When the three of them arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, the usually deserted City Lord's Mansion was extremely noisy.
Chu Li and Ding Zhishi looked at each other.
Chu Li swept through this group of people, there were about two hundred people, all of them were top-notch masters, they were really a huge force.
But at this time, these first-class experts did not have the demeanor of experts. They gathered together in twos and threes and chatted, as if they were vagrants with nothing to do, without any dignity.
Chu Li shook his head, walked slowly with Dingzhi Shi, passed them, and came to the hall.
Everyone moved out of the way and stared at the three monks with sharp eyes. Seeing their fluttering gray robes and solemnity, they all guessed their identities. Only Da Ci En could have such a level of cultivation and walk so freely in the city lord's palace.
The monk of the temple.
When Chu Li and the others came to the hall, they saw He Jin sitting in the middle seat talking to two middle-aged men. Behind the two middle-aged men was a young man who was handsome, but not very handsome.
Hearing the footsteps, they all looked over.
Chu and Li tithe together.
He Jinhe returned the courtesy and said with a smile: "Three masters, come quickly. Let He introduce me. This is Brother Gu from Zhengqi Hall, Gu Qingcheng. Behind him is Zhou Fangge and Zhou Shaoxia. This one is Xu Congzhen from War Temple. Brother Xu, Jin
Young Hero Jerkin."
He chuckled and said, "I don't need to introduce these three, right? Master Dingjian, Master Dingshi, and Master Dingru."
"Long time admiration." Gu Qingcheng and Xu Congzhen both joined in tithing, and the two young men standing behind them also joined in tithing, but their eyes were bright, staring straight at Chu Li, with a hint of challenge.
How could He Jin not see their little thoughts? He shook his head and smiled secretly, but did not point it out. He laughed and said: "Thanks to Master Dingru's guidance this time, we were able to stop it in time, otherwise the same result would have happened in Zhengdong Zhenhai City.
Sigh..., after all that, I still didn't realize the ambition of these guys and underestimated them!"
As soon as these words were said, the faces of the four of them turned gloomy.
"It's also because we weren't vigilant enough and they took advantage of us!" Gu Qingcheng slowly shook his head.
Although he is middle-aged, he is still handsome, has a free and honest demeanor, and has a righteous look between his eyebrows, which makes him fall in love with him as soon as he sees him.
He shook his head and sighed: "If I knew how determined they were, I wouldn't have been so careless and ended up losing Zhengxi Zhenhaicheng. We are considered the sinners of Zhenhaicheng!"
"Brother Gu, it's rare for you to be able to withdraw safely." He Jin quickly waved his hand and said: "We have personally experienced their cunning and power, and Taidong Zhenhai City was not unattacked back then."
"It is precisely because of this that we came to discuss ideas and learn how to take it back." Gu Qingcheng said with a bitter smile.
He Jin smiled and said: "What is there to learn from this? Just send some more masters from your Zhengqi Hall, as well as Brother Xu's Temple of War, and then send two hundred masters to attack by force!"
"You weren't like this back then, were you?" Gu Qingcheng shook his head and said: "The masters from the islands on the sea have all mobilized. No matter how strong our Zhengqi Hall and War God Hall are, we can't stop their joint efforts."
He Jin said: "So, Brother Gu and Brother Xu are not here to avoid the limelight, but to borrow people?"
"I'm just curious about how to recapture Taidong Zhenhai City." Gu Qingcheng said with a smile.
He Jin looked at Xu Congzhen and shook his head.
Xu Congzhen clasped her fists and said with a smile: "We are also desperate. If we go back in such a dejected manner, we will have no shame to see people. We can only commit suicide to apologize. If we can recapture Zhengxi Zhenhai City and redeem our merits, we can have the shame to return to the sect."
.”
He Jin smiled and shook his head: "I know Brother Xu's shamelessness, how can he be shameless?"
"Brother He, don't you want to tell me?" Xu Congzhen's face darkened.
He Jin waved his hand, looked at Gu Qingcheng, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, in fact, we can take it back. First, we can use all our strength and send a large number of people to fight for it at all costs. The other one is to set up the trap earlier.
I had already anticipated such a thing, so I launched the secret move to attack from the inside, which saved me a lot of effort, otherwise it would have been hard to tell."
"Dark chess..." Xu Congzhen frowned.
Gu Qingcheng asked: "How did you arrange the secret chess game?"
"The islands on the sea can send traitors, but we can't?" He Jin said with a smile: "At the beginning, there were not only masters on the surface in Taidong Zhenhai City, but also masters in the dark. They were hidden deep inside. Even if Taidong Zhenhai City was occupied,
, they did not receive the order and were not exposed."
"Alas... you Five Thunder Peaks are still treacherous!" Xu Congzhen shook her head.
He Jin smiled and said: "This is not the work of our Five Thunder Peaks, but the masters of Daci'en Temple."
Chu Li and the other three had been listening quietly, not caring about their indifference.
Daci'en Temple, Zhengqi Hall and War Temple were not at odds with each other originally, and were close to Five Thunder Peaks.
However, Wulei Peak has always been peaceful and has a good relationship with all the sects. It will not be as clear-cut as Daci'en Temple, where they insist on distinguishing right from wrong.
Gu Qingcheng and Xu Congzhen looked at Chu Li and the others.
Monk Dingjian smiled: "There is a saying in Buddhism that if there is a cause, there must be an effect, and if there is an effect, there must be a cause. There is nothing wrong with planting a cause in advance, but I didn't expect that this cause and effect would still work."
"I really appreciate Da Ci'en Temple's methods!" Xu Congzhen snorted.
The Temple of War and Da Ci'en Temple are the least likely to deal with each other. Da Ci'en Temple feels that the Temple of War is ruthless, while the Temple of War feels that the women of Da Ci'en Temple are benevolent and extremely hypocritical. Indulging evil people means killing good people.
Monk Dingjian tithes: "Senior Xu, please give me a reward."
"Where is Hui Guang?" Xu Congzhen snorted coldly: "He is still in retreat?"
"Yes, Master is in retreat to study Buddhism." Monk Dingjian nodded slightly and said, "Master is not interested in worldly affairs, and we disciples will serve him."
"Monk Huiguang is lucky enough to have disciples like you with the Dingshi Stone." Xu Congzhen sneered and said: "You are really a good master who leaves everything to his disciples and hides in the temple for some leisure time!
"
Monk Dingjian smiled and said: "Master also asked us to practice more and observe the human heart to understand the Buddha Dharma. The Buddha Dharma is the human heart."
"Okay, I'm too lazy to argue with you monks!" Xu Congzhen said coldly: "Since you have laid out chess pieces in Taidong Zhenhai City, what about Zhengxi Zhenhai City? You must have also laid them out, right?"
Monk Dingjian shook his head and sighed: "Amitabha, Zhenhai City in the west is the responsibility of Senior Xu's War Temple and Zhengqi Hall. Our temple will never extend such a long hand."
"Don't you take it as your duty to save the common people in the world!" Xu Congzhen sneered: "Zhengxi Zhenhaicheng doesn't have the chess pieces of your Daci'en Temple. I won't believe it, so hand it over!"
"Amitabha!" Monk Dingjian Heshi recited the Buddha's name and said no more.
Xu Congzhen said coldly: "It seems that you are going to die without saving me?"
He Jin coughed lightly and said, "Brother Xu, this..."
If the incident continues, he will be in a dilemma, what will Daci'en Temple think?
Xu Congzhen waved her hand to interrupt him and hummed: "Brother He, please don't interfere in this matter. It is a matter between our War God Temple and Daci'en Temple!"
Chu Li glanced at Gu Qingcheng, who was smiling faintly, and felt that this handsome middle-aged man with an upright face was extremely wealthy. He was still calm at this time, and he obviously wanted to join forces to force the Great Ci'en Temple.
