Chapter 157: Welcoming Monks at the Middle Gate
Yifeng and Yuchuni felt that these two powerful coercive forces were rapidly approaching them, but the coercion in the palace was much faster than that on Yong'an Street.
Yifeng's eyes flashed, and a purple robe jumped out of the sky above the gate of the palace and flew directly in front of them.
The person who came was a dark purple brocade robe, a white jade python belt, a white beard, his eyes were bright, although his face was not angry, but he was domineering and majestic—the person who came was the only king with a different surname in the Dawu Empire, the face of the court of the Holy Academy, the spiritual leader of the six legions, and Cui Ming of the Great Pillar Kingdom.
He stared at Yuchuni with both eyes and said, "Yan Yu, didn't this king say just now, let you come back tomorrow, don't you understand?"
Yuchuni stopped attacking in his hand and said coldly: "Lord Cui, it is indeed wrong to fight. However, even if you are the leader of Confucianism today, and our Buddhist giant is also the future leader of our Buddhism, regardless of the secular official title, his status in the three religions is enough to keep pace with you, and the poor nun is just an ordinary Buddhist believer, insignificant, but the Buddha should not be despised in this way. ”
Cui Ming looked at Yifeng and looked at the little monk covered in golden armor.
Yifeng felt that when Cui Ming's eyes looked over, there was an indescribable penetrating power, as if he was going to see through his whole body, he looked at his body, quickly withdrew the golden armor in his body, and then met Cui Ming's gaze.
Cui Ming's face changed uncertainly, and he said after a while: "Sure enough, he is a Buddhist giant, and he has actually cultivated a Buddha bone." ”
Yifeng hurriedly folded his hands and saluted: "See the prince, the younger generation Yifeng, there is really something important to come here today, and there are many disturbances, please forgive me." ”
Cui Ming's eyes flashed, and he shook his head and said: "What this king said just now, it is really Yan Yu who is too crazy, and when someone comes to report that it is the Buddha, this king should greet him in person." ”
Yifeng bowed slightly and said: "The prince is serious, Uncle Yu is just protecting me, that's why I say so, whether it is cultivation or qualifications, the prince and I are like the bright moon and fireflies, and the younger generation is abrupt." ”
Cui Ming nodded and said: "Yan Yu, you have to learn from your nephew, you have been messing around in Junzhou City since you were a child, when you chose to escape into the empty gate, this king thought that you were going to change your face and concentrate on cultivating your nature." I didn't expect you to be so arrogant after all these years. Forget it, since you're here, let's go to the house first. ”
Yuchuni knew that he was wrong, snorted coldly, and stopped talking.
At this time, the Xuanjia man stepped forward and stood behind Cui Ming.
Cui Ming introduced to Yuqiuni and Yifeng: "This is Qin Hu, I was transferred from the Longwu Army to serve as the commander of the Janissaries in my palace. ”
He said to Qin Hu again: "Qin Hu, this is the elder of Nanzong Temple, Master Yu, this is today's Buddha, called Yifeng, how is it, how are their skills?"
Qin Hu said lightly: "General." ”
Cui Ming laughed twice, and Yu Chuni was angry, but he didn't say anything, just put his hands together and saluted Qin Hu, Qin Hu saw this, nodded slightly, and his face relaxed a lot.
The two black jade unicorns, under the command of Qin Hu, re-incarnated into the two black jade statues at the entrance of the mansion, but the wind was very strange, such a big movement, but the official residence next to it did not move.
At this time, Yifeng heard the sound of neat and powerful rumbling steps in the direction of Yong'an Long Street quickly, and in less than a while, a strong army of nearly 100 people came to the gate of the palace with a halberd.
The leader was a capable general, he glanced at Yuqiuni and Yifeng, walked towards Cui Ming and saluted: "Lord Wang, who is making noise here, does it disturb you?"
Cui Ming glanced at him and said, "It's Lu Xing, there's nothing wrong, there is an old man who came over, because he was not very familiar, he was stopped by the king's guards, there was a little conflict, and it didn't disturb the surrounding government families, right?"
Lu Xingdao: "No, everyone is in accordance with the rules of Junzhou City, there is something in the city, it is forbidden to intervene without permission, and wait for the Shenwei Legion to deal with it." ”
Cui Ming nodded and said: "Shenwei Legion, you have been guarding Junzhou City day and night all these years, you have worked hard, continue to work on business, this king has been disturbed a lot." ”
Lu Xingdao said "don't dare", turned around and prepared to lead the team to retreat.
As soon as he took two steps, Cui Ming's eyes flashed, and he suddenly stopped him.
Lu Xing turned around and arched his hand, waiting for Cui Ming to speak, Cui Ming thought for a while and said, "Today's matter, don't bother the prince." ”
Lu Xing's heart moved, but he didn't show it on his face, nodded yes, and turned to leave.
Cui Ming turned his head to Qin Hu and said, "Open the middle door." ”
Qin Hu's eyes flashed with a different color, but he didn't dare to question it, he folded his hands and retreated to the mansion gate.
After a while, the huge unicorn beast head knocker at the middle door of King Cui's mansion emitted a pleasant sound, and a continuous roar came from the towering door frame, mixed together, but it was loud in the ears, like a drum sounding in unison, very grand.
Lu Xing, who had already led the troops into the street in the fang, suddenly stopped when he heard this voice, and the deputy next to him asked, "Deputy General Lu, what's wrong?"
Lu Xing listened carefully to the roar coming from the direction of the palace in silence, and after a moment, he shook his head and continued to lead the team forward.
He knew that Cui Ming's words just now didn't want people to know that he had a conflict with Buddhism, but there would be a rumor in Junzhou City that Cui Wangfu would open the middle door to welcome Buddhist monks.
With such an arrangement, what does this Cui Wang Ye want to do?
In front of the palace, Yuqiuni was also stunned, looked at Cui Ming and said, "King Cui, what is this?"
Cui Ming smiled and said, "Didn't you say just now? The Buddha is of the same status as this king, so he should open the middle door and invite him in, isn't that right?"
Immediately, he made a gesture of please, and Yu Chuni didn't dare to slack off at this time, so he hurriedly saluted and motioned for Cui Ming to go first.
Cui Ming laughed twice, took a tiger step, and walked towards the palace.
Although Yifeng didn't know what he meant, he had no choice but to follow Yuchunian into the palace.
In the mansion, a housekeeper led the family servants to follow, but Cui Ming waved his hand to let them retreat, and led Yifeng and the two to the mansion alone.
After they walked in, Qin Hu arranged for someone to close the middle door of the palace, and the previous servant wearing the brocade clothes with the word "Fu" came next to Qin Hu and whispered: "Commander Qin, what's going on, this middle gate of the palace, but since the establishment of the mansion, only when Emperor Wu came, it was opened, how dare these two Buddhist disciples······ ?”
Qin Hu said coldly: "The prince has his own arrangements, don't talk too much." ”
A wind entered the palace, looked around, and saw that the courtyard of the palace was deep and the eaves were wide. The corridor is decorated with huge pillars, the eaves are drawn with the patterns of people, birds and beasts, legendary stories, and on the walls of the corridors, the Confucian classics are engraved and embellished with gold powder, a solemn atmosphere, and the Confucian forest is fragrant.
Under the cover of this layer of scholarly fragrance, Yifeng felt that there were countless powerful auras distributed throughout the deep courtyard, and it seemed that the guarded palace was not ordinarily strict.
Following Cui Ming through countless floors of deep courtyard, he arrived at a round gate, and suddenly turned, and the scenery changed suddenly: the original dark color of black gold disappeared, and in front of him was a wide crimson corridor, with passages connecting everywhere, surrounded by a wide and beautiful lake.
The lotus of each color blooms in the lake, the color is colorful, the fish play lotus on the water surface, the surrounding buildings and water pavilions are also the color of logs, do not decorate, keep the plain and elegant, there are willow bushes on the shore of the lake, the slender bamboo embellishment of the lake scenery, and the farther away, it is the deep and heavy palace attic that can not be seen again.
This Wang Qingchi Cailian instantly lit up the overly depressed feeling of the palace, which made people feel much more relaxed in an instant.
Cui Ming smiled: "Yan Yu, I should have been to this king's mansion when I was a child." At that time, this king was in the prime of life, and his brother went down from Taiqing Gate, but he had a very good relationship with this king and became a confidant. Although he is busy with affairs now, he is a little estranged, but he is also an old friend. ”
He then introduced to Yifeng: "This is the colorful lotus that this king picked from the Yi River around Yuntai, planted in this 'rainbow pond', and taken care of by the housekeeper day and night, it is no worse than the colorful lotus in the Yi River."
"In the city, although there are many Yihe Cailian, but there are also a lot of people watching, this king wants to go, I am afraid that it will disturb the interest of the people, Emperor Wu is still on the Yuntai watchtower, hanging Cailian brocade, in order to show that he is happy with the people, how dare this king trespass, disturb the people!"
Yifeng saw that he was not as domineering as the prince, and his heart eased, and said: "The prince loves the people like a son, which is really a blessing for the people. ”
Cui Ming nodded and said: "Speaking of which, this lotus has a lot of fate with your Buddhism, and today I came here, the lotus competition is the Buddha fate of these colored lotus, we might as well be in Biluoxuan in the rainbow pond and talk about it." ”
Yifeng followed Cui Ming around the corridor towards the winding Huzhongxuan, he looked around, and suddenly his eyes widened, and a familiar figure flashed in the circular corridor in the distance, and disappeared in an instant.
How could he be in King Cui's mansion? How bold was he?
Even if it was just for a moment, Yifeng had already concluded that that person must be a poison-hearted Shura-Xiao Ji!
