Immortality is above

Chapter 135 Chapter 134: Siege

Snowflakes were flying, making the roofs and streets white, adding a bit of brightness to the gloomy night.

In the teaching office, Chen Liubai was sitting in the hall, holding a book in his hand and reading it.

On the long wooden desk, there are many books stacked in stacks.

I have seen all of these.

He reads books very quickly, which can be said to be "ten lines in one glance", but he has his own reading method, which can filter out useless information and only read effective text content.

So at the end of the day, I read a lot of books and learned a lot about Gaohua City.

Books are a window to understand unfamiliar places, even in the world of spiritual practice.

This kind of knowledge is more reliable than hearsay.

In addition to books, there is also a strange black bird bronze lamp placed on the wooden table. The light is bright and not harmful to the eyes.

It is a strange bird with black and white feathers.

When this sound came, the people in the rooms with lights on seemed to be frightened, so they quickly blew out the lights, closed the doors, and fell silent.

They are very patient and not afraid of wind and snow.

"The reason why he was sent to Gaohua City to teach is because of the appointment from the Taoist court..."

……

When they heard such news, Liu Jiasheng and others finally felt relieved.

Immediately afterwards, at the west end of the street, there was a slight rustling sound, as if there were countless small insects crawling on the snow, and it also seemed to be crawling on people's hearts, giving rise to a shuddering feeling of panic;

After a while, a large shadow formed around the teaching office.

In such a cold night, people went to bed early, so most of the houses were dark and motionless.

"Chen Liubai has no background at all. He is just a swordsman who debuted halfway. By chance, he succeeded in transforming into a god and entered the Tao..."

Listening to the sound of falling snow and reading a book, I felt a rare peaceful mood.

At this moment, there was a "bang, bang, bang, bang" sound from the east end of the street, as if an iron chain was dragging on the ground.

Outside the Apostolic Office, there is an open cross street with continuous residential buildings on all sides.

In Sanjiang Tower, although everyone spoke loudly, when they actually came outside the teaching office, no one was willing to be the first to take action.

If you look down from a high altitude at this moment, you can see that the shadow is just above the teaching office, pressing tightly.

This strange bird landed and landed in a shadow. After a while, a message came out:

Only a small part of the house had lights on.

The sound of the chain dragging stopped, and a long strange shadow was reflected on the white snow, with a huge head and a tall body;

Not only was he afraid of Tao Ting, he was also suspicious of Chen Liubai's origins.

Time passed quietly. I don’t know how long it took, but there was a sound of breaking in the night sky.

"One more thing. It is said that when passing through Nanling City, Chen Liubai had a conflict with the local eunuch Su Zhao and offended the Su family..."

However, these figures surrounded the place from four directions, but they stopped invariably, watching one by one, as if waiting for something.

No wonder that when Chen Liubai came to take office, he only had one person, one horse, and one sword.

In fact, the fact that he was sent to Gaohua City as an evangelist speaks for itself. Not to mention those disciples of the Xuanmen sect, even the direct descendants of the cultivating family, would not come to suffer in such a remote and chaotic place.

Coming to Gaohua City is almost like being exiled. "Hmph, look at this, does Su Zhao want us to be swordsmen?"

"It's not surprising that there is a conflict between the two instructors. If they don't want to break up, they can only use some extra tactics."

"In that case, will Su Zhao deliberately provide false information to deceive us?"

"Tsk, Gu Laosan, is this your first day out? Are you that easy to deceive?"

"Whether it's true or false, everyone is here, why don't they just do nothing and just turn around and leave? Spreading the word will only make people laugh in vain."

"That's good, let's get started..."

……

In the outbuildings of the Apostolic Office, two old guards sat across from each other. They didn't light the lamp and didn't dare to sleep.

They knew that Chen Liubai did not go to Sanjiang Tower for the banquet, and they immediately guessed that something would happen tonight.

With the style of those side families in the city, how could they choose to swallow their anger after being scorned?

These people will definitely give Chen Liubai a warning, or even an unforgettable lesson, to show who's place and who has the final say in Gaohua City.

Similar things have happened before, and more than once.

Both Lao Ding and Lao Wu have experience with this, and they are not afraid that they will suffer disaster. As long as they stay in the house honestly, nothing will happen.

The other party just came for Chen Liubai.

Therefore, Chen Liubai will definitely have a hard time tonight. Although he is not in danger of his life, he will be embarrassed and disgraced. This is a heavy blow to a young monk. How can he continue to be a teacher?

Pity……

……

Chen Liubai in the hall frowned. He heard someone whispering outside the door.

The voice he spoke was very low, like gibbering, which could not be heard clearly at all, but it kept drilling into his ears, making people annoyed and making it difficult to concentrate on reading.

Then outside the window, there was a vague and ferocious strange shadow reflected on the window paper, as if the window would break in the next moment...

Chen Liubai subconsciously raised his head to look at the three statues of emperors and gods placed there, and found that they had no response.

Normally, when the enshrined statues possess the charm of Dharma, they possess spirituality, thereby forming a dojo, which will protect the worshippers and deter the invasion of evil spirits and heretics.

And with the mysterious and unpredictable expressions displayed on the three emperor statues, the charm of the law is far beyond that of ordinary temple statues. If there is evil at work, how can they just sit idly by and ignore it?

The most likely possibility is that the three emperors have transcended the entire world. In their view, all living beings in the world are the same, so they will not reject or treat them differently.

There is a saying in Confucianism: there is no distinction between teachings and everyone should be treated equally;

Buddha said: All living beings are equal;

These statements, in essence, contain the same truth.

In addition, Chen Liubai knew that statues of emperors and emperors were actually enshrined in the homes of those hereditary people.

This seems black humor.

Otherwise, it would be said that the three great emperors are aloof and their incense spreads all over the world.

So the question is, in this case, what is the real purpose of enshrining their statues in the Taoist official offices and offering sacrifices day and night?

Some say that the statues of emperors and gods themselves hide secrets and are closely related to the overall situation of the world;

It is also said that among the thousands of worshipers, there will be a chance that a lucky person may win the favor of a certain emperor and receive a response from the inheritance. That is a great fate...

But at this moment, Chen Liubai had no time to pay attention to those vague rumors.

He put down the book, picked up the sword, and walked out...
