The vast white fog covered the sky and the sun, and everyone was in different realms; the chasing speed was different. Zhao Zhengli and the two sisters from the Bi family fell behind at the end. Monk Jueyan saw that he was a burden and took the opportunity to strike behind with a Buddha's Palm.

Zhao Zhengli was caught off guard by the sudden attack. He had the ability to avoid it, but the two sisters of the Bi family would definitely be injured. He did not hesitate to use his true energy to raise his leg and kick him.

"Bang"

Two waves of true energy, one palm and one kick, collided and sent out a powerful impact. Monk Jueyan used the thrust to escape quickly. Zhao Zhengli, who had stabilized his body, let go of Biyu's wrist and yelled "Despicable!" He drew his sword and slashed in the direction where he disappeared. , dozens of meters of sword energy were instantly swallowed up in the white mist.

Zhao Zhengli knew that the sword did not hurt the opponent, so he looked at the white mist jungle and said gloomily: "How many times can this palm be used!"

The strong collision made the Bi sisters panic, but they couldn't see in the fog, couldn't help, and became a burden.

Birononuo whispered: "Taoist Priest, please let me and my sister go out."

Biyu also said sadly: "Yes, my sister and I can't help at all!"

Zhao Zhengli looked at the two graceful beauties who frowned and worried and thought for a moment: "There must be a lot of Jianghu people gathered outside, whether it's the people who killed me for money in Changle Hall, or the few old guys in the temple who regard me as a thorn in their side, or the people who were killed earlier. If you offend other forces in the world, it is not safe for you two to go out alone."

Zhao Zhengli breathed a sigh of relief: "With the current situation, we might as well go directly to the Black Lu Temple. It's enough to chase the Khitan commander's sixth prince Song Maoling and Yang Zhiming. Besides, there are a few more bald donkeys."

The two sisters said nothing more. They all followed Taoist Master Zhao's instructions, but their faces were filled with smiles, and their hearts felt inexplicably sweet, because the bad Taoist Master cared about their safety.

Zhao Zhengli looked at the confusing cliff palace from a distance, as misty as a mirage. He held Birou's hand, and Birou held Biyu's hand. The three of them walked forward hand in hand. Zhao Zhengli dictated the surrounding environment while walking, giving the two women a general idea in their minds. impression.

The road was very steep and overgrown with weeds. Zhao Zhengli and his two sisters walked around for an hour without reaching the cliff. They didn't even hear the sound of the gurgling stream earlier. Looking at the misty field of view, the palace at the end of the field was still illusory and misty, and the road was still steep. , the grass is equally lush.

This scene was like a folk talk about ghosts hitting a wall. No matter how hard they walked, they couldn't get closer. After trying for half an hour to no avail, Zhao Zhengli and his two sisters began to retreat and decided to go out and recalibrate their position.

After retreating for half an hour, I encountered several waves of people, all in small groups. They were all like headless flies in the vast white fog, unable to tell the difference between north and south. Zhao Zhengli didn't bother to provoke them, and relied on his high level and visual distance to avoid everyone. .

After retreating for several miles along the winding mountain road, the two sisters' vision gradually became clearer, the thick fog also faded, and the three of them had reached the edge.

The place was extremely noisy, with hundreds of people in different costumes. Zhao Zhengli glanced at it and immediately judged that there were Khitan, Tubo, Dali and other foreigners among them. Although most of them were dressed in Qingguo costumes, they were different from Qingguo in their bones. Fat and strong, rough and savage, the best to identify.

The Tubo people have a vast plateau and are either red or blackened by the sun. Of course, it is not ruled out that the Tubo people who are close to the Shu area of ​​Qing Dynasty wear Qing Dynasty costumes. Generally speaking, their living habits are different, resulting in differences in their words and deeds.

The country of Dali is relatively difficult to identify except for its clothing. It is not as tall and burly as the Khitan, nor as red and black as the Tubo. Its raw materials are as white and tender as the Jiangnan people of the Qing Dynasty. This all depends on the country's geographical advantages; such as in the palace of the Tang Dynasty The man mentioned that the north is God's son collecting debts, and the south is God's daughter repaying debts. When the north is scorched by the scorching sun and no water drips, the rain in the south is so abundant that it overflows, and when the north is frozen for thousands of miles, the south is still warm and spring-like, and it is precisely this Dali is right where God kisses his daughter.

Zhao Zhengli and the three people who came out of the fog instantly attracted hundreds of eyes. The Bi sisters had never seen this lineup before. They instinctively leaned towards Director Zhao, hoping to find a trace of security from this man who was a few years younger than the two sisters. feel.

Zhao Zhengli lived up to his expectations and looked directly at hundreds of eyes without any fear. Some were indifferent, some were sharp, some were gentle, and most of them were curious and doubtful. They were all thinking about whether the three of them had entered the Black Heron Temple deep in the mist.

Zhao Zhengli saw many familiar figures among hundreds of unfamiliar faces. Fang Na, Pang Haowei, and Cai Xun from the Confucian Academy, the three outstanding figures in the Jiangnan literary world, stood behind an elegant and elegant old man with wide sleeves. He was not a temple mufu. Zhao Zhengli did not recognize this old man. , but the other party smiled at him with a kind face.

The many bald monks in the Guoshifu were also separated in the east and west, each standing behind the elders in the monastic temple and Buddhist temple.

Tianshi Mansion is also located next to its own sect.

After all, the three saints in the temple were only a temporary team. It was more about the attitude of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism towards the court. Once they left the temple, they all went back to their homes.

The Sixth Prince, who had earlier been chasing the Khitan commander Halasa in the mist, was now standing at the farthest end. His white robes were stained with a lot of dirt and mud. It must have been a big battle. He was protected by a group of armored knights, all of them filled with murderous intent. Eighty percent of the troops were temporarily dispatched by the Qingzhou border guards.

What surprised Zhao Zhengli was that Yu Shangshu's nephew, Yu Bo, the master of calligraphy in the Confucian Academy, actually stood with the Sixth Prince. However, according to the factional situation, they were members of the imperial court, so it was not surprising that they could stand together.

The Khitan leader Harasha's animal skin clothes were intact, like a humanoid monster, but his long unkempt hair and strong body showed signs of embarrassment. He must have fought a battle with the sixth prince Song Maoling. There were two equally burly men beside him. , one has a hooked and upturned handlebar mustache, and the other has a smooth and hairless face with everlasting muscles.

Among the three strong men, only the muscular man has a handsome face. He has long hair and a bronze face without a beard. He looks inexplicably handsome and younger. On this day that has just passed winter and is not yet full of spring, he is actually shirtless; Wearing a sleeveless animal coat, his two thick arms revealed muscles as thick as a coiled dragon.

The man with the hooked mustache is quite decent, not as fat or muscular as the man with tanned skin, but his aura is better than the two of them, and they give people an invisible sense of oppression despite being so far apart.

Behind the three men there were several Khitans, all of whom were tall and tall and stood out among the crowd.

Zhao Zhengli didn't see any emotion fluctuations in the eyes of the three people. Apart from the Khitan's inherent sense of oppression and barbaric appearance, their expressions and expressions were very dull.

He glanced at the unfriendly eyes again, and found a rickety old woman with a cane in the crowd. The old woman was smiling sinisterly at him, with wrinkles all over her face like maggots squirming. Zhao Zhengli's eyes instantly showed murderous intent. He looked at this The old woman's Zhenhen, who had been engraved into her bones, was the Nanzhao old witch from Shu who almost killed him.

There were several Tubo people with her. Among them was the Tubo Imperial Master with a big beard and wearing an animal skin robe. There was also Lafu Bolan, one of the four great protectors who had fought against Zhao Zhengli several times. His eyes were so angry that he almost burst into flames because Zhao Zhengli confiscated his magic gong!

Between them there was a Tibetan monk holding a prayer wheel. This person was "Ba Guo'e", the first of the four protectors. Next to him was a Tibetan woman with a bell hanging on her waist. She was the third protector Qilikun. .

Except for Gu Lan, the fourth guardian who was killed by Zhao Zhengli in Shu, the other three were all present.

The eyes of the three guardians wanted to eat Zhao Zhengli, and their hatred was more obvious than that of the Tubo Imperial Master.

Among the people from Tubo and Khitan stood a man in a monk's robe with a bald head and long hair around his temples and the back of his head. He had a unique Mediterranean shape and was very gorgeously dressed. You didn't have to think twice to know that he was from Xixia, because his unique hairstyle was Xixia. It's unique, but I don't know which rank he is in among the Xixia monks and Buddhas. The highest level is Imperial Master, followed by National Master, Master, and Dharma Master. Judging from his attire, he must have a high status.

He smiled indifferently at Zhao Zhengli's strange look. He looked like he was in his forties, and his smile was surprisingly arrogant. The Tubo Imperial Master murmured a few words to him in his ear, and his originally arrogant smile suddenly became serious. Then he looked at Zhao Zhengli seriously, his eyes hard to conceal his blazing heat. Fighting spirit.

Today, Chenzhuang Town, a hundred miles away from Qingzhou, can be described as a gathering of heroes. People from the Khitan, Tubo, Qingguo, Dali, and Xixia countries gathered together. Even the survivors of the subjugated Nanzhao took the risk to appear here, just for the legendary thing that can change the fate of the country. , the Wulu Temple, which can cause chaos in the world, will wait for the next sixty years if missed.

In the two mansions and one garden of the three saints in the temple, only the old monk Yuanyi Guoshi was present, and the other two were missing. The wide-sleeved monk's robe wrapped his old body. Behind him stood several monks. Except for the monk Mingwu of the Great Buddha Temple, Zhao Zhengli didn't recognize any of the others. However, they all had extraordinary bearings and shiny heads. No waiting for scars.

The old monk smiled and waved to Zhao Zhengli, motioning for him to come over. Zhao Zhengli hesitated for a moment and did not know which sect the monk belonged to in the Northern or Southern Shaolin. However, from the Southern Shaolin Yuantong and Yuanfa, to the Northern Shaolin Suiwu and Jueyan, they were all Buddhist sects. In the temple, only this old monk was isolated by the northern and southern factions and did not seem to belong to either faction. In addition, the monk from the Great Buddha Temple who also came from Shu followed him. Only then did Zhao Zhengli walk towards Yuanyi Guoshi in full view of everyone.

Before Zhao Zhengli took a step forward, he did not forget to smile at Monk Jueyan in Northern Shaolin in the distance. Unknowingly, he thought the two had a good relationship. Only the person involved knew the true meaning of this smile.

Naturally, the two sisters from the Bi family followed closely behind them like shy little daughters-in-law. Their graceful figures attracted a lot of attention, but it was only attention, and even if they had any thoughts, it was difficult to reveal them for the time being. .

Imperial Master Yuan Yi was originally ordered to drive the Khitan leader Harassa out of the country, but he did not expect that in just one day all the people from all over the world would show up in Qingguo and accurately find the location of the Wulu Temple. Who would have thought that the spies from various countries lurking in Qingguo would have such information? He was well-informed and secretly worried about the long-term future of the Qing Dynasty.

The more worried he became, the more the old monk liked Zhao Zhengli and a group of young people from the Qing Kingdom, because they were the hope of the Qing Kingdom in the future. After this incident, the old monk understood that the old master in Shu did not hesitate to feed him a dragon and a tiger. After receiving the elixir, he exchanged a Dragon Tiger elixir for the chance of becoming a land immortal in the Qing Kingdom.

How many young people in the world dare to look directly at hundreds of people from all over the world without any stage fright? Not to mention the grand masters, there were nearly ten grand masters present alone, and they were all top figures in various countries. The old monk was also pleased with Zhao Zhengli's courage, not to mention that he had the capital to be proud. No one below the grand master could compare with him. After fighting against each other, the old monk followed up by waving kindly.

If Master Zhao knows what the old monk is thinking at this moment, he will definitely laugh with pride, because he is the only one in the world who knows Zhao Zhengli’s true identity. Maybe the head of Qingcheng Mountain is aware of it, but he doesn’t know everything. Zhao Zhengli can come to the capital before Master Zhao It was within the budget, and it was reasonable for him to be suspected by the old emperor. It was also within his estimation that the master of the three masters and three masters was secretly doing something.

After all, Zhao Zhengli looks too much like him, so there is a problem if he is not suspected. The old master wants the attitude of an insider. He is setting up a huge chess game for the Qing Dynasty. This method is better than the old emperor who strategized because he concealed He has conquered everyone in the world, but he has made everything public, and the overall situation is hidden in the chess. This is a high rank.

Imperial Master Yuanyi's move is undoubtedly a demonstration against Zhao Zhengli's hostile forces. He publicly stated that Zhao Zhengli not only has the support of the Celestial Master, but also the care of me, an old monk. If you want to cause trouble for him, just think about it.

The hostile forces in other countries were fine, but only the Qingguo Temple felt depressed. Among them, the Prince Dang, the Grand Master and the Tufu were somewhat passive, because they had just gained an in-depth understanding of Zhao Zhengli's true identity, and now there were three great masters in the temple. There are two people who favor him, which is naturally not a good thing.

Fortunately, they had a backup plan and decided to use the people from other countries gathered in the Wulu Temple to cooperate secretly and get rid of Zhao Zhengli. As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend.

The Crown Prince Song Chaoyan never thought about getting things done, but the group of bureaucrats and counselors in the court did not think so. Since Zhao Zhengli won the first place in the competition among the three saints in the capital temple, the civil servants in the court who only knew how to study and seek power were uneasy. Before the prince was offended, he was expected to win over him, but now he has repeatedly opposed him. This is a clear gift to King Cheng. His participation will definitely break the balance of civil and military conflicts, so the civil servants feel that he should be eliminated first and then quickly.

Others who have this idea include Grand Master Qi, Grand Master Xiao and others, but they all have selfish motives. After all, no one wants the existence of a rebellious minister. Even if there is not enough evidence to prove Zhao Zhengli’s identity, his similar appearance alone makes it difficult for him to do so. The older generation couldn't sleep, not to mention that the other party's moral behavior was extremely unfavorable. In order to gain peace of mind, they thought it would be best to erase him, so he offered a huge price reward ranging from a thousand gold to a million.

At that time, the situation here was very chaotic, but no one acted rashly. They were wary of each other while looking in the direction of the misty Black Heron Temple.

This Wulu Temple has lost the fortune of the Khitan Imperial Master who was a shepherd boy 60 years ago. It is destined to have an unprecedented rivers and lakes struggle, and even alarmed the participation of several countries. Because of the fate of this Wulu The temple can not only change the world, but also the destiny of the country, which is enough to make all countries crazy about it.

You must know that the first national master of Khitan, who was still a shepherd boy sixty years ago, only moved one child, and the Khitan rose to prominence in just over ten years. He was also affected by luck and became a grand master from a mortal body. Who would not be tempted by such an opportunity? ? Which country doesn’t have extravagant hopes?
