Xiao Ji: What is he doing here? How dare he appear in Junzhou City, and even show his head in the heavily guarded Cui Wangfu?

Yuchuni turned to look at Yifeng who had stopped, and asked, "Yifeng, what's wrong?"

Yifeng came back to his senses, but he didn't answer Yuchuni's words, this matter is too weird, Solomon's Shura actually appeared in the mansion of the Holy King of the Holy Academy.

Moreover, it seems that he did not sneak in, otherwise, with the vigilance of Cui Wangfu, he would have already discovered it, not to mention, Cui Ming's cultivation is unfathomable, and it is impossible for Xiao Ji to hide from him.

His mind was in a hurry, and he could only say, "No, uncle, I'm just amazed by this scenery." ”

Yuchuni rebuked in a low voice, "Yifeng, remember what we came here for!"

Ichikaze nodded and continued walking.

Cui Ming heard the conversation behind him, he glanced in the direction where the figure was flickering just now, smiled faintly, and walked forward.

In the depths of the palace, in front of the railing of a tall building, two figures stood still, looking at the pool of water in the distance, which was like the eye of the palace, and the three small figures in the corridor on the shore of the lake.

One person said, "Xiao Ji, are you really not doing it here?"

Xiao Ji was dressed in a green shirt, fluttering slightly in the wind, he shook his head and said, "Do it in the palace, King Cui's trouble will not be small." Not to mention the elite soldiers of the Dark Guard Brigade of the Longwu Army inside, if the Shenwei Legion outside is alarmed, things will be a big problem. In this way, our traces and the relationship with Cui Ming will be revealed. Although the Holy Lord has commanded, now is not the time. ”

The other person was naturally Yu Luo, he nodded, and Xiao Ji suddenly asked, "Yu Luo, are you sure that Wu Di will not sit idly by after seeing the disaster victim sent out?"

Yu Luo Xuan's robe, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Wu Di, on the way I was exiled, there were a few faces. He was demoted to the rank of county lieutenant in the countryside, and he was eager to make meritorious contributions. He faced the killing of the monks of Nanzong Temple, this kind of superficial miracle will not be easily let go. Therefore, he will definitely send someone to investigate, once he is a little convinced, so many dead victims in the valley of Xiaoshan Temple are enough to give Nanzong Temple and even the entire Buddha Dao a pot to drink. ”

Xiao Ji said: "The water is not muddy enough. ”

Yu Luo said: "Of course it is not muddy enough, so the Holy Lord will send people to the border." ”

Xiao Ji looked into the distance and said, "As the commander of the former Left Shenwu Legion, what do you think of Cui Ming." ”

Yu Luo said in a deep voice: "Scheming, more scheming than you." He stole the Buddha Slaying Frost from the palace to you, and he didn't have any good intentions. He just thinks that as soon as you succeed, he will be able to cause a riot and make a big fuss from Nanzong Temple.

"However, I didn't expect that our purpose was only for the Buddha, and you reduced the potion by half, not putting Master Ran to death, but trying to weaken his power. Previously, we thought that if our strength on the road was greatly reduced, we would be able to take the Buddha away. But I didn't expect that Nanzong Temple sent an extra powerful Yu.

"I didn't expect that when we were about to join forces to exert our supernatural powers, absorb tens of thousands of evil thoughts and resentful spirits, and release the great supernatural powers, that inconspicuous Buddha actually summoned the divine power of the Heavenly Buddha Kingdom and disintegrated the supernatural powers of you and me. ”

Xiao Ji smiled and said, "After all, he is a Buddha, and the Buddha of the Buddha Kingdom always favors him." However, we are not in vain, and this is not the introduction of calamity into the Buddha's path! It's just that it's not in Nanzong Temple, but in Xiaoshan Temple.

"And, this mess is even more interesting than his previous plan. However, don't tell Cui Ming just yet, give him a surprise. ”

Yu Luo also smiled: "Well, the water is still on the way to Junzhou at the moment." At that time, in the valley of the small mountain temple, on the surface, you seemed to be condemning tens of thousands of disaster victims and arousing their evil thoughts about Buddhism and Taoism, but in fact, you wanted to make this incident an ironclad proof of Buddhism's apostasy and slaughter of innocent people. This is the real punishment. ”

Xiao Ji looked indifferent, as if he didn't care about Yu Luo's praise.

Yu Luo continued: "However, I still can't see through Cui Ming, he has worked hard and kept looking for opportunities to make the Buddhist Gate commotion, why did he open the middle gate just now to welcome the monks? Although there seemed to be no one around the palace at that time, there were actually many pairs of eyes staring here. What is he doing this for?"

Xiao Ji said: "This is Cui Ming's city, he never wants people to see his mind." I speculate that although he secretly made many moves to make the Buddhism Gate chaotic, but if Emperor Dawu did not move, he would not be able to make a move in the open. Even, recently I heard that the Queen Mother was seriously ill, and with Emperor Wu's filial piety, Cui Ming took this opportunity to adapt to the situation and make a gesture of currying favor with Buddhism. ”

Yu Luo said: "What does this have to do with the Queen Mother being seriously ill?"

Xiao Ji said: "The Queen Mother is the main figure of the pro-Buddhist faction of the Dawu royal family, who has believed in Buddhism for a long time, and is known as "Lafayette" and "Buddha Queen Mother", and is also the only person who can restrain Emperor Wu and make him unable to make up his mind to attack Buddhism.

"Emperor Wu has a deep affection for the Queen Mother, and the current situation, not only can not mention the rights and wrongs of Buddhism, but also Emperor Wu at this time, filial piety has reached the strongest point, and it is estimated that he is also full of faith in the reincarnation of Buddhism.

"One is filial piety, and the other is the reincarnation of Buddhism, which makes it difficult for Emperor Wu to make a decision in his heart, and he is still attached to Buddhism. Cui Ming is good at perceiving people's hearts, knowing what to do and what not to do at the moment, to cater to Emperor Wu's thoughts. ”

Yu Luo asked: "What does it have to do with the reincarnation of Buddhism, Emperor Wu may not really believe in this?"

Xiao Ji said lightly: "Believe it or not, don't be anxious, just look at it later." ”

Yu Luo said: "Cui Ming is really cunning, but in this way, the little monk may have come in vain." ”

Xiao Ji raised his head, looked at the sky that seemed a little dark at this time, and sighed: "Yes, it's a pity that so many innocent people died in vain, for the little monk, death has no value at all, and he can't use this to change anything." ”

A gentle breeze blows, bringing a hint of invading coolness.

In Biluoxuan, Cui Ming took the lead, Li Yu and Yifeng sat on the left and right, the three of them sat down, and a servant had already placed the refreshments on the table and quietly retreated.

Outside the window is the colorful lotus in full bloom, and the green lotus leaves in the fields, the breeze blows, the flowers and leaves tremble, the fish puppets float in the water, and the ripples are flooded.

Cui Ming smiled and said: "Yan Yu, this king's mansion, how is this scenery, does it remind you of the time when you were in Junzhou?"

Yu Qiuni said: "The scenery on King Cui's mansion is, of course, the first in Junzhou City. At the beginning, I heard my brother say that King Cui was familiar with the Confucian classics in the Holy Academy, and he was very talented in governing the country and the country.

"Cui Wang is full of heroism, talented, and deeply cultivated, less than forty has stepped into the realm of Confucianism's morality', and has been committed to establishing a heart for heaven and earth for many years, establishing a life for the people, continuing to learn for the saints, and opening peace for all generations. The ambition of the bird is known to all the martial arts. ”

Cui Ming laughed and said: "Yan Yu, I have never heard Brother Ling say that you have such good eloquence before, Honghu Zhizhi dare not say it, just for the saddle of Emperor Dawu, for the well-being of all the people, and not to let future generations be spurned." ”

Yifeng said: "In this way, King Cui must be blessed with deep fortune and must be blessed by the Buddha." However, now that the people are in trouble, I wonder if King Cui has ever noticed it?"

Cui Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh?"

Yifeng said: "Last year and this spring, several prefectures in Dawu suffered natural disasters and insect infestations, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to flee, uprooted their hometowns, and died tragically on the side of the road. There is starvation on the way, people are like grass and trees withering yellow, burning out their lives, and there are still countless victims waiting for rescue, can the prince know?"

Cui Ming picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "I vaguely heard about it." ”

Yifeng folded his hands and bowed his head and said: "That is the case, presumably the prince's compassion is difficult to sustain himself, and I hope that the prince will think of the people of Li and ask for his life to save the victims." ”

Cui Ming put the teacup on the table and said, "Do you know why this disaster has come to this point?"

Yifeng said without hesitation: "It should be the first responsibility of the Buddha's path. ”

Cui Ming's heart moved, he originally wanted to hold Yifeng accountable, oppressing him to be difficult to justify, shaking his belief in Buddhism, and retreating in the face of difficulties.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Yifeng had already broken the aura of Buddhism and carried the sins on his shoulders.

Cui Ming's face turned cold, and he said lightly: "In this case, why don't you let the Buddha Dao reverse his body, and go to this king's mansion to make such an abrupt move?"

Yifeng hurriedly said: "Buddhism has fallen into the quagmire of interests, shoulder to shoulder, and it is difficult to save itself." It is necessary to use external forces to break the stubbornness. ”

Cui Ming said: "In the early years, this king advised Emperor Wu that the avenue is right, and the Buddha escapes from the world, which will disturb the right path of the avenue. But Emperor Wu thought about it repeatedly and couldn't make a decision, and now it has come true. But you have not come at the right time, and this king has something unspeakable, and it is difficult to promise you. ”

Yifeng was anxious and said anxiously: "What more can resist the lives of all the people in the world!?"

Cui Ming's anger surged up, and he shouted: "The kid is ignorant! If you don't break it, you can't stand up, and if you don't break it yourself, how can you stand on your own?" Emperor Dawu can't make a self-judgment at this time, and any advice is straightforward and admonished, but it will be a disaster!

"This king can disregard his personal life and desperately ask for his life, but behind this king, there are countless Confucian students in the world, Emperor Wu is angry, millions of corpses are ambushed, and Confucianism and Taoism collapse in an instant!

"Dawu's thousand-year-old history, this matter is not groundless, there is a historical tragedy, it is clear in sight, the victims and students are all human beings, their lives are more important, you are powerful, you can talk about it!?"
