Strange world, I can seal the gods

Chapter 1285 Shall I leave?
After walking out of the mountain where Elder Cao made the talismans, Cui Yu turned his head to look at the luxurious palace hidden in the blue sky and white clouds. His eyes were full of surprise, but he did not say anything. Instead, he returned to the Sutra Library.

"Is it done?" Cui Yu had just arrived on the seventh floor when he saw Elder Xu coming forward and asking in a low voice.

"Okay." Cui Yu nodded.

"It shouldn't be like this!" Elder Xu showed no joy on his face when he heard this. Instead, he showed a hint of doubt.

"What do you mean?" Cui Yu asked.

"According to that old man's personality, how could he agree so easily? Even if he gave you what he wanted, he should have given you some trouble. At least one million taels of gold would be necessary." Elder Xu's eyes showed a trace of thought: "Maybe there is a trick."

"Is it a trick?" Cui Yu repeated.

Elder Xu heard this and said, "Maybe that's the case! You can ask De Ming to get some information."

As soon as Elder Xu finished speaking, a magnificent bell sounded. The bell rang nine times before it slowly stopped. Elder Xu said in surprise, "How strange! The abbot actually summoned all the disciples, elders, and followers of the lower courtyard to gather together. The last time such a big commotion was made was when the abbot took over the throne. Could it be that something big has happened in the abbot again?"

As he spoke, Elder Xu turned into a beam of light and flew away. Seeing this, Cui Yu hurriedly chased after him. The abbot summoned all the disciples and elders of the lower house. Cui Yu was one of them, so of course he had to go as well.

The disciples' bodies were like willow catkins, jumping like monkeys in the mountains and forests, walking on branches and leaves, just like the top masters in martial arts novels.

Cui Yu was not to be outdone. His footsteps were as light as willow catkins, floating over leaves, grass tips, and eaves, and landed in the square where all the disciples gathered.

At a glance, there are probably tens of thousands of disciples gathered here. There are definitely quite a few cultivators in Xieyue Temple, but on weekdays most of the disciples hide in the deep mountains and old forests to practice, so they are rarely seen. At this time, the temple master summoned everyone, and as long as they were not in seclusion, they all came out from the deep mountains and old forests.

Cui Yu stood among the disciples and looked up at the platform, only to see the abbot with his hands behind his back with a gloomy expression. Next to him, Elder Cao had a serious face, with a hint of murderous intent flowing between his brows.

Seeing the two of them hanging out together, Cui Yu suddenly had a bad feeling. At this moment, Senior Brother Wenxi came up to Cui Yu, a sneer in his eyes, and whispered coldly in Cui Yu's ear: "Boy, you're done!"

Cui Yu's pupils shrank, and he turned to look at Wenxi, and said calmly: "Brother, why do you say that?"

"Have you seen Elder Cao?" Wenxi pointed at Elder Cao in the stands.

"I'm not blind." Cui Yu replied in a cold voice.

"Are you still so arrogant? You will cry later!" Wenxi was furious when he saw Cui Yu's expression.

But facing Wenxi's anger, Cui Yu just smiled indifferently, as if he didn't take Wenxi seriously at all. Wenxi became even angrier in his heart, so he said coldly:

"It's okay for me to tell you, kid. Elder Cao has long since surrendered to Marquis Chengyang. Marquis Chengyang promised that as long as he swallowed up the Shu family's territory, he could divide a hundred miles of territory and help Elder Cao become a true god and ascend to heaven. Elder Cao was worried that he had no means to deal with you for trying to please Marquis Chengyang. You bribed Elder Cao and you were courting death. It was equivalent to handing the handle to Elder Cao. The eldest son had long disliked you and wanted to drive you out of the Taoist temple. Now you actually took the initiative to hand the handle to him. You are so stupid that you didn't even sort out the relationship behind the gift recipient, and you rashly gave the gift. I said you are stupid, and you still say you are smart?"

"You are dead this time! Even the Jade Emperor can't save you!" Wenxi's voice was full of gloating.

Cui Yu's pupils shrank upon hearing this. Just as he was about to confirm the authenticity with Wen Xi, he suddenly heard a soft cough from the high platform, which spread throughout the venue like a loud speaker. The master of the temple saw that everyone's attention was attracted, so he spoke softly:

"Everyone be quiet, I have something to announce."

The master of the temple swept his eyes over the people in the field and said in a cold and serious voice: "Where is the inner sect disciple Cui Yu?"

Cui Yu was startled, but he was not panicked. He walked out of the crowd calmly and bowed respectfully to the master above him: "Disciple Cui Yu greets the master."

"Are you Cui Yu?" The master of the temple looked at Cui Yu and frowned. He had an impression of Cui Yu, who had won the favor of Master Xu Jing. However, this person had a narrow vision and was not up to the standard. He actually sold the treasure bestowed by Master Xu Jing. He was a fool who sold a great opportunity.

"Yes, disciple." Cui Yu clasped his hands together and spoke calmly.

Elder Xu in the crowd couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. His eyes wandered back and forth between Elder Cao and Cui Yu on the platform, and he couldn't help but take a breath.

The abbot glanced at Cui Yu, then ignored him. His eyes swept over all the disciples and elders in the field, and his voice was filled with cold murderous intent: "An extremely bad thing happened today. A disciple actually wanted to bribe the elders with gold and treat my Xieyue Temple's property as a business. Doing business on my Xieyue Temple is simply an unforgivable crime. All the cultivation materials of all the disciples of my Xieyue Temple have been carefully selected from the best, and there must be no negligence, because the cultivation materials are related to the future and life of every disciple of my Xieyue Temple. But now someone actually wants to bribe the elders in charge of my Xieyue Temple with ridiculous yellow and white things. It's simply ridiculous!"

In the crowd, Zhao Chuyan stared at Cui Yu's back with her eyes fixed on him. Her pupils shrank and she clenched her fists in her sleeves, but she didn't say anything. Things had come to this point, and even if she spoke, she couldn't save the situation. All she could do was try to make up for it afterwards.

However, with Zhao Chuyan's intelligence and scheming, she guessed in an instant that Cui Yu was definitely tricked.

"Inner disciple Cui Yu attempted to bribe the elders with 500,000 taels of gold, and wanted to use his good deeds to undermine the rules of Xieyue Temple. This kind of bad behavior cannot be allowed to continue, and must be dealt with seriously. Now the temple master has decided to deal with it as follows: Inner disciple Cui Yu will be expelled from the Taoist sect and driven down the mountain. He will never be employed again in the future." The temple master's voice shook the mountains like thunder, and he looked down at Cui Yu on the high platform:

"Cui Yu, for the sake of Grandmaster Xu Jing, I'm leaving you a chance to live. Are you dissatisfied?"

Cui Yu did not answer the master's words, but turned his head to look at Elder Cao beside the master, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. Anyone in this world who dared to mess with him, Cui Yu, would be killed to pieces.

Moreover, I clearly used the mysterious jade plate as a bribe, so when did it turn into 500,000 taels of gold?

But it was useless to argue so much at this point. Cui Yu turned his head to look at Elder Xu and Elder Deming, only to see Elder Xu had already stepped out first and said to the master above: "Master, no! Absolutely not!"

De Ming also stood up and said: "The punishment imposed by the abbot is too severe. Even if Cui Yu was wrong, he should not be punished like this."

"The two elders want to plead for mercy?" The temple master frowned when he heard this.

Elder Cao, who was standing by, was shocked when he saw Deming and Xu coming forward. You should know that Deming and Xu have very special identities in the Taoist temple. Elder Deming is a master of passing on skills, and he is the best in the lower courtyard of the Taoist temple in terms of cultivation. Elder Xu is an old bastard who has lived for who knows how many years. As far as Elder Cao knows, it seems that no one in the lower courtyard has lived longer than him.

"I think Cui Yu is quite smart and has a deep understanding of the great Dao. I plan to accept him as my disciple and train him. I hope the temple master will give me some face." Elder Xu said solemnly.

Elder Deming at the side also hurriedly said: "Master, Cui Yu is a rare talent. If he is expelled, it will be a loss for Xieyue Temple. If he is expelled, I will be the first to disagree. Moreover, Cui Yu seems to have a mysterious connection with the real dragon. If Cui Yu is expelled and the real dragon is unhappy, it will be bad if it causes trouble."

As he spoke, Elder Deming turned his head inconspicuously to glance at Cui Yu, and after quickly mouthing the word "real dragon", he turned his head away.

Hearing that the two elders were guaranteeing him, the master of the temple hesitated, but Elder Cao beside him could not sit still. If Cui Yu stayed, how would he explain to Marquis Chengyang? He had received benefits from Marquis Chengyang.

“Master, there is no order without rules. Cui Yu may be the best, but if he does not abide by the rules and tries to take shortcuts to shake the foundation of our Xieyue Temple and ruin the very principles of our Xieyue Temple, he must not be allowed to stay!” Elder Cao’s voice was full of urgency.

"Elder Cao, Cui Yu is the person I have my eyes on. Do you really want to kill him all?" Elder Xu's voice was full of coldness and his eyes were filled with anger.

"Laws cannot be broken! Cui Yu is an ambitious man. He wants to pass himself off as a good person and is clearly destroying the foundation of our Xieyue Temple. If he opens the door and stays, won't his disciples follow suit in the future?" Elder Cao argued.

"Master, Elder Cao is clearly exaggerating!" Elder Deming also spoke up.

At this time, the two sides were arguing endlessly, and Elder Xu and Elder Cao began to engage in a verbal battle, swearing at each other.

Just as the two sides were arguing and chattering, suddenly a shocking dragon roar was heard, and a violent storm suddenly blew up in the direction of the Dragon Breeding Academy. A vast black cloud swept across the sky and earth, and a huge black shadow swam out of the clouds. Then a head as big as a mountain stretched out from the clouds and leaned towards the direction of the square, as if a mountain had fallen down. Countless disciples were so frightened that their limbs went limp that they collapsed to the ground. The elders were facing a great enemy, and their aura gathered around them. It seemed that their magical powers could be used at any time.

"Don't act rashly! Don't act rashly!" The master of the temple trembled, and hurriedly comforted the elders: "Don't attack the real dragon. Once the real dragon is angered, we will not be enough to fill its stomach. The real dragon has its own spirituality, and once it is born, there must be a reason! Everyone, watch calmly and don't anger the real dragon!"

The huge snake head was like a mountain hanging upside down, and finally it stopped in front of Cui Yu calmly. Cui Yu reached out to touch the snake's head, then jumped and landed on the nose of the big snake.

“Cui Yu, what do you want to do? Do you know the consequences of angering the real dragon? Once the real dragon is angered, all of us will die! I know you are desperate after being expelled from the academy, but get off the real dragon first, and then we can talk about everything! We can talk about everything!” The master of the temple was panicked when he saw that Cui Yu actually turned over and landed on the tip of the real dragon's nose. He was afraid that Cui Yu would accidentally provoke the real dragon to go crazy, which would cause big trouble.

"Reporting to the master, the real dragon said that he would go with me. From today on, the real dragon will go wherever I go." Cui Yu looked at the master with a smile and sat comfortably on the tip of the real dragon's nose.

“Whoever understands snake language, quickly ask Lord True Dragon why he is so agitated!” The abbot did not believe Cui Yu’s words at all. He thought that Cui Yu was just a disciple, so how could he be worthy of being followed by the guardian beast of Xieyue Temple?

At this time, an elder from the Dragon Breeding Academy stepped forward and spoke a few words of snake language to the big snake. The next moment, the elder looked at Cui Yu with a strange expression, then turned his head and looked at his own master: "Master, that's what Lord Zhenlong said. Wherever he said Cui Yu goes, he will go."

"How could this happen?" Upon hearing this, the temple master's eyes were blank, full of disbelief.

Elder Cao on the side was immediately furious. If Zhenlong really meant this, wouldn't his plan be aborted? Even if he was fired, he couldn't fire Zhenlong.

"Wang Zhen, is your translation accurate, old man? Don't fool me! I know you have a close relationship with Elder Xu and Elder Deming. Could it be that you summoned this real dragon to cooperate with you in the acting?" Elder Cao was furious.

Wang Zhen of the Dragon Breeding Academy suddenly turned grim and glared at Elder Cao: "I am not the only one who knows snake language. There are so many people in the field, and many of them know snake language. Can I fool everyone?"

The master of the temple came to his senses at this time, raised his hand to interrupt the argument between the two parties, his eyes fell on Zhenlong, then on Cui Yu, and he looked back and forth between Cui Yu and Zhenlong, and was speechless for a long time.

"So, I'm leaving?" Cui Yu looked at the master of the temple and asked softly.

The temple master's face twitched, and he wanted to ask: "What will happen to the real dragon if you leave? Can the real dragon stay?"

But in the end, he didn't ask, but shook his head helplessly: "As for Cui Yu's treatment, we still need to think about it in the long run. For the time being, let's punish him to work in the mines in the back mountain."

"Go away." The master of the temple shook his head and disappeared from the spot.

Cui Yu patted the snake's head at this time, and a wisp of Candle Dragon's breath was transmitted to it. He jumped down from the snake's head directly, looked at the gloomy Elder Cao with a pair of eyes, and greeted him with a smile: "Elder Cao."

Cui Yu did not show any anger at this moment.

"I am only doing this for the development of the Taoist temple. We have no personal grudge against each other. You must not bear a grudge against me!" Elder Cao forced a smile.
