When they really met Mo Wen, facing a powerful enemy, Gu Xinglang calmed down out of habit. ..Gu Shao sat down and bowed to Mo Wen, his tone was dry, but he told Mo Wen everything that Xianzong said, "I didn't expect Mo Wen to leave so soon, I was reluctant to let him go, and I wanted him to stay in Fengtian for a few more days."
After Master Gu finished these hypocritical words, Master Fenglin also arrived at the Buddhist temple.
Gu Xinglang took a look at the unrecognizable Master Fenglin, and gritted his teeth and repeated the words of apology he knew how to say to Master Fenglin.
Young Master Fenglin listened to Gu Xinglang's insincere words. His true expression could not even be seen, let alone what kind of expression he had.
Gu Xinglang finished reciting his apology like reciting a book, clasped his fists towards Master Fenglin, and said, "I hope Master will forgive me."
Young Master Fenglin accepted the salute from Gu Xinglang and looked at Mo Wen. With Mo Wen present, Young Master Fenglin knew very well that he had to listen to Mo Wen in everything.
Mo Wen was laughing, looking at Gu Xinglang and sighing, "The prince consort is a general, Ning Sheng wants you to do this job, I'm sorry to embarrass you."
Gu Xinglang hurriedly said: "Master Host, His Majesty wants to come in person, he..."
"I don't mean to blame Ning Sheng," Mo Wen waved his hand at Gu Xinglang and said, "Don't worry, Prince Consort."
It didn't matter whether Gu Xinglang was suspicious or not. When Mo Wen raised his hand, Gu Xinglang and Master Chengguan saw that the gaps between Mo Wen's fingernails were black. It wasn't dirt, but the flesh of his fingers was black. Gu Xinglang and Master Chengguan looked at each other and saw that Mo Wen was indeed poisoned!
Mo Wen put his hands on his sides again, looked at Gu Xinglang and asked, "Where is Princess Linglong now?"
Gu Xinglang said: "The princess is in the imperial palace."
"Your marriage with the princess was not easy to come by," Mo Wendao said, "Please treat the princess well in the future, Prince Consort."
Gu Xinglang looked up at Mo Wen. It is said that appearance is determined by the heart, but just looking at Mo Wen's face, Gu Xinglang really couldn't tell that this person was bad. If this person wasn't the abbot of the Eternal Life Temple, and if this person hadn't taught a disciple like Fenglin, and if his elder brother and wife had become enemies with this person, Gu Xinglang felt that he wouldn't have hated Mo Wen.
Mo Wen stood up and walked slowly to Gu Xinglang.
Master Chengguan held his breath, and five golden roots slipped from his sleeves into his hands.
Mo Wen looked into Gu Xinglang's eyes, a pair of clear black and white eyes that had not yet been tainted by the vicissitudes of life. "Do you hate Zhao Beicheng?" Mo Wen suddenly asked Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang didn't understand why Mo Wen asked him this question, and blinked at Mo Wen.
"Do you want the man who crippled your legs to die?" Mo Wen asked Gu Xinglang while extending his hand to him.
Gu Xinglang looked at the hands stretched out in front of him. The hands were so pale that they were almost transparent. Gu Xinglang could even see the blood flowing in the blue veins.
"I can help you," Mo Wen placed his hand on Gu Xinglang's forehead.
Gu Xinglang's eyes were a little dazed, and he thought blankly, what's wrong with me?
"Prince consort?" Imperial Master Chengguan called out to Gu Xinglang.
Master Chengguan's voice made Gu Xinglang tremble. Gu Shaoshen fell back, avoiding Mo Wen's hand, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master. My emperor will punish Zhao Beicheng."
Mo Wen withdrew his hand, looked at Gu Xinglang with a smile in his eyes, and said, "That's good. A general should be open-minded."
Gu Xinglang didn’t understand what Mo Wen was going to do, so he nodded randomly.
Imperial Master Chengguan stepped forward and said, "Master, it is getting late. If you and Junior Master want to leave today, you cannot delay any longer."
Mo Wen looked back at Cheng Guan and laughed softly, "Hearing what you said, I would suspect that you are trying to drive Feng Lin and me away."
Imperial Master Chengguan bowed to Mo Wen and said respectfully, "Chengguan dare not."
Gu Xinglang then said to Mo Wen: "I dare not delay the Master's schedule, Master, I will take my leave."
"Okay," Mo Wen said to Gu Xinglang, "When we get back, tell Ning Sheng that it was just a misunderstanding between the princess and Feng Lin, and tell him not to worry about it."
"Yes," Gu Xinglang responded.
Young Master Fenglin smiled, but whether it was a real smile or a forced one, only Young Master Fenglin himself knew it.
Two imperial guards came in and carried Gu Xinglang out of the Buddhist hall.
Mo Wen stood in the Buddhist hall without moving.
National Master Chengguan did not move either. He glanced at Mo Wen's slightly trembling hands behind his back, and his eyes darkened.
"Qinghui," Mo Wen suddenly called out to Gu Xinglang again as he watched Gu Xinglang being carried out of the Buddhist hall.
Master Chengguan covered his mouth and coughed without waiting for Gu Xinglang to turn around.
As Master Chengguan cleared his throat, warriors armed with swords swarmed in from the doors and windows of the Buddhist hall and attacked Mo Wen without any hesitation.
Young Master Fenglin had never thought that there would be someone in this world who would dare to draw a sword against his master. He was so shocked that he didn't even think of shouting.
While Mo Wen dodged the sword that was attacking him, he looked at Master Chengguan and whispered, "You really want to kill me."
Imperial Master Chengguan looked at Mo Wen and said, "Young Master, the abbot has treated you well, how can you betray your master and ancestors?!"
Mo Wen shook his head, looked at Master Chengguan and sighed, "Is this what you call practicing Buddhism?"
If killing someone and then framing them is considered practicing Buddhism, Mo Wen thought, what qualifications does Chengguan have to accuse himself of not practicing Buddhism?
National Master Chengguan looked at Mo Wen, who was in a somewhat embarrassed state under the siege of the crowd. If Buddha could not save this man, then he didn't mind becoming a demon.
"Master?" Young Master Fenglin finally called out.
"You have been poisoned," Imperial Master Chengguan said to Mo Wen.
Mo Wen's face turned cold. If he hadn't sealed his own way, how could he possibly deal with just a dozen warriors here?
"Someone come here!" Young Master Fenglin didn't care about his injuries and ran to the door of the Buddhist hall.
Outside the Buddhist temple, in the huge courtyard, there was no one except Gu Xinglang sitting at the bottom of the steps.
A master from the Imperial Palace stabbed Mo Wen in the chest with a sword, which made the warrior himself unbelievable. Did he really hurt Mo Wen from the Eternal Life Temple?
"He has been poisoned, you need to act quickly," Imperial Master Chengguan urged everyone.
Outside the courtyard, all the monks who followed Mo Wen were besieged by unidentified people without exception. After being attacked repeatedly by Yu Xiaoxiao, there were only a few monks left who followed Mo Wen from the Yongsheng Temple to Fengtian. Under the siege of so many masters, most of these monks fell to the ground in a short time.
Mo Wen looked outside the Buddhist temple.
Master Chengguan raised his hand and shot five golden needles at Gu Xinglang, instantly sealing all of Gu Xinglang's five senses.
A small copper bell also appeared between Mo Wen's fingers. As Mo Wen's body shape changed, the copper bell made a slight "ding-dong" sound.
