Chapter 169: 168: The Best of Both Worlds(1/2)
The king and all the ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony were waiting quietly.
The queen is next to her. It is the queen who is fighting to come today. Normally she is not qualified to sit here, but today she found a good reason.
She said: "Lou Jinchen killed the priest of the Winter God Cult. I want to see what kind of person he is."
So King Qian had no objection.
There are many ministers here today, all of them are monks in the third realm, and some have already touched the threshold of the fourth realm.
Of course, there are also some who have not returned from outside, such as the two most important people, the national master and the high priest.
As for what may be discussed today, everyone knows that it is said that someone wants to reconcile the conflict between the national preceptor and the high priest.
And not long ago, this person was just an assassin-type figure.
A righteous warrior broke into the capital of the Qian Kingdom with a bit of recklessness. Many people here had heard of Lou Jinchen's name and what he had done, so they would naturally think that he was a person with a heroic spirit. But at the same time, I also feel that he is not a person who can control it.
This kind of monk who comes from the world and the mountains is either ruthless or cunning. It is not easy to control and tame them.
But in a short period of time, this river and lake has reached the fourth realm. There is a huge gap between the third realm and the fourth realm. There are many people in the third realm in Beijing, but the fourth realm can be found in one place. To call one's ancestors, to start a sect and call one's clan.
And regardless of his background, when he showed his strength in the Fourth Realm, he used the fall of another veteran Fourth Realm as a torch for everyone to see.
Such a fourth realm naturally makes people feel fearful in an instant.
Before we had time to get to know him, before we had time to understand his character, he had already become someone that no one could afford to offend.
Today, His Majesty has even asked His Majesty to summon the civil and military personnel of the entire dynasty to discuss matters with them here.
However, when Da Qian established the country, the king and the scholars shared the world, and the scholars among them were monks. Many of the officials who stood in the court were once pure monks. Only when they felt that it was difficult for them to enter the country for a while, they Entered the court and became an official.
And now, if Lou Jinchen, a fourth-level official, enters the court as an official, he must stand at the forefront of the court.
As the voice calling Lou Jinchen to enter the palace was heard, the cultivators in the court waited with bated breath.
The door is open, and the sun shines on the steps outside the hall.
They felt someone coming to the door. Although they didn't hear the footsteps, they felt that the sunlight outside the hall was getting stronger.
Yang Xuanye sat on the throne and looked out of the hall. His eyes narrowed slightly because he didn't see Lou Jinchen when he walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
It wasn't until one foot stepped onto the steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony that he saw the black boot.
Boots appeared, followed by legs and waist, then he saw the sword, saw a vine, and then the whole person was exposed in the sun.
In his eyes, this is a young man.
Young is not just about age. Compared with people in their twenties, Lou Jinchen is obviously older, but some young people have become old and miserable early on. And Lou Jinchen has a... There is a flying color unique to young people.
He stood there speechless, but the aura flying around him seemed to tell everyone that I can do it.
This is a state of vitality, a person like the rising sun. He is far from reaching his peak, but he is already shining brightly.
He couldn't remember how long ago he had lost this kind of heart.
Lou Jinchen stood at the door of the palace, looking inside at the people inside. He glanced over and seemed to see everyone in his eyes, but he didn't seem to be looking at anyone.
Take one step into the palace.
The sun entered with him, and there was a hazy glow on his body. As he walked forward, the glow of the sun was like an invisible veil, dragged into the hall by him, and it was like the brilliance of the sun in the sky.
After sending him in, the darkness quickly dispersed on the ground where he walked.
Everyone watching this scene felt as if they were facing the sun messenger.
Luo Chan, who was sitting in the queen's seat, looked at Lou Jinchen who walked in step by step. She had a special feeling, feeling that the person who walked in was also a priest of a certain 'god'.
Because she had only seen such divine light from the 'priest'.
"Is this Lou Jinchen the priest of the Sun?"
This thought flashed through her mind, and she soon figured it out again. After the Qi Refining Dao refined Yin and Yang, and reached the fourth level, it was normal for her to have a special feeling for the sun, but she felt that Lou Jinchen had a special feeling for the sun.
Induction has an indescribable mystery.
Entering the fourth realm, feeling the yin and yang, the mystery is gestating in the heart, and it is changing every day.
"Jiangzhou, Lou Jinchen, pay homage to King Daqian!"
Lou Jinchen did not kneel down. He had not understood the rules in the court, and no one had told him.
At the same time, he did not give his name as Xiaolou, but directly gave him the name Lou Jinchen to reflect his own magnanimity.
He saluted with the Taoist salute gestures he knew from his previous life.
In the Daqian court, if an ordinary person saw the king, they would naturally kneel down, but as a person in the fourth realm, Lou Jinchen would not say anything no matter what kind of courtesy he used, unless he was rude and offended.
"The master of the corridor is exempt from courtesy." Yang Xuanye said. He sat on the throne and looked at the people below. He also had a feeling in his heart. He knew how young the person in front of him was.
"The corridor leader came from Jiangzhou, and he is full of Jianghu aura. These days, he is much more dazzling than others." Yang Xuanye said. He didn't look tall, but rather thin, with a wisp of black hair.
His beard makes his whole person look rather bookish.
Lou Jinchen looked into the other person's eyes and felt that the other person's eyes had double pupils, and deeper behind the pupils, there was another pair of eyes staring at him.
"Your Majesty leads Daqian, and your will affects the lives of countless people." Lou Jinchen said.
It was also the first time for Lou Jinchen to meet the king. He didn't know what attitude to adopt or what posture to use. He could only talk to him as an elder. After all, he regarded him as a superior person and treated himself as an elder.
It must be uncomfortable if you put yourself in a lower position.
He never thought that he met the king after reaching the fourth level of cultivation just to please and listen to him. Today he wanted to express his feelings directly.
At this moment, in the middle of the row of people on the right, a person took a step sideways, stepped out, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please kill this villain!"
As soon as this man spoke, five more people moved out of the queue at the same time, shouting: "Your Majesty, please kill this villain!"
Yang Xuanye, who was sitting on the throne, remained calm and glanced at the people present. It seemed that all this was within his expectation. Some people might even think that this was what he had indicated.
"Director, I wonder what evil deeds you have done that have caused many courtiers to call you a villain and want to kill you?" Yang Xuanye seemed to be somewhat curious and searching.
Before Lou Jinchen could speak, the person behind him who had spoken suddenly came forward, came to where Lou Jinchen was standing next to him, knelt on the ground with a plop, cried and said: "Your Majesty, as soon as this person enters the city, he will kill my son. He is cruel and insidious. , and also killed Jia Shun, the second-rank general of our Qian Kingdom. Your Majesty will kill him immediately because he is such a helpless person. If you say more to him, you will misunderstand him."
"Oh, what's the misunderstanding?" His Majesty Yang Xuanye continued to ask.
Lou Jinchen stood there with his sword hanging on his waist. Inside this black shirt, there were actually sword buckles and belts specially designed for hanging swords.
He stood with his eyebrows lowered and his hands lowered, listening quietly to the other party's words. Feeling the questions and answers, he wanted to see what the Manchu monk wanted to do.
"If Your Majesty does not kill this person, the world will think that the laws of our country are in vain. It will make the monks in the world think that as long as their cultivation level is high enough, they can do whatever they want in the capital. It will make the world think that the laws of our country are useless. He only punishes the weak and does not dare to wield his sword against the strong."
Lou Jinchen listened. From the perspective of a country, these words were correct. His words were filled with sorrow and anger. Lou Jinchen suspected that he was Pan Shaoyou's father, Pan Lingyin and Pan You.
Otherwise, how could he say such words with so much emotion?
"Director, what's your explanation for this?" His Majesty Yang Xuanye's voice was a little more majestic and oppressive.
"Your Majesty, is this person Yingtian Ling Yin Panyou?"
"It's me, you're a scoundrel. In front of Your Majesty, today is the day you die!"
Pan You, who was already kneeling on the ground, immediately raised his head and yelled angrily. His face was full of ferocity and pain, and there was even more madness in it.
Lou Jinchen thought that those assassinations must have been by people he invited.
He couldn't help but sigh and said: "Your Majesty, I came today for the sake of the future of the monks of Daqian Kingdom, but there are always people who use personal grudges to invoke the laws of Qian Kingdom to punish me. It's very annoying. In this case, I'll just leave, Your Majesty, take my leave."
Lou Jinchen turned around and left.
Everyone was stunned.
Even the two people on the throne were stunned. The Queen was surprised, and so was His Majesty.
In their opinion, Lou Jinchen used the passage of the Jia family to write a letter. He couldn't just do it to help people selflessly. He must have something to seek, such as fame and wealth. As long as he wanted something, he would have the opportunity to take advantage of it. , naturally you have to suppress the opponent first.
However, Lou Jinchen turned around and left, which was beyond everyone's expectation.
Pan You, who was lying on the ground, immediately stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty, this villain is afraid of crime and wants to run away. Please capture him quickly, quickly, quickly!"
When he saw Lou Jinchen walking non-stop and about to walk out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he actually shouted loudly: "Jiang Guards, Jing Guards, take this man down, take him down!"
Lou Jinchen stopped at this time, because the guards at the door heard the shouts inside and blocked the door.
He stood there, holding the vine in one hand, but the hilt of the sword was shaking, and a ball of sunlight floated on it.
"Bang!"
Yang Xuanye patted the armrest of the table and chair, and the person stood up.
A person standing nearby said quickly: "Pan You, why are you so crazy? Is this a place where you can give orders?"
Yang Xuanye shouted: "Take Pan You down here!"
The armored guards outside the palace rushed into the palace and dragged Pan You's arms out.
Pan You was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "Your Majesty, your Majesty made a mistake, please forgive me for once. I am willing to die to repay Your Majesty's kindness. Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
But no one paid attention to him. At this time, the person who had scolded Pan Lingyin before said: "Since the director of the corridor came here for the future of the people of Qianguo, why did he leave without saying a few words? Now no one can stop him with personal grudges. Taoist Priest, we are waiting to listen to Taoist Priest’s words.”
Lou Jinchen really planned to leave just now. He felt that Pan You's remarks were ordered by the king. If he gave the order, it means that he still wants to beat him. In this case, he might as well leave. , I don’t care if these people are beaten to death.
So Lou Jinchen returned to the palace again, came to the front, and said: "Lou came to Beijing just to give his brother's relics to his daughter, but he never wanted to see his daughter being bullied. He originally intended to redeem her. I came back, but the other party was unwilling to let me go. This is something that Mr. Shi Shenquan can testify for me. It was he who accompanied Lou."
"When Mr. Lou took the person away, no one was hurt. As for Mr. Pan mentioned later, who was killed, Mr. Lou felt that maybe someone saw him acting despicably and illegally, so he took chivalrous measures."
