Chapter 331 Heavenly Master

"The water is deep!"

Fang Zhixing sighed in his heart.

This grand Buddhist event was filled with undercurrents and conflicts among various forces.

As he was speaking, the colorful auspicious clouds gradually slowed down and floated down.

Looking around, the ancient imperial city is divided into the inner city and the outer city, which are well arranged.

The colorful auspicious clouds flew directly to the prosperous inner city and passed over the clusters of buildings.

The core area of ​​the inner city is a huge imperial palace - Yuanye Palace!

This palace is magnificent and majestic, and was built on the original site of the previous dynasty's imperial palace.

Colorful auspicious clouds landed outside the palace gate.

Jingxuan walked forward, negotiated with the guards, and was soon allowed to pass.

The group entered the palace calmly.

After a while, they arrived at a huge square.

Right in this square, the Buddhist monks worked together to build a water and land temple.

But there is still a part that is not completed.

There were many big monks with bare chests, busying themselves with sweat.

"The event will be held in two days. Let's go to the guest room in the other courtyard to rest first."

Jingxuan walked without stopping and bypassed the water and land dojo.

Soon, they passed through an arched door and entered a garden courtyard.

The air is filled with rich floral fragrance, which is refreshing.

The villa is very large, with many pavilions scattered in the huge garden.

Accommodation was arranged quickly.

Jingxuan and others moved into a larger attic.

Fang Zhixing and a few others moved into a two-story attic and stayed there.

There were two eunuchs and four palace maids serving in the attic.

Fang Zhixing sat down, called the eunuchs and palace maids, and asked, "Is there a dragon throne in the palace?"

The eunuch and the palace maid looked at each other, somewhat confused.

Because there is only one dragon throne, specifically the one on the Golden Palace.

Of course, it was impossible for the emperor to carry the dragon throne with him wherever he went.

Any chair that the emperor has sat on is also called a throne or a golden throne.

A eunuch replied cautiously: "The dragon throne is in the imperial capital. There is a deer antler chair in the palace. The current emperor sat on it once."

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then asked, "Where is that deer horn chair?"

The eunuch thought for a moment and replied, "The deer horn chair has been kept in the Yufu Palace."

At this time, the maid next to the eunuch suddenly mentioned: "Prince Chu Guan is staying in Cuiwei Palace now, and the deer horn chair has probably been moved there."

King Chuguan is one of the four great princes, has a noble status and is qualified to sit on the Golden Throne.

Fang Zhixing understood and asked, "Have you heard of 'Tangquan Palace'?"

The eunuch replied: "There is a hot spring palace in the imperial palace, which is where the emperor bathes."

Fang Zhixing asked, "Isn't there any in the palace?"

The eunuch shook his head and said, "There is a natural spring here with excellent water quality. There is no need to build a hot spring palace."

Fang Zhixing immediately understood what was going on.

It seems that he might really have to make a trip to the palace!

Afterwards, Fang Zhixing took out some reward money and gave it to the palace maids and eunuchs, and let them go.

"Why, do you want to sit on that antler chair?"

Xigou walked up to Fang Zhixing, squatted down, and asked in a voice transmission.

Fang Zhixing pondered and said, "Condition 7 clearly requires sitting on the dragon throne, not the deer horn chair. I wonder if there is a bug."

Xigou pondered, "Well, the emperor has sat on the deer horn chair, so it might be considered a dragon chair. But even so, how did you snatch the deer horn chair from King Chuguan?"

Fang Zhixing replied, "Nothing is difficult if one sets his mind to it. It is impossible for the King of Chu to always carry the deer horn chair with him. When he leaves Cuiwei Palace, I will sneak in and sit on it once, without anyone noticing."

The dog understood and nodded, "Okay, I'll help you explore the way."

As he spoke, he shook his body, created a shadow clone, and ran out.

Fang Zhixing waited patiently.

But before he could even sit down, a eunuch came running in and shouted, "Excuse me, is Master Liansheng from the Taiyi Sect here?"

Liansheng opened the door and said, "This is me. What's up?"

The eunuch said, "Yang Baiqi, a scholar from the Hanlin Academy, please come over and have some tea."

Liansheng said with great interest, "I didn't expect Lord Yang to come too. He is the emperor's confidant and the prime minister's favorite student. The Confucian School hopes to shoulder this responsibility!"

"This way, please."

The eunuch bowed and nodded and took Liansheng away.

After a while, another eunuch came running.

"Is Lord An Baopu here?"

the eunuch shouted.

Fang Zhixing opened the door and replied, "It's me."

The eunuch said, "The masters of the Tianshi Dao, please come over and have a seat."

Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded, "Okay."

Then he called Lianyue and Lianquan and asked them to accompany him.

Seeing this, the eunuch wanted to say something but hesitated, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything more.

Led by the eunuch, the three of them crossed a garden and headed towards the attic opposite.

Walking.

A young Taoist priest in a white robe suddenly came towards him and blocked his way.

"Which one is the fellow Taoist from the Five Elements Sect?"

The young Taoist priest looked up with his nose in the air, his head held high and his eyebrows raised, looking very arrogant.

Fang Zhixing glanced at the other party, nodded as a greeting, and said calmly: "I am An Baopu from the Five Elements Sect, and who are you, fellow Taoist?"

The young Taoist priest casually cupped his hands and said proudly: "Tianshi Dao, Pingyangzi!"

Fang Zhixing replied indifferently: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Ping Yangzi put his hands behind his back and sneered, "Why, is there no one left in the Five Elements Sect? Only you are here?"

"presumptuous!"

Lian Yue seemed to have been unhappy with Tianshi Dao for a long time, and said angrily: "Pingyangzi, who are you looking down on?"

Ping Yangzi glanced at Lian Yue with a disdainful expression, and laughed: "If Lian Ge was here in person, she might be qualified to talk to me like this. Who are you, a clone? Who gave you the face?"

"you!"

Lian Yue's face was as cold as frost, and she said in a deep voice: "You are so arrogant, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue? If you have the guts, let's fight!"

"Hahaha!"

Pingyangzi raised his head and laughed, saying contemptuously: "I heard that you were ambushed by a group of evil demons on your way here, and you almost lost your life. It was only by the Buddhists that you were saved."

He clicked his tongue twice, winked, and said with disgust: "Can you guys be more motivated? You have brought shame to our sect.

Hey, just consider it as a plea from you Five Elements Sect and Taiyi Sect, don't ever say you are from the Taoist sect again, I, the Tianshi Sect, really don't deserve to be associated with you."

Lian Yue was furious. She took out seven talismans, laid them out in a row, and they lit up one by one, emitting seven colors of light.

In an instant, a huge wave of powerful force swept in all directions, alarming everyone.

Dozens of eyes were cast over at the same time.

"Hey, you're going to hit someone if you can't win the argument?"

Pingyangzi jumped back, put his right index finger to his mouth and bit it.

Then he wiped his index finger between his eyebrows! The eyebrows were immediately stained with blood.

The bright red blood condensed together and transformed into a vertical eye with a pupil in circles, which was extremely mysterious.

"Heavenly Eyes!"

Pingyangzi's mouth curled up, and his smile was particularly sinister.

His eyes swept across the seven talismans, and he instantly saw through everything. He suddenly realized, "So it's the Seven Star Sword Talisman. Although this set of talismans is extraordinary, it still can't do anything to me."

After saying that, he stood still with his left foot and moved his right foot in front of his body, leaving a circle.

"Magic circle: draw a prison on the ground!"

The scratches on the ground suddenly lit up, and the powerful force gushed out, condensing into a circular cage.

Seeing this scene! "One thought forms a formation, amazing!"

There were exclamations of amazement from all around.

Lian Yue's eyes flashed, and she suddenly put away the seven talismans, with a sneer on her lips.

"you……"

When Pingyangzi saw this, he was stunned at first, and then veins popped up on his forehead.

Lian Yue said calmly, "Once the prison formation is activated, it is enough to resist attacks for a cup of tea. It is indeed extraordinary, but this formation has a shortcoming, which is that it cannot be dispelled at will."

Lian Yue stepped forward and said sarcastically, "Just stay in jail obediently. I won't keep you company any longer."

“…”

Pingyangzi's face was stiff and his expression was extremely gloomy.

"Hahaha, this is called shooting oneself in the foot!"

Lianquan was extremely happy, and deliberately walked with a swagger, as graceful as the wind, and left.

Fang Zhixing couldn't help but smile and walked away without saying a word.

Soon, they arrived at the attic.

"Lord An, please come in." The eunuch pushed open the door with a smile.

Fang Zhixing calmly walked into a hall and immediately saw five figures.

There are three men and two women, each with a different appearance.

There are white-haired old men, charming women, and young boys.

But Fang Zhixing immediately sensed that the auras of these five people were powerful, not weaker than Ping Yangzi, and they were all powerful men in the Hundred Bulls Realm.

It seems that the Tianshi Dao attaches great importance to this Buddhist event and has sent six powerful men to participate.

"My name is An Baopu, nice to meet you seniors and fellow Taoists." Fang Zhixing bowed casually.

"Welcome, Brother An."

The white-haired old man came forward and introduced them, "I am Yunsongzi, and these four are Kongqingzi, Qingxiazi, Yuanxuzi, and Chunyangzi."

He smiled and said, "We have another companion, Ping Yangzi. I'm sure you've already met him. He's actually not a bad person, but he's a bit sharp-tongued. I hope you don't mind."

Fang Zhixing said, "That's not true. All Taoist sects in the world are one family."

Everyone took their seats.

Yun Songzi said, "Let's be frank. I invited Fellow Daoist An to come here to discuss an important matter."

Fang Zhixing had already guessed it in his heart, and said calmly: "Please speak clearly."

Yun Songzi said carefully: "The Ancient Emperor Forbidden Zone will be opened soon. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be in three days."

Fang Zhixing responded: "Do you want to explore the Ancient Emperor's restricted area?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Yun Songzi nodded and said, "Of course I want to go, but this Ancient Emperor restricted area is very strange. Each time it is opened, only a small number of people are allowed to enter. The number of places is limited."

Fang Zhixing asked in surprise: "How many people at most?"

Yun Songzi replied: "Preliminary judgment is that there may be no more than twelve people."

Fang Zhixing blinked and asked in confusion: "Hey, how did you know? If I remember correctly, the last time the Ancient Emperor Forbidden Zone was opened was five hundred years ago."

Yun Songzi was silent for a moment, and explained, "Five hundred years ago, twelve people also entered the Ancient Emperor's Forbidden Zone, but only one person came out alive.

Afterwards, that person was being hunted by various parties, and in order to protect herself, she gradually leaked some vague information. "

Fang Zhixing frowned and asked, "Who is that person? Is he still alive?"

Yun Songzi said in a deep voice: "That person is the Great Black Buddha Mother!"

Fang Zhixing was moved, and smacked his lips and said, "I didn't expect that the Buddhist sect's biggest worry would have such a wonderful encounter."

Yun Songzi sighed and said, "The twelve places were revealed by the Great Black Buddha Mother. We believe she was telling the truth."

Fang Zhixing understood and said thoughtfully, "I heard that people from the Confucian school are here too. If Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism share the twelve places, each school can only get four at most."

Yun Songzi nodded and said, "Don't forget, this is the home ground of the Buddhist sect. If we want to get more places, it will be like snatching food from a tiger's mouth."

Fang Zhixing agreed with this and said with his hands spread out, "If the evil demons such as the Great Black Buddha Mother also want to have a share, I'm afraid we may not be able to get all twelve places."

"reasonable!"

Yun Songzi nodded repeatedly. He looked at Fang Zhixing deeply and asked, "Does Daoist An have any ideas?"

Fang Zhixing thought for a moment and said seriously: "I am only here to attend the meeting on behalf of the Five Elements Sect. I don't want to get involved and I have no intention of interfering in the Ancient Emperor's restricted area."

Upon hearing this, Yun Songzi and the other four changed their expressions and said hesitantly, "Are you serious? Do you dare to swear to the inner demon?"

Fang Zhixing laughed and said, "I am an immortal. The inner demons have no effect on me. You can believe my words or not."

Yun Songzi and the other four were suddenly speechless.

"Of course I believe what Fellow Daoist An said."

Yun Songzi laughed and said, "However, Brother An's trip here cannot be in vain. I have a suggestion."

Fang Zhixing said calmly: "It's okay to talk about it."

Yun Songzi said: "In the grand event in two days, there will definitely be fierce competition among the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.

Daoyou An is also a member of our sect, and I hope you can help us once and help boost our reputation."

After a pause, Yun Songzi stroked his beard and added, "Of course, I won't let you work in vain. If we get some rare treasures from the Ancient Emperor's Forbidden Zone, how about allowing you to choose one from them?"

Fang Zhixing sneered in his heart and said decisively: "I still say the same thing, I don't want to meddle in other people's business."

Yun Songzi smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this and nodded, "Okay, we won't force it."

Soon, Fang Zhixing got up and left.

Just at this moment, Pingyangzi walked in, and the two sides passed each other without any further conflict.

Ping Yangzi sat down and watched Fang Zhixing and the other two go away. He said with an unhappy face, "Why do you have to be so humble to this An Baopu?"

Yun Songzi said indifferently: "This person suddenly appeared, which is quite remarkable. I got accurate information that he did defeat the Lord of Suzaku Peak."

Ping Yangzi's expression changed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "That doesn't mean anything."

At the same moment, Fang Zhixing and the other two were walking away.

Lian Yue couldn't help but ask, "Brother An, do you really not want to go to the Ancient Emperor's restricted area?"

Lianquan echoed, "The Ancient Emperor's Forbidden Zone is related to the previous dynasty. There are rumors that when the previous dynasty was destroyed, countless treasures and rare treasures were moved into the Ancient Emperor's Forbidden Zone."

Fang Zhixing remained calm and responded, "Have you ever thought about why out of the twelve people who went in last time, only one person came out alive?"

Lian Yue and Lian Quan looked at each other.

Fang Zhixing sighed softly, "Unless we find out the true situation of the Ancient Emperor Forbidden Zone, I don't recommend anyone to go there rashly."

Lian Yue nodded and said thoughtfully: "That's right, after all, we only have one life."

There was something insincere about what she said.

The magical power of the Three Pure Ones is mysterious and unparalleled.

Lian Yue and the other two can just have two of them go in, with one staying outside.

Even if two clones died, it would not have a big impact on her. At most her cultivation would just decline a little.

The three returned to the attic.

Gradually, dusk fell.

Liansheng came back, reeking of alcohol.

He called Fang Zhixing, Lianyue and Lianyue, and said with a smile: "Yang Baiqi told me that the Confucian sect has agreed to join forces with the Buddhist sect to suppress the Taoist sect. The condition is that the Confucian sect will get five places."

Fang Zhixing shook his head speechlessly, saying playfully: "The Heavenly Master Way is really unpopular!"

…

…

It's getting dark.

The shadow clone of the thin dog ran back.

"We found Cuiwei Palace!"

The thin dog wagged its tail and laughed, "I also saw the deer horn chair. It is indeed in Cuiwei Palace."

Fang Zhixing perked up and asked, "Is there a chance?"

The dog transmitted the message: "I overheard that the King of Chu will go to the flowing spring to take a bath tonight."

Fang Zhixing was overjoyed.

Soon, the man and the dog quietly left the villa, avoiding all the guards along the way, and came to Cuiwei Palace.

At this moment, King Chu Guan had just left Cuiwei Palace and the guards were empty.

Fang Zhixing, wearing black clothes and a mask, sneaked into a palace under the guidance of Xigou.

With their strength, it is too easy to do this.

Soon, a deer antler chair came into view.

Fang Zhixing sat down on it without saying a word.

He stared at the system panel.

Time passes by little by little!

However, nothing happened.

"It seems that it must be the one and only dragon throne!"

Fang Zhixing sighed.

…

…

In a flash, it was two days later!

The Buddhist event was held as scheduled.

All the monks and guests from all over the world came to the water and land temple.

Fang Zhixing sat down calmly and observed everyone casually.

Just see!

Abbot Jingxuan sat among the eminent monks.

Several of the monks had a majestic aura and an astonishing sense of oppression. They were obviously masters from Wanfa Temple.

On the other side, there was a group of scholars dressed in Confucian attire, each of them was gentle and polite.

The middle-aged man in the lead was none other than Yang Baiqi, a scholar from the Imperial Academy. He was dressed in white as white as snow, and had an elegant demeanor that was natural and natural.

They stood together, with purple air surrounding their heads, condensing into a vast and boundless righteous energy that was beyond words.

"When scholars unite, it's really terrifying!" Fang Zhixing sighed softly.

Wait a moment.

A heavyweight character makes his debut.

It was the King of Chu! He seemed to be less than 40 years old, with a burly figure, a face as if it had been carved by a knife and an axe, a short beard, and a look of majesty that looked down on everything.

King Chu Guan, dressed in a dragon robe and with a smile on his face, walked into the dojo.

The whole place fell silent in an instant, and you could hear a pin drop.

"Meet the Prince!"

Everyone bowed respectfully.

"No need to be polite!"

King Chu Guan was smiling widely as he sat on a deer horn chair, attracting everyone's attention.

He laughed loudly and said, "Today is a grand Buddhist ceremony. We would like to invite Master Kongji, the abbot of Wanfa Temple, to preach Buddhism to us."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, an old monk with white eyebrows stood up, walked onto the high platform, and began to expound on Buddhist practice.

Although this master Kong Ji preached all theories, they sounded extremely boring.

But experts know the ins and outs.

Fang Zhixing was also a person who understood Buddhism, so he listened with great interest and benefited greatly from it.

The morning passed quickly.

Master Kongji finally finished his speech.

King Chu Guan took a sip of tea and said, "Next, let's discuss the allocation of quotas."
