Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Liu Dong mingled among a group of Taoist priests and monks, and, guided by a eunuch, went to the haunted places.

The monks chanted sutras over the haunted place, while the Taoist priests performed rituals with peach wood swords.

A flurry of activity.

Liu Dong released her divine sense to observe her surroundings.

He discovered the hidden mechanism in the dark.

Pullers were installed at several corners of the eaves.

No wonder the white figure was so fast, flying past the guards in a flash.

That was a mechanism that involved attaching strings to a mannequin and using pulleys to make it "fly" at a very high speed, making it difficult for people to see clearly that it was a mannequin and causing them to think they had actually encountered a ghost.

The second pool...

There are quite a few chemical agents that can turn water red, and some Taoist priests do have knowledge of chemistry.

However, the red water had already been cleaned up by the eunuchs, so the Taoist priests who entered the palace did not notice anything unusual.

Only Liu Tong, relying on her divine sense to cheat, discovered traces of some elemental residue and understood.

The third place is where someone is coughing.

Liu Dong saw a small hole in the artificial hill, big enough for a small animal to live in.

Liu Dong's keen senses allowed him to smell the aroma of watermelon.

Liu Dong chuckled softly.

I suppose that little hedgehog has already left.

The fourth haunted location...

Well, there are already four haunted places; even the palaces of the imperial concubines are haunted.

Liu Dong identified the person behind the scenes, who was able to manipulate things on a large scale. This person was able to enter and leave the palace and was also involved in the renovation of the palace buildings.

After all, only someone with such a status could add eel blood to the red paint.

The fifth location was the emperor's bedroom, where Liu Dong discovered nicotine residue on the windowpane...

All my doubts have been cleared up; it turns out someone was just playing tricks.

Hedgehogs that have eaten sweets will make a sound like a human cough.

Eel blood can attract some creatures with a very sensitive sense of smell, such as bats.

Nicotine can attract moths.

If you draw a ghost face on glass with nicotine solution, moths will fly onto the glass at night and combine their shapes to form the ghost face.

When the people went to investigate, the moth was startled and flew away, and the ghost face disappeared.

In modern times, this person who pretends to be a shaman would probably be studying science, engineering, or biochemistry.

But Yun Fengyao looks like she studied humanities, so she shouldn't have caused all this, right?
But who knows, maybe she's read about it before?
After all, the methods of pretending to be supernatural mentioned above are mentioned in many novels.

How could a lowly seventh-rank official like her cause trouble in the palace?
Doesn't this mean we have help?
No, perhaps it should be said that she was Situ Ren's assistant.

Situ Ren was the emperor in Princess Qingyang's previous life before her rebirth. He must be feeling resentful that he didn't become emperor in this life because of the butterfly effect.

So, it's quite normal for them to play tricks and try to kill or drive the current emperor crazy in the palace, right?

Liu Dong understood what the ghost story was all about, but he certainly wouldn't tell anyone.

He was just a monk, so he wouldn't get involved in the power struggles of the imperial court, much less meddle in other people's business.

Didn't he recognize Yun Fengyao as a woman, but didn't expose her?
It's not because we're both time travelers.

The main reason is that Yun Fengyao did not provoke him.

Moreover, he wanted to see what Yun Fengyao was up to.

The female imperial consort took the imperial examination to clear her fiancé's name; Yun Fengyao couldn't have done it just for fun, could he?
Moreover, Yun Fengyao is an orphan, without parents, so her identity seems questionable. By the way, did Situ Ren realize that Yun Fengyao is a woman?

I should remind Liu Sui to leave the capital for a while.

A storm is coming!
Liu Tong didn't pass the message on to Liu Sui; he ran into trouble first.

The emperor's lack of martial virtue might stem from a guilty conscience, compounded by real-world "ghosts," leading to his madness and reckless actions.

The emperor kept monks and Taoist priests in the palace to exorcise ghosts.

But the people behind the scenes didn't stop; "ghosts" still lurked in the palace.

This time, they used a different method of haunting.

The emperor moved to a different palace, but he still couldn't escape the "ghosts" coming to his door.

The emperor was furious, believing that all the monks and Taoist priests were a useless bunch, and ordered them all to be killed and replaced with a new batch.

Liu Dong had no choice but to step forward.

He couldn't just stand by and watch these innocent monks and Taoist priests die.

Liu Dong sealed all the guards' pressure points, clearing a path for the monks and Taoists, and escorted them out of the palace.

Once all the monks and Taoists had run away, Liu Dong used his lightness skill to leap over the palace wall and leave.

This scene greatly shocked the people in the palace.

After all, acupressure and light-body skills are not products of this world.

All the people saw was that when Liu Tong moved her finger, the guards were unable to move.

He can also fly in mid-air.

What else could this be but magic?
Is this Master Liaokong a true Buddha?
When the news spread, even more people went to Yunshan Temple to offer incense.

Although Master Liaokong may not have returned to Yunshan Temple, his master, fellow disciples, and nephews are still there. They are related to Master Liaokong, so do they also have abilities?

All the guest rooms at Yunshan Temple were full, and many people had to camp outside the temple.

The noise was so loud that it disturbed Master Kongwen, who was in seclusion.

Master Kongwen, who knew what had happened, was speechless.

In order to appease the public, Master Kongwen decided to give a public sermon.

Master Kongwen has already made considerable progress in practicing the Buddhist cultivation methods given to him by Liu Dong.

He himself is highly proficient in Buddhist teachings, and his practice of Buddhist cultivation methods is twice as effective with half the effort. Currently, his cultivation level is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage of a cultivator.

On the day Master Kongwen gave his sermon, almost all the dignitaries and commoners of the capital came. Not only the temple, but also the area outside the temple was packed with people, stretching from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain.

Master Kongwen spoke, and everyone, whether in the temple or at the foot of the mountain, heard his voice.

Everyone: Amazing! Master Kongwen is indeed a true Buddha!
As Master Kongwen recited the scriptures, his internal energy began to operate automatically, and his mind entered a state of profound mystery.

Then everyone saw a golden swastika appear above Master Kongwen's head.

The swastika grew larger and larger. At first, it was only the size of a palm, then it became the size of a person, and then it became the size of the entire Yunshan Temple, covering the sky above the temple.

The golden swastika is visible even to people at the foot of the mountain.

Everyone became even more certain that Master Kongwen was a true Buddha.

Everyone benefited from Master Kongwen's lecture.

Ordinary people who listened to the sutras felt peaceful and comfortable, and maintained that feeling for the next two weeks, bringing a sense of tranquility to the capital.

Except for the emperor who was too frightened to attend the sermon.

The monks at Yunshan Temple have gained a deeper understanding of Buddhism.

After that, they received Buddhist cultivation techniques from Master Kongwen. (End of Chapter)
