Chapter 243: The Emperor Falls into a Dream, and the Prime Minister Slays the Dragon
A cloud and rain, come quickly, go quickly, the legend of the dragon king and the old fairy, but since then handed down.
Di Renjie couldn't guess why someone had arranged this kind of game in the end, but he had a feeling of shock, and he always felt that once this game was launched, it would definitely be a shock.
That night, ten old monks appeared outside Luoyang City, they looked at the lights in the city from afar, and they were silent.
I don't know how long it took, but the Hongyin monk who was the leader slowly spoke: "Senior disciples, let's separate." I took Hongxin, Hongyi, Hongzhong, and Hongmian to Cuiyunfeng to investigate the life and death of the queen, and Hongyuan took Honglin, Hongxuan, Hongfu, and Hongyun to the palace to change the scriptures. ”
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "I think that Li Mo is a scheming person, he may not have expected that we will come to take risks, this trip must be nine deaths." If you are really unfortunate enough to be taken seriously by me, please do not hesitate to die to repay Zen Buddhism. ”
"Amitabha!" The rest of the nine monks chanted the Buddha's name, and each face showed a resolute look.
There was no extra language, and after the ten old monks saluted each other, they divided into two teams, one team went to the direction of the vast north mountain, and the other team quietly touched Luoyang City.
At the same time, the emperor was reviewing the recital in the imperial study.
The emperor knows that Buddhism is powerful, and this matter should be cautious, but thinking of the vast power of the national teacher, he is not too worried.
Before the night came, the emperor was tired, and he felt a little emotional, the years were unforgiving, his energy was so poor, but he was old.
At some point, the emperor's eyelids were sleepy, and he fell asleep.
Vaguely, a white-clothed showman rushed from outside the door, his face full of panic.
The emperor was startled, and he was about to call someone, but as soon as the white-clothed showman entered the door, he knelt on the ground with a puff, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and cried out in his mouth: "Your Majesty, save me, save me!" ”
The emperor was surprised and said, "Who are you?" How can I save you? ”
The white-clothed showman cried: "The minister is a karmic dragon in the water, just because he violated the rules of heaven, the virtuous minister of His Majesty will be the prime minister of the official ceremony, and he will be beheaded at three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, so I come to beg, I hope Your Majesty will save me!" ”
The emperor was amazed: "There is such a thing? Since Shangguan Aiqing is beheaded, I can save you, you can go with confidence. ”
The white-clothed Xiushi was immediately overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and then left.
Outside the imperial study, Lu Heng slowly withdrew his illusion technique, and took a deep look at the emperor who was asleep on the desk, his figure flashed and disappeared in place.
I don't know how long it took, but the emperor was suddenly awakened by a noise.
He got up suddenly, and saw Gonggong Guo waiting on the side.
Seeing that the emperor woke up, Gonggong Guo hurriedly beckoned, and immediately the palace maid brought hot cloth towels and tea soup at just the right temperature.
The emperor wiped his face and poured a sip of tea, and then asked in a deep voice, "What time is it?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it's ugly."
The emperor frowned and said, "In the middle of the night, who is making a noise?" ”
"It's the thief who came to the imperial study, the immortal elders such as Qian Lao and the enlightened master of Qingyang Guan are facing the enemy, what is the specific battle situation, the slave maid has sent someone to inquire."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious, and shouted: "These chaotic ministers and thieves really dare to come!" ”
At this moment, another chamberlain hurriedly came, and when he looked up and saw the emperor's face full of anger, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a puff, shaking like chaff.
Gonggong Guo said gently: "But what has changed over there in the Library Pavilion?" Don't worry, come to Your Majesty carefully. ”
Only then did the little eunuch ease up a little, and said, "Your Majesty, the immortal chiefs successfully repelled the thieves, and three of the thieves escaped, leaving behind two corpses. The slave maid stepped forward to investigate, and found that it was actually two old monks......"
"Well killed!" The emperor said hatefully, "Spread the Dali Temple, the whole city, Jin Wuwei coordinated the search and arrest, and dug three feet into the ground to find out these great rebels." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After a while, Gonggong Guo saw that the emperor's anger was still not gone, so he observed the emperor's expression and smiled carefully: "Your Majesty, there has been a rather interesting thing in the past two days, which has swept the whole Luoyang, and everyone has praised it......
The emperor knew that he wanted to amuse himself, and he didn't bother him with kindness, so he asked casually, "What's the matter?" ”
Guo Gonggong's face suddenly turned happy, and said: "This matter started three days ago, early that morning, an old Taoist ...... came to the dock."
With Guo's narration, the emperor's expression gradually became suspicious from the initial indifference.
Cuiyun Peak.
As soon as Lu Heng came back, he saw Li Chunfeng sitting on the mountain stone next to the entrance of the secret realm, holding his sword and closing his eyes to recuperate, and the blood stains on the blade had not yet dried.
Li Chunfeng opened his eyes and said, "It's the five elders of Zen Buddhism who came, and the Hongyin supernatural power is not under me, I can only rely on the geographical advantage to stop them, but I can't keep them." ”
Lu Heng frowned: "Ran away?" ”
"Hongyin cultivates the divine foot, and a thought is a thousand miles in an instant." Li Chunfeng said, "A moment ago, the five of them were desperately rushing in, but Na Hongyin suddenly frowned and shouted to retreat, and the five of them instantly retreated without a trace. Come to think of it, I must have sensed that you were going up the mountain. ”
Lu Heng immediately thought that when he first entered the mountain, he had a feeling of being watched for a moment.
"Retreat is advance," Lu Heng sighed, "It seems that the monks are not stupid." ”
"If you can cultivate your position, you are naturally not stupid." Li Chunfeng smiled and said, "There has never been a thousand days to be a thief, where is there a thousand days to prevent thieves?" You and I can't always guard the secret realm, they can always find an opportunity. ”
"Is my brother injured?" Lu Heng bowed and asked respectfully.
Li Chunfeng smiled with relief: "This place is a pass, ten thousand people are not open, they can attack, they can retreat, although they are numerous, they can't help me." ”
Lu Heng straightened up and said, "Please also ask Senior Brother to enter the secret realm to cultivate and replenish the aura." ”
Li Chunfeng was in a good mood, and teased: "You Li Daqin will not lack secret realms in the future, senior brother, I will not be polite." ”
It is a rare opportunity to be able to enter the secret realm to cultivate, and Li Chunfeng will not be polite.
After the two entered the secret realm, Li Chunfeng said: "Even if these monks kill one wave, there will be another wave." Besides, you will leave Luoyang in 20 days, and if the monks can't find a chance before this, they will definitely make a difference after you leave. ”
Lu Heng said: "I'm only worried that in the past two nights, they have pretended to do it and killed the queen." ”
Li Chunfeng was silent for a while, and asked, "Aren't you worried that they will see the flaws?" ”
It seems that Li Chunfeng has already seen the queen, Lu Heng shook his head: "After tonight, if they really dare to kill the queen, then Buddhism really has no place in Datang." ”
It seems that the junior brother's plan is about to succeed......
Li Chunfeng shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
In the secret realm, the queen's temporary dormitory has been built, although it was hastily made, but it is also quite elegant.
Due to the previous turmoil of the big battle outside the secret border, at this time, the queen's guards and Lu Heng's three registered disciples were all on guard, vigilantly guarding the periphery of the queen's bedroom.
Seeing Lu Heng come back, everyone's eyes showed a look of relief.
"See the National Teacher (Shizun)." Everyone saluted Lu Heng together.
Lu Heng nodded, looked around and said, "The thief has been repelled by Taishi Linggong, you can do your job." ”
"Yes, National Teacher!"
Lu Heng said to the three registered disciples again: "You guys also go and rest, the day after tomorrow, I will pass on your own skills, and after a month, whoever can satisfy me, I will accept him as an official disciple." ”
Shangguan Jing'er and the three of them were immediately overjoyed, and they hurriedly thanked them in unison, and happily returned to the Taoist temple.
Nothing was said all night.
Li Chun rushed back to Luoyang before the early court, and after the morning court, he went back to his house and went to Beibi Mountain again.
Palace.
After the early dynasty, the emperor deliberately left the prime minister on the official ceremony.
He pretended to ask Shangguan Yi about some government affairs, and listening to Shangguan Yi talk eloquently, the emperor was still a little uncertain, and fragments of last night's dream kept coming to his mind.
Shangguan Yi saw that the emperor was absent-minded, and he was a little unhappy at the moment, so he deliberately kept silent.
The emperor came back to his senses and smiled apologetically: "I occasionally felt a cold last night, but today I am a little in good spirits. ”
Shangguan Yi hurriedly asked with concern: "Your Majesty should take care of the dragon's body, have you ever declared the imperial doctor?" ”
The emperor waved his hand and said, "It's not in the way, since the national teacher solved the Gu for me, my health is much better than before, especially the headache has never been committed again." ”
After a pause, the emperor said, "It's almost noon, so it's better to stay in the palace and dine with me." ”
Shangguan Yi was busy and thankful.
After a meal, it is about to pass at noon.
The emperor took Shangguanyi back to the imperial study, ordered the chamberlain to take the chess, and said with a smile: "I have time in the afternoon, I and Qing will play a game." ”
This is His Majesty's favor, Shangguan Yi was moved in his heart, and he was busy thanking him again and playing against the emperor.
The two set up a position, handed one and one draw, and began to play against each other.
When I was just halfway through a game of chess, it was close to three o'clock in the afternoon. The two of them made a difference, and they were thinking hard about how to break the game, but they didn't notice that a figure appeared in the corner of the wall.
It was Lu Heng who had sneaked down from Cuiyun Peak again.
He stared at the two people in the game, and quietly launched the mirage dream technique, and a wisp of divine consciousness suddenly disappeared directly into Shangguan Yi's mind.
Shangguan Yi, who was meditating hard, only to feel that fatigue suddenly hit like a tide, and his eyelids began to fight, and after a few breaths, he lowered his head and fell asleep.
The emperor still looked at the chessboard, thinking that Shangguan Yi was still thinking.
Until a long time later, Shangguan Yi still didn't see any movement, but heard him snoring gradually.
When the emperor looked up, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly called: "Shangguan Qing? Shangguan Qing? ”
Shangguan Yi woke up suddenly, looked up, and suddenly his complexion changed greatly, and he hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground and said: "The minister deserves to die, the minister deserves to die!" The minister is dizzy and sleepy, and he doesn't know what to do, and he hopes that His Majesty will forgive the sin of the minister. ”
The emperor had some bad premonitions in his heart, and said: "Qing is working hard for state affairs, and even tired of mental work, what is the crime?" ”
He paused, and couldn't help asking, "When Qing opened his eyes, his eyes were full of anger, but I don't know if I dreamed of something?" ”
"Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and the ministers are full of admiration!" Shangguan Yi stood up and said with a confused face, "It's strange to say, the minister is in a dream today, but he personally beheaded a madman who slandered the king. ”
A trace of horror flashed on the emperor's face, and he hurriedly stood up and said urgently: "Let's talk carefully, what did this person say, what does he look like?" ”
"Your Majesty......" Shangguan Yi saw that the emperor's face was anxious, although he didn't know why, but he didn't dare to hesitate, and after thinking about it for a while, he began to tell: "The minister is in a dream, holding a sword, on a stone platform floating in mid-air, there is a tablet on the stone platform, and the words "Chop Longtai" are written on it. ”
Before the minister could figure out the situation, he saw a white-clothed scholar tied up with five flowers, kneeling in front of the minister, and when he saw the minister, he immediately shouted the name of the king. The minister was furious, and he killed him with a sword......"
Before the words fell, the emperor's face suddenly turned pale and he sat down in his chair.
