Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh: a sect of Taoism that stretches farther than the other
In a hall in the imperial city outside Yunzhong City, Zhang Changwen from Louguan Taoism, Zhang Jiuzang and Li Chunfeng from Zhanxuan Taoism, Yuan Zangji from Fangxian Taoism, Zhang Bingxiu from Yin Yang Taoism, Zhang Lao and his Taoist companion Wei Shi, etc.
They were standing in the center of the hall, looking at the lifelike Changsha County sand table carved in front of them, with solemn expressions on their faces.
On the sand table in front of them, little red flags one inch square were planted everywhere in the city's streets and markets, making the entire city of Changsha a bright red.
"Master Qingwei, are you sure that each of these red flags represents a snake demon's lair?"
Yuan Zangji of Fang Xiandao looked at the shocking scene in front of him and asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Isn't this too much..."
"How much? Not much!"
Kong Qing, who was standing in the main seat, replied in a joking tone, and then continued.
"Every red flag here was personally inspected and confirmed by Fu Yi Shenjun and his day and night wandering gods..."
As he spoke, Kong Qing took out a book bound with A4 paper from his sleeve and threw it next to the sand table.
"Except for a few snake demon lairs in the city where big demons are stationed, they have not checked very clearly for fear of alerting the snake. How many snake demons are there in the remaining nests, what are their cover identities, etc. Fu Yi Shenjun and Day and Night You Shen have already checked
It’s very clear, if Zhenren Yuan doesn’t believe it, you can check it yourself.”
"good!"
Fu Yi, who was standing on one side, stroked his beard with his hand and nodded solemnly.
"I can guarantee that there is at least one snake demon living in these places with red flags. This matter is absolutely true."
Even with Fu Yi's assurance, Yuan Zangji still doubtfully picked up the record that Kong Qing left behind and opened it, looking at the sand table and the record in his hand.
"No. 14, Jiasan Street, Changsha City, there is a snake demon, female. Note: The husband of the snake demon has practiced the "Mahu Luojia Sutra", and his body is close to changing, and there is no cure; Changsha Bingzi 3rd Street, 10
There are seven snake monsters in the Li Ji Leather Shop on the 9th, four of which cannot transform, two are in the transformation stage, and one is a big monster. Note: The monster is in one of the large lairs in Changsha. Non-human beings and above are not allowed to enter..."
"I personally investigated this place."
Fu Yi explained on the side.
"The defense is very tight. Without alerting these snake demons, I can only roughly determine the number of the opponent. There may even be some omissions."
After hearing Fu Yi's words, the faces of those present showed surprise.
"This isn't right!"
Zhang Bingxiu of Yin Yang Dao stood beside his wife Wei Shi and pointed at a certain building on the sand table with his hand.
"Why did our Zhenru Temple on the bank of the Xiang River get a red flag? The Pindao couple here personally went to check it out, but nothing unusual was found?"
"The True View was personally investigated by the slave family..."
After hearing Zhang Bingxiu's words, a woman in red clothes standing behind Fu Yi stood up and saluted Zhang Bingxiu with her skirt folded. Although her tone was gentle, she was very firm.
"I am sure that there are at least three pairs of Taoist couples in Zhenru Temple who have practiced the "Mahuraka Achievement Sutra" to the extent of body transformation. In addition, there is one Qian Dao and two Kun Dao who came from the snake demon in disguise."
"This is impossible!"
Zhang Bingxiu shook his head in astonishment.
"Unless those snake demons withdrew before someone entered the Zhenru Temple, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for them to hide from Pindao's eyes?"
"It's possible to withdraw..."
At this time, Wei Shi, who was standing behind Zhang Bingxiu, raised his head, first glanced at Kong Qing, and then whispered.
"Husband, have you forgotten? Didn't I look at the river view on the bank of the Xiangjiang River and take a short rest before I entered the tour? At that time, didn't I tell you, husband, that there was a bamboo forest near the pavilion where I rested?
The shadow of a snake swayed."
"nonsense!"
After hearing Webster's words, Zhang Bingxiu immediately turned around and glared at her fiercely.
"That's just an ordinary snake, not a snake demon. And how do you know it's not Fu Yi... God's men made a mistake?"
"because……"
Webster's eyes turned and stopped at Kong Qing's handsome face, and then whispered to Zhang Bingxiu.
"Husband, you may not have noticed it two days ago. This sister in red is Mrs. Ximing. She is the granddaughter of Song Wuji. She is born with a fire spirit and can live in lights at will. Since she said she saw it, she can't be wrong.
.”
"So what about Song Wuji..."
Zhang Bingxiu waved his hand, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated when he spoke.
"Is this poor person afraid of... afraid of him?"
Seeing Zhang Bingxiu's performance, Kong Qing, who was standing at the top, silently twitched the corners of his mouth.
Mr. Zhang, if you keep doing this, maybe Pindao will really believe that you are not afraid of Song Wuji anymore!
While several people were talking, Fang Xian Dao Yuan Zangji had already looked up the entire book of information. He closed the record in his hand with a solemn expression, a look of disbelief on his face.
"I really can't believe that the situation in Changsha County has become so serious now, but we don't know any news at all. Everyone... the inheritance of our Immortal Dao relies entirely on immortal fate, so there is no fixed lower house, so we have to
That’s all the news, why didn’t you find anything at the lower court in Changsha?”
As he spoke, Yuan Zangji's eyes passed over the faces of the real people present.
"Zhenren Zhang, you husband and wife... Okay, I made a mistake. I will skip the Shuangxiu sect. I would like to ask Master Zhang Jiuzang, your Zhanxuan sect..."
"Don't involve the old man..."
Zhang Jiuzang waved his hands hurriedly.
"I am a small sect of the Zhanyu sect. To put it bluntly, I am just a bunch of fortune-telling quacks and sorcerers. They are basically all alone. I don't care where I go. How can I have the money to buy something like the House of Commons?"
After hearing Zhang Jiuzang say that he had no lower house, Yuan Zangji set his sights on Zhang Changwen again.
"Zhenzhen Zhang, your Louguan Taoism has a lower house in Changsha, right?"
"Yes, I have!"
Zhang Changwen replied carelessly.
"It's just that why they don't have any news, Pindao doesn't know anything either."
"It seems to Pindao that the lower courtyard of Louguan Dao has also been deceived by the snake demon!"
Zhang Bingxiu from the Shuangxiu Sect suddenly interjected.
"Since those snake monsters won't even let go of a small sect like my Shuangxiu Sect, which only has one lower courtyard, how can they possibly let go of the big sect's lower courtyard of Louguan Dao?"
"nonsense!"
Zhang Changwen glanced at Zhang Bingxiu and replied disdainfully.
"Mr. Zhang, as for your Shuangxiu sect, you are unable to follow the path of Taoism when you see handsome men and beauties. Isn't it normal for you to be confused by the snake demon? But I, a member of Louguan Taoism, is devoted to pure cultivation. How can I be confused by the snake demon?"
"Not always……"
Zhang Bingxiu laughed and then continued.
"A Taoist seed like you, Zhang Zhenren, who has the potential to be an earthly immortal, only needs to be devoted to pure cultivation. As for those Louguan Taoist members who were 'exiled' to Changsha, if you say they are dedicated to pure cultivation, do you think I would believe it?"
"Why don't you believe it!"
Zhang Changwen waved his hand towards the sand table and said proudly.
"Look at the lower courtyards in my Louguan Road, there are not even a single red flag."
"Sorry, Master Zhang..."
Kong Qing blinked and interjected decisively.
"Shenjun Fu Yi and the others have just investigated the entire Changsha City. As for the places outside the city...especially the lower courtyards of your Louguan Dao, they haven't investigated yet."
"It's okay to check!"
Zhang Changwen waved his hand carelessly.
"My Louguan disciples have a stable mind and will never be confused by the snake demon. As for the problem of why no snake demon was found in the lower courtyard of Louguan, Pindao has sent people to several lower courtyards to investigate. I believe it will be soon..."
Before Zhang Changwen could finish his words, a young Taoist priest wearing a Louguan Taoist robe suddenly ran in from outside in a panic.
"Zhenren Zhang, Zhenren Zhang, something serious has happened!"
After hearing the young Taoist priest's voice, Zhang Changwen turned his head in displeasure.
"What's going on? You're in a panic..."
"Zhang Zhenren..."
The young Taoist priest had a panic look on his face and held out a paper bird with both hands.
"Zhenren Yin sent a letter from Feifu, asking what kind of powerful enemy we encountered and why Guangming and Guangjing are both dead?"
"What……"
After hearing the young Taoist priest's words, Zhang Changwen was stunned.
"Guangming and Guangjing are both dead?"
"yes!"
The young Taoist priest nodded repeatedly.
"Their trust cards in Zhongnan Mountain have been shattered..."
"Could Guang Ming and Guang Jing be the people you sent to the House of Commons to investigate, right?"
At this moment, Zhang Bingxiu's strange voice suddenly came.
"Zhang Zhenren, it seems that your Louguan Taoism, which you are dedicated to cultivating, is no better than our crooked Shuangxiu Sect!"
"hateful!"
Zhang Changwen became furious instantly after Zhang Bingxiu retorted like this. He rolled up his sleeves, turned around and planned to walk out the door.
"These damn snake demons actually dare to kill my Louguan disciples..."
"Hold on, real person!"
Kong Qing turned sideways and stopped him with the white jade whisk in his hand.
"Don't alert the snake, but let the real culprit who killed Lou Guan's disciples escape."
"..."
"Well, we also know why there is no news from Lou Guan Dao."
After Kong Qing persuaded Zhang Changwen to come back, Yuan Zangji silently glanced at Zhang Changwen and then looked at Kong Qing.
"Master Qingwei, your Neidan sect is also the backbone of the Taoist sect..."
"Feel sorry!"
Kong Qing shook the whisk in his hand and waved his hand very casually.
"My Neidan sect, Qingxia Zhenren, founded the sect in Luofu. We have not set up a branch in Changsha, and we have no Neidan sect disciples who come to Changsha to register."
"What about the Taishi Bureau?"
Yuan Zang asked reluctantly.
"Which house is the lower house of the Xuantan of the Taishi Bureau in Changsha? What's the situation?"
"The Xuantan of the Taishi Bureau in Changsha is the Taoist Immortal Temple of the Shangqing Sect..."
After hearing the other party mention the Taishi Bureau, Kong Qing shook the whisk in his hand and showed a strange smile on his lips.
"As for the reason why they were unaware of the snake demon, Pindao has indeed found out."
"what reason?"
Yuan Zang asked a few questions subconsciously, and following Zhang Changwen, Zhang Bingxiu and Wei Shi also looked over.
"Because Tang Goubie, the leader of Daoxian Temple, was greedy for small profits, he outsourced the Taishi Bureau's task of subduing demons and protecting one party...to the Buddhist Nirvana Sect in Changsha to handle it."
Having said this, Kong Qing couldn't help but sneered.
"After the great monks of the Nirvana Sect took over Changsha County, Tang Goubie huddled in Nanzhao Mountain all day long and devoted himself to cultivation, so the Taishi Bureau became deaf and blind, and did not know anything."
