Chapter 183 Fake Death
Li Muchan said: "Ninth Miss, do you recognize her?"
Dugu Jinghua stared at him with a solemn expression: "What's wrong with this arrow?"
Li Muchan thought for a while and said: "It's so fast, it's as fast as lightning, and it makes people feel trance-like. It's already hitting them before they can dodge."
"It shouldn't be wrong..." Dugu Jinghua shook his head and sighed, and said with a wry smile: "The God-Breaking Arrow is the only one in the world."
Li Muchan frowned and said, "Is he really a great master?"
"Yes." Dugu Jinghua looked solemn and nodded slowly: "The Tianlong Guard's unique hidden weapon, the Tianlong Guard is one of the four royal guards."
Li Muchan shook his head and laughed: "It's really interesting that a master from the inner circle jumps out!"
Tang Tianming said with some gloating: "Li Wuji, you still don't know how powerful the Tianlong Guard is, right?"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "I just fought against them, what do you think?"
Tang Tianming shut up angrily and hummed: "If you can escape this time, you may not be so lucky next time!"
Li Muchan looked at him with a smile, which made Tang Tianming feel cold and quickly turned his head.
Tang Tang gave Tang Tianming a stern look. This elder brother really took the wrong medicine. He blindly offended others and deserved to be taught a lesson. He was just spoiled by his father!
Li Muchan sighed and said helplessly: "I almost failed this time. Four Heavenly Dragon Guards, plus four eminent monks, it's really..."
He now understood why he couldn't sense danger, but it was covered by these four eminent monks. They carried holy weapons and suppressed the world without being sensed by him.
"How old is this eminent monk?" Dugu Jinghua asked.
Li Muchan said: "It's almost the same as the four holy monks from your four great families."
Dugu Jinghua's face was gloomy, he glanced at everyone and sighed: "Some words cannot be spread, just listen to them!"
Tang Tang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, aunt, we won't talk nonsense."
As she spoke, she glanced at Tang Tianming. Tang Tianming snorted, secretly scolding the girl for being outgoing, and raised his finger and swore to the sky: "I will never talk nonsense, otherwise the sky will strike me with thunder and I will die!"
Dugu Jinghua nodded with satisfaction and said: "It seems that it was the order given by the Holy One himself."
Li Muchan pondered: "Is it because of those four eminent monks?"
Dugu Jinghua sighed: "No eminent monks will come out without an order from the Holy One. These eminent monks usually practice in Tianwang Temple and do not see outsiders."
"Tianwang Temple?" Li Muchan smiled and said, "Is it the Tianwang Temple outside the city?"
He was interested in Buddhism, so when he inquired about the famous sites and ancient attractions in Tianjing City, he focused on Buddhism. Although Buddhism remained hidden from the world, there was a Tianwang Temple in the south of the city.
The Tennoji Temple is very popular, but unfortunately they are all ordinary monks who do not practice martial arts. They are purely Buddhist disciples who chant sutras and cultivate their minds, and are not involved in martial arts.
Dugu Jinghua said: "There are two Tianwang Temples, one inside the palace and one outside the palace. Most people don't know the secret of Tianwang Temple. The monks of Tianwang Temple in the palace are all the top monks. They have profound Buddhist teachings and vast supernatural powers. They are favored by the emperor and his concubines.
The concubines provided support, and the Tennoji Temple outside the palace received support from high-ranking officials and nobles."
Li Muchan pondered and said, "Is there something strange about the Tianwang Temple outside the city?"
"What most people can see are ordinary monks who are not involved in martial arts. They are disciples of the outer courtyard. The disciples of the inner courtyard are all great monks who practice magical powers." Dugu Jinghua said.
Tang Tianming's eyes widened: "Really?"
Dugu Jinghua said: "In a few years, when you take over as the head of the family, you will naturally know this."
Tang Tianming touched his nose and closed his mouth. These words were extremely irritating. He clearly told him that he was not qualified to know this and was not on the same level as her.
Dugu Heng said: "It turns out there is such a mystery, I really didn't pay attention to it."
"Tennoji..." Li Muchan murmured to himself.
Dugu Jinghua said: "Sir, please don't try to explore the reality of Tianwang Temple. If you go in, you won't be able to get out. We have sent people there, even top experts, but unfortunately there is no trace. They all disappeared."
"Monks are compassionate, but they will kill people?" Li Muchan said with a smile.
Dugu Jinghua showed a sneer: "Although Buddhism forbids killing, it does not avoid subduing demons. Those who hinder the right path are demons. If you get rid of them, get rid of them."
Li Muchan shook his head and said: "These monks should not be underestimated. What do the four holy monks in the house usually do?"
"The small courtyard where the four holy monks are located is a forbidden area. Outsiders are not allowed to enter." Dugu Heng said bitterly: "Even I am not allowed to enter."
Dugu Jinghua said: "The four holy monks have always guarded the iron heart of loyalty. No one is allowed to approach. They can only be asked to take action at a critical moment of life and death."
Li Muchan said: "Ninth Miss, don't you know their details?"
Dugu Jinghua shook his head: "They are ascetics. I have been in seclusion for a whole year and I haven't seen them a few times."
"...Forget it." Li Muchan waved his hand and said helplessly: "I will be more careful next time. The Zhu family is very capable if they can recruit the Tianlong Guard!"
Dugu Jinghua frowned and said: "It is probably Concubine Zhu's handiwork again. She is becoming more and more favored. I don't know what the Lord meant by this move. Is it a warning to our Dugu family?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Is it because he protected me that the Holy One is dissatisfied?"
Dugu Jinghua pondered and said: "The Holy Lord never acts with only one meaning. On the surface, it seems that he loves Concubine Zhu, so he sent people out to accommodate her. There must be a deep meaning behind it."
Li Muchan said: "Perhaps it is to show kindness to the four major aristocratic families and not to want others to threaten the four major aristocratic families?"
Dugu Jinghua shook his head: "Your Majesty, I wish someone would destroy the four great families!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "That may not happen. Your existence can stabilize the world's martial arts. Once you are gone, the world's martial arts will inevitably be in turmoil. This may not be what he wants."
"Alas..., this sage's behavior is unpredictable." Dugu Jinghua shook his head and said: "Sometimes he is absurd, and then he is shrewd, making it difficult for people to guard against him."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "This is the clever part, it's unpredictable,...Okay, since I know they are Tianlong Guards, let this matter go and just pretend it didn't happen."
"Sir, can you swallow this breath?" Dugu Jinghua pursed his lips and smiled.
After spending these days together, she could vaguely see Li Muchan's character, which was gentle and open-minded. He would not care about trivial matters, but he was not someone who could be bullied.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "The emperor is the boss. What can I do? If I really pissed him off, I would send out one hundred and eighty Tianlong Guards and one hundred and eighty eminent monks. I really can't escape."
Once a high-ranking monk is sent out with a holy weapon in his possession, he will be classified as a master. One hundred and eighty Tianlong Guards will really be unable to deal with it. This God-breaking Arrow is too evil.
It was getting late, Tang Tianming urged, Tang Tang was reluctant to leave, but had no choice but to leave. Dugu Heng wished he could stay with her for just a moment longer, so he sent them back. Dugu Jinghua had no choice but to send more people to follow him.
.
Only Li Muchan, Feng Mingxue, and Dugu Jinghua were left in the small pavilion. The three of them sat quietly at the round table, looking at the red brocade-like lake outside, silent.
The setting sun dyed the lake surface bright red, and everything around it was dyed red, including red mountains and red water.
Li Muchan picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said, "Miss Ninth, just tell me what you want to say."
Dugu Jinghua sighed, with a heavy expression on his face, and said slowly: "Sir, since the Lord has intervened in this matter, it has become a big deal. Sir, you should think of a way out."
"Will the emperor kill me?" Li Muchan said.
Dugu Jinghua shook his head and sighed: "Sir, you don't know the emperor's temperament. He is most proud and stubborn. Once he makes up his mind to send the Tianlong Guard to kill you, he will feel shameless if he fails to kill you. How can the emperor lose his face? He insists on killing you.
You can’t.”
Li Muchan frowned and said, "Is there a way to solve it?"
Dugu Jinghua thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I only thought of a way to fake death."
"Fake death to escape, golden cicada escapes from the shell?" Li Muchan thought for a moment and shook his head: "I can't hide it for long, I can't just walk away and really wander around the world!"
Feng Mingxue's expression changed, becoming serious and solemn.
Dugu Jinghua said: "The Holy One will never let you live!"
Li Muchan said: "If you can't change his mind, no one can speak?"
"There is no way." Dugu Jinghua shook his head and sighed: "Even if you know it is wrong, the Holy One will persist to the end, and Concubine Zhu is here..."
Li Muchan laughed, turned to Feng Mingxue and said, "Senior sister, it seems that we are really in big trouble."
"Junior brother, you'd better hide!" Feng Mingxue's face was sullen, she was not in the mood to laugh.
Li Muchan shook his head and said with a smile: "There's no rush!... Since Your Majesty is like this, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Sir, you must not force yourself!" Dugu Jinghua said hurriedly: "It will never end well if you go against the Holy Master. There are so many masters in the field that no sect can be your opponent."
Li Muchan frowned and said, "I'm just worried that I'll implicate the sect..."
He has great teleportation skills, so it is difficult to catch him, but if he escapes, the monk cannot escape the temple. Once the emperor cannot catch him, and becomes angry and vents it on the Yunxiao Sect, then his sin will be great!
"The only way to escape is by feigning death," Dugu Jinghua said.
Li Muchan asked: "What's the magic trick?"
Dugu Jinghua muttered: "Find someone to pretend to be Mr. and then spread the news. Mr. died of serious injuries and was found in the wild. His body was destroyed by evil wolves."
"Can you hide it from the emperor?" Li Muchan shook his head.
Dugu Jinghua said: "Leave it to me, I will find a way."
Li Muchan smiled: "No wonder the emperor is worried about the four great families. It seems he can hide it, but the emperor is also suspicious, right?"
Dugu Jinghua laughed and said: "If we can't catch Painjiao, there's nothing he can do but we can't!"
Li Muchan frowned: "Since the emperor has such strength, why can't he deal with your four major families? The cultivation of those Tianlong Guards is astonishing, no less than the masters of the four major families."
Dugu Jinghua smiled sweetly: "He can take care of one family, but he can't take care of four families. Once he really takes action, the four major families will never stop!"
"So what if you don't restrain your hands?" Li Muchan raised his eyebrows.
