Diji Cultivation Manual

Chapter 8. There is a Phoenix Laiyi

Liu Chunian's intuition has always been extremely accurate, and she can't explain why, but it can only be attributed to years of life-and-death experience.

Now she is sitting in this Buddhist hall, but she has this long-lost premonition again.

She thought sarcastically that this Mahayana Buddhist hall is no different from the deep palace of the imperial court. After all, where there are people, there will inevitably be fights.

Subconsciously stroking her sleeves with her fingers, she went through the ins and outs of the matter, and finally gave up somewhat helplessly.

She intervened too little in this matter, and she was really powerless.

Because Emperor Liang showed his ambition at first, and wanted to test her, so she honestly did not interfere in any way.It turned out that Emperor Liang's control over Nanliang was so poor that even Huguo Temple would have problems.

Miss Liu has been in a high position and has been in power for many years. No matter what she does, she always walks on eggshells. She never trusts others. She never thought that she would be carelessly planted in Nanliang today. It is really hard to say.

Fortunately, no one knew her identity, otherwise her fame would be ruined.

Jing Huai was there explaining the ins and outs of the matter hesitantly, Nan Qiao finally figured it out, some couldn't believe that Liu Chunian dared to take such a big risk.

She turned her head to look at Liu Chunian, and said hesitantly, "Master, you..."

"To be reasonable, I didn't expect to take such a big risk at first." Liu Chunian frowned as if he had a headache.

Nan Qiao stood beside her and looked down at her: "Are you for me?"

Liu Chunian thought, no, what do you have that is worth my risk?

But after thinking about it again, if it wasn't for Nan Qiao, why would she come to Huguo Temple to offer incense? Was she bored?

She weighed this question in her mind for a long time, and for a moment she didn't know what was the motive behind taking such a big risk. In the end, she could only blame it on her overflowing sympathy.

"Come on, don't look at me like that." Liu Chunian really couldn't stand Nan Qiao's pitiful expression, and sighed, "If you are moved, just be obedient in the future."

Nan Qiao was a little blocked by her sigh, and felt that it was really hard for her in the past, but in fact, Miss Liu just felt that she was really looking for trouble...

So, don't try to measure Miss Liu's erratic romantic heart with your own sincerity.

Liu Chunian signaled Nan Qiao to sit opposite her, preparing to teach solemnly: "I ask you, why did I give up the plan?"

Nan Qiao had never been asked such a sudden question before, after a moment of stunned, he tentatively replied: "Because there are traitors in Huguo Temple, are you worried about leaving me here?"

"Half of the answer is correct." Liu Chunian propped his chin, and said lazily, "Actually, there are already a lot of guards lurking in Huguo Temple, so it is no problem to ensure your safety. The reason why I gave up is because of Huguo Temple. The temple is supposed to be a very safe place, but it has become out of touch. Then there may be other omissions in places we don't know about. What I worry about is not the known mistakes in Huguo Temple, but Omissions that we haven't been able to spot yet."

"Let me ask you again, what's wrong with that little novice?"

Nan Qiao thought about it, and replied cautiously: "Because he doesn't even know the most basic Buddhist scriptures, and he doesn't look like a monk that should be in Huguo Temple."

"Have you ever wondered why I asked him that question?"

Nan Qiao shook his head, expressing ignorance.

"First of all, his movements to clean up the dishes are too casual, and his brows and eyes are not as steady as a monk should be. So I noticed his hands——there is a scar on the back of the hand, and calluses on the palm. This is a pair of martial arts. the hand of the man."

Liu Chunian sat up straight, and said softly: "One more thing, the Huguo Temple knew that the emperor would come to worship the Buddha today, and all the affairs should have been prepared, and the person in charge should also be familiar with the Buddhist scriptures. The monk is right, it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary monk who has just entered the temple to receive distinguished guests. This is also a self-evident rule, but you have never noticed it before."

Nan Qiao took out all the past and thought about it carefully, and it was exactly the same as what she said.

The two chatted for a long time, and it was time to return to the palace, but no one dared to urge them.

Liu Chunian dealt with Nan Qiao without saying a word, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

After waiting for another stick of incense, the guards who were supposed to come still did not come.

Liu Chunian's expression finally became serious, and she whispered to herself, "Could it be that Emperor Liang just took this opportunity to get rid of Nan Qiao?"

Before Nan Qiao could say anything, she denied the idea herself.

If Emperor Liang really wanted to get rid of Nan Qiao, then there was no need to go all the way to the Kingdom of Jin to ask Emperor Nan Qiao for a master, let alone let this drama happen.

What's more, after coming to Nanliang for the past few days, she watched with cold eyes. Emperor Liang really did his best to Nan Qiao, and so did his biological father.

"I can't wait any longer." Liu Chunian got up and told Jinghuai, "Give the curtain hat to Diji Nanqiao, and leave the substitute in Huguo Temple."

"This, how can this be done?" Jing Huai didn't expect that she would make such a decision suddenly, and she retorted in panic, "This is too risky, the emperor's daughter can't do this."

Liu Chunian finally didn't have the patience to say anything to Jinghuai, she looked at Jinghuai coldly: "I'm not discussing with you, either Diji Nanqiao will go with us, or you can leave me alone."

Her attitude is very tough, and she is no longer lazy in the past.

Nan Qiao's eyes turned between Jinghuai and Liu Chunian a few times, and finally looked at Jinghuai: "Listen to Master."

Now that she had spoken, Jinghuai was powerless to stop her, so she had to obey Liu Chunian's order.

Liu Chunian helped Nan Qiao onto Di Ji's sedan chair, and then followed behind.

After getting in the car, she took Nan Qiao's valance and put it on her hair, then turned to get off the car again: "Although it may not be useful, let's try it."

Nan Qiao suddenly realized that she was going to pretend to be herself, in case a traitor would assassinate her, so as to disturb her sight.

"Master, you don't need to do this." Nan Qiao reached out and grabbed her sleeve tightly, preventing her from getting out of the car.

Liu Chunian turned around and glanced at her, then looked at her sternly: "The son of a thousand gold can't sit still, you are the emperor of a country, you should take care of yourself."

What she said was just and righteous, and she never considered that she was also the "son of a thousand gold" in her mouth.

She stretched out her hand and pulled the sleeve out of Nan Qiao's hand, and calmed down a little: "Don't worry, there may not be assassins, let alone I know martial arts."

If she had a choice, Liu Chunian didn't want to gamble on it, but the matter had come to this point, so she couldn't help herself to think about it.

She and Jing Huai sat together in the carriage when they came, weighing the matter over and over in her mind, wondering which step went wrong.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, she completely gave up wasting energy on this matter.

When this matter went wrong, most of the responsibility had to be borne by Emperor Liang, and it really had nothing to do with her.

Although she comforted Nan Qiao by saying that maybe there would be no assassins, she had already decided in her heart that this matter would be difficult, so she was not surprised when the carriage stopped suddenly.

Emperor Liang was too full of things and pushed the person behind the scenes too tightly, and that person absolutely couldn't let go of this opportunity.

Liu Chunian lifted the curtain of the car to look. The guards accompanying the car were fighting with the black-clothed masked assassin, and the Ouchi guards who were supposed to ambush here were nowhere to be seen.

It was probably because her cover-up method really worked, the black-clothed masked assassins mainly focused on the car where she was in the attack.

According to the original plan, Diji Nanqiao should stay in the Huguo Temple, and she took the substitute maid on the road.But she changed her mind temporarily, left the double maid in Huguo Temple, and forcibly took Nan Qiao down the mountain.In addition, she purposely got into this car with a veil, the assassins could not help but think that the real Di Ji was in this car.

Liu Chunian raised his eyes and glanced at Jing Huai. Jing Huai hesitated for a moment, then lifted the curtain of the car and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you assassinate Di Ji! If Di Ji suffers any damage, this is a serious crime against the Jiu Clan!"

Seeing that she could stand up so readily and be a target, Liu Chunian looked at her with admiration, and slightly forgave her for being entangled.

After Jinghuai's threats, those men in black became more and more sure that the real Diji Nanqiao was in this car, and relaxed their attack on Diji's chariot.

Liu Chunian sat safely in the carriage, still calm in the shadow of swords and swords around him.

Jinghuai didn't expect her to be so calm, she was a little surprised, but she felt a little calm.

Suddenly, there was the sound of feathered arrows piercing through the air.

Liu Chunian yanked Jing Huai violently, and the feather arrow brushed past her temples, narrowly avoiding it.

Although he was prepared, Liu Chunian inevitably frowned when he saw the assassin using the feathered arrow: "Your Majesty did a good job!"

As if thinking that things weren't chaotic enough, Nan Qiao stepped out of the imperial concubine's sedan chair and ran into the dense forest, as if trying to attract an assassin.

Even though Liu Chunian noticed this, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's crazy! Who wants her to come out and save her self-righteously!"

Fortunately, the clothes of the two were almost the same today, and the assassins couldn't tell who was the real Nanqiao Diji, and they thought she was the master who came out to "relieve" Diji.

Liu Chunian made a quick decision, jumped out of the carriage wearing a veiled hat, lifted his skirt slightly, and chased after Nan Qiao.

Seeing that the two had actually gathered in one place, the assassin immediately stopped worrying about where to attack, and wanted to chase them all together.

But fortunately, the bodyguards accompanying the car were also carefully selected, and the assassin couldn't break through the defense for a while.
