He accepted the order in a daze, and thanked him in a daze. Now he becomes a leader? Or is he a high-ranking official?
After seeing off Hou An, Chen Luo looked at Cheng Nansong who was still on Fangcun Mountain. Chen Luo invited him to the study, served him some tea, and then said with a wry smile: "Master Minister of War, what on earth is going on?"
"How come I have become a Dharma image?" "I am only twenty years old!"
Even on ordinary days, whether it was the former Minister of Literature Yan Baichuan, the current Prime Minister Han Qingzhu, or even the Minister of War Cheng Nansong, they all talked and laughed with Chen Luo, and they seemed to be scheming against each other, but then It's because they regard Chen Luo as their nephew and have no restrictions.
But in fact, the four phases of Daxuan are so powerful that they are overwhelming to the heavens!
There are more than 100 million Daxuan creatures. In front of Chen Luo, Cheng Nansong, the weakest of the four phases, the former Dharma phase, even though he has the constraints of the "Aristocratic Saints", he is still an authoritative figure who changes the color of the world with a single order. It can determine the fate, life and death of countless people.
The importance of prime ministerial power can be seen from two things.
The first thing is the first article of Daxuan Law, which says: If the four names are jointly named, you can go to the holy church to dethrone the emperor!
The second thing is that the appointment and dismissal of any of the four phases must be recommended by at least two prime ministers. The emperor cannot be good at it!
Some people compare the four Daxuan phases to the four pillars of the country. Folks also call them the four pillars of the country, and call them "Zhuguo".
But now, I have become one of them. Who else would not be confused!
It would be understandable to say that Chen Luo took over as Tathagata in the Netherworld because of the Great Way of Zen Buddhism; but Chen Luo was somewhat unexpected that the position of Daxuan Dharma Minister fell on him.
If it’s not because of anything else, he can’t be ranked no matter how much he is ranked.
The previous prime ministers were all great Confucian scholars. According to Chen Luo's current guess, they should all be in the realm of seeking, and they were all capable men who looked at the vastness of the state and had a deep understanding of the world's general trends.
How could it be his turn for such a lazy boy?
In fact, Chen Luo had heard about the "Aristocratic Family Saints" from Emperor Lin before, and Chen Luo also wanted to change the status quo. However, when Chen Luo had energy for his own plan at that time, he just wanted to support him and support the new Dharma Minister.
The result - the adc is actually myself? Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't take him!
"My lord, Minister of War, the post of Minister of Law, with the responsibility of national law, is really important. Should the court give it another thought?" Chen Luo still wanted to shirk, "I am only twenty years old, and I haven't made up my mind yet. I am afraid that I will be arrogant. Some are not suitable..."
"Twenty is not too young." Cheng Nansong pinched his beard and said calmly, "Daxuan can get married when he is eighteen. If he is twenty, the children can run away."
"If you want to get rid of arrogance, just get rid of arrogance. If you are honest and prudent, you are not worthy of the title of Young Dharma Minister. As long as you act according to the Daxuan Law, how you act as Dharma Minister is your business. What else do you care about?"
"I am called the Old Pine of Nanshan. That's my nature. When my senior brother Song Ci was the Dharma Chancellor, he was always talkative and would study other people's corpses when he had nothing to do. Isn't he also the Dharma Chancellor?"
Speaking of this, Cheng Nansong paused slightly and then said: "Don't belittle yourself. You were the candidate recommended to His Majesty personally by Wen Sheng before he was canonized, and we and others unanimously approved you."
"Besides, I am not dead. Even if I am dead and Song Sheng is still here, if there is really something difficult to decide, we will help you make suggestions."
"Since the establishment of the Deviation Office, the internal division of labor has been clear and the organization is clear. There are not many things that require the Dharma Prime Minister to personally intervene. It is difficult to do anything wrong even if you want to do it."
"As long as nothing serious happens on weekdays, you should practice when you need to practice, and update when you need to renew. Except for the monthly dharna, which you must participate in, you can even retreat at other times."
Chen Luo frowned slightly. What did you say? As long as nothing big happens?
As soon as the collaboration comes out, it will be a big deal.
Don't think that I don't know, you just want me to hit the noble family because of my stubbornness! However, from this perspective, I am indeed the most suitable person.
The master of martial arts has a bamboo forest as his backing, has a good relationship with the Holy Church and Taoist Palace, and has the same power as the Fang family. The most important thing is that he has a smart mind!
They are both meat and milk and can be exported. One person is a combat platform. Tsk, tsk, tsk, these old men have very vicious eyes. The key is, are you willing?
Seeing that Chen Luo was still hesitating, Cheng Nansong also sighed deeply: "The appearance of the Dharma is indeed a hard job."
"Not as powerful as the Literary Prime Minister, not as powerful as the Political Prime Minister, and not as powerful as the Military Prime Minister. If you encounter a case involving a noble family and a saint, the people will curse you openly and the noble family will laugh at you behind your back. Both sides are not human beings."
"Most of the members of the Legalist family do not end well. Being like my senior brother and like me is already a blessing."
"It's understandable that you don't want to take this trip into troubled waters. It's just... we think you might be able to bring about a change."
"I can make an oath of loyalty. If you, Chen Luo, are in danger, I am willing to risk my life to protect you. If you feel that my promise is not enough, my senior brother Song Ci can also..."
"Prime Minister Cheng, there is no need to say anything." Chen Luo interrupted Cheng Nansong, "I will take over this position." "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. The country needs it, how can I, Chen Luo, escape."
Chen Luo made up his mind. He hesitated before. Naturally, he was not afraid of any holy family, but he felt a little unsure. After all, being responsible for the welfare of billions of human races was different from his previous job as a hands-off shopkeeper in Dongcang City.
It doesn't matter that I have been wronged. Anyway, I am young and thick-skinned, so I am afraid that my negligence will bring losses and suffering to the people.
But since the seniors recognized me so much and left this phase in vain, I would just take it and do my best.
"But..." Chen Luo smiled, "I still have some things to deal with, and it will take a few days."
"That's no problem." Cheng Nansong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Chen Luo had taken over the post of Dharma Chancellor. He made a special trip to persuade Chen Luo to sincerely take up the post. Now that his goal was achieved, some of Chen Luo's small requests came naturally. satisfy.
"How many days will it take? Is ten days enough? I will tell the court now." Cheng Nansong asked. Chen Luo estimated the time and nodded: "Ten days is enough."
At the same time, the documents from Wenchang Pavilion and the Main Hall were also spread throughout Daxuan. Countless people learned the new news from the dew cloth posted at the door of the Yamen and the Di Bao delivered by the inn.
The hero in their minds, the good son of the people of Daxuan, the master of martial arts, Chen Luo, was promoted to Duke Chuan, titled Duke An, and succeeded to the post of Prime Minister.
Then starting from the first day of the first lunar month next year, the year name of Daxuan will be changed to "Xuanzhang", and next year will be the first year of Xuanzhang. Well, this news is not important.
The key is that Marquis Wu has been promoted to a higher rank! Dharma Prime Minister! Prime Minister of the Zhu Kingdom!
This is worth going to a brothel for a drink!
And as the news spread, many people were either happy or crying. Countless voices rang in the hearts of each of the people. "Yes, if it is Wuhou, it will definitely be possible."
"He will definitely be able to uphold justice for us!" "It's almost dawn..." Mozhou, Fang family.
Ever since Chen Luo took off his vest and told the world that Bai Mo was Chen Luo and Chen Luo was Bai Mo in the Southern Wilderness Bloodline Tide, the Fang family closed its doors for the second time within a year.
Rumor has it that on that day, Fang Huaji, the acting head of the Fang family, was so angry that he shook the fate of the Fang family. All the great scholars of the Fang family vomited blood at the same time, and blood flowed into the clan hall.
Even if other disciples of the Fang Family Avenue tried to obstruct it, the Fang Family still inevitably became the laughingstock of the public.
Some storytellers even developed the allusion of "the old enemy and the white friend" to describe the embarrassment of being manipulated by an opponent.
Today, it can be said that this is the most difficult period for the Fang family since they became a holy clan.
At this moment, the head of the Fang family, Fang Huaji, was sitting in the back garden, looking at the autumn leaves that were about to fall on the tree, and sighed deeply.
His appearance at this time seemed to be several dozen years older than before. The half-saint in his family had not yet returned, so he still had to shoulder the responsibility of being the head of the family, but he felt increasingly powerless.
"Have you seen that leaf?" Fang Huaji said to the great scholar of the Fang family beside him, "Look at it, it's obviously the time to fall, but it still clings to the branch. This kind of unyieldingness is our fault. The family is in urgent need now..."
"Master of the family, master of the family!" A shout came, and a descendant of the Fang family quickly ran into the back garden, causing a gust of wind to blow off the leaf.
Fang Huaji: (?｀?д?′)!!
"What's the matter?" Fang Huaji looked at the younger generation running towards him with an angry look on his face. The younger generation of the Fang family was shocked and didn't know what he had done wrong. He could only respectfully offer a jade slip and said: "That person from Zhongjing There's new news coming out."
"What news can be as important as leaves!" Fang Huaji was still puzzled.
"Leaves?" The junior was stunned, but still explained, "It has something to do with Chen Luo."
"Chen Luo?" Fang Huaji was shocked. He quickly took the jade slip and checked it carefully several times with his spiritual consciousness. The anger and sadness on his face gradually dissipated, and finally turned into a hearty laughter. .
"Hahahahaha, hahahaha..." "God helps me, God helps me!"
Amid this laughter, Fang Huaji's complexion slowly turned rosy, and his whole person seemed to look much younger.
"Master, what happened?" A fellow scholar from the Fang family was puzzled and asked quickly.
Fang Huaji handed him the jade slip in his hand, and said to other great scholars of the Fang family: "There is news from Zhongjing that Chen Luo has been appointed as the Prime Minister!"
All the great scholars were stunned for a moment, and then they understood instantly, and all of them looked excited. "Master, are you serious?" "Hahahahaha, this Chen Luo has made a mistake by taking one step!"
"Of the four major signs, I chose the Dharma sign. This is giving us an opportunity!" For a moment, the previous depressing atmosphere in the garden was swept away.
For the common people and even officials, the Dharma Prime Minister is a top figure and cannot be offended. However, for saints from aristocratic families such as the Fang family, this position is not as important as that of a sixth-grade official.
After all, Yan Guan can really file a complaint. Dharma?
Punishment does not go to aristocratic families, and the law does not punish saints. Do you think this rule is a joke? Many Confucian scholars eventually fell for the position of Dharma Chancellor.
Before, Chen Luo was the Taoist Lord of Hongchen and the Lord of Dongcang City. He was outside the entire Daxuan system. The Fang family had nothing to do. But now that Chen Luo has taken the initiative to enter this system, there are countless ways in it. Cleared.
Do you really think that because Chen Luo's status is respected, he can do whatever he wants with his legal status?
If done properly, it is not impossible for Chen Luo to make a big embarrassment in his position as Dharma Prime Minister, make a big mistake, or even fall into a big trap!
The people's disapproval only lasts for a moment.
"Master, you still have to be cautious." A great scholar from the Fang family reminded, "What we can think of may not be thought of by those people."
"But even so, I still recommended Chen Luo to take office, for fear of being defensive." "Especially Chen Luo himself, who has a terrible dark heart, so we should be more careful."
Fang Huaji also nodded slightly and said sonorously: "This time, we need to plan well." "Let's try another way and fight him." "I don't believe it, our Fang family will always lose!"
After saying that, Fang Huaji looked at the fallen tree again and said calmly: "Cut this tree down."
"When the leaves fall, there is no sight left!" Lingzhou, Bamboo Forest.
Ling Chuchu, who was eating roasted bamboo shoots, stopped chewing, listened to the report of a paper clone of the seventh bamboo forest, and said, "The little brother is back?"
"Okay, let's go to Zhongjing and wait for him."
After saying that, Ling Chuchu stood up, looked at the clone and said: "Elder brother has gone to Tianwai, please take good care of your home."
"If I blow up my house, I will take your real body with me and travel around the world, do you hear me clearly?"
Zhulin Lao Qi was excited and said quickly: "Second senior sister, don't worry. I can control myself."
"Hmm!" Ling Chuchu snorted, and then blew a whistle. As the whistle sounded, a huge figure suddenly fell from the sky.
It was a Wuli Tao beast about ten feet tall, exuding a majesty that was no less than that of the Great Sage Wuli Tao in Dongcang City.
Ling Chuchu jumped lightly and sat on the shoulder of the Wuli beast, patted him and said, "Let's go, ma'am..."
"Go to Zhongjing!" "Bury all those who bully my little brother!"
The Mist Beast moved and immediately disappeared from the spot, leaving only two huge bear paw prints on the ground!
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
The news that Chen Luo will be appointed as Dharma Minister is still fermenting, but at this time Chen Luo himself is in the middle of hard work! Chen Luo told Cheng Nansong before that he still had things to deal with, but in fact there were only two things.
First of all, as I said before, if you want to arrange for the wooden body to enter the netherworld, you must bring some local products, such as the manuscript of "Journey to the West", otherwise you will not be sensible.
"Journey to the West" has talked about Kuimu Lang, and then progressed to the story of the Golden Horn King and Silver Horn King in "Pingding Mountain".
In this chapter of the story, there is no special bloodline. The two monsters are both boys who made elixirs for Taishang Laojun before, and there is also a vixen godmother who was beaten to death halfway.
The story this time is really interesting because of the battle of wits surrounding those treasures, Sun Wukong and the Golden Horn and the Silver Horn.
The purple gold gourd that accepts someone's name, the mutton-fat jade purifying bottle that accepts people, and the fairy rope that binds people are all there.
In addition, two treasures, the Seven-Star Sword and the Banana Fan, were also mentioned, but not much was written about them, so we won’t mention them for now.
Because Jian Jia had reminded him before, Chen Luo was very careful when writing the purple gourd, for fear of adding two more gourd earrings to the Qinglong Emperor.
But fortunately, this purple gold gourd has already shed its wooden body and has been refined once, so it is not considered a treasure of heaven and earth. In addition, this time it was written by Chen Luo himself, so there is no change.
But as I write, the Earthly Immortal Avenue seems to be a little wider.
After writing several times in one breath, Chen Luo finally finished writing the "Pingding Mountain" chapter, and then Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
Okay, this time I have a souvenir for Xia Youming. After putting down "Journey to the West", Chen Luo started to prepare for the second thing.
It’s still a code word! "The Biography of Jigong"! Taking over the job of the future Buddha in the netherworld, it has to be expressed.
According to Ksitigarbha, it is necessary to refine a Sambhogakaya and sit on the Zen path, in order to transform the power of aspiration and condense the illusory Buddhist path into reality.
I had planned to take my time before, but now I have Dharma errands coming up, so I decided to do them first so as not to have to worry about both sides later.
Chen Luodao did not rush to write, but looked up the practice method of "Three Body Methods" again in his soul.
To practice the Three Body Dharma, you must first condense the Three Body.
The most orthodox practice is to cultivate the three bodies through Dharma, Wisdom, and Merit. However, Chen Luo is not a real Buddhist disciple after all, so he cannot take this path.
Therefore, Chen Luo planned to borrow foreign objects for practice. He first used the incarnation to practice his skills.
Chen Luo sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and searched for a bit of cyan light in the sea of souls. There was a giant tree faintly in the light.
It is the connection between the wooden body and his soul.
Chen Luo started the "Three Body Method" method and refined this mind with the "Ying Shen Method".
"All Tathagatas have three kinds of bodies. It says: What are the three? One is the incarnation body. The second is the corresponding body. The third is the dharma body. Such three bodies are complete. Accept Anuttarasamyaksambodhi. If you understand it correctly, you will be born and die quickly. ... Good man, how can a Bodhisattva understand and respond to the body? It is called Tathagata. In order for all Bodhisattvas to gain enlightenment... In order to understand the meaning of life, death, and Nirvana. In order to eliminate the fear and joy of all sentient beings in the body... There are thirty-two It represents eighty kinds of good things and a round light on the back of the neck. This is called Yingshen."
The sound of Zen chanting of sutras rang out in Chen Luo's sea of souls. The light in the sea of souls shone brightly, and wisps of golden light were generated, all of which rushed into the cyan light...
Wutong Forest.
Smelling the fragrance of peach blossoms and looking at the baby ginseng on the ginseng fruit tree, Emperor Qinglong is enjoying the rays of the setting sun.
Suddenly, Emperor Qinglong frowned. "Huh?" "Strange, why did you suddenly think of the Tathagata who sought death?"
"Ancient Buddhism, such a distant memory..." "Oh, mercy..." "That is light, the light of supreme enlightenment..."
"I really want to go home..."
"That's not right!" The Qinglong Emperor suddenly realized, and his soul immediately severed the vague connection.
"Little bastard, what is he doing again!" "He is transforming the origin of old age!" Emperor Qinglong stood up with a look of surprise on his face.
It's not that I feel sorry for the origin, he is my grandson anyway, and he has no intention of coming back after he was sent away. The question is, how did he survive a mere nine thousand miles away?
Moreover, this pure Buddhist charm has a bit of the flavor of ancient Buddhism! Didn’t he cultivate in the world of mortals? How did he get there?
Emperor Qinglong carefully recalled the feeling just now, and suddenly remembered the skill shown by the golden Tathagata in the distant past when he deceived him into becoming a Buddhist protector.
"Three Body Techniques!" Emperor Qinglong took a breath of air.
This three-body method can be learned by all Buddhist disciples, but they need to start practicing immediately. When they reach the Bodhisattva state, all the accumulation will be released in an instant, and only those with outstanding talents can understand the mysteries and practice.
But if you want to obtain it directly, there is only one way. The Tathagata teaches! The Tathagata can only cast it once in his life.
Being able to receive teachings from the Tathagata is equivalent to being a disciple of the Tathagata, that is to say, a future Tathagata! This kid, went to the netherworld and obtained ancient Buddhism?
How long has it been!
Now that the situation in the underworld has changed drastically, the two realms are likely to be reunited. By then, this ancient Buddhist sect may be able to return to the human world!
Thinking of this, Emperor Qinglong suddenly smiled. Hum hum. Old Tathagata, you never expected it.
The next Tathagata is the old grandson! No, it’s the grandson!
Thinking of this, Emperor Qinglong sat down again, and for some reason, his mood suddenly became happy.
When that boy comes to Wutong Forest - little Tathagata, call me grandpa! Hahahaha, I feel happy just thinking about it!
The sun rises and the moon sets. In the blink of an eye, three days pass.
Chen Luo let out a long breath and opened his eyes. The golden Buddha light flickered in his eyes, but it quickly dissipated.
"It's finished."
Chen Luo looked at the wooden seeds on the table. With a thought, a shadow appeared on the wooden seeds, which looked a bit like a monkey. The shadow bowed to Chen Luo and then fell into the seeds again. .
"This feeling is a bit weird." Chen Luo sensed it. Although it was indeed the same as what Ksitigarbha said, it had no effect on the deity, but at this time Chen Luo felt as if there was an extra hand on his body. The influence of the hand It cannot reach the brain, but the touch on the hands can be fed back in time.
"You still need to get used to it." Chen Luo returned to the desk. After the incarnation was refined, all that was left was to refine the Sambhogakaya. Chen Luo spread out the paper and picked up the pen.
For Chen Luo, when he was writing "The Biography of Jigong", a phantom of a descending dragon appeared, bringing about the illusory avenue of Buddhism. Therefore, Chen Luo was still full of expectations for the book spirit of "The Biography of Jigong".
If nothing unexpected happens, this book spirit will be his choice for Sambhogakaya.
I had already finished most of it before going to the nether world, and now I just need to finish the rest. Chen Luo took a deep breath and started to write.
"Ji Gong Biography" is only a six-thousand-mile book at the level of Hualin, so it does not require the power of chaos to be written, and Chen Luo's movements are also much faster.
In just one night, Chen Luo wrote it to the end——
Chapter 240: Lei Chen was ordered to rescue Liangshan, and his merits for the Lord were fulfilled and he returned to Jingci.
"Everything is done, from now on Jigong is still traveling around the world, giving medicine everywhere and helping the poor..." "The complete biography of Jigong is over." "The story of Jigong is still going on..." Chen Luo wrote the last stroke. The whole manuscript suddenly shone like a golden light.
At the same time, in the far west, thunder roared in the sky, and there was a shadow of a golden avenue across the sky, but the golden avenue was shaking endlessly, and golden light kept turning into black, falling from the shadow of the avenue.
Throughout the Western Region, countless pseudo-Buddhist disciples vomited blood and looked up at the sky in fear. They sensed that some power had been sucked away from the golden avenue.
"Fight for the Dao!" "Someone is fighting for the Dao!" "Quickly, quickly call back the power of the Dao that fell into the netherworld!"
A sound of thunder sounded from the Tongtian Pagoda, but then, there was an even louder sound that overwhelmed the sound.
"The power of the Great Dao has entered the sea of blood and cannot be recalled, otherwise the sea of blood will surely bite back!" "The Netherworld is the most important thing, the human world can still persist!" "Fight for the Netherworld first!"
"Those who are shaken in their hearts, kill!" "Those who slander the Buddha, kill!" "Those who yearn for the East, kill!"
"Kill those who deceive people's minds!"
"Those who practice the new Buddha in the mortal world will be reincarnated, cooked and fried in fire, and will never be reincarnated for eternity!" For a time, the entire Western Region was filled with murderous intent! "Hmm? The power of heaven?"
In Fangcun Mountain, Chen Luo looked at the manuscript with golden light, and felt that a force appeared out of thin air and poured into the manuscript.
"This is..." Chen Luo rolled his eyes, "Buddhism in the Western Regions?" I don't know, I picked up this power of heaven in Dayeling.
believe it or not.
At this moment, countless elegant texts on the manuscript gathered into a golden lotus bud, and then, the sound of scriptures sounded out of thin air.
With the last sound of the chime, all the chanting of scriptures stopped abruptly, and the golden lotus began to bloom slowly. At this time, a familiar tune sounded in Chen Luo's heart. "The shoes are torn, the hat is torn, the cassock is torn... …"
"You laugh at me, he laughs at me, a fan breaks it..." "Namo Amitabha... Namo Amitabha..." In the song, the golden lotus blooms completely.
See the Buddha when the flowers bloom!
I saw a thin monk wearing a torn cassock, a torn hat, and a torn cattail leaf fan in his hand, lying on the golden lotus, gnawing on a chicken leg. He suddenly looked at Chen Luo, stood up with a smile, and clasped his hands together. He was smiling, but his eyes were sincere.
"Little Shuling, Daoji Monk, pay homage to the Tathagata!"
