Zhengshan Mingwang, also known as "Zhengshan Xiaomingwang", is the incarnation of the god of the Dainichi sect and the master of the Dainichi religion in Xiniuhezhou.

There are eight great Vidyarajas in Buddhism, but under these eight great Vidyarajas, there are many lesser Vidyarajas.

The Little Ming King came to the world as the supreme ruler and led the followers of the religion. He was equivalent to the spokesperson and decision-maker of the Mahavairocana sect in the world.

Therefore, the 'Shoshan Myowang' mentioned by Anya is the venerable master of all the Mahavairocana sect in Xiniuhezhou, and the Huayan Temple where Shoshan Myowang resides is the ancestral temple of all the Mahavairocana disciples.

Therefore, whenever there was an important celebration at the Huayan Temple, the Mahavairocana Buddhist temples in various parts of Xiniuhezhou would send disciples to present treasures as tribute to Zhengshan Mingwang.

When the young monks who were carrying the Three Treasures Jade Box engraved with a lion arrived at Hualing City, the mayor of Hualing City immediately received them with the highest etiquette and arranged accommodation for the young monks in the mayor's mansion.

The Huoxunyan family was a famous wealthy family in Hualing City, so when the mayor of Hualing City held a banquet for the young monks, they were naturally among the invited guests.

Huo Xunyan also came to the City Lord's Mansion with his parents to attend the vegetarian banquet. At the same time, Huo Xunyan also met this group of young monks.

There were five young monks in this group. Each of them wore a white monk's robe and had a delicate face and was very handsome.

Huo Xunyan was not a cultivator, so he naturally didn't know that each of these five little monks had reached the Baodan realm.

But what Huo Xunyan knew was that they were the team of young monks that Anya had mentioned.

Because the mayor of Hualing City just asked out of curiosity, they took out the "Three Treasures Jade Box with Lions Engraved on it" from the treasure niche and showed it to the mayor.

When the three-treasure jade box engraved with a lion was opened, a brilliant fairy light suddenly illuminated the entire banquet hall. The fairy light enveloped everyone, making them feel incomparably ethereal and comfortable.

Huo Xunyan also felt it. It was a feeling that both his body and soul were cleansed, making him feel as if he was floating in the sky.

But soon, the young monk in charge of the display closed the jade box, and the fairy light that enveloped everyone disappeared instantly.

Huo Xunyan immediately felt as if he had fallen from the sky to the ground, as if he had returned to the human world from the fairyland.

Huo Xunyan looked up and found that everyone present had a feeling of loss on their face.

"This thing is called 'Three Treasures Golden Lotus Seed'. It is produced by the Three Treasures Golden Lotus. It takes one hundred thousand years to produce this lotus seed. This is the time when it will bear fruit. The abbot must offer it to the Mingwang for his enjoyment." The leading novice monk said to the city lord with a smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Hualing City said, "Only a virtuous king like the King of Wisdom can enjoy such a treasure."

The novice monks nodded and put their hands together, then put the three-treasure jade box engraved with a lion back into the shrine.

The shrine was like a shrine, with golden pagodas standing on both sides, engraved with majestic Buddha statues and densely packed scriptures. On the top was a canopy pagoda, on which were flashes of spiritual light.

The reason why the three-treasure jade box engraved with a lion is placed in the treasure niche is because the treasures offered to the Ming King cannot be placed in clothes or storage bags. They must be held, carried on the back, or lifted to show respect for the Ming King. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful.

As the vegetarian banquet came to an end, the Lord of Hualing City looked at each other and everyone present, except Huo Xunyan, had a mysterious smile on their faces.

The next moment, the Lord of Hualing City addressed the five young novices, "Five masters, my wife and daughters are deeply devout to the Mahavairocana Buddha and diligently study Mahavairocana Buddhism. However, they have encountered some obstacles and are unable to attain enlightenment. I beg the five masters to show mercy and grant enlightenment and empowerment to my wife and daughters, and grant them the grace of universal salvation."

As soon as the Lord of Hualing City finished speaking, many of the wealthy men present at the scene began to speak, "We also ask the five masters to show their great mercy, offer enlightenment and empowerment, and grant us the grace of universal salvation."

Huo Xunyan's father Huo Xun'an and his mother Mi He looked at each other, and then Huo Xun'an repeated the above words to the five little monks.

The five young novices smiled, clasped their hands together, and showed compassion. The leading novices said, "It is rare that you all have such sincere faith in the Dharma. We will certainly give you the empowerment and enlightenment."

"Good." The Lord of Hualing City clapped his hands and smiled, "I have arranged meditation rooms for the five masters. When can the five masters receive the initiation and enlightenment?"

The five young monks looked at each other and said, "We don't have much time to wait, so the sooner the better."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Hualing City immediately called five maids and took the five little monks to the meditation room that had been arranged in advance.

The city lord's wife, his daughters, and all the women present stood up and left the hall, led by the five maids who had taken the young monks to the meditation rooms, and went to the five meditation rooms respectively.

The three-treasure jade box engraved with a lion was sent to the Dharma temple in the city lord's mansion dedicated to Vairocana Buddha, and was heavily guarded by the Hualing City Lord.

The five young monks and the women left, and the men began to drink and chat in the main hall. Only Huo Xunyan looked at his mother leaving in confusion. He asked his father Huo Xunan, "Dad, where did Mom go?"

Huo Xun'an smiled slightly and said, "Your mother has been studying Buddhism recently and has many questions. She went to ask the master for advice."

"Oh." Huo Xunyan nodded. It was very normal for the mortals in Xiniu Hezhou to believe in Buddhism, so he didn't doubt it too much.

What Huo Xunyan was concerned about was the Three Treasures Jade Box engraved with a lion that was sent to the Dharma Temple in the City Lord's Mansion. Although the City Lord Hualing had sent heavy troops to guard it, it was much easier for Huo Xunyan to steal the Three Treasures Jade Box engraved with a lion from under the noses of those soldiers than from the hands of those masters.
