The Song Dynasty was the king for thirteen years before he knew that he was Tianlong.

Chapter 156: Divine Foot Sutra

At this time, in the Tongli Hall of the temple, Tong Guan had finished announcing the imperial edict. Xuanci took the imperial edict with both hands, looked at Zhao Ti and said, "Please invite the King of Yan to the Zen room for tea."

Zhao Ti nodded, walked out of the hall and went to the abbot's meditation room, which was where the Shaolin abbot met guests on a daily basis.

After arriving a moment later, he brought Tong Guan and Azhu in, while Xuanci summoned Xuan Nan, the abbot of the Dharma Hall, and Xuan Ji, the abbot of the Discipline Hall, to accompany them.

After they sat down, Xuanci said, "I understand your majesty's order. Although the Yijin Jing is precious, your majesty's order will be obeyed by this small temple. I don't know about copying it..."

Zhao Ti smiled and said, "I will do the copying myself. No need to trouble you masters."

Xuan Ci said, "No need to bother. However, the Yi Jin Jing is written in Sanskrit. I am worried that the King of Yan will dislike it after reading it. If the King of Yan does not want to do it himself, you can ask Junior Brother Xuan Xiang in the temple who is proficient in this text to copy it."

Zhao Ti shook his head: "I have learned many languages in the palace since I was young, including Sanskrit, so I will review them all."

Xuan Ci said, "I didn't expect that the King of Yan actually knows Sanskrit. I admire him. Most of the brothers and sisters in the temple don't know it."

Zhao Ti smiled slightly, he knew Xuan Ci could recognize Sanskrit, and the monks with the surname Xuan in the temple were not as bad as he said, most of them could recognize it, and what he said at the moment was just polite.

Xuanci is a person with a complicated personality. On the one hand, he has strong leadership skills, is good at socializing, and is eloquent. On the other hand, he does not know people, has no responsibility, and is weak and struggling.

As for Buddhism, although he was the abbot of Shaolin, he knew nothing about it.

At this time, the young monk outside brought tea. Zhao Ti took a sip and said, "Master Xuanci, what's going on with those people outside?"

Xuan Ci frowned upon hearing this, "It is really our fault that we disturbed the King of Yan. Those people are some unorthodox people in the martial arts world. They were originally scattered all over the country. I don't know when they were subdued by the Lingjiu Palace of Piaomiao Peak of Tianshan Mountain. They came to Shaolin this time and said they were delivering a letter."

"Master Xuanci knows Lingjiu Palace on Piaomiao Peak?" Zhao Ti asked.

"When I was young, I went to Western Xia to kill bandits. I have heard of the name of this place, but other than this name, I know very little else." Xuan Ci said.

Zhao Ti nodded: "What message did they send?"

Xuan Ci smiled bitterly and said, "They said they were ordered by Lingjiu Palace Master Tianshan Tonglao to warn Shaolin that someone was coming to the temple to steal the Yijin Jing."

As expected, Zhao Ti thought to himself that it must be Li Qiushui who wanted to obtain the Yi Jin Jing, but somehow Tong Lao got wind of the news and sent someone to report it in an attempt to stop her.

It seems that the injuries Li Qiu Shui suffered when she imitated the Sunflower Manual are difficult to heal. She had previously planned to target the Chen family, but Helian Tieshu disappeared without a trace. She didn't know the reason, so she turned her attention to the Yi Jin Jing.

The Yi Jin Jing can cure most meridians damaged by practicing incorrectly and the symptoms of demonic possession, otherwise Zhao Xu would not have thought of this skill.

"Master Xuanci, do you think this matter is true or not?" Zhao Ti asked with a smile.

Xuan Ci chanted a Buddhist name, "Originally I don't believe this kind of thing, but with so many people coming, I have to be suspicious. The two women in the lead claimed to be maids of Tianshan Tonglao, saying that the thief was extremely skilled in martial arts, and they were afraid that no one in the temple could defeat him, so they brought so many people to help. If the thief is really as powerful as he said, how can these people stop him? Many of them are probably going to die."

"Only when more people come can the Shaolin Temple believe us." Zhao Ti smiled slightly, "A large-scale killing will alarm the Shaolin Temple and make them be on guard."

Xuan Ci frowned and said, "If this is true, what worries and grudges do this Tong Lao and that person have that they would rather sacrifice their own men to stop the other party?"

Zhao Ti shook his head and sighed: "The hatred is as deep as the sea, the hatred is to the bone, and it will not stop until one dies." "Does the King of Yan know?" Xuan Ci asked in surprise.

"I've heard a little about it, so Master Xuanci should make preparations early." Zhao Ti said.

Xuan Ci pondered for a moment, "There are those unorthodox sects guarding outside the temple. Once the enemy comes, no matter how powerful their martial arts are, it will be impossible to kill them all silently. If they fight, it will definitely alarm the people inside the temple..."

"Master, don't just think about the outside of the temple." Zhao Ti glanced at the other party and said, "Tong Lao's plan is good, but if the other party has already sneaked into the temple, but has not yet discovered the place where the scriptures are hidden, and has been lying dormant, what should we say?"

Xuan Ci was shocked when he heard this: "Did you sneak into the temple early?"

Zhao Ti said: "It's just a guess. If Tong Lao could predict everything, she wouldn't have failed to get rid of the other party for so many years."

Xuan Ci pondered and said, "What the King of Yan said makes sense, but if this is possible, wouldn't it be easy for the other party to discover the copying of the scriptures? In that case, even if ambushes are set up all around, it is difficult to guarantee that the copying of the scriptures will be safe. King of Yan..."

Zhao Ti shook his head. He really had to copy this sutra himself, because the Shenzu Sutra was hidden within the Yi Jin Jing.

The full name of the "Shenzu Sutra" is the "Shenzu Sutra for the Accomplishment of Samadhi in the Kingdom of Magadha", which was written on the "Yi Jin Jing" book with invisible grass liquid.

With the Shenzu Sutra, one can use it and the ice silkworm's own innate cold poison to practice into the Ice Silkworm Divine Palm, also known as the Ice Divine Palm.

If Zhao Xu had not sent him to obtain the Yi Jin Jing, then this matter could have been postponed. But now that he is here and Li Qiu Shui wants to seize the Yi Jin Jing, he has to take it first.

As for not telling Shaolin that the sutra was hidden there and asking them to fetch it for him, there are only two reasons. The first is that he cannot explain why he knew about this. The Yi Jin Jing has never left Shaolin, and he has never been to the temple. How did he know about the existence of the Shen Zu Jing?

The second and most important point is that he is not the emperor. Zhao Xu can order the copying of scriptures, and Shaolin Temple will generally obey. However, it is another matter for him to obtain scriptures from Shaolin Temple, especially a scripture like the Shenzu Sutra which has never appeared in the world. Shaolin may not give it to him, and it is not easy for him to take it by force.

Then just read it once when you copy the Yi Jin Jing, and don't destroy it. As for who will discover it in the future, it is up to the individual's fate.

"It's okay." Zhao Ti said, "It's just a guess. Even if that person is really hiding in the temple and gets the news and comes to rob, this is a good opportunity for me to see what kind of expert he is."

Zhao Ti had always wanted to see what state Li Qiu Shui would be in after her simulation of the Sunflower Manual backfired.

In fact, he was not worried about Li Qiu Shui taking action. One reason was that his martial arts skills were basically enough to protect himself. Even if Li Qiu Shui really killed through the protection of these monks and came to steal the scriptures, he would be defeated. Then he could just run away. As long as he ran to the sweeping monk in the Sutra Library, everything would be fine.

However, when he thought of the Sweeping Monk, he couldn't help but think of one thing. Zhou Tong's master Jin Tai was also in the temple, but he didn't know what his Buddhist name was or in which hall he was practicing.

Zhao Ti had wondered before whether Jin Tai was the Sweeping Monk, but after calculating his age, he felt that it was unlikely. The Sweeping Monk must be nearly a hundred years old or over a hundred years old, and Jin Tai was not that old.

Moreover, Jin Tai was still following Wang Anshi's reform more than ten years ago, protecting Wang Anshi and busying himself in court. The Sweeping Monk should not have left Shaolin for decades, so the timing does not match.

Just as Xuan Ci was about to say something to dissuade him, Zhao Ti said, "I heard that the old boxer Jintai, who followed Wang Wengong in reforming the law, is now in the temple?"

Xuan Ci was stunned when he heard this: "Old boxer Jintai?"
