Chapter 912: Grab and Run
Chapter 912: Grab and Run (ask for monthly ticket)
"April 26th, more than two months away, so there's plenty of time..."
Liang Qu calculated silently.
Vajra King is the master of the Dharma.
The five major Taoist sects, local forces, court officials, devout believers... You don't have to see it with your own eyes, just by hearing these names you know it will be an unparalleled event, rarely seen in a decade or so.
Obviously.
This Dharma lecture is open to the general public.
Its real purpose is not to teach sentient beings, but to tell people in the world that Vajra King has entered the realm of Yaolong and achieved the status of Arhat.
It’s a bit late.
It has been nearly two years since the old monk became a Martial Saint, but a sutra lecture and Dharma assembly is not something that can be prepared hastily. It is normal to take more than half a year, and reports to the imperial court must be submitted in the meantime.
This kind of super-large event, which brings together many masters and even martial saints, cannot be carried out privately without permission. Liang Qu even felt that he had his own factors involved. He secluded himself for nearly a year, and the old monk deliberately postponed the event and chose a suitable time.
"Wait, you don't want me to be the speaker, do you?"
Liang Qu flipped through the pages of the letter.
In the letter, Master Dixian simply said that the "Dharma Master" of the Dharma Lecture Assembly was Vajra King, but did not specify who the "main lecturer" and "re-lecturer" would be. This was very unusual, and made him feel depressed.
"Tell everything?" Long Eying was puzzled.
"The one who is responsible for asking questions." Liang Qu rubbed his eyebrows.
There was an old monk in his family, so he was not unfamiliar with Buddhist matters.
These three are the inherent configurations of the Dharma lectures.
"Dharma Master", "Lecture Master" and "High Seat" are all names for the "main lecturer". In addition to the main lecturer, there is also the "Du Jiang", who is an assistant in the Dharma Assembly. His role is to take on the responsibilities of "singing and guiding", "reciting scriptures" and "asking questions".
The so-called "asking difficult questions" is a bit aggressive, which is equivalent to asking questions for the listeners, pointing out the loopholes and contradictions of the lecturer, so as to enrich the content of the lecture.
As for "repeat", it is just a megaphone, repeating the "main speaker's" remarks to the public.
The identity and status of the "general speaker" are often only slightly inferior to those of the main speaker, and he is the "second in command" of the Dharma Assembly.
A good "all speak" will greatly enhance the level of the Dharma lecture. If the "difficult questions" are asked well and the Dharma master answers them well, people will feel that both of them are awesome.
Very important.
The letter does not reveal the identity of the "spokesperson", which does make people suspicious.
With the old monk's character...
Liang Qu is not narcissistic.
Although they were not master and disciple in name, he and the old monk were master and disciple in reality, and they even achieved mutual success. He himself was the youngest Zhenxiang master in Dashun, and his reputation spread far and wide.
Even from an outsider's perspective, he is absolutely qualified as a "speaker".
But others don’t know that he only studies academic subjects and does not learn the law.
Liang Qu inexplicably felt a little "guilty" and "timid".
The Hanging Temple asked him to be a "repeater", and he thought he was just so-so, as long as he could punctuate the scriptures properly.
But if we talk about "everything", the level of the questions asked may not be as good as those of some devout believers!
On April 26, there were many experts in the field.
How embarrassing it is to ask why one plus one equals two?
"Are you going?" Long Eying asked.
"Go! It's convenient to go west. Besides, we need to invite the master back to Pingyang. The departure date is April 26th. We should try to leave in early April."
Even if you don't understand, you have to go.
Liang Qu put away the letter, suppressed his emotions and stopped thinking about anything else.
At worst, you can have a question-and-answer session with the old monk before giving the lecture.
Some of the "difficult questions" are genuine and are meant to test the master's level, but there are also people who privately express their appreciation for good scripts.
……
Datong Prefecture is located in the Central Plains, so letters can be sent to Pingyang, and other places will also receive the news sooner or later.
There were large numbers of people in orthodox Taoist sects such as Louguantai and Dongtian Sect, including disciples, elders, and attendants, often numbering in the thousands. They were like a small army, and they were mighty and powerful. In order to avoid any accidents, they all prepared convoys and dry food early and marched towards the Hanging Temple.
In Datong Prefecture.
All the big restaurants with good reputations were booked by the devout believers for three or even four months at a time to entertain the guests. The fast-moving wanderers drank and boasted, spending a lot of money, and they were not afraid to invite a few people to sit down at the feet of the Buddha.
It was a lively scene.
Lu has his own meeting.
Water has its own way.
In the Jianghuai Lake, after nearly a month of celebration, the Toad Clan's territory finally regained a little peace. A large amount of leftovers were stuffed under the giant water lilies, where they thrived and grew lush and green.
"Where's Ah Fei?"
The Toad King was lying in the cave, scratching his belly, and suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have seen any fat catfish at the banquet in the past half month.
When I woke up, I didn't see the new ship.
It is very unhappy.
……
Late February.
Eastern waters.
Pai Xiaoxing successively received the two huge tentacles bitten off by the goblin, and immediately connected them to his own center, merging the two, and intermittently connected to some of the "Manxing Network", constantly retrieving useful information.
"Eight Beauties of Jianghuai..."
"Ghost Mother Cult..."
After experiencing the rule, Pai Xiaoxing, who has become intelligent and different from the other sub-bodies who are slow in thinking, becomes more and more frightened the more he looks at it, and quickly informs the gods of the urgent situation.
midnight.
"Is it really Meng Baihuo?"
Liang Qu suddenly woke up and gently pushed away Long Eying who was pressing on him. He put on his clothes, went to the study, took out the map of Daze, lit a lamp and picked up a pen, circled the key points in two directions.
The candlelight is dim.
Dry mouth.
Two breaking news, one is correct!
The Ghost Mother Cult is hiding in the East Waters!
The news about the Eight Beauties of Jianghuai was also caused by the Ghost Mother Cult!
What Liang Qu circled on the map was the location of the two prince-level branches of the Ghost Mother Sect that he had learned about by sending Xiaoxing to connect to the "Manxing Network". He even knew the strength of the two branches clearly. When the two are added together, the top-level strength is stronger than that of Pingyang Hepo, with a total of nine Zhenxiang masters, two in the third realm, four in the second realm, and three in the first realm!
Get rid of the dragon man.
Su, Wei, Xu, Liang, Yang and the wanderer Weng Lijun, there are six people who have reached the highest level, and among them, there is only one, Su Guishan, who has reached the second level!
"The southern waters are indeed abandoned veins!"
Liang Qu's eyes flickered.
The Jianghuai Lake is vast and boundless, with countless islands.
It is indeed hard to find, but over the past few decades, it can only be found when the Ghost Mother Cult commits a crime and leaves behind evidence. If they don't commit a crime, they cannot be found. They must have some unique skills.
There are eighteen veins in the Ghost Mother Sect. He Bo had fought three of them before. The most he had were only three Zhenxiang. Even the lowest Duke vein had ordinary strength.
Infighting?
No matter what force it is, it is impossible for them to be united as one, and it is normal to eliminate some dissidents.
And the Eight Beauties of Jianghuai were indeed a bait.
The two prince-level branches accidentally got hold of the trace of the top-level precious fish "Meng Baihuo"!
This was a rare opportunity, and they used it as bait to trap the white ape!
But this was not Jiaolong's idea, but an internal idea of the Ghost Mother Cult. The intention was to create a big momentum first, then release the trace of the precious fish, capture the white ape, and then make profits from Jiaolong.
Thousands of thoughts.
"So Easy?"
Liang Qu put down his brush, leaned back in his chair, stared at the wet words on the white paper and began to doubt his life.
Several clues were clearly organized and laid out on the table.
The front and back veins are visible.
I thought this treasure hunt would be very troublesome.
If the treasure fish is kept in captivity for a long time, it will lose its spirituality.
Therefore, the Ghost Mother did not capture the Dream White Fish. They took advantage of the "omnipresent" nature of the Net Lord to keep the whereabouts of the precious fish firmly in their hands.
Why don't you dig two more tentacles and find the whereabouts of "Meng Baihuo"? Then you can use [Water Travels Thousand Miles] to snatch it and run away, right?
