The Chronicles of Longevity on Liaozhai Road

Page 264

Then, with the civil servants in front and the military officials in the back, they entered the Xuanzheng Gate one by one, and then they came to the place where they stood on duty.

Yang Heng stood in the team and looked around curiously, and found that there were indeed a few people in the team wearing Taoist robes or monk robes like him. It seemed that the rumors that Emperor Shunde liked Buddhism and Taoism were indeed true.

But Yang Heng was not at the front of the team, and found the Great Master of Purdue Cihang whom he had never seen before. Could it be that the Great Master didn't participate in the morning court?

While Yang Heng was thinking wildly, a middle-aged eunuch came in from the back door of the main hall. He looked into the main hall, then retracted his head and hurried away.

Soon there were footsteps in the apse again, and then Yang Heng saw Emperor Shunde coming out of the West Gate, but was covered by the imperial fan, and after sitting on the imperial throne, the fans were separated, leaving three fans on the left and the right Behind the Shunde Emperor.Until then, the ministers could not see the emperor's face.

At this time, an old eunuch standing next to the emperor took a step forward holding a fly whisk, and shouted to the civil and military officials below: "If there is a book to play early, if there is no book, roll the curtain and retreat."

All the civil and military officials below were silent at this time, it seemed that there was nothing to do today, and Yang Heng stood in the middle of the line with his head down, waiting to pass this level so that he could go back to have breakfast early.

But just when everyone thought they were about to retreat, suddenly a little eunuch rushed into the hall, then knelt down in the center of the hall, and shouted hastily: "National Teacher Pudu Cihang, see you!" .”

He had just finished saying this, before he could stand up, there was a sound of drums and music outside the hall, and then several burly monks carried a sedan chair into the hall.

At this moment, all civil and military officials started to commotion, it turned out that the person sitting in the sedan chair was none other than the national teacher——Pudu Cihang.

Although the national teacher Pudu Cihang used to be domineering, he never entered the palace in a sedan chair. Today he simply doesn't take the emperor seriously.

And the Emperor Shunde, who was sitting on the throne, was already trembling with anger. If he hadn't held the imperial case in front of him, he might have been unable to conceal his anger.

And the old eunuch standing next to the Shunde Emperor, his eyes flashed now, and he took a step forward.

"Since the great master has an audience with the emperor, why is he not polite? Don't you know the laws of the dynasty?"

Following the words of the great eunuch, all civil and military officials seemed to wake up, and immediately several young imperial envoys rushed out, fell to their knees, and began to impeach the Great Master Pudu Cihang.

Emperor Shunde looked at a few impassioned young officials, smiled on his face, and nodded slightly. It seems that his dynasty still has loyal ministers, and these few people can be promoted in the future.

At this time, Pudu Cihang also slowly walked out of the sedan chair, and then he waved the sturdy monks, and immediately carried the sedan chair out of the hall.

At this time, Pudu Cihang clasped his hands together, lowered his head slightly and said, "Poor monk Pudu Cihang, I have seen the emperor."

Emperor Shunde looked at Pudu Cihang with a cold light in his eyes, then he glanced at the old eunuch next to him, which meant to ask him if he could cure this madman today.

The old eunuch looked at Pudu Cihang with fearful eyes, then shook his head lightly, but he quickly thought of something, then glanced at Yang Heng among the civil and military officials, and then signaled to Emperor Shunde for a moment.

Emperor Shunde has been emperor for so many years. Although he said that a momentary mistake made Pudu Cihang bigger, he still has a lot of experience in governing. He understood what the old eunuch meant with just one look.

So he ignored Pudu Cihang who was below, and directly shouted to Yang Heng in the class: "Doctor Zhong, Yang Aiqing, you have been in Beijing for a long time, and you haven't seen the Great Master yet, right? Just in time to get to know each other."

Yang Heng originally wanted to be a salted fish, but when he heard the emperor's call, he finally had to stand up and saluted the emperor first, and then saluted Pudu Cihang again.

"Poverty Dao Xitan, I have met the Great Master."

Pudu Cihang squinted at Yang Heng, "Are you the Taoist Yang who defeated Xu Hongru, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, in front of the two armies?"

"No talent, just poor way."

Pudu Cihang nodded, and then said: "I think you have good aptitude, why don't you abandon the Tao and follow the Buddha, and worship under my sect, and you will be guaranteed an immortal fruit in the future."

When he said this, Pudu Cihang was still very confident. His purpose of coming today was to expand his power, and then desperately absorb the luck of the dynasty, and finally become a god.

Now thinking about it in Pudu Cihang, as long as he achieves the Arhat Dao fruit by himself, no matter how poor Yang Heng's aptitude is, he can also make Yang Heng become an earth immortal, so his words are not considered a lie.

But he proposed on this occasion to ask Yang Heng to betray his teacher and join him, which is a bit insulting, and if Yang Heng really did this, who would dare to associate with him in the future?

So now Yang Heng can only rebuff forcefully without any hesitation, otherwise people will suspect him of both ends.

"The words of the great national teacher are a little too much. Poor Dao has its own mountain gate, and some of them have master education, so there is no need to worship under the national teacher's sect. Don't say this about the national teacher in the future, so as not to spoil the friendship between you and me."

Although what Yang Heng said was very rude, Pudu Cihang was not angry.

"Haha, young people don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. I'm afraid they will suffer in the future."

After he finished speaking, he stopped talking to Yang Heng, put his hands together, and said to Emperor Shunde: "Long live, you have been practicing the secret method I taught you for several years, and now the kung fu has reached a critical moment, as long as it is the last step If you finish it, you will be able to live forever, so the poor monk asks His Majesty to retreat to the harem and devote himself to cultivating the Tao, and the poor monk will temporarily take care of the affairs of the court."

This time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were a little scared, they didn't expect that I, Pudu Cihang, would dare to say such a thing.

But although it was said that they were frightened, many people among the civil and military were secretly happy, because they had already taken refuge in Pudu Cihang.

In the eyes of these people, if Pudu Cihang dared to force the emperor to hand over his power in the hall, it must be absolutely sure.

The current Emperor Shunde was too angry to speak, and he pointed at Pudu Cihang with trembling fingers.

The old eunuch next to Emperor Shunde was also angry when he saw this scene. He stepped forward to shake the floating dust, and said to Pudu Cihang grimly: "Could it be that the Great Master was sleepy and sleepy, and he was talking in his sleep in the Jinluan Hall?" .”

Speaking of this, the old eunuch released an unprecedented majesty, and this majesty rushed towards Pudu Cihang like a sharp sword.

However, Pudu Cihang stood in the center of the hall, completely motionless, and when the momentum that hit him met Pudu Cihang, it was like a mouse meeting a cat—go around.

The old eunuch saw that he had no choice but to save Cihang, and he didn't dare to do anything on the main hall. Finally, he looked helplessly at Yang Heng who was standing beside him, and then cast a look for help.

Yang Heng obviously saw this look, but he also murmured in his heart that he had already felt a strong pressure on Pudu Cihang with the sword just now.

This is different from the opponents he encountered before. The strongest opponent he encountered before was Xu Hongru, the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

But when he was facing Xu Hongru, he didn't necessarily feel threatened from him.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, Yang Heng was found by Emperor Shunde in Jingzhong, and he should be a member of Emperor Shunde. If he does not help the emperor now, it may not be justified.

Therefore, Yang Heng could only take a few steps forward helplessly, blocking the way between Emperor Shunde and Pudu Cihang. Afterwards, he slapped his head and said, "Great Master, I was just joking just now, all ministers don't need to pay attention."

When he said this, Yang Hengmo began to use his profound skills to touch the spell in his mind with his mind.

This is Yang Heng who is ready to activate the supernatural power of Fatianxiang at any time. As long as Pudu Cihang has a little reaction, he will do it immediately, and he must not let the other party take the lead.

Chapter 398 Ripped Face

Pudu Cihang didn't seem to notice the rattling swords above the main hall, but saw him put his hands together again, lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, if you don't care about the poor monk, you might as well retire to the position of the Supreme Emperor and pass it on to the prince. , I, Purdue Cihang, have received His Majesty's great favor, and I will do my best to repay and support the prince."

Yang Heng frowned again when he heard this, this Pudu Cihang is getting more and more outrageous, just now he just let the emperor retreat to the harem, now he simply let the emperor abdicate.

And he can also be regarded as the emperor's person. If the emperor resigns, abdicates the power, and lets Pudu Cihang take charge, he will still have good fruit for himself.

Therefore, Yang Heng didn't wait for the emperor to speak, and said first: "The words of the great master are ridiculous! How can a courtier let the emperor abdicate, I think you are still going back to the monk temple, and practice for a few days with a pure heart. Once you have learned the laws of King Gangchang, it will not be too late to go to the main hall."

Pudu Cihang looked at Emperor Shunde with his eyes, but said in a low but firm voice: "The poor monk has to do this today for the sake of the people of the world. Please forgive me."

When he said this, Pudu Cihang suddenly turned around and said to Manchu Wenwu: "Although you are the emperor's subjects, you also represent the subjects of the world. What do you have to say?"

As soon as he said this, Wang Da, the minister of Taichang Temple, came out of his class and knelt down on the ground, "I will report to the emperor, and I will report to the national teacher. The emperor is old and unable to handle political affairs. I will leave the affairs of the world to the state." The teacher is the truth, and the emperor can also rest in the harem so that he can live forever, which really kills two birds with one stone."

Hearing this, Pudu Cihang nodded in satisfaction.

And the Emperor Shunde now felt that his throat was so sweet that he would spit out a mouthful of blood.

This Wang Da is his confidant, he should have spoken to him, but now he speaks for Pudu Cihang, what else can he say, obviously this guy has already taken refuge in Pudu Cihang.

In the past, this guy's respect for him was all arranged by Pudu Cihang, allowing him to penetrate into his own interior. Now there is no need to hide it, so this guy jumped out.

And at this moment, a little imperial envoy came out of the shift suddenly, holding the wat board in his hand, and went straight to Wang Da's head.

Although this Wang Da has a high official position, he has always been pampered and pampered. It can be said that he has no strength to restrain a chicken, so he didn't even have time to react to the sudden attack of this young imperial envoy.

Just when everyone thought he was about to bleed, Pudu Cihang suddenly turned his eyes and gave the young envoy a glare.

Just that one moment, the young man felt as if he was being shocked by an electric shock, and then his body flew backwards, hitting the Panlong pillar in the hall, and then there was no more sound.

The other ministers in the main hall were all in an uproar when they saw that Pudu Cihang had killed people recklessly above the main hall.

But everyone knew that Pudu Cihang was determined to seize power this time, and the guards and worshipers they invited were not around. If they objected, they would be killed on the spot.

Therefore, although many ministers were not angry, they did not speak to stop it.

And many ministers who had already attached themselves to Purdue Cihang were also a little scared seeing this scene. They never thought that Purdue Cihang's wrists could be so cruel.

"Pudu Cihang, what are you going to do? Do you still have Zhen in your eyes?"

"Your Majesty, your words are over. The poor monk has always been loyal to His Majesty. In order for His Majesty to concentrate on cultivating the Tao, I have to work hard to handle political affairs for you. My heart can be learned from heaven and earth."

After saying this, Pudu Cihang coughed lightly, and then hundreds of officers and soldiers broke in from the outside, each of them armed with a weapon, directly surrounded the middle of the hall in the middle of the ministers.

Emperor Shunde's face turned pale when he saw this scene, and the simmering blood in his throat couldn't hold it any longer, and it spurted out of his throat.

This is also a great stimulus to him, because he thinks that he has always controlled the guards of the palace very tightly, but in this situation, it is obvious that Pudu Cihang has taken over the troops in the palace, otherwise, these hundreds of It is also impossible for people to break into the hall silently.

Seeing this, the old eunuch next to Emperor Shunde sighed, then took out a jade bottle from his bosom, went forward, and stuffed a pill in the jade bottle into Emperor Shunde's mouth.

Then the old eunuch silently used Xuan Gong, put one palm on Emperor Shunde's back, and continuously released mana.

After a while, Emperor Shunde opened his eyes again, and then yelled furiously at Pudu Cihang: "What a Pudu Cihang, I was so blind back then that I led you into the palace, I didn't expect to raise tigers to make trouble."

Pudu Cihang looked at the Shunde Emperor who was about to lose his mind, shook his head slightly, then lowered his eyes and said nothing.

At this moment, another old cough sound came from outside the hall, and then seven or eight people broke into the hall.

All the civil and military officials turned their heads and saw that the leader was an old man with a white beard, and he couldn't tell how old he was. There were seven or eight people wearing Taoist robes or monk robes around him.

The old man tremblingly walked up to the main hall. When the officers and soldiers surrounding the civil and military officials saw the old man, they wanted to go up to block him, but before they got close to the old man, they were pushed away by an invisible force.

As for Pudu Cihang, when he saw the old man coming, he showed a fearful smile on his face, and then waved his hands to make these officers and soldiers retreat to the sides, and let the old man walk up to the main hall.

The old man came to the imperial steps of Emperor Shunde and raised his hands upwards.

"I have seen His Majesty."

When Emperor Shunde saw this old man coming, he seemed to gain his confidence all of a sudden.

"Old Emperor Uncle please hurry up, there is no need to be polite."

It turned out that this old man was Emperor Shunde's biggest trump card. He was the brother of Emperor Shunde's father.

In addition, this old man's aptitude is very good, so he has become an immortal in his 40s.

Over the years, he has been secretly collecting capable people and strangers from all over the world, silently guarding this dynasty.

King Rong straightened up, then turned around, and smiled coldly at Pudu Cihang: "You don't practice in the temple, you great monk, how did you get involved in the court's affairs?"

"Old benefactor, the poor monk has been practicing more and more in recent days, and he has realized the way of heaven. He knows that the day when the emperor ascends to immortality and attains the Tao is not far away. Therefore, in order for the emperor to live forever as soon as possible, I have to work hard to handle government affairs for the emperor. What's wrong with that? ?”

King Rong almost laughed angrily when he heard this, this Pudu Cihang doesn't even want to face now.But he quickly shuddered again, because with the appearance of Pudu Cihang now, it seemed that he wanted to tear himself apart.

If he hadn't been injured last time, he could still barely resist Pudu Cihang, but since the last time he fought against Pudu Cihang, he was severely injured and hasn't recovered yet, so he might not be this guy's opponent.

But at this point, I can only fight once, otherwise, I don't know who will fall into the hands of my family's great rivers and mountains.

Therefore, King Rong stopped talking nonsense, only saw him, his mind moved, and immediately a golden dragon flew out of his arms.

This golden dragon looks mighty, but it is actually just a phantom.

But as soon as this phantom appeared, the sky began to change color, and then there was an invisible force that quickly gathered towards it.

After that, the phantom began to rush down from the high altitude of the hall, circling around the King Rong.

At this time, Yang Heng had already retreated to the group of ministers. Now that someone was going to stop Pudu Cihang, there was no need for him to be that early bird and beat him to death.

When Pudu Cihang saw the old man using his housekeeping skills, he was also shocked, he didn't expect the old man to be so neat and tidy.

You know, this is above the Golden Luan Hall, once he uses such a powerful spell, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not hurt the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

And which one of these ministers of civil and military affairs has a powerful force behind him, even Pudu Cihang would not dare to offend easily, is this old man really crazy?

But in this situation, Pudu Cihang didn't care about other things, he only saw him sitting cross-legged and forming a seal with his hands.

Immediately afterwards, Pudu Cihang's body began to become ethereal, and finally disappeared completely above the hall.

Just when everyone thought Pudu Cihang had retreated, golden clouds suddenly appeared in the sky outside the main hall.

Then these golden clouds began to float around here, revealing a god and Buddha.

This golden Buddha has immeasurable light in his body and compassion on his face, as if he wants to save all living beings in the world.

Although King Rong was in the hall, his spiritual sense had clearly sensed the things outside the hall.

Therefore, with a thought in his mind, the golden dragon immediately broke away from his body, jumped out of the main hall, and swelled up in front of the golden Buddha, becoming tens of feet high, and began to confront the golden Buddha .

With the appearance of the golden dragon, the sky began to surge, and then endless luck began to gather towards the golden dragon.

The golden Buddha gave the lucky golden dragon a cold look, and then mouthed the Buddha's name.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha, if you have not converted to evil obstacles, when will you wait!"

After saying this, the golden light on Pudu Cihang's body began to expand outwards, and then Pudu Cihang stretched out his left hand and pressed down on the golden dragon violently.

With the opening of the left hand in the sky, the clouds also began to vibrate, and there seemed to be an invisible force emitting golden light in the sky, directly grabbing the golden dragon in his hand.

But the golden dragon just swayed its body slightly, and the invisible palm was shaken away.

The golden dragon was obviously irritated by Pudu Cihang's action just now, and it roared to the sky, and then the roaring sound, like ripples, began to approach from Pudu Cihang's side.
