Start from the thief

Chapter 560 The Dagger Revealed

"This is the note that Senior Brother Yan Hui left for me when he first came to our temple. You two senior brothers' disciples can take a look at it."

Pandita took out a note from his sleeve, Vajra stepped forward to take it, hesitated for a moment, but did not immediately hand it to Zhang Hong and Miao Ming.

"Master, if those two destroyed this thing..."

The pandita glanced at Vajra and said: "A monk should not tell lies. No one has questioned the authenticity of this item, but you have made malicious speculations. Your practice is not yet complete."

King Kong lowered his head in shame, turned around and handed over the note.

Miao Ming stood up and took it. He and Zhang Hong took a look at it and said, "It is definitely Master's handwriting."

The pandit nodded: "That's good."

"But," Miao Ming raised his head, "Master Ming said that in gratitude for the master's help, in order to repay this kindness, after his death, his ashes should be buried in Zhao Temple. Where does this kindness come from?"

"This matter involves important figures from Tubo and Jiannan Road, and there are many people here who are gossipy."

King Kong obviously didn't want to say.

"Ha, it's nothing more than persuading Tubo and Jiannan Dao to join forces and march eastward to cause chaos in the Central Plains. What's wrong with that? Lord Du, Mr. Cao, what do you think?"

It was the leader who spoke.

"Lord Zuoshi, this matter has not yet been concluded."

Du Wu and Cao Zheng spoke at the same time. Both of them were shrewd people and would not easily admit anything, even if it was just empty talk.

"Since there is no conclusion, it means that Tibet has not been kind to my master. Naturally, there is no question of burying my master's remains in Tibet. Master, am I right?"

Miao Ming smiled and asked the pandita.

Yan Hui did say that he could give the remains to Tubo, but that was subject to a condition. Now that the condition is no longer true, the promise is naturally no longer true.

"not necessarily."

Pandita walked towards Du Wu and Cao Zheng and said, "I don't know what Master Yanhui said to Jiannan Dao and the others. The information I got from the king was just the promise made by the master to my Tubo."

Miao Ming frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Master Yanhui wants Tubo to send troops eastward. At this time, King Kong, where is the army?"

King Kong smiled coldly: "I got the news last night that the king ordered Ye Ruru to lead an army of 50,000 as the vanguard, and they have already arrived at the city of Songzhou."

Everyone changed color. No matter what happened in Yizhou City, it was ultimately just a small group of experts fighting among themselves. With everyone trying to control it, the damage caused to the entire city with a population of millions was not particularly great.

But it is different when the army is approaching. Songzhou now has only more than 10,000 defenders. Even if it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, can it hold out when the Tubo vanguard alone has 50,000 troops? How long can it hold out?

Once the army entered the Tang territory, could we still expect them to not harm anyone? Not to mention them, even the Tang army itself, when defeated and fleeing, would cause no less damage to the people than foreigners.

"The promise made by Tubo to Master Yanhui has been fulfilled. Alas, my Buddha, please have mercy on me."

The pandita bowed his head and clasped his hands together. This matter had nothing to do with Buddhism or scriptures. It was only necessary to state the facts. However, the result of this fact was the suffering of many lives.

The Tibetan Zhao Temple and Dabei Temple, which claimed to save people from suffering, reached an agreement that led to war and bloodshed. It was extremely ironic.

"Monks from the Great Compassion Temple, why don't you quickly hand over the old monk's body. After all, he is willing to kill all the people in Jiangnan for you."

The leader looked at Zhang Hong and Miao Ming, who looked embarrassed, with a smile on his face, and seemed very proud.

"Left Envoy of the Underworld, once I have sent my master's remains back to the Great Compassion Temple, I will come to you to seek your advice!"

Zhang Hong's aura was shaking. Although he was no match for the leader, this was definitely not the time to be cowardly.

"Why wait until then? You can do it now. Is Yan Hui teaching you to be a coward if you can't win?"

With a loud bang, a huge dragon head emerged from behind Zhang Hong. Miaoming also turned into a lion, with a bright light all around him.

Then the spiritual power quickly subsided, and two skinny hands forcefully pressed on the shoulders of the two men, pressing them down.

Master Li Hai might not be as good as the other two in normal times, but now that they are all seriously injured, he is the best person besides the leader.

"Today we are going to decide where Senior Brother Yan Hui's remains will go. Please don't miss the important matter."

Looking at the two people who sat down angrily, the leader sneered but did not provoke them again.

"Master, I wonder why my master asked Tubo to send troops? If you can't tell me the truth, I'm afraid I won't believe your words."

Pandita sighed again and said, "Last year, Brother Yanhui came to Zhao Temple to discuss Buddhism with me. The king has long heard of your great name, so I recommended you to give lectures to the king."

Miao Ming nodded, indicating that he also knew about this.

"Later, Senior Brother Yan Hui received a message and decided to return to the Central Plains. Before leaving, he discussed with the king and asked him to raise troops to the east to deter Jiangnan if there was any trouble in the Central Plains."

"What's going on in the Central Plains?"

"I don't know."

Don't know? Zhang Hong and Miao Ming looked at each other and asked, "Then why did Master want to return to the Central Plains?"

Pandita turned his head and looked at Zhao Yushu.

"Hey, that's right. Master Yanhui always wanted to invite me back to Dabei Temple. You should know that, but it was this Divine Condor Hero who tricked him back."

Everyone didn't know who the Condor Hero was, but following Zhao Yushu's gaze, they all looked at the leader.

"After talking about it all, it still comes back to me. Okay, stop guessing. Yan Hui used the excuse that Tubo and Jiannan Dao joined forces to suppress the Red Lotus Sect to force me to hand over Zhao Yushu, but I was also calculating against him, but his cultivation was not as good as his. As for Tubo, they took advantage of this as an excuse to invade the Central Plains and collected Yan Hui's body. Everyone got what they needed, and we still have to fight to see the truth. There is no need to beat around the bush."

The pandit sighed and walked to the bronze bell: "Is there no room for maneuver?"

King Kong stood up and said, "Master, please step back. There is nothing to be afraid of these two."

Zhang Hong and Miao Ming also got ready, ready to attack the three wounded at any time.

There was a burst of applause.

Zhao Yushu clapped his hands and nodded, "Great, great! There are so many people sitting here, and the three monks actually thought they were here to watch you fight? Lord Du, Lord Cao, you two come over here, don't say you are here to be witnesses for Yizhou."

Du Wu and Cao Zheng looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.

"Left Envoy, you have been planning this for so long. You were the one who killed Yan Hui and sent his body to Yizhou. You didn't do this just to watch a few monks perform, did you?"

The leader nodded: "It's not bad to watch a show first. What about you? What are you doing here? Stop me?"

"Can't you?"

"If the master comes, maybe there will be a chance."

Zhao Yushu put his hands on the pergola and looked outside: "Nong Shouguang is just a pawn to attract attention. Who is the Gu King you really want to cultivate in Yizhou?"

The leader also stood up: "In one night, Sword Saint Dugu activated the Heavenly Sword twice in a row. How can a Heavenly Grade Treasure be moved so easily? If it happens once more at most, he will be unable to do anything within a day or two."

The leader touched the bronze bell with his remaining hand and said, "Except for those low-level cultivators, all the famous masters in Yizhou are in Shengci Temple. It is indeed enough to cultivate a Gu King with great perfection in the outer scene. However, once people have cultivated, they like to have wild thoughts and will never be satisfied no matter how much they swallow. Therefore,"

With a loud bang, three mortals vomited blood at the same time. Several monks were also shocked by the sound for a moment, and the bronze bell covering Yan Hui's body was completely overturned.

"I'd rather be a monster for fun."

The leader looked at the stunned crowd. A red lotus the size of a palm, but containing terrifying vitality, bloomed in his hand and slowly fell on the skinny corpse.
