Chapter 243: Stunned
"Cluck-la-la-la... Gurrah....."
The old beggar twisted his neck and twisted his waist, and the blood on the ground was still there, but the man could say that he could walk as if nothing had happened.
"Oh......" "Ho......"
Seeing that the old beggar took a few steps towards him, several forbidden soldiers with poor psychological quality fell backwards, even the guards in front of the palace with strong martial arts were suddenly powerful in their hearts.
After the old beggar said this, he lowered his head and patted his knees like dust, and then looked around, a large number of people who had seen the excitement before had basically run out, but there were also a few people hiding in the distance at the mouth of the alley to sneak a few glances.
Of course, there are still some people who are still standing in place and watching, naturally Ji Yuan and a few Yuhuai Mountain monks.
The old beggar glanced at the forbidden soldiers and the guards in front of the palace again, and then walked towards him while arching his hand towards Ji Yuan.
"Mr. Ji, let you see the joke, go for tea?"
Ji Yuan smiled and bowed back.
"I heard that there are still 1,000 taels of gold to take for the position of Heavenly Master, Mr. Lu is worthy of the name today, and this tea money is ......."
"Uh...... This tea money still has to be paid by Mr. Ji, let's call Hanako wasn't beheaded by the emperor, how can there be a reward for the sinful body......"
"Hahahaha...... Let's go, let's go, I'll please, I'll please!"
A gentleman in a green shirt and a beggar in a rag shirt strode away while talking and laughing, obviously walking slowly, but it seemed that the scenery was far away from sight, and it had disappeared in front of him in a few breaths.
It wasn't until Ji Yuan and the old beggar had disappeared for a while that some of the forbidden soldiers and the guards in front of the palace recovered from an unreal sense of fear.
Looking around, there were still a few people in long robes or feather coats who were standing still, but now they had also turned away, and some bold people came over to see the situation again.
The pool of blood on the ground was the same as a normal decapitated person, only this time no one needed to clean up the body.
After several palace guards eased up, they all looked at each other.
"So, that's really an immortal!?"
"It's... We, how do we return to the Holy One?"
"I can only tell the truth......"
The answer of others was a little apprehensive, it was really too unreal and unbelievable what had just happened, and people could still come back to life after being beheaded, and only the fairy characters could explain it.
But what such a report meant to the emperor, or what it meant to them, several palace guards didn't dare to think about it.
On the contrary, eighty percent of the forbidden troops around them will be fine, maybe it is still a kind of conversation when drinking and chatting in private.
When the forbidden army and the guards in front of the palace left Yongning Street with their own complicated feelings, more people returned here to listen to some bold people talk about the general situation just now.
From time to time, the crowd made noises of disbelief or amazement......
。。。
In the palace, because of the previous episode, the atmosphere in the court fell into embarrassment for a while, and it was not until later that he began to report on the Dharma meeting, and the atmosphere in the court slowly warmed up.
In addition to reporting some of the circumstances during the puja, all that remains is to continue to introduce the mages to the emperor.
None of the dozen or so mages said anything out of the ordinary, and it was normal for them to introduce themselves and then congratulate the emperor on the joy of his birthday.
In this group of people, the old emperor and some ministers obviously also have their own perceptual tendencies, and the mages who are good-looking naturally pay more attention, such as the monk, such as the old mage who showed the dragon son and dragon girl before Ji Yuan.
This happened to be the monk, and an official of the Ministry of Rites took the place of his usual duties and stretched out his hand to lead the monk.
"Your Majesty, this is Master Huitong, not my great chastity, from the north of Tingliang Kingdom, he recites scriptures in the puja, and the sound of Buddha reverberates, making the void room fragrant!"
"Oh?"
Emperor Yuande showed a hint of excitement on his face and looked at this monk Dao.
"This Master, what mysteries do you have?"
The monk smiled reluctantly, looked left and right, and then took a step forward, bowing to the old emperor with his hands folded.
"Good Ming King Buddha, back to Your Majesty, the little monk is just a person who eats fasting and recites Buddha, and there is no magic power, and participating in the Dharma meeting is just chanting sutras and praying for blessings and solving disasters!"
In fact, this monk is almost the only mage who does not want to come to the court to meet the emperor, and what he does in the Nine Heavens and Ten Meetings is really the work that a normal water and land puja should do, but he is too serious and shows some miracles, and he was directly selected by the Ministry of Rites as a candidate for the face saint.
The monk's tone was calm and his face was flat, and the old emperor squinted at him for a while, and then snorted coldly in a little disappointment before replying.
"Monk, you say that, could it be that the Aiqing of the Ministry of Rites is deceiving the widow?"
Several officials of the Ministry of Rites suddenly gasped, and their scalps were numb.
The monk also looked up at the emperor with a little panic, and hurriedly folded his hands and bowed.
"Good Daming King Buddha, Your Majesty is serious, the so-called pilgrimage to the people, did not explicitly say that there is a need for people with great magical powers, in the Dharma will sincerely pray for blessings and eliminate disasters, and those who have received merit are the first, I think the lords of the Ministry of Rites are also considered from this!"
"So you think you have merit?"
The emperor asked again, and then looked at the monk indifferently.
Huitong monk bowed with his hands.
The little monk thought to himself that there was still something. ”
The atmosphere was a little silent, and after a short while, the emperor on the dragon chair waved his hand and asked the monk to step down, and many officials of the Ministry of Rites also breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, when the face was being prepared, many officials in charge of the puja, including Yan Chang, had a good impression of the monk, while the others were not very interested in the old beggar's appearance, but Yan Chang was very respectful.
As a result, it was these two people today, one of whom made Yan Chang directly cause a catastrophe, and the other also made the people in the Ministry of Rites pinch a cold sweat.
Seeing that the monk had retreated to the group of mages, the official of the Ministry of Rites was about to continue to introduce the next one when a burst of reports came from outside the hall.
"The Execution Guards Return ~~~~~"
The courtiers and the emperor subconsciously turned their eyes to the outside of the hall, and Emperor Yuan De nodded at the old eunuch on the side.
"Xuan. ”
"Yes!"
The old eunuch bowed behind him and shouted.
"There is a decree in the saint, and the guards before the proclamation of the torture hall enter the hall ~~~~"
After a few breaths, a total of four guards in front of the palace with swords re-entered the main hall together, but the ministers who were closer could see that their faces were not very good.
The four of them came to the center of the main hall together and knelt down on one knee in the direction of the dragon chair.
This gesture was strange to some quick-thinking ministers, who normally did not need to kneel if they were saints.
"Report to Your Majesty, we have beheaded the old beggar in the middle of Yongning Street......"
"Well, stand down!"
The Emperor waved his hand with interest.
It's just that none of the four palace guards got up, and still knelt there.
Emperor Yuande squinted his eyes and looked at the four of them, could there be any variables?
"What's the matter?"
The four guards glanced at each other, they couldn't dodge, and the one in front of the right gritted his teeth and still spoke.
"Returning to Your Majesty, I beheaded the old beggar with my own hands, and the head rolled down and blood spattered, but it was just ......"
"Just what?"
The guard looked up at the Emperor, his back feeling a little hot.
"It's just that after a while, the old beggar with a different head actually stood up on his own again, and the head and corpse echoed each other, and finally the corpse returned to its place with its head in its head and came back to life!"
"What!?"
The old emperor's body shook, and he almost stood up holding the golden handle of the dragon chair.
"Ah......h
"This guard won't talk nonsense, will he?"
"Does he have the guts......
......
Not to mention the emperor's horror, even the courtiers who had been quiet most of the time before couldn't help but talk about it, and there were many doubts, incredulians and creeps.
Emperor Yuande's hands holding the chair handle trembled slightly, staring at the four palace guards with wide eyes, and said angrily with a slight trill:
"You dare to deceive Lonely?"
"Don't dare to be lowly!" "How dare you commit the crime of deceiving the king!"
"Emperor Mingjian!"
The four guards turned pale and kept bowing to the emperor.
The guard who had spoken before clenched his fists and said bitterly.
"Your Majesty, we will never dare to deceive the king, the accompanying forbidden army and we witnessed together, but when Yongning Street was beheaded, there were many onlookers, and the old beggar came back from the dead in a different place, which frightened many people to flee in a hurry, Your Majesty only needs to send someone to Yongning Street to ask, it is now, the pool of beheading blood is still there!
On the dragon chair, Emperor Yuan De's breathing was slightly short, and he pointed to the four palace guards and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything when he opened his mouth several times.
After a long time, I finally drank and asked.
"He, what about the others, where did they go, why didn't they come back with you!?"
The muscles of several palace guards were tense, and no matter how uneasy they were, they could only continue to talk about it.
It was the leader who spoke.
"Back to Your Majesty, after the old beggar got up, he moved his body for a while, and left with a man who looked like a Confucian in a green shirt and robe......"
Emperor Yuande couldn't help but stand up, and said angrily in a fierce voice.
"Why don't you just let him go!?"
The guard in front of the hall looked up at the emperor with a terrifying face, closed his eyes, and continued.
"These two are men of God, and they have disappeared in a few steps, and we have no way to catch them...... Before the old beggar left, he left a sentence......"
"Say ......!"
The guard took a heavy breath.
"The old beggar once looked at us and said, the imperial qi is easily involved, and said...... He also said that he was related to Your Majesty, your master and apprentice...... It's all over!"
The old emperor stood stunned, his mouth open, his jaw trembling slightly, and his heart was intertwined with various emotions that were both complex and dazed, and it seemed that a large piece was empty.
For some reason, when the guards in front of the palace said this, the old emperor seemed to have a strong feeling in his heart that "this is a fact".
After a long time, the old emperor's body shook, his legs were weak, and he fell back on ......the dragon chair with a "snap".
"Your Majesty!"
The eunuch on the side was nervously concerned, and when the old emperor turned his head to look at him, there was a sense of emptiness in his eyes.
The four guards in front of the hall knelt and bowed their heads, and the hall was silent, and the entire hall fell into a brief silence.
"Ho... Ho... Ho ......"
After a while, Emperor Yuande came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, looked at the four palace guards who did not dare to make any moves, and then turned his head to look at the old eunuch on the side, and said in a slightly hurried voice.
"Decree, decree, commander of the concession army, Gyeonggi Prefecture, Si Tianjian...... All go, all go find me, get people back!
The old emperor's state was a little scary, and the old eunuch replied stubbornly.
"Your Majesty, Lord Yan is in the prison now......"
"What? He's in prison, who can keep him, who dares to ......"
The emperor paused when he said this, and suddenly remembered what happened before, and his color was even more depressed, and he was stunned......
