Embers of Sword

Chapter 289 Buddha Bones
"Fangyuanfang will split up sooner or later."

After listening to this, Xie Xuanyi came to a conclusion in his mind.

Hearing this, Chen Jingxuan just smiled.

"Who says it's not?"

The young imperial teacher lowered his eyes and said, "Can Dali and Dachu really remain peaceful forever?"

"So, bringing Chu Guo back is also related to the changes in the situation in Fangyuanfang."

Xie Xuanyi said: "According to what you said, if we want to complete this matter under the eyes of the Holy Queen, we need to build a plank road openly and march through Chencang secretly."

"good."

Getting down to business, Chen Jingxuan said, "Someone has already repaired the plank road. Now all we need to do is... wait."

"Hmm?" Xie Xuanyi raised his eyebrows.

"Three hundred years ago, Da Chu and Da Li once joined forces to fight against the Demon Kingdom. At that time, the two rulers were on good terms with each other. After the war ended, there was peace for sixty years."

Chen Jingxuan said: "The Southern Dynasty revered Buddhism. The Emperor of Dali sent an envoy to stay in Dachu to spread Buddhism."

Xie Xuanyi knew this history.

When the delegation crossed west, it brought a lot of gifts. The members of the delegation were all high-ranking monks from the Nanli Buddhist sect. They settled down and built temples in the imperial city of Da Chu, and made many contributions to the peace that followed for the next sixty years. Today, Buddhist monks can still be seen in Da Chu, all because of the good relationships they had formed back then.

"I heard that these monks built a large Pudu Temple in the eastern suburbs of the Dachu Imperial City."

Xie Xuanyi murmured, "Later, they passed away one after another, and their remains were enshrined in this Da Pudu Temple..."

"This is the 'plank road'."

Chen Jingxuan said calmly: "The world is often in chaos, and peace is rare. Later, Chu and Li were at war for a while, and they met with swords. Until the Battle of Drinking Poison, the two dynasties negotiated again because of foreign invasion..."

Now is also a peaceful time.

"According to the agreement made during the crossing, the Li Kingdom will send an envoy to the west every sixty years."

Chen Jingxuan said slowly: "There is news from Fangyuanfang. It is said that the Buddhist disciples of this generation, following the order of the Zen master, have already set out from Liguo... Soon, they will arrive in Dachu, teach Buddhism at the Dapudu Temple, and bring back the Buddha bones and corpses of the monks who passed away that year."

Xie Xuanyi understood what Chen Jingxuan meant.

This delegation will return after arriving in Da Chu.

"It's rude to come and not reciprocate."

Xie Xuanyi chuckled and said, "After crossing the west, the Great Chu delegation will travel east."

"Yes."

Chen Jingxuan also smiled: "The delegation traveled eastwards and went to the country of Li with a legitimate reason. This is the 'plank road' that was built on the surface... The Buddha bones of the eminent monks in the Da Pudu Temple are so precious. Da Chu will naturally do his best to cooperate in the escort."

Say it.

Chen Jingxuan took out a case file from his sleeve and slowly handed it to the jade table.

Xie Xuanyi took a glance at the preliminary draft list of the delegation and saw a familiar name.

Iron face.

No wonder the little emperor in the Red Pavilion said that he had already found a place for this special envoy.

Following the delegation eastward and leaving Da Chu is indeed a good way to deal with the situation.

"This matter... is probably like this."

The young imperial teacher gathered his sleeves and placed them on his knees, and said sincerely: "If you feel that the Eastern Tour Mission needs to be changed, you can draw up this list yourself."

"If you think this matter is serious and you don't want to get involved, you can withdraw."

"If you still need some time to think about it, you can go back and think about it slowly..."

Halfway through.

"No need to think about it."

Xie Xuanyi put the list away and put it inside his lapel. He raised his head and said calmly, "I accept this."

He owes Chen Jingxuan a favor.

Do not……

What you owe is more than just a favor.
From Yuzhu Town until now, Chen Jingxuan has helped me countless times.

The hardest debt to repay in the world is the debt of favor.

As long as Chen Jingxuan opened his mouth, Xie Xuanyi could not refuse.

Xie Xuanyi's ready agreement made Chen Jingxuan feel a little at a loss.

The young national teacher had a complicated look on his face. He sighed and patiently reminded, "The journey to the east is not as simple as you think. There have been many frictions on the Chuli border in recent years. This time, the Buddhist sect crossed the river to the west with the intention of establishing its authority. I heard that the Buddhist disciple is only at the Cave Heaven Realm, but his strength is far beyond his peers... Many people believe that this Buddhist disciple is the reincarnation of a high monk who achieved enlightenment in his previous life. Due to the huge gap, Fangyuanfang has separated him from other young geniuses and does not consider them together."

"So...you might as well go back and think about it carefully."

The meaning of Chen Jingxuan's words is very clear.

Xie Xuanyi knew.

He wanted to take over himself, but he was also worried that the matter might be dangerous.

"What is there to think about?"

Xie Xuanyi's expression was as calm as before, and he said calmly: "He reincarnates in his world, and I practice my law. If you want to fight, then fight."

Is that Buddhist very great?

But as long as it is the Cave Heaven Realm, it is nothing great.

"There is no need to mention the Eastern Tour again."

Xie Xuanyi said: "There is one thing I need to remind you of."

"You want to talk about the Southern Border Demon Extermination?"

Chen Jingxuan had already guessed what Xie Xuanyi was going to say.

"Eradication of demons in the southern border is no small matter. Lu Yu's true strength is far beyond your imagination." On the way back to Chen Mansion from the northern suburbs, Xie Xuanyi carefully sorted out the secret report from Dayue Kingdom in his mind, and then made it into a soul tablet.

What he was waiting for was to meet Chen Jingxuan.

Now is the perfect time to deliver this secret report to the young national teacher.

Chen Jingxuan took the soul tablet and looked at it carefully for a long time.

"The battle between Wu Zexian and Peacock Great Venerable... was driven by Lu Yuzhen's manipulation."

Chen Jingxuan frowned and asked, "He can intervene in the battle between the gods and humans, are you sure?"

"I saw it with my own eyes."

Xie Xuanyi said word by word: "The Holy Queen wants the young emperor to lead the exorcism of demons. She has ulterior motives."

"Lu Yuzhen is at least at the Yang God Realm, and this has been anticipated. The outcome of the Southern Border Demon Suppression is unpredictable, and I have a rough idea of this matter."

Chen Jingxuan sighed softly and said, "It's just that the paper man said there is no mountain gate at all... Who can guess?"

Although he is a sky monitor.

But we can't predict everything.

And Lu Yu is really an extremely special existence.

In the past ten years, the Paper Man Sect has flourished and gradually dominated the southern border. Chen Jingxuan, who was in charge of the Dachu Imperial City, naturally had the idea of investigating. He once stepped into the "Huanyuan Instrument" and was ready to pay a corresponding price to try to find out the cause and effect of this Southern Border Taoist master, but just by getting a little closer, Chen Jingxuan felt the huge karma attached to Lu Yuzhen... If he fiddled with it recklessly, it would definitely cause a violent backlash.

The matter was therefore dropped.

"Fortunately... there is still some time to wipe out the demons in Southern Xinjiang."

Chen Jingxuan quickly calmed down, sorting out his thoughts while slowly saying, "Some time ago, Yinshan and Tiankui Sect officially joined forces, and the three major sects in Southern Xinjiang couldn't wait to advance this war. Originally, there would be no resistance to all this..."

The Green Falcon envoy was once the hub between Southern Xinjiang and Da Chu.

But after the mission of the Xuanshui Competition, Qing Falcon was disabled and his position was replaced by "Cang Mi".

After all, Qingshun has been doing this work for a long time, and Special Envoy Cangmi is new here, so it is inevitable that he needs some time to get familiar with the job.

Many things need to be handled slowly.

"From this perspective, the three major sects need to re-establish contact with the Da Chu royal family. If they want to advance the war against demons, they need to show enough loyalty and sincerity..."

Xie Xuanyi hesitated and spoke.

"Yes."

Chen Jingxuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "The bookstore just happened to intercept a piece of news a few days ago, saying that not long ago, a group of evil cultivators, about a dozen people, whose cultivation level was not very high, passed the southern border safely and were heading towards the imperial city."

Xie Xuanyi was well aware of the border defense of Da Chu.

Once it is strictly prohibited.

Not to mention the evil cultivators, even a flying bird cannot cross it.

"How dare Southern Xinjiang send an evil cultivator to come to the Imperial City to keep an appointment?"

Hearing this, Xie Xuanyi had already roughly guessed the purpose of this group of people.

Now, the three major sects in Southern Xinjiang have made up their minds to eradicate the Paper Man Sect.

They can only rely on the Da Chu royal family.

However, Renshou Palace was in seclusion, and the connection between the royal family and the three major clans was suddenly cut off... They couldn't wait forever.

"Are these people meeting Yuan Jimo?"

Xie Xuanyi had a vague idea in his mind.

"should be."

Chen Jingxuan spoke in a deep voice, saying solemnly: "The border guards were able to let them pass, which means they have a sufficient pass document, which was probably given by Cang Mi. Now that the Renshou Palace is closed, the only one who can receive this group of people is Yuan Jimo from the Imperial City Department."

These people were most likely envoys sent by the three major sects to discuss matters related to exorcising demons.

Xie Xuanyi tapped the table with his fingertips and asked slowly, "Who among this group of people has the highest level of cultivation?"

"The secret report from the Black Scale Guards said that the highest level was probably half a step into the Yin God Realm, and it is very likely that they have condensed a Dao Principle power close to perfection."

Chen Jingxuan responded subconsciously: "The realm of these people cannot be too low, nor too high. After all, those 'big ghosts' from the three major sects want to facilitate the transaction, but they are unwilling to show up easily."

This is the Da Chu Imperial City.

Not to mention the evil cultivators who cannot stand the light of day.

Even a Yang God who has attained enlightenment would have to worry about the formation mechanisms of the Da Chu Imperial City. If the Da Chu royal family sets up a trap here, even if the gods come, they will probably be in trouble.

The three major clans wanted to cooperate with the Da Chu royal family and were willing to bow down and even serve as dogs.

But he was unwilling to attend the meeting in person.

But this would be sending your head to the guillotine of the Da Chu royal family——

"Half-step to Yin God Realm..."

"good very good……"

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes, continued tapping the table, and asked seriously, "How many people are there in total?"

"There are probably three of you, and you may be hiding an unknown pseudo-Yin God Realm. Mr. Xie, what do you want to do?"

Chen Jingxuan's expression became serious.

In fact, from the moment Xie Xuanyi asked about his realm, he had vaguely guessed what this guy was going to do.

"Of course it's murder."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "Some things are not convenient for you to deal with, so I will do it."

"I'm going to kill all of these people."
