Chapter 235: Killing Heart(1/2)
How grand and solemn is the emperor's funeral? In comparison, the scene where Fa Hai taught scriptures at Xiangguo Temple was like child's play. Neng Ren was extremely nervous and followed behind Fa Hai, as if he could learn from his master.
I found a little comfort in the upright figure.
But when they crossed the high threshold, faced with the huge coffin and the shrill word "kneel" shouted by the eunuch guarding the body in front of them, they could endure the almost instinctive weakness of their legs, and they almost died.
Kneel down under the atmosphere created in the mourning hall.
Money has ruled the world for hundreds of years, and the feudal system era covers almost all the time before and after this China. The common people's awe for the emperor is simply engraved in their bones.
Just when those who could bear to obey were about to obey the eunuch's orders and kneel down to the corpse lying in the coffin, a gentle force of energy dragged his whole body from kneeling down.
"master?"
Fahai's standing back showed no intention of turning around. The master and apprentice stood in front of the emperor's mourning hall without bowing, which already attracted the pressure of many people glaring at him, but Fahai looked so calm from beginning to end.
If you add in the gesture of closing his hands and covering his sleeves, then this handsome monk is really no different from the old farmer looking at his fields in the field, with a strong sense of country style everywhere.
"Bold! Which temple are you a monk from? How dare you be so rude before the death of the late emperor! Are you going to rebel?!"
The middle-aged eunuch on duty at the mourning hall cursed loudly with a cold face. The old eunuch who had been looking at the Master and his disciples had no intention of helping, and seemed not to like Fa Hai's behavior.
"The young monk Fahai, a member of Jinshan Temple in Youzhou, came to worship the late emperor in compliance with the decree of the previous conferment. The young monk is a person from outside the country, and the late emperor is a human monarch. People outside the country only worship the Buddha in the West.
Worship the mortal world."
As soon as Fahai finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. The middle-aged eunuch's face turned red with anger. He waved to the guards outside the hall and surrounded Fahai's master and apprentice layer by layer. And the man who had been there since
The white-haired old eunuch who said nothing after entering the door narrowed his eyes and looked at Fahai's back, as if guessing his intention.
"master!"
He could bear to be frightened by this. The common people's awe for the royal family was engraved in their bones. In his opinion, even if he was a monk, he still belonged to the people of Daqian. The coffin of the late emperor was in front of him.
How can I not kneel?
But Fahai was determined, and even ten cows could not pull him back. If he could endure it, he could only pray that his master would be so powerful that he could escape safely from the palace with him.
Fa Hai was wearing a white monk's robe without any wind, and his whole body was full of vitality. He took the initiative to stir up trouble so boldly, not because he was simply arrogant, but because he didn't want to wait for the so-called nobleman.
From Long's ascension to the throne, in the eyes of others, it may be related to loyalty and service. A king wants his minister to die, and the minister has to die. However, in Fa Hai's view, the two are cooperative relationships. If the relationship does not reach that level, it is impossible to say who is the other.
For whom to die.
Isn't it that he works hard to practice and accumulate magic power so that he can stop being a pawn in the hands of those in power and seek equality?
From the moment he entered Kyoto City, Fahai has always been passive. He can only do what others want and wait. The use of power by superiors to control people may have its beginnings, but Fahai doesn't like this feeling.
For example, today he was taken into the palace without inspection. At first glance, it seemed that he was highly valued by the nobles. However, Fa Hai was sure that if he did not do anything, he would just sit in the hall and wait, fearing that he would wait until the starry night.
You may not even be able to meet that noble person!
So he deliberately came here to stir up trouble, hoping that the noble man he could force would show up in time. However, judging from the current situation, Fahai's plan seems to have failed.
It doesn't matter, I still have a backup plan!
Fa Hai calmly took off the long sleeves of his robe, covered his left hand under the long sleeves, quickly pinched the seal with his five fingers, and used his amazing Qi skills to invade from a distance not far in front of him.
In the emperor's coffin, he planned to pretend to be a magic stick for a while, and then he could take advantage of everyone's surprise to step forward and perform a show of subduing demons. After the scene of the eminent monk subduing demons that he directed and performed was finished,
, due to his power, naturally no one would pursue the issue of whether he should kneel or not.
Tampering with the emperor's coffin would probably put a lot of psychological burden on anyone in the world of China, but Fahai didn't. He came from an era when princes and generals had a lot of respect for the emperor.
There is no natural sense of awe.
However, transferring air through the air is a very troublesome process. Even with Fahai's cultivation level, it is not easy to do such a thing. After everything was ready, Fahai turned around and gave his young apprentice a reassuring look, and then
Just when this farce was about to be staged, a loud and loud "Stop" finally came from outside the main hall, and Fahai finally saw what the noble man behind Zhang Mu looked like.
The noble man is only about 20 years old, about the same age as Fa Hai. He is concise and eye-catching, his manners are calm, and there is an indescribable grace between his brows.
As soon as this person appeared, everyone in the hall knelt down to pay their respects, and respectfully addressed him as His Royal Highness!
Prince?
Fahai thought for a moment, and ostensibly followed the crowd to salute His Highness the Crown Prince, but still had no intention of kneeling down to pay his respects. As far as he knew, the late emperor had only established his position as the Crown Prince the day before his death, and at that time, seven
Taking advantage of having a powerful figure like Wei Feng in his hands, the prince always regarded the forbidden areas of the palace as child's play. He sneaked into the palace and waited until the death of the late emperor before he appeared with the imperial edict. Although it was clearly written in black and white that the seventh prince would take the throne.
However, everyone was dissatisfied with the succession. After the overt and covert fight between Ji and Fan, both sides also took a step back. The seventh prince was not allowed to ascend the throne during the mourning period for the late emperor. The Eastern Palace system could be changed to supervise the crown prince.
So the original nobleman was the seventh prince in Kyoto who fought against many princes but still had the upper hand?
Fa Hai was not surprised by this, because there were only a few people in Kyoto who had the power to mobilize and use the Qin Tianjian. The seventh prince had the unpredictable Wei Feng to help him and subdue these Qin Tianjian, which was composed of strange people and strange things.
Not to mention the Tianjian, the one who really moved Fa Hai was the man who had been following the seventh prince Li Qiuheng silently.
Wei Feng.
After years of separation, this child should have been just a young boy, but due to some unknown exercises he had practiced, he looked unusually tall and black all over his body, much like the vicissitudes of working in the fields all year round.
Feeling, if they didn't know each other, even if someone told Fahai that he was forty years old, Fahai would believe it.
Li Qiuheng walked forward with a warm smile and looked at each other as if he had known each other for a long time. He smiled: "My father and Master Fahai were very good friends when he was alive. Now that my father has passed away, the master has come all the way to pay his respects."
Worship is already a very deep friendship, how can I restrain the master with those Five-Tails rules?"
With such a light word, Li Qiuheng immediately calmed down the trouble Fa Hai had just provoked. He waved to the guards in the palace, and then looked at Fa Hai with a half-smile without saying a word, as if to Fa Hai.
There is no hint of anger in his behavior.
"His Royal Highness is so generous and kind, which is really a blessing to the country!"
Fahai chatted with the Crown Prince for a long time, and it looked like they were having an intimate and lively conversation, but in fact, the topic never got to the point. Fahai tried to bring the topic back to the issue of the conferment of titles several times.
Go up, but every time, Li Qiuheng would take care of him with a smile.
What do you mean, don’t you want Guan’er to do this job?
Fa Hai was a little confused. How could he know that Li Qiuheng looked grand on the outside, but was extremely arrogant on the inside? He originally followed his wishes, ignored and suppressed Fa Hai for a few times, and then accepted him under his command. However, Fa Hai came and acted like this.
As soon as it came out, this made the Crown Prince feel unhappy and wanted to compete.
I will give you the highest standard of treatment, and I will also publicize my grace and care for you in Kyoto City. Even if Li Qiuheng does not accept Fa Hai, outsiders will subconsciously regard Fa Hai as a member of the prince's party.
people.
Aren't you arrogant? Let me see if your arrogance or utilitarianism give in to which one first!
There is a saying that it is better to meet someone than to be famous.
To be honest, Fahai was a little disappointed with the Crown Prince who was so proud of himself in the power pyramid of Kyoto City. Before, Fahai felt amazed by the arrangements made by Zhang Mu, the Imperial Supervisor, but now the real person is in front of his eyes.
, after some contact, I discovered that this prince seemed a bit narrow-minded.
When it comes to cooperation, Fahai can be cautious, but others can't!
This idea is probably the vernacular version of the saying that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.
Almost in an instant, Fa Hai and this noble man who had high expectations not long ago began to become inseparable. The two sides talked like this for a while, and Fa Hai handed over the imperial edict of the late emperor.
After leaving the palace, he directly asked to leave the palace, but how could Li Qiuheng be willing to let him go? He insisted on relying on the Zen master's profound magic power and asked to stay to chant sutras and pray for the late emperor.
Unexpectedly, when these words came out, Fahai himself didn't say anything, but Wei Feng, who had been following Li Qiuheng, seemed hesitant to speak. In the end, he had no choice but to directly attack Li Qiuheng in front of everyone.
A few words were whispered in his ears, and with Fahai's powerful ear, he could only vaguely hear the coffin, inappropriate and other small words.
After whispering for a while, Li Qiuheng was moved by Wei Feng's few words, and he said with an unchanging smile: "Master, why don't you go to the guest room of Qin Tian Prison to chant sutras and wait? Regarding the matter of the late emperor's conferment of titles, I,
We still need to discuss it with a few ministers, I believe there will be an answer soon!"
Although there were countless gossips in his mind about what was wrong with the coffin, Fa Hai was still very restrained in front of Li Qiuheng and did not even turn his head, expressing his willingness to accept his suggestion.
Seeing Fa Hai's response, the expression on Wei Feng's face became much more relaxed. Fa Hai took in all these details calmly, and he couldn't help but become more curious about the emperor's coffin.
Li Qiuheng personally led the way for Fa Hai and said affectionately: "If it weren't for the many affairs of this palace, I would have talked about Buddhism with the master all night long, but now I have wronged the master!"
The two best actors, Li Qiuheng and Fa Hai, were in tandem, as if they were brothers they had not seen for many years. Neng Ren and Wei Feng were behind Jin Jing Enhe. Because of their younger age, Neng Ren was always following Fa Hai.
Without raising his head, he unexpectedly bumped into Fa Hai's generous back with an ouch as he stepped out of the door. Fa Hai, who was joking with His Highness the Crown Prince, suddenly stopped for some reason.
Not only could he bear to feel strange, Li Qiuheng was also the same. He was chatting and laughing, and his mind suddenly froze?
Looking at Fahai's appearance, Li Qiuheng asked doubtfully: "Master?"
For some unknown reason, Neng Ren, who was following Fa Hai, suddenly felt an icy chill rising from behind him, as if wild animals were being targeted by ferocious natural enemies, and the world was full of murderous intent!
Fahai paused and said: "Nothing. At that moment, he suddenly thought of using wooden fish to chant sutras and pray for blessings. The young monk was wondering if he could bear to go back to his residence and take another wooden fish back, so as not to delay this time.
An imperial mission."
"This is the palace. We have all the wooden fish you want! Why go and get them?"
The prince laughed loudly, and Fa Hai also laughed. Only his vest was soaked in just that short moment, and he couldn't even laugh out loud. He even froze in his steps, as if he was carrying a huge weight.
I can't move even half of it.
Seeing Fahai and the prince walking further and further away, sweat almost fell from his forehead, which could endure the anxiety. Just when he was anxious, he heard a slightly hoarse voice coming from his ear without any warning: "Why don't you leave?"
?”
I can bear to turn around and see a young man in official uniform with a vicissitude of eyebrows. He is said to be a young man, but he looks extremely contradictory. His temperament and demeanor give people the impression that he is a young man, but from his appearance
But I always feel inexplicably old, giving people a very weird feeling.
