Chapter 274 Empress Dowager Cixi and Xuan Kui in the Golden Palace
"Hmph! Seeing you all makes me furious, like a volcanic eruption!" Empress Dowager Cixi said, slamming her hand on the dragon throne.
One corner of the dragon throne was smashed to pieces.
At that moment, Cixi's cold gaze seemed to freeze people in place.
She held the magic lamp tightly in her hand, like a deity who held the power of life and death.
The royal prince looked at them with an expression that seemed to say, "You only make a few hundred dollars a month, yet you dare to risk your lives against them."
........................
She fiddled with the magic lamp in her hand, gazing at the zombies, including Xuan Kui, opposite her.
The purpose of this visit is to discuss the issue, mainly because the oppressive atmosphere from the Taoist sect is too strong, forcing them to face reality.
The magic lamp in Cixi's hand was undoubtedly her deadly weapon!
Some time ago, Mao Xiaofang returned to Gantian Town and was shocked to discover the existence of the Corpse Army.
When he witnessed this scene, he meticulously arranged the Nine Lotus Lantern Array near Sweet Town, attempting to trap them within it.
This formation, like an impregnable fortress, truly trapped them firmly.
However, she easily summoned the genie and shattered Mao Xiaofang's formation with overwhelming force!
She then continued her journey on the Northern Expedition.
As for the genie, Mao Xiaofang questioned him about why he was aiding and abetting evil.
The genie calmly replied, "Good and evil are merely a matter of a single thought, depending solely on your stance. Moreover, as long as you hold the magic lamp, you can ask me for help. Everything is predestined, and fortune and misfortune are determined by Heaven. How can you presume to judge what is good and evil?"
Mao Xiaofang was furious upon hearing this, but he also knew that the genie's words were not without reason.
After all, how can we arbitrarily determine good and evil?
But he felt that he was aiding and abetting evil.
So he engaged in a fierce battle with the genie, but due to the vast difference in their strength, he was ultimately defeated and had no choice but to return to seclusion to break through his limitations.
This is also why Mao Xiaofang allowed chaos to erupt in Beijing, because he himself was in dire straits.
...................
Why is this genie so powerful that even a peak Celestial Master like Mao Xiaofang has to back down?
Because he was the first Zhuangyuan (top scholar) appointed by Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty.
He was exceptionally talented and learned, but after his death, his soul did not ascend to heaven. Instead, it merged into a bright lamp, which was held tightly in the hand of Empress Dowager Cixi.
Now it is Cixi’s greatest reliance, because the magic lamp is very powerful!
This is also one of the important reasons why Xuan Kui's fierce zombies could not break through Cixi's army of corpses!
"My dear father, you have already passed away, why do you still want to compete with me for the throne?" Emperor Guangxu looked at Empress Dowager Cixi with a face full of anger.
"Ok?"
With just a glance from Empress Dowager Cixi, Emperor Guangxu's face filled with terror.
Clearly, Empress Dowager Cixi was incredibly oppressive, and he was terrified!
After all, she was the person he feared most during his lifetime.
Now that his biological father has passed away, he has become younger and more frightening. How can he not feel fear?
"Hmph! You ignorant fools, what do you know? What I want is to unify the entire Blue Star, not your petty ambitions of being content with a corner of the world!"
"Only Emperor Xianfeng can understand my good intentions. I want those foreign barbarians and foreigners to bow down and be slaves for eternity. Isn't that good?" Cixi spoke passionately, her eyes blazing as she stared intently at the zombies, including Xuan Kui!
Meanwhile, sitting opposite him, Xuan Kui and Guangxu wore cold smiles.
Obviously, no one believed his nonsense.
Standing behind Xuan Kui were Count Beerus, the Tatar Corpse King, and the Four Earth Masters.
As for the Grand Master of the Nation, he held a superior position, sitting beside Emperor Guangxu and supporting him.
......................
"Enough with the talk. We can call a truce first, and then fight it out after we've destroyed the Daoist sect!"
Xuan Kui's cold voice rang out, clearly indicating that he had not believed Cixi's lies.
"Hmph! That's exactly what I was thinking! But I've already won over all the Buddhists to my side!"
After she finished speaking, she glanced at the Grand Master Protector of the Nation.
Because the genie told her that this Grand Master Protector of the Nation was not human!
It is a demon.
He's just wearing human skin and walking the path of a monk.
When the Grand Master Protector of the Nation saw the way Empress Dowager Cixi was looking at him, he smiled slightly.
This Grand Master of the Nation existed during the Qianlong era. He was appointed Grand Master of the Nation by Qianlong, and every emperor after him honored him as Grand Master of the Nation. There has never been a change in his title.
"What? A Buddhist?" Xuan Kui narrowed his eyes, somewhat incredulous.
Although Buddhism and Taoism are at odds, how is it possible for them to win over Buddhism?
"When I was alive, I was close to Buddhism. Moreover, after my death, Buddhism was suppressed by Taoism. I promised them that after destroying Taoism, I would honor Buddhism. They would naturally serve me!"
Empress Dowager Cixi gave a cold smile, clearly referring to something trivial!
Upon hearing this, all the zombies present fell silent.
Yes, Empress Dowager Cixi had a close relationship with Buddhism during her lifetime.
She once built a magnificent Buddhist temple called Paiyun Hall in the Summer Palace and often went there to worship Buddha and pray for blessings.
These actions demonstrated her devout faith in Buddhism, and being called "Old Buddha" was also a sign of respect for her beliefs.
