Chapter 387 The face of the statue!
Qi Mubai walked out of Su Zhiyi's yard and wanted to leave the temple and return to the city first.
He couldn't stay in this place any longer.
But he had not walked far when he saw two people in front of him. One was Kong Mao, who was beside Kong Dezhao, whom he had seen before. The other was also Kong Dezhao's man, but he did not know his name.
He had a bad feeling and turned away.
Kong Mao stepped forward and grabbed his shoulders.
"What were you planning to do?"
Qi Mubai's face turned pale: "I didn't..."
There was a sharp pain in my shoulder.
"I said, I said, I was originally... going to Yu Shengsheng's room. Su Zhiyi asked me to go."
"Me too……"
Before he could finish his words, Kong Mao slapped him in the face.
"The prince is right."
Kong Mao dragged him away.
All the way to the back mountain, in front of a ravine.
Qi Mubai's eyes widened: "Don't, don't..."
"The prince told me to ask you clearly what you were planning to do. If you wanted to harm Miss Yu, this is what will happen to you."
Qi Mubai's face was filled with panic, and before he could say no, Kong Mao didn't want to hear his explanation and just pushed him away.
Qi Mubai rolled down from above.
"Walk."
If you fall from here, you will be crippled if not dead.
There were no sword wounds, so even if he died, no one could say it was the prince's fault.
If he can survive, he is lucky.
Yu Shengsheng didn't know all this. When she saw the colorful rays of light in the direction of Tianwang Temple, she knew that Fu Qingyin was already ready.
It's time to take everyone over to see it.
The door of Tianwang Temple has not yet opened. In fact, it is rarely opened. It is not a public place.
When they got closer, the prince was in the front and ordered his men to go forward and knock on the door.
The person inside opened the door and was slightly startled: "Everyone..."
"We saw an auspicious sign here, so we came here to take a look," said the prince's men.
The Taoist nodded, opened the door and let everyone in.
He didn't want to do it, but he had no choice. If he didn't do it, he would die.
He was among the first group to surrender last night and was lucky enough to survive. There were more than a hundred people killed.
The air was filled with the fragrance of Buddha, very strong, and the sound of bells lingering. The wind blew past, and everyone inexplicably felt a little...
It doesn't feel like coming to an auspicious place, it's warm, soft and comfortable.
Instead, it feels a bit cold and solemn.
Maybe it's uncomfortable and depressing.
In theory, it shouldn't happen.
But, now I'm here.
Kong Dezhao was particularly sensitive to murderous intent. He walked at the end with his hand on the hilt of his sword.
As soon as the door opened and the wind blew towards him, he could smell the smell of blood wrapped in incense.
There was a slight tide, and when I looked down at the ground, I felt it was washed away.
What happened here?
His eyes were slightly cold and full of vigilance, and he moved closer to Yu Shengsheng without leaving a trace.
Lu Hu noticed it and saw it out of the corner of his eye, and he blocked Yu Shengsheng without leaving a trace, putting some distance between him and Yu Shengsheng.
Lu Xingzhan looked around quickly.
Madam Lu asked in a low voice: "What do you want to do now?"
"I didn't," Lu Xingzhan blinked, "I just wanted to see the auspicious sign."
Madam Lu laughed angrily: "I have lived for decades, and I still don't know this kind of trick? I'm telling you, don't take sides easily. If your grandfather finds out, he will break your legs."
Lu Xingzhan smiled with curved eyebrows: "With your protection, my dog legs will not be broken."
He whispered again: "Don't worry, I won't act rashly, and my grandfather will be here soon."
Old Madam Lu had already noticed that the servant beside him was missing, and she thought that he had gone to invite Prime Minister Lu.
Madam Lu nodded in satisfaction: "You are a fool, but you have brains."
"How can anyone in the Lu family be stupid?" Lu Xingzhan said with a smile.
As he was speaking, he heard footsteps behind him. It was Prime Minister Lu who came with a group of people.
Yu Shengsheng felt relieved.
Originally, these ladies headed by Madam Lu were enough, and now with these officials, it is even safer.
The prince turned around and saw Prime Minister Lu and the others. He smiled and said, "Prince Lu, everyone, you are here too. It's just right. Come in with me and take a look."
Prime Minister Lu stroked his beard and nodded: "This old minister was thinking the same thing. I just heard the bell and thought it was extraordinary, so I came here to take a look."
He looked up at the plaque and said, "I didn't know there was a Heavenly King Temple here. Who is this Heavenly King?"
The prince smiled and shook his head: "I don't know either, let's go in and take a look."
The prince led the way and walked all the way inside.
Everyone saw one or two Taoists appearing occasionally and began to feel suspicious.
If it is a temple, how can it be a Taoist priest?
How strange.
This hall was built magnificently and tall, with fragrant mist curling up from it. A statue of a god resided in it, and its image was very similar to the statue that everyone had seen in the colorful glow just now.
Yu Shengsheng stood in the crowd, looking up at the prince's back in front of her, her eyes as cold and sharp as a frost or snow sword.
Everyone walked in. The hall was spacious, and even with so many people coming in, it didn't seem crowded.
Someone exclaimed, "Look at the statue!"
The statues of gods are different from other common statues. For example, in Hongyuan Temple, there are only a few Bodhisattvas that everyone can recognize, and the Buddha statues are either golden or colorful.
But the one in front of you is different. It is made entirely of jade, with delicate and exquisite carving, which is extraordinary.
As you can imagine, the cost is not small.
The prince was also stunned at this moment. He remembered that this was not like this.
After the man just said this, everyone looked at the face of the statue again.
His eyebrows were slightly drooped, and his expression was compassionate, just like a Buddha statue, but this appearance...
Everyone was not blind and they recognized at once that this was not some heavenly king or some statue of a deity.
This is the prince!
The prince also recognized that it was his face and was secretly happy at first. But when he saw clearly that the face was his, his heart sank suddenly.
If there is an auspicious sign, it is good for him;
If the face of the statue belonged to him, it would be a great evil for him.
What's going on?
Why didn't he know anything about this?
Did those idiots act on their own to please him? Are they being clever?
The prince was so angry that he felt dizzy.
And this is just the beginning.
Lu Xiang's face immediately darkened: "Your Highness, what's going on?"
The prince turned around and looked at him - I still want to know what's going on!
The prince forced a smile and said, "The stone statues are all the same."
Even he himself doesn't believe what he said.
Prime Minister Lu laughed briefly and said, "Your Highness, how can you make a statue of a god casually? This statue is to be worshipped by the world. This statue looks exactly like you. Don't you have anything to say?"
Mu Que, who was standing beside the Crown Prince, said calmly, "Prime Minister Lu is so majestic. People who don't know would think that you are the master and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is your subject."
There was a moment of silence all around, and the low voices of discussion stopped for a moment.
Lu Xiang looked at Mu Que with sharp eyes.
After so many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, it has been a long time since a young person spoke to him like this.
Not to mention him, not to mention the officials, even the prince was stunned.
Mu Que has always advised him to keep a low profile, not to stand out, and to maintain stability.
Sometimes he felt aggrieved, but he had to admit that Mu Que was right.
But what happened today? He should have kept a low profile, but he dared to challenge Prime Minister Lu!
