Li Longji has always liked to judge people by their appearance, but when he saw Mu Zixuan's handsome face, he was full of energy, and he immediately admired it in his heart, and said with a smile: "What a handsome young man, you are Mu Zixuan, the new Lingtai Lang of Si Tiantai?"

"It's Your Majesty. Mu Zixuan replied.

"Si Tiantai changed such a young hero to serve as Lingtai Lang, and no one in the official department told me, it was really a dereliction of duty, and I will punish them for their crimes!" Li Longji feigned anger

"The ministers and the little officials, whether they are in office or away, why do you need to alarm Your Majesty?"

"Okay, don't be modest, as a person of heaven, being willing to serve in the court is already to give me face, who dares to treat you as a seven-grade official?"

Zhang Shouqi was confused, but when he heard this, he suddenly realized, it turned out that this person was a cultivator, no wonder he could be neither humble nor arrogant in the face of the emperor.

But seeing the emperor get up, he put his arm on Mu Zixuan's shoulder affectionately, and said, "By the way, it's the first time for the two Qing families to meet, and I should also introduce you to you." ”

Mu Zixuan preemptively said: "His Majesty He Lao introduced, see that this general is not angry and arrogant, his bearing is steady, the red light between his eyebrows is shrouded, with an invincible aura, it must be Fang Da to break the enemy chieftain, and return victoriously, although there are many generals under His Majesty's command, but those who can have this momentum, except for Zhang Gong, the envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, do not think of the second person!"

Zhang Shouqi has been an official for many years, so naturally he will not treat the person in front of him as a small official, and he has won a few awards. Seeing that the two of them got along well, Li Longji said to Zhang Shouqi: "Zhang Qing, since Brother Ling is a person of the Heavenly Dao, I don't have to hide it from you, this Tiantai of mine was founded by the request of Master Yuan Tiangang Yuan, and what it is in charge of is not the heaven above the head, but the heaven of the Heavenly Dao, what immortals, Buddhas and demons, but whoever enters the realm of my imperial city, must be supervised by them, and my Luoyang City has not been turned upside down until now, all with the power of Mu Qing." ”

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the Imperial City is naturally blessed by the Mandate of Heaven, Weichen just goes with the sky, how dare he take credit?" Mu Zixuan was highly praised, but he was not happy, but still responded with an indifferent smile.

When the emperor heard this, he changed his words and said: "In this case, if someone goes against the sky, kills the national teacher of the dynasty, and insults the dignity of my royal family, what should I do?"

"National teacher, is Sima Zhenren, what's wrong with him?" Mu Zixuan pretended not to know, and pretended to be surprised.

"See for yourself. Li Longji handed over the chapter, Mu Zixuan read it at a glance and ten lines, and sighed for a long time: "Sima Zhenren, as the leader of the Daomen, has a good reputation in the world, and the lower officials have long wanted to meet the real person and ask him for advice, but he didn't expect that before he found the opportunity, he would be separated forever from heaven and man." ”

Then he said with a sharp look in his eyes: "With Sima Zhenren's peerless cultivation, if it weren't for the traitorous behavior, no one would be able to kill him in Shangqingguan, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how could he allow Xiao Xiao to run rampant, and the ministers will find out the real murderer and pay tribute to Sima Zhenren's heroic soul!"

Mu Zixuan's words were impassioned, and Li Longji was also proud, and said: "Okay, since this is the case, I will teach you to investigate this matter, Sima Zhenren has taught me a lot, and he must not be allowed to die blindly!"

At this moment, another chamberlain invited in, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the Taoist chief of the Shangqing faction has surrounded the White Horse Temple, and now it's going to be a fight!"

"Quack!" "In the hall of nourishing the heart, a toad is jumping and singing on a messy ground, this toad is no more than the size of an ordinary person's thumb, the whole body is green and verdant, as if carved from jade, a pair of big eyes are shining with golden light, looking at everyone drippingly, not like an ordinary toad who ignores still life, but jumps for a while, except for the louder and louder cries, there is nothing special.

Ying Feiyang already knew that this toad was called a green jade toad, and he liked to eat poison the most, if the poison was nearby, the whole body would turn red, and the toad jumped around the hall, and jumped on the corpse of Sima Chengzhen on the ground, the color of the body still did not change, Zhang Shouzhi shook his head, opened a jade box, and put the toad into it and said: "There is no poison in the hall, and there is no sign of poisoning on the master's body." ”

"The inside of the temple and the surroundings have been investigated, and there are no suspicious signs, and they have been asked by other disciples, no one has ever seen the master go out, and there is no sign of poisoning on the master, so it seems that there is only one last possibility left. Princess Yuzhen glanced at everyone in the venue unscrupulously, and said coldly.

Zhang Shouzhi seemed quite uncomfortable, sighed and said: "Princess, put away your gaze, we don't have to hide it anymore, speaking of which, the three of us senior brothers are the most unlikely to kill the master." ”

Princess Yuzhen raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, how can you see it?"

Zhang Shouzhi hesitated: "Actually, the princess may not know, the master is ...... He was seriously injured twenty years ago, and he was left with the root of the disease, and since then he has not made any progress in cultivation, otherwise with the ability of the master, he may not lose to the 'one saint, two shows, three peaks'. In addition, it is even more detrimental to Shouyuan, according to the master's own estimates, the shortest three months, the longest two years, he will definitely die, these things our brothers and sisters know, don't say that the teacher's kindness is like a mountain, we can never harm the master, say something unpleasant, even if there is really a deep hatred, how can we not get along with the dying person?"

"What?" As soon as these words came out, Ying Feiyang and Princess Yuzhen exclaimed at the same time, in Ying Feiyang's opinion, Sima Chengzhen's face was crystal clear, and his spirit was grabbing, how could he have the appearance of a person who was about to die, and Princess Yuzhen was even more surprised, her face was condensed, if she was covered with a layer of frost, she said coldly: "Called senior brother and sister, it turns out that I don't know?

Sun Changji sneered: "It's you who hide it, if you are just my junior sister, we will naturally not hide it, but when you joined my Shangqing faction, you just wanted to be comfortable without marrying people, and after joining the faction, you never forgot your identity as a princess, since you are a royal person, don't blame us for hiding from you." Then, Sun Changji didn't wait for Princess Yuzhen to respond, so he said to Zhang Shouzhi again: "Second senior brother, don't be so quick to get clean, people's hearts are unpredictable, sometimes, the more the other party's life is short, the more you have to hurry up and kill him, you are also a person who has experienced the world, is it not clear? According to me, it is possible for several of us!"

"Okay!" Du Ruyu said angrily: "If you want to doubt, don't doubt your own people, don't forget, there were two people in the view yesterday, and the master died, which is the most beneficial for them." ”

"It's Master Kuming and Duanfa Monk. Ying Feiyang immediately understood who Du Ruzhi was referring to, Sima Chengzhen's death was the most beneficial to Buddhism, and he was nailed to the plaque given by the emperor after his death, which can be described as a great blow to the prestige of Taoism.

If Master Kuming went to Sima Zhenren at night to talk with candles and nights, with his prestige and statement, although the competition between Buddhism and Taoism was fierce, it was difficult for people to believe that he would kill people, in other words, it meant that if he really wanted to kill people, Sima Chengzhen would be unpredictable.

"That's right, with all that said, it's better to find them first. Zhang Shouzhi said, took the lead in the front hall, pulled over a little Taoist priest called Daozhen, and asked, "Daozhen, the master asked you, have those two monks ever been here?"

Dao Zhen looked around and said: "I've come, they said that they had agreed with the ancestor in front of the palace, but they didn't see the ancestor coming, so they came to find the ancestor, but the master told me that you can't let anyone into the backyard, especially the two monks, so I stopped them?"

"And what about them now?"

"I said according to what the master said, saying that the master suddenly fell ill and was sick in bed, and he couldn't ** today, they said that since the master was in poor health, then the Fa should be done on other days, so he left Shangqingguan. ”

"Left?" Several people showed doubts on their faces at the same time, those two monks came aggressively yesterday because of Lu Zhixuan's big trouble in Dafuxian Temple, obviously to make a big fuss about this matter. How could it be that today, because of the words of a disciple of three generations, he left so easily without even seeing Sima Chengzhen's face.

There must be something strange at this time!
