Chapter 248 Demonized Le Wu (1)
The city gates were raised and elite cavalry entered the city.
The mounts, whose ancestral bloodlines had returned to their ancestors, were extremely fast. On the cleared road of Haojing City, eighty thousand elite cavalrymen passed by like lightning and phantoms. It didn't take much time for them to go directly from the east gate of Haojing City to Jiuqu Garden.
Forty thousand blood-hoofed black horses, forty thousand gray wolves.
Eighty thousand elite cavalrymen have begun to practice the skills of the Great Vajra Temple.
These elite cavalrymen were all practicing in the Five Elements Feng Shui formation set up by Lu Yi, and were nourished by the spiritual charm of the Five Elements and the inspiration of heaven and earth. From time to time, they would receive a solid red lotus pill sent by the Red Lotus Temple to nourish their bodies. Their practice speed was advancing by leaps and bounds.
The 80,000 elite cavalrymen are now all in the middle and late stages of the Furnace Realm, with their eight extraordinary meridians unobstructed, and even nearly half of them have opened up varying numbers of acupoints.
Because of the Vajra Temple techniques they practiced, they grew an average of more than half a foot taller, and their pale bronze skin and strong and sturdy bodies made them look even more majestic.
Just as Lu Yi and others were lining up at the gate of Jiuqu Garden, Yin Yuan had already rushed out with several royal princes, surrounded by a large group of palace guards and eunuchs. From a distance, Yin Yuan stretched out his hand to Lu Yi and Lu Yu: "My humerus is back... I am free from worries..."
Yin Yuan seemed like a little child who had seen his parents, and almost threw himself into the arms of Lu Yi and Lu Yu.
He tightly grasped the palms of Lu Yi and Lu Yu, lowered his voice, and asked hurriedly: "The general is likely to rebel... The queen mother may have been persuaded by the general, and she may want to become the queen."
"If a rebellion breaks out, Lord Tian'en, Lord Tianyang, can you...stop the general's imperial guards?"
Without giving Lu Yi and Lu Yu a chance to respond, Yin Yuan widened his eyes again and asked in surprise, "How did you get into the city? I heard that the general ordered the closure of the four gates of Haojing. How did you get into the city?"
Lu Yi waved his hand backwards, and several bodyguards came up and threw Le Lang heavily to the ground.
Lu Yi said softly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, we are back, Your Majesty has nothing to worry about."
With a cold smile, Lu Yi pointed at Le Lang and said, "Le Lang closed the city gate and refused to allow us to lead our troops in, so we had no choice but to capture him. Now the East Gate garrison is under our control."
Yin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "The East Gate has been taken? Good, good, good. If things don't go well, we have a way out to exit Gaojing..."
Lu Yi and Lu Yu started coughing at the same time.
This emperor is really...
Nothing has happened yet, and you're already planning on running away with your men in case you can't win?
Yin Yuan laughed dryly: "Well, after all, the Imperial Guards are powerful, and the entire Imperial Guards are under the control of the general. All the generals are his confidants... The Yulin Army I am in Jiuqu Garden is not even a fraction of the Imperial Guards in Gaojing."
Sighing, Yin Yuan quickly glanced around and said, "However, my two beloved ministers, rest assured. Even if we withdraw from the capital of Haojing, we still have a chance to make a comeback... Over the years, I have been frantically selling official positions and titles, and all the money I have earned has been used in Ganzhou in the northwest. There, I have a group of imperial guards that is no weaker than any of the four expeditionary armies!"
Lu Yi widened his eyes and looked at Yin Yuan in horror.
As mentioned earlier, Dayin's Four Expeditionary Corps is the main field force under the command of the Five Military Offices. It is Dayin's largest and most powerful main corps, and the scale of each corps is extremely large.
Yinyuan secretly used the money from selling official positions to raise a group of elite soldiers?
To conquer the east, the west, the north, and the south, even if Yin Yuan's elite troops were only a quarter of the strength of the four expeditionary armies... how much manpower and material resources would it take? How could he have made so much money by scraping the land?
Lu Yu and Lu Yu were silent for a while, then they saluted Yin Yuan with their fists clasped together: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
Lu Yu threw away his blood-red cape and said proudly, "However, since we are back, your Majesty can rest assured. No traitors or traitors can threaten your Majesty anymore."
Lu Yi coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this time when I came back, I also invited several real hermits. Their cultivation is unfathomable. From now on, they will sit in my family temple in Baimafang."
Lu Yi pointed to the east and chuckled, "Just now the sky in the east was red, that's because the masters were exorcising demons. Those evil demons are exactly the evildoers in the general's mansion. They were all dealt with by the masters."
Shenzui walked out slowly from the army with eighteen great monks.
Shenzui's appearance was excellent. After all, he was the abbot of the Great Diamond Temple. His graceful and elegant appearance was like the demeanor of a hermit, especially...
Buddhism is indeed the sect that is best at preaching and gathering believers.
When Shenzui walked out of the army, with every step he took, his body rose a little, and his feet were one inch higher from the ground.
And his bald head gradually became brighter.
Beneath his feet, the dust on the ground gathered like an invisible force and transformed into hazy golden lotuses, gently supporting his body.
Lotus flowers bloom with every step, and behind the gradually brightening bald head, there is a circle of hazy golden light like the rising sun.
Moreover, Shenzui gradually practiced the Dharma of the Great Vajra Temple silently. With every step he took forward, his body grew an inch taller.
When he walked in front of Yin Yuan, he was already three feet off the ground, with two golden lotuses under his feet slowly spinning, and his body became about sixteen feet tall, shining with golden light. The golden wheel behind his head emitted a faint glow , illuminating the main gate of Jiuqu Garden.
"The real immortal sect, the Great Vajra Temple, the current abbot, Master Shenzui... well, Master Shenzui, his life span is over three thousand years!"
Lu Yi introduced Shenzui's identity and added a harsh sentence at the end.
When Yinyuan saw Shenzui walking towards him step by step, his knees went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
After hearing Lu Yi’s introduction, Shenzui has lived for more than three thousand years?
With a bang, Yin Yuan and several princes behind him knelt on the ground neatly: "Master, please accept me as your disciple... You don't need to teach me anything else, just this method to live longer, please have mercy on me!"
Okay.
All emperors in the world have the same virtues.
After being the emperor for a long time, he wanted to live longer.
To live as long as the heaven and earth, and to shine as brightly as the sun and the moon, this may be a little too ethereal...but living to be eight thousand years old, this is the common wish of all emperors, right?
Shenzui smiled, stretched out his hand and pressed it on Yinyuan's forehead, and generously injected a stream of Buddhist power into Yinyuan's body.
"Your Majesty has a connection with my Great Vajra Temple... Good, good!"
"But, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven of Dayin, how noble is your destiny? I dare not accept Your Majesty as a disciple... But, I am the current chief guardian of Buddhism... I have the authority to allow Your Majesty to become a lay Buddhist leader!"
Shenzui smiled happily.
He did want to take Yinyuan into the Great Vajra Temple.
But...if he really did that, then the Taoist and Demonic sects would probably join forces to attack the Vajra Temple!
Even if the Great Vajra Temple monopolized Yinyuan, other Buddhist sects, temples, and monasteries might come to compete for it.
This is a situation that Shenzui absolutely does not want to see.
What the Great Vajra Temple lacks now is time, so it must develop in a low-key manner and must not waste time.
However, it is reasonable and there is absolutely no problem in letting Yinyuan be the head of all the Buddhist laymen.
A layperson is not a disciple.
As for the Taoist and Demonic sects, they were speechless too - they just wanted to believe in Buddhism. If you have the ability, why don't you come and seduce the emperor to change his faith?
But one step ahead, every step ahead!
With trusted ministers like Lu Yi and Lu Yu around Yin Yuan, it would not be easy for other sects to intervene.
Yin Yuan, kneeling on the ground, felt his whole body burning hot, as if an endless stream of life lava was flowing from his head throughout his body. His body, which had become exhausted due to years of indulgence in wine and sex, was filled with essence "crackling". His whole body was hot and his spirit instantly reached its peak state.
In the state of intoxication, the Buddhist power he injected into Yinyuan was probably just a drop in the ocean compared to his own cultivation.
But for Yin Yuan, this was equivalent to the life essence of several ordinary mortals being injected into him.
Yin Yuan, with a ruddy face, felt the surging energy and blood in his body, and danced with excitement: "High monk, master, the Buddha is alive... please, please... Lao Yu, Lao Yu, quickly clean up a few halls!"
The trembling and skinny Yu Changle walked out slowly.
Shenzui looked at Yu Changle, sighed softly, and casually pressed his palm on the top of his head.
I watched as the skinny Yu Changle swelled up like a balloon, and within a few breaths he returned to his original round, plump, white appearance. Bloody cold air continued to spew out of his pores.
Shenzui smiled and said, "This eunuch was killed by evil means. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Yu Changle was stunned, and then he knelt down with a thud.
When these sects in the cultivation world, and when great masters among the cultivators such as Shenzui brazenly enter the world and display their skills in front of mortals... this impact is subversive.
They are truly like living Buddhas who have descended to the world and can easily gather the faith of countless believers.
At the same time, the news that Luo Qian and others were completely annihilated at the East City Gate had been transmitted back to the General's Mansion through the channels of the Imperial Guards.
In the huge hall, General Le Wu was leaning on a huge chair. Two tall and stunning girls, whose hair and eyebrows were rosy, their eyes were slightly red, but their skin and lips were pale, were gently massaging his legs and shoulders.
Lewu...
Le Wu, who was over eight feet tall and had a waistline of over eight feet, had extremely fair skin, as white as paper.
Under the fair skin, there are thin blood-red lines.
These blood-colored lines were like living things, running rapidly under Le Wu's skin, twisting together from time to time, outlining a series of lifelike, but hideous and distorted faces.
There was also a circle of very fine blood-colored lines near his pupils. Looking closely, that circle of blood-colored lines was clearly made up of countless extremely tiny strange runes connected end to end.
Upon hearing the news that Luo Qian and his men had been annihilated, Le Wu slowly turned over and stood up.
"Luo Chen is dead? Haha... Come on, let's prepare a banquet. Please invite all the brothers and sisters of the Blood River Sect to drink!"
