The Tianyamen Assembly Hall was crowded and lively. Shopkeepers from various shops on the main island, some selling meat, some selling silk, and some selling ingredients, gathered here one after another.
These people are all the heads of the various halls of Tianya Sect. They work in their own way on weekdays and only gather here when discussing matters. If Wu Gen were here, he would find that so many of his ingredients came from one of them. I don’t know what Yu Jiu and Yu Ten are thinking, even grabbing their own goods.
The old bustard of Ruoshui Tower had a springy look on his face and kept walking around the hall, instructing his girls to serve food and wine. There are not many women on Pearl Island, and some of them are rude, so she is the only one who can show off a little. Therefore, if there is such a banquet in the sect, she, the leader of the hall, has to send someone to handle it.
It's just such an important occasion, but the guardians on the left and right have gone somewhere.
After a while, there was loud drumming and ticking outside the assembly hall, which sounded a bit like the accompaniment of a funeral.
Along with the sound of music, Qin Jian walked in accompanied by Su Zi and Ke Jiao.
Ke Jiao is a bald man with a skull pattern on his forehead. He has sharp eyes and glances around from time to time.
Both of them brought five or six of their own hall masters here, and someone from the hall stepped forward to arrange these people in place one by one.
Qin Jian and the other three walked to the main seat and sat down respectively as guest and host. Qin Jian pressed his hands down, and the hall gradually became quiet.
"Everyone." Qin Jian cleared his throat and greeted everyone in the hall: "Today, Leader Ke of the Living Killing Gang and Leader Su of Suoyue Tower are here to work together on the great plan. It really makes my Tianya Gate shine. , let’s all drink a bowl of welcome wine first.”
As he spoke, Qin Jian took the lead in picking up the wine bowl in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. Ke Jiao glanced around coldly, but only took a shallow sip.
Su Zi looked at the expressions of the two people, smiled slightly, and drank half of the wine in the bowl.
Qin Jian put down the wine bowl and put his hands on the table, "You must have heard that the three factions gathered here today just to join the Divine Religion. In the past few years, the war between the Divine Religion and the shepherds has subsided. We can’t travel between the two sides as we did in the past, so according to the will of the divine religion, all three sects must join the religion and work together for the Holy Mountain.”
As soon as these words came out, there was a buzz in the hall. A shopkeeper selling swords stood up and said, "Sect Master, if everyone joins the religion, who will be the leader? Is Tianya Sect still there?"
"This..." Qin Jian hesitated and glanced at Ke Jiao and Su Zi, "I still need to discuss this matter with Gang Leader Ke and House Leader Su in detail before making a decision."
A leader of the Living Kill Gang glanced at Ke Jiao, then stood up and said with emotion: "This is easy, and there is no need to discuss it in detail. Since you have joined the divine religion, everyone is a leader. Of course, whoever has the highest official position will make the decision. "
A leader of the Tianya Sect said sadly, "Come here, even the divine sect has to pay attention to the level of cultivation and strength. Could it be that if the divine sect gives you a high official, you can command so many people."
The leader of the Killing to Kill Gang stiffened his neck and said loudly: "Why not? As long as the religious cult dares to give it, I will accept it. Those who disobey will be dealt with according to the religious rules, and how can they rebel against heaven?"
The hall master of Tianya Sect smiled when he heard this, "I'm afraid you won't survive."
"What, you still want to do something evil?" The leader of the Living Killing Gang was furious and drew his sword in his hand.
There was a sound of swords being drawn, the heads of the Tianya Sect jumped out one after another, and the atmosphere in the meeting hall suddenly became tense.
Bang, Ke Jiao stood up, slapped the table with his palm, and stared at Qin Jian fiercely, "Master Qin, is it possible that you still want to rely on the large number of people to keep us here? After joining the divine sect, you will We have to abide by the rules of the divine religion, so how can we continue to draw knives as easily as before?"
Qin Jian smiled and waved his hand, "Gang Leader Ke, don't get angry because of the little quarrel. Come on, A-ying, I'd like to give a toast to Gang Leader Ke."
Aying, the madam of Ruoshuilou, walked up with a smile and held a wine bowl, and pressed it softly against Ke Jiao, "Master Ke is so big, why should you be angry? Come on, come on, little lady, I'll give you a bowl." She said using the words in front of Ke Jiao. He poured a bowl for himself from the wine jar, and then refilled Ke Jiao's wine bowl.
The wide sleeves were brushed, but the edge of the sleeves was accidentally dipped in Ke Jiao's wine bowl.
Aying didn't take it seriously and drank down her wine bowl in one gulp. With her charming eyes, she hugged Ke Jiao's arm and said, "Brother, do you want to give me some face? How can you be so ruthless and forget all about the romantic relationship back then?" ”
Ke Jiao had no choice but to take a big sip, freed his arm from Aying's hand, and moved aside with a look of disgust.
"Master Qin, regarding the matter of the three sects joining the religion, it is better for the three of us to discuss it in detail later. There is one matter that must be resolved first. My family's military advisor was killed on your island. I heard that this person was related to your family. The relationship between protecting the law is very close, but it is only right to kill someone to pay for life, and I hope that Master Qin will not protect his shortcomings."
"Oh, that's what you're talking about. I know that they dueled in the zoo. According to the rules, it doesn't matter life or death. There will be no further investigation."
"Hmph, forget it if you are an ordinary person. I should give you some respect, but I am a strategist who is a servant of the divine religion. According to the rules of the divine religion, killing people in the divine religion must only break the bones and scatter the ashes." Ke Jiao sneered repeatedly, holding the wine bowl and drinking in small sips.
Hearing this, Qin Jian's face darkened a lot, "Okay, let's be straight from wrong. Call that person and ask him. If he really violated the rules of the divine religion, he should be dealt with by you. I won't Just a question."
Soon, someone came out of the meeting hall to look for Wu Gen. In the meeting hall, the banquet resumed, but the atmosphere was far less lively than at the beginning.
After a while, Yang Zheng and Wu Gen, led by Tianya disciples, entered the meeting hall one after another. Everyone's eyes followed the footsteps of the two people. Most people didn't know the origins of these two people and looked up and down curiously.
Ke Jiao's eyes became cold, and he stared at Wu Gen while sipping his wine.
Wu Gen and Yang Zheng stood in the hall with calm expressions, neither saluting nor taking seats.
"Boy, you were the one who killed my military advisor." Seeing that no one said anything, Ke Jiao couldn't bear it anymore and glared at Wu Gen.
"Yes, according to the rules of the Pearl Island, the two of us had a fair duel. Unfortunately, he lost. Moreover, all his belongings belong to me." Wu Gen spread his hands towards Ke Jiao with an innocent look on his face.
Ke Jiao glanced at Qin Jian, turned around and shouted angrily: "Do you know that my military advisor is a member of the Divine Religion? How can I allow you to kill at will? According to the Divine Religion's laws, if you kill someone from the Divine Religion, your bones will be crushed and ashes scattered." . Boy, if you want to suffer less, hand over his things quickly."
Wu Gen took out a copper seal and an iron plate from his sleeve, put it in the palm of his hand and signaled to the people in the hall, "Gang Leader Ke, but this one?"
"Yes, this is exactly what you want. Hurry up and bring it up. The leader of this gang is kind and will give you a happy treat." Ke Jiao breathed a sigh of relief. With this seal and iron plate, even if Gou Yan dies, he can still communicate with the divine sect. Shang, forward this seal to your confidants.
"Gang Leader Ke, according to what you said, this matter no longer needs to abide by the rules of Tianya Sect. Everything must be according to the laws of the divine religion, right?" Wu Gen took a step forward and looked directly at Ke Jiao who was sitting on top.
"Yes, the rules of the divine religion are naturally higher than others." Ke Jiao said proudly, without caring about the expressions of everyone in the Tianya Sect in the hall.
Wu Gen smiled brightly and said, "The hall master said something about divine religion on the left and divine religion on the right. I would like to ask if the hall master is also a member of the divine religion. What are the credentials for any position he holds? As the saying goes, only by being upright can you be straight. If you judge outsiders by teaching, Isn’t it ridiculous to have internal rules?”
Ke Jiao hesitated a little and glanced at Qin Jian and Su Zi hesitantly, "Boy, you don't need any credentials. Since my military advisor is already a member of the divine religion, how can I not be the gang leader who has already been awarded the title of priest. You Don't try to keep yourself calm here and speak eloquently. Someone comes and takes this person down."
Following his order, the members of the Live Kill Gang in the hall stood up one after another and surrounded Wu Gen and Yang Zheng.
"Wait a minute." Wu Gen shouted sharply, with a gloomy look on his face, "Gang Leader Ke, you are just a priest, but you still don't kneel down in front of the priest. Do you want to rebel and betray the divine religion?" He took out the golden seal and pointed it at the surroundings. Showed a circle.
"Everyone, please see clearly. This is the golden seal of the priest of the divine religion. You may not know it. The priest controls the priests of several countries and is the immediate superior. And the person in front of you is the priest." Wu Gen pointed out. Yang Zheng stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking around.
Looking at everyone's surprised looks, Wu Gen walked to Qin Jian and others' seats and said coldly: "These two priests and this servant of God haven't gotten up to greet you." When he mentioned the word servant of God, , deliberately emphasized the tone.
Qin Jian looked embarrassed, raised his butt a few times, then stood up, walked to Yang Zheng and bowed his head to salute. Su Zi was amused in her heart, so she stepped forward and bowed her hands.
Ke Jiao had some panic on his face. He stood up and stared at the golden seal. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "How can a golden pimple prove that he is a priest, and I also said that I am an elder. Everyone, don't be fooled by this person." Deceive these charlatans, capture them quickly.”
Just as a few of the men from the Live Kill Gang were about to step forward, Qin Jian winked, and soon many of the Tianya Sect's hall masters surrounded them.
"Qin Jian, what do you mean?" Ke Jiao gritted his teeth and said, "Do you want to help outsiders and go against me?"
Qin Jian took a few steps back and arrived not far in front of Ke Jiao. He said with a smile: "Gang leader Ke, we are all members of the divine sect now. If this gentleman is a priest, he is really not an outsider, he is a brother in the sect. We still need to discuss this matter carefully before it can be completed."
Wu Gen took a step forward, pointed at Ke Jiao and said loudly: "Whenever a priest builds a temple, he should have a jade Zhang. This jade can only be revealed through the secret method of the divine religion. This method is not known to anyone except the priest or above."
Since Gang Leader Ke keeps saying that he is a member of the Divine Religion, please show the bronze seal and jade seal. Otherwise, we can only think that he is using the name of the Divine Religion in vain and ruining the reputation of the Divine Religion. "
Ke Jiao looked at the confused eyes of everyone in the hall, and had to grit his teeth and take out a copper seal and a half-foot-long jade seal from his arms, and threw it on the table, "Come on, this is the seal of the priest, look carefully. ." He said and looked at Qin Jian meaningfully.
Qin Jian's face trembled. He didn't expect that Ke Jiao would really get the position of a priest. Among the three sects, he was the only one who was a servant of the gods. This divine sect was really bullying.
Wu Gen took the jade Zhang over and handed it to Yang Zheng respectfully, "Please inspect the authenticity."
Yang Zheng snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to take the Yuzhang, his beard and hair moved slightly, and an indescribable aura of righteousness emerged spontaneously.
A pure ray of light came out from his fingertips, and he tapped it lightly against Yuzhang, gradually gathering into a complex pattern. If you look carefully, you can see that the person's gestures are light or heavy, and Xi Guang is sometimes weak and sometimes strong, sometimes as fast as a startled dragon, sometimes as graceful as a swimming dragon. If you don't know the secret, you really can't draw such a pattern.
As the last stroke fell, the jade stone shone slightly, and a lifelike golden crow appeared in the sky above it, full of light and sparkle.
Under the Golden Crow, there is the word "Mingzhang", which is the name of the temple.
Yang Zheng held the jade in his hand and glanced at everyone coldly, "This thing is from the Holy Mountain. Only people above the divine priest can unlock the formation. Do you think I, the priest, am real or fake?"
There was silence in the meeting hall, and they looked at each other. This was the first time for those present to see such a situation.
"Master Priest." Qin Jian stood up first and led the Tianya Sect members to bow and salute. Su Zi also stood up to pay her respects, but Ke Jiao sat there blankly, his face pale.
"If you dare to murder your colleagues, please quickly capture the traitor Ke Jiao." Yang Zheng shouted.
