king of black mist.

Time was running out, so Emperor Jiajing immediately ordered the Ministry of Industry to build a [-]-foot-high five-color Aoshan lamp shed in the capital within three days, and ordered the eunuchs and maids to move out the Taoist books in the palace.

The Taoist scriptures that can be collected by a single country, Emperor Jiajing has already collected them in the palace.

In addition to the Daoist scriptures, he also ordered Wang Shouren's disciples at Yangming Academy to present all of Wang Shouren's manuscripts, which Emperor Jiajing looked down upon before;
Ordered Li Shizhen to select medical books;
Ordered all the officials of the Ming Dynasty, regardless of literary or martial arts, to send [-] books to the capital each, except for the secular classics.

"Lantern Festival...the Lantern Festival...the opportunity to become a fairy lies in the Lantern Festival!"

"Before I die, I still have a chance to give it a go. Hehe, God is kind to me!" Before laughing, his tone was old and weak, but after laughing, he was majestic and imposing.

"The opportunity to kill Jiajing has come! This is our last and best chance to complete the mission!"

"Go, go to the capital, grab the dragon veins, and become a fairy!"

Following the imperial edicts of Emperor Jiajing, the human calamity began completely.

◇

Li Qianxia's intestines are already remorseful now.

She pointed at Li Changzhou: "Look at what you did! It's all because of your greed that you attracted so many enemies!"

"Sister Qianxia, ​​don't be angry," said Li Changzhou's younger brother, leaning on the couch, peeling the oranges leisurely, "it's not because of the bitter cold, why the plum blossoms are so fragrant."

"I'm afraid you will be frozen to the bone!" Li Qianxia snatched the peeled orange, pinched a piece and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Wait, what did you call me just now—hiss! Oh...good...so sour~~" Li Qianxia covered her mouth as if she had a toothache, and blinked her eyes quickly like gravel.

"The fish jumps over the dragon gate, the higher the dragon gate is, the more powerful the dragon it becomes." Yao Chi laughed, "According to the classics I got, it's recorded like this."

"What classics?" Li Changzhou took another orange and peeled it.

"Some were dug out from the tomb by the Special Warfare Bureau, and some players just happened to enter the large sect in the dungeon and heard about it by chance."

Yang Qinglan said: "In any case, things have already happened. The first thing we should think about now is a solution, not reflection."

"You are at least ten realms higher than Qian Xia!" Li Changzhou offered to offer the peeled oranges.

"You eat." Yang Qinglan pushed his hand back with Ruyi.

"Afraid of sourness?" Li Changzhou tasted a petal, "Yes, it's sweet, try it."

He handed it over again, and Yang Qinglan reached out to pick it up.

"I'll try it!" Yaochi snatched it away, and she put it in her mouth, her expression changed—she closed her eyes, expressionless, except for her lips moving, as if she had fallen asleep.

Yang Qinglan looked at Li Changzhou.

"You're lucky." Li Changzhou couldn't bear it anymore, his eyes narrowed.

Yang Qinglan tapped him with Ruyi in his hand, at least Li Changzhou felt sweet in his heart at this moment.

After chatting for a while, when the ten people sent out to inquire about the news returned, Li Changzhou took out twenty blood beads and distributed them to them.

"The further you go, the more difficult things will be, and the more dangerous the situation will be. From now on, just do your best. If you are in danger, run as soon as possible. I have teleportation, but I may not be able to take care of you." Li Changzhou confessed.

Even Aferona, he didn't want to command her to make her desperate, let alone Bi and Yaochi's subordinates.

Not that he is kind.

This comes from his distrust of people in his heart, and he doesn't want to rely on anyone - there are various reasons, but sooner or later people will be separated, and Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia are his only exceptions.

In a sense, he is similar to Yang Qinglan, who has a sense of distance from others.

"Water Girl," Yao Chi also ordered, "After the fight, you watch them and take them away if there is any danger. I have a way to escape myself."

"Yes." The water girl nodded.

"You guys too, don't worry about me." Bi crossed her legs, put her hands behind her head, suspended in the air, and the candy automatically fed her to herself.

She carelessly confessed to the five Russian female players under her command.

"Princess, we must protect you!"

"Fart, it's the most dangerous if I follow you! With Li Gou here, if something happens, just send it away!"

"There's a lot of swearing, don't you teach her a lesson?" Li Changzhou looked at Yang Qinglan.

"The enemy is now, what's wrong with swearing?" Yang Qinglan took it for granted.

"Then can I tell her too?"

"No."

"I've eaten such a sour orange once in my life." Yao Chi opened his eyes and stared at the two of them, "I always thought oranges were sweet before."

"Life is rich." Yang Qinglan tapped her slender shoulders with Ruyi, and smiled lightly, like a spring flower just blooming.

"Sword, light and sword!" Li Qianxia compared a few orchid fingers (newly learning the thunderbolt method).

When everyone looked at her, she added solemnly: "I mean the outside."

Where there are people, there are swords and swords.

Therefore, the Dashan Buddha Hall, which has long been cut off from the incense in the palace, will not have swords and swords.

Li Changzhou stood in the hall, and the worshipers in the hall were nothing more than Tathagata cast in red copper, Avalokitesvara dressed in gold, Arhat, Wei Tuo, Maitreya Buddha and so on.

Standing next to him is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites Xia Yan, the chief assistant of the cabinet last year.

"Demolish!" Xia Yan waved his hand, and the eunuchs rushed forward, scraping gold powder and moving the lotus platform.

Not long after the start, the flashes of swords and swords came.

Boom!

Tathagata's head rolled down and hit the ground heavily, looking at everyone with compassion, as if saying: "Since you are ordered to tear down my golden body, let you tear it down."

"Amitabha," the abbot clasped his hands together with a sad face, "I am merciful."

The eunuchs stopped their movements and looked at Li Changzhou and Xia Yan hesitantly.

Before science can't explain everything, people will believe in something more or less. There used to be no car gods, but most people who buy cars in modern times will enshrine the car gods.

Modern people are like this, let alone these eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty.

Xia Yan glanced at the host, then swept around the eunuchs who had stopped, and said flatly, "The emperor is bigger, or is Xitian Tathagata bigger?"

The eunuchs covered Tathagata's head with gauze and continued to tear it apart.

Several eunuchs moved away a statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva with scriptures on its left shoulder and a sword on its right shoulder. When they passed by, Li Changzhou saw it.

He nodded in his heart, Yang Qinglan was right, the Buddhist golden body was indeed suitable for making a special edition golden crown.

Boom!

The head of another Buddha statue rolled down and landed beside Tathagata's head.

The gauze on Tathagata's head was slightly lifted by the wind, and he looked at everyone with the head of another Buddha statue strangely.

Li Changzhou looked along the second head, and saw a big-bellied bhikkhu with his chest exposed and a pleasant smile on his face.

Maitreya.

"It's the future Buddha!" ​​The abbot was taken aback. "With the wisdom of great compassion, he will lift up the suffering and go to the other shore; he will use the great lamp to illuminate the obsession and show the way to enlightenment. The future Buddha will fall, this, this—"

"You mean to say that I have no future in the Ming Dynasty?" Xia Yan said coldly.

"Amitabha." The abbot lowered his head.

"The Buddha still can't control our Daming. The only one who can decide the future of my Daming is the emperor!" Xia Yan looked at the eunuchs, "Continue to dismantle it for me, and those who dare to stop will be given thirty sticks!"

Li Changzhou thought for a while, and said to Xia Yan: "Lord Xia, there might be something wrong with this temple, send someone to check it out thoroughly."

Xia Yan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."

It could be a coincidence that one head fell off, and it could be a coincidence that two fell, but it's better to check than not to check.

Now that Li Changzhou has already dismantled the other party's golden body, and there is a festival between the two, if there is a situation, it must be dealt with immediately if it can be dealt with, and it cannot be left on the day of the Lantern Festival.

Not long after, a eunuch came to report.

"My lord Xia and Master Li have searched inside and out. There is nothing evil, only the last hall. The door of the hall is tightly closed, and there is a big lock on the animal ring."

"Where's the key?" Xia Yan looked at the abbot.

"Master Xia, in that hall—"

"Monks, don't lie, the Buddha is watching on the ground." Li Changzhou laughed.

The abbot hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Tathagata and Maitreya standing side by side on the ground.

He pondered for a while, then said in a deep voice: "There are strange noises in the hall from time to time, probably there are monsters, so don't open it lightly."

"There are monsters who dare not obey the order? The key." Xia Yan said.

"grown ups--"

"You want to resist the decree?" Xia Yan's voice and eyes forced him over.

The abbot sighed, chanted the Buddha's name, and took out a big key.

Xia Yan led the people all the way to the apse.

From the outside, it was obvious that the Buddhist hall had been abandoned for a long time, the front of the eaves was full of cobwebs, criss-crossing, and the lock on the door was almost several inches thick in dust.

A eunuch stepped forward, unlocked the lock, and pushed open the door.

Dust and musty smell hit the face.

Without waiting for his face, Li Changzhou swept his sleeves, and the strong wind swept over, blowing the odor and dust overwhelmingly to one side.

Xia Yan glanced at him, and led the people in, with Li Changzhou following behind.

The hall is dark and densely packed with Buddha statues.

A Buddha wearing a coat without a crown;

The Buddha of Immeasurable Light who folded his hands on his knees and formed the seal of meditation;
The pattern on the chest is like a flag sandalwood Buddha with tree rings; Vairocana Buddha clasped his fists, with the index fingers of both hands together, forming a wisdom fist seal;
The Baosheng Buddha with the meditation seal in the left hand and the wish seal in the right hand; the Bukong Buddha with the fearless seal in both hands; the Medicine Buddha who twists a pill in the right hand, or holds a small bowl in the left hand;

The center is dedicated to Sakyamuni Buddha.

Standing on the left and right are Manjusri Bodhisattva, Vajra Bodhisattva, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Obstacle Removing Bodhisattva, Kongkongzang Bodhisattva, Maitreya Bodhisattva, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

Below, there are also statues of the gods of the Heavenly Ministry, King Ming, and Dharma Guardians, all of whom hold majestic handprints and look at everyone.

These Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and heavenly kings are all golden bodies, staring at everyone with burning eyes.

The body is plump, the expression is serene, and it is amiable. You can feel the compassion of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and heavenly kings when you look at it.

Nothing is wrong.

"Ah!" A eunuch exclaimed suddenly.

"What are you arguing about?" Xia Yan scolded.

"Wall, wall!" the eunuch shouted intermittently.

Everyone saw that there were countless strange-shaped ghosts and women with painted temples and pink faces painted on the walls.

boom!
The gate of the hall was suddenly closed, and everyone's hearts jumped, almost flying out of their throats.

The hall became dark and deep.

"What, what's going on? Why did the door close by itself?"

"It's the wind!"

"Light it up!" Xia Yan shouted in a low voice.

With a cry, a eunuch lit an oil lamp, and immediately the walls were filled with shadows of people.

The benevolent Buddhas and Bodhisattvas smiled strangely in the firelight, and all eyes were on them.

Where does it look like a Buddhist hall, it is simply Fengdu City!
"My lord." A eunuch tremblingly asked for instructions.

"What are you panicking!" Xia Yan reprimanded, and then sneered at the Buddha statues, "I never imagined that there would be such an evil and obscene place in the palace. Li Zhenzhen, the emperor asked you to deal with it, what are you going to do?"

"What's Master Xia's opinion?" Li Changzhou looked at those patterns.

"It's all buried!"

"It's not good to bury it." Li Changzhou said, "If someone dug it up, it will cause trouble. The Buddhist hall was demolished and the Buddha statue was melted down."

At this time, Tathagata suddenly said:
"The emperor is older, or I am older?"

There were exclamations everywhere, and the eunuchs were so frightened that they almost knelt on the ground. The presiding officer clasped his hands together, rolled the prayer beads, and hurriedly recited the Buddha's name.

Xia Yan took a step back.

"Who is older, Tathagata or the emperor? I don't know, but what are you?" Li Changzhou pointed his finger, and the flames exploded and landed on Tathagata Jin.

In the raging fire, the Tathagata said again:

"The emperor is the king of people, and I am the king of the law. People who do not fear the law will be destroyed by heaven and earth."

The flames slowly shrunk and turned into a lotus platform, holding up the Tathagata's golden body, and circles of Buddha's light slowly emerged behind the golden body's head.

The golden body is also becoming more and more agile, like real human muscles.

Buddha is recovering?

Li Changzhou spread his palms, and the three thousand instincts gathered directly. Before the face of "Tathagata" changed, the Buddha's light at the back of his head was not yet complete, and the annihilation light had already shot over.

After half a month of practice, plus the Taoist scriptures he read these days, Li Changzhou still couldn't make the three thousand instincts not restrain each other, and burst out the maximum power, but he was able to control the range and make the power that could burst out more concentrated.

boom!
The entire Buddhist hall trembled violently, and the golden brick carpet outside the hall was set off like a carpet, bursting in the air.

A fiery beam of light pierced through the "Golden Body of Tathagata", shattered the roof, and plunged into the sky obliquely.

The sky shook, and the white clouds tore a hole silently, pouring down the light from the sky.

No ID card.

Not a player, or not dead?
The strange atmosphere in the hall had dissipated, and Li Changzhou vaguely felt the faint breath of dragon veins.

"You go out first," he said.

The people who were frightened by his divine power retreated and nodded in response: "Yes!"

Xia Yan frowned and walked over: "Do you need me to ask for an imperial decree?"

Any evil, as long as there is an imperial decree, it will be a bird in a cage or a fish in a pond that has been drained.

"Lord Xia, don't worry, I can handle it here." Li Changzhou smiled.

Xia Yan nodded, waved his sleeves and walked out.

Li Changzhou glanced at the Buddhist hall again, his figure disappeared, and then suddenly reappeared, Yang Qinglan was standing beside him.

"I'll explain the matter later, first look at the information about the Tathagata statue." Li Changzhou pointed to the Tathagata's golden body, which was missing half of its head.

Yang Qinglan Ruyi knocked, and a booklet flew out, hovering in front of the two of them, and the first page opened automatically.

After reading it, Li Changzhou said in surprise: "There is still this method."

"Those who can become immortals are either geniuses, hardworking, or very lucky. These people can think of any way to become immortals." Yang Qinglan said.

According to the information brochure, Yao Guangxiao, who helped Zhu Di win the throne, lived in this Buddhist hall.

According to history, he died as early as 1418, 122 years ago.

For the past 122 years, he has been hiding in the palace, relying on the dragon veins he borrowed from Zhu Di, cast spells for a short time, and arranged a formation.

The Son of Heaven ruled the world with propriety.

Outside the temple, seniors and young are in order; inside the temple, there is a difference between seniority and inferiority.

And Yao Guangxiao set up a "ruthless array" with the image of the most heinous rudeness in the world, and used rudeness to fight against etiquette. In the Forbidden City, he stole the dragon's veins every moment.

For a full 122 years, Yao Guangxiao was even able to barely use Buddhism and Taoism in the palace. If there were no players, he would be invincible in the Forbidden City, and he might really become a fairy in the future.

It's a pity that the player came, and it was Li Changzhou who came.

If Li Changzhou came but didn't find him, with Yao Guangxiao's control over the dragon's veins, he might not be able to identify who would seize the dragon's veins and become immortal on the day of the Lantern Festival.

"Look," Li Changzhou seemed slightly satisfied, "If I don't cause trouble and want to make a fuss about the Golden Crown, sooner or later I will still be attacked by Yao Guangxiao."

"Isn't it because I reminded you that Buddhist golden bodies can be used as materials?" When there were only two of them, Yang Qinglan would not give way to Li Changzhou.

"That is, the Tathagata of the Western Paradise and the emperor of the world are not as big as my Miss Yang!"

Yang Qinglan wanted to say something else, she glanced at the gate of the palace, and gave Li Changzhou another look, asking him to send her back.
