Chapter 317 Master Chenghai
Princess Ankang and her party stood in the distance and watched silently.
Although they recognized that the eunuch in Ouchi who was confronting the monks of Ci'en Temple was the eunuch in flower clothes, they did not casually step forward to help.
Who knows which prince or princess caused trouble here, Princess Ankang and the others have no intention of getting involved casually.
Li Xuan looked up at the nearby Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
This tower is indeed built very high. In the night, it is like a dark pillar that connects the sky and the earth, connecting the earth and the stars and the moon in the sky.
But now they could clearly see that there was fire flashing inside the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and it seemed that someone was climbing up with a torch.
"I don't know what treasures there are in this tower that would lead people to take such desperate risks."
At this time, the monk from Ci'en Temple started shouting again:
"Ask those who are climbing the tower to come down immediately and leave quickly."
"Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
Someone broke into his forbidden area at will. If it weren't for the extraordinary strength of the eunuch in front of him, and a group of people who didn't know his origins, the monks of Ci'en Temple wouldn't be so verbose and would have taken advantage of him. Got off.
Fortunately, the people in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda were not very fast, and they had only climbed to the second floor.
But if you continue to let it go, it is absolutely not allowed. When the time comes, these monks in front of you will have to be taught a lesson by the abbot of Ci'en Temple.
But the eunuchs in colorful clothes who were confronting the monks from Ci'en Temple were not moved at all. They still stood in front of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, blocking everyone from approaching the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
Seeing that their good words and persuasion didn't work, the monks of Ci'en Temple immediately couldn't care about anything else and began to perform their duties.
"Set up a formation!"
The leading monk shouted loudly, and the other monks immediately waved their long sticks and took action.
I saw the monks of Ci'en Temple perform dazzling moves, and the long sticks in their hands continued to create gorgeous stick flowers, which was dizzying for everyone.
And taking advantage of such a short period of time, they quickly completed the siege of the colorful eunuchs blocking in front of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
The monks from Ci'en Temple surrounded the eunuch in colorful clothes, and then began to slowly turn in a circle, and they turned faster and faster. The long sticks in their hands hit the ground messily, making a rhythmless and harsh noise, disturbing The state of mind of the people in the formation.
The eunuchs in colorful clothes also reacted immediately, standing back to back in a circle, setting up their postures, ready to counterattack at any time.
Li Xuan watched from the side and felt that there was something about the formation of these monks. While they were spinning in circles, their aura was rising.
These momentums merge together, making those trapped in the formation feel more stressed.
"Combined attack formation?"
"It's interesting."
It was the first time that Li Xuan saw such a combined attack formation, so he opened his eyes and observed carefully.
It turned out that as the circle went around, the number of people on the monk's side became smaller and smaller.
The eunuchs in colorful clothes were trapped in the formation and were greatly disturbed. They did not notice that as the formation continued, some people on the monk side continued to break away from the formation and went straight to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
Seeing the monks seizing the opportunity one by one and taking advantage of the chaos to get into the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Li Xuan almost laughed out loud.
"Well, not only play formations, but also tactics, right?"
By the time the colorful eunuch trapped in the formation felt something was wrong, nearly one-third of the monks had already entered the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, obviously heading towards the person who climbed the tower.
"Oops!"
"They have entered the tower, stop them quickly!"
The eunuchs in colorful clothes who realized this later were so angry that their eyes were splitting. They never thought that one day they would be tricked by the monk.
These monks kept spinning around in circles, and they thought it was a special formation.
Their master told them to stop anyone who tried to climb the tower.
At first, these colorful eunuchs were happy that the monks from Ci'en Temple were wasting their time with them.
As a result, this group of monks turned out to be very cunning. Under the cover of the formation, they sneaked into the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and headed straight for their master.
"Bald donkey, you dare to cheat, look at this move of mine."
The eunuchs in colorful clothes who were trapped in the formation got angry and started fighting with the monks of Ci'en Temple.
The monks could no longer perform the formation, and the men and horses on both sides immediately started fighting.
On the side, Princess Ankang and others watched the show.
Although I don’t know who the person who climbed the tower is, looking at the current scene, there is quite a mess.
Ci'en Temple is quite prestigious in the capital and is loved by the people.
Even if they are the heirs of the royal family, if they cause trouble in Ci'en Temple, they will definitely be punished later.
Even the eighth prince had to think carefully before he dared to offend Ci'en Temple.
I don’t know who dared to take such a risk.
"Lao Ba, are there any treasures in this Big Wild Goose Pagoda?"
Princess Yuanan asked curiously.
Otherwise, she couldn't figure out why someone would do such a thing.
Moreover, judging from the reaction of the monks of Ci'en Temple, there is indeed something they care about.
"There is no treasure."
The Eighth Prince said with certainty.
"Inside the Big Wild Goose Pagoda are some Buddhist scriptures, as well as the relics of eminent monks and personal souvenirs during their lifetimes."
"It's hard to say that these things are treasures."
The Eighth Prince seems to know the situation of Ci'en Temple very well, and also knows what is stored in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
"Then why do you go to all this trouble?"
Princess Yuanan pointed at the chaotic situation in front of her.
The warrior monks of Ci'en Temple and the colorful eunuchs fought fiercely.
The eunuchs in colorful clothes are more powerful, but they have no intention of hurting others, and their numbers are smaller.
Although several people have broken into the tower to chase the monks from Ci'en Temple, the situation under the tower is deadlocked.
Both sides were waiting for the people in the tower to decide the outcome, and their hands slowly began to maintain a tacit understanding.
As expected, something unexpected happened in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
The fire that was slowly rising gradually stopped on the third floor, and the fire flickered, as if it might go out at any time.
At this time, a head suddenly emerged from a window on the third floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
The distance was long and the sky was dark, so they couldn't see clearly who was down there.
But the next moment, a voice shouted from below:
"Old man, come up and save me!"
"ah!!!"
After screaming, the head immediately went back.
The voice sounded like a woman's, and even though she shouted as loud as she could, she still couldn't hide the weakness in her voice.
Everyone was stunned, and then looked at the Eighth Prince standing aside.
The Eighth Prince looked embarrassed, and then said helplessly:
"Why is it her..."
The Eighth Prince looked reluctant, obviously not willing to do this favor.
But for some unknown reason, the eighth prince seemed to have no choice but to step forward to help.
The one who could call the Eighth Prince Lao Ba must also be their brothers and sisters, but both Princess Ankang and Princess Yuanan felt very unfamiliar with the previous voice.
"Brother Eight Emperors, who is on the tower?"
Princess Ankang asked curiously.
"That's our Seventh Emperor Sister."
"Go up and help, don't let them hit you again."
"Sister Qihuang has no ill intentions. I told the abbot master that Ci'en Temple will not care."
The Eighth Prince couldn't help but shook his head and led someone to break up the fight.
"Sister Seventh Emperor?"
Princess Ankang and Princess Yuanan looked at each other, and immediately remembered the day they saw the princess with dark circles under her eyes in the imperial garden, lying on a stretcher, and coming to the stage to draw lots.
"It turns out to be her."
The two princesses suddenly understood, and judging from the situation, the eighth prince and the seventh prince looked quite familiar.
Now that the Eighth Prince has gone over to break up the fight, Princess Ankang and Princess Yuanan naturally cannot continue to watch from the sidelines.
They asked the eunuchs in colorful clothes around them to come forward to help.
When the monks of Ci'en Temple saw that the situation was taking a turn for the worse, they immediately put away their fancy formations and formed a circular formation on their own, hoping to deal with the siege of the colorful eunuchs.
"I knew you were all in the same group!"
The monk in charge said angrily.
He issued a warning at the beginning, but later on the group showed no intention of avoiding it.
Sure enough, now seize the opportunity to start besieging them.
"Who are you, and what are you trying to do by forcefully breaking into the forbidden area of our Ci'en Temple?"
"I advise all donors to put down their butcher's knives and turn around."
"It's too late to back off now."
The monk in charge tried to influence the Eighth Prince and others, mainly to delay time until the abbot and his people came to support.
The Eighth Prince himself had no intention of harming these monks.
In the final analysis, they are still unreasonable.
The Eighth Prince looked back at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and then sent out his eunuchs in colorful clothes to ask them to go in and help.
He has almost guessed what the Seventh Princess wanted to do after breaking into the Wild Goose Pagoda.
Now I have no choice but to help the Seventh Princess quickly before the abbot master arrives.
When the time comes, the Seventh Princess will naturally leave after she has achieved her goal.
But at this moment, a figure galloped from a distance and arrived in front of everyone in a few leaps.
This is an old monk with a snow-white beard, his face is covered with wrinkles, and his eyes are so wrinkled that he can hardly open them.
"Master Chenghai!"
Seeing the person coming, the Eighth Prince couldn't help but exclaimed.
Then he quickly shouted:
"Master, wait a minute!"
Master Chenghai stood in front of the Eighth Prince, clasped his hands and saluted him.
"Your Highness came to Ci'en Temple and didn't even say hello to me."
"Well, how dare you disturb Master Chenghai? Today I just brought a few sisters to participate in the Bon Festival activities."
While the Eighth Prince was speaking, he quietly took a few steps back and stood next to Princess Ankang and Princess Yuanan. Then he quietly winked and asked the eunuchs in colorful clothes not to continue to surround the monks of Ci'en Temple.
Just as the Eighth Prince was about to continue explaining, the monk from Ci'en Temple immediately came to complain:
"Abbott, they were the ones who forced their way into the Big Wild Goose Pagoda."
"There is still a group of people inside the tower. Several senior brothers went up to chase them, but they haven't come down yet."
"They sent a lot of people in to help, and we can't delay it any longer."
After the monk finished speaking, he looked up at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
By coincidence, the fire that had been paused on the third floor for a long time moved to the fourth floor.
The Eighth Prince knew the temper of Master Chenghai, and he was not an easy person to talk to.
"Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding!"
In response, Master Chenghai just snorted coldly, looked up at the fire in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and then said:
"live!"
The next moment, inexplicable pressure spread from Master Chenghai, and then Master Chenghai's figure disappeared instantly.
Everyone present remained in their original postures, motionless.
Even Li Xuan is like this.
It's not that they don't want to move, it's that they can't move, as if they were under a body-holding spell.
The passage of time suddenly began to become longer, and Li Xuan could only move one pair of eyes.
He looked at Princess Ankang and Yu'er and found that they were like stone sculptures, even the focus of their eyes was fixed without any fluctuation.
"A third-level master!?"
Li Xuan had seen this kind of ability similar to that of an immortal in Ye Lao before.
Unexpectedly, the abbot of Ci'en Temple was also such a master.
I don’t know how long it took, but Li Xuan was the first to break free and began to move freely, and the passage of time returned to normal.
Immediately afterwards, the eunuchs in colorful clothes resumed their actions and were extremely vigilant to protect the three His Highnesses.
They nervously searched for traces of Master Chenghai, but found that this man had disappeared before their eyes.
If the other party had actually made a move against them before, the time they had been lost would have been enough to kill them several times.
After Master Chenghai showed his ability earlier, these eunuchs in colorful clothes immediately understood who this person was.
They looked at each other with fear in their eyes.
And then, more and more people recovered.
Li Xuan discovered that everyone had not been controlled by Master Chenghai for a long time. It was just that when they were controlled, the passage of time they could feel would be slowed down, which gave the illusion that they had been controlled for a long time.
"Outrageous abilities!"
Li Xuan was shocked when he recalled what Master Chenghai had done.
Just uttering one word could actually make everyone present lose their focus for such a long time.
If this happened in the middle of a battle, wouldn't it mean that he would be killed in a dark way?
"Mr. Ye is like this, Master Chenghai is also like this, how come everyone who reaches the third level is so terrifying."
"Does it mean that everyone starts cultivating immortality when they reach the third level?"
Li Xuan hasn't even cultivated his true energy yet, but it turns out that someone in this world is already using immortal methods.
This kind of impact was really big for him.
"Axuan, what happened to me earlier?"
Princess Ankang came to her senses in a daze and asked Li Xuan in confusion.
Li Xuan wrote on her palm with his tail, guessing that this was Master Chenghai's ability.
Princess Ankang was startled by this explanation and asked naa-na:
"Is this still something that martial arts can do?"
But before Li Xuan could continue to answer, Master Chenghai's figure floated down from the sky.
There were many people who fell with him.
"slow."
Master Chenghai whispered another word.
As a result, many people who followed him and fell from the sky suddenly felt wind at their feet, which supported their falling bodies, and finally landed gently on the ground, safe and sound.
These people kept their original movements until they landed. It was obvious that they were controlled by Master Chenghai like Princess Ankang and others before.
Among these people, Li Xuan saw the Seventh Princess, whom he had met once before in the imperial garden, and whose eyes were still dark.
