Chapter 749

The crisp sound of the bowl lid touching the tea bowl sounded. Gu Zheng, who lowered his head to sip tea, said slowly: "The imperial court has a new backer, and temples will soon bloom everywhere."

"When did it happen?" Huicong was shocked.

Buddhism also has a very important position in the Righteous Alliance. Under normal circumstances, if the court chooses to rely on it, it will definitely notify the Righteous Alliance. Buddhism should also get the news very early. However, Huicong did not know about this matter in advance.

"What happened this morning."

Gu Zheng still lowered his head to drink tea, without raising his head when he spoke.

"Judging from the appearance of fellow Taoist Gu, it should be that you and Shushan have already settled the matter?" Master Qingfeng frowned.

"No, I decided it myself!"

Gu Zheng's answer made Master Qingfeng and the others' eyes widen instantly.

"You didn't even pass Shushan before you decided?"

Qingyu Zhenren, who had just received a lesson, was a little excited. Although the imperial power was very free to choose to rely on, since the ancient war decided this matter without going through Shushan, it became clear that the backer would not be Shushan but Emei! As a branch of Shushan, it is impossible for Shushan not to pay attention to incense, so in the eyes of Master Qingyu, Gu Zheng was so bold that he dug his own grave!

"Yes! After all, the name of the temple is 'Ancient Temple', and there is only a statue of me in it."

Gu Zheng put down his tea bowl and looked up to see a pair of wide eyes.

Looking at the calmness on Gu Zheng's face, the representatives from Buddhism and Kunlun didn't know what to say. In their eyes, Gu Zheng was no different from a madman.

The dream state that Butterfly Spirit causes mortals to have only says that it makes mortals believe in Gu Zheng. The representatives of Buddhism and Kunlun can understand it to some extent. After all, this matter is unprecedented, and Gu Zheng can do whatever he likes. However, due to the high regard of the imperial court, Gu Zheng dared to let him enjoy the incense alone. In the eyes of the representatives of the Buddhist and Kunlun sects, this was undoubtedly a treasonous act and seeking death!

After the shock, the representatives from Buddhism and Kunlun looked at each other. The expressions in each other's eyes were very complicated, including helplessness and, of course, gloating.

"Why!"

Master Qingfeng sighed.

The Kunlun Sect came to Emei this time, firstly, to find some sense of presence, and secondly, to find some benefits. After all, what Die Ling has done is a done deal, and it is most practical to find some benefits.

It's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes. It has already failed in finding a sense of existence, let alone what benefits it still wants! Even the previous benefits were taken away by Gu Zheng.

Master Qingfeng has already defined Gu Zheng as a lunatic, so confronting a lunatic will naturally not do any good! Therefore, he decided to change his guess and immediately put on a smiling face.

"Fellow Taoist Gu, I have offended many things before, but I didn't think about it the next time! In fact, just like what Friend Gu said, with your contribution to this world, it is indeed nothing if you use boundary stones for personal matters. It’s something!”

Master Qingfeng's voice paused, and then he said seriously: "Friends of the ancient Taoism, please rest assured that Kunlun will not interfere with the ancient temple!"

After expressing his attitude to Gu Zheng, Master Qingfeng smiled bitterly and said: "Kunlun and Emei have always been on good terms. We have just come to this plane, and we don't understand many things here. I hope fellow Taoist Gu will not let go of some things." In your heart, take back those words you said in anger!”

"The real person wants Kunlun and Emei to get back together. Emei Tower still has your quota. If you need food repair in the future, you can still come to me, right?"

Gu Zheng's sly smile was no longer a big deal in the eyes of Master Qingfeng. He smiled and said, "Exactly!"

"It's okay if you want me to take back what I said before, but he must apologize to me!"

Gu Zheng looked at Zhenren Qingyu.

"I,"

Master Qingyu felt bitter in his heart, but he didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth.

"Junior brother!"

Master Qingfeng shouted complainingly.

"You are the one who caused this. Isn't it right for you to apologize to fellow Taoist Gu?" Master Qingfeng reprimanded.

Master Qingyu took a deep breath, and then said: "Fellow Daoist Gu, I was wrong about what happened before. I offended Friend Gu, and I hope you will forgive me!"

"Um!"

Gu Zheng nodded carelessly. He naturally knew that Master Qingyu's apology was not sincere, but what does it matter? As long as he apologizes! As for if you come to him for food repair in the future, then... hum!

"Fellow Ancient Taoist, we have other things to do, so I won't bother you too much today. I'll visit Emei another day. I hope the ancient Taoist will entertain you with wine and delicious food!" Master Qingfeng stood up and said.

"Since the two fellow Taoists have other things to do, Gu will not try to persuade them to stay! If the two fellow Taoists come to Emei again in the future, I will definitely entertain them with good wine and delicious food!"

Gu Zheng laughed loudly, as if the previous discomfort had never happened. As for talking about good wine and good food, hum!

"Two masters, please take your time and chat, I'll take the first step soon!"

Master Qingfeng said goodbye to Huicong and Huiming.

"You two are good to go."

Huiming didn't raise his eyelids, but there was undisguised contempt in his voice! Before coming to Emei, they talked about advancing and retreating together, but now these two guys from the Kunlun Sect are retreating. How can Huiming think highly of them!

"hehe."

Master Qingfeng doesn't care about Huiming's attitude. Kunlun is different from Buddhism. Although they also want incense, they are not as eager as Buddhism, so there is no need to make Gu Zheng unhappy because of this matter! The cooperative relationship with Buddhism naturally ended here.

"Junior brother!"

Huicong glanced at Huiming displeasedly, and then looked at Qingfeng and Qingyu: "You two go slowly, the poor monk will go to Kunlun to pay a visit another day."

Huicong is at a higher level, and he admires Master Qingfeng's ability to bend and stretch. Moreover, Huicong could tolerate Master Qingfeng and the others leaving. At least when they were bargaining with Gu Zheng, they no longer had to worry about being looked down upon by Qingfeng and Qingyu.

"Senior brother, you are so useless!"

As soon as he walked out of the Emei Hall, Master Qingyu sent a message to Master Qingfeng.

"What's there to be so cowardly about? Do you really want to fight with Gu over this matter?" Qingfeng Zhenren said.

"It's not that I'm talking about a fight. What's the use of the so-called Emei Pagoda usage quota and food cultivation to you and me? As for asking him to take back those words in a humble way?" Qingyu Zhenren said.

"Whether it's useful or not is another matter, but we can't let these benefits disappear from our hands! Otherwise, what will the disciples in the sect think of us? As for our compromise here, only a few people know about it, so it's not too embarrassing. !”

Master Qingfeng passed the message, gritted his teeth and sneered: "Compared with our compromise, what Gu Zheng will face is more exciting. I want to see how he will face Shushan after doing this!"

Emei Grand Hall.

Gu Zheng looked at Huicong and Huiming and said with a smile: "The two masters stayed but didn't speak. What's their plan?"

"Friend ancient Taoist, you also know that we Buddhists attach great importance to incense!" Huiming smiled bitterly.

Indeed, Buddhism attaches far more importance to incense than Taoism. Part of the reason for this is that Buddhism is better at utilizing the power of faith! Qi Ling also said that the things she did for Gu Zheng with the power of pure faith were all Buddhist methods.

"What exactly does the master want to say? Just say it clearly."

Of course Gu Zheng knew what Hui Cong was going to say, but Hui Cong's current softness was all due to his tough attitude! What's more, no matter how hard Huicong surrenders, he will definitely have gloating in his heart, so he has to put on airs when it's time to put on airs.

"snort……"

"Junior brother!"

Huiming was obviously more impulsive, but before he could finish his sneer, he was interrupted by Huiming's angry shout.

"Master Huiming's smile is very interesting, which makes Gu really want to know, what are you laughing at?" Gu Zheng looked at Huiming coldly.

"Junior brother, please tell Master Gu why you are laughing!" Huicong scolded Huiming with a frown.

"I'm not laughing at anything, I'm just laughing at something funny."

Huiming's attitude had calmed down, but he obviously couldn't fool him. Gu Zheng's eyes stared at him tightly, making him very uncomfortable.

"Master Huiming, what are you laughing at? Tell me and make Gu laugh too!" Gu Zheng pressed forward step by step.

"Fellow Ancient Daoist, we went to support Kunlun together before!"

Huiming's face turned red, and he told Gu Zheng what happened before.

"Building friendships? Why did you go so far?" Gu Zheng sneered in his heart, but still looked serious on the surface: "Yes! We did go to support Kunlun together, but what I'm talking about now is what are you laughing at! "

On one side was Gu Zheng's direct gaze, and on the other side was Hui Cong's anxious gaze. Huiming gritted his teeth and said, "I'm laughing at me, I've actually moved my heart!"

"Ha, hahahaha..."

Gu Zheng smiled, amused by the excuse he forced out.

"Amitabha!"

Huicong said the Buddha's name and shook his head, as if he was very disappointed with Huiming.

Gu Zheng's smile quickly stopped. He looked at Huiming and said seriously: "This is the Emei Hall! As a guest, master, you'd better be more solemn!"

"The poor monk knows!"

Huiming lowered his head, smiling bitterly in his heart. Today's Gu Zheng seems to be completely different from the Gu Zheng he knew before. Instead of a group of harmony, there are only spikes all over his body! If you don’t want any conflict to break out with him, then it’s better not to fight against him! After thinking about it, Huiming suddenly admired Master Qingfeng for taking the first step.

"It's good to know."

Gu Zheng smiled slightly and looked at Huicong: "What did the master say before?"

"Amitabha! The poor monk wants to know what the ancient Taoist friends think of the existing temples?" Master Huicong said.

In history, the emphasis on Buddhism and the suppression of Taoism has happened more than once. Now the imperial court wants to build a temple for Guzheng, and Guzheng has become so overbearing in his behavior. This makes Huicong worried that the matter of "valuing Buddhism and suppressing Dao" will be Happened to Buddhism! After all, the place that receives the most incense in China right now is the temple.

Looking at the bitter smile on Huicong's face, Gu Zheng said lightly: "Let the existing temples exist! All I hope is that no one will target my ancient temple!"

"Don't worry, fellow ancient Taoists, how could Buddhism target ancient temples?"

Master Huiming is very serious. He is very grateful that Gu Zheng can still exist the existing temple.

However, this gratitude was naturally not sincere. Huiming, like Kunlun, was waiting for Gu Zheng's joke.

How could Gu Zheng not know what Huiming and Qingfeng were thinking?

Unfortunately, what Huiming and Qingfeng expected to happen would not happen. With Gu Zheng's status in the ancient Shu Mountains, no one would do anything for this. As long as there is no situation in Shushan or trouble from other aspects, Guzheng can be completely ignored.

The next day, Gu Zheng went out to the secular world to solve the troubles encountered by the court.

This is the trouble the court is encountering. In the past few months, ministers in the court have died abnormally one after another. Gao Yuan, who worked for the imperial court, naturally investigated the matter, and the result of the investigation was that these ministers died from the head-lowering technique.

A minister was killed by evil magic, which was a big deal for the court. Unless the killer behind the scenes was found out, who knows whether he would continue to massacre the ministers.

For the immortal cultivators in the ancient world, the head-lowering technique is one of the magic techniques, and it is still an unpopular one among the magic techniques. People killed by head-lowering techniques will have clues left on their bodies. Whether such clues can be discovered depends on the strength of the person who has their heads lowered and the strength of the discoverer.

Although Gao Yuan comes from the ancient times, his own strength is only in the realm of returning to the virtual world, so he can be used to track down general clues to lower his head. However, the strength of the head-lowering master who massacred the court ministers was obviously unusual. Gao Yuan could only tell that the ministers died from the head-lowering technique, but could not find any clues from their corpses.

When Gu Zheng arrived in the capital, he quickly found Gao Yuan through his spiritual exploration, and Gao Yuan also brought him to the place where the corpses of the ministers were stored.

Among the ministers, they were all dead, and every one of them died tragically with bleeding from seven orifices.

Gu Zheng used his spiritual mind to probe into the brain of the corpse, looking for clues left by the head-lowering technique.

It is inevitable to leave clues when performing head-dropping techniques on people, but this clue cannot be discovered by ordinary people, and it will become more difficult to find due to the advanced strength of the head-dropping master.

To use a simple analogy, clues are like knife marks on the wall. The wall is thirty feet away from ordinary people, so it is naturally impossible for ordinary people to see the knife marks. The width and depth of the knife mark are affected by the strength of the head-down master. The stronger the immortal cultivator's spiritual will, the more detailed the things he can detect, and the strength of the spiritual will will make people closer to the wall!

If the cultivator's spiritual thoughts are strong enough, then the clues he can find from the corpse, in addition to containing the Qi of the descending master, can also be used to locate the descending master by using the relationship between the clues and the descending master. .

The head-lowering master who performs the head-lowering technique on ministers is very strong, but this is only for the plateau. Not long after Gu Zheng's spiritual thoughts penetrated the corpse, he discovered the clues left by the Jiangtou master. Through this clue, Gu Zheng obtained the Qi of Jiangtou Master, and began to use clues to locate Jiangtou Master.

The feeling of positioning the head-lowering master is very strange, just like holding a silk thread tied to an unknown object. However, when Gu Zheng collected half of the silk thread, the thread suddenly broke!

"Senior, how's it going?"

Seeing Gu Zheng, who had closed his eyes before, open his eyes, Gao Yuan quickly asked.

"The clue has been cut off." Gu Zheng said calmly.

"What should we do?"

Gao Yuan's heart sank. The other party was able to discover Gu Zheng's tracking and cut off the clues, which showed that his strength was higher than predicted. Moreover, once the clue is cut off, it cannot be continued, and the head-dropping master is also on guard and wants to track him through the clues in the other corpses. What he encountered must be that the clue was cut off again as soon as he traced it!

"It doesn't matter. It's a little late that the clues were cut off. Although I don't have the exact location of him, I already know the country he is in. With his country and his Qi, it won't be a problem to find him. Yes." Gu Zheng said coldly.

The country where Master Jiangtou is located is the leader of the Celestial Dynasty and is known as the Buddhist country.

Now is the era of Fa Xing. After there are more immortal cultivators on the earth, many things have become standardized.

When Gu Zheng first became an immortal cultivator, he flew directly to another country! Although this kind of behavior is considered as illegal immigration, basically I have never encountered any immortal cultivators from the country I was illegally crossing into.

But this time it was different. After Gu Zheng flew to the country where Master Jiangtou was located, he unexpectedly met a bearded immortal cultivator.

Immortal cultivators are just a general term for people who have reached a certain level of strength. In fact, the bearded man who blocked Gu Zheng's way was not cultivating an immortal power ball in his body at all, but a cyclone with very mixed energy in Gu Zheng's view.

Big Beard's strength is only equivalent to that of an immortal cultivator in the early stages of the Qi Transformation Realm. He only had the strength to fly in front of Gu Zheng with the help of a crutch-like immortal weapon.

Big Beard was not very capable, but he was very courageous. When he stopped Gu Zheng, he immediately asked Gu Zheng if he had the jade charm to pass the customs.

Like when Chakar went to Emei to visit Guzheng before, if he wanted to avoid unnecessary accidents, he had to go to the place designated by the heavenly cultivators and get the jade talisman for customs clearance. Although Chakar is quite capable, when he went to the Celestial Dynasty, he obediently took the Jade Talisman to pass the customs. Moreover, such things as jade talismans for customs clearance have existed since ancient times.

With Gu Zheng as a person, since some things have become standardized under the general trend, it doesn't matter if he does things according to the rules. However, what Die Ling did with the boundary stone has turned him into a robber, so he doesn't have to care so much. According to the logic of robbers, whoever has the bigger fist has the final say!

The bearded man was also unlucky. After many years of seclusion, he finally reached the level of an immortal cultivator. As soon as he came out of seclusion, he saw an exotic cultivator and immediately wanted to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf.

In the eyes of the bearded man, no matter how strong the opponent is, as long as the opponent is a cultivator who came through the regular channels, he will be very polite to him. He will pretend to be a big shot and satisfy his desire. Even if the opponent is a cultivator who came here illegally, as long as he is smart, nothing will happen. At most, he will say some soft words and pretend to be a grandson. Anyway, it's not like he hasn't pretended before.

However, the bearded man never expected that he had just asked the other party if he had a jade talisman for passing the level. The other party smiled evilly and waved his hand at him. His body flew towards the other party uncontrollably and was grabbed by the other party's head.

"Boy, the ancestor wants to search your soul. If you don't struggle, there will be no harm!"

Gu Zheng's arrogant voice sounded in the bearded man's mind.
