Monk Long Shou looked calm as he nodded. The monk was expressionless when he talked about dual cultivation. On the contrary, His Royal Highness, who had been through a lot, found it ridiculous. Even Sweet Potato and Blue Bird looked at each other in disbelief.
Hsu Fengnian asked curiously, "Do all the Tantric Masters not practice dual cultivation to achieve Dharmakaya Buddha and Sambhogakaya Buddha?"
The middle-aged monk in the red cassock was still expressionless as he answered, "Only those who have renounced their desires can achieve supreme yoga. Supreme yoga is the ultimate root of all."
Hsu Fengnian felt a headache coming on. He asked, "Why me?"
The monk shook his head. It was obvious that even he did not know the details.
If that was the case, Hsu Fengnian would only go to Mount Lantuo if his head was caught in the latrine door. Forty-two years old was nothing to the Bodhisattva, but to a living woman, it was not young at all. No matter how well she took care of herself, it was not something Hsu Fengnian could accept.
This was not the most important thing. The conflict between the Red, Yellow, and White sects of Tantric Buddhism had intensified in recent years. Since the secret record said that a six-Jeweled Master dual cultivation could achieve perfection, why would the more powerful White and Yellow sects stupidly allow the Red Sect to obtain such great merit? Perhaps Hsu Fengnian would be skinned alive by the monks before he even reached Mount Lantuo. After all, some Tantric sects liked to use skulls with the top of the skull removed as instruments to exorcise ghosts and summon spirits. As for skulls and drums made of human bones, they were common in the history books. Just hearing about them was enough to make one's hair stand on end. The six-Jeweled Bodhisattva was very powerful and was respected as the fundamental Master. Moreover, the followers of the Red Sect believed that she was the incarnation of Amitabha and Guan Yin Bodhisattva. The so-called six-Jeweled Bodhisattva was rumored to have six transformations. Guan Yin Bodhisattva, Lotus King Master, and Wrathful Vajra Master sounded invincible. However, no matter how powerful they were, they were still eating dust behind the old monks of Mount Lantuo.
Hsu Fengnian did not trust the Red Sect that was struggling to survive between the Yellow and White sects. Other than being afraid of death, he did not wish for Mount Lantuo and the female Dharmaraja to disrupt his embryonic plan.
It was one thing to refuse to go, but it was another to offend the Crimson Sect for no reason. It would be best if he could deal with them. Moreover, the monks from Mount Lantuo were all treasures. Xu Fengnian forced a smile and explained, "I can't leave for the time being."
The monk still said the same nonsense, "I can wait."
Hsu Fengnian asked curiously, "How long can we wait?"
The monk said slowly, "There are still 31 years."
Hsu Fengnian almost vomited blood.
What perverted patience. In the future, he would try his best not to have any dealings with Mount Lantuo. If someone held a grudge against him, he would never be able to live in peace for the rest of his life.
Monk Long Shou, who seemed to be willing to wait for Hsu Fengnian's children to grow up, did not stay in the prince's mansion. However, he did not leave the city either. Given Beiliang's tolerance towards monks, this strange monk on Mount Lantuo would not starve to death.
Hsu Fengnian sat in the pavilion and muttered, "Ridiculous."
Sweet Potato teased, "Your Highness, why don't you follow that Tantric Guru?"
Hsu Fengnian raised his head and sighed, "She's already a forty-two-year-old old lady! Even if she's an old cow eating young grass, this is not the way to do it. "
Sweet Potato sat beside His Royal Highness, her delicate hands kneading with ingenious strength. She smiled charmingly and said, "Maybe that female Bodhisattva has a technique to retain her youthful looks."
Hsu Fengnian glared at her.
Blue Bird said indifferently, "Today is the day of the release of the cards."
Hsu Fengnian perked up. "A big fish has taken the bait?"
Blue Bird said calmly, "Two groups of Jianghu people of unknown origins have gathered in the city. The people in the lead have third-level martial strength."
Hsu Fengnian said regretfully, "If it was before, it would have been a big fish. But now, I've seen the world. Sigh. Forget it, it's better than nothing. "
Sweet Potato smiled.
His Royal Highness had an endless stream of playful ideas since he was young. Perhaps it was the result of Xu Xiao's lax discipline, or perhaps it was the result of his deliberate indulgence. There was no sign of him restraining himself. In fact, the Pillar State had only said two things in the past ten years. One was that he was not allowed to touch a blade for ten years. The other was that he had never taught Hsu Fengnian how to conduct himself. Whether he was a hedonist, a prodigal son, or a loafer, they were all things that Hsu Fengnian had figured out on his own. State Scholar Li Yuanying did not care about trivial matters. In the past, when his second sister Xu Weixiong was at home, it was fine because there was someone who could suppress His Royal Highness. However, when she went to Shangyin Academy to study, Hsu Fengnian was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins. He did whatever he wanted, flirting with women, spending a lot of money to buy poetry and literature, keeping evil servants and retainers, closing the door to his enemies and letting their dogs out. He had a lot of fun. No wonder the scholars who had left Liangli and achieved success all cursed His Royal Highness for being ignorant and incompetent.
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "Pass down the order. Tonight, don't play any tricks of being loose on the outside but tight on the inside. Let them all in at once. Since these fishes and shrimps took advantage of Xu Xiao's absence to sneak into the city, they are most likely coming for me. When the time comes, I will wait here. Blue Bird, please invite one swordsman and one macheteman from the residence. I want to watch the battle. The moves that these desperadoes use when they are on the brink of death are the most flexible. Compared to the rigid words in the secret manual, it is much more useful. "
Blue Bird left quietly. When she did things, no matter how big or small, not a drop of water would leak out.
Sweet Potato stretched out her slender index finger, wanting to stroke Hsu Fengnian's scarlet eyebrows.
Hsu Fengnian grabbed her extremely daring finger and laughed. "Are you rebelling?"
Sweet Potato said coquettishly, "Just a touch."
Hsu Fengnian shook his head.
Sweet Potato's eyes were filled with resentment.
Hsu Fengnian did not show any tender feelings for the fairer sex. He restrained his expression and frowned bitterly. "Second Sister is coming. The residence is going to thunder and rain."
