Chapter Ninety-Two: The General's Mansion
The wind and snow returned to the people, and it was not until the time of the shift that Zhou Bai and the three of them groped out of the vast wilderness.
Although he was a returning guest, Xiahou Jie did not have any joy in his eyes, the deepest part of his eyes where the swastika had been hidden, and the Buddha nature on his body was also deliberately suppressed.
Zhou Bai looked at the bright Youzhou City in the distance, and said with a smile, "Xiahou Jie, you will be home soon, why are you still sad?"
Xiahoujie looked back at the wild ridge where the red light rushed to the sky, illuminating the entire sky, and seemed to hear the assembly of the army and the grief of the monks, the smoke billowed up, and Xiahoujie whispered the Sutra of the Past in his mouth.
"Mr. Zhou, Baiyun Temple has no cause and effect with you, and is even an ally of your trip, why is Mr. so ruthless to kill them all. Xiahou Jie was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked.
Zhou Bai smiled and said, "First, it is the Buddha Gate that is allied with me, not the Baiyun Temple, and Baiyun is just acting on behalf of the Buddha Gate." Second, it's not that I'm going to kill them all, it's your father who shot them, so what does it have to do with me?"
Looking at Xiahou Jie's calm gaze, Zhou Bai couldn't help but sigh at the cleverness of Buddhism's methods.
Third, Bai Yun had already known this result, and this was the path he had chosen. He pinned his hopes on you, and for this, he would rather lose the entire Baiyun Temple. Zhou Bai looked at Xiahou Jie with a smile on his face, "Since you are the son of Xiahou, you could have blocked the Xuanjia soldiers and horses, so why did you follow me without any reaction?"
Hongyu frowned, Zhou Bai's aggressiveness made her a little uncomfortable.
Xiahou Jie said in a deep voice: "If I stop the Xuanjia soldiers and horses, there will be no day to succeed to the throne in the future." I want to succeed to the throne, I want to control the world, and only in this way can I establish a Buddha kingdom where all sentient beings have no suffering, but they receive all kinds of happiness, everyone is good, no bad karma is created, merit is added, and no sinking Buddha is established. ”
When he said this, the fanatical piety in his eyes stunned Zhou Bai.
"I really want your father to hear these words. Zhou Bai was shocked.
Xiahou Jie, who had regained his composure, plucked the rosary, "Mr. Zhou will not say it." ”
Zhou Bai nodded and smiled, "Of course, now that I have an alliance with Buddhism, you are the last straw for Buddhism, how can I bear to pull it out?"
"Baiyun Temple is hidden in the illusory reality, how does Mr. know the exact location?" Before walking out of the mountains, Xiahou Jie couldn't help but ask the question that Baiyun wanted to ask.
Zhou Bai looked at Xia Houjie with a smile, the meaning in his eyes was unclear, but it made Xia Houjie feel inexplicable anger and fear.
"You'll know. ”
The three of them walked out of the forest, and two columns of light moved quickly from the city gate, and soon reached them.
"Yakumo, Sun Luo welcomes the young master/prince back to the city. Sun Luo stood with his head held high and looked straight ahead, and Yakumo bowed slightly, avoiding Zhou Bai's playful gaze.
Before Zhou Bai's methods were discovered, Xiahou had already ordered that he should not be attacked, so although Yakumo's eyes were full of murderous intent, he was helpless. The staff is with the general, and the general should be respected.
Sun Luo's sharp gaze stabbed at Zhou Bai, and Zhou Bai calmly looked at him without changing his color.
"Zhou Bai, it's really better to be famous than to meet, such a weak scholar can even break through a few levels in Youzhou?" Sun Luo said disdainfully.
Zhou Bai stood with a smile, "That's true, a weak scholar can also break through Youzhou for a few levels." ”
The literati kill people, using words as knives, although repeating Sun Luo's words, the word remains the same, but the slight difference in tone is enough to make the other party thunderous.
Sun Luo's hands were bruised, and he held back his anger, "I hope you can leave Youzhou alive." "The killing intent is beyond words. Yayun was killed, and the qi and blood in his body suddenly surged, and he couldn't wait to give an order to kill Zhou Bai on the spot with Sun Luo!
In the city lord's mansion, Xiahou had already arranged a place for Zhou Bai and Hongyu to live, and after Zhou Bai settled down, he found that Hongyu had been sitting in his room for a long time.
"This city lord's mansion is still a void period monk, two monks, and five people in the god refining period, so they don't dare to tear their faces against us, as if they are afraid of you. Ruby wondered.
Zhou Bai got up and sat down in front of Hongyu, picked up the tea and poured a cup for Hongyu, then poured a cup himself, and said with a smile, "I have nothing to be afraid of, what they are afraid of should be you." In the past six months, your cultivation has not had any bottlenecks, and your cultivation has grown at a rapid rate, how dare those speculative people make a move against you. ”
Zhou Bai didn't deceive Hongyu, but just said a little less, so Hongyu didn't perceive anything abnormal.
Looking at Hongyu quietly, Zhou Bai suddenly smiled and said, "I've known each other for more than half a year, and I don't seem to have ever given you a gift." ”
Hongyu looked at Zhou Bai suspiciously, not understanding why she suddenly talked about it.
Zhou Bai took out a black hairband from his sleeve, "I see that your headband is a little old, this is what I have made up recently when I have nothing to do, I will give it to you." ”
Ruby's heart warmed. With a little crimson on his cheeks, he took the headband, "Thank you." The red light dissipated, and the red jade had disappeared in front of Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai shook his head and chuckled, lying on the bed not knowing what he was thinking.
It was already dawn, and the quiet city lord's mansion began to be noisy, and Zhou Bai, who was disturbed from his dream, couldn't help but turn over and get up, yawning and going out only to find that there was a military report coming from the border.
Heralds shuttled between the main hall and the main gate, and occasionally some hurried to the side halls.
Hongyu looked at Zhou Bai suspiciously, and Zhou Bai waved his hand to show that he didn't know anything.
"It must be that the alien race wants to enter the country to loot while the New Year is over, and these things are handled by them, the Xuanjia guards. Zhou Bai smiled and said, "Xiahou shouldn't have time to meet me today, how about we go out of the house and visit the most prosperous Youzhou City on the border?"
The two walked all the way out, and the guards in the palace did not stop them as if they had received orders in advance.
Zhou Bai walked down the steps quickly, then turned around and stared at Hongyu tightly, Hongyu looked at Zhou Bai puzzled, "Why do you look at me like this?"
Zhou Bai nodded and said, "Well, um~ It's really suitable, it's beautiful." ”
Only then did Hongyu react, touched the hairband tied in her hair, glanced at Zhou Bai and said, "Don't go quickly." ”
Zhou Bai couldn't help laughing, stepped forward and took Hongyu's hand and ran towards Xishi.
...
"Zhou Bai is out of the house?" The anxious Xiahou flipped through the information and studied the battle report map. Hearing the guard's words, he paused for a moment, and then said, "It's okay, in wartime, the war should be the most important, and he will leave the house when he leaves the house." ”
"How is the cannon fodder battalion? Can it form combat effectiveness?" Xia Hou took the newly handed information and ignored the guards around him, "Xiang Er, don't talk to Lao Tzu, what I want is the result, what I want is that the alien race can't step into Qingyang Pass!"
Xia Hou turned around and paced towards the sand table, but saw that the guards were still standing still, and frowned, "What's the matter?"
The guard hesitated and said, "Since the prince came back last night, he has always said that he wants to see you, and now he has been waiting for you in the study for a night. You see?"
Xiahou was stunned for a moment, pushed away the information handed over to him, thought for a while and said, "I haven't been free these days, and I'll go to see him when I'm free." Also, tell him that he will not be allowed to leave the house in the near future. ”
Looking down at the sand table, there is already a mountain in the middle of the wild ridge that has been uprooted from all vegetation and painted with coke to make it pitch black, and there is no grass growing at all!
