Chapter 49
Chapter 49
On the first day of coming to the temple, the emperor and ministers discussed the procedure with the abbot.
So you don't have to spend a lot of time doing these things the next day.
At dawn, Huo Chen and Qiao Yiqi came to the main hall together, and many ministers also came. Both of them saw Chen Yinan and Ling Luozi in the crowd, and nodded calmly. They both knew what to do and what to do. notice something.
A sharp "The emperor is here-" came in.
"See Your Majesty—Long live my emperor, Long live, Long live—"
"My lords please stand up."
Wearing the robe of a five-clawed golden dragon, the emperor walked slowly.
Standing behind Huo Chen, Qiao Yiqi couldn't help but click his tongue a little. As expected of the Son of Heaven, this majesty is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
From his point of view, the emperor has deep brows and eyes, and a pair of narrow eyes reflect everyone's figure. Even though the years have left traces on him, it is not difficult to see that the emperor must have attracted a group of young people when he was young. The girl's heart, it's no wonder why Queen Yuan is still lingering in the palace after so many years of death.
There is a huge Buddha statue in front of you, and the smell of burning incense is still in the air. Many Zen monks are sitting there knocking on wooden fish, chanting Buddhist scriptures in their mouths.
The abbot followed the emperor, and when he passed by him, he clearly felt that the abbot's eyes paused slightly on Huo Chen, as if he was puzzled or puzzled.
But when he looked over once, the abbot behaved very normally, without any other superfluous eyes.
The emperor said high-sounding words on it, nothing more than saying that God bless the general, and hope that the general will return with victory.
Qiao Yiqi didn't want to hear what the rest of the emperor was saying anymore, he started to feel drowsy.
When Dayou was in high school, the teachers above were talking endlessly, and the students below were sleepy.
Huo Chen didn't seem to listen much, he held Qiao Yiqi's hand with one hand, played with his slender fingers, and put the other hand behind his back, looking at the abbot standing beside the emperor from time to time.
I don't know how long it took, but the emperor finally said: "My dear friends, come here first, and tomorrow I will ask the master to do it to get rid of the evil spirits in the palace."
Coming out of the main hall, the sun was already hanging in the middle of the sky.
It wasn't very hot in April, and the warmth shone on her body, which aroused Qiao Yiqi's drowsiness even more.
"Brother Qi, I think we should go find the abbot."
Huo Chen's words cheered him up, "Look for him? Do you have any explanation?"
"I feel that Lingyin Temple may be the last place for this dungeon."
It was an unexplainable feeling, but his intuition did tell him so, and he chose to trust his intuition.
"Okay, let's go find the abbot."
Now Huo Chen is no longer Xiaomengxin who just followed behind him like the first dungeon.
Qiao Yiqi was a little gratified, and felt a sense of accomplishment like a child in my family who had just grown up.
Their residences were assigned to the rear of the temple, and the residence of the abbot was in the east wing of the temple. It is said that the east is the direction closest to the Buddha.
There are also peach trees planted on the east side of the temple, but not as densely as behind the mountain.
Peach trees were planted on both sides of a path, and sparse petals fell on the path.
Walking along the path to the end, a wing appeared.
The wing room is not very big, and the word "quiet" is written in the center of the gate.
However, since the door is open, this "quietness" is divided into two halves.
A couplet is inscribed on both sides of the door:
In the vast world, Maitreya smiled and looked around.
There is no other way, Ji Dian gets drunk and turns his head back.
The two walked in and smelled the same Zen fragrance as the main hall, but it was not as strong as the main hall, but a very light fragrance, which was quite flavorful with the fragrance of peach blossoms.
After entering, I saw the abbot sitting there meditating. It seemed that he had expected them to come and waited here.
They found a random place inside and sat down, but none of the three said anything.
After the abbot finished reciting the Buddhist scriptures, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the two people who came uninvited.
"Amitabha, why did the benefactor come to find the poor monk?" Master Kongkong put his hands together and bowed slightly.
"I don't know why the master thinks the faceless monster in the capital is caused?"
It was Huo Chen who spoke, while Qiao Yiqi leaned on his shoulder and nodded his head.
He didn't ask Master Kongkong if he knew about the faceless monster, but directly asked him why, which meant that he tacitly knew that Master Kongkong knew about it.
Sure enough, the abbot was silent for a while, "Everything has a cause and effect, and the faceless person is caused by evil intentions."
"Does the master think there are really ghosts?"
"Believe or not. Believe it or not."
"Then what if the current queen has also become a faceless monster, the master also thinks so?"
Huo Chen was not afraid at all, aggressive.
His words stunned Master Kong Kong for a moment, "The current queen?"
"Master, I'm afraid you don't know that the current empress has also become a member of the Faceless People."
After a long time, Master Kong Kong sighed, "Everyone knows that Empress Yuan's beauty was unlucky because of the witchcraft case, but they don't know that the witchcraft probably did it on purpose."
"?!"
"?!" Qiao Yiqi also opened his eyes and looked at him.
His words shocked the two of them, did he do it on purpose?
So, they guessed wrong?
Qiao Yiqi didn't think he guessed wrong, he had already passed so many dungeons, and he was always confident in his ability.
Master Kongkong ignored them, and continued: "But, it is easier to commit suicide than give up. All this is retribution."
Huo Chen still wanted to ask something, but when he went to see the abbot, he didn't want to say anything more, and he seemed to be seeing off the guests.
They knew that it was impossible to get more information from this person today.
So I also said with great insight, "That's hard work, Master."
Coming out of the abbot, Qiao Yiqi and Huo Chen looked at each other, and they both saw something was wrong.
"This bald donkey must know something, otherwise it would be impossible to say these things." Huo Chen snorted coldly.
"Not only did he know, but he might even be a participant. The witchcraft case was done intentionally, so many things cannot be explained. For example, if it was done by Queen Yuan, then her purpose is nothing more than to fight for favor, and she only needs to rely on the faceless Monster, it is impossible for the current empress to live in the harem for such a long time, even the prince. If the current empress did it on purpose, then her purpose is just to pull down the empress of Yuan Dynasty and crown the harem herself. Become a member of the faceless monster, such a thing that hurts the enemy one thousand and self-destroys eight hundred is something that no one would do."
"Then what does this bald donkey mean? Talking about these useless nonsense for no reason."
"It seems...we have to think about the emperor's affairs first." Qiao Yiqi said, "The witchcraft case created today's dungeon, and the participants are all related to the emperor, so we should go to the emperor first."
