God left

It is not normal for Zhang Ningxiu to make such a big commotion that no one from Jianzong and Buddhism has been involved. Thousands of years ago, the three major sects signed a contract with Emperor Gouchen, the only remaining member of the Four Royals, and the Jiuli clan. Any movement of the school is related to the life and death of the three major factions. Even if Zhang Ningxiu came from the Taoist sect, the other two factions should not be so silent even if they are too lazy to intervene.

Buddhism has always been relatively pure-hearted and ascetic, and will hardly participate in any disputes between the rivers and lakes, but the Jianzong faction is different. The newly appointed suzerain Xiao Yuanqing is simply there for him wherever there is a story. All kinds of storytellers from all over the rivers and lakes were invited to come to Qilin Mountain to tell stories. There was a lot of uproar a while ago, and several elders almost wanted to knock him down from the position of suzerain, but they calmed down somehow, and the storytellers also dispersed. Well, the suzerain who didn't take the usual path seems to be a lot more honest recently.

On the way back, Jiang Lizhou pondered over the meaning of the word "mutiny" over and over again, he thought: "It's definitely not our Shenxiao faction who mutinied, and mutiny is also a comparison of picking someone up."

When approaching the mountain gate, I didn’t see anything unusual. When I entered the main hall, I saw that almost all the people inside the gate were present. They separated neatly and solemnly on both sides. Elder Mingru sat on the chair on the left—he was the only one among the three elders. .

Jiang Lizhou went up to greet him, and Mingru waved him back, then glanced around again, and said slowly, "Everyone should be here today, the three major factions haven't had any major events these years, but before After a period of time, Master Kumu of Buddhism passed away, and the current abbot, Kongqing, has a lot to do. He is going to hold a star-picking ceremony, and all sects must participate. Bamboo slips, signaled Jiang Lizhou to come and get them, and said, "The relevant matters are here, and I will listen to your senior brothers to arrange."

Mingru left after finishing speaking, and turned around when he was almost at the entrance of the main hall: "Li Zhou, come with me."

Jiang Lizhou followed Mingru into the house, and he said: "The purpose of this grand ceremony is not pure, and it is not convenient for us to come forward. You should look at the juniors." He paused, as if he was considering his words, and then said after a while, " This is also a magic competition, you try not to be too showy, the host is a Buddhist sect, and the location is also on their territory, in case something happens, it will be difficult to understand the distance. Do you understand?"

Of course he understood what the uncle said, but he didn't understand what happened at all, so he cupped his hands and asked, "Li Zhou understands, but why are we so afraid of Buddhism? Since the uncle knows that the grand ceremony is fraudulent, why do we still want to participate?"

Mingru gave him a meaningful look, his lips moved, and Zhuo Ran's dusty face also showed embarrassment. He sighed and said: "The relationship between the three major factions has long been different from what it appears on the surface. Harmony, Buddhism has been in turmoil for several years, and Master Kumu, I had tea with him a while ago-the string that maintains the balance of the three major sects is about to break. As for Buddhism, of course it is not afraid of them. What to worry about, apart from the silent spring behind Linyun Mountain, and the monsters of the demon race in the west, once the three major sects fall apart, there will be no peace in this world."

Mingru's words are not very clear, but Jiang Lizhou can probably understand that the Buddhist sect is probably using the safety of the world as an issue, so as to force the Taoist sect and the Jianzong to cooperate with their grand ceremony. As for the purpose of this grand ceremony, look at that The ambitious current abbot can almost guess that he is probably dissatisfied with the silence of Buddhism in recent years, and wants to show the other two factions the grand pomp of Buddhism.

Mingru said not to be in the limelight, probably because he wanted to satisfy the wish of the present treasure, so that they could calm down for a while, and on the other hand, he was probably worried about being tripped up secretly.

Jiang Lizhou, who is Kong Qing, has also heard of it, and the two years of infighting in the Buddhist sect have not been silent, and Kong Qing's name can be regarded as resounding.Needless to say this person's talent in Buddhism, the youngsters don't care too much. They heard that Kongqing was 19 years old and single-handedly subdued the monster dragon that plagued the fishermen on the southwest coast. In Li Zhinian, he had already taken over Buddhism.This monk has been traveling abroad since he was a child. He became famous at the age of 19, entered the Buddhist hall to listen to the Dharma at the age of 21, and was able to discuss Zen with the great Zen master in two or three years. He is really not an ordinary person.

The mind must also be unusual.

On the way back to the main hall, Jiang Lizhou unfolded the bamboo slips that Mingru had given him and looked at them, and suddenly found that there was one that forbids carrying magical artifacts. If it is too heavy, it will disturb the Buddhist practice.

Jiang Lizhou suddenly had a new understanding of the monk, he snapped the bamboo slips shut, and snorted coldly: "Such brazenness, it will become a big event in the future."

After hearing this rule, the little Taoist priests in the main hall yelled collectively: "Mother, what kind of grand ceremony do you love to be clean? Isn't it good to eat fast and chant Buddha? What kind of demons are you?" "What are these monks doing? I'm used to it." They stink." "If it doesn't work, hit them, there's so much nonsense."

Jiang Lizhou saw the one who opened his mouth and was about to hit him, smiled, and said lightly, "That's good, I also have the same intention, so it's up to you, go and ask Master Mingru for orders, go."

The little Taoist lost his air immediately, and shrank his head: "I made a mistake, brother, I dare not..."

Jiang Lizhou raised his hand and tapped the little Taoist priest on the head with a bamboo stick, looked at everyone and said, "It's fine to say this kind of thing here, but after a while when you arrive at the Buddhist gate, you have to be careful when talking on the ground of other people's houses. Do you understand?" While saying the last three words, he knocked on that little unlucky head three more times.

"Hey, hey, hey, I get it." The little Taoist shrank his head and didn't say anything more.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of August, and Jiang Lizhou had already started calling them to Taihuai Mountain, where the Buddhist gate was located. Yujian was many times faster than human chariots and horses, from Mingzhu Mountain in the middle of Sichuan to Taihuai Mountain in the north. , plus a rest on the way, it is only six or seven days' journey.

While packing up his things, Xu Ling turned his head and asked, "Brother, there is still half a month left before the Grand Ceremony, why did you leave so early?"

Jiang Lizhou hung the jug firmly on his waist, and tied a knot skillfully with his slender fingers: "It's not a big deal, how dare you call it a good thing—" He turned around again, and went to fiddle with his sword box , "Master Kongqing said that the three factions have not been in touch for many years, and they need to contact each other before the ceremony. There will be some kind of autumn gathering on the first day of September, so that everyone can get to know each other, so we must not go there in advance."

Shi Yun and Shi Lian, who were busy next to them, showed disgusted faces at the same time, and looked at Xu Ling in unison as if they remembered something.

Sure enough, Xu Ling wailed when he heard the words: "What?! Brother, my chest hurts here, can I ask for leave? It hurts, ah, no, I have to go home and see a doctor..."

Jiang Lizhou didn't even give him an extra look: "Isn't it just that the spring search failed last year? Look at your future."

Xu Lingsheng lay down on the corner of the table helplessly: "Senior brother, I almost died... Well, the root cause is in the hands of that monster, how could there be no shadow! Senior brother! Help me!"

Jiang Lizhou gave him an encouraging smile, walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, I will leave a future for your Xu family."

Shi Lian and Shi Yun couldn't help laughing, and Shi Lian said solemnly: "Senior Brother A Ling, overcome your fear and reach the peak."

Fortune also joined in, comforting him with that extremely tortuous voice: "Senior Brother A Ling! You have to be brave."

Xu Ling looked at them resentfully, groaned for a while, and then gritted his teeth and said, "The world is miserable."

Then he was knocked on the head by Shang Ting.
