Chapter 94 I am useful to the Ming Dynasty!

Outside the setting sun, thousands of crows fly and water flows around the lonely village.

On the mountain road outside Hengshan County, Mu Gaofeng, the camel from the northern part of the Saibei region, holding a camel sword, looked around in panic and shouted, "Come out! I see you!"

"Kill me if you have the guts! Do you think it's fun to treat me like a dog?!"

"Come out!"

Following Mu Gaofeng's shouts, figures emerged from the woods.

The leader of Emei Taoism, Taoist Yuehe, the eight-bag elder of the Beggar Gang, Gou Nan, the white-haired immortal of Songshan, Bu Chen, Tiansong of Mount Tai, and Wang Chengwu of the Golden Mother Palace of Mount Heng, the five righteous masters surrounded Mu Gaofeng in the center.

When Mu Gaofeng saw Taoist Yuehe, he was surprised that he couldn't even see anyone after being attacked. It turned out that the Emei master was behind it.

He knew he was doomed, so he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hahaha, so many experts were dispatched just for an old hunchback like me! They really think better of me!"

He held the sword horizontally, and said with a cold look: "I am not throwing down my weapons and surrendering. Come on!"

Taoist Yuehe smiled slightly and said, "I advise you to give up your weapons and surrender, because Censor Ou wants to see you."

Mu Gaofeng was stunned for a moment, then looked at the others. Seeing that they all nodded, he relaxed his guard and asked, "Why did Lord Ou see a wild man like me?"

"I have no way of knowing this."

Taoist Yuehe said calmly: "If it weren't for Censor Ou's request, you wouldn't be able to get here."

Mu Gaofeng was stunned for a moment, then he understood. Among the five people chasing him, only Taishan Tiansong was weaker. Beggar Gang Gounan, Songshan Bu Chen and Hengshan Wang Chengwu were almost as strong as him, and Taoist Yuehe could easily control him.

These five men were determined to kill him, and there was no way he could escape.

That is
He doesn't have to die?!

After figuring it out, Mu Gaofeng put away his camel sword and said calmly, "In that case, I will go with you all!"

Wang Chengwu walked over and suddenly pressed a point on Mu Gaofeng's acupoints, rendering him unable to move.

Mu Gaofeng’s eyes widened, swear words were on the tip of his tongue but he held them back.

"It's getting late today. We will take you back to Hengshan County and make a decision after meeting with Censor Ou tomorrow." Wang Chengwu smiled and explained casually.

Mu Gaofeng finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Early the next morning, all the leaders came with their favorite disciples. They had made great achievements yesterday, so today would surely not be too bad.

However, before they arrived, Ou Zanghua asked someone to call Lin Pingzhi and Yu Canghai over.

As soon as these two enemies met, they looked as if they wanted to kill each other.

Ou Zanghua sighed, looked at Yu Canghai and said, "Master Yu, although there is a saying that 'the affairs of the underworld should be left to the underworld', when Lin Pingzhi came to me yesterday to seek justice, he called me Censor Ou, so I can only handle this matter as an official appointed by the court."

Yu Canghai was stunned. Although he had been mentally prepared yesterday, when it really came to this, he became scared again.

"Yu Canghai from Songfeng Temple in Qingcheng Mountain caused the massacre of the Fuwei Escort Agency and killed many escorts. According to the Criminal Law of the Ming Dynasty, he should be hanged."

Ou Zanghua picked up the first book from the table, handed it to Yu Canghai, and continued: "This is the "Method to Decipher the Sword Manual of Exorcism" that I wrote down last night based on the demonstrations of the senior masters. You take it back to Qingcheng Mountain and comfort the spirit of Senior Changqingzi. In addition, I will give you three months to handle all the things that need to be explained and passed on."

Yu Canghai had a dull expression, but after taking the book, he felt inexplicably relaxed. Perhaps his master really wanted to see this!
"Although a disciple of Songfeng Temple of Qingcheng Sect is a Taoist monk, he is violent, does not distinguish right from wrong, and is a troublemaker. Considering that he was instigated and coerced, according to the Criminal Law of the Ming Dynasty, he is sentenced to seclusion for ten years and must study the Tao Te Ching, Nanhua Sutra, and Chongxu Sutra with all his heart. He is not allowed to go out!"

"The position of the leader of Qingcheng Sect will be elected by other Taoist temples in Qingcheng Mountain."

"Finally, Songfeng Temple will compensate Fuwei Escort Agency with three thousand taels of silver to be used for burying the deceased and comforting the family members. Yu Canghai, do you have any objections?"

"I have no objection and thank you, Censor Ou." Yu Canghai bowed deeply, looking a little depressed.

Ou Zanghua ignored him and looked at Lin Pingzhi and asked, "Master Lin, do you have any questions about my judgment?"

Lin Pingzhi gritted his teeth and said with courage: "I have no objection to the other matters, but I don't want to hand over the "Method to Decipher the Sword Manual of Exorcism" to Yu Canghai!"

"What do you think, Master Yu?" Ou Zanghua nodded and looked at Yu Canghai.

"Ah"

Yu Canghai noticed that there were two books on Ou Zanghua's desk, and he suddenly laughed and promised decisively: "I swear that I will never read a single word of "The Method to Crack the Sword Manual of Exorcism". I will only bring it back to Songfeng Temple and burn it in front of my master's spirit tablet. If you go against this promise, my soul will be shattered and I will never be reincarnated. The inheritance of Songfeng Temple will be cut off from now on!" Lin Pingzhi was stunned. He didn't expect Yu Canghai to say this.

In this case, if I refuse again, it would be too inhumane.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Everything is up to Censor Ou."

Ou Zanghua sighed secretly and said, "That's settled then!"

"Imperial Lord Ou, I'm taking my leave. I wish you a long life, good health and all the best." Yu Canghai bowed to Ou Zanghua again, then turned and walked out.

For him, this was the best ending.

Because as long as he gave his life, he could preserve the heritage of Songfeng Temple.

As for the position of the head of Qingcheng Mountain.
Ten years later, Songfengguan may not be impossible to be recaptured!
More importantly, he saw through Lin Pingzhi's cunning. Ten years later, even if the Lin family had an improved version of the "Bixie Sword Manual", it would still be inferior to Songfeng Temple.

His hunched body looked heavy with tiredness in the morning light, yet seemed particularly relaxed.

Lin Pingzhi didn't understand why one person could have two such completely opposite temperaments.

Ou Zanghua looked at Lin Pingzhi and said earnestly, "I have heard that when a three-year-old child carries a gold brick through a busy market, all people in the world are evil spirits. When the smiling Maitreya stands beside the guardian Skanda, all demons are also saints. I hope you can understand this principle in the future."

Lin Pingzhi nodded. He didn't understand this principle before, but now he understands it better than anyone else.

Ou Zanghua was afraid that the child would go to extremes and do something else in the future, so he advised: "Mr. Lin, let me give you another piece of advice! Be lenient to good people, be strict to evil people, and be lenient and strict to mediocre people."

Lin Pingzhi knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, and said with gratitude: "I understand. Thank you, Censor Ou, for upholding justice for our Lin family. The Lin family will never forget it! We want to offer a longevity tablet for Censor Ou, burn incense every day, and pray for him."

"I have received your gratitude, but I don't need the longevity tablet!"

"Ou Yushi"

"I said, no need for the longevity tablet!"

"Oh." Lin Pingzhi walked away feeling somewhat disappointed. Today, he had one more question.

Looking at the background of Lin Pingzhi leaving, Ou Zanghua sighed. The records of the juren that he had carefully compiled were indeed suitable to be placed in Shigu Academy.

The next person to be dealt with was the Saibei Mingtu, Mu Gaofeng, who was captured yesterday evening and brought up by Wang Chengwu and Xiang Danian.

Under Xiang Danian's pressure, Mu Gaofeng knelt down and said, "I, Mu Gaofeng, greet Censor Ou."

"No need to be polite, please take a seat."

After hearing this, Mu Gaofeng pushed Xiang Danian's hand away, smiled awkwardly, and sat on the wooden chair.

Ou Zanghua asked calmly, "Mu Baiding is known as the 'Bright Camel of the Northern Sai' in the martial arts world. Is it because he has lived in the Northern Sai for many years?"

Mu Gaofeng was confused. When did he get the name "Bai Ding"?

He replied: "Old. I have lived in Saibei for more than ten years."

"More than ten years. I guess you must be very familiar with Saibei."

Ou Zanghua nodded and said, "Please record the situation in Saibei in detail! Including water sources, routes, cities, population distribution, etc. Write down everything you know."

Mu Gaofeng was stunned for a moment. What did Censor Ou want this thing for?
Suddenly, Mu Gaofeng remembered that Ou Zanghua's official position was editor of the Hanlin Academy, and he had heard on the way that this official position was only granted to the emperor's close ministers.

Is the Ming Dynasty going to attack Saibei? !

He subconsciously asked: "Master Ou means that the Great Ming wants..."

Before he finished asking, Mu Gaofeng shut up. This was a matter of real military and national importance, how could a wandering wanderer like him ask about it?

He deserves to be silenced!

After realizing this, Mu Gaofeng slid down to his knees and kowtowed, saying, "Master Ou, I am willing to be your running dog. I am familiar with the northern frontier and can lead the Ming army!"
