Chapter 496 Severely Punish Zhang Zhiwei? I Will Kill You with One Sword.
"The heads of the four families are here. Are the people from the Trinity Gate on their way?"
Zhang Zhiwei was a little surprised, "It takes so much effort to do such a small thing?"
"You kid..." The senior brother shook his head and said, "Speaking of which, Tianshi is really good at judging people. You kid is good at everything, but he is too arrogant, doesn't take things seriously, and doesn't take himself too seriously. It's happened."
"Do you think you are still the ordinary little Taoist Zhang Zhiwei from Longhu Mountain who is unknown in the world?"
"That's wrong, things are different now. Your boy is now the famous Little Celestial Master. He became famous in the first battle in the Lu Family Courtyard, and then he went to the Northeast, went to the Demon City, and visited Trinity..."
"Any one of these things alone can make a person famous. With all the blessings on you, can you imagine your fame?"
"Coupled with your identity as a disciple of Longhu Mountain, although the Celestial Master has no name, everyone in the world regards you as the future Celestial Master."
"As the saying goes, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. With so many honors, your every move will be magnified a hundred times, and the impact will be magnified a hundred times."
"So, even a trivial problem will become quite serious after being magnified a hundred times."
"That's when this incident happened. Now, do you understand the seriousness of the problem?"
After the senior brother finished speaking, he seemed to want to show his concern, so he stood up on tiptoe to pat Zhang Zhiwei's shoulder as usual, but found that it was out of reach, so he had to retract his hand with a look of resentment.
He thought to himself, what did this boy eat to grow up? Why is he growing taller endlessly? He may be over 1.9 meters tall. If he continues to grow, he may not reach the height of the legendary protector gods.
In this era, even the families of landowners could hardly have meat every day. For some small landowners, it was considered good to have one egg a day. Only the gentry and powerful people had luxury, so they were generally malnourished.
The height of ordinary people is usually about 1.6 meters. Zhang Zhiwei's height of more than 90 meters is nearly two heads taller than others, and everyone who sees him is terrified.
When Zhang Zhiwei saw this, he patted his senior brother on the shoulder and said:
"Senior brother, I understand what you mean. I will handle this matter well."
"Are you going to handle it?" Senior Brother said disbelief written all over his face, "How are you going to handle it?"
Zhang Zhiwei said in a deep voice: "Convince others with virtue!"
The senior brother was speechless. He raised his head and rolled his eyes:
"Come on, you are trying to convince others with your virtue. Who are you trying to bluff? I don't know you yet? If you say you can defeat them, how much do I believe it?"
Can you guess this? Zhang Zhiwei touched his nose and thought to himself.
Seeing his expression, the senior brother was stunned and said with suspicion:
"You really think so?"
Although he has been practicing in Longhu Mountain during this period, he is not completely ignorant of the outside world. He knows that with Zhang Zhiwei's current strength, he is not afraid of those old seniors as long as they fight.
But this is Longhu Mountain. If someone is really beaten, it will be bad if word spreads. Outsiders will not think that their Longhu Mountain is some kind of dragon pond and tiger den?
"How can you do that? I've already said that you should convince others with virtue!"
Zhang Zhiwei patted his senior brother hard on the shoulder and said, "Senior brother, you are busy with your business. I will go to the Great Shangqing Palace to have a look."
After saying that, he headed towards the Great Shangqing Palace. Since they were discussing his affairs, he, the rightful owner, would naturally be present.
Zhang Huaiyi and Tian Jinzhong said hello to the senior brother, and then hurriedly followed him along with Lu Ci and Lu Ren.
The senior brother looked at them, then looked in the direction of Sihan Tianshi Mansion, and quickly followed them.
How could he miss such a thing?
Although with his status, even if he went to the Great Shangqing Palace, he would not be able to enter the meeting site, but he could stay at the door and wait for first-hand news. Anyway, with Zhang Zhiwei's character, as long as it does not involve some taboo things, ask him , he will say.
…………
…………
At the same time, the Great Shangqing Palace and the Great Immortal Palace.
There were hundreds of chairs in the main hall, half of them were full. These people were talking in low voices, but the whole venue did not seem noisy.
The Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing is wearing the Celestial Master's robe and sitting in the first seat. Behind him is a huge painting. The scene in the painting is majestic and majestic. The towering mountains are rolling. On the mountain, there is an ox riding backwards, playing an iron flute. little shepherd boy.
The ordinaryness of the shepherd boy forms a sharp contrast with the majesty of the mountains and rivers in the painting, but in fact, the shepherd boy is Zhang Jixian, the 33rd generation Celestial Master.
As the first person under the Ancestral Heavenly Master, there are many portraits of him in Longhu Mountain, ranging from children to adults.
Under Zhang Jixian's portrait, in addition to the Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing, there are also Zhang Yi, the transmitter of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Shoucheng, the recommended master, and Yi Qian, the presiding officer of Zhengyiguan, all of whom have outstanding achievements in Longhu Mountain.
Originally, there were far more Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain than these who wanted to come. Zhang Yushan wanted to come, but Zhang Jingqing felt that if too many came, it would give people a feeling of overpowering others.
Although he did have this idea, people have gone to Longhu Mountain, and they are fighting in their own territory as if they are facing a powerful enemy, and everything is covered with soldiers. What kind of thing is this? Wouldn't it be ridiculous to say it out loud?
Therefore, Zhang Jingqing only brought a few high-level practitioners who were quite close to Zhang Zhiwei. Anyway, with a few of them, they would be able to control the situation.
Zhang Jingqing sat at the front seat with dignity, turning a blind eye to the conversation below. She picked up the tea cup next to her and took a sip, with her eyes lowered and her expression calm.
On the contrary, Zhang Yi and Yi Qian, one playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop, were arguing with the people below.
At this time, the abbot of Tiantai Sect, Master Dehong, who was wearing a scarlet cassock and looked serious, frowned when he saw Zhang Jingqing drinking tea leisurely and not wanting to answer.
He was the pioneer of this incident and one of the initiators. He couldn't let Zhang Jingqing continue to be so muddy. But in this kind of thing, the first bird to come out will be shot. He turned his head to the monk next to him who was wearing a gray monk's robe, with white hair and beard, and a kind face like an old man, and said:
"Master Henglin, you are the most respected here, and you have an old relationship with Tianshi. Why don't you speak first and talk about this matter?"
Master Henglin, with a kind face, glanced at Master Dehong, smiled and nodded, then stood up from the chair and walked towards Zhang Jingqing.
Seeing this, the young monk beside Master Henglin secretly thought that the master was confused. Although there is a saying in Buddhism that if I don't go to hell, who will? But that is to save people and put out fires, and dare to be the first. How can I go first in such an offensive matter now?
He complained a few words in his heart, but the young monk still followed the master's steps and accompanied him.
This young monk is Jie Kong, one of the ten masters in later generations, the master of the company's temporary worker Xiao Zizai, who was born as a Shaolin monk and later became the abbot of Lingyin Temple.
However, at this time, he is still young and is still learning from the Shaolin abbot, and has not gone to Lingyin Temple to be the abbot.
Many people can't distinguish between the abbot and the abbot in Buddhism, or equate the two, but in fact, it is not the case.
The abbot is a position. As long as there is a temple, there will be an abbot. Only one appointment is needed, nothing else is needed.
And the abbot must pass on the degree, have the files to recognize, and be recorded in the history books, similar to the position of the Taoist Tianshi. The first ancestor, the second ancestor, the third ancestor, the fourth ancestor... The inheritance of the mantle is the abbot.
In short, the abbot can be the abbot of many temples, but there can only be one host. Of course, if the abbot wants to intervene directly, then he should be the host abbot.
Like the Shaolin abbot Shi Yongxing in later generations, he is both the abbot and the host.
"Zhang Tianshi, it's been many years since we parted ways in the boxing arena. I hope you are doing well. I have thought about the scene of reunion many times, but I never thought it would be in this way!"
Shaolin abbot Shi Henglin walked up to Zhang Jingqing and said.
Shaolin Temple is a holy place of Buddhism. Legend has it that the Buddhist saint, Bodhidharma, sat facing the wall in Shaolin Temple for nine years, and suddenly realized it with one move, created the Buddhist Zen, and became the first ancestor of Zen.
Therefore, Shaolin Temple is revered as the ancestral home of Zen.
In the three religions, Shaolin is often compared with dragon and tiger. Some young people who love to fight often compare Tianshi and Shaolin abbot to know who is stronger.
But few people know that the contemporary Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master and the contemporary Shaolin Master were close friends when they were young. They both participated in the boxing sports of the year and fought against the strange men from eight countries. They were considered to be friends for life and death.
But later, one of them became a Heavenly Master and the other became an abbot. They each ruled one side, and they were different in Buddhism and Taoism, so it was difficult for them to meet again.
In fact, this time he was invited by the abbot of Tiantai Sect, Master Dehong, to come to Longhu Mountain. He didn't want to cause trouble for his old friend's apprentice, but felt that the end was not far away, so he came to say goodbye to his old friend.
Because he had no bad intentions, Master Dehong asked him to speak first, so he spoke first.
Anyway, he just came to reminisce about the past and bring his little apprentice to see the world.
Seeing that his old friend was the first to speak, Zhang Jingqing said in a deep voice: "Henglin, are you here for my evil disciple?"
Master Henglin called Zhang Jingqing Zhang Tianshi, and Zhang Jingqing called Master Henglin Henglin, not the abbot, which shows that Zhang Jingqing really regarded the abbot in front of him as a close friend.
Master Henglin smiled, and there was no strangeness after not seeing each other for many years. He said: "No, no, I used the excuse of going to Longhu, but I just wanted to visit you while everyone is here. I have no intention of interfering in your own affairs, Jingqing. Now that I see that you are full of energy and in good condition, I am relieved!"
After listening to Master Henglin's explanation, Zhang Jingqing's brows relaxed and he was about to stand up to greet him.
Master Henglin waved his hand and said: "It will take a long time to reminisce about the past. You should deal with the things here first!"
After that, he turned his head and looked at everyone: "My fellow Taoists, regarding the matter of Zhang Zhiwei, the disciple of the Heavenly Master, I think it is just a family affair of Longhu Mountain. Shaolin Temple is not convenient to get involved in it. Everything is up to the Heavenly Master to decide."
After that, he returned to his seat and sat down. He didn't even look at Master Dehong next to him, and closed his eyes and meditated directly.
But his words caused a wave of waves. Some people were satisfied, while some people were secretly angry. They had expected the Shaolin abbot to be the first to take action, but they didn't expect him to ignore it directly and even blame it.
Soon, these people looked at Master Dehong.
They went up the mountain together to suppress this young Heavenly Master who stood out from the crowd, but Longhu Mountain was famous. Whoever spoke first would undoubtedly have a feud with him alone.
If hundreds of people rushed forward, they would have nothing to worry about, but no one wanted to be the victim of the first attack.
Seeing the situation deadlocked, Master Dehong of the Tiantai Sect knew that he could not delay any longer, so he said:
"Everyone, I think that Master Henglin's opinion is inappropriate. Zhang Zhiwei colluded with the head of Quanxing Sect and became brothers with the head of Quanxing Sect. This cannot be simply attributed to the family affairs of the Tianshi Mansion."
"You know, your disciple is called the Little Celestial Master in the world. Since he is the future Celestial Master, his every move represents Longhu Mountain and the Taoist sect. But such a person chooses to go Being in cahoots with the Quanxing Demon, as your direct disciple, doesn’t he know what this means?”
Master Dehong said in a deep voice: "If people want to join Quanxing, they only need to publicly declare to join Quanxing. Although this move is hasty, both the decent and Quanxing recognize it, because it is equivalent to a contract."
"It means that from now on, I am not bound by any laws, nor protected by the law. I can do whatever I want to whoever I want, burn, kill, and loot, all according to my will. Whoever wants to do to me can do whatever they want, including killing. If you want to cut it, please do as you wish.”
"So, we who are on the right path kill Quan Xing's disciples without any burden. This is to respect their choice, and Quan Xing has no complaints."
"And the matter of sworn vows has been about sharing blessings and sharing hardships since ancient times. This is no longer an ordinary relationship between friends. As the other party is the head of Quanxing, the world will punish him. The little heavenly master and the head of Quanxing have sworn sworn vows. Naturally, they have to share the sworn relationship with each other. Advancing and retreating, could this act be an injustice to the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion?"
"If the Heavenly Master doesn't deal with him, if he doesn't clean up the door, and still regards him as the future Heavenly Master, is he trying to drag the entire Longhu Mountain and the entire Taoism into the whole nature? Fall into evil ways?"
These remarks caused an uproar in the entire audience. Even the good-tempered Zhang Shoucheng couldn't help it. He slammed the table and shouted:
"Be bold!"
Zhang Yi stood up and cursed: "How dare Shu Zian be so presumptuous?!"
Yi Qian even drew his sword and said, "Damn it, I'll kill you with one sword!"
Seeing that the situation was about to break out, everyone quickly broke up the fight and suppressed Yi Qian.
Looking at Yi Qian who looked like an irritable old man, Zhang Jingqing pressed her hands:
"It's a discussion. It's normal to have some disputes. If you don't agree, you'll kill someone. What's the big deal? If outsiders listen, they think we at Longhu Mountain are unreasonable."
He looked at everyone and said, "Say one more thing, one word per person!"
As soon as Zhang Jingqing said these words, the scene suddenly froze and no one spoke.
After a while, the abbot of Qinglong Temple came out to smooth things over and said:
"The Celestial Master and all the masters of the Celestial Master's Mansion please calm down. Although Master Dehong's words are a bit exaggerated, they are not unreasonable. As a disciple of the leader of the righteous path, he does not do the righteous things, but joins the evil spirits and heretics. It is really unreasonable. Please punish me severely!"
One of the two people played the bad side, and the other played the bad side. In just a few words, they settled the matter.
