Film and Television: The Great Feng Sword Immortal, starting with Lingyue's updo hairstyle

Right now, the most important thing is to fight against Buddhism.

The supervisor smiled and said, "It's not so easy to win a battle against Buddhism. Just the Eight Sufferings Formation alone is something that very few people in the capital can survive safely."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuanjing frowned.

Everyone in the capital knew of Su Zhexian's character.

Fine wine... beautiful woman.

It was because of his poetic talent that he was hailed as a banished immortal.

If it were anyone else, they would be called a pervert.

How should he face the Eight Sufferings Formation used by Buddhist monks to temper their minds?

"If we lose this battle, the original equal alliance will be tilted..." Emperor Yuanjing said worriedly.

This is what worries him the most.

Compared to twenty years ago, the Great Feng Kingdom has weakened considerably and is no longer comparable to the Buddhist sects of the Western Regions.

This is something that's tacitly understood; no one will say it.

However, if we lose this contest of wits, it will be recorded in history, which is equivalent to putting the matter out in the open.

When later generations study this period of history, they will believe that the power of the Great Feng Kingdom declined in the later years of Emperor Yuanjing's reign.

Then he, as emperor, would not be a restorer of the dynasty, but a foolish and incompetent emperor.

Although the Great Feng Dynasty had weakened considerably over the past twenty years, Emperor Yuanjing believed himself to be a good emperor…

"We can't lose. We have to win no matter what. We have three chances. If Su Nan loses, you'd better choose a capable person."

Emperor Yuanjing spoke each word clearly.

……

"Such a terrifying formation?"

Chu Yuanzhen was taken aback after hearing Hengyuan's explanation.

"Given Su Nan's character, I'm afraid he won't pass the test of the Eight Sufferings Formation," Chu Yuanzhen pondered.

It's true that people from southern Jiangsu are free-spirited and unrestrained.

But everyone knows his personality very well.

To put it nicely, he was a womanizer.

To put it bluntly, he's a lecher.

How can this pass through a Buddhist formation?!

“Perhaps you should be more confident and remove the ‘I’m afraid’,” Hengyuan said with a helpless expression.

"These Eight Sufferings Formations are used by high-ranking monks who practice Zen to temper their Buddhist hearts. If a martial monk falls into them, at best his mind will be shattered, and at worst he will go mad and lose his reason."

Chu Yuanzhen's expression changed drastically!

"The Buddhist sect is far too vicious!"

……

Looking at the Eight Sufferings Formation, Su Nan felt a little curious.

What's so mysterious about this formation?

“You’ll know once you try it.”

Su Nan smiled and then stepped onto the stone steps.

In an instant, the scenery before my eyes changed; Foshan faded away, the steps faded away, and darkness obscured my vision.

Su Nan's vision went completely dark, and his consciousness seemed to be in a hazy and blurred state.

"The patient suffered a severe head injury and is currently immersed in his own fantasy world, making it difficult for him to wake up."

"..."

Many familiar voices reached Su Nan's ears.

These sounds seem to be out of place.

He heard many familiar sounds, such as his parents calling and crying.

The doctor's anxious calls and the nurse's whispers in his ear.

Su Nan was momentarily dazed.

Am I... going back?

Or perhaps he never even came to the Great Feng World.

Just as the doctor said, he was actually immersed in his own fantasy world.

With this question in mind, Su Nan slowly opened her eyes.

Then he saw his parents and old friends, all standing in front of his sickbed.

"mom"

Looking at the woman with a surprised expression, Su Nan subconsciously called out.

Immediately afterwards, his parents rushed to his bedside and wept bitterly!

As Su Nan regained consciousness and recovered, he returned to a normal life.

Go back to work, get married and have children...

He became like a beast of burden again, working day and night to save enough for a down payment on a house. He studied so hard that he could hang himself from the rafters and prick his thigh with an awl. Finally, he made the down payment on a house.

He married a decent wife, and their child was born the following year.

From then on, he lived for his child, raised him, and provided for his education.

After decades of hard work, their son got married, had a wedding house, and began his life.

Then, the grandson was born.

……

In the final moments of his life, he lay in a hospital bed and ended his life.

Before he left, he had only his equally aged wife by his side.

At this moment, Su Nan felt a sense of relief, as if he could finally rest.

Apart from a carefree childhood, the rest of my life was nothing but toil.

Only when he breathed his last did he feel a sense of freedom, as if all his burdens had been lifted.

"Are these the eight sufferings of life: birth, old age, sickness, death, separation from loved ones, encountering those one hates, not getting what one desires, and the burning of the five aggregates..."

What is the meaning of such a life?

As Su Nan lay in her hospital bed, her eyes gradually lost focus.

With each recollection, Su Nan's desire to become a monk grew stronger.

Let go of all this, and you will be free.

The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore.

Su Nan realized that there was something wrong with her thinking.

"I am in the Great Feng World, I am in the Eight Sufferings Formation."

Su Nan's consciousness began to return rapidly.

He realized his situation.

There was always a voice in his ear, tempting him to enter a monastery and seek freedom.

Those with weak will might be swayed and turn to Buddhism.

However, Su Nan's cultivation level was at the peak of the third rank, and his mental capacity was beyond that of ordinary people.

Therefore, he quickly regained his senses after being tempted by the formation.

Is freedom in Buddhism the same as true freedom?

The freedom I seek should not be like this.

Su Nan began to reflect on his experiences over the past twenty years in the Great Feng world.

He thought of his close female friends who were by his side, and the romantic scenes under the flowers and the moon.

This is what he is pursuing.

Su Nan chuckled softly.

"If I were to become a nun, many women would be heartbroken."

"..."

……

While he was experiencing the Eight Tribulations Formation in southern Jiangsu, everyone was watching him closely.

Outsiders simply cannot comprehend what Southern Jiangsu has experienced.

All they could see was Su Nan standing blankly on the stone steps.

His expression changes depending on what he experiences.

Therefore, everyone could see that Su Nan's expression was constantly changing.

"Why isn't Su Zhexian moving? His expression looks strange too."

"Didn't you say you were going to break the formation? Why aren't you moving?"

"I don't feel like anything unusual has happened."

"..."

Because the Eight Sufferings Formation affects the mind, outsiders cannot see into the spiritual world of Su Nan, and therefore cannot empathize with him.

They stared at the motionless Su Nan, filled with confusion.
