Chapter 676: Holy Qi Strange Man
Sheng Lingren failed because of his conspiracy to rebel and has been imprisoned in prison.
The temple was also taken advantage of the opportunity to be suppressed by the court, and its strength was greatly damaged.
However, after all, Sheng Lingren had been working for the court, and he had a close relationship with Dongchang, so he was not immediately punished.
However, all of this is still because of one person, who is interceding for Sheng Lingren. This person is not Dongchang Gongshi Zhong, but his righteous son Sheng inexplicable.
Of course, Shi Zhong also indirectly said a good thing for Sheng Lingren, after all, if Sheng Lingren told all the things about his collusion with Dongchang, Shi Zhong would also be in big trouble. It's just that Sheng Lingren was not beheaded, mainly because Sheng was inexplicable.
It is said that Sheng is inexplicable, and in the entire temple, it is actually very different. He likes to dress in flamboyant clothes, but he is cautious and low-key. He had a deep affection for Sheng Lingren's father and son, but he betrayed his father and took refuge in King Xiao at a critical moment. It was precisely because of his temporary backlash that King Xiao promised to keep his father from dying.
Otherwise, if Sheng Ling committed the crime of rebellion, it would definitely be a capital crime.
Sheng Lingren didn't expect that his favorite and most trusted son would betray him temporarily. But he didn't know that if it weren't for Sheng's inexplicability, he would have fallen to the ground long ago. Sheng Lingren originally hated Sheng for his inexplicable rebellion, but at the time of crisis, his own son Sheng Zhiqiang also laid a black hand behind his back. In this comparison, in fact, there is not much difference between parents and children.
In comparison, on the contrary, Sheng Moming is more upright, after all, in the matter of fighting against the court, Sheng Moming has always been opposed, and he has also argued with his father several times about this. Sheng Zhiqiang is different, he has always supported his father's decision at first, and actively planned to participate, has always obeyed his father's orders, sang praises of virtue, but when his father's general trend has gone, he suddenly poisoned him without warning. Sheng's inexplicable attitude has not changed, even if he told King Xiao the secret, Sheng Lingren recalled that it was actually reasonable.
is not with the same stream, and with the fall into the well, obviously the latter is even more hateful.
What is even more unexpected is that Sheng Zhiqiang not only secretly learned his holy qigong, but also inherited the position of the temple lord as the eldest son after Sheng Lingren was arrested. Originally, the ideal candidate for Sheng Ling was the more stable and mature Sheng Moming, but because Sheng Moming was not his biological son, this matter has not been possible.
Moreover, Sheng Zhiqiang is still in the prime of life, and it is not yet his son's turn to succeed to the throne. In short, by coincidence, Sheng Zhiqiang suddenly jumped from a nobody to the head of the four major families in the rivers and lakes. Young and frivolous, he has no name, but he has a huge force in his hands that can shake the foundation of the rivers and lakes. In such a situation, how can Sheng Zhiqiang not become ambitious. Although he secretly practiced his father's holy qigong, he was still far from the top masters of the other three families due to the lack of heat. Even compared with other major factions in the rivers and lakes, such as Shaolin, Wudang, Huashan, etc., he is still very tender. Although the current strength of the temple is not too weak, it has been greatly reduced after the martial arts conference. If Sheng Zhiqiang wants to make a difference in a short period of time, he must rely on external forces. Dongchang is also very closely watched by the emperor and King Xiao now, and it will not have much contact with the temple in the short term. The sea pirates became the only choice for the temple.
Sheng Zhiqiang believed that if they joined forces with the Fire Evil Sect and defeated the Xiao× Yao × Pavilion in one fell swoop, then the strength of their temple could expand to the south coast of the Yangtze River, and then he would be on a three-legged stand with the Tang Sect and the Poisonous Beast Gorge, and he would naturally become a martial arts tyrant. In time, after his holy qigong was completed, several old men from the Tang Sect and the Poison Beast Gorge died, and he became the number one person in martial arts.
People, after they have power, they have ambitions.
Where there is ambition, there is killing.
It's just that in all of Sheng Zhiqiang's plans, Sheng has always expressed his support, but he has not taken obvious actions.
In fact, Sheng's inexplicable situation is very embarrassing. On the one hand, he was a thorn in the side of the eldest brother, but after Sheng Zhiqiang's strength in the temple was greatly damaged, he didn't want to touch him for the time being, and he didn't believe him.
On the other hand, he originally took refuge in King Xiao, but after all, he was still a member of the temple, and after the temple rebelled, even if it was inexplicable, it would never be possible for him to gain the trust of the court again.
The reason why King Xiao used him was nothing more than to learn about the movements of many temples through him. is also like Sheng Zhiqiang, King Xiao also doesn't believe in him. It's not so much King Xiao as the entire royal family.
Sheng Ling rebelled, if it weren't for Sheng inexplicably having an appointment with King Xiao first, I'm afraid that the Sheng family would have been wiped out a long time ago. How could the royal family trust a rebellious son.
However, after Sheng Zhiqiang took over the temple, he was not indifferent. He first joined forces with Shen Lingyu, a jade-faced lady, to regain the forces of the temple and integrate the temple again. Then, with the help of Shen Lingyu, a jade-faced lady, the Holy Qigong was further improved. Holy Qigong was originally an internal qigong, and Shen Lingyu was good at using poison. So Shen Lingyu was whimsical and asked Sheng Zhiqiang to add poison to his strength. I don't want this whimsical method to really let Sheng Zhiqiang practice a miraculous skill - Holy Qi Poison Skill.
On that day, Xiao Yurong was first injected with holy qi poison by Sheng Zhiqiang, and then Li Yu and others did not know that there was a fraud when they performed their pranayama for her, so that she was corroded by the holy qi poison skill, so that it was difficult to recover from serious injuries.
Sheng Zhiqiang's victory in the first battle of the Holy Qi Poison Skill made him full of trust in this miraculous skill.
During the period when Sheng Zhiqiang left the capital, the affairs of the temple were handed over to his younger brother Sheng Mo. Sheng's inexplicable existence made Sheng Zhiqiang like a man, but Sheng Zhiqiang had to use him. Because in the entire temple, it is not as knowledgeable and strategic as Sheng.
However, Sheng Zhiqiang is sure of one thing, that is, he will at least not betray himself now. If Sheng inexplicably didn't want to be with him, he wouldn't have succumbed in the first place. Even if he agreed to do things for himself, then he will do his duty.
Good people are always so simple, but it's a pity that most people don't believe that there are good people in this world.
The idea of a good person is actually very simple, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is stupid, and the "goodness" of a good person is often used by bad people.
In Sheng Zhiqiang's view, his righteous brother is a usable, but not trustworthy person.
Because, after all, they are not the same people.
In the temple, Sheng is inexplicably a strange person, a strange existence.
Sometimes, Sheng Zhiqiang often thinks about why his father Sheng Lingren has always allowed Sheng Moming to be such a distracted alternative existence.
