Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years
Chapter 110 - Shijun was Actually Hongwu’s TeacherChapter 110 Shijun was Actually Hongwu’s Teacher
The next morning.
Wu Yin from Fengzhou came to visit Cui Heng. In terms of official position and authority, he was above Cui Heng, but his attitude was very humble.
After seeing Cui Heng, Wu Yin directly bowed and said, “This lowly official greets Shijun.”
Shijun was an honorific title used in ancient times to refer to a civil governor of a province.
As a Governor from Fengzhou, addressing Cui Heng like that was obviously that he wanted to acknowledge him as the State Overseer of Fengzhou.
“There’s no need to be so polite.” Cui Heng gestured for Wu Yin to stand up. He did not emphasize that he was not the State Overseer of Fengzhou yet. He smiled and said, “You travelled thousands of miles here. What’s the matter?”
“To find a wise ruler for Fengzhou.” Wu Yin’s expression was solemn as he said seriously, “I followed Sir Chen all the way here. What I saw and heard in Lu County was like a paradise, completely different from the chaotic world outside.
“Those who plow have their own fields, everyone in the city has their own houses, those who work have their own assets. Every family has surplus food, and the people live and work in peace. There are no overbearing families or sects strutting around domineeringly. This is a rare place in the world. Please be the State Overseer of Fengzhou and save the people of Fengzhou from the fire and water of this world.”
“I’ve already made up my mind to become the State Overseer of Fengzhou.” Cui Heng nodded lightly and smiled. “However, I’m still lacking a condition, which is the letter of appointment by a current State Overseer.” “I can help you resolve this matter,” Wu Yin immediately said when he heard this. “My elder brother is the current State Overseer of Jingzhou. He can represent the Imperial Court and nominate you as the State Overseer of Fengzhou.”
“Great! You have my thanks.” Cui Heng smiled.
At this point, his procedures for becoming the State Overseer of Fengzhou were already complete. He only needed to write the form and when Zhang Shuming arrived, he could directly head to the Changfeng Prefecture to take up his post.
“It’s the people of Fengzhou who should thank you, Shijun.” Wu Yin bowed again and said very humbly, “I’ve been having a question recently. I wonder if I should ask it.”
“Just say it.” Cui Heng nodded.
“The style of governance of this county is similar to that of Heavenly King Hongwu 300 years ago…” Wu Yin paused and took a deep breath.” May I ask if you’ve seen the Great Harmony Collection?”
In the eyes of most people, there was not much difference between 280 years ago and 300 years ago. When they spoke, they would not deliberately differentiate.
“Oh?” Cui Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled. “You actually know about the Great Harmony Collection?”
“I happened to obtain one or two incomplete chapters, and every single word inside are the truth!” Wu Yin’s eyes lit up as he looked at Cui Heng with incomparable desire. “Lord, how many chapters do you have?”
“If you want to see it, I can give you the entire book.” Cui Heng smiled and silently collected the yellow light from Wu Yin’s body.
This was the yellow light produced by desire.
Although he did not have a ready-made Great Harmony Collection on hand, it was no trouble for him to write one now. It was undoubtedly a good thing to be able to spread such thoughts.
“The… the entire book?!” Wu Yin was so excited that his body was trembling. He said with a trembling voice, “Ever since Heavenly King Hongwu disappeared 300 years ago, the Great Harmony Collection has been sealed away by the Imperial Court. It’s difficult to find a single chapter in the world. You actually have the entire book here. No wonder you can govern so perfectly…”
He was obviously extremely excited, and his face was slightly red.
“Haha, there’s no need to be so agitated.” Cui Heng’s voice contained Dharmic powers, calming Wu Yin’s agitated emotions. He smiled and said, “I’ll get Liu Litao to send the entire Great Unity Collection over in the afternoon.”
“Thank you, Lord!” Wu Yin knelt down with a plop, his heart incomparably excited.
Ever since he came into contact with the Great Unity Collection, he had treated the theories within it as a treasure and had been painstakingly searching for the remaining fragments, but he had never gained anything.
He did not expect to obtain the entire book this time!
After returning to his residence, Wu Yin waited anxiously.
He was not even in the mood to sit and wait. He kept walking around the room of the inn, constantly twiddling the fingers of his other hand. He was clearly in a hurry and could not wait to see the entire Great Harmony Collection.
Finally, after a series of knocks on the door, Wu Yin saw Liu Litao coming in, and also the complete volume of the Great Harmony Collection that he had dreamed of.
However, when he saw the cover, he could not help but be stunned.
This Great Harmony Collection was actually a brand new book cover. The ink on it seemed to have just dried. Could it have just been written?!
“Governor Liu, did Shijun copy this?” Wu Yin could not help but ask.
“That’s right, it’s written by Lord Governor.” Liu Litao handed the book to Wu Yin. “Please peruse at ease. I still have something to deal with, so I’ll take my leave first.”
“Thank you.” Wu Yin thanked Liu Litao and closed the door. He carefully carried the book to the table with both hands.
“Sigh, I’m thinking too much. Even if Shijun is willing to lend me the precious book, he wouldn’t give me the original copy. I wonder if there’s any difference between the original version and the copied one.”
Wu Yin adjusted his emotions and looked at the words “Great Harmony Collections on the cover. He couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. “These three words are similar to the handwriting of Heavenly King Hongwu. They’re really too similar.”
“It seems that the one in my hands should be a copy of the original. Moreover, looking at the handwriting, it seems like Shijun normally likes to practice the calligraphy of this style, learning such elegant handwriting.”
Back then, when Heavenly King Hongwu appeared out of nowhere, the Great Harmony Collection also became popular.
Over the years, it has been copied countless times. The versions were naturally different, and the handwriting was also not comparable.
The original and copied versions were all extremely rare treasures.
The remnant chapters in Wu Yin’s hand were considered a treasure among treasures-it was the remnant pieces of the original Great Harmony Collection that Cui Heng had given to Hong Fugui!
That was why he thought that the book in Cui Heng’s hand was not the original.
The first book is already incomplete now.
The complete book no longer existed.
However, the more Wu Yin looked at the copied Great Harmony Collection that he had just received, the more he felt that something was wrong. He muttered, “Why does it look so similar? It doesn’t even look like a copy!”
The handwriting on the Great Harmony Collection had been copied and imitated by him for 20 years.
He persevered every day and never stopped.
Although he still felt that he had not reached the same level of charm, he was already extremely familiar with this handwriting.
When he closed his eyes, all the details of this handwriting could instantly appear in his mind.
Even if the handwriting was similar, he could quickly determine that it was not an authentic work but a copy.
“They’re too similar. They’re really too similar. The two are simply identical. The characteristics of the brush strokes and these details are actually… actually exactly the same?!”
Wu Yin was shocked to the extreme and stood up.
He looked at the Great Harmony Collection that Cui Heng had just copied on the table in disbelief.
This did not look like a copied version at all. It was simply a reproduction of the original!
“How is that possible? It’s been nearly 300 years since it was created. The author should have passed away long ago.” Wu Yin closed his eyes and shook his head, planning to shake off this thought.
However, as long as he opened his eyes and saw the words on the Great Harmony Collection, he would immediately correspond these words to the extremely familiar handwriting in his mind.
His rationality told him that this was undoubtedly the real work.
“No, that’s not right!” Wu Yin suddenly jolted. He thought of something. “It’s said that the Great Harmony Collection was a technique that Heavenly King Hongwu obtained from an Immortal when he entered an Immortal mountain accidentally when he was young
“Although not many people believe this theory, and they just feel that the author doesn’t want to reveal his identity, what if it’s true? What if the person who wrote the Great Harmony Collection is really not a mortal?”
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the Lu County’s Governor’s Office as he muttered, “On my way here, be it the various counties below or when I came to the county capital, many people are saying that Lord Cui is a living immortal.
There are also many commoners who say that he can summon the wind and rain and cause the earth to collapse. He’s an Immortal God with great divine powers. Could it be that all of this is actually true? If this is true, then this book seems to explain…”
Thinking up to this point, he was instantly stunned on the spot. He muttered, “Shijun, are you the Immortal God who taught Heavenly King Hongwu the method to save the world? Are you Heavenly King Hongwu’s master?”
“I, I actually met the author of the Great Harmony Collection?! If this is true, if Shijun is really… then Heavenly King Hongwu might really be able to reappear in the world!”
When Wu Yin thought of this, he suddenly knelt down in the direction of the Governor’s Office and said respectfully, “I will follow your governance, starting from Fengzhou. From now on, I, Wu Yin, am willing to sacrifice my life for you!”
….
While Wu Yin was painstakingly studying the Great Harmony Collection and Cui Heng was preparing to take over the position of State Overseer. Hui Shi and Zhou Hongyi had already arrived at the border of Yuzhou and Yongzhou.
The two of them chose a remote mountainous area. Other than a few small mountain villages within a 100-mile radius, there was only a small sect with a Grandmaster as the strongest.
They opened the lacquered box in the middle of the mountainous area and injected their True Qi into the Bodhisattva Jade Bone made of chicken bones according to the method Cui Heng had taught them.
In an instant, a pillar of light that was 1,000 feet thick appeared on the fist-sized Bodhisattva’s jade bones. An extremely pure Buddhist light of compassion shot into the sky, as if it was connected to the world.
Moreover, above the clouds, the phantom of a Bodhisattva sitting on a lotus platform appeared. The image could be seen clearly for hundreds of kilometers. There was even a Buddhist chant echoing between the heavens and the earth, spreading for thousands of kilometers.
This scene was as if a Bodhisattva from the Upper World had descended here.
The small sect closest to them was dumbfounded. Everyone looked at the shocking phenomenon not far from them with their mouths agape, but no one dared to go over to investigate.
With such a rare treasure appearing, wouldn’t a small family be courting death by sticking their heads out first?
At the same time
Monk Kong Ci, who had just walked down the Golden Light Mountain and left the Baolin Buddhist Hall, intending to head to Lu County in Fengzhou, stopped in his tracks. He looked at the distant sky with a dull gaze and said in shock, “Bodhisattva Jade Bone?!”
Zhang Shuming, the Sect Master of Daoyi Palace, who had just walked out of Yongzhou and arrived in Yuzhou, was also stunned.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at the Bodhisattva’s phantom in the sky in disbelief. He smacked his lips and muttered, “Are you kidding me? Where did this Bodhisattva Jade Bone come from?!”
In addition, in Yuzhou and Yongzhou, sects and families of various sizes also saw the phenomenon in the sky.
They were all alarmed.
The phenomenon of the Bodhisattva Jade Bone appearing in the world was world-shaking. It was impossible to hide it.
This news spread everywhere at an extremely fast speed.
Countless martial artists moved when they heard the news.
Regardless of whether they had the qualifications to snatch it or not, they all ran to the mountainous border.
Even Monk Kong Ci, who had planned to go to Lu County in Fengzhou, stayed behind.
He received a new order instantly. He stopped everything he was doing and tried his best to snatch the Bodhisattva Jade Bone.
Only Zhang Shuming was not affected by this sudden event and continued walking towards Fengzhou.
The 31st year of the Great Jin, autumn.
At the border of Yongyu, a Bodhisattva’s Jade Bone appeared, shaking the world!
