Translator: 549690339
The next day, there was still some time before the new year.
The dogfight between Sir Bi and Eunuch Mei yesterday was a warning to the others, so no one dared to act rashly. They all curled up and withdrew their subordinates.
As a result, the rioters disappeared, and the streets of the Imperial City welcomed peace for the first time. There was less scolding and more mutual assistance. There was less chaos and more order.
After dawn, the snow started to fall again.
In the snow, a fast horse stepped through the south gate and entered the Imperial City.
The rider rushed into the palace with an imperial edict.
Seventh Prince, Xia Ji, accept the edict! ”
The voice rang out in the hall, but no one answered after a long time.
After a long while, a eunuch came over. ” His Highness is at the edge of
Huaqing Lake. Come with me. ‘
The person who announced the decree did not say much. He followed the eunuch to the lakeside on the east side. In a small pavilion at the four corners, a young prince in loose black clothes was holding a carving knife and carving prayer beads. Beside him sat a very short, but extremely beautiful, charming palace maid.
The palace maid was looking at His Highness resentfully?
However, His Highness did not care about the palace maid at all. His entire body was filled with a strange Zen aura. This Zen aura caused his entire body to fuse with the wind and snow. He was carving with the carving knife in his hand.
The wind and snow grew heavier, like thousands of white pythons swimming around the palace, but he was extremely quiet, especially his hands that were extremely steady and fast.
The wooden beads were produced from his hand one by one and then put into the box. At this moment, there were already many wooden beads in the box.
He calmed down. Since it was difficult to open the Divine Gate, he would search for the strange book.
After piling up thousands of mountains and moving the mountains and soil, he did not believe that he could not reach the sky. If he could not, then it was not high enough!
While strengthening the magic tool,
Since the 108 prayer beads carved with the Tathagata Dhyana could turn into a 100-foot-long golden Buddha palm, then he needed to make 1,080 prayer beads now.
Originally, he would be extremely tired after making twenty to thirty pills in one go. However, because of the two great gains in Thunder Sound Temple, his limit had increased. Now, he could carve forty to fifty pills at a time.
1,080 grains represented 108 of the Ten Dharma Realms. The Ten Dharma Realms referred to the realms of confusion and enlightenment. They were divided into hell, evil spirits, beasts, Shura, the human world, heaven, sound, fate, Bodhisattva, and Buddha. They were the realms of confusion for ordinary people and the realms of enlightenment for saints.
Xia Ji stopped when he sensed someone approaching. He turned to look at the imperial guard and the imperial edict in his hand. “”Read it.”
Only then did the Imperial Army soldier come to his senses. He was surprised to find that he was not dissatisfied at all. Although his hair had been dyed white by the wind and snow, just looking at this prince made him feel calm and peaceful.
Thinking back to the great things that this prince had done in the Imperial Capital these days, this Imperial Army expert was almost unable to connect those things to the prince before him.
However, he still unfolded the imperial edict and began to recite it.
“The Emperor has decreed that the Seventh Prince Xia Ji did not disappoint me and defended the Imperial City. This is a merit, but he caused trouble in the Imperial Palace and ignored the rules. This is a sin, and the merits and demerits offset each other.
The people in the city are lonely and have no one to rely on. The prince does not want to appease them, but suddenly rises up and punishes them with a thousand cuts. This is an atrocity that leads to chaos. I hereby remove him from the post of Grand Marshal of the world’s military forces. If you sincerely repent, when I return, you will carry a thorn in front of the city to beg for forgiveness.
I’m honored.”
After the imperial edict was read, the Imperial Army expert looked at the prince in the pavilion and couldn’t help but show some sympathy. He didn’t know anything about fate. He only felt that the prince in front of him was very pitiful. He had clearly defended the Imperial City, but now the emperor not only wanted to deprive him of his credit, but also put all the blame for the riot in the Imperial City on him, making him a venting point for the refugees. Then the emperor would come back to clean up the Imperial City and win the hearts of the people.
However, what could this prince do?
The courage of an individual could not completely surpass the group. In the past, the six-armed Asura King, who had the strength of a god, rebelled with the Red King. After his defeat, the six-armed Asura King was unforgivable for killing too many people, so he began to flee. During this period, the Asura King killed more than ten thousand pursuers, but in the end, he was killed in his sleep. The person who killed him was just a nobody in the Jianghu. It was because at that time, King Xiu Luo was already exhausted. A poisoned knife pierced through his eyes.lt stabbed into his face and pierced through his brain.
Although the Seventh Prince was brave, he was still inferior to the god-like Six-armed Asura King. He had no other choice. Even if he was angry, there was nothing he could do.
If he was a general, he might be able to enter the military after some training and become a powerful general. However, he was a prince and was born into an emperor’s family. Was he lucky or unlucky? “Your Highness, please accept the edict.”
“No,” Xia Ji said calmly.
The Imperial Army experts who announced the decree and the eunuchs who led the way were dumbfounded.
These two simple words shocked the two of them so much that they didn’t know how to react.
They had never seen anyone who refused to accept the imperial edict.
“Seventh Highness, His Majesty has already stationed 500,000 troops in the south. Many capable people have come to join him. They were originally prepared to counterattack Guifang and take back the Imperial City.”
Now that His Highness had defended the Imperial City, His Majesty had sent General Nangong He to lead 30,000 vanguard troops into the Imperial City to stabilize the situation. There were still three days before the Imperial City arrived…You should accept the edict.”
” Ask him, ” Xia Ji said. ” If I go to the city gate and beg for forgiveness, will he dare to come and see me? ”
The Imperial Army expert fell silent.
The eunuch was also drenched in cold sweat. He had not expected His Highness to be so brave.
“Seventh Highness, if the emperor asks why, what should I say?”
“You may leave,” Xia Ji said.
If the emperor still asked for the reason, then he wouldn’t be the emperor. He had already pulled out all the favors and had no gratitude at all. Moreover, the death of his mother was definitely related to him. What was the point of asking?
“Yes, Your Highness.”
The Imperial Army expert grabbed the imperial edict and left, then rode out of the city.
The lakeside of Huaqing Lake regained its peace.
Hu Xian ‘er, who had been forced into a winter outfit, looked at Xia Ji strangely.
” I didn’t expect you to be so tough. I just don’t know how long you can last. ”
“Speak properly.”
Hu Xian Er: ” What are you talking about? I’m already yours. Why don’t you…” Xia Ji’s expression changed as he prepared to punish him.
Hu Xian Er hurriedly covered her head and screamed,””No, no, no! Ah
When the eunuchs, guards, and palace maids in the distance heard this mysterious voice, they hurriedly ran far away, not daring to listen carefully.
“Old fox, stop pretending.”
“The older a fox spirit is, the better their martial arts. Master, do vou want to give it a try? If you don’t want to try, let me go. If you let me go, I won’t bother you anymore.”
“Shut up.”
After saying this, Xia Ji continued to carve wooden beads. It did not take much effort to carve wooden beads. Then, he began to make prayer beads with Tathagata Dhyana.
Powerful mental power condensed on the surface of the wooden bead through the interaction method of Tathagata Zen. The golden liquid appeared on its own, and the dragon swam until it left a deep swastika on the wooden surface.
After making a prayer bead, he took another one.
One after another, without stopping.
Hu Xian ‘er, who was about to say something else, stared at this scene with her mouth agape. She had already understood. This young prince was actually making magic tools, and he was making them so quickly?
What did he think a magic tool was?
Was it that easy to create a magic tool?
The old fox could not help but fall silent again..
