Lord of Time!

Chapter 253 The pure land is bright, and the king of Ming Guangdu
"Seventh Brother, the entire Tianmen Pass has been sealed off. We are searching everywhere with shadow figures. As expected, we have captured thirteen direct descendants of the Situ family."

Ji Mingyue has strong mobility.

Once Chen Ping became suspicious, he remembered that when he was exploring Yingzui Cliff, he heard that Ji Xuantong, the crown prince of Dali, had mentioned the name "Situ Hao" to his cronies. He immediately preferred to believe that it was true rather than that it was not true, and ordered a strict investigation. Tianmenguan City, see if there is any trace of the Situ family in the city.

"According to Tianxin Pavilion's information, since the [Battle of Blocking the River], all members of the direct lineage of the Situ family have disappeared without a trace, and all the properties under their name have been abandoned. It seems that they left in a hurry.

Even with the information from Tianxin Pavilion, they could not pinpoint their whereabouts, but unexpectedly, they found traces here at Tianmen Pass. "

Ji Mingyue looked at Chen Ping with great admiration.

In her opinion, although Seventh Brother is not too busy on weekdays and spends most of his time practicing, occasionally proposing some governance strategies, he is extremely clever.

The most powerful thing is that he can often hit the nail on the head when looking at things.

Just like this time, assassinations occurred one after another in various prefectures and counties, from Jiangdong to Jiangnan, killing people in panic...

That's all. The most important thing is that after being assassinated, those people are often ruined and blamed.

The official's death was a well-deserved death, and it would involve his family, relatives and friends. This was a bit too scary.

If this unhealthy trend is not stopped, the fire will burn directly to Chen Ping.

When public dissatisfaction boils over, there must be a place to vent.

The people of hundreds of cities started to clamor, aiming directly at King Ping.

The reason is very simple.

Under King Ping's rule, there were so many scoundrels. Hundreds of officials committed crimes and oppressed the people. It would be unjustifiable to say that he did not know about it. It was nothing more than officials... protecting each other.

Driven by thoughtful people, this public opinion, like a gentle ripple in the ocean, gradually set off huge waves.

As a result, the New Deal that Chen Ping spent a lot of effort to promote almost collapsed.

His vision of peace has been questioned. In some places, people have gone too far and even raised rebellion.

Therefore, this wave of attacks seems to only focus on details and rush to dig up the foundation of one's own power. It can be said to be very vicious.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Fengyun Pavilion assassins, as well as the two "Deer Cutting Knife" and "Renyi Sword" who were brought to light, are the culprits, but those who truly see the mystery will know that Fengyun alone Ge, there is no way he could pull off this plan of "killing people, destroying people's hearts, and bringing chaos to the world".

At least, in terms of intelligence, Fengyun Pavilion cannot be fully aware of everything.

If an assassin... organization could reach this level of intelligence, wouldn't it put everyone at all levels of the world in danger, as well as the dynasty?

"I have always felt that the Situ family claims to "count all the people", but no one thinks that they are boasting about Haikou. No one even thinks that this family is in any danger. This is too much."

Chen Ping shook his head and smiled.

In his opinion, if he were in power and had such an awesome family under his control, he would not even dare to sleep too hard.

People are "counting all the people", no secrets or ideas can deceive them.

Even if you are selfless and generous, not only will your secrets be exposed, but your personal whereabouts will always be under the other party's calculations. This is too unsafe.

This kind of family has not been directly eradicated.

It is also enough.

So, the only explanation is.

Whether it was the Dali Dynasty or the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there was nothing they could do against the Situ family.

The Situ family itself is just a cover, and the power behind it is actually very strong.

"Isn't the omniscient style of [Counting the Common People] and [Feng Yun Bang] very similar? I have never thought about it carefully in the past, and I just thought it was ordinary. But when I really think about it, I feel that everything is abnormal."

"How can junior brother conclude that the mastermind behind the Fengyun List, or a child of the Situ family, will appear at Tianmen Pass?"

Han Xiaoru has long been itchy. She doesn't like to use her brain. What she loves most in her life is to be straightforward.

However, I was extremely afraid that someone would betray me.

I feel itchy in my heart after hearing this, but I don't get the answer. I feel anxious to death.

"This is even simpler. Think about it, Xiaoru. If you make such a big move and have everyone under your control, when the plan is completed, will you take a closer look?"

"Of course I will. If things go wrong, I have to take action personally and complete the plan directly." Han Xiaoru replied without thinking.

"Look, if you are like this, then the mastermind behind the scenes will be like this too."

Chen Ping looked determined, "Without receiving any news of rebellion, that person must be very anxious. This is why we cannot kill him easily."

The man in golden clothes in the Divine Martial Realm, who is suspected to be the master of Fengyun Pavilion, is still pretending to be dead at this time.

Chen Ping simply ignored him.

Just break up his cultivation and control it.

In the battle at Yingzui Cliff, Prince Dali Ji Xuandong and others were completely wiped out, and no one escaped to report the news.

This creates a big time difference.

Before the other party could react, Chen Ping had already ordered the Tianmen Pass to be sealed off, and a large number of Tianxin Pavilion personnel were dispatched. He also invited the three elders of the Qingwei Sect and their disciples to take action together. By calculating deliberately and unintentionally, he got the upper hand.

"Close the Internet cafe. This time, I want to see what kind of person he is who dares to stir up troubles?"

"Tianxin Pavilion's five hundred elites have rushed to Kuzhu Ridge in the western suburbs and surrounded Lingming Temple."

Ji Mingyue looked excited.

During this period of time, they battled wits and courage with each other, from Jiangdong to Jiangnan. It can be said that both sides suffered heavy losses...

The most uncomfortable thing is that the people fighting back and forth are just fighting each other's men, and the real mastermind behind the scenes can't even be seen, which is really depressing.

This made her somewhat doubt her ability.

Now that she found the culprit, she felt quite proud.

"Ten thousand cavalry have sealed off Guancheng. This time, it's hard to keep them safe."

Han Xiaoru is a ruthless person and doesn't speak much.

She had done this kind of thing once before, sealing off Shenxiao Mountain in Fenggu City, and she was quite familiar with it.

If she were a master in the divine martial realm, she would naturally have no choice.

But as long as she is powerful and has an army by her side, she will not be afraid.

"This time, I'd like to thank you all, elders."

Chen Ping cupped his hands and looked at the three men and women in Taoist attire beside him.

The middle-aged Taoist nun standing on the right is of course none other than Ran Qiuye, the real person of Qiuye, and the mother of the little princess Ji Mingyue. This person is not an outsider. Since meeting, she has looked at Chen Ping with a smile from time to time, as if Can't get enough of it.

Even though Chen Ping was a man of two generations, he was very thick-skinned, and this aunt gave him goosebumps all over his body.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, this person actually went to Qingwei Sect's territory to stir up trouble and set traps for evil purposes. No matter what, we can't let him go. Senior Uncle Chongshan and Senior Brother Changfeng, don't you think so?"

Now that you've finished talking, what else can we do?

Master Chongshan and Master Changfeng had a wry smile on their faces, and they hurriedly saluted and said with a smile: "Of course, if the head brother is not sitting at the mountain gate, presiding over the formations, and guarding against Northern Zhou sneak attacks, he will definitely go down the mountain and obey the orders."

This is just a matter of listening.

Chen Ping knew that the leader of the Qingwei Sword Sect, Qingyun Zhenren, was actually in some aspects similar to the original situation of Sun Yun, the leader of the Hunyuan Sect.

He dared not move.

When the Northern Zhou Dynasty invaded and attacked Tianmen Pass, the Qing Weizong was actually on the verge of extinction.

the reason is simple.

Near Tianmen Mountain, Tianmenguan City, and hundreds of miles away from Yangcheng and Wenyuan, all the people are facing the barbarians' swords. No matter how hard Qingwei Mountain doesn't want to move, it has to be moved.

Because, not to mention all of their disciples, [-]% to [-]% were born within these three cities.

to be honest.

Most of the family members of these two thousand disciples live in the cities and countryside.

In this case, guarding Tianmen Pass is not for Dali, but for one's own family.

King Jinghai can ignore it, King Zhenwu can ignore it, but Qingwei Mountain cannot ignore it.

Such as Qiuye Zhenren and Changfeng Zhenren, they are always stationed at Tianmen and cannot stay away for a moment. This is the reason.

In this case, it is not that the masters of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had never considered Qingwei Mountain.

The best way, of course, is to behead the leader and elders of Qingwei Mountain.

This has to mention the cultivation level of Master Qingyun, the leader of Qingwei. Somewhat similar to the Hunyuan Sword Sect, the founder of Qingwei has passed away long ago, and none of the remaining disciples, including the leader, has broken through to the divine martial realm.

Even in the Unity Realm, there are only three people.

He cannot stand up to one of the four sects of the Taoist sect at all.

However, it is better than Hunyuan Sect. When Qingwei Sect's Qinghe Patriarch died, he left behind a "Qingwei Sword" and a Fanlu Qingfeng Sword Formation, which can reach greater realms in a short period of time. Injure the enemy.

Even if enemies in the Divine Martial Realm attack the mountain, there is no guarantee that they will survive under the attack of formations and spiritual swords.

This is the hole card.

Only when you stand firm can you have output.

Therefore, the disciples of the Qingwei sect went down the mountain in large numbers to defend their homeland, so they no longer had any worries.

There are also disadvantages.

That is, Master Qingyun, the leader, was tied to death on the mountain and did not dare to move.It is worth mentioning that because Chen Ping came to the vicinity of Tianmen Pass this time, Qingwei Mountain paid great attention to it.

Not only were Changfeng and Qiuye sent, but one of the only three unity realm elders on the mountain, Zhongshan Zhenren, was also sent down the mountain to assist, waiting for dispatch. The support was not small.

Even if there is no relationship with Ji Mingyue.

Chen Ping actually has a good impression of this Taoist sect that has been fighting on the front line and suffered heavy casualties in bloody battles.

Therefore, he did not refuse the other party's good intentions, but used the role of local snakes of the Qingwei Sect to search for the Situ family and others, and finally locked the Lingming Temple in the western suburbs.

Master Chongshan was mature and prudent, and after thinking for a while, he still said: "Lingming Temple belongs to the Pure Land Sect of the three sects of Buddhism. It has always been independent of the world and remains neutral against the struggles in the world.

I heard that his presiding officer, Zen Master Ming Jing, was of high moral and esteem, and that countless people in the Tianmen Mountain area had benefited from him. I don’t know..."

"Yes, this person has a great reputation. Last time when the Northern Zhou Hu cavalry broke through Tianmen Pass and caused a bloody massacre, this person came forward and saved hundreds of thousands of people."

Ran Qiuye also showed slight hesitation.

As for the neighbors who are close by, they naturally know the abbot of Lingming Temple quite well. They have even visited him on weekdays when things were fine.

I somewhat admired the old monk's conduct.

"Pure Land Sect?"

Chen Ping recalled an incident in the past. When he was protecting Princess Ji Mingyue and escaping deep into the mountains, he met Yuan Ping, an abandoned disciple of the Pure Land Sect. That man worshiped the Thirteenth Prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and worked for him. .

Of course, they are all abandoned disciples, and there is nothing to say. The Pure Land Sect cannot be blamed.

But Chen Ping always felt that a sect with such a good reputation, living in troubled times and not caring about worldly affairs, would inevitably be a little weird.

"How is this Zen Master Mingjing's cultivation?"

"I have never heard that he has practiced martial arts. He is a master of Buddhism. I heard that his health is not very good and his meridians are congenitally blocked. But Guangdu Zen Master, the first of Luohan Hall in Lingming Temple, is an extremely powerful master and is listed in Tianya Ci. "

That's how I understand it.

The "Tianbang Tianbang" is a Tianya Ci that is only circulated among the top forces in the world.

"The lonely sail is far away at the end of the world, and the dawn breeze carries the fragrance of orchids."

Master Dulan, represented by the word "lan", has long since passed away and was killed by Chen Ping himself.

The Dawn Sword represented by the word "xiao" died in the hands of Han Xiaoru's Zixiao Thunder Talisman, while the wind-cutting knife represented by the word "wind" died in the hands of Ji Mingyue's newly learned cross-border killing move sword control.

These two people were obviously much stronger than Han Xiaoru and Ji Mingyue, but they died at the hands of two juniors. There was nothing to be wronged about.

It can only be said that the two girls do not have martial ethics.

Victory is not military.

They actually used magical means in unison.

However, the world is like this. You can never underestimate anyone, especially the old people, children and women you encounter in the battlefield of life and death.

Such people are either very weak or very strong.

Coincidentally, the Dawn Sword and the Wind-Slashing Sword encountered the latter.

Chen Ping sometimes feels that things in the world are strange.

Some people will never meet one of the experts on this day's list.

And I, within a short period of time, will see the fourth person.

At this time, he became more and more certain that Lingming Temple was probably weird. No matter which aspect you looked at, you could see that this small temple from the Pure Land Sect was extremely extraordinary.

However, the golden-robed Shenwu was clearly from the Emperor's Palace, the Nine Palaces of Suppressing Demons, but why was he related to the Pure Land Sect, the three sects of Buddhism?
"kill!"

As soon as Chen Ping led everyone near Lingming Temple, he heard a loud shout.

"You are recklessly killing our monks and monks, and are doing the opposite. How are you any different from jackals?"

This man was nine feet tall, with a bald head and curly beard, and his roar was like thunder, which made Guancheng tremble.

The more than [-] people who stayed there couldn't bear to hear it.

"Monk Guangdu..."

As soon as Zhongshan Master saw this person, his expression changed drastically.

He was still hesitant in his heart, and he didn't really believe that Lingming Temple, who was born in the Pure Land Sect, would get involved in the world's struggle for dragons for no reason and get involved with the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

At this time, he saw Guangdu leading hundreds of monk soldiers to madly attack the masters of Tianxin Pavilion and break into the Hunyuan Iron Cavalry. He still didn't understand that the other party was not only involved, but also actively begged for death before dying. Previously, a big blame was placed on Chen Ping.

really.

The light on the tall monk's body was even brighter, as if King Ming had come to the world. While waving the demon-conquering pestle in his hand, he shouted loudly: "Prince Ping kills innocent people indiscriminately for fame and reputation. If you die today, you will die. I have mercy on the people of the world. I, the Buddha, are merciful..."

Amidst the shouting, the more than [-] people in Guancheng all looked slightly unbearable.

Some people even made loud noises.

"The eminent monk of Lingming Temple is compassionate, so why would he want to kill them?"

"It is said that King Ping loves his people like his own children. Could it be that this is really a lie..."

"If this is not the case, where did the evil officials and thieves reported these days come from? It must be groundless, and there must be no reason. Who can tell the difference between black and white in this world?"

"Isn't it possible that even Zen Master Ming Jing was killed?"

A wave of panic and anger swept through Guancheng like a strong wind. Amidst the shouts of killing, tens of thousands of people began to follow suit.

Even the troops guarding the pass were slightly unsteady, and they could only hear the leading generals shouting harshly.

"The deceptive Sanskrit sounds should be damned."

The first was Ji Mingyue, who couldn't bear it anymore.

She particularly disliked people using despicable means to confuse people's minds, especially when they were cloaked in an upright guise and put a shit basin on the head of her seventh brother.

Of course, the Tianxin Pavilion personnel under my command suffered heavy casualties at this moment.

The peak master of the Tianbang Union Realm has even practiced the body-training technique of King Ming's Real Body. As he waved a treasured pestle, overlapping qi energy bombarded forward like a mountain collapsing.

If you wave it at will, it will be a bloody storm.

But when this person took action, within a radius of tens of feet, there were lotus flowers, shining brightly, and a Buddha's precious aura.

It seemed like no one could believe he was a bad guy.

This is a bit of a pitfall.

Ji Mingyue just shouted, opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of heart essence and blood, her face turned slightly pale.

As her body soared into the sky, and a bright moon rose, there was already a stream of light that exceeded everyone's spiritual perception and had already pierced the realm of Buddha's light and the true body of King Ming.

hum...

Only then did the sound of wind and thunder sound.

The Mingyue Sword revealed its true form. It had already broken through the bones and flesh, and was stuck in Monk Guangdu's chest. It was only three points away from piercing the heart.

There was a golden light on his body, but he was laughing wildly.

"Your sword control skills are still a little short of the mark. If you want to kill a poor monk, you can do it in the next life."

As he spoke, Monk Guangdu twisted his body and waved the magic pestle with his hand, and a heavy and muffled whistle sounded in everyone's ears.

The rumble turned into a sharp golden light and struck in front of Ji Mingyue.

The most powerful thing was that Monk Guangdu used his pestle to smash the void into pieces like lotus. The surrounding air was bound and blocked, as if he was going to smash the space together with Ji Mingyue.

"It's useless. No matter how much you attract attention, Zen Master Mingjing can't escape."

Just as the Demon-Conquering Treasure Pestle was about to hit Ji Mingyue, a person appeared in mid-air.

White clothes, jade crown, long eyebrows and handsome eyes.

It was Chen Ping.

He stood in mid-air, his clothes fluttering. He stretched out his hand and caught the magic-conquering pestle that shone with golden light.

The huge force like a landslide and tsunami seemed to disappear without a trace. The golden pestle was gently held in his hand, and with a shake of one hand, it turned into gold powder and scattered.

"But you can't see the moment he was captured."

Chen Ping shouted softly, made a spell with his hand, pointed forward, and a magnificent purple thunder column fell down like a waterfall.

"I'm not convinced..."

A trace of desperation flashed in the burly monk's eyes, and he shouted in a hissing voice. He only yelled half a word before being drowned out by lightning.

boom……

Lightning flashed.

Everyone's eyes stayed purple for a while, until their vision returned to normal.

He saw that the tall and burly monk was no longer there.

Only a handful of charred ashes remained, proving that this famous Zen Master Guangdu once existed.
