The Poor Monk Cultivates a Way

Qi Ze said: "Since ancient times, abolishing the crown prince is a huge matter. It is a last resort and should not be taken lightly. Could it be that the crown prince is so unvirtuous that even Emperor Yu has the heart to abolish the crown prince?"

Liu Guanbai said: "My father has always been unpredictable, not to mention the prince's nature is also tyrannical, he has offended many ministers these years, even if the father wants to abolish the prince, it is not impossible!"

Qi Ze pondered slightly, Jin Zhaoyi suddenly revealed the identity of Emperor Yu's illegitimate son, it must be that Emperor Yu and the Kunxu faction secretly contributed to the flames, and the two reached an agreement to announce it to the world. Pushing Jin Zhaoyi to the fore must have the meaning of competing for the throne!

Liu Guanbai said a few more words, he was very courteous, and wanted to keep the two of them in the mansion. Qi Ze didn't bother to pay attention, so he left.

There was nothing Liu Guanbai could do, so he could only see off the guests eagerly.

Qi Ze and Monk Luo Hai found a small temple to live in, each with a meditation room.

Qi Ze sat on the Zen bed, thinking about how to arrange it. Monk Luo Hai went out to inquire about the news. When it was time to light the lamp, Luo Hai came back and said, "Master Qi, this disciple has inquired about a piece of news, saying that the Pingtian Dao and the Notre Dame Sect have passed on a letter to Emperor Yu, and they want the three families to stop fighting and negotiate peace!"

Qi Ze frowned, and said: "Ping Tian Dao and the Holy Mother Cult coveted the great treasure, prepared for many years, and it was so easy to start an incident, this should be a tactic to delay the attack."

Luo Haidao: "I'm afraid it's because of Beiman Mountain's meddling. Seeing that things are not in harmony, the two cults want to calm Emperor Yu's heart, make the Yu Dynasty and Beiman Mountain fight to the death, and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Qi Ze said: "That's it! What is Emperor Yu's attitude?"

Luo Haidao: "Emperor Yu seems to be quite moved, and has ordered people to negotiate."

Qi Ze said: "The crown prince is most anxious now, we just need to see how he will deal with it. I will wait a few more days to see how the court responds."

In the prince's mansion, there was a sound from the prince's study, which was the sound of broken porcelain. The servants of the mansion have long avoided far away. Ever since Emperor Yu issued an edict declaring that there was still an illegitimate son living in the Kunxu sect, and recognized him and recorded it in the imperial genealogy, the prince became more and more tyrannical and murderous every day. It can be said that everyone in the Prince's Mansion is in danger.

In the study room, no matter good or bad, the prince smashed all the things in the room, panting angrily, and cursed: "I work hard and follow the rules. I finally suppressed a few brothers. I didn't expect to be silent. Here comes another one! Father, hello!"

A man in black stood quietly, and it was the real Yan, who said, "It won't help the prince to get angry again, so it's better to think of countermeasures earlier!"

The prince said angrily, "Then why did Jin Zhaoyi learn Taoism and practice in the Kunxu School, and Master Yan didn't hear anything about it?"

Yan Zhenren came from the Kunxu School, and Jin Zhaoyi also came from the Kunxu School, the crown prince did not believe that the two had no intersection.

Yan Zhenren said: "I have been in the prince's mansion all these years, and I seldom return to the sect. But I have heard of Jin Zhaoyi, he is my nephew, his father is called Jin Tianqing, and he is in the same generation as me. It's just that I never Thinking that he is actually the illegitimate son of Emperor Yu!"

The prince was extremely anxious, and sneered, "It turns out that the Kunxu faction found a cheap father for that fellow! Master Yan, can Jin Zhaoyi get rid of him? If I don't kill this person, I'm not at ease!"

Yan Zhenren said: "It's difficult! Since Jin Zhaoyi has revealed his identity, the sect will definitely send experts to protect him. Besides, I can't make a move. After all, we belong to the same sect, and we can't kill each other. If the sect finds out, I won't end well!"

The prince paced back and forth, only feeling distraught.

Yan Zhenren said: "The crown prince is a fan of the authorities, why do you ask me? You have to enter the palace and ask the queen's will!"

The prince's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands fiercely, and shouted: "That's right! Gu Dang asked the empress what she meant!" The prince is the only son of the current empress. If Jin Zhaoyi's bastard takes the throne, the empress will only be more anxious than the prince and take the lead. After asking the queen's will, I will try something else.

The prince was elated immediately, and shouted: "I will go to the palace immediately to ask the queen mother!"

Yan Zhenren said: "The prince's thinking is wrong! Entering the palace at this time will only arouse the suspicion of Emperor Yu, and it will also make Jin Zhaoyi take precautions. It's better to avoid suspicion!"

The prince said: "Then what should be done!"

Yan Zhenren said: "You can order the Crown Princess..."

The prince rolled his eyes, understood what he meant, and stroked his palm and said: "This is a great plan!" The prince got married very early, and there was still a wife sitting in the mansion, so he immediately went to the backyard, found the princess, and ordered so and so, so and so.

The princess didn't dare to neglect, she hurriedly washed and dressed, called Che Yi, and went to the harem. If the prince wants to see the queen, he must report to the palace first, and then be the district office. But after the princess enters the palace to meet her mother, it is a matter for the female relatives, there is no need to report in advance, only to report afterwards.

When the princess entered the palace, the prince waited anxiously. After waiting for the lights, he waited for the princess to return.

The prince cheered up and greeted him out of the mansion, without caring about anything else, he asked, "What did the queen mother say?"

The princess was a gentle woman, she looked around and said softly: "Your Highness, let's talk after entering the mansion."

The crown prince was full of displeasure, held back his anger, and said: "Okay!" Helping the crown princess into the study, he asked: "What does the queen mother say?"

The Crown Princess took out a jade pendant from her closet, and said: "The queen mother only gave me this jade pendant, and told him to invite Zhenren Yan to come, and you will know the clue."

The crown prince was overjoyed and shouted: "Come here! Invite Master Yan quickly!" He waved to the crown princess and said: "You go!"

The Crown Princess's eyes revealed a mournful look, and she finally said nothing, moved lightly with lotus steps, and went back to the backyard.

A brilliance flashed by, but it was Master Yan who arrived. The prince hurriedly said: "This is the jade pendant given by the queen mother, and it can only be deciphered by real people using spells!"

Master Yan glanced at the jade pendant, nodded and said, "So that's how it is!" With a finger pointing, a beam of brilliance fell on the jade pendant, and the jade pendant trembled, and then a dense air flowed, and a voice came from it.

The prince recognized the voice of the empress, and said: "Prince, my son, why bother to be impatient? This Palace already knows about Jin Zhaoyi, you are the prince, you are justified, and Dayu is orthodox. As long as you don't make mistakes, your father will have no excuse to kill you." Deposed! My son should calm down and deal with the affairs of the court. He will be the crown prince inside and caress the people outside. What does the way of heaven want to talk about, it has sent envoys to Beijing, my son can think for himself, and there must be a clever plan!"

After saying that, the brilliance of the jade pendant was taken away, and it also turned into a piece of dust.

The crown prince was stunned for a long time, then suddenly laughed loudly and said: "What the queen mother said is absolutely true! The child is educated!" The queen means that the position of the crown prince is the foundation of the country. Scrupulous about the work of courtiers, will not lightly talk about the abolition of the establishment. On the contrary, the prince had to be more humble and work together with his ministers, so Emperor Yu would never have the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Yan Zhenren said: "The queen mentioned the matter of Pingtian Dao and the Holy Mother's Church, what does the crown prince think?"

The prince said: "The Church of the Holy Mother and the Tao of Pingtian are the great troubles of the imperial court. Once they beg for surrender and stop fighting, it will be beneficial to the imperial court!"

Yan Zhenren shook his head and said, "Would you really want to stop fighting because of the ambitions of wolves in that generation?"

The prince suddenly bowed to the ground, and said with a serious face: "The queen mother Yizhi, I want my palace to ask the real person's intentions, and I also ask the real person to look at the queen mother and give me more advice!"

Seeing the sincerity of his intentions, Zhenren Yan sighed secretly: "Injustice!" He said: "Prince, please rise up! Yan is only a stranger, since the prince wants to ask, let's talk about it!"

The crown prince rejoiced and said: "I ask the real person to point out the maze, I will listen with all my ears!"

Yan Zhenren said: "There are only two orders of the empress. One is to ask the prince to obey himself, so as not to be deposed by Emperor Yu if he finds out his mistakes. The second is to guide you to Ping Tian Dao and the Holy Mother Church to send envoys to Beijing soon to discuss the matter of stopping the war. .”

The prince said: "I understand that I will guard the palace personally, but what's the problem with the envoys of the Holy Mother and the Pingtian Dao coming to Beijing? At worst, the emperor ordered the palace to receive them!"

Yan Zhenren shook his head and said, "The crown prince only knows one thing but not the other. If Pingtian Dao and the Church of the Holy Mother negotiate peace with the imperial court, most of the credit will fall on Jin Zhaoyi. After all, it was Jin Zhaoyi who invited experts from the Kunxu Sect to resist. The people of Beiman Mountain made Pingtian Dao and the Holy Mother Cult fearful, so they had to sue for peace and stop fighting!"

The prince said bitterly: "That's right! I blame that bastard for being troublesome!"

Yan Zhenren said: "If the two countries are fighting, the envoy will not be killed, but if the envoy from Pingtian Dao and the Holy Mother Sect dies in Yucheng..."

The prince's thoughts flashed, his eyes lit up, he jumped up, his excitement was beyond words, and he shouted: "That's right! That's right! If the envoys of Pingtian Dao and the Holy Mother Sect die in Yucheng, the two cults will never try to negotiate a peace again. We will only attack the border with all our strength! At that time, Jin Zhaoyi's credit will be wiped out!"

Yan Zhenren said: "Not only that, I am afraid that Emperor Yu will force the Kunxu Sect to send another master to help the court deal with Pingtian Dao and the Holy Mother Sect. As long as the two sects are not wiped out, Jin Zhaoyi will have no reason to be crowned prince. , the Crown Prince's throne is extremely secure!"

The prince was overjoyed, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "So that's the case! It turns out that the empress mother meant it! Good! Good! Good!" After calling three good times, his voice suddenly suppressed, and he said dejectedly: "Ping Tian Dao and the Holy Mother's religion are both The envoys sent to the sect of cultivating Taoism must be masters, and if they want to intercept and kill them, where will I go to find these many masters!"

To intercept and kill the masters of Pingtian Dao and the Holy Mother Sect, many masters are needed, and one must be careful not to let the wind leak. The crown prince and the princes have never had any cultivators to serve them. Face, also can't move those arrogant sword cultivators.

Yan Zhenren was also silent, he was from the Kunxu sect, if there was no matter about Jin Zhaoyi, he could let go of his skin and ask his fellow disciples to help him, but with Jin Zhaoyi and Jin Tianqing and his son among them, it would be difficult for him to act, after all Jin Zhaoyi The ancestor of the same line is Ning Xuzi, who is extremely difficult to mess with.

The prince continued: "After all, the Church of the Holy Mother once helped me to become the second soul. If the envoy is intercepted and the Church of the Virgin finds out about it, I'm afraid..."

Yan Zhenren said: "If you decide to do it, you will do it! Only killing the envoys of Ping Tiandao's family is weird and suspicious. As long as this matter is done in a leak-proof manner, we will not be seen through by the Holy Mother Sect!"

The prince said viciously: "Okay! Let's listen to the words of the real man! But where did you recruit those many experts?"

When the two were at a loss, they suddenly heard someone laughing and saying: "Why should the prince worry?"

Master Yan snorted coldly, and shouted: "Who is it!" With a flick of his sleeve, there was a rolling thunder sound surging like a tide, and another cloud of thunder light slashed towards the void!

Master Yan was secretly horrified, the visitor was not kind, when this person opened his mouth, he was surprised that someone had sneaked into the mansion, but as soon as this person made his voice, he let go of Xingzang, naturally there is no need to be polite, just greet him with Yushu Shenlei!

The sound of rolling thunder shook, and a ball of thunder light was only the size of a fist, but it was extremely condensed. It was the Kunxu school's thunder method with the highest supernatural power, Yushu Shenlei! The divine thunder is the Taoist secret method of subjugating demons. Once it is fired, the room will be filled with thunder light, which is extremely loud!

This is because Yan Zhenren is afraid of being in the study, and dare not use his full strength, otherwise the power will increase by several tens of thousands!

The thunder light was like water, flying into the void. Unexpectedly, where the thunder light passed, not only did it not kill the enemy, but was swallowed up by a strange magic power.

Yan Zhenren has been immersed in the method of Yushu Shenlei all his life, and he has controlled the true energy of the sky thunder to the point where he can do whatever he wants. Once he realizes that something is wrong, the remaining thunder light will immediately gather back and reflect himself, not seeking meritorious deeds but seeking no faults.

A cloud of thunderclouds agitated above Master Yan's head, with the intention of thunder growing inside, he warded off all demons, and said coldly: "Where is the demon head, why hide his head and show his tail!" It turned out that he had already realized that the power that devoured the thunder light was a demon gate just now. With the use of mental methods, the person in the dark is naturally a master of magic.

Hearing a chuckle, ripples trembled in the void, and a charming woman appeared, and said with a smile: "You are worthy of being a master student of the Kunxu School, you can find out the little girl's background with just one blow!"

Yan Zhenren's eyes swept up and down, and saw that the woman was extremely beautiful, but she was upright, and she couldn't tell that she was a demon girl, so she said coldly: "Lei Fa is in charge of the cardinal of heaven and earth, and is the nemesis of demons. How can you hide it from your demonic nature?" Me? Tell me, which school of witches are you!"

The woman said seriously: "Zhao Linghan of the Demon Sect, I have seen the Crown Prince and Master Yan!"

Seeing Zhao Linghan's overpowering country and city, the crown prince had already been tempted, but he couldn't help feeling sorry to hear that she was a demon girl, and thought: "You are a beautiful woman, how can you be a thief!"

However, Zhenren Yan's expression changed, and he said: "The Demon Refining Sect? It seems that I have been trapped in the Prince's Mansion all these years, and it is not when the Demon Refining Sect will make a comeback!" He felt vigilant in his heart.

Zhao Linghan said with a smile: "Although my Demon Sect has undergone great changes thousands of years ago, the inheritance has never been broken. Now that the Earth Fire Demon Palace has been revived, and the Demon Lord of the Beginning Demon has revived his demon thoughts, our sect will reappear in the world and rule the way of demons!"

Yan Zhenren said coldly: "Evil does not suppress righteousness. A disorder occurred thousands of years ago in your Demon Sect, which attracted the evil thoughts of the Beginless Demon Lord, and the whole family should be wiped out! There are still inheritances in the world, what a surprise !"

Zhao Linghan said: "The little girl came here with all her sincerity, so why did Master Yan speak so rudely?"

Yan Zhenren sneered and said: "Yan is not talented, but he will not work with the devil! Get out!"

Zhao Linghan said with a smile: "The little girl came to seek the crown prince for discussion, so didn't Master Yan ask the crown prince's intentions?"

Zhenren Yan frowned, and said to the prince: "Prince, the devil is the best at eloquent words, deceiving people's hearts, absolutely unbelievable! In Yan's opinion, we should expel him as soon as possible!"
