Chapter 285: Chapter 285: InvincibleHengyuan thought for a moment and said, "I met Lord Xu in the Sangpo case. At that time, I was involved in the case because of Junior Brother Henghui. The golden gongs of the night watchman's office surrounded the hiding place of Junior Brother Henghui and me.....
"I thought that even if I could escape death, I would be imprisoned. I didn't expect that Lord Xu, the chief officer, would release me immediately after he found out that I was implicated and not an accomplice of Junior Brother Henghui."
Here, Hengyuan made some changes and concealed the fact that Xu Qi'an fooled him... Of course, Hengyuan still doesn't know that Xu Qi'an fooled him.
"He is still a good person! "Monk Jingchen snorted coldly.
But he is also a shameless person. Before, he asked the other party what kind of person Xu Qi'an was... Monk Jingchen recalled that he felt ashamed for Xu Qi'an, but he said it so frankly. It's not a question of whether he is a good person or not. How to say it, he has an indescribable personal charm... Hengyuan continued:
"After I left Qinglong Temple, I have been living in the Yangsheng Hall in the south city, where a group of homeless old people and children were taken in. When Lord Xu knew about it, he generously donated money to help them every now and then.
"You know, his monthly salary is only five taels of silver, and he was still a copper gong at the time. But he never complained, and comforted me that the silver was picked up.
"Oh, I secretly investigated him. He is different from all the night watchmen. He never abused his power for personal gain and oppressed the people. Did he save that silver by tightening his belt?"
Hearing this, Monk Jingchen fell silent.
He remembered Xu Qian'an's boasting that he had never taken a single needle or thread from the people.
Master Du'e did not comment, and said lightly: "Doing good deeds may not necessarily be a good person, people have thousands of faces."
Hengyuan frowned, feeling unhappy, and continued: "Then the disciple will tell the master uncle one more thing. Before the Sangpo case, he almost killed his superior who wanted to defile a girl he had never met, and he was imprisoned for this and was sentenced to beheading.
"If the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple had not been destroyed and the court was in urgent need of people, he would have died."
Master Du'e thought for a long time and asked again: "What is special about him?"
Special....... Hengyuan answered carefully: "Besides his extraordinary talent, he is a genius in martial arts, and there is nothing special about him."
Master Du'e seemed a little disappointed and nodded: "You go out and do your work."
Hengyuan clasped his hands together and left the room.
"Uncle Master, Hengyuan did not lie. It seems that Xu Qi'an is indeed a great man, although his way of doing things is annoying." Monk Jingchen said.
Whether as an official or as a person, Xu Qi'an is a kind person. Although there are some annoying slickness, this does not reduce the quality of the former.
Master Du'e said "hmm".
The handsome monk Jingsi immediately asked: "Then, will he have any connection with the evil creature?"
Master Du'e shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The behind-the-scenes pushers of this case are the remnants of the Wan Yao Kingdom, Emperor Yuan Jing and Jianzheng. The former worked but did not contribute, and the latter watched coldly. It has little to do with the silver gong. Since he is a good man, we don't need to make things difficult for him."
Jingchen snorted coldly: "Dafeng is untrustworthy and has repeatedly broken the contract. Why should we ally with them again? I don't know what the Arhats and Bodhisattvas think."
As a member of the Arhats, Master Du'e glanced at his nephew and said slowly: "The northern barbarians have the blood of the demon god, and they have been connected with the northern demons for thousands of years.
"There are many barbarian tribes in southern Xinjiang. The seven most powerful Gu tribes are also descendants of the demon god. The Northeast Wushen Sect already has a witch god who has surpassed the grade.
"If you want the land of Jiuzhou to be illuminated by the Buddha's light everywhere, you can only form an alliance with Dafeng."
You can only form an alliance with Dafeng... The two disciples Jingchen and Jingsi extracted an important message from their uncle's words:
The reason why Buddhism formed an alliance with Dafeng is that Dafeng has neither a transcendent existence nor any entanglement with the devil.
Of course, thousands of years ago, there was a transcendent existence in the Central Plains, a Confucian saint.
But there was no Dafeng at that time.
Retracting his thoughts, Jingchen tentatively asked: "Then what should we do next? Track down the traces of evil things? Dafeng, just let it go?"
Master Du'e smiled mysteriously: "I heard that recently because of the dispute between heaven and man in Taoism, many people from the rivers and lakes have poured into the
capital, and the government has built four arenas in the outer city.
"We will use two, Jingsi, you will fight against the warriors in the capital with your Vajra body. Jingchen, you can take any arena and recite scriptures and preach.
"As for me, since I'm here at Dafeng, I'll supervise for a while."
Master Du'e said, walked out of the room, looked at the setting sun in the west, and said leisurely: "The Central Plains has not known the power of my Buddhist sect for a long time."
At night, Xu Qi'an and his colleagues went to the Jiaofangsi together. Song Tingfeng, who was still the young man before, followed them shamelessly, including Li Yuchun, who said "the rocking sound of the Jiaofangsi is always uneven", and Yang Yan, who said "I just come to drink".
Fuxiang has deep feelings for Xu Qi'an. Every time he brings people to Yingmei Pavilion to play, he always shows up with a zither and performs a song.
Some of the courtesans who have a close relationship with Xu Qi'an also come to join in the fun, giving Xu Baipiao the opportunity to hug left and right.
But Xu Baipiao was not happy. When others were drinking until dawn, he was thinking:
Damn, this wave will cost me at least a hundred taels of silver.
He came to the Jiaofangsi to talk about love with the courtesans, which was a beautiful and cheerful occasion, without any vulgar money and sex transactions. But bringing so many colleagues to drink together, this cannot be free.
Even if Fuxiang is willing to pay for his "cost" out of his own pocket, Xu Qi'an, a man of seven feet tall, would never agree to such a thing if he doesn't take a single needle or thread from
the people.
Be careful when inviting guests in the future, especially to a brothel like the Jiaofangsi... I will try to ask Wei Gong to reimburse me tomorrow, and I hope he will sign the reimbursement form for my loyalty... Xu Qi'an forced a smile and raised his glass, saying:
"Drink, drink, don't be polite to me, I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight."
Get everyone drunk, so that I can save money on sleeping with women!
As a result, the group of warriors did not get drunk until late at night. Xu Qi'an had to end the banquet with a smile on his face and a frown in his heart, saying:
"In order to let my boss sleep well, everyone must listen to the instructions when rocking the bed at night, rock to the rhythm, and don't be out of tune."
Li Yuchun: ".

The next day, Xu Qi'an rode Erlang's mount and rushed back to the government office at full
speed. He came to Yidaotang, picked up his pen and grinded... and asked the clerk to write an
expense report.
Number of participants in this social event: 21.
Project: Sing praises to the court and Duke Wei (drinking and having fun with Sleeping
Beauty).
Expenses: 164 taels and 3 coins.
After writing the note, Xu Qi'an pondered for a moment and thought that Xu Yinluo was a man
of honor, so he asked the clerk to do it for him and send it to Haoqi Tower.
Not long after, the clerk returned and reported: "Mr. Wei said that the note was not written by
you and lacked sincerity."
Huh... This shows that Wei Yuan was dissatisfied, but was willing to reimburse me. Ha, rest assured, Mr. Wei, I will definitely go through fire and water for you and repay your great
kindness!
Xu Qian'an immediately wrote a reimbursement form, dried the ink, folded it, and asked the
clerk to run again.
Not long after, the clerk came back, and Wei Yuan's reply was: No approval!
.... Are you kidding me! Xu Qian'an was angry and asked: "What did Mr. Wei say?"
The clerk hesitated for a long time and said cautiously: "Does it count as laughing at your
ugly handwriting?"
Wei Yuan nmsl... Xu Qian'an angrily kicked the clerk out.
......
After the Spring Examination, the next most concerned thing should have been the palace
examination a month later.
The four words "name on the gold list" have been able to move people's hearts since ancient
times.
From the common people in the countryside to the emperor, all of them attached great importance to the imperial examination.
However, in the 37th year of Yuanjing, there were many troubles. First, there was the dispute
between heaven and man in Taoism, which happened once every sixty years. Isn't it more
attractive than the imperial examination?
Later, the Western Regions delegation entered Beijing and caused a sensation again.
There were few Buddhist temples in Dafeng, and Buddhist monks were rare, but the legends
of Buddhist masters were circulated in Dafeng.
What reincarnation, what immortality after death, what relics breaking all laws, etc.
People in the world had a strong curiosity about Buddhism, and the Western Regions delegation did not disappoint them. The next day, a young and handsome monk came to the arena in the south city.
He spoke out that he wanted to learn from the masters of the Central Plains martial arts with
the Vajra magic of Buddhism.
On the same day, many heroes in the world attacked him, but no one could break the Vajra
body, and they left sadly.
In the North City, which faces the South City, there is also a Western monk occupying the arena, but he is not challenging the masters of Dafeng, but giving a lecture.
The people in the city flocked to listen to the monk's teachings, and were intoxicated. There were prodigals crying bitterly, villains repenting, and a male who had been the only heir for several generations had a great enlightenment and wanted to become a monk to practice... Various rumors were circulated in the market, which were very strange. More and more people
gathered to listen to the Dharma.
In the inner city, there is a restaurant. Several tables of Jianghu people talked about the Western Regions Buddhism. At first, it was
just a casual chat between two people. Gradually, more and more people joined in, and later even ordinary people who were eating joined in the topic.
"It's been three days, and the little monk has never been defeated. Don't you Jianghu people boast of your great skills? How come you can't even beat a little monk?"
"What do you, an ordinary commoner, know? That's an ordinary little monk? That's a high
monk from the Western Regions. People from the Western Regions Buddhism, even if they are children, should not be underestimated."
"So that's how it is. The Western Regions Buddhism is really powerful. Compared with it, my
Dafeng is far behind."
"Humph, isn't it said that the night watchman is the guardian of the capital? Each of the ten
golden gongs is a top-notch master. Why didn't you see the night watchman take action?"
"You outsiders don't know that the night watchman is also very good at dealing with officials, but he becomes a weak shrimp when facing outsiders." A citizen of the capital said disdainfully.
Instead, a Jianghu person was unhappy and retorted: "Nonsense, a few days ago I saw a Yinluo with my own eyes, who only struck a knife and injured a sixth-rank master."
In response, the Beijing citizen said: "But didn't you just say that even children in the Western
Buddhist sect should not be underestimated. Can our Dafeng warriors be compared with
them?" "That's true. This hero has been in the Jianghu for many years and has never seen such a powerful copper-skinned and iron-boned, shining with golden light. He is worthy of being a Western master."
On the second floor, Mr. Liu withdrew his gaze from the guardrail and said indignantly: "A bunch of frogs in the well! Master, what's wrong with the little monk's body?" "That is the unique body-building magic of Buddhism, which is far from comparable to the copper-skinned and iron-boned of the sixth rank." The middle-aged swordsman sighed. "The gods are fighting, and we just watch the excitement on the side." The beautiful woman
smiled.
Young Master Liu was unwilling to give up. He stared at his future sword, which was now his master's sword, and said, "Can this magic weapon from the Sitianjian break his body?" The middle-aged swordsman sneered and disdained to answer his disciple's naive question. Miss Rongrong, who was heavily made up but not vulgar, frowned and said:
"In the past three days, most of the people who came to the stage to compete were from the
martial arts world. Occasionally, there were a few masters from the government, but their cultivation was not very high. Why didn't the high-level warriors take action?"
"You also said that he was a high-level warrior." The middle-aged beautiful woman shook
her head and said:
"We went to see the little monk yesterday. His cultivation was not high, but he was invincible relying on the Vajra Divine Art. High-level warriors naturally have their own pride. It is not glorious to win. If they spend more time to break the flesh body... it would be embarrassing." The middle-aged swordsman nodded and added: "This is also the reason why the court did not send masters to come forward. The other party let a little monk set up a challenge, and the
court hurriedly sent high-level warriors to suppress him. Who is more embarrassing? As a dignified Dafeng, you should have this bit of tolerance."
"So you can only suffer in silence?" Young Master Liu frowned. Although he usually walks around the world, calling officials a dog and the emperor a fool,
this is his own business.
Once an outsider comes to smear Dafeng, Master Liu immediately feels a sense of sympathy.
"Then it depends on whether Dafeng has a young generation of masters." The middle-aged swordsman drank.
At the same time, in the South City, in a restaurant.
Xu Qian'an, wearing a silver gong uniform, stood on the observation deck, watching the fight
on the ring. On his left was the blue-shirted swordsman Chu Yuanzhen, and on his right was the burly and tall 'Lu Zhishen' Hengyuan.
At this time, the one fighting with the young monk Jingsi was a young white-clothed swordsman, who had a good cultivation and was at the peak of the Qi training realm. It was unknown which famous sect he was from.
The swordsmanship used by this white-clothed swordsman was treacherous and unpredictable, and he specialized in attacking the vital points of the monk Jingsi. The young monk Jingsi did not move at all, letting the iron sword chop and create flashes of
fire on his body, occasionally reaching out to fiddle with the insidious moves that pierced his crotch and eyes. Sёarᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Although his body was invincible, his clothes were not, and he still had to keep his belt. After hundreds of moves, the young man in white was exhausted, and had no choice but to put
away his sword, clasping his fists and saying, "I admit defeat!"
There was a chorus of boos from the audience, and both the people of Beijing and the people
of the martial arts world were very disappointed.
"This seems to be the senior brother of Butterfly Sword." Xu Qian'an pointed to a pretty and
heroic female knight at the edge of the ring and said.
The "Butterfly Sword" of Luya Sword Pavilion is one of the four beauties of the martial arts
world, along with Miss Rongrong, the Thousand-Faced Female Thief, and the female swordsman of the Double Sword Gate.
She is indeed handsome, a beauty that makes people's eyes light up. Hearing the voice, Hengyuan and Chu Yuanzhen looked at her for a few times, and then
looked away without any meaning.
"Master Hengyuan, this is the unique body-building method of the Western Buddhist sect, which belongs to the martial monk system." Chu Yuanzhen said, "Aren't you jealous?" "Of course I am jealous," Hengyuan said.
Xu Qian'an's heart moved when he heard it. The body-building method performed by the
young monk Jingsi is a body-building method that can be comparable to copper skin and iron bones without cooking or beating?
"I am jealous too." Xu Qian'an swallowed his saliva. Hengyuan glanced at him, "The Diamond Sutra is not something that ordinary people can
cultivate. People without the foundation of Buddhism cannot cultivate it. Unless they are born with Buddha roots."
Is this Buddha root you are talking about a real Buddha root... Xu Qian'an complained in his
heart.
"Little monk, I will meet you."
At this time, a burly man squeezed out of the crowd and jumped onto the stage.
There was a divine light flashing on the body of this man that ordinary people could not see
with their naked eyes. He was a warrior of the copper skin and iron bones realm. The onlookers who had just booed in disappointment suddenly became excited. The little monk from the Western Regions had been showing off his power on the stage for
three days, and finally attracted a master of the Copper Skin and Iron Bones Realm. "It's going to be a good show." Xu Qian'an said with a smile. After that, he glanced at the crowd and was surprised to find an "old acquaintance". An old lady wearing a cloth skirt, a thorn hairpin in her hair, dressed simply, and with a rather
plump figure.
Her face was serious, staring at the stage without blinking.
