Master Wangkong wrinkled his snow-white eyebrows and sighed: "I had heard about the governor's illness before, and I had been worried about it. Now that you have recovered from your serious illness, I am really happy and congratulated!"
Jiangbeiqiao shook his head and smiled bitterly. Princess Zhaohai on the side said:
"The prince-in-law's strange disease is not just a simple illness. Just when we were helpless about the prince-son-in-law's strange disease, a miracle doctor suddenly rebelled against the county governor's house. Thanks to his intervention, the prince-in-law was cured of the strange disease. It turned out that the prince-in-law was not only infected with the disease but , and is also haunted by evil spirits.”
"The miraculous doctor said that in order to save the prince-in-law's life and completely drive away the evil spirits, he needed to borrow the temple's Vajra Bodhi umbrella. This sacred object should be enshrined in the Jiang family ancestral hall. After a month, the evil spirits on the prince-in-law will be completely eliminated, so I came here this time because I want to borrow the Rudraksha sacred umbrella from your temple!"
Princess Teruhai has always been approachable and has always called herself "me". Now she suddenly changed her name to "this palace" and emphasized her tone. There was a hint of authority in her words. Her move was to be polite first and then attack. Monk Kong Lao was a little overwhelmed.
Master Wangkong gave a bitter smile and said: "Princess...that Rudraksha umbrella is the treasure of our country. If there is no decree from the emperor on this matter, I am afraid..."
Princess Zhaohai was neither humble nor overbearing. She took out a golden token from her sleeve and said, "This is the gold medal given by the emperor. Seeing the gold medal is like seeing my imperial brother. Could it be that Master Wangkong thinks that I am not worthy enough to lend you that magic token?" umbrella?"
At this moment, the majesty of the princess was fully displayed. Not only Jiang Beiqiao was shocked, but also A Dong and A Xing were a little surprised. They did not expect that the princess could be so majestic and shocking in front of the big rights and wrongs.
Princess Teruhai usually doesn't like to use her status as a princess to pressure others, but this time she was so pressured that Master Wangkong didn't even dare to breathe.
He immediately nodded and said: "Princess, don't be surprised. Since the princess wants to lend the magic umbrella to the consort, how can I have the courage to stop it? Besides, this Rudraksha sacred umbrella is not my property, but your majesty's. Since the princess has a gold medal personally given by your majesty, "The princess's wish is the Holy One's wish. I dare not disobey, so I will take the princess to get the Rudraksha umbrella."
Princess Teruhai nodded slightly. Her eyes were covered with cloth. As long as she didn't show half a smile, she was filled with extremely powerful majesty, which gave people a sense of oppression.
Master Wangkong immediately took Princess Zhaohai and Jiangbeiqiao to the temple. They passed through two courtyards and came to Luoming Pagoda. The courtyard was full of guarding soldiers.
Jiang Beiqiao secretly sighed in his heart. According to legend, there are heavy guards guarding the Temple of the Protector of the Nation. Even I, the Qianqiao County Sheriff, have only heard about it and have never actually seen it. Now that I have seen it, the rumors are indeed true.
"Who is entering the tower?" The guarding general stepped forward to stop him. He had been guarding the things in Luoming Tower for so many years, but he had never seen the old monk bring anyone in.
Over the years, he followed this group of monks here and ate vegetarian food all day long, which made him very resentful. Listening to the monks chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name all day long drove him almost crazy!
Master Wangkong hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "General, this is the current Princess Zhaohai!"
"Princess...Princess!" The general's face changed with fright. He wanted to express his resentment, but unexpectedly the person who came was the current princess.
He hurriedly led a group of soldiers to kneel down to the princess: "See you, Your Highness!"
The soldiers beside him shouted to see Her Royal Highness the Princess. This royal majesty immediately frightened Jiang Beiqiao who was following him. Looking at the blindfolded princess next to him, he felt that she seemed to be different from the usual weak and helpless person at this moment. The princess is different, she really has a shadow of her brother Yu Fengxing.
As long as she has the blessing of being a princess, her majesty and sanctity will never be violated, and he, the commoner consort, must hold her high above his head.
"Get back on your feet!" Princess Teruhai didn't say much, but as her majesty became even more apparent, the general stood to one side with his tail between his legs, not daring to say another word.
Master Wangkong couldn't help but want to say Amitabha to calm down his mood. Fortunately, the princess didn't get angry. Otherwise, she would have been punished if she had acted like that to the general just now. Then the general would have suffered a loss and would have spread his resentment to them. On top of this group of monks.
Originally, the general was very dissatisfied with being transferred to the National Guard Temple to guard the temple.
He didn't like the monks in the temple. Apart from cleaning and delivering meals, Master Wangkong would never let those monks come to Luoming Pagoda to avoid being reprimanded by the general.
Master Wangkong stepped forward, slowly pushed open the wooden tower door, and then carried them towards the top of the tower.
A Dong whispered to Princess Teruhai: "Princess, be careful of the stairs, we are going to climb up the tower!"
The stairs of the tower were so narrow that they could barely support the two of them walking side by side. Princess Zhaohai, the general of Jiangbei Bridge, had difficulty moving and was afraid to step forward on the steep stairs. He stepped forward and took the initiative to hold her hand up and said, "Princess, let me help you." !」
With Jiangbeiqiao's support, Princess Zhaohai felt much more at ease inside. She stretched out her hand to hold his hand tightly and slowly stepped onto the tower ladder.
Although the tower ladder was steep, fortunately they reached the top of the tower smoothly, and saw the statue of Goddess Luo Ming enshrined on the top of the tower.
Jiang Beiqiao raised his head and looked at the huge statue. The goddess in green fairy clothes was doing flying spins, stepping on auspicious clouds with one foot, and bending her knees with one foot on her legs. Colorful ribbons were fluttering on her body, and the fairy clothes were blowing in the wind. Her face The leader's face was covered with a curtain and his appearance could not be clearly seen.
He asked: "Is this the legendary Goddess Luo Ming?"
Master Wangkong nodded and said: "That's right! This is the Goddess Luo Ming. This statue was built in the image of the goddess nine thousand years ago, and this Luo Ming Pagoda was also built for her by King Qi Xi. It was built, but over time, it has been renovated many times due to the baptism of war. However, this statue is well preserved, it is really the same statue from back then!"
"That's it!" Jiangbeiqiao said.
Princess Teruhai said: "Since I am borrowing the goddess's umbrella, I naturally have to pay homage to the goddess first!"
Jiang Beiqiao nodded and said, "What the princess said is true!"
So he helped Princess Zhaohai come forward, and the two of them knelt on the futon and began to worship sincerely.
After the two of them knelt down and worshiped the jade, Master Wangkong bowed to Goddess Luo Ming, and then stepped forward to turn the nine-turn lotus lantern at the foot of the statue. As the nine-turn lotus lantern turned left and right, the statue of Goddess Luo Ming appeared. A rectangular groove was slowly opened, and a brown box was hidden in the groove.
Master Wangkong took out the box and handed it into Jiang Beiqiao's hands. Jiang Beiqiao felt that the box was heavy.
He said: "Master Wangkong, is this the legendary Rudraksha Umbrella?"
Master Wangkong nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Sheriff!"
After speaking, he stepped forward and slowly opened the box.
A Dong and A Xing couldn't help but poke their heads over to take a look. They saw a bright light inside the long box. Inside was a golden divine umbrella. The umbrella was inlaid with luxurious colorful gems, and the edge of the fan was covered with cyan tassels. , there seemed to be some patterns painted on the fan, but the umbrella was not opened, so they could not see clearly what was painted on it?
The handle of the umbrella is also engraved with auspicious cloud patterns. The whole magical umbrella looks extremely luxurious, and its spiritual energy leaks out, making people dare not look directly at it.
A Dong and A Xing immediately stretched out their hands to block their eyes, feeling that they, mortal bodies, could not look directly at the brilliance of the divine umbrella.
Jiang Beiqiao also felt that when he was holding this sacred Rudraksha umbrella, his heartbeat could not help but accelerate, as if his body and mind had been cleansed, and there seemed to be a spiritual light warming his heart.
Princess Zhaohai on the side, although her eyes were covered with cloth, she still felt that the darkness in front of her eyes was suddenly replaced by a dazzling golden light, as if there was an illusion of a goddess in green dancing in the sky, with a graceful figure. The goddess suddenly stretched out her hand and flew towards her. She shouted and backed away quickly: "Ah--"
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Beiqiao asked hurriedly.
Wangkong hurriedly closed the long box and turned to look at Princess Zhaohai.
I saw that Princess Zhaohai looked a little pale, and kept retreating as quickly as possible, as if someone was behind her.
A Dong and A Xing hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said, "Princess, princess, are you okay?"
Master Wangkong couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw the princess's symptoms.
Believe it or not, she felt that the moment the Rudraksha umbrella closed, a black ghostly aura seemed to come out of the princess.
The princess has a body of gold and a phoenix, so why is there a strange ghostly energy lingering on her body?
Master Wangkong is afraid that he has been blinded by this matter, and he cannot be careless about this matter. If he rashly questions the princess, not only will his own life be in danger, but the monks in the National Protector Temple will also be implicated.
He then thought about it, if the princess was really haunted by some ghost, how could she not know about it? How dare you approach the Rudraksha Umbrella, an artifact that can exorcise ghosts and demons, maybe you are overthinking it.
Master Wangkong hurriedly explained: "The Rudraksha Bodhi Umbrella is a sacred object of the gods. Mortals will inevitably produce some strange symptoms when approaching it. Because Lao Na is blessed by Buddha's light, he can resist the divine light emitted by the umbrella, so he does not Affected, the princess must have seen something strange!"
A-Dong and A-Xing also nodded immediately. A-Xing said: "Well, that must be the case. Just now I saw the golden light emitted by the Rudraksha umbrella, and I felt dizzy. I couldn't look directly at the umbrella. The light seems to be shocked by its divine power!"
A Dong said in confusion: "Although we are mortals, the princess is the body of a phoenix. How come she feels uncomfortable? But the consort is fine. Why is this?"
Jiang Beiqiao said: "I felt my heart beating faster just now, as if... I had seen this Rudraksha umbrella somewhere."
Master Wangkong said: "The Prince Consort has read a lot of poems and books, I must have seen it in the records in some book."
Jiang Beiqiao nodded and said: "Maybe, I have read a lot of books about Qi Xiu Kingdom before. Princess, what did you see just now?"
Princess Terumi listened to what they said to each other, and they all told about the strange faces they saw, but no one said that they saw the graceful goddess in green clothes. She immediately said: "I...I just suddenly felt Suddenly there was a golden light in front of my eyes, so I was shocked!"
