Moon Emperor

Chapter 221 The Shadow of Luoyang

Watching Lian Yue leave, Su Yan turned to think about another thing: the mirror grinder.

During this period of time, he had asked the Buddhist staff to investigate this person, but there was no clue.

In other words, the huge Luoyang is not without mirror grinders, nor is it without Taoist priests' attire, but there is no one whose characteristics can completely match the one Su Yan has seen.

Since the last time I saw him in the Phoenix Tower, Su Yan had a premonition that maybe he had met an expert who really played with the world of mortals.

It wasn't his own pretense; nor was it like the old beggar back then, who was just a cut-out paper man.

Su Yan was a bit puzzled. When he first met Taoist Mo Jing, he was very interested in his craftsmanship and wanted to learn from him, but the other party refused because he was "not a fellow traveler".

If a Taoist priest is really a person of extraordinary cultivation, perhaps in his opinion, teaching people a craft is similar to accepting apprentices, so naturally he would not accept apprentices so easily.

But the question is, why did the other party chase Luoyang again?
Could it be that he hadn't noticed something special about Su Yan before, and he hurried over after hearing those rumors?
Or Su Yan pretended to be affectionate, and he was not chasing him at all, but just needed to come to Luoyang for something, and happened to meet him again.

The latter guess seems more reasonable, but in this case, another question arises:
Why did Priest Mo Jing want to let Su Yan know that he had been here?
With his elusive whereabouts, it should be easy to observe silently, right?

Unable to figure it out, Su Yan still felt that if there was a chance, it would be better to meet this person again and have a detailed talk.

In the past half month, Luoyang seemed to be calm at first glance, but under the surface of the water, there was a turbulent undercurrent.

The members of the Li family in Zhaojun were fully prepared and were very nervous, waiting for Su Yan to come to the door.

According to Su Yan's attitude, they made two sets of countermeasures:

If the other party uses violence, they will turn against the customer and trap the other party in an unjust place. The Li family is even ready to sacrifice some people;

If the other party asks nicely, then it will be hypocritical and misleading, and will give the other party some prepared "clues", and step by step induce him to conflict with Qi Longhuang's family.

But what made the Li family feel very depressed was that the master had not come for a long time, and he didn't even make a step out of the temple.

This made them fearful every day, as if they were waiting for an execution with an uncertain time, and this waiting was even more painful than the official execution.

Moreover, some things happened one after another in the past half month, which seemed to be a coincidence, but it made the Patriarch of the Li family deeply disturbed.

Still in the secret room in the study, Li Chengen frowned, and reported to the mysterious black-robed man sitting at the head seat: "Youzhou, Bianzhou, Xiangzhou, Yangzhou... There are reports from various places that the imperial court encircled and suppressed the White Lotus Sect. .”

"Furthermore, the people who took action this time were not just those trash from the local government; people from the Jinyiwei and the Six Doors were dispatched together, and their methods were quite ruthless, and they uprooted many strongholds of the sub-altar."

"The key personnel such as the altar master and the incense master were all shown to the public. The believers are not killed, but they are encouraged to report each other. All Bailian believers are included in the list."

Although I couldn't see the expression of the mysterious man, but seeing his fingers tapping on the table, we could see the anxiety in his heart.

He said in a hoarse voice: "It's not a coincidence. Qi Longhuang's subordinates don't seem to be so useless. They should have controlled a lot of important information about the White Lotus Sect over the years, but they just kept it secret."

"Until these days, they did it all in one go and didn't give us a chance to breathe."

"The most important question now is: Why did they choose this time point? Have they noticed our arrangement in Luoyang?"

"This..." Li Chengen thought about it for a while, and then said: "The choice of this time point may be based on Qi Longhuang's view. Su Yan enters the capital, and we are busy dealing with the reincarnation of this immortal, so we have no spare energy to support the branch altars in various places."

"As for Luoyang's arrangement, they probably haven't noticed it yet, otherwise they should give priority to attacking the dark ones here."

"After all, if Luoyang falls, even if all branches of the White Lotus Sect are wiped out, everything can be rebuilt after we gain power and you, Master, ascend the throne."

The mysterious man was noncommittal, but instead asked, "How are the casualties in the various sub-altars?"

Li Chengen's face was a bit ugly, "Ten to seven or eight, this time the vitality was seriously injured. Except for the main altar and a few sub-altars, most of the other sub-altars were completely destroyed."

The mysterious man clenched his right hand under the desk, and then slowly loosened it. He deliberately said in a calm tone: "The White Lotus Sect is only a part of our complete strength, don't panic."

"Yes." Li Chengen saluted respectfully.

Moreover, he is the head of the family, so he doesn't think highly of those White Lotus Sects who take the route of mobilizing the people at the bottom.

At this time, although I felt a little distressed because of the loss of everything, I finally thought that those guys were too useless, so they were sent straight to their lair.

"Order to let people from all walks of life outside the capital, including the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, stay away from the imperial court for the time being, and let them do it together after we give a signal."

"When can we launch a general attack?" Li Chengen's expression was a little eager.

He is really fed up with being used like a dog by the bitch, and he still doesn't feel trusted; especially after the last time he chased and killed the Su family under the guise of a will, but he suffered repeated blows.

The mysterious man shook his head, "In a short period of time, our policy of action is still to continue to lie dormant. The timing is not yet ripe, and the success rate of rashly launching is too low."

Although he had expected this answer, Li Chengen was still a little disappointed when he heard the master himself say it, "The people from Xinyumen, Bliss Cave, and the First Armed Forces have been staying in Luoyang to wait with us?"

The mysterious man nodded, "It takes a little patience to do such a big thing. They don't have it, and I believe you don't. We've been waiting for more than 20 years, and we don't care about it for a while."

Naturally, Li Chengen should be, and then he asked: "Then how should Su Yan deal with it?"

"Qi Longhuang really has no sense of shame. After learning that the boy from the Su family is the reincarnation of an immortal Buddha, she went out of the palace to flirt with him in person. It was still in public."

The mysterious man was also a little angry in a rare way, "It's really embarrassing for the Qi family!"

After he took a deep breath, he said slowly: "I never expected that with Qi Longhuang's tough character, she would actually lower herself and win Su Yan so much."

"If it weren't for the corroboration of multiple intelligence sources, I would almost think it was fake news."
