Qin Guangwang heard Xuan Kong's whisper and shook his head with a smile, saying, "There are many small countries in the human world, and it's not surprising if some powerful demons become kings."
Xuan Kong did not answer, but suddenly asked, "What if I say that the imperial advisor of the Song Dynasty has been usurped by a demon?"
Before Qin Guangwang could speak, his disciple Wang Jun had already changed his expression and asked, "Master, what are you saying? What demon has become the imperial advisor of the Song Dynasty?" Xuan Kong also frowned, as he did not have enough evidence to prove what he said.
Apart from the occasional movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" seen by his senior, it was impossible to shoot a movie to prove his words in this world, right?
Besides, even if it were shot, it wouldn't prove anything.
Xuan Kong did not want to say more, he just looked at Qin Guangwang quietly.
Wang Jun, however, was deeply moved. He compared his master Xuan Kong's words with the information he knew, and many things that he could not understand before suddenly became clear!
"Right, right, only this explanation makes sense!" Wang Jun's eyes shone as he looked at his master. This time, running away from home was indeed a wise move!
If he had stayed at home, he would have been harmed by the demon sooner or later.
When the human court is controlled by demons, who knows what kind of evil consequences will arise. It's inevitable that the situation of King Wu's campaign against King Zhou will be replayed in the Southern Continent, and this time there won't be another Central Continent for the gods and immortals to fight on.
During the great calamity of the gods' sealing, the original Central Continent was shattered by the cultivators of various sects.
Flying in the primordial universe, no one knows how many stars it has fragmented into. It's also unknown whether the many living beings and demons that fell on those stars can survive and evolve.
Seeing Xuan Kong not speaking, Wang Jun knew his master's temper. He would not stand idly by when he saw injustice in the world. But in front of Qin Guangwang, he could not beg his master to take action, so he clenched his fists and pulled the still confused Wang Qi to stand in the corner.
Qin Guangwang was itching to know, and he waved his hand to set up a Netherworld array, sealing the Xuanming Palace.
Then he pulled Xuan Kong over and whispered, "Little brother, I know you are quick-witted and have keen senses. Tell me quickly, is what you said just now true or false?"
Xuan Kong pursed his lips and bit his teeth, saying, "I don't know, but Brother Qin Guangwang, you can check who is the Buddha of the Unseen Sky?"
Qin Guangwang was puzzled, "Buddha of the Unseen Sky? Who is the Buddha of the Unseen Sky?"
Xuan Kong said, "I suspect that behind the demon advisor, the owner of the Black Lotus of Gold is the Buddha of the Unseen Sky!"
Qin Guangwang closed his eyes to recall for a moment, then opened them and shook his head, "In the three realms, there is no Buddha named the Buddha of the Unseen Sky!"
Xuan Kong frowned, "That's exactly what I find strange!"
He recounted his experiences along the way to Qin Guangwang. Even with Qin Guangwang's experience, his face turned pale and he was shocked, "If what you say is true, the Buddha of the Unseen Sky has already established a great influence in the human world, and his ambitions are not small!"
They didn't know the full extent, but it was enough to raise concern. Qin Guangwang came to his senses and asked, "Little brother, you never come to the underworld without a reason. You must have come here today for this matter, right?"
"Uh..."
Xuan Kong was taken aback. To be honest, before he entered the underworld, he wasn't thinking about the Buddha of the Unseen Sky. He wasn't a sage, how could he have predicted that everything he encountered would be related to the Black Lotus of Gold?
He just wanted to persuade Qin Guangwang to cooperate with him to put on a good show for the protagonist-loving Mila Chan Shi.
However, now it seemed that the two matters could be combined.
Xuan Kong smiled and decided to be honest with Qin Guangwang, "I came here today to ask a favor of Brother Qin Guangwang. Originally, it was a personal matter, but now it seems it could also be a breakthrough in our search for the roots of the Buddha of the Unseen Sky!"
Qin Guangwang smiled, "Little brother, just say it. As long as the underworld can help, I will certainly assist!"
"Great! Thank you in advance, Brother Qin Guangwang!" Xuan Kong sat in the chair and recounted his master-disciple relationship with Mila Chan Shi, saying, "I want to take him as my disciple, but he has already joined the ranks of the monk Fahai. I can't force him, so I just want you to help me put on a show to deceive him into joining my ranks!"
Qin Guangwang took a deep breath, "Is it the abbot Fahai of Jinshan Temple?"
Xuan Kong was surprised, "What, Brother Qin Guangwang, you also know that meddlesome old monk?"
Qin Guangwang couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Who told you that Abbot Fahai is a meddlesome old monk?"
Xuan Kong was speechless. He had never met the monk Fahai of Jinshan Temple, and his impression was just something he had imagined. He scratched his head and shook his head, "No one told me. So, what is this Fahai old monk like?"
Qin Guangwang smiled, "Abbot Fahai looks about your age, with a rosy complexion and white teeth, born with the realm of unity with the Buddha. He is a natural cultivator of Buddhism, able to traverse the yin and yang realms from a young age, and I watched him join the ranks of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha."
"As for your claim that Abbot Fahai would take Mila Chan Shi as a disciple, that's absurd! Abbot Fahai is like you, a cultivator who pursues the Heavenly Dao. He practices the Lesser Vehicle Buddhism, which focuses on self-cultivation, and would not waste time taking in disciples."
Qin Guangwang guessed, "Most likely, the monks of Jinshan Temple, greedy for the gold and silver you mentioned, just gave him the title of Abbot Fahai's disciple."
Xuan Kong recalled that Mila Chan Shi's cultivation was indeed not very deep, and he didn't seem to have received formal training.
He only had a hollowed-out Dharma staff as a protective weapon and a rather beautiful alms bowl. The talismans he used to subdue demons were even from his junior of the Laoshan Sect, which had entered the human market.
He couldn't help but laugh, but in his heart, he gave Mila Chan Shi even more praise. In such a situation, he could understand the Dharma by listening to the scriptures in Jinshan Temple and even cultivate the method to form a yuan ying.
It had to be said that this Zhang family elder's insight was unparalleled, which made Xuan Kong even more interested in him. He was determined to take him as a disciple and leaned in to Qin Guangwang's ear, recounting the plan he had designed.
