Chapter 25: Catching the Turtle in the Urn (Part 2) - Great Power (Part 1)
Then he snorted coldly: "Some people are so impatient that they dare to come to my capital to cause trouble."
When Long Ying saw Wu Zhao expressing his feelings to him as if he were speaking to "one of his own family members," he really didn't know whether to be surprised or happy, and said, "Your Majesty has met Princess Taiping!"
Wu Zhao nodded lightly and said softly: "I met her before I came here and talked to her for more than an hour. Since she got together with Fa Ming, I rarely talk to her like this. It's all because of you that she got lost. When she returns home, she pulls back from the brink and performs meritorious service to atone for her sins. When I return to the palace later, can Mr. Long go see her on my behalf? Only Mr. Long can make her look beautiful again."
If there was anything else he could say, Long Ying replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will make her happy."
Wu Zhao smiled meaningfully and said: "If Mr. Long cannot come to do things tomorrow morning, I will never blame Mr. Long."
Long Ying thought that this "imperial edict" was indeed fragrant and suggested that he go and have fun with his daughter. Unfortunately, he would not have time to sleep tonight.
A few torches appeared in the distance on the left bank.
Longying wondered: "What is that?"
Wu Zhao didn't look at it and said nonchalantly: "They are two ten thousand regiments of our army. They will set up a strong camp on the top of a mountain ten miles away from Jing Nian Zen Monastery."
Suddenly he said: "Long Ying, you have made four great contributions to me one after another. I will punish you if you make mistakes, and reward you if you make merit. Tell me how you want me to reward you."
Long Ying's heart moved and he said: "I hope that the Holy Lord will reward me with the seven little palace maidens of Liqi Pavilion."
Wu Zhao smiled tenderly and said: "I can't believe it! Although Longying you give people the impression of being suave and merciless, in fact you are so restrained that it is unbelievable. Today I accompanied Hengkong Makino to play in Shendu Garden, and he told You declined the beauties he presented to you twice, and only accepted the blond beauty without any hesitation. And there are four female attendants in Juanqinzhai, but you didn't take any advantage of them. Now you actually want me to give you Liqi. The concubine of the pavilion, please tell me what is going on."
Long Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Can I not answer my question?"
Wu Zhao was not displeased at all, and said happily: "Giving you seven daughters is a trivial matter, so let's do it like this. It doesn't matter whether you say it or not. Can't I guess it? If other saint disciples are as generous as you With my courage, I don’t have to make my fat father-in-law resent me so much.”
Looking away, his voice turned cold and he said, "We're here!"
"Drums in the evening and bells in the morning wake up the world's wealthy and famous people,
The sound of the Buddha's call brings back the charming dreams of the sea of suffering."
Wu Zhao, Long Ying and a group of masters came to the mountain gate engraved with "Jing Nian Zen Monastery". The stone steps extended in front of them to the mountain. There was silence from far and near, and there was knee-deep snow behind them as they walked all the way. There are no footprints left by Wu Zhao.
The trees beside the stone steps are still covered with silvery white crystal ice, and snowflakes fall from the trees in the long wind, creating a wonderful scene under the bright stars and moonlight.
Long Ying thought to himself that although he did not believe in Buddhism, he felt very uncomfortable seeing such a spiritual mountain resort being occupied by evil forces.
Wu Zhao said: "You stay here for me. You are not allowed to come up without my signal. The dragon eagle will follow me."
She spread her feet like a ghost whose feet never touched the ground and swept up the long steps. Dragon Eagle hurriedly chased after her, feeling like the Empress of Middle-earth was taking the lead for him.
In the time it took to drink two or three sips of hot tea, the stone steps were all gone.
"Who is coming!"
Loud shouts sounded from above.
Wu Zhao had no intention of stopping, and the two Zen staffs swept forward, bringing strong wind. He was full of skill.
Wu Zhao didn't even look at it, and turned into a phantom that flashed left and right. The Zen staff actually hit the air. There was a sound of bones breaking, and the Zen staff fell from his hand. The two of them threw it away. With two "bang bangs", it fell at the entrance of the Zen Yuan Square.
He was killed on the spot.
Long Ying was furious, but with his magic eyes, he still couldn't fully grasp Wu Zhao's movements.
Six or seven figures came running from the direction of the bell tower.
Wu Zhao suddenly accelerated, crossing a distance of more than twenty feet without taking any time, and cut into the middle of the incoming enemies. Hissing and screaming like firecrackers, the interceptors staggered here and there, but no one was an enemy of her one move.
No one can survive.
Wu Zhao replied calmly and walked leisurely behind him.
Long Ying's scalp was numb as he chased after the empress who seemed to be moving slowly but was actually very fast. She was really angry.
The golden bronze palace appeared in front, as if embedded in the magnificent starry night. Wu Zhao climbed onto the platform square surrounded by white stone railings, and stopped about five feet in front of the statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva riding a golden lion in the middle of the square, with Manjushri Bodhisattva accompanying him on both sides.
Statues of Medicine Master and Sakyamuni.
Five hundred gold and bronze arhats are evenly distributed in the four directions of the platform square.
Wu Zhao said to Long Ying standing behind him: "Seventy-five years ago, Song Que and Ning Daoqi had a decisive battle on this white stone platform. As a result, both sides suffered losses, and the fate of the world changed as a result."
Then he said softly: "Fa Ming, get out of here!"
There was no light in the monastery, only the heavy breathing of thousands of people in the darkness. A tall figure appeared in the distance of the square. The next moment he came closer, stopped about ten feet away, put his hands together and saluted: "Little monk, Dharma
See you soon, Your Majesty."
Long Ying finally faced the monk Wang Faming, who was known as the best master of Buddhism outside Cihang Jingzhai. This man was half an inch taller than him. Regardless of his appearance and body shape, he gave people a flawless look, and the contours of his face were as delicate as ever.
It is as majestic as if it were carved out of marble by God. He looks like a Taoist monk who is illuminated by the Buddha's light. His expression is calm, as if he has seen through the illusory nature of the world. Dark brown monk's robes, yellow shoulder shawl, his eyes are shining, as clear as a mirror.
.But it is this kind of "perfection" that gives him a strange and inexplicable extraordinary temperament, full of frightening powers.
Long Ying has no grasp of his reality, and his magic power has sealed him away from prying eyes.
Wu Zhao's jade face was as calm as water, and he said calmly: "Take all your disciples and disciples and retreat to the back of the temple."
Fa Ming said "obey" and issued the order.
Until this moment, Fa Ming had not looked at Long Ying, as if he didn't exist at all, to show his contempt for him.
Wu Zhao said: "I have been patient with you for a long time, but you have made mistakes again and again. This time I am giving you a final warning. If you behave deviantly again, I will kill you with my own hands."
Faming folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name, and said humbly: "Sister, please calm down. Faming is sorry about the princess, but..."
Wu Zhao said coldly: "Shut up. I don't want to hear your excuses this time. If it weren't for the friendship between my fellow disciples and the Master's repeated instructions to Mingkong to take care of you, I would stay in the Zen Temple tonight."
Raze it to the ground. Don’t think you can escape far away for refuge. Although the world is huge, I can make you have no place to stay.”
Fa Ming sighed: "All Fa Ming's actions were carried out in accordance with the orders of his mentor and directed against our archenemy Cihang Jingzhai, including the actions tonight that made Senior Sister really angry. How could he not know that Senior Sister would not be able to get rid of him?"
Understand. No matter what!"
Wu Zhao said calmly: "I no longer have the time to listen to your nonsense. Before sunrise, you must bring all the bows, arrows and weapons hidden in the Zen Temple to the square, and then my people will search the entire temple. If any are found,
With other weapons, no one will be able to leave the monastery."
Fa Ming's expression remained unchanged as he said: "Fa Ming accepts the decree."
Wu Zhao's voice softened and he said: "I still allow you to retain the title of Monk King because I am very kind to you. I hope you will take care of yourself and cherish your last chance."
After saying that, he walked away.
When we returned to Shangyang Palace, it was still dark.
Long Ying borrowed a fast horse from the flying cavalry guard and rode straight to Taoguang Garden. After receiving the report, he went to Linhe Pavilion and sat on the other side of the platform table.
Princess Taiping's eyelids were red and swollen, and she was half-lying on a couch, covered with a thin quilt. It didn't take much guessing to know that she had not only cried once, but had not closed her eyes. She showed no reaction to the arrival of Dragon Eagle and did not make a sound. An air of indifference and arrogance.
After Gong E knew the opportunity and left, Long Ying stretched himself and said: "The princess lost!"
Princess Taiping pursed her lips tightly and made up her mind not to speak.
Long Ying chatted casually and said: "I remember my little brother and the princess bet that one day the princess will shed tears of love for me, and the princess said she'll just wait and see. Ha! Who knows the princess's eyelids are swollen from crying. Haha! It’s so refreshing!”
Princess Taiping sat upright, looked at him and cursed: "I can cry if I like, it's none of your business, you are so beautiful!"
Long Ying said with a smile: "This cry goes east and west. I know who the princess was crying for last night. But when you left Fangliyuan last night, more than a dozen pairs of eyes watched you running out with tears on your face. There were all the witnesses and physical evidence. How could it be so? You are allowed to deny it."
Princess Taiping said angrily: "Those are not tears of love, but tears of bitterness caused by your anger. Such merciless insults. I will never take back the words I have spoken. I broke up with you last night. If you rely on force, If you want someone else's body, I will never resist, but don't expect any response from me."
Long Ying laughed hoarsely and said: "Since you've cut it off with a clean slate, why do you still tempt me? If you let me do whatever you want, why should you tell me to cut him off with a clean cut?"
Princess Taiping couldn't help laughing, and returned to her charming and charming nature, saying softly: "Your ability to coax people is only second-rate, but your ability to curse is second-rate. People surrender to you in public, but you don't I don’t have a good face to show it to others. But luckily I scolded you and walked away. I observed something strange on the way back to the palace. So although what you said to scold others was very wrong, I finally told you one thing."
Long Ying said with a smile: "So my princess conducted self-reflection for the first time in her life, and realized that I have many good words of wisdom, so she corrected her mistakes immediately, for my sake..."
Princess Taiping interrupted him and said: "You are being sentimental again! How can I have the leisure to do my best for you, a hateful little bastard? It would be best for you to be killed. Once and for all, this palace will never be abused by others again. This palace is for It’s me, do you understand? You’re a damn brat.”
Long Ying said curiously: "But the direct beneficiary of your actions and consequences should be me, right?"
Princess Taiping said harshly: "I can't control who benefits, but that bastard Faming tricked me into telling you your identity, and then betrayed me to assassinate you. Of course I will betray him. This is called revenge. Do you understand? Die. Brat, brat." (To be continued)
