Strange Records of Xijing

Three days later, the gate of Fahuai Temple was opened to welcome the emperor and his relatives to pray for blessings.

The Buddhism is clean, and the Habayashi Army unloaded their weapons, only wearing light armor, surrounded the emperor and others, and entered the Fahuai Temple.Of course, as early as two days ago, Fahuai Temple no longer received any pilgrims. After all, when the emperor came, if an assassin sneaked in among the pilgrims and lurked in the temple early, no one could afford it. responsibility.

After a long visit, the young royal family showed some impatience on their faces, but they reluctantly endured it because they had been told by their parents that they must not be rude on such occasions.It's just that the little man's sight has already started to wander, and he doesn't know when he landed on a frog by the pond.

The frog lay quietly on a slippery rock, as if it had merged with the rock beneath it.The little creature seemed to have noticed the sight of the little man, its cheeks puffed up, and it jumped into the pool with a "croak".

"Liang'er," the mother next to her noticed the little man's distraction, and pushed her away without any trace, "I'm back to my senses."

The little man quickly straightened his posture: "Yes!"

Fortunately, he didn't let him endure for too long, the emperor passed down a message that he would stay alone in the Daxiong Palace, while the other royal relatives stayed in Fahuai Temple to wait.

The child pursed his lips tightly, but a pair of eyes that kept turning around revealed the joy in his heart early.

"Croak." After the child left, the frog jumped onto the rock from the pond again, staring quietly ahead.

On both sides of the gate of the Daxiong Palace, the servants stand with their hands down.In the hall, monk Xuantong held incense for the emperor instead of the abbot who was sick.

"Your Majesty." Monk Xuantong stretched out his hands and handed three sticks of incense to the emperor.

The emperor was looking up at the Buddha statue of compassion in the center of the hall, his expression was in a trance, and he came back to his senses only after being called out by the monk Xuantong.He stretched out his hands and sighed softly: "Thank you, Master."

The accident happened at this moment!

Seeing that the emperor was about to take the fine incense with both hands, monk Xuantong shook his arm, and three sticks of fine incense fell to the ground suddenly, and then monk Xuantong waved his wrist, the dazzling flash under the monk's robe was fleeting!

The emperor subconsciously backed away, sideways trying to avoid the blow.Unexpectedly, an arhat statue behind him rolled his eyes and stabbed behind the emperor with the sword drawn from behind him!

Seeing that the short sword was about to pierce the emperor's back, another accident happened.A bright light appeared on the platform to the left of the statue of Arhat, and a man in golden armor stood behind the emperor, clasped his hands together, and held the short sword firmly in his palm.

The "Statue of Arhat" was furious and exerted all his strength, but unexpectedly the dagger seemed to be stuck to the palm of the man in golden armor, no matter how he moved, the dagger couldn't be pulled out.

"Trash!" Monk Xuantong cursed in a low voice.He exerted force on his wrist, and the three-section short stick turned into a long stick. With another shake, the tip of the gun was exposed, emitting a faint light.

Monk Xuantong stepped down and stabbed at the emperor's left chest with such force that the emperor and the man in golden armor could be pierced through the chest together.

The man in golden armor seemed to have eyes behind him, pushing the emperor away with his shoulders, and even blocked the gun with his body!

All this happened in a blink of an eye, and thanks to the action of the man in golden armor who was not afraid of death, the emperor finally recovered from the short-term surprise and panic, reached out and took the incense burner next to him, and threw it at the monk Xuantong. Keep shouting: "Help! Help!"

The servant outside the main hall heard the noise inside, immediately opened the door, jumped on it, and kept shouting: "Help!"

The Habayashi army that was farther away filed in. Although they had no weapons in their hands, they relied on the advantage of their large number to protect the emperor in the middle.

Seeing that the assassination failed, "Arhat Statue" simply gave up the dagger, raised his head and roared.The corners of his mouth were cracked, and the cracks expanded all the way to the ears. His nose, eyes, and eyebrows were swallowed by his big mouth one after another, and the entire face soon only remained with countless sharp teeth.

He roared at the many Habayashi soldiers, countless tiny flying insects flew out of his mouth, and rushed towards the people in the hall.

Flying insects pounced on the crowd densely, and the noses and ears of the servants and Habayashi soldiers got into the flying insects. After a while, their eyes were rounded, the veins on their foreheads were raised, and their hands were holding their heads desperately. His scalp was ripped off by himself.

And when the Yulin army and the servants were struggling to pounce on these difficult little flying insects, the monk Xuantong pulled the spear out of the golden armor man's body, and slammed it to the ground in the direction of the emperor!

The stone slabs of the main hall were smashed to pieces, and the outermost Habayashi soldiers were sent flying, revealing a small gap in the protective circle.

Monk Xuantong leaned forward, using his wrists hard, and shot the Habayashi army who came to block him with his long spear, and rushed straight at the emperor who was being supported by his servants!

Without hesitation, the man in golden armor flew forward, intending to block the attack of Xuantong monk with his body again!

Monk Xuantong's left hand quickly formed a seal on his chest, hitting the end of the spear, and the spear turned into countless afterimages, attacking the emperor in all directions!

The man in golden armor turned around and threw the emperor to the ground.His body swelled up, arching his back like a hemisphere, allowing countless spears to attack his body non-stop.

Monk Xuantong, who lost his weapon, was captured by another group of Habayashi soldiers who came later, but the first Habayashi soldiers and servants who entered the palace almost all caught him alive, leaving only the golden armored man lying motionless on the ground .

croak.

croak.

Quack quack.

A dozen fist-sized frogs jumped into the hall together, and a feast of gluttony started.

And the situation has finally changed completely.

Seeing that the assassination was not going to happen, the "Statue of Arhat" let out another roar, tearing apart the Habayashi army in front of him with both hands, turned into a puff of black smoke, and fled out of the hall.

Seeing that the crisis was resolved, the man in golden armor stood up, and several clever servants quickly supported the emperor, and the Yulin army surrounded the emperor layer by layer, separating him from the man in golden armor.

"Who are you?" The emperor looked at the golden-armored man in front of him, "How did you know someone would assassinate you? How did you get into the Daxiong Palace?"

In fact, the emperor had countless questions in his mind. He felt that he had vaguely grasped a hidden thread, but the thread was too thin and too long, and he didn't know where it was leading, and who was holding on to the other end of the thread.

The man in the golden armor didn't speak, his figure was shrinking continuously, and soon turned into a doll the size of a palm, and fell to the ground.

A servant stepped forward, picked up the doll through a sweat towel, turned to look at the emperor and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty."

The emperor frowned, and ordered: "Where is the abbot of Fahuai Temple? Find him here! Then send someone to invite the national teacher over. And the prince, where is the prince? Are there any assassins around the prince?"

The servant hurriedly conveyed the emperor's order, and then asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, this place is dangerous, why don't you go back to the palace and discuss it?"

"No." The emperor categorically vetoed, "Fahuai Temple has infiltrated assassins, everyone in the temple is suspicious, first surround Fahuai Temple, and no one is allowed to enter or leave! Where is the prince? Why hasn't the prince come yet?"

A Habayashi soldier hurried to the outside of the hall and said, "Your Majesty, the crown prince is gone."

"What!" The emperor was shocked, "Hurry up and send someone to look for it!"

"Yes, I'm already looking for it."

The abbot, who was supposed to recuperate in his own room, was found by the Habayashi army to have died for many days, and the whereabouts of the prince are unknown.When the national teacher rushed to Fahuai Temple, many monks in the temple had been forced to gather outside the main hall in groups of five to accept interrogation by the Habayashi army alone.

"His Majesty."

The national teacher stepped into the room where the emperor rested, and before he had time to salute, he was called by the emperor.

"National teacher, the prince's whereabouts are unknown, what can you do?"

The national teacher had doubts about the identity of the prince for a long time, but he couldn't tell the emperor clearly, so he had to ask: "Your Majesty, has the assassin's identity been found out?"

"No," the emperor shook his head, winked at a servant beside him, and asked, "Master, do you recognize this puppet?"

The national teacher didn't dare to take it rashly, he could only look carefully at the doll in the servant's hand, nodded and said: "This way of making dolls is actually an old friend of mine."

"Oh? Who? Can you predict this assassination?"

The national teacher's back was sweating, and he thought about his words and replied: "It's not a prophet. Does your majesty still remember what I said earlier? The person next to the prince has unknown origins and is very suspicious."

The emperor stared at the national teacher and asked: "The national teacher's words are because the crown prince is ignorant of people?"

"I dare not!" The national teacher explained, "I just feel that the origin of this person is unknown, and the matter of praying for blessings is left to the crown prince, and this person will inevitably intervene."

Speaking of this, the national teacher smiled bitterly, and continued: "The crown prince doesn't trust me, but I can't ignore your majesty and the crown prince in danger, so I went to visit Su Yan. This doll should be from Su Yan handwriting."

It's not that the national teacher doesn't want to take the credit for himself.It's just that the prince's whereabouts are unknown now, if he takes the credit, the emperor will inevitably entrust him with the task of finding the prince.Since there are ten thousand Taoist priests by the prince's side, if he goes looking for them, he will have to confront his senior brother.At that time, with the burden of the prince present, he will inevitably not be restrained, but Taoist Wan is unscrupulous, and his winning rate is not high.

The prince's whereabouts are unknown, and the emperor has no time to catch the loopholes in the words of the national teacher: "I have heard of the name Su Yan. Although this person is young, he has superb magic skills, but he is not very good at being a man."

"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm self-deprecating," the national teacher followed suit, "Only the maker of the puppet is most familiar with it. Su Yan's puppet is facing the assassin, why don't you call Su Yan over and say May not know more."

"The national teacher is right. I don't know where this Su Yan is now?"

The national teacher replied: "Su Yan is currently staying in Pei Jingxing's residence."

"Pei Jingxing?" The emperor is much more familiar with this name than Su Yan, "He's not smart enough, but his skills are pretty good. Let's call him here together."

The servant took the order: "Yes."
