There was a crisp sound of the bowl lid touching the tea bowl, and Gu Zheng, who lowered his head to sip the tea, said slowly: "The imperial court has a new backer, and temples will soon bloom everywhere."
"When did it happen?" Huicong was shocked.
Buddhism also has a very important position in the Righteous Alliance. Under normal circumstances, if the court chooses to rely on it, it will definitely notify the Righteous Alliance. Buddhism should also get the news very early. However, Huicong did not know about this matter in advance.
"What happened this morning."
Gu Zheng still lowered his head to drink tea, without raising his head when he spoke.
"Judging from the appearance of fellow Taoist Gu, it seems that you and Shushan have already settled the matter?" Master Qingfeng frowned.
"No, I decided it myself!"
Gu Zheng's answer made Master Qingfeng and others' eyes widen instantly.
"You didn't even pass Shushan before you decided?"
Qingyu Zhenren, who had just received a lesson, was a little excited. Although the imperial power was very free to choose to rely on, since the ancient war decided this matter without going through Shushan, it became clear that the backer would not be Shushan but Emei!
As a branch of Shushan, it is impossible for Shushan not to pay attention to incense, so in the view of Qingyu Zhenren, Guzheng was so bold that he dug his own grave!
"Yes! After all, the name of the temple is 'ancient temple', and there is only a statue of me in it."
Gu Zheng put down his tea bowl and looked up to see a pair of wide eyes.
Looking at the calmness on Gu Zheng's face, the representatives from Buddhism and Kunlun didn't know what to say. In their eyes, Gu Zheng was no different from a madman.
The dream state that Butterfly Spirit causes mortals to have only means that it makes mortals believe in Gu Zheng. The representatives of Buddhism and Kunlun can understand it to some extent. After all, this matter is unprecedented, and Gu Zheng can do whatever they want. However, the favor of the imperial court forces,
Gu Zheng dared to let him enjoy the incense alone. In the eyes of the representatives of Buddhism and Kunlun Sect, this was undoubtedly a treasonous act and seeking death!
After the shock, the representatives from Buddhism and Kunlun looked at each other. The expressions in each other's eyes were very complicated, including helplessness and, of course, gloating.
"Why!"
Master Qingfeng sighed.
The Kunlun Sect came to Emei this time. Firstly, they wanted to find some sense of presence, and secondly, they wanted to find some benefits. After all, what Dieling has done is a done deal, and it is most practical to find some benefits.
It's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes. It has already failed in finding a sense of existence, let alone what benefits it wants! Even the previous benefits have been taken back by Gu Zheng.
Master Qingfeng had already defined Gu Zheng as a madman, so confronting a madman would naturally not do any good! Therefore, he decided to change his guess and immediately put on a smile.
"Fellow Taoist Gu, I have offended many things in the past, but I didn't think about it the next time! In fact, just like what Friend Gu said, with your contribution to this world, it is indeed nothing if you use boundary stones for personal matters.
What a matter!"
Master Qingfeng's voice paused, and then he said seriously: "Friends of the ancient Taoism, please rest assured that Kunlun will not interfere with the ancient temple!"
After expressing his attitude to Gu Zheng, Master Qingfeng smiled bitterly and said: "Kunlun and Emei have always been on good terms. We have just come to this plane, and we don't understand many things here. I hope fellow Taoist Gu will not let go of some things."
In your heart, take back those words you said in anger!"
"The real person wants Kunlun and Emei to get back together. Emei Tower still has your quota. If you need food repair in the future, you can still come to me, right?"
Gu Zheng's sly smile was no longer a big deal in the eyes of Master Qingfeng. He smiled and said, "Exactly!"
"It's okay if you want me to take back what I said before, but he must apologize to me!"
Gu Zheng looked at Zhenren Qingyu.
"I,"
Qingyu Zhenren felt bitter in his heart, but he didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth.
"Junior brother!"
Master Qingfeng shouted in complaint.
"You are the one who caused this. Isn't it right for you to apologize to fellow Taoist Gu?" Master Qingfeng reprimanded.
Master Qingyu took a deep breath, and then said: "Fellow Taoist Gu, what happened before was my fault. I offended Friend Gu, and I hope you will forgive me!"
"Um!"
Gu Zheng nodded carelessly. He naturally knew that Master Qingyu's apology was not sincere, but what does it matter? As long as he apologized, it would be fine! As for if he came to him for food repair in the future, then... hum
snort!
"Fellow Ancient Daoist, we have other things to do, so I won't bother you any more today. We will visit Emei another day. I hope Gu Dao will entertain you with wine and good food!" Master Qingfeng stood up and said.
"Since the two fellow Taoists have other things to do, Gu will not try to persuade them to stay! If the two fellow Taoists come to Emei again in the future, I will definitely entertain them with good wine and delicious food!"
Gu Zheng laughed loudly, as if the previous unpleasantness had never happened. As for what good wine and food are, hehe!
"Two masters, please take your time and chat, I'll take the first step soon!"
Master Qingfeng said goodbye to Huicong and Huiming.
"It's easy for you two to go."
Huiming didn't raise his eyelids, but there was undisguised contempt in his voice! Before coming to Emei, they talked about advancing and retreating together, but now these two guys from the Kunlun Sect are retreating, how can Huiming think highly of them!
"hehe."
Master Qingfeng doesn't care about Huiming's attitude. Kunlun is different from Buddhism. Although they also want incense, they are not as eager as Buddhism, so there is no need to make Gu Zheng unhappy because of this matter! With Buddhism,
The cooperative relationship naturally ended here.
"Junior brother!"
Huicong glanced at Huiming displeasedly, and then looked at Qingfeng and Qingyu: "You two go slowly, the poor monk will go to Kunlun to pay a visit another day."
Huicong is at a higher level, and he admires Master Qingfeng's ability to bend and stretch. Moreover, Huicong can tolerate Master Qingfeng's departure, at least when they are bargaining with Gu Zheng, they no longer have to worry about being betrayed by Qingfeng and Qingfeng.
I can't stand the rain.
"Senior brother, you are so useless!"
As soon as he walked out of the Emei Hall, Master Qingyu sent a message to Master Qingfeng.
"What's so cowardly? Do you really want to fight with Gu over this matter?" Master Qingfeng said.
"It's not like we're going to fight. What's the use of the so-called Emei Pagoda usage quota and food cultivation to you and me? As for asking him to take back those words in a humble way?" Master Qingyu said.
"Whether it's useful or not is another matter, but we can't let these benefits disappear from our hands! Otherwise, what will the disciples in the sect think of us? As for our compromise here, only a few people know about it, so it's not too embarrassing.
!”
Master Qingfeng gave the message, gritted his teeth and sneered: "Compared with our compromise, what Gu Zheng will face is more exciting. I want to see how he will face Shushan after doing this!"
Emei Grand Hall.
Gu Zheng looked at Huicong and Huiming and said with a smile: "The two masters stayed here but didn't speak. What's their plan?"
"Fellow ancient Taoist, you also know that we Buddhists attach great importance to incense!" Huiming smiled bitterly.
Indeed, Buddhism attaches far more importance to incense than Taoism. Part of the reason for this is that Buddhism is better at using the power of faith! Qi Ling also said that she used the power of pure faith to help Gu Zheng do those things
Everything is done using Buddhist methods.
"What exactly does the master want to say? Just say it clearly."
Of course Gu Zheng knew what Hui Cong was going to say, but Hui Cong's current softness was all due to his tough attitude! What's more, even if Hui Cong is soft, there will definitely be gloating in his heart, so he should put on airs
You have to put on airs when you are doing it.
"snort……"
"Junior brother!"
Huiming was obviously more impulsive, but before he could finish his sneer, he was interrupted by Huiming's angry shout.
"Master Huiming's smile is very interesting, which makes Gu really want to know, what are you laughing at?" Gu Zheng looked at Huiming coldly.
"Junior brother, please tell Master Gu why you are laughing!" Hui Cong scolded Hui Ming with a frown.
"I'm not laughing at anything, I'm just laughing at something funny."
Huiming's attitude had calmed down, but he obviously couldn't fool him. Gu Zheng's eyes stared at him tightly, making him very uncomfortable.
"Master Huiming, what are you laughing at? Tell me and make Gu laugh too!" Gu Zheng pressed forward step by step.
"Fellow Ancient Daoist, we went to support Kunlun together before!"
Huiming's face turned red, and he told Gu Zheng what happened before.
"Building friendships? Why did you go so far?" Gu Zheng sneered in his heart, but still looked serious on the surface: "Yes! We did go to support Kunlun together, but what I'm talking about now is what are you laughing at!
"
On one side was Gu Zheng's direct gaze, and on the other side was Hui Cong's anxious gaze. Hui Ming gritted his teeth and said, "I'm laughing at how I've moved my heart!"
"Ha, hahahaha..."
Gu Zheng laughed, he was amused by the excuse he forced out.
"Amitabha!"
Huicong said the Buddha's name and shook his head, as if he was very disappointed with Huiming.
Gu Zheng's smile quickly stopped. He looked at Huiming and said seriously: "This is the Emei Hall! As a guest, master, you'd better be more solemn!"
"The poor monk knows!"
Huiming lowered his head and smiled bitterly in his heart. Today's Gu Zheng seemed completely different from the Gu Zheng he knew before. There was no harmony, only spikes all over his body! If you don't want to have any conflict with him, then you'd better not confront him.
Great! After thinking about it, Huiming suddenly admired Master Qingfeng for taking the first step.
"It's good to know."
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and looked at Huicong: "What did the master say before?"
"Amitabha! The poor monk wants to know what the ancient Taoist friends think of the existing temples?" Master Huicong said.
In history, the emphasis on Buddhism and the suppression of Taoism has happened more than once. Now the imperial court wants to build a temple for Guzheng, and Guzheng has become so overbearing in his behavior. This makes Huicong worried that the matter of "valuing Buddhism and suppressing Dao" will be
It happened to Buddhism! After all, the place that receives the most incense in China right now is the temple.
Looking at the bitter smile on Huicong's face, Gu Zheng said lightly: "Let the existing temples exist! All I hope is that no one will target my ancient temple!"
"Don't worry, fellow ancient Taoists, how could Buddhism target ancient temples?"
Master Huiming is very serious. He is very grateful that the ancient struggle has allowed the existing temple to still exist.
However, this gratitude was naturally not sincere. Huiming, like Kunlun, was waiting for Gu Zheng's joke.
How could Gu Zheng not know what Huiming and Qingfeng were thinking?
It's a pity that what Huiming and Qingfeng expected to happen will not happen. With Gu Zheng's status in the ancient Shu Mountain, no one will do anything for it. As long as there is no situation in Shu Mountain or trouble from other aspects,
Ancient disputes can be completely ignored.
The next day, Gu Zheng went out to the secular world to solve the troubles encountered by the court.
The trouble that the imperial court encountered was like this. In the past few months, ministers in the imperial court had died abnormally one after another. Gao Yuan, who worked for the imperial court, naturally investigated this matter, and the results of the investigation were as follows
The minister died from the head-lowering technique.
A minister was killed by witchcraft, which was a big deal for the court. Unless the killer behind the scenes was uncovered, who knows whether he would continue to massacre the ministers.
For the immortal cultivators in the ancient world, the head-lowering technique is one of the magic techniques, and it is also an unpopular one among the magic techniques. Those who were killed by the head-lowering technique will have clues left on their bodies.
Whether such clues can be discovered depends on the strength of the person who lowered his head and the strength of the discoverer.
Although Gao Yuan comes from the ancient times, his own strength is only in the realm of returning to the virtual world. It can be used to track down the general clues of the head surrender. However, the strength of the head surrender master who massacred the court ministers is obviously unusual. Gao Yuan can only tell that
The ministers died from the head-lowering technique, but no clues could be found from their corpses.
When Gu Zheng arrived in the capital, he quickly found Gao Yuan through his spiritual exploration, and Gao Yuan also brought him to the place where the corpses of the ministers were stored.
The ministers were all dead, and every one of them died tragically with bleeding from seven orifices.
Gu Zheng used his spiritual mind to probe into the corpse's brain, looking for clues left by the head-lowering technique.
It is inevitable to leave clues when performing the head-dropping technique on people, but this clue cannot be discovered by ordinary people, and it will become more difficult to find due to the advanced strength of the head-dropping master.
To use a simple analogy, clues are like knife marks on the wall. The wall is thirty feet away from ordinary people, so it is naturally impossible for ordinary people to see the knife marks. The width and depth of the knife marks are affected by the lower head.
Influenced by the master's strength. The stronger the immortal cultivator's spiritual sense, the more detailed the things he can detect, and the strength of the spiritual sense will make people closer to the wall!
If the spiritual mind of the cultivator is strong enough, then the clues he can find from the corpse, in addition to containing the Qi of the descending master, can also use the relationship between the clues and the descending master to locate the descending master.
.
The head-lowering master who used the head-lowering technique on the ministers was very powerful, but this was only for the plateau. Not long after Gu Zheng’s spiritual sense penetrated the corpse, he discovered the clue left by the head-lowering master. Through this clue, Gu Zheng
He won the opportunity of the Jiangtou Master and began to use clues to locate the Jiangtou Master.
The feeling of positioning the head-lowering master was very strange, just like holding a silk thread tied to an unknown object. However, when Gu Zheng collected half of the silk thread, the thread suddenly broke!
"Senior, how's it going?"
Seeing Gu Zheng, who had closed his eyes before, open his eyes, Gao Yuan quickly asked.
"The clue has been cut off." Gu Zheng said calmly.
"then what should we do?"
Gao Yuan's heart sank. The opponent was able to discover that Gu Zheng's tracking had cut off the clues, which showed that his strength was higher than predicted. Moreover, once the clues were cut off, they could not be renewed, and the Jiangtou division was also on guard and wanted to pass through again.
The clues in the remaining corpses were used to track him, but the situation must have been that as soon as he was traced, the clues were cut off again!
"It doesn't matter. It's a little late that the clues were cut off. Although I don't have the exact location of him, I already know the country he is in. With his country and his Qi, it won't be a problem to find him.
That's it." Gu Zheng said coldly.
The country where Master Jiantou is located is a kingdom of the Celestial Dynasty and is known as the Buddhist country.
Now is the era of Fa Xing. After there are more immortal cultivators on the earth, many things have become standardized.
When Gu Zheng first became an immortal cultivator, he flew directly to another country! Although this kind of behavior was regarded as illegal immigration, he basically never encountered any immortal cultivators from the country he was smuggled into.
But this time it was different. After Gu Zheng flew to the country where Master Jiangtou was located, he unexpectedly met a bearded immortal cultivator.
Immortal cultivators are just a general term for people who have reached a certain level of strength. In fact, the bearded man who blocked Gu Zheng's way was not cultivating an immortal power ball in his body at all, but a cyclone with very mixed energy in Gu Zheng's view.
Big Beard's strength is only equivalent to that of an immortal cultivator in the early stages of the Qi Transformation Realm. He only had the strength to fly in front of Gu Zheng with the help of a crutch-like immortal weapon.
Big Beard was not very capable, but he was very courageous. When he stopped Gu Zheng, he immediately asked Gu Zheng if he had the jade talisman to pass the customs.
Like when Chakar went to Emei to visit Guzheng before, if he wanted to avoid unnecessary accidents, he had to go to the place designated by the Celestial Immortal Cultivator and get the customs clearance jade talisman. Although Chakar was very capable, he went to the Celestial Dynasty to
At that time, I also obediently took the jade talisman to clear the customs. Moreover, the jade talisman to clear the customs also existed in ancient times.
As a person like Gu Zheng, since some things have become standardized under the general trend, it doesn't matter if he does things according to the rules. However, what Dieling did with the boundary stone has turned him into a robber, so he doesn't need to care.
There are so many, so according to the logic of bandits, whoever has the biggest fist has the final say!
The bearded man was also unlucky. After many years of seclusion, he finally reached the level of an immortal cultivator. As soon as he came out of seclusion, he saw an exotic cultivator and immediately wanted to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf.
In Big Beard's view, no matter what the opponent's strength is, as long as the opponent is a cultivator who comes through regular channels, he will be very polite to him. He can just pretend to be a big-tailed wolf and have fun. Even if the opponent came here illegally
As long as the cultivator is smart, nothing will happen to him. The worst he can do is say soft words and pretend to be a grandson, but it’s not like he has never pretended before.
However, the bearded man never expected that he had just asked the other party if he had cleared the Jade Talisman, and the other party waved at him with a wicked smile, and his body flew towards the other party uncontrollably, and his head was grabbed by the other party.
"Boy, ancestor, I want to search your soul. If you don't struggle, there will be no harm!"
Gu Zheng's old-fashioned voice sounded in Big Beard's mind.
