Chapter 1173 The Unmanned Sword and the Mad Queen
On the way out of Jingzhou and into the capital.
A Taoist priest and a monk were traveling together.
The Taoist wore a lotus crown, a black Taoist robe, and a white sword hung at his waist. He looked like an immortal at first glance, but in fact he was extremely tall, and his Taoist robe was bulging, making him look particularly sturdy and strong. He had a pair of protruding ears with extremely large earlobes and narrowed eye wrinkles, and he didn't look like a good person at all.
If you look closely at the scripture patterns on the white robe of the old monk next to me, you can see that it is actually embroidered with genuine silver-gold silk threads, and there is a white lion embroidered on the shoulder of the robe, which is not easily visible.
The monk has a delicate face and at first glance looks like a newly-minted monk in his twenties.
In one hand he held a magnificent staff, and in the other he held a purple gold bowl.
But one thing was very strange: there was leftover rice in the monk's bowl.
The monk stood aside, then looked at the Taoist priest, and finally decided to speak out: "The knife that is suppressed in Longhu Mountain should not be taken out. I can feel the hostility coming from it just by walking with you."
There are three disciples of the old Taoist priest of Mount Longhu still alive: Qingshuang, Changchun and Chenxin.
Except for Chen Xin who was taken in by the old Taoist priest a few years ago, the other two have lived from the past to the present and have experienced countless life and death situations.
The person in front is Changchun, also the third uncle of Longhu Mountain.
Changchun looked at the old monk beside him and said respectfully, "Master asked me to pick it and send it to you, so I took it."
The monk frowned: "Is the old Taoist priest getting confused?"
Changchun looked straight at the monk and was about to take action.
The monk waved his hand and said, "It was a slip of the tongue. The old Heavenly Master himself is stubborn, and the disciples he taught are one with a bad temper and one as stubborn as you. I heard that Chen Xin is not doing his job properly?"
But as he said this, the monk looked at the long box wrapped in cloth on Changchun's back and said, "The origin of the knife is also recorded in my Yulong Temple. It should not have appeared in the world, and it was suppressed by the swords of your successive Heavenly Masters. Its violent energy is not something that ordinary people can control."
Changchun's expression remained unchanged: "Master said it is time for it to be born, so it should be born."
The monk smiled softly upon hearing this: "It's all predestined, and it's all unpredestined. The old Heavenly Master wants to give this sword to Yunxiao or the Queen, or to the child Kuyue. Since it is sent to the capital, only the three of them who practice swordsmanship can hold this sword. The fifth pair, Liu Huangwu and the others are not qualified yet. But, it should be the Queen."
Changchun said, "Master Long Shi, Master asked me to deliver the sword, so I did. I don't know anything else. I didn't ask anyone from the Shen Ce Mansion."
When the Living Buddha Longshi from Kunlun Yulong Temple, who was called Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, heard this, he sneered and looked at Changchun: "Your master asked you to die, and you want to die?"
Changchun nodded without hesitation: "Master, if I want you to die, I will die."
Long Shi waved his hand and said, "If you hear the true Dharma in this life, you will fall into the three evil paths for eternity. If your master really lets an innocent person die casually, I will have to learn from the methods of this old Taoist master."
As he spoke, the monk turned around and continued walking.
Changchun walked beside the old senior without changing his expression.
When two people meet and have the same destination, they naturally travel together.
However, Long Shi looked at the road ahead and saw the people on the road. "When I was discussing Buddhism with the old monk who was about to die in Lotus Temple, he mentioned the matter between you and Qing Shuang. He said that you were a monk in Lotus Temple and your murderous nature did not change. He had no choice but to abolish your cultivation and make you an ordinary monk. But Qing Shuang came with the old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest told you, 'For thousands of years, the soup in the bowl has caused deep grievances and hatred. If you want to know the war disasters in the world, just listen to the sound of the slaughterhouse in the middle of the night.'"
Changchun said: "Master saved me."
Long Shi glanced at Changchun and asked, "So you gave up Buddhism and followed Taoism?"
Changchun still answered quickly: "Tao is Buddha, Buddha is Tao, there is no difference. Master said that people should cultivate themselves, and asked me to think clearly about 'what am I'."
The corners of Long Shi's mouth rose. No wonder all his cultivation was wasted. He started all over again and still reached this point. His state of mind was truly extraordinary. A great man can really teach people.
But he did not continue to talk about these things, and instead said: "Since you have come down the mountain, the place you should go to is not the capital, but the no-man's land. All the old demons that your master did not kill are there."
Changchun said, "I won't go unless Master tells me to."
Long Shi continued, "Back then, more than a dozen of you brothers went down the mountain to join the war, but were ambushed and betrayed by those members of the Demon Sect who hated your master. You were trapped in the mud and surrounded by the Mobei army. Only a few of you managed to escape. Later, one of you died while practicing a technique that you couldn't cultivate, leaving only two of you. Don't you hate those members of the Demon Sect?"
Changchun shook his head: "Master has killed all those who should be killed. As for the rest, I won't kill them unless Master lets me."
Long Shi chuckled and said, "That old fellow Dan Xian has a good disciple. He is not like mine, who wanted his wife and daughter to sneak down the mountain."
Changchun looked at Long Shi and said, "If you go to the capital, aren't you afraid of Yan Yunxiao? Didn't she almost kill you back then?"
It is not advisable to expose someone's shortcomings. Upon hearing this, Long Shi remained silent.
The cow's nose is the same as Dan's!
If you don’t want to talk, then don’t talk. If you do talk, it will choke you to death!
And regarding this matter, old man Dan Xian leaks everything out!
But at this moment, behind the Taoist priest and the monk, a bloody figure ran past like flying, and behind him were several people holding knives and chasing him.
The monk took a quick glance and saw that the person running away was a woman with a baby in her arms.
The dozen or so people behind him were all strong men.
None of them are very strong, only below the sixth rank.
"Taoists and monks, get out of the way! The Giant Whale Gang is doing their business, so get out of the way!" The person chasing behind roared.
Long Shi raised his eyes slightly, and the white lion on his monk's robe seemed to open its eyes.
And the next moment, Long Shi turned around.
The dozen or so people had just caught up to Long Shi. When they were only one step away from him, the copper ring of the Zen staff in Long Shi's hand began to ring.
Wow!
Although Long Shi was not seen making any move, the dozen or so people were all lying on the ground in a pool of blood.
The woman who was running away in front saw this scene, stopped and looked horrified.
Long Shi looked at the corpse on the ground, his lips moved slightly, and he recited scriptures softly, letting the blood slowly flow towards him.
As long as hell is not empty, you will never become a Buddha.
What is hell? The world.
Long Shi opened his eyes and ignored the corpse on the ground. There are endless evil spirits in the world, but if you meet one, just kill it.
Changchun's eyes were narrow and he just glanced away and ignored it. The world has always been like this and it will be like this in the future. No need to say more. No need to say more.
Just when Long Shi turned around.
But he seemed to sense something and immediately looked at the knife box behind Changchun.
Changchun also noticed something and immediately took off the scissors and pressed it on the ground with one hand.
But at this moment!
The cloth outside the scabbard shattered in an instant.
A knife box completely wrapped in Taoist talismans appeared.
But the scabbard was trembling, as if the things inside wanted to come out.
Long Shi looked back at the corpses on the ground and couldn't help but frowned: "It's just because there is blood around. Dan Xian must be crazy to let it come out!"
After saying this, Long Shi placed the Zen stick in his hand to one side, then put his hands together, lowered his eyes and recited the scriptures.
The monk's robe, scriptures and the white lion were gently revealed.
Changchun also recited the Taoist Heart Purification Sutra.
But even so, the murderous aura within the scabbard was revealed, which immediately made Long Shi and Changchun feel a chill on their backs.
The sound of the blade trembling was like the sound of a ghost.
Two people work together
The knife box gradually calmed down.
But beads of sweat were visible on Long Shi's forehead.
Even on Changchun's hand that was holding the scabbard, there were tiny traces of blood.
Finally, Long Shi let out a long sigh and looked at the knife box. "Back then, that woman used this knife to kill all the people in the martial arts world. Even those who learned her Yiweiting technique died countless times because of this knife. My Yulong Temple records that the martial arts masters wanted to destroy this knife together, but the evil spirit on the blade would affect the state of mind of anyone who touched it, and thus change their character. In the end, the Heavenly Master reluctantly brought it back and hung it on your Longhu Mountain."
Changchun wrapped the knife box with cloth again, "I don't know, but my master told me to send it to the capital."
Long Shi was silent, but the next moment he took off his luxurious monk robe, leaving only the plain white robe that didn't match his inner garment. "Wrap it up with it. There will be too many ordinary people on the road ahead, so as not to affect them."
Looking at Changchun wrapping the knife case with his monk robe, and seeing that his brutality had not diminished over the years, Long Shi didn't dare to think about how many people died under this knife in the past.
Danxian wants to give this knife to the queen.
What if the Queen can't control herself?
…
In Lingqi Pavilion, ever since the small banquet for the ladies of honor ended, Su Changan had been sitting in the hall with a pen in his hand, not knowing what he was writing.
No one else bothers you.
But now, Su Changan said: "My direction is wrong. I have been emphasizing what others think, but this cannot be done, right?"
Su Changan raised his eyes and looked at the little black cat lying in front of the table.
The black cat turned its head and looked at Su Changan.
The four looked into each other's eyes.
The black cat's ears stood up and it stared at Su Changan.
Su Changan continued: "Well, you think I'm right, very good, as expected you can understand me."
Su Changan ignored it and looked down at the title on the paper on the table: [On how to change your image and let others see you correctly]
And next to it, there is a title [Where did my money go]
Below this title are various densely packed annotations, including the names of palaces such as the Imperial Garden, the Imperial Kitchen, etc.
But Su Changan was stunned at this moment, and looked up at the black cat: "I'll let you smell it, can you find the money for me? If you can, I'll make you cat food that you've never eaten before."
The kitten sat up and tilted its head to look at Su Changan.
