Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Don’t Kneel

Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Don’t KneelAfter a thunderclap in the sky, there was no movement, the rolling clouds and mist dissipated, and correspondingly, the Buddha light on Du'e Arhat's body converged.

He opened his eyes, and the light of wisdom burst out from his eyes, and then converged in an instant.

Du'e Arhat saw the Buddhist disciples, who were still pondering and fell into a wonderful state. In Buddhism, this is the process of enlightenment.

What the eyes see, what the ears hear, the heart has enlightenment.

Of course, this is a world away from Master Du'e's enlightenment.

Du'e Arhat did not disturb the disciples' enlightenment, but put his hands together and said loudly: "The saint said that there is no age in learning, and those who achieve it are immortals. This is the ultimate truth.

"Although Mr. Xu is not a Buddhist, he has a great Buddha root, which makes me suddenly enlightened and my thoughts sublimate. This just proves the truth that everyone has Buddha nature, and everyone can become a Buddha by seeing the self.

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Xu, which has helped me understand Mahayana Buddhism. Mr. Xu should be my teacher. You have won the third level."

Ordinary people could not understand the profound Buddhist theory. They extracted the core meaning from the words of the Arhat Du'e:

Mr. Xu is awesome, Mr. Xu is my teacher, Mr. Xu, you have passed the third level.

"Just now, this Buddhist monk seemed to say: Mr. Xu should be my teacher?"

In the front row, a man dressed as a scholar said stutteringly.

My teacher?

The martial artists were excited.

For a long time, martial artists have been despised by major systems. They violated the rules with force, and crude martial artists only relied on violence to destroy and kill people.

Except for being useful in war, they are useless at other times and occasions, and are instead a destabilizing factor in the society of Jiuzhou.

And now, a Buddhist monk, a second-grade Arhat, actually said that a martial artist "should be my teacher."

The people in the martial arts world around him were so proud of this that they wanted to shout to the sky.

"The whole Dafeng martial arts world should remember the name Xu Qiyan. He is a true martial artist."

"The martial arts system finally has a capable person. I have been in the martial arts world for many years, but I have never seen such a martial artist respected as a master by the top masters of other systems."

"When I return to my hometown, I will spread this matter widely. This trip to the capital is worthwhile and I have learned a lot."

"That's right. When I go back to my hometown and drink with relatives and friends in the future, I can talk about it for three days and three nights... Suddenly I can't wait to go home."

In a corner, the charming woman reluctantly withdrew her gaze from Xu Qiyan, turned her head, and looked at her proud disciple - the soul-stirring Rongrong.

"Rongrong, I have inquired about it. This Lord Xu... um, is a frequent visitor of the Music Bureau."

Rongrong, who was heavily made up but not vulgar, bit her lip and looked back at the woman: "Master, what do you want to say?"

"We are children of the rivers and lakes, and we don't care about status." The beautiful woman said faintly: "Rongrong, with your looks, it's reluctant for you to be Lord Xu's wife, but your status is not enough. Being a concubine is no problem."

"I..."

Rongrong wanted to refuse, but the man was too dazzling, so dazzling that a woman like her who was proud of her beauty couldn't help but be moved.

........

Xu Qian'an climbed the steps and didn't encounter any more checkpoints along the way. He walked to the end of the steps and stepped into the small square outside the temple on the top of the mountain.

This is a single-family temple with a straight roof and flying eaves. There is no side hall or wing room, only a main hall.

"The temple should be the last level. I remember Du'e Luohan said that if you still refuse to convert to Buddhism after entering the temple, then Buddhism will lose..."

Instantly, Xu Qian'an recalled the 108 moves taught by the courtesans of the Jiaofang Division in his mind, which polluted his heart and dyed the whole person with the color exclusive to the royal family.

After confirming that he had become an old pervert, he nodded with satisfaction, pushed open the door of the temple and entered the hall.

Seeing this scene, Du'e Luohan put his hands together and said: "After entering this temple, even if you are a stone, you can be enlightened and convert to Buddhism."

What does this mean?

Everyone frowned when they heard it, and then remembered the theme of this fight: converting to Buddhism.

The Western Regions delegation not only wants to win the Tianji Plate, but also wants the fighter to convert to Buddhism and severely embarrass Dafeng.

"Stinky monk, I want to see the situation in the temple." Bian Bian stood up suddenly, her charming and affectionate peach blossom eyes rarely bloomed with ruthlessness, and she said

angrily:

"Who knows what dirty tricks you Buddhists have set up in there to harm my silver gong."

She didn't believe that Xu Qi'an would become a monk, but the Buddhist methods were strange, and it was possible to force "conversion". Unable to see the scene in the temple, Bian Bian kept imagining that Xu Qi'an was harmed.

She couldn't help it all of a sudden.

"Since it is a battle of magic, it should be bright and clear. Du'e Arhat, please show us the

scene in the temple." Huai Qing said coldly.

The nobles in the pergola spoke one after another.

"That makes sense!"

Du'e Arhat folded his hands and smiled, waved his wide sleeves, and the Buddhist scene switched, and everyone saw the hall with swaying candlelight.

In the hall, a six-foot golden statue sat cross-legged, and the top of his head almost touched

the top of the hall.

This Buddha statue has thick and drooping ears, a face like a golden plate, half-closed eyes, and seems to have a compassionate smile, but it also reveals an indescribable majesty that

goes straight to the heart.

When people see it, they can't help but put their hands together and salute.

"There are two statues in the temple. This one is the Vajra statue. Donor Xu, the secret of the Diamond Sutra is in the golden body. If you can comprehend it, you can cultivate the Buddhist

Vajra Invincible."

The voice of Master Du'e came in.

The Diamond Sutra is in the Dharma Image.......Xu Qi'an's eyes suddenly became hot. He has always been envious of the Vajra magical power of Buddhism. If he can cultivate this body- protecting magic skill, he will be invincible in the sixth-grade warrior realm. Moreover, with this magic skill, Xu Qi'an's last shortcoming will be made up. After chopping a knife, the exhausted Lord Xu threw the knife away, lay on the ground, and said to the enemy: Come up, move yourself.

No wonder the supervisor insisted on asking me to represent the Sitianjian in the battle... Supervisor, is all this within your expectations?

Xu Qi'an was excited, but he also felt a chill down his spine. The supervisor was too scary.

Outside, after hearing what Du'e Arhat said, the warriors present suddenly brightened their eyes and looked up at the Buddha statue, wishing they could pop their eyes out and stick them to the Buddha statue.

Xu Qi'an sat cross-legged on the cushion, raised his head, and examined the Vajra Dharma.

Du'e Arhat was looking at him. The Vajra Magic Skill was only suitable for warrior monks. Monks who practiced Buddhism could not master the Vajra Magic Skill unless they reached the

Arhat realm.

Du'e Arhat was painting a pie in the sky for him to pave the way for Xu Qi'an to join Buddhism.

Du'e Arhat was a Buddhist who was born with wisdom. No matter what, Du'e Arhat would take him into the Buddhist sect and make him a disciple.

This was not only because he valued his talent, but also because Xu Qi'an was the founder of Mahayana Buddhism, and Du'e Arhat wanted to be the founder of Mahayana Buddhism.

In this way, if we want to better promote the concept of Mahayana Buddhism and transform Hinayana into Mahayana Buddhism, Xu Qiyan's existence is crucial.

Xu Qiyan, the pioneer who proposed the concept of Dafeng Buddhism, must join Buddhism, so that he can show "orthodoxy".

The Diamond Sutra is in the Buddha statue? What a mess, it's obviously not there... Xu Qiyan stared at the Buddha statue for a quarter of an hour, without blinking, his eyes were almost

sore.

I am indeed a crude warrior without the root of Buddha... He laughed at himself in his heart.

Suddenly, a warm current surged in his abdomen, starting from the Dantian, passing through the middle Dantian, and entering the upper Dantian, and the center of his eyebrows suddenly shook, like a plastic film being pulled open.

The Buddha statue in front of him has changed......

It still sits cross-legged, but the Buddha rhyme flows around it, and a mysterious Zen meaning is displayed in front of Xu Qiyan.

Surprisingly, he understood the Zen meaning and the Buddhist rhyme contained in the

Dharma.

Yes, yes... are you helping me?!

The thought flashed through his mind, and Xu Qi'an unconsciously changed his sitting

posture, clasped his hands together, and half-closed his eyes, exactly like the Buddha statue.

This process lasted for an unknown period of time. Suddenly, a spot of gold paint appeared between his eyebrows, and then quickly spread, as if an invisible pen was outlining his body. In a few breaths, Xu Qi'an's whole body was shining with golden light, just like a golden body.

Du'e Luohan was stunned.

"He, how did he turn into a golden body?!"

"This, this... really converted to Buddhism?"

Seeing this scene, the common people almost collapsed, their faces collapsed instantly, and

one by one, like a punctured balloon, they collapsed, and there was no joy and pride before.

This adult went through three levels, making Dafeng the center of the limelight and making the people of the capital proud. As a result, he was finally "converted" by Buddhism. The effect of this slap from Buddhism was really too cruel.

"Invincible Vajra, he has achieved Invincible Vajra!" A sharp cry suddenly broke out in the

crowd.

It was a man dressed as a Jianghu person. He pointed at Xu Qian'an excitedly, his lips trembling constantly.

"What is Invincible Vajra? Didn't he convert to Buddhism?"

The people around the man hurriedly asked.

"Of course not, not only did he not convert to Buddhism, but he cultivated the Buddhist magic

skill - Invincible Vajra." The man dressed as a Jianghu person explained, dancing and

laughing wildly:

"Stealing a chicken but losing the rice, haha, hahaha! This Buddhist is stealing a chicken but losing the rice, this Yinluo is a natural talent, a natural talent.

"Given time, it may be possible to surpass the King of Zhenbei and become the number one

warrior in Dafeng."

The noise suddenly became like a flood, surging and churning. The common people who did not know how to practice were relieved and laughed again.

It turned out that it was not the young genius of Dafeng who converted to Buddhism, but that

he had cultivated the golden body of Buddhism.

Given time, he might be able to surpass the King of Zhenbei... The woman beside Xu Xinnian

moved her ears when she heard this, raised her head, and stared at Xu Qi'an with a

complicated expression.

Liar, how could anyone in Dafeng surpass the King of Zhenbei in martial arts.

In the same area, the nine Jinluo felt like they had eaten a lemon, and their stomachs were

churning with sourness. As powerful as they were as fourth-grade warriors, they were also drooling over the King Kong Invincible.

When the difference in combat power was not big, whoever was the toughest would win. King Kong Invincible... Wei Yuan frowned, and then smiled.

He did not pursue the inside story. As long as Xu Qi'an could make great progress in martial

arts, it was good to be confused.

The civil officials' reaction was okay, after all, they were not martial artists, and they were

impressed by Xu Qi'an's terrifying talent.

The military generals' eyes were wide open, and they felt jealous, both Xu Qi'an and Wei Yuan.

Such an outstanding martial arts seed was actually won by Wei Yuan.

"Dad, after today, maybe you will not be a son anymore." Xu Xinnian whispered.

Xu Ershu, who was happy, turned his head and asked in surprise: "Why?" "Because you have cultivated a martial arts genius like my big brother." Xu Xinnian laughed,

"In the future, anyone who practices martial arts will give you a thumbs up."

"Hahaha." Xu Ershu laughed out loud.

Xu Lingyue straightened her chest, which had begun to take shape, and was proud of it. This

was her big brother.

"Hehehe." Lin'an curved his eyebrows.

"Don't be happy too early, there is still a statue. "Huaiqing said in a deep voice.

On the rooftop of the restaurant, Hengyuan was envious: "Vajra Magic..."

"It's stable." Chu Yuanzhen patted the big bald man's shoulder and said with a smile: "Go

back and ask Xu Ningyan for Vajra Invincibility. Your path as a martial monk can go further, and it is not impossible to be promoted to the third-grade Vajra."

The people outside heard every word of the conversation between the obsessed old monk and

Xu Qian'an. With Chu Yuanzhen's wisdom, it is not difficult to guess that the next level of the eighth-grade martial monk is the third-grade Vajra.

Amid cheers and encouragement, Du'e Arhat chanted the Buddha's name, and his voice with a

slight smile spread throughout the audience: "This level is called Shura's Heart."

Shura's heart?

The sound waves gradually subsided, and a group of eyes moved away from the Foshan Secret

Realm and looked at Master Du'e. Among them were Wei Yuan and Wang Shoufu, as well as

Emperor Yuan Jing on the top floor of the Star Observatory.

"This is a story from my Buddhist sect..." Du'e Arhat told the story.

According to legend, when Buddha founded his school in the Western Regions, the Western

Regions were occupied by a group of barbarians called "Ashura". The Asuras were brutal and aggressive, and ate raw meat and drank blood.

In order to compete for territory, they slaughtered Buddhist monks wantonly. After Buddha knew about it, he personally came to the territory of the Asuras, meditated for

three days and three nights, and never fought back.

The cruel Asuras immediately attacked with swords and spears. With one cut, the skin and flesh were torn and blood was dripping, but the flesh and blood could be heard clanging.

After two cuts, the skin and flesh were torn, and golden light shone in the flesh and blood. After 3,600 cuts, Buddha shed his flesh and blood and showed a golden body. During the three days and three nights of chopping, the Asuras realized themselves, had a great enlightenment, and from then on let go of the desire to kill and converted to Buddhism. The common people who were watching listened with great interest, but the powerful officials such as Wang Shoufu and the hereditary nobles changed their faces.

Of course there would be no Buddha in the temple, but since this level was named "Ashura Questioning the Heart", the effect must be the same as the Buddha's conversion of the Asuras. Even the cruel Asuras who ate raw meat and drank blood could be converted, but why couldn't Xu Qiyan be converted?

At the same time, in the temple, the narrow-eyed Vajra Dharma image suddenly opened his

eyes.

In an instant, the majesty of Buddhism was like a landslide and a tsunami, engulfing Xu Qiyan with overwhelming power.

The Buddha's light that Xu Qiyan saw, the boundless Buddha's light, did not make people feel

peaceful, but instead gave people a sense of overbearing and unreasonableness.

It instantly crushed his will and changed his heart.

"The eight sufferings of life are meaningless. Joining Buddhism is the only destination..."

"I am the founder of Mahayana Buddhism. Buddhism is more suitable for my development."

"Why are you hesitating? Are you really willing to be a crude warrior?"

One thought after another flashed through his mind, telling of the various benefits of

Buddhism, but Xu Qi'an still felt that it made sense.

People's thoughts will change, and it may take a long time to change, but at this moment, Xu

Qi'an changed his mind in a short moment.

He began to yearn for Buddhism and the Dharma.

Even the courtesans of the Jiaofang Division were not interested.

In full view of the crowd, Xu Qi'an stood up, slowly drew out the black gold long sword, and

with his other hand, pressed on the mink hat...... Damn, I can't take it off, I can't take it off!

The huge sense of shame made him find a little "self".

Draw the sword, take off the hat... This is to shave himself, but he has no hair. If he takes off

the mink hat, his big braised egg will be exposed to thousands of people.

"It is the most correct decision I have ever made to visit Dafeng." The smiling voice of Du'e Arhat sounded, and one could feel his joy at the moment just by

listening to his voice: "Once you suddenly realize the Mahayana Buddhism, you will get a Buddhist child with natural wisdom. Amitabha, may God bless Buddhism." Everyone was furious.

There was no scolding, because everyone was concentrating on watching Xu Qiyan, holding

their breath nervously. Anyone could see that Xu Qiyan was struggling and fighting against

"Shura Questioning Heart".

"Hold on, hold on..." Bian Bian muttered, her delicate little hands tightly twisting the hem of

her skirt.

Huaiqing's pupils slightly dilated, she had an idea in her mind, an extremely clear idea, and

this idea turned into two words: Don't.

Xu Pingzhi stood up, clenched his fists, as if he was exerting force with his nephew.

"You don't seem to care whether he becomes a monk or not."

The plain-looking woman took a glance and found that everyone was nervous and angry,

except for this cousin who didn't look at Dengtuzi, but stared at Du'e Luohan.

"I care." Xu Xinnian said.

"Then why do you keep staring at Du'e Luohan?"

"I'm thinking about which angle I should stab him from."

On the top of the stargazing building, Emperor Yuan Jing turned around suddenly, pointed at

Xu Qi'an in the secret realm, and said anxiously: "Supervisor, I will not allow Xu Qi'an to

become a Buddhist disciple.

"No matter what method you use, you must stop it."

The supervisor smiled and said: "Your Majesty is the emperor, you don't need to care about a

mere silver gong."

"No!"

Emperor Yuan Jing rejected it outright and said angrily: "Dafeng has finally produced a

genius, how can we let Buddhism take him away? You must stop him, even if you lose the Tianji disk."

The Supervisor nodded: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

He held the wine glass, and the wine in the glass was calm, reflecting the sun, the moon, the

mountains and the rivers, and the people.

The old palm of the Supervisor had bulging veins, as if he was accumulating strength. With the Diamond Sutra in hand, his goal was achieved. As for the "Ashura Questioning the

Heart", it must be stopped by external forces. Xu Qian'an alone could never resist the

Buddhist initiation.

But at this time, the Supervisor suddenly stopped and looked into the distance in

astonishment. That was the direction of Yunlu Academy.

"Ah, the dog slave resisted. "Bian Bian screamed excitedly.

In the Buddhist realm, inside the temple, Xu Qian'an released his hand holding the mink hat,

and the mink hat was still on his head.

He briefly gained self-will, resisted joining Buddhism, and resisted the ideas that were

instilled in him.

Huh... This breath was the breath of countless people outside the venue. Du'e Arhat frowned and shook his head and said: "Only by converting to Buddhism can one

escape from the sea of suffering and achieve immortality. Only by achieving immortality can one save others. You obviously have great Buddha roots, why are you so stubborn?" Xu Qi'an's resistance seemed to have aroused the anger of the Buddha statue. The fog in

Foshan shook violently, and a golden body of the Dharma image that stood tall and straight condensed.

It was like everything in the world, everything became small, the clouds and mist swirled

around him, and the face of the Dharma image was hidden in the sky that could not be seen by

the naked

eye.

The temple was not even as big as the palm of the Dharma image.

The Dharma image that held up the sky slowly lowered its head and looked at the temple, and

then slowly stretched out its huge Buddha palm.

Press down!

In the temple, Xu Qi'an's shoulders sank suddenly, as if a mountain was pressed on his

shoulders.

The overwhelming pressure forced him to kneel down.

Can't kneel, can't kneel...... Xu Qi'an had a warning in his heart, he had a premonition that

there would be no turning back after this kneeling. He would become another self, a Xu Qi'an who respected and worshipped Buddha.

Outside the temple, the Buddha palm of the Dharma image that held up the sky pressed down

again.

Crack, crack, crack... Xu Qi'an's bones all over his body made popping sounds, especially his

spine, which was slightly protruding and could pierce his flesh at any time.

He buried his head even lower, and he couldn't straighten it up.

The only thing that didn't change was that his knees didn't bend.

No kneeling, no kneeling, no kneeling! Even if I have to believe in Buddhism, I believe it

willingly, and no one can tame me.

Xu Qi'an, who lowered his head, had a red face, and sweat dripped down. His eyes were

bloodshot, his face was ferocious, and he tried his best to resist the pressure from the sky.

He opened his mouth and stubbornly spit out: "No kneeling..."

Yunlu Academy.

The rich and clear air of the Sub-Saint Temple rushed straight to the sky, and the whole hall

shook again.

In the academy, students and teachers either raised their heads or walked out of the house and

looked in the direction of the Sub-Saint Temple.

The clear light in the hall flashed one after another, and the dean Zhao Shou and three great

scholars appeared at the same time.

"What's going on? Why did you move again?" Zhang Shen said in astonishment. The mahogany box hanging above the statue of the sub-sage shook violently. This time, the shaking was extremely strong, and the things inside seemed to be eager to come out. "Someone mobilized the power of all living beings again?" Li Mubai widened his eyes in disbelief.

Dean Zhao Shou frowned and bowed his hands, saying, "Please be quiet, senior." Buzz buzz buzz... Unexpectedly, the vibration of the mahogany box became more and more

violent.

Seeing this, the three great scholars immediately encouraged their righteous spirit and joined forces with Dean Zhao Shou to suppress the mahogany box, bowing their hands and saying,

"Please be quiet, senior."

The mahogany box was quiet again, but the next moment...

"Bang!"

The mahogany box exploded, and the clear light in the Sub-Sage Hall shook. Dean Zhao Shou

and the three great scholars felt their chests collided, blood gushed out, and they were all

shaken away. A clear light broke out of the box, crashed through the roof of the hall, and broke through the

air.

Dean Zhao Shou chased out of the Sub-Sage Hall, his eyes followed the clear light, it swept

across the mountains and disappeared into the sky. That was the direction of the capital.......

"Amitabha, I didn't expect that Mr. Xu's obsession was so deep. I guess after converting to

Buddhism, his Buddha heart has become clearer." Du'e Luohan put his hands together. Bian Bian glared at Du'e Luohan fiercely. She suddenly walked out of the pergola and shouted:

"Don't kneel to the bald donkey, dog slave, stand up. "

In the Buddha realm, Xu Qiyan's shoulders were bloody and his cervical spine was bent at a strange angle. His pain was clearly reflected in the eyes of the people outside the venue.

What kind of obsession is this that makes people keep their knees straight under such heavy

pressure.

Is this Xu Qiyan?

Is this the slick, romantic and lustful Xu Qiyan?

People who are familiar with him were shocked at this moment. Suddenly, an old man in plain clothes stood up in the shed. His eyes were red and he said

loudly in a slightly trembling voice:

"The young man is chivalrous and makes friends with heroes from the five cities. He is brave

and courageous. His hair is standing. He is talking to them. He is willing to die and live seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

together. A promise is worth a thousand gold... People who can write such words will not

kneel!"

Governor Zhang.

Xu Pingzhi shouted: "Ning Yan, stand up straight, don't kneel."

Xu Lingyin suddenly yelled: "Big pot..."

Wei Yuan touched her head and finished the next sentence for her: "Don't kneel."

Wang Shoufu stood up and said loudly: "Dafeng warriors, don't kneel."

In the crowd, someone suddenly raised his fist and shouted: "Don't kneel."

This moment, even if the fuse was lit, the onlookers were boiling.

"Don't kneel."

"Don't kneel."

"Don't kneel!"

One, two... More and more people shouted "Don't kneel", a father held his son high above his

head, and the child's clear voice shouted: "Don't kneel." The husband held his wife's hand and shouted with her: "Dafeng people, don't kneel."

From the awning to the outside, from the nobles to the people, at this moment, the Dafeng

people present made a common voice:

"Don't kneel!"

......

I seem to feel the power of all living beings again... In a hazy state of consciousness, a pure

thought surged into his sea of consciousness, this thought was complex and grand.

A voice was conveyed to him: Don't kneel!

In an instant, Xu Qiyan's eyes burst into an unprecedented light, like an ascetic wandering in

the dark, finally seeing the dawn.

He still couldn't straighten his spine, but, for some reason, he raised his arm, as if to hold

something.

Something was coming from nowhere.

At the same time, Xu Qiyan roared out the voices of thousands of people in the capital: "I! Xu

Qiyan, no! Kneel!"

At that time, a ray of light broke through the air, with a "booming" sound, and with

unmatched power, it crashed into the Buddha realm. This ray of light came in response to the call.

In the Buddha realm, the Sky-supporting Dharma statue felt something, retracted the

Buddha's palm, and slapped the light that crashed into the secret realm.

At the moment of the confrontation, the light and the golden light dimmed at the same time,

and after a second of silence, the dazzling blue-gold light exploded.

Then there was a "booming" explosion, which shocked the people of the capital to flee.

Outside, a strong wind raged.

The Sky-supporting Dharma statue collapsed into pure golden light and returned to this

Buddha realm. The light immediately entered the temple and fell into Xu Qiyan's hand.

It was an ancient, black carving knife.

Xu Qiyan slowly straightened his back and held the carving knife tightly.

"All living beings can become Buddhas, why kneel to you?"

After he finished speaking, he calmly thrust out the carving knife.

Crack... The Buddha statue's eyebrows cracked, and the cracks instantly spread all over the

body, and then collapsed.

Boom!

As the Buddha statue collapsed, the Buddha realm shook violently, the Buddha Mountain

collapsed, and the sky and the earth shook.

Crack!

Du'e Arhat looked down in shock and saw that the golden bowl cracked one after another, and

finally, with a "bang", it exploded into powder.

The Buddha realm was shattered.

Two figures fell out, the unconscious Jingsi, and Xu Qiyan, who stood proudly with a carving

knife in his hand.

Xu Qiyan slowly scanned the whole audience, then his eyelids fluttered and he fainted.

Before fainting, Xu Qiyan held down the mink hat.

This was his dignity.

The whole audience was silent.
