Chapter 944 The Master’s Panic

After a while, someone came running back from outside. Looking at the expression on his face, Master Jinghong also knew that something had happened. Could it be that even his junior brother had been taken away?

According to Master Jinghong's idea, even if the entire temple cannot be saved, his junior brother has been with him for many years. He is also the backbone of their sect. The two of them have done a lot of things over the years, both openly and secretly. If so, If something happened to his junior brother, it would be like cutting off one of his arms.

Not to mention the grand plans in the future, even if you can protect yourself now is a matter of course. Although there are many monks in Tianlong Temple, most of them are serious monks. Apart from being able to recite scriptures, they don't do anything at all. It doesn't have much effect, all the monks are in Shangqing Temple.

"Something happened, master. All the brothers and sisters in Shangqing Temple are missing, and my uncle is also missing..."

After hearing this, Master Jinghong instantly felt his eyes darken. If it weren't for the two disciples behind him, I'm afraid Master Jinghong would have fainted. This is someone they have trained for many years. The last time they were involved in the siege When that group of Tang people were killed, more than half of them were dead, and only a small half were left. But I didn't expect that this fire would be gone, and even my junior brothers would be gone.

"Did he die or was he captured?"

Master Jinghong couldn't care about anything else now, and he spoke very anxiously. In the past, the word "death" could never be heard in Master Jinghong's mouth.

"There was a fire in Shangqing Temple, and all the houses were burned. We are not sure at all now. According to what the people around us said, no one ran out, maybe..."

Listening to the words of his disciples, there was no trace of color on Master Jinghong's face. If everyone died inside, it would be a good thing according to the current situation. He was afraid of taking away those who should be taken away, and those who are useless If all of them died inside, it would soon be possible to implicate Tianlong Temple.

"Immediately cut off all contact with that place, send some other brothers out to search, let them patrol in secret, find another group of people, tell them that your uncle went out to preach yesterday and didn't come back all night, and asked the government to help ."

Master Jinghong's brain is still very useful, but the Shangqing Temple is obviously useless, so he must cut off contact with them, and Monk Jingren cannot be implicated here.

This is going to cut off a strong man's wrist...

The people present also knew that this should be the best way to deal with it now, but they still had a suspicion in their hearts. The master usually talked about all kinds of courtesy and benevolence, but now it really happened. That's it, I didn't expect it to be such a face.

Of course, it is normal for them to have this idea. All the dirty work in daily life is handed over to Shangqing Temple. In addition to direct conversations between senior brothers, they will not let their subordinates convey various words, so in In the eyes of these disciples, Master Jinghong is a truly enlightened monk.

But now that all the people who did the dirty work were gone, either captured or burned into a pile of ashes, Master Jinghong could no longer continue the demonstration, so he caused his subordinates to react like this. doubt……

However, Master Jinghong has accumulated prestige for a long time. Even if these people are somewhat dissatisfied, they still have to keep their mouths shut. Don't you see the look in Master Jinghong's eyes that wants to kill someone? If we don't do what the master said, we might have to be ghosts today. Let alone serving Buddha, even if we serve Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, we still have to see if we have that destiny.

Soon everyone around the royal city was alarmed, including the palace and Zhennan Palace. They were not ordinary people on the street. They knew the origin of Shangqing Temple.

In the eyes of many ordinary people, this is just a small temple. Except for some common people around, not many people come here to offer incense. Most of them go to Tianlong Temple.

But for the dignitaries, do they know how powerful this humble little temple is? It is a secret representative of Tianlong Temple. Some of the dirty work is done by the monks of Shangqing Temple. The fire was burned out. This was definitely not done by ordinary forces. Who has this ability?

Many people are suspicious of King Zhennan, because His Royal Highness and Master Jinghong have a very good relationship, and both of them are short of wearing a pair of trousers. Of course, at least on the surface, this is the case. King Zhennan hates Tianlong Temple to the core of his teeth. Even some superficial articles are not done.

If someone is to be suspected, King Zhennan is ranked first. It’s not surprising at all. It’s just that King Zhennan is a very cunning person. Even though he controls most of Nanzhao’s strength, this guy still doesn’t raise any suspicion. How could the banner of rebellion suddenly attack Tianlong Temple?

King Zhennan has been dissatisfied with Master Jinghong for more than a day or two. If he had taken action, he would have done it a long time ago. Why wait until today?

What's more, in the eyes of many dignitaries, even if King Zhennan wanted to attack Shangqing Temple, he would have to gather most of his men's strength. Don't think that Shangqing Temple is an ordinary temple and there are capable people inside. There are so many people, and almost every monk has his or her own unique skills.

Therefore, if King Zhennan wants to take action, there will be some movement in the market after all. But now, let alone King Zhennan’s power everywhere, even some of King Zhennan’s experts in the royal city are scattered in various places. They were all together and didn't gather together at all. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that this matter had nothing to do with King Zhennan.

So this matter was not done by King Zhennan, could it be done by His Highness the King?

Many people had this idea in their minds, but it quickly disappeared. This was simply impossible. The battle between His Royal Highness and the King of Zhennan was at a fever pitch, and His Royal Highness did not have any advantage at all. He was also counting on Master Jinghong's help. If he cut off one of Master Jinghong's arms, it would be of no benefit to His Highness the King. Unless he was stupid, otherwise he would never be able to do such a thing. thing.

Since neither of them can do it, what's going on? The strength of Shangqing Temple is extraordinary, and it is definitely not something that ordinary nobles can deal with. Although the Queen Mother has strength, most of her strength lies in the court, and it is not within the scope of the royal city, so it can be excluded. Who set the fire at Shangqing Temple?
