Chapter 292 – High-Profile Entry (Big Chapter Requests Subscription)

“This is my daughter!”

The aunt frowned, picking Suzume up and placing her on her legs.

“Doesn’t she look like me?” The aunt was a little upset.

Where with you, she looked with you completely unrelated to …….. The old aunt with a light smile face slightly stiffened, and then restored in a flash, said with a warm smile:

“Upon closer inspection, the eyebrows are quite similar, it was my eyes that were clumsy.”

Well, the eyebrows are similar to that carny outside.

No words on the way.

Xu Pingzhi drove his carriage to the neighborhood of Stargazer’s House, first hearing a cacophony of voices, and turning through the streets, seeing a roiling sea of people.

He roughly swept a glance, and as far as he saw the crowd, there were at least one or two thousand. And this was only a small portion of the people, one could imagine how many crowds were radiating in all directions with the Stargazer Building as the center, it was an appalling number.

“This can be even more lively than the spring festival ………” Xu Pingzhi reined in his horse and stopped the carriage outside.

“Why have you stopped?” From the carriage, came the aunt’s voice.

“There’s no road ahead, it’s full of people.” Xu Pingzhi explained, “Let’s get off here.”

The aunt lifted up the carriage window and got off with her husband’s support, Xu Ling Yue also got off the carriage with her father’s support, and Little Dou Ding was carried down by Xu Pingzhi.

Old Auntie frowned, she usually got on and off the carriage and was greeted by a maid who carried a small wooden stool, this moment was a bit uncomfortable.

It was a good thing that the carriage was simple and the bottom of the carriage wasn’t high off the ground, unlike her luxurious carriage made of goldenrod, where the boards could be as high as someone’s waist.

She leapt off the wagon with ease.

Xu Pingzhi beckoned, summoning one of the Imperial Sword Guards on the street and commanded, “Watch over the carriage.”

As he spoke, he flashed his Imperial Sword Guard’s belt tag.

The young Imperial Swordsman answered respectfully.

Xu Pingzhi with his wife and children bypassed the crowd, towards the passageway cleared by the forbidden army, the passageway on both sides of the standing full of forbidden army, will be the people blocked away, forming a special to the dignitaries of the “safe passage”.

At the intersection of the passage, two forbidden soldiers interlocked their spears and stopped Xu Pingzhi and his party.

Xu Pingzhi pulled out the waist tag given by Xu Qi’an, and the forbidden army took a look at it and released him.

“Ning Banquet is getting higher and higher in status now,” the aunt said joyfully, “Master, I never dreamed that I would be sitting with the capital’s dignitaries.”

Xu Xinxin couldn’t help but cha lemon and hummed, “Mother, you’ll become a granting wife in the future.”

Xu Pingzhi backhanded a backstab, “Think about how to stay in the capital first.”

Xu New Year wilted.

According to the meaning of the academy, it was to find a way for him to go to Qingzhou, far away from the capital city, and show off his ambition.

But Xu New Year didn’t really want to go; going to Qingzhou meant being away from his parents, his elder brother, and his sisters, and if he couldn’t go back to the capital after his three-year term was up, he’d have to serve out of town for another three years.

Three years after three years, I could only see my family when I returned to the capital to report on my duties.

Of course, there was another reason; if he couldn’t get into the Hanlin Academy, he was basically cut off from the Cabinet.

Dad’s “my son resigned from the old capital of the first minister” really became an empty phrase.

After walking through the “safe passage”, the family raised their eyes to look out and saw a large square with many pergolas set up, and civil officials, military generals, and dignitaries sitting in their respective areas in a well-organized and clear-cut manner.

In addition, there were many noblewomen and young ladies, basically dragging their families to see the fight.

For these noblewomen, the face of Da Bong is still secondary, and watching the fun is the most important thing.

Xu Pingzhi scanned the area while taking his wife and children to the area where the night watchman’s yamen was located, and at the main seat sat a green coat with gray sideburns.

He was flanked by clear gold gongs, behind the gold gongs were silver gongs, and the brass gongs were put on guard duty and had no business staying in the pergola to watch the show.

Xu Pingzhi approached with his wife and son, and after arching his hand, he quickly took his wife and son and the strange woman to their seats.

The big names Wei Yuan and Jin Gong didn’t bother with him, which made Uncle Xu sigh in relief, it was good to be a little transparent.

The old auntie also breathed a sigh of relief, it was nice to be a little transparent.

………..

Among these pergolas, the most luxuriously constructed is a resting platform wrapped in yellow silk cloth, with a table set up at the bottom of the shed, and members of the royal family and clansmen sitting at the edge of the case.

The Empress and Princess Chen, who had nearly beaten their brains out in the harem, also came, and they all spoke and laughed as if they had always been amicable sisters without any disagreements.

The four princesses arrived, and Huaiqing sat at the head of the table, with Framed sitting next to her.

Among the princes, the crown prince is still in confinement and is not allowed to go out, the rest of the princes are all here.

This fight, in terms of the royal family, is not only a lively event, but also about the face of the court, about the face of the royal family.

“Where is Xu Qi’an, why hasn’t he come out, does he fight the bald asses ah, how do the bald asses plan to fight …….”

Lin An twittered endlessly, her watery peach blossom eyes looked around, not seeing her dog slave, and was a bit deflated.

“Hang on!”

The Seventh Prince shook his head, “That Xu Qi’an is a martial artist, how can he fight with the Buddhist sect? Besides, with his meager cultivation, can he really cope?”

The Third Prince laughed and chimed in, “Unless the Buddhist Sect competes with him in poetry.”

The two princesses and the royals couldn’t help but laugh.

Lin An was furious and swept over her elder brother and sister fiercely, scolding, “Are you guys happy that he lost? Do you want this palace to cast a Buddha statue for each of you?”

The Third Princess frowned, “We’re just talking, Lin An what are you doing.”

The rest of the emperors frowned.

Since the case of Concubine Fu, Lin’an’s temper has turned violent, and he is not polite to them, his siblings, and his words are getting more and more impulsive.

Huaiqing faintly said, “If it’s a Taoist fight, naturally whoever is stronger will win, and the same goes for other systems. But Buddhism is different, Buddhism is about seeing enlightenment, about Buddha’s heart, and about Zen.

“It’s true that Xu Qi’an is only a seventh grade martial artist, and cultivation levels stronger than his abound, but what’s the point of having a high cultivation level? Can it be as high as a Duo Er Luohan?”

Waiking always speaks in a way that leaves people speechless and unable to refute.

The royal princes and princesses stopped talking at once.

………..

In a position immediately adjacent to the pergola of the clan room, Chief Minister Wang Zhenwen took a sip of wine and noticed that his daughter’s gaze had been looking towards the area where the night watchman’s office was located.

He frowned and asked, “Muir, what are you looking at?”

Miss Wang retracted her gaze and responded with a shallow smile, “It’s the first time my daughter has seen the famous Duke Wei, he really does have an extraordinary demeanor.”

When she said that, she glanced at a certain handsome, peerless little old man out of the corner of her eye.

“By the way, why haven’t we seen His Majesty.” Miss Wang didn’t move to change the topic and distract her father’s attention.

Chief Auxiliary Wang looked sideways at the imperial shed and laughed, “The two in the palace are fighting so passionately that His Majesty is too annoyed to come down. He should be overlooking the Eight Trigrams Terrace at this moment.”

Ms. Wang let out an “oh” sound, and then asked, “Father, what is the purpose of the Western Regiment’s visit to the capital? This unjustified proposal for a fight is really puzzling.”

Missions don’t just come, they must have a purpose, and the powdery moves of the Buddhist Sect in the past few days have made people realize that this time, the Western Regions’ mission to the capital is not coming from a good place.

“Maybe it has something to do with the Sampo case.” Chief Wang said faintly.

Miss Wang frowned, extracting two pieces of information from her father’s answer; one, her father, who was the chief minister, wasn’t very clear about it either. Two, the Sangpo case seemed to hide a deeper inside story.

Just want to pursue the question, the king’s chief minister waved his hand with some impatience: “You a daughter, don’t ask about the affairs of the court, that a belly of ghost wit, use it on your husband in the future.”

Miss Wang bristled and stopped talking, and while her father didn’t care, she turned her attention back to the night watchman’s court.

When the fight is over, I will organize a literary meeting in my house ………. She thought darkly.

On the other side, Xu Pingzhi, with his years of experience serving in the capital, swept through the pergolas one by one, meeting big names he recognized, but of course, more big names he didn’t recognize.

However, with the Royal Shed as the centerpiece, the closer the distance, the higher the status of the bigwigs must be.

Suddenly there is a kind of illusion of ascending to the power stage of the capital, and all of this is brought by Ning Yan ……… After this fight, if Ning Yan wins, he will be famous for the capital, and famous for the Dafeng …….. If he loses, I’m afraid that he will be spurned for a long time, and if the history books make another entry, he will have to carry a thousand curses.

When he thought about this, Uncle Xu’s mood was very complicated.

“Master, look at that princess, isn’t she the one who came to worship the Ning Banquet that day?” Auntie was also watching the scene and recognized Princess Huaiqing, who was as cool as a lotus and brightly shining.

Xu Pingzhi gave a “hmm” as a response to his wife.

The aunt went on to say, “The princess in the red dress beside her is also very handsome, it is …… her eyes that seem to seduce people, and she does not look very serious.”

Xu Pingzhi was startled and whispered, “Nonsense, don’t talk about the Princess on such occasions, do you want a full house?”

The aunt shut up in a hurry.

“What’s there to say? There’s not a single good thing in the Da Bong royal family.” Old Auntie said faintly.

We don t know you, get lost and talk …….. aside. Xu New Year’s heart slandered.

Xu Pingzhi exhaled, forcing himself not to pay attention to the woman, admonishing his wife and son, “On occasions like this, you must look more, listen more and talk less, and if you do nothing, you can’t go wrong with anything …….. Suzaku?!”

The word “Suzaku” was shouted out in an off-key voice.

At some point, Xu Lingyin walked up to the green-clothed eunuch with her short little legs, and with her face angled, she pointed to the food on the table, wistfully, and said:

“Uncle, can I eat your food?”

The numbness in Xu Pingzhi’s tailbone that saw this scene ran all the way to his heavenly soul.

The golden gongs around Wei Yuan’s side frowned at the same time, thinking that this is a childish boy from where, so ignorant of etiquette.

Zhang Kaitai, who had worshipped Xu Qi’an, recognized the little duding and said busily, “Duke Wei, this is Xu Ningyan’s youngest sister.”

The golden gongs gazed gently at Xu Lingyin and said, “This child is not afraid of being born and has enough guts, he will become a great man.

Wei Yuan twisted up a piece of candied fruit and handed it over.

Xu Lingyin took it and swallowed it in a few bites.

“That’s not how candied fruit is eaten, the longer you hold it in your mouth, the longer the sweet flavor lasts.” Wei Yuan laughed.

“By the time the sweetness is finished, the preserves will have been eaten by others.” Xu Suoyin raised a small eyebrow:

“I just have to keep eating and it will stay sweet …….. Uncle, I want more.”

Wei Yuan smiled and threw in a few more candied fruits, Xu Lingyin ate for a while and said with some embarrassment, “Why doesn’t uncle eat ah.”

Wei Yuan smiled and shook his head.

“You’re the one who didn’t eat them,” Xu Suoyin blinked her innocent, clear eyes and cautiously tried, “Uncle didn’t eat them, so I ate them all.”

“You can eat it all?” Wei Yuan laughed, glancing at Xu Lingyin’s small stomach and then at the table full of melons, candied fruits and excellent pastries.

“Wei, Wei Gong …….”

Xu Pingzhi came over stiffly, bowing and trying to keep his voice from trembling, “The little daughter is stubborn, don’t you see eye to eye with her.”

Wei Yuan raised his sleeve and picked up a yellow-orange pear and handed it to Xu Lingyin.

Seeing this, Jiang Lizhong laughed and said, “Wei Gong accompanied the child to talk, so you can go back.”

Xu Pingzhi glanced at Little Doudin and then at Wei Yuan, who treated himself as if he were nothing, and helplessly turned away.

“Father, what are you afraid of? Big brother is a silver gong and is highly appreciated by Lord Wei, Suzaku will be fine.” Erlang Xu said.

Xu Pingzhi sighed.

Young people will not understand Wei Yuan’s fearfulness, and those who have experienced the Battle of Shanhaiguan will not think that Wei Yuan is an amiable person.

Time slowly passed, the food in front of Wei Yuan became less and less, he looked at Xu Lingyin’s small stomach, frowned and raised his hand to press on her head.

Then, he pressed and pinched the girl in various places on her body for a long time.

“It’s a pity.” Wei Yuan lamented.

“Righteous father, what’s wrong?” Yang Yan asked.

“This child’s bones are strong and qi is sufficient, his innate roots are deep, it’s just that his sinew flexibility is too poor for martial arts training.” Wei Yuan shook his head.

“No wonder it’s so good at eating, this girl doll is a rice bucket, right?” Nangong Qianlou scoffed.

“tuituitui……,” Xu Suoyin spat at him, her shallow little eyebrows raised, “You’re bad.”

She remembers this beautiful sister who came to the house and lied about her big brother’s death, causing her father and mother to cry for a long time.

Nangong Qianlou grunted coldly and drew a handkerchief into her arms to wipe the drool from her pants leg.

Unconsciously, the time went to the sixth hour, and Master Du Yu, who was meditating under the pergola with his knees crossed, opened his eyes, and his voice was loud and clear: “Supervisor Zheng, do you know about the Sumeru Arabidopsis.”

“Just a little trick!”

Above the Nine Heavens, there was a snort of laughter from the Supervisor Zheng.

In the audience, no matter the dignitaries, or the people outside, all of them were in high spirits and emotional.

The main event has begun!

Only to see Master Du Du took out a golden bowl from his sleeve and gently threw it out.

“Bang!”

The golden bowl weighed more than a thousand pounds, smashing the stone slabs cracked and deeply embedded in the ground.

A pure golden light rose from the mantle and unfolded high in the sky, revealing a high mountain with winding stone steps stretching to the end of the mountain forest.

At the top of the hill, vaguely, is a temple.

“Divine means ……..” Auntie was stunned and jaw-dropped.

Apart from the martial artists with their cultivation in place, but none of the ordinary people who saw this scene could manage their expressions, and clamor rose in all directions.

“Righteous Father, what is a Sumeru Arabidopsis?” Nangong Qianlou frowned.

“This is a Buddhist allusion.” Wei Yuan glanced at Xu Lingyin, who was oblivious to the things around her, and said indifferently:

“The Sumeru hides the mustard seed, the mustard seed contains the Sumeru, and legend has it that the Buddha had a mountain in his hand called Mount Sumeru, which was his dojo, and wherever he went, the dojo was there.”

Yang Yan remembered the Battle of Shanhaiguan twenty years ago and the sight of Buddhist monks transporting their armies, and said indistinctly, “Buddha’s Kingdom in the palm of your hand?”

Wei Yuan nodded, “In the golden mantle, there is a mountain hidden.”

“Jing Si, you enter the mountain and sit at the second level.” Grandmaster Tuo Er commanded.

The handsome monk in the green-colored nakshatra rose and saluted with folded hands, and then, in full view of the crowd and in front of countless people, stepped into the golden bowl.

In the next moment, the scroll that unfolded high in the air had an additional young monk climbing the mountain.

He climbed the steps unhurriedly to the mountainside and sat down on his knees.

A golden light sprinkled down from the sky, converging on him, and in an instant, his body surface was covered with a layer of golden light, and the whole person was like gold casting.

……………

“So there really is a Sumeru Arabidopsis in this world.” Xu Qi’an staggered.

Yang Qianyi, who had his back turned to him, nodded and said, ”The Sumeru Arabidopsis, also known as the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of your hand, however, this should be a world without a master, hidden in a golden bowl.

“If it’s a “Buddha Kingdom” with a master, then victory or defeat is at the whim of its master, which is fair enough.”

Chu Caiwei stuffed a bag of pastries into his arms and delicately said, “Xu Ningyan, go ahead and eat on the way up the mountain.”

“……. Thanks, not hungry.” Xu Qi’an politely declined.

Behind them, a group of white-robed warlocks encouraged, “Go on, Mr. Xu, although I don’t know why Teacher Supervisor Zheng chose you, the teacher must have his reasons.”

“Be sure to triumph, Mr. Xu.”

Can you say it in triumph, such a good opportunity, in front of the face of the whole capital, I will first load this wave of force ……… Xu Qi an patted Yang Qianyi s shoulder and said:

“Senior Brother Yang, after today, you’ll understand what it means to be a saint in front of people!”

………….

Outside the arena, on the roof of a restaurant, the green-shirted swordsman Chu Yuanzhen and the stout, big bald man Heng Yuan stood side by side, looking at the golden light of the little monk Jingshi, Zuoyuanlang let out a “tsk”:

“Golden light casts the body, this Sumeru World enhances Jingshi’s adamantine body, with Xu Ningyan’s current strength, it’s impossible to cut it off.”

Hengyuan’s mood was a bit complicated, according to reason, he was a Buddhist disciple, and should have stood on the side of the Buddhist sect. However, he was also a Dafeng person, and the one who fought was Xu Da Shanren.

“By the way, what the hell happened last night? How come you guys didn’t receive my summons?” Chu Yuanzhan asked.

“Daoist Golden Lotus shielded.” Everest said.

This morning, Chu Yuan Zhen came to find his companion “to see the play”, incidentally asked about the matter of last night’s message, the two statements, agreed that the Golden Lotus Taoist Director shielded the number four.

“I know it’s Daoist Golden Lotus shielding me from the transmission, but why?” Chu Yuanzhuan expressed his puzzlement.

“Daoist Golden Lotus doesn’t want you to say that Xu Qi’an fights on behalf of the Divine Constabulary?”

“Heh, do you think it makes sense?” Chu Yuanzhan laughed.

“Doesn’t make sense.” Everest shook his head.

“I always feel that this matter is not simple.” Chu Yuanzhan mused, not dwelling on the issue, and turned to say:

“You’ve been at the San Yang stage for three days, have you gotten anything out of it?”

“The Vajra Sutra cannot be taught easily, and Master Uncle Duo told me that if I wanted to have a glimpse of the Vajra Sutra, I could go back to the Western Region with him and cultivate at Mount Sumeru for three years.” Hengyuan said.

“When your entire being becomes a Buddhist from the inside out, you will have no more relationship with Da Feng?” The corner of Chu Yuanzhuan’s mouth lifted into a mocking smile.

“That is not the case,” Hengyuan defended, “The Vajra Sutra is not something that ordinary people can cultivate… Don’t you wonder why it was Jingshi who stepped forward to answer the battle and not someone else?”

Chu Yuanjian’s heart stirred, “In the Western Regions’ mission, only Jingshi has cultivated the Diamond Sutra?”

Hengyuan nodded his head, “Either you are born with a Buddha root and can realize the meaning of it. Either that, or go to Mount Sumeru to listen to the Buddhist teachings, or there is a glimmer of possibility to comprehend the Vajra Sutra.”

Chu Yuanjian suddenly thought of something and struck his palm, somewhat annoyed, ”That is to say, even if Xu Qi’an wins the duel and obtains the Vajra Sutra, it’s useless?

“Because it’s impossible for a womanizer like Xu Qi’an to have Buddhist roots.”

Hengyuan was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

In the middle of the conversation, the two heard Master Du Yu say aloud, “This fight is called Mountain Climbing! When you get to the top of the mountain and enter the temple, if you are still unwilling to convert to Buddhism, you will be counted as a loser for my Buddhist Sect. The Sifu has three chances.”

Hearing this, Wei Yuan smiled.

“Climbing ……… mountains,” Yang Yan mused, “there must be many difficulties along the way, and if you are not careful, you will directly fall.”

After finishing his speech, Tuo Er Luo Han stopped speaking and meditated.

Inside and outside the arena, the audience waited for a long time, and still did not see the Secretary of the Heavenly Monitors to send someone to answer the battle, and there was a lot of talk for a while.

“How come the Divisional Commissioner hasn’t moved, is he afraid?”

“Where’s the superintendent, the superintendent say something.”

“What’s going on? If the Heaven Supervisor is afraid, then why did he agree to a duel, is it too much of a shame that Da Feng isn’t humiliated enough.”

Suddenly, someone shouted in surprise, “Someone came out of the Stargazer Building.”

In an instant, countless people turned their heads at the same time, and countless gazes looked towards the Stargazer Building’s gate.

In the lobby on the first floor, a cloaked man slowly walked out, carrying a wine altar in his hand, wearing a hood and hanging his head so that he couldn’t see his face.

The moment the cloaked man stepped out of the dais, a low chanting sound spread throughout the room, accompanied by qi, into the ears of the crowd.

“When a young man is fifteen or twenty, he walks the streets with a green shirt and a sword.”

The cloaked man took the second step, and his low voice suddenly became high: “The roc rises with the wind in one day, rocking up to 90,000 miles.”

This …….. In those pergolas, a single civil official unconsciously stood up and cast an eye toward that silhouette.

The cloaked man stepped out for the third step, pointing to the sky with one finger, his voice changed from high to majestic: “The sky is the shore at the end of the sea, and I am the peak of the martial arts way!”

Inside and outside the arena, one martial artist raised his eyebrows and looked odd, and some of the Jianghu people outside the arena even responded by stirring up their chi.

The cloaked man took the fourth step and said with a long whistle, “A man who has turned to fight for three thousand miles, a sword that once served as a million divisions.”

Wei Yuan raised his eyebrows and leaned forward slightly.

The generals of the army, rising with a flourish.

The cloaked man took the fifth step and sighed leisurely, “Heaven will not give birth to my Xu Ning Banquet, and the nine states will be like a long night for all eternity!”

Xu New Year was trembling with anger, this is the peak of his life, created in the disheartened.

Big brother is so shameless.

He looked around in his exasperation and saw a sea of dumbfounded faces, so intent were they as they looked at the cloaked figure that entered slowly.

I read this poem and was made fun of by my family, while my big brother read this poem, but it was the attention of all the people, all the people admire …….. Xu New Year thought angrily:

Big brother is shameless.

In exasperation, Xu New Year looked again at the woman beside him, who was looking at the cloaked man, somewhat lost in thought.

Framed looked at the cloaked man in fascination, as if there was no room for anything else in his eyes.

Huaiqing, on the other hand, her eyes bloomed with color, and for the first time, she felt that this man was so radiant.

Xu Qi’an did not recite another poem, carrying the wine altar, he entered step by step, finally stopping by the golden mantle, then, he removed his hood and tilted his head to drink.

The wine ran along his chin, staining his lapel with wanton bravado.

Suddenly, he slammed the wine jar to the ground and laughed maniacally at the sound of “clanging”:

“The world’s heroes out of my generation, once into the jianghu years destroyed. I can’t beat a drunken life when I talk and laugh about my ambitions.”

With a rampant, boisterous laugh, he leapt into the golden bowl.

The moment was filled with silence.

After a long time, suddenly, the clamor came, like a tidal wave, sweeping across the room.

“Da Bong, will win!”

“Da Bong, will win!”

This high-profile appearance, this line of masterpieces, instantly crushed the Buddhist Sect in terms of style and overlooked it in terms of momentum.

It also gave confidence back to the people of the capital.

The civil and military officials slowly nodded their heads, revealing a look of appreciation, so it turned out that Xu Qi’an’s high-profile entrance this time had a deeper meaning.

A clean sweep and a reorganization.
