On the warship on the coast of the East China Sea.
It was noon.
"What? The Demon Slaying Conference? " In the cabin, Matsumoto Takeyoshi, who was dressed in gray, was so shocked by the news that his expression changed!
"Yes, my Lord," said the ninja in white, who was kneeling on one knee in front of Matsumoto Takeyoshi with a saber on his back and a veil covering his face.
"Is this news true?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked the ninja.
"I've checked it from many sources, and it's absolutely true." The ninja in white raised his head and replied, "Now, this matter has spread all over the world, and everyone knows about it."
"When will this Demon Slaying Conference begin, and where will it be held?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked with a frown.
"Ten days later, at Ganlu Temple, Feixue Peak, Tibet," the ninja in white replied.
"Which master subdued Ye Fan?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked again.
"Golden Roc Fawang's junior brother, the abbot of Ganlu Temple, Gesang Doji," the ninja in white replied.
"Gesang Doji?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi muttered to himself as he searched for the name in his mind.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi had long memorized the masters of the Great Ming Dynasty's cultivation base. However, the name Gesang Doji was not on the list of masters.
"Is this person's cultivation base very high? He can subdue Ye Fan? "Matsumoto Takeyoshi looked up at the ninja in white.
"According to my investigation, this Gesang Doji's cultivation base is average, and there's nothing extraordinary about him," the ninja in white replied. "The reason he was able to subdue Mr. Ye was because of a treasure in his hands."
"Treasure? What treasure? "Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked.
"The Golden Buddha Treasure Bowl," the ninja replied.
"The Golden Buddha Treasure Bowl? You mean the Golden Buddha Treasure Bowl, one of the three secret weapons in Tibet? "Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked with a frown.
"That's right," the ninja replied.
"No wonder." Matsumoto Takeyoshi nodded slowly.
It was said that the Golden Buddha Precious Alms Bowl was carved with golden Buddha statues and embedded with relics. Its magic power was boundless and could subdue ten thousand demons. As the saying goes, everything has its vanquisher. Ye Fan had fallen into the demonic path, so he was naturally no match for the Golden Alms Bowl.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi waved his hand and said to the Ninja in white, "I understand. You can go and rest now."
"This subordinate will take his leave." The white-clothed ninja bowed his head to Matsumoto Takeyoshi and retreated.
"Who would have thought that the arrogant and unruly Ye Fan would actually be defeated by a nobody." After the ninja in white left, Matsumoto Takeyoshi sat on the futon and poured tea as he spoke to the man in white standing behind him.
"The Golden Buddha Treasure Bowl is really powerful." The man in white said with a frown.
"Buddhism is the nemesis of demons. Since he has fallen into the demonic path, naturally he is no match for the Golden Alms Bowl." Matsumoto Takeyoshi put down the teapot and said, "What I am interested in is why Ye Fan went to Mount Everest in Tibet."
As he spoke, he lifted the teacup to his mouth and gently blew on it.
"What do you mean..." The man in white asked.
He seemed to understand Matsumoto Takeyoshi's meaning.
"If I didn't guess wrong, he must have found the trace of the Divine Cauldron on Mount Everest. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone there." Matsumoto Takeyoshi took a sip of tea and said.
The man in white slowly nodded.
Ye Fan only had one thing to do now, and that was to find the Divine Cauldron.
Since he appeared in Mount Everest, he must have found the clue of the Divine Cauldron.
"Mr. Matsumoto, what are we going to do now?" The man in white asked Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
"I would like to see this Demon Slaying Conference with my own eyes." Matsumoto Takeyoshi put down the teacup, stood up from the futon, and stretched lazily.
"Are you going to Tibet in person?" The man in white asked Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
"That's what I was thinking." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said. He walked slowly to the window of the berth cabin, stretched out his hand to open the porthole, and looked out.
"This is too dangerous. I hope you will think twice." The man in white said to Matsumoto Takeyoshi, "The news of the Demon Slaying Conference has spread all over Jianghu. Eldritch's enemies in his last life will inevitably gather at the Sweet Dew Temple. Those who have a grudge against Eldritch must be top masters with profound cultivation. In addition, Yagyuu Ryūnosuke is also likely to go there. Black and white are in a mess. If you go there rashly, I'm afraid it will be bad for you."
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Matsumoto Takeyoshi looked out of the porthole at the vast sea and said with a smile, "Since Eldritch's enemies will gather at the Sweet Dew Temple, I have to go and have a look. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. In this Demon Slaying Conference, we may be able to make friends with some top masters who have a grudge against Eldritch, so that they can be of use to me in the future. As for Yagyuu Ryūnosuke, he may appear, but he will definitely not fight with me. You know, Tibet is an important place for Buddhism. No matter how stupid he is, he will not mess around in the holy land of other countries. "
Matsumoto Takeyoshi's words made the man in white admire him.
This person was not only meticulous in thinking and reasoning, but also could seize the opportunity that was beneficial to him in any situation and decisively take action!
With this kind of wisdom, it would be difficult for him not to achieve great things!
"On the other hand, we also have to take this opportunity to find the trace of the sacred tripod on Mount Everest, and take action before others find it." Matsumoto Takeyoshi continued.
"This matter can be handed over to others. Why do you have to go personally?" The man in white said.
"There is an old saying in the Great Ming Dynasty, which is to be polite to the wise." Matsumoto Takeyoshi turned around with a smile and looked at the man in white. "I will personally recruit the wise to show my sincerity."
"In that case, I can only accompany you." The man in white said.
"This time, you stay here and preside over the overall situation with Green Emissary. I will ask someone else to accompany me." Matsumoto Takeyoshi smiled at the man in white.
"You want me to stay on this warship?" The man in white asked Matsumoto Takeyoshi doubtfully.
"You now have the power of a hundred demons in your body. When you arrive at the Sweet Dew Temple, your cultivation will be affected by the golden alms bowl. You will not be able to protect me, but will be disturbed." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said as he sat back on the futon. "This place is very important, and it is also the hub. I cannot be without my own people. You and Green Emissary are my most trusted people.
"But in this way, who will be responsible for your safety?" The man in white frowned and asked Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
For many years, he had been Matsumoto Takeyoshi's personal bodyguard, following him day and night. Now that Matsumoto Takeyoshi wanted to leave his protection, this made him a little worried about Matsumoto Takeyoshi's safety.
"This time I will bring two people with me." Matsumoto Takeyoshi picked up the teacup and slowly said, "Miyamoto Akiichi, Sasaki."
Hearing these two names, the man in white nodded slightly.
These two people were the first group of masters that Matsumoto Takeyoshi had recruited. Their cultivation was very high, and they were loyal. They did things cleanly and never sloppily. The things they did later proved their strength.
"Sasaki's sword skills are outstanding, and he was born with great strength. Miyamoto Akiichi's cultivation is exquisite, and his archery is unparalleled." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said calmly as he played with the teacup in his hand. "Among all the masters, only their abilities will not be affected by the golden alms bowl. They are the most suitable to accompany me to Tibet."
In the brightly lit Crown Prince Palace, the Crown Prince in a golden robe was holding a red brush and reading a mountain of memorials.
Since the last time he had killed most of the corrupt officials, he had ordered the selection of talents from all over the country and promoted officials with both ability and integrity to support the country.
During the time when most of the positions in the court were vacant, all the memorials were read by him alone. He often stayed up most of the night.
"Your Highness, something has happened." An old eunuch holding a horsetail whisk hurriedly walked in from outside the palace door and came to the Crown Prince's desk.
"What happened to make you so anxious?" The Crown Prince looked up at the old eunuch and asked with a smile as he continued to read the memorials.
"Something has happened to Ye Fan," the old eunuch said.
These words made the Crown Prince, who was bent over the desk and writing, frown instantly and stop writing.
"Something has happened to Ye Fan? What happened? "The Crown Prince put the red brush on the brush holder and asked anxiously.
"He went to Tibet to search for the cauldron according to Your Highness's instructions, but he was unexpectedly restrained by the monks there." As the old eunuch spoke, he told the Crown Prince about how Ye Fan was trapped by the Golden Buddha Treasure Bowl, and how Gesang Dorj would hold a Demon Slaying Conference in ten days and kill Ye Fan, who was the reincarnation of Eldritch.
Pa!
After the Crown Prince heard this, he slammed the table and stood up!
"How dare you evil monks touch my people!" The Crown Prince shouted angrily. "What do they want to do? Do they want to rebel? "
"They are not targeting Your Highness, but Eldritch," the old eunuch said in a low voice.
"I don't care about the Eldritch of the first lunar month," the Crown Prince shouted. "He is a member of the Ye family in this life. He is my person. Whoever dares to touch him is going against me!"
The old eunuch lowered his head and did not speak.
"Pass down my verbal order. Have that evil monk release him immediately. Otherwise, he will be executed without mercy!" the Crown Prince said to the old eunuch.
"Your Highness, please calm down. In my opinion, this matter is not that simple," the old eunuch said respectfully to the Crown Prince. "Almost all the people in Tibet believe in Buddhism, and the one who acted was Dharmaraja's junior brother. Moreover, this time, they are using the name of the Demon Slaying Conference. The imperial court cannot interfere at all. After all, Ye Fan has already become a demon. What they are doing is completely reasonable and in line with the will of the people. If Your Highness really interferes, it will be difficult to convince the people. Secondly, it will expose the relationship between Ye Fan and Your Highness. Thirdly, it may cause a mass uprising. "
After the Crown Prince heard this, he frowned and did not speak.
The old eunuch's words were reasonable, and he could not refute them.
Currently, the four countries were gathering their forces and eyeing the Great Ming Dynasty covetously. War could break out at any moment. If something happened in Tibet, it would be one disaster after another.
"According to what you said, we can only watch as he is killed by that evil monk?" the Crown Prince asked the old eunuch.
"This matter needs to be considered at length," the old eunuch replied.
"Considered at length?" the Crown Prince asked. The Crown Prince retorted. "In another ten days, Ye Fan will be killed by that evil monk. Tell me, how do you think we should make a long-term plan?"
The old eunuch lowered his head and did not speak.
"Go and prepare. Within ten days, I want to be at Sweet Dew Temple," the Crown Prince ordered the old eunuch. "Bring many experts and disguise them. Prepare to snatch him."
"But Your Highness …" the old eunuch was about to persuade the Crown Prince.
"Do as I say," the Crown Prince interrupted the old eunuch. His voice was dignified without being angry.
"Yes," the old eunuch replied with his head lowered.
He did not think that the Crown Prince would put himself in danger for someone he had only met once.
