Volume 1 Qingxuan Youdao 71. The man behind it

On the second day, when the sky was just bright, some people went to the county guard yamen to report the case. Yesterday night, lightning struck the Tianlong Temple in the city, and the temple was a piece of scorched earth at this time.

Yesterday night, Wang Yuanming, the county guard, also heard thunder, and after seeing someone reporting the case, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to bring people to check. At the same time as instructing people, he also reported the matter to Dali Temple and Honglu Temple.

Dali Temple is in charge of serious cases, and Honglu Temple is in charge of foreign affairs. Master Huineng in Tianlong Temple is superb in Buddhism, and he is a foreigner who came from Tianzhu a few years ago.

After the investigation of the imperial court officials, most of the many monks in the temple have been killed by the thunder and lightning strikes. Only Master Huineng, the first senior monk in the temple, and the host of the temple do not know their whereabouts, and their lives and deaths are unknown.

Soon after the lightning strike in Tianlong Temple, rumors of "rebels and misdeeds, thunder warnings" began to spread in Jiankang City. After the government arrested many people, not only did it not extinguish the rumors, but almost provoked a popular uprising.

When the situation intensified, all the ministers of the court and the central government went to the table one after another, asking the emperor to burn the table to reach the heavens, in order to seek peace and tranquility in the Jin country. Sima Dezong couldn't shirk it, so he could only agree.

This matter has a lot of implications, including sacrifices, rituals, chariots and horses, and so on. Following the two temples of Dali and Honglu, the three temples of Taichang, Guanglu and Taifu were also mobilized.

The Tianlong Temple Tianlei incident caused the five most powerful departments of the imperial court to respond. The "Five Temples Heavenly Thunder" shocked the government and the opposition, and the news spread to the surrounding area for a while.

But in the past few days, more alarming news has come out. On the day of the sacrifice, Emperor Sima Dezong of the Jin Dynasty was suddenly ill and could not make the trip, so he could only entrust Liu Yu, the Duke of Song, to burn the sacrifice on his behalf.

There are many differences between the specifications of the Son of Heaven and the Prince, but due to the suddenness of the incident, it is too late to re-prepare. The ministers of the court persuaded one after another, for the sake of the peace of the Jin Kingdom, to invite the Duke of Song to enjoy the treatment of the Son of Heaven and go to the sacrifice.

Liu Yu was rejected by everyone after he shirked many times, and the ministers persuaded him many times. In the end, under the "helplessness", he reluctantly agreed.

The courtiers enjoy the gift of the Son of Heaven, and the servants sit in the master's seat, although the folk song of "Sima Bang, Liu Songxing" was widely known before, but it was still a little hidden at that time. At this time, there is no cover-up, and the appearance of the demise of the Jin Kingdom has appeared.

When the thunder in Jiankang City was raised, Sun Wuxian had already arrived within the boundaries of Sizhou. Sizhou borders the Wei state, and if it is pursued again, it can cross the border and take refuge in the north.

Outside Qingxuan Mountain, when the demon clan was scattered and fled, Sun Wuxian was also separated from Zhitong and others. The separation was intentional on his part, and there were some things he still had to do, and he couldn't return to Jiankang with Zhitong.

When he fled, he had met a master of the Shangqing lineage. But when he was about to make a move, one of them identified Sun Wuxian as a fellow disciple who had been invited to fight the demon clan together.

Doubts were raised, but the person who identified him was of high status and ignored them. In addition, Sun Wuxian wore the clothes of the Qing Dao system, and finally escaped with difficulty.

After staying in Sizhou for a few days, and after making sure that no one was following him, he went to a restaurant and sat down. After a while, the guys in the store brought out wheat cakes and rice porridge to eat, and Sun Wuxian broke the wheat cakes one by one, and saw a piece of linen embedded in the center of one of them.

He did not leave immediately after receiving the things he wanted, but still slowly finished eating the food on the table. The people's strength is difficult, the food is not easy, and he does not want to waste it.

There were small letters written on the linen tablets, and after walking for a few more hours, there was no road ahead. Sun Wuxian still didn't stop, and walked straight forward. After a cloud of clouds, he was gone.

On the other side of the vehes is a courtyard.

He had been here a few times before, and this time he was familiar with the road, and walked to a certain house, and entered without closing the door. There was only one place in the room for people to sit, and when he entered, he did not sit there, but stood aside and waited.

Not long after, another man entered the house, and the door closed by itself. The person was wearing a mask, and when he entered, he sat down directly.

"Why did it go wrong?" After a long silence between the two sides, the masked man asked first.

"It happened suddenly, and the demon clan, the monks of Tianlong Temple, and I are all at fault. Sun Wuxian hurriedly replied. Things have come to an end, and there is no point in dwelling on why it went wrong. His original intention in replying was to know what the punishment would be.

"How much good did he promise you?" the masked man gripped at him, still wondering why his previous plan had gone into trouble.

"Huh?" Sun Wuxian didn't understand, and was stunned.

"There is my eyeliner in the Song Mansion. "The masked man exits the reminder.

The Duke of Song of the Jin Kingdom was Liu Yu, and the siege of Qingxuan Mountain was made by Sima Wenzhi. After the masked man reminded him, Sun Wuxian knew that this person already knew the ins and outs.

Liu Gong promised that after ascending to the throne, he would give many officials and property. Sun Wuxian knew that it was useless to conceal it, so he told the truth after thinking about it.

This person's cultivation and ability are all excellent, and everything he asks is known. The reason why I asked the question was just to let him say it himself.

"What's the use of you being alone, wanting more than one official?" the masked man knew most of what had happened, but in Liu Yu's promise to Sun Wuxi, he didn't understand this.

"I was on the shore on the day my father and brother fell, but unlike the two of them, I was later rescued by my friends and survived. Sun Wuxian opened his mouth to explain, and looked at the masked man after speaking.

Through the mask, the person can be seen squinting and listening. Sun Wuxian paused for a moment, and he didn't urge.

"Most of the people who escorted me out were slaughtered on the way. Many of these people are married and have children, and after the death of their relatives, they have no food and clothing, and they need to rely on the big trees to survive in the troubled times. After the pause, Sun Wuxian continued to explain.

"You're more affectionate. The masked man's tone softened slightly, he already knew why Sun Wuxian had caused more trouble.

"However, if the things I explain to you can be done well, it will not be difficult to give you an immortal position. If you become an immortal, you can make them ascend to heaven, so why bother to ask for help from an ordinary man who will not live long. Although he agreed with what Sun Wuxian said, the masked man still scoffed at his practice of sacrificing the basics.

"I don't want to be in the immortal class, I try my best to do things, I just ask you not to forget the things you promised me. "The number of masked people fell, Sun Wuxian didn't care, just emphasized that he didn't forget the promise.

"Since this matter has been agreed, it will naturally be handled for you. It's just that there's one more thing I don't know, can you answer me?" Sun Wuxian mentioned something, and the masked man agreed again. After you say yes, ask again.

"Senior, what's the matter?" Sun Wuxian asked for help, and his tone became more and more respectful.

"For the resurrection of your father and brother, you are willing to be sent by me to put yourself at risk. In order to support your friends and families, you accepted the promises of the rebels against your will. And I don't value the opportunity to become an immortal. Sun Wuxian, when will you be able to live for yourself once?" the masked man said slowly.
