Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

Chu Ling stared at him with bright eyes.

Fakong still didn't look at her.

When it comes to such a major matter, Chu Ling's judgment is inaccurate. He is too emotional and does not understand the cruelty of things in the world.

No matter how smart and insightful she is, she is not so rational when it comes to herself, and is still dominated by emotions.

She failed to foresee how cruel the inner palace would be in the future if the queen did not step back.

As a princess, and a favored princess at that, she could not see the cruelty of the harem. She only saw the beautiful side, and even if it was boring, it did not reveal the darkness.

The queen is different.

Her decision seemed impulsive at first glance, but in fact, upon closer inspection, it included rational thinking and was not entirely emotional.

It can only be said that the queen is a queen after all. Sitting in this position, even a dull person can be tempered to an unusual degree.

"Your Majesty..." The Queen showed a bitter expression: "If the master agrees, the Emperor has nothing to say, but if the Emperor agrees first..."

She shook her head slightly.

Fakong said: "Your Majesty, if I agree rashly, I'm afraid I'll have to bear the Emperor's thunderous wrath. If you're angry with me, that's fine. I'm afraid it will implicate the sect and the temple."

"Alas...it is indeed too difficult to be a master!" The queen sighed quietly, shook her head and said, "That's all."

Fakong said: "Your Majesty, just stay here first. The rest will take your time. There's no need to be in a hurry."

"Yes." The queen nodded.

Chu Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Fakong fiercely.

This monk is so disgusting, he is obviously trying to scare himself.

Fakong said: "Do you want to meditate now, or to feel happy? If you want to feel happy, you might as well play the piano, raise flowers, or even raise a bird. They are all excellent."

Chu Ling nodded hurriedly: "Yes, you just need to cultivate your mind and nature. Buddhism is not necessary. Queen mother, you are still young."

The queen chuckled and said: "I am already an old woman, how can I be called young."

"My mother has always been young." Chu Ling said with a smile.

The queen smiled and shook her head.

Fakong said: "The courtyard of the Jingshe is very large. It can be opened into a vegetable garden or a flower garden, whatever the empress likes. This is not anywhere else. The empress regards it as her own place."

"Okay." The queen nodded: "But I still want to study Buddhism to increase my wisdom and open my mind."

Fakong nodded: "Which sutra the queen wants to listen to, I can explain it."

The profoundness of his Buddhist teachings is unparalleled. The Buddhist scriptures are so vast that it is impossible for him to master them all, but he is still proficient in the most common Buddhist scriptures.

The queen picked a Buddhist scripture, and Fa Kong began to explain it, either by extending it or by simplifying it.

Even Chu Ling listened with great interest, and even became fascinated, unknowingly forgetting the tea he was making.

Fa Kong did not interrupt them and continued to lecture. While preaching, he poured the brewed tea into the tea cup.

Only then did Chu Ling regain her composure.

After the lecture, the Queen and Chu Ling raised some doubts, and Fa Kong answered them one by one, making their eyes light up.

Fa Kong explains Buddhism in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, and more importantly, extends it, liberating the method of relieving worries from the profundity and precision of Buddhist scriptures and turning it into a method that is easy to understand and practice.

If you want to get rid of worries, you must first know me and understand me, analyze the intentions behind your words and deeds, and analyze yourself.

Make peace with yourself again, stop internal friction, stop disturbing yourself, deny yourself, and will not look down on yourself because of your shortcomings, but admit your own imperfections and shortcomings, and accept your own imperfections.

Then find the goal, pursue the goal with body and mind integrated, focus on the goal, and not be disturbed by external things.

Then develop an altruistic heart, knowing that I am for everyone and everyone is for me. Helping others is helping yourself. By helping others, you can gather other forces for your own use.

Then there is the heart of compassion, and then there is the understanding of the laws of the world and the true face of the world.

Finally, you see your true colors.

Step by step, climbing up the stairs, is the road to enlightenment, the relief of worries, the road to enlightenment and Buddhahood.

It seems far out of reach, but it is real and verifiable.

The queen was in the troubled stage, which was also the stage where it was easiest to listen. When she heard Fakong's words, she suddenly understood.

She felt that the dark clouds hanging over her heart were quickly removed, and she found a way to remove them.

From then on, I no longer had to worry about the darkness weighing on my heart.

This sense of solidity made her feel at peace. She no longer had any fear or worry, and she felt calm and peaceful.

She tithes with sincerity.

I have also listened to many eminent monks' sermons, which were very colorful and pleasant to the ears, but none of them explained the path to enlightenment in such a plain and simple way, which touched my heart so much that I could hear it clearly and clearly.

It's like a road going up a mountain. It's originally winding, sometimes obscured by clouds, fog, or covered by mountains and forests, so it's always hard to see clearly.

However, Fakong pushed everything aside and opened a path leading directly to the top of the mountain. Standing at the foot of the mountain, you can clearly see every step.

Fakong smiled and said: "Mother, in fact, it is not necessarily a good thing that I explain the path of cultivation so clearly. Some eminent monks do not understand it, and some eminent monks do not understand it, but do not want to explain it clearly... Sometimes , to break through a realm, it is easier to break through if you don’t know the way, but it is a huge obstacle if you know it.”

"I think it's better to be clear about it." The queen shook her head gently: "If you are unclear, you will always feel uneasy and unable to calm down."

"If that's the case, then a thorough understanding will be more conducive to practice." Fakong said: "There are thousands of ways to become a Buddha through practice. Finding the one that suits you is the most important thing. One person's practice path may not be suitable for another person."

The Queen said: "Master, you can see which practice path is suitable for me, right?"

Fakong smiled and nodded.

Chu Ling hurriedly said: "What about me?"

Fakong looked at Chu Ling and smiled: "Your Highness is not suitable for practicing Buddhism. You should practice martial arts."

"Why can't I practice Buddhism?"

"Your Highness's fate is not over yet." Fakong shook his head and said: "You have no fate with Buddha. Buddha saves those who have fate."

"Why don't I have fate!" Chu Ling said unconvinced: "I also heard it clearly and can practice."

Fakong said: "Troubles are Bodhi. Your Highness has no big troubles now, so it is difficult to have a true belief in Buddhism. Of course, there is no way to practice. It's okay to understand, but you will know when you practice. It's futile and you are standing still."

"I don't believe it." Chu Ling said.

Fakong smiled.

"Mother, I will practice here with you." Chu Ling said.

The Queen shook her head: "I don't need you to accompany me. It's quieter for me to stay alone. You can do whatever you need to do."

"Mother--!" Chu Ling was dissatisfied.

The Queen said: "You are here, disturbing my peace and ruining my practice."

"Mother--Queen--!" Chu Ling was even more dissatisfied.

The Queen smiled and waved her hand.

Fakong said: "Your Highness, you can come to accompany the Queen in your spare time, and you can also come to live together at other times, but forget about practice."

The Queen nodded and smiled: "Just do as the Master said."

"...Okay." Chu Ling nodded helplessly.

She didn't seem to be convinced by Fakong, but in fact she was convinced in her heart, but she thought Fakong was timid and lacked courage.

But she still believed in Fakong's judgment.

Since Fakong judged that she was not suitable for practicing Buddhism, she knew that she was probably really not suitable.

Although she was quite moved by the exquisiteness of Buddhism, she would rather spend more time practicing martial arts than martial arts.

Most of the troubles at the current stage are caused by insufficient martial arts. If the martial arts are strong enough, all troubles will disappear.

Just like the poor think that all troubles are related to lack of money, once they have money, they will have no troubles.

Chu Ling is at this stage.

After having money, you will find that there are troubles.

The queen is at this stage. The troubles are no longer caused by martial arts, but higher-level troubles.

At this time, you can use Buddhism.

In the following days, the queen stayed in Lingkong Temple.

Lingkong Temple has six monasteries.

These six monasteries are built in no way inferior to the abbot's courtyard.

The courtyard chosen by the queen is an open quadrangle, a square quadrangle.

A vegetable garden and a flower garden were opened in the courtyard. They worked every day and were very busy. When they stopped, they chanted Buddhism.

It is winter now, and everything is bleak.

In Lingkong Temple, these vegetable gardens and flower gardens can make seeds grow, which is the effect of the magic water.

There is holy water in Lingkong Temple. A copper vat next to a well was blessed with a rejuvenation spell, turning the clear water in the vat into holy water.

Fakong originally thought that after the queen moved to Lingkong Temple, the emperor would ask about it and come to question him.

But the result was that three days passed and Chu Xiong did not move at all, as if he did not know that the queen had entered Lingkong Temple, or even that the queen had left.

Fakong sighed secretly.

This was Chu Xiong's tacit approval of the queen's approach, which was to hand over the harem to Leng Feiqiong.

From then on, Leng Feiqiong became the master of the harem, and the queen was a thing of the past, which was quite sad to think about.

Fakong did not speak about this matter.

This was a family affair, and outsiders interfering would only bring trouble to themselves, so it was better to watch from the sidelines.

Leng Feiqiong obviously knew about this, but she was tactful and did not ask Fakong more, pretending not to know.

After another three days of rejuvenation spells, Leng Feiqiong had completely recovered.

Her temperament also changed subtly.

Still cold, but without the coldness in her bones, not like the coldness of snow under dark clouds, but like the coldness of snow under the bright sun.

This makes her more charming.

Before leaving, Leng Feiqiong bowed deeply: "Master, I'll leave the Queen to you."

Fakong raised his eyebrows.

Leng Feiqiong said: "Master, do you think I hate the Queen too, envy her, and want to squeeze her out?"

Fakong shook his head.

Leng Feiqiong sighed and said silently: "I'm actually very grateful to the Queen."

Fakong smiled.

Leng Feiqiong said: "Master, please tell the Queen that I will never take her Phoenix Seal."

Fakong said: "Okay, I will tell the Queen."

Leng Feiqiong bowed again, turned around and floated away.

——

A bright moon hung in the sky.

Fakong appeared in Li Ying's courtyard.

Li Ying was dancing with a sword under the moonlight, and the sword's momentum suddenly changed, stabbing towards him, and the sword's momentum suddenly became erratic and illusory, as if it had turned into a breeze.

Fakong flicked his sleeve.

The tip of the sword that appeared in front of his chest suddenly stopped, and suddenly flew backwards, making a buzzing sound.

Li Ying's face was solemn, and she held the sword tightly, but in the end she couldn't hold it. The long sword broke free from her jade hand and flew into Fakong's hand.
