The master walked to a chair, sat down, and stared at the saint, with a look of pity in his eyes.
"Why are you still waiting?" The saint was irritated by the Master's eyes and sneered: "You can kill me with one finger, so why don't you take action?"
The Master sighed softly: "Do you think that many things in this world can only be solved by life and death?"
The saint frowned.
"Is today's result what you want?" The master said calmly: "The people who have been with you for decades are disappearing around you one by one. If you knew that the final result would be betrayal and separation, would you still choose
this road?"
But the saint laughed and said: "You want to use your hypocritical rhetoric to condemn me? The path I have chosen will only go to the end without any regrets."
The master nodded and said: "I also think it should be like this. A person who pursues immortality will not care about being alone. You sent people to search for the Taishan Mansion Junji, you want to live forever, and you intend to sit on the dragon throne forever. It's just that
Sitting on the throne forever depends not on immortality, but on the kingly way. You don’t know what the kingly way is, and you have never displayed the kingly way in the twenty years you have been on the throne. Even if you get eternal life, it is absolutely impossible to rule the world forever." After a pause, he said
He continued: "Moreover, the Taishan Prefecture Lord Sacrifice is a lie. If you get it, you will not be able to live forever."
The saint frowned and said: "Lie?"
"I don't know how you got the news about the Taishan Palace Monarch Festival." The master glanced at the saint's clenched right hand. The three skin fragments were still in the saint's hand. He said slowly: "As far as I know, this secret of Yin and Yang is
The art is just a legend, even if people in the Taoist sect
, and no one has ever really achieved immortality through this technique. Many years ago, there were indeed rumors that there was a Taoist sect that held the Taishan Prefecture Monarch Sacrifice, and that it was the treasure of the sect. But I also know that it was just a fake for the sake of fame.
The secret technique of yin and yang, otherwise why has that branch of Taoist sect never produced an immortal person? And not many years ago, the fake Taishan Prefecture Monarch sacrifice brought disaster to that branch of Taoist sect. Since then, the fake Taishan Prefecture Monarch has been destroyed.
The sacrifices are scattered among the people. They are useless things, but some people think about them day and night!"
When the saint heard this, his face became very ugly.
"But the rumors in the world are just turning some common people and things into myths." The master's tone was not sarcastic, but he was just describing one thing very calmly: "The Lord of Taishan Prefecture worships the God of Yue Chuan. It is said that someone
After receiving the Taishan Lord's Sacrifice, I was in a desperate situation and split it into six pieces. Then there were rumors that by collecting the six fragments, I could obtain the secret technique of the Taishan Lord's Sacrifice, and in this way, I could obtain eternal life according to the secret method."
Staring at the saint, he sighed: "I just didn't expect that such gossip can make a man who dominates the world believe it!"
The saint's expression was even more ugly. He clenched his right hand tightly and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging.
"To this day, there are still many people who go to great lengths to find Taishan Prefecture Lord Sacrifice." The master said with emotion: "If some roads are wrong at the beginning, they will only go further and further wrong, and ultimately harm others and themselves."
The saint said calmly: "I just want to do something for the people of the world. What's wrong with that?"
"If you really worked for the welfare of the world, you wouldn't be where you are now.
One step." The master said: "Some things don't belong to you, will someone eventually take them back?"
"You want to say that Sheyue wants to restore Li Tang?" The saint laughed sarcastically: "You are the Grand Tutor of Dezong, and you have received favors from the Li family, so you want to restore the surname of Tang Dynasty to Li. You want to support Sheyue
After ascending the throne, do you think she is Princess Li Tang?"
The Master said nothing, just looked at the saint.
The sage said: "She Yue is not from the Li family at all. I'm afraid all your hard work will be in vain."
The Master was a little surprised, raised his head slightly, thought for a moment, seemed to understand something, and just nodded with a smile: "That's it!"
"So you are deliberately trying to support She Yue to revive the so-called Li Tang. I'm afraid your joy is in vain." The saint leaned forward slightly and said with a mocking smile: "There is no one in the Li family anymore."
The master shook his head and asked: "If there is no one in the Li family, why do you secretly send people to look for Tianyue?"
As soon as these words came out, the saint's face changed drastically.
"You know better than me who Tianyue is." The Master sighed: "Twenty years ago, you wiped out the Li family with cruel methods. But you never thought that the Li family would eventually return to this city twenty years later.
?”
But the saint stood up suddenly and said sternly: "Where is Tianyue? He is actually still alive?"
"There is God's will in the dark." The master said: "The child's life should not have been cut off. If he is alive, he will come back naturally."
The saint seemed to understand and said with a smile: "Yes, it turns out that the person you want to support is not She Yue at all, but someone else. Back then, there were not many people who could steal the child away in the inner palace.
"Looking closely at my husband
Zidao: "It was you, yes, you took him away."
"I have revealed my love to the late emperor. I waved my hands at an angle and drank a lot! The mirage is like a broken mirror, soaring and wet, and the onion is dead, the vase is full, the vase is full of dirt, and the old man is young.
No forgiveness!?
"Who is he?" The saint's eyes showed fear, and fear made her even more angry.
The Master looked calm and said slowly: "Don't you still know who he is?"
The saint frowned and lowered his head. After a long time, his body shook violently and he raised his head suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost. With a look of fear on his face, he lost his voice and said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Did you say that?"
It's him?"
"So you guessed who it was?"
The saint sat down, his face turned ashen, and murmured: "Yuan Fengjing, I don't blame you for leaving me, but you betrayed me." He looked at the master, his eyes full of resentment, and said
: "It was you who colluded with him, Tianyue is Qin Xiao!"
The master said: "You are not stupid after all."
"Yuan Fengjing lied to me." The saint clenched his fists with both hands, his whole body shaking with shock and anger: "What the hell, Seven Kills Auxiliary Star, he actually made up such a lie."
"He should have advised you to retreat when you should." The master sighed: "Back then, he made an agreement with me to give you twenty years to enjoy all your lust for power. That chair is his
A gift for you. He only thought that twenty years would be enough for you to get tired of that chair, but after all, he didn’t understand how much temptation that chair brought to people.”
The sage said: "So you let Qin Xiao come under my nose
Next, protect him with the theory of killing the auxiliary stars seven times." After saying this, he laughed angrily: "You are teasing me, asking me to help Qin Xiao become powerful. I was teased and applauded by you, but I actually cultivated my greatest
Enemy, let me forge my own sharp blade to kill myself."
The Master shook his head and said, "If you could repent in time, you might not have reached that point."
"What's the meaning?"
"I am issuing an edict to abdicate and leave the capital." The master said, "In this way, your exit may not be so ugly."
The saint smiled and said: "You want me to kneel in front of Qin Xiao and beg him to spare my life? Old Master, have you forgotten that I slaughtered the Li family, and the Xiahou family and the Li family are at odds with each other. If he returns to Kyoto again,
I and the Xiahou clan will be doomed."
"Ceasing the war can save countless lives from the flames of war." The Master said: "If you can abdicate and end this war, countless people will benefit from it, and perhaps you can make up for some of the mistakes you have committed."
The saint said calmly: "So, when you came to see me today, you asked me to abdicate and surrender to Qin Xiao in Kaicheng?" He looked at the master coldly and asked: "If I don't do this, what will happen to you?"
The Master just sighed.
"Since Qin Xiao has returned to Kyoto as the Li family, then this war will be the battle between the Xiahou family and the Li family." The saint said coldly: "I was born in the Xiahou family, and I was also supported by the Xiahou family in the past twenty years.
Come on, the Xiahou family also enjoys all the glory and wealth because of me. They have been blessed by me and are extremely rich. When they encounter difficulties, they should accompany me to share the difficulties. If I really can't pass this test, then the Xiahou family will also have to work for me.
Buried with him." Her
The voice was bone-chilling and cruel: "There is also Kyoto. I have protected this city for more than twenty years. If the final outcome is my failure, then this city will also be destroyed with me."
The Master has always been calm and calm, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
"Of course you can stop me!" the saint said with a smile: "The great master's action to kill the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will also become a good story for future generations. Everyone in the world will know that the head of the Confucian sect killed a foolish emperor, and all the people will sing it, and the Confucian sect will also
He will be worshiped by others. But all the kings in the future will be afraid. They are afraid of having the same fate as me. They are worried that their heads will be chopped off by the Confucian sect." He sighed softly and said: "So I don't know, if the old master kills me, what will happen to me?
Is Confucianism good or bad?"
The master looked calm, and the sage's words were exactly what ailed the master's heart.
Indeed, with Master's level of cultivation, it would be easy to kill the saint.
If you kill the saint quietly and leave secretly, it will naturally be an assassination.
The Master is not only the head of the Confucian sect, but also the great master. Carrying out an assassination in such a capacity will only bring shame to the Confucian sect. The Master is absolutely incapable of doing such a thing.
However, if the world knew that the head of the Confucian sect wanted to kill the emperor, it would only bring huge disaster to the Confucian sect in the long run.
As the sage said, if the head of the Confucian sect kills the emperor, no matter what the reason is, he will be feared by future kings, and it is very likely that the Confucian sect will suffer disaster.
Although the Master is a great master, he is still a human being and not a god. He cannot live forever and cannot protect Confucianism forever.
In both public and private matters, of course Master will not do it himself
To do something to kill the emperor.
The saint seemed to have seen through the master's concerns, and was about to taunt him, when he heard rapid footsteps coming from outside the palace.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the saint's face darkened.
This is her dormitory. Logically speaking, no one dares to approach her dormitory unless she rings the silver bell or calls for someone. But the footsteps now are clearly outside the palace, and that is Wu Zhi's suicide.
