Great Swordsman

Chapter 199 The wooden bowl calls Princess Chu into the palace
When Li Mu returned to Qingping County, it was already the beginning of Haishi, the bright moon hung high in the night, and the stars were shining brightly. In the southeast, there was a Milky Way composed of countless stars, engraved brilliantly in the night, and the bright moon complemented each other.

Li Mu fell from the stars and landed lightly in front of Li's residence.

There was a five-color aura shield outside Li's residence, Li Mu frowned slightly, a little scared.

In the past, every time he went out and came back, his home would be stolen, first by the king of Shu, then by the fourth steward of the Mo family, who is unknown this time... He entered with his seal, and immediately there was movement from behind the screen wall.

"Who?!" The groom came out cautiously with a whip, saw that it was Li Mu, bowed his head and said, "It is the lord who has returned, and the little one has seen the lord!"

It seems that nothing happened... Li Mu waved him up and asked, "Is there nothing wrong with the mansion these days? Is the baby back?"

The groom said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord. During this time, no major incidents have happened at home or in the county. The doll has also returned. It was sent back by a monk who carried a tripod."

Sanchen really believed in people!
With his hands behind his hands, Li Mu walked around the screen wall and entered the front yard, and asked Lin Youjing and others about their progress in cultivation in a low voice.

"My lord, Lin Tutou now has two flowers on top, and the second flower is made of seven-color flowers!"

"Seven-color flower?" Li Mu had never heard of it.

"My lord, it was Lin Butou who found it in a flower valley in the Hengduan Mountains. Although it is not as good as Emperor Liuzhi, it is still a rare spiritual object. In order to get the seven-color flower, Lin Butou almost disappeared." The groom said, "Ning After the success of the flowers, Lin Tutou went there a few more times, but only brought back some five-color flowers, all of which were given to Miss Hua."

Girl Hua... Li Mu looked at the groom expressionlessly, suspecting that this guy had been pierced by a brat.

"It's Hua Jieyu Hua everyone. She doesn't like us calling her 'everyone', so she has to call her a girl." The groom explained.

Li Mu nodded and asked, "Has Xie Yu also gathered flowers?"

"The first flower is being condensed." The groom said, "In another five or six days, the flower should be condensed successfully."

not bad!
Li Mu nodded in relief. Lin Youjing and Hua Jieyu are the two most talented people under his command. Now, one of them has gathered two flowers, and the other is about to condense into one flower. Looking at the world, they are also top-notch.

With the smallpox in his hand, I believe that Lin Xiaojing will soon be able to get all three flowers together.

"Li Mu, Li Mu~" At this moment, a sound of horseshoes came from the side corridor.

Li Mu turned his head to look, only to see the baby dancing the 'Red Blood Vine' in its hands, and the little white horse on the crotch, holding Hu Dundun, screaming and galloping wildly.

The dominance of the backyard is undeniable!

"How do you know I'm back?" Li Mu walked over with a smile.

"I can smell it~" the baby cried happily.

Li Mu also became happy: "I didn't hurt you in vain, you can remember me..."

"Roast duck! Where's the roast duck~" The baby jumped off the little white horse, stepped on the short lotus root-like legs and hugged Li Mu's thigh.

???

Li Mu was shocked: "What you smell is roast duck?!"

"Hmm~" Waowa responded loudly, happily flipping through Li Mu's lapel.

I paid by mistake... Li Mu took out twenty roast ducks from the Dragon Scale space disheartened.

"Li Mu, it's cold~" the baby pouted, she was picky eater, she insisted on eating hot food!

Li Mu had no choice but to ask the groom to warm her up.

"Wow~" At this time, Hu Dundun took the opportunity to bite off the rope around his neck, his two tiger ears trembled majestically, turned around and ran away.

The little white horse ran with its hooves, Hu Dundun was in a hurry, the goal of the two running together was too big, would it be okay to be seen by the little devil?
It immediately pouted its two tiger hooves, kicked the little white horse to the ground, then ran into the garden without looking back, and disappeared.

Sure enough, the baby didn't notice Hu Dundun's escape, she took out a wooden bowl from her bosom, and said, "Look, Li Mu, this is the treasure that the great monk gave me~"

Wooden bowl?

Li Mu took a look, and immediately found that the wooden bowl was different.

Sensing carefully, Li Mu found that the wooden bowl was actually a storage device, and, because the wooden bowl was not closed, it could hold living things!

With a roll of Li Mu's spiritual power, he directly put the little white horse into the wooden bowl.

He looked down, inside the wooden bowl, the little white horse became the size of a little finger, neighing and running uncomfortably in the wooden bowl, but the sound inside was blocked by the formation, and outsiders couldn't hear it.

I didn't expect Monk Sanchen to have such a trick!
Li Mu was amazed.

"Li Mu, can you fix it?" the baby asked while hugging Li Mu's thigh.

"Fix it? Is it broken?" Li Mu was puzzled. From his point of view, the wooden bowl was fine except that it was a little weak!
"Yeah!" Wawa nodded affirmatively, and shouted, "This wooden bowl is leaking~"

She angrily told Li Mu that there was a wild boar in the wooden bowl, but the wild boar disappeared the next day. After that, she asked the monk to put a lot of delicious food in it, but it would disappear the next day!
The wooden bowl must be broken!
Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He understood that the doll wanted to eat meat, so he asked Sanchen to catch wild game. Sanchen had no choice but to follow suit.

"Baby, are you embarrassing Sanchen?" Li Mu asked.

The doll shook her little head: "No, I am obedient~ The great monk is also kind to me, giving me meat every day~"

"Did Sanchen kill a living being?" Li Mu frowned.

The doll shook her head: "It was begged from someone else's house~"

Alms?

This is really embarrassing for the three dusts, a monk brought a child to become a "flesh" fate...why do you want to laugh so much?
Li Mu picked up the baby with a smile and walked towards the backyard: "Did you encounter any danger on the way back?"

The baby shook his head, then nodded again, and said, "A man in black wanted to arrest me. I shot him with a gourd, and then he was trampled to death by the great monk~"

Li Mu frowned.

Someone actually wanted to harm the doll?
He immediately thought of Lin Mo, the red blood vine that Lin Mo encouraged others to cheat Wa Wa, but finally burned himself to death inexplicably. It seems that the man in black that Wa Wa talked about is the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, the ultimate goal of the man in black should be me, but unfortunately he is dead, and I don't know if there are any black hands behind him... Li Mu pondered.

"Li Mu, can you fix it~" the baby grabbed the wooden bowl, and looked at Li Mu with big eyes without blinking.

"Of course, leave it to me!" Li Mu nodded, the wooden bowl was not broken at all, why couldn't he fix it?
As he said that, he took off the gourd on the doll's head again, intending to replenish the sword energy inside, but when he sensed it, he found that the gourd was full!
In addition to his six sword qi, there are also three red Buddha lights!
This was obviously brought in by Monk Sanchen!

Moreover, these three red Buddha lights are stronger than Li Mu's sword energy!

There is no way, when Li Mu poured sword energy into it, he only gathered one flower at the top, so it is naturally impossible to compare with Sanchen who has three flowers gathered at the top.

But it can be changed... Li Mu handed the gourd to Wawa, and said, "Baby, shoot out all the sword energy inside, and I'll reinstall it for you."

"Okay~" The doll set off the fireworks happily.

……

The sky is bright.

Dijing.

Qiushui Pavilion in Fengming Hall of the Imperial Palace.

Qiushui Pavilion is a water pavilion located in the center of Qiuhu Lake, connected to the outside only by a long corridor.

It was still early in the morning, and the water mist on the lake in autumn was like steaming clouds.

At this moment, Empress Qin Mengyao's eyes were slightly closed, and she was sitting in the pavilion playing the piano. Ambergris was still lit on the piano table.

Amidst the clear sound of the zither, Qin Mengyao is dressed in a red palace attire, with black hair pulled high, a nine-beaded phoenix hairpin inserted obliquely, and two jade earrings hanging on the round and jade earlobes. Already stunning the world!
The slender ten fingers plucked back and forth between the strings, and the strings turned into invisible ripples, swinging out of the Qiushui Pavilion, stirring the water mist on the lake.

At the entrance of the water pavilion, Qin Shi Youlan and chess servant Xiaoju are standing on the left and right.

"Your Majesty's piano skills have improved by three points, and I can't even keep up with it." You Lan said happily, her delicate face full of admiration.

Xiaoju: zzZ.
"Xiaoju, why are you falling asleep again!" You Lan shook her awake, reproaching rather dissatisfied.

"But am I sleepy?" Xiao Ju wiped off the smirk at the corner of her mouth, and said aggrievedly and proudly, "I studied the ancient endgame last night, and I didn't sleep all night."

You have the nerve to say it... You Lan's eyes are dim.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we are back!!" Suddenly, a lively voice came from a distance.

"It's Zhu'er!" You Lan and Xiao Ju turned around and saw Zhu'er and Leng Mei walking quickly.

The sound of the zither in the Qiushui Pavilion is continuous, and it is still moving like clouds and flowing water.

After the four servants greeted each other, they waited outside the water pavilion until the end of the song when Qin Mengyao's voice came from inside: "Come in."

"Yes, empress!" Zhu'er replied loudly.

The four servants walked through the winding corridor on the autumn lake, entered the water pavilion, and after saluting, Zhu'er chattered about their trip to Lingyun County.

"Young lady, you don't know, the Ling family is too hateful, they made an alliance with us, but in the end they threw themselves into the arms of the King of Chu, if it wasn't for me and Leng Mei who were bold and careful, with subtleties in the thick, and hidden needles in the finer details..." Zhu'er is very gifted in speech, so he was so frothy that he finished speaking for more than half an hour.

"My palace already knows what you said." Qin Mengyao got up and walked to the pavilion, looking at the rising sun in the east, and said quietly, "Uncle Chu entered the capital two days ago and wrote a letter to plead guilty to this palace. This matter is over. .By the way, Commander Ying didn't cause trouble, right?"

Zhu'er and Leng Mei looked at each other, and decisively sold Ying Wei!

Zhu'er said excitedly: "When fighting for smallpox, Commander Ying confronted the King of Chu and shouted: Princes and generals, it's better to be kind!"

"What? He..." Qin Mengyao was taken aback, then sighed, and said, "Forget it, uncle knows, he will teach him a lesson."

Then, he asked Li Mu again.

"Your Majesty, Li Mu... also did something amazing!" Zhu'er said excitedly and gossipingly, "He fell in love with Ling Shishi at first sight in the Lingyun Giant Buddha Grotto, and wrote a poem for her! He also asked Madam If you take more care of her, you almost pissed off the King of Chu!"

"No wonder Uncle Chu asked me to hand over Li Mu to him in his notebook." Qin Mengyao laughed, "What poem did he write?"

The excitement on Zhu'er's face disappeared instantly, and she suddenly felt uneasy: "This..."

"Leng Mei, tell me." Qin Mengyao looked at Leng Mei.

Leng Mei hesitated for a while, and said: "Looking back at Bai Meisheng with a smile, Liugong Fendai has no color."

Liugong Fendai... no color?

Youlan's pupils shrank.

Xiaoju's drowsiness disappeared in an instant, her eyes widened, and she exclaimed in disbelief: "Li Mu is so good at writing!"

"Madam, Li Mu didn't do it on purpose, I told him to ask him to write poems for Madam next time!" Zhu'er said quickly, for fear that Madam would blame Li Mu.

Qin Mengyao said with a smile: "Ling Shishi and Bengong are equally beautiful. When she smiles, even Bengong can't compare with her. I really want to meet this... Princess Chu."

"You Lan, go to the clan mansion and ask when the King of Chu and Princess Chu will get married." Qin Mengyao ordered.

"Yes, empress." You Lan quickly left the water pavilion.

After You Lan left, Leng Mei talked about the business: "Madam, 73 people were killed or injured in the Imperial Academy during this trip, and 670 smallpox were awarded. Excluding those who rewarded everyone in the Imperial Academy, there are still 830 smallpox remaining."

"Put them all in the inner treasury." Qin Mengyao said casually.

"Yes." Leng Mei agreed, and turned to deal with the matter.

"Ma'am, this is the stone Li Mu gave me. He said he wanted to know what the stone is for." Zhu'er took out a piece of blue jade, with blood streaks winding inside, in the shape of a dragon.

Qin Mengyao took the jade, but couldn't see why, and said: "Order the Imperial Academy to search."

"Yes, empress." Zhu'er thought of something, and hurriedly lowered his voice: "Empress, I saw Jiuding!"

"Jiuding? Which one is it? Who owns it?" Qin Mengyao's expression froze.

Zhu'er hurriedly said: "The body of the tripod is severely corroded, and Zhu'er can't distinguish it, the tripod should still be in the hands of Monk Sanchen."

"Monster Monk Sanchen?" Qin Mengyao frowned.

A few days ago, all the temples in the Western Regions suddenly spread the word to all the temples in the world, declaring that Sanchen is a heinous demon monk, and any believer who sees it will be killed instantly!

Could it be that the temples in the Western Regions targeted Sanchen so much for the sake of Jiuding... Qin Mengyao shook his head slightly, no, if it was for the sake of Jiuding, then it would not be said that instant death is unpardonable.

"Mother, I don't know if Sanchen is a demon monk, but he is Li Mu's friend." Zhu'er suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, Li Mu said that Sanchen found a copy of it in the Buddhist collection in the Lingyun Buddha Grotto. Buddhist fate."

"Fate of the Buddha, Lingyun Buddha...so that's how it is." Qin Mengyao understood.

Lingyun Buddha was built by Lingyun Temple, and the reason why Lingyun Temple was destroyed is nothing more than the fact that Maitreya Buddhism, which represents the future Buddha, threatened the status of Buddha Dharma of the present Buddha.

Therefore, Sanchen must have received the inheritance of Maitreya Buddhism before he was hunted down by the monasteries in the Western Regions... Qin Mengyao's thoughts turned.

"Li Mu said that Ling Shishi also received a copy of the Dharma inheritance." Zhu'er said again.

"So, I want to see her even more." Qin Mengyao smiled and sat in front of the piano again, stroking a piece.

It didn't take long for Xiaoju, the chess servant, to fall asleep to the sound of the piano, bit by bit piercing her head with the ball head.

Zhu'er glanced at the queen, saw that she didn't pay attention to him, walked over with a smirk, poked Xiaoju's cheek lightly with his finger, once or twice, and soon, crystal saliva slowly dripped from the corner of Xiaoju's mouth.

It took half an hour before Youlan came back in a hurry!

She walked quickly through the corridor and entered the pavilion, and saw the saliva dripping from the corner of Xiaoju's mouth at a glance, and glared at Zhu'er angrily and amusedly.

Zhu'er made a grimace.

"What does the clan's residence say?" Qin Mengyao asked.

"Your Majesty, they said that the King of Chu didn't intend to organize the wedding, and that the Princess of Chu has always acted calmly, and she didn't want to waste people's money, so everything was kept simple, and they just sent the name card to the clan's mansion for registration." You Lan said quickly. .

"This Princess Chu is quite interesting." Qin Mengyao smiled, "Youlan, pass on the imperial decree to call Princess Chu to the palace, and I want to see her."
