Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty
Chapter 85: Calculation (fourth update thanks to leader Pig Baby)
Chu Yu looked unwilling: "Fakong, do you think father did something wrong? Is there a softer way?"
He really couldn't accept that he had done such a great thing that benefited the country and the people, but ended up like this.
It would not only chill his father's heart, but also the hearts of the people of the world.
If his father was really dismissed, what would the officials think?
He worked hard, but ended up in a miserable way.
He was perfunctory and lived in peace.
He kept thinking, if his father's methods were not so fierce and direct, would it be better?
Fakong smiled and said, "Brother Chu, I am just a monk. It's fine for me to chant sutras and recite Buddhist scriptures, chant mantras and perform spells, but asking me to talk about court affairs is like asking a blind man for advice."
"Fakong, you are very wise, don't be modest." Chu Yu waved his hand: "Let's talk behind closed doors. Tell me the truth, is father too hasty in his actions, should he be more gentle?"
Fakong said, "Your Highness can be gentle, but the drought will not be gentle, and the people's hunger will not be gentle. Now it seems that Your Highness has no other choice."
"Alas!" Chu Yu shook his head and sighed.
Fakong remained silent.
Even though he has the life experience of more than twenty people, even though he has profound historical knowledge and wisdom, he still won't talk too much and make arbitrary judgments at this time.
"Some people live in the world for fame, some for profit, and some for peace of mind." Seeing him in so much pain, Fakong advised: "The prince is the one who seeks peace of mind."
"Monk, you know the prince!" Xu Miaoru stroked her jade palm and praised: "If the prince heard this, he would definitely regard him as a confidant."
Fakong smiled and said: "Princess, just say whatever you want."
Anyway, he was determined not to go to Shenjing to get involved.
Xu Miaoru smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, just to see if the prince is in danger."
"Are you afraid that the prince's life is in danger?"
Xu Miaoru nodded gently: "There are few people who help in times of trouble, but there are many people who take advantage of others' misfortunes. We must be on guard."
"I was just talking nonsense last time." Fakong smiled.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Xu Miaoru.
The pupils changed rapidly, and the clairvoyance was performed.
The clairvoyance consumes one point of faith, and Xu Miaoru brought two points this time and earned one point.
After a moment,
"Lin Feiyang, please prepare the ink and brush."
"Yes." Lin Feiyang responded.
He came out of a room and quickly flew into the pavilion, bringing in two plates of snacks and placing a stack of plain paper and inkstone on the stone table.
The plump and graceful Xiao Tao stepped forward to grind the ink.
After the ink was ground, she presented the pen with her plump and white hands.
Fakong took the pen and looked around.
"Turn around." Xu Miaoru waved her jade hand gently.
Everyone turned around, facing Fakong with their backs, and looked at the scenery around the pavilion.
Lin Feiyang smiled proudly, picked up the paperweight, smoothed the plain paper, and stood beside Fakong and stared at him.
Fakong frowned and glanced at him.
Lin Feiyang looked at him with a smile.
Fakong pouted.
Lin Feiyang turned around unwillingly.
Fakong then wrote two sheets of plain paper in one go, then blew them dry and folded them.
It's not a big problem to write a few words to remind Prince Xin of the good and bad luck, as long as he doesn't go to Shenjing.
Now it's like a fortune teller, who gives a divination.
Even if the fortune teller is accurate, people will not care too much, nor will they regard it as a threat.
After all, most people are half-believing and half-doubting.
It may be accurate countless times, but it may not be accurate this time, so it can't be taken seriously. Just take a look and have fun.
As a monk, it's not surprising that he knows the art of divination, and it won't attract too much attention.
It's not that a first-class master will come to trouble him.
What's more, as long as he stays in Yaogu, if a first-class master really dares to come, the first-class master sitting in the Vajra Temple will definitely stop him.
Although it is said that the first-class masters are not in the temple, wandering around and missing, and only appear when the temple encounters life and death danger, but Fakong does not completely believe it.
He judged that there must be a first-class master in the Vajra Temple, but he is just hiding.
——
"Princess." Fakong handed her two pieces of plain paper: "Read it after you leave the valley. The fewer people see it, the better."
"Thank you, monk." Xu Miaoru took the plain paper with a smile.
Finally, she got what she wanted.
She knew Fakong's temperament. He didn't want to be contaminated by the world and didn't want to be involved in karma, so she didn't expect to invite Fakong back to the palace.
She originally believed in Fakong, and after the drought and the incident of the Jimin Warehouse, she believed in him even more.
She was very worried about the situation facing Prince Xin.
Others thought that Prince Xin was a prince, and no matter how much trouble he made, no one would think of assassinating Prince Xin.
But she didn't think so.
This time, he offended too many people. I don't know how many people wanted to confiscate his family and exterminate his clan. Maybe someone would take the risk and assassinate the prince in anger.
She was anxious and worried, and couldn't help but think of Fakong, and wanted to come to Fakong for help.
Fakong warned: "Princess, it's best if only you and the prince can see it, no one else can see it."
"I can't see it either, Fakong?" Chu Yu was dissatisfied.
Fakong shook his head: "The secrets of heaven cannot be leaked. What I saw was the secrets of heaven that had not been interfered with. Once there is interference from external forces, what I saw may not be accurate."
Xu Miaoru hurriedly said: "Don't worry, monk, only I can see it, and the prince won't let me see it."
Fakong nodded: "That's the best, the fewer people see it, the more accurate it is."
"Monk, don't you really want to go to Shenjing for a tour?" Chu Yu was unwilling to give up: "Enjoy the prosperity?"
Fakong smiled but said nothing.
"You are really weird." Chu Yu was puzzled.
Fakong looked up at the sky.
"You are chasing people away." Chu Yu snorted.
Fakong smiled and said, "The Vajra Temple is not peaceful now. It is better to leave as soon as possible to avoid trouble."
"Fakong, is it because of the Dayong Wulin breaking in?"
"Hmm?"
"There are two major events in Shenjing now, which are very popular," Chu Yu raised his finger: "One is the matter of my father, and the other is that the masters of Dayong Wulin are harming our Daqian."
Fakong nodded.
I didn't expect the impact to be so big and spread so quickly.
"Everyone is dissatisfied with your Daxueshan Sect and thinks that you are neglecting your duties."
Fakong did not refute.
This is true.
In any case, no matter what the excuse is, it is true that the Daxueshan Sect failed to stop the Dayong Wulin.
In the final analysis, it was paralyzed by the small fights of the Dayong Wulin in recent years, and never thought that the Dayong Wulin would take large-scale actions.
There were only a dozen guards on each mountain peak. How could they possibly defend themselves when hundreds of people suddenly rushed over?
By the time the temple reacted, the people had already run away.
Unless they were good at hunting like the Vajra Temple, or the Mingyue Temple, which reacted very quickly, it would be difficult to escape.
"The court has made a decision." Chu Yu shook his head and said, "It has been decided to counterattack."
Fakong said, "Will they not let the masters of the Shenwu Mansion enter Dayong to counterattack?"
There are five Shenwu Mansions in total, east, west, south, north and center, guarding all directions. In fact, the real purpose is to guard against the various sects in the martial arts world.
The Shenwu Mansion belongs to the army, and it does not belong to the Ministry of War of the court. Instead, it is directly commanded by the Minister of Military Affairs, and is the imperial army.
"The masters of the Shenwu Mansion will wipe out these masters of Dayong." Chu Yu shook his head: "The masters who counterattack are the masters of the Six Paths of the Demon Sect."
Fakong frowned.
"You can't believe it?" Chu Yu shook his head: "But if you think about it, you can understand it. After all, there are so many masters in the Six Paths of the Demon Sect, more than your Great Snow Mountain Sect and the Tianhai Sword Sect of the Holy Light Sect."
"That's true." Fakong nodded.
Ever since the Heavenly Demon Secret Book was announced to the world, the whole world is full of Demon Sects.
At the beginning, the court strictly prohibited it and denounced it as a taboo, but later it was gradually relaxed, resulting in countless disciples of the Six Paths of the Demon Sect. No matter how low the chance of becoming a top master is, there are too many people to resist, and there are so many masters.
"I specifically inquired about it. They will sneak into Dayong from the peaks of your Great Snow Mountain. The one who goes from your King Kong Peak is the Cantian Dao."
Fakong raised his eyebrows.
"Huh, Cantian Dao!" Chu Yu sneered.
He was intercepted by Cantian Dao halfway. If it weren't for Fakong, he would have almost died.
"Be careful, they probably won't pass by honestly, they will definitely play tricks."
"Well, if they are honest, they are not the Demon Sect."
"Alas..., Fakong, your Great Snow Mountain Sect is not doing well this time." Chu Yu shook his head: "Anyway, it is a disgrace to the court. In the future..."
He sighed.
"What troubles will there be in the future?"
"Anyway, I don't trust you that much." Chu Yu said: "I heard from my father that there are complaints from the officials in the court, saying that your Great Snow Mountain Sect has been too lax in recent years and it's time to control it."
Fakong was silent.
The words became heavier and heavier.
"The Great Snow Mountain Sect had better not come to the court, lest they be killed as an example." Chu Yu advised: "In recent years, the court has begun to use the Demon Sect, and the Shenwu Palace has also grown in strength. They are beginning to prepare to clean up the martial arts sects. At this time, they are eager for a sect to jump out!"
Fakong suddenly smiled and shook his head and said: "Brother Chu, what do these things have to do with a vegetable-growing monk like me? Don't worry about it."
"You are open-minded." Chu Yu laughed.
If it were me, I would have been worried when I heard these unfavorable news, but Fakong was not surprised.
"Let it go, just go with the flow." Fakong said.
——
Xu Miaoru and his party left the Vajra Temple, surrounded by guards.
Eight strong sedan bearers with bulging temples carried a wide green velvet sedan.
Xu Miaoru and two maids sat in the sedan.
The sedan was surrounded by three layers of guards.
There were only four guards from the Divine Origin Realm who entered the Medicine Valley, and there were more than 40 guards waiting outside the Medicine Valley, all of whom were masters of the Heavenly Origin Realm.
Prince Xin was worried that Xu Miaoru would be in danger, so he sent out all the elite guards from the palace, led by Chen Guangdi, the commander of the palace guards.
"Mom, let me take a look." Chu Yu followed outside the sedan, walking calmly.
Ever since leaving the Medicine Valley, he had been pestering Xu Miaoru, wanting to see what Fakong had written.
But Xu Miaoru refused to give it to him.
Chu Yu said, "Take a look, never spread it, and don't say a word!"
"No means no." Xu Miaoru lifted the side curtain, revealing her jade face, and said with a smile, "Yu'er, just give up on this idea."
"Alas..." Chu Yu shook his head and sighed.
Xu Miaoru said: "You are also very concerned about Monk Fakong. You actually collected such confidential information."
"My eldest brother and second brother helped to collect it." Chu Yu said: "The Great Snow Mountain Sect is indeed not in good condition."
"The Great Snow Mountain Sect..." Xu Miaoru chuckled and said: "That is a holy place of Buddhism. It has been standing for many years. How could there be any problem?"
"That's why my grandfather is afraid of it."
"It's not that easy." Xu Miaoru shook her head gently: "Don't believe everything you hear. Just rest assured."
"But my grandfather..."
Xu Miaoru glanced around with clear eyes and shook her head gently.
Chu Yu shut up when he knew the opportunity.
——
Fakong reported the news that Chu Yu had specially conveyed to Huinan. When he returned to Medicine Valley, he found that the entire Medicine Valley had changed greatly.
Especially the corridors and pavilions on the lake.
Not only were the tea cups on the table in the pavilion replaced with jade cups, and the teapots replaced with red pots, but the pavilion was also surrounded by light gauze curtains.
In front of the eaves of the pavilion and the corridors, there were glass lamps, carved with various exotic flowers and plants, birds, insects, fish and animals, which were lifelike and full of wealth.
PS: The update is complete. It would be great if I could have a monthly ticket.
