After becoming the villain

Chapter 124 "Daxiangguo Temple" and "Governor Cao Xi"

It was almost noon.

The old emperor Zhao Purui originally wanted to keep Yan Wulu, at least until he finished his lunch in the palace before leaving.

However, an emergency suddenly occurred in the previous dynasty. It is said that the "Daxiangguo Temple", which was the national temple of the Daqian Dynasty, was disrupted and its signboard was destroyed.

The old emperor was so disturbed that he didn't even have time to eat, so he no longer wanted to retain Yan Wulu.

Yan Wulu got the opportunity and left the palace accompanied by the prince personally.

The emperor's most relied-upon chamberlain personally led the way into the palace and escorted him outside the palace.

Such a kindness, in the history of Daqian, probably only Yan Wulu has enjoyed it.

……

Not long after leaving the gate of the inner palace.

At the corner of the corridor.

Yan Wulu saw the figure of a tall young man facing him.

Judging from his clothes and appearance, he must be the famous "General King", the Fourteenth Prince and King of Jin Zhao Lingcheng.

Zhao Lingcheng stood here quietly at this moment.

Beside him, there seemed to be a large carriage filled with unknown treasures.

Yan Wulu passed by him.

The latter stretched out his hand slightly and stopped Yan Wulu and the princes and others around him.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, what are you doing?" Yan Wulu asked.

"Hello to you."

The Fourteenth Prince Zhao Lingcheng said coldly.

Feeling cold, but also somewhat inexplicably cute.

Yan Wulu was confused for a moment. This gesture of goodwill... was too simple and crude, right?
"Gold, weapons, even women."

The Fourteenth Prince Zhao Lingcheng said, seemingly not caring about any of this, "...if you want it, Crown Prince, I, Zhao Lingcheng, can find it for you."

"Uh……"

Yan Wulu felt a little strange.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind——

This Zhao Lingcheng...could it be that like Yao Zhihong, he also fell in love with the woman next to him?Zhang Chunhua?Want to swap?
Or...like Long Tao, did he fall in love with himself? ! ! !

……

The fourteenth prince Zhao Lingcheng was so frank in trying to please Yan Wulu that he was shocked.

But fortunately, there was Wang Gonggong with high emotional intelligence and tact in dealing with things, and he quickly helped Yan Wulu and Mudong get over it.

Although it still took a lot of time...

Yan Wulu left the palace.

I just took a long breath and sighed that I, the prince of Zhenbei, was really a piece of cake in Jinling City.

The three most powerful princes are trying to please themselves...

The emperor and the prime minister, the two men who stood at the top of the Daqian pyramid, also took great care of him.

It's just a pity that he just wants to settle the marriage, leave Jinling, and return to the North within eight months.

And this, the old emperor would never agree to easily.

Just because the old emperor was kind and kind to him didn't mean that he didn't come as a proton.

Regal is unpredictable.

In the blink of an eye, everything can be turned upside down.

……

Seeing Yan Wulu leaving the palace and arriving outside the palace gate, Zhang Chunhua immediately rushed to his side.

"Sir."

As she approached, Zhang Chunhua seemed to have a different kind of fragrance, like frangipani, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

However, Zhang Chunhua looked a little anxious at this moment, "...Your Majesty, something happened to Amaro."

"what?"

Yan Wulu was a little shocked when he heard this, "...Amaro? What can happen to him?"

Zhang Chunhua clarified the thoughts in his mind and briefly stated -

"After Amoluo separated from his son today, he actually wandered to the Daxiangguo Temple in Jinling City to debate Buddhism with a group of eminent monks inside. Suddenly, many Daqian eminent monks faced off against Amoluo alone. It can remain stable.”

"...Afterwards, Amaro claimed that 'since there is no distinction between Buddhism and Buddhism, let's ask for advice on martial arts'."

"...None of the Buddhist masters in the entire Daxiangguo Temple could survive ten rounds under Amaro."

"...Daxiangguo Temple is Daqian's national temple, and the imperial court cannot sit back and watch its face be disgraced."

"...and Amaro even spoke arrogantly, intentionally or unintentionally ridiculing the Grand Prime Minister's Temple and even the entire Da Gan No Man."

"...His Majesty was furious and sent Cao Xi, the governor of Dongchang, to ask for advice from this holy Buddha of the West."

When Yan Wulu heard the words, his mind turned quickly.

Cao Xi, the governor of Dongchang, is the number one master in the Jinling Palace and No. 3 on the "Ranking of Masters in the Jianghu" on the Yin Yuan Secret Book.

Although he is in the imperial court, he has been handling Jianghu affairs for Daqian for a long time, so he is listed in the "Ranking of Jianghu Masters".

As for Amaro, needless to say, as a foreigner from the West, he was born to be rejected, but he was still able to rank fourth on Daqian's list.

To be honest, if it had been in the past, Yan Wulu would definitely have watched the duel between these two peerless masters.

It is even possible to "fan the flames" and applaud from the sidelines. "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

but now……

After all, Amaro brought Jinling City by himself. If he really caused any big trouble in Jinling, it would definitely be harmful and unhelpful to his plan of "leaving Jinling within eight months".

And if Amaro is injured or killed by Cao Xi, he will be the one who loses the protective barrier.

"They must be stopped." Yan Wulu said calmly.

Some of the Zhenbei Cavalry Guards had already brought the Black Cloud Horse to Yan Wulu.

Yan Wulu and Zhang Chunhua got on their horses and galloped towards Daxiangguo Temple.

……

Jinling.

Daxiangguo Temple.

The majestic attic and the wide corridor stand opposite each other.

The main hall is an octagonal glazed hall with double eaves and stacked brackets, covered with yellow and green glazed tiles.

There is a huge Dharma Square in the center of Daxiangguo Temple, which is paved with marble tiles and separated from the surrounding corridors by white stone railings.It is specially established for teaching Buddhism.

This was originally a Buddhist holy land in the Central Plains. At this moment, a group of eminent monks were gathering here.

But the protagonists who were being watched by everyone were not these eminent monks, nor even other monks from Daxiangguo Temple.

In that central square.

Extraordinarily vast.

The crowd of monks consciously gave way to a large area of ​​the venue.

The bright red cassock and the darker black robes of the governor of the Eastern Factory stood opposite each other.

……

"Why did the legendary 'Xiyi Holy Buddha' suddenly appear in my Dagan Jinling?"

Cao Xi's voice was low and not feminine. He was dressed in the gorgeous uniform of the governor of the East Factory, and he looked tall and powerful.

He has a handsome face. He is obviously in his late thirties, but he still looks handsome and handsome in his early 30s.

In the right hand that Cao Xi raised slightly at this moment, there was a mass of soundless and colorless fluctuations of Gang Qi, which seemed to distort the surrounding space.

Cao Xi is the number one master in Jinling City.

He was also the number one master in the Daqian court.

He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his innate boy skills and domineering aura for nearly sixty years are enough to dominate the world of martial arts.

"Amitabha."

The young Xiyi monk held the Buddha's name in his hand, his eyes were ruthless and colorless, "... I am a poor monk who came here because of my friends. I saw the Daxiangguo Temple today, so I took the opportunity to learn about Buddhism in the Central Plains... 'Broad and profound'."

"...However, judging from the current results, the Buddhism in the Central Plains is nothing more than that."

Amaro said calmly.

It was obviously the most humble and flat tone, but there was an absolute sense of contempt in the words.

"Oh?"

Cao Xi's eyes moved slightly, and his body seemed a little eager to try, "...Although Cao Xi is not a Buddhist, he is also a citizen of the Central Plains."

"...Since the Holy Buddha is here, how about letting Cao Xi learn the martial arts of Xiyi Buddhism?"

As Cao Xi spoke, his figure flickered.

The two of them were hundreds of meters apart in the central square of the Daxiangguo Temple, but Cao Xi appeared in front of Amaro almost instantly.

There was not even an afterimage left in the distance of several hundred meters.

The innate Qi gathered in his palm, and Cao Xi struck out quickly with one palm.

Amoluo didn't slack off at all. The person in front of him was not an ordinary "little fish and shrimp". He had to take it seriously!
The red cassock on his body was thrown away by Amaro, and the exquisite red cassock was flying in the sky...

Under the cassock, the naked Amaro was facing Cao Xi.

A perfect male body, well-defined muscle structure, masculine skin that tends to be wheat-colored, and seems to have a faint golden light.

At this moment, Amaro seems like a Buddhist vajra arhat descending to earth.

"It is a great honor for me, the poor monk, to be taught by Governor Cao."

"Holy Buddha is humble, this 'Fire Divine Palm' is really powerful."

The two of them were still talking about the scene while comparing their internal strength with their palms.

Cao Xi's innate Qi is extremely domineering, and he has both defensive and offensive capabilities.

Amoluo's "Flame Divine Palm", although the flames in its palm could not break through Cao Xi's innate Qi, it temporarily made it impossible for the opponent to escape and attack.

The red cassock fluttered down.

Between the two of them, the force of their palms increased, a crackling sound was heard, and two majestic internal forces of different forms suddenly struck all around.

The master monks from Daxiangguo Temple who were injured by Amaro before were flying away from their location without caring about meditating and practicing exercises to heal their injuries.

Real shock waves spread out from the palms of Cao Xi and Amaro.

The surrounding marble tiles turned into powder in an instant.

The entire central square of Daxiangguo Temple was shattered and cracked at this moment.

Taking advantage of the aftermath of the opponent's palm repulse.

Cao Xi and Amaro each took a few steps back slightly, then immediately flew forward again.

At this moment, Amaro's eyes were no longer as indifferent as before, but instead, there was a kind of fanaticism... It was a kind of fanaticism for martial arts.

It was the same situation as before when I talked to Yan Wulu and almost became sworn friends.

The internal energy all over his body turned into raging flames, and Amaro's "Fire Divine Palm" had already reached a level of proficiency...

Correspondingly, the dark black governor's brocade clothes on Cao Xi's body moved slightly.

His governor's black gauze crown and the brocade ribbon on it floated slightly under the wind of the palm of the opponent's fierce flames...

Cao Xi's eyes were extremely calm, like those of an eagle, staring at the prey and catching any possible mistakes.

……

After several rounds of confrontation, the two were equally matched in strength and neither fell behind.

"Governor Cao's innate strength is truly domineering and extraordinary!"

Amaro took a step back and held the Buddha's name in his hand.

After several previous trial encounters, he could see that the martial arts strength of the person in front of him was extraordinary, and the rankings on the Yin Yuan Secret Book did have a certain degree of real authority.

But...that's all.

It is impossible for the person in front of you to defeat yourself!

Amaro never thinks that he will fail.

"The Holy Buddha's martial arts attainments have reached the pinnacle..." Cao Xi said in agreement.

He accidentally looked at his governor's uniform and was a little stunned for a moment.

Wei Wei reached out and patted the burn marks on his governor's uniform from the fight just now.

As a governor with severe mysophobia, what Cao Xi hates most is someone soiling his governor's uniform. This is... even that person praised his heroic uniform, and he will never allow others to soil it (1) .

Cao Xi's eyes suddenly became extremely cold.

He slowly took out his pair of [red eagle claws] from the ring, which were a pair of translucent and red black iron claws, a treasure-level offensive weapon.

In the "Ranking of World Weapons" in Tingyunge Yinyuan Secret Book, it ranked No. 20 and fourth place, and was evaluated as an absolutely powerful killing weapon.

For Cao Xi, he has not used these iron claws for a long time, but today...

Since the man in front of him is seeking death, he doesn't mind killing another Xiyi monk here!
[Red Eagle Claw] suddenly appeared and was automatically placed on Cao Xi's slender hands in an instant without any movement.

This is one of the differences between magical weapons and ordinary weapons.

In the distance, Amaro was also quietly waiting for the other party's preparations to be completed.

He has no fear of the other party, let alone life and death.He never thought he would fail!
In an instant, Amaro suddenly felt a long-lost excitement...

It was a bloodthirsty and warlike excitement!
It's a kind of excitement that comes from feeling threatened!

Ever since the armistice between Tubo and Pingxi King Wu Zesan, far away from the battlefield of life and death, this excitement has been buried for a long time...

But today, Amaro once again felt the bloodthirsty and murderous aura permeating the air.

His mind began to become extremely clear!
Amaro took a long breath of fresh air from Daxiangguo Temple...

Among them, in addition to the energy of heaven and earth that can only be felt by a large number of warriors, there is also a strong, rich... murderous intention!
Amaro felt it - it turned out that the other party wanted to kill him!

1. More than thirty years ago, after the new emperor Zhao Purui ascended the throne, Cao Xi was quickly promoted to become the new governor of Dongchang.

The governor's uniform of Dongchang has always been purple. When Cao Xi became the new governor, wearing the governor's uniform, the first person he wanted to see was Liu Mengyun, who was living in Jinling.

Cao Xi, wearing a slim and gorgeous purple governor's uniform, came to the inn and met Liu Mengyun.

Liu Mengyun praised Cao Xi for his handsome appearance in the governor's uniform. He was really the most handsome governor in ancient and modern times.

"...It's just a pity. I think you are more suitable to wear a dark black uniform. I prefer that kind of uniform, which looks tough and capable. The purple color is... a bit too coquettish for you."

Liu Mengyun commented mindlessly.

The young Cao Xi was taken aback when he heard the words, he looked at himself in the bronze mirror slightly...

From that day on, the senior uniform of the Governor of the East Factory has always been dark.
