Chapter 105: Bow to the wind
The golden body of the Great Ancestor seemed to have a compassionate gaze on the world, and he looked down at everyone quietly.
Xiao Chen glanced at Sandalwood, there was still about half an hour to go, he was not in a hurry, he didn't urge Fangzheng, he just stood with his hands in his hands, quietly staring at the golden body of the Great Ancestor in front of the hall, as if he was thinking about something.
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Fang Zheng, and everyone had a complicated look on their faces.
Dali Temple is the sect of Zen Taoism in the world, and Master Fangzheng is recognized by the world as a person who has attained the Tao, but now, is he going to lose to a eunuch?
"Master" Master Futai Cai reminded softly, "You said that you should save the world, I don't know, where did this come from, and I hope the master will make it clear?" ”
He said it impartially, neither as if he was defending Xiao Chen, nor would it be the same as falling into the trap when Fang Zheng was defeated, but it also served as a reminder.
thought that no matter what the result was, when the time came, in private, he would be able to sell Xiao Chen a favor.
On the side, Tan Xianling's eyes rolled, and he also took the opportunity to speak, his voice was gentle, "Yes, master, it's not early at this time, what is the way of the master, I hope to make it clear." ”
There were already different voices in the crowd, and it was obvious to everyone that Fang Zheng had no way to break Xiao Chen's theory.
Fangzheng's defeat seems to be certain, but how to lose the prestige of the Dali Temple and the posture of the first honor despite the defeat is a great problem.
The sadness in Fang Zheng's eyebrows deepened, and a desperate whiteness hung over his face silently.
The fingers that had been twisting the sandalwood beads had completely stopped, and they were only clutched tightly, and their palms were hidden under the sleeves of the wide gold silk ceremonial robes, thinking that no one could tell his emotions.
If he talks about it, he can also say one or two, but in the end it is not strong words and his posture is ugly; But if it is not regarded, how can the Dali Temple bear this consequence?
The sandalwood was still burning, time was passing, and there was a hint of determination in Fangzheng's extremely solemn eyes.
The reputation of Dali Temple belongs to Dali Temple, and if you end this game after the sandalwood burns out, you will completely lose your dignity and become a laughing stock in the rivers and lakes that you can't afford to lose!
"It seems that there is no other way."
Fang Zheng thought in his heart, gritted his teeth secretly, and put his last hope on his junior disciples.
However, several masters all dodged their eyes, and all of them were none of their business.
Fang Zheng's body staggered, and he closed his eyes in despair.
The sandalwood is exhausted, the floating incense is curling, immersed in a piece of Zen incense, Fang Zheng only feels that he has practiced for half his life, and his name has been ruined on Xiao Chen.
A heavy powerlessness and despair, with the eyes of everyone, gave him an ultimatum, he had no choice.
Fang Zheng took a deep breath, tried his best to recover a decent smile, opened his eyes and bowed to Xiao Chen, "Amitayus Buddha, Lord Xiao is high, old man, beyond reach." ”
As soon as this statement came out, it was equivalent to Fang Zheng officially admitting defeat to Xiao Chen!
At this moment, everyone held their breath.
They were amazed that a eunuch could win the master of the Dali Temple in the discourse, and they were sympathetic to the fall of the master of the Fangzheng generation.
However, more than that, it is still complicated.
A kind of complicated feeling for Xiao Chen, the governor of Dongchang, who can't accept all kinds of evil, can have such a thorough and profound opinion.
Cai Futai got up and arched his hand, clapped his hands and laughed broadly, "Wonderful, really wonderful!" ”
"Two wins in three games, so at this point, this discussion ceremony can only end here, oops, poor officials and a group of colleagues, fathers and villagers, haven't seen enough."
Chen Xian Ling also stood up, like a person, immediately played a round, and bowed his hand and said: "The Governor's demeanor today is really something that has never been seen in the life of the lower official, and the lower official is only an eye-opener!" ”
"There is also Master Fangzheng, who is worthy of being the first in Dali Temple, the Taoism is transparent, and the depth is shallow, especially your grace and humiliation, which is even more impressive to the official."
Several county orders and gentry also came up, all of whom had flattered Xiao Chen, and did not forget to compliment Fang Zheng during this period and thank him for the grand event held by the Dali Temple.
These people, especially the officials, even if they are in a place, they are still officials, so naturally they don't have to curry favor with Fangzheng, the reason why they also go down the steps of Fangzheng is actually to further sell Xiao Chen's face.
After all, I don't know what Xiao Chen's attitude towards Dali Temple is, so it's not good to make the scene ugly now.
Xiao Chen read through the thoughts of these people, and accepted their compliments lukewarmly, so he didn't want to waste any more time here.
"Now that the Treatise has ended, then Chief, isn't it time to do what you promised to the Governor?"
With a sneer, Xiao Chen stood with his hands in his hands, and a trace of majesty from the Sanpin Qincha had already appeared in his cold and calm face.
Everyone's compliments suddenly stopped, and they couldn't help but look at Xiao Chen a little nervously, not knowing if what Xiao Chen was going to do next would burn a fire on his body.
Several masters were already angry, both dissatisfied with losing face, and resentful of Xiao Chen's tricks, the anger in their eyes was like a knife, and there was no way to hide it at this moment.
Fang Jing rushed ahead of Fang Zheng, and said angrily in a deep voice: "Lord Xiao, your first-round argument is not a discussion at all!" That's obviously a strong word, and I can't count it. ”
"Why do you enjoy this victory with peace of mind now?"
Several other masters also accused Xiao Chen, saying that he was not worthy of competing with the head of the Dali Temple at all in order to win.
Xiao Chen glanced at these people, but just shook his head lightly, a touch of contempt was contained in his eyes, and he didn't even bother to look at them.
Wei Zhongxian strode forward angrily, pointed angrily at these people in front of him, and scolded, "You people who can't afford to lose!" If you are not as good as others, you blame others for being smart? ”
"It's not that the miscellaneous family is talking about you, in fact, it's talking about you straw bags who can only sell fame and reputation, not to mention the overseer of my family, who is rich and rich, even the miscellaneous family and me, can also beat you one or two!"
"You people's abilities are the same as the thing in you, you think you have it, but in fact you have never seen anything outside the sky, and you don't know that your thing is a fake trick that you don't like!"
"You!"
Several masters were so angry with Wei Zhongxian that they had already clenched their fists as they spoke, wanting to make a move.
But the people and officials were still there, and they were afraid of one or two, so they could only blush with anger and glare.
Xiao Chen smiled, raised his chin slightly, and motioned for Wei Zhongxian to come back, "Zhongxian, what did this inspector teach you?" ”
"Have a bearing in your chest, and don't talk to the duckweed of heaven and earth."
"You see Master Founder, he can afford to take it and put it down, and he will not lose his life because of winning or losing for a while, this is the one with great wisdom. Isn't it? ”
Xiao Chen smiled easily, and the threatening murderous aura in his eyes was covered by the slight crescent moon that was bent by his good temper, and he instantly put Fang Zheng on the high platform, making him unable to get down even if he wanted to.
