The more Xu Tuibei looked at the situation, the more he felt something was wrong. He asked the generals around him for some pills to cure internal injuries, and then called out two of his most trustworthy subordinates and said a few words in their ears.
The two old soldiers looked stern, and a fierce look flashed in their eyes, but then their expressions were as normal. After a while, they told the people around them that General Xu was too injured and could not move, so they needed to go to the tent to rest for a while.
At this time, Hua Huaixian was killed. Although the Youzhou army had killed tens of thousands of bandits, the Beihou Temple flag was waving and the demonic wind was gushing. It was really weird. Hua Xinzhai and others were already ringing gold and withdrawing their troops. The scene was really chaotic, and no one noticed Xu Tuibei's movements for the moment.
Hua Cangming was in charge of Youzhou at this time. This Youzhou army was usually commanded by Hua Huaixian and Xu Tuibei. Although Xu Tuibei actually had the power to command the army, his actual official position was just a military commander. At this time, the one who took over the command of this army was Hua Huaixian's cousin Hua Tuyu.
Hua Tuyu and Xu Tuibei are not as good as each other. They often hang out together on weekdays, especially after many battle formations, they are very convinced by Xu Tuibei's army. So after arranging the matter with Hua Huaixian, they also rushed to Xu Tuibei's tent as soon as possible, wanting to see Xu Tuibei's injuries and asking Xu Tuibei how to deal with it next.
When he arrived outside the camp, he saw only two soldiers guarding the door. Hua Tuyu didn't say much, so he opened the camp and walked inside, but just stepped into one leg. He was stunned and subconsciously shouted, "Where is General Xu?"
The tent was empty and there was not a single figure.
The two soldiers were stunned and said, "General Xu? We are just ordered to guard this camp here, and no one tells us anything else."
Hua Tuyu's entire forehead was buzzing. He didn't know what was wrong, but he only knew that what happened today had become very strange. He quickly shouted loudly, calling for someone to find Xu Tuibei.
But after a moment, all the generals who went to look for sent people to reply. Not only Xu Tuibei disappeared, but the more than ten subordinates who were closest to him disappeared. There were so many shortages of horses. They probably left directly, but they were not sure which direction they were heading.
After a while, Hua Xinzhai walked to Hua Tuyu's side with a stiff face, pulled Hua Tuyu into the tent ahead, and then lowered his voice: "There is someone under Xu Tuibei's hand that I asked me to give you something. Xu Tuibei said that someone might set up a plan today, whether it is Hua Huaixian's death, the demon formation of Beihou Temple, the dirty water may fall on him. He let us know that it is all right. Don't think about helping him overturn the verdict for a while, just follow the other's wishes. There is a very powerful figure behind this thief, don't lose your life. A real man can bend and stretch, so let's talk about it later."
Hua Tuyu's eyebrows were furrowed together. Hua Xinzhai said softly with some anxiety, "Can it be An..."
Hua Tuyu took a deep breath and said, "Listen to Xu Tuibei's meaning, we can only think that we don't know anything."
...
On the high altar of Zongsheng Palace, the owner of Baiyun Temple had already begun to recite the sacrifices and inform the three realms.
The Taoist who is in charge of knowing the chimes and bells strictly controls the sound of the chimes and bells. The field is solemn and sacred. However, at this moment, the sound of the chimes and bells with different rhythms suddenly sounded on the road outside the Zongsheng Palace. The sound was not loud, but it was extremely melodious. It was like the auxiliary music of the Taoist music in the Zongsheng Palace at this time, but at some moments it suddenly rose high, with a faint sense of victory.
The people blocking the road unconsciously made a move.
I saw dozens of monks wearing Taoist robes in various colors chanting scriptures while playing music while walking towards the Zongsheng Palace.
Gu Liubai, who was wearing a golden Taoist robe on the high platform, was not surprised at all. He had expected that someone would come to make trouble today, but he just didn't expect that it would appear so early and that it would appear in this kind of link.
There was no surprise on the emperor's face. Since he appeared in the Zongsheng Palace, he entered the temple directly. According to the rules of the universal ritual, he had not even said anything to Baiyun Temple Master, Gu Liubai and others.
At this time, looking at the Taoist sect cultivators coming to the Zongsheng Palace, he easily identified their identities. Then he did not say anything, but nodded to the tall companion who was always standing not far behind him.
The cavalry guarding the Taoist armor did not stop these monks wearing Taoist robes.
The people outside the Zongsheng Palace did not know their identities, but said that these people came according to the rules of the Tiantian Grand Ceremony, which was a necessary process.
The owner of Baiyun Temple was not moved, but calmly finished reciting the sacrifice and would hold the great ceremony of the world to make the three realms known.
According to the established rules, the next moment was the time when the emperor and Gu Liubai appeared. The saints in the world recited the manifesto and handed over the power to build an altar to pray for blessings to the new Taoist head Gu Liubai.
However, at this time, everyone had a tacit understanding, and the Daoyin had not stopped. The emperor and Gu Liubai were just waiting quietly for these people to take the stage.
These people seemed to be accurate in time. When the sacrificial text of the Lord Baiyun Temple was finished, they had already appeared in the audience, and then performed three rituals and nine rituals to worship the saints of the three realms and the saints of the world.
Everyone else stayed in the audience, and only one old Taoist in a purple Taoist robe walked up to the platform.
Lan She was standing behind the platform and frowned deeply.
She actually didn't want anyone to cause trouble for Gu Liubai at this time.
She wanted Gu Liubai to take the manifesto from the emperor. At this time, Gu Liubai became the recognized leader of the Tang Dynasty, so she attacked.
"Old Taoist Zi Yangzi, see the saint." The old Taoist's head was covered in silver silk, but the skin on his face was like a baby, and he looked like an immortal. He bowed to the emperor again.
The emperor just smiled faintly and said nothing.
The old Taoist felt a little awe inexplicably, but looking at Gu Liubai on the side of the Taoist head, his eyes suddenly became sharp again, "I wonder if the new Taoist head knows the identity of our group?"
After all, Gu Liubai is not a ignorant playboy. In addition, he has become a secret stance in the border army since he was a child. He has cultivated the refining information and the ability to remember everything he has learned. Looking at the costumes of these people and listening to the accents of these people, he has guessed their identities. He even knows what these people are named, what they have done, and what their cultivation has.
But at this time, he just imitated the emperor, smiled faintly, and did not answer.
The old Taoist did not expect Gu Liubai to behave like this. He raised his eyebrows instantly and was not angry. He just continued, "Dao Sheng knows it or doesn't know?"
Gu Liubai then calmly said, "Whether I know or not, if a member of the Taoist sect comes, he must register and record the books before he arrives, and the ceremonies, ceremonies, and the stele of the stewards will be used to restrict his words and deeds, and he will set up his duties in the Great Ceremony."
After the emperor arrived at this holy palace, he sat quietly, and seemed to have not looked at Gu Liubai carefully. At this time, the old Taoist came up to attack, but he turned his head and looked at Gu Liubai with a smile on his face.
Before, Gu Liubai learned his appearance, and the smile on the corner of his mouth had expanded a lot. When he heard Gu Liubai say this, the corner of his mouth suddenly rose significantly, and the smile bloomed uncontrollably on his face.
"This kid is really interesting," he said in his heart.
The old Taoist suddenly stopped.
He originally wanted to give Gu Liubai a warning at the beginning, and wanted to expose Gu Shiwu in front of everyone in the world, and to expose his shallow knowledge of the Dao Sect in front of everyone in the world.
But unexpectedly, the other party gave him a warning with the rules of the Great Ceremony.
"Zi Yangzi, you are also a master of the Southern Sect. Zi Yang Cave is named after you. It is given by the late emperor. But no matter how merits it is, all the saints in the three realms of the Heavenly Great Ceremony should be equal. They should follow the ritual rules of the Great Ceremony, and they should not be arrogant because of their high achievements." He was still thinking about how to deal with it, but Gu Liubai looked a little disappointed and seriously advised him.
His voice seemed very calm and polite, but with the assistance of true qi, the voice was extremely clear outside the Zongsheng Palace, and there was an uproar outside the Zongsheng Palace.
Many Chang'an people watching the fun on the road suddenly woke up. It turned out that the arrival of these people was not a necessary procedure for the Grand Ceremony. Are these people here to cause trouble for Gu Shiwu?
The emperors are all here to preside over the presidency. How dare these people cause trouble?
Are you so brave?
Southern Pati?
What does it mean?
Most Chang'an people who watched the fun had a limited understanding of the Taoist sect. They didn't know what Gu Liubai meant at this time, but when this old Taoist heard Gu Liubai talk about the Southern Sect and then talked about the origin of Ziyang Cave, his face became hot instantly, and his breathing became hot for a moment.
He originally thought that Gu Liubai was at least ignorant in the cognition of Taoism. He wasn’t he that he couldn’t even figure out how to use the black dog blood, and how could he even have a clear origin?
When his forehead was confused, Gu Liubai was already looking at an old Taoist wearing a yellow Taoist robe under the high platform and said sincerely, "The one who came with you is Senior Brother Danxiazi of Danding Sect? Senior Brother Danxiazi also received the grace of the former emperor and sent three chariots of Sutra... There are more than ten Dao scriptures in the Sutra, various Dao Sect rituals, and the rituals of the Dharma Assembly clearly recorded. Senior Brother Danxiazi, shouldn't he have never read it?"
The corners of the emperor's mouth had just calmed down, and now it was rising up again.
It is worthy of being the best stump. These people have touched a lot of their old backgrounds, and they may be killed by him.
At this time, not only were the people in the outsiders of the Zongsheng Palace in the Zongsheng Palace shocked, but many Taoist monks in the Zongsheng Palace were shocked, and the Taoist priests led by the old Taoist robe under the high platform were even more trembling.
Zi Yangzi's face changed.
This is not a person who is not clear about the use of black dog blood?
This person knows more than just their identity?
Everyone knows that Danxiazi has to give the Taoist sect scriptures, and these words at this moment are terrifying.
Have you not read the scriptures given by the late emperor until now?
What a harsh accusation this is?
But if you look good, how can you not know these rules and regulations, and you knowingly violate them?
If we talk about the advance information preparation and the verbal skills, he is absolutely no match for Gu Liubai. In a hurry, he instantly fell into Gu Liubai's rhythm and immediately made a statement and said, "We are not unaware of the rules, but there is a reason for the matter and the time is short."
