"Silence!"
Si Qing shouted. He wore the gilded dragon robe of the crown prince and stood beside the throne, in charge of maintaining order in the hall.
This job sounded quite authoritative, but it was just a fox borrowing the tiger's might. If there were eunuchs in this world, this would be the work of a eunuch.
He was extremely annoyed, but he did not dare to show it on his face. After all, he was the weakest among the crown princes. Even Si Bao, who went through the tribulation later than him, was stronger than him. This was because his physical body was destroyed by Li Qingshan and his strength was greatly reduced. The hatred in his heart had never subsided and was growing with each passing day.
The hall immediately quieted down.
The emperor said, "Our Great Xia, with all the officials and generals in the court, can't think of a way to deal with a mere person?"
The head of the nine ministers, Zhong Zai, said, "I have something to say. If it's just to deal with the Enemy of Buddha, there are many ways. It's not impossible to kill her, but we need to use the power of the whole country. Now is the crucial moment of 'worship to the heavens'. After the worship succeeds, the Enemy of Buddha is just a small problem. If the worship fails, even if we kill the Enemy of Buddha, the Nine Regions will not escape the fate of being swallowed by the Hungry Ghost Realm. "
The Left Imperial Advisor said, "It's not difficult to force the Hungry Ghost Realm to retreat, but this time, the Hungry Ghost Realm is here for the Enemy of Buddha, and they are determined to get it at all costs!"
The emperor frowned, "The Enemy of Buddha again!"
Zhong Zai said, "The Left Imperial Advisor is right. The problem is not just the Hungry Ghost Realm. The Enemy of Buddha has already opened dozens of demon dens. If this continues, there will be an unprecedented demon disaster soon. Although it is indeed the Enemy of Buddha that caused this situation. However, our enemy is not just one person, but two worlds. "
The emperor suddenly stood up. He said angrily, "Is this Enemy of Buddha sent by the heavens to go against us? Are you going to let us watch her run amok without doing anything? "
In an instant, the wind and clouds outside the hall surged and thunder rumbled.
Zhong Zai said, "A little impatience will spoil the great plan. Your Majesty, please prioritize the worship to the heavens!"
All the ministers said, "Your Majesty, please prioritize the worship to the heavens!"
The Great Xia Emperor slowly sat down again, "Forget it. When the worship to the heavens is completed, a mere Enemy of Buddha will be easily captured! Eagle King, have you found the reincarnated Celestial? "
The Protector Eagle God replied, "Not yet. The various prefectures have prepared a list of names, and there are some people with extraordinary talents among them. He might have been a cultivator in his previous life. But it's not the Celestial we're looking for. Most of them just happened to retain some memories of their past lives. They didn't even know what cultivation was in their past lives, so they couldn't be considered as reincarnations of Deities. Perhaps the Celestial Being's memory hadn't recovered and he hadn't remembered his mission. Otherwise, he would definitely come to the Dragon province. "
The reincarnation of a deva was actually a vague concept. All living beings revolved in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Any random person he grabbed could be considered a reincarnation. Only he was a cultivator in his previous life and had some memories of his previous life. Only then could he be called the "reincarnation of a celestial being".
The problem was that Nine Regions spanned hundreds of thousands of miles, and the population at its peak was more than ten billion. There were too many talented people. On the other hand, there was truly no way to verify the memories of one's previous lifetime. Even if one did exist, it would mostly be blurry and incomplete, and one could only rely on one's comprehension ability and speed of cultivation.
Even if some people refused to admit it themselves, others would still believe they were the reincarnations of a celestial being, such as Little Ann.
As a result, there were just far too many people in the world who claimed to be "reincarnations of a celestial being".
However, the imperial court of Great Xia only wanted to find a single person. Over all these years, they had ordered the Hawkwolf Guard to search the various places silently, but they had never found anything.
Many years ago, there was someone like that in the Clear River prefecture, called Chu Tian. Back then, Gu Yanying was still the White Hawk commander of the Ruyi commandery, but whether it was intentional or not, she did not cooperate with her father's work at all. Afterwards, Chu Tian "died young", and the "reincarnation of a celestial being" became a joke.
As for the celestial the imperial court of Great Xia was looking for, he never appeared.
… …
Under the hazy moonlight, the night mist enveloped the tiny islands in the lake. It was as if they had not been affected by the upheaval of the world at all. It was as tranquil as a painting.
A man and a woman strolled along the shore. The man was handsome and elegant, while the woman was beautiful and enchanting. They seemed to be a pair of immortal companions who had grown tired of conflict and returned to seclusion hand in hand.
"Why are you so special to me?" The woman was rather confused, but she was also rather eager.
A sliver of surprise flashed through the man's eyes, as if he had never expected someone as clever as her to ask such a stupid question. He said with complete sincerity, "Because you've always been very special!"
"Heh, you must be especially bad!" The woman lowered her eyes and smiled in a self-deprecating manner.
"Yeah, not only are you especially bad, but you're also very cruel!" The man smiled.
"Yeah, I've always thought I hid it very well." The woman smiled as well.
"It's useless. I've always experienced it deeply, but it seems like the past White Hawk commanders of the Ruyi commandery have all been like that." The man smiled bitterly as if he was helpless.
The woman grumbled, "Oi, if you're talking about me, then so be it, but do you have to talk about my master too?"
The man was mildly surprised. He had never seen her behave like this before. It was actually surprisingly enchanting. Suddenly, he remembered that she had practised arts of charm in the past, but the sliver of affection was not fake. He smiled. "Just like the saying, like master, like disciple. Senior Gu obviously has her reasons for accepting you as her disciple. Any observant person can see how special you are. "
"Perhaps she just finds me particularly annoying, so she specially accepted me as her disciple so that she can torture me!" The woman said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
"I've never heard of something like that. Accepting someone as your disciple just because you hate them." The man laughed aloud. His clear laughter alarmed a flock of egrets.
"There have always been many strange things in the world. Isn't there one of the Eight Sufferings of Buddhism called the Society of Resentment?" The woman turned her head to the side and looked at the man.
The man looked back at her. "Yeah, I don't think much about that. I feel like the greatest sufferings of life are not being able to get what you want.
The woman shifted her gaze. "What do you want?"
The man suddenly changed the topic. "The playboy who was the primary disciple of the school of Legalism was infatuated with your master. Unfortunately, he's already left the Ruyi commandery, or I'd definitely invite him for a drink so that I can ask him for guidance on how to free myself from the pain of not being able to get what I want. "
The woman fell silent for a while before saying, "Do you know? The person I hate the most is my master. "
The man asked curiously, "Why?"
The woman stopped and stared at the drifting moonlight in the lake. "I haven't told you about my past, have I?"
"No." The man shook his head. Her past had always been a mystery.
"Do you want to hear it?"
"That's exactly what I want."
The man could sense the woman's heart opening up to him. His efforts over the years had finally paid off. Joy surged through his heart. Wasn't what he had done everything he could to obtain that sincerity?
Only by obtaining that sincerity could he personally shatter it and take back everything that belonged to him!
Qian Rongzhi, this is my, Chu Tian's, revenge! (To be continued …)
PS: I'm going to my aunt's tomorrow, and then I'll take a bus home, so I'm taking a day off. Yep, that's it.
