"Huikong, how's it going? Are you convinced? ”

Suzaku Street, after promising a group of people to join the Tianlong Sect, the monk turned to look at Huikong and said a little provocatively.

Huikong's face was expressionless, no sadness, no joy or anger, and he didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Du Er showed a hint of a victor's smile, and said: "Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful, the poor monk who presided over the Great Xingshan Temple will not rob you, you will be able to guard your temple, there is a Buddhist temple in Xinfeng County called Tianlong Temple, the poor monk is there recently, if Master Huikong is free, you are welcome to fight with the poor monk at any time!" ”

After that, Du Er no longer paid attention to Huikong, turned around and planned to leave, but before leaving, he looked at the vast number of believers in front of him, and said loudly: "Amitabha, donors, who have passed the assessment of the old man and can become a member of the Tianlong Sect, please go to the Tianlong Temple in Xinfeng County at three o'clock tomorrow, at that time, you will become an official member of the Tianlong Sect, and the poor monks will also give lectures to the donors on the spot!" ”

"Good! The master wants to give a lecture tomorrow, so I have to go anyway! ”

"Thank you, Master! Tomorrow I will definitely go to Tianryu Temple! ”

"Congratulations to the Master!"

"Congratulations to the Master!"

In the warm farewell of the people, Du Er held a golden bowl in his hand, carried a Zen staff, and walked away with a victorious attitude!

"Let's go! Enter the palace! ”

Li Chunfeng turned around and saw Li Yu thrown outside the fugue, so he hurriedly said something.

"Oooh!"

Li Yu came back to her senses and responded, she was behind Li Chunfeng, walked a few steps and couldn't help but say, "Dao Chief, how do I feel that this Doom Monk is not here to fight with Master Huikong today?" ”

Li Chunfeng did not affirm or deny, but asked with a faint smile: "How can you see it?" ”

Li Yu frowned and said, "I feel that he just wants to use Master Huikong's fame to attract more believers and let the people join his Heavenly Dragon Sect!" However, he does have some ability, and he can actually give birth to lotus in clear water, so that Master Huikong will voluntarily bow to the wind! ”

She is not a stupid person, on the contrary, she is very smart, at the beginning, Du Er used a hand of Qing Shui Shenglian's stunt really amazed her, but later Du Er took the opportunity to create a Tianlong Sect to lure the people to join the church, which in Li Yu's opinion, I am afraid that some motives are not pure.

Li Chunfeng was silent for a moment, and said: "This Heavenly Dragon Sect, I'm afraid it's not simple behind it, let's not talk about these things first, let's enter the palace and face the saint quickly!" ”

"Uh-huh!"

…………………………

"Qing Shui Shenglian, Heavenly Dragon Church?"

Li Er had just finished lunch at this time, and was about to take a break in the Ganlu Hall for a while, when he heard the report from the waiter, Li Yu and Li Chunfeng asked to see him, but Li Er did not turn the two away, but gladly received them.

Li Er naturally wouldn't believe the rumors spread by the people about Li Chunfeng and him, because he was a first-hand witness of the situation when the Tengu ate the sun, and he knew better than anyone what Li Chunfeng said at that time, but after Li Chunfeng told what he had just seen and heard on Suzaku Street, Li Er's interest was instantly aroused, he sat up straight, looked at Li Chunfeng, and said:

"Li Shilang, in your opinion, is this Doom Monk really the reincarnation of the Buddha?"

Li Er has always been very interested in the theory of immortals, although Li Zexuan told him with great certainty that there are no immortals in the world before, but what if there is? I have to say that Li Er's heart has always had a trace of luck in this regard, but it is just a fluke, he will not send a large number of people to find the ethereal immortal like Qin Shi Huang, Lao Li is a person who knows how to restrain himself.

Hearing the hint of expectation in Li Er's tone, Li Chunfeng was excited, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, Poor Dao dares to conclude that this doom is definitely not the reincarnation of the gods and Buddhas, and the purpose of his battle with Master Huikong today is probably just to attract the people to join his Heavenly Dragon Sect, and I hope Your Majesty will see it!" ”

Li Er frowned and said, "Then what explanation should be given to the clear water and lotus in front of everyone's eyes?" ”

Li Chunfeng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, although Poor Dao can't see the mystery behind this Qing Shui Shenglian, but I think it's just an illusion with a slightly more clever technique!" If Doom is really the reincarnation of a god and Buddha, why has he been unknown before? Your Majesty, don't believe in the reincarnation of gods and Buddhas! ”

Whether it is out of consideration for the interests of the Daomen, or the responsibility of being a human minister, Li Chunfeng must dispel Li Er's illusion about the theory of immortals, otherwise if Li Er believes in the "evil" of Doom, summons and reuses Doom, then it will be a big trouble!

"Illusion? Are you saying that this Qing Shui Shenglian is just an illusion? ”

Li Er was curious and asked.

Li Chunfeng nodded and said: "Back to Your Majesty, among the Taoists, there are the Five Elements Bagua, Qimen Dunjia, and there are also magical illusions in the Buddhists. ”

Li Er nodded thoughtfully, and after a pause, he spoke: "If it is really an illusion, then this doom is bewitching people's hearts, I will let people find out what the origin and intentions of this Heavenly Dragon Sect are, you don't have to worry about it anymore!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Li Chunfeng arched his hand.

"Your Majesty, in order to save the locust plague, Mr. traveled thousands of miles to various counties to provide disaster relief, but now there are a lot of rumors in the market that are unfavorable to Mr., and I hope that Your Majesty can make decisions for Mr. and return Mr. to a clean slate!"

At this time, Li Yu stood up and saluted Li Erfu.

Li Er nodded and said: "I have heard about the rumors of Yong'an Hou, and I have already made people trace the source of the rumors, and I will definitely give Yong'an Hou an explanation when the time comes, I am not a dumb king, and I will not mistakenly believe the rumors!" ”

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty is wise! Little fish admire! ”

Li Er couldn't help but smile and said, "You girl, what benefits did Yong'an Hou give you to make you speak for him like this?" ”

He always felt that Li Yu was very kind-faced, and there was a feeling that he couldn't speak, which was very kind, so he gave Li Yu the title of a gold medal reporter, and his attitude towards Li Yu was also relatively tolerant.

Li Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Li Yu is not speaking for Mr., but for justice!" How is Mr. a person, even if I don't say it, I believe that Your Majesty has a scale in your heart, but the rumors about Mr. are endless, not only that, aren't there many rumors about Your Majesty? ”

Li Er's face darkened, those rumors had only been mentioned by Li Chunfeng more or less, but they were all more tactful, and now Li Yu said it again, which is equivalent to revealing his scars again!

“…… Looking at all things together, I think there must be people with bad intentions behind this who want to incite the people, so that the people are dissatisfied with Mr., dissatisfied with the court, and even dissatisfied with His Majesty. ”

Li Er's face turned solemn, he had indeed considered the mastermind behind the scenes, but he didn't expect Li Yu to have such an insight, he couldn't help but glance at Li Yu with appreciation, and then said: "What you said is not unreasonable, I will order Dali Temple to investigate this matter with all its might, you don't have to worry!" ”

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty is wise! That plum fish retires! ”

"The poor road is also retired!"

Li Chunfeng said.

Li Er nodded.

After the two left, Li Er's face instantly became gloomy, and the folk rumors that Li Chunfeng had relayed before kept echoing in Li Er's head.

"This great locust plague is the punishment of the heavens for today's son to "kill his brother and imprison his father"! ”

"The previous Tengu Eclipse Day represents a warning from Heaven to the Son of Heaven!"

"Your Majesty did not listen to the advice of Li Chunfeng, neither benevolent nor sincere repentance, so this great locust plague was caused!"

This rumor can be described as a dagger quenched with poison, piercing Li Er's heart. As an emperor, Li Erbi knows the importance of the people's will more than anyone else, otherwise he would not have said to Li Zexuan in prison, "Jun, Zhou, people, and water." Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat."

It is precisely because he knows the importance of the people's will that now someone is spreading rumors unfavorable to him among the people and shaking his people's heart, Li Er will become angry!

Especially at the end of last year, the people who were directly angry with the Cui family of the millennium clan directly stepped down, and Li Er became more deeply aware of the importance of the people's will. They all want to use the power of the people and public opinion to achieve their own goals!

Obviously, this is someone who wants to cut off his "roots", then he naturally can't sit still, he wants to fight back!

"Zhao Song! Previously, the Baiqi Division was asked to investigate the rumors about Li Zexuan, but now how is the investigation? ”

After being silent for a long time, Li Er suddenly opened his mouth and said coldly.

Zhao Song bowed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, five people who deliberately spread rumors and incite the people have been caught, but these people are very tight-mouthed and refuse to admit their guilt!" ”

Li Er's eyes were cold, and he said, "Then use torture!" As long as it can be determined that they are deliberately inciting the people, then they will be tortured directly, whether they live or die! ”

Li Er could feel that the peaceful empire was actually hiding a huge factor of instability, he had to do something, otherwise by the time the person in the shadows completed all the layouts, it would be too late for him to turn the tables! At this time, how could he care about the life or death of those "suspects"?

Zhao Song was excited, he understood that Li Er was really angry, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The old slave obeys the order!" ”

Li Er thought for a while, and then ordered: "This Heavenly Dragon Sect also needs to be investigated, immediately send secret agents from the Hundred Horsemen Division, and be sure to give me a result before it gets dark tomorrow!" ”

Zhao Song replied: "Huh! ”

"In addition, Ling Wuhou Mansion has recently strengthened the patrol of Chang'an City to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to make waves! Summoned to Ma Zhou of Yanhuang Academy, the recent "Datang Daily" needs to refute the current market rumors, and don't let the people be deceived by traitors and do illegal things! ”

After pondering for a moment, Li Er commanded again.

"Oh~!"

Zhao Song promised.

Li Er waved his hand and said, "Give the order as soon as possible!" ”

"The old slave retires!"

Zhao Song arched his hand and withdrew from the main hall.

…………………………………

"Dragon Head, we have 3,000 believers in Chang'an City, with these believers, we can completely gain a foothold in Chang'an City and develop more believers in the next step!"

In Xinfeng County, in a secret room under the Tianlong Temple, the monk of Doom lost his previous spirit, but reported to a masked man with a respectful face.

It turns out that this person is the dragon head of the Heavenly Dragon Sect! The rumors about Li Zexuan and Li Er in Chang'an City were the ones he let out.

The man in the iron mask nodded, "Hmm! You're doing a great job! We are new to the city, and we must have the support of a group of believers in order to gain a firm foothold in Chang'an City, but in your opinion, is it really impossible for Abbot Huikong to cooperate with us? You are of the same ancestry, and he won't even give you this affection? ”

Du Er held a Buddha salute and said: "Dragon Head, although this Huikong is a member of my Tantric sect, he has lived in Middle-earth for decades, and he has long regarded himself as a Tang person, and in the opinion of a poor monk, this person will never cooperate with us!" ”

Hearing this, the iron-masked man sighed and said, "It's a pity! This Huikong is quite prestigious among the nobles of Chang'an City, if he can be used by us, our plan will be at least half successful! ”

"Huh! Why should the dragon's head be discouraged? ”

Du Er smiled, and said with a proud face: "Since that Huikong is unwilling to cooperate with us, then we will develop our own followers, today the poor monk has used a little means, and he has recruited three thousand disciples for my Tianlong Sect, and over time, the reputation and connections of the poor monk in Chang'an City will definitely far exceed that of Huikong!" ”

The man in the iron mask nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said, "In this way, then I can only work hard for you!" There is not much time left for us, Li Zexuan's kid is very clever, we must complete all the deployments before he returns to Chang'an, otherwise he will definitely see the clues! After the deed is completed, the position of the national teacher must belong to you, so why do you need to go back to Tianzhu to suffer and suffer at that time? ”

Du Er said with a happy face: "Thank you Dragon Head!" The poor monk must do his best to help the dragon head complete the great cause! ”

"Hmm!"

Due to the obscuration of the mask, I couldn't see what the iron-masked man's expression was, so I only heard him continue: "Your Yaochi holy water is very good, remember to mix some more, there will be more and more members of the Tianlong Sect, and when the time is ripe, this seat will order all the members of Qingzhou, Qizhou, Cangzhou, and Jizhou to come to Chang'an!" ”

Du Er narrowed his eyes and smiled a little wickedly: "Don't worry, the poor monk has a lot of Yaochi holy water here, I guarantee that it is enough!" ”

"Hahaha! Good! Tomorrow's lecture will be yours! ”

The man in the iron mask laughed loudly.

"Subordinates obey!"

Do'er smiled and arched his hand.
