Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

The King of Rejection gave a wry smile:

"This king also advised me in the same way, but the old sword master is very stubborn."

"He said that in order to help future generations open up a path of sword cultivation that goes directly to the fifth rank, he must personally experience the strength of the rest of the fifth rank, otherwise he may go astray!"

"to this end……"

"He will die!"

"..."

Jiang Qingyu sighed for a while.

To open up a path of sword cultivation straight to the fifth level for future generations, the old sword master has such a heart, no less than a generation of sages!

"After I enter Beijing, what should I do to help him?"

"You don't have to do anything."

Rejecting the North King's exhortation:

"After entering Beijing, first go to see your mother and eldest brother, then follow the rules, go up to the court, meet Jing Hong and Prince Jing Yuan, and then go to visit a few court officials who are friends with this king... ..."

"You don't need to expose your master-student relationship with Yu Yi!"

"For the comparison with Fan Yu, you can find another reason. For example, Jing Hong wants to marry your eldest maid Lichun to Fan Yu, which is a good excuse."

Hearing the word "Lichun", Jiang Qingyu couldn't help showing tenderness on his face.

That was the woman who had lived with him for 12 years in Ziyanyuan!

I don't know how she is currently in the palace. Is the koi that was brought to the capital still alive?

He sighed lightly, and said puzzledly:

"Since I don't need to do anything, why did the old sword master come to Beijing with me?"

"He can go to Beijing alone to challenge Jing Yang at any time?"

King Rejecting Bei frowned slightly:

"This king is also not clear about this matter."

"But this is the insistence of Sword Master Yu Yi."

"Perhaps, he has the ambition to die, so he wants you, the only apprentice, to watch the ceremony from the sidelines, so that even if he falls, he can pass on all the knowledge he has learned and the understanding of the fifth grade before he dies. "

"Besides, it will be good for you to witness this battle with your own eyes. Once you see the strength of raising a dragon, it will be much easier whether you choose Yu Yi's path of sword cultivation or this king's path of true dragon in the future!"

"..."

Jiang Qingyu was silent for a while.

It seems that King Jubei is also not very optimistic about this battle, and he doesn't even have much confidence in his promotion to the fifth-rank True Dragon Realm.

He pinned the rest of his hopes on himself.

"Father..."

Jiang Qingyu thought about it, and still expressed some personal opinions:

"You also saw it today. In fact, I just entered the Star Reaching Realm not long ago, but I suppressed Du Heng who was at the peak in the middle of the Star Reaching Realm in terms of strength. This is not because my moves are too subtle, but..."

"I borrowed the power of the incense wish!"

"Perhaps, to advance to the fifth rank, you also need to collect enough incense wish power!"

Unexpectedly, King Rejecting Bei shook his head:

"Every path to the fifth rank is different."

"A craftsman in the realm of unity draws divine fire into his body, a Confucian scholar in the realm of saints inspires righteousness, and the founding emperor of the Yue Kingdom in the realm of Tianzi breaks through the realm with the luck of a country..."

"Only in the Buddha's realm of Buddhism can the golden body of the Bodhisattva be condensed with the power of incense and fire vows!"

"The way of this king and Yu Yi is the same as Jing Yang's raising a dragon. The power of incense and fire can only add to the cake, but it is not the key point!"

"but……"

He changed the subject:

"If you are in urgent need of incense and wish power, this king has a suggestion."

Jiang Qingyu hurriedly asked:

"Please enlighten my father."

The battle with Du Heng consumed [-]% of the incense power he had accumulated during this period of time.

In other words, if he fights Du Heng again right now, he will probably lose!

But as long as he has inexhaustible incense and vows, he is sure that he will not be afraid of anyone under the fifth rank!

even……

When Old Sword Master Yu challenges Jing Yang, give him a helping hand!

But based on his current status and prestige, the daily offerings of incense are extremely limited, and even adding the part of Beidi incense that he will receive from Master Liu Jie in the future, it is far from satisfying his appetite!

Therefore, we must find another way to collect!

"Today, incense in the world is roughly divided into three parts, Confucianism, Buddhism, and the royal family each lead one."

The King of Rejecting the North spoke eloquently:

"The incense of the royal family was acquired by Jing Hong and Jing Yang, and outsiders cannot take it away."

"The incense of Confucianism is monopolized by Mr. Xun Yong of the Jixia Academy. The Academy is located in the capital and is protected by the imperial power. Outsiders cannot take it away."

"So, we can only start from Buddhism!"

"Buddhist incense is mainly occupied by the two temples in the north and the south. Although the Sun Watching in Beishan Temple is only at the peak of the Sunshine Realm, with the blessing of endless incense, its strength is enough to reach the stars!"

"As for Nanshan Temple..."

Jiang Qingyu knew that in a few years, Abbot Shanxuan of Nanshan Temple would pass away.

But he didn't want to take advantage of others' danger, let alone avenge his kindness.

"Nanshan Temple has a good relationship with us. My mother often went to burn incense and pray. Master Liujie helped me a lot in subduing Beidi. Isn't it inhumane to snatch their incense?"

Unexpectedly, the King of Rejection said:

"What is snatching?"

"No, on the contrary, this king is helping them!"

"Abbot Shanxuan didn't have a few years to live, and now he insists on opening an altar to teach Buddhism, so there is not much life left."

"Once he passed away, the Six Precepts is only the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it will not be able to suppress the viewing of the sun at Beishan Temple, nor can it change the decline of Nanshan Temple!"

"Additionally, Liujie preaches in Beidili Temple and sits in Xiaonanshan Temple, so he probably won't return to the Central Plains for a few years."

"So, Nanshan Temple is still facing the problem of no successor!"

Having said that, King Jubei paused for a moment.

The next moment, he looked at Jiang Qingyu with a playful look on his face:

"Qingyu, do you want to be the next abbot of Nanshan Temple?"

Chapter 2 Abbot Shanxuan’s teaching on Buddhism has lasted for seven days and six nights

To be the next abbot of Nanshan Temple?

Jiang Qingyu was stunned.

To be a monk?

How boring!

It is true that he has no interest in the affairs of men and women for the time being, but that is only for the purpose of concentrating on cultivation. It does not mean that he is willing to spend the rest of his life by the side of the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng and die alone!

After becoming a Buddha, what about those beautiful maids?You can't shave your head and become a nun together, right?

that……

How can I still think about chanting scriptures and Buddhas?

"Father, how can anyone rush his son to shave or become a monk?"

Jiang Qingyu couldn't understand:

"and……"

"Didn't you still prepare a lot of marriages for me?"

"How do you think it's a one-off?"

King Rejecting Bei gave a hearty smile and explained:

"Qingyu, you've misunderstood what I mean!"

"This king didn't ask you, Jiang Qingyu, to be ordained and become a monk! Both your elder brother and second brother know nothing about men and women. Only you have inherited this king's inheritance in this matter, and you have a group of beauties at a young age!"

"So, right now, my king still expects you to get married and have a grandson to carry on the Jiang family's lineage. Why would you be willing to let you become a monk who can't touch women?"

"..."

Jiang Qingyu looked curious:

"What does the father mean?"

The King of Rejection laughed and said:

"Naturally use a false identity!"

"You don't have to become a monk as the prince's son, but you can fabricate another identity to join Nanshan Temple, or even..."

"You can directly claim to be a hidden Buddha in Nanshan Temple, and then succeed Shanxuan as the next abbot logically, collecting incense and vows from all living beings!"

"After becoming the abbot, you don't have to show your face all the time, you only need to show up a few times occasionally, and then create some visions of Buddha's light and Sanskrit sounds, and you can confuse all beings!"

"With your strength in the Star Picking Realm, it shouldn't be difficult to hide the truth and not make people suspicious, right?"

Jiang Qingyu was stunned.

It turned out that this was the idea of ​​rejecting the King of the North!

"As for my appearance, as long as I'm not in the Star Reaching Realm, I guess I'm not qualified to see through my disguise."

"only……"

"My understanding of Buddhist scriptures is very superficial. I am afraid that I will reveal my secrets in the teaching of Buddhism, and people will see through that I am not a real Buddha!"

Jiang Qingyu was a little worried. To be an abbot is not enough strength, but also to have a deep enough understanding of Buddhism, so that people can be enlightened as soon as they speak!

Obviously, he wasn't the material.

But the King of Rejecting the North advised:

"It's okay, old abbot Shanxuan will teach you all these things."

"Also, at this time, the old abbot is opening an altar to teach Buddhism in Nanshan Temple. You can take this opportunity to listen to the lecture and see if you can understand some Buddhist principles."

When it came to opening the altar to teach the Buddha, King Jubei sighed again, with a complex expression on his face:

"I forgot to tell you that Wan'er and Qingshu are also listening to Shanxuan's lecture on Buddhism in Nanshan Temple right now. If you go, you can just see them from afar."

Mother and elder brother... in Nanshan Temple?

"Really?"

Jiang Qingyu was slightly taken aback, and the next moment she was pleasantly surprised:

"Then I'll go right away!"

He has been separated from his mother and eldest brother for 12 years, and now he finally has the opportunity to meet, so naturally he will not miss it!

After all, he started to walk outside.

But he found that King Jubei was stagnant in place and never moved.

So he wondered:
