Chapter Seventeen: Zhen Zhen
Chapter 17
Bai Qi ignored Princess Yuzhen's summons, and he was just trying to see the monk. However, the monks in Honglian Temple were very powerful. Otherwise, the wet nurse would have directly destroyed Honglian Temple. Bai Qi did not dare to cause trouble, so he could only endure it in the backyard.
The eunuch who was sending the message outside did not see Bai Qi, but was pushed back. He was angry and wanted to make a fuss. Then he thought of the 19th prince being beaten, so he could only swallow his anger and leave the Duke Yu's mansion.
Bai Qi's temper doesn't look very good. The prince was just beaten. If he had a fuss, he would probably lose his head.
The eunuch left in a panic. It took half an hour for Duke Yu of Bai Jian to appear in the living room of Bai Mansion. In the living room, a tall monk sat there steadily, not in a hurry at all. The monk was wearing a crimson cassock, leaning against a nine-foot-high Zen stick, and a string of rosary beads in his hand, and nothing else was left.
Bai Jian saw that the monk was born with a handsome appearance, without any evil spirit, and even the common compassion among monks. Instead, he had a kind of aura of righteousness as a scholar. Bai Jian was surprised. When the monk saw Bai Jian coming, he stood up and put himself together, saying, "Little Monk Luo, I have seen the prince."
"Oh? Master doesn't have a magic number?" Bai Jian was surprised.
"My Red Lotus Pure Land Sect can use the names of laymen and not forget the fundamental meaning even if I become a monk."
"Master, sit and watch the tea." Bai Jian was much more polite.
There were many ways to cook tea in the Great Jin Dynasty. Bai Jian didn’t pay much attention to it. He just used fragrant slices and took well water to cook a pot of ordinary tea for Luo Jiang.
"Master is here, why are you doing?" Bai Jian didn't waste much time on the monk, so he went straight to the point. The emperor had to continue doing things, and formed the new Yulin Army to deal with the zombies outside the city. This matter could not be delayed. Several princes returned to Jinling, and the army in the south of the city had mobilized more than a thousand people to the Qin King's Mausoleum and returned in disgrace.
Among the new Yulin Army, there are already Qi Refining Equipment provided by the National Army, which makes it more certain to kill zombies.
General Luo said frankly: "Mr., the little monk came here because he was entrusted by his master. A large number of evil things appeared in the Qin King's Mausoleum northwest of Jinling. The Red Lotus Pure Land Sect is willing to help the Master and clean up the situation."
"Haha." Bai Jian did not answer, but raised the tea cup and slowly started drinking tea.
"There are six major sects in the Middle Land Buddhism. The Red Lotus Pure Land Sect practices this life and does not expect the next life. If you are liberated, your body is in the Pure Land. Don't doubt it, this matter is very beneficial to our Red Lotus Pure Land Sect.
"The master said it more clearly."
"Zombies are natural creatures. If they can be captured and removed from corpse poison, they will be Buddhist guardians."
"So, the Honglian Pure Land Sect knew about the zombies in the Qin King's Tomb?" Bai Jian said carelessly. However, he thought to himself that these Qi Refiners deserved to die. Such a terrifying thing appeared, but he only showed up to seek credit when he was in urgent need of manpower. If the zombies were spread out, the hinterland of the Great Jin Dynasty would be eroded.
Luo Jiang smiled and said, "Young Master, don't be angry. A monk from the Red Lotus Pure Land Sect had already reported this matter, but it didn't attract attention. So Honglian Temple had to summon fellow workers and rush to the capital, hoping to solve the problem with its own strength. However, the young monk heard that there was a chaos in the Qin King's Mausoleum last night. I guess someone was willing to believe this zombie's presence now, so he came to see you."
The evil spirit on Bai Jian's eyebrows dissipated and he smiled and said, "That's why I blamed you wrongly."
"Don't dare." General Luo still looked peaceful.
"I don't believe in Qi Refiner. When I returned home today, I was assassinated by a Qi Refiner. The master might have identified who this is?" Bai Jian said, clapping his palms. The servant outside had already moved the assassin's body in and placed it in front of Luo Jiang.
Luo Jiang stood up, bowed, and looked down at the corpse. After checking for a while, Luo Jiang raised his head and said, "Master, this assassin carries rough treasure talismans, and his weapons are not even treasure soldiers. It can only be a casual cultivator. However, even a casual cultivator is not something that can be hired by the Jianghu gang. I am afraid he will be instructed by a large sect. If you want to find out the root cause, you may not be able to do so."
"No clue at all?"
"Master, why not ask me how many sects are planning to do such things. If you want to say suspicious, the scope is too large."
“How big is it?”
"Apart from the four sects of Kunlun, Qingcheng, Penglai and Luofu, tens of thousands of Qi Refiners in the world probably want the life of their prince."
"Why is it me?"
"Because only the prince's martial arts in the Great Jin Dynasty reached the first level of innate martial arts, and there was a bronze man suppression, the threat to the Qi Refiner was unparalleled."
"Listen to what you said, Kunlun, Qingcheng, Penglai and Luofu will not participate?"
"These sects have enough blessings to the world. Even if the Great Jin Dynasty occupied Zhongzhou, it would not affect their aura. On the contrary, humanity is prosperous and they will provide a sufficient number of disciples, and their quality is much better than in troubled times."
"Where is the Red Lotus Pure Land Sect?"
"The benefits of supporting the imperial court are unimaginable. Duke, isn't it?" Luo Jiang replied with a smile.
Bai Jian was not angry either. This Qi Refiner was indeed very powerful. The secret of his True Dragon Seven Killing Spear was probably known for a long time. The Bai family's True Dragon Seven Killing Spear is a martial art that assists the imperial court. The country's fortune is booming, so the cultivation speed of the True Dragon Seven Killing Spear is getting faster and faster.
When I was in my thirties, I reached the level of the first grade of the innate level, which was inseparable from the expansion of the strength of the Great Jin Dynasty.
It was just that it was overwhelming and declined. If the emperor wanted to completely take away the living space of Qi Refiners, Qi Refiners would definitely fight back to the death. I am afraid this was the source of the collapse of the Jin Dynasty again.
The Qi Refiner will not govern the country at all. After the humanitarianism collapses, there will be a situation where demons dance around. At that time, the Bai family will not be able to save it. Unfortunately, dozens of generations of efforts have turned into flowing water.
This thought just flashed through his mind quickly, and Bai Jian said, "Where is the master?" He was sending off guests. It was difficult for him to leave Luo Jiang at home. If you have any questions, you can go to him.
"Leiyin Temple in the south of the city." Luo Jiang picked up the Zen stick and gave a tribute. Before leaving, he said: "The prince keeps all the things on this assassin. It is quite useful to meet someone who understands it... Longhu Mountain is no longer reliable. Your Majesty may not believe this, but the prince must be careful."
When he saw the monk away, Bai Qi had already left Duke Yu's mansion, but Wang Fang came to thank him. Bai Qi was a person who couldn't stay silent, so he followed Wang Fang out for a walk.
Jinling is prosperous with a population of more than 2 million, making it the second most populous city in the Great Jin Dynasty. The shops on the streets are lush and the lanes are wide. Wang Fang did not carry his servants, but went straight to the south of the city with Bai Qi and Bai Qi. The south of the city is where shops and restaurants are concentrated. Giant merchants from all over the Jin Dynasty have business here. Even at night, the south of Jinling City is bright.
"San brother, where are you going?" After the incident of the Qin King's Tomb, Bai Qi and Wang Fang got closer and changed their titles.
"Stay away, Qin Gefang's opera club came to the southern team, and I called Su Mu and Guo Ai to arrange it. We brothers gather together."
"Where is Ye Qiao?"
"I'm seriously injured and it's not appropriate to come out for the time being. Wuyang Hou was very angry. If I come to the door, I will be beaten out."
Bai Qi smiled. He had heard of Qin Gefang that there were brothels and prostitutes inside. Wang Fang asked him to go to the show instead of his "what he liked". There was probably something to discuss.
The two of them rode their horses, and although they couldn't run, they quickly came to Nancheng. When they arrived at Qin Gefang, a healthy servant from Qin Gefang came up to serve the two of them to dismount.
"Young Master, the elegant room is ready, the two young masters are waiting for you."
Wang Fang patted his horse, asked someone to take him over to serve him, and followed Bai Qi and followed him into Qin Gefang. The Qin Gefang was built according to the pattern of the previous dynasty, and surrounded the huge area with tall walls, which contained its own world.
There are more than ten opera clubs in Qin Gefang. The place where Wang Fang went was a single one, surrounded by green brick walls, hollowed out the brick walls, and the curves were quiet. Bai Qi saw the streams long and surrounded the walls. Although it was a little chilly, it was infinitely gentle.
The yard is huge, with four tall buildings, each with six floors.
Bai Qi and others were taken downstairs to the south. They looked up and saw that the building was more than 20 meters high. Guo Ai was watching from the corridor. When he saw Wang Fang and Bai Qi, he reached out to greet him.
At this time, a maid came out to greet him and replaced the servant. The maid was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was handsome and her walking posture swaying. Bai Qi glanced at the maid, but in his heart he was estimating the maid's skills. The maid was still young, and judging his walking posture and the strength on his waist, he might be close to his maid.
Only when I am the son of the Duke, can I afford to support such a female guard. Does a woman in the fun need such power? It seems that the background of Qin Gefang is not simple.
The two were taken to the fifth floor, on the wide corridor, the maid walked through, and the colorful clothes were scattered. Bai Qi looked at him displeased and withdrew his gaze.
The elegant room is wide. After walking in, Bai Qi smelled the fragrance. Looking at the door, there was a large window. Looking out of the window, it was a wider stage. It turned out that there were only five and six floors in this building where the show was watched.
In the room, Guo Ai and Su Mu waited for a long time, but there was still a stranger who made Bai Qi frown.
The stranger is a young woman, dressed in a tight dress and looks like a figure in the martial arts world.
After asking the maid to withdraw, Wang Fang smiled and introduced to Bai Qi: "Xiaobai, this is the guard in my mansion and my friend, Zhen Zhen."
The woman stood up and bowed to Bai Qi, "Zhen Zhen has met Mr. Bai."
When she spoke, she showed her white and neat teeth, but Bai Qi noticed that Zhen Zhen was wearing an ancient ring on his hand. The thin and uncheckable power fluctuations on the ring were the same as her own ring.
Wang Fang observed Bai Qi's expression and saw that Bai Qi was not happy, and said again: "After something happened to the Qin King's Tomb, my father did not punish me, but when he went out, he had to bring his guards. Zhen Zhen..."
