Young Master Xiaoyan stood on the palace wall of Luoyang City, gazing quietly into the distance.
Suddenly, at the intersection of heaven and earth in the distance, two figures on horseback appeared and sped towards the direction of Luoyang City!
The corners of Gongzi Xiaoyan's mouth suddenly raised a cunning arc, and he said: "The time has come!" After that, Gongzi Xiaoyan turned around, looked at the people around him and said: "According to the original plan, a quick battle and a quick decision!"
Changshengguo quickly added: "But we don't have the ability to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. What should we do when we enter the Luoyang Palace and deal with Li Duozuo, the commander of the imperial guards?"
"Don't worry!" Young Master Xiaoyan said, "When Li Hao goes to the city to help the king, he will go straight to the imperial city. When Li Duozuo hears that he is going to help the king, he will naturally mobilize all the imperial guards. Isn't this a problem that can be easily solved?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Qingcheng quickly turned over and flew down from the top of the city wall, heading straight for the imperial city. Gongzi Xiaoyan kept shaking his head and also used the Huajianyou skills to follow closely behind!
The imperial city of Luoyang is divided into two palaces, the South Palace and the North Palace. The South Palace is where the emperor and his officials come to pay respects and discuss politics. The architectural layout is neat and orderly, with palaces and pavilions lined up one after another. The North Palace is mainly the palace where the emperor and his concubines sleep. Its status is more important than that of the South Palace, so the buildings are luxurious and magnificent.
The Heshi Bi is a national treasure, and Wu Zhao has a lot of complaints with Shuanglong. Wu Zhao always likes to keep this treasure in the Xianju Courtyard where she lives. Xianju Courtyard is located in the North Palace, which is a forbidden area among forbidden areas. Even Wu Zhao's favorites such as Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Juyi, or her own sons such as Li Dan and Wu Chengsi, are not allowed to enter!
Xianjuyuan was Wu Zhao's own unique world, and no one outside knew what was hidden inside.
The North Palace has fewer palaces than the South Palace, and the buildings are not as neat and symmetrical as those in the South Palace. Young Master Xiaoyan and his party entered the North Palace from Deyang Gate, moving quietly along the way.
All of them possessed superb Qinggong skills and were extremely familiar with the terrain of Luoyang Palace. They jumped and flew like black eagles flying in the night, extremely agile and free and easy.
Soon, several people broke into the garden of Xianju Courtyard. The night sky was dotted with stars, and the huge courtyard was deserted. There was only the sound of Luo River flowing in the distance. The silence was unreasonably quiet.
Walking through it, you can suddenly feel an extraordinary atmosphere. The breeze blows, the lotus flowers sing softly along with the wind, the dew rolls back and forth on the lotus leaves like jade plates, and the air around is filled with a hazy water vapor, which makes people feel as if they are riding on the clouds and floating in the air.
“Knock! Knock! Knock!”
The sound of knocking wooden fish came from not far away. Gongzi Xiaoyan followed the sound and after passing through a bamboo forest, a magnificent Buddhist temple appeared in front of him. Under the light coming through the temple, there was a waist-high stove outside the hall with three huge incense sticks inserted in it, and the smoke filled the front of the hall.
On the left and right sides of the hall door stand two stone statues of heavenly kings and powerful warriors, tall and mighty.
The sound of wooden fish came leisurely from the hall.
At first glance, the voice makes people feel calm, but as you listen more, it is not difficult to find a touch of sadness in the voice. The word "faith" is just a matter of thought.
When you knock on the wooden fish, you are not knocking the fish, but knocking on the heart. If the heart is uneasy, how can it be calm
Ouyang Feng stood in the garden, quietly listening to the sound of the wooden fish, but his thoughts flew back to that day in front of the ancient tomb. He was a new apprentice and full of ambition, but he was defeated miserably by the Night Demon's knife. A feeling of resentment and unwillingness surged into Ouyang Feng's heart.
Xue Qingcheng also thought of the day in Wanmei Villa when the ignorant girl who left home met the man in white clothes more beautiful than snow in the plum forest! That figure was more proud than the ice and snow on the distant mountains, and more shining than the shooting stars in the winter night!
He gently stroked the plum blossoms in the yard and looked down at the dirty little girl. He suddenly smiled, just like a spring breeze blowing across the earth, melting even the eternal ice and snow on the distant mountains.
"My name is Ximen Chuxue, are you willing to be my apprentice?"
Young Master Xiaoyan seemed to have returned to his youth when he first entered the martial arts world, sitting on the boundless wilderness, looking at the sunset in the sky! Watching the sunset at dusk, the setting sun in the sky was like blood, and the sunset reflected the sky, there was always a kind of tragic beauty!
At that time, it was Gongzi Xiaoyan’s favorite moment. He watched the sunset, watched his elder brother practice martial arts, and fantasized in his heart about becoming a peerless hero when he grew up.
"What are you all thinking about! Hurry up!" Jin Xiucheng's angry voice interrupted everyone's wandering thoughts and brought them back to reality.
The sound of the wooden fish became more and more chaotic. Young Master Xiaoyan sighed, took the lead, and slowly walked into the Buddhist hall.
Inside the Buddhist temple, a woman dressed as a nun, wearing a spotless grey robe, kneeled on a mat, beating a wooden fish, her eyes slightly closed. Behind her was a magnificent golden Buddha statue of Sakyamuni, two meters tall. A row of nine lamps were lit on the altar, casting her shadow forward, creating a strange scene.
As if sensing the arrival of Young Master Xiaoyan and the others, the nun gently opened her eyes and said softly, "You guys, this is your first time entering the Buddhist temple, why are you so uneasy?"
Jin Xiucheng was furious and said sternly, "You stinky nun, no need to say more, just hand over the Heshi Bi!"
"The Heshi Bi is not here with me, please go back!" the nun said softly.
"Hmph! Don't play dumb!" Jin Xiucheng was furious. He waved his sword and stabbed straight at him. "If you don't hand over the Heshi Bi, I will send you to heaven to see your Buddha!"
The nun looked at Jin Xiucheng's sword coming at her with great force, but she didn't care at all and continued to beat the wooden fish. However, an inexplicable force suddenly appeared, which pushed Jin Xiucheng's sword aside and stabbed it into the empty space.
Jin Xiucheng suddenly lost his strength in mid-air, stumbled, and fell heavily. Gongzi Xiaoyan, Changshengguo, and Xue Qingcheng behind him were all shocked. With such a superb use of internal force, what level of martial arts did this nun in front of them reach
Young Master Xiaoyan thought for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "May I ask, Master, is this the Imperial Master, Xianxian?"
Hmm
Hearing this, Changshengguo and the others were all shocked. They stared at the ordinary old nun in front of them with their eyes wide open. They could not believe that she was the peerless enchantress who dominated the world back then - Kankan!
Kankan is the successor of the evil sect Yingui School in Huang Yi's "The Twins of the Tang Dynasty". She is a witch with superb martial arts skills. Although she is young and has a beautiful face, she is the strongest successor of the Yingui School in history!
She started a fierce competition with Master Feixuan, the successor of Cihang Jingzhai. The two of them had similar skills, both were the best in mind and martial arts of their time, and both were peerless beauties. Moreover, they were also the biggest sects of good and evil, so one can imagine how fierce the competition was.
She repeatedly threatened the lives of the protagonists Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. Although she failed to kill Li Shimin and overthrow the Tang Dynasty, she eventually helped his female disciple Mingkong. It was the empress Wu Zetian who finally fulfilled her long-cherished wish of dominating the world.
"What if it's Kāṇa? What if it's not Kāṇa?" The nun gently shook her head and said, "Now I am devoted to Buddhism and don't want to be contaminated by the dust of this world. It's good to be with the Buddha every day." (To be continued)
