While Lin Ze and Zhuang Zhou were talking, several sounds suddenly sounded outside the dormitory.

Wu Fan's hurried and high-pitched words followed: "Your Majesty, the three celestials ask to see you. ”

As soon as the words fell, Meng Ke Maitreya Jizang followed Wu Fan to the door of the dormitory.

Wu Fan knelt on the ground and bowed: "The three celestials are anxious to see Your Majesty, but Weichen can't stop them, and they can't report in advance, hoping that Your Majesty will surrender." ”

Lin Ze's cold eyes swept over Meng Ke Maitreya Dizang, who had a vague lingering panic on his face, and replied indifferently: "This matter has nothing to do with you, there is no need to blame yourself, you just retreat, and I will handle the rest personally." ”

"Your Majesty Haihan, Weichen retreats," Wu Fan bowed and replied, and quickly got up and retreated.

Lin Ze glanced at Meng Ke and the others, and said indifferently: "The three Taoist friends are coming in a hurry, they must have something to say, so don't stand at the door, come in first." ”

Meng Ke and the three of them glanced at each other, and stepped into the dormitory in turn and came to Lin Ze.

Lin Ze looked at the three people who were less than three meters away from him, his expression moved slightly, and his body moved to the side silently to ensure that Zhuang Zhou was in the middle of everyone.

"It's late at night, and the three fellow Daoists are not resting in their residence, why did they come here?"

Lin Ze asked indifferently with an inquiring look on his face.

Meng Ke raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Does King Qin know that the inferior people have just been attacked?"

Lin Ze bowed slightly, and replied with a serious face: "I know, the breath is so obvious, I sensed it as early as the beginning of the outbreak." ”

"Just now I was discussing this matter with my senior brother, there was not only the powder of the Buddhist relics at the scene, but also the remnants of Haoran's righteous breath, so it can be inferred that the person who shot it was the Buddha and the Confucian sage. ”

Meng Ke said with a solemn expression: "I waited for this to come for this matter, Zhuang Sheng went to the scene, while probing and comforting us, it didn't take long for him to leave suddenly, but he didn't disclose relevant information to us, we are very worried, I want to know what Zhuang Sheng has found?"

Lin Ze looked at Zhuang Zhou with a strange expression and asked, "Didn't Senior Brother make it clear to them?"

Zhuang Zhou said calmly: "Didn't my junior brother ask me to come to you quickly?"

"Ahem"

Lin Ze was slightly embarrassed and said: "This is a misunderstanding, and I hope the three Taoist friends will forgive me for the faux pas." ”

"My senior brother just told me that there was no trace of the Buddha's Confucian sage coming in and out of the scene except for the broken relics and the books that were turned into pieces, so it is inferred that the Buddha and the Confucian sage shot out of the air through some medium, in order to test your hypocrisy. ”

"As people who have experienced this and know a lot about the Buddha's Confucianism, I wonder if you have different views on this?"

"For example, what means did the Buddha and Confucianism use? What means did you rely on to escape? In addition, do you have other countermeasures? If you are attacked again next time, how long will you be able to last at most?"

"The more detailed the better, the traces are not only conducive to my senior brother to deduce the current state and strength of the Buddha and Confucianism, but also allow my family to formulate countermeasures. ”

Lin Ze naturally wanted to understand as thoroughly as possible, as for what it was for, only he knew best in his heart.

Meng Ke didn't answer Lin Ze's question, but his face was slightly gloomy, and his tone was very cold: "As far as I know, it seems that the appearance of the Zhuang Sheng is a little slow, and the Dao Sheng has not shown up from beginning to end. ”

Lin Ze was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then sighed slightly and said: "I apologize for this for the Dao Palace and my senior brother, but please understand, since my senior brother wants to be sure not to be noticed by the Buddha and Confucianism, so as not to dare to come forward, the only way is to stay away." ”

"In fact, my senior brother has been secretly monitoring Chang'an all the time, and as soon as the incident happened, he rushed to it as quickly as possible, although he couldn't arrive at the first time, but he did his best. ”

"As for my teacher, Daosheng, although he did not show up, I believe that his old man has been here, but he found that the traces of the Buddha and Confucianism are not visible, and it is difficult to pursue, so I don't want to startle the snake. ”

A sneer appeared on Meng Ke's face when he heard this: "King Qin is shirking cleanly, I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case." ”

Lin Ze's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was not good: "If Meng Ke Sage has any ideas, you can open them up, and you don't have to hide them. ”

"In order to solve your troubles once and for all, the Dao Palace has paid a lot, and in the end, the Dao Palace should pay the price, not to mention the benefits, and even the reputation is ruined, so it is better to stop there. ”

"From now on, whether you are imprisoned in Chang'an, or risk going out of the city to win a glimmer of life, you can do it yourself, and it has nothing to do with my Dao Palace. ”

As soon as Lin Ze's words came out, the faces of the three of them changed, and Meng Ke couldn't help but retort: "King Qin, don't say that you are too high-minded, although this matter is to solve our worries, it is not to fight for the Mandate of Heaven for the Dao Palace to sweep away future troubles." ”

"We cooperate with the Dao Palace, and we do not hesitate to use ourselves as bait, mainly so that we can live in peace of mind, and now that our lives are in danger, how can we be happy in our hearts?"

"Besides, Zhuang Sheng came late, I'm afraid it wasn't because he didn't have the strength to catch it, but he came to King Qin's place first, and confirmed that King Qin was okay before he went to the place where we were attacked, right?"

Maitreya took a step forward and added: "The poor monk and others have just been attacked, and Zhuang Sheng came here without even understanding what happened, it seems that he is suspected of despising the poor monk and others?"

Lin Ze's dark eyes swept over the two of them, and he said quietly: "I didn't expect the two of you to have a lot of complaints about what the Dao Palace did, because they felt that the risk was too great, so they wanted to retreat, right?"

Meng Ke's face was extremely ugly and said: "King Qin, we know that we are under the eaves and have to bow our heads, but King Qin wants to blackmail us with this, don't you think it's a bit excessive?"

Lin Ze said indifferently: "Everyone takes what they need, why talk about it too much? You must know that this matter has nothing to do with my Dao Palace, it was I who was very kind, so I took you in, and now you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and always want to achieve your goal without paying a little price, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

As soon as Lin Ze said this, the atmosphere in the audience froze for a while.

Jizo, who had not spoken all this time, hurriedly came out and said: "At present, everyone should be unanimous with the outside world, and it is important to solve the hidden Buddha and Confucianism. ”

Lin Ze said coldly: "Mutual trust is the basis of cooperation, Meng Ke Sage Maitreya Buddha Lord is suspicious of allies for no reason, I even suspect that the two of you have other plans in mind, don't you want to take the opportunity to break with the Dao Palace, so as to rejoin the Buddha and Confucianism?"

"If you really have this kind of thought in your heart, I will think that you are very pathetic, and the Buddha and Confucian saints may not accept you again, but it is very likely that the door will be cleared. ”

Jizang coughed lightly and said: "If you don't hide it from King Qin, it is impossible for the poor monks and others to surrender to the Buddha and Confucianism again, and make a living." ”

"It's just that the attack not long ago did make the three of us a little frightened, and now it hasn't eased up, and we asked the above questions to let the Dao Palace fully consider our feelings and truly become a partner, not someone who uses whom. ”

Lin Ze chuckled and said, "Having said so much, it's better to say your real thoughts and intentions, which are really inconsistent with the current situation." ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "Due to various considerations, such as why to increase the speed of rescue, how to ensure our safety as much as possible, etc., it has been unanimously decided that the daily life will be the same as that of King Qin." ”

"In this way, if we are in danger, in order to protect King Qin, Zhuang Sheng will never be perfunctory like today. ”
