Momotani Ichiro and Momotani Jiro, dressed in kasaya robes, quickly arrived at the reception room!
Seeing Zhou Zhi dressed in battle skirts and boots, holding a sword and sitting to the side, Momotani Ichiro immediately put his hands together and said, "Amitabha! It has been many years since I last saw you, Benefactor Zhou, and your cultivation has improved again! You are now a Seven-Star Immortal Saint! Congratulations!"
Zhou Zhi said, "You're only a Seven Star! Aren't you the same? I've come here today on the orders of the Ziwei Emperor! Momotani Ichiro, receive the decree!"
Upon hearing this, Momotani Ichiro looked nervous and immediately knelt down, saying, "Abbot Momotani Ichiro of Tenon-ji Temple, I accept the decree!"
Zhou Zhi picked up the imperial edict and began to read it aloud!
One minute later, the imperial edict was read aloud!
Momotani Ichiro stood up, took the imperial edict, and read it carefully again!
"I never imagined that the Great Emperor Ziwei would come to my Tianyin Temple to offer incense! This is a wonderful thing! I will definitely arrange this matter properly and clearly!"
Zhou Zhi said, "These ten disciples are all from the Imperial Palace. Leave them here to assist you in your preparations! The Ziwei Emperor will be arriving in person in thirty days. Remember not to neglect the Emperor!"
After saying that, Zhou Zhi turned around and left Tianyin Temple without looking back, leaving behind only Lin Caogen, Wang Yong and 10 other disciples at the Immortal Spirit stage!
Momoya Ichiro glanced at the ten people. Only Lin Caogen and Wang Yong were at the peak of the Immortal Spirit stage. The rest were only at the fifth or sixth level of the fifth-tier Immortal Spirit stage!
"Arrange rooms for these ten distinguished guests! Do not neglect them!"
Momotani Ichiro put his hands together in prayer.
Momotani Jiro said, "Don't worry, senior brother! I'll arrange it myself!"
After saying this, Momotani Jiro bowed deeply and said, "Esteemed benefactors! Please follow me!"
Tao Gu Jilang led Lin Caogen, Wang Yong and others to the back courtyard of Tianyin Temple, where there were a hundred well-arranged superior rooms prepared for worshippers.
"Esteemed benefactors, there are a total of one hundred superior rooms here. Thirty-six of them are already occupied, and the remaining 70 have empty signs hanging on their doors. You may choose any room you like!"
Wang Yong put his hands together and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Venerable Monk!"
Momotani Jiro laughed and said, "You're welcome! If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask! It is an honor for our temple to receive the Ziwei Emperor. If there is anything that needs to be prepared, please feel free to suggest it. All the work can be handled by the monks of our temple!"
Wang Yong laughed and said, "Alright! Please return, venerable monk! If you need anything, we brothers will help you!"
Momotani Jiro said, "Amitabha! Then this humble monk will take his leave!"
As soon as Momotani Jiro left, Wang Yong and the other nine were overjoyed!
Wang Yong then said, "This is a great job! We don't have to do any work, we can just supervise!"
Another Immortal Spirit stage disciple laughed and said, "Brother Wang is right! Following Brother Wang really means living the high life!"
Wang Yong laughed and said, "It's too early to say! Let's see what kind of vegetarian meal they bring later!"
Half an hour later, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon!
A dozen or so monks went from room to room knocking on doors and began delivering vegetarian meals!
Wang Yong knocked on Lin Caogen's door and said, "Brother! I have a big table in my room, why don't you come and have a few drinks with me? I've already asked the monks in the temple to send all the vegetarian meals to me, how about we all eat together?"
Lin Caogen laughed and said, "Alright! We'll do as Brother Wang says!"
Upon entering Wang Yong's room, the other eight Immortal Spirit stage cultivators stood up and greeted him, "Hello, Brother Lin!"
Lin Caogen laughed and said, "Some of you are older than me, how can I be your older brother!"
Wang Yong laughed and said, "Those who have attained enlightenment are teachers, and martial arts are revered! Brother, you are so young, yet you have already reached the peak of the Immortal Spirit stage! Even I admire you greatly!"
Lin Caogen glanced at the vegetarian meal on the table and laughed, "This is truly a feast! There are even lobsters and king crabs!"
Wang Yong laughed and said, "The monks from Tianyin Temple knew we came from the Ziwei Imperial Palace, so they were deliberately trying to curry favor with us!"
Lin Caogen sighed, "It's true what they say, a big tree is a good place to rest!"
"That's right!"
A group of people around laughed.
Time flew by and it was midnight!
In the meditation room, Momotani Ichiro asked Momotani Jiro, "Are there any suspicious things about those ten people from the Ziwei Imperial Palace?"
Momotani Jiro said, "Reporting to Senior Brother! There was nothing suspicious! We were treated to good wine and food at noon and in the afternoon, and then at eight o'clock in the evening, this group of people started playing mahjong and poker. They're treating our Tianyin Temple like a resort or a farmhouse!"
Momotani Ichiro said, "It's alright! Just make them happy! After all, they have special identities, they come from the Ziwei Imperial Palace, and these people are all officially registered. We must not offend them! By the way, go and check on that Iron Sword Venerable tonight! Keeping him alive is a great scourge! If you can't get him to talk, kill him tonight!"
Momotani Jiro said, "Don't worry, senior brother! I'll take care of it right away!"
"Also! Remember to keep an eye on that kid named Lin Bai who came from the Ziwei Imperial Palace! He cultivates with a heavy sword on his back, and I think that sword is quite heavy!"
Momotani Jiro replied, "I will obey my senior brother's orders!"
Lin Bai is actually an alias of Lin Caogen! The Youlong Sword on his back weighs almost 120,000 jin in the Ziwei District! This sword has successively devoured the Dragon Soul Sword of the Dragon Clan and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword of the Abyss of Sin, and its weight is constantly increasing! Fortunately, a sword spirit has been generated within the sword, and now the sword spirit can share some of the weight, making the 120,000 jin Youlong Sword only weigh 10,000 to 20,000 jin!
Even so, Ichiro Momotani still thought that Hayashi was a master of heavy training!
At one o'clock in the morning, Lin Caogen took out his night clothes from his spatial ring, put on the clothes, and climbed onto his roof!
He carried a heavy sword and used the Free and Easy Ghostly Steps to move the sky without making a sound, which is enough to prove that his cultivation and martial arts skills have reached a high level!
Although it was late at night, not all the monks in Tianyin Temple were asleep; a third of the rooms were still brightly lit! Some were meditating, some were chanting scriptures, and some were contemplating enlightenment!
