Since the last battle between Wuzhishan and Zhao Chengzong, Sima Chongcheng pondered for a few days and finally made up his mind, so after carefully arranging the affairs of the sect, he hurried to Lin'an City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sima Chongcheng went all the way, and arrived in the capital a month later as promised. As soon as he got off the horse, Sima Chongcheng was deeply attracted by the prosperity and wealth of this place: I saw him stop at the ten-mile long street for a long time, and marvel at the hundred-foot tall building. As far as the eye can see, all kinds of commodities are dazzling, making people overwhelmed; merchants and common people are all wearing silk and satin, and they only sigh that the Beijing division is rich. Perhaps these were too impactful, Sima Chongcheng was amazed, and he was a little overwhelmed.

Sima Chongcheng came from afar, and Jingshi had no old man, so he had to go to find out Zhao Chengzong's residence. Fortunately, Yinglong Villa has long been famous in Lin'an City, and as soon as Sima Chongcheng opened his mouth, someone told him how to go.

Sima Chongcheng then came to the gate of Yinglong Villa according to the passers-by, but when he saw that Yinglong Villa was solemn and large-scale, he couldn't help but secretly say: "This Yinglong Villa is really magnificent. ”

Soon after Sima Chongcheng and Yinglong Villa reported to the doorman, Zhao Chengzong had rushed out in a hurry, and as soon as they met, he made a long compilation to the mayor of Sima Chongcheng, and said respectfully: "Sect Master Sima has come from thousands of miles away, Zhao is grateful, please come inside, please hurry inside." ”

Sima Chongcheng suddenly felt restrained, and replied with a series of compilations: "Lord Zhao Zhuang is polite, Master Zhao Zhuang is polite." ”

Sima Chongcheng followed Zhao Chengzong to the hall, and Zhao Chengzong immediately ordered someone to bring good tea to serve, and another warm words of praise really made Sima Chongcheng's heart warm, and sighed that Zhao Chengzong was an open-minded and hospitable person.

"Farewell to Wuzhi Mountain, Poor Dao misses Zhao Zhuang very much, so he came to visit. Sima Chongcheng said politely. Sima Chongcheng spoke very smartly, although he came to visit the officials of the Ministry of Rites this time, but after all, the head of a faction always had to maintain some identity.

"Haha, thank you for your concern with Sect Leader Sima, I also miss Sect Leader a lot. When the sect leader comes today, I will definitely do my best as a landlord and accompany the sect leader Sima to have a glimpse of the beautiful scenery of Beijing. Zhao Chengzong said happily.

"Lord Zhao Zhuang is full of fists, and Poor Dao is very grateful. Sima Chongcheng thanked him, but suddenly picked up the tea and tasted it carefully, as if he was waiting for something.

Zhao Chengzong naturally saw Sima Chongcheng's thoughts, and then said: "Since the last time I returned from visiting the sect leader in Wuzhi Mountain, Lord Guo came to meet me several times, and I told the sect leader that Sima had the idea of the world's life, and conveyed the news that the sect leader would come to Beijing in the near future. Lord Guo was very happy, and he had already made it clear that the Holy Lord was the canonization of the Sima Sect Master. ”

"This time I came to Beijing, thanks to the guidance of Lord Zhao Zhuang many times, and the Poor Dao and the Red Lotus Sect must remember the kindness of Lord Zhao Zhuang. Sima Chongcheng immediately put down the teacup, got up and said to Zhao Chengzong.

Zhao Chengzong also immediately got up and stepped forward to support Sima Chongcheng, and hurriedly said: "Sima Sect Master cares about the safety of the world, it is really a high wind and bright festival, I Zhao is too late to admire, how dare I ask for credit?"

"Haha, doesn't the owner of Zhao Zhuang also have a heart for the common people, and he is also benevolent and virtuous?" Sima Chongcheng said with admiration.

Zhao Chengzong still shook his head humbly, and then said politely: "Sect Master Sima has come from afar, I have prepared a guest room, and I will stay here." Tomorrow, I will introduce the sect leader to meet Na Guo. ”

"In this way, there will be the owner of Lao Zhao. Sima Chongcheng said with relief.

After Sima Chongcheng came to Yinglong Villa, he was repeatedly entertained by the guests, and he was very grateful in his heart, and he sighed again and again that he was fortunate to have Zhao Chengzong in this life. So he was very interested, and he drank with Zhao Chengzong until late at night, not very happy.

Zhao Chengzong had already sent someone to inform Lord Guo that night, and when he set off the next day, the sedan chair of the Ministry of Rites had stopped at the gate of Yinglong Villa. Looking at this huge welcoming procession, Sima Chongcheng was a little flattered, and looked at Zhao Chengzong again and again.

"Sect Master Sima, please get on the sedan chair. Zhao Chengzong said happily.

Seeing that Zhao Chengzong also got on one of the sedan chairs, Sima Chongcheng was relieved to get in. After several times back and forth, a group of people had already come to the courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Guo and several adults were already waiting at the door, and when they saw the sedan chair falling, Lord Guo immediately came to greet them.

"Master Guo, this is the Red Lotus Sect Master Sima. Zhao Chengzong said respectfully.

"I have been friends with the True Immortal God for a long time, and it is really an honor for the True Immortal to arrive today. Master Guo couldn't hide his excitement and said.

Sima Chongcheng was flattered, so he had to smile awkwardly and said, "Lord Guo is so hearted, he is ashamed of his poverty. ”

Greeting people outside the hospital is etiquette, but when you enter the hospital, you have to talk about business. After a brief conversation, Master Guo changed his words and talked about the current situation, and naturally he also pointed to the Red Lotus Sect.

"True immortals live in seclusion in the mountains and forests to cultivate, have you ever heard of the current chaos in western Fujian?" Lord Guo asked with some anxiety.

"I have heard a little about the poor road, and it is said that it is to disturb the people and disturb the government. Sima Chongcheng said.

"My Song people have always been simple and simple, and I have never seen such a vast gathering of Diao people for more than a hundred years. This rebellion in western Fujian was huge, and even alarmed the Holy Driver, do you know why?" said Master Guo with some anger and some trepidation.

Sima Chongcheng's heart suddenly tightened, and he looked back at Zhao Chengzong, and then said slowly: "Presumably, now that the border plug is tight, there is no time to deal with it, and Diao Min took the opportunity to make trouble, so it became more and more intense." ”

"Haha, what the true immortal said is only one of them. Master Guo suddenly said with a smile.

"Poor Dao would like to hear about it. Sima Chongcheng said nervously.

"Throughout the ages, but all those who have caused a lot of trouble among the people have not pretended to be fairies and ghosts, and this time the chaos in western Fujian is precisely under the guise of the gods descending to earth to bewitch everyone, and it is out of control. Master Guo said coldly.

Sima Chongcheng immediately became uneasy, but he forced himself to calm down and said: "Diao people don't respect the gods and Buddhas, but use this as an excuse for chaos, which is really sad. ”

"But this time I suppressed the bandits in western Fujian and caught a leader named Cheng Shi bandits, but he was the master of your Red Lotus Sect altar. The rest of the bandits also have many disciples of your Red Lotus Sect. Master Guo suddenly said sternly.

Sima Chongcheng suddenly panicked, thinking that this time he would come to the court to persuade Lord Guo, but unexpectedly, he repeatedly gave Ma Wei, which really messed up Sima Chongcheng's position. By the time Lord Guo named Cheng Shi, Sima Chongcheng was already sweating profusely on his forehead, as if he was on pins and needles.

"The poor way is not strict in disciplining the disciples, and the restraint of the disciples is not effective, please ask the adults to surrender their crimes. Sima Chongcheng immediately knelt down and apologized.

Zhao Chengzong immediately stepped forward to intercede and said, "There are many members of the Red Lotus Sect, but Sect Master Sima has been living in seclusion in the mountains, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to discipline him. However, Sect Leader Sima is by no means a person who disturbs the society, on the contrary, Sect Leader Sima has long been loyal to the imperial court and has the intention of contributing to the country and the people. ”

Zhao Chengzong hurriedly glanced at Sima Chongcheng as he spoke, Sima Chongcheng nodded hurriedly, and said anxiously: "Poor Dao came to Beijing this time to show his mind to Lord Guo and the imperial court, the Red Lotus Sect is dedicated to the country and supports my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Master Guo immediately got up and helped Sima Chongcheng up, and said with guilt: "It is really a sin for the official to be heartbroken for a while, and he was in a state of mind for a while, and he actually disturbed the immortal appearance. ”

"Master Guo was vigilant and poor, I didn't think that there were people in the sect who participated in the great rebellion, and it was really my discipline failure. I will strictly restrain my disciples to ensure that this kind of thing never happens again. Sima Chongcheng still said with palpitations.

"It is natural for the true immortals to step up the discipline of the sectmen, but after all, the rebellion in western Fujian captured many disciples of the Red Lotus Sect, and these people turned their backs on the teachings and caused trouble, and they also hoped that the true immortals would draw a line with them. Master Guo said.

"Now that Poor Dao has a clear mind, he will naturally no longer be in the company of these traitors. Please rest assured that Mr. Guo will be able to do so. Sima Chongcheng Lang Lang said.

"Haha, with the words of the true immortal, Xia Guan is much relieved. However, since the true immortal said that he would be loyal to the imperial court and dissociate himself from these traitors, it is better for the true immortal to deal with these rebels who violate the doctrine himself, so that the loyalty of the true immortal can learn from the sun and the moon, and the world knows it. Master Guo said with a smile.

Sima Chongcheng was a little troubled. After all, whether it is Cheng Shi or Shi Quanqing, they have been disciples of the Red Lotus Sect for many years, especially Shi Quanqing or his own proud disciple, but now he wants to slash them, how can he do it?

Lord Guo looked at Sima Chongcheng with a comfortable expression, as if he was not in a hurry to get an answer immediately.

Zhao Chengzong saw that Sima Chongcheng was embarrassed, but he knew that this matter could never be refused, otherwise the previous explanations and appeals of loyalty would be in vain, so he stepped forward and said to Sima Chongcheng: "Sima Sect Master thinks about personal relationships, of course, there is affection and righteousness. But now these two men have violated the law of the land, and even if you don't kill him, they will not escape death. Why don't you clean up the door, and save the two of them from the crime of gathering a crowd to rebel?"

Sima Chongcheng naturally understood what Zhao Chengzong meant, if he made a move, he would naturally maintain the reputation of the Red Lotus Sect, even if the two of them were convicted, they would not be implicated in the Red Lotus Sect. But Sima Chongcheng was still a little unbearable, and he hesitated and couldn't answer.

"Does the True Immortal want to sympathize with the anti-thief?" Lord Guo asked coldly.

"No, of course not. Sima Chongcheng hurriedly argued.

"Since it's not, then what are the true immortals hesitating about?" Lord Guo asked

"Don't hesitate, don't hesitate. Sima Chongcheng replied hurriedly.

"Okay, then let's go to the criminal department tomorrow. After the true immortal clears the portal, I will lead the true immortal into the palace, and the true immortal will then show his mind to the saint, presumably the saint will be happy. Master Guo said happily.

Sima Chongcheng was helpless, so he was half-pushed and half-made up his mind by Lord Guo. While hesitating, he saw Zhao Chengzong smiling firmly at him, and Sima Chongcheng came to his senses.

"Then there is Lord Lao Guo. Sima Chongcheng gently wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said.

Next, the officials of the Ministry of Rites asked Sima Chongcheng for advice, all of which were Taoist metaphysics and the like, Sima Chongcheng studied this technique deeply, and the answers were fluent, and the officials also praised them many times. In this way, Sima Chongcheng returned to his usual immortal wind bones, and he was at ease.

The next day, Lord Guo and other senior officials led Sima Chongcheng and Zhao Chengzong to the Criminal Department. After some introduction, Liu Dacai of the Criminal Department took everyone to the prison.

Sima Chongcheng looked at Cheng Shi, Shi Quanqing, and the other Red Lotus Sect members who were covered in blood in the prison, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

"Altar master, parishioners, the true immortal is here. Shi Quanqing said excitedly.

The prison suddenly boiled, Sima Chongcheng was the leader of the sect, and he was praised by everyone as a true immortal, and he was a great power. When everyone saw the sect leader coming to the prison this time, they thought that he must have come to save themselves.

"Disciple to meet the true immortal!" The prisoner in the prison immediately knelt down respectfully and kowtowed.

Sima Chongcheng called everyone up in harmony, and then said sentimentally: "You have suffered here, you have suffered here. ”

"As long as the true immortal is here, it doesn't matter how much he suffers. Shi Quanqing said lightly.

"The true immortal is coming, and this prison is a fairyland. The congregationists said with excited expressions.

Sima Chongcheng was very embarrassed at the moment, and the pain was like a knife, so he had to stop talking.

"I said the True Immortals would come to our rescue. Even though the skin was open, Cheng Shi still smiled happily and said proudly to everyone.

"True Immortal, get us out. The Red Lotus Sect members shouted one after another.

Other unrelated prisoners in the prison also echoed as if they had picked up a life-saving straw, and suddenly the entire prison mountain roared with a tsunami, so as not to be shocked.

"Silence, silence!" shouted the jailer as he banged on the cell with a bamboo pole, but to no avail.

I saw Sima Chongcheng turn his back, and then raised his hand, and the shouting in the prison stopped.

"What is the third article of the Red Lotus Sect's canon? Shi Quanqing, you can answer. Sima Chongcheng said heavily.

"The third article of the Red Lotus Sect's canon is that the disciples of the sect are dedicated to cultivating the truth and are not involved in secular disputes. Shi Quan replied clearly.

Sima Chongcheng nodded, still turning his back and saying, "What is the seventh article of the Red Lotus Sect's canons?" Cheng Shi, you say. ”

"The seventh article of the Red Lotus Sect's canon is to be calm and not kill. Cheng Shi said slowly.

"What about the fourteenth article of the Red Lotus Sect?" asked Sima Chongcheng again heavily.

"The fourteenth article of the Red Lotus Sect is that the disciples of the sect should lead people to goodness and support the right path. Shi Quanqing replied.

"Then why did you knowingly break my Red Lotus Sect Rules?" Sima Chongcheng said angrily without waiting for Shi Quanqing to finish answering.

Suddenly, everyone seemed to understand that the sect leader had not come to save them, and their hearts couldn't help but feel cold.

"But the true immortals don't know, we are waiting for the killing ring, it is completely the corrupt officials in western Fujian who are rampant and domineering, persecuting the neighbors, how many innocent people have died of persecution?" Shi Quanqing said helplessly.

"Corrupt officials have their own laws to punish them, so why bother you to cause more trouble?" Sima Chongcheng scolded.

"Ten officials and nine greedy officials in western Fujian, if there is a law to punish them, why is this?" Cheng Shi also said helplessly.

"Qujiang also heard that there were mediocre officials, but he didn't see any sectarians causing trouble? This is because everyone keeps in mind the rules and keeps to themselves. Sima Chongcheng said.

The crowd fell silent.

"I am very saddened that you have not obeyed the doctrine to have caused such a catastrophe today. Sima Chongcheng immediately turned around and said with tears in his eyes.

"I've already learned that I'm wrong, don't be sad for true immortals. Shi Quanqing said aggrievedly.

"I'll wait until I know my mistake, and ask the true immortal to help us out. The congregation pleaded.

"Silence!" Lord Liu roared, and then said: "You are plotting rebellion and rebellion, and your crimes are extremely heinous, and you will be beheaded in the afternoon, and no one can save you." ”

As soon as these words came out, the prison suddenly fell into a cold dead silence. Everyone looked at Lord Liu, and then at Sima Chongcheng, but read the answer from Sima Chongcheng's helpless eyes.

"Today, if you break the law of the land, you will not be able to save you. Sima Chongcheng said coldly.

In the afternoon, all the people involved in the uprising in western Fujian were escorted to the court field, but when they saw the law enforcement officer reading a document, a human head fell to the ground, which was really terrifying.

"Ask the true immortal to help me. On the court, the Red Lotus Sect disciples who were waiting for the execution pleaded one after another.

I saw Lord Liu and Master Guo looking forward to Sima Chongcheng, Sima Chongcheng looked up to the sky and sighed, and then entered the Dharma field alone. Everyone suddenly looked uplifted, and respectfully greeted Sima Chongcheng.

But seeing Sima Chongcheng raised his hand with one hand, the Taiji Longquan Sword was already in his hand.

"True Immortal, what are you going to do here?" the crowd asked hesitantly.

"You don't abide by the rules and commit many precepts, the Red Lotus Sect will draw a clear line with you and other unscrupulous people today, and the poor Dao will clean up the door for the Red Lotus Sect. Sima Chongcheng closed his eyes and said.

Before he could finish speaking, Sima Chongcheng had already roared past the crowd, and then more than a dozen Red Lotus Sect disciples fell in response.

"The True Immortal really wants to kill us?" the remaining disciples shouted anxiously.

Sima Chongcheng was speechless, so he had to continue to fly by, and after a while, another Red Lotus Sect fell.

"If the true immortal wants me to die, how can I live. But one person does things and one person does it, and I will never drag down the Red Lotus Sect. Shi Quanqing said and hit the stone steps next to him hard, and suddenly kicked on all fours and ascended to heaven.

Sima Chongcheng paused, but continued to clean the portal.

"Haha, if the true immortal wants to abandon us, what can I say?" Cheng Shi laughed loudly and stood up from the last row of the crowd and said loudly.

But before the words fell, Sima Chongcheng's sword had already slashed through his throat.

"Thank you, True Immortal, for keeping my whole corpse ......," Cheng Shi said convulsively, and then stiffened.

By the time Sima Chongcheng had killed the last row of disciples, the Dharma Field was already bleeding. Sima Chongcheng looked at the bright red sword in his hand, and then at the dozens of disciples lying on the field, and suddenly shouted as if he was crazy.

Lord Guo and Lord Liu nodded proudly frequently.

"True immortals are righteous and kill relatives, which is really the luck of the community. I will go to the imperial court and lift the restrictions on the Red Lotus Sect from now on. Lord Liu said happily.

Sima Chongcheng was silent, as if he hadn't heard anything.

The next day, Sima Chongcheng followed Lord Guo's face to the saint, and sure enough, as Lord Guo said, after Sima Chongcheng made his mind clear, the emperor was very happy, not only gave him golden silk robes, hundred refining dust and other holy weapons, but also rewarded many treasures, which was really envious of other officials in the court. But what made Sima Chongcheng's spirit most invigorated was that the emperor issued an edict to enshrine the Red Lotus Sect as the imperial sect, and Sima Chongcheng as the great master of Lingzhen Protector.

Now that the Red Lotus Sect has become an orthodox religion canonized by the court, and he is also honored as an important national teacher, he is proud of the spring breeze, and the haze of yesterday's bloody law field has also been swept away.

"These people are to blame, and if I kill them, I will leave all the corpses behind. Sima Chongcheng said in his heart, and then turned the page of the matter, which was considered to be in the past.

"Congratulations to Sect Master Sima, oh no, it's the Lingzhen National Master. Zhao Chengzong said respectfully.

"Lord Zhao Zhuang wants to torture the poor Dao like this, so let's call Pingdao Sect Master Sima. Sima Chongcheng said lightly.

"Now that the Red Lotus Sect has been sealed by the imperial court, the Sima Sect Leader is also honored as the national teacher, and everyone in the world respects and envies him, and the Sima Sect Leader is really the most accomplished leader in the history of the Red Lotus Sect. Zhao Chengzong praised again and again.

Lord Zhao Zhuang smiled. Sima Chongcheng replied happily.

"By the way, Zhao has an invitation to the martial arts conference here, which was sent to Sect Master Sima. Zhao Chengzong said and took out a post and handed it to Sima Chongcheng.

Sima Chongcheng took the post and looked at it, and his brows immediately furrowed. Sima Chongcheng had been living in Lingnan before coming here, so he naturally didn't know about the robbery of the Sword Gate, but now that he saw the words on the post, he felt that the situation was urgent.

Zhao Chengzong then explained the previous changes in the rivers and lakes to Sima Chongcheng.

"I can't imagine that there are so many things in the rivers and lakes in just a few months. Although I don't walk around the rivers and lakes much, but when I come back, I am finally a member of the Sword Gate, and I must participate in this meeting. Sima Chongcheng said with emotion.

"Not only do you have to participate, but Sect Leader Sima also has to shine at the meeting and sit in the position of the leader of the alliance. Zhao Chengzong said.

"Haha, how can he command the world?" said Sima Chongcheng humbly.

"Now among the Jianghu Sword Sect, the Red Lotus Sword Technique of Sect Leader Sima is the most subtle and powerful, and Sect Leader Sima is also a protector mage, you come out to preside over the overall situation, who is not convinced?" Zhao Chengzong said proudly.

"Martial Arts Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I'm just afraid that I can't do it. Sima Chongcheng still said with little confidence.

"Everything is man-made, if Sect Master Sima has the heart, I will do my best to help you win the championship. Zhao Chengzong said with a smile.

"Since the Holy Lord built a Taoist temple for me in Lin'an City, I will make friends with the world's heroes at this hero conference. Sima Chongcheng said open-mindedly.
