A middle-aged monk wearing brown robes and a stern face walked slowly to Yan Zhuang, holding a string of rosary beads.
There was a hint of joking in his eyes, and his gaze fell on Yan Zhuang, as if he could see through his true identity at a glance.
"Kumaro!" Yan Zhuang called out Kumara's name with all his strength, but his voice was even lower than that of a mosquito.
"Who is this person?" A somewhat charming and cold female voice appeared behind Yan Zhuang.
The cyan skirt immediately appeared in Yan Zhuang's eyes, and then, a pair of thin green-white fingers touched Yan Zhuang's face.
"The poor monk advises the lady not to look around. This man can portray the Thousand-Faced Buddha so vividly. Since he is not his stand-in, he can only be a descendant of a noble family in Chang'an who once knew him. Maybe he was once your benefactor. Guest, are you really willing to be involved in this layer of karma?" Kumara's voice was very calm. After speaking, he slowly turned around and faced the stone door of the inner hall in front of him.
The green-white fingers slowly lifted up, and the light in Yan Zhuang's eyes quickly dissipated.
He wanted to see clearly at the last moment that at this time, there were people who came to the Tianyin Underground Palace besides the King of the Western Regions, Kumarajiva. However, he did not expect that Kumarajiva made it impossible for him to fulfill his last wish.
Yan Zhuang's thoughts were quickly fading away, and everything in his memory was quickly receding.
In front of us are the Tianyin General Altar, Yangzhou and Luoyang from earlier.
In Yan Zhuang's mind, the young man who often wore a black robe with gold threads flashed across his mind. His stern eyes concealed a look that could see through everything. Perhaps everything in the Tianyin Sect would eventually come to an end through him.
In the blink of an eye, Yan Zhuang forgot everything. In his last thought of participation, his family appeared, but...
"Your Majesty, Queen of Heaven, I owe you your kindness." The last sound came out, and Yan Zhuang completely lost his breath.
Kumaru seemed to have heard Yan Zhuang's last voice, and couldn't help but stop, raised his head, looked at the woman in the green skirt on the other side, and asked in a low voice: "Are you Tang people so loyal to the royal family named Li? ?」
"How is that possible?" The woman in the green skirt couldn't help but laugh, shook her head, and said, "We Tang people, loyalty has never been to the royal family, but to power. Isn't Tubo like this now, the national preceptor, these , you should all learn from us."
"Maybe," Kumara lowered his eyebrows slightly, avoided the topic, raised his head, looked at the stone wall in front of him, and whispered: "It has been so long, the yangization of the queen's soul should have been completed, what about the pill formation? , is it over?"
"If the Imperial Master wants to know, you might as well open it and take a look." The woman in the green skirt pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't take a step forward.
"The poor monk is here just to care about the situation of the Holy Queen, but the palace master... If the palace master wants to gain something, he has to do it himself!" Kumaru looked at the opposite side, Su Lianyu, the master of the Tianyu Palace.
Wearing a long green cross-cut skirt, she holds a white fan in her hand. Her face is somewhat plump, but her facial features are extremely delicate. Her eyes are as if they are thickened, catching people's attention.
"I just want to see if the way forward is completely cut off as people say. If this is the case, I am afraid that the Imperial Master will have to learn the way of reincarnation." Su Lian Jade raised her head, her eyes full of touching pity.
Kumaru snorted coldly and turned his head away, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
The method of reincarnation in Tantric Buddhism is the core of Tantric Buddhism inheritance. How could it be spread so easily?
Even the slightest hint of spying will immediately attract the pursuit of Tantric monks, but Su Lianyu...
"If the palace master is willing to give up the mortal world and take refuge in my Buddha, the poor monk is willing to ordain the palace master himself." Kumara turned around, his eyes suddenly softened.
A brilliant smile suddenly broke out on Su Lianyu's face, she bowed deeply and said sincerely: "I wish you the best. I wonder when the master will shave my head?"
The corner of Kumara's mouth couldn't help but twitch, he took a deep breath, wiped away the irritability in his heart, and said with a gentle face: "When the poor monk returns to Chang'an someday, how about the palace master leaving with the poor monk?
"
"The popular oiran in Chang'an has suddenly become a monk, Amitabha!" Su Lianyu held her hands in earnest, her eyes filled with longing.
Kumara clenched his fists tightly, and then he clasped his hands together: "Amitabha!"
Su Lianyu stood up, looked at the stone door in front of her with a very serious face, and said solemnly: "The fusion of yin and yang gave birth to the golden elixir. This is a miracle that has not been seen in decades. The mercy of the Holy Queen will illuminate all directions, and it will surely He will promise me to watch and learn from my companions, and then join the path together."
"Amitabha!" Kumara put his hands together, bowed slightly, and saluted seriously towards the stone door.
The next moment, two hands pressed on the stone door at the same time.
One is dry and rough, the other is slender and tight.
Huge power suddenly exploded, and the stone door rushed inward with a bang, causing a huge roar.
The two of them followed closely and stepped in. However, immediately after, a panicked and frightened voice sounded: "Su Lianyu from Tianyu Palace has seen the Holy Queen."
"The poor monk Kumara has seen the Holy Queen!"
The fire light illuminated the entire valley, and the raging water quickly poured into several houses in the deepest part of the valley, and then quickly poured into the underground passages along the secret passages in the houses.
Li Xuan stood outside the stone house, grabbing the ivy hanging down from the rock wall with one hand.
The powerful force firmly pressed down on the raft underfoot, preventing it from flowing into the stone house along with the water flow.
The water has been flowing for half an hour and is still continuing.
No one knows how deep this Heaven and Earth Palace is.
As his eyes closed, Li Xuan's mind returned.
Under the firelight, with his eyes flickering, Li Xuan had a trace of doubt on his face.
"My lord, is there anything wrong?" Qiu Zhenmu stood behind Li Xuan and asked in a low voice.
"Yeah!" Li Xuan nodded directly and said, "Everyone said that the Queen must form a pill, but looking at the Yuan Qi between heaven and earth, there hasn't been much change at all. This doesn't look like forming a pill at all."
Yang Shen, maybe it's okay, the divine fire can be condensed, but to achieve the golden elixir, not to mention the elixir becoming a dragon or a tiger, it must also absorb the massive Yuan Qi between heaven and earth.
At that time, the heaven and the earth will shake and the five tones will sound in unison. How can it be accomplished in such silence now?
"Perhaps she hasn't started to form pills yet?" Qiu Zhenmu carefully told Li Xuan's guess.
"If that's the case," Li Xuan turned around and said cautiously in a low voice, "then, when we go in, will we encounter that scene?"
"Your Majesty, do you want to wait or not?"
Li Xuan's face became solemn. He raised his head and looked at Qiu Zhenmu and the people behind Qiu Zhenmu. Finally, he nodded solemnly and said, "Wait!"
"Then follow the previous order and enter the underground palace tomorrow at six o'clock." Qiu Zhenmu nodded decisively in agreement.
"Yes!" Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked into the valley.
The Tianchi water outside the valley in the distance is still pouring into the valley, and the water level in the valley is falling at an alarmingly slow rate.
At this time, many corpses were already exposed from the bottom of the water.
It was so densely packed that the scalp of anyone looking at it was numb.
Li Xuan looked at Qiu Zhenmu and whispered: "General Zhonglang is extremely powerful and has more experience than you and me. He will be fine."
Qiu Zhenmu shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "What I am worried about is not the water of Tianchi, but my uncle's encounter with the demon monk Wu'an, Tubo's national teacher Kumara, Wanxiang Pavilion master Qiu Huan and Tianyu Palace master Su Lianyu He is already injured, and he may not be able to be saved if he encounters them."
"No, Yao Monk Wu'an and Kumaru encountered Master Shiyin first. Although Qiu Huan, the master of Wanxiang Pavilion, was in the Demon Sect, he didn't kill many people. However, Su Lianyu, the master of Tianyu Palace, if they encountered her, Zhonglang Everything will be fine.”
"She's the one I'm afraid of!" Qiu Zhenmu's face was full of helplessness.
Being shrouded in horse leather is an honor for a general, but it would be a shame to die in an unknown or even unspeakable way.
Li Xuan shrugged, what could he do about this kind of thing.
If Qiu Shenji really met the Master of Tianyu Palace, he could only blame his own bad luck.
Li Xuan's eyes swept around.
He was the only one who was in charge of everything here, and the others, Ming Chongyan and Sima Chengzhen, were all missing.
Who knows where they hid.
The flow rate of the Tianchi water in the valley began to gradually increase, and the water levels on the mountain walls on both sides dropped faster and faster.
Li Xuan raised her head and glanced at the eastern sky. Before she knew it, it would be dawn in half an hour.
Suddenly, a wooden raft came quickly from outside the valley and rushed towards the mountain wall without slowing down.
Looking at the figures on the raft, Li Xuan quickly stamped her toes into the water, and an undercurrent immediately rushed toward the raft.
This time, the speed of the raft dropped visibly to the naked eye.
A wooden pole stretched out from the raft and hit the bottom of the lake directly.
The raft suddenly drifted on the water, then moved in front of Li Xuan, and then leaned against the rock wall with a "pop" sound.
Li Zhu jumped directly over from the wooden raft, and then handed a short note to Li Xuan's hand.
By the light of the fire, Li Xuan opened it and took a look: "Behind the mountain on the east side, I found a secret passage."
Li Xuan handed the note to Qiu Zhenmu and thought about it carefully.
That secret passage should be the secret passage that Zhang Wanyu and the others took when they left.
When you leave, you will inevitably leave a trace behind.
Now that they have been away for two hours, the secret passage has finally been discovered by a private search.
"Let's go, send an order to the Qianniu Guards to follow me over there." Li Xuan made a decisive decision.
"Here!" Qiu Zhenmu and Li Zhu both led people on rafts and quickly headed out of the valley.
The surrounding Qianniu Guards immediately followed quickly.
Less than half a mile out of the valley, the raft could no longer move forward.
Fortunately, at this time, they had brought the raft to the side of the mountain wall.
Just as Li Xuan was about to go up the mountain and cross the ridge, a cold voice suddenly sounded from the side: "Your Majesty, are you so anxious, aren't you afraid that the secret passage is full of traps?"
Li Xuan turned around and looked at Ming Chongyan, who was standing on the side of the mountain road, holding a whisk in his hand. He slightly cupped his hands and said, "That secret passage may still have a mechanism, but compared to the previous one, it can go straight to the heart. It’s okay to take some risks.”
After a slight pause, Li Xuan looked deep into the valley, smiled slightly, and said, "You might as well stay here and lead the crowd in tomorrow, how about that?"
Ming Chongyan couldn't help but frown.
