Infinite cycle of the heavens

Hou Hou gave him a strange look, and said: "Everyone in the world knows about this, so you probably don't understand it. Our Holy Gate and Cihang Jingzhai had an agreement to send a successor every 20 years." In the competition, the loser will not be allowed to set foot in the rivers and lakes for the next 20 years. Therefore, my seniors of the holy sect will not attack Shi Feixuan, and similarly, Shi Feixuan will not recruit fellow martial artists to besiege the slave family. Otherwise, this agreement will be voided. At that time, there will be an all-out scuffle between the two factions, which will be of no benefit to anyone."

Qi Fang said: "Is it okay if I make a move?"

Hou Hou explained: "First, Qi Lang is not a member of my holy sect, so it is not a violation of the agreement if you do something. Second, you have broken the slave's body first, so that Hou'er is at a disadvantage before you do anything, since you want to be fair Contest, if you try to fight against Concubine Shixuan now, they will not say anything. Moreover, using the power of a third party is also the default thing for our two factions. In the past few times, our holy disciples have lost in Cihangjing like this. It is in the hands of the heir of Zhai. Therefore, it is very suitable to invite Qi Lang, can you help him? The big deal is that he will serve you with Sister Feixuan, and he will agree to any pose you want to play."

Hearing what Houhou said, Qi Fang's face changed several times in succession, first showing a look of excitement, then a look of embarrassment, then a look of hesitation, and finally he said with a righteous face: "Since you are begging me so much, look For your sake, I reluctantly agreed, hahaha..."

"Smiling so rippling, is this a matter of reluctance? I have never seen such a brazen person like you." Wan Wan gave him an angry look, and then said: "Then it's settled, and when Shi Feixuan appears , someone will come to inform you, let's arrest her, and then..."

"Understood, I will leave the rest to me. With such a heavy responsibility, who else can I do?" Qi Fang said impassionedly.

Hou Hou stared at him dumbfounded, and quietly said: "You didn't enter my holy door, it's a waste of your talent."

Qi Fang raised his eyebrows proudly, and said: "Your husband and I are very talented, and there are many advantages that you haven't discovered." After a pause, he said: "By the way, what is the current situation in Luoyang City?"

Hou Hou showed a ridiculous expression, and then said: "Almost all the people who should come have come. Among the four big clans, except Yuwen clan who was too busy to take care of themselves and didn't send people, the other three clans have sent people here. Li clan came Li Shimin, the second son of Li Yuan, Song Shidao, the son of Tiandao, Song Yuzhi, the second lady, and Song Lu from the Song Clan, and Dugu Ba and Dugu Sheng of the Dugu Clan also withdrew from Jiangdu. Most of the rebel forces in the north were Some people were sent here, but because of the route or other reasons, the number of people who came from the Southern Rebel Army was relatively small. Among them, the more famous ones were Changbai Wang Bo, Hebei Liu Heita, Bingzhou Song Jingang, and Wagang Shen Luoyan. It can be said that they are all heroes. get together."

"Besides, there are also many masters from outside the Great Wall who came to join in the fun, such as 'Flying Eagle' Qu Ao, the master of Tie Le, Prince Fuqian of Tuyuhun, Tuli, the little khan of East Turkic, and Tuoba, a disciple of 'Wu Zun' Bi Xuan Yu, Chunyuwei and others."

"There is another piece of news that is not sure." Speaking of this, Hou Hou's face showed a solemn look for the first time. "Someone saw Ning Daoqi in the area of ​​Bashu, he seems to be coming..."

Ning Daoqi, the number one scattered person in the Central Plains, the name of the great master hangs over everyone like a mountain, not only in the Central Plains, but also in several surrounding countries.

Qi slowed his head and said: "It's kind of interesting, but it's also expected. Quan'er sits in Luoyang, and no one dares to ignore her even if she doesn't show up. Shi Feixuan was afraid that she would not be able to control the situation, so she sent Ning Laodao Please come and cheer, it seems that the person she chose is still not Yang Tong."

Wan Wan hesitated for a moment, and said, "Tell sister Mingyu to be careful. The old monk Kong, who presides over the Jingnian Temple, is a person of the same generation as the ancestor of my sect. This person's martial arts are definitely not inferior to Ning Daoqi. Because he practiced closed mouth meditation, he hasn't left the temple for decades, so his reputation is not obvious, so he must be treated with caution. I'm afraid that Ning Daoqi came here not only to reconcile the jade, but also to target Mingyu Grandmaster."

Qi Fang sneered, and said: "I know, don't worry, a person who hasn't done it for decades, I'm afraid he has forgotten how to do it with others. Besides, can you do something for me?"

Wan Wan said, "What's the matter?"

Qi Fang said: "Help me release a message, say that He Shibi is hiding in Jingnian Temple now, let this news spread throughout Luoyang within a day."

Houhou's expression changed, and he said in surprise, "You want to..."

Qi Fang nodded and said, "That's right, it's better to strike first."

……

It didn't take a day, it only took two hours, and the news had already reached the ears of all the heroes from all walks of life.

Royal Palace.

Emperor Yang Tong summoned his ministers to discuss matters in the Golden Dragon Hall.

Yang Tong looked at the ministers in the palace and said, "All Aiqings must know about this, what do you think?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.

Yang Tong looked at Dugu Feng and said, "I don't know what Dugu Shouqing thinks about this matter?"

Dugufeng coughed lightly, and had no choice but to say: "Heshibi has been a symbol of the emperor since ancient times, and no matter what, it must not be left outside. Since Heshibi is in Jingnian Temple, let them hand it over. Wang Shangshu controls the soldiers in the city Ma Daquan, why don't you hand over this matter to Wang Shangshu, I think you won't disappoint the emperor."

Yang Tong nodded slightly, looked at Wang Shichong, and said, "What does Wang Shangshu think?"

Wang Shichong hated in his heart, glared at Dugu Feng, and said: "My Majesty, I think this is a bit strange. There was no news about He Shibi before, but today, this news suddenly spread throughout Luoyang. I am afraid that this matter is manipulated by someone behind the scenes, deliberately releasing this news, there must be a shocking conspiracy, so don't act rashly, think twice before acting."

Dugufeng immediately retorted: "Whether someone deliberately spread rumors or not, but the matter has spread all over Luoyang, it is related to the honor and disgrace of the national system, so we must do it."

Wang Shichong asked loudly: "Even if there is a conspiracy trap, do you want to jump?"

Dugu Feng said decisively: "That's right. If we don't act, what kind of majesty does this dynasty have?"

Wang Shichong sneered, and said: "Then why not ask Commander Dugu to go to Jingnian Temple and return to Yuxi. I will prepare a banquet here to celebrate Commander Dugu's achievements."

Dugufeng laughed and said: "As the commander of the imperial guards, I must protect the emperor at all times, how can I leave my post without authorization?"

Wang Shichong rolled his eyes and his heart moved. This old fox is not good at dealing with rebels, but he is very good at dealing with his own people when he plays tricks. It is not easy to act rashly, it is better to send two pioneers to explore the way, find out the truth of the matter, and then make a decision."

Dugufeng instantly understood Wang Shichong's intentions, his eyes lit up, and said: "Wang Shangshu's words are quite pertinent. One of the ministers recommended him. The deputy commander of the minister, Xu Ziling, is a young hero with extraordinary wit. Let him come forward to inquire about the Buddhist monastery. It's perfect for losing the majesty of the dynasty, without appearing too frivolous, and for clarifying the matter."

Wang Shi acted immediately and said: "The minister also recommends one person. Kou Zhong, the servant of the Ministry of War, is a young hero with extraordinary bravery. If he comes forward, he will surely be able to accomplish this matter."

"This……"

Yang Tong hesitated for a moment, looked at Su Quan, and said, "What do you think?"

Su Quan nodded very calmly, and said, "Yes."

Yang Tong said: "Well, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling listen to the order. I order you to be the vanguard envoys of the left and right to go to the Jingnian Temple to retrieve the jade seal. This is a very important matter and there must be no mistakes."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other, and said, "I obey the order."

……

The two immediately led a hundred soldiers to the Jingnian Temple in the eastern suburbs.

Kou Zhong bumped Xu Ziling with his shoulder, and said: "I heard that Jingnian Temple is the mainstay of Baidao martial arts, and it is also known as Cihang Jingzhai in the world. All the monks in the temple are masters of martial arts, how could the master agree to let him go?" Shall we do this errand?"

Xu Ziling rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, "I don't know what Master's intention is, but Buddhists are merciful and quiet, so even if things fail, they probably won't embarrass us."

Kou Zhongdao: "What if He Shibi is really in the Jingnian Temple, what should we do? With only a hundred or so of us, we were not sent to death in the past."

Xu Ziling also had some Muggles, and said, "Forget it, we're just scouting the way anyway, just ask about the situation."

After a while, a group of people came to Jingnian Temple.

"Evening drums and morning bells wake up famous and wealthy people in the world."

"By sounding the Buddha's call, the dream of the sea of ​​bitterness is recalled and charming."

Two couplets are engraved on the two gateposts of the gate of Jingnian Temple, and each character is one foot in size.

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong looked at the huge gate of Zhang Xu Gao, and listened to the melodious and vigorous chanting sound from the Buddhist courtyard, which seemed to shake the entire mountain forest, and felt a little timid in their hearts.

In front of the Jingnian Chanyuan in Nuoda, the individual is as small as an ant.

"What are you afraid of? We are imperial envoys. How dare he do anything to us."

Kou Zhong secretly cheered himself up, stepped forward, and knocked on the door.

After a while, the huge door opened with a "squeak", and a monk who knew the guest came to the door, put his hands together and said: "I don't know why all the generals came to cover the courtyard?"

Kou Zhong cupped his hands and said: "We are ordered by the emperor to see you preside over it."

The Zhike monk returned a salute, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "The Buddhist gate is a clean place outside the square. You can't raise troops and use swords and guns. The two generals can enter. The generals and soldiers under the general's command should wait outside the temple. Two, please."

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong looked at each other, ordered his subordinates to wait outside, and then bravely walked into Jingnian Temple.
