Chapter 89: The Heavenly Assembly
"Fart! There is nothing around this high platform, flying down, there is nowhere to borrow strength, this lifeless thing, you actually use it for trials, doesn't the state religion have any intention of choosing a new saint at all? Before His Holiness could finish speaking, someone in the audience shouted angrily
"The state religion is just such a pastime for me to wait!"
"What's the difference between your actions and a cult!"
"How can there be such a method of selecting people in the world!"
The surrounding shouting and scolding, the noise was endless, and Venerable Lianhua saw that the scene was a little out of control, and closed his eyes and began to chant something, and after a while, more voices suddenly appeared around to chant scriptures, and the sound became louder and louder, such as Huang Zhong Da Lu, shocking. Some Jianghu people with poor internal strength couldn't resist such a voice and fainted on the spot.
After about a quarter of an hour, the voice stopped abruptly, and Venerable Lianhua said, "In the state religion, it is forbidden to make noise. The topic has been decided, if you don't want to participate, you can leave now. The hour is almost here, and you only have half an hour to think about it, so please decide for yourself. ”
The old man hesitated for a moment just now and asked, "I heard that the last generation of the national religion election, martial arts, miscellaneous studies, arithmetic, stargazing, and concentration. Basically, the assessment is mixed and wide, but the topics of this national religious election are a bit unbelievable, why is this. ”
Venerable Lianhua nodded: "This time is different from the past, the responsibilities of the saintess of the state religion have changed, and the assessment standards have changed. ”
Just when everyone was thinking about whether there was a possibility of passing the trial, the Qianqiu Holy Maiden quietly left here, and with her, there was Du Jie from Tianji Gate. And in the far darkness, there are three people hiding in the shadows, melting into the night.
"Big brother, the saint and the kid surnamed Du left. Look at the direction should be the main hall of the state church. The woman among the three whispered
And the person who was called the eldest brother nodded: "I'm afraid that the news that the Holy Lord wants to hear is at this moment, let's go." Leave it alone, let's go to the Anglican Hall. ”
These three people were actually the three soldiers sent by the little emperor. The three of them followed the Qianqiu Saintess and Du Jie from a distance, and also came to the main hall of the state religion.
As soon as she entered the main hall, the Thousand Autumn Holy Maiden dismissed all the others.
"Qianqiu meets the fairy lord."
Du Jie hurriedly went over and helped the saint up: "The saint doesn't have to be like this, hey, although I have been learning art with the black and white elders for three years, I still haven't adapted to the identity of the fairy lord." ”
The Qianqiu Holy Maiden said with a smile: "The old fairy lord was the same as the fairy lord back then, and he felt that everything was like a dream, until something earth-shaking happened to him. Time is pressing, Qianqiu invited the fairy lord to come over, just to tell him. ”
"The Holy Maiden has something to say, please."
"Immortal Lord, news has come from the Northwest Land that the great merchant Li Wenyuan has disappeared. This news came from the Tianji Gate, and Zhou Li sent the fire spirit to inform it. Zhou Lixin also said that your group may have been followed by the cult, so I can only tell you on my behalf. According to the news, someone asked Tianjimen to help him find out Li Wenyuan. Chiaki took out a note at this time.
"What? Li Gong was kidnapped? Du Jie was also shocked when he heard this, and took the note and looked at it. This Li Wenyuan and he have had a few encounters, and his impression of the kind-looking old man is quite good. He disappeared suddenly, was he kidnapped? "My grandfather and I also went to his house as guests, not to mention that they were heavily defended, and it was definitely not something that thieves and thieves could enter. Did you go missing or were you kidnapped? ”
"It's not as simple as being kidnapped. Li Wenyuan was kidnapped, and now the Li family has no one to call the shots, and his sons and wives in each room have begun to stir up and divide their families, and the Li family is a big businessman in the entire northwest, and when his family is in chaos, the prices of goods in the entire northwest have begun to shake and be uneasy, and in the past few months, there have been many hunger riots in the northwest, and the Li family's various grain numbers, pawnshops, and silk villages in the local area have been frantically robbed. But even so, most of the sons of the Li family still don't care about their father's life or death, but Li Wenyuan's adopted son doesn't know how to contact Tianjimen. The Thousand Autumn Saintess sighed, and then told Du Jie what she knew.
Du Jie's face was melancholy after hearing this: "There are perennial wars in the northwest, and the common people are almost unclothed, and when we were there, the magistrate invited me to suppress the hunger riots, and the saint may not have imagined that kind of scene, a big man who was a soldier with a spear against four or five unarmed hungry people, and my five hundred dragon and tiger guards could not do it at that time." Later, I became acquainted with a Xiucai in this group of people, who was so poor that he could only come to ask for food because his family's land had been expropriated by the local government, and no one had asked him to teach. He told me, you haven't been hungry, you don't know, hunger is the most painful chronic death. All these people have no dignity and no gender for a bite to eat. For them, they are not worth a vicious dog in the rich family. ”
"Immortal Lord, do you know why Zhou Li told me at this time?"
"Is there anything going on?"
"The person who came back from the northwest just told me today that Li Wenyuan's disappearance seems to have something to do with the cult. If this is the case, it is incumbent on you to pick immortals. ”
"Cult?"
"That's right, not long ago, there was a secret story from the northwest, and many martial arts people went to Bulao Mountain to find out, but they didn't know how there was a fight, and the situation was so tragic that all the people who went there died in Bulao Mountain. It's incredible. Zhou Li used a lot of means, and finally found out that there seemed to be a cult in the northwest. This cult was originally on the coast of the East China Sea,......" the Thousand Autumn Saintess was saying when she suddenly heard three clapping voices outside the door.
After hearing the sound outside, an unexpected look appeared on her face, and then she snorted coldly and said to herself, "It's really fast." ”
Without waiting for Du Jie to ask anything, the Qianqiu Holy Maiden continued: "The matter of the cult will be slowly known by the Immortal Lord in the future, I don't have much time, I can only tell the Immortal Lord that there should be a catastrophe in the northwest." It also involves a cult, and his subordinates want to ask the immortal lord to go to the northwest to check it out as a Tianjimen person. And ......"
Speaking of the back, I saw that although the Qianqiu Holy Maiden's mouth moved slightly, she didn't make a sound at all, and it was directly transmitted into Du Jie's ears.
"What? This is also ......" As soon as Du Jie asked for proof, the Qianqiu Holy Maiden immediately shook her head and silenced him
"You know what I know, the immortal lord still puts his own life first when he goes to the northwest, and he leaves if he can't do anything."
"Let me go as a member of the Tianji Gate? Holy Maiden, there are some things I still don't understand. ”
"When I don't have time, I'll send someone to help secretly. The immortal lord said goodbye, and wished the immortal lord to break the cult as soon as possible and return the world to peace and prosperity. ”
As soon as the words fell, a Venerable walked in from outside the hall, and the Venerable hurriedly pulled this Du Jie to the depths of the main hall, and the Holy Maiden of Qianqiu walked towards the outside of the hall.
There is actually a secret passage in the main hall of the state religion, the secret passage winds and circles, like a labyrinth, and the Venerable took Du Jie for about an hour, and finally walked out. After bringing Du Zhuo here, His Holiness returned to the secret path without looking back, and it seemed that he had returned to China to teach.
Du Jie looked up and saw that it seemed to be in a mansion. He turned over and walked out of the courtyard, with tall red walls and green tiles outside. He turned his head and saw a golden hall standing behind him not far away.
This is actually the Imperial Palace! In the main hall of the state religion, there is actually a secret passage leading directly to the hinterland of the palace. If this is known to the little emperor, he will definitely have trouble sleeping.
And at this moment, the state religion, the Holy Maiden of Qianqiu walked outside the temple gate and stood motionless in front of the temple. But there was a sudden rumor of wind around them, and then three figures were thrown to the ground like sandbags. Then the other three people fluttered down beside the Thousand Autumn Saintess.
The Qianqiu Holy Maiden looked at them with a sneer: "Sure enough, there are spies." ”
But when he saw the appearance of these three people, there was obvious anger in his eyes: "It's the three of you? You are so bold that you dare to come to the state religion to make a mistake. ”
The people on the ground, two men and one woman, were the three scholars who came to the main hall with the Holy Maiden of Qianqiu to eavesdrop on the news, and the three people who fell next were the guests of the national religion, Feng Wuxi, Zhen Shifang, and Xiaoyaozi.
Sanshi looked at a few people coldly and remained silent.
Next to him, Feng Wuxian asked the Holy Maiden of Qianqiu: "Qianqiu, do you know who they are?" ”
The Qianqiu Holy Maiden endured for a long time before finally calming down the anger in her heart: "I naturally know who they are, the three dogs of the cult." It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the cult is a living person refining ghosts by them, and they betrayed the cult a few years ago and disappeared from the rivers and lakes, but they did not expect it to appear here now. Let me ask the three of you, are you sent by a cult? Or was it sent by the emperor? ”
The three soldiers looked at each other, sneered twice, and then closed their eyes, with an expression of life and death at will, never speaking.
Seeing them like this, Xiaoyaozi burst out laughing. Said to Zhen Shifang: "Old thing, old madman, make a bet?" Let's pick one person and see who gets them to speak first? ”
Zhen Shifang was very interested after hearing this, but Feng Wuxian shook his head: "I admit defeat, your methods were numb to the immortal master back then, otherwise you wouldn't have the reputation of an old bastard." I admit defeat, no need to compare, you still let them tell the truth as soon as possible. ”
Xiaoyaozi laughed and was no longer polite. He lifted one of them up from the ground, and then said coldly, "Look at me." ”
The man subconsciously looked at Xiaoyaozi with his eyes, and saw that Xiaoyaozi's eyes were as attractive as a whirlpool, and the person felt that the world was spinning at a glance. When the other two saw this person like this, they shouted, "Big brother! Then he crawled forward, trying to stop this.
But how could Feng Wuji and Zhen Shifang let them get their way, and the two of them kicked them aside.
Half an hour later, in the main hall of the state religion, the Holy Maiden of Qianqiu and the other three elders were sitting quietly. But the three soldiers disappeared without a trace, and it is not known whether they were killed or let go.
Xiaoyaozi twisted his beard and said, "It's really sent by the little emperor, it seems that this emperor is not dead." I want to explore the bottom of our immortals. ”
