The muscles on Liu Zhan's cheeks trembled unnoticeably. Just now he thought that the people in the Jianghu who were recruited on behalf of the king were really shameless, but now he found that the people in the Taoist temple may not be decent either!
I couldn't help but frown: "What's all the fuss about? What a shame!"
The Taoist priest who came over waved his hand and wanted to speak, but was too anxious to speak. Seeing Liu Zhan's face darken, he had to point to the side hall and say, "Look, look!"
This is simple and easy to understand, so let Liu Zhan take a look.
Liu Zhan didn't know what this man was doing, so he looked over casually, and was shocked at this sight.
I saw that the door of the temple was open. From here, I could see the statue of the god inside, but something was wrong with the statue. It seemed to be covered with a layer of red light.
"Is it the refraction that King Dai said?" Liu Zhan couldn't help but take another two steps towards it. At this moment, the statue in the temple "buzzed" and burst out with a red glow!
"this!"
Not to mention an ordinary Taoist, even Liu Zhan was stunned. Could it be that this was a divine manifestation? This was Liu Zhan's first reaction.
However, the light only lasted for a few seconds and then disappeared. Liu Zhan strode forward, reached it, and looked at it carefully.
The hall was relatively dark, and the statues darkened by smoke were motionless. It seemed that the glow just now was just an illusion. No matter how you look at it now, the statues in front of you are no different from the past.
Liu Zhan was very sure that he was not dazzled just now, so he took a few steps back, called the Taoist just now, and whispered: "What is going on? When did the statue start to shine?"
The Taoist was able to speak at this time and hurriedly said: "Master, the statue of the god was only revealed for a moment. Xiaodao was shocked when he saw it, so he asked you to come and see it."
Liu Zhan estimated the time and found that the statue had not been glowing for long.
But now it is no longer a question of whether it will grow long or not, but the appearance of the god's statue. It is said that laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the door. Just thinking about it carefully, sweat appeared on Liu Zhan's forehead.
Obviously, there was a fireball just falling down, and now the statue in the Taoist temple is showing a red glow. I don't know if there is any connection between the two things. If something happens again in the future, it may affect the Yin Guan sect.
In the past, a Sanskrit temple was destroyed by Zhou Xuan, and the whole temple was destroyed. This incident was leaked, but they still didn't know anything and had no countermeasures. Who knows whether the end will be worse!
Thinking of this, Liu Zhan came to his senses and immediately told the Taoist: "Go and notify the elders here. Go quickly without delay."
Although the Taoist was not very smart, he had experienced two major events today. No matter how fuzzy his head was, he knew something big was going to happen. He immediately responded and ran out quickly.
At this moment, the nearest Shi Lingxiu rushed over: "What happened? The statue appeared? Isn't it candlelight or sunlight?"
Liu Zhan immediately responded: "Just now, I saw it with my own eyes. It was definitely not false, and I didn't touch anything inside. Uncle Master, you have always had spiritual awareness, and you can tell the authenticity at a glance."
Shi Lingxiu was about to enter the palace, but suddenly stopped: "I'll wait for your uncle."
Liu Zhan was startled, then sighed secretly: "Even Uncle Shi was careful and guarded against me. What happened back then, although it was unavoidable, also hurt people's hearts."
At that time, Shi Lingxiu was a rising star with a high reputation in the sect, but because of his trust in the sect, he followed a junior fellow apprentice to a place he shouldn't have entered, and he fell into the trap easily.
In reality, there are not many "comebacks", and there are only one or two opportunities in life. Although after a period of troubles, he did not get much punishment. On the contrary, the junior brother was kicked out.
But he has already missed the position of the head disciple.
While he was deep in thought, another middle-aged Taoist priest came over and asked, "What happened? Are you so anxious? Is there any damage to the temple?"
"Uncle Zhan, please come in, something strange happened in the palace." Liu Zhan asked and filed in one by one, and explained the matter clearly in a few words.
Both of them changed their expressions. When they looked carefully, they found that the size of this hall was not large. The middle door was an incense cauldron. There was half a foot of incense ashes in the cauldron, and there was a statue of a god wearing armor and holding a whip. It was darkened by the smoke.
There's nothing special about it.
Uncle Zhan frowned: "Is this General Cai Ling? Why did it appear when other patriarchs didn't have spiritual manifestations? Could it be that he was conferred the title of True Monarch by the imperial court?"
Shi Lingxiu said: "Being granted the title of True Lord is privately granted by our Taoist sect and is only entrusted to the imperial court. How could this be the reason?"
Liu Zhan remained silent. This general, Cai Ling, was the first Dharma protector general launched by the Yin Guan sect to guard the mountain gate.
According to legend, his name is Cai Bushan. He received talismans from his ancestor in the previous dynasty. He was extremely skilled in martial arts and capable of killing a lot of evil. He made great military exploits for the Yin Guan sect.
This class of people were naturally not welcomed by the imperial court. Even if the real head master later took the opportunity to ask for a title, he could only get an eighth-grade title.
But with this, you can be worshiped in public. This is the one who guards the gate of the Yin Guan Taoist temple.
In the past few decades, he has been promoted from "Spiritual General" to "Heavenly General", and from "Heavenly General" to "True King". However, these are all fake names, but it doesn't matter. As long as it is passed down for a long time, later generations of the court may believe it to be true.
, grant the imperial seal and make the false come true.
All Taoist titles were obtained through deception.
But now it's strange. None of the ancestors appeared. Why did this god appear?
Liu Zhan pondered for a long time and looked at Shi Lingxiu: "Uncle Master, there is a big earthquake outside, thunder and black mushroom clouds are also appearing, which seems to be an ominous sign."
"You are the elder of my sect, please don't keep it."
Shi Lingxiu's eyes twitched faintly, and he said after a long time: "Headmaster, I looked carefully just now. There are traces of spiritual light on the statue, which shows that Cai Ling will be a saint. However, not only can this matter not be publicized deeply, but it must be investigated immediately.
You know, the gods' backlash is never alarmist."
Shi Lingxiu said, his tone had become serious: "You and I both know how the protector came. There are good and bad, but even if you are loyal and loyal in life, you may not be able to maintain your true character after death. After all, many things will happen after death.
Once you see through it, you can’t deceive it anymore.”
"The only thing is to rely on force control."
"You and I both know that in order to manifest a spirit in the world, the first thing we need is strength. No other ancestors have had a spiritual manifestation now, and it is really not a good thing for it to appear. Its status must be investigated immediately."
Liu Zhan seemed to have thought of this, his face was as cold as a layer of frost. After hearing this, he immediately said: "What uncle Shi said is absolutely true. I will immediately issue a decree and order Dongtian to investigate whether there is anything unusual about General Cai Ling. If there is anything unusual,
Otherwise, you can use forbidden methods to immediately imprison or even knock him down."
"Also, as soon as the king came, I saw a series of strange signs. The Taiyi bell chimed, the ancestor predicted, and there were earthquakes, thunder, mushroom black clouds, and the appearance of divine generals. It was even more unusual."
"This is an extraordinary change. The vortex is very big. If something unexpected happens, the foundation of our Yin Guan sect may be destroyed. I want to summon all the elders to discuss this matter."
"Especially regarding the King of Dai, we are now quite involved with him. Whether he is a strong man cutting off his arm, or whether he is a strong supporter, or whether he is near or far away, we have to come up with a charter - what do you think?"
"The master is wise." The two Taoists had no different meanings to these words and said in agreement.
