Chapter 35: Subduing the Dragon Needs a Real Arhat(2/3)
"Hey, that's fine. Naturally, it's not convenient for me to stop the queen from entering the back mountain, but as long as that person is there, even the queen can't get close to Master Du Qing Jie."
Master Sengzhi nodded slightly, then turned to Takahashi and said,
"Today I have to trouble you to stay here again.
Don't invite outsiders to meet here again, otherwise it will be trouble for everyone."
The nun in white respectfully said yes and watched the Hu brothers and sisters disappear into the back hall.
Seeing that both of them were far away, she took out a long box from her arms, and the aroma of sandalwood instantly filled the hall.
As the mouth of the box opened, a more intense and refreshing aroma spurted out.
The nun in white very carefully picked out an off-white incense stick with two onion fingers, and carefully put the wooden box containing the incense into her arms.
She lit the incense by the fire, presented it in front of the Buddha, sat under the Buddha statue and silently chanted the scriptures.
After about half a stick of incense, an insect that looked like some kind of bee buzzed over.
"Ao Hei Sawashi ignored him and died!"
A burst of sweet laughter and a red shadow flashed in following the buzzing.
"My mother-in-law used this beauty and dragon incense to summon me again. Is there anything important?"
"It's Babaoli Dragon Kiss fragrance. There are only three sticks left of the previous fragrance.
But I found that the East China Sea ambergris my sister brought had a similar taste to it, so I made a few more strains just to see if they could make the killer bees react."
"Well, it works the same!
My mother-in-law used to always say that it was so beautiful and so rare,
You see, the Dragon King of the East China Sea is no less impressive, right?"
"You, can you learn some official eloquence carefully?
It is Babaoli dragon kiss incense, because the incense is originally produced in the waters of Babaoli country.
(In the author's case, Berbera was called Bubaoli in the Tang Dynasty, and is now Berbera, Somalia. The Song Dynasty's miscellaneous collection "Lingwai Daida" said that there are many dragons in the West Sea, so this is also true.)
There are many blue whales (white whales, which produce ambergris) in the sea of this country, and it is a major producer of ambergris.
Because killer bees (native to East Africa, hybridized with European bees to become modern killer bees with a keen sense of smell and olfactory memory) are also found in this country, it was previously widely rumored that the killer bees would only react to the ambergris in the Babaoli Country.
Later, some people tried to use ambergris poison to make incense, but it failed to attract the killer bees, so this theory was adopted as a legitimate theory.
I didn’t expect that the ambergris from the East China Sea would be equally useful.”
"Mother-in-law, I think the ingredients used in body poison incense are too mixed, covering up the smell of ambergris.
Or maybe there is some smell that the bees don't like, so they can't attract the bees.
But it has nothing to do with the origin of ambergris saliva."
The nun in white nodded slightly,
"Well, what you said makes sense.
By the way, I called you here today because there is really something important.
The situation on the mountain has been tense recently, and I'm afraid I won't be able to see you often, so I can only explain it once.
The Su Gaoli you assassinated last time is not dead!"
Shiranui Mai was shocked, she bent her legs and covered her lips, widened her eyes, and blurted out,
"Take mud? The enemy is so embarrassed that I have to take off his clothes! He's not dead yet?"
"Well, there is a big man in the back mountain who has good intelligence, and his subordinates made a very detailed report on Su Wo's assassination.
The report praised the assassin as being very professional and the wounds he inflicted were fatal.
It just happened to be handled in time, and Su Wo himself was indeed very lucky, and he actually came back from the critical point of life with damaged organs and blood loss.
Today this big shot called me over. He said that the Japanese party struggle had nothing to do with him and he did not want to get involved, but he hoped that we could restrain ourselves a little at this time.
So don’t try to take action for the time being, we need to wait for a more appropriate time to eliminate all the Maharaja’s targets.”
"Isn't it enough to get rid of Su Gaoli?"
"The monarch's goal is not just to help Dalian of the Ministry of Finance to support the crown prince.
That little Prince Changgu is ridiculous and has a bad reputation throughout the Japanese country, so how can the king support him wholeheartedly?"
The woman in red felt sweat on her forehead and her panting gradually became heavier.
"Ah? Then, what else should we do?"
“The small land of Zhuzi is ultimately inferior to Akijin.
If the king wants to achieve something, he must rely on the power of the three Koreas.
Help Baekje march eastward to Silla, appoint Na to protect Gaya, and then join forces with the peninsula to go to Luo and eliminate traitors, then the world will be settled.
My master's family, the Ji family, was originally a Sanhanshou conferred by the Japanese king.
However, in recent years, the influence of the Soga clan and the Katsuragi clan have infiltrated Baekje and Naina, making the current situation out of the control of the master family.
Especially after Soga Goryeo betrothed his sister to the Shouzi Oshiyama of Renadori Kingdom, our Ji family's influence in Sanhan has been difficult to meet the expectations of the king.
In order to cooperate with the great king's plan for the world, not only Suwa Goryeo should die,
The monkeys in Silla and Gaya should also take the opportunity to eradicate them here.
If the Three Koreans are in chaos, but the Baekje royal family and the strength of my lord's family are not affected, then I, the Ji family, will have a way to seize chestnuts from the fire.
And that will be the time when I, the Ji family, and Lord Tsukushi will achieve great things together and rule by looking at the sea."
The girl in white's eyes suddenly looked as cold as ice.
"But all you have to do now is to lie dormant and endure.
Tolerance is the only way to victory. Do you understand?"
"Hai, Mai will hide and wait for mother-in-law's next instructions!"
"Well, it's not convenient for us to contact you during this period.
But you can go to Fengshi Town to find a person, and just follow his instructions."
After saying this, the nun in white took out a scroll from her sleeve and handed it to Mai.
When Mai unfolded it, she saw a painting of a man's face.
In addition, the address and method of the connection were also noted, and the name of the person was signed - Gao Feiqiao.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the nun in white asked,
"Do you remember?"
"Mai has already noted it down!"
"Okay!" The nun in white reached out to retrieve the scroll and threw it into the incense burner fire, "Go quickly."
Who is this high-flying bird?
As luck would have it, this person was sitting in the Zen room where Qingyun and his party were staying, looking at the unconscious Liu Ying and shaking his head.
Beside him stood three women, their beauty and charm were all extraordinary in the world.
Taste it carefully, and each one is good at winning.
It was Hucaiting, where Yin Seke and Li Mochou stayed to take care of Liu Ying.
"Uncle Master, you don't have any good ideas?"
Hu Caiting asked anxiously.
"Hey, Fei Que just read a few more books on medical skills. Naturally, this knowledge cannot be compared with Mr. Huayang's skills.
Gao really can’t see any clues at the moment.”
"Miss Mochou, brother, did they say when they would be back?"
Miss Mochou looked embarrassed and timidly replied,
"The prince and all the young heroes just said that there is an urgent matter and they need me to take care of young hero Liu on their behalf. But they did not say when they will return."
Although Mochou has told the three people about the assassination in Shensha, her knowledge is limited after all.
As for who the Little Dragon King suspected and where he went, she really had no idea.
Unfortunately, she was helpless against the quick words of the two sisters in front of her. Just when she was at a loss, there was a sound of footsteps and the voices of several men talking gradually approaching.
The three girls listened carefully and realized who was back. They were all overjoyed.
Yin Se, who was still the youngest, couldn't hold it in any longer and threw herself out the door like a colorful butterfly, almost bumping into Qingyun.
"Hey, hey...hey? Junior sister Yin, you are finally back!"
Qingyun was surprised and wanted to dodge at first, thinking that this girl Mochou looked quite calm, how could she be so light-boned right now?
He looked closely and saw that it was Miss Yin. He couldn't help but feel happy, and he quickly picked her up and held her in his arms.
Yin Seke didn't push or avoid him, and took advantage of the situation to lean on Qingyun's shoulder.
The two of them were huddled half a step in front of the door, but just by turning around, the scene became as harmonious as a couple hugging each other.
There was nothing unusual in the eyes of others, but Hu Caiting's face suddenly darkened.
But she also relied on her status as a sworn sister, so she couldn't interrupt directly, so she could only say sourly to Qingyun,
"Oh, it's like looking forward to the stars and the moon, finally meeting your sister Yin?"
Qingyun was still mentally retarded at this age, so he was naturally overjoyed to meet the two girls Hu and Yin again, and finally no longer had to worry about their safety in his heart.
I got carried away for a moment and answered without thinking,
"Fourth sister, if I hadn't been bothered by important things these past few days, I would have wanted to go down the mountain to find you.
But since I'm back, come and be the backbone to save us from having to worry about it.
To be continued...
