Sixty-three calculations

When the Cheng Shilong people found out that Ni Hongshang was missing, the Red Lotus Sect was in chaos, no one said when Ni Hongshang disappeared, and no one saw Ni Hongshang's whereabouts, which made everyone strange that Ni Hongshang disappeared mysteriously like this. Cheng Shilong was in a hurry, and he felt dizzy at that time, and he was a little unsteady on his feet. Mo Sixie and the others hurriedly helped Cheng Shilong to the chair, and then asked people to look around for Ni Hongsheng's whereabouts. Soon, someone reported that Ni Hongsheng's body was found on the Sakura Terrace, and a letter was found in her arms, with a few words written on it: If you want to know the murderer of Ma Qingxue, please go to the Sakura Terrace alone. The Red Lotus Sect was full of anger, but they didn't know who the anger was sent to, everyone wanted to break their heads, and they didn't know who the Red Lotus Sect had offended, and the new Holy Aunt was killed in less than half a month after taking office. For a moment, there was a strange atmosphere of anger and uneasiness in the Red Lotus Sect.

In this atmosphere, Jackie became more and more silent, his body became thinner and thinner, and his coughing became more and more frequent. After the Red Lotus Sect finished handling Ni Hongsheng's posthumous affairs, Cheng Shilong said to the four hall masters of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning in a dumb voice: "Everyone, please come to the council hall for a while." ”

When the five of them came to the council chamber, they were silent. Cheng Shilong cleared his throat and said, "I invited the four of you to come today, just to discuss how the Red Lotus Sect should act?" ”

Mo Sixie saw that no one spoke, so he sighed and said: "These two incidents have caused people to be in a trance, and even many disciples in the capital have said that the Red Lotus Sect has even had murderous incidents, I am afraid that there is something against the heavens in the sect, and God specially wants to punish the Red Lotus Sect." My brothers and I thought of many ways and took a lot of words to suppress this remark. ”

After listening to Mo Sixie's words, Li Zijian said in a loud voice: "Which birdman sent the words?" This is clearly someone targeting the Red Lotus Sect and trying to destroy the Red Lotus Sect, but I think it was the bastards who blocked the Red Maple Forest last time. Protector, let's find out if there is any, who dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head and dare to ambush our people in the red maple forest? ”

Duan Qinglian hurriedly followed: "Protector, now that there is no Holy Aunt, what is the face of the Red Lotus Sect?" ”

Bai Bowen waited for everyone's voices to settle down, and also spoke: "The Red Lotus Sect has not been very peaceful during this time, why are there so many things during this time, but unfortunately we can't find any clues." ”

After Cheng Shilong heard the four of them speak, he said with a serious expression: "There is a big matter in the sect now, I originally discussed with Ni Shenggu, I wanted to discuss it with everyone in the next few days, I didn't think that Ni Shenggu would be killed......" His eyes were filled with tears, and he pressed down forcefully and said: "This matter is related to the life and death of the Red Lotus Sect, as early as a month ago, someone in the palace found the Red Lotus Sect, and between the words, he actually wanted to cooperate with the Red Lotus Sect and want to win the Great Tomorrow." I thought about it with the old Shenggu, so I sent someone to the palace to find out, and found out that the current prince is wise and benevolent, so I rested the heart of cooperation with the person in the palace, and it didn't take long for the old Shenggu to be killed, I informed Ni Shenggu of this matter, Ni Shenggu suggested that the Red Lotus Sect temporarily leave the capital, first avoid this limelight, we are trying to discuss with you whether this plan will work, but I didn't expect Ni Shenggu to be murdered. ”

A look of surprise appeared on everyone's faces, and Li Zijian shouted without thinking about it: "Could it be that those people have found out our thoughts, so they strike first?" So you hurt the old Shenggu and Ni Shenggu? ”

Before Duan Qinglian could speak, Cheng Shilong had already waved his hand and said, "I guess it shouldn't be the hands of those people, if you want to coerce us to cooperate with them, you just need to go and hold the Holy Aunt in your hand, isn't it much more effective than killing two Holy Aunts one after another?" There must be someone else in this murderer. ”

Mo Sixie also nodded and said, "The resistance to the law is extremely true, but I don't know what benefits the person in the palace promised us?" ”

Cheng Shilong looked at the four of them, everyone looked at him expectantly, and said clearly: "If the Red Lotus Sect can help him achieve great things, and take the Red Lotus Sect as the state religion, from now on, there will only be Red Lotus, regardless of the Tao." ”

The four of them couldn't help but take a breath, this condition was so tempting, they really couldn't help but be excited.

Duan Qinglian opened her mouth and said, "Protector, I don't know who the Holy Aunt decided to send into the palace to investigate?" ”

Jackie Long replied: "White." ”

Duan Qinglian smiled and said: "That white cloth is trapped by love, and took the initiative to resign from the position of the holy woman, where is our Red Lotus Sect in his eyes, protector of the law, is the old holy aunt blinded by the white clothes?" I heard that the prince was weak, and Wan Guifei and Jinshang wanted to abolish the prince and set up a new one, but he was lucky enough to avoid it. ”

Mo Si shook his head and said: "I also heard that the disciples in the capital have such a saying, the crown prince Zhu Youzhu is weak, and he is not satisfied with him today. ”

Everyone was silent for a while, Cheng Shilong glanced at the four of them, and then spoke: "Judging from the current situation, the Red Lotus Sect doesn't know which gang of forces it has offended, but it must not be the group of people in the palace, they are probably still waiting for us to cooperate with them." ”

As soon as Duan Qinglian and Cheng Shilong's voice fell, she couldn't help but say: "Protector, I think that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Red Lotus Sect, rather than a corner of peace, it is better to give it a go, if that person can achieve great things, the Red Lotus Sect has been prosperous for thousands of years, if that person is defeated, let's sting, and after two years, the wind has passed, and we can still resurrect." ”

When Mo Siye heard her say this, he wanted to stop it, but he hesitated for a moment and finally didn't speak. Bai Bowen and Li Zijian looked at each other, and after glancing at each other, Li Zijian said: "Protector, you have always been wise, we will listen to your arrangement." ”

Cheng Shilong's face was expressionless, and he thought for a moment and said: "What Hall Master Duan said is quite reasonable, it turns out that I was a little hesitant, the Red Lotus Sect has been in trouble for the past two days, and I think it is better to find a big tree to enjoy the shade." ”

When Duan Qinglian heard Cheng Shilong say this, she couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in her heart, she tried her best to suppress the smile on her face, and hurriedly said, "We all listen to the arrangement of the Dharma Protector." ”

Mo Sixie said on the side: "Let's discuss this matter again, now the top priority in the sect is that there is no Holy Aunt, what can I do?" ”

There was silence, and the hall was so quiet that you could hear everyone's breathing.

Duan Qinglian suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "There is something that should have been reported to the old holy aunt and the Dharma protector a long time ago, but these days the affairs of the sect are busy, but I forgot to mention it. She glanced at the four of them, who were listening intently to her speech, and then she continued: "If the Dharma Protector and the three hall masters have an impression, they should still remember that there were four girls who were selected to be cultivated as saints, Bai Yi, Red Dress, Huang Lian, and Zi Silk, but one died early and one was lost, leaving only Bai Yi and Ni Hongshang. But a few days ago, I inadvertently found the missing Huang Lian, it turned out that she was very young, greedy to play down the mountain, but forgot the way up the mountain, and finally was patted by someone's teeth, I have made someone check her identity, that is, Huang Lian who was lost twelve years ago. Originally, I thought that she had been wandering outside for so many years, and she didn't know the details, so she didn't report to the Holy Aunt and the Dharma Protector in time, but now it seems that it is better to put Huang Lian on the top, and fill the vacancy of the Red Lotus Sect without a saint, and get through this difficulty. After finishing speaking, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and his eyes looked at the four people with his peripheral vision, and when he saw that the person looked calm, his heart was stable.

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Zijian blurted out: "How can this thing be so coincidental? As soon as Ni Shenggu was killed, Huang Lian fell from the sky, who dared to guarantee that Huang Lian was not sent by the gang that harmed the two Shenggu. ”

As soon as Li Zijian's voice fell, Duan Qinglian's face changed, and before she could speak, Bai Bowen hurriedly stopped: "Hall Master Li, don't think too much, Hall Master Duan has good intentions, we should all be grateful to Hall Master Duan." No matter what the details of this holy woman are, the Red Lotus Sect always has a holy aunt, which is embarrassing. Otherwise, what face does the Red Lotus Sect have to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes? The Red Lotus Sect Holy Maiden went and returned, which is gratifying. ”

Li Zijian listened to Bai Bowen's words, thought about it and said as if he suddenly realized: "I understand, yes, our top priority is to have a saint ........"

Duan Qinglian felt that cold sweat was running down her back, but fortunately, Bai Bowen had fulfilled these words for herself, otherwise Li Zijian would have shouted out regardless of it, and she would have only been able to show up in poverty. But what if they think about it, even if they make a big fuss, they have no evidence, will they be tied up? She thought so in her heart, but her face made a look of being wronged and unable to say it directly.

Mo Sixie also said with a clear look: "Even if Huang Lian is a holy aunt, her foundation in the sect is very shallow, and we have the final say in everything." ”

Everyone unanimously stared at Cheng Shilong, waiting for him to decide. Cheng Shilong said without surprise or joy: "The recovery of the saintess is a great joy for the Red Lotus Sect. When Ni Shenggu is full of three days, let's open the altar to welcome the return of the saint. Duan Qinglian only felt relieved in her heart, and couldn't help but think proudly: Even if someone doubts it, what if someone doubts it, now that the Red Lotus Sect is in this situation, even if it is a fake saint, it will greatly affect everyone's urgent needs, not to mention that Huang Lian's child is indeed an unintentional encounter by herself, and she can be regarded as a true saint. It turned out that Duan Qinglian inadvertently found the saint Huang Lian who disappeared that year, so she had a plan, so she managed to intercept the Red Lotus Order on the way that Mama Bian sent the white clothes and red clothes to Beijing, wanting to make Huang Lian Li Dai Tao stiff, so as to control the Red Lotus Sect in her own hands, but she didn't expect to be connected by Bai Yi and Ma Qingxue, so she had to find another opportunity. These days, going around and around, teaching her to succeed in her schemes, she can't help but be overjoyed.

When he was happy, he heard Cheng Shilong say: "Just now I discussed with you about someone in the palace cooperating with the Red Lotus Sect to rebel, I also have an idea, according to what Hall Master Duan said, even if it is with the tiger, if you become famous, if you fail, you will be stung, I don't know what everyone thinks?" ”

Everyone was silent for a long time, and then said in unison: "But listen to the arrangement of the Protector of the Dharma." ”

Cheng Shilong said again: "I will contact that side in the next few days, explain the meaning of the Red Lotus Sect, and see what they want the Red Lotus Sect to do." ”

Everyone has decided to leave the conference hall, Bai Bowen seems to have something to say, but seeing that Cheng Shilong looks tired, after thinking about it, he still leaves the conference hall. When everyone dispersed, Cheng Shilong couldn't help coughing again, and finally stopped, he unfolded the handkerchief he had just covered his mouth and looked at it, and his face became more and more gray.
