The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 278: Shuanglong becomes apprentice!

Xu Ziling, who had just fought alongside him, stared at him in disbelief, "Master Zhong, are you crazy? Stop it first!"

When the soldiers who were about to take action heard this, they stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Kou Zhong's eyes were red, full of murderous intent and anger, "I'm not crazy, Xiao Ling, look at these people, they don't look like monks at all, I don't believe these women came here voluntarily!"

Xu Ziling let out a long breath, forced himself to calm down, and not look at the monk next to him. "The higher-ups only told us to check the temple's money, grain, and land, but they didn't tell you to kill them all. If everyone died, how would we explain this to the higher-ups?"

"I'll take care of anything if there's anything I need to explain. What else do I need to say? I think that even if the clan leader and his men come, they won't sit idly by." Kou Zhong calmed down at this time, but there was still a fierce look on his face, and his eyes were full of coldness when he looked at the monks.

"Zi Ling, these monks really deserve to die!"

Xu Ziling also felt that these monks deserved to die, but he didn't want Kou Zhong to be stained with the blood of innocent people, so he advised, "I know, Master Zhong, don't rush to kill people and don't implicate innocent monks. This temple is so big, it can't be full of evil monks."

After a moment of silence, Kou Zhong sighed and tried not to look at the women. "I'll listen to you. Arrest them first and interrogate them one by one!" Then he gave another order, "Come here, find some clothes for them to wear and find out where they came from."

Soon, all the monks in the temple were gathered together. Looking around, there was a sea of ​​bald heads, numbering hundreds.

Kou Zhong roughly flipped through the temple account books and found that these temples owned tens of thousands of acres of fertile land outside the city and had never paid taxes. There were mountains of grain in the warehouses, and they also lent money at high interest rates.

One thing after another made him furious. Finally, he forced himself not to look at them and had people collect all the account books and hand them in. In the next few days, the monks in the temple were interrogated one after another. As more and more things were revealed during the interrogation, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling felt that their views on life had been refreshed.

They do not consider themselves to be good people, as they used to steal and rob in Yangzhou City, but they are people with bottom lines and never attack the poor. However, the monks in this temple are well fed and gluttonous, and they also deceive the poor into praying to gods and Buddhas and squeeze all their money.

This time, they saw what evil, greed, and hypocrisy are!

……

Chengdu, governor's office.

Song Que sat at the desk, flipping through the account book page by page, his gentle eyes turned cold, "Now I finally understand why the previous dynasty destroyed Buddhism. There are temples everywhere in the world, plus land annexation, which government can tolerate it?"

This has only been the case twice. The Three Wus and One Zong destroyed Buddhism a total of four times. Adding the one time by Lin Lingsu, it is almost the fifth time. Buddhism has refused to change despite repeated admonitions, and there are good and bad people inside. It can really be said that people die for money and birds die for food. It took so many times to finally be honest.

Su Ming said in a deep voice, "There aren't many Buddhist forces in Shu, let alone the wealthy Central Plains. Even if the Song clan doesn't cooperate with the Taoist sect, it will be difficult for Buddhism to survive in the future."

"There are great monks in the world, but they are few and far between." Su Ming thought for a moment and continued, "Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling have passed my three tests. Brother Song, do you want to meet them?"

Song Que raised his sharp eyebrows slightly and nodded happily, "See you."

……

When Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling learned that Song Que wanted to see them, they were both dumbfounded. The person who delivered the message left after he finished speaking. The two looked at each other, excited and excited, "Xiao Ling, what do you think the head of the clan is like?"

"Mr. Zhong, you ask me, how should I know?" Xu Ziling rolled his eyes, "But why did he suddenly want to see us? Is it because of our search of the temple a few days ago?"

"Hmph, no matter what, I did nothing wrong in this matter, those monks deserve to die!" Kou Zhong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Even if the clan leader wants to punish me, I will accept it. Xiaoling, this matter has nothing to do with you, I will take it on myself!"

Xu Ziling was unhappy when he heard this, and punched him on the shoulder, "Zhong Shao, what are you talking about? We are brothers, and we share happiness and difficulties. I don't think the clan leader can blame us for this."

Kou Zhong couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it and laughed a few times, "Never mind, I just want to see what the legendary number one sword in the world looks like, so that I can brag about it when I travel around the world."

Soon, the two arrived at Song Que's residence.

The servant led them to the reception hall. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a familiar figure and couldn't help but shout out, "Sir, why are you here?" ("You deceived us so badly!")
Su Ming turned around and glanced at them, smiling, "Kou Zhong, when did I ever lie to you?"

Kou Zhong also knew that he had said the wrong thing. His face flushed and he stammered. Seeing Su Ming's teasing look, he stiffened his neck and threw the jar aside. "You said you would take us as your disciples, but you just threw us to the Song family and ignored us. Aren't you lying to us?"

"Then why do you think I called you here?"

Kou Zhong thought of a possibility, and his head was buzzing, as if hit by something, "You, you really want to accept us as your disciples?"

Song Que in the room was also looking at the two young men, his eyes full of surprise. Although he was not a grandmaster, his fighting ability was close to that of a grandmaster. The Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling he saw were different from ordinary people.

The two young men standing together were like a black hole, constantly devouring the free energy between heaven and earth and transforming it into pure energy to feed back into themselves. The two of them had divine light and were outstanding, and could be described as excellent talents.

No wonder, no wonder Mr. Su wanted me to accept him as his disciple. No one in the Song family has better qualifications than them.

There was a hint of surprise in Song Que's eyes. He suddenly had a feeling that Su Ming's greatest gain from his previous trip to the East China Sea was not the Dongming Sect as an ally, but these two young men.

Su Ming nodded, then shook his head, "No, I will only accept one of you, and the other will become the master's disciple."

boom!
The two were stunned by this huge surprise, their minds were in chaos. Tian Dao Song Que wanted to accept them as his disciples?

After a long while, the two men came to their senses and noticed another person standing in the room. They immediately stepped forward and saluted. "Kou Zhong greets the master." "Xu Ziling greets the master."

"Get up, no need to be polite."

The two men stood up straight, quietly looking at the person in front of them, sighing in their hearts, as if they had seen an idol. These days, what they heard the most in the Song family was how great Song Que was. Now that they saw the real person, they were even more excited.

So, the clan leader looks like this, no wonder the Song family said he was the most handsome man in the world, Kou Zhong thought to himself, and then shook his head, No, and sir, it would be nice if I could look like them. However, Xiaoling is handsome enough, maybe there will be a chance in the future.

They stood there, not daring to say a word. Song Que sensed the aura of movement and stillness of the two people, and had a guess in his mind, so he said to Kou Zhong, "Would you like to be my disciple?"

"I?"

Kou Zhong was confused again. The clan leader wanted to accept me as his disciple?

Then a thought popped up in his mind: Will he be able to walk around the world with ease in the future?

No, if the clan leader accepts me as his disciple, what should I do with Xiaoling?
He quickly came to his senses and prostrated himself on the ground, "Master, oh no, Master, how about you take both of us brothers in?" Climbing up the pole was something he was very familiar with.

Song Que laughed in silence. This kind of temperament was rare for him. "Don't worry about your brother. The master will accept him as a disciple. He will naturally agree to what he said at the beginning. Could it be that you two want to become his disciples?"

Kou Zhong's eyes rolled around. This cheap master seemed to be easy to talk to? He asked carefully, "Master, let me ask you, who is more powerful between you and Mr.?"

“Hahaha…” Song Que, despite his calm personality, couldn’t help but laugh. He answered frankly, “I was defeated by him before. Only a very few people know about this battle. You must not spread the news.”

Hearing this, Kou Zhong felt relieved and touched Xu Ziling's shoulder, "Xiaoling, why don't you hurry up and become my disciple?" It was just a test. The two of them had depended on each other since childhood. He didn't want to abandon his brother. They should share the good and the bad. This was what he had said at the beginning.

Xu Ziling had already calmed down and hurriedly paid his respects to Su Ming as his teacher.

Seeing Xu Ziling, who had a handsome face and a calm temperament, Su Ming nodded with satisfaction, "From now on, you will be my disciple." Then he looked at Kou Zhong, "The three tests have passed. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Kou Zhong nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Satisfied, of course I am satisfied, thank you for the introduction!"

Afterwards, the two held a ceremony of becoming apprentices in the presence of the core members of the Song family, completely establishing their master-disciple relationship, and becoming members of the Song clan.

……

Backyard, practice room.

"Zi Ling, do you know why I didn't accept Kou Zhong as my disciple, but let him worship the clan leader as my master?"

Xu Ziling thought for a moment and replied, "Master, you have your reasons for doing this. I think that Young Master Zhong is more suitable than me to be the master of the clan."

Su Ming nodded, "That's right. Kou Zhong likes to move and has a bold personality, so he is more suitable to inherit Song Que's swordsmanship. My lineage is more suitable for quiet training. You are naturally quiet, smart and steady, so you are more suitable to learn my martial arts."

He knows a lot of martial arts. If Xu Ziling had not learned the Art of Immortality, he would definitely be taught the Nether Sea Return to Origin Force. With his comprehension, he would definitely be able to learn it. Unfortunately, he has already learned the Art of Immortality, and his physique is also being changed by it. If he discards his skills and starts over, he might damage his origin.

In this way, we can only pass on his swordsmanship.

He had tried, but the power of martial arts like Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, One Zen Finger, and Shocking Spirit Finger were greatly weakened in this world. The reason was that these martial arts could not be activated in conjunction with spiritual power, and were not powerful enough. They had their merits, but were unusable. They could only be regarded as third-rate martial arts because they could not directly lead to the innate.

However, in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, there are two kinds of martial arts that can shine in this world. One is the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung, and the other is Wang Chongyang's Xiantian Kung. The threshold of Xiantian Kung is very high, and almost no one in the Quanzhen Sect can practice it. This Kung Fu directly points to the innate way, and it is still a first-class Taoist Kung Fu in this world.

With Xu Ziling's extraordinary comprehension, it would be a pity for him to learn Dragon Elephant Prajna. He also wanted to see who was stronger, the two dragons with swords and sabers. In the original novel, both of them learned swordsmanship, but their experiences were very different.

After thinking for a while, Su Ming handed a sword manual to Xu Ziling. "My master is best at swordsmanship. This swordsmanship is called Piaomiao Swordsmanship, which was passed down from a swordsmanship master. The swordsmanship is not complete yet, with only ten moves. If you can master these ten moves, you may be able to reach the realm of breaking the void!"

He has not yet fully comprehended his own Jingzhe sword technique, so it would be a complete waste to give it to Xu Ziling. On the contrary, Piaomiao sword technique values ​​comprehension more. If Xu Ziling can truly comprehend the Piaomiao sword technique and reproduce the Piaomiao sword intent of the tenth sword realm, when he comprehends the eleventh sword realm, it will be his time to break the void.

When Xu Ziling heard the words "shattered void", he was shocked and immediately bowed in thanks, "Thank you, Master!"

Su Ming then took out another method and said solemnly, "This sword method cannot be passed on to others without my permission, even to your brothers. In addition, this is a method of strengthening the tendons and removing the marrow. Take it back and practice it with Kou Zhong. In a few days, I will strengthen your tendons and cleanse your marrow to improve your bones."

When his martial arts skills were not yet fully developed, he was able to strengthen Guo Jing's tendons and cleanse his marrow. Now that he is almost a grandmaster, it could be easier for him to help Xu Ziling with his tendons and cleanse his marrow. As for the tendon-strengthening and marrow-cleansing methods of the Nine Yin Scriptures, he can regard it as a gift to the Song clan.

After a few days, he also planned to hand over the first few levels of the Dragon Elephant Prajna to Song Que and let the lower-level soldiers practice.

Practicing horizontal martial arts requires a lot of resources. In the past, the Song clan only had a corner of Lingnan and could not support it. But now, they can start to do it.

Although the He Shi Bi has the effect of strengthening muscles and weakening marrow, its significance is too great. Having this item in hand is no less than a powerful army. In the original book, it was absorbed by two dragons and turned into powder directly, which is naturally not feasible now.

The lack of the Heshi Bi did not mean that the two of them could not reach the realm of Grandmaster or even higher. He had the method of Yijin Xisui, and Song Que would naturally have something similar. Even the Buddhist, Taoist, and Demonic schools had endless skills and secrets, and he never dared to underestimate the martial arts wisdom of the senior masters.

……

at the same time.

Mount Zhongnan, Emperor’s Peak.

Inside the tall Buddhist temple, Fan Qinghui opened her beautiful eyes and saw the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva in front of her. She felt uneasy, "Why do I suddenly feel an ominous feeling? Could it be that the Demon Sect has made some new moves?"

Cihang Jingzhai is the leader of Buddhism and the chief of the white way. As the abbot of Cihang Jingzhai, Fan Qinghui embodies the luck of Buddhism.

But the two dragons are the destined protagonists, and their luck should not be underestimated. The fact that they were intercepted by Su Ming made them feel malicious towards Buddhism, which indirectly led to the conflict of their luck.

The first impression is very important. In the future, when they see Shi Feixuan again, even if they will be influenced by her "immortal" temperament, with the anchor set by this conflict, it will be difficult to fool them again.

This is just the case with Shuanglong. If it were the children of the aristocratic families in this world, what Su Ming did would not have much effect. The reason is that their identities and backgrounds are different. Shuanglong is a grassroots, while the children of the aristocratic families are rich and powerful. They have different perspectives and feelings.
