Chapter 1064: Clearing the Capitals, Appointing the Palace Master
The Confucian Sage and the Wise Sage looked at each other and rose into the sky at the same time.
All of a sudden, all the saints in the three heavens appeared...
The only exception is the poet.
The Poet Saint has a huge belly. God is my witness, he has never been as depressed as he is today since he became a saint. Today is the first time that someone dared to act wildly in the Poetry Capital and the first time that someone dared to rebel against him.
Lin Su, you son of a bitch, so many saints are against you, but you choose to go after me, what's the matter? I think you look like a soft persimmon?
What's even more outrageous is that Lin Su actually resolved his suppression with his literary skills.
What does this mean?
This shows that this quasi-saint of the Heavenly Dao can really compete with a saint.
His heart, which had not been beating violently for a thousand years, beat slightly and paid attention to the scene around him. All the saints appeared together. If the poet was a thousand years younger, he would probably have the impulse to C his eight generations of ancestors at this moment.
Is Lin Su's disrespect to a saint like me just a good show?
If all of you jump out and watch the show in person, do you still want to maintain the power of a saint like me?
But no matter what, he has to show his holiness...
The poet started from his study, took one step out of the study, and the next step was to the top of the city of poetry.
Looking down, this saint almost got internal injuries...
The poet saint and the holy leader of the holy family lay at Lin Su's feet.
The dignified Grand Commander of Shidu was lying at his feet.
The only person who can make Dadusi lie at your feet is yourself!
Just from this one move, it was clear that Lin Su was going to compete with him face to face...
"Student Lin Su pays respect to all the saints!" Lin Su bowed slightly and performed a scholar's salute: "Student did not dare to go to the third heaven lightly, but today I have done something that violated the bottom line of the saintly way, and I must go to the third heaven once. The sin of arrogance, I will bear it!"
The Sage of Soldiers' eyes narrowed. "Something that violates the bottom line of the Holy Way? What is it? Just tell me!"
"Yes!" Lin Su said, "The land of Zangzhou is the frontier of the struggle between humans and demons, and it is also the throat of the fight against the heartless catastrophe. Once it falls into the hands of the demons, it will be a disaster for the seven countries and thirteen states, and the same is true for the Holy Temple! Therefore, students are particularly concerned about the situation in Zangzhou. Three days ago, Zhuge Qingfeng, the Saint of Poetry, followed the order of the Saint of Poetry, united twelve alien races, and joined forces with thirty-four forces controlled by the demons to manipulate the fourth prince of Zangzhou, Dongfang Ge, to kill the king and seize the throne. Their agreement on the division of spoils is very clear. After the success of seizing the throne, half of the three thousand miles of land in Zangzhou will be divided up by the demons and aliens. The culture will be controlled by the Saint of Poetry. Guancheng will be surrounded by demons and aliens, and the entire Zangzhou will become a demon domain!"
The Sage of Soldiers was shocked: "You actually colluded with the devil!"
The chess master said: "The chess world is all about location and power. The land of Zangzhou is a strategic location. If it falls, Wuxin will be defeated before he can resist. Anyone who dares to cause chaos in Zangzhou will be the public enemy of the human race!"
When the two saints spoke, the minds of the three people under Lin Su all went blank.
They finally realized how serious the trouble they had caused.
The Yin-Yang Saint cast his eyes towards the three people at Lin Su's feet: "If it was only the Poet Saint's family that was causing the chaos, then Lin Quasi-Saint would not have rushed into the Three Heavens in anger. Is there someone else behind the Poet Saint's family?"
"Yin Yang Venerable Witness, I used the Holy Way to cleanse my heart to interrogate Zhuge Qingfeng and the Poet Saint Li Yiran. They confessed that the one who ordered them to disrupt the structure of Zangzhou and act as a traitor to the demons was Li Zhongliang, the Grand Commander of Poetry City!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire three realms fell silent.
Today's move is like a bolt from the blue.
What happened today was all played out in front of the eyes of millions of people in the Three Heavens. There was no isolation from the Holy Path, which in itself was a signal, telling everyone that what happened today was a head-on confrontation between the two major camps. No matter how great a Saint you are, don’t even think of concealing it, because if you try to hide it, the Saint opposite you will naturally take action to break it, and you won’t be able to hide it even if you want to!
It was not until this moment that the Poet Saint truly realized the real purpose of Lin Su's angry rush into Poetry City today. He slowly raised his eyes and said, "Lin Zhunsheng, are you coming to Poetry City today to question me?"
Lin Su said: "With the saintly way in mind and the world in mind, even if the saint is in person, I still have reasonable doubts! May I ask the poet, what do you want to do?"
May I ask the poet, what do you want to do?
I'm afraid no one has ever said this.
Because this is a question to the saint.
Also because he did not call him "Poet Master", he called him "Poet Sage".
People in the world, including all the saints currently in power, will also call other saints "Zun" instead of directly calling them "Saint", because the former implies respect, while the latter erases this respect.
Faced with Lin Su's words that clearly lacked respect, the poet's anger that had been suppressed for thousands of years was quietly aroused.
However, the Military Saint said, "Keep the Holy Path in mind and raise reasonable doubts! Well said! This Saint would also like to ask, Poet Saint, what... do you... want to... do?"
The first half of the sentence was spoken in a flat tone.
The tone of the next sentence, word by word, suddenly became heavier.
This intensification was like a military flag suddenly unfurling, and a strong murderous intent was overwhelming.
When he spoke, he directly replaced Lin Su and took over the anger that the poet was about to arouse.
The Sage of Poetry looked at the Sage of War who was already furious, and his white hair rose slightly: "The nature of the Sage of War is to be ruthless. Even if someone in the military field made a mistake, even if someone in poetry made a mistake, just deal with it according to the rules. It doesn't seem to be enough to question this Sage."
"What the poet said is very true!" The Law Saint said, "The Holy Temple is so big and has so many affairs. As a saint, how can I be so careful about every detail? If a family below makes a mistake or a subordinate makes a mistake, they can be punished according to the law. How can they trespass into the Holy Peak? If everyone does this, where is the law?"
The Painting Saint continued, "What the Poetry Saint and the Law Saint said is very true. This Saint thinks that the three people brought by Lin Su can be handed over to the Law Palace for detailed investigation. If they are guilty, they will be convicted, and if they are innocent, they will be released. They should definitely not go straight to the Holy Peak."
Lin Su stepped forward and said, "I dare not disagree with what the painting saint said. Today, all the saints are here, so we can question Li Zhongliang in public. Why do we need to hand him over to the court?"
The Agricultural Saint moved the hoe in his hand slightly and took a step forward: "I think what Lin Zhunsheng said is very true. The crux of this matter lies in whether Li Zhongliang has someone assigned by the Poetry Master. The situation is serious. It is not appropriate to hand it over to the court for trial and execution. At this moment, all the saints gather together to judge in public. The innocent will be innocent, and the guilty will be guilty."
The Agricultural Saint usually doesn't talk much, but it must be said that he behaves like a farmer, simple and unpretentious, but what he says is always to the point.
The core point of the current trial lies in whether there is a higher-level person behind Shidu Li Zhongliang.
This case is already a big deal. If you hand it over to the court for trial, how do you want them to handle it?
Do they have the authority to judge saints?
Therefore, it is not appropriate to hand it over to the Palace of Justice!
Now that all the saints have gathered together, it is actually the highest-level judgment seat, and the trial is taking place here!
This statement is reasonable, well-founded and coherent, and the saints cannot refute it.
All of a sudden, all the saints, including the Confucian saints, were shocked...
It is almost certain that Li Zhongliang must have consulted the great poet.
The poet would certainly agree.
Otherwise, would the Grand Commander of Shidu dare to do such a big thing?
And everyone knows the reason very well. This is to play against the military strategists. If the military strategists want to infiltrate Zangzhou with Muye Villa, there must be a restriction. The best restriction is to firmly grasp the imperial power of Zangzhou in their hands.
This is why the poet took action.
This is also the tacit understanding reached between the sage of Confucianism and the sage of poetry.
This is essentially a dispute between Taoism and is not really a collaboration with the devil.
However, the situation has changed now. It is not that you can say that it has nothing to do with the demons. In fact, according to Lin Su's logic, it has indeed disrupted the great cause of the united front of the human race and has indeed provided some convenience for the demons...
Even if you didn't have this plan at the beginning, and the final result was consistent with Lin Su's judgment, then this lump of yellow mud must be shit!
How to judge in this case?
How can we judge?
The first trial will definitely bring out a poet saint, and the poet saint will also bring out a Confucian saint...
A slight cough broke the suffocation of the whole audience...
A saint next to the Confucian saint slowly raised his head, his eyelids blinked lightly, and the feeling of suffocation seemed to disappear completely.
This is the Taoist Saint.
One of the oldest saints.
Normally, he doesn't speak much, but his words are always powerful and even Confucian sages dare not disobey him.
The Taoist Saint spoke up: "Confucian Master, now you can see clearly that setting up the post of Dusi in each city will lead to disaster."
When these words came out, all the saints were shocked...
The so-called listening to words and looking at problems at details, from their perspective, every word and action is meaningful.
As soon as the Taoist Saint, who is the most important saint besides the Confucian Saint, opened his mouth, his position was very clear.
He turned the topic to the position of "Dusi", what does it mean?
Meaning: The reason why the poet got into trouble was because of the capital of poetry. This is to find a way for the poet to save himself...
The Confucian Sage sighed softly: "What Daozun said is very true. It is possible that people in the capital of poetry misjudged the emperor's intentions."
This position is even clearer.
At present, Lin Su holds three cards in his hand. With all the saints in front of him, no one can destroy him, and no one can stop these people from speaking. But the words of the Confucian Sage have laid a way out. Even if Li Zhongliang's confession is not favorable to the Poet Sage, it is also a "misjudgment of the intention", and the Poet Sage can still be cleared.
It has to be said that the Confucian sage is the master of the game. He seems to be responding to the Taoist sage, but in fact he is laying the groundwork.
However, the Military Saint did not buy his tricks: "Is the Confucian Master paving the way for the Poet Saint in advance? Could it be that you already know that the Poet Saint will definitely not be able to pass this test if he helps the demons to bury the state?"
The Confucian sage suddenly raised his head and said, "Soldier, you must know that everything has its rules. You can't just do what you want!"
"Yes, everything has its own rules!" The Military Saint said coldly, "But I wonder if this foreign visitor would have had a different ending if he had followed your rules when Feng Ya was questioned that day?"
When these words were spoken, the hairs of all the saints in the room stood on end. Why did they suddenly mention elegance?
Fengya is Liu Ruyan, a traitor who infiltrated the saints' circle from a foreign land and has his feet curled up in iron nails.
The Sage of Poetry stood up and said, "Are you directly pointing out that I am a traitor among the human race?"
The military saint raised his hand slightly, and Weiyang pointed his pen directly at the poet saint: "Whether it is true or not, the answer will be clear soon!"
"What do you mean?" The poet stared at him coldly.
The Military Saint said, "Two meanings, listen to me clearly! First, since Fengya appeared in the Three Heavens, there must be a second one! Second, when the Japanese Saint faced Fengya, he dared to take the Sainthood first and then went to the Heavenly Dao Holy Altar to apologize. The same will be true when facing you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a military flag suddenly appeared behind him!
The Weiyang Pen in his hand is like a sword of heaven and earth!
And he, with his white hair dancing wildly, once again became an unrivaled super saint who had his black hair turned into white hair for 80,000 years and swept across the world without any rivals!
The poet was stunned...
All the saints were shocked...
In the third heaven, everyone watching was stunned...
Such a scene actually occurred among the saints. How many years has it been since it happened?
It did not appear thousands of years ago, but it appeared today.
The Military Saint had been suppressed time and again, and he always resorted to roundabout ways of warfare to survive, but today, he couldn't bear it anymore and had to show his cards directly.
He just wants to kill the poet!
Kill him first!
If you kill the wrong person, you should go to the holy altar of heaven and ask for forgiveness!
This is decisive!
This kind of determination makes all the saints tremble with fear. You can reason with people, but only if they have the patience to reason. What can you do when this person has no patience at all?
The Confucian sage frowned, completely at a loss for a moment.
The holy war is about to begin.
As this unfolded, he had no choice but to leave.
Then today's meeting will turn into a life-and-death battle.
What are the chances of winning?
Even if there is an 80% chance, isn't there still a 20% chance of failure?
If he fails, everything will be in vain. Even if he wins, the entire temple will fall apart. This is not what he wants...
You, the Soldier Saint, are a fucking lunatic.
Thousands of years of suppression have actually produced a madman...
At this moment, the Taoist Saint said, "Soldier, please be patient!"
The Soldier Saint's gaze turned towards him...
The Taoist Saint exhaled softly, "Lin Zhun Saint once said something that I agree with. The management of the Temple is smooth with the Temple Master and the various palaces. The various capitals built by the Saint are harmful to the management of the Temple. Today's incident just proves that the people of the various capitals leave the Three Heavens and regard it as the will of the Saint, but in fact it may not be the will of the Saint. This is misleading and is likely to cause a disaster that affects the Saint himself. Therefore, I propose to disband the various capitals! This ridiculous farce caused by the Three Heavens Capital will end here. How about it?"
All the saints are looking at the military saint...
Dao Sheng took a big step back. What about you? Are you still fighting to the death?
The military flag behind the Sage of Soldiers was a little illusory, and the murderous intent in his hand, the Weiyang Pen, gradually dissipated from the 100,000-mile mark. "What do you think, Sage Lin?"
Finally it was Lin Su's turn to speak. Lin Su bowed and said, "How dare I say anything in front of the saints? I agree with everything the saints say."
The Dao Saint nodded gently: "In this case, I will disband the Dao Capital first! Return power to the Holy Temple."
The Chess Saint said: "This Saint Chess City will also be disbanded from this moment on."
The Agricultural Saint said, "My agricultural family is not a power-seeking family. Since we established the Agricultural City, we have been burdened with power-seeking. This makes me seem to be obsessed with power. I have long intended to dissolve the Agricultural City. Today, I will follow the general trend and dissolve it. That's great!"
Yin and Yang Saint Dao: "Yin and Yang are dissolved at this moment..."
In a blink of an eye, the four saints disbanded their respective capitals.
Then, everyone's eyes focused on the face of the Confucian sage.
The Confucian sage looked calm as water, but inside, there were a hundred and twenty waves of turmoil rolling...
In terms of the power of each capital, Rudu is definitely the first, and this first place is definitely the sum of the other sixteen capitals...
How could the Confucian saint have such final say and control the holy temple for thousands of years?
It is based on the special status of Confucianism.
But today, do we really have to disband?
The four saints have been disbanded, no, five! Including Bingdu, Bingdu has no habit of reaching out to the outside world. In fact, he can't command anyone even if he reaches out, so his Bingdu itself is in name only...
Moreover, the old man from the farmer's family was so annoying. He said such a long speech: Farmers are not people who are greedy for power.
What does it mean?
The saints retained their own capitals because they were greedy for power!
The saint is indifferent to fame and fortune, which is a label engraved on his forehead. If I do not agree to dissolve Confucianism, will I become the opposite of a saint?
What's more, this is a suggestion made by the Taoist Saint.
The position of Dao Sheng has always been unclear.
If we don't adopt his opinion, we will force him to the opposite side.
What's more, the crazy Bingsheng hasn't even taken the Weiyang Pen away yet. I can't just watch the holy war break out and fight a decisive battle with no idea of the outcome...
Thousands of thoughts suddenly flowed through the Confucian sage's mind, and finally turned into one sentence: "Since the sages have this intention, I naturally agree with it."
His agreement shocked all the saints who had been following the Confucian sage.
Could it be that this matter can no longer be reversed?
The Palace of Law pondered for a long time before speaking: "Regarding the dissolution of each capital, this Saint has no objection, but there is one thing that must be made clear in advance. In fact, each capital is an extension of the Saint's will. After the dissolution of each capital, how will the Saint's will be manifested?"
This statement may sound euphemistic, but it is actually very sharp.
Could it be that, because of Lin Su's private intrusion into the Third Heaven, the authority of all saints was eventually revoked?
Please note that this authority is not revoked just for me, the Saint of Dharma, but for all of you present here!
Are you really willing?
As expected, when these words came out, all the saints looked at each other in silence.
Lin Su took a step forward and said, "It is actually very easy to manifest the will of the saints. Just issue a 'saintly order' to the hall master, and the hall master will obey the order. If there is a conflict between the orders issued by two or more saints, the decision will be made by a vote of the temple elders."
This law has two levels. The first level is that the authority of the saints is still supreme. When the saints issue orders, they are no longer given to their respective capitals, but to the temple masters, who must obey them. The second level is that if there is a direct conflict between the orders issued by two or more saints, the temple elders will vote to decide.
No matter what, the supreme authority of the saint has been retained and the current crisis has been resolved. It can be said that the greatest interests of both parties have been taken into account, so there will be no obstacles.
All the saints nodded in unison: "This method is very good!"
A consensus was reached.
The sacred decree was formed and passed to the three heavens and the holy temple.
Above the triple heaven, everyone was stunned.
Disbanding all the capitals, it was them who were disbanded. How powerful were they before? As soon as they stepped out of the Mianzun Bridge, they were all imperial envoys, no, holy envoys. With one word, a bunch of people rushed to do it, but now, they were all disbanded. The power of all the palaces in the temple was all returned to the temple master and the elders. Their status was not even as good as an ordinary elder in the temple elders...
Above Shidu, Lin Su raised his hands lightly, and three figures flew towards the depths of Shidu at the same time. This throw meant that he gave up the plan to make a big deal through these three people.
When the saints saw this scene, they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Regardless of which camp they are in, no one is willing to let things reach the point of no return at this moment.
The Confucian sage was unwilling to fight to the death with the military sage, whose hair was filled with murderous intent.
What about the saints on the side of the Saint of War?
Why would they be willing to do so? Because they were outnumbered, and most importantly, facing a powerful enemy, destroying their own camp was not in line with military thinking, right?
This was the key reason why Daosheng's compromise proposal was successfully passed.
At this moment, Lin Su waved his hand, announcing that the matter had been smoothly transitioned.
Just as the images of the saints were about to disappear, the Saint of Chess suddenly spoke up: "Everyone, is it time to discuss the selection of the master of the Holy Temple?"
The Confucian sage's Dharma body stopped from its semi-hidden state and asked: "The selection of the Palace Master? Is it necessary to discuss it?"
The Saint of Chess said: "I think it is very necessary!"
Saint Mo said, "The current structure of the Holy Temple has changed drastically. The Lord of the Temple controls the three Transcendent Pavilions and the twenty-four palaces, and exercises authority to govern the world. His power is unprecedented, so he must be a fair and just person. Otherwise, the harm caused will be immeasurable."
This was the first time Mo Sheng spoke today.
His words can be recorded in textbooks if they are published all over the world.
Because what he said made perfect sense. In the past, the Palace Master was just a mere decoration. Anyone could be that. Anyway, the palaces in the temple would not listen to him. But now it is different. Now the capitals are gone, and the imperial envoys from above are gone. The management authority of each palace and pavilion is concentrated in the hands of the Palace Master. Can such a Palace Master still be anyone else?
The Dharma Saint frowned and said, "The current Hall Master, Cao Xiangdao, is known for his fairness and justice. The reason why we chose him as the Hall Master was also recognized by the Saints."
The Soldier Saint said calmly, "Your Majesty, don't say that it was certified by the Saints. At least, this Saint has never certified it. This Saint had not yet returned to the Holy Temple at that time, so how could he be certified? After this Saint returned to the Third Heaven, I did ask about this person, but it seems that I did not find the four-character label of fairness and justice in this person."
As usual, when he spoke, everyone else frowned...
He had a very bad impression of this hall master, but who could do anything about it? He was a saint! He didn't need to be polite to a hall master.
The Sage of Law said, "Is Bing Zun's intention to capture this Palace Master?"
The Military Saint said, "What I mean is that we can make the evaluation public. As long as he is truly fair and just, what's wrong with letting him be the master of the temple?"
The Saint of Chess said: "I agree with the proposal of the Lord of Arms. We will conduct an open evaluation for all the saints to judge. As long as this hall master passes the test, no one else will question him. Only then can the hall master truly maintain the right path of the Saint Way, manage all the affairs of the Saint Temple, and be respected by all the sages and trusted by the world!"
The Taoist Saint cast his eyes on the Confucian Saint: "Confucian Saint, what the saints are asking for is the right path of the holy way. How about following it?"
The Confucian sage slowly withdrew his gaze from afar: "The way of the saints tests the talents, which is a good story throughout the ages. All the saints follow this, so why shouldn't I follow it? Issue another holy decree to make it clear to the whole palace!"
……
The second decree was issued.
The temple was in turmoil.
Two decrees were issued in one day, and both were "decrees from all the saints."
What is the common decree of the saints called? It is called the iron rule!
In other words, these two decrees have been iron rules since the day they were issued, and no one in the entire temple or the world dares to question them.
Above the White Pavilion, Luo Wuxin stood quietly in the highest attic, and beside him, as usual, was Jun Yue.
Jun Yue stared at the divine oracle flowing in the air, and his whole body seemed to have turned into a sculpture.
The light of the Holy Decree faded away, and the setting sun shone back on the Yi River. She slowly raised her eyes and said, "The Holy Decree of all Saints should theoretically be an undisputed iron rule of the Holy Temple, but why do I see something unusual in it?"
"What's unusual?" Luo Wuxin asked.
"The idea of abolishing all the capitals was first proposed by Lin Su. Young Master, you have also analyzed it. His original intention was to set aside the Three Heavens. This was in line with the wishes of him and the saints of his faction, but obviously not in line with the wishes of the other faction. So why did it become a consensus among the saints?"
