……

Just when Ye Qianqiu was standing on Taiyi Peak and looking in the northeast direction.

In the capital of Liao.

Ye Luming, the king of the North Courtyard, looked at the sky, looked at the clouds in the sky, and his face showed hesitation.

Yeluming is the embodiment of Xiaoyaozi.

Come to think of it, he has been in the capital of this Liao country for some years.

At the beginning, he thought of using the power of the Liao State to unite with Western Xia and Tubo to destroy the Great Song Dynasty.

Later, because he saw the miserable situation of many people on the Song-Liao border, he was a little unbearable, afraid that he would increase his sins.

Originally, he had given up the idea of competing for the world, just waiting for everything to happen naturally.

He just needs to quietly watch Zhao Song fall.

Yelu Hongji led 100,000 troops south, he knew, but it had nothing to do with him, he did not dissuade or persuade him.

Yelu Hongji left him to guard the rear of Shangjingda.

He thought that after a hundred years of waiting, there would finally be a result.

However, something unexpected happened to him.

When he learned that his old friend Ye Qianqiu was outside Yanmen Pass, he killed the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji in one fell swoop, and scared off 100,000 Liao soldiers.

He changed his mind.

He knew that if he continued to develop naturally, it would take many years to destroy Zhao Song.

He couldn't wait.

With his old friend meddling in his affairs, the military morale of the Liao State was in chaos.

He knew that Ye Qianqiu's move at Yanmen Pass was unlikely to be to protect Zhao and Song Jiangshan, but should be for the people of Li to not be affected by the war.

However, Ye Qianqiu's move made him want to see Zhao Song shattered, and he postponed it for many years.

Originally, Yelu Hongji led his troops south this time, and he would definitely have gains, that is, he could not destroy Zhao Song in one fell swoop, and he would definitely be able to beat Zhao Song to a half-crippled.

However, Ye Qianqiu destroyed everything, not only killing Yelu Hongji, but also casting a shadow on the hearts of the 100,000 Liao army.

Yelu Hongji had long thought about going south to invade the Song Dynasty, so Xiaoyaozi was willing to take charge of the North Courtyard and support Yelu Hongji.

But the death of Yeluhongki meant that his plan to go with the flow had failed.

The Liao State was too busy to take care of itself, and several heirs rebelled in the country in order to compete for the throne.

If he hadn't been in charge of the army, where would he have been able to quickly put down the rebellion and put Yeluhongji's grandson on the throne.

Yelu Hongji died, and he had to secure a successor, a staunch supporter of the southward invasion of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, he supported Yelu Yanxi, the grandson of Yelu Hongji, to ascend to the throne, Yelu Yanxi was the heir to the throne, and he was still young, so foolish, and so happy.

Yelu Hongji died, but the demise of Zhao Song could not be postponed.

He must see Zhao Song perish with his own eyes!

He has already made many concessions for the sake of the people of the world.

Now he had to do something about it!

In the past few years, he has asked his three disciples who are not successful to secretly gather people in the rivers and lakes and continue to inquire about the news of the Central Plains.

Today's Song Emperor Zhao Xu is also a person who is very happy, and he always thinks about leading his troops north to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Since his pro-government, he first fought with Western Xia, then with Tubo, and also wanted to start another war with Daliao.

It's just that I don't know what to say, and I will kill myself!

Now he is not only the king of the Northern Courtyard of Liao, but also the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses of Liao.

And his two daughters, one is the concubine of Western Xia and the other is the empress dowager of Tubo.

He has been laying out for so many years, just to wait for the most suitable time to surround Zhao Song on three sides and destroy Zhao Song.

His heart hardened again.

He has been waiting for more than a hundred years.

He didn't want to wait any longer.

The general trend of the world has reached the time when it will be divided for a long time.

When Jeruhunki is dead, he will have to go into battle on his own.

He wants to let Zhao Song fall!

He wants Zhao Er's descendants to also taste the taste of the country being ruined, and his wife and daughter being ridden!

Xiaoyaozi knew that he still had to wait a little longer, until Zhao Song was exhausted, when the Liao State had recovered some vitality, and when he could gather a large number of Han people.

When the time comes, he will be able to establish the Tang Kingdom again.

Thinking of this, Xiaoyaozi's heart lake is difficult to calm down.

He had a hunch that his plan to restore the country might be blocked by his old friend Ye Qianqiu.

It's a kind of guidance that comes from within.

It can also be said to be an intuition.

"Mr. Ye, then let's have a contest."

……

The city of Tokyo during the New Year is still very lively.

Although the weather was still a little cold, it still couldn't hide the smiles on people's faces.

When Lin Lingsu and Dugu Lingsheng entered Tokyo City, they asked people about the location of the Shenxiao Temple.

The two were walking on the street, and when they walked through a street, Lin Lingsu suddenly stopped, looked at the first family at the corner of the street, and sighed slightly.

Dugu Lingsheng saw Senior Brother Lin Lingsu stop and said curiously: "Senior Brother, what's wrong?" ”

When Lin Lingsu heard this, he smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just remembered some things from before." ”

Dugu Lingsheng listened and couldn't help asking: "Senior brother, I heard Senior Sister Yun say that you used to be a scholar in the family of the world-famous writer Su Shi, and now that you have returned to Tokyo, it can be regarded as a revisit to your old place." ”

When Lin Lingsu heard this, he didn't say anything, glanced at the door of the house again, and then walked forward.

Lin Lingsu didn't tell Dugu Lingsheng that the family was the original Su Mansion.

It's just that it's no longer the Su family who lives in it.

After Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty came into power, in order to restore the law of Yuanfeng and implement the new policy, the first thing he did was to demote Su Shi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to the prefect of Dingzhou.

Su Shiwen is famous all over the world, and he bears the world's high expectations.

He is also Wang Anshi's sworn enemy, and has always opposed the new law.

So Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty took him the first to open the knife.

Lin Lingsu has been in control of Shenxiao Hall all these years, and he knows the news that the disciples of the Foreign Affairs Hall have come back.

This major event in the court is naturally within the scope of investigation.

Although Lin Lingsu also misses the old things, he also knows that now is not the time to be sad.

He still has some things to do before he officially takes over the Tokyo Divine Sky Observatory.

"Senior Brother Lingsheng, I'll take you somewhere."

Lin Lingsu did not shy away from Dugu Lingsheng, but said directly to him.

When Dugu Lingsheng heard this, he said, "Senior brother, where are you going?" ”

Lin Lingsu said: "Follow me." ”

……

Chongqing Fang is a famous gambling stall in Tokyo.

The people who came and went were the children of powerful families.

Now, just after the New Year, it is even more crowded, and it is very lively.

When you stand at the door, you can hear the shouts of the gamblers inside.

When Lin Lingsu took Dugu Lingsheng to this famous gambling stall in Tokyo, Dugu Lingsheng was a little stunned.

"Senior brother, what are we doing here?"

"Are we going to go in and gamble?"

"This is not good, if you are short of money, come home with me, I will ask my father to get a hundred and eighty taels, we don't need to go to the gambling house."

Although Dugu Lingsheng is the only son in the family, he only likes to dance with knives and sticks since he was a child, and he likes music and rhythm, and he has never liked this gambling stall.

His father taught him since he was a child, don't get poison in anything, otherwise his leg will be broken.

Dugu Lingsheng has kept this in mind since he was a child.

Lin Lingsu's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he said calmly: "Senior Brother Lingsheng, we are not here to gamble, we are here to smash the field." ”

"Smash the field!"

Dugu Lingsheng's eyes lit up.

The next moment, I saw that Lin Lingsu had already taken a step and stepped into the gambling stall.

After a while, Dugu Lingsheng heard a sudden shouting and scolding in the gambling stall.

Then there was a rattle of bells.

After a while, Lin Lingsu walked out of the gambling stall and said to Dugu Lingsheng, who was still in a daze, "Senior Brother Lingsheng, let's go." ”

Dugu Lingsheng was stunned, looked inside the gambling stall, and then looked at Lin Lingsu, only to feel that the Lin Lingsu in front of him was a little different from the senior brother Lin Lingsu he usually saw.

On weekdays, the senior brother is steady and always kind to people.

When I arrived in Tokyo City, why did I suddenly look like a different person, and this time I entered the city, I directly smashed the gambling stalls of Chongqing Fang, what kind of trouble is this?

Without waiting for Dugu Lingsheng to think about it, Lin Lingsu had already strode forward and walked towards the flow of people.

Dugu Lingsheng also hurriedly followed.

……

Not long after Lin Lingsu made a big fuss about Chongqing's gambling stalls.

Tokyo, Daishokokuji Temple.

In the Temple of the Heavenly King.

An old monk sat in it, and a monk hurriedly came and said to the old monk: "Master, the people from the Shenxiao Sect have already entered the Shenxiao Temple. ”

The old monk closed his eyes and said, "Who is coming?" ”

The monk said: "It's the eldest disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, Lin Lingsu." ”

When the old monk heard this, he opened his eyes, and there was a gleam in his eyes.

"The hand of the Shenxiao faction has finally reached Kaifeng Mansion."

"However, fortunately, it wasn't that land immortal Ye Zhenren who came to Tokyo in person, otherwise, it would be troublesome."

"In this way, you immediately sent a message to the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Master Shenyin of Qingliang Temple in Wutai Mountain, Master Daoqing of Jiangnan Pudu Temple, and Master Juexian of Lushan Donglin Temple, saying that Lin Lingsu, the eldest disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, has taken over the Shenxiao Temple in Tokyo."

"The old man invited them to come to the Great Xiangguo Temple for a while."

When the monk heard this, he bowed to the old monk and held his hand, and then hurried away.

After the monk left, the old monk stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall, and after a while, the old monk came to the abbot's meditation room of the Great Xiangguo Temple.

The abbot of Daxiangguo Temple is facing the wall and participating in Zen.

I saw the old monk bowing towards the abbot and holding his hand, and said, "Senior brother abbot." ”

The abbot didn't look back and said, "It's Guanxin, how come you have time to come to Lao Gao." ”

The old monk said: "Senior brother abbot, I have something to inform the senior brother of the abbot. ”

The abbot said, "What's the matter?" ”

The old monk said: "Lin Lingsu, the eldest disciple of Ye Zhenren of the Shenxiao Sect, has arrived in Tokyo and has taken over the Tokyo Shenxiao Observatory. ”

The abbot said, "Oh? So what? ”

The old monk said: "Shenxiao sent Ye Zhenren to resist the Liao army of 100,000, and he had a high prestige among the people and the royal family, and was canonized by the emperor as Zixiao Qingwei Pudu Tianzun. ”

"It was just that the Shenxiao faction didn't settle in Tokyo before, but now the Shenxiao faction has not only come, but Lin Lingsu, the eldest disciple of the Shenxiao faction, has taken over the Shenxiao Temple."

"This is not a good thing for my Daxiangguo Temple."

"Moreover, once the influence of the Shenxiao Sect in Tokyo deepens, the influence of our Buddhism will decline."

"When the time comes, it will cause us a lot of trouble to promote the Dharma."

"Please also ask the abbot to make plans early."

When the abbot heard this, he still didn't look back, but only said one word.

"Well, the old man knows, you can go back first."

When the old monk heard this, he silently withdrew from the meditation room.

……

Zhongnan Mountain, in the Shenxiao Hall.

Ye Qianqiu was discussing the essence of the Shenxiao Thunder Method with the three elders.

As he spoke, Yangping Zhenren Wang Shouyi suddenly said, "Senior Brother Zhang, I heard that you let Lingsu and Lingsheng go to Tokyo?" ”

When Ye Qianqiu heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and said, "Yes, now they should also go to Tokyo." ”

Wang Shouyi: "How long does Senior Brother Lingsu and Lingsheng plan to stay in Tokyo?" ”

Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "Stay and take a look first." ”

When Wang Shou heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Senior brother, I have a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Ye Qianqiu said: "What can't be said." ”

Wang Shouyi: "Tokyo is not as good as Chang'an, and we can't reach it." ”

"We've been running Shaanxi very well in five years, so why bother to go to Tokyo, a place of right and wrong."

"Since the elder brother in charge was named Zixiao Qingwei Pudu Tianzun, the momentum of our Shenxiao faction has increased a lot, and it has a great influence among the Daomen."

"In the past few years, there have been many sects in the Dao Sect who have come to Zhongnan Mountain to pay their respects, in order to take charge of the prestige of the senior brother and the status of the Shenxiao Sect in the Dao Sect."

"I'm afraid that Lingsu's going to Tokyo will cause some people to be jealous."

"After all, my Daomen has always had no roots in Kaifeng Mansion, Henan."

"It's the only Buddhist family there."

"Tokyo Daxiangguo Temple is a royal temple, although its status in the martial arts is not as good as Songshan Shaolin Temple, but it is a place that cannot be underestimated in Buddhism."

"Daxiangkokuji Temple has always emphasized Buddhism and light martial arts, and it still has a status among the dignitaries and nobles in Tokyo."

"Lingsu will definitely be rewarded and received by the emperor when he goes to Tokyo, and once the Shenxiao Temple is opened, it will inevitably attract the powerful people in Beijing."

"In the long run, believers will have a dispute with Daxiangguo Temple."

"So, I'm thinking about whether to send some more people to Lingsu."

When Ye Qianqiu heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "Senior Brother Shouyi is reasonable, but there is no need to send additional manpower." ”

"You and I both know Lingsu's ability to handle affairs, and he will handle Tokyo's affairs well."

"If there is really something, when necessary, I will personally go to Tokyo, if those old monks dare to bully the small and bully my disciples, don't blame me for going to their monk temple."

"If they are kind, it's fine, if they really dare to be moths, I won't get used to them."

Wang Shou listened to them one by one, yes, he was worrying blindly, the head of the sect had already planned everything, why should he worry.

Brother Zhang's brother is right, if those monks dare to blow up the thorns, and Brother Zhang's brother will go on a trip in person, what else will be uneven.

Thinking of this, Wang Shouyi's heart was put down.

Ye Qianqiu was thinking on the side, he asked Lin Lingsu to go to Tokyo this time, just to let Lin Lingsu go and light the cannon.

Lin Lingsu had an extreme temperament in the early years, and although he has improved a lot in the past few years, there are some things in his bones that cannot be sharpened for a few years.

The breath held in my heart, if it is not dispersed, it will be a problem.

Lin Lingsu was angry with the monk back then, and he will definitely make up for it in the future.

Ye Qianqiu knew Lin Lingsu very well, so he deliberately let Lin Lingsu go to Tokyo.

Didn't he know that Tokyo was the base camp of Buddhism?

He knew it very well.

He just wants to make Lin Lingsu make trouble, and it's best to make a big fuss.

Shaolin Temple has been holding back for several years, and it is not obvious on the rivers and lakes, and it seems to have disappeared from the rivers and lakes all of a sudden.

Ye Qianqiu wanted to use Lin Lingsu's hand to drag the Shaolin Temple out of the ravine, suppress the Shaolin Temple again, and not let the Shaolin Temple develop with a dull head.

If the Taoist Gate wants to develop, it is necessary to step on the Buddhist Gate on the soles of the feet.

What Daxiangguo Temple, Qingliang Temple, and Pudu Temple have to be pulled out and stepped on again, even if Lin Lingsu makes a drama to destroy the Buddha, Ye Qianqiu will definitely support his apprentices.

If you want to do it, you naturally have to do it big.

Ye Qianqiu had thought about this very clearly a long time ago.

……

Just when Ye Qianqiu was sharpening his knife.

In the Ethereal Peak Vulture Palace in the Western Regions Tianshan Mountains, Tianshan Tong's grandmother received a secret letter from Shangjing of the Liao Kingdom.
