Chapter 56: The Strange Buddha Statue
In Yong'an Palace, the crown prince Zhao Zhe was in a good mood, and he had another new force.
Even if you use human lives to fill the attack, you are a little more sure.
A guard came in with a knife and said loudly: "Your Highness, General Yulin Cao Wu asks to see you." ”
"Come in, General Xuancao."
A pale-faced middle-aged man strode in, wearing the leather armor of a military general, but wearing a long sword studded with jewels at his waist, his steps were vain, although he was wearing a military uniform, he was more like a nobleman who had been hollowed out by wine.
When Yue Xiang took Chen Shou to the White Tiger Hall, he saw this Yulin general, and they regarded the White Tiger Hall as a nest of pleasure at that time.
The orchestra is silk and bamboo, the wine and meat are fragrant, and a group of singers and dancers are dressed in revealing clothes, delicate and charming, and dissolute.
At that time, Chen Shou knew that the forbidden army had been abolished, and there was no possibility of resurrection, and it was completely rotten to the roots.
So he even bought Shi Chao, the internal guard forbidden army, but he refused to extend an olive branch to the Yulin forbidden army.
Zhao Zhe saw that he was a little arrogant, and he was unhappy in his heart, but Cao Wu bowed roughly, and then asked, "Your Majesty is here?" Where is Wei Xiang? ”
A guard next to the prince, who was also from the forbidden army, seemed to be very familiar with Cao Wu, dangling a holy decree in his hand, and said loudly: "Cao Manzi, you can take a good look, this is Your Majesty's holy decree!" The one who kills Chen Shou will be rewarded with a thousand taels and sealed ten thousand households. There are not many such heavy rewards, ordinary feudal marquis, except for a few who founded the country with Taizu in our Great Qi, how many are actually sealed? It's nothing more than a food town. This is a real Hou Guo......"
Cao Wu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, finally clenched his fists, and said: "I am waiting for the Yulin Army, not for the title, I don't love gold, but I am loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and I swear to kill the traitor Chen Shou." ”
"That's very good." There was a smile on the prince's face, and he said: "Chen Shou is now shrinking in the corner of the West Palace and resisting stubbornly, it is already the end of the crossbow, you immediately send troops to attack and break the gate of the West Palace, I will give you the first credit." ”
"The last general obeys!"
Although Cao Wu is a wine bag and rice bag, this voice is a bit arrogant, and he can't step out of the Fuxing Hall of Yong'an Palace.
----
In the East Palace, Li Lingfeng was in front of a Buddha statue, silently chanting.
Her face was pale, her eyes were a little dark, and she didn't know how long she hadn't slept. The white fingers pinched a prayer bead, which was full of the word "longevity".
Although the shouting and killing outside was noisy, it could give her the last trace of comfort, and there was a sound of fighting, indicating that at least Chen Shou was still safe now. His men and horses are still fighting, he is also fighting, and his man is at a life-and-death point.
I don't know when this Buddhist hall was built, Li Lingfeng himself has a very small range of activities in the East Palace, and now he is forced here, which is really helpless.
If there is a statue of Sanqing, she probably won't worship the Buddha, after all, her man is a Taoist Kinmen Yuke.
Now I am also in a hurry to go to the doctor, reciting some miscellaneous Buddhist scriptures indiscriminately, but in fact, my heart is not calm at all.
"Miss, let's eat something, we found some white rice and cooked some porridge." Li Bohao shouted outside the door.
"Eat it, I can't eat it."
Li Lingfeng raised his head, his eyes met with the Buddha statue, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The Xiliang General's Mansion does not believe in Buddhism, because Buddhists do not produce and do not pay taxes, and in a place like Xiliang, they will not be allowed to flourish.
But she has still seen the Buddha statue, she has never seen the one in front of her, only to see this white marble Buddha statue, can not see men and women, both hands pinched a lotus seal, strange eyes look ahead, the smile on the corner of the mouth even has a trace of horror.
After staring at it for a while, a chilling feeling spread throughout Li Lingfeng's body. This Buddha statue is not at all bright and majestic, it is a lotus platform under its seat, and on the twelve lotus petals are sitting a Buddha of different shapes, either fierce, or weird, or ghostly, or gloomy, terrifying and full of evil and filthy atmosphere.
"Ahh Li Lingfeng clutched his chest and screamed.
With a bang, the door was pushed open, and Li Bohao rushed in with a few people.
"Miss?"
"You... You come to see this Buddha statue, isn't it a little weird? ”
Li Bohao stepped forward to take a closer look, and suddenly his hair stood on end, "The bird face of this bird Buddha statue and the mask of the thief who killed the eldest prince are simply the same mold." ”
"Brother... Was it the prince who killed it? ”
Li Bohao's breathing accelerated, his eyes were red, and he seemed to be about to stare at blood: "Eldest prince, you have a spirit in the sky, bless me and others to find out the real murderer." ”
The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he pushed it onto the Buddha statue, and suddenly, the lotus platform under the Buddha statue slowly opened.
Li Bohao stepped forward to take a look, and was shocked in his heart, and quickly protected Li Lingfeng, "There is a secret passage here!" The White Buddha is the mechanism, and the lotus is the entrance. ”
Li Lingfeng had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and said: "When is it a head to be trapped in the East Palace, since there is a secret passage, it is better for us to break through, maybe we can get out." ”
Li Bohao hesitated, he was unwilling to take Li Lingfeng to take the risk, and now it seems that the prince did not dare to kill the eldest lady because he was afraid of Xiliang.
If you rashly walk this tunnel, there are three long and two short, but how is it good?
"Miss, you wait here, let's go explore the way first."
Li Lingfeng was anxious at this time, how could she be willing to stay in this East Palace for a while, her phoenix eyes were fixed, and her tone was firm: "Since the crown prince killed his brother, the East Palace is not safe for a moment, so it is better to leave together." ”
"Ugh." Li Bohao sighed, he knew that the children of Li Wei, the old marshal of the General's Mansion, were more stubborn than the other, and the things they decided couldn't be pulled back by nine cows.
He opened the door and said hello, and all the Xiliang guards in the East Palace came up, as well as the maids and maids brought by Li Lingfeng.
"There's a tunnel here, let's go out from here, wait for the eldest lady to take care of you, I'll go explore the way first!"
After Li Bohao finished speaking, he held the torch in one hand, lifted the plank, and groped his way down.
"There are ladders, it's very easy to walk, you guys come down slowly one by one."
The torch was not extinguished, indicating that there was a vent, Li Bohao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and shouted loudly for his companions to come down.
A few guards jumped down, followed by Li Lingfeng and a group of maids, who barely groped their way in the darkness and walked for half an hour before they reached the exit.
In fact, there are many secret doors in this secret passage, but they are relatively secret.
The group just followed the middle road, all the way forward, and finally reached the exit.
Crawling out of the exit, it turned out to be a dry well, after Li Bohao came out, he looked left and right, and his eyes were half frightened.
In front of him was a white-haired palace maid, staring at herself. Her skin was wrinkled, her eyelids drooped, and she held a broom in her hand.
At the other end of the tunnel, it turned out to be Concubine Zhao's cold palace and this old palace maid who swept the floor.
Unlike her old and decrepit face, her eyes are extremely gloomy.
Li Bohao is not a timid person, but after walking through the tunnel for half an hour, when he saw such a situation at first glance, his heart rose to his throat and eyes, and he almost screamed.
"Who are you?!"
