Everyone was seated in the shrine, and Lucius was naturally enshrined on the main seat, which could be regarded as a demonstration of Lucius's status, and since there were other Lucius partners present, naturally Oda Nobumitsu and Taiyuan Yukisai, their ronin samurai representatives, could only sit in the back.

After taking his seat, the monk Yiqing was a little dissatisfied with this, and whispered to Oda Nobumitsu beside him: "Why can we only sit here? Could it be that those who followed the Lord first were stronger than us?"

Oda Nobumitsu was actually a little dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to express himself, and when he heard Monk Yiqing muttering to himself, he just snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

However, as soon as the monk saw Oda Nobumitsu's dissatisfaction, he hurriedly continued to lower his voice and said: "Oda-kun, I am not worthy of you, I think you are a dignified ghost warrior, and you have to be condescended to the back seat, how can this be worthy of your identity? Not to mention that there are still those ronins under your command, how will your subordinates think of it?"

Yiqing monk's words made Oda Nobumitsu's heart move a little, and he lowered his head and began to think, at this moment his loyalty to Lucius was shaken a little.

Seeing this, the monk planned to continue to persuade him, wanting to make Oda Nobumitsu turn against Lucius, so that he would also get an ally, and maybe he would be able to do something more smoothly in the future.

However, before Oda Nobumitsu could speak again, Taiyuan Xuezhai, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly reprimanded in a low voice: "Yiqing, you'd better recognize your identity, if you sow discord again, don't blame me Taiyuan Xuezhai for not being emotional, don't think that everyone doesn't know your face." ”

Taiyuan Xuezhai unceremoniously reprimanded, which immediately frightened the monk Yiqing. Nervously looking at Lucius, who was sitting on the main seat, he found that the latter did not seem to notice his small movements. I breathed a sigh of relief.

And Taiyuan Xuesai's words also reminded Oda Nobumitsu. He woke up in an instant, remembered his current identity, and when he looked at Monk Yiqing again, he understood the sinister intention of what the other party had just said.

Oda Nobumitsu shouted in a low voice: "Stinky monk, you dare to provoke me? Do you want me to turn my back on the Lord? Hmph, you are delusional, if there is a next time, I will definitely use the knife in my hand to cut off your head." Remember, this is the first and last time. ”

After that, Oda Nobumitsu got up directly, changed to Taiyuan Xuezhai and sat down, and when he looked at Monk Yiqing, his eyes unabashedly revealed a strong malice.

Monk Yiqing wanted to explain something, but suddenly heard Lucius's voice sound: "Yiqing, it seems that that position is not suitable for you, you come here." In the middle, I have something I want to ask you. ”

Hearing Lucius's words, the monk was immediately startled, and hurriedly responded: "Lord, you don't have to take care of me. Yiqing doesn't have any merits yet, so it's very appropriate to sit in the last seat, so there is no need to change positions. Lord, you don't have to bother, I'm sitting here fine. ”

Lucius couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said, "I said it." I have something to ask you, let you sit in the middle. Didn't you hear me so that I could ask you questions?"

Monk Yiqing felt that although Lucius was smiling, his words contained an undoubted taste, so he could only stand up and walk out, come to Lucius, and sit down in front of everyone's eyes.

Seeing Yiqing sit down, Lucius looked at Du Liniang and said, "Auntie, this Yiqing monk, a monk from Middle-earth, I think you should have a lot of questions to ask him, right? After all, Middle-earth used to be your hometown, and you have been missing it for a long time. ”

Hearing Lucius's words, Du Liniang looked at Monk Yiqing, who also looked at her in the same light, and the two looked at each other for a moment.

Du Liniang said directly in the language of Middle-earth: "I don't know where you are from Middle-earth, little master, which sect of Middle-earth are you a monk, and which virtuous monk you are under your tutelage from?"

Monk Yiqing was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that next to Lucius, a young man from the West, there was actually a person from Middle Earth, which could only exist in legends, and he couldn't believe that he would actually see a real person in Fusang Country.

After being stunned for a while, the monk finally came back to his senses, folded his hands and saluted Du Liniang, and then replied in the same Middle-earth language: "The little monk is from Chang'an, and the family teacher is Huiguo of Qinglong Temple." ”

"Qinglong Temple?" Du Liniang lowered her head when she heard this, thought about it and said, "So, you are a disciple of Tantra? Have you reached the Vajra Master now?"

Seeing that Du Liniang said that she was from Buddhist Tantra, Yiqing monk understood that the other party was really from Middle-earth, and he was a person who was very familiar with Middle-earth, so he replied even more respectfully: "No, the little monk is still some distance away from the Vajra Master, and now he is only a Vajra monk, and he has just undergone the second tantric practice. ”

Du Liniang nodded and explained to Lucius: "You are lucky, he has just undergone the second Vajra Tantric cultivation, and I am afraid that he is still in a weak state, so he will be subdued by you." ”

Later, Du Liniang explained to Lucius: "In the Tantric Buddhism of Middle Earth, every monk has to go through Vajra Tantra to continuously improve his own strength, ordinary monks can only become Vajra monks after five times of tantric practice, and Vajra monks who want to become Vajra Guru must go through seven Vajra Tantras." ”

Lecius asked with some confusion, "Then why did he have a period of weakness? Could it be that Vajra tantric practice is dangerous? Then why should he take the risk of doing tantric practice?"

Du Liniang smiled when she heard this: "Naturally, it is very dangerous, every time Vajra Tantra is a kind of tempering for themselves, the Vajra power of Tantra is not so easy to digest, so it needs to be divided into many times." ”

"After becoming a Vajra Master, you still need to continue to practice tantric practice, and after nine times of tantric practice, you can become a Vajra Holy Buddha, and the monks at that time probably have the power of the gods, which can be compared with the heavenly upper level of existence, which is also the highest state of Tantric monks' practice. ”

was revealed by Du Liniang about the secrets of the Middle Earth Tantra, and the monk felt like he had been stripped naked, and there was no way to hide all the secrets in front of the other party.

Just when the monk of Yiqing was frightened, Du Liniang suddenly asked him: "By the way, now in the ancestral court of the Middle Earth Esoteric Sect, is there a Vajra Holy Buddha?"

Monk Yiqing didn't dare to slack off in the slightest when he heard this, and hurriedly replied to Du Liniang: "Since the family teacher sat down, there is no Vajra monk in the Middle Earth Tantra now, but there are two Eight Tantric Vajra Masters in charge, under the command of the two masters, and there are four Six Tantric Vajra Masters, two of which are in Fusang. ”

Du Liniang shook her head and sighed, "There are only two Eight Tantric Vajra Masters? It seems that the Tantric Buddhism of Middle-earth has begun to decline, so which sect of Middle-earth is the most prosperous now?"

Monk Yiqing continued to answer: "The most prosperous sects in Middle-earth are naturally Taoism and Confucianism, of course, there are also Fa, Mo and other schools, our Buddhism can also be called strong, but the most prosperous sect of Buddhism is Zen Buddhism, and the other sects are not as strong as Zen Buddhism. ”

"It doesn't seem that much has changed, I can't imagine that I have been powerful for more than a hundred years, and the situation is still the same as at the beginning, by the way, the most powerful empire in Middle-earth is still the Tang Dynasty?"

Monk Yiqing nodded and said: "Yes, the most powerful in Middle-earth is naturally my Tang Dynasty, but now all kinds of contradictions within the imperial court are highlighted, and my Tang Dynasty's country is not stable, fortunately, Emperor Taizong shocked the Quartet, and the surrounding countries, large and small, did not dare to invade." ”

"Oh? The internal contradictions of the imperial court are prominent? What is going on? Could it be that the Tang Dynasty has fallen apart?"

Monk Yiqing shook his head and said: "No, my Tang Dynasty is still stable, but the internal contradictions in the imperial court are very deep, and the Holy Queen has signs of monopolizing power, and the Tang royal family naturally wants to fight with it." ”

Du Liniang suddenly fell silent when she heard this, she had been away from the Oriental artistic conception for more than a hundred years, and she really didn't know much about the situation in Middle Earth, and she almost didn't know who the holy queen in the mouth of the Yiqing monk was?

Seeing that Du Liniang was silent, Yiqing Monk thought that Du Liniang might have something to do with the Tang royal family, so he hurriedly comforted: "But you don't have to worry, the children of the Tang royal family are not mediocre, and they can still suppress the Holy Queen." ”

Du Liniang came to her senses when she heard this, and understood that the monk had misunderstood her thoughts, so she smiled and said: "Hehe, I'm not worried, I'm just a person who was abandoned by the Tang Dynasty, how can I go back and worry about the Tang Dynasty?

The monk was stunned at first, and then thought of Du Liniang's claim that he had been away for more than 100 years, and immediately stared at Du Liniang in shock and said, "You, you have really left Middle-earth for more than 100 years?"

Du Liniang smiled and nodded, "That's natural, when I left, it was just the founding of the Tang Empire, and the Emperor Taizong in your mouth was only afraid that it should be the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty at that time, right?"

Monk Yiqing was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking carefully for a moment, he said: "Yes, I heard that before Emperor Taizong registered, he was indeed named the King of Qin, and it is said that Emperor Taizong relied on a coup d'état to ascend the throne, and killed his brothers with his own hands, and finally coerced Taizu to give him the throne." ”

Du Liniang couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "Hehe, when I saw King Qin back then, I knew that he was a restless guy, and a ruthless guy, but I didn't expect him to succeed." ”

Saying that, Du Liniang couldn't help laughing and said, "However, even if he succeeds, what if he succeeds? ”

The monk Yiqing was completely frightened and speechless, he didn't dare to imagine that a woman who had seen Emperor Taizong could actually come back from the West after leaving Middle-earth for more than a hundred years, and she didn't look old on the surface, which simply subverted the cognition of the monk Yiqing.
