Chapter 513: High profile
In the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, I don’t know why it was, but the snow fell this year was particularly heavy. Outside the imperial capital, although the road was based on bluestone, the heavy snow fell and it was still muddy and difficult to walk.
"Dingling dingling dingling dingling ~"
The pleasant ringing sounds of the bluestone road echoed, attracting everyone on the way to look back and watch. Then they saw a monk walking, wearing a white robe and a cassock in his hand, holding a nine-ring tin staff, and snow was paving the road around him, and muddy under his feet turned into ice.
The white robe dances lightly without dust.
When you see the visitor, you can't help but feel respect immediately. Just by this look, you can know that the visitor must be a sage and monk.
Passing by, everyone gave in, but saw the monk stepping slowly, but in the blink of an eye, he was already a hundred feet away. Before everyone could react, he could only watch his back, leaving only a vocabulary chant echoing the mountains and forests.
"When you look at the evil in the world with half of your eyes, you look at the Buddhas with half of your eyes. Why do you need to cross the fish swimming in the sea of suffering? I wish to extradite the Tathagata."
The poem "Langlang" echoed with the vast Buddha light, and the sky was filled with snow. The snow disappeared without a trace. Some people saw that the snow had stopped, and even the originally muddy stone road was frozen into ice. It was many times easier to walk than before, so they folded their hands and recited Amitabha silently.
The imperial capital was outside, and the imperial guards were responsible for defending the city, wearing armor, and in the snow and rain, they were like fire, and all the snow could not fall.
After all, it existed in Tianzhou for tens of thousands of years. Although it is no longer glorious, as the largest city in Tianzhou, in addition to its prosperity and population, it is more important to have a foundation and connotation that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.
This is also the reason why many forces want to intervene in the battle for the throne. Once they fight for orthodox, they will be orthodox in Tianzhou in the future. Although they cannot use the emperor to command the princes, they can use the emperor to attack the princes.
Of course, whether it is righteousness or status, you still have to speak with your fists in the end. This also determines that although there are many forces gathered here, they are not messy, and they are all famous by name.
At this moment, the vocal chants echoed in the sky, and everyone heard it from afar. The guard in front of the gate saw the vast Buddha light sweeping across the sky, sweeping the heavy snow covering the sky, and couldn't help but frown tightly.
In particular, Liu Guan, the Imperial Guard, narrowed his eyes and was secretly shocked. Who came here was so popular.
It is said that the imperial guards are at the peak of the cave heaven, and he doesn't need to worry about guarding the gate, but now the situation in the imperial capital is tense, and a silent murderous intent is everywhere.
Many masters gather here. If they were the ordinary guarding the future, they would not even notice that anyone would enter the imperial capital. However, there were few people who came in the past so arrogantly. Who was this person? He heard that the poem was so arrogant and dared to regard everyone as a fish, and compared himself to a Buddha.
Before Liu Guan could figure out the truth, he saw a monk wearing a white robe traveling far away. At first glance, he looked thousands of miles away, but the next moment he had arrived in front of the city.
"stop!"
The surrounding imperial guards immediately stepped forward to block the city gate. There was a restriction above the imperial capital, which was difficult to fly and escape. They could not even pass through the void. If they wanted to enter and exit, they could only walk through the city gate.
At this time, dozens of imperial guards formed a battle formation and aimed at Chen Xu with magic weapons. Liu Guan was stunned and immediately walked down from the city and waved his hand to disperse the imperial guards. He hurriedly came forward, and glanced carefully. He found that Chen Xu's body was as powerful as smoke and his strength was unfathomable.
Such a strong man wanted to take action, not to mention these small imperial guards, he was afraid that thousands of imperial guards would not be able to stand against the opponent's finger. Liu Guan stepped forward and bowed and said to Chen Xu: "Master, I have received the ban. Whenever a warrior enters the imperial capital, please leave his name and register it."
Liu Guan said that he was polite and not humble. He picked up a small notebook in his hand. Chen Xu glanced at it and saw that there were many people recording it. It seemed that since the news that the old emperor was about to fail, there were many people who thought of the emperor's troubled waters.
"Master, don't worry, if it is inconvenient for the master, you just need to report a title. We are also ordered to act without any disrespect for Buddhism."
Seeing Chen Xu silent, Liu Guan was unsure. He knew that Chen Xu's cultivation level was many times higher than him, but who made him eat enough to take on this chore.
If Chen Xu goes in without warning, he will not even have the desire to stop him. At worst, he can just write one by himself. Fortunately, Chen Xu does not mean to make things difficult for others.
He smiled and said, "I am a monk named Wutian." A golden light flashed in his eyes, and Liu Guan's whole body was clearly seen, even the bones under his flesh were clearly visible.
After Chen Xu saw it clearly, Liu Guan's forehead suddenly became sweaty. What is the origin of the monk in front of him? His name is so arrogant and his name is lawless? Such a domineering Dharma name is not a ruthless person, so he will be in trouble.
Just when Liu Guan was secretly worried, Chen Xu took out a jade bottle and handed it to Liu Guan. "I am good at medical treatment. I think you have weak and cold body. I am afraid that you have been injured by cold skills in your early years. This is a Shengyuan Pill. After going back, you will take it for three days and the cold will disappear."
Liu Guan was stunned when he heard this. He was indeed severely injured by someone with cold martial arts in his early years and died a little bit. Fortunately, he survived his life. However, every time he changed his anger every day, he felt uncomfortable all over the years.
Fearing cold and heat, especially in the current weather, he felt that his wounds began to itch after standing outside for a while. If he stayed there, he would probably start to hurt again.
At this time, his condition was seen through by the monk named Wutian in front of him and gave him elixirs, which shocked Liu Guan.
He quickly took the jade bottle and opened it. A white and transparent pill rolled out. The fragrance came out of the pill. He felt that the itching sensation of the wound on his body had subsided a lot. He immediately realized that he had been lucky and nodded repeatedly to thank him.
Chen Xu smiled indifferently and then walked into the city. Seeing Chen Xu's back far away, Liu Guan quickly swallowed the elixir in his hand. Sure enough, when the elixir entered his mouth, he felt a heavy and thick yang harmony in his body, completely dissipating the cold air in his body.
"Monster, it's really a monk, Wutian... Well, I'll report it quickly."
Liu Guan immediately handed over the city defense matter to the deputy general, and then went straight to his superiors' Imperial Army yamen to report on the holy monk Wuzhen.
In fact, Liu Guan didn't need to report at all. The leader of the Imperial Army yamen had already received the news. Just kidding, a Buddhist monk echoed the sky with his mighty Buddha power, sweeping away the heavy snow in the sky. Who wouldn't know such a big noise?
In the current imperial capital, all forces are dormant here, and they are staring at the boss, just to see who makes such a big noise. At this moment, a monk makes such a big noise and walks in, and not even a blind man can notice it.
What Chen Xu wants is this effect, low-key? That's for the weak. When he comes here, he wants to act like a strong person, to disrupt the storm of the imperial capital, and to eat all the small fish and shrimps, and then blast out several big fish.
Of course, this is not enough. Chen Xu walked on the street and headed straight to the slum on the left side of the imperial capital. Although this is the Tianzhou Imperial City, under the feet of the emperor.
But there must be a place of withering in prosperity, just like the darkness under the light, unnoticed, and the slums are chaotic. Compared with the gorgeous stone slab roads outside, the roads here are no longer called roads, but mud pits.
It can only be described as dirty and stinky. Even ordinary people are too lazy to run here, let alone experts like Chen Xu will come to such dirty places.
Compared to the dirty and messy environment around, Chen Xu's white robe and cassock are even more eye-catching. When he steps forward, he sees the soil frozen and extremely solid, so he can walk safely without worrying about mud.
A pair of eyes looked at Chen Xu quietly through the worn doors and windows. At this time, Chen Xu saw a young child wearing a weak single dress, still barefoot, standing in the cold snow and staring at Chen Xu blankly.
Seeing this, Chen Xu stepped forward without caring about the sludge on the child, and directly hugged him in his arms, and smiled and said, "Child, do you have parents."
"Yes, but they are all sick and I'm hungry. I'll come out to ask them for food."
The child was held in Chen Xu's arms and seemed to have completely disappeared, but his childish and innocent eyes were heartbreaking. Chen Xu took out two pills and handed them to the child and said, "Take it for your parents to eat, and their illness will naturally be cured."
The person who secretly saw Chen Xu in the distance was stunned when he saw the pill that Chen Xu took out casually. It was a human-level pill. Although it was not a valuable item, it shouldn't be used to give it to these untouchables just like this, right?
The young child took the pill and ran back to eat it for his parents. Not long after, the child's parents immediately pulled the child out of the house and knelt down to Chen Xu and thanked him.
A human-grade pill is just a drop in the ocean for some people, but it is out of reach for these poor and humble untitled people who do not even have the qualifications of civilians.
Seeing someone getting a life-saving medicine, others also walked out of the room to beg, but this time Chen Xu did not take out the pills, folded his hands together, chanting scriptures, and only heard the echoes of the chants.
The vast Buddha light echoed, washing away the diseases of the poor in front of him. Such pure Buddha power was really shocking. The vast Buddha sound attracted some pedestrians and merchants here. Regardless of whether the place was dirty or smelly, they stopped and listened.
"Who this person is clearly just the realm of Guiyuan, why does he have such pure Buddha power? I have never heard of anyone in Buddhism like this."
"Yes, could it be that the Zen Master of Hellenism?"
Everyone stopped from afar and watched, and saw layers of golden lotus growing under Chen Xu's feet. The golden lotus was urged to take root here by the Buddha's power, and it immediately turned into a deep well and sprayed out clear spring water.
When the cool spring water poured out, Chen Xu stopped chanting the scriptures and said to the poor people around him: "The disease comes from the mouth. Don't drink the unclean turbid water in the future. This well is the meager power of the monk."
