Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

Chu Xiong snorted: "You are the one who started it, right?"

If it weren't for Ling'er's urging, Fakong probably wouldn't have written to me, let alone met me.

Chu Ling admitted frankly: "I see you two are really tired of guessing, it's better to meet and talk it out."

Chu Xiong said unhappily: "You are so nosy!"

Chu Ling curled her red lips and snorted: "Father, don't you think you are childish? Why can't you talk about things face to face? You have to guess and guess. Suspicion is sown in this way, and it gets deeper and deeper."

"You are too naive!" Chu Xiong shook his head and said: "You..., you still haven't experienced the world and don't know that people are treacherous."

"Father!" Chu Ling snorted: "If you say that people are treacherous, I can't say for others, but Fakong is definitely not that treacherous. Even if he is not that compassionate, he will not deliberately harm others, nor will he harm others for his own benefit. He is a very fair person."

"So, father, I am treacherous, right?"

"Hehe, that's hard to say."

Chu Xiong widened his eyes: "You girl!"

Chu Ling didn't care about his expression change at all, and waved his hand: "Okay, father, just say whether you want to meet or not?"

"..."Chu Xiong pondered.

Chu Ling narrowed her eyes and chuckled.

Chu Xiong stared at her.

Chu Ling smiled and said, "Father, are you afraid?"

"What am I afraid of!" Chu Xiong was immediately dissatisfied.

Chu Ling smiled and said, "You are afraid of meeting him, right?"

"Let go... what..." Chu Xiong was about to curse, but he couldn't say the last word. He held back his anger and snorted, "What's there to be afraid of!"

Chu Ling felt that he was childish and stubborn like a child: "Since there is nothing to be afraid of, why can't we meet?"

"I just think it's a waste of words and time." Chu Xiong snorted, "It's useless. Some things can't be explained."

"What can't be explained?" Chu Ling shook his head and said, "It's obviously a very simple matter, but it's made very complicated."

"Where is it simple?!" Chu Xiong snorted, "It involves the general situation of the world, the country, how can it be simple?"

"Things in the world are originally very simple." Chu Ling said, "Aren't you just worried that he will betray us?"

"...That's right."

"Ask him in person and make him swear that he will never betray." Chu Ling said, "Of course, he has always been fair. If he makes him swear, he will have to pay a certain price."

"If he can really swear, the price doesn't matter." Chu Xiong said.

"That's it." Chu Ling clapped her hands and laughed.

"He will definitely take the opportunity to ask for a high price." Chu Xiong frowned.

Chu Ling shook her head and laughed.

Chu Xiong snorted: "You girl, you are so stubborn, what are you laughing at!"

"You just said that the price doesn't matter." Chu Ling laughed: "Now you start to care about it, father, you are too greedy!"

"...Okay, let him make the conditions." Chu Xiong snorted: "Let him take it easy and don't mess around."

"...You should talk to each other face to face." Chu Ling thought for a while: "Let's make it clear face to face, so as to avoid the trouble of passing it back and forth."

"Let's make it clear first." Chu Xiong said: "It's not too late to meet again."

Chu Ling stared at Chu Xiong with her bright eyes without blinking.

Chu Xiong was frightened by her gaze.

Chu Ling smiled and said, "Father, you are afraid of his magical powers and his telepathy, right? So you don't want to meet him to negotiate terms, right?"

"...Yes." Chu Xiong snorted, "If we talk to him face to face, he will definitely eat us up."

Even if I wear a treasure, it is hard to guarantee that it will work. He is becoming more and more unpredictable now.

After meeting, he can see everything I think and think clearly. What else can I talk about?

More importantly, I don't want him to know my innermost thoughts.

Chu Ling's eyes flickered, thinking: "Father, you don't want to get rid of him, do you?"

She looked innocent, but not really innocent. She had seen the human heart and ghost realm, and she would not think too highly of the human heart.

Father has always been so afraid of Fakong, so has he never had the intention to kill him?

I'm afraid not.

According to Father's temperament, he must have thought about it many times, and it would be the simplest and best way to get rid of all troubles.

It's just because he can't do it.

Or he can't do it for the time being.

When she thought of this, her eyes sparkled.

Chu Xiong avoided her gaze.

Chu Ling knew that her guess was correct and frowned, "Father, do you really want to kill him?"

"No." Chu Xiong waved his hand.

Chu Ling snorted, "Do you still want to kill him now?"

"If you can really kill him, it is indeed the easiest." Chu Xiong said, "But I want to use him more."

As long as I can suppress him with my cultivation, and with the Great Snow Mountain in hand, I don't have to worry about Fakong not helping at the critical moment.

Chu Ling said, "Father, it's best if you think so... Then when will we meet?"

Chu Xiong thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "Tonight, at Wanfa Temple."

"Wanfa Temple?" Chu Ling was surprised.

She originally thought that it would be at Lingkong Temple or the outer courtyard of Vajra Temple, but she didn't expect it to be at Wanfa Temple.

Where is Wanfa Temple?

She searched in her mind and finally gave up.

She had indeed never heard of this temple.

Chu Xiong said: "You haven't been there. Wanfa Temple is in the west of the city. It's a small temple. The abbot is a person with profound knowledge of Buddhism."

"Is he also a high monk?"

"Yes."

"How is his cultivation? Do you have supernatural powers? Can you cast Buddhist mantras?"

"... My cultivation level is ordinary. I don't have magical powers and I can't cast Buddhist spells. If you have nothing to do, just leave. Father, I'm still busy."

"Okay, I'll go then." Chu Ling glanced at Long An and said, "Father, don't drink ginseng tea alone, it's easy to get angry."

Chu Xiong waved his hand.

Chu Ling said: "Didn't you drink the spiritual tea I asked for for you?"

Chu Xiong said proudly: "My dear father, I accept it, but there is no better tea in the world than tribute tea."

Chu Ling curled her red lips: "Fakong planted this himself in the medicine valley. I didn't tell my father before because I was afraid that you wouldn't drink it."

Chu Xiong frowned: "Fakong's tea?"

Chu Ling said: "This is real spiritual tea. If you really don't want to drink it, then return it to me and don't ruin it."

"Okay, let me try it." Chu Xiong was suddenly moved.

Chu Ling had previously only said that he picked the tea from outside and asked him to try it, but did not tell the specific origin.

He happily accepted it, but had no intention of drinking it. He wanted to keep it and put it on display so that he could feel happy when he took a look at it.

Now that I know that the tea was grown by Fakong himself, I have the idea of ​​giving it a try.

"Then I'm going." Chu Ling was as light as a deer and jumped out of the Humble Administrator's Hall.

Chu Xiong withdrew his gaze and said loudly: "Jiao Quan, go get the tea and make a cup to taste."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jiao Quan agreed respectfully.

——

The sun sets in the sky.

The sky is filled with colorful clouds.

The city of Shenjing is becoming more and more prosperous and lively.

The Wanfa Temple in the west corner of Shenjing City is shrouded in tranquility and sunset.

"Dong...dong...dong...dong..."

The sound of evening drums sounded, making the place look more and more peaceful.

Chu Ling and Chu Xiong stood outside the gate of Wanfa Temple, looking at the slightly dilapidated temple in front of them.

The wall tiles are filled with vicissitudes of life, retaining the traces of time.

Chu Ling turned to look at Chu Xiong.

There was doubt in his eyes.

Chu Xiong said slowly: "This is it."

"How did Father discover this place?" Chu Ling asked curiously.

Chu Xiong said: "I studied Buddhism a while ago and found out that although the temple is in ruins, there are eminent monks."

There are three thousand Buddhist sects, some of which start with fame and wealth to promote Buddhism, and some of which transcend the world of mortals.

This Wanfa Temple is indifferent to fame and fortune.

"It's really difficult for my father." Chu Ling said with a smile.

Why does my father study Buddhism?

It must be to deal with Fa Kong.

Chu Xiong said: "Go in."

There were no guards around him, neither the Forbidden Palace guards nor the Hidden Dragon Guards were there, only their father and daughter came.

Chu Ling stepped forward and knocked on the door.

A young gray-robed monk opened the door, titheed, stepped back without saying a word, and made room.

Chu Ling and Chu Xiong stepped into the courtyard and walked slowly to the main hall. They saw Fakong, dressed in purple and gold cassock, bowing at the foot of the hall steps.

Fa Kong was bowing respectfully to the golden Buddha statue in the Mahavira Hall.

He turned around and He Shi smiled at Chu Xiong: "I have met the emperor."

Chu Xiong looked at him calmly and said, "Fakong, your cultivation has indeed greatly improved."

When I saw Fakong again, it felt like it had been years, but in fact it was only more than a month.

Chu Ling said: "Father, do you want to find a place to talk?"

She turned around and looked around, but she didn't see the monk.

It seems that there are no monks in the huge Wanfa Temple, and the drums were played just now.

Fakong smiled and said: "They started to do evening classes, they are all in the sutra hall at the back."

"No need to find a place." Chu Xiong waved his hand: "Just talk here, it's just a matter of a few words."

Fakong smiled and said: "The emperor's style is still the same, which is gratifying."

"There's no need to say these falsehoods. It's really gratifying that your cultivation has improved so quickly." Chu Xiong looked Fakong up and down.

He looked calm and was extremely shocked.

Fakong no longer conceals his cultivation like last time, but he has reached the ultimate state of unity between heaven and man.

I originally thought that I had improved and improved and was strong enough, but I still fell far behind.

At such an age, in such a short period of time, he has reached this stage. Is this the power of a supernatural power?

Normal situations are absolutely impossible!

Fakong smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chu Xiong restrained his strange emotions and said in a deep voice: "You know the current situation, right?"

Fakong nodded slightly.

"Will Dayun continue to fight?" Chu Xiong asked.

Without the trouble of Zhen Longyuan, how could there be so many masters in Dayun and not take action?

Fakong said slowly: "I have already thought of ways to postpone it."

"Then there will eventually be a fight?"

Fakong said: "Now we can only postpone it. It may change in the future, but it may not change the general trend."

Chu Xiong frowned: "Then we have to be prepared for a fight. Once the fight starts, we have no chance of winning."

This is my most fundamental worry.

Good birds roost on trees.

If Da Gan is bound to fail, will Fa Kong sacrifice his life to serve Da Gan?

This is simply not expected.

Fakong said: "I have been thinking of ways to increase our chances of winning. So far, it is not a inevitable defeat."

Chu Xiong perked up.

Chu Ling smiled and said: "So, Fakong, you have done a lot of things silently?"

Fakong smiled and said calmly: "After all, I am a Dagan person. How could I watch Dagan fall?"

Chu Xiong's face brightened slightly.

Regardless of whether this sentence is true or false, it is very comfortable to listen to.

Fakong looked at Chu Xiong: "What I want is for the world to be peaceful and live a stable life. I don't want to be a person in troubled times, and I don't want Daqian to fall into the hands of a foreign country."

Chu Xiong's expression eased and he nodded slowly.

But Fa Kong knew that Chu Xiong would not completely believe it.
