General, there is a demon [Rebirth]

The peony flower at the corner of the table opened its leaves and shook the buds against the rising sun. Huo Changying flew away with a sharp look: "Laugh again! Pull out all your leaves!"

The peony hugged the leaves tightly and shook the flower branches unwillingly.

Huo Changying shook his head helplessly, rubbing his throbbing forehead, his cold palm was held all night, dry and warm, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, then frowned.

He just...wasn't it a little too much?

Xinchangfang, Jiming Temple.

In the royal temple in Yong'an City, all the monks in the temple chanted scriptures and waited quietly, because today the emperor will personally drive Jiming Temple to pray for the prince.

The morning bell rang, and the rites and music rang together.

The royal etiquette is lengthy and complicated. On the main hall, a group of monks tap on the wooden fish and recite Buddhist scriptures together. The huge coil of incense is filled with smoke, and the emperor burns incense to pray for blessings. Looking at the crowd, there are guards inside and outside the hall with swords, guarded and solemn.

The bones of the Buddha belonged to the Jiming Temple, where they were worshiped and chanted by the monks. After 81 days, they were entered into the forbidden center to pay respects and make offerings.

At the end of the ceremony, the emperor followed the presiding master, Master Jingxin, to the meditation room to give lectures.

The winding path leads to a secluded place, the Zen room.

Outside Xiao Duo's guard house, the Jiming Temple is built on the hillside. The meditation room is quite high and you can see the quiet mountain scenery when you open the window. When you turn to the gable wall, you can just see the Daxiong Palace at the foot of the mountain and the faintly visible stupa in the distance...

Suddenly, a pair of figures appeared near the stupa. They looked like monks in appearance, but their actions were treacherous and not as calm as monks. Xiao Duo frowned. It's like a wooden box bound with yellow talismans!

Xiao Duo's nerves tensed immediately, he followed the group of "monks" closely, and ordered Zhao Cheng to protect the emperor, Zhao Cheng solemnly agreed, Xiao Duo flew after him without disturbing the other guards.

Followed to the back mountain, Xiao Duo frowned, the muscles in the back were tense, the general hummed as if he was about to get out of his sheath, the terrain of the back mountain was complicated, if people entered, it would be like disappearing into the sea, and it would be even more difficult to find.

suddenly.

Someone grabbed his arm vigorously, and Xiao Duo slapped him back.

The person behind him turned around deftly, seeing the long sword rushing towards him, he bent his waist back sharply, and turned sideways to avoid the sword's edge skillfully.

Sword Qi whizzed past, and the white gauze cap was taken off by the sword Qi. The man chuckled, with lazy sarcasm in his peach blossom eyes, it was Huo Changying.

"Eldest baby!"

Xiao Duo leaned back, withdrew his sword energy abruptly, returned the sword into the sheath with his backhand, hurriedly stepped forward to hold Huo Changying, frowned and asked in a low voice: "It's dangerous here, why are you here?"

Huo Changying was dressed in moon-white light fur, with long hair in half a bundle, and his slender index finger made a silent movement around his raised lips, with a slack and contented appearance like a leisurely oriole behind a praying mantis.

Xiao Duo frowned puzzled.

"The one that that person took away was the one I had dropped earlier, in other words," Huo Changying raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's——a fake."

Spread out the frozen red palm, in the palm is a wooden box bound with yellow talismans!

It was extremely cold in the midwinter mountains, Xiao Duo suddenly became sullen.

After the heavy snow, the snow in the mountains has not yet melted.

The cold wind blows, and there is a burst of icy breath of crushed snow and mud.

Xiao Duo stared at the red palms from the cold, and when he looked up, he saw Huo Changying's pale complexion, with the tip of his nose red from the cold, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile as he raised his chin slightly, as if... a little smug.

"Why, are you stunned by my master's ingenious calculations?" Seeing Xiao Duo's silence, Huo Changying looked at him with a snort and raised eyebrows.

Xiao Duo frowned, his voice seemed to contain suppressed anger: "Didn't I let you have a good rest?" It's so cold in the mountains...

The man's sword eyebrows were frowned, and his cold and tough face was even more serious at this moment.

An inexplicable anger surged in Huo Changying's heart, he flipped his palms and put away the wooden box, humming and laughing mockingly: "A dignified man, can it be that he can only stay in the back house like a boudoir girl?"

Fortunately, he felt a little guilty for the first time this morning, so he came here to take a look, but he didn't expect this person to... Humph!

Seeing Huo Changying angry, Xiao Duo subconsciously slowed down his tone: "No."

"It's nothing," Huo Changying sneered, "General, don't forget that 'Miss Chang' is for convenience,"

Seeing Xiao Duo's unnatural expression, Huo Changying suddenly felt teasing again, and leaned closer to Xiao Duo's ear, staring sideways at the corner of the man's tight lips and chuckling: "It's not really for——to marry you."

The warm breath sprayed on the pinnae, Xiao Duo's ears turned red immediately, and he frowned uncomfortably and rubbed his fingers.

Huo Changying silently raised the corners of his lips, and for a moment, he hid his teasing smile and said seriously: "Actually, when you said that it was destroyed by the emperor's order that day, I guessed it..."

"—Catch the assassin!"

The loud shouts instantly awakened the entire Jiming Temple.

The loud and sharp shouts of the servants in the palace instantly alarmed the tense Jiming Temple.

The sounds of swords being pulled out, and the sound of metal armor rubbing against each other, one after another.

Xiao Duo frowned, and held Huo Changying's wrist: "There is something wrong with the emperor, I'll go and see, you,"

"Don't worry," Huo Changying shook the folding fan, and said nonchalantly, "I have a way to avoid it."

Xiao Duo looked at him worriedly, and ran quickly to the Zen room.

Picking up the underground hood, Huo Changying casually put it on, and stared at Xiao Duo's leaving back with a pair of peach eyes under the white gauze, thoughtfully.

Outside the meditation room, the exchange of weapons was a mess, mixed with the crying of young monks from time to time.

And in the meditation room, sandalwood is lingering when you are free.

On the Maitreya couch of huanghuali, there is a small table with a chessboard on it.

The two of them held the chess piece safely and leisurely, except for the outside of the chessboard - a red feather arrow nailed straight to the table in the middle of the two of them!

The emperor held the black chess piece, and with a "slap", half of the white pieces were eaten away, blocking the white piece's life, and said with a smile: "The master is different from your senior brother, he knows how to give up."

Master Jingxin smiled kindly, "The poor monk doesn't only understand 'giving up'."

Slowly falling down, Bai Zifeng, who had been in a state of turmoil, turned around and suddenly became alive again.

The emperor snorted and twirled the sunspot in his hand: "The most happy thing is..."

boom--

The door of the meditation room was suddenly pushed open, and the guards with knives hula la filed in, guarding both sides.

A person walked quickly in the middle, dressed in black brocade clothes, carrying a general's long sword, strode to Maitreya's couch and knelt on one knee.

"The escort Xiao Duo came late!"

pat-

The sunspots fell and suppressed the whites. At the same time, they also checked and balanced the momentum of the blacks to devour the whites, and finally came to a draw.

The emperor rubbed the black and white chess pieces in his hands as usual, and the jade rubbed against each other making a harsh sound.

Master Jingxin clasped his hands together and smiled: "Amitabha." His eyes were slightly narrowed under his long white eyebrows, and his chubby face smiled extraordinarily festively.

The emperor raised his eyes to look at Master Jingxin, the corners of his slender and wrinkled eyes slightly raised, "Right now, Jiming Temple will probably be clean for a few days, I feel very guilty."

Master Jingxin had a peaceful expression, slowly recited a sentence of the Buddha's name, and said with a nonchalant smile: "It is a blessing that the monks in the temple can still have morning classes tomorrow. For these blessings, I have the right to pray for the prince."

"Hahaha!" The emperor stared at Master Jingxin who was singing Buddha with lower eyebrows and laughed loudly: "Master is really refreshing!"

Before he could finish his sentence, his expression changed, and the chess piece in his hand was thrown into the chess basket with a "crack".

The emperor got up and strode out of the meditation room: "I have passed on my will, Jiming Temple neglected the holy driver, neglected to take precautions, and caused the assassins to disturb the Tian family. Therefore, the title of the royal temple was seized, and the imperial army was under martial law to search for the assassins in the whole temple!"
