Vol 7 Chapter 20: former nine gates
"What the **** are you talking about?!" Emperor Cheng immediately couldn't control the anger in his chest, and roared, "This is the National Temple! What can happen to the prince?! Tell me clearly!"
With Emperor Cheng's roar, Duanmu Ruifeng was already petrified.
Duanmu Yankang sobbed with his cautious courage: "Prince brother heard the legend about the national temple and took us to find the mysterious palace, but then he...disappeared...Damn it, my ministers—" Duanmu Yankang and Duanmu Ruifeng immediately bowed down and cried together.
Emperor Cheng still couldn't understand what he heard, Prime Minister You and General Yuchi didn't understand the cause and effect at all.
"What mysterious palace? Ah?! You should explain clearly!" Emperor Cheng knocked on the table anxiously. How could he not be in a hurry, what disappeared was not only Qian Chao's future successor, but also his son!
"Yes! You guys made it clear!" Old General Yuchi was also anxious, the queen was his daughter, and the crown prince was his grandson!
Duanmu Yankang wiped his tears: "It is said that there is a forbidden place in the National Temple. There is a mysterious palace there. No one who enters can come out. The prince brother was curious, so he took us to look for it, and it turned out... really found it It's gone..." Duanmu Yankang burst into tears again, "Well, then, the prince's brother climbed over the wall and wanted to go in, we stopped him, and at that time, the prince's brother really stopped, as if he didn't I was going to go in, but, but I don’t know where there was a sudden gust of wind, the sky was dark all of a sudden, flying sand and rocks, we couldn’t see anything clearly, when the wind stopped... the prince brother disappeared..." Duanmu Yankang said in one breath After that, he drooped his head and shed tears as if he was leading the death, "Father... sons and ministers should die... damn..." Duanmu Yankang cried bitterly, losing the prince, they were afraid that the death penalty would be inevitable, and the living crime would be inevitable!
After hearing this, Emperor Cheng felt dizzy for a while, his heart thumped rapidly, and his body swayed involuntarily.
Seeing this, the right minister hurriedly helped Emperor Cheng.
Old General Yuchi was also completely stunned. What, what is going on? !
Emperor Cheng had a splitting headache, and with his pale lips, he uttered three words weakly: "Bi, pass on the nine gates..."
Old General Yuchi regained his senses in the three words of Emperor Cheng: "I'll go to the abbot's room and call Yao Guanglai!" Old General Yuchi walked away quickly. Of the three people here, he is the only one with the fastest legs.
Lin Jingzhi helped Emperor Cheng to sit down, saw Duanmu Yankang brothers who were still kneeling on the ground, not daring to get up, and weeping, and sighed softly. How come to the National Temple, can cause such a big disaster!
However, it was the first time he had heard of a forbidden area in the national temple. How could there be a mysterious palace?
At this time, Yao Guang and Fat Buddha were having a heart-to-heart talk with Master Abbot Awakening in the abbot's meditation room. Fat Buddha has not returned to the Guosi for more than half a year. He is a disciple of the abbot. Back then, Master Awakened recommended Fat Buddha to Yao Guang, and Fat Buddha joined the Nine Gates. Of course, for Fat Buddha, it is like a nine gate , but also to practice the Dharma, which is only of great benefit to him.
"Yao Guangguang, listen to what you said, the old man also wants to see God Lian, open your eyes." Master Awakening also spoke a little mischievously, like an old urchin.
Fat Buddha chuckled: "Master, Great God Lian said that she is not suitable to come to the National Temple."
"Oh? The temple can accommodate all living beings, why not this great god?" Master Awakened expressed confusion.
Fat Buddha smiled even more cheerfully: "Isn't this a great god? There is a saying that the temple is too small to accommodate a great god. Great God Lian said that when she comes, all the golden Buddhas in the temple will have to kneel down, shaking the world, which is not good."
"Oh—such a big god!" Master Awakened opened his eyes wide, surprised, but with a smile in his eyes, obviously not completely believing Fat Buddha's words.
"Master, you'll know it when you see it, Yoyo, and you've brought a lot of treasures, and even gave Fat Buddha a magic weapon, which is very powerful!" Yao Guang said happily, and he had to show off any treasures.
"Oh—?" Master Awakening looked at Fat Buddha, "It's a magic weapon, take it out and let the old monk take a look."
Fat Buddha was a little more modest than Yao Guang at this time: "It's not a good treasure, it's just a pot." Although he said it was nothing, he still revealed the pot that Lian Youyou gave him. At this time, the black pot was about the size of a bowl. Black and bright.
Master Awakened looked left and right, and it still looked like the stone bowls of their monks. He couldn't help being confused: "Where does it look like a pot?"
Fat Buddha saw that his master was suspicious, so he yelled at the bowl in his hand: "Big!"
at once! The stone bowl instantly turned into a scapegoat, and the awakened master was dumbfounded again! This time, he was really shocked, and he really believed Fat Buddha's words. Lian Youyou must be a **** and Buddha, otherwise, bring such a satisfactory artifact!
After Fat Buddha showed off, Yao Guang also wanted to take out his flagon to show off: "I have another one here..." He was about to take it out to dry, when old general Yuchi suddenly rushed in: "Yao Guang! Hurry up! The prince is missing! You have to find it!"
The anxious old general Yuchi pulled Yao Guang away.
Fat Buddha and Awakened Abbot are confused, what happened?
"Wait, wait!" Yao Guang grabbed the frightened old general, also puzzled, "Old general, even when the soldiers approached the city, I haven't seen you so flustered yet, what's wrong with you?"
"The prince is missing! The prince is missing—" Old General Yuchi shouted anxiously.
Yao Guang was still calm: "Old General Yuchi, to be honest, it is normal for the prince to disappear... Fu Mingrui and him are good friends. If you ask Fu Mingrui to help you find it, you will definitely be able to find it."
"It's different this time! Ouch!" Old General Yuchi scratched his ears anxiously, stomping his feet again, "What kind of forbidden place..."
Hearing the word "Forbidden Land", Master Awakened, Fat Buddha, and Yao Guang all tensed up.
"What a mysterious palace, no one can come out after entering it!" Old General Yuchi grabbed Yao Guang anxiously, "Oh, I can't tell, so the emperor told you to go to the nine gates!"
Yao Guang opened his eyes and said, "Prince, didn't he... go to that palace!" Yao Guang specially emphasized that word.
Old General Yuchi noticed that Yao Guang seemed clear, and nodded immediately: "That's right! That's the palace! You! You know!"
Immediately, Yao Guang's face turned gray.
"Hey—" Master Awakened let out a long and heavy sigh, his complexion sank into ashes, "If it's that palace, even if it's the Nine Gates, it's impossible to find His Royal Highness..."
"Why?!" Old General Yuchi asked subconsciously, and it was only when he saw Master Awakening that he suddenly realized that the abbot must know the most about the forbidden area!
Fat Buddha clasped his hands together and looked at the old general Yuchi seriously: "Because all the members of the former Nine Gates also disappeared in that palace and never came out again..."
After Fat Buddha finished saying this, Old General Yuchi immediately stood there in shock, dumbstruck!
