After Qu Daoren returned, he pondered for a night, settled his thoughts, and then came over to find Mu Juanan and said, "Shangzhen, I have already talked with the envoy from Tianxia."
Mu Juanan said: "How do you say that?"
Qu Dao Ren said: "Please forgive me, I am incompetent and have not been able to convince him."
Mu Juanan said with a slight regret, "It's a pity." Then he comforted Qu Daoren and said, "This is not unexpected. After all, he is an envoy sent by Tianxia, and he is not so easy to convince. Master Qu, you have worked hard on this trip.
."
Taoist Qu leaned over and lowered his head, saying: "It's just that my subordinate has failed to live up to the high expectations of the Supreme Being. I still ask the Supreme Being to punish him!"
Seeing his submissive attitude, Mu Juanan was very satisfied, smiled, and said: "It's just a try. Master Qu doesn't need to take it to heart. Well, you can try to break through from other places when you come down."
Qu Daoren said: "Yes, I will try to recruit them from other envoys."
Mu Juanan hummed, and with a more solemn expression, he reminded: "But we have to do it as soon as possible. The higher-ups have already come to press us. They want to meet with the Tianxia envoy, so we have to win over whoever we can as soon as possible.
With the cooperation of these people, we can get more convenience and benefits during the expedition against Tianxia."
Qu Daoren said: "Yes, it's just that Master Shao has been there recently..."
Mu Juanan said in a relaxed tone: "Let him go, he is my brother, and my brother will always tolerate it, and if he succeeds, it will be the success of my Fuqing lineage, so why should I
To stop it?"
Qu Taoist just lowered his head and did not dare to say anything more on this matter.
Mu Juanan said: "Okay, you can go ahead and do it yourself, I will always trust you the most, don't let me down."
Qu Daoren understood, bowed and retreated, and returned to his residence.
He pondered in his mind that Tianxia was the last world to be destroyed. After that, all the superiors and inferiors of Yuanxia would be fixed, so he had to strive to make a contribution in this no matter what.
As for whether Yuan Xia regards him as his own, he has actively ignored this and does not want to think about it.
When he came down to break through the Tianxia mission, he first considered Jiao Yao.
This person was ambiguous during the prior contact and did not say anything precise. However, unlike several other messengers who showed a clear refusal attitude, it was still worth trying again.
Moreover, this person is a true dragon, which also gives him a certain degree of confidence. He saves others by himself. In Tianxia, where monks are the mainstay, such aliens will inevitably be excluded. Moreover, among the thirty-three worlds, there are still
In a world dominated by true dragons, this can be used to persuade people to come over.
But before that, he still needed to understand some situations, so he called a disciple and ordered: "Go and invite fellow Taoist Chang Yangchang to my place. Be careful and don't let the Tianxia envoy notice when you come here.
."
The disciple took the order and left. Not long after, he turned back and said, "Master of the Hall, Master Chang is here."
Qu Daoren said: "Let him come in."
After a while, Chang Yang walked into the hall from outside, bowed to him and said, "I have seen Qu Shangzhen."
Taoist Qu sat in his seat without getting up. He nodded his head as a response and said: "Friend Daoist Chang, I have seen the covenant you made. But I can ask, Friend Daoist Chang, why are you willing to defect to Yuanxia?"
?”
Chang Yang asked curiously: "Didn't the two deputy envoys talk to the real person?"
Qu Daoren said: "I mentioned a few words, but not in detail." As a Shangzhen, how can he have time to deal with a small person like Chang Yang?
Chang Daoren was a little embarrassed and said: "At first, Chang's idea was very simple. After taking refuge in Yuanxia, if...if Yuanxia fails, Tianxia may not destroy me, but if in Tianxia, Yuanxia
Once Tianxia is destroyed, they may not tolerate me."
Qu Daoren was a little surprised. Is this the reason? But if you think about it carefully, this is very reasonable.
But there's a problem.
He frowned and said: "It's just that I remember that the two deputy envoys said that Tianxia treated you old-school monks harshly and cruelly. Why, couldn't it be like this? Instead, he was very tolerant to you?"
Chang Yang sighed and said: "That's because Tian Xia has a different idea. He believes that every Xuan Zun, that is, a real person, is valuable, and killing him is an inefficient method. There is a place in Xuan Ting, which is led by that person.
Qu Shangzhen has seen that under the control of Wu Shangzhen, most of the real people who are unwilling to obey Tianxia or insist on surrender will be imprisoned. Tianxia continuously draws strength from them and puts them to use elsewhere..."
After hearing this, Taoist Qu sneered and said, "It seems that Tianxia is no different." In his opinion, this kind of behavior feels even more hypocritical than Yuanxia.
After asking these questions, he added: "If you want to persuade Jiao Yao to surrender to me, Yuan Xia, can Taoist friend Chang help me?"
Chang Yang said: "I am ashamed that I have never had contact with this Jiao Shangzhen. After all, I am not very good at it, but I know that this person is also from the old school and is not of the same mind as Tian Xia."
Qu Taoist was a little surprised. Did Jiao Yao turn out to be a member of the old school? Although Chang Yang couldn't help with this matter, this news was quite useful.
He said: "When Taoist friend Chang mentioned the old sect, I guess there are many Taoist monks like you, right?"
Chang Yang said: "Yes, there are quite a few."
Qu Daoren said: "Then if I ask you, fellow Daoist Chang, to secretly persuade those comrades to join us in Yuanxia, is it possible for you to do it?"
Although the people who can deal with Chang Yang are just ordinary Xuanzun, and are not as good as the monks who have achieved superior achievements, they can still play a certain role in disintegrating Tianxia's power.
Chang Yang said: "This... Chang Mou is okay, that is..."
Taoist Qu saw the twinkling look in his eyes and immediately understood. He couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart. He waved his sleeve and threw a porcelain bottle in front of Chang Yang, saying: "This is the superior elixir that I refined during the Yuan Xia Festival."
It is scattered and can be used by fellow Taoists to practice."
This pill powder was assigned by Mu Ruian'an and asked him to bribe and recruit talents.
But of course he would not take out the best things among them. He had already lost a lot of them out of habit, and only took out some of the things he didn't like and rewarded them.
Not only him, but everyone around him does this. The benefits must be those with superior merits and deeds, and those with the most merit will get the most, but some will be left out to others.
Chang Yang grabbed the elixir bottle into his hand, opened it and examined it carefully. His face showed joy, and he bowed deeply and said: "Thank you, Shangzhen." But in his heart, he secretly despised Tianxia, who directly gave him the mysterious grain.
This person asked him to do something, but he actually used these pills to send him away?
So he raised his head and said again: "Master Qu, I wonder if I can give you some more?"
Qu Taoist couldn't help but frown.
Chang Yang hurriedly explained: "When I go to provoke other Taoist friends, I can't just talk in vain. I have to give some benefits."
Taoist Qu reluctantly believed it. He flicked his sleeves and gave out a lot of pills. He said in a deep voice: "Ask me to get it when you run out. But Taoist friend Chang, you have to gain something, and then you will need more pills."
Submit a petition to me." Once he gets the petition, he can ask Mu Juanan for more money.
Chang Yang hurriedly accepted it and said with tears of gratitude: "I will definitely work hard."
He secretly thought that although these elixirs were not very good, they were still material for cultivating Taoism. In order not to harm his fellow practitioners, he should bear them all by himself. As for recruiting people, let his fellow practitioners cooperate a little and establish a useless name.
Seal, that's a very simple thing.
Qu Daoren nodded and said, "Okay, I'm just waiting for the friendly news from Chang Dao."
In the blink of an eye, another ten days have passed.
During these days, Zhang Yu has been practicing in the pagoda hall, waiting for the upper echelons of Yuan Xia to come find him.
In recent days, the monk surnamed Fu never came again, but the monk surnamed Guan often came to visit him and play chess with him.
On this day, after another game of chess, the monk surnamed Guan suddenly said: "Zhang Shangzhen, Guan recently heard that an envoy from Yuanxia tried to join you?"
Zhang Yudao: "That's what happened. It's just that this fellow Taoist was killed by the people who were accompanying him before he could reach me. But I, Tianxia, am now guiding him."
The monk surnamed Guan's eyes flashed slightly and he said: "If you can guide me, that means you have a method to resolve my calamity?"
Zhang Yuping said calmly: "We won't know until then."
The monk surnamed Guan raised his head at this time, looked at him seriously, and said: "But after playing chess with Shang Zhen many times, the evolution of Taoism has been clearly shown, and there are ways to resolve the calamity."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said: "If we only talk about Taoism and Dharma, then that is indeed the case."
"In this way..." Monk Guan pondered for a moment and said, "Can I have a private conversation with Shang Zhen?"
Zhang Yu nodded, he took a magic formula, and in an instant a curtain of crystal light fell down, covering both of them. In this way, unless someone from the higher realm could peek, he would be able to detect any movement.
He said: "What fellow Taoist wanted to say, it's convenient for me to say it now."
The monk surnamed Guan looked solemn, bowed to him, and said solemnly: "Guan has received true guidance in the past few days, and he has already understood that Yuanxia is not a kind place. Instead of sitting there waiting for death, we should work hard.
Guan is willing to follow Tianxia, I wonder if you can accept it?"
Zhang Yu looked at him for a moment and said, "Double friend, do you know that Yuanxia is stronger than me, Tianxia?"
The monk surnamed Guan said: "Yes, Yuan Xia is indeed powerful, but Guan only has hatred for Yuan Xia, but no belonging, and since he knows that Yuan Xia will not treat me well no matter whether he wins or loses, why do he still stay in Yuan Xia?
What? Guan would not do such stupid things."
The reason why he surrendered to Yuan Xia in the first place was because his mentor and fellow disciples all surrendered to Yuan Xia. Therefore, he was partly helpless and partly coerced by kindness.
But now, those fellow disciples and even the division commanders have long been killed in the battle. He only has deep hatred and disgust for Yuan Xia in his heart. If his personal power was not weak, he would have started to resist long ago. And Tian Xia's appearance has undoubtedly given
He has a hope.
After saying this, he said solemnly: "If Zhang Shangzhen is not at ease, Guan can sign a contract on the spot to prove this!"
