Pawn Crossing the River

"Yinglong" took off, left the Lion City of Java, and headed for Shenglong Mansion of Dayu.

Walking in a straight line and flying at full speed, it only takes about an hour.

At this time, Shenglong Mansion was in chaos. Just outside the city, a huge sinkhole appeared out of thin air. Neither meteorites fell to the ground nor the earth shook. This sinkhole was half the size of Guijian Lake. It appeared so quietly, which was extremely strange.

Fortunately, the sinkhole was located in a remote and uninhabited place, so no casualties or property losses were caused. However, some insiders knew that there used to be a large tomb underneath this place, but now all the masonry structures have completely disappeared. Without saying a word, it was even expanded.

In other words, the tiankeng was expanded on the basis of this large tomb.

At the bottom of the tiankeng, there is a lake filled with blood. If the tiankeng is like a giant bowl, then this lake is the remaining water at the bottom of the bowl.

But at this time, the sky on the lake was empty, with nothing left.

Only Xu Jiaorong knew that thanks to Wu Luo's divine realm that eliminated most of the power, there was no big commotion. If it was directly detonated, the incident in Yunjin Mountain would happen again.

More than 200 years ago, the Feitianshi united with Song Zheng and others to rebel. In anger, Xuansheng used the fourth level of "Taiyi Technique" to interrupt part of the ground of Yunjin Mountain, causing a large-scale earthquake. Many peaks collapsed directly, and even a corner of Dazhen Mansion collapsed, causing Yunjin to The topography of the mountain has changed dramatically. Although Zhengyiyi repaired it afterwards, it still could not be completely restored to its original appearance, which made the terrain of Yunjin Mountain very complicated.

Today there is only one more sinkhole, and no earth veins are endangered. It is really lucky.

However, the appearance of the sinkhole has not escaped the eyes of everyone in the Taoist government. Some people have speculated that this sinkhole is related to Landa Zhenren.

The reason is not complicated. Whether it is an earthquake or a meteorite, it will leave traces of collision and fracture, but this sinkhole is a bit too "smooth", as if a piece is missing out of thin air. This is undoubtedly related to the "Taiyi Method" Turn into Hunlun and meet. After all, the innate five-year-old boy has a reputation, and all the high-quality Taoist priests in the Taoist sect know something about it. Looking at the entire Borneo Taoist mansion, only Master Landa can use the "Taiyi Technique".

If this matter is really related to Landa Zhenren, then if such a thing happens, Landa Zhenren must convene a Taoist meeting as soon as possible. First, he will explain the specific situation and who the conflict occurred with, and second, he will arrange follow-up matters. Either the whole city is under martial law, or the people involved in the case are searched, or even the Taoist government internally investigates the responsibilities of dereliction of duty.

As a result, everyone waited and waited, but never waited until the master of Lan Da held a Taoist meeting, which made people suspicious.

Could it be that Master Landa encountered some kind of accident?

One after another, people came to the water palace to see Master Lan Da and wanted to find out, but they were blocked by Xu Jiaorong.

Doubts within the Taoist government are even greater.

Wang Jiaohe and Chen Shuhua did not come forward in person, but asked the third deputy palace master Wang Jiaoying to come over to test.

Just from their names, you can know the relationship between the two. Wang Jiaoying is Wang Jiaohe's younger brother. He has always been domineering and even a bit reckless in the Borneo Taoist government. Let him take the lead without being obtrusive, and there will be explanations afterwards.

At this time, there was a huge battle outside the water palace gate. Xu Jiaorong stood on the steps in front of the palace gate, blocking the way. There were many spiritual officials standing outside the palace gate.

Although Wang Jiaoying was not the first or second in command, relying on his brother's power, he was extremely powerful. He separated from everyone and went directly to the palace gate. When he came up, he fired at Xu Jiaorong: "Xu Fuli, what is going on? You put so many Are people blocking here to isolate themselves from the inside and outside? "

Since ancient times, there has been a crime against powerful ministers called "isolating the inside and outside", which completely isolates the emperor from the outside world, so that the emperor cannot leave the palace for a word or a piece of paper, and also prevents outside sounds from reaching the emperor's ears. This is how it came about Opportunities to manipulate government affairs. .

This crime is not a small one.

Xu Jiaorong said coldly: "Who am I to be able to isolate the inside and outside? Deputy Palace Master Wang, please be careful what you say."

Wang Jiaoying said: "Since we are not isolating the inside and outside, then why does Xu Fuli block the road and prevent us from seeing the great master? Are you still not taking care of the Taoist affairs? Xu Fuli, what are you going to do? Does the great master know these things?"

A series of pressing questions made Xu Jiaorong's expression become more and more serious: "Deputy Master Wang! I have already said that not seeing guests is the intention of the great master. I am only following the order of the great master. As for the affairs of the Taoist mansion, I still don't care. It doesn’t seem like you should ask, and I won’t answer you.”

Wang Jiaoying has relied on his brother's power for many years and has always been arbitrary and tyrannical within the Taoist government. Except for Master Lan Da and his brother Wang Jiaohe, he doesn't pay attention to anyone. Now being slapped by Xu Jiaorong, he was immediately aroused. Angry: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. What's more, I am still the deputy master of the Tao Mansion, why can't I ask? Who will bear the responsibility if I miss the important events of the Tao Mansion!"

Xu Jiaorong was not a good person, and said: "Concerning this, Deputy Palace Master Wang can rest assured. If the sky falls, there will be a tall person to hold it up. It will not hit Deputy Palace Master Wang's head, let alone the sky is still falling." Not coming down.”

Wang Jiaoying narrowed his eyes and said loudly: "Xu Fuli, Wang, I would like to ask again, did Master Landa encounter any accident?"

Xu Jiaorong's expression remained unchanged: "Master Landa is in retreat. Other than that, I won't answer any other questions."

If Xu Jiaorong wants to block the road, there must be a reason. He cannot stop others from seeing Master Landa. As the saying goes, it is the most difficult to distinguish between reality and reality. The reason Xu Jiaorong gave is that Master Landa needs to retreat. As for why he is in seclusion, he will know when Master Landa comes out of seclusion.

This is what Wang Jiaohe and the others want to figure out. Is Master Lan Da in retreat? Still recovering from injuries? Logically speaking, the latter is more likely, but don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the unexpected. If the commotion is in full swing, and Master Lan suddenly comes to escape, it will be very embarrassing.

As for the reasons for the test given by Wang Jiaohe and others, they were ready-made, because the idea of ​​seclusion was not announced by Master Landa personally, but was conveyed by Xu Jiaorong, so they seized on this point to make a fuss, especially Wang Jiaoying. Even the hat of "isolating inside and outside" was brought out.

The pressure on Xu Jiaorong can be imagined.

However, Xu Jiaorong knew that he could not give in at all, and he had to delay Qi Xuansu's return every moment he could.

Wang Jiaoying shouted: "Xu Jiaorong! Don't block the road!"

Wang Jiaoying also brought people with him, and with his loud shout, he immediately moved forward.

This is the spiritual official who belongs directly to the real person in charge.

When Wang Danqing went to Yujing, he brought a spiritual officer with him, and he even dared to take action against Qi Xuansu.

Without Xu Jiaorong's orders, the spiritual official who was directly affiliated with the real person in charge of the palace and was standing outside the palace gate also stepped forward.

The two groups of spiritual officials faced each other tit for tat, and their swords were at war.

Xu Jiaorong was surrounded by many spiritual officials and said angrily: "Wang Jiaoying, do you want to rebel?"

Wang Jiaoying said: "Xu Jiaorong, I now suspect that you took advantage of Da Zhenren's illness to isolate Da Zhenren and isolate the inside and outside. Taoist friends from Beichen Hall and Fengxian Hall will come over soon. Don't make a mistake!"

Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, the sky above suddenly darkened.

Is it cloudy?

Wang Jiaohe glanced up subconsciously.

Then the expression on his face suddenly solidified.

A huge "Yinglong" hovered over Shenglong Mansion at some point, like a dark cloud covering the sky and the sun.

There are three "Purple Dragon" ships surrounding "Yinglong".

The decks of "Yinglong" and "Zijiao" were densely packed with elite spiritual officers wearing black armor.

This scene is like a divine weapon descending from heaven.

If the imperial envoy is an angel, then this is a heavenly soldier.

Xu Jiaorong also saw this scene and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

finally come.

More and more people noticed something unusual and looked up.

After a brief silence, there was great commotion and noise.

There are also some spirit officials who have landed in advance and choose to enter the city through the city gate of Shenglong Mansion.

After all, if Lingguan were to land in Sheji Palace by air, he would be in an siege posture.

Because they were the spiritual officers of the Taoist sect, there was no obstruction at all from the city gate, and the team of about 500 spiritual officers was allowed to march straight in.

Walking in the front were a Taoist priest and a spiritual official.

The spiritual officer took off his helmet and held it with one hand. It was a woman with a soft appearance. If it weren't for the jet black armor, she would have been mistaken for a lady of some family.

Some people have already judged the rank of this spiritual official by the style of his armor.

It turned out to be a first-grade spiritual officer.

It is a coincidence that Lingguan Ding Chou has the word "ugly" in his name, but he is extremely beautiful.

The reason why she took off her helmet was to show that she was not hostile and was not here to force her to marry him.

As for the Jiayin Lingguan, he stayed on top of "Yinglong" to prevent any unexpected events.

The Taoist priest was naturally Qi Xuansu. On the way to Shenglong Mansion, he had already put on the Taoist priest's crane cloak. He was solemn and solemn and walked at the front of the entire team.

Behind him was the dark spiritual officer, silent, just following the footsteps of the second deputy palace master.

The spiritual officials passed through Qinglong Street.

Except for the footsteps of Lingguan, there was no other noise, and it seemed that the entire Shenglong Mansion began to hold its breath and concentrate.

On both sides of the main axis, onlookers held their breath involuntarily, not daring to take a breath.

The flying boat overhead was like a black cloud pressing over the city.

Now the spirit official has entered the city again.

Is this to force the palace? Or do you mean that the gentlemen want to have a fight?

When the team of spiritual officials gradually walked away, many people breathed a long sigh of relief and felt relieved.

The gate of the inner city is getting closer and closer. The spiritual officers stationed here have received news that another group of spiritual officers have entered the city, but there is no order from above, so they are a little at a loss.

As we approached the inner city, anyone could see the tense atmosphere between the two groups of spiritual officials, and no one dared to watch the excitement here.

On the main road that suddenly became empty, Qi Xuansu was always walking at the front. Even Ding Chou Lingguan was one position behind, and no one could walk side by side with him.

The gates of the inner city were not closed, but a large number of spiritual officials were standing there.

Qi Xuansu acted as if there was no one around and kept moving forward. Every time he took a step forward, these spiritual officials took a step back.

Finally, Qi Xuansu passed through the city gate of the inner city.

When walking out of the slightly dark city gate, Qi Xuansu suddenly stopped.

In an instant, all the spiritual officials following him stopped.

Uniform.

The spiritual officials of the other faction felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
