In the guest hall, Xu Qi 'an sat on a chair, holding a cup of tea brewed by a maidservant. There was a cloth bag by his feet that was as high as his knees.
He sat quietly for a few minutes. His ears moved slightly, and he heard the sound of scales swaying. Then, he saw Chu Xianglong step over the threshold and enter.
"Thank you, General Chu and High Duke Cao, for your help."
Xu Qi 'an's words were insincere because he did not even get up. He took a sip of tea as he spoke.
Chu Xianglong did not care. He looked at him carefully, then his eyes fell on the cloth bag by Xu Qi 'an's feet. "Where is it?"
Xu Qi 'an put down his teacup and opened the cloth bag, revealing a stone Buddha statue. Its knife skills were extremely poor, even worse than a beginner's.
Chu Xianglong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at the Buddha statue. Although it was carved crudely, and there was only an outline of its face, the faint Buddhist aura made people realize that it was extraordinary.
"I have carved the profound meaning of the Vajra Divine Skill into the Buddha statue. As for whether it can be cultivated or not, it is your business, General," said Xu Qi 'an.
"Of course."
Chu Xianglong withdrew his gaze and looked at Xu Qi 'an. He nodded in satisfaction. "You are a man of honor."
Heh, if I did not have honor, you would say that a small silver gong like you dared to go back on your words and that even Wei Yuan could not protect you!
Xu Qi 'an sneered in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. "In fact, this skill itself is a free profit. If General Chu is interested, I can sell it for five hundred taels of silver. It is not worth the trouble."
Chu Xianglong walked over, wrapped the Buddha statue in the cloth bag, and held it in his hand. His face was full of ridicule and mockery.
"I don't think it is worth five hundred taels of silver to get something that can be obtained with a little trick. Of course, the Golden Body of Buddhism is hard to buy. Xu Yinluo, have a safe trip. I will not see you out. "
The Golden Body of Buddhism is hard to buy. I am not worthy of your money … Xu Qi 'an was not angry at all. He smiled and said, "The mountains do not change, the rivers do not flow."
He turned and left.
As soon as he reached the courtyard, he saw a maid hurrying over. "Are you Xu Yinluo, Xu Qi 'an?"
"Yes, I am." Xu Qi 'an nodded.
"My consort wants to see you," said the maid.
The Duchess of North wants to see me? "The most beautiful woman of Daibun wants to see me." "That's possible …" Xu Qi 'an was extremely curious about that famous woman.
The Xu Xu could see Qi 'an.. after of the courtyard, the courtyard, the courtyard.. a Qi' and as tall of as of as of as long 'as he could as a Hall.
He could vaguely see a graceful figure sitting on a deck chair with a book in her hand.
Xu Qi 'an tried hard to see her face clearly, but he found that there was a veil behind the curtain.
"Are you Xu Qi 'an?"
A mature female voice came from behind the curtain. It was cold and magnetic.
"Although I can't see her face, the voice is very nice …" Xu Qi 'an cupped his fist. "What is the matter, Princess?"
The woman in the Hall snorted. "I heard that outside the Meridian Gate, you blocked hundreds of officials and wrote a poem to ridicule them. Is that true?"
Xu Qi 'an said, "I am young and frivolous. I was impulsive. I am ashamed."
You can be ashamed? Pfft! The woman in the Hall was silent for a moment. "See the guest out."
That's it? Xu Qi 'an stared blankly at the woman in the pavilion, then turned around and followed the maidservant.
At that moment, a glistening yellow object was suddenly thrown out from the pavilion and hit Xu Qi 'an's back with a thud.
"Why did the Princess throw it at me?"
Xu Qi 'an turned around and looked at the gold on the ground. He didn't get any warning from his divine instinct. This meant that there was no danger, but he was a little angry.
The woman in the Hall ignored him.
Xu Qi 'an's eyes flashed with confusion. Seeing that the princess did not explain, he bent down to pick up the gold and put it in his pocket without changing his expression.
"Next time the Princess wants to throw it at me, remember to use a gold brick."
Xu Qi 'an sneered and left with the maid.
…
In the quiet bedroom, Chu Xianglong closed the door and windows. He placed the stone Buddha statue on the table and studied it for a long time. He felt a Buddhist charm flowing around it. It was wonderful.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't learn anything from it.
"The Vajra Divine Power of Buddhism really needs a certain chance and the foundation of Buddhism. Xu Qi 'an is indeed talented to be able to cultivate the Vajra Invincible. But no matter what, he is just a small character without a foundation. I can make him obedient with a little trick. "
Thinking of this, Chu Xianglong sneered. He was proud and disdainful.
What martial arts genius? What talent comparable to the King of Zhenbei? If it wasn't for the secret help of the Supervisor, he wouldn't have been able to fight with the Buddhist Arhat.
Of all the rumors about him in the capital, what Chu Xianglong hated the most was comparing him to the Prince.
A silver gong who was born fast and a lowly person who came from a military family. Did he deserve it?
"Apart from the Vajra Divine Power, there are very few benefits that can be extracted from him. Otherwise, in the imperial examination cheating case, I would have squeezed out all his value. "
There was a reason why Chu Xianglong and Cao Guogong planned the Vajra Divine Power. With their identity, status, and knowledge, how could they not know the mystery of the Vajra Divine Power?
Chu Xianglong joined the army at a young age. When he was with the army to encircle bandits, he met a traveler from the Western Region.
The traveler tried to use the Dharma to reform the hungry bandits, but he was tied up by the bandits and cooked.
Chu Xianglong saved the Walker, and in order to repay his kindness, the Walker gave him a bronze talisman. The talisman was engraved with Buddhist runes, and the Buddhist aura circulated around it. Whenever he wore it on his body, he would feel a sense of tranquility in his heart, and all his hostility would vanish. He would enter a state of enlightenment.
Every time after a battle, Chu Xianglong would wear it on his body to dispel his evil aura and comprehend the mysterious Dharma.
"Squeak …"
He opened the bedside table and took out a small sandalwood box. When he opened the lid, he saw a palm-sized bronze talisman wrapped in red silk.
"Although I am not a Buddhist, this talisman is mysterious and magical. It can help me enter a state of enlightenment. Maybe I can use it to understand the mystery of the Vajra Divine Power.
"Once I master the Vajra Divine Power, my combat strength will increase by more than one level. The key is that my body is far better than an ordinary Warrior's, and it can help me survive on the battlefield.
"In addition, if I can master the Vajra Divine Power with the help of the bronze talisman, His Royal Highness will definitely be able to as well. When the time comes, he will definitely reward me handsomely."
Thinking of this, Chu Xianglong's eyes were fanatical. He wanted to immediately comprehend the Buddha statue.
He took a deep breath and used the time it took to brew a cup of tea to calm his emotions. He calmed his heart and made it so that there were no ripples.
Then, he held the bronze talisman and began to meditate.
Gradually, he felt a vast and gentle aura. His mind became clear, and he calmly examined his seven emotions and six desires. He was no longer troubled by distracting thoughts.
After entering this state, Chu Xianglong opened his eyes and attentively observed the Buddhist runes on the stone statue.
This time, he clearly saw the Buddha statue moving and changing into various postures. Each posture was accompanied by a different method of Qi Channeling.
"It really works …" Chu Xianglong was ecstatic. He almost couldn't maintain his calm and tranquil state.
Subconsciously, he tried to imitate the posture of the stone statue and the unique method of Qi Channeling.
A golden lacquer lit up between his eyebrows and quickly covered half of his body.
Suddenly … the Qi in his body was affected. It was like a volcanic eruption, attacking his meridians and dantian.
"Puff!"
Chu Xianglong spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood vessels on the surface of his body ruptured. His dantian was also ruptured by the violent Qi Channeling. He was seriously injured.
His face suddenly turned red, and beads of sweat rolled down his face. He lowered his head and looked around himself. The golden lacquer on his arm faded little by little.
"How can this be? Even the bronze talisman won't work …" Chu Xianglong thought. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
After an hour, Chu Xianglong's confidant came to look for him. He finally found him unconscious and dying.
"There's an assassin, an assassin …"
…
After listening to the guard's report, the concubine of the King of Zhenbei suppressed the joy in her heart and asked, "Cultivation deviation? Why did you suddenly suffer from Qi Deviation? "
The guard shook his head. "I don't know."
The concubine of the King of Zhenbei said happily, "Is he dead?"
… The guard shook his head again. "His life is not in danger, but he is seriously injured. The warlock of the Celestial Commissioner said that he needs to stay in bed for a month to recover. Moreover, if he is found too late, his Qi Channeling will reverse, and his meridians will be broken. It is very likely that he will suffer from a long-term illness. "
The concubine of the King of Zhenbei was disappointed.
"However, I heard that it is probably related to the Buddha statue sent by Xu Yinluo," the guard said after a little hesitation.
Related to him? This brat did a good deed … The concubine of the King of Zhenbei thought with a smile.
…
On the rugged mountain road, Li Miaozhen, who was wearing a Taoist robe and a jade crown, walked slowly with the long sword given by her master on her back.
Wildflowers were blooming on the roadside. The sun was shining brightly, and the mountains were beautiful. She walked and looked at the scenery along the way.
A bright red oil-paper umbrella followed beside her. Under the umbrella was the beautiful Susu. Her eyes were like lacquer, her red lips were bright, and her skin was snow-white. She was wearing a complicated and gorgeous long dress.
Li Miaozhen was beautiful, but her aura was too fierce.
On the other hand, Susu was dressed like the daughter of a rich and powerful family. As her eyes moved, her charm was natural, and there was an indescribable charm.
"We will reach the capital in another eighty miles. Master, let's stay in the capital for a while, shall we?" Susu looked to the south, full of expectation.
"I am not familiar with the Celestial Commissioner. Xu Qi'an has passed away. Without his face, it would be strange if Song Qing would care about you." Li Miaozhen curled her lips and attacked her mercilessly.
"Then …"
Susu rolled her eyes and smiled slyly. "I will say that I am Xu Qi'an's future wife."
Li Miaozhen sneered. "That's good. Maybe he will release you on the spot and let you accompany him."
Susu turned around angrily and stood by the side of the road. She said angrily, "I don't want to go. I want to go back to Tenzō. I want to go back to Tenzō."
Her coquettish and coquettish attitude could evoke the tenderness of men who had tender feelings for the fairer sex.
Unfortunately, Li Miaozhen was not a man. She slapped the back of her head. "Are you going or not?"
Susu, who was hit, immediately became obedient. "Hey, don't hit my head. It's deflated."
At this time, Li Miaozhen sniffed and her face became serious. "I smell blood."
She looked around for a moment and locked on to the grass in front.
