[Chapter 26 - A Return to the King's City] This is the Bodhicitta Sutra

Cai Tian hurried over, and saw that the wooden house was almost burned out, and if the old man had not escaped, he was afraid that even the bones would have been burned to the ground. Chapters are updated the fastest

Thousands of calculations have been made to hide people here, and everything will be fine if they are not found, but they have not calculated that this will happen. Caitian was so anxious that he sighed again and again, turned around and wanted to go back to Zhuang to return to Lan Ji, but the back of his neck was cold.

"Who are you looking for here?" Duan Baiyue's voice was cold.

"King of the Southwest?" Caitian was extremely surprised, and he wanted to turn back but was afraid of the cold blade, so he forced himself to calm down, "If the king of the southwest wants someone, even if he takes it away, the servant will never dare to complain." ”

"You don't seem to have heard the king's question." Duan Baiyue was impatient, and her subordinates had three more points.

"Yes." Cai Tian raised his head and didn't dare to move a single bit, "Wood idiot old man." ”

"Why did the Heavenly Brake Sect arrest him?" Duan Baiyue asked again.

Cai Tian said: "Because the sect leader wants to make a secret weapon, it is called a thousand loops, and the old man is the best craftsman in this world. ”

"Who else knows about this?" Duan Baiyue said.

Caitian replied: "There are only Tiansha sect members. ”

Duan Baiyue closed the knife back into the sheath, and before Cai Tian could breathe a sigh of relief, he was stuck in his neck again, and he didn't know what to stuff in his mouth, and it instantly turned into a sweet and greasy piece.

Duan Baiyue let go of her hand and threw her aside.

Caitian blushed and coughed desperately, trying to spit it out.

"I won't kill you." Duan Baiyue said, "The last question, the last thing, after you have done it, this king will give you the antidote." ”

"What's the problem?" Compared with the Tiansha Sect, the Gu poison in the Southwest Mansion will only be surpassed, and Caitian will not dare to despise it.

Duan Baiyue said: "Why does Lan Ji want to make a thousand rings? ”

Caitian said: "The sect leader met a stranger and said that he had a miracle medicine that could rejuvenate a woman's skin. And if you want a recipe, you have to exchange it for a thousand rings, and said that the only people in this world who know a thousand rings should be the old man who is a wood idiot. ”

Duan Baiyue was a little surprised, he was like a ghost wooden box before, and he wanted to sell it to Nanyang to make money, but he didn't expect it to be just for a prescription.

"That alien gave the sect leader half a year, saying that once he got the Thousand Rings, he would go to the royal city to find him." Caitian continued, "There is no name and no surname, wearing a ghost mask, and the skin of his left hand is as young as a teenager, but his right hand is full of ravines, like an old man. ”

"Pretending to be a ghost." Duan Baiyue shook her head.

"The sect leader only wants to ask for a prescription, but he doesn't know that King Duan also wants people." Caitian continued, "If we had known earlier, the Tiansha Sect would not have taken it upon itself to rob people under the nose of the Southwest Mansion. ”

"Won't you be overpowered?" Duan Baiyue smiled, "When Lan Ji snatched Yao'er, I didn't see such a consciousness. ”

Harvest the field.

"No matter how nice the words are, it's useless." Duan Baiyue said, "Bring Lan Ji here, and I will spare you from dying." ”

Caitian's expression has changed drastically, apostasy?

"With this king, you just risk dying." Duan Baiyue said, "If you don't cooperate, it's better to live than to die." ”

Caitian's face turned pale: "Please also ask the king of the southwest not to be strong." ”

"That's funny." Duan Baiyue raised the corners of her mouth, "The most common thing to do in the Southwest Mansion is to make it difficult for strong people, and the more others don't want to do it, the more interesting it is to force it." ”

Caitian: "......"

"That set of morality, martial arts, benevolence, and morality, no matter how much you say, it won't help." Duan Baiyue said, "If I were you, I wouldn't want to cooperate and I wouldn't want to suffer, I would jump off this cliff by myself, and I would be clean in one hundred." It's better than waiting a few days later for the Gu poison to attack and ten thousand arrows pierce the heart, and then think about self-severance, but it's not so easy. ”

Caitian's hands trembled a little.

"Besides, you have an affair with Jinghui Gongzi behind Lan Ji's back, if you let her know, don't say that it is a way to live, even if it is a whole corpse, I am afraid that it will be difficult to leave a single corpse." Duan Baiyue raised her eyebrows.

Cai Tian was poked in the sore spot, and his chest rose and fell violently: "I will bring the sect leader here, and ask the king of the southwest to keep his promise." ”

Duan Baiyue reminded: "Before dawn." ”

Saida turned and ran down the mountain.

In Guiyunzhuang, Lan Ji was still meditating in the room, and then he heard someone jump into the courtyard.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that her face was different, Lan Ji frowned.

"Muslim Master, something happened on the mountain." Cai Tian gasped a little, "There was a big fire, and the wooden house was burned to the ground. ”

"What?" Lan Ji was furious when she heard this, "What about the disciples who left the guards? ”

"I don't know if they were burned to death in the wooden house together, or if they have left with the old man who is a wooden idiot." Cai Tian said, "And there seems to be something strange in the ashes, and the subordinates don't dare to act rashly, can the sect leader go and check it out for himself?" ”

"Bastard!" Lan Ji didn't doubt him, cursed fiercely, and left Guiyunzhuang with her, and went to the mountain to see what was going on.

As he got closer and closer to the wooden house, he gradually broke out in a cold sweat on his palms.

The smoke had not completely cleared, and looking at the blackened wooden rafters, Lan Ji couldn't help but speed up her pace, but Caitian deliberately took two steps back and distanced herself from her.

The sky had begun to lighten, and the remaining ashes did not look unusual, and Lan Ji turned around to ask what was going on, but a three-foot blade broke through the wind in front of her.

"King of the Southwest!" Lan Ji flew away, stumbling a few times under her feet, and almost fell down.

Duan Baiyue made a sharp move, forcing people all the way to the cliff.

When he met in the forest that day, his internal injuries had not healed and Duan Yao was by his side, so he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy. However, this time he made up his mind to take her life - although the extermination of the Demon Sect was a matter of the Martial Arts Alliance, and it was inconvenient for the Southwest Mansion to intervene, but this time it was provoked, and he would not stop there, and there were more than 20 old people in Guiyunzhuang waiting to be saved.

The Tiansha Sect's martial arts are extremely evil, and when it reaches Lan Ji, it is even more vicious. At first, she thought that the two would be tied at most, but she never thought that Duan Baiyue's moves would become more and more ruthless, the cold air around her body was pressing, and her forehead and palms were covered with blue and strange totems.

"You!" Trapped on the edge of a cliff by a chokehold, Lan Ji's eyes were filled with horror.

"This is the bodhichitta you want." Duan Baiyue's eyes were red, "Yao'er has never practiced, you have always found the wrong person." ”

Lan Ji had trouble breathing, and her eyes gradually drifted.

Duan Baiyue slapped her in the chest and knocked her off the cliff.

"King of the Southwest." Witnessing this qiē with his own eyes, Caitian "Putong" knelt on the ground, shaking like a sifting of chaff. Although she knew the Bodhicitta Sutra, it was only regarded as an extremely mysterious secret, but looking at Duan Baiyue's demonic appearance, she was afraid that it was not an orthodox kung fu, but a half-step into the evil path.

Duan Baiyue said lightly: "It's good that you haven't seen it." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Cai Tian nodded repeatedly.

"The Demon Cult has done a lot of evil, and you shouldn't have a way to live." Duan Baiyue said, "It's just that today is considered to be a mistake, go and bring those old people out, and someone will take you to the Southwest Mansion to receive the punishment." ”

"Yes." Caitian stood up and went down the mountain with him.

It wasn't until the sky was bright that there was movement in Guiyunzhuang, Qi Zuimeng went out after washing, and thought about going to find Lan Ji to be happy, but someone came to tell him, saying that Caitian had taken those old people out of the house, and Lan Ji didn't know where he went, only the rest of the sect members had not gotten up yet, and were still resting.

"Leave him alone." Qi Zuimeng was taught in Tiansha, and he was too lazy to do much care, so he drank most of the wine in his arms before he staggered to the cellar to make wine. It's just that until dark on this day, I didn't see Lan Ji and Caitian come back, so I couldn't help but mumble before going to bed, and I don't know where they went.

One day or two days were fine, but no one was seen on the three, four, five, and six days, and Qi was drunk and dreamed before he woke up or something had happened. hurriedly summoned the rest of the Tiansha Sect to ask, but they all looked at each other and were at a loss.

But apparently no one will explain it to him.

Duan Baiyue took more than 20 old people back to Dayan City and placed them in the post house for a while.

Seeing that he had returned safely, Chu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sixi's father-in-law also smiled and whispered, the emperor has mentioned the prince more than a dozen times these days, and he has taken it to heart.

Duan Baiyue was in a very good mood, and after taking a bath, she changed her clothes again, and then went to the next door to find someone, but was told by Duan Nian that the emperor had gone to the palace, and it was estimated that it would take a while to come back.

Duan Baiyue: "......"

Duan Nian also wanted to sigh for his prince, the new clothes were changed, but no one appreciated them, and it was also abusive to think about it.

At this time, the city had already spread that the old man in the good hall was not dead, but was stolen by the Southwest Demon Sect that night, and the living people were smuggled out of the city with the corpse top bag that had been prepared.

Xu Zhiqiu naturally heard the news, and was in a hurry in the study. He is not afraid of being punished for closing the case in confusion, after all, even if he is Lord Qingtianbao, he may not have never decided an unjust case, and at most he will be fined for one year, and he will be demoted to one level after breaking through the heavenly official. But this group of old people was kidnapped by the Tiansha Sect before, but now they have been snatched back by the imperial court, what happened during this period, whether their transaction with Lan Ji can be leaked, no one can give a guarantee, and I don't know what the emperor knows, so I am nervous.

It's just that before he could figure out his thoughts and make a good excuse, the Imperial Forest Army had already broken into the door, put on the shackles three or two times, and dragged them in front of Chu Yuan.

"Emperor, Emperor." Xu Zhiqiu trembled, and his face was like ashes.

"Xu Aiqing." Chu Yuan said lightly, "The treasury on the mountain outside the city is going to be confiscated, Aiqing shouldn't have any opinion, right?" ”

Xu Zhiqiu sat on the ground with his buttocks, and he was so frightened that he lost his mind.

The bright gold mountain was transported back to the city from outside the mountain, and the people were dumbfounded, the tables, chairs and benches made in the city over the years were added up, and they were afraid that they could not be defeated by one-tenth, where did these officials get their money from?

After the Wu family car dealership was raided, Boss Wu also knelt down and pleaded guilty. He was originally just a small trader, but he was later photographed by Xu Zhiqiu, and he couldn't stand the persuasion of the prefect in person for three days, so he had the courage to start making ghost wooden boxes privately, and then hid them in the closet and sold them to firearms dealers in Nanyang.

As for the drawings of the ghost wooden box, it is said that Xu Zhiqiu spent a lot of money to buy it from a crazy old man, and it is unknown who this person is.

"Crazy old man, could it be a wood idiot?" Duan Baiyue asked.

Chu Yuan nodded: "I am also thinking, apart from him, there should be no second person in this martial arts." ”

"Although there was a fire in the cabin, I always felt that he might not be dead." Duan Baiyue said, "After taking the soft tendons, and being guarded by the disciples of the Tiansha Sect, it is impossible to start a fire for no reason, but it is more likely that someone will secretly rob it, and then set it on fire to others." ”

Chu Yuan thoughtfully: "Hmm." ”

"Since I promised you to bring him back, I will do it." Duan Baiyue said, "Give me some more time, huh?" ”

Chu Yuan came back to his senses and said, "Regardless of the old man for the time being, the old man in the good hall can return safely this time, it all depends on the Southwest Mansion." ”

"Is it the Southwest Mansion, or me?" Duan Baiyue asked.

Chu Yuan paused and said firmly: "Southwest Mansion." ”

Duan Baiyue shook her head: "Then next time there will be a holy decree, remember to give it to the Southwest Mansion, not to the King of the Southwest." "I won't take it.

Chu Yuan was interested: "To Yao'er?" ”

"Yao'er is afraid that she will be scared to cry." Duan Baiyue also laughed with him, reaching out to pour tea, but there was a trace of pain in his chest.

"What's wrong again?" Chu Yuan only thought he was still acting, and stretched out his hand to push, "Seriously, who do you think would want to kidnap the old man who is woodworm?" ”

"Everyone in the rivers and lakes wants the secret weapon." Duan Baiyue forcibly swallowed the bloody breath in her mouth, "I can't say, and the other party is not weak in kung fu." ”

"Hmm." Chu Yuan continued to think about it.

Duan Baiyue broke out in a cold sweat on her back, so she stood up and said, "I'll go next door and have a look." ”

Chu Yuan nodded, watched him go out all the way, stretched out his hand and poured a cup of tea before he could drink it, but he heard Sixi's exclamation outside: "Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Duan Baiyue was pale and knelt under the pillars, blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth, and the bottom of her heart seemed to have been cut by an ice blade.

Chu Yuan stepped forward and grabbed him.

"It doesn't matter." Duan Baiyue stood up strongly, swept the person away with a wave of his hand, and stumbled into the room.

"Your Majesty." Sixi hurriedly supported him, "Be careful of the steps behind." ”

Chu Yuan stretched out his hand and slammed the door vigorously: "Duan Baiyue!" ”

"It's good to rest for a while, it's just a little bit of a bloody heart." Duan Baiyue sat down against the door, beads of sweat the size of beans falling from her forehead.

"Open the door!" Chu Yuan was furious.

Duan Baiyue raised his palm and pressed it on his chest, wanting to press back the retrograde true qi in his body. The Bodhicitta Sutra is already evil, and I can't practice it well, so it is not unusual to forcibly perform the exercises, but I didn't expect it to be eaten back so quickly, and it will take two or three months, to say the least.

Hearing that he had been refusing to leave behind the door, Chu Yuan simply smashed the window with one palm.

Sixi's father-in-law was taken aback, how could the emperor be so fierce.

Duan Baiyue had no choice but to let the slag of wood fly all over the sky, but there was nothing to be done.

Looking at the faint lines on his forehead, Chu Yuan didn't have time to ask more, and after helping the person to the bed, he took another pill for him to take.

Duan Baiyue said: "What is it? ”

Chu Yuan gritted his teeth: "The crane is red." ”

Duan Baiyue closed her eyes when she heard this, pretending that she had ascended to heaven, and stuck out her tongue.

Chu Yuan was so angry that he wanted to laugh, held his wrist and tried his pulse, then let people lean into his arms and press his palm on his heart.

Traces of true qi were poured into the limbs, and there was some warmth, although it could not completely dispel the cold to the bone, but it could also alleviate the pain a lot.

After about a stick of incense, Chu Yuan withdrew his palm: "How is it?" ”

Duan Baiyue nodded: "Thank you." ”

"What kind of kung fu did Nan Senpai teach you?" Chu Yuan took his hand and looked at it, making sure that those weird totems had dispersed, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "How can the internal injuries be so severe?" ”

Duan Baiyue said from the bottom of her heart: "No way, my father didn't find a good master." "A pit is a lifetime.

"Yan zhòng?" Chu Yuan still frowned, "If this is often the case, then I will send someone to Jiangnan to pick up Xiao Jin." ”

"It's not a disease, I'm afraid it's useless to be a miracle doctor." Duan Baiyue sat up, "It's better to drink more hot water." ”

Chu Yuan: "......"

"It's true." Duan Baiyue smiled, "Thirsty." ”

Chu Yuan had no choice but to ask Sixi to come in with tea.

Duan Baiyue drank most of the pot in one go, and there was blood on his face.

Chu Yuan took the handkerchief on the side and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead for him: "Do you want to take a bath?" ”

Duan Baiyue nodded.

After a while, a large bucket of hot water was sent in, and Chu Yuan temporarily returned to the next door.

"Your Majesty, is he okay?" Sixi's father-in-law was worried.

"It should be fine, just rest a little longer." Chu Yuan thought for a moment again, "I wrote a letter, you asked him to hurry up and send it to Jiangnan Sun Moon Villa to be handed over to Shen Qianfeng without delay." ”

Sixi promised to help him polish the ink.

Duan Baiyue soaked in the bathtub for a long time before she came to her senses.

Duan Nian lifted the two tiles and jumped down from above.

Duan Baiyue: "......"

"Subordinate to deliver medicine to the prince." Duan Nian said.

Duan Baiyue was confused: "What medicine?" ”

"My subordinates don't know." Duan Nian opened a cloth bag, "Master Nan just sent someone to send it, saying that it was added to the water during the bath, okay!" ”

Duan Baiyue: "......"

What is "good" is too general.

Duan Nian had already uncorked the bottle.

"Wait!" Duan Baiyue grabbed his hand.

Duan Nian insisted: "Master Nan said, be sure to add it." ”

Duan Baiyue leaned into the tip of her nose and sniffed.

Duan Nian continued, "Master Nan also said that if the prince refuses to add it, then it will be the same if he eats it. ”

Duan Baiyue decisively plugged the stopper.

Duan Nian was embarrassed: "Master Nan will slaughter his subordinates." ”

Duan Baiyue squinted: "This king can't kill you?" ”

Duan Nian suddenly had a bitter face.

"Stand down." Duan Baiyue said.

Duan Nian walked to the window and turned back, "There is one more thing." ”

"One more word, and you'll take this bottle of medicine." Duan Baiyue shook the porcelain bottle in his hand.

Duan Nian said: "If the prince is willing to pretend to be weak, maybe the emperor will be able to stay." ”

Duan Baiyue: "......"

Duan Nian hugged his head and got out of the window.

Duan Baiyue leaned back against the barrel wall, wondering if he had recovered too quickly.

After all, as the saying goes, there are many lovers in front of the bed after a long illness.

But after thinking about it, after bathing, Duan Baiyue still dressed up and went to the next door.

He really didn't want that person to worry, and he really didn't want that person to feel that he was sick and crooked.

Chu Yuan frowned: "Why don't you rest?" ”

Duan Baiyue's tone was relaxed: "People who practice martial arts, it is common for them to be unable to suppress their internal strength three times or twice, so they don't have to care." ”

Chu Yuan said: "That's a bit of an illness." "The wind chill will lie down for two days.

"One thing, I'll go to rest after that." Duan Baiyue said, "Regarding the Thousand Rings, it sounds like a great weapon, compared to the Ghost Wood Box. ”

"So what?" Chu Yuan shook his head, "Now that the life and death of the old man are uncertain, I am afraid that before he appears, this thousand loops can only become an eternal secret." ”

Duan Baiyue smiled: "There is another person, although he can't do it, he must also know the mystery." ”

Chu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "That buyer of the Heavenly Brake Sect? ”

"It's him." Duan Baiyue said: "Since you are willing to buy it, it means that you at least know what this thing is used for." According to the Tiansha Sect, he should be in the royal city at this time. ”

Chu Yuan said, "Oh." ”

It was quiet inside the house.

After another moment, Duan Baiyue continued to ask, "If the King of the Southwest wants to go to the royal city, which lord does he need to report to?" ”

Chu Yuan pursed his lips and smiled: "Have you allowed you to enter Beijing?" ”

"If you are allowed to do so, you will go openly, and if you are not allowed, you will go secretly." Duan Baiyue propped her cheeks, and her tone was a little scoundrel, "It's not that I haven't been there before. ”

"Dare to say it." Chu Yuan knocked on his head, "It's okay to go to the royal city, but your injuries really don't matter?" Or go back to the Southwest Mansion to find Master Nan to heal first, and it's not too late to come back. ”

"You believe me." Duan Baiyue held his hand, "If you wait for it to heal on its own, it may be faster." ”

Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then his ears turned red and he withdrew his hand.

Duan Baiyue looked out the window calmly: "Do you want to call Sixi again?" ”

Chu Yuan's words came to his lips, so he had to swallow them back.

Duan Baiyue's eyes smiled even more.

Chu Yuan was annoyed and angry, and shook his hand and went out.

Sixi's father-in-law complained in his heart, how can the king of the southwest always tease the emperor, look at this and blush, I am afraid that he will only eat green vegetables at night.

Three days later, the Imperial Guards returned in a mighty way, heading north.

After some time, a letter was also received in the palace of the southwest. After reading it, Duan Yao hugged Aunt Jin and didn't let go, why do you want to go to the royal city again, I won't go, I want to raise insects in the palace!

Nanmo was very impatient, packed up his baggage with joy, and knocked out the crying little apprentice with another palm, and took him all the way out of the city.

Aunt Jin was worried in the back, Master Nan couldn't do it, she didn't even want a carriage, she just carried it and left.

By the time the army arrived at the royal city, it was already a hot summer. Duan Baiyue lived in an inn near the palace, and the Jinluan Hall could be seen from the rooftop.

The folds in the imperial study are piled up to be one person high, although there is a Taifu leading the ministers to discuss matters, some things are still only decided when the emperor comes back. Fortunately, Chu Yuan was diligent, and when he came back, he didn't even rest for a day, so he began to deal with the backlog of affairs in batches, and he couldn't return to the dormitory until late at night every day.

Tao Rende saw it in his eyes, and his worries dissipated a little. The emperor is good at everything, but he really likes to run out. It's just a few times before, but this time I went to Dayan City for no reason, even if I knew about Xu Zhiqiu's private greed for Jinshan, it would be good to send Qin over, why not go there in person.

Lord Liu is very happy, because the emperor's return means that there are fewer chores in his hands, and he just wants to talk about a few more matchmakers.

"Lao Liu." Mrs. Tao had a headache when she saw him, "General Shen said that he didn't want to, so your niece can't marry someone else?" ”

"This time it's not for General Shen." Liu Dajiong said, "I wonder if Master Taifu has ever heard of Sai Pan'an?" ”

Mrs. Tao said disgustedly: "What kind of bad name is this." ”

"It's a bit bad, but it's said to be very good-looking." Liu Dajiong's eyebrows fluttered, "I still have to set up a ring in the royal city today, is Master Taifu willing to go with me to take a look?" ”
