Chapter 59: The World's No. 1 Inheritance
Yu Linglong was almost amused by the temple master.
"He is my man, and then he killed my nominal son and husband?"
The master of the temple had a solemn expression and spoke sincerely, "Senior sister, Ji Changsheng did this to help you to put justice above your own and to enforce justice. Everything he did was to carry out your instructions. Even if his methods were extreme, they were also to protect your image and reputation."
Yu Linglong seemed to be thinking: "Go on."
The temple master breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Senior sister, this is the crime that the Bai family has been doing without your knowledge all these years, taking human lives lightly, enriching themselves at the expense of the public, and bringing disaster to the country and the people."
The abbot presented a large stack of case files.
It filled up half of the hall.
The large number made Yu Linglong's expression begin to change.
"This is a petition from the people of Sheng Country. It has the bloody fingerprints of 100,000 people of Sheng Country. They all hope that you can show leniency to Ji Changsheng. In the hearts of the people of Sheng Country, Ji Changsheng is a hero who killed traitors for them. Senior sister, the people's will cannot be violated."
Yu Linglong and the temple master looked at each other.
Not a word.
The temple master knelt down in front of Yu Linglong with a plop.
Very conscious and well-behaved.
Without Yu Linglong's interrogation, the master took the initiative to confess: "Senior Sister, I was wrong, I am guilty."
Yu Linglong felt like she had punched the air.
This guy always admits his mistakes before she gets angry.
Moreover, this guy really didn't hide his thoughts at all in front of her.
Yu Linglong asked helplessly: "What did you do wrong?"
The master of the temple said frankly: "I have known about the crimes of the Bai family for several years. I only brought them out now because I want to beat the fallen dog."
Yu Linglong: “…”
This is why she was a little angry just now.
These materials were obviously not prepared today.
If the temple master really had the public interest in mind, he would not have waited until now to use these charges against the Bai family.
The temple master continued, "Also, the petition of the people of Sheng Kingdom was also written by me. It has only been a day since Ji Changsheng killed Bai Shizhi. If I hadn't been behind the scenes, there would have been no such petition. I just used it to deliberately blackmail Senior Sister morally."
Yu Linglong looked up at the sky.
As long as this guy is honest enough, she won't be able to punish the master of the temple for deceiving her.
After all, the master of the temple is also her direct confidant.
Moreover, he was truly loyal to her.
All the little thoughts are put on the surface.
"What's going on with Danqing Pavilion and Ying Kingdom? Did you arrange this to put pressure on me?" Yu Linglong asked.
The abbot immediately shook his head: "That was not my doing. I know that Senior Sister would never bow down to external forces. At most, she would give in for her own people. So I only arranged for the petition of the disciples of Xuandu Temple."
As soon as the master finished speaking, the voice of the law enforcement elder came from outside:
"Master, hundreds of disciples have gathered outside the main peak and are kneeling in the square to petition for Ji Changsheng. Please, Senior Sister Linglong, show some leniency."
Yu Linglong looked towards the master of the temple.
The temple master nodded obediently: "Senior sister, this is indeed my arrangement, so that you can save face. And as long as you meet the requirements of the disciples below, you can establish an image of sacrificing relatives for the sake of justice, and the disciples will respect you even more."
Yu Linglong has no temper.
There is only helplessness.
"Let them go first."
"Sister, I can't do this." The master of the temple said honestly, "I haven't yet reached the point where I can control Xuandu Temple as I please. I can stir up public opinion and stir up the righteousness of the disciples, but if I forcefully suppress them, it will alienate them and make them lose their sense of belonging to Xuandu Temple. This behavior is very unwise. Please understand, Sister."
Yu Linglong was really amused by the temple master this time: "You know that you have just ascended the throne and your prestige is insufficient, but you still dare to play such a big hand. You calculated that I would give in, right?"
The abbot continued to nod obediently, and then seriously admitted his mistake: "Senior sister is kind and virtuous, I really think so."
Yu Linglong took a deep breath and said, "Then let them kneel down first."
Yu Linglong had no intention of helping the master clean up the mess now.
She still has a lot of things to figure out.
"Are you in collusion with Li Huanyan?"
The master of the temple shook his head and said, "It can't be considered collusion, it can only be considered cooperation. We have a common goal, so we will naturally cooperate with each other in some actions. But I swear to God, Senior Sister, I really didn't expect Bai Shizhi to die this time. Before you came out of seclusion, I didn't even know that Sheng Taiping was a soul puppet controlled by Bai Shizhi, let alone taking any action against him. I do plan to take action against the Bai family, but in my plan, I have to wait at least a year, until you ascend to heaven."
Yu Linglong did not doubt the master's words.
Not many people knew about the relationship between Sheng Taiping and Bai Shizhi.
It’s not surprising that the temple master didn’t know about this, but it would be really strange if Saint Maiden Hehuan knew about this.
The master of the temple guessed, "Senior sister, I suspect that among the people Bai Shizhi had fooled around with outside, there were chess pieces arranged by Saint Hehuan, so she could set up such a game."
Yu Linglong nodded.
She thought so too.
“So, senior sister, there is no need to be angry about the death of such a playboy and dissolute man. He deserved to die. With a fairy like senior sister in his arms, he is still fooling around out there. If it were me, I would also let him go to see the King of Hell.” The temple master said in a grim tone.
Yu Linglong asked in a cold voice: "Master Mu is full of murderous intent, so when you killed Bai Guanlin, were you also filled with righteous indignation?"
The master of the temple: "... Senior Sister, I really didn't kill Bai Guanlin. It was also Ji Changsheng's doing."
Yu Linglong sneered, "Without your help, could Ji Changsheng have successfully killed Bai Guanlin? Without your help, Bai Guanlin would not have had the slightest ability to fight back, and would not even have had time to call for help? You know, he died halfway up the mountain at Xuandu Temple."
The distance for rescue after the accident at Xuandu Temple and the distance for rescue after the accident at Shengguo are different.
Bai Shizhi's death was really an accident.
Even the Saint Hehuan didn't expect that Yu Linglong was out of reach.
But Bai Guanlin's death was not an accident.
The master of the temple decisively threw the pot away.
"Senior Sister, I admit that I chose to stand by and watch when Ji Changsheng killed Bai Guanlin, but it was not me who covered up for Ji Changsheng, and it was not me who stopped others from rescuing him. It was Changxi."
The master of the temple didn't know whether Bai Guanlin was killed by Ji Changsheng or Li Changxi.
That day, after Li Changxi used magic to deceive the outside world's perception, although the master of the temple discovered it in time, he did not have a deep understanding and did not know what had happened inside.
He only knew that Bai Guanlin was dead.
The murderer could not escape from Ji Changsheng and Li Changxi.
To the outside world, Bai Guanlin was killed by Jiang Boqing.
But in front of Fairy Linglong, the master still chose to tell the truth.
"It was Ji Changsheng who made the first move that day, and then Changxi covered up the traces of Ji Changsheng's actions. I checked carefully afterwards, and Bai Guanlin died under Jiang Boqing's 'Purple Mysterious Yin Thunder'. With Ji Changsheng's cultivation, it was difficult for him to get Jiang Boqing's 'Purple Mysterious Yin Thunder' into his own hands. So if nothing unexpected happened, Bai Guanlin eventually died at the hands of Changxi."
The temple master secretly observed Yu Linglong's expression.
He found that just as he expected, Yu Linglong was not really angry.
The guess that had been lingering in his mind was confirmed at this moment, but he still took the initiative to ask: "Senior Sister, did you do this on purpose?"
Yu Linglong looked towards the master of the temple.
The master of the temple said frankly: "If you really wanted to protect the Bai family, the Bai family would not have fallen to this point today. If you really cared about the Bai family, you would not have chosen me to be the master of Xuandu Temple. Senior sister, I have been guessing that you seem to be deliberately letting us deal with the Bai family."
"What do you want to say?"
The master of the temple expressed his truest thoughts: "Senior sister, have you practiced the "Supreme Slashing Love Sutra"? "
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"The Great Sutra of Cutting Love" cuts off all ties of love and karma, is free from all attachments, and ascends to the upper realm.
If Yu Linglong really practiced the "Tai Shang Zhu Qing Jing", then the death of the Bai family would be what Yu Linglong wanted.
Yu Linglong laughed: "Have you been guessing for many years?"
The master shook his head and said, "It hasn't been many years. It was only since you, Senior Sister, chose me to be the master of Xuandu Temple that I began to gradually become convinced of this idea. Senior Sister, you know me well. If I take power, the Bai family will die sooner or later without a burial place."
"Since you have already guessed it, why don't you ask me?"
The master of the temple told the truth: "I dare not."
Yu Linglong smiled and said, "The Supreme Love Severing Sutra seems to be about severing love, but it is actually about severing karma. The Bai family is not as important to me as you are. If you are still alive, what does the Bai family mean to me? Besides, if I really practice the Supreme Love Severing Sutra, it will not be enough to just sever the Bai family. I have to sever the entire Xuandu Temple to completely sever karma and ascend to the immortal world. Are you worried about this?"
The master nodded silently.
This was the thing he was most worried about after he had this idea, no doubt about it.
If Yu Linglong decides to deal with Xuandu Temple, then Xuandu Temple will face the biggest crisis since its establishment.
Yu Linglong directly hit the head of the temple master with the hilt of the sword and said angrily: "What are you thinking about all day? Can't you just ask me directly if you don't understand something? Practicing the "Supreme Slashing Love Sutra"? You've come up with it. Even if I have this idea, do I have the ability to destroy Xuandu Temple?"
After a pause, Yu Linglong seemed to feel that this was not convincing enough, and added: "Even if I have the ability to destroy Xuandu Temple, would I dare? Have you forgotten the status of our Xuandu Temple in the fairy world? There are saints above my head. Even if I go crazy, I will not seek death."
The master of the temple muttered in a low voice: "I always feel that when you go crazy, you dare to do anything and don't care about the consequences at all."
Yu Linglong hit him again with the hilt of the sword.
"That was in this world. The Taoist tradition of our Xuandu Temple in the upper world is the direct descendant of the lineage of the Great Purity Saint. The ancestor we worship is the only disciple of the Great Purity Saint. Even if you lend me your courage, I would not dare to provoke the ancestor, let alone the saint behind the ancestor."
The master was very embarrassed.
It seems that I really guessed wrong.
"Senior sister, since you haven't practiced the Supreme Love Slashing Sutra, why do you care so little about the Bai family?"
The master of the temple has been testing Fairy Linglong's attitude towards the Bai family.
In fact, ever since Li Changxi killed her husband, the master of the temple began to suspect that the relationship between his senior sister and the Bai family was not as close as he imagined.
As the years passed, his speculation became more and more confirmed, but he didn't dare to gamble.
Ji Changsheng helped him verify his idea.
Until now, Ji Changsheng has only been temporarily detained in the Discipline Hall.
There was no lynching at all.
If the master of the temple still can't see Fairy Linglong's attitude of letting him off the hook, he has lived all these years in vain.
Ji Changsheng framed Yu Linglong's son, assassinated him directly, and killed Yu Linglong's husband with his own hands, but now he is unharmed.
There was something wrong with this matter.
That's why the master of the temple guessed whether Fairy Linglong had practiced the "Tai Shang Zhan Qing Jing".
But this possibility was denied by Fairy Linglong.
The master of the temple fell into confusion.
Yu Linglong said to herself, "It seems that you can't see it. No one has seen it in all these years. How did Ji Changsheng see it?"
This is something she still hasn't figured out.
Is this a gifted talent? Or is this the gold content of the Daluo heir?
"Senior Sister, what did Ji Changsheng see?"
Yu Linglong was embarrassed to say that Ji Changsheng saw that she was still a virgin, so she said it another way: "He saw that I had never been pregnant."
"puff!"
The master of the temple burst out laughing.
"What? Then how did you get your child, Senior Sister?"
"Bai Shizhi had a child with a woman outside. I never asked who the child was with, and I don't care."
Yu Linglong glanced at the master of the temple and shook her head when she said this: "So Bai Shizhi's finding women outside has nothing to do with me. It is unreasonable to kill Bai Shizhi for this reason."
The master of the temple was dumbfounded.
"Senior Sister, are you and Bai Shizhi playing your own games?"
After saying this, the master slapped himself.
"I was wrong, Senior Sister. The Bai family married into our Xuandu Temple just to seek shelter. In fact, you didn't fancy Bai Shizhi at all, right?"
Yu Linglong resisted the urge to hit the abbot and nodded.
The abbot smiled foolishly: "I knew it, Senior Sister, how could you possibly fall for a loser like Bai Shizhi."
Yu Linglong: "...Junior Brother, there's something wrong with you."
The temple master coughed lightly and explained, "Senior sister, you know me well. I have always regarded you as my guide on the road. So when I learned that you are still the pure and flawless goddess, I was naturally happy. Since you, senior sister, don't like that loser Bai Shizhi, did you agree to marry into the Bai family just to protect the Bai family?"
"Of course not. Why would I protect the Bai family for no reason?"
The master of the temple seemed to be thinking: "Is there someone behind the Bai family? The person who can make you, senior sister, go against your will and accept the Bai family's marriage must be extraordinary. Senior sister, you are the best in the world, who can make you bow your head? Wait, I remember one thing, senior sister, you became good friends with Emperor Huangquan, which happened after you married Bai Shizhi. And the strongest person in the world before you, senior sister, was the founder of Huangquan Sect, Corpse Demon, who has successfully ascended to the upper realm. Corpse Demon is also known as Madam White Bone, and it is said that she left a bloodline to be passed down before her death. Senior sister, you have inherited Madam White Bone's legacy. Protecting the Bai family is to repay Madam White Bone's karma?"
Yu Linglong's eyes flashed with admiration, and she nodded gently: "Madam Bai Gu has successfully established a foothold in Baihu Ridge in the prehistoric fairyland, and has been protected by the White Tiger God, one of the four spirits. Although I am not afraid, I still have to give her face."
At the beginning of Chapter 48, the master of the temple told Changsheng that Fairy Linglong and Emperor Huangquan were on good terms. There were foreshadowings before and after, so everyone should be able to understand it. As for Madam Bai Gu, there is no need to say more.
