The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 311 "Kidnapping" (please subscribe)
Palace!

The setting sun broke through the early winter clouds, split into wisps, and spread evenly on the towering red walls of the palace.

In the deep and long palace, Emperor Yuan Qing rode a simple carriage, rumbled out of the Qianqing Palace, passed through door after door, and finally arrived outside the Ancestral Temple.

When he arrived, the vision of the main temple had faded.

The large group of Imperial Guards were restless.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing the arrival of Emperor Yuan Qing, who was dressed in regular uniforms, the armored imperial guards fell to their knees.

Emperor Yuan Qing didn't even look at it. He just said "wait here" and then crossed the high threshold on his own.

Running in the sunset with small steps, I didn't straighten my appearance until I pushed open the heavy door of the main hall, and bowed down:

"Yuanqing is late. May I ask my ancestors what happened?"

Above the desk where the nameplates of the past emperors of gods were placed, there was a faint gaze cast down.

Emperor Yuan Qing was so angry that he didn't dare to breathe, and beads of sweat broke out on his temples. It took a long time before he heard the "ancestor" say:

"The national movement in Yuhang was in turmoil, and a powerful Shenzang man took action. At least several great demons in the Observation of Heaven Realm died."

Emperor Yuan Qing was shocked and looked up in horror:

"How could this be?!"

Combined with the intelligence previously sent back from the south, as well as the previous information that Xin Yaoguang rushed to Daxizhou.

A surprising guess quickly came to his mind.

Immediately afterwards, the answer given by the "ancestor" also supported his thoughts.

The demon clan made a surprise attack on Yuhang... trying to defeat the national destiny... changing the Feng Shui pattern of the Great Zhou Dynasty... Emperor Yuan Qing's face became visibly ugly.

Already on the verge of going berserk:
"Those who are not of my race have evil intentions!"

Emperor Yuan Qing almost lost his temper, and the stability of the country's destiny was directly related to his rule.

The monster clan's surprise attack this time directly touched what he cared about most.

But he still suppressed his emotions and captured the highlights:
"Has a powerful Shenzang man taken action? Has the invading enemy been defeated? Could it be Qi Hongmian?"

"Ancestor" said: "If the guess is correct, it is probably a star official."

Star officer!

Emperor Yuan Qing's expression changed and he lost his voice:
"Did Jian Zheng cross that threshold?"

The only star official he could think of who could reach Shenzang was this one, and he happened to be in Yuhang.

This speculation made him extremely worried.

In the current situation, if Qin Tianjian really rises again, he is not willing to see it.

However, the "ancestor" looked down at him and said coldly:
"Observe the sky and advance, and you will have visions of heaven and earth."

The implication is that if Jianzheng has been promoted, it is impossible for the powerful people not to know about it.

Not Jian Zheng... not Jian Zheng... Emperor Yuan Qing was confused and said:

"But he is the only powerful star official in the world. How can there be a second divine treasure? Unless the dead national master faked his corpse..."

His voice became lower and lower, because he clearly sensed the emotional changes of the "ancestor".

It was a look that said: "You can taste it yourself"...

Emperor Yuan Qing's expression changed from confusion to horror to disbelief.

He forced out a smile: "Ancestor, are you kidding..."

silence!

After a while, a voice with no hint of joy or anger came from the altar table:

"You must investigate this matter quickly and understand it clearly. The demon clan is at war again after hundreds of years, and the court must also respond. I don't need to teach you how to do it."

As he spoke, he changed the subject:
"Also, how are the arrangements for secretly transporting things to the imperial mausoleum for you?"

Emperor Yuan Qing was still in great shock.

Hearing this, he subconsciously replied:

"Everything goes well, the news from the imperial mausoleum has been blocked for a long time."

"Well, let's go."

There was a gust of wind.

The tablets rattled and shook, and Emperor Yuan Qing was blown out of the hall. He fell on the steps and saw the red door in front of him slamming shut!

Shortly after.

When the imperial guards and attendants waiting outside saw His Majesty the Emperor walking out of the Ancestral Temple, their expressions changed slightly.

Everyone could see that the emperor's face was extremely ugly, like thunder gathering but not erupting.

……

……

"Long time no see, Imperial Master... Sir!"

Outside Yuhang City, the afterglow of the setting sun illuminates the entire land, and the white snow glows with golden light.

The contemporary Buddha, wearing a dark red monk's robe, silver beads on his hand, and a wooden fish hanging from his waist, smiled kindly.

He is very old, but his cheeks are rosy and shiny, and his eyes contain great compassion, which makes people feel good about him.

Just looking carefully, there was great emotion and a hint of smile hidden in his eyes.

At this moment, he doesn't have the slightest aura of an extremely powerful man.

If it weren't for the unusual and conspicuous look in his outfit, if he had put on ordinary monk's robes, he would have looked like the most ordinary, inconspicuous old monk.

Ji Ping'an stood in the snow, looking at him calmly. There was no surprise on his face, making it impossible to guess any emotion in his heart.

Just like the sea, even if the storm is raging below the surface, the surface remains calm and calm.

"When did you come?" Ji Pingan asked softly.

His voice was a little cold.

There is no fear or nervousness that juniors have when meeting a big shot.

He didn't try to act stupid, but calmly acquiesced to the other party's title.

Lord Buddha smiled and said:

"I just arrived. After a while, my pace was a little slow, but when I saw the big movement here from a distance, I hurriedly hurriedly arrived."

As he spoke, he said with emotion:

"I haven't seen you for many years, but your majesty remains the same."

Ji Ping'an looked at him for a moment and said calmly:

"You are much older than you were then."

Of course this is not the first time the two have met, it can even be said that they are familiar with each other.

Strictly speaking, the Great Master of the Zhou Dynasty was a figure of the same era as the "Previous Buddha Lord".

And he is two hundred years younger than the latter.

When Ji Ping'an flew to the Southern Tang Dynasty as a "national master" to "discuss the Tao" with the previous Buddha who was much older than him.

Today's Buddha still carries the title of "First Buddha".His cultivation level is also stuck at the peak of observing the sky.

He is about the same age as the national master.

At that time, the two had some intersection. Although they didn't have much contact, Ji Ping'an knew at that time that this person was the successor of the next Buddha Lord.

as predicted.

After the previous generation of Buddha died, as soon as the top seat became available in the Hinayana Buddhist system, the former leader and candidate immediately entered the realm of the divine treasure.

He also became the new Buddha Lord until today.

The other party succeeded in defeating the national master, but due to fate, it was such an occasion to meet again.

Lord Buddha smiled helplessly:

"Master, don't make fun of the poor monk. As you age, you will naturally be older. How can you compare with the young people?"

Ji Ping'an said: "In the realm of Shen Zang, you can change your appearance at will. Although your life span has an end, your appearance can change freely. For example, Xin Yaoguang and Qi Hongmian are not young anymore, but they still look like they are in their 30s or [-]s. ?”

Using such a frivolous and casual tone to comment on today's powerful Shen Zang might seem arrogant, but if it were him, it would be reasonable.

Lord Buddha smiled and explained:

"What you look like is just your appearance, why should you care?"

Ji Ping'an waved:
"What bothers me the most is monks reciting sutras and talking about nonsense like appearance. That was the case then and it is still the case now."

Lord Buddha was not angry at all and said with a smile:

"This is how the national master has thoroughly read the Buddhist teachings, and the poor monk admires him. Only in this way can he break through the key points in one word and propose the Mahayana Buddhism."

Ji Pingan shook his head and said:

"There's no need to test. Isn't the purpose of sending Jingguang and the others here before to help you break the shackles with the help of Qin Tianjian? Although the method is a bit rough, the decisiveness is not bad."

not bad!
The only divine treasure in the Buddhist sect, the power is unpredictable, and the methods of the Buddha Lord at the top of Kyushu are only rated as "good" in his mouth.

This is almost demeaning.

But Lord Buddha seemed very happy and said with a smile: "How many people in Kyushu can be evaluated like this by the National Master?"

He really knew how to climb up the pole... Ji Pingan was helpless.

In his memory, the other party was a shameless character.

He knew that this was the result of his profound cultivation of Buddhism reaching a terrifying level.

After a pause, Lord Buddha changed the topic and said with emotion:

"But what the poor monk admires more is the reincarnation of the national master! Previously, the poor monk carefully searched for traces of the national master's rebirth through the Buddha's followers, but found nothing. He never expected that the reincarnation that everyone was looking for would be the reincarnation of the master. It was right in front of my eyes.

"The country boy recommended by the Imperial Preceptor turned out to be the Imperial Preceptor himself...wonderful, wonderful. It's just that the poor monk couldn't figure it out even if he tried to break his head. How on earth can he be reborn before others?

"After all, it can't be a body snatching. All of us have confirmed that your soul returned to the sea of ​​​​stars that year. Or was it already in your calculations that the stars would return to their positions? This young body was born on that day. The purpose of boarding the Shendu Star Observatory is to bring you back?

"But how can we avoid the countless gazes of the gods? Without any mistakes being noticed?
"Or is it that all of this was already in your calculations, Master National Preceptor?"

The Lord Buddha finished speaking in one breath, and his desire for knowledge was undisguised in his eyes as clear as a child.

Ji Pingan smiled and said:

"Just now, I asked the dead crow some questions, but he was not willing to answer."

The Lord Buddha sighed: "You really don't want to answer. Yes, such a big secret belongs to the poor monk Meng Lang."

Ji Pingan stared at him:
"I'm also a little confused. Dajue Temple is a long way from here, but don't say you just happened to bump into it."

Lord Buddha smiled and said:

"National Master, please don't misunderstand me. The Buddhist clan and the demon clan have nothing to do with this matter. After all, it will not be good for the Buddhist clan if the national fortunes of the Great Zhou Dynasty are broken up. It's just a whim."

On a whim?

Ji Ping'an remained silent. Obviously, the old monk did not want to give an answer.

He believed that Buddhism had little to do with the demon clan in this matter, otherwise he would have taken action before and would not have been left to resolve the crisis by himself.

But if it is a coincidence, it is absolutely impossible.

Could it be that this guy had a premonition of something?For example...his own appearance?So come here early?
The powerful people in Shenzang are far more clever than ordinary people, and they can indeed foresee some things.

Ji Ping'an had the most intuitive intuition back then.

But this time, Xin Yaoguang, Qi Hongmian and others didn't notice it. It was covered up, but Buddhism noticed it.

Ji Ping'an's heart trembled.

I feel that my evaluation of this old bald man needs to be readjusted.

"Just a whim?" Ji Ping'an asked back and said calmly, "I'm not interested in fighting with you. Just tell me your purpose. If you want to kill or behead, it's up to you."

Lord Buddha clasped his hands helplessly:
"The words of the Imperial Master are serious. I just want to ask you to come."

"Going to the Southern Tang Dynasty?" Ji Pingan asked back:

"Are you going to put me under house arrest? That's right, my identity still carries some weight. For the sake of Buddhism, you really should come."

Lord Buddha still shook his head and said in a sincere tone: "No."

Not going to Southern Tang?Ji Ping'an seemed to have a hint of interest.

Lord Buddha lowered his eyebrows and said:

"This is not the place to talk. The poor monk just wants to ask the Imperial Master to follow me to a place, that's all. As for the rest, I will naturally tell you when the time comes."

Ji Ping'an stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled:
"Is this a kidnapping?"

The old monk said seriously: "Just 'please'."

What a "please"... Ji Ping'an laughed, then his expression calmed down, and he said quietly:
"What if I don't go?"

The old monk showed compassion on his face, clasped his hands together, and said the strongest words in the gentlest tone:

"This... I'm afraid I can't help the Imperial Master."

The cold wind blew across the outskirts of the city, and the afterglow on the horizon gradually dimmed.

Ji Ping'an squinted his eyes and smiled softly after a moment: "That's fine."

Lord Buddha showed a sincere smile: "Would you like to go back to the city to say goodbye first? Take care of some trivial matters? I can wait."

Ji Ping'an said lazily: "No need."

The old monk seemed polite and showed him full respect.

But Ji Ping'an has thousands of years of experience and cannot be fooled by the other party's appearance.

It was impossible for him to forget that the harmless monk standing in front of him was one of the most terrifying old monsters in our time.

Both strength and thought are deep enough.

Every seemingly ordinary question and action of the other party may contain evil intentions.

At this time, out of caution, he was not prepared to stay.

She is even more faintly worried that her return will involve the God Emperor and Er Qing.

"as you wish."

The Lord Buddha smiled and nodded, recited the Buddha's name, then raised his hand, grabbed Ji Ping'an's arm, and then stepped forward with his monk shoes.

The two disappeared instantly and appeared thousands of feet high in the sky.

The Buddha's red monk's robe shook, and Ji Ping'an felt that countless lights and shadows were blurred in front of his eyes, the space suddenly collapsed, and a vortex appeared in front of his eyes.

The old monk grabbed him, and the two of them stepped into the whirlpool. A bridge of light across a long distance seemed to appear under their feet.

And a temporary transmission "tunnel" was built between the two spatial anchor points.

Not long after, the two walked out of the "tunnel" and appeared above a barren mountain.

Below is an "ocean" formed by countless forests. In early winter, the mountains and plains are filled with light green, yellow, and faint red.

At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun is shining in the mountain forest, and a flock of birds are flying in fright.There was no snow around.

It means that they have left the boundary of Lanzhou.

"Buddhism is indeed hypocritical. You are also in a hurry to take me away. Are you worried about being stopped by Qi Hongmian who is rushing back? Well, although I don't know what excuse the demon clan used to restrain her, she is the closest to Yu Hang after all. "

Ji Ping'an sighed softly, shook his head and said sarcastically:
"But you still pretended to be generous and asked me to go back to the city to deal with the follow-up."

Even the powerful Shen Zang has a limited speed.

Like Xin Yaoguang, it would take several hours to travel from the divine capital to Yuhang in the state of Yang Shen. Even if the Buddhist sect uses the speed of the traveler, it will not be ridiculously fast.

It's hard to distance yourself from Huofeng.

Therefore, Lord Buddha just used great magic power and even spent magic weapons to temporarily open a channel for jumping.

"The Imperial Master seems to be biased against my Buddhist sect." Lord Buddha avoided talking and changed the subject.

At this time, he also let go of his hand and walked over the mountain forest.

The crimson and eye-catching monk's clothes began to fade quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a set of ordinary clothes that were washed white.

The silver beads turned black, and the wooden fish became ordinary.

Ji Ping'an said "heh", stood with his hands behind his hands, and walked side by side with him - in the state of sitting in a well, although he could float in the air for a short time, he still relied on the old monk's magic power to walk freely at this moment.

"So, where are we now?" Ji Ping'an asked casually.
