183: Shadow God

(Cat pounces Chinese) The fourth king of Jin heard that Princess Mingyue was angry, and he smiled and replied as if he was not as knowledgeable as a beauty

"How much ability you have, how big you say, this king is just a matter of facts, don't be angry, princess!" Mingyue didn't give a good face, ignored him anymore, turned around and returned to Feng Xiangpo's side, and whispered something to the old woman.

Emperor Yan was still waiting above, Cao Gui'an said

"Fourth prince, please!" The fourth king of Jin also leaned over and made a big salute, then raised his hands, clapped his palms, and his attendant carried a large wooden box up, after listening to the words of the fourth king of Jin just now, everyone was curious about what treasure was in the box, and the crowd surged forward.

The box looks very heavy, it needs to be carried by two together, and when it reaches the middle position, the fourth king of Jin walks over and opens the box, which seems to contain paper-cut things, only to see the flowers and green, it is very bright and festive.

Zhou Yuan was so close that he couldn't see what it was, so he asked Nan Zhao curiously

"Sister Zhao, what is that?" Nan Zhao replied with a pale face

"Paper Man!"

"Paper man?" Zhou Yuan was obviously a little disappointed, this is the treasure that the fourth king of Jin said was several times more wonderful than Princess Mingyue's collection of ancient paintings?

"It's a shame!" She then told Zhou Yuan

"It's not that I'm ashamed, the paper man in this box is a bit famous!" Shen Rusu, who was listening to her next to her, also came over and asked

"Lady, what is the name of that paper man?" Nan Zhao was just about to open his mouth to answer, when he suddenly realized something, and turned his head to look at him in surprise

"As such, what are you calling me?"

"Lady!" Shen Rusu looked like a matter of course. She didn't know whether she was happy or dazed, and smiled awkwardly, but her heart was empty.

I remember that when they first got married, Shen Rugu would occasionally call her 'madam', but never called her lady. She went through a lot of hardships to save Ruguo, but she was telling her every moment that he was no longer the Rugu she was familiar with!

Obviously, he is Shen Ruguo, but she seems to miss another person.

"Lady, tell me quickly, what is the reputation of that paper man?" Nan Zhao came back to his senses and preached to them with the meticulous attitude of Fang Cai

"Those paper figures have aura on them, not dead things!" Almost before the words fell, a middle-aged man in a purple robe beside the fourth king of Jin recited a spell to the paper figures in the box, and saw that the paper figures that were originally folded suddenly moved, the first one sat up, crawled out of the box, and in the process of climbing, it was originally a piece of paper, but it suddenly became round, flesh and blood.

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but exclaim

"The paper man is alive!" The paper man is indeed alive, and there is more than one paper man, there are a total of eight paper figures in the box, seven women and one man, they climbed out of the box respectively, and under the attention of everyone, they became big living people.

The last one to come out was the only male paper figure inside, but everyone's attention was on the female paper figures, because after those female paper figures lived, they had graceful figures, and their faces were all captivating, laughing or talking, and they would spin.

After all the paper figures came out of the box vividly, he recited a mantra, and then saw the male paper figure holding the guqin, sitting on the ground, the beautiful sound of the qin plucked out from the strings, and the seven female paper figures danced when they heard the sound.

"Good! Beauty! Beautiful! Emperor Yan was dazzled and couldn't help but get up from the throne and clap his hands.

"That male paper man ......" At this time, Nan Zhao looked at that side with a stunned expression, and Zhou Yang, who was also watching the female paper figure dancing just now, heard her voice, and immediately turned his gaze, this look, almost the same reaction as her.

"The paper man looks like ...... Like old friends! As soon as these words came out, many people around had already found a male paper figure playing the piano on the red carpet in the middle, who looked very similar to a son in the viewing group, and even the robes on his body were very similar.

"It's exactly the same!" Shen Rugu was also surprised, looked at himself, and then looked at the male paper man in front of him, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought that he had left a twin brother in this world.

Even the onmyoji who was casting spells on the paper figures didn't expect that he would be on there today, and see a real person who looked the same as his paper figures, and when the paper people were still dancing and playing, he strode over, carefully looked at Shen Rugu's face, and asked

"Dare to ask this son's name?"

"Shen Ruguo!" Shen Ru gave it up! Heiner didn't say anything more, except to glance at them from time to time.

The dance of those paper figures has entered the most wonderful stage, the sound of the piano has become lighter, and the dancing posture of the female paper figures has become lighter and lighter, and people can't take their eyes off it.

Suddenly, Nan Zhao saw a dark shadow pass through, and the female paper figures who were dancing suddenly dyed with fire, which were originally alive, and when they were burned by the fire, they also let out a miserable sound, like paper, and soon burned out!

The crowd was so shocked that they didn't know what had happened. However, some people can see that it was someone who has moved their hands and feet, and Heiner also saw that the shadow shuttled among the paper figures, and the paper people would burn, and he tried to catch the shadow, but the shadow was very fast, and quickly hid in the crowd and disappeared!

The four princes of the Jin Kingdom were still proud of their wonderful paper figure dance one moment ago, and the next moment he saw that two paper figures were burned, and the other paper people also knew that they were afraid, so they stopped dancing, and they were shocked, and he immediately asked

"Master Haina, why is that?" The Yan Emperor above was also swept away, but he thought that the paper man himself had a problem, so he didn't ask too much, and as the lord of a country, he also persuaded him

"Fourth Lord Jin, I believe that everyone here has seen this special gift you brought, and there is no need to be angry about this unexpected appearance in the middle!" Haina hurriedly walked over and said something to the four princes of the Jin Kingdom, and the four princes' faces darkened, and they couldn't hide their anger and said to Emperor Yan in a loud voice

"Your Majesty, it seems that there are people who want to get along with the emperor today!" Emperor Yan's complexion also changed,

"What did the fourth prince say?" The other party stepped forward

"Those who come here today to go to Bodhi are all people with lofty ideals who suspect the fear of the gods and the compassion of the common people, and at such an important time, there are people who openly disturb the evil spells and destroy the Dharma rites when they are offering gifts to the emperor, and their crimes should be punished!" Emperor Yan was told by him and asked,

"Could it be that the paper figure spontaneously combusted just now, and someone was obstructing it?"

"Exactly! The person who does this technique is not right, and at this moment it is burning the paper man, maybe if he waits for a while, he will burn the living person! "The fourth prince of Jin fanned a good wind, and Emperor Yan really paid attention to it.

It was also at this moment that the shadow suddenly appeared on the roof above the emperor's head, and Wu Yazi was the first to notice it and shouted

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

"Bang!" It was the rubble on the top that fell, and if it weren't for the fact that Wuyazi pulled the emperor away, it would probably have fallen on his head!

The rooms of the temple are very high, and the rubble of the Bodhi Temple, the hall of the Great Hero, is all cylinder tiles, round, not light, from such a high place, you can kill people on the spot!

"Escort! Escort! Cao Gui'an shouted, and the former Jinshou general had rushed over to protect the emperor by his side.

Seeing this, the people below were also noisily discussing something. And the emperor was attacked, it was not trivial, the imperial avant-garde wearing light armor soon approached from outside, surrounding this place impenetrable, no one expected that this was just the beginning, because of the black shadow that came out to make trouble!

Master Xuanci, the abbot of Bodhi Temple, came over and said to Emperor Yan

"This troublemaker is intent on destroying Bodhi, the emperor, you must not let this person succeed, the ambition has been made, the mind is strong, and it cannot be interrupted!" Emperor Yan also felt reasonable, and immediately said to the crowd watching the ceremony below

"There are people here who are trying to assassinate Bodhi, and if any of you find out the culprit, I will be rewarded!" In addition to the dignitaries and nobles below, there are also many people from the Xuanmen Sect, who are ready to move when they hear the emperor's words.

Who doesn't want to stand out in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only to be rewarded by the emperor, but also to be appreciated like Wuyazi, stay in the court to get an official title, glorify the ancestors, and become famous in Kyushu from now on?

At this time, a Taoist priest wearing a cyan robe walked out, and Mao recommended himself

"The poor Qingzhou White Lotus Guanguan Lord, the law name is Baixu, I am willing to find out this person who is secretly making trouble for the emperor!" As soon as Zhou Yang saw this Taoist priest, he was still thinking about why he was so familiar just now, as soon as he heard the Dharma name, he immediately turned his head to look at Nan Zhao, and saw that her face also fluctuated, as if he found that he was reading words in the afterglow, Nan Zhao turned his eyes and smiled at him.

In this way, when they first met, the events that happened on Qingyun Mountain were vivid. Today, there are also many people who come to worship Bodhi, and there are several faces around Bai Xu, who Nanzhao will never forget in his life, because these people have tied her to a shelf on the charge of being a demon star, and put twelve bone sealing needles into the bones.

On that day, her muscles and bones were broken, and the people in the Daomen thought that even if she could go down the mountain, she would not live long! Unexpectedly, after a few months, they would still be able to see each other!

Seeing each other again, Nan Zhao couldn't help but think of the oath she made in front of the master's coffin that day, and now she has found the original answer, and only a wry smile can show the desolation in her heart at the moment.

When Emperor Yan saw that there was a high way to solve his doubts, he naturally encouraged him and praised him

"The White Lotus View is the first of the eight great views in my Yan National Dao Gate, and the White Void Daoist is the outstanding high Dao among today's Daoists, I believe that if the White Void Dao Master makes a move, the sinister villain behind the plot will definitely find out soon." After speaking, he asked Bai Xu

"The Tao is profound, can you know who is the person who disturbs the scheme?" Bai Xuan replied respectfully

"When the four princes of the Jin Kingdom presented these paper figures, Poor Dao saw a dark shadow shuttling quickly, Poor Dao guessed, that dark shadow is not a person, but a spirit and evil, can appear in broad daylight, or in the Buddhist temple, someone must be protecting it!" As he spoke, the other people in the crowd who knew a little bit of Taoism all nodded one after another, admiring Bai Xudao's sharp eyes and reasonable analysis.

Shen Rugu clasped his hands in front of his chest and said jokingly

"Poor Dao looks at these Taoist priests in general, and their ability to praise each other is outstanding, just a few words, and they haven't even made it clear what that dark shadow is, so many people praise it, it's really a misfortune for the Daomen!" Nan Zhao had already seen the faces of these Daomen, and for the first time, he felt that he and Lu Donglai were simply 'smelling alike'.

At this time, Emperor Yan asked above

"That White Void Dao Chief, do you know who the person who shelters the shadow is who is?" Bai Xu's eyes swept sharply over the crowd standing below, and during this period, he also met Nan Zhao's gaze, and he said to Emperor Yan

"Today, the poor road and the Taoist people came to Bodhi, there are two reasons, one is to pray for the vicissitudes of life, the great source, and pay homage to the holy light of the Bodhi relics, and the other is that a few months ago, the poor road watched the stars at night, and saw that the palace star was chaotic, and there was a demon star in the world, and on the day of the calculation, there would be a crisis of the rotation of the world, which was a trillion in the world, so I had to come!" When Emperor Yan heard this, he immediately spoke up

"All the high Daoists care about the world, which is really commendable!" Bai Xuan replied with a bow

"It is the destiny of our Taoists to be able to solve problems for the emperor!"

"Poof-" Lu Donglai couldn't help laughing, and sarcastically

"I don't think this white void is like a Taoist chief, but like a father-in-law who follows the emperor, this spirit of flattery, being a Taoist priest, is really condescending!" His voice was not small, but fortunately, there were many people, and they were far away, and no one noticed.

Emperor Yan asked

"Does the White Void Dao Elder know who that villain is?" Everyone looked at Bai Xu, looking at his calm and confident appearance, probably the murderer had been found!

Sure enough, he raised his hand and pointed to a certain spot in the crowd and said categorically

"It's the woman with the surname Nanming!" As soon as the emperor heard the name of Bai Xudao's words, his expression changed greatly, he and Nan Zhao had an agreement in advance, could it be that she really made a hindrance from it, trying to mess with the Bodhi Dharma Society to save herself?

Sima Feng, who was also standing below, was not happy when he heard this, and immediately stood up and said to Emperor Yan respectfully with the majesty of that general

"Your Majesty!! This Taoist priest is open-mouthed and alarmist, his words are not credible! "In front of everyone, even if the emperor has his own calculations, he will not show his selfishness, let alone take sides, so he said fairly

"Nan Zhao is a distinguished guest of the Duke of Zhenguo, and he is also the righteous sister of the King of Tai'an, Baixu Dao Chief, what is the basis for you to say this?" Bai Xu's face did not change and explained

"I believe that all the Taoist friends in the station have also seen the shadow that is haunting, like a ghost but not an ordinary ghost, but a phantom ghost, this spirit needs to open the eyes of the sky to see, "Hundred Ghost Records" has been recorded, the phantom ghost is the ghost that stays in the world for too long, can not be reincarnated ghost after being raised by the spirit of the spirit, can haunt during the day, only listen to the words of the person who raised it, otherwise, it will be wiped out! Except for appearing in broad daylight, phantom ghosts are not powerful ghosts, but because it is too difficult to control phantoms, not many ghost keepers will raise them! Everyone listened to him very carefully, and Sima Feng really couldn't listen to it anymore, so he asked

"What do you have to do with Nan Zhao?" The other party replied

"Don't be in a hurry, Zhenguo Gong will go there."

"Although the phantom ghost is a ghost, the ghost aura on its body is already very light, but although the ghost aura is very light, it will still leave clues, and the one who can come here is a decent person from the Xuanmen, and it will never come into contact with the ghost, so everyone here is very clean, but she Nanzhao, with a ghost aura on her body, if it's not her, who will it be?" Nan Zhao stood a few meters away from Bai Xu, with a red carpet leading to the Daxiong Treasure Hall in the middle, listening to these words, he only felt familiar, thinking that when they thought she was a harmful demon star, wasn't it also in this tone?

Originally, after going through so much, the hatred at that time had faded a little, but when I heard it again, those bone sealing needles seemed to be pierced back again.

She didn't speak, her heart was tumbling violently, but her face was calm, she still wanted to hear what the other party had to say.

Sure enough, Bai Xuan lived up to expectations and continued to say to everyone

"Nan Zhao was born with a spirit flower on her right hand, and that spirit flower beckons ghosts and evils, and when her ability reaches a certain level, she can also control ghosts and evil spirits to act for her, so for others, it is difficult to control phantom ghosts, but for her, it is simply easy!"

"She does have a ghost aura in her!"

"I think it's really her, she was exposed in public, and her heart was so weak that she couldn't even speak!"

"This woman is the reincarnation of the demon star, and it has long been said in the prophecy!" There was a sound of judgment in the crowd, Nan Zhao was still unmoved, but Zhou Yang couldn't bear her being slandered by others, so she came out to protect her

"This king believes that my righteous sister is a person, it is not her who led the phantom ghost to do something here, this king can use his own king name to vouch, if she does it, this king will voluntarily reduce to a commoner!" Nan Zhao heard that his ninth brother actually said such things for her in front of everyone, and he was grateful in his heart, and he hated Bai Xuan who pushed her to the cusp, if it weren't for this old man, how could the ninth brother say such a thing, but let people with a heart see the joke.

The crown prince Zhou Zheng mocked above

"Then the ninth brother should remember what you said at the moment, don't be the real murderer when the time comes, but you can't fulfill this promise!"

"If this king dares to say it, he will definitely fulfill his promise!"

"Good, good!" The prince clapped his hands and asked

"Then how do you explain the ghost energy in her? There are a lot of people who have opened the eyes of heaven here, even if the White Void Dao Elder is wrong, are other people wrong? "The ghost qi on Nan Zhao's body is because she has just returned from the underworld, and her spirit has passed the three levels, and the red marks on her face that have been roasted by the yin fire have not yet dissipated, how can the ghost qi retreat?

In addition, the day before yesterday just caused a hundred ghosts to scare Shen Ru, and there is still a lot of ghost energy on her body at this moment! Do you want her to go forward and tell everyone the story of how she used to go through the underworld in order to restore her husband's soul?

She didn't have that idleness, and there was no excuse for the crime she wanted to add, even if she said it, these people might not believe it, she immediately took a few steps forward and said to Emperor Yan respectfully

"Your Majesty, the little girl does have a ghost on her body, but it doesn't belong to that phantom ghost, please let the emperor know what to do!" Discerning?

The emperor didn't understand what Nan Zhao was going to do for a while, but he didn't have the slightest fear to see her, but believed Bai Xu's words a little!

He called Wu Yazi to the side and asked

"According to the national teacher, that phantom ghost is from the hand of Nan Zhao?" Wu Yazi shook his head and said

"The appearance of that phantom ghost is very clever, and you know that its owner is very high, so just the shadow you saw just now can't confirm who is its owner, unless it appears again!"

"Again?" The emperor thought for a moment, and then said to the people below

"Regardless of whether the murderer is Nan Zhao or not, the murderer's intention is to disrupt the holding of Bodhi, which has been delayed a lot at this moment, and it needs to be continued, and Nan Zhao is personally guarded by the national teacher, and the national teacher's magic power is profound......" Before the emperor finished speaking, he saw that Bai Xudao suddenly reached out and touched his neck, revealing a very difficult appearance.

The person standing behind him immediately saw a shadow standing behind him, and it was this shadow that grabbed Bai Xu's neck and made it difficult for him to breathe.

Bai Xuan is more than ninety years old, and his body bones are no longer as good as those of young people, not to mention being choked by the neck to restrict breathing, there is no room for resistance at all, seeing that he is about to die here, his junior brother Bai Shi took out a ghost charm and pasted it towards the phantom spirit, who would have thought that the phantom ghost had already gained insight, and with a wave of his shadow hand, he actually beat Bai Shi who came up and flew up, and his body fell from mid-air, and he fell unconscious on the spot, and everyone was shocked!

Just now, Bai Xuan also said that this phantom spirit is not a powerful ghost, and this time it seems that it is simply a fart!

This phantom ghost is not only powerful, daring to haunt the Buddhist Dharma at will, but also under the noses of the world's Xuanmen people, he poisoned the head of the Eight Great Views, known as the Ghost Hunting Heavenly Master, Bai Xudao Chief, it is almost against the sky!

When the other people of the Eight Great Temples saw that Bai Shi was in a coma and Bai Xu's life was about to be gone, they didn't hesitate, and they all took out their magic weapons to descend ghosts and came forward to catch ghosts!

The phantom ghost was not easy to deal with, it saw that all the Taoist priests came forward to catch it, and flew to the roof with the dying Bai Xu!

"White Void Dao Chief!" There were many Taoist priests who were good at light skills and jumped up the wall, but they were soon knocked down by the phantom ghost, and they fell from such a high place, and several of their legs and feet were broken.

The imperial guards were busy escorting, and the dignitaries were frightened by this strange sight, and the crowd was chaotic.

The more at this time, the more Nan Zhao didn't dare to take it lightly, to avoid being pushed by the chaotic crowd, she escorted Shen Ru and Zhou Yang and others to an open place behind, and saw that those Taoist priests on the roof were still fighting with phantom ghosts, she asked Lu Donglai

"Can you see what's going on with that thing?" Lu Dong replied

"That's not a phantom at all! It should be a- Shadow God! ”

"What is a shadow god? Isn't it amazing? Zhou Yuan asked curiously. Nan Zhao frowned, very puzzled, afraid that Zhen Guogong and Zhou Yang, who were listening, would not understand, and she also deliberately explained in detail

"The shadow god is a demon, this kind of demon, not like those monsters in the mountains and forests, it is recorded in the "Demon Record" that it is a demon produced after tens of thousands of figures overlap, the demon power is strong, there are only two in the world, and they are only seen in the "Demon Record", how can it suddenly appear on Bodhi?" Lu Donglai also showed the same expression as her, his gaze moved from the front of the chaotic treasure hall to the outside, and suddenly realized

"It may not be possible to have a shadow god in other places, but there is one place where there is a very high probability that there is such a burial!" When she heard this, her face was shocked

"The Gate of Life and Death!" Cat flutter Chinese
