Chapter 168 Save Buddhism

"I don't have any other abilities, but one thing is that I will never break my word."

Lu Wenqian frowned slightly, stared at Qu Yunchu with eyes as cold as a pool, and said in a very slow tone:

"Xitong's evil deeds almost ruined your reputation and harmed so many innocent creatures. Even though he has three heads and six arms, this time I will hunt him and his gang members out of heaven and earth, and make them angry for my wife."

From beginning to end, his eyes remained on Qu Yunchu, wanting to see her reaction again.

"I know what Second Master is capable of, but I'm afraid that sometimes things go against my wishes."

When Qu Yun first learned about his stubborn temper, he also deliberately sarcastically said: "Man cannot fight with the sky."

"It's interesting to fight against the sky."

Lu Wenqian laughed angrily, then lowered his head, unwilling to talk to her anymore.

Qu Yunchu could see his determination to suppress evil spirits this time, and he was so happy that he knelt down and kowtowed to him in thanks.

In this way, you will save yourself a lot of trouble.

She also smiled and fell silent. After returning to the house, she pretended not to care all day long, letting Lu Wenqian and Lu Yanchao's uncle and nephew mess around. She only sent a message to Jiuyun Mountain to prevent the contracted ghosts from being on the cusp of this storm. Get out and move.

……

Incidents of evil spirits and harming people in various places in Tanzhou City soon spread to Shangjing City.

On this day, Hongzhen accompanied Ming Zhao Emperor Lu Nanfeng to practice breathing and breathing in the newly built royal palace, but he heard that Zhang Jinnian was leading Liu Ke to seek an audience outside the palace.

Although Emperor Ming Zhao, who had not been to court for a long time, was very tired of this, he learned that it was the eunuch who asked for an audience, so he sent a young eunuch to bring the person in.

"I have recently been studying the elixir refining with the Imperial Master. Is there anything that the Chief Superintendent cannot handle on his own? Why do you insist on coming to this palace to disturb my purity?"

Emperor Ming Zhao looked at him dissatisfied, his words full of blame.

"This old slave is useless and cannot help your Majesty."

Zhang Jinnian knelt down in fear: "Your Majesty, please punish me."

"I don't want to blame you."

Emperor Ming Zhao was angry and ordered Liu Ke to help him up.

It had only been a month or two since I last saw him, and looking at Zhang Jinnian looking much older and haggard, I felt a bit sad.

"You handle the government affairs for me, so that I have less worries. There is hard work without merit. Even if there is something wrong, I can't bear to punish you."

Emperor Ming Zhao glanced at him impatiently: "Tell me, is there anything that you can't handle, Chief Superintendent, or are those sycophants from the Crescent Party making trouble for you again?"

"The Crescent Party does not obey the old slaves. After all, it is to share worries about national affairs. The old slaves do not blame them."

Zhang Jinnian secretly glanced at Hongzhen, who was still playing with the alchemy furnace as if nothing had happened, and carefully handed over the folder in his hand.

"Empress Hua returned to Tanzhou to visit her relatives. She heard that the counties in Tanzhou were invaded by evil spirits and that many people were killed. I would like to ask your majesty to grant a general amnesty to the world and open up a path of kindness to comfort the people."

"Evil?"

Emperor Ming Zhao looked at Hongzhen in confusion: "Master, what is this?"

Hongzhen felt helpless when he heard this.

When he entered the palace, Ben still had some illusions, thinking that he could save the young emperor.

However, after being in contact with him for several months, I found that this man was no longer able to be saved and was extremely comatose.

He thought that by grasping Zhang Jinnian and Mrs. Hua, he had grasped the lifeblood of the entire Dayue Dynasty.

Thinking of the catastrophe he suffered from Chou Wu, he now just wants to hang on to his life and try to get out of the palace as soon as he finds an opportunity to save Buddhism.

"The evil spirit is a very mysterious thing."

Hongzhen also glanced at Zhang Jinnian silently, and explained casually: "Your Majesty can understand it as an improper ghost."

"Irregular ghost?"

<divclass="contentadv">Emperor Ming Zhao still knew little about it and was too lazy to ask any more. He waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter whether they are serious or not, they are just ghosts. If there is anything difficult to deal with, just grab one or two and put them in the oil pan. Cook it and serve as a warning to others."

Zhang Jinnian and Hongzhen both looked embarrassed when they heard this.

I don’t know where the emperor heard this statement. Can ghosts still cook?

"Your Majesty, catch ghosts and exorcise them..."

Zhang Jinnian wanted to elaborate on the previous issue, but before he could explain, Emperor Ming Zhao waved his hand again: "That's all, the chief eunuch will discuss this matter with the wet nurse and handle it."

After finishing his words, he looked back at the alchemy furnace with great interest and asked anxiously: "Master, when will this immortality pill be ready?"

Hongzhen was speechless.

If all that was needed to achieve immortality in this world was to refine elixirs, then why would so many people have to work so hard as ascetics?

"You cannot become a saint without full merit. Refining elixirs often relies on chance."

Hongzhen recalled Zhang Jinnian's words just now in his mind, feeling rather strange.

Then why did Mrs. Hua use the evil spirit to ask the emperor for amnesty?

This old woman doesn't have such a broad plan.

"Give amnesty to the world and open the way for grace to comfort the people."

He immediately thought of these words.

If the emperor could be persuaded to grant amnesty to the world, wouldn't Buddhism be saved?

I don’t know who came up with this idea?

Could it be that he is his evil disciple?

After thinking about it carefully, Hongzhen became more sure and quickly said to Emperor Ming Zhao:

"Your Majesty, I am observing the sky at night. The Ziwei star has been fluctuating recently, and there are signs of rising. This is the best opportunity to become an elixir. However, at this time, evil spirits appear in Tanzhou and cause harm to the world. I am afraid that it is a sign from heaven that something will happen. Taibai is a taboo."

"Tabai is taboo?"

Emperor Ming Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly: "Since it is my good omen, the Ziwei star has fluctuated at this time. Could it be that I am in trouble?"

"It's a curse and a blessing."

Hongzhen smiled calmly: "Everything in the world often involves misfortunes and blessings. Your Majesty has already made a huge impact on the world within just three years after he ascended the throne. The national destiny of the Dayue Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years, but it was only won by His Majesty's reign. As the king has an opportunity to live forever, God will naturally set a test for your majesty."

Emperor Ming Zhao thought that this was indeed the case.

Several generations of kings have believed in immortality, but it is difficult for many people to reach the age of immortality.

Thinking of this, he asked excitedly: "According to the words of the National Master, what should we do now?"

Hongzhen glanced at Zhang Jinnian, knelt down devoutly, and said righteously: "Your Majesty, Buddha and Tao are always prosperous. Taoism is the form, Buddhism is the shadow, and the shadow is the foundation of the world. Only by relying on each other can Buddhism and Taoism purify the people's hearts and clear the world, and bring peace to the sea."

After a pause, he continued: "Your Majesty, please adopt the words of Empress Hua and the eunuch, and open up a wider path of kindness to comfort the people."

Emperor Ming Zhao heard signs that he was defending Buddhism, and his face was obviously unhappy.

"National Master, you are a member of the Taoist sect, why would you intercede on behalf of the Buddhist sect?"

Emperor Ming Zhao sneered and said: "Ever since Taizu denounced the ancestor Lan Hua, the entire Taoist sect has been lonely for hundreds of years. I have never heard of anyone from the Buddhist sect complaining on behalf of the Taoist sect. Now I depose the Buddhist sect and alone Isn’t it a good thing for the Taoist sect to be a national master and for the entire Taoist school?”

"The rise and fall, everyone is responsible."

Hongzhen replied: "Although I am a foreigner, I still hope that the world will be peaceful and the country will be prosperous."

"National destiny Yongchang?"

Emperor Ming Zhao's eyes suddenly sank, and he hid his sword in his smile: "Ancestor Lan Hua once revealed the secret of heaven and had a glimpse of the fate of the country of the previous dynasty. I see that the talent of the national teacher is not inferior to that of the ancestor, are you willing to do it for me? Will Dayue Dynasty explore the fate of the country for me?"
