Yunnan

Guanjian Villa.

In the forbidden land of the mountain villa, which had been silent for a long time, a terrifying momentum was suddenly released.

Ten thousand swords in unison!

One after another, sword qi rushed into the sky, changing the color of the wind and clouds.

But the vision soon faded into obscurity.

"No mother, vacuum hometown!"

"Welcome Master!"

Under the stone steps of the forbidden land, a group of White Lotus Sect believers worshiped and chanted.

At the forefront of the group of believers is the only remaining three-color lotus envoy of the White Lotus Sect.

White Lotus Holy Envoy, Purple Lotus Holy Envoy, Blue Lotus Holy Envoy.

In the shouts of everyone, the space in front of them stretched and shattered, and a woman in a white robe walked out, looking charming and mature, but full of a sense of sacredness, extremely contradictory.

Although the robe was wide, it was still difficult to hide the delicate body underneath.

The Childless Old Mother, or the White Lotus Holy Mother, looked at everyone and said in a calm tone: "Get up!" ”

She is the Virgin of the White Lotus, and she is also the Mother of the Childless.

The White Lotus Cult believes in a childless mother, but even most believers don't know that this "childless mother" they believe in exists.

In the history of the White Lotus Sect, the childless mother has frequently appeared authentically, and all of this comes from this "childless mother".

The so-called childless old mother is actually a powerhouse in the Heavenly Realm, and she is also the real controller behind the White Lotus Sect at the beginning.

It was only later that the so-called lifeless old mother died, but her body was preserved.

The power of the successive leaders of the White Lotus Sect also came from this so-called "lifeless old mother".

However, now the inner primordial spirit has become the White Lotus Virgin.

There are many ways to break through to the Heavenly Realm, and the one chosen by Our Lady of the White Lotus is one of them.

The path taken by Buddhism Hui Zen in the past is very similar to it.

The Holy Mother of the White Lotus looked at the people below and said, "Except for the Three Lotus Envoys, the rest of us should go down." ”

Everyone bowed slightly, then turned to leave.

The White Lotus Lady was barefoot in the air and asked, "What happened to the rivers and lakes during this time?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and the White Lotus Holy Envoy said respectfully: "Sect Master, Emperor Ming has died." ”

"What?" Our Lady of the White Lotus had a shocked expression on her face, and said in surprise: "I remember that the Ming Emperor is still very young, right?" ”

This emperor is really a dangerous profession.

The White Lotus Holy Envoy hesitated for a moment and said softly, "According to the news we have received, it is the Divine Marquis Zhu Zaichang who is plotting rebellion. ”

"Shenhou?" The White Lotus Holy Mother frowned slightly, and then chuckled: "This Zhu family's own people are the first to rebel. ”

"So, Shenhou has succeeded?"

She is actually no stranger to Shenhou Zhu Zaichang.

"Nope."

"The Dragon Protector Villa was destroyed by the Jinyi Guard, and Wu Anhou became the auxiliary minister."

The White Lotus Holy Envoy shook his head and said, "But at the emperor's funeral, the Divine Marquis suddenly appeared again, and he also reached the realm of the Land True Immortal. ”

The scene of Tianshou Mountain that day was not a secret, as long as you have the heart to investigate, you can know it.

The White Lotus Holy Mother's face changed slightly, and she was surprised: "He has also reached the Land True Immortal?" ”

In an instant, Our Lady of the White Lotus felt a burst of unwillingness in her heart.

The White Lotus Holy Envoy nodded, and said, "But after he appeared, he was killed by Wu Anhou again. ”

Our Lady of the White Lotus looked at her speechlessly, thinking, can't you finish it all?

"Let's talk about it in detail."

The White Lotus Holy Envoy respectfully complied, and then told the story of the near future.

After a long time, the Holy Mother of the White Lotus frowned and said, "In this way, now the Marquis of Wu An, who is in the hall of the Ming Dynasty, is already alone?" ”

She was surprised and unbelievable at the same time.

I didn't expect that just a small banner of Jinyi Wei could come to this point.

The White Lotus Holy Envoy stopped talking.

I'm afraid it's not just as simple as one person.

The new emperor is young, and this one is already in power.

The White Lotus Holy Mother pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "In this way, my White Lotus Sect will have a more reasonable excuse for another incident. ”

What excuse?

Naturally, traitors are in charge.

Even she had a plan in her heart, and when the time came, she could support another person from the Zhu royal family.

"But I still need to find an ally."

Our Lady of the White Lotus commanded: "Don't act rashly for the time being, and wait until this seat returns." ”

She's not a reckless person, either.

This Wu Anhou can kill the Tongtian Realm, but it will not be easy to think about it, and she is not willing to take it easy until she is completely sure.

"Yes!"

The three of them hurriedly responded respectfully.

The Holy Mother of the White Lotus stepped out, and her figure disappeared into the void.

……

Buddha realm, thirty-three heavens.

A thousand-foot mountain stands in the middle of the world, exuding endless Buddha light.

Unlike the Loulan Secret Realm and the Penglai Secret Realm, there are no ordinary people living here.

In the whole secret realm, this Foshan is the core.

On this Buddha Mountain, you can vaguely see palaces all over the place, and there are Buddha statues carved outside the mountain.

In the Buddha's bright Buddha hall, there is a grand chanting sound.

"Amitabha~"

The sound of the Buddha like the thunder of the nine heavens resounded through the hall, and a figure shrouded in the light of the Buddha slowly appeared.

On both sides below it, there are figures of Buddha light sitting cross-legged.

Around its body, it is surrounded by nine-rank Buddha lotuses, and there are even people who show the appearance of the Buddha behind them.

At this moment, the void space above the secret realm continued to stretch, collapse and shatter, reflecting magnificent scenes one after another.

】

Almost at the same time, several figures emerged from behind the mirror-like space.

One of them was carrying a long sword, dressed in green clothes, and his face was cold.

The other was armed with a folding fan, dressed in a white robe, and looked to be in his fifties.

One of them was a woman, veiled, unable to see clearly, and behind her body, a giant python phantom was faintly reflected.

The last of them was dressed in black robes and shrouded in smoke.

"Master Tongguang!"

"How long will it take?"

"The power of the secret realm is disappearing, and if you wait any longer, you will undoubtedly wait for death."

"Amitabha."

With a Buddha horn, the figure shrouded in the Buddha's light also completely showed the whole picture.

An extremely old monk with white eyebrows sat cross-legged on a lotus pedestal, turning a string of golden Bodhi beads in his hand.

"Everyone, don't worry!"

"It won't be long."

"Huh."

"What you said is good, you have a deep Buddhist background, so you are naturally not afraid, but our four cities can't last that long."

"Don't forget, you promised us the promise!"

The black-robed figure snorted unceremoniously, and his tone was not good.

"Amitabha." Tongguang recited the Buddha name lightly, looked at the four people, and said softly: "I won't let you wait for a long time." ”

"The troubled times are coming, and the opportunity for me to be born is also coming."

"It better be!"

Among them, the figure carrying the long sword dropped a sentence, and the figure gradually dissipated.

The other three disappeared as well.

Tranquility returned to the sky over the entire Buddha hall.

……

Snow

On the city wall, a group of soldiers kept rubbing their hands together, looking into the distance with a wary look.

Under the city gates, soldiers were constantly transporting grain trucks into the city.

This place is not the Ming Dynasty, but the capital of North Korea, Hanyang City.

At the gate of the city, several soldiers whispered.

At that moment, a soldier suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance in horror.

And on the city wall, the hurried bells rang together.

The next moment, on the horizon in the distance, dense figures surged all over the world, shouting and killing.

- Widows!

Just a few hours later, Hanyang Fortress ...... Broken.

……

Capital

The sky was snowing whitely.

The Wu'an Hou Mansion, which had been closed for a month, was reopened.

This caused quite a stir in Beijing.

A month ago, Wu Anhou quietly left Beijing, which attracted the attention of many people.

Now that he has returned again, all the wind and coal in the rivers and lakes suddenly heard the wind and began to listen to the news on the rivers and lakes.

They really want to know which unlucky guy got into trouble with Wu Anhou this time.

In the past, whenever Wu'an Hou left Beijing, there would always be one or two major events on the rivers and lakes.

But the crowd was doomed to disappointment.

The various organizations that listened to the news in the rivers and lakes collected all the information in the past two months, but they did not get any news about Wu Anhou.

With the return of Lin Mang, some waves in the capital quickly subsided.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and for the people of the capital, their lives did not change much.

Oh, maybe a three-year tax deduction is one.

But for these, the people in the capital are not surprised, living at the feet of the Son of Heaven, their knowledge is naturally not comparable to ordinary people.

When a new emperor ascends the throne, or a prince is born, His Majesty will always give them some extra reward.

But in the court, this matter has caused a lot of turmoil.

As the so-called "once a son of heaven and a courtier", everyone knows who is actually in control of the court now.

Although the Marquis of Wu'an has not been out of the house for a long time, the Jinyi guards are all over the capital, and there is something he doesn't know.

Many officials in the court were dismissed, and some local officials were promoted.

Those who are dissatisfied with the protest will commit suicide at home the next day.

It's not that no one has thought about resisting, but they don't have military power in their hands, and they don't even have the most basic ability to resist.

And the protests of families everywhere are only exchanged for the extermination of the family.

East Gate,

Tiansheng Restaurant.

In the window box of the restaurant,

Several young people gathered together, toasting and talking.

They used to be the gentlemen in the capital, and no one dared to mess with them, but now they are the most honest people in the city.

Everyone knows that Jinyiwei's knife likes to cut them the second generation of officials the most.

At this moment, a fast horse rushed out of the city gate, and the figure on horseback said in a loud voice:

"Get out of the way!"

"Urgent military intelligence!"

"Eight hundred miles expedited!"

Hearing this, everyone on the street immediately scattered, and their eyes looked at the figure in the distance at the same time-Jin Yiwei.

……

Outside the Wu'an Hou Mansion,

A fast horse stopped, jumped down from above, knelt on one knee, held the token in his hand, and said loudly: "Jinyi Wei urgently, please Hou Ye!" ”

After a few breaths, another fast horse came, and the Jinyi guard on the horse turned over and jumped down, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Jinyi Wei is urgent, please play the Hou Ye!" ”

Not long after, another Jinyi guard came, knelt down on one knee, and shouted: "Jinyi Wei urgently report, please play the Hou Ye!" ”

"Jinyi Wei urgently report, please play Master Hou!"

This voice alarmed the entire Wu'an Hou Mansion.

At this moment, even the Jinyi guard who was on duty changed his face slightly.

There have been four urgent reports in a row, and this kind of thing has never happened before.

The key is worth directly reporting to Hou Ye's urgent report, what kind of big deal should it be?

The door of the Hou Mansion slowly opened, and a brocade-clothed guard stepped out, glanced at the four of them, and said in a deep voice: "Come in." ”

……

In the courtyard,

Lin Mang sat on a chair, holding a book in his hand, and flipped through it casually.

Hurried footsteps came from outside the hospital.

Tang Qi came in a hurry, bowed his hand, and said with an anxious expression: "Master Hou, I just received an urgent letter from Jinyiwei. ”

Lin Mang frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Tang Qi handed over the four secret reports together and said respectfully: "Letter from Taizhou, the Dongying Japanese invaded on a large scale, raised 50,000 troops, and attacked seven counties on the third day. ”

"In addition, the Emperor of Joseon sent people to ask for help, the city of Hanyang was broken, and Dongying had occupied most of the territory."

"Liaodong came to report, the Liaodong barbarians raised 100,000 troops to the south, occupied many places in Jianzhou, the savage Jurchen and Haixi Jurchen joined them, and the soldiers and horses reached 200,000, and Liaodong was in an emergency."

"There are also signs of troop mobilization in the Tumut Division, and the various units under its command have recently moved frequently, plundering several border towns, and the countries of the Western Regions have also deployed troops on the border, but they have not yet attacked."

Lin Mang put down the scroll, his face did not show the slightest panic, but showed a thoughtful look.

This is no longer a coincidence, but premeditated.

However, what surprised him the most was the North Korea incident, which should be one of the famous "three major expeditions".

This event was much earlier than the time of the canonical history.

Therefore, sometimes the land true immortal is not omnipotent.

At least at this moment, it is impossible for him to go to the four places alone, not to mention that this is not something he can solve alone.

But except for the North Korean incident, the rest of the wars can only be regarded as scabies.

There is Li Chengliang in Liaodong, as long as Liaodong is not attacked, it will not threaten the Ming Dynasty.

If it was before, he might have thought that this matter was aimed at the imperial court, but since he had met Zhang Sanfeng and learned about the secret realm, he also had some other speculations in his heart.

In troubled times, what really affects the secret realm is the secret realm.

The so-called great array that seals the heavens and locks the earth, the power comes from heaven and earth, and also from the people of the world.

Speaking of which, this array is somewhat similar to the principle of the palace array.

In the chaotic times, the world is chaotic, and maybe it will give those guys a chance.

It seems that Zhang Sanfeng has to be asked about this matter.

Thinking like this, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the hospital.

A brocade guard walked in quickly, bowed his hand and said, "Master Hou, the palace has sent someone to invite you to the court to discuss matters." ”

"It seems that the palace has also gotten the news."

Lin Mang got up and straightened his robe, and said with a smile: "Prepare the car, enter the palace!" ”
