Chapter 1655: As the News Spreads

Qiao Lin led several Tianfu Army warriors to guard Lord Jiang, and returned to Minhe Temple with his head held high and his chest puffed out.

The courtyard was immediately filled with cheers.

It seemed as if Jiang Wang was already invincible in the world.

Jiang Wang had to suppress them to prevent them from getting swollen and making enemies for him.

He liked challenges, but he didn't like to be beaten.

Even if other things were not counted, he couldn't say that he was invincible in this Minhe Temple.

The God's Realm is not like the outer building or the inner palace, and there is no obvious distinction between small realms. There is only one Yunshen Temple, where the Dao veins flow and the soul sits in it. There is no such thing as five palaces and four floors, and there is no particularly obvious boundary. However, as the first major realm after breaking the gap between heaven and man, the so-called "gate of the upper three grades", the strength gap between different cultivators is very different.

The God's Realm has always been boundless.

How can mortals in the world distinguish between the strong as gods?

Even among the divine cultivators themselves, some first cultivate the spiritual realm, some first develop supernatural powers, and some first practice the path. It is difficult to distinguish the strong from the weak just by looking at the external manifestation.

Based on his own contact, Jiang Wang feels that if the battle power is used to distinguish, it can be generally divided into four levels.

For example, Zheng Chaoyang, who spent a huge price or relied on special means to achieve divine presence, has innate deficiencies, no supernatural powers, failed to achieve the spiritual realm, and the path is not solid enough... is a weak divine presence. Its strength is probably stronger than those divine generals and demons in the borderland who only have simple spiritual intelligence, but it is enough to suppress the outer building cultivators who are separated from heaven and man with its golden body and jade marrow.

For example, Yue Leng and Li Youjiu, who can take on important positions in powerful national institutions and have no lack of killing methods, are regular divine presence. This type of divine presence occupies the vast majority of divine presence cultivators in the world. Including Zhou Xiong and Yan Po, they all belong to this category.

For example, the Xia Kingdom Marquises he faced on the battlefield, in terms of magical powers, Taoism, killing methods, spiritual realm, and physical body, all performed well at the same time, which is called strong divine presence. The upper limit of this level is extremely high, and he himself is also at this level, including Dou Zhao, Chong Xuanzun, and even Ji Zhaonan, Chunyu Gui and other older people, are also among them.

For example, the level of the Sinful King Huang Jinmo and the former fierce butcher Chong Xuan Chu Liang is the ultimate divine presence. Looking at the world, there are very few of them, which can be said to be rarer than real people.

Of course, if you really want to be more rigorous, you can also subdivide them. For example, those who have a chance to become a cave, for example, those who have reached the limit in a certain direction, and for example, in the level of strong divine presence, Ji Zhaonan is definitely stronger than Chong Xuanzun now, can it be divided into another level... But this is too cumbersome and unnecessary.

Jiang Wang examined his own strength and asked himself that he could fight under the ultimate divine presence. There may be differences in strength, but in the battle of life and death, there is no complete lack of chance.

If he faced a top-notch God, he would just run for his life.

When he was beaten by Zhongxuan Chuliang on the stage, although he was only an inner court, Ji Zhaonan was a real God-like genius, but he was easily crushed by Zhongxuan Chuliang like a piece of mud.

At that time, Zhongxuan Chuliang was "instructing" three people at the same time, and at the same time, he crushed three top-level geniuses with three levels of cultivation!

When he beat Ji Zhaonan, he used God, when he beat Zhongxuanzun, he used the outer building, and when he beat Jiang Wang, he used the inner court. His control of power was simply superb, and he beat all three of them speechless.

Thinking back to this day, Jiang Wang didn't think he could perform better than Ji Zhaonan.

This time he came to the grassland to watch the ceremony, he didn't need to care about the envoys of small countries. Among the envoys of powerful countries, Murong Longqie and Huang Budong were almost ten years older, and he didn't plan to provoke them.

For peers like Zhongli Yan, Dou Zhao, and Chen Suan, he accepted them all and didn't mind exchanging a few words.

Even the powerful gods in Muguo, those famous young gods, such as the children of several true blood families, such as Na Liang who had been to Guanhetai... If the people of Muguo didn't mind, he would also like to try his hand.

Fighting is to recognize oneself and to verify the road. In short, it is to strictly implement the instructions of the Emperor of Qi and strive to win face for Qi.

As for now...

After taking a bath and changing clothes, Lord Jiang asked Qiao Lin to prepare a gift, and then he took it himself and went to visit the host of Minhe Temple, the golden crown priest Tu Hu.

Although Yuwen Duo reminded him not to cause trouble, Jiang Wang thought that the other party helped in the border wilderness, and he should at least show his appreciation after returning to the royal court.

The main hall of Minhe Temple is called "Guangwen Yexiewu".

The name of this hall is a bit strange, because it is a combination of words from two language systems, "Guangwen" and "Yexiewu".

Yexiewu is naturally a divine language, meaning "hero".

Guangwen is a term commonly used by Buddhists, Taoists and Confucians, describing "broad knowledge".

Of course, in Guangwen Yexiwu Temple, its meaning is - let our call for heroes be heard by the world.

It is to call for the return of Minhar, the divine messenger of the year.

After Minhe Temple became an institution for the reception of foreign envoys in the Mu Kingdom, it has derived a new meaning over time - "singing the name of heroes", which means welcoming heroes from all over the world to visit.

As for why the word "Guangwen" was used at the beginning, Jiang Wang privately guessed that it might be because he was afraid that Minhar, who was not in the grassland, would not receive this call...

Of course, this is just a wild guess. The grassland language also has many parts of the Central Plains, which can be seen from those true blood families.

Before going to the Canglang Arena, Jiang Wang specially sent someone to inquire, and Tu Hu was indeed in Minhe Temple, so this time he did not expect to miss it - envoys from various countries arrived in the grassland one after another, and Tu Hu, the person in charge of welcoming foreign envoys, ran around everywhere, which was really a bit strange.

Regarding the visit of Marquis Wu'an of Qi State, Tu Hu did not show any arrogance. Instead, he opened the door of the main palace and personally introduced him into the palace.

Tu Hu today is still as rich and gorgeous as the day we first met him. Wearing an extremely complicated golden crown sacrificial robe, it shows the grace and power of God, and he is aloof, but the feeling of him is very real and vivid.

Although that handsome face is deep, it does not give people a sense of distance.

Just the opposite of what it was like in the wilderness.

He and Jiang Wang casually explained various aspects of Guangwen Yexiewuan Hall, from architectural style to historical anecdotes, in a friendly, natural and witty way, which made people feel like they were taking a breath of spring breeze.

Entering the tall, solemn and resplendent gate, the first thing Jiang Wang saw was a huge bell.

This bell is azure in color and hangs in the middle of the courtyard. It has detailed reliefs depicting the story of Minhar's preaching. Because it is too large, it is like a screen wall.

People who come in must go around it to see the scenery behind it.

"This Guangwen bell has never rung since the day when the Guangwen Ye Xieyuan Hall was completed." Tu Hu introduced it with a hint of sadness in his tone.

Of course Jiang Wang knew why it had not sounded. The story about Minhar had been circulating on the grassland for countless years.

But when he heard the name "Guangwen Bell", he suddenly thought of another bell.

The treasure of Xuankong Temple is "I Hear the Bell".

The names are so similar, is there any connection?

However, one is in the Cangtu Sect and the other is in the Eastern Holy Land of Buddhism. They are really unrelated.

Jiang Wang felt that he was probably a little too sensitive.

There were many doubts about Mu Country, coupled with the experience of hunting demons in the wilderness, which made him feel that there were some secrets wherever he looked in Mu Country.

"Guangwen...a good name." He replied without any mistakes.

Tu Hu strolled along, as if bathed in divine light, and said softly: "Yes. 'It is like hearing widely', 'It is like making people know and hear', 'It is like I hear', this Buddhist sect has 'Three hearings and three Buddhas' faith', How could it be bad?”

Jiang Wang was shocked.

Tu Hu's words couldn't be more clear. This Guangwen Bell is related to the Wowen Bell in Xuankong Temple!

But how?

There is a Buddhist sect in the Eastern Region and a divine sect in the Northern Region. Not to mention natural opposition, at least they are clearly distinct. Why is there a story in it?

He raised his eyes and looked at the relief on the surface of the giant blue clock: "Then this relief..."

If the Guangwen Bell is a Buddhist object, how come it has the story of Minhaer, the divine envoy of Cangtu, embossed on it?

"Oh." Tu Hu said casually: "It was carved up after the destruction of Kurongyuan."

He said it so casually, as if he wasn't telling a big secret.

But the name Kureiyuan is too sensitive.

It involves Qi's deposing and establishing the crown prince, and even involves Qi and Xia's struggle for hegemony.

The Minhe Temple located in the Supreme Court of the Prairie Empire, the Guangwen Bell hanging on the door of the main courtyard of the main hall, is actually related to the Kurong Temple?

Once the dust of history is swept away, the cobwebs will spread in the yellow scroll of time. When future generations look back on the past, all they see are fragments of words and fragmented scenes. Only by piecing it together bit by bit can we get a glimpse of the truth.

The difficulty and complexity of this piece of piecing together is the greatness of "The Great Sword".

However, there is no record of this Guangwen Bell in "Historical Swordsman Cutting the Sea", so Jiang Wang has no way to figure it out.

So what happened between Qi State and Mu State, Mu Ting and Kurongyuan back then?

The story of the divine envoy Minhar's mission to the Central Region seems to be more complicated than imagined. It seems that what is involved in Guangwen Yexiewuan Hall is not just what people describe...

Even if the name Ye Xieyuan is widely heard, it is not that simple.

The main hall of Minhe Temple, which commemorates the envoy of Cangtu Religion, is actually named after a Guangwen bell related to Kurongyuan.

Just think about it, and you will feel that there are thousands of threads involved, and there are countless secret entanglements.

History is so complicated!

After experiencing many things about the complexity of history, Jiang Wang is no longer so surprised.

What surprised him was, why did Tu Hu tell him this?

He didn't think that he was very lovable, or that Tu Hu had any good habits of being a teacher.

It had been many days since they had been in Mu Country. Except for the day they first arrived at Minhe Temple and the chance encounter in the border wilderness, they had never had any personal contact. If it hadn't been for his visit this time, there would not have been this exchange.

So why?

A hint? A tacit understanding? A hint?

Jiang Wang recalled what Emperor Qi had said before leaving -

"Put a pair of ears and a pair of eyes, listen more, see more, come back and tell me what you heard and saw, that's all."

Because he sighed: "It's true that I am ignorant. I have never heard of the 'three hearings and three Buddhas' faith'."

"Oh?" Tu Hu looked over with his deep eyes: "Aren't you a disciple of Master Kujue of Xuankong Temple?"

Hearing this, Jiang Wang's first thought was - Tu Hu, the golden-crowned priest of the Cangtu Sect and a powerful figure in the Mu Kingdom, actually knew the name of Ku Jue. If the yellow-faced old monk heard about it, he would definitely be very happy.

It should be noted that even in the Buddhist territory of Xuankong Temple, few people knew him, let alone called him "Master".

He just said: "Master Kujue did treat me very well, but I have no intention of escaping into Buddhism."

"Yes." Tu Hu nodded: "The national system is where the torrent of humanity lies, and it is more in line with the general trend than any sect."

There is nothing wrong with this.

But when Tu Hu, a man with a complex identity and contradictory stance, said this, there was a bit of a vague meaning.

Jiang Wang wanted to ask if the sect in Tu Hu's words included the Cangtu Divine Religion. But thinking that this would violate the principle of "only bringing ears and eyes" as said by the emperor, he said, "I didn't think so much, mainly because my six senses are not pure, and I feel that I have no affinity with Buddhism."

Tu Hu said, "You are said to have impure six senses, and the Shen'en Temple doesn't want you to go. I think you are aiming for something big?"

Jiang Wang replied, "It's actually very small."

"Size is only a relative concept, just like time is only a measure created by humans. Only this world, this space, exists." Tu Hu raised his mouth slightly, looked at the Guangwen Bell again, and sighed, "I think when Kurongyuan placed the Guangwen Bell here, it didn't expect that it would last longer than Kurongyuan itself."

Kurongyuan, Kurongyuan, Tu Hu has mentioned Kurongyuan again and again.

Since "Ru De Guang Wen" and "Ru Shi Wo Hear" are both famous in the so-called "Three Hearings and Three Buddhas' Faith", then Guang Wen Bell must be a treasure of the same level as Wo Wen Bell.

Why did Kurongyuan put such a treasure in Muguo Minhe Temple?

Jiang Wang had a strong curiosity in his heart, but this curiosity was accompanied by uneasiness.

At this time, Yu Wenduo's reminder came to his mind again-trouble. The person in front of him was a very troublesome person.

Jiang Wang suppressed his curiosity again and smiled: "I am not familiar with Kurongyuan at all."

Tu Hu smiled slightly and said nothing. He led the way and bypassed this Guang Wen Bell-maybe it should be called "Guang Wen Minhar Bell" now?

The two walked through the courtyard and passed through another door before entering the main hall and taking their seats.

Tu Hu was sitting at the top, solemn and dignified, with impeccable posture and etiquette.

"Speaking of which, Marquis Wu'an visited today..." He glanced at the large and small items in Jiang Wang's hand and continued, "He also brought gifts. What's the matter?"

Jiang Wang put down the gift in his hand and said solemnly, "I came here mainly to thank Master Tu for his help in the borderland."

Tu Hu raised his eyebrows: "Borderland?"

Jiang Wang was surprised and said, "Did Master forget it? It happened a few days ago."

"Maybe I'm too busy." Tu Hu pressed his forehead and looked a little distressed: "What did I do?"

Jiang Wang's doubts deepened, but he suppressed his heart, repeated the matter as briefly as possible, and thanked him again and again.

After listening to this, Tu Hu thought: "Capturing the spirit, revealing the true appearance, and transforming into a demon must be the work of the Phantom Demon Lord."

"Phantom Demon Lord?"

"One of the highest commanders of the demon clan north of the life and death line. His real body is in the Tomb of the Ten Thousand Worlds, but his power is only projected here. But he rarely takes action..."

"Above the real demon, isn't it the Heavenly Demon? This Demon Lord... is he above the top?"

"Oh, that's not the case." Tu Hu explained: "The Demon Lord is indeed stronger than the ordinary Heavenly Demon, but he has not been able to transcend the top. He is a very special existence in the Tomb of the Ten Thousand Worlds. There are only eight at most in the same era. Now there are only four, and the Phantom Demon Lord is one of them."

"Which four are they?"

"These four are the God Demon Lord, the Emperor Demon Lord, the Phantom Demon Lord, and the Seven Hate Demon Lord!"

ps:

The so-called "Three Hearings and Three Buddha Beliefs", like the "Realization of the Immortal Diamond Sutra" in the previous article, are all compiled by the author with a lot of effort. Don't take the Buddhist sect outside the book seriously.

The author has no knowledge of Buddhism at all. He only pursues a kind of philosophical self-consistency in the world of sincerity and the balance of all aspects of power construction. He does not have the ability to become a classic. Readers who have studied this should not take it seriously.
