Chapter 323: Chapter 323: PitfallIn the reception hall, Xu Qi'an sat on a chair, holding the tea brewed by the maid, with a cloth bag at his feet, as high as his knees.
He sat quietly for a few minutes, his ears moved slightly, and he heard the sound of scales shaking, and then he saw Chu Xianglong step over the threshold and go straight in.
"Thank you General Chu and Duke Cao for your help."
Xu Qi'an said this insincerely, because he didn't even stand up, and drank a sip of tea while speaking.
Chu Xianglong didn't care, and looked at him, and then his eyes fell on the cloth bag at Xu Qi'an's feet, and said, "Where's the thing."
Xu Qi'an put down the teacup, opened the cloth bag, and revealed a stone-carved Buddha statue, with extremely poor knife skills, even worse than a beginner.
Chu Xianglong's eyes suddenly became hot, staring at the Buddha statue, although it was carved simply and the face only had an outline, but the faint Buddhist charm made people realize its extraordinary.
"I have engraved the secrets of the Vajra Divine Art into the Buddha statue. As for whether it can be cultivated, it is your business, General." Xu Qi'an said.
"Of course."
Chu Xianglong retracted his gaze and nodded with satisfaction at Xu Qi'an: "You are a trustworthy person."
Oh, if I have no credibility, you will say that you dare to go back on your word with just a small silver gong, and even Wei Yuan can't protect you!
Xu Qi'an sneered in his heart, but remained calm on the surface: "In fact, this skill itself is a free profit. If General Chu is interested, I will sell it for 500 taels of silver. There is no need to go through so much trouble."
Chu Xianglong came over, wrapped the Buddha statue in a cloth bag, and held it in his hand, with a teasing and mocking expression on his face:
"I don't think it's worth spending 500 taels on something that can be obtained with a little trick. Of course, the golden body of Buddhism is worth a thousand gold. Goodbye, Xu Yinluo, I won't see you off."
The golden body of Buddhism is worth a thousand gold, but I am not worthy of your money...... Xu Qi'an was not angry at all, and smiled: "The green mountains remain unchanged and the green water flows forever."
Turned around and left.
Just as he walked to the courtyard, he saw a maid hurried over and said, "Is this Xu Qi'an Xu Yinluo?"
"It's me." Xu Qi'an nodded.
"My princess wants to see you." The maid said.
The Princess of Zhenbei wants to see me? The most beautiful woman in Dafeng wants to see me? This is possible... Xu Qi'an was extremely curious about the famous woman.
Anyway, it was just a meeting, no big deal...Xu Qi'an smiled and said, "Please lead the way, sister."
The maid took Xu Qi'an through the winding corridors, through the courtyard and the garden, and walked for a quarter of an hour before arriving at the destination, which was a pavilion with curtains hanging on all four sides.
A graceful figure could be vaguely seen, sitting on a recliner, holding a book in her hand. Xu Qi'an tried hard to see her face clearly, but found that there was a veil behind the curtain. "Are you Xu Qi'an?"
A mature woman's voice came from the curtain, cold and magnetic.
Although I couldn't see her face clearly, her voice was very nice... Xu Qi'an clasped his fists and said, "What does the princess want to see me for?"
The woman in the pavilion snorted coldly, "I heard that you were outside the Meridian Gate, blocking hundreds of officials alone and writing poems to mock them. Is that true?"
Xu Qi'an said, "I was young and frivolous, and I was impulsive for a moment. I am ashamed."
You are also ashamed? Pah! The woman in the pavilion was silent for a moment, and said lightly, "Send you away."
That's it? Xu Qi'an looked at the woman in the pavilion in a daze, turned around, and followed the maid.
At this moment, a yellow-orange object suddenly came out of the pavilion and hit Xu Qi'an on the back.
"Why did the princess hit me?"
Xu Qi'an turned around and looked down at the gold on the ground. He did not get the warning of danger from his divine sense, which meant that there was no crisis just now, but he was a little angry.
The woman in the pavilion ignored him.
Xu Qi'an's eyes flashed with doubt. Seeing that the princess did not explain, he leaned over to pick up the gold and put it in his pocket without changing his expression.
"Next time the princess wants to hit me, remember to use gold bricks."
Xu Qi'an said sarcastically and followed the maid.
In the quiet bedroom, Chu Xianglong closed the doors and windows. He placed the stone Buddha statue on the table and stared at it for a long time. He felt that there was a Buddhist rhythm flowing, which was wonderful.
But no matter how he felt, he could not learn the skills from it.
"The Vajra Divine Art of Buddhism really requires a certain opportunity and the foundation of Buddhism. Xu Qi'an can cultivate the Vajra Invincible, which is indeed a talent. However, he is a small person without a foundation. A little trick will make him submit obediently."
Thinking of this, Chu Xianglong sneered, both proud and contemptuous.
What a martial arts genius, what talent is comparable to the King of Zhenbei, if there is no secret help from the Supervisor, how can he fight with the Buddhist Arhat?
Among the rumors that boasted about him in the capital, what Chu Xianglong hated most was comparing him with the prince.
A silver gong born from a quick hand, a lowly person born from a military household, is he
worthy?
"Except for the Vajra Divine Art, the benefits that can be squeezed out of this boy are pitiful. Otherwise, in the imperial examination fraud case, all his value will be squeezed out at once." There is a reason why Chu Xianglong and Cao Guogong planned the Vajra Divine Art. With their identity, status and knowledge, how could they not know the mystery of the Vajra Divine
Art.
Chu Xianglong joined the army when he was young. In his early years, when he followed the army to encircle and suppress bandits, he met a traveler from the Western Regions.
The traveler tried to use Buddhism to influence the hungry bandits, but was tied up by the bandits and wanted to cook and eat him.
Chu Xianglong saved the traveler. To repay his kindness, the traveler gave him a bronze amulet. This amulet was engraved with Buddhist texts and the Buddhist rhyme flowed. Whenever he wore it, he would feel calm and his anger would disappear, and he would enter a state like enlightenment.
After each battle on the battlefield, Chu Xianglong would wear it to eliminate his anger and comprehend the profound Buddhist teachings.
"Squeak..."
He opened the bedside cabinet and took out a small sandalwood box. He opened the lid and found a palm-sized bronze amulet wrapped in red silk cloth.
"Although I am not a Buddhist, this amulet is mysterious and magical. It can help me enter a state of enlightenment. Maybe I can use it to comprehend the mystery of the Vajra Divine Art. "Once I become Vajra Invincible, my combat power will be improved by more than one level. The key is that my body, which is far superior to that of ordinary warriors, can help me survive better on the battlefield.
"In addition, if I can use the bronze talisman to cultivate the Vajra Divine Art, the prince will definitely be able to do so, and he will definitely reward me greatly at that time."
Thinking of this, Chu Xianglong's eyes were fanatical, and he wanted to immediately feel the
Buddha statue.
He took a deep breath and spent a cup of tea to calm his emotions and calm his heart.
Then, he held the bronze talisman and began to meditate.
Gradually, he felt a vast and gentle breath, and his mind became clear, and he calmly
examined his seven emotions and six desires, and was no longer troubled by distracting
thoughts.
After entering this state, Chu Xianglong opened his eyes and focused on observing the
Buddha's rhyme on the stone statue.
This time, he clearly saw the Buddha statue moving, changing into various postures, and each posture was accompanied by a different way of moving qi.
It really works... Chu Xianglong was ecstatic and almost couldn't maintain the state of "being indifferent to the world".
Subconsciously, he tried to imitate the posture on the stone statue and imitate the unique way of moving qi.
A streak of gold lit up between his eyebrows, quickly covering half of his body. Suddenly... the Qi in his body was affected, like a volcanic eruption, impacting his meridians
and Dantian.
"Puff!"
Chu Xianglong spat out a mouthful of blood, blood vessels on his body burst, and his Dantian was also shattered by the violent Qi, seriously injured.
His face suddenly flushed, beads of sweat rolled down, he lowered his head and looked
around himself, the gold paint on his arm faded little by little.
"How could this happen? Bronze talismans don't work either..." Chu Xianglong thought, his
eyes rolled back, and he fainted. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Half an hour later, Chu Xianglong's confidant came to look for him and finally found him unconscious and dying.
"There is an assassin, there is an assassin..."
After listening to the guard's report, Princess Zhenbei suppressed her joy and asked, "Did he
go astray while practicing? How could he go astray when he was fine?"
The guard shook his head, "I don't know."
Princess Zhenbei said happily, "Is he dead?"
.... The guard shook his head again, "His life is safe, but he was seriously injured. The sorcerer
of the Sitianjian said that he needs to stay in bed for a month to recover. Moreover, it was
discovered too late, the qi is reversed, the meridians are broken, and it is very likely that the root of the disease will be left."
Princess Zhenbei was immediately disappointed.
"However, I heard that it is very likely related to the Buddha statue sent by Xu Yinluo." The
guard hesitated and said.
Related to him? This brat did a good thing that made people happy... Princess Zhenbei
thought with a smile.
On the rugged mountain road, Li Miaozhen, wearing a Taoist robe and a jade crown, walked slowly with the long sword given by her master on her back.
Wild flowers bloomed on the roadside, the sun was shining, and the mountains and rivers were beautiful. She walked and looked all the way, contented.
A bright red oil-paper umbrella followed her side, and under the umbrella was the stunning
Su Su. Her eyes were like lacquer, her lips were bright red, her skin was white, and she was wearing a complicated and gorgeous long skirt.
Li Miaozhen was beautiful, but her momentum was too fierce.
On the other hand, Su Su was dressed like a gorgeous daughter of a wealthy family. Her eyes were flowing, and she was charming and charming. There was an indescribable charm. "It's another eighty miles to the capital, Master, let's stay in the capital for a while, okay?" Su Su looked to the south, full of expectation.
"I'm not familiar with the Si Tian Jian, Xu Qi'an has passed away, without his face, it's strange
that Song Qing would care about you." Li Miaozhen curled her lips and hit him mercilessly.
"Then....."
Su Su rolled her eyes and smiled cunningly: "I will say that I am Xu Qi'an's wife who has not yet married."
Li Miaozhen sneered: "That's great, maybe I can save you on the spot and let you accompany him."
Su Su turned around angrily, stood on the side of the road, and said angrily: "I won't go, I want to go back to Tianzong, I want to go back to Tianzong."
The coquettish posture can evoke the tenderness of men's sympathy for women. Unfortunately, Li Miaozhen was not a man, and slapped her on the back of the head, "Do you
want to leave?"
Su Su, who was beaten, immediately behaved: "Hey, don't hit my head, it's flattened."
At this time, Li Miaozhen sniffed and her face became serious: "I smell blood."
She looked around for a moment and locked onto the bushes in front.
