After attending the palace banquet, it was already night when I left the palace.

This time he entered the palace to face the saint, which was somewhat unexpected to him.

He used to be just the secretary of the south town, to put it bluntly, he was the acting town envoy, and if there was a suitable candidate, he could be replaced at any time.

Now it is completely confirmed that this position is confirmed.

The rest of the rewards are less important than that.

He has four houses in Beijing, and it is estimated that they are all covered with ashes.

Jin Wu Qianwei was one of the emperor's personal guards and was responsible for guarding the imperial palace.

However, he is only a commander and a fellow intellectual, and there is a commander above, which seems to be a false position.

After all, Jin Wuwei is not familiar with him, and there are no other people among them, if you want to get involved, it must not be a simple matter.

Not long after, Lin Mang rushed back to Beizhen Fusi.

In the Fusi of Beizhen, a group of brocade guards are still busy, counting all kinds of exercise cheats and counting assets.

Lin Mang asked a few words casually and returned to the lobby.

As early as when he left Jiangnan, he converted all six million taels into energy points.

It was Zhang Shicheng's treasure that was sent to the palace, and the private property of Jiangnan officials that was seized needed to be counted and sent to the state treasury.

After briefly dealing with official business for a while, Lin Mang went to rest.

……

meanwhile

Inside the palace,

Zhu Yijun looked at the boxes of gold and silver transported into the private treasury, and his face was full of smiles.

What was once an empty private treasury is now much fuller.

With money, you can naturally do a lot of things you want to do.

For example, expand your mausoleum or build another manor.

He had thought of many things he wanted to do.

At this time, a eunuch bowed down and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, the whole count has been completed, and it is consistent with the number reported." ”

Zhu Yijun bowed slightly, and said with satisfaction: "Lin Aiqing has done a good job. ”

"If these courtiers can be like Lin Aiqing, I won't have a headache every day."

Cao Zhengchun stood behind him, looked at the gold and silver transported into the private treasury, and said with a meaningful smile: "Holy Lord, this batch of treasures is really huge. ”

"It's just that the old minister is looking at it, and he is a little moved."

"Lin Zhen's envoy was able to remain unmoved, and the old minister admired it."

Cao Zhengchun smiled.

seems to be praising Lin Mang, but there is a deep meaning between the words.

There are some words that can only be understood, not expressed.

Hearing this, the smile on Zhu Yijun's face gradually disappeared, his eyes narrowed slightly, he turned his head to look at Cao Zhengchun, and said with interest: "You want to say that these are not all?" ”

Cao Zhengchun hurriedly knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "The minister doesn't dare to say anything!" ”

"Your Majesty forgives you."

"The minister has no such intention."

Zhu Yijun glanced at Cao Zhengchun and said lightly: "Get up." ”

"I forgive you for your innocence."

But the next words shocked Cao Zhengchun's heart.

Zhu Yijun chuckled, looked ahead, and said calmly: "I believe him!" ”

A simple sentence made Cao Zhengchun deeply worried in his heart.

What could be more valuable than the emperor's trust.

If this continues, the prestige and authority of Jinyiwei will be even higher.

In fact, Cao Zhengchun didn't say anything.

Based on his intuition, he felt that this Lin Zhen envoy did not look like a loyal man.

It's just that the saint is obviously in a good mood at the moment, if he says it, he will make trouble for himself, and maybe he will trust Lin Mango more.

He knew very well that the person in front of him had some rebellious temperament in his bones.

But......

Cao Zhengchun smiled imperceptibly.

The thorn has been buried, and it will be difficult to pull it out.

Zhu Yijun slowly retracted his gaze and ordered: "Tomorrow the dynasty will be suspended, let the cabinet deal with something." ”

"In addition, all about this matter are silent!"

If what he expected was right, tomorrow the courtiers should make a big recommendation.

Maybe he will fight the idea of his own treasure.

The group of imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate should make the same statement, and even let Lin Mang be dismissed.

Every day is nothing more than that set of rhetoric

Out of sight is pure!

He had to think about how he was going to spend the money.

……

early morning

The sound of birdsong in the treetops broke the silence in the Fuji of Kitazhen.

Lin Mang held a bowl of wontons and walked towards the lobby while eating.

"Lin Zhen Fu Envoy!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded in my ears out of thin air.

Lin Mang turned his head to look, but it was Yuan Changqing leaning against the door, looking at him with a smile.

"Lord Yuan!"

Lin Mang greeted and said in surprise: "Lord Yuan is looking for me, do you have something important?" ”

"Nope." Yuan Changqing shook his head with a smile and said, "I just came to talk to you." ”

"Lord Yuan, please."

Lin Mang stretched out his hand to signal.

The two walked into the lobby, Yuan Changqing looked at Lin Mang, and said meaningfully: "How about the trip to Jiangnan this time?" ”

"Tired."

Lin Mang replied simply, and then took the wonton and ate it.

Then he glanced up at Yuan Changqing and said with a smile: "Lord Yuan is not here just to ask this, right?" ”

Yuan Changqing smiled and said, "Before today's court meeting starts, hundreds of officials are already waiting outside the palace gate. ”

"I guess the impeachment of you can be piled up in the cabinet now."

"I admire you for being so leisurely."

The news of Nanjing City has long been transmitted to the capital.

Don't look at the group of officials in Nanjing who are going to retire, but which one has no support behind them, and which one is not a part of the huge interest group.

Jiangnan is rich, and many officials have sent money to officials in Beijing.

Much of Jiangnan's private property is related to officials in Beijing.

Now not only is Jinyiwei investigated, but a large number of Jiangnan officials have been moved, which has directly affected their actual interests.

If it weren't for Lin Mang's special identity, that group of people would have made him a part of the mass grave.

Lin Mang put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and said unconcernedly: "Anyway, it's not once or twice." ”

"Scold and scold, one day they will all shut up."

Lao Tzu just sent nearly eight million taels, and the emperor left him to eat, and no matter how much impeachment he had, it would be useless.

Yuan Changqing smiled and shook his head, unable to help laughing.

Also, this guy is better at making trouble than Lao Cheng.

Thinking of this, Yuan Changqing couldn't help but sigh, and he didn't know where that guy had gone now.

He always felt that Cheng Hongnian's departure was not so simple.

God mysterious.

That guy is now hidden in the shadows, and no one knows what he's doing.

If Cheng Hongnian was like Lin Mang, maybe he wouldn't have left.

That guy is just too well-behaved, too rigid.

In his heart, the law and the rules are more important than anything else.

It's too tiring to live.

Yuan Changqing took a sip of the tea on the table, changed his words, and said, "You are too impulsive about Shaolin." ”

"The background of Shaolin is not as simple as you think."

"Do you remember the ice coffin on the ninth floor of the vault?"

Lin Mang's expression moved, and he looked at Yuan Changqing in surprise.

Yuan Changqing glanced at Lin Mang deeply, and said lightly: "One and two Buddhas, it's not as simple as saying it. ”

"If the rivers and lakes were just like this, the court would have leveled them a long time ago."

"At the beginning, the six doors were in charge of the rivers and lakes, but now the power of the six doors is not as good as before, and many of the six doors have already entered the various government offices."

"Do you really think it's the incompetence of the six doors?"

Yuan Changqing put down the teacup and said seriously: "The Great Grandmaster is also known as the realm of heaven and man, what is heaven and man, is to communicate heaven and earth with manpower. ”

"This realm is very mysterious."

"On the rivers and lakes, the longest-living grandmaster is only one hundred and twenty-two years old."

"Although the grandmaster is strong, he has lived a little longer than ordinary people."

"Since the beginning of the Grandmaster's Five Realms Yuan Shen Realm, he has actually been able to communicate with the power of heaven and earth, but it is very weak, and there are very few people who can do it."

"And the realm of enlightenment is to understand heaven and earth, to understand one's own meaning, and to strengthen one's connection with heaven and earth."

"I'm sure you've seen a lot of enlightenment realms, and you understand how big the gap is between them, right?"

Lin Mang bowed slightly.

He did feel this very deeply.

The blood trail is thousands of miles away, and the sword evil palace is nine, these people are the best among them.

Otherwise, the two would not have fled from him.

In comparison, the rest of the Enlightenment Realms were much weaker, not even above one level.

Yuan Changqing glanced at Lin Mang, and said in a deep voice: "But the realm of heaven and man is different, this is the real power of heaven and earth, one thought leads to heaven and thunder, one thought intercepts the river, in a sense, they have mastered the power of heaven and earth, non-human beings at all, and the life span of heaven and man realm is far longer than ordinary people." ”

As he spoke, Yuan Changqing took out something from his arms.

"This is a treasured secret, you can take a look."

Lin Mang took it and glanced at it, his pupils shrank sharply, and he exclaimed, "This ......"

Yuan Changqing smiled: "I'm surprised." ”

"Back then, Taizu Dingding Jiangshan, the great master of Mongolia, Bi Xuan, went to the battlefield in person, and buried tens of thousands of elite soldiers in World War I.

"But this man lived one hundred and eighty-three years."

"And this is by no means the upper limit of the life span of the great grandmaster, Wudang Mountain Zhang Zhenren has lived from the beginning of the founding of the country to the present."

Yuan Changqing turned his head to look at Lin Mang, and said with interest: "Do you still think Shaolin is simple now?" ”

Lin Mang smacked his tongue secretly.

He really didn't know much about it.

I thought it was chaos in this world, but who would have thought that person would have survived until now.

It seems that Wudang Mountain can rise later, and it is not unreasonable that no one dares to provoke it.

I don't know how strong Wudang should be.

Yuan Changqing got up and said with a smile: "If you have time to go to the secret vault to see some records and things left by your predecessors, I believe it will be useful to you." ”

As soon as Lin Mang returned to the Zhenfu Division this time, he realized that this guy had reached the Sixth Realm of the Grandmaster.

Yuan Changqing glanced back at Lin Mang and sighed secretly.

Damn it!

Is this guy still a normal person?

Even if he once boasted of being a genius who had not been born in the rivers and lakes for a hundred years, he was ashamed to compare with this guy.

I came here today to remind Lin Mang.

Sometimes, it's not a good thing to improve too quickly.

He was afraid that Lin Mang would be anxious for a while, and he would break through rashly, and it would be too late to regret it.

Seeing Yuan Changqing get up and leave, Lin Mang thought for a moment and got up to go to the secret vault.

Yuan Changqing's words reminded him.

In addition to the martial arts cheats, there are also many predecessors' cultivation experiences, as well as a large number of ancient books.

It's just that these things are generally piled up in the corners and dusty, and few people pay attention to them.

All the way to the secret vault, Lin Mang did not go directly to the eighth layer, but flipped through the layers layer by layer.

It just so happens that I have been free recently, so it doesn't hurt to take the opportunity to learn more.

Time passed quietly.

The first few floors barely wasted time, and soon the eighth floor was reached.

Lin Mang arched his hand at the old Taoist priest in the corner, and walked towards the corner.

This goodbye, thanks to the refinement of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Dafa, he had a more intuitive feeling for this old Taoist.

Grandmaster of the Six Realms!

It's just that in this realm, I'm afraid that he has thrown off ordinary people.

Around it, the fluctuations of the power of heaven and earth can be clearly perceived.

Coming to the corner, turning out the ancient books, Lin Mang sat down cross-legged and studied carefully.

The old Taoist priest slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Lin Mang imperceptibly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He stared at Lin Mang for a while, then let out a long sigh, his eyes flickering.

"I haven't walked in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and today's young people are entering the country so quickly?"

The old Taoist priest muttered to himself, shook his head helplessly, and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.

I almost messed up my Dao heart.

……

South Shaolin,

Under the Demon Suppression Tower,

Meditating cross-legged, Yin suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

The next moment, the Buddha in the Demon Suppression Tower shined brightly

Heaven and earth vitality surged from all directions, forming a huge cloud of vitality in the sky at the top of the tower.

A majestic momentum emanated from the Demon Suppression Tower, overwhelming all directions.

Suddenly, it swept away in all directions.

The so-called Demon Suppression Tower imprisons the evil demons on the rivers and lakes, as well as many demon cults and demon people.

Nominally, Shaolin wants to cross these people, but as for the real situation, few people are actually clear.

A very intimidating aura spread in all directions.

Gradually, the clouds and mist in the sky seemed to be covered with a layer of brilliant golden veil, slowly reflecting a four-armed Vajra Arhat, not angry and arrogant.

"Poof! Poop! ”

The ancient bell rings in Shaolin.

The entire Shaolin Temple was instantly sensational, and everyone raised their heads one after another, looking at the Yuan Shen Dharma in the sky.

"Amitabha~"

Everyone clasped their hands together and recited the Buddha's name.

There are even monks kneeling on the ground and kowtowing excitedly in the direction of the Demon Suppression Tower.

In the Scripture Pavilion, Xuanming, the last abbot of Shaolin, opened his eyes.

A wave of qi is born out of thin air.

Everything in the room suddenly floated up, and soon fell quietly.

"Amitabha~" Xuan Ming recited the Buddha's name lightly and said with a smile: "I am fortunate in Shaolin." ”

……

The heavy stone door slowly opened.

An old monk in a robe with a kind face stepped forward.

His clothes were very simple, wearing a hundred clothes, very simple.

The pace seems slow, but one step is already in front of the cause.

"Senior brother!"

Li Yin said excitedly: "Senior brother, you are finally out of the customs." ”

But soon, he choked up with tears streaming down his face and said, "Uncle Xuanbei has passed away." ”

"The dust is gone, and the fate is gone."

He frowned slightly, a trace of sadness appeared on his face, and he said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Xuanbei is ...... him."

Xuan Bei received many apprentices in his life.

When he was young, he traveled all over the world, adopted some orphans, and brought them back to the Shaolin Temple.

Some of them were talented and became Shaolin disciples, while some of them were less talented and eventually left Shaolin.

The end was brought back by Xuan Bei from the mass grave.

It's just that the talent is too good, and Xuan Bei was also young at the beginning, Xuan Bei thought that he couldn't teach, so he entrusted it to the head of the Dharma Hall at that time.

But after all, the end was brought back by Xuan Bei, and after entering Shaolin, Xuan Bei also took care of him.

Although there is no name of master and apprentice, there is the reality of master and apprentice.

Li Yin said angrily: "Uncle Xuanbei died at the hands of Lin Mang, the envoy of Jinyi Guard. ”

"Senior Brother Lichen, Senior Brother Liyuan all died at his hands."

"He even led troops to kill many of my Shaolin disciples."

Because of the anger on his face, he told everything about the matter.

Killing people is not too much, in his opinion, Lin Mang's move is clearly insulting Shaolin.

Dignified Shaolin, when was it forcibly broken through!

Even the contemporary abbot of Shaolin was beheaded in front of the mountain gate.

Now on the entire rivers and lakes, Shaolin has almost become the laughing stock of the people in the rivers and lakes.

On the contrary, it was Lin Mang who became famous through this incident, but Shaolin became his stepping stone.

It's just that he doesn't practice enough, and he is not the butcher's opponent.

"Amitabha!" The end sighed lightly, looked at the cause, and said in a low voice: "Senior brother, you have broken the vows." ”

"Senior brother ......" because of the unwillingness on his face, he raised his eyes to look at the end and asked, "Is that all there is?" ”

"Uncle Xuanming said so, senior brother, are you the same?"

"Won't they take revenge?"

Yu Yu looked up in the direction of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, and said calmly: "Master Xuanming's consideration is not wrong, he has to consider the overall situation of Shaolin, when will he repay his grievances." ”

"Senior brother ......" was stunned and clenched his fists.

He was not reconciled!

At this moment, a hand fell on his shoulder, and he patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "But I am not a Buddha after all." ”

"When is the time for retribution?"

"Uncle Xuanbei is dead, if Shaolin doesn't even dare to ask for an explanation, how can Uncle Xuan be willing to go to Elysium."

"This is not the Shaolin in my heart!"

Cause stared at the end with a look of surprise on his face.

"Senior brother, this matter will end up with me."

"Whatever the outcome, this feud will be over."

Jie gently turned the Buddhist beads in his hand, looked in the direction of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and said calmly: "Uncle Shi, from today onwards, I will leave Shaolin and remove the end from Shaolin." ”

"Alas......"

A light sigh came from the Scripture Pavilion, and the old voice came slowly: "Have you thought about it?" ”

"It's over, you've just stepped into this realm, so why bother."

"This trip to the capital, the danger is unknown."

He really didn't want to end it, so he took the risk.

The other party is Jinyiwei, with a special identity, and he is in the capital, even if he can kill Lin Mang, how can the court allow the end to leave alive.

Jie Yu smiled: "Jie understands." ”

"But if you don't go, you'll end the demons."

"Uncle Xuanbei is the master who has ended, and Uncle Xuan doesn't need to persuade him anymore."

"I'm going to end here, just to talk about it."

"Amitabha Buddha ......"

There was a chanting sound in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and then, the sound of chanting one after another sounded one after another.

Accompanied by the sound of wooden fish tapping.

"Good!"

He put one hand on his chest, turned around and bowed to the Buddha hall, and turned to walk towards the outside of the temple.

The monks sat cross-legged and gently tapped the wooden fish.

The continuous sound of prayer resounded throughout the mountain.

With tears in his eyes, he looked at the figure that was gradually moving away, and slowly knelt on the ground.

As the end went away, on the Shaolin stone steps, golden lotuses bloomed all over.

In the void, there seemed to be a huge Buddha sound coming out.
