When the peacock was beaten into the cold palace, his cultivation was sealed by Qin Mengyao himself, and if there was no help from outsiders, it would never have disappeared without a trace!

Leng Mei didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly returned to Fengming Hall to inform Qin Mengyao of the matter.

"Niangniang, do you want to thoroughly investigate the harem?" Leng Mei seriously suspects that there are ghosts in this palace!

If you're lucky, maybe the peacock is still hiding in a palace somewhere in the harem!

After all, it has only been two days since the peacock was beaten into the cold palace!

Qin Mengyao frowned slightly, and was also caught off guard by this incident!

Knowing this, when the peacock was sent into the cold palace that day, the child in her belly should have been removed!

It's just that it's going to be too late.

"This matter should be done by the Buddha Kingdom of the Western Regions." She sighed and said: "This palace has been worried about worshipping ancestors in the past two days, but it has made the Buddha Kingdom of the Western Regions take advantage of the loophole, and the peacock is afraid that it has already left Beijing, but ...... It's good to check it out. ”

"Yes!" Leng Mei responded loudly, and immediately led people to thoroughly investigate all the eunuchs and palace maids in the harem overnight!

……

Western regions.

Bodhi Temple.

The night is sultry, and under the largest Bodhi temple in the temple, a bewitching woman with a back is holding a carving knife and carving words on the Bodhi tree one by one.

Xuanling, the son of the Buddha who had not heard from her for a long time, stood behind her and clasped her hands together: "Amitabha, princess, the night is dark, you should rest." ”

"Xuanling!" The bewitching woman turned around, and it was the concubine peacock who was beaten into the cold palace two days ago!

Her bewitching face is still beautiful, but between her eyebrows, there is also a bit of bitter hatred, at this moment she glared at Xuan Ling, gritted her teeth and said: "The monks and soldiers of the Buddha Kingdom, can you help me enter the imperial capital?" I want to let Qin Mengyao's slut die without a place to be buried!

”

She lured Emperor Ji Xuan to take the Seven Insects and Seven Ghost Flowers, and was about to pick the fruits of victory, but was snatched away by Qin Mengyao's cheap woman, how could she be willing?

"Amitabha, the poor monk helped you get out of the sea of suffering with his magical powers, why do you want to go back?" Xuan Ling asked ghostly.

"You know what?" The peacock roared, because of anger and unwillingness, her delicate face was faintly distorted, revealing a bit of pathology and hideousness, she roared and said: "As long as Qin Mengyao is overthrown, I will be the queen of Daqian, and my child will be the new emperor of Daqian, and I can take charge of that huge empire!"

I have what I want!

What longevity, what thousands of generations, are all in my bag! ”

Xuan Ling shook his head and sighed: "You have been devoured by greed, hatred, and ignorance, and you have fallen into the abyss without knowing it, which is sad. ”

"Pathetic? Is it me or you sadly? Xuan Ling, although you are a Buddha, but there are three major Bodhisattvas, three temple abbots, and eight heavenly dragons, although you have a respected status, but this Buddha country in the Western Regions, who can you command? The peacock asked with a hideous face: "What is the difference between you and me?" It's just a pawn in someone else's hands! The difference is that I'm trying my best to break free from the shackles on my body, and you're just a puppet! ”

Xuan Ling's expression was stunned.

Indeed, there are hundreds of thousands of monks in the Buddhist country of the Western Regions, and everyone respects him, but unfortunately, everyone only listens to the words of the three high Bodhisattvas.

Suddenly, he seemed to see his own shadow in the peacock.

"Amitabha." Xuan Ling said: "The monks and soldiers of Chen Bing Qianfo County, the poor monks cannot be transferred, but the poor monks know a benefactor, or they can help you trip up the Empress Daqian." ”

"Who is it?" Peacock eyes glow.

Xuan Ling said softly: "Da Qian, Jiang Yuange!" ”

"Him?" Peacock eyes are slight.

The right minister has a very good reputation in the court, steady, not surprised, has means, and has a wide range of contacts in Wuxun, although he does not fight or grab on weekdays, but he is a big man who can compete with Zuo Xiang, Yan Wang and others!

I didn't expect such a person to collude with the Buddha country!

It's just that even with Jiang Yuange's help, it is not easy to bring down Qin Mengyao!

Unless...... Fish dead and broken?

The cold light in the peacock's eyes kept flickering, and the corners of her mouth slowly showed a sneer, and she said: "Xuan Ling, tell Jiang Yuange that the child in Qin Mengyao's belly is not Emperor Daqian's!" As long as the abbot of the White Horse Temple is invited, the Great Qian Emperor can be cured, and when the time comes, Qin Mengyao will definitely die!

”

Did the emperor have a round house with Qin Mengyao, this kind of thing is not known to others, but the emperor himself will not know?

As long as Ji Xuan wakes up, everything will fall into place!

"If Ji Xuan wakes up, Qin Mengyao will certainly have no way to live, but you will not end well." Xuan Ling said.

Just the peacock misleading Ji Xuan into taking the Seven Insects and Seven Ghost Flowers is a capital offense, Ji Xuan woke up, it was impossible not to pursue it!

"You took me out of the palace with your divine foot, and I didn't know it, how could Ji Xuan know where I was?" The peacock said fiercely: "Even if he knows, it's a big deal for me to wander the world!" And Qin Mengyao, hahaha, she will definitely die! and the Qin family behind her, too, will give her a funeral, hahahaha......"

Xuan Ling looked at the peacock that looked like a mad demon, and slowly folded his hands: "Amitabha." ”

……

Leaving the imperial capital, Li Mu flew to the East China Sea overnight.

With his current sword skills, in just three days, the East China Sea was already in sight, and in another three days, the sea below had changed from azure to deep blue, and then to pitch black, as if it could swallow everything in a bottomless abyss.

Li Mu descended with his sword and stood on the pitch-black sea.

There is no wind or waves here, like a sea of the four seas, from time to time there are surging ripples from the depths of the sea, with a bit of horror atmosphere.

Then, Li Mu took out the conch that the mermaid gave him and played it gently.

"Woo ......" The long sound of the conch spread far away, fell on the surface of the sea, turned into a heavy ripple, and spread out to the surroundings at great speed.

After blowing half a salary, Li Mu stopped and waited quietly.

Time passed, night fell, and the bright moon tonight was a little hazy, as if draped in a thick gauze coat, lining the stars in the sky shining and dazzling.

At this time, the surrounding sea area became darker and darker, as if there was no moon and stardust in the night, and it was desperately dark!

"Why haven't you come yet?" Li Mu was a little impatient, thinking that it could be a mermaid accident, right?

He couldn't help but take out the conch and blow it again.

On the dark sea, the long sound of a conch adds a bit of horror, like a whistle ship......

Wait a minute!

Boat?

Li Mu's face was stunned, he put down the conch, and found that the whining conch sound was still spreading around!

He stood up with his sword, looked down, and saw a huge pointed double-sailed ship slowly heading towards the sea more than ten miles away!

Li Mu's eyes overflowed with golden haoran, and he looked into the distance, the ship was old and ancient, the sails were worn, full of big holes and small holes, the sides of the ship were also full of cracks, dark green moss, and the anchor hanging on the right hull was also rusty, which seemed to grow with the hull at first glance.

The ship was empty, as silent as the pitch black sea below!

"Ghost ship?!" Li Mu frowned.

This old ancient ship is the one Li Mu encountered in the Chu River of the Giant Elephant Country!

Thinking of the picture of nine deaths and a lifetime, Li Mu still had more than one season, but he didn't expect to meet again tonight after more than a year!

Is it a coincidence?

Li Mu didn't dare to be careless, although he could get rid of the terrifying 'gravity' of the ghost ship formation with the help of the butterfly, but there was no absolute, what if the boat capsized in the gutter?

The ghost ship sailed silently, and two waves were plowed out of the dark sea, and the sound of the waves came out faintly, with a bit of gloomy and terrifying.

When the ghost ship approached, there was a sudden tooth-squeaking sound in the boat, as if the coffin board was rubbed against the nail cover, making people's scalp tingle!

Li Mu kept raising his position, for fear of being shrouded by the ghost ship formation, he always felt that there seemed to be some strange changes in this ghost ship.

The 'squeak' sound on the boat continued, and the goosebumps all over Li Mu's body were aroused by this oozing sound, and his back was even more chilling!

Fortunately, the 'squeak' sound finally disappeared with a bang after it lasted for half a while.

It sounded like someone was trying to open the door of the cabin, but something forced it shut halfway through.

"There's no one on this ghost ship, right?" Li Mu's face changed slightly, and he naturally thought of the mermaid!

"Could it be that the mermaid was ingested by the ghost ship, but heard the sound of my conch, so with strong willpower, the ghost ship was rerouted?"

Li Mu said that he would really thank him.

At this time, the ghost ship had already sailed under Li Mu, Li Mu turned to look, and saw that the ghost ship was sailing in the direction of the South Seas, gradually as if it had melted into the darkness, and the shadow of the ship was no longer seen.

Midnight terror!

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately frowned, if this was a real mermaid on the ghost boat, then who could he contact the Ice Emperor?

You can't just knock on the gate of the Dragon Palace, right?

The real dragons there are not easy to mess with.

When Li Mu groaned, a huge ripple suddenly appeared in the sea below, and after a while, accompanied by the stormy waves, a huge octopus demon broke out of the sea!

"Is it Eungong?" The mermaid's voice came from the octopus's huge oval-shaped head.

When Li Mu heard this crisp and melodious, tactful sound, like the sound of a mountain stream and a clear spring, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and even the nervousness that had just experienced the terrifying incident was washed.

"It's me, mermaid, I thought you were caught by a ghost ship." Li Mu said as he flew down.

"Ghost ships? Did Eungong meet the ghost ship? The mermaid was shocked.

Li Mu landed on the octopus's head, and then Xinghui looked, only to see that the mermaid was still very ugly, with triangular eyes, a garlic nose, a mouth full of fangs, and a long flowing hair like a sea snake, which directly made Li Mu's mood that had just relaxed become tense again.

Li Mu didn't look at her face and said, "I saw it from afar, fortunately I hid quickly, but ...... Isn't the Dragon Palace also afraid of ghost ships? ”

The cultivation of those ten true dragons is unfathomable, if even they don't dare to mess with the ghost ship, then this thing will be terrifying!

The mermaid nodded and shook her head, and said, "Lord Black Emperor said that there is evil on this ship, and once you enter the ship, if you don't cultivate enough, you will be directly stripped of your spirit body!" So we were not allowed to get close. ”

"What if cultivation is enough?" Li Mu asked curiously.

"It will be invaded by the evil on the ship, and what will become in the end, the Black Emperor doesn't know." Mermaid said.

Li Mu suddenly remembered the sound of the door opening he had just heard.

Could it be that this ghost ship has already sucked in a person who has cultivated enough, and that person is being invaded by evil spirits?

Li Mu felt that his scalp was numb again, he quickly shook his head and shook off these eerie and terrifying pictures, and changed the topic: "Mermaid, I have something to find the Ice Emperor, can you please pass on a message, or take me into the Dragon Palace?" ”

"Engong, I am a subordinate of Lord Black Emperor, so without the order of Lord Ice Emperor, I cannot enter the palace under her name at will." The mermaid said, "I can only take Engong to the Dragon Palace, and then ask the turtle to pass the word." ”

The turtle is the turtle prime minister, and he is the steward elected by the ten true dragons, and he can freely enter and exit the various palaces of the Dragon Palace.

It seems that this is the only way to go...... Li Mu said: "Then I'll trouble you." ”

"It's not troublesome to be able to do things for Engong!" The mermaid smiled happily, then ordered the octopus to enter the water and dive towards the underwater dragon palace at high speed.

……

Daqian Dijing.

Imperial Palace Fengming Hall.

Qin Mengyao stood in the pavilion in the middle of the Autumn Lake, looking at the hazy bright moon, with a melancholy face.

Since discovering that the peacock is missing, Leng Mei has thoroughly investigated all the eunuchs and maids in the palace, not to mention, she really found many suspicious people.

Qin Mengyao was unwilling to make more killings, so she expelled all these people from the palace and left them to fend for themselves.

Naturally, it was impossible for Qin Mengyao to worry about these things, what really worried her was the stubborn argument between the various forces in the court over the Dragon Palace!

The controversy for days has made the forces of all parties clearly divided into two factions, led by the King of Yan and the King of Shu, who are determined to fight to the end with the Dragon Palace!

And the left and right ministers are the leaders, and harmony is precious, and they should pay tribute, and wait for the national strength to rise in the future, and then find the Dragon Palace to settle accounts!

The two sides quarreled every day, completely treating Tianyuan Hall as a vegetable market!

Among them, there are many officials who jump left and right, one will support the king of Yan and the king of Shu to fight to the death, and the other will support the development of the left and right phases.

Qin Mengyao faintly saw a few precursors of party strife!

It's a pity that at the moment of the Dragon Palace, if she drastically rectifies the court, I am afraid that she will be attacked by hundreds of officials immediately!

But if it is allowed to develop, the consequences are unpredictable.

However, these days are not without good news, at least, the monks and soldiers of the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions, the armies of Mengyuan and Xiongnu have been evacuated from the Daqian border.

By the end of the Dragon Palace incident, the border should be safe.

It's just that this Dragon Palace is like a Mount Tai pressing on her heart, and she can't relax no matter what.

I don't know what happened to him...... Qin Mengyao was suddenly startled and hurriedly restrained her thoughts.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, something is wrong!

Zhu'er's voice suddenly came from outside the hall, and he was in a hurry, as if he had seen a ghost.

"What's going on?" Qin Mengyao asked in a deep voice.

"Niangniang, Master Huineng of the White Horse Temple, he, he ......" Zhu'er's face turned pale.

"What's wrong with him? Bamboo, say it quickly! Qin Mengyao's eyes showed a hint of worry.

"Master Huineng has passed away!" Zhu'er said with a sad face.

"What? Death? How so? Qin Mengyao's face changed suddenly!

Huineng used to be the first person on the Great Qianlong and Tiger List, and he cultivated to be transcendent, although he was slightly behind after the opening of the cave, but he was also the top group of monks, why did he die for no reason?

And what makes Qin Mengyao even more uncomfortable is that her biggest reliance in the imperial capital is the White Horse Temple!

Although Huineng will close the mountain and the temple at every turn, as long as Huineng is still alive, the White Horse Temple is on her side of Qin Mengyao.

And all of this is due to the friendship between Li Mu and Huineng.

Huineng passed away, would the new abbot still care about the friendship between Huineng and Li Mu and stand on Qin Mengyao's side?
