Chapter 1068 Let me try
The Confucian sage gently raised his hand: "That's right, it's clear now!"
"That's exactly what should be done!" The Sage of Law raised his hand, and a huge guillotine appeared out of thin air. With a "swish" sound, the fourth hall master was split into two halves.
Blood was first seen on the altar.
Everyone in the room was stunned.
It was not until this moment that they realized that fighting for the position of Palace Master also had a price to pay. If one failed to do so properly, one would die.
The Sage of Law slowly lowered his eyes and said, "After review, all of the former five Palace Masters, one Chief, four Vice-Presidents, and five Vice-Presidents, were found to be unqualified. The opportunity should be left to the Palace Masters of the Three Pavilions and the Forty-One Palace. Palace Masters, are you interested in competing for this position?"
All forty-four people had their hearts pounding.
The Palace Master was so close to them for the first time in his life.
Moreover, it is a brand new palace master position with the greatest power.
Who doesn't want that?
But who dares to ask for it?
If you want it, you must approach the holy way to cleanse your heart, and the truest side of your heart will be completely exposed.
This exposure would at best ruin his reputation, and the hall master and the first three deputy hall masters had personally verified it.
In serious cases, the person will die and the body of the fourth deputy hall master is still lying there.
Luo Wuxin slowly raised his eyes, his hair fluttering gently in the wind, but he did not take this step.
The lips of the Mo Palace Master beside him trembled slightly, but it was just a tremor.
The Dao Palace Master raised his eyes and glanced at the Dao Saint above...
For a moment, no one stood up.
The Sage of Law leaned forward and said, "Forty-four Palace Masters and Pavilion Masters, is there anyone willing to compete for the throne?"
This statement is a bit like a provocation.
Feng Ji stood up...
When she stood up, Lin Su and Ming Tianyan's hearts skipped a beat...
Feng Ji said politely: "I am not afraid of the cleansing of the heart by the holy way, but I am only good at music, not other ways, and I have no management experience and talent. I am definitely not qualified for the position of the hall master, so I will withdraw calmly."
Take a step back and announce your exit.
The other palace masters spoke one after another and left.
Luo Wuxin was the last in line, and finally, he spoke up and also withdrew.
As for the reason, it was different from Feng Ji's. What he emphasized was: being young and ignorant was not enough to convince others.
All of the forty-four heads of various palaces withdrew in an instant.
The Dharma Master raised his eyes, glanced at the Military Saint, and then said, "Since the masters of each palace are unwilling to take the throne, then everyone above the Quasi-Saint level has the qualification to participate. Who is willing to take the position of Palace Master in times of crisis?"
The conditions have been completely relaxed at this point.
As long as you are above the quasi-saint level, it’s all right.
On the mountain of books, Ming Tianyan's heart suddenly jumped: "Now you and I are qualified!"
"Yes!"
"I think what Fazun said just now seems to have a hidden meaning. He seems to really want you to participate!"
"Did you see that?" Lin Su said.
"When he gave you a mission in a time of crisis, I felt it was tailor-made for you." Ming Tianyan said, "Because he knows your weaknesses. The status and honor of the Palace Master are not in your heart, but you are unlikely to refuse a mission in a time of crisis."
"Unfortunately, he miscalculated. No matter how he plays his chess moves, I can never get on his ship, because..."
"Because you can't stand the cleansing of the Holy Word."
Lin Su nodded gently: "Yes, if he asked me in public whether I had an affair with you, the mess between you and me would jump out of the bed and go straight to the sky. So, for the sake of your reputation, I must not run for the Palace Master..."
Ming Tianyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Please don't consider my reputation. Since I've been tied to you, it doesn't matter whether we have that or not. Do you think the people in the temple really care whether we are in the same boat or the same bed?"
The two of them were playing around and time passed quickly.
But the suffocating feeling in the field made time seem to stop flowing...
Every second seems so long.
The Sage looked around but didn't see anyone standing up. Finally, he spoke: "If no one is willing to serve as the Hall Master, then we can only cancel the Hall Master position and let the Elders govern the various palaces in the Temple for a period of one incense stick..."
He raised his hand, and a pillar of holy incense ignited in the air...
The chess master's eyes suddenly opened.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he met the eyes of the Saint of War.
Both of them saw something strange in each other's eyes.
This is the other party's response strategy.
Originally, they pushed forward Cao Xiangdao, but were defeated by the decisive strategy of the Military Saint Shengdao to cleanse his heart.
This strategy was so decisive and so terrible that it caused a serious sequelae, that is, no one dared to launch an attack on the palace master.
The heads of the forty-four palaces withdrew collectively, and the conditions were extended to include anyone who was a quasi-saint, but still no one came out.
Then, abolishing the position of temple master and letting the elders govern the various palaces in the temple becomes the only option.
The Temple Elders, these elders are all Confucianists, or people close to Confucianism.
What is the difference between their jurisdiction over the temple and Cao Xiangdao’s jurisdiction over the temple?
Therefore, don’t ever think that they have won by getting rid of Cao Xiangdao.
The opponent has a lot of cards.
The other party is also intelligent.
If you destroy my card, I will play another one, and the final result will still be what I want.
How to break the game?
The voice of the Chess Saint entered the ears of the Military Saint: "Mr. Bing, is it time for that kid to come on stage now?"
He was talking about Lin Su.
If no one takes office as the master of the temple, the position of master will be abolished and the elders will take over, which is definitely not good for them.
The only one who can change this deadlock is probably Lin Su.
Let Lin Su come over and fight for the position of palace master.
The voice of the Military Saint came back: "No! That kid has said before that he has other important matters to attend to and cannot be the Palace Master. More importantly, this Saint has vaguely seen the other party's plot. They may be hoping that the kid will stand out. The way of the military is to fight the enemy. What the other party wants to see must not happen!"
The Chess Saint said, "This Saint has also vaguely seen this sign. However, the current situation is extremely complicated. If nothing changes at this moment and the Elders take control of the Temple, they will control the real situation, and all our previous efforts will be in vain."
The Sage of Soldiers said, "That guy is also watching. When the time comes, he will show up. You should trust him. He is as good at controlling the situation as you and me..."
"Bingzun, you...how blindly do you trust him? You completely overlooked the fact that he is only in his twenties, and his experience and wisdom cannot be perfect."
For a moment, everyone on the side of the Military Saint became anxious.
Because the situation has reached this point, basically all the cards have been played.
On the mountain of books, Ming Tianyan was also anxious: "The Temple Elders, you and I both know what they are. If they are in charge of the Temple, the structure of the Temple will be the same as before. Is there any other way? If not, I will do it!"
She plans to stand up!
She is also eligible!
However, Lin Su stretched out his hand and grabbed her: "Wait a minute!"
Ming Tianyan said: "The incense is almost burnt out..."
"Yes, the incense is almost burned out. In such a huge temple, there is not a single person who can calmly face the holy way and cleanse his heart? That's really sad." Lin Su sighed.
"The lower level of the holy way is often pure, while the higher level of the holy way is complicated. When the way reaches its end, it is used for one's own benefit. Among all the ways in the world, if one uses the one that is beneficial, how can it be pure?" Ming Tianyan said, "How about I do it?"
Lin Su shook his head gently: "You are not suitable, let me do it! God is my witness, I really don't want to take this step..."
His voice suddenly stopped.
A voice suddenly came from the side of the Holy Way Altar: "How about I give it a try?"
As soon as his voice fell, everyone's attention suddenly focused.
This is a seemingly ordinary old man with half black and half white hair, and he is gentle and elegant.
Most people don't know him.
However, the Palace Master of Yuewen Palace frowned...
"Zhang Weikong, the super judge of Yuewen Palace?"
The Super Judge of the Yuewen Palace has almost no contact with the outside world, so few people know him. Among the people present, only a limited number of people know him. This person is the Super Judge of the Yuewen Palace. What he spreads to the world is his fairness. Whenever a poem is written, he will review its grade and evaluate it impartially and objectively, without any human feelings.
Such a role is actually not that great in the temple.
However, today, facing the competition for the Palace Master position and a situation that no one dared to take, he stood up.
I'll try?!
The last bit of incense ash fell, and Zhang Weikong appeared under the altar.
At the last moment when the holy incense was burning out, someone finally showed up.
On the mountain of books, beside the West Lake, a smile slowly appeared on Lin Su's face: "Zhang Weikong, wonderful!"
Ming Tianyan's eyes widened: "You know him well?"
"I don't know much about him, but if the Zhang family's style really originated from him, this old man is worth looking forward to."
"Zhang family spirit? He... He is the father of Zhang Juzheng of the Great Cang Kingdom, right?"
"Exactly!"
"You have a connection with his great-granddaughter, so you really want him to become the master of the temple?"
Lin Su turned his gaze towards Ming Tianyan and looked at her with a very strange look: "Girl, I noticed that you are paying special attention to my private life now. Do you really regard yourself as my wife?"
"Girl, have you ever seen an 800-year-old girl?" Ming Tianyan glanced at him and said, "Stop flirting with me. I have to pour some cold water on you. The three death trap questions set by Bing Zun are definitely not passable by your old father-in-law, who is three generations away from you."
……
On the altar, all the saints looked at each other.
The Dharma Saint said, "Tell me your name."
"The Yuewen Palace's super judge, the quasi-saint Zhang Weikong."
"You want to compete for the position of Palace Master?"
Zhang Weikong said: "The Dharma Master has just said that he would give orders in times of crisis! I am just like what the Dharma Master said, I will ask for orders in times of crisis!"
"The selection of the Palace Master is fair to all. If you want to be the Palace Master, you must also cleanse your heart with the Holy Way!"
Zhang Weikong smiled and said, "Please ask the Dharma Master to descend to the cleansing heart temple!"
The Dharma Master flicked his finger, and a magic guillotine was placed above Zhang Weikong's head, and the holy aura enveloped Zhang Weikong.
Zhang Weikong's eyes were dull.
The Confucian Sage slightly opened his eyes and stared at the Military Sage.
This seems to be a tacit understanding...
For those of the Confucian school, the Military Sage practices the holy way to cleanse their hearts.
As for the military faction, the Dharma Saint will perform the holy way to cleanse their hearts.
Other saints monitor everything and avoid all tricks...
