Chapter 2069 [Three Saints of Peacock]
At this time, it was the darkest moment before dawn, and at this moment, it was also the time when all forces were about to move and the storm was surging.
It is only because, although it cannot be said that Xu Lang directly destroyed the entire Emperor clan, Xu Lang played a key role in it and to a large extent became the executioner of all forces in the second-tier country who used him to destroy the Emperor clan, and inevitably became the key target for other major forces in the second-tier country to unite and strangle.
Xu Lang naturally knew this and knew from the very beginning that he would be exploited. Therefore, when he came to the head of the Emperor's clan, he did not start a massacre, just to leave a way out for himself, and he did not want to be exploited.
However, the shrewd Xu Lang knew even if he did not kill people, the Emperor's clan would still be wiped out. It would be strange if the Emperor's clan internal conflicts and external enemies were eyeing him.
Xu Lang also knew that no matter whether he killed someone or not, he would become the target of public criticism. The Chinese forces would never give up in the second-tier domestic anti-Japanese war.
What Xu Lang didn't know was that the enemies he faced were far more than this.
Just as the old monk Mingde left Lizhi Villa, he was on his way to the city, he suddenly met an old monk and blocked his way.
The old monk Mingde had no choice but to jump down. After seeing the master, he was shocked and hurried over, bowed and said, "Disciple Mingde, please see the master uncle!"
The master also jumped and laughed: "Mingde, get up. Seeing that you are in a hurry, I don't know where you are coming from and where you are going?"
The old monk Mingde hurriedly said, "Report to the Master Uncle, my disciples are investigating the case of dismemberment in the suburbs of Kyoto recently. I wonder why the Master Uncle appeared here? Haven't you been guarding the shrine?"
The master uncle heard the words of the old monk Mingde, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew that Mingde was deliberately avoiding the important things and not telling the truth. He was clearly asking him where he came from and where he went, but he was talking about him.
The master uncle laughed and said, "Mingde, I came for this matter. Although my duty is to guard the shrine, in recent times, the country has been in trouble and people are uneasy, so I naturally cannot sit idly by and watch.
By the way, you haven’t told your uncle yet where you came from and where you went?”
This time, the master asked again bluntly. He knew that Mingde, a disciple, was not good at lying. If he asked bluntly, he might tell the truth.
This master uncle is not the direct uncle of the old monk Mingde, because the master uncle's lineage is the Peacock Master's lineage back then. In other words, he is the disciple of Master Peacock Master who killed Master Jianzhen. Although Mingde is the second person, he is the disciple of Master Jianzhen.
What kind of masters will teach you what kind of disciples? The disciples and grandchildren of Master Jianzhen's lineage only have goodness in their hearts and Buddha, who firmly believe that "there is a difference in the country, and there is no boundary in Buddhism." The Peacock's lineage is actually wearing the cloak of Buddhism, but in the bones, they are lackeys of the state machine, with ulterior motives and have long violated Buddhist teachings.
However, with the murder of Master Jianzhen, his network was sparsely populated and few were left. They were excluded and suppressed. Some people refused to even take in regular temples and had to hide in the deep mountains and forests to practice.
The old monk Mingde has high martial arts and Buddhism and is older, so he can take in regular temples. Otherwise, he would probably have to fall into a foreign land.
The "Master Uncle" in front of him is from the lineage of Master Peacock. He also has two junior brothers, the second and third uncles of Mingde. These three old monks are also called "Three Saints of Peacock". Their magical names are "Great Sage", "Two Saints" and "Three Saints". Their Buddhist cultivation is not high, but their martial arts cultivation is extremely high. No one knows how profound their skills are. Moreover, the three of them are obsessed with working for state organs. For many years, they have followed the order of the ancestor Master Peacock to serve the country. Since the establishment of the "Jingguo Divine Toilet", the Three Saints of Peacock have been responsible for guarding them.
The Peacock Master's lineage has always had a secret task, which is to find the relics left by Master Jianzhen at that time. It is because, since Master Jianzhen passed away, no monk in the second Buddhist community has the ability to leave relics after his death.
Not all Buddhist monks will leave relics after their death. Only those who have truly attained enlightenment are qualified. Since Master Jianzhen was killed, it is rare to hear from the Second Buddhist community that any master left relics after his death, because their Buddha nature is too not simple.
Therefore, the relic left by Master Jianzhen that year has become the object of secret competition among the two Buddhist circles. As long as you get the relic, it can prolong your life at the least, and at the worst, it can help them successfully practice Buddhism. Even if they are sold to people in power in the country, they will also receive huge rewards.
This is the reason why this master uncle appeared here, just because they all knew that Mr. Mingde was the direct lineage of Master Jianzhen, and he guessed that he should know some of the whereabouts of Mr. Jianzhen’s relics.
The rumor that "Yang Guifei was greedy for youthful beauty and harmed Master Jianzhen to obtain the relics" was fabricated by Master Peacock's lineage. The purpose was to guide Master Jianzhen's lineage to join the queue for Yang Guifei. As long as Yang Guifei is found, the relics are also found.
The old monk Mingde naturally knew this, so the master uncle asked him where he came from, so he deliberately avoided the topic, did not want to lie, and did not want to betray Yang Guifei.
At this time, when he heard the master's uncle ask him directly where he came from again, he still refused to answer directly, but asked: "Master uncle, I have something unknown to you. I hope the master uncle will give me some advice. At that time, was it really Yang Guifei from China who came from China who harmed his disciple's master Jianzhen?"
When the master heard this, he was obviously stunned. He knew that Mingde must have known something. He knew that this guy would definitely not tell him the truth directly.
After thinking about it, the master uncle slowly walked towards the old monk Mingde and laughed: "Mingde, why did you ask this? This matter is naturally true. You and I are both monks, and monks don't lie. Are you..."
As the master said, he approached the old monk Mingde's body. However, at this moment, Mingde never expected that while he was not paying attention, the master actually hit him with a killer and knocked him away, and instantly he vomited blood and hit the stone wall in the distance.
Mingde said something bad, and hurriedly stood up with great difficulty, intending to fight back against the master uncle. However, his body suddenly floated up, and in an instant, he lost consciousness. He didn't know what happened later, and this was his last bit of consciousness.
The master was standing on the ground, spreading his hands with his hands and spreading them upwards, as if he was pushing the old monk Mingde's body with an invisible and powerful force. Moreover, he was chanting a spell in his mouth. After a while, he saw that the old monk Mingde's body had quickly rotated several circles in the air, and then suddenly stopped, spreading his limbs, like a dead fish, without moving.
As if the master was always chanting mantras, soon, the master suddenly opened his eyes and said slowly: "Mingde, Master Uncle asked you, where did you go just now?"
The master used a kind of evil technique derived from Buddhist martial arts, called soul control technique, which can control a person's mind.
The master uncle has high magic power, and Mingde is no match for him at all. Under the control of soul control technique, he slowly replied: "I went to Lizhi Villa."
The master asked again, "Where do what?"
Mingde immediately said, "Go and find Yang Guifei, and the relics are on her."
After getting such an answer, the Master Uncle was very surprised. This was exactly the answer he wanted. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha, okay, okay, my good junior, you have helped Uncle Uncle Uncle! Your value is gone, and you should go to the place you should go."
Then, the master uncle suddenly let go and put the body of the old monk Mingde on the ground. He then hit the old monk Mingde on the forehead with a palm, quickly absorbing Mingde's skills, and quickly absorbing his skills. Old monk Mingde was already hundreds of years old, and he lost all his skills by relying on his skills to support him. He instantly became a mummy and completely hanged up.
Immediately, the master uncle followed the direction where Mingde came as fast as possible, and soon arrived at Lizhi Villa.
However, when he arrived, the Lizhi Villa was empty. What he didn't know was that Yang Guifei and Mei Gu went to the Cangnan family.
At this moment, the two junior brothers used spells to contact him, saying that something big happened, and summoned him to turn around quickly. He immediately met with the two junior brothers as fast as possible.
…………………
Kyoto, inside the Cangnan family mansion.
After Mei Gu left, Cangnan's husband urgently summoned all his friends in his circle of friends, all of whom were committed to eradicating Xu Lang, and they were all people with great power.
