Chapter 130 Conflict
The gate of the ancestral hall slowly opened, and the elder of the precepts signaled me to go in, and he followed him in. It was late at night, and an oil lamp was lit in the ancestral hall. With the dim light, I saw that eight different statues of gods were supplied in the ancestral hall.
The statues of this god are of different shapes, including Vajra's eyes, and some are sympathetic to others and compassion for the heavens. The most strange thing is that they have made various seals on their hands.
I secretly thought that the Netherworld Divine Cult evolved from Manicheism, and these eight statues should also be figures in Manicheism. If the elders of Buddhism were there, they might be able to tell the origin of these eight statues.
I walked in and was looking at the layout of the ancestral hall when I heard the voice of a middle-aged woman in my ears. Are you Su Youzai?
I looked in the voice and saw that in the dim lights, a middle-aged woman in a Taoist robe stood not far away, wiping a statue of god. The one who could be in this ancestral hall was naturally Xu Ruonan's master, Jing Yurou, the founder of the Netherworld Divine Sect.
I quickly said, "Mr. Su You are here, I have met my senior."
Although I know that Jing Yurou is nearly fifty years old, she looks like a young woman in her early thirties, wearing a maroon and robe, washed away all the hair, but she is full of charm. This person is somewhat similar to Xu Ruonan's temperament. The reason why Xu Ruonan has the current personality is largely influenced by this person.
Jing Yurou didn't make a sound, just looked at me, making me feel as if I were seeing my future mother-in-law, with sweat all over my palms, and I was not allowed to put my hands in my pocket, nor was I not allowed to take them out.
Suddenly, the woman floated in and slapped her in the air.
I thought to myself that everyone in the Netherworld Sect likes to start fighting with a disagreement. Elder Chuangong is like this, and the old woman is like this. However, before I could complain in my heart, Jing Yurou's true energy was already coming to her face.
I quickly lucked the Xingsu True Qi to compete with it, but the true Qi passed through my body like nothingness and disappeared. Jing Yurou smiled and said, it was indeed the Xingsu True Qi. In this way, you still have some connection with our Holy Teaching.
Origin? My strange way, what is the origin?
Jing Yurou said that you will know when the opportunity comes.
I couldn't help but get bored. I hate this kind of person who speaks so divinely but hesitate the most. However, since she is Xu Ruonan's master, I'm too lazy to care about her.
Jing Yurou said that maybe one day, when our God Cult is facing a crisis, you will need to break through the deadlock and rescue him.
I mean you are referring to the Wulin Alliance’s attack on your Netherworld Sect?
Jing Yurou laughed and said that the four major families and eight major sects are just clowns in my eyes. Since the destruction of the Murong family in Jiangnan, the major sects in the world are not worth mentioning at all.
I thought to myself that this guy was quite crazy, but since he was able to establish the Netherworld Divine Sect and could cultivate disciples like Xu Ruonan, there were naturally reasons to be arrogant.
Jing Yurou continued, after the Battle of Mingshan, the Kyoto Agreement was signed. The old monsters outside the three realms were divided into two factions. One helped defend Mingshan to prevent the invasion of the underworld, but the realm gradually declined over the years; the other faction refused to give up his cultivation for many years, hid the world, and steal the luck of the world to continue practicing.
So that's it. Zhao Lingxiao, whom I met on the bank of Luoshui not long ago, belongs to the latter type of person.
Jing Yurou said these words to me made me a little puzzled. In fact, the purpose of my coming here was to take Xu Ruonan away. After she said this, I couldn't speak anymore.
Jing Yurou saw my thoughts and said, Ruonan was very stubborn when she was a child. If she knew anything, she would not be able to pull back even a hundred cows. I would not interfere with you young people.
I felt ecstatic in my heart. What a good master of the Ming Dynasty.
After coming out of the ancestral hall, I saw Xu Ruonan already waiting outside and seeing my master? I nodded and said, "My master agrees that I will take you away."
Xu Ruonan said, "Leave?" Why do you want to leave?"
I was stunned when I heard this and said, "I want to take you back to Jinling and be with you."
Xu Ruonan's face was not very good, and said, "Little Constable, you don't know me too much. Now I am the leader of the Netherworld Sect. I can ignore the affairs of this world, but the two thousand members of the Netherworld Sect are facing a crisis now. How can I stay out of the matter and leave?"
I was silent.
Xu Ruonan is different from ordinary women. She is not the kind of woman who needs to be attached to men to survive, but a woman with an independent personality consciousness.
She is the leader of a sect and wants to fight in the world for the benefit of the Netherworld Sect. Sometimes she acts too ruthlessly. She has only made a name for herself in the world for a few years after her debut.
The world looks beautiful, and it is desirable, and it is a hero and righteous person. But this is just an appearance. The world is not a treat to a meal, but a real fight, regardless of good or evil, sect, or all actions are nothing more than three words, name, name, power, and profit.
When I first met, I was moved, but just like an ordinary person, after the sweet period, some of the conflicts in their ideas began to emerge.
When Xu Ruonan saw that I didn’t speak, he asked, why didn’t he speak? He was angry?
I said it wasn't that I was angry, but I felt that the woman I like was in trouble, but I couldn't help. Ruonan, I decided that no matter how I treat you Netherworld Sect in the world, I will stand by you and support your decision.
Xu Ruonan was very moved when he heard the words and said, "But you are the constable of the court!"
I laughed and said that because I am a constable in the court, I may not be able to help other places when I go to war with you at this martial arts conference, but I am still confident of speaking in terms of government and public opinion.
That night, I lived in the guest room of the Netherworld Cult Headquarters.
The next morning, before I got up, I heard Xiaoyao and the other immortals slamming the door and saying that they didn’t have enough time to drink yesterday. Today, the poetry club of the elders of Buddhism organized a poetry battle meeting and invited us to attend. We didn’t know the big words and thought about it, but we had to ask you to help.
I said I could help, but I would like to see Xu Kaishan before.
The two immortals of Xiaoyao said that Xu Kaishan is now happy and happy. You can't envy this treatment. I asked what happened. Wumei Gui said, "Don't worry, when you let us show off at the poetry battle conference, I will naturally take you to see him."
I came in a hurry yesterday, and today I have the opportunity to visit Fengyun Island under the leadership of the two immortals of Xiaoyao.
I used to think that when I mentioned the head of the Netherworld Divine Sect, it would be gloomy and cold, and it was hard to cross the birds. Unexpectedly, the green mountains and clear waters were a bit like the Peach Blossom Land described by Tao Yuanming.
Everyone on the island practices martial arts and business, and each performs his duties.
Fengyun Island is a natural safe haven, Jiangan Pier. Listening to several black ships, it is said that cargo ships traded with Ryukyu and Dongyi, docking here every day.
This small island was built so hidden and supported by a strange formation. Against the backdrop of the Ming Dynasty's implementation of sea ban and the ship's office was not opened, many merchant ships from the Dongyi and Nanyang came here to deliver. This Fengyun Island became the largest foreign trade port in the Ming Dynasty.
Jing Yurou chose to establish the Netherworld Divine Sect here, and she was quite eye-catching. It is precisely because of this that the continuous flow of profits from overseas caused the jealousy of the Nangong family and the Wulin Alliance. This is the fundamental reason why they attacked Netherworld.
The two immortals Xiaoyao naturally didn't know what I was thinking, so they took me all the way to the top of Fengyun Island. More than a dozen people were waiting there. Before they could sit down, they heard someone telling another person, ten taels of silver.
What did Xiaoyao Immortals ask about ten taels of silver?
The man said, I bet with Xiao Xiangzi, whether you two elders dare to attend this poetry club poetry competition conference.
The two immortals Xiaoyao said angrily, you actually underestimated us. Although we are not well educated, with this little brother, it will be very different. Today, our Three Treasures of Xiaoyao are here to win the title of poetry!
