MTL - Estranged-Chapter 54 With my previous temperament, I am afraid that Headmaster Xie will not be able to get out of here today.
According to the emperor's valet, the emperor read for about half an hour last night, then said he was tired and wanted to go to bed.
The emperor is less than twenty, the queen mother does not want him to indulge in beauty, there are only two palace maids in the harem, the emperor is not very interested, young people are greedy for new things, but he is very interested in Princess Zhaoyue who is about to enter the palace, and even wanted to serve in a modest way Going out of the palace to see the famous beauty of the princess in advance, but the defendant went to the queen mother and stopped him.
The emperor went to bed at about the same time as in the past, and the attendants didn't care. After serving the emperor, they waited outside, and there was no movement from inside. They went to wake the emperor up in the morning, but found that the emperor's face was as peaceful as a dream. Can't wake up either.
From morning to now, it has been a long time. The queen mother originally wanted to find the imperial doctor and let the emperor diagnose it quickly, but after all the hard work, there was no improvement, so she had to find a few masters and Song Nanyan to discuss the solution.
According to the itinerary, the emperor should receive the Zhaoyue delegation tomorrow.
Even if you pretend to be sick, you can't even see your courtiers. After a long time, everyone will definitely become suspicious. Luo Kingdom is strong with a weak national strength, and You Country is already eyeing it. The nation is unfavorable to the Luo country, and in a blink of an eye there will be another **** storm sweeping the world.
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager panicked and hurriedly stopped the imminent conflict between the four masters.
"Several real masters, now the emperor's strange disease is coming so violently that even the imperial physician is helpless, but I am at a loss, so I can only rely on you!"
The Empress Dowager still had to give face, several monks went to the dragon couch to check on the emperor's condition, while she herself pulled Song Nanyan aside.
"Song Xiang, I don't know what advice you have for this matter?"
The concubine was stupefied enough to see the long-lost teacher in the bridal chamber that day, but suddenly there was another shocking change, and ordinary people would have been at a loss for a long time, but Song was undeniably worthy of being the prime minister of the empire. After sorting out his thoughts, he lowered his voice when he heard the words: "For the present plan, first control the news within the imperial city, and all those who know are not allowed to leave the palace easily, in order to prevent changes outside the palace."
The queen mother nodded. If they don't deal with each other on weekdays, their current interests are the same.
"What Prime Minister Song said is true, I will ask General Wei to immediately surround the imperial city..."
When the two were talking, the masters felt a little gunpowder.
"The art of leaving the soul cannot be used by anyone who is not close to him. All the people around His Majesty must be controlled and interrogated, and no one can be let go. Only by finding the real culprit can he be forced to hand over His Majesty's remnant soul!"
Humans have three souls and seven souls, and departing from the soul does not mean that all the three souls and seven souls are separated from the body. Generally, only the soul is separated from the body, and the soul can only be born attached to the human body. Only by recalling the three souls can a person return to normal.
Chang Ming recognized the speaker, the other party's name was Xie Chunxi, he was the head teacher of the Jinque Taoist Palace, and he was a well-known master monk.
Ordinary people may feel it is a great honor to guard the court as the head teacher of the first palace, but in the eyes of the monks, it is a bit out of place, but Jinque Taoist Palace is not the top sect in the Taoist sect. After that, Jinque Taoist Palace went from bad to worse, and although it is not considered a third-rate sect, it cannot be compared with the sects of the same scale as Shenxiao Xianfu.
"Closing soul-destroying techniques is only for ordinary people. If you are a master, you don't need to be close-up. As long as you have the horoscope of the person who is demented and the close-up objects, you can also decapitate the soul even if you are thousands of miles away. Po, in my opinion, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, just investigate the monks who can often contact His Majesty!"
As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that they were contradicting Xie Chunxi.
Chang Ming followed the prestige and found that this person looked strange.
It happened that Song Nanyan came back from the Queen Mother, heard Chang Ming's inquiry, and said in a low voice: "He is the master of Zhenling Sect, Yue Chengbo."
While he was answering Chang Ming's question, Teacher Xin Dao didn't even recognize the Grand Master. I'm afraid his cultivation is really not that good, and he regretted bringing him in hastily.
Chang Ming had a good impression of Zhenlingzong.
This is a small sect, almost submerged in the Jiji Sect, but when he and Yun Weisi went back to the past on the other side of nothingness, they had a few encounters with Nie Emei of Zhenlingzong in Yuru Town.
Based on time, this Yue Chengbo should be Nie Emei's senior brother.
The other two are also easy to recognize, presumably they are the Zen Master Ku He of Qingyun Temple mentioned by Song Nanyan, and the elder Han Ye of the East Sea School.
Yue Chengbo's words pointed directly at Xie Chunxi, implying that he was the culprit who made the emperor leave his soul.
Xie Chunxi was furious: "Yue Chengbo, what do you mean by that!"
Yue Chengbo sneered: "What do I mean, you don't know? Who is always using messy Taoism to confuse His Majesty? Your Majesty is young and energetic, and doesn't know how to restrain himself. Could it be that you also don't know how to measure?!"
"What is a messy Taoism? Your Majesty is interested in Taoist magic, so I naturally want to show it to you. You are also a Taoist, and you say such a thing?" Xie Chunxi paused and smiled, "Oh, I forgot, you guys Zhenlingzong started out with illusions to transform gods, it is similar to street jugglers, at best it can only be regarded as heresy, and it is not in the elegant hall at all!"
Han Ye smoothed things over and said: "Your Majesty hasn't woken up yet, you two should let go of your prejudices for the time being. I'll try to get His Majesty to wake up first, and if it doesn't work, I'll need a few fellow Taoists to help."
After finishing speaking, he made a tactic with both hands, touched the emperor's forehead with his fingertips, and poured his spiritual power into it.
This is a typical soul-searching technique. It can not only search part of the memory of the emperor before he fell into a coma, but also find the wandering remnant souls that are hidden around him. The methods of different sects are slightly different, but they are basically the same.
But after a while, he put down his hand, shook his head and laughed at himself: "I'm not very good at learning, so I have to look at some of you."
Zen Master Ku He took a step forward without saying a word, put his staff on the ground, folded his palms together, and recited scriptures silently.
As he recited in a low voice, a layer of faint golden light appeared around the emperor's body. Looking closely, the golden light was actually composed of countless tiny scriptures.
Seeing this, the queen mother couldn't help feeling hopeful, and stared closely at the emperor.
The reputation of Qingyun Temple is illustrious, and among the four of them, the one who bears her greatest hope is naturally Kuhe.
But unfortunately, this layer of golden light gradually faded after a stick of incense, and the emperor still had no improvement.
Ku He recited a Buddha's name: "The poor monk is incompetent, if the head of the hospital is here, maybe there is a way."
The head of the courtyard he was talking about was none other than Sun Buku, the director of Qingyun Temple.
With Sun Buku's cultivation base, the queen mother naturally has no doubts, but he is not in Luodu now, and the distant water cannot save the near fire.
Yue Chengbo and Xie Chunxi also tried in turn, but they all returned without success.
"This soul-searching technique is very weird. I don't think it is something that ordinary sects can do. The other party must have imprisoned His Majesty's remnant soul somewhere!"
Hearing Yue Chengbo's words, Ku He nodded in agreement.
"Just now I searched Your Majesty's Sea of Consciousness, and found that the remaining emotions before he left his soul were not panic and fear, but peace and serenity, even a little happiness."
This is also the doubt of Ku He. Before a person's soul is seized, he must be afraid, but the emperor is not only not afraid, but also very happy. At the mercy of.
The Son of Heaven is not a monk, he is young and weak-willed, so it is understandable to be taken advantage of by others, but inside and outside the imperial city there are three layers of enchantment formations inside and outside, which are difficult for ordinary monks to see let alone penetrate. How did he break through the siege, as if entering the land of no one, and successfully attack the emperor?
Unless, he was originally hiding in the imperial city.
The empress dowager's self-maintained composure almost collapsed.
"Then what should we do now?"
Yue Chengbo said: "Something happened to His Majesty, logically there should be a regent. If the news gets out, His Majesty's uncle Hui Wang will definitely attack. As far as I know, Zhangjiao Xie has a good relationship with Hui Wang on weekdays."
Xie Chunxi's face lengthened suddenly: "I have only a casual acquaintance with King Hui, Yue Chengbo, today you don't think about how to help His Majesty, but keep targeting me, what is your intention? Could it be that the villain sued first, you are the one The most suspicious person!"
"This fellow Taoist, since you're here, why haven't you opened your mouth?"
The two argued again, but Ku He looked to the other side, and suddenly said.
What he was referring to was Chang Ming.
Chang Ming, who had been keeping a low profile and silent, standing in an inconspicuous corner, was noticed by Ku He.
After all, his cultivation was slightly higher than the other three, and he could see that Chang Ming's deliberately restrained spiritual power was not an ordinary person's.
When Song Nanyan mentioned it, he was more nervous than being named.
Chang Ming smiled: "My cultivation base is low, not worth mentioning, there are a few here, I just listen carefully."
Although he said he was listening attentively, his face obviously did not look like that of a low-level monk. Whether a person has extensive experience or knowledge cannot be pretended or deliberately concealed.
Xie Chunxi narrowed his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist, I don't know what kind of expert he is?"
Chang Ming: "There is no school, no sect, just casual cultivators."
Xie Chunxi: "Even if you are a casual cultivator, you still have a teacher, right?"
Chang Ming: "My first teacher was an idler in the mountains and fields, and his name was unknown."
Xie Chunxi felt more and more suspicious about this person.
"Even the idlers in the mountains, there are always some teachers. You don't enter the palace sooner or later, but your Majesty has just had an accident, and you are here. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?"
"Headmaster Xie, this is my enlightenment teacher. We haven't seen each other for many years. He happened to come to visit me in the capital. I heard that something happened to His Majesty. I will bring my teacher into the palace to see if he can help."
Song Nanyan came forward to explain, he also felt that Xie Chunxi was too aggressive, but not only him, but even the Empress Dowager had to be polite to the four of them, let alone offend the emperor now that something happened.
He secretly wrote down the account and looked for an opportunity to settle it after preparation.
"Teacher? I remember that Prime Minister Song's mentor was Qiu Bingkun from Liuyi Academy, why did he become this again? Could it be that Qiu Daru shaved off his beard overnight and changed his face?"
Xie Chunxi made it clear that he didn't believe what he said, and even reached out to test him.
From Song Nanyan's point of view, the person surnamed Xie obviously wanted to divert the conflict between himself and Yue Chengbo, so he had trouble with Chang Ming.
"Wait!"
But the opponent's attack was so fast that he had no time to stop it.
Xie Chunxi turned a deaf ear and grabbed Chang Ming's shoulder, trying to find out his origin.
Xie Chunxi, who thought he was sure of everything, suddenly froze when he touched the other party.
Was it caught empty? !
He reacted extremely quickly, and a strand of spiritual power immediately overflowed from his palm, and divided into several strands to wrap around the opponent.
With a wave of the Changming robe sleeves, they were all blocked from the body.
The two fought against each other for several moves, borrowing from the nameless casual cultivator not only did not lose the wind, but on the contrary, it seemed like they were lifting weights lightly, like pulling a thousand catties in four or two.
With Xie Chunxi's evil fire together, I really don't believe in this evil!
He didn't intend to use his sword at first, but if he doesn't suppress this person, he will be completely reduced to a laughing stock in front of Yue Chengbo and others.
"You are really suspicious!"
Xie Chunxi acted first to forcefully put a hat on someone, and at the same time raised his finger slightly, and the sword turned into white light and shot away at will.
In the middle of the journey, the white light turns into tens of thousands of paths, and one sword is magical, invincible.
Song Nanyan couldn't help but let out a cry.
His eyes were stung by the sword light, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to cover it.
But the heartbeat accelerated violently, almost jumping out of the chest cavity!
If he knew earlier, he shouldn't have brought the teacher in, but now it's too late to regret it. He didn't expect that Xie Chunxi, who couldn't get along with Yue Chengbo, would turn trouble into another, and get into trouble with Chang Ming.
Song Nanyan was anxious and angry, not only did he not take Chang Ming seriously, but he also ignored him at all.
The head teacher of the Jinque Taoist Palace, the majestic master, was unable to get through with Wuming casual cultivator, and his attack used at least 70% to 80% of his spiritual power, and ordinary monks below the high level could not resist at all.
It's too late for anyone to stop it.
Seeing that the bedroom was about to be splattered with blood three feet, thousands of sword lights were suddenly withdrawn, as if the sky light fell down the night in an instant, everything was silent, and the tangible things became invisible.
Bang!
The magic weapon in Xie Chunxi's hand broke into pieces and fell to the ground.
Looking at Changming again, he stood with his arms tied, his expression as usual.
"Take people's lives at every turn. Is this the case in the Jinque Taoist Palace? Give my apprentice a face today and stop killing people here. Otherwise, with my previous temper, I'm afraid Headmaster Xie won't be able to get out of here today."
He smiled lightly, his brows were not sharp, but his words pierced his heart like a sharp sword.
Xie Chunxi's face was pale, and he took three steps back.
Song Nanyan looked at his teacher and opened his mouth slightly, quite eye-opening in shock.
As for the others, they were also surprised.
Just now when Ku He tried to speak out, he just felt that the other party was a little suspicious, but he didn't expect that this person would shock a grand master by making a move.
Then his actual cultivation might be called unfathomable.
"Skills are not as good as people, there is nothing to say. Your Majesty the Queen Mother has a capable person like a Taoist friend, and she will surely turn danger into good fortune. I will not make a fool of myself here!"
Xie Chunxi said sadly, he didn't even want to ask the other party about his master's background, and turned around to leave.
"Wait!" How could Yue Chengbo let him leave as soon as he said it, "Xie Chunxi, if you have no ghosts in your heart, why run away!"
Xie Chunxi's face darkened: "You also want to stop me?"
Changming's voice sounded behind him.
"Headmaster Xie just said the right thing. The murderer who caused the emperor to leave his soul was the person around the emperor. That is to say, there must be a demon incarnate among everyone present."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
If Chang Ming hadn't just shown his skills, everyone would almost think he was talking crazy.
Who is there?
Changming, Song Nanyan, four masters, the emperor, two close attendants, two other high-ranking monks, and the queen mother.
The author has something to say:
Small theater unrelated to the main text:
Song Nanyan: The teacher is really pretending...
Chang Ming:?
Song Nanyan: I was almost scared out of my wits.
