Chapter 173 Entering the Palace
"drive!"
Dada dada...
The horse's hooves were churning, and several fast horses ran across Guan Street, leaving Jianchunmen all the way out to the east of the city. The leader of the knight waved his long whip and roared:
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Xilulu
The horses flew over and waited to check on the people entering the city. The businessmen lost their things and dodged to the side. The sound of horse hooves passed by, and they got up from the ground in a mess. Looking at the fast horses rushing out of the city gate, they whispered.
"Run so fast, I'm rushing to reincarnate. I almost bumped into me, but fortunately I was avoiding quickly!"
"You're not afraid of hitting and killing people, these guys."
The sky darkened, and the official road stretched for more than ten miles. The galloping horses grabbed the nearby forest road. A bird flew in shock and circled. Several people walked through the forest and saw a circular altar standing in the field from afar.
"Well!!"
On the horse in the lead, one of them looked blue and white and thin. He slightly raised his thin iron gloves and asked the subordinates who followed him to dismount.
"Don't make noise, so as not to disturb the practice of Dharma!"
After getting off the horse's back, my green and white face looked around. Weeds were overgrown, fog spread, and the sun shining on my body could not feel much temperature.
"It's really strange. It's very hot, why is it so cold here?"
Walking through the white rock steps with the big red characters "Pudu Cihang" engraved, the blue and white faces knocked on the red door, and the long altar courtyard wall was painted snow-white. Because it was only completed last year, there was no trace of dust on it.
Just as he looked around, a creaking sound was heard, and the door suddenly cracked open. The green-white face asked his subordinates to follow him and walked in carefully.
"Fa Zhang!"
Entering inside, there is a circular altar. The surrounding viewing seats are like stone steps rising one after another. At each position, there is an eternal light on.
"Commander, this is so weird."
Following Qingbai Face, a man spoke in fear. Qingbai Face, who was moving forward, turned his face slightly and lowered his voice: "This is the altar. Do you think it is an ordinary temple? Don't talk nonsense, be careful to collide with the Dharma."
"yes."
The man responded quickly and the moment he went over to see the center of the altar, a black shadow suddenly flashed across the entrance and exit in front, and a woman holding a staff with a black gauze and a high bun walked out expressionlessly.
He bowed to the five people.
"Good, good, the five bodies have murderous aura, and they should not enter the house to see the Dharma."
Qingbaifang saw that it was the maid next to the Dharma Champion, and he felt relieved and hurriedly bowed:
"We are here at the emperor's order. Your Majesty wants to invite the Dharma to enter the palace."
The maid lowered her head without moving. After a long time, she said softly: "Stop." She turned around and walked into the magic seal. The wind roared, and the surroundings were pitch black, with only a few big red lanterns hanging nearby.
In the swaying red lights, a gauze curtain was stroking, and a thin body could be seen sitting cross-legged. Perhaps he could hear footsteps, his closed eyes slightly opened and his mouth was stuttering.
"What's going on outside?"
The maid came over and bowed her head with her seal: "Your Majesty sent someone to invite the Dharma to enter the palace."
In the curtain, Pudu Cihang did not respond, and his eyes closed again, and his mysterious energy of the alchemy tripod was one last step away.
There was a rustling noise around, and a series of figures walked into the lantern area and silently lifted the crane-headed lotus sedan chair, forming a "long dragon".
The five people outside stood respectfully. When they watched the team walking out of the inside, they hurriedly lowered their faces and did not dare to look directly. When the sedan chair stopped in front of them, they heard a cold female voice coming.
"Your Majesty is the blessing of all people. You will be rewarded with great blessings when you are close to you."
Qingbai's face looked happy and bowed, and the four people behind him quickly learned to speak:
"Thank you for blessings from Fa Zhang."
In the curtain, Pudu Cihang nodded his head with his seal and the sedan chair set off again. The golden cymbals, chimes, and wooden fish ring the Buddha's voice. After passing the temple, he went straight out of the gate and left the five people who stayed in the temple congratulated each other.
"Now, we are valued by the Dharma Master. We will definitely be promoted! Let's go back and report to His Majesty first."
"Come out to play at night?"
"Haha, this is the right one, just congratulate the commander!"
Qingbai faced her back with one hand, and listened to the congratulations of the four of her subordinates. She smiled slightly and was about to let them leave when they suddenly stopped and their ears trembled.
hiss
The sound of insects came faintly, and the four people who had walked a few steps in front turned around, with a smile on their faces.
"Commander, why don't you leave?"
The next second, the loose soil broke open, and several black shadows broke through the ground. In the blue-white vision, the black shadows opened and closed like clamps, and instantly bit the back of the four people's necks. The four people were pulled into the ground before they could even say anything.
Watching the plasma leaching out of the soil and surging outward, the green-white face stepped back a few steps back. The sound of breaking through the air came from behind his head. He roared "ah" and squeezed his fists tightly, turning around and punched him.
Bang!
The fist hit the hard shell, and the sparks jumped out. Only then did the green face see clearly that a long worm as thick as a human waist waved its tentacles. It didn't succeed in one blow, twisting its long body, causing a fishy storm, and crawling into the ground in a blink of an eye.
"What kind of demons and monsters!"
Even though he was very skilled in martial arts, Qingbai's face was still very scared. When he thought that this was the altar, this matter must be related to the Dharma. Even though he had done something for the Dharma, it seems that the other party is going to kill him.
"No, Fazhang wants to enter the palace..."
The thought flashed, and the green-white face took a step and ran towards the gate. As soon as he took two steps, the ground collapsed with a bang, and a sharp pain came from his ankle. The mouthpart like a pliers bit there, and when he dragged it down, half of his body fell.
"Monster!!" Qingbai's face was covered in blood and slammed his fist.
At this time, the soil on the other side broke open, and a black shadow swam in, quietly biting the back of the struggling person.
puff!
Blood mist was filled with it, and a pool of blood splattered onto the nearby observation platform. In the swaying torch light, half of the figure sneaked into the soil, and a series of organs were pulled out...
Bang.
The hollowed-out corpse was thrown away and landed on the altar. A woman with a cassock came over and sat cross-legged behind the eternal lamp. Her face was peaceful, as if she closed her eyes and entered into a meditation.
...
At the Tianzhi Palace, late at night, the emperor stood outside Chengyun Palace, walking back and forth, standing on the side of the stone-carved eaves column, stretching his neck from time to time, looking into the distance palace road, seeing no one coming, he pinched his fist and smashed it in his palm.
"Why haven't Fazhang come yet?"
No one dared to answer the eunuchs around him, and a little eunuch suddenly raised his head, his eyes lit up, and he ran behind the emperor.
He bowed his head, his tone was quite excited.
"Your Majesty, the Dharma is here!"
When Chen Shubao turned around, he saw a team of palace roads spreading. The sound of Buddha surrounds the emperor quickly walked down the stone steps and greeted him.
"Fa Zhang!"
The slowly coming team stopped, and the crane-headed lotus Dharma steward fell to the ground in the middle, the curtain was lifted, and a skinny old monk wearing a golden cassock and a long-eared monk hat came over with the petals.
Put your hands together and bow your head: "Your Majesty."
"The law does not need to be too polite. Come with me to the palace and speak."
Chen Shubao waved to the eunuch maids around him, made a gesture of invitation, and walked into Chengyun Hall with Pudu Cihang. After asking the attendants to retreat, he spoke up and talked about the reason.
"I sent 30,000 soldiers to return without success. Lu Liangsheng had a profound magical power and drove all kinds of fierce monsters to guard the important roads of Qixia Mountain. He was simply in a position to break up my country. Fazhang would help me no matter what.
The hall was brightly lit, and the old monk sitting on one side listened expressionlessly. After the emperor finished speaking, he slowly opened his eyes, as if he was looking at Chen Shubao without any interest without a trace of dragon energy.
"Father!"
At this time, a childish voice came from outside the hall gate. Chen Jing, with the support of the eunuch, walked into the door and saw an old monk. His little face was stunned for a moment and bowed respectfully.
"I've seen Fazhang."
Pudu Cihang, who had already closed his eyes and entered into meditation again, opened his eyes again, and looked at the young man at the door for a while, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Why did Jing'er come?"
"Mom said, let Jing'er come over to pay tribute to her father and let you rest early."
"Well, you go back first, I have something to talk about with Fazhang."
After the father and son finished speaking, the gate of the hall was closed again, and the thin body in front of the hall pillar stood up from the table. When the fire was clearly extinguished, the female voice sounded coldly from Pudu Cihang's mouth.
"Your Majesty, this Dharma Master will live in the palace and you will definitely ensure that Your Majesty is safe."
"Very good!"
