After Wang Haoxian sat down on the high lotus platform, Li Zhenghua put the iron box beside him, leaned down and bowed down and said, "Meet the sect leader!"

Because he has not been able to get the Smell Fragrance Sect's holy relic, the fairy fox Xiangwei, Wang Haoxian has been in charge of the church for three years, but he has always been called "the position of the temporary acting sect leader", and the church calls him generally "Young Sect Master" or "Third Son".

The word "sect leader" represents orthodoxy and consummation, which is the title that Wang Haoxian wants to get and hears the most.

Li Zhenghua threw himself to the ground at this moment, and respectfully and reverently shouted the word "sect leader", in order to express his will in front of Wang Haoxian. After all, what he had been supporting was Wang Haoyi before, and he was on the opposite side of the third son, strictly speaking, he should be regarded as an outsider and a newcomer. Therefore, he understands that he must spare no effort to show his fierce loyalty and show his ability, so that he can hope to become Wang Haoxian's most capable subordinate and most trusted confidant in the shortest possible time. Then the days of power and honor will return!

And what Wang Haoxian heard from Li Zhenghua's name for himself was another meaning: Li Zhenghua has succeeded! He is about to officially become the sect leader!

A satisfied smile appeared on Wang Haoxian's fat face, shiny and shiny, although he was only wearing a single coat, he was still like a robe wearing *, exuding an invisible momentum.

"Get up! Uncle Li has worked hard!" Wang Haoxian suppressed his urgency and said warmly.

Li Zhenghua slowly got up, deliberately behaved with sincerity and fear, respectfully, raised the iron box in his hand high and said: "Entrusted to the sect leader Hongfu, the subordinates have not disgraced their mission, and finally took the holy relics and asked the sect master to check them!"

According to the usual practice, whether subordinates hand over documents or offer items, they should be inspected by Yang Wu and other close servants and then handed over to Wang Haoxian. But before Yang Wu could make a move, there seemed to be a strong wind blowing in the hall, blowing dozens of oil lamps and shaking, Li Zhenghua only felt that his hand was light, and the iron box had been taken away by Wang Haoxian out of thin air.

Li Zhenghua's heart sank, and at the same time he was a little puzzled. The first sect leader Wang Sen's martial arts are world-famous, and he has accepted four disciples in this life, in addition to Xu Hongru and Li Guoyong, they are his second son Wang Haoyi and third son Wang Haoxian. Among the four great disciples, Wang Haoyi has extraordinary qualifications and has cultivated hard, and is recognized as the number one master; Li Guoyong has cultivated the skill of catching cicadas to a great achievement, and his martial arts can be ranked second; Xu Hongru is famous for his medical skills, and his martial arts can only be regarded as second-rate; while Wang Haoxian's body is obese and his bones are not good, and his martial arts can only be compared with Xu Hongru.

Therefore, Wang Haoxian's first impression is not because of his martial arts, but because of his calm personality and careful thinking. Ke Shicai's skill in ingesting the iron box out of thin air was extremely subtle, which greatly exceeded Li Zhenghua's expectations.

Wang Haoxian took the iron box, seemingly unaware of Li Zhenghua's shock, his eyes were shining, and he looked at the quaint iron box excitedly, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

The tin box had no locks, but it was made very tightly and sealed with fire paint, so it could not be opened easily. Wang Haoxian can be sure from the complete fire paint that Li Zhenghua has not opened the iron box, and he is even more satisfied with his performance.

Carefully removing the closed fire paint, Wang Haoxian held his breath and opened the lid with anticipation.

When he saw the contents of the box clearly, the smile quickly froze on his face and quickly disappeared, replaced by loss and annoyance.

Naturally, he didn't see the long-awaited fairy fox Xiangwei in the iron box, but a fox fur that was pressed a little tightly. Wang Haoxian recognized at a glance that this fox fur was the one his father wore before he was arrested and imprisoned for the second time.

Wang Haoxian was lost and angry, he didn't understand, why did the old man play tricks on himself when he was already dead? Why couldn't he give the holy relics to himself?!

Li Zhenghua stood with his head bowed in His Royal Highness, and did not see the change in Wang Haoxian. But he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the hall had become very oppressive and hot, as if a manic and violent aura was being generated, and he even felt a hint of danger in this breath.

Li Zhenghua couldn't help but tense his body, and Zhenyuan operated silently and entered a state of alert. He didn't understand what was happening, but vaguely felt that something was wrong.

However, the manic and violent aura soon disappeared, and the cold and calm returned to the hall.

Wang Haoxian's faint voice slowly came from the lotus platform: "This time I was able to successfully obtain the holy relics, Uncle Li has made great contributions, and he has been specially appointed as the head of the Southern Association, in charge of all the teaching affairs south of the Yangtze River!"

The leader of the association is the highest position under the leader of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, and his power is still above the protector of the Dharma. Li Zhenghua was so excited that he bowed to the ground again and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the sect leader, your subordinates will swear to die in retribution!"

Wang Haoxian said: "Uncle Li, get up, don't be polite! I really want to know the detailed process of your acquisition of the holy relics, so I will trouble Uncle Li to come and hear about it!"

Li Zhenghua didn't even dare to say it, and then told everything that happened last night, with some excitement and pride in his tone.

Just after listening to his narration, Wang Haoxian did not praise him for his wit and extraordinary skills, but immediately raised his voice and said sharply: "Li Zhenghua and Yang Wu listen to orders!"

Li Zhenghua was stunned for a moment, and was at a loss, when he heard Yang Wu's voice leading the order, he hurriedly shouted: "The subordinates are here!"

Wang Haoxian has always spoken slowly, as if he was not sad or happy, not in a hurry, but at this moment his speech speed is extremely fast, word by word continues to pop out, just like the sound of stir-fried soybeans in the most famous "Wang Ji Roasted Goods Shop" in Luanzhou City, like heavy rain falling, the continuous sound of raindrops under the eaves: "You immediately take people to Dawangzhuang, be sure to control the kid surnamed Gao and Wang Haoli, and bring them to see me, you must not let them run away!"

Li Zhenghua was inexplicable, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he immediately took the order with Yang Wu.

In the spacious hall, only Wang Haoxian was left, sitting on the lotus platform in a daze. A cold wind suddenly blew into the hall that did not close the door, Wang Haoxian couldn't help but shiver, only then remembered that he was only wearing a single clothes, and became more and more annoyed, threw the iron box in his hand, slammed it on the wall, and smashed the beautiful mural out of a gap.

"Wang Haoli, I have always treated you well, but you tease me like this, then don't blame me for ignoring brotherhood!" After Wang Haoxian's huge figure disappeared, the Divine Lord Hall left this cold and murderous voice.

Soon after Li Zhenghua rushed to Shifokou to meet Wang Haoxian, Gao Jie and his party also quickly entered Luanzhou City.

Luanzhou City is located in Gyeonggi, close to the Luanhe River, is the transportation artery to the northeast, rich in real estate, outstanding people, is an ancient city with a long history.

As soon as Gao Jie and the others entered the city gate, they were led by a brocade-clothed guard dressed as a merchant and waiting for a long time, through several streets, and finally came to a courtyard house.

Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun, Sun Qianguang and Wei Qi, who arrived in advance, were waiting in the courtyard, and when they saw Gao Jie and others coming, they all got up and saluted.

Because this trip involved some secrets of the White Lotus Sect, Gao Jie and the others naturally would not tell Tian Ergeng about what happened in Dawangzhuang last night.

After discussing with Tian Ergeng and others, Gao Jie decided to rush to Shifokou the day before the celebration. In the past two days, he was stationed in Luanzhou City to rest and recuperate. Tian Ergeng continued to send Jinyi Wei secret agents to conduct secret investigations and secret visits in Luanzhou City and Shifokou to collect information.

Gao Jie learned from the news that Tian Ergeng had received in the past two days that the influence of the Wenxiang Sect in Luanzhou City was even greater, and the city was almost full of fanatical, pious, or brainwashed Wenxiang Sect followers, and they needed to be extra careful.

This courtyard here was specially prepared by Tian Ergeng for Gao Jie and others, and he and Xu Xianchun and other Jinyi guards lived in another courtyard not far away. These properties are Jinyiwei's secret stronghold here, so they are very safe and reliable.

Seeing that most of Gao Jie and the others seemed to have dark circles under their eyes and tired faces, Xu Xianchun was careful and knew that they should have come at night, so he immediately said goodbye and asked them to rest quickly, without asking why they were in such a hurry to rush at night.

Gao Jie secretly praised Xianchun for being smooth and reasonable, and after they left, he immediately beckoned everyone to eat the breakfast sent by Tian Ergeng and others, and then went back to the house to make up for sleep.

And he didn't rest himself, and pulled Wang Rui quietly out of the courtyard.

Their horses were all left in Dawangzhuang, and they all walked on their feet on the way to Luanzhou. Fortunately, the big guys are all martial arts practitioners, and they don't feel too tired.

It's just that there are no horses to travel, and it is inconvenient after all. So Gao Jie and Wang Rui bought a few horses in Luanzhou City, left two, and let the shopkeeper send the rest to the courtyard where they lived. Then the two rode out of the city and headed in the direction of Shifokou.

More than half an hour later, the stone Buddha mouth was already in sight. After looking around, Gao Jie, who had been prepared, found the destination of this trip at a glance, and beckoned Wang Rui to run towards a temple with a wide area and a magnificent atmosphere.

In Shifokou, there are two temples with the largest area, one is the most important shrine of the Wenxiang Sect, and the other is the Bodhi Temple.

The main temple is the place where the head of the Wenxiang Sect handles religious affairs, and the Bodhi Temple has become the permanent residence of the second son, Wang Haoyi.

When Wang Sen was alive, Wang Haoyi and Wang Haoxian each had supporters, and their strength was equal, and they were always in a state of parity. However, after Wang Sen's death, his two brothers, Wang Wei, the head of the Eastern Society, and Wang Ru, the head of the Western Society, suddenly chose to support Wang Haoxian and helped him ascend to the position of acting head of the church, temporarily acting as the head of the church.

Although Wang Haoyi was rude in this battle, after all, he had a deep foundation and still obtained the position of the head of the northern guild, and the Bodhi Temple, the second largest in Shifokou, became his stronghold.

Although Wang Haoxian wanted to get rid of the second brother, he didn't dare to do it easily. In addition to the reason that Wang Haoyi's martial arts are superb, it is also because of the strong support of powerful figures in the sect such as Xu Hongru.

However, since Wang Haoxian became the acting leader, Wang Haoyi seemed to have changed as a person, and began to live in a simple and low-key silence.

Wang Haoxian seized the opportunity to consolidate his power in the sect, used both grace and power, and won over the powerful, and in just three years, he established absolute authority! The name Wang Haoyi was gradually forgotten by the Wenxiang Sect followers.

It is said that even the teaching affairs of the Wenxiang Sect in the north, Wang Haoyi almost left it alone, and all the teaching affairs of the northern sect leader were handled by his subordinates.

It seems that Wang Haoyi has completely lost the fighting spirit to compete for religious power with his younger brother, and even has no interest at all. Some believers once saw a man who looked like Wang Haoyi in the winery in the middle of the night, drunk without restraint, vomiting on the side of the road in embarrassment, and decadent like a drunkard. In addition to regretting, almost everyone thinks that the second son, Wang Haoyi, who was once strong in martial arts and outstanding in talent, collapsed like this, and it was over.

Even so, Wang Haoxian, who is cautious by nature, does not think that Wang Haoyi is no longer a threat to him! Because although Xu Hongru has been imprisoned, he is not dead! Xianhu Xiangwei has not yet been found, and his position as sect leader is still not secure, and everything is still possible! Therefore, when he ascended to the position of acting sect leader three years ago, he began to send people to monitor the Bodhi Temple and keep an eye on Wang Haoyi, and he has not been interrupted for a moment until today.

From Xu Hongru, Gao Jie knew Wang Haoyi's situation, so he didn't plan to enter the Bodhi Temple with a swagger like this. Tethering their horses from afar, Gao Jie and Wang Rui walked through the fields and woods to the back of the Bodhi Temple.

Behind the Bodhi Temple is a low mountain, and it is rarely crowded except for some people who cut wood.

At this moment, there are two people on the hillside, in shabby clothes, chopping wood. They are skillful and fast, and they look like veterans of firewood. But when they saw Gao Jie and Wang Rui coming to the bottom of the hillside behind the temple, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and from each other's eyes, they saw a touch of surprise, as if the firewood collector had finally found a dry, thick, and good firewood that could be burned for a long time.
