Chapter 3332
The scenery on the mountain peak was indeed pleasant. Not to mention the trickling streams at the foot of the mountain, the green cypresses on the side of the winding mountain path, and the faint pools that appeared from time to time under the shade of the trees, just the occasional elk and antelope that appeared between the mountain peaks and leisurely walked in front of people as if they were psychic was enough to make people's hearts stay here.
The top of the mountain was a little different from the bottom of the mountain.
Not only were palaces made of jade hidden in the green, but they were also embellished all around the mountain peaks. Many young men in clean clothes were either holding folding fans in their hands or holding green swords in their hands, shuttling back and forth between these palaces. Not only were they walking indifferently, but they were also flying on green lights. All of them were calm and dignified.
This was the mountain gate of the Chongyun Sect in the Country of Xi.
In the innermost part of the palaces, there was a place that looked like a jade seal, and there was a palace that looked like a crown. At this moment, in the palace, an old man with a Confucian crown on his head was sitting behind a jade table. His face was extremely solemn, and he looked coldly at the four people in front of him. These four people were none other than Mo Yan, Mo Jianli, Qiu Jian, Li Mo Ming, and Ji Dong.
And this old man was the head of the Chongyun Sect, Shangguan Feiyu, a great Confucian scholar who had cultivated to the level of master.
Facing Shangguan Feiyu's colder gaze, Mo Jianli and the other three people lowered their heads, not daring to say anything.
It seemed that if they moved a little, the gaze would turn into a flying sword and pierce into their bodies.
"Mo Yan!"
Although Shangguan Feiyu wanted to suppress the anger in his heart, he could not help but show it in his words. He did not even call him "Jianli" as he usually did.
"Yes, head!" Mo Jianli hurriedly answered.
"You really did not find the whereabouts of the old bald donkey Ci Hang?" Shangguan Feiyu suppressed the anger in his heart and asked again.
Mo Jianli raised his head with a bitter smile on his face and replied, "Sect Leader, this disciple's cultivation is limited. At that time, I lost track of Ci Hang … Senior. Later on, this disciple was busy with disaster relief. I really didn't have the time to look for that senior.
And then … "
Speaking of this, the bitter smile on Mo Jianli's face became thicker, and he did not dare to continue. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Later, I looked for the legend of the Sea God in the Longevity Town …"
"Stop!" Shangguan Feiyu waved his hand, "You have said this four times!"
"Yes …" Mo Jianli quickly shut his mouth.
"Are the villagers of Longevity Town really raising funds to build a Guanyin Golden Body?"
Shangguan Feiyu had just mentioned Mo Jianli, but this was the fifth time he had asked about Mo Jianli. It seemed that he did not believe the news about Mo Jianli.
Mo Jianli replied respectfully, "Yes.
When I left, there were already tens of thousands of good people in Longevity Town. Many of them were rich people from the surrounding areas. They were discussing how to build a hundred feet golden body in Longevity Town! "
"How is this possible?"
Shangguan Feiyu couldn't help but stand up. The airflow around him was so strong that Mo Jianli and the other three couldn't stand still.
"Longevity Academy has been in Longevity Town for so many years, educating countless Confucian disciples. My Chongyun Sect has protected Longevity Town for even longer.
Why is it that a simple flooding of the Town of Immortals and an old bald donkey of the Buddhist Sect can steal their hearts? "
Shangguan Feiyu really couldn't understand. "Even their basic necessities, food, housing, transportation, and farmland were all given to them by the king of the Country of Xi, right?"
"Besides, the Buddhist Sect has never built a Dharma Golden Body in Zang Xian Land. Even the Buddha statues in the temples are restricted by us Confucian cultivators.
For no reason … why would someone want to build a Dharma Golden Body in Longevity Town?
This … must be done by the old bald donkey of the Yunlin Temple. The Buddhist Sect must be behind this! "
"Sect Master, this … it doesn't matter whether the Buddhist Sect is behind this or not. What's important is that we can't let the Dharma Golden Body be built in Jiangchao Ridge!"
Mo Jianli said hurriedly, "Once the Dharma Golden Body is built, not only will the Longevity Academy lose its foothold in Longevity Town, even the Chongyun Sect won't be able to show its face in the Country of Xi!"
"Hmph, this is just a small one. Once the Dharma Golden Body is built, we Confucian cultivators won't be able to raise our heads!
The Zang Xian Land is the place where we Confucian cultivators taught. Now it has been conquered by the Buddhist Sect. With this first Dharma Golden Body, thousands of other Dharma Golden Bodies will be built. We can't stop them! "Shangguan Feiyu said coldly.
Then, Shangguan Feiyu waved his hand and said coldly, "The Chongyun Sect must stop this so-called Dharma Golden Body by any means!"
"Yes, I understand!" Mo Jianli nodded. However, before he could finish, Shangguan Feiyu said, "Mo Yan, you've done a good job in the Longevity Town. I've already rewarded you according to your merits in the Merit Hall.
The Longevity Town is getting more and more serious. Your cultivation is not enough to support it. You don't have to worry about it! "
"This …" Mo Jianli hesitated and said tentatively, "Although my cultivation is low, I'm very familiar with the Longevity Town. I know the reasons behind it. I think I can do it."
"Haha, familiarity and clarity are not important!" Shangguan Feiyu said with a smile, "What we need now is an iron fist!
Fools always think that they can defeat the Heavens with their strength. However, they don't know that in the eyes of Heaven, they are just ants.
Our Chongyun Sect has controlled the Country of Xi for so many years. How can we let them succeed?
We just need to ask the government to use some means to drive them away.
I've only mentioned your merits and not your faults. When you go back, you have to think about it carefully. See where you went wrong and what you can gain from the Longevity Town!
Jian Li, you are the most outstanding disciple of our Chong Yun Sect. This old man has high hopes for you! "
"Yes, I know. A gentleman has three reflections on himself. I should follow suit!"
Mo Jianli replied respectfully. Then, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Besides, I've thought about it for a long time on my way back to the sect. I have some ideas, but I don't know if they are correct!"
"Oh?
Tell us! "Shangguan Feiyu raised his eyebrows and nodded.
"We, the Confucian cultivators, use etiquette to educate the people. We use poems and books to pass down generations. We help people learn how to read and get rid of ignorance. We build a country and form order!
But … we don't form a belief in their hearts. We don't make them follow us from the bottom of their hearts.
We only set up rules and regulations around them, and let them live and grow within them. "
Mo Jianli's tone was a little weak. He stole a glance at Shangguan Feiyu and said tentatively, "The Buddhism Sect uses Buddhism to set up rules and regulations. They do things with kindness and benevolence. They make people respect them and follow them.
Although people are small, there is a tiger in their hearts. We, the Confucian cultivators, can control the small people, but we can't control the fierce tiger.
One or two people are easy to control. But if there are millions of people, millions of tigers, it's even harder for us to control them. It's inevitable that they will be like the flood and fierce beasts in the Longevity Town … "
"Shut up!"
Before Mo Jianli could finish, Shangguan Feiyu shouted, "Mo Yan, do you know what you are saying?"
Mo Jianli was shocked. He hurriedly shut his mouth, bowed and said, "I … I know I was wrong. I was worried because the situation in the Longevity Town was out of control …"
"Ah, Jianli, you are too smart, but your experience can't keep up with your cultivation. Now, you are facing a layer of mental retardation. This is both a test for you and a disaster for you. If you can get rid of the Buddhism and Confucianism, I will congratulate you. It won't take you many years to reach the level of master and become a great Confucian cultivator.
But if you can't get rid of it, I'm afraid you will fall into a state of eternal damnation! "
Shangguan Feiyu sighed and said, "I thought you would encounter this disaster in twenty years. I didn't expect that the trip to the Longevity Town would bring you to this stage!
It seems that the old bald donkey Ci Hang's fruit has affected you quite a bit! "
"I …" Mo Jianli didn't expect that his feelings would have such a deep impact. He was shocked and didn't know how to answer.
"Go back and cultivate in seclusion!"
Shangguan Feiyu waved his sleeve, "I am regretting sending you to the Longevity Town."
"Disciple understands ~" Mo Jianli bowed. Just as he was about to leave, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said, "That's right, disciple mentioned to Sect Leader before. Sect Leader, please pay more attention to that Dao Sect's Xiao Hua.
This senior has a noble character, and there are traces of Confucianism on him. If we can get him on our side, it will be beneficial to our Chongyun Sect! "
"Don't bother!"
Shangguan Feiyu waved his hand in annoyance, "He is just a little Taoist cultivator. Even if he has some character, what can he do?
He is not worthy of our Chongyun Sect! "
"Yes, I will listen to you, Sect Master!"
Mo Jianli had a very good impression of Xiao Hua. Originally, he wanted to ask Shangguan Feiyu for a reward for Xiao Hua. Unfortunately, when he reported the changes in the Longevity Town of Buddhism, Shangguan Feiyu could no longer stay calm. Thinking about the future of the Chongyun Sect and the embarrassment of the Confucian cultivators, Shangguan Feiyu no longer wanted to reward a Taoist cultivator.
Thus, Mo Jianli's last hope was shattered.
After Mo Jianli and the other three left, Shangguan Feiyu took a deep breath and sat down. However, a moment later, he stretched out his hand again. His slender and fair fingers played on the white jade table as if he was playing a zither. Shangguan Feiyu frowned even more as his fingers, which were whiter than the white jade, moved. After a meal, Shangguan Feiyu's hand paused. A violent aura burst out from his fingers. The Noble Spirit in the air rushed into the table with this aura.
"Boom!" Like a hammer, the jade table was smashed into pieces by Shangguan Feiyu's finger. Shangguan Feiyu stood up and said to himself, "The Buddhism Sect has established a Bodhisattva Dharma Body in the Longevity Town. This is a shame to the Chongyun Sect and the Confucian cultivators. If the Chongyun Sect can't deal with this alone, the other sects can't just sit and watch!"
Then, a cloud appeared under Shangguan Feiyu's feet. He quickly rushed out of the palace and disappeared into the depths of the Xu Liu Mountains.
