Chapter 1212: The Temple of the Sun
Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, although Samba's language was jerky, Qi Ning had already understood.
Only the old and weak remained, but the young people were nowhere to be seen, but it turned out that the young laborers were requisitioned away to build a palace, and listening to Samba's meaning, not only the young laborers were requisitioned, but even the cattle and horses were also requisitioned in large numbers, and even many young women were also taken away.
It is natural that the construction of a palace requires cattle and horses, but what about taking away women?
The construction of the palace is naturally for the king of the ancient elephant kingdom, and Qi Ning thought to himself that the ancient elephant kingdom is now building a large number of buildings.
"Is it your ancient elephant kingdom king who wants to expand the palace?" Qi Ning asked, "How many people have been requisitioned?" ”
Samba said: "There are twenty-four sects in the east, and every year there are twelve young people from the sect who have to go to repair the palace, and they rotate for two years, and it has been.... It has been repaired for many years. It's not that the king wants to build the palace, it's ..... It's His Holiness! ”
"The Dharma?" Qi Ning was taken aback: "Is it the King of the Day-Chasing Law?" ”
"Great Teacher, Great Dharma King!" Samba said: "The Dharma King is a god in heaven, and he wants to have a palace on earth, and he shouts to Tuketu to let us build a palace, and we cannot disobey it." ”
Qi Ning was surprised in his heart, secretly thinking that the Dharma King was one of the five great grandmasters, and it was not uncommon for him to be respected as a great master in the Ancient Elephant Kingdom, but this great grandmaster wanted to build a palace for himself, which was really a bit unreasonable.
Qi Ning still wanted to ask more, but the old man who was talking to Ximen Wuxian over there seemed to notice that something was wrong here, and looked over here, Samba looked at the old man to himself, and immediately stopped talking, not daring to say more.
Qi Ning didn't want to embarrass the old man of the ancient elephant, so he didn't ask much.
Samba said that the Great Hutu Ketu was ordered by the Dharma King to order the construction of the palace, Qi Ning originally knew from the mouth of Jebdamba that there was a sun-chasing temple specially built for the king of the ancient elephant kingdom, which is said to be the pilgrimage of the ancient elephant people, and the temple had four major hutuktu, hutuktu is the meaning of the sage, and Nagong Tashi is one of the four great hutuktu of the sun-chasing temple, and the status of the ancient elephant kingdom is indeed extraordinary.
He thought to himself that the old man said that the palace built by the edict of Dahu Tuketu was probably a temple.
It's just that since the temple already exists, why do you need to build and expand it? The martial arts cultivation of the Dharma King has reached the transcendent realm of transcendence, is this person still nostalgic for the glory and wealth of the world?
After Samba left, the old man also said goodbye to Simon without a trace.
Qi Ning returned to the tent, Hongmen Dao was holding a map to watch, Qi Ning went over and sat down, and soon Ximen came in without a trace, and without saying much, he went directly to his bunk.
After a period of silence, Qi Ning said, "Does the god know that the Dharma King is building a large number of buildings?" ”
"You mean expanding the Temple of the Sun?" Simon Wuxian smiled disdainfully: "The Dharma King of the Sun has already transcended the world, how can he care about these things?" The so-called temple was not originally intended to be built by the King of the Sun, but the King of the Sun supported the current King of the Ancient Elephant to ascend the throne, and if there was no King of the Sun, it would be impossible for the King of the Ancient Elephant to sit on the throne ..... now! After a pause, he didn't seem interested in explaining more, and closed his eyes cross-legged.
"It turns out that the Ancient Elephant Kingdom is the same as the Eastern Qi Kingdom, and the position of the monarch is in the hands of the Great Grandmaster." Qi Ning sighed.
Ximen Wuxian sneered: "These so-called great masters should not exist in the world, they ...... Hmph, that's not a martial arts master anymore, it's a monster. ”
Qi Ning thought to himself that Ximen Wuji's martial arts could already go sideways in the world, that was an absolute top master, but above him, there were unshakable five great masters, presumably Ximen Wuxian also knew that it was impossible to surpass the cultivation of any great master in this life, and it was inevitable that he would be unwilling in his heart.
"Gods, the temple was built by the ancient elephant monarch to curry favor with the king of the sun?" Hong Mendao couldn't help but ask.
If it was something else, Hongmen Dao really didn't dare to say much, but after all, this was an anecdote involving the Great Grandmaster, but how could anyone who knew about the existence of the Great Grandmaster not be interested in the matter of the Great Grandmaster?
Simon did not open his eyes without a trace, and said: "The ancient elephant monarch not only built a temple for the king of the sun, but also personally visited the temple every year to worship, and because of this, the temple has become a holy place in the hearts of all ancient elephants. ”
"So, now the temple is under construction, or is it the order of the ancient elephant king?" Qi Ning asked curiously.
Ximen Wuxian shook his head and said: "After the temple was repaired, several disciples of the King of the Sun were invited to serve as priests, that is, the four great Hutu Ketu, the four great Hutu Ketu jointly deal with the affairs of the temple, among them, the Great Hutu Ketu Asidara is the most powerful, and the reason is also very simple, Asidala is the only person who can see the Sun Chasing Dharma King, and there are less than ten disciples of the Sun Chasing Dharma King, the four great Hutu Ketu are in the temple, and the other disciples are also serving as temple officials in other temples in the Ancient Elephant Kingdom, so the Buddha sect of the Ancient Elephant Kingdom is very prosperous, and all the temples obey only the orders of the Sun-Seeking King, in other words, only the commands of the Great Huktu Asidara. ”
"Only Asidara can see the Sun-Seeking King?" Qi Ning was a little strange and said, "What about the other disciples?" Can't the other three Hutuketu see him? ”
Simon Wuxian did not explain, but said: "Asidara is so powerful that even the king of the ancient elephant country is very jealous, in the eyes of the ancient elephant people, the king of the sun is a god, and what Asidara says is the voice of a god." Snorted coldly: "If Asidalla abdicates the ancient elephant monarch, then the ancient elephant monarch is only afraid and does not dare to disobey, you now understand the power of the big Hu Tuketu, right?" ”
Hongmen Dao frowned and said, "The Hutu Ketu of the temple can influence the position of the monarch of the Ancient Elephant Kingdom?" ”
"It's not that Dahu Tuketu can be left and right, it's that the Dharma King can be left and right." Simon said without a trace: "But what you said is actually not wrong, no one can see the King of the Sun, every word that Tuketu said, the ancient elephant people will think that it is the meaning of the King of the Sun." He sneered and said: "Qi Ning, you just said that the ancient elephant kingdom is the same as the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and the position of the monarch is in the hands of the great grandmaster, which is actually very reasonable, although the covenant of Longshan stipulates that the great grandmaster shall not interfere in the disputes between the countries, but the affairs of the country can still be interfered in, the lord of Baiyun Island and the king of the law of the sun are also the great teachers of their own country, and they also control the throne of their own country, in the final analysis, it is because of their terrifying martial arts cultivation, controlling the country with force, what is it if they are not monsters?" ”
Qi Ning bowed slightly, although he was already very disgusted with Ximen Wuxi, he quite agreed with Ximen Wuxi's words.
"Shenhou, I've heard people say that the martial arts cultivation of the five great grandmasters has exceeded the limit of the human body." Qi Ning said: "I always feel that this is a little strange. ”
"Strange?" Simon asked indifferently, "How strange?" ”
"Since the human body has limits, how do they break through?" Qi Ning said: "It is understandable that a person's martial arts cultivation has reached the extreme of the human body, but since there is a limit, what method can be used to break through?" ”
Simon Traceless asked, "Do you want to know how they became great masters and how they cultivated such terrifying martial arts?" ”
"That's exactly what it means."
"If the old man knows, he will also become a great grandmaster." Ximen Wuxian said lightly, and then frowned, as if he was saying to Qi Ning, and seemed to be saying to himself: "How did they become great grandmasters?" ”
Qi Ning thought to himself that the Great Grandmaster was not only terrifying in martial arts cultivation, but also something even more terrifying, that is, youth and immortality.
Among the five great grandmasters, he had personally seen Mo Lancang, the master of Baiyun Island, and the sword god Beigong Liancheng, and the actual age of these two people was far beyond their appearance, Qi Ning was shocked when he saw it, he really didn't know if it was because of the cultivation of martial arts or other reasons.
Could it be that if you break through the limits of the human body and reach a new realm of martial arts cultivation, you can really stay young forever?
Mo Lancang and Beigong Liancheng each have their own cultivation methods, but both of them are not old, which of course makes Qi Ning very surprised, and sometimes even thinks that the reason why these two people became great masters is not that they have cultivated the same kind of martial arts or broken through the martial arts realm with the same path.
There was silence in the tent for a moment, and then Qi Ning asked, "Is the temple built in the Great Snow Mountain?" Is the god going to take me to the Great Snow Mountain Temple this time? ”
"No more temples." Simon lay down without a trace: "Although the temple is called the Temple of the Sun, the King of the Day has never been in the temple, and you will not see the King of the Sun in the temple. ”
"Can't see him?"
"He's in the Big Snow Mountain." Ximen said without a trace: "When you arrive at the Great Snow Mountain, you can always see, and the temple ..... Ruona!" After a pause, he sneered: "No matter how magnificent and beautiful the construction is, the Dharma King will not be able to see it." ”
This sentence was very strange, Qi Ning felt that there was something in Ximen Wuji's words, and asked: "Can't the King of the Sun See the Temple?" God, this.... Where does this begin? ”
Simon Wuxian lay on his side with his back to Qi Ning and did not answer.
Qi Ning knew that Ximen Wuxian was deliberately ignoring it, since this old guy didn't want to say it, even if he asked thousands of times, it would be useless, and he didn't ask much, he also lay down in his clothes, but he was very suspicious in his heart, secretly thinking that since the Temple of the Sun Chase was managed by the disciples of the Sun Chase Dharma King, then the Sun Chase Dharma King naturally wanted to enter and go out whenever he wanted, how could he not meet him?
And Simon Wuxian is very particular about this sentence, he is not saying that the Dharma King is unwilling to see the temple, but that the Dharma King is not able to see it, it seems that the meaning is similar, but if you taste it carefully, the meaning is very different.
If it is said that the Dharma King does not want to see him, it only means that the Dharma King does not want to be bound by the things of the world, and although there is a temple, His Holiness does not bother to see it.
But if the Dharma King can't see it, that's a different meaning, just like saying that the Dharma King can't see it even if he wants to.
The Dharma King is the great teacher of the ancient elephant, and even the throne of the ancient elephant king can be influenced, and the temple of the sun is also built for him, if he wants to see it, how can he not see it? Qi Ning didn't know for a while whether it was Ximen Wuxian who casually missaid it, or if it really implied a deep meaning.
