The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 114

Today, the ruler of the Yueguang Kingdom has three sons and a daughter. The eldest son likes to fight and is stationed at the border all the year round.The second son, Xiwen, spends his days in literati and poetry clubs, or just chatting about gossip, while his daughter has already been married off.Although the youngest son was the youngest, he was also the emperor's favorite and was ordered to patrol the capital.

Not only the city defense of the capital is under his control, but also the security of the capital is under his control, which is equivalent to the combination of the commander of the theater + the chief of the police.

With such a big event happening in the city, the prince in charge of public security naturally wanted to ask about it.

Sitting in a carriage, they soon came to a place that was obviously different from the architectural style of the surrounding civilians. There were many buildings and pavilions.

Guided by an officer, the two went upstairs and met the Fourth Prince of Koshiko Kingdom on a terrace.

He looks a little younger than Lin Tianci, and he doesn't look like a general, but more like a rich man who likes to play outside.

"Little Wang Deng Ziyu, I have met the two elders."

"The prince is very polite."

After exchanging pleasantries, a servant brought fragrant tea, and after dismissing everyone, Deng Zici asked tentatively:

"May I ask where the two immortal masters came from?"

"I'm a talisman gatekeeper."

"The poor monk is from Baoguang Temple."

Hearing the answers from the two of them, Deng Ziyu's face was moved, but he concealed it very well, and the surprise was fleeting.

Baoguang Temple is only a medium-sized sect in terms of size and strength, but unlike many other immortal sects that hide their names, Baoguang Temple is open to ordinary believers, so its reputation among mortals is not low.

Not to mention the Divine Talisman Gate, its reputation is as great as thunder.

"To tell you the truth, just now I saw the flames rising into the sky in the city, and the thunderbolt falling from the blue sky. Not only the people feel uneasy, but even Xiao Wang is also shocked. Can you talk to me in detail?"

This is also the purpose of Lin Tianci to come here to talk nonsense. It is true that monks and mortal emperors will not interfere with each other, but monks must also give the emperor enough respect and not let their temper go wild.

Monk Jing Wu was not good at words, and he didn't seem to want to say more, so Lin Tianci told Deng Ziyu what he had just said to Miss Tang.

"So that's the case. I didn't expect that there would be evil things mixed into the city. On behalf of the people in the city, I would like to thank the Taoist priest and the master for their help. If it weren't for the two evil things, I don't know what troubles they would have caused."

Monk Jingwu was not very interested, he lowered his head and said:
"Excellent reputation, I'll wait... alas!"

"You two have a benevolent heart. This is a blessing for the people of the world, but the world is unpredictable. Please don't mind the two immortals."

Deng Ziyu also saw that the two of them were still sad about not being able to save Yang Xiucai, so most of the conversations that followed were comforting and chatting.

But this small talk was not so simple. The words revealed that they hoped that Lin Tianci and Monk Jingwu would stay longer. To put it more clearly, it was more like a solicitation than a friendship.

Ordinary people know the existence of monks, and the common people are in awe of them, but the emperor hopes to use monks to make profits.

This is normal. Although it is impossible for monks to take part in wars and national games, as long as there are monks in charge, it is very advantageous in diplomacy.

However, the third prince also knew that the two could make friends but could not be recruited, because monks who were born in the sect were restricted by sect rules, and they would not be allowed to participate in disputes in the country.

Monk Jingwu saw the third prince's plan. Lin Tianci didn't know, but he did. Plus he was in a bad mood, so he really didn't have any intention of continuing the chat.

"Xiao Wang has ordered someone to prepare an afternoon banquet and vegetarian food. I also invite the two of you to honor me, so that Xiao Wang can show his kindness as a landlord."

In normal times, Lin Tianci would definitely have a big meal without hesitation, anyway, it's not for nothing.

However, I was in a bad mood today, and I was not in the mood to enjoy the delicious food. Just as I was about to decline, there was a rush of footsteps going upstairs quickly.

"Report!"

The messenger appeared outside the terrace, which made Deng Ziyu frown slightly:

"Forgive me, you two, the subordinates don't understand the rules."

"It's okay, Your Highness is busy with business, and we are the ones who bother you."

Lin Tianci wanted to take advantage of the situation and get up to say goodbye, but the messenger reported:
"Your Majesty, Miss Tang killed herself at home while I was waiting..."

"Bastard! You group of soldiers who are proficient in martial arts can't stand a weak woman?"

The orderly quickly knelt down:

"Please forgive me, Your Highness, please forgive me! Ms. Tang's death has been decided, and I'll wait..."

Lin Tianci didn't listen carefully to what they said next, and the thing he was most worried about happened.

The parents passed away, the lover died early, and the successive blows crushed Miss Tang's family. Lin Tianci and Monk Jingwu couldn't do anything about it, because no matter what they said, the other party couldn't listen.

Maybe this ending is better for Miss Tang who is already alone?

Lin Tianci shook his head, he didn't think death was a good thing, there was always hope in life, but in death, nothing was left.

At this time, I felt something in my heart, and turned my head to look at the clear sky outside the terrace.

He seemed to see a young man dressed as a scholar slowly climbed into the sky, and then a woman in green clothes followed quickly, standing very close beside the scholar, as if chasing him from behind.

If you look closely, there seems to be a red thread connecting their wrists, which cannot be cut off or hidden.

Look again, all kinds of illusions are gone, and the sky is still blue and intoxicating.

Turning around, Lin Tianci took a sip of tea and said with emotion:

"The advent of what love is……"

Monk Jingwu proclaimed the Buddha's name and responded:

"To teach life is better than death."

"..."

Are you sure you didn't sabotage the atmosphere on purpose?

Monk Jingwu clasped his hands together and said:

"All conditioned dharmas are like dream bubbles, dew and electricity, and should be viewed in this way."

This sentence comes from the Diamond Sutra, and its original meaning is to persuade people to 'let go'.

Zhuangzi and Xiaoyaoyou also have similar words.

Life is like a fog and a dream, and it is easy to be born and die.

It means that you don't have to be attached to what you have experienced, but look at it with a calm heart.

That being said, how many people can really let go?
"My master once said that the world is suffering, but it is not demons and ghosts that torment the world, nor is it the hardships of life, but the seven emotions and six desires. Only when things can't be moved, and desires can't be longed, can one be liberated and detached."

Lin Tianci couldn't agree with this statement, completely extinguishing all emotions and desires, what is the difference between this person alive and dead?
But this is Master Jingwu's opinion, he can't say much, he can only ask:
"Monk, do you think so too?"

Monk Jingwu hesitated for a moment and said:

"Young monk, I don't believe it."

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

Miss Tang's suicide committed suicide. The news made Lin Tianci, who was not in the mood to stay for dinner, not want to stay any longer, so he took his leave and left with Monk Jingwu.

Deng Ziyu didn't force it either, and after sending the two away, she couldn't help but sigh heavily.

He was not worried about the Miss Tang family, but for the precarious Yueguang Kingdom.

The current monarch is fatuous and innocent, obsessed with the beauty of the harem all day long, and has not been in court for more than ten years.

Internally, officials in the DPRK and China wantonly form cliques for personal gain, while externally, neighboring countries are eyeing each other covetously, so they have no choice but to increase military expenditures.

As a result, the increased expenditure and the plundering of powerful officials fell on the common people.

With such a high-pressure policy, there are many situations where good people turn into bandits like Qingshui Village. If it continues, the country of Yueguang will perish.

Deng Ziyu wanted to change, but it was not easy because of the small number of people.

So when I heard that there were monks catching monsters in the city, my first reaction was to hope to win over one or two.

But the result is clear to everyone, he can only continue to worry.

Putting down the teacup, staring at the clear blue sky, Deng Ziyu took something out of his arms.

It looks like a jade pendant, but in the center of the white jade there is a glaring scarlet, like flowing plasma, which makes the scalp tingle.

This object was delivered to his bed by a man in black of unknown origin. The man once said that as long as a thousand people are sacrificed, he can ascend to the throne.

It is said that Deng Ziyu does not lack the courage that one should have, but...

This will be an evil path, how to take it all depends on yourself.

He stared at the piece of jade for half an hour before letting out a heavy breath.

Call your confidants, put the jade pendant in a kit, and hand it over to the sergeant:

"Take this thing out of the city and bury it in a secluded place in the wilderness. Remember not to open it, otherwise your head will be lost."

The subordinate was sweating on his forehead, knowing the seriousness of the matter, he promised to take over.

"Your Highness, wait a minute."

At this moment, a voice came to the terrace.

"who!"

The confidant got up quickly and drew a knife to protect the prince.

The next moment, I saw a young man in white and a monk in a monk's robe standing on the side of the terrace, as if they had been there all along.

"Stand back"

"This is!"

The guard hesitated for a moment, and stood on the left side of His Highness the Third Highness, holding the handle of the knife vigilantly.

Deng Ziyu is also a bachelor, he said bluntly:
"Who are you two?"

"In the lower gate of the talisman, Lu Qian, this master is Master Jingkong of Baoguang Temple."

When the monk heard Lu Qian calling him master, he snorted unhappily, but didn't say anything more.

It's the Divine Talisman Gate and Baoguang Temple again!
Deng Ziyu said respectfully:

"The two are Lin Daochang and Master Jingwu...?"

"We are their brothers."

Lu Qian also returned a salute, and continued:
"Your Highness, can I have a look at the kit?"

Sure enough, paper can't hold fire...

Deng Ziyu secretly thought, without showing any dissatisfaction on his face, he happily handed over the kit to Lu Qian.

The latter untied the kit and poured the jade pendant into his hand.

As they stared at the piece of jade, both Lu Qian and Monk Jingkong had serious expressions on their expressions.

"May I ask where your highness got this jade?"

"From an unknown man in black, he tried to lure me to sacrifice my life to him."

The God Talisman Sect and Baoguang Temple have both come to the door, and Deng Ziyu has no need to hide it. If they continue to hide it, if they think that they have colluded with those guys, it will be very bad.

"Your Highness agreed?"

"The elder was just joking. If Xiao Wang agrees, he will be dead by now."

In fact, the extinction of body and spirit is not enough, but the end will definitely not be much better...
