The people of the Shendu City like to join in the fun, and whether they have a devotion to the gods and Buddhas or not, they will come here to gather.

North City specializes in silk and spices, which are the hard currencies in the Western Regions. Fine silk is a status symbol everywhere, and it is easy to see a person's identity from the cloth of his clothes.

It is rumored that the statue niche in the Longmen Grottoes outside the Shendu was built by the three major commercial houses in the North City at the same time. There is an inscription that says, "Beishi Xiangxing Society, the official An Seng Da, the record Shi Xuance, Kang Huicheng...... The people of the right piece society and others are dedicated to worshiping "the many commercial houses in the North City, or worship the Buddha."

In addition to the Longchen Temple, most of the items required for the Huayan Altar in Beishi were organized by the Beishi Chamber of Commerce, and they regarded it as an honor.

Early in the morning, the Buddha statue was placed on the Huayan altar, and the offering table was filled with incense, candles, melons and fruits and other tributes, and flags were swaying around. In the upper hall, several tablets are placed, on which lotus flowers are drawn, indicating the names of the sages.

When the monks of Longchen Temple escorted the monks to this place, it almost caused an unprecedented sensation.

The monk initially suppressed the tiger on the street, and was regarded as a miracle by everyone, and when the word of mouth was preached, it often had some exaggerated colors, so it gradually evolved into the tiger sitting directly on the ground, listening to the monk chanting the scriptures, and then converted to Buddhism.

"This should be the reincarnation of the Western Tiger Arhat!" Someone said firmly.

This undoubtedly sets off the image of the monk to be mysterious, when several monks are really surrounded by the monks of Longchen Temple, the people only know that they kneel on the ground, and many people are excited and can't help themselves.

The empress went to the Huayan Altar in Beishi, and she also had considerations.

It's not just because there are many people on Suzaku Street, but Xuan Tan wrote on the letter, indicating that he wanted to meet at Huayan Altar in Beishi.

From here to the long street in front of the North City, if you go out from the imperial city, it is more convenient to go out from the East Palace to the Xuanhua Gate in the east. But since the empress ascended the throne, there has never been a crown prince, and the East Palace has been in a state of abandonment.

The empress didn't like the cold palace, so she took a detour to go out from the left door, and the honor guard walked quickly, and after a while, she passed through the fang market and came to the front of the Huayan Altar.

At this moment, under the Huayan altar, all living beings stood solemnly and listened to the sound of Zen.

The empress instructed: "Just walk, put away all the fans of the honor guard, don't block the brilliance of the gods and Buddhas in the sky." I will personally offer incense and worship. ”

The jade chariot quickly stopped, and the huge honor guard was also put away.

The empress stepped down from the jade chariot, and several Ruoshui quickly gathered around the empress, except for the two princes of Liang and Yan, no one else approached.

Although the empress said that she wanted to keep a low profile, Ruoshui Baiqi had a large number of people in ambush among the people, and the outside of the entire North City, the inner and outer layers were surrounded by Yulin guards. Not to mention that people dare not trespass, it is estimated that ghosts will retreat.

As the crowd dispersed, the Empress walked to the altar, took incense sticks from all sides, lit them, and inserted them in the furnace.

The monk's expression was always indifferent, and there was no fluctuation in the slightest because His Majesty came. In the eyes of others, the appearance of the monk became more and more prominent.

The empress had a serious expression, and after offering incense and candles, she sat in front of the Huayan Altar and quietly listened to the monk's lecture.

The monk's voice is very distinctive, he speaks Sanskrit, many people may not understand it at all, but a sense of peace and tranquility can be transmitted from the bottom of the heart.

The Empress's brow gradually relaxed, and she felt both physically and mentally relaxed.

……

Lu Pengyuan rode his horse all the way, and just after fighting at this moment, the armor on his body was stabbed off a piece of armor, and at this moment, some of the lines connecting the armor pieces were loosened, which was very embarrassing.

He was in a state of madness at the moment, but fortunately there were no other people on this road, so he whipped his horsewhip and rushed quickly from the nearby wall of Yuji Fang to Beishi.

From here, you can see the tallest building in Beishi, where is Fengluan Pavilion, Lu Pengyuan's heart ignited a glimmer of hope, maybe the other party hasn't made a move yet, it seems that there is no movement. As long as the other party hasn't done it yet, he still has a chance.

"Stop, stop!"

On the winter side of Guiyifang, rows of Yulin guards had already erected their spears and roared fiercely.

Because the Empress is here, it is their duty to guard it and deter anyone who dares to trespass into it.

Lu Pengyuan came very unlucky.

Because several of the soldiers on the right guard had just fought with the assassins, the armor on their bodies was a little messy, and even covered with a lot of knife marks. They were like assassins who wanted to commit murder. Coupled with their murderous expressions, if it weren't for the armor of the Great Zhou Army, Yu Linwei would have already released arrows.

Lu Pengyuan whipped it over and shouted, "Dog, don't hurry up and get out of the way!" ”

The group of Yu Linwei was knocked down by the whip, and they were immediately angry in their hearts, and they all scolded, and stabbed them with spears.

This is no wonder to them, Lu Pengyuan's general's armor was originally very heavy, and he usually wore a unicorn brocade coat on the outside on weekdays. It's just that there is an assassin today, and the outer layer of unicorn brocade has already been torn, revealing only the layer of soft armor inside.

Yu Linwei's ordinary soldiers, let alone a general on weekdays, even if the chance of seeing a general is very small.

They didn't know Lu Pengyuan at all.

"Stop, this is our ......" A few right guards were just about to speak, and the group of Yulin guards rushed up with knives in an instant, and a few of them were scratched a few times when they landed.

They are all military men, where have they received this kind of treatment on weekdays, and the soldiers of the two guards are fighting together from time to time.

Even if Lu Pengyuan has practiced martial arts since he was a child, Yu Linwei, as a forbidden army, is also not a vegetarian. He rushed away from the two shield arrays, and was then stopped by the next shield array.

Boom Boom!

Yu Linwei's next shield array came, but at this moment, the hussars of the right Xiaowei also rushed over. Those right guards came late, and they happened to see Lu Pengyuan being beaten and retreated by a group of Yulin guards. Seeing that his own general was suffering, the people on the right guard could not stand it, and rushed in with a long knife.

In front of him, it suddenly turned into a confrontation between the two armies.

Click!

A military general rushed over with a long knife and shouted angrily: "Where did you come from, thief, Your Majesty's car is driving here, do you want to rebel?" ”

Lu Pengyuan shouted loudly: "Old General Xu, it's me, Pengyuan!" ”

The military general in front of him is named Xu Wuving, and now he is in the year of the cane country, and Xu has gray hair.

He is a legend in the Great Zhou army, and he has already become famous all over the world when he was in Qin. Among them, the most famous is to kill 400,000 soldiers in the Northern Wilderness, so that the Northern Wilderness Iron Cavalry, which dominated the world that year, was defeated and retreated, and made an alliance. He was undefeated in his life, and he had a lot of achievements. Almost a military god-like figure.

Xiang Lu Pengyuan is like Xu Wuxian's junior.

Xu Wudi's face was ruddy, his eyes were bright, if it weren't for his gray hair, he really couldn't tell his true age.

Xu Wudi recognized Lu Pengyuan, and hurriedly ordered the Jinwu guards to stop, and said angrily: "Mu Da, Your Majesty is going out today, what are you doing!" ”

Mu Da is Lu Pengyuan's word, his father and Xu Wudi are friends, according to the etiquette, Lu Pengyuan should call Xu Wudi his uncle.

Lu Pengyuan saw that Xu Wushu had already appeared here, and it was not clear where His Majesty was near here.

In a hurry, Lu Pengyuan hurriedly said: "Old general, someone wants to assassinate Your Majesty!" ”

Xu Wudi's eyes widened, and at this moment, an explosion came from the northeast, and from here he could feel that the ground was shaking.

"Let's go!" Xu Wushu shouted loudly and drove over.

……

Tang Yun rushed to Shendu from the Upper East Gate, and as soon as he walked onto this long street, he saw countless people fleeing in panic.

Tang Yun's heart sank, he knew that something had happened to the gods!

The street directly opposite the Upper East Gate can reach the North Market, and Tang Yun still remembers that there is also an outer altar here. Countless people were running wildly on the streets, and Tang Yun stopped one person and asked what was going on.

The man was panicked, Tang Yun asked three times in a row, and then he said tremblingly: "The ground ...... The ground is ruined! ”

Ground Dirty?

Tang Yun rode his horse and continued to move forward, and many panicked people ran on both sides, and finally came to the front of Beishi.

He saw a shocking sight.

The ground of the Shendu is first compacted with cement and then paved with neat masonry, and the number of masonry on each street is a certain amount.

Countless people walk down this street every day, and no one would have imagined that the ground would one day be crumbled.

The ground cracked into a deep hole, bottomless, and pitch black inside. The area where this pit appeared was before the Huayan Altar, and countless believers also fell down with the collapse of the ground.

Looking around the pit again, there were a lot of Ruoshui and Baiqi. And under the knives of a group of guards, there were several locust demons that had fallen in a pool of blood.

If the water and the hundred horsemen are dispatched, is Your Majesty coming?

"Lord Tang!" A crisp voice rang out.

Tang Yun turned his head, it turned out to be Ruoshui's Ah Qiao, her face was very panicked, her eyes were a little anxious, and her hair was full of green silk, swaying in the wind.

Tang Yun asked, "What happened?" ”

Ah Qiao said anxiously: "A few monks suddenly became monsters, we could still deal with those monsters, but the ground in front of Huayan Altar suddenly collapsed, and many people fell!" ”

"Is there anything Your Majesty has to do?"

"Your Majesty has been standing on the edge of the Huayan Altar and has not been injured, and now he has been escorted back to the palace by Yulin Guard." Ah Qiao said.

Tang Yun breathed a sigh of relief silently, as long as the empress was fine, the purpose of secretly planning all this was finally broken.

"But, His Royal Highness King Yan, he fell down with the people!" Ah Qiao suddenly said again.

King Yan?

Tang Yun's eyes widened, this was also an important person.

King Yan and King Liang are almost the two most noble princes of the Great Zhou now. Both were born to the empress, and if anyone can inherit the throne, they can only be chosen from among these two.

"How long has he been falling?" Tang Yun asked.

Ah Qiao said: "Less than a stick of incense!" ”

There is still a chance.

The ground had collapsed out of thin air, and the bottom had been completely hollowed out.

For some reason, Tang Yun suddenly remembered the ghost city of Fengdu.

Behind this, there must be the shadow of the ghost town of Fengdu.
