Although Dazhi Bodhisattva experienced two failures, he was not completely without advantages.
The advantages are also very obvious.
The advantage is that this time he is taking action in the Western Region, on the land he controls.
Mahayana Buddhism is still a foreign thing to the current Buddhist countries in the Western Regions.
Theravada Buddhism is the core concept that controls this place.
It is impossible for Mahayana Buddhism to gain so much support here. If Bodhisattva Dazhi wants to create difficulties for Qingyuan and others here, it will be much easier to create difficulties.
After some planning, Dazhi Bodhisattva arranged a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties for Qingyuan and Liao Jingyuan.
Of course, Dazhi Bodhisattva believes that there is no need for so many hardships.
Qingyuan and Liao Jingyuan will give up and spread Mahayana Buddhism.
As long as the two of them see the shortcomings of Mahayana Buddhism, Qingyuan will turn around.
The flame of Mahayana Buddhism was completely extinguished in the Western Regions.
By then, even if Ning Chen cannot really be affected, the influence of Mahayana Buddhism can be wiped out.
For the Western Regions, it is also a very profitable business.
…
Hezhou, Baijiacheng.
Ning Chen didn't pay too much attention to the matters between Qingyuan and Liao Jingyuan.
How two people do it, and what kind of difficulties two people will encounter when doing it.
Ning Chen won't even bother.
This is the practice of the two of them. Whether they can succeed in practice is also a matter for the two of them.
What Ning Chen did was to write down as much Mahayana Buddhism as possible.
Because after having the experience of the first "Paraparamita Heart Sutra", it will be much easier to write some subsequent sutras.
All you need to do is mobilize Haoran's righteousness and then write it down.
Ning Chen's side was writing scriptures in full swing, and Feng Jing's side was under Wu Zhao's order.
The construction of Daleiyin Temple is also in full swing.
With the full promotion of the Ministry of Industry, Daleiyin Temple can definitely be completed before the summer of the following year.
This newly built Leiyin Temple is impressive both in terms of specifications and scale.
They are far superior to Leiyin Temple in the Western Regions.
The Wu Dynasty has a vast territory and rich resources, so it is very easy to find a geomantic treasure land.
As for the money and food needed, this is not a problem at all for the current Wu Dynasty.
Whether it is money or food, the Wu Dynasty is now very well prepared.
If we were talking about the past, the Wu Dynasty would not have dared to even think about building a Great Leiyin Temple.
But now for the Wu Dynasty, if it is a problem that money can solve, then it is really not a problem.
In addition, there is sufficient food, and the Ministry of Industry can also hire more civilian workers to do work.
The projects before the Ministry of Industry were not fast, mainly because of the lack of civilian labor.
The lack of civilians is partly due to lack of money, and partly due to lack of food.
When the peasants come, we can't deny them food.
But after this first bumper harvest, the granary of the Wu Dynasty was really extra full.
The Ministry of Revenue has even issued a memorial to build more granaries.
Wu Zhao has also officially given his approval and ordered to announce plans to build twice as many granaries.
…
A month has passed quietly, and Ning Chen has completed two Buddhist scriptures, the "Huayan Sutra" and the "Lotus Sutra".
These two scriptures also cost Ning Chen more than 20,000 reputation points.
Fortunately, after two waves of betting, Ning Chen now has enough reputation points.
Otherwise, the matter of Mahayana Buddhist sutras can really only be put aside for a while.
It was autumn when Ning Chen first came to Hezhou, and it was already early winter when the war ceased.
It is already the twelfth lunar month of winter.
The winter in Hezhou is much better than the winter in the north.
Winter in Hezhou still remains above freezing.
At the same time, the flowers and plants here are still open in winter.
This is a completely new experience for the four little girls.
Because the battle between Wu Dynasty and the Western Regions was not over yet, Mu Die and Zhao Tuo did not leave.
The two of them are now under Ning Chen's command, even for the time being.
After finishing another page of scripture, Ning Chen stretched out his waist and came to the courtyard.
Looking at the spring scenery in the garden, Ning Chen also felt particularly comfortable.
Four little girls were catching butterflies in the yard.
It is definitely a very magical thing for the four little girls to see butterflies in the coldest month of winter.
Mu Die was not in the yard, and I don't know where she went to make money.
Although Mu Die was sent by Marquis Dingguo to protect her, she obviously has a very deep obsession with making money.
So after ensuring Ning Chen's safety, she mostly makes money outside.
Moreover, Mu Die makes money no matter how big or small he is.
She also makes half a liang and one liang, and she also makes ten thousand and twenty thousand.
Fortunately, Mu Die still has a bottom line to make money, and she still won't touch those unconscionable money.
Otherwise, if nothing else, based on her current status, it would be very easy to make hundreds of thousands of taels per item.
Not to mention anything else, Mu Die can sell hundreds of thousands of taels a day just because he is a citizen of Baijia City.
After taking a look at Zheng Da who was still practicing martial arts seriously in the courtyard, Ning Chen felt that it was time to improve Zheng Da's cultivation level.
Anyway, the realm-breaking pill is cheap, only one pill costs 100 reputation points.
Moreover, it has been a long time since the last time I promoted Zheng Da’s cultivation level.
Ning Chen just waved his hand and was about to call Zheng Da, but the next moment Ning Chen fell straight back.
"boom!"
Ning Chen's head hit the ground hard.
The stone slabs on the ground were smashed into pieces by Ning Chen.
With Ning Chen's martial arts body, it was impossible to cause any harm to Ning Chen's physical body if he fell down straight like this.
Even though it was so sudden, it still startled Zheng Da and the four little girls who were catching butterflies in the yard.
The four little girls and Zheng Da quickly gathered around.
It was found that Ning Chen's breathing was very stable and there were no external injuries on his body.
Zheng Da also gave his own judgment.
Ning Chen is asleep.
Among the five of them, Zheng Da was the only practitioner, so Zheng Da said that Ning Chen was asleep and his body was fine. The four little girls could only believe it for the time being.
First, Zheng Da sent the sleeping Ning Chen back to the room, and then Chunhua, the oldest, also told Xia Zhu to go to Baijia Academy to find someone to check on Ning Chen's condition.
At the same time, Dongmei was asked to find Mu Die and come back.
She and Qiuxiang stayed at home to take care of Ning Chen.
Zheng Da was sent to guard the door. At the same time, he told Zheng Da that no matter who came to visit, Ning Chen would not see any visitors today.
Everyone immediately took action.
Xia Zhu trotted all the way to Baijia Academy.
Everyone knows Ning Chen's four personal girls.
So without any notification, Xia Zhu directly found Liu Zhongzhi.
Liu Zhongzhi saw Xia Zhu and asked, "Is it the head of the hospital who is looking for me?"
Xia Zhu quickly explained: "Mr. Liu, your Excellency suddenly fainted just now. Zheng Da did a brief check and said that Your Excellency was asleep. But we are not at ease, so we want to ask Mr. Liu to go over and check."
Liu Zhongzhi heard Xia Zhu's words and did not dare to delay at all. He quickly got up and followed Xia Zhu to Ning Chen's Duke's Mansion.
When Dongmei came to Mu Die, she encountered a little problem.
Mu Die told Dongmei a few places that he would often go to.
But Mu Die has some skills, and he can reach the next place in no time.
Dongmei can only rely on two legs.
So it took half an hour to find Mu Die doing business with someone in a restaurant.
After hearing that Ning Chen was in trouble, Mu Die stopped doing business.
Mu Die's main mission is to protect Ning Chen.
The reason why she can do business here safely is because Ning Chen is safe.
Now that something happened to Ning Chen, she must be to blame.
Pulling Dongmei directly, the two of them returned to Ning Chen's mansion in a whoosh.
When the two of them came back, Liu Zhongzhi had already checked Ning Chen's condition.
Seeing Mu Die coming back, Liu Zhongzhi also stepped aside and let Mu Die come and check.
Liu Zhongzhi still knew about Mu Die's cultivation level.
He is definitely much better than a Confucian scholar like himself.
Mu Die went over and probed into Ning Chen's body with his blood energy. He walked around Ning Chen's body and found no problems.
Then Mu Die checked Ning Chen's breathing and so on.
She came to the same conclusion as Zheng Da.
Ning Chen simply fell asleep.
But this doesn't make sense.
If Ning Chen was just asleep, he should have woken up long ago after he and Liu Zhongzhi checked him like this.
Ning Chen is not a new practitioner. Ning Chen is a top fourth-grade master who is comparable to the third-grade.
After checking like this with Liu Zhongzhi, even if Ning Chen is not a top-level fourth-level practitioner, but is only a fifth- or sixth-level practitioner, he should have woken up by now.
There is no sign of waking up at all now, which really speaks volumes.
"Should we ask Taoist Master Yun Xuanzi to come over and check it out?" Liu Zhongzhi suggested to Mu Die.
Mu Die himself couldn't find anything, and Liu Zhongzhi couldn't find anything either.
It is most appropriate to invite Yun Xuanzi over at this time.
So Mu Die also nodded directly and said: "Okay!"
Yun Xuanzi was invited by Liu Zhongzhi personally.
Liu Zhongzhi left quickly and came back quickly.
Yun Xuanzi came to Ning Chen's bed and inspected it carefully.
I found that Ning Chen was indeed asleep.
But Yun Xuanzi also discovered something different.
That is, although Ning Chen fell asleep, Ning Chen's soul seemed to be imprisoned by something.
At the same time, Ning Chen's soul fluctuated more violently than when he was awake, as if his soul was undergoing some kind of attack.
The soul was directly attacked, and this matter was really very serious.
But what the two of them couldn't understand was how could Ning Chen's soul be attacked.
Not to mention Ning Chen's own cultivation, even Ning Chen himself is also a person favored by luck.
Being blessed with luck, if you want to use this way of sleeping to attack Ning Chen's soul, you have to bear a lot of karma.
Even if someone really dares to do this, his ability must first reach a certain level.
Judging from Ning Chen's current strength, if you want to attack Ning Chen in his sleep, you must be at least the second level.
But the second grade is really not radish and cabbage.
The second rank who currently has a grudge against Ning Chen is mainly the Western Region Buddhism.
The Bodhisattvas of Buddhism in the Western Regions were all under the supervision of the Wu Dynasty.
If the Bodhisattva on their side had any unusual movements, Wu Chao should be able to notice it immediately.
"Taoist Master, is there any way to help Ning Chen?" Mu Die asked Yun Xuanzi directly.
Yun Xuanzi shook his head and said: "We have no choice but to rely on external help to get to the head of Ning Yuan.
If you force yourself to help, it may be counterproductive.
At that time, instead of helping, it will directly kill the head of Ningyuan."
"What we can do now is to protect the body of the head of Ningyuan."
After a pause, Yun Xuanzi said: "Perhaps Dingguohou will have some ideas. You can contact some Dingguohou to see if there is anything that Dingguohou can do to help the head of Ningyuan."
Mu Die now didn't care whether he would be scolded by Marquis Dingguo.
He immediately contacted Marquis Dingguo and told Marquis Dingguo about the matter.
"Did you notice any specific abnormalities at that time?" Marquis Dingguo asked Mu Die.
Seeing that Mu Die couldn't avoid this problem, he could only explain that he was not with Ning Chen at that time.
"Why did I ask you to go?" Marquis Dingguo was obviously angry at Mu Die.
No matter how Mu Die behaves, Marquis Dingguo can ignore it.
But this was the task he gave to Mu Die.
Especially given how important Ning Chen is to Wu Dynasty now, there is no room for error.
But Mu Die was no longer by Ning Chen's side.
"Master Hou, I was wrong." Mu Die also stopped smiling and said with a low expression.
Marquis Dingguo didn't want to hear Mu Die tell her whether she was wrong or right.
The main thing is that he needs to understand the current specific situation.
"I will ask Xiao Bai to assist you. You ask Yun Xuanzi to help protect Ning Chen's body first. Then ask Taoist Yun Xuanzi to carefully check whether there are any clues left in the yard."
"If there are no clues in the yard, you can search carefully in Baijia City."
"If they want to attack Ning Chen under such circumstances, they must enter Baijia City."
"If the distance is too far, you will definitely be discovered."
"So the people who attacked Ning Chen must still be in Baijia City now."
"Mainly checking some people who may be related to the Western Regions."
After Marquis Dingguo gave his instructions, Mu Die remembered them carefully.
"When will Senior Sister Bai arrive?" Mu Die asked.
"I have asked Xiaobai to set off. We can reach Hezhou in half a day. You can investigate on your own first, but be sure not to alert the enemy." Marquis Dingguo said to Mu Die seriously.
"Yes, Lord Marquis, I understand." Mu Die answered very solemnly.
After ending the contact with Marquis Dingguo, Mu Die also told Yun Xuanzi about Marquis Dingguo's request.
Protecting Ning Chen's body was just a piece of cake for Yun Xuanzi.
But it's very difficult to find out the truth behind Ning Chen's sleep.
Because Yun Xuanzi was not at the scene, it was really difficult to investigate.
