Dragon Eagle followed Sanzhen Taezi's graceful figure, bypassed the front hall, and walked onto the corridor hung with wind lanterns. The palaces on both sides are continuous and generous in planning. It is worthy of the famous temple in Chang'an. (Baidu search) But it has not been seen for a while.
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is more famous than the Daci'en Temple.
Mizhen Taeko slowed down her pace, letting Long Ying come to her side, and said with a sweet smile: "Master Ying is very romantic!"
Long Ying said: "If you are not romantic, you will waste your youth. I don't know how much I want to be romantically intimate with you, Master, but I don't dare."
Sanzhen Taeko said angrily: "What is there to be afraid of? Will Taeko eat you?"
Long Ying squeezed her shoulders and said, "That's right! Once I can't match Master Taeko's charming skills, I will lose all my energy after it's over and turn into a skin and bones that doesn't look like a human being. Who will compensate me?"
Sanzhen Taeko laughed so hard, she was so happy and charming, she scolded with a smile: "It's not like you haven't touched Master before. Do you have any sequelae? On the contrary, you were teased so much that you were confused and flustered. To this day, you still haven't replied. Do you have any side effects?"
If I can’t get interested, who will compensate me?”
Long Ying teased her and said, "This matter can be discussed in the long run."
Sanzhen Taeko stopped in front of a monastery in the middle of the garden and said solemnly: "The monk king is waiting for Lord Ying! Please!"
In the monastery in the back garden of Daci'en Temple, Faming sat cross-legged on a futon, his deep eyes shot sharply, looking at Long Ying sitting on another futon only three steps away from him, clasping his hands and chanting the Buddha's name in a low voice.
Indeed, no matter how you look at it horizontally or vertically, you still have the bearing and appearance of an enlightened monk.
Dragon Eagle sent Sanzhen Taezi from him to greet him. It was known that Fa Ming showed goodwill to him, because among his four Dharma protector disciples, Taiping's master Sanzhen Taeko had the most "favor" towards him.
Fa Ming said calmly: "The evil emperor is here, I don't know what you are doing?"
Long Ying also admired his ability to keep his composure. If it had been him, Mo Wenchang would have been killed by the other party. How could he be so kind? He said: "I can hide it from the Holy Lord and not reveal the incident of the Monk King's attack on the road, otherwise I'm afraid I'll order someone to kill him."
The death of my sister-in-law’s son is also blamed on the Monk King, and the efforts of the Monk King and the Holy One to reconcile have been in vain.”
Fa Ming nodded and said: "I like Evil Emperor's straight-to-the-point attitude. Please tell me the terms of exchange."
Long Ying said calmly: "I just don't want Xi Yao to sit on the position of Taoist Master."
Fa Ming said calmly: "In the current situation, and I am still an outsider after all, what role can I play?"
Long Ying said: "There are two methods. The first method is for the younger brother to join forces with the Monk King to kill him."
Fa Ming smiled bitterly and said: "It is indeed a straightforward method, but you probably have never met him, so you have this unrealistic idea. But let me tell you frankly! Your proposal is highly tempting to me."
Long Ying said: "I'm just talking casually so that I can evaluate Xi Yao's martial arts based on the monk king's reaction. Hey! Is this old boy really that powerful?"
Fa Ming said: "It's more powerful than you guessed. Killing him is no less difficult than killing you. What about the other method?"
Long Ying said: "What if the martial artist is unqualified, and the person who takes the position of the leader of the Shangqing Sect is not Shen Fengzhen but the one who is favored by my younger brother?"
Fa Ming's eyes shone brightly and he said: "Then there is nothing we can do. What are your chances of winning? Who is the person you recommend? Do not tell me that it is Min Xuanqing."
Long Ying said: "It's not Xuan Qing. As for this candidate, it will be announced tomorrow. I will give the Monk King a favor first. As long as the Monk King nods and agrees, I will never reveal the sneak attack to the Holy One."
Fa Ming happily said: "The Evil Emperor speaks quickly, so I promise the Evil Emperor and will never break his promise."
He added: "To a certain extent, I am the representative of the Holy Emperor. When a stalemate occurs, I am sure to turn the situation to the disadvantage of Xi Yao."
Long Ying said: "We can still make a fuss about Wu Yizi's death. It would be best to leave the Taoist position vacant, so that Xi Yao can only stare. The word 'see'."
Fa Ming pondered: "The evil emperor should be the bad guy, or should I be the bad guy?"
Long Ying said: "The younger brother will be the bad guy. It's best for the Monk King to scold a little and help a lot, then no one will see that we are in the same family. Ha!"
Fa Ming smiled and said: "Putting aside the hostile stance, it is indeed a pleasure to work with the Evil Emperor. But why do you suddenly take care of me so much? Isn't it more important to overthrow me than to overthrow Xi Yao?"
Long Ying said: "Before Wu Chengsi becomes the crown prince, the Monk King probably won't rebel. Right?"
Fa Ming said: "You don't have to rebel, but who wants to rebel? Especially the one who rebels is my senior sister, let alone Wei Er. I don't want to kill you, but I have no choice."
Long Ying said: "Is it because of Duanmu Ling?"
Fa Ming looked up at the beams of the roof, with a thoughtful look on his face, and said: "You only gave half of the reason. The other half is that without your presence, under a certain situation, I would have become the most ideal successor to the throne in my senior sister's mind.
.”
Long Ying said in confusion: "But the Monk King should know that I have no ambition to be an emperor."
Fa Ming looked at him and smiled: "You are thinking about one thing, and senior sister is thinking about another thing. Haven't you heard that you can't help yourself? Some things don't change based on your subjective wishes."
Long Ying said: "No wonder Xi Yao became the fierce rival of the Monk King, because the Monk King has the ambition to be an emperor. His grandma! Can the Monk King not see through it at all after practicing Buddhism for so long?"
Faming said calmly: "Ever since I became sensible, I have had two great wishes in my heart. One is to repay Master for her deep kindness and to repay her for turning me into an extraordinary person. The other wish is to attain Taoism and become a Buddha.
The secret that breaks the world. I have never revealed these things to anyone. Therefore, I once said that you, Evil Emperor, were born at the wrong time and became the biggest obstacle on my way to fulfill my wish. One day, I and the evil emperor will
The Emperor will decide between life and death, but I promise you that it will not happen within this period of time. In terms of pure kung fu, the Evil Emperor still succumbs to my King's 'Indestructible Vajra'."
Long Ying stood up and said, "That's settled. Ha! I never thought that talking to a friend like a monk and king would be so interesting."
Fa Ming stood up with him and said: "Let me give the Evil Emperor a ride. After all, I and the Evil Emperor are kindred spirits. There is no need to hide anything when we talk. Please!"
Longying laughed and left the monastery side by side with him.
As soon as they stepped out of the monastery, there was a muffled thunder in the distance. They both raised their heads to look at the sky. The beautiful starry night had been covered by the swiftly moving dark clouds. Fa Ming put his hands together and proclaimed the Buddha's name.
Long Ying said: "There are unpredictable weather conditions in the sky. It seems there will be a heavy thunderstorm."
Turning to Fa Ming, he said: "Isn't Xi Yao the Monk King's partner? Why did the secret suspicion suddenly arise?"
Fa Ming raised his steps and led Long Ying toward the gate along the secluded path in the forest, saying: "The death of Wu Jie's son set off an alarm in my heart. Then I realized that Xi Yao had been secretly practicing the Huang Tian Dafa, hiding the evil.
The emperor doesn't know the depth of Wu Bizi, so he probably doesn't understand it as deeply as I do. If Xi Yao hadn't practiced to the eighth level of Huangtian Dafa, how could he have taken Wu Bizi's life within three moves and two moves?"
Long Ying wanted to ask him why he had such an in-depth understanding of Huangtian Dafa, but because he didn't have much time, he took the opportunity to ask more important questions when Fa Ming was willing to speak freely. He said: "In addition to his competitors, he should ask the monk king what he should do." It is beneficial and harmless, so why does the Monk King think that Xi Yao has the intention to betray the Monk King?"
Fa Ming's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but his tone was still pure and calm, and he said calmly: "I have been restraining the Heavenly Master from the Qing sect. Xi Yao's move did not get my consent. His going his own way means that he will not let go anymore. This king is within my sight."
He looked at him again and said, "I am willing to tell the Evil Emperor these things to show the Evil Emperor that I am sincere in cooperating."
Long Ying understood.
The death of Wu Jiezi made Faming feel that everything was out of control. If Shen Fengzhen became the leader of the Shangqing Sect, the two most powerful factions of the Taoist Sect would fall into the hands of Xi Yao, and if he could gain half of the Taoist Sect, , how can other smaller sects not follow the scenery?
Long Ying asked: "Is it the Li Tang clan that Xi Yao really wants to support?"
Fa Ming's eyes reappeared with murderous intent, and he said: "The Evil Emperor is indeed extremely intelligent. This is indeed Xi Yao's wishful thinking. He first expressed his allegiance to Li Xian. Once the senior sister changed the name of the emperor, he immediately rose up under the banner of Zhongzong. Full-scale rebellion. With his insight and charm, he became the leader of the rebels, just like Zhang Tianshi in the late Han Dynasty, and like Sun En, the Five Dou Rice Master in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who fought for hegemony in the world."
After a pause, he continued: "Taoism was established as the state religion by Emperor Taizong, and the senior sister has always suppressed Taoism and praised Buddhism. No one will doubt that Xi Yao is hiding a wolfish heart."
Long Ying grasped the current situation for the first time. No wonder Fa Ming suddenly regarded Xi Yao as a powerful enemy. After all, Fa Ming was a member of the Holy Sect, and even though he and his senior sister Wu Zhao were at odds, they were still on the same side.
"Boom!"
Lightning cracked in the sky, and after a thunderclap, heavy rain fell mercilessly. The raindrops fell on the roof tiles and the roof of the corridor, making a chaotic and rich sound.
Rain poured down from both sides of the corridor roof like a curtain, and the cold wind blew continuously with the rain, making the two people's clothes wet.
The space outside the building of Daci'en Temple suddenly turned into a violent world.
Fa Ming suddenly smiled and said: "I deliberately tested Xi Yao, asking him to join me in dealing with the Evil Emperor, but he politely refused, saying that I must stay in Chang'an and it is not appropriate to cause trouble. Huh! He wants to sit down. You have gained the advantage of being a fisherman. If I were him, the first person I want to kill is you. No one, including Mo Chui, wants to meet your brother on the battlefield. Ha! Who would have thought that there would be an evil emperor in my holy sect? character?"
The corridor has ended, there is a violent wind and rain outside, the trees around are shaking, thunder and lightning have completely conquered the magnificent temple and the great capital.
Long Ying stopped walking: "The monk king will send his younger brother here. When will the monk king go to see Wu Youyi?"
Fa Ming said: "I will go to the palace to see him at dawn."
Long Ying asked the question he wanted to ask the most, saying: "Does the Monk King really support the Holy Emperor and change his plan to make Wu Chengsi the crown prince?"
Fa Ming paid attention to the rain scene that made everything blurry, and said leisurely: "Ignore how my senior sister insists on having her own way, but when she understands that neither her nephew nor her parents are mud that can cling to the wall, it will only ruin her for thousands of years." Jiang Shan, who had come back after all the hard work, knew that only those in my holy sect were qualified to inherit her great cause. So I said that if the evil emperor is willing to cooperate with me, the world will be ours. Who can Being an emperor is really not important. Only in this way can Faming repay Master's deep kindness."
