Drunken and faintly dreaming

The big bell at Yuanjue Temple in the western suburbs of Yongwei City rang its powerful sound again as before. What is different about the temple today is that a new abbot has arrived - the former prison guard in the temple. Master Temple Kurong.

At this time, Master Kurong, who was sitting on the throne and chanting sutras devoutly, looked at the monks in the sutra hall who were also chanting sutras devoutly through half-narrowed eyes, and his mood gradually became as calm as water. In the past few days, because of The death of the former abbot Heba Yuanmu had really made him panic for a long time. He worried day and night that at some unprepared moment the shocking cold-blooded killer would suddenly appear in front of him!

However, as time passed slowly, the days passed as usual, but that terrible opponent was never seen. So, Master Kurong began to feel that his worries were obviously unnecessary. ?

Every day the bells in Yuanjue Temple still ring as usual, and the spiritual life of many monks still proceeds in an orderly manner. After the abbot Master Kurong has gone through this ordeal, his mind has suddenly become more calm and extraordinary - the current Kurong Master, he seems to be a truly devout and eminent monk who worships Buddha!

"It seems that Kurong has cultivated in Yuanjue Temple on the outskirts of Beijing and has become even more extraordinary now." The person who said this was sitting in a teahouse in the east of Fuzhou City.

"Oh? My junior brother is now a master of cultivation?" Shen Yixi, who was dressed like a businessman, showed that he was quite interested in the news.

"Yes, brother, I just learned about it after receiving a letter from Fei Ge from the capital." The man who spoke was short and lean, with shining eyes - he was obviously a master of internal martial arts.

Shen Yixi is indeed no stranger to the life of a monk who chants scriptures day and night in a temple. More than twenty years ago, before the bloody storm in the Nanwei royal family, the current Shen Tong Since then, he has been a devout Buddhist monk in Tianlong Temple in the capital.

At that time, the second prince, Wang Cheng, relied on the monks to support him outside the palace - Master Liaofan, who was proficient in secular affairs, and was very strategic, and Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist, who was good at martial arts and knew a lot about strange arts. Originally, , if everything goes smoothly, when the second prince ascends to the throne, Liao Fan and Geta will definitely enjoy the honor of the national master.

On that bloody night in Nanwei Palace, what kind of unnatural, violent and cruel things happened - the truth is still hidden behind a thick iron curtain... After dawn, in the rising sun that shines on the earth, people The known facts are - the late emperor passed away, the eldest prince Wang Yi was assassinated and died, and the second prince Wang Cheng was imprisoned.

The eldest prince Wang Yi, who was suddenly assassinated, was originally the one who was going to inherit the throne according to the imperial edict - that is, he was one step closer to becoming the new emperor. The reason why the second prince Wang Cheng was imprisoned was said to be because of a major assassination attempt. Suspected of (assassinating the eldest prince)!

For a time, the palace was under martial law and the entire capital was under martial law! Under the decisive control of the third prince Wang Zhan, Beiming Pavilion and the patrol battalion quickly took control of the entire Kyoto by force. As the saying goes, "A country cannot be left without its owner for a day." Despite repeated persuasion from his ministers, the third prince Wang Zhan reluctantly took over the imperial power temporarily and became the leader of Nanwei Kingdom in turning the tide.

Not long after, the second prince Wang Cheng died of excessive shame in the Heavenly Prison. This unfortunate news soon spread to Tianlong Temple, and Master Liaofan was filled with grief and indignation. He secretly made a solemn oath: In this life, I will never fight against that boy Wang Zhan!

In order to fulfill this oath, Master Liaofan resolutely returned to secular life, and since then he has been involved in official circles under the name "Shen Yixi"...

A few days later, Beiming Pavilion was ordered to clear out the "Reverse Nest" Tianlong Temple. Countless scriptures and classics in the temple were moved to the street and burned - only a dark yellow monk's ultimatum was blown to the side of the road by a gust of breeze.

At that time, a hurried passerby happened to pass by there. He stretched out his foot and stepped on it - and quietly "kept" the document. This passerby at the "right time" was Shen Yixi's cousin. Brother Ni Liang.

Ni Liang accidentally picked up the certificate of "Master Liaofan", which was like a treasure! Based on his keen sense of smell cultivated through many years of business, Ni Liang intuitively believed that such a thing would be an absolute treasure in the future. So, In his bedroom in his old house in Jiaxing, he had an extremely secret secret compartment specially designed and built - a secret compartment specially designed to store the ultimatum.

However, what the shrewd Ni Liang never expected was that this ultimatum, which he planned to use as a special bargaining chip, would eventually lead to trouble - because it aroused the covetousness of many people!

The first person who set his sights on this thing was Beiming Pavilion's new shopkeeper Yu Duoxun. In these years, Beiming Pavilion's performance was poor. In many secret confrontations, they fell short and lost to the rising star Lingyuntai.

By chance, Yudosun heard that one of his distant relatives in Jiaxing knew a secret about Ni Liang, the richest man in Jiaxing. Ni Liang usually had a tight tongue, but he often liked to talk indiscriminately after drinking. He speaks arrogantly on occasions - this problem caused him to accidentally reveal the secret behind the ultimatum!

Yudosun was overjoyed when he heard the news. He immediately sent a letter to Qiu Di, asking him to pay close attention to all the movements of the Ni family. Not long after, Shen Yixi, who was going south to take up his post, took a detour to Jiaxing City. , apparently to visit his cousin Ni Liang - but Qiu Di concluded based on some clues that his visit must have an extremely important purpose.

Combining the above two situations, Youdoson roughly came to a conclusion: Today's Shen Yixi may be a monk from before. So, which monk is the predecessor of Master Shen? Regarding the answer to this question, we can only wait to get the ultimatum hidden in the Ni family - and then the truth will naturally be revealed!

Just when Beiming Pavilion was about to take action against the Ni family, someone took action before them - and that mysterious person still has not revealed his true face in Lushan! "Which aspect" does this mysterious Jianghu guest belong to? This is still a difficult mystery to solve.

That time, after learning that Mo Lier was planning to make a big deal in Jiaxing, Yudosun immediately sent a hard-hitting "Vulture" under his command to find out more about it. Unexpectedly, the Vulture had been gone for a long time and had not been there for a long time. No news came - until recently, there was definite news that he had unfortunately fallen off the cliff and was shattered to pieces!

Hearing such news, Yu Duoxun couldn't help but be horrified: "Vulture" is one of the few strong players in Beiming Pavilion today, and his Qinggong is top-notch - how could he fall off the cliff by himself? Think about it.

Thinking about it again, Eudoson never believed that the vulture fell off the cliff and died on its own. It must have been because after its whereabouts were exposed, someone plotted against it or it was defeated by a fight.

The unfortunate death of Vulture made Yudosun see how powerful his opponent was and how decisive and ruthless he was in doing things! This reality made him fall into deep worry...
