[Liao Zhai] Lanruo Temple

Chapter 125, Showing the secret

March [-], Shangsi Festival.

On March [-]rd, when Xuanyuan was born, King Zhennan worshiped Xuanyuan and his ancestors during the day, but at night, he bathed and changed his clothes again, ready to go to Montenegro.

As night fell, the side door of the palace quietly opened, and a carriage was already waiting safely.King Zhennan, dressed in black casual clothes, and two Taoist priests Liu and Wang, one on the left and one on the right, escorted King Zhennan into the carriage.Zhennan Wang is old, with gray hair, and he has cultivated his spirit for many years, and looks quite majestic.

The carriage followed the path to a dilapidated courtyard in the city. Daoist Liu knocked on the willow tree in the courtyard, and saw a human face emerge on the willow tree.Daoist Liu said: "Brother Shu, please open the door." He showed the invitation to the willow tree, the face on the willow tree swallowed the invitation, and after a while spat it out again, saying: "It's the king's invitation, please. "

The willow tree opened its mouth and spat out a formation flag, the flag floated in the air, and a door of light hung down.Taoist Liu put away the invitation, went to the carriage, and said, "My lord, you can't drive on the road ahead."

Daoist Wang helped Zhennan Wang get off the car, and the three of them passed through the light gate. In an instant, the world changed. Zhennan Wang only felt that his eyes lit up, and he had already gone from the abandoned old house to another realm.

In front of you is a towering gate tower, on which hangs the words Lanruo Temple.There are winding stairs inside the gatehouse, and you can see a piece of lights when you go up the stairs.On both sides of the winding stairs, the red lanterns revealed a hazy festive brilliance.This is the second time I have come to Montenegro, the first time I came during the daytime, King Zhennan had never seen such a scene.

"It's like Kyoto when I was young. Whenever there is a festival, the lights in the night market are as noisy as this."

King Zhennan's face softened, he entered the mountain gate, walked up the winding mountain road, and climbed up the steps to the ghost market.In front of the ghost market, there were a few boys carved in powder and jade. When they saw strangers, they reached out to stop them, and gave each of them a mask.

Zhennan Wang had mortal eyes and thought the child was very cute, so he bent down to tease the child. Taoist Liu and Taoist Wang looked at each other, but they were very wary.Others couldn't tell how many infant spirits they were, but they could see them clearly.This ghostly, very frightening.Therefore, the two held their seals secretly, guarding against the sudden attack of a few little devils.

Little ghosts are difficult to deal with, and infant spirits are terrifying.The younger you are, the more ignorant you are, the more difficult it is to teach, the more difficult it is to save.Among the evil spells, there are countless evil spells practiced by infants and young children, because infant spirits are difficult to cure.Among them, the most famous one is the Nine Sons and Mother Demon, who was trained by taking pregnant women and infant spirits. It is notorious and causes endless harm.

However, no matter how vigilant they were, there was no mutation. It was just that the children were quick-witted, and they were somewhat displeased with them.They looked carefully, except for the haunting aura that could not be eliminated, the infant spirits showed no resentment, but their innocence and loveliness were even more extraordinary than those of ordinary children.

Liu and Wang couldn't help admiring in their hearts, Huai Xu's supernatural powers were so vast, I'm afraid it was already immeasurable.At least no matter how powerful the eminent monk is, he can never do better than Huai Xu in dealing with infant spirits.

King Zhennan couldn't feel anything, but he could enjoy the fun the most. Holding the two baby spirits on one side and the other on the right, he suddenly felt like family happiness and children and grandchildren.They were playing with the baby spirit, but King Zhennan couldn't help sighing in his heart, and said to himself: "That stubborn donkey, who is big and big, but refuses to get married, so the girl from the Mo family has such a skill that makes him fascinated and never forgets?"

"If it's a girl from an ordinary family, it's fine. She's just the widow of the Mo family. She's a phoenix. She has already been secretly promised the crown prince by His Majesty. She will become the crown prince concubine just by waiting for a good day. I'm afraid that this sentimental evil It's hard."

After teasing the children for a while, King Zhennan put the children down. He heard that they were going to guard the gate here, and promised to bring them candy when they left.

Putting on a mask and entering the ghost market, I realized that the prosperity of the ghost market is still above the night market in Kyoto.After all, there will be no spells in the night market in Kyoto, and there will be no other things outside the world.

Daoist Liu said in a low voice: "Shangsi Festival is also a day for worshiping gods and ghosts. My lord, be careful not to bump into ghosts and gods." Although in the ghost market even if you bump into ghosts and gods, no ghosts and gods will recognize them, but it is always right to be careful.

Lanruogui City wasn't very big at first, but after Huai Xu set up portals to the underworld in various places, more ghosts came and went there.Today's ghost market has been expanded several times, with streets criss-crossing and bustling with ghosts and ghosts.

King Zhennan nodded in response, and saw a young man in yellow clothes and a yellow hat approaching.King Zhennan felt familiar, so he listened to the young man in yellow shirt salute and said: "I have met King Zhennan, my master asked me to guide the way for the prince."

When the young man opened his mouth, the King of Zhennan remembered that it was Huang Dalang who was with him when Huai Xu saw him last time, and said, "Then there is Mr. Lao Dalang."

Huang Dalang said with a smile: "My lord has a good memory, come here, please."

King Zhennan said as he walked, "If King Lan Ruo hadn't spoken up last year, I'm afraid my southeast region would have suffered heavy losses, and the people would be in dire straits."

Huang Dalang sighed, and said: "If the prince hadn't acted resolutely, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to resolve."

After some words, King Zhennan asked him what he really wanted to know: "Mr. Dalang, do you know what King Lanruo invited me to do?"

Huang Dalang smiled and said: "You will know this when you go up." Huang Dalang pointed out, and Zhennan Wang realized that he had arrived at Lan Ruoju's gate.

"My lord, come with me." Huang Dalang walked ahead and led Zhennan Wang to the private room upstairs.

Taoist priests Liu and Wang were invited by Huang Dalang to drink tea in the private room next to them.Huai Xu had already made tea, and as soon as King Zhennan came in, Huai Xu stretched out his hand to ask him to sit down.There are stretched green leaves and a blooming Sophora japonica flower floating in the warm, transparent, white and flawless white porcelain cup.The prince sniffed it, and felt that the internal organs were swept by a gust of fresh air, and his whole body became relaxed.

“Good tea!”

Huai Xu motioned him to drink tea, and he took a sip first, and said, "Tea is tea from the mountain, and flowers are flowers from the mountain, so they cannot be appreciated by the prince."

The prince took a sip following his example, and felt a stream of heat flow down his throat straight into the six organs, as fierce as a waterfall, hotter than drinking wine, but when the heat flow reached its end, it quietly turned into a soft and cool mist , infiltrating the internal organs.King Zhennan only felt comfortable all over his body, as if Junetian was lying in an ice room, lazy and at ease.

The prince thought about it for a while, and said: "This is no longer a human thing, I'm afraid it is a treasure that only immortals can use."

Huai Xu smiled but didn't answer, to get him to make tea himself, or the water with eight merits, the spirit tea from the mountain and the flower of green locust tree, few even immortals are qualified to enjoy it.

Zhennan Wang knew he had guessed right, and he heard Huai Xu say: "Use the tea first, this tea must be hot, otherwise it will be ruined." Not daring to waste this cup of fairy tea, he took a sip and drank the whole cup of tea over.And because of the small thoughts of ordinary people, he chewed and ate the two tea leaves and one Sophora japonica flower in the teacup.

Huai Xu found it interesting, but he didn't show any signs of it, and added another glass of water for him. The water was good, but without the tea leaves and Sophora japonica flowers, it was not as good.

Rou'er came in from the door and served another plate of exquisite refreshments.This tea is small and exquisite, so cute, it makes people can't bear to eat it.

After drinking tea and eating snacks, King Zhennan's only guard was dissolved in the comfort of the whole body.After recuperating, the prince asked, "Prince Lan Ruo invited me, but what can I tell you?"

Huai Xu didn't hold back, and said: "Your Majesty is invited to come, there is indeed something important to discuss."

He said unhurriedly, "Dayu has been almost 500 years since the Overlord established his capital."

"Nine years in 480." Zhennan Wang corrected.

Huai Xu smiled and said: "That's right, 480 years. The number in the world is five hundred and one calamities. If you don't escape the three disasters and nine disasters, they are all counted, and the same is true for the dynasty. After 500 years of catastrophe, In order to regenerate Qi. In 480 years, Dayu's lifespan is almost up."

Zhennan Wang was terrified, and looked at Huai Xu without blinking, trying to distinguish the truth from what he said.

Naturally, Huai Xu would not deceive him, so he reached out his hand to dip a drop of water in the teacup, and turned into a dragon formed by water vapor.This dragon's old eyes are dim, and his body is weakened. It seems that he has walked into a strange road.

"This is Dayu Dragon Qi."

Zhennan Wang is the pillar of the past, and he already has a dragon aura in his body. When he saw the dragon aura painted by Huai Xu, he felt a sense of sadness spreading wantonly in his body.He said shakily, "There are still 11 years?"

Huai Xu shook his head slowly, and said: "500 years may not necessarily mean 500 years. But Dayu's vitality was indeed still around ten years, but now, it has been gone for a year."

"how is this possible!"

Huai Xu stood up, walked to the window, looked at the lights and pedestrians outside the window, and said: "The principle of prosperity and decline cannot be violated."

The King of Zhennan hurriedly said: "Even if the catastrophe lasts for 500 years, shouldn't Dayu still have ten years to live? Why is it that he is gone for a year?"

Huai Xu turned around to face King Zhennan, and said with an open mouth, "Someone made a secret move, ruining Dayu's national fortune, and causing Dayu's disaster to come earlier, so as to benefit from it."

"Who is so daring!" Zhennan Wang slammed on the table and said angrily.

Huai Xu said: "Since the emperor succeeded to the throne, he has been diligent in government affairs, but he trusted someone by mistake, and kept a peerless demon by his side, letting him absorb Dayu's national fortune."

King Zhennan went through it in his mind, and then blurted out: "National teacher?"

Huai Xu nodded and said: "It's him. This national teacher is an earth immortal who is more powerful than me. He is the sworn enemy of the righteous way in the world and the unrivaled demon king. And behind him is the White Lotus Sect. I don't know What kind of conspiracy are they brewing, but destroying the Yu Dynasty and usurping the power of the Yu Dynasty must be a very important part."

Zhennan Wang blushed and said: "I want to go to Beijing to face the saint, and I must execute this demon!"

Huai Xu shook his head and said, "You will die on the road if you leave the Southeast Road. Even if you arrive in the capital, there is no way to convince the emperor. I came here not to ask you to die, but to save Dayu. A ray of life."

Seeing that Zhennan King was puzzled, Huai Xu explained: "I have already calculated that there will be floods and droughts in Dayu, and locust plagues. After the winter of last year, the grain depot will be empty. Er, is there any way for the imperial court to remedy it? At the time of the autumn harvest, there will be chaos in the world, and the flames of war will rise everywhere, and the Yu Dynasty will collapse from then on."

"And a few years ago, I noticed that the aura of Zhennan Prince's Mansion has risen. Now that Dayu is about to be chaotic, the dragon aura in your body has not decreased, but has increased a lot. Do you know what this means?"

King Zhennan already had a guess in his mind, but it was not clear.

"Flood dragons emerge in troubled times. After the death of the old dragon Dayu, there will be several or even dozens of dragons in the world. These dragons will fight with each other, and the final winner will become a new dragon. Your Zhennan Prince's Mansion is in troubled times. The flood dragon is not only a flood dragon in troubled times, but also the successor of Dayu's dragon spirit. If you can seize the world, Dayu will be equivalent to overcoming this calamity."

"I shouldn't have said these things to you, but someone has already made the first move. If I still hold on to the rules, I'm afraid I won't be able to beat him."

The King of Zhennan knew that Huai Xu was talking about the national teacher. At this moment, his mind was in a mess and he didn't know how to respond.

Huai Xu smiled, and said: "Please come here, not only to show the secret, but also to hope that you can prepare early. If you have the heart, I and Tianxia Zhengdao will stand behind you."

Zhennan Wang said shyly, "I'm already sixty-seven."

Huai Xu smiled and said: "You drink my cup of tea, at least you can live another 20 years."

"Think carefully and give me a response as soon as possible." Huai Xu said, and served tea to see off the guests.

Liu and Wang escorted Zhennan Wang out of the ghost market. Zhennan Wang was in a daze, absent-minded, so he naturally missed the eager eyes of the infant spirits standing at the door.

The three left in a hurry, and Huai Xu's figure appeared at the gate of the ghost city.

Several infant spirits pouted and hugged Huai Xu's legs, very unhappy.Huai Xu patted their heads and said, "What's the matter, you don't look happy at all."

The infant spirits said: "That grandpa promised to bring us candy when he left, but he didn't."

Huai Xu's heart moved, and he looked at these infant spirits again, and found that they all had the aura of King Zhennan on them, and even a trace of dragon aura.

Huai Xu couldn't help laughing, and said: "It's okay, he didn't bring it to you today, you can just ask him for it yourself in the future."

But he couldn't help but smile in his heart, and secretly said: "A little bit of sugar can be exchanged for a full house of children and grandchildren. King Zhennan's business is not losing money at all."

His children and grandchildren are all debt collectors. I am afraid that Zhennan King would never have expected that someone would be reincarnated into his house to collect debts because he owed a little sugar.

It was also at this moment that Huai Xu understood that King Zhennan would not make a second choice, otherwise the fate between Heishan and him would never have been so deep.

The author has something to say: If you count your fingers, there will be eight thousand tomorrow.
