The Fourth Cycle –

Before leaving Wanshou Temple, Chu Qianqiu also wanted to repeat his old tricks and use the blood of Xuanwu to exchange a little benefit from Wanshou Temple, but it was a pity that Buddhism did not value the bloodline of divine beasts very much.

Zen Master Zu Yuan said with a smile:

"Using the bloodline of divine beasts is the remnants of ancient martial arts, and it is also their essence."

"In those days, there were many divine beasts, and it was not so difficult to obtain the bloodline of divine beasts, and even the bloodline of a dragon was refined to one person for use, which was naturally infinitely powerful."

"In today's era, there are relatively few, and they are still quite strong, but if the bloodline strength is not enough, it will not have much effect."

"Like the eldest princess, who has been cultivating for many years, she is only a pale golden bloodline, and it will take her at least a few decades or even hundreds of years of hard work to reach the level of pure gold."

"If you don't take too much dragon blood from the dragon blood pool, it will take a long time to do penance."

Chu Qianqiu thought that Zen Master Zuyuan wanted to bargain, so he hurriedly replied:

"Zen Master, rest assured, this is the source blood of the Xuanwu Divine Beast."

He opened the vial of blood and tried to prove its value.

"The old man didn't suspect that this bottle of source blood of Lord Chu was indeed a very precious treasure."

"Listen to what the old man has to say."

Zu Yuan Zen Master is much calmer than Meng Fuzi, after all, he doesn't need to be like him, worrying about the great cause of reviving the sect, and he is rigid if he has no desire.

So it's very safe to bargain.

"Later, the alchemy of the Daomen rose, and the pill proved that the condensation characteristics do not need the blood of the divine beast, and the substitution effect is not bad, the main thing is that the cost is lower, and the cultivation cost is also lower, plus the divine beast is becoming scarcer and rarer, and there are fewer people who can afford it."

"Nowadays, the Maha Temple still raises [White Elephant], [Golden Retriever Roar], [Di Ting] and other divine beasts, but the act of taking blood and cultivating has been greatly reduced."

"However, if Master Chu has [Xuanwu Blood], if he wants to exchange for blood, Lao Wei can help contact him."

"Maybe you can get the blood of the gods, maybe not."

"The old man can't call the shots in this matter."

"Then please ask the Zen master."

Chu Qianqiu agreed at that time, and his mood was still a little depressed.

I didn't expect that Wanshou Temple was quite poor in this regard, and he didn't get a few [King Kong] bloodlines, or [Godzilla] bloodlines, which was really vain for the leader of the righteous path in the world.

I didn't pick up the money when I went out, so I lost it.

Imperial Palace, Cining Palace

Chu Qianqiu cleaned up his mood, took the treasure soldiers of Emperor Lizong's divine soul, and came to Cining Palace, he still remembered the Empress Dowager's entrustment. (Note: Chapter 581)

In order to ensure that the Queen Mother was in a good mood, he deliberately came to visit at the beginning of the cycle.

Sure enough, when I saw him, the Queen Mother seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Chu Zhongwu, you are really a believer, and you have not forgotten the entrustment of the mourning family." The Empress Dowager saw Chu Qianqiu coming over as soon as possible, and asked the maid Luo Bing to take over the treasure soldier, and the jade hand rubbed twice, and the treasure soldier was trembling.

"Chu Aiqing, you promised me." Emperor Lizong looked nervous, he knew what he had done.

Dou Chanjuan had a man and a woman with him, but they were both dead.

The crown prince was his spare body, and his daughter died to prolong his life.

Those deep love and love have long disappeared, and those sweet memories that were once together have become as cold as returning to ruins.

"Bing'er." The Empress Dowager sealed Emperor Lizong's shouts with her divine soul and summoned her personal maid.

This personal maid followed all the way from Fengzhou, and was a member of her mother's family, loyal to the Empress Dowager more than loyal to the emperor.

"Mother, please command."

"Put this treasure into the night pot of the mourning family."

"Chu Aiqing, Chu ......" Emperor Lizong was still shouting, and he was quickly gagged.

"Mother, wouldn't it be too wasteful?" Luo Bing said with some surprise

。

She didn't mind throwing Emperor Lizong into the Night Pot, but she thought the treasure soldiers were too wasteful.

"Soak it first, and then throw it in the dung bucket when you're free."

The Queen Mother said mercilessly.

"Chu Zhongwu's lost treasure soldiers, free the palace to compensate."

"Wechen has no objection." Chu Qianqiu immediately saluted and said, he brought this treasure soldier to let the Queen Mother vent her evil anger and exchange for a little benefit by the way.

"Yes, sis." Luo Bing had no opinion when he saw Chu Qianqiu, so he naturally acted according to the instructions of the Queen Mother.

"By the way, let him shout, the louder he shouts, the happier the mourning family will be."

As soon as the Empress Dowager's words came out, even Chu Qianqiu felt a chill, not to mention Emperor Lizong.

"Chanjuan, a one-day husband and wife for a hundred days......

Emperor Lizong shouted for help, but his former empress mother, now the empress dowager turned a deaf ear, her eyes were on Chu Qianqiu's body, and she replied in a soft voice:

"Chu Zhongwu, if you have any requests, just put them forward."

"If the mourning family can do it, I will help you do it."

Is it okay to ask for anything?

You can come back a few more times in the future.

"Queen Mother, I want to know about Shanghui Zen Master, and who should I ask for help when I go to Fengzhou in the future?" Chu Qianqiu asked.

The Queen Mother's face changed slightly, she didn't expect that Shangjing had just completed the coup, and Chu Qianqiu was thinking about the matter of Fengzhou.

Sure enough, he was a man of foresight.

No wonder he was able to toy with the old emperors between applause.

The Shence Army and the Dou family can't be enemies with him.

The Queen Mother quickly made a decision:

"When Zen Master Shanghui went to Kongo Temple, it was to redivide the frontier."

"Divide the frontier?"

I haven't heard this matter mentioned by Zen Master Zu Yuan and Meng Fuzi.

"Although the Kongo Temple is based in Fengzhou and occupies a state, their ascetics are quite fanatical and often preach outwards."

"The efforts of the Kongo Temple to preach to Yuzhou and Luozhou in Bactria have yielded fruitful results, but they have also caused serious friction on the border."

"In addition to the sacrifices, half of the Ministry of Rites is dealing with complaints from the Taichang Temple in Daxia, complaining that the Vajra Temple violated the agreement to preach."

"Tai Changqing of Great Xia said this, if the Shenwu Dynasty can't restrain what the King Kong Temple does, then the Gui Sect and the Si Ming Sect will take action."

"Not only that, but the King Kong Temple is also spreading its influence to Yunzhou, Lingzhou, and Yongzhou."

The Queen Mother didn't like the King Kong Temple, so she was a little heavier in tone, which made Chu Qianqiu understand some of the situation at that time.

"The Temple of Light has a lot of headaches about this."

"Because in order to prevent the bloody strife between different sects of Buddhism to spread their teachings, in recent centuries, it has been the dialectical assembly that has begun to draw borders."

"Whoever wins at the dialectical conference will have a larger territory for the spread of doctrine."

"However, Kongoji Temple has lost several times in a row, and they have lost to Koukouji Temple."

"But they lost and didn't plan to admit it, so the Temple of Light wanted to settle accounts with them."

"The imperial court was optimistic about this, and sent some officials of the Ministry of Rites to preside over it, including the current Ministry of Rites."

It's really all acquaintances.

Chu Qianqiu didn't expect that the person who went to the King Kong Temple to coordinate the contradictions back then actually had Zhu Xingxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

It seems that I have to go to his house to sit when I have time, and he also gave me several Shengsheng Creation Pills, good man.

"And then Kongoji repented?" Chu Qianqiu asked.

"No, they agreed."

"Under the arguments of Zen Master Shanghui, Kongoji Temple agreed to withdraw from the scope of the dispute, and promised the imperial court that it would not be difficult for the imperial court in Yuzhou and Luozhou."

The Queen Mother also frowned, and this suspenseful case has always been pressing on her heart

。

"What happened later, Chu Zhongwu should also know."

"After everything was negotiated, the next day, it was the Heavenly Descending Festival in Fengzhou, and Shanghui Zen Master died violently."

"But there is another secret thing that the mourning family can tell Chu Zhongwu."

"Mother, please speak."

"Come closer, you can't let the second person know."

The Empress Dowager waved her jade hand a little lazily, signaling Chu Qianqiu to approach.

Chu Qianqiu didn't think much about it, so he walked in front of the Queen Mother, and then heard a secret sound transmission.

[That night, the sect master of the Hehuan Sect had a private meeting with Shanghui Zen Master. 】

Isn't it, so exciting?
