Chapter 374 Pudu Cihang returns to Beijing

In the end, the army that invaded the palace used gunshots to scare away the group of chanting concubines, and then caught the emperor in a secret passage of the palace who had not yet escaped.

At this point, the emperor was captured, the ministers bowed their heads, and the fictional dynasty in A Chinese Ghost Story completely changed.

But this is far from over. Outside the capital, there is still a thousand-year-old demon parading around in the name of National Master...

Zhao Lihe handed over all the palace and court officials to the Nie family and his son, and ordered five armies from the "City Occupation Branch" to take over the city defense. Then he led Nie's father and Nie Changchuan to demonstrate once again what a magic weapon is in front of everyone. Heaven descends.

Looking at the steel army that appeared out of thin air on the plain outside the city, Nie Changchuan was extremely shocked.

He thought that Zhao Lihe's army was already very powerful if it could be equipped with modern thermal weapons.

But who would have thought that he actually hid a powerful mechanized armored division!

Nie Changchuan said in a daze: "Is this the surprise you mentioned?"

Zhao Lihe chuckled and said, "Yes, do you think Pudu Cihang will like it?"

Nie Changchuan nodded repeatedly, looking at the tanks painted in black with emotion.

As a flower-growing family with a fear of insufficient firepower engraved in their DNA, nothing is more reassuring than these thick barrels.

Zhao Lihe smiled slightly and ordered the First Armored Division of Daxia to camp outside the city and wait for Pudu Cihang to return to Beijing.

…

Early the next morning, the diplomats sent by Nie's father and Zhao Lihe had already 'persuaded' the previous emperor and officials, and decided to hold a concession ceremony three days later to cede the throne to Nie's father.

When the news came out, the whole dynasty was in an uproar.

Officials from all over the country sent messengers to inquire about the news.

Couriers can be seen galloping everywhere on the official roads, and letters are delivered between the capital and various places like snowflakes.

As expected, some local officials took advantage of the situation and pledged their allegiance to the new emperor as quickly as possible, hoping to gain a prosperous future.

Some regard this as a risk and an opportunity, and either decide to raise troops to serve the king, or decide to enclose territory and become independent.

For a time, the mountains and rivers of China were in turmoil, and there were turbulent storms.

The fate of the country was changing, and Pudu Cihang, who relied on swallowing the luck of the dynasty to cultivate himself, realized that something was wrong and immediately drove back to Beijing to find out.

At the same time, Nie Changchuan appeared alone in a dark alley outside Nie's mansion in the capital.

Seeing the ground bulge in the dark alley, Nie Changchuan coughed lightly and whispered: "Brother Zhiqiu, are you here?"

"Bang!"

The soil bag broke open, and a figure appeared from it. He squeaked a few times and said in disgust: "Didn't you always let people pick up the excrement in your house before? When did you dig a cesspool, why didn't you tell me in advance?!"

Smelling the stench on the other party's body, Nie Changchuan held his breath and took a step back calmly.

"It's just what happened in the past two years...don't mention this, let's talk about business first!"

"Don't worry, let me take a shower first!"

As he said that, the Taoist priest used a spell to summon a water ball and cleaned it from top to bottom.

There is no doubt that this person is the Kunlun sect Taoist Zhiqiu Yiye in the second part of A Chinese Ghost Story.

The last time Nie Changchuan went down the mountain to kill a weasel spirit for the villagers, he happened to meet Zhiqiu Yiye who also came to kill demons.

The two met each other, knew each other's identities, and then hit it off and became good friends.

When Nie Changchuan met Zhao Lihe this time, he was initially wary, so he sent a message to his master in Maoshan and the traveling Zhiqiu Yiye, asking them to come to the capital to help.

Now Zhiqiu Yiye is here, but his master is still missing, only sending a message.

The general meaning is that Zhao Lihe's background is astonishing, and the Maoshan Ancestral Court is not in a position to intervene, allowing him to act as he sees fit.

Bah, it's not like Nie Changchuan couldn't understand the idea of ​​acting according to circumstances and saying that you don't dare to provoke someone.

However, the more Master and Mao Shan behaved like this, the more he found Zhiqiu Yiye in front of him pleasing to the eye.

...What is a close friend?

Nie Changchuan looked at Zhiqiu Yiye with a smile. After he washed away the odor on his body, he said, "Have you seen the army outside the city?"

"nonsense!"

Zhi Qiu Yiye replied angrily, then twisted the water from his hair, and said with lingering fear: "I know Qiu Yiye has been out for a while, I have seen a lot of people in the court, but I have never seen him before. An army with such exaggerated military power!"

"I was using the Earth Escape Technique and was passing by the camp. I became curious and opened my Dharma Eyes to see what was going on."

"Good guy, that golden light and that military power made me dizzy. I wandered half a circle outside the city before I found the direction into the city..."

Nie Changchuan's head was full of black lines: "No wonder you came so slowly!"

Zhiqiu Yiye sneered, then seemed to suddenly think of something, and said in disbelief: "You don't want me to deal with them, do you?"

"How is that possible!" Nie Changchuan said angrily, and then said seriously, "I did have similar thoughts when I sent you a summons before, but now we are in the same camp - you should have heard of the abdication ceremony. Something, right?"

"I heard." Zhiqiu Yiye nodded, "It is said that the new emperor's surname is Nie - wait, it can't be you, Nie, right?"

Seeing Nie Changchuan nodding, Zhiqiu Yiye's eyes suddenly widened. After a while, he swallowed and said in disbelief.

"You...you want to be the emperor?"

"It's my dad!"

"It's all the same. Aren't you the only son in your family? The throne won't fall to anyone else, right?"

Looking at the playful Zhiqiu Yiye, Nie Changchuan twitched the corner of his mouth: "You seem to really want to see me become the emperor!"

Zhiqiu Yiye said sternly: "Of course, I have long disliked this old emperor and the treacherous ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. You are my best friend. I know your character. With you as emperor, I and the world will be together." The people will feel more at ease!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Nie Changchuan said angrily, "Let's get down to business. I need your help with something!"

Zhiqiu Yiye said with a playful smile: "You tell me, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Nie Changchuan twitched the corner of his mouth and said patiently: "I would like to ask you to go to Guobei County and go to an abandoned temple called Lanruo Temple outside the county to see if there is a reclusive bearded swordsman there."

"If not, don't bother with it, just leave on your own."

"But if there is, then invite him to the capital and say that there are monsters causing trouble in the court and he needs to come out to save the world..."

Although Zhao Lihe had proved his identity, it was just a family rumor after all. Nie Changchuan kept it secret and planned to ask Zhiqiu Yiye, an outsider, to go to Lanruo Temple to verify it for him.

Guobei County, Lanruo Temple, bearded swordsman...

Zhiqiu Yiye was thoughtful, then nodded decisively and said: "Okay, don't worry, I promise to go back as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Zhiqiu Yiye laughed and hugged Nie Changchuan, then made magic tricks with his hands and disappeared.

Nie Changchuan's head was covered with black lines, and he smelled the vague odor on his body. He quickly turned around and went back home, wanting to change his clothes.

…

The abdication ceremony is approaching, but those local officials who threatened to raise troops to serve the king are still whining on the road.

Obviously, they didn't really think of King Bingqin, they just wanted to replace the person on the dragon chair with themselves.

In contrast, Pudu Cihang, who was a demon monk, was more concerned and rushed back to the capital as quickly as possible.

"Namo Amitabha"

On the official road, Sanskrit sounds lingered and echoed for a long time.

More than a dozen monks in strange clothes were guarding a lotus platform. They seemed to be moving slowly, but in fact they were rushing towards the capital.

At that time, the sky was dark, the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, the lotus platform was covered with flags, and there was a faint golden light inside, and a tall figure sitting cross-legged could be vaguely seen.

Paired with the lingering Sanskrit chants, it gives people a sense of solemnity.

But for some reason, under the solemnity of this treasure, there is a faint feeling of monster.

Just like 'Kang Shuai Fu Beef Noodles' and 'Bai Shi Cola', you may not notice much at first glance, but if you look closely, the fake and shoddy feeling will be instantly apparent.

And Zhao Lihe's feeling was more obvious than that of ordinary people.

The demon monk was just close to the capital, and the Xuanyuan Divine Sword on his waist began to tremble.

Zhao Lihe frowned and pulled out the Xuanyuan Divine Sword. The sword's golden light shone brightly and pointed outside the city.

"The demon monk is here!"

Zhao Lihe's eyes turned cold, and he immediately walked out of the camp with his sword, woke up Nie Changchuan next door, and dragged him out of the camp.

"Brother, you are really my brother. Where are you taking me in the middle of the night?!"

Nie Changchuan was fastening the buttons on his chest while looking at Zhao Lihe's back helplessly.

Suddenly, a golden light lit up on the official road ahead, and a group of monks appeared in his field of vision.

Nie Changchuan woke up in an instant, his face turned solemn, he took out his talisman and prepared for the attack.

Seeing someone blocking the official road ahead, the monk carrying the sedan suddenly stopped. One of the nuns walked up to the sedan and shouted loudly.

"Who in front dares to stop the master's magic frame!"

Zhao Lihe sneered without saying a word. The golden light of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword in his hand flashed forward, and he swung it forward.

In an instant, a golden bolt broke away from the sword body and slashed towards the nun in front of the sedan chair with a whistling air current.

The golden light hit her face, and the nun turned pale with fright, and hurriedly stepped aside.

"Amitabha!"

Just as the golden light was about to approach the lotus platform, the figure in the sedan chair chanted the name of the Buddha, and the golden light in the flag cloth shone brightly, forming a virtual shadow of the golden Buddha, completely shattering the golden light.

Seeing this situation, Nie Changchuan couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in a daze: "Now we're going to take action, why don't we say a few words first?"

Zhao Lihe sneered and said: "Evil heretic, if you have anything to say, it will be in vain!"

Before he finished speaking, a dark wind blew up, and the cloth on the lotus platform was blown away, revealing Pudu Cihang with his hands clasped together and his body covered with Buddha's light.

"Amitabha, the donor is too cruel and has committed murder in vain. Why don't you quickly put down the butcher knife and follow me to recite the Dharma and escape from the sea of ​​suffering..."
