The next day, Zhao Zhijing sneaked down the mountain alone and found Jinlun Dharma King who had been waiting for him for a long time at the foot of the mountain.
As soon as the two met each other, they showed understanding smiles. Seeing Zhao Zhijing's brisk steps, His Holiness knew that the matter must be done, and immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"Brother Zhao, I see that you are so happy and enlightened. Have you made any progress?" His Holiness asked enthusiastically.
Zhao Zhijing chuckled, stretched out his hand to stroke the long beard under his chin, and pretended to say, "Master, the process is not smooth."
Even so, he could not hide the proud look on his face. The Dharma King knew that there was something in his words, and things would definitely not be like what he said, and there would definitely be consequences, so he smiled and said nothing.
After slightly whetting the King's appetite, Zhao Zhijing added, "As you know, our Quanzhen Sect has always been on good terms with the Ancient Tomb Sect. The monasteries are located in the same Zhongnan Mountain, and they are neighbors. Now we are turning to deal with them. It can’t be justified no matter what.”
"I have heard about your relationship, but our ancestor Mr. Wang Chongyang has passed away a long time ago. No one knows that a lawless Dongzhang will appear in the descendants, right?" His Holiness stretched out his hand to signal Zhao Zhijing to sit in the tent behind him.
The two of them walked side by side, and Zhao Zhijing said, "The difficulty lies here. The masters and uncles of the poor Taoist family are all people who miss their old relationship. If they go against the instructions of their ancestors, it will undoubtedly cost their lives."
"This is natural." The two sat down, and the Dharma King personally poured wine for Zhao Zhijing.
Proudly raising the wine glass filled by King Jinlun himself, Zhao Zhijing took a sip and said, "But hard work pays off. After Pindao's repeated persuasion, the head master finally decided to use the entire sect's strength to deal with Dongzhang. "
The key point is that Zhao Zhijing has been preparing for this for so long. It is intended to point out that this matter can be achieved through his own efforts. He is an indispensable role in this, and he should let Jinlun Dharma King know his importance.
As a human being, Jinlun Dharma King naturally cannot fail to see that these worldly feelings are also common in officialdom and military camps. When reporting to leaders, he will definitely say how serious the problem is, but he finally overcomes the problem with his own efforts.
To put it bluntly, I just want to get more benefits from the leader.
The Dharma King clapped his hands excitedly, raised his glass to meet Zhao Zhijing, and said with a smile, "I will keep Brother Zhao's contribution in mind. In this way, this place is not too far from the king's tent. I happen to have something important to report to the prince. Brother Zhao can Do you have time to go with me?"
Zhao Zhijing's brows were filled with joy when he heard this, and he said excitedly, "Yes, yes! It's an honor for me to see the prince in person. Imperial Master, when shall we set off?"
Quickly glancing at Zhao Zhijing who was flirting with Monkey King, His Holiness smiled slightly and said, “That’s all right now.”
"Okay! Without further ado, let's get on the road now!" Zhao Zhijing couldn't hold back his excitement and wanted to get out of the house right away.
Seeing that he was so anxious, His Holiness naturally found it difficult to refute him, so he stood up and walked outside the tent.
This place is actually only forty or fifty miles away from Kublai Khan's royal tent. The two of them got on their fast horses and arrived in less than half an hour.
The two of them entered the king's tent. When Kublai Khan heard that the King of France introduced Zhao Zhijing and said that he was a master of the Quanzhen Sect, he immediately accepted him.
He immediately ordered wine to be arranged to greet the two of them. Zhao Zhijing was a very prestigious person, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed to see that the Mongolian prince treated him so politely.
During the banquet, Kublai Khan never mentioned the battle between the Dharma King and others in the camp with Guo Jing and Dongzhang. After all, it was a defeat for his side and was not honorable. He could not help praising the Dharma King for his loyalty to what he was doing, so that his waist and abdomen were injured. That was the day. Dongzhang stabbed his own waist and abdomen with a knife and pierced the Dharma King. His attack method was unique and he was absolutely ruthless. He was ruthless to his enemies and even more ruthless to himself.
When the wine was served, Kublai Khan invited the Karmapa to sit at the front of the table and held the cup with him one after another. The Karmapa was naturally grateful. He also knew that Kublai Khan wanted to cooperate with him and put on a show for Zhao Zhijing to see. He thought that others would be very upset when they saw it. I think this is a polite and virtuous person.
This was actually the case. Zhao Zhijing watched the entire interaction between the Karmapa and Kublai Khan. He was deeply moved by the young Kublai Khan and felt that he was a truly wise master.
Seeing that the play was almost finished, Kublai Khan asked Zhao Zhijing about various situations in the Quanzhen Sect.
Zhao Zhijing naturally answered all questions and even rushed to answer them. He even went through the advantages and disadvantages of various sects in the Central Plains, as if he was a learned and talented person.
Kublai Khan was secretly happy in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He never interrupted Zhao Zhijing's story. He just listened quietly. From Zhao Zhijing's words, Kublai Khan understood.
Since the Northern Song Dynasty, there was only one sect of Taoism, Zhengyi, led by Zhang Tianshi in Longhushan, Shanxi. Since the Jin people invaded the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty moved southward, Hebei Taoism has created three new sects, namely Quanzhen, Dadao and Taiyi. Among them, Quanzhen You Sheng taught Taoist priests to be chivalrous and righteous, to help the poor and help the poor, and to do many good deeds.
At that time, the north fell to foreigners, and the people suffered terribly. Seeing that there was no hope for the imperial court to recover, the people often regarded the Quanzhen Sect as their savior.
At that time, someone even wrote an article saying that "the Central Plains was in chaos, the Southern Song Dynasty was weak, and the heroes of the world were at a loss what to do... Grand Master Chongyang and Master Changchun, transcending the surface of all things, only used the teaching of inaction to transform people into capable people, and peacefully settled Donghua. Wait for the master to be enlightened, and then he will become the world's model."
At that time, north of the river, the Quanzhen Sect and the Beggar Clan were sometimes more powerful than the government. Seeing that Kublai Khan treated him kindly, Zhao Zhijing felt grateful and answered all questions he had about the distribution of the sect's power and the location of its important towns. Love, tell the truth.
When talking about the depth, Kublai Khan winked at the Dharma King beside him. The Dharma King understood and sighed pretentiously, saying, "Taoist Master Zhao, it is not easy for your sect to reach the scale it is today. Forgive me for being rude, but I have to say Ma Taoist priests such as , Liu, and Wang are so ignorant, how can they pass on the great responsibility of teaching to Taoist Brother Qiu?"
Zhao Zhijing has been planning these days, and he also knows that after Qiu Chuji takes over as the master, the next master will definitely be born among the three generations of disciples. Needless to say, Qiu Chuji is Yin Zhiping's master, and Yin Zhiping will be elected as the next master. The chances are great, my lineage is definitely not as good as others.
But even so, the six Quanzhen disciples had already withered away one by one at that time. Even if Yin Zhiping was elected as the next headmaster, he would force him to give up the position of headmaster to himself.
He was impatient and thought that this matter was ultimately unlikely. Even if he succeeded, it would take many years. When he heard the Dharma King mention it, he couldn't help but sigh and glanced at Kublai Khan who was looking up.
Kublai Khan looked at his eyes, nose and heart, but did not respond to his eyes. Seeing this, the Dharma King said again, "Brother Zhao, you are a man of great talent. The position of leader must not fall into the hands of incompetent people. This is the way to go." Urgent matter.”
Zhao Zhijing's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and said, "If the master can point out the path, the path will depend on it for the rest of your life."
The King of Dharma looked at Kublai Khan cryptically, raised his eyebrows, and said loudly, "A gentleman cannot go back on his words."
Zhao Zhijing said, "This is natural."
The Dharma King slapped his palm on the table and said in a loud voice, "Okay, as the prince testifies, I will definitely ask you to assume the position of headmaster of the Quanzhen Sect within half a year!"
Zhao Zhijing was overjoyed, but this matter was too difficult, and he couldn't help but be a little doubtful.
The Dharma King squinted and said, "You don't believe it?"
Zhao Zhijing was so nervous that he took a sip of water strategically and said, "I believe, I believe, the master's wonderful method can lead to the gods, and there must be good strategies."
The Dharma King said slowly, "Your sect and I have nothing to do with each other. It doesn't matter who is the sect leader. But for some reason, I and the Taoist priest hit it off as soon as they met and couldn't help but want to help."
Zhao Zhijing felt troubled and didn't know how to express his gratitude.
The Dharma King glanced at Zhao Zhijing, who was sitting uneasily, and said, "Brother Zhao, our first step is to get you a strong supporter in the sect. May I ask, who is the most respected person in your sect at the moment?"
"Of course he is Master Zhou's great uncle."
"Yes, if he is willing to help you, Taoist Qiu will probably not be your opponent."
Zhao Zhijing was overjoyed and said, "Yes, Uncle Ma, Uncle Qiu, and my master all want to call him uncle. The words he says are of great weight, but I don't know what master's clever plan can make uncle Zhou." Help me."
Secretly sneering, Jinlun Dharma King knew that Zhou Botong must be hanging out with Dongzhang at this moment, because he and he came together to break into the camp that day, and they also left together.
To get rid of Dong Zhang, the first step must be to unplug Zhou Botong, whose strength is unpredictable.
Immediately, he walked up to Zhao Zhijing and whispered in his ear. When Zhao Zhijing heard this, he was first shocked, then showed a look of horror, and finally turned into surprise. The expression on his face was extremely rich.
At the same time, on a mountain path, a beautiful Taoist nun wearing an apricot-yellow robe was walking alone on the mountain path. Her beautiful eyes were always watching a group of wanderers from all over the mountain heading north.
The mountain wind blew her sleeves, making her look like a real Taoist fairy, but her little mouth opened slightly and she murmured to herself, "Is there a demon-slaying convention?"
Farther away, a one-armed man was walking among the temples at the head of the village with a serrated sword hanging on his shoulder. He was holding a Jianghu death warrant tightly in his hand. He looked at the man depicted on the paper and said coldly, "Dongzhang."
