Chapter 228 Have You Ever Escaped This Game?
"You... who are you?!"
The two asked warily.
Immediately, they felt a little stupid, because the other party had already reported their names.
Old Zhao, who was about to help, froze slightly.
"Avatars... Could it be that they are all clones of Daoist Qing Hui? But, where is the deity of Daoist Qing Hui...?"
He turned his head suddenly and looked into the depths of the Taoist temple.
Inexplicably, he only felt that in the layer upon layer of courtyards, there seemed to be a gaze quietly watching from the darkness.
At this moment, he couldn't help but get a chill down his spine.
Zhang Xiaofo and Zhang Xiaoyi were very straightforward, they 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, heaven, earth and man. Three lights, sun, moon and stars."
The three stood apart and formed a formation in an instant.
The Taiqing Talisman, Five-Color Divine Light, and Immortal-Zhan Feidao appeared beside them one after another.
Puzhi and Duyin's scalps were numb, but Ruyuan's momentum confronted each other, leaving them no room for maneuver.
If you retreat at this time, you will be completely defeated.
The only chance of survival is to break through the blockade of these three people head-on and find a way out.
"The crescent moon hangs in the sky, the way of the sun!"
"Buddha's golden body, with a thousand eyes!"
The two resorted to the method of pressing the bottom of the box, and suddenly attacked the three people on the opposite side.
However, Zhang Xiaofan smiled slightly, spreading the defense of the Book of the Earth to the three of them.
With a wave of Zhang Xiaoyi's hand, he scattered five-color divine light, sweeping away Yuehua and Qianmu light.
Zhang Xiaofo said softly: "Please turn around, baby."
A white light flashed past, and Puzhi and Duyin were frozen in place.
The Shennong Ding flew out and smashed the golden body, revealing Puzhi's figure.
With a light stab from the Shenyun Spear, the crescent moon shattered.
Zhang Xiaofan stepped out at random, with a vast radiance of Taiqing rippling out of his body, suppressing the two of them with a "boom".
"puff."
Puzhi and Duyin showed horror and spit out a mouthful of blood.
The two looked at each other, only to see cracks appearing on each other's face and body, they couldn't help pointing and shouting: "You...your..."
The next moment, they seemed to think of something at the same time, and hurriedly looked at themselves.
However, it was too late.
As soon as the bodies of the two trembled, they were crushed to pieces by the power of the Taiqing talisman, and scattered into flying ash with a "crash".
Not far away, Jueyuan and Duer turned pale with fright.
"escape!"
Not daring to delay any longer, the two turned around and left.
Zhang Xiaofan threw it out unhurriedly, and shouted: "Golden Jiao scissors!"
A piece of golden scissors flew out, opened and closed slightly in mid-air, and with a "click", the two people's bodies were suddenly broken in two.
Zhang Xiao opened his mouth and sucked, and the Taotie Dafa urged him to move.
The souls and flesh and blood of the two were swallowed up by it in an instant.
Then, he and Zhang Xiaofo bowed slightly to Zhang Xiaofan: "Fellow Daoist, fortunately I did not disgrace my life."
The three greeted each other.
Zhang Xiaoyi and Zhang Xiaofo flickered and disappeared in place.
The sky on Zhuoguang Mountain has completely returned to its original appearance.
The powerful Xuankong Temple and Taiyi Immortal Sect powerhouses who were originally invincible have all disappeared and disappeared.
Li Changshou called out respectfully: "Daoist Qing Hui, the wine is warm!"
The old Zhaotou and Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er, who were stunned, came back to their senses, and looked at the green-robed Taoist 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 shouted.
Zhao Linger and Old Zhaotou looked at each other, and each could see incredible admiration in their eyes.
"This Daoist Qinghui is really too mysterious..."
The girl thought secretly.
However, when she saw Li Xiaoyao who was so happy, she couldn't help smiling.
"Brother Xiaoyao really worshiped a good master.
"
Zhang Xiaofan landed beside the stone table, took a cup of wine, said with a smile: "Good wine! Old Zhao, come here, have a taste!"
The old Zhao Tou, who was smelling the aroma of the wine, was already itching, so he quickly picked up a glass, first took a sip, then took two sips, and then couldn't help but drink it in one sip.
"Bah - good wine! Good wine!"
He had never tasted such delicious wine, looked up at Zhang Xiaofan, and asked: "Daoist Qing Hui, could this wine come from the fairy world? Is it a fine nectar, rare in the world?"
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Xiaofan smiled happily, "No, this wine comes from the mortal world, it is brewed by mortals! Its name is... Maotai!"
Old Zhao froze while holding the wine cup.
This wine was actually brewed in the mortal world, but he has traveled all over the world, and he has never tasted it, let alone seen it.
"Moutai... Moutai... What kind of magical liquor is this?"
He muttered to himself, and then his eyes lit up, and he grabbed Li Changshou's flagon and poured it over.
The sounds 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 had defeated a powerful enemy.
"Everyone! Let's go, let's go to the Temple of the Spiritual Pivot to burn incense!"
Someone took the lead and shouted, followed by townspeople in an instant, their cheeks flushed, and they were very excited.
"That's the three sects...I didn't expect that all of them were defeated by Daoist Qing Hui!"
"Daoist Qing Hui, he is really a fairy-like figure!"
"This is my luck in Lingxi Town!"
"..."
And the result of today's battle, along with everyone's discussion and some secret eyeliners, quickly spread to the entire Jin Dynasty.
Monk Puzhi was very high-profile when he came here, passing through the three counties and announcing it to the four directions, everyone knew about it.
Now is the time for feedback.
...
Kyoto, Tingfenglou.
Cao Laoliu, who was drinking, received a note from his subordinates, opened it a little, then slapped the table suddenly, and shouted: "Everyone, something has 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 cast their gazes down.
The source of Cao Laoliu's news is extremely well-informed, and many aristocratic families, officials and sects have already guessed that there is a stronger force behind him.
At this time, they hadn't noticed any changes, but Cao Lao Liu had already received the news.
Cao Lao Liu, who was short in stature, laughed and said, "Will anyone treat me to a drink today?"
Everyone knew that this guy was taking the opportunity to rip off again, but in order to get the latest news, someone immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Brother Cao's expenses today, I will invite you!"
Cao Laoliu cupped his hands and thanked him: "Brother is generous!"
Then, he raised the information in his hand and said: "Everyone must have heard that just half a day ago, Zen Master Puzhi from Xuankong Temple traveled eastward and said that he was going to fight on Mount Zhuoguang to completely wipe out the spirits. Shu Guan!"
"But the result of this battle has not been announced for a long time, everyone must have been waiting for a long time!"
"And it just so happens that Cao has just received the news that the result of this battle has come out!"
When everyone heard the words, their eyes burst into light, and they all shouted: "The result is out?" "Haha, if you guessed right, the Xuankong Temple must have won!" Today..."
They didn't expect that Cao Lao Liu received the news about the battle between Xuankong Temple and Lingshu Temple.
However, obviously, everyone already knew the result of the outcome.
However, Cao Laoliu's next sentence completely shocked everyone.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, you guessed wrong!"
He proudly picked up the wine glass, poured it into his mouth, and then smashed it to the ground, shouting: "This battle, Lingshu has won!"
Everyone was taken aback by his cup throwing action.
"Hehe, the Spiritual Pivot has won the victory, I have already guessed... what?! You said that the Spiritual Pivot has won the victory!?"
Immediately, they reacted and shouted in disbelief.
Cao Laoliu spread out the information, showed it around, and said with a smile: "Yes, not only won, but also killed all four criminals in the future! These four are not ordinary people, but Puzhi and Jueyuan from Xuankong Temple Master, as well as Du Yin and Du Er from the Taiyi Immortal Sect!"
Everyone was stunned.
"Not only Xuankong Temple? People from Taiyi Immortal Sect also went this trip?"
"Puzhi, Jueyuan... Through their reputation, I heard that they have already sat in the Hanging Mountain and realized Zen, hoping to have a higher breakthrough!"
"There are also two real people, Duyin and Duer! They are too powerful, and the crescent moon is invincible! I didn't expect that even he was defeated!"
"Impossible! How could they lose at the hands of a little spiritual master!"
"..."
The people on the first, second and third floors of Tingfeng Building were all terrified.
They couldn't believe it, and they didn't dare to believe it.
"boom--"
Cao Laoliu suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "What? Don't you believe my Cao Laoliu's information? No matter what, then you just wait for half a day, I believe there will be more news from Dongling County Come!"
Only then did someone wake up.
"No way, no way, Brother Cao, we believe in you! I just don't know if there are any details about this battle, tell us to hear it?"
A diner complimented with flickering eyes.
Only then did Cao Laoliu chuckle, and looked at the subordinate who had just handed over 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 with bright eyes: "Everyone, this battle must start with Zen Master Puzhi leaving Beiyou County!"
Next, he told about the dispute between the two cases and his trip to Tangling County.
Everyone was shocked when they heard it.
This time, the Lingshu Temple has completely matched up with a behemoth like Sanzong!
"It's a pity that I can't go to the scene in person to witness this battle."
...
Dajin Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
A crimson knight hurried into the room and knelt down at the door: "Your Majesty, Dongling County is urgent!"
Empress Wu Mingxian was practicing calligraphy with a pen, without raising her eyes, she said, "Read."
The crimson knight quickly opened the scroll, took out the information, and read: "Puzhi and Jueyuan of Xuankong Temple, Duyin and Duer of Taiyi Immortal Gate, a group of four, set off from Xidang County and Beiyou County, after meeting All the way to the east, it is announced that this trip will climb Zhuoguang Mountain and level the Lingshu Temple."
"Daoist Qing Hui, dressed in a green robe, went out to fight."
"The two sides fought for several rounds, Xuankong Temple and Taiyi Xianmen were defeated, so they joined forces to fight."
"At this time, two strong men appeared at the invitation of Daoist Qing Hui, calling themselves Zhang Xiaofo and Zhang Xiaoyi."
"The Xuankong Temple and the Taiyi Immortal Sect lost a lot. They couldn't escape in time, and they died on the spot."
"Immediately, Daoist Qing Hui flew back to the Lingshu Temple in Desheng, and the voice of 'good wine' came out from time to time, and he was in a good mood."
Empress Wu Mingxian paused for an instant.
"Puzhi, Jueyuan, Duyin, Duer... two Dao body realms, two Yangshen realms?"
There was a bit of questioning in her eyes.
The crimson knight hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there are indeed two Dao Body Realm and two Yang God Realm powerhouses."
The royal study could not help falling into silence.
Such a lineup of strong men is enough to flatten a county of the Jin Dynasty.
Even the Red Flame Demon Sect, Hehuan Sect and Ten Thousand Monsters Valley are hard to match.
However, they lost?
The crimson knight knelt on the spot quietly, not daring to raise her head, not even daring to vent her breath, waiting for the empress' will.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Wu Mingxian suddenly uttered good characters three times in a row, and then swiped sharply with his pen, making crosses left and right on the paper.
This fork directly rejected the handwriting that was originally practiced.
"The order continues, the borders of the current imperial dynasty are unstable, and our Great Jin Dynasty is in danger! Since this Buddhist sect pays attention to the universal salvation of all living beings, it is better to go to my Great Jin Dynasty first!"
The empress' voice sounded in the imperial study room, revealing a sense of coldness.
"Today, with my edict, I declare to the world that the Buddhist Temple is ordered to donate all the money, grain, grass, and treasures to fill our treasury of the Great Jin Dynasty, so as to prepare for wartime needs!"
"Offenders, the temple will be confiscated, and the prison will be knocked down!"
The crimson knight trembled all over, His Majesty... actually planned to attack Buddhism? !
this……
A few months ago, didn't His Majesty promulgate the edict of "respecting Buddha and restraining Taoism"? Now, the current situation has reversed, and the Buddhism has been directly drawn from the bottom of the pot? !
She didn't understand what was going on, but she didn't dare to ask.
So the crimson cavalry quickly responded loudly: "Yes, this subordinate obeys!"
Then, she took two steps back and hurried down to deliver the order.
Now that the Holy Majesty's oral order has been issued, there will naturally be a draft draft by the Chinese Academy after the event, and it will be officially announced to the world.
And this world... I'm afraid it's about to change!
After the crimson knight receded, Wu Mingxian set his eyes on the paper in front of him.
The word for practice is the word "Buddha", 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 room.
The empress casually took a book in the corner, and stretched out her hand to caress it.
Inscribed on it are the five big characters of "On the Treasury's Diligence and Wealth".
Buddhism is different from Taoism. Offering incense, cultivating the golden body, and raising money for charity are all ways to get rich.
It can be said that the world is poor and Buddhism is rich.
Now that the Jin Dynasty has experienced successive Northern Expeditions and the treasury is empty, how can it tolerate the flow of all the money in the world to Buddhism.
Therefore, the so-called respecting Buddhism and restraining Taoism is just to let Buddhism jump out first, gather money from the world, and then the Jin Dynasty will completely smash it in the name of the court.
The chaos on the border and the crisis in the internal affairs were alleviated all of a sudden.
This is the true intention of Great Jin Empress Wu Mingxian!
It's a pity that Zhang Ming, who wanted to avoid his layout, didn't know that even if he returned to Zhuoguang Mountain Spirit Pivot Temple and sat in seclusion, ignoring world affairs, he still couldn't escape the empress' chess game after all.
Or, not the Empress.
It's the former master of Lingshu... Tai Xuzi's chess game!
Wu Mingxian gripped the book tightly, and sighed softly: "Taixuzi, Taixuzi, even if you die, you can still play with the world in the palm of your hand."
