Changsheng did not go straight to the square in front of the main hall, but carefully dodged and moved forward. The Taoists here were all martial arts practitioners. If he was stopped by someone on the way, he would not even have a chance to get close to the square.
As he moved forward, he was also thinking anxiously in his heart. Although he didn't know what the Shangqing Dharma Conference was about, he knew that the Dharma Conference was very large. Not only Taoist priests from Gezao Mountain but also many outsiders were participating. Taoists and martial arts people who are watching the ceremony will definitely be stopped if they rush in and disrupt the Dharma assembly. The time left for them to speak is very limited. They must speak clearly and concisely before being dragged away by the Taoist who maintains order. the truth.
His act of rushing into the Dharma assembly was like a moth flying into a flame. If he speaks in a confusing manner and fails to convey his meaning, he will surely miss the opportunity and be dragged out of the square before everyone can figure out what happened. Therefore, he must speak loudly and with great brains. Clearly, it is best to let everyone understand what happened in a few words. Only when everyone becomes suspicious can he continue to stay in the square to confront Luo Shunzi.
With the cover of bamboos, trees, flowers and plants in front of and behind the house, Changsheng gradually approached the square. At this time, Taoist music was being played outside the main hall, and the square was full of people. The closer he got to the square, the more nervous he became. This battle was really... It was so big that it took a lot of courage to rush in in front of everyone.
Although he was extremely nervous, he did not dare to delay, because those sitting on the east side of the square were all facing west. Several people had been looking towards the bamboo bush where he was hiding, and they had undoubtedly discovered him.
Taking a deep breath, summoning up courage, Changsheng strode towards the square. At this time, there were many Zhike Taoists standing around the square, but those standing in the west did not see him, while those standing in the east saw him but had no time to stop him. .
Changsheng walked straight past several Zhike Taoists. Because he appeared too suddenly, several people were confused and failed to intercept him in time. While they were stunned, Changsheng walked into the square through the gap between the two sects. , in the middle of the square is the north-south passage covered with yellow carpet. Until he stood on the yellow carpet, those knowledgeable people did not catch up. It was not that they did not react, but that they had never encountered such a situation and did not know how to deal with it.
In an instant, the eyes of everyone around the square were focused on Chang Sheng. Chang Sheng ignored his nervousness and fear and immediately shouted loudly, "My name is Chang Sheng, and I am Luo Yangzi's disciple. Before his death, my master asked me to return a The Golden Pill of Heaven was given to Luo Shunzi, the abbot of Gezaoshan. I arrived yesterday evening and handed the Golden Pill of Return to Heaven to Luo Shunzi, but Luo Shunzi actually wanted to kill me and silence me."
When Changsheng said this, the Taoist Zhike on the sidelines had already started to run to the center of the square. Changsheng knew that there was not much time left for him to speak, so how could he dare to delay? He hurriedly shouted, "My master has found three people in total. All the Golden Pills of Returning to Heaven were given to Luo Shunzi, who handed them over to another person. I don’t know who Master wanted to give the Golden Pills of Returning to Heaven, but the person who got the Golden Pills of Returning to Heaven must know that those three Golden Pills of Returning to Heaven The Heavenly Golden Pill was found by my master after all the hard work!"
Hearing Chang Sheng's words, there was a lot of discussion inside and outside the court. Several Taoist insiders had already run into the court and started pulling and dragging him. Chang Sheng was weak and weak and could not resist. He could only shout loudly, "Luo Shunzi wants to kill me and silence me. Huitianjin" The elixir was found by my master Luo Yangzi. The Huitian Golden Pill can only cure chronic diseases and cannot improve cultivation. He must have given it to someone. The person who got the Huitian Golden Pill must know that those three golden pills are My master Luo Yangzi worked hard to find it."
Due to Chang Sheng's sudden intrusion, which interrupted the Taoist music, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Just as Changsheng was being pulled out of the square, a low voice suddenly came from the Zhengbei Hall, "Don't drag the young man, let him finish what he said."
The speaker was located in the main hall, and Changsheng could not see his appearance, but his voice was deep and old, and he was definitely not Luo Shunzi.
After this man spoke, several Zhike Taoists had no choice but to let go. Changsheng turned around and ran back to the square. Looking north, he saw an old Taoist with a white beard wearing a red and yellow robe slowly walking out of the hall, half a step behind him. There were also two elderly Taoists wearing red and yellow Taoist robes. Behind the three were more than ten Taoist priests wearing purple Taoist robes, and Luo Shunzi was among them.
Before the white-bearded old Taoist could ask questions, Changsheng said loudly, "Old Master, my name is Changsheng, and my master's name is Lin Dongyang. He was originally a Taoist priest in Gezaoshan, with the Taoist name Luo Yangzi. Later, you expelled him from the school for half a year. My master died of poisoning before. Before his death, he entrusted me to send a Golden Pill of Return to Heaven to Gezao Mountain and give it to Luo Shunzi, asking him to pass it on to others. But yesterday I came here to deliver Master's letter and the Golden Pill of Return to Heaven. After handing it over to Luo Shunzi, he actually slandered me as an assassin and suddenly took action to take my life."
Changsheng didn't bother to pause for breath, and continued, "He didn't know that I carried the healing pill and the heaven-returning pill with me. After he left, I took two pills to save my life. I have never practiced martial arts, and I have no spiritual energy cultivation. "Why, how can we assassinate him? There were two Taoists at the door when he hurt me yesterday. You can ask them if Luo Shunzi hurt me last night."
Changsheng lost too much blood and was hungry. He spoke so loudly one after another that he felt a little top-heavy. However, he did not dare to stop. Just as he was about to try his best to speak again, the white-bearded old man in front of the main hall said, "You don't need to be in a hurry. Speak slowly." Come."
Changsheng cupped his hands and thanked him, then continued, "My master wrote me a letter before he died and asked me to give it to Luo Shunzi. Yesterday, the letter was soaked through water and the handwriting was blurred. Only then did I read the content of the letter. It turned out that master Luo Yangzi Over the years, I have found a total of three Golden Pills of Returning to Heaven, and gave them to Luo Shunzi, entrusting him to pass them on to others. I don’t know who Luo Shunzi gave the Golden Pills of Returning to Heaven. Those three Golden Pills of Returning to Heaven were all found by my master. not him."
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, the white-bearded old Taoist looked solemn and raised his hands to salute the people in the square, "Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, the incident happened suddenly, and I asked you to wait for a while until the matter is found out before continuing the ceremony."
After the white-bearded Taoist had finished speaking, he ordered the Taoist Zhike beside him, "Move the chair with the young man and give him a pot of tea."
Upon hearing this, the Taoist Zhike hurriedly moved the wooden stools. They would not place them in the center of the yellow carpet, but on the west edge. Changsheng had finished speaking at this time, so he walked over and sat down.
Not long after, the tea was delivered, but Changsheng didn't take it, he just sat there with his head bowed.
After settling in Changsheng, the white-bearded old man turned back to look at Luo Shunzi, "Luo Shunzi, is what that young man said the truth?"
"Master Mingjian, I have never seen that young man, and I don't know anything about what he said." Luo Shunzi denied it flatly.
"Yesterday I was escorted down from Dongshan by several Taoists. Two of them were still watching me at the door," Changsheng said urgently. "He injured me in that room without a rear window. I was seriously injured. You can still tell the difference even if you vomit blood.”
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, the white-bearded Taoist turned around and said something to the purple-clothed Taoist behind him. The two purple-clothed Taoists immediately left quickly. One of them led people to the room Chang Sheng mentioned, and the other summoned the Taoist on duty to ask about yesterday's situation.
Although Chang Sheng had the courage to seek justice for his master, he did not have the courage to raise his head to face the strange looks everyone gave him, and sat alone on the sidelines, feeling embarrassed.
Not long after, the two Taoists in purple returned, and the white-bearded Taoist asked in a deep voice, "Luo Xianzi, did someone take the young man from Dongshan to a forbidden place yesterday?"
"Back to Master, I have already asked the disciples on duty. No one saw this person yesterday." The purple-robed Taoist replied loudly.
Changsheng was shocked when he heard this, and just when he was about to retort, the white-bearded old Taoist looked at another Taoist in purple, "Luo Zhengzi, are there any blood stains left in the forbidden area?"
"Back to Master, the forbidden area has not been used for many days. There is only dust inside and no blood stains." The purple-robed Taoist answered with his hands in hand.
Chang Sheng felt chills all over his body when he heard the words. These Taoists were all lying. He then thought of the Taoist Zhike he saw at the foot of the mountain yesterday, but in the end he didn't mention it. He didn't want to implicate this person, not to mention even if he said No one would believe him.
The purple-clothed Taoist named Luo Zhengzi said to the white-bearded old Taoist, "Master, Senior Brother Luo Shunzi is an upright man, and he is serious in speech and speech. He travels around the world all year round, so he can't avoid making enemies and attracting hatred. Someone with ulterior motives must have deliberately chosen this time to frame him. I’m embarrassed, but I ask Master to clearly understand the situation and make a balanced decision.”
The white-bearded old man did not answer, but raised his head and looked at Changsheng, "That boy, you said that Luo Yangzi once wrote a letter to you. Where is the letter now?"
"Burned by Luo Shunzi." Changsheng shook his head and said, since Ge Zaoshan was partial, it was useless for him to say anything.
"Young man, since you are young and ignorant, I won't go into this matter further. You can go down the mountain. Don't be deceived by others or criticize others in the future." The old white-bearded Taoist said harmoniously.
Chang Sheng was unwilling to give up and said loudly, "Golden Pill, Golden Pill of Return to Heaven, Luo Shunzi is not sick, that Golden Pill is useless to him, who must he have given it to, and who took that Golden Pill? There were two more before. , to whom were they given?”
Chang Sheng originally thought that no one would answer, but he never thought that a female Taoist sitting on the east side would say something, "What does the Golden Pill of Return to Heaven look like to you?"
Changsheng heard the words and looked up at the female Taoist, only to see that she was in her early thirties, tall and very beautiful.
"Jun'er." The white-bearded old man frowned.
"Dad, let him say it." The female Taoist looked directly at Changsheng.
"It's only the size of a bean, golden in color, and round in shape." Changsheng answered eagerly.
The female Taoist frowned upon hearing this and turned to look at Luo Shunzi at the door of the hall.
Before Luo Shunzi could answer, Luo Zhengzi on the side had already snorted and said, "Huh, you've been listening carefully. That Snow Lotus Life-Resisting Pill was bought by Senior Brother at a high price from the snowy areas of Northern Xinjiang. Senior Brother was busy yesterday. It was me. I went down the mountain to get it back in person. We don’t know who ordered you to come here to slander Senior Brother, but if you continue to talk nonsense and ruin the reputation of Zaoshan, don’t blame us for being ruthless."
Changsheng ignored Luo Zhengzi, but continued to stare at the beautiful female Taoist, "I don't know who you are, but you must have received the elixir yesterday. You should have received two similar elixirs before. The previous one I have never seen the two pills, but the one you received yesterday was delivered by me personally. I don’t know if you have taken that pill. If you haven’t, go back and take a closer look. The wax seal is not round, but oval, because when I hid it in the stick, the wax seals on both sides were squeezed out a little."
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, the female Taoist's complexion changed drastically, and she sat in astonishment without saying a word.
"I sent the elixir, and I did what I promised to the master." Chang Sheng stood up numbly and walked around in confusion, "My master is dead, and you will not speak a word of justice for him. Your sect does not distinguish between black and white. If the grudges are unclear, it doesn’t matter if you don’t get involved..."
"You wantonly slander without any evidence." Luo Shunzi jumped up in the air and reached out to grab Changsheng. "Stay with me and make your words clear before leaving."
Just when Luo Shunzi was about to grab Changsheng's shoulder, a person suddenly appeared from the seat on the west side. He pulled Changsheng's sleeve and dragged him away. At the same time, he quickly used his left palm to knock Luo Shunzi back in the air.
Changsheng stumbled and couldn't see clearly the figure of the person who saved him. He could only vaguely smell the faint fragrance of orchids on this person...
