Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 74 Saint!

next day
Sanhua Temple

A group of people came from the Western Regions.

"Arhat."

An old monk with a wrinkled face, a hunched and thin body covered with a loose cassock, looked quite funny.

The tall and majestic Du Nan treated him with respect.

This old monk is one of the only two second-grade Arhats still existing in Buddhism, Du'e.

Du Nan welcomed Du'e into the temple and told him what had happened in the past few days.

"Luohan, this boy Wei An is eighteen years old and has already reached the fourth rank. This is unprecedented, and we must be on guard."

Du'e sat cross-legged on the cushion, without answering, and said thoughtfully, "Just from what you said, I might be able to guess what that person is like."

"Please give me some advice, Arhat." Du Nan put his hands together.

Du'e slowly revealed some secrets.

"The thief has great ambitions."

The buzzing sound in Du Nan's voice became heavier.

"It's difficult."

Du'e chanted the Buddha's name.

He added, "Confucianism has only achieved one supreme figure to date, a saint. This is because Confucianism is affected by bad luck and cannot achieve immortality. This child is so young and so talented, there is indeed some hope."

"However, this boy was expelled from the capital by Emperor Yuan Jing. It seems that this boy has displeased Emperor Yuan Jing. Furthermore, he is without the protection of the Supervisor and the Dean. This is indeed an opportunity."

"That person said he was covering up for our Buddhist sect. Perhaps we can believe that he has the ability to do so."

"They also said it would tarnish Wei An's reputation. They're trying to eliminate the consequences of his deeds being exposed. I'm afraid it's just a back-up plan, not a two-pronged approach."

Du Nan also thought so, so he was moved.

The conditions are very ripe.

In addition, Dafeng broke his promise and let Shenshu's severed arm escape, which made the Buddhist community quite dissatisfied.

There is also a deep hatred between Confucianism and Buddhism!

After weighing the pros and cons several times, Du'e made a decision.

"You must not take action. You have been in charge of Sanhua Temple for many years, but any unusual movement would attract attention. So, let's do this, Jingnian."

Du'e called out softly, and his voice could be heard from far away.

After a while, a young monk entered the meditation room.

"Uncle, uncle."

He put his hands together and bowed to Du'e and Du'nan respectively.

"Jingnian, you are from the lineage of Liuli Bodhisattva. Please go back to the Western Regions and call your uncle Dufan."

The way to overcome difficulties.

The Liuli Bodhisattva possesses the appearance of a traveler, and can travel to the Western Regions in the morning and reach Jingshan in the evening.

"Yes."

The young monk left the meditation room as if he had turned on the accelerator, so fast that he left behind a trail of figures and left Sanhua Temple in the blink of an eye.

"Luohan's arrangement couldn't be more appropriate."

Du Nan put his hands together and said.

Du'e looked towards the capital and turned the Buddhist beads in his hand.

...

'I probably have too much free time, so I started writing a diary.

On the sixth day after leaving Beijing, the third sleepless day, we left Qingzhou and took the land route.

I feel good and am still in full energy every day. The power of Confucianism is really useful!

wrong!

How can I write a diary? I'm not that kind of person!
Destroy it!

'On the eighth day after leaving Beijing, I arrived in Yunzhou. On that bored night, in my sleepless spare time, I wrote my diary again.

Today, I helped Nangong Qianrou interrogate a good woman named Yang Yingying.

At the welcoming banquet, he met Yunzhou Governor Song Changfu and Yunzhou officials of all ranks. Yunzhou was plagued by banditry, but this group of people still set up a lavish banquet. There was laughter and joy throughout the banquet, and they never mentioned the banditry. This shows how corrupt the Dafeng officialdom was!
I also met Li Miaozhen, the heir of the Tianzong clan, who was nicknamed the 'Feiyan Heroine'. The female general was heroic and radiant like a spring flower. She was a good girl, but she always said strange things to me.

Later, Xu Qian'an said those strange words maybe because of him. I can't tell you the specific reason because I need to get my uncle's consent, haha.

How can I write in a diary?!

Destroy it!

'On the tenth day after leaving Beijing, well, I fell ill again.

I visited Mr. Sanxi today, alas, I can’t bear to think about it.

When natural disasters and man-made disasters occur, only the common people suffer!

Mr. Sanxi's school became an orphanage. He not only taught these orphans to read, but also taught them to practice boxing.

Such a great scholar was forced into this state!

This world!
After I came back, I immediately asked Nangong Qianrou to exchange the promised school for silver. I gave fifty taels to Mr. Sanxi first. It’s not that I’m stingy, Mr. Sanxi is only a sixth-rank official. There are too many bandits in Yunzhou!

Finally, there was an expert following me, and I told Nangong Qianrou about it.

According to the rules, destroy it!

'The twelfth day since leaving Beijing, the ninth sleepless day.

Not quite right!
I tried to refresh myself with my Confucian abilities, but I felt a little tired. Something was wrong.

I consulted Nangong Qianrou indirectly, and he told me that Buddhists and Taoists often use meditation instead of sleeping, which can also restore energy.

I discovered a problem today. These officials of all ranks in Yunzhou, including Song Changfu, seem to be a little afraid of me. They always avoid me. They are people with ulterior motives!

Nangong Qianrou asked me to cooperate with Xu Qian'an to solve the case in the future on the grounds of protecting the governor.

He probably doesn't know that Governor Zhang is safer with me now.

After nightfall, he and Xu Qian'an went to the ghost market to capture and interrogate a commander named Liang Youping.

Damn!

The person who colluded with the bandits in Yunzhou was actually Song Changfu!

He also colluded with the Wushen Cult!
No wonder you don’t dare to come close to me!
This is a rebellion!

He's afraid that I'll make him reveal the truth if I say something!

When Governor Zhang and Nangong Qianrou learned about this, the former was furious, while the latter was unusually calm and did not attack immediately. He seemed to be waiting for something, probably another arrangement by his uncle.

So, who is the master of tracking?
As usual, destroy it!

...

next day
Capital, Ministry of Justice

"My lord, my lord, the drunk is awake, the drunk is awake."

The head of the prison hurried over to report to the lord on duty today.

Upon hearing this, the latter immediately sent someone to inform the Minister of Justice, and rushed to the prison himself.

A moment later, the prison
"Wine, wine!"

"I want wine!"

In a remote cell, the middle-aged man's clothes were no longer as neat as they were that day, and were now quite messy.

He looked like a madman, as if he had been bewitched, twisting and turning on the ground, more disgusting than a throwing a tantrum!

The minister on duty did not dare to act on his own.

This was the case the first two times. I gave this person enough wine to drink, and then he got drunk.

It’s strange. This person only drinks alcohol and doesn’t eat anything. He has persisted for so many days. Isn’t he hungry?
"how?"

Sun Min's voice came along with the others.

"grown ups."

The Minister cupped his hands and said, "Just like before, he's clamoring for wine and food."

In the dim light of the prison, Sun Min's face did not look very good.

"Give him a bowl of bad wine." He gritted his teeth and said.

I must get something out of this guy today.

Wei Yuan's group attacked him to the fullest.

The Prime Minister therefore complained about his efficiency.

The jailer at the side immediately went to pour a bowl of wine.

The middle-aged man in the cell seemed to smell something and rushed to the wooden fence, "Wine, wine~"

"Thief!"

The jailer slapped away the middle-aged man's dirty hand, took a step back, and looked at Sun Min and the minister.

"Give it to him."

Sun Min waved his hands in disgust.

The smell of alcohol mixed with other odors on the middle-aged man was disgusting.

"Gurgle, gurgle~"

He took the wine bowl tremblingly, drank half, and spilled the other half.

"boom!"

His wrist softened and the wine bowl shattered to the ground.

"you…"

The jailer was furious.

"Bring some good wine!" the jailer became even angrier.

He doesn't answer any questions, but he can tell the quality of the wine!

"Bring a jar of good wine and tempt him with it. If he says yes, give him a sip. If he says no, don't give him any!"

Sun Min said in a deep voice.

The jailer did as he was told.

But this seduction lasted for two full hours, which made the jailer very tired, thirsty, and irritated!

Sun Min was the most angry.

Staying in this stinky place, being teased by a madman for half a day!
"grown ups."

The Minister led him aside and whispered, "Why don't you make a confession and have him sign it?"

Sun Min glared at him, "Asshole!"

"What are you trying to do? How many people are watching this guy from head to toe? What do you think the people in the Imperial Observatory and the Academy are doing? The words must come from his mouth!"

"My lord! My lord!"

"He answered! He answered!"

The jailer's sudden call made Sun Min's forehead jump, and after hearing the rest of the words, he ran over quickly.

He didn't care about the dirt and stench at this moment, and leaned forward. "What did you say? What did you say?"

"I just asked him how he could prove he was Wei Yuan's cousin, and he said..."

"Wei, Wei Yuan has a scar on his buttocks. It was inflicted by his sixth sister when they were playing together as children. The cut is quite deep."

The middle-aged man said drunkenly.

Sun Min showed a delighted look, "Okay, okay, let's do it this way. You keep asking questions. If you find out anything, I will reward you handsomely!"

The three jailers looked at each other excitedly.

"Yes, my lord!"

...

Yunzhou, Provincial Government Office
"Sir, Song Changfu ran away and found a scapegoat."

Nangong Qianrou walked out with a gloomy expression.

"Ran?"

Zhang Xingying frowned.

Xu Qian'an nodded slightly.

This makes sense logically.

Song Changfu is the one who actually colluded with the bandits and the Wushen Cult!

The officialdom in Yunzhou is so chaotic, Wei An should be asked to investigate one by one as soon as he arrives.

No, magic such as qigong cannot be used on officials of the third rank and above.

This is probably the reason why Governor Zhang and Nangong Jinluo are hindering us.

With Wei An's ability, he can plow through the officialdom of Yunzhou and no one will be able to escape!
Xu Qian'an thought so.

"Go call..."

Zhang Xingying wanted to call other officials from Yunzhou and announce that he would take over the military and political affairs of Yunzhou. But after he said two words, his body went limp.

"not good!"

Nangong Qianrou shouted in panic, stepped forward to catch Zhang Xingying, and then knelt down helplessly.

The other silver and bronze gongs fell to the ground, as limp as Zhang Xingying.

The lights are on and the air is quiet.

Wei An was the only one still standing.

He looked around and broke the eerie silence, "Come out, why hide anymore?"

The people lying on the ground looked around nervously, but were powerless to take any precautions.

"Interesting, so you do have a way to cure the poison?"

On the gable of the roof, a person seemed to walk out from the dark night.

Then, three more people came out from another gable.

Wei An didn't answer but asked, "You guys clearly noticed that I was following you, why did you wait until now?"

The man chuckled.

"Amitabha, Benefactor Wei, they are waiting for me."

After a Buddhist sound, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the dark night, then became brighter, approached at a rapid speed, and dispelled the darkness.

A middle-aged monk clasped his hands together.

There was a flaming halo behind the monk's head. He was extremely ugly, with murderous intent in his eyes. He was extremely ferocious and did not look like a Buddhist at all.

"Ashura Vajra saves the mortal world." Nangong Qianrou said coldly.

Afterwards, he and the other silver and bronze gongs slowly stood up, but Zhang Xingying was the only one who was still lying on the ground.

"you…"

Zhang Xingying was a little dazed for a moment.

How about playing him?
Nangong Qianrou winked.

Several silver gongs surrounded Zhang Xingying, who finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've been looking for you for a long time." Nangong Qianrou looked at the man in black who appeared first, grinned, and a bloody look flashed in her eyes.

"Why is Jinluo so anxious? It doesn't matter whether you are poisoned or not. It's not a trap set against you." The dream witch chuckled.

Wei An's eyes swept over the dream witch and landed on the ugly monk. "Master, I heard that Buddhism and Dafeng have an alliance. Master, it would be better for you to leave now to avoid damaging the relationship."

"There is indeed an alliance, but it is with Dafeng, not you." Dufan Jin Gang said calmly.

Wei An guessed something.

"Master, you went to Dafeng and killed its people. Aren't you afraid that Dafeng will pursue you?" he asked tentatively.

"Why bother talking so much? Who else do you expect to save you?" Meng Wu sneered, and then glanced at the whole audience, "Ants struggle, and they will die sooner or later."

"It's hard to say who will die first." Wei An slowly took something out from his robe sleeve.

The dream witch's aura suddenly changed.

"Witchcraft is forbidden here!"

Meng Wu's energy dissipated and his face changed drastically!

"you are not…"

"Gu magic is forbidden here!"

The three people on the other gable were also stunned.

"You're not a fourth-grade!"

Dufan Jin Gang's expression lost its previous calmness and gradually became solemn.

He also saw clearly what Wei An took out...the Saint's Carving Knife.

"When I was a fourth-rank teacher, the dean once said that anyone below the third rank would die against me."

"Today, I am already at the third level, and I also want to test my limits."

Seeing this, Dufan Vajra dared not be negligent.

The gold color on his shirtless body became even darker, and his muscles also expanded a bit, which was exactly the Vajra magic power of Buddhism!

A faint white light lit up under the feet of Meng Wu and the three Gu Masters.

"Sorcerer? A coward who hides his head and shows his tail!" Wei An sneered.

"Teleportation is prohibited here!"

He drank again.

The spiritual energy in the body is consumed quickly and replenished quickly!
The white light paused, but continued to rise slowly.

Wei An's eyes flashed, and he held up the sage's carving knife with both hands. "Heaven and earth have righteous energy, which is mixed and flowing!"

boom!
The heaven and earth were shaken!
A huge amount of clear light poured out from him, and the Governor's Office was as bright as day!
In the darkness, a huge shining figure slowly emerged behind Wei An.

The figure was over a hundred feet tall, dressed in Confucian robes, with an elegant temperament.

saint!

Even though he couldn't see the facial features clearly, this name popped up in Zhang Xingying's mind!
"Teleportation is prohibited here!"

Wei An spoke again, and the giant behind him also spoke. His voice was like thunder, spreading throughout the world, so magnificent!
"Catch the thief!"

Wei An took advantage of the gap to shout something, and when his gaze returned to Dufan Vajra, the latter had already strengthened his body and rushed towards him.

Shura King Kong was born in the Shura clan and is the most belligerent!
He raised the saint's carving knife, and the man behind him raised his right hand like a giant, and a huge carving knife condensed in his palm.

call!
The sword slashed down, and there was no exaggeration in the sword energy, just like a breeze blowing by, and the space cracked for a moment.

The rosy glow paused for a moment, and then Dufan Vajra split into two halves, and the two halves fell from mid-air.

"Holding the sun and the moon in your hands, picking... the stars..."

A magic circle slowly lit up, and the man's dirty words were choked in his mouth before he could finish them.

Wei An glanced at the somewhat stiff figure and let out a long sigh.

The saint behind him could no longer hold on and slowly dissipated.

It's still a bit reluctant!

"Oh!"

Several silver gongs leaped towards the three Gu Masters.

Nangong Qianrou was like a cannonball, smashing towards the wizard fiercely.
