Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 155
Late at night, above the former site of Ganye Temple.

The artisans who remodeled and repaired here during the day had already left at this time.In the entire old site of Ganye Temple, there was no one there.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed past.

Monk Huiqi stopped and looked at the wood, bricks and tiles all over the floor, as well as the brand-new and elegant pavilions in front of him, with an extremely complicated expression.

The first temple of Buddhism in the past, now under the transformation of court craftsmen, it no longer looks like a place of Buddhism.Only in the corner on the side, the random pile of banners, can still vaguely see some traces of the former Ganye Temple.

Several months have passed since the change in Ganye Temple.Hui Qi came here just now, as if he wanted to seek clues, but it was actually too late!
Not to mention whether Xiao Cheng would leave any evidence when he did it.Even if there is, it is impossible for the craftsmen of the imperial court to be here for such a long time without being discovered!
But at this time, Hui Qi's face was dull, showing some disappointment. Instead, he clasped his hands together, found a clean place, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and moved his lips constantly, as if he was reciting scriptures.

Midnight, deep mountains, abandoned temples, old monks chanting scriptures.With the superposition of various factors, this picture, in the eyes of others, is quite weird and frightening.

After a while, Monk Huiqi stopped chanting, slowly opened his eyes, looked around, and said in a deep voice:

"This benefactor, I have already rescued the monks of Ganye Temple here, and the mundane affairs are over, please come out and talk about it!"

The voice of the old monk was not high.But at this time, there is the blessing of internal energy, but it spreads very far, and it keeps echoing among the high mountains in front of it.

After a while, only the sound of a piece of clothing being ripped through the air was heard.

A figure, like a crane soaring in clouds, flew out and landed in front of Monk Huiqi.

Monk Huiqi raised his head, slightly sizing up the person in front of him.

The visitor was about 30 years old, with sharp eyes, a beard like a halberd, and a long knife on his waist, with a high-spirited demeanor.The cloth clothes are a little shabby, but it also brings out his heroic spirit more and more.

When Hui Qi saw the visitor appear, he couldn't help but nodded slightly, admiringly said:
"During the time when I was in seclusion, in my Tiannan rivers and lakes, the heroes were like carp crossing the river. There are so many ninth-level masters in their 30s and [-]s! I don't know if the benefactor is the current Wu Xiang General Di Qing? Or the Pingman General Yang Dayan?"

The visitor bowed his head slightly to Monk Huiqi, and said in a deep voice:

"Don't dare to pretend to be the two generals, Dayun Forbidden Army Nan Jiyun, I have met the master!"

Hui Qi was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help being surprised, and said loudly:
"Nan Jiyun?"

Ninth-level masters are quite rare in the Jianghu. Even the few known as the most famous schools in the world, there are only two or three of them, and they are the pillars of each school.

But why is it that the current emperor seems to be able to recruit such a master to serve him without any effort?

First there was Pingman General Yang Dayan, who led hundreds of troops, and in the mountains and mountains on the southeast border, he killed Li's soldiers, and the grass and trees were full of soldiers.

Then he dug out the current Wu Xiang General Di Qing from the army, and single-handedly suppressed many masters in Ganye Temple, so that none of the monks in Ganye Temple escaped.

At this time, another Nan Jiyun who had never heard of it suddenly appeared.

Ninth-level masters, under the current emperor, seem to emerge endlessly, how can Hui Qi not be surprised?

Hui Qi pondered for a moment, and finally sighed softly, saying:
"Your Majesty's methods are superb today, and there are so many masters working for him, Ganye Temple deserves to lose!"

Nan Jiyun frowned slightly when he heard the words, and said in a high tone:
"The master should not say such words in the future. The monks of Ganye Temple committed rebellion and conspired against each other. The evidence is convincing, and there is more than enough to die! Master should not listen to other people's words, so he has doubts about His Majesty!"

Hui Qi heard the words, sighed lightly, and said:
"Old Monk, if you don't believe the monks of Ganye Temple, they will commit rebellion."

Nan Jiyun frowned even more when he heard the words, and said:
"Grandmaster has been running around the capital to investigate. The evidence of treason in the Ganye Temple has been seen by the master. Why don't you believe it?"

Hearing what Nan Jiyun said, Monk Hui Qi showed a look on his face, he shook his head and said:

"Sure enough, all the whereabouts of the old monk and others in Beijing are in the eyes of the current emperor."

"Without His Majesty's signal, Master, do you think those testimonial files that should have been locked in the treasury would be in front of your eyes!" Nan Jiyun said in a deep voice.

The rebellion and rebellion of Ganye Temple is all true, and once there is evidence, it cannot be faked, so it is still investigated by Monk Huiqi.

Well, Xiao Cheng is extremely good at fishing and enforcing the law, but who made Ganye Temple have such thoughts.

When Monk Huiqi heard the words, he couldn't help but hesitate.

After a moment of silence, Monk Hui Qi clasped his hands together and sighed:
"Amitabha, talking too much is useless. Benefactor Nan Jiyun, let's do it!"

After finishing speaking, Monk Hui Qi's figure suddenly rose violently, and rushed towards Nan Jiyun.

Monk Hui Qi stretched out his arms, and the wide cassock on his body suddenly flew up from his body, and suddenly covered Nan Jiyun's body.The sound of the cassock piercing the sky was loud and loud, and it was covered by Jiyun facing the south.

Hearing the words, Nan Jiyun frowned, stepped a little, and withdrew swiftly, and said:

"Master Huiqi, please stop, I have no intention of doing anything."

Nan Jiyun didn't intend to make a move, but Monk Hui Qi didn't seem to stop.

The cassock that flew up in the air continued to fly towards Nan Jiyun under the control of gentle force.In a trance, the air mechanism was locked, and the cassock stretched infinitely in a trance, and in a moment, it had already shrouded Nan Jiyun's head, covering the sky and covering the sun.

The size of the world seems to be shrouded in this patch of land at this moment.

At this time, if the will is not strong enough, under the lock of this supernatural martial arts, I am afraid that the hands and feet will already be weak, unable to resist, and they will be captured with nothing.

Seeing that the qi mechanism was locked, and the Buddhist martial arts had revealed visions, Nan Jiyun knew that it was inevitable for him to retreat!

Thinking of this, Nan Jiyun's eyes were sharp, and the long knife at his waist buzzed suddenly, and he unsheathed himself.The light of the knife was revealed, its sharp edge bloomed, and it fell directly into Nan Jiyun's hands.

With one swing of the knife, the internal force poured out with the blade, but there was no incomparable blade light revealed, and boundless energy. Instead, around Nan Jiyun, all kinds of heaven, earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, mountains, and lakes were condensed. vision.

All kinds of phantoms gradually solidified, turning into half-empty and half-real gossip images, covering Nan Jiyun's whole body.

The cassock, which was originally covered with an unstoppable momentum, suddenly froze and stood still.

Hui Qi's voice suddenly sounded:

"Okay! The image of gossip, among the Taoists, is famous for its swordsmanship, but never thought that there is such a subtle and mysterious swordsmanship! What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

The eight hexagram images continuously circled around Nan Jiyun, making the aura around him perfectly round and seamless, without any flaws.

Hearing the source of Hui Qi's voice, Nan Jiyun suddenly raised his head and said loudly:
"This saber technique is called Youshen Bagua Dao. It was taught by a teacher I met before, but I don't know if it comes from Taoism!"

As soon as the words fell, Nan Jiyun's eyes sharpened, and the long knife in his hand suddenly loosened, and then he folded his palms and slapped the end of the knife handle.

The phantoms all around solidified in an instant, gathered on the long knife and rose up into the air, carrying the loud sound of the wind, piercing the void, and stabbing at the cassock above the head.

There was only a "stab" sound, but the cassock was easily torn open, revealing the floating monk Huiqi behind.

Seeing the stabbing long knife, Monk Hui Qi did not resist, but sighed quietly, closed his eyes, and immediately stretched his arms, allowing the long knife to stab himself.

Seeing Hui Qi's appearance, Nan Jiyun's pupils suddenly shrank.

This monk Huiqi has the intention of begging for death!

The next moment, there was only a cry of a crane in a trance, and Nan Jiyun's figure rose violently, soaring straight into the sky.His body was extremely fast, leaving behind phantoms in the air, rushing straight towards Huiqi.

Monk Hui Qi closed his eyes, suddenly felt a chill in his chest, and his skin felt a tingling pain.Other than that, there is no other feeling.

He opened his eyes suddenly, but saw the long knife, which was already on his chest.And Nan Jiyun's figure was extremely fast, and he rushed into the air in that very short time just now, and grabbed the handle of the knife, which prevented Monk Hui Qi from being pierced through the chest by the long knife.

Nan Jiyun frowned, withdrew his saber abruptly and backed away, his body falling down.

Hui Qi sighed again, and then slowly landed on the ground.

"Master, do you intend to seek death?" Nan Jiyun asked coldly.

If it wasn't for his quick reaction and superb lightness kungfu just now, how could this monk Huiqi be alive?

Monk Huiqi looked at Nan Jiyun, lowered his head slightly, clasped his hands together, and said:
"Amitabha, it is not the old monk's intention to cause the donor to be tainted with murder!"

That's right, monk Huiqi came here just now with the idea of ​​begging for death.

After coming to Zhongqing City for so long, he and the monks under him naturally failed to find out any clues or doubts.The more it was like this, the more frightened Hui Qi became, and he no longer had the calmness he had when he entered Beijing!

Just because Ganye Temple did not choose to protect the former grand master Wang Xiao when he first ascended the throne, this has attracted the current emperor's heart to eradicate Buddhism. (Fomen told Huiqi the reason)
Prior to this, he had made many plans and arranged for a long time. First, in the name of the court's righteousness, he transferred the monks and soldiers guarding the Buddhist temple away.Afterwards, he planned painstakingly, and finally confirmed the rebellion in Ganye Temple, and directly mobilized the army to suppress it.

Now, with the Dharma Discussion Conference, people in the Buddhist sect are separated, making them fight against each other for the position of Great Master.

All these things are enough to show that the current emperor has a sinister character, a narrow mind, and extremely terrifying schemes.Xiao Cheng is the current emperor of the Yun Kingdom, in charge of the justice of the court, and because of the imperial conquest, he has a very high prestige in the court and the public, and has many masters working under him.

Under such targeting, the destruction of Buddhism is already a certainty.

Buddhism always felt that, in the face of the emperor's threat, Huiqi, a ninth-level master, was needed to sit in it.But Hui Qi could see clearly that with the power of the current emperor's subordinates, even if he was a ninth-level expert, he would be powerless to stop him.

Hui Qi pondered for a long time before he thought of a countermeasure.

Even if he wanted to die in Zhongqing City by himself, Qi would still die in the hands of the masters under the current emperor's command.

In this way, even if the current emperor tried to cover it up, two generations of Buddhist eminent monks died so suddenly in this city of Zhongqing.

Hui Qi wanted to use his own death in exchange for Xiao Cheng's fear, so that the Buddhist sect could continue to survive for a while.

Even if the vitality of the Buddhist sect is severely injured afterwards, it can always leave a trace of inheritance!

But it's a pity, he underestimated Nan Jiyun's skill, that's why he didn't die.

Nan Jiyun looked at Monk Huiqi, frowned and said:

"A lot of evidence is in front of the master, but the master is blinded by a leaf, and he believes that His Majesty framed the Ganye Temple. But he never opened his eyes to see, is the current Buddhist gate still the Buddhist gate of the past?"

Hui Qi frowned and said:
"I only believe what I see with my eyes!"

During his stay in Beijing, he only saw that in the marketplace, there were people constantly tarnishing the reputation of Buddhism.Xiao Cheng even used the Dharma Discussion Conference and the position of the Great Master of Buddhism to drive apart the Buddhist monks.The establishment of the degree system has the meaning of restricting Buddhism.

All these things made him preconceived and had a bad opinion of Xiao Cheng.Another Buddhist disciple deliberately concealed it in front of him, so naturally he became more and more sure of Xiao Cheng's malice towards Buddhism.

"In this case, Master might as well go back and investigate. Why did you call the monks and soldiers of Buddhist temples from all over the place to gather in Ganye Temple before the invasion of Xia and Li? The class teacher appeared in Zhongqing City when he returned to the court!" Nan Jiyun said in a deep voice.

Hui Qi heard this and couldn't help but argue:

"Calling the monks and soldiers to protect the temple, it is Ganye Temple for the sake of the country of Yunguo, that's why..."

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly stopped.

There are some things that Hui Qi hadn't thought about before.But if it is true what Nan Jiyun said, it is indeed quite suspicious.

It was for the sake of maintaining the state of Yun that the monastery guardian monks and soldiers were summoned, so why did they take action before Beijing received the news?Not to mention, those Buddhist disciples who sneaked into Beijing when Xiao Cheng returned to court!
The more Hui Qi thought about it, the more ugly his face became.

"Master, those words just now were ordered by His Majesty to bring them to you! If you really want to find out what you really want, please ask Master, don't be preconceived and blind!" Nan Jiyun said.

Hui Qi's expression kept changing, and finally his face sank. He bowed eleven times to Nan Jiyun, turned around and strode away.

　Nan Jiyun's martial arts and image are based on Liang Yusheng's biography of a knight-errant in the Tang Dynasty, which can be regarded as a combination of novels and official history.
