Chapter 504: The Power of the Heavenly Master, Bad News for the Wang Family

“Dong~Dong~Dong~”

In the bell tower in front of the Great Shangqing Palace, the bell pestle wrapped in red cloth hit the bronze bell again and again, and the deafening bell sounded throughout the Longhu Mountain.

Accompanied by the bell sound, Master Henglin of Shaolin Temple led everyone out of the main gate of the Great Shangqing Palace.

At the door stood six old high-level masters of Longhu Mountain wearing red Turin robes, all holding various magic tools, ready to rush in if something went wrong. Behind them, there were many Taoist priests of the Mesozoic era in Longhu Mountain.

As soon as everyone went out, they saw this scene and were immediately frightened. Looking at this murderous posture, if there had been a big conflict before, wouldn’t they have rushed in and fought shoulder to shoulder?

Is Longhu Mountain so uncivilized? A little thing is like a gang fight. Looking at this posture, who would dare to come to Longhu Mountain again in the future... Reasonable?

While everyone was complaining in their hearts, they also breathed a sigh of relief, because these Taoists seemed to have been notified in advance and had no intention of taking action.

One of the old Taoists nodded to Master Henglin and waved his hand. The Taoists made way for them and did not mean to stop them.

"Let's leave here first!"

Master Henglin said, nodded to several old Taoists, turned around and went down the mountain.

However, he did not walk on the mountain road with neat stone bricks, but went down the slope next to it. The slope was extremely steep, but Master Henglin walked up it as if it were flat ground.

"Master, why don't you take the right path? Where are you going?!" The little monk Jiekong shouted in confusion behind him.

"Go see how Dehong is doing," Master Henglin said without looking back: "If you go too late, the situation is not optimistic!"

Didn't Master Dehong run away? Why is it not optimistic? Could it be that he was attacked on the way? ... Young monk Jiekong was confused, and hurriedly carried the seriously injured Master Le Nan on his back and followed his master down the mountain.

Others had the same doubts, so they followed him.

After turning a corner, they saw the ground scorched by thunder and a large pit nearly two meters deep. The stones around the pit had been carbonized. It was conceivable how hot it had been.

"This... This is the direction where Master Dehong fled. There are such horrible traces of lightning. Did the high-level master of the Tianshi Mansion who knows thunder magic set an ambush here?" Someone said in disbelief.

"I'm afraid not. Look carefully. The ground is carbonized. How can ordinary thunder magic have such power? It must be the Five Thunders of the Tianshi!" Someone analyzed while looking at the pit.

"But the Heavenly Master was in the hall all the time and didn't make any move!"

"Always in the hall, but that doesn't mean he didn't make any move," a Buddhist monk said in a deep voice, "When Master Dehong disappeared from everyone's sight, the Heavenly Master's Qi surged for a moment. If I'm not mistaken, he made a move at that time!"

Another monk nodded and said, "He did make a move at that time, but the bells outside the hall rang loudly, covering up the thunder, so we didn't react immediately!"

Someone exclaimed, "Even though they are thousands of meters apart, they can still hurt people. The power of the complete Five Thunders Law is so strong that it makes people It's hard to imagine. It's worthy of being the heavenly means that has been passed down for thousands of years in the Tianshi Mansion! "

Someone said with a puzzled look: "If it can hurt people from a thousand meters away, it can also hurt people from a hundred meters away. But why did the Tianshi hesitate to take action and wait until Master Dehong disappeared from our sight? Is there any deep meaning in this?"

"Maybe he was too heavy-handed and didn't want us to see it..."

As the man said this, he found a broken palm on the scorched earth around the pit. The palm was extremely charred, and most of it had been carbonized. It had no flesh and blood. If it wasn't in the shape of a palm, it would almost be mistaken for charcoal.

When everyone saw this broken palm, they all exclaimed.

"Tianshi...he...boom...boom...killed...Master Dehong?" Someone said incoherently.

"If that's the case, then the problem is serious. I'm afraid that the world will not be peaceful in the future!"

As they spoke, everyone looked at Shaolin Master Henglin. A Buddhist monk was killed in public by the Heavenly Master. This was a big deal. There have always been conflicts between Buddhism and Taoism since ancient times. How could Buddhism tolerate such a thing? They would definitely seek revenge.

"Amitabha!" Master Henglin said, "Dehong did not die, but he was seriously injured. The most urgent thing is to find him first!"

Knowing that Master Dehong was not dead, everyone searched around and soon found the footprints left by Master Dehong when he staggered away.

The group followed the footprints, but when they reached the foot of the mountain, the footprints disappeared.

"The footprints suddenly disappeared, and there was no sign of Master Dehong around. Could it be that the master used some means to leave?" Someone speculated.

"Impossible, judging from those erratic footprints just now, Master Dehong's condition should be very bad, and it is unlikely that he left by some means, but people cannot disappear out of thin air, so it is likely that he was taken away by someone, or... kidnapped!" someone analyzed.

"If you say so, it is also possible that he was killed!" said one person.

"It is useless to say more, the most urgent thing is to find his whereabouts. I just counted with my fingers, and Master Dehong's life is fine, but his whereabouts are unknown. I wonder what Master Henglin thinks?" The monk of the Pure Land Sect pinched his fingers and said.

"Amitabha" Master Henglin chanted the Buddha's name and said with a serious face, "Of course, use your eyes to see!"

Everyone was speechless, thinking that the other party had said something nonsense, but then, Master Henglin's eyes burst into blue light, and he put his hands together, hooked his middle fingers with his ring fingers, and then put his big and small fingers together and stretched them straight, making the Guanyin finger shape, pointing forward.

Two blue lights burst out from his eyes, blooming with human figures and scenes, but they were very blurry and the specific pictures could not be seen clearly, but soon, these scenes became clear.

Until then, everyone understood that Master Henglin's use of eyes to see was actually the clairvoyance, which is one of the six supernatural powers of Buddhism, and the clairvoyance can see a lot of things.

From the burnt body of Master Dehong, stumbling over with his broken arm, to the final twisted air, a hand wrapped in a fishing net took him away, all the details were shown in front of everyone.

"Sure enough, he was taken away by someone, but I don't know what the origin of the person who took Master Dehong away is, is he an enemy or a friend?" someone said.

"This kind of fishnet-like outfit is rarely worn in Shenzhou, but it is very popular among the ninjas in Japan. The ninjas' methods are somewhat similar to those of the Tang Sect, and they also have methods similar to the phantom miasma. Could it be them who did it?" Someone who knows the business analyzed.

"But why did the ninjas in Japan take Master Dehong away? What do they intend to do? Kill him and then put the blame on the Tianshi Mansion, thus causing grievances between Buddhism and Taoism?" Someone asked in confusion.

"If they really want to put the blame on him, it would definitely be better to do it directly on the mountain than to kidnap him!"

"What's going on? They can't be here to save him!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

"It's unfounded. This kind of talk is not allowed. Besides, it's not known whether he was taken away by the ninjas. The specific situation will be known after investigation."

Master Henglin closed his eyes, put away his magical powers, and said lightly.

"How does Master Henglin want to investigate?"

"Tell Jianghu Inn first!"

…………

On the other side, in the main hall of the Great Shangqing Palace, the atmosphere was as heavy as water.

The strange people present all had gloomy faces, and some even cursed.

Zhang Huaiyi, Tian Jinzhong and others surrounded Zhang Zhiwei and did not let him tell what happened just now.

Because everyone just got a message that the old man of the Wang family in the four families passed away.

The old man was the former head of the Wang family, and his age was the same as that of the old man of the Lu family. In terms of means, the old man Wang was not good, and he could not compare with the old man Lu who practiced Ruyi Jin to perfection, nor could he compare with the old man of the Lu family who was a disciple of a big sect.

But he was very smart in terms of human relations. Many sects in the Jianghu had received his favor, so they were also happy to give the Wang family a face.

But two days ago, the old man of the Wang family investigated the whereabouts of Yuan Jingui, the all-powerful demon who slandered Zhang Zhiwei's reputation, and took people there to capture him and bring him to Longhu Mountain to solve Zhang Zhiwei's urgent problem, but he encountered an unexpected event.

Also encountered were an old man from the Lu family and several good players from the Wang family. The severity of this incident was quite high and the impact was quite large.

When Zhang Zhiwei learned that the old man died because of him, his heart was deeply touched.

Speaking of which, he and the old man of the Wang family did not have many interactions. He only had a brief exchange with him when he went to Liaodong.

At that time, the old man said that as long as he helped him take good care of his precious grandson, the Wang family would owe him a favor in the future. If he asked for something, he would do his best to do it even if he risked his life.

Now, his words have come true. Although he did not ask the old man to do anything, the other party died to help him. He could not ignore this matter emotionally and rationally.

He looked at the scene, wanting to know what was going on. Not only him, but also Tianshi, Zuomenzhang, and other older generation people were paying attention to the details of the incident.

"I know that Quanxing demon Yuan Jingui, he just likes to gossip, but his methods are ordinary. How did he harm the old man?" Zuomenzhang asked.

The head of the Wang family slumped on the ground, his face full of grief, and said in a trembling voice: "It's not just Yuan Jingui. According to the news from the front, they encountered Quanxing demon Wu Man during the pursuit."

Quanxing demon Wu Man, Mo Ming Jushi... Zhang Zhiwei's eyes flickered. When the Wudang sect leader realized the truth before, he also thought of this person. In the plot, with the help of Wu Gensheng, he achieved the state of emptiness of the five aggregates.

And this state, in Buddhism, is called the Arhat fruit position, which is quite extraordinary. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the top few beings of this era. If the old man was killed by him, it would not be surprising.

"Is it the inexplicable layman Wu Man who came from the Three Treatises School of Buddhism but returned to secular life three times and became a monk three times?" The left door chief frowned. He also had an impression of this person.

The head of the Wang family had red eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, it's him. He is a madman. According to the news sent back by the experiencer, this person claims to be aware of the suffering of the people in the wooden house area of ​​Mindu City and wants to save them and help them through the sea of ​​suffering in the world."

"He created a huge illusion in the wooden house area, so that the residents were trapped in the illusion, and made a good dream for them, so that they died slowly in the illusion like a frog boiled in warm water."

Everyone was horrified when they heard this. What a crazy idea. What is the difference between this and murder for money?

"What's next?" The left door chief frowned.

The head of the Wang family continued, "After my father knew about this, he communicated with him about Buddhism, hoping to wake him up and make him give up this idea, but he failed. Under the instigation of Yuan Jingui, a big battle broke out."

"An old man from the Lu family was ambushed and died first. My father was the only one left, holding back the madman named Wu Man. After receiving support, the two sides fought a big battle in the wooden house area."

"In the end, Wu Man's conspiracy did not succeed. The people in the wooden house area were rescued and broke free from the illusion, but my father died after the incident due to excessive consumption and serious injuries."

The head of the Wang family was telling the story, but tears were already all over his face.

Among the four families, the Wang family had the most harmonious family relationship. He had been deeply loved by his father since he was a child. Even though he is now in his 50s, he is still the little baby in his father's eyes.

But now, the person who called him little baby is dead. He instantly felt like the sky was falling. When his parents were alive, his life still had a place to go. When his parents were gone, his life only had a way back.

Sadness enveloped the head of the Wang family like a torrent. His face was grim and he gnashed his teeth and said:

"Wu Man, the evil demon of Quan Xing, my Wang family wants you to pay with blood."

Looking at the almost crazy and seriously out of control head of the Wang family, everyone was silent. Only Zhang Zhiwei took a step forward, walked in front of the head of the Wang family, pulled up the head of the Wang family who was slumped on the ground, and put him on the chair next to him.

"Then what about Wu Man and Yuan Jingui in the end?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

The head of the Wang family was overwhelmed by sadness and burst into tears. He could no longer answer.

The head of the Lu family next to him said: "The old man held Wu Man back and waited for the arrival of reinforcements to start the encirclement and suppression. Wu Man was outnumbered and detonated the illusion in a hurry, causing those innocent people to be disturbed by the illusion and triggering a riot."

"In order to avoid a large number of innocent people being injured, our people were very restrained when they took action, so they let him and Yuan Jingui escape in the chaos. This is all the news we know. The specific details will be known after the experiencers of this incident come back."

Speaking of this, the head of the Lu family also looked sad. The Lu and Wang families have always had a close relationship. He naturally has a special relationship with the old man Wang. Moreover, one of his uncles also died in this incident.

"In other words, these two people escaped?" Zhang Zhiwei said softly, without any expression on his face.
