148: The storm rises

Volume 1 of Taoist Night Fighting the Sword: Visiting the Mountains and Rivers in Search of Wonderful Dharma Chapter 148: The Wind and Rain Rises There are people in the state of Qian who are in charge of sacrificial ceremonies. Outside the country, they are the state preceptors. In the palace, they are the priests. They have to perform baptisms in the palace every month. .

The priest is the high priest of the God of Winter. She lives in seclusion in the palace all year round and rarely leaves the palace. It seems that she has no ears to hear what is going on outside the palace and only serves the God of Winter.

In the inner palace, under the position of priest, there are other positions, such as the female officer of admonishment, the female officer of blessing, the female officer of calamity, and the female officer of rituals.

Jia Yuanjiao is a female official in the rites and scriptures. In the harem, there is a scripture reading day every seven days, in the morning and evening.

Generally, those who come to the palace are those of higher status, including concubines and princesses. In the evening, there are some lower-status palace maids. As for the eunuchs, they can only kneel outside the auditorium to listen and watch.

Jia Yuanjiao returned to her residence after presiding over today's ritual reading.

She lit the lamp and sat in front of the dressing table, ready to take off her makeup. In the mirror in front of her, a woman with an oval face remained motionless for a long time.

She already knew about her father's death. The priest had already told her that the murderer, Lou Jinchen, later made him

She was told that Lou Jinchen was in Taixue, and someone said that if she wanted revenge, the God of Winter would be willing to do it for her.

It's just that the words were not so straightforward, but Jia Yuanjiao got a letter from her great-grandmother, telling her not to get too close to the God of Winter.

It's just that she can't help herself in the palace, and her father used to be in charge of matters at home. Now it's obvious that the great-grandmother is in charge of the Jia family again. Since the great-grandmother has received a letter, she has to obey it. She felt the pressure. The palace was the headquarters of the Church of the God of Winter. Even the queen was a believer of the God of Winter. Jia Yuanjiao still knew a thing or two about what Dong did to her father. Although she was shameless, But that was his father after all. His father died, and as a daughter, she should naturally take revenge.

The meaning of Grandma's letter is obviously that the Jia family cannot be allowed to become a point of contention in the struggle between the Imperial Prefecture and the Church of the God of Winter. Otherwise, the Jia family may become a fan in this struggle. As the saying goes. , the two beasts are fighting, and if you stand too close, you will be trampled to death. The ceremonial priest of the church can be regarded as inferior to the high priest and superior to all the believers. Although Jia Yuanjiao has to read "Winter of the Year" every seven days Shen Jingshi Liuli Sutra", but she was not a member of the Winter God Cult when her father was still alive, nor was she a believer of the Winter God Cult, but no one had ever said anything. Now these words are coming out. , she knew sensitively that this was what the Church of the God of Winter was telling her about her own insidious words behind her failure to accept Winter.

He also said that many fellow practitioners were just trying to figure out some killing spells together, which was really unbecoming of a monk, and he did not want to practice any more.

After getting used to it, I would rather go to the mountains and be the master of a temple to watch the changes of the sun, moon and stars than deal with these common people and things.

She had known for a long time that Brother Yu didn't like to practice, but now that the Jia family was in crisis, he still had such thoughts, which made her panic.

Two days later, a woman suddenly found her.

She recognized that this woman was the maid who had always been with the Heavenly Priest. She came here with only one intention, that is, to join the Winter Cult, and then the Heavenly Priest would arrange for her to become the concubine of Heaven and Earth.

Jia Yuanjiao knew that the high priest definitely had this ability, because the entire harem was under the control of the God of Winter.

She thought to herself, if she could become the king's concubine, would she be able to save her family from being drowned in this turmoil?

He previously killed a night watchman from the Five Zang God Sect, and he also felt that he needed to explain the matter to the Great Elder. It can be tolerated."

She began to write letters home.

But the First Elder just sighed and said: "Actually, he wants to become a night watchman in the Imperial Academy. I have already anticipated his thoughts. He has a very good relationship with his sister, and he loves her very much. Xiao

Tong, that kid, it’s a pity. The Five Zang Divine Sect doesn’t mind the people in the sect understanding the “divine law”, but if there is any connection with the people from the Secret Spirit Sect, that’s not right.

"Huo Pei understood the divine law and combined it with the art of the heart and ghost, and summed up a spell. He stayed in the main altar, maybe it was just under his influence. Xiao Tong also came into contact with the divine law, but he didn't

Not just to gain enlightenment, but to participate in some of the sacrifices performed by the Mystic Spirit Cult. Xiao Sheng’s parents died at the hands of the Mystic Spirit Cult back then.”

Elder Kong Da didn't finish his words and continued: "However, Huo Pei may be harmful to you, but I didn't tell you. Will you blame me?"

What did Elder Tian say?" Lou Jinchen said: "He has the intention to do harm to me, that's what he thinks in his heart, but he also understands that although the great elder takes care of him because of the relationship with the temple master, he is not

It is impossible for his relatives to help him without a bottom line, and he cannot form the kind of trust in anyone that a junior has for his elders.

"When you killed Xiao Tong, there were still many people in the sect who thought that you should be punished, and Huo Pei was the main one among them. However, I understand that with your methods and Huo Pei's ability, you will be punished.

The law will not be your opponent. Although you have not joined the Five Zang God Sect, you can still be regarded as a member of the Five Zang God Sect. His death in your hands is the answer.

Take it from yourself. Now I am teaching you in your room, and you are not here. After he came back with a hot body, I went there and didn't see the mountain leader. Lou Jinchen immediately wanted to understand why he said it later.

The knights dared to duel in the forbidden forest because they might also find that the mountain chief was not there. The two great edicts had the final say in the entire Imperial Academy.

Recently, a person publicly said at a Dharma meeting that the mountain chief of Taixue has disappeared." The words of Elder Kong Da.

"Paper Man Zhang." Elder Kong Da said: "This person has practiced the Tao of Ascension, but he is good at drawing paper man clones, and his paper-cutting skills are even better. When others asked him how he was sure about the disappearance of Mount Taixue,

He said that he once entered Taixue once in a paper body, and then came back safely. The paper person had no loss. You know, in all these years, there has never been a ghost or a substitute who entered Taixue and was able to return safely.

of."

When Lou Jinchen heard this, he thought of the paper man he killed. Could it be him?

So he said: "Before Huo Pei came to find me, two other people attacked me sneakily."

Elder Kong Da raised his eyebrows, and Lou Jinchen immediately explained the situation at that time.

Elder Kong Da immediately said: "That paper man must be this paper man. In the whole capital, under the transformation of gods,

There is no one other than Paper Man Zhang who can use paper man clones to control magic weapons."

"May I ask the elder, do you know where he lives?" As soon as Lou Jinchen said this, Elder Kong immediately thought of him assassinating Xiao Tong.

"You want to kill him?" Elder Kong Da asked.

"As the saying goes, it's disrespectful to come and not return. It would be fine if he just disappears. If he dares to show up, he will naturally be sent away," Lou Jinchen said.

At this time, the great elder leaned back on the Taishi chair, gently brushed his beard with one hand, and his eyes became clear, like an old fox.

He said: "You are going to kill people. I am cautious. This may be a trap."

"Oh?" Lou Jinchen also felt that this was a possibility, but he relied on intuition, while Elder Kong Da relied on his understanding of the situation in the entire capital.

After Kong Sheng brought a plate of fruit, she stood there silently, not making a sound or even breathing. She seemed to like listening to the senior monks talking about various important events, and she always stood there and listened.

.

What you don’t know is that yesterday, the king ordered Jia Yuanjiao, who has been in the palace for many years, to be made a virtuous concubine. This shows that the Jia family has turned to the God of Winter. The Jia family’s own strength is not as good as before, but its influence

But not small.”

Lou Jinchen frowned and asked: "Then what does this have to do with whether this paper man Zhang is a trap?

Tell me, if this paper man Zhang went to kill you, could it be that his final target was the mountain chief?" the old man asked.

"Mountain Chief? Kill a fourth-level monk who has a short lifespan?" Lou Jinchen asked. He felt that it was not necessary. After all, it is difficult to kill a fourth-level monk. People are obviously waiting to die, but you still want to

If you provoke him, you will probably be killed. However, the first elder analyzed: "Look, the mountain chief will not allow any strange things."

Entering Taixue, and a clone enters it to kill people, does the mountain chief have to find where his true deity is? Does this mountain chief get to Taixue? You said that the longevity of the mountain is endless, but it seems that you and the mountain chief have something to do with each other.

We have had quite a few exchanges, but with the current situation, I feel like a storm is coming."

"There are already all kinds of naked temptations, and they are already trying to weaken that kind of strength. You can see from the fact that the Church of the God of Winter made Jia Yuanjiao the king's concubine. They are testing the king's attitude.

, after testing the king’s attitude, they may take action.”

What is your attitude when the daughter of the King's Najia family becomes a concubine?" Lou Jinchen asked

"This means that the king is on the side of the Church of the God of Winter." the great elder said.

"Why is this?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is taking care of all this, and the Queen is a member of the Church of the God of Winter, so naturally this will

The person who told Datuna was a member of the Church of the God of Winter, and this person was from the Jia family. He represented the purest group of old nobles in the Daqian Kingdom. The magical power of winter made the daughter of the Jia family become a princess, which was what he told Datuna.

Everyone, the Jia family is the God of Winter and is on the side of the Church of the God of Winter, and the king has accepted this fact. After all, the Jia family represents a large number of nobles and nobles. "Will the king want to bring the Church of the God of Winter to the Church in the future?"

A large number of nobles should be eradicated?" the great elder said.

But Lou Jinchen had other ideas. He felt that what the great elder analyzed might be what most people were thinking, so

Said: "Could it be that Da Tu actually wants to eradicate the Church of the God of Winter, but now it is just the intention of the Church of the God of Winter?"

The great elder pondered for a while and said: "Did you know that when Emperor Gaozu said that kings and scholars share the world, he also said

However, the families of the first-generation great warriors who fought with him cannot be destroyed as long as they do not commit crimes against the royal family."

"Oh, there is such a thing." Lou Jinchen still disagreed with Elder Tian's opinion. However, Elder Tian was from the capital and had lived in the Daqian Kingdom for a long time, while Lou Jinchen came from far away. I know how ruthless countless emperors in history were when they fell out.

He couldn't tell which side the Qian Kingdom would be on, because he didn't know much about the capital and the customs and culture of the Qian Kingdom, and this was a country where the king and the monks shared the world.

It's hard to judge without having any contact with the soil.

"What kind of Tao does the king cultivate?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"This is the biggest secret of the royal family. Maybe everyone who followed Gaozu to conquer the world in the past knows it, but everyone in the future knows it.

No one mentioned it again, and it became a secret of the royal family. However, those princes have different spiritual paths, but as soon as they become kings, they seem to be able to immediately change the fundamental method of their practice."

This actually surprised Lou Jinchen and said, "I really want to see it."

"Don't mess around. The palace is a forbidden area. If you enter, you will die." The great elder said.

I just said that I wanted to see things, and I didn’t say that I wanted to go to the palace.

"Lou Jinchen said: "Let's not talk about other things for now. How about you, Great Elder, tell me why you asked me to come out of the Imperial Academy?"

"The mountain leader may indeed have something wrong." Lou Jinchen said: "Are you talking about the leader of your Five Zang God Sect?"

I called you out, firstly, to ask you if something happened to the chief of the Imperial Academy, and secondly, because something happened to our leader."

"Yes, the leader said that if something happens to the mountain leader, then his matter must be dealt with urgently, because many people don't know that the mountain leader and the national master have actually known each other for a long time and have a deep personal relationship. If If something happens to the mountain leader, it will be the people from the God of Winter Cult who take action."

Lou Jinchen couldn't help but think of what happened in that small courtyard, and couldn't help but wonder, isn't that a coincidence? If it wasn't a coincidence, then the National Master's plan might not be launched until a year later, but the Winter God Cult is actually starting now Have you taken action?

What's wrong with your leader?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"You should know that for so many years in our Five Zang God Sect, no one has broken through to become a god. Is that why?" the great elder said.

"Why?" Lou Jinchen asked.
