The heavens start with Buddhist disciples

Chapter 148 Storytelling Yujing Wenxin Tower

Yujing City, the capital of Daqian State, is where the auras of the 99 states in the world gather together.In this Jade City, the most famous ones are the first palace, the second floor and the third palace.

The first palace is the Daqian Palace, which has the opportunity to absorb the energy of the universe and contain the eight wastelands.

The second floor was filled with controversy.Some people say that the first building in Jade Capital must be the Mingyue Building, because Meng Bingyun, the most beautiful woman in the world known as the Mingyue Fairy, often lives here.Therefore, the dignitaries in Yujing and the children of wealthy families highly praise Mingyue Tower.

The other building in Yujing is called Wenxin Building.There are no beauties or extravagances in this Wenxin Tower, only the light of swords and shadows, and the pleasures of the world.Because there is a storyteller here every three days, and the content is often memorable and thought-provoking.Therefore, the common people like to ask about the Xinlou even more than the peddlers are like pawns.

As the saying goes, if the mountain is not high, there will be immortals, and if the water is not deep, there will be dragons.The second floor of Yujing has also become exciting because of the appearance of these two legendary figures.

As for the three palaces, there is nothing surprising. They are nothing more than the Prince's Palace, Wu Wenhou's Palace and Shenwei Palace, which are the most powerful in the world.

Not mentioning the Mingyue Fairy Meng Bingyun, but saying that there is a couplet in front of the door of Wenxin Tower, the first couplet reads: When I am old, I look back with joy.The second line says: Young people love romance for no reason.Horizontal comment: the direction of the heart.

"By the way, Yuzhou Yong'an Dang originally had three clerks. Jingtian, Maomao and He Biping. But 20 years ago, the owner of Yong'an Dang was named Jing." Along with Ji Ran's emotional narration on the stage , a man in yellow robe and a man with a serious expression entered the Wenxin Tower together.

Although there are many people in the lobby on the first floor, it is not crowded or messy.For just one penny here, you can get a seat and a bowl of tea. If the tea is not enough, you can get more for free.

A vendor selling candied haws in the audience asked: "Mr. Ji, is this Yong'an robbed by bad guys? Why did Jingtian change from a young master to a young boy?"

Ji Ran glanced at the hawker and said with a smile: "The reason here starts with a girl, and this girl is the protagonist of the follow-up of our story. So here, I will tell everyone..."

The two people who walked slowly into the private room on the second floor looked at everything in front of them, but they always had the illusion that they were looking at a microcosm of everything in the world of mortals.It seems that the people listening to the book in the lobby on the first floor are not the audience, but the mortal beings.

It was only because the two people in the private room on the second floor were too superior that they had this illusion.The man in yellow robe asked the serious-faced man on the side: "Xuanji, you said this storyteller is just here to tell stories, how can he compete with the Mingyue Tower across the way? Regardless of the drinks and dishes here, they are all ordinary. I really don't understand."

The serious man on the side said: "The owner of this place focuses on being cheap and affordable. Most of the customers he attracts are peddlers and cart drivers. Their lives are already tight, but in order to listen to books, their lives have become even worse. . Therefore, I feel that this building should be closed down to prevent lower-class people from being deceived by the storyteller."

The man in yellow robe said: "Xuanji, why are you so serious? You and I went on patrol incognito. There are no monarchs and ministers here, only brothers. Before I succeeded to the throne, weren't you and my brothers wandering around in the same way?"

The serious man said: "The king is the king, and the minister is the minister. This is the ethical code and cannot be messed with."

The man in yellow robe said: "Forget it, I forgot. Xuanji, you are now a master of Neo-Confucianism, and you are expected to lead the Neo-Confucian school. I also hope that one day, Xuanji, you can lead the scholars in the world. In this way, if you and I, the monarchs and ministers work together, there is no need to worry about the injustice of the world. , why fear the coercion of those thousand-year-old families."

The serious man said: "I will do my best to live up to your majesty's trust!"

These two people were the Qian Emperor Yang Pan who had just ascended the throne, and his confidants, Marquis Wu Wen and Hong Xuanji.The conversation between the two reached Ji Ran's ears verbatim.

"Hong Xuanji, in order to please Meng Bingyun, actually made such underhanded suggestions to Yang Pan. I don't offend you, but you come against me instead. So don't blame me for being troublesome."

Thinking of this, Ji Ran was startled and said loudly: "When Jingtian gets that piece of heaven-given jade pendant, what wonderful story will it lead to? Let's listen to the explanation next time!"

When everyone in the audience heard the sound of Xiangmu, they knew that this wonderful "Legend of Sword and Fairy" could only be heard here.

An old vegetable seller asked: "Mr. Ji, I wonder if you can comment in detail on the martial arts of the characters in "Xiao Li Fei Dao" that you talked about earlier?"

Ji Ran said: "I have already talked about "Xiao Li Fei Dao". I think it is better not to comment on those heroes. Let everyone do it together! Every time I finish a work in the future, I will be here in this building. Add a voting board on the first floor that will list five characters from the work."

"Whether they are right or wrong, and whether they are strong or weak, depends on your choice! The characters on the list of "Little Li Flying Knife" are Old Man Tianji, Shangguan Jinhong, Li Xunhuan, Long Xiaoyun, and Lin Xian'er."

The old man asked again: "Mr. Ji, the first three are all at the top of the weapons spectrum, but Lin Xian'er and Long Xiaoyun are both people with low martial arts skills. Why are they on the list?"

Ji Ran said: "Old sir, you need to know that there is no money in this world that cannot be earned, and there is no person that cannot be killed. Sometimes, if you want to kill someone, you don't need to do it yourself."

"Just like Long Xiaoyun, although he didn't kill Li Xunhuan, but he lived in Li Xunhuan's manor, married Li Xunhuan's favorite, and took over everything from Li Xunhuan, but he has a good name in the world. You said that, don't you? What's more outrageous than killing Li Xunhuan?"

"Another example is Lin Xian'er's relationship with Ah Fei. Ah Fei has enough strength and room for growth. He may not be able to fight with Xiao Li's flying knife in the future. If Ah Fei never wakes up, will he eventually become the sharpest sword in Lin Xian'er's hand? .So, if Lin Xianer wants to kill someone, who can’t she kill?”

Hearing this, Hong Xuanji, who was upstairs, said, "This storyteller, are you exaggerating? Is Lin Xian'er in your words alluding to someone else?"

Ji Ran looked at the private room on the second floor, and still said kindly: "The only ones who cooperate with Lin Xian'er are Long Xiaoyun and others. Maybe some people see their own shadow in Long Xiaoyun. So they also began to look for Lin Xian'er in their hearts." Son, only then will you think who Lin Xianer looks like."

"It's late today, so I'll stop here. Dear guests, see you in three days!"

After finishing speaking, Ji Ran waved her folding fan and walked towards her small courtyard.

After hearing Ji Ran's words, Hong Xuanji's expression suddenly turned gloomy, and the murderous intent in his eyes also flashed away.However, he quickly adjusted and became calm.

Yang Pan asked: "Do you think the Lin Xian'er discussed here looks like the Meng Bingyun Meng Fairy?"

Hong Xuanji said: "Dream Fairy is pure and pure, she will definitely not be like Lin Xian'er, a person who can do anything to others."

In the evening, when Meng Bingyun got the content of Ji Ran's storytelling today, she also gritted her teeth and said: "Damn Ji Ran, it was arranged by me in such a way. I have no grievances or enmity towards you. How can I become a human being?" Husband's slut!"

Xie Pianpian, who was standing next to Meng Bingyun, said: "Saintess, there is no need to worry about it. What he told was just a story. Why should we sit in the same seats?"

While the two were discussing, groups of armored imperial troops, led by Hong Xuanji, arrived at Wenxin Tower.

After the waiter opened the door, Hong Xuanji led his personal guards to directly surround Ji Ran's courtyard.Hong Xuanji said to the court: "The Ministry of Punishment would like to ask Ji Ran, the owner of Xin Tower, to cooperate in the investigation of a murder case on Yujing East Street. I also ask Lord Ji to cooperate."

Ji Ran walked out and looked at Hong Xuanji and said, "Although you are Marquis Wu Wen, you cannot represent the Ministry of Punishment, and you do not have a document from the Ministry of Punishment. So why should I follow you?"

Hong Xuanji said: "My words are the reason. If Mr. Ji is not willing, then I can only invite Mr. Ji myself. But I have always been rough and rough. If Mr. Ji is hurt in any way, don't blame Hong." certain."

Ji Ran looked at Hong Xuanji and said, "It seems that you do feel like Long Xiaoyun, then who is Li Xunhuan in your heart? Is it Meng Shenji? Or Yang Pan?"

Hong Xuanji shouted angrily: "How dare you call His Majesty by name. If you don't respect Your Majesty, you should be beheaded!"

Ji Ran smiled contemptuously and said: "In today's Daqian, there is no such thing as being punished for words, and your Neo-Confucianism is only yours. There is no need for others to abide by the same principles as you."

At this time, Hong Xuanji also discovered that he was facing a martial arts semi-sage, a master who had already stepped into the martial arts level.Ji Ran didn't even have a trace of fear, and wasn't even affected by her own aura.

Cultivation in the world of "Yangshen" is divided into physical training and spiritual training, which are what people in this world call martial arts and Taoism.In ancient times, practitioners generally believed that the world was a great sea of ​​suffering.A person is in the sea, his body is the boat, and his soul is the person in the boat.

The boat carries people and can travel to the other shore.Therefore, the method of cultivating the physical body, strengthening the ship's hull, and cultivating the soul to make the journey to the other side of the sea of ​​suffering was derived, so that the people in the ship can become familiar with the nature of water, so that they can still cross the sea of ​​suffering even if they abandon the ship's body.

Today, Hong Xuanji is a warrior who focuses on martial arts, that is, physical training.From low level to high level, body training is divided into: "flesh training" martial arts student, "muscle training" martial arts disciple, "skin training" warrior, and "bone training" martial arts master.These four realms are also collectively called the acquired realm, corresponding to the one-star level that Quezhou told Ji Ran.

The subsequent realms are: "Zang training" innate martial master, "Marrow training" grand master, and the semi-saint realm. The so-called semi-saint is that the martial arts state of mind or physical strength has reached the martial arts realm, but the body and soul cannot be integrated.Become one with mind.This third level also corresponds to the two-star level.

Hong Xuanji is currently at this stage. His body has reached the level of Martial Saint, but his martial arts will is still a little behind, so he has been unable to break through to the realm of Martial Saint.

"Exchanging blood" for the Martial Saint is a very important realm in body refining, and it is also the last barrier between immortals and mortals.The more you pass, the difference will be between immortals and mortals. If you cannot go beyond it, you will only be a stronger mortal for the rest of your life.

The symbol of Dacheng at this stage is that the essence is like smoke, condensing the spirit of boxing that is unique to oneself.This realm corresponds to the three-star level.

After reaching the peak of the Martial Saint, one must start a person's extraordinary path.In this world, this realm is called the "Lian Qiao" human immortal.The corresponding one is the four-star level.Ji Ran's physical cultivation now remains at this stage.

Ji Ran's unique skill "Eight Parts of Heavenly Dragon Body" is a powerful technique that can cultivate 360 ​​five acupoints throughout the body.Even in the world of "Yangshen" where cultivation is so prosperous, it is still a rare and unique skill.Moreover, the 360 ​​five orifices opened by Ji Ran echoed the stars in the sky and had some faint shadows of the ancient star path.

Of course, there are also so-called half-step human immortals between martial saints and human immortals. Similar to half-step martial saints, their bodies or martial arts will cannot be coordinated to enter the human immortal level together.

Therefore, at this time, Ji Ran, who was a human immortal, faced Hong Xuanji, a half-step martial arts saint, without any pressure.Moreover, Ji Ran is a physical body and a spiritual practitioner.

When he came to this world, he originally wanted to find the Buddhist holy place in this world, the Great Zen Temple.

As a result, the Great Zen Temple has been destroyed by the current Qian Emperor Yang Pan, Wu Wenhou Hong Xuanji, and Meng Shenji, the leader of the most powerful lineage of Taishang Dao in the Taoist sect.When Ji Ran arrived at Taishi Mountain, apart from the ruins and devastation, not even a complete skeleton could be found.

Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji took away the skeletons of all eminent monks who had achieved success in cultivation and used them as raw materials for refining treasures.

In the end, Ji Ran could only rely on clues from the original work and found a nest of white foxes in the Western Mountains outside Yujing City, as well as the [-] books hidden by the white foxes.

After Ji Ran helped the older white foxes recuperate, he also gained the right to study.Among these books, there is a masterpiece "Martial Classics" that was banned by the Daqian Order.

This martial arts scripture was compiled by the royal family of Daqian who gathered all the martial arts classics in the world. Although there are some inaccuracies and errors in it, for Ji Ran who needs a macroscopic understanding of martial arts in this world, it is as refreshing as the rain after a long drought.

There is another secret hidden in this "Martial Sutra", that is, the "Past Amitabha Sutra", known as one of the three secret scriptures of Dazen Temple, is stored in the cracks of this book.

Ji Ran stayed in Xishan for a year. He could not say that he had read all the [-] books, but at least one tenth.He also read through the "Tao Jing", which was parallel to the "Wu Jing" and was also written by the Daqian royal family.Most importantly, Ji Ran completely memorized and imprinted the "Past Amitabha Sutra".

This "Past Amitabha Sutra" is the foundation of Hong Yi's practice, the son of destiny in this world, and it is also the beginning of his ability to overpower all the geniuses and become a strong man on the other side.Therefore, after Ji Ran imprinted the "Past Amitabha Sutra" in his mind, he did not take away the book.

Ji Ran even left the "Yi Jin Jing", a secret that was not taught in the Shaolin Temple, as the basic exercise for Hong Yi's foundation building in the future, and left it in that special "Martial Classic".

Hong Xuanji saw that Ji Ran didn't have any fear, and felt a little nervous in his heart.His original intention was to use the East Street murder case to frame Ji Ran. It would be best if he could be eliminated.If you can't get rid of him, you can at least fish out the person behind Ji Ran.

Hong Xuanji didn't think that a helpless ordinary person could run such a large industry in Yujing City, so Hong Xuanji concluded that Ji Ran must have the support of a big force behind him.I just don’t know if it’s a noble family or a Taoist holy land.Thinking of Ji Ran's surname, Hong Xuanji and Yang Pan guessed that Ji Ran was probably from the Ji family in Qingzhou.

This is also the reason why Emperor Qian Yang Pan acquiesced to Hong Xuanji's actions. He also wanted to see who the person behind Ji Ran was.

If Emperor Qian Yang Pan gave the order directly, he would undoubtedly be at odds with the forces behind Ji Ran, but with Hong Xuanji coming forward, there would be a chance for further relaxation in the future.Daqian has been a country for 40 years now, but it has had three emperors. The current emperor Yang Pan is already the fourth emperor of Daqian.

It can be seen from this that Daqian does not have an advantage in high-end combat power.Therefore, Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji, the monarchs and ministers, have been pursuing the strategy of forbearance and restraint after receiving the inheritance of the Tao of Creation, one of the three main branches of the Taoist sect.

But now Hong Xuanji is about to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation, and Yang Pan seems to have survived the thunder tribulation.So the two of them, the monarch and his ministers, planned to start purging the world and realize their political ambitions.At the same time, the effective implementation of politics will also make their souls extremely satisfied, thereby promoting their spiritual progress.

Ji Ran's attitude towards Hong Xuanji during the day made Yang Pan feel the undercurrent of Yujing City.A mere restaurant storyteller dared to openly mock the current Marquis Wu Wen. In order to establish the authority of the court, there was a scene where Hong Xuanji broke into Wenxin Tower at night.

Just as the two were in a stalemate, Meng Bingyun, the fairy of Mingyue Tower located across the street from Wenxin Tower, appeared on the scene.

Meng Bingyun first glared at Ji Ran, then bowed deeply to Hong Xuanji and said, "Meng Bingyun, a civilian girl, has met Marquis Wu Wen."

When Hong Xuanji saw Meng Bingyun, he also put away his power. He looked at Meng Bingyun with seemingly plain but deeply fiery eyes and said, "I am assisting the Criminal Department in handling the case and came to invite Mr. Ji to cooperate. However, Mr. Ji did not do anything. He has no intention of cooperating, and even thinks that I am causing trouble for nothing. I wonder what Fairy Bingyun thinks I should do?"

Meng Bingyun smiled slightly and said: "Why don't you let Master Ji apologize to Mr. Hou, and let him drink wine to apologize another day? What do you think of Mr. Hou?"

After hearing this, Hong Xuanji also felt that this method was feasible, and Ji Ran was convinced.Secondly, it can damage Ji Ran's reputation.You must know that the year Ji Ran came to Yujing City, through storytelling, she became known as Jianghu Tianjizi. It can be said that Ji Ran has a strong influence among the people.

Even many ordinary people think that Jianghu is what Ji Ran said.It is precisely because of this that lists such as the Holy Land List, the Martial Arts List, the Taoist List, etc. were even circulated privately among the people.

With Ji Ran endorsing him, Hong Xuanji felt that his status in the world would be able to reach a higher level.In this way, he gained prestige for the sect he came from, the Da Luo sect.

Although he was willing in his heart, Hong Xuanji still pretended to say: "I don't care, but this guy just called your majesty by his first name, which is a crime of great disrespect. Does Fairy Bingyun think that I have no reason to say this?" If it’s a crime, just take this matter lightly!”

Before Meng Bingyun could speak, Ji Ran said: "Hong Xuanji, it seems to me that you have just broken through the half-step Martial Saint level. Do you think you are strong and powerful, and can you dominate the world?"
