"Tianjiao has been established for a long time, more than 30 years ago. It was originally formed by some displaced people in the south of the Yangtze River who had lost their fields and lost their jobs. Until the leader of the old man passed by here, he transformed it into Taoism, and preached in the mountains for more than ten days. The congregation thought that it was a god who descended to earth and elected him as the leader. After that, the old man changed the 'Datonghui' to the 'Heavenly Religion', saying that I will wait. It is no longer a bandit in the green forest, but a new sect with Buddhism and Taoism. First, it avoids the suspicion of rebellion. Second, it preaches and preaches in all corners of the world. Many people believe in it. Brothers, if there is an emergency, it is really convenient to take care of it.”
Inside Tongzhou City, Huang Qian pointed forward with a smile while walking.
"Lord Zhang, the front is the Tongzhou branch, and it was built in a Taoist temple according to the old rules of decades ago. Brothers are waiting in the back mountain."
Zhang Zhe looked up and saw that it was indeed a Taoist temple.
The west side of Tongzhou City is a natural barrier. Although the mountain is not high, it is also somewhat beautiful.
It is the old pine that has passed through the winter.
A gate was built at the foot of the mountain, and the words "Shangqingguan" were hung on the top. The plaques and buildings were a little outdated, and they were old. Even the outside looked very dilapidated.
After watching Xiaobao drive Jiang Xuening to the Yongding pharmacy to see a doctor, Zhang Zhe has been a little absent-minded, and his dull face has a slightly solemn look.
Seeing the gym, he just nodded.
The origin of the Heavenly Sect is very mysterious among the people, but in the eyes of a court official like him who knows its details, it is not very mysterious.
What Huang Qian said was roughly right.
In the early years, Tianjiao was a "Great Harmony Association" formed by refugees who had lost their land, in order to fight against the squires or rob the traveling merchants in order to gain a place to live. But about fifteen years after the first emperor ascended the throne, that is, the fifteenth year of Dezheng, there was a small incident in Buddhism and Taoism.
Taoism is a local sect that has been prevalent in China for a long time.
Unfortunately, Buddhism was introduced from the west more than 200 years ago, and in the turbulent times, there were countless believers in the north and south of the river, and they faintly did not lose to Taoism. The two temple-building temples and Qi-jian's Qi-jian constantly compete for the teaching and the boundaries, and there are frictions with each other.
By the time the emperor ascended the throne, Buddhism had become a common practice.
At that time, Buddhism was headed by the White Horse Temple. The first emperor even visited the White Horse Temple to pray for blessings and incense. No. "Zhenyi", everyone is called "Zhenyi Taoist", and it is also a master channel method.
Unexpectedly, that year, the two religions competed and made a big noise.
The two religions both wanted to compete for status, so the monk Yuanji and the Taoist Zhenyi made an appointment to discuss Taoism at the foot of Mount Tai, each fighting Buddhism and Taoism, and competed against each other. For a time, practitioners and believers gathered, and they all gathered to listen to the two preaching.
As time passed, only a few words were left of the grand occasion, but the final result was widely circulated—
The Taoist side of Taoism suffered a fiasco.
There are rumors that the monk Yuanji was talking about Taoism with the Taoist Zhenyi for a few days, and he exposed many Taoist temples on the spot and kidnapped the girls, hiding their filth and filth, like a prostitute. It is a "demon way", and the practice makes it manifest.
Everyone was in an uproar.
Sanqingguan was smashed clean, and the Taoist Zhenyi fled, and has since disappeared. After this battle, the prestige of the monk Yuanji soared, and the incense of the White Horse Temple became more and more prosperous.
However, what few people know is that the True Yi Daoist did not really disappear.
He changed his body and changed his name to a layman, taking the meaning of "everything rests" and calling him "Wan Xiuzi". He saw a good time when the people were struggling to live, and preached at the "Datonghui". Tao, created his own "Tianjiao", and made a comeback.
Its teaching is based on the purpose of "Great Harmony in the World", mutual assistance at home and abroad, all brothers are brothers, so it is widely praised.
The world is dominated by poor people, and they are all delighted to hear the teachings.
Therefore, it took a few years to become a climate. Twenty years ago, King Pingnan's rebellion was even more assisted by him, and he was able to hit the capital in one fell swoop, almost overthrowing the dragon chair of Emperor Dagan.
Zhang Zazi didn't know what the truth of the Dao was back then.
It can be deduced from common sense that the "True Yi Daoist" who is now called "Wan Xiuzi", who is currently the head of the Heavenly Sect, must still remember the grievances of the past. The monk Yuanji assisted Shen Lang to ascend to the throne four years ago, and the credit also overwhelmed Xie Wei, and because of his high reputation in Buddhism, he was sealed as a national teacher.
It is not uncommon for Tianjiao to compare itself to Buddhism and Taoism, to divide the rudder dove into the magpie's nest, and hide it in temples and Taoist temples.
I just don't know how many dangers are waiting for people to set foot in it.
Almost all of the people of the Heavenly Sect accompanying them now come from Tongzhou Branch.
The fugitives from the prison followed, with apprehension on their faces.
In the winter, Xiao Dingfei was shaking a gold-packed folding fan in his hand, but he looked around. Although his facial features were handsome and romantic, he felt a little restless in his expression.
He looked at the gate of the temple.
There were several Taoist boys guarding outside, all of them were smart, and they passed in when they saw them coming and going from a distance.
Xiao Dingfei felt the soles of his feet sink like lead.
Seeing that he was about to reach the steps of the Taoist Temple, he rolled his eyes, and suddenly said "ouch", raised his hand to cover his left rib, and said that he had lung pain and he had to see a doctor. Unexpectedly, Feng Mingyu knew his virtue long ago. Although he didn't know why he pretended to act before he came to the helm, he kept in mind the instructions given by the leader to look after him, and he didn't buy it at all: "Master Wu is watching. Here, since the son is so uncomfortable, why not go to the old man first to see for the son, and then find a doctor for the son, how about it?"
Xiao Dingfei's face suddenly turned green.
When he looked left and right, he saw that they were all members of the Heavenly Sect, and it was impossible to leave.
In the end, he could only pinch his nose and enter the Taoist temple with the crowd.
This "Shangqing Temple" is a local Taoist temple in Tongzhou. Since the decline of Buddhism and Taoism and Taoism many years ago, the Taoist priests in it have gradually disappeared, and it is cheaper for the heavenly religion to occupy it as a nest. .
Daotong greeted him at the door, but when they met, he said, "Congratulations to Lord Huang Xiang".
With a wave of his hand and a move of his foot, he led people in.
It looked deserted from the outside, but there was still a door open to hear the voices of people inside, laughing loudly. Zhang Zhe followed Huang and Feng through the gate, and saw a flat ground outside the broad hall, crowded with people in different clothes, but the same sturdy grass. Dozens of tanks of spirits are lined up at the bottom of the corridor. In the winter, the smell of wine wafts out, as if to set this Taoist temple on fire, full of pungency!
The Taoist boy who led them in shouted: "Huang Xiangzhu and Feng Zuoxiang are back!"
The door was silent for a while.
Immediately, a loud laugh that shook the eardrums came from the hall, and people followed. It was a middle-aged man with a fit body, with a black beard on his chin, wearing a black robe, and his steps were steady and vigorous. , his eyes were shining, and he went straight to Feng Mingyu and others to greet him: "Hahaha, Mr. Feng and Lord Huang Xiang have finally returned, congratulations!"
This is Wu Feng, the helmsman of the Tianjiao Tongzhou branch.
Feng Mingyu and Huang Qian immediately humbled themselves: "It's all the brothers who share the helm, and I don't dare to take credit."
Wu Feng glanced at the "extra" people and was very satisfied: "This time, not only did we rescue the brothers in our church, but also brought these many righteous people from prison, and helped the forces of our church. Contribute to the growth. This credit will be reported, and the head teacher will definitely reward it!"
The group of people in the prison, headed by Meng Yang, were indeed freed from the prison by the grace of the Heavenly Sect. They followed the Heavenly Sect all the way to Tongzhou, and they did plan to join the Heavenly Sect.
But now I haven't even said a word, and I have asked them, and said that it is "adding bricks and mortar to the forces of the Heavenly Sect", as if they came to defect.
This made many people secretly frown.
The gang of Jiangyang robbers are really not good people. They had some quarrels with the Catholics when they came. Now it is really uncomfortable to hear Wu Feng's words.
Meng Yang stood behind him, a smile on his lips.
His eyes swayed from the Tianjiao group and fell on Zhang Zhe.
Zhang Zheren was in the thief's nest, but he didn't panic at all. He turned to look at Meng Yang, and after a while, he calmly closed his eyes and didn't respond.
Feng Mingyu took this opportunity to turn the topic to Zhang Zhe, and said with a smile: "Even I don't dare to take credit for this. I think the rudder master has heard that this time, in addition to our Tongzhou branch, Mr. Du Jun Strong aid has also been sent in the capital. Without the help of this Lord Zhang, I would not have been able to rescue people so smoothly, and maybe I would have been caught in a sinister ambush by the imperial court!"
Wu Feng then said "oh".
His eyes looked at Zhang Zhe, his eyes were shining, he hid a bit of exploration, but his face was bold and he said with hands: "I heard the name of Mr. Dujun in the past, but I never had the chance to see him. If you can see the adults today, you can also see Mr. He is an old man. Master Zhang is willing to serve the Heavenly Sect even when he is in the court. He really understands righteousness and bears the burden of humiliation! Wu Mou admires it!"
Jianghu people have the behavior of Jianghu people, but Zhang Zhe is not used to it, and he is not good at words, so he can't say anything with a few words of perfunctory humility.
Wu Feng didn't feel embarrassed either, so he just asked to pour the wine.
The people who were crowded and watched one by one raised the crude pottery bowls and shouted "reverence for heaven and earth, respect for Datong", and they drank three bowls with their necks raised, and they looked like they were arrogant and dry.
Zhang Zhe is also not used to drinking.
But in this situation, he couldn't refuse. He raised his head and drank three bowls with everyone, but he felt that the spirits had cut his throat, burned his heart and lungs, and he wanted to cough.
When everyone saw him, they applauded him.
Just after drinking, Feng Mingyu looked embarrassed and said, "Headmaster, there is something here, old man, I don't know whether to say it or not..."
After he finished speaking, he looked around.
Wu Feng understood and smiled: "Then go in and say, please!"
With a wave of his hand, he invited everyone to the temple.
In the hall, there are statues of the Patriarchs of the Sanqing Dynasty, with the top two seats. Wu Feng sat on the left one, and the right one was left to Xiao Dingfei.
The rest of the speakers took their seats.
Probably because of "Du Jun Shanren", Feng Mingyu and others asked Zhang Zhe to sit first on the bottom left. Others with seniority in the sect stayed behind the crowd or stood outside the temple gate. Meng Yang didn't have a seat, so he stood in the corner with his long hands and feet, his arms crossed, and looked at him with a weird smile on his lips.
It was just fine outside, but as soon as I entered the hall, it was inexplicably quiet.
This place is built on the mountain, and it is cold.
When it was quiet, there was a strange tension and serenity, and then looking around, the atmosphere had faintly changed.
Wu Feng then asked Feng Mingyu: "What's the trouble with the left minister?"
Feng Mingyu took out a page of rolled up paper from his sleeve, with small characters written on it, and a very special emblem of the distant mountain, only handed it to Wu Feng, and said with a beard, "This is the old man who lived outside Tongzhou city last night. The secret letter received, Wu Duozhu is also an old man in the sect, and I can see where this emblem comes from at a glance."
Wu Feng was shocked when he saw the emblem.
His voice trembled slightly and said, "It's actually a secret letter from Mr. Du Jun!"
Feng Mingyu smiled, but his eyes changed, and he glanced at Zhang Zhe, and said: "Exactly. It is known in the teaching that Mr. Du Jun and Mr. Gongyi are the right-hand man of the head of the teaching. Letter, the old man is a little bit incomprehensible."
Zhang Zhe noticed Feng Mingyu's gaze, his eyebrows were lowered, and he said nothing.
Wu Feng read the secret letter carefully, but his face changed three times.
Xiao Dingfei felt like he was sitting on a nail since he hit the top right and sat down. His ass was dishonest. a sudden.
He asked, "What did you write?"
Wu Feng's face was completely cold, and Wei Han's eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the hall, and then said: "Mr. secret letter to give instructions, this time in Beijing to rob the prison, the actions of the teaching were leaked ahead of time, and there are inner ghosts. And this inner ghost came back with the sect, and wants to be detrimental to my sect!"
"Inner ghost!"
With a "bang", Wu Feng's remarks came out of the whole hall, and the whole hall suddenly burst into flames!
Especially the people who came back from Beijing this time were even more shocked and looked at each other with suspicion and alertness in their eyes.
Feng Mingyu walked with everyone all the way. Although he had tried Zhang Zhe again and again, his doubts could not be erased, so he first attacked Zhang Zhe and smiled kindly: "Master Zhang has served under Mr. I came here for the purpose of robbery, do you know who this 'inner ghost' is?"
Zhang Zhe drank three bowls of wine, his temples throbbing.
With a solemn expression on his face, he sat upright and said, "Zhang had left the capital a few days earlier when he was ordered to assist in the prison robbery, but the secret letter came only last night. It is embarrassing for Lord Zuo to ask Zhang."
Feng Mingyu seemed to have anticipated what he said, and said, "Since Mr. Zhang is a good follower of Mr. Zhang, why did Mr. Zhang not mention the adult in his secret letter?"
Zhang Zhe narrowed his eyes: "The matter is urgent, what's the matter with Zhang?"
Feng Mingyu smiled and said, "Master Zhang should think clearly about what he says. My sister is sick. I taught Master Ginen to help me before I send someone to take care of her. If you don't treat each other with sincerity, it's really chilling!"
The words seem to be using Jiang Xuening as a threat!
It should be noted that the two people who accompanied Jiang Xuening to see the doctor were members of the Tianjiao sect. Xiaobao was young, and Feng Mingyu was afraid that he would not be able to keep his mouth shut, so he secretly told the two experts to tell them no matter what. Jiang Xuening controlled it and became an important bargaining chip in their hands.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Zhang Zhe's complexion changed slightly!
He was wearing a dark robe, one hand resting on the armrest of the seat, the other resting lightly on his knees, the lines of his long fingers curled hard and cold, and the corners of his brows and eyes were stained with condensed cold air for a moment.
He raised his eyes and looked at Feng Mingyu.
At this moment, Feng Mingyu somehow felt that his entire spine trembled, as if he had been struck by a boning knife, and he was horrified, and then he heard this person coldly say: "I wasn't sure about the whole way. After all, Zuo Xiang is often at the main rudder of Jinling, claiming to be in charge of the prison robbery on the order of the leader. However, Tongzhou already has Wu Ruozhu in charge, and there is no shortage of people in charge of the overall situation. Clear yourself, smear Zhang, and finally show your feet."
Feng Mingyu never expected that he would beat him upside down, so he stood up straight, his face was as red as a pig's liver, and he was furious: "Shu Zian dares to spit blood!"
The people in the hall could not help looking at each other.
Zhang Zhe was very calm, and only gently smoothed a fold on the hem of his robe, and said, "Zhang is an official of the imperial court, if he hadn't voted under the teacher's door and served the sect, why would he be in danger and Sharilu would come here? Muddy water? It’s all absurd in terms of emotion and reason.”
"you!"
Feng Mingyu was stunned, he couldn't believe Zhang Zhe, who was taciturn along the way, and every word at this moment was spitting swords! It looks peaceful, but in fact it hides all kinds of dangers!
Yes, if you want to find out the news, the imperial court can just send a little scoundrel.
Feng Mingyu was already a little confused.
He wanted to justify himself, but he couldn't sort out his thoughts for a while, and his body trembled when he was half buried in the ground, he just said: "I don't know who is at the head of Jinling, and a good Zhang Zhe will turn black and white! Wu! Rudder master, listen to the old man and arrest this cover first, but please send a letter to Mr. Du Jun to inquire about this matter, and this person will definitely reveal his true form!"
Feng Mingyu is indeed the number one figure in Jinling.
He thought he had said it himself, and Wu Feng should have done it.
Who wants to see no movement for a long time after finishing speaking, turned his head and looked, Wu Feng's hesitant eyes turned from him to Zhang Zhe, and from Zhang Zhe to him, but he looked embarrassed.
Feng Mingyu suddenly cried out in his heart.
OK.
Individuals have their own plans!
The main rudder is far away in Jinling, and Tongzhou is one south and one north. Although the Tongzhou sub-rudder is dispatched by the main rudder, it secretly monitors the movements in Beijing. But after all, the distance is too far, "will be subject to foreign military orders." Moreover, Tongzhou was too close to the capital, and Wu Feng had to listen to the commander's orders, but at the same time, he was afraid that he would be afraid of Du Jun Shanren's side. If Zhang Zhe is indeed a member of the Du Jun Mountain people, he will tie Zhang Zhe first and then send a letter to inquire, I am afraid that Du Jun will be angered.
Wu Feng also has his own scruples.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the arena was already tense, and everyone was looking at him, he couldn't help thinking over and over again, trying to ease the atmosphere: "There are so many people coming back from the prison robbery, so we shouldn't be in a hurry to come to a conclusion, I'm afraid we didn't catch the real inner ghost. , but it hurts the peace and is not worth it."
Zhang Zhe closed his eyes and said nothing. Outsiders saw that he was not guilty at all, and he really didn't look like a ghost in the court.
Where is Feng Mingyu willing to listen to Wu Feng's words again
In terms of his status in the teaching, he is actually a bit higher than Wu Feng. The words of the other party have angered him at this moment, and he will attack immediately when he finds the token around his waist.
However, at this moment when it was about to be triggered, a voice with little confidence rang from the side.
It was actually Xiao Dingfei, who played with fans for a long time at the top right.
His gold-sprinkled folding fan has been put away, and the handle of the fan lightly touches his well-defined lower jaw, his lips seem to be smiling, he coughs, and looks embarrassed: "What, Master Wu, Du, Can you lend me a look at Mr. Du Jun's secret letter?"
Everyone was stunned.
Who wouldn't think that this young man who escaped all the way to the mountains and waters was an embroidered pillow and a bag of grass
No one expected him to speak on such occasions.
At this time, he actually interjected to borrow Mr. Du Jun's secret letter for a look
Zhang Zhe suddenly recalled that Xiao Dingfei looked at his strange eyes when he first met outside the broken temple.
He glanced at Meng Yang in the corner without a trace.
Meng Yang stood still, his eyes swept across Zhang Zhe, but he made a mistake and paid attention to the expressions and movements of everyone in the field.
Wu Feng had heard of this Dingfei son in the sect, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Look at this..."
Xiao Dingfei's romantic peach blossom eyes narrowed: "Show me the secret letter, and I'll tell you who the ghost is."
Guan Nei was silent for a moment, then whispered.
Feng Mingyu was also stunned for a moment. He didn't know that neither he nor Wu Feng could see the depth of the secret letter, but Xiao Ding couldn't see the name.
But in the end, Xiao Dingfei's identity is different.
After Wu Feng thought about it, he handed over the secret letter.
Xiao Dingfei took it and opened it to take a closer look.
At this moment, the inside of the hall was suddenly quiet and one could hear the needle, and everyone's eyes fell on the swinger's face.
The secret letter was only half a page, but Xiao Dingfei read it for a long time.
Wu Feng, Feng Mingyu and others felt that their hearts were beating fast.
After a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Sir, how is it?"
Xiao Dingfei raised his head and folded the paper gently, but he looked at Zhang Zhe, pulled the corner of his lips at him, and said, "Master Zhang, I forgot to tell you on the way, not only did I see Du Jun, but also know that Sir never lived in the mountains."
The moment his voice fell, the corner of Zhang Zhe's eyes jumped.
Feng Mingyu suddenly laughed: "Okay, it really is you!"
Wu Feng shouted loudly, "Take it!"
There were people around who had already held their swords, and they slashed at Zhang Zhe as ordered.
Zhang Zhe frowned.
Seeing the knife approaching, he didn't move. In the slanted thorn, a white shadow burst out, and it was three points faster than anyone! I don't know where to grab the knife, and with my hands, I smashed a cleric who was closest to Zhang Zhe to the ground!
A sharp and ruthless knife slashed into the chest from the face, and a cavity of blood splattered!
The knife-wielding man seemed to be bathed in blood.
When Feng Mingyu saw it, he couldn't help but scream in horror, "Meng Yang!"
