Chapter 45: Royal Ambitions

In the silent meditation room, Li Xuan's body twisted like a snake, his neck was bent and extended, his spine was like a bow, and his eyes were shining, visualizing the heavenly dragon soaring into the sky and flying above the nine heavens!

It has been twenty-five days since the last monthly exam showed the giant elephant form of King Kong's incorruptible body, and there are still five days before the next month, Li Xuan has been working harder and harder recently, hoping to activate the Heavenly Dragon Transformation of Vajra Incorruptible Body one day sooner.

At this moment, the door of the meditation room was violently pushed open, and Xiao Sha Jing staggered in and almost hit the wall!

Li Xuan's mind moved slightly, he had already begun to restrain his qi and blood, stopped his visualization exercises, and his eyes swept over and found the footprints behind Xiao Shami's buttocks, and at the same time heard a deep and continuous breath outside, from which it could be inferred that the other party had a good foundation of internal strength.

Freeloader?

"Are you cultivating the Dragon Elephant Vajra Body? It's comparable to my strength in subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger!" a young man in a gold-inlaid brocade robe strode in and shouted to Li Xuan.

"Donor, where did you come from, what do you mean when you see me?" Li Xuan didn't care about the young man's provocation, his hands and feet loosened, and the hands and feet that were originally entangled were pulled back violently, like a taut rubber band bouncing back violently, and the strong force broke through the air and made a terrifying sound, like the crisp sound of a whip.

The young man in gorgeous clothes and brocade clothes, the extraordinary-looking young man couldn't help but change color when he heard this sound, he was also taught by a famous teacher since he was a child, and he was diligent in his practice, so he naturally knew what this crisp sound meant!

This kind of strength and speed is wearing fish scale armor, and if you are hit by it, you will have to explode your internal organs and bleed from your seven orifices! In comparison, the strength of your own cultivation to subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger is far inferior, and you will know if there is one or no expert as soon as you make a move!

"Uncle Shi, this is the Thirteenth Prince, and I came here to pay a visit to you today. Xiao Shami, Jing Duan, finally seized the opportunity at this time and opened his mouth to introduce.

"Since it's a guest, then please invite your nephew to serve tea. Li Xuan got up and saluted the young man first, and then said to the little novice.

This thirteenth prince was a little confused by Li Xuan's sentence just now, and he was a little confused when he saw what I meant, and he always felt that answering casually would seem to be not graceful enough and not Zen, and he originally planned to find fault but was frustrated at the beginning, and his heart has been very unhappy.

"Tsk, you are obviously his uncle, but you are so polite to him, the monk just doesn't know how to be respectful and lowly. The young prince, who looked to be about fifteen years old, raised his eyebrows disdainfully and spoke.

"When you put yourself in the highest, you are actually in the lowest, and when you put yourself in the lowest, you are actually in the highest. Li Xuan stretched out his finger and asked the young man to sit down, and responded with neither humility nor arrogance.

When the thirteenth prince heard Li Xuan's words, he immediately frowned, he could tell that Li Xuan was accusing himself, but this sentence was quite zen, and he really didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Li Xuan was mentally prepared, and then he had to face the embarrassment of the supporters of the Yuanming family, and he also knew something about the thirteenth prince, but he didn't expect the other party to come so quickly!

Since the last time he showed the form of the Vajra Immortal Giant Elephant, he had gained a lot of prestige in the Prajna Hall and even the entire temple, and the first Benchen Master Ancestor told him about the current situation the next day.

Obviously one of the three giants of Longxin Temple, but the reason why the first seat of the Hannya Hall is in such a difficult situation is that he has been opposing two things that are constantly advancing in Longxin Temple and affecting each other.

First of all, Master Benchen opposed the proliferation of the concept of reciting Buddha and becoming a Buddha in Bodhi Temple, and the means of relying entirely on the strength of the upper echelons of the aristocracy to preach, believing that Longxin Temple, as a holy place, should not have too many common wealth entanglements with the upper nobles of the imperial court.

Although the ideological conflict between Prajnado and Bodhi Temple has been going on for hundreds of years, from the first of this generation, Bodhi Temple has become more and more radical.

In order to completely overwhelm the Prajna Hall, the first seat of the Bodhi Temple accepted the second incident, which led to the Blood Monk Incident ten years ago, which caused the Prajna Hall to suffer heavy losses and completely fail.

Since the first master didn't explain it, Li Xuan also knew that it was not suitable for him to know, but what the second thing was, the first one had already explained it to Li Xuan.

To put it simply, it is the tendency of Longxin Temple to become emperor!

It has been 475 years since the establishment of the Great Qian Dynasty, and the founding Taizu of the Great Qian Dynasty had been helped by the six ancestors, and the Buddha sincerely regarded the six ancestors as confidants and friends.

Before the death of Taizu, the two princes were demoted to concubines and sent to Longxin Temple to become monks; after Taizong succeeded to the throne, he no longer added the title of Zen master in purple clothes, and supported Taoism to actively contact Feixian Temple, that period of time can be said to be the dark period of the relationship between Longxin Temple and the imperial court.

But unconsciously, from then on, the Daqian Dynasty actually formed a convention, and the royal princes who failed to compete for the throne often came to Longxin Temple to become monks.

Four hundred years passed in a flash, seventy-five years ago, Emperor Xuanming actually wanted to directly pass on to Emperor Gongsu, and then come to Longxin Temple to become a monk!

This incident aroused strong opposition from the previous abbot and the head of the Pranya Hall at that time, you don't want to be the emperor to come to the temple to do something!

And you have to bring so many servants to the temple, and you want to come to the temple to be a deputy abbot or the first seat, do you think the monk is a private patrol?

After Emperor Xuanming's plan to become a monk failed, the emperor chose to infiltrate Longxin Temple from other directions, and it was at that time that Bodhi Monastery began to receive strong support from the imperial family.

Originally, the royal monks gathered in the monasteries at the foot of the mountain to hide people's eyes, but the royal family cooperated with the Bodhi Temple, and many monks from the royal family actually entered the Dragon Heart Temple, began to operate their influence in the Dragon Heart Temple, and strengthened the connection between the Bodhi Temple, the royal family, and the great nobles.

In his early years, he was a famous genius in the imperial city, married and had children at the age of eighteen, and entered the temple at the age of twenty to become a disciple of the abbot.

The first seat of the Pranya Hall just felt that the Longxin Temple was a holy place for Buddhism, and it should not be too involved in the world, especially the royal court, and they were worried that the Longxin Temple would suffer a catastrophe.

Li Xuan heard this, but suddenly thought of a Buddhist temple in the Eight Divisions of Tianlong: Tianlong Temple.

Tianlong Temple is Dali National Temple, many emperors will be monks in Tianlong Temple after abdication, it is a national temple and a family temple.

It is precisely because of Tianlong Temple that the Dali Duan clan can rule Dali for a long time, and it is simply the protector of the Dali Duan regime.

In Li Xuan's view, since Emperor Xuanming, the royal family has begun to infiltrate Tianlong Temple, and their purpose should also be to transform Tianlong Temple into a royal temple, with the help of the prestige and strength of the Holy Land, to continue the national fortune as much as possible, and even have deeper plans.

The United Bodhi Institute promotes the concept of chanting the Buddha and getting the Buddha, and the United Bodhi Institute launches many Buddhist instruments and financial routes, all of which are just means of infiltration!

The viciousness of his heart can be imagined!

It's a pity that there are really not many sober Qu Yuan in this temple, one is the head of the old Panruo Hall, the other is the blood monk Yuangang who was beaten into an outcast, and now there is one more Li Xuan.

"You monk, I can't see through you!" The Thirteenth Prince and Li Xuan looked at each other for a moment, but after all, they still couldn't bear his eyes as deep as the sea, and said with some frustration.

"If you see everything through, others won't be able to see through you. Li Xuan indifferently took out the chicken soup for the soul that he had seen before.

As a martial artist, he was not intimidated by an indigenous prince, a young man who was used to oppressing people with his status, but he didn't know that this habit might not be effective forever.

"Monk, are you very good at reading people? will you meet or touch your bones, do you want the master to report your birthday!" The thirteen princes were a little stunned, the words of the monk Kongxuan seemed simple, but they had a deep meaning, and they instinctively made people feel reasonable, but they couldn't think of what the truth was for a while.

The young man was originally proud in his heart, and he was angry that he couldn't refute it with beautiful words, so he simply opened his mouth to mock.

"It's easy to look at people, big things are difficult, look at responsibility, adversity and good times, look at mind, whether it is joy or anger, look at self-cultivation, give and take, look at wisdom, whether it is success or failure, look at persistence. Li Xuan's eyes were deep, and he said slowly, as if he wanted to see the thirteen princes through.

The Thirteen Princes couldn't help but wince, even some famous sayings and aphorisms in this era are mostly from ancient Buddhist scriptures, and most of them are obscure and difficult to understand;

"The mouth can lotus flower is amazing!" The thirteenth prince took out a gilded invitation from his arms, and still shouted in front of Li Xuan: "You have to come, the imperial sister will not invite people easily!"

Li Xuan saw that the thirteen princes were deserted and fled, and he was also proud in his heart, and he was most happy to use these famous sayings and aphorisms and chicken soup for the soul to deal with the soil buns!

But it was this kid who liked to pretend to be shocked by himself when he was young, and it was not so easy to deal with those old foxes.

Li Xuan picked up the gilded post and opened it with a frown.
