Chapter 15 Talk (2)
When Xiao Xia escaped from the Chuyang Taoist, Tang Gongzheng was sitting in the wooden house of Shi Taoist, sitting cross-legged, and quietly looking at the Huangshan Sword Immortal not far away.
At this moment, Taoist Shi was closing his eyes and breathing. The two flying swords that were originally inserted behind him were now floating in the air. As the white energy exhaled from his mouth was floating and sinking. After a while, the two flying swords drew two arcs and flew back into the scabbard behind Taoist Shi. Taoist Shi slowly opened his eyes, looked at Tang Gongzheng in front of him, nodded, and said slowly: "There are four young masters who explained the sword intent method to me. The divine thoughts in my two flying swords can finally be condensed a little. Although I need to go back and slowly nourish myself for several years to restore my previous situation, I can still use sword control techniques at this critical moment, which can be regarded as solving the urgent problem."
Tang Gongzheng said lightly: "These two swords were injured in my hands, and this move is natural."
Taoist Shi closed his eyes half closed and silent for a while, and continued, "If I guessed it, there are still some of the mantras in this mantras that destroy the world and destroy the world in the five volumes of the Demons you took away by Tangjiabao. Fourth Master, you have to practice this supreme martial arts after you have won the favor of your old master, but you just told others casually that it doesn't matter? The court's strict orders, practicing the martial arts of the Demon Sect is a death sentence. Although your Tangjiabao family is in great power and has contact with the Shadow Guard, you are not afraid of these rules that restrict ordinary people, but it is always a troublesome to spread it."
"Martial arts are the martial arts of all people in the world. The Great Shattered Hand has been constantly pondered and modified by generations of my Tang family and turned into the Great Shattered Hand. It is no longer the original treasure book of the Demon Sect. What I said to the Taoist Priest was only a few words, less than one-tenth of them. It is harmless. Moreover, the Taoist Priest also allowed me to see the sword-control technique left by the ancient immortals, which was of great benefit to my sword technique. Now I tell you how to tell a few more words?" As he said that, Tang Gongzheng smiled bitterly again. "The key is that if I don't say these words, the Taoist Priest will not be able to condense his spiritual thoughts in this sword again."
But Taoist Shi seemed to have not heard Tang Gongzheng say anything at all. He closed his eyes and thought for a while before opening his eyes to look at Tang Gongzheng, his eyes shining intimidating: "Why? What is the purpose of this move of the Fourth Master?"
Tang Gongzheng still said lightly: "I just hope the Taoist priest understands that I have no malice to the Taoist priest."
Taoist Shi looked at him with a stabbing look for a while. Then he closed his eyes, sighed and opened his eyes again, his eyes full of vicissitudes: "The fourth young master's mind and demeanor are the only ones I have seen in my life. I am afraid that if I look at the world, it is difficult to have someone who is comparable to the fourth young master. I rarely convinced people in this life. Even Zhang Zhengyang from Longhu Mountain back then, I think he only had the reputation and ability to take over his family business. But now when I see the fourth young master Tang, I understand what a true born hero is. I am truly convinced."
"Now, there is no need to say the Fourth Master. I also understand that the Fourth Master is indeed not malicious to me. What else will the Fourth Master say next?"
Tang Gongzheng slowly spoke, "Tang didn't want to be too much before, but everyone was a match that went along the way. Master Shi's sword-controlling skills also opened his eyes, so Tang couldn't help asking here... Master Shi is the leader of the Five Mountains and a famous master in the world. Can't you see that your siege of the Tianhuo Sect is very likely to be a game set up by someone? Master Shi, why bother to take risks? He also brought these two thousand tourists with him?"
“…”
Taoist Shi was not surprised by Tang Gongzheng's words, but he just asked back silently for a while: "I know why the Fourth Master said this. There are indeed some traces of artificiality in the process of this matter... I will not argue with the Fourth Master whether the details are true or not. Even so, if someone really sets up this situation, who would you say, the Fourth Master? What are you doing?"
"...I don't know." Gongzheng Tang sighed. "...I don't know either. So he asked me to come and have a look."
"...Since the Fourth Young Master said he didn't know, then I might as well think about it with the Fourth Young Master." Dao Ren Shi smiled faintly. "Second Master, what is the most valuable thing in this matter?"
"Of course it's the Vermilion Bird Spiritual Fire."
"That's what the hypothetical planner must want, that's what he wants?"
“…probably, it should be.”
"Who would want it?"
"......have no idea."
"Since the fourth young master doesn't know, then let's take a look." Taoist Shi smiled faintly. "Start with the most powerful and powerful people in the world. First of all, the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism will definitely not cause trouble. The Pure Land Zen Temple also sent a small monk from the ten directions, and it was also said that the four young masters would come to see what conspiracies were there. There was no news on Longhu Mountain. That Zhang Zhengyang was a hypocrite who liked to show off his appearance and was accused of false reputation and was in court in recent years.
There are many rewards, and the Shenjitang is going to pick up his stinky feet and ask him to issue a devil-killing order every year. He really thinks he is the leader of the Taoist sect in the world and a master of the world. He will never use such tricks that may damage Zhang Tianshi's reputation. As for Zhenwu Sect, he has always been low-key, and Nangong Hong is just watching the fun alone. As for the major families... The Fourth Master should know this more than me. The Fourth Master said, would you do it?"
"No. They have a great family and a great career. The world has been determined over the past few decades. Even if it is a rare and useful treasure, who would still want to take the risk of angering others and the Shadow Guard to plot against this?" Tang Gongzheng shook his head, and then he remembered Tang Qingxiao, who had been lurking in for five years, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Too young and reckless, and too strong, he covered his vision. He only saw the attention of the success and fame. Why do you have to do one thing? After doing it, what changes in the whole situation are? These things that require a certain height and vision are completely invisible. Even if Tang Qingxiao really got the hand, Tangjiabao would not want it at all. If the trouble and trouble caused are too great, maybe some people in the family would have the idea of silence.
"Who is the most important person in the world? Shadow Guard? The Tian Family Hawks are certainly capable. But their responsibility is to firmly control the vast rivers and lakes. Why dare to secretly promote the fire? If someone really sets up a situation, I'm afraid they will help find it."
“…”
"...The only thing left is the Yongzhou General's Mansion. Ye Hongshan is just a martial artist who leads troops to fight. He never asks about the affairs of the world, but a group of people in the General's Mansion are active in the world. Speaking of which, it seems that they really have the possibility of setting up this game, but the question is what is the use of setting up this game? For example, today, the Wolf Lord of the West Di has been sleeping for decades. It is reported that huge storms are brewing among the tribes and cannot take care of themselves. Yongzhou Hong
Ye Junwei's momentum is becoming more and more obvious. The indulgence of the Western Di Nan invasion was always a trauma of the court. The scholars of the world regard Ye Hongshan as a thorn in their eyes and were about to find his handle. At this time, why did the people in the General's Mansion still cause trouble for the master? What's more, Ye Hongshan is so arrogant and arrogant that he dared to kill the imperial envoy when he first came out of his cottage. If he really wanted this spiritual fire, he would have to bring troops to take it. He would never use such obscure means of setting up a plan and conspiracy."
“…”
"Who else can be left? The remnants of the Demon Cult? It was originally just some leftover residues, and they had long become rats crossing the street. In recent years, the devil-killing order has also made many so-called heroes in the martial arts world keen on looking for traces of the Demon Cult. Those with a little trace were almost dead. Most of the remaining ones were quietly attached to the wings of some big families. These people were still too busy to take care of themselves. Can they dare to come out to make trouble?"
“…”
"As for the rest of the sects such as Kunlun Kongtong, most of them know that they will not come to this muddy water. On the contrary, these second-rate gangs and some lonely people in the Treasure Hunt Alliance dare to daydream, but they are absolutely unable to set up such a big situation. As a result, I united together and restrained each other."
“…”
"Since the fourth young master told me, I should have a heart to do with the fourth young master." Taoist Shi pondered for a while and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "When it comes to the Vermillion Bird Spirit Fire... I am not really determined to win. It is good to be able to succeed. But if there is any change, does the fourth young master really think that I will not take the lives of these disciples of the Five Mountains League under him seriously? This time, my biggest purpose is actually to take this opportunity to further integrate these gangs and organizations related to my Five Mountains League. If I can get the spirit fire, it will naturally gain both fame and fortune. From then on, my Five Mountains League will be among the top in the world regardless of its power. Even if there is any change, the reputation of my Five Mountains League will still be greatly boosted after this battle, and people's hearts are gathering, and we can take the opportunity to accomplish things."
When Taoist Shi spoke with a smile, Tang Gongzheng could only speak silently and sigh in secret. He had to admit that Taoist Shi's ponder was indeed calm and meticulous, comprehensive, and without enough vision and insight, it was absolutely impossible to do it. He could pull up the alliance of more than two thousand martial artists. It seemed that he was not just relying on two sharp flying swords, nor was he a fool who was unaware of the world when he was hot. This was clearly the result that he had discussed with others in advance.
It’s a pity that being meticulous and rigorous does not necessarily mean being correct. If you have a vague result in your heart in advance, then even the most detailed inference will eventually become a strong proof of the determined result.
The so-called "wind" of vigilance does not mean that only stupid people can do stupid things. Once smart people are too smart, the stupid things they do will be even more stupid, because smart people think they will never do stupid things and can find enough evidence to prove that this stupid thing is actually not stupid.
Speaking of this, Tang Gongzheng knew that nothing he said was useless. He sighed and frowned at Taoist Shi and said, "Since Taoist Master Shi has already inferred the situation so carefully, Tang no longer said useless nonsense. He just hopes Taoist Master is careful everywhere."
Taoist Shi also nodded and said, "The Fourth Master has worked hard, I have recorded it. Don't worry about the matter about Ling Brother. As long as the Fourth Master waits with us until the spiritual fire sacrifice is over and rush in together, with two thousand masters of my Treasure Hunt Alliance, as long as Ling Brother can safely hold on until then, he will definitely be able to escape unstoppable."

After coming out of the stone Taoist's wooden house, Tang Gongzheng looked up and saw that the dark night had been completely dispersed by the huge fireball not far away. In the clearings of the forest, many young disciples of the Treasure Alliance were still making noises and playing around, as if they had become accustomed to the wonders created by this magic. They were still quite excited and happy like groups of moths flying into the fire.
Tang Gongzheng frowned and sighed. Then he turned his gaze to a big tree in the distance. This was the tallest in the woods, and a small figure was sitting cross-legged on it, and a faint golden light seemed to appear around him.
It seemed as if he felt Tang Gongzheng's gaze. The man opened his eyes that had been closed all the time and smiled at Tang Gongzheng. His very funny look made the smile very friendly. Then the man said, "I know the fourth young man has something to ask me. Why not come up and talk."
With hundreds of feet apart, it was obvious that it was difficult for even men or women to distinguish, but the man's voice, appearance, smile and voice seemed to be right in front of him, just because the man wanted him to see and hear. Tang Gongzheng thought about it, walked up quickly and jumped up a few times on the branches.
On the top of the tree, Shilang stood up and bowed to Tang Gongzheng who jumped up: "I know that the four young masters on the way have something to ask me. However, due to the fact that they have been in front of others, they have been worried about hurting my reputation and the Pure Land Zen Temple, so they didn't say it directly. Now I'll ask the four young masters."
"..." Tang Gongzheng felt speechless about the words of the little monk. After thinking about it, he still said, "Since that's the case, the monks in the ten directions know what I would ask, right?"
"The little monk is not a divine monk in all directions. The fourth young master wanted to ask, my Buddhism talks about compassion, and the Pure Land Zen Temple even advocates the salvation of all sentient beings in the world. Why did he know that there was a conspiracy in this matter but he didn't ask. After the little monk came here, he just kept silent and mixed into the treasure hunting alliance and watched coldly?"
"...Yes. I just want to ask these questions. Now I ask Master Shifang to give me some advice."
"The little monk Shifang is not a master, so the fourth young master can just call him." Shifang smiled again. "The many young monks didn't say anything, but asked the fourth young master. The fourth young master had gone to have a secret conversation with the Huangshan Sword Immortal. After coming out, he looked depressed and felt a faint indignation. It can be seen that he was going to have the advantage of Chen Gong, the Huangshan Sword Immortal Chen, and with the consequences of returning. With the spirit and charm of the fourth young master, he could not persuade him. Is the fourth young master still useful if he says anything else?"
“…Master of Shifang, but you Buddhist…”
"The little monk Shifang is not a master. Although my Buddhism talks about compassion, he emphasizes cause and effect. I asked the Fourth Young Master, are these people cheated, threatened, and deceived by others? Their previous information investigation was more carefully than the Fourth Young Master, right? Do you think more thoughtful? Don't they know that the Tianhuo Sect is like mowing grass when doing things? Don't they know that there is a great risk in this matter? The day before yesterday, I met a group of treasure hunters and robbed. Those people were killed by the robbers. They were also greedy for the beauty of Miss Mingyue, but they were killed dozens of people by Miss Mingyue. I warned them again. But you see, there are still many of those people who did not give up and followed them."
Tang Gongzheng looked in the direction pointed by Shifang's fingers and saw a group of new disciples who were being alerted by the outside world. Although not many, there were dozens of people.
"So, it's not that they come here that someone is lying to them, but that they are coming themselves. These people are deeply trapped in the devil of causality and the fact that they are coming themselves, and they are coming themselves."
"..." Tang Gongzheng only felt that he had never had so many speechless times in his life. "I heard that there were many sayings about the Buddhist singular lotus flowers for a long time... If you use this statement to them, maybe they will understand it."
"Amitabha. The words are originally meant to be heard by those who can understand. When the World Honored One personally taught him **, he did not really save all sentient beings. If you want to get rid of the cause and effect of this karma and the inner demon, you can only rely on your own perseverance to let go of the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance in your heart." Shifang shook his head and said, his round eyes seemed a bit ridiculous, but it was as bright and clear as a thousand-year-old cold spring on a snowy mountain. "I asked the Fourth Young Master, can you let go of your own knots, turn around and leave, and get rid of the whirlpool of karma right and wrong cause and effect?"
Looking at those eyes that were too clear, Tang Gongzheng felt a little dazed, as if he saw his reflection in it was much clearer than ever. However, he immediately smiled and shook his head: "A real man must do something. How can he let go of the brotherly feelings and the brother's responsibilities?"
Shifang smiled and shook his head: "Yes. The Fourth Young Master himself is someone who cannot let go, so how can he blame others? At most, those people are greed, angry, and the Fourth Young Master is just ignorance."
"......What is the purpose of you coming here and entering the right and wrong circle of karma and cause and effect?"
"Look at what you want to see, do what you can do." Shifang smiled, sat down again cross-legged, closed his eyes, and suddenly, as if he was remembering something, opened his eyes and added: "Oh, by the way, I am also protecting the bright moon."

When we met in the wooden house, when Tang Gongzheng looked at Xiao Xia's face, his heart sank again and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you ask anything?"
"I asked...it's probably similar to what we expected before...but..." Xiao Xia frowned, rubbed her chin vigorously with her right hand, and suddenly asked, "What do you think of the fourth brother's thought Chu Yang Taoist? Did you see anything strange before?"
Gongzheng Tang hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? What's the problem with that person?"
Xiao Xia's brows became tighter and tighter. He didn't know what was wrong, or even how to describe it: "...It seems that there is no problem... But I feel a little strange... Fourth brother, do you think this person's previous words, behaviors, expressions and postures are different from ordinary people?"
Gongzheng Tang thought about it carefully and shook his head: "No. Although he didn't have much contact before, he didn't look weird when talking and doing things. Even when talking about the hatred of extermination, he looked natural, and there was no strangeness at all."
"...I also feel that it's not like being fake..." Xiao Xia scratched her head. Needless to mention Tang Gongzheng's eyesight and experience in the world, he also had full confidence in his own eyes. After more than ten or twenty years of history, his eyes of looking at people have been tempered to be extremely sharp. The expression and expression of Taoist Chu Yang before was indeed natural, and he did not cry, but the resentment and grief in his tone and eyes were so strong that they could not be dissolved. Xiao Xia could not even imagine that anyone could act it for nothing.
"Although we have no haste to confirm the background of this person, the importance of this person is very important, and the Shi Dao Ren and several other leaders in the Treasure Hunt Alliance will definitely investigate it carefully. Although these people are ignorant, they are not reckless and incompetent."
"...Forget it, at least the method he said should be fine." Xiao Xia shook his head. Maybe the Taoist Chu Yang had some brain disease or something. "The fourth brother rested here, so I'll sneak in and take a look."
While speaking, Xiao Xia took out the earth-cursing mud ball that was given to him by the mud in the stone, and his body silently sank into the ground.
