496 Additional stakes

Today, the Imperial court of the state of Bailang was a little strange.

“One, two, three, four,”

The courtiers in the middle began to count the number of Daoist priests in the hall. When they counted four, they couldn’t help but gasp.

The density of Daoist priests in the hall today was a little too high.

The courtiers in the front row were extremely nervous. They stared ahead with wide eyes because they were all highly regarded high-ranking officials in the court and had to answer the monarch’s questions at any time.

Especially for this kind of new monarch who had just taken office, once his brain suddenly got stuck, he liked to use questions to ease his embarrassment.

The courtiers in the back row were in a much more relaxed state. Some people said that they were disappointing and that their political achievements were not as good as the courtiers in the front row, but they also had a lot of freedom. In the back, they could sneak away, chat, date, sleep, and even sneak out to the toilet during the morning without being discovered.

Next to the monarch, close to the steps, was the legendary seat of the immortals. At a glance, one could see that the status was higher than the others in the palace, and it was a place that everyone was envious of.

There were three monks standing there.

The first one was tall and had a round head. His eyes were bright like lamps, making people feel awe. It was the disciple of the Aurora Bodhisattva, the state preceptor of the Bailang Kingdom, Bao an.

The second one was tall and wore a white and gold Kasaya. She had thin eyebrows and Phoenix eyes. She looked like a woman and under the light of Buddha, she looked like a real Bodhi. It was the second state preceptor of the Bailang state, Bao Jie.

The third was a strange figure with a head as big as a bucket, an ox-like appearance, and a pair of large vertical pupils. Golden flames flickered in his eyes, giving him a dignified and deep aura. They were the three state preceptors of the Baole Kingdom, the baochu Dragon, who had been born a true dragon.

Directly in front of him was a tall and sturdy old man wearing a White Dragon robe. He had white eyebrows and a white beard, giving off an aura of power. This person was the new king of the White jade country, Shi long, who had successfully ascended the throne after a period of turmoil.

Because the White gem Kingdom was originally born from the Alpine White wolves, all the high officials and nobles were actually from the White Wolf clan’s Shi family, so the rock Dragon ruling the kingdom did not have much of an impact on the original forces. Now, most of the courtiers of His Highness had retained most of their original troops. There was no major change in the blood of the new king.

Other than the orthodoxy.

The three newly-appointed state teachers of the orthodoxy were currently looking down from high above in a daze at the previous state Teacher, Daoist priest Yong Lin.

That’s right, Daoist priest Yong Lin also appeared in the main hall today.

He had come with the Jin que Kingdom’s diplomatic mission. The diplomatic mission was dressed in the same Daoist robe, which was quite eye-catching.

Other than Yong Lin Daoist priest, there was also an elderly Daoist priest, a middle-aged single black Daoist priest, and a handsome young Daoist priest, Lao Ai.

Daoist priest Yonglin naturally had his own reasons for accompanying the diplomatic mission. When he suggested to Shi long to fight again, the new king rejected this suggestion almost without hesitation.

“Yonglin, are you dreaming?” Shi long sneered.

Back then, priest Yonglin had a good relationship with the general and supported general Shi Nan. Thanks to the help of the three Imperial preceptors, he won the battle of magical powers and sat firmly on the throne.

Now that Yong Lin had suddenly jumped out and wanted to fight again, he naturally wouldn’t agree.

“Your Majesty, you’re ridiculing me.” Yong Lin Daoist priest seemed to have expected his reaction and said indifferently, ” “In the previous battle, I’m willing to accept my loss. Of course, I won’t question your throne anymore. But this time, I want to compete with the three Imperial preceptors for the position of National teacher again.”

“Oh?” Shi long looked at the three Imperial advisors, ” then you’ll have to get their approval.

After a while, the Grand advisor slowly said, ” “Daoist priest Tong Jiong, since you want to fight for it, you should have prepared something worthy for us to fight for. If you’ve come empty-handed, then please leave as soon as possible.”

“Since I’m here, I’ll naturally be prepared.” Daoist priest Yonglin nodded,”although you’ve all taken the position of State Teacher, you still lack the most important thing to become the orthodoxy, and that is the heart of the people.” Daoism has been in the White jade state for many years and has a wide range of believers. Even if you use the name of the state religion, it will be difficult to shake the most fundamental belief. If I win this time, Qianqian, I’ll let Daoism return to its former position. If you win, then I can admit defeat completely and let my disciples follow you to teach the technique. If I change my path, it will save you at least ten years of teaching.”

Hearing him say this, the three Imperial advisors looked at each other. The second Imperial advisor looked at Yong Lin Taoist priest and nodded, ” “Sure.”

His words clearly represented the three of them.

Yong Lin Daoist priest faintly smiled.

“Then it’s decided, Yingluo.” Shi long was about to make the decision.

Just then, Yu Qi ‘an stood up from behind.

“Wait, I still want to add some stakes.” “If we win, you’ll have to give us the star beads you have,” Yu Qi ‘an said.

“Who are you?” “When did you get the right to speak?” the Grand advisor frowned.

“This time, the one who is going to fight with you is my disciple. I naturally have the right to speak.” As soon as Yu Qi ‘an raised his head, he exuded the aura of an expert, making people not dare to look down on him.

The second state preceptor continued. your identity doesn’t matter. If you want to add star beads as a prize for nothing, there must be a corresponding bet, right? otherwise, why should we bet with you? ”

this Lao Ai … Yu Qi ‘an pondered for a moment. He glanced at Yong Lin Daoist priest and patted his shoulder. I’ll bet the life of the previous state preceptor on this! I’ve heard that you’ve been secretly pursuing him and his disciples these days, so I’m sure you see them as a thorn in your side. If we lose this time, we’ll let Yong Lin Daoist priest commit suicide as an apology!”

“Alright!” The two Imperial advisors agreed without hesitation.

“Not bad, straightforward.” Yu Qi ‘an also smiled, indicating that the two sides had reached a Happy Deal.

The two of them nodded to each other, acknowledging the heroic spirit of the other party.

Only Yong Lin Daoist priest frowned. He felt that things weren’t as simple as they seemed.

He was about to say something.

Wang longqi also jumped out, ” wait, I want to raise too.

“And who are you?” The Grand advisor looked at the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, feeling very strange.

“The person who wants to fight with you is my good brother.” I’d like to add one more condition, ” Wang longqi said, sticking his chest out. if we win, you have to allow me to take away Princess Ji Yuhuan of Heluo who’s here for a political marriage.

“What big words. What kind of bet do you have that you dare to place such a bet?” The Grand advisor asked.

Wang longqi pondered for a moment, then patted priest Yong Lin’s right shoulder, ” I’ll bet the lives of priest Yong Lin’s entire family on this. If we win, you’ll let me take Princess Heluo away. If you win, I’ll have you exterminate him completely, not even giving him the chance to take revenge!”

“Alright,” he said. The two Imperial advisors nodded in agreement.

“It’s indeed refreshing, haha.” Wang longqi had also completed a happy transaction.

He also displayed the heroic spirit of the pugilistic world.

Only Yong Lin Daoist priest, who was sandwiched between the two of them, revealed a strange expression and said in a low voice, ” “You two?”

what the hell? you want to raise the bid? ” Wang longqi asked.

“……”

Do I have anything else to add? Should he put the ancestor’s ashes on it? If he lost, he would have to eat rice?

Daoist priest Yonglin was speechless,”I just wanted to ask if this is appropriate, Zhenzhen.”

what? ” Wang longqi asked in surprise, ” we’ve all taken such a big risk to help you win the position of the religion. You won’t disagree with such a small matter, right? ”

“Seven, you can’t say that.” “Don’t worry, Daoist priest Yong Lin,” Yu Qi ‘an advised,”we’re definitely determined to win.” After all, if Yingluo loses, you’ll only lose your family’s life, but we’ll lose the face of our deyun temple!”

“Hehe, Yingluo.”

Yong Lin Taoist master let out two sounds of laughter and tears. For a moment, he couldn’t tell if the person in front of him was a friend or a foe.

“To be able to invite the two of you to assist me, I’m really grateful that I’ve accumulated so much good karma.”
