Chapter 128: The Wind and Moon of Linzi, Must Adhere to the

ime, the long sword was powerful, and he was caught between advancing and retreating!>"Gentlemen, who has a solution Give it a try!" Wei Yan said in a deep voice: "The situation is urgent and there's...In the East Hua Pavilion, a prolonged silence lingered.

The emperor withdrew his finger and smiled, "Quite the ambitious plan you have there, Jiang Qingyang!"

Underneath the beaded curtain, a shadow seemed to cross his face, that of the overcast sky above this great empire: “It is I! Even I cannot say that everything has gone smoothly, that life has been entirely as I wished.”

Jiang Wangdao: "Your Majesty, I believe that following one's heart and wishes is the most important right. Your Majesty is supreme, with power over the East; your holy heart is identical to Heaven's will. How could there be anything you wouldn't want"

"Those who enjoy first-class privileges must bear first-class responsibilities." The Son of Heaven said: "People, the higher they stand, the farther they see, and the more they think. It is not that you can do whatever you want, as you please. Even a foolish monarch, unrestrained and arbitrary, is a traitorous ruler. Being supported by ten thousand people, how can one not worry about them"

Jiang Wang lowered his eyes and said, "Your servant is short-sighted!"

The Emperor looked at the divine being with a cold smile and said, "You don't think that just because you suffered in the demon realm, I will be lenient with you"

>

Jiang Wangdao: "My subject doesn't understand, my subject only knows that Your Majesty wants to reward the humble minister."

The Son of Heaven let out a cold laugh, then said, "The true way is something one must discover for themselves. However, understanding the underlying principles can be helpful. You, Jiang Qingyang, have done great things for the human race. You have vast knowledge from Master Ku. Feel free to observe and learn!"

As for your request for invincibility, is there truly a way to be invincible in this world There is only the invincible person! Even with all the brilliant strategies in the treasury of the State of Qi, it depends on whether you yourself possess the right qualities.

Jiang Wang thought for a moment, then said: "I should be."

Han Ling stood motionless, his eyes seeming fixed as if contemplating the mysteries of the universe. The emperor remained silent for a moment before saying, "I have a suggestion."

Jiang Wangdao: "Your servant listens attentively."

>

A true hero should learn to face ten thousand enemies! To be the ruler of the world, one must possess military strength. Even a god of war whose prowess is unmatched across the eight directions relies not solely on his fists.The Son of Heaven said: "Shu Yuan, you seem to have some conflict with him. Go to Jue Ming Island. I will have Qi Xiao teach you."

Formerly, Jiang Wang bore the responsibility of being a divine general. After his training at the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons, the emperor decided to have Xiu Yuan take him under his wing, teaching him the art of warfare. After all, he was a military marquis, but only knew how to fight recklessly and was not very skilled.

With all the commotion he's caused in the demon realm, studying military tactics is out of the question now. He's become a top priority target for the demons on any battlefield in the Demon Realm. No amount of military strategy would be helpful.

The emperor ultimately did not want to waste this talented gem. He still hoped to polish it. Jiang Wang had no room for refusal, so he bowed and said, "I am willing to go."

After a while, seeing that the emperor had nothing more to say, he gracefully bowed again and said: "This subject takes his leave."

"Just a moment," the emperor said casually. "Who's on duty at the Hall of Government Affairs" Han Ling only then came to his senses. "It's Ye Hèn Shui, the Minister of State Consultations." The emperor waved his hand dismissively. "Take him away and have him write up his reflections. Follow the old procedure."

Jiang Wang opened his mouth as if to speak, but after some thought, he said nothing and honestly followed Han Ling. After Jiang Wang left, a figure entered from the side hall and sat down facing the emperor.

>

Though he looked kind and gentle, he was none other than the current State Minister Jiang Ru Mo.

The emperor picked up a scroll from beside him, but instead of opening it immediately, he said, "It's not easy. From his physique, I can tell that he is very different from six months ago. Back then, in the demon realm, he must have lived and died countless times."

>

"Marquess Wuan's experience this time is enough to be recorded in history, no one could find fault with it." Jiang Rumo said in a low voice: "But looking at his actions today.... Has Marquess Wuan become a little arrogant"

"He is harboring a grievance," the Son of Heaven stated. "Sometimes, I too contemplate upending everything, disregarding mountains and rivers toppling over. After all, he is a young man brimming with bloodlust, barely past his coming-of-age ceremony... Didn't even the Grand Minister have moments when he desired to disregard everything during his youth"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

At this point, the Emperor laughed to himself: "I had almost forgotten, our Prime Minister is a man with no temper. He never had one when he was younger."

Even Jiang Rumi, who had always been a man of few words, simply said at this time: “Your Majesty has high expectations for Marquis Wuan.” The Qi Emperor calmly said: "I want to achieve an unprecedented feat, how can I not need an unparalleled talent”

Jiang Rumuo sighed, "You are expecting another military god, but Hou Wuan is still young, and I don't know if he can understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts."

"That depends on whether he has a long-term vision." The emperor spoke calmly and said, "If he becomes like Jiang Mengxiong one day, even trampling the capital city will be possible. How difficult would it be to draw his sword in Xinan"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Jiang Ru'mo looked grave, his face etched with worry: "I'm afraid he isn't."

The emperor smiled, opened the scroll in his hand, and began to read it carefully, muttering, "How can all affairs of the world go as I wish"

The Marquis of Wu'an, Qi, who wasn't usually favored by the emperor, had felt unprecedented warmth during his visit to Linzi these days. Not only were visitors constantly coming and going, but there was a constant stream of people at his doorstep.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

...and it is not merely that the poetry sessions continue incessantly, nor that the banquets never cease.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

All four great halls and eight famous buildings are free to all human heroes. They claim "to be immersed in the wind and moon of Linzi, and to experience the joy of Wuan."

Under the name of Yuxing Palace, they even built a beautiful pavilion called Wen Yusui Xie and paid Jiang Jueye to come and perform. Jiange Wuxie declared that "if he could get Jiang Wu'an's light, he would pave the ground with Yuan Shi."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Then, Jiang Wuyou said, "If you have so much money, come to the Huaying Palace." Those famous scholars and reckless youths vied with each other to compose poems for heroes. Those noble ladies went to the Marquis's mansion every day to throw flowers.

The hero's deeds, who ventured into the heartland of the exiled demon clan, yet returned alone with his heart on humanity, were sung by storytellers...

But Jiang Wang went south alone at this time.

It had already been decided that he would go to Jueming Island to follow Qi Xiaodaishuai in his cultivation. Before that, there was still some time left for him to attend to other matters. The Emperor, knowing that he had just returned from the Demon Realm, kindly granted him a vacation.

This journey south was undertaken for two reasons. Firstly, I needed to return the Zhiwen Bell to Mount Sumeru. This relic was a precious treasure bestowed upon me by the Buddha himself during his teachings; keeping it with me felt like carrying hot coals. Secondly, I wanted to personally visit the Duke of Huai's residence and express my deepest gratitude for his kindness and friendship.

>

He originally intended to have Master Kujue deliver this Zhiwen bell back, as a way of repaying him for his repeated rescues. But Master Kujue refused to take it, saying something about the lord of Dong Shengdi not being able to pay homage to the gates of Xi Shengdi.... So he had no choice but to go alone.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The story goes that Master Xingnian's body was burned by the fire of sainthood, and he paved the way for him. This feeling is impossible to forget. Mount Sumeru is located in the southwest and has long been known as a holy land of Buddhism.

It can be said that it has a long history.

Jiang Wang had visited the Southern Regions many times, but it was only by chance that he met Keng.

On this day, I journeyed alone with my sword amidst the mountains. Suddenly, as the sun rose, a monk with striking features appeared.

This monk had a radiant appearance, naturally inspiring trust in others. The only thing was that there was a break in his left eyebrow, adding a touch of coldness to his features.

From afar, he bows: "Could you be the great Qi martial lord, Duke Jiang Wang of the Jiang family"

Jiang Wang knew this was a monk from Mount Sumeru. He bowed respectfully, "My name is Jiang Wang. I don't know your master's dharma name...""The poor monk Zhango," replied the Zen Master politely. Zhango Zen Master was very kind and courteous: "I happened to be coming down the mountain... what a fortunate encounter!"

That just went down the mountain.

>

Before I entered the human world, Master Ku-jue once said that there was a bald man named Zhuo-wu at Mount Xumi. He would always wander around the gate all day long, I don't know how many circles he walked.

Jiang Wang estimated that he had just left Qi Guo when the Zen master Zhāngguó had followed him. Being able to endure until now before coming out, is truly worthy of being a true gentleman with unwavering determination.

He is now a mature man who understands the ways of the world. He sees through things but chooses not to speak out. Instead, he says: "It's indeed a matter of fate that brought us together. I, as a junior, have come to visit Mount Treasure. Senior, if you have the time, would you be willing to guide me"

Zhuo Wu Zen Master busily said, "Free time, free time!"

Once had an encounter with Huang Wei, the most romantic figure in Chu State for three thousand years. Master Zhanshen was also a brilliant scholar at one time. Later, he attained the position of True Monarch and received the fruit position of Bodhisattva. Even on Mount Sumeru, he was considered a master.

Since Jiang Wangli was young and his cultivation was only at the level of Shenlin, Zhi Wenzhong treated him with special favor. Of course, it was all for Zhi Wenzhong's sake. Jiang Wangli did not act arrogantly despite his great potential and still maintained the etiquette of a junior, following closely behind Zhi Wenzhong.

But Zhiwu did not rush to leave. Instead, he turned his palm over and brought forth a miniature mountain. This mountain was filled with spiritual energy, meticulously crafted. Its clouds, forests, and flowers were all incredibly real.

Unfortunately, Jiang Wang did not appreciate the artistry of the sculpture and rather spoiled the mood by asking, "Master, aren't we supposed to be going to Mount Sumeru"

Zhaowo Chan Master smiled serenely, "Mount Sumeru is here!" As he spoke, with a flick of his sleeve, heaven and earth shifted in an instant.

Jiang Wang Shang held his sword, already "in the mountains"! Thousands upon thousands of mountains were before him, Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed!

This is a continuation of the previous text and does not provide any new information. It appears to be a placeholder or incomplete sentence. Please provide more context if you would like me to translate something specific.

A vast sea of clouds stretched endlessly before my eyes, and in the depths of the clouds, a gigantic Buddha platform could be seen. In the center of the platform was a lotus throne, upon which sat a colossal Buddha.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This Buddha's golden body is radiant, with a large belly capable of holding all things, large drooping ears, and a broad face that always smiles. It shines brilliantly and endlessly. No matter which direction you look from, it seems as if you are facing the Buddha directly.

Surrounding this giant Buddha, densely packed were monks from Mount Xumi in meditation. All the monks sat with their faces facing forward.

All, at this moment, bowed their heads together towards Jiang Wang in a gesture of respect!

While Zhiwu Zen Master stepped aside on the side of Yunhai, allowing all the honors and courtesies to go to Jiang Wang. This was the thousand Buddha's salutation, the highest honor from Mount Sumeru!

Since the completion of Mount Sumeru, countless individuals have received this honor. "How can I possibly accept such a gift!"

Jiang Wang hurriedly dodged.

However, he was enlightened by the Zen master's gesture of bowing before him and remained in place.

"The entire Mount Xumi, from the Mountain Master Yongde downwards, all except those guarding the gate are present! All pay respects!" The enlightened being above the clouds on the vast Buddha platform looked at Jiang Wang and said, "We use such etiquette to show Jiang benefactor that we know of your great kindness towards Mount Xumi."

"Ginger, I am ashamed! I truly cannot accept such a great honor!" Ginger looked earnestly and said, "I only managed to survive thanks to the help of Master Xingnian, who gave me a glimmer of hope. I can't claim any credit for it. If you must speak of great kindness, it is Master Xingnian who has shown great kindness to me."

Zhaoguo grabbed his arm and said, "Come with me."

As his words fell, the giant Buddha suddenly raised its hand. Its enormous palm, radiating boundless brilliance, lay flat in the air, facing the heavens and extending towards Jiang Wang.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This is the Buddha revered by Mount Sumeru, the ancestor worshipped, and the supreme path they hold dear! Yet, with a Buddha's palm as a bridge, he guides Jiang Wang to leave the pure land of Mount Sumeru.

Jiang Wang felt deeply embarrassed and thought he was unworthy of such a grand ceremony, yet he was guided onto the Buddha's platform. The endless chanting reverberated in his ears, and at that moment, his heart felt incredibly pure.

Those feelings of frustration, resentment, and suppressed pain that couldn't be released, were washed away instantly!

This road is like a path to the other shore, filled with the radiant splendor of salvation. Yet there are golden lotuses covering the ground, and Buddha's light bathes the body.

A thousand miles begin with a single step, and every step brings change upon the wind and clouds.

After three steps, he had followed Zuo Wu's enlightenment and appeared in a golden and resplendent hall, seemingly boundless and magnificent.

Though it is a hall, it can perceive the vastness of the universe and the immensity of heaven and earth.

Look upward, and you will see the vast expanse of stars. Look downward, and you will behold the ultimate diagram of truth. Look around, and you will find the wisdom of enlightenment and the diamond-like strength of resolve.

In the center of the main hall, the giant Buddha still stands. It holds the sun and moon in its palms, smiling down at all beings.

And a plump monk, who had earlier led the crowd in prayers at Buddha Square, now clad in a brocade cassock, walked up to Jiang Wang with a smile.

Holding Jiang Wang's hand tightly, he said, "I'll wait for you on Mount Xumi for however many years it takes!"

Enlightenment, standing beside him, introduced: "This is the current mountain master of Mount Sumeru, known as Yongde."

Speaking of which, the current abbot of Hanging Temple, Master Kǔmìng, Jiang Wàng has also met. He is a rather plump monk as well.

If "fat and large" is the standard of a saint, then most senior predecessors would probably have a hard time fulfilling it.

Although both masters were rather "plump," their faces told a different story. Master Ku-ming and Master Yongde represented two extremes.

The Master of Misfortune lived up to his name, truly suffering beyond measure. He was always wearing a face full of sorrow, looking deeply troubled and heartbroken.

Yongde Chan Master was beaming, a radiant smile stretched across his face. It seemed like he had so many happy things going on, happiness that simply overflowed. Like at this moment, he took Jiang Wang's hand, smiling and revealing eight pearly white and round teeth. He was incredibly kind, not at all like it was their first meeting.

"How many years should you wait Where do I even begin" Jiang Wang questioned, confused.

Everlasting De cordially grasped his hand, gripping it repeatedly: "You and I have Buddha's affinity, a great affinity! I wonder if you are interested in becoming my disciple That way, I can pass on my divine powers and have someone to succeed me!"

Zhaowo stood beside him, explaining at the right moment: “Yongdeshan’s master specializes in the *The Coming of Maitreya*, his cultivation base reaches heaven and earth. He sits in meditation for five hundred years above and five hundred years below. By the way, this is a genuine copy of the sutra... you understand what I mean”

These monks from Mount Xumi are so straightforward, it really makes Jiang Wang uncomfortable. He stammered: "I just came...to return the bell."

Everde glanced at the Zhiwen Bell in Jiang Wang's hand and said with a smile, "Is this bell useful" Recalling the scene of himself wielding the Zhiwen Bell to sweep across all the demon kings, he still felt exhilarated.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang said sincerely: "It's truly a treasure!"

Eternal Virtue Dao said, "You are a king of nations, with an extremely deep background. This bell was obtained from the demon race. If you insist on keeping it, even Mount Sumeru would not be able to do anything to you. Why come back to return the bell"

Jiang Wang remained silent for a moment before finally saying, "The warmth of Master Zhong Shangxing's meditation is still palpable." Zhao Wu raised his gaze to the starry sky, lost in contemplation.

Eternal Master Yongde also said, "Did Kujue give you a list" From the mountain master's tone of voice, it seems that Senior Kujue is truly well-known.

"Jiang Wangcheng said earnestly: 'My coming to Mount Xumi is to fulfill the last wish of Master Nian Zen, to return the Buddha's treasure, and I have no other requests.'"

Yung-Te Tao said: "Dharma is not lightly transmitted; if transmitted, it is spread with gold bricks paving the ground. If you come to Mount Sumeru and gain nothing, then know where the value of hearing the bell lies."

Before Jiang Wang could speak, Yong De continued, "Ku Jue doesn't really understand my Mount Xumi. He doesn't even understand the Hanging Cloud Temple very well. He's just stubborn and insistent... The list he made only scratches the surface. If you come to Mount Xumi with me, I can show you some truly good things."

During their conversation, Yongde looked again at Zhao Wu and said, "I think if Jiang Shishu entered Mount Sumeru, he could be in charge of the Bell of All Knowledge. What do you think, Master Uncle"

Zhuo Wu was astonished: "How could this be The Chi Wen Zhong is a priceless treasure of our mountain gate, left behind by the Buddha himself. Throughout history, only the Mountain Master has been allowed to wield it!"

"Why not" Yongde roared, "This Zhiwen Bell was brought back by Jiang Shizhu, indicating a profound connection with Buddhism! Master Xingnian's cultivation is unparalleled, seeing cause and effect clearly. By entrusting the Zhiwen Bell, he demonstrates his status as the one from the future!"

Zhaoguo gritted his teeth and dissuaded him: "Important matters of the mountain gate cannot be taken lightly! How can someone who just enters be allowed to know the time bell There has been no such precedent in history! If the abbot insists on doing so, where will we stop the endless chatter of others!"

Yong De argued his point: "Then I shall pass on the mantle to him and nurture him to be the next mountain master! Anyone who has an objection, please come find me!"

"I disagree!" "You have no say!"

The more they argued, the more heated things became. They were red in the face and arguing loudly. But as they continued to argue, they noticed that Jiang Wang remained silent throughout. They all turned their attention to him.

Zhàoguò Chán shī qīng kē yī shēng: "Gāng xiǎo shīzhǔ, nǐ shì zěnmeyàng xiǎng de, bù fáng zhíyán."

This translates to:

Enlightenment Master Zhàoguò lightly coughed: "Young lay disciple Jiang, how do you feel Just speak your mind."

Jiang Wang bowed respectfully and said, "A gentleman abstains from three things: greed being one of them. If I were to come because of greed, I fear even the blessings of Mount Sumeru would not be enough for me."

Yǒngdé and Zhàowù looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Jiang Wang removed the Zhiwen clock from her wrist, holding it in both hands with utmost reverence and placing it gently into Yong De's palm. "This treasure returns to its rightful owner. Jiang Wang has fulfilled her promise to Tianhe, and my heart is at peace."

"If you absolutely must give me something, Mount Sumeru," "Then please recite the scripture of rebirth for me."

"The path to the demon world is long, and souls find no rest. I was lucky enough to return, but many others never will."rally wouldn't treat himself poorly, so this was also one of the best wine shops in the highest royal court.Jiang Wang walked swaggeringly into the tavern, carrying a wine jar in one hand and with a l...
