Naruto Puppet Master

"By the way, is that Cao Cao still useful?" Dong Zhuo asked remembering it.

"Well, he is respectful in his words and has good work ability. He is indeed a talent." Li Ru thought for a while and said, "If the Prime Minister is interested, you might as well accept him."

"Although he is also close to the noble family, he is an eunuch after all. No one really thinks highly of his background and sincerely relies on you."

"Sincerely surrender."

"Hahaha, considering the grandeur of this world, I guess he was already chosen to be a hidden dragon when he was born!"

"I don't want to experience the trick of assassinating Dong alone here." Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said: "Let him go. I don't really care about this kind of thing now. Anyway, I have the military power in my hand, and they can't overturn it no matter what. sky."

"It's a good idea to recruit you as a Qi Refiner. Next, we will focus on recruiting talents who have the ability to calculate."

"Especially those who know the feng shui of heaven and earth, and the luck of humanity must attract one for the true nature."

"Yes, Prime Minister, Confucianism will focus on recruiting these people."

After giving the instructions, Dong Zhuo said again: "Well, by the way, do you know about White Horse Temple?"

"Um, I know." Li Ru glanced at Dong Zhuo and continued: "It is said to be the Niuzhou Sect of Xihe, the most important and first stronghold of Western Buddhism in China."

"It's just outside Luoyang City. It was built during the Ming Dynasty."

"Yes." Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Go and summon Master Vajra. I want to ask him about the truth."

"Yes." Li Ru, who had some suspicion in his mind, stepped back respectfully.

Not long after, accompanied by heavy footsteps, Li Ru came to the main hall with a tall, burly, fierce-looking bald monk.

"This is Dong Xiangguo." Li Ru said to the monk, pointing to Dong Zhuo's burly body like a mountain of flesh above him.

"The poor monk Fayuan has seen the Prime Minister." Although Fayuan already knew some descriptions of Dong Zhuo before coming, it was not until he saw it with his own eyes that he realized how such a physical body could be described as burly.

"Can a person be so tall that he is almost three meters tall when he is sitting, and his waist is as wide as a courtyard pillar when two people hug each other?"

"Are you sure he doesn't have foreign blood?" Although he was thinking this in his mind, Fa Yuan greeted Dong Zhuo without any hint of surprise.

Not only because he has to pay for his food in the future, so he can't offend the other party for such a rootless thing for no reason.

It was because from the moment they met, Fayuan felt a faint sense of threat from Dong Zhuo.

Although Fayuan is confident that the opponent should not be his opponent, Fayuan will not forget that the martial arts in the mortal world does not have a cultivation method similar to the realm of golden elixir.

If he is stretched to death, he will only have Gang Qi that is slightly stronger than the innate realm, but there is no magic weapon, no Taoist skills, only the physical body and martial arts can create a sense of threat to him, who has refined the golden body of the Dharma protector and reached the realm of the golden elixir relic. It's enough to make people shocked by Dong Zhuo's strength.

"Oh Mi Tuo Buddha, he is indeed a famous general and powerful official in the Han Dynasty. If it were not restricted by the restrictions of his skills, he would have become one of my generation." Fa Yuan thought in his heart vigilantly.

"Master Vajra is no more polite." Dong Zhuo, who didn't know the details of his strength, had almost been guessed by the other party, said with a smile on his face.

"These are the direct generals under the Prime Minister's command. This is Bingzhou Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian." Li Ru pointed at the tall and handsome Lu Bu opposite and introduced.

"I've seen the general." Fayuan said in a salute to Buddha.

"I have met the master." Lu Bu, who knew that the other party was a true immortal cultivator, replied without hesitation.

"This is Hua Xiong, Li Cui, Fan Chou, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji." Li Ru introduced them again.

"I've met all the generals." Fa Yuan said politely again.

"Master, you're welcome." Xiliang generals clasped their fists and said.

Seeing that Li Ru had finished the introduction, Dong Zhuo directly asked: "I heard that the Master broke through the Two Boundary Mountains from Xihe Niuzhou and came to Dongsheng Shenzhou?"

"Yes, the poor monk is indeed from Xihe Niuzhou." Fa Yuan nodded and said.

"I heard that there is a big sect in the West, saying: Western Buddhism is a great worldly religion that can be compared with our Chinese Taoist sect. I don't know if that's right." Dong Zhuo asked again.

"Yes." Fayuan nodded and said: "Although the young monk's cultivation is shallow and he has never seen the Holy Land of Lingshan with his own eyes, the elders and uncles of the former sect are all figures of the earthly immortal generation, and they have all seen the Holy Land of Lingshan, Bodhisattvas, of the Buddha.”

"So Western Buddhism does have great power." Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "As for why the Master came to Dongsheng Shenzhou, I don't want to interfere. I only care about whether the Master is willing to fulfill our obligations. mutual aid agreement.”

"As long as the Master is willing to abide by it, just stay!"

"Before coming here, the poor monk had already thought about it and thanked the Prime Minister for taking him in." Fayuan said with a Buddhist salute.Fayuan was also satisfied with Dong Zhuo's knowledge.

No one likes someone who inquires into their private affairs, even if it is their superior.

"Yes." Dong Zhuo nodded and continued: "Master, if you want to know the truth, can you teach me the method of immortality?"

"Um, Prime Minister, since ancient times, human emperors have not been allowed to practice Taoism. This is an iron law that all people, gods and ghosts in the three realms must abide by." Fa Yuan's expression changed slightly and he said:

"But the real person is not the human emperor!" Dong Zhuo said with a bite: "Furthermore, Liu An, the former king of Huainan, was a member of the royal family who could practice Taoism and refine elixirs to become immortals. Since the real person is not the human emperor, he is just the prime minister, so why not."

"This." Fa Yuan was speechless.

Although Fa Yuan came to China not long ago, as the most famous story of enlightenment and immortality in the past two or three hundred years, the protagonist of the story of chickens and dogs ascending to heaven, Huainan King Liu An, to be honest, hundreds of years have passed, and there have never been fewer people who are jealous of him. Pass.

Naturally, there are more people talking about it, and it means it is famous. Anyway, even Fayuan himself was in a very unstable mood when he first heard Liu An's story.

"But the Prime Minister is not too young! In these half a hundred years, it may be difficult to find the immortal way unless it is a great opportunity!" After being stunned for a while, Fayuan said: "After all, the elixir cannot be practiced just by practicing it. of."

"I know that if I follow the Taoist method, unless there is a great elixir, it will be impossible for me to survive in this life."

"That's why I wanted to try other methods."

"I heard that Western Buddhism is a method of longevity that is no less important than the Taoist method, and it is different from the Taoist method of accumulation and hundred days of foundation building. What is emphasized is the word "enlightenment."

"Buddha's Dharma is vast, and if you are destined to do so, even if you are a human sinner who has killed many people, or an old man who is about to die, as long as you are enlightened, you can use this to enter Buddhism and practice Buddhism."

"Is that true?" Dong Zhuo asked in a deep voice.

"True." Fayuan nodded and said.For the vastness of Buddhism,

Pudu has a predestined relationship. Even though Fanyuan has defected from his sect, he still agrees with Buddhism.

Anyway, when his own masters and uncles really saw someone suitable, as long as they were willing to submit, they would all accept them.

Anyway, it's just a set of skills. Those who can succeed will naturally succeed. Those who can't succeed will sooner or later become a pile of loess. What's the pity if they have it.

As for cause and effect, Buddhism is least afraid of cause and effect. This is what people practice.

"I wonder what kind of Dafa Master practices? Can you teach me?" After beating around the bush for a long time, Dong Zhuo finally asked the only question he wanted to ask.

"Oh Mituo Buddha! The Buddhist Dharma Protector Tutu Vajra Dharma practiced by the poor monk is intensively practiced on the golden body of relics. However, although the poor monk has betrayed his original teacher's academy, he did make a vow of Buddha's heart when he first taught the Dharma. , so the Prime Minister forgives the sin, and the poor monk cannot leak the inherited skills privately." Fa Yuan said in refusal.

"Oh, it's so abrupt." Although he had expected it, Dong Zhuo was still a little disappointed when he actually heard the rejection.

Although there is already a heavenly magic method, Dong Zhuo really would not choose to form the golden elixir method that is said to be a golden elixir, but is actually similar to the corpse elixir unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Forget it, let's go to the White Horse Temple to see it later! The largest Buddhist temple in Middle-earth, it is impossible not to practice the true method of Buddhism." Dong Zhuo thought comfortingly.

As for the Taoist sect, Dong Zhuo didn't have much hope from the beginning because of his age and status.

"As long as the Prime Minister understands." Seeing that Dong Zhuo did not pursue anything self-righteously, Fayuan also saluted respectfully and apologetically.

"Well, since the master's inherited techniques cannot be passed on to others, I hope that the master can help me collect some other people's cultivation techniques in the future."

Dong Zhuo said again: "The truth now requires the upper-level method that can cast the golden elixir and the cultivation method that can later condense the soul."

"The poor monk will do his best." Perhaps because of Dong Zhuo's sensible performance several times before, Fa Yuan, who had seen the faces of many mortal nobles before, agreed with some affection in his heart.

Anyway, it's just someone else's technique. If there is a chance, Fa Yuan won't mind.

"Then thank you, Master." Dong Zhuo nodded and thanked.

Then he turned to Li Ru beside him and said, "Take someone to the pharmacy and give the thousand-year-old jade ginseng to the Master."

"Yes, Prime Minister." Li Ru said respectfully.

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Fayuan thanked him with a slight movement of his lips.

As a person who escaped from Xihe Niuzhou, although Fa Yuan has the strength of the Golden Core Relic Realm, he is truly rootless, and his cultivation resources have been insufficient over the years.

Even so, the best ones he has used in recent years are elixirs that are hundreds of years old, which he picked by himself by going to the mountains and forests to kill monsters.

How could he have the chance to get involved with the thousand-year-old elixir?

Now I just met Dong Zhuo, answered a few questions of Dong Zhuo, and even rejected Dong Zhuo, but was actually given a thousand-year elixir. If I really help Dong Zhuo get things done, then...

Never before at this moment, Fa Yuan felt so lucky to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Seeing the moved expression on Fa Yuan's face, Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction.

This is the effect he wants, relying on direct benefits such as training resources to mobilize the motivation of these cultivators who can't afford to start early without benefit.

Although they may not be willing to hand over their special skills to Dong Zhuo, they would not have any scruples if they were taking someone else's.

The enviable cultivation resources are Dong Zhuo's only bait that can mobilize these people to the greatest extent.

The mentality of dead Taoist friends and poor Taoists is an idea that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the cruel world of cultivation.

As for the bloody killings caused by this, Dong Zhuo had already subconsciously ignored it.

"Master, please come this way." Seeing that Dong Zhuo and the two of them had no intention of continuing the conversation, Li Ru immediately said to Fayuan while guiding him.

"Oh Mi Tuo Buddha, the poor monk of the Prime Minister has retired first." Fa Yuan said respectfully and performed the Buddhist salute.

"Master, please." Dong Zhuo smiled and nodded.

As the two left, only Dong Zhuo, who was thinking about himself, and a group of generals were left in the hall.

Just because what we are talking about is the world of cultivation, which is not a place where mortals can express their opinions. Therefore, even the unruly Lu Bu can only sit there like a wooden sculpture at this moment, instead of making any leaps and attempts, most of them are relatively speaking. A stupid suggestion.

But he was not made to wait any longer. Not long after, Li Ru, who had left before, came back.

"Sent it out." Dong Zhuo said directly.

"Yes, Prime Minister." Li Ru replied respectfully.

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "During the period of my retreat, did those wealthy families do anything special?

"Report to the Prime Minister, except for the Yuan family of Grand Tutor Yuan Gui, the others have not made any big moves." Li Ru said quickly.

"Humph, if there is no big one, then there is a small one." Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and said, "What the hell is that old guy Yuan Wei doing?"

"Transfer assets." Li Ru said in a deep voice: "Since the two orders announced by the Prime Minister a month ago, Grand Tutor Yuan Gui has begun to secretly transfer the Yuan family's property in Luoyang."

"If we hadn't taken over important places such as shopping streets and cloth markets, we wouldn't have been able to detect this inconspicuous trick."

"Transfer property, hum. It seems that the Yuan family is ready to completely disrupt the Han Dynasty." Dong Zhuo said with a sneer.

"Why would the Prime Minister have such an idea? The Yuan family is the fourth generation and the third Duke!" Li Ru said in surprise.

"Tsk, in the face of a great opportunity, let alone the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes, twice as much kindness will not be of any use." Dong Zhuo said disdainfully.

"Look back and let people keep a close eye on you. Try to find a way to swallow the money secretly to avoid raising tigers in the future." Dong Zhuo said calmly.

"Yes, Prime Minister." Li Ru was a little confused, but said obediently.

Until now, there were some things that Dong Zhuo still couldn't tell Li Ru and others directly. Not only was it a matter of trust or distrust, but there were also some things that Dong Zhuo couldn't know or speak about.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo could only use Cao Cao and others in limited places and quietly occasionally, but he did not dare to make big moves.

Otherwise, in this immortal world with the evolution of luck and fortune, without concealing the secrets, as long as Dong Zhuo dares to take action, I am afraid that before he succeeds, curious people will come to his door in minutes, and what will follow is All kinds of detailed explorations.

At that time, Dong Zhuo could not guarantee that the peaceful identity he had gained by sleeping for decades would not reveal any flaws.
