As the largest temple around the capital, Jinming Temple was naturally invited by Chen to be responsible for the ritual part of Chen's funeral.

It's just that the Chen family is different from ordinary families. As the third largest family in the "Clan Chronicle", the funeral of the dignified head of the Chen family cannot be careless.

The monks at Jinming Temple were extremely busy for several days, and at one point there was even a shortage of manpower for rotation.

Precisely because everyone in Jinming Temple was so busy that no one noticed the inconspicuous old monk who was responsible for the sundries.

So Abbot Lingxu openly stayed in the Chen family as a monk of Jinming Temple, the most dangerous but also the safest place.

The current atmosphere in Beijing is still very tense. The Jin Yiwei's massive search has made people panic, but they have never been able to find any valuable information.

As for Jin Yiwei's rare defeat, there were not a few people in the capital who secretly rejoiced. For example, His Royal Highness the Second Prince once expressed in public that Jin Yiwei had failed the emperor's favor.

Of course, there is nothing interesting about a one-man show. Singing is interesting only when there is an opponent on stage, so the fourth prince, his uninvited opponent, stepped onto the stage.

Without anyone's instructions or hints, the fourth prince took the initiative and led people to the second prince's mansion and gave his best second brother a good beating.

I heard from the servants in the second prince's house that the argument between the two princes that day was very fierce. The second prince even wanted to take action at one point, but unfortunately the fourth prince ran away first when he saw that the situation was not going well.

The fourth prince appeared because he already considered himself to be a partner in the same boat with Jin Yiwei. Of course, this recognition was limited to his own entertainment at home.

Neither Concubine Zhao in the palace nor the Chen family in Yunzhong expressed any opinion on the actions of the fourth prince, and even Jin Yiwei, who was the inexplicable beneficiary, also did not express his opinion.

Although it was a self-inflicted affair, the fourth prince did not feel embarrassed. On the contrary, he seemed to enjoy it.

Yunzhong Chen probably understood what it means that mud cannot hold up a wall, so he simply ignored it. It was already a huge loss to bring in a capable clan leader for a useless prince. This is a bottomless pit that cannot be filled. of.

While the Jinyiwei were intensively investigating the case, Qianhu Yan Feng and Zeng Hong quietly left the capital and secretly headed south. Their destination was Wudang Mountain.

Originally, Ying Wushang took the initiative to invite Ying to go, but unfortunately Master Lu stopped him. It was not because he was worried about Ying Qianhu's ability, but because Ying Wushang's role in Beijing was far greater than in the world.

As a Jin Yiwei with a martial arts background, Ying Wushang did not have the same natural fear or respect for the world's aristocratic families as others.

Even though it was only a little bit, the lawless temperament of those knights in the arena still affected Ying Wushang to some extent, making him the best helper Lu Hanjiang could use to deal with the aristocratic family.

Ying Wushang never had any psychological burden when dealing with aristocratic families. On the one hand, he was confident in the power of the Jin Yiwei behind him, and on the other hand, because Ying Qianhu was alone and had nothing to worry about.

As an advantage, this point is almost unrivaled among the Jin Yiwei, because even the Jin Yiwei, which is the sharpest knife in His Majesty's hand, is also filled with children from various aristocratic families.

Although almost all of these people, like Lu Shangshu, are "new aristocratic families" who support the royal family and the court, it is undeniable that as long as they are disciples of aristocratic families, they will be more or less capable when dealing with these terrifying families famous in the "Clan Chronicle" Have some scruples.

In contrast, Ying Wushang did not have these inherent shackles, so Lu Hanjiang specially kept him here.

Back to Yan Feng, on the night Chen Zihua was killed, Yan Qianhu and Zeng Qianhu received secret instructions from Lu Hanjiang and immediately rushed to Wudang to "capture" the prisoner.As early as when the bodies of the three Chens were brought back to the Jinyiwei Yamen, everyone had already seen that the sword wounds on the bodies were undoubtedly framed.

But even under such circumstances, Lu Hanjiang still asked the two to go to Wudang to "capture" the prisoner, and the meaning is more intriguing.

Two Qianhu Pegasus arrived at Wudang. It was already dark at this time. Because it was a secret operation, the two did not do any face-saving work, but rushed directly to the Zixiao Hall in the dark.

At this moment, in the Zixiao Hall, Wudang's new leader Miao Yunyong is closing his eyes to meditate. Ever since Wudang's two pillars collapsed, he has often stayed alone in the hall like this.

The night breeze was slightly cool, and there seemed to be pity and ridicule in the lowered eyes of the giant statue of Emperor Zhenwu. Miao Yunyong closed his eyes tightly. Although he was meditating and cultivating, he could not calm down at all.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the scene of his master Qi Yunzi's death would appear in front of his eyes, and with a flash of his eyes, the scene of his master uncle Shang Yoko's suicide also appeared.

Miao Yunyong, as the leader of the seven contemporary Wudang disciples, is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also superb in his Taoist cultivation. He knows very well that this is a sign of being possessed by a demon.

When his master passed away, he was not around, and similarly when his uncle passed away, he was not around either, but that completely unseen scene kept rising and falling in his mind.

Miao Yunyong probably understood that this was the reluctance in his heart. He was unwilling to let his master and uncle die unexpectedly, and he was unwilling to let Wudang remain silent and isolated from the world.

He was unwilling to give in, so his mind was not calm, and his mind was not calm, which made it difficult for him to make any progress in his martial arts.

Wudang sect's martial arts has never been about tricks on the shelf, but requires a set of exquisite internal skills and Taoism to complement each other. Therefore, the deeper the Taoism and Taoism are cultivated, the higher the skill will be.

This is the case for Qi Yunzi and Shang Yangzi. They are not only one of the few top masters in the contemporary world, but also the leading intellectual masters in the Taoist sect.

Miao Yunyong's swordsmanship had reached a bottleneck. He knew almost all the Wudang swordsmanship by heart, but his internal strength couldn't keep up, so it was just a show.

But at this moment, Miao Yunyong, who wanted to calm down more and more, became more and more trapped by his inner demons. After a while, his head was covered with fine sweat, his closed eyes suddenly opened, and a beam of light came from his eyes. The sword flew out of the uneasy scabbard in his lap.

The sword light was like a crow crying for blood, and its light turned into a violent wind. Most of the candles lit in the hall were extinguished in an instant.

Miao Yunyong was sweating profusely. He suppressed the excitement in his heart, suddenly stood up, drew his sword and danced a set of Tai Chi Qing Ling Sword Technique in the hall.

The originally clear and agile sword moves seemed to have been submerged in a mire in his hands, becoming sticky and turbid. It was as if a vicious aura was eating away at his sword energy, causing the light of his sword to dim.

Miao Yunyong didn't dare to stop. He kept dancing with his sword, practicing the moves over and over again, until he was exhausted and exhausted, and then he stopped panting.

But at this moment, the sound of clapping suddenly sounded in the quiet hall.

pop-

"Good swordsmanship." After the words fell, a man wearing a silver robe and Qianhu uniform slowly walked out from the darkness of the pillar.
