Earth Immortal Righteous Path

Chapter 78 The End of the Penglai Jade Branch

It was rare for guests to be welcomed again in the bamboo forest, and the carriage drove slowly under the protection of the knights.

A young nobleman came out of the car with a box full of things, and came to visit the beautiful woman who lived here.

Taketori Ong respectfully welcomed him into the small courtyard, where Kaguya was waiting.

Kaguya, who had just washed her hair, didn't dress up much, but simply let her hair loose behind her back. Even Kaguya without makeup had a special charm, and the visitors were fascinated by it.

"Your Highness, have you found the Penglai Jade Branch this time?"

It's been a few months, but Kaguya Ji is also very interested, and the original interest is almost gone at this time, and she just wants to get rid of the matter as soon as possible.

So, she seemed a little impatient.

"It is impossible for the Penglai jade branch to appear in the human world. This person must have forged it from somewhere, and I don't know if the Onmyoji has found out about it."

Just thinking in his heart, there was only a faint smile on his face, just talking about perfunctory, Kaguya's smile made Prince Chechi dizzy for a while.

It's just that Prince Chachi, who was overwhelmed by Kaguya's beauty, had already almost lost his mind. Hearing Kaguya's words was like listening to fairy music, so he couldn't react.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

The prince who woke up like a dream, opened the exquisite little gift box he carried with him and put it on the case.The inside and outside of the box are paved with silk, silky, soft, precious and exquisite.

Lying in the box is a small branch, which seems to be a small section cut from the top of the tree. The silver root is golden and the white jade fruit is dry. The leaves are emerald. This small branch is only three or four inches long. White jade, the leaves are green, and the small fruit hangs down, and it is also carved from white jade.

Prince Che Chi saw Hui Ye holding this jade branch in his palm and playing with it, watching it repeatedly, but he didn't say a word.

"How? This is the branch that I searched for one by one by following the sea charts and legends of the predecessors, and finally found the fairy island with great difficulty."

Kaguya Ji just hummed, lowered her head and fiddled with him, but didn't pay much attention to him.

The prince Che Chi still didn't understand what she meant, so this was some sort of reply.

Immediately afterwards, there was a commotion outside.

Immediately afterwards, Taketori Ong came in, with an uneasy expression on his face.

"Your Highness, we are looking for you outside."

Prince Chechi didn't know why, so he just apologized politely and went out to meet the visitor.

From the beginning to the end, Kaguya never looked up at him again.

Outside, there are more than a dozen craftsmen, led by three officials with official status, holding sticks tied with petition notes, beating gongs and drums all the way, and coming along the main road, there are also a lot of onlookers By.

As soon as Prince Chechi saw them, his face immediately became gloomy, it was so dark that it was about to rain.

"Thanks to His Royal Highness, I waited for a hundred days to build jade branches. I invested no less than 30 yuan before and after, and paid [-] yuan for manual entertainment. Please pay the reward in time."

A leading craftsman stepped forward and said loudly, and it was through this opportunity, under the witness of his sweetheart and many noble children who were watching, that the prince could pay back the debt he owed.Furthermore, this is just an ordinary prince. After today, his reputation of hypocrisy will be widely spread. I don't know what will happen to him!

Thinking of the faint hint of the big man when they came, so they were unafraid, these craftsmen were agitated and shouted loudly again.

"Your Highness, please pay the bill exactly!"

The prince Che Chi couldn't say a word, and pushed away the crowd with a livid face.

"Who instructed you?"

Although he was asking, his tone was affirmative, and he immediately thought of several possible candidates, including his brothers and sisters.

"This is not going to end well!"

"It must be avoided for a period of time, and we will talk about it after the storm has passed."

As a prince, there are naturally some cities under his influence. He grew up in the palace, so he can't see the current situation clearly at this time.This matter has put him in a disadvantageous situation, so he cannot be careless.

With just a glance, his coachman and guards understood, took out the money bag, and gave it to them directly. After that, a group of people hurried away in the carriage.

"A few untouchables, let's see if you can save this money with your life!"

Prince Che Chi is not a fool either, he has a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"My Highness can't do it easily, but naturally there are people who will do it! If you want money, you have to have the life to spend it!"

This trick is to borrow a knife to kill people. If you want to get such a sum of money, if it is obtained by a few low-ranking craftsmen, what is the difference from a child holding gold to go through the downtown area?
As soon as the money bag appeared, it was noticed by many people, and a few sneaky people sneaked away at that time.Among the onlookers, there were also many wandering warriors. Such a sum of money was considered a huge sum at this time, and it was worth many people's risk.

As for Hui Ye, assuming that this embarrassing incident didn't happen, Prince Che Chi missed a move this time and lost face, so naturally he wouldn't stay here brazenly.

Kaguya Ji ignored it, acting as if the prince had never been here.

Taketori Ong closed the door tightly, and all the hustle and bustle was shut out.

Those few craftsmen were overjoyed, and the Prince Chariot directly left his purse, which contained hundreds of gold at least, far exceeding the remuneration they agreed in advance.

These craftsmen were thinking about the big man's promise, even though they were just a small housekeeper, they were still extraordinary people, and it was naturally impossible for the big man to personally order such trivial matters.

However, these few people hadn't walked a few miles with the money when they were overtaken by people who were jealous of the money. Many people saw the full purse just now.

The masked men who had ambushed a long time ago knocked them all to the ground, took all the money and walked away.

I thought I could make a fortune, but in the end it was nothing to fetch water from a bamboo basket. If it weren't for the few people who still have an official status, they might even lose their lives.

A dozen craftsmen with mournful faces had no choice but to go to the door and beg to see Prince Shizuo.

The housekeeper sent them off like beggars, gave them some money, and threw them all out.

"These people broke their promises, and now they are also abandoned. It's a retribution for the world."

"Your Excellency also believes in the theory of fruit retribution in Buddhism?"

Kaguya Hime and Seimei watched what happened in the distance through the water mirror, and the sound and image seemed to be in front of them.

"The theory of karma is not accurate. It didn't exist at first, but because of people's desire for karma, a miracle that can be called karma gradually appeared."

"But most of the time, this kind of karma does not exist. It can only restrain those who believe in it. Those who believe in it will get retribution, and those who don't believe will have no retribution."

"Because many people don't believe in the strict and strict system of karma in Buddhism, Buddhism is not able to cover the sky with one hand. When the whole world believes in karma, the world will almost be controlled by Buddhism. It is a great merit for the individual. , is enough to give birth to several Buddhas who truly transcended the world; for a country, such strict karma is a huge sore, which greatly hinders the development of the world, and it is a terrible thing."

"However, this has little to do with us. Buddhism will naturally have other sects as opponents, and it will not let it dominate."

"I'm almost done now, what about the reward?"

Qingming handed over the fiery red fire mouse fur to Hui Ye, which he had dropped off from Fujiwara's house, and he had already taken the real one.

"Fire Rat Qiuwa... Penglai jade branches are fake, the stone bowl in front of the Buddha is fake, the one who went to fetch the swallow Anbei is seriously ill at home, and the one who was looking for the dragon jade is said to have been shipwrecked, and now there are only these He is now the head of the Fujiwara family, and he will be clean for a while after solving the problem."

Kaguya Hime tiptoed lightly, hugged Seimei's neck, closed her eyes, and kissed deeply.

Then, he took a step back, covered half of his face with a round fan, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile.

"In this way, the concubine has fulfilled her promise!"
