Chapter 654: The Little Heavenly Master Always Wins People over with His Virtue
Zhang Zhiwei stood on the altar with his feet on the nine-headed lion. His tall figure was like a god reaching the sky, looking down from a high position.
The head of the Wang family and the head of the Lu family came towards him, standing on his left and right.
After Tang Bingwen, the head of the Tang family, greeted Zhang Zhiwei, he did not make any other moves.
After he killed the Virtuous Mage, he had already repaid the favor of the Little Heavenly Master.
Next, no matter what situation Zhang Zhiwei encountered, he would not take action again, and he would not be able to launch the same attack as before.
He was different from his senior brother Tang Jiaren. Tang Jiaren's Danxi reserves were hundreds of pills, while he, although far away, had only three pills. He had already used two just now, and he would use the last one for self-protection.
Danxi was different from other means. It was a combination of his own spirit and external poison to produce Qi poison, which required a refining process, just like a poisonous snake producing toxins.
This time was not long, but he did not want to have this vacuum period.
Therefore, after expressing his support for Zhang Zhiwei, Tang Bingwen did not approach like the head of the Wang family and the head of the Lu family.
He stood on the edge of the pagoda like a lone wolf, and looked at the people present with a single eye.
The single eye was not focused, and the eyeball was even a little turbid and dull, but no one dared to underestimate him. The tragic scene of Master Dexing's death was still vivid in their minds.
The most important thing was that they did not see how the head of the Tang family attacked, nor did they see how Master Dexing was hit. They only saw the miserable appearance of Master Dexing when he was dying.
Fear comes from the unknown. They are afraid that this cold-blooded assassin will suddenly attack them.
Even the abbot Master Ku Rong is the same, so even if Dexing died in front of him, he did not act rashly.
However, although he was a little afraid in his heart, he was not afraid.
Unknown assassins are the most terrifying. Since they have appeared, they just need to be distracted and guard against them.
In fact, the Tang Sect leader had a great chance to kill Ku Rong just now.
However, due to two considerations, he kept "half of his hand", which gave Ku Rong a chance to escape.
First, he didn't want to steal the show. Ku Rong was the abbot of Tiantai Sect. If he killed him, the Buddhist sect would definitely cause trouble for the Tang Sect. This time he came to repay his favor, not to make enemies. Ku Rong should be left to the young Taoist priest to deal with.
Second, Master Dexing was going to sneak attack the young Taoist priest with a legendary hidden weapon, so it would be safer for him to attack Dexing first.
At this moment, he stood there quietly, with no intention of attacking at all, just wanting to watch the show, but inexplicably made people feel covetous and thorny.
At the same time, around Zhang Zhiwei's platform, Lu Jin, Lu Ci, Wu Chengzhen, Feng Ping, Lin Zifeng and other young leaders gathered towards him.
Among these elites, except for a few masters like Wu Chengzhen who are of the same generation and very old, most of them have not grown up yet, and their strength is still far behind that of the older generation, but no one dares to ignore them.
Because everyone present can see that these young elites from various sects are the hope of the next generation of the sects. They dare to wade into this muddy water, which means that their elders are nearby and can intervene at any time.
On the dark mountain peak.
Zuo Ruotong looked into the distance and murmured, "I really didn't expect that the head of the Tang Sect would come here in person."
Zhang Jingqing said, "Although I don't have a deep relationship with the head of the Tang Sect, he is a very courageous person."
"These little guys have gone up the mountain, Tianshi, do you think the old guys behind will follow?" Zuo Ruotong asked again.
Zhang Jingqing pondered for a moment, glanced at the black-faced old monk Kuhua in Zhang Zhiwei's hand, and said: "Since all the fellow martial artists have come to support this place, why don't you show up?"
Zuo Ruotong has high morals and he is not stupid, so it is impossible for him not to understand the meaning of Zhang Jingqing's words.
If the two sides are evenly matched or at a disadvantage, most of these people will just stand by and watch like them.
But now, Zhang Zhiwei has flattened the main hall and captured the old monk of Tiantai Sect with a very high seniority. Other monks have also retreated to both sides out of fear, hesitating whether to take action.
No matter how you look at this scene, Zhang Zhiwei has the upper hand. How can these meticulous and shady old guys not bet on the advantaged side?
In this way, the monks of other sects who were originally wavering will probably make a choice immediately, which is equivalent to them earning both face and money without any risk.
Of course, these people can do this, but Zuo Menchang and Tianshi can't.
The two of them have a high status in the martial arts world, but they are also shackled by this status. They have too many concerns and cannot do some things too decisively.
And once they cannot cut the Gordian knot quickly, it will be troublesome.
Zhang Zhiwei is different. This kid can't reason with reason. Moreover, even if those monks want to cry, they have to be willing to lose face to cry to a young boy.
Sure enough, then the group of elders of the younger generation appeared on the scene, one by one at the Dharma Assembly.
They were faster than the group of younger generations and actually arrived earlier.
However, they did not appear immediately, but observed secretly.
Seeing that Zhang Zhiwei's situation was already established, they appeared under the banner of helping the little master.
Zhang Zhiwei naturally knew the little thoughts of these people, but he didn't say anything. Being able to come was giving him face, so how could he ask for too much.
For those who reported their names, Zhang Zhiwei bowed one by one without any grudges.
The monks around saw these elders appear and discussed in a low voice:
"That is Liu Bao, the junior brother of Liuyun Sword Sect Leader. This man has extremely high swordsmanship. He can kill people by cutting them off at the waist or splitting their heads in half. His methods are cruel. He is hunted down by many masters of all abilities. In recent years, he has rarely traveled around the world. I didn’t expect him to come.”
"Not only him, but also Master Hu Tu, the head of the Shuzi Sect, is here. This guy who is seeking fame must have taken a fancy to the miraculous Qimen Dunjia method in the hands of the Little Heavenly Master. "
"It's possible. There are quite a few sects coming down now. If we go up against them, it's basically like going against the entire world. Now that the matter has come to this point, only the Tiantai Sect can solve it alone."
"This is how it should be. We are here to participate in the Water and Land Dharma Ceremony. We should not get involved in these grudges. We can just watch them, as long as they don't go too far."
The monks from other sects who were still hesitating suddenly made their own decisions.
Master Kurong sighed when he saw this scene. He held this water and land ceremony with the intention of dragging the entire Buddhism down. Unexpectedly, these guys were too cautious, and the whole situation ended up falling on him.
He stared at Zhang Zhiwei, but out of the corner of his eye he glanced at the Tang clan leader. The powerful enemy was in front, and the assassin was behind. He did not act rashly, waiting for Zhang Zhiwei to make a decision.
At the same time, all the monks from the Tiantai Sect gathered in front of the collapsed Main Hall, and they were all filled with indignation.
The main palace was collapsed, the master was captured and trampled on the soles of his feet, several uncles were slapped unconscious, and the leader was even plotted to death. When did the Tiantai Sect suffer such humiliation?
"This calf's nose is too deceiving. If we fight with them, can they still kill us all?"
"That's right. I don't believe it. They dare to kill us all in front of so many Buddhist masters."
…
Zhang Zhiwei didn't care about the words of the monks, and he didn't even feel the slightest fluctuation in his heart. Whether or not to kill, and how many people to kill, all depended on his decision.
However, just because he doesn't care doesn't mean that the elders around him don't care.
"Little Heavenly Master, I wonder how you plan to deal with it? What kind of justice do you want?" Liu Bao of Liuyun Sword asked.
For this so-called justice, Zhang Zhiwei demolished the Main Hall, seriously injured and killed a group of monks who attacked him, and killed the first monk of the temple.
Even though he was a decisive swordsman, he still felt that it was enough. He couldn't kill all these monks. If so, it would not be fair, but overbearing.
"I just want the Tiantai Sect to regain its consciousness." Zhang Zhiwei said lightly.
"What do you mean?" Liu Bao was confused.
At this time, Master Hu Tu said: "Brother Liu, don't be anxious. We just follow Little Heavenly Master's arrangements. If Tiantai Zongzhen colludes too deeply with the Japanese pirates and there is no cure, what if we kill them all?"
As he spoke, his face turned stern: "This kind of collusion with Japanese pirates and eating everything inside and outside, I would rather kill the wrong one than let him go!"
Hu Tu was a ruthless man. He could even kill relatives for justice, let alone kill monks.
Zhang Zhiwei glanced at Hu Tu and said with a smile: "Master Hu Tu is joking. You and I are both righteous people, how can we kill innocent people indiscriminately?"
"How will the little heavenly master decide?" Hu Tu asked quickly.
"Get the most authentic answer from their souls." Zhang Zhiwei said.
"Is the little heavenly master planning to enter a dream to find the truth, or is he going to read the memory by being possessed by a ghost?" Hu Tu asked.
This is a very useful way to obtain secrets in the world, but the disadvantage is that it is too troublesome.
Just as Zhang Zhiwei was about to answer, the black-faced old monk Ku Hua at the foot of the nine-headed lion suddenly woke up. He was struggling. Just now, he fainted, as if his soul was being stripped away.
A person appeared in front of him. He couldn't see the person's appearance clearly. He only remembered that the person had a pair of big star-like eyes with golden flames burning inside, which made people feel suffocating.
The man took action against him and reached into his brain, as if he was searching for something, and his soul was about to be ripped out.
Desperate fear enveloped his head, and he woke up suddenly, only to find that he had been trampled under the feet of nine lions.
He began to struggle, but the meridians in his body were blocked and he had no luck, and the soles of his feet became tighter and tighter.
"Let go of Brother Kuhua."
"Whatever justice you want, I'll give it to you!"
From the ruins of the Main Hall, two old monks Ku Yuan and Ku Sheng emerged from the ground and spoke loudly.
The two men's cassocks were in pieces and they were in a very miserable state. There was fine blood seeping from the corners of their mouths. They were obviously seriously injured.
Zhang Zhiwei said: "Old monk, you have been in seclusion in the back mountain all year round to chant the Buddha's name and not care about worldly affairs. The sect has been infiltrated by Japanese pirates and has almost become a Japanese force. You don't even know it. Over the years, they have been setting fire to the rivers and lakes, causing disputes. They attacked and killed me a few days ago. The justice I want is very simple. Just clean up the house."
Hearing this, the black-faced old monk at his feet stopped.
The reason why Zhang Zhiwei said this was because he had just searched the soul of the black-faced old monk Ku Hua and found that the lives of these three old guys were extremely monotonous, and they had been practicing hard for decades.
They rarely care about the sect's affairs, and never go to Japan for exchanges. They spend half their lives fasting and chanting Buddha's name. Although they rarely do any good or righteous things, they are definitely good people.
Even when they left seclusion today, it was Kurong who deceived them.
Ku Rong said that the Taoist sect was powerful, and the Little Celestial Master Longhu colluded with the all-sex demon. Dehong, the abbot of the temple, went to seek justice, but one of his hands was broken, and then he was accused of unfounded charges and killed. Now the door is even more closed. Come, ask them to come out and help.
And what happened before, including the accusation of Monk Deyun against Ku Rong, was also seen by those in the Great Hall. They also understood that there was something wrong with the Tiantai Sect itself, but Zhang Zhiwei suddenly attacked the Great Hall, so they had to take action.
"How do you want me to clean up the sect?" asked the yellow-faced old monk Ku Yuan.
"There are problems with your host and the chief monk. If the source is not the abbot, it is impossible. You should clean up the abbot first!" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile.
The two old monks were silent immediately. This request was too much, no less than asking Zhang Yi and Yi Qian to clean up the Heavenly Master Zhang Jingqing.
"You are so arrogant and boastful!" Ku Rong looked at Ku Yuan and Ku Sheng, "You two junior brothers will not believe what this lunatic said, will you?"
Ku Yuan looked at Zhang Zhiwei: "You said that Dehong and Dexing have problems, and you also said that Senior Brother Ku Rong has problems, do you have any evidence?"
"Master Dehong has problems, I can testify to this."
Liu Wei from Jianghu Inn stood up and said: "He teamed up with the Japanese pirates to attack and kill the little master, which was witnessed by many parties. I even have a complete file here. As for Master Dexing, I don't know."
Ku Rong saw this and was about to quibble, but Zhang Zhiwei's figure flew through the sky like a white rainbow and rushed straight in front of him.
The monks were immediately shocked and were about to respond, but they saw that Zhang Zhiwei only made a feint and did not have much contact with them, and then returned to the back of the nine-headed lion, but there was an extra corpse in his hand, which was the corpse of Master Dexing.
Everyone was puzzled as to what Zhang Zhiwei was going to do.
He stretched out his hand and touched the corpse. He used the blue hand to absorb the remaining spirituality in the body of Master Dexing and read some memories.
Master Dexing had just died, and there were still many memories left. He used a little trick to guide and release these memories. This was not difficult for him who mastered the blue hand.
"Didn't you tell me before why Monk Deyun suddenly changed sides? Because I have the ability to read memories from souls and spirits. I threw some memories of Master Dehong to him and let him know the reality."
Zhang Zhiwei said: "Now I will show you the memories of the remaining spirituality in the body of Master Dexing. Look at the evidence you want."
A blue light shot out from the top of Master Dexing's head, blooming a movie-like scene.
These images began to move, and Ku Rong's face changed. The monks are best at debates, and they are talking about them.
If there is no substantial evidence, everything is easy to say, and everything can be rounded up, and it is even possible to turn the tables.
But the spirit in the corpse cannot be faked. If these contents are released, there will be no way to defend it.
He moved his body, holding a Zen stick, and turned into a golden light to attack Zhang Zhiwei.
"How dare you, a bold lunatic, to destroy my disciple's corpse?"
"I always do things with virtue. If you want evidence, I will give it to you. I originally wanted to speak with facts..."
Zhang Zhiwei grinned: "Since you don't want to be decent, then I will help you be decent!"
