Chapter 279 The dust has settled
How could it be Lao Wang? !
Zhao Duan's pupils narrowed, and he felt that his soul had suffered unspeakable damage.
So close, staring at that familiar, smiling old face.
In his mind, the "casual official" of the Tianshi Mansion who had not appeared for a while and liked to prostitute his exquisite sentences for free, gradually overlapped with the old man in front of him who looked and behaved like a god.
"My little friend, long time no see."
Zhang Yan smiled and used covert means to hit the sound into Zhao Duan's ears.
At the same time, the phrase "Old Wang" just mentioned was also covered up by him, preventing outsiders from prying at him.
Is it really you... Lao Wang is Master Zhang?
According to legend, the land immortal who is only one step away from becoming a "human immortal"?
Zhao Duan felt huge waves in his heart and felt a strong sense of unreality.
He couldn't accept that such a lofty and powerful man was actually Lao Wang, who had prostituted himself for free.
That's right... No wonder, you can copy my sentences so quickly and imprint them on the terrace of Tianshi Mansion... No wonder, Jin Jian and Lao Wang have a close relationship... No wonder, the talisman given casually is so strong...
At this moment, Zhao Duan felt mixed emotions.
Not only was I surprised that I had already met the big boss, but I also felt guilty...
Well, I talked to Lao Wang before, so no matter how big or small... Zhang Tianshi doesn't hold grudges, right?
"Wan...Junior, I have met Zhang...Celestial Master."
Zhao Duan tried his best to smile and saluted respectfully, pretending that he didn't know him.
Zhang Yanyi obviously had no intention of exposing their personal relationship in public, and just nodded.
Immediately, he swept the entire audience with a stern look and said: "I have already learned about this matter, and that's the end of it. If Xuan Yin is unwilling, let him come to my Tianshi Mansion in person to speak."
The final word!
No nonsense, no nonsense, reasonable and leisurely and elegant.
Translated, just one sentence:
Forget it, if you want to cause trouble outside the Tianshi Mansion and let Xuan Yin come, you are not qualified.
As for the aggressiveness of the old monk from the Discipline Hall just now, although Zhang Yanyi didn't mind calling for death with one sleeve, he remembered what the empress had said before coming out and simply ignored it.
"It is inconvenient for me to come forward when it involves the royal family. Please ask the Heavenly Master to deal with the aftermath... I will deal with that monk myself."
At that time, Xu Zhenguan's voice was cold, as if he was angry but would not release it.
None of the monks in Shenlong Temple dared to refute, and the old monk who had just ordered the arrest was as obedient as a quail.
"I will obey the Heavenly Master's decree!"
Gongshu Tianyuan and other priests were radiant and energetic.
Straightening up and raising his chin, the little fat man made a "please" gesture to Bianji and the others.
Bianji sighed, clasped his hands together and bowed.
Without saying a word, he immediately turned around and signaled to the monks. With the injured and unconscious Tianhai, he quickly withdrew from the crowd like a tide.
After walking a long distance, Bianji suddenly turned his head and stared at the head of the Discipline Hall with an expressionless face: "You acted without authorization today and provoked a conflict between our Buddhist sect and the imperial court. I will report the truth to the abbot."
The gray eyebrows of the old monk who had just lost his mind and had been seriously injured by his beloved disciple raised their gray eyebrows, and his eyes were clear.
His expression was extremely calm, completely different from before.
He looked at Bianji without hesitation and said calmly: "No need to bother, I will personally resign to the abbot and demote myself out of the capital to appease the anger of the Xu family."
Bianji sneered, as if he had seen through his thoughts, and said quietly: "You think this is enough? Is it really worth it for you to do this for Longjun? Aren't you afraid that the cunning rabbit will die and the lackeys will be cooked?
Or are you sure that the abbot is so compassionate and will not punish you severely?
Even if you are doing harm to the temple for the sake of becoming the future leader of your lineage? ! "
The old monk shook his head and said:
"I don't understand what the Master is saying."
Bianji's eyes were cold, he snorted, and walked away, leaving only one sentence:
"Bless yourself!"
…
All around the arena.
A group of monks from Shenlong Temple left in despair.
This battle came to an end with Zhang Yanyi's words.
"Tianshi...I..." Zhao Duan still hadn't recovered and opened his mouth.
In my ears, I could only hear the smiling voice of the old Heavenly Master: "Haha, it's inconvenient to be here at this time. I'll see you someday. Now, please enter the palace quickly, His Majesty wants to see you."
Your Majesty, will you see me?
Because it's inconvenient here, why don't you wait for me at the palace?
Zhao Duan was in an inexplicable mood, looking forward to and worried at the same time.
However, he had already anticipated this before taking the stage today.
As for how he could summon Tai'a Sword, the empress would definitely come to him and ask him personally.
But the old Heavenly Master dropped these words, rolled up his sleeves, and turned into a wisp of blue clouds, floating towards the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
The priests also hurriedly followed.
At the same time, the giant bell on the huge and simple bell tower rumbled, sweeping across the capital.
"clang--"
"clang--"
This means that this session of Buddhism and Taoism fighting has officially ended.
The winner is neither Tianshi Mansion nor Shenlong Temple, but the Xu family, which has been silent and declining for hundreds of years.
as well as……
Zhao made a splash with the help of Tai'a Sword.
"grown ups!"
When Zhao Duan stepped down from the ring, he was immediately surrounded by the Jinyi people from Lihuatang who came over, surrounded by them, and gathered with the officials from the imperial court.
"Come here, please help Mr. Zhao get into the carriage quickly and return to the palace to heal his injuries."
Mochou was the first to speak, but he was giving orders.
Zhao Duan was stunned for a moment, and he realized that the Heavenly Master, or the Zhenbao hidden in the secret, had also sent a message to Mochou. Nodding with other acquaintances, he was surrounded and went to a nearby carriage with Mochou.
After watching the carriage leave quickly along the exclusive passage, Baiguan came back to his senses.
"What a great excitement. After today, the imperial court will regain its momentum." Many people thought so.
This guy... unexpectedly stole the show... However, fortunately, it was not his real strength, but the imperial sister's secret manipulation. He was just pushed out to prove to the world that the royal family has not declined... Xu Junling thought in his mind .
It's just...is it really just a mascot?
Or, a hidden dragon?
Xu Junling was distracted and felt that his rating for Zhao Duan should be raised again.
As for Eunuch Hai, Ma Yan, and Xue Shence, they fell into a state of trance after the sword "opened the sky".
It seems to be savoring.
It wasn't until this moment that I woke up when someone called me.
"I still have something to do, so I'll go back first."
Xue Shence said something stiffly and left impatiently.
Ma Yan also ordered Zhang Han and others to clear the crowd on his behalf, and then left as if something happened.
Eunuch Hai also muttered a few words in a low voice, and then disappeared in a flash.
I don't know who the three of them are, but in the crowd around the ring, many martial artists with good cultivation levels seemed to have some enlightenment at this moment.
Only they can appreciate the subtlety of this sword.
Although Zhao Duan's performance is not as good as Emperor Taizu's case, it comes from the same source, which is enough for many people to ponder over and over again.
On the way back to Beijing, Eunuch Hai's figure was walking through the wind, and he couldn't help muttering: "This boy...is he really in love with the Xu family? Our family has never learned how to open a door from the Martial God Picture." Heavenly Sword Jue..."
The crowd dispersed.
However, the spread of the details of this twists and turns of the battle has only just begun.
…
…
Jizhao nunnery.
In a pond planted with residual lotus, a plump white carp jumped out of the water, flicked its tail and splashed water, then fell, but it did not attract the attention of the two women beside the pond.
Princess Yunyang still held the last letter "Buddhism's Great Victory" in her hand.
At this moment, he raised his neck and stared blankly at the dark clouds in the distance that seemed to have cracked a golden gap before, but now have slowly healed.
The sound of the bell ringing the end of the fight echoed in my ears.
"it's over?"
Yunyang withdrew his gaze and looked at the female Bodhisattva by the pool with some uncertainty.
With wet black hair hanging down around her waist, Prajna Bodhisattva's slender, white, plump and soft flesh is exposed, and her eyes are staring into the distance like a Guanyin statue.
But the falcon didn't arrive for a long time.
Until the nun who went out to watch the fight in the nunnery hurriedly returned, broke into the small courtyard, held her knees, and panted:
"Bodhisattva, Tianhai lost!"
Lost?
Princess Yunyang was the first to jump up and said in surprise:
"Didn't you say that your Shenlong Temple won? Why did you lose again?"
The little nun's face was red, which was caused by excitement. She hurriedly waved her hands and explained quickly:
"I won the battle with the Tianshi Mansion, but then I accepted the challenge of offering sacrifices to the Yu royal family and lost..."
Then, stammering, she recounted the entire incident she had witnessed.
And when she heard the whole process, Princess Yunyang, who had just shown a lustful and wanton temper, was stunned.
Her beautiful face was almost distorted and she said in disbelief:
"Um...Zhao Duan, picked up the Tai'a sword? Defeated you?"
The little nun thought for a while and said:
"It's hard to say that we lost. King Zhao Yan also relied on weapons. The leader of the Discipline Hall even had a quarrel with him, but Zhang Tianshi stepped in and suppressed it..."
It's true... it's true... Yunyang staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.
Thinking that this time, my niece Xu Zhenguan had taken advantage of me again, I felt so heartbroken that I could hardly breathe. I clutched the soil next to my buttocks with my fingers and murmured:
"It's Zhao Duan again, it's him again..."
Prajna Bodhisattva had a slight smile on his lips.
Especially after listening to the little nun’s story, I laughed even more heartily, and finally turned into a loud laugh:
"Hahaha..."
The little nun was timid and tested in a low voice: "Bodhisattva? Why are you so happy? This time, the first one must have offended the court, and I am afraid something bad will happen."
The beautiful girl with the lotus mark on her eyebrows smiled.
Turning around, holding the jade purification bottle, looking at the remaining lotus in the pond, he said softly:
"Isn't that a good thing? Xuanyin wants to strengthen Buddhism, but he has been reluctant to suppress Nagarjuna and Ghajing for fear of damaging the strength of Buddhism. Now, he is just reaping the consequences."
The little nun's eyes were blank and she didn't understand.
Prajna, however, kept silent and didn't bother to explain to her.
I just sighed softly in my heart:
"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Party politics are fighting, not just temples?"
Only a few people know that the seemingly stupid and impulsive behavior of the leader of the Discipline Hall is nothing more than a game between Nagarjuna and Xuanyin within the huge power of Shenlong Temple.
As for Tianhai, it is nothing more than a chess piece that Nagarjuna intends to support.
"But, life is like a chess game, who is not a player in the game?"
The female Bodhisattva looked bored, then remembered that that day, she could vaguely see the weather with her "wisdom eyes", and whispered to herself:
"Zhao Duan..."
