Chapter 822

Just as Qian Chen was lecturing his two newly accepted cheap 'disciples' in the small Buddha hall.

Outside the small Buddha hall, someone was also walking in slowly.

Qian Chen used his temporary Samsara traveler authority to send the two into Samsara and establish the Central Plains Team, also because he valued the talent of the six towns...

The atmosphere here is simple and honest, having fought fiercely against demon clans, demonic paths, and Hu people, with Han and Hu customs mixed together, truly tempering many true-transmission aptitudes and military seeds. The Earth Immortal Realm is now declining to this point, and Qian Chen also has the intention to lay down a piece.

Moreover, in the history he is familiar with, the talents who walked out of the six towns were endless. If he wants to reopen the Supreme Louguan and insert these people's forces into the Central Plains to control Northern Wei, this is also the best choice.

As the saying goes, gold corners, silver edges, and grass bellies!

These border army six towns might not be able to give the Central Plains a 'surprise' in the future, just like when the Northern Hu knocked on the gates to help the Cao clan restore the country.

Heita and Puliuru knelt honestly on the prayer mats, listening to Qian Chen chanting Buddhist scriptures. He picked a few scriptures from the Huazang World that clearly explained the methods of the Buddhist sect and the foundations of cultivation to lecture to them, which temporarily subdued these two cheap disciples.

At this moment, the curtain of the Buddha hall moved slightly.

After Qian Chen finished lecturing on one passage, he stopped and waited quietly.

The person behind the curtain laughed softly: "The little Master lectures well; many of the meanings, I have never heard before, yet they are deeply in line with Zen principles!" After saying this, an aged hand pulled back the curtain, and Old Lady Tuoba walked in, smiling, holding a small stove.

The two cheap disciples bowed hurriedly; they were considered domestic slaves of the Tuoba family.

It's just that the Xianbei nobles like the Tuoba family didn't have many rules; the so-called domestic slaves were just members of the original tribe, following their masters to draw swords and fight in wartime, and doing chores for the master's family when idle, and the Tuoba family had to take good care of them.

Usually, they weren't very awed, otherwise the two little ones wouldn't have dared to come to the Buddha hall to steal scriptures.

"Speaking of which, you two are the sons of Yuwen Gong and A-Zhong!"

"Speaking of which, you are not outsiders. You usually have some ambition, knowing to secretly come here to learn my scriptures..." Old Lady Tuoba smiled and pulled a Buddhist scripture from under her hand: "You look like you've grown up a bit. It's just that although the great laws of the Buddhist sect are good, they are methods of leaving the world. It's better for our Xianbei children to take wealth on horseback!"

"This 'Longcheng Body-Forging Technique' is the introductory method of military cultivation created by the great military demon Murong Chui of the past."

"He was what kind of hero back then; he was the first great demonic cultivator to attain the Primordial Spirit among the tribes that entered the pass, and is now the Sect Master of the Demon Sect's Weaponry Dao."

"If it weren't for the fact that he committed too many sins after entering the pass, causing dissatisfaction within the Daoist, Buddhist, and even the Demon sects themselves, leading to our Tuoba family and the Cao clan joining forces, with six Primordial Spirit True Immortals besieging him at Longcheng, and then slaughtering all his disciples and subordinates at Canhe Slope, cutting off the inheritance of the Murong tribe for a generation. The previous Supreme Louguan master even burned his Yang Spirit without hesitation to strike him with a Taiji Seal, only then forcing him to barely retreat outside the pass!"

"Even so, that great hero of the Cao clan was still killed by him sneaking into Chang'an at the moment of attaining the Dao!"

Old Lady Tuoba looked at the Longcheng Body-Forging Technique, remembering the nearly invincible might of this great heavenly demon in the past, and could not help but sigh long and deeply.

"When this person led troops, he could truly be called an 'Invincible Supreme Supreme Tian Mo'. If it weren't for the internal chaos within his Murong family and the Weaponry Dao, causing him to be trapped in Longcheng, cutting off his connection with that demonic army, and almost killing all the seeds of the demonic army at Canhe Slope, I'm afraid the Great Wei would not be ruled by our Tuoba family now!"

Qian Chen smiled slightly: "Since the old lady has such a sigh, is it possible that Murong Chui has returned?"

Old Lady Tuoba was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Fuli'er has really misjudged this time! That's right, the Kirin son of the Cao family is coming from Chang'an, and an item he carries with him has stirred up both demons and monsters; not only has the Weaponry Dao of the Northern Frontier moved, but even the demon tribes have people who want to make a move this time."

Yuwen Heita happily tucked the "Longcheng Body-Forging Technique" into his bosom.

Hearing this, he raised his head blankly.

Old Lady Tuoba looked at him and also covered her heart, helplessly saying: "Murong Chui's last move was a thousand years ago! The juniors of today don't even remember his glorious name. I don't know that he was invincible in military strategy; at Canhe Slope, he lost an important spiritual treasure bestowed upon him by the Nine Nether Dao, which is why he had no more demonic army. But even so, as long as he shows three-tenths of his former style, these six towns are already in danger."

"The last time, the Supreme Louguan master repelled this person; this time, why not wait for that Supreme Louguan master to return?" Qian Chen advised kindly.

Old Lady Tuoba's eyes lit up, and she looked at Qian Chen seriously, smiling: "If you didn't truly have Buddhist cultivation, I would suspect you were a disciple of that Daoist Qian!"

"That's right, if it were that Daoist Qian, and he truly had a few colors of what is said overseas, Murong Chui wouldn't lack enemies!"

"You two little puppies, go back and cultivate well. The military path of the Murong family comes from the inheritance of the Demon Sect's military lineage and is the most fierce. The scriptures you secretly copied in the past can be cultivated to a certain point; it's better to use Buddhist methods to restrain them a bit, so you don't go astray and become demons!"

The old lady's attitude was gentle, and after calling the two up to examine them, she said: "In the future, you will play with those bad boys, and I will give you two horses!"

Her attitude was both gentle and strict: "Can you tame them?"

Yuwen Heita's eyes lit up, and he patted his chest: "Of course I can tame them!"

Puliuru whispered: "Must tame the horse!"

Heita then realized: "Our skills are no worse than those of the boys in the main tribe! Can you let us pick the horses ourselves?"

"Alright!" Old Lady Tuoba agreed immediately: "Let you pick them yourselves; whatever you can tame, you can ride!"

After saying this, she gestured for the two to withdraw.

The two youths started arguing outside the door, Yuwen Heita threatening fiercely: "You are not allowed to fight with me for that three-year-old Li Dragon Horse!"

Puliuru, although he had also taken a fancy to that one at first glance, had no choice but to say: "Then I want that little white horse born this year..."

Old Lady Tuoba watched Qian Chen put his hands together, placing the wooden alms bowl in front of him, where a golden lotus seed had already sprouted, revealing its sharp corner, and said: "The Master's words are not clumsy, and he is proficient in Buddhist law; would you be willing to lecture on two volumes of scriptures for me?"

Qian Chen nodded slightly and began to speak on the "Avatamsaka Sutra".

Old Lady Tuoba's eyes lit up; this scripture is a vast masterpiece, one of the few great scriptures in the Buddhist sect, and those who can be proficient in it must be great virtuous ones.

Qian Chen was so casual, which made her throw her last bit of doubt to the back of her mind.

She only thought that the Buddha Continent of the Western Earth overseas had sent another great virtuous one to preach in the Central Plains.

Of course, Qian Chen's eyebrows and eyes did not have the Hu appearance, but were entirely the appearance of a Han person, but the Immortal Qin once unified the Nine Provinces, so it was natural for Han bloodlines to spread even to the Lion Country overseas.

…………

After Tuoba Tao returned home, a servant whispered in his ear.

"What? The old lady and that novice monk stayed alone in the Buddha hall until now?"

"What? The old lady invited him to preach and was full of praise?"

"That novice monk doesn't even know how to read, and he doesn't have many words; what kind of Buddhist law can he preach?" Tuoba Tao remembered Qian Chen, thin and dry, with a bitter look, and thought: "Could it be that grandmother... grandmother! You are also hungry!"

He immediately rushed to the Buddha hall, leaving his attendants behind.

He had invited Qian Chen because he was suspicious, so he couldn't let this novice monk steal his home!

Just as he arrived outside the curtain, he heard Old Lady Tuoba's happy laughter: "What a good—'All phenomena are without dwelling, no fixed place can be obtained; all Buddhas dwell here, ultimately unmoving'."

"The Buddha says that all things in the world maintain their own nature and follow the understanding of living beings, hence they are called 'phenomena'."

"But the human heart is so changeable; where is its own nature and its own appearance? My late husband and I were like this; at first, everything was good, but when things happened, they changed quickly. At that time, I didn't know where his self-nature was, and for a time I only felt that he was like my demon; later, I gradually saw through that his true nature was like this, his true heart was like this, and he had never changed or left it; it was just that I was confused by the external appearance, thinking that all love was self-nature."

"Little did I know that love is the appearance of the heart!"

"Later, I heard the Avatamsaka Sutra verse 'All phenomena are without dwelling, no fixed place can be obtained; all Buddhas dwell here, ultimately unmoving', and my heart was moved, but I still didn't understand the ultimate truth."

"It wasn't until I heard this sentence from you, Master, that I understood; all phenomena are without dwelling, they only dwell in the human heart. No fixed place can be obtained, it must be obtained in the heart!"

Tuoba Tao outside was shocked: "What kind of demon is this? He has only been in my house for one day, and he has made grandmother so happy. He even mentioned the 'late husband' that I couldn't even talk to her about! If this continues, what will happen?"

He hurriedly pulled back the curtain.

He saw Qian Chen sitting calmly on the prayer mat, still holding that annoying wooden alms bowl, talking to Old Lady Tuoba behind a curtain raised in the Buddha hall.

That curtain was also a magic treasure with more than forty layers of seals, and there were maids serving beside Old Lady Tuoba.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the old lady saw him enter and scolded: "So reckless! You disturbed the little Master's preaching! Little Master... continue..."

Tuoba Tao felt cold in his heart and secretly thought: "I really can't let him stay here!" It was because the young monk's reputation in Chang'an for entering the homes of the noble was truly unbearable.

He immediately pressed Qian Chen's shoulder and said: "I must tell grandmother that I have a matter that I really cannot do without the Master. Let grandmother lend me the Master for a while, and he can preach to grandmother later!"

Old Lady Tuoba said: "Eh? Didn't you invite him to preach to me? Why do you have something else? I see you are impatient; why don't... you sit down and listen too. The little Master's Buddhist law is superb, and he is best at the word 'heart'! When he talks about the eight sufferings of life, even I feel sad!"

The maid beside her nodded with tears in her eyes, having already been moved to the bottom of her heart by Qian Chen's preaching.

Tuoba Tao didn't dare to keep Qian Chen any longer, made a few excuses, and pulled Qian Chen out.

The old lady said: "I think the Yuwen boy and his companion are not bad; you can take them with you to gain some experience!"

Tuoba Tao responded and hurriedly took Qian Chen out...
