At twelve o'clock last night, I secretly added a chapter. Because I couldn't confirm whether it could be written when I posted the update yesterday afternoon, so I didn't notify you in advance. I added an update quietly, so don't bother~
I didn’t see the classmate list in Chapter 34 and left it out...
--------------------------
There were still more than a dozen imperial guards who were fighting hard in the palace. Suddenly, they saw another Master Wuyu rushing out from the ground. They all stood in the hall in astonishment.
Shi Xiaoxiao explained aloud: "Master Wuyu was impersonated by a traitor." Someone among the guards recognized him. Master Wuyan was also quite famous among Nanli Buddhists. He opened his mouth to defend Wuyu, and the guards immediately
I believed 70% of it.
Song Yang showed no mercy and ordered his elite soldiers in a deep voice: "Kill them all!" As soon as the order came out, everyone was a little surprised. Only Wuyu seemed to understand Song Yang's concerns and immediately shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, Shi
The prison is ingeniously designed and has a special air path. No matter how many people are put in it, they will not be suffocated to death, and it will not be affected by the fire in the monastery."
Indeed, this is what Song Yang is worried about. The area of the underground palace is not too big. Although it can accommodate everyone in the palace, the air is limited. The entrance will have to be blocked later. If one more person comes in, there will be an extra mouth to breathe.
.
After Wuyu explained, Song Yang nodded, pointed at the secret entrance, and waited for the guards to say: "If you don't want to die, just throw away the knife and go down." After saying that, he waved to Shi Xiaoxiao and motioned for him to come over and help.
The two-story stone door of the underground palace is 'open to the outside but not to the inside', and the mechanisms that control the opening and closing are all on the outside. In this way, even if someone voluntarily burns to death to help his companions close the door, those who go down in the future will be trapped inside and unable to come out.
What's more, Qingmu was the only one who knew how to control the mechanism. Shimen couldn't count on him, so Song Yang took Shi Xiaoxiao and ran to the Buddhist niche in the main hall.
The Buddha statue was previously shot by Chen Hui with an arrow, but the huge mud and stone lotus seat was still there. After everyone else entered the underground palace, the two young masters used their strength to push the lotus seat towards the secret door, covering it up.
With only a few feet of gap left, Song and Shi also jumped to the ground, and with the help of others, they pushed and pulled from below, finally sealing the secret door.
After they finished their work, within a moment, the strange crackling sound of the flames engulfing the hall was heard.
Qingmu was taken down to the underground palace by Wuyu. Her chest was restrained and her limbs could not move. She could not even clench her teeth. However, Song Yang was still afraid that she would commit suicide by taking poison. The first thing he did after jumping down was to pinch her cheeks and force her to
He asked her to open her mouth, and after a short inspection, he found the fangs. He immediately reached in and pulled out her fangs without mercy.
Following Song Yang, he went to see Luo Guan again. After confirming that the Grand Master's injury was stable, he took a deep breath, but he did not stop and picked up the silver needle again to treat his injury. While he was busy, he asked: "What's the matter?
Should you say it yourself, or should you wait for us to press you?"
Song Yang was working with his head down, but everyone knew who he was talking to.
Aoki shook his head laboriously: "I won't say it. In fact, there is nothing to say."
Song Yang was cold and ignored her for the time being. Extorting a confession was an expected thing. All the masters in the poisonous sect were good at torture. Song Yang didn't like to torture people, but it didn't mean that he didn't know how to torture people.
Shi Xiaoxiao had always had a question, and regardless of whether Qingmu would answer or not, he asked directly: "Why did you leave me behind after you caught me? Why didn't you kill me?"
Unexpectedly, Qingmu answered his question and turned to look at Shi Xiaoxiao, "When you were young, your master often praised you to me."
Shi Xiaoxiao was stunned: "My master?"
"Artai, Third Senior Brother Artai." At the mention of this name, Aoki suddenly smiled: "Including Master, everyone on and off Leiyintai didn't know that Third Senior Brother had accepted a proud disciple outside, but I was the only one.
learn."
The topic suddenly came to his mentor. Shi Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say. Qingmu continued to smile: "A Tai has devoted countless efforts to you. I really can't bear to destroy you like this. But letting you go may destroy the master."
As we have planned, there is no other way but to lock you up first and wait until the matter is over."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was suddenly a loud thunder-like sound outside. The underground palace was shaken and trembled. Dust filled the air. The main hall could not withstand the flames and collapsed suddenly. The air in the underground palace on the first floor also became dry and burned.
, you can obviously feel the burning in your lungs when you breathe and feel uncomfortable.
Everyone moved again, from the first floor to the second floor. It was indeed a lot cooler, but the surroundings were also completely dark. Shi Xiaoxiao asked Qingmu again: "You and my master...are very close?"
Aoki didn't answer, and there was no need to answer. If he wasn't really close, how would he know that Atai still had a disciple in Nanli.
Shi Xiaoxiao continued: "Then do you know that my master died at the hands of Yan Ding? You and the master are good, why do you want to help again..."
Before he could finish speaking, Aoki chuckled softly: "Artai is your master, but the national master is my master. I have received great kindness from the master, and Artai is not the same. If the master wants to kill him, he will only be willing to do so.
Go, I will never resist and run away... It’s one thing for me and Artest to be good friends, it’s one thing for the master to kill Artest, it’s another thing for me to serve the master loyally.”
"Do you understand? I won't hate Artest because he disobeyed Master; nor will I rebel because Master killed Artest. One thing should be treated as another, don't mix them together."
Shi Xiaoxiao was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, his voice had the usual calm tone: "I understand. Also... you didn't kill me, thank you very much."
At this time, Song Yang, who was sitting at the other end of the stone room and applying medicine to Luo Guan, suddenly let out a long sigh.
A Hongbo guard also said that he was aware of the crisis again and asked with concern: "Master Marquis, what's wrong?"
Shi Xiaoxiao smiled and answered for Song Yang: "He felt that he could not force Qingmu to question him and could not get a confession, so he was depressed."
Atai once helped Imperial Physician You escape from Nanli, but in the end he was punished by the Imperial Master and took his life in order to cover up the fact that You Li was hiding in the small town; Shi Xiaoxiao was ordered by his mentor to join the Qishi team to protect Song Yang, and
Because his master was killed by Yan Ding, he had to deal with Dayan; Qingmu was loyal to the national master and had a good relationship with Atai. At the critical moment, he did not hesitate to violate his master's orders and spare Shi Xiaoxiao's life...
Everyone has their own obsessions, and these relationships are messy and difficult to sort out, but after Atai is involved here, Song Yang will never force Aoki to confess again.
Song Yang was unable to get more information about the Imperial Master from Qingmu, which was of course awkward.
On the contrary, Qingmu didn't care about this and said coldly to Song Yang: "If you want to force a confession, just do it. It doesn't matter."
"It's not like I was wrong just now." Song Yang smiled bitterly, and after speaking, he reluctantly persuaded: "Actually, we are all acquaintances... Could you please say a few words?"
Qingmu ignored him, and Song Yang had no choice but to change the topic: "Master Wuyu, I guess the fire is out. When we go out, there will be many people outside. Could you... clean up?"
Wuyu smiled: "This poor nun has exactly what he meant." As he said that, he borrowed a sharp knife from the red wave guard next to him, groped in the dark, and began to shave his head.
…
The fire in the Bie Lai Zen Monastery burned from day to early night. The Taoist firemen became more and more sophisticated in their methods. The fire was really hopeless. All the heavy soldiers who came to the area could do was isolate the surrounding area and try to prevent the fire from spreading.
Spread, as for the inside of the Zen Yuan, we can only wait for the fire to extinguish on its own.
From Prince Jing to Ren Tang, down to ordinary people, the entire Phoenix City was alarmed by the fire. The imperial army blocked all nearby roads, and Prince Jing personally took charge... Ren Tang felt depressed in his heart. Until now, everything has gone smoothly.
, it will take less than a few days to completely finalize the situation, and everything will be a success. Wuyu's position is too important, and there is no room for any damage to her at this juncture. If she is really burned to death by the fire, although it will not be as exaggerated as all the previous efforts have been wasted, but what will happen next
It will undoubtedly take a lot of effort.
When he heard that there was a fire in the Zen courtyard, Prince Jing put down everything he was doing, led his guards and the imperial army to come, and witnessed with his own eyes the whole process of the fire starting and dying, from strong to weak, and the prince's family was a little desperate.
There was no way anyone could survive the fire.
However, there is always a chance of luck if the body is not seen. After the fire finally subsided, Prince Jing immediately sent people to search the fire scene...
It was getting late, and there was a curfew in Beijing. No one was allowed to go out on the streets. However, outside the imperial army, there was still a large group of people who refused to disperse. Without exception, those who stayed here were Buddhist disciples.
There are also many ascetic monks in the temple... Not long ago, these ascetic monks were gathered in the monastery. This morning 'Wuyu' returned to the monastery from the palace, and the two sides were able to meet. The ascetic monks paid their respects and dispersed. Unexpectedly,
Before they could leave the capital, they heard that there was a fire in the Zen monastery, and they gathered back again.
Because they were all practitioners and had a special status, King Jing showed mercy and allowed them to stay nearby temporarily and wait for news.
Prince Jing was outside the fire scene. Although the fire was weak, it was not completely extinguished. Tomorrow's Emperor refused to put himself in danger, so he paced back and forth on the street, restless. He also held a bowl of tea in his hand, and the air around him was burned by the fire.
It was both dry and choking, forcing people to drink more water. When they were anxious, suddenly a trusted subordinate who entered the fire scene to search came quickly with a joyful face, bowed and said: "My lord, I am very happy, I have found the master."
, she is still alive and unscathed!"
There was a crisp sound.
In the ecstasy, King Jing unconsciously exerted force on his hands. After all, he was born in the army and had led troops in battles. His hands were very strong. He crushed the tea cup and cut the porcelain shard into his hand. Blood and tea dripped. Guards and subordinates
The officials and servants were all shocked and hurriedly rushed forward to bandage the prince. Prince Jing could not care about this minor injury. He stretched out his hand to move away from the others and said to the messenger: "Quickly ask Master Taifa to drive... No, no,
Lead the way, I am going to see the master." After saying that, he walked away, and after a few steps he smiled and gave the order: "Pass the good news out, so that the monks waiting outside can feel relieved!"
Master Tai is still alive... In this way, this fire is not a disaster, but a 'blessing'.
Being able to survive such an astonishing fire shows the miraculous power of Master Wuyu. Prince Jing could imagine that the fastest rumor circulating in the market tomorrow would be: Master Wuyu is protected by gods and Buddhas and is invulnerable to water and fire.
It is foreseeable that after this fire, Wuyu in Phoenix City and her prestige among the people in Nanli will rise to the next level. The higher her reputation, the greater her help in King Jing's ascension to the throne. King Jing was very happy and smiled.
He could hardly close his mouth from ear to ear. He wanted to spread the good news as soon as possible.
Having fun with the people, isn't that what the emperor should do, Prince Jing thought to himself.
But his order... If Song Yang were here, he would look at him doubtfully.
