Dadu, Smoke Valley.

This is a strange place one hundred and fifty miles away from the capital to the north, and it is covered with clouds and mist all the year round, and the cold wind is biting, so that it has always been inaccessible. However, in the heart of this trough, there is a castle that stands all year round.

The dark purple base of the wall makes it difficult to reflect sunlight, giving it an eerie feel. However, above the city wall, the white marble fence decoration shows the extraordinary. The city gate is made of heavy solid wood, and above the city gate, a stone plaque naturally blends into the surrounding walls, and the two quaint characters are neatly written in a uniform small seal script:

"Thousand machines".

This is the sect of Qianjimen, its geographical location is very unique, lying in the north of the capital, only a short more than 100 miles away from the capital, as if guarding the capital, it can be seen that the special relationship between Qianjimen and the royal family.

Inside the castle, you can see the milky white six-petal lotus flower pattern used as a decoration everywhere. Walking through it, it is like being in a sea of flowers, magnificent and stunning.

At this moment, a person walked briskly from the central aisle, his eyebrows were very thin, and with the hooks at the corners of his eyes, the eyebrows of copper makeup were a little feminine. The color of his hair was an extremely rare dark green, and his long hair hung down slightly to his waist, and he was loosely restrained with two golden-textured silk threads, which looked extremely casual.

His facial features have a distinctly southern vibe, but in his clothing is typical of Kyoto's pan-shirt, so it seems somewhat contradictory.

His eyes are the most memorable, with long eyelashes. Under the eyelashes is a pair of willow leaf eyes with thin tops and flat bottoms, which naturally have a half-flavored taste of autumn water.

He walked all the way, and all the entourages in the past bowed and saluted, and none of them had the intention of hindering him, which shows the high status of his status. Because his name is Li Jiabei, the people in the rivers and lakes are called "Mudao people", and he is one of the five protectors of Qianjimen.

When he finally arrived at a two-story Buddhist hall in the depths of the city, Li Jiabei stopped. He looked at the closed door of the Buddha Hall, smiled a little helplessly, and then said loudly: "The Mudao people ask to see the ancestral emperor, and they have important things to say. ‘

Half a day, the door opened automatically, and a scent of sandalwood was smelled, and a deep voice came out of the Buddhist hall: "Come in." ”

Li Jiabei strode neatly into the Buddhist hall, and looked at the Buddha statue enshrined in the Buddhist hall for the first time.

The Buddha statue is about five meters high and three meters wide. The entire Buddha statue is gilded, and the surface is cast in gold, which is integrated and reflects a brilliant golden light under the direct sunlight. The Buddha statue is a statue of the Dharma. On the base of the dark golden six-petal lotus flower, the Buddha sits on his knees, his left hand is placed horizontally on his left knee, and his right hand is bent upwards to make a ring, which is called "Dharma Seal".

The face of the Buddha statue is solemn, and the miraculous thing is that looking at the face of the Buddha statue from different directions has different feelings. The changes in the expression of the Buddha statue, or kindness, or solemnity, or praise, or open-mindedness, or detachment, are mixed together, and it highlights the majestic bearing of the Buddha statue, which is simply vividly displayed in front of you.

Although it was not the first time he had seen this Buddha statue, Li Jiabei was still shocked by its bearing. He paused, then turned his gaze to a room to the left of the statue. It was a sandalwood room, and in this room, a person was sitting there, faintly, and this person was a little similar to the Buddha statue enshrined in the Buddha hall. But unfortunately, in front of the door of this wing room, a string of hanging beads hung on the beams, covering the appearance and shape of the person in the wing room.

Li Jiabei walked to the front of the wing room and said respectfully: "The emperor has decreed that this martial arts will be held at the foot of Tianzhu Mountain in a month, and it is estimated that this time the Xiao and Lu gangs will definitely arrange personnel to participate in the martial arts." The emperor means that you are invited to go out of the mountain and use the power of our Qianjimen to wipe out the Xiao and Lu gangs this time!"

Hearing this, the ancestral emperor slowly closed his eyes, the Buddha beads in his hand slowly turned, and a faint blue light quietly emitted from one of the Buddha beads and spread rapidly, and soon rendered the entire string of Buddha beads into a somewhat weird dark blue.

Suddenly, Zu Di's eyes widened, and the whole pupil showed a transparent pale blue under the sunlight shining in from the door, bright as if you were throwing an open fire into a dry well, that deep brightness, it was really unforgettable.

"Hehe," he suddenly spoke, and a deep voice sounded: "Mu Daoren, you go and tell the emperor that this time the martial arts will be postponed for a year or more anyway." "What?" Li Jiabei was shocked and said, "This is the emperor's own will." Emperor Zu, please think twice!"

"Say no more. Emperor Zu resolutely said: "Regarding this martial move, this emperor has a very bad premonition, so it must be postponed later." ”

"But ......" Li Jiabei hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but say: "You have no jokes, I'm afraid the emperor won't change it easily this time, right?"

Emperor Zu didn't say anything, just stared at Li Jiabei tightly with his transparent eyes. Under the gaze of this kind of gaze, Li Jiabei only felt as if his inner thoughts had been seen through by the other party, and he had to bite the bullet and say: "My subordinates understand, and I will definitely tell the emperor to ask for a postponement." ”

When Emperor Zu heard this, he would say that he would give up. He looked away and said lightly, "You are looking for Bendi, is there anything else?"

"That," Li Jiabei cleared his throat and said a little helplessly: "Princess, she sneaked out of the palace again, and the emperor ordered the Forbidden Forest Army to check all night, but I haven't found it until now!"

"yes, I see. Emperor Zu said lightly: "Xu'er, this girl is by nature, and she is eccentric. It's good to go out and experience the experience, and nothing big should happen. You can gather some people from the Thousand Machines Gate who are staying in the capital and assist the Forbidden Forest Army in finding them. ”

"The subordinates understand. Li Jiabei replied respectfully, "Then there is nothing to do, and the subordinates will retire first." ”

Emperor Zu turned the Buddha beads in his hand and said to Li Jiabei: "Go back to the capital quickly." In addition, I told the emperor that the emperor was going to retreat and practice in this Misty Valley for a period of time, which was one of the reasons why I postponed the martial arts. It's been a while, so don't let anyone bother me if it's okay. ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired. Li Jiabei said goodbye to the ancestral emperor and hurried back along the road he had walked when he came.
