MTL - Pretending To Be a Holy Place, I Was Signed For a Thousand Years-Chapter 229 Have you ever escaped this chess game?
Chapter 229 Have you ever escaped this chess game?
"You... who are you?!"
The two asked cautiously.
Immediately, they felt a little stupid because the other party had already given their name.
Lao Zhaotou, who was ready to help, was slightly stunned.
"Clone... Could it be that they are all clones of Daoist Qinghui? But, where is the deity of Daoist Qinghui...where!?"
He turned his head abruptly and looked into the depths of the Taoist temple.
Inexplicably, he only felt that in the layered courtyard, there seemed to be a gaze quietly looking at it from the darkness.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
Zhang Xiaofo and Zhang Xiaoyi were very straightforward, looked at each other and said with a smile, "Let's do it!"
Then, Shennong Ding and Shenyun Spear appeared in their hands.
"Three talents, people of heaven and earth. Three lights, sun, moon and stars."
The three of them stood apart and formed a formation in an instant.
The Taiqing Rune, the Five-color Divine Light, and the Sword of Immortal Slaying appeared one after another by their side.
Puzhi and Duyin's scalps were numb, but Ruyuan's aura confronted each other, so they had no room to maneuver.
If you retreat at this time, you will be completely defeated.
The only chance for is to break the blockade of these three people head-on and find a way out.
"The crescent moon hangs in the sky, the Taoist method of Taiyin!"
"Buddha's golden body, thousands of eyes!"
The two used the means of pressing the bottom of the box and suddenly attacked the three people on the opposite side.
However, Zhang Xiaofan smiled slightly and spread the defense of the book to the three of them.
Zhang Xiaoyi waved his hand and cast five-colored divine light, sweeping away the light of Yuehua and Qianmu.
Zhang Xiaofo said softly, "Please turn around, baby."
The white light flashed by, and Puzhi and Duyin were both held in place.
Shennong Ding flew out and smashed the golden body directly, revealing Puzhi's figure.
Shenyun spear stabbed lightly, and the meniscus shattered.
Zhang Xiaofan stepped out at random, with the vast Taiqing divine radiance rippling out from his body, suppressing the two of them with a "bang".
"Pfft."
Puzhi and Duyin were shocked and spit out a mouthful of blood.
The two looked at each other and saw cracks appearing on each other's face and body, and they couldn't help pointing and shouting, "You... your..."
The next moment, they seemed to remember something at the same time, and hurriedly looked at themselves.
But, it's too late.
The two of them trembled, and they were crushed by the power of the Taiqing Talisman, and they scattered into ashes with a "crashing".
Jueyuan and Du'e, who were not far away, turned pale with fright.
"Escape!"
The two of them didn't dare to delay any longer, they turned around and left.
Zhang Xiaofan unhurriedly threw it out and shouted, "Golden Jiao Scissors!"
A pair of golden scissors flew out, opened and closed slightly in the air, and with a "click" sound, the two bodies were suddenly broken in two.
Zhang Xiao opened his mouth and took a breath, gluttonous Dafa urged him.
The souls and flesh and blood of the two were swallowed up in an instant.
Then, he and Zhang Xiaofo gave a slight bow to Zhang Xiaofan: "Fellow Daoist, fortunately not to be humiliated."
The three of them greeted each other.
Zhang Xiaoyi and Zhang Xiaofo flickered and disappeared in place.
The sky above Zhuoguang Mountain has completely returned to its original appearance.
The powerhouses of Xuankong Temple and Taiyi Immortal Sect, who were once invincible, have disappeared and disappeared.
Li Changshou called respectfully: "Daoist Qing Hui, the wine is warm!"
Old Zhao Tou, Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger, who were stunned, came to their senses, and looked at the Taoist Qingpao above in horror.
"Master! Master... You are so strong! I want to be such a strong man when I grow up!"
Li Xiaoyao was the first to jump up and shout.
Zhao Linger and Lao Zhaotou looked at each other, each seeing incredible admiration in their eyes.
"This Taoist priest of Qinghui is too mysterious..."
The girl thought to herself.
However, when she saw Li Xiaoyao who was so happy, she couldn't help but smile.
"Brother Xiaoyao really worshipped a good master."
Zhang Xiaofan landed on the stone table, took a sip of the wine cup, and said with a smile, "Good wine! Old Zhaotou, come here, come and taste it!"
Lao Zhaotou, who was smelling the aroma of the wine, was already itching for a long time. He quickly picked up a cup, first took a small sip, then took two sips, and then he couldn't help but dry it with one sip.
"Bah—good wine! Good wine!"
He has never tasted such a delicious wine, looked up at Zhang Xiaofan and asked, "Daoist Qing Hui, does this wine come from the fairy world? It's a nectar and jade liquid, which is rare in the world?"
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Xiaofan said with a cheerful smile, "No, this wine comes from the mortal world, it is brewed by mortals! Its name is... Maotai!"
Lao Zhao was stunned with the wine cup on his head.
This wine is actually brewed in the mortal world, but he has traveled all over the world, and he has never tasted it, let alone seen it.
"Maotai... Maotai... What kind of magical liquor is this?"
He muttered to himself, and then his eyes lit up, grabbing Li Changshou's jug and dumping it.
The voices of wine tasting and laughter sounded in the Lingshu Temple.
The people in Lingxi Town couldn't help cheering when they saw that Daoist Qing Hui defeated a strong enemy.
"Everyone! Let's go, let's go to the Lingshu Temple for incense!"
Someone took the lead and shouted, and immediately followed the townspeople behind him, his cheeks flushed and he was very excited.
"That's the three sects... I didn't expect that they were all defeated in the hands of Daoist Qing Hui!"
"Qing Hui Daoist, he is really a fairy-like figure!"
"This is the luck of my Lingxi Town!"
“…”
And the result of today's battle was quickly spread to the entire Jin Dynasty with everyone's talk and some secret eyeliners.
Monk Puzhi was very high-profile when he came. He passed the three counties and announced to the four directions that the trouble had already been known to everyone.
Now is the time to give feedback.
…
Kyoto, Tingfenglou.
Cao Laoliu, who was drinking, received the note from his subordinates. He opened it a little and slammed the table abruptly, shouting, "Everyone, something happened!"
The diners around were shocked and asked, "Cao Lao Liu, is there any new news?"
The people on the second and third floors also heard it from a distance, and couldn't help but look down.
This Cao Laoliu's source of information is extremely well-informed, and many aristocratic families, officials and sects have long guessed that there is a stronger force behind him.
At this time, they hadn't noticed any changes, and this Cao Laoliu had already received the news.
Cao Laoliu, with a short stature, laughed and said, "Did someone invite me to a drink today?"
Everyone knew that this guy was taking advantage of the opportunity again, but for the latest news, someone immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Brother Cao's one-off expenses today, you will be invited!"
Cao Laoliu bowed his hands and thanked him, "Brother, you are so cool!"
Then, he raised the information in his hand and said: "Everyone must have heard that just half a day ago, the Zen Master Puzhi of the Hanging Temple traveled all the way east, saying that he was going to climb Zhuoguang Mountain to fight and destroy the spirit completely. Pivot!"
"But the result of this battle has not come out for a long time, everyone must have been waiting for a long time!"
"As it happens, Cao has just received the news that the result of this battle has come out!"
When everyone heard the words, their eyes burst with light, and they all shouted: "The result is out?" "Haha, if you guess correctly, it must be the Xuankong Temple victory!" "Unfortunately, a generation of Tianjiao Qinghui Taoist priest is about to fall. Today..."
They did not expect that what Cao Laoliu received was actually news about the battle between Xuankong Temple and Lingshuguan.
However, obviously, everyone already knows the outcome of the outcome.
However, Cao Laoliu's next sentence completely shocked everyone.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, you guessed wrong!"
He proudly raised the wine glass, poured it into his mouth, and then smashed it to the ground, shouting, "In this battle, Lingshu Guan won!"
Everyone was stunned by his cup-throwing action.
"Hehe, Lingshu Guan won, I guessed... what?! You said Lingshu Guan won!?"
Immediately, they reacted and shouted incredulously.
Cao Laoliu spread out the information, showed it to the surrounding, and said with a smile: "Yes, not only won, but also killed all four in the future! These four are not ordinary people, but Puzhi and Jueyuan from Xuankong Temple. Master, and the two real people Duyin and Du'er of Taiyi Immortal Sect!"
Everyone was stunned.
"Not only the Hanging Temple? There are people from Taiyi Xianmen who also went here this time?"
"Puzhi, Jueyuan... Through their reputations, I heard that they have long been sitting on the hanging mountain to realize Zen, hoping to have a higher breakthrough!"
"And the two real people Duyin and Du'e! It's too stubborn, the crescent moon is invincible! I didn't expect even him to be defeated!"
"Impossible! How could they be defeated by a small Spirit Pivot Viewer!"
“…”
Hearing the people on the first, second and third floors of Fenglou, they were all horrified.
They couldn't believe it and couldn't believe it.
"boom--"
Cao Laoliu slammed the table and shouted: "What? Do you guys don't believe my Cao Laoliu's information? It doesn't matter, then you wait another half a day, I believe there will be more news coming from Dongling County. !"
At this time, someone woke up.
"There's no way, there's no way, Brother Cao, we believe you! I just don't know if there are any details of this battle, tell us about it?"
A diner complimented with twinkling eyes.
Cao Lao Liu smiled and looked at the subordinate who just handed in the information.
The man nodded slightly, and took out a more detailed scroll from his sleeve, which contained a lot of records.
Cao Laoliu opened it, and smiled brightly: "Everyone, this battle must start with Chan Master Puzhi's departure from Beiyou County!"
Next, he recounted the two disputes and his trip to Dongling County.
Everyone was shocked when they heard it.
Lingshu Guan was completely confronted with a behemoth like Sanzong this time!
"Unfortunately, I couldn't be there to witness this battle in person."
…
Dajin Palace, Imperial Study Room.
A crimson rider hurried into the room and knelt down at the door: "Your Majesty, there is an emergency report from Dongling County!"
Empress Wu Mingxian was writing and practicing calligraphy, and said without raising her eyes, "Read."
The crimson rider hurriedly opened the reel, took out information from it, and read: "Puzhi, Jueyuan, Taiyi Xianmen Duyin and Du'er, a group of four, set out from Xidang County and Beiyou County, after meeting. Going all the way to the east, we announce that we will go to Zhuoguang Mountain and step on the Lingshu Temple."
"Qing Hui Daoist dressed in green robes and went out to fight."
"The two sides fought for several rounds, and Xuankong Temple and Taiyi Xianmen lost to each other, so they joined forces to fight."
"At this time, two strong men appeared at the invitation of Qing Huidao, calling themselves Zhang Xiaofo and Zhang Xiaoyi."
"The four people of Xuankong Temple and Taiyi Immortal Sect were defeated and lost. They couldn't escape in time, and they died on the spot."
"Immediately, the Taoist priest of Qing Hui flew back to Lingshu Temple victoriously, and the sound of 'good wine' was heard from time to time, and he was in a good mood."
Empress Wu Mingxian's strokes froze instantly.
"Puzhi, Jueyuan, Duyin, Du'e... Two Taoist realms and two Yangshen realms?"
There was a hint of questioning in her eyes.
The crimson cavalry hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there are indeed two Taoist realm and two Yangshen realm powerhouses."
The imperial study could not help but fall into silence.
Such a strong lineup is enough to pacify a county in the Dajin Dynasty.
Even the Scarlet Fire Demon Sect, Hehuan Sect, and Ten Thousand Demons Valley are hard to match.
But, they actually lost?
The crimson knight knelt quietly on the spot, daring not to raise his head or even to let out the air, waiting for the queen's will.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Wu Mingxian suddenly said three good words in a row, and then he swiped his brush sharply and made a fork left and right on the paper.
This fork directly rejects the handwriting that was originally practiced.
"The order goes on, the borders of the current dynasty are unstable, and my Jin Dynasty is in danger! Since this Buddhist school pays attention to purifying all sentient beings, it is better to cross my Jin Dynasty first!"
The voice of the Empress sounded in the imperial study, revealing a cold meaning.
"Now, by my edict, I declare to the world that I order the Buddhist Temple to raise money, food, grass and treasures to fill the treasury of the Great Jin State to prepare for the war!"
"Violators, confiscate the temple and shoot down the prison!"
The Crimson Rider trembled, Your Majesty... planning to attack Buddhism? !
This……
A few months ago, didn't His Majesty promulgate the edict of "cultivating Buddhism and suppressing Taoism"? Now, the current affairs have reversed, and there has been a direct draw to Buddhism? !
She didn't understand what happened, but she didn't dare to ask.
So the crimson rider quickly responded loudly: "Yes, my subordinates obey!"
Then, she took two steps back and hurried down to give orders.
Now that the sage's oral edict has been issued, there will naturally be a draft by the Middle School after the event, which will be officially announced to the world.
And this world... I'm afraid it's going to change!
After the crimson rider retreated, Wu Mingxian set his eyes on the paper in front of him.
The word for practice is a "Buddha" word, but now it has been crossed out by a big "cross".
"Tai Xuzi, everything is much earlier than you expected. You have a good apprentice..."
A soft sigh sounded in the imperial study.
The Empress took a book from the corner of the desk and rubbed it with her hand.
There are five big characters written on it, "On the Wealth of the Treasury".
Buddhism is different from Taoism, offering incense, cultivating golden body, and raising money for charity. It is a road to prosperity.
It can be said that the world is poor, and Buddhism is rich.
Now that the Great Jin Dynasty has been going through the Northern Expedition in a row, the treasury is empty, how can it be tolerated that all the money in the world flows to Buddhism.
Therefore, the so-called worship of Buddhism and suppression of Taoism is just to let Buddhism jump out first and gather the wealth of the world, and then the Jin Dynasty will use the name of the imperial court to fight it thoroughly.
The border turmoil and the crisis in internal affairs were eased all at once.
This is the real intention of Wu Mingxian, the female emperor of Jin Dynasty!
Unfortunately, Zhang Ming, who wanted to avoid its layout, didn't know that even if he returned to Zhuoguangshan Lingshu Temple, sat in retreat, and did not ask about world affairs, he would still not be able to escape the chess game of Her Majesty the Empress.
Or, not the Empress.
is the former master of Lingshu Guan... Taixuzi's chess game!
Wu Mingxian clenched the book all of a sudden, and sighed softly: "Tai Xuzi, Tai Xuzi, even if you die, you can still play with the world in the palm of your hand."
