What bad intentions can a temple blessing have?

Chapter 439: Meeting the Empress, treated differently?
heaven.

The Great Heavenly Lord is sitting in the Lingxiao Palace. There is no one in the entire hall, only the supreme being is closing his eyes and meditating.

He seemed to be waiting for something.

"tread"

Crisp footsteps sounded.

The Great Heavenly Lord also opened his eyes, looked in the direction of the sound, and smiled slightly.

At some point, a figure appeared in the empty space.

It looks ordinary, without even a trace of spiritual energy, just like the most common mortal.

"How long can you stay here?"

The Great Heavenly Lord asked with a smile.

"Too much interference."

The Great Heavenly Lord nodded and said with a smile: "That's at least a hundred breaths."

Still so confident and proud.

"Although it's boring, I still have to say what needs to be said."

'Jiang Qi' shook his head helplessly and said: "Previously, you revealed something to me now, which brought me great pressure."

He closed his eyes slightly and looked calm, not knowing what he was thinking.

'Jiang Qi' said distressedly.

"I will."

The small world of Jie Qi, the female country of Xiliang.

'Jiang Qi' smiled and expressed relief.

"Fifty breaths."

'Jiang Qi' shook his head and smiled confidently: "I am confident in myself. This will always be the case in the past, present and future."

"Ugh"

Great Heavenly Lord was once again left alone in the huge Lingxiao Hall.

After a long time, a sigh sounded in Lingxiao Palace.

"How can I help you?"

It's Jiang Qi, but not Jiang Qi.

"Although this trip has a price, it must be done."

To be precise, it is the future Jiang Qi.

Just like when I was young.

The Great Heavenly Lord asked with some doubts.

The Great Heavenly Lord looked a little stunned, looking at the high-spirited Taoist, even though he had spanned thousands of years, he was still shining brightly.

The Great Heavenly Lord asked directly without any nonsense.

Or to put it another way, the Great Heavenly Lord when he was in Haotian Tower did not meet the future Jiang Qi, but the future Great Heavenly Lord met Jiang Qi in the even further future.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"The way of time is so unfathomable that even you in the future are so reluctant to use this method of converting effects into causes?"

The man blinked helplessly, his figure completely clear.

The Great Heavenly Lord is pouring out the cause and effect, so 'Jiang Qi' must also pour out the cause and effect in the near future, that is, at this moment.

In fact, when he was in Haotian Tower before, the Great Heavenly Lord said that he had seen Jiang Qi in the future, not before, but in the future as he saw it at that time, that is, at this point in time.

The Great Heavenly Lord smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I always think that if you do more things now, you will be able to relax more in the future."

"Cause and effect are crucial."

The Great Heavenly Lord also nodded seriously.

"This junior comes here just to complete the cause and effect, but he can't stay for as long as a hundred breaths."

In this way, the cycle of this time circle is sewn together.

Within the palace.

The man replied with a smile.

"Each era has its own things to do, and you can't rush for quick success."

The prime minister didn't care about his manners at all, holding his skirt with both hands, and striding across the steps with his slender legs, not caring about the happy couple.

Then, watching 'Jiang Qi' salute deeply to him, his figure gradually disappeared.

"old."

'Jiang Qi' said seriously: "Please tell me now."

Her face was flushed and she looked excited. Firstly, she was tired, and secondly, she was ashamed.

As soon as she thought of the startling glance of the Taoist in red in front of the post house, her mind swayed.

He ran all the way to the main hall and then stopped. Before the emperor could speak, he said in a sweet voice: "The human race is coming!"

"A Buddhist pilgrim from the Eastern Tang Dynasty is here!"

"Oh?"

The empress who was sitting on the throne raised her head slightly and said with a smile: "She is just a seeker, so she makes Aiqing lose her composure like this?"

"Although no man has ever visited our country since the founding of the country, there have been travel notes and pictures circulated. Aiqing is also a well-educated scholar and knows more about men and women."

"You shouldn't be so rude."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

The Prime Minister took a deep breath, his cheeks turned slightly red, and said, "The Buddhist scripture seeker is worthy of being an eminent monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty. He is a great virtuous person who went to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures for the sake of the people."

"When I look at the Buddhist scripture collector, he looks haggard and has a sad look on his face. When he walks, every step is as heavy as a rock. I'm afraid he is of the lineage of practicing ascetics. Such a great virtuous man should be treated as such, regardless of his status as an eminent monk from the East. Treat each other with courtesy.”

"Really? Just like that?"

The empress smiled slightly and suddenly lost part of her interest in the Buddhist monk.

No matter how hard you practice asceticism, it is all for the Eastern Tang Dynasty. What does it have to do with my Western Liang Female Kingdom?
Treating each other with courtesy is to treat each other with courtesy. Such virtuous and eminent monks should indeed be respected, but they only need to be respected.

It's definitely not as bad as if the Prime Minister had taken Chunfeng Powder.

"If it's just like this, I can receive it myself. What's great is that when the customs clearance documents are changed, please take the time to see my emperor again."

"But apart from the four people in the group of pilgrims, there is another one!"

At this point, the blush on the prime minister's cheeks that had just faded started to turn red again.

"There is another one? What is his origin? Who is he from?"

The empress asked with great interest, knowing in her heart that she was afraid that it was this person who made her prime minister so distracted.

"He is a Taoist, an indescribable Taoist."

The Prime Minister took a deep breath, his voice became softer unconsciously, and he whispered softly: "This real person is a Qigong practitioner from Yuquan Mountain in China. He came to the Western Liang Women's Kingdom by chance."

"Fate?"

The empress became even more interested, thought for a moment, stood up, and said with a smile: "Since it is a holy monk from the East who is visiting with a real person, I must not miss it."

"My dear, please open the Chengdu Hall. I will summon the holy monks and real people now."

"According to the order."

The Prime Minister nodded quickly and walked out of the hall with light steps.

In fact, the work of running errands and announcing decrees is not a trivial task that the prime minister should do anyway, but this prime minister rushed to do it.

Without him, just because I can see the real man in red again as soon as possible.

For the first time, the Prime Minister did not take the imperial edict seriously, scrawled it down, rolled it up and headed straight to the inn.

He rode very fast all the way, and didn't bother to tidy up his appearance until he got close.

After taking care of herself, the female prime minister cleared her throat and said softly to the inn: "Master Jiang, my emperor's decree has arrived~"

"squeak"

Not long after, the door of the posthouse opened, and a Taoist man dressed in red, handsome and elegant, stepped out, looking like a orchid and a jade tree, and nodded slightly to the prime minister.

"For foreigners, please forgive me if it is inconvenient for you to kneel down and worship."

"No wonder, no wonder, it's not a big deal."

Just listening to the real person's speech made the female prime minister's bones soften half of the time. She didn't care about so many things, let alone why Tang Shengseng didn't come out to receive the order.

She trembled a little as she opened the imperial edict in her hand and read out, "In compliance with the order of my emperor, I invite the Immortal Master and the Holy Monk to come to the Chenghui Hall to pay their respects."

In fact, the imperial edict should not be so simple, but how could the person who wrote this edict not put his mind on this at all?
"I dare to ask the real person, where is Elder Tang?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity of conversation, the female prime minister came to a position two feet away from Jiang Zhenren and asked softly under the slightly jealous eyes of all the soldiers.

Jiang Qi smiled and said: "Elder has worked hard all the way and is really sleepy. He thought he fell asleep."

"Hmm, it turns out he fell asleep."

The female prime minister nodded perfunctorily. She didn't care what Elder Tang did, she just wanted to find a place to talk to the real person.

"But it's not okay to sleep. I have to wake him up and go to see our emperor together."

"Master, how are you?" The female prime minister had charming eyes and a sweet smile. She only regretted that she didn't have time to use the best makeup, and she didn't know if the minor flaws on her face would be seen by the real person.

"But it's up to the prime minister to make the decision."

Jiang Qi smiled and nodded.

"Okay, come here, wake up Elder Tang. Elder is a distinguished guest. You must not be neglectful, be cautious, and must not be rude. Do you understand?"

The female prime minister turned around and ordered, just saying "Stop shouting slowly, it doesn't matter how long it takes".

Anyway, the empress didn't give a specific time. If you delay a little longer, you can spend more time with the real person. This is the most important thing.

The female prime minister thought happily.

Unfortunately, the female generals moved very quickly. Perhaps the Prime Minister's behavior of "eating alone" offended the public. After a while, the Prime Minister dragged the sick Elder Tang out with an annoyed look on his face.

These girls are so ignorant!

The prime minister cursed in his heart, but he did not dare to be rude in front of the real person, so he could only smile and said: "Master, holy monk, please."

On the way to the palace, it can be said that it is crowded and crowded.

If it weren't for the soldiers to maintain order, I'm afraid the country would have been blocked by the crazy daughter-in-law.

Fierce gazes fell on the real person.

Jiang Zhenren was already very handsome, a man among the gods, but there was a monk next to him who had a pale complexion, dark circles under his eyes, a hunched back, and a sluggish expression.

This time, Jiang Zhenren looked as noble and handsome as a lotus flower.

"Elder, how are you?"

Jiang Qi turned a blind eye to those lines of sight and looked at Tang Sanzang aside.

"Amitabha."

Tang Sanzang spoke with a vibrato, obviously he had not recovered from his collapse.

Ordinary women have to cultivate for at least one month after having an abortion. Now Tang Sanzang is almost the same. It can even be said that Tang Sanzang's Buddhism is profound if he can walk on the ground.

"It's nothing serious."

"The elder doesn't seem to be in any serious condition, why don't you take a break?"

Jiang Qi raised his eyebrows and asked softly.

Tang Sanzang was a little moved when he heard this, but after seeing the customs clearance document in his hand, he still shook his head firmly.

"It is most important to meet the Lord of Xiliang Kingdom and exchange the customs clearance documents. Our Lord has entrusted us with the important task of obtaining scriptures. How can we waste time because of physical discomfort?"

Jiang Qi blinked and stopped talking.

It should not be said that before Tang Sanzang achieved enlightenment, although he had many minor problems, he really believed that obtaining the true scriptures would not only repay Tang Taizong for his kindness in knowing and encountering him, but also have the power to save all sentient beings. .

What can I do?

During the great kalpa of traveling to the west, obtaining the sutras is only a process, and traveling to the east is also a process. The great rise of Buddhism is the result.

Under this result, the once-important scripture seeker is nothing more than a sandalwood merit Buddha placed on a lotus platform and worshiped by all living beings.

Buddhism also has a saying about Suhui. After awakening from Suhui, Sanzang of the Tang Dynasty achieved enlightenment and became a Buddha and ancestor while sitting on a lotus platform. His merits seemed to be complete.

But was Tang Sanzang really still Tang Sanzang at that time?

Jiang Qi prefers to call the Sandalwood Buddha the Golden Chanzi.

Thinking about irrelevant things, when Jiang Qi raised his head again, he was already in front of the Chenghui Hall.

One of the guards shouted: "Xuan Yuquan Shanjiang Zhenren, Tripitaka, the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty, comes to see you!"

Hearing this, Jiang Qi motioned to Tang Sanzang to see if he needed help.

It was noon now, and the sun was at its strongest. Tang Sanzang was so exposed to the sun that his already exhausted body began to sweat again, tut tsk.

But Tang Sanzang still shook his head and followed Jiang Qi into the hall with perseverance.

In the hall, the female ministers of the Xiliang Kingdom were lined up on both sides. On the high throne, a female emperor sat.

Jiang Qi walked leisurely, and when he came closer, he raised his hand and saluted, "Jiang Qi, a poor man, has met the king."

After saluting, Tang Sanzang on the side was stunned.

I saw the empress: her eyebrows were like green feathers and her muscles were like mutton fat. The face is lined with peach petals, and the servant girl is piled with golden phoenix silk. The autumn waves are enchanting and the spring bamboo shoots are slender and enchanting. The oblique red gauze is colorful, and the high hairpin is emerald and bright. It is said that Zhaojun's beauty is indeed better than that of Xishi.

Especially those pair of water-cut eyes made Tang Sanzang unable to help but lose consciousness.

"Get up."

The empress spoke, and Tang Sanzang woke up. He lowered his head in panic and recited the Heart Sutra silently.

Tang Sanzang didn't notice that the empress' voice was a little dull.

Just as Tang Sanzang was looking at the empress, the empress was also looking at Tang Sanzang and Jiang Qi next to him.

I saw that the red-clothed Taoist Priest had a peerless grace and grace, and he did not look like an ordinary person in the world, but he still had a certain amount of worldly aura.

For a moment, the empress was also fascinated by it.

"cough."

It wasn't until the prime minister next to her coughed that the empress came back to her senses and straightened her posture.

"You two are high-ranking monks of the Qing Dynasty and eminent monks of great virtue. Now that you have come to our country of women in the Western Liang Dynasty, I should treat you with courtesy."

The empress spoke mechanically, but her eyes fell faintly on Jiang Qi, and she was unwilling to move away.

Tang Sanzang didn't know why, but he felt a surge of jealousy in his heart and stepped forward with the pass in his hand.

"Your Majesty, the poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the east. On the orders of the Emperor of Tang, he went to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. Today I am passing through your country. I would like to ask the Lord to exchange the customs clearance document for the poor monk."

"The poor monk who loves to teach continues to go west."

After saying that, a maid came forward, ready to receive the customs clearance document.

However, the empress stopped her with words.

What an ignorant monk, the customs clearance documents can be changed at any time, why should he come out to cause trouble at this time?
The empress has learned that the reason why the monk looks like a consumption ghost at the moment is the sequelae of drinking water from the Zimu River and having the baby aborted with the help of Zhenren Jiang.

I was annoyed that he interrupted me to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and said angrily, "The document is too precious to be handed over by false hands. Please ask the holy monk to hand it over in person, and I will stamp it now."

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang took a step subconsciously, but after taking this step, his feet felt weak. If he hadn't insisted on holding on to the dignity of an eminent monk and the etiquette of a great country, he would have collapsed at this moment.

But even so, it was already a breach of etiquette before the emperor. Although the small country of Xiliang could not punish the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty, the teasing looks in his eyes still made Tang Sanzang panic.

Bitter!

Just when Tang Sanzang felt bitter in his heart, there was a light movement in his hand.

The customs clearance document has already reached Zhenren Jiang's hands.

Jiang Qi smiled and said: "The elder is ill and cannot move around. How about I let the poor man do the work for me?"

Before Tang Sanzang could speak, the empress who was on the throne could not wait to speak: "Both of you are real cultivators outside the country, so naturally it is not a violation of the rules, so the real person will present it on your behalf."

Hearing this, Tang Sanzang felt even more bitter for some reason.

Jiang Qi stepped forward with the customs clearance document in hand.

The empress looked calm, but her heart became more and more excited, mixed with a little bit of nervousness.

Closer, closer.

"Master, please use the seal."

Jiang Qi stopped in front of the imperial court and handed over the customs clearance document.

"it is good."

The empress nodded as if dreaming, took out the seal mechanically, and stamped it slowly.

At the moment when the seal was about to fall, the empress even felt a little lost.

Because Jiang Zhenren wanted to take away the document and stay away from him again.

At this moment, the empress hopes so much that this customs clearance document belongs to Jiang Zhenren, so as long as she holds it, Jiang Zhenren will not be able to leave.

and many more!

When there was no time to spare, the empress suddenly removed the seal.

She suddenly thought that since Zhenren Jiang came with the pilgrims, it was because he had a predestined relationship in the Western Liang Women's Kingdom.

But it is also possible that they will leave with the pilgrims.

Although the possibility is unlikely, don’t take any chances!
This seal cannot be sealed, at least not now!
Thinking of this, the empress put down the seal and said with a normal expression: "I was rude and almost forgot to hold a banquet."

After saying that, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he ordered: "Come, hold a banquet in the imperial garden to entertain the real people and the holy monks."

The empress reluctantly added the word "holy monk".

"Yes."

The Prime Minister immediately understood what His Majesty was thinking and immediately agreed.

The empress' order was naturally followed by no one, and a banquet was quickly held in the imperial garden.

"Ma'am, please take a seat."

Among the fragrant flowers, the empress smiled sweetly, with only the real figure in her beautiful eyes.

"The king please."

Jiang Qi smiled and nodded, and was about to sit down when his expression suddenly changed.

"boom!!"

A demonic wind suddenly arises!
