Chapter 109 The Supreme Treasure of Buddhism, Bodhisattva Jade Bone
On this day, Hui Shi returned to Lu County with Wu Yin.
When he was in the Changfeng Prefecture, he chatted with Hui Shi for an entire day and night. The content of their conversation was basically about Cui Heng’s new policies and the various situations he encountered when he implemented it throughout Lu Prefecture.
After chatting, Wu Yin seemed to have gone crazy. He dealt with government affairs for two days and two nights without sleep and wanted to follow Hui Shi to Lu County to visit
Cui Heng.
After arriving at Lu County, he did not go to greet him directly.
Instead, similar to what Zhou Hongyi had done previously, he first found a place to stay and planned to adjust his condition before handing over the invitation the next day.
“You kidnapped Fengzhou’s Governor here?!” When Cui Heng heard this news, he almost laughed. He looked at the matter and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you to know how to abduct people.”
“…” Hui Shi did not understand this joke and explained in confusion, “Lord, it was Lord Wu who insisted on following me. He seems to admire your administrative methods in Lu Prefecture very much.”
“How’s the situation in Changfeng Prefecture?” Cui Heng asked casually. He wanted to confirm if this other Governor was just putting on an act.
The lives of the people are not considered good, but there are signs of proper governance.” Hui Shi explained the information he had obtained from the people of Changfeng Prefecture.
“In that case, the previous State Overseer of Fengzhou, Cao Quan, indeed deserved to die.” Cui Heng nodded in agreement. He recognized Wu Yin’s ability and suddenly smiled. “By the way, have you found out who assassinated Cao Quan?
“I haven’t heard any news, and no one seems to be interested in that,” Hui Shi said with a shake of his head. “After all, everyone is fighting for the position of State Overseer. Who cares how the prior one died?”
“That’s true. However, after hearing your description of this Governor Wu, why do I feel…” Cui Heng chuckled.” Perhaps Cao Quan is this Governor Wu or something.”
“Him?” Hui Shi’s eyes widened when he heard that. He said in surprise, “No way. He only knows a little about martial cultivation and is still at the Body Refinement realm and in the process of strengthening his body.”
“You don’t have to use martial arts to kill people.” Cui Heng smiled and didn’t say anything else. He changed the topic and said, “By the way, you just said that County Governor Luo’an has already thrown in their lot with the people from You Prefecture?”
“Yes, my Lord.” Hui Shi nodded. “The people of Luo’an County are too miserable. Ren Yuankui actually planned to use 90% of Fengzhou’s taxes to exchange for support and sit on the position of State Overseer.”
“He’s courting death.” Cui Heng sneered. “After I become the State Overseer, go to Luo’an County on my behalf and behead this fellow. The first place to implement the new decree will be in Luo’an County.”
At this point, he paused for a moment before saying with a smile, “However, this time, it’s equivalent to slapping Ren Yuankui in the face in front of everyone in You Prefecture. He actually didn’t stop you?”
If he stopped him, he would probably die.
“He wouldn’t dare. Moreover, I heard some of their guesses about you, Lord.” Hui Shi told him about Ren Yuankui and Wei Xiong’s guess that Cui Heng was a pawn of the Daoyi Palace.
Although Ren Yuankui and Wei Xiong were talking in the inner hall of the Luo’an Governor Office, which was quite far from the door, Hui Shi was already an expert in the Xiantian realm. His five senses were extremely sharp, so it was very simple for him to hear their conversation.
“So I’ve become a pawn of the Daoyi Palace.” Cui Heng smiled. With a thought, he tapped the table lightly and said, “Go and invite Daoist Zhou over.”
“Yes, my Lord.” Hui Shi suppressed a smile and excused himself.
….
Zhou Hongyi was currently placed in a residence not far from the governor’s office.
It was convenient for him to visit Cui Heng.
This Daoist priest would basically look for Cui Heng every day.
Ever since Wang and Xie allied forces were destroyed, he had determined that Cui Heng was an Immortal figure, a supreme existence who had comprehended the Great Dao. He often begged Cui Heng to teach him martial arts.
According to his thoughts, he was listening to the sound of the Great Dao and approaching
Cui Heng would never refuse such a small request.
Moreover, he would also hint from time to time that he actually had even more brilliant Immortal techniques, but Zhang Shuming had to come over personally.
In fact, after Zhou Hongyi received Cui Heng’s guidance, his martial arts had indeed improved greatly, even more than before. Sometimes, he even felt that he was about to break through to a higher realm.
This made him yearn for higher-level Immortal techniques even more.
Therefore, not long after destroying the Wang and Xie allied forces, Zhou Hongyi sent a message to his master, Zhang Shuming, asking this Daoyi Palace Sect Master to quickly come to Lu County City to comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao.
In addition, he hoped that Zhang Shuming would prepare a generous gift for Cui Heng when he came.
After all, Dao teachings were not supposed to be passed down easily, let alone comprehending the power of the Great Dao that could only be chanced upon by luck. He definitely could not come empty-handed.
In short, from all aspects, Zhou Hongyi could be said to be extremely respectful to Cui Heng. Therefore, one could imagine his reaction after hearing Hui Shi’s description.
“What?!”
Zhou Hongyi jumped up in shock, almost breaking the wooden beam of the house. What followed was deep panic. “Sir Chen, Exalted Immortal didn’t blame me, right?”
He was really panicking. He even addressed Hui Shi respectfully.
“Don’t worry, the Lord is probably just joking,” Hui Shi said with a smile. “Let’s go. Lord Governor is still waiting for you.”
“Good, good!” Zhou Hongyi heaved a sigh of relief. Before leaving with Hui Shi, he instructed Liu Zhizhen, “Zhizhen, imitate my tone and notes. Write a letter to Master and ask him to come over quickly.”
With that, he quickly followed Hui Shi out.
“Ah, this, I…” Liu Zhizhen opened his mouth to speak, but he realized that Zhou Hongyi had long disappeared. He couldn’t help but roll his eyes.” He’s killing me! I’m supposed to use Uncle-Master Zhou’s tone to write a letter to the Sect Master? Hiss!”
Although Zhou Hongyi and Zhang Shuming were master and disciple, they interacted more like old friends. Usually, they spoke very harmoniously. Other than the necessary respect, they did not have any barriers.
At the thought of writing to the Sect Master in such a casual tone…
Liu Zhizhen was a little flustered.
Of course, there was also a little excitement.
….
“Daoist Zhou is here?” Cui Heng looked at Zhou Hongyi with a faint smile.
“Exalted Immortal, I’m innocent!” Zhou Hongyi hurriedly explained, “Don’t listen to outsiders’ nonsense. My Daoyi Palace will never…”
“Alright, I won’t mind these words.” Cui Heng waved his hand and shook his head. “I called you here to ask you something. When will Perfected Zhang Shuming arrive?”
“As long as the letter is delivered to Master, he should arrive soon.” Zhou Hongyi was also a little uncertain, mainly because he was not sure when his letter would arrive.
After all, Lu County City was quite a distance away from the East Flower Mountain in Yongzhou.
“Alright.” Cui Heng nodded slightly.
Then, he suddenly took out an exquisite lacquered box from his sleeve and said to Zhou Hongyi and Hui Shi, “Since Perfected Zhang can’t be here for the time being, I have something to give you guys first. Open it and take a look.”
This lacquered box was only the size of a palm and had an exquisite design. It looked like it was used to store some kind of rare item.
Zhou Hongyi and Hui Shi looked at each other in surprise, not understanding what Cui Heng meant.
However, they still went forward together to open the lacquered box.
Then, the two of them were stunned.
Especially Hui Shi. He looked at the things in the lacquered box with his mouth agape and exclaimed in shock, “This, this is the Bodhisattva Jade Bone?! The legendary Bodhisattva Jade Bone that is as small as a fist and looks like white jade?!”
Inside the lacquered box was a sparkling and translucent white jade bone. Moreover, it contained an extremely pure power of compassion and light, giving off the feeling that it was the legendary Buddhist light.
Zhou Hongyi was also a knowledgeable person. When he saw the white jade skeleton in the lacquered box, he could not hide his shock and muttered, “Bodhisattva Jade Bone, this, this is equivalent to the remains of an Earth Immortal!
“If a Deity Realm expert obtains it, he can refine it to become an Arhat. If one obtains it at the Arhat Realm, they can unleash the power of Bodhisattva realm with the jade bone. Exalted Immortal, you actually have such a supreme Buddhist treasure in your hands!”
The two of them felt that their minds were in a mess, and they could not figure out why Cui Heng would take out such a Buddhist treasure.
“What will happen if this Buddhist treasure appears in Yuzhou?” Cui Heng asked with a smile.
“Lord must be joking.” Hui Shi’s eyes were filled with amazement as he said, “Not to mention Yuzhou, as long as this Buddhist treasure appears, no matter where it is, even in the grasslands, the Southern Wilderness, or Western Wastelands outside the Great Jin, it will attract the entire world to fight for it.”
“Alright.” Cui Heng suddenly stood up and said to the two of them, “In a while, you’ll take this box of Buddhist bones and send it to the edge of Yuzhou. You have to stay away from the Golden Light Mountain where the Baolin Buddhist Hall is, lest they obtain it directly. That won’t be good.”
“Ah?!” Hui Shi almost thought he had heard wrongly when he heard this. He said with a trembling voice in disbelief, “Lord, you, you’re going to throw away this Bodhisattva Jade Bone?!”
“…” Zhou Hongyi was also stunned. He almost thought that he was hallucinating. Even to the Daoyi Palace, which had a foundation of 10,000 years, a complete Bodhisattva jade bone was a rare supreme treasure.
Now, he was actually throwing it away?!
“I have to focus on some things next. I don’t want anyone to disturb me.” Cui Heng looked at the two of them calmly and said, “Just do as I say.”
Under Cui Heng’s gaze, Hui Shi and Zhou Hongyi’s hearts trembled. They felt a cooling aura rush to their heads, and their minds became much clearer.
Only then did they realize that because of their extreme shock, they had already almost lost their minds.
“Thank you for your help, my Lord. I won’t let you down!”
The two of them said in unison and bade farewell.
“Buddha treasure?”
Cui Heng suddenly chuckled.
Then, he took out a food box from under his desk.
Inside was a pile of chicken bones that had been left behind and dried up.
He picked up a piece of chicken bone and shook it gently.
In an instant, another Bodhisattva Jade Bone with a Buddhist charm was born.
