Mu Yiyi took the magic weapon, and a rainbow light flew from a distance and landed at the feet of her and Zhang Yu. It was shaped like a lotus leaf, swinging and flying. However, this was supposed to send people to the sky in an instant.
But at this moment, it was stagnant for a while, and then it slowly took off, taking the two of them away.
Mu Yiyi suppressed the surprise in her heart and used her magic power to guide Guang He forward. After walking forward for half a moment, he fell down beside a large lake.
Zhang Yu looked over and saw a huge boat moored across the lake. The boat stood tall like a city wall, long, wide and straight, with a smooth appearance. However, it had golden patterns on the Taoist vessels drawn with gold lines, which seemed to be integrated into one body. Upon closer inspection,
It can be divided into thirty-three separate Taoist urns. If nothing unexpected happens, this should represent the thirty-three Taoisms of the Yuan and Xia Dynasties.
Mu Yiyi said: "Zhang Shangzhen and Xing Shangzhen are waiting for you inside. Yiyi can only send them here."
Zhang Yudao said "Thank you", Mu Yiyi curtsied, then turned and left.
Zhang Yu watched for a moment, and a cloud of Yunzhi jade rose up under his feet, drifting across the lake and arriving close to the giant boat. As he approached, the wall of the huge boat suddenly cracked.
The vertical door is as long and narrow as an eye pupil, and reveals a long passage from the inside. However, the light inside looks dim, and there is a feeling of darkness and depression.
He flicked his sleeves and steered the dense jade to the inside. When he entered, there were lights flashing in front of both sides of the road wall, seeming to guide him on the way forward.
He followed the light, and after dozens of breaths, he entered a huge empty hall. A beam of light fell from above and spread throughout the hall.
In the middle of the hall, there is a Taoist priest dressed in ancient robes standing on a high staircase. The high walls on both sides of it are sloping upward, converging in the distance to the source of the light. Except for the cold solid platform and the metallic color.
Outside the strong walls, it was empty, without any unnecessary decorations.
Taoist Xing glanced at Zhang Yu and said, "The envoy from Tianxia is here." He slowly raised his hand and made a Taoist ceremony.
Zhang Yu also stood still where he was, raising his sleeves and saying a salute.
Taoist Xing said in a calm voice: "I am Xing Mi, the chief minister of the Yuan Shang Palace of Yuan Xia. I am solely responsible for negotiating with the Tianxia envoy on this trip."
Zhang Yu looked at him, waiting for his next words.
Taoist Xing glanced at him coldly, "It has been several months since Tianxia's envoys came to Yuanxia, but they have not settled the matter. Therefore, Yuan Shangdian ordered me to come. There should be an agreement between Yuanxia and Tianxia today."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."
Taoist Xing looked down from above and said: "No matter what Fu Qing Shidao and you talked about, and no matter what conditions they gave, these discussions have ended here, and there is no need to continue the discussion. The Tianxia envoy only
All you need to do is add your name to this contract." As he said that, he waved his sleeves and a long contract floated towards the opposite side.
As soon as Zhang Yu looked at it, the contract scroll paused in front of him and spread out with a clatter. There was a list of treaty articles on it, the most important of which were the first few articles.
First, Tianxia needs to prepare a book and submit the list of all the monks in the world, all the treasures of the Tao, the maps of each jurisdiction, and even the inheritance methods of each family;
Secondly, the cultivators who have obtained the superior merits of Tianxia are allowed to be merged into Yuanxia, but the number of accompanying disciples cannot exceed three;
Thirdly, when the Yuan Xia monks enter the Tian Xia world, no one from the Tian Xia monks can stop them, and they must cooperate with the Yuan Xia monks to take over important places in Yuan Xia.
Fourth...
Zhang Yu read it one by one. In it, Yuan Xia regarded Tian Xia as something that could be slaughtered arbitrarily. Tian Xia could not accept any of the conditions. Of course, Tian Xia had never had any relationship with Yuan Xia.
The purpose of negotiating terms is just to get to know Yuan Xia better.
After looking at it, he raised his eyes and said, "Is this the condition of Yuan Xia?"
Taoist Xing looked at it indifferently, and said without any emotion in his voice: "This is the condition of Yuanxia. Why, isn't it enough? Tianxia sent envoys to Yuanxia, isn't it just to seek dignity? What's in it?
The conditions are enough to give you enough dignity. Of course, you don’t have to agree."
Zhang Yu looked at this man's indifferent eyes and realized in his heart that this man should be a radical in Yuan Xia. What he pursues is to be tough and not give any room for compromise to Tian Xia. He is convinced that with the help of Yuan Xia
His strength was enough to destroy him, so he put forward a series of conditions that Tian Xia simply couldn't accept. What he wanted was to quickly start a war with Tian Xia.
However, based on what he has learned over the past few days, although this person may be thinking this way, he may not be able to achieve his wish.
He looked at her and said, "Then I can answer what you said, Tianxia will not agree to these conditions."
Taoist Xing said indifferently: "Then it means rejection?"
Zhang Yu said quietly: "Whatever Yuan Xia wants, I, Tian Xia, can accompany you to the end." After he finished speaking, he did not see any movement. The contract in front of him suddenly shattered, and then he raised his sleeves and saluted, and then he cheered up.
Sleeves, riding on the Yunzhi Yutai, went out.
Taoist Xing looked at his back and watched him leave.
In another cabin of the giant boat, Cai Li was playing with a chess piece on his seat. At this time, a monk walked in from outside, bowed to him and said, "Shangzhen." He became slightly more energetic and said:
"how's it going?"
The monk said: "Shangzhen, I heard that Xing Shangzhen and the Tianxia envoy left not long after they talked. It should be that they have not reached an agreement."
Cai Li sneered and said: "I knew this was the result. Xing Mi always does this every time. He always confronts the enemy with force, and every time he causes the people below to suffer heavy casualties."
The monk wondered: "Shangzhen, then why do the higher-ups support Xing Shangzhen so much?"
Cai Li snorted and said, "That's because the higher-ups want to take this opportunity to weaken us."
Yuan Shangdian of the Thirty-Third World Dao was looking at the overall situation. The chief ministers all came from various worlds, including former clan heads and clan elders. Over a long period of time, these people had established a certain authority by holding the power to control attacks on the outside world.
Although authority cannot damage the solid foundation of the thirty-three worlds, it tends to further compress the power of each world.
This is not only to better concentrate our efforts, but also to control the distribution rights after seizing the final path.
No one knows what the final outcome will be, but it is definitely not something that everyone can enjoy as advertised, but in the end it will definitely be available to only a few people, and the officials in the Yuan Shang Palace naturally want to take it in their hands.
However, it is impossible for the people below to just obey, so instead they believe that they should treat foreign enemies with gentleness and use force to suppress them. In this way, they can not only destroy the enemy at the minimum cost, but also do not give the superiors a chance to seize and distribute power.
When the monk heard what Cai Li said, he felt uneasy and said, "Shangzhen, if Xing Shangzhen and Tianxia's envoy cannot reach an agreement this time, wouldn't it mean that Yuan Shangdian will succeed?"
Cai Li snorted and said: "Tianxia is a fat and fertile land. How you want to cut it and how much you should cut should be discussed in advance. How can you allow it to be taken away so roughly?"
He said Tianxia, but actually he also meant the final realm. Tianxia is the last world domain. Everyone can see that this time the effort and distribution of authority will directly determine the ownership of the final realm, and orderly carving up is the best solution.
Okay, instead of taking everything from Yuan Shangdian, and then sprinkling some leftover soup to them.
He said: "Go to Mu Juanan's house and ask him to try to retain the Yuanxia envoy. Say that there is still room for recovery, and say that I can invite the Tianxia envoy to visit me in my world later and continue to discuss the two sides.
A family matter."
When the monk heard this, he immediately understood. It turned out that this Shangzhen from home was not unable to deal with it. This time, he deliberately used Xing Shangzhen's hands to suppress Tianxia's envoy first. However, they used soft methods to appease them, using both soft and hard tactics.
This will force Tianxia's envoy to submit, and at the same time, Fu Qing Shidao's family will not be able to enjoy the exclusive benefits.
He said: "Yes, Shang Zhen, I will go right away."
After Zhang Yu returned to the pagoda hall, he thought for a while, and then ordered people to invite Taoist Qu, saying: "Master Qu, I have just met with the councilor of your Fang Yuan Shang Palace. Your treaty is harsh. My God
Xia naturally cannot agree. This mission has been completed. I will leave Fu Qing Shidao and return to Tianxia. Please tell Mu Shangzhen to allow me to leave."
Taoist Qu was startled, and he hurriedly said: "Zhang Shangzhen, please stay for now. Let me tell Mu Shangzhen about this, and then I can reply to Shangzhen. Maybe things will turn around." After saying that, he bowed and left the place in a hurry.
After he left, Zhang Yu called Yan Yuming and said, "Please pass on the order and let the accompanying disciples prepare. I will leave here later."
Yan Yuming asked: "Teacher, are we going back to Tianxia?"
Zhang Yuping said: "It depends on how Yuan Xia chooses."
According to his understanding and observation these days, Yuanxia is full of contradictions. Except for matters involving fundamental interests, it is impossible for one opinion to completely prevail. Moreover, the terms listed by Xing Shangzhen are too harsh, even if he is sincerely committed to Yuanxia.
It is impossible for people to accept him, which obviously forces him to leave, so that the two families will immediately start a war.
He would not be happy with this, but he believed that some people were even more reluctant to see him leave now.
Half a moment later, Taoist Qu turned back and said: "Zhang Shangzhen, Mu Shangzhen asked Qu to tell Shangzhen that the treaty made by Xing Shangzhen was not the intention of our Yuanxia world, and this matter can still be discussed."
He took out a jade talisman from his sleeve and handed it over, saying: "This is the Qiankun Talisman. With this talisman, you can move around inside and outside Fuqing's world. I hope Zhang Shang can stay in Yuanxia for a longer time. There are still things to do.
Turnaround."
Zhang Yu glanced at it, thought for a moment, nodded, took the talisman, and said: "I want to meet you first, come with me to get to the truth."
Qu Daoren said: "Of course it is possible."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. Seeing that he would not mention his departure for the time being, Taoist Qu thought that he had persuaded him, so he said goodbye and went back to resume his duties.
Zhang Yuze called his entourage from outside to come in and asked him to lead the way to You Dao Ren. This time, he did not encounter any obstacles, and the entourage took him directly to the pagoda hall where You Dao Ren lived.
