Chapter 1414 Questioning
Demon Suppression Ceremony?
Su Wu was slightly stunned when he heard what Emperor Xuanzong said.
In the Forbidden Palace today, the various arrangements of Weng Zhong gods, ridge beasts, and door gods are linked together, and they also lead the dragon vein of national destiny. Emperor Xuanzong is absolutely safe here.
If there are still hidden hands left by the Queen Mother in the palace, the Queen Mother might as well let the Longhua Divine Tree take root in the palace and grow completely with the help of the Li Tang imperial vein. However, the Queen Mother did not do so. Instead, she went to great lengths to choose Huashan as the foundation for the growth of the Longhua Divine Tree amidst thousands of difficulties and dangers. It can be seen that even if there are still hidden hands left by her, such hidden hands are not enough to support her to stir up any big storm in the world.
She was born under the Longhua Divine Tree. When she was at her peak, she did not reach out to Chang'an City. Now she is a dog with a broken spine, and it is even more impossible for her to get involved in the Forbidden Palace.
Emperor Xuanzong held the "Great Demon-Suppressing Ceremony" with the excuse that "the Queen Mother had a hidden hand in the Forbidden City". In fact, this excuse is hard to hold true for Su Wu.
However, it was just a fasting and prayer ceremony.
Emperor Xuanzong wanted to collect the Taoist talismans from all over the world and spread them in the Forbidden City. It had no impact on the overall situation, and Su Wu had no reason to disagree.
He nodded and said to Emperor Xuanzong: "I used to live in seclusion in the mountains and have never presided over a ritual. I am afraid that I am not qualified to be the main priest of this "Demon Suppression Grand Ceremony".
However, I can spread the message to all the Taoist sects for your majesty and ask the disciples of all the Taoist sects to write various talismans and present them to the Forbidden City.
And the two real people Ye Fashan of Maoshan Sect and Shang Yong of Zongmiao Sect can preside over the ritual of "Demon Suppression Grand Ceremony".
Emperor Xuanzong naturally hoped that Su Wu could call on the disciples of the Taoist sects all over the world to write talismans and gather in the Forbidden City, instead of personally participating in this Demon Suppression Grand Ceremony, so as to avoid Su Wu's personal prestige from being further enhanced in this ritual.
Now Su Wu's words can be regarded as catering to his wishes.
But he had no reason to refuse, and immediately said with a smile: "My dear minister, you have been running around for more than half a month, and it is time for you to take a rest. Since you are unwilling to preside over this ceremony, I will find another Taoist master to be the main priest of this fasting and offering ceremony.
However, calling on the disciples of the Taoist sects in the world to write talismans and submit them to the Forbidden City must be entrusted to you.
You have defeated 24 Taoist sects in a row, and everyone in the world knows the reputation of "Bad Commander Zhang Wu"!
On the Xuanmen list updated tomorrow, I want you to be ranked third on the Xuanmen list, on the same list as "Li Hanguang", what do you think?"
"All arranged by the saint." Su Wu said.
Emperor Xuanzong's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said, "Since Monk Huizhao has climbed Mount Hua, he has joined hands with you to cut down the Longhua sacred tree.
The Faxiang Sect can be cleared of all suspicions related to the incarnation of the Queen of Heaven.
If Master Huizhao is interested, he can lead the Faxiang Sect back to the old site of the Ci'en Temple in Chang'an. You can pass on my message to Master Huizhao."
"After Master Huizhao and I joined hands to cut down the Longhua sacred tree, he has completely abandoned worldly thoughts.
He has now retired to the mountains and forests, and I have no idea where he is." Su Wu replied calmly.
Hearing his words, Xuanzong smiled inexplicably: "I have heard that Zen Master Huizhao has achieved Buddhahood and stepped into the 'Bodhisattva Land'. Zhang Qing met him at Huashan. What do you think of his cultivation? Has he achieved Buddhahood and achieved the great virtue of 'Bodhisattva'?"
"Zen Master Huizhao has a profound practice. I am not as good as him and cannot see through his practice." Su Wu replied.
"Well... it doesn't matter." Xuanzong was anxious and wanted to smile. He pretended to be relaxed and leaned on the throne. He said to Su Wu, "The Queen of Heaven used the story of Maitreya's rebirth to deceive people's hearts. She died and was reborn. Now Maitreya belief is still popular in Buddhism.
Maitreya belief should be regarded as obscene worship.
The matter of destroying Maitreya belief and abandoning obscene worship will be left to the bad people under your command."
"Yes."
Su Wu nodded in agreement without changing his expression.
The monks who believed in Maitreya the most were all led by the Queen Mother into her "Maitreya Inner Courtyard", and the Maitreya Inner Courtyard has now become a main branch of the sacred tree.
These monks who believed in Maitreya the most were already caught by him, and it was only a matter of words to order all temples to ban the worship of Maitreya.
Xuanzong might want to use this to alienate the relationship between him and Buddhism, and this method might have some effect, but he didn't care.
—— The most elite monks in the world either became bad people or were guarded in the "Five Prisons". The other monks had some misunderstandings about him and cursed him secretly, so what did it have to do with him?
Having said this, Xuanzong had the intention of "sending the guests away".
Chu Dou, who had been waiting nearby without any sense of presence, held a large box in his arms and reported at the right time: "Your Majesty, the Buliang people have gone through hardships and finally refined the first batch of stranger armor. The Buliang commander asked his subjects to bring it to your Majesty. Please take a look!"
"Stranger armor?!"
Xuanzong raised his eyebrows suddenly, and almost couldn't maintain his expression. He glanced at Su Wu who was silent beside him, and then turned his eyes to the large box held in Chu Dou's arms, and said again: "The first batch of stranger armor is in that box?"
"That's right!" Chu Dou bowed and put the box on the ground.
There was no need for Emperor Xuanzong to speak at this time. The tall eunuch who was hiding in the corner and seemed to be non-existent had already walked up to Chu Dou and opened the box, revealing a neat and shiny pair of armor inside the box - - Even if the armor is only seen with the naked eye, the tall eunuch feels that it is extremely beautiful and contains some kind of spirituality.
The cold light like frost circulated between the armor leaves. At this moment, the tall eunuch felt in a trance, and he felt that the armor in the box seemed to come to life!
"This..." The tall eunuch was startled. He turned around and saluted Emperor Xuanzong hesitantly and said, "This armor is indeed magical. I dare not touch it easily for fear of something bad happening..."
When Xuanzong heard this, he glared at the tall eunuch and became curious about the human armor in the box.
Chu Dou, who was standing behind the box, said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty, please allow me to show you the magic of human armor in this life - this kind of armor, according to the bad commander, can imprison the ghost king and eliminate all the terror of the ghost king." The magical effect of transforming the power of armor.
I am imprisoning a ghost king myself, and I can use it to test my armor! "
Chu Dou had long wanted to try the power of this 'Frost Armor', but he had never found the opportunity before, but now he finally seized the opportunity.
"good.
It was up to General Chu to test the magic of this armor. Xuanzong smiled and nodded in agreement.
Seeing Xuanzong nod, Chu Dou immediately bowed down and stretched out his hands to grab the armor in the box - the moment his fingers touched the pieces of silver armor, he suddenly felt a feeling in his heart, as if the frost-refined armor in the box was transformed into A stream of cold, flowing water immediately wrapped around the fingers of his hands and clung to his arms and body!
In the eyes of everyone in the hall, the armor tendons that connected pieces of armor seemed to have turned into snakes, intertwining the rudiments of armor on Chu Dou's body like a mountain of flesh, and then attached pieces of armor. On top of it, the entire complex-structured armor was worn by Chu Dou in the blink of an eye!
And the armor he was originally wearing became in pieces in this instant and fell all over the ground!
Wearing this armor, Chu Dou felt as if he was wearing a spring shirt and moving freely. As he thought, the blooming red lotus carved on his head suddenly gathered its petals and turned into a flower in the blink of an eye. A lotus bud, a hand stained with blood poked out from the top of the lotus bud - the moment the ghost king's arm poked out of the lotus bud, it was infected by layers of frost-like aura, freezing it to the core. !
The blood-stained ghost king's arm was dragged by the killing frost aura and imprisoned in the frost armor!
Chu Dou felt that everything in his body was relaxed. The pain that had caused all his internal organs to be tortured completely disappeared. However, he was at a loss for what to do and froze in place for a while!
The frost armor suddenly turned into the color of plasma at this moment.
Scarlet frost and snow accumulated at Chu Dou's feet, flowing with a sinister and sinister charm.
Xuanzong saw all the changes in Chu Dou after putting on the armor, and he could already see the wonder of this kind of 'unrepentant armor'. He saw Chu Dou stunned and didn't move, so he said: "Chu Qing, how do you feel now? This look Is it possible for the stranger A to suppress and imprison the ghost king you are carrying? "
As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards General Chu Dou.
Even though he felt that the ghost king in Chu Dou was stirring, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour, Xuanzong didn't care. The so-called 'ghost king' could not hurt him.
But his actions shocked the tall eunuch.
The eunuch screamed in a hurry, stopped in front of Emperor Xuanzong, begged repeatedly, and finally stopped Emperor Xuanzong seven steps away from General Chu Dou.
"His Majesty……"
Chu Dou's words came from the frost-made armor, and there was a bit of embarrassment and a bit of surprise in his voice. He put on his armor and bowed to the saint. His voice became more and more ashamed and he said: "I don't know that this armor is so mysterious. It's Trying to try it with the ghost king that you have contained within yourself, this armor has imprisoned the ghost king in the subject, and the fierce ghost can no longer return to the body of the subject..."
"The evil spirit in your body has been transferred to this human armor?!" Xuanzong looked surprised and looked at Su Wu aside.
Su Wu said: "After all, this is the first sect of human armor, and I haven't fully understood the miraculous changes in it. But such a situation should be normal."
This situation is naturally normal.
In real history, bad people created Shengren Jia just to make him a substitute for others to accommodate the world's evil spirits. Su Wu knew this very well, and he was just saying this now just to help Chu Dou - Xuanzong pondered He nodded, looked at Chu Dou who was half-kneeling on the ground, and said: "The evil in your body has been transferred to this human armor. Then you yourself will no longer be able to bring about the death of the Ghost King?"
"I am incompetent."
"No, this is not because you are incompetent.
After all, this is the first case of a stranger, and such a situation was beyond our expectation. Xuanzong waved his hand and said, "Since the strangeness in your body has been transferred to this pair of stranger armor, it can be seen that you are surprisingly compatible with this pair of armor. I think you also like this pair of stranger armor."
In this way, Zhang Qing dedicated this first sect of human armor created by bad people to me, and I will give it to you. Chu Qing, you should make good use of this artifact with you. "
When Chu Dou heard Xuanzong's words, his armor-clad body trembled slightly.
He saluted Emperor Xuanzong again and said in an excited voice: "I thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Get up!" Xuanzong raised his hand to help Chu Dou, who was kneeling on the ground, up. He then asked Su Wu beside him, "Who made this group of stranger armor? I will also reward the officials who made this group of stranger armor. With this first group of stranger armor, it will be a piece of cake to make the second and third groups of stranger armor.
Now the defense force in the Forbidden City is weak. If all the guards in the Forbidden City can wear this "strange man armor", the Forbidden City and even Chang'an will be safe."
"This armor was made by me A good friend and the craftsmen of the Divine Works Bureau worked hard to create it.
It is not easy to create a living armor. Although the first living armor has been released, it has only allowed the Divine Works Bureau to accumulate some experience. It is too early to talk about equipping the imperial guards with this armor. "Su Wu raised his eyes and looked at Xuanzong, "What's more, the bad people are investigating the strange things in the world and facing the fierce strange. They have not yet been able to get a set of living armor to protect them, let alone the imperial guards who are now living in Chang'an, which is extremely safe?"
