Ascension failed, the system took me away

Forbidden City, Cihang Hall.

This is the residence of the Dharma Master Pudu Cihang, who protects the country.

It’s just that the owner of this place is elusive and rarely shows up.

Only a few young monks stayed there, their eyes were empty like zombies, they continued to chant scriptures and worship Buddha as usual.

I don't know what scripture he was chanting, and I don't know which Buddha he was worshipping.

But on the high platform in the hall, stood a golden statue of Tathagata.

Four figures shrouded in black robes were kneeling below the stage. They were the four guardians under the Imperial Master.

The faint flow of Zen spirit conceals the inhuman nature beneath the black robe.

When ordinary people see them, they will subconsciously ignore the strange appearance and feel as if they are seeing enlightened monks.

The sound of chanting scriptures lingered in the air. These novice monks neither ate nor drank, but chanted mechanically, without sleeping.

Until noon, the Buddha statue on the high platform shone with golden light, and the eyes of the stone and clay sculpture opened, as if it came alive.

A grand and strange heavy voice sounded: "Our Majesty has done something small, you go and deal with it."

"Yes, Imperial Master."

The four Dharma protectors knelt on the ground respectfully and accepted the order in unison.

Afterwards, they left the Cihang Hall and split into two groups, heading towards the Demon Suppression Division and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

A ray of light shot out from the Buddha statue and fell on one of the novice monks who was chanting sutras.

His empty eyes suddenly became bright, and as his pupils flickered, his appearance distorted and he turned into another person.

This person is tall, wearing an exquisite Vimalakirti hat and a gold and white cassock with Buddha's light flowing around him.

The solemn face seemed to be smiling but not smiling. At first glance, he looked like a high-level monk, but there was also a hint of weirdness and disharmony.

This is the incarnation of Pudu Cihang who manifested himself through the body of another. As for his real body, it is not convenient for it to appear at the moment.

He did not use any magic, but ordered his monks to prepare a luxurious sedan chair and head towards the palace.

……

Looking at the monk in a golden and white cassock in front of him, Zhu Youjian had a blank expression on his face.

This was the first time he met the legendary national master Pu Du Ci Hang.

Normally he was like a mysterious dragon that was hard to find, but now he came to me on his own initiative.

"Could it be that he was discovered?"

His mind raced as he wondered where the mistake might have gone, and he felt a little panicked.

But there is also a sense of surprise, because it means that I did the right thing.

However, Pu Du Ci Hang did not make any assassination moves.

With his hands clasped together and a compassionate look on his face, he said in a gentle tone, "Did His Majesty issue an imperial decree?"

Zhu Youjian was shocked when he heard this, "I really found out that Zuo Dao was arrested?"

Although he felt something was not right, he still said calmly: "Do I need to report to the Imperial Master on how I should act?"

"Also, why didn't I see the Imperial Master coming when I ascended the throne?"

Pu Du Ci Hang bowed his head and said Amitabha: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was converting evil spirits at that time to avoid disrupting your Majesty's coronation ceremony, so I couldn't get away."

"Oh, is that so? The Imperial Master is truly devoted to his duties, and I misunderstood him." Zhu Youjian said calmly.

He didn't believe a word of this.

Pu Du Ci Hang didn't care either. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

So he said quickly, "I came here to discuss the matter of appointing a crown prince. Appointing a crown prince can stabilize the court. Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible. I will take my leave now."

After saying this, he left in a hurry without waiting for Zhu Youjian's reaction.

Zhu Youjian felt a little puzzled, but also relieved.

Coming face to face with Pu Du Ci Hang put him under tremendous psychological pressure.

However, he could more or less realize that this evil monk did not seem to dare to attack him directly.

"Is it because of the country's destiny?"

He guessed secretly in his mind, but since he was unfamiliar with the subject of spiritual practice, it was difficult for him to figure out the details.

On the other side, Pu Du Ci Hang left the palace and returned to his mansion.

At this moment, the man sitting in the sedan chair was no longer the image of a senior monk in a golden and white cassock, but had turned back into the appearance of a novice monk.

Pu Du Ci Hang looked at his clasped hands, the flesh and blood had rotted away, revealing the white bones, and the process was still intensifying.

In just a few breaths, the sitting body collapsed like a mountain and turned into a pool of blood, leaving only the red-stained clothes.

A ray of light flew out from it and returned to the golden Buddha statue on the high platform of the main hall.

That's why he rarely goes to the palace.

After all, it is a monster. The closer it is to the center of national destiny, the greater the pressure it will feel. Even the blessing of the position of National Master cannot withstand it.

He could still stay for a while by borrowing the human race's incarnation, but if he went there in person, it would cause violent turmoil and the risk of revealing himself would greatly increase.

His plans all depend on the fate of this dynasty, so he shouldn't expose his true identity in broad daylight.

He went to see the emperor this time because he noticed that the trajectory of the country's destiny had changed.

According to past experience, this phenomenon would only occur when the emperor issued an order.

The imperial edict represents the emperor's will, and his words and actions will affect changes in the entire country.

This change can be big or small. It may have little impact, or it may cause a big incident.

Pu Du Ci Hang originally wanted to find out what the content of the imperial edict was.

However, I didn’t expect that this incarnation had such a short battery life, so I had to leave in a hurry.

Although the goal was not achieved, it doesn’t matter.

It is useless to just write down the imperial edict; it must be published and announced to the world.

In the past, the emperor’s imperial edicts could not leave the palace at all, because the people who delivered the edicts were all his people.

But the new emperor used some clever tricks and successfully got the imperial edict out of the palace and out of the Forbidden City.

He has already sent his men to intercept the person who delivered the imperial edict.

If the will is beneficial to your plan, let that person go.

If there is any adverse impact, kill them directly and bury the imperial edict.

However, he could not let his men take direct action in this pursuit.

As long as he holds an official position and carries an imperial edict, he will be protected by the fate of the dynasty and it will be difficult for ordinary demons and evil spirits to interfere directly.

The Demon-Suppressing Guard who had intended to expose him was demoted through official means and lost the protection of the country, so he was hunted down.

But he didn't expect that the man was quite powerful and escaped and was at large.

Now they are still raising the banner of rebellion in the southeastern coastal areas, causing changes in the country's destiny and disrupting his plans.

Now, the person who delivers the imperial edict cannot be demoted in this way.

Because conveying the imperial edict is equivalent to the emperor's personal authorization, no one else has the right to demote him, only the emperor can speak.

But obviously the emperor would not do that.

So Pu Du Ci Hang asked his men to drive the Demon Suppression Division and the Embroidered Uniform Guard to do it.

These guys are not monsters, they are all human beings. It is an internal fight and the protection of national destiny is of no use.

Moreover, the Demon Suppression Division has many talented people, and with the Jinyiwei's intelligence network spread all over the world, it is very easy to track down the target.

It would be easy for the armed forces of two imperial courts to deal with one person.

Even if you are very skilled in martial arts, can two fists really defeat hundreds or thousands of hands?

It's just a small matter, it's settled.

Pu Du Ci Hang did not pay much attention to this matter, his focus was on his own plans.

After years of trying, I finally got this godsend opportunity that no one could have imagined.

As long as he succeeds, he, Pu Du Ci Hang, will be invincible in the world.

Even the sky is within reach.
