Heart Survey

Chapter 384

Unlike the Hanging Temple, Dongwanggu, and Diaohailou, it is almost a country of its own, and it is also equal to the neighboring countries.

From the very beginning of its establishment, Kurong Yuan has been in the territory of Qi State.

After Emperor Qi Wu returned to his country and subdued the world.Like all sects in Qi State, Kurong Yuan was controlled by Qi court and acted according to government orders.

But the difference is that the Kurong Academy at that time was far more powerful than other sects.

In the territory of Qi, there was even a tendency for the Buddhist family to dominate.

The forces of Kurongyuan are intertwined and spread across all levels.

Jiang Wuliang, the dignified prince of Qi State, was devoted to Buddhism, and besides his belief, it was probably because he relied heavily on the power of Kurong Yuan.

And Emperor Qi hated Jiang Wuliang for being devoted to the Buddha, but was he really just dissatisfied with the Shi family?Isn't it the fear of this power?

The reason why the battle of Qi Xia had settled and Jiang Wuliang's political propositions had been proved wrong, the crown prince's position could be delayed for five years before being abolished by Emperor Qi.

Of course it wasn't because of how merciful and soft-hearted Emperor Qi was, but because Jiang Wuliang really had the power to compete with Emperor Qi for a while!

The strength of the entire Kurong Academy's lineage was actually used by Jiang Wuliang.

The political dispute between the main peace and the main war back then was actually a power struggle behind the scenes.It was even regarded by some as the first time that Prince Jiang Wuliang faced the challenge of imperial power!
And the result...

That is, Jiang Wuliang was abolished, and the Kurongyuan was razed.All the core books were burned, the core monks were exterminated, and all ordinary monks were forcibly returned to secular life.

A generation of Buddhism has disappeared.

Kurong Courtyard is located in the ruins of the West City of Linzi.

Or afraid of something, or feel unknown.In the huge Linzi City, no one had the idea of ​​​​taking this land for so many years, so it was left to be abandoned.

25 years have passed, and how much wind and rain have passed.

There is no curfew in Linzi City, and there are countless places to drink Dadan.

But near the ruins of Kurongyuan, it is quiet after all.

Many people are afraid to come here during the day, let alone at night.

According to folklore, there is often the sound of monks chanting sutras here at night, saying that the resentment of the monks who were killed by a fire in the past was hard to disappear, and their souls turned into ghosts, lingering here.

A practitioner like Jiang Wang would not believe this.

It's not that I don't believe that there are resentful ghosts and haters, but that I don't believe that there are resentful ghosts that can exist under Qi Ting's eyes.

No amount of souls will be scattered.What a hundred years of resentment, a thousand years of hatred, nothing.

When he was alive, he was leveled by Emperor Qi. Even if everyone's soul did not disappear after death, everyone switched to Divine Dao, for Emperor Qi, it was nothing more than another decree.

The Kurongyuan Temple in Linzi is not very wide, not far from the ordinary Buddhist temples.

Its power, to a large extent, was based on the branches that had opened almost all over the state of Qi.Of course, most of those places now don't even exist in ruins.

Jiang Wang, Chongxuansheng, and Shishi came in the night, but when they saw the pale moonlight, they all cheered.

Legend has it that there was a golden Buddha with a height of several dozen feet outside the Kurong Courtyard, standing on the original mountain.Later, the mountain was pulled up by Emperor Qi, and the golden Buddha was also melted and charged into the national treasury.

Not many people even remember the name of the mountain today.

But the abrupt pool of stagnant water outside the courtyard seemed to be the proof that Mount Nafona once existed - it was originally just a deep pit, and the water was accumulated rainwater.Because there is no living source, the waves are calm, and apart from some water insects, there are no living creatures living there.

Black moss and dark water, ugly and tight.

The remaining masonry vaguely outlines the approximate shape of the courtyard gate.

Chong Xuansheng walked over, stepped on a plaque that was partially hidden under the bricks and made a creaking sound.

Looking down, I saw only the word "Ancient", and the other half should have been erased by wind and rain.

"This is my first time here." Chong Xuansheng said suddenly.

"I knew about this place when I was very young and I always wondered what it looks like now. But I never saw it in the future."

Fourteen is used to not talking.

Jiang Wang was also very silent, because he knew that all Chong Xuansheng needed at this time was to talk.

The three of them walked in on broken bricks and tiles, and the Kurong Courtyard, which was burnt clean by a fire, was actually nothing to see.

"I'm not smart now. I've been smart since I was a child. But smart things are very fragile until they have a certain strength."

Chong Xuansheng said: "Because there are many ways to make you a fool without leaving a trace."

"Jiang Wang, fourteen." He said, "I feel very lonely."

The descendants of the dignified Chongxuan family learned to hide clumsiness at a very young age.This kind of sensitivity, vulnerability and caution is not something you are born with.

If the word "sensible" is judged by the standards of most adults, generally speaking, the more "sensible" children, the less happy childhood.

And almost all the misfortunes of Chongxuansheng's childhood came from the man named Chongxuan Futu.

He never dared to come to Kurongyuan.

After he came, even with two friends around, he still felt lonely.

Fourteen silently took a step towards him. The armor on his body was unremarkable, but he felt very reliable.

Jiang Wang looked up at the moon, which was a bright but distant light source.

Loneliness - who isn't?

When he came to the position of the main hall of Kurongyuan, Chongxuansheng stopped.

"I've been thinking about why he made such stupid decisions so many times in the first place, and let down his relatives, friends, subordinates... let down so many people who trusted him, and even affected his family."

The "he" in his mouth who was unwilling to mention only the "he" he was willing to refer to was naturally the Chong Xuan Fu Tu.

The fat man looked around, the night did not affect his vision, but the ruins all over his eyes did not seem to hide any clues - even if there were, they should have been destroyed in the fire that year.Not to mention the wind and rain of the past 25 years.

Chong Xuansheng asked, "Will there be an answer here?"

He, who had recently gained a certain advantage in the competition for the homeowner, showed a rare daze at this moment.

25 years... or even longer, how to find the answer?
The two people who became friends here in those days, now one has lost their minds, and the other is imprisoned in the Qingshi Palace, and has not seen the sun for a long time.Even the Kurongyuan itself, except for the devastation, has nothing left.

To find the answer, it seems that the only way is to ask the person in the Qingshi Palace.But the Qingshi Palace is inaccessible, so...

Jiang Wang only reacted at this time.Chongxuansheng asked Xu Fang to go to the Qingshi Palace to plead guilty. In addition to overthrowing the Treasures Chamber of Commerce and hitting Jiang Wuliang, he also meant to force Jiang Wuliang out of the Qingshi Palace.

But Jiang Wuliang kept silent from beginning to end.

This waste prince seems to have been completely heartbroken...

"Do you have an answer?" Jiang Wang asked.

Chong Xuansheng was about to say something.

"Wait." Jiang Wang interrupted, his ears trembled: "Did you hear anything?"

Chongxuansheng focused for a while. He knew that Jiang Wang was not someone who would joke around at such a time, and his face became serious: "I didn't hear it."

Shi Shi also shook his head slowly, and even reached out and took off the black heavy sword he was carrying.

Jiang Wang was sure that he did hear something just now, but the voice was vague and could not be heard clearly.

Not hallucinations.

At his current cultivation level, the control over his body is specific and subtle, and there is no possibility of mishearing or hallucinations.

Why can only he hear?
What is that sound?
Jiang Wang stood still with his sword pressed, calmed his mind, and gave his hearing to this silent night.

Then he heard, the voice gradually became clearer--

"Namo Amitabha!"
