March 25 of the first year of Shengong.

Unlike in the past, when it was the end of the day, the various doors of the Shendu were very quiet. In front of each workshop, a group of people gathered, regardless of men, women and children, all dressed neatly, many of them also wore baskets on their arms, put some freshly steamed pasta, just hoping to worship in front of the living Buddha, worship and pray for blessings.

The drumming sounded rhythmically, and the people of Shendu City walked out with smiles on their faces. One by one, they laughed like Maitreya Buddha, and today they are not allowed to be angry, and the market splashes who are full of dirty words on weekdays have also become polite, even if they spit out half of the unclean words, it is also disrespectful to the Buddha.

Today is the day when Master Xuan Tan returned from the Western Regions to seek the true scriptures, and news came from the state capitals of various places where he went. Buddhist monasteries and temples are all called gurus.

Legend has it that Xuan Tan went through hardships and finally obtained the true scriptures, and obtained more than 650 Sanskrit scriptures in the two temples of Jialan Bodhi in the Western Regions, and even led a total of 49 monks from the two temples to return together.

The Son of Heaven greets, hundreds of officials congratulate, and people from all over the gods will go to greet him, which is a rare grand occasion in the world.

As soon as the people who greeted Xuan Tan came from the workshop, they were attracted by the sound of hurried horses' hooves.

Groups of heavily armored soldiers stood on the long street with halberds in their hands, one person every five steps, almost impenetrable to the entire Suzaku Street. Several lieutenants rode on horseback, patrolling back and forth. The vendors who set up stalls on both sides have naturally been dispersed, from Dingding Gate in the south of the city to Suzaku Gate, this road is the distance for His Majesty to welcome the mage, and it needs to be closely guarded and safe.

Imperial City, Purple Spirit Palace.

Compared with the bustle outside the palace walls, it seems a bit rigorous here.

A huge bronze mirror reflected the empress's face, and the purple furnace was still burning with sandalwood, making her face a little blurred.

The Son of Heaven came out to greet him, according to the system to wear the crown, the Great Zhou Dynasty was established by virtue, and the empress was wearing a crimson robe that was extremely bright. There are eight chapters embroidered on the clothes, each of which is the sun, the moon, the star, the dragon, the mountain, the Chinese insect, the fire, and the Zongyi. There are four chapters in the dress, and the collar is a dragon. There are several intricate embroidery patterns on the edges of the cuffs. Leather-belted green jade, with a long sword at his waist, and twelve crowns of white jade beads hanging from his head.

This is the emperor's dress only on formal occasions, everything is tailored to the empress's figure, not bloated, but more luxurious.

At this moment, this crown has been put on, but there are only some details, and Xiao Qianqin needs to adjust it. The empress asked the rest of the palace to retreat, leaving only two people.

"Your Majesty, the Shendu Mansion has come to report that Xuan Tan has reached the official road ten miles away from the Shendu. At this moment, all the people are empty, and the people are all welcoming each other, which is really a grand occasion in the world. Xiao Qianqin sorted out the leather belt for the empress, this leather belt is a little crooked, and the empress must be meticulous when she travels.

The empress's face did not show a smile, she picked up a cup of tea from the table and took a sip: "Have you ever seen the things sent by Jing Liang yesterday?" ”

Xiao Qianqin replied: "The minister has seen it." ”

"Tell me what you think."

Xiao Qianqin seemed to have expected the empress to ask her this, and while arranging the crown on the empress, she said: "The Imperial History Observatory is from top to bottom, and anyone who has dealings with Fang Chuchu should be examined. The head of the Tianguan Examination Division participated in this matter, but it was difficult to ensure that the rest of the divisions were single and outside the world, and the minister suggested that this matter was not easy to make public, and he could secretly edict the Si Xing Si Qing Wei Xiangming and let him secretly investigate the matter. ”

The empress suddenly waved her hand, Xiao Qianqin let go of her hand, and stood aside.

"I didn't expect that such a trusting courtier would do such a hurtful thing. Could it be that my lack of virtue led to God's punishment of me? The empress's face was a little haggard.

Xiao Qianqin said: "This matter is what they did to deceive the king, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty." ”

The empress shook her head helplessly: "I still have to hide it, I took the country of Emperor Yang back then, and the group of old ministers in the court already had a complaint." Women have never been allowed to enter the court as officials since ancient times, and although I forcibly made them lower their heads, it is difficult to ensure that they are not convinced. If they knew, they didn't know what they would accuse me. ”

Only in the inner palace will the empress show her delicate side.

Xiao Qianqin knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, the minister guarantees that this matter will be carried out strictly and will not reveal the slightest!" ”

The empress leaned in front of Xiao Qianqin, held her cheek, and suddenly smiled: "You are a good boy, you have worked hard all these years, today's recital has three prime ministers to judge, you go out with me to meet the holy monk Xuan Tan." ”

The empress grabbed Xiao Qianqin's hand with her hand, like a mother dragging her child.

If King Liang and King Yan stood here, they would definitely be envious.

Even if they are the empress's biological sons, they haven't been so close to the empress for a long time.

……

The prosperity of the city has nothing to do with the lonely mountains and mountains in the remote places.

Another person's head was cut off, and the corpse lay on its side, Tang Yun finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore, and collapsed heavily on the ground, taking a greedy breath of air, even if it was also mixed with pungent blood.

He didn't know how many people he had killed, but he remembered that since last night, he had been cutting off the heads of these people all the time.

They are not people, they are monsters.

Cut in the heart, it is of little use to these monsters. Only by cutting off their heads can their lives be temporarily ended.

This is a fantasy, a place that doesn't exist, but it's very real. He saw with his own eyes that a man had been decapitated, but the head that had fallen to the ground flew back to his head, and the man walked towards him step by step.

Shura purgatory, killing countless people. Both mentally and physically, they are suffering.

"I've got the water." Coming to his lips was a pair of hands.

There were no cups, and there was only a bush around them to hide the two of them.

The eldest grandson Lingxiu scooped water with his hands, and when he came, he was obviously holding a full hand, but the water leaked out of his fingers, and in the end, only a little water remained. Tang Yun buried his face in the hands of the eldest grandson Lingxiu, licking every drop of water greedily.

"I didn't find food, everything changed in the village." The eldest grandson Lingxiu's eyes looked a little haggard.

She remembered all this, and after Tang Yun blocked three knives for herself, blood sprinkled on her face, making her subconsciously snatch the knife and kill. Her swordsmanship became more and more proficient, so she gradually remembered the swordsmanship taught to her by her father, the eldest grandson Zhongyong, and many people, and remembered the past.

"Since you are a hundred horsemen, do you have any arrows on you to notify the outside?" The eldest grandson Lingxiu asked.

Tang Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I have already left the hundred horses, not to mention that there is fog in this valley, and it is invisible from the outside." ”

Tang Yun suddenly lay on the ground vigilantly, this is already close to the exit of Taoyuan Village, and if you go out from here, you can get through this predicament.

However, the villagers apparently expected this as well. They were all standing at the exit, their red eyes staring around.

Tang Yun tightened the knife on his body, even if it was the tiger head knife refined in the hundred horses, it had already been curled. The knife on Tang Yun's body is a kitchen knife, one inch short and one inch dangerous, compared to the tiger head knife, the kitchen knife is more dangerous.

"We can't wait, we have to kill them right away!" Tang Yun stood up.

The eldest grandson Lingxiu hurriedly stopped: "Your injury is not healed yet, rest for a while before going out." Since the general of Zuo Xiaowei has seen you before, if they don't find you, they will definitely check around here! ”

Tang Yun didn't tell the eldest grandson Lingxiu about his speculation, because even if he told her, it would be useless.

The eldest grandson Lingxiu is just a head catcher of Sixing Temple, and he doesn't even have a grade. Don't talk about telling the empress, it's all delusional to connect closely. If she talks nonsense in a hurry, I'm afraid that Ruoshui next to the empress will kill her directly.

If water?

Tang Yun suddenly thought of the girl A Qiao he met in Fang Chuchu's mansion.

Tang Yun took out the waist card from his arms and handed it to the eldest grandson Lingxiu: "After you go out, take my waist card and go to Ruoshui to find a captain named Ah Qiao." Your Majesty shouldn't have left the city yet, you have to stop Your Majesty before she leaves the city! ”

Tang Yun told his eldest grandson Lingxiu about his speculation.

The white fox wants to assassinate His Majesty!

The eldest grandson Lingxiu was already panicked when he first encountered a big change, but now that he was told such a big event by Tang Yunyi, he let out a sigh, and the waist card in his hand fell directly to the ground.

"Take it, remember, if you can make an impression in front of Your Majesty this time, maybe the cause of your father's death, Your Majesty can ask someone to help you find out, it's better than you burying your head in search of clues!" Tang Yun put his waist card back in the hand of the eldest grandson Lingxiu.

At the mention of his father, the eldest grandson Lingxiu's face suddenly changed.

"Your Majesty can't die, so you, you must stand up!" Tang Yun suddenly got up and rushed over with a shout at the crowd.

"What are you doing!" Eldest Sun Lingxiu got up, and she suddenly realized Tang Yun's intentions.

I saw that the group of people who were like crazy demons all rushed over after seeing Tang Yun, but the place where they exited was empty.

Tang Yun wants to lure everyone away and give the eldest grandson Lingxiu a way out!

……

Shendu, Chenshi.

The sun is three poles, and the sun is shining in the sky.

Above the official road, bursts of Sanskrit sounds can already be heard from afar, from far and near, leisurely.

Faintly a bell blew, and a golden Buddha statue that was five feet high was carried over, and the golden Buddha statue stood on a lifting wheel, carried by ten strong men.

Next to the golden Buddha statue, there are several lifts each, and there are high monks wearing robes on each lifting, sitting cross-legged and chanting. Their appearance is still somewhat different from that of the people of Dongtu, with a high nose bridge and clear contours, but all of them are kind and kind, and they look very kind.

Among the monks, there is a person wearing a golden robe, holding a Zen staff, the left hand is beaded, the treasure is solemn, closing his eyes and chanting, sitting under the golden Buddha statue. When boarding, the surrounding flags and clouds are spreading, hunting and hunting, blowing the magic instrument and ringing the bell, such as entering the Buddha realm.

On both sides of the road, there was already a fall of worship, and everyone chanted in unison, their eyes showing piety. If it weren't for the soldiers with swords guarding the area, they would have rushed over and bowed down to the throne of the holy monk.

The movement on the official road gradually spread, and many people near the city gate also bowed down.

At the same time, the Vermilion Bird Gate was opened, and the seventeen fast horses bore the brunt, all of which were like water. Then a burst of flags were unfurled, and the Yulin guards came out with a jade chariot, on which the dome was carved with gold hanging clouds, and the surrounding was gilded, and the four pillars were painted with golden cloud dragons, and the cyan ribbon was tied to the wheel, fluttering in the wind. There are sixteen dragon flags in the back, and each has a general who travels in a car from the Son of Heaven. On both sides, there are two pieces of incense burner and water bottle for waiters, thirty people standing on the left and right with ceremonial knives, thirty-six flags, and one hundred and eighty flags.

The people worship all around, and the mountains shout long live.

It was an unprecedented spectacle, and the court painter's face turned red, and he forcibly controlled his trembling hands with extreme excitement.

He's going to draw this scene.

When the brush fell, a piece of danqing gradually appeared on the paper.

"Hey, how come there is a white fox?" The painter thought he was dazzled, but he still left the white fox on the paper.

The white fox scurried through the crowd, and no one noticed it except the painter.

The light white fox, moving fast, a phantom, makes people mistake it for a wild cat.

The eyes of the white fox, the figure that fell in the jade chariot, suddenly revealed a touch of hatred.

The guards were guarding people, who would have thought that it would be a fox who would finally launch the fatal blow.

What the white fox wants to do is what many people want to do but dare not do.

It wants to assassinate the emperor of the Great Zhou under the gaze of tens of thousands of people!
