A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1431

[Chapter 1420 Leaves]

The person who came in from the door turned out to be Zhuo Qingyang, who had been missing for a long time.

Zhuo Qingyang is a Confucian scholar of the Chu State, and has unparalleled prestige in the hearts of the scholars of the Chu State. The Qionglin Academy she created with her own hands broke the tradition of women not literate, which is astonishing.

It is impossible for anyone to create Qionglin Academy, and only Zhuo Qingyang can do this incredible thing in this world.

Qionglin Academy was once prosperous and existed for decades.

The existence of Qionglin Academy is against tradition, so it has always been in a rather difficult environment, and only with the maintenance of Zhuo Qingyang, the academy can survive.

After Zhuo Qingyang disappeared, Qionglin Academy soon closed its doors, and it is still in the cold.

Zhuo Qingyang was attacked and killed by a group of people that night. When Qi Ning found him, he was already seriously injured. Since then, the Taishan Beidou of the literary world has lost news.

The Shenhou Mansion also secretly investigated the matter, but to no avail.

As for the Ksitigarbha scroll that had always made Qi Ning feel full of doubts, it was under Zhuo Qingyang’s guidance and obtained from the back of a plaque in the academy. The scroll was full of mysteries, and Zhuo Qingyang was naturally full of mysteries.

Before that night, Qi Ning only thought that Zhuo Qingyang was a great scholar, but after that night, he realized that Zhuo Qingyang was also a skilled swordsman. .

The disappearance of Zhuo Qingyang made Qi Ning worried for a time. He even guessed whether Zhuo Qingyang was captured by the enemy, and his life and death were uncertain.

But now Zhuo Qingyang suddenly appeared in front of him, which shocked Qi Ning. Facing Zhuo Qingyang, he didn’t know what to say for a while.

Zhuo Qingyang stepped forward slowly, his face was rosy and his energy was very good, he seemed to be very healthy, with a slight smile on his face, he nodded slightly to Qi Ning, and said gently, “I know you have a lot to say. Say, don’t worry, sit down and talk slowly!” He raised his hand to signal Qi Ning to sit down, he acted casually, obviously the master here, Master Kongzang, was beside him, but Zhuo Qingyang seemed to be a hostile guest.

Qi Ning suppressed the shock in his heart, hesitated for a while, and finally sat down, still sitting opposite Grandmaster Kongzang, while Zhuo Qingyang sat down on the other side.

“Mr. Zhuo, why are you…why are you here?” Qi Ning calmed down and finally asked.

Zhuo Qingyang and Master Kongzang looked at each other, raised his hand and

stroked his beard: “Do you remember that night when assassins sneaked into the academy and the old man was injured by them?”

“Of course I do.” Qi Ning sighed, “That day That

night, Mr. suddenly disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown. I have always been worried.”

“Then do you know who the assassin was that night?”

Qi Ning frowned slightly, thinking that Jiang Suiyun also appeared in the academy that night, He asked in return, “But Jiang Suiyun’s people? Sir, do you know that Jiang Suiyun also sneaked into the academy that night?”

Zhuo Qingyang nodded slightly and said, “Jiang Suiyun is close to the old man’s purpose. From

the beginning, he came for the Ksitigarbha scroll.”

Qi Ning’s body trembled slightly, and Zhuo Qingyang mentioned the Ksitigarbha scroll straight to the point, without any ambiguity, but this surprised Qi Ning.

“It’s just that the assassin who sneaked in that night was not something that Jiang Suiyun could instruct.” Zhuo Qingyang said, “Jiang Suiyun has

a master secretly from Baiyun Island in the East China Sea…!”

“Mo Ying ?” Qi Ning blurted out.

Zhuo Qingyang nodded and said, “That’s right. Qi Guo had planned many years ago and secretly had contact with the Donghai family, and Mo Ying was the one who led the matter. Qi Guo was lingering in the cracks between the two great powers. Weak intelligence, always worried about being destroyed by the country, so the two countries can cause internal chaos, thereby weakening the strength of the two countries, and even causing the two countries to separate their own territories, that is naturally what Qi Guo dreams of.”

“Jiang Suiyun To be an official in Beijing was recommended by your husband to the imperial court.” Qi Ning frowned and said, “Did your husband know about Jiang

Suiyun

‘s plans after he came to Beijing, or did he know it long ago?” Zhuo Qingyang stroked his beard and smiled, “Actually, his

The plot was originally caused by this old man’s temptation.”

“Temptation?” Qi Ning was startled.

“Jiang’s father and son know that the Ksitigarbha scroll is in my hands, only because I mentioned it to them many years ago.” Zhuo Qingyang thought for a while before saying, “That should have happened more than ten years ago. That year, I went to the East China Sea and stayed at the Jiang family for a few days, and received a warm reception from Jiang Mantian.”

Qi Ning knew for a long time that Zhuo Qingyang had a deep connection with the Donghai Jiang family, and Jiang Suiyun received Zhuo Qingyang when he was young. Qingyang’s advice.

“Jiang Mantian’s drinking capacity is very good. I was drinking with him one night, and we were all very drunk.” Zhuo Qingyang said: “That is, that night, I told about the Tibetan scroll.”

Qi Ning looked blank .

Master Zang glanced at Master Kongzang and saw that Master Kongzang clasped his hands together, and his spirit was calm.

“So when Mo Ying learned from them that the Ksitigarbha scroll was in my hands, he would definitely try to take it away.” Zhuo Qingyang said, “After a lapse of more than ten years, as I planned back then, Mo Ying really did. It’s

shot.”

Qi Ning was a little confused, but he felt that there was only an extremely complicated plan in the middle, and asked: “Sir, what you mean is that you went to the East China Sea more than ten years ago and leaked secrets while drunk. Be careful, but… intentionally?”

Zhuo Qingyang nodded slightly: “At that time, I already knew that the Jiang family had a secret relationship with Donghai Moying, so I vaguely disclosed the matter of the Ksitigarbha scroll. , although I didn’t say it directly, but with Jiang Mantian’s agility, I can naturally guess that what I’m talking about is the Ksitigarbha scroll.”

“Sir, do you want to tell Mo Ying the whereabouts of the Ksitigarbha scroll through the Jiang family?” Qi Ning vaguely understood, but immediately shook his head and said, “It’s not Mo Ying, it’s… the owner of the East Sea Island!”

Zhuo Qingyang With a slight smile, Qi Ning was even more astonished: “Why does Mr. Jiang think that the Jiang family will tell Mo Ying? Moreover, Mr. Xian disclosed this information more than ten years ago, but why did Mo Ying not start until last year?” What is the purpose of Ying to obtain the Ksitigarbha scroll?”

“Do you know the origin of the Ksitigarbha scroll?” Zhuo Qingyang stared at Qi Ning and asked.

Qi Ning immediately remembered that Linghu Xu, the prime minister of Eastern Qi, had mentioned the origin of the Ksitigarbha scroll to himself when he was envoy to Eastern Qi. He knew that Zhuo Qingyang and Master Kongzang were both the next-level wise men today. In front of these two people, there is no need to play tricks. He nodded slightly and said, “When I was in Dongqi, I heard Linghu Xu, the prime minister of Dongqi, mention it. Sir, Linghu Xu seems to be old friends with you!”

Zhuo Qingyang smiled: “He and I went out to the same school back then, and they are brothers and sisters.”

“He told me that this Tibetan scroll was written by Duckweed, a genius who wrote four volumes for the sake of heaven, earth, people and ghosts. The origin of the four volumes is closely related to the Hetu Luoshu

, which penetrates into the cycle of heaven and earth, and has insight into the past and the future.” Qi Ning said: “The duckweed layman once boasted that the number of days in this earth can be compared to the profound meaning of King Wen’s gossip. The whereabouts of the Ksitigarbum Book of Heaven are hidden in the

Ksitigarbha scroll.” Zhuo Qingyang smiled and said, “Then what secrets can you discover after you get the Ksitigarbha scroll?”

“This…!” Qi Ning With a wry smile, he said, “Sir, the Ksitigarbha scroll is profound and difficult to understand. Whether it really contains the whereabouts of the Ksitigarbha Book, I haven’t seen it at all.”

“Because there was never any mention of the Ksitigarbha Book.” Zhuo Qingyang sighed: “Whether the Book of Earth Stores exists in the world is still a huge mystery. Although it is said that the Duckweed layman wrote four volumes, no one has seen any of the four volumes of Heaven, Earth, Humans and Ghosts. , not to mention that someone knows its whereabouts.”

Qi Ning was taken aback and said: “Then… there is no whereabouts of the Book of Earth Store in there?”

“Whether there is a Book of Heaven in the world is a question, so how can we point out the book’s location in the scroll?” Zhuo Qingyang said with a smile, “Even when I told Jiang Mantian back then, I never mentioned the Book of Heaven in the Earth’s possession. ……!”

“So it is.” Qi Ning sighed: “Since the whereabouts of the Book of Heaven are not mentioned in the

Ksitigarbha scroll, why does Linghu Xu have to inform that there are clues there?” Zhuo Qingyang said: “Because he was worried that you couldn’t see the mystery of the Ksitigarbha scroll for a while and would ignore it, so he told you that you could use the scroll to find the Ksitigarbha Book of Heaven. I originally hoped that you would think that the Ksitigarbha scroll was a priceless treasure and should be properly protected.”

Qi Ning stunned: “He was afraid that I would abandon the

Ksitigarbha

scroll, so he made up a story to deceive me?” Zhuo Qingyang sighed: “Junior Brother Linghu is cautious by nature, although I know you will never do that, but Junior Brother Linghu is prudent by nature.

Don’t worry.”

“Wait a minute.” Qi Ning raised his hand and thought of the key point: “The Ksitigarbha scroll was instructed by Mr. to find it, and handed it over to me for safekeeping. Linghu Xu is far away in Dongqi, so how do you know this? What happened? And also made up a story?” Staring into Zhuo Qingyang’s eyes, he felt more and more that there was a mystery in it: “Could it be that Mister has always been in contact with Linghu Xu?” com thought of something: “Sir…. Did you intentionally hand the Ksitigarbha scroll into my hands?”

“Although there is no mention of the whereabouts of the Book of Heaven in the Ksitigarbha scroll, it is indeed from the monk Duckweed. There is no doubt about it.” Zhuo Qingyang said: “It is not a false statement to say that it is a priceless treasure.” Speaking of which, he slowly stretched out a hand, and when he reached Qi Ning’s eyelids, he slowly When he opened his hand, Qi Ning didn’t know what Zhuo Qingyang wanted to do. He looked down and saw Zhuo Qingyang’s hand, but there was a yellow leaf, the leaf was not big, it looked like a very ordinary thin leaf , Qi Ning was a little strange, thinking to himself, what is Zhuo Qingyang doing with a leaf in his palm?

But soon he felt that something was wrong. At first glance, the leaf seemed to be a yellow leaf picked up from the forest, but under the light, the color was obviously wrong, exuding a faint halo, and there was actually a kind of metal like texture.

At this moment, Master Kongzang suddenly stretched out his hand and spread out his hand. There was also a leaf in the palm of his hand. The shape was almost identical to the leaf in Zhuo Qingyang’s palm, but the color was pure white. He has a lot of knowledge, but he has never seen white leaves.

One yellow and one white, two leaves, Qi Ning was stunned for a while, not knowing why.
