Chapter 156
In the past, depending on the number of participants, the Taoist martial arts performance would normally last for two or three days. However, this year's Taoist martial arts performance, due to the appearance of Jiang Xun and Wangchuan, as well as the disciples of the sects such as Taixu Temple and Yunmengze, have not participated, so they have come to an end.
On the Taoist stage, Zhao Wuji looked down at everyone below the stage. After a brief cliché summary, Zhao Wuji announced the final results of the Taoist martial arts competition. "Next, I will announce the top three of this Taoist martial arts competition, Wangchuan..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard an old and hoarse voice coming from afar, "Slow up!" Everyone looked at the sound and saw a short and fat old man flying over on a golden wheel, followed by several middle-aged men. Seeing the arrival's fierce momentum, Zhao Wuji asked, "Brother An Dao, he would come here for a long distance, what's the matter?"
"Brother Zhao, An came here today for no reason." The short and fat old man showed a silly smile on his face, but his eyes remained on Wangchuan. He sighed with a pretentious manner and said, "It's shameful to say that the life cards of the two elders and a deacon of my Wuji Sect were broken a few days ago, and they suffered an unexpected accident."
When Wangchuan heard this, his face was shocked, and he knew that the short and fat old man in front of him was coming to seek punishment. Zhao Wuji glanced at Wangchuan, looked at the short and fat old man and said, "Oh? Who is so bold? Brother An Dao can find out clearly?"
"I'm not hiding it from Brother Zhao, An came for this matter." The short and fat old man turned his head and looked at Wangchuan, "If you don't know what to do unless you do it, this little fellow Taoist, do you have nothing to say to An? "
An Zengshou, the elder of Wuji Sect, had already caused an uproar. At this moment, when he heard that the two elders and a deacon of Wuji Sect were killed, An Zengshou was even more surprised. "Did Wangchuan kill the elders of Wuji Sect?"
"If you can serve as an elder in Wuji Sect, your cultivation level is at least the Great Perfection of Taixu Realm. Even if you are a deacon, your cultivation level must at least reach the middle stage of Taixu Realm. Although Wangchuan has good cultivation level, he has to kill two elders of Taixu Realm and a deacon in the middle stage of Taixu Realm. How is this possible?"
"If Elder An appears here, he must have found out the truth. This matter is probably unrelated to Wangchuan."
"Stop guessing, let's take a look first."
“…”
Everyone in the audience whispered and talked a lot. Wangchuan was ashamed of his heart and told everyone that everything was impossible. He looked at An Zengshou, who was smiling and said frankly: "That's right, Duan Qixuan, Ruan Wucheng, Tang Palace, and other disciples who did evil deeds in your Wuji Sect were all killed by me, but I am ashamed of my heart. If Senior An wants to avenge them, although his cultivation is low, he is not afraid of death."
"I am ashamed of my heart? Ning Ji is a disciple of my Wuji Sect. Is it wrong for him to ask Lian to get his own things back? As an elder of the master sect, Duan Qixuan and Ruan Wucheng, Tang Palace and his disciples to help Ning Ji? You are young and do not argue about good and evil, and you are greedy for evil and malicious when you see treasures. What is the difference between you and the devil? If An did not remove the mistake, the thunder spirit bead would be on you, right?" An Zengshou asked.
Wangchuan couldn't help laughing, "Senior An's skill in turning his back is the pinnacle, and it sounds better than singing. Are you bringing people here to seek punishment today just for this thunder spirit bead?" As he said that, Wangchuan summoned the thunder spirit bead. Although An Zengshou hid it well, the greed flashed in his eyes had already been noticed by those who were interested. Wangchuan continued to sarcastically: "If you really want this thunder spirit bead, you can speak frankly, why should you be so hypocritical?"
"What a slight eloquent bit! Duan Qixuan, Ruan Wucheng will never die at your hands. He said, who helped you commit the crime? You'd better give honest explanation. An can also give you some pleasure, otherwise he will teach you that he will not be able to survive!"
Seeing this, Ouyang Feiyu wanted to go up to explain. Wangchuan passed her a look and told her not to act rashly, "I killed people, believe it or not. I respect you and call you Senior An. Today I saw what the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. An Zengshou, whether it is avenge, or a plan to plot against this thunder spirit pearl, if you are not afraid that the people in the world will laugh at you for bullying the small ones, then take action. Anyway, the truth and right or wrong are nothing to people like you."
"Children Huangkou, looking for death!" As he said that, An Zengshou was about to take action, and Zhao Wuji took action to stop him. "Brother An Dao, killing people is just a lie. Since the matter has happened, we must always find out the whole story. Zhao believes that Wangchuan is definitely not a bloodthirsty person."
"Brother Zhao, are you going to care about my Wuji Sect?" Although An Zengshou still had a smile on his face, everyone present read the danger from his eyes.
"Brother An Dao, Zhao is naturally inconvenient to interfere in the Wuji Sect's affairs, but Wangchuan is the top of this year's Taoist martial arts performance. How can the emperor's disciple be killed here at will? Brother An Dao, you shouldn't let Zhao make things difficult."
Zhao Wuji's words made An Zengshou feel scruples. He sneered, "A man, I will give you my face."
Zhao Wuji turned around and patted Wangchuan on the shoulder, and said in a straight voice: "Wangchuan, let me tell you what the truth is, and you are not allowed to hide it. If you really commit crimes, Zhao will not spare you."
Wangchuan nodded and told all the things that happened in the Jingzhou City. When everyone heard about it, they scoffed at the behavior of the Wuji Sect and accused Wuji Sect of being shameless and bullying the civilians who were powerless to tie a chicken.
"If you allow the Tang Palace to kill the Lian clan and the bright world, what is the law of heaven? An Zengshou, if it were you, how should you deal with yourself when you encounter such a situation?" Wangchuan looked serious and said righteously.
"One-sided words are not trustworthy. The case of the Ningguo Duke has been decades. How could you, a child with a stinky and stinky yellow mouth, know that back then? Besides, if Lian was not guilty, how could he swallow his anger? Lian Fengxiao was the commander of Dongsheng of the Wild Fire Camp back then. If his descendants say a word, the Wild Fire Camp can sit still without hesitation?" A man next to An Zengshou sacrificed his magic weapon and argued in anger.
"One-sided words are indeed not worthy of trust. Everything can be discussed, but what can you do if you allow Ning Ji to bully people with power and hurt people's lives? For a thunder spirit bead, the Tang Palace not only sent people to intercept me, but also personally threatened me to hand over the practice of martial arts. Is this the behavior that a righteous man should do?" Wangchuan paused and continued, "Don't forget, what kind of people will have what kind of words and deeds? Your hard-working plot will eventually leave both people and money, and now you will reveal this ugly face?"
"Boy, you are deliberately trying to get along with our Wuji Sect, right? Lei Lingzhu is Ning Ji's family inheritance. You are not qualified to take it for yourself, hand it over it quickly!"
"You want the Lei Lingzhu, come and get it yourself!" Wangchuan sneered.
An Zengshoubian scolded the disciples beside him and said, "An underestimated you. As you said, there is a misunderstanding in the case of Ningguo Gong. If you don't mediate and persuade me, you will use any means to kill my disciples of Wuji Sect. What is the reason? What are their grudges with you? You will deprive others of the right to survive at will and are bloodthirsty. Don't you feel any guilt in your heart?"
Wangchuan laughed loudly, "Senior An, this is exactly what I want to ask you. Why do people from your Wuji Sect harm innocent people and trample on others wantonly? Where is your conscience? If time and space can turn back, I will still do this!"
"Random!" An Zengshou was furious. As the elder of Wuji Sect, he heard the scolding of a young boy who had just started a new cottage. "Zhao Wuji, even if you stop him today, An will take the child's life!"
Just when Zhao Wuji was about to stop him, an acquaintance fell from the air. The person who came was Zhu Gaozhao, the elder of Taixu Temple, wearing a black and white Taoist robe, a whisk with his fingers, and he looked quite fairy-like. Several Taixu Temple disciples were also followed by him. One of them knew him. It was Liu Xisheng who was fleeing from Fengnan wings.
Zhu Gaozhao stroked a squeak of white beards, nodded slightly to Wangchuan, and then said, "An Zengshou, do you want to take the life of this young friend? Have you ever asked me if I agree?"
An Zengshou suppressed the anger in his heart, "Zhu Gaozhao, what do you mean?"
Zhu Gaozhao ignored An Zengshou, but walked to Wangchuan, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "My friend, thank you for saving Xiaotu's life. Sheng'er, I've just come to see you!"
Liu Xisheng bowed his head and bowed, "Feng Nanyi, thank you for your help, Xi Shengming is touching the Wuwen!" Wangchuan hurriedly replied, "Miss Liu is so serious."
Zhu Gaozhao took out a wooden box the size of a palm from his wide Taoist robe, and the rich fragrance of medicine came to his face, "My friend, this is the Taixu Dragon and Tiger Pill of Taixu Temple. I am very careful and I don't respect you. I hope you can accept it." Wangchuan refused repeatedly: "Senior, I will never accept such a generous gift."
"Brother Gao Zhao, you can even give out the Taixu Dragon and Tiger Pill, this is not like you!" Zhao Wuji said with a smile and clasped his fists.
"I have accepted such a precious apprentice. If it weren't for this little friend, I would have really wanted a white-haired person to send a black-haired person." Zhu Gaozhao smiled and said. Zhao Wuji took the Taixu Dragon and Tiger Pill from Zhu Gaozhao and handed it to Wangchuan, "Wangchuan, you don't have to be polite to Brother Gaozhao, the elders can't refuse."
"This..." Wangchuan looked at Zhu Gaozhao and Zhao Wuji with some embarrassment. Liu Xisheng said, "Wangchuan, please accept it." Seeing Liu Xisheng say this, Wangchuan took over the Taixu Dragon and Tiger Pill, and respectfully Zhu Gaozhao said, "Thank you for your kind gift. If you refuse again, you will be ignorant of your praise."
Zhu Gaozhao nodded while stroking her beard, then turned to look at An Zengshou, "An Zengshou, I just heard that you are going to make things difficult for this little friend? If you sell me two parts of a thin person, this matter will be exposed. Otherwise, I will have to compete with you."
"Zhu Gaozhao, Wuji Sect and Taixu Temple have always been in trouble. I hope you don't interfere in today's affairs. Otherwise, it will be good for anyone to provoke a fight between the two sects!" An Zengshou did not expect that Wangchuan and Taixu Temple were involved, so Zhu Gaozhao even broke up and wanted to protect Wangchuan. He could only use the struggle of the sect to coerce Zhu Gaozhao.
"Oh, the sect dispute, well, I really can't afford this loss." Zhu Gaozhao looked up at the last beam of light that was about to sink into the darkness. Seeing this, Zhu Gaozhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was scared Zhu Gaozhao. Zhu Gaozhao suddenly said: "Sheng'er, I am a little older. You can read the teachings of Taixu Temple to my teacher."
Liu Xisheng replied: "Given the mysterious method of Yin and Yang, and get along with the immortal spirit without fear."
"Well, it's not bad, it's not bad." Zhu Gaozhao turned his head and looked at Liu Xisheng and asked seriously: "Sheng'er, do you know why the ancestors of the founding school established these two doctrines?"
"Master, everyone in the world says that Taixu cultivators are introverted and walk in the center of good and evil. The disciples understand that whether it is power, eternity, survival, or destruction, it is just a passing cloud for a Taixu disciple." Liu Xisheng said.
"Well said! The dark heart returns to Taixu, and the heaven and earth are with each other. Yin and Yang control all spirits, and Dugu allows me to do it. Sheng'er, remember these four sentences and do not go against your wishes at any time." Zhu Gaozhao was quite satisfied with Liu Xisheng's answer. He turned his head and looked at An Zengshou and asked, "Any Zengshou, do you understand?"
Wangchuan has heard of Taixu Temple. Taixu Temple is a sect with a long history, created by the Western Kunlun Fairy. The monks of Taixu Temple are all people with great affection and nature. They only care about their preferences and are never subject to secular constraints. They are originally pure and evasive practitioners, but their mysterious temperament, which is both good and evil, determines that Taixu disciples will always wander between light and dark. Turn left and become immortals, and then become demons. Taixu disciples seem to be lonely throughout their lives, walking confidently in the world, and let others comment on it.
The disciples of Taixu can summon the Kunlun divine beast with a mighty aura, or summon the dark power that captures people's hearts and courage. Some of them will be wholehearted and have no desires for life; some of them will be full of power and will use any means to overthrow the Zhou Dynasty. In the process of overthrowing the Zhou Dynasty, Taixu Temple chose to stand opposite to Emperor Daxing, and eventually ended in failure and escaped from the world.
"I understand what! Zhu Gaozhao, just say it if you have something to say, don't do these twists and turns," said An Zengshou.
Zhu Gaozhao pretended to be surprised and said, "A little girl can understand, do you not understand?" As he said that, Zhu Gaozhao's face suddenly became cold, his momentum suddenly released, and his broad Taoist robe floated without wind. "What I mean is that this matter is settled. If you fight for the sect, you will be beaten."
Zhu Gaozhao looked at An Zengshou domineeringly. A kind of practitioner in the audience was impressed by his domineering aura and applauded. An Zengshou couldn't hold back his face and was so angry that he was furious. He immediately used the essence wheel magic weapon and attacked Zhu Gaozhao. Zhu Gaozhao swung his whisk, and the yin and yang energy shot out from the whisk. With a "bang", An Zengshou took several steps in a row.
Just when Zhao Wuji took action to stop him, several people appeared on the Daotai Platform, "Fellow Daoist An, please help you!" Gao Shun, the elder of the Broken Sword Sect, appeared with a group of disciples.
"The person from the Broken Sword Sect is here, and it seems that the person who is leading the way is Elder Gao Shungao!" Someone from the audience exclaimed. As soon as he finished speaking, several people were lowered from the Taoist platform.
Ling Fazi, the elder of Lingyun Pavilion, is here!
Xu, the great elder of the Five Elements Sect, has a fortune to come!
Song Luosha, the great elder of Baihua Valley, is here!
In a blink of an eye, the elders of more than ten sects, including the Tianxin Sect, Shenyi Sect, Tianyan Sect, Zhiyue Tower, Aojian Villa, Xuanling Sect, and other elders and disciples came to the Taoist platform, causing a thousand waves. The crowds below the stage were immediately burst into flames, and at the same time they saw so many masters from the cultivation sects, which was really rare in a century.
Excited, people kept guessing what the elders of these sects came here. Could it be that they were just to bring their disciples to watch the tide? No, people know that things are not that simple.
It seemed that in an instant, these people were all heading for Wangchuan. What kind of grudges and hatreds have they had with Wangchuan. Although Wangchuan showed outstanding strength, he was not even Taixu Realm. What special is he? He could bother the elders of various sects to mobilize so many people? Is it related to his unknown identity? Or is it related to the Lei Lingzhu? After thinking about it, there was no reasonable explanation.
In a fierce verbal contest, they gradually divided into two camps. One side of the camp wanted to protect Wangchuan. Lingyun Pavilion wanted to ask for justice from the Duandao Sect because of the deaths of Feng Xiaoru and Bai Yunhe. Baihua Valley has always had a close relationship with Lingyun Pavilion. This is why although Tan Jingwei and Bai Yunhe belonged to two sects, they had such a close relationship. Song Luosha naturally wanted to ask for justice from the Duandao Sect for the persecution of Tan Jingwei in Fengnanyi; there is no need to say more about Taixu Temple.
On the other side of the camp, Wuji Sect claimed to avenge the dead Duan Qixuan, Ruan Wucheng, Tang Palace and a disciple, and to get back the Lei Lingzhu; Duan Daomen Sect held Wangchuan accountable because Wen Buqian, and the Five Elements Sect was the same, threatening Wangchuan with the deaths of Jinmu and Lu Song.
Compared with Taixu Temple and Baihua Valley, more than ten sects such as the Tianxin Sect, Shenyi Sect, Tianyan Sect, Yiyue Tower, Aojian Villa, and Xuanling Sect are just small sects in the mountains and fields. They are slight words, so they will only choose to stand and work hard from the side, fearing that the world will not be in chaos.
A group of people were tit-for-tat to each other and tentatively testing each other's bottom line. Wangchuan was stunned. Baihua Valley, Lingyun Pavilion, Duandao Sect, Wuji Sect and Taixu Temple were more or less related to him, and it was reasonable to appear here, but sects such as Tianxin Sect, Shenyi Sect, and Zhiyue Tower were related to him, so it was abnormal to appear here.
The old saying often says that something abnormal will happen. Wangchuan seemed to have become a bystander for a moment. He secretly observed the people in front of him, and felt suspicious, but he did not speak out.
Zhao Wuji was very troubled and was not persuaded or scolded by the elders of these sects. He simply became the manager of the shopkeeper, and returned to the stands, drank Qiucha, and whispered something with Mr. Guo, Shen Yan and Yimei. Xiaoying secretly peeked at Wangchuan, with his expression as if he was waiting for Wangchuan to end in a ridicule, but it seemed that he had different expectations for Wangchuan.
As the hour of Xu approaches, the water of Jingjiang is rising rapidly, and the sound of storm slamming the shore from afar can be heard. The monks of the same generation as Wangchuan are wandering around. Xu is the best time to watch the tide in the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you miss it, you will have to wait another year. However, it is also rare to see the battle between the two camps, and these monks don’t know how to make a decision.
"Amitabha!" As soon as the Buddha's name was heard, his popularity automatically changed. Master Huijue from Tianyin Temple came slowly. The two camps turned their heads one after another, and suddenly became quiet. Master Huijue has lived in Tianyin Temple for a long time and has never entered the world easily. Although his cultivation is not good at merit and fortune, he is also one of the few top masters in the world. Moreover, the Buddhism is very exquisite, highly respected, and is highly respected in the world of cultivation. Therefore, his words are extremely powerful.
Master Huijue came forward to mediate, and the two camps stopped their troops and received their swords, temporarily put aside their grudges and made an agreement to make another plan tomorrow. This saved the young monks' concerns. Everyone scattered their birds and went to Fengyu Tower one after another.
