Reborn Peach, being eavesdropped by monkeys

Chapter 270 You wait for the monster, you haven't shown your original shape yet!
Jiankang, a country of the Southern Dynasties, embraces Qinhuai in the south, leans against the Houhu Lake in the north, and faces the Yangtze River in the west.

Do not!
It should be said that it is one of the largest and most prosperous cities in the entire four continents.

Outside Jiankang City, there are many satellite cities surrounding it to form a guard. There are [-] main streets in the city, nine from east to west and five from north to south, implying the ninety-five supremacy.

The Imperial Palace and Jiankang Palace are located in the very center, and there are more than [-] Buddhist temples all over the city and outside the city.

It has been two full years since the Beihai spring was unsealed and the cold air invaded, and the entire Nanzhan Buzhou was under the blizzard and snow.

Whether it is a barren mountain or a city or a village, there is a thick layer of snow everywhere, and under the snow, there are many corpses covered.

However, Jiankang is an exception.

On the streets and in the palace city, there are groups of civilians sweeping the ice and snow and sending them outside the city all the time, making Jiankang a speck of ashes in this silvery white.

Compared with the past, today's Jiankang is much more depressed and deserted, but if compared with other places in Nanzhan Buzhou, it is thousands of times better.

Especially in Jiankang Palace, in the Palace of Bliss.

The earth dragon kept burning day and night, and the maids and servants inside only wore a single coat, which was enough to keep out the cold.

The sound of silk and bamboo singing and dancing continued to spread, and the air was not only filled with the aroma of delicious food and wine, but also the scent of rouge.

Facing the main seat in the center, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty was only wearing a goose-yellow inner shirt. He raised his glass drunkenly, and said with a smile, "Come, come, dear friends, have another drink with me!"

Below him, there are six tables on the left and right sides of the hall. On the left side are the courtiers, and on the right side are six old monks.

When the emperor spoke, all the favored ministers raised their wine glasses one after another, and the national teachers replaced the wine with tea. After a respect, they raised their heads and drank it, and then turned their cups down to indicate that they had finished drinking.

"Good! Good! Good!" Seeing this, the emperor burst out laughing, stood up, staggered towards the dancing girl in the center of the hall, and said, "Your dear friends, don't be cautious! There are no monarchs and ministers in the palace today, and follow me dance!"

"My minister complies with the order." All the favored officials immediately stood up and joined in, writhing to the music of silk and bamboo.

All of a sudden, the entire hall was in a mess like a group of demons dancing wildly.

Those national teachers were much more reserved and did not participate in it, but looking at the calm expressions, they were obviously not surprised by the scene in front of them.

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!
At this time, a rush of heavy drums suddenly sounded, and it spread into the hall and spread throughout Jiankang City.

Many farmers who were clearing the snow paused, looked up in the direction of Dengwengu, but quickly lowered their heads and continued to work.
It's not that they are diligent, but that there are officials watching behind them. Once their movements slow down and the snow on the ground reaches their ankles, what awaits them is a whip.

If they miss their ankles twice in a row, they will be kicked out of Jiankang.

Although sweeping snow is bitter, cold and tiring, at least they can barely survive. If they are driven out, there is only one dead end waiting for them.

So the children of rich officials and eunuchs in the city and the monks in the temple got together in their spare time and discussed it.

"Dengwen Drum? Why do people dare to beat Dengwen Drum? Are you not afraid of death?"

"It must be Lengtouqing from other places. I don't know where I heard about the Dengwen drum, so I played the drum recklessly!"

"Well, it's very possible. Let's go and see, which fool dares to do such a thing."

"In such a cold day, I want you to go, but I won't. What's so good about dead people? Haven't you seen enough in this time?"

……

With the sound of the Dengwen drum, the sound of silk and bamboo in the Hall of Bliss also stopped, and the faces of all the favored officials changed slightly, they secretly glanced at each other, and then turned their eyes to the emperor.

The Dengwen Drum was not the first to be set up in the Southern Dynasties. As early as the ancient Yaoshun era, there was a "Drum of Dare to Remonstrate".

The Southern Dynasties also followed the practice of the previous dynasties, and set up Dengwen drums outside the palace gates. Ordinary people could beat the drums and sing songs to appeal for grievances, or to make suggestions to the imperial court, or to raise objections to policies, etc.

The Taizu of the Southern Dynasties even had an ancestral precept that whenever the Dengwen drum was played, the emperor must go to court no matter what he was doing.

Of course, this ancestral precept is just talking, the last one who played the Dengwen drum, the last one who played the Dengwen drum, the last one who played the Dengwen drum...

They have all been killed by the emperor!

Now at this time, what can the drummer say?
It's nothing more than a snowstorm!
Doesn't His Majesty know?

His Majesty is very clear, but he doesn't care, let alone want to hear it.

"Come on!"

Sure enough, the moment the emperor heard Dengwen's drum, his face changed, and his expression instantly became ferocious, like a tiger that was about to eat people. He roared and summoned the guards outside the palace, and said, "You guys, go and give me something!" Arrest that bastard who beat the Dengwen drum indiscriminately, and beat him to death with a stick!"

Then he yelled at the musicians and dancers around him: "Did I tell you to stop? Keep playing the music, keep dancing!"

The musicians and dancers turned pale with fright, and the sound of silk and bamboo music sounded again.

Can't those damn bastards make me feel better?

Don't I know that the snowstorm is serious?

But I am not a god or Buddha, so what can I do?
The emperor's eyes were wide open, panting heavily, he picked up the wine glass and drank several glasses, and his expression gradually eased.

At the very beginning, seeing the severe snowstorm, he was also worried about the safety of the people all over the world, and he even allowed a group of ministers to help the disaster relief. Later, when he saw the Yangtze River was frozen, he was also worried that the Northern Dynasty would take the opportunity to attack.

But now, he doesn't care anymore.

This blizzard has lasted for two years, and there is no sign of stopping.

Those grassroots are already dead, and those who are not dead are dying soon, so there is no need to waste energy on them.

The disaster on the northern side was more serious than their side. Although the Yangtze River was frozen, the road leading to the Yangtze River was also blocked by snow. can't do it.

Now he only has two thoughts and only two things to do!
First, if you have wine today and are drunk today, you will be happy every day.

Second, build temples, cast Buddha statues, gild the Buddha's body, and generously reward monks and temples in the country.

Since there is no hope in this life, he wants to go to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss after death, or to be the emperor for the rest of his life in the next life.

This is also the reason why the Nanchao Guoshi changed from one to six!
It was snowing heavily outside the hall, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the hall became more and more passionate and loud. For a moment, it seemed that the old days of singing and dancing were restored.

But soon, the emperor's face darkened again, even uglier than before.

because--

The sound of Dengwen's drums outside did not stop, but became louder and louder!

The dancing movements of the favored ministers also slowed down a bit, carefully observing the emperor's expression, for fear of being angered.

boom!
The emperor suddenly grabbed the wine jar in his hand, slammed it on the head of a musician, and roared sharply: "You don't play well, what are you doing?! Don't you want to see my jokes?!"

As soon as the sound of silk and bamboo in the hall stopped, all the musicians and dancers turned pale and trembling with fright, looking at the furious emperor in horror.

The musician's head was broken and bloody, but he didn't dare to wipe it at all. He just knelt down and kowtowed: "I don't dare! I don't dare! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"Come on, pull him down! Kill him!"

The emperor ignored his begging for mercy, and summoned a guard commander, and said, "Those wastes have been away for so long, why hasn't the sound of drums stopped! You lead a group of people over there to have a look! If within three quarters of an hour, If the drumbeat doesn't stop, you don't have to come back!"

"Sir, obey the order."

The commander of the guards changed his face, hurried out of the palace gate, and summoned his soldiers, but before they had gone far, the Dengwen drum suddenly stopped.

Finally stopped!
The commander-in-chief of the guards breathed a sigh of relief, his steps slowed down, and he looked a little regretful.

Those who dare to beat the Dengwen Drum at this time, regardless of their own life and death, must be loyal people with the world in mind!
pity!There is one less loyal man!
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a noisy sound from a distance, and there was a faint sound of weapons colliding.

"Quick! Stop them quickly! If we run into His Majesty, we will all die!"

"Stop! Great Monk, trespassing on the important place of the palace is a capital crime for punishing the nine clans! Aren't you looking for death?"

"The Palace of Bliss is ahead, we can't let them go any further!"

……

Someone trespassed on the palace? !
The commander of the guards was taken aback, hurriedly quickened his pace, and led a group of his men to rush towards the outside of the palace.

However, before they dared to go outside the palace, they just passed through a palace gate, and ran into the group of rebellious officials and thieves who dared to trespass in the palace.

The leader was a monk wearing a bright red monk robe with half of his shoulders bare, like a general who was better than a monk.

He holds a Zen stick in his right hand and a golden bowl in his left hand, with a heavy face, firm steps, and determination to move forward.

Behind the big monk, there is a young monk wearing a light blue monk robe with unusually handsome facial features. He looks seventeen or eighteen years old, not very old, but his black and bright eyes are full of excitement and fear that the world will not be chaotic, which is especially attractive. people pay attention.

Later, the composition of personnel is more complicated.

There was a gorgeously dressed pretty woman in a black gauze dress, two tall, round, dark men, and even an old couple who looked about six or seventy years old, leading a seven or eight-year-old girl by the hand.

Compared with the great monk's indomitable spirit and the young monk's excitement, these people in the latter were much more normal, with their eyes flickering and their expressions full of uneasiness.

But what he couldn't understand was that there were thousands of soldiers surrounded by this group of people, but all of these soldiers were terrified, and they only threatened them fiercely, and none of them dared to step forward.

So much so that a large group of them were forced back again and again by the few mobs in this area.

"Shen Kang! What are you doing!"

The commander of the guards got a little angry, and shouted: "Hurry up and take them down! If you disturb His Majesty, you have enough heads to chop off!"

"You know shit!"

Shen Kang cursed back angrily, but he also knew that the commander of the guards was telling the truth, so he immediately ordered the archers who were ready: "Shoot for me!"

Commander of the guards: "???"

Just so old and young, do you use bows and arrows?

But soon, he knew why.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Arrows soared into the sky one by one, with cold light shining, and fell down like a torrential rain.

In such a situation, let alone these few people, even if there are 100 or [-] people, they will be shot into a hornet's nest in an instant.

But at this moment, the great monk suddenly flew up into the air and flicked the monk's sleeve.

Swish!
The arrows all over the sky were completely rolled in by his sleeve, and then, with a flick of his hand, the arrows flew back at a faster speed than when they came.

The faces of the soldiers changed greatly in fright, and they tried to dodge in a hurry, but it was too late, and a large area was directly shot down by the arrow, and the sound of wailing continued to resound.

But, howling and howling, they realized that something was wrong——

How come we are not dead yet?
And, what about blood?Why didn't the place where the arrow was shot bleed, and it didn't seem to hurt much?

They looked down, only to realize that those arrows had no arrows, and what they shot at them were only wooden sticks.

The soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, their expressions full of shock and disbelief.

thump!
I don't know which soldier knelt down first, and the other soldiers also knelt down on the ground one after another, and kowtowed vigorously: "Holy Monk is merciful! Thank you Holy Monk for sparing our lives!"

"Get up! Get up for me!"

Shen Kang came back to his senses, and shouted sharply: "What kind of shit is he! The real monk is the national teacher, and they are in the palace! This is just a demon method! If you don't get up again, wait until the national teacher accepts it!" Your majesty will not let you go, this evildoer!"

However, no matter how much he kicked and shouted, none of the soldiers paid attention to him, and just knelt there, kowtowing their heads constantly.

"Monk, hurry up and put away your demon skills, or wait for the national teacher..."

Before Shen Kang finished speaking, he saw the great monk looking over him coldly.

With just one glance, his face turned pale with fright, and he sat down on the ground, full of words, unable to utter a word.

On the contrary, the commander-in-chief of the guards was well-informed, and even seeing this situation, he still had some courage, and stepped forward and asked, "Monk, who are you? Why did you trespass on the palace? The Dengwen drum just now, but you beat it loud?"

"Poor monk Fahai. The Dengwen drum just now was played by the poor monk."

Fahai said: "The poor monk heard that as long as the Dengwen drum is sounded, the emperor must go to the court no matter who it is, at any time. Why did the poor monk beat the drum for so long, but the emperor did not come out?"

"Presumptuous!" Seeing Fa Hai's politeness, the commander of the guards became more courageous, and scolded: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, how can you see him just by saying you see him?"

Immediately afterwards, he slowed down his tone and said, "Grand Monk, Your Majesty is currently in the palace discussing state affairs with the state teachers. If you have something to do..."

"At this point, you guys still want to lie to me?!" Fahai interrupted him sharply, and scolded: "That Wudao and stupid king is obviously drinking and having fun in the palace, so how can he be discussing state affairs? As for you Those few national teachers... Huh, they are just a group of evildoers who are destructive to the country!"

After all, Fa Hai soared into the sky and flew towards the Palace of Ultimate Bliss, his whole body was full of Buddha's light, like a King Kong coming to the world, he glared angrily, and shouted sharply: "You evildoers, don't show your original shape quickly!"
