It had to be said that Zuo Qianhu knew a lot of things, and he even had a rather profound disguise technique.
Nie Yuanli's appearance had changed greatly after a series of struggles. He only pitied Lord Nie's beard that he had been growing for more than ten years.
Just like that, the two of them disguised themselves and sneaked into the capital. Bianliang was the capital of a country. Although its defensive power was strong, there were many foxes and rats. It was not difficult to sneak in.
As for Miao Kong, he entered Bianliang City openly.
He was a proper monk, the kind with a certificate. Moreover, he did not commit any crimes, so of course, he went in openly.
To Miao Kong's surprise, the soldiers guarding the gate were very respectful to him, because the Imperial Advisor who held great power was also a monk.
Miao Kong had never thought that he would end up benefiting from the state preceptor.
After entering Bianliang City, Miao Kong looked around. It had to be said that it was indeed the best place in Jingdou. Bianliang City's prosperity was even better than Hangzhou City.
"Next, let's go to the so-called Great Temple of Gratitude.”
Miao Kong walked on the street. His graceful and handsome appearance, as well as his solemn temperament, attracted countless gazes. However, he turned a deaf ear to it and was only thinking about something.
With his current strength, he was not worried about facing the state preceptor head-on. In fact, he should be careful of the other party.
As for the Great Temple of Gratitude, it was a temple specially built by the emperor for the Imperial Preceptor.
It was said that more than ten years ago, the emperor was on a boat on Taiye Lake. Suddenly, a strong wind blew and a heavy rain poured down. The emperor's precious boat was in danger of capsizing.
Right at this moment, the Imperial Advisor descended from the sky on his divine dragon. With a flip of his hand, the violent wind stopped, and the torrential rain stopped as he breathed. He had saved the emperor's life.
The emperor was grateful for saving his life because he yearned for the divine abilities and methods that the Imperial Preceptor had displayed, as well as the Dao of immortality.
In short, he was eventually appointed as the Imperial Advisor and issued an edict to build the Great Temple of Gratitude as the residence of the Imperial Advisor.
Naturally, the Great Temple of Gratitude became the most prosperous and famous temple in the capital and even the entire country.
Although Miao Kong did not know what the Imperial Advisor wanted to do, judging from his attitude of needing the stability of the imperial court, he needed to at least rely on mortals, or rather, the imperial power, to achieve his goal.
And what was the greatest use of imperial power?
They represented the people of the world, or rather, they controlled the direction of the people of the world.
If he were to think about it again, Imperial Preceptor's goal should not be able to escape the wishes of the people in the world.
Wish power required faith.
Then the state preceptor was afraid that he would not give up such a ready-made base like the Great Temple of Gratitude.
"A backdoor listing…"
As Miao Kong walked towards the Great Temple of Gratitude, he pondered over the Imperial Advisor's purpose.
Obviously, the identity of the monk was the state preceptor's shell.
He needed to borrow this shell to help him collect the Wish Power of the Human Heart.
And there was no other sect in the world that was easier for people to accept and absorb faith than Buddhism.
Although Miao Kong didn't want to admit it, the Buddha's Dharma was used on the right path to persuade people to be good. However, once the path was crooked, it was the most bewitching thing.
The state preceptor was not a righteous person.
Walking all the way to the Great Temple of Gratitude, Miao Kong looked up.
"Sigh…"
Looking at the temple that was a hundred times more luxurious than Lanruo Temple, Miao Kong couldn't help but sigh softly.
It is said that Buddha is dressed in gold to respect Buddha. When people worshiped Buddha, they would first check if the temple was solemn and luxurious. Most monks wished they could carve Buddha statues out of pure gold.
"Only in this way can the world revere our Buddha.”
They said.
However, Miao Kong knew that this was nonsense.
The truly enlightened and wise ones cultivated the Buddha in their hearts, not a golden clay sculpture.
Even in the eyes of those who did not believe in Buddhism, the Buddha of these people was an existence that went against the orthodox path.
For example, the crazy monk who had eaten meat and wine, Fahai who was not of his race and had a different heart, and the round Pharaoh monk who had forgotten to practice Buddhism, worship, and recite scriptures.
These people might seem to be deviant and not in line with Buddha's true Dharma, but in reality, the more of them there were, the happier Buddha would be.
Their path might not be the right one, but they could also be stubborn, crazy, and rebellious. However, it was undeniable that they had walked their own path, which was different from the path of others.
It opened up a new world!
"Phew…"
Miao Kong let out a breath of turbid air, gathered his scattered thoughts, and slowly stepped forward.
"Buzz!"
As Miao Kong took a step forward, the dragon on his back emitted a dazzling Buddhist light. A glass-like, pure light enveloped Miao Kong.
A translucent Wheel of Merits that seemed to be made of golden crystals unfolded behind Miao Kong's head.
"I am Miao Kong, a disciple of the Golden Mountain Monastery. I am under the tutelage of Fahai Zen Master, and I have also worshiped the Tan Merit Buddha.”
Miao Kong spoke. His voice was clear and bright, but it carried a solemn and mighty meaning.
In an instant, it attracted countless eyeballs.
The pilgrims looked at the young monk with a golden wheel in his head and couldn't help but kneel and pray.
Miao Kong strode toward the Great Temple of Gratitude with his head held high. A golden lotus bloomed with every step he took.
Lotus Flower with Every Step!
Step by step, Miao Kong arrived at the steps of the Great Temple of Gratitude.
The steps were very high, making the Great Temple of Gratitude seem high and mighty.
When Miao Kong stopped, there were naturally fanatics who came over on their knees and invited Miao Kong to step on the steps.
"Amitabha."
Miao Kong didn't move. He just rubbed the man's head and said,""Buddha says that all living beings are equal. Patron, you are doing this to me.”
"Get up."
"Mage En Ci!"
People prostrated themselves in worship. The person with a body was even more tearful.
Miao Kong lowered his eyes and the lotus flower under his feet bloomed. He carried him to the square in front of the Great Temple of Gratitude.
In front of Miao Kong were four guardian statues, the so-called Four Heavenly Kings.
"Halt! Retreat!"
In a trance, four overlapping majestic voices pressed down on Miao Kong, wanting him to stop and retreat!
Miao Kong looked up at the statue in front of him. It was not the will of the Four Heavenly Kings, but the Great Temple of Gratitude had received too much incense and the statue had a divine will.
The real Four Heavenly Kings guarded the Spirited Mountain and the Southern Heavenly Gate, but the statues of the Four Heavenly Kings here regarded the Great Temple of Gratitude as the Spirited Mountain!
How rebellious!
"Namo Sarira Battle Honorable Buddha King."
As Miao Kong chanted the name of Buddha, the incomparably dangerous aura that he had felt from Sun Wukong flashed and disappeared.
The statues of the Four Heavenly Kings instantly fell silent.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, he had never been beaten up by Brother Monkey before.
"Make way."
"Kacha kacha kacha!"
As Miao Kong spoke, cracks appeared on the statues of the Four Heavenly Kings. With a cracking sound, the four majestic statues began to retreat!
For a moment, there was no longer any obstruction in front of Miao Kong, and the door of the Great Temple of Gratitude opened!
Miao Kong looked at the Great Buddha Hall not far away and the countless monks of the Great Temple of Gratitude. He spoke indifferently.
"I'm here to discuss Buddhism. Please enlighten me.”
