Wudang

Chapter 26

"Junior brother?" Qi Zhicheng was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and glanced at Zhang Junbao who stood up beside him, his first reaction was to stop him, but he gave up after thinking about it.

Because he felt that his junior brother's voice might be instructed by Uncle Huolong.

Thinking of how unfathomable Uncle Huolong is, he couldn't help but feel a little hope in his heart.

People from other Taoist sects could almost guess this, and all of them cast their eyes on Zhang Junbao.

Just now Kublai Khan said about burning scriptures, which made Zhang Junbao extremely anxious.

If you can't think of a countermeasure, the matter is really a foregone conclusion.

Master asked himself to find an opportunity to speak out in the debate, but it was really too difficult.

The Taoist sect itself is already at a disadvantage, and it is basically impossible to recover from the disadvantage.

After all, Kublai Khan was on the side of Buddhism.

Therefore, Zhang Junbao didn't even think that the Daomen could win, all he could do was to reduce the losses as much as possible, even if it was a very low desire, it was difficult to achieve.

Of course, Master didn't say that he must be asked to come forward, and it depends on the situation.

It really made a sound, whether it is convincing people with reasoning or making nonsense, there must be some gains.

Now Kublai Khan said this again, whether it was really showing his generosity or pretending.

Now it seems that he can only take Kublai Khan's words as true, the Taoist sect has no way out, and he has no other better time to choose.

Ba Shi frowned, and his eyes fell on Qi Zhicheng.

He actually knew who Zhang Junbao was, he was a disciple of Daoist Huolong.

But even if he is the disciple of Daoist Huolong, so what?
Age is here.

Let him come forward?

Is it because this kid couldn't stand the stimulation and jumped out by himself?

Or was it Qi Zhicheng's instruction?

A lot of thoughts quickly flashed in Ba Shi's mind, but he didn't think the Daomen could turn over.

Kublai Khan frowned, did Qi Zhicheng lose his head?

Wouldn't it be a trifling matter to let a yellow-haired boy come out?
The originally relieved mood showed signs of being ignited again.

When the people around saw that the person who made the sound was just a little Taoist priest, they were all dumbfounded.

Is the Quanzhen Sect playing tricks on everyone?

It's okay if it's normal, but now in front of His Majesty, is Qi Zhicheng crazy?

The people present were all human beings, and from the change of Kublai Khan's face, he could feel His Majesty's dissatisfaction with the Taoist sect.

Here are some who guessed Zhang Junbao's identity, but most of them didn't know.

Especially the court officials, they don't know what the Huolong real person is.

So when Zhang Junbao spoke out, they criticized one after another, and at the same time expressed their dissatisfaction with the Taoists.

Letting a little Taoist priest come out is because the Taoist discipline is not strict.

Zhang Junbao took all of this into consideration.

This is the so-called wall down everyone pushes.

After the results of the debate came out, everyone understood that Taoism, especially Quanzhen Sect, would no longer have the glory of the past.

Then they will naturally be impolite, and the most important thing is to curry favor with the emperor.

"Xiao Daoist, Your Majesty is not allowed to speak nonsense in person." Ba Shi smiled and said, "If you are impulsive, admit your mistake, I believe His Majesty will not pursue it."

Kublai Khan snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction.

But for Ba Shi's sake, he can ignore it for the time being.

Besides, he was just a brat, so he was inevitably a little impulsive.

"Headmaster Qi, don't you want to say something?" Ba Shi looked at Qi Zhicheng.

"Since Junior Brother Zhang has something to say, I believe he will not aim at it indiscriminately." Qi Zhicheng replied flatly.

Seeing Zhang Junbao's resolute face, Qi Zhicheng suddenly moved, it must be that Uncle Huolong gave his junior some advice.

Otherwise, why did Uncle Huolong specifically ask him to bring Zhang Junbao with him when debating scriptures.

It seems that Master Huo Long expected all of this?

Considering how mysterious and unfathomable Uncle Huolong is, especially his proficiency in divination and deduction, it is not surprising to know this, right?
The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and at this time they had no way out, no matter how bad the result was, could it be worse than the one just now?
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly became more at ease.

Qi Zhicheng's words made the eyes of those who didn't know just now widen.

What did they hear?
Brother Zhang?
Everyone present knew who Qi Zhicheng's brothers and sisters were.

Even if some of them have never seen each other before, they still know that as Qi Zhicheng's younger brother, they are not young, and the youngest is probably forty.

Where did this junior brother surnamed Zhang come from?

No matter how you look at it, it only looks like thirteen or fourteen.

Not only these people, even Kublai Khan was a little surprised.

I thought this was a yellow-haired boy, but never thought he was Qi Zhicheng's junior, he was also at a loss.

He greeted his valet, and after the valet left quickly to find someone to ask, he immediately returned to Kublai Khan's side and whispered some news about Zhang Junbao's identity.

After listening, Kublai Khan's eyes lit up slightly, and his gaze completely fell on Zhang Junbao.

"That's him?" Ahema turned his head and asked Yuwen Hudao in a low voice.

At this time, the ministers around Ahema had already retreated a little, and there were only a few close people beside him, and Yu Huwen was one of them, and he was sitting next to him.

Such treatment shows that Ahema attaches great importance to Yuhuwen.

"Yes, he is Zhang Junbao, the disciple of Daoist Huolong." Yu Huwen laughed.

"Oh, when will you invite him to sit at the house." Ahema said lightly.

Then regardless of whether Yu Huwen agreed or not, he turned his gaze back to the court.

Yu Huwen's expression was a little unnatural.

He and Zhang Junbao couldn't say how close their relationship was, they just met twice.

Zhang Junbao's status is unusual, even if Prime Minister Ahema invites him, he may not come.

Although the prime minister has a high position and weight, he still has many enemies.

The Quanzhen Sect generally does not participate in such matters. If Zhang Junbao goes to the prime minister's residence, it will inevitably give people the impression that the Quanzhen Sect supports the prime minister.

Although the Quanzhen Sect was defeated this time, it is inevitable that its power will weaken.

Even if the power of the Quanzhen sect is hit, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

So whether Zhang Junbao can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion depends on Qi Zhicheng's intention, or the intention of Huolong Daoist.

It's just that the prime minister said so, he can only do his best.

"Your name is Zhang Junbao? Do you study under Huolong Daoist?" Ba Shi asked with a smile.

From this point of view, Qi Zhicheng was really determined to let Zhang Junbao play.

He is not afraid of Qi Zhicheng, but he is very afraid of the real Huolong who has never met.

As an emperor teacher, he has seen a lot, so he certainly knows a lot about the masters in the rivers and lakes, and among the masters he can remember, this real Huolong is one of them.

"Yes."

"I don't know where the commander is?" Ba Shi asked again.

He knew that there should be no Daoist Huolong here, and it was unlikely that that tall man would appear here with his temperament.

"Master is retreating." Zhang Junbao replied, he must not reveal the matter of Master's departure.

As for them knowing in the future, that is a matter of the future.

After all, this kind of thing can't be kept hidden.

"When the real person leaves the customs, the poor monk will definitely pay a visit." Ba Shi laughed.

Now everyone on the field basically knew Zhang Junbao's identity, and also had some understanding of his master Huolong Zhenren.

That is really a master, even the emperor teacher respects him so much.

However, there are also many people who think that Ba Shi is just putting on a show, and it seems to be respectful, but it is not the case. First raise the Huolong real person, and then lead the fire to the Huolong real person.

In their view, this possibility is very high.

After all, Huolong Daoist's lineage can be traced back to Changchun Daoist Qiu Chuji, such a character, Qi Zhicheng is not enough for him.

They knew very well that this young emperor was proud and arrogant, and that defeating Qi Zhicheng might not satisfy him.

Now that there is a fire dragon real person, wouldn't it be a better goal?

"Then Daoist Zhang, I don't know if your fate means Quanzhen Sect or Lingshi?" Ba Shi asked again.

He is now putting his seniority in the same position as Qi Zhicheng. As for Huolong Daoist, he can't be so entrusted with it.

So no matter how young Zhang Junbao was, he was still in Qi Zhicheng's generation, so he gave him a little respect.

Speaking of which, he himself is actually not very old.

"It's what I teach Quanzhen." Qi Zhicheng said.

Although he felt that Zhang Junbao was Master Huolong's backer, he still wasn't sure.

My own Quanzhen sect has been disgraced this time, and I am not afraid of disgusting Kublai again.

In any case, this matter cannot be involved with Uncle Huolong.

Many people watching from the side nodded secretly.

Look, the goal of the emperor's master is indeed to go to Huolong Daoist.

Ba Shi smiled slightly, Qi Zhicheng's voice was as he expected.

As long as this kid is on the field, he will find a way to link these things with Huolong Daoist, and damage the prestige of this expert senior, and it will be a major blow to Taoism at that time.

"It's Xiaodao's own idea, and it has nothing to do with others." Zhang Junbao said.

Ba Shi was taken aback by this.

"Interesting." Kublai Khan glanced at Zhang Junbao, smiled and said, "This little Taoist leader is quite courageous, but he is brave, so let's talk about it."

The onlookers were stunned.

His Majesty's attitude has obviously changed.

As expected of Huolong Daoist, even His Majesty gave face.

You must know that His Majesty was very annoyed by Zhang Junbao's actions just now, but now that he knows Zhang Junbao's identity, his tone has become kinder, which can be said to be a world of difference.

Zhang Junbao slowly walked from his seat to the venue for the debate.

To be honest, he still didn't think of any words to say. Just now, he just felt that if he kept quiet, the matter would be a foregone conclusion.

As he walked, he thought, for the current plan, he can only mess around.

Maybe only you can do this here.

Because of my young age and because of my master, if I really want to offend Kublai Khan, maybe I can forgive him.

If it were someone else from the Taoist sect, I am afraid it would not end well.

Thinking of this, Zhang Junbao's heart sank and he decided to take a gamble.

Just when Zhang Junbao couldn't think of a way to go all out, there was a commotion in the crowd.

I saw a golden eagle hovering over the crowd at some point, with a wingspan of nearly ten feet, making a sharp cry in the air.

At the same time, the onlookers evaded for a while, only to see a white rabbit jumping out from under their feet and rushing directly to the center of the sutra debate field.

A phantom came down from top to bottom, so fast that people couldn't see clearly. When he saw clearly, the golden eagle had already grabbed the white rabbit between its sharp claws. The sharp claws penetrated into the fur, and blood oozed out.

Zhang Junbao's heart moved, before anyone could react, he rushed towards the golden eagle.

The golden eagle's pointed beak was about to peck the rabbit's head.

It suddenly found that its neck was held by someone, and then its ankles were also grabbed by someone.

In pain, his paws let go of the rabbit.

The rabbit regained its freedom, turned over, and ran away without a trace.
