Chapter 164 The Monk in the Dream

Shen Sanmu looked solemn.

He didn't listen to a word of what Nian Tianfu said.

"Old Shen, you're promising." Nian Tianfu sarcastically got up and left.

Shen Sanmu recovered from his contemplation, tapped his finger on the table lightly, and said after a while: "Ru Sui, tell Dad about that dream again, the more detailed the better."

"Father, do you think His Majesty is really a monster?" Shen Rusui wanted to solve her doubts before talking about her dream.

Shen Sanmu scolded angrily, warning Shen Rusui to get this idea out of his mind quickly.

Shen Rusui stuck out her tongue with a smile.

People all over the world know how the Empress treats the people. Even if the Empress is a monster, Shen Rusui thinks it's nothing.

If the empress is not a monster, then she can only be a fairy.

No mortal can live that long.

……

Bian Lang has the token given by Shangguan Hongyu.

This token is made of thick rattan, and the rattan used was taken from her body by Shangguan Hongyu. Seeing this token, it feels like the empress is here in person.

The number of these tokens is very small, no one in the court holds them, only when some officials are doing important things, Shangguan Hongyu will occasionally reward one, so that the officials can do things more conveniently.

But after the matter is completed, the token will be taken back by Shangguan Hongyu.

Bian Lang showed his token, and the guards were all kneeling on the ground, not even daring to say a word.

When she came to Shangguan Hongyu's bedroom, she saw Shangguan Hongyu sitting in the yard, staring at a dead plum tree in a daze.

The sudden appearance of Bian Lang startled her.

"Honey, you're here." Shangguan Hongyu got up and snuggled into Bian Lang's arms.

Holding Shangguan Hongyu in his arms again, Bian Lang realized that the previous encounter was not a dream.

After searching for tens of thousands of years, there has been no news. Suddenly, they can embrace each other, which feels unreal.

Bian Lang asked with a smile, "Why are you in a daze?"

"I just feel that I may not be able to hide my identity anymore." Shangguan Hongyu sighed.

She already knew about the rumors that caused a sensation in the imperial capital.

It was because the rumors were true that it bothered her so much.

Bian Lang said with a smile: "Exposed is exposed, I don't think it's a big deal."

"That's right, if the common people don't need me anymore, I can follow my husband to drive away corpses." The most unforgettable thing for Shangguan Hongyu is the days when she followed Bian Lang to drive away corpses.

Bian Lang said: "But those who want to harm you, I will make them pay a hundred times the price."

Shangguan Hongyu smiled and nodded.

In the past, no matter what happened to her, she was silently carrying it alone.

It's all right now, there's nothing to be afraid of when there are waves.

"Watching more circuses can send the same scenes into dreams, and ordinary people definitely can't do it." Shangguan Hongyu kept thinking after hearing the news.

The many policies issued by Shangguan Hongyu were applauded by ordinary people, but they also offended many dignitaries with reputation and ability.

Bian Lang smiled and said: "Don't worry, we will soon know who is behind the scenes."

Bian Lang then went out of the palace and found those circus troupes. He wanted to see how the circus performances poured nightmares into the minds of the audience.

No matter when or where the circus starts, it will attract a large number of people to watch.

The performances performed by the circus can only be described as ordinary.

But the common people who watched the play cheered from time to time, and the applause was even more thunderous.

Bian Lang looked at it for a long time, then changed another place, and continued to look at it for a long time, but found nothing unusual.

After falling asleep at night, everything was normal and there were no nightmares.

The next day Bian Lang continued to watch the circus performance, and the result was the same as the day before, everything was normal.

But in the imperial capital, more and more people would have that nightmare.

The empress turned into a vine demon, slaughtered and washed the imperial capital with blood. The dream was too real, but anyone who has experienced it will feel that this day will come soon.

……

Shen Rusui followed Bian Lang's suggestion and continued to watch the circus performance.

The purpose of doing this is to see if the dream will change if you continue to read.

In the first few days, the dreams were the same as before, without any change.

But at the end, at the end of the nightmare, a monk in cassock suddenly appeared.

The monk was extremely capable, holding a bowl in his hand, and with just a few strokes, he subdued the empress who had turned into a vine demon.

When the monk appeared for the first time, he could only see a vague shadow, which became clearer every night, until his face was fully seen, and the dream did not change any more.

Shen Rusui told Bian Lang about this discovery, Bian Lang just smiled and said: "It seems that the bald donkey is behind the scenes."

"I think so too." Shen Rusui agreed.

Bian Lang asked, "Ru Sui, are your body and spirit okay?"

"Nothing unusual." Shen Rusui said with a smile.

Bian Lang instructed: "You still have to be careful, if you feel something is wrong or uncomfortable, please tell me right away."

Shen Rusui nodded with a smile.

"My father didn't seem to find anything." Shen Rusui then said.

Bian Lang said with a smile: "It's okay, the timing is almost here."

Shen Rusui didn't ask, but guessed that Bian Lang might be going to attack the circus himself.

It was beyond her expectation that Bian Lang could bear it for such a long time.

After leaving Shen's mansion, Bian Lang went to watch the circus performance again.

When the circus ended, he followed, not sneakily, but openly.

The people in the circus seemed indifferent, and when they returned to the small courtyard they rented, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Bian Lang broke in, opened the door and saw that the person lying on the bed turned out to be a paper figurine.

To be able to control so many paper figurines at the same time, and to perform circus shows in various parts of the imperial capital at the same time, is indeed a master.

Bian Lang destroyed all the paper figurines, and sent a message to Shen Sanmu, saying that he could arrest people.

As you can imagine, all the people arrested by the Ministry of War were paper figurines.

It was clearly a living person when it was caught, but in a blink of an eye, the living person turned into a paper doll, which is extremely weird.

The circuses performing in various parts of the imperial capital are all under the surveillance of the Ministry of War. When the order to arrest people is issued, they act almost at the same time, so it is impossible to startle the snake.

But everyone turned into paper figurines, which only shows that the methods behind the scenes are very clever.

That guy is hiding in a safe place, and he only needs to manipulate those paper figurines to plant nightmares into the minds of the people in the imperial capital.

Shen Sanmu and Nian Tianfu are well-informed, and they have never heard of anyone in the world who can do this.

Although Bian Lang felt a little headache, this matter became so interesting that he was also excited.

In the following days, some believers appeared in the imperial capital.

What they believe in is the monk who appeared at the end of the nightmare.

The monk was kind-hearted, like the reincarnation of the Buddha, and he could easily win the heart of Baixin, who was plagued by nightmares.

Some people even discussed whether they should pay for the construction of a temple dedicated to that eminent monk.

Although I don't know the name of the eminent monk, but too many people have recorded his appearance, so it is not difficult to ask someone to make a Buddha statue.

But they also secretly talked about this in private, but they didn't dare to really do it.

Once this kind of thing is known by the empress, it must be a felony of beheading.

This matter has fermented to the present level, and the empress did not stand up to refute the rumors, which made the people of the imperial capital panic.

"Honey, is it really okay to just let it go like this?" If Shangguan Hongyu was allowed to make up his mind, he would have already attacked those leaders of the people who deceived the public with their lies.

But Bian Lang told her to be calm and not to be impatient. At this time, she must calm down and never do unnecessary things.

Seeing that Shangguan Hongyu pouted, it was obvious that her heart was blocked and she couldn't straighten it out, Bian Lang said with a smile: "My wife, since the common people want to build a temple statue for that monk, why don't you make an order to do it, trust the common people Will appreciate it."

"I..." Shangguan Hongyu's eyes widened, she felt that Bian Lang's bad idea was too outrageous.

Bian Lang smiled and said, "Listen to me, you're right."

"Forget it, it really doesn't work, I can just leave." Shangguan Hongyu now just wants to live a good life with Bian Lang, and doesn't want to be this empress at all.

The next day when he went to the morning court, Shangguan Hongyu issued an order to build a golden body and build a temple for the monk in the hearts of the people, so that he could make offerings.

When the civil and military officials heard this decree, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to believe it.

Shen Sanmu felt that Shangguan Hongyu's move was very clever.

In the nightmares of those people, the monk was the living Buddha who killed monsters and saved the world, but the empress was able to let go of her prejudices and sculpt the monk's body to build a temple, which showed the empress's integrity.

Seeing that none of the officials spoke, Shangguan Hongyu got up and waved his hands, saying: "This is the imperial decree." After saying that, she strode away.

In the Golden Luan Hall, all the officials immediately exploded.

The news that the empress wanted to sculpt the eminent monk's body and build a temple quickly spread throughout the imperial capital.

The common people couldn't understand, in the nightmare, but the monk killed the empress who turned into a monster, why did the empress do this?

After a long time, the common people began to discuss whether the empress is still generous and domineering.

Even if they revisit it every night, dreams are dreams after all, not necessarily real. Thinking about what the empress has done these years, they really shouldn't doubt the empress just because of a nightmare.

It's strange to say that after learning what the empress did, many people who were haunted by that nightmare stopped dreaming instead.

The same was true for Shen Rusui, it was really strange that she didn't have a nightmare for two nights.

……

In a gloomy room, someone was sitting cross-legged on a futon, making paper.

On the table in front of him, a lamp was burning like a bean.

But in an instant, the light suddenly went out.

"As expected of the ten-thousand-year vine demon." The man stopped the action of piercing the paper, and a very strange shrill laugh emerged from his throat.

It's ironic that it took so long to lay out the layout, but it can't compare with a temple built by the empress.

"But it doesn't matter, this game has just begun. Sooner or later, I will let you kneel down in front of me and beg for mercy." The man tilted his head and laughed.

He clapped his hands suddenly, and the paper figurines that had been tied up in the room all raised their feet and walked outside.

……

Royal Palace.

Shangguan Hongyu was in a very good mood.

An idea of ​​Bian Lang actually resolved a crisis that seemed to be out of control.

"Honey, it's lucky to have you here this time." Shangguan Hongyu peeled a grape, and fed it into Bianlang's mouth with his mouth.

Although Bian Lang was smiling, he always felt very uneasy, and said: "We can't take it lightly now, I suspect that the game prepared for us by the people behind the scenes has just begun."

"If this person is not captured, the crisis will always exist." Shangguan Hongyu agreed.

But how to do it, Bian Lang has to make up his mind.

The Ministry of Industry works very efficiently, and the temple built for the monk is almost completed.

Originally in the city, there were several dilapidated temples.

A long time ago, those temples were full of incense, but gradually there were no pilgrims in those temples, and finally they were abandoned.

Even a monk has to survive.

When three meals a day are a problem, no one wants to stay in the ruined temple.

Even if it is just to renovate dilapidated temples, it is very troublesome. Shangguan Hongyu is very satisfied with the performance of the Ministry of Industry this time.

On the day the temple was opened to the public, Bian Lang sat on the stone steps at the entrance of the temple.

To his surprise, although a notice was posted a few days ago, saying that as long as you come to this temple to pray, no matter what wish you make, it will eventually come true.

But on the day when the temple was opened, no one came to offer incense.

Maybe the common people think that if they come to offer incense today, they will be arrested and questioned by the court.

Previously, there were rumors that the purpose of the empress building this temple was to wipe out all those who believed in the monk in her dream.

If the monk in the dream really had followers, they would only burn incense after nightfall, or even wait a few more days until the imperial court stopped paying attention to the temple before they dared to come.

After Bian Lang leaves the temple, there will still be someone in charge of guarding him.

But it's just watching, and it will never embarrass the people who come to offer incense.

As a result, no one came to the temple to burn incense for several days.

Just when Bian Lang thought that the temple could be demolished, a large number of pilgrims suddenly poured into the temple.

The temple, which was originally very calm, suddenly became very lively.

The pilgrims knelt in the hall, prayed silently, kowtowed constantly, all of them were very devout.

When Bian Lang heard the news, he came and looked at the figures of those busy pilgrims, and felt that this matter became more and more interesting.

Just because those pilgrims are not flesh and blood people, but just like the members of the circus, they are all paper dolls.

The person behind the scenes can revive the paper man made of paper and do a lot of things for it. To be honest, Bian Lang is very envious of this ability.

"Husband, the strange people I recruited have arrived, and they may be able to help." Seeing Bian Lang's frowning face all day long, Shangguan Hongyu felt distressed.

Bian Lang asked suspiciously: "A stranger?"

"In my empire, there are quite a few strange people. They all have extraordinary abilities. You will know it when you see them." Shangguan Hongyu looked very excited.

She recruited these people to come to the imperial capital just to get a clue.

It's just that this time it's not the vines, but the paper figurines.

It takes a lot of effort to make paper to survive, and no matter how careful the people behind the scenes are, they will leave their own breath on the paper figurine.

As long as you follow this breath, you will find the paper maker soon.

Shangguan Hongyu brought Bian Lang to a side hall, and those strange people were in the hall.

Their looks are very distinctive, it can be said that there are all kinds of strange things.

"See Your Majesty." Seeing Shangguan Hongyu coming in, they stood up to greet each other.

Shangguan Hongyu smiled and waved his hands, saying: "There is no need to be polite, his name is Bian Lang, from now on, you all listen to Bian Lang's orders."
