"Eh, Your Majesty, General Li has infiltrated the Heavenly Dragon Sect and is thinking of a way to bring back a bowl of Jade Lake Holy Water for Divine Doctor Sun!"
In the Sweet Dew Hall, after hearing Li Er's order, Zhao Song said with some difficulty.
Not too long ago, Li Er had given Li Junxian a secret mission. He was to find a way to obtain the Jade Lake Holy Water that the people of the Heavenly Dragon Sect were going crazy over and deliver it to the Great Tang Alliance Clinic for Sun Simiao to study. However, only the official disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect had the qualifications to obtain the Yaochi Holy Water. Moreover, this kind of 'elixir' that could cure all kinds of illnesses had to be drunk on the spot in order to maintain the best medicinal effect. Therefore, no matter how much money one had, one would not be able to buy a bottle of Yaochi Holy Water. This was also one of the main reasons why those rich merchants and nobles fought to join the Heavenly Dragon Sect!
In order to complete Li Er's Saint Mandate and obtain the Jade Lake Holy Water, Li Junxian could only infiltrate the 'enemy camp' and become a spy!
"Oh! We actually forgot about this! "
Li Er slapped his head in understanding and asked, "Has Li Junxian already infiltrated the Heavenly Dragon Sect?"
Zhao Song clasped his hands and replied, "Your Majesty, General Li has already infiltrated the Heavenly Dragon Sect, but according to the latest news he sent back, he is only an outer sect disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect and does not have the right to obtain the Jade Lake Holy Water!"
"Outer sect disciple? What does that mean? "
Li Er frowned in confusion.
Zhao Song hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Dragon Sect did not have an outer sect disciple or inner sect disciple in the past, but as more and more people wanted to join the Heavenly Dragon Sect, they began to divide into inner and outer sect disciples!"
"Then what's the difference between inner sect disciples and outer sect disciples? How can an outer sect disciple become an inner sect disciple? "
Li Er asked with a frown.
Zhao Song replied, "Your Majesty, in the Heavenly Dragon Sect, only inner sect disciples can enjoy the Jade Lake Holy Water once every three days. Outer sect disciples can only enjoy it once every half a month! As for how an outer sect disciple can become an inner sect disciple, I heard that the Heavenly Dragon Sect has a judge in charge of this matter. As long as you pay enough money, you can become an inner sect disciple at any time! If you don't have the money, you can only slowly become an inner sect disciple by completing missions! "
"Hmph! A small sect like the Heavenly Dragon Sect is actually robbing the people of their wealth. Their greed is insatiable, and they have accumulated so much wealth. What are they trying to achieve? "
Li Er coldly snorted. "Find a way to get in touch with Li Junxian and have him work with Liu Dewei. Today, we must capture all the important members of the Heavenly Dragon Sect!"
Zhao Song bowed and said, "This old servant obeys!"
"You must also pay attention to the investigation of the officials and eunuchs. I don't want Chang 'an to be in chaos!"
Li Er added.
"Here!"
Zhao Song's heart trembled as he replied.
…
"Quick! Surround the entire Heavenly Dragon Temple. Don't let anyone escape! "
At 4 PM, Liu Dewei led a group of Supreme Court runners and 2,000 Imperial Army soldiers to the Heavenly Dragon Temple in Xinfeng County. Liu Dewei waved his hand and said coldly.
"Here!"
More than two thousand soldiers and runners answered in unison, then quickly divided into two groups and surrounded the newly renovated Heavenly Dragon Temple.
"Eh? Why would the army of the Imperial Court surround the Heavenly Dragon Temple? "
"That's right! This Heavenly Dragon Temple has Master Du E, the reincarnation of a Buddha. Why are these soldiers surrounding the Heavenly Dragon Temple? This is disrespect to the Buddha! "
"That's right! Why are you surrounding the Heavenly Dragon Temple? You will suffer the wrath of the heavens! "
Surprisingly, when the imperial army surrounded the Heavenly Dragon Temple, the first to stand up was not the monks of the Heavenly Dragon Temple, but the people outside the temple, or rather, the followers of the Heavenly Dragon Sect!
If it was in the past, they would definitely not have dared to speak up against the imperial army. However, at this moment, it was as if they were possessed. In their hearts, the Heavenly Dragon Sect was their number one priority. They were willing to die for their beliefs!
Liu Dewei frowned and shouted, "This official is Liu Dewei of the Supreme Court. Du E, the monk of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, used secular tricks to confuse the people and claimed to be the reincarnation of a Buddha. He lured countless people to join the Heavenly Dragon Sect. His intentions are punishable and the evidence is irrefutable. Today, this official is under the orders of the emperor to capture Du E and the head of the Heavenly Dragon Sect!"
Hearing this, the people outside the Heavenly Dragon Temple were silent for a moment. Then, someone raised a question, "What secular tricks? Master Du E used immortal magic. He is the reincarnation of a Buddha. Your Excellency, you can't be disrespectful to the Buddha! "
"That's right! No one can be disrespectful to the Buddha! Not even the imperial court! "
"Yes, yes, yes! Withdraw immediately! "
The people who were silent for a moment soon became a pot of porridge. Liu Dewei, who was at the center of the storm of public opinion, frowned deeply at this moment. Only when he experienced it himself could he understand the horror of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. For the imperial court, for the imperial power, the religious power must not be too great. Otherwise, there would be a situation like this, where the people openly went against the imperial court in order to protect their faith and religion!
Now, they were just talking, but who knew if they would use knives in the future? Directly raise a rebellion?
"Silence!"
Liu Dewei's face darkened and shouted with all his strength, "Whether Du E of the Heavenly Dragon Sect is using secular tricks to deceive the people, this official already has conclusive evidence. After he is arrested and brought to justice, there will be someone who will go to court with him. At that time, if he is really wronged, this official will naturally let him go. Now that the Supreme Court is handling the case, all unrelated people must stay away. Otherwise, don't blame this official for the crime of disturbing the public order!"
Liu Dewei's face was stern and his voice was low. His shout frightened many people. At this moment, a carriage from the Wonderful Taste Pavilion drove over. Liu Dewei glanced at it and saw the curtain open. Li Tai, Sun Zifan, Di Zhixun, and Yuchi Baolin came out of the carriage.
Liu Dewei quickly went up to them and asked, "Your Highness, why are you here?"
Li Tai smiled and said, "This Prince expected that someone would obstruct Minister Liu from handling the case, so I specially came here. I can take advantage of today's opportunity to expose Du E's deceit and let the people see the true face of the fake Buddha!"
Liu Dewei's eyes lit up and he said with surprise, "Oh? Your Highness is already prepared? "
If he could directly let the people see Du E's deceit, it would be the best for Liu Dewei. After all, in many cases, blindly using force would not solve the problem.
Li Tai smiled confidently and said, "Yes! This Prince is ready! "
After that, he turned and took out an iron cylindrical object from the carriage. If the people present were from the Han Village or Plum Village, they would definitely recognize this object. That's right, this object was a loudspeaker! The workshop's newest secret product!
"Baolin, help me hold the loudspeaker in a while. Zhixun, Zifan, bring the things and come with me. Today, we will let these people who have been deceived wake up!"
Li Tai waved his hand and arranged.
"Yes! Okay! "
Everyone answered and came to the place where Liu Dewei was standing earlier.
Yuchi Baolin placed one end of the loudspeaker next to Li Tai's mouth. Seeing that the people in front of him were looking at him and talking about him, Li Tai coughed softly and said, "Cough, cough! Silence! Silence! "
From the calm tone of the words, one could tell that Li Tai was not shouting at the top of his voice. It was just like how he usually talked to people. However, the volume of this sentence was much louder than that of other people shouting at the top of their lungs. It really shocked the hundred people in Tian Long Temple.
"Oh my! Who is this? Why is his voice so loud? "
"This is His Highness Prince Wei. I have seen him in Chang 'an City!"
"Why is His Highness Prince Wei's voice so loud? It seems that he did not use much strength! "
"Could it be that His Highness Prince Wei knows how to use celestial arts like Master Du E?"
"Oh my god! His Highness Prince Wei is also an immortal? "
The people could not help but talk about it. Li Tai continued to shout into the loudspeaker, "Okay! Everyone was silent! I am the current Prince Wei. The reason why my voice is so loud may be that I know how to use celestial arts. Haha! Coincidentally, apart from this, I also know other Celestial Arts. Watch carefully! "
Li Tai did not care about the people's exclamations. Instead, he nodded at Di Zhixun. Di Zhixun hurriedly handed over a transparent glass bottle, which was filled with crystal clear water. Li Tai took it with one hand. Then, he took a square glass cup from Sun Zifan. Then, he looked at the people and said,
"I think many people have seen this celestial art. Today, I will let you see it again!"
After that, Li Tai asked Di Zhixun to help him open the bottle cap. Then, under the eyes of the people, he slowly tilted the glass bottle. The crystal clear water slowly flowed into the glass cup below. However, the moment the liquid water touched the glass cup, it quickly turned into ice crystals!
The surrounding people could not help but exclaim, "Celestial art! This must be a celestial art! "
"His Highness Prince Wei is actually the same as Master Du E. They are both celestial beings!"
"Other than turning water into ice, His Highness Prince Wei can also make his voice very loud. It feels like His Highness' celestial art is even more powerful than Du E's!"
Such a simple trick made the people look at Li Tai with a feverish gaze. This made Li Tai somewhat worried. In his opinion, these people were simply too easy to 'fool'!
"Silence! Everyone, silence! "
After clearing his throat, Li Tai loudly said, "That's right.
"The reason why This Prince can amplify my voice by more than ten times is not because This Prince knows any celestial art, but because This Prince has learned engineering and knows how to create tools that can amplify a person's voice by more than ten times. Similarly, This Prince used Du E's celestial art today not because This Prince is a celestial being, but because This Prince knows engineering and knows that the celestial art is not a celestial art. It is just a trick that Du E specially prepared to trick the people into joining the Dragon Cult!
This Prince is only a mortal, not a celestial being. Similarly, Du E is only a quack, not a celestial being! The celestial art he showed is just a trick to confuse the masses! Everyone, don't fall for Du E's trick just because of some appearances! "
"What? These are not celestial arts? "
"Master Du E is not the reincarnation of a celestial being? How is that possible? "
"Have we all been deceived by the Dragon Cult?"
Hearing this, the commoners couldn't help but widen their eyes. They found it hard to accept. After all, Li Tai's words had completely destroyed the beliefs in their hearts. The collapse of their beliefs wasn't something that could be recovered in a short period of time!
"Liu Siqing, quickly go in and search!"
While the people were in a daze, Li Tai gave Liu Dewei a look and said in a low voice.
This was the first time Liu Dewei had seen this kind of technique with his own eyes. He was still in a daze. At this moment, when he heard Li Zexuan's reminder, he quickly recovered and said, "Your Highness's reminder is right! This official will send someone in to search! "
After that, he waved his hand to the left and right and decisively ordered, "Go in and search! Capture Du E and the Dragon Head of the Dragon Cult! "
"Yes!"
Two groups of soldiers immediately filed in from the main entrance of the Tian Long Temple. Now, no one jumped out to oppose. At this moment, the people were still in a daze!
"Get out! Stand properly! Be honest! "
"Stand here! Line up! "
After about a quarter of an hour, the two groups of soldiers who had entered the Tian Long Temple earlier came out with some men and women whose hands and feet were tied.
"Report!"
"Liu Siqing! The Venerable Shakya Du E and the mysterious Dragon Head of the Dragon Cult are not in the Tian Long Temple! We have searched every place in the temple and did not see any trace of them! "
The leader of the soldiers walked to Liu Dewei and cupped his fists.
"They must have expected the imperial court to come here in advance, or received the news in advance and left the Tian Long Temple before us!"
Liu Dewei frowned when he heard this.
At this moment, a man whose hands and feet were tied suddenly ran out from the group of captured disciples and ran straight toward Li Tai.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Liu Dewei was very anxious. He never thought that someone would choose this time to launch an attack. Moreover, it was against Li Tai, who had a special status. He wanted to jump over and block the attack for Li Tai, but due to his age, his hands and feet were not agile enough, so he gave up.
Li Tai was also surprised. Although he was younger than Liu Dewei, his physique and physical fitness were still there. This meant that his reaction time was not as fast. Seeing that the person was about to crash into him, Li Tai's heart was in a panic. However, when he saw the face of the person in front of him, his heart instantly calmed down.
"Qingque!"
Yuchi Baolin was very fast. When the person was about to crash into Li Tai, he reached out and pulled Li Tai to the side. Li Tai immediately 'dodged'.
However, that person still managed to break out of the 'encirclement'. However, without anyone noticing, he secretly stuffed a piece of paper into Li Tai's hand.
"Impudent! Someone dares to offend His Highness? Men, arrest him! "
Liu Dewei hastily ordered.
Li Tai caught a glimpse of Liu Dewei's faintly discernible smile and understood that Liu Dewei also knew the man's true identity.
He looked at the people and used the loudspeaker to shout, "Today, you have all seen that Du E's immortal arts are just tricks to deceive people. Now, Du E and the Dragon Head of the Heavenly Dragon Sect have fled in fear of punishment, what does this prove? It proves that they have a guilty conscience. If they were the reincarnations of gods and Buddhas, how could they have a guilty conscience? So this king hopes that when you return, you will tell each other what happened today. Don't let others be deceived by the Dragon Sect again! "
