252: In the middle of the night, the Buddha escapes
Zhou Xun disagreed a little: "With their strength, the centipede insects will die without freezing. If they can't, it's okay to close the temple and seal the mountain for a hundred years. As long as they can avoid the limelight, why are they so anxious?"
Tang Yun shook his head. He felt that the focus of Zhou Xun's worries was wrong, so he organized his words and said: "May I ask, sir, how many sects still have a foothold in this world today?
If they close the mountain for a hundred years, the day lilies will probably be cold when they come out, and the imperial court will be at its peak. Killing them is just a matter of time. This may seem like a way out, but in fact it is a dead end.
Apart from this path, the only choice they have is to get involved in this muddy water. But with their reputation plummeting, the only thing they can rely on is their strength. Their martial arts skills are really good, aren't they?"
Zhou Xun was a little curious and asked: "So the way for Leiyin Temple to seek change is to join forces with those aristocratic families? How to join forces?"
"It's a show."
Tang Yun smiled and sipped tea slowly: "For example, if we make a deal with these local snakes, Leiyin Temple will pay some price and let the private martial arts academy be divided into a Buddhist academy. If we really can't change the name, Leiyin Academy or something like that.
As long as they don't put on airs, Leiyin Temple's martial arts will naturally attract most people to follow it. This is the only way they can draw fresh blood.
Of course, those local snakes are not stupid. They know very well that strong guests and weak hosts will lead to the consequences of attracting wolves into the house. At this time, we need the imperial martial arts academy to put some pressure on them.
It forces them to join forces, just like the current situation in Xianghuo County. Their subordinates force them to form an alliance. Each has their own needs, but in fact everyone has their own agenda."
Zhou Xun understood and suddenly said: "Leiyin Temple is very powerful after all, so they would like to have more say in the martial arts academy. However, this thing is already in the pocket of local snakes, so naturally they will not give in.
This will create a situation of internal fighting between the two. If they consume each other like this, even if Leiyin Temple is powerful and the stalls that can be spread are too large, they will eventually be unable to make ends meet."
He said that the reason for making ends meet was the incense money.
As I said before, Leiyin Temple is similar to local snakes. The wealthy gentry takes the lead in donating money, and then the principle is divided into 30 and 70. But once there is no support from reputation, the source of incense money will naturally disappear.
Without this most important source of support, what can we do to support such a big family like Leiyin Temple?
The desire to survive will make them urgently need new financial channels, and they cannot afford to offend the court, so they can only bully the local snakes~
In this case, a problem arises.
Leiyin Temple's territory has always been the entire Leihuo Prefecture, so it can provide for them. Therefore, there is no use in targeting one or two aristocratic families, so we can only cast a wide net to catch more fish.
In this way, their forces will inevitably be dispersed, and with the imperial court's eye on them, they will have to allocate part of them to defend and defend. It is impossible to deal with the local snakes with all their strength, so the local snakes will have a little breathing space.
Next, naturally, there will be a tug-of-war.
In the final analysis, once Leiyin Temple lost its reputation, it seemed that there were no casualties, but in fact the losses were extremely heavy, and even damaged the foundation.
There seemed to be many roads to choose from before them, but all of them were dead ends, dead ends, cliffs, and canyons. The safest one was nothing more than a longer... dead end.
Is there any way to break the situation?
Of course there is, it just depends on whether they can imagine it.
To be honest, Tang Yun really hoped they would think of it, after all, it would be fun to play like this.
As the saying goes, if you hit a snake, it will hit you seven inches.
It's a pity that Leiyin Temple is not a snake, but a bear. To deal with such a huge beast, naturally don't try to kill it with a stick. The best way is to dig a hole and grind it to death slowly.
When it comes to this aspect, remember not to take chances.
As long as you deliberately leave a small opening each time to let it escape, you can avoid temporary counterattacks until it is exhausted, and it is not too late to decide the outcome in one fell swoop.
The night conversation between the two lasted for a full two hours.
Shortly after Tang Yun left at dawn, Zhou Xun had already begun to prepare for action.
A few days before Tang Yun started to make trouble, Zhou Xun, who had chosen the right time, replaced all the princesses and palace lords in various places except Tang Yun with the force of thunder. People from the capital took over the power without saying a word.
As soon as the signal arrives.
Leiyin Temple did not give the slightest chance, and directly caused an accident. Using the excuse of "the temple collapsed, but there were no demons to cause trouble", they began to strictly investigate the branch temples in various places.
Under the witness of countless people, the demon-suppressing towers were destroyed one by one, but nothing existed.
Numerous warriors have also verified in private that the stone tower is just an ordinary stone, without any magic at all, and is no different from tofu to demons.
Coupled with Zhenwu Pavilion's secret push, rumors about Leihuo State spread all over the place, and public opinion flew all over the sky. News about Leiyin Temple's fraud and deception of the world came out one after another.
I don’t know who started it, but countless people turned into anti-counterfeiting fighters and flocked to the temple to ask them to compensate them for the incense money they had dedicated to them for many years.
A soft knife cuts flesh, and the court's move is simply heart-wrenching.
Those who drown are those who know how to swim.
In the past, Leiyin Temple would often manipulate people's hearts and public opinion to angrily criticize the imperial court, but now it turned out to be a failure, but it suffered a hundredfold revenge?
The most important thing is that facing this group of common people who are not even warriors, these monks... don't dare to take action.
The funniest thing happened.
Because the attention of all the forces in the world is focused on Tang Yun, who knows, Xianghuo County is relatively calm now, while other places are in chaos.
——
The timeline goes back to the present.
Tang Yun took a few pills with a smile, and there were a lot of pill bottles at his feet, which made Buddha's eyes hot and helpless.
After telling him the plan, Tang Yun stopped talking, giving Fozi enough time to think, but he kept paying attention to his every move out of the corner of his eye.
The change in the other party's expression unconsciously gave Tang Yun a rough guess about the "Wish" character on his body.
Maybe he thought wrong. The word "wish" and the word "bite" are not just the difference between a reservoir and a bucket of water. Willing power is not a universal energy, and its use must follow certain restrictions.
.
For example.
If Tang Yun falls to Fozi's level, assuming there is sufficient energy reserve in the "Eat" character text, then he can instantly return to his peak and break free from the restraints of the torture tools. There is no point in using Qi-dispersing needles and the like.
To put it bluntly, the torture device only restrains the seriously injured warrior so that they cannot recover. If the warrior's injury does not reach a certain level, there is no complete certainty that it can trap the opponent.
On the other hand, although Buddha has the rune on his body, he was so excited just now and has no tendency to break free. This shows that the effect of the "Wish" character has certain limitations.
Can’t heal?
possible.
Can't convert?
That's not right. The other party had been showing off in front of Tang Yun before. If he said that he didn't use the power of the runes, he wouldn't even believe it if he beat Tang Yun to death.
Feeling that his injuries were almost recovered, Tang Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief and quietly closed his eyes to rest, as if he was waiting for something.
Perhaps he was waiting for Buddha's reply, or perhaps he was waiting for... the arrival of some people.
Rumble!!!
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly the candlelight on the table flickered, and then there was a violent explosion, and then the sound of rapid footsteps and the shouts of the prisoners outside sounded one after another, getting closer and closer...
Fozi took a deep breath, suppressing the shock and bitterness in his heart, and slowly nodded to Tang Yun: "I promise you."
Tang Yun smiled, stood up and asked him: "Who did you guess?"
"have no idea."
Fozi shook his head, his eyes fell on the tea water that had ripples spread out due to the successive tremors. He didn't know what he thought of, and his expression was a little tangled.
"It's...my enemy."
Tang Yun held Ming Ya, his ears twitched, and he suddenly slashed out toward the prison door with his sword. At the same time, he flicked his fingers with his other hand and threw a few pills into Fozi's mouth.
boom!!!
The golden light flowed, and the true energy dispersed, causing heavy casualties wherever it passed. Following the screams and roars, the cell door instantly collapsed into slag, revealing the messy scene outside.
Kill, kill, kill...
Facing a man in black, his head was smashed by Tang Yun's hand, and he died without even a scream.
"Tang Yun, leave it to me."
With a suppressed roar of rage, a black shadow rushed over, pressing down on Tang Yun's face with great force: "Come die."
Seventh grade!
It seems that the other party is also well prepared.
Tang Yun raised his eyebrows, pretending to be caught off guard, and grunted to resist the palm.
Seeing him, he turned his sword edge, directly cut through the opponent's true energy barrier, and stabbed directly into his body. As the sword passed across him, it was like a knife, scraping out sword marks of several feet on his chest.
"Rescue people, evacuate..."
The man grunted in pain, his pupils contracted, and he suddenly reached out and pinched the edge of Ming Ya's sword, strangling Tang Yun's subsequent movements.
boom!
Tang Yun decisively let go and punched his chin with Shen Qiang. Blood spattered everywhere. The man screamed in pain, but half of his tongue was broken off by the collision of teeth, and his subsequent words were swallowed back in his stomach instantly.
But the first few words were heard by others. They took advantage of the opportunity when Tang Yun was implicated, rushed to the cell and took off the torture instrument from Fozi, and quickly fled outside with the weak man on his back.
"Prison robbery?"
Tang Yun's fists were like hammers, slamming into the man's ears, and a purple light flashed in his eyes. The man was slightly startled, and then his whole body seemed to be bitten by a zombie, and he shriveled up to the naked eye.
laugh……
Suddenly, a person took the opportunity to pull out Mingya, and ran out with it in his arms like a desperate man.
"snort!"
Tang Yun flicked his finger, and the man's head exploded immediately, but before he died, he threw the sword into the hands of his companions. The group moved extremely quickly, and quickly disappeared into the night with the Buddha.
Click~~
The mummy fell to the ground, and there was no more sound. Tang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and directly wiped out the remaining prisoners in the prison. The angry color on his face gradually faded, and his lips opened and closed, and his mouth shape was vaguely visible: "I wish you good luck.
.”
It's not that he can't catch up, it's that he doesn't want to catch up.
Not long after, a group of warriors came quickly: "Sir, subordinates..."
Tang Yun waved his hand to interrupt him, his eyes seemed to fall somewhere inadvertently, and he said calmly: "Inventory of losses, the county will be on alert from now on, and a large-scale search for traces of the thieves will be carried out."
Phew~
After he finished speaking, he walked around the other party and strode away from here, crushing the head of an unlucky guy on the way.
What is vaguely visible is that this person is wearing Zhenwuge clothes stained with blood, and the badge around his waist seems to have the word "Zhao" stained with blood...
Few people who betrayed, or betrayed Tang Yun, had a good ending.
It was like this for those people in the past, and it is also like this for Xiao Zhao, who is now in charge.
The moon was sparse, Tang Yun looked up at the sky, and let out a faint chuckle of unknown meaning. The tall figure seemed to blend into the night and quickly disappeared.
…
Under the moon.
A group of people ran quickly.
One person was holding a sharp sword, and seemed to be hesitant. His eyes glanced at Buddha from time to time, and his eyes were filled with undisguised greed: "Kill him, kill him and get the runes, and you can reach the sky in one step."
He thought so and did so.
But the consequences...
But he saw that Buddha, who had been silent all this time, finally swallowed the pill that he had held in his mouth beforehand.
With the recovered ray of true energy, the meridians suddenly circulated and grew rapidly. The depleted energy and blood were like a machine injected with fuel at this moment, making a roaring sound like a wave.
Immediately afterwards, he smashed the head of the man in black who was carrying him with one punch, and while they looked on in shock or confusion, he killed them one by one cleanly.
Except for the person who fought against Tang Yun, who was a seventh-level warrior, these people who came to rob the prison were not worth mentioning.
Moreover, Tang Yun not only killed the seventh-grade warrior, but also several eighth-grade warriors did not escape. The people who led him to escape now were only ninth-grade warriors.
A hint of true energy is enough to turn the tables.
Pa da ~
He dropped the body, looked at his bloody hands in the moonlight, and suddenly opened and closed his lips: "I hope you will keep your promise, otherwise..."
With that said, Fozi picked up the sharp sword that shone with cold light, and left here with one foot and one foot.
Return to Leiyin Temple?
Can not go back.
He knew very well what kind of situation Leiyin Temple would face once it lost its reputation. The only thing he could do was to meet the conditions proposed by Tang Yun before Leiyin Temple was completely destroyed.
Maybe it can save the fate of Leiyin Temple... right?
Tang Yun~
Fozi repeated the name again. I'm afraid no one knows how ambitious this guy is.
Even if he can give up the Nine Paths of Huangtian, and even share the credit of Leiyin Temple, if he says that he only wants to stabilize Xianghuo County... only a ghost would believe it.
What is he planning?
Buddha didn't know, but he knew very well that the other person's eyes could see much, much farther than he could.
Although he wanted to resist, his reason told him that in the current situation, cooperation with Tang Yun was the wisest choice, at least more reliable than that guy.
"After all, you are a senior from the previous era."
Thinking of the person Tang Yun mentioned, Buddha couldn't help but sigh: "To borrow Tang Yun's words, seniors, times... have changed."
One product per year. With Tang Yun's talent, I'm afraid that by the time you really take him seriously, he will have already prepared your coffin, arranged the rituals, and will have you buried at any time.
