In a small temple near the two children, a clay Buddha statue enshrined suddenly trembled slightly.
Immediately afterwards, as if the infection was stimulated, in temples farther away, statues of Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas appeared, and their originally slightly closed eyes began to glow with an imperceptible silver light.
They originally accepted people's worship in the temple without saying a word, but at this moment, they seemed to feel something.
Dadu, Xizong, Zhenfo Temple, Great Sun Tathagata Hall.
When Master Yuan knelt down to pray and chant scriptures every day, his expression was pious, and his round body seemed to be less funny and more solemn.
It's just different from usual times. In the incense burner placed in front of him, the smoke of the incense sticks was rising straight up.
At this time, there is no wind automatically, and all the smoke suddenly bends in a certain direction, as if pointing fingers in that direction.
"Huh?" Master Yuan seemed to be aware of it and opened his eyes to look at the smoke.
After pondering for a moment, he shouted sharply.
"Someone is coming!"
Soon, the young novice monk guarding the door came in and bowed to the ground respectfully. "What are the abbot's orders?"
"Please Yu Ling." Master Yuan stood up and looked at the smoke again, and found that he had returned to his straight position.
"yes!"
The novice monk left, and soon a voluptuous woman wearing a simple white gauze walked in.
The woman was holding a tray in her hand, with an irregular black jade slab placed inside.
Master Yuan picked up the jade tablet and closed his eyes. A large white mist suddenly spread around him, covering the whole hall.
Wait until all the fog completely covers the surrounding area.
He exhaled slightly and opened his eyes again.
The originally empty surface of the jade tablet in his hand now had lines of text on it.
Master Yuan quickly read the handwriting and his eyes became darker.
He raised his hand and waved, and the surrounding fog automatically dispersed and disappeared.
"Where is the new replacement Yuan Feng? Let him come over."
"yes."
The woman responded softly and stepped back.
Another dozen breaths passed.
The ground began to vibrate slightly, and heavy footsteps continued to approach, as if someone heavy was approaching.
Soon, a giant man who was more than three meters tall, wearing only a white gauze to cover his vitals, walked to the door of the main hall and stepped in.
The giant man had a fleshy face, eyes like copper bells, a string of blood-red Buddhist beads hanging around his neck, and many pink lipstick marks from women's kisses still remaining on his arms.
"Yuanfeng has met the abbot." The giant man respectfully walked towards Master Yuan.
Buddhist ritual.
"Buddha's decree, there is a taboo in the direction of Shan Province. It is the first time it has appeared. Please take someone to deal with it." Master Yuan ordered.
"Taboo? Over there in Shan Province?"
"It should be inside Wushan Mansion. The specific location is just Mohu's perception. You guys bring things there to locate it."
"Wushan Mansion..." The giant man hesitated, "That's the place where the Taoist sect has made it clear that no one is allowed to be disturbed. Isn't it bad for a poor monk to just go there like this..."
Although he looks ferocious, he has a gentle personality, behaves politely, and does not act recklessly when encountering problems.
"How long the Grand Master Yue can hold on is still a question." Master Yuan sneered, "Besides, this matter is related to a taboo, so what's the use even if he objects? You can go on your own. If something happens, I will help you with it. .”
Yuanfeng was still hesitant and stood still. In Xizong, promises were never trustworthy.
There are not many people waiting to fill their seats to worship God.
Many people respected him on the surface, but secretly they wished he would die soon.
Seeing this, Master Yuan softened his tone.
"Yue Dewen himself can't be saved now. Apart from him, the Taoist Sect's headquarters, Yuxu Palace, has also returned to its headquarters. So you have nothing to fear."
"The young monk is not afraid, he just doesn't want to go all the way in vain.@82·8·2·z·w·c·o·m" Yuanfeng explained, "Since the abbot has spoken, the poor monk will just go there."
"Well, there is a Immortal Temple over there, and it is probably related to that Immortal Temple. If you have free time, after you are done, grab a few Taoists from that Immortal Temple and come over and have a look with me."
"yes."
Yuanfeng responded in a deep voice, turned around and retreated.
Watching him leave, Master Yuan frowned slightly and fell into thought.
Nowadays, there are not many grand masters in the Zhenfo Temple. Almost all of them are grand masters of the Yuan generation. However, in the entire temple, there are only ten of the Yuan generation who can take action. The rest are ordinary grand masters with higher seniority who are waiting to fill their seats.
.
Even when the various religions fought against each other before, several people died, but they still haven't fully recovered their strength now.
This time something taboo suddenly appeared.
Reminiscing about the loss of a great god-worshiping master from the previous investigation team, he felt a little uneasy.
If this group dies, the new ones will become weaker and weaker, and the overall strength will become worse and worse.
After thinking for a while, he clapped his hands again and summoned a young novice monk.
"Is the leader of the Yuxin Sect Sang Lan still there?"
"I'm still here. I'm currently in the temple as a guest at the Baixiang Banquet and watching the dance of the demons." The novice replied.
"Go and ask him to come over."
"Yes." The novice stepped back.
Master Yuan breathed out, he and Yuan Hong were the only spiritual generals in Zhenfo Temple now.
Unable to move.
But just because they can't move doesn't mean others can't.
Over the years, Zhenfo Temple has spent a lot of money to support the Sanglan leader.
Since the sect to which he belonged was destroyed, the leader has been relying on the protection of the Western Sect to survive to this day.
Naturally, such crippled generals would not dare to deal with the forces of other major sects. Their backing is not weak.
But it's still very easy to deal with guys who don't have a big church to back them up.
*********
When Xizong sent out an investigation team, a large spiritual army that was returning to Dadu from the border also got the news.
This spiritual army totaled more than 300,000 people. It marched like a long snake, stretched for dozens of miles, and was divided into multiple military branches in the front, middle and back.
With this division, when attacked, they can be divided into separate legions to command independently and respond to enemy attacks.
The marching general formation is located in the central army.
At this time, in the military formation, a tall man with fair skin and blue eyes and a beautiful moustache was wearing a Confucian robe, holding a book and reading carefully.
This man clearly has a spiritual figure and facial features, but his complexion is fair. He is obviously the commander of an army, and he is still holding a belittled Confucian scroll and reading it carefully.
Obviously, as a general, he doesn't wear armor. He just dresses up for daily use and rides swaying on horseback, which doesn't affect the speed of turning the pages of the book.
This is quite unusual anywhere.
But here, within this military formation called the Zhixiang Army, the surrounding generals have long been accustomed to it.
There was a crash, and the man suddenly stopped reading, as if he had noticed something.
"It's actually an oracle." The man's eyes showed surprise.
"General? Is this a big deal?" a female general on the side asked in a deep voice.
"No." The man smiled, "It's a taboo again. But we shouldn't be the first to discover it."
"Should we allocate manpower to investigate?" the female general asked.
"If you have nothing to do, why don't you take a group of people to take a look and hang them cleanly. Otherwise, the God Lords will be unhappy." The man said casually.
"It's an order."
The female general turned around, rode away, and began to order people to divide into groups.
The man continued to ride his horse forward unsteadily. Compared with the turbulent situation outside, his style was completely different.
Leisurely and relaxed.
He is also qualified to be leisurely.
As one of the four great generals in the world, he had been sitting aloof many years ago, watching the changes in the situation, and no one could touch him.
No matter how things change outside, the winner in the end must stand in front of him and bow his head in salute.
"Baiyintib!!"
Suddenly there was a loud thunderous noise in the distance.
A huge black shadow held a pair of huge copper hammers, swung them and smashed down the blocking cavalry, and charged straight towards the man.
"You should be called Lord God General. It is rude to call others by their first names." The man put down the book with a displeased look on his face.
"Destroy my orthodoxy and kill my disciples! Today I have also reached the highest level and come to take your life!!"
The black figure rushed over, and it turned out to be a burly, yellow-haired giant with armor made entirely of spiritual threads on both arms.
"You still haven't figured it out yet."
The man had some time to rest and inserted the book into the belt on his back.
"There is a difference between humans and dogs."
Opening his narrowed eyes, he smiled slightly, and his blue eyes reflected the figure of the other party approaching quickly.
"And I'm human."
"You are just a dog."
Wow!!
In an instant, a thin black line shot out from the shadow under him, piercing the giant man's chest like a tentacle.
The giant man also tried to block it.
But the double hammers in his hands were unable to block it at all, and were pierced through in just an instant.
The extremely powerful spiritual thread armor on his body also collapsed like tofu at the first touch.
One second. Browser*search*:@82·…fastest update…
puff!!
Countless black spikes suddenly pierced through his body from the inside.
It's like black threads growing and exploding in his body instantly.
The black thorns penetrated its skin and bones, turning it into a ball of black thorns in the blink of an eye.
Peng!!!
In an instant, the giant man exploded and turned into countless black ash, slowly floating away.
The black line shrank, returning to the shadow beneath the man.
"If a dog barks randomly, he will be eaten..."
He said meaningfully, continued to take out the book, and started reading again.
It was already commonplace for people around me, so it was not surprising.
Still keep moving forward.
*****
Life in Wushan Mansion is extremely comfortable, and Zhang Rongfang has not lived such a life for a long time.
You don't need to worry about anything every day, you just need to practice well, then read a book, drink tea in the afternoon, practice literary skills, exercise your body in the evening, and practice martial arts.
Make an elixir before going to bed and replenish the needed elixirs.
My sister and husband are also by my side, and Renxianguan now wants Nuxia to protect me, so I am extremely safe.
Everything is on track.
It was the life he wanted to live before.
Just one thing.
Return to Yuannu Gorge, in the newly built cave study.
Zhang Rongfang let out a long sigh and put away the news about Taoism that he had just received.
"Over at Yuxu Palace, my uncle has brought people back to Qingchuan Mansion. It seems that he has fallen out with Master Yue over at Dadu."
The more his strength grows, the more he can understand the chaotic situation outside.
The more peace you have around you, the more you need to be prepared for danger in times of peace and be prepared to deal with everything.
Especially now that the Immortal Temple has appeared in the world and has shown its ability to restrain worship of gods, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the forces of gods and Buddhas.
Therefore, the culling of the divine and Buddhist forces is a situation that he must face.
After putting down this piece of information, Zhang Rongfang picked up the second page.
This page is very thin, but it records something more troublesome than before.
Zhang Rongfang lowered his head and scanned it again, his expression suddenly became solemn.
"The Xizong sent an investigation team, the Zhixiang Army also sent out investigation troops to go here, and many other sects sent people here, all on the pretext of investigating the Red Turban Army. The Red Turban thugs were absorbed and suppressed by King Mu Li's army. Now that the environment is just right, these people can’t wait..."
He carefully calculated in his mind and speculated on the strength of these first batch of people.
Suddenly, white mist slowly appeared around the study.
An inexplicable feeling suddenly flooded into his mind.
It was as if something had some power, drawing him into a trance.
