After sending the monks away, Fang Zheng returned to the Zen room. Not long after, the heads of the Prajna Hall, Arhat Hall, Bodhi Hall, Bodhi Hall, Damo Hall and other halls and courtyards were invited one by one.
Some people have heard about it, but they are not sure what happened. However, these are also Shaolin monks. Although they are curious, they are also determined. When everyone arrives, Fang Zheng takes a deep breath.
He glanced at everyone present and said, "Everyone, you might as well take a look at this greeting letter."
After hearing this, many people turned their eyes to the greeting card and felt a little curious in their hearts.
In today's world, Shaolin and Wudang can be said to be the leaders of the righteous path. Even the masters of the Sun and Moon God Sect do not dare to come to Shaolin to act recklessly.
I don’t know how many years no one has dared to come to Shaolin to submit a greeting card. Suddenly, I heard that someone was sending a greeting card, which really shocked everyone present.
The leader of the Prajna Hall put his hands together, made a Buddhist salute, and then took the greeting card from Fang Zheng's hand, opened it and saw the content on it.
The leader of the Prajna Hall suddenly shrank his eyes, and subconsciously looked towards Fang Zheng with a look of astonishment on his face.
Seeing the expression on the head of the Prajna Hall, several other chiefs couldn't help but become curious. What was the content of this greeting card, and why did the head of the Prajna Hall be so surprised?
Next, the greeting card passed through the hands of many people, and finally returned to Fang Zheng's hands.
It was quiet in the Zen room, and everyone looked solemn. After a while, Fang Zheng broke the calm with a long shout of Buddha's name and said: "Everyone, this matter is of great importance. You might as well share your opinions."
The leader of the Zhengdao Temple is an old monk with profound Buddhist teachings. It can be said that he is the most calm and calm person present after reading the content of the prayers.
I heard him clasping his hands together and saying: "Abbott, since you are the emperor's imperial envoy, I, Shaolin, should open the gate of the mountain to welcome the imperial envoy."
The head of the Luohan Hall opened his eyes and said with a flash of light: "But he is the governor of the East Factory, a eunuch..."
The leader of the Zhengdao Academy put his hands together and said: "Junior brother, my Buddha has said that all living beings are equal, princes, generals, traffickers and soldiers are all living beings in the mortal world..."
The head of the Luohan Hall looked stagnant. Although he felt a little dissatisfied, Zhengdao Temple was a place where real eminent monks gathered in the Shaolin Temple. Although the monks in the Zhengdao Temple did not practice martial arts, they devoted themselves to studying Buddhism.
The eminent monk with profound Buddhist teachings has a status far above that of Luohan Hall.
The leader of the Discipline Academy said slowly: "Yes, the other party represents today's society. We, Shaolin, must open our gates to welcome you. Otherwise, once the other party catches you with an excuse, Shaolin will be the least able to afford it."
It can be seen that most of the people present are in support of welcoming Chu Yi to the Shaolin Temple. Fang Zheng, who is sitting at the top, clasped his hands and said: "Brothers, brothers, I will make my own decision on this matter. I, Shaolin, will open the gate to welcome you."
The Imperial Envoy, Governor Chu!"
When talking about the imperial ministers, Fang Zheng's voice was a little serious, obviously reminding everyone that they were not greeting the governor of Dongchang, but the imperial ministers who represented the emperor.
Even if it spreads to the world at some point, Shaolin will still have its own theory, so that people will not mistakenly think that they are afraid of the Dongchang eunuchs and ruin the thousand-year reputation of Shaolin.
But at the bottom of the mountain, Chu Yi and his party went straight to the Dengfeng County Government Office.
In the capacity of Chu Yi and his party, when a mere county magistrate learned that the governor of Dongchang was coming, his first reaction was to be scared to death, thinking that he was about to be arrested and questioned by Dongchang.
Later, when he learned that they were not here to arrest him, the magistrate of Dengfeng breathed a sigh of relief and welcomed Chu Yi and his party into the county government office with great trepidation.
There may be some tough civil servants, but the Dengfeng magistrate is obviously not. He is so flattering that he almost regards Chu Yi as his ancestor.
"If you have any orders, Lord Governor, I will definitely not disappoint you."
Chu Yi sat there and ignored the magistrate who was hunched over with a flattering look on his face. Cao Shaoqin took a step forward and said to the magistrate with a slight disdain: "My Lord Governor is going to Shaolin Temple tomorrow, please send someone to make preparations."
, remember to prepare what the imperial envoy needs to rely on!"
The magistrate of Dengfeng showed a bit of joy when he heard this. He nodded repeatedly and said: "Your Majesty, I know, I will leave this matter to you. I will not disappoint you."
But it was said that Ding Mian, the pagoda master, and others returned to Songshan in embarrassment.
When Zuo Lengchan, the head of the Songshan Sect, saw the embarrassed looks of Ding Mian and others, his first reaction was naturally to be furious, especially when he learned that Zhao Sihai had his heart broken.
However, although he was furious, Zuo Lengchan was very calm. He stared at Ding Mian and the others and said, "What is going on? Tell me honestly."
Ding Mian told Zuo Lengchan what had happened. Zuo Lengchan was sitting there. At some point, the hot tea in the cup in his hand had turned into a piece of ice, exuding wisps of cold air.
"Lingnan Sword God Qi Hu!"
Ding Mian nodded and said: "Yes, it is said that this person wiped out the whole family for Ren Wo Xing in the past and has disappeared from the world for nearly twenty years. I didn't expect that he would reappear in the world today and even become someone else's subordinate."
Zuo Lengchan became more and more calm and said slowly: "Qi Hu used to tolerate neither good nor evil and disappeared. It seems that he took care of the imperial court."
Above the rivers and lakes, those who cannot tolerate the two paths of good and evil will mostly choose to take refuge in the imperial court. This is also the source of the masters of the rivers and lakes recruited by Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
Lu Bai frowned and said, "In that case, that group of people must be members of the government."
Lu Bai looked at Zuo Lengchan and said, "Master, do you want to kill them?"
This means that there are no outsiders. If there were outsiders present, they would be shocked by Lu Bai's rebellious words.
Killing an official is tantamount to rebellion, but looking at Lu Bai's nonchalant attitude, it is obvious that in their hearts, the court officials have no weight at all. To them, if the court officials kill, they will be killed. Could it be said that the court can still control it?
Jianghu?
Zuo Lengchan glared at Lu Bai. If he was just an ordinary official, even if he was a county magistrate, he would just kill him. To the Songshan Sect, it would be nothing at all.
But Zuo Lengchan had to consider that the officials who could be escorted by a master like Qi Hu were probably not comparable to a seventh-grade sesame official like a mere county magistrate.
Even though they said they didn't care about the imperial court, unless they really wanted to rebel, they would not dare to provoke those senior officials and ministers of the imperial court.
If the Songshan sect really dares to kill a prince, nobleman or a member of the imperial court who is guarding the pastoral side, the imperial army will kill him within a few days of keeping it. No matter how powerful the Songshan sect is, it is absolutely impossible to kill him.
Thousands of opponents of the imperial army.
With a click, the tea cup in Zuo Lengchan's hand was crushed to pieces, and Zuo Lengchan said, "You guys go down to rest for now. I will go check it out personally. I'll tell you what the details are when I get back."
After several ups and downs, Zuo Lengchan left the Songshan Sect and headed straight down the mountain.
Due to some delay, after Zuo Lengchan asked Ding Mian and others what happened, Chu Yi and his party had already arrived at the Dengfeng County Government Office.
Zuo Lengchan did not hesitate and went straight to the Dengfeng County Government Office.
After all, it was getting late now, and if nothing else happened, the senior officials passing by would either stay in the inn or live in Dengfeng County.
With the power that the Songshan Sect has established around Songshan for many years, it is naturally not difficult to find out the information.
In Dengfeng County, in a Songshan Sect stronghold, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper was carefully reporting the news to Zuo Lengchan.
"Master, I have inquired clearly. Almost half an hour ago, a group of people entered from the east gate and went straight to the government office. Someone saw that the magistrate was very respectful to the group of people and reserved the entire city.
The best place to stay is for that group of people."
Zuo Lengchan nodded slightly and said, "Have you ever found out the origin of that group of people?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "The county government is under martial law, and there is no news about the people we arranged in the county government. However, just seeing the magistrate personally escorting him to his residence, we can at least conclude that this group of people must be extraordinary.
