Great Eunuch of the Ming Dynasty

Stretching out his hand to grab the bamboo slips, the bamboo slips flew into Wang Zhen's palm. He opened the bamboo slips and looked at them for a few moments, and immediately showed a happy expression on his face. Truly a talent!"

"Thank you for the compliment, my lord. Being able to do things for an adult is a blessing that I have cultivated in eighteen lifetimes. This is what I should do." Tong Shiba smiled obsequiously.

"Is there anyone in the Tong clan still practicing this Dragon God Art?" Wang Zhen asked tentatively.

Tong Shiba shook his head very bluntly, and said: "The cultivation of Dragon God Art requires a very strong body, and my Tong family has always practiced magic arts. Although there is some mana, the body is very weak. One that is in line with the cultivation of the Dragon God Art."

"So that's the case, then go down. In a few days, the governor will send Taoist priests who believe in Nine Thousand Years to preach. At that time, you should listen to the truth carefully and strive to contribute enough incense to Nine Thousand Years. Then Nine Thousand Years will bless you better and let you live a better life." Wang Zhen waved his hand and told Tong Shiba to step down.

"Dragon Divine Art! I didn't expect that this pre-Qin period technique would be so powerful. Now that I have an immortal body, I can extend the time of Dragon Divine Art infinitely, and the power of the Primordial Spirit of this governor can be more detailed as a dragon. body, to increase the power of the dragon, tsk tsk tsk, I can't wait any longer, I'd better go out of the Shuiyue Cave and try again, lest the members of the Tong clan think that the dragon god is back." Wang Zhen thought of this, and then In a flash, he appeared outside Shuiyue Cave. Looking at the blue sky, Wang Zhen took a deep breath. It felt so refreshing!

"Dragon Divine Art!!!" Wang Zhen yelled lightly, and the power of the gods and demons in his body began to operate in the way of the dragon gods. The reason why it is called the power of the gods and demons is because of the complicated inner power of the great light book in Wang Zhen's body. In addition, the blood nerve internal force and the power of the immortal body have been perfectly fused together, which is called magic power by Wang Zhen, and the power of the primordial spirit is divine power. This kind of power can be said to be the strongest power in the world at present.

Chapter 492 The Telescope

Chapter 492 The Telescope

When Wang Zhen turned into a dragon, he actually had an evil impulse. If he went to Fusang and threw seven glass balls, would he be summoned, and then someone else would make a wish? This kind of thinking made Wang Zhen himself wonder Some ironic feeling.

Turning into a dragon did not add much combat power to Wang Zhen by performing the dragon magic skill. It just looks fierce. It is a completely useless skill, but it may be used when it is possible, so Wang Zhen studied it for a while. , and then the palm shook, and the bamboo was reduced to a ball of scum.

Wang Zhen's figure flickered, and he appeared at the gate of Yujian Villa. The Xuanwu guards guarding Yujian Villa were stunned and completely taken aback. After all, Wang Zhen suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

"Supervisor, superintendent? The subordinates refer to the superintendent!" the Xuanwu guard knelt down on the ground and said respectfully.

"This brother hastened to get up. My Xuanwu guards are all upright men, how can we just kowtow? Since the governor left, no one has come to Yujian Villa, right?" Wang Zhen asked.

"I would like to report to the governor, during this period of time, everything in Yujian Villa is normal, and there has been no disturbance. Please rest assured, the governor, with my brothers from Xuanwuwei here, nothing will happen." The Xuanwuwei soldier said seriously Said.

Looking at the resolute expressions of the Xuanwu Guards, Wang Zhen felt a warm current in his heart. It was these warriors with ambition and faith that were the reason for the stability of the entire Ming Dynasty. The lovely men will stand up and defend the common people of the Ming Dynasty, so that although the common people may not be able to live a good life, they will also avoid being invaded by foreigners and becoming slaves.

"In that case, the governor can rest assured." Wang Zhen nodded and walked into Yujian Villa.

Although this Yujian Villa has become a leisure place for Tianjia, only the Supreme Zhu Zhanji will come. Those vassal kings who have been honest and honest will not dare to come, and the relatives have nothing to show for it. I dare not come here.

Therefore, Wang Zhen had secretly arranged for members of the Xuanwu Guard Gendarmerie to establish a secret research institute here. The research institute recruited the skilled craftsmen under Dongchang's command to specialize in the study of weird things. It can also prevent technology outflow.

"My subordinates visited the supervisor, but I didn't expect that the supervisor would have time to visit the research institute. It really made my research institute flourish!" The steward of the research institute is a strong man who loves to invent. I like to invent and create, but many of his inventions are not very practical, but this guy has never given up and has always been at the forefront of invention and creation. He entered Wang Zhen's department because he invented a torture tool for Dongchang. Eyes, knowing that there is such a strange person, came up with the idea of ​​establishing this secret research institute, so that Geng Aidi can lead a group of craftsmen who also like to invent and create, gather together to discuss and inspire each other, and then give the imaginary things to do it.

"Guard Geng, hurry up and get up, the governor is here just to see if you have invented something that can satisfy the governor recently, so that the governor may continue to increase the possibility of capital injection, otherwise the governor really doesn't know what to do. Should this research institute be allowed to survive?" Wang Zhen glanced at the entire research institute and said.

"Supervisor, don't cancel the research institute! In the past six months, my subordinates have discussed with these craftsmen from all over the country, and they have inspired a lot of inspiration. Is there anything that hasn't been started yet? Once it is made, it will definitely be a groundbreaking thing, but due to the shortage of manpower and the limitation of the number of experiments, the subordinates and others can only take their time, invent one by one, and then keep experimenting to get the final result Only then can I present it to the governor!" Geng Aidi couldn't help being anxious when he heard the words, and begged.

"That is to say, you haven't invented anything yet?" Wang Zhen raised his eyebrows and said coldly.

When Wang Zhen changed his tone, the divine power on his body involuntarily leaked out. This trace of divine power made the craftsmen in the entire research institute feel a coercion that penetrated the body and directly hit the soul, and any distracting thoughts in their hearts disappeared. No, there is only one impulse to worship.

Looking at the craftsmen kneeling on the ground, Wang Zhen knew that his divine power was not well controlled, and hurriedly put away the coercion on his body, which made Geng Aidi and the others feel better.

"I would like to report to the governor, during this time, I have optimized the glass and cement that the governor said before, so that they can be better sold and used in daily life, especially when building roads and building houses and city walls. The sharp weapon, but the kind of rubber that the governor mentioned before, the subordinates and others have not studied it thoroughly, but the first batch of improved telescopes have been made, and I hope the supervisor can correct one or two, and the subordinates will definitely use it by then Make corrections humbly." After Geng Aidi finished speaking to Wang Zhen, he waved his hand and greeted the back.

An apprentice craftsman came to Wang Zhen holding a box. This box was made of very expensive wood, just to set off the preciousness of the things in the box. It can be seen that Geng Aidi also put a lot of effort into it.

Geng Aidi dearly opened the box and took out a telescope made by a research institute inside.

The shape of this telescope is made according to the blueprint that Wang Zhen gave to Geng Aidi and the others before. The telescope barrel made of black silk pillars has been painted with anti-corrosion paint. The cleanliness of the lens is no less than what I saw in my previous life.

"Master, this is the telescope made by our research institute. Please correct me, Lord. This telescope is amazing. It can actually see things in the distance through a few lenses. Master is really amazing. , To think of such a good thing.” Geng Aidi flattered Wang Zhen carefully, and handed it to Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen took the telescope, put it in front of his eyes, looked at it, and found that the effect was not bad, nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Since your research institute has already made something, let's continue to make it. Send this telescope technology to the artisan battalion belonging to the research institute, so that they can quickly mass-produce it, and it is estimated that the Xuanwu Guard of Bendu will use these things after a while."

"Then the institute doesn't need to be abolished?" Geng Aidi asked cautiously.

"What do you think?" Wang Zhen smiled.

"Thank you, Lord, for your kindness!"

Chapter 493 Come to Shaolin

Chapter 493 Come to Shaolin

Shaolin Temple was founded around the 19th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Emperor Xiaowen Yuanhong built it at the northern foot of Shaoshi Mountain, Songshan Mountain, facing Luoyang, the capital, for the monk Batuo of Tianzhu who came to the court to teach Theravada Buddhism.

In the first year of Yongping, the eminent Indian monks Lenamoti and Bodhiliuzhi successively went to Shaolin Temple to set up a translation field, and set up a translation hall to translate scriptures in the West Tower of Shaolin Temple.Afterwards, Huiguang carried forward the "Four-Part Law" and other master's teachings in Shaolin Temple. After many generations of development, later generations finally formed the Four-Part Law School.

In the third year of Xiaochang Emperor Xiaoming in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Bodhidharma, the No. 20 eighth-generation disciple of Sakyamuni Buddha Gautama Siddhartha, came to Shaolin Temple. Based on the foundation created by Ba Tuo, he gathered followers and taught Zen. Tianping taught the Dharma to Huike for three years, and since then Zen has been spread in Shaolin Temple.

The most important thing is that Bodhidharma has faced the wall for many years, created a new school of martial arts, and improved the world's martial arts, so that more people can reach the level of third-rate masters even if their talents are not very good. Realm, it can be said that it has found a new way out for many people. You must know that only Tianjiao had the qualifications and ability to practice advanced martial arts.

During the peak period of the development of Buddhism in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty adopted the suggestion of returning to the vulgar monk Yuan Song to delete the temple and reduce monks.No matter how powerful the monks in Shaolin Temple are, they can only swallow their breath in the face of bows, crossbows and sharp arrows.

In the second year of Daxiang in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty restored Shaolin Temple and renamed it Zhiyi Temple.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty worshiped Buddhism, changed the Zhiyi Temple into Shaolin Temple, and gave Shaolin Temple [-] hectares of land, plus other rewards, Shaolin Temple became a large temple with [-] hectares of fertile land and huge temple properties.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the thirteen monks of Shaolin Temple were rewarded by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin for their contribution to the Tang Dynasty. .

By the Tang and Song Dynasties, Shaolin Temple had more than 4000 mu of land, 540 mu of temple foundation, more than 2000 towers and halls, and more than [-] monks and disciples.The Zen sect founded by Bodhidharma flourished in the Tang Dynasty and was the largest sect of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty.It is also the number one sect in martial arts, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the leader in the arena.

After the failure of the Qingli New Deal in the third year of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, those who paid attention to the Kongzong began to set up a Buddhist temple in Bianjing.

Around the eighth year of Yuanyou in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zen master Baoen promoted the style of Caodong sect in Shaolin Temple, and finally made Shaolin Temple "change the law into Zen".

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the ancestors ordered the Fuyu monk to be the abbot of Shaolin and to command all the temples in the Songyue area.During the period when monk Fuyu was abbot of Shaolin, he built the bell tower and drum tower, added corridors, verandahs, warehouses and kitchens, and monks gathered here to perform martial arts and worship Buddha.When Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang School, was still called Zhang Junbao, he used to worship under the monk Jueyuan of Shaolin Temple and learned a lot of things in Shaolin Temple.

Not to mention the current martial arts of Shaolin Temple, at least in Shaolin Temple, a thousand-year-old ancient temple, the power of incense has already made Wang Zhen coveted.

Looking at the Daxiong Palace full of incense power, Wang Zhen hesitated.

"Supervisor is here, I have lost my way, please forgive my sin! Amitabha~" the abbot of Shaolin Temple ran over from the meditation room at the back of Shaolin Temple, and said respectfully.

Wang Zhen looked at Abbot Dianru who was running profusely, smiled slightly, and said: "Abbot Dianru doesn't have to be like this. I don't have anything to do when I come to Shaolin Temple. I just passed by the mountain of Shaolin Temple. When I heard the great Zen sound in Shaolin Temple, my heart was very peaceful, so I plan to go up the mountain to worship the Buddha, can Abbot Dianru agree?"

Abbot Dianru breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, just now he heard the Zhike monk in the meditation room say that the governor of Nine Frontiers was guarding the eunuch, and the admiral of Dongchang Wang Zhen came to Shaolin Temple. The Shaolin Temple does not interfere with the affairs of the Jianghu, and only serves as a monk who eats fast and recites Buddhism. Could it be that Wang Zhen is planning to attack the Shaolin Temple?Now after listening to Wang Zhen's words, Abbot Dianru returned to that calm state of mind.

"What is the status of the governor, of course he can go to worship Buddha. It is really an honor for the governor to come to my Shaolin Temple!" Abbot Dianru smiled slightly, and his mouth grinned like a Maitreya Buddha. image.

Looking at Abbot Dianru who was full of fat, Wang Zhen asked subconsciously: "Do you know that the vegetarian dishes in Shaolin Temple are really so delicious? Why is Abbot Dianru so fat?"

Abbot Dianru didn't expect that a person of Wang Zhen's status would ask such a question, he immediately smiled awkwardly, and said: "Actually, the governor has misunderstood, the reason why I am fat is because I don't move around much, In a day when there is almost no activity other than meditation and chanting, another one is that the old man eats more sesame oil."

"It turns out that the sesame oil that the pilgrims contributed to the Buddha was stolen by Abbot Dianru!" Wang Zhen laughed.

"The governor is really good at joking, please come in, the governor!" Abbot Dianru bent down with a smile, stretched out his right hand and waved it towards the Daxiong Palace, and said respectfully.

The purpose of Wang Zhen coming to Shaolin Temple is to absorb the power of these unowned incense. Once the power of incense cannot be absorbed, there will only be two results. One is that the power of incense will naturally dissipate, and the second is to accumulate After reaching a certain level, these incense powers will re-form a new incense god, a brand new Buddha. This kind of thing is firmly forbidden by Wang Zhen, and it is also a kind of contempt for the current Buddha of Xitian Daleiyin Temple No matter whether Wang Zhen is doing it for favors or killing his opponent in the cradle, he has to do it.

When Wang Zhen stepped into the Daxiong Palace, he turned his head and said to Abbot Dianru beside him, "This governor came to offer incense and make a wish. I don't want idlers to eavesdrop. I also ask Abbot Dianru to get rid of all the people around. Can it be done?"
