Reaper of Faith [Quick Travel GL]

That night, the entire capital city was very restless.

There were people like Lin Shenwei who woke up screaming, panicked, and lit the lamps to wait for the dawn.

There are also people who, after attending the funeral, wake up covering their faces and sighing, tears streaming down their faces.

in the palace.

The emperor, who was embracing and sleeping with his concubine, suddenly waved his arms, and the beautiful woman who was hugged in his arms was suddenly kicked to the ground by him.

"Ouch……"

The concubine who didn't know why screamed, and got up from the ground coquettishly, "The emperor..."

"Not me, not me..."

I saw the emperor lying on the bed, waving his arms, his face full of panic, as if he had fallen into a nightmare, but he couldn't wake up no matter what.

The concubine was frightened, she hurriedly pushed the emperor's arm, and called out one after another: "The emperor wakes up, the emperor wakes up..."

It took a long time for the emperor to open his eyes from the great panic, but at this time, his back was already drenched with sweat.

He looked at the beautiful woman sitting beside him, his young and beautiful face was full of worry, and he didn't know whether it was true or not.

It's just that at this moment, he no longer had the intention to pursue it, and waved his hand. The emperor who woke up from the nightmare seemed to have aged ten years overnight, "Go down."

To live in the harem, the most indispensable skill is to observe words and expressions.

Even though he really wanted to stay and let the emperor feel his care, but after pondering the emperor's expression for a moment, the concubine who was sleeping tonight still responded docilely and retreated.

crackle.

The emperor turned his head slowly and looked at the glowing candle.

In the dancing candlelight, he seemed to see Prime Minister Lin's old but earnest face again.

"Your Majesty, I have never done anything treasonous, so I ask you to learn from me—"

"I'm definitely not a traitor. I can learn from the heart of my minister——"

"emperor--"

Ever since the Lin family was raided, the candles in the emperor's bedroom had been continuously lit for many nights.

To be honest, even if there is no evidence of framing the Lin family for treason, he still doesn't believe it.

But he couldn't help but not believe it.

Let's see, once the crimes of the Lin family were released, how many people pleaded for mercy under the name of the Lin family, and how many people used the stake to prove the innocence of the Lin family. They all feel shocked.

The current Lin family is loyal to him, but what about the future Lin family?

Lin Xiang's grades are no longer young. If he dies, will his three sons still be as loyal to him as before?

With the Lin family's reputation in the world and their connections in the court, I am afraid that after another ten years, the replacement of the position under his buttocks cannot be decided by him!

So the emperor dared not spare, nor could he spare the Lin family.

He rubbed the bridge of his nose and let out a long, weary sigh.

"Lin Xiang, I am sorry for you..."

But I never regretted it.

……

In the second half of the night, the emperor tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep. When he woke up, it was already bright outside.

He called his personal eunuch and asked, "Has Master Huian from Huguo Temple come back?"

Master Hui'an is a well-known eminent monk in the contemporary era. Even though he has never regretted what he has done, the emperor still needs to find a place to rest his soul.

"I'm back, I just came back three days ago." The eunuch held his shoulders for the emperor, relaxed his body, and asked, "Your Majesty wants to invite Master Hui'an into the palace."

"Tell him to come in—that's all." Halfway through the sentence, the emperor remembered that he hadn't been out of the palace for a long time, and said instead: "Make arrangements, I will go to Huguo Temple to meet Master Hui'an."

When Master Hui'an meets people, it depends on fate.

But the person who can become the emperor must be a predestined person.

Therefore, as soon as the emperor arrived at the Huguo Temple and explained that he wanted to see Hui'an, the abbot quickly sent a young monk to guide the emperor and the eunuch beside him.

The emperor didn't reveal their identities, and the little novice regarded them as ordinary distinguished guests. When they arrived at the gate of Hui'an's courtyard, they performed a Buddhist ceremony and said, "Two benefactors, Master Hui'an is inside, please go in."

The emperor returned a salute, "Thank you, Shami."

When he got closer, he heard the sound of chess coming from the yard.

After passing through the gate of the courtyard, it was discovered that there were actually two people playing chess sitting under the bodhi tree in the courtyard.

There are two men playing chess, one is young, the other is old, the other has black hair like a waterfall, and the top of the other's head is so bald that it can almost reflect light.

The one with the bald head is not Huian, who else could it be?

Huian and the emperor have met many times, and the emperor didn't feel offended by the other party's attitude of concentrating on playing chess and ignoring himself. He was already used to the practice of eminent monks, but it was the young people who played chess with Hui'an that made him a little curious.The opponent looked like a young man with pale skin and a thin body, but he had a sense of compassion. Even when he was playing chess, the corners of his mouth were raised slightly, and there was no trace of sadness between his brows.

"Amitabha, the poor monk lost."

After staring at the chessboard for a long time, Hui'an had no choice but to ask for mercy because he couldn't find a place to play.

The young man who played chess with him did not show the pride of winning the chess, but said indifferently: "It is the monk who is humble."

He stretched out his fingers that were whiter than jade, and started to put away the chess pieces. Huian turned his head, as if he had just noticed the emperor, put his palms together and said, "Amitabha, the benefactor has not seen you for a long time."

The young man put away the chess pieces, saw a guest from Hui'an, got up and said: "Since the monk still has guests, I will not bother you. I heard that the red maple forest in your temple is very beautiful. Please allow me to visit it."

Hui'an nodded to him, "The donor can do as he pleases."

"This is..." Seeing that the person left, the emperor withdrew his gaze, and there was still a residual exclamation in his eyes.

He boasted that he had seen countless people, and this was the first time he saw such a wonderful person. He obviously didn't do anything, but there was a kind of strength of character that others couldn't explain clearly in every move. He just thought that this person should be a heavenly talent.

Hui'an said: "The benefactor has heard of the born Buddha?"

The emperor was surprised: "Buddha son?"

"I've only read it in ancient books. It is said that the born Buddha is the reincarnation of the gods and Buddhas. He enters the mortal world and goes through kalpas before he can return to the gods." Hui'an shook his head and said, "I never thought that I would be lucky enough to meet a .”

Shen Zhaoxi walked out of Hui'an's courtyard, and walked towards the back mountain of Huguo Temple without any hesitation, as if she was really planning to enjoy the maple forest in autumn.

She will appear here today, naturally she has a plan.

Zhao Wanchen once told her that although the emperor did not believe in ghosts and gods, he admired Hui'an from Huguo Temple very much. Hui'an was indeed an outsider with some skills. It was Hui'an who helped her make up her mind when she decided to make a decision, and she has a life different from other princesses.

There are no monks in this world, and Shen Zhaoxi is certain. In her opinion, the existence of Hui'an is probably similar to the ancient version of a psychiatrist. After all, as an emperor, although he lives a chic life, he also bears a lot of pressure in his heart. There is always a need for a place to soothe the soul.

So after using the dreaming technique, she began to visit Huguo Temple to check in every now and then in the name of praying for her family.

As for the so-called Buddha's words, she and Zhao Wanchen found out the method to fool Hui'an from ancient books.

In fact, it is not a fool.

The Buddha son mentioned in the ancient book that Zhao Wanchen found was said to be the reincarnation of gods and Buddhas, able to communicate with all things. From Shen Zhaoxi's point of view, it was another way of saying Shinto monks.

It is recorded that the things that Buddha can do are all the basic skills of Shinto monks.

She guessed that either this ancient book was leaked from other worlds, or that in this world, there used to be people with special constitutions who absorbed the faith and became half-step Shinto monks.

This kind of demigod can simply use some basic skills of Shinto monks. In the eyes of ordinary people, it doesn't look like the reincarnation of gods and Buddhas.

It is even stated in the ancient books that Buddhists often have to encounter hardships such as seven disasters and nine calamities before they can re-certify the fruit status.

I don't know how it was compiled.

But it is enough to fool Hui'an.

It is enough to fool the emperor.

When the emperor followed Shen Zhaoxi's footsteps to find the back mountain, he happened to witness a harmonious communication between man and nature.

A tall and handsome young man stood under a tree, dressed in white clothes, holding something in his hands. Not far from his palm, there happened to be a tree hole, and a little squirrel came out and hugged it. Pine nuts in his palm.

The young man showed a bit of helplessness, "Be careful, don't drop it again."

Little squirrel, "Squeak, squeak."

"You don't need to thank me, go back quickly, and be careful for the winter."

Turning his head, seeing the middle-aged man standing not far away, Shen Zhaoxi was taken aback, nodded slightly, turned around and prepared to leave this place.

The emperor finally saw a legendary figure, how could he let him leave easily, and immediately shouted: "Little brother, please wait."

Shen Zhaoxi stopped walking, with doubts on his face, "What's the matter?"

The emperor showed a kind smile on his face, as if he was really an ordinary old man. He asked curiously: "I saw that you talked and laughed with that little animal as if you were talking to a real person. Could it be that the little squirrel can talk to a real person?" Can you understand your conversation?"

Perhaps it was his questioning that made the young man feel dissatisfied. The other party frowned slightly, showing a bit of impatience, "They are all living beings, why can't they communicate?"

The people I meet on weekdays are not respectful to me, even Hui'an, who is an outsider, treats me with some caution.

It was the first time that the emperor had been treated so casually.

Immediately stopped the personal eunuch who was about to swear, he walked over, "I have never seen such a miraculous thing, and I ask my little brother to teach me a thing or two."

"I can't talk about advice." As if because of his compliment, the young man showed a childish smile, "If you want to know anything, I can tell you."

Although the emperor did not believe in gods and Buddhas, he was quite curious about such anecdotes.

Immediately, Shen Zhaoxi was asked to show him her ability, and Shen Zhaoxi, like a young man who was affirmed by others, started to show off to him.

First, communicate with animals and plants, then spy on good and bad luck, and even temporarily make a fortune for the emperor.

The young man said: "I see that your seal has turned black, and you may be in danger of disaster. I advise you not to turn back."

The emperor was puzzled, "What is the disaster from heaven?"

The young man looked narrow-minded, "Take two steps back."

Seeing that the emperor was really ready to listen to his words and turned around, the eunuch said in panic, "Your Majesty—"

The emperor waved his hand, "No problem, I trust little brother."

He turned around and took two steps, but nothing happened, and asked suspiciously: "This..."

Snapped--

A ball of bird droppings was impartial, and landed right on his head, and the wet bird droppings even slid down the bridge of his nose.

The boy laughed loudly, and the eunuch was terrified, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it for him.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.

"Hahaha little brother is indeed a capable person!"

The boy bent down laughing, "Haha, I said that if there is a disaster from heaven, there will be disaster from heaven hahaha..."

The moment she bent over, she lowered her eyes.

After sprinkling bait for many days, he finally caught his prey.
