Chapter 6: The Price of Growth (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Zhongnan Mountain, Chongyang Palace.
At this time, it was already nightfall, Yin Zhiping sat on the futon and flipped through the Taoist treasures, he had been to the Chongyang Palace for more than half a year, this young man from Laizhou was intoxicated with Taoist classics, like a robber entering a treasure trove full of gold and silver, he was hungry to absorb the Taoist jīnghua.
Of course, this is not to say that he is ignorant of what is happening around him, the intelligent Yin Mansion Gongzi since he was a child understands the open and secret battles in Chongyang Palace, but he doesn't think that he will become the protagonist, he came to Chongyang Palace to spread the Quanzhen Doctrine and strengthen the Quanzhen Sect, as for the candidate for the head of the sect, he thinks that the current head of the sect is very good.
Just as he was thinking about Song Daoan, there was a knock at the door.
"Is Uncle Yin resting?" a voice sounded outside.
Yin Zhiping heard that this was a Taoist boy who was in charge of chores in Pingrì, and because of his seniority, the young disciples in the Quanzhen Sect had to call him Senior Uncle, which made Yin Zhiping feel isolated, and many Quanzhen disciples felt that he was just because he had a good master.
"What's the matter?" asked Yin Zhiping.
"The head of the teacher invited Uncle Shi to come over, and there are important matters to discuss. The boy replied.
Since it was the invitation of the head of the sect, Yin Zhiping did not dare to slack off, in order to win over Yin Zhiping, these rì sons Song Daoan would often talk to this young man and talk about some affairs of the Quanzhen Sect, and he had the intention of entrusting the position of head of the sect to Yin Zhiping.
Yin Zhiping got up and went out, followed Daotong to the courtyard where Song Daoan lived, Daotong opened the courtyard door and invited the little uncle to go in, but he stayed at the gate of the courtyard.
He felt a little weird along the way, the surroundings seemed to be too quiet, but thinking that it was already night, he didn't care, he came to Song Daoan's door, knocked lightly, there was no sound inside, could it be that the head of the sect was not in the house for a while?
Yin Zhiping was a little hesitant, should he wait at the door or go back first? Yin Zhiping, who was guarding the etiquette, decided to wait at the door, and this was the work of a cup of tea, but Song Daoan still did not come back.
He decided to go back first, and just as he turned around to leave, there was a noise outside the courtyard, and a group of Quanzhen disciples entered the courtyard, as if they had made a fuss about something and wanted to ask to see the master to make a decision.
"The head teacher is not in the room. Yin Zhiping said to this group of Quanzhen disciples.
However, this group of Quanzhen disciples did not have any respect for this little uncle, one of them stepped forward and recklessly pushed open Song Daoan's door, and then let out an exclamation, everyone was attracted by the exclamation, and looked towards the door, only to see Song Daoan, the Quanzhen Sect Leader, lying on the ground, with a sharp sword in his chest.
"It's you, it's you who killed the Sect Leader!" The Quanzhen disciple who pushed the door pointed at Yin Zhiping and scolded angrily, "You just said that the Sect Leader was not in the room, and the Sect Master was killed by you." ”
"Yin Zhiping killed the Sect Leader, don't let this thief go!" shouted a disciple in the crowd.
For a while, Yin Zhiping was a little stunned, he quickly recalled what happened tonight, why did that disciple dare to directly push open Song Daoan's door? This is not in accordance with the rules, he suddenly realized, he was undoubtedly caught in a plot, in the face of the passionate Quanzhen disciples, he wanted to justify, but those people did not give him a chance to defend, several Quanzhen disciples had already drawn their swords and besieged him.
He knew that these people were all Quanzhen disciples who were close to Zhao Zhijing, and this conspiracy was naturally arranged by Zhao Zhijing, at this time he was speechless, and Zhao Zhijing would not give him a chance to defend himself, as long as he killed him, the charge of murdering the sect leader would never be cleared away.
Facing the oncoming long sword, Yin Zhiping stretched out his palms and met him, he can't die now, he wants to live to expose Zhao Zhijing's scheme, and teach justice.
The young man surnamed Yin from Laizhou, Shandong Province showed extraordinary martial arts for the first time in front of people, he coped with it easily under the siege of dozens of Quanzhen disciples, his body was like a swimming fish shuttling in the shadow of the sword, his palms came out, and he shook the attacking sword, he just learned martial arts with Zhou Botong for less than two years.
Zhao Zhijing, who was hiding in the shadows, was surprised, he didn't expect Yin Zhiping's martial arts to be so high, he actually had the level of a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, could it be the martial arts in the "Nine Yīn True Scripture"?
This thought appeared in Zhao Zhijing's mind, that night, Ouyang Feng forced Zhou Botong to recite the first volume of the true scriptures, Zhao Zhijing listened vaguely to the side, and then began to practice, but he didn't remember it completely, and the first volume was an internal strength method, which didn't help him much, but his skills improved.
It seems that Yin Zhiping has indeed obtained the true inheritance of Master Zhou, Zhao Zhijing guessed.
Tonight is the moment for him to implement the plan, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, Zhao Zhijing first came to Song Daoan's room to make a deep confession to the master of the sect, crying that he should not betray the Quanzhen Sect, should not take refuge in the Jin State, in order to win Song Daoan's trust, he also said that Yang Kang was ready to split the Quanzhen Sect.
"I am still a true disciple, and I must not do anything to split the sect, otherwise how will I face the Chongyang Patriarch and my master. Zhao Zhijing said righteously.
Song Daoan was indifferent to Zhao Zhijing's performance, he thought that this was another new trick, when Zhao Zhijing pointed out to Ouyang Feng where the retreat of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen was located, and led the Quanzhen Tribulation, which was already equivalent to apostasy, but under the pressure of the Jin Imperial Court, Song Daoan could not punish Zhao Zhijing, Zhao Zhijing was equivalent to the representative of the Jin Imperial Court in the Quanzhen Sect, but he would not believe Zhao Zhijing.
But the head of the Quanzhen Sect didn't expect that Zhao Zhijing was not just a performance, but also a killing machine, until a sharp sword was inserted into Song Daoan's chest, he still couldn't believe that Zhao Zhijing would attack him, wasn't that prince in Chang'an City afraid of the revenge of the Northern Beggars and the Eastern Evil?
Song Daoan thought that this was Yang Kang's instigation when he was dying, because Qiu Chuji had a three-year agreement, and Song Daoan was not prepared, which allowed Zhao Zhijing to succeed in one blow.
Then Zhao Zhijing arranged the scene, left the room, asked Daotong to attract Yin Zhiping, and then arranged for someone to break into Song Daoan's room, found Song Daoan's body, and then accused Yin Zhiping of murdering Song Daoan, this is the whole plan, as long as Yin Zhiping is killed now, this matter will be completed.
Yin Zhiping looked at more and more Quanzhen disciples, and knew that he would not be able to wash away his grievances tonight, so he no longer entangled with those people, but unfolded his body to shuttle through the crowd, leaving Song Daoan's courtyard and fleeing towards the outside of Chongyang Palace.
This night, Chongyang Palace was in chaos.
Only two years later, Chongyang Palace suffered another catastrophe, the difference is that the last time it was Ouyang Feng, this time it was Zhao Zhijing, the little man who was trembling for his life at the beginning has now grown into the protagonist of the incident.
In the dark, Zhao Zhijing stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the direction of Yin Zhiping's escape, and looked back at Chongyang Palace, where he would be in charge in the future. (To be continued.) )
