Chapter 80: Offering Incense to the Gods
With the effort of the tea, a gap opened on the belly of the back mountain that had just been closed.
Monk Dingyuan and Qin Shuai Ling walked out one after another.
Qin Shuai Ling looked at the restored back mountain with a look of admiration.
"Lord Dingyuan, this immeasurable Dharma Mida realm is really extraordinary, in the belly of this small mountain, it can open up such a method domain, which is really an eye-opener for Xiao Shuai. ”
"Amitabha, Qin Shuailing is overrated. It's just a small technique, but it's far inferior to the Sanyang magic method in the meeting. ”
Although Monk Dingyuan said so, the pride in his eyes could not be concealed.
The two walked side by side, but they chatted.
"Qin Shuailing, these past few days have been hard and you have been running around for days, but I don't know when the remaining two Daoists will be able to send them?" asked Monk Dingyuan.
"This is a subordinate duty, and I dare not praise it like an adult. Qin Shuai Ling didn't even dare to say it, and then immediately replied, "My lord, Lang Shuai Ling has already sent me a message from Feifu, saying that if there is no accident, the two Daoists will be able to reach this temple in five days at the latest." ”
"Five days later?" Monk Dingyuan asked in some surprise when he heard this.
"How can it be so late?"
Qin Shuailing immediately said with a somewhat ugly face, "Yes, Lang Shuailing has some trouble over there. The city guard on the Fuchang side suddenly changed his mind halfway, and did not allow the two Taoists led by Lang Shuai Ling to enter the city to preach, so he had to call the believers out of the city to collect incense beliefs, but it was a little late. ”
Monk Dingyuan said "um" at this time, and asked with some puzzlement, "What's wrong with the Fuchang City Guard? Are they not suitable for us, and it's good to cooperate all the time?"
"Your Excellency, you don't know. Although the northern cities have a private tacit understanding with my Sanyang Society, in fact, it is not because my Sanyang Society is willing to give these homeless people a bite to eat, saving them a lot of effort, so they just turn a blind eye. ”
"Now I see that the believers of my Sanyang Society are growing day by day, but they have a different mind, and they don't forget about the small actions, and now they have begun to block the road of transporting our grain. ”
And, most importantly, after the death of King Yong, his wife, with the full support of her mother's family, immediately pushed her eldest son to the throne of King Yong, regained control of the northern land, and pacified the army and people under her command. ”
"In other words, the threat that has been pressing on our Sanyang Society has not eased in the slightest. ”
Qin Shuai Ling suddenly poured bitter water.
Dingyuan's brows furrowed when he heard this, and he asked again, "There's no way to deal with it in the meeting, let them get stuck in our necks?"
"Not for the time being. Qin Shuailing shook his head, looked around, and then whispered to him.
"My lord, you have lived in this Ciyun Temple for a long time, concentrating on refining this sacrificial incense for the Heavenly Venerables, but you don't know that there are also dark waves surging in the meeting."
"Some time ago, after the news came that the head of the Yuan Emperor Sect had died along with most of the elite disciples in the sect,
The two Dharma masters of the Qingyang and Baiyang veins immediately had a conflict over the ownership of the Yuanhuang faction, and they both wanted to monopolize the majority. ”
"After fighting openly and secretly for a while, many people even died, which can be regarded as completely tearing off the skin. At present, the two veins are doing their own thing, and there is a posture of not getting along with each other. Otherwise, how can we be fully responsible for such a major matter as refining the incense of the gods, in the past, they were eager to send people to monitor us, for fear that when they paid tribute, they would lose a star and a half. Especially this year, the refining is still a big incense, far from the previous petty fights. ”
Qin Shuailing said this, but the smile in his eyes could no longer be hidden, and he said with a mocking tone, "Don't you know, just a few days ago, the two veins of Jing and Bai raided the mountain gate of the Yuan Emperor faction, but they didn't want to suffer a big blow. ”
"According to the information I received, the Yuan Emperor faction had already closed the mountain and started the battle as soon as they got the death of the head of the sect, and they also woke up a few old things who faked their deaths to avoid robbery, guarding against the passage of robbing and falling into the well. ”
"The Qingbai Second Vein was directly hit in their hands, and it can be said that there were heavy casualties. They also don't want to think that the Yuan Emperor faction has been dominating the north for many years, and no matter how sudden the catastrophe is, the emaciated camel will be bigger than the horse. ”
He gestured a palm and said with a gloating smile, "I estimate that now that the blue and white veins are combined, I am afraid that the number of people who will add up the squad commander order is less than half a hundred." ”
"Now in the meeting, it is my red vein that has the right to speak, just like this refining of the sacrificial incense, the green and white veins are not sending anyone to ask, it can be seen that they must have suffered a lot. ”
Monk Dingyuan smiled and said nothing, but said to Qin Shuailing, "Since this is the case, then please Qin Shuailing take a good rest in the temple for the time being, and wait for Lang Shuailing to bring Daozi back, and we will immediately open the furnace to make incense." ”
Qin Shuailing immediately nodded yes.
The two returned to Tsz Yun Temple, and after eating a vegetarian meal, they separated.
Beiguan City.
Zhang Jiao listened to the information transmitted by "Miao Dao" from a distance, and his eyes were full of blood, but he was moved.
"Offering incense?"
"I need to use the Tao that absorbs the power of incense as a raw material, and I think this incense should also be suitable for my use. ”
He began to figure it out.
"One Dharma Master, two commanders, and more than a dozen monks who are suspected of being generals. ”
"The guards in this Tsz Yun Temple are not weak. So what should I do?"
Zhang Jiao thought about it as he walked, and after a while, he suddenly stomped his foot.
An earthy imp immediately emerged from the ground.
"Little one, please meet the master. ”
Zhang Jiao looked at the soil ghost kneeling on the ground, and immediately ordered it, "Go, find me a mouse." Remember, don't let the rats notice anything unusual. ”
The earth ghost immediately nodded yes, and then quickly disappeared into the earth.
Outside the city of Beiguan.
Dozens of boys of the same size were scattering along the city wall with their hands in their hands, looking around, as if looking for something.
"Erniu, look. ”
After looking for a long distance, he walked in front and suddenly pulled the kid next to him and whispered.
The kid known as Erniu immediately followed his finger and saw a fist-sized rat hole in the corner of the wall not far away.
The two of them ran over and took a closer look around the rat hole.
"New earth, and traces of living things. ”
The two of them were immediately in ecstasy, and immediately got busy.
In the past few days, there have been a lot of rats inside and outside Beiguan City for some reason, and they often burrow into the city one by one, as if there is something in the city that particularly attracts them.
It's just that this abnormal situation did not attract the attention of the big people in the city at all, but on the contrary, it was a pleasure to the surrounding homeless, and many people looked around the city wall every day, ready to see if they could catch some game.
Among them, especially these half-grown boys are the most active.
Erniu licked his skinned lips, a wolf-like gaze appeared in his eyes, and the gravel fragments in his hands quickly dug the soil hole in front of him.
He seemed to be able to feel the deliciousness of rat meat.
Digging and digging, under the base of the wall, a foot-long mouse was faintly revealed, and Erniu immediately dug up the soil with his hands frantically as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and the slightest gluttonous liquid continued to flow down from the corner of his mouth.
However, when he completely dug up the rat hole, there was nothing in front of him, and there was no living thing at all.
Erniu sat down on the ground, muttering to himself.
"Where's the mouse?
He still didn't give up and pulled it up in the soil, but suddenly it seemed to touch a few pieces of iron that were round on the outside and square on the inside, and he immediately pulled away the dirt and pulled it out.
In the black stream village.
A boy with a mouse-like beard emerges from an underground chamber and excitedly runs deeper into the cave, the sound echoing through the cave.
"Daddy, there's news from Grandma Gray, there's news from Grandma Gray!"
