Li Qing opened his eyes in astonishment.

The little princess opened a pair of watery eyes and was looking at the Jingwei bird eagerly.

Li Qing couldn't laugh or cry.

The Jingwei bird that landed on its shoulder was already crying and flying.

The guard behind the little princess pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and his eyes stared vigilantly at Jingwei Bird and Li Qing.

Jingwei fell to the ground and changed back to his true form. With his cheeks puffed out, he stared at a pair of big eyes, and said angrily, "See, I'm human!"

The little princess looked at the cute little sycamore, and curiously stretched out her hand to rub her little face, "It's really a human! How can you become a bird?"

Wutong opened the little princess's hand, walked to Li Qing's side and sat down, and also closed her eyes to recuperate.

The voice of the little princess sounded in my ears again, "Hey, can you turn into a goblin in human form?"

The corners of Wutong's mouth twitched, and he opened his eyes, "You're the goblin!"

The two little guys were chattering, Li Qing smiled, and his heart was rarely clear.

......

The king of the bhikshu kingdom was in the prime of life, and he looked like he was in his thirties, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a white face and no beard, and he did not have the domineering spirit of a king, but was more like a scholar, gentle as jade.

The place where Li Qing was met was in a small pavilion in the imperial garden of the palace, with pavilions spread out on both sides of the pavilion, and verdant pines, cypresses and bamboos dotted with mountain stones, which was very meaningful.

One stone table, two teas.

"What does the Taoist chief think of the bhikshu kingdom under the rule of Lone?"

"The government is harmonious, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they deserve a paradise on earth. ”

The king was open-minded and said with a smile, "I am a bhikshu country, blessed by the remnants of the ancestors, although there are still natural disasters for me, but it is generally peaceful. So far, there are millions of people, and when they get to the Yellow Spring, they are not ashamed of their ancestors. ”

Li Qingdao said, "Your Majesty is wise and martial, loves the people like a son, and the people naturally pray for Your Majesty with gratitude, and it is not difficult to get a personal longevity." ”

The king shook his head and smiled, "Why should the Taoist deceive me. How can a ruler live a long life?"

Li Qing didn't answer, laughed and didn't say anything.

"Dare to ask Dao Chief, I heard that cultivators can take bait and be convinced, and they can also cook gold and stones, and burn pills, even if mortals take them, they can also live forever, but is it true?"

Li Qing shook his head, "The poor road is just a mountain and a wild scattered person, and I really don't know such secret techniques." ”

The king took a sip of tea, covered up the loss in his heart, and smiled with relief for a moment, "It's a lonely presumptuous, please don't blame the Taoist chief." ”

"It doesn't matter. Li Qing smiled and continued, "I heard from the princess that Your Majesty invited Poor Dao to come here to discuss important matters, but does Your Majesty need Poor Dao's service for anything?"

"A few days ago, I heard that the Thousand Buddha Temple was also a person who experienced it?"

"That's right, the abbot of the Thousand Buddhas Temple is the Yaksha Yin Ghost, mutilating the people, hiding filth and dirt, and the so-called Thousand Buddhas are actually thousands of dried corpses. The poor road has been encountered, so naturally it can't be ignored. ”

The king sighed, with a sad look on his face, stood up and wandered two steps, looking up at the sky, "The world is troubled, the people's livelihood is difficult, and there is still a law to cure natural disasters. ”

When Li Qing heard this, he couldn't help but think of Qiyun City, and thought of the fallen City God, which was worshiped by 200,000 people with incense and was a great god at the level of an immortal, and he couldn't help but sigh in his mouth, "Yes, the demon disaster is difficult to cure, and the cultivators of my generation sometimes have more than enough heart but not enough strength." ”

The king said, "It is rare in the world to have both laws, and sometimes it is just the lesser of two powers." ”

Li Qing looked at the king in amazement.

The king turned around, and a pair of eyes as warm as jade suddenly became unfathomable, and the birds were singing and fragrant at this moment, and this time they were cold and fierce.

The king stared at Li Qing, and his voice became indifferent, "Dao Chief, do you understand what Gu means?"

Li Qing's heart was a little cold. Sure enough, is this the king?

Is the life of an ordinary man like a mustard in the eyes of the king, ready to be discarded whenever he needs it?

The king looked at the silent Li Qing, his face changed, like ice and snow melting, and he said softly, "Dao Chief, one person dies and ten people live, thousands of people die and millions live, for the overall situation of the monarch, isn't this the sorrow of loneliness?"

"What about the people who have been abandoned?" Li Qing said, "Do they deserve to die?"

"They are also lonely people. The king waved his hand, as if to convince himself, and his tone became fierce and strong, "Of course Lone doesn't want to see them die. However, Lone is the king of the bhikshu kingdom, and Lone has to consider the entire bhikshu kingdom. Lone needs a Thousand Buddha Temple, and he needs this Buddhist Temple to suppress the demon plague for millions of people. Dao Leader is a cultivator, and he won't understand how vulnerable mortals are in front of those demons!"

The king took two steps and grabbed Li Qing's sleeve, his eyes reddening, "As long as they blow lightly, they will be gone." ”

Li Qing and the king looked at each other, and there was an indescribable feeling in their hearts, "Your Majesty invited Poor Dao to come here, what is the matter, please speak up." ”

The king gathered his mind, tidied up his appearance, saluted respectfully to Li Qing, and said, "The Thousand Buddha Temple is gone, and the Bhikshu Kingdom needs a cultivator to take charge. Lonely, I wish to worship the Taoist chief as a national teacher! I also ask the Taoist chief to have mercy and relieve the people's livelihood from hanging upside down. ”

Li Qing let go of his body and said, "The poor road is just a mountain and a wild scattered person, how can He De be a national teacher for a country? Your Majesty should ask another master!"

"My bhikshu country is in the wilderness, it is rare for a cultivator to settle down, as soon as the Thousand Buddha Temple goes, the demon disaster is imminent, and I ask the Taoist chief to have mercy. ”

"Although the poor Dao loves to be quiet, if there are demons harming people, they will never sit idly by, as for the position of this national teacher, it is better to be exempted. The red dust is disturbing, hindering my cultivation. ”

Only then did the king straighten up and said with a smile, "There is a long saying that you can be lonely and worry-free." ”

Li Qing said, "Poor Dao once heard a saying that the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light. I hope that the country of bhikshus will be peaceful under the rule of His Majesty. Poor farewell. ”

Li Qing whistled in his mouth, Jingwei Bird flew over, his feet slammed to the ground, and a golden light flashed on the spot, and he was no longer visible.

The king stood still, stunned, and smiled.

......

Li Qing naturally didn't care what the bhikshu king thought, and how he governed the country had nothing to do with him. The only thing he has to do at the moment is to practice, and he will practice until he can kill the big lion.

As for the Manjushri Bodhisattva behind the big lion, Li Qing didn't think about it so much, with Dinghaizhu in his hand, it was equivalent to the way of heaven opening the back door for himself, but it was just a soldier coming to block it, and the water came to cover it.

Without the Thousand Buddha Temple, the lives of the people have not changed much, and there has been no evil disaster in the mouth of the king.

Li Qing practiced every day, not to refine spiritual power, nor to figure out the meaning of the law, but to restrain his mind, polish his Dao heart, and improve his mental strength.

People have joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and although these emotions can transform their minds, they come and go quickly.

Therefore, it is necessary to polish and improve by practicing the method of meditation, if the mental strength is enough to make up for this shortcoming, Li Qing's supernatural powers will undoubtedly be able to step up to a big step.
