East Palace.
"Your Highness, I have conveyed His Majesty's intention. Please leave as soon as possible." The purple-robed eunuch bowed respectfully.
Jiang Yu's eyelids twitched and he asked:
"What other decrees did the emperor issue?"
"Your Highness, I think you should stop caring so much about political affairs..."
The purple-robed eunuch wanted to refuse, but when he met Jiang Yu's eyes, he sighed.
Even if he didn't say it, as the crown prince, he would be able to find out from other sources. After all, His Majesty's edict had to be announced in the court.
Then he repeated the imperial edict in a low voice.
"Are we going to send our mother to the Pagoda Temple?" Jiang Yu frowned tightly.
Whenever talking about temples, my mother always expressed disgust. Even if my father would occasionally go to the Zen temple to burn incense, he would claim to be sick and not go.
"It's about personally arranging the marriage, not just granting it."
Jiang Yu showed a mocking smile: "Father doesn't even care about the affairs of us brothers and sisters, but rather an outsider..."
"Your Highness, let's set off quickly." The purple-robed eunuch felt his hair stand on end.
He was afraid of hearing something that would be difficult to say to His Majesty. If he did not report it, he would offend the emperor, and if he did report it, he would offend the future emperor.
.....
Pagoda Temple.
The team escorting Chu Ge just stopped, and the palace maids waited on the pale Chu Ge and whispered:
"Your Majesty is truly cruel. Your Majesty is still ill and hasn't recovered yet, yet you let you come to this cold and lonely place with green lamps and ancient Buddhas."
"What's the noise outside?" Queen Chu Ge's voice was indeed weak.
"Your Highness, it's the monks from the Hanging Temple and the Dragon Elephant Temple who came to visit and discuss Dharma and Zen. They've just finished their visit."
"How is the result?"
"A young monk silenced all the monks in their argument."
The maid wanted to tell some funny stories to cheer Chu Ge up, so she said vividly:
"The monks at Longxiang Temple weren't good with words, and they were defeated after just a few words. They almost got angry and started fighting, but a monk named Zang'ai said he had heard a few questions from a friend and wanted to ask the monks at Baota Temple to solve them."
Hearing the name Murong Xiao, Chu Ge frowned, as if she was reminded of a bad person:
"What did he ask?"
"Who am I, where do I come from, and where am I going?"
"He is naturally Zang Ai. Apart from his Buddhist name, he also has a secular name..." Chu Ge paused here, seeming a little absent-minded.
The maid didn't notice that something was wrong with the Queen and continued to chatter:
"The monks at the Pagoda Temple gave the same answer, but then Monk Zang Ai said, 'I can be called Zang Ai, anyone can be called Zang Ai, it's just a code name. Without this code name, who is he anymore?'"
“Who is he….Who am I…”
Chu Ge muttered to himself, his eyes suddenly becoming fixed.
Her pale cheeks began to turn gray, a sign of decay...
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! You..." The palace maid was terrified.
"Amitabha... Goddess, you are obsessed."
A burst of Buddhist chanting sounded, and the scriptures carried the gilded glory of saving all living beings, which cleansed the soul when heard.
In front of the Pagoda Temple, a monk with a solemn appearance stood there at some point. He was short in stature, with a very large face and particularly compact facial features, like a Maitreya Buddha with disproportionate facial features.
The waves of tranquil Buddhist music woke Queen Chu Ge from her dream and restored her composure.
Her eyes regained their sharpness. "Is that monk Zang Ai a disciple of the Hanging Temple?"
"That's true, but the Zen debate doesn't count as a loss for our temple."
The short monk clasped his hands together and said, "The monk Zang Ai, whose secular name is Murong Xiao, is a good friend of the renowned Young Master Li in the Imperial Capital. His three questions were also raised by Young Master Li."
“It’s him again…”
Queen Chu Ge smiled coldly.
She lost everything this time, her mistake was not taking that boy into consideration.
After all, no matter how brilliant or talented one is, what kind of waves can one stir up? What was so great about Jingtai's talent back then, even rivaling the Taizu Wudi? Without reaching the seventh realm, he was not even a chess piece.
I never expected that it was such a person...
Fortunately, he is going to die.
"Your Majesty has always disliked the Buddhist Kingdom preaching in Dayu. Would you like to listen to what I, a humble monk, have to say about Buddhism?"
"Emperor Wu destroyed Buddhism, but Your Majesty is quite concerned about worshipping Buddha."
"The Buddha only wants all living beings to reach the other shore. Buddhism is no one's enemy, my lady."
...
Li Mo regained consciousness, but he knew he was not awake because he did not feel any pain throughout his body.
There seemed to be many sounds around, and many strange visions emerged, colorful and bizarre.
"Where is this?"
"Is this a dream or is he really dead..."
Li Mo was confused.
[Hello host, this system is still available. ]
[You have multiple rewards to claim. This system will prioritize showing you the most valuable ones.]
Hearing the system's voice, Li Mo felt inexplicably relieved.
Surrounded by moonlight, he roughly understood his situation. It was probably Bingtuozi who used some means to protect his body.
They are probably trying to find a way to save him now.
Having said that, since the system is here.
This reward is probably unprecedented, right?
"The system has always been very reliable. I hope the rewards this time can be used..."
Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief. He was no longer worried that he would not wake up, or that he would lose all his martial arts skills when he woke up.
[Please rest assured, the system's products are of the highest quality and are all tailored to the host's needs.]
"That's good."
Student Xiao Li cannot claim it, but plans to take a look at the rewards first.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully helping 'Ying Bing' and preventing him from being trapped in the collapse of the Tianhuang Domain.]
[Investment Feedback: Dragon and Phoenix Embryo Magic Pill! ]
The words that appeared before my eyes were so bright!
"Dragon and Phoenix...Primordial Embryo...Divine Pill!"
Student Li, who was in the true spirit state, leaned back slightly.
Listen, this is a domineering name.
Look at this full-scale special effect!
The system never engages in false advertising. This magical pill must live up to its name and must be a genuine magical pill!
I heard from Old Xue that the magic pill has not appeared in the nine heavens and ten earths for many years. Perhaps there are still some in existence, but most of the forces that possess them dare not grow.
Even the seventh realm may not be able to keep the kind of things that can take away the fortune of heaven and earth.
"Sounds like it's good for shaping the body. Am I saved?"
[Not only does it shape the body, it also has miraculous effects in nurturing the true spirit.]
The system confirmed his idea.
"Then I'll take it as soon as I wake up..."
[Host, friendly reminder, it's best not to eat it. ]
"Why?" Li Mo was stunned.
[This pill is indeed used to shape the physical body and the true spirit, but it is best consumed by women.]
"Why?"
Student Li was confused: "Forget it, let's take a look at the detailed introduction of the magic pill."
The system was silent for a moment, and finally the following words appeared:
[Dragon and Phoenix Primordial Pill]: "After taking this, your next pregnancy will definitely be twins, a boy and a girl, giving birth to both a son and a daughter!"
"Note: This magical pill ignores all realms. Once taken, the Fairy Empress will give birth to twins!"
Li Mo: “…”
Oh, this is how we shape the body and nourish the spirit.
Just remove your Yuan character and it will be called the magic pill for dragon and phoenix twins!
