    Chapter Index

    Xu Qi’an’s state was like a bucket of cold water poured over the hearts of the crowd, causing the soaring atmosphere to recede and causing the cheers to fade away.

    “The little monk who got on the mountainside is the one who sat on the South City’s Magnificent Man Terrace for half a decade.”

    “It is said to be the Buddhist Vajra Undefeatable, undefeatable indeed, in five days, many heroes and heroines have challenged him on the stage, and no one has been able to break his golden body.”

    At this moment, the people of the capital, as well as the foreign jianghu people, recalled the fear of being dominated by Jingshi’s adamantine body.

    Thinking about how powerful this clean-cut monk was.

    Some of the people who don’t live in the South City and don’t know much about it inquired about it, and the reaction was instantly intense:

    “Is there such a thing? You must not listen to hearsay; marketplace rumors love to exaggerate and are not to be trusted.”

    “It’s not an exaggeration, I also know that some time ago, there was an extremely powerful swordsman who struck out, supposedly summoning stones as swords, quite a feat. But he still lost to this little monk.”

    “The Buddha Sect is too strong, isn’t it, compared to that, our people are struggling and having a hard time.”

    The people of the capital were deflated for a while.

    From the ring battle between Pure Thought and Pure Dust and the **, to last night’s descent of the Dharma, the Buddha Sect gave the people of the capital a great shock, and the impression of being powerful penetrated deep into the hearts of the people.

    …………

    “Poor monk remembers that Xu Ningyan’s mastery is the Heaven and Earth One-Sword Slash, does he still have the strength left to slash out a slash?” Sixth Heng Yuan shook his head, folded his hands, and sighed lowly:

    “The second level, the Vajra Formation, is only a martial arts fight, and he only has the power of one blade, which he has depleted in the Eight Bitter Formations on the side.”

    Chu Yuanzhan couldn’t help but laugh, “Number Six, you’re too brain dead.”

    Everest frowned in disbelief.

    Chu Yuanjian didn’t answer and continued, “However, unless he can cut the second blade and break through the second blade of the Eight Bitterness Formation, otherwise, he won’t be able to cut through Jingshi’s golden body no matter what.”

    ………….

    Inside the pergola, a heated debate was taking place at that moment.

    “You can rest if you don’t have enough qi, it’s not like there’s a time limit for this fight. As long as Xu Qi’an can slash with a power no weaker than the one he used just now, breaking the Vajra Formation won’t be a problem.”

    After a Lord had expressed his opinion, he immediately drew rebuttals from the bystanders.

    The one who rebutted Wei Haibe was also an honored noble with a not-so-weak cultivation, “That slash just now, Wei Haibe thought that it was a mere seventh ranked martial artist who could cut it out?”

    The surrounding dignitaries listened attentively as the two debated.

    Framed beckoned and crisply said, “Wei Hai Bo, Ping Ding Bo, you two say more clearly. Dog ……. How certain is that Xu Qi’an to break the Vajra Formation?”

    Ping Ding Bo is a middle-aged man in his early forties, in the prime of life, stout, tiger eyes blooming with God, heard the second princess ask, rose and arched his hand and said:

    “Your Highness, in my opinion, that Xu Qi’an has no chance of winning.”

    Framed frowned, “Why do you say that.”

    Ping Ding Bo sighed, “Xu Qi’an is only a seventh grade martial artist, and Monk Jingshi’s golden body cannot be broken even by Chu Yuanzhuan, let alone him.”

    One of the civil ministers frowned and spoke out, “Uncle Pingdeng doesn’t know, although Xu Qi’an is of the seventh rank, he is strong and has a record of having cut through a sixth rank copper-skinned and iron-boned martial artist twice.”

    Ping Ding Bo shook his head, “The Buddhists’ Vajra Undefeatable is not comparable to a martial artist’s copper skin and iron bones. Besides, this little monk has been sitting in South City for half a decade, if Xu Qi’an could win, he would have already made his move, why has he been holding back?”

    The civil minister who spoke out nodded, Ping Ding Bo was an honored man who had participated in the Battle of Shanhai twenty years ago. His vision wouldn’t be bad, and since he said so, then it was more than likely the truth.

    The framer thought for half a day, but did not come up with a rebuttal, so he gasped, “Ping Ding Bo, how can you grow others’ ambition and destroy your own, what good is it to you if Xu Qi’an loses?”

    Ping Ding Bo helplessly said, “I’m not longing for other people’s ambition, Xu Qi’an on behalf of the Sitian Supervisor to fight, also on behalf of the imperial court, I also hope that he can win, just …….. The chance of winning is too small.”

    Knowing that most of the civil ministers and ladies present were amateurs, after watching Xu Qi’an break the formation with a single slash just now, their confidence instantly rose, and smiles blossomed on the faces of one of the flower-like ladies.

    But now, after listening to the analysis of Ping Ding Bo, an insider, the civil officials and the ladies also realized that the situation was not optimistic.

    Wei Hai Bo grunted and said aloud, “Ping Ding Bo, how do you know that Xu Qi’an can’t make a second chop?”

    At this time, Monk Pure Dust, who had been meditating without saying anything, spoke, ”That slash just now, I think it must have been Supervisor Zheng who borrowed his strength. Otherwise, with a seventh grade martial artist, how would he be able to cut out such a terrifying blade aura.

    “Seventh grade martial artists have limited physical strength, how can they withstand that kind of power infusion again?”

    Flat Topper shook his head, which was what he wanted to say.

    The pergolas everywhere quieted down, the civil and military officials bowed their heads and drank, while the women’s families deliberately twisted their heads not to look at the Buddhist monks.

    There are no more words, but in my heart, I’m not convinced.

    “Father, what do you think?”

    Miss Wang looked at Lord Shoufu with a smile.

    Chief Minister Wang said lightly, “See more, say less, it’s too early to draw conclusions at this time.”

    Even though he had decided in his heart that it would be difficult for Xu Qi’an to win the fight, and had already begun to think about the next candidate in his mind, after the face-slapping he had just experienced, it was impossible for Chief Wang to jump to any conclusions.

    The Chief Minister of the Hall will not fall down twice in one place.

    “Instead, I have an idea.”

    Miss Wang smiled, looked at Monk Pure Dust and said in a loud voice, “This master, the Eight Bitterness Formation is used by Buddhist monks to sharpen their Buddhist hearts, it has nothing to do with battle prowess, and even if one is a high-grade martial artist, it would be difficult to break the formation easily, is that correct?”

    Monk Pure Dust nodded, “Instead of letting a high-grade martial artist enter the formation, it would be better to find a young child.”

    Ms. Wang said sweetly, “Just now, Master Duo said that Da Feng has three chances, is that correct?”

    “Naturally.”

    Miss Wang’s clear and gentle face revealed a bright smile, “Now that the Eight Bitterness Formation has been broken, even if Xu Qi’an’s strength is exhausted and he can’t get past the Vajra Formation, then the imperial court sends out a high-grade martial artist to break the formation, and that Vajra at the mountainside, might block it?”

    Monk Pure Dust froze, then frowned.

    The crowd’s eyes swished brightly, with a feeling of enlightenment, and all sorts of thoughts rose and fell.

    As to why the Supervisor had chosen a seventh-grade silver gong to fight, no one knew the reason and was secretly perplexed. Now that they saw Xu Qi’an break the Eight Bitterness Formation, Ms. Wang clarified the benefits.

    The crowd’s minds opened instantly.

    “So this Xu Qi’an is the horse’s front man… Is it possible to come out then? Replace it with a high-grade martial artist to break the formation.”

    “Well, as far as high grade martial artists go, the capital is full of them, and I think it’s the ones that can break through the Buddhist Sect’s golden body.”

    “If we’re talking about martial artists, our Zhenbei King is deservedly the number one person in Da Feng.”

    The topic gradually turned to the King of Zhenbei.

    Miss Wang was out of the limelight, she glanced at the area where the night watchman was in a casual manner, and saw that Xu New Year was also looking at her, and her heart was delighted.

    Before their gazes met, Ms. Wang didn’t move her eyes away.

    “The one who spoke just now is a female member of Chief Minister Wang’s family? It seems to be his daughter …….” Xu New Year retracted his gaze in disgust, he had a poor opinion of the Wang family.

    Because the Wang Party and the Wei Party were political enemies, the Wang Party persecuted the elder brother several times, and all these Xu New Year remembered in his heart.

    He had long considered the Wang Party as his future imaginary enemy.

    “The King of Zhenbei is known as the most talented martial artist in the Great Feng for two hundred years, but it’s a pity that he’s not in the capital, or else it wouldn’t be the turn of this group of bald asses to be arrogant.”

    Xu New Year heard the woman beside him open her mouth to comment.

    “This woman knows quite a lot, this insight is not something that a woman from an ordinary family can compare to, and I don’t know where big brother knows such a married woman.” Xu New Year secretly said.

    “My big brother is also a martial arts practicing wizard.” Xu Lingyue said.

    The woman smiled and didn’t argue.

    But Xu Lingyue heard the meaning behind the smile, it was laziness to argue, just like a person who holds the truth in his hands and doesn’t care to argue with people who argue with strong words.

    ………..

    Foshan.

    Xu Qi’an rested for a moment and continued to pick up the steps, not encountering any more hurdles along the way, and arrived directly in front of Monk Jingshi.

    At this time, Pure Si, his body was like gold casting, emitting a wisp of faint golden light.

    I’m envious, if I learn this kind of divine power, I’ll be covered in gold ………. Xu Qi’an’s mind naturally floated to a word: Golden Gun!

    “Master Jinsi!”

    Xu Qi’an stopped and sat down on the lower steps, saying, “Can I rest for a while?”

    The young monk Jingshi sat on his knees and nodded with a smile, “The monks can adjust their breath despite themselves.”

    Xu Qi’an raised an eyebrow, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll come back with another cut.”

    Monk Jingshi smiled, “The monk’s meridians are on fire at this time, can he still withstand that power just now?”

    “It’s not a matter of being able to withstand it, it’s just that the skill needs to cool down.” Xu Qi’an grinned.

    The body was like a vessel, overloaded with the power of the outside world, and at this moment, it was entering the time of the Magi. But this was only one of the reasons, another reason was that he could no longer mobilize the power of beings now.

    It’s like he can only pick up money once a day and has to wait for tomorrow to continue picking up gold. That’s why it says skills need to be cooldown.

    Mobilizing the power of all beings with the secret method of the Fourth …….. The secret method should only be a means to an end, the core of the problem is in myself, is that I can mobilize the power of all beings …….. I suspect that this is an upgraded version of eccentric luck ……… Obviously, Monk Shenshu knows this ability of mine, then Supervisor Zheng naturally knows it as well ……… I remember Monk Shenshu said that he and I am a kind of person, and even he parasitized in my body for this reason ……. This is a bit of a fine thought ah!

    Xu Qi’an thought darkly.

    “Has Master been a monk since childhood?” Xu Qi’an said idly.

    Monk Jyoshi nodded.

    “Does the master practice Zen, or martial arts?”

    “Zen and martial arts.” Netsuke replied.

    There is also Zen martial arts dual cultivation this kind of operation? This little monk’s talent is somewhat amazing ah …….. Xu Qi’an nodded and said, “I’ve heard that the Buddhist sect emphasizes entering the world before leaving it. Master has been a monk since childhood, and he doesn’t even have a home, so what is the point of leaving the world?”

    Monk Jing Si heard that Xu Qi An wanted to discourse with himself on Buddhism, he was not afraid and said: “To become a monk means to cut off the threads of worry and to vanish into emptiness, you don’t have to bite the words.

    “Since I was a young monk practicing Buddhism and walking in the West, I have tasted the hardships of the world and the eight sufferings of life.”

    Bullshit, you’ve tasted the eight pains of life, you’re a person who hasn’t even experienced the mortgage and car loan and the sky-high bride price, say you’ve tasted the eight pains of life in front of me?

    Xu Qi’an mentally spat.

    “What does Master think, about female color?” Xu Qi’an asked.

    “Bone Scraper!” Monk Jingshi commented succinctly.

    “It is still early for that; the Master has never touched a woman at all, so how can he know that a woman is not the most wonderful thing in the world.”

    The conversation between the two was heard word for word in the ears of the onlookers.

    “Isn’t it a vajra formation? Why are you starting to talk about Buddhism?”

    “Where is it talking about Dharma, it is clearly talking about women’s color, this lord is rather wordy and speaks to my heart.”

    The men all smiled in unison with “heh heh heh heh”.

    The woman blushed and spat.

    “Aiya, why is the dog slave saying such nonsense.” Framed’s face reddened and he bowed his head slightly.

    “Mother, big brother is getting more and more immodest.” Xu Lingyue stomped her foot.

    Auntie doesn’t say anything, a little embarrassed.

    Xu Er uncle is both embarrassed and ashamed, this kid nonsense what it, this place officials and dignitaries gathered, and thousands of thousands of people surrounded, some difficult to reach the hall of elegance words, don’t spit it out.

    ………..

    “Poor monks indeed have never experienced female sex, but female sex is as fierce as a tiger, this is something that has been passed down from generation to generation of senior monks, so don’t force your words.” Jing Si was unmoved.

    “As the saying goes, you don’t get a tiger’s son without entering the tiger’s den!” Xu Qi’an retorted.

    Jing Si was stunned, “What is the explanation for this statement of the Shi Master?”

    Xu Qi’an stopped talking.

    “If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, you won’t get the tiger’s son …….. What does this have to do with beauty?”

    “Perhaps there is a profound truth contained within, which we just can’t decipher?”

    Doubts flashed through the minds of the crowd outside.

    ………….

    “Then there are a few things that this official would like to ask the master,” Xu Qi’an stared at him and laughed kindly, “Have you ever supported your parents? Have you ever worked hard to run a household? Have you ever picked up a hoe and planted a field?

    “The Buddhist sect does not engage in production, chants sutras and recites Buddha’s name all day long, and needs incense to feed them. This official asks you, what kind of sutra do you recite and what kind of Buddha do you recite?

    “To walk through the world as a bystander is to realize the suffering of all beings? You have only experienced the eight sufferings of life, and you have not experienced any of the rest.

    “You’re just a fake monk.”

    Pure Thought pondered for a long time and replied, “When a Buddha observes everything in the world, he naturally understands the world’s afflictions.”

    “Yes!”

    Xu Qi’an nodded and drew his long black and gold sword, slashing a blood-soaked wound in his arm as he covered the wound and looked at Jinsi:

    “Does the Master think I’m in pain?”

    “When the blade is added to the body, there is no way it won’t hurt.” Jinsi folded his arms.

    “Then you know how much I hurt?” Xu Qi’an asked again.

    Jynx was silent, he had a vajra protection, the blade could not harm him, and indeed he could not answer.

    “Don’t you understand, Master?” Xu Qi’an sighed, “This is what you call “observation”, you only know that I’m in pain, but you don’t know how much I’m in pain. You only know that I am in pain, but you don’t know how much I am in pain. You only know the suffering of the world, but you certainly don’t know how much suffering there is.

    “You can’t even appreciate the suffering of the living beings, so how can you talk about universalizing the living beings? Is it not a joke, this official will tell you a story.”

    Nettles didn’t say anything, but made a gesture of listening.

    “One year, there was a great drought in the world, and the people had no rice to eat, and starved to death in countless numbers. There was a gentleman of rich family origin who heard of this, and was astonished and said something; does the master know what he said?”

    Nettles pursued, “What did he say.”

    Xu Qi’an stared at the little monk Jingshi, revealing a mocking smile as he said verbatim, “He – doesn’t – eat – meat –meat.”

    Monk Jing Si was struck by lightning, his pupils slightly dilated, his face stagnant.

    “Well said!”

    “Then the little monk is speechless, look, the little monk is speechless.”

    The crowd outside applauded loudly.

    Monks are best at arguing and talking about Zen, a mouth can bloom, no one can say, but Xu Qi’an’s words, so that the little monk from the West is speechless.

    It felt like defeating the Buddhists in their best area, and from the onlooker’s perspective, the acidity was even more enjoyable than the blade Xu Qi’an had wielded.

    Morale is high.

    The courtiers watched in silence, the fight can not break the vajra formation, to see what this Xu Qi’an purpose.

    At that moment, Xu Qi’an threw the black and gold longsword in front of Monk Jingshi and said in a deep voice, “Master, if you feel that this official is wrong, and if you feel that you can truly experience the hardships of the people, why don’t you try it?”

    Jynx looked up and murmured, “An experience?”

    Xu Qi’an nodded, “Take away the Vajra Undefeated and make a cut on your arm, and you’ll be able to comprehend this official’s pain and realize the true Dharma, not why not eat minced meat.”

    “No, no …….” Jingshi shook his head as if he was convincing himself not to try, “If I collect the Vajra Undefeated, I will lose.”

    “The four great things of a monk are all empty, yet the master is so obsessed with victory and defeat that he has already fallen short.” Xu Qi’an followed the advice:

    “Losing a dharma fight, but the master sees a wider sky and experiences the true dharma, which is more important, the master can decide for himself.”

    Gurus have all the four great things, they shouldn’t be obsessed with winning or losing ……. Why not eat meat mince, why not eat meat mince …….. Monk Jing Si’s expression gradually became complicated, revealing a tangled and struggling look as he slowly reached out his hand and gripped the long black and gold sword.

    The corner of Xu Qi’an’s mouth quirked.

    “So it is.” Chu Yuanjian said approvingly, “Jing Si has been practicing in the Buddhist sect since he was young, and perhaps his Buddhist teachings are profound, but he has a few less experiences that have been precipitated in the human world, and this is his crack. Xu Ningyan is indeed resourceful.”

    Pure Si is just like the gifted children of the world’s families, practicing in the clan since childhood, the strength is there, but the state of mind is not complete, lack of experience and precipitation.

    “Amitabha Buddha.” Hengyuan recited the Buddha’s name, frustrated inwardly.

    He thought of his own single-handedly brought up senior brother Heng Hui, also an extremely talented Buddhist disciple, but lacked worldly experience and moved his mortal heart, so that it led to a great disaster.

    Beautifully done! The civil officials’ eyes lit up and secretly applauded.

    Attacking the city as the bottom, attacking the heart as the top, this step alludes to the art of war, wonderful.

    Compared to fighting and killing, this operation of Xu Qi’an breaking the Vajra Formation was more agreeable to the civil officials.

    I can’t help but see that thought again: it’s a pity that this son doesn’t read!

    Instinctively, the next thought that surfaced was that Xu Pingzhi was not a proper son.

    Chief Minister Wang secretly nodded his head, Xu Qi’an’s maneuver gave him a sense of enlightenment, a response he had not thought of before.

    When the tax silver case, he did not know Xu Qi’an this number of people, really concerned about him, is in the Sang Po case after. He suddenly realized that the future of this son is unlimited.

    It is a pity that it is Wei Yuan’s person, and in the future, it can only be an enemy, not an ally.

    When that was the case, along with the chanting of the Buddha’s name, a voice echoed in the sky, “Jingshi, you are in phase.”

    While these words resounded in the ears of the crowd, they also traveled into the scroll and resounded in the ears of Monk Jingshi.

    The handsome young monk, as if in the middle of a dream, retracted his hand as if electrocuted, and hastily folded his hands together, chanting the Buddha’s name without stopping.

    Gradually, the eyes regained their clarity.

    “Asshole!”

    Chief Minister Wang slammed his cup and rose up, enraged, “Duo Yu Luohan, can’t the Buddhist Sect afford to lose?”

    Behind Wei Yuan, the nine golden gongs rose at the same time and pressed the hilts of their swords.

    Monk Pure Dust said indifferently, “Supervisors can help each other secretly, why can’t the Buddhist Sect?”

    He was biting into the fact that Xu Qi’an’s slash just now was the Supervisor’s secret assistance, or, in advance, he had planted the appropriate means in his body.

    Chief Minister Wang sneered, “Is it you, the Buddhist Sect, who dictates the reasoning of this world? If you say that the Supervisor is out to help, the Supervisor is out to help.”

    The dignitaries showed angry faces and were generally quite restrained, the people on the sidelines and the unruly jianghu people didn’t care so much, cursing angrily, and even appearing to charge the forbidden army.

    “Shameless vultures, this is clearly cheating, we don’t care, the Vajra Formation has been broken.”

    “The Hall Buddhist Sect is so shameless, if the Buddhist Sect wins today’s fight, we won’t recognize it.”

    “………..”

    Master Du Yu turned a deaf ear to Shocking Sky’s tirade, glanced at Pure Dust, and faintly said, “And how are you not obsessed.”

    “Disciple knows the offense.” Pure Dust bowed his head.

    ………….

    The monk outside the field can hear the conversation between me and Jing Si ……… can still be like this? Fighting that is, there is a cultural fight and a martial arts fight, each according to their own abilities, and the forced intervention outside the field, this is also too much ……… Xu Qi an heart secretly annoyed.

    He immediately stopped talking and exhaled on his knees.

    A quarter of an hour later, Xu Qi’an opened his eyes and retrieved the black and gold longsword, taking it back into its sheath.

    Pressing down on the hilt of his blade, Xu Qi’an said in a loud voice, “I’m only going to make one cut, and when this cut passes, life and death will be at your own risk.”

    The sound traveled through the scroll and outside.

    Only one cut?

    Regardless of whether one was an amateur or an insider, whether one was a commoner or an aristocrat, they all found it unbelievable when they heard this.

    Is it a gas?

    Xu Qi’an precipitated all his emotions and collected all his qi, the breath in his body collapsing inward, his dantian resembling a black hole, this was the essential process of storing up power for the Heaven and Earth One-Sword Slash.

    Since you cheat, don t blame me for opening ……… his eyes, his spiritual power collapsed and retracted in synchronization, and hooked into a huge qi and blood power in his body.

    That’s the essence blood of Monk Shinshu.

    On the way back to the capital from Yunzhou, Xu Qi’an absorbed the drop of essence blood and resurrected himself from the dead by virtue of the immortal martial artist essence blood, but part of the power was still deposited within him.

    When Xu Qi’an saw Duo’er Luohan letting Jingsi enter the formation, he immediately realized that he could not bypass this “vajra” no matter what, and with the secret realm of the Buddha’s secret realm to enhance the invincibility of the vajra, with Xu Qi’an’s strength it was impossible to cut through it no matter what.

    At that time, he hid in the Si Tian Jian and communicated with Monk Shen Shu, the Si Tian Jian was the land of the warlocks, so he didn’t have to worry about being detected by the Du Du Luohan.

    The advice given by Monk Shenshu was to mobilize the essence blood in his body and vent this residual indigestible power.

    This power does not reveal the existence of the monk Shenshu, in order to allow Xu Qi’an to absorb the indestructible essence of the blood, the monk Shenshu has long since worn off its “attributes”.

    It is now, essentially, just the essence of Wulf coalesced.

    The power that had settled in his body revived, and it transformed into Xu Qi’an’s limbs and bones, turning into pure qi.

    There was no wind in the Buddha realm, but Xu Qi’an’s robes were not inspired by the wind, and he still had his eyes closed, just like a sleeping overlord, awakening little by little.

    This heaven and earth would tremble and quake for his revival.

    “What’s going on, am I blind, why does it feel like the world is trembling?”

    “It’s Foothill, Foothill is shaking, it’s Foothill is shaking ………”

    Outside the arena, someone suddenly shouted in alarm, “It’s Xu Qi’an, he’s going to draw his sword.”

    No one was blind and could see that it was Xu Qi’an who had caused the shaking of Foshan.

    “Amitabha!”

    Jingshi’s hand cupped the Dharma symbol and loomed large, but the clouds within the Buddha’s territory moved, showering down a fine golden light that merged into the golden body.

    Thus, the golden body became more and more radiant and dense, blossoming with ten thousand rays of light, like a rising sun.

    Chambers!

    Huaiqing rose with a start, stepping out of the pergola to look up, her eyes welcoming the brilliant golden light as she stared dead on, holding her breath.

    More people stood up and walked out of the pergola, they looked up and stared, forgetting to even breathe.

    This includes the King’s Chief Minister.

    Wei Yuan slowly got up, paced outside the pergola, and leisurely said, “The roc rises with the wind in one day, rocking up to 90,000 miles.”

    Was this also expected of you, Wei Gong! The Golden Gongs looked at his back.

    Clang!

    The sound of the sword being drawn was like thunder, resounding through the heavens and earth.

    There is no other knife in the world so much in the limelight, touching the hearts of countless people.

    There is no other knife in the world that is so resolute, as if it is going to cut through everything and would rather be broken.

    And there certainly isn’t a knife in the world that’s so fast that the naked eye can’t catch it.

    However, the eyes of the crowd outside the arena clearly saw that golden body shatter, saw the layers of golden light like a mist being blown away, it was the unrivaled blade intent that drove away the golden light.

    This vajra that had been undefeated for half a decade outside the southern city, the golden body that had been haunted by the people of the city for five days, was finally, defeated.

    On the field, Xu Qi’an stood proudly.

    Jyoshi fell into a sitting position, the slash marks on his chest and abdomen were into his bones, and broken organs were visible; his face was so pale that he couldn’t maintain his meditation position anymore.

    A fine golden light reunited and converged into his wounds, repairing the flesh and blood.

    “I told you, I’ll only make one cut!” Xu Qi’an said indifferently.

    At this moment, ten thousand people in the capital lost their voices.

    There was a silence for about four or five seconds, and then, abruptly, the sound wave came.

    Some screamed, some cheered, and some even burst into tears, sweeping away days of pent-up frustration.

    “My Dafeng is the rightful ruler of the Nine States, and I am the best in the world in terms of civilization and martial arts!” A scholar hissed and shouted.

    “Xu Shikui’s martial arts are supreme, number one in the world.”

    At this time, the crowd recalled the words that came out of the secret realm just now: I will only make one cut!

    Until this moment, they didn’t understand the confidence and bravado in those words.

    Emperor Yuan Jing, who stood at the top of the Stargazer Building, faced the waves of sound straight on, and also saw the fervent blood of his people, who were in an agitated group.

    “Vajra formation, broken.”

    The old emperor revealed a heartfelt smile, “Supervisor Zheng, you really are sure of yourself, good, very good, Xu Qi’an is also very good, it’s not a waste of the court’s cultivation.”

    “Heroes since the dawn of time …….”

    Ms. Wang heard her father murmur in a low voice.

    Indeed, it is a remarkable hero ……. Miss Wang said in her heart, she swept her gaze around and saw many acquaintances of the great ladies, looking at the steps of Foshan, the proudly standing young man, with infatuated eyes.

    There were actually some charming noblewomen among them, and their gazes were aggressive and burning, staring at the youth without blinking.

    Even the Scholar of the Year is not as glamorous as him. Ms. Wang added in her mind.

    Thump, thump, thump ……. Framed heard the beating of his own heartbeat, as intense as it had ever been in more than twenty years.

    Looking at her big brother, who had a boundless scenery, Xu Lingyue was a bit smitten.

    Auntie “tsk”, “Master ah, after this fight, our family’s threshold will be trampled by the matchmakers, right ……..? Master?”

    Xu Pingzhi’s eyes were filled with tears and relief.

    Big brother is getting stronger and stronger, he is brave and refined in martial arts, and I can t lag behind too much ……… Xu New Year quietly clenched his fists.

    Even when King Huai was young, he was not as glorious as him ……. The old aunt thought to herself.

    “Master recuperate well.”

    Xu Qi’an sheathed his sword and continued to climb the mountain.

    Shuttling through the cloudy mountains and forests, after walking for a quarter of an hour, the front opened up, jagged rocks, sparse grass and trees, there was a huge Bodhi tree, under which an old monk was sitting on a plate.

    Xu Qi’an knew that this was the third level.

    And by now, he had almost reached the top of the mountain.

    Through this level, there should be another level at the top of the mountain, and it is also the last level …….. Xu Qi’an folded his hands, “Master, this level, what are we comparing?”

    The old monk recited the Buddha’s name and leisurely said, “The almsgiver’s heart is not still.”

    The moment you open your mouth, you are an old Zen master now ……… Xu Qi An spat in his heart and asked in return, “Why do you want to be quiet?”

    “When the mind is quiet, there is the Dharma; when there is the Dharma, there is the Buddha; when there is the Buddha, one can transcend the sea of suffering.” The old monk replied.

    “Why do you want to transcend the Sea of Bitterness?” Xu Qi’an asked again.

    “Why not transcend?” The old monk also asked rhetorically.

    “Why transcend.” Xu Qi’an raised the bar.

    “Why not transcend.” The old monk said leisurely.

    …………

    “What are they talking about?”

    “Talking Zen, that’s unintelligible.”

    “You hear me? Then tell me.”

    “Nonsense, if I could understand it, I’d be a high monk. But it’s because I can’t understand it that it contains a mystery.”

    “So it is.”

    The people outside mingled and reacted differently, some with furrowed brows, chewing on their conversation word by word, trying to realize the Zen truth from it.

    Some nodded slightly, or shook their heads in an enlightened manner.

    Then, everyone, from the royal family to the commoners, heard Xu Qi’an say:

    “Master, let’s talk human, I just made it all up.”

    ………..

    PS: The filly has gone up a bit too much !!!! I’ve been laughed at by several authors.

    Thanks to “Orchid and Flower” for the alliance reward.

    Two chapters tops, and this storyline is done, as in relieved, oh, not yet, still have to keep the liver going.

    Just one big chapter today, as I said at the end of the single chapter this morning.
