I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 296 The Ancestor Calls Me Senior

Apocalypse City, White King’s residence.

Xiao Chong was practicing swordplay in the martial arts arena. His sword was not fast, and compared to before, his sword intent was less murderous and more heavy, majestic and peaceful. One could tell at a glance that it was a sword of a benevolent man.

Zang Ming ran in hurriedly without even bothering to greet anyone.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is here."

Xiao Chong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't seem to be panicked at all. Even the expression on his face was the same as before, with a gentle smile.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Change my clothes for me.

Oh, and don’t forget to bring the straps.”

As if infected by his calmness, Zang Ming took a deep breath and nodded.

Outside Prince Bai's Mansion, Xiao Ruojin looked up at the doorpost and suddenly realized that Prince Bai's Mansion seemed a little too deserted.

But he didn't say much and just walked in.

"Your Majesty, I am late in welcoming you. I hope you will forgive me."

Xiao Ruojin looked at Xiao Chong, whose eyes were covered with a white cloth, and a trace of concern appeared on her face.

"No need to be polite. What's wrong with your eyes? Why are they recurring?"

"My father, the disease has not recurred, but I am a little afraid of the light now. I have asked the imperial physician and he said it is normal and will be fine after a while. I am sorry for worrying you."

Looking at his son who was neither humble nor arrogant, behaved in a well-controlled manner and showed admiration for his son, Xiao Ruojin felt mixed emotions for a moment.

This child is really a good child. He doesn't fight or compete, and he is steady in doing things.

Unfortunately... this child is not Chu Zhao's nephew and has no blood relationship with the Chu State.

The State of Chu eventually became a huge mountain hanging over the heads of the Beili people.

The father and son chatted for a while, and then Xiao Ruojin waved his hand, and the guards, eunuchs and maids who were serving him all retreated.

In the entire hall, only the father and son were left.

Xiao Chongjing then said, "Chong'er, do you know that the headmaster of Wangcheng Mountain and the Snow Moon Sword Immortal are about to get married?"

Xiao Chong was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "After returning to Tianqi City from Wangcheng Mountain, although I have been recuperating, I have heard some news from outside. Father, do you want me to go to Wangcheng Mountain to congratulate you?"

Xiao Ruojin nodded, then shook his head: "This is just one of the reasons. Wangcheng Mountain needs to be won over, but we don't need to take it too seriously. Although Chu Zhao does make me very wary, since he has come to Wangcheng Mountain and stated that he is a disciple of Wangcheng Mountain, it means that he is no longer interested in the secular court. What I want to say is that Sikong Changfeng, the third city lord of Xueyue City, has accepted a disciple named Xiao Se."

Xiao Chong's mind moved: "Surname Xiao?"

"Yes, his surname is Xiao."

"Father, do you suspect that this Xiao Se is the sixth brother who ran away from home?"

Xiao Chong naturally knew why Xiao Se left Tianqi City.

But now he ran away from home not for the sake of brotherhood, but to save the face of the old man in front of him, and also to give Xiao Ruojin a way out.

Saying this will only make the son appear ignorant, rather than showing that there is something wrong with the father.

In fact, after hearing Xiao Chong say the words "running away from home", Xiao Ruojin smiled with relief.

"I have this suspicion, so I would like to trouble Chong'er to go there for me.

If it is really Chu He, bring him back and tell him that as long as he admits his mistakes, he will still be the Prince of Yong'an."

Xiao Chong seemed startled and stood up hurriedly to salute.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. It is an honor for me to be able to walk on your behalf. How can I bother you?"

Xiao Ruojin smiled and patted the seat next to him gently.

"No need to be so restrained. Sit down."

It was rare for Xiao Ruojin to show his closeness, and Xiao Chong felt quite complicated. However, he did not show anything. Instead, a smile appeared on his face, making him look more gentle like a gentleman.

"If it is really my sixth brother, I will bring him back so that he can be filial to my father and enjoy the happiness of his family."

"I am glad that you think so."

Xiao Ruojin nodded in satisfaction, then sighed: "Among you brothers, only you understand me the most and are the most filial. I have always kept it in mind. It's a bit lonely here. Tomorrow I will ask Jin Xuan to send you some palace maids."

"Thank you, Father."

"You and I are father and son, there's no need to be so polite." Xiao Ruojin shook his head and suddenly asked, "Do you know what the relationship between Chu He and Chu Zhao is?"

"Sixth brother didn't mention it much in the letter he wrote to me, but from what I have learned, the King of Chu should be your uncle."

Xiao Ruojin hummed, but didn't say much. He smiled faintly and said, "The Hundred Flowers Fair is being held in Xueyue City right now. Li Hanyi and Zhao Yuzhen will announce their engagement. I'm afraid you won't be able to make it in time. So go directly to Wangcheng Mountain. I'll let Ye Xiaoying go with you. Whether you can subdue him depends on your ability."

"Thank you, father. I will obey your order."

……

……

In the Western Regions, on a small hill outside the city of Khotan.

The once abandoned temple in the wilderness was renovated due to the arrival of Wang Rensun.

However, probably because Wang Rensun was the only one present, the temple was still very quiet and deserted.

"Amitabha."

The grandson of the Sky-Breaking Sword King, no, it should be said that the Venerable Faye put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name: "Brother Baili, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you doing recently?"

Baili Dongjun nodded, feeling overwhelmed with emotion for a moment.

"Fortunately, it's been more than ten years since we last met."

Venerable Faye nodded without saying much. He turned to look at Chu Zhao, and also put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. You look even more elegant than before. I wonder how is my nephew Wuxin?"

The last time they met, he was still Wang Rensun of the Broken Sky Blade. He was bored with life, drowning his sorrows in alcohol, and living a life of drunkenness and dreams.

Today, Venerable Faye looks full of compassion, his face is ruddy, his eyes are clear, and it is obvious that he has no worries and is not stained by the dust of the world. He looks like a highly enlightened monk.

"Well, it's OK. I have dealt with the matters in the outer world and am in seclusion now." Chu Zhao was distracted for a moment. Since the other party called him a real person, he smiled and bowed his head: "Come to think of it, I haven't congratulated the master yet. You have let go of the past and achieved the state of emptiness. Now the Buddhist sect has another great master."

Venerable Faye laughed heartily, looking very carefree. While leading Chu Zhao and Baili Dongjun to the Great Hall, he said, "Speaking of which, I have to thank the Immortal for his guidance. I can now give clear answers to the questions that the Immortal asked me that day.

My knife can now be picked up and put down."

When they parted, Chu Zhao asked Wang Rensun a question.

——Buddhism says that if you put down the butcher knife, you will become a Buddha instantly. Can you put down the knife in your hand?

Now hearing the answer from Venerable Faye, Chu Zhao smiled and nodded.

"Great kindness! In this world, there are more people who can take it but cannot let it go.

From the sentence "let go", we can know that the master has realized the three natures of emptiness.

I now regret that I should have allowed the master to join my sect. I have added a great Zen master to Buddhism for nothing."

Venerable Faye smiled bitterly and shook his head. He just shook his head, and he really had some of the demeanor of Falan and Moke.

"Master, please don't make fun of me. Recently, I have been imitating Master Wangyou, and now I know what Master Wangyou has endured over the years.

Compared to Master Wangyou, I am far inferior to him, so how can I be worthy of the title of a great Zen master? "

It can be seen that Venerable Faye now has many feelings.

Life is a journey, and no one can accompany you through it.

All friends are just walking together on a certain journey in life. You never know when we will go our separate ways.

It is a blessing to meet you again.

If you don't meet him, then it will only become a memory. In the main hall, the Buddha lowered his head and looked merciful.

The tablet of Monk Wangyou is placed at the feet of the Buddha.

Venerable Faye and Baili Dongjun burned incense, and Chu Zhao just watched from the side, but he also bowed his head.

Afterwards, the three of them started chatting in the main hall.

Baili Dongjun was drinking, but drinking alone would be too boring, so he took the wine jug and shook it in front of Venerable Faye beside him.

"You really don't want to drink?"

Hearing this, Chu Zhao couldn't help but joked, "Have you really quit drinking?"

Venerable Faye waved his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
“I have indeed quit drinking, but I have to admit that in the beginning, not drinking was extremely uncomfortable, but I think that was just the work of my inner demons.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long for me to conquer my inner demons, and I realized that not drinking alcohol wasn’t that difficult.”

"Well, there is nothing difficult in this world. Many times it just depends on whether you are willing to do it." Chu Zhao said with a smile.

Venerable Faye nodded and smiled, then asked, "Why are you here, Master?"

"I had something to do in the Western Territory, and I happened to pass by here. Baili Dongjun said he wanted to come and see you, our old friend, so we came."

"Western Territory?"

Venerable Faye was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Master, do you know that there is a place called the Land of the Fallen Buddha in the Western Territory?
Of course, it’s not that I don’t believe in the real person’s strength, but the place in the west is very complicated.

Not only did the Buddha fall, but also the family that guarded the border back then, and even the legendary demon. "

Hearing this, Baili Dongjun and Chu Zhao couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"How do you know this?"

"I didn't expect the master to know so much."

The former is Baili Dongjun.

The latter is naturally Chu Zhao.

Venerable Faye chanted a Buddhist name and sighed: "As you know, I used to be a close friend of Brother Ye. He was the leader of the Tianwai Tian Sect. I have heard a lot from him, and I have also heard some from my master and brothers, but..."

"Just what?" Baili Dongjun asked anxiously.

"It's just that some things are so surreal that they seem too real."

Chu Zhao said with interest: "Tell me about it."

“According to Master, it is said in the Great Brahma Sound Temple that there was a Buddha who fought a great battle with a demon and eventually perished in the Western Territory.

At first I thought it was just a legend, but later I heard from Brother Ye that he had seen the demon with his own eyes.

Rumor has it that Brother Ye was suddenly possessed by a demon during the Eastern Expedition because he was unable to control the magic swordsmanship passed down by the Southern Sword Immortal Yu Shengmo. But I have always suspected that it was because he had seen that heavenly demon.

Before Brother Ye died, he told me a secret, and I had planned to keep it in my heart forever until I died. "

Since Master Faye said that Ye Dingzhi had seen that Heavenly Demon, Chu Zhao could probably guess the secret he was talking about, and said with a smile: "Since it is a secret that we are going to take into the coffin, Master, there is no need to tell it."

"you know?"

Baili Dongjun turned his head and looked at Chu Zhao.

"I am also the son-in-law of Tianwaitian after all, what do you think?"

Venerable Faye was stunned. He opened his mouth but no words came out. He suddenly turned his head and looked outside.

A shadow seemed to have enveloped the Great Hall, causing the candlelight in the hall to suddenly flicker irregularly.

The gilded Buddha statue seemed to be glowing, but was suppressed by the shadow in an instant.

Chu Zhao remained unmoved, and Baili Dongjun drank the wine calmly.

When Venerable Fa Ye saw this, he naturally did not move.

With these two here, even if the sky falls today, there is no need for an old monk like him to worry.

After all, the two people in front of us can hold up the sky.

Venerable Faye was not at all panicked, and even seemed to be enjoying the show.

In the main hall, a person suddenly appeared at some point.

It's a swordsman!
His body was covered in sand and his clothes were tattered. His exposed skin was festering, but it would quickly return to normal, and this cycle repeated over and over again.

The vitality and the breath of death in this person seemed to be fighting every minute and every second, but they were maintained at an extremely mysterious balance point.

As a swordsman, he naturally uses a sword.

In his hand was a sword without a scabbard. It looked completely different from ordinary swords. It did not have the texture of iron or stone, but instead had a texture like jade.

Chu Zhao could tell at a glance that this was a bone sword carved from human leg bones.

The sword blade was slightly yellowish, and was surrounded by a chilling deathly aura.

There are Buddhist blessings in the main hall, but it still cannot suppress the deathly aura.

In the originally golden Great Hall, only the small space where Chu Zhao and the other two were sitting was still bright.

"Junior Chu Xiaotian from the Tianren Sect, greetings to Senior Chu."

Chu Zhao looked strange: "You are much older than me, and you call me senior?"

"On the path of cultivation, those who are more accomplished come first. Senior has already walked ahead of me, so I should call you a senior.

Come to think of it, I and you were from the same family five hundred years ago."

Chu Zhao seemed to have sensed something, and his mind moved inexplicably, so he counted with his fingers.

Wow, he is really a relative, and an ancestor of my generation.

Is it okay for my ancestor to call me senior?
Looking at Chu Xiaotian in front of him, Chu Zhao's expression became more and more strange.

"Indeed, you are from our family, but unfortunately you are no longer the same person, and you are not worthy of being a member of our Chu family." Chu Zhao shook his head and sighed, "I have killed four of you from the Tianren Sect over the years, and I saw another one in Xueyue City not long ago. Of the four great guardians of the Tianren Sect and the two envoys on the left and right, only one is left now, and I think it must be you."

"Yes, I am honored to be the Left Envoy of the Tianren Sect."

Chu Zhao nodded: "Since you knew I was here, you still dared to come here alone. Do you think that your spooky sword can save your life?"

In his Dharma eyes, Chu Xiaotian's condition was very special. Half of his body had fallen into the underworld, while the other half remained in the world.

Simply put, it is half-life.

Most of the people in the Tianren Sect are in a strange state.

In comparison, the Gui Yu that appeared in Xueyue City was the purest, but also the weakest.

As for the one in front of him, since he can sit on the position of the Left Envoy of the Tianren Sect, his strength is naturally the strongest.

At least, Baili Dongjun can't kill him now.

It can even be said that no one in the world can kill him except him and Li Changsheng.

Because his body is only half solid, and so is his soul. Once he dies, he will be resurrected in another place.

Chu Xiaotian still had a faint smile on his face. He did not look nervous and seemed to have something to rely on, but he slowly retreated outside the main hall, then sat on the ground, placed his sword on his knees, and looked like he was ready to sit down and discuss something.

“If someone else were here, I would be able to escape unscathed with this sword.

But it’s different with the seniors. They are so powerful that even our sect leader is very afraid of them.

But this time, I came here with great sincerity, not to fight with my seniors.

Since you are a true immortal, it is not right for you to attack a junior like me."
