Space Cultivation: Rebirth Against the Little Orphan Girl

Chapter 326 It happened for a reason
The rising sun shrouded the entire Diling Kingdom in the morning glow, and the people in the capital also started their busy day.

Matsushita brought his capable men, and the two asked to see Emperor Xuande, and in the name of Priest Ampere, they asked to visit the royal temple and the Mingfa Temple with the longest history in Diling Kingdom.

Elegantly calling it mutual communication, Matsushita said that there are people in Yingzhou Kingdom who believe in Buddha, but they don't know whether their Buddha is the same as that of Emperor Ling Kingdom.

Emperor Xuande waved his hand, and asked Huiming and Juefa to receive them. Matsushita left the palace satisfied and went to discuss the next trip with Priest Ampere.

At this time, the leader of the shadow guards came to see Emperor Xuande. This was the first time that the shadow guards appeared in the daytime. Emperor Xuande frowned slightly, and asked the maids and eunuchs to go down before asking the other party to explain his visit.

"Your Majesty, an unknown person was investigating the capital yesterday."

"Tell me in detail."

"The other party has a team of three, and they are very good at concealment. I discovered it when I was investigating the palace. I followed behind the other party, trying to find out the origin of the other party, but the other party was very cautious. It seemed that someone was following them, so they disbanded on the spot and disappeared. .”

"anything else?"

"While I was following the other party, I also arranged for other shadow guards to search nearby. I found that there were also people in the capital who were investigating. After we found out, they all disappeared."

"Hmph! Don't you have any useful clues?"

"Yes, I fought against one of them. The opponent's martial arts methods are different from those of our Emperor Lingguo. He is more inclined towards assassination and sneak attack. He also smells like the sea. Although he covered it up, I still smelled it."

Emperor Xuande sat on the dragon chair, looked at the shadow guard leader kneeling below, and said:

"You mean the people from Yingzhou Kingdom who visited yesterday?"

"I'm just guessing. Recently, only they are outsiders, and we don't know much about the other party's details."

"Then check, watch them for me, and send a message to the two abbots by the way, they are not allowed to enter any important places in the temple."

"Yes, sir, let's do it now."

After the leader of the shadow guard left, Emperor Xuande summoned Shi Fuqing, the elder of the three dynasties.

The old man was playing with his grandchildren at home, very leisurely. When the emperor summoned him, Shi Lao felt a little nervous. He didn't know where this song came from. Shi Lao's great-grandson had already entered the court and became an official. Came to meet my great-grandfather.

"Zeren, do you know why the emperor summoned you?"

"Zeren doesn't know, but I think it has nothing to do with the government, so you don't have to worry, it's just that the emperor met the leader of the shadow guards in the bedroom this morning."

"Okay, I got it. Find someone to carry me into the palace. I'm already 110 years old. I can't be more energetic than the emperor."

Shi Zeren was stunned for a moment at first, his great-grandfather was always healthy, walking steadily, hearing and eyesight, how could he carry him to see the emperor, he immediately reacted after hearing the second half of the sentence, secretly said: Jiang is still old and spicy.

In this way, Shi Lao was carried into the palace under the escort of his great-grandson. Outside the emperor's meeting hall, Shi Lao tremblingly leaned on a cane and entered the hall with the support of his great-grandson Shi Zeren.

"Chen Shi Fuqing, pay homage to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Shi Lao who announced the slogan was about to bow down, but Emperor Xuande directly avoided his kneeling ceremony and gave him a seat.

"The emperor is kind, I don't know what the emperor needs to do when he summons the old minister today?"

Emperor Xuande looked at Shi Lao who was full of silver hair and beard hanging down to his chest, and said kindly:
"Shi Lao is an important minister of my court, a veteran of the three dynasties. He has dedicated his life to the Emperor Lingguo. He is a person I rely on quite a lot. Recently, he encountered a difficult matter and wanted to hear Shi Lao's opinion."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your attention. I don't know what it is, and it's embarrassing for your Majesty. Maybe this old minister can give you some details."

The conversation got to the point, and Emperor Xuande was unambiguous, and briefly described the discovery of Yingzhou Kingdom and the leader of the shadow guards last night, and finally asked Shi Lao mainly, but he had an impression of Yingzhou Kingdom.

After listening to Emperor Xuande's narration, Shi Fuqing stroked his silver beard and searched carefully in his memory. After half a stick of incense, Shi Lao said while recalling:

"The veteran remembers that more than 200 years ago, a group of people who claimed to be warriors came to the Diling Kingdom. They burned, killed and looted the coast, and seemed to be able to control demons and ghosts. The people along the coast at that time were disturbed."

"They didn't have many people, so they didn't go deep into the capital at that time. They only committed crimes by the seaside. They robbed food, drinking, chewing, gold and silver treasures, and they changed places. They never burned and killed twice in one place, so they have never been arrested. arrive."

"Officials along the coast at that time jointly signed, please play the emperor at that time, and sent troops to strangle them. But they escaped twice after the encirclement and suppression. In the end, a sea woman who was well versed in water skills among the coastal people caught up with the other party's boat and followed them. In three days, I finally found the opponent's lair."

"Many people were killed in that siege, including officers, soldiers and warriors. Seeing that they were invincible, the opponent released a big snake, rescued them, and killed those who participated in the siege."

"The emperor was furious, and he set up a list for the whole world, and summoned able men and strangers to wipe out this gang of bandits."

"In the end, a monk who wandered here uncovered the inscription, and together with the officers and soldiers who went out for the third time, they completely wiped out the group of warriors and subdued the big snake. The monk at that time was the later Mingfa Temple The first generation abbot, Master Mingtai."

When Emperor Xuande heard this, he clenched his hands unconsciously. This time he was careless. It seemed that the other party was not a friendly person, but he was wearing a friendly cloak, and he seemed to have shown his fangs in private.

"Shilao is worthy of being the treasure of my Emperor's Spirit Kingdom. I remember everything from such a long time ago."

"Thank you, the emperor, for your praise. In fact, this matter can also be found in the Emperor Lingguojian, but it will take some time. The reason why the old minister remembers it so clearly is because the ancestor of the old minister married a sea girl. This girl was the one who died at that time. A descendant of an ama who stalked enemy ships."

"I see."

"When I was young, my great-grandmother told this story as a story, and I kept it in my heart. Later, I became an official in the court and worked as a library editor. I went to check it out. Only then did I know that what my great-grandmother told was not fiction, but the truth. what's happening."

Emperor Xuande nodded, summoned his attendants to whisper a few words, and a moment later a group of maidservants filed in, each holding a scroll in their hands.

"Trouble and old, see if the little elephant painted by the painter in the palace is consistent with what your ancestors said."

The maidservants lined up in front of Shi Lao and unfolded the scrolls one by one, Lou Chuan, Matsushita and his followers, and even Priest Ampere were all displayed one by one.

With the support of his great-grandson, Shi Lao approached the scroll, and after reading it carefully, he replied to Emperor Xuande:
"Your Majesty, I'm sure that the envoys from Yingzhou Kingdom are from the same family as the bandits a hundred years ago. Their swords, clothing, and hairstyles are all the same and similar. The demons dress almost the same."

Emperor Xuande didn't ask any more questions, and asked Shi Zeren to send Shi Lao back.

When the old Emperor Xuande sent him off, he dropped his teacup directly, and all the people kneeling on the ground in the hall fell silent, for some reason offended the emperor.

Emperor Xuande was also very annoyed that he actually led wolves into the house. This kind of mistake must not happen to the emperor. Emperor Xuande was pacing back and forth in the hall thinking about the solution.

And Jian Jian, who was far away in the lotus lake, nodded clearly. It turns out that the crux of not waiting to see demons here is here.

Priest Ampere in the boat was sitting quietly, when suddenly a hoarse voice came from his ears:

"Let me out! Let me out!"
