Chapter 87 The Big Brother Never Disappoints
Two days later, Taoist Master Tianmen of the Taishan Sect arrived with his fellow disciples Tiansong and Tianbai, and his disciples Jianchu, Chi Baicheng and others.

Afterwards, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Jie Feng, came with two eight-bag elders.

Immediately afterwards, Hengshan Sanding led his disciples to Hengshan County.

You should know that Master Dingxian seldom leaves the nunnery in normal times. This time, after receiving the invitation from the Hengshan School, he actually came in person, which shows how much he values ​​this matter.

Outside Hengshan County, Yu Canghai, the master of Songfeng Temple of Qingcheng Sect, was sitting together with his disciples to rest. His expression was extremely gloomy, and if there had not been so many disciples around, he would have started cursing.

The closer I got to Mount Hengshan, the more suffocated I felt.

Hengshan School, ah, Hengshan School!
You have no moral principles!
He now felt like a joke. If he had known in advance that Hengshan would produce a third place winner who was of the same year as Yang Yongxiu from Sichuan, how could he have snatched the "Sword Manual of Exorcism"? !

Don’t you see how comfortable Emei is living now!
This is a case of what you think coming true. Just as I was talking about Emei, a strange group of Buddhist laymen and Taoists came over.

The leader was an old monk, wearing a cassock that had faded with age. He exuded a tranquil aura. He was none other than the head of the Emei Sect, Master Jin Guang.

The Taoist priest next to Master Jin Guang had a long beard, a black cloth wrapped around his head, and looked relaxed and contented. He was the leader of the Emei Taoist sect, Taoist Yuehe. The Four Heroes of Emei, led by Taoist Songwen, were his disciples.

"Amitabha, I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been lately, Master Yu?" Master Jin Guang put his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name aloud, and greeted gently.

"Thank you for your concern, Master. I am fine." Abbot Yu bowed and responded in a calm tone.

But I laughed in my heart, you are so good, Master Jin Guang, you usually stay at the Golden Summit of Emei Mountain and never come out, but when someone else won the third place in the imperial examination, you rushed all the way from Sichuan to Huguang.

What martial arts master? He is nothing but a flatterer!

"Master Yu, if you have time, let's have tea together." Taoist Yuehe smiled and invited.

"Okay." Yu Canghai responded.

Just then, a strange noise came from behind.

Master Jin Guang and Taoist Yue He looked up. Yu Canghai took a step forward to block their sight and said, "One of my disciples was injured by robbers on the road. It may be that the wound is itchy and he can't stand it."

"So that's how it is. I made some healing powder myself, which has an anti-itching effect. If Master Yu doesn't mind, you can give it to me." Master Jin Guang took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Canghai.

"Thank you, Master!" Yu Canghai took the small porcelain bottle but showed no intention of moving it.

Seeing this, Master Jin Guang smiled and said to Taoist Yue He, "Daoyou, let's go directly into the city and rest!"

"Very good." Taoist Yuehe nodded.

So, the people from the Emei Sect bowed to Yu Canghai and walked towards Hengshan County.

Yu Canghai just breathed a sigh of relief and signaled a disciple to come in and properly "entertain" the couple who made the noise.

However, at this moment, another group of people came.

Leading the group was a gorgeous woman with a pretty face and a graceful figure, her hair atop a bun that looked like a dark cloud and her eyebrows like a crescent moon.

This person is none other than the leader of Dian Cang Sect, Liu Yizi, known as the 'Fanghua of Erhai Lake'. Behind him are Li Yong and Yang Tao, known as the 'Dian Cang Twin Swords, with sword energy soaring to the sky', and a dozen or so disciples wielding swords.

"Master Yu!"

"Master Liu."

The two men bowed to each other. Liu Yizi saw Yu Canghai standing still with a strange look on his face. She felt that the Qingcheng Sect was a little overbearing as it monopolized this temple.

However, the Dian Cang Sect and the Qingcheng Sect were only nodding acquaintances, so Liu Yizi had no intention of forcing it, but led his disciples to continue moving forward.

Yu Canghai looked back at his disciples and said through gritted teeth: "Use some means, there must be an explanation today!" "Yes, Master." The disciples immediately took the order and turned to enter the temple.

With the arrival of Shaolin Abbot Master Fangzheng and a group of eminent monks, all the prominent figures in the righteous martial arts world were present. It was an unprecedented grand occasion and scene in the martial arts world!

In Hengshan County, if you throw a brick randomly, seven out of ten people will be hit by martial artists.

These people are not short of money and they drink and eat meat. After drinking, they start fighting if they have a disagreement.

Then Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng discovered that there were not enough disciples in the Hengshan Sect.

In order to maintain public order, the two had to ask for help from the other four Yues. Zuo Lengchan, Yue Buqun, Tianmen Taoist, and Master Dingxian all responded.

Therefore, the Shaolin abbot and the Wudang leader saw for the first time the Five Mountains Sword Sects were so united, and they couldn't help but feel hesitant.

The Five Mountains Sword Sect.
Could it be that the merger was really successful in the hands of that third place winner?!

At the same time, Ou Zanghua's carriage took a detour into Hengyang City. This was Lu Fang's idea. Ou Zanghua wanted to refuse, but seeing Lu Fang's determined look, it was not easy to break up with him. After all, it would only delay him for one more day.

After entering Hengyang City, Lu Fang went straight to the Hengyang government office. Hengyang prefect Yi Bolin was still drinking tea and writing when he heard his legal advisor trotting in and saying that an imperial edict had arrived.

Yi Bailin was stunned. He had been the prefect of Hengyang for five years, but this was the first time he received an imperial edict.

He immediately stood up and said, "Hurry up and clean up the government office, move out the flowers I planted in the backyard, and then wash the fruits."

"Yes!" The master responded and immediately turned around to prepare.

Yi Bolin returned to his room, changed out of his casual clothes and put on his red official uniform of the fourth rank.

When he arrived at the lobby of the government office, he saw a eunuch wearing a black lacquered gauze hat and a medium-length collared robe sitting in the guest seat, and next to him was Ou Zanghua.

Seeing Ou Zanghua smiling at him, Yi Bolin immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this imperial decree was not of a punitive nature.

With the help of the yamen runners, everything was ready.

Lu Fang opened a wooden box and took out a piece of brocade fabric with auspicious clouds and cranes on the pattern, which was very magnificent.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

"Long live my emperor!"

Under the leadership of Yi Bolin, everyone in the Hengyang government office knelt down, including Ou Zanghua.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Here is a loyal and upright minister, Ou Zanghua, who is extremely talented and brilliant in writing. I am pleased with him. I hereby allow Ou Zanghua to return to his hometown to visit his relatives with the ceremonial guard of the Imperial Inspector. The prefect of Hengyang shall assist him and shall not be negligent. I decree this!"

When Yi Bolin heard the imperial edict, he knew that it was the emperor's personal opinion and had nothing to do with the cabinet, and he could choose to disobey it.

Of course, you have to bear the consequences yourself.

But after hearing the content, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After all this time of trying to figure it out, he was just a tool?
He glanced at Ou Zanghua beside him. As expected, the young man was so moved that he didn't even look up. He must be afraid of being seen with tears in his eyes!
According to the requirements of the "Great Ming Code", inspectors could only bring a small number of followers when traveling. After arriving at the place, the local government was responsible for the ceremonial guard and security.

There's nothing we can do. Who told our ancestors, Taizu and Taizong, to be thrifty and frugal?
"Your humble servant receives the imperial edict!" After kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, Yi Bolin took the imperial edict with both hands and stood up.

He looked at Ou Zanghua and said gently, "Jingyu, congratulations on being named the third place in the imperial examination."

"Thank you, Lord Yi. If it weren't for your cultivation and the teacher's teaching, Jingyu wouldn't have achieved what he has today." Ou Zanghua quickly bowed.

"Hahaha, his majesty admires you very much. In the future, you must be diligent in state affairs and stop playing around." Yi Bailin patted Ou Zanghua's arm and admonished him like an elder.

Ou Zanghua smiled, because the playfulness mentioned by Yi Bolin refers to writing operas and practicing martial arts.
