Chapter 711 Trial (5400)

The cries for help, like a stone thrown into a well, sent ripples through the calm waters.

The heart of the doom is the water of the well.

He stopped, slowly, and turned back a little bit, looking behind him to Guangxian Bodhisattva, to the bodhi tree.

Bodhisattva Guang Xian narrowed his eyes and smiled:

“What else?”

Guangxian Bodhisattva will answer questions and will not hide or lie, why not take the opportunity to be frank with him now and ask the Buddha what is going on, he must know something ………. This thought flashed through the mind of Duyi Luohan.

Then it was no longer difficult to curb his thirst for the truth, and he folded his hands and recited the Buddha’s name, while staring at Bodhisattva Guangxian, saying:

“Since Bodhisattva Jarashu was adamant that he would not accept Mahayana Buddhism, we had no choice but to consult the Buddha, and it just so happened that Bodhisattva Jarashu was not in Aranta ………”

Doe stopped modestly and did not continue.

Bodhisattva Guangxian stared at him for a few seconds, his face slightly eased, and he said without any hesitation:

“This is a critical time for the Buddhist Sect’s thousand-year plan, and all of Aramantha should be united as one.”

The Duo Lohan folded his arms and bowed his head:

“Amitabha Buddha, it was this seat that moved to anger.”

After saying that, he turned to leave, his steps slow and the hem of his robe fluttering as he traveled towards the outside of the Zen forest.

Bodhisattva Guangxian withdrew his gaze to the stones scattered on the ground, paused for a few seconds, and then looked at the gnarled and thick Bodhi tree.

………..

Duo Er Luo Han walked out of the Zen forest with steady steps and came to the edge of the cliff, the cold wind whistled, blowing his robe shaking violently, also as if it froze his soul.

As a mature Rohan, he had long been in a clear state of mind and would not be swayed by emotions such as joy, anger, sadness or happiness, and curiosity certainly could not make him lose his mind.

Tuo Er Luo Han stepped out and his body turned into golden light to vanish.

In the next moment, he appeared on a pool of water bubbling with cold air, sitting on a lotus platform.

“Amitabha ……..”

Duo Er put his hands together and recited the Buddha’s name in a low voice, and immediately afterward, the surface of his body lit up with a faint golden light.

He went into a sitting meditation.

Buddhist meditation can repel all external evils and also calm the mind in an instant.

After half a pillar of incense time, Du Er opened his eyes and took the initiative to detach himself from the state of sitting meditation, his gaze was calm, his face was indifferent, and there was no more abnormality.

At that moment, the sound of steady footsteps, came from beyond the path, and Asuro’s tall, lanky figure, through the greenery, appeared at the edge of the waterhole.

Eyes locked, both of them did not say anything, DuoYue fished out a golden bowl from his sleeve and gently inverted it in front of his body.

In a flash, the water pool was enveloped by a barrier shaped like an inverted bowl.

It was then that Asuro opened his mouth and spoke in a deep voice:

“I heard breathing in the Devil’s Stream, and I wanted to try to get closer, but a martial artist’s premonition of a crisis didn’t signal an alarm.

“It was so counterintuitive that it backed off.”

As the first person under the Bodhisattva’s battle power, Asura is certainly not a brainless reckless person, today’s preliminary test, point to point.

After all, this matter involved a superpin, how terrifying a superpin was, Asuro didn’t know, but he was incomparably clear that in front of a superpin, he was afraid that he was only a little bit stronger than a mole cricket.

When he had finished, Duo said in a slow tone:

“Deep in the Zen forest, under the Bodhi tree, there was indeed a sculpture of the Confucian saint, but it has long since collapsed.”

Asuro recalled the words Xu Qi’an had analyzed, if the sculpture was there, then the Buddha was still in a half-sealed state, and the one who had pushed for the Koshi Swinging Demon that year to seal Shenshu had been another mysterious superpin.

If the sculpture shattered, it would mean that the Buddha had broken free of the Ru Sheng seal with the help of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom’s fortune, but because he needed to seal the Divine Distinction, he chose to fall asleep.

“That would be the second possibility, Buddha and Shenshu are the same person, Buddha has long since gotten out of the trap, perhaps, the one in the Devil Suppressing Stream is him.” Asura’s tone was calm, not surprised.

After all, Xu Qi’an had analyzed the situation clearly that day, and whichever it was, Asuro was fully prepared.

At that moment, Duoyue Luohan gently shook his head:

“Before I had a chance to check it out, Guangxian Bodhisattva arrived. As I turned to leave, I heard a cry for help from behind me.”

Asuro’s eyebrow-less, protruding brow bones moved viciously, aggravating his tone:

“A cry for help?”

Duo Luohan nodded.

In this way, Xu Qi’an’s second possibility seemed less reliable.

The two spiraled into silence, a chill rising up their spines.

After a while, Asuro said in a slow voice:

“Guangxian has a problem.”

Duo Yu Luohan nodded, “He watched the Zen forest very closely, and by analogy, the Bodhisattvas most likely have problems. At least, the Bodhisattvas know some hidden secrets, such as the matter of the Confucian Sage sealing the Buddha.”

Now that it had been confirmed that what Xu Qi’an had said was true, then the Bodhisattvas must have known about this matter but chose to conceal it, even he, who was a second-ranked Lohan, did not know about it.

Asuro looked at the pool of water and pondered:

“Figuring out who it is that’s asking for help and who’s sleeping will unlock the truth. But it’s too dangerous for us.”

Duo’s eyes flickered for a moment as he said:

“You mean ………”

Asuro confessed:

“We can utilize the Southern Demon, and if the Nine-tailed Skyfox wants to protest against the Buddhist Sect’s division, it will definitely come to reclaim Shenshu’s head. At that time, that’s our chance.”

Under normal circumstances, with Guangxian sitting in Alanta, it would be impossible for them to find out the situation.

Duo sighed:

“I can’t make any more moves in recent days; Guangxian Bodhisattva is most likely already suspicious of me.”

………..

Qingzhou.

In the military tent, Xu Pingfeng saw the figures of the two Bodhisattvas, Guangxian and Liuli, disappear, and the Bodhisattva of the Garuda Tree put away his golden bowl.

He lifted his cup and gulped, savoring the slightly astringent taste of the local tea.

“The Southern Demon’s restoration is truly a great event that will go down in history.”

A white coat like snow, his tone was gentle, like chatting with an old friend, “Why didn’t Bodhisattva Guangxian not personally go to the Southern Border, although it was a good thing to prevent the Nine-Tailed Fox from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack Alanta.”

He put down his teacup and said:

“Just ask me for a few teleportation spells beforehand, why don’t you use them when you clearly have the means to deal with it? Did Guangxian leave Alanta?”

Garuda Tree Bodhisattva sat with folded arms and closed his eyes.

Xu Pingfeng sighed softly and whispered:

“You did do a great thing that will remain in history, but well, the king is defeated, how the history books finally write, but also to see what the attitude of the later.

“If you have too good a reputation, won’t you look like your father has sinned too much?”

…………

Yunlu Shuyuan.

Dean Zhao Shou stood on the edge of the cliff, looking out to the south with his hands in the air, and slowly said:

“In the winter of the first year of Yongxing, the Southern Demon resurfaced, united An, drove out the Buddhist sect, and rebuilt the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.”

Behind a table appeared out of thin air, paper spread out, the brush itself jumped into the ink stone, dipped in ink, on the paper “brush” write down.

The ink dried instantly.

“One for each person!” Zhao Shou waved his hand, and the paper and tabletop disappeared into thin air.

In the academy, the sound of reading was loud, and in one schoolroom, one teacher, one student, received Zhao Shou’s ink treasure at the same time.

The voice of Zhao Shou echoed in synchronization in his ears:

“Using the contents of the paper as a topic, each person will write a curricular essay, which the students will submit to their respective teachers for review, and the teachers will submit to me for review.”

What is the big thing actually let the dean personally out of the question, the examination of the whole college readers ……….. Regardless of whether the students or teachers, and shocked and surprised or pick up, or unfold the contents of the paper.

Fixing their eyes on the scene, one’s jaw dropped and they froze on the spot.

The Southern Demon has been restored, and the battle of the Swinging Demon, which was recorded in the history books, has been reversed in the present day.

The Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, which was annihilated in history, has returned to Kyushu.

At this moment, all the scholars and gentlemen, had a sense of unreality, a feeling of witnessing history with their own eyes.

At the same time, they also understood Dean Zhao Shou’s intention, because they who were familiar with history books had read the commentaries on the Buddhist Sect’s move after the destruction of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom five hundred years ago, as well as the analyses of the impact on the pattern of the continent of the Nine States and so on by the forefathers and sages.

For example, the Buddha’s act of swatting the demons in Koshi laid the foundation for the human race to rule the continent of Kyushu.

For example, after the Azi Demon Swing, the demon race lost their habitat and wandered around, repeatedly generating fierce conflicts with the human race over territory. This move by the Buddha Sect has victimized the common people.

Another example is ………

Now that the Southern Demon had been restored, it was easy to understand that Dean Zhao Shou had asked them to write an article evaluating the matter.

“The reappearance of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom shows that the Human Race has a long way to go if they want to unify the Nine States.” Someone half-thought and half-evaluated.

“The human race has never truly unified the nine states, and the northern demon barbarians have existed since ancient times. However, the Southern Demon’s establishment of a state at this time has slowed down the Buddhist Sect for Da Feng ………”

Because of the alliance between the Demon Race and the Dafeng, the readers of Yunlu Academy rarely discarded the “racial differences”, and felt a little bit of goodwill towards the Southern Demon.

“Wait, what is “UNAN” and why didn’t Dean annotate it.”

“I remember, well, the alliance between the Demon Race and the Great Bong was made possible by Xu Yinluo.”

The murmuring stopped a little, and the crowd of scholars looked at each other with a sudden realization in their hearts.

It was Xu Yinluo who helped the Southern Demons establish their country ………

“Got it!” A scholar lifted his pen and scribbled rapidly on the rice paper:

“Yongxing one year, winter, the buddhist sect tear up the covenant, turn to help the cloud state rebels, to the central plains into deep water and hot situation. Xu Yinluo went to the southern border, led the group of demons and the Buddha Sect to fight, expelled the Westerners from the 100,000 mountains, thus restraining the Buddha Sect and alleviating the Central Plains military disaster, a move of great significance ………”

Immediately quiet in the school, the students spread out the paper, writing, the teacher also sat on the ground, in front of the case to concentrate on writing.

………..

The King’s Mansion.

Lin An was in a good mood to walk with Wang Simu in the back garden, the two of them drank a bellyful of hot tea and ate pastries, wearing a thick cloak, not feeling the cold at all.

After walking for a moment, Wang Simu said with a smirk:

“Your Highness got what he wanted, but you don’t seem happy about it?”

Lin An knew what she was referring to, her eyes looked to the depressed flower garden on one side, and thought for a moment:

“Since I have gotten what I wanted, I am happy. It’s just the bestowal of the marriage ……….”

Of course she was happy, otherwise she wouldn’t have immediately agreed that day, her heart beating faster with joy.

But from the sensitive and delicate mind of a woman, the motive for the bestowal of the marriage was not what she wished.

The marriage bestowal she wanted was when Xu Qi’an asked the emperor’s brother for marriage, and the emperor’s brother gladly bestowed the marriage and married her into the Xu family.

Not out of interest.

What he wants is that Xu Qi’an wants to marry, not “forced”, not even half-push, because her feelings for Xu Qi’an is pure, unadulterated purpose, just as when he was a small gong, silver gong.

The fall in status didn’t affect her feelings.

However, after experiencing so many things, her unruly and capricious nature had long since tightened up a lot and grown up a lot.

Wang Simu laughed:

“To be able to marry the person of your choice is the greatest blessing, and there is no need to be overly concerned about the reason or purpose. Those who are overly concerned are just asking for trouble.

“My father said that the essence of politics is compromise. To be human, one must also compromise appropriately.”

“This Palace knows that it doesn’t need you to break up these axioms.” Lin An glared at her and added:

“However, the matter of the bestowal of the marriage may be unknown to him personally, and although Chien-ho Hsu has promised it, it is not yet known whether it will count or not.”

“Your Highness don’t worry, Xu Yinluo was raised by his second uncle and aunt since childhood, although not parents, but better than parents. Marriage is a matter of parents’ orders and matchmakers’ words. According to my understanding of the Xu family, Lord Xu’s promise is useful.”

Lin An’s heart was delighted, and she gave a reserved “hmm”.

At that moment, she heard Wang Simu sigh:

“You’re a princess, so no matter who you marry, you’ll always be in splendor, and you’ll be able to flaunt your honor. Only when you marry into the Xu family, I’m afraid this princess status won’t work.”

With Xu Qi’an’s status and cultivation today, the dignity of a princess in the district would definitely not be able to bind him.

It could be said without exaggeration that that stupid young sister of the Xu family could walk horizontally in the palace while the royal sons and daughters would not dare to mess with her.

Since this was the case, when Her Highness Lin An married into the House of Xu, as long as Xu Yinluo never separated from her uncles and aunts, then she would be subject to the suppression of the main mother of the Xu family.

Lin An was not stupid and heard Wang Simu’s strings:

“Simu might as well be blunt.”

Wang Simu whispered, “The Xu family’s main mother’s methods are extremely good, into the Xu family, don’t clash with her, just be a good little daughter-in-law. If you’re being made to endure the rules and difficulties, you should endure it.”

At those words, Lin An frowned slightly, his heart inexplicably heavy, surprised:

“How could it make you all so afraid?”

Wang Simu sighed:

“This bit of my Dao is still far worse than her. Have you seen Xu Lingyue?”

Lin An nodded as he recalled that day at Stargazer’s House, Xu Ling Yue, who had had a brief encounter:

“Well behaved, dainty and soft looking.”

Wang Simu sneered:

“That’s all pretend bluffing, that nymphet, is a devious tactic with an evil mind. By the way, she is extremely enamored with Xu Yinluo, her elder brother, if you marry into the Xu residence in the future, the first thing you should do is to join forces with me to marry her off, or else you will not be spared from suffering.”

Prosper was thoughtful.

Wang Simu continued:

“I’ve fought with her many times in secret, and I didn’t get any favors. To be able to teach such a daughter, how can the Xu family’s mother be a lightweight? Erlang is very talented, and it is said that it was also the Xu family’s main mother who whipped him into reading and writing from a young age.

“You must know that Uncle Xu is only a martial artist, and cannot teach a scholarly son like Erlang. What’s more, I’ve heard that when Xu Yinluo was young, he didn’t get along with his aunt, and she forced him to live in the neighboring house’s small courtyard, where he lived in poverty.”

Lin An was shocked, not realizing that Xu Qi An had such an unpleasant past.

She did understand Xu Qi’an, brash and unruly, defying everyone, from a small Changle County fast worker, to become a hero of the top today, no one can suppress him.

Such a character was actually driven to the small courtyard by the Xu family’s main mother when he was young.

Wang Simu said in a deep voice:

“Of course, at that time, Xu Yinluo was still in a position of power, and was living under someone else’s roof. However, Your Highness, after Xu Yinluo rose to prominence, he didn’t settle scores, but instead poured out his heart and soul to his aunt and her family.

“Now you know how powerful the Xu Family’s main mother is in managing people.”

Lin An was half abashed on the spot, stuttering with a scornful face:

“I-I don’t have anything to do with her, I’m not going to mess with her ………”

……… Wang Simu opened her mouth, in fact, she followed up and wanted to say, want to deal with the Xu family’s main mother, it is not difficult, as long as we join forces, you listen to my command ……..

But seeing that His Highness Lin An was so unhelpful, she could not say these words at once.

At the end of the walk, Lin An, who had gotten a satisfactory answer but was wary of the Xu family’s main mother, rode in the luxurious carriage full of worries, and returned to the palace amidst the sound of clattering wheels.

At this time close to lunch, she did not return to Shaoyin Palace, but went to her mother’s consort’s residence.

Chen Taifei set up a table full of delicacies, waiting for a pair of children to have lunch together, saw Lin An come in and nodded slightly.

The relationship between mother and daughter was a bit cold, and Crown Princess Chen sipped a mouthful of tea and faintly said:

“After His Majesty ascended the throne, he has become more and more unable to listen to Mother Consort’s words. I, a mother, can’t even sway my own daughter’s marriage.”

According to the rules, you would not have been able to sway my marriage ……… Lin An muttered in his heart and frowned:

“Mother consort is not satisfied with my marriage, find the emperor’s brother to make it clear, what to say to me.”

Crown Princess Chen snorted coldly:

“That’s not necessary, you girls have your heart set on him, mother consort knows that.”

Crown Princess Chen was just haunted by the case of Concubine Fu at the time, that boy did not care at all about Lin’an’s face and uncovered her plotting. She was demoted by the late emperor.

“I heard His Majesty say that he is not in Qingzhou, nor is he in the capital. Now that the Central Plains is in turmoil and the war in Qingzhou is raging, he is not contributing to the court, so what is he doing running around.”

Mrs. Chen complained.

I don t know if His Majesty married you to him, whether he can enlist the boy who killed that day ………. Tai Consort Chen muttered in her heart and did not say it in front of her daughter.

She still loved Advent.

Shattered, the table dishes are complete, mother and daughter waited for a while, did not wait for Yongxing Emperor.

Crown Princess Chen frowned and ordered:

“His Majesty has not yet come to dine, send someone to the Anjin Temple to let him know.”

The eunuch serving in the palace retired in response, and after a quarter of an hour, returned hurriedly, saying:

“His Majesty is deliberating with the princes, and the slave girl was unable to see His Majesty.”

Taffy Chen’s heart sank, “Do you know what it is?”

It was now a sensitive period of stormy times, and she was extremely concerned about political affairs.

The eunuch said:

“I heard from the eunuch of the Anshen Temple that just now the Supervisor sent the Si-Tian Supervisor Warlock to send a message to the palace that the southern qi is rushing to the Dou Niu, the qi is overturning, and the Southern Demon is reclaiming the 100,000 mountains and rebuilding the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.”

Ten Thousand Demon Country …….. Tai Consort Chen suddenly remembered the existence of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, and her charming face floated with joy:

“That’s the demon race that’s allied with the court?”

The eunuch nodded.

“Yes, yes ………”

Tai Concubine Chen smiled broadly, looked towards Lin An, and said, “A while ago, His Majesty also said that if that Southern Demon fails to make it, then the plan to hold the Buddhist Sect in check will be difficult to realize. The situation in the Central Plains is worrisome.”

Lin An smiled and chimed in, “Now it seems that the Emperor’s brother’s worries won’t be realized.”

Princess Chen was ecstatic:

“God bless the Daebong, God bless His Majesty.”

After waiting for another small half an hour, Emperor Yongxing came late, smiling and in an extremely good mood.

Already half full, Taffy Chen rose with a smile:

“Just warming up some wine and food for His Majesty.”

Immediately, he ordered the palace maid to bring up the wine and food.

Yongxing Emperor laughed:

“Today it is worth drinking a few cups, Linan ah, you also accompany me to drink a few cups.”

He patted his sister on the shoulder, and he acted as if he valued Prosperity.

Seeing this, Crown Princess Chen frowned slightly and tried:

“Your Majesty, I’ve heard that something has happened on the southern border?”

Emperor Yongxing laughed, “Speaking of which, Xu Yinluo deserves a great deal of credit for the Southern Demons being able to retake the 100,000 Mountains and hold the Buddhist Sect in check. If it wasn’t for him leading the way, it wouldn’t have been so easy for the Southern Demon to retake the Hundred Thousand Mountains.”

Advent’s eyes lit up.

It is him ah ……… Chen Tai Fei has a complicated mood, looked at the radiant daughter, and was a little embarrassed.

………..

Heavenly Sect.

Immortal mountains loomed, auspicious clouds enveloped them, and the sound of apes crying and cranes resounded melodiously.

The palace was heavy, hidden among the clouds and mountains, and from time to time, the sound of empty and melodious bells rang out from this paradise-like fairy palace.

Above the sea of clouds, a tall and divine beast poked its head down.

It looked down on the immortal mountain for a moment and stepped out of the sea of clouds.

Its body resembles that of a deer, covered with snow-white scales, with a pair of horns on its head, a horse’s hoof and a snake’s tail.

A pair of vertical pupils as blue as the sea.

………..
