Chapter 324: The Undercurrent Emerges

Vortex was stunned by the scene in front of her, and she subconsciously took a few steps back, leaning on the body of Jingchen, shivering. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info Jingchen had frost on his face, pulled the swirl wave aside, and said in a low voice: "Princess, now that this monk disguised as me is dead, there must be a new person who has pretended to be you and me to the front." ā€

"Now there are two other people who are exactly like us who are active in Chongzenji Temple, so from now on the two of us cannot be separated. Because once we are separated, when we say goodbye, we can't tell whether the other person is real or not. ā€

In less than an hour, she had seen two people die tragically in front of her, so she knew that the situation was extremely urgent. She agrees 100% with Jingchen's suggestion.

However, she also had some questions to ask Jingchen: "How did the master know that I was here, so that he could rescue me in a critical situation?" ā€

Jingchen didn't answer, but looked around, and he motioned for Xuanbo to walk in front of him. The two of them followed the shadow of the gray wall of the meditation room all the way to a secluded attic.

Jingchen looked around, his face became more and more gloomy, he walked into the attic with the swirling waves, and hid in a corner, which was very dark, only a wooden lattice window let in a little light.

"Where is this?" The surprisingly quiet surroundings made Whirlpool more and more uneasy, and she looked at Jingchen with some concern.

Jingchen glanced back at her, and said in a calm voice: "This is a scripture pavilion in Chongshan Temple where Sanskrit scriptures are placed, and few people usually come in. ā€

Hearing him say this, Xuanbo's heart felt a little lighter, so she asked again, "Why did the master know that I was at the Great Luan Tree and rescued me in time?" ā€

Jingchen replied, "It's all a coincidence. Today is the day of Zhou Tianzi's sacrifice, and after bowing in the main hall, I wanted to go back to the meditation room to collect the scriptures. But before I returned to the meditation room where I lived, I realized that something was wrong today. ā€

"It stands to reason that many people from the imperial court come to Chongshan Temple today, and the temple should be very lively, but the situation is quite the opposite. The meditation rooms where the monks lived were unusually quiet. ā€

"Normally, even though most of the monks are chanting in front of them, there are still some monks here in the meditation room who are responsible for cleaning and preparing food. I went to check on the room, and there was not a single spark in the stove, the vegetables and rice were not washed, and the monks who were supposed to be preparing food and drink in the meditation room all disappeared mysteriously, as if ......"

"Seems like what?" Listening to his words, Xuanbo only felt a chill in his back.

"It's as if they've all been cleaned up silently."

Cleanup, the word swirl wave has heard in the mouth of the scarface, plus I saw the tragic situation of the middle-aged monk being killed just now, and I already understand the complicated meaning.

"So, I realized that there were outsiders who broke into Chongshan Temple, and they didn't come well." Jingchen glanced out of the window alertly, and then said, "The most honorable person among the people who came to the temple today to participate in the sacrificial ceremony is you, the princess, and it can be imagined that most of these intruders are targeting you." ā€

Xuan Bo swallowed nervously and said, "I have neither military power, nor do I participate in court politics, and I am not an enemy of others on weekdays, what are these people looking for me to do?" ā€

Jingchen said: "This was just my idea at the time, but after meeting that middle-aged monk, I knew that things were far from so simple. ā€

"The middle-aged monk came to Chongshan Temple a month ago. On the day he came, it was raining heavily, and he said that he was a monk from Youfang, who was passing by here, and was trapped by the heavy rain, and wanted to come to the temple to borrow it. ā€

"Since Chongzenji Temple is a royal temple, I, as the presiding officer, could not easily let the monk stay, so I personally tested him. As I talked to him, I found out that he was proficient in the Dharma, and he knew some Sanskrit, plus I had secretly observed his breath. ā€

"I found that his breath was heavy before and light at the back, and his breath was thick and thin, which was the breathing method of ordinary people without internal strength, so I judged that he was really a wandering monk."

"I really didn't expect that he would use pranayama to deceive me and infiltrate Chongshan Temple. It seems that their gang sent him to be a spy, to enter the temple first, and wait for an opportunity to do internal response. ā€

Xuanbo remembered that he had just heard the conversation between the middle-aged monk and the young woman, so he hurriedly told Jingchen: "They seem to be looking for a place, and it must be a man and a woman to enter." But why did they pretend to be the two of us? ā€

Jingchen frowned, it seemed that he couldn't judge for a while. After a while, he said, "The princess and I don't know each other well, and we don't usually cross paths much. They sent so many people, and they had to pretend to be us, so that it was a place where only we could go......"

After a moment, the two of them said in unison, "Altar! ā€

Jingchen is the host of Chongshan Temple, and Xuanbo is the eldest princess of Daqi, and the two rarely have the opportunity to appear in the same place at the same time.

Even in such a grand royal event today, the two of them were all hugging each other, and there were many monks around Jingchen, and Xuanbo was surrounded by many guards and palace people.

But there was only one place they had to go alone, and that was the main altar standing in front of the main hall, and as the highlight of the ceremony, the process was scheduled to take place in the afternoon.

On the main altar stands a newly cast Lizhou Dading. In the original plan, Jingchen would read out Zhou Tianzi's life exploits in front of Dading, and Xuanbo would read the praise of Emperor Xiaoya, which was written by Zhao Yuan for Zhou Tianzi.

Finally, Jingchen and Xuanbo should put these two seals into the Zhou Dading, so as to show the inheritance of Daqi's ritual system and respect for Zhou Tianzi.

"That's not right." Xuan Bo said softly, "Today I am here on behalf of my father. The father and emperor changed his mind temporarily because the concubine was unwell. In fact, standing on the main altar today should have been the father and the concubine. ā€ć€

"The father originally wanted to personally recite the praise sheet written for Zhou Tianzi, and as the only heir of the Song family, it is most appropriate for her to read out Zhou Tianzi's life achievements."

"If this middle-aged monk came to Chongshan Temple a month ago, then the person they were going to pretend to be was their father and concubine? If they send someone to pretend to be their father and concubine, then the real father and concubine will be ...... by them Slay! ā€

Thinking of this, cold sweat had already flowed down with the forehead of the swirling wave, this was a group of people who were going to assassinate the Emperor of Great Qi!

Where did they come from? Was it sent by the failed Pillar Kingdom family in the south, or was it a hidden force from the Taifu clan, or was it another group of disobedient people who didn't know about it before?

Originally, I thought that my father swept through southern Xinjiang and returned triumphantly, and Daqi has since been stable, the political situation is clear, and it has entered a peaceful and prosperous era. Unexpectedly, less than a month after the Great Qi army returned to Luoyang, someone had already laid a trap and wanted to take the emperor's life!
