Gu Shenwei came to the Four Noble Truths once many years ago, but he didn't leave much impression.

At that time, he was still an inconspicuous brown belt killer, standing in the gloomy hall, telling a large group of strangers what he had seen and heard, and before he could recognize the appearance of each person, he was invited out.

He was more familiar with the hermitage on the hillside outside the temple, which had once been a retreat for the Tiger Monk.

Revisiting the old place, he is the dragon king, there are 10,000 troops on the east and west sides of Biyu City under his banner, and the treatment is naturally very different, nearly 100 monks in magic robes are neatly lined up at the door, and they greet the distinguished guests from afar.

However, the distinguished guest is not only the Dragon King alone, but also the Western Regions Protector Wei Song, the prince of the Shule State Prison State, and the Dubu King Shangguan Fa, who has not appeared in public for many years.

This was the first official meeting between Gu Shenwei and Shangguan Va.

Shangguan Fa under the sun was not as tall as Gu Shenwei remembered, his expression was as gloomy and rigid as ever, and his sunken eye sockets were like a protective layer, covering up the two sharp gazes and the oppressive murderous aura.

Shangguan Fa jumped off the horse, his movements were a little muddy, and he did not have the demeanor of a martial arts master, and the hundred guards behind him were all holding their heads high, and their armor was shining, which reflected the ordinariness of the master more and more.

The prince of Shule came from the west with the dragon king, and Shangguan Fa and Wei Song appeared from the east, four people representing the four armies, each with a hundred guards, almost at the same time, dismounted at the same time, and walked to the monks in front of the temple at the same time.

Ten steps away, Wei Song nodded slightly to Gu Shenwei, showing a trace of closeness that can only be felt by each other, but the expression on his face was more serious than Shangguan Fan.

Coming closer, Gu Shenwei finally saw those two eyes clearly, and in a flash, his heart was like a boulder falling, and the impact of the battle at Tongtian Pass was far from being eliminated, Gu Shenwei doubted whether he had the confidence to pull out the Wufeng Sword at this moment.

The abbot of the Four Noble Truths is a monk of about forty years old, he still looks very young, standing in the middle of a group of solemn old monks quite conspicuous, he is obviously used to seeing big scenes, in front of the distinguished guests without timidity, all of them are unanimous, whether it is a high-ranking official in the Central Plains, or a murderous dragon king and a Dubu king, the respect is the same.

Walking towards the temple, Gu Shenwei didn't see Lianqing among the monks, presumably his status in the temple was not high enough.

The abbot guides in front, introduces the buildings passed by from time to time, and when there is an important temple, he always takes the distinguished guests in to pay respects.

If he was an ordinary pilgrim and had the opportunity to worship all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Garan, he would be so excited that he burst into tears, but Gu Shenwei's mind was not on the glittering statue at all, he had been secretly observing Shangguan Fa.

King Dubu behaved like a devout believer, and several times he knelt on the futon to perform a complete prostration, and then prayed silently, so that the other three were embarrassed to stand up first.

After worshipping all 11 statues, the abbot monk paid more respect to King Dubu.

Gu Shenwei's feeling was diametrically opposite, he didn't know if it was the credit of the gods and Buddhas, or the influence of the empty temple, the pressure in his heart gradually disappeared, although he didn't have the weapon with him, he still had the confidence to draw the sword again.

King Dubu is also a human after all, but he has practiced the Daoless Divine Skills for decades.

All the way twists and turns, everyone came to a simple meditation room in the side courtyard, according to the abbot monk, there have been a number of monks here to attain the Tao and passed away, their Dharma name Gu Shenwei has never heard of one.

There were already six monks sitting in the meditation room, in a half-circle, old and young, all holding beads with their eyes down, silently reciting scriptures, and not responding to the arrival of the guests.

The smile on the monk's face faded, and he bowed one last time to the distinguished guest, then sat down on a futon and joined the procession of silent recitation.

Seven monks left four futons for the guests in front of them, Wei Song sat in the north as the protector of the Western Regions, with his back to the seven monks, Gu Shenwei was in the west, the king of Dubu was in the east, and the prince of Shule was in the south, and he made up his mind in his heart, unless necessary, he would never say a word.

This is indeed not the occasion to speak, the silent monks form a mysterious confinement, its power is beyond the power and army of the mortal world, Wei Song said in a low and awe-inspiring voice: "First of all, thank you to the four Jaran for providing a meditation room, the mages are merciful and do not want to see the lives ruined, since everyone is willing to come, there is no disagreement on this point." ”

The seven monks were indifferent to the gratitude of the protector of the Western Regions, and Gu Shenwei and King Dubu did not express it, only Prince Shule nodded politely.

Wei Song paused for a moment, and seemed to be reciting the scriptures silently, and when he spoke again, although his voice was not raised, it became extremely serious, "Three days ago, Lord Ma Lianma, the envoy of the Central Plains, paid a private visit in Biyu City, and was unfortunately assassinated, and after that, all parties had some irrational behavior. ”

The past three days have been irrational.

Ma Lian and his personal guards died at the junction of the north and south cities, and the assassin was subsequently killed, which caused an uproar throughout Biyu City, and Wei Song, as the supreme commander of the Central Plains stationed in the Western Regions, immediately ordered the whole army to move forward ten miles, demanding that Biyu City hand over the mastermind behind the scenes.

Kebi Jade City is an ownerless city at the moment, and the nominal governor of the city is a native of Beiting, and he has long not known where he has gone, and the actual controller is Jinpeng Castle, so he denied it at this time, and immediately pointed the finger at the Dragon Army and Xiaoyuetang, claiming that they were the culprits.

The Tianshan Sect swordsmen controlled by Jinpeng Castle were all dispatched, and it turned out that their monitoring of Biyu City had never been relaxed, just on the first day, Xu Xiaoyi's hard-working intelligence network was lost more than half, and he himself was only able to escape a catastrophe, and then a number of people who were said to be disciples of Xiaoyue Hall were arrested and beheaded.

Due to the advance of the original Chinese army, the Dragon Army in the south and the Jinpeng Army in the north lost their separation, and they moved forward at the same time, and there was a great posture for a decisive battle.

It's not enough to just use the army, Gu Shenwei sent his killers to enter the southern city to compete directly with the Tianshan Sect, and got the help of the Central Plains people, King Xiao once left dozens of Central Plains martial arts masters to the Dragon King, who were ostensibly the guards of the King of Xiaoyao Hai'an, but in fact only obeyed the orders of the Dragon King and King Xiao, and even Wei Song could not interfere.

Even so, the strength of the two sides is still unequal, Jinpeng Fort and Tianshan Sect have long been entrenched in Biyu City, occupying many advantages in the right time, place and people, if you want to break this advantage, Gu Shenwei's only choice is to send the Shule [***] team.

The battle between the two sides involved many innocent people, and in three days, half of the nearly 200 people killed and injured were unlucky people who did not know martial arts.

It was at this time that the Kun Society stood up, Shangguan Ru opposed the senseless killing, and from the years ago, he united organizations from all walks of life in the city to write a letter to the four armies, hoping that they would come forward to stop the assassination, although they never received a response, the petition refused to stop, and Gu Shenwei had at least fifteen identical letters on his desk, each of which contained the "Four Truths of the Divine Truths".

Shangguan Ru dedicated the Kun Society to the Four Noble Truths, and all the members of the society, whether they were female soldiers in the country of incense or former killer apprentices in Jinpeng Castle, swore in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva that they would never take the initiative to kill unless their lives were threatened.

The Kunsha's call for an armistice was still ineffective, and several members died in the scuffle, and it was on this basis that the monks of the Four Noble Truths came forward.

A senior monk from the Central Plains who had traveled west to study the scriptures personally visited Wei Song, and the effect was immediate, Wei Song withdrew the army to its original location, re-isolated the two armies that were eyeing each other, temporarily canceled the ultimatum to arrest the mastermind, and invited the leaders of the other three armies to consult together.

Last night, the scuffle came to an end, and both sides had their own gains and losses: the Tianshan Sect naturally replaced Jinpeng Fort to control Biyu City and became a recognized powerful force, but it failed to capture the entire city, and the killers sent by Gu Shenwei firmly occupied a large part of the southern city and a small part of the northern city after paying a lot of price, and since then they have an open foothold.

But the biggest beneficiary is still the Central Plains, Wei Song did not move a single soldier, just made a few gestures, and showed everyone that the Central Plains is the master of Biyu City.

But in front of the three leaders, Wei Song still showed righteous indignation, and after saying the cliché, his tone gradually became stern, "The envoy represents the dignity of His Majesty the Emperor of our dynasty, and there is no room for desecration, and he was assassinated by assassins, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise, not only will I not be able to bear this responsibility, but the entire Biyu City and everyone here may not be able to escape the catastrophe." ”

Prince Shule didn't dare to squeak, Gu Shenwei and Shangguan Fan were competing with their silent patience, Wei Song continued: "So, I want the three of you to tell me the truth, do you know the identity of the assassin?"

Prince Shule waited for a while, and had no choice but to be the first to speak, "I swear in the name of the gods and Buddhas of the heavens and the ancestors of the Shule royal family, the Shule country from me down, down to the most ordinary soldiers, the lowest slaves, has nothing to do with this assassination. ”

Shangguan Fa opened his mouth for the second time, his tone was unhurried, with obvious arrogance, which was quite different from his respectful attitude when he worshiped the Buddha, "The envoy of the Central Plains was not assassinated by me, in fact, killing him Jinpeng Fort will not benefit anything." ”

"By the same token, the dragon army did not gain anything from the assassination of the envoy. ”

Both of them refused to swear, and Prince Shule regretted it a little, feeling that he had just gone too far.

Wei Song seemed to be quite satisfied, and nodded, "I can get the assurance of the three of them, I feel much more at ease, but the matter is not over yet, I have already sent a quick letter to the imperial court, explaining the assassination of the envoy, this is my duty, if nothing happens, the imperial court will decide to go to war, if you want to avoid this disaster, you must find out the truth as soon as possible, capture the mastermind behind the scenes, and escort him to the Central Plains, maybe you can calm the anger of the heavenly court." ”

This is a straightforward threat, but it is quite powerful, and no one wants the Central Plains army to kill, which will upset the balance of everything.

Wei Song sighed slightly, "I think we only have three days left, and if it's too late, the holy decree has already been issued, and no matter how difficult it is to change, it will be helpful to find out the real culprit." ”

Ma Lian was assassinated, and neither the Long Army nor Jinpeng Fort benefited from it, Gu Shenwei wanted to ask Wei Song, if the Central Plains declared war on Biyu City, would it be in line with his heart?
