The person who was not listening to this was stunned: "What did you say? You took the turn for you? Didn't you be vigilant in the local sacrificial hall that day?"

"Oh..." Taoist Xu Shu seemed to know that he was wronged. He looked around with embarrassment and saw that no one was paying attention. Then he pulled the person who was not at the tunnel and walked a few steps, and came to a slightly remote place and whispered: "Uncle Butong, you have been guarding the mountain for a long time, and you don't know the details of our mountain. How many people are there to guard the sacred temple in the ground will really go there in person? Anyway, I just meditate and sleep for two days, and I'm so bored that I just want to find someone to replace him. As long as I let someone inside, I'll do it. This is not me alone. Who is not like this? Even the uncle of the stewardship school turns a blind eye. After all, this is an old habit that has been passed down for no reason..."

The person who did not know that the matter of guarding the earth spirit master had become a formality, he did not expect that he would be so careless. He quickly asked in a low voice: "...Who was the person who replaced you that day? What happened later?"

"It's just a choreer who often works for me... After guarding me that night, I gave him a few taels of silver. He came out and went to the restaurant at the foot of the mountain to drink. I don't know how much he drank. He had to go to the kiln at night, but he died of wind in a woman's stomach. The junior brother who was on duty at the back had just found someone to replace him. He waited until the trouble broke out in the earthly temple on the third day and the uncle of the chief yard came to me to ask questions. How dare I tell him about this? I had to say that I was indeed asleep inside that day... But you can know about this, don't talk about it everywhere..."

"...Don't worry, I will naturally not talk nonsense..." The person who did not speak casually, but his mind was already a little uneasy. Behind such a major event was so almost a joke, which made him feel absurd and seemed to be even more vaguely creepy. The personnel and affairs of the church had become like this without realizing it. If someone designed it, wouldn't it be...

But soon, these people who don’t think can be left behind. These major things are not something he should worry about. Even if the sky falls, there are always tall men to take over. Now the most important thing is to manage the opportunity in front of him well.

"Hey, I said that this Earth Spirit Hall is worthy of such a value? Isn't it just to throw a few death row prisoners in every year to suppress resentment and resentment? These old rules that have been passed down for hundreds of years should be abolished..." Taoist Xu Shu complained again at this time. The true identity of the Earth Spirit Master is top secret in Longhu Mountain. You have to have a certain level of cultivation. Only with enough experience can you be qualified to know. At least it is impossible for Taoist Xu Shu, a young Taoist who has such a status under his father's guise, is impossible.

You know. The guardian of the Earth Spirit Hall was originally the responsibility of the true disciples. However, over the past few hundred years, the ground spirit masters were not unusual, but the foundation of Longhu Mountain was getting bigger and bigger. The true disciples were not enough to separate the Taoist temples in the local county towns, so they naturally distributed this matter to young disciples. Naturally, the real meaning of the Earth Spirit Hall would not be told to them. They just followed the fact that they had to send in several death row prisoners collected from various places every year, and described the Earth Spirit Hall as a place to suppress the wronged souls and hostility of these evil people.

"The rules set by the ancestors are of course of profound meaning, and everything in the teaching is mastered by the heavenly master. There is a certain degree of determination to deal with the heavenly master. You must not talk about these words in front of others." The uninterrupted man said to Taoist Xushu with a little blame and seriousness. He was also a little annoyed about such a young man who didn't know what he was.

"Yeah, I naturally know this. I just talked to Uncle Butong." Taoist Xu Shu smiled discontently.

"I don't know the uncle, I don't know the uncle." At this time, a young Taoist walked out of the guide hall, looking around and greeting loudly. "The Heavenly Master sent an oral order to ask the uncle to tell the uncle to go to the Heavenly Master quickly."

The man who did not know the last word of Taoist Xushu gave a few words, then turned around and walked quickly with the young Taoist. This was originally a great opportunity he had been waiting for here. But for some reason, suddenly there was a haze in his heart that came from nowhere, which made him unable to be happy.

###

In the Heavenly Master Hall, Zhang Tianshi was sitting upright on the imperial throne and listening to the report of the uninterrupted person.

What the people in Wuxi County reported was what he did, saw and heard in Wuxi County these days, and how Zhang Yuhong suddenly came two days ago, so that he could not interfere in the affairs of the Earth Spirit Master, and then fought with the Earth Spirit Master, which led to chaos in the city. The people in Wuxi did not lie, and the lies on these major matters could not stand scrutiny and verification. The people in Wuxi County had long passed the point where they needed to rely on lies to achieve results. He just changed the details on the details. Some might as well talk about them in detail, and some might as well mention them in one sentence, which would give people a very different feeling.

"...It seems that the earth spirit master has escaped after all?" Zhang Tianshi sighed, closed his eyes and shook his head. "It actually caused a lot of trouble. Junior Brother Yuhong has always been in every way, but this time he miscalculated."

"The earth spirit master is cunning. He used all the underground canals in Jingnan, just like his own nest. In addition, although the earth spirit master is not a human being, he is hundreds of years old and has a great cultivation level of Taoism. It seems that this forced arrest is indeed not feasible." Another old Taoist priest with white hair and beard sitting nodded, and then he turned to look at the person who does not know the truth. He said, "It's not easy to be steadily conscious of his nephew's affairs, and he is quite like a general. It seems that it's a bit in a position to let you guard the Wuxi City."

"Uncle Lingguang is too awarded." The man who did not enter the tunnel lowered his head in a little panic, but he couldn't help but feel happy. This old Taoist Lingguang is an elder in the sect. He is a generation higher than Zhang Yuanling, who is the noble Tianshi. His praise is extremely important. It seems that the words he had spent two days to think carefully were not in vain. "I also had a premonition that day that I had a strong sense of use against the Earth Spirit Master, but Senior Brother Yuhong is far from me to control, so the disciple rushed to the Sect quickly... Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Yuhong could not help but fight with the Earth Spirit Master head-on, and the result was a storm all over the city, and people were panic..."

"This child Yu Hong is indeed a bit reckless in his actions." The old Taoist Lingguang nodded deeply and looked at Zhang Tianshi intentionally or unintentionally. "His talent in Taoism is certainly a genius that I am a rare genius in Longhu Mountain in a century, but he is a little reckless in his heart and nature. After all, he is not a person who can accomplish great things."

Master Zhang Tian's eyes were half closed, as if he didn't seem to pay attention to the look of the old Taoist in Lingguang. He was thinking about what questions he was thinking for a moment, and then looked up and asked, "You said that the monk Shifang was actually carrying two young men and women in the shadow guards. Maybe it's certain? Is there any real evidence?"

"This... is naturally not sure." The person who did not hesitate for a moment, and finally did not dare to make an attribution. "The people of the Shadow Guard have always been very secretive, so how can they be easily obtained by others? I am just speculating. After all, it is not a matter of one or two days for Shadow Guard to secretly favor those bald donkeys. After the Shifang little bald donkey was driven away by us, he brought them back with two people in a fierce manner, which naturally shows that the identities of these two people are very strange. And when he was disguised as a dress in Wuxi City to inquire about the news, the Shifang Monk seemed to be under the command of these two people..."

"It seems that he is really a member of the Shadow Guard." The old Taoist Lingguang took a breath, his face also felt a little solemn. "Is it possible that the monk from the Pure Land Zen Temple who wanted to intervene this time, would the Shadow Guard's instruct behind him? I think this matter needs to be carefully considered and treated with caution. I also ask the Heavenly Master to invite several other elders and the Palm Court."

Master Zhang Tian nodded and waved his hand to the Taoist boy behind him: "Tell me what I say, go and invite the other three elders, as well as several deacons and the governors."

The Taoist boy was ordered to leave quickly. The person who did not pass the passage bowed and said, "After reporting, I will leave first."

"It's okay, you can stay here and listen." Lingguang waved his hand. "You've dealt with it very well this time. There was no way to leave the shadow guard at all. As for the situation that was out of control later, it had nothing to do with you. Maybe there are still important things to do in the future. What is the intention of the Heavenly Master?"

Master Zhang also nodded and looked at the person who was not in touch with the eyes. His expression was full of kindness and praise: "Yes, I am not familiar with the junior brother and have a cautious attitude and unique vision. He is a rare and capable talent in the teachings."

"The Heavenly Master is wrong." The person who did not enter the passage suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and bowed to salute. He knew very well that this was not a simple verbal affirmation. He could stay here to listen to the discussion between the Heavenly Master and several elders next. This meant that he had entered the circle that made him dream of. This huge sense of happiness came towards him, almost making him feel a little dizzy.

Next, several elders and the head court came to the office. They discussed for half an hour in the Tianshi Mansion, and the main content was about how to deal with the Shadow Guard and the court. Every elder was worried after hearing about the fact that the earth spirit master was about. Over the years, the Daqian court promoted the Buddhist momentum through the Shadow Guards openly and secretly, and then supported the risen Taoist sects such as the Maoshan Shangqing Sect, Zhenwu Sect and other Taoist sects. The status of the leader of the Tianshi Sect has gradually declined in the world. Only the only thing that cooperated with Shenjitang in recent years is a small highlight. However, Shenjitang has now shrunk in Shuzhou to seek protection from the Tang Sect, and it is difficult for him to protect himself.

"It's said that there is a ghost in the court. Although the Zhao family of Daqian won the world immediately, it was not all shot by himself. It was also all because of the great families and sects who were tired of war and separatist and were concerned about the invasion of the West Di wild people in the south. This was the emperor elected by the people. The Zhao family itself was not well-founded, so they naturally had many concerns about the grasslands of the rivers and lakes. Our Tianshi scholar Longhu Mountain once commanded the people of Jingnan to teach the people of Shinto, and the people's hearts were as strong as iron. Even the founding of the previous dynasty was also the ancestor who helped him. In addition, the prestige accumulated over hundreds of years of prestige, the Zhao family naturally had to worry. It was because of the face and the oath at the beginning of the founding of the country, and he would never interfere in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, so he could only use the Shadow Guard's hand to use some despicable means..."

"It is true. It is also that the bald donkeys in Buddhism have always been obedient and good at bewitching people's hearts. The court naturally has to rely on it and borrow it to win the hearts of the people with our Taoist sect. At the beginning of this dynasty, the Pure Land Zen Temple gave 90% of the land under its name to be reborn as the officials. It is really a good move! As a result, when the court legislated, it stipulated that the world would assist the government in guarding the government, and half of the monk temples and Taoist temples that eliminated demons and subdued demons. After years of this, we will have the current atmosphere... Could it be that now we should learn those bald donkeys to use one move to retreat as advance, and hand over the foundation passed down by the ancestors?"

"Nonsense! The ancestor has gone through a lot of hardships to create this holy land of Taoism. If it is handed over to us, see that the ancestor is not descending the five thunders in the sky and bombarding you with a soul! Even if the ancestor is generous and ignores this world, can you pass that level in your heart? Are you not afraid that future generations will scold you for bullying your master and destroying your ancestors?"

"What should I do now? The Earth Spirit Master is related to my Tianshi Sect's reputation for hundreds of years. If such a handle falls into the hands of the Shadow Guard, it would be unimaginable!"

“…”

“…”

The elders and the yard were arguing endlessly, and the person who did not speak was not spoken aside. But he listened honestly and felt that he had benefited a lot. Many joints that he had never thought of before were slashed through the words of these elders, which made him sigh in his heart. It turns out that the higher the status, the longer the vision. But after everyone talked, it seemed that they could not find a good solution to the current dilemma.

"Actually... we also have a way to let the Shadow Guard stand on our side." At this time, the old Taoist Lingguang suddenly said something, which surprised everyone else.

"What? Elder Lingguang, do you think this is serious? What can I do?" Immediately someone looked at the Taoist Lingguang in disbelief.

"Of course it's true." The old Taoist Lingguang smiled slightly, but he didn't say it in detail, just looked at Master Zhang Tian.

"I have my own arrangements for this matter. Everyone does not need to panic, and there is no need to ask more questions for the time being. Everyone will know it at that time." Master Zhang Tian did not explain, but just said lightly. He had just listened to the arguments of the elders, his eyes seemed to be closed, and then he opened it.

"...Then...what should we deal with it now? Should we send someone to help Yu Hong Zhenren?"

"No need. Since I have entrusted the full power of this matter to Yu Hong, then let him deal with it at will. I believe he will give us a satisfactory answer." Zhang Tianshi's expression seemed to be something profound hidden deep in the depths, and it seemed to be nothing. Like his words and attitude, it stood in the clouds like a god, which made people awe and unpredictable.

###

After reporting to the Tianshi and the elders, the people who did not rush to go down the mountain immediately, but stayed in Longhu Mountain for a night.

This time, I went up the mountain to report the situation of the Earth Spirit Master and Zhang Yuhong, which made people in the tunnel gain so much. It was a bit overjoyed, but this was not a surprise like a fortune from heaven. It seemed a simple thing, and if there was no sufficient preparation and arrangement behind it, it would be impossible to achieve such a result.

Of course, there are more to finish.

In the evening, the person who did not enter the tunnel came to his senior brother. Today, he also attended the negotiations in the Tianshi Mansion in the Yuantong Palm Courtyard room.

"Senior Brother, thanks to your tips, I have the opportunity to meet today." As soon as we met, the person who did not know the passage gave a big gift to Yuantong Palm Academy.

"Okay. Why do we brothers talk about these false rituals?" Yuantong Palm Courtyard went up to help the people who did not pass the passage. "This is also the reason why you are doing things properly and can seize the opportunity. This time, the instant notification was in the eyes of the Heavenly Master, and Uncle Lingguang said good things to you. Maybe it won't take long to transfer you from the small place in Wuxi County, and at least it will be a big city of more than 100,000 people, and it may even let you go back to the mountain to take charge of affairs. At that time, our brothers and brothers will have great potential."

The faces of the uninterrupted person were laughing, but he didn't forget to take out a stack of silver notes that had been prepared from his waist and presented them with both hands: "This is my junior brother's little intention. I have accumulated in Wuxi City over the years, only 100,000 taels of silver. Please accept it with a smile."

The vain is exempted from being a gift, but the benefits cannot be ignored. Yuan Tong reached out and took it and smiled, "This is not what I want to do. Since I have asked Uncle Lingguang to speak for you, I have to give him some advice."

"That's nature, that's nature." The man without tunnel nodded repeatedly. After thinking about it, he asked again: "What should I do now? Should I go back to Wuxi City? How should I deal with that Master Yu Hong? Please give me some advice."

"No need to rush back. Haven't you heard what the Heavenly Master said? Since the Heavenly Master has entrusted the matter to Master Yu Hong, then he will let him do it. All the Heavenly Master has their own arrangements. You and I just need to watch quietly and do not have to do anything cleverly."

"It's the extreme, it's the extreme. A great man like Tianshi naturally has his own deep meaning in his actions." Thinking of Zhang Tianshi's unfathomable expression and demeanor, people who do not know the truth and demeanor are no longer convinced, even thinking about it more often is unnecessary.
