Chapter 317 Master Chenghai

Princess Ankang and her group stood in the distance, watching silently.

Although they recognized that the eunuchs in flowery clothes confronting the monks of Ci'en Temple were from the palace, they did not step forward to help casually.

Who knows which prince or princess caused the trouble here? Princess Ankang and her group had no intention of getting involved casually.

Li Xuan looked up at the nearby Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

This tower was indeed built very high. In the night, it was like a dark pillar that supported the sky, connecting the sky and the earth, connecting the earth and the stars and the moon in the sky together.

And now they could clearly see that there was a flash of fire in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, as if someone was climbing up with a torch.

"I don't know what treasures are in this tower that have led people to take such a risk."

At this time, the monks of Ci'en Temple began to shout again:

"Let those who are climbing the tower come down immediately and leave quickly."

"Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."

The monks of Ci'en Temple would not have been so long-winded if they had not seen the extraordinary strength of the eunuch in front of them, and a group of ignorant people beside them.

Fortunately, the people in the tower of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda were not fast, and they had only climbed to the second floor.

But if they continued to let it go, it would be absolutely impossible. At that time, these monks in front of them would have to be taught a lesson by the abbot of Ci'en Temple.

But the eunuchs in flower clothes who confronted the monks of Ci'en Temple were not moved at all. They still stood in front of the intersection of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, blocking everyone from approaching the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Seeing that their persuasion was useless, the monks of Ci'en Temple immediately ignored everything else and began to perform their duties.

"Set up the formation!"

The leading monk shouted, and the other monks immediately waved their long sticks and started to move.

The monks of Ci'en Temple were making dazzling movements, and the long sticks in their hands kept making gorgeous stick flowers, which made people dizzy.

In such a short time, they quickly surrounded the eunuchs in flowery clothes who were blocking the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

The monks of Ci'en Temple surrounded the eunuchs in flowery clothes, and then began to circle slowly, and they turned faster and faster. The long sticks in their hands hit the ground in a mess, making a harsh noise without rhythm, disturbing the consciousness of the people in the formation.

The eunuchs in flowery clothes also reacted immediately, standing in a circle with their backs against each other, and set up their own postures, ready to fight back at any time.

Li Xuan watched from the side and felt that there was something about the formation of these monks. As they turned in circles and tapped the ground, their auras were constantly rising.

These auras merged together, making the people trapped in the formation feel more and more pressured.

"A combined attack formation?"

"It's interesting."

It was the first time that Li Xuan saw such a combined attack formation, so he opened his eyes wide and observed it carefully.

It turned out that as the circle turned, the number of monks on the side was getting smaller and smaller.

Those eunuchs in flowery clothes were trapped in the formation and were greatly disturbed. They didn't notice that as the formation continued, people on the monks' side kept leaving the formation and heading straight to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Seeing the monks seize the opportunity one by one and sneak into the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the chaos, Li Xuan almost laughed out loud.

"Well, not only the formation, but also the art of war, right?"

By the time the flower-clothed eunuchs trapped in the formation felt something was wrong, nearly one-third of the monks had already entered the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and were obviously heading for the person climbing the tower.

"Oh no!"

"They've entered the tower, stop them quickly!"

The flower-clothed eunuchs who realized it later were furious, and they never thought that there would be a day when they would be fooled by the monks.

These monks kept turning in circles, and they thought it was a special formation.

Their master told them to stop all those who prevented them from climbing the tower.

At first, these flower-clothed eunuchs were happy that the monks of Ci'en Temple wasted their time.

As a result, these monks were very cunning. Under the cover of the formation, they sneaked into the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and went straight to their master.

"Bald donkey, you dare to cheat, watch me do this."

The flowery eunuchs trapped in the formation were furious and started fighting with the monks of Ci'en Temple.

The monks' formation could not continue, and the people on both sides immediately started fighting.

On the side, Princess Ankang and others watched the show.

Although they didn't know who the person climbing the tower was, looking at the current scene, it was a big mess.

Ci'en Temple was quite prestigious in the capital and was loved by the people.

Even if they were royal descendants, if they messed around in Ci'en Temple, they would definitely be punished later.

Even if it was the eighth prince, he had to think twice before he dared to offend Ci'en Temple.

I don't know who dared to take such a risk.

"Old Eight, is there any treasure in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda?"

Princess Yuan'an asked curiously.

Otherwise, she couldn't understand why someone would do such a thing.

Moreover, judging from the reaction of the monks in Ci'en Temple, there are indeed things they care about.

"What treasures are there?"

The Eighth Prince said affirmatively.

"Inside the Big Wild Goose Pagoda are some Buddhist scriptures, as well as the relics of the monks and the souvenirs they carried with them during their lifetime."

"It's really a stretch to say that these things are treasures."

The Eighth Prince seemed to know the situation in Ci'en Temple very well, and he also knew what was stored in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

"Then why do you go to all this trouble?"

Princess Yuan An pointed to the chaotic situation in front of her.

The monks in Ci'en Temple and the eunuchs in flower clothes were fighting each other.

The eunuchs in flower clothes were stronger, but they had no intention of hurting anyone, and they had fewer people.

Although several people had already entered the tower to chase the monks in Ci'en Temple, the situation under the tower was deadlocked.

Both sides were waiting for the people in the tower to decide the winner, and their hands slowly began to maintain a tacit understanding.

And as expected, changes occurred in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

The fire that was originally slowly rising gradually stopped at the third floor, and the fire was swaying, as if it could go out at any time.

At this time, a head suddenly popped out of a window on the third floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Due to the distance and the dim sky, they couldn't see who it was from below.

But the next moment, a voice shouted down:

"Old Eight, come up and save me!"

"Ah!!!"

After a scream, the head immediately went back.

It sounded like a woman, and although she tried her best to shout loudly, she couldn't hide the weakness in her voice.

Everyone was stunned, and then looked at the Eighth Prince on the side.

The Eighth Prince looked embarrassed, and then said helplessly:

"Why is it her..."

The Eighth Prince looked reluctant, and was obviously not willing to help.

But for some reason, the Eighth Prince seemed to have to step forward to help.

Those who can call the Eighth Prince "Old Eight" must be their brothers and sisters, but Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan'an are very unfamiliar with the previous voice.

"Eighth brother, who is on the tower?"

Princess Ankang asked curiously.

"That's our Seventh Sister."

"Go up and help, don't let them fight anymore."

"Seventh Sister has no ill intentions. I have talked to the abbot, and Ci'en Temple should not care."

The Eighth Prince couldn't help shaking his head and led people to persuade them to stop fighting.

"Seventh Sister?"

Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan'an looked at each other and immediately remembered the princess who had dark circles under her eyes, lying on a stretcher, and drawing lots on the stage in the Imperial Garden that day.

"It turned out to be her."

The two princesses suddenly realized, and judging from the situation, the Eighth Prince and the Seventh Princess looked quite familiar.

Since the Eighth Prince had gone to persuade them to stop fighting, Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan'an naturally couldn't continue to watch from the side.

They ordered the flowery eunuchs around them to come forward to help.

Seeing that the situation was taking a turn for the worse, the monks of Ci'en Temple immediately put away their fancy formations and formed a circle to deal with the siege of the flowery eunuchs.

"I knew you were all in the same group!"

The leading monk said angrily.

He had issued a warning at the beginning, but the group had no intention of avoiding it.

As expected, they seized the opportunity to attack them.

"Who are you? Why do you break into the forbidden area of ​​Ci'en Temple?"

"I advise all donors to put down their butcher knives and turn back."

"It's not too late to retreat now."

The leading monk tried to persuade the Eighth Prince and others, mainly to delay time until the abbot brought people to support.

The Eighth Prince had no intention of harming these monks.

In the end, they were not right.

The Eighth Prince looked back at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and then sent his flowery eunuchs to help.

He had almost guessed what the Seventh Princess was doing in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Now he had no choice but to help the Seventh Princess while the abbot was still here.

By then, the Seventh Princess would naturally leave after achieving her goal.

But at this moment, a figure rushed from a distance and arrived in front of everyone in a few leaps.

This was an old monk with a white beard, wrinkles all over his face, and his eyes were so wrinkled that he could hardly open them.

"Master Chenghai!"

The Eighth Prince couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the person coming.

Then he quickly shouted:

"Master, wait a minute!"

Master Chenghai landed in front of the Eighth Prince and stood still, clasped his hands together and bowed to him.

"Your Highness, why didn't you say hello to me when you came to Ci'en Temple."

"Uh, how dare I bother Master Chenghai? I just brought a few sisters to participate in the activities of the Yulan Festival today."

While the Eighth Prince was talking, he quietly stepped back a few steps and stood beside Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan'an, then quietly winked at the eunuchs in flowery clothes, asking them not to continue surrounding the monks of Ci'en Temple.

Just as the Eighth Prince was about to continue explaining, the monks of Ci'en Temple immediately came to complain:

"Abbot, they broke into the Big Wild Goose Pagoda."

"There is another group of people in the pagoda. Several brothers went up to chase them, but they haven't come down yet."

"They sent a lot of people in to help. We can't delay any longer."

After the monk finished speaking, he looked up at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Coincidentally, the fire that had been paused on the third floor for a long time moved to the fourth floor.

The Eighth Prince knew the temper of Master Chenghai very well. He was not a good person to talk to.

"Misunderstanding, all misunderstanding!"

In response, Master Chenghai just snorted coldly, looked up at the fire in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and then said:

"Stop!"

The next moment, an inexplicable pressure spread from Master Chenghai, and then Master Chenghai's figure disappeared instantly.

Everyone present maintained their original posture, motionless.

Even Li Xuan was the same.

It's not that they don't want to move, but they can't move, as if they were hit by a spell of immobilization.

The passage of time suddenly began to be long, and Li Xuan could only move his eyes.

He looked at Princess Ankang and Yu'er and found that they were like stone sculptures, even the focus of their eyes was fixed, without the slightest ripple.

"A master of the third rank!?"

Li Xuan had seen this kind of ability similar to the means of immortals in Ye Lao before.

I didn't expect that the abbot of Ci'en Temple was also such a master.

After an unknown period of time, Li Xuan was the first to break free from the restraints and began to move freely, and the passage of time returned to normal.

Then, the flowery eunuchs resumed their actions, and stood guard in front of the three princes with full vigilance.

They nervously searched for Master Chenghai's traces, but found that he had disappeared in front of them.

If the other party had really fought with them before, the time they lost consciousness before would have been enough for them to die several times.

After Master Chenghai showed his ability before, these flowery eunuchs immediately understood who this person was.

They looked at each other, their eyes full of fear.

And then, more and more people recovered.

Li Xuan found that the time they were controlled by Master Chenghai was not long, but when they were controlled, the time they could feel would be slowed down, which gave them the illusion that they were controlled for a long time.

"Outrageous ability!"

After Li Xuan came to his senses and realized what Master Chenghai had done, he was shocked.

Just spitting out a simple word could make everyone present lose consciousness for so long.

If this happened in a battle, wouldn't they be killed?

"Old Ye is like this, and so is Master Chenghai. How come all the upper third rank masters are so terrifying?"

"Do they all start cultivating immortals when they reach the upper third rank?"

Li Xuan hasn't even cultivated his true qi yet, but he found that there are already people in this world using immortal methods.

Such a shock was really big for him.

"Ah Xuan, what happened to me before?"

Princess Ankang came back to her senses in a daze, and asked Li Xuan in confusion.

Li Xuan wrote on her palm with his tail, guessing that this was Master Chenghai's ability.

Princess Ankang was shocked by this explanation, and asked hesitantly:

"Is this still something that martial arts can do?"

But before Li Xuan could continue to answer, Master Chenghai's figure floated down from the sky.

There were many people falling with him.

"Slow down."

Master Chenghai whispered another word.

As a result, many people who fell from the sky with him suddenly felt the wind under their feet, supporting their descending bodies, and finally fell gently to the ground, safe and sound.

These people kept their original movements until they landed, and it was obvious that they were controlled by Master Chenghai just like Princess Ankang and others before.

Among these people, Li Xuan saw the Seventh Princess who had met once before in the Imperial Garden, and her eyes were still dark.
