Holy Bone

Chapter 1712 A New Storm
The age difference between Jin'an and the new national master is too great. Who would have thought that in this battle of wits and courage, the youngest Jin'an would temporarily have the upper hand.

In people's general impression, the younger generation is not as mature and stable as the elders, and ordinary people are not as shrewd as those who are well versed in officialdom.

But today, Jin'an was not afraid of the new national teacher's suppression and verbal provocation at all, and responded calmly and calmly, which opened the eyes of many people present, as if they had re-acquainted themselves with the brave and resourceful Jin'an.

They suddenly had an illusion that Jin'an, who looked to be in his early twenties, was the shrewd old villain who responded calmly and composedly. The new national teacher with pale hair and beard became a little boy in front of Jin'an.

It really made people surprised and they all had strange expressions in their eyes.

With such extraordinary achievements at such a young age and a sharp mind that understands people's hearts, are you sure he is not the reincarnation of some ancient monster?

……

There was a lot of tension as soon as they met. At this moment, many masters present had gleaming eyes. They had some guesses in their minds, but they were not in a position to speak them out.

In fact, many masters present hoped that Jin An would fight with the new national master on the spot to see whether the new national master was the mysterious fourth-level strong man who was hiding very deeply, and the mysterious strong man who blatantly suppressed the Wuzang Taoist Temple today.

There are more than one or two people who have similar ideas. Anyone can see that these things are too coincidental.

As soon as the new imperial master returned to Beijing, the Wuzang Taoist Temple encountered a powerful enemy.

The abbot of the Wuzang Taoist Temple had just been blocking the way outside the South Gate leading to Beijing, which happened to be the only way for the new national master to enter Beijing.

How could there be so many coincidences in this matter?
Too many coincidences become inevitable.

So it is reasonable for many people present to have this guess.

There were many people who wanted to watch the fun and were happy to see the two fight to the death outside the city gate so that they could observe in advance the methods and magical powers of a strong man in the fourth realm and use them as a reference for their experience.

These people wanted to see some clues from the new national master Yuan Yiban's facial expression to find out whether the new national master was going to suppress the Wu Zang Taoist Temple as soon as he returned to Beijing. But they were destined to be disappointed, because the new national master looked normal.

Being able to say in front of so many experts with a clear conscience that he was also deceived, the new national master's style of doing things is flawless, how could he let these busybodies like them see any clues.

If Jin An's progress had not been so fast, breaking through to the fourth realm so quickly, and being only half a step away from the late fourth realm, catching people off guard, the Five Internal Organs Taoist Temple might have really been in danger today.

When he was in the Taoist Huangting inner realm, Jin'an was still a martial arts immortal in the third realm.

Who would have thought that in just a month, he would have already reached the fourth level of martial arts immortal.

That is the fourth realm, not the first or second realm. This speed of breakthrough is so fast that it is not enough to describe it as a demon descending to the world. If Jin An does not take action today, the world will continue to be kept in the dark.

Regardless of whether the mysterious powerful person who suppressed the Wuzang Taoist Temple this time is the new national master who just returned to Beijing, no one will have any ideas about attacking the Wuzang Taoist Temple in the short term.

Everyone needs some time to digest the mental shock brought about by Jin An's cultivation.

The confrontation between Jin'an and the new imperial teacher Yuan Yiban ended with Jin'an gaining the upper hand temporarily. The two did not fight in public, so that the foreign merchants who were leading camel caravans in and out of the capital would laugh at the Kangding court.

One of them was the Marquis of Shenwu, an imperial envoy appointed by the emperor, and the other was the newly appointed imperial teacher.

One is a military officer of the imperial court, and the other is a civil officer of the imperial court. Their identities represent whether the country is as solid as a rock.

Jin An did not take action on the spot because the other party was very careful in his actions, using the stone clone and the feng shui field of heaven and earth to erase all traces. He did not have enough evidence to identify the real murderer.

The new national master knew that he was at a disadvantage and was not in a hurry to make a comeback. Perhaps he knew that he was in the wrong in the matter of the headless monk and it was inconvenient for him to show an aggressive attitude in public and tarnish his reputation as the national master.

The new imperial teacher Yuan Yiban acted as if nothing had happened. He put on a kind face and talked for a few more words. Finally, he entered the capital city in a carriage on the pretext of going to the capital to report on his work.

This old monster does everything flawlessly, establishes a loyal and righteous persona in front of others, and leaves no room for any evidence.

There were people coming and going outside the city gate. After all, it was a crowded place. After Jin'an exchanged a few simple greetings with Taoist Zhanmu and Taoist Qingfeng who had just returned to the capital, they returned to Yujing Jinque together to reminisce the joy of their long-awaited reunion.

Jin'an stayed at Yujing Jinque as a guest until late at night and left. He felt embarrassed to stay too long and disturb the reunion of the elders of Yujing Jinque, so before leaving Yujing Jinque, he shamelessly asked for a few boxes of Thousand Layer Osmanthus Cake to help Xiaojian.

When Jin'an returned to the Wuzang Taoist Temple on the Yujing Jinque carriage, it was already past midnight. The statues outside the Wuzang Taoist Temple had already been taken back to various temples.

At midnight, the lights in the Wuzang Taoist Temple were still bright, and everyone had not gone to bed yet.

The old Taoist priest and the others all knew that Jin'an had gone to visit the Golden Palace in Yujing, and they were all waiting for Jin'an to come back.

"The martial arts immortal is back!" The Thousand-Eyed Taoist statue, who was diligently serving as the gatekeeper at the entrance of the Taoist temple, shouted loudly. Footsteps were heard from the temple, and a group of people and animals ran out.

The old Taoist priest, Xue Jian, and Fatty Li all ran out to greet Jinan.

Next, it was time for everyone to share the Thousand Layer Osmanthus Cake. Even the Thousand-Eyed Taoist statue got a share. A plate of Thousand Layer Osmanthus Cake was placed on top and a stick of incense was inserted, allowing the stone statue to absorb air and exhale smoke.

After eating the midnight snack brought by Jin'an, the old Taoist priest picked his teeth with satisfaction and said: "Little brother, when you have time in the future, please visit Yujing Jinque more often. It would be even better if you could bring back midnight snacks every time."

Like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, Fatty Li, who swallowed it without tasting it, also nodded vigorously: "In ancient times, there was a saying that 'it's easier to get things done if you have someone in the court', and now there is 'it's easier to get things done if you have someone in Yujing Jinque'. It would be great if I could have Yujing Jinque supper every day. I feel that even a piece of cake made by Yujing Jinque is a spiritual tonic that can lift people's spirits and sweep away the fatigue of a day of patrolling the streets."

Looking at the group of shameless foodies, Jin An said unhappily, "Leave the shame to me, and leave the delicious food to you. As the master of Wuzang Taoist Temple, I can't afford to eat and drink for free every day."

After a few words of banter, everyone got down to business.

"I heard from Taoist Qianyan that, little brother, you blocked the new national master of the Corpse Immortal Heavenly Official. Was it really the mysterious master who was behind the suppression of the Five Internal Organs Taoist Temple during the day?" the old Taoist asked seriously.

Next, Jin An recounted the details of how he was chased out of the capital, including his brief verbal exchange with the new imperial teacher.

After hearing this, the old Taoist cursed and said, "This is too obvious. Even a pig can guess that the mysterious mastermind is the new national teacher. There are not so many coincidences in this world."

"This new national teacher is a vindictive man who is good at playing tricks and politics! It's easy to dodge an open attack but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. You better be more careful in the future, little brother!"

"Little brother, you are visiting Yujing Jinque today. Did Taoist Zhanmu and Taoist Qingfeng mention the ruins of Bulao Mountain? What did they experience when they explored the ruins of Bulao Mountain with the new national master? Did they dig up any rare treasures? Did the new national master show any suspicious behavior?" The old Taoist asked three times in a row, and the other people and animals also listened attentively and perked up.
