That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 761

I don't know whether to say luck or misfortune, because the appearance of Li Fenggu, an unexpected person, completely disrupted the arrangement of the Daoist sect to recover the Taoist workshop, making the world's attention focus on this, and making the Daoist sect overwhelmed. The question of gains and losses in the Taoist workshop is a question of the face of the entire Taoist school, and a deeper problem after the face.

As the so-called "the world has suffered from Taoism for a long time", it seems that the Taoist family is the only one, such as Buddhism, Xuanjiao, etc., but they always want to pull the Taoism down. If they are not handled properly, the Daomen will be hurt. Not impossible.

Daomen had to act cautiously.

Chen Ye, the master of the Demon Suppressing Hall in Wei State, received a letter from the real person in charge of Feijian, so he had to interrupt his trip to Wei State in advance and leave Wei State, but he did not go to Jiangdu immediately.

When Chen Ye and his party arrived in Huzhou, it was just at night, and there was a drizzle. The door of the Taoist temple was lit with lights, emitting a dim yellow light in the rain.

Dongfang Ghost Emperor held up an oil-paper umbrella for Chen Ye, and the two walked on the wet bluestone path.

The place they are going to is very famous in Huzhou, Wanxian Palace.

When the two arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple, Du Haichan had already greeted him at the gate in person.

After the Daoshu workshop changed hands, Du Haichan, who escaped from Jiangdu in embarrassment, retreated to Huzhou. Because Huzhou is the closest place to Jiangzhou, he wanted to integrate the remaining forces of Jiangnan Daomen in Huzhou and prepare for the future counterattack of Jiangdu. Stay in Wanxian Palace.

After seeing Chen Ye, Du Haichan stepped forward quickly, Jishou saluted and said, "Junior Brother Chen Ye is here."

Chen Ye also bowed his head slightly to return the salute, shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Du, you don't need to be too polite."

After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, they entered the Palace of Ten Thousand Immortals and came to the main hall. Du Haichan retreated everyone, and then slowly said: "Just yesterday, the Master Master personally sent a letter to me, stating this matter, but I don't know the dust. What does Junior Brother Ye think?"

Chen Ye said calmly: "The drunkard doesn't care about wine."

Du Haichan nodded in agreement and said, "Someone is behind the scenes to add fuel to the flames, trying to muddy the water, and then take millet out of the fire."

He paused, deliberately slowed down and said, "Could it be Jianzong?"

Chen Ye thought of the young man who escaped from his hand, shook his head and said: "Even if Jianzong has the heart and courage, but now this Jianzong is not the same as Jianzong back then, and he doesn't have the strength to plan this matter."

Du Haichan thought for a while, and said: "Could it be a bitter trick of Buddhism? Among all the sects in the world, only Buddhism is the closest in strength to my Taoist sect. In terms of the temperament of this group of monks, they can do this. sort of thing."

"Drive tigers and devour wolves." Chen Ye murmured softly, "Buddhism can indeed do this kind of thing, but those monks have long had a grudge with this temple, which is even worse than the grievances between our Buddhist and Taoist families. After all, our two families still have 'gratitude' to speak of, while Buddhism and the Holy Church only have 'resentment'."

Du Haichan hesitated, "What does Junior Brother Chenye mean?"

Chen Ye was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Senior Brother Du, do you think it might be King Wei?"

"King Wei!?" Du Haichan was puzzled, glanced at Chen Ye who was sitting opposite him, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Wei Guo has been a little bit uneasy recently, could it be that there is some gap between King Wei and my Taoist sect? "

Chen Ye raised her voice a little, shook her head and said, "Senior Brother Du was too worried. The relationship between Daomen and King Wei has always been the same, and there has never been any gap. It was just me thinking too much."

Du Haichan tactfully stopped asking further questions, and instead asked: "What should be the current plan?"

Chen Ye said slowly: "Brother Master Master means that Bai Yunzi will fight on your behalf."

……

Compared with famous places such as Dabaoen Temple and Jiming Temple, Xianhua Temple is really inconspicuous, just like the difference between Dongyue Great Emperor Temple and Earth Temple.

But in terms of reputation, Xianhua Temple is about to catch up with the famous Dabaoen Temple.

As the saying goes, if the mountain is not high, it will be famous if there are immortals; if the water is not deep, there will be spirit if there are dragons.A small fairy flower temple, because Li Fenggu lived there, it became famous in a very short period of time.

Since the thousand-person debate at Jiming Temple, the area around Xianhua Temple has become extremely lively. Although no one dares to enter the temple to challenge, there are often people who stop and watch around, pointing fingers.

Although there were some people who wanted to enter to provoke, but when they saw the Templars in full-body armor, they wisely stopped.

In the Xianhua Temple, Li Fenggu, whose real name is Richard von Augustus, was carrying a wooden barrel to water the flowers and plants. The leader of the Templar Knights stood not far away holding his sword, and said with admiration on his face. : "My lord... No, Your Highness, your deeds of defeating thousands of heretics will definitely be included in the holy scriptures. As long as you can defeat that person named Du Haichan again, then the three major religions in the East have already been defeated by us." In your hands, this will allow us to establish the Eastern Diocese faster, and His Majesty will definitely appreciate it when we return to the Holy Church, and you will be crowned as the new His Majesty in the near future."

Li Fenggu put down the wooden barrel in his hand, straightened up and said: "It's not that simple. Defeating them and successfully establishing the Eastern Diocese are two different things, and this kind of verbal defeat will only make them completely angry. The biggest possibility is not that we establish the Eastern Diocese. , but we were expelled from this place by the three sects."

The Templar leader's face changed slightly, "If that's the case, then why would His Highness..."

Li Fenggu said with a smile: "The East is very different from the West. In our West, the theocracy is supreme. Even kings and grand dukes have to bathe in the glory of the church and prostrate themselves at the feet of the Pope. But the East is different. , They have the supremacy of the imperial power, no matter what sect you are in, you must obey the emperor's will."

"You should know that the sect called 'Buddha' is also an outsider, but it is widely spread here. At the time when Buddhism was most prosperous, there were 500 million believers and [-] Buddhist temples. It is also the largest sect in the East, but this largest sect was almost wiped out by an emperor called Emperor Wu, do you know why?"

The knight leader looked blank and shook his head in confusion.

He is a Templar who faithfully served the temple, how could he know about these heretics.

Li Fenggu glanced at him and said: "If you want to defeat the enemy, you must first understand the enemy. When outsiders evolve and expand their living space in this land, they must be restricted by the local masters. The inherent characteristic of "theocracy is absolutely subject to the imperial power" shows the strict conditions that no religion can escape from. Although Buddhism revived quickly after the catastrophe, showing its strong vitality, Emperor Wu destroyed Buddhism after all. One thing is illustrated with cruel facts. When the development of the sect is beneficial to the emperor's rule, it will be supported. Once it deviates or deviates from the track, it will be hit and restricted. In a word, theocratic power must obey the imperial power, and religion must Serving the Emperor."

The Templars were shocked: "These pagan emperors are so arrogant, they... they are..."

Li Fenggu said in a calm and almost indifferent tone: "Now the sect called 'Tao' has stood on the opposite side of the emperor. They used to be the emperor's partners, but now they are the emperor's enemies. The hostility between the two sides It gave us an excellent opportunity to enter the East. In addition to the fact that Buddhism was too powerful when Emperor Wu destroyed Buddhism, the Taoist priests’ instigation of Emperor Wu was also one of the reasons, so the personal will of a monarch will play a decisive role. "

He said softly: "Now, we must choose a monarch worthy of allegiance like a knight."
