Hàn Jǐng has changed.
At least, his volatile and irritable temperament would truly be put away in front of so many real people?
No, the nature is hard to change, and the essence is difficult to alter.
Hàn Jǐng's nature is not capricious.
Hàn Jǐng's nature is to be a small person who gets what he wants, to adapt to the wind, to be greedy and afraid of death, and to be someone who follows the wind like grass on a wall.
If he can maintain his status, he will never lower himself.
When he can benefit himself, he will definitely ask for it.
When his dignity is hurt, as long as he can control and solve it, he will definitely immediately explode. If not, he will just sweep it away directly?
Therefore, old Gong's verbal insults to him, he pretends not to understand, and does not admit it.
On the surface, he is straightforward in his attitude, asking for the master to use strong measures and the fastest way to get our current matter done.
However, the Four Regulations Mirror and the Zǐyī Yùjiǎn cannot be given to him. Once given, he will no longer return it.
With his strength, having these two artifacts, it will be very difficult for us to take them over.
"If it really comes down to needing to call the elder, I will make the request. After all, this is my matter." I didn't produce any artifacts, and I looked calmly at Hàn Jǐng.
There is one more point.
Perhaps it's a coincidence, but Hàn Jǐng's view coincides with Lǎo Gōng's to some extent.
One to warn a hundred.
Just, Lǎo Gōng said that he would kill other blind eyes of Buddhist temples, and Hàn Jǐng wanted to kill the Agompo Rampa.
A slight silence has fallen inside the house.
The greats are all as cunning as foxes; how could they not know that the atmosphere between them is subtle?
"I think that today's discussion will not yield a result. What Master Hàn Jǐng said makes sense, but we still lack the people from Yunjinshan. We need to wait for them to arrive before we can make a decision. What does Master Hàn Jǐng think?" Máo Shēng opened his mouth.
In the scene, only he can put on a little less pretension when he speaks to Hàn Jǐng.
Hàn Jǐng took it well, and then said, "Yes, I know those group of Immortals from Yunjin Mountain. They all seem calm on the surface, but in reality, they are all hotheaded. Well, let's wait for them to come."
"Show your powers, my corpse body is even better for the master to demonstrate his strength. You will still have to give me the Zǐyī Yùjiǎn and Sìguī Míngjìng at that time. Everyone here today is for your own good."
I bowed and didn't reply.
Wu Jinlan began to see us out of the room.
Returning to their own room, the moonlight poured into the window.
I kneel cross-legged at the bedside, watching the endless night outside the window and a round moon, sighing slightly.
"Old thing, his face is as thick as the city walls. It's fortunate that the elder of Sìguī Mountain is benevolent, otherwise, he might really be possessed by him. Let him try to possess me." Lǎo Gōng hunched his back and walked to the windowsill, spitting a loogie over the edge.
"I always feel that things that are abnormal are often caused by an evil spirit. The way the Agompo Rampa is so quiet makes me suspicious." I shook my head.
"He can't stay quiet either. We all know that even if the Buddhist temples come to help, it's only on the surface. In reality, when things get tough, they'll run faster than rabbits and won't move their roots for him. Maó Shēng's words are indeed correct. He's made a huge mess and may now be worried about it. "Lǎo Gōng muttered: "The best thing he can do now is to let people go."
Let them go?
Does the Agompo Rampa know this?
I silently shook my head.
"Well, let's go to sleep first. I don't know what Old Tang is up to, or is it that this time the Immortals from Yunjin Mountain are out? They're all so proud and take their time to arrive?" Lǎo Gōng started muttering again.
I ignored him and went to lie down and rest.
In fact, I could sit cross-legged and concentrate, which would not consume much energy, and instead, make my thoughts more agile.
But sleeping might result in dreams. This place is close to the Five Lamasery, and close to the Agompo Rampa. Perhaps, the dreams could give some premonitions again?
I fell asleep deeply, but I slept very deeply and didn't dream at all.
When I woke up the next day, the sunlight filled the room and my face was heated.
Upon waking up, I noticed that most of the other rooms were already open, and several Taoists were descending the stairs. They greeted me and bowed first.
As my hearing is very sensitive, I knew that Wu Jinluan and the others were not on the second floor, so I went down to the hotel.
Indeed, the restaurant on the other side was already packed with people.
Walking over, I saw the boss busy as a bee.
I heard another sound of footsteps entering my ear just as Wu Jinluan had greeted me.
In fact, there were many footsteps on this street. The one I heard was just different in its strength.
After greeting the other immortals in the restaurant with a bow, I turned around and silently looked to the west.
He Yōu Tiān walked out and stood beside me shoulder to shoulder.
Approximately three to four minutes later, a group of Tibetan Buddhist monks arrived.
These lamas approached me, clasping their hands together and saying a Tibetan greeting. I recognized the leader, who had a familiar face, the Golden Armor Lama.
The Golden Armor Lama, speaking with a slightly awkward ordinary language, said, "The living Buddha has heard that the Taoist Sect has entered the territory of Buddhism, and knows that old friends are coming. Therefore, I have been ordered by the living Buddha to send these monks to welcome your party and visit the Five Lama Temple."
The Agompo Rampa knowing that we have arrived is normal.
"Is this a Chang'han banquet?" I asked the Golden Armor Lama directly.
At this moment, Wu Jinluan and He Lín'ān also came out and faced the Golden Armor Lama directly.
In the scene, if the Golden Armor Lama lied even half a word, there would be nowhere to hide.
"Why would it be a Chang'han banquet? The living Buddha said that he knows why you all have come, and invites you to enter the Buddhist temple. The Five Lama Temple has prepared a welcoming banquet." The Golden Armor Lama respectfully explained.
Wu Jinluan seemed to be thinking, and He Lín'ān looked at me and nodded slightly.
Their meaning was clear: the Golden Armor Lama was telling the truth.
However, my perspective on the matter is different.
If there are problems with the Agompo Rampa, it's just that he hasn't informed the Golden Armor Lama about it.
If he fools the Golden Armor Lama, the Golden Armor Lama naturally won't know. If he fools himself, what he says naturally is the truth.
"Is it not the Agompo Rampa who is hosting the banquet and inviting us? Are there other living Buddhas from other temples, and how many have come?" I spoke directly to the point.
Wu Jinluan's eyelids twitched slightly, and He Lín'ān even closed his eyes slightly, showing a hint of alarm.
At this moment, all the immortals and disciples in the restaurant locked their gazes on the Golden Armor Lama.
If things don't go as planned, the Golden Armor Lama will have to stay here.
"Five Buddhist temples have been invited, and five living Buddhas have come," the Golden Armor Lama said.
Sweat beads streamed down from my forehead, some of which seeped into my eyes, causing intense stinging and irritation, while others slid down to my chin, causing numbness and itching.
Five temples, five living Buddhas, counting the Agompo Rampa, that makes six immortals?
This is different from Lao Gōng's expectations and our thoughts, completely different...
Sìguī Mountain, due to the issue of artifacts, can only invite one out-of-sun-god ancestor.
Jùqū Mountain might not be able to invite any.
The ancient Qiang City may not have shown its skills in inviting ancestors, and the Jīnlún can invite the thundering ancestor.
Even if we wait for Yunjinshan to come, we may not be able to achieve a balanced power...
Let alone the idea of using one to scare a hundred?
Even if it's not a Hongmen banquet, this is still better than a Hongmen banquet!
"Long elder, please..." The Golden Armor Lama respectfully made a gesture of invitation.
The faces of the many disciples, elders, and immortals in the restaurant were all without exception, cold as water.
