Chapter 142: Noon Has Arrived
"It's almost noon...... Why hasn't Mr. Ning come yet?"
In the main hall, the Tiandu "Mission" had already gathered, and a woman in black stood beside Yun Xun, who frowned and asked in a very soft voice: "In another quarter of an hour, the negotiations will begin." ”
The head of the intelligence department, who was dressed in a cloud-patterned robe, looked calm, raised his hand, and signaled that there was no need to worry.
The content of the negotiation in front of the Living Beings Building was known only to him and Ning Yi.
With an alliance already formed, it was impossible for Ning Yi to give up this negotiation.
On the other side, on the other side of the long table, the lark looked calm, but whispered a few words to Song Yiren beside him.
"Senior Brother Jinglian, I'm a little nervous, how long will it take for Mr. Ning to arrive?"
Song Yiren took off the hat, put up the long hair and passed through the hairpin, formed a round ball, he rarely changed into a formal Buddhist secular robe, black and gold-edged, descending the dragon and subduing the tiger, a majesty.
"This guy can't be doing something in Tianqing Pond and forgetting the hour......" he muttered and scratched his head.
There was a crisp sound of the sword unsheathed outside the hall.
A ray of sword light swept into the main hall.
Ning Yi withdrew the fine snow, stepped into the hall with some apologies, clasped his fists in all directions, and said softly: "Everyone, there is some trouble on the road, I have been delayed for a while, I am really sorry for waiting for a long time." ”
The great masters of the two sects of Zen and Vinaya were supposed to attend...... But because the Buddha appointed Song Jinglian and Ning Yi to send envoys, so Jin Yi and Mu Heng could only give up, but inside and outside the hall are surrounded by the disciples of the two sects of Zen Law, as well as the most elite monks and soldiers in Lingshan, the "shame" of bathing the Buddha Festival has spread among the high-level within the two sects, and the Buddha is safe in the small Wuliang Mountain all rely on Ning and Song to protect each other, and now in the territory of Lingshan, people from all over the world must not have the slightest "accident".
There are quite a few ascetics in Lingshan who have a very bad impression of Tiandu, and the reasons do not need to be repeated...... As a resident of the Pure Land, he was bound by the "Law of the Heavenly Capital", and in a sense, the imperial power was equivalent to insulting the purity of Buddhism.
This negotiation, before Ning Yi's arrival, was quite tense with "rumors".
Song Jinglian and Yun Xun looked indifferent, but the two groups of people behind them were all "sabre-rattling", and each pressed their fingers on the hilt of the sword...... The scene stiffened as noon approached, until Ning Yi appeared.
"Brother Ning. ”
Song Jinglian was the first to laugh, got up and strode forward, gave Ning Yi a hug, and then waved his hand silently, the monks and soldiers of Lingshan gave up a sufficient distance, and the sense of oppression disappeared suddenly, on the other side, Yun Xun also shook his sleeves and got up, and gave Ning Yi a salute very pretendedly, and laughed loudly: "Mr. Ning makes people wait." ”
"There was a junior who asked for a question, and he was delayed for a while. ”
Ning Yi returned the salute and sat down at the long table, he took a sip of the teacup and poured himself a drink, raised his eyebrows and said, "After all, noon has not yet come...... Besides, the protagonist of this day has not yet arrived. ”
......
......
"Your Highness...... Outside, Wu San, the head of the Intelligence Department, asked to see him. ”
The delicate voice sounded in the Chenglong Palace.
After Gonggong Hai saw the screen, the young figure waved his sleeves and said, "Tell Wu San that it's not there today." The main hall is about to rest. ”
The twists and turns of the past few days, the trivial matters of the court, were dealt with one day in advance, and Gonggong Hai thought that His Royal Highness the Prince was going to meet some "close ministers" in front of the Chenglong Palace today, but he never thought that the prince was to take time out to "rest".
"Wow-"
The figure standing outside the hall slowly receded.
The Chenglong Hall returned to calm, and behind the screen where the needles could be heard, the young prince was playing with the "Divine Sea Array" that had just been sent to the heavenly capital, and it looked like it was just an ordinary wooden long order, and even the carved traces of the formation pattern could not be seen on it.
However, the top-level formations are all burned with soul thoughts.
As early as when Ning Yi had just stepped into the heavenly capital, the prince ordered Lotus Tower to carefully investigate his identity...... Before the incident in Qingshan Mansion, Li Baijiao had already determined the existence of a "Great Array Mage" next to Ning Yi, and the later cracking of the Pei Family General's Mansion mystery confirmed that Pei Lingsu was the "Great Array Mage", which was amazing, at such an age, the formation attainments were already unique in the world.
Quietly broke through the formation of Ying Tianfu Academy.
Qingshan couldn't stop it.
The lotus flower can't see clearly.
This Divine Sea Array is from Pei Lingsu's handwriting?
"I'm going to look it up when I go back...... What's the mystery. ”
The prince chuckled lightly and glanced at the projection of the sundial outside the hall, and there was still some time before the hour.
He muttered to himself, as if hesitating.
"Noon...... ...... at noon"
After a moment's thought, he smiled and shook his head as he clasped his five fingers and squeezed the wooden order into his palm.
With a "boom", the illusory fire of the divine soul burst out around the prince.
The next moment-
Li Baijiao opened his eyes, it was an ethereal phantom, as if he had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, the soil under his knees, the mountains and rivers under his feet, retreated like light, and finally the picture twisted, piecing together the Lingshan Hall thousands of miles away, and one image after another appeared in front of him.
The irrelevant people in the hall have retreated, and the end of the long table has been reserved for themselves.
Sit alone on the highest point.
This is the supreme position enjoyed by the "emperor" of the Great Sui -
The people in the four realms are all people, and the atmosphere of the entire Lingshan Hall is the same as the Chenglong Hall in Tiandu.
There was utter silence.
Li Baijiao enjoyed this feeling very much, was waited for by everyone, and then he just appeared......
Everyone was waiting for his voice.
He saw Yun Xun, the head of the Intelligence Division, who looked nervous.
I also saw the young Buddha who was reincarnated as the "Jizo Bodhisattva".
On the left side of the Buddha, is his familiar "old friend" Song Jinglian, according to the identity, the two sons born of Nirvana, no matter where they go, are the top magnates, when they have not yet gained power, he has tried to win over, but unfortunately this young magnate does not have the slightest intention of chasing fame and fortune...... So in the end, it's a pity that even if the prince admires Song Yiren very much, the two can only become mediocre "nodding friends".
And the right side of the Buddha.
It was the guy who sent him the "Divine Sea Array" and invited him to participate in this negotiation.
The entire hall even reduced the sound of breathing to a minimum, and everyone was waiting, waiting for the person in the highest position to speak.
So the prince looked around and spoke.
"Everyone, excuse me. ”
......
......
The image of the crown prince appeared at the end of the long table in the main hall.
His eyes smiled and swept around, urging the "Divine Sea Array" in the territory of Tiandu, he was not worried at all that the wooden order was hidden and would pose a threat to his own safety - with that iron law rune paper hanging over the imperial city, as long as the big array was still there, then any killing intent against himself would not be effective.
In other words...... If the formation of the Iron Law Great Array is not closed, then even if he wants to kill himself with a sharp blade, it will be difficult to do so.
The young emperor's "momentum" has emerged at the moment when the fire on the long table is ignited.
Before the voice of "Everyone's Excuse Us" appeared, the envoy on Yun Xun's side had already bowed down and bowed.
The Buddha stood up and bowed slightly, which was considered to have been seen.
Song Yiren, who has always been a "nodding friend" with the prince, really nodded, and even sat up just to raise his buttocks, and sat down immediately after getting the prince's smile and nodding, and the ups and downs of the whole action were only a moment.
The prince is actually tired of dealing with these etiquettes, and after he speaks, the follow-up unimportant trivial people maintain the previous actions.
He also turned his gaze to the person he cared about the most.
Li Baijiao's slightly young but majestic voice swayed in the main hall.
"Ning Yi. ”
He smiled and spoke, "Long time no see, how is Lord Pei Xiaoshan's body?"
Ning Yi bowed, not a courtesy of monarchs and ministers, but a ceremony when the "children of the Holy Mountain" met with the "Tiandu Imperial Family...... He is the little uncle of Shushan, and the crown prince has not yet officially ascended the throne of Changling, so he can only be regarded as the temporary ruler of the capital today.
"Thanking His Highness to 'crossing the sea of suffering', the injuries of the inner people have been much better. Now he is recuperating in the Tianqing Pond of Lingshan. ”
The details of Ning Yi's salute were seen by Li Baijiao, and he did not have the slightest anger, but laughed sincerely, and said loudly: "This is a good thing, when Master Pei Xiaoshan recovers from his illness and the two get married, the palace will give a generous gift." ”
The conversation between the two did not avoid suspicion, and it happened in front of everyone.
Song Yiren's expression was quite calm.
The lark's eyes were already quite surprised, he looked at "Mr. Ning", he never thought that this young sword immortal who laughed at himself on the road and was very famous in the Great Sui was so "famous", and the prince who was in charge of the four realms was already the emperor on the bright side, and he was only one step away from the last step of ascending to the Changling Tomb...... Ning Yi has been so valued by the crown prince, and this kind of saint is far from being comparable to the previous junior uncle Xu Zang in Shushan.
Yun Xun, the head of the Intelligence Department, sneered in his heart.
It's all fake.
What holy favors, what generous gifts, what wishes......
If any force wanted to assassinate Ning Yi or attack Shushan, Tiandu would definitely not have the slightest intention of helping...... In the eyes of the prince, today's Ning Yi is nothing more than a chess piece that can easily bring down the "Eastern Territory" in the future, focusing on the word future.
If you want to die now.
There is no future.
"I heard that after a while, it will be the grandest 'Obon Festival' in Buddhism. The prince seemed to think of something, he looked at the young man with a strange face, and said with a smile: "The Dizang Bodhisattva twisted the fire and reincarnated, took the Zen staff of the Xuyun Master, lit the Dao fire that had been extinguished for a hundred years in the Futu Ancient Cave, and revived the luck of the Buddhism...... Hongden is looking forward to seeing such a picture. ”
The lark only smiled softly, and did not reply.
"Lingshan's luck has been exhausted for a long time, and it needs someone to stand up and light the fire of silence. The prince's voice was as hot and powerful as a flame, he looked at the young Buddha, and praised with a smile: "The last person who lit the fire was called 'Xuyun', and I have already imagined the picture of you standing on the top of Lingshan Mountain with a Zen staff...... It must be a spectacular sight. ”
The lark clasped his palms together, accepted the praise, and said with a smile: "If Your Highness is interested, you can come to Lingshan to witness the 'ignition' of the Obon Festival with your own eyes." ”
The prince nodded and smiled, noncommittal.
The bell rang majestically.
Jin Yi, who was waiting outside the main hall with his hands in his sleeves, raised his head, and the sound of Lingshan ringing the bell penetrated through the clear high-altitude clouds.
The Great Sect Master of the Law Sect had a complicated expression and opened his mouth quietly.
"It's noon. ”
(Tomorrow from the daytime to add more, ask for a monthly pass in advance~)
