Chapter 298 – Luo Yu Heng’s Shock

On the top floor of the Stargazer Building, Supervisor Zheng left the Bagua Terrace at some point, his gaze sharply fixed on the carving knife in Xu Qi’an’s hand.

You also chose him?…….. At this moment, this sitting in the capital city for five hundred years, the “God” in the hearts of the people of Dafeng, murmured in his heart.

“Hahaha …….”

Emperor Yuan Jing looked up to the sky, put his hands behind his back, and stood in the first tallest building of the Great Feng, listening to the jubilation of his people, which was the victory of the Great Feng, and also his victory.

Buddhism, this time, at his feet.

“What a not kneeling,” Emperor Yuan Jing lamented, “How many years has it been, how many years has it been since the capital city has seen a young genius of this caliber.”

“Ahhhhhhh …….”

Mounted erupted into a piercing scream, stomping his feet in excitement, “Won, Huaiqing, the dog slave has won, he’s my man, he’s my man.”

Huaiqing looked at the unconscious Xu Qi’an, and there seemed to be infatuation in his surging eyes.

She is an extremely colorful woman, noble and proud, even if she is a scholar, in Huaiqing’s opinion, it is still okay. There are countless handsome men in the capital, and the only one who can really make Princess Huaiqing admire is Wei Yuan.

Dean Zhao Shou was an elder worthy of respect, but not enough for her to admire.

At this moment, Huaiqing recalled Xu Qi’an’s various deeds, the tax silver case fledgling, secretly designed to frame the son of the Minister of the Ministry of household, Zhou Li, to completely eliminate the hidden danger.

He then joined the night watchman, knifed the silver gong, was imprisoned, and was ordered to investigate the Sangpo case in the face of danger ………. Almost independently completed the investigation of the Yunzhou case, and then died in battle among the 400 rebels and returned to the capital …….. Ordered to investigate the case of Princess Fu.

During this period, every now and then, a heirloom masterpiece was released, which encouraged the Dafeng Rulin.

And then now, in place of the Divine Constabulary, he fought with the Buddhists, and twice made the sword, hardening the confidence of the people of the capital.

In one sermon, the old monk under the Bodhi Tree was enlightened, and the second-ranking Lohan was enlightened to the Mahayana Dharma.

Then, the clear light came from beyond the heavens, and with one blow he collapsed the Dharma phase and destroyed the Lohan Dharma treasure.

Princess Huaiqing had never seen such a colorful man, ever.

The women s families cheered, and the civil and military officials laughed …….. Amidst the explosion of cheers, Xu Pingzhi sat paralyzed in his chair, as if he had been drained of his strength.

So close that the handle he had brought up single-handedly was snatched away by the Buddhist sect.

Amidst the boiling cheers of the people of the capital, as well as the fervent shouts, the rightful owner, Xu Qi’an, was instead left unattended, and Xu Erlang silently walked over and carried his elder brother.

After all, I am the one who has resisted all …….. Xu Erlang thought to himself.

He carried Xu Qi’an on his back towards a group of night watchmen, his eyes glancing at the carving knife Xu Qi’an held tightly in his hand.

What is this, what appears to be a carving knife?

Look at the shape, it seems to be the ancient readers use the “pen”, then there is no paper, the text is contained in bamboo slips, readers holding a carving knife, in the bamboo slips to write down the talent of the sky and the earth.

Where is the carving knife …….. Waiting for no one to pay attention, sneak away from big brother here! Xu Erlang is a little greedy, this kind of antique is very tempting to readers.

Duo Er Luohan lost his soul and stood in place, not distressed by the loss of the golden mantle of the magic weapon, he was remorseful that such a natural wisdom root of the Buddha’s son, did not convert to the Buddha’s door.

“Master Uncle …….”

Monk Pure Dust looked at Xu Erlang’s back, looked at Xu Qi’an on his shoulder, and said in a deep voice, “Scholar Xu is a genius bestowed upon the Buddhist Sect by the heavens, the pioneer of Mahayana Buddhism, Senior Uncle Ancestor must bring him back to the Western Region.”

Duo Er Luo Han pondered for a long time and let out a long sigh, “That’s just it, destiny has not yet arrived.”

Monk Pure Dust was unwilling, he seemed to have thought of something, looked back at the Stargazer Building, opened his mouth, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

…………….

The fight between the Buddhist Sect and the Divine Constabulary was over, but the aftermath of this wonderful event was still going on.

In a certain restaurant, a middle-aged man in a tattered blue shirt, carrying an empty wine jug, crossed the threshold and entered the first floor hall, going straight to the counter.

“Boss, I heard that if I talk to you about the fight, you’ll give a free pot of wine?”

The shopkeeper with the goatee smiled and nodded, “You can also drink while you talk, and the store will give you another plate of peanut rice.”

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, he had wanted to take the wine home to drink, but the shopkeeper gave too much, and said, “Okay, then we’ll drink it here, quick, get the peanut rice.”

The shopkeeper beckoned and summoned the second man to serve the middle-aged man in the tattered blue shirt a jug of wine and a plate of peanuts and rice.

The blue-shirted middle-aged man took a sip of wine and picked up two more peanuts and threw them into his mouth, slowly saying:

“The Buddhist monk threw the golden bowl to the ground, suddenly the wind and clouds change color, thunder intertwined, the sky illuminated a Buddhist realm. Inside this Buddha realm ah, there are four passes, the first pass is called the eight bitter array, this array is not bad, it is said to be the Buddhist monks to sharpen the heart of the Buddha used …….

“This second level, it’s called the Vajra Formation, Boss, do you know who the sitting Vajra is?”

The middle-aged man looked disdainfully at the shopkeeper.

“It’s not just that little monk in the south city.” The store assistant snorted.

“That’s right, isn’t it just a little monk.” The drinkers at the side table concurred.

“You all know ah …….” The blue-shirted middle-aged man froze.

“It’s still not for us Xu Yinluo to chop up with a knife, what King Kong Undefeated, all paper tigers, yuck.” The wine drinker who spoke had the look of a proud member of the capital city.

Putting aside a day ago, mentioning the little monk of Jingshi, they were gnashing their teeth, “The Da Feng is full of experts, can’t they even solve a little monk?”

Incompetent rage.

But now, at the mention of that little Vajra monk, even the people of the city proudly straightened their chests and snorted disdainfully: nothing more than that.

This was all the face that Xu Qi’an had fought back, little by little, and the confidence that he had rebuilt in the course of the fight.

The blue-shirted middle-aged man looked at the shopkeeper in consternation, “You already knew about it, so why did you still set this rule?”

“Different people, see different things, checking for flaws.” The shopkeeper smiled and said, “Today I guarded the restaurant, did not go to see the fight, life a big regret ah.

“It can only be savored over and over again afterward, and with a little wine, it goes from being a regret to a pleasure.”

The blue-shirted middle-aged man nodded and continued, “………. That Xu Yinluo came out with a one-step poem ……..”

“Wait.” The shopkeeper suddenly shouted a halt and said, “The sky is the shore at the end of the sea, and I am the peak of the martial arts path? Do you confirm that there is this verse, several people have spoken to me about this part before, but none of them have said it.”

The blue-shirted middle-aged man nodded his head vigorously, “Yes, there’s this line, I’ve been reading for more than ten years ago, a few lines of poetry will not be able to remember?”

“Hiss ……. That’s strange.” The shopkeeper frowned.

At this time, a jianghu person “cough”, whispered: “Boss, with you say these, are some jianghu chivalrous, right.”

The shopkeeper asked rhetorically, “Problem?”

“Hey!” The jianghu man waved his hand, “It doesn’t matter to you ordinary people, you can say what you want, but as a martial arts practitioner, who dares to say such things in front of a large audience? Either you’re looking for death, or you’re looking for a beating.”

The shopkeeper suddenly realized, the martial arts man is brave and ruthless, the most can not see someone arrogant, often because the other side said a few words are not appropriate, then pull out the sword. This kind of thing even in the strict rules of the capital also happens from time to time.

“Another good poem collected, this is a poem by Xu Shikui. Quickly, quickly prepare paper and pen for me.” The shopkeeper got excited and ordered the junior.

…………

Hanlin Academy.

The Hanlin Academy was under the Cabinet and was responsible for repairing books and writing history, drafting imperial edicts, reading for members of the royal family, and serving as examiners for the imperial examinations.

Three of the most puritanical positions in the dynasty, the imperial historian of the Du Ch’ao Yuan, the six sections of the Gouji Zhong, and the Hanlin Academy.

In terms of status, the Hanlin Academy is in the first place, because the Hanlin Academy also has a name: the training base of the Reserve Minister.

Dafeng successive chief ministers, are out of the Hanlin Academy, in other words, only the Hanlin Academy in the noble, can enter the cabinet, become a university scholar, and even the official worship of the chief minister.

The only exception is that a nobleman or prince can directly cross the Hanlin Academy and enter the Cabinet to hold the power of the prime minister.

However, civil officials can not do so, civil officials want to enter the cabinet, must enter the Hanlin Academy. And the Hanlin Academy, only the first and second A scholar can enter.

At this moment, the eunuchs on duty in Emperor Yuan Jing’s chambers were standing in the hall of the Hanlin Academy berating the Qinggui.

“Wasn’t the victory in this fight the result of His Majesty’s meritocracy? Is not the court to cultivate Xu Yinluo merit? Look at what you write, one by one, all of them are from the first grade, let you write history will not.”

The eunuch threw the book to the ground, “Rewrite it.”

The faces of the Qing nobles present changed, this is their return to the Hanlin Academy, not even eat, with a sense of intention, waving ink to write.

Today this fight, will be in the history books, passed down to future generations, this is no doubt. But how to write, the inside is very delicate.

Any such event that promotes the country’s prestige must be positively recorded in the history books, symbolizing honor and glory.

The powers that be, namely Emperor Yuan Jing, wanted to rub it in.

Of course, other emperors would have made the same choice as Emperor Yuan Jing when they encountered such an opportunity.

A young editorial scholar said in a deep voice, “The people were chosen by the Supervisor Zheng, and the fights were put forth by Xu Yinluo, so what does this have to do with His Majesty? As editors of the Hanlin Academy, we are not only writing history for the court, but also for future generations.”

The eunuch laughed coldly and said in a conspiratorial manner: ”It is His Majesty’s gift for several of you to be in the Hanlin Academy, and it is only a matter of time before you join the Cabinet in the future; the sun and the moon shine, and there is a bright future ahead of you.

“If you upset His Majesty and assign them to the outside, tsk, this great future, not to mention the sun and moon, even the stars are gone.

“His Majesty’s intention is to keep the length unchanged, and to write in detail about the fight, as well as the process of His Majesty’s selection of the virtuous, and as for Xu Yinluo’s song of praise, he is young after all, and there will be plenty of opportunities for him in the future.

“My lords, do you understand.”

The young editor grabbed the ink stone and smashed it over, smashing it on the eunuch’s chest, the ink stained the python robe black, and the eunuch muffled a sound and retreated back and forth.

“You dare to hit us?” The eunuch was furious.

“It is you who are fighting.” That editor pointed at the eunuch and scolded, “This time, when the Western Regions’ mission entered the capital, there was first a Vajra sitting in a ring in the South City and a Venerable Master preaching in the North City; later, a Dharma phase descended to the world and questioned the Supervisor of Justice.

“And then Si Tian Jian and Buddhist fighting, Xu Shikui power to save the day, thwarted the Buddha’s sharpness, if not for him, the court this time will be disgraced, why can not sing the praises, why to reduce the ink. Young hero, this official heart admiration, if he is a scholar, I will worship him as a teacher.

“Get the hell out of this official’s house, the Hanlin Academy is no place for a castrated dog like you to run wild.”

“Get out.” The other Qinggui grabbed what he could around him and smashed it over with a brain, pen, ink, paper, ink stone, book and pen holder …..

The eunuch fled in distress and left the Hanlin Academy.

Lingbao Guan.

The woman in the gorgeous palace dress, with her skirt dragging on the ground and precious jewelry on her head, came to the inner courtyard, with a dignified demeanor and a gentle voice, and commanded:

“The two of you should go down first, I have something to say to the State Master.”

The two maids accompanying her exit the courtyard.

The woman was instantly lively, carrying her skirt and trotting into the quiet room, yelling, “State Master, how come I didn’t see you during today’s fight, did you see today’s fight.”

In the quiet room, Luo Yu Heng, who wore a basalt-colored Taoist robe and a lotus flower crown, with his hair neatly combed, revealing a polished forehead and an attractive face, sat cross-legged on a futon, looking at the woman who had intruded in with a big grin, and said indifferently:

“Not interested.”

“Then you’re missing out on a good show.”

The veiled woman came to the case and sat down, saying, “Today s fight can be wonderful, more interesting than the troupe singing, I will talk to you ……….”

She chattered and told Luo Yu Heng the process of the fight in graphic detail.

“You said that he broke the Eight Bitterness Formation with a single slash?” Luo Yu Heng frowned.

“Yeah, it’s awesome, what’s up.” The veiled woman asked.

It is the Supervisor who is helping him and has also mobilized the power of beings for him ………. Luo Yu Heng pondered for a moment and said, “You continue.”

The masked veil woman then tells her about Xu Qi An’s slashing through the Vajra Formation, Luo Yu Heng does not take a stand, and when she hears about speaking Buddhism with the old monks and having the Duo Er Luohan have an epiphany, the woman sighs with emotion:

“I still don’t understand what’s so great about Mahayana Buddhism, but it sounds so powerful.”

Mahayana Buddhism …….. He is actually so enlightened? Shock flashed through Luo Yu Heng’s beautiful eyes.

“These are nothing, the most exciting is the fourth level …….. At that time, the golden body phantom appeared and forced that denizen to kneel, and that’s when the most interesting scene appeared …….”

The veiled woman’s eyes lit up as she poured herself tons and tons of tea.

Luo Yu Heng laughed, “Drink slowly, Nan Jasmine ah, have you discovered one thing.”

“What is it.”

“When you used to come to my Guanli, you always yelled that you were bored and wanted to go out and play. But now, you don’t talk about being bored anymore, and instead of that, in the things you talk about with me, you bring up Xu Qi’an in three words.”

The veiled woman froze, she stared at Luo Yu Heng for a moment, collected her lively temperament and became a reserved and dignified noblewoman again, with a faint detachment and a calm tone, “What do you mean.”

Luo Yu Heng smiled and shook her head, “Just to remind you that you have a husband. Your husband is King Huai, a third grade martial artist. He guards the border and is not in the capital.

“But the capital has many of his minders and ears, you must not get too involved with that Xu Qi’an, or you will be harming him.”

The veiled woman snorted, her tone proud, “How could I possibly be involved with a denizen who spends his days in and out of the Church Department, are you burying me?”

“That’s good,” Luo Yu Heng nodded, “Actually, if you don’t say it, I know what happened back there, it’s nothing more than the Dharma Phase shattering for no reason, or, perhaps, the Supervisor Zheng made a move?”

Appropriately, she had sensed a force of beings swelling up, following which everything calmed down.

Either the Supervisor is secretly helping, or he is striking out brightly.

After all, in the capital, Emperor Yuan Jing’s chi is insufficient, and his cultivation is weak, the only one who can mobilize the power of all beings is a magician, and the first rank of a magician is a supervisor!

“No.”

The veiled woman shook her head, her tone cold.

This petty woman, not moving to put on a face ……… Luo Yuheng laughed, holding a cup of tea, asked, “Not?”

“It was a clear light that descended from the sky, breaking the Golden Body Dharma and the Buddha Realm.” She whispered:

“I was close enough to see that it was a carving knife.”

Carving knife?

As if there was a thunderbolt in her ears, Luo Yu Heng’s hand shook, the warm tea splashed out, and her beautiful face abruptly froze.

It is not the Supervisor ……… Supervisor who cannot dominate the Confucian carving knife ……….. Luo Yuheng said in a deep voice, “Carving Knife, where is the Carving Knife, what happened behind it, tell me carefully.”

Her tone was filled with urgency, as well as a hint of undisguised excitement, and the veiled woman, who had never seen Luo Yu Heng have such rich emotional fluctuations, asked strangely, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Speak up!” Luo Yu Heng leaned forward and actually drank it out.

“……… It’s the carving knife that breaks the dharma ah.”

“Did the carving knife vanish after breaking the dharma phase, or did it stay at the scene? Xu …….. Xu Qi’an did he touch the carving knife?” Luo Yu Heng stared at her with burning eyes, as if this was important.

“Yes, he stabbed through the temple’s dharma.” The woman raised her right arm and made a gesture of “stabbing” forward.

Luo Yu Heng froze.
