When Lin Yi was saving all sentient beings in the underworld, the waves he caused in the world also spread in the spiritual world one after another.
Longhu Mountain suffered heavy losses, and two heavenly masters died at the hands of Lin Yi and a mysterious woman. This news shocked the southern cultivation world and shocked several demon kings.
The melon-eating crowd who were waiting to see the battle between Buddhism and Taoism were no longer calm at this moment.
In Jiankang City, in the palace, Xiao Zhao got the news and was so angry that he broke many objects in the palace.
The palace servants waiting outside the palace were all silent, and no one dared to touch Xiao Zhao's brow.
"Trash, all trash. The dignified Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain was actually killed by a nobody in Longhu Mountain. Does this mean he is qualified to be the leader of the Taoist sect?"
Xiao Zhao once wondered whether Longhushan was playing him.
Please, you are the leader of the Southern Dao Sect!
Even when Longhu Mountain was in its glory, he was still the leader of the Taoist sect in the world. How come he is so lame in this generation?
The original plan was to support the rise of Buddhism and stimulate the dissatisfaction of Taoism. The hatred between the two parties would not explode all at once, but would continue to accumulate.
If he wants to destroy Buddhism, he cannot do it with his current state. Buddhism is not exhausted yet. Even with the help of a powerful master like Yan Qingqiu and the imperial court's full efforts, Buddhism cannot be destroyed.
Competing with the sky will result in half the result with half the effort.
Therefore, if we want to destroy Buddhism, we must first make it glorious and also make it crazy.
If the Buddhist sect is powerful, it will definitely control the dragons and mix, and there will definitely be those who bully others. When the sky is angry and people will complain, he will launch a campaign to destroy Buddhism. At that time, the Taoist sect that has been grudged for a long time will definitely help, and he can take the opportunity to seize the luck of Buddhism and do more
Emperor for several years.
Now that the Heavenly Master has died in Longhu Mountain and his face has been lost, how will he be able to compete with Buddhism in the future?
His policy of supporting Buddhism was originally intended to destroy Buddhism, but now he has actually supported Buddhism. Without the luck of Buddhism, how can he continue to be emperor?
Being so angry can be regarded as being cleaned up.
But when Xiao Zhao was furious, a clear voice came from the overturned bronze mirror on the ground: "It's just that there was an accident in the plan. Why are you so angry? Or is it that you can do nothing but be angry?"
Xiao Zhao's face suddenly turned red with anger.
The only one who dared to provoke him at this time was the vixen Yan Qingqiu.
"Are you here to laugh at me?"
Xiao Zhao had a cold expression on his face. He was now the emperor of the world. Although there was still room for him to use Yan Qingqiu, his dignity as an emperor could not be trampled by Yan Qingqiu.
The bronze mirror turned over on its own, revealing Yan Qingqiu's blurry appearance. She did not show her original appearance when she met Xiao Zhao, and Xiao Zhao only knew that she was a monster.
"Destroying Buddha is a common cause for you and me, why should I laugh at you? What's more, although the current situation does not develop as expected, it is not a bad thing."
"Isn't that a bad thing?"
Xiao Zhao was full of disbelief.
Yan Qingqiu said calmly: "Misfortune depends on blessings. Now Longhu Mountain has been severely damaged and has lost its face. After hearing the news, the evil spirits in Jiangzhou have also begun to cause turmoil.
Since Longhu Mountain is temporarily unable to deal with it, Your Majesty might as well order Buddhism to clean up the evil spirits causing trouble in Jiangzhou. By then, Buddhism’s power in Jiangzhou will also completely overwhelm Taoism.”
"The Taoist sect has declined so much, and we still want to continue to suppress it? Are we not afraid that they will really destroy the Taoist sect?"
Xiao Zhao could not understand Yan Qingqiu's brain circuit at all. According to his concept of checks and balances in imperial power, the way to rule was to maintain a balance of power between the two parties.
But Yan Qingqiu allowed Buddhism to completely crush Taoism. When Buddhism really becomes a behemoth, can the imperial court still fight against Buddhism?
At this moment, Xiao Zhao suspected that Yan Qingqiu was a traitor.
Yan Qingqiu smiled strangely, with an inexplicable meaning: "Taoism is not that simple, it's just that you didn't see it, our plan doesn't need to change, you just increase the intensity, and leave the rest to Buddhism!
"
After saying that, Yan Qingqiu also disappeared from the bronze mirror.
After confirming that Yan Qingqiu was gone, Xiao Zhao let out a sigh of relief.
He was not as calm as he showed in his heart, and the way Yan Qingqiu appeared was too scary.
Xiao Zhao even read her subtle knocks. This palace was the core of Dragon Vein, but Yan Qingqiu could easily perform magic here.
This seemed to tell him that even if he became the emperor, Yan Qingqiu would still have ways to deal with him.
One can imagine the fear and anger in Xiao Zhao's heart.
He wasn't that afraid before. After all, he was proud of his destiny. Who dared to kill him?
Even if Yan Qingqiu is a top expert, he doesn't think the other party dares to be cruel.
But after fighting against Lin Yi, Xiao Zhao was really scared.
There are so many stupid people in this world!
And Yan Qingqiu's methods of trying to seize luck frightened him even more. Wasn't it because he was so arrogant in the past because he had destiny?
But if someone tries to take away his luck and then tortures him after he loses his luck, wouldn't it be terrible?
If he didn't cooperate with Yan Qingqiu, would Yan Qingqiu use the methods used against Buddhism on him?
No one can guarantee it.
Xiao Zhao knew that cooperating with Yan Qingqiu was tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger, but he had no choice.
Before he became the emperor, he thought that after becoming the emperor, no one in the world would let him suffer grievances. Who knew that after becoming the emperor, there would be many more grievances for him to suffer.
In the final analysis, he is still not strong enough.
Xiao Zhao looked at himself in the bronze mirror with a gloomy face. After a long time, he ordered the palace servants outside: "Go and tell the prince!"
"promise!"
The palace man accepted the promise and left. Not long after, a handsome young man in a man's uniform hurried over. Seeing the mess on the ground, he knew that Xiao Zhao was in a bad mood, and his heart was lifted.
"My sons and ministers see my father."
Xiao Zhao glanced at the "Prince" and his eyes showed anger again.
This was his only son, Xiao Jin, who had been hiding for many years. He did not let the world know about Xiao Jin's existence in order to sacrifice Xiao Se and launch a coup.
Because of this, he also neglected to discipline his son. Who would have thought that Xiao Se was not dead, and Xiao Jin was also raised as a waste by him.
That's all. Xiao Zhao feels that he can still live for a long time. If his son can't, his grandson will be fine, right?
What's annoying is that this son likes men but doesn't like women. That's fine, but he's still the passive one.
Although she was born a boy, she still has the heart of a girl.
She likes to play with rouge and gouache to dress herself up all day long. She looks really soft and charming. Those who like the south wind are better off with this one.
But Xiao Zhao looked at his son like this and wished he could kill him and recast him.
However, this is the only descendant of blood.
Perhaps this was retribution. He asked Xiao Se to dress up as a man and raise him as a son, so his own son was raised as a woman.
Xiao Zhao pressed his eyebrows, holding back his anger, and said in a deep voice: "I have something for you to do..."
