The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 958

The news of Zen Master Lingyou's death came much sooner than everyone imagined.

Almost on the second day after Pei Wende decided to close the mountain and the temple, the whole Tanzhou knew the reason for the closure of the Miyin Temple.

By the third day, the entire land of Shenzhou was preaching that the national teacher Huiji had left his post without authorization, ignoring state affairs for his own personal interests.

Of course, Ziyang and Li Gang who retired after Zhao Guizhen's disappearance also knew the news.

They still have news channels inside the Qin Tianjian, and they even know more than ordinary insiders.

"Didn't I tell you already?"

"If you show up in front of me again, I will definitely put you in the prison of Qin Tianjian with my own hands."

Ling Xiaozi looked at Li Gang and Ziyang in front of him with a gloomy expression, making no effort to hide his inner disgust and irritability.

"Uh……"

Looking at the sullen Ling Xiaozi in embarrassment, Li Gang obviously remembered the cruel words he said before leaving last time.

When Pei Wende entered the Qintian Pavilion last time, Li Gang scolded Ling Xiaozi for taking the inside out and throwing all the blame on Zhao Guizhen for his own future.

In the end, he even uttered bold words, you will walk your Yangguan Road, and I will cross my single-plank bridge.

In the end, it was only three or four years later, and I had to ask Ling Xiaozi for help again.

Fortunately, it was not Li Gang who came to ask for help this time, but Zhao Guizhen's personal disciple——Ziyang, so the situation did not seem too embarrassing or embarrassing.

At the very least, Ling Xiaozi was sullen, but he didn't really send the two of them to Qin Tianjian's prison.

"Senior brother, don't be angry, the juniors are here to ask for something!"

Respectfully bowing to Ling Xiaozi, Ziyang's attitude was obviously much better than Li Gang's.

Because Li Gang only knew that Ling Xiaozi was good at powerful lightning techniques, but he deliberately hid his strength and stayed in Qin Tianjian as a gatekeeper.

But Ziyang knew that if it wasn't for him, Ling Xiaozi would be Zhao Guizhen's most optimistic candidate for his personal disciple.

Back then, before he became a teacher of Zhao Guizhen, Ling Xiaozi accepted Zhao Guizhen's guidance, and was once regarded as his closest Taoist boy.

It can only be said that fate is so wonderful.

Zhao Guizhen finally gave up on the more talented Ling Xiaozi, and instead took Ziyang, the adopted son of a Jiangyang thief, as his apprentice.

"I'm not your senior brother."

"It wasn't before, and it won't be in the future."

Until this time, Ling Xiaozi, whose attitude eased a little, said calmly.

No matter what happened back then, Ling Xiaozi and Ziyang still had some brotherhood.

Especially now that Zhao Guizhen is dead, Ling Xiaozi and Ziyang are essentially no different from their senior brothers except for the lack of their status.

"I know what you intend to ask this time, but that has nothing to do with you."

What Ling Xiaozi said was the truth, no matter what happened in the court, the best way for Taoism is to be a bystander and a qualified oriole.

"Brother, are you that kind of pedantic person?"

His eyes were not sharp, but Ziyang's words revealed a sharpness and righteousness that Ling Xiaozi absolutely could not have.

"Whether it's the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, or the chaos in the court..."

"Master and I have never cared about these things."

"The alternation of Buddhism and Taoism is only an inevitable trend, but the life and death of common people is the reality before us."

"The reason why Master came out to become a national teacher back then, apart from his promise at the beginning, was more because he didn't want to see the common people displaced, suffering from hunger and cold."

There was a deep affection in the tone, because Ziyang was one of those people who were displaced, hungry and cold back then.

Therefore, he understands Zhao Guizhen's intentions better than Ling Xiaozi, and also understands that "people's suffering" is not just a simple adjective.

Behind this word, tens of thousands of people have been displaced from their hometowns, without knowing whether they are alive or dead.

"Nowadays the group of evils are in turmoil, and the big monsters appear in the world, not only targeting Hui Ji and the Buddhists, but our Taoists are also in this general trend."

Ziyang's powerful rhetoric was enough to shake people's hearts, but it was not enough to shake Ling Xiaozi's belief.

Just looking at Ziyang's current appearance, Ling Xiaozi suddenly understood why Zhao Guizhen chose the other party instead of himself.

"Is that the reason?"

Couldn't help murmuring, the dissatisfaction and resentment accumulated in Ling Xiaozi's heart suddenly disappeared at this moment.

Compared with Ziyang, he seems too utilitarian and realistic.

He completely ignored his original intention when he entered Taoism and practiced, and he just didn't want to see the scene of evil spirits and troubled times.

Since when did I actually be able to remain indifferent to the evil and chaotic future?

Was it when Zhao Guizhen announced that Ziyang was accepted as his personal disciple?
Is it from the time when he insisted on joining Qin Tianjian despite the dissuasion of others?
Or did I lose my original intention when I entered the Tao earlier?
"Tell me! What do you want to know?"

After thinking for a while, Ling Xiaozi finally asked without avoiding it.

"I want to know what Hui Ji is planning to do!?"

"Has he ever thought about the serious consequences he will cause to the people of the world if his approach fails!?"

This time it wasn't Ziyang who questioned him, but Li Gang who was even more irritable.

Ever since he learned that Huiji had left Chang'an without authorization, Li Gang had been restless.

Today's Chang'an does not have the guards of the "Luofu Dao Pan", and the Qin Tianjian alone cannot prevent those powerful monsters from coming and going freely.

"The national teacher intends to complete his merits in one battle, and wipe out the world's evil spirits in one fell swoop."

"As for the consequences?"

"There are no consequences, because I am the last resort for the national teacher to stay in Chang'an."

Speaking the most domineering facts in the calmest tone, when Ling Xiaozi said this, Li Gang and Ziyang were stunned for an instant.

Because they never expected that Ling Xiaozi, who has always acted in a low-key, quiet and impartial manner, would join Huiji's camp.

You know, although Li Gang has always disliked Ling Xiaozi, he is very envious of his lightning skills.

To use what Zhao Guizhen once said, apart from Ling Xiaozi not being as good as himself in terms of Taoism and practice, his attainments in Leifa are no less than his own.

In other words, Ling Xiaozi is the god of thunder in the world, in charge of the existence of thunder.

"If you really want to do something, then run an errand for me and go to Jiangnan."

"It is a land of fish and rice, and it is also the heart of the dynasty. There should be many monsters who want to take the opportunity to make trouble there."

Silently looking at Ling Xiaozi, Ziyang didn't know what to say at the moment.

This senior brother of mine has a higher level of cultivation than himself, sees farther than himself, and even his position is not as vacillating as he imagined.

"Thank you, senior brother, Ziyang will definitely live up to his trust!"
