Chapter 98: Bright Terrace
"I searched all night and didn't find it, senior brother and sister are in trouble in the palace, we can't waste time here!" Liao Birui couldn't wait to hurry back to Hangzhou, so she simply rushed over. Wu Yiming also proposed to set off quickly, he was fed up with the lack of food and clothing here, and he complained all day long, and he couldn't even sleep well.
After all, Ma Santong is old, he gathered everyone together, and said: "Everyone must have known the matter, at the moment the Qiantang palace in Hangzhou City is in an emergency, but the stone is missing at this time, we are now discussing whether to go or stay? Those who decide to leave will stand on the right, and those who stay to look for the stone will stand on the left." ”
As expected, everyone stood on the right, and Ma Santong thought to himself: Stone, stone, it's not that Senior Brother Ma won't help you, this time it's everyone's idea, if you want to blame it in the future, you can't blame it on my Quanzhen Sect.
"In that case, then let's set off immediately and return to Hangzhou!"
Rotten Keshan.
The autumn sun swept through the mountains, like a golden arrow, and the mountain was shrouded in a layer of golden light, the mountains and mountains, the strange peaks and cliffs, like a group of soldiers in emerald blue uniforms, proudly bathed in the golden sunshine, quietly waiting for the horn of war.
On the flat ground of the top of the Rotten Ke Mountain, a torch-shaped platform has been built early, it is about two zhang high, the upper is large and the lower is small, the platform above is one zhang long and wide, there are stone ladders on all sides, the seal is engraved with dragon and phoenix cloud patterns, looking at it from afar, like a huge torch, just waiting to ignite the fire that soars to the sky, absorb the yang energy of the Rotten Ke Mountain, and lead the Buddha Mother to be born!
This Guangming Platform was specially built by the White Lotus Sect for this event, and the sect leader sent people to secretly kidnap dozens of skilled craftsmen from all over the country, escorted them all the way to Lanke Mountain, and rushed to work day and night, and finally completed it today.
The leader of the White Lotus Sect personally came to inspect the construction of the Guangming Platform, she was wearing a snow-white woven gold makeup over-the-shoulder satin robe, her face was covered with a layer of thin veil, which looked extremely mysterious, followed by Daxiang Xiaoxiang, came to the Guangming Platform, and examined the appearance of the Guangming Platform.
The group of craftsmen knelt down in unison, they already knew that they were in danger, and they just wanted to complete it as soon as possible, so that they could return to their hometowns, and begged: "Master, we have finished building this bright platform, can you let us go back?"
The sect leader was noncommittal, took a step, climbed the Guangming Platform, and looked into the distance, the scenery around the Rotten Ke Mountain was in full view, and there was endless murderous aura hidden in the peaks.
"You have accomplished a great thing for my White Lotus Sect, my sect is grateful, now the world is about to repeat, the White Lotus Sect is in the ascendant, are you willing to submit to my sect?"
Craftsmen, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are at a loss, and a few timid ones are so frightened that they cry, "Sect Master, let us go back, we will never leak any news!" Everyone kept shouting and kowtowing.
"Hahahaha!" The sect leader said: "I have waited for this opportunity for hundreds of years, I will not let anyone destroy my great affairs, if you don't want to submit, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After that, the sect leader with one hand, from the back of the white clothes flew out countless black smoke-like flying cables, fluttering, black, long in the wind, like octopus tentacles flying towards the crowd, those craftsmen were already frightened to the fart, scattered and fled, but soon choked by the smoke rope, fell to the ground, the smoke rope was like a huge straw, transporting everyone's blood into the sect body, and after a while, dozens of craftsmen turned into a pile of dried corpses!
The sect leader put away the cigarette cord and stared at the tragic situation in the audience, the death makeup of those people was extremely terrifying, ordinary people couldn't look at it directly, she had mixed feelings in her heart, and thought, I did this, is it right or wrong?
The Sanyang Ghost King came to the stage at some point, he witnessed the power of the sect master's spell, bowed to the ground, and said: "I didn't expect the sect master's thousand-year-old soul chasing rope to have reached such a realm, it's really gratifying!"
When the sect leader saw the Sanyang Ghost King, he put away his reverie and said: "Ghost King, the Guangming Platform has been completed, everything is ready at this time, just wait for the night of the full moon, my White Lotus Sect's thousand-year-old foundation, whether it can be prosperous, it will be a matter of one move!"
"Sect Master, rest assured, Hangzhou City is all in the hands of our sect, as for this rotten Ke Mountain, tens of thousands of sect members have gathered, and when the Buddha Mother comes to the world, she will lead us to success in one fell swoop!"
The sect leader took a deep breath, closed his eyes and looked up to the sky, and after a while said, "The Buddha Mother came to the world, and the great light can come to the world, so what's the harm in sacrificing dozens, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people for this?"
Qiantang Palace, Mingyuan Building Secret Room.
The prince was wearing a bloated dragon robe, wearing a crown, sitting in a precarious position, accepting the daily routine court meeting of Chai Xiuji and King Yiyang Ming, it can be seen that he is extremely eager to ascend the throne and sit on the throne, but he is a little worried and undecided.
Chai Xiuji is good at observing words and feelings, and said in a timely manner: "Although the emperor can rest assured, all the ministers have been arranged according to the plan, on the night of the prince's wedding, all the civil and military officials in Zhejiang who are above the second grade will be invited to the mansion for a banquet, when the time comes, we will raise the banner of rebellion, under the sword soldiers, they dare not disobey, Zhejiang will all return to the local convenience, and then set foot in Suzhou and Anhui, Fujian and Guangdong, and Dinglianghu, at that time, the people with lofty ideals in the world will return at night, why worry about the world?"
King Yiyang Ming saw that Chai Xiuji was confident, and also said with a smile: "What Xiang Ye said is very true, and when the time comes, with the help of my White Lotus Sect, it will be easy to sweep the world, the emperor does not have to worry, but the minister found that our plan has leaked out, I wonder if Xiang Ye can know?"
"Oh, there is such a thing, Xiangye, you go and check to see who leaked the news. "The prince hates traitors the most.
Chai Xiuji's face was expressionless, he knew that King Yiyang Ming was doubting himself, the news was indeed leaked by him, he was the first ninja of the Tokugawa Shogunate in Dongying, on the orders of his master, he came to China to spy on the national situation, the primary purpose was to find the strange book "Record Ghost Book", and later he provided the news of the government to the coastal Wako, heard that the King of Qiantang had antipathy, so he instigated the King of Qiantang to rebel, but also to cause a Chinese civil war, consume national strength, and the Dongying Wako can wait for the opportunity to invade the southeast frontier, but now he still needs to wait for the opportunity.
"Back to the emperor, the minister did not find out that the news was leaked, but the minister must investigate in detail when he goes back. Chai Hideyoshi prevaricated.
King Yiyang Ming knew that Chai Xiuji could no longer be trusted, but now was not the time to tear his face, so he could only endure it for the time being.
Shiziso.
The prince Zhu Zaiying returned and returned to the palace, he made up his mind to stop his father's plan, to prevent his father from going to the abyss of no return, and trapping the people of the world in the flames of war.
