Chapter two hundred and thirty ninth lotus incense
Hangzhou, West Lake, now is the time when the green willows are like silk and the warm wind is blowing in the mirror. Where Su Di is lying on the waves, a delicate boat glides slowly along the long embankment for a while, and then the bow turns around, like a Spring swallows fly out from the green shade and float silently into the distance.
On the bow of the boat, there is a man with a purple gold crown in his hair, wearing a dark red python robe, and a pair of gilt cloud boots. He stands with his hands behind his back. He seems to be admiring the beautiful scenery of the world-famous West Lake. But when he sees it, he passes by it. Everywhere, light steam rises, and the faint fragrance of flowers falls. As you look around, you can see the lake rippling and the white cranes flying.
This man is none other than Ao Wuwei, the third prince of Dragon Palace, also known as Shen Changqi.
Shen/Chang Qi, designed that day, completely devoured Ao Wuwei's spiritual consciousness in the Ghost Dragon Wentian Formation jointly set up by the Black Dragon Envoy and others, obtained the true spirit dragon essence of the four real-person monks of the Dragon Clan, and successfully cultivated into a ghost in the real-person realm. The Dragon Queen left the barrier of the East China Sea Dragon Palace and, as the Third Prince Ao Wuwei, commanded the East China Sea Demon Army. First, with the secret help of the Demon Cultivator and the Ghost Cultivator, she successfully took over the forces of Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen, and then attacked from two sides. , taking advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's shrinking of his troops and battle lines, he occupied central Zhejiang. Among them, Hangzhou Prefecture also included it.
Shen/Changqi then ordered Ao Kuang to lead a naval force up the river, and ordered Ao Lisheng to lead Zhang Shicheng's Pingjiang Mansion to attack Yingtian Mansion from Zhenjiang. Ao Ji commanded Fang Guozhen's Qingyuan Mansion to attack Zhejiang General Southwest. . He took Ao Qing and stationed in Hangzhou Prefecture, commanding from the center. Shali Mi, Haisheng Meng and others led the army to Yangzhou in the north of the Yangtze River.
When the righteous monks of Lushan Mountain came down one after another, the Dragon King Ao Bai passed down the decree at Yin Gang Peak, ordering the East China Sea Demon Army not to advance rashly and to plan for it slowly. After receiving the news and orders, Shen/Chang Qi and others slowed down the offensive and began to fight steadily. On the one hand, it is to consolidate the occupied area and eliminate the resistance forces in various places, especially those Buddhist and Taoist sects and the rural princes led by Confucian scholars; on the other hand, it is to establish order, attract talents, and strengthen the forces of demon cultivators. Here, It also involves secret "partitioning" with demon cultivators and ghost cultivators.
For example, when wiping out a village army, all the innocent souls must be absorbed by ghost cultivators. When attacking a Buddhist temple or Taoist temple, whatever magic weapons and treasures are there, the accompanying demon cultivators and ghost cultivators must also share some of them. If you find people who are suitable for spiritual practice, and those who are suitable for practicing demonic arts or ghost methods, you should also allow them to join the demon gate and the ghost path as appropriate.
Therefore, the situation in Jiangnan as a whole has calmed down a bit.
During this period, Shen/Changqi quickly drafted a charter by referring to the system of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, following the organization of the East China Sea Demon Army, and combining what he had learned throughout his life with the ruling system of the human world.
Order various places to repair the Dragon King Temple, with the Dragon King Temple as the highest local governance center. The original government office remained unchanged, but became a pure executive agency; the mortal army was stationed by monks, and the original general Sasuda obeyed the orders of the monks. .At the same time, it is stipulated that monks are not allowed to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
In this way, for ordinary people in the world, except that they must visit the Dragon King Temple regularly and must not be disrespectful to the monks, there is almost no difference from before. Therefore, order was quickly restored. As for Demonic cultivators and ghost cultivators have a hierarchical council of elders. All matters of the three sects are negotiated and resolved in this council of elders.
After that, Shen/Changqi had some free time, so he went to the West Lake for a trip today.
West Lake, at this period, already had many scenic spots. Shen/Changqi had heard about it when he was studying behind closed doors in Zhoushan. He wanted to come and have a look several times, but was unable to do so because of the war in the late Yuan Dynasty. Why? , although Zhoushan and Hangzhou are relatively close, they hardly belong to the same sphere of influence.
At the beginning, Fang Guozhen was the first to revolt and captured Zhoushan, when Hangzhou Prefecture was still in the hands of the Yuan army. After Fang Guozhen, although Hangzhou Prefecture had been captured, at that time, the East China Sea Demon Alliance used force to force Fang Guozhen back, but Zhoushan fell into the hands of Zhang Shicheng again. . Later, Hangzhou Prefecture was occupied by Zhu Yuanzhang, and Fang Guozhen retreated to Qingyuan Prefecture (today's Ningbo) in the middle. Zhoushan, Qingyuan, and Hangzhou Prefecture belonged to the three parties respectively.
But I didn't expect that today, as the third prince of Dragon Palace, I would make a decisive killing move to make it happen!
Shen/Chang Qi was full of ambition and high spirits. After looking at it for a while, the beautiful scenery of the West Lake was in full view. He shook his head slightly, and occasionally a light appeared when he opened and closed his eyes. Shen/Chang Qi then chanted, "I have heard for a long time that the West Lake is like the West Lake. It’s been a long time since I finished reading the poem. I’ll wait until I slay the dragon and emerge from the blue sea, and the beautiful scenery will be at the right time.”
With a clang, a boy behind him shook his hand and dropped the jade plate containing fragrant tea onto the ship's deck.
The person dressed as a young servant is naturally the palace guard of the Third Prince of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea. Following Shen/Chang Qi, he is naturally a first-class expert. However, he suddenly heard the word "slaying the dragon" and was shocked. Kong's powerful hands could not control it.
Shen/Chang Qi slowly turned around.
The two guards who were accompanying him immediately fell to their knees on the ground, their faces pale.
Shen/Chang Qi smiled. The water mist around the boat became thicker and the fragrance of flowers became stronger.
"Flowers penetrate the heavy mist, and the waves are full of incense. Ghosts and dragons are also romantic, and beauties accompany the king." Shen/Changqi was in the mist and fragrance of flowers, his body was slim, and his voice was long, reaching the Su Embankment, "Hurry up and prepare a flower." Using tools, I have sent people to welcome my beloved concubine to come and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the West Lake."
On the embankment, several people responded and left in a hurry.
Shen/Chang Qi, alone, stood on the boat, leisurely, gradually disappearing into the depths of the lake with the rising mist and the falling fragrance of flowers.
The second day, Hangzhou, Lingyin Temple, outside the mountain gate. Shen Changqi and Miyuki Nakajima were in front, walking along the cool stone path among the towering ancient woods. Behind them, followed by two rows of maids, Two rows of guards held their breath and kept silent.
The third prince, enjoying his beauty while traveling around the lake, hurriedly ordered his two guards to go back and fetch his most beloved concubine, Miyuki Nakajima. Early in the morning, the two of them held hands side by side, intertwined their fingers, and lingered over each other. After visiting the West Lake, we took advantage of the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains, and the boundless wind and moon, and walked towards Lingyin Temple by the West Lake.
Whether it was the maids brought by Shima Miyukiko or the guards in the Third Prince's army, they were all sensible and fell behind intentionally or unintentionally.
"Mr. Shen, you are so anxious to call Miyuki over now. What's the important matter?" Miyuki Nakajima asked in a low voice while looking at the stone carving on Feilai Peak opposite. Shen/Changqi has placed dragon clan-specific restrictions around the area, but Nakajima Miyukiko is not afraid of anyone being able to spy on her.
Shen/Chang Qi told the story about the poem he recited yesterday that contained the word "dragon slaying" and alarmed the guards of the East China Sea Dragon Palace.
Nakajima Miyukiko listened carefully and said, "Shen Jun, although you have completely devoured the third prince's consciousness, you must be extremely careful with your words. Miyukiko, during this time in the East China Sea Dragon Palace, was also very cautious. , for fear of exposing flaws.”
Shen/Chang Qi smiled and said, "That's why I brought you to my side. When two people are together and remind each other, even if something goes wrong, it can easily be covered up and changed."
Nakajima Miyukiko suddenly stopped and looked at Shen Changqi. After a moment, she said quietly, "I regret that I had to force Shen Jun and Miyukiko to cast a life-and-death curse. Now, it has dragged you down, Shen Jun. .”
Shen/Changqi lowered his head and kissed Miyuki Nakajima's lips.
The maids and guards at the back quickly turned their heads slightly.
Shen Changqi and Nakajima Miyuki, leaning against each other, stepped into Lingyin Temple. The maids and guards who had fallen behind intentionally or unintentionally were already a hundred meters away.
Lingyin Temple has become an "ordinary" temple since its abbot, Master Lingyin, led the accomplished monks in the temple to Lushan Mountain. For such a place of Buddhism and Taoism, even some Confucian bookstores The hall, demon cultivators, demon cultivators, and ghost cultivators all have a consensus. The Dragon King and others have also issued instructions for a long time. As long as they do not resist in person, they will let it go. This is what is called, leaving a line in everything so that we can meet each other in the future. This is Monks are not exempt from the secular world and must be scrupulous about it.
Shen Changqi and Nakajima Miyuki, this time, even ordered the guards to stop outside the temple, and only brought a few ordinary maids with them to visit the temple as ordinary tourists.
After visiting the temple, it is natural to think of Wuxu.
When Miyuki Nakajima asked, Shen Changqi shook his head, "According to inquiries, after Master Wuxu accidentally appeared in Taihu Lake, there was no news again, and he did not go to Yingtian Mansion. It is estimated that Master Wuxu went to Lushan Mountain."
"Lushan?" Miyuki Nakajima also knew about Lushan at this moment. Hearing what Shen Changqi said, she asked, "When will Shen Jun go to Lushan?"
Shen/Chang Qi shook his head, "I haven't thought about it yet. We can't do it now. We must first establish a kingdom in the world and gain some luck." Then he smiled and said, "You still want to be the Queen of Japan." "
Miyuki Nakajima smiled sweetly, and then an extremely shy look appeared on her face. After a while, she said coyly, "She is the queen, and she is also Shen Jun's woman."
Shen Changqi hugged Nakajima Miyuki and whispered, "This is the way of a monarch and his ministers, the way of a husband."
Miyuki Nakajima's face turned red as she listened, and she hummed softly, weakly, and leaned weakly on Shen/Changqi's shoulder. Like the lotus roots of the West Lake, they stood tall and graceful, and like the light fragrance in the lake, they were faint and bone-piercing.
After entering the Main Hall, the two of them were demon cultivators from the East China Sea Dragon Clan. Naturally, they would not bow down to the Three Saints of Huayan in the palace. However, they solemnly performed the courtesy of junior monks and gave up a lot of incense money before going out.
At this time, a guard hurriedly ran over, presented an urgent military document, and then hurriedly retreated.
Shen/Changqi, after reading it, handed it to Miyuki Nakajima. After reading it, Miyuki Nakajima said in a low voice, "The White Lotus Sect is from the lineage of Master Wuxu. You and I must be both emotional and rational. Open one side of the net and take care of it."
Shen/Chang Qi snorted angrily, "I have already hinted that Ao Lisheng would be so bold. It seems that I have to send Ao Qing to restrain him."
Song Zhaoyi led the White Lotus Sect, with a total of more than 5,000 people. They were killed by Ao Lisheng's demon cultivator and Sergeant Zhang Shicheng between Qixia Mountain and Zhenjiang Prefecture, leaving no armor and no bones left.
This is the first tentative collision between the East China Sea Demon Army and Yingtian Mansion. The result is this.
The East China Sea Monster Army is naturally excited and everyone is gearing up. The Yingtianfu Rebel Army is naturally angry and everyone is gearing up.
But what their respective senior leaders think is another matter.
On the East China Sea Monster Army side, although Ao Lisheng knows that the White Lotus Sect is from Wuxu's lineage, but what if Wuxu once saved the third prince and the ninth prince? I can treat you with courtesy, but the people below you, since
If they appear in front of the two armies, they will be killed without fail.
On the side of Yingtian Mansion, the Taoist Confucian sect looked at them coldly, but some people under Zhu Yuanzhang were happy and panicked in their hearts. What they were happy about was that the White Lotus Sect, which could not lose its tail, had to suffer such losses and beatings; what was panicking was that the enemy army
It’s so powerful!
Buddhist monks such as Master Hongzhi and Master Xingyuan are neither happy nor sad, because in their eyes, the White Lotus Sect is actually an alternative and is not actually part of the Buddhist lineage.
Zhu Yuanzhang himself did not think about food and tea in Prince Wu's Mansion and could not sleep at night. He also sent Li Wenzhong to Jiming Temple to send flowers and gifts. He shed tears of grief and pain.
Wuxu, who slowly landed in front of the gate of Jiuhua Mountain, couldn't help but feel heartache for no reason. At that moment, he could hardly stand upright. Duoji, who was beside him, supported Wuxu and sighed, "In the direction of Yingtian Mansion, the blood is blazing.
Don't tell me, junior brother, that you are like this. Even senior brother, I am still worried, fearing that the war will not go well."
Wuxu and Duoji each inspired a Jade Talisman of Preface.
After a while, Wuxu learned from He Qifeng's message that Yingtian Mansion, the righteous monks gathered, Shi Hai was beaten into the Qinhuai River by Guo Min, and then Song Zhaoyi led the White Lotus Sect, with a total of more than 5,000 people.
After fighting bloody battles, the entire army was wiped out under the cold eyes of others.
The righteous monks who came down from Lushan looked coldly and sat idly by. Song Zhaoyi and several elders, with almost 100% of the White Lotus Sect's troops, died on the battlefield, with almost no survivors. After their deaths, the wronged souls were even more killed by the opponent.
Ghost cultivators, absorb and refine them all.
After realizing the truth, he couldn't help but put his palms together and said sadly, "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva has made a great vow, saying that hell will not be empty and vowing not to be a Buddha. Now, after the white lotus sect of Hualien Miaofa Sect is killed by heretics, their souls are also
Be absorbed and refined. I only hope that the Bodhisattva’s great compassion, great magic power, and great merits will save him.”
Dorje was also performing rituals and chanting the Buddha's name.
The sound was slow and sharp, spreading throughout the Jiuhua Mountains.
Jiuhua Mountain is as motionless as the earth, and as deep as the sea is the Dharma.
Wuxu and Duoji tied their hands inside, raised their middle fingers facing each other, formed the root seal of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva with their hands, recited the mantra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and walked step by step towards the gate of Jiuhua Mountain and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's dojo.
As the saying goes
The beautiful scenery of the West Lake can be seen endlessly, the lakes and mountains are so beautiful that they wrap around your fingers.
Even if the body dies and the soul is scattered, there is still a fragrance hidden in the heart.
