"Boom, boom, boom..."
The bell of the Eastern Emperor rang six times in a row before it stopped.
As the six sounds subsided, not only did the two sect leaders, who were on the verge of fighting, lose their will to attack, but also, apart from Lin Fei who was still confused and had no idea what had happened, the other disciples of Xingzhi Temple were extremely restless and tense.
"The Eastern Emperor Bell rang six times in a row!"
"This bell can only be rung by summoning the chief monks of all the temples!"
"What major event has occurred that caused six bells to ring in succession?"
……
"Shut up, all of you!" Yuanzhen shouted, stopping the disciples' commotion. "Go back now! No one is allowed to leave Zhiguan without my order! I and my fellow disciples will handle even the most important matters; it's none of your business!"
As he spoke, Yuanzhen glanced at Yuanyi: "The Eastern Emperor Bell has rung, summoning the heads of all the temples. Today is not the time for us to make a move. What do you think, Junior Brother Yuanyi?"
Yuan Yi nodded: "Senior brother is right. It is best to go to Lingxiao Palace as soon as possible. Junior brother is a free spirit, so Mingxin will be temporarily under your care. When senior brother returns, he can be handed over to Xingzhi Temple for punishment."
"No!" Yuanzhen refused decisively, then added, "It's not that I don't trust you, but although you're not the head of the Eighteen Temples, you are still a great master of the Dharma Aspect Realm. Since the sect has something to do, it would be best if you went along too!"
His face clearly showed that he didn't trust Yuan Yi and was afraid that he would let Lin Fei go without permission.
Yuanzhen was always the head of Xingzhi Temple, and he was responsible for all the major and minor precepts of the sect. Since he had already made a concession, Yuanyi couldn't refuse him further, so he could only nod and say, "In that case, let's go together!"
……
Lingxiao Palace, also known as Lingxiao Temple, is the top three Taoist temples among the eighteen temples of the Jade Emperor.
Lingxiao Temple has always been the place where the Jade Emperor Sect handles important sect affairs and receives distinguished guests from outside.
Yuanzhen and Yuanyi led Lin Fei all the way to Lingxiao Temple. Suddenly, a voice rang in Lin Fei's mind: "Mingxin, were those two people really killed by you?"
Lin Fei was slightly taken aback, and quickly turned to look at Yuan Yi who was walking in front.
"Don't look at me, and don't speak. Just silently repeat it in your heart, and I will know it." Yuan Yi's voice rang out again.
Lin Fei knew this was Yuan Yi's great supernatural power, so he silently recited in his heart: "Uncle Yuan Yi, those two were the ones who first tried to harm me and take my life. I had no choice but to fight them. I have people who can testify to this!"
"That's good. Now I can help you deal with things. Just don't say anything and listen to my instructions."
As they spoke, the three of them arrived outside the main hall of Lingxiao Temple. The Eastern Emperor Bell rang six times in a row, indicating that something terrible had happened. Therefore, the abbots of various temples did not dare to delay and all rushed to Lingxiao Temple.
Lin Fei stood cautiously behind Yuan Yi, not daring to even breathe loudly in front of these sect leaders.
At Lingxiao Temple, a Taoist priest with white hair and beard stood. Beside him stood an old monk in a yellow kasaya, and behind the old monk was a young monk who looked honest and simple.
The abbots of all the temples bowed to the old Taoist priest and said, "Greetings, Uncle-Master Yongxuan!"
This old Taoist priest was none other than a senior disciple of the Yong generation, a figure of the same generation as the sect leader, Master Yongcheng.
Yongxuan nodded and said to the old monk beside him, "Master Xuanye, the abbots of the Eighteen Temples of the Jade Emperor have all arrived. Please come in!"
The old monk Xuanye nodded and said to the young monk behind him, "Xuxin, take a look at these people and see if they are among them?"
The young monk in the gray robe seemed somewhat frightened and answered softly, "Yes, Grandmaster!"
The young monk timidly poked his head out, looked carefully, then shrank back behind the old monk and whispered, "Grandmaster, there is no such person."
"Master Xuanye, are you satisfied now?" Yongxuan said with a half-smile and a hint of sarcasm, "Master has come from afar, why don't you rest at my humble abode for the night, and let this old Taoist priest do his best to be a good host, and then you can continue your journey tomorrow!"
"No!" the old monk Xuanye blurted out. "Daoist Yongxuan, please invite all the Daoists of your sect who are at least at the Dharma Aspect Realm to Lingxiao Palace. If that person is not present, this old monk will apologize to your sect!"
Before he finished speaking, the abbots of the various temples below all showed displeasure.
Yongxuan frowned and said with displeasure, "Master Xuanye, I respect your Leiyin Huasheng Temple as the leader of Buddhism in the Southern Tang Dynasty, one of the three major Buddhist sects in the world, and one of the three major sects in the world, along with my Jade Emperor Sect. As the leader of the sects in the Southern Tang Dynasty, I have summoned the abbots of the eighteen temples to let you identify them. Please don't go too far!"
This old monk was actually a master from Leiyin Huasheng Temple, one of the three major Buddhist sects!
I wonder what brings this old monk to the Jade Emperor Sect so late at night.
"Uncle-Master, is this old monk very powerful? How dare he be so rude to my Jade Emperor Sect?" Lin Fei thought to himself, believing that Yuan Yi could hear him.
Sure enough, Yuan Yi, without turning his head, transmitted his voice: "Hehe, this Xuan Ye is the head of the Prajna Hall of Leiyin Huasheng Temple, ranked twenty-seventh on the Dragon and Tiger List. His 'Thousand Hands Tathagata Palm' is incredibly powerful. However, my Jade Emperor Sect will not be afraid of him. Let's see what he wants!"
"Amitabha, it was my fault for being impolite!" The old monk seemed to realize that he had been somewhat rude, and bowed solemnly to Yongxuan: "However, the 'Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill' is one of the five great divine skills of our temple. I would be grateful if the Daoist Master could be lenient with me, so that I may have an explanation when I return."
Yongxuan frowned and said, "How can you be so sure, Master, that your temple's Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill has fallen into our sect's hands?"
“Amitabha! Although this humble monk did not see it with his own eyes, the Seven Stars Taoist robe of your temple is undeniably genuine.” He asked the young monk behind him, “Xuxin, was the person you saw that day wearing the same Seven Stars Taoist robe as these Taoist priests?”
Although the young monk was somewhat frightened, he still mustered his courage and said, "Grandmaster Uncle, the Seven Star Daoist Robe of the Jade Emperor Sect is famous throughout the world. Its robes are inlaid with overseas silver dust threads, and there is no other like it in the world. Although I am ignorant, I would never mistake it."
"Excellent, excellent!" Xuan Ye clasped his hands together and said to Daoist Yongxuan again, "Daoist Yongxuan, you have heard it too. For the sake of harmony between our two sects, please do us a favor. Otherwise, if the abbot of our temple comes, it will inevitably hurt the friendship between our two sects."
"Alright!" Yongxuan nodded with a stern face: "However, if you fail to find the person, please give my Jade Emperor Sect an explanation!"
"Amitabha, of course!" Xuan Ye flipped his hand and took out a golden alms bowl: "This 'Demon-Subduing Golden Alms Bowl' is not a rare treasure, but consider it my apology to the Daoist!"
