Chapter 277: Awesome and righteous
When Wang Anshi woke up from his state of enlightenment, he was shocked to find that it was already getting late.
"Gu..."
He suddenly felt a little hungry and called out subconsciously: "Uncle Fu~Uncle Fu!"
Uncle Fu is the steward of this mansion. After he rose rapidly in the official career, all the relatives who used to look down on him came to visit him, causing him great annoyance.
But he is a scholar after all, and he knows the importance of family and clan.
He doesn't have many people in his family now, but he still has quite a few members in the clan.
After a series of tests and selections, he chose several smart and capable, or honest tribesmen to come to the capital to take care of his life.
For example, the Uncle Fu he is calling now is a cousin of his. He is a loyal and honest man, and he is very efficient in his work.
"This old servant, Chen Liancang, greets Lord Wang."
Wang Anshi turned around suddenly and found an old eunuch who looked very old standing behind him.
But his own people were not here.
"It turned out to be Eunuch Chen."
Wang Anshi knew Chen Liancang, of course. He stood up and bowed, saying calmly, "I wonder if it's His Majesty who is calling on me so late at night?"
"good."
Chen Liancang's eyes were somewhat suspicious and he said in surprise, "Sir Wang, please come in. His Majesty has been waiting for a long time."
"There are several other...seniors."
"senior?"
Wang Anshi's eyes were full of suspicion, but he still followed Chen Liancang out of the palace.
The sedan chair had already been prepared, and Chen Liancang even thoughtfully prepared food for him.
"I know that Lord Wang hasn't eaten for several hours. These Liubiju cakes and osmanthus fermented glutinous rice wine are specially prepared for Lord Wang."
Wang Anshi got into the sedan chair, looked at the food in his hand and said, "Eunuch Chen, what happened? Why did His Majesty summon me to Xiaguan so late at night?"
Chen Liancang asked respectfully: "Master Wang, do you completely forget what happened?"
"what happened?"
Wang Anshi frowned slightly and quickly thought of something.
just now……
An epiphany?
He looked toward the distant and deep imperial palace in the darkness, silent.
After more than half an hour, the sedan chair finally entered the palace.
We had a smooth journey and arrived at Baiyujing.
At this moment, Wang Anshi suddenly discovered that the lights in Baiyujing were bright, and it was obvious that many people were discussing something.
"Your Majesty! Lord Wang Anshi is here!"
"come in!"
"promise!"
Wang Anshi quickly walked into the hall and spotted several people at a glance.
Needless to say, Taoist Tianxingzi and Taoist Xuanjizi have known each other for a long time.
The other stranger was actually a big man who was about eight feet tall. Could he also be a cultivator?
To his surprise, he actually found General Xu Mujun here!
Wasn’t General Xu Mujun in Xuzhou suppressing the rebellion? Why did he return to the capital so soon?
However, he did not think much about it and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, your Majesty!"
"I wonder why Your Majesty summoned me so late at night?"
Zheng Yi said, "Please stand up, my Lord. Someone, please give me a seat!"
"More Your Majesty!"
After Wang Anshi sat down, he realized that the others were all staring at him, as if there was something on his face.
He thought that some crumbs from the cakes he was eating in the sedan chair when he came here fell on his body, so he quickly lowered his head to look.
Zheng Yi said kindly, "Don't be shy, Mr. Wang. I called you here so late today because I have something to ask you."
Wang Anshi said calmly, "Your Majesty, please speak."
"Today at the hour of Xu, where are you, my dear, and what are you doing?"
Wang Anshi quickly responded and said, "Your Majesty, at the hour of Xu, I was in the palace looking at the palace from afar and seemed to have noticed that there were monks causing trouble."
"But your majesty is blessed with great fortune, and I believe you have already captured these rebellious monks."
"Good, what next?"
"after……?"
Wang Anshi recalled, his eyes slightly brightening as he said, "I personally witnessed several cultivators fighting in the sky above the Imperial Palace, and I recalled the two cultivation techniques that Your Majesty gave me, and I have been thinking about it."
"Unconsciously, I seemed to have fallen into a... very inexplicable state."
"That state... seemed to last a long time. I saw many people, traveled to many places, and witnessed many things." "But when I came to my senses, I found that only one or two hours had passed."
"Epiphany!"
Tian Xingzi immediately said: "Your Majesty, Lord Wang, this is the enlightenment that cultivators like me have been longing for!"
"The one who is suddenly enlightened is the one who sees his true nature!"
"When a cultivator is in a state of sudden enlightenment, his understanding of the technique will become more vivid, his cultivation level will improve rapidly, and it will also be of great benefit to his spiritual practice."
"It is said that there are cultivators who, in a state of sudden enlightenment, can comprehend many spells, or difficult problems in their cultivation, or certain elixir recipes, etc. in a very short period of time."
"Generally speaking, enlightenment is something that monks like us can only encounter by chance."
Tian Xingzi said admiringly: "I heard from His Majesty before that Lord Wang has spiritual roots but is unwilling to embark on the path of cultivation. I didn't expect..."
Wang Anshi said calmly: "I really haven't practiced cultivation."
"You haven't practiced? How can you have sudden enlightenment?"
Xiong Gang said carelessly: "Whether you have practiced or not, just let Xiong check it out."
"The body contains spiritual energy, that is cultivation!"
As he said this, he was about to step forward, causing Wang Anshi to frown slightly.
"Brother Xiong Gang, please wait!"
Zheng Yi immediately stopped Xiong Gang and said, "Wang Qing is an important official of the country, don't be impulsive."
"Oh~ what a hassle!"
Looking at the people present, Wang Anshi understood a little: "So, you gentlemen are all waiting for me to tell you about cultivation..."
After thinking for a while, he said, "If your majesty wants to check, then check it. I have a clear conscience."
Zheng Yi nodded and said, "As expected of you, you are the Royal Lord. You put the most important things first and serve the country and the people."
Xiong Gang chuckled and was about to take action, but he heard Zheng Yi continue, "Master Tianxingzi, thank you for your help."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xiong Gang curled his lips and sat down helplessly.
Tian Xingzi came in front of Wang Anshi, bowed and said, "Sir Wang, I'm sorry."
"Master Tianxingzi, please."
Tian Xingzi's hand turned into a sword and he pointed at Wang Anshi's dantian.
A strand of magical power immediately penetrated into Wang Anshi's body and circulated rapidly.
"Ok?"
After a few breaths, he withdrew his hand with a look of suspicion.
Xiong Gang couldn't wait to ask: "How about Tianxingzi, is there any?"
Tian Xingzi shook his head and said, "No."
"There is not even a trace of magical power fluctuation in Lord Wang's body."
"This……"
Several people looked at each other, and Tian Xingzi also looked suspicious and said: "Strange, could it be that my spirit-detecting compass made a mistake?"
Zheng Yi asked: "Don't be confused, my Lord. I will explain it to you."
"Today at 11:00 p.m., the spirit-detecting compass that Tian Xingzi received sensed a spiritual fluctuation in South City. They went to check and found that it was Wang Qing."
"However, Wang Qing was in a state of enlightenment at the time, and they did not disturb him, so only Elder Chen was left waiting at Wang Qing's house."
"I summoned Wang Qing tonight just for that slight fluctuation of spiritual energy at the hour of Xu."
"I wonder what was unusual about Wang Qing's sudden enlightenment?"
After thinking for a while, Wang Anshi said, "If you say there is something unusual, I really feel it."
"Oh?"
Zheng Yi's eyes lit up: "What's wrong?"
"The saints' books."
"Saints' scriptures?"
More than three thousand years ago, Confucian and Taoist saints were born in the Xuan Cang Realm, but they were all mortals and left behind many Confucian and Taoist classics.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang Anshi said: "When I was in the state of enlightenment, my mind was filled with the classics of the saints."
“But the words in the saints’ books at that time were as big as stars, and they had an inexplicably powerful aura surging.”
"I suddenly realized that this energy is...righteous energy!"
