Chapter 386: The Emperor was angry and the Buddha was banned in the world (two-in-one)
“Okay, I’ll go...”
With a burst of panic, a palace maid immediately ran around , ran towards the imperial study, and others went to look for the imperial physician.
The remaining female officials crouched on the ground and helped Zhao Duan up, who was covered in blood and almost fainting. They waited for the palace guards to arrive, and together they sent Zhao Duan to the nearest house.
A few moments.
When Empress Dayu was notified, Feng Feng Huo Huo followed the guidance and arrived outside the door. The ladies gathered here saluted in unison: "Your Majesty!"
There was no smile on Xu Zhenguan's plain face, although she tried her best. He maintained his composure, but could not hide his obviously nervous look.
"Master Zhao is in the room?"
"Yes, the servants and others have invited the imperial doctor inside..."
Xu Zhenguan did not wait for the servant to finish speaking, Already wrapped in the cold winter wind, he pushed open the door.
"Woo..."
The cold wind blew in from behind her and instantly poured into the antique bedroom.
In the room, an elderly imperial doctor was standing beside the bed, surrounded by several eunuchs and palace maids. Some were holding blood-stained and tattered clothes in their hands, while others were holding bottles full of blood. Copper basin.
“Your Majesty!” Everyone was shocked when they saw the empress breaking in.
Xu Zhenguan ignored everyone, lifted up his skirt, and rushed straight to the bed. After getting around the shadows of the figures, he finally saw Zhao Duan lying on the bed.
His clothes have been taken off, and the blood has been wiped off the exposed skin. The rest of the area is fine, except for the chest area, which is all bloody.
Silver needles are inserted into various meridians and acupuncture points on the body.
"See Your Majesty." The old doctor turned around and saluted.
Xu Zhenguan's face was as cold as frost, and he looked at the unconscious Zhao Duan: "How is the situation?"
The old doctor said happily:
"Your Majesty, please relax. Mr. Zhao is not in danger of his life, and he has not been injured at all. It is just an external injury. But it is only a little bit worse. If Mr. Zhao hadn't been wearing a treasure armor and withstood most of the injuries, otherwise..."
Next to him, a eunuch held the "Six Talisman Treasure Armor", which was regarded as a treasure by Emperor Wu City. At this moment, the entire armor was sunken inward, and a palm print was faintly visible.
Xu Zhenguan let out a silent breath, and when he suddenly learned the bad news, his chaotic mind was calmed down.
She walked forward silently, not caring about whether men and women were intimate or not. She raised her bright wrist and pressed her delicate hand between Zhao Duan's eyebrows.
Then the consciousness carefully scanned his whole body, and after confirming that the injury was within the treatable range, the tense heartstrings were truly relieved.
"Come here, go to the palace medicine storehouse to get medicine for wounds, both inside and outside."
"You all go out, I will personally regulate Zhao Qing's meridians and qi."
" Send the order to block the news, and anyone who knows about it will be banned."
Xu Zhenguan issued several orders, and everyone agreed and vacated the room.
Waiting for the door to close, Xu Zhenguan pulled up a round stool, sat by the window, held Zhao Duan's hand, closed his eyes and entered the Qi machine.
Use your own cultivation to help him repair his disturbed Qi.
As waves of energy flowed in, the silver needles on Zhao Duan's body also glowed. About two-quarters of an hour later, the servants brought in medicine and then evacuated.
I dare not disturb His Majesty from treating Mr. Zhao.
After another quarter of an hour, Zhao Duan finally slowly opened his eyelids and saw himself lying on the bed.
The hanging curtain above his head caused bursts of physical pain in his body. He subconsciously grinned and inhaled in pain, but felt a soft touch on his palms.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the mortal fairy sitting by the window, looking like she was meditating with her eyes closed. He forcefully suppressed his desire to inhale.
Zhenbao?
It’s not a dream, it’s a living, warm treasure... Zhao Duan blinked his big eyes silently.
He was not really in a coma. Although he was unconscious before, he vaguely knew that he seemed to be carried into the house by a group of eunuchs and maids. He seemed to have heard the voice of the empress, but he was so confused that he could not distinguish it. Authenticity.
Now that he saw that cold and stunning face that no woman in the world could match, he finally confirmed:
"Did I successfully teleport back to the capital? Hiss... Fortunately, fortunately, I was lucky enough to stuff the teleportation gem into the six-talisman armor, which saved my life at the critical moment... Well, it's also fortunate that the sneak attack assassin didn't hit me. Headshot..."
"Wait... the assassin..."
The chaotic thoughts gradually became clearer, and in Zhao Duan's mind, the scene of his assassination on the shore of the dock gradually became clear.
Intelligence of the shadow guard...a small boat with a black awning...a bald head emerging from the crowd...
"Gathering Master...Why, the Great Purification Master of Shenlong Temple would Ambush and assassinate me? Isn’t one Nagarjuna enough?”
Zhao Duan couldn't figure out the logic of the other party's behavior, it was weird from the inside out.
But...
It doesn’t matter anymore. What matters is that he has escaped from danger and returned to the safest Dayu Palace, with the empress by his side.
He has a backer to protect him from the wind and rain.
While his thoughts were floating around, he did not dare to move for fear of waking up the empress. He just turned his head slightly and stared quietly at the empress's beautiful face.
Just like when I was tired in my previous life, I lay in bed and looked at my cat, and I felt very happy.
“Have you seen enough?” Xu Zhenguan said suddenly with his eyes closed.
"No...ah, no...Your Majesty, are you awake?"
Zhao Duan was startled and looked into Xu Zhenguan's open eyes, which were filled with anger and joy.
He was a little embarrassed, and also a little proud for no reason, and he laughed awkwardly, which was rare.
Xu Zhenguan glared at him angrily, but he was not really angry at all. He was just helpless that this guy was injured all over and still wanted to talk to him.
Are all men like this?
After all, the joy in his heart was greater than anything else. Only now did Xu Zhenguan have the mind to recall his emotional changes in less than an hour.
The emperor, who should have been majestic and indifferent, was somehow affected by a mere minister. When he learned from the palace maid that "Master Zhao is going to die," his mind went blank.
I rushed to the room and saw his trembling fingertips when he was unconscious and stained with blood, and the anger and regret that surged in his heart for no reason... I regretted why I sent him out and asked him to go out to train. Was it a mistake? The decision...
Also, this guy just woke up and was not honest, and he felt relieved... These complex emotions seemed to have exceeded the boundaries of a monarch and a minister.
Just like these days, she keeps saying that she is concerned about the opening of the market, but how much she cares about the opening of the market, and how much she cares about Zhao Duan, who has not received any news for a long time, is something she cannot tell clearly. matter.
However, the determined female emperor only paused for a moment in the inexplicable emotions, and then forcibly cut off those thoughts and restored the image of a cold and majestic emperor.
She sneered and said: "Yes, are you unhappy that I'm awake?"
Zhao Duan exclaimed:
"What are you talking about? I'm just... just... injured and can't stand up to salute..."
Xu Zhenguan smiled dangerously:
"Oh? Really? , Then why don't you let go?"
"..." Zhao Duan then retracted the big hand that was holding the empress's little hand: "Is this..."
" Well, the Six Talisman Armor saved your life. Although you didn’t hurt the root, you couldn’t keep up with the talk. Don’t talk nonsense. Who on earth hurt you!”
Xu Zhenguan rudely interrupted his nonsense, got straight to the point, and stared at him seriously.
Zhao Duan was silent for a while, stopped joking, and wanted to get up, but after trying it he found that he had no strength, so he had to lie down on the bed and said seriously:
"I am about to ask your Majesty Reporting on the progress of Huting. Chen and others have fulfilled their mission and the opening of the market was a complete success."
A complete success!
Hearing this news that should have made him extremely happy and happy for Long Yan, Xu Zhenguan found that he was not as happy as he expected.
She said calmly: "What I'm asking is, who hurt you?"
Zhao Duan said helplessly:
"This matter is a bit complicated. I'm thinking about it. I have to figure it out first. I will tell you all the causes and consequences before I can make a correct judgment."
"Let him go quickly." Xu Zhenguan was made to lose his temper by his appearance. He obviously wanted to support him immediately, but this guy turned out to be a loser. Instead, he looked unhurried.
Why are the ministers not anxious and the emperor anxious?
Zhao Duan organized his speech and then said slowly:
"There were no accidents on the way south for the ministers and his party. Only when they were about to land ashore, they encountered Xu Jinglong and Duan Shuiliu, who was from Emperor Wu City. I will intercept him..."
He first recounted what happened on the river, and then a series of experiences after he landed ashore, including meeting King Jing and King Huai'an.
The empress listened quietly all the time without interrupting. After listening to King Huai'an's part, she was slightly surprised:
"So, King Huai'an wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ? Let’s see which one of you wins and support me?”
"Yes," Zhao Duan nodded and said seriously, "After I understood this meaning, I waited for Prince Jing to make a move until I went to Yansuo Lake..."
This is the highlight, Zhao Du An described it more carefully, including his own initiative to fish, his thoughts on taking the princess with him, etc., all of which were explained.
When he heard about Duan Shuishui, Qi Yuchun, and the killers suspected of being arranged by Prince Jing’s Mansion, Xu Zhenguan’s eyes were as sharp as a blade.
After hearing that Zhao Duan killed the archer but was kidnapped by the princess, Xu Zhenguan changed his expression again:
"Princess Lu is a worldly realm warlock? So, you are Was he injured by her and sent back? No...no, the time is wrong..."
She couldn't figure out how Zhao Duan broke the situation.
It wasn't until Zhao Duan revealed that Lu Yan'er was actually a descendant of Pei Niannu's lineage that the empress' face showed surprise and surprise.
She knew that Zhao Duan visualized Pei Niannu in the Six Chapters Sutra.
However, the empress was still stunned by the fact that Zhao Duan actually carried out a "divine descent" with a middle-level cultivation level of the divine seal, and used the inheritance system to suppress, defeat and instigate the princess.
All this is beyond imagination. But if you think about it carefully, it's all logical.
"So, not only did you not suffer any injuries, but you also arranged for the princess to be a spy for the court?" Xu Zhenguan's expression was extremely strange.
Zhao Duan was also very proud of his operation:
"Yes. As for the rest of the matter, it will be much smoother. After I return, I will take those assassins and kill them. At the expense of Prince Jing, Prince Huai'an took action as promised, and the opening of the market was completed naturally."
The empress digested it quietly for a while. She imagined that Zhao Duan could complete this task, but she did not expect that he would. So well done.
However, compared to the results of the opening of the market, she was more confused:
"That being the case, how did you get injured?"
Logically speaking, the opening of the market has come to an end, and there is a spy around King Jing. Is it really just for revenge that he organized the second assassination? It's a bit unreasonable...
Zhao Duan breathed a sigh of relief and finally told what happened when he was attacked by the Great Purification Master on his way home.
After hearing this result, the empress Rao Shi had already made many guesses, but she was still stunned.
Nagarjuna Bodhisattva was suspected of participating in the war, but was stopped by the little heavenly master.
The great master ambushed and attacked, but Eunuch Hai was too late to rescue him.
"Shenlong Temple... What a Shenlong Temple, but it's actually Shenlong Temple!?"
Xu Zhenguan's jade face was frosted, and his beautiful eyes were evil. He stood up suddenly, "These bald guys Donkey, you dare to assassinate the imperial official. It seems that my beating last time was not enough."
As she said, she suddenly glanced at Zhao Duan and said:
"You are in the palace. I’m going to go out to recover.”
With that said, he turned around and walked out.
"Your Majesty, please wait!"
Zhao Duan became anxious, raised his body riddled with holes, grabbed the empress's little hand, and said in a serious tone:
"Your Majesty, please do not act impulsively. I feel that this matter is quite fishy."
As the person who was attacked, Zhao Duan was of course very angry at Shenlong Temple. But he also knew that anger could not solve the problem. The reason why he talked about it and told the cause and effect was to let the empress realize that there was something weird about this matter.
However, Xu Zhenguan just looked down at him calmly and said:
"I know what you mean. This matter may be as you think. There is indeed something fishy, and some people even deliberately borrowed the knife. But that’s not important.”
Zhao Duan was startled.
Xu Zhen looked at him, broke away from his hand, and said:
"Recuperate in peace, I will go and vent your anger."
"Your Majesty..."
...
...
Xu Zhenguan stepped out of the room Instantly, the biting winter wind blew on her face.
She also regained her majesty and grace, plus a hint of undisguised anger.
“Your Majesty!”
A group of people waiting outside the door saluted at the same time, and Mochou had also rushed over and was among them.
It was about noon, but there was a gray cloud in the sky above the capital. The sky was pale, everything was dead and quiet, and there was only desolation.
Xu Zhenguan said coldly:
"According to my decree, five guards of the Imperial City Imperial Army were dispatched to blockade Shenlong Temple and Jizhao Temple."
"According to my decree, the Ministry of Rites drew up a clockwork to ban all worship of Buddhas in the city from now on. Inform all prefectures and cooperate with the capital. For example, within two months, Buddhism will be banned in the world. "
"According to my decree, the Ministry of Punishment issued a sea arrest document and informed the military guards in various places that the criminal monk Great Pure Master of Shenlong Temple was wanted."
"Pass on my will..."
In the cold wind, the oral orders were promulgated one after another. All the female officials outside the door were shocked and looked horrified. Mochou stared blankly at the empress who was suppressing her anger, and wanted to say What, but was too frightened to speak.
"My slave obeys the order..."
Finally, Mochou took a deep breath, suppressed the huge shock in her heart, and quickly went to do things according to the order. Her steps were almost trotting, and she knew in her heart:
Something big happened. .
After promulgating the imperial edicts one after another, Xu Zhenguan left everyone behind and walked towards the Meridian Gate Square alone.
In the silent palace, the empress was dressed in white, like the only snow in the winter.
She suddenly raised her hand and waved.
In the direction of the Ancestral Temple of the Imperial Palace, in the main hall where the ancestral tablets are displayed, a sword box suddenly opens on the table where the incense candles are kept.
Emperor Taizu once wore a sword, the Tai'a sword that Zhao Duan once summoned in the Buddhist and Taoist competition.
A sudden buzzing and trembling.
Then, Tai'a Sword suddenly jumped out of the sword box, swept out of the hall, turned into a ray of golden light and flew out of the Ancestral Temple, and handed itself into Xu Zhenguan's slender jade hands.
Xu Zhenguan held a sword in her hand, her invisible aura rising, and waves of almost invisible dragon energy swirled around her.
The empress suddenly took a step forward.
In an instant.
She left the palace and appeared above the Shenlong Temple in the capital.
Xu Zhenguan looked down at the Buddhist temple complex below, and could vaguely hear the chanting of sutras in the temple, as well as the curling of incense candles and fireworks.
There was indifference in her eyes, and she held a sword in her hand, pointing at the main hall of the temple. Then, the empress' majestic voice sounded over the entire capital:
"Xuanyin! Come out and see me!"
The sound was like thunder, shaking the clouds all over the sky. In an instant, it spread to every corner of this majestic city with a population of one million.
……
The Zhao family.
Eugene Hua was warming himself by the fire in his room with his daughter when he was startled by the sound.
The mother and daughter walked out of the room and gathered in the courtyard with a group of servants. They looked at the dragon aura vaguely hovering over Shenlong Temple with blank expressions.
……
Jizhao Temple.
Beside the pond where the residual lotus has declined, Prajna Bodhisattva sitting on a swing suddenly looked up.
A pair of wise eyes looked at the sky above the temple opposite in astonishment. The empress in white stood tall and tall. Feeling the majestic power of the emperor in the heaven and human realm, her eyes shed tears.
The nunnery was in chaos. Princess Yunyang came out of the Zen room and fell into a daze when she saw the scene in the sky.
……
Tianshi Mansion.
"Jingle, clank."
In the workshop of Little Fatty Gongshu Tianyuan, the sound of knocking was interrupted, and a believer in the craftsman god wearing a wrinkled priest robe came out and looked at the sky in the distance in surprise.
"Your Majesty?" A petite figure flew over, Jin Jian slowly landed, pushed down the crystal ground glasses on the bridge of his nose, and was shocked, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
The other priests also They came out one after another and gathered in the square, looking into the distance in surprise.
In the backyard, Zhang Yanyi, who was taking a nap under the big banyan tree, was also awakened.
The ruddy face showed a moment of confusion, as if the scene in front of him was not part of his heavenly deduction, and he couldn't help but frown.
...
"Xuanyin! Come out and see me!"
Amidst the majestic scolding, the entire Shenlong Temple was the first to bear the brunt. Countless monks in the temple felt the coming of Huanghuang's power in horror.
Those with higher cultivation levels were better off, while the little novice monks with low cultivation levels were all trembling with instinctive fear and surrender.
Monks walked out of various Buddhist temples and meditation rooms one after another and gathered in the largest patio in the center.
Also dressed in white, with a delicate and handsome appearance, the famous Master Bian Ji walked out and immediately became the backbone of the monks:
"Master!"
"The Master is here!"
"What's going on? Why is Your Majesty doing this? Order the abbot?"
The monks were confused and looked frightened.
Seeing the chaos, Master Bianji clasped his hands together and shouted like a bell:
"Amitabha!"
With the sound of his Buddha's trumpet, the frightened minds of the monks were soothed and they all calmed down.
Bianji stood in the crowd, looked up at the empress in the sky, and said loudly:
"Why is your majesty visiting? The abbot has been in seclusion for many years and has never appeared in the world. If there is any misunderstanding, please let me know. It is clearly stated that the young monk will convey it on my behalf..."
Facing the empress who was clearly angry, Bian Ji was as humble as a young novice monk.
Xu Zhenguan, however, was too lazy to talk nonsense with Bianji. She stood in the air, pointing the tip of the sword in her hand at the main hall of Shenlong Temple, where Abbot Xuanyin retreats in the realm of heaven and man, and her voice became increasingly cold:
"Xuanyin! If you don't come out, I will destroy your temple today."
Bianji was shocked. He knew that his Master Xuanyin, although his physical body was in seclusion in Shenlong Temple, his soul wandered there all year round. outside.
I am afraid that he has not yet returned to his body at this moment. Nagarjuna and Ghastly are not in the temple, and Prajna has the temperament to watch the fire from the other side. He immediately gritted his teeth, leaped into the air, and said:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. If there is any misunderstanding, please go to the temple and sit down to discuss in detail..."
Xu Zhenguan's face was expressionless, and the Tai'a sword in his hand casually slashed a magnificent sword light towards a side hall.
“Ah!”
Everyone in the temple was shocked.
Master Bianji's heart sank, and he didn't have time to think too much. He immediately stretched his hands toward his head and silently recited the Buddha's name, accompanied by a "dong" sound.
With him as the center, an extremely huge illusory golden bell suddenly appeared, blocking the path of the sword light.
"Crack!!"
The two collided, and the huge golden bell cracked instantly. The man in the air spewed out a mouthful of blood as if he had been hit hard. Like a kite with its string broken, it fell towards the courtyard.
The remaining sword energy struck the side hall. In an instant, the glazed roof shattered. The entire Buddhist hall seemed to have been hit by a heavenly weapon and collapsed into broken walls.
There was a lot of smoke and dust.
"Master——"
The monks caught the falling debate machine in horror. Although there were many masters in the temple, they had no confidence to resist at this moment.
Xu Zhenguan held a sword in his hand and said in a solemn tone: "Xuanyin, get out!"
This was the third sentence she said after arriving. Seeing that the main hall was still quiet, Xu Zhenguan's dark eyebrows stood up, and she really didn't wait any longer.
The empress in white stands in the sky, with three thousand black hair fluttering in the cold wind.
She was like a banished immortal, her eyes were as stern as a god, and the Tai'a Sword in her hand was suddenly thrown towards the most majestic treasure hall in Shenlong Temple!
The sword energy is like a rainbow.
The divine weapon comes to the world.
At this moment, under the gaze of countless people in the capital, a thin fire suddenly lit up in the dark sky, like a world-destroying meteorite.
In the eyes of those practitioners in the city, the tip of the sword suddenly penetrated the sound barrier and propped up an arc-shaped air shield with a diameter of a hundred meters, which was an air wave formed by wind resistance.
The divine weapon carrying the aura of destruction was as red as coal, burning and distorting the space.
The red fire was so powerful that it was unimaginable in a blink of an eye, almost like a red waterfall splashing across the world.
"Ah——"
Amidst the wailing sounds of countless monks in horror, the centuries-old golden body of the Buddha in Shenlong Temple is about to be broken.
In the main hall, the Buddha's light suddenly rose and splashed into the sky.
The Buddha's light is like the dawn tearing apart the dawn, and the sun leaps out of the eastern sky and shines brightly on the world.
In the Buddha's light, an extremely huge "World Honored One" with majestic and compassionate features rises slowly, accompanied by rolling Sanskrit sounds.
An old monk wearing brown monk robes quietly appeared on the roof of the temple. His thin and short body stood precariously in the cold winter wind.
Abbot Xuanyin clasped his hands together.
The magnificent "World Honored One" also clasped his hands together and did not attack the empress. He just opened a huge golden bell that could cover the entire Shenlong Temple.
Then, like a fiery red waterfall, the sword light like a meteorite from the sky hit the huge golden bell.
