Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

Chu Ling sighed.

Chu Xiong smiled: "This is a good idea. I decided to adopt it. Since it has become a grand master's palace, there is no need to recruit the grand master of Ye Ming Division."

Chu Ling shook her head.

Chu Xiong asked: "Are you satisfied with this?"

"Father, you have let everyone down this time." Chu Ling shook his head and said, "This is a bad start."

Chu Xiong said: "Do you think I'm taking advantage of you by force?"

Chu Ling nodded: "You have broken the rules. I am afraid you will be in trouble in the future."

Chu Xiong frowned: "What's the trouble?"

"Qingluo will definitely cause trouble." Chu Ling said: "Father, you broke the rules first, so you can't blame Qingluo for revenge."

"She's so brave!" Chu Xiong snorted: "Aren't you afraid that his father will never be promoted?"

Chu Ling smiled and said: "She didn't expect his father to be promoted. Furthermore, she also knew that his father was not suitable for a high position. She didn't know how badly he would fall."

Chu Xiong said: "Then I must lift him up!"

Chu Ling said angrily: "Father, how can you joke about your official position!"

Chu Xiong shook his head and said: "This matter seems to be me seizing the Grand Master of Xingnan Peak, but it is not that simple."

Chu Ling looked at him puzzled.

Chu Xiong said slowly: "This time it is Ye Mingsi's grand master. Next time, will there be more grand masters joining Xingnan Peak?"

Chu Ling nodded thoughtfully.

Xingnan Peak is special and has a fatal attraction for martial arts masters. No one can resist this temptation and will fall into the arms of Xingnan Peak if given the chance.

Chu Xiong hummed, "If I don't restrict them, there will be more and more great masters in Xingnan Peak, until they reach an astonishing number. By that time, nothing I say will work."

Chu Ling said: "Father, what you say still works."

"This is just an illusion." Chu Xiong snorted: "He seems to give in every step, but in fact he refuses to give in. Look at which time I took advantage!"

Chu Ling tilted her head and thought for a while.

In the end, I felt that what Chu Xiong said was right.

It seemed that Fa Kong was in a weak defense and had to fight as a last resort. In fact, in the end, he did not suffer at all, but continued to benefit.

Chu Xiong said: "You... don't be deceived by him."

Chu Ling pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, but since father knows that he is cunning, why do you still fall into his trap and insist on pressing forward step by step?"

Although Fakong did not suffer any loss, it was because of his superb methods and wisdom that a different person would have been beaten to death by his father.

So I can't believe everything my father said. He was just speaking from his own point of view.

But standing in the middle and looking at it, this is not the case.

Every time it was Father who took the initiative to attack, and it was Fakong who defended passively. We should not think that Fakong was in the wrong just because Fakong defended beautifully.

This is contrary to facts and justice.

Chu Xiong snorted: "If I didn't take the initiative to attack, I would have been eaten to death by him. In short, I need to constantly destroy his majesty."

Chu Ling shook her head gently: "Why bother? If you can cooperate well, it will be best for Daqian."

Chu Xiong said: "It's good to go big, but it's hard to say who will be the leader when the time comes!"

Chu Ling smiled and shook his head and said: "This is your biggest misunderstanding, father. All he wants is to promote Buddhism and not to be the emperor."

"Promoting Buddhism seems harmless, but in fact?" Chu Xiong snorted: "After Buddhism flourishes, everyone believes in Buddhism, so who do you think they believe the most?"

"...It's him." Chu Ling said.

Fakong is well-deserved as the number one divine monk in the world.

Chu Xiong snorted: "Who has the final say when the time comes?"

Chu Ling frowned: "He won't mess around."

"Putting your hope on him?" Chu Xiong said, "Ling'er, do you think this is appropriate?"

"...It's inappropriate." Chu Ling said slowly.

Chu Xiong snorted: "This is the conflict that cannot be resolved. As long as I am in office for one day, I will not tolerate the prosperity of Buddhism or the dominance of one family!"

Chu Ling looked at him and nodded lightly.

This is indeed an irreconcilable contradiction. There is a fundamental conflict between them. Neither I nor Qingluo can dissuade me. What I can do is very limited.

——

Early the next morning, Chu Ling arrived at Xingnan Peak without eating.

As soon as she stepped into Xingnan Peak, her whole body was as light as a feather, as if there was an invisible force holding her up, and she came to Xu Qingluo's monastery lightly.

Zhou Yu and Zhou Yang haven't come yet.

Xu Qingluo was practicing her sword. When she saw her coming, she stopped and sheathed her sword. The two of them came to the stone table next to them and sat down, drinking tea and talking.

Xu Qingluo smiled and said, "How about it? Has the emperor adopted it?"

Chu Ling nodded slightly.

The previous words were a formula discussed by the four of them. They would first talk about the targeted approach, and then propose a solution.

First use coercion, then inducement. The order cannot be wrong, otherwise it will be difficult to persuade Chu Xiong.

Xu Qingluo smiled: "Thank God."

Chu Ling sighed.

Xu Qingluo looked at her expression and said with a smile: "Isn't it solved? What a shame!"

Chu Ling sighed and shook his head.

Xu Qingluo said: "Are you still in trouble?"

"The two of them will not stop and will continue to fight," Chu Ling said helplessly: "I am the most unlucky to be caught in the middle."

Xu Qingluo said: "Playing one game after another is just like playing chess. Isn't it interesting?"

Chu Ling rolled her eyes.

Xu Qingluo smiled and said, "Life never stops, struggle never ceases, this is what Master often says, don't expect the world to be truly peaceful, don't expect everything around you to go smoothly, there will always be trouble."

Chu Ling repeated Chu Xiong's words.

Xu Qingluo said, "This is actually nothing."

Chu Ling widened her eyes, not understanding what she meant.

Xu Qingluo smiled and said, "If the emperor doesn't allow Master to promote Buddhism in Daqian, then go to Dayong. Buddhism in Dayong is flourishing, far better than Daqian and Dayun."

She smiled and said, "Not to mention Dayun."

"They are different after all." Chu Ling shook her head, "How can I really worship the divine monks of Daqian, or believe in my own divine monks more."

Dayong has the national master, the Great Miaolian Temple, and even the monk Yuande. The people still believe in them the most, not Fakong.

Not to mention Dayun, who firmly believes in martial arts and other mysterious powers, and is half-believing and half-doubting Buddhism. The same is true when Fakong shows his supernatural powers.

Buddhism is powerful, but what you believe in is also powerful. This is what most people in Dayun think.

Xu Qingluo said: "The emperor is powerful, but the people's hearts and minds are difficult to manipulate. At that time, the more you suppress them, the more intense they will be."

"I'm afraid they will really turn against each other at that time." Chu Ling sighed.

Fakong and his father are fighting each other now, but it's just a small fight, and they haven't torn their faces.

But if the people of Daqian all believe in Buddhism and Fakong, his father will never be like this now. He will definitely turn against him and find ways to get rid of Fakong.

Xu Qingluo said: "I heard from Master last night that he is going to resign from the position of abbot of the outer courtyard of the Vajra Temple."

"Huh-?" Chu Ling was shocked.

"What?!" Zhou Yang and Zhou Yu happened to come over and heard this, and asked in surprise.
