King Xiang looked at the stage in the distance, and there was a cold glint in his eyes.

The head of the Wu family and the old lady of the Mu Zhe family were as calm as before, as if they hadn't heard anything.

Gou Hanshi looked at the cabbage and shook his head slightly, signaling him to be restless.

The vice president of Huaiyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and his face showed some surprise.

Characters like them had long expected that the palace would inevitably oppose Nanxi Zhai and Hezhai, and Chen Changsheng would inevitably stand up and speak.

Nanxi Zhai's two uncles were in too agitated moods, and they thought they knew Chen Changsheng's temperament very well, so they didn't expect this.

It's just that at this time, Nanxi Zhai's will has been unified, what can he do?

Chen Changsheng's approach is very simple.

When no one asked him, he answered himself.

His answer was two words.

"No, I can't. ”

Looking at this scene, Tang Thirty-six remembered the deck of cards in the old mansion in Wenshui City a few days ago, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

At that time, when Old Lady Tang said that he could kill Tang Thirty-six, Chen Changsheng also only said two words.

"No, I can't. ”

No matter then or now, Chen Changsheng's voice was very soft, but it was louder than tens of millions of people shouting in unison, as if thunder was falling from the sky.

Because he is His Majesty the Pope, what he says is an oracle that is followed by hundreds of millions of believers.

"They don't go to the Anglican Academy and the Imperial Palace. ”

Chen Changsheng pointed to the girls kneeling on the ground and said, "Because Nanxi Zhai will not fast, and this is the place where they live and cultivate." ”

Seeing that he spoke so strongly, Huaibi said angrily: "This is my Nanxi Zhai's fasting business, please don't interfere with it." ”

At all times, Huairen's expression was always so calm and gentle, even when it seemed that the fasting had become a foregone conclusion. Because she had already expected that Chen Changsheng would inevitably stand up, but she didn't expect Chen Changsheng's attitude to be so direct, even rude.

"Your Excellency, what I said to you last night is just a respect for your status, and it does not mean that your consent is required for the fasting of Nanxi Zhai. ”

Huairen looked at Chen Changsheng with a solemn expression and said, his voice was gentle but his attitude was very resolute.

The Virgin Peak originated from a split within the state church.

Since the first generation of saints founded Nanxi Zhai, the palace no longer has any say in Tiannan Daomen, let alone Nanxi Zhai's own affairs.

Even His Majesty the Pope is not qualified to manage the affairs of the Holy Maiden Peak.

This is history, and history that everyone must respect.

Hearing Huairen's words, many Tiannan cultivators on the peak cliff flat nodded their heads again and again, even Gou Hanshi felt that it was tricky, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

At this time, another person who no one expected stood up.

The vice president of the Huaiyuan Academy said with a smile: "The senior's words are wrong, you have traveled all over the world all these years, and you are not aware of the relationship between His Majesty the Pope and the Holy Maiden, but who in the entire continent does not know?

Hearing this, King Xiang frowned slightly, the old lady of the Mu Zhe family smiled silently, the head of the Wu family shook his head again and again, and the other cultivators looked a little strange.

Not to mention the marriage contract that caused a sensation in the mainland that year, only said that after the battle of Qiaoxue, there were rumors in Kyoto, saying that Chen Changsheng had a renewed affection for Xu Yourong and intended to renew the marriage contract, if the world thought it was Chen Changsheng's unilateral idea at that time, later at the Hanshan Boiling Stone Conference, Xu Yourong saved Chen Changsheng under Guan Baijian, and there were many people who witnessed it, not to mention that those things on the tens of thousands of miles from Hanshan to Kyoto had already been spread, if it wasn't for the subsequent change of Tianshuling, I am afraid that the entire continent would discuss this matter in those two years, and no one knows that Pope Chen Changsheng and the saint Xu Yourong are in love, is it a pair of Taoist couples made in heaven?

Listening to the slightly frivolous words of the vice president of Huaiyuan, his face was flushed with anger, his eyebrows were upside down, and he shouted: "Presumptuous! Who dares to ruin the reputation of the saint and ask me about the sword!"

The chatter on the cliff gradually subsided.

Huaibi held the Dao Sword in his hand, looked at Chen Changsheng and shouted, "Lord Pope, do you really want to force the old body to splash three feet of blood?"

Chen Changsheng asked rhetorically, "Is this threatening me?"

Even if it is King Xiang, the first power of the court who has advanced to the sacred realm has to take the initiative to ask for peace when he sees him, and he does not dare to be rude to him in front of so many people, let alone threaten, although she is a very high senior uncle and ancestor of Nanxi Zhai, how can she have such courage?

Huaibi was so angry that he couldn't get out of his sword, accompanied by a sword groan full of resentment, the sword intent came out of the sheath, cutting countless cracks in the bluestone around him.

In her frustration, she was almost injured internally, and Huai Shu hurriedly helped her to take away a pure true yuan to help her keep her Dao heart.

Huairen looked at Chen Changsheng's eyes and said: "The demon clan has temporarily retreated, Nanxi Zhai wants to join the fast, but he just wants to stay out of the matter, and he doesn't want to be used by some ambitious people.

"I didn't have time to answer these words when you said them last night, my answer was no. ”

Chen Changsheng looked at her and said, "Even if you agree to fast, it still won't work. Lenting and fasting are two different things, and if you are allowed to leave the fasting affairs to you for the time being, it does not mean that you are qualified to decide such a major event as the union, and all the disciples of Nanxi Zhai are not qualified to make decisions. ”

Then he looked at Huairen and Pingxuan and said, "Of course, it also includes you. ”

Huaibi sneered and said, "Then who is qualified? Could it be you, the Pope?"

Chen Changsheng said: "No, I am not qualified either, the only person who is qualified to decide to fast is Rong." ”

King Xiang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable, such a big matter, you should indeed ask the Holy Maiden to come out of the customs to make a decision." ”

Chen Changsheng's heart gave birth to a touch of vigilance.

Yesterday in front of the stone wall at the summit of the Holy Maiden's Peak, he vaguely felt that there was something wrong, and now it seemed that the problem was about to gradually become apparent.

Could it be that the imperial court and the master just wanted to forcibly interrupt Xu Yourong's retreat through this incident?

Everyone knows that if a retreat is forcibly interrupted, it can cause great harm, not to mention that she is now doing something that no one has ever tried before.

"No, I'll take care of it. ”

Chen Changsheng didn't give King Xiang any chance to play on the topic, he looked at Huairen and continued: "I know very well how important the Holy Maiden Peak is to her, and now that she is in retreat, she can't continue to take care of the Holy Maiden Peak and the disciples living here as she promised her teacher, then this matter should naturally be done by me." ”

A large part of Xu Yourong's retreat is for him, so of course he has to take on the responsibilities that should have been borne by her, such as guarding this mountain.

Huairen said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the rules of my Holy Maiden Peak should also be judged by you, Your Excellency the Pope?"

Chen Changsheng said: "The Holy Maiden Interpretation Monument, the Pope's Liberation of the Law, for countless years, it has been the same, or do you think that the Holy Maiden Peak is not a national religion?"

A moment ago, Huairen wanted to use the rules of history to make him back down, and at this moment he wanted to use the rules of history to make the other party have to accept his statement.

Although the Holy Maiden Peak is a southern sect, it is of course a state religion in the eyes of hundreds of millions of believers and disciples.

Don't say that these three uncles and ancestors of the Nanxi faction, even if the saints of the past dynasties came to life, they didn't dare to deny this.

Huairen was silent and stopped talking.

Seeing that the senior sister was like this, Huaibi became even more anxious, and shouted loudly: "At least we are not subordinates of the palace, why should we be under your jurisdiction?"

Thinking of Daozun's promise, she was so anxious that she even became rude to address it.

Chen Changsheng looked at her and said, "I am the Pope, and I understand the law, isn't the Holy Maiden Peak a part of the state religion?"

Again, the same question, repeated again, is even tougher.

Huaibi's forced Dao heart was unstable and extremely irritable, and he shouted: "Even if it's not, so what?"

Chen Changsheng looked into her eyes and said: "If the Holy Maiden Peak is not a national religion, what qualifications do you have to interpret the Heavenly Book Tablet? Tomorrow, I will order the world to make this matter clear, and then send the national religious cavalry to surround the Holy Maiden Peak, take away the rubbings of the Heavenly Book Tablet, and cut off the inheritance of Nanxi Zhai, so that you can know what the real Hezhai is." ”

Huairen's expression changed suddenly when he thought about last night's conversation.

She told Chen Changsheng that there are three kinds of fasting in Nanxi Zhai.

What Chen Changsheng said at this time was naturally the last one.

Nanxi Zhai broke off the inheritance, became one with the palace, and returned to the orthodoxy of the state religion!
