Great Swordsman

Do unto others, do not impose on others.

Just like a strong mother who gave her two paths, how could Qin Mengyao force Ling Shishi to a dead end?
Then isn't she even inferior to her mother?
Qin Mengyao watched Ling Shishi leave lightly, deep down in her heart, but unexpectedly there was not much sadness.

She knew that her marriage with Emperor Ji Xuan was not love at all.

Maybe in this way, he can also be freed.

……

At noon, the scorching sun was like a fire, and the scorching sun poured in front of the empty mountain gate of Baima Temple, distorting the air in front of the mountain gate, as if covered with a hazy gauze.

Since the closure of the mountain, the gates of the White Horse Temple have been deserted. Even if there are believers, they are blocked by the closed gate.

At this time, in the steaming air, there was a thin figure in a white robe strolling over. It was Li Mu who came from the starry night in the South China Sea.

Because he didn't know the situation in the imperial capital, Li Mu didn't act rashly, but first came to the White Horse Temple to check in.

Not long after, Li Mu came to the closed mountain gate.

"Every big event must close the mountain. It's really a dog like always." Li Mu complained. Fortunately, he has hands and feet, so he can climb over the wall by himself.

Going around the mountain gate, Li Mu jumped up, but he didn't expect a golden glaze to suddenly appear in the air and forcefully block him back.

Mountain guard?

Li Mu was not surprised either, the White Horse Temple was the number one temple in Dagan after all, how could there be no such thing?

However, a mere mountain guard array can't stop him.

Li Mu rotated the 'Butterfly Transformation', and the whole body was instantly filled with hazy water mist like a cloud of smoke. He stepped into the air and walked into the White Horse Temple step by step. The golden glazed formation appeared again, and Li Mu ignored it and walked in directly.

hum...

At this moment, the hazy mist around Li Mu's body suddenly twisted violently, as if water had been poured into a frying pan, making a sizzling sound.

After a while, the mist around Li Mu's body blended perfectly with the golden colored glaze, and he walked into the White Horse Temple smoothly regardless of each other.

Along the path in the mountain, Li Mu climbed up the stairs, and after walking a short distance, he saw dozens of white-clothed monks trotting menacingly at the end of the mountain path in front of them, holding ring sticks.

"He Fangxiao is young! How dare you trespass on the White Horse Temple!" The head monk looked solemn and his voice was like thunder.

"I'm Li Mu, please see Master Huineng, the abbot." Li Mu said softly, but his voice rippled like ripples, shaking the dozens of monks dizzy.

Li Mu!

Ah!
It's Poetry Sword Immortal!

After recovering, the monks hurriedly put away their sticks, folded their hands together, and trotted down to meet them.

The headed monk was all smiles, and said in a calm voice: "Amitabha, benefactor, the abbot has been waiting for a long time, please come here."

"Master Huineng knows I'm coming?" Li Mu asked with a smile.

"It's strange that the benefactor doesn't come after such a big event happened in the imperial capital." The monk smiled and dispersed the rest of the monks, and led the way for Li Mu himself.

On the way, Li Mu asked about the situation in the imperial capital, but the monk didn't know much about it. After all, the White Horse Temple had been closed for many days and was cut off from the outside world.

Li Mu didn't force himself, and casually asked about Zhizhu's situation.

After parting in the Western Regions that day, Li Mu was still a little worried about Zhizhu. After all, the Buddhist kingdoms in the Western Regions are bound to obtain the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vows Sutra".

"Thank you benefactor for your concern, Junior Brother Zhi Zhu has returned to the temple safely." The monk said.

Soon, the two came to the Zen meditation room.

After the monk reported, he took his leave and left.

"Benefactor, please come in." Huineng opened the wooden door of the quiet room from the air.

Li Mu looked, and saw a haggard old monk sitting on the futon in the deepest part of the quiet room, his eyes slightly closed, and the wide monk robe made the old monk even more haggard.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Li Mu was shocked, and quickly stepped forward.

It hasn't been long since we last met, why are you so old.

Li Mu sensed carefully and discovered that Huineng has the meaning of the five declines of heaven and man!
He couldn't believe it, you know, Huineng condensed the relics, and at least he was also a powerful monk in the 72nd realm of Earth Sha.

"Amitabha." Huineng clasped his hands together, raised his eyelids, and said with a smile, "All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew or electricity, and should be viewed in this way."

Can't you speak human words... Li Mu sat down impatiently, recalling the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vows Sutra", and hurriedly asked: "But the Buddhist kingdom in the Western Regions made things difficult for Master?"

"It has nothing to do with the Western Regions." Hui Neng shook his head, as if he didn't want to say anything.

But under Li Mu's repeated questioning, he had no choice but to reveal the truth: "It was the poor monk who was not strong in his Buddha's heart, so the relic was broken. It was the poor monk who tasted the bitter fruit himself, and he was no different from others."

The relic was broken?
Li Mu's face changed slightly.

Huineng lowered his head.

That day, Chen Yuan accused Huineng of fearing the imperial power, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, trembling the Buddha's heart that Huineng said, and reluctantly handed over the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra".

Since then, Huineng practiced in closed doors in an attempt to stabilize the Buddha's heart, but once the Buddha's heart was shaken, it would be like a mirror with flaws, and it was difficult to heal.

Hui Neng could barely hold on, but he didn't expect that some time ago, His Majesty suddenly went crazy, and then the imperial concubine Peacock suddenly came to visit and asked him for the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vow Sutra".

Huineng thought that giving one is giving, and giving two is also giving. Besides, now that the government is in turmoil, one thing more is worse than one thing less, so he handed over the scriptures cleanly.

Unexpectedly, after the peacock got the scriptures, he smiled and said: "It is said that the abbot's brother asked for the scriptures several times, but the master sternly refused, but the first time I asked for it, the master gave it so happily. Could it be that Abbot Huineng Are you really a person who bullies the weak and fears the hard?"

This time, Huineng's defense was completely broken, and his relic was split in a short time.

Of course, there is no need to elaborate on these with Li Mu.

Hui Neng smiled and changed the subject: "The benefactor is here because of His Majesty's madness?"

Whether that guy is crazy or stupid has nothing to do with me... Li Mu replied: "The queen summoned me, master, why don't you take some medicine first?"

Li Mu took out Diliujiang, Longyu, and the Lingzhu made from the baby's tears, and wanted to see if he could save Huineng.

Unexpectedly, Hui Neng shook his head: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, but reincarnation, the poor monk has already seen through it. It's just that there are some things that need to be told to the benefactor."

"Master..." Seeing that Huineng was determined not to accept it, Li Mu had no choice but to put away these things and said, "Master, please tell me."

"The poor monk is ashamed, the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vow Sutra"..." Huineng sighed, "The poor monk's elder brother Chenyuan, and the noble concubine Peacock have all obtained this sutra."

Li Mu frowned suddenly.

He has no contact with Chenyuan, but this peacock is the princess of Loulan in the Western Region.

She got the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vow Sutra", which is equivalent to getting the Buddhist kingdom in the Western Regions!
When the Buddhist kingdoms in the Western Regions get this sutra, they will definitely start trying to unify the three Buddhas of the past, present and future into one!

If they are really successful, Li Mu will be under a lot of pressure!
But fortunately, the future Dharma is in the hands of Sanchen, and Sanchen and the Buddhist Kingdom of the Western Regions are great enemies!
Sanchen, you have to withstand the pressure!
Li Mu's heart was broken.

Hui Neng didn't know what Li Mu was thinking, so he continued: "The "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vows Sutra" contains the technique of great ambitions. The Peacock Concubine must be clear about this."

Li Mu's heart moved, and he asked, "Can the great wish technique save the emperor?"

"It is indeed possible, but..." Huineng told Li Mu softly, the peacock only asked him for the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vow Sutra", but did not ask him to perform the great wish technique to save the emperor!

Even deliberately broke the poor monk's relic, so that the poor monk would have no more energy to save the emperor... Hui Neng thought.

Li Mu observed his words and reacted suddenly: "Could it be the peacock who broke the Master's relic?"

"Amitabha." Huineng didn't answer, but changed the subject, saying, "Not long after your majesty became insane, there was news in the palace that the peacock concubine was pregnant, and the inside story must be judged by the benefactor."

"Interesting, she is pregnant at this time."

Reminiscent of her behavior of only asking for scriptures... Li Mu sneered, it has nothing to do with the emperor's madness, even a dog would not believe it!
"Throughout the ages, the struggle for imperial power has been the bloodiest and cruelest. The poor monk is an outsider, and the White Horse Temple is also a pure place. Therefore, the White Horse Temple will remain closed during this period. Please forgive me." Huineng said.

"Master, don't blame yourself. I wouldn't have come to the Imperial Capital if the Queen hadn't summoned me." Li Mu laughed.

After chatting with Huineng for a few more words, Li Mu said goodbye and left.

Leaving the White Horse Temple, Li Mu went straight to Qingyou Mountain, Hanlin Academy.

Nearly two years have passed since the Great Tribute, and this is the first time for Li Mu to set foot on this peak.

Not long after walking, Lin Aimin, the guardian of the mountain, emerged from the dense forest on the left side of the mountain path with an excited face: "Sovereign! It's you! Great! You're finally here!!"

"You are?" After not seeing him for so long, Li Mu didn't recognize him, but he just felt a little familiar.

"Sovereign! This is Lin Aimin of the Imperial Academy! I have been working hard to practice with the goal of joining the Sword Sect, have you forgotten all of this?" Lin Aimin shouted with emotion, as if wanting to evoke the memory deep in Li Mu's mind.

Li Mu... didn't think about it, but he didn't get angry, he waved his hand and said: "Jianzong has become history, don't mention it again. This time I came to Beijing by order of the queen, go and inform the palace."

"As long as the suzerain is here, the sword sect will be there! Suzerain, I... I'll take you up the mountain first." Lin Aimin said.

Among the other courtyards on the mountain, there is a small courtyard that belongs exclusively to Li Mu, which is the privilege of being a deacon of the Imperial Academy.

Entering the small courtyard, Li Mu found that the houses, gazebo tables and stools in the courtyard were spotless, obviously someone cleaned them regularly.

"By the way, suzerain!" Lin Aimin seemed to remember something, and reminded softly: "The commander came back a while ago, and has been on the mountain, clamoring that if the suzerain comes, he will show you a good look. You must be careful!"

leader?

Li Mu was stunned for a moment before he remembered who the leader of the Imperial Academy was.

Isn't it the Queen's cousin, Ying Wei?
Because Ying Wei uttered nonsense in front of the Lingyun Buddha, he said such stupid things as 'the king and the general have a kindness', but was arrested by the Ying family and confined to retreat!

Later, it was also a blessing in disguise, and became the first two monks to be promoted to the Tiangang Realm, which was considered a limelight!
"This guy was released by the Ying family?" Li Mu smiled.

Lin Aimin nodded, reminding Li Mu to be careful again, because Ying Wei is one of the top ten masters in the Dragon and Tiger Rankings!

"Yingwei actually ranks in the top ten?" Li Mu was amazed and asked, "What about me?"

"This..." Lin Aimin said hesitantly: "Sovereign Master, it's strange to say that your name is no longer on the list of dragons and tigers."

"Without me?" Li Mu frowned slightly, what kind of tricks is this Longhushan playing?
When Li Mu was distracted, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard.

The two looked back, and saw Ying Wei, dressed in a flamboyant red robe, with seven dog legs, that is, the Seven Monsters of the Hanlin Academy, walking into the small courtyard with arrogance!
"Li Mu!!" As soon as Ying Wei heard that Li Mu was coming, he immediately brought someone over to find fault, and said fiercely, "Li Mu! You liar, you are not welcome in the Imperial Academy! Get lost!"

When he asked Li Mu for sword control skills, Li Mu begrudgingly said that he could exchange them at an equal price. In the end, this was simply a way of fooling him!
Fortunately, he took the risk to get the baby from the family treasure house, but in the end, he was completely played like a monkey!

Ying Wei is still furious thinking about it now!

If he hadn't been banned by his family, he would have come to seek revenge on Li Mu long ago!

Now, he has been promoted to Tiangang, and he is about to try his blade with Li Mu!
Let me go?
Li Mu squinted at this guy: "Commander Ying ate a few toads today, so loud?"

"Presumptuous! The commander is now in the top ten of the dragon list, how dare you talk to the commander like this!"

"Li Mu! Do you know that the imperial concubine is not here, so the Imperial Academy respects the leader!"

"Li Mu! Relying on the heart of your sword, you run rampant in the earth evil realm and dominate the world, but you don't know that the sky is here, and your era is over!"

"Apologize quickly, lest the commander cut you down with a knife!"

The seven monsters of the Hanlin Academy were sneering and sarcastic, trying to annoy Li Mu.

There were originally eight monsters in the Imperial Academy, but one of them was an undercover agent sent by King Ji Hui of Shu. After his identity was exposed, his cultivation base was abolished and he was thrown back to the Palace of King Shu. Since then, there are only seven monsters left in Qingyou Mountain.

After hearing what the seven monsters said, Ying Wei's chest immediately stood up!
"Li Mu, did you hear that? In Tiangang Realm, your sword heart won't be of much use." Ying Wei sneered, "If you're sensible, hand over your sword skills, otherwise, this commander will teach you today. Tiangang!"

"Commander, Deacon Li is here by order of your mother, you..." Lin Aimin hurriedly stood between the two.

"Get lost!" Ying Wei waved impatiently.

In an instant, the blue gust of wind whizzed away, blowing Lin Aimin into the air abruptly.

Lin Aimin knew she couldn't stop her, so she quickly flew away, wanting to tell the palace what happened here.

Turning back before leaving, he only saw Ying Wei pulling out the golden long knife with a clang, and the sharp sword turned into a rainbow, covering Li Mu like an overwhelming sea.

……

Imperial Palace, Fengming Palace.

autumn lake.

A maid hurriedly came from outside and called Zhu'er who was throwing stones by the autumn lake: "Sister Zhu'er, sister Zhu'er, there is news from Qingyou Mountain!"

"What news?" Zhu'er asked lazily.

Since Mrs. Qingyue came, the empress has been sullen and gloomy, and she has not seen anyone, even the requests from the left and right prime ministers have been rejected.

"Shi, Shi Jianxian is here!" The maid gasped, "The person who sent the message said that Shi Jianxian had a dispute with Commander Ying. Sister Zhu'er, please go over quickly."

"Ah, is Li Mu here?" Zhu'er's eyes lit up, and she was shocked immediately: "No!"

She got up abruptly, and ran out of the palace in a hurry.

"Sister Zhu'er, don't worry, Immortal Shi Jian will be fine!" the maid shouted towards her back.

"I'm worried that something will happen to Commander Ying!" Zhu'er turned around and shouted.

……

Leaving the palace, Zhu'er rode his horse and galloped wildly.

Thanks to the strange turmoil in the imperial capital at this time, there were few pedestrians on the road, and in less than half an hour, she rushed to the foot of Qingyou Mountain.

"Deacon Zhu'er, you've come!" Lin Aimin had been waiting at the foot of the mountain, and when she saw Zhu'er appearing, she went up to lead the horse skillfully.

"Hurry up, it won't be too late!" Zhu'er shrunk the ground to an inch and quickly climbed the mountain.

Lin Aimin followed closely, and said, "Deacon Zhu'er, the commander won't, won't..."

"Don't worry, the commander will be fine!" Zhu'er shouted.

what?
No, I want to ask, what will the commander do to the suzerain?

But before he could reorganize his language, he heard the voice of the suzerain from ahead.

"Come on, tell me, what the hell is called Tiangang! What the **** is called Tiangang! What is the **** called Tiangang!"
