Chapter 173: Entering the Palace

"Drive!"

Da Da Da ......

The horse's hooves were churning, and several fast horses galloped across the official street, all the way out of the Jianchun Gate to the east of the city, and the knight led by him waved a long whip and shouted:

"Get out of the way!

The Law of Sighs –

The horses came galloping, waiting to check the people and merchants who had entered the city, and they all avoided the things in their hands, and the rumbling of horses' hooves passed, and they got up from the ground in embarrassment, looking at the fast horses that rushed out of the city gate and shouting in a low voice.

"Running so fast, rushing to be reincarnated. "You almost hit me, but luckily you were able to dodge quickly!"

"I'm not afraid of killing people, these people. ”

The sky darkened, the official road extended for more than ten miles, the galloping fast horse grabbed the nearby forest road, a bird flew and circled, several people passed through the forest, and saw a circular altar standing in the field.

"Phew!!"

On the horse at the head, one of them was pale and emaciated, and raised his iron gloves slightly, so that the men who followed him dismounted.

"Don't make noise, so as not to disturb the Fazhang's practice!"

After getting off the horse, he looked around with a blue and white face, overgrown with weeds, fog spreading, and the sun did not feel much temperature on his body.

"It's strange, it's so cold on a hot day. ”

Walking through the white stone steps engraved with the big red characters of 'Pudu Cihang', the blue and white face knocked on the red gate, and the long altar courtyard wall was painted snow-white, which was only completed last year, and there was no dust on it.

Just as he was looking around, there was a squeak, and the door suddenly cracked a crack on its own, and the blue and white face asked his subordinates to follow, and walked in carefully.

"Archaic!"

Entering the inside, there is a circular viewing altar, and the surrounding viewing seats are like stone steps climbing one by one, and in each position, there is an ever-bright lamp lit.

"Commander, this is weird. ”

The person who followed behind Qingbai opened his mouth in fear, and the Qingbai face who was moving forward turned his face slightly sideways, and lowered his voice: "This is the Dharma altar, do you think it is an ordinary temple? Don't talk nonsense, be careful to bump into the Fazhang." ”

"Yes. ”

The man hurriedly responded, and the moment he passed the center of the temple, a black shadow suddenly flashed at the entrance and exit in front of him, and a woman with a black veil in a high bun and a staff in her hand walked out expressionlessly.

The head of the five people.

"Good, good, good, the five have a murderous aura, and they can't enter to see the Fazhang. ”

Seeing that it was the maid beside the abbot, the blue face breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly arched his hand and said:

"I am here on the orders of the emperor, and Your Majesty wants to invite the abbot to settle in the palace. ”

The maid lowered her head and did not move, and only after a long time did she say softly: "Wait a minute." He turned around and walked inside, the wind was howling, and it was pitch black all around, as long as a few red lanterns hung nearby.

In the range of the swaying red lights, a tulle curtain moved, and a thin figure could be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged, perhaps hearing footsteps, the closed eyes were slightly open, and the mouth was soft.

"What's going on out there?"

The maid came over and erected a seal: "Your Majesty has sent someone to invite the abbot to settle in the palace." ”

Inside the curtain, Pudu Cihang did not respond, and the slightly closed eyes were closed again, and it was just the last step away.

In the darkness all around, there was a squirming movement, and one by one the figures walked into the range of the lantern, silently lifting the crane-headed lotus sedan chair to form a 'long dragon'.

The five people outside stood respectfully, and when they looked at the team walking out of the inside, they hurriedly lowered their faces, not daring to look directly, and waited until the sedan chair stopped in front of them, and only then did they hear a cold female voice.

"Your Majesty's sage, it is the blessing of all the people, and you will be rewarded with great fortune when you are near. ”

The blue and white face was flushed with joy, and he bowed down, and the four people behind him also hurriedly learned to behave, and spoke again and again:

"Thank you for your blessing. ”

In the curtain, Pudu Cihang erected the head of the jaw, the sedan chair set off again, the golden cymbal, the bell, and the wooden fish knocked out the Buddha's sound, and went straight out of the gate after the altar, and the five people who stayed in the altar congratulated each other.

"It's okay now, if we are valued by the Fazhang, we will definitely be promoted!" "Let's go, go back to your majesty first." ”

"Hanging out at night?"

"Haha, this is how it should be, just take it as the commander!"

The blue and white face was behind him with one hand, squinting and listening to the congratulations of the four people under him, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked a smile, and he was about to let them leave and go back, when his footsteps suddenly stopped, and his ears trembled.

Hiss~~

The sound of insects came faintly, and the four people who had taken a few steps in front turned around, still with smiles on their faces.

"Commander, why don't you leave?"

In the next second, the loose soil broke open, and several black shadows broke through the ground, and in the field of vision of the blue and white face, the black shadows opened and closed like pincers, instantly biting the back of the necks of the four people, and the four of them were pulled into the ground before they could even say a few words.

Watching the plasma leaching out of the soil and gushing outward, the blue and white face kicked back a few steps, and behind his head, the sound of breaking the air came, and he roared angrily, his fist gloves clenched, and he turned around and punched out.

Bang!

The fist hit the hard carapace, the sparks jumped out, and the blue and white face saw the other party clearly, a long insect as thick as a human waist waved its tentacles, and the blow was not successful, twisting the long body of the link, setting off a fishy wind, and burrowing into the ground in the blink of an eye.

"What a monster!"

Rao is strong martial arts, his blue and white face is still frightened, when he thinks that this is the altar of the law, this matter must be related to the law, even if he has done things for the law, but now it seems that the other party is going to kill him.

"It's not good, the Dharma is going to enter the palace......"

The thought flashed, and the blue white face took a step and ran towards the gate, just two steps, bang, the ground collapsed, and there was a sharp pain in his ankle, and the pincer-like mouthparts bit there, dragged down, and half of his body sank.

"Youkai!!" the corners of his mouth were bloody, and he slammed his fist.

At this moment, the dirt on the other side broke open, and a black shadow snaked and swam, silently biting the back of the struggling man.

Burst!

The blood mist was filled, a pool of blood splashed onto the nearby viewing platform, and in the light of the flickering torches, the back of the figure who half-bodied into the dirt was pulled out......

Boom.

The hollowed-out corpse was thrown far away and landed on the altar, and a woman in a robe came over and sat the corpse squarely behind the ever-bright lamp, her face serene, as if she had closed her eyes and was in a steady place.

......

Tianzhi Imperial Palace, in the middle of the night, the emperor stood outside the Chengyun Palace, walked back and forth, stood on the side of the stone carved eaves pillar, stretched his neck from time to time, looked towards the distant palace road, saw that no one came, and smashed his fist in the palm of his hand.

"Why hasn't the Dharma come yet? ”

No one dared to answer the eunuchs and maids around, and a little eunuch suddenly raised his head, his eyes lit up, and he trotted behind the emperor.

He bowed his head and said in a somewhat excited tone.

"Your Majesty, the Dharma is here!"

Chen Shubao turned around, and saw a team of palace roads spreading, and in the midst of the sound of Buddha, the emperor walked quickly down the stone steps to meet him.

"Archaic!"

The slowly approaching procession stopped, the crane-headed lotus in the middle descended to the ground, the curtain was lifted, and a thin old monk wearing a golden robe and a long-eared monk's hat stepped on the petals.

With both hands together, he said, "Your Majesty." ”

"The Dharma Priest doesn't need to be polite, hurry up and follow me to the temple to speak. ”

Chen Shubao waved his hand to the surrounding eunuchs and maids, made a gesture of please, and walked into the Chengyun Hall with Pudu Cihang, and asked the attendants to retreat before he opened his mouth to talk about the matter.

"I sent 30,000 soldiers to return in vain, that Lu Liangsheng demon law is profound, driving all kinds of ferocious demon beasts to guard the main road of Qixia Mountain, it is like a battle to crack the country, the abbot will help me no matter what. ”

The hall was brightly lit, and the old monk sitting on one side listened expressionlessly, and when the emperor finished speaking, he slowly opened his eyes, as if he was looking at Chen Shubao without a trace of dragon qi without interest.

"Father!"

At this time, outside the door of the hall, there was a child's voice, Chen Jing walked into the door with the support of the eunuch, and saw an old monk, his little face was stunned for a moment, and he bowed respectfully.

"I've seen the Fajo. ”

Pudu Cihang, who had originally closed his eyes again, opened his eyes again, and looked at the young man at the door for a while, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Why did Jing'er come here?"

"Mother said, let Jing'er come over to say hello to my father, so that you can rest early. ”

"Well, you go back first, I still have something to talk about with the Fajo. ”

After the father and son finished speaking, the door of the temple was closed again, and the thin figure in front of the temple pillar stood up from the banquet, and when the fire was extinguished, the female voice sounded coldly from the mouth of Pudu Cihang.

"Your Majesty, this abbot will live in the palace and ensure that His Majesty is safe. ”

"Great!"

The emperor on the imperial stairs excitedly slapped the dragon case and immediately ordered someone to clean the palace.
