Chapter 263, measuring the ruler
The battlefield in the Linglong Valley has been cleared, and the two black-clothed masked hearts have also been moved to the valley, the face towels have been removed, and Cang Xiao frowned and said: "I know these two people, they are Ye Youzhi of the Shape Law Sect and Jiang Tianhan of the Lying Niu Sect, they are just idle disciples who are not employed in the sect, but the secret method cultivation is quite attained, I really didn't expect it to be them!" ”
Wan Shu groaned wildly: "The enemies who came to attack have been wiped out, these two people were killed by my husband and wife, and the death is inexplicable, if you can't catch up with An Zuojie, I don't know how to explain to the Xingfa faction and the Lying Niu faction?" ”
"Kill it, kill it! What do you explain? Quickly notify Niu Yuepo, the head of the Crouching Niu Sect, and Yang Yicheng, the head of the Formation Law Sect, to come and explain to us with the elders in the middle of the sect, this is the right reason! You Fang's voice came from a distance, and then four people walked out of the dense forest into the valley, in front of You Fang led Shen Sibao, who was described as haggard, and behind was Shen Shenyi, who was covered in muddy water. 【】
Shen Shenyi's state looked very bad. In the fierce battle in the valley, he has always been the person of the main formation and the absolute main force, most of the attacks launched by the other party were blocked by him, and the spiritual energy consumption was extremely huge and he was injured, which was not very serious, but after the fierce battle, he ran wildly and screamed, and in the end, he was depressed and even threw himself into the lake in front of Haodong Zhenren, which can be said to be self-harming and injured, and almost all of them were a little unstable.
He saw Liu Si in Chu Fu's arms like a sleeping soul at a glance, his lips trembled, and two lines of tears flowed down again, and he wanted to speak but couldn't speak. At this time, everyone had already greeted him, Shen Shenyi suddenly broke free from the support of Haodong Zhenren, took a step forward and turned around and knelt down at You Fang, holding a gossip plate in his hand and said, "Shen Yi is ashamed." Facing the sect without shame, you can no longer be in the position of the head of the sect, Mr. Toland is temporarily in charge of the Nine Palaces Flying Astrolabe, and you fellow sects will redefine the affairs of the Nine Star Sect, and be cautious and take responsibility! ”
Today, the Nine Star Sect has suffered heavy losses, although the foundation of the sect's inheritance is still there, but it is almost on the verge of extinction, and even if it painstakingly recovers from the heavy losses it has suffered, I am afraid that it will not be able to recover its vitality in more than ten years. And the battle of Linglong Mountain involved not only the internal strife of the Nine Star Sect, but also the Sand Elimination Sect and some disciples were damaged, and the masters of Songhe Valley also participated, and one person each of the Shape Law Sect and the Lying Niu Sect died inexplicably. What's even worse is that An Zuojie, who instigated all this, ran away!
Although Shen Shenyi was depressed, he was not confused, and he saw the situation clearly when he came back to his senses a little, and handed over the token of the head of the sect, but it was not handed over to the hall masters of the Nine Star Sect present, but Mr. Rand, who is now the most qualified to preside over the overall situation.
This is the same idea as when Cangxiao was in the Nanhai fishing village to deal with the door-to-door questioning of various factions, and asked the head of the door to investigate the matter thoroughly. But Shen Shenyi did it more simply, not just to show his attitude, but even handed over the Nine Palace Flying Astrolabe directly. And in front of everyone, there is no room for himself at all. I think that when I was in the fishing village of the South China Sea, You Fang and Cangxiao knew in their hearts that he would not really temporarily take the head of the sand elimination faction, but the situation was different at this time. When Shen Shenyi raised the Nine Palaces Flying Star Disk above his head, the remaining five hall masters all followed and bowed, and none of them said a word, obviously seconding the decision of the head of the sect with silence.
You Fang was very embarrassed in his heart, but on the surface, he was only slightly stunned, and then took the Nine Palace Flying Astrolabe with both hands, and helped Shen Shen up: "Fellow Nine Stars, please get up!" Now that the war has just passed and the thief leader has absconded, I am afraid that more than the Nine Star faction has been implicated, and the danger has not subsided. Since you are injured, I will temporarily keep this token and dare not lose it slightly, and when everything is dealt with clearly, you will redefine the matter of the sect, and the head of the Nine Stars will retake this thing by the ceremony of the Nine Stars. ”
You Fang's meaning is very clear, for the time being, take good care of this thing for the Nine Star Sect, and after they choose a new leader, they will return the Nine Palace Flying Star Disk at the succession ceremony, and in front of the fellow sects who are watching the ceremony, it can be regarded as an explanation. Looking at Shen Shenyi's current appearance, he really didn't want to be the head of the sect anymore, and the Nine Star Sect had today's calamity, and the current head of the sect was indeed responsible.
You Fang just put away this small gossip plate. Haodong Zhenren walked over, took out an object from his arms and handed it over: "The intention of Master Shen is to let Mr. Rand temporarily take charge of the affairs of the Nine Star Sect, and you will slowly resign, I left the Nanhai Fishing Village and returned to Qingcheng Mountain that day, and I received a message from Mr. Shen before I entered the mountain. ”
You Fang didn't understand what he meant, he reached out and took the thing, his divine sense swept over, but he felt a slight sinking and almost didn't hold it, and he didn't even stand firm, so he quickly collected his mind and held it respectfully with both hands.
This vessel is cast in red copper, and is about one foot long, one inch and eight minutes wide, and seven minutes thick in terms of Tang ruler. At a glance, you can see that its material is very unusual, and the gold content is very high. In addition, a certain percentage of mercury is infiltrated during casting. If such copper is smelted in a furnace, it will be restored even after a thousand years, and this metal treatment process has been lost in modern times.
What surprised him was not only the material, although it was rare, many bronze furnaces were cast from this material, and You Fang still had this kind of fragment in his house. The most common artifact used by Feng Shui masters is the compass, but this artifact was used by the celestial officials of the ancient royal Qin Heavenly Eunuch. It is called the measuring ruler, and there are nine palaces, twelve o'clock, twenty-eight nights, and three hundred concave recesses in the sky
This measuring ruler is very much like a model sample, the largest measuring ruler in actual use is more than ten zhang long, it is impossible to hold it in the hand, it is usually built with carved stones, and it is placed in front of the ancient astronomical observatory.
This measuring ruler is the ancestor of the various factions of the Fengmen Yang Yunsong, and it is not too surprising that Yang Gong has this thing, he was once the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu and the superintendent of the Tiantai National Teacher. It is possible that this measuring ruler was brought out by Yang Gong from the rooftop of the Tang Division. It is also possible that he made it himself, and later used it as a token inherited by the earth masters of the past dynasties, and now it has been passed to Liu Li.
This ruler is not quite the same as a regular measuring scale. Turn it over, the back has the map of Xunluan, Dingshan, the shape of the law, the Mingtang map, the sand cave map, the wall diagram, the Tianji array pivot map, the Fengge dragon tower map, the stacked obstacle shaking the dragon map, the non-flushing evil map, the three-yuan three-talent map, the eight houses together hugging the map, the nine stars and nine peaks and so on
Table.
A mere one-foot-long and one-inch-eight-minute wide ruler can accommodate so many scenes, and if you look closely, it looks neither like an engraving nor a relief, but the casting lines naturally present an incomparably exquisite microscopic picture. It's clearly an artificial artifact, but it's like a ghostly craft, I really don't know how it was created back then!
This is also a very powerful magic weapon, but You Fang almost can't stand on his feet with divine sense, the spirituality bred by this thing is too profound and mysterious, even with You Fang's current cultivation realm, he knows that it is extremely powerful but he can't control and use it at all, so he can only hold it in his hand as a symbolic ornament. You have to be careful.
"Yang Gong measured the ruler!" Cangxiao, the head of the sand elimination faction on the side, couldn't help but let out a suppressed exclamation. He had never seen the concubine. However, there is a pattern of this thing in the classics passed down from generation to generation of the sand elimination sect, and when I saw it with my own eyes and felt the spiritual qi contained in this thing, I immediately determined what it was.
You Fang didn't know the origin of this ruler, Liu Li never told him, his divine sense swept and he only knew that this thing was very particular, and he guessed that it was given to him by the master when he heard Haodong Zhenren's tone, and just held his hands in his mind, he heard Cangxiao's exclamation, and then saw that all the people of the Nine Star Sect who had just stood up and knelt on one knee and saluted.
Not only the disciples of the Nine Star Sect, but everyone present, including Xiang Yinghua, was also in the same posture, kneeling on one knee and bowing his head, completely ignoring the mud in the drizzle. They are not worshipping You Fang, nor are they worshipping Liu Li, the current ruler of this measuring ruler, but they are saluting Yang Gong, the ancestor of the various factions of Fengmen.
The secret token of the earth master, Liu Li can't easily take it out to show people, although it is a very powerful magic weapon, but the average master of divine thought may not be able to use it, if you want to fight with people, there are utensils to choose from, such a precious thing is not taken out in vain. None of the people present had ever seen the measuring scale, but several of them recognized it at a glance, and even if they couldn't recognize it, they immediately thought of it when they heard Cangxiao's exclamation.
The little wanderer was shrewd and abnormal, and when he saw this scene, he immediately understood the meaning of this thing, and guessed in his heart that it was ** not far from ten, and he inexplicably felt that his shoulders were sinking. He secretly said in his heart: "Master, Master, do you really have a hand, Tuo Haodong Zhenren handed over the Earth Qi Grandmaster's token to me, do you want to see if I can calm the scene?" It's a pity that your apprentice is still a little younger; The cultivation is also a little lower, and I can't officially take it over yet. ”
Thinking of this, his reaction was very fast, everyone knelt and he didn't stand, he raised Yang Gong's measuring ruler above his head with both hands, and bowed his head to everyone on one knee, and then stood up, and everyone followed him to stand up, which was regarded as resolving the embarrassment on the scene.
If it is a person who has no virtue, no deeds, no grace, no righteousness, no talent and no authority, no one can pay attention to the four big words of the earth qi master on the door of his head, and it is just a shame to make people laugh. Inheritance has its own true essence connotation, not just a superficial title, otherwise Liu Li would not have been so difficult to find a successor for so many years.
The meaning of what Liu Li asked Haodong to say was obvious, that is, Tomerand was acting on behalf of him on this occasion.
Today, he sent the measuring ruler to test whether the little wanderer could calm the scene, if he didn't say that it was handed over to Melander, but asked everyone present to elect a person to temporarily take charge of Yang Gong's token to preside over the situation. I'm afraid that no one else can take it, even if you can take it, what you want is what you want.
Yang Gong held the ruler firmly in his hand and looked back. It was logical for You Fang to take over the Nine Palaces Flying Astrolabe just now. A traffic accident occurred at the picturesque Qingshan Lake. More than a dozen tourists came from all over the world. I drove a minibus to the mountains to play, accidentally fell into a deep valley and caused a fire, all of them were killed. Many of the people who were lost in the Nine Star Sect this time were well-known people with heads and faces in the local area, and if they silently disappeared, many follow-up things would be difficult to handle, so they had to be arranged like this.
The bodies of Jiang Tianhan, a disciple of the Woniu Sect, and Ye Youzhi, a disciple of the Xingfa Sect, were secretly collected and taken back to Hangzhou. The bodies of Liu Si and the other three deceased hall masters were also separately examined for sparks.
In addition, there was another "case" in Qingshan Lake: a tour group from Japan disappeared inexplicably, and the salute remained in the hotel room, but all the personnel were missing. Two days later, the hotel called the police, and the police investigated for a long time without any clues. I don't know if it's a trace of the end is still in secret,
Two days later, on the outskirts of Hangzhou, You Fang convened a sect gathering, which was attended by the only remaining members of the Nine Star Sect, Chu Fu, Zhang Daozi, Ma Kongye, Bi Sizhu, and Yan Ziyan, as well as all the beginner disciples who could be summoned. The people present also included Xiang Yinghua, the elder of Songhe Valley, and the disciples Wan Shumad and Xiang Yuhua, the head of the sand elimination faction, Cang Xiao, the elder of the inner hall, Zhai Leng, Cang Lan, and so on.
In addition, Niu Yuepo, the head of the Woniu faction, took Yao Xun, an elder who held the rings in the door, and his son Niu Jinquan. Yang Yicheng, the head of the Formation Law Sect, and the elder of the sect, Yun Feixu, and the disciple of Yun Feixu, Murong Chunming, all attended.
Mr. Rand sent a message with Yang Gong measuring the heavenly ruler, and his tone was very stern, and asked them to rush to Hangzhou with the elders of the sect to meet him. These two heads didn't know what was going on, they arrived the next day, and they also brought Niu Jinquan and Murong Chunming, who had a good relationship with Mei Land, thinking that they could talk well in case of any misunderstanding. You Fang did not show up at first, and the people who received the heads of these two factions were Cang Lan, the elder of the Sand Elimination Sect, and the Elder Xiang Yinghua and the Nine Star Sect advocated Daozi. As soon as they arrived in Hangzhou, they saw the bodies of two men. Immediately shocked! told Yinghua about the civil strife of the Nine Star Sect in Linglong Mountain. Directly ask these two heads what is going on?
Niu Yuepo and Yang Yicheng hadn't come back to their senses yet, and then they heard about it again, and cold sweat came out on the spot. Niu Yuepo hurriedly explained: "Jiang Tianhan has been under the Woniu Sect for a long time, but he is only a disciple of the outer hall, and his secret cultivation is advanced but he is stingy and mean, and he has been useless. Earlier, some people suspected that Jiang Tianhan might have a problem, but there was no evidence and it was not easy to deal with, but they never expected that there would be such a thing today! Niu is ashamed."
Although the cultivation of the secret method is a personal matter, if you want to reach a certain realm, the opportunity is not in vain, you need various conditions and resources, and the conversion cost is not a small number. For example, You Fang's secret method cultivation experience is the most selfish, and he doesn't seem to have consumed much money, but looking back, the resources and energy he has consumed and even wasted are definitely far beyond those of ordinary sect disciples.
If nothing else, a person seems to have nothing to do. But you can travel to fame. Da Chuan, using all kinds of secret artifacts and finding a place with the best earth qi and spirit to assist in the cultivation of the secret method, it is almost impossible without sufficient financial resources and resources to support it. Jiang Tianhan belongs to such a person in the Woniu Sect, and this person is not good at business, and he has no decent industry under his name, which is obviously not normal.
Looking back, it can be said that he had a problem, but the Lying Niu faction didn't catch Jiang Tianhan at the beginning, let alone make a big effort to investigate this person thoroughly, so Niu Yuepo would break out in a cold sweat after the accident.
Ye Youzhi's situation in the Criminal Law Sect was similar to Jiang Tianhan's, the Nine Star Sect suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Linglong Mountain, and the Sand Elimination Sect also had disciples who were damaged, and the other losses and costs caused by this impact were also huge. Although Jiang Tianhan and Ye Youzhi did not cause direct casualties, they participated in the actions of the Wuchong faction after all.
If they hadn't entangled Xiang Yinghua, the casualties in the melee might not have been so serious. An Zuojie may not be able to run away. In the face of questioning, Yang Yicheng also felt ashamed and indignant, and said on the spot that the Xingfa Sect would not sit idly by, and must try his best to redeem and compensate for the mistakes of the untidy manner. Niu Yuepo also expressed the same attitude.
After the two heads expressed their positions, they handed over the bodies of Jiang Tianhan and Ye Youzhi and the aftermath to them for disposal, and that night, You Fang invited his colleagues from afar to have dinner in the outer building of the West Lake Building.
Mr. Rand did not ask a word of reproach during the banquet, but only talked about the matter to express regret and regret, and also appeased the two ashamed and uneasy heads, saying only that the private mistakes of the disciples in the sect were inevitable. After this incident, we should pay more police and provincial attention, and do not accumulate small mistakes into big troubles. Today, Jiang Tianhan and Ye Youzhi are the heads, and it is also a good thing to clear the rebellion in the door. If you are caught off guard in the future, the consequences will only be more serious. And agreed with them to meet with the five factions the next day to discuss how to deal with the follow-up affairs.
The location of the meeting was chosen by the tour party himself. After a bloody battle in Linglong Mountain, everyone came to an elegant and dusty love home in Hangzhou. This teahouse has been converted into a meeting place at the moment.
You Fang has participated in two gatherings of various factions of Fengmen, once in Songhe Valley and once in Nanhai Fishing Village. The gathering was much larger than this one, but the situation today was completely different, it was not a gathering of fellow believers, but a direct discussion and decision on the affairs of each sect.
Yiqingju is still the same, there is a sandalwood long case in the hall, the four treasures of the study room in the left hand have been removed, Yang Gong is placed in the measuring scale, and the tea set on the right hand is not there, and the token of the head of the Nine Star Sect is placed Jiugong Flying Star Disk, and there is an empty seat behind the long case. When the people of the Five Sects entered the One Love Residence, the disciples of the Songhe Valley, the Sand Elimination Sect, the Xingfa Sect, and the Lying Niu Sect all bowed with a long bow every time they measured the heavenly ruler, and the disciples of the Nine Star Sect also bowed to the Nine Palaces Flying Star Disk again.
You Fang didn't sit behind the long case at first, he couldn't represent the ancestors of the various factions of the Fengmen and the ancestors of the Nine Star Sect to receive the salute, and after everyone sat down, he came out from behind and walked to the front of the case to bow to his colleagues, and everyone got up again to return the salute.
After the seat was finished, You Fang's face sank, and he said lightly: "This is a love residence, but do the disciples of the Nine Star Sect really think that it is in the tea room?" Pick up the curtain and move the seat, all to the front of the case! ”h! ~!
