Chapter 275: Self-cultivation of merit and Buddhism’s luck [Please subscribe and vote]
Xu Maogong was very nervous at this time.
It was about his own future and his own destiny, so he had to be nervous.
"Lord Heavenly King, is there any way to resolve this?"
"There are still ways, but whether this matter is big or small, I don't know if you dare to do it."
Xu Maogong said with serious eyes: "As long as there is a chance to become an immortal in the next life, and the impact in this life can be minimized, I will not hesitate to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire!"
Su Chen helped him up and comforted him: "Okay, if you have this determination, I will know it well!"
He poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then said slowly: "The Duke felt that in this dream, the Jade Emperor asked to kill the dragon. Do you know why?!"
Xu Maogong was stunned for a moment, then said: "I just know that the Dragon King of the Weihe River made a big mistake, but I don't know what the specific mistake was, what he did, and why he wanted to be beheaded."
Su Chen smiled and said: "I don't know, that's the biggest problem. Because you have been involved in an earth-shattering event."
Xu Maogong was shocked and said in horror: "What do you mean by this, Lord Heavenly King? I am a coward, please don't scare me!"
His legs were so frightened that he was about to kneel down again.
Xu Maogong, who could usually stand alone on the battlefield and be invincible to all others, was almost torn apart because of Su Chen's words.
Su Chen said: "Do I need to joke with you? It's just you, you don't know anything!"
thump!
Xu Maogong Li Ji knelt down and kowtowed, "Master Heavenly King, please tell me, please help me resolve it. If you are ordered to do so in the future, I will not hesitate to die!"
Su Chen said: "Oh, that's all, this is a secret from heaven, I shouldn't have told you, but I can't bear for you to ruin your fate."
"Get up, I don't like people kneeling down to speak."
Xu Maogong got up quickly, but he still bowed and was very humble.
Even when he faced Li Yuan and Li Shimin, he always maintained the attitude of a master and was very proud of himself!
but.
Now facing Su Chen, he didn't have any pride at all, and he didn't have any gestures to show off.
There is only humility and humility.
Su Chen said: "The Dragon King of Weihe River indeed violated the rules of heaven, because he almost killed Guanyin Bodhisattva!"
thump!
Xu Maogong was so frightened that his feet went weak and he knelt down again.
His eyes widened, his face full of shock.
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is dead?!"
"The Dragon King of the Weihe River is so powerful? It's over. If that's the case, wouldn't it be certain that I would die if I killed him?!"
Xu Maogong was trembling. He was a Taoist and had some understanding of gods and Buddhas.
Guanyin's status is very high, which proves that her strength is extremely high.
But they all died in the hands of the Dragon King of the Weihe River. How powerful the Dragon King of the Weihe River must be!
Can he really become an immortal by killing the Dragon King of Weihe?!
Even if it works, I'm afraid I won't die on the spot. Is it really worth it?!
Su Chen said: "As I said, it's almost. You don't need to know the specific reasons. You just need to know that this matter involves Buddhism."
"Being from Buddhism, Heaven, and the Dragon Clan, you know how much luck it takes to kill the Dragon King!"
Xu Maogong was horrified and horrified.
To be involved in so many things, then he is really bound to die!
"Are you going to give up?"
"Although there is an afterlife, I haven't enjoyed enough in this life!"
Xu Maogong gritted his teeth and was very unwilling.
Naturally, Su Chen would not let him give up, otherwise how would he get the reward? Not to mention the Five Elements Kirin, even the five thousand years of mana and Taoism would be gone!
"Give up? No need to."
Su Chen said: "I am here, so naturally there is a way to resolve it."
thump!
Xu Maogong knelt down again and kowtowed.
"Please, Lord Heavenly King, rescue me!"
"Get up!"
Su Chen helped him up and said: "The Jade Emperor asked you to kill the Dragon King of the Weihe River because he actually took a fancy to your merits and evil aura, and thought you could offset the cause and effect of killing the Dragon King!"
Xu Maogong's eyes flickered, and he felt completely unsure of himself.
Su Chen continued: "However, at present, you have received the lottery, which proves that you are not qualified enough. And if you want this opportunity, then you can only accumulate merit and receive luck!"
Xu Maogong seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said quickly: "I know how to accumulate merit, but how to borrow luck?!"
Su Chen smiled and said: "You may not know how to accumulate merit. Your current merit is not enough to support you to enjoy your old age in this life. As for borrowing luck, of course you know how to borrow it from someone you can support.
Being able to live in it and borrow it is the key."
Xu Maogong nodded in agreement and said quickly: "Please give me your advice, Lord Heavenly King."
Su Chen had already made a calculation and said: "You have to understand that merit is accumulated. What you cultivate is to become an immortal in the next life. How much good luck does that require?"
"So, your merits in this life are not enough. I estimate that if all your wealth is dispersed and more than a million people live, you can barely pass."
hiss.
Live a million people?!
Xu Maogong's eyes widened in disbelief.
The whole of Chang'an only had three million people, and in the entire Tang Dynasty, there was no other city with a population of one million.
It would be extremely difficult and almost impossible to let him live for millions of people.
Xu Maogong was shocked and said: "Master Heavenly King, when will I be able to accumulate the merit of living a million lives?!"
He said with a mournful face: "Such merit and virtue are hard to come by. I don't even know where to start."
Su Chen said: "Your Majesty has newly settled in Mobei, and will capture Goguryeo in a few days. There will definitely be a final massacre, with countless casualties. If you can subdue the enemy's troops without fighting, persuade Goguryeo to surrender, or give up resistance, but
Millions of people alive.”
Then he added: "The floods in the south of the Yangtze River affected millions of people. If it can be handled properly, millions of people can survive. There is a famine in the south now. If it is handled properly, millions of people can survive. There are still many opportunities, and they are not rare.
, it depends on whether you have the ability and determination."
Xu Maogong blinked. He didn't expect that there would be so many opportunities.
However, what Su Chen said makes sense.
Since these are all opportunities, it depends on whether he can seize them. However, Xu Maogong feels that the probability of him completing them is too low.
Because, although he can do calculations, he is a military commander after all, not a civil servant. He cannot solve the floods in the south of the Yangtze River and the famine in the south.
It is even more difficult to persuade Goguryeo to surrender, because he was one of the commanders in the attack on Goguryeo and killed hundreds of thousands of others. Now, if he tries to persuade Goguryeo to surrender, he will definitely be rejected.
He doesn't have the patience to waste it anymore.
Xu Maogong seemed unable to seize the three opportunities.
Xu Maogong grimaced, "King of Heaven, my ability is limited. These three opportunities are like the bright moon, out of reach."
Su Chen shook his head, "I gave you a chance, but you're useless."
Then he said: "Okay, if you seize these opportunities, you will be prosperous and wealthy for the rest of your life. Since you can't seize them, then spread your wealth and gather virtue."
Xu Maogong quickly asked, "How to disperse wealth and gather virtue?"
Su Chen said: "The soldiers in the north are suffering from the cold, and many of them have not returned home for a long time. If you spend all your wealth to comfort them, you can gain people's hearts, make them more effective in fighting, and also save some people."
"When there was a famine in the south, you spent all your wealth to buy rice, tried your best to pass out, provided free disaster relief, and took the lead in disaster relief, which is also a merit; when there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, you donated money and materials, and took the lead in disaster relief, which is also a merit. Three points of merit accumulation
, which is quite impressive.”
Xu Maogong nodded deeply and expressed his gratitude.
Su Chen told him not to thank him in a hurry, "Any of these things will cause you to lose all your wealth. From now on, you have to tighten your belt and live a good life. You have to think about it."
Xu Maogong hesitated for a moment, but in order to become an immortal and start well and finish well, he nodded resolutely and said: "I have no obligation to refuse."
Su Chen nodded. In fact, Xu Maogong could choose to persuade Goguryeo to surrender. At this time, Goguryeo could no longer hold on. If he went, the success would be very high.
but.
Su Chen didn't remind him because he wanted to use Xu Maogong's influence, ability and financial resources to solve several natural disasters that Datang was encountering now.
Xu Maogong is a new aristocratic family with huge power. If he takes the lead, it will be much easier to solve these famines.
After all, Xu Maogong spared no effort to deal with it, and he would work harder than the emperor in arranging it.
Xu Maogong said again: "Merits and virtues are enough, but where do we start with borrowing luck?"
Su Chen said: "You are the Dragon King of Weihe who was killed by the Buddhist sect. You can borrow luck from the Buddhist sect."
Borrow luck from Buddhism?
Xu Maogong was confused.
Buddhism is at its peak, and Maitreya Buddha appeared not long ago. How can we take advantage of this good fortune?
Su Chen explained: "Buddhism is extremely prosperous now, especially today's Shaoqing Temple has a large number of talented people, and all the monks in the world are among them. If you can borrow the luck of Buddhism, you can kill the Dragon King."
"As for how to borrow luck, haha, if you can hold the Buddhist treasure in your hand, it will naturally be protected by Buddha's luck, and all evil will not invade."
Xu Maogong breathed heavily and said, "What is the most precious treasure of Buddhism?"
Su Chen said: "What the monks in Shaoqing Temple value most, what is the most precious thing, you can control this yourself."
Xu Maogong was thoughtful, then his eyes were firm, and he seemed to have thought of something, and he quickly thanked him profusely and left.
He had to get these things done quickly, otherwise he would cry to death if Wei Zheng got there first!
Su Chen looked at Xu Maogong's leaving figure and smiled.
It was not that he deliberately deceived Mr. Xu Maogong, but in fact it was exactly what he said. To borrow money, you need to take the most important things of the person you are borrowing from.
However, he originally suggested that Xu Maogong borrow Wei Zheng's luck. If one person is not enough, he can borrow all the people from Lingyan Pavilion. It will always be no problem.
but.
Finally, he wanted to trick Buddhism.
Adding obstacles to Buddhism’s journey to the west.
Buzz!
If Xu Maogong goes well, Su Chen will gain five thousand years of mana.
At this time, the body's cultivation level is 258,000 years of mana and power, which can be said to be overwhelming.
Su Chen stayed at the Taoist temple in a relaxed mood and wandered around, looking forward to when and how Xu Maogong could handle the matter.
The other side.
After Xu Maogong left, he went directly to the Daming Palace banquet.
At this time, it was the end of the Buddhist meeting and the time when the emperor hosted a banquet for Buddhist eminences and ministers.
Xu Maogong went to block Su Chen and did not participate, but he came at this time.
Li Shimin saw Xu Maogong and greeted him with a smile: "Maogong, I was looking for you just now. Come, have a drink..."
The words are not finished yet.
Xu Maogong grabbed the wine glass offered by the eunuch and smashed it to the ground in front of everyone.
The entire Daming Palace banquet hall fell silent for an instant.
