From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 282 Buddha Comes from the West
Since the changes in Songhe Prefecture in late November, it is now mid-December.

When I woke up in the morning, snowflakes started falling from the sky.

Wang Buyi was guarding the door of the Nie family's old house. The strong wind blew his clothes and a thin layer of snow covered his head.

"Captain, Madam Nie, Madam Jiang, Fairy Xiang." Wang Buyi had been here yesterday and had seen Meng Yuan's two chambermaids and Xiangling.

Nie Qingqing and Jiang Tang returned the greetings. Xiangling was the most humble, standing on Meng Yuan's shoulder and bowing.

It has been four or five days since we arrived in Beijing, and it is time to set off.

Riding on the little red horse, Meng Yuan waved goodbye.

"Little gelder, remember to write to me! If you have any good poems, please send them back to me!" Xiangling stood on Jiang Tang's head and waved her little paws vigorously.

Meng Yuan agreed with a smile, then urged his horse forward.

The snow fell to the ground like salt, rustling. One layer was blown away by the wind, and then another layer fell.

It is very cold in winter, and there are fewer pedestrians on the streets than usual, and they are all in a hurry.

Hearing the sound of charcoal selling, Meng Yuan murmured a poem and arrived at the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Meng Yuan reported to the Demon Suppression Bureau today, accompanied by Wang Buyi, and received the thousand-household badge.

Now that Wang Er, the head of the Demon Suppression Division, is not here, Xiao Taotao and Ding Chonglou are also away with him. Now there are only two commanders in charge of the Demon Suppression Division.

The two commanders were named Yue Laosheng and Ji Feng. They were both elderly, in their sixties or seventies.

"It's rare to see such a young sixth-rank warrior." The old man Yue was very taciturn, but Ji Feng was very amiable.

They obviously knew about Meng Yuan's deeds. Ji Feng looked at Meng Yuan with a smile and asked, "Did you really kill Xie Yisheng?"

"It was just luck. Xie Yishen forced himself to return to the divine realm through the Nine Transformations and became unconscious, so I was able to succeed." Meng Yuan replied.

"So that's how it is." He couldn't tell whether Ji Fengxin believed it or not, so he didn't say much, and didn't make things difficult for Meng Yuan.

Ji Feng was very kind, and asked about Ying Rushi's injury and the matter of Prince Xin Dugu Sheng, and finally said: "The governor loves the younger generation and is willing to help the younger generation. She asked you to follow her, you should do your job well and ask for advice from time to time, you will definitely benefit a lot."

After receiving some encouraging words, Meng Yuan withdrew without receiving any instructions, let alone saying what he would do in Ping'an Prefecture.

Meng Yuan came out with Wang Buyi to look for Lin Yan.

Lin Yan had been waiting for a long time, accompanied by his two old subordinates, Zhou Ying and Fan Ye.

"They are the emperor's men." Lin Yan poured tea and introduced them carefully, "When the emperor succeeded to the throne through a coup, they helped."

"By the way, the Governor is also considered the Emperor's man, right?" Meng Yuan suddenly looked at Wang Buyi.

There are monsters in the world, and there are garrisons everywhere. The Monster Suppression Office is full of warriors, independent of the army, and has always been under the command of the emperor.

"Forget it." Wang Buyi turned around and smiled helplessly, "But our governor may not think so. She..."

Lin Yan chuckled and whispered, "It's the deposed prince's people."

The so-called deposed crown prince is Dugu Can, the elder brother of the current emperor Dugu Shang, and also Mingyue’s elder brother.

At that time, the deposed crown prince plotted a rebellion, but was defeated by Dugu Shang, who then died. The two Ying Gongs also died in this battle.

When Meng Yuan heard the secret, he asked curiously, "What do you mean?" "The governor is a student of the deposed prince." Wang Buyi also spoke.

Zhou Ying and Fan Ye pretended not to hear, but did not avoid it. Instead, they pricked up their ears, as if hoping to hear more secrets about Wang Er.

Meng Yuan counted on his fingers and found that the deposed crown prince had sought advice from Old Ying Gong and married Old Ying Gong's eldest daughter. So the deposed crown prince and Ying Ru were of the same generation.

Wang Er was the disciple of the deposed crown prince. Meng Yuan thought that he and Ying Ru were of the same generation, and that meant he was one generation higher than Wang Er.

"Then..." Meng Yuan was very surprised, "The emperor let her take charge of the Demon Suppression Bureau?"

"Sister, I don't have the mind to fight for power." Wang Buyi said.

"Hey, why do you think she's an old maid?" Lin Yan chuckled, "She once received an order from the deposed crown prince, saying that demons were everywhere, and asked her to run the Demon Suppression Division well to prevent the demons from becoming bigger. She has been guarding this broken place, and the emperor saw that she had no ulterior motives, so he simply let her manage the Demon Suppression Division."

Lin Yan held Meng Yuan's shoulders, pointed at Wang Buyi, and said, "The people of the old Wang family are all hanging out with the emperor now, and have long forgotten who the deposed prince is. If the governor has ulterior motives, the entire Wang family will be buried with him!"

At this point, Lin Yan looked at Meng Yuan again and said, "We are going on a long journey this time, and the two of you at home can't come with us. You should do your best to help Brother Wang get another brother-in-law!"

"Captain Lin, my sister has no intention of getting married." Wang Buyi has always been a kind person, but now he got angry and said seriously: "Besides, Captain Meng is already married!"

"So what if you get married? If you can't be my biological brother-in-law, you can always be my uncle's brother-in-law, right?" Lin Yan made sense. He pointed at Zhou Ying and said, "Zhou Ying has always wanted to marry into a rich family. When she heard that my junior brother had an engagement, she turned around and left! Yesterday, when she heard that my junior brother was already a sixth-rank official and was going to get married, she regretted it so much that she gnashed her teeth and kept blaming me for not explaining it clearly to her! There's no regret medicine left!"

Zhou Ying's face flushed and she glared at Lin Yan.

Seeing this, Fan Ye said, "She is too humble to be a younger sister, and she has never shared the joys and sorrows with others as an elder. Her parents have no influence to borrow from."

"Shut up!" Zhou Ying was annoyed and shouted at Wang Buyi, "Are you going or not? Let's go!"

"Who did I offend?" Wang Buyi held his forehead and said helplessly, "But it's time to set off."

"There's no rush for the next one or two days." Lin Yan was a carefree person. "My junior brother just got married, but my marriage is still to be decided. Let's wait a bit!"

"We can't wait." Wang Buyi said solemnly, "The governor sent a letter asking us to go quickly, saying that we can gain some experience here."

After saying this, everyone looked at Wang Buzhi.

"Because of the Qingguangzi incident, the abbot of Lanruo Temple has sent an invitation, inviting the Western Buddha to discuss Buddhism at Lanruo Temple." Wang Buyi lowered his voice.

"Didn't they say that the Buddha of Freedom was in seclusion facing the wall?" Lin Yan asked.

"That's why the Buddha of Freedom couldn't come in person," Wang Buyi's voice became smaller and smaller. Everyone came forward, and he continued, "It was his most distinguished disciple who came to the West on his behalf."

"Bald Donkey has tens of thousands of disciples, both monsters and humans. Which one is coming?" Lin Yan asked curiously.

"The letter says that it is Bodhisattva Vaiśrava who is teaching the younger generation on behalf of Buddha Shakyamuni." Wang Buyi said.

To advance from the fourth level of Buddhism to the third level, one must make great aspirations and fulfill them.

If one wants to achieve one's ambition, one must overcome hundreds and thousands of difficulties before one can become a Buddha and attain enlightenment.

The greater the aspiration, the more difficult it is, the higher the fruit position after success, and the greater the supernatural power. Some have the power of an immortal body, while others are not subject to the six realms of reincarnation. They are all powerful in the world, but there are also differences in levels.

And according to different fruition positions, there are many titles, such as the Holy King of the Wheel of Time, the Arhat of Dharma Protection, the Elder of Preaching, etc. For example, Qing Guangzi, after attaining the third level of enlightenment, has already achieved the fruition position and is the Holy King of Light.

This Bodhisattva Wuyou also has a big name, and people in the world respect him as Wusheng Arhat. This means that he has attained Nirvana, transcended the cycle of death and rebirth, is not bound by all kinds of karma, and does not enter the six realms of reincarnation. He is the first person under the seat of the Buddha of Freedom.
