Chapter 190: Xuanming Square
The Junzhou Conference was scheduled to be held in front of Xuanming Square, the largest in the Dawu Emperor's Palace.
To the south of Xuanming Square is the triple gate, which is the three palace gates that can be seen as high as mountains in the whole Junzhou City, and from north to south, there are Jiyao Gate, Duanjing Gate, and Gongqing Gate in turn.
To the north of Xuanming Square, there is the famous golden dragon step, and above the towering golden dragon step is the Baolong Palace, which is the most important treasure hall for the hundred officials to discuss the court.
In this conference, Emperor Wei Yu of Dawu will sit in front of the Baolong Palace, on the golden dragon steps, overlooking the civil and military discussion of Xuanming Square.
Today is the date of the Discussion Conference, and Wei Huang, Master Zhiran and others all got up early to prepare.
Wei Huang changed into a stone blue court dress, embroidered a golden dragon on the left and right shoulders, the dragon head spit clouds and mist on the shoulders, two golden dragons on the sleeves, and the rest lingered on the body of the robe, separated by five-colored auspicious clouds, solemn and gorgeous.
Master Zhiran is one of the main figures of today's debate, wearing an apricot yellow monk's robe, it is rare to put on a big red robe, but there is no gold and jade agate ornaments, which looks very solemn and simple.
Abbot Juekong and Abbot Jue Ning of Jue Song and Baoxiang Temple brought two disciples, Guang and Liaolong, and came to the Prince's Mansion early to meet Wei Huang and wait for departure.
The others were also fully dressed, and under the leadership of the crown prince, they set off on the treasure chariot towards the cloud platform.
The team of the prince was escorted by the Shenwei Legion, with a total of two treasure chariots, one shared by the prince and the cadres of Nanzong Temple, and one by Juekong and others.
Because there was no road to the north of Yuntai to enter the Dawu Emperor Palace, they started from the Xuanwu City District, bypassed the Yuntai half circle, crossed the Yi River around the Yuntai from the Taiwu Bridge in the south, and entered the triple gate of the Dawu Emperor Palace.
Before entering the Taiwu Bridge, all carriages and horses are prohibited from entering, and they can only walk.
It was the first time for everyone in Nanzong Temple to officially enter the Dawu Emperor Palace, and they were full of curiosity about the Dawu Emperor Palace.
The palace of Emperor Dawu as a whole presents two colors of black and gold, intertwined and scattered, through the triple gate when towering like an abyss-like Yongdao, the cyan jade palace wall, the golden glazed tiles all emit a different kind of light, complement each other, the soldiers stationed on both sides, is the feather forest army wearing golden armor, mighty and majestic, on the cyan halberd, the halberd blade emits a golden light, the edge is pressing.
In addition, there is nothing else, the entire Dawu Emperor Palace is neat and clear, brilliant and noble, but also solemn and heavy, and they really see what the royal spirit is.
Although it is stipulated that after entering the palace of Emperor Dawu, they cannot talk loudly, but Yifeng and the others are still whispering about all kinds of new things as far as their eyes can see.
The fat monk Long also participated in the discussion, he didn't seem to hold a grudge against Yifeng's mistake, and he seemed to know a lot, he told Yifeng that although the structure seemed to be very simple, but the Dawu Emperor's Palace was full of magic circle organs, just like a blue brick on an ordinary palace wall, or any stone brick of Yongdao, it might have imprinted the magic circle.
These small circles will form huge magic circles through complex connections, and the people of the Feather Forest Legion, as the chess pieces in the magic circle, have been carefully trained, and once something happens, they can cooperate with various powerful magic circles including imprisonment, strangulation, spirit gathering, regent, and even séance.
The entire Dawu Emperor Palace is an incomparably powerful magic circle, which is the culmination of the magic circle of Taiqing Gate, and it is proud of the world.
Yifeng and the others were amazed when they heard this, and then looked at the bricks and tiles of the palace wall and the stone slabs at the bottom, and they really felt the fluctuations of spiritual power contained in them, and each one was extraordinary.
But at the same time, they also felt the oppression of the atmosphere, the pressure of this royal spirit was naturally emanated, and the oppression in their hearts for no reason, just like sometimes, they could also feel this inexplicable coercion from the crown prince.
After passing through the heavily guarded triple gate and entering the Jiyao Gate, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up, and the cyan palace wall that had just pressed them had retreated into the distance, and in the middle was an extremely wide square, paved with black stone slabs.
But on these black stone slabs on the ground, there are dazzling patterns carved, there are goddesses flying to the sky, immortals descending to earth, Buddha preaching, Bodhisattva giving grace, Confucianism talking and laughing, there are also countless strange flowers and plants, rare beasts, auspicious clouds and glow, faintly divided into three major areas, respectively representing the three teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
But there is also a connection between the three areas: there are fairy sleeves fluttering and extending, becoming a picture scroll of Hongru swiping pen and splashing ink, there are hermits playing the piano and chess, there are several monks standing next to them, there are Bodhisattvas swaying the rain to the garden, and fairies flying to pick fruits, Taoist children picking palmetto leaves, making pu fans to fan the fire for the Dan furnace.
The various connections between the three religions are rendered on the picture, colorful, extremely ingenious, smudged and simple, and magical, it is simply a beautiful panorama of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the heavenly realm!
Looking closely, these patterns are hidden under the gray stone slabs, just like another world hidden under Xuanming Square, which is gorgeous and abnormal, and makes people admire and feel relaxed.
At the edge of this world, there is a golden circle, framing the world inside, and the outside is densely packed with calligraphy and various runes, and then there is a golden circle on the outside, which also encircles the text symbols.
In this way, the entire Xuanming Square has become a huge ring with a smooth texture.
The west side of Xuanming Square is the area of the Buddha Kingdom, so the crown prince Wei Huang led the disciples of Buddhism to stand on the Buddhist rune in the middle of the ring due west.
The east side is painted in the world of the Heavenly Daomen, so the Taiqing Gate everyone, under the leadership of the national teacher Yan Guizhen, stood on the west side and confronted the Buddha Gate from afar.
On the south side is a picture scroll of Confucian figures, and Cui Ming of the Great Pillar Kingdom led the elders, Confucian generals, and scholars of the Holy Academy to stand solemnly in the south.
On the golden dragon steps in the north, Emperor Dawu sits on the golden dragon chair, overlooking the entire Xuanming Square.
Hundreds of officials stand on the wide blue jade stone steps on the left and right of the golden dragon steps, the layers of court clothes are very gorgeous, the armor of the generals is brilliant, and the talents are abundant, which is a grand view.
Countless people of the Yulin Army surrounded Xuanming Square, as far as the eye could see, the Yulin Army was everywhere, and there were dozens of unknown breaths hidden around, making people dare not act rashly.
In the west, in the crowd standing at the Buddha Gate, Ichikaze and the others looked curiously in all directions. At this time, Shuli's eyes were firmly locked on the Confucian people in the south, and he saw Shushan Shuhe also standing behind Cui Ming, and before them, it was his father, Shuyu.
Shuyu also felt Shuli's gaze at this time, and looked at him, just in time to meet Shuli's gaze.
But Shuli couldn't feel a trace of temperature in Shuyu's eyes, even if his father did his best for him in the family, tried his best to override public opinion, and let him have the three magic weapons of the green snake, the fire dragon, and Yingtian, so that the father and son were affectionate, but at this moment, they all seemed to disappear, and turned into a wordless mountain again, silently lying behind him.
The fire monkey's eyes also stared straight at the Daomen team in the east, and he saw a Taoist priest who was probing his brain behind many Taoist priests: Daoist of the Nine Dragons Guanwu!
How could he be in the Taiqing Sect's team? When the Shenwei Legion arrived that night, he should have been arrested and returned? Did he think of some idea and make a deal with the Taiqing Gate to get him back from the Shenwei Legion? Could it be that he told the Taiqing Gate the secret of the Fire Dragon Ball?
The fire monkey's mind was completely confused by him, Taiqingmen was an ambiguous existence with him, he was the reincarnated beast that needed to accept Shenzhao, but the opposing position of Buddhism and Taoism put him in an awkward position.
And, listening to Daoist Wu's meaning, the fire dragon ball on his body is a magic weapon that Taiqingmen is extremely eager for, but he must not let Taiqingmen know.
Wu Daochang chased them from Qingping Temple for the Fire Dragon Ball, and almost died at the foot of Lushu in the Nameless Valley, his fellow disciples died miserably, and the dead and wounded were exhausted, and he chased them to Junzhou to come for him, he was almost crazy, if Taiqingmen was more eager than him, was it just for a Danzhu that no one had ever seen? Or was there a deeper secret hidden in it?
After thinking about it, he guessed in his heart that not only because the Fire Dragon Ball was the first elixir of the Great Martial Kingdom, but also because of the flames in the Fire Dragon Ball, there must be a great future, and the power contained in those two little fire dragons, even if he was in the Jade Realm now, he was shocked.
But what is the origin of this flame, he has not figured it out, Taiqingmen may be able to know?
Thinking of this, the fire monkey thought of going to Taiqingmen to take a look and investigate the inside story.
However, according to the current relationship between Buddhism and Taoism, I am afraid that it is likely to be the enemy of Taiqingmen in the future!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a wry smile, perhaps, this is all fate!
Xiu Gu stared straight at the person in the middle of the golden dragon steps, her heart was surging, and her face was a little red, but everyone was thinking about other things, and no one noticed her.
She looked at the person on the Golden Dragon Stairs to the north, that person was the authority of the Dawu Imperial Family, the emperor who ruled the entire Dawu Empire, and she was connected to him by blood, so close but unable to recognize each other, even the Dawu Emperor didn't even look at her, she was both excited and very uncomfortable, it was difficult to describe this feeling.
Her eyes were red with excitement, and she secretly thought to herself, if he knew her identity, what would happen? Will she really become a little princess who is loved by thousands of people, as Aunt Yan Yu said?
In this way, she will definitely leave her senior brother, will she be willing to do so at that time? If the Dawu royal family wants to change the Dharma of the Buddha and hurt the Buddha Dao, then she will even become an enemy with her senior brother, can she face such a situation?
After everyone came to Xuanming Square, they had their own thoughts in their hearts, but what they didn't know was that the fate of this Dao Conference would not only change their lives in the future, but even directly affect the fate of the Dawu Empire.
And their eyes now simply can't see such a far-reaching impact.
