Su Xin spent a full three months in seclusion this time. Although it seemed to others that the seclusion time of a Harmonious Divine Realm expert was calculated in years, for Su Xin, three months was considered a long time.
During these three months, Su Xin did not deliberately cultivate his own True Qi. He only wanted to make his current strength more integrated, which could be considered as a preliminary mastery of the power of the Harmonious Divine Realm.
After three months, Su Xin came out of seclusion. The first thing he did was to find Huang Bingcheng and ask, "How has Qi Long been doing during this time?"
As Su Xin's confidant, Huang Bingcheng naturally would not deliberately suppress Qi Long or say anything bad about him; there was no need to do so.
With Huang Bingcheng's current status, not to mention that Qi Long was only in the Divine Transformation Realm, even if he was in the Harmonious Divine Realm, Huang Bingcheng would not put him in his eyes. He was the true confidant of Su Xin. Even if others wanted to compete for this position, they had to at least be qualified.
Therefore, Huang Bingcheng thought for a moment and said, "Qi Long has been doing well during this time. Some of the affairs in Shengjing City and Beiyuan have been temporarily taken care of by him, and his handling is reasonable.
Moreover, others say that Qi Long is extreme and can easily ruin big things, but I don't see this. Although his methods are a bit cruel, he still knows how to restrain himself when it comes to big things. "
Su Xin nodded. He was not surprised by this.
In the past, Qi Long cultivated the incomplete cultivation method of the Blood Demon Sect. With his strength, even some of the incomplete cultivation methods of the Blood Demon Sect could not resist the powerful demonic nature.
Cultivation Methods could affect a martial artist's mind. Qi Long originally had a gloomy and ruthless character, and now that he was practicing a Devil Path Cultivation Method, he was stimulated to become even more extreme and ruthless, bloodthirsty, and bloodthirsty was normal.
Now, Su Xin used the Blue Lotus Seed to promote him to the Divine Transformation Realm. Part of this power was used to suppress the demonic nature in Qi Long's body, so he could completely control this powerful demonic cultivation method.
From Su Xin's point of view, the Blood Demon Sect's techniques were only exceedingly evil, but they were lacking in grandeur.
Huang Bingcheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Oh right, Sir, some things have happened in Shengjing City recently, and some of them involve some of our men.
However, because you were in seclusion, Qi Long came to me to discuss it. We both decided to endure it for the time being and wait for you to come back to deal with it. "
Su Xin raised his eyebrows. There were still people who dared to provoke him in Shengjing City?
This was not because Su Xin was arrogant, but because Su Xin had the confidence to do so. With his current power and influence, basically no one in Shengjing City would dare to provoke him, Su Xin.
Among the forces in Shengjing City, there was no need to mention Six Fan School. No matter how much Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian hated him, they would definitely not dare to provoke him in Shengjing City. They had lost the support of their men. Instead of thinking about how to pacify the people, they had come to cause trouble for him.
The military had always cooperated with Six Fan School, and Su Xin had a good relationship with the military. As such, there was no reason for the military to cause trouble for Su Xin.
Aside from Six Fan School and the military, the remaining forces in Shengjing City were the dukes and marquises of the Zhou Kingdom and some of the princes who had come to Shengjing City.
The dukes and marquises of the Zhou Kingdom prioritized stability. After all, when the Kunlun Secret Realm ended last time, someone had interfered in the battle for the throne, which made Ji Haodian extremely angry. Since then, the dukes and marquises of the Zhou Kingdom had been much more peaceful, not daring to cause trouble again.
Now that Su Xin was favored by the emperor, and he was very powerful, even the dukes did not have the guts to provoke Su Xin.
As for the remaining princes in Shengjing City, they could not rule out the possibility of some idiots coming to cause trouble for Su Xin. They thought that just because they were princes, Su Xin would not dare to touch them.
However, it was a pity that the princes who were truly powerful were like the King of Shu, Ji Yanxiu, who was still staying in their fiefdoms to accumulate their strength. The princes who were now in Shengjing City were either unable to see the situation clearly, or they were pathetically weak. In any case, none of them had the power to provoke Su Xin.
"Go and call Qi Long over as well. Tell me everything in detail."
After a while, Qi Long rushed over, and the two of them told Su Xin everything in detail. During the three months that Su Xin had been in seclusion, many things had happened. Among them, the most important one was that many experts of Esoteric Buddhism had been invited to Shengjing City by the emperor of the Zhou Kingdom to study the secret of the white jade slab.
The Jin Gang Temple of Esoteric Buddhism was one of the three Buddhist temples. Its strength dominated the Western Border, and it was an existence like Buddha.
However, Esoteric Buddhism had always kept a low profile. They also knew that they could not do anything outside of the Western Border, so they rarely came to the Central Plains to compete with the Shaolin Temple.
This time, it was said that an eminent monk of Esoteric Buddhism had heard about the secret of the white jade slab. He claimed that the Jin Gang Temple had the secret and description of the white jade slab. They had studied it for many years, and wanted to cooperate with the Zhou Kingdom to find out the secret.
In the end, no one knew what he said to Ji Haodian, but Ji Haodian finally agreed to his conditions, allowing a large number of experts of Esoteric Buddhism to enter Shengjing City.
Originally, this would have been fine. However, no one knew what these monks of Esoteric Buddhism had fed Ji Haodian, and he actually agreed to preach in the Central Plains.
One had to know that there were only two sects that were qualified to preach in the Central Plains. They were the Shaolin Temple of Buddhism and the Taoist sects. Even the White Lotus Sect was listed as a cult by the Zhou Kingdom.
As for sects like the Kunjia Sect in the northern Golden Horde Kingdom, and the Zoroastrianism which had the most believers in the 36 countries of the Western Border, these sects were only qualified to preach in their local areas. If they dared to preach in the Central Plains, it would be a provocation to the Zhou Kingdom, and they would definitely be eliminated.
Actually, according to the personalities of the past emperors, they would not even want to keep the Shaolin Temple and the Taoist sects.
However, the Taoist sects and the Shaolin Temple had been passed down for too long, and their foundations were extremely strong. Several dynasties had even listed them as state religions, and they had long been established. Even if the dynasties changed, the Buddhist sects and the Taoist sects would never be destroyed.
Among these two orthodoxies, the Taoist sects were easy to deal with. Whether it was the Ultimate One Path or the Creation Path, they were both branches of the Taoist sects. It was just that everyone's philosophy was somewhat different, and it was not to the extent that they had to fight to the death for the orthodoxies.
However, the Buddhist sects were different from the Buddhism sects. Although they were each one of the three Buddhist temples, the two sides had attacked each other because of the huge difference in the philosophy of Buddhism. There had been many wars in history.
However, the Shaolin Temple had won in the end, while the Buddhism sects could only stay in a corner of the Western Border.
Of course, this was also related to the Esoteric Buddhism seeking its own death.
Although the Tantric Sect was a sect, it also had countless branches. For example, the Titanium Temple was the most powerful one. However, there were also countless small sects below it, which were also one of the branches of the Tantric Sect. Although they were not as powerful as the Titanium Temple, they were not weak either.
For example, the Kunjia Sect in the northern grasslands was one of the branches of Buddhism. However, the Kunjia Sect had fought with the Titanium Temple in the Western Border and was defeated. In the end, some of the remaining disciples went to the grasslands and took root there. Then, a few amazing people came out and became the Kunjia Sect today.
In the end, the Kunjia Sect even became the state religion of the Golden Horde Kingdom. Its strength was extremely powerful in the Golden Horde Kingdom, and it even had the strength to share the grasslands with the Khan of the Golden Horde Kingdom.
Although Su Xin knew about the messy matters of Esoteric Buddhism, he did not expect that he would have to deal with Esoteric Buddhism one day.
Su Xin knocked on the table and asked, "Tell me, if Esoteric Buddhism wants to preach, then so be it. After all, this is something that His Majesty has allowed, but why would they have a conflict with our people? Who provoked whom first? "
Qi Long's expression was a little ugly as he said, "These monks of Esoteric Buddhism are a little too overbearing. We naturally don't care if they want to preach, but this group of people are pestering us in the process of preaching. They are simply unscrupulous.
And as you know, Sir, the foundation of Esoteric Buddhism in the Central Plains is too shallow. It is basically useless to preach to ordinary people, so the people they choose are basically martial artists. After all, as long as they can recruit a martial artist as a believer, their influence will be hundreds of times greater than that of ordinary people. "
Su Xin frowned. "They dare to preach to my people?"
Su Xin did not have a good impression of any religion. The Taoist sect's purity and inaction was not bad, and it was less aggressive. Therefore, in history, the Taoist sect had been the state religion more than others.
However, even so, the Taoist sect had split into countless evil sects, and many of them had been killed in history.
His subordinates could cultivate Daoist cultivation techniques or Buddhist cultivation techniques. Even if they cultivated Devil Dao cultivation techniques, it didn't matter.
However, cultivation methods were cultivation methods. If anyone put their faith above Su Xin's orders, this was something that Su Xin could not tolerate.
If the Tantric Sect really did this, it would be obvious that they didn't care about Su Xin at all. It was a blatant slap to his face.
Qi Long shook his head and said, "The people of Buddhism do not have the courage to openly provoke the people of Six Fan School, but they have set their sights on the dukes and marquises of the Zhou Kingdom.
Some of the dukes and marquises of the Zhou Kingdom were so tired of being harassed that they came to our Six Fan School to ask us to expel them. I did not expect that these foreign monks of Buddhism were so overbearing that they openly attacked our people and injured several of our brothers. "
Qi Long's eyes showed a trace of gloominess. "Sir, because you are in closed-door training, I did not immediately fall out with those foreign monks. I just chose to endure it for the time being, but I did not expect that those foreign monks would become even more aggressive.
As a result, the dukes and marquises of the Zhou Kingdom also spread rumors that our Six Fan School is afraid of those foreign monks and only knows how to be tyrannical at home, but when faced with foreign enemies, we are afraid.
During this time, the prestige of our Six Fan School has been greatly reduced, and we are in a very bad situation. "
Huang Bingcheng added, "And these rumors are mainly aimed at you, boss. After all, the Six Fan School in Shengjing is under your jurisdiction."
