Chapter 68: One Point Part Two
Fang Jie took out the tobacco pipe from a small deerskin bag hanging on his belt, lit it up, and smoked it before saying, “She wants to see me not because I’m handsome. Even if I’m only thinking with my butt, I can imagine how much frustration and hatred she has toward me. If all that emotion could be turned into a weapon, I would be chopped into meat paste even if I’m thousands of kilometers away. What is her name again?”
“Mo Ningzhi.”
“It is a beautiful name; is she pretty?”
“She is gorgeous.”
“Then I need to be even more careful. Perhaps I need to act extremely low-key around her. She is gorgeous and is a genius. She is now a disciple of the Leader of Daoism, and she will probably be a fearsome level 9 master in ten years. How can I live?”
Chen Qingshan smiled but didn’t say anything.
The young man who sat on the tree branch and had the tobacco pipe in his mouth while squinting looked quite strange… like a monster.
…
The officials of the Ministry of Rites who were in charge of receiving Spiritual Master Xiao were waiting for them at the Seeing-Off Pavilion 15 kilometers to the south of Chang’an. These officials didn’t have high ranks; the highest rank among them was rank 5. However, not many people in the world could get this treatment where officials of the Ministry of Rites came out of Chang’an to receive them.
When Murong Chi, the Emperor of Southern Yan, came to Great Sui to hand in his submission letter, officials of the Ministry of Rites only waited for him at a gate of Chang’an.
Even though Spiritual Master Xiao wasn’t insanely powerful, he represented the face of Great Sui in some perspectives. Therefore, the Ministry of Rites needed to be cautious.
The Mongo-Yuan Empire had the Buddhist Sect and Great Wheel Wisdom King in Great Wheel Temple on Great Snow Mountain, so Emperor Yang Yi allowed Great Sui to have the Daoist Sect and Spiritual Master Xiao in One Qi Daoist Temple on Pure Joy Mountain.
Since this was a flag that the Emperor of Great Sui put up, the officials of the Ministry of Rites didn’t dare to disrespect this force.
This time, the Emperor issued an edict and invited Spiritual Master Xiao to come to Chang’an and watch the entrance exam of the Martial Arts Academy; Spiritual Master Xiao was invited and not summoned. The Emperor used such a word; how could the officials not understand the underlying meaning?
As a result, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were respectful toward Spiritual Master Xiao.
Although the Emperor propped up a sect, he couldn’t appoint a random leader and make it a success. It was hard to tell if the tale of peach flowers blooming in one night and peaches ripening in another on Pure Joy Mountain was real or not, it became a miracle since it had fooled most of the citizens of Great Sui. Other people might not have this ability.
Fang Jie and Da Quan saw the officials of the Ministry of Rites leaving Chang’an in the morning, and those people were now going back while accompanying a horse-drawn carriage.
Fang Jie couldn’t help but praise, “This is the presence of the Leader of Daoism. Small rank 5 and rank 6 officials aren’t qualified to get on his horse-drawn carriage.”
Da Quan pouted and said, “Do you know that even if the Khagan of Mongo-Yuan wants to go to Great Wheel Temple, he has to get up the mountain by bowing every three steps and kowtowing every nine steps? The Great Wheel Wisdom King could make someone a ruler by pointing his finger, and he could turn a ruler into an ordinary figure by pointing his finger again. That is true power. Spiritual Master Xiao’s presence is lackluster compared to that of the Great Wheel Wisdom King. When the Great Wheel Wisdom King travels, 3,000 golden monk soldiers would guard him, and all four heavenly lords would accompany him. Flower petals would be scattered on the path for thousands of kilometers, and residents and officials would kneel and fill the entire grassland!”
Chen Qingshan said casually, “It is because the Buddhist Sect has been around for a long time. If the Daoist Sect can survive for hundreds of years, the Leader of Daoism will probably be worshipped the same way, and this person can probably appoint people to become emperors.”
“No,” Fang Jie said while shaking his head, “As long as Great Sui doesn’t fall, the Daoist Sect won’t reach that level of glory, unless the Daoist Sect moves out of Great Sui and gets a piece of the pie from the control that the Buddhist Sect has.”
“Mo Ningzhi.”
“It is a beautiful name; is she pretty?”
“She is gorgeous.”
“Then I need to be even more careful. Perhaps I need to act extremely low-key around her. She is gorgeous and is a genius. She is now a disciple of the Leader of Daoism, and she will probably be a fearsome level 9 master in ten years. How can I live?”
