Chapter 80: Recent Developments

Late at night, Tu Feng Zong, the patriarch's hall.

Six giant lamps were lit in the Patriarch's Hall and hung in the sky. But the light of the fire was very dim.

In the spacious hall, the ten Supreme Elders of this session sat on the elder seats on both sides. On the main seat sat the sect master's heart Zhaodao person. In the long corridor in the middle, there stood a large ding, which was red in the dim light. There was a huge knife stuck in it, and there were two people who were tall and huge. To be precise, it should be enshrined in this swordβ€”it floats in the middle of the giant ding, and the purple Seven Killing Star Qi is densely coiled around the hilt below.

It is said that this is the natal sword of the Seven Absolute Scattered People of the Patriarch of the Tu Feng Sect. In the legend of the Tu Pig Sect, its spirit was originally stored in an ordinary pig-killing knife. When the Seven Absolute Scattered People used to be a pig slaughterer, they awakened the machine spirit by chance, and later opened a sect, seized the knife, and directly put the machine spirit into it. Back then, the Seven Absolute Ancestors turned into immortals, and the spirit of the instrument soared. This spiritual weapon was left in the sect for some reason, and it had part of the spiritual wisdom of the instrument spirit, and with the passage of thousands of years, most of the spiritual wisdom has now disappeared.

"This Li Yang Chang Shi Ji Wen... Senior Brother Xinheng, is there any news about his current relationship with Fan Yang?" The Heart Zhao Sect Master on the main seat had an expressionless face, and a dull voice sounded.

Xin Heng sat on the elder's seat one position away from Xin Zhao. He sighed when he heard this, stood up and replied, "Back to the sect master, I have investigated that in the past few months, there has been no sign of interaction between Lord An and Liyang. ”

"Oh, Lord Ann. Since Xinheng said so after his investigation, then this suspicion will be put aside. After all, we only learned about Ji Wen's link not long ago, so please tell me what kind of relationship Ji Wen was in with Yang Guozhong at that time. ”

In the shadow on the left stood a man as fat as a mountain, and An Lushan sat in the guest seat next to another Supreme Elder Xinhua Daoist. Because tonight was the meeting where Tu Fengzong made the final decision on the matter of the mysterious organization, he took the time to attend the meeting in person, regardless of his busy schedule.

"Sect Master, and all the seniors. An Lushan's voice was full of emotion, and it seemed that he had already written the manuscript and was ready for tonight. "I am a rough man, I have a humble background since I was a child, but I am fortunate to be valued by His Majesty and the noble concubine, so I have the status of today's Three Towns Festival Envoy. Such kindness should not have been done in rebellion..."

A sneer suddenly came from mid-air in the main hall, and then a voice came from nowhere, "Needless to say, these words are used to sensationalize and deceive children, which person here is not several times older than yours? ”

In the darkness of mid-air, there were actually four spirits hovering. They were four fourth-generation disciples who were summoned through the special method of the Yuan Infant Stage to participate in the proceedings of the conference, so that they did not have to go there themselves. The words just now were uttered by the occult energy who was in retreat, using a fake body to manipulate the spirit.

The other three immortal masters are Xuanmeng of the seventh seat of the original four generations, Xuanqing of the tenth seat of the original four generations, and the only female immortal master, Xuan Miao.

"But, Lord An, you have to keep in mind. I don't know if they told you about it. If it is slaughtered.. Yexin Sect wanted to help a person rebel, but this person did something that went against the way of heaven. That's right, it is to instigate public opinion, take advantage of a large number of people to worship, and incite them to do something not very good. I'm telling you, it's absolutely retrograde. Lord An, the entire Tang Dynasty has a full 30,000 believers. ”

"What the master said is very true. Xuan Neng paused at this point, and it was his beloved disciple Elder Xinyin who took over. Xinyin's face was illuminated by the dim lights, and he was really a beautiful embryo, and he also had a kind of small jasper temperament that female cultivators of the same generation did not have.

"The person that Master Zun said will not only lose all his hard-earned qi and dragon luck, but also lead us down the abyss. Time is running out, Lord An, and tonight, none of us want to hear anything with a hint of falsehood. The voice of the heart sound contained a unique attraction, but when the aftersound fell, everyone heard the chill in her words, and An Lushan's fat shadow shook even more.

"Senior sister!" Xin Zhaodao waved his hand with some dissatisfaction, and then looked at An Lushan, who was still standing.

Xinyin sat down, but a pair of beautiful eyes showed their edge, staring at the tall and fat An Lushan in the shadows.

"I understand, I understand what your seniors mean. But An can definitely promise you or swear that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me. Moreover, yesterday An suddenly figured out one thing, and the points that this organization has always made us wonder about seem to be able to be explained with this. Please explain to the seniors. An Lushan said unhurriedly. Xin Zhao spoke at the same time, asking the elders to listen to his final explanation.

"As I said earlier, thanks to the Emperor's grace, this should not have been done. So ten years ago, An's request was only for the position of prime minister ten years later. ”

"But three years ago, you raised the conditions to this world. An Lushan, Xinzhao told you that this is the first time you have touched the bottom line of our sect, and it is also the last time. We have agreed to this request that may be punished by heaven, and I hope you will stop making trouble for us!"

A cold female voice came from mid-air in the main hall, which was the voice of the spirit body of the mysterious immortal master who had been training far away.

"Yes.. Yes, An understood what the immortal master said. That's exactly what I'm trying to say. Three years ago, it was when Yang Guozhong served as the right minister and was awarded the title of Duke of Weiguo. This man has a deep enmity with me, and has repeatedly viciously slandered me in front of His Majesty. Before he became the right minister, he spread rumors many times that I wanted to rebel. ”

"You probably don't know. Ten years ago, Yang Guozhong entered the court because of Yang Yuhuan's career. At that time, his official position was not high, and he saw that I was in charge of the three towns, had a close relationship with the Hu people in the north, and made great achievements. He wanted to talk to me. At that time, we both belonged to Li Linfu's subordinates, and An only respected Li Linfu in his life, and he had the grace of knowing me, which made me have today's status. ”

"But for Yang Guozhong, this person is purely opportunistic, and he is really a despicable villain with his sister Yang Yuhuan in the court. He didn't do anything for long under Li Linfugong, and he thought about overpowering him and gaining more power. This person, An Mou, disagreed, and never ignored him. But Yang Guozhong didn't know what was serious, and he even hinted that I had a strong army in my hands, so why not take the opportunity to coerce the imperial court? That's right, this person who has been spreading rumors that I want to rebel is the first person to give me such a suggestion!"

"At that time, I scolded him bitterly, but at the same time, because the situation he said did exist, my relationship with His Majesty was not as it is now. I didn't dare to strike first, lest I lose both of them. He probably had such concerns, and the matter was never mentioned again. But since then, the two of us have formed a strong bond. Since then, he has risen all the way to the rank of official, slandering and slandering me, and at that time he did not dare to say that I was treasoning, but he still spoke ill of me in front of His Majesty. I had no choice but to see him rely on his whiskers to shoot horses, and his official fortune even gradually surpassed Li Linfu's public interest, and soon I chose to recognize Yang Yuhuan as my godmother to protect myself. ”

A sneer erupted from the dimly lit elders' seat. This is the third soul Taoist of the five generations. There are a lot of rumors between An Lushan and Yang Guifei, and he looks down on the guy who relies on women to save his life.

An Lushan paused and continued, "Although this person often slanders in front of His Majesty, I have the trust of His Majesty, and I have never made any trouble, nor have I ever conspired against him. Until three years ago, Yang Guozhong held power... Ladies and gentlemen, three years ago, it was also Ji Wen, and when the former Takebe Shirou was pulled down by him, there has been no news of Ji Wen again. ”

"Yang Guozhong became the right minister, and after holding various positions, he belittled and slandered me even more, and began to frame me for rebellion. At that time, there were more henchmen in his court, and there was a saying that three people became tigers, and these people slandered in front of His Majesty every day, and I understood that His Majesty would gradually lose his trust in me. So you can only break the can and fall, and there is only one way to rebel and do it to the end. Otherwise, there will be no way out for a long time. ”

"What do you mean..."Xin Heng suddenly understood something, and interjected from his seat, "Three years ago was when you were planning to rebel, and it was also the time when Yang Guozhong demoted Ji Wen and brought him under his control. His motives for rebellion were seen by him, and he understood that your strength was not bad, and in order to protect himself, he forced Giwen to win over such a group of people in three years. Because Giwin used to have a good relationship with you, so he could frame it for you?"

"First, it can make the court suspect your motives. Second, it can make us suspicious of you, and even, give up helping you, so that he, Yang Guozhong, can attack you!"

An Lushan clenched his fists, and the shadow on the wall bowed heavily. You have investigated in the capital, and you should also know what kind of demon Yang Guozhong portrayed An in the court. But you don't know, it's not that An wants to rebel, but he really has to rebel!"

"I see.. I see...," Xin Heng muttered. When the other elders heard this, they all fell into deep thought.

"Words are unfounded, who wouldn't have these reasonings?Lord An, we want to see what can actually be proven!" Xinheng stood up and patted his chest, "Senior sister, everyone, Xinheng is willing to vouch for An Lushan!"

"Seventh Senior Brother!"

"If this person is allowed to drag our sect into the abyss, are we still worthy of the Seven Punishments Blood Blade of the Ancestral Master!"

Xinzhao's face sank, and he raised his voice a little, "You two, calm down!"

"Hehe, Xinheng, you're still smart. Your high-ranking disciples have really inherited your cleverness. The voice of Xuan Neng was heard again in mid-air.

"Thanks to the praise of the immortal master, the apprentice was able to enter the secret realm, thanks to the kindness of the immortal master. Speaking of this, Xin Heng also had to thank him, although he immediately chuckled in his heart.

"Let this seat be the master for you, Sect Master?" Xuan Neng's voice was unhurried and had a slight smile. "There is some truth in the understanding of the nephew of Xin Heng, but it is only limited to inference. And in view of the fact that the ceremony of the sacrifice of the Lord of Ontar cannot be postponed any longer. This seat suggests that the affairs of Lord An be handled first. However, after Lord An returned to the three towns of Fanyang, he had to find out the members of those organizations in the field under his rule, and kill them. In the future, when you enter the army, as long as you find out the members of the organization, you will be killed! Of course, our sect will also send people to arrest people with you. ”

"If you can do both, I'll believe in you unconditionally, how about it?" Xuan Neng's voice grew more and more smiling, but still very kind and gentle.

After listening to his words, some people immediately agreed, and some people stood up against it. The Supreme Elders had their own opinions, and it seemed that there were also different opinions among several fourth-generation immortal masters. And Xin Heng didn't have the slightest intention of this at the moment, but thought about Xia Fanxing, an apprentice in Liyang. At this moment, a gentle voice reached his ears.

"Senior nephew, although your reasoning is reasonable, after all, it is just lip service, don't be overconfident. Don't let the person who is investigating have preconceived opinions, okay? This matter, in the old man's opinion, there are still a few doubts... The most important thing is, according to him, how did Yang Guozhong know about our alliance with Fan Yang so early?"

Xin Heng's pupils dilated suddenly, and he was heard saying again, "The conference is over, come to the Yongmeilin Monument and look for the fake body of this seat." ”

......

Xia Fanxing helped the people of Chonghai Dao pour a large bowl of purple-black blood out of the hall, walked back to the bedroom, and saw Chonghai sitting at the foot of Li Wan's bed with his hands on his face, and let out a long sigh.

Without waiting for him to speak, Chong Hai said first, "Master Yuan, that cub dagger has a kind of insect poison under it, and your master must sleep for half a day to barely stop the toxin attack." But those three fingers... Eh, the old man really tried his best, but he couldn't help it... Alas, what kind of sin has I created in this cloud weaving view, and Your Highness will come here..."

When Xia Fanxing heard this, he also sat down and said, "Dao Chief, you have nothing to do when you are idle, so tell me about the recent people's situation here in Liyang? ”

Chong Hai narrowed his eyes and glanced at him, stroked his two white whiskers, and said slowly, "Our Liyang is very different from other places, and the Dao Society is particularly strong. And the Weaving Cloud Temple, in the entire Jiuli region, is the largest Taoist temple, and dominates the Taoist forces in the entire Liyang..."
