Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

The two sat down in a corner of the dumpling shop. Since the lunch hour was over, they were the only customers in the shop. After ordering two bowls of dumplings and a mutton pot, Long Ying said, "You only talk about Li Dan, but you don't mention Zhongzong, are you not worried that he will be assassinated?" Wan Renyu said: "Of course he is the one who is most worried, but since Li Xian was demoted to Fangzhou, our Guanzhong Sword Sect took the lead, and all the famous sects in the world who supported Li Tang secretly formed a "Li Protecting Group" and dispatched Elite masters take turns to be on duty at the Luling Palace, and each term is one year. Therefore, at any one time, there are no less than 30 masters protecting him, many of whom are veteran-level masters, and the Luling King is still safe and sound today."

Long Ying said: "What kind of person is he?" The dumplings and meat pot were served at the same time. After the waiter left, the two chatted while eating. Wan Renyu said: "It doesn't matter what kind of person Zhongzong is. The most important thing is his concubine Wei Shi, who is strong and decisive. Back then we proposed to Li Xian to protect him, but Li Xian was afraid of offending Wu Zhao, so he refused Accept it, thanks to Webster's persuasion." Long Ying said: "Wu Zhao isn't unhappy?" Wan Renyu sneered and said, "So what if you're not happy? Whether Xu Jingye raises troops or foreigners invade, they all use the banner of Kuangfu Luling King, and Li Xian is the symbol of Li Tang. If Wu Zhao executes Li Xian, the world will be in chaos immediately. Don't you think she doesn't know? Sigh! Speaking of which, as the crown prince, Li Dan suffered even worse."

Long Ying said: "I met him once at the state banquet for the Tubo envoys, did Wu Zhao treat his son badly?" Wan Renyu said: "It's not bad, it's just that he is not considered a human being at all. First of all, he is not allowed to step out of the palace gate, and an order is made to expressly state that without her consent, no ministers and ministers are allowed to meet Li Dan in private. While we were not in Shendu, the former Shangfang supervisor Pei Gang and the internal servant Fan Yunxian went to visit Li Dan in private without permission, but Wu Zhao ordered him to be killed in the city, do you think anyone dares to see Li Dan?"

Long Ying said: "Didn't you join hands with Li Dan's son Li Longji to watch the decisive battle between me and Xue Huaiyi that night?" Wan Renyu said: "Li Longji is a very special person. He is courageous and strategic. He is the person who is most qualified to be emperor in my heart. He deliberately tested Wu Zhao that night, because he was still in the imperial city Therefore, Wu Zhao opened one eye and closed the other, but since Wu Zhao beheaded Pei Gang and Fan Yunxian, Li Dan, who was terrified, restrained his children and was not allowed to step out of the East Palace.

Long Ying said sympathetically, "What's the difference between that and being imprisoned?" Wan Renyu said: "The only difference is that you don't know when you will be executed. It's really meaningless for a human being to do this." Long Ying said: "I finally understand why you are so dissatisfied with Wu Zhao." Wan Renyu said: "I am now for Li Tang's world. As long as Li Xian is established as the crown prince again, it will represent a complete failure for the Wu family's children. Li Dan is a person who is happy with his life and has no ambitions. He should be happy to be the emperor. The position of heir will be returned to the elder brother."

He asked again: "Are you full? Where are you going after breaking up?" Long Ying said: "I will go to Min Xuanqing's Rushi Garden for a while." Wan Renyu stood up and said: "Turning around? You are really romantic. Unless you have the ability to separate yourself, one day you will not be able to handle it. No wonder I didn't warn you in advance." The two paid the bill and left, broke up outside the dumpling shop and went their separate ways. Longying strolled through the streets with mixed feelings in his heart. After listening to Wan Renyu's words about Li Xian and Li Dan, his heart became heavy.How could Wu Zhao treat her own son like this?Can't help but remember the words of Fat Gonggong still ringing in his ears, that powerful women in the palace are not normal.

So is Wu Zhao, so is Princess Taiping.It seems that the beautiful and talented Shangguan Wan'er is not much better, although she has not yet noticed her shortcomings.Regardless of Princess Taiping or Shangguan Wan'er, if you play with them, you don't have to take responsibility, and you don't even think they will marry you.The same is true for Min Xuanqing.I don't know if this kid Feng Guoting has a relationship with her, and there will be no result if I ask, because this kid keeps secret about this aspect, but he obviously doesn't mind that he has a hand with Min Nuguan.

Thoughts turned to the little witch.He has always been in a playful mood towards this beautiful girl who covers the city of God, but now he has become popular and it is becoming more and more difficult to resist her amazing allure.But how could he think that asking her to marry him offhandedly seems to have untied the entanglement of her wanting to follow him in the rivers and lakes, otherwise how could he slip away like running for his life at this critical moment? He also thought of the beauty in Huajian thousands of miles away, besides Duanmu Ling and Renya, she was the beauty he fell in love with at first sight, and even the first time he saw her, he made up his mind to marry her.But it seems that she will not marry herself, nor will she marry anyone.

Duanmu Ling has a special status, but no matter what, he wants to get her, which is doomed from the beginning. When he was engrossed in his thoughts, he suddenly realized that he stopped and stood still. A carriage, supported by the front and back, drove up and stopped beside him. The curtains of the carriage were lifted, revealing the bright and beautiful face of Princess Taiping. boarding!" The prodigal and beautiful princess is back again, dressed up, her whole body is fragrant, and under the background of jewels, she is radiant, hot, and gorgeous. Seeing Long Ying sitting down beside her, he took the initiative to lean against her, kissed him heavily on the cheek, and said with a smile: "You son of a bitch attacked this hall this morning, which made people feel bitter and happy, so I will settle down later." I want to settle accounts with you."

The carriage started slowly and continued its journey. Long Ying deliberately teased her, and said with a smile: "It's better to bump into the sun than to choose the day, and it's better to meet each other by chance. Why don't we have a decisive battle in Xiangche and see who begs for mercy?" Princess Taiping stretched out her hand and squeezed his thigh hard, causing him to groan in pain, and said happily: "Knowing that he can't do it now, but to say such a thing, we can see how hateful you are. What kind of tricks did you use this morning?" , so that Ge Yu made a fool of himself on the spot, and King Wei was ashamed? Who can beat you? Now that Feng Guoting is with you, Lord Ying is not what he used to be!"

Long Ying knew that she had deliberately turned away so that he would not ask who he was going to meet in the carriage now, so he stretched himself and said, "What's wrong? It just depends on whether you are willing. Oh! I'm wrong, it depends on me I want you, I want you, which round will you refuse?" Princess Taiping was taken aback, she sat back a little, and said angrily: "No wonder some people say you are a bully in Miyagi, how can such a thing happen so violently!" Longying looked at her carefully, and said with a grinning face: "It's fun to come here, I haven't seen you for a few months, the princess seems to be afraid of me. Knowing that I have come back from a long way, I don't obediently wait for my favor in Tao Guangyuan." Princess Taiping smiled coquettishly, gave him a coquettish look, and said, "Favorite? Do you think you are the emperor?" Long Ying shrugged and said: "I am an out-and-out evil emperor. If you don't believe me, you can ask the princess's mother, if I have exceeded the mark?" Princess Taiping didn't know what to think of, she lowered her head shyly, and said in a gnat-like voice: "I really want to accompany you tonight, but this dinner was made three days ago, I tried to push it but I can't. Come to blame others, but leave like a yellow crane, so tired that people don't think about eating and drinking for several days." Long Ying went on, imitating her tone and saying: "But in a few days, he will revert to his old self!" Princess Taiping is coquettish and reluctant. Long Ying felt his heart itch when he saw it, and said: "Forget it! I don't care about you for half a night, so what about tomorrow night?" Princess Taiping smiled wryly and said, "You finally asked the question that people are most afraid of. Alas! I have promised to go to Shendu Garden with others, and I have already made an appointment." Longying understood that Fu Junhou knew that he would return to Shendu in the next few days, so he arranged the date with Princess Taiping tightly and kept him out of the game. He really can't blame Princess Taiping, Fu Junhou is a person with extraordinary charm, and Zhang's Kunzhong is going through the needles to make arrangements deliberately, and Princess Taiping is a prodigal girl, it is a miracle not to be taken advantage of by Fu Junhou. Long Ying pointedly said: "Okay! Let's talk about it after the princess has had enough fun!" Princess Taiping leaned close to him and said, "Are you really not angry?" Long Ying said calmly: "What's there to be angry about? I said earlier that I don't care about your business, and you can do whatever you like." The carriage stopped. Longying looked out and said, "Isn't it Fanghua Pavilion?" Princess Taiping said: "The banquet will be held here." Someone pulled the carriage and knew that Long Ying was in the car, and said with a smile: "Brother Long will not attend our banquet tonight. Ha! No one welcomes you, it's rare to have a chance to toast with Brother Long." How could Princess Taiping think that Fu Junhou would wait for her at the carriage and horse farm outside the pavilion, and she was in a turmoil and speechless for a while. Long Ying was stunned, knowing that he sensed his coming, he suddenly made a higher evaluation of him.Stepping off the carriage, he said with a smile: "Brother Fu's kindness is appreciated, but it's a pity that my younger brother has other important matters. Are you afraid that you won't have a chance if you want to get close?" Fu Junhou reached out his hand gracefully to let the beautiful woman with golden branches and jade leaves get off the car, and said, "Yes! Yes! As long as Brother Long doesn't leave Shendu, are you afraid that there will be no chance?" Princess Taiping stood beside Fu Junhou, her pretty face paled. Fu Junhou leaned over and asked concerned: "Is Your Highness uncomfortable?" Princess Taiping was even more embarrassed, she peeked at Longying and shook her head. Long Ying couldn't bear to see it, and saluted: "Brother Fu and the princess have more fun, forgive me, brother!" The speaker had no intention, but the listener had intention, Princess Taiping bowed her head sadly.Fu Junhou also showed a strange expression, as if he was wondering why Long Ying was taken away by himself, but he still seemed to be a normal person. Long Ying no longer perfunctory his interest, Shi Li left.Stepping out of the main gate of Fanghua Pavilion, I suddenly thought of Song Yanzhi, hurriedly unfolded my movements, left the street, and groped in the direction of Changxia Gate. With his supernatural powers, even if someone was following him all the time, he would definitely leave him behind. . Originally, I came here yesterday, and I should have a better chance of receiving new news every few days, but anyway, I was on the way, and I was eager to get more information about Da Jianglian, so I simply tried my luck. Not long after arriving at the Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara Temple, after seeing clearly that there were no suspects, he deliberately entered the temple again, and then turned out from the backyard wall, then sneaked into the old locust tree forest, found the big tree, uncovered the bark, and was overjoyed at once, but Secretly surprised again. The tree body is engraved with the time and place of meeting, as long as you add or subtract according to the agreement, it is the real time and place. He made an appointment with Song Yanzhi not to meet unless the situation was urgent.The time and place in front of you means that there is a situation where you have to meet. He reached out to erase the lettering on the tree, drew a big square frame, added a diagonal drawing on the lower right side of the frame, expressing that he would attend the meeting on time, and then pasted the bark back to its original place. At this moment, he sensed that someone was rushing toward the pagoda tree forest in the distance, and instantly recognized who was coming from the person's somewhat erratic and unpredictable characteristics.With his boldness and fearlessness, he was really taken aback.He hurriedly left from the other side of the pagoda tree forest, then walked eastward, and arrived at Xingjiaofang, where the houses are densely packed, Fang felt relieved and secretly called luck at the same time. What he sensed just now was the cold tongue of the monk Wang Faming, who was ranked second among the four disciples of Dharma protectors.If I guessed correctly, I have been under the surveillance of the enemy since I left the palace gate.Just because Wan Renyu, a world-shattering swordsman, walked with him, the enemy couldn't attack. Those who come are not good, and those who are kind do not come. If the enemy came to kill him, the evil emperor, he must have gathered enough power to kill him, and he would not have any chance.In this way, the four guardians are bound to gather together, and it is not easy to deal with the cold tongue, let alone the other three? And there is a great possibility that King Fa Ming will also come in person. While this idea was still lingering in his mind, he had the spiritual feeling of being followed again. He didn't care about attracting people's attention, he flashed left into the alley, and stood up straight from the ground. Just as he stepped on the edge of the tile eaves, a group of colorful shadows shot up into the sky from the tiled surface two rooms away from the house in the setting sun, and cast towards his position. , He was not given the chance to think at all, regardless of the time, angle and principle, it is definitely the demeanor of a top-level master.Be it anyone else, even if they are as brilliant as Wan Renyu or Feng Guoting, they have no other choice but to draw their swords and sacrifice their swords to fight.And once you are entangled to death by the opponent, other enemies will swarm in, forming a siege situation where the crowd bullies the few. The hostess of Caiying is a young and beautiful woman wearing a colorful Taoist robe, who comes from the sky. What's terrible is that she doesn't seem to be wearing any clothes in her spacious Taoist robe. very tempting.As long as it is a normal man, he will be dazzled and his vigilance will be greatly weakened. You don't need to guess to know that she is Princess Taiping's master, Sanzhen Miaozi, and one of the four disciples of monk Wang Faming. At this critical moment when life and death hang in the balance, Long Ying, who has boarded the Demon Extreme Realm, has taken control of the overall situation.Yang Tong Leng is chasing from behind, and the next moment will block him from retreating.There are masters on the left and right, all of them are tyrannical, and they are under the coldness of Sanzhen Miaozi and Yang Tongue.The four major disciples came in full force, determined to take his life. However, no matter how good their martial arts are, how perfect their tactics are, and how precise and sharp their hand-to-hand might is, they owe the spiritual response of the Dragon Eagle Demon Seed. Just like in the country of the blind, the one-eyed dragon can be king. It is the difference between "with eyes" and "without eyes", that Longying's "mind eyes" from the demon species distinguishes him from these four top-level masters.Longying is just a master at another spiritual level. Without the slightest hesitation, he stepped on the edge of the eaves and rushed to the top of the gable roof on the tile slope. With his feet on the roof, he bent his knees and leaned forward, using both feet hard, like a man ejected from a trebuchet, towards Sanzhen. Miaozi punched through the air, and punched the beautiful Taoist nun fiercely. Sanzhen Miaozi didn't expect him to be so tyrannical, his beauty paled, two ribbons shot out from the sleeves of his robe like a poisonous snake spewing out letters, and met Long Ying's punch. Longying's demon spirit should cover the sky and the earth, sensing the sheep's tongue cold behind him, he just jumped up and rushed over in the air.The people on both sides rushed to the rear of Sanzhen Taeko, and became able to intercept themselves from the front, because they believed that he could pass Sanma Taeko's level. Nothing moves. Longying laughed and said, "You have been tricked!" "boom!" The fist-strength ribbons clash head-on, and the ribbons suddenly become wavy. Sanzhen Miaozi throws back in response to the fist, and the legs of the robe are lifted, revealing the snow-white plump and beautiful legs, and the spring is endless. Longying was beyond everyone's expectations, using the strength of the counter-shock to roll in the opposite direction, came to the top of the chasing Yang Tong Leng, and laughed loudly: "Second Master Uncle, hello!" Chop off with a palm on the head. Yang Tong Leng has just risen to the highest point, his momentum is old, and he was caught off guard, let him surpass the sky, under the ingenious situation concocted by Long Ying, knowing that he was fooled, he had no choice but to clenched his fists and stretched up obliquely, Hit Long Ying's hand knife that locked him in a deadlock. "boom!" The goat's tongue was cold as if struck by lightning, and it fell straight through, through the tiled roof, into the house of some unfortunate family. Long Ying used his strength to accelerate and toss backwards, and fell to the distant house seven or eight rooms away, and then disappeared behind the house, everyone knew that he had lost him. Longying made a big circle, returned to the main street of Lifang, and walked in the direction of Rushi Garden with ease.My heart is screaming.If it had been changed to the plain just now, although he might still be able to break through and escape with the demon seed, it would definitely be much more difficult. The sound of Yishui flowing came from the front. After passing through Lifang, it suddenly opened up. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, a stone arch bridge with a length of 100 steps crossed to the opposite bank peacefully. Flowing under the bridge, there are weeping poplars on both sides, which is as beautiful as a picture scroll. Longying climbed the bridge leisurely, came to the vault, stood still proudly, and said with a long smile: "Monk Wang Fajia is here in person, why don't you show up and meet?" At this moment, Long Ying is most grateful to Dan Qingzi. The palm that Dan Qingzi hit Faming must have hurt him badly, and he still hasn't recovered.Dan Qingzi's status in Taoism is comparable to that of Concubine Xuan in Buddhism, even if his martial arts is not as good as Concubine Xuan's, it is not much different. Therefore, although Fa Ming won the "Supreme Wisdom Sutra", he paid a heavy price. That night when he faced Wu Zhao, he was humble and obedient, but he didn't dare to make a move because of his injuries, and he covered up his flaws so well that he managed to hide it from Wu Zhao and him.But now to intercept him, he had to use all his strengths, so he was able to hide on the other side of the arch bridge first, and wait for him to step into the trap, thus causing internal injuries and showing undue flaws, although it was only a moment, it was enough Long Ying gave birth to a feeling. Being vigilant on the bridge and being intercepted outside the bridge is the difference between life and death.Because of the supernatural power of the demon species, this stone arch bridge, which is no more than a hundred feet long and only half a foot wide, is exactly his life-saving talisman. Long Ying wished that if he could escape, he would immediately report Fa Ming's injury to Wu Zhao, and Wu Zhao would immediately kill him and go to Jingnian Temple to take Fa Ming's life.The problem is that without Fa Ming, his use value to Wu Zhao will be greatly reduced, so if he is smart enough, Fa Ming stretches his neck and allows him to behead him, and he must not do this. Faming appeared at the other end of the arch bridge, but he didn't know what to do. He came to a place about ten feet in front of him and stood still. His sharp eyes aimed at him like two sharp arrows, and he joined his palms together and said, "Intellect without leaks is inherently self-sufficient and pure. There is no false practice. It is a Buddha or a demon, so what is the difference? The evil emperor, you enter the demon from the Tao, and the law enters the Buddha from the demon. To be able to wake up from Wu Zhao's dream of Huairou with no good intentions, and to point out the truth, Faming is willing to help you replace Wu Zhao with all his strength. From now on, the Demon Sect will truly unify the world and the rivers and lakes, unlike Wu Zhao who still has to fight every day Worrying about how to continue her Wu Dynasty." Long Ying said calmly: "If the Monk King really had this intention, he wouldn't greet me with an ambush. Now that you're talking so much nonsense, it's just a matter of delaying the time so that you can summon the four disciples who protect the Dharma and complete the encirclement. Humph! Mountains cannot hide two tigers, I am the evil emperor, you are another evil king, and Duanmu Ling only has one, so is there any room for us to cooperate?" Faming sighed and said: "The Taoist tree blooms, and the Zen forest produces fruit. The eternal sky is full of wind and moon. The evil emperor can see clearly, but there is one thing that the evil emperor still can't see. Wait for this monk king to wake you up. You are alive." Out of season." With the demonic energy accumulated to the peak, Long Ying shot through his fingers and directly attacked Fa Ming. His movements were done in one go, and he suddenly completed changes such as jumping forward, raising his hand, poking his finger, and locking.As long as Faming can be left behind, he can attack wildly, deepen his old wounds, and prolong his recovery period. Fa Ming showed a solemn and precious appearance, with the demeanor of an eminent monk, his shoulders swayed from side to side, producing positive and negative forces, forcibly tearing apart the energy field that Long Ying used to lock him up. Longying had already overestimated him as much as possible, but he didn't expect Faming to be more powerful than he imagined. Knowing that no matter how hard it is to stop him from retreating, Longying did his best to keep his pointing and attacking style unchanged, while following the forward momentum, Longying kicked him in the lower abdomen with a flying kick, making him overwhelmed. Fa Mingjin has entered a strange realm that he can't grasp, like Zen is not Zen, if a demon is not a demon, his eyes are drawn down and guarded inside, one palm is closed, the other palm is still standing on his chest, trembling and swinging, his speed is extremely fast , giving people the illusion of seven or eight palm shadows, as subtle as a god, sealing off all possible changes of the dragon eagle finger attack. At this point, Long Yingfang understood how precious it was for Dan Qingzi to slap him.Understand why the five eminent monks can't do anything to him, and they can't trap him, and they have to pass away within a hundred days one by one.Even with Wu Zhao's unrivaled magic skills, he didn't want to see the truth with him. Long Ying's fingertips hit Allah in the shadow of heavy palms, and the highly concentrated magic energy disappeared without a trace like a mud cow into the sea, and was pushed to both sides by him. Although this kind of palm technique is still not as good as the "Bi Shan Sword Art" Subtle, but the same approach but the same result, almost the same. "boom!" Faming's palm pressed down, firmly and forcefully with Long Ying's kick.Long Ying's whole body trembled violently, his blood was surging, Fa Ming just frowned, obviously his skills were more than a little deeper than Long Ying's. Longying was in a bad mood, and with the peculiarity of the demon species, the moment he retracted his fingers, he suppressed the churning blood and regained his footing. Faming had already tilted his vertical palm towards the back of his hand, and just buried his elbow and pushed Coming over, the edge of the palm follows the strange asynchrony of the foot pedal, cutting towards Longying's throat like a shadow. Long Ying felt that Fa Ming's palms kept expanding and filled the sky and the earth, and knew that it was a powerful Zen method, and it was even his own miraculous skill of combining magic with Buddha. However, he is at the level of the devil, but he is not confused by the visions he sees.Withdrawing his feet and taking half a step back, he laughed and said, "The Unbroken King Kong is really extraordinary." Fa Ming didn't expect that he could still speak calmly in such a tense situation, with surprise in his eyes, and he couldn't guess how he would deal with his "Ten Demon-Buddha Forms".
