Chapter 1: Black Box Secret Meeting: Human Pillar to Prevent Disaster
A ridiculously formal succession ceremony ended smoothly and peacefully. On the surface, it looked like a grand and solemn ceremony. The people present were so moved that more than half of them shed tears, as if they were bathing in the grace of Buddha. Write a new page in the history of Cihangjingdian inheritance.26nbsp;
However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this succession ceremony is actually full of dangers. Although everything happened too fast and the whole process seemed like a farce, it was precisely because everything happened too fast and too sudden that there was a conspiracy. The ambitious elements failed to react quickly, and as a result, Cihang Jingdian successfully completed the inheritance of the leadership.
Normally speaking, after the death of Abbot Kucha and the transfer of power in Cihang Jingdian, this process will take at least eight to ten days, which will cause a wave of waves in itself, and the younger generation of monks in the temple are demanding reforms, and the pressure of new and old ideas is impacting All of them will be added to the new head, not to mention the ambitious elements with ulterior motives who colluded with foreign enemies. They were planning to launch a coup to seize power. The death of Abbot Kucha was the opportunity they had been waiting for, and the entire operation would go into trouble at any time. .
However, the sudden appearance of Sun Wu changed the whole situation. According to the temple rules of Cihang Jingdian, the succession ceremony was held on the tenth day after the abbot passed away, so the rebels thought that there were still a few days left. This miscalculation of the timing made them unprepared for the unexpected turn of events on the Xinhuo Platform. They watched helplessly as a completely unfamiliar young man took over the position of the leader, and were extremely disappointed.
If Sun Wu was just an ordinary foreign boy, things would be much simpler, but the rumors surrounding Sun Wu's life experience made the ambitious elements in the temple dare not act rashly. After all, every tributary of the reactionary faction of Cihang Jingdian has something to do with it. The imperial court has countless connections. If the "prince" takes the position of head of Cihang, it is the imperial court's plan to suppress Cihang Jingdian. If you mess around and break the emperor's plan, the consequences will be a tragic death. .
Naturally, Sun Wu didn't understand these complicated political calculations. Xiang Ling analyzed them all for him afterwards, which made him feel dizzy and made him feel that the road ahead was not easy.
But compared with these, Sun Wu had a more difficult problem to deal with, that is, after the succession ceremony was completed, those "meritorious persons" who demanded rewards based on their merits.
It's not correct to say "those", because from the beginning to the end, only Lu Feiyang repeatedly mentioned that "you can't burn bridges by crossing the river" and "you won't recognize your uncle when you become the leader", giving instructions and exerting pressure on the young man.
No matter what, even if he became the head of Cihangjing Hall, Sun Wu would not let Lu Feiyang go to see the martial arts secrets in the Sutra Pavilion. However, Lu Feiyang swore that he would not enter the Sutra Pavilion and would only stay outside. With the promise to take a look at the building from a distance, Sun Wu took Lu Feiyang and Xiao Shang to the back mountain. He wanted them to take a look at the Sutra Pavilion from a distance, but he didn't expect that when Lu Feiyang arrived at the back mountain, he actually dismissed the Sutra Pavilion. Walk straight towards the hillside where the windmill array stands.
"Uncle Lu, you..."
"The safest place is also the most dangerous place. How could the monks in Cihang Jingdian be so old-fashioned and put the secret books in the attic? According to me, the secret books of the Yi Jin Jing and the Marrow Cleansing Sutra must be hidden here. on the hill."
Lu Feiyang wanted to steal the scriptures, and Sun Wu should stop him. However, this self-righteous fallacy made Sun Wu stunned, because the young man himself knew best that all the secrets were indeed stored in the Scripture Storage Pavilion on the hillside.
Although it is a forbidden area, it has nothing to do with martial arts secrets.
However, before Sun Wu could stop him, Lu Feiyang had already pulled out his favorite nine-ring sword, laughed loudly and ran up the slope, ignoring the warning signs outside the woods, and rushed in.
"Xiao Wu, it's too late to stop you, hahaha..."
Lu Feiyang's figure disappeared at the end of the hillside, and the loud laughter was still in his ears. But just ten seconds later, a series of booming explosions reached the ears of Sun Wu and Xiaoshang. The two looked up at the hillside.
In the forest behind, there was a faint light of fire, and among the explosions, there was a strange sound of breaking wind, which sounded like the sound of arrows tearing through the air.
"There is a trap in the woods."
This sentence is not so much Xiao Shang's opinion as it is the consensus of the two. Sun Wu wants Xiao Shang to activate the eavesdropping bug and use the Four Divine Mirrors to see the situation in the woods, but the Four Divine Mirrors have just been taken out, and a
The figure had already stumbled out of the woods.
At first glance, it was almost impossible to recognize who it was. It’s not that he was completely unrecognizable, but most of his body was stained with mud, as if he had fallen into a swamp. The majestic nine-ring knife in his hand was broken into two pieces, and slowly connected with it.
The left foot that was dragging along the ground was bitten by a fat swamp rat and was dragged out with it.
Sun Wu's eyes widened and he didn't know whether he should rush up to take a closer look, but the figure whose whole body was almost covered with mud reached out and touched his head, which was also covered with mud, and said with an embarrassed laugh, "
'Speak with two rows of white teeth.
"...Hahahaha, Xiao Wu, I believe there are no martial arts secrets there. My uncle has been through life and death just now and has already checked it out for you. For the sake of uncle's hard work, can you... call me someone?
The doctor comes to see you?"
The elders' request should be agreed to. Sun Wu turned his head and asked his companions on the side.
"Xiao Shang... I want to ask you something, can I pack this man and send it directly to Liangshanbo?"
After the death of Abbot Kucha, Cihang Jingdian broke the temple rules and elected a new head at lightning speed within one day. The news spread throughout the world almost on the same day. Countless carrier pigeons flew all over the sky.
News spreads in all directions, not including various invisible communication waves.
It is undeniable that this major event caused the entire world to be excited. The imperial capital, military headquarters, and even foreign races were all shaken by this accident. However, for the first time in thousands of years of inheritance, Cihangjing Palace has a lay leader.
And for the first time, he was a fourteen-year-old boy. This matter was more like a big scandal than big news.
Why Abbot Kucha passed the throne to this young man is currently the hottest topic of discussion in the world. All kinds of weird discussions have come out. Countless rumors have emerged on the streets, most of which involve some kind of conspiracy theory. However, because Abbot Kucha
For more than ten years, no one thought that the truth would be so absurd.
In fact, it is not only outsiders who would not think of it, but even the few people involved who have been following Sun Wu feel that they are completely outside the situation. Xiangling is the best example. Although I have long thought that something big will happen in the past few days, Kucha
The sudden death of the abbot was an accident far more serious than expected, and Sun Wu would be appointed to take over as the leader. Who would have thought of such a ridiculous thing before?
After listening to Abbot Kucha's reasons for passing on the throne, the strong impact of the conflict between his own rationality and the absurd facts made Xiangling feel dizzy.
"Passing the throne to an illegitimate child as compensation? Such a rotten reason, it's hard for him to think of it. How could anyone in the world be deceived by such a lie?" Unfortunately, not only does it exist, but it is right in front of him. He has seen it too many times. After Sun Wu's "honesty", Xiangling didn't find it strange at all. However, there were still too many mysteries in the whole matter. Why did Abbot Kucha push Sun Wu to take the position of leader? Lu Feiyang and Xiaoshang vigorously promoted it This matter cannot be for the purpose of stealing scriptures and practicing martial arts. What is the purpose behind it? Also, Ren Wanyou's earth-shattering Tathagata palm is the key to the whole mystery.
If it hadn't been for that holding palm, the eminent monks would not have changed their decision, and the outcome on the Xinhuo Platform would not be what it is now. At that time, I was only a few feet away from Ren Wanyou, but at such a close distance, it turned out that It was impossible to tell whether his shocking palm was caused by his own strength, or whether he had the help of external forces.
There are too many suspicious mysteries, and the only fact before us is that Sun Wu has taken the position of head of Cihang Jingdian. In Xiangling's view, this ascension has too many traces of trying to catch up, and Sun Wu's personal wishes have nothing to do with it. His abilities have been ignored, and everyone around him has ulterior motives. For some time to come, this little young master may be very unhappy and have everything controlled by others.
So, what role should I play? Should I stand in his position, plan for him, protect his interests, and win his favor? Or, plan more for myself and take the opportunity to get involved in this mess. Find some benefits for yourself in the chaos. In the final analysis, Cihang Jingdian suffered a catastrophe, which is not a bad thing for Wanzilou. This kind of opportunity to take advantage of the situation comes to the door. If you don't take advantage of the situation and do something, you would be very sorry for yourself.
If this young master is as ambitious as his expected fiancé, someone who is ready to dominate the world, he will undoubtedly choose the former and make the best use of his talents. However, he is someone who can't even write the word "ambition". It seems pointless for a shy young man who doesn't know how to protect his interests. It seems that the second approach is the right way...
From an intellectual perspective, the answer was very obvious. Xiangling had no reason not to execute it. However, for some reason, she felt a little undecided and wanted to wait a little longer before making a decision.
"It's strange. The right thing should be implemented. The situation in front of us is changing rapidly. If we don't strike first, we will be controlled by others. Why do I hesitate?" Xiang Ling can't explain the strange feeling, but she really didn't expect that someone would take the lead so quickly. He took action and caught everyone off guard.
"I want to talk to the heads of each hall. Xiangling, please help me invite them over, okay?"
Returning from the back hill of Cihang's main hospital with Lu Feiyang, Sun Wu took advantage of the opportunity of Xiaoshang and Lu Feiyang's departure to ask Xiang Ling to help find the heads of each hall.
A woman's body is not suitable for activities in the Cihangjing Palace, but at the moment, the only one Sun Wu can ask for is Xiangling. Xiangling left as ordered, but she was quite surprised when she left. The young man's eyes were surprisingly clear. There was no trace of doubt, as if he had figured something out.
When the heads of the various halls and courtyards came as promised, they gathered in the Zen room, lined up in a row, and sat cross-legged on the futon in front of Sun Wu, their cassocks laid on the floor. Every old face, who was at least four times the age of the new head, looked at them.
It was always cloudy and uncertain, and everyone had different thoughts, speculating on the young man's intention of secretly summoning everyone here.
Sun Wu's ascension to the throne contained so many traces of intrigue and design that even the eminent monks couldn't figure out whether there was anyone else hiding behind this young man? If he was the only one, he was just an ignorant person.
He is an ignorant young man, but if there is an expert behind him, or even a powerful force backing him, it would be a completely different matter.
After all, the series of unexpected changes on the Xinhuo Platform still make the eminent monks feel confused. That Tathagata palm has a hidden meaning. If the leaders of each hall refuse to recognize Sun Wu, this palm
When the Buddha's light first appears, he will kill everyone on the Xinhuo Platform with one palm. Taking advantage of the chaos, he forcefully takes over Cihangjing Palace. The casualties in the conflict will be extremely heavy, so the eminent monks have to obey the authority. Although
Abbot Kucha confessed to them before his death that Sun Wu was his illegitimate son, but they did not forget that rumors had begun to spread in the world that this young man was the emperor...
Today, Cihang Jingdian is in turmoil. There are young disciples inside who are rebelling, and there are ambitious elements outside who are eyeing them. Under such circumstances, it is not a bad thing for this young man to have strong support behind him.
On the contrary, if he does not have the support of strong people, he will immediately cause a big chaos, because an ignorant young man with no ability and no backing will never be able to sit on the turbulent waves. If he cannot suppress and calm this turmoil, he will be in trouble.
The Cihang Jingdian in the palace will fall apart at any time and turn into a bloody battlefield.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, it's already midnight. But if we don't talk about some things now, it will definitely cause you more trouble."
The young man who was the first to break the uncomfortable silence sat on the futon and bowed to all the eminent monks. This action greatly surprised the heads of the various halls and courtyards. Half of them quickly bowed down and returned the salute, but there were still many people who were doubtful.
No action.
"What happened today happened very suddenly. I don't know why I became the leader, but I just thought about it and I think there are some things that I should tell you."
