Chapter 11 The Secret Hall of the Palace

When Shang Buqi and Planck came to the venue together, there were constantly people coming up to talk, mostly between their tribes, and there were also many people who came up to talk to Qing Yu.

Shang Buqi didn't like this kind of occasion so he found an excuse to find something to drink, Shang Buqi was looking at all kinds of fruits and foods at a table, and he was also distinguishing which ones were similar to those in Changsheng Prefecture and which ones he hadn't seen, and he always had to taste some of the foods he hadn't seen, and then make an evaluation in his heart.

When Shang Buqi was immersed in food, there was a sturdy figure, wearing a coarse cloth horse jacket with cut sleeves on his upper body, and the gray trousers on his lower body were wrapped with rope cloth and the legs were wrapped with rope cloth to connect to the cloth shoes below, and the fire light around his head was shining.

The walker came to Shang Buqi's side, "Mr. Silly Gen, hello, we meet again." ”

Shang Buqi turned his head, "Hello master, I haven't asked the master for the name yet." ”

"Mr. laughed at me, how dare I call me a master in front of Mr., the little monk 'I don't understand'. ”

"It turns out that I don't understand the master, and the master has something to do with me?"

The question asked by Mr. in the ring was thought about for a long time after the monk went back and still had no answer. I don't understand, I said to Shang Buqi very respectfully.

"Of course I know," Shang Buqi said vaguely, chewing something in his mouth.

This ignorant person thinks that even if this person doesn't know the answer, the person who can ask such a profound question must not be an ordinary person, and he must have a deep understanding of the Dharma, but he can't imagine that these inexplicable questions and answers are just what Shang Buqi said when he was bored in Zhongzhou and chatted with Dongting.

"Please also ask Mr. to give a lecture or two, and the little monk is grateful. He didn't know how to fold his hands and bow respectfully.

Shang Buqi thought for a moment and said. "That's not okay, you also know that there is a lot of truth in this, and my master doesn't allow me to talk to outsiders, only me, my relatives or my disciples. ”

Shang Buqi also learned his master's trick, "flickering"

"Then I don't know if the gentleman can take me as an apprentice. I don't know how to say sincerely.

Shang Buqi wanted to use this reason to prevaricate in the past, but he didn't expect that he didn't understand that the monk was so persistent. "How can this be, you and I are the same age, and besides, you should also have a master. ”

"It's not in the way, I was kicked out by my master, saying that I was asked to come out to hone, my master said that I always stay in the Luohan Cliff and can't realize the Buddha's principles, and also said that I am too stupid, the person who can help me enlighten is outside, and when I heard the question asked by Mr. that day, I knew that Mr. was sent by the Buddha to cross me. I didn't know how to look at Shang Buqi respectfully, as if I wanted to see Shang Buqi as the Buddha in the world.

This practitioner is too naΓ―ve, no wonder he doesn't understand the law name, it's really a fool, at this time, Shang Buqi had an idea in his mind, is it that the great monk of Luohan Cliff thinks that this 'don't understand' is really not enlightened and deceived to go down the mountain.

"I won't accept apprentices, and besides, I still have things to do, and I won't have time to teach you if I leave here soon. ”

"It doesn't matter, I also came out to practice, I can go anywhere, just let me learn from you, Mr. Silly Gen, and I can help Master you do all kinds of rough work, I did everything when I was in Luohan Cliff.

Shang Buqi had already begun to wonder if he was driven down the mountain by those great monks of Luohan Cliff as coolies.

"I didn't say that I would accept you as an apprentice, and besides, how could I be your master based on that question. "Shang Buqi now regrets a little bit that he provoked this I don't understand, and if he didn't let him fly in the first place, there would be no such trouble.

"My master once taught me that I can be a teacher with every word, let alone the profound Dharma of my husband.

Shang Buqi was completely speechless, he didn't understand, the monk didn't understand, or did he understand everything. "Whatever you want"

Although Shang Buqi tried his best to explain, he "didn't understand" at this time, he had completely regarded Shang Buqi as a senior master, and he also regarded Shang Buqi's dirty shape as a master who was unkempt and informal, but his inner cultivation was profound, and Shang Buqi's refusal to accept him as an apprentice was also regarded as definitely testing him.

At this time, from a distance, a man and a woman came two elves, both of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes, the man was handsome and tall, the female elf wore a crown and a tulle on her body, and held a silver-white staff in her hand. "Mr. Silly Gen, you don't understand the master, hello. Carlo greeted the two first.

"Hello, who are you?" Of course, Shang Buqi knew who these two were, and he deliberately pretended to be confused here.

And the monk who didn't understand smiled and folded his hands and bowed slightly.

"I am Carlo, the lord of Carlo, and this is Karina, the high priest of Carlo. Carlo replied in a calm tone.

"I don't know what the lord and the high priest have to say. Shang Buqi also lightly leaned slightly to show respect, although Shang Buqi didn't take them to heart, but how to say that it is also someone else's territory, and this big man took the initiative to find himself It must not be as simple as chatting, in case it is a cost-effective business, Shang Buqi has already begun to think about it in his heart.

"I wonder if Mr. Silly Gen and Master Ignorance can go to the inner sanctum," Carlo replied.

Sure enough, there is something, this Carlo speaks directly without beating around the bush, and it really has the style of a city lord. "No problem"

I don't understand, the monk bowed again, indicating that he also agreed.

There was a silver throne on the top of the inner hall, and on both sides of it were tables and chairs made of fine wood, Shang Buqi and he didn't know how to follow Carlo and Karina to the inner hall, only to see that there were already some elven leaders scattered on both sides.

Shang Buqi found a relatively unobtrusive position and sat down, and the monk who didn't understand it also took the initiative to follow Shang Buqi next to him.

I don't understand the monk looked at Shang Buqi, Shang Buqi didn't make reluctant expressions and movements, I didn't understand that this was Shang Buqi accepted him, and he was very happy in his heart.

In fact, Shang Buqi was too lazy to pay attention to him, Shang Buqi was thinking about what the hell was going on, and how to make some benefits if he wanted to help.

After he sat down, Planck and Qing Yu also rushed in, Planck and Qing Yu saw Shang Buqi and walked over and sat on the other side of Shang Buqi, Qing Yu and Planck were also a little surprised when they saw that they didn't understand the monk sitting next to Shang Buqi, and wanted to interrogate Shang Buqi, but the city lord sat on it and didn't understand and was so close so he didn't ask anything.

Then Siyou came in with Temon and his two external elders.

When everyone arrived, Carlo began to speak.

"All the tribal leaders and distinguished guests from other states, I think everyone has a lot of questions, and I have asked you for the purpose of inviting you here. β€œ

Although the tribe is under the jurisdiction of the main city in this area, but the tribal leaders are generally passed down from their fathers, and the history of each tribe is very long, nominally under the jurisdiction of the main city, but in fact, most of the time it is only nominal, as long as there is no big mess, it is basically self-controlled, and today since you want to ask these leaders for help, you naturally have a better attitude.

"The city lord has something to order, and our tribes will definitely do their best to help the city lord. At this time, the leader of the horse began to speak.

Carlo nodded to the leader who spoke, "This time I want to ask the leaders to send troops to help suppress the bandits." β€œ

"Suppressing bandits, isn't it always the main city that sends troops to maintain order, why do you want our tribe to send troops together?"

There are already questions raised by the chieftains, and this is also the question of many leaders.

"The elite troops of the main city of riot bandits in the general area are sufficient, and there are some tricky characters this time. Someone else said.

Carlo nodded again in acquiescence. "It's Mingtang. β€œ

"It turned out to be Mingtang. β€œ

"How could it be. β€œ

"No wonder all the tribes are going to send troops. β€œ

β€œ...β€œ

Shang Buqi also searched for this "Mingtang" in his memory, but he didn't seem to have any impression, but when he was in Linhai City before, he heard the fishing boats talk about the four major underworld forces, but the specific situation is unknown.

Mingtang, one of the four underworld forces jointly recognized by the Kyushu government and the Soma Gang and the other two organizations, but it is better to say that it is the underworld forces than the hat that the government has buttoned up, and the people are mostly called the four mysterious forces, the birthplace of Mingtang is the Holy Spirit State, each of the four major underworld forces is a large number of members and masters, although the Holy Spirit State has been strangled many times, but its organizational location is secret, and the high-level figures are also very mysterious, and the government has also lost a lot of troops and generals several times, but these four major underworld forces also know that it is a loss to do it against the government, so they have not blatantly done some evil things, they have become more and more restrained, and the government is more difficult to pursue, but the one sitting in the imperial city has never given up the idea of eradicating this black force, as long as there is a trace of it, he will try his best to eradicate it.

The many leaders sitting below were talking in whispers, and Carlo didn't stop him, because he was shocked and excited when he learned the news, and his colleagues were worried.

What shocked me was that the scope of Mingtang's activities would not involve the scope of Carlo City, because although Carlo City was not close to the Imperial City of the Holy Spirit State, it was not far away, and Mingtang should be developing its power in a slightly more remote city, how could its tentacles extend to Carlo City this time.

The excitement is that if Mingtang can be caught or attacked, the Imperial City will definitely be rewarded, but over the years, Mingtang has been strangled many times, not only has it not been extinct but has a tendency to expand, and every time it is strangled, it will lose troops and lose generals, and the loss is not small. If you notify the imperial city to send troops to support and are afraid that there will be any accidents after a long delay, if you join forces with other cities, this credit Carlo does not want to fall into the hands of others, so he can only unite the tribes, and he has also found some masters in the competition, so Carlo feels that if they help this operation, it will be more certain.

"Mingtang is not a soft persimmon. ”

"It's a long-term thing. ”

"It's better to think carefully"

β€œ...”

Some of the tribal leaders are already starting to worry and question.

"After this success, the Imperial City will definitely reward you greatly, and when the time comes, I, Carlo, will definitely commend you to the Imperial City for your merits and deeds, and your benefits are indispensable. Carlo took the initiative to express his meaning.

The leaders are happy to hear that it is good to take it, and although it is said that it is voluntary, no one can guarantee that the position of Na Mingtang is not in their own tribal area, and if they don't help Carlo this time, they will definitely be put in small shoes in the future, and now they have benefits, they will definitely have to be a favor and agree.

When the lord of the castle said this, he saw the outside. ”

"Yes, yes, we are duty-bound to eradicate this kind of underworld and evil forces. ”

"Absolute support for the lord of the city"

"With a word from the city lord, I will destroy Mingtang"

β€œ...”

Seeing that all the leaders agreed, Carlo said to the external elders sitting below, "I will definitely have a lot of gratitude after all the friends from other states have completed the matter. ”

The external elders must be based on interests, this kind of thing the tribe agreed, but it is also necessary to let these capable people do their best, if people say no, then you can't do anything.

There are only three external elders below, Shang Buqi, and the deer-headed people of the Hundred Beast Clan still don't understand monks.

The Hundred Beasts had no objections, and Shang Buqi had nowhere to go for a while, although it seemed that this matter was not very easy, but he still had a lot of life-saving skills, and after the matter was completed, he also wanted Carlo to find a way to show him a way home, and then he didn't understand that the monk naturally looked at Shang Buqi's meaning, and he was now determined to keep up with this master.

Carlo said when he saw that all three of them also agreed.

The leaders went back to recuperate and reorganize, took their tribal elites, and set off three days later. ”
