Chapter 298 Anyone who dares to enter Wulou Temple… will die!

“Masters, you usually meditate and worship Buddha. Could it be that you are also greedy for the “Yangzhou Treasure House”?”

Chu Yuan’s expression remained unchanged. He glanced at the Four Patriarchs of Buddhism and the four great Vajra monks led by the abbot of Jingnian Zen Temple, Le Kong.

It seems that Buddhism has taken action against him.

It is not just the Jingnian Zen Temple, but also includes the masters of Buddhism and the Four Patriarchs of Buddhism.

Chu Yuan didn’t know whether Cihang Jingzhai was involved or not, but he felt that even if Cihang Jingzhai didn’t participate openly, it must have secretly condoned or even participated in this matter.

After all, Cihang Jingzhai is also a part of Buddhism, and is one of the two leaders of the white way in the martial arts world, along with Jingnian Zen Temple.

In Chu Yuan’s mind, he recalled what Cao Yinglong had said to him before he died.

The struggle between the forces of Buddhism, Demon, Taoism and so on is, to put it bluntly, a struggle for the orthodoxy of Taoism.

Because of his appearance, the founding of the Qingcheng Sect, and the rise of Taoism, the Buddhist sect had already felt a sense of crisis, so the Buddhist sect could not help it and finally took action against him.

“Let’s put the matter of the treasure house aside for now. Some time ago, we went to Cihang Jingzhai to visit Master Fanzhai. Master Fanzhai said that Taoist Qingyang forcibly took away a treasure that originally belonged to Cihang Jingzhai. Is that true or not?”

Among the four patriarchs of Buddhism, the old monk Di Xin, who was the leader, stood up and said.

When Chu Yuan heard this, he immediately confirmed that it seemed that Cihang Jingzhai was also involved in the Buddhist attack on him this time.

Chu Yuan was not surprised. After all, he did snatch the “He Shi Bi” from Cihang Jingzhai. Although he agreed to Cihang Jingzhai’s three conditions, it was still unknown whether Cihang Jingzhai could swallow its anger.

It is understandable that Cihang Jingzhai is dissatisfied with him.

What’s more, Cihang Jingzhai is a member of the Buddhist community. If the Buddhist community decides to take action against him, Cihang Jingzhai will have no choice but to follow.

The reason why the Buddhist sect took action against him was not just a simple dispute over interests, but a dispute over the orthodoxy.

“good.”

Chu Yuan admitted generously.

It was indeed he who did this, and he admitted it very straightforwardly.

He seldom robbed others, but the He Shi Bi was an exception. It was a rare treasure that could be used by his three disciples to widen their meridians.

Since it was useful to him, he just took it.

“Cihang Jingzhai is the leader of our Buddhist sect and has a very high status in the martial arts world. The young Taoist priest is also a well-known figure in the martial arts world. Don’t you think that he is too disrespectful to our Buddhist sect by robbing us by force?”

Dao Xin also spoke.

Chu Yuan looked at the Four Patriarchs of Buddhism who walked up to him and surrounded him with an aggressive aura, as well as the abbot of Jingnian Zen Temple, Kong, who led a group of monks who surrounded him with the Four Vajra, and the Demon Marshal Zhao Deyan who had just had a tentative fight with Chu Yuan but suffered a loss, and who felt relieved when he saw a group of monks jump out and surround Chu Yuan, and the group of martial arts masters who were hiding in the dark and watching.

Chu Yuan was silent for a moment and said, “No need to say more. Whether you are here for the “Yang Gong Treasure House” or to help Cihang Jingzhai regain its reputation, or you are an old rival in the martial arts world who has a grudge against me, I will accept your attack today, whether it is a fair duel or a siege.”

“But…” Chu Yuan paused, and suddenly emphasized: “Before the sun sets today, no one is allowed to enter Wulou Temple. Anyone who dares to enter Wulou Temple…”

“die!”

The five energies circulated among Chu Yuan’s internal organs, the power of the five thunders was brewing, and the power of the five thunders with silver and purple appeared and wandered around his body.

Accompanied by the deafening roar of thunder and lightning, all the masters hiding around Wulou Temple felt a chill in their hearts.

“Young Taoist priest wants to face all the martial arts masters around Wulou Temple by himself. You are really brave.”

An old monk with a sallow face, wearing a yellow monk’s robe and a skinny figure, clasped his hands together and said.

The other party was Master Jiaxiang of the Three Treatise School. A hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Although Chu Yuan’s words were a bit too arrogant.

But he still admired the other party’s courage.

“As expected of a young genius, this Taoist Qingyang actually wants to challenge all the masters around Wulou Temple by himself. He is truly arrogant and reckless.”

In an ordinary courtyard not far away, on the trunk of a three-meter-tall locust tree with lush branches and leaves, stood a middle-aged scholar, a handsome middle-aged man, and a young man.

These three people were none other than Song Zhi, Song Lu and Song Shidao from the Lingnan Song family who had rushed to Chang’an City from Lingnan upon learning that Yang Gong’s treasure house had appeared.

Li Tang might have known long ago that a major battle would break out around Wulou Temple, and had evacuated the people within a radius of two or three miles in advance.

It is precisely because of this that they can occupy the courtyards of ordinary people so casually.

We found a perfect spot to watch the show under this locust tree.

The person who just spoke was Song Zhi himself.

“But Second Uncle, the Taoist Qingyang, does have the capital to be arrogant and rebellious.”

Song Shidao said from the side.

“Yes, he does have the capital to be arrogant. Even Zhu Yuyan, a martial arts master and demon master who is as famous as my brother, died at his hands. So it seems that my brother’s decision to ask us not to fall out with Taoist Qingyang and Qingcheng Sect was very correct.”

Song Zhi nodded.

Ever since the eldest brother Song Que went into seclusion in the Modao Hall, all matters of the Song clan in Lingnan, big or small, basically fell into his hands.

It was precisely because he handled all matters of the Lingnan Song clan in an orderly manner that people in the underworld said that he was “Song Zhi” with unparalleled wisdom and was a real old fox.

But because of this, he would basically not leave Lingnan unless he had something to do.

He came in person when Yang Gong’s treasure house was unearthed, which shows how much he values ​​Taoist Chu Yuan.

“Fortunately, there was no falling out. This Taoist Qingyang’s martial arts is probably enough to be on par with the three great masters. If there had been a falling out, our Lingnan Song clan would have had another great enemy.”

Song Shidao also deeply felt the same way.

Although he, as a son of the Song clan in Lingnan, had been humiliated on Mount Qingcheng before, fortunately he did not cause a war between the Song clan and the Qingcheng sect.

In fact, after he and Song Lu went down the mountain and left Sichuan and Shu and returned to Lingnan, he told his second uncle Song Zhihou what happened in Qingcheng Mountain.

His second uncle Song Zhi was more inclined to use the navy of the Lingnan Song clan to block the waterways between Shu and the Central Plains, in order to preserve the reputation of the Lingnan Song clan in the eyes of the world.

However, when his second uncle went to the Modao Hall to ask for permission from his father Song Que, his father rejected it.

unknown reason.

Now it seems that his father really had foresight.

“Uncle, look…”

At this time, Song Shidao looked at the group of martial arts masters not far away. Seeing that someone had stood out, they finally couldn’t help it anymore and showed up one after another.

“The disciples of the Evil Emperor, You Niaojuan, Ding Jiuchong, Zhou Laotan, Jin Huanzhen, the masters of the Demon Sect, Fat Jia Anlong, the Heavenly Monarch Xi Ying, Bi Chen Rong Fengxiang, Ziwu Sword Zuo Youxian, and the Western Turkic State Master Yun Shuai…”

Song Zhi looked at the masters who appeared one by one. He said their names and gradually fell silent.

Because these people are all famous masters of magic in the martial arts world. “It seems that this time, the Buddhist sect and the demon sect are going to join forces. This is a rare thing.”

Song Lu sighed.

……

Compared to the tense situation outside Wulou Temple.

It is very quiet inside the Wulou Temple.

The main hall, the Sutra Library, the Lecture Hall, the Cross Courtyard, the Monks’ Quarters…

There were only a few heavy troops, and it looked like it was heavily guarded.

But when you actually walk inside, you will find that the temple is only heavily guarded on the surface.

At the same time, two or three miles west of Yuema Bridge not far from Wulou Temple, in a quiet and beautiful courtyard, Li Shimin, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Tuo Fenghan and others had already changed into casual clothes and appeared here quietly. Accompanying them were Li Xiuning and his fiancé Chai Shao.

This is Xiji Garden, which belongs to the Dugu clan, one of the four major clans in the world.

An old woman holding a dragon-headed cane, followed by a petite girl in black warrior clothes, hunched over in the courtyard, said to Li Shimin: “Second Prince, everything has been arranged in the garden, and we have also found the entrance to the treasure house according to the treasure map.”

Li Shimin looked at the girl behind the old woman and said, “This is the old lady’s granddaughter, Dugu Feng, right?”

You Chuhong said: “Yes, this time I will trouble the Second Prince to take care of my granddaughter.”

Li Shimin pointed at Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Tuo Fenghan beside him and said, “Madam, they are my junior brothers, and they are traveling with us this time.”

You Chuhong looked at Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Tuo Fenghan beside Li Shimin and said with a smile: “I heard about the Twin Dragons of Yangzhou! Since they are disciples of Taoist Qingyang and Taoist Kunyang, and come from a famous sect like Qingcheng Sect, their future is probably limitless.”

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were both very happy to be praised by You Chuhong.

Xu Ziling suppressed his joy and said modestly, “Thank you, old lady.”

While Kou Zhongze was happy, his eyes were fixed on Dugu Feng behind You Chuhong. He and his brother Xu Ziling had been hanging out in the Jiangnan area of ​​Yangzhou. Apart from the Korean woman beside his master and Shi Feixuan, the successor of Cihang Jingzhai, whom he had met once, he had never seen a girl from a wealthy family as beautiful as Dugu Feng.

“Ahem, speaking of which, this time I have to thank Master for guessing that there might be spies around my father as soon as I got the Yangzhou treasury blueprints, and I came up with this strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west!”

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin coughed deliberately, reminding his junior brother Kou Zhong not to lose his manners, while his face was full of admiration, and his words were full of praise for Chu Yuan.

It turned out that as soon as Chu Yuan got the blueprint of Yangzhou Treasure House from Lu Miaozi, he discovered that the real entrance to Yangzhou Treasure House was not in Wulou Temple.

According to the drawings, there is not just one Yangzhou treasure house.

When Lu Miaozi was designing the treasury, in addition to the real Yangzhou treasury, he also designed three smaller fake treasuries around the Yangzhou treasury.

The fake treasure house is full of traps that can take lives. If you are not careful and enter the fake treasure house, you will definitely die.

There is indeed an entrance to the Wulou Temple, but it is the entrance to a fake treasure house.

Chu Yuan knew that Li Yuan had a spy, Eunuch Wei, planted by the Yinkui Sect, by his side, so he simply took advantage of the situation and gave Li Yuan the location of the fake treasure house.

In fact, at the best moment to take the treasure, he secretly told Li Shimin and his disciples the truth of the matter and the location of the real treasure.

Those people related to Li Shimin, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling who entered Wulou Temple before were just people who looked similar to them found in the army, in order to deliberately confuse people.

In fact, Li Shimin and others were all wearing ordinary clothes and quietly came to the real entrance of the Yangzhou Treasury.

In the Xiji Garden of the Dugu clan!
Just recently, after the Li clan captured the city of Chang’an, the Dugu clan defected to the Li Tang clan.

Li Shimin went to the Dugu clan’s head, You Chuhong, in person to discuss the matter. After You Chuhong learned that the location of Yang Guang’s treasure house, which had been widely rumored recently, was actually in Xijiyuan, the Dugu clan’s manor, she expressed that she and the Dugu clan would fully cooperate.

However, she also had a condition, which was that Li Shimin had to bring his granddaughter Dugu Feng with him on this treasure hunt.

In this way, the Dugu clan, which had just defected to Li Tang and whose relationship with Li Tang was not yet solid and close, was now initially bound together.

Li Shimin naturally agreed.

At this moment, a rumbling sound like thunder came from the direction of Wulou Temple.

Everyone’s eyes turned towards the direction of Wulou Temple.

“It seems that Taoist Qingyang has already fought with those martial artists. This time, everyone in the world is eyeing Yang Gong’s treasure house. It is said that several masters have come. Although Taoist Qingyang has peerless martial arts and is also a master, it is very stressful to hold off these masters on his own. You should go and get the treasure as soon as possible and put an end to this matter.”

You Chuhong said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin had already informed the Dugu clan of the entrance to Yang Gong’s treasure house.

If Li Tang gets Yang Gong’s treasure house this time, it will be a great achievement for the Dugu clan who just defected to Li Tang.

But if someone gets there first, the Dugu clan will also be responsible, and it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold in the Li Tang in the future.

“Right.”

Li Shimin said.

“I would like to ask several fellow apprentices to help me.”

Li Shimin turned around and said to Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Tuo Fenghan.

“Senior brother, don’t worry.”

“Master has already told us that.”

“This time we will definitely help Brother and seize Yang Gong’s treasure house.”

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Tuo Fenghan spoke one after another.

“Don’t worry, my three junior brothers. As long as we, Li Tang, obtain Yang Gong’s treasure house and solve our urgent needs, neither Li Tang nor I will treat you three junior brothers unfairly.”

Li Shimin promised.

Being accepted as a disciple by Chu Yuan and his uncle Taoist Kunyang, no matter what his previous background was, his future achievements would surely be extraordinary. Li Shimin was interested in getting closer to Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Tuo Fenghan.

“Brother, it’s too polite of you to say that!”

“We are brothers from the same sect, and we are all family.”

“Yes, we are both fellow disciples and brothers.”

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Tuo Fenghan said with some dissatisfaction.

“It’s my brother’s fault.”

Seeing that the three were dissatisfied with what he had just said, Li Shimin smiled.

The group found the backyard of Xijiyuan in the blueprint and discovered an ancient well in the north.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who had practiced the Yin-Yang human body diagram in “The Secret of Immortality” and had the ability to hold their breath, volunteered to jump into the well. After confirming that the entrance was in the well, they popped their heads out to tell everyone, and everyone jumped into the well one after another and entered the Yangzhou treasure house.
