61, Chapter 61(1/2)
Xie Chunxi and Yue Chengbo have always been at odds with each other, as can be seen from their previous tit-for-tat confrontations.
But no matter how discordant there is, basic unity must be maintained in front of outsiders, otherwise it will only make other countries laugh.
Although monks have no nationality, as long as their cultivation level is high enough, they will be treated as honored guests no matter which country they are in. However, grandmasters like Xie Chunxi and others who guard the palace have their own status.
Another example is the Ten Thousand Lotus Buddha Land, which is regarded as the state religion by the You Kingdom. If their leader comes to the Luo Kingdom, the queen of the Luo Kingdom will not really think that he is neutral.
When the strong are respected, the rules of the game will also trap the strong.
Naturally, except for what Jiu Fangming did before.
Qingbei Mountain is a little-known sect, but Lu Zhiyuan is not.
He was born in Lingyin, the Bamboo Sea, and later traveled to Qingbei Mountain. He had a deep friendship with the head of Qingbei Mountain, and was invited to stay, so he became the elder of Qingbei Mountain, with a noble status.
Although Lu Zhiyuan's talent and cultivation are not as good as Feng Suhuai's, they cannot be underestimated.
At the very least, the reason why he can be one of the accompanying monks is definitely not because of his relationship with Feng Suhuai.
Xie Chunxi did not dare to look down upon him and immediately used his sword.
His sword was also used to slay demons and slay demons with him as he traveled north and south. As soon as the sword was unsheathed, it immediately moved through the clouds and the wind, making a sound in the sky. The cups and plates on many people's tables buzzed and vibrated, which shocked them all.
What's more, the white jade cup shattered on the spot, and the drink splashed all over the face of the owner behind him, making him sit back in shock on the spot.
To seize the lead, Xie Chunxi has already done it.
Lu Zhiyuan also had sword energy and spiritual power to protect him, but he felt pressure like the wind and rain coming towards him, like the weight of a huge boulder. He was caught off guard and struggled to hold on. He gritted his teeth and held on for a long time, but the spiritual power barrier was still broken.
Lu Zhiyuan's chest felt tight and painful, and he took three steps back.
In three steps, the stone bricks on the ground were shattered.
His face looked good, but the sword fell from mid-air, and his hand hung weakly by his side.
It has reached a point where the superiority and inferiority have been decided, and there is no point in continuing to take action.
Lu Zhiyuan forced a smile: "I lost."
Xie Chunxi couldn't hide his excitement: "Fellow Daoist Lu accepts the concession."
He lost at the beginning, and the envoy from You Kingdom didn't look good. He could only place his hope on Feng Suhuai.
Princess Teruyuki was still wearing a tulle. She didn't eat much and hardly drank. After all, the veil didn't look generous on her body.
Many people had seen her appearance when she entered the city before, but now her eyes were red, swollen, and discolored. Even the queen could not force anyone to do so, so she had someone prepare some light drinks for the princess alone.
The two brothers of the late emperor, King Hui and King Qi, were also present. As the prime minister of Song Dynasty, Nanyan naturally had to be present as well, in addition to some important ministers.
King Hui and King Qi were chatting and laughing in low voices, looking very relaxed. It was obvious that they did not regard today's banquet as an important matter.
Only Song Dynasty is difficult to describe. He doesn't show it on his face and smiles in words, but in fact he is restless and anxious in his heart.
Although the emperor above him was eating and drinking, and could not fault his words, Song Nanyan knew that he was a paper puppet!
Last night, he watched with his own eyes as Ming took out a white human-shaped piece of paper from his sleeve, placed it on the emperor, and blew on it. The piece of paper fell to the ground and swayed slowly, like a dough-making man, gradually changing into a human-shaped piece of paper.
He looked like an emperor, even his hair was exactly the same, and everyone was stunned.
The paper puppet not only changed its appearance, it also changed the emperor's voice and demeanor by 10%. In addition to speaking less, the secret would not be exposed under normal circumstances. If Song Nanyan hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be difficult to doubt that the emperor was actually a paper puppet.
People change.
Not only that, the fake emperor can identify the people coming and call out everyone's name accurately, but he can't get close to water or fire. But after a banquet, what need is there to get close to water or fire?
Song Nanyan really didn't expect that the master he recognized when he was desperate was not only a monk, but also a monk with such advanced cultivation that even Zen Master Ku He would bow to him.
But the most important thing right now is to find an opportunity to let the emperor leave early to avoid exposing the secret.
Song Nanyan couldn't find a chance to speak for the time being.
Because Feng Suhuai had already left the table and walked towards Yue Chengbo.
"I've heard that the Zhenling Sect is very powerful in fighting ghosts. I'm going to see the sect leader today. Please feel free to give me some advice."
The Zhenling Sect is indeed good at fighting ghosts, but the Zhenling Sect is also a sword sect and is equally good at swordsmanship. Feng Suhuai mentions fighting ghosts but not swordsmanship, which obviously has two meanings.
First, he looked down upon Zhenling Sect's swordsmanship, and second, he deliberately angered Yue Chengbo.
Yue Chengbo had a bad temper, otherwise he would not have started fighting with Xie Chunxi in front of him.
When he heard this, he looked angry.
"Master Feng Yin is so polite. The art of fighting ghosts is difficult to achieve. Today I will ask Master Feng Yin for advice on swordsmanship!"
Feng Suhuai smiled and said, "That's easy to say."
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her sleeves, and an exquisitely decorated plain Qin flew from her seat and landed in front of Feng Suhuai.
When Yue Chengbo drew his sword, Feng Suhuai's slender fingers were also pressing on the strings.
Zheng!
To others, the sound is really crisp and clear. If it can be a song, it must be the sound of nature.
But in Yue Chengbo's ears, that sound was like a sharp blade, piercing directly into his heart, preemptively locking him on the spot, followed by three, four, and five more strings, interlocking with each other, directly making Yue Chengbo
All attempts were blocked and Yue Chengbo was suppressed and targeted at every turn. Not only did he lose the opportunity, he had to scramble to counterattack and defend.
If you continue to be passive, you will lose!
Yue Chengbo couldn't be willing. He bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood on the sword in front of him. He activated his spiritual power, and the sword light suddenly became powerful. The pressure of his spiritual power was like the rising tide of the sea, overwhelming Feng Suhuai!
Feng Suhuai did not expect that the opponent had a back-up plan. He was concentrating on urging the sound of the piano to turn into spiritual power and string formations. Unexpectedly, he was counterattacked by Yue Chengbo. He was hit hard in front of him and spit out a mouthful of blood on the strings.
But the sound of her piano was getting louder and louder!
There was a lot of noise, the wind and rain were like beads, and a five-stringed qin actually brought out the momentum of thousands of troops.
A million-strong army appeared from under the horizon, with a roar, horses and whips raised, guns drawn out, golden bottles bursting, and the momentum shook the heaven and earth.
Song Nanyan had learned some basic health-preserving techniques from the Ming Dynasty in her early years. She didn't look old, and she didn't have a solid foundation. But when she heard the eardrums banging nearby, she felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to vomit blood. Needless to say, she was getting older.
Xie Chunxi shouted out and almost fainted. Xie Chunxi quickly built a barrier in front of everyone to isolate the sound.
Despite this, everyone was still looking pale and unsightly.
Lu Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes.
He observed the emperor secretly without leaving any trace.
With Feng Suhuai's cultivation level, she would have done nothing if she didn't take action. She had almost used the sound of the piano with a power of eight |
But the emperor's face remained calm. When everyone couldn't help but cover their ears, the emperor did not move.
Lu Zhiyuan did not think that the young emperor of the Luo Kingdom was a hidden master.
He was thinking, could the rumors be true?
If so, today is a great opportunity.
Under Feng Suhuai's all-out offensive, Yue Chengbo gradually became powerless.
In the eyes of outsiders, there is still a distance between the two, but they are not so close.
In fact, Feng Suhuai pressed forward step by step, while Yue Chengbo retreated step by step.
There is no way to retreat, and there is no chance of winning in a last-ditch fight.
He knew that his cultivation level was not as good as Feng Suhuai's, and the other party had deliberately made Luo Guo look bad today, but he was unwilling to do it when it fell on him.
Especially Yue Chengbo, a very competitive person.
But at this moment, a burst of fire lit up in the corner of Yue Chengbo's eyes.
The barrier built by Xie Chunxi suddenly shattered!
The next moment, the palace maid's scream reached his ears!
Feng Suhuai gave up.
Yue Chengbo also followed the sound, but his expression changed drastically.
The emperor above him caught fire at some point, and when the fire touched his clothes, it burned fiercely, and he couldn't shake it off. However, the emperor did not jump around in a hurry. Instead, the burning parts collapsed softly, and the palace maid next to him was shocked.
He screamed, not understanding what he saw.
Anyone who sees the emperor suddenly transformed into a burnt paper man will not react much better.
Many ministers were stunned on the spot and forgot to close their mouths.
The last unexpected accident happened.
Ming repeatedly told the paper puppet not to be near water or fire, but it actually started to burn.
"How dare you, what kind of monster have you done! Why did His Majesty behave like this? Come on, take him down!"
Song Nanyan stood up and attacked first.
He could see clearly that just now it was Lu Zhiyuan who pointed out a cluster of sparks and hit the emperor directly.
No one would have thought that Lu Zhiyuan would dare to stab him. Xie Chunxi had the ability to detect it in advance, but when he saw the pain behind her, he stood beside her to protect her. He was temporarily unaware of the emperor's weirdness and was discovered by Lu Zhiyuan.
Lu Zhiyuan didn't even think about it and chose to expose it on the spot!
