Chapter 437: A Plea for Mercy
There was a moment of silence in the main hall, and after a while, Master Puhong let out a long breath and said with a smile: "If these monsters are not powerful, how can they be the Great Tribulation of the Ages! Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Dao Xuan Zhenren nodded and said: "What the master said is very true, so let's do it! I still have some bad tea that the old man has collected for many years, please go to the inner hall to taste it, and we will talk while drinking." ā
Master Puhong and Shangguan Ce stood up willingly, explained a few words to each other, and then followed Daoxuan Zhenren into the inner hall, as soon as the three big people left, the atmosphere on the Yuqing Hall slowly relaxed, Zeng Shushu, Qi Hao and the others and Tianyin Temple's Faxiang and Fashan are all old acquaintances, and they all came together to talk at the moment.
Taking advantage of this rare time, Qi Hao proposed to take Fa Xiang and Fa Shan to take a good look at the scenery of Tongtian Peak, and Fa Xiang and the others readily agreed.
At this time, it is already summer, and the climate on earth is getting hotter, but it is still extremely cool on this towering Tongtian Peak.
Walk to a cliff with a railing in the distance of the peak, look at it from afar, only to see the vast sea of clouds, the blue sky above, people can't help but have the heart of birth.
Fa Xiang exclaimed: "I have long heard that Qingyun Mountain is a fairyland, and it has been an eye-opener for poor monks once ten years ago, and I will see you again today, it is still so spectacular, moving, it is really a wonder in the world!"
Qi Hao said with a smile: "Senior Brother Faxiang is polite again, if you want to talk about the scenery, isn't the 'wordless jade wall' and 'Sumeru Dao, Mustard Seed Mountain' of Tianyin Temple in Sumeru Mountain even more famous places that move the world?"
Fa Xiang smiled and said: "Those are all small scenes, how can they be compared to such a spectacular scene as Qingyun." ā
Qi Hao glanced at Fa Xiang, and then said with a smile: "Okay, okay, we don't have to boast about it, anyway, every place has its own scenery, and the vast land of the world is so vast, I wonder if we will be able to see it all in our lifetime?"
Everyone was touched for a while, and said in unison: "Exactly." ā
Laughing out loud as they spoke......
Qingyun Mountain, Tongtian Peak.
The fragrance of tea lingers, emanating from the white mussel green cover teacup, and the freshly brewed tea wafts a trace of white gas and wafts in the room.
This is a secluded room in the back hall of the Yuqing Palace, and the three masters of the righteous path today are all gathered in this room, drinking tea and discussing with a calm expression.
The Qingyun disciple who was waiting with tea and water next to him had quietly retreated at some point, leaving only Dao Xuan Zhenren, Pu Hong Venerable and Shangguan Ce in the room.
Dao Xuan Zhenren spoke first and said with a smile: "This tea is also a specialty near my Qingyun Mountain, although it is not a rare and rare treasure, but it is also fragrant and high-quality, the two of you drink it, see how it is?"
Shangguan Ce put down the teacup in his hand, nodded and said, "The aroma leaves the throat, it seems to flow from the mouth to the abdomen, it is really good tea." ā
Dao Xuan Zhenren said with a smile: "If you like it, if you like it, when you break this beast and demon tribulation in the future, you can bring some more back to Incense Valley." ā
Shangguan Ce nodded with a smile and said, "This is very good, you can't deny it when the time comes." ā
The two smiled at each other, but Master Puhong recited the Buddha's name beside him, and Dao Xuan Zhenren glanced at him and said, "What's wrong with the master?"
Master Puhong sighed and said, "Actually, the poor monk also knows that in the face of such a catastrophe, he must maintain a calm mind before he can deal with it calmly, but the Buddhist family is compassionate. ā
Shangguan Ce's face changed slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in Dao Xuan Zhenren's eyes, but then his face also became solemn.
Looking at Master Puhong, Dao Xuan Zhenren said slowly: "What the master said is very true, since we boast of the right path, we should naturally take the common people in the world as our own responsibility, and the poor Dao was rude just now. ā
Master Puhong shook his head and said in a low voice: "What did the real person say, the old man didn't intend to blame the real person just now. ā
Shangguan Ce's face had already returned to normal at this moment, and he smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Okay, okay, your literary appearance is not even more unbearable, let's stop talking nonsense, let's get to the point quickly." ā
Dao Xuan Zhenren and Master Pu Hong both smiled, and Dao Xuan Zhenren nodded: "What Senior Brother Shangguan said is that in fact, inviting the two of you to discuss here today is indeed for the sake of the current beast and demon tribulation, and there seems to be a strange change. ā
Shangguan Ce and Pu Hong were both stunned, and Shangguan Ce said, "What changes, real people, please tell me?"
Dao Xuan Zhenren's face was solemn, and he said: "A few days ago, I received a letter from my conscience, he has been investigating the situation of the beast demon, but he just rushed back last night, but he told me something unusual. ā
When Shangguan Ce heard Jun Wenxin's name, his face changed suddenly, but before Dao Xuan Zhenren's gaze swept over, he regained his composure.
Master Puhong saw that Dao Xuan Zhenren's face was serious, and there seemed to be a trace of doubt in his expression, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Dao Xuan Zhenren paused for a moment, and then said: "According to the question, the countless beast demons who originally entered Middle-earth from the south have been driving straight to the north, killing all the way, but recently, for some reason, suddenly a large number of beast demons stopped going north and went to the southwest, and the number of beast demons who continued to advance to our north seems to be only about forty percent of the original. ā
Shangguan Ce pondered for a moment and said, "Southwest direction, isn't that the place where the Demon Sect has always been the most rampant?"
Dao Xuan Zhenren nodded and said: "Yes, now the three factions within the Demon Sect are divided, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, the Ghost King Sect and the Hehuan Sect are fighting endlessly, although we don't know where its main hall is, but judging from the clues, it should be that the main hall of these three major factions is in the southwest, so that direction is where the Demon Sect forces are located, and this time the beast demons suddenly went in large numbers in that direction, I don't know what happened?"
Master Puhong frowned and said, "Could it be that the beast demons have already clashed with the Demon Sect and suffered a little loss, so a large number of beast demons have come to support?"
Dao Xuan Zhenren's face was dark, and he said: "It's not clear yet, but if that's the case, it's best, the beast demon and the demon sect are both scourges, if they can fight each other, the people in the world will be very lucky." ā
Shangguan Ce suddenly shook his head at this moment and said, "Two heads, I don't think it's so simple. ā
Dao Xuan Zhenren glanced at him and said, "Oh, please teach the valley lord." ā
Shangguan Ce said: "You and I both know very well that the people in the Demon Sect have always been selfish, and if you want to say that they are fighting against beasts and demons for the sake of the common people in the world, this kind of thing is impossible in my opinion..."
Seeing that Dao Xuan Zhenren and Venerable Pu Hong both nodded slightly at the same time, expressing their agreement, Shangguan Ce smiled slightly, and said: "On the contrary, with what I have always known about the Demon Sect, they see that the beast demon is so powerful now, don't say that they are enemies with the beast demon, even if the beast demon inadvertently hurts them, I am afraid that they would rather be dumb and willing to retreat, and let us go out to deal with these extremely vicious beast demons." ā
Dao Xuan Zhenren nodded and said: "Yes, what the valley lord said is reasonable, but now the beast demon is indeed a large number of people and horses heading to the southwest, with the valley lord's opinion, why is this?"
Shangguan Ce was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: " Judging from the behavior of the beast demons entering Middle-earth in the past few days, they have no specific goal, they are all killing along the road, and they have been going north, so this time there are suddenly a large number of turns, and there must be something strange among them, it should be that the beast demons who were close to the southwest have suffered a big loss, so the demon called the beast god will mobilize a large number of people and horses to go to the southwest, but in the southwest direction, there have always been no other powerful figures except for the people in the demon sect, so I think that this is only afraid that there is something wrong in the demon sect?"
Master Puhong frowned and said, "What is the valley master?"
Shangguan Ce smiled and said, "This, but it's not something I can know." ā
Master Puhong couldn't help but shake his head and said, "After saying this for a long time, didn't you say it in vain, donor?"
The three of them laughed for a while, but after a while, Dao Xuan Zhenren muttered: "Actually, in my opinion, what Senior Brother said may not be unreasonable, no matter what, now that the beast demons are heading to the southwest in large numbers, the pressure in front of us has been relaxed a lot, at least it can buy us some time, if the common people are looking forward to us today, we also have to do some actions for the people of the world to see." ā
Shangguan Ce glanced at Dao Xuan Zhenren and said, "Oh, does the real person want us to take advantage of the absence of the main force of the beast demon and go down the mountain to have a good fight?"
Dao Xuan Zhenren said: "Yes, if you get rid of one more beast demon, the world will have less suffering, so it is naturally our duty to be righteous." ā
Master Puhong whispered a Buddha name, and a hint of sarcasm quietly flashed in Shangguan Ce's eyes, but then he said awe-inspiringly: "What the real person said is very true, so everything is arranged by the real person, and I am willing to be the pioneer in the Incense Valley." ā
Dao Xuan Zhenren smiled and said: "With the heart of the valley master, why worry about the beast demon being undefeated! However, in the southwest direction, I have been thinking for a long time, and I feel that this matter is very mysterious, although we can't meddle rashly, but if we ignore it, it doesn't seem to be very appropriate." ā
Master Puhong nodded and said, "Yes, Lao Wei also means this, after all, the beast demon catastrophe, the scourge of the common people, what happened in the southwest, we must at least know in our hearts." ā
Shangguan Ce said: "In this case, why don't we send a few disciples with high Dao Lines and quietly follow over to investigate." ā
Dao Xuan Zhenren nodded and said, "Okay, it's decided." ā
At this time, Shangguan Ce seemed to think of something again, and suddenly said to Dao Xuanzhen: "By the way, there is one more thing, I have to ask the real person for a favor." ā
Dao Xuan Zhenren was stunned for a moment, and said, "The valley master is too polite, what's the matter!
Shangguan Ce smiled and said: "I heard that the young master of your sect has a conscience because I am waiting here, and I have been reluctant to return, after hearing about it, my heart is really uneasy, and..." His eyes flickered, and he said: "Now that the beast demon is harming the world, it is the time to use people, and the young master sect is the most outstanding disciple of the righteous path, so it is better to ask the real person to reconcile the relationship between him and our sect and fight against the demon beast together for the time being." ā
Dao Xuan Zhenren sighed and said, "It's all because the conscience is too impulsive, and it makes the disciples of our two factions on the same footing, it's really not worth it." ā
Shangguan Ce smiled and said: "Where does the real person say, this is my Incense Valley to blame, and the young master does not care about the past suspicions, and waits for me to break off, this favor I Incense Valley remembers." ā
Dao Xuan Zhenren pondered for a moment and said, "Since the valley master said so, I definitely can't refuse to give this face, so let's do it! I will let my conscience come back on the same day, and at the same time select a few more disciples and go to the southwest with him to investigate, which can be regarded as easing the relationship with your sect!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Shangguan Ce's mouth, and he said, "Ah! How is it so coincidental, I just wanted to say that Yan Hong should also go to the southwest to experience it!"
Dao Xuan Zhenren glanced at him and said lightly: "Then let's go together!"
Shangguan Ce laughed and arched his hand: "Then I will thank the real person first." ā
Dao Xuan Zhenren retracted his gaze, picked up the teacup from the table in front of him, took a sip slowly, the expression in his eyes changed, and he said slowly: "The valley master is too polite." ā
