Chapter 86: Furious Confrontation!
For a while.
In the entire hall, everyone looked at the young Taoist who stood under the throne and was wearing a blue robe. He was tall, handsome, and made people feel good at just one glance.
After a brief silence.
Then there was a buzz.
In the main hall, the civil and military ministers on both sides immediately started talking to each other in low voices.
Decades ago, Chechi Kingdom suppressed all Taoism and respected Buddhism alone. It started by enshrining the eminent monk Benzhen Master as the national teacher.
There are only temples left in the entire country, but no other Taoist temples or sects.
People from other sects were either driven away, captured, or killed!
Anyway, under the leadership of the national master Benzhen, Buddhism quickly completed the sectarian unification of the entire Chechi Kingdom.
Since then, the Buddhist monks have become more and more powerful, and once made the entire Chechi country fearful like a tiger.
Even the princes and nobles are extremely weak in front of Buddhist monks.
Seeing that Buddhism is causing great trouble to the country.
There are also sober ministers who have written to the king many times, complaining about the harm done by Buddhist monks.
But because at that time His Majesty trusted the National Master and trusted Buddhism.
Therefore, ministers often resign due to illness or die suddenly and unexpectedly shortly after these letters are submitted.
All these things made the ministers of the DPRK clearly aware of the power, ruthlessness and viciousness of the Buddhist monks!
From then on, no minister dared to talk about Buddhism or the affairs of the state teachers.
Buddhist monks also became more and more difficult to control. This lasted for decades until the death of the previous king and the present king's accession to the throne.
Today, because I have seen the domineering Buddhist monks under the auspices of the National Master, although he is far less close to, trusting, and trusting the Buddhist monks than his father, the late king.
But the true master has great magic power, and Buddhism has long been deeply rooted in Chechi Kingdom.
Although I am dissatisfied with Buddhism today, I have nothing to do about it and dare not act rashly.
This has continued until this year. There has been a drought. It has not rained for eight or nine months. The rivers have dried up. The crops have withered and there has been no harvest. In addition, the price of grain has increased in the country. A large number of people have starved to death and have to sell their children. Selling girls, leaving them homeless and miserable.
If it doesn’t rain, this is the duty of a national teacher to protect a country!
But Master Benzhen not only failed to ask for rain from heaven, but also because of his lack of strength, the two concubines of Jinshang were abducted by unknown monsters a few months ago. Their lives and whereabouts are unknown to this day.
This finally ignited the anger and dissatisfaction with Buddhism in Jin Shang's heart, so he offered a large reward to capable people to pray for rain.
I also felt what I was thinking.
The entire Chechi Kingdom also began to undergo subtle changes in its attitude towards Buddhist monks.
This is also the reason why a group of ministers dared to discuss Buddhism in the court.
“Hey, now it’s interesting, this real person actually came here for the position of National Master”
"Although the National Preceptor is domineering, he is indeed capable. Although this Taoist Priest is capable at first glance, it remains to be seen whether he can defeat the National Preceptor."
"Humph, the National Preceptor is capable. He is capable, but he cannot solve the severe drought in our country, let alone save the people whose families have been destroyed."
"I don't care if I am a Buddhist or a Taoist sect, as long as I can ask for rain to alleviate the severe drought in our country, Even if you let a monster be the national master, I will accept it!"
"Since this Qishan master dares to come to our Chechi country and stand in front of His Majesty and us, he must be well prepared. Just look at it.”
“That’s the truth.”
"Buddhism has been suffering in the country for a long time."
The civil and military ministers on both sides whispered about it.
On the throne.
A hint of joy flashed in the king's eyes when he heard Qi Hu's request, but he recovered quickly before he could think of how to speak.
At this moment.
"Where did the devil come from!"
"You dare to trick your majesty in front of your majesty!"
A sharp shout suddenly came from outside the hall.
Next.
"National Master, please wait a moment until the young general reports"
"Get out!"
"Who are you, you dare to block the way of our national master!"
The sound of pleading and flattery, and the sound of anger came from outside the hall.
The expressions of the ministers who all turned around and King Chechi who raised his head from the throne suddenly changed.
Then, everyone, including Qi Hu, saw a tall general in armor being knocked to the ground, and a short figure wearing a monk's robe and a cassock walked into the hall with great momentum. Inside.
This arrogance is indeed arrogant.
Looking at this scene, Qi Hu's eyes quickly turned around on the faces of the surrounding ministers and the king on the throne. It was obvious that they were dissatisfied and angry.
But no one said anything, including the king.
Qi Hu felt increasingly confident.
“I have met His Majesty.”
The short-statured Imperial Master Benzhen nodded slightly and saluted the king on the throne, then looked at Qi Hu, who was wearing a blue Taoist robe, and said coldly: "It's you, the Taoist priest, who revealed After hearing the notice, you still dare to brazenly say that you want to be a national teacher?"
The moment the words fell.
I saw a golden light flashing in the eyes of the national master.
Seeing that the monk opposite did not follow martial ethics, he took action directly.
Qi Hu, who was on guard, suddenly felt happy, and a golden light shone brightly in his originally bright eyes.
When blocking the spying control of the national master dwarf on the opposite side.
He quickly raised one foot and dropped it.
A moment.
With him as the center, the entire hall ground suddenly rumbled and trembled violently.
"This is."
"Not good!"
"The Earth Dragon has turned over!"
All the ministers in the palace immediately became unstable and cried out in fear.
But only for a breath.
The violent vibration, like an earth dragon turning over, came and went even faster, then subsided and disappeared.
Just when the king and the ministers recovered from their happiness and fear, they all went to adjust their clothes with their hats on their heads.
In the center of the hall, although he was short in stature, he was full of momentum and dressed in an imposing cassock. Benzhen Imperial Master suddenly took three steps back, looked at Qi Hu in the blue robe opposite and said angrily and coldly: "Okay Ah, it seems that he does have some abilities!"
"No wonder he dares to covet the position of national master!"
Hearing the words of the national master.
The young king and the ministers on the throne immediately reacted. It turned out that the big commotion just now was caused by these two. These two were fighting.
For a moment, the expressions on the faces of all the ministers changed. The expressions were really wonderful.
Although they were shocked and angry, no one dared to say anything.
Even King Chechi on the throne changed his face instantly when he heard the words of his true master. According to his temper, he really wanted to get angry and immediately kill these two daring guys. Push him down and behead him!
No, we can only kill the perverted monk and the national master!
The Qishan Master must still be kept. He needs him to pray for rain to save his people.
Thoughts surged in my mind.
King Chechi suppressed his anger and took a deep breath before he calmed down.
“I have disturbed Your Majesty.”
At this time, Qi Hu suddenly raised his hand and said: “The Imperial Master tested the poor Taoist, and the poor Taoist had no choice but to do so. I have disturbed Your Majesty, please. Your Majesty, forgive me." Hearing Qi Hu's words.
The ministers were suddenly in an uproar again. It turned out that the Imperial Master was the first to be rude, and Master Qi Shan was forced to fight back.
On the throne.
Hearing what Master Qishan said, the king of Chechi had the same reaction as his highness and his ministers. At this moment, he heard Master Qishan’s words of apology, and he suddenly felt good in his heart.
At the same time, he also heard from the words of Master Qishan that the other party was not afraid of his own powerful Benzhen Guoshi.
When he suddenly felt lucky, he also became more and more disgusted with the national preceptor, Buddhism, and monks.
The same sentence will naturally sound different in different people's ears.
Qi Hu took away all his responsibilities just now with one sentence.
The eminent monk Benzhen Guoshi who was the biggest victim naturally held a grudge in his heart, but even if he was a practitioner and had the ability, he still had to worry about his basic dignity in front of the King of Chechi, so he only Neng saluted the king and said: "Young monk Meng Lang, please forgive me!"
"Forgive me!"
"Of course you must forgive me!"
Hearing the words of apology from the Imperial Master, the king on the throne felt disgusted. At this time, his mind was racing, and he quickly thought of something, and then said: "Since the Imperial Master also agrees with Master Qishan's ability, then please invite Master Qishan Quickly set up an altar to pray for rain to moisten the land in our country and save the people in our country."
The king finished his words.
Qi Hu immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words, so he immediately shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, just like what I said before, I don't ask for gold and silver, let alone fertile land and beautiful women, as long as I Your Majesty agreed to Pindao on one condition, and Pindao immediately raised his altar to pray for rain. He was absolutely true!"
"Oh"
On the throne, King Chechi touched his forehead and said in frustration: " My memory is so bad, what did the real person say before?”
Qi Hu immediately answered: "As long as Your Majesty gives Pindao the position of national teacher, Pindao will immediately rise from the altar to pray for rain!"
"That's it."
On the throne, King Chechi He suddenly nodded, then looked at the National Master Benzhen, whose face was as dark as water, and said, "What do the National Master think?"
Hearing this.
Ben Zhen still doesn’t understand that this Niubi named Qishan Zhenren is trying to use Qiu Yu to threaten him and replace him as the National Preceptor. And the king on the throne who he almost watched grow up, It was obvious that he already had this thought in mind.
If this was normal, if he encountered a similar situation, he would have defeated it with force, attacked directly, and then walked away.
But now, he can neither move nor leave.
Because this Qishan master who appeared from nowhere can pray for rain.
Moreover, the opponent is obviously not low in strength, and the confrontation just now is proof of that. Although the strength of the awesome cultivation base is hidden by secret techniques, he can feel it.
If he really leaves now.
Then the reputation of being a national teacher for decades might really be gone.
Although he has many monks and monks under his command, they are not more than the number of national armored soldiers!
Moreover, things were too hasty. Who would have thought that this awesome thing was for his reputation as a national master? Could it be the revenge of some Taoist sect?
I should pay more attention to this king. If I can find out what the other person is thinking earlier.
I will never let the other person sit on the throne of the king. Even if I sit on it, You can also replace it with someone who is obedient.
But now.
“Hey”
With his mind racing, the Imperial Master Benzhen took a deep breath, calmed down, and then raised his hands and said: "The drought is too great, the people Difficult, if Master Qishan can ask for the rain from heaven, then I can take the position of national master."
"How can a poor monk live for countless people but only receive the position of national master? "Reluctant to leave"
"Amitabha."
Looking at the other person's face, he looked compassionate and generous.
Listen to the other party's words that he is willing to abdicate voluntarily for the sake of the people's survival.
Qi Hu suddenly felt shameless. If he hadn't seen this guy several times, who looked like a Buddhist monk, but actually had broken all the Buddhist rules and precepts behind his back, and was a completely lecherous monk, he would have actually believed him.
I sneered in my heart.
Qi Hu didn’t know how to cause trouble, but he still had to worry about being dignified in front of the king of Chechi.
Hearing such reasonable words from the Imperial Master.
The young king on the throne was the happiest, and immediately said: "I am really pleased that the national master can take state affairs as the most important thing, so I will suffer from the national master."
Finished.
He immediately looked at Qi Hu and asked: "Master, when will you start praying for rain?"
Hearing this.
Qi Hu immediately reached out and pinched his fingers.
This is not a pretense of blind pinching, but a calculation method of "the true method of praying for rain in a bumpy situation".
You can calculate the time and hour when praying for rain will have the best effect.
Not long after, Qi Hu, who successfully deduced the result, said softly: "Three days later, the weather will be the best!"
"Three days later!"
The king was overjoyed and immediately decided to set a time to pray for rain.
Soon.
The king, who was happy in his heart, looked at Qi Hu again and asked: "Where is the real person staying now?"
Qi Hu: "Inner City Inn."
The king immediately said : "How can a real person stay at a noisy inn? Come on, get the deed of the No. 8 Courtyard in the West District of the Inner City."
Seeing the king granting him a house, Qi Hu did not refuse. He raised his hand and accepted it, saying: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift."
The king asked again: "Does a real person have any disciples?"
Next time.
It seems that Qi Hu’s ability has been confirmed.
The king of Chechi State did not ask Qi Hu whether his prayer for rain would definitely succeed. What if he failed?
Qi Hu naturally knew this very well.
On the other hand, the national master beside him was like a clay monk for a moment, observing his eyes, nose and heart, and turning a deaf ear to everything around him.
The king of Chechi did not keep Qi Hu for long. After briefly caring about Qi Hu's living issues, he dismissed the court meeting.
The entrance to the main hall.
Looking at the back of the Imperial Master as he threw away his sleeves.
Qi Hu didn't care either. If the monk had done nothing to cause trouble, he would have taken over the position of the other party's national master in a fair and just manner.
After all, the monk is a disciple of Buddhism. No matter how depraved or chaotic he is
he must also worry about the face of Western Lingshan Buddhism to avoid being troubled in the future.
But if the other party does not follow the rules, is evil, and uses force, then he will have a reasonable reason to take action.
This way he will be justified even if he meets other monks in the future.
In short, we can’t simply kill them all.
As his cultivation strength gradually improved, Qi Hu also became more aware of the need to pay attention to these things.
"Lead the way"
After pondering for a while, Qi Hu withdrew his gaze and looked at the general in front of him.
"Real person please come here"
The tall general who led the way before led Qi Hu out of the palace with a group of armored soldiers, got on the carriage, and headed towards the Xicheng District in the inner city where only the rich and powerful could live.
Not long.
The carriage stopped in front of the door of a magnificent mansion in a quiet and spacious alleyway.
Qi Hu didn't get out of the car. He knew that the servants and maids given by the king were already on their way, so he didn't enter the mansion. He just raised the curtains and looked at the sky.
Raising an altar to pray for rain requires some preparation.
And when you become a national master, you also need boys to take care of you.
Seeing that it was still early, he looked at the general leading the way and said: "Go to the outer city"
