Great Blue Night Watchman

The Holy Dao Xixin Daochang was established, and the surroundings were as quiet as night.

The same drama has been played out five times today. The hall master and the four deputy hall masters have all been defeated, either with their heads and bodies separated or with their literary reputations greatly damaged.

The forty-four heads of each palace collectively retreated.

None of the quasi-saints in the whole hall stepped forward.

In this situation, it really takes courage to take the initiative to stand up.

Zhang Weikong stood up.

Facing the Holy Dao Xixin of the Dharma Saint.

The Dharma Saint seemed to have the intention of challenging the Military Saint, and asked the same questions as the Military Saint...

"What is the most respected in your Holy Dao?"

Zhang Weikong answered dully: "The Holy Dao is the most respected!"

Everyone was shocked.

"What is the direction of your Holy Dao?"

"The direction is what the people hope for!"

All the saints opened their eyes and stared at Zhang Weikong in surprise.

Is the Holy Dao Xixin still there?

The Holy Dao Xixin is still there!

Zhang Weikong was completely immersed in the Holy Dao Xixin, and his answer was exactly what he thought in his heart.

Everyone below was also stunned...

If it weren't for the Holy Way Cleansing Heart, it would be normal to give the same answer as Zhang Weikong, because this is the standard answer and the most presentable answer.

However, who really has such a mindset?

Who doesn't have some selfishness?

For example, the answers given by the previous few people are extremely embarrassing and unbearable, but they are real...

And the answer given by Zhang Weikong is grand, but it doesn't seem real at all.

Everyone's first reaction is that this Holy Way Cleansing Heart, is it not cleansed, and Zhang Weikong still retains his consciousness?

Not only the people below think so, but all the saints think so.

The sleeves of the Confucian Saint fluttered lightly, and he joined in silently. From this moment on, Zhang Weikong's Holy Way Cleansing Heart is not only cleansed by the Dharma Saint, but also by the Confucian Saint.

The two of them will never let Zhang Weikong off.

The third question came: "If you were the master of the Holy Temple, how would you govern the world's culture and Taoism?"

Zhang Weikong said: "Focus on education, enlighten the people, strengthen the foundation of the country, benefit the people's livelihood, take the strengths of each way, gather the hopes of the people, and achieve a win-win situation between the Holy Temple and the world."

His answer was also very simple, but everyone present was moved.

The military saint let out a long breath: "Under the cleansing of the holy way, he still sticks to the right path of Taoism. Even if he is in a corner of the Reading Palace, he still has a vision of caring about the people of the world. His Taoism is pure and his realm is high! If this person is the master of the temple, the world will be convinced!"

The chess saint said: "If he is the master of the temple, he will take the strengths of each way and gather the hopes of the people. This is the way the master of the temple should go. Zhang Weikong is the master of the temple, and this saint is convinced!"

The agricultural saint said: "This saint's agricultural family has always been pure, and I especially like pure people. Zhang Weikong, this saint recognizes it!"

The ink saint recognizes it!

The Yin and Yang saint recognizes it!

The Taoist saint recognizes it!

In the blink of an eye, there are already six saints...

The Confucian Saint began to get nervous. Of the seventeen saints, more than half of them will be considered as approved, and it doesn't matter whether the others vote or not.

There are already six!

Will there be a seventh?

Who will it be?

The famous saint took a half step forward: "Zhang Weikong's heart of Taoism is pure, and the temple is hard to find. This saint has never paid attention to him in the past, but his answer, this saint can't help but recognize it, this saint recognizes it!"

The Confucian Saint's heart finally jumped slightly.

The famous saint is a member of his faction. He became the seventh person in the other camp, and he also gave an explanation in his words. He didn't know Zhang Weikong in the past and didn't understand him at all, but based on his answer alone, he "couldn't help but recognize"! Yes, whether you are willing or not, in public, under the watchful eyes of the public, in this major event that will surely go down in history, he can't help but vote to pass it.

The History Saint took a half step forward: "This Saint regards history as the way and also as a mirror. I deeply respect the pure people in the history of the human race. Zhang Weikong's purity is deeply in my heart, and this Saint recognizes it!"

Eight!

Only one person is left to the final appointment result!

The palms of the people in the audience were sweating.

Although today's competition for the Palace Master seems to be just a competition for the Palace Master, everyone is a high-level member of the Holy Temple, and they all saw the shadow of the Taoism competition through this grand event.

If it is a Taoism competition, Zhang Weikong's final outcome will be the symbol of the victory or defeat of this Taoism competition.

Zhang Weikong is obviously the one that the Military Saint wants to push up.

What the Military Saint wants to do will most likely be sniped by the Confucian Saint.

At present, eight of the seventeen saints have voted in support.

Only one more saint is needed, and Zhang Weikong will be the Palace Master.

It means that in the competition between military, Confucian and Taoism, the Military Saint has won a very critical round.

The whole audience was extremely quiet...

The Poet Saint was silent.

The Painting Saint was silent.

Even the most eloquent Zongheng Saint was silent.

Because the result in front of them was not what they wanted, but they could not find a way out.

Zhang Weikong's answer was perfect, majestic and sacred like a textbook. They could not stand up to oppose it. Once they forcibly sniped, they would become the opposite of the Holy Way, and they would be knocked off the altar...

At this moment, a man withdrew his eyes from a distance and took a half step forward.

With this half step, everyone's heartbeat accelerated.

Medical Saint!

The Medical Saint said slowly: "Doctors act and treat diseases. It is the law of nature. The Holy Temple has had some stubborn diseases for many years. It needs a pure Taoist master to lead it on the right path. Zhang Weikong, this Saint recognizes you!"

As soon as his voice fell, an invisible shock wave swept the entire Holy Temple.

Because with his vote, Zhang Weikong was already the master of the Holy Temple!

Even if all the saints behind him object, the objection is ineffective.

The Confucian sage smiled with a smile on his face: "All the sages in the temple are looking forward to the enlightened master. Today, Zhang Weikong stands out and has finally achieved the hope of all the people in the temple. I recognize it!"

Once he recognized it, the following chapters fell into place.

Zhang Weikong also scored 17-0!

Everyone, unanimously agree.

The Confucian sage waved his hand gently, and the lower body was cleansed by the holy way. The five people who were in a state of confusion woke up at the same time.

The five of them are, of course, the original palace master Cao Xiangdao, the three deputy palace masters, and Zhang Weikong.

They are all confused at the moment...

The Confucian sage said: "The new temple master Zhang Weikong will take office from now on and will preside over all affairs of the temple. He must live up to the holy expectations and benefit the world!"

Zhang Weikong's beard fluttered slightly, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

Is it really done?

The Soldier Saint smiled slightly: "Master Zhang, please!"

Zhang Weikong climbed up the high platform step by step and completed his hall master authorization ceremony under the witness of all the saints...

On the mountain of books, Lin Su exhaled softly, and the lake in front of him stirred up thousands of waves, and silently cut off the monitoring of the altar.

"It's really done!" Ming Tianyan also breathed out softly.

"The character of the Zhang family is really passed down from this old man." Lin Su said.

Ming Tianyan slowly raised his head: "Can a person really be so pure?"

Lin Sudao: "There are thousands of people in the world, and most of them are intrigues and deceitful. However, there are some special cases. Some people are so pure. They really only have the holy way in their hearts."

"A person like him would never have gotten ahead in the past."

"Yeah, but luckily I didn't get ahead."

"Why?"

Lin Sudao: "It is precisely because he has no chance to succeed that he can settle down in a corner of the Yue Wen Palace and become an independent judge, thus guarding a pure land of Wen Dao."

Ming Tianyan said: "To be able to guard the pure land of Wen Dao in a chaotic arena where fish and dragons are mixed and all parties are competing, it is indeed expected that he will now become the master of the palace. At least, he cannot become the power of that faction. "

Lin Su nodded: "Of course!"

Ming Tianyan said: "Then, is there another possibility that people from that faction will find a way to pull him down?"

"Of course they will, but what can they do?"

Ming Tianyan said: "There is a backdoor hidden in yesterday's oracle. If a saint from the Third Heaven wants to take him down, he will have a very handy weapon."

"for example?"

Ming Tianyan: "The imperial edict stipulates that saints can issue imperial orders to the palace master, and the palace master must execute them. If a saint of that faction issues an imperial order to Zhang Weikong and uses his hands to fight against you, in Legally, Zhang Weikong has no right to refuse.”

It must be said that Ming Tianyan, who was once the top sword holder of destiny in the fierce game field, is sensitive.

Just a moment after Zhang Weikong successfully obtained the throne of the palace, she caught a crisis that could ruin Zhang Weikong's reputation, and that was the Imperial Order.

The authority of the saint has now changed. It is not cancelled, but transferred.

They lost the power to directly command each palace, but they had the power to issue imperial orders. The imperial orders were issued to the palace master, and the palace master executed them unconditionally.

If the saints in the third heaven wanted to deal with Lin Su's people, they could theoretically do so through Zhang Weikong.

In this way, Zhang Weikong, who has finally ascended to the throne of the temple master, will become a knife in their hands, specially used to deal with Lin Su or Bingsheng. Can you tell me whether it is disgusting or not?

Not to mention the final result, let’s just talk about the law. Legally, they have this power...

Lin Su smiled...

This smile is like a spring breeze thousands of miles away...

The gloom in Ming Tianyan's heart instantly melted into the spring breeze: "Have you already thought of this?"

"This is the most subtle point of yesterday's holy edict!" Lin Sudao: "The holy edict cannot be taken out of context. You need to interpret the holy edict completely... Yes, the saint has the right to issue an imperial edict, and the palace master has no conditions. However, there is still the second half. If the opinions of the two saints directly conflict, it shall be submitted to the Presbyterian Council for joint decision. If a certain saint issues an imperial order to Mr. Zhang, which obviously exceeds Mr. Zhang's bottom line, our saints here. If an imperial order is issued at the same time, it conflicts with the imperial order of the previous saint. Doesn’t the old man have to execute it? "

Ming Tianyan frowned: "Will the final result return to the original vicious cycle? It is decided by the temple elders. You don't know what the temple elders are? Unless you have the ability to remove all these people and replace them with new ones. A new group of elders.”

Lin Sudao: "It seems that in the duel just now, you still didn't interpret what you really should interpret..."

"What?"

"Zhang Weikong is the master of the palace. Does the Confucian faction want to see it? No! In terms of numbers alone, do the saints on our side have an advantage? Not at all! Theoretically, if the vote is decided, Zhang Weikong will be the leader. We lost 7-10, but why did we pass 17-0?”

Ming Tianyan's eyes flashed with light: "I kind of understand, because...evil can never prevail against good! Even if you have a bunch of little calculations in your heart, it still depends on which side of the truth can be put on the table. The palace that just passed by This is true for the dispute between the Lord and the Holy Order that will involve the selfishness of a certain saint in the future."

"Exactly!" Lin Su said: "If a certain saint wants to implement any shady plan through Zhang Weikong, we can submit this order to the elders' group as soon as possible. There are hundreds of elders in the elders' group. Then Obviously it is a public place. In a public place, it is right and there is no room for selfishness. On the contrary, some people's selfishness can be turned into a noose on their heads. Having said this, I am really looking forward to the appearance of a certain saint. Come on, you see, it’s him who’s making Mr. Zhang miserable, or I’m here to peel him off!”

Ming Tianyan looked at him blankly, his eyes were a little confused to be honest...

This little husband-in-law of ours, ah, no, a fellow traveler (occasionally sharing the same bed does not affect the same journey), is so strong...

The strategy is really watertight.

He knew all the loopholes in a series of tricks.

The Holy Order is the first step he gives to the saints. This step must be given, otherwise, the saints will collectively rebound and be unable to suppress it.

However, Qin Sheng Ling is actually not that effective.

It seems that you can give orders to the palace master at will. It seems that your authority has not been reduced at all, but the executor has been changed. In fact, the saint's authority is almost completely gone. At least, you who are low-handed, self-interested, and invisible. All instructions were blocked.

Because you simply have no room for implementation.

When you issue an imperial order, Zhang Weikong only needs to send a message to the Bingsheng, and the Bingsheng will immediately make up another imperial order for you. The two imperial orders conflict with each other. If Zhang Weikong fails to execute both, he will submit it to the elders. Then sit aside and observe quietly, waiting for those clowns to expose themselves, and then explain the righteous principles that are in line with the holy way, and reveal your selfishness. The reputation of elders with selfishness will be discredited, and the reputation of saints with crooked intentions will be disgraced. Getting angry...

This is the biggest difference between the temple system and the original "long-arm jurisdiction" of saints relying on various capitals.

Each temple is the private residence of a saint.

The main hall of the temple, no!

Everyone has privacy, but the main hall does not!

All instructions will be presented in the sun. In this case, how can the evil spirits in the temple take root?

At this point, the temple is truly on track.

Three days later, the main peak of the palace.

The late spring season has finally passed, and the last touch of bright red has fallen from the prosperity outside the window.

The wind blowing by the Holy Lake vaguely brings the style of early summer. What is the style of early summer? That is, women's clothes are getting fewer and fewer, and the green water is gradually turning blue...

Of course, it is also reflected in Ming Tianyan.

Ming Tianyan put on a light shirt, which eliminated the mystery and taboo that had shrouded her for eight hundred years, revealing a style that had never been incompatible with her.

What was the reason for her change?

Then the benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom...

It may be because the wind direction in the temple has been turned upside down, and the sky above her has changed from turbulent and treacherous to a clear blue. In the new era, her taboo does not need to be tabooed. She walks freely and freely in the sunshine.

Of course, it may also be a miracle of women. Only women who have truly experienced that kind of thing can bloom the most beautiful side of women. As for what that kind of thing is, everyone knows it...

The lake at his feet was quiet, and the wind blowing by his ears was gentle. Ming Tianyan looked slightly sideways: "I wonder if you have some information."

"What news?" Lin Su said.

"The arrival of the new temple master is very subtle. The palaces in the temple only gave symbolic congratulations. In the next three days, only very few people came to see him."

"So, we will come to see you today." Lin Su said.

Ming Tianyan sighed softly: "We came to see him, seemingly to give him recognition. In fact, it may backfire and make his path narrower in the end."

"Zhang Weikong is a very special character. Although he seems to have no label, everyone in the temple still consciously or unconsciously regards him as the strength of our faction. If this seemingly respectful, In fact, if the isolation situation continues, Mr. Zhang may soon feel lonely walking alone, so we are here today to broaden his path!"

Ming Tianyan's eyes flickered slightly: "Broaden the road? How to broaden it?"

"Binding the will of the temple and forming an unprecedented consensus was the first thing he did as the temple leader. After this incident, his path merged with the mainstream of the temple."

Ming Tianyan suddenly stopped: "Western Expedition? Really?"

"yes!"

Ming Tianyan's chest rose and fell gently: "The Western Expedition! It is indeed the Western Expedition! I have thought about how your Western Expedition will start. I imagined that you might bind the seven countries and thirteen states, and even bind the major cultivation sects. But, I still didn’t expect that you would tie up the temple.”

"The Western Expedition is the biggest war in this world. It can even be said to be the only heavyweight war before the unintentional catastrophe. Without the participation of the temple, it will be impossible to accomplish this!"

"Yes! Without the participation of the Holy Temple, there would be no distribution of military merits. There is insufficient reason for countries to send troops, and the enthusiasm of various countries is not high. Only by binding the Holy Temple can we preside over the overall situation in the name of the Holy Temple, distribute the military merits, and make this Western Expedition , has become the consensus of all human beings in the world..." Ming Tianyan said: "But this kind of binding can only be achieved if the structure of the temple changes drastically."

"That's why I took Burial State as my plan and started a change in the structure of the temple!"

Ming Tianyan's heart was really agitated...

She had never underestimated him, but she still underestimated him again and again...

The trip to Burial State refreshed her knowledge again and again...

At first, she thought it was just the little rascal who was itching in his lower body and wanted to meet the little wife he had settled in the mortal world but had never tasted.

Later she learned that this was to give Guancheng a stable rear area.

Later, she realized that this was just an introduction, and the key was to point the sword at the poet.

In the end, she discovered that pointing the sword at the Poet was still an introduction, and the key was to change the structure of the temple.

Changing the layout of the temple, an eternal great undertaking, should theoretically be the end point of any chess game, but it is not the end point for him. He wants to gather the consensus of the entire human race, connect the great cause of the Western Expedition that was interrupted thousands of years ago, and completely drive out the aliens and demons. Get out of this world.

The Western Expedition was the biggest war in this world.

And it's not just war.

War is just war.

The Western Expedition was not just about fighting.

It also has governance!

The biggest management of the land outside the pass is to build a Confucian temple. The establishment of the Confucian temple means that the human race has truly occupied it and can effectively prevent the demon race from counterattacking.

Therefore, the great cause of the Western Expedition requires the participation of the Holy Temple - because building a Confucian Temple is the prerogative of the Holy Temple, and it is a privilege that gathers the consensus of all saints. No saint has the right to build a Confucian Temple, only the Holy Temple agrees with it. can be built.

Therefore, Lin Su's grand plan to change the structure of the temple was ultimately to gather the consensus of the temple and cooperate with the Western Expedition to truly turn the 100,000-mile Demonic Territory on this side of the Wuxin Sea into a territory controllable by the human race.

Only in this way can the human defense line of this world be reached at the Wuxin coast.

When the Wuxin catastrophe really breaks out, the battlefield is set in that area to effectively ensure that this kind of war, which can destroy thousands of miles of land at every turn, will not affect hundreds of billions of people in the seven countries and thirteen states.

Ming Tianyan pondered for a long time: "The great cause of the Western Expedition was to take back the Demonic Territory of 100,000 miles in one go. Bing Zun also made this attempt. In the end... on the eve of success, the Middle Way collapsed!"

"Yes, thousands of years ago, the human race marched westward and swept across the 80,000-mile Demonic Territory with overwhelming force. They built 3,000 Confucian temples. However, the military strategists changed and the middle path collapsed. History is always repeating itself, but history will also continue to repeat itself. rewrite!"

"You have changed history, and you are constantly changing history. Okay, let's change this history again!" Ming Tianyan said: "Let's go!"

The two of them walked up through the lake with the waves at their feet. In front of them was the main peak of the palace.

Under the main peak of the palace, several gatekeepers stared at Lin Su and Ming Tianyan and bowed slightly: "Lin Changxing, Elder Ming, why are you here?"

"Please see the Lord of the Palace!"

"Please wait!"

A piece of information was sent to the palace master Zhang Weikong, who smiled faintly: "Please enter the meeting hall!"

The meeting hall.

A place to discuss business.

It is not a private place. In addition to Zhang Weikong himself, there are seventeen top elders. What a coincidence is that there is one person on each path among these seventeen top elders.

Perhaps this is not a coincidence, but the result of the temple's long-term game and compromise.

There are 300 members in the Elder Council. In the early stage, there are 22 top elders, the palace master, who is also the chief elder, four deputy palace masters, who are also the second elders, and the remaining seventeen people, who are the top elders. Now that there is no deputy hall master, all the top elders stand on tiptoe and stretch their necks. However, Zhang Weikong seems to have no intention of appointing a deputy hall master, so so far, there are only eighteen top elders in the team.

This current situation of leaving the deputy palace master undecided is a special setting in the current situation.

Why does it have to be set like this?

Just because of human bad nature.

The team of top elders is not so easy to lead. Each of these people is a high-level quasi-sage. There is basically no way up. If placed in a modern unit, they are typical senior veterans. For such people, the top leaders are the most troublesome. He has made no mistakes and you can't take him down. He is senior and very tough. You have no reason to deduct his salary. If you want to seduce him, you have no bait - you can't tell them that you still have a chance to become a saint. Bar?

Perhaps the only bait is the title of "Deputy Palace Master".
