The Path Toward Heaven
Chapter 172
Jingjue Temple received a letter.
It wasn't the request for the letter from the father-in-law to meet with the prince, because he did not dare.
These days the emperor has never seen the concubine's face, which means he has been thinking about it for a long time.
The letter came much larger, and no one dared to delay it and sent it directly to the chief of the law hall.
The chief of the law hall hurried through the piece of Taolin to the deepest part of the temple.
A young monk sat on his knees in front of the window, staring at the pile of thin wooden sticks in front of him, his expression was very focused.
The chief of the law hall knows that this is Zen's favorite game of picking sticks. The whole Guocheng Temple has already been seen for a long time.
He knew that Zenzi did not like being disturbed at this time, but he coughed and walked in.
Chan Zi sighed helplessly and asked, "What's the matter?"
The chief of the law hall handed over the letter in his hand.
Zenko raised his eyebrows slightly, took out the letter paper, and soon read the contents of the letter.
This letter is a holy book of knives.
Chief Lu Tang worriedly asked, "What is Brother Cao's letter?"
Zenko said: "He asked someone."
The chief of Lutang asked: "Who?"
Zenko smiled and said, "He asked Jing Jiu if he was a descendant of the temple."
Listening to this problem, the chief of the law hall relaxed a little.
The status of Dao Sheng should not have been interested in these gossips, but in association with his former identity, he could understand why he wrote a letter to ask.
In fact, the chief of the law hall is also very interested in this matter.
A few years ago, he represented the Guocheng Temple to observe the ceremony of the Qingshan Zongchengjian Conference. At that time, he was a little puzzled.
Later, there were a lot of comments about Jing Jiu's history. He couldn't help but think it was related to this?
The successor status of Guo Chengsi ’s red dust has always been extremely secret, except that the abbot and Zenzi are unknown, and he can only guess.
"I'll reply. Is there anything else?"
Chan Zi still did not give a clear answer.
Chief Lu Tang glanced at the thin letter paper in his hand and said, "This Taoist battle is in the Wansong Snow Mountain in the north of Mohai. It is very far away from the Zhenbei Army and Brother Cao. Although it was originally meant to test their potential between life and death, but ... should they be secretly taken care of?
There is no clear target for his remarks, but it is obviously someone mentioned in the letter.
Chan Zi thought for a while and said, "My old friend was cautious all his life. Jing Jiu inherited his legacy and thought it would be fine."
...
...
Daoist battles were held in the far north, and the various sects participating in the May Fair remained in Chaoge City.Xishanju is still full of people, even more lively than some time ago, because many practitioners do not stay in their courtyards to meditate as they usually do, but come to the outside of the Yaping.
Practitioners do not go out for a walk or socialize, but look at paintings.
Xishanju has a method to prevent heavy rain, but there is an extremely long rain corridor between the courtyards, which is very smooth on the side of the mountain. There are dozens of paintings painted on it.
The paintings reached the ground from the top of the corridor, about two feet high and two feet wide. Two or three birds were painted with gold powder, and the plum branches twisted in between, and the red plum blossomed.
Most practitioners' eyes fall on the middle painting.
The plum blossoms in that painting bloomed very well, and dozens of flowers had already been formed. The flowers were large and extremely colorful, just like blood, with a shocking beauty.
Regardless of how you look at it, this painting should have been more than half completed.
The plum branches stretched downward, and the ink became deeper, and turned into words, which turned out to be names.
"Luo Huainan is really too strong."
Someone said with emotion: "Although Tong Yan is closed, only one person is enough to make Zhongzhou send his arrogance."
There are five names under the picture.
Luo Huainan's name is in between.
Each name sticks out a cold branch, and the branches bear plum blossoms.
The five cold branches are intertwined and superimposed, and it looks like the plum blossoms are blooming, and it is impossible to distinguish which branch is from.
If you look closely, you can see that most of the plum blossoms originated from the branch of Luohuainan plum.
The branches of the rest will bear one or two flowers.
There are many other paintings under the rain corridor, the content of the paintings is basically the same, but the number and size of the plum blossoms are different.
This is the list of the May Fair Road Battle.
It is also legendary: treading blood to find plums.
...
...
The young practitioners who participate in the Mei-Mei road warfare will be drawn into groups according to their fighting styles and skills, and each group consists of five people.
Every time a snow country monster is killed, a blood plum will be added to the painting. At the same time, according to the strength difference of the snow country monster, the plum blossom is divided into three different sizes.
Which group finishes his painting first will be considered a winner and has nothing to do with the competition among the denominations.
The predecessor practitioners of the year did this design, not wanting the sects to do their own thing, and clashes in Taoist wars, away from the intention of uniting the righteous practitioners against foreign enemies.But the denominations are there. Who wouldn't care about their respective records?Those who have their own good deeds will calculate the score according to the denomination.
In this Dao Battle, Luo Huainan's performance is as strong as ever, and the rest of the Zhongzhou School's disciples such as Xiang Wanshu and others have also performed very well. The current record far exceeds that of other denominations.Tonglu of Xihai Sword School is worthy of being ranked second by the roller blind. His plum branches also bear a lot of plum blossoms, the number of which is not even below Luohuainan, but the plum blossoms are of different sizes and look a little awkward.Other disciples such as Yimaozhai and Kunlun and Baotong Temple also performed as well as in previous years.
Something surprising is Aoyama Sect.
...
...
Daze ’s Zuo Yushen walked under the gallery, his face showing a worried expression, thinking that this time the Qingshan Sect was in trouble.
Mei Hui divided into five items for piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and calligraphy. Apart from Nan Wang of the year and Jing Jiu of this year, Qingshan disciples rarely participated in the first four.
But in the last Dao battle, Qingshan Sect's performance has always been the strongest-in recent Mei-Mei meetings, Luo Huainan has won the first Dao battle in succession, and Qingshan disciples have also won many excellent rankings, especially by denomination. At that time, Qingshan disciples never let the first side fall.
Compared with previous years, the performance of Qingshanzong this year is too general, and it can even be said to be terrible.The reason why this happens is that in the past years, the Qingshan Sect often used the disciples of Liangwangfeng as the main force in the battle of the battle, and this year because of various circumstances, the disciples of Liangwangfeng came very rarely.
In particular, the top three powerhouses such as Nanshan, Jianruyun, and Guhan who did not appear in the top three did not appear.
According to the current situation, not to mention fighting with the Zhongzhou faction, the record of the Yimaozhai, Xihai sword faction and even Kunlun may leave the Qingshan Sect far behind.
This is really embarrassing.
Many practitioners are discussing this matter.
"What about Jing Jiu? Isn't it legend that he is very powerful? I heard that the killing gods of the two forgetful peaks in Nanshan didn't come because of his reasons.
"It's just fierce, but based on his time and state of monasticism, can it be better than the first apprentice of Qingshan?"
"Even if there are any hidden feelings, is his performance too bad?"
The road war has begun for more than ten days.
After the initial tension and discomfort, the young genius disciples from the sect began to show their sharp edge.
There are more and more blood plums on those paintings, even the worst will have two or three small plums, although it looks a bit shabby.
In the end, there was a painting but it was still blank. There were only a few branches, which was pitiful.
