Pawn Crossing the River

This grasp seemed calm and gentle, but in fact it blocked all the space around Bai Yingqiong.

Bai Yingqiong had no choice but to return to her body, and then she was caught in the palm of Zhenjun Siming's hand.

There is an allusion in Buddhism: The mind is like a monkey and the mind is like a horse. No matter how powerful the mind is, it cannot escape from the palm of Buddha.

It's exactly the same now.

Even though Bai Yingqiong is a heavenly being in the immeasurable stage, she cannot escape from the hands of Lord Siming.

Countless yin energy swept toward Bai Yingqiong, as if to fill the entire world. Ordinary people here would turn into withered bones in the blink of an eye. Bai Yingqiong used talismans to form a lotus-shaped formation around her body to block the Yin energy. However, under the erosion of Yin Qi, the brilliance quickly faded, and the originally blooming lotus turned into a closed bud. The magic circle was crumbling and could only be barely maintained.

Sikong Cuo stood at the feet of Zhenjun Siming, suffering from the "Red Lotus Karmic Fire". This kind of method was very difficult and he could only rely on himself. At the same time, he had to maintain the small world that trapped Pei Xiaolou.

Zhang Yuelu naturally saw this scene, and did not act rashly. It was not because she was afraid, but because she knew that rushing to rescue Bai Yingqiong would only be giving away one for nothing and would not help the situation.

As she said herself, she can't act on impulse.

One celestial being is useless, two celestial beings are useless, but if there are enough celestial beings, it will be useful.

Zhang Yuelu said softly: "Tianyuan, let's find a way to rescue Mr. Pei. At this time, Li Tianlan, Lu Yushu, Li Mingcheng, and Li Mingzhi will no longer watch from the sidelines. Jiangnan Daofu, Tiangang Hall, and Beichen Hall will assemble. All the manpower can be dragged on for a while, waiting for reinforcements. "

Qi Xuansu asked: "Will they think about the overall situation?"

"It's not for the sake of the overall situation, but for their own sake." Zhang Yuelu said very quickly, "If Jinling Mansion falls, millions of lives will be destroyed, and tens of millions of worry-free money will be lost. It is not peace money, it is useless money." Worrying about money cannot be answered with the head of a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest."

"Perhaps in times of war, the gains and losses of one city or one place would not matter. But now that the peace has lasted for a long time, it would be an earth-shattering event if the entire city was to die."

"Brothers are jealous outside the wall to resist their insults. Taiping Dao can bring the imperial court in, because the predecessor of the imperial court is Beidaomen. Emperor Gaozu is Xuansheng's father-in-law. There are also people from Daoist sects serving in the court. Multiple marriages, not only It was the daughter of the Li family who married into the royal family, and Zhenren Lei from Quanzhen Taoism was also a member of the imperial family. The two parties have long been indistinguishable from each other, and it is difficult to say that they are outsiders. As for the "Tianting" and others, they are all in secret. Things are different. Once they are put on the table, their nature is completely different.”

"Suppose that Senior Sister died in the battle as the Chief Deputy Palace Master, and we also died here. Although they had a serious problem, they must also be directly held accountable. It is unjustifiable to blame such a major event on the dead, and for the sake of people's hearts After considering it, the Taoist sect will not place the blame on the people who died in the battle. It is obvious that the three Taoist societies will quickly reach a consensus and go on a killing spree to give an explanation to the people of the world. At that time, Li Tianlan and several deputy hall masters will be responsible. Anyone else, no matter what their background, will be quickly abandoned and punished as long as they are involved."

"So we don't think about the people in the city, we don't think about the overall situation of the Taoist sect, we just think about themselves, and we can't remain indifferent." Zhang Yuelu's thoughts were still clear.

Qi Xuansu did not hesitate too much: "Okay, let's give it a try."

On the other side, just as Zhang Yuelu expected, even a wily and calculating Li Tianlan would not be able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

He notified all the spiritual officials and Taoist priests to gather together to build formations and defense lines to resist the Yin Qi. At the same time, he was digging drains outside the city to divert the huge Yin Qi. At the same time, he personally came to Mary Cathedral.

At this time, Lei Xiaohuan and Shi Luosi were still in the small world of chessboard and knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world.

Obviously, Li Tianlan is a frequent visitor here, and none of the bishops and archbishops stopped him.

Li Tianlan, wearing a black crane cloak, strode forward, familiar with the road, and did not even need others to lead the way. A group of priests in white robes followed behind.

A Taoist priest is surrounded by a group of priests, which is quite absurd.

"When will this small world be opened?" Li Tianlan asked coldly. Although he was still calm at this time, his previous indifference was gone, and there was a hint of anger in his tone that the situation was out of control.

An archbishop replied in pure Chinese Mandarin: "At noon."

"At noon?" Li Tianlan stopped, "Then we might as well just wait to die."

All the priests also stopped and fell silent.

As Cardinal Deacon Shi Luosi was not here, no one was qualified to talk to Li Tianlan on an equal footing. The two parties have cooperated for many years, which has already made them understand the weight of Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan turned around suddenly and said decisively: "Open the chessboard now and invite both Master Lei and Priest Shi out."

The archbishop hesitated and said: "In order to ensure that Master Lei can be suppressed, the chessboard has been integrated with the entire church. If the small world is forcibly broken, it may cause irreparable damage to the church. This church has spent a lot of effort. After all, A lot of materials have to be transported from the Holy Court headquarters..."

"Jinling Prefecture is in danger, and Jiangnan Dao Prefecture is in danger, so why talk about a church?" Li Tianlan suddenly raised his voice, "We have a saying in the East, which is called 'No eggs are left intact when the nest is overturned.' Jiangnan Dao The government is destroyed and the maritime trade is affected. Can you still enjoy your life as a master here? Do you want to leave the prosperous and rich Jinling and go to the wild New World to become a missionary? "

No one dared to argue.

The New World was poor and had nothing, no gorgeous churches, no jingling silver coins, no devout believers, no generous nobles, not even stable order, only heretics, heretics, criminals, natives, villains, and so-called adventurer.

Only ascetics, or priests with firm beliefs, would go to the New World.

Li Tianlan slowed down his tone again: "Let him go, now, immediately."

The Archbishop no longer objected, but still wanted to say something.

Li Tianlan closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Go."

"Yes." The Archbishop responded and immediately turned around and left.

After the Grand Master left, Li Tianlan, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened them again: "Everyone, please do your best for Jinling Mansion, and especially for yourselves."

Everyone looked at each other in shock at first, and then agreed in unison.

Li Tianlan stopped moving forward, turned around, returned the same way, and strode out of the main entrance of the church.

At this time, there were already people standing outside the church.

There are spiritual officials from Jiangnan Daofu and Beichen Hall. These spiritual officials have built a line of defense to initially resist the erosion of Yin Qi. This has prevented the people in the church from feeling the tide of Yin Qi. Terrible.

In front of many spiritual officials stood Li Mingcheng, Li Mingzhi, Lu Yushu, and a second-grade spiritual official from Jiangnan Daofu who was a direct descendant of Li Tianlan.

These people are waiting for Li Tianlan.

At this point, you can see who is the backbone of the overall situation.

This has a certain relationship with the level of the position, but it is not necessarily related. Li Tianlan is only the second deputy palace master. These people are all deputy hall masters. Although their ranks are slightly lower, there is no reporting relationship in their positions. Moreover, at this time, the Taoist sect has not yet broken up the system, and it is far from relying on the rank system to gather and integrate the remaining soldiers. when.

But at this time, these people did not have any objections and all obeyed Li Tianlan's orders. This was their prestige over the years.

Li Tianlan looked around: "Our manpower is all here. Whether we want to or not, we are going to risk our lives."

Everyone was silent.

Li Tianlan continued: "If Jinling Mansion falls and turns into a dead city, Lord Siming can hide in the Kingdom of God. With so much flesh and blood, so many creatures, it will be enough for him to have no worries for a hundred years, and even enough for him to take the crucial step." One step. But we can't. If we escape now, we will be regarded as a scapegoat. We will be escorted to Yujing afterwards and punished for the crime of abandoning the city and the land. It will not be as simple as losing the future, and we may not be able to save our lives. . So, if you don’t do it for others, you should do your best for yourself.”

Several people nodded gravely.

Li Tianlan ordered: "I'll take people over first. Yushu, you stay here. After Master Lei comes out, explain it to her and let her focus on the overall situation and not be angry. You are both women, so it's easy to talk."

Lu Yushu said seriously: "Don't worry, Mr. Li."
