Confidants

Liu Yun raised his eyebrows.

Except for Tang Yuchen, who is qualified to become the confidant of the sovereign of Qi.

But he never thought that the internal contradictions in Qi Yueguo had intensified to such an extent. On one side is the young Qiyue Lord, and on the other side is the eldest princess of Qiyue, who is in power, and it is already an endless situation without making a sound.

Tang Yuchen announced the world early and would come to the Great Zen Temple today to offer incense. And Manager He chose to meet him at this time and place, and even mentioned the "big trouble", his purpose was obvious - to assassinate Tang Yuchen in the Great Chantou Temple.

But

In an instant, Liu Yun denied the idea just now.

Tang Yuchen's exit from the palace is indeed a good opportunity to start, but the masters of the Great Chantou Temple are gathered, and there is also the sky monk who is the first in martial arts among the young generation of Qijing, plus the secret guard under Tang Yuchen, who will return here and now to assassinate the ten ** will be returned. How could a person like Mr. He make such a mistake.

Liu Yun glanced over, and saw Zuo Huan's face change slightly, obviously he also thought of this layer.

"My lord" Liu Yun arched his hand, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Manager He shaking his hand.

"Calm down, and let me tell you from the beginning."

With his back to Liu Yun and Zuo Huan, Manager He paced, as if he was brewing a speech.

"You should always know about the rebellion of the Little Zen Sect five years ago." Stopping, Manager He looked at Liu Yun and Zuo Huan, and his expression became solemn: "But have you ever thought about why those monks and soldiers rebelled?" It's just a monk soldier, how can he be arrogant for a few months and almost pry the foundation of Qi Yue? ”

Liu Yun didn't understand why Chief Manager He suddenly mentioned the East China Sea rebellion five years ago, but it had come to this point, and he could only listen patiently.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess personally put on her stubbornness and went to quell the rebellion, and the victory and triumph also captured several monk and soldier leaders, and she planned to behead them on the street to set the record straight. I didn't want to be on the first night of arriving in Qijing, and several bandit leaders who were imprisoned in the water prison died violently. This incident is extremely strange, and it is obvious that someone deliberately did it to kill people and cover up some unspeakable secrets. The king and the eldest princess were furious and ordered me to investigate to the end, and for the next three years, I left all the affairs at hand and pursued the matter wholeheartedly, and finally let me discover who was behind it."

"Who is it?" Zuo Huan asked impatiently.

"The murderer who killed those monks and bandits is none other than the Sky Monk who is the most popular in the Great Zen Head Temple, known as the Little Holy Monk!" Mr. He sneered and said word by word.

"Why did he kill people?" Liu Yun asked suspiciously.

"For a measuring stick." He Zong Pipe.

Liu Yun "buzzed" in his head, and he lowered his head to hide his complicated expression.

Previously, Liu Yun was still skeptical of Manager He's words, but at this moment he had believed eight points.

The Sky Monk was known as the "Demon Slayer Monk" in later generations, and he was jealous and hateful, and he was extremely disgusted with the evil Dao Demon Gate. Since the beginning of the Wu Yuan period, good and evil have been intertwined, and there are even more demons that have caused trouble in the world, setting off a bloody storm and rain, which is a great disaster in the world. The Zichen Divine Court is high, and it will never make a move unless it is time for the change of dynasty. The Cave Mirror Blessed Land is more like an unreachable legend, and its descendants show traces of puppets, and more often the dragon sees the tail and does not see the head. Although the remaining Yun Sect takes it as its mission to slay demons and eliminate demons, how can it be the opponent of the Demon Gate of the world? At this time, there was a sky monk, his strength is second only to the three saints and five emperors, but there is one ability that the three saints and five emperors are not as good as him, that is the ability to subdue demons.

When the sky monk encounters the strong man of the Demon Gate, he can always play extraordinarily, fighting all over the demons, and there is no opponent. Later, when the people in the Demon Gate heard the name of the sky, they all fled in spite of the wind, and none of the three thousand Demon Gates dared to beat their edge. In this way, the Demon Gate missed the best opportunity to rise, and the Sky Pulse passed on the Demon Slayer Heart Sutra from generation to generation, until the saint was born and completely destroyed the Demon Gate in the world. And in the era of the Sage Emperor, the Demon Slaying Heart Sutra is no longer a secret that cannot be passed on, and even Liu Yun still remembers the first sentence of the opening chapter - what is the demon, measure the heart with a small ruler.

"What does the measuring tape do?"

Zuo Huan asked, and also pulled Liu Yun back to reality.

"Demon Metallurgy." Manager He stared coldly at the rape garden not far away, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, low and hoarse.

Demon smelting?

Liu Yun frowned, thinking about the meaning of these two words.

"Lord He, have you suffered too much?" Zuo Huan suddenly asked.

Liu Yun glanced at Zuo Huan, and said in his heart that this son is not very old, but his eyes are very sharp, and he is worthy of the first assassin in the Wu Yuan period. It's a pity that he speaks too straight and his tone is aggressive, which will inevitably cause people to be displeased after a long time.

Manager He obviously knew Zuo Huan's surname, so he didn't care, but laughed and said, "I was really hit by Xiao Zuo's words." Five years ago, I was ordered by the king to track down the matter of the monks and bandits, and two years later, there was a clue, when I sneaked into the Great Zen Temple at night, I happened to meet the sky monk. I was wearing a night suit that covered my face, and he didn't recognize me. At that time, I was already the ninth level of the path, and he was only the sixth level of the path, and I didn't want to hurt him, so I slapped out a palm, and inadvertently slapped the silver ruler on his waist. The skin of my hand was cut by a silver ruler, and a faint stream of air penetrated the wound, and I was in a hurry to find clues and didn't pay much attention to it. But when I returned to the palace, I found that something was wrong, I couldn't control my emotions, and I fell into madness, and I wanted to break out of the palace. Fortunately, I met Lord Gongqing, who summoned the guards to subdue me and fed me the Tranquility Decoction. After that, this madness flared up a few more times, but fortunately, Gong Qing and his old man were pedantic and tried their best to help me refine my inner demons and drive away this madness. I never thought that after this, my cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds, comprehend the way of heaven and earth, and break through to the heavenly realm, which was already hopeless. ”

Speaking of which, Mr. He sighed.

Liu Yun knew the complicated emotions in his heart, he was blessed by He Gongqing to save his life, and even his surname was given by the other party, but Qi Yue Sanqing was on Tang Yuchen's side, and now Chief He rebelled against the king, in a sense, he had betrayed Qi Yue Gongqing, who had great grace to him. Sanqing led the army to go on an expedition overseas, and now the news of the defeat of the expeditionary force has reached the ears of the upper echelons of the Qi State, and the monarch of the Qi State, who has endured it for five years, ushered in his opportunity, won over the courtiers, cultivated cronies, and only wanted to fight to the death with Tang Yuchen in this hundred miles of capital.

"Now you should know why the Sky Monk is killing people and killing people?"

Manager He looked up at Liu Yun and Zuo Huan, and asked like an exam.

"I know!" Zuo Huan's eyes rolled, and his heavy pupils flashed: "The Sky Monk must have injured those monks and soldiers when he was trying to measure the heart ruler, which made their surnames change greatly, and they defected from the Great Zen Temple to the East China Sea." They have demons in their hearts, so they gather the exiles to rebel. They were blessed by misfortune, their cultivation was greatly advanced, and their wisdom increased, so they ran rampant in the East China Sea and were arrogant for several months. ”

"Xiao Zuo really didn't disappoint me." Mr. He's eyes showed appreciation, and he stroked his palms.

Liu Yun also nodded secretly, his thoughts coincided with Zuo Huan.

From this point of view, the reason why the Sky Monk was able to become the "Demon Slayer Monk" who made the Tianque Demon Gate fearful in the future was due to this measure of the heart. He said that he was dignified like a holy monk, and he jumped out of the Buddhist wall at night and traveled thousands of miles to kill bandits and eliminate thieves, because he was inspired by the heart measuring stick and the demon surname, he could only be stifled by killing. In order to conceal the secret of the measuring ruler, he deceived Tang Yuchen, took advantage of Tang Yuchen's trust in him to sneak into the water prison, and killed the monks and bandits in the water prison, which broke Tang Yuchen's heart from then on.

The past is gradually connected.

Liu Yun raised his head and met Chief Manager He's probing gaze: "The confidant that Lord He said should refer to the Sky Monk." However, Liu Yun still has one thing to understand, why did a monster like a measuring ruler fall into the hands of the little holy monk? ”

The perfect opportunity to kill the future "Demon Slayer Monk" was just around the corner, but Liu Yun always felt a little unreal.

Two years ago, Qi Jun had the opportunity to kill the Sky Monk, why did he wait until now?

"I don't know." Chief Manager He shook his head slightly: "However, according to Lord Gongqing, after reading many classics, the first appearance of the heart measuring ruler was in a Nanban tribe named Tu Du. After the Tu Mu clan was destroyed, the measuring ruler also continued to change owners, and maybe it flowed into my southeast region after this. ”

It won't be such a coincidence

Liu Yun was calm on the surface, but he was shocked in his heart.

He had also heard the name Tu Mu, and one of the seven legendary stories left by Feng Zhenlei was about Tu Mu.
