Chapter 620 Temple Hunting Order

Looking at the faint smile on Chen Pingping's face, Fan Xian couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

It's wrong to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, and it's wrong to kill someone with a borrowed knife...

In short, this method of using others' strength to achieve one's own goals really amazed Fan Xian.

It is foreseeable that one day in the future, the eldest princess will definitely release this news to prevent Fan Xian from taking over the inner treasury from her.

As everyone knows, this is actually promoted secretly by Chen Pingping behind the scenes.

"Absolutely amazing!" Fan Xian exclaimed in admiration, "Your hand is really light and there is no trace!"

"But..." Fan Xian said hesitantly, "Will Zhu Ge have any suspicion?"

Chen Pingping smiled and said, "Don't worry, he won't be suspicious."

"Zhu Ge is a smart man, but smart people have a problem, that is, they like to think wildly. I never mentioned your relationship with the Ye family. I only put the information about the Ye family's trading company on the table together with your information."

"Zuge is an old man from the Overwatch Council. He knows the relationship between me and your mother back then. Seeing my kind attitude towards you, he will naturally connect the two things."

"Of course, in order to prevent him from being too stupid, I tested Zhu Ge."

"Sure enough, he asked about your identity unintentionally after reporting on work."

"I beat him a lot, but I was also sure in my heart that he already knows that you are Ye Qingmei's son..."

Chen Pingping said it in an understatement, but Fan Xian could imagine the fierce confrontation between him and Zhu Ge.

Overt and covert attacks, intrigues, these are the skills that the director of the Overwatch Council must master.

Fan Xian sighed in his heart, thinking that he would never be able to do it as easily as Chen Pingping.

Chen Pingping walked over with a smile: "Have you received the news about Honglu Temple?"

Fan Xian didn't react for a while, and subconsciously said: "What news?"

Chen Pingping sat on the wheelchair again, straightened her sleeves, looked up at Fan Xian and chuckled: "You were assassinated on Niulan Street. The emperor used this reason to go to war with Northern Qi. Now Qing has won consecutive battles, and Northern Qi is celebrating." Defeat."

"But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. With Qing's current national strength and population, it can't swallow the behemoth of Northern Qi. Therefore, we on Qing's side plan to stop as soon as possible."

"The same is true for Northern Qi. They have sent a mission to prepare for peace talks with our country."

Fan Xian smiled and said, "I know that. You don't mean to say that the emperor plans to appoint me as the deputy reception envoy, right?"

"Return?" Chen Pingping raised her eyebrows, "Is the future you saw in heaven the same?"

Fen In exchange for returning to Northern Qi, Sean and Si Lili persuaded the literary master Zhuang Mohan who came with the delegation to join forces with her to frame me for copying poems. "

Chen Pingping said in surprise: "Is this happening?"

Fan Xian nodded solemnly and said, "Well, also, Sean is actually Zhuang Mohan's biological brother."

Chen Pingping was slightly stunned: "Sean is Zhuang Mohan's biological brother... I asked him why he would risk his reputation for the rest of his life and join forces with the eldest princess."

At this point, Chen Pingping paused, suddenly raised the corners of her mouth, smiled and sighed: "Even I don't know this kind of secret, but you can tell it casually... Heaven, how awesome it is!"

Saying that, Chen Pingping shook her head again and said: "You should have told me earlier if there was such news. If the eldest princess really had such a plan, she would not be able to use the information of the descendants of the Ye family to attack you during that time. She would only Hide it as a trump card.”

Hearing Chen Pingping's words, Fan Xian felt a little innocent and helpless.

He didn't know that Chen Pingping would want to use the power of the eldest princess to release the news!

Chen Pingping smiled and said: "Fortunately, I was worried that you would be impatient to wait, so I made two preparations."

Fan Xian said happily: "Uncle Chen knows things like a god and knows all the plans. My nephew admires him!"

Chen Pingping enjoyed Fan Xian's compliment very much. She smiled and waved her hand and said, "Okay, stop talking so much. If you have nothing to do, go back quickly. People from Honglu Temple should be going to your house to invite people soon."

Fan Xian smiled and cupped his hands, then took out a book from his arms and handed it to Chen Pingping.

Chen Pingping raised her eyebrows, reached out to take it, and looked up.

"'Journey to the West'?"

"Yes." Fan Xian said with a smile, "I plan to publish this book in a few days, but if I want to promote it, just one bookstore will definitely not be enough."

Chen Pingping looked through "Journey to the West" curiously and said with a smile: "Tell me how you want me to help you."

Fan Xian smiled slightly and slowly said three words: "Storyteller!"

…

…

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past half month, apart from taking over the position of receiving the deputy envoy and going to Honglu Temple a few times, Fan Xian spent most of his time working between the bookstore and the Overwatch Council.

Strange novels such as "Shu Yi Ji" and "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" have become popular throughout the city in just half a month.

The abridged version of "Journey to the West", which Fan Xian regards as his trump card, has also been successfully released, and with the cooperation of the Eighth Office of the Overwatch Council and storytellers, it has spread rapidly to the entire Qing Kingdom outside Kyoto at an extremely alarming speed.

All the people of the Qing Kingdom, whether they are dignitaries or common people, enjoy talking about the stories in this book.

Some people with little knowledge even quietly set up memorial tablets at home and began to worship the gods, Buddhas and bodhisattvas in those stories.

Faced with this scene that swept the whole city, Fan Sizhe was naturally overjoyed.

Because the bookstore he co-founded with his brother made a lot of money.

Fan Xian was also very happy because he saw that many people and even dignitaries had accepted the background of Chinese mythology.

Of course, due to the existence of the temple, the court still had some concerns about these new beliefs.

But Emperor Qing didn't care in his heart, he was even a little happy to see it happen.

After all, the temple is real, and these so-called gods and Buddhas are fake.

Emperor Qing is naturally willing to weaken the influence of the temple on the world through public opinion.

However, at this time, Emperor Qing has already contacted the temple, so on the surface, he still has to ban the obscene temple and respect the temple alone, but he can turn a blind eye when doing things below.

Of course, the reason why Emperor Qing dared to do this is actually thanks to Yamu.

Since leaving Kyoto, Yamu has been heading north, visiting many so-called Jianghu masters during this period.

But because he was too low-key, he only wanted to see if there was anything worth learning from the other party's martial arts when he came to compete with him. In addition, the warriors who were easily defeated by him suspected that the other party was teasing them and did not want to make him famous, so he did not become famous.

Until not long ago, Yamu met a temple messenger on the road, who was the gray-robed master who died at the hands of Wu Zhu in the original book.

Speaking of this, we have to explain the connection between the temple and humans.

In this world, there are three main channels for the temple to communicate with humans.

The first is a temple messenger like Wu Zhu, that is, an intelligent bionic robot controlled by the temple.

The second is the so-called Tianmai people, that is, special humans who obey the arrangements of the temple.

Tianmai people include old humans who have been revived from freezing, and new humans who cooperate with the temple.

But these humans are usually difficult to manage. Once they come to the human world, they will change the world according to their own wishes. The most typical example is Ye Qingmei who changed the world back then. So basically, all Tianmai people eventually became the targets of the temple to be wiped out.

As for the third type, it is the ascetic monks who believe in the temple.

They are fanatics of the temple, but they usually cannot have direct contact with the temple. They are taught martial arts by temple messengers like Wuzhu and complete the tasks assigned by the temple. They are low-level cannon fodder who do dirty and tiring work.

Although the combat effectiveness of the ascetics is relatively average, they are superior in number, and they have the bonus of faith and are not afraid of life and death.

The temple messenger that Yamu met in Northern Qi is an intelligent bionic robot like Wuzhu.

But unlike Wuzhu, his consciousness is obviously not high enough. Not only did he get lost along the way, but his contact with the temple was also intermittent.

When Yamu saw him, he seemed to have sensed a high-energy reaction in Yamu, and he actually attacked Yamu in the street in full view of everyone.

As a matter of course, Yamu smashed his body with a backhand palm, and the subsequent palm wind even crashed forward with the remaining force, blasting the two huge stone lions in front of a mansion into powder.

Seeing this scene, the pedestrians on the street were naturally horrified.

Yamu walked to the twitching wreckage in surprise, squatted down, and let the smart housekeeper hack into his system.

Then Yamu found speechlessly that this guy's body was insufficiently powered, the CPU utilization rate was less than 1%, and many subsystems including the positioning system were turned off in energy-saving mode.

This caused the temple messenger to have a bad brain.

He only remembered that he had to go south to Qing State to hunt down the descendants of Wuzhu and Ye Qingmei, and he didn't know anything else.

He attacked Yamu just now because he judged that Yamu was an extraordinary person and wanted to capture him and ask about Wuzhu's whereabouts.

... What's the connection!

Yamu shook his head helplessly, blasted the unlucky guy into powder with a palm, and then continued to move north.

Yamu himself naturally didn't care about this matter.

But those pedestrians who were watching regarded him as the hidden grandmaster of Northern Qi State.

In this way, the identity of Yamu's mysterious grandmaster was inexplicably known to the world...

As mentioned earlier, the martial arts of the ascetics were all taught by the temple messenger.

Yamu killed the temple messenger in the street and did not hide his route, which naturally attracted the attention of the temple and the ascetics.

After analysis, the temple believed that Yamu's target was likely the temple in the North Pole, so it decisively issued a hunting order.

So, the ascetics in Beiqi and Nanqing went to Beiqi to stop the mysterious grandmaster.

Some of the ascetics in the Qing Temple were also transferred away, which made Emperor Qing dare to attack the faith of the temple.

Anyway, with the mysterious grandmaster, even if he did something a little more excessive, he would never become the first target of the temple!

Wasn't there an earthquake in Gansu? So I donated some money on behalf of my book friends yesterday, just to show my appreciation. I was quite proud of it at first, but then I suddenly realized that I seemed to have been cheated. The material list said that a military coat was 150 yuan each, and a quilt was also 150 yuan each. Whose military coat did I buy with this budget? Is it made of gold? It only costs 50 yuan on Taobao, and better quality ones are no more than 70 or 80 yuan. I said I made half of it with tears. I am really impressed.
