The news of Zen Master Lingyou's death came much sooner than everyone imagined.
Almost on the second day after Pei Wende decided to close the mountain and close the temple, the entire Tanzhou knew the reason why the Miyin Temple was closed.
On the third day, the whole land of China was spreading the news that the national master Hui Ji had left his post without authorization and ignored national affairs for his own personal affairs.
Of course, Ziyang and Li Gang, who retired as Zhao Guizhen disappeared, also knew the news.
They still have information channels within the Qintian Prison, and they even know more than the general insiders.
"Didn't I tell you before?"
"If you appear in front of me again, I will personally put you in the prison of Qintian Prison."
Ling Xiaozi looked at Li Gang and Ziyang in front of him with a gloomy face, not hiding his inner disgust and irritation.
"Well……"
Looking at the sullen Ling Xiaozi with some embarrassment, Li Gang obviously remembered the cruel words he said before leaving last time.
The last time Pei Wende entered Qintian Pavilion, Li Gang scolded Ling Xiaozi for cheating and blaming Zhao Guizhen for his own future.
In the end, he even made the bold statement, "I will walk on your Yangguan Road, and I will cross my single-plank bridge."
As a result, only three or four years later, Ling Xiaozi had to ask for help again.
Fortunately, it was not Li Gang who came for help this time, but Zi Yang, Zhao Guizhen's direct disciple, so the situation did not seem too embarrassing or embarrassing.
At the very least, Ling Xiaozi was so angry that he didn't really send the two of them to the prison of Qintian Prison.
"Senior brother, please don't be angry. We have come here to ask for something!"
He bowed his hands respectfully to Ling Xiaozi, and Ziyang's attitude was obviously much better than Li Gang's.
Because Li Gang only knew that Ling Xiaozi was good at powerful thunder spells, but he deliberately hid his strength and stayed in Qintian Prison as a janitor.
But Ziyang knew that if it weren't for him, Ling Xiaozi would be Zhao Guizhen's most promising candidate for his direct disciple.
I think back then, before he became a disciple of Zhao Guizhen, Ling Xiaozi accepted Zhao Guizhen's guidance and was once regarded as his closest Taoist boy.
I can only say that fate is so wonderful.
Zhao Guizhen finally gave up on the more talented Ling Xiaozi and instead accepted Ziyang, the adopted son of a criminal thief, as his apprentice.
"I'm not your senior brother."
"It wasn't the case before, and it won't be the case in the future."
Until this time, Ling Xiaozi, whose attitude had softened a little, said calmly.
No matter what happened back then, Ling Xiaozi and Zi Yang still had a bit of a brotherhood between them.
Especially now that Zhao Guizhen has died, Ling Xiaozi and Zi Yang are essentially no different from their brothers except for the lack of status.
"I know what you are planning to ask this time, but it has nothing to do with you."
Ling Xiaozi is telling the truth. No matter what is happening in the court now, the best thing for Taoists is to be a bystander and be a qualified oriole.
"Senior brother, are you also that kind of pedantic person?"
His eyes were not sharp, but Ziyang's words revealed an edge and righteousness that Ling Xiaozi would never have.
"Whether it's a dispute between Buddhism or Taoism, or a chaos in the court..."
"Master and I have never cared about these things."
"The alternation between Buddhism and Taoism is only an inevitable trend, but the life and death of ordinary people is the reality before us."
"The reason why Master came out to become a national master was not only because of his initial promise, but also because he didn't want to see the people displaced and suffering from hunger and cold."
There was a deep affection in his tone, because Ziyang was one of those people who were displaced, hungry and cold.
Therefore, he understands Zhao Guizhen's thoughts better than Ling Xiaozi, and he also understands better that "people's suffering" is not just a simple adjective.
Behind this word, thousands of people have left their homes and do not know whether they will live or die.
"Nowadays, evils are turbulent and great demons appear in the world. It is not just against Huiji and the Buddhists. We, the Taoists, are also in this general trend."
Ziyang's strong words were enough to shock people's hearts, but they were not enough to shake Ling Xiaozi's belief.
Just looking at Ziyang's current appearance, Ling Xiaozi suddenly understood why Zhao Guizhen would choose him instead of himself.
"Is this the reason?"
Unable to help but murmur, Ling Xiaozi's accumulated dissatisfaction and resentment suddenly disappeared at this moment.
Compared with Ziyang, he seems too utilitarian and too realistic.
He completely ignored his original intention when he entered Taoism and practiced cultivation. He just didn't want to see the scene of evil and troubled times.
Since when did I become indifferent to the evil and chaotic future?
Was it when Zhao Guizhen announced that he would accept Ziyang as his direct disciple?
Was it when he insisted on joining Qin Tian Prison despite the dissuasion of others?
Or did you lose your original intention when you entered Taoism earlier?
"Tell me what you want to know."
After thinking for a short time, Ling Xiaozi finally asked without evading.
"I want to know what Huiji is planning to do!?"
"Has he ever thought about the serious consequences it will have on the people of the world if his approach fails!?"
This time it was not Ziyang who asked the question, but Li Gang who was even more grumpy at the side.
Li Gang has been restless since he learned that Hui Ji left Chang'an without authorization.
Today's Chang'an does not have the "Luofu Dao Pan" to guard it. The Qintian Prison alone cannot prevent those powerful demons from coming in and out freely.
"The Imperial Master plans to accomplish his feats in one battle and wipe out the evil spirits in the world in one fell swoop."
"As for the consequences?"
"There are no consequences, because I am the last resort for the imperial master to stay in Chang'an."
He spoke the most domineering truth in the calmest tone. As soon as Ling Xiaozi said this, Li Gang and Ziyang were stunned for an instant.
Because they never expected that Ling Xiaozi, who had always been low-key, silent and impartial, would actually join Hui Ji's camp.
You know, although Li Gang has always disliked Ling Xiaozi, he was extremely envious of his thunder skills.
To use what Zhao Guizhen once said, Ling Xiaozi was not inferior to himself in Taoism and cultivation, but his attainments in thunder magic were no less than his own.
In other words, Ling Xiaozi is the God of Thunder in the world, the being in charge of thunder.
"If you really want to do something, then run an errand for me and go to Jiangnan."
"It's a land of plenty, and it's also the heart of the dynasty. There should be a lot of monsters who want to take the opportunity to cause trouble there."
Looking at Ling Xiaozi silently, Ziyang didn't know what to say at this moment.
This senior brother of mine has a higher level of cultivation than himself, sees further than he does, and even his position is not as wavering as he imagined.
"Thank you, senior brother, Ziyang will definitely live up to his trust!"
