Chapter 553 Emperor Wu's Imperial Edict, One Bud, One Spring

With the help of Prince Zhuchi, the palace was in chaos in the middle of the night. Many eunuchs and guards became Lin Xun's helpers, digging the palace three feet deep without leaving any corner, searching for the strange object that can purify evil thoughts.

But until dawn, they still didn't find it.

[Junior brother, do you think it is possible that Emperor Wu took the strange object with him when he went to sea? ]

[Senior Brother Baixiang led a large group of eunuchs to search until dawn but found nothing, and couldn't help but remind him. ]

Lin Xun thought carefully and shook his head. This possibility is indeed possible, but it is not great.

After Emperor Wu fell into extreme evil, he no longer needed this strange object. For Emperor Wu, continuing to hold the strange object that can purify evil thoughts is like a vampire holding silver garlic, which will only avoid it.

Moreover, if the germination of the Glazed Pure Fire Seed depends on this strange object, then the strange object will definitely not be taken away by Emperor Wu.

Because Daozu said that when fighting against the real Emperor Wu, it is necessary to summon the friendly boss ‘Zhongtian Fanqi Zixu Yuanjun’, and summoning the friendly boss requires the germination of the Pure Fire Seed.

If the strange object has been taken away by Emperor Wu and needs to be killed before it can drop, then Daozu would not have arranged it so that he could improve his cultivation as soon as possible to upgrade the Pure Fire Seed.

[The White Elephant Monster left with a group of eunuchs and started searching again...]

[You came to the Palace of Supreme Harmony. Prince Zhu Chi has gathered a group of officials and craftsmen from the Ministry of Works. They have obtained the drawings and records of the palace's repairs from Wenyuan Pavilion. They are looking for whether Emperor Wu has secretly built a secret room or an underground secret passage. ]

[If there is any clue on the drawings, the guards will be sent to check immediately. ]

[Although the craftsmen found many clues that there may be secret rooms, the guards found nothing after digging the walls and the ground and carefully checking. 】

【A young craftsman took out a drawing and suddenly pointed at it and said, Your Majesty, I found something wrong with the renovation drawing of Ningshou Palace. 】

【Prince Zhu Chi was shocked and said seriously, Tell me, if there is anything found here, I will definitely reward you generously! 】

【The function of Ningshou Palace is somewhat strange. It is the place where Emperor Wu prepared for his retirement after his abdication. The layout of this area is modeled after the main axis of the Forbidden City, and it is fully functional, like a small palace. 】

【However, Emperor Wu has the infinite life granted by Western gods and Buddhas, and his life span is endless. Unless he is tired of being an emperor, he will not live in Ningshou Palace. 】

【Ningshou Palace has become the place where the old queens of all generations have retired. The previous queen died of illness in Ningshou Palace many years ago. The current queen is in her prime, so no one lives in Ningshou Palace now. ]

[After each old empress passed away, Emperor Wu would send craftsmen to renovate Ningshou Palace, so the renovation drawings from many years ago did not attract the attention of the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works. ]

[The young craftsman had never participated in that renovation. It was his father who participated in that renovation...]

[The young craftsman met the majestic gaze of 'Emperor Wu', and he didn't know where he got the courage from. The suspicions and speculations of many years surged in his heart, and he said in a high voice...]

[Your Majesty, my father participated in the renovation of Ningshou Palace many years ago. Not long after the completion of the work, my father died of illness. ]

[I carefully looked at the drawings and thought that there were three places in Ningshou Palace that might have secret passages and secret rooms...]

[...]

[Dozens of guards went to Ningshou Palace to investigate under the order of the prince, and soon brought good news. ]

[Prince Zhu Chi immediately left the ministers and took you to check...]

[The inner room of Ningshou Palace was in a mess. Most of the furnishings had been removed by the guards, and even several walls had been chiseled down. ]

[In front of the bed of the former ‘emperor’, the excavated ground was full of pits and pits, revealing a dark tunnel leading underground...]

[You were delighted and immediately stepped into the tunnel to check.]

[Prince Zhu Chi consciously ordered the guards to guard the entrance of the tunnel and no one was allowed to enter.]

[You did not let the guards go down to the tunnel to check first, because you knew that if there was a trap set by Emperor Wu, mortals would definitely not be able to resist it.]

[And you have the power of an eternal god, which can be called a skilled and daring person.]

[You walked along the long tunnel and successfully entered a secret room without triggering the imagined trap.]

[The furnishings in the secret room were simple, and a stack of papers with handwriting was quietly placed on the table, but there was no trace of anything similar to a strange object. ]

[You come to the desk and browse the papers covered with ink...]

[You find the 'Emperor Wu's Imperial Edict' (data item)]

[...]

[Now, the whole country of Zhuchi has been trapped in the quagmire of the war of gods and cannot extricate itself. Even if the soldiers and generals of Zhuchi are better than all the armies in the world, they can only retreat step by step.]

[To call it a war of gods is to flatter the soldiers of Zhuchi. Compared with the real war of gods, the war in Zhuchi can only be called a 'war of believers'.]

[The soldiers sent by the country of Xinde are all descendants of the Western gods and Buddhas. Each of them has magical powers that mortals cannot resist. It is beyond my expectation that they can hold on until now.]

[Perhaps, the enemy's intention is not to defeat Zhuchi at all, but to let the endless evil thoughts infect the soldiers of Zhuchi and turn the whole country of Zhuchi into an extremely evil place like Xinde. 】

【I know that the Pure Land of Xinde, the descendant of the Western gods and Buddhas, has become an extremely evil place, and the Western Paradise must have long been reduced to a dark and gloomy place of ghosts. 】

[The only way now is to cross the sea to Penglai and seek the help of the Taoist immortals who have been in seclusion for many years, so that the Zhuchi Kingdom can continue. ]

[Otherwise, when the believers' war is defeated, the land of Zhuchi will become the next cherry blossom! ]

[Zhuchi is the only pure land left in the world. I have been in charge of this land for a thousand years. How can I let the beautiful mountains and rivers turn into a purgatory on earth! ]

[Whether those Taoist immortals have predicted such a situation in advance or have been in seclusion because they cannot compete with the Western gods and Buddhas, I will go to Penglai. ]

[Perhaps in the eyes of those immortals, I am just a villain who curries favor with the powerful. 】

【I became the emperor of Zhuchi by clinging to the gods and Buddhas of the West. After I founded the country and became the emperor, I respected Buddhism and suppressed Taoism according to the will of the gods and Buddhas. I cleared the Taoist temples and shrines in Zhuchi, built many temples and Buddhist monasteries, drove out the Qigong practitioners, and burned the Taoist scriptures...】

【Now that I have reached the end of my road, I have no choice but to abandon the gods and Buddhas of the West and go to Penglai to seek help from the Taoist immortals. What else can I do if this is not a two-faced villain? 】

【But my personal reputation, compared with Zhuchi’s country and hundreds of millions of people, what is it? 】

【……】

【Fortunately, the immortals did not reject me, nor did they treat me with the same view. It seems that the incense of the whole country of Zhuchi is not a precious thing to the Taoist immortals. ]

[The boy treated me with courtesy. Seeing his expression, I even had an illusion: whether it was the millions of common people or your Red Emperor, if you believed, you could believe it. If you didn’t, leave quickly. Don’t disturb my heart of seeking the Tao and ascending to heaven. ]

[Seeing the boy’s behavior, I suddenly realized that how could the Western gods and Buddhas cultivate the great Prajna and great freedom? ]

[The real great freedom is nothing more than this...]

[Penglai Island seemed like a fairy palace falling to the ground. I followed the boy to go deep into the island, but I didn’t see the many immortals recorded in the Taoist scriptures, nor did I get an audience with the Taoist ancestor. ]

[The person I met was a female immortal Yuanjun who I had never heard of. According to the boy, she was a new disciple of the Taoist ancestor. ]

[‘Zixu Yuanjun’ looks like a celestial being, and her cultivation is all-encompassing. But from Yuanjun’s words and deeds, I vaguely feel that Yuanjun didn’t seem to be a native of the Middle Earth before she became an immortal? ]

['Zi Xu Yuan Jun' told me the instructions of my Taoist ancestor that Yama God had left a kind, a bud, and a spring to be given to his left and right attendants and his assistant, Lady Zi Guang, 'Zhong Tian Fan Qi Dou Mu Yuan Jun'. ]

[The left and right attendants are 'Great Wisdom Infinite Intention Bodhisattva' and 'Ten Great Wishes King Samantabhadra Bodhisattva', who hold a kind and a bud respectively, and the spring is now in Penglai. ]

[If Emperor Wu wants to find a glimmer of hope, he must ask the Bodhisattva for a kind or a bud. ]

[As long as he asks for any of the kind and the bud, Zhu Chi may be able to continue his life...]

[...]

[After a detailed discussion, I left Penglai and returned to the palace with great worry. ]

[Because Yuan Jun told me that Yama God's left and right attendants are likely to be like the gods and Buddhas in the West, who are all entangled in evil spirits and have fallen into extreme evil without knowing it. ]

[If I want to call on the two Bodhisattvas to obtain a kind and a bud, the risk is too great. If I am not careful, I will be doomed. ]

[I have been thinking for a long time, and the bad news of the army's defeat came from the front. ]

[I finally made up my mind and decided to take a risk. ]

[With my decree, the construction of the 'Qin'an Hall' was completed soon, and the statue of Yuanjun was carved by the best craftsmen in the palace. ]

[I decided to call on the right attendant of Yama, 'Samantabhadra Bodhisattva of the Ten Great Wishes', at the opening ceremony of the Qin'an Hall. ]

[……]

[……]

[I won the bet! ]

['Samantabhadra Bodhisattva of the Ten Great Wishes' is different from those gods and Buddhas who have been haunted by evil spirits. As the right attendant of Yama, he really has supreme supernatural powers and has not fallen into extreme evil. ]

[The great bodhisattva handed 'One Bud' to me and told me to nourish 'One Bud' with sweet spring water. When the real time comes, I can go to Penglai again. The Taoist Immortal will tell me what to do next. ]

[After the Great Bodhisattva loses the protection of the 'One Bud', he will soon fall into extreme evil, and I can no longer call him down to earth to show his saintliness. ]

[The Great Bodhisattva did not tell me when the real time is. I can only offer sacrifices to Yuanjun every month to nourish the 'One Bud' and dispel the evil thoughts that are silently contaminated...]

[...]

[More than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. The front-line military retreats step by step. The mountains and rivers of the Zhuchi land are broken and corpses are everywhere. ]

[The army of the Xinde Kingdom has attacked the capital with great momentum, and the army is at the gates of the city...]

[I... can't wait any longer! ]

[I don't know when the real time is, but I know that if I wait for the opportunity again and do nothing, then Zhuchi will be destroyed today! ]

[I am determined to call on the left attendant of the God of Hell to collect a bud and a spring! ]

[This is the only way now. Maybe the real time will come after the three items are collected! ]

[...]

[...]

[Hahahaha! ]

[I won the bet again! ]

[Although the capital has been reduced to ruins in the war, the palace has been saved, and the Xinde army has also retreated...]

[This 'Great Darkness Infinite Delusion Bodhisattva' is so beautiful! ]

[She is a hundred times more beautiful than my concubines. If I can have a night of romance with her, I would be willing to give up my throne. ]

[Unfortunately, the incense temple of this left-handed Bodhisattva is in Xinde, and it is too troublesome to call him down to earth to show his sainthood again. ]

[However, the right attendant, the 'Ten Great Vows King Sanmantuo Bodhisattva', is not bad, and his incense temple is in the capital...]

[...]

[The right attendant Bodhisattva's taste is indeed the ultimate bliss on earth. It turns out that the real time the Bodhisattva said is now. So that's it! So that's it!]

[Hehe, these gods and Buddhas in the West look solemn, but they are more unrestrained than that prostitute on the bed. It's really wonderful.]

[The Bodhisattva was impressed by my bedroom skills and gave me a spell to summon gods for self-defense, and also gave me a red hemp rope as a fun thing for future lovemaking.]

[As a return gift, I gave the young bud on my chest to the Bodhisattva. This thing is very uncomfortable to wear. I don't know why I wore it on my chest in the first place.]

[Huh... Where did this thing come from? Why can't I remember it all of a sudden?]

[I looked through the imperial edicts I recorded before, but couldn't find any clues. It's really strange! 】

【……】

【……】

【I often call on the Great Bodhisattva to come down to earth and bring me bliss. Those beautiful beauties in the harem are now extremely ugly in my eyes, not even as good as the Great Bodhisattva's little toe. 】

【I can clearly feel that the more I have sex with the Great Bodhisattva, the more surging the 'Buddha spirit' in my body is...】

【Today, the 'Buddha spirit' is finally overflowing, and I have been summoned by the destiny of heaven - 'Canggu Tianyan'! 】

【……】

【……】

【I have become a true emperor and the agent of Canggu Tianyan! 】

【I am carrying the will of heaven and preparing to sail east to find Penglai, in order to eliminate those Taoist immortals who have long betrayed and are full of evil spirits for heaven! 】

【This is the destiny of heaven, and I have no choice but to do it! ]

[It's a pity that after crossing the sea to the east, I left the incense temple of the great Bodhisattva. If I want to have fun with the Bodhisattva again, I have to wait until I return from the east...]

[I can't help but think of the great Bodhisattva being trapped on the bed by the red hemp rope, trying hard to resist and cry but unable to move... The great Bodhisattva loves this kind of boudoir pleasure, how could I refuse the beauty's intention? ]

[I also enjoy it! ]

[It's a pity, it's a pity, I can only choose a few concubines to cross the sea to the east together to relieve loneliness...]

[...]

[The content of the imperial handwritten letter ends here. ]

After Lin Xun browsed the information props, countless characters flashed in his eyes.

The first time Emperor Wu crossed the Penglai to the east, Zixu Yuanjun told Emperor Wu that if he wanted to find a chance of survival, he had to ask for a bud or a kind of.

Then Emperor Wu summoned the right-handed great Bodhisattva, who was given a 'bud' and kept nourishing it with sweet springs, waiting for the opportunity mentioned by the great Bodhisattva.

Lin Xun knew that the so-called real opportunity should be to wait for the evil god to cross the void, leave this world, and then go to Penglai to implement the plan of reincarnation for Canggu Tianyan.

However, before Emperor Wu waited for the real opportunity, Zhuchi Kingdom could not hold on.

Emperor Wu could only give it a try and call on the left attendant of Yan Shen again, thinking that maybe after collecting a kind of bud, the real opportunity would come early.

Unfortunately, Emperor Wu lost the second bet, and what he called was not the "Great Wisdom Infinite Meaning Bodhisattva", but the Bodhisattva's current body that had fallen into extreme evil...

So far, Emperor Wu fell into extreme evil.
