Baihuashan Dojo is located at the junction of Pingjing City and Baojing Province, and is very quiet amid the mountains.
There is a Taoist temple in the distance near the top of the mountain. It is different from the palace-style buildings with azure roofs and ocher-red exterior walls that are common in Pingjing. Its walls and exterior facades are made of blue bricks, not even whitewashed.
The simple and natural blue brick walls, the iron-colored tube tiles with a heavy and serious feel, and the eaves and ridges have a light and elegant shape. This Fanglong Temple appeared six hundred years ago.
It was renovated on the original site more than 30 years ago.
The most distinctive landscape of Fanglong Temple is a stone square in front of the mountain gate. The beams and pillars are wrapped with carved dragons. This is the only historic site that has been basically preserved intact. The owner of Fanglong Temple is Yang Jidao, a disciple of Fang Chuanchan.
.
The location of Baihuashan Dojo is still some distance away from Fanglong Temple. Standing in Baihuashan Dojo and looking at the heights of the mountain, you can just see the cornices of the back hall of Fanglong Temple.
Baihuashan Dojo lives up to its name of Baihua,
Wintersweet is fragrant in this season. Plum blossoms are not a forest. Take a few steps and turn a corner.
Unexpectedly, a tree greeted us.
There are flowers of the four seasons in Baihua Mountain, and their distribution characteristics are almost the same. Plum blossoms are just landscape decorations. In the first month, not only plum blossoms bloom, but also several other rare flowers and plants, many of which are also elixirs.
The houses in the dojo are also very unique, most of them are thatched houses with earthen walls and wooden pillars. They have bluestone foundations, and large wooden floors are paved inside the houses and on the corridors under the eaves, giving them a sense of age.
The grass on the roof is not ordinary straw, but agarwood that has been refined with spiritual consciousness. The grass seeds of arabica are called arabica and can be used as a substitute for Xumaijiao in the recipe of Chunrong Dan.
The grass stems can also be used to build thatched cottages.
Hua Zhenxing felt very familiar when he saw those earthen walls, because they were almost exactly the same as the walls of the grocery store in Fesoport.
The largest thatched cottage here is rectangular and can accommodate a hundred people. This is the place where important ceremonies of the sect are held. However, there are so many Taoist friends from various sects here today that there will definitely be no room for them in the main hall.
So everyone simply stood in an open space surrounded by flowers and plants in front of the hall.
The monks present today,
The number is slightly more than those who attended the banquet yesterday.
There are more than 300 people. The Kunlun League holds public meetings.
The scene should not be too chaotic, and there should be at most two representatives from each faction.
An incident just happened last night, and the matter will be discussed in public tonight. The Kunlun League is very efficient in handling affairs. Some people may not be able to arrive in time when they hear the news, but the monks present are also representative enough.
The Kunlun League has its own mature discussion mechanism. Monks from other sects do not need to be present, but twenty-five sects must send people to participate, just like some kind of executive committee system in the secular world.
Among these twenty-five sects, thirteen are fixed, which are the traditional thirteen major Kunlun sects. Since Patriarch Zhengyi first convened the Sanshan Meeting thousands of years ago, the inheritance of the dharma continues to this day.
The other twelve sects are recommended by the public on a voluntary basis. They are confirmed once a year and can be rotated or not. The Kunlun League is also an executive agency. If it does not have the corresponding strength, it will not be able to perform its duties.
.
The Qingcheng Sword Sect, which is not included in the thirteen major sects of Kunlun, and the Sanmeng Sect, Zuohuai Villa, and Wanbian Sect, which were founded in recent years,
Now he is one of the twenty-five executive sects.
It does not mean that only the twenty-five executive sects of the Kunlun Alliance can speak during the public meeting. All sects, including famous casual cultivators, can give advice.
But these twenty-five factions must be present, and after a decision is made, they will implement it.
The Baihuashan disciples originally arranged twenty-five seats in front of the open space hall, which were arranged according to the meeting specifications. It was not that they did not want to arrange seats for all their colleagues, but that there were really no more than 300 chairs in the entire dojo.
Since ancient times, Baihuashan Dojo has never had so many people pour into it at the same time. Niu Yiping, who organized the reception, was also very uneasy. This was the first time that Fanglongguan, a small sect, had "undertaken" such a large-scale and high-standard event.
"activities".
Seeing this situation, Mei Yeshi simply waved his hand and asked Niu Yiping to remove all the seats. Everyone should stand and talk, leaving only one chair for Hua Zhenxing, who was injured.
Hua Zhenxing did not listen to Wang Fengshou's suggestion and actually came in a wheelchair, but on this occasion he no longer refused, and finally sat down alone. He had already made up his mind to speak less and read more today, and would not express his opinions if he could.
Opinion.
After all, Hua Zhenxing is a guest from afar, and Yangyuan Gu is not a member of the Kunlun League. Today is a meeting between various factions of the Kunlun League. If he were not a party present, he probably would not participate.
Taking into account the limitations of the venue, each sect, regardless of size, can only have a maximum of two people attending, with the exceptions of the "organizer" Fang Longguan and the "parties" Fang Waimen, Yangyuan Valley, Zuohuai Villa, and Wuliang Sect.
Mei Yeshi brought Dan Zicheng, the great disciple of Sanmeng Sect. Dan Zicheng was nearly forty years old, but he still looked young with a baby face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a temperament a bit like Cheng Tianle.
Of course Cheng Tianle was also present. This time I heard that Xiao Shao was not here. The one who came with him was the elder of the sect, Hua Feifei. I heard that he was an old fox. This is not an adjective, he is a fox demon.
The head of the Xuanyuan Sect did not arrive for some reason, but Wu Weichang, an old acquaintance of Hua Zhenxing, was here. Accompanying Wu Weichang was the head disciple Yunwei Taoist. In the morning, these two people also went to the embassy to visit Hua Zhenxing and deliver elixirs.
Coming.
The scheduled meeting time was exactly eight o'clock in the evening, but when the time came, no one had arrived.
Mei Yeshi said: "The master of Tingtao Villa Yuwen, the master of Fangwai Sect Ding, the senior He Feng of the Zhengyi Sect, and the master Xing of the Qingcheng Sword Sect are cooperating to pursue relevant clues and will not arrive until later.
, let’s start first.”
Hua Zhenxing just noticed that the main sect of the largest sect in Kunlun only has a junior disciple, Guang Ren, and the head Zeren is not present. Isn't it because they don't pay enough attention? At this moment, I heard that both Taishang Elder and Feng were alarmed.
Yes, it seems there is another reason.
Xian Hao from Fangwaimen had already arrived, but he didn't see Ding Qi. It turned out that this was also the reason.
Hua Zhenxing was also very curious. How could the Kunlun Alliance investigate the inside story of this kind of death with no evidence and almost no clues? How could they discuss matters if they couldn't find out?
At this time, I heard Mei Yeshi say: "Sect Master Hua, please introduce to everyone what you experienced last night."
The first person to be asked was Hua Zhenxing. Although the situation at that time had been introduced many times this morning, it had to be said again in public at this moment.
Regardless of being injured, Hua Zhenxing not only introduced what happened last night with his spiritual thoughts, but also took out a luminous bead to demonstrate the scene.
The purpose of using luminous beads to demonstrate the scene is not only to visually display it, but also to make everyone convinced that he has no reservations about the entire incident, including every detail.
Doing this may expose some of his tricks, such as carrying things like the Black Dragon Black Pearl with him, but Hua Zhenxing also knows what is important and what is important, and cannot hide it in this situation. Bai Shaoliu saw Hua Zhenxing
So, too, follow suit.
Finally, there was the narration from Shi Buquan and Shang Ni. These two people did not have such skills, and they just introduced what happened in detail. In fact, with the introduction of the two Dacheng masters just now, there is no objection to what happened at the scene.
Mei Yeshi then spoke: "Master Qiao of the Wuliang Sect, what do you have to say?"
The most embarrassing thing today is the Wuliang Sect, because Lin Taiwei is the elder of the Wuliang Sect and the top master of the sect. Unexpectedly, he was involved in such an incident, and no one else knew about it.
Qiao Weifeng had been waiting at the door of the Embassy of China before dawn today. He didn't have the kindness to call the door directly. Instead, he waited until someone could get in, then rushed to express his condolences and apology to Hua Zhenxing as soon as possible. He mainly asked about the situation.
At this time, in front of fellow sects, Qiao Weifeng said with an embarrassed look: "The last time I saw Elder Lin was in October of the year before last. When he left the sect that time, he claimed to be going to Kunlun Wonderland, and then there was no contact with him again.
"
Mei Yeshi: "Have other disciples of the Wuliang Sect had any contact with Lin Taiwei during this time?"
Qiao Weifeng: "I have made urgent inquiries, and all the disciples I can contact said they have not seen Elder Lin for more than a year, and there is no other news. There are still three people who have not been contacted, including Lin Taiwei's direct disciple Lu Xingzhen."
In ancient times, monks mainly practiced in the Taoist temple and only went out to travel when necessary. But now times have changed, and the situation is reversed. Disciples of each sect usually make a living in the world, and only return when necessary.
Zongmen Dojo.
Qiao Weifeng urgently checked all the disciples in the sect, but there were still three people who could not be contacted in a hurry. In this case, missing contact means there is suspicion.
Mei Yeshi asked again: "Ignoring those who have temporarily lost contact, everyone else said that they have not contacted Lin Taiwei. Can you guarantee that this statement is credible?"
Qiao Weifeng lowered his head and said: "I don't dare! If necessary, we can let them all go through the oath of questioning."
Ume Yeishi: "There is no need to do this for the time being. We will talk about it when necessary."
At this time, someone outside the dojo suddenly said loudly: "I have found Lou Xinggu and Liang Xingduo and brought them here."
Following the words, three people walked into the open space. The leader was Yu Wenlin, the owner of Tingtao Villa, and behind him were two disciples of the Wuliang Sect, Lou Xinggu and Liang Xingduo, who had not been in contact with them before.
Seeing this scene, Hua Zhenxing knew that the Kunlun Alliance had already known about the disappearance of the three disciples of the Wuliang Sect, and the question he just asked was just for everyone present.
The reason Yu Wenlin didn't come on time was because he went to help find someone. He must have been more than one person participating in the operation. Lou Xinggu and Liang Xingduo, with their heads hanging down, took the initiative to stand behind Yu Wenlin.
Qiao Weifeng lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on with you two? Why can't you find anyone?"
Liang Xingduo whispered: "We have already explained to Uncle Yuwen that there is indeed no news about Elder Lin recently."
Yu Wenlin told everyone present: "It was really inconvenient for them to contact the outside world at that time. For privacy reasons, I will not say the specific reasons. I have already asked them and they all claimed that they had no contact with Lin Taiwei recently."
Ume Yeshi: "Where is Head Ding?"
Yu Wenlin: "Headmaster Ding and I went separate ways, he went to find Lu Xingzhen."
These words may sound like an understatement, but they are frightening. The two Wuliang Sect disciples who were just brought did not seem to be embarrassed. They were found by Yu Wenlin and followed them to the scene, but the information revealed was not simple.
.
If this incident is really related to the Wuliang Sect, or is planned collectively by the Wuliang Sect, then none of the disciples in the sect may be able to escape. Even if they lose contact, they can be found out immediately. The Kunlun Alliance's execution ability is off the charts!
After Yu Wenlin caught the person, he must have notified the Kunlun Alliance. Of course, Alliance Leader Mei knew about it, so he said that Yu Wenlin, Ding Qi, He Feng, and Xing Duze would arrive later. It seems that the others
Bian also completed the task.
Hua Zhenxing secretly thought that the New Alliance and Yangyuan Valley must have this kind of execution ability in Jili Country. At this moment, he heard Ding Qi's voice coming from the direction of the mountain outside the dojo: "Lu Xingzhen
He has been captured and I have brought him here."
He actually said the word "capture" instead of "find", which shows that there is something wrong with Lu Xingzhen. After the voice came, another spiritual thought came -
Since the third day of the Lunar New Year, someone has often appeared in the Nanjun Mountain Forest Park behind Nanjun Community, pretending to be a wildlife photography enthusiast, and taking photos of various birds with a SLR camera with a telephoto lens.
Ding Qi had noticed him a long time ago and felt that this person was acting suspiciously. However, he was photographing birds in the Citizen's Park and did not interfere with anything in the Fangwai Alliance, so it was not easy to do anything to him directly.
Until early this morning, he heard that three disciples of the Wuliang Sect were missing. He checked the description of the suspicious person with the Fangwai Alliance, and rushed back to Jinghu Lake to capture him. After interrogation, he took him to Baihua Mountain.
This is also the first time that Ding Qi has participated in a coordinated operation by the Kunlun Alliance.
Hua Zhenxing was surprised. He killed Lin Taiwei at about 11:30 last night, and then Teacher Ding rushed to the Embassy of Jili Country at 4:30 in the morning. There were no high-speed trains or flights during that time.
Then Ding Qi received news from the Kunlun League, and together with Yu Wenlin from Tingtao Villa, they went to track down three missing disciples of the Wuliang Sect. Lu Xingzhen should be the best to find, because he had long been noticed by Fang Waimen
.
But it was not easy for Ding Qi. He actually made two trips between Jinghu and Pingjing today, captured and interrogated Lu Xingzhen, and then took him to Baihua Mountain. He didn't know what kind of transportation he used.
In fact, there is no need for Ding Qi to go through such trouble himself. He can just let the Fangwai Alliance take the people and send them over. The reason why he did this was to show his importance on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also showed his means and abilities. It can be regarded as an invisible establishment of authority.
.
Why did Huazhen Guild make this judgment? Because Teacher Ding spoke first and then sent out his spiritual thoughts. The words came from outside the dojo at the foot of the mountain, but after a second, the spiritual thoughts came out from the open space between everyone.
Following his spiritual thoughts, there seemed to be space shifting. Ding Qi actually stepped out of thin air, seemingly opening a door to the void and appearing directly in front of everyone. He was holding a person in his right hand and two things in his left hand.
After Ding Qi stood still, the spatial anomaly between everyone's consciousness disappeared. He threw Lu Xingzhen in his hand to the ground together with the two things. They were a ruler and a cane, which were obviously magic weapons.
