The old master came in with a long string of heads, and the expressions of all the disciples in Fengyu Temple changed.
"I may have been too talkative these years."
The old dean walked forward slowly and spoke slowly. Neither his pace nor his tone seemed to have the slightest murderous intent.
But this long string of heads can scare people so much that they don't even dare to take a second look.
"Shangyang Palace has always opened its doors to welcome guests. Regardless of status, anyone willing to come to Shangyang Palace is welcome."
"I have been telling you all these years that we cannot stop anyone from yearning for Taoism."
"But some people, even though the door is open, they just like to sneak around and stare outside."
The old man walked to the high platform, and as soon as he let go, the heads fell to the ground. I don't know whether it was a coincidence or intentional, but the two heads were facing the sky.
Only then did people discover that the rope was as long as the disciples' team.
Heads from one end to the other.
The old man slowly walked onto the high platform, and everyone bowed and saluted.
"Cleaning up."
The old master called out as he walked up, and the priest of the Dali Sect, Shang Qingyu, quickly leaned over and said, "The disciple is here."
The old master asked: "Just last month, you talked to me about these things. You told me at that time that there were so many people watching outside Shangyang Palace. Do you want to invite me in? They might be a little embarrassed to come.
, let’s go and invite you.”
He turned back to look at Shang Qingyu: "I didn't allow you to invite me. At that time, you complained, saying that Shangyang Palace should be hospitable."
Shang Qing finished and said: "This disciple has the same attitude now. Shangyang Palace should be hospitable."
Then he said: "The master can listen to what the disciple has to say, and the disciple is also very happy."
The old master nodded slightly, then turned around and looked at the thousands of disciples under the high platform.
"Inviting them in as guests was Qing Rui's intention. If he wanted to go, I might as well go by myself because after much thought, Qing Rui was right."
The old master sat down on the lotus throne on the high platform, and his disciples leaned over to salute again.
"Every year, there are always people outside looking at the Fengyu Temple in Shangyang Palace. We ignore them because they think we can be bullied."
The old man said: "I am not interested in knowing why these people came, whose words they listened to, whose orders they followed, and why they secretly monitor every move in Fengyu Temple."
"But from today on, Shangyang disciples should remember that Shangyang Palace is hospitable. If you encounter such guests in the future, just invite them in."
He glanced at everyone: "Do you remember them all?"
"Follow the Master's orders!"
Everyone bowed and agreed.
"When Qing Hao talked to me last time, I said to him, you are already old, so don't be so angry..."
He looked at Shang Qingyu: "Are you still angry now?"
Shang Qingyu leaned over and said, "To be honest, I still have disciples."
The headmaster said: "Since you have it, then come with me to Yunzhou in a few days."
When he said this, his voice became solemn.
"I just received news. His Majesty sent someone to tell me that the Tianshuiya branch in Yunzhou was destroyed. Hundreds of disciples were killed and all the buildings were destroyed. Only the chief minister, Nie Wuzhi, was alive.
Halfway to Geling."
He asked: "Nie Wuzhi came to tell me that Shangyang Palace was bullied?"
He said, "No, he is here to tell me the names of the hundreds of children, where they are from, and how old they are."
The old man exhaled slowly.
"Some people say it's because I chose Xin Yanque to succeed me as the headmaster, and the highly respected people in Fengyu Temple are not satisfied."
"Some people say that actually they are not dissatisfied with Xin Yanque, nor do they dare. They are dissatisfied with Nie Wuzhi being the master of Fengyu Temple."
The old master looked at the four Dali Jiao priests: "Are you talking about the four of you?" In fact, there were five Dali Jiao priests in Shangyang Palace's Fengyu Temple, but one of them had a duel with Yan Beisheng.
After the war, he was seriously injured and has been recuperating. In recent years, he has rarely been seen in public.
Shang Qingyu leaned over and said, "It should be the four of us."
The old man asked: "Then do you want to be the host?"
Shang Qingwan: "I don't want to."
The old man asked: "True?"
Shang Qingyu: "Tired."
The old master nodded, looked at the other three great rites, and one of them said: "He is not tired, but I am even more tired."
The old man said: "People outside don't understand you because you are too lazy."
He said: "I will take Qing Yu to Yunzhou and give an explanation to those hundreds of children. The three of you should go out and do something. As for what to do, no matter how lazy you are, you should know what it is."
The three great ritual priests leaned over at the same time: "Disciple, I obey."
The disciples were all frightened. This incident was more frightening than the long list of heads brought back by the master.
In the thousands of years of history since the Shangyang Palace, there has never been a precedent for four Dali priests to leave Fengyu Temple together.
Even when the Chaoxin Sect caused such trouble in Yunzhou and the imperial court had to send troops to encircle and suppress it, Fengyu Temple only sent out a great ritual teacher.
What the four great rites masters did after leaving Fengyu Temple will never be revealed publicly.
But when the four great ethical teachers come back, the world will definitely become more honest, because the dishonest people will definitely be gone.
"I'm lazy and you are lazy too, but that's actually not good."
The old man said: "People outside think we are too lazy, so they bully us at our doorstep. They don't dare to make trouble with us old guys, so they have no choice but to bully my children in Shangyang Palace."
"The lives of children are more valuable than the lives of old guys like us...so are every one of you."
The old man waved his hand: "Go and support the children. Hundreds of children have died in grievance. Today I will go to the sun and demand an explanation from the entire world for them."
"yes!"
The four Dali Cuo priests responded at the same time.
Only half a month later, Yu Xin Guan got the news.
So on the day after receiving the news, Yuxinguan announced something to the outside world.
From now on, Yu Xin Guan will dispatch all second and third generation disciples to return to the world.
Disciples of Yu Xin Guan, who have not been around for too many years, want to work with Shangyang Palace to investigate the case of Tian Shui Ya.
Everyone involved in this case has a mortal hatred for him.
A few days later, Xisheng Temple, which was much more low-key than Yuxinguan, also announced something to the public.
Because Xisheng Temple has recently sensed that the world is too hostile, it will send ten people to travel around the world to promote Buddhism and be compassionate to people.
Unlike Yuxinguan, which sent hundreds of disciples, Xisheng Temple only sent ten people.
But people in the world have not forgotten that there are only ten great monks in the Discipline Hall of Xisheng Temple who can practice the Wrath of Vajra.
Are these ten great monks walking around the world really out to be compassionate and save people?
Saving people may be truly saving people, but if you are compassionate or not, no one will be able to see it.
Geling City.
Aunt Yue, the great enshrinement of Tianjianting in Daxue Mountain, who had just arrived in Geling, changed her face after hearing the news.
"Send someone back, send someone back immediately."
Aunt Yue's voice became hoarse without realizing it, and when she spoke, her temples seemed to be beating.
"Please investigate carefully, the owner of the pavilion, whether the matter in Tianshui Cliff is related to our disciples. If so, please order the owner of the pavilion to clean up the people immediately. There must be no reason to be caught by the people from Shangyang Palace."
She was really panicked this time.
If the old master leaves Geling in person, he can go to Yunzhou, or of course he can go to Daxue Mountain.
Xin Yanque has already disgraced Tianjianting. If this matter is really related to Tianjianting, the old master will definitely not just let the Snow Mountain avalanche once.
No matter how proud the people of Tianjianting are, they still know that Jiang
Whose lake is it?
After she finished her instructions, she immediately shook her head: "No need, I'll go back in person."
She just came.
Xin Yanqi took a trip to the Snowy Mountains. Although he completely exposed the face of the pavilion owner, he finally invited the pavilion owner to watch the ceremony at Geling during the Double Ninth Festival next year.
Therefore, as the most trusted person of the pavilion owner, she came to Geling in advance to make preparations and to inquire about the news about the various forces in Geling City in advance.
Now she can't sit still.
"Prepare the car, I'm leaving now."
After she finished speaking, everyone under her command was stunned.
"Aunt Yue, we just arrived today..."
"Did you not hear what I said clearly?"
Aunt Yue's face turned cold: "Do you need me to say it again?"
The men were so frightened that their hearts trembled. If anyone dared to say anything more, they immediately ran out to prepare.
The cart has not yet finished unloading the things it is pulling, so it is about to leave.
At the same time, thirty miles outside Geling City, there was Shiqiao Villa.
This is the property of the Wang family, and it's not a secret property, it's just open to the public.
Everyone in the south of the Yangtze River knows that the head of the Wang family lives in Shiqiao Villa and lives a life like a wandering cloud and a wild crane.
People in Jiangnan also know that although few people from the Wang family are officials in the court, many people who are officials in the court are from the Wang family, even if their surname is not Wang.
Some people were originally named Wang, but because they wanted to be officials, they couldn't change their surname to Wang. Some people wanted to be named Wang because they became officials.
Therefore, people here in Jiangnan would call him the patron king in private.
I don’t know how many of the civil and military officials in Dayu’s court relied on the support of the Mountain King to be able to sit firmly in the court.
According to the promise made by the Wang family to the royal Xie family, the Wang family would not allow any of their descendants to join the officialdom if necessary.
But the Wang family has many ways to let people from the Wang family and people who want to be members of the Wang family serve as officials.
If a person wants to be an official in the court, what kind of official he should be, which yamen he should be an official in, and how big an official he should be, may not count according to the officials, but it will definitely count according to the backer king.
In the backyard of Stone Bridge Villa, when the head of the Wang family, known as the Patron King, listened to his subordinates report the news, his state of mind could not help but change slightly.
"Master."
The subordinate said cautiously: "Not only the people arranged by the family outside Shangyang Palace were killed by Old Master, but also the people arranged by other families outside Shangyang Palace. Old Master personally killed hundreds of people."
Hundreds of people, think about it, there are no mediocre people sent to keep an eye on Shangyang Palace?
Wang Luoshen asked: "How long did it take the old man to kill hundreds of people?"
The subordinate replied: "It is said that there is less than a cup of tea."
One of those two practitioners at the peak of the Martial Peak Realm is from the Wang family.
"Lin'er and Shan'er are really reckless this time."
Wang Luoshen muttered to himself.
"Send people to the north, find them two no matter what, and bring them back."
Wang Luoshen closed his eyes.
Even if the Wang family lost a practitioner at the peak of the Martial Arts Realm, it was enough to make him feel heartbroken.
"If the two of them disobey, there is no need to discuss it with them, just capture them."
"yes."
The subordinates responded, turned around and ran out.
"You two..."
Wang Luoshen said to himself: "I trust you too much and think you can stand alone, but you are also too conceited. The Wang family has not provoked Shangyang Palace for so many years. You really think that the Wang family has always been inferior to you."
