Chapter 230: Buddhist Dongshan Temple, is He going after them? (Two in One)
"Old boy."
Before Tianweizi could take Yang Qihuang away, the old poisonous creature dodged.
Stopped in front of the two of them.
His tone was slightly cold: "Today, you can't leave."
"Want to go?"
At the same time, a group of royal family members came up with unfriendly faces and surrounded the two of them.
"kill!"
Accompanied by a sharp shout.
The royal family attacked without saying a word and killed the two men.
"I want to leave, and you can't stop me."
Upon seeing this, Tianweizi's eyes narrowed slightly. He grabbed Yang Qihuang with one hand, took a step forward with the sword in the other, and a shocking sword intent soared into the sky, and he slashed out with the sword.
Shine——
In an instant, a terrifying sword light illuminated the entire sky.
The sword energy roared, carrying an edge that seemed to be able to cut through everything in the world, and slashed towards the royal family.
"break!"
Facing such terrifying sword energy.
The royal family members snorted coldly and punched out together, their energy and blood covering the sky.
In just a moment, the sword energy was annihilated.
“Your sword skills are indeed astounding. If you were given more time, you might be able to get a glimpse of the way of heaven and man. It’s a pity that you are going to die here today.” A figure with royal background took a step forward, rushed forward directly, and punched Tianweizi with a sneer.
"ridiculous…"
Tian Wei Zi sneered when he heard this and said, "You guys think you can kill me?"
After saying this, Tianweizi raised the long sword in his hand slightly.
He swung a sword at him.
'boom'
As the sword energy poured out, the former's expression changed slightly.
He immediately withdrew and did not dare to take it head-on. At the same time, the rest of the royal family rushed over and combined their strength to punch, instantly smashing the sword into pieces.
In an instant, a group of royal family members started fighting with Tianweizi, who was holding Yang Qihuang in one hand. The flashes of swords and the shadows of knives were endless, and the might was extremely terrifying.
"Damn it!"
Yang Qihuang, who was being held up by Tianweizi with one hand and dangled back and forth, turned green in the face and angrily cursed, "Old man, put me down quickly. I'm going to chop these bastards to death."
"Do not talk nonsense."
Tianweizi, who had been dodging continuously, frowned when he heard this.
He said in a deep voice: "You have already suffered a serious injury before. If you fight again and damage your foundation, you may never reach the realm of heaven and man in this life. Don't speak, and quickly regulate your breathing. I can still hold on for a while. When you recover, you can take me away."
Tianweizi's plan was simple.
Most of these royal families are of declining vitality, and the strength they can display in martial arts is only 60% to 70% of their peak period.
At this moment, he was a little tired and even a little embarrassed.
But it won't be long.
These royal assets will show signs of decline and will be unable to fight again. As long as he can hold out until that time, Yang Qihuang's strength will be enough to take him away.
As for the old poison...
Tianweizi didn't think that his old friend would really kill him.
It's impossible to watch him die.
Of course, this is also the worst plan, as long as the reinforcements that Empress Dowager Xiao mentioned arrive.
Nothing will be the same.
"it is good!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Qihuang immediately understood what Tianweizi meant.
He immediately said, "Old man, be careful. My injuries will be suppressed in half a quarter of an hour at most."
"Half a minute..."
Tianweizi did not speak, but just nodded with a serious face.
……
at the same time.
Donghai Prefecture.
Dongshan Temple, backyard.
An old monk with a thin figure, wearing a purple and gold cassock and holding a staff, stood in front of a furious Vajra statue over ten feet tall and suddenly looked up.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards Chang'an from afar.
After a while.
Then he looked away: "Amitabha."
"It is so strange that something unexpected happened in the palace at this time." There was a hint of doubt in the old monk's slightly cloudy eyes.
He murmured, "It shouldn't be like this."
The old monk frowned slightly, thinking about whether something had happened.
A martial monk hurriedly walked out of a Zen temple.
He strode to the statue of the angry Vajra and clasped his hands together, "Abbot, the ancient Buddha Ananda sent a message asking us to go to Chang'an immediately to help Empress Dowager Xiao accomplish her mission."
"Good."
The old monk nodded when he heard this.
He said slowly: "Since it is the order of the ancient Buddha Ananda, let Budong go."
"Let Bu Dong go?" The monk showed surprise.
"Let's go."
The old abbot shook his head and did not explain. He only muttered to himself, "The Emperor Star, which should have been dim, actually became bright and brilliant in just a few days. What happened?"
……
the other side.
Dongchuan Prefecture, the residence of Prince Yan.
The inner court.
The Prince of Yan, dressed in black, sat opposite the Taoist Canghe under a peach tree.
Under the tree, there is a bluestone table.
While the two men were drinking wine and discussing philosophy, a white crane sometimes sat quietly, sometimes flapped its wings, and sometimes cried.
White smoke came out of the incense burner, swirling around the two people and then falling straight to the ground. From a distance, it looked like a fairyland, with a lot of Taoist charm.
Taoist Canghe added a spoonful of wine to King Yan.
He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, something has changed in the palace."
"The Queen Mother can't help it?"
Upon hearing this, King Yan looked at Taoist Canghe with some surprise.
Not many people knew that the Queen Mother would rebel, and he happened to be one of them.
So after hearing about the changes in the palace.
His first reaction was not shock, but to ask this question.
"Your Majesty, you guessed wrong this time."
Taoist Cang He smiled and shook his head, then added another spoonful of wine to himself and said, "It's not that the Queen Mother couldn't help it, but that our Majesty couldn't help it."
"Empress?"
The King of Chu was even more surprised after hearing this.
He asked in confusion: "With the power the empress has accumulated now, do you dare to attack the empress dowager?"
"Your Majesty, our Majesty is not simple at all. Not only does she dare to attack the Queen Mother, but her chances of success are much higher than hers. It can even be said that she is foolproof."
These words of Taoist Canghe.
The pupils of King Yan shrank slightly, and he was a little shocked: "Are you serious, Taoist priest?"
"Of course it's true."
Taoist Canghe nodded, and seeing King Yan's shocked expression, he couldn't help but chuckle.
He opened his mouth slowly and explained, "Our Majesty now not only has the full support of the Qingyuan Sword Sect's leader, but the Jinyiwei has also been completely purged by her, and those who remain are all die-hard fans. In addition, a few days ago, the eldest princess Changli, who served as her majesty's protector, was also brought under her command. At the same time, a group of royal family members have also expressed their intention to defect to her majesty."
“That’s not all…”
Seeing King Yan's expression change again, Taoist Canghe's face also became solemn at this time, and he said in a deep voice: "Today, Lu Qingyuan also arrived in Chang'an, and will break through soon."
"Grand Princess Changli should be able to break through today and step into the ranks of celestial beings."
"With the full support of Duke Wu and the help from the man in the north from time to time, our Majesty is already fully fledged and should not be underestimated."
"hiss…"
As Taoist Canghe finished speaking.
The Prince of Yan finally came back to his senses from his shock, and he took a deep breath in disbelief and said, "If that's the case, the Queen Mother really has no chance of winning."
"Yes."
Taoist Canghe nodded.
He chuckled and said, "Unless a celestial being comes out of that place, the Queen Mother will definitely be defeated."
"impossible."
After hearing this, King Yan immediately said, "It is impossible for a person of heavenly realm to leave that place. This is a rule that has been set since the ancient times, and no one dares to violate it."
As he spoke, King Yan suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He looked at Taoist Canghe and said, "Master, do you think we should help the Queen Mother this time?"
"inappropriate."
Taoist Canghe shook his head.
He said solemnly: "Your Highness, do you know that once the Queen Mother succeeds and sits on the throne, it will be very difficult to take back the country and people of the Dawu Dynasty."
"But if the empress wins..." Prince Yan asked back.
"this…"
Taoist Canghe frowned tightly.
He couldn't help but think of the fact that the Emperor Star, which was supposed to be dim, was shining again and illuminating the entire night sky, and he suddenly fell silent.
“If we allow the empress to win this time, it will be no easier to take the world from her than from the empress dowager.” Upon seeing this, the Prince of Yan frowned slightly.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the North Territory obscurely: "It may even be more difficult."
"Your Highness, you mean the one from the North?"
At this time, Taoist Canghe also reacted.
Although the one in the North has not clearly expressed his attitude of supporting the Empress.
But the various actions of that One.
However, he had a more or less ambiguous relationship with the empress, and helped her many times.
The incident in Xingqing Prefecture is the best example.
And they also received news that after the Jinyiwei counted the gains in Yangwu Town, Yu Qingzhi, the great Kaiyang Hand who was once a well-known figure in the martial arts world,
He actually accompanied them to escort the batch of silver back to the court.
You know, Yu Qingzhi’s current identity is a member of the Black Ice Platform.
and so…
His accompanying to escort the silver was certainly not his own initiative, but an order from the one in the northern border. From this, we can see that the King of Zhenbei, who had always been indifferent and aloof, also had his own ideas.
"Yes."
King Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Once he supports the Empress, I will have to admit it no matter how much I don't want to admit it. This world will have no chance for me."
"King of Zhenbei..." Taoist Canghe fell silent again.
The one in the north was like a towering mountain, pressing down the entire Dawu Dynasty and all the ambitious people to the point that they could hardly breathe.
Especially, after he helped the empress many times.
Even more so.
Taoist Canghe was silent for a long time before he raised his head and asked Prince Yan, "So, Your Majesty, you think it would be better to let the Queen Mother do the work?"
"Yes."
King Yan nodded and said, "When the time comes, even if I really can't take back the kingdom from her, I still have our friendship today and won't be liquidated by her. At worst, I can go to that place to practice, which is also an option."
Since you have this idea, why not help the empress, but instead help Empress Dowager Xiao.
There are two reasons...
Firstly, King Yan knew it very well.
The first thing the empress did once she had firmly established her throne and completely consolidated her imperial power.
It's definitely about cutting down the feudal vassal!
This second time...
If it weren't for the relationship with Empress Dowager Xiao, he might not be able to go to that place to practice.
Even the Earth Sect doesn't have that ability.
Furthermore, judging from the current period, apart from the Queen Mother’s background.
The empress is obviously much more difficult to deal with than the former.
No matter how you look at it, helping the Queen Mother accomplish things is more worthwhile than helping the Empress.
Now the only problem.
It's the one from the North who wonders if he will lend a helping hand to the Empress this time.
"If that's the case, then it would be much more beneficial for us if we let the Queen Mother succeed." After hearing what King Yan said, Taoist Canghe nodded in agreement.
Then he added: "Moreover, once the Queen Mother succeeds, even if that person chooses to help the Empress, his first target will definitely not be us, but the Queen Mother. In this way, we can continue to choose to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity."
"Yes."
King Yan nodded and said, "And this time, we are not the only ones who plan to take action. The Buddhist sect may also choose to take action against the empress."
"Buddhism..." When Taoist Canghe heard the word "Buddhism", his expression changed slightly.
Complex said: "I don't know whether it is right or wrong for Buddhism to return to the Central Plains. If the seal can't suppress it and he escapes, it will be a disaster."
“Him.”
At this moment, King Yan's expression also showed a hint of solemnity.
He didn't know much about Him, only that He was an ancient god who had fallen into darkness.
As for how strong He is?
How could an existence that can be called God be simple?
In a solemn moment, King Yan looked at Taoist Canghe with a complicated expression, and asked tentatively: "Master, if he really escapes, will the Dao Sect be able to deal with it?"
"Absolutely impossible."
Taoist Canghe shook his head.
King Yan said with a look of disappointment and shock: "Back then, in order to seal him, all the sects in the Central Plains used all their strengths and did not dare to hold back at all."
"Even the immortals on land have died, more than a hundred of them."
“The number of Heavenly Realm cultivators devoured by Him was as high as three hundred, causing great damage to the Central Plains martial arts. Even today, it has not recovered.”
As Taoist Cang He spoke, he seemed to be recalling the scene of the past. His face suddenly turned pale, and even his body began to tremble slightly.
"this…"
After hearing this, King Yan couldn't help but reveal a trace of fear in his eyes, and asked in horror: "Who on earth is that?"
"I don't even know."
Taoist Canghe took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in his heart.
He shook his head and said, "Back then, I was still just a child, and I didn't know much about Him. I only saw with my own eyes that the world had turned into a bloody mess. At that time, people died every day in the Central Plains, and corpses were everywhere. The Heavenly Dao was in grief."
"Bloody world..."
At this moment, King Yan felt his throat was extremely dry.
He could not imagine how many people would have to die before the world would be dyed bloody.
"At that time, no one came to suppress Him?"
King Yan was shocked and asked Taoist Canghe with some doubt.
If someone comes from that place.
It shouldn't be that difficult to suppress Him, right?
after all…
The strength of the Central Plains alone can suppress it.
"them?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Taoist Canghe suddenly sneered, with a hint of sneer on his face: "When he was born, he went to them."
"Are you going after them?" King Yan was stunned.
"Or rather, His purpose from the very beginning was only for them."
As Taoist Canghe spoke, his face suddenly turned cold.
He said in a cold tone: "But they..."
