Infinite Brilliant Scroll

Chapter 46 Late Night Visitors
Wei Dinggong was poisoned by his own poison, the poison was fierce and dangerous, his right hand was injured and he lost a lot of blood, even though he took the antidote in time, his body was still stiff and inconvenient to walk, he should have gone down the mountain to rest as soon as possible.

However, after Guan Luoyang won the victory, he opened his mouth directly, leaving the experts from all factions to gather at night.

Yang Lian, who vomited blood, stayed behind. In terms of rules and sympathy, Duke Wei Ding had no choice but to wait until evening, after the feast, before taking his disciples down the mountain.

Along the way, the closest apprentices around him were quite angry, but it was because Wei Dinggong made a sneak attack on the ring before, which was too disrespectful, so that the sects of various sects during the banquet People who look at them all have strange eyes.

"The teachers of those people are also rushing upwards, but seeing that my master is the most injured, they are going to make trouble, what kind of character!"

"That's right, the people from the Notre-Dame Temple don't have the face to criticize us. They, Master Yuanyuan, came on stage and were easily dismissed. Master forced the Taoist priest to flee in embarrassment for a while."

In fact, the people from the Notre-Dame Temple didn't say anything to them face to face, but those people whispered at the banquet, which made Wei Dinggong and his disciples judge others by themselves. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that others were secretly laughing at themselves.

Wei Dinggong's right hand was bandaged like a deformed big radish, his mind was heavy, and his face was very ugly. Hearing the noisy voice in his ear, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows angrily, and reprimanded: "Shut up."

Several disciples fell silent immediately, only the one who was usually the most favored, deliberately approached, supported Wei Dinggong, and said: "We are also fighting for Master."

Wei Dinggong saw that this apprentice was handsome, he looked aggrieved, and his irritable mood eased a little, he snorted coldly, and said: "What are you worried about? I'm afraid that you will lose face as a teacher today, and you will be excluded from others in the future. ?”

"How long have you been with me as a teacher, why haven't you seen through this thing? Like today's martial arts fight, I took the first shot. Even if they talk about it for a while, they can't shake our foundation at all. Face is maintained by means and connections. .”

"When I was a teacher to curry favor with those in the government, some sects pretended to be noble and looked down on me. But after these years of operation, we have a full account of gold and silver around us, nobles from the fifteen prefectures come and go, and the Leshi Temple is full of incense. It’s not a big party.”

"When something really happens, I go to these sects to talk about favors. No matter how much they gossip behind their backs, won't they still want to give me face and be persuaded by me?"

The most favored disciple smiled brightly: "It's still the master who sees it clearly. Thinking about it, Taoist Master Jiuhe was so famous back then, so he came to visit our temple specially. What else did he say, about studying the law and practicing it?" After all, he is not a god, he cannot be exempt from vulgarity, he loves money and fame, and he has a good strategy, so he is a man of virtue.”

A square-faced monk next to him heard the words and said: "Junior brother, you remember wrongly. Taoist Jiuhe said at the beginning that he loved money and fame, so he got it right."

The younger brother secretly turned his head, raised his eyebrows and glared at him.Several people nearby immediately pushed the Fangyuan monk to the back.

Wei Dinggong didn't care about this matter today, he just sighed, and said in a low voice as if talking to himself: "What those people think, it's not worth worrying at all. The ancestral hall failed to achieve its goal, both parties did not please, it was because of face and strength that they failed to get it."

The connections he has made over the years in Jiaozhi are indeed strong enough, but if the Zhenwu Temple goes back to Wudang, the background in the Ming court is much stronger than him.

Of course, Zhenwu Temple is still a decent family after all, because of a little disagreement in the arena, it is impossible to attack him for no reason.

What Duke Wei Ding was most worried about was that he still couldn't explain to the people on the other side. The behavior of those people was much more cruel.

After he returned to the inn, he sat quietly in his room.

After waiting for more than an hour, the sound of flapping wings suddenly sounded on the beams of the room, and the strange green-feathered bird appeared in the room again without anyone noticing it.

"Is everything going well today?"

Before the green-haired strange bird finished speaking, seeing Wei Dinggong's expression and his injured right hand, his voice immediately became high-pitched, "You failed!!"

"There is a problem with your intelligence." Wei Dinggong preempted the attack and bit back, "Didn't you say that the short-haired boy is a boxer? But he also has magic power, at least ten years of magic skills."

The green-haired strange bird was a little surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

Although this bird is very good at stealth and stealth, there are too many mages of various factions gathered on the mountain during the day, so it didn't dare to pry rashly, not knowing the specific situation.

"But even if he practices both martial arts and techniques, you also have the method of restraining the air that we have trained for you over the years, so can't you still deal with him?"

The tone of the green-feathered strange bird became dangerous, "You didn't mean to take a step back on purpose, to keep some leeway, to be a fool?"

Wei Dinggong said angrily: "We have cooperated for so many years, and we know each other well. When you were the weakest, I didn't dare to betray you. How could you do betrayal when you are about to have a major event? Besides, If I just want to save some room, why should I hurt myself like this? That kid is really hateful..."

He talked about the day's affairs in a few words, emphatically mentioning that even Yang Lian and Huang Tou Taigong were defeated by Guan Luoyang.

It is indeed a bit inappropriate for a famous mage to lose to a fledgling Taoist priest, but when the number of famous mages who lose is enough, this matter seems to become a matter of course.

There is a reason for Wei Dinggong's failure.

After hearing what he said, the green-haired strange bird was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, he really didn't mean to blame him.

"It's this kind of person, anyway, this kind of thing really can't be blamed on you. It seems that we can only find a way through other channels for the matter of the Fa Conference... Well, since you failed and were injured, you will continue to stay in Chengyin. I'm afraid it's dangerous, so I'd better come to Qinghua Mansion and help my brother with some logistical security."

Duke Wei Ding was startled: "Then what about my Leshi Temple?"

The green-haired strange bird quacked and said with a smile: "Don't worry, during the time you came to Chengyin Mansion, the disciples who stayed behind at Leshi Temple have already transported the things in your secret storehouse to Qinghua Mansion, where they should be used. .”

"You..." Wei Dinggong almost blurted out an angry curse, but was forced back by him.

Under the gaze of the green-feathered monster bird's living eyes, Wei Dinggong's chest rose and fell twice, his hands trembled, but a smile appeared on his mouth.

"It's still you who are thoughtful. The background of Leshi Temple is also the wealth and contacts accumulated by helping you sell your dirty things and deal with some things that are tasteless to you. This time we want to conspire big things, I naturally You have to invest again, so that you can get some credit with peace of mind in the future."

"Hehehehe, that's right, that's right, that's how we think about you."

The green-feathered monster bird spread its wings, smiled happily, and said, "But don't underestimate yourself. You have accomplished the Qi Confinement method, and your ability to mix poison is a rare talent. Even if you don't have those treasures, As long as you go to Qinghua Mansion in person, it will be of great use."

"How about this, I happen to have a group of people waiting around you, let them pick you up and escort you to Qinghua Mansion."

The green-haired strange bird flapped its wings, hit the roof, and disappeared out of thin air, without giving Wei Dinggong a chance to say more.

The smile on Wei Dinggong's face disappeared little by little, and he became gloomy, gnashing his teeth, and the veins on his forehead gradually popped out.

He crushed the rosary beads with his left hand, his heart was surging, and he cursed these people viciously in his heart.

But when the matter developed to this point, he couldn't help but not agree.

After venting, Wei Dinggong began to adjust his breath to rest in order to prevent the injury of his right hand from worsening.

He is a person who cherishes his life, and he has encountered a lot of unsatisfactory things in the first half of his life, but he must know how to cherish himself, so that he can turn the crisis into safety and even go to a higher level.

Although the risk of getting involved this time is greater than the sum of his first half of his life, if it really succeeds, the rewards may be greater than his hard planning in the first half of his life, making him carefree and famous in the second half of his life .

"It's still necessary to be quiet first and then cultivate, seek tranquility, seek tranquility, watch the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva, practice the deep prajna paramita for a long time, and see that the five aggregates are all empty..."

Wei Dinggong silently recited the Heart Sutra, and slowly channeled his mana.

It's just that for some reason, there is still a trace of uneasiness in my heart that I can't understand the source of.

Is it because of the attitude of the green monster bird?
Obviously that bird is no different from the past, and what it does, if you think about it carefully, is indeed what that woman would have done, but you still feel that there is something wrong?

Wei Dinggong sat for a whole night, but couldn't fall asleep.

When the night was very dark, the two disciples guarding the door suddenly knocked on the door.

"Master, there is a priest who said he was your old friend and came to visit."

"What Taoist, why are you here in the middle of the night?"

Duke Wei Ding stood up and opened the door. Outside the door stood a purple-robed Taoist, half of his face was covered by his hair, and he was playing with a white flute in his hand.

"You are……"

Wei Ding recognized that this person seemed to be the woman's subordinate, but why did he come to join him so soon?You stare too closely at yourself.

In the house opposite the inn.

Taoist priest Sanqing Guanzhiyuan silently took out a stick of ghost incense, waved his arm, and lit the incense.

The incorporeal incense eater passed through the wall to transfer ownership, and flew up the mountain, like a gust of wind blowing into the back mountain courtyard of Zhenwu Temple.

Qiu Shi and the others sat quietly and chanted scriptures, while Guan Luoyang was wiping his knife.
