Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 320
This time it was Hu Qian's turn to be surprised.

"Have you ever heard the word soap?"

"Yes, but I still can't remember where I heard it."

Hu Qian was a little strange.

Judging from the reactions of Hu Chengxi and others, there should be no such thing as soap in the palace before.

But Zhiqin said where she had heard of it.

Could it be a coincidence?
Or... the soap she heard was something else.

In order to confirm what she said, Hu Qian invited her to watch her making soap.

"Although I don't know what the process is like, I seem to have seen this thing called soap."

She couldn't think of it for a while, and Hu Qian couldn't keep asking, so he changed the topic to Baiyun Temple.

What Hu Qian didn't expect was that Zhiqin also knew about Abbot Zhiming.

"Abbot Zhiming is an old Zen master respected by everyone near the capital. Not only is he proficient in Buddhism, but he also knows the magic of subjugating demons, and he is the chief commander of the demon suppressing division..."

"How about Da Si Ming? Do you know each other?"

"I also know..."

Zhiqin suddenly thought of what Hu Qian had told her before, that the real Da Si Ming might be dead.

When he was talking, Hu Chengxi asked to see him, saying that the elders had something to discuss with Hu Qian.

When they arrived at Jianji Hall, Xu Yuanfang, Shen Lian, Ruan Conghai, and Bai Yufeng were already waiting here.

Seeing Hu Qian, he bowed immediately.

Hu Qian waved his hand, motioned for a few people to sit down, then passed the fragrant tea, and then asked: "What's the matter?"

Bai Yufeng said: "The fact that the Emperor is in charge of the Great Treasure has been announced to the world, and envoys from Wuse Kingdom and Anxi Kingdom have come to congratulate them with letters of credence and congratulatory gifts..."

Hu Qian said: "Why don't you see Dongyang Kingdom?"

"It may be that the waterway is far away, so it hasn't arrived yet.

Now that the envoy has settled down, he just needs to be received by the emperor. "

Hu Qian nodded, "Well, let's do it tomorrow."

"There is another matter. The gifts from the two countries are placed in the post house, but the beauties presented are not good enough to be arranged in the post house."

"beauty?"

"Yes, there are five beauties from the Black Country, and two from the Anxi Country..."

Hu Qian said, "What do those envoys mean?"

"They want to send these consecrated beauties to the palace."

Hu Qian nodded, "Is there anything else?"

Guo Yudao: "Your Majesty, Koryo invaded the border of our country repeatedly, burning, killing and looting. They invaded again a few days ago and stole countless money and food. How to deal with it, I ask the emperor to rule."

Hu Qian frowned, "Korea?"

In my impression, this Koryo country seems to be in the northeast of the Da Xia country, a nomadic country on horseback. When the year is good, it robs less, and when the year is not good, it plunders a lot.

In any case, he regarded the Great Xia Kingdom as his warehouse.

"Your Majesty, the foundation of the country is not stable, so rashly using troops against Korea may not be worth the loss."

"Your Majesty, the previous dynasty also used troops against Koryo, but the enemy is very good at horse fighting. If the pursuit is not deep, it will be difficult to catch the enemy. If the pursuit is deep, it is very likely that the army will go deep alone and the entire army will be wiped out."

Hu Qian said: "How did Da Qianchao deal with it?"

The expressions of several people changed slightly.

"Actually, there is no good way, just strengthen border defense."

"But big cities and important towns are guarded by soldiers, and those villages..."

"A lot of times in the previous dynasty, they turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye. As long as the troubles in Koryo were not too much, they would ignore them."

Hu Qian said: "This time, they made a fuss too much?"

"Tens of thousands of civilians were killed and injured along the Mosha River at the junction of the two countries, and thousands of people were taken away..."

Hu Qian said: "There is no need to continue talking, let's send troops to conquer."

"But this..."

"Zhen will choose Wu Wannian, who knows magic, as the general, and it is expected that he will definitely defeat the enemy."

After hearing this, several people felt relieved.

Although this Wu Wannian's mana might not be as powerful as the emperor's, it must be more than enough to deal with mortals.

At the same time, Hu Qian also gave Wu Wannian a death order—how many people must die at the border, how many people must die in Koryo, and finally capture their emperor.

On the same day, Wu Wannian received the imperial decree and set off for the northwest.

While in the imperial palace, Hu Qian saw seven beauties presented by Wu and Se in Qianming Palace.

They all wear the unique costumes of their own countries. Although their skin colors are different, they all have good faces, charming figures,

Especially the five women of Wuse Kingdom.

It's hard for Hu Qian not to notice the deep pectoralis major and gluteal muscles.

Although he couldn't compare with Kushaxin, he was taller and had longer legs, and had different tastes than the women of Xia Kingdom. Standing there, he was five passionate horses.

Even though Hu Qian is a well-informed rider, he still has the desire to conquer in his heart.

As for the woman from Anxi Country, she was similar to the beauties in Southeast Asia that Hu Qian knew.

Different from the short, black, and big nose of the Southeast Asian woman in the previous life, although the complexions of the two people in front of them are not fair, they have nothing to do with black.

The facial features are exquisite and three-dimensional, almost like the mixed blood of Xia Guo people and Wu Se people.

It's just that these two are much shorter than the black beauty.

Hu Qian looked at it for a while and asked, "Can you speak Xia Guo dialect?"

In the silence, a black woman said: "Your Majesty, I can speak a little bit."

Hu Qian looked over curiously, "Oh, what's your name?"

"My name is Saya, and I was Kushaxin's maid before."

Hu Qian smiled, "I see, how is Kushaxin now?"

"The queen is very good, and let me congratulate the emperor on her behalf."

Hu Qian nodded, "Thank you.

But since you are here now, you are from the Great Xia Kingdom. "

Then, he waved his hands and said, "Hu Chengxi, take them to find Zhiying."

Although it was contributed by foreign countries, it is uncertain whether there will be assassins, or whether some of them have been cast as ghosts.

Thinking of this, he stopped Hu Chengxi again, called to him, and gave instructions in a low voice.

Hu Chengxi was taken aback for a moment, then as if he was trying to memorize something, he firmly wrote down Hu Qian's words.

In the evening, Hu Qian and Shen Yuzhen talked, and then left the palace alone, and after putting on the invisibility talisman, they went to Baiyun Temple in the dark.

The night was dark, but luckily we had cleared the way before, otherwise it might be the same as last time.

After walking up the mountain road for a long time, I saw a thick tree with a crooked neck standing on the side of the mountain road.

Walking around the crooked neck tree, you can see an ancient temple hidden in the darkness.

He quietly climbed over the courtyard wall, and landed on the ground silently like a night cat.

There are many ancient temples and courtyards. Judging from where Hu Qian was standing, this Baiyun Temple is not much smaller than the imperial palace.

Such a big temple has never been heard of before.

And what surprised him was that even though the night was dark, there were still pilgrims chanting scriptures in the Daxiong Palace.

He looked around and found no ghosts.

This surprised him very much. It stands to reason that since Hong Shougao and Zhiming were reminded, there were no ghosts in the former's residence, and there were no ghosts here either.

Could it be that this case has nothing to do with ghosts?
Immediately thinking about it, I felt that it was impossible.

What kind of a character is the chief commander of the town demon division? If he hadn't become a ghost with strong weather and powerful mana, how could he be killed.

While thinking, he wandered around the temple, hoping to find Abbot Zhiming's residence.

But after searching for a long time, he couldn't find it. Just as he was about to ask someone, he suddenly heard a voice asking, "Is the Buddha bone that can recite sutras you mentioned real?"

"Of course it's true. If monks don't tell lies, I can still lie to you."

"This is the best way, monks don't lie to monks."

"That Buddha bone is very powerful. Not only has it won a great reputation for that temple, but I also heard that if you have this Buddha bone by your side, your practice will be much faster than usual!"

"Is there such a wonderful thing?!"

"Of course!"

"If you have the chance, you must try it."

"However, I heard that after the last time it was stolen, this Buddha bone will basically not be easily shown to others."

"That's a pity, I still want to see and see."

"Okay, let's go, Master is still waiting for us."

"I really don't want to go, my mana is so low, how can I win them.

Once he loses, he might be severely humiliated by those guys from Arhat Hall. "

"Don't worry, with our strength, even if we lose, they won't dare to mess around with the abbot around."

Hu Qian was listening to the Buddha bone, when he heard Abbot Zhiming, he immediately followed.

After passing through the hall, the two monks walked out of the darkness and entered a large hall.

The two said the Buddhist salute to the monk guarding the gate, and then walked quickly into the hall.

Hu Qian looked over curiously, and saw that the hall was full of people, and all the people in the hall were shiny monks' heads.

The two monks walked to the end of the hall, sat down behind the group of monks, and waited quietly.

Hu Qian felt strange, and followed in, found a corner and sat down.

After a while, there were more and more monks in the main hall, and finally there was no room to sit in the main hall, and many monks could only stand outside.

Hu Qian was surprised that there were so many monks in Baiyun Temple.

After a while, a monk called out, "The abbot is here."

A group of monks immediately proclaimed the Buddha's name and quietly looked at the old monk in front of him.

Hu Qian also looked over quickly, and saw that the Zhiming monk had a very majestic appearance, with a square mouth and wide ears, and the earlobes were unusually thick, almost hanging down to his shoulders.

Don't say what kind of abbot he is, even if someone says he is a Buddha, Hu Qian is not very surprised.

It's just that after looking at it with Youtong's supernatural power, I found that Zhiming was not a god or ghost, but just a person.

As for whether there is a nightmare in his body, it is unknown.

Zhiming sat down on the futon above, and spoke directly.

Hu Qian thought he would say something, but who knew it was the Diamond Sutra.

Hu Qian thinks that he has also met many eminent monks and teachers, and they all talk about Buddhism in a clear and eloquent way, with gorgeous rhetoric.

But the wise monk in front of him speaks simple and unpretentious words, and even a person like Hu Qian who has no sense of Buddhism can listen very intently.

I can't wait to worship under my Buddhist door immediately, and I will convert to Buddhism from now on, and I will never see the troubles of the world.

Looking at those monks and pilgrims standing outside the hall, their eyes were even more blurred. If they were asked to sacrifice themselves for the Buddha, no one would refuse.

Hu Qian's heart skipped a beat, it seemed that such lectures were beyond the reach of ordinary people!

Rather than talking about scriptures, it is more appropriate to say it is brainwashing.

But I can't see any problem...

Could it be that this wisdom is using magic?
What spell is so powerful?
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to hold back for the time being.

After hearing the end, Zhiming got up and left, and Hu Qian hurriedly followed.

However, when he got to the dark place, Zhiming suddenly said: "This benefactor, although I don't know who you are, please don't follow me anymore, okay!"

Hu Qian was stunned on the spot almost immediately, this wise monk unexpectedly found him using the invisibility talisman.

However, judging from his tone and eyes, the other party seemed to be unsure of his location, but he could probably tell that there was someone else in the room.

When Hu Qian was hesitating, he saw the Zhiming monk said again: "If you refuse to show up, please leave and don't come again."

Hu Qian still didn't make a sound, just watched Zhiming's next reaction.

Sure enough, he stopped talking and just listened to the movement around him with his ears.

Hu Qian knows that there is a saying that says that if the eyes cannot see, the other organs of the body will become sharper.

This wisdom seems to be the case.

Although he was not blind, Hu Qian noticed that his ears vibrated from time to time, as if he was listening to the movement around him.

Although Hu Qian is invisible, he has not disappeared from the space in front of him. As long as he moves, it will drive the air in the room.

Such a subtle difference may not be noticed by ordinary people, but Zhiming in front of him is obviously not an ordinary person.

He listened again, then smiled and said: "Since he refuses to leave, then this benefactor should stay here and rest."

Then he fell asleep on his own.

Hu Qian knew that he must have noticed that the airflow hadn't moved, so he could tell that Hu Qian hadn't left.

It's been difficult since then, I didn't expect to startle the snake the first time.

If that's the case, there's no need to hide it.

However, just as he was about to remove the invisibility talisman, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

"Brother Abbot, please see Zhixing."

"come in."

"Brother, you..."

After entering the door, Zhixing was about to speak, but Zhiming waved his hand to stop him.

Hu Qian saw everything, came out of the hall immediately, and waited for Zhixing to come out, intending to ask Zhixing for clues.

Sure enough, not long after, Zhixing came out with a hesitant expression.

After looking around for a while, he plunged into his bedroom.

Hu Qian followed suit step by step, and saw that there were many Buddhist scriptures in his room.

It's just that he is not a master like Zhiming, who can act as a demon through means, so he can't tell whether there are other people in the room.

After a while, he shook his head lightly, and went straight to read his Buddhist scriptures.

Hu Qian laughed at himself mockingly, it seems that Zhixing's vigilance is not small, and he was impermeable for a while.

Hu Qian had no other choice, and he didn't want to kill the nightmare ghost by using the magic talisman, because that would make the nightmare ghost in his body

When it exploded, it was another big trouble at that time.

Shaking his head, he then rushed out, taking advantage of the moonlight, to return to the palace.

In the morning, he received envoys from the Wuse Kingdom and the Anxi Kingdom.
