The temple door was pushed open from the outside, and two monks in charge of the White Horse Temple walked in uninvited.
Zhou Ning and a few soldiers chased after the two monks in charge and said, "Your Majesty, they..."
"Nothing." Li Luo waved his hand at Zhou Ning and said, "You can leave for now."
Zhou Ning retreated with his soldiers.
Jiang Zhuojun looked at the two monks in charge and said coldly, "You are so brave."
The two monks in charge ignored Jiang Zhuojun and saluted Li Luo with their hands clasped together. The monk in charge who was standing slightly forward said, "Your Majesty, the people in the city are waiting for you."
Li Luo said: "Are you trying to force me?"
The monk in charge said, "I dare not. I am just afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to explain to the people in the city."
Jiang Zhuojun held the hilt of the knife and was about to give up.
Jing Mo reached out and held Jiang Zhuojun's hand, whispering, "You can't do it now."
Su Zhao was wearing a veiled hat, covering his face. Master Su Wu sneered and said, "You two masters know exactly how the Imperial Master died. Are you sure that the body of a person who died suddenly can be transformed into a relic?"
The monk in charge said, "Don't worry about this, sir."
Jiang Zhuojun said: "The emperor will not show up, so you should forget about it."
The monk in charge said, "Your Majesty, it is snowing outside now. If you keep the people waiting for a long time, I am afraid that you will be known as an unkind person."
Li Luo didn't say anything.
The two monks in charge stood in front of Li Luo waiting.
Seeing that the two sides were deadlocked here, Jing Mo laughed and said, "Do you two really think that the Eternal Life Temple can protect you?"
The two monks in charge lowered their heads and said nothing.
Jing Mo said to Li Luo, "Your Majesty, why don't we go and see how the body of a person who died suddenly turns into relics."
Li Luo frowned.
Jing Mo walked up to Li Luo and whispered, "It will be disadvantageous for you to continue to be in a stalemate. Let's go first and act according to the situation."
"Your Majesty, please," the two monks in charge bowed together.
"Get out," Li Luo said angrily.
This time, the two monks in charge did not confront Li Luo, but stood outside the hall.
"Since they dare to hold this ceremony, they must have a way to make Cheng Ming's body turn into relics," Su Zhao whispered after the two monks in charge left. "If your Majesty leaves, you can only watch their evil plan succeed."
"Someone come here," Jing Mo shouted outside the hall.
The captain of the guards ran in from outside the hall with his hand on the hilt of his sword.
Jing Mo said, "Go find Princess Linglong and Prince Consort Gu as soon as possible and tell them about the Nirvana Ceremony."
The chief guard said, "What does the master want the princess and her husband to do?"
Jing Mo hesitated for a moment and said, "Let them set fire or whatever."
Captain of the Guards..., is this really okay?
"No, we can't set fire to it," Li Luo said, "This temple is full of people now."
Su Zhao also said: "Once the fire is set, the people in the temple will have no way to escape, and there will be heavy casualties."
Jiang Zhuojun wanted to say that the gang had experience in arson, but General Jiang couldn't bring himself to say that.
Yu Xiaoxiao squatted on the ground and asked Gu Xinglang, "Are those people above chanting scriptures?"
Gu Xinglang nodded and said yes.
Yu Xiao: "What sutra are they chanting?"
"I don't know," Gu Xinglang said, "I haven't read the scriptures."
The eldest master was not idle and interrupted and said, "It turns out that the prince consort also has books he has not read."
Gu Xinglang was too lazy to pay attention to this person. As a general, did he need to read Buddhist scriptures?
Yu Xiao: "Xiongxiong, I found a problem."
The boss said, "What's the problem?"
Yu Xiao: "I didn't see anything supporting Cheng Ming's body, how did he sit there without falling down?"
The boss said: "I have never done this, I don't know."
"There's something strange," Yu Xiao said.
The big boss said, "How about we go up on the stage and take a look?"
"Stop making trouble!" Gu Xinglang hurriedly shouted at the boss. If they were to go to the stone platform to study Cheng Ming's corpse, how many people would be recruited to chase and fight them?
"bye--"
Another monk on the stone platform shouted loudly.
People kowtowed together to Cheng Ming on the square stage.
The big boss said, "I don't think it's a big deal for us to just squat there. I've seen quite a few people glaring at us."
We are all kneeling on the ground with full of piety, waiting for the Buddha's relic from the Imperial Master, but you guys are squatting there chatting as if nothing happened. Who else should we stare at if not you?
Li Luo and his group walked out of the Buddhist temple at this time.
Xiao Wei hurried in from the left courtyard gate.
Jing Mo waited for Xiao Wei to run to him and asked in a low voice, "Have you found your princess and her husband?"
Xiao Wei shook his head.
The chief guard asked, "Could they have left the temple first?"
Xiao Wei said, "There are already many people kneeling outside the temple. Even if my princess and her friends leave the temple, where can they go?"
Who can know this?
Jing Mo said, "Where are the people from Xiaozhuang?"
Xiao Wei said, "He is still looking for someone in the temple."
The sounds of chanting and ringing bells came from the Shifangtai Square with a huge momentum.
"Keep searching, and make sure you find the princess and the others," Jing Mo said to the young guard and the captain of the guards.
The young guard and the captain of the guard clasped their fists, accepted the order, turned around and ran away again.
Li Luo did not wait for the two monks in charge to lead the way. He walked down the steps with his hands behind his back and headed towards the courtyard gate.
Su Zhao whispered to Jing Mo: "If this continues, it will be even more difficult to end."
Jing Mo certainly understood what Su Zhao meant. Once Li Luo, as the new king, personally welcomed the Chengming Buddha relic, the new king of Suzaku would be powerless even if he wanted to break free from the control of the Eternal Life Temple.
"We can only make a fuss about the relic," Jing Mo followed behind Li Luo and whispered, "This relic must be fake."
Li Luo paused for a moment, but did not speak.
After hearing Jing Mo's words, Jiang Zhuojun and Su Zhao were unsure. How could it be easy to prove that the relics were fake?
At this time, there were monks talking on the stone platform.
Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't understand the scriptures, and now she still couldn't understand what the monk was saying.
Gu Xinglang understood what he heard, and whispered to Yu Xiaoxiao: "These monks are talking nonsense."
Yu Xiao: "What are they saying?"
The head monk said, "The monk said that Chengming had announced the date of his death a month ago."
Yu Xiao: "Passed away?"
Gu Xinglang said: "It means death."
Yu Xiaoxiao immediately said, "Isn't this ridiculous?"
The eldest boss clapped his hands and said, "Princess, I know what these people want to do!"
Yu Xiao: "What do they want to do?"
"They are holding a ceremony for the deceased's death," the eldest head said, "It cannot be wrong. It must be a ceremony for the deceased's death."
Yu Xiaoxiao was worried. What was this Nirvana Ceremony?
The eldest boss said to Gu Xinglang, "Prince Consort, we can't tolerate this, can we? This monk was clearly killed, but these people said he passed away and became a Buddha. This is too fucking shameless."
