Chapter 173 Public Execution
"Could it be that they quietly spread the news, so someone came to save them now?" One of the hazy Taoist priests asked.
"How is that possible! We have imprisoned them all, sealed their magic powers, confiscated communication talismans, and magic weapons. No matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to notify the outside world!"
Another Haze Taoist priest heard this question and quickly explained, with a certain and affirmative tone in his words, as if the entire Maoshan Mountain was in their pocket.
"That's right."
"Oh, don't think too much, let's go back and continue drinking. Tomorrow, Taoist Master Shi will execute them in public. After he takes complete control of Maoshan, our Blood Yin Sect will be merged into Maoshan.
Taoist Master Shi also promised to be given the position of elder, and your senior brother and I can at least be given the position of deacon. By then, our Bloodyin Sect, under the wings of Maoshan, will be able to establish its foothold in the monastic world with integrity. "
"That's right, after senior brother becomes a deacon, he should support his junior brother more."
"sure."
"..."
After finishing speaking, the two began to walk towards the mountain gate. Ye Wentian's six senses have been observing the movement. They were only a few miles apart, and the conversation between the two reached Ye Wentian's ears without missing a word.
Execution in public tomorrow?Ye Wentian also understood the general situation at that moment. It was probably Shi Jian who had colluded with outsiders and controlled the entire Maoshan.
Uncle Jiu once said that there are six elders in Maoshan, all of them are innate, and the one with the highest cultivation level is in the late stage of innate, and he can almost catch up with Zhang Daoquan's half-step to god transformation.
With such strength, they will be defeated. The intruders must be people with advanced cultivation, or there are many innate cultivators who will attack in groups.
Then wait one night and wait for the public execution tomorrow to see how the opponent's power is. It would be good if it can be solved with this external incarnation.
If you can't beat him, you can only call me.Instead, he could rush back to Chongyang Palace overnight and pull away the fellow Taoists who had not yet left to help.
However, as the guardian of Maoshan, it is my duty to protect the stability and orthodoxy of Maoshan. If I call someone, wouldn't I owe people cause and effect for no reason? This cannot be owed randomly. If it is not necessary, it is better not to call him.
Ordinary people may be able to repay favors with money, materials, or powerful women, but the cause and effect among monks is different. Some monks may not contact you for hundreds of years.
But when it comes to actually needing you to repay the cause and effect, it must be something that is beyond the other party's ability or difficult to solve. It can be anything from mountains of swords to seas of fire. If something goes wrong, you will have to use your life to make up for it.
With this external incarnation and the current ability of the deity, it is easy to defeat the enemy incarnation.
Moreover, there is also the Qiankun Ding, the power of the spiritual treasure. With the current innate cultivation level, there are almost few people who can escape the lock of the Qiankun Ding under the transformation of gods.
This Maoshan crisis should be solved by oneself, but there is no need to owe others cause and effect for no reason.
Ye Wentian concentrated on sensing the surrounding situation and found that there was nothing unusual. He summoned a futon, sat down on the spot and started practicing.
At this time, the ninety-nine-foot-tall bronze statue of Laozi had not yet been built in the Yuanfu Wanning Palace in Maoshan. It was only built in 1996, and it was still several decades later.
While waiting quietly for the passage of time, the people in the Maoshan Taoist Temple inside the mountain gate were shouting loudly. The sound of clinking glasses and noises filled my ears. It was so lively.
In the Yuanfu Wanning Palace of Nuo University, there is a long dining table in the deepest hall. There are more than 20 people sitting on the left and right of the dining table, changing cups and cups, and they are extremely happy.
Sitting in the top position was Shi Jian, with his sarcastic face and a proud look that could not be concealed even though he tried to pretend to be serious. He was truly evil.
"Fellow Daoist Shi can be said to have made a comeback this time."
"Yanhu, what are you talking about?! Fellow Daoist Shi is the son of the previous head of the family. This great Maoshan should be inherited by Fellow Daoist Shi. It is his own property. How can he stand up and make the decision?"
"Oh, look at my mouth, fellow Daoist Shi! I will make amends to you, and Yanhu will punish himself with a drink!"
"Haha~ It's okay, let's drink together!"
In fact, Shi Jian was already unhappy when Yanhu opened his mouth, but he was well versed in the art of finding a way to meet fate and did not show any dissatisfaction on his face.
And thinking that he still needs the help of these people recently so that he can easily control Maoshan and will be merged into the Maoshan system in the future, so at this moment, Shi Jian also pretended to be ingratiating and invited people to drink with him with a smile.
After three drinks and five dishes, Shi Jian raised his hands and clapped them, both to call people over and to signal everyone to be quiet.
After a while, a man walked in from the door. He had a cold face and peach blossom eyes. He was wearing a green robe, a ponytail on the back of his head, and a strand of hair falling on his face, blocking his right eye.
"Dad, what's the matter?"
"Didn't I tell you that you would call me Master in front of other people!"
"Master!"
"Hey, that's right, go and bring Zhao Dun here!"
"Yes!"
Shi Shaojian agreed and turned around and went out. Shi Jian saw the rouge mark on Shi Shaojian's face and immediately understood that this boy had just been playing with women outside the door, but Shi Jian didn't say much.
Now that I have broken up with Maoshan, there is no need to pretend to be cautious anymore. From now on, I should act with sharpness and self-respect, and some bad habits will not matter.
"Master Shi is so handsome and extraordinary, just like his father!"
"That's right, maybe you can grow into the next fellow Taoist Stone in the future."
"..."
Compliments came from the left and right, and Shi Jian greeted them with smiles. The words coincided, and the wine table became more and more harmonious.
After a while, Shi Shaojian brought Zhao Dun over. There were two Maoshan disciples on Zhao Dun's left and right, taking him into custody. The face of the man in his fifties or sixties looked haggard.
There were scars all over his body, and through the bleeding holes in his clothes you could still see the flesh that had burst open inside. It was obvious that he had been tortured. At this time, the magic power was also sealed and the magical weapons were confiscated, making it almost impossible to resist at all.
"Old guy! It was you who took the lead in disagreeing with me being the leader of Maoshan. Now, I, Shi Jian, still hold Maoshan in the palm of my hand, hahaha!
Didn’t you still try me some time ago? But now you look at how high-spirited I, Shi Jian, am, and how unkempt you are! "
"How could we, Maoshan, have such a scum like you!"
Although Zhao Dun had no strength to resist, he still looked at Shi Jian with an angry look, looking at Shi Jian coldly, wanting to kill him with his eyes.
"I'll give you another chance. As long as you agree to cooperate with me in controlling Maoshan, you can avoid death."
In fact, if you really want to instigate rebellion, there is no need to bring Zhao Dun here. There will always be people who are afraid of death and surrender at the feet of Shi Jian.With Shi Jian's arrogance, this moment was just to vent his inner dissatisfaction.
He doesn't really want to instigate Zhao Dun to rebel, but if Zhao Dun is willing to cooperate with him to control Maoshan, that would be great.
