Chapter 258 Drama (2)
During the battle of Wuzhou City, Lu Yi was creating a strong wind and pushing the water clouds, carrying Yin Xi, Lu Xiu and a group of 129 people, flying from a height of thousands of feet and heading straight for Haojing City.
As for the Marquis of Beicuo and others, Yinzhen had personally chopped off the heads of several princes, and then asked their subordinates to go back and deliver the message, letting the relatives of the major princes wash their necks and wait for death.
The image of the three-eyed god shines brightly, and Lu Yi's entire body is covered with shining water and wind patterns.
Controlling water with water ripples and creating water clouds are just the most common operations. The water is light and clear, as if it doesn't matter, shuttling through the void. It really feels like water is so soft and can penetrate any pore. It flies at a high speed without any resistance at all.
The wind pattern controls the wind, and its wind speed is extremely fast, dozens of miles can be covered in the blink of an eye. If it is accelerated further, hundreds of miles can be covered in a moment between one breath and another. Lu Yu took care of Yin Xi and others, and did not speed up to the extreme, but it was still jaw-droppingly fast.
Yin Xi was very courageous. He stood on the edge of the water clouds with his hands behind his back, overlooking the mountains and rivers below, and suddenly spoke.
"So, the spiritual energy of the world has revived, and cultivators have returned to the human world. Whether it is martial arts training or the path to immortality, there is hope and a future..."
Yin Xi murmured, "No wonder, in the past few months, Lu Xiu and many other nobles have made breakthroughs in their cultivation. Even I have reached the peak of the Pixue Realm."
"If we hadn't made a breakthrough in our cultivation, how could we have escaped from the Blue Wolf Clan's surveillance?"
"Hehe, hehe."
Yin turned around and looked at Lu Yu: "Lu Yu, have you entered the Great Vajra Temple?"
Lu Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I did worship in the Great Vajra Temple... and, if my estimation is correct, the Buddhist sect represented by the Great Vajra Temple is the strongest among the three religions of Buddha, Demon, and Taoism."
Lu Yi expressed his guess.
The three religions of Jishengtian were all severely damaged by the powerful enemies .
However, Buddhism has a method of enlightenment. Before dying monks pass away, they can transfer all their cultivation to their disciples!
Ji Shengtian suffered a great defeat that year, and his path of cultivation was almost cut off.
There are thirteen inheritance elders in the Great Vajra Temple... The three sects, three temples, three Zen monasteries in Buddhism, and the other eight families in the nine sects, it is impossible that they don’t have even one inheritance elder, right?
Calculated in this way, the potential power of Buddhism is quite strong and terrifying.
What about the Taoist sect and the Demonic sect?
They may have some tricks up their sleeves, but they are not as good as the Buddhist sect's cheating. Therefore, Lu Yi judged that among the three religions, Buddhism is the most respected. And the Great Vajra Temple, which has thirteen succession elders, is one of the best even in Buddhism.
Yinyan gently touched the long hair on his head.
Lu Yi immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Jishengtian Buddhist sect is divided into two types: ascetic monks and worldly monks... I am also a worldly monk, but it doesn't matter. Abbot Shenzui promised that I will be the next abbot of the Great Vajra Temple in the future!"
It felt quite strange when Lu Yi said this.
However, he had a feeling in his heart that the Great Vajra Temple and Dayin were related to his cultivation plan. The stronger the Great Vajra Temple and Dayin were, the stronger the blessing he would get and the faster he would cultivate.
Of course you have to hug those two thick thighs.
Yinhui was the previous emperor of Dayin. What does his return mean... Lu Yi felt inexplicably excited.
Yin Xi smiled and nodded. He looked at Lu Xiu, then at the loyal ministers on the water cloud who had accompanied him through twenty years of hardship in the territory of the Blue Wolf Clan, and smiled and said, "You gentlemen, do you remember that I once said that you will never leave me and that we should share the glory and wealth."
Yin Xi smiled and twirled his beard, saying softly: "Now it seems that wealth and glory alone are not enough to reward our merits... We should share eternal life!"
There was a gleam in Yin Xi's eyes. On the water cloud, a group of civil and military officials including Lu Xiu, and two old eunuchs who looked murderous all laughed out loud. They were all bent forward and backward with laughter, looking a bit crazy.
I originally thought that I would spend the rest of my life in that icy, snowy, barren place.
Unexpectedly, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth revived, and their cultivation levels broke through rapidly one by one. Finally, they found an opportunity and protected Yin Xi and escaped.
They originally thought that they would all die by the Baimang River under the crazy pursuit of the Qinglang Clan.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiu inexplicably broke through in the battle, cultivated a body of Vajra, and killed tens of thousands of Green Wolf Cavalry by himself, protecting everyone to safely cross the Baimang River.
It was originally thought that the princes of Beiming Province, who had stabbed Yin Xi's personal expeditionary army in the back and caused the army to be annihilated, mobilized their troops to encircle and kill them frantically, and Lu Xiu was also entangled by the evil master, and everyone would eventually die in the battle.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yi was moved and used his supernatural powers to appeal for help from Haojing . He also severely damaged the armies of Beicuohou and other princes in one fell swoop. Everyone finally escaped.
Originally, he thought that being able to return to Haojing and fulfill his promise to share wealth and glory with them, and live a graceful life from then on, would be the ultimate perfection in life.
I didn’t expect that Lu Yi would open a door to a brand new world for everyone!
Wealth!
that power!
Live forever and enjoy happiness!
How can I describe the bliss of life?
Twenty years of hard work have paid off!
Several white-haired old generals laughed wildly, pointing at Lu Yi and saying, "Lu Xiu, this is your Lu family's Qilin son... We are jealous, how about marrying him?"
Lu Yu's face turned slightly red, and Shuiyunshang's laughter became more and more wild.
He traveled at lightning speed from Beiming Prefecture to the territory of Beicuo Hou and others, and then to Haojing, a distance of hundreds of thousands of miles. Because he had to take care of Yinzhen and others, it took Lu Yi three full days and two nights.
After entering the city, Yinzhen and his entourage did not make a big fanfare, but sneaked into Lu Yi's Tianyang Palace. After washing and changing clothes, the group quietly dispersed under the protection of the guards sent by Lu Yi, contacted their relatives and confidants, and colluded with old relationships.
Especially the two old eunuchs around Yinzhen, one is Yu Wuyou and the other is Yu Bushi. They are the "godfathers" of Yu Sandou who is now beside the empress dowager and Yu Changle who is now beside Yinyuan. They are the most serious ancestors of all the eunuchs in the Dayin Palace.
In the past twenty years, the personnel in the Imperial City, Jiuqu Garden, and many other inner court offices have changed beyond recognition. However, there are always old eunuchs and old staff who have stubbornly stayed by following the unspoken rules of the inner court.
Yu Wuyou, Yu Busi, and even Lu Yi didn't know where they went or what they did.
All Lu Yi knew was that less than three hours after Yinhui and the others returned to Haojing, a group of eunuchs with sinister and murderous auras, like old zombies, appeared around Yinhui. They made people inexplicably nervous.
Yinzhen passed down one order after another through these eunuchs.
In the city of Haojing, the originally heavy atmosphere of impending storm suddenly became a little weird.
All this, Lu Yi just sat and watched.
What can he say?
He just had a sudden impulse and sensed that his blood relative was in danger, so he ran over and saved his own grandfather from a group of evil monks.
He just saved his own grandfather.
As for saving Yinzhen, there were more than a hundred nobles and important officials who were loyal to Yinzhen...
Lu Yi could only say, who could have imagined such a thing?
Finally, this day.
September 9th, the nineteenth year of Jiayou.
Outside the four gates of Haojing City, the main elite troops of the four expeditionary corps under the Five Military Offices set up camp outside the city. Banners fluttered, large banners flew in the air, and teams of elite cavalry galloped back and forth, the dull sound of their hooves like thunder, the sound shook a hundred miles away.
The east gate of Haojing City was tightly guarded by a group of elite soldiers led by Yu Dianhu, who was sent by Lu Yi.
However, the north gate, west gate and south gate of Haojing City were wide open. The main elite troops of the Northern Expedition, Western Expedition and Southern Expedition Corps outside the city could charge into Haojing at the command - the problem was, who gave the order and who accepted it!
In the city of Haojing, the imperial guards from several states and counties surrounding Haojing brazenly stationed in all the fifth-rank and above streets. Elite local imperial guards patrolled every street. The soldiers in helmets and armor walked back and forth, making Haojing look murderous. The people closed their doors and windows and dared not go out.
In the imperial city, golden bells and jade chimes rang continuously.
Rays of blood shot up into the sky, and the imperial city issued the highest level of summons, ordering all the nobles and officials in the city to enter the imperial city for discussions.
The imperial city was surrounded by densely packed elite imperial guards who were fully armed.
The streets and alleys within a radius of nearly a hundred miles were filled with imperial guards, and in many streets and alleys, there were large groups of heavy cavalry ready for battle.
Each of these elite imperial guards had blood rising from their bodies, their eyes were slightly bloodshot, their faces were distorted, their expressions were insane, and they were intimidating to look at.
On the long flagpoles, blood-red flags made of strange materials fluttered in the wind.
As these flags fluttered, strange waves swept across the void. Many civil and military officials who were ordered to rush to the imperial city accidentally glanced at these flags for a few more times, and immediately felt their hearts churning, dizzy, and vomited loudly in embarrassment.
Some elderly and frail officials even rolled their eyes and fainted on the spot, causing countless people to exclaim in surprise.
In the imperial city, the sound of golden bells and jade chimes continued to ring, melodious and pleasant to the ears.
At the gate of the imperial city, a group of civil and military nobles, court officials, and officials gathered with solemn faces. They looked at the densely packed elite imperial guards, looked at each other, and carefully observed the changes in the expressions of the people around them, hoping to figure out their intentions and bottom lines from the changes in their facial expressions.
Zhu Chong and other cultural and educational leaders stood quietly at the gate of the imperial city with gloomy faces.
Countless people were looking at them, but no one could analyze even a little useful information from their faces.
Suddenly, there was a loud uproar among the courtiers.
Along the street, a group of arrogant and defiant young men and women, escorted by a large group of imperial guards, rode their horses and came galloping.
The hostages of the princes of Sijifang have arrived.
They were not as well-behaved as the court officials. When they arrived at the gate of the imperial city, they were still talking and laughing loudly, making a lot of noise, which made all the court officials frown.
But when Zhu Chong saw these protons, he smiled slightly and waved to the leading protons.
Several powerful hostages from East Shenzhou, Beimingzhou, West Youzhou, and Nanmanzhou, whose power was unrivaled in their own states, came in front of Zhu Chong with a smile and high spirits, and greeted Zhu Chong with the etiquette of juniors.
Many court officials felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
Is Zhu Chong indicating that their cultural and educational lineage has reached a tacit understanding with the major princes?
