Although I am a second-generation disciple of Longhu Mountain, I have not yet intervened in the affairs of the Xuan World, and I dare not express my opinion on such matters.
What's more, the twenty-four mountains and thirty-six sects were established more than two thousand years ago and have never changed.
It cannot be changed by just a few words.
Of course, the Murong family is just paving the way now. If we happened to pass by, we would not miss such an opportunity.
After dinner, Murong Yuan arranged a place to stay, but I refused. The first water and land ceremony at Jinguang Temple was about to end. After a delay of an afternoon, I didn't even plan to go to Hangzhou, so I went directly to Jiangzhen City.
It only takes more than an hour to go to Zhenjiang from here.
We left Gusu Terrace and hit the road directly. It was already after nine o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Jiangzhen.
The lights along the way were charming and gave us a brief moment of peace.
But just after entering the city, Huang Jiu became restless and darted in and out of the cat's bag.
He kept muttering in his mouth: "There is a big demon in Jiang Town. Master Jiu, my position is no longer stable."
Jinguang Temple is not far from here. As a demon, Huang Jiu is extremely sensitive to the aura of the same kind and has a large sensing range.
I comforted it and said, "Brother Huang, with your current status, no one dares to touch you."
When Huang Jiu heard this, he stopped and took out all the signs and hung them on his stomach.
Just as the car stopped in front of the hotel that Zhang Ziran and Cang Hai had booked, a cat meowed from outside.
I looked for the sound and saw the thief cat squatting on the stone lion in front of the hotel.
When Huang Jiu saw the thieving cat, the hair all over his body exploded. Fortunately, I had quick hands and eyes, and hooked his flowery pants with two fingers. His legs were on the ground for a long time without running out.
"Brother Ninth, there's something special about today. Let's spare it for now."
Huang Jiu was extremely angry, but he also knew that he had the overall situation in mind. He lifted up his pants and said, "Then let him live first."
"Yeah!" I breathed a sigh of relief and let go of my hand.
The thief cat has a special origin and is related to the Thunder Dragon and even Shennongjia.
It appears here, it must be something.
And its appearance also proves that the entire Jiang Town has become a demon city.
After Zhang Ziran and Cang Hai completed the check-in procedures, I called people over and warned: "Everyone, please pay attention. From now on, try not to go out alone."
"Jiang Town has become a monster cave."
When Fang Henshao heard the words, he also put away his poems and distance, and became rarely serious.
I wanted to take the thief cat with me, but it ran away as soon as I got close. It didn't want to get close, but it lingered at the door of the hotel again.
It was late at night, so I didn’t care about it, and it was probably worried about the number of people around me.
Back in the room, I put everything away and was about to take a shower when Canghai and Zhang Ziran knocked on the door.
Both of them looked bad. Zhang Ziran said: "Uncle Master, I just got the news that the monks from Putuo Temple, Wenshu Temple, and Daming Temple were attacked on their way to Jinguang Temple, and they suffered heavy casualties."
Canghai said: "Qixia Temple, Guoqing Temple, Lingyan Temple, Yuquan Temple, the four major ancient temples heard that Putuo, Wenshu, and Daming Temples were attacked, and they have also organized monks to go out to help."
I frowned slightly. The first session of the Land and Water Dharma Assembly has not even ended yet. Can Shennongjia not wait any longer?
Huang Jiu lay on the sofa and said, "According to this, we don't even need to go to support."
Above the Nine Provinces, Buddhism is the only sect that can compete with Taoism.
The scale is large and the number of believers is no less than that of Taoism.
Even in recent years, there has been a faint tendency to surpass Taoism. Faced with Shennongjia's provocation, they will naturally not give up.
Now that the four ancient temples are moving, the entire Buddhist sect will follow suit.
All over the country, there are hundreds if not thousands of temples that can be named.
If they really fight, it will have little impact on Shiwandashan and Xuanjie, and it can even be said to be a good thing.
But the thunder dragon is still in Jinguang Temple, and the two sides are fighting real fire, making it even more difficult to save people.
I calmed down and asked, "When did the incident happen?"
Zhang Ziran said: "We just got the news about what happened at noon the day before yesterday."
I said: "Canghai, go and call Mao Xiaoyun, Fang Henshao and Guo Kai."
Cang Hai left in a hurry, and after a while, Guo Kai and others entered the house.
As soon as I explained the situation, Fang Henshao said: "Since the fight has begun, let them divide the ranks. Anyway, it will be a good thing for the Xuan World."
"If this is the case, our trip will be in vain." I replied to Fang Henshao. Seeing him shaking his head, I hurriedly interrupted: "Let's not talk about this now. Brother Mao, you will take care of him all night tonight." Let Fang Henshao, Guo Kai, and Wang Lin go to Jinshan Temple and tell the monks that there may be something fishy about this matter, and ask them to calm down first and not be impulsive."
Wang Lin interrupted: "Everyone in the four famous temples has died. How can they be calm based on our few words?"
Along the way, Wang Lin was just a foil. In fact, when I asked him to come, I asked him to be Guo Kai's foil and a witness.
I glanced at him and said: "Don't forget, when we come here this time, we are not representing Longhu Mountain or Maoshan, but the Xuan World. So what you say also represents the Xuan World, and it has enough weight."
After a pause, I looked at Guo Kai and Fang Henshao, and said pointedly: "I chose you because I believe you have this ability."
"Senior Brother Mao, do you have anything else you want to say?"
Mao Xiaoyun said: "There is nothing to say. Junior Brother is the person in charge this time. I will follow Junior Brother's arrangements!"
I nodded and said, "It's not too late. You guys go over there first. I'll seize the time and come back later."
When Guo Kai and Fang Henshao heard that they were going to Jinshan Temple now, they both cursed and refused.
Mao Xiaoyun was the last one to leave. He stopped when he reached the door and said worriedly: "Junior brother, you are now a member of Longhu Mountain. You must always remember your identity."
My relationship with Thunder Dragon is known to the higher-ups of Xuan World.
Mao Xiaoyun's words also meant something.
I nodded, gave him a reassuring look and said, "I will pay attention to my sense of propriety, and my master asked me to come this time, isn't it precisely because I have a relationship with the Thunder Dragon and wants me to mediate between them?"
Seeing that I understood the meaning, Mao Xiaoyun smiled and left with peace of mind.
They had just left the hotel when the cat sneaked to the door of the room.
I made an intercession, allowing Huang Jiu to make a temporary truce with it, and then opened the door. When the thief cat saw me, it meowed non-stop.
Huang Jiu translated impatiently: "He said someone in Shennongjia wants to see you, but it's a bit far away, in a park on the edge of the city."
Cang Hai and Zhang Ziran were still there, so I asked Huang Jiu to stun them both, asked the address from the thieving cat's mouth, took a taxi and headed straight to the destination.
Close to Suzhou and Hangzhou, Jiangzhen also suffered some impacts.
Even the park on the edge of the city has a strong garden atmosphere and the environment is very quiet.
Sitting in the pavilion in the center of the park was a burly middle-aged man.
If the guess is correct, he should be Mei Yisi.
