Chapter 75 The Surprise Brought by Xiao Linzi
Palace, study.
On the desk was an open book titled "Dayu Holy Land: Buddhism".
The book "Holy Land of Dayu: Buddhism" introduces the holy land for Buddhist practice in Dayu.
As one of the four major cultivation systems, Buddhism is widely spread and several temples can be found in almost every county.
The entire Dayu is said to have 3,600 temples.
In fact, the three thousand six hundred temples is just a figurative number.
The actual number is far more than three thousand six.
Among the 3,600 temples, only four can be called holy places of Buddhism, which is much less than the seven Taoist sects.
The White Horse Temple, the Great Zen Temple, the Vajra Temple and the Great Leiyin Temple, these four temples are the holy places of Buddhism.
More than 90% of the Buddhist practitioners in the upper three realms come from these four major temples.
As for other Buddhist temples, they were basically built by the disciples of these four temples.
Zhou Haochen flipped through "The Holy Land of Dayu: Buddhism" and carefully compared it with the black swastika cast by the masked man.
But found nothing!
The pitch-black swastika cast by the masked man has nothing to do with the inheritance of the four major temples.
His footsteps were shrouded in a mist and could not be seen clearly.
After closing the book, Zhou Haochen let out a long breath and rubbed his temple.
"Trouble!"
"It's fine to investigate the White Lotus Sect, but a masked man suddenly appeared with unknown origins."
"This masked man is most likely a traitor colluding with the White Lotus Sect."
Zhou Haochen was taking stock of the Buddhist monks in the Dayu court in his mind.
But once I take stock, it becomes even more of a headache.
Because Buddhism emphasizes saving all people and is not keen on being an official, there are very few Buddhist monks in the court of Dayu.
There is not even a single Buddhist practitioner in the upper three realms.
“I just hope I can torture Zhong Yunhu to extract valuable clues.” Zhou Haochen murmured.
There must be a lot of valuable clues in Zhong Yunhu's mind.
Otherwise, why would the masked man kill people to silence them?
But the White Lotus Sect has always been tough and difficult to torture.
Qin Qiulan brought a bowl of ginseng soup and walked in gracefully.
"Your Highness, drink the ginseng soup!"
After taking a sip of ginseng soup, Zhou Haochen felt much more comfortable due to the warm feeling, as if he was soaking in a hot spring.
Then, Qin Qiulan said softly.
"Your Highness, Xiao Linzi wants to see you for something."
"Xiao Linzi?" Zhou Haochen was stunned for a moment, but still summoned Xiao Linzi.
After Xiao Linzi came in, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou Haochen with a very respectful attitude.
"Xiao Linzi, get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Xiao Linzi, why do you want to see me?"
"Your Highness, I have obtained two items. Please take a look at them."
When Xiao Linzi said this, Zhou Haochen immediately perked up.
Xiao Linzi possesses a spiritual body that can sense all kinds of treasures, and most of the things that can make him sensitive are treasures.
"Send it up!"
Qin Qiulan presented the treasures that Xiao Linzi brought.
There are two treasures in total.
One is a Buddhist scripture and the other is a Buddha statue.
"Your Highness, this is the most common copy of the Diamond Sutra in the market." Qin Qiulan flipped through it and whispered in Zhou Haochen's ear.
Qin Qiulan didn't notice anything, so Zhou Haochen was not surprised.
If it could be seen through at a glance, how could it be the turn of Xiao Linzi, a spirit body full of treasures?
Zhou Haochen touched the cover of the Diamond Sutra with his fingertips. In his sea of consciousness, the Bagua diagram moved strangely and a hexagram emerged.
[Sanyin Xuansu Gong: A magical skill created by the eunuch who held the seal of the previous dynasty. This is a quick method to achieve success. The speed of cultivation is extremely fast. However, if you want to practice this skill, you must castrate yourself first. It is hidden in the interlayer of the seventh page of the Diamond Sutra.]
Is this the Dayu version of the Sunflower Manual?
The corner of Zhou Haochen's mouth twitched slightly. This martial art is really suitable for Xiao Linzi.
I turned the pages of the Diamond Sutra with my fingertips, and when I turned to the seventh page, I really noticed something was wrong.
Page seven is slightly thicker than the other pages.
If Zhou Haochen had not known in advance that there was a layer on the seventh page and felt it carefully, he would never have been able to feel it.
After all, there is only a slight difference. Even if others notice it, most of them will think that it is caused by poor workmanship and poor quality of the paper.
Zhou Haochen tore the interlayer apart by rubbing it gently with his fingers.
"Your Highness, there is a mezzanine here!" Qin Qiulan exclaimed. The surprise in her beautiful eyes was so strong that it seemed like a trickle of water that was about to flow out.
"Auntie Qing, help me see what's in the mezzanine," Qin Qiulan said after a quick look.
"Your Highness, it is a martial art called Sanyin Xuansu Gong, but this martial art..."
"It seems to be specially trained for eunuchs."
"Xiao Linzi, the Three Yin Mysterious Su Gong is now awarded to you."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Xiao Linzi took over the skills excitedly, his heart filled with gratitude.
However, Zhou Haochen felt like he was stealing the credit.
Even without me, Xiao Linzi would most likely be able to find the Sanyin Xuansu Gong in the mezzanine by himself.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Haochen picked up the Buddha statue again.
This wooden Buddha statue wears a crown and has a solemn face. He holds a jewel in his left hand and a staff in his right hand, and sits on a thousand-petal blue lotus.
Zhou Haochen took a glance through the black satin and recognized the Buddha statue as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
[Yaksha Asking the Soul: One of the fragments of the Nine Nether Prison Visualization Method, it is a supporting magical power of the Yaksha Chapter. It can only be mastered after practicing the Yaksha Chapter. The practice of Yaksha Asking the Soul requires the Yaksha ghost as the initiator. After mastering it, it can devour souls and check information. The effect is extremely overbearing and can ignore the restrictions in the soul. The effect is far better than ordinary soul searching. It is hidden in the blue lotus platform of the Buddha statue. ]
Seeing the hexagram in his mind, Zhou Haochen showed a hint of doubt in his eyes.
It turned out to be one of the fragments of the Nine Nether Prison Visualization.
And it must be practiced in conjunction with the Yaksha Chapter.
An idea suddenly came to Zhou Haochen's mind.
What a coincidence!
It's like it was delivered to your door.
Zhou Haochen's fingertips gently stroked the green lotus platform where Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was sitting, and then he exerted force suddenly.
A piece of black paper fell out from the broken green lotus platform.
"Your Highness, this is another technique!"
Qin Qiulan caught the black paper and exclaimed.
There was something wrong when he looked at Xiao Linzi.
Is this little eunuch God’s illegitimate son?
There is a mystery behind where the two treasures came from.
However, it seems that Your Highness is still lucky.
Even if Xiao Linzi got the treasure, he still needed the help of His Highness.
Qin Qiulan thought secretly in his heart.
Zhou Haochen accepted the secret book of Yaksha Questioning Soul and said lightly.
"Xiao Linzi has made great contributions by offering treasures, and I will reward you with 10,000 taels of
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Xiao Linzi knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou Haochen.
Ten thousand taels was enough for his parents, brothers and sisters to be wealthy for life.
"In addition, give Xiao Linzi another five thousand taels."
"Xiao Linzi, this money is for you to go to the palace to make connections and get information."
"If there is any important news in the palace, send it to the palace immediately."
When Xiao Linzi heard Zhou Haochen's instructions, he showed an excited expression.
"I will do my best to be your Highness's eyes and keep an eye on any disturbance in the palace."
Feeling Xiao Linzi's excitement, Zhou Haochen smiled secretly in his heart.
Xiao Linzi is ambitious.
This is a good thing!
Only with ambition can you have motivation.
If he was a useless person, how could he order him to do things?
Zhou Haochen asked Xiao Linzi to be his spy and keep an eye on any movement in the palace, and it was not a spur of the moment decision.
The Crown Prince, the Second Prince, the Sixth Prince and other princes who covet the throne all have spies in the palace to varying degrees.
The Thirteenth Prince in the past was a worthless person and a spy in the palace, so it was better not to have him.
Now that he was beginning to emerge, it was inevitable that he would catch the attention of those who had ulterior motives, which forced Zhou Haochen to have his own intelligence network.
The imperial palace is naturally the top priority.
You need to have confidants to help you keep an eye on any movement in the palace.
Xiao Linzi received the reward, took the silver and returned to the palace.
Zhou Haochen sat alone in the study, consulting on the secret method of Yaksha Questioning the Soul.
His current condition is sufficient for practicing the secret technique of Yaksha Questioning the Soul.
Only...
He needs a Yaksha ghost to help him practice!
As for the origin of the Yaksha ghost, perhaps... I have to hope to enter the Nine Netherworld next time.
