Dongling County, Zhuoguang Mountain.

Yesterday he drank a lot of wine, Zhang Xiaofan sat in the backyard drinking tea after getting up.

He called up the task progress and looked at it, and couldn't help but stare.

[Reputation Mission] Under your leadership, Lingshu Temple has achieved a certain reputation in the Jin Dynasty, but this is not enough. Please let Lingshu see the name of the Qing emblem, resounding in the world

[Reminder] This mission is a series of missions, and there will be multiple judgment criteria. There is no specific content for each mission, and the final achievement and mission evaluation will be used as the basis for rewards. The host should explore by himself

【Current ring number】05/05

[Current Evaluation] Top Jia (Your strength has exceeded Sanzong's expectations, and the Great Jin Dynasty has undergone changes because of you)

"Fifth ring, and the task evaluation is top!"

Zhang Xiaofan showed joy, "So, if Puzhi from Xuankong Temple and Duyin from Taiyi Xianmen came to the door, it's the fourth ring task?"

This prestige task has been done for a long time, and now it is finally coming to an end.

"However, the fourth ring is already so dangerous. Two Taoist bodies have come in a row. I don't know who they will meet in the fifth ring?"

He put down the teacup, feeling a little worried.

At the same time, he couldn't help but look back at the Patriarch Hall.

"The deity is still retreating inside, I don't know when I will be able to leave..."

While he was thinking, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother! I'm back!"

Qingquan's loud voice sounded in the front yard, and then he appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

"Hey, why are you wearing a green robe today? Don't you like wearing blue the most?"

He stared at Zhang Xiaofan slightly, then asked in surprise.

Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but glanced at him, snorted, "I'm tired of wearing blue recently, can't I?"

Qingquan frowned, and said with a sneer, "Of course, as long as senior brother likes it! Senior brother, let me tell you, after I go out this time, it's an eye-opener!"

"Let's not talk about those weird monsters, and delicacies with different colors and flavors, just talk about the girl with three mouths, I really found it..."

He leaned over to the stone table and babbled about what he had seen along the way.

At this moment, Zhan Hong came over from the front yard, respectfully saluted Zhang Xiaofan, and did not interrupt Qing Quan's narration.

In fact, before retreating, Zhang Ming left the [Devil Clan Mark] on Qingquan's body.

He could feel what Qingquan saw and heard along the way, and he didn't need to tell him at all.

However, Zhang Xiaofan saw that he was talking vigorously, so he didn't stop him, but pretended to listen with great interest.

"The evil disaster in Dongling County has been eliminated, and the operation of Tianshi Mansion will also enter a stable period. Zhan Hong, I have to trouble you for the following matters."

He raised his head and said to Zhan Hong who was beside him.

Zhan Hong hurriedly responded respectfully: "It's not a matter of trouble, since I am the master of Tianshi Mansion, all of this is my duty."

Zhang Xiaofan nodded.

Dahei's tall figure swept across the sky above the Lingshu Temple, causing many pilgrims in the front yard to exclaim.

"Hm Chi Hm Chi!"

It greeted Zhang Xiaofan below twice, and disappeared into the depths of the forest.

Zhang Xiaofan let out a laugh: "This is a bargain."

Immediately, he turned to look at the young man who was standing still, and asked, "Zhan Hong, would you like to worship Poverty Dao as your teacher?"

Qingquan and Zhanhong were stunned at the same time.

Worship...worship teacher?

The next moment, Qingquan kicked him violently, waking him up: "Hurry up, hurry up and seize the opportunity!"

Ever since Zhan Hong was expelled from the Qiongyu Sword Sect, the only thing on his mind was to join the Zhuoguang Mountain Lingshu Temple, but he never got the approval of the Qing Hui Daochang.

And he voluntarily became a Taoist cleaner, and now he is the head of the Tianshi Mansion, and he is dedicated to his responsibilities and works hard without complaint.

Even, he watched Yin Xue also worship under Taoist Qing Hui, but he never had a chance.

It is impossible to say that there is no disappointment.

However, after he achieved the path of swordsmanship, he had a tough heart, so he didn't show it at all.

Now this "will you worship me as a teacher" made him stunned for a while, with a silly smile on his face, until he was reminded by Qingquan's kick, he hurriedly said: "Yes! I am willing! I will do what I want, but I dare not Please listen!"

Qingquan pouted: "Return the book."

Zhang Xiaofan laughed, and said: "Since that's the case, Zhan Hong, from today onwards, you will be the fourth disciple of Pindao, named Yixiu."

Zhan Hong fell to his knees with a "plop", and respectfully kowtowed three times.

"Master, please be respected by your disciples!"

This Daoist name was chosen by Qingquan's joke that day, he has long been used to it, and now it is just a rectification of the name.

Qingquan smiled cheerfully and said, "Come and see my uncle soon!"

After serving tea to Zhang Xiaofan, Zhan Hong came over to greet him and said, "Yixiu met Master Qingquan."

Qingquan couldn't help laughing, and said: "Not bad, I have nothing to give you, uncle, why don't you let Xuanxuan, the pet beast, transport you instead!"

As he spoke, he whistled.

I saw a colorful crane flying out from the back mountain, circled twice in mid-air, and landed in the Lingshu temple.

It turns out that Xuanxuan is the name of the colorful crane.

The eye-catching white tiger Huahua raised her head in the corner of the front yard, looked around, and thought to herself, what kind of tricks is this unreliable master doing?

Zhan Hong was very happy to see him, and said with a smile, "Thank you, uncle!"

The two quickly handed over the mark of the beast.

Zhan Hong rode on the back of the crane and flew three times over the Lingshu Temple, attracting the pilgrims outside the Sanqing Hall to call the immortal down to earth.

Zhang Xiaofan watched secretly, thinking in his heart: "The daughter of the plane, Lu Xueqing, and the son of the plane, Zhan Hong, have been completely wiped out by me. However, this Zhan Hong is an apprentice accepted by Pindao. How do you feel. Hehe, I’m afraid there’s no way to renege on the debt.”

He smacked his lips in a wicked manner, picked up the tea cup and drank it down in one gulp.

After a while, there was a dragon chant from outside, and a black flood dragon carrying Guo Xiang landed in the Lingshu temple.

"Xiao Hei! Miss Guo Xiang!"

Qingquan's eyes lit up, and he greeted.

However, most of his eyes fell on Xiao Hei, obviously he has been envious of this senior dragon beast for a long time.

On this trip, he traveled all over Dongling County, teaching all kinds of people, teaching all living beings, and the pet beasts he accepted almost spread all over the county, but no matter the blood, roots, strength, or state, none of them can compare with the one in front of him. Jiaolong.

Guo Xiang walked up to Zhang Xiaofan, and asked worriedly: "Master Qing Hui, the people from Xuankong Temple and Taiyi Xianmen..."

It turned out that she was in a hurry, and the journey was long, and she had just arrived at the Lingshu temple until now.

However, when she approached Qianling Lake, she found that the Taoist temple was peaceful, and it seemed that there had been no major wars, so she felt a little relieved.

Zhang Xiaofan nodded to him and said: "Those four powerful enemies have all fallen."

Guo Xiang let out a sigh of relief when she heard this, her face, which was a little pale by the impact of the wind and frost, quickly turned rosy, and regained the radiance of a girl.

"The Spirit Pivot Temple is fine, so Xiang'er can rest assured."

Her face was soothed, and she suddenly thought of another thing, and said, "Daoist Qing Hui, on my way back this trip, I found that the Jin Dynasty had made a big move, and new edicts were posted in various cities."

Zhang Xiaofan was slightly taken aback: "What edict?"

He didn't go down the mountain for the past two days, and he didn't know what happened outside.

Qingquan and Zhanhong on the side showed smiles and said, "Brother, I haven't had time to tell you about this. Then the empress of the court suddenly issued an edict that she no longer worships Buddhism and restrains Taoism, but... Wipe out all Buddhist sects in the world!"

Zhang Xiaofan frowned: "Pay all Buddhist sects in the world?"

Guo Xiang nodded and added: "Although there is no explicit statement in the content of the edict, it is almost the same. The empress has an order to order Buddhists all over the world to hand in money, grain, grass and treasures to fill the treasury for wartime needs. Those who disobey will be confiscated." Temple, knock down the prison!"

This sentence is resounding.

Zhang Xiaofan shivered, stood up from the sitting position.

"Eliminate Buddhist sects and fill the national treasury? No, it seems that I have calculated everything, but I have fallen into her trap!"

He who has been trying to jump out of the chess game, suddenly understood the ins and outs.

"Worshiping the Buddha and suppressing the Tao, what a worshiping the Buddha and suppressing the Tao! I am afraid that when you issued the edict for the first time, you already thought of today!"

Zhang Xiaofan murmured, "Using the rebound of Taoism to induce disputes in the world; using the view of the Spiritual Pivot as bait, to catch Confucianism, Buddhism and the three sects. Confucianism closed its doors, Buddhism was defeated, and the three sects suffered setbacks one after another. Now is the time for your harvest!"

"I should have seen it sooner! The sheriff's mansion in Tangling County confiscated the property of Xiaohanshan Temple, and you confiscated everything in the sheriff's mansion."

"Amass wealth with the help of Buddhism, and then wipe it out to fill the treasury. So this is your first goal!"

"But, what's next..."

He couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and deduced the move of the empress every step of the way.

Qingquan rubbed his head with question marks all over his face: "What are you talking about, brother?"

Zhan Hong and Guo Xiang looked at each other and thought a lot from it.

Zhang Xiaofan suddenly looked towards the sky, and speculated: "Next, Xuankong Temple will be furious, but there is Taiyi Immortal Sect to hold back, Medicine King Sect sits on the fisherman's seat, and more importantly, there is Lingshu Guan standing in the front... This is the best time for the Great Jin Dynasty to embezzle the three sects!"

"What an empress of the dynasty! Respect the Buddha and restrain the Tao to support the Buddha, and wipe out the Buddhism to enrich the treasury! The hidden wound left by the Northern Expedition may be blocked all at once!"

He finally understood the purpose of the Empress.

Originally, she was a girl, sitting on the throne of God, so she was restrained from left to right, and it was difficult to stabilize the world.

Not to mention that after the Northern Expedition, the national treasury was empty, and there were Dongyi, Northern Wei, Xirong and other countries staring at it on all sides. It was the time when the Great Jin Dynasty was facing internal and external troubles.

But now, after only one year, she has gathered all the money in the world and gathered it in the national treasury, and it has even made the three sects who are on top of the Jin Dynasty suffer.

It can be foreseen that as long as she survives this round of strife among the three sects, as well as the pressure from Dongyi, Northern Wei and other countries, the Great Jin Dynasty will be able to further secure its position in the Southern Jin Dynasty, and even rise to a higher level!

Therefore, worshiping the Buddha and restraining the Tao is the first step!

Filling the treasury is the second step!

Then the third step... must be to embezzle the three sects, completely condense the Jin Dynasty into one rope, and there will be no more sect privileges above the dynasty!

"What a big ambition! What a deep plan! I just don't know how you're going to deal with these three sects. Do you still want to use my Lingshu temple as a gun?"

Zhang Xiaofan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Also, after this third step, will you... have a fourth step? Even, fifth step, sixth step!"

At this moment, he felt a little jealous of this empress whom he had never met before.

If she is given another ten or a hundred years, will the Jin Dynasty usher in an unprecedented prosperity, and even subdue the Quartet and unify the world?

He remembered the imperial decree last time.

Her Majesty the Empress once said that three months later, the Great Jin Dynasty would hold a ceremony to sacrifice to the heavens, and at the ceremony, they would invite the most powerful people in the world to sit down and discuss the Tao, and one of them would be selected as the Grand Master of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Moreover, in the picture she took, she once invited Taoist priest Qing Hui to see him in Kyoto.

And now the so-called three-month deadline is approaching.

"Your next plan should be in this ceremony, right?"

Zhang Xiaofan finally figured out the ins and outs. As early as three months ago, the empress had already thought about the subsequent changes step by step and made preparations.

Even if there was no battle of the three sects yesterday, she would take other opportunities to drag practitioners from all over the world into this muddy water!

It seems that this position of national teacher will definitely be extremely attractive.

However, no matter whether one of the three sects is elected as the national teacher, or there are other hermit powerhouses who become the national teacher, they will have to be labeled as "Great Jin", and thus completely tear themselves apart from the three sects at the top of the dynasty. .

And this is the next plan of the current empress!

Drive away the wolves and devour the tigers, embezzle the three sects, and condense the Jin Dynasty into an iron plate, like an arm command.

"But, you miscalculated the poor..."

Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "Do you think that since I know all of this, I will fall for your tricks and go to the capital to take this muddy water?"

Thinking this way, he sat down again.

Qingquan quickly poured tea and asked in a low voice, "Brother, have you recovered?"

Zhang Xiaofan glared at him: "Since you're back, let's go eat and drink on the hour, let's celebrate today. By the way, the Patriarch Hall is of great use to me, no one is allowed to open the door or enter."

Qing Quan, Zhan Hong, and Guo Xiang should be there, with a smile on their faces.

"Also, that Li Xiaoyao has turned into a true disciple of the poor Taoist priest, and his Taoist name is poor. You go and call him up, and let's have a lively time together."

For him who always likes to be quiet, it is rare for him to have such an arrangement.

Qingquan was so happy that he jumped up immediately, and patted his chest in agreement.

After everyone left, Zhang Xiaofan turned his head and stared in the direction of the Patriarch Hall, and murmured: "My lord, you should continue to retreat properly."

"Even if the sky of the Great Jin Dynasty falls, Her Majesty the Empress will support it. Let's not worry about it, and don't go in this muddy water, let them go!"

He has already made up his mind not to deal with the affairs of the Jin Dynasty.

No matter how the external situation changes, how the aristocratic family and the sect dispute, it has nothing to do with this quiet mountain.

However, sometimes that is the case.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.

At the junction of Beiyou County and Dongling County, Lu Xueqing, Yin Xue and Qu Feiyan were carefully tracking a man in black.

"Elder Qu, after observing this period of time, this person must be a core disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect."

Lu Xueqing whispered, "He went back and forth between Dongling County and Beiyou County continuously, and every time he passed some key information. It's just that I don't know who is connecting with him, and Zhou Yimo from the Scarlet Fire Demon Sect How many connections?"

Qu Feiyan acted steadily, and said in a concentrated voice: "Don't worry, it will be troublesome if you startle the snake."

"Let's continue to follow him. This time he is so far away from Beiyou County, he is likely to meet someone. This is the key for us to find the next chain."

Holding the handle of the knife, Yin Xue said, "When you can hit, call me, and I will cut him down."

Lu Xueqing nodded helplessly and said nothing more.

While speaking, the figure of the man in black in the distance flickered, turning into a ball of black light, flying straight towards the Shiwanda Mountain in the extreme east.
