In Heshan City, Lang Ye was very puzzled by the merchant army's retreat to Xiqi. The assassination incident that day caused considerable chaos, not only heavy losses, but also a big blow to morale. Now there are people everywhere in Heshan City
The security was tight, and everyone was on tenterhooks, fearing that another capable enemy would sneak into the city and cause trouble.
At this time, news came from Xi Zuo who was lurking in Xiqi. The reason for the merchant army's retreat seemed to be that the emperor was ill, and a famous doctor from Xiqi was urgently summoned to the palace for diagnosis and treatment.
Lang Ye felt strange at first. It was said that the emperor was extremely powerful, and it was passed down from other people. During the campaign against Dongyi, he had personally subdued Chi You's weapon "Bite Soul". How could he suddenly become unwell?
Soon, new news came from Xizuo: The emperor was not ill, but had some problems with his cultivation. It was said that the problem was due to the double cultivation technique that the emperor was addicted to. Although there was no immediate concern for his life, he still needed to
Recovery can only occur after a long period of rest.
When Lang Ye first and Fudo Taoist heard the news, their suspicions gradually disappeared, because it was well known to the world that Emperor Shang had indulged in women in recent years. It turned out that he wanted to follow the path of dual cultivation. No wonder there was such a mistake. Because Xiqi
The source of information is very reliable, and this is also a good explanation for Dashang's withdrawal of troops back to Xiqi, so Lang Yexian finally calmed down and secretly said, God help me. Taoist Fufu also looked happy, the emperor is ill, Xi
Qi Qun has no leader, so it is difficult to start a war. Heshan City seems to be peaceful and peaceful these days, just in time to welcome the arrival of the saint.
Taoist Fudo didn't know that the real Emperor Shang was in Biyou Palace at this time, and he was also facing a saint.
The first impression that Master Tongtian gave to Zhang Zixing was the sea. The sea was not as towering as mountains and cliffs, unattainable, but boundless and huge. His appearance was that of a young Taoist in his early thirties, but
It seemed hazy and unpredictable, and it was impossible to see clearly. However, due to the saint's vast magical powers, it was easy to change his appearance. Therefore, Zhang Zixing was not sure whether the saint who intercepted the religion was the mysterious man who gave him the mask and took away the small aircraft.
Sanxiao did not come with him, and those disciples of Jiejiao did not appear near Biyou Palace. It was thought that they had received orders from the leader of Tongtian Cult to give him, the emperor of the world, a face to meet him alone.
With a respectful expression on his face, Zhang Zixing took a few steps forward, bowed to the leader of Tongtian Cult on the Kowloon Agarwood Chariot, and kowtowed three times.
"Shang Tangzi Xin Kou met the sage of the Qing Dynasty, and the leader lived forever!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a futon suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Zixing, and the calm voice of the Tongtian leader came from above: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite, please sit down."
"Thank you, saint." Zhang Zixing said and sat down gracefully, without any timidity or restraint.
The leader of Tongtian didn't ask him why he came, but asked a strange question: "I heard that your Majesty has set up a recruitment hall in Chaoge. He only asks for talents regardless of his origins. Is this possible?"
Zhang Zixing was very surprised by this question from Master Tongtian. After thinking about it for a while, he replied: "It is true. Zi Xin believes that talented people are talented even if they are born in a poor and humble family; and untalented people are talented even if they are born in a noble family.
Mediocrity. If you insist on only using the nobles and nobles, and focus on one corner, the available talents will become less and less, which will be detrimental to the country and the people. No matter whether you are rich or noble, you are still a "person" after all.
Words. Only by treating everyone equally and using only the talents can the country prosper and prosper for a long time. To be honest, saints, in my recruiting hall, even if they are alien monsters, as long as they have real talents and practical knowledge and sincerely serve,
It can be contained and reused.”
Leader Tongtian was noncommittal to his answer: "Has your Majesty ever heard of the Demon God Clan?"
Zhang Zixing had heard Huang Di mention it when he was in Huoyun Cave, and he nodded immediately. The Tongtian Cult Leader asked again: "Does your 'equal treatment' include the demon god clan?"
Zhang Zixing was puzzled by the intentions of the Tongtian Cult Leader and replied: "Including the human race, the demon race, and the demon race, they are all living beings. By chance, I have learned Emperor Xuan's True Martial Arts. If I can be counted as a general,
I am also suspected of being a member of the Demon God Clan, so I will not discriminate against you. But if you are my enemy, even if you are of the same race, I will not give in half-heartedly."
"According to legend, His Majesty has been indulging in public affairs in recent years and has ignored political affairs. But now it seems that this is not the case. What is his intention?"
Zhang Zixing hesitated for a moment and answered truthfully: "I am the emperor of the human world, connected to all people. During the massacre, I should be at the center of the storm and the target of public criticism. However, as an ordinary person, what power do I have to resist? I can only resort to small tricks and retreat.
In the dark, I assess the situation and look for a glimmer of hope. I have tried my best. If I can't escape the fate of being on the list, it is fate, but I hope I have no regrets."
He came to Biyou Palace today to seek help from Jie Jiao, or even to form an alliance for protection. How could he succeed if he acted too weak?
In the 24th century, it was very difficult to find a job due to the major he studied. At the repeated request of his parents, he went to the capital to find an old friend of his father for help. The old friend was the person in charge of a company and treated him very politely.
I asked several friends on the phone, but couldn't find a job that suited him. Finally, I had a long and sincere conversation with him. Among them, what Zhang Zixing remembered most was the sentence "This world is about supporting the strong but not the weak."
Later, he did not insist on staying or trouble that person again. Instead, he returned home, worked hard, persisted in his own scientific research path, and finally achieved great success.
Whether it is the 24th century or this world, the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest are unchanging. Instead of showing weakness and seeking mercy, it is better to show your talents and value and win the other party's appreciation and active help.
Therefore, today he must take off his disguise and show his true ability to the leader of Tongtian.
The leader of Tongtian Cult nodded slightly and said: "Your Majesty is the supreme being in the human world. He is known as a saint and has such knowledge. Why are you so polite to me, an outsider?"
Zhang Zixing said with a smile: "The reason why I gave this great gift to the leader is not because the leader is a saint, but because I have admired him for a long time and sincerely did it. If it were another saint, I would not do this. Even if I salute, it would be artificial."
Seeing the boldness of his last words, the leader of Tongtian Cult frowned slightly. Zhang Zixing then said: "What I admire is not the magical power of the Hunyuan Saint, but the leader's way of 'teaching without distinction'. People teach saints to be quiet.
In Wuwei, expounding the teachings is too important than one's origin and origin, and there are few foreigners in the sect. Only under the sect of the noble sect, all living beings in the world are regarded as one, no matter immortals, mortals, or monsters, they can listen to the scriptures and preach and understand the wonderful Dharma. As the saying goes, the sea is open to all rivers, and there is tolerance.
The reason why your sect is so prosperous today is no accident. I foolishly think that this is the true way of a saint. Compared with this, my government decrees and measures are insignificant! This statement comes from the sincerity and is not flattery.
, leader, don’t doubt me.”
There seemed to be a flash of divine light in the eyes of the leader of the Tongtian Sect, and he smiled slightly and said: "How can a poor man believe this? Back then, in the Nuwa Temple, His Majesty questioned and bet with Emperor Nawa, how courageous and courageous he was. Now the poor man is so courageous.
I'm a little surprised to receive such praise from you. I just don't know what important matters your Majesty has to tell me when he comes to Biyou Palace."
Zhang Zixing felt ashamed. He knew that he had left a good impression on the leader of Tongtian. Now the official "showdown" was about to begin. He did not mince words at the moment and said: "I came to Biyou Palace only because I led the army."
During the Western Expedition to Quanrong, I encountered difficulties, so I came here to ask the leader for help."
"Your Majesty is probably out of ideas. I am an outsider. How can I care about such earthly matters?"
Zhang Zixing shook his head and said: "If it is a mortal matter, how can I dare to alarm the leader?"
Then, he told the story of the Western Sect's invasion of the Central Plains with the help of dog soldiers. The expression of the leader of Tongtian Sect remained unchanged, but his eyes narrowed slightly and he said: "The Western Sect's lotus appears and the relics are radiant, which is called the Paradise of Paradise."
.The two saints, Zhunti, are both pure guests. They have always preferred to live in the west and have nothing to do with the world. How could this happen?"
"On normal days, I should have stayed aloof from the world. But now that the list of gods has been established, and in the midst of the killings, there will be unavoidable conflicts over destiny among various sects. How can they really be aloof?" When Zhang Zixing met the leader of Tongtian Cult for the first time, he still had some doubts.
He was nervous, but now he was completely relaxed, and he talked eloquently: "Currently, the trend of human religion is very smooth, and there is no disaster like the annihilation of the clan during the time of Emperor Xuanyuan. Even if our great Shang Dynasty is destroyed, it is just the rise of dynasty power, so the Eight Views Palace
The saint is happy and carefree, and does not care about it. There are three schools that are competing for luck: Jiejiao, Chanjiao, and Western sect. Among them, your sect has many disciples and is strong, and its influence is considered to be the strongest. Chanjiao, followed by Western sect.
Dare I ask the leader, if you were the leader of a Western religion or an interpretive religion, how would you respond?"
The leader of the Tongtian cult did not answer, but asked: "If it were Your Majesty, what would happen?"
"Four words, make friends from far away and attack from near. The two factions will inevitably work together to defeat the strongest side first, and then fight for each other. There is Jiang Shang, the Asia Prime Minister of our court in the Central Plains, who is a disciple of Chanjiao, but he abandoned his wealth and defected to Xiqi for no reason.
This must have been done under instructions. At this time, Quanrong invaded the east. Although they fought fiercely with the countries in the west and captured several cities, they actually had no offense with Xiqi. It was obvious that they had a tacit understanding. Even if the two have no intention of uniting at the moment,
It may not happen in the future. If it does happen, the Church will be in danger! The leader must take a long-term approach."
Leader Tongtian said: "Your Majesty is too alarmist. Although my three brothers each have their own teachings, they are all from the same school. The saint of Chanjiao is my second senior brother. How can we attract foreign Western religions to attack me? If Western religions attack me
, isn’t it just like hitting him?”
Zhang Zixing sighed secretly: It seems that the leader of Tongtian still does not believe that Yuanshi Tianzun will collude with the Western religion. In the "future" plot, it was Yuanshi Tianzun who joined forces with Laozi, Zhunti, and the four saints to attack Tongtian.
Jiejiao suffered a disastrous defeat at the Zhuxian Formation, until the destruction of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.
Zhang Zixing has always admired and felt sorry for this lonely leader of the Jiejiao. Now he is given a chance to intervene in the "plot", and he wants to change the ending, both for himself and for others.
