Chapter 1324

"Who exactly crippled Daoist Ning's cultivation base?"

Fan Qinghui's question was very straightforward, but she was really curious, so she couldn't help but ask.

Ning Daoqi also had no intention of hiding it.

If he was prepared to hide it, he wouldn't even be able to come to this Emperor Stepping Peak.

It was precisely because he glimpsed a terrifying storm from the other party's words, which was very likely to lead to chaos in the world, that he came here to prevent this unprovoked disaster from appearing.

"The person who crippled my cultivation base is named Beimingzi, and he is also a Daoist master."

"Beimingzi?"

Fan Qinghui tried hard to recall in her mind, and she really didn't remember which character this was. In the Daoist school, although there were many masters besides Ning Daoqi, they were accustomed to living in the deep mountains and not asking about world affairs, and there were factions with long-standing traditions like the Heavenly Master Dao, but in Fan Qinghui's memory, there was no Daoist master named Beimingzi.

She also said bluntly, "Forgive me for being blunt, Qinghui has never heard of this character!"

Ning Daoqi said, "In fact, I also met this Brother Dao for the first time. I can only say that this world is bigger than we imagined, and there are more masters than we imagined."

Ning Daoqi's words carried a bit of sigh and emotion.

Once upon a time, he really linked the status of the number one person in the Central Plains to himself, determining that although there were many masters in the world, they were nothing more than that. What he sought in his life was only the supreme Heavenly Dao.

Besides the Heavenly Dao, there was nothing else.

Even if he helped the Cihang Jingzhai, helped the Buddhist school, and was then despised by the people of the Daoist school, he didn't care at all.

After all, the Cihang Sword Manual of the Cihang Jingzhai did indeed bring him one step closer to the Heavenly Dao.

Even if he couldn't practice the Cihang Sword Manual, some concepts on the Cihang Sword Manual still gave him inspiration.

For people of Ning Daoqi's level, pursuing the Heavenly Dao was everything else.

It was also because of this reason that he felt the great kindness of the Cihang Jingzhai and helped the Cihang Jingzhai so tirelessly.

Fan Qinghui frowned slightly when she heard Ning Daoqi's words.

In the Daoist school, there was an existence more powerful than Ning Daoqi, and the other party crippled Ning Daoqi's cultivation base. This was not something she wanted to see.

Since the destruction of Buddhism in the Wu Zhou period, until Yang Xuan Jian usurped Zhou, the Buddhist school flourished again. For Buddhist people like Fan Qinghui, the current prosperity of Buddhist studies was something they were happy to see.

But they also didn't forget that the Daoist school was the local sect of the Central Plains, deeply rooted. Although both belonged to the righteous path and had a common opponent, the Demonic school, for the Buddhist school, the Daoist school itself was also a hidden opponent.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Dong Zhongshu respected Confucianism alone, which made many sects understand that the struggle for orthodoxy was a matter of life and death.

Buddha and Dao were destined to have a primary and secondary distinction.

In recent years, although the Buddhist school had surpassed the Daoist school, no one could say for sure when the Daoist school would suppress the Buddhist school in turn.

Although Ning Daoqi, the number one person of the Daoist school, was inclined towards the Buddhist school and had helped the Cihang Jingzhai over the years, Fan Qinghui did not think that this was once and for all. Over the years, many people within the Daoist school had opinions about Ning Daoqi, and she knew this well.

Now, the worst kind of situation had appeared.

A top master named Beimingzi appeared in the Daoist school, directly crippling the martial arts of the Scattered Person Ning Daoqi.

Was this a rebound from the forces within the Daoist school that were unwilling to be suppressed by the Buddhist school?

"It is truly an eventful autumn～～!"

Fan Qinghui thought so in her heart.

At the same time, she secretly pondered how to deal with this person named Beimingzi.

Immediately after, she heard Ning Daoqi say, "From that person's mouth, I learned some things. Because these things are of great importance, I must tell the master!"

"What is it, Daoist Ning, just say it!"

Ning Daoqi's tone was solemn, "The first thing, about the murderer who killed Zen Master Liaokong!"

Fan Qinghui's expression changed slightly, becoming a bit solemn.

Liaokong's death had always been a major event hanging over the Buddhist school and many masters.

The Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chan Monastery had supported each other for many years to create the current prosperous situation of the Buddhist school.

That day, the Cihang Jingzhai found the He Shi Bi and handed it over to the Jingnian Chan Monastery for safekeeping, which was their trust in the Jingnian Chan Monastery. The Jingnian Chan Monastery did not live up to their trust. Zen Master Liaokong personally guarded the He Shi Bi, which should have been a foolproof matter.

They did so many things to carry out the Luoyang emperor selection.

To determine the master of the mandate of heaven with the He Shi Bi.

At the same time, because this matter was carried out by the Cihang Jingzhai, it would also give people in the world such an impression that the Cihang Jingzhai was the mandate of heaven.

Regrettably, the plan was good, but it couldn't keep up with the changes.

An accident happened, Liaokong died, and the He Shi Bi was lost.

Even until now, they didn't know who killed Liaokong.

Fan Qinghui invited Ning Daoqi, not without the intention of using the power of the Daoist school to find the murderer who killed Liaokong.

Now, in terms of results, Ning Daoqi did not let her down, and indeed found the murderer.

Of course, this result was not perfect, because Ning Daoqi was crippled by someone.

"Who is it?" Fan Qinghui asked.

Ning Daoqi said, "The truth of the matter was told to me by that Brother Dao Beimingzi. According to him, it was an existence named Dao Lord who killed Zen Master Liaokong."
