I Can’t Be a Sword God

These days, Bailang Country is really full of wind and clouds.

Everything started from the marriage of the princess of the Heluo Dynasty. Afterwards, several white wolf kings who planned to marry the princess died tragically due to various reasons. It was not until the former prime minister Shilong became the new master of Bailang Kingdom and did not intend to marry the princess that this dangerous trend was stopped.

I won't go into details about the deaths of the previous White Wolf Kings. In short, when the war finally subsided, the domestic situation was still turbulent.

Although the new king Shilong sits in the capital and has won the support of most officials and subjects, the coalition forces brought in by him are entrenched within the borders, and it seems that they are ready to make another wave at any time. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that they just want to take advantage of the domestic turmoil in Bailang and grab as much profit as possible.

However, there are several generals holding flags in the country who refuse to accept Shilong's rule, and are ready to support what they believe to be the orthodoxy of Bailang Kingdom.

The war could recur at any time, and the people in the country were panicked, and a large number of people fled every day.

At this moment of internal and external difficulties, three supernatural Zen masters appeared.

They are the three disciples of the Baozi generation under the Aurora Bodhisattva in the Western Regions. Now they bid farewell to their masters and enter the world to practice, and they are called the Three Treasures National Teacher in Bailang.

Among them, Bao'an, the master of the great country, has boundless mana. He is a disciple who was once evaluated by Aurora Bodhisattva as possibly surpassing himself.

The master of the two kingdoms, Bao Jie, has no hindrance in eloquence, profound wisdom, not only has extremely high cultivation, but also is a capable person in governing the country.

Baolilong, the master of the Three Kingdoms, is a noble dragon who is willing to practice and serve under the seat of Aurora Bodhisattva. Now he has cultivated the true way and entered the world.

As soon as these three people entered Bailang Kingdom, it was like a needle of calmness dropped on the rough sea.

Relying on their perfect tongue and of course the prestige of Aurora Bodhisattva, the three Zen masters persuaded the troops from the four countries to retreat without a single soldier. Bailang Kingdom did not lose even an inch of its territory.

Immediately afterwards, the three of them shot again and beheaded all the self-reliant generals overnight, leaving only one general, Shinan.

The next day, the heads of those generals were all hung on the top of the capital by Shilong.

One must know that those generals who can dominate in Bailang country also have many masters under their command. And the three Zen masters did this almost effortlessly, which shows their terrifying strength.

Seeing this, General Shinan stopped stalemate and directly led his troops to the capital to have a final duel with Shilong.

Of course, the content of the duel is not about sword-to-blade confrontation, but fighting skills.

In the Western Regions, Buddhism has always been respected, and most countries in the Western Regions regard Buddhism as the state religion, and it is precisely because of this that the Aurora Bodhisattva is supremely respected. There are actually very few countries that use Taoism as the state religion like Jinque Country, and most of them are only possible in countries close to Heluo.

However, when Bailang Kingdom first rose to power, it was born in a reckless background and was too heavy to slaughter, so it was not recognized by the four Buddhist sects, so it chose Taoism as its state religion. The former national teacher had a good relationship with the general Shinan, and this time he also supported him.

This fight took place between the former national teacher and the three Zen masters.

The three Zen masters did not bully the less with the more, but went up one by one and fought three times with the former national master. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the former national teacher actually lost all three games.

This battle was defeated and lost, and Shinan also recognized Shillong as the new king according to the agreement.

The incidental bet is that the state religion has changed from Taoism to Buddhism, and the original state religion disciples will serve as coolies to build a star bead pagoda for the new king, which will be used to enshrine the same national treasure presented to the new king by the three state teachers.

Since then, there was a scene that the master and apprentice saw when they entered the city gate.

Taoist priests were driven into slavery by monks.

...

After listening to the general's narration, the group will also arrive in front of King Bailang's palace.

Duranke sighed and said, "How can the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism come to this..."

Yu Qi'an shook his head and said: "It looks like a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, but it's actually just a power struggle. Those three Zen masters who practiced in the world want to establish their own authority in Bailang Kingdom, so they will naturally overthrow the old one. State religion. I'm more concerned with..."

He looked at the general and asked, "General, dare I ask that this pagoda is called the Star Bead Pagoda, and the treasure of the country enshrined in it is the legendary Star Bead?"

Wang Longqi smiled and said: "How fresh, can there be no star beads in the Star Bead Pagoda?"

Yu Qi'an didn't look at him, but asked back: "Is there definitely a wife in the wife cake?"

"..."

After being silent for a while, the general still replied: "Although there is no wife in the wife cake, there are indeed star beads in the Star Bead Pagoda."

"It seems..." The old Taoist rubbed his chin, "This is really the right time to come to Bailang Kingdom."

Before arriving at the palace, after the general gave a briefing, he handed over the group of people to the palace guards to lead them, and went back to guard the city gate on their own.

And the palace servants leading the way in front didn't say much, just said: "The monarch is busy with government affairs and has no time to meet all the envoys for the time being. Now the slaves are going to bring you to meet the First Prince of our country."

"The eldest prince is also very good." Yu Qi'an said with a calm smile.

Anyway, no one is going on a mission in good faith, so naturally they don't care who they are meeting.

Not long after, he walked through many palace corridors and came to a large hall.

Sitting in front of the hall was a handsome young man in Chinese clothes, wearing the unique aristocratic costumes of Bailang Kingdom, waiting for everyone alone.

The man from the palace had already introduced that this is the eldest son of the new king Shilong, named Shi Jie. That is, in Bailang Kingdom, the new eldest prince.

After arriving, he stood up enthusiastically, probably wanting to say something of welcome, but he was taken aback when he saw the appearance of the mission.

Three generations of Taoist priests, old, middle-aged and young, a wretched man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a little girl who doesn't seem to have a high IQ...

This combination is more like bringing a family to the banquet. If you want to say an envoy, it is difficult to judge which envoy is the lead envoy for a while.

In the end, it was Old Du who spoke first, saluted, and said nondescriptly: "The Jinque Kingdom Mission has met the Prince of Bailang Kingdom."

Fortunately, Shi Jie is also the prince who drives the ducks to the shelves, and he doesn't pass any national rituals, so he was afraid of embarrassing himself. Seeing the other party so casually, it's exactly what he wanted.

He also waved his hands loudly, "Hahaha, my name is Shi Jie. A few days ago, I became a registered disciple of Aurora Bodhisattva by the Master of the Great Kingdom on behalf of his master, and I was given the name 'Gem Jie'."

Li Chu couldn't help but look at him more, and felt that this person was a bit more noble.

After the two parties agreed on their names, they presented their credentials.

Empress Mingyan's letter of state stated that the purpose of sending the mission was to inform the countries in the Western Regions that she was about to ascend the throne, from a queen to a queen, and this is hereby announced.

But Yu Qi'an improvised, and said: "This mission, apart from announcing the Queen's enthronement. In fact, the Queen sent us to Bailang Kingdom, and she also wanted us to observe the completion of the Star Pearl Tower."

Hearing this, Shi Jie smiled and said: "That's just right, the Star Bead Tower will be completed in less than seven days, and you can just have fun in my Bailang country."

As he said that, he suddenly glanced at Wang Longqi, and said with a smile, "If you're not mistaken, this envoy is also a senior literati..."

"Hahaha..." Wang Longqi immediately nodded his head clearly, "As soon as I entered the door, I could tell that His Royal Highness also..."

The two looked at each other, showing a smile of sympathy between literati and refined scholars.

"I'll entertain you in the city when I'm free these few days, and drink tea together when I have time."

Shi Jie finally left a promise between men, and sent the palace staff to send the mission out of the palace and to the residence of the posthouse.

After taking his seat in the posthouse, Wang Longqi praised: "This eldest prince is really a wonderful person, I am very optimistic about him."

"Yes, our eldest prince is bold and forthright, and has been praised in the capital in the early years." The palace said: "The day before yesterday, the king was still saying in the court that the eldest prince should marry Princess Heluo as soon as possible, and then Just establish the crown prince. The subjects of Bailang Kingdom feel that the First Prince will definitely be a good monarch."

After all, the palace man explained some more things, and then set off to return to the palace.

After closing the door, Wang Longqi became expressionless in an instant.

"What's wrong?" Old Du asked.

Wang Longqi said in a murderous voice: "This eldest prince...he doesn't look like a good person at first sight, I wish he could die quickly."
