The night is quieter, and the autumn dew is condensed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The top of Yanqiu Mountain is brightly lit, the bells are ethereal and melodious, many portals of Ganquan Palace are opened one after another, a team of red-clothed palace warriors wearing hideous iron masks and holding torches are riding on horses, and they come out from the palace gate, and then they are divided into two, arranged on both sides of the palace gate, solemn and quiet, and there is no trace of noise.

A quaint bronze chariot pulled by five Xihe white dragon horses slowly drove out, and the emperor who drove was wearing a big red dragon and tiger striped robe, wearing a jade leaf crown, and his face was covered with a hideous gold mask.

There was a man sitting cross-legged under the umbrella of the car, and compared to the red-clothed priest who acted as the emperor, this person was very casually wearing a gray robe with a very wide hem and sleeves, enveloping his body and limbs.

His arms were folded on his thighs, his head bowed as if he was dozing, and his gray hair fell down to cover most of his face.

When the bronze chariot left the palace gate, the red-clothed warriors immediately gathered up, either as the leader, or as the wings, or as the queen of the palace, no more, no less, a total of seventy-two horses.

"Give, tell me, now the old things are brought up again, and if you want to rebuild the Great Ganlu Temple, is it a blessing or a curse for my Grain Temple?"

The gray-haired man did not raise his head, and his voice was old.

The emperor who drove the car was Duanmu Ci, the second seat of the red-clothed priest of the Cereals Temple, he did not look back, bowed his head slightly, and said: "High priest, there may be pros and cons to give it, but there are gods and you in my temple, and it is the main sacrifice of the Ji family, and the status of the state religion is unshakable.

"Oh? Then let me ask you again, is the rise of Buddhism a blessing or a curse for Zhou Tian?"

Duanmu Ci was shocked when he heard this, and he pondered for a moment before he replied: "It's too late to give birth, I only heard that His Majesty wanted to build Buddhism back then, which led to the Taoist Gate and the family joining forces, resulting in the stillbirth of the Great Ganlu Temple, and the matter of Buddhism's northern transmission was stopped......

He was stunned, and said in shock: "This time the twelve Buddhas went north, and the families didn't seem to move, but they were a little optimistic about it, and the Daomen only shot once with a thunderous thunder and a small raindrop, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who had the support of Lingshan, was able to hold back, and sit back and watch the Daomen being suppressed by the Son of Heaven and Ao Mang through the Buddha Gate, this ......"

"The wind and rain are coming, and the world is still ignorant. Isn't it a family that suddenly looks at the Buddha Gate after a sleep, and it's not that the more powerful the Daomen, the more difficult it is to shake the position of the prince, so what can the rest of the masters who want to take the heir do, and what can they do with those who have fallen into their own hands? Jiazi said that the Tao was coming, and Lingshan, as the host, issued a great order to stop the war, in the final analysis, it was to stop His Majesty's westward expedition. But if he doesn't go west, how can the Son of Heaven take the opportunity to weaken the sects of various families and even a group of arrogant soldiers in the army for the king who succeeds to the throne, and how can the princes seek immortal merits to overwhelm the prince?"

The high priest smiled: "Seize the heir, now the martial arts are far inferior to the first emperor, but the decision is not bad at all, at this juncture of the rotation of heaven and earth's luck, resolutely throw out such a fragrant bait, how can the sects of the various families not willingly send their elites to the battlefield? Naturally, things that set rules can also be done, and even the so-called opportunity to transcend Zhou Tian, if it is true, it is naturally the best chance to obtain, and it is not impossible to achieve the great Zhou forever and rise to the throne. The first emperor and the present, the two generations of the Ji family's methods are actually the same, if it weren't for the early calculation, the king of Xianger would not have been defeated so quickly. ”

Duanmu Ci heard this, he was already sweating, it was really the high priest behind him, who was also born in the Ji family, but in order to enter the Gu Temple, he gave up his royal identity and hid his real name, the high priest of each generation, it is better to wear a loose gray robe, which is equivalent to the prince's python robe or even more noble in the Great Zhou, and the king of Xianger seems to have a great relationship with the high priest......

As for his own Ceres Temple, the high priest who is equivalent to the Ceres Temple has always been sensitive and does not mention it, that is the god of success, the god of defeat, a living god with the same root and origin, although the Son of Heaven of the past dynasties relied on it, it was impossible to really trust, and when it came to the general trend of luck competition, he did not dare to be too communicative, and the princes of the past dynasties and the Grain Temple were too close, which was a taboo for the Son of Heaven, otherwise the prince would not be willing to seek the support of Lingshan and even Daomen.

This is nothing, there is no shortage of successful princes who have succeeded in enthronement in the past dynasties who have acted like this, but this generation has a special situation, the Son of Heaven must not allow a family to be dominant or even have the slightest possibility of anti-guest, and the same is true of the Cereals Temple, this worry even overwhelmed the suspicion between the two families and broke the barrier, otherwise the god would not spend the price to continue his life for the present, all of which are really the general trend.

It's just that these things must not be declared, so he had to answer stubbornly: "Ci has also pondered the mystery, but he has always failed to think through, and the words of the high priest are really deafening. ”

At the same time, on the mountain road into the mountain, a middle-aged Taoist priest walked slowly.

He is full of heaven, thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes, his temples are slightly weathered, he wears a Huayang scarf on his head, he wears a lotus green bucket pattern golden Jiaodao robe, and he is draped with a snow-white crane without variegation, and he is holding a Xuanqing dragon cane of unknown material in his hand.

The Taoist priest seemed to walk slowly and quickly, like a blue-white phantom in the dim skylight, and soon reached the mountainside and stopped in front of the bronze chariot.

Not to mention Duanmu Ci and even the seventy-two red-clothed temple warriors who were facing a great enemy, the high priest raised his head for the first time, and under his gray hair was a face with sparse eyebrows and deep wrinkles: "Who should I be, it was the face of a real person." ”

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled heartily: "Ge Mou's Taoism is shallow, and he doesn't dare to call him a real person, and the high priest can call me to hug Chuan as he did back then." ”

The high priest smiled, and said with a needle hidden in the mian: "Don't dare, Ge Zhenren is the head of the Lingshan Sect, even if there are three old guys on his head, it is unspeakably expensive." The name of the cave void real person is even more sealed today, how can you say that if you don't call it, you won't call it, it's not child's play?"

Ge Baochuan, a real person in the cave, flashed his eyes and said with a smile: "The high priest said that he was joking, outsiders spread falsehoods, but my Lingshan has never been in charge of teaching, only heaven and man stand on the way, and the Taishang is respected. ”

The high priest snorted: "Wang Taichong, Ning Taiyue, Yao Taiyi, the three old guys underestimate the heroes of the world, and add the word Tai to their names, do they really think that they are too good?

teased the three supernatural ancestors of Lingshan and Ge Baochuan, as for the so-called Heavenly and Human Dao in the other party's mouth, the high priest avoided it.

Ge Baochuan laughed: "Where the ancestral system is, Baochuan is not exempt from vulgarity. Speaking of which, there are not many people in the world and even in the Ji clan who still remember the real name of the high priest. ”

The high priest was stunned when he heard this, and sighed: "The ancestral system ...... The latter seems to be much more peaceful, but in the final analysis, it is still the four characters of the weak and the strong, and the upper and lower dignity will only be stricter, and the more people can not resist, even if you and I are monks, we still can't get out of this cage, and we have to act according to the rules, and work hard for the fame and profit, which is the terrible and terrible place of the system. ”

He had something in his words, and he seemed to just feel it, as if he knew that he was speechless, he shook his head and smiled, and asked, "Ge Zhangjiao went up the mountain on the starry night, why did you come?"

"The spring spring is like liquor, from the Beijing Division, the autumn dew is sweet, and it is all over the bamboo reeds. ”

Ge Baochuan bowed his hand slightly: "Ge climbed the mountain early today, and originally wanted to ask for a cup of autumn morning nectar received by the golden and bronze immortals of Tongtiantai, but unfortunately, the high priest was going out before dawn, I don't know where to go?"

"Why do you knowingly ask, the dignified Lingshan Sect Master personally came to block the door, the old man naturally can't go anywhere, even if you leave this old face and the car that fills the façade and don't fly over, I'm afraid that your Daomen also has a backhand. Anyway, how many of the three old guys are here?"

Having said that, the high priest's eyes suddenly brightened, like lightning, piercing Ge Baochuan's eyes.

Ge Baochuan lowered his head slightly, bowed slightly and gave a half-salute, avoiding the confrontation with the divine will of this great master, straightened up and smiled: "High priest, don't be impatient, Ge Mou passed Zhongzhou, originally just came to worship the mountain on the way, and he didn't want to meet the big court, and I don't know if it's a coincidence or not." Lingshan actually only came to Uncle Yao, and he was only afraid that he was still on the road at the moment, but he had something to say tomorrow, and he didn't want to fight against the imperial court. ”

The high priest breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, the brilliance in his eyes dimmed, and he returned to his previous decrepit appearance, and sneered: "Don't talk about Yunyun by the way, since it is the head of Lingshan to worship the mountain, my Gushen Temple should treat each other with courtesy, not to respect you Ge Baochuan, but to respect Lingshan Daotong." Among the three old guys, Yao Taiyi is the most unreasonable, and it would be blind to expect him to speak well! Not to mention that even if only one comes, it will be difficult to get rid of the suspicion of forcing the palace. I hope you Lingshan can stop in moderation, otherwise the old man will not show his face, and he will leave your life behind!"

He waved his sleeve behind him: "Please!"

......

In the north of the capital division, the green darkness is vast, the clouds are rolling, the morning light is still faint under the clouds, and the clouds have already been golden for thousands of miles.

On a mountain of clouds that are piled up with colorful clouds and look like substance, there are two Taoists sitting opposite each other.

The first one in the west is wearing a brown coarse linen robe, without a crown and wearing hair, lying on silkworm eyebrows, three strands of long hair under the chin, the appearance is ancient, and he escapes from the dust, it is the lord of the Great Xuantian of Xudu Peak, the head of the Xuanzong of Yinshan - Chao Ghost Valley.

The first one in the east could not see the exact age, thin and short, wearing a Taiqing fishtail crown, wearing a stone blue satin embroidered colorful dragon robe, and an ancient sword on his knees, the hilt of the sandalwood sword, the tiger's mouth swallowing jade, the shark scabbard, and the dragon scales were densely built with beads.

The two of them didn't know how long they had been sitting opposite each other, Chao Guigu suddenly moved, as if waking up from the eternal fugue, looked down at the ancient sword on the knee of the Dongshou Daoist, smiled slightly, and said in a gentle voice: "Time is like a horse whip, floating world is like falling flowers and flowing water, the day is goodbye, ten years have passed." Brother Yao Dao, after a thousand years, can you and I still sit opposite each other like this, looking at each other and forgetting to speak?"

Yao Taiyi raised his eyes, raised his eyebrows obliquely, and three wrinkles appeared on his forehead: "Who can know what will happen after a thousand years, but there is only one thing, if you haven't entered the ground at that time, you must still be so hypocritical and pretentious! When the old Tao came, I thought that many people might get in the way, but I didn't expect that the first person to jump out was you." ”

He put the three fingers in the middle of his right hand on the scabbard, and gently slid it from right to left: "Lu Jue Ai pretended to make a move, but the result was not enough to succeed and more than to lose, this is just enough, you Yinshan Xuanzong belongs to the Taoist sect, do you really want to be the enemy of Lingshan?"

Chao Guigu shook his head: "Brother Dao, don't worry, I recognize Lingshan's stopping, I will have a few years of turmoil in Changchun, but I don't want to be taken advantage of by Da Zhou." As for Buddhism, Poor Dao has never had a good feeling, and he doesn't want to see it bigger, but when this is an extraordinary time, he doesn't want to lose big because of the small. ”

Yao Taiyi sneered: "The Ming people don't say secret words! If the Great Zhou Dynasty marches west again, Hei Di smells fishy, where will he not wait for the opportunity to move? When the patriarch of the ancestral land orders, Helan Changchun can be called the unification of the Khan, and he will wave his army or go west or south, and then Zhou Tian will be a pot of porridge, and there will be few people fishing in troubled waters!"

Chao Guigu slowly stroked his long hair, and laughed softly: "Since they both belong to the Daomen, Lingshan has lost its deer, and Yinshan is willing to chase it, so we can't let the Buddha, the Demon Gate and others take advantage of it." ”

When Yao Taiyi heard this, he stood up and said coldly: "Are you threatening Lao Dao? Da Xuantian is the only one of you with magical powers, and you dare to have such delusions?"

"In order to survive and grow, small households in Yinshan naturally have to do extraordinary things. ”

Chao Guigu also stood up, shook his head, and said: "Poor Dao coincided with his meeting this time, and he accidentally met Brother Dao coming violently, and I wanted to persuade him with good words, but when I saw this sword, I knew that I couldn't do anything, so I didn't bother to talk in vain." ”

Yao Taiyi sneered: "The old ghost is cunning, and when he sees that the situation is not good, he will shrink his eggs, and he will delay a lot of work in vain! If it weren't for the fact that Lao Dao specially asked the heavenly man on his body to kill you with a sword that was too tyrannical, he would have called you Da Xuantian to remove your name from Zhou Tian today!"

"Anyway, even you are wading into troubled waters, the thoughts of the Great Zhou monarchs and ministers can be known without asking, so they will not enter the court to dislike people, but they can't come empty, and they are going to teach the forgetful people in the world to know the height of my spiritual mountain!"

As he spoke, he held his sword in both hands, raised his eyebrows, and said respectfully: "Please decree!"

The words fell, the light of the ancient sword was released, and with a buzz, he broke free from the scabbard, only to see that the blue light of the sword body was rolling, it was not a genus of gold and iron, but a condensed and formed divine will, and the sword body was engraved with eight characters: "Every virtuous gift, and if you meet a coward, you will be removed!"

As soon as this sword came out, the heavens and the earth shook, and the clouds and mountains under the feet of the two immediately collapsed.

On the Heavenly Hell Mountain, the tumbling black flames rose to the sky, and the apes and demons danced around the flames.

In front of the stone tablet of the Great Ganlu Temple, a white lotus suddenly appeared on the forehead of the Twelfth Law, which grew in the wind, with a radius of several acres, and was in the air.

Above the forbidden city, there were even more rain clouds and thunder gathering, and a huge eye hidden in the clouds opened and looked north.

"Yao Taiyi, the master of the Lingshan East Prison Palace, I would like to ask Your Majesty Sheng'an!"

Words are like thunder, and they are heard all over the city.

The next moment, a brilliant sword light that could compete with the sun and the moon manifested, illuminating the heavens and the earth white.

Lingshan Taishang bears the sword, and a sword shines on Yujing!
