[Legend of the White Snake] Leifeng Pagoda

55

When Qingling came out, what she saw was Li Zhen writing there.

This is the only way to get in and out of the secret room, so Qingling must pass through the Daming Palace when she comes out.

What she didn't expect was that she thought Li Zhen was still lying there, so it would be very smooth for her to go out.

But I didn't expect that Li Zhen would wake up so quickly, and when she came out, what she heard was a burst of laughter?

Zhao Guizhen is dead, what is he proud of?

Li Chen didn't expect that he would see Qingling come out of the secret room.

To be precise, he forgot about it. He only cared about surviving the thunder disaster, but he forgot about Qingling and Yuxi.

Li Chen probably thought that Qingling had died in the thunder calamity, just like Zhao Guizhen, she had disappeared completely.

"Why are you here? Could it be that Zhao Guizhen is still alive?" Li Chen didn't expect to see Qing Ling, and his eyes widened a little.

Qingling couldn't understand Li Chen's arrogance as an emperor, so she frowned, and for the sake of providing the jade seal, she still explained: "He has died under the thunder calamity."

If Li Chen hadn't finished his mission, he would have disappeared into the world just like Zhao Guizhen.

Qingling can't understand how lucky it is for a mortal to survive the thunder disaster, especially Li Zhen is still the emperor. Under the healing of the light of reception, Li Chen has already attributed the changes in his body to the fact that he is a real dragon The emperor is here.

Indeed, if Li Zhenru was not the emperor, he would not be alive, even if he was dying.

When Li Chen heard that Zhao Guizhen was really dead, he was also relieved. The Taoist priest who tried to use him as a human shield was finally dead, so he could feel more at ease.

But Li Chen didn't let down his vigilance because of this. He glanced around, but still didn't find his jade seal, so he asked nervously: "Where did you put Zhen's jade seal?"

Imperial jade seal?In the secret room, it has been completely destroyed.

Qingling didn't want to explain this way, but in the blink of an eye, she thought of a better way to explain this problem.

"Even people are dead..."

She only spoke half of what she said, but it made Li Chen seem to understand that Zhao Guizhen died under the thunder disaster, and Yuxi had no bones left.

Li Chen naturally thought so, and would not have thought that Qing Ling had taken the jade seal away.

That's right, it's not easy for her to survive such a thunder disaster, let alone get the jade seal.

Li Chen quickly understood what Qingling wanted him to understand, nodded, but continued to ask: "What are you doing there? Without the jade seal, you can't get the dragon bone at all."

He has long known that the key to the dragon bone is hidden in the jade seal. This is a royal secret, a secret that is not even written down, and has been passed down from generation to generation among emperors.

The problem of Yuxi is solved, and the problem of dragon bones should also be freed from suspicion.

Qingling's mind turned quickly, and she immediately wanted the corresponding answer.

"The thunder disaster that day was not an accident."

So, it was the dragon skeleton that changed, causing the thunder calamity, so Zhao Gui really wanted to die, and it became a matter of the dragon skeleton.

Qingling's faint explanation did not lie at all, but it was able to guide Li Chen to automatically make up the answer she gave.

In this way, Li Chen understood what happened to the thunder calamity that day. It turned out to be the case, no wonder there was a thunder disaster suddenly.

However, could it be that the dragon bones in the secret room disappeared?

Thinking of this possibility, Li Chen couldn't sit still immediately, and went directly into the secret room. If this is the case, does it mean that the dragon bone is related to the changes that happened to him, so it was because of the dragon bone that he was able to Those who survived the thunder disaster, because of the changes in the dragon bones, were born because of him!

Li Chen automatically made up a complete version of the story Qing Ling made up with his brain. Qing Ling didn't pay attention to how strange Li Zhen's brain circuit was, but she didn't pay attention to seeing him rushing into the secret room.

It's just that her gaze was attracted by the scroll that Li Chan put aside. It was this scroll that Li Chan wrote so hard just now.

Qingling knew exactly when Li Chan would die, and the way of heaven would lead Li Chan to complete his mission within the due time.

Could it be that this mission is the one in front of me?

Qingling walked over and picked up the scroll on the table. The words and sentences inside made her think deeply.

It seems that the Buddhist extermination operation is about to start. Qingling thought about it, and Jinshan Temple's status in Buddhism is also very important for such a serious move. Fahai really cannot escape this time.

In any case, before the emperor gave the order, she had to go back to Jinshan Temple to inform Fa Hai of the matter, so that he could make up his mind quickly.

Thinking of this, Qingling did not hesitate to arrange the scrolls in their original places, and left the palace decisively as if she hadn't seen anything.

Zhao Guizhen's matter has been settled, she also got what she wanted, this trip was not in vain, and when she left, she did not show any nostalgia.

And when the dragon skeleton that Li Chen really saw disappeared, he stood there blankly, feeling the remaining pressure in the air.

After all, the dragon bones have existed here for hundreds of years, and the smell is still very strong. Li Chen can also feel it clearly, especially when the aura in his body reacts because of this breath, Li Chen also automatically makes up his mind to become that The dragon bones are on him.

Sure enough, Li Chen was convinced that he was the emperor of the real dragon, and no one could interfere with him anymore.

With his country, the Tang Dynasty can last for a long time. Li Chen can already see a bright future, and he directly ignores Qingling's departure. What he is looking at now is his throne and his country.

However, the long history of the Tang Dynasty was not as long as Li Chen imagined, and it could last for hundreds of thousands of years or even thousands of years and generations. The remaining dragon energy was only enough to last for 60 years.

The distance between Jinshan Temple and the imperial palace took only one day during Qingling's constant wind and rain. Her cultivation has improved a lot compared to before, and it took her a lot less time.

When stepping into the Jinshan Temple, facing the long stairs, Qing Ling slowed down and started to walk up the stairs little by little like an ordinary person.

Every time Qing Ling looked up, she could feel Fa Hai's gaze, just like his usual, whether she was taking a nap in the bamboo forest, or she was going for a walk down the mountain, Fa Hai always focused his gaze on her, never changed.

No matter how slow Qing Ling walked this section of the road, she still came to the end. Looking at Fa Hai who was still sitting on the rock, she couldn't help laughing.

When she left, Fahai sat here and watched her leave. Now, when she came back, he still sat here and watched her come back.

Now Fa Hai is like a wife-watching stone, unmoved by wind and rain, always looking at the distance and waiting for her.

"I'm back." Fahai was a little surprised to see Qingling smile, especially when he sensed Qingling's aura that was different from the past, he said with certainty: "Is Daming Palace fun?"

There is nowhere else this dragon energy exists except in the Daming Palace, Fa Hai has already confirmed that Qing Ling has dealt with Zhao Guizhen.

"Well, I stole the dragon bone." Qing Ling walked a few steps forward, right in front of Fa Hai, and said it very casually, as if it was an ordinary trivial matter.

This kind of tone really made Fahai helpless. Seeing the person he was thinking of was in front of him, he was not polite, stood up directly, hugged Qingling into his arms, and felt the same as before. different breath.

"It's really come back with a new body. I should be glad that you didn't snatch the throne from others and become the queen?" Fa Hai spoke next to Qingling's ear, and his breath sprayed on Qingling's cochlea.

Even if Qing Ling didn't explain the details, Fa Hai understood that the dragon skeleton had been integrated into her body.

This is the first time that Qingling has been in such close contact with Fahai. The temperature on the snake's body is very cold. Holding her like this makes Qingling feel a little warm.

Especially the holy lotus in the body, when it touched Fa Hai's body, the holy lotus turned faster and seemed to be very excited, this warmth made Qingling squint her eyes comfortably.

Qingling naturally didn't care about Fahai's teasing. After thinking about it, Qingling recalled Li Chen's daily work and rest, and said seriously: "That chair is uncomfortable." It said it had cushions, but it wasn't actually soft. It was for the emperor to sit upright, instead of just lying there without a posture.

Well, in addition to this, there are some, for example, "The food is not as good as your cooking."

What Qingling misses most these days is the food cooked by Fa Hai, which can also make her full. In comparison, what Li Chen feeds her is really too little.

So, she just came back?Fa Hai hugged Qingling even tighter, and when he came back from the palace, the first thing he wanted to go back to was not Bai Suzhen's side, but his place, which made Fa Hai very satisfied.

Qingling went down the mountain because of Bai Suzhen, had to deal with people like Xu Xuan because of Bai Suzhen, and had to go to Gusu City because of Bai Suzhen. All these made Fa Hai feel sour. Women compete for favor.

"Then I'll cook it for you." Fa Hai smiled when he heard that Qingling wanted to eat his cooking. These days, he was sitting on a rock with the image of an eminent monk, and in front of Qingling he could be regarded as All ruined.

Qing Ling thought about holding Fa Hai and eating, and decisively kicked Fa Hai away, "Go."

She was hungry, and after a day's driving, she was so hungry that she could wait another day for the problem of hugging.

After Shenglian in Qingling's body couldn't feel Fahai's breath, she couldn't help shaking and protesting, but Qingling ignored it.

Fa Hai also felt that he was ignored by Qing Ling, and he could only sigh helplessly when he saw Qing Ling's straightforward actions, so he still wanted to compete with the food?

When Qingling came back from the palace this time, Fahai felt more and more that she had a powerful queen temperament, so he became the queen's male favorite, and this cooking became his means of fighting for favor?

This idea was resolutely eliminated by Fa Hai, he should be the king no matter what, well, there is no harem, no competition for favor.

Fa Hai cooked very fast, as if he had been waiting for Qing Ling to come back, so he didn't keep Qing Ling waiting.

After all the things he did, Qingling was very applauded, she started to drink the wine poured by Fa Hai, and began to chat about the important reason why she came back this time.

"I see that the emperor has written the imperial decree and is about to order the Buddha to be destroyed."

Qing Ling looked at Fa Hai, obviously urging Fa Hai to make a quick decision.

Only then did Fa Hai understand why Qingling came here, and it didn't hinder his good mood, so he nodded.

He knew what the emperor would do. He had connections. The emperor had just ordered Pei Xiu to be imprisoned. It didn't take long for him to know the information.

He is also very clear about what the emperor will do next, and there is not much time left for him to think.

"Jinshan Temple, I must keep it." Pei Xiu's matter was settled, and Pei Xiu's matter had nothing to do with him as early as when he said to sever ties with Fa Hai.

So no matter what happened to him now, Fa Hai didn't care at all. He and Pei Xiu didn't have any feelings in the first place.

However, Fa Hai has not been able to sever his relationship with Jinshan Temple. He must try his best to keep Jinshan Temple in this event of extermination of Buddha.

Qingling had expected this answer a long time ago, and she didn't expect Fa Hai to throw it all away, just like she didn't ignore Bai Suzhen's affairs even though she was disappointed with Bai Suzhen, because Bai Suzhen saved her, so Qingling never felt Bai Suzhen Very troublesome.

Everything, including her and Xu Xuan, is just a tribulation. Qingling didn't really regard it as love like Bai Suzhen did. On the contrary, Qingling envied Bai Suzhen very much. It is precisely because of Bai Suzhen's simple mind that the calamity is so simple , as long as she crosses this catastrophe, she will also be able to achieve great enlightenment and ascend to immortality.

"So, what are you going to do?"

Qingling was thinking, the emperor would definitely not dare to demolish the entire Jinshan Temple, even if he wanted to destroy the Buddha, he would not really dare to arouse the anger of the public, make things thorough, and not leave others a way out, that would only force the dogs Jump over the wall.

Since Jinshan Temple will not be completely demolished, to what extent Fahai said to keep Jinshan Temple, and how he will do it, Qingling wants to ask clearly.

If Fahai really wanted to preserve the entire Jinshan Temple, at worst she would go to trouble and wash Li Chen's mind. As for cause and effect, for Qingling, the doom was just getting harder and harder to overcome.

Fahai held his head and looked at Qingling with a smile. Now Qingling really regards his affairs as his own. She really thinks about him, and even plans to help him all over the place.

This feeling seems to be good, Fa Hai likes that Qing Ling takes care of him, and as for eating soft rice, Fa Hai said that Qing Ling likes to eat the meals he cooks.

"I just think it's time for me to retire and return home."

These days, Fa Hai already knows what he should do, and he doesn't hide his thoughts from Qing Ling.

Retire and return home?retire?Qing Ling raises her eyebrows, so Fa Hai is already planning to give up the post of abbot of Jinshan Temple?

Thinking about it carefully, this is really a good idea. After all, Fa Hai is Pei Xiu's son, and this relationship cannot be separated, especially in the eyes of the emperor.

Even if Fa Hai left Jinshan Temple, Jinshan Temple would no longer be a thorn in the emperor's eyes.

However, without the protection of the abbot of Jinshan Temple this time, the emperor might not let Fahai go so easily.

"I'm afraid it's hard to leave." Qing Ling didn't believe it, the emperor just let Fa Hai resign as soon as he said he would, and with his paranoia, it was impossible for Fa Hai to retire unscathed.

Fa Hai naturally knew this. As the abbot of Jinshan Temple, he could retire, but Pei Xiu's son was not so easy to get rid of.

"What do you think about the golden cicada getting out of its shell?" Fa Hai was always smiling, anyway, he was tired of these messy things, and after the calamity, he stayed by Qingling's side, which was what he was happy for.

Qing Ling quickly understood Fa Hai's thoughts, her eyes lit up, it was indeed good, this move could not only free Fa Hai from the interference of the secular world, but also preserve his reputation as the abbot of Jinshan Temple.

It seems that she doesn't need to intervene in this matter, or even destroy the cause and effect. In this way, things can go on smoothly, and Li Zhen will soon go to see his eternal life.

"I've even thought about the next abbot, the Faxin you saw last time."

Fa Hai knew that Qingling must have an impression, and Jinshan Temple, for them, had a lot of memories from the time they met.

The cultivation of Fa Xin was also carried on to the end by Fa Hai after Qingling left. Now Fa Hai only needs to disappear at the right time to complete this calamity and let go completely.

Then his entrustment to the strict law can be regarded as completed.

Qingling naturally has an impression of such a character, um, a person who is more than conservative but not pioneering.

When we met for the first time, didn't Faxin not stop Fahai's actions, so that Qingling could eat Shenglian smoothly!

Such a character can indeed reassure the emperor.

Qingling nodded. Sure enough, Fa Hai and Bai Suzhen were different. Comparing the dooms of the two, Qingling couldn't help but look forward to her own doom. Maybe it would take time. She was not in a hurry, and waited slowly. Her doom has come.

"So, next I will be an unknown holy monk, please don't dislike me." Fa Hai saw that Qing Ling was wandering, and said with a bit of teasing.

The matter on Fa Hai's side was settled, but Qing Ling couldn't rest assured on Bai Suzhen's side. Hearing Fa Hai's words, the corners of her mouth inevitably curled up.

"I only despise your cooking skills."

In other words, Qing Ling was only worried about her own food, this statement made Fa Hai feel a little inexplicably sad.

Could it be that in Qingling's eyes, he was already equal to the cook?This is not possible, it seems that he still has a long way to go.

The act of exterminating Buddha, under Li Chen's strong admiration, this storm directly spread to all parts of the country.

The monk's robes that could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys also disappeared, replaced by Taoist robes and commoner clothes.

Three days later, Li Qi rushed directly to Jinshan Temple with a group of people, just like he did more than ten years ago.

In the entire Jinshan Temple, pilgrims fled, and the temple that was once prosperous has now lost all incense, leaving many trembling monks under the sword.

Therefore, in such a prosperous and sacred temple, the three words Jinshan Temple bestowed by the imperial plaque on the plaque are still shining golden, but the people have already scattered and fled without seeing anyone.

Looking at the top of the mountain above Jinshan Temple, Li Qi stopped for a moment, thinking of all the things at that time.

The little monk who was neither sad nor happy in front of Shenglian will eventually be defeated by the imperial power.

Compared with the gold that was dug out from the lotus pond, the gold that covered every inch of land in this temple was what moved the emperor's heart.

Li Qi led a few people, rushed up the long stairs, and ran up the stairs.

There is no one on the rocky place, and the house is even more empty, no one can be seen.

In the woods, Faxin suddenly appeared and stood in front of Li Qi. This person who had undergone two drastic changes also lost all his innocence.

"If your lord is looking for the abbot, please come here."

Li Qi took a few glances at Fa Xin before he recognized him as the little monk from back then, and followed him closely.

When they stopped on the winding mountain road, they were already in the bamboo forest, and hidden in the thick bamboo forest was an empty cave, and there was a person sitting in it, but it was Fahai.

"Abbot... Abbot Fa Hai has passed away." Fa Xin took a deep breath and said with her head bowed.

In the two great changes, the abbot of Jinshan Temple was sacrificed. He is no longer sure whether he can survive the next crisis.

Before sitting down, Fahai had passed on the position of abbot to him.

Li Qi took a few glances at the cave, then at Fahai's figure, then sighed, planning to return the same way.

Since then, there has been a Fahai Cave on the cliff on the west side of Jinshan Tower.

The rustling sound of the bamboo grove came into the cave, Fa Xin watched Li Qi leave, and saw Fa Hai standing up from the motionless position just now.

"Lord Li Qi has already left." Fa Xin explained, but he still couldn't understand why Li Qi just looked at it like this, and didn't ask whether Fa Hai was really dead or faked.

Fa Hai naturally knew this very well, and just patted Fa Xin on the shoulder. Since then, Jinshan Temple has been handed over to him, and Qing Ling is still waiting for him in the bamboo forest.

There is naturally a statue of him in the Gufahai Cave, which is his "corpse".

No matter how much it looks like Fa Hai himself, Li Qi also thinks so.

When Pei Xiu came to ask for help from Fahai, he also met with Li Qi and begged him to preserve the last bit of blood of the Pei family.

Fa Hai is also aware of this point, a game within a game, a play within a play, even the emperor, in the eyes of Tiandao, is he not an actor!
