Counting Chu Yangcheng, there are three monks in the Void Refining Realm in Jade Emperor Pavilion. Among them, Dongfang Ming and Chu Yangcheng both belong to the Huangting lineage. They are also monks from the "main mountain" of Yuhuang Pavilion and are disciples and grandsons of Taoist Songxue. However, Kong Yangqing is not a Jade Emperor.
He was born in Huangge, not even Zhengyi. He came from Huoxin Cave of Huayun Hall and was the uncle of the great elder Xiahou of Huayun Hall.
According to the rules of the Taoist sect, if the monks in the pavilion require too much faith when conferring the casket and it is difficult to bear the burden, they can apply to the higher-level cultivation sect to receive the casket.
More than 20 years ago, Kong Yangqing entered the Void Refining Realm, and the faith value required to confer the title of Zhenzhen was 36 million Gui. With the faith value allocated by Huayun Pavilion, it was really difficult, so he asked for help.
Jade Emperor Pavilion.
Therefore, this trust value came from the Jade Emperor Pavilion, and Kong Yangqing naturally took up the position of elder of the Yuhuang Pavilion and practiced here.
Fortunately, the Dao sects in the world are unified and there are not so many sects. Otherwise, just the affiliation of a monk in the Void Refining Realm would probably be enough for the Jade Emperor Pavilion and the Huayun Pavilion to argue for several years.
Zhao Ran came to Yuhuang Pavilion several times and did not know about the existence of Kong Yangqing. It was not until the first month of last year that he learned from his disciples that there was such a number one person in Yuhuang Pavilion, so he became more interested.
He just wanted to go up and say hello, but Kong Yangqing had been talking to Long Yangzi. Now that he saw him taking the initiative to wave to him, he must have had time, so he hurried up.
"I've met the master." Zhao Ran went up and made a big salute. He called the elder Xiahou his uncle. Kong Yangqing was the uncle of the elder Xiahou. Of course, he could also call him "the master" - whichever title is the most close to him.
Which name to use? This is Zhao Ran's habit.
Kong Yangqing pulled him aside cheerfully, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "I have heard that there is a capable young man from Huayun Mountain, and we have met today. Master Lu and I are close friends, your name is
It is also appropriate for me to call you master."
The Master Lu mentioned by Kong Yangqing was Jiang Tenghe’s master, the late Lu Yunqi, the previous generation of alchemist of Lou Guan Sect.
After this relationship was discussed, it became a little closer. I heard Kong Yangqing say: "The Louguan lineage was one of the pillars of our Taoist sect six hundred years ago. They did their best during the great dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.
, went on and on, and all the monks in the sect were extremely heroic. Later, my Taoist sect occupied the Central Plains, sat down in Lushan Mountain, and divided the world. At that time, the Louguan lineage was already thin, and it was impossible to occupy a land... Speaking of which, I
Senior Dao Sect's handling of this point is unfair..."
Zhao Ran did not dare to intervene and waited for Kong Yangqing to continue.
"...Similar to Lou Guan's lineage, there are Huoxin Cave, Lishan Sect, Qiqiao Lin, Yunlan Gang, etc. There were a total of eighteen branches at that time, all gathered in Huayun Mountain. Looking around the world, there are also
Which pavilion can gather so many sects in one place like our Huayun Pavilion? It is unique!"
Kong Yangqing made a few complaints and brought the topic back: "Haha, when I talk about Senior Brother Lu and your Lou Guan, I feel very sorry for you. It's just a casual chat, so don't take it to heart.
.In short, I am happy for Senior Brother Lu and Junior Nephew Jiang when I see that Lou Guan can produce such a capable disciple as you. Practice well and work well. In the future, Lou Guan will be carried forward by your generation of disciples.
.”
Zhao Ran said: "Thank you for your concern, Master. I will definitely live up to Master's expectations and work hard for the revitalization of Louguan."
Kong Yangqing nodded: "Okay, there are many people today and everything is complicated. After you have been busy for a while, come to Hunyuanding to talk to me more often. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask.
I'm at the second peak of Hunyunding, it's easy to find."
"Yes, the disciples must not come over to disturb the master."
"That's good, you go and do your work first."
Just as he was thinking about Kong Yangqing's words, he was unexpectedly slapped on the shoulder. He turned around and saw that somewhere outside the crowd, Dongfang Li raised his finger at him.
Zhao Ran saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he moved over and said, "Senior Brother Li, why are you doing this? Why don't you go over to meet everyone and insist on hiding here?"
Dongfang Li smiled and said: "There are too many people there and I'm not used to it. I still prefer something quieter."
Zhao Ran said: "Senior Brother Li, this year I..."
Dongfang Li said: "No need to talk about the first part, I know it all, just talk about the last part."
"The one at the back?"
"Well, let's talk about the rainbow body of old monk Xuanci. How does Master Zhang plan to deal with it?"
"Senior Brother Li, did you already know everything when we were in Jinchuan and Xiaojinchuan last year? Or maybe Senior Brother Li was also an important participant in this ambush?"
"Don't ask this, just tell me where the rainbow body is?"
"Here I am."
"That's great. What does Mr. Zhang say?"
"Zhenzhen Zhang said, let me find an opportunity to send it back to the Buddhist sect. As a master like Master Xuanci, our Taoist sect should show great respect."
Dongfang Li was slightly excited: "Very good, the timing of returning the rainbow body needs to be carefully considered. If Master Zhang has any orders, you must inform me in advance. If Master Zhang has no orders, you must listen to my letter.
I will tell you when the opportunity is right."
Zhao Ran said helplessly: "I know."
Dongfang Li said again: "By the way, there is one more thing I want to talk to you about. It's about Jing Zhimo."
Zhao Ran was more interested in this question, so he quickly asked: "How to deal with it?"
Dongfang Li said: "The first thing we checked in the pavilion is how he got the fan, which is the one you and Princess Rou'an painted together."
Zhao Ran shook his head: "I'm afraid nothing can be found. That fan was auctioned at the Jinbo Club back then. You can get it through normal means and just go through it a few times."
Dongfang Li nodded: "Indeed, we haven't found out that Jing Zhimo got the fan from Huo Tao, a member of the Ministry of War. Huo Tao bought it from a merchant from the Western Regions."
Zhao Ran asked: "Are there any other clues?"
Dongfang Li said: "Based on the current situation, I'm afraid there will be no results in trying to accuse Jing Zhimo of colluding with Xixia."
Zhao Ran frowned: "It's unreasonable? Our Sanqing Pavilion can't follow the rules, right?"
Dongfang Li said: "The Guizhou Chongde Pavilion has inquired. It is not advisable for the pavilion to do too much. It just said that he is suspected of spying on extremely important information and cannot be released at the moment. He has been locked up in Lushan for more than half a year."
Zhao Ran felt a little disappointed and asked: "Then is he crazy?"
Dongfang Li said: "This is what I came here to ask you."
"Ask me?"
"If it is confirmed that he is crazy, then a madman who has important information obviously cannot let him go down the mountain at will. Of course, he cannot be convicted of inciting conflicts between the Shifang Jungle and the palace in the name of this."
"If he's not crazy, then he has ulterior motives?"
"Yes, but we need evidence, and things will be very complicated later. The Chongde Pavilion has been asking about the progress of the case. They even sent a Jindan Master to Lushan to focus on my Sanqing Pavilion to investigate the case. Therefore, Elder Zhuo
