The hundred-foot pavilion is towering.

Yu Wenyong stood quietly in the railing on the top floor, holding a glass in his hand, sniffing the fragrance of tea on the tip of his nose, but his eyes looked down at Chang'an City, which was crisscrossed by houses.

In the past, although he was the nominal lord of Chang'an, he was actually just a spectator.

However, from now on, Chang'an City really belongs to him, Da Zhou also belongs to him, and the world will also belong to him...... If anyone tries to stand in his way, or even to press on his head, he will be hit mercilessly.

"Click......

The sound of feet stepping on a plank is close behind.

Yu Wenyong didn't look back, only asked lightly, "What's wrong?"

He Quan, the white and chubby eunuch, said respectfully: "You Chuhong shot first, Dugu Jialuo then assisted, and they were all restrained, and Yang Jian came to the rescue, and he didn't take advantage."

According to Yang Jian's judgment, he is not from the Demon Gate!"

Yu Wenyong thought thoughtfully, "Really...... Instead, I hope he's really a man from the Demon Gate!"

He Quan was puzzled: "Your Majesty, this demon gate is full of evil......

Yu Wenyong said disapprerovingly: "I am not a monk, and Da Zhou is not a temple, whether he is a demon or not, he can only be used by me, what about the people in the demon gate?"

After a pause, Yu Wenyong's eyes revealed a cold glow, "On the contrary, if it can't be used by me, or if it is in my way, it doesn't matter if he is truly merciful or falsely merciful......

He Quan lowered his head, his eyes flickered, but his tone did not fluctuate, "As long as Your Majesty hints slightly, does the Buddha Sect dare to disobey Your Majesty's will?...... It must be used by His Majesty as well?"

The corners of Yu Wenyong's mouth pulled up a silent sneer, "It's for the use of Buddhism, right?"

The corners of He Quan's eyes shrank, and his expression darkened for a moment. Fu said calmly: "For hundreds of years. The relationship between Mingjiao and the imperial court. That's pretty much the case, it's just a mutual benefit.

If Your Majesty wants to change, I'm afraid it won't be easy......"

Yu Wenyong muttered: "The monks are ten times larger than the official army, the temple is more luxurious than the imperial palace, and the temple field is not less than the official field...... If we continue to benefit each other, I will not destroy the Buddha, but the Buddha will be destroyed!"

Although Yu Wenyong had no intention of turning around, He Quan still kept his head down. Trying his best to hide his subtle facial changes more hidden......

After a moment of silence, Yu Wenyong asked again, "Where did you lose his trace?"

He Quan raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed on his face, "Your Majesty is like a god......

In accordance with His Majesty's instructions, we supervised his itinerary according to the imperial horse branded with the imperial seal and the package containing the finest castings, and finally lost his trace in Yingzhou (Ezhou).

That royal horse appeared in the Yingzhou Horse Market, and the wrapped skin was still on the saddle, but his person and precious castings were missing!"

Yu Wenyong frowned, shook his head and said with a smile: "Yingzhou...... Yingzhou. What a three-country border!

Forget it, don't worry about where he's coming from for now. Where do you go...... As long as he still has something to ask for in Da Zhou in the future, I will finally let me figure out his path!"

The sun is scorching, and people are steaming.

In the pavilion, Shi Zhixuan caressed the cold and shining sword body of the Blood Sword, and the cold breath penetrated through his fingers.

Feeling the killing intent contained in the faint blood light of the sword blade, the killing sword intent that had been sleeping for a long time in the depths of his body and mind was ready to move again, but it seemed that there was still something missing, and he couldn't wake up after all.

"This sword should be a deep stream cold spring with cold iron on the bottom of the sea as the main material, and it is also used when quenching......"

Shi Zhixuan muttered to the material identification of this sword of the Qingliu Famous Scholar that originated from the Confucian general Xie Xuan, and now there is a blade transformed into a bloodthirsty demon sword.

On the stone table beside him, there were two wrapped skins, both of which were piled with the finest castings, one of which was stolen from the Nanchen Imperial Palace a few years ago, and the other was the reward for the killing of Yuwen Hu in the north, which came from the treasures of the Northern Zhou Inner Treasury.

There are more than ten kinds of superb casting materials such as hardware elites, dark iron essences, submarine cold iron, extraterrestrial meteoric iron, black gold sand, etc., which are coveted by ordinary martial arts people.

Zhang Lihua approached in a curling manner, wearing a light pink tulle with an indescribable crystal complexion, and her childish and beautiful face had not disappeared, adding more charm to the soul.

The beautiful eyes with a thousand words flashed from time to time, clear as the moon, secluded as a sweet spring, and swept the hearts of the people.

Shi Zhixuan raised his head and focused his eyes on her delicate body that was in full bloom, as if watching her most perfect work, with love and praise in her eyes, "Why don't you sleep more?"

On the night of his return, he didn't break his promise and swallowed her with a bone...... Carrying the rich essence he has accumulated for more than ten years, Zhang Lihua has completed the most important transformation in her life.

The side effect is that the [Yuqing Dan Solution], which she had just laid a solid foundation, jumped to the innate realm and officially entered the Dan Dao under the best benefits of the first double ** cultivation.

The essence that inadvertently overflowed in her beautiful eyes was the appearance that she had not yet fully mastered her skills.

Slender hands gently put the tea tray on the table, Zhang Lihua's face was slightly red, and while pouring tea, she said coquettishly: "It's almost noon, when will you sleep?"

Herbal tea gives you ......"

Shi Zhixuan took the herbal tea and said a little strangely: "When did you have the heart to make herbal tea and serve people?"

Zhang Lihua said confidently: "Didn't my mother always say that when you grow up, you should learn to be a good wife and mother, so I tried to cook it once......"

Shi Zhixuan sniffed the diffuse aroma of herbal tea, and felt extremely familiar, it seemed to be the kind he had been drinking for more than ten years, and he looked at her in a blink of an eye, and doubted: "Could this herbal tea be boiled in your alchemy furnace, and you can't drink the dead, right?"

Zhang Lihua crossed her hands on her hips and said indignantly: "What nonsense, this is my mother's own cooking...... Ah......h

Shi Zhixuan shook his head and smiled, "I'll just say it...... How is it exactly the same as the senior sister's cooking!"

Zhang Lihua snorted, stomped her feet, sat down, and suddenly stared at the pile of cherished castings on the table, which meant to change the topic, "Don't you have that sword, why do you need so much broken copper and iron?"

If you have time to toss around, you might as well help me practice a real elixir of immortality!"

Shi Zhixuan snorted: "You are fooling around when you make that broken stove...... The avenue of heaven and man, how can you turn to grass and ashes?

When you have time, you should seriously participate in Dangong. It's just a matter of success. You can live forever. Eternal Youth ......"

Zhang Lihua's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she said disapprerovantly: "Do you practice...... Originally, I practiced at night, but now I don't have you to help me practice!"

Shi Zhixuan rolled his eyes and was completely speechless, but after the innate time, the practice must indeed have the best effect intentionally or unintentionally, and it should not be forced......

Taking a sip of mellow herbal tea, Shi Zhixuan stroked the Blood Sword. Continue to conceive of the raw material recipe and smelting method for casting top-grade sword embryos.

Originally, if he just used a sword, this bloody sword in Shi Zhixuan's hand would be enough, or even the sword finger that he was getting closer to the golden body treasure body could also be, so he didn't have to bother forging another sword.

However, in order to complete some conjectures, he will eventually need a psychic sword that perfectly matches his spiritual powers......

This is precisely what it is difficult to achieve with the bloody sword that has had more than one generation of masters!

In fact, the reason why Shi Zhixuan did not wash the sword body with the pure and majestic qi of the most masculine and rigid after using this sword to kill wildly, and let it be demonized by blood, evil qi, and death qi, was also to accumulate experience for the psychic sword to be cast in the future.

The backyard of the temple. Secluded bamboo forest.

As soon as Shi Zhixuan saw Daoxin's back, he knew that he had something in his heart. As for what...... Hehe!

Daoxin turned around, his always witty and uninhibited face was heavy and inexplicable, which made Shi Zhixuan quite uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but say: "Shizun, but how many games of chess have you lost in a row?"

Let the disciples guess, do you lose to Master Jiaxiang or to Master Wisdom?"

"Ahem...... Daoxin cleared his throat and said disapprerovitically: "The chessboard wins and loses, but it's a common thing, how can you worry about it as a teacher?"

As he spoke, he looked at Shi Zhixuan's handsome face with a smile and quipped, "Look at your radiant appearance, isn't it a great improvement in Zen skills?"

"Recently, I have participated in the enlightenment of Huan * Xi * Zen, and I have understood the true meaning of color * emptiness......" Shi Zhixuan still smiled, and said without a preface: "I don't care about the outcome of the chessboard, so what kind of victory or defeat makes the master care?"

After a pun on each other, Daoxin returned to his former demeanor, and said with a radiant expression: "Oh, since you have moved your mortal heart, why don't you return to vulgarity with the approval of the teacher?"

Shi Zhixuan glanced at him, "No need, the disciple has become a monk, and he has neither surrendered to the demon girl of the Yin Sect that you can't avoid, nor has he seen the Cihang Jingzhai Master who asked the master to worship you under the skirt, so why is it okay?"

Daoxin suddenly realized, "Well, since you have this grand wish, how can you not become a teacher?...... Right now, there's such an opportunity!"

Shi Zhixuan was unmoved and said: "The monks don't speak, and the master wants to coax me." ”

Daoxin sighed, and suddenly said: "The ban on Buddha in the Northern Zhou Dynasty is not far away!"

Shi Zhixuan said strangely: "Who came from the news?...... How far is it?"

Daoxin said lightly: "What are the sources, there are not only Jiaxiang and Emperor Xin, but also what I heard by Zen Buddhism...... The specific time for the ban on Buddha will not be next year, or the year after next. ”

Shi Zhixuan's eyes flashed, "Shouldn't you invite Cihang Jingzhai or Jingnian Zen Monastery out?"

Daoxin was silent for a moment, "Last time they wanted to make peace with the clan, we haven't given it until now......"

Shi Zhixuan raised his eyebrows, "What is their influence in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and can they solve the matter of banning Buddha?"

Daoxin shook his head and smiled, "In terms of the impact on the Northern Zhou Dynasty alone, Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Monastery together are not as good as the old and bald Huayan Sect of Emperor Xin.

The matter of banning Buddha is not just the intention of Emperor Yuwen Yong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, in fact, many people of insight who hope that after the Northern Zhou Dynasty becomes rich and strong, they will make contributions in the defeat of Qi and Chen and unify the world, and they also secretly support and promote this matter.

Among them, there are many intertwined Guan Long generals......

Even if Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Monastery dare to risk ruining their reputation and do something disagreeable, most of them will still not be able to stop this!"

Shi Zhixuan bowed slightly, "After all, the temple is too rich, which has caused too many people to be red-eyed......

It seems that our Zen Buddhism should have a good life and rectification, and in the future, completely abolish those bad habits of frivolity and prodigy, keep everything simple, and advocate asceticism...... Let's just start with this move south!

If some of the senior brothers are unwilling, they might as well be transferred to the luxurious temples in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, wouldn't it just follow their hearts?"

Daoxin shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You said it lightly, our Zen Buddhism has a lot of roots in the north and south, and it is not a big deal to move south or north for decades.

But the foundation of Emperor Xin and Huayan Sect is all in the territory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, if they all move south, you will provide them with temples and land?"

Shi Zhixuan disagreed, "Those Huayan Sect Buddhas who are used to being in the north are really willing to move south?"

You're worried, aren't you?"

Daoxin smiled bitterly, "Whether they are willing to move south or not, whether they can move or not, the four of us have to do everything possible to find a solution." ”

Shi Zhixuan's eyes burned and said, "The best way to solve it is not to solve it...... The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge!"

Daoxin thoughtfully, "This is not a good idea......

Well, the forbidden Buddha can be banned for a while, and it will not be forbidden for a lifetime, so it is good to screen those fat pigs that have mixed into the sand gate.

Maybe it's a good opportunity to close the gap......"

As he spoke, he touched his nose and squinted in contemplation.

Shi Zhixuan naturally knew that whether it was in the Southern Buddhism or the Northern Buddhism, Zen Buddhism was a rising star, and even the Huayan Sect, Tiantai Sect, and the Three Treatises Sect were not old forces.

The four sects are all emerging factions within a hundred years, but they have come from behind, temporarily overwhelming the vast majority of loose factions in the north and south, and are the four main sects of Buddhism!

But in fact, the temples and monks of the four major sects together only account for less than 10% of the total number of temples and monks in the north and south.

If the four sects are the four major listed companies and have a better reputation, then the countless other temples and monks of Buddhism are large and small private enterprises, occupying actual interests far beyond fame.

In real terms, everyone is still a competitor!

On the occasion of the reshuffle of the northern Buddhist forces, if Daoxin and Zen Buddhism have not thought about how to use this to foreshadowing as early as possible, so that Zen Buddhism will go to a higher level after the end of the ban on Buddhism, and Shi Zhixuan will not believe it!

Daoxin suddenly said: "I heard that the Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty intends to convene Taoist priests, monks and hundreds of officials to explain the order of the names of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, do you want to take a trip?"

What good is this thankless task?...... Shi Zhixuan muttered secretly and refused: "The disciple has been participating in Zen meditation recently, and his inspiration is pouring in, and he is ready to retreat for a period of time, and he is about to report to the master!"

Daoxin smiled and said, "Are you afraid that you will lose face if you lose the debate?"

How could Shi Zhixuan be provoked by him? said lightly: "Winning or losing is just a dream bubble, what is the way?"

I secretly thought in my heart: After the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Buddha, I will cut down Qi, I have to hurry up and cast the psychic sword, how can I have time to waste saliva with a group of Taoist priests and Confucian scholars who can only play tricks?

Daoxin raised his hand and patted his bare head, "Anyway, you can't lose to Daomen in the debate, otherwise in the future, the Northern Zhou Dynasty will only ban Buddha and not ban Taoism, then you will be happy......" (To be continued.) )

PS: There is something delayed today, there is only one watch, kneel and beg for forgiveness......
