Bai Qi ignored Princess Yuzhen's summons. He just wanted to see the monk. But the monks at Honglian Temple were very powerful. Otherwise, the wet nurse would have destroyed Honglian Temple directly. Bai Qi did not dare to go forward.
If you want to cause trouble, you can only endure it in the backyard.
The eunuch who sent the message outside didn't notice that Bai Qi didn't say anything and was pushed back. He was angry and wanted to make a fuss. Then he thought about the beating of the 19th prince, so he could only swallow his anger and leave the Duke Yu's mansion.
Bai Qi's temper didn't look very good. The prince was just beaten. If he got into trouble, he might lose his head.
The eunuch left in panic. In the living room of the Bai Mansion, it took half an hour for Yu Guo Gong Bai Qi to appear. In the living room, a tall monk sat there steadily, not in a hurry. The monk was wearing dark red clothes.
Kasaya, leaning on a nine-foot-tall Zen staff next to him, a string of prayer beads on his hand, and nothing else.
Bai Jian saw that the monk had a good-looking appearance, and there was no evil in him. He didn't even have the compassion that is common among monks. Instead, he had the awe-inspiring righteousness of a scholar. Bai Jian was surprised. When the monk saw Bai Jian coming, he stood up and put his hands together and said
: "Young general, I have met your father-in-law."
"Oh? Master doesn't have a dharma title?" Bai Jian was surprised.
"In our Honglian Pure Land Sect, even if we become a monk, we can still use lay names without forgetting the fundamental meaning."
"Master, sit down and watch tea." Bai Jian was much more polite.
There were many ways to make tea in the Jin Dynasty, but Bai Jian didn't pay much attention to it. He just used incense sticks and well water to make a pot of ordinary tea for General Luo.
"Master, why are you here?" Bai Jian didn't have much time to waste on the monk, so he got straight to the point. The emperor has to continue to do things. The purpose of forming the Yulin New Army is to deal with the zombies outside the city. This matter cannot be slowed down.
When the prince returned to Jinling, the army in the south of the city had mobilized more than a thousand people to go to the Mausoleum of the King of Qin, but they returned defeated.
Among Yulin's new army, there are already Qigong equipment provided by the National Master's sect, which makes them more confident in killing zombies.
General Luo said frankly: "My lord, the young monk came here on the entrustment of the master's sect. A large number of evil things have appeared in the Mausoleum of King Qin in the northwest of Jinling. The Red Lotus Pure Land Sect is willing to help my lord and clean up the situation."
"Haha." Bai Jian did not answer, but raised the teacup and drank the tea slowly.
"There are six major sects of Buddhism in the Middle Earth. The Red Lotus Pure Land Sect cultivates this life and does not look forward to the next life. If you are liberated, your body will be the Pure Land. Don't doubt it, sir. This matter is of great significance to our Red Lotus Pure Land Sect.
favorable.
"Master made it clearer."
"Zombies are natural spiritual creatures. If they can be caught and their poison removed, they will become Buddhist protectors."
"So, the Red Lotus Pure Land Sect has already known about the zombies in the Mausoleum of Prince Qin?" Bai Jian said casually. But in his heart, he thought, these Qi Refiners deserve to die. There is such a terrifying thing, but they only wait now
He only showed up to claim credit when he was in urgent need of manpower. If these zombies spread, the entire hinterland of the Jin Dynasty would be in ruins.
General Luo smiled and said: "Young Master, there is no need to be angry. Monks from the Honglian Pure Land Sect have already reported this matter, but it didn't attract any attention. So Honglian Temple had no choice but to summon colleagues and rush to the capital, hoping to solve this problem on its own.
However, the young monk heard that there was a disturbance in Prince Qin’s mausoleum last night. I think some people are now willing to believe the zombie infestation, so he came to see the Lord."
The evil spirit on Bai Jian's eyebrows dissipated, and he smiled and said, "That's because I wrongly blamed you."
"I don't dare." Luo Jiang still looked calm.
"It's not that I can't trust Qi Refiners. When I returned home today, I was assassinated by a Qi Refiner. Can the master tell who this person is?" Bai Jian said and clapped his hands. The servant outside had already removed the assassin's body.
The body was brought in and placed in front of General Luo.
General Luo stood up, saluted, and lowered his head to look at the corpse. After checking for a long time, General Luo raised his head and said: "My lord, this assassin is carrying all crude talismans, and the weapons he carries are even treasures."
Soldiers are not considered soldiers, they can only be rogue cultivators. However, even rogue cultivators cannot be hired by Jianghu gangs. I am afraid they are under the orders of large sects. I am afraid it is impossible to find out the root cause."
"No clue?"
"Young Master, why don't you ask me how many sects are planning to do such a thing. To be suspicious, the scope is too large."
"How big is it?"
"In addition to the four sects of Kunlun, Qingcheng, Penglai and Luofu, there are tens of thousands of Qigong practitioners in the world who probably want the Lord's life."
"Why me?"
"Because in the Jin Dynasty, only the Duke's martial arts reached the first level of Xiantian. With the bronze men suppressing him, he was an unparalleled threat to the Qi Refiners."
"From what you said, Kunlun, Qingcheng, Penglai and Luofu won't be involved?"
"These sects have enough blessed land. Even if the Jin Dynasty conquers Zhongzhou, it will not affect their strength. On the contrary, the prosperity of humanity will provide a sufficient number of disciples, and their quality will be much better than in troubled times."
"What about the Red Lotus Pure Land Sect?"
"The benefits of supporting the imperial court are unimaginable, isn't it, Lord Duke?" Luo Jiang replied with a smile.
Bai Jian didn't get angry either. This qi-refiner really had great magical powers. The secret of his True Dragon Seven Killing Spear has probably been known to others for a long time. The Bai family's True Dragon Seven Killing Spear is a technique that assists the imperial court. The country's fortune is strong.
, the cultivation speed of this True Dragon Seven Killing Spear becomes faster and faster.
In his thirties, he had reached the level of first-class innateness, which was inseparable from the expansion of the power of the Jin Dynasty.
It's just that it was prosperous and then in decline. If the emperor wants to completely take away the living space of the Qi Refiners, the Qi Refiners will definitely fight back with all their might. I'm afraid this is the source of the collapse of the Jin Dynasty.
That Qigong practitioner doesn't know how to govern the country at all. After the collapse of humanity, there will be a situation where demons are dancing in chaos. By then, the Bai family will not be able to survive. It is a pity that the efforts of dozens of generations have turned into water in one day.
This thought just flashed through his mind quickly, and Bai Jian asked: "Where will the master stay?" He was seeing off a guest, and it was difficult to leave General Luo at home. If you have anything to do, you can naturally go to him.
"Leiyin Temple in the south of the city." Luo Jiang picked up the Zen staff, gave a salute, and said before leaving: "My uncle keeps all the things on this assassin. If you meet someone who understands, they will be useful... Longhu Mountain, has been
It is no longer reliable. Your Majesty may not believe this, but I must be careful."
When the monk was sent away here, Bai Qi had already left the Duke Yu's Mansion, but Wang Fang came to express his thanks. Bai Qi was a person who couldn't stand still, so he followed Wang Fang out to wander around.
Jinling is a prosperous city with a population of more than two million. It is the second most populous city in the Jin Dynasty. There are a variety of shops on the streets and wide lanes. Wang Fang did not bring any servants, but he and Bai Qi went straight to the south of the city.
It is a place where shops and restaurants are concentrated. Giant merchants from all over the Jin Dynasty did business here. Even at night, the south side of Jinling City is still lit up.
"Third brother, where are you going?" After what happened at the Mausoleum of King Qin, Bai Qi and Wang Fang became much closer, and their titles were also changed.
"Relax, the theater troupe from Qingefang has come to the south. I asked Su Mu and Guo Ai to make arrangements. We brothers will get together."
"Where's Ye Qiao?"
"The injury is serious. It is not suitable to come out for the time being. Marquis Wuyang is very angry. If I come to the door, I will be beaten out."
Bai Qi smiled. He had heard about Qin Ge Fang, which had its own brothel and prostitutes. Wang Fang asked him to go to the theater instead of following his "favourite". He probably still had something to discuss.
The two rode horses, and although they could not gallop, they arrived at Nancheng very quickly. When they arrived at Qingefang, a healthy servant from Qingefang came up to them and helped them dismount.
"Young Master Wang, the elegant room is ready, and the two young masters are waiting for you."
Wang Fang patted his horse and asked someone to take it over and take care of it. He took Bai Qi and followed him into Qin Ge Fang. Qin Ge Fang was built according to the pattern of the previous dynasty, with tall walls surrounding the huge area.
There is a world.
There are more than ten theater clubs in Qinge Square. The place where Wang Fang went was a single one, surrounded by a blue brick wall. The brick wall was hollow and had gentle curves. Bai Qi saw a long stream surrounding the wall, although
A little chillier, but infinitely gentle.
The courtyard is huge and has four tall buildings, each with six floors.
Bai Qi and others were taken downstairs to the south. When they looked up, they saw that the building was more than twenty feet high. Guo Ai was looking down from the corridor. He saw Wang Fang and Bai Qi and stretched out his hand to say hello.
At this time, a maid came out to greet her and replaced the servant. The maid was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a delicate appearance and a swaying walk. Bai Qi glanced at the maid, but he was estimating the maid's skills in his heart. The maid was still young.
Judging from the way she walks and the strength in her waist, she is probably close to her own maid.
He is the son of the Duke of the country, so he can afford such a female guard. Does a woman of pleasure also need such strength? It seems that Qin Gefang's background is not simple.
The two were taken to the fifth floor, where maids walked through the wide corridor, wearing colorful clothes. Bai Qi looked unhappy and looked away.
The elegant room was spacious. After walking in, Bai Qi could smell the aroma. Opposite the door was a large window. Looking out from the window was an even larger stage. It turned out that only the fifth and sixth floors of this building were used for theater viewing.
.
In the elegant room, Guo Ai and Su Mu had been waiting for a long time, but there was also a stranger, which made Bai Qi frown.
The stranger was a young woman, dressed in tight clothes, who looked like a figure in the world.
After asking the maid to exit, Wang Fang smiled and introduced Bai Qi: "Xiao Bai, this is my bodyguard and my friend, Zhen Zhen."
The woman stood up, cupped her hands towards Bai Qi and said, "Zhen Zhen has met Mr. Bai."
When she spoke, she showed her neat white teeth, but Bai Qi noticed that Zhen Zhen was wearing a simple ring on her hand. The undetectable power fluctuations on the ring were the same as his Na Ring.
Wang Fang observed Bai Qi's expression and saw that Bai Qi was not happy, so he added: "There was an incident in the Mausoleum of the King of Qin. Although my father did not punish me, I must take my bodyguard with me when I go out. Zhen Zhen..."
"The Qi Refiner of the Xuanyin Sect has been assisting the Chief Situ for decades, Mr. Bai, don't worry." Zhen Zhen answered.
