Chapter 229: Hidden, Hidden! (Subscribe)

[Note: The magical power of Nether Nightmare is a magical power from the "Nine Nether Ksitigarbha Sutra", one of the ancient Taoist secret arts. If practiced deeply, one can become a deity! ]

[The "Nine Nether Ksitigarbha Sutra" was written by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the ancient Dao Court. It can directly reach the ten realms of supernatural powers and has unfathomable powers of ghosts and gods! ]

A golden light flashed, Chen Yi took a closer look, and subconsciously wanted to look at Lu Fang beside him.

But he held back.

His intuition told him that even if the "eagle" in Wang Yang's eyes was not done by Lu Fang, it was done by the person from "Ji Jing Tian" behind him!
Otherwise, Lu Fang would never have been so sure that there would be something big to watch at Kyoto Academy!

"Mystical Power: Nether Nightmare, Nine Nether Ksitigarbha Sutra, Ancient Dao Court..."

Chen Yi thought for a moment, his magical power of "the world is within reach" also came from the ancient Taoist court.

The "Great Dream Heart Sutra" practiced by Zhao Muzi and others in "Xunwangtian" is an ancient magical art.

Ancient times...

It should refer to the ancient times where Taizhou Mountain is located, not the current Tianyuan Continent...

Several thoughts instantly emerged in his mind, and Chen Yi remembered them one by one, intending to ask about them during the subsequent "Xunwangtian" ceremony.

While Chen Yi was thinking to himself, the area outside the Kyoto Academy had become completely silent, and all the onlookers were looking at Wang Yang in surprise and astonishment.

Even the faces of the first and third gentlemen standing outside the mansion gate were serious. It was obvious that they did not expect him to say such outrageous words.

Mr. Yang Huan, the third teacher, frowned and took a step forward to scold Wang Yang, but the eldest teacher in front of him raised his hand to stop him.

"Master Lin, for a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust villain like him, just beat him to death and leave him to me..." Yang Huan said in a voice transmission with resentment.

The master shook his head slightly and replied in a voice transmission: "Yang'er has been oppressed by Chen Yi and his temperament has changed drastically. He is guilty but not punishable by death!"

Yang Huan opened his mouth, frowned and looked at him, feeling a little confused for some reason.

In my impression, Master Lin Zhongke is not a hesitant person, especially when dealing with people like Wang Yang who betray their teachers and ancestors and bring disgrace to the school, he will never show mercy...

Could it be because Wang Yang was the master's last disciple and he had poured so much effort into him that he was reluctant to let him go?
Yang Huan didn't know, but he didn't say anything more.

There was a long silence.

The master's expression eased a little. He sighed and waved his hand. A stream of righteousness fell on Wang Yang.

"You will be punished to keep silent for three days and reflect on your actions in the prison."

After saying this, the Master looked at the Golden Banner Order again and said calmly:

"Please ask Commander Luo to tell His Majesty that the school is very busy these days and needs to be closed for a few days to reorganize."

The Golden Flag Commander surnamed Luo bowed hastily, then waved his hand and directly restrained Wang Yang. No matter how he struggled, he could not utter a sound.

It didn't take long.

The first and third teachers turned around and returned to the academy, while the Night Watch and the Black Armor Guards directly dragged Wang Yang away.

However, the people around were still very excited at this moment.

Especially with the participation of several people with ulterior motives, almost all of them accused Wang Yang of being unfilial and disrespectful to his elders.

"This is treason! How could such an arrogant and ignorant person be admitted to the Kyoto Academy?!"

"Why did the First Master stop the Third Master just now? According to the Third Master's intention, we can just clean up the mess right here!"

"I wonder if you have heard the whereabouts of the three female scholars who had an affair with Wang Yang?"

"It is said that they have been ordered to suspend their studies and go home by the Kyoto Academy, and the master punished them personally!"

"Why is Mr. Da so biased towards Wang Yang? Just because he is a young genius?"

"Don't say those words anymore. Now that His Majesty has thrown Wang Yang into prison, he will certainly not have a good ending!"

"Even if you cannot bear it, Your Majesty will never let Wang Yang go!"

"You are right. At critical moments, these schools and holy places are not as fair as the Supreme in the court!"

"Your Majesty is fair? Not necessarily!"

"Just like the previous Lord Yingwu, even if there was a reason, what he did in Jingye Marquis's Mansion was against etiquette, but in the eyes of His Majesty..."

There was widespread discussion around, some saying that the Kyoto Academy's handling of the matter was unfair, while others said that the court's theory was unclear.

After Wang Dashan heard this, his face was filled with indignation:

"Damn it, a beast like this is still number one on the Earth Ranking? Not only did he betray his teacher and ancestors, but he also refused to admit his mistakes and even put the blame on Lord Yingwu Hou!"

Fang Xiaochuan nodded in agreement: "In our Jizhou Prefecture, people like Wang Yang are considered heretics no matter how knowledgeable and accomplished they are!"

Li Fei looked at the people around him thoughtfully, then turned to Lu Fang and asked:
"Master Lu, as you said before, this Wang Yang is actually a treacherous villain!"

Chen Yi also looked at Lu Fang, with a look of confusion on his face, and asked:
"Brother Dao, I don't quite understand. Does being thrown into the Heavenly Prison mean that this person is going to die?"

Lu Fang shook his head and said with a smile:

"After all, he is the disciple of the Great Master, a Grand Scholar of the Kyoto Academy, and the number one on the Earth Ranking. For the sake of that bet, the court should spare his life."

Chen Yi pretended not to know and asked, "What kind of gambling fight?"

He knew clearly in his heart that what Lu Fang said was in line with the current reality.

A talented No. 1 on the Earth List, if he didn't know that his mind was being controlled by someone, the court and the underworld would have included him as a candidate for the gambling fight.

Unless there is a more suitable genius to replace him, no one will let him make amends for his crime...

Wang Dashan and the others also didn't know about the gambling fight, so they asked, "What does the gambling fight have to do with Wang Yang?"

"That's right, what kind of gambling fight requires a treacherous villain like him?"

Lu Fang smiled but said nothing. He glanced at Chen Yi and Li Fei and said, "That matter is too secretive. The fewer people who know about it, the better."

"If you are interested, I will tell you another time after the event is over."

Chen Yi had no objection, as he had already known the secret of the gambling fight between the human race and the demon court in Tianyuan Continent.

According to what "Xun Wangtian" and others said before, the gambling fight seemed to be related to the ownership of a certain area on Mount Taizhou.

Although he didn't know more details, he had already guessed the connection just by the word "realm".

There is no need to ask more questions.

"Come on, come on, everyone has left, let's go back and continue drinking!"

Having said that, without waiting for Lu Fang's response, Chen Yi put his arm around his shoulder and greeted Li Fei, Wang Dashan and others.

"You are really addicted to alcohol, my friend."

Lu Fang smiled, but a hint of coldness flashed through his eyes, "I'll bring you some fine wine in a few days."

"Okay," Chen Yi said happily, "Then I'd like to thank you first."

Li Fei smiled and said, "I have a few jars of fine wine here, let's open them and drink them together later."

"Okay, okay..."

Wang Dashan and Fang Xiaochuan were both from Jeju Prefecture. They were both wine lovers and naturally would not refuse.

"I'll get drunk today..."

……

The great master returned to the school building deep inside the academy, stood with his hands behind his back and looked towards the imperial city.

At this moment, there was no expression on his face, and he looked as indifferent as a saint as usual. A hint of red gold appeared in his eyes, and he could vaguely see the Night Watchman and Wang Yang and his party.

At this time, Mr. Yang Huan came to his side, slightly behind him, and asked thoughtfully:

"Teacher Lin, there are also scholars with eccentric personalities in the school's heritage, but most of them are due to disputes over knowledge."

"It's understandable that Wang Yang feels resentful because he was suppressed by Marquis Yingwu, but his temperament has changed drastically..."

"Could it be that he was stimulated by something else?"

The great master shook his head slightly and said calmly, "I took him to the statue of the saint and checked him. There is no trace of magical powers or secret arts on his body."

Mr. San frowned and said firmly: "Then he deserves to die!"

The great master said without comment: "Yang'er did have a way to die, but don't you think everything happened too quickly and too coincidental?"

Mr. San was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "Master Lin, do you mean that someone is using Wang Yang's promiscuous library for other purposes?"

"maybe."

The great master looked up at the sky, thought for a moment, and said:

"Last night, I was discussing Chen Yi's matter with Li Qingzhou. When I noticed what Yang'er did in the library, I immediately returned."

"Then I sent the three female scholars back and erased this incident from their memories."

"It stands to reason..."

Mr. San understood and frowned, saying, "Logically speaking, this matter should not be spread so quickly, and it is even more impossible for anyone to report it to the court."

"Teacher Lin, do you know who is targeting the school?"

The master shook his head and sighed, "I can't guess the other person's identity, but I have a feeling of déjà vu."

"Seemingly familiar..." Mr. San's eyes suddenly widened: "You mean, they were the ones who did it?"

"It should be their doing, just like the spread of Buddhism to the East 200 years ago, the rise and fall of the Zhennan King in the past, and the battle of Beixiongguan more than 30 years ago."

Having said that, the great gentleman paused and looked towards the golden mountain on the other side.

"In addition to their secretive actions, each step they take must have a hidden meaning. With each step linked together, it is difficult for people to see their next step or true intention."

"But I think their reappearance this time is probably related to two things."

Mr. San's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "Master Lin, may I ask what the two things are?"

"One is the dispute between the civil officials and the military marquises in the court, or the dispute between Confucianism and the holy land of the sect."

"The second is Buddhism... I don't know if you've noticed that in recent days, there are a lot more monks and nuns in Kyoto Prefecture than other people in the martial arts world."

"Almost all the famous temples and monasteries in the Wei Dynasty have people coming here, and even some temples in the Western Buddhist countries have monks coming here."

The master paused, looked towards the Dakong Temple with a slightly sparkling look in his eyes and said:

"Since those people introduced Buddhism more than 200 years ago and later spread the Dharma through several generations of Buddhist disciples, they must have had a deep meaning in doing so!"

Mr. San looked at the Dakong Temple, thought for a moment, and said:

"But now we can't even explore the Dakong Temple clearly, so even if we guess, it will be useless."

"As for Wang Yang's matter, I can't imagine what those people are planning by throwing him into the prison?"

"Suppress my Kyoto Academy? You should know that this is impossible! The academy has been passed down for thousands of years and will never fall because of a Wang Yang!" "Or, do they want to ruin your and the academy's reputation? If so, I'm afraid..."

Having said that, Mr. San hesitated to speak, and there was some worry in his eyes when he looked at him.

The master understood what Yang Huan meant. If those people were targeting him, lowering his reputation through Wang Yang was only the first step, and there should be follow-up.

"I have been staying in Kyoto Prefecture for two hundred years, just waiting for this day to come!"

Hearing this, Mr. San's eyes flickered a few times, and he bowed and said, "Master Lin, you'd better be more careful."

The great master turned around and looked at him, smiled and nodded, saying: "Tell the students that the school will be closed for five days, so they can study in peace."

After saying that, he took a step forward and headed towards Fengtong Street.

"I'm going to ask Li Qingzhou for a glass of wine. I'll leave the school in your care for the next few days."

Mr. San bowed, looked up at his back, and a hidden smile appeared on his face.

I have to say, Master Lin is still the same as before, so confident and even conceited!

Then, he left, and his voice spread:
"The house is closed for five days, no one is allowed to go out!"

The news of Kyoto Academy spread throughout the two counties of Kyoto Prefecture in an instant.

Even those who are most oblivious to what is happening outside their homes will hear some things from their neighbors.

For a time, Wang Yang's debauched academy directly overshadowed the phenomena of Yingwu Hou Chen Yi's retreat, the establishment of checkpoints in the "Sword Cultivation Holy Land", and the upcoming grand event.

At this moment, in the imperial city.

As soon as Luo Qiling reported that Wang Yang had been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, the Emperor walked out in anger.

Liu Gao hurriedly announced the adjournment of the court and hurriedly chased after him.

The ministers in the court looked at each other, but then looked at the purple-robed young man in the second row of Wu Hou's column with a little doubt.

"This matter is a bit strange. Usually, when the censors submit memorials, it is mostly us civil officials who praise or criticize based on the facts. I didn't expect that today a military marquis would directly stand up."

"It's really strange. And those officials who suddenly submitted the memorial, how dare they accuse the Kyoto Academy in this way? Aren't they afraid of the emperor's wrath?"

"Not only His Majesty, but even those of us who graduated from Kyoto Academy are somewhat dissatisfied with this matter."

"Even if this is the truth, these censors shouldn't publicize it so directly. Doing so is simply embarrassing us!"

Xie Jing in red, who was standing at the head of the civil officials, looked towards the line of military marquises upon hearing the words. Her gaze fell on Du Qing, the King of Zhenbei. She only glanced at Chen Yuan, who was standing quietly behind him, with the corner of her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

It seems that the previous plan should have worked...

Chen Yuan listened to the discussions around him but did not pay much attention to them. After putting away the tiger talisman in his hand, he turned around and left.

At this time, Du Qing stopped him and said, "Marquis Jingye, please walk slowly. I have something to ask you."

Chen Yuan paused, looked at him calmly, and nodded.

He noticed Xie Jing's gaze, hesitated slightly, and turned his head to send a message:
"They showed up!"

When Xie Jing heard the voice in her ear, she was stunned for a moment, then she brushed her sleeves and walked out, as if she didn't hear what was said.

Chen Yuan also had a calm expression and followed behind Du Qing.

Du Qing frowned and looked at him and asked, "Marquis Jingye, I am a little confused about what happened today. Why did you agree with the suggestions of those censors?"

"That day, Wang Yang, the old marquis, and the Minister of Rites were all injured by Chen Yi, so it is understandable that he feels resentful."

"Even if he had affairs with several female Confucian scholars, it is an internal matter of the Kyoto Academy and should be handled by the great master and others."

Chen Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Your Highness, I just don't like his criticism of my second brother that day."

"..."

Du Qing twitched the corner of his mouth. He really didn't expect this to be the reason.

He looked at Chen Yuan suspiciously, then sighed suddenly, patted his shoulder and said:
"I know that you have taken over the position of Marquis Jingye for other reasons, but now that things have come to this, I hope you can judge the situation and focus on Beixiongguan as much as possible, and don't get too involved in other things."

Chen Yuan glanced at him, cupped his hands and said, "I will be heading to the camp outside the city later, and will not be attending the court meeting."

Du Qing nodded, said a few words of encouragement, and then waved goodbye to him.

After the two men walked out of the Huangji Palace one after the other, the few officials who were left behind looked up at Chen Yuan, their eyes changing slightly.

The long silver hair fluttered left and right as she walked, faintly exuding a sense of coldness, which was very eye-catching.

"It seems that Zhou Yuan is quite smart in his actions..."

……

It was not until nightfall that Chen Yi and others dispersed.

Wang Dashan and Fang Xiaochuan were short of money, so they slept by the Quchi Pool after arriving in Kyoto Prefecture.

First, you can enjoy the beautiful boats, second, you can save money, and third, you can watch the competition among those young geniuses.

Li Fei was going back to the branch of Cangjian Villa in Kyoto Prefecture. According to him, some swords and weapons were also sold there, which was considered a business of Cangjian Villa.

Chen Yi fulfilled the previous agreement and returned to the inn with Lu Fang arm in arm.

At this moment, Kyoto Prefecture is lined with lanterns, and even though it is already night, the streets and alleys are still lit.

As the spring breeze blows, the willow branches along the street flutter in the wind along with the mist from the cooking of the people in the surrounding towns and markets.

It is rare to give this ancient and solemn Kyoto a bit of the everyday air.

Chen Yi's face turned ruddy after drinking, and he was staggering slightly drunk, but there was still some curiosity in his eyes as he looked around.

It must be said that if his cultivation and sword skills had not reached a level that was rare in the world, he could have made a living with just his acting skills.

Lu Fang on the side still seemed sober. He looked at Chen Yi from time to time and tilted his ear as if listening to something.

"Fellow Daoist, you have just come down the mountain, so you probably don't have a deep understanding of many things, right?"

Chen Yi glanced at him, smiled and nodded, "Big brother forgot again. Daoist friends and brothers are too distant. Big brother is more intimate with me."

Lu Fang laughed dumbly and said, "Brother Feng is right. I just said the wrong thing."

But as soon as Chen Yi turned his head, the smile on his face suddenly faded and he looked at Chen Yi with suspicion.

The divination that Lao Mouzi made couldn’t be wrong, right?
Can this mysterious yet suspicious young genius really help them in their plans?

Lu Fang was not doubtful, he was just puzzled - he would rather believe his own eyes and ears than the illusory Qimen hexagrams.

Even if he had been in contact with "Lu Xiaofeng" for a day, he could only see that "Lu Xiaofeng" was a young and inexperienced person.

Whenever he wanted to ask about some secrets, such as where his hometown was, where his relatives were, and who his master was, "Lu Xiaofeng" would answer them quite straightforwardly.

But in Lu Fang's eyes, those answers could not be verified.

My hometown is Jiangnan Prefecture, I have no relatives, and as for my teacher...my master won't let me talk about it...

In the past, Lu Fang would never have had the patience to create complications.

But according to what "Lao Mouzi" just said, "Lu Xiaofeng" can be someone who can help them.

Just like when he asked Chen Yuan before whether he could join "Ji Jing Tian", "Lao Mouzi"'s answer was still "yes".

"The Qimen hexagram is too abstract. Without the birth date, what can we judge based on the face alone?"

Lu Fang looked at the staggering Chen Yi, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Even though the "General" values ​​"Lao Mouzi" and trusts every word he says, he still feels that "Lu Xiaofeng" is too suspicious.

Regardless of his background, master, behavior, or the strange and inexplicable magical skills, he felt that the timing of this person's appearance was too strange!

At this time, Chen Yi looked back as if he had noticed something, and asked with a slightly red face:
"Brother, where is the inn?"

Lu Fang smiled and immediately led the way, saying, "We're almost there. The environment there is nice, quiet and elegant. It's a good time for you and me to have a long chat."

"Brother Feng, after you came down the mountain, did your master have any other instructions? For example, what did you do?"

Chen Yi pretended to think for a moment and replied, "Master didn't say much, just said that I would understand after I get down the mountain."

"Oh I almost forgot!"

Chen Yi patted his head, shook his head and asked, "Brother, have you heard of Taizhou Mountain?"

Lu Fang paused, his eyes revealed that it was as he expected, and nodded and said:

"I naturally know Taizhou Mountain. Brother Feng, don't you know?"

Chen Yi shook his head and said, "Master didn't tell me. He said that after I come down the mountain, someone will lead me to Taizhou Mountain. He also told me to practice well there and kill more demons."

As he said that, he looked at Lu Fang and asked with a hint of expectation: "Brother, you are not the person that Master said can take me to Mount Taizhou, right?"

Lu Fang's smile deepened, and he nodded and said, "Brother Feng, you have finally found the right person. Not only do I know where Mount Taizhou is, I can also take you there."

"But before that, Brother Feng, you still need to obtain an identity to go to Mount Taizhou."

Chen Yi stopped and asked, "How do I get it? Is it difficult?"

Lu Fang looked at the few pedestrians around, then took Chen Yi to the corner of the street, looked straight at him and said:

"It's not difficult, not difficult at all, I can provide it to you!"

Chen Yi's heart was slightly moved, but his expression did not show any sign of it. He just looked at him happily:
"Brother, please give me some help. Apart from anything else, I am very confident in my skills and I think I can provide you with some help."

"It's natural!"

Lu Fang smiled and nodded, and a faintly weird and dark aura enveloped the surroundings.

At the same time, he made hand gestures and reminded: "Brother Feng, just stand still."

Chen Yi said "oh" and stood there obediently, watching his movements curiously.

Tiger, dragon, mountain... As Lu Fang made a few hand gestures, dark talismans and seals fell around Chen Yi.

"Brother, what is this?"

"Of course it's the identity you want to go to Mount Taizhou!"

Lu Fang smiled strangely, pinched out the last talisman, and saw the talisman marks around Chen Yi suddenly brighten.

But it was not dazzling, but became darker and deeper, as if a barrier was covering him.

Chen Yi took a look, looking as if he didn't understand what was going on. Before the dark light enveloped his whole body, he raised his foot suspiciously.

The next moment, the dim light suddenly shattered as if it had lost its target.

The smile on Lu Fang's face froze, and he stared at him blankly, his mind as if it had been greatly shocked.

Hide, escaped? !
