Zhang Zixing sighed and said: "What I saw in that dream were only fragments, and some of them were blurry. I still remember two verses: 'The four saints of Jiepai Pass defeated the immortals, and the three churches of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation reached the sky.' I don't know the leader."
What's the plan for this?"
Upon hearing this, Master Tongtian's expression changed rapidly, and he finally calmed down, and said: "The way of heaven is impermanent, and destiny has no form. The more it is related to oneself, the harder it is to calculate it clearly. Even if it is a saint, it is the same. Occasionally, you can gain something.
It’s just a scratch, and it doesn’t affect the overall situation. To be honest with your majesty, I have also calculated the fate of my sect, and I also realized that there is great danger. May I ask your majesty, if you follow the number of days in your dream, what will be the fate of my sect in the end?"
"Leader, please forgive me for being blunt," Zhang Zixing saw the leader of Tongtian nodded, and then said seriously: "The leader is a saint, he is transcendent, and he is immune to disaster, but in the images I saw, all of the leader's
The disciples seemed to be in danger of death, and in the end, only one person was left beside the leader..."
"One person!" Upon hearing this, Master Tongtian's eyes flashed, and an invisible pressure almost made Zhang Zixing's body paralyzed. Fortunately, Master Tongtian discovered his gaffe and immediately restrained his strength. Although this pressure only lasted a fleeting moment.
, but it also gave Zhang Zixing a rough estimate of the saint's power, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
In order to relieve the tension in his heart, Zhang Zixing smiled bitterly and said: "Master, please don't be depressed. This is just the original number of heaven. If it were like that, I, the emperor, would end up being cut down by someone below and setting myself on fire to death..."
The leader of Tongtian didn't answer, and just fell into deep thought. Zhang Zixing knew that his words caused an uproar in the heart of the Hunyuan saint, so he didn't disturb him, so he sat quietly on the futon, waiting for the other party's reply.
Finally, Master Tongtian ended his thinking and said, "Your Majesty, is it true that the stars descended from the sky in the end and disrupted the development of the original way of heaven?"
Zhang Zixing nodded affirmatively: "This is absolutely true! If the number of days had been used, I would not have been able to escape the disaster of ruining my country and my family, and struggling would be useless. But the stars fell that day and confused the way of heaven, but it gave me a glimmer of hope. In view of this, I
What happened in the dream was that since he came to the throne, he has worked hard to govern, spread his mighty virtues to the world, and make all people return to their hearts. His original intention was to change his destiny and avoid the disaster. However, as his cultivation progressed and he understood the way of heaven, he realized that the disaster was unavoidable.
Therefore, he showed his weakness to others and plotted secretly. Although he had little power, he did not hesitate to fight in order to reverse his fate. I have a fate with the leader, and your sect and I, the great merchant, are also connected by fate and are closely connected, so today
Come here and tell the leader the biggest secret in your heart without hesitation, both for others and for yourself."
Zhang Zixing caught a glimpse of the sorrowful look on Tongtian Cult Leader's eyebrows, and said: "I know that the Cult Leader has a lot of support for his disciples, so I am worried about the safety of the disciples. In fact, the Cult Leader does not need to be too worried. In my opinion, we are not necessarily destined to be losers. That's it.
According to the "potential" mentioned earlier, although Yuanshi Tianzun occupies the heavenly time, that "heavenly hour" is just the original "heavenly hour". Now the number of days is chaotic, variables are everywhere, and it is not yet known who will win or lose, so it is not a real time.
Heavenly time! If Ji Fa is finally defeated by my hands, Yuanshi Tianzun will tie his own hands and feet. By then, all his disciples will be lost, and the situation will be over. Even if he has the magical power of Hunyuan, it cannot be reversed. It can be said that he does not know the fate of the sky and brings his own defeat."
When the leader of Tongtian Cult heard Zhang Zixing call "us" and heard him analyze the trend of the sect in such a way, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"The geographical advantage of Western religion is nothing to be afraid of. If its believers are afraid of killings and tribulations, shrinking from the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and not involving the middle land, it is equivalent to actively withdrawing from the dispute. All you need to do is to be careful, contain Zhunti, and guide the two saints.
The so-called "clamping the head to control the whole body". If the Western believers dare to enter our country again to cause trouble, they will not only lose their advantage, but also allow me to be justified and repeat the Western Expedition without any scruples. I have the help of Xuanxian, and
With the Chaos Bell, we can cut off the followers one by one. But those two saints are invincible, and they have to be restrained by the Master of Labor."
Leader Tongtian did not interrupt, but smiled. Seeing Leader Tongtian's attitude, Zhang Zixing was secretly happy: "As for the power of 'humanity', I have been pretending to be ignorant in recent years, indulging in women, neglecting court affairs, and officials.
There are many dissatisfactions, and the princes are secretly happy, but they don't know that the people's support has never been lost. All the princes and nobles think that the ministers are the foundation of the country, how can they take the slaves and common people in their hearts? Even if there are wise men like Ji Chang, they have no regard for the people's support.
Understanding is far from enough. The king is like a boat, and the people are like water. Water can carry a boat and also capsize it. The people's heart is the foundation of a country. If the people's heart is not lost, then the harmony will not be lost. If you can unite with the leader, you can unite the two and make them harmonious.
'Being one, we will be able to compete with or even defeat the power of the two religions."
Leader Tongtian nodded and asked: "What if the Four Saints join forces to make things difficult for me?"
"Back then, I made a bet with the saint of the Wa Palace in the Nuwa Temple. If there was a fight between saints during the killing, or if there was any humiliation, Nuwa would help the side with fewer people to check and balance, and resolve the fight.
.With the help of Empress Nuwa, one of the enemies of the leader can be killed. Furthermore, the leader’s senior brother, the saint from Bajing Palace, has a relationship with me in discussing Taoism. As the leader of the human religion, he upholds the way of inaction. If we can persuade him to withdraw,
In the event of a dispute, there are only two enemies left for the leader. With one against two, the leader can handle it. With the help of the power of harmony, we, the great merchant, and your sect can be in an invincible position."
The leader of Tongtian Cult praised: "It turns out that His Majesty has been so far-sighted and had many plans for this matter as early as that year! Now it seems that our religion and Dashang are really dependent on each other. If we work together, we will both benefit, and if we divide, we will lose both!"
Even a poor Taoist can't help but be impressed by His Majesty's wisdom and strategy, and his thorough understanding of the potential of killing and calamity. However, Pindao has said before that most of our sect are outsiders who are practicing hard in search of the great road. It is not suitable to get involved in the world at the moment.
When the opportunity comes, I will come to help."
Zhang Zixing was overjoyed when he heard that Tongtian Cult Leader had implicitly expressed his attitude towards cooperating with Dashang. He stood up and thanked him: "I will be able to rely on you a lot in the future, so I will talk to you about the Cult Leader!"
Although Jie Jiao is a party that helps Dashang in the novel, this world is no longer the same as in the original work of Fengshen, and the cooperative relationship he and Jie Jiao have now established is far closer and stronger than in the novel. This is
It was the first time that he relied on his own strength to truly gain the support of a saint. Jie Jiao alone was not enough. According to the original track, Jie Jiao would be a big tree that attracts wind, causing the Four Saints to besieged, and being outnumbered would eventually lead to failure. Zhang Zixing
You still need to continue to use the art of combining vertical and horizontal directions to further create a situation that is beneficial to you.
"Your Majesty is the lord of all peoples in the world, why should you be so polite." The leader of Tongtian Cult returned the courtesy with a smile and said: "Although your Majesty's plan is good, in fact there are many dangers. Just the strategy to resolve the four saints requires a lot of consideration. And the way of heaven
Even if there are changes in the trend, the general trend is still there. If you want to reverse it, it will be extremely difficult and dangerous. I believe that your Majesty also knows this. But I think that your Majesty is extremely determined and has been planning for a long time. I must have made up his mind long ago and will not hesitate to sacrifice his life.
I have to fight against the odds even if I die. I also want to use your majesty’s unique destiny and the insight into fate to reverse the trend, so that I can survive the disaster safely. But... Your Majesty leaked the secret to me.
, I’m afraid there will still be disaster.”
Zhang Zixing heard clearly and knew that Tongtian Cult Master was also a person who understood, and he did not agree to join forces entirely because of his "fooling". He did not care about the leak of the secret of heaven, and shook his head: "The secret of heaven is also a force.
The situation is such that even if I keep silent, when disaster comes, it will still be unavoidable."
The leader of Tongtian Cult showed admiration and stopped mentioning the matter. He asked: "Three questions have been completed. Your Majesty, can you tell me what private matter you asked for earlier."
Zhang Zixing nodded, sat down, and said what he wanted. Hearing this, the Tongtian leader showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then returned to his normal state and expressed his agreement. If Zhang Zixing had raised this matter when he first came to Biyou Palace, he would have
I was afraid that the Tongtian Cult Leader would still hesitate, but now after three questions, the two parties had reached a tacit understanding, and they readily agreed. Zhang Zixing stayed in Biyou Palace for a while, and then said goodbye to the Tongtian Cult Leader, without saying anything about his return song.
On the second day, many immortals gathered in Yuxu Palace.
This time, all the elites gathered here were the elites of the teachings, including the Randen Taoist from Lingjiu Mountain, the Twelve Golden Immortals including Guangchengzi and Chi Jingjing (there are only eleven now), and Yunzhong from Zhongnan Mountain.
Zi, Wu Ping, Xiao Zhen and other immortals, even Shen Gongbao came.
After all the immortals paid their respects to Yuanshi Tianzun, Yuanshi Tianzun said: "Yesterday, Master Lingbao from Yuanyang Cave in Kongtong suddenly reported his death, so he called everyone here to discuss the matter."
Some of the well-informed immortals had already heard the news of Lingbao's death, while some heard it for the first time. They were surprised and whispered among themselves.
Among them, Guangchengzi, the first Jinzhong Jinxian in Yuxu Palace, came out and asked: "Master, who did this?"
Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at the Antarctic Immortal next to him and said: "Anji, please explain clearly to all the brothers and sisters what you saw in Yuanyang Cave yesterday."
When Yuanshi Tianzun opened his mouth, the audience at the Bagua stage suddenly became quiet. The Antarctic Immortal was ordered to come out, bowed to all the immortals, and said: "Yesterday, Junior Brother Lingbao's name disappeared from the Yuxu Book. I was ordered by Master Teacher to
I went to Kongtong Mountain to find out what was going on, but I saw that there was no one in Yuanyang Cave, except for a few boys who were unconscious in the open space outside the cave. I revived the boys and asked about the situation. The boys all said that there was a Vajra Taoist yesterday who claimed to be
I came from the West and came here to visit Junior Brother Lingbao. The two of them went into the cave to talk at length for a long time, and then came out, as if they were going to compete with each other in immortal magic. The Vajra Taoist didn't know what method he used to remove Junior Brother Lingbao's enchanting smoke.
It was passed on to a few boys and they fell unconscious immediately, and what happened next is unknown. But according to my estimation, Junior Brother Lingbao must have been poisoned by the Vajra Taoist."
Chi Jingjing from Yunxiao Cave in Taihua Mountain pondered for a while and raised his voice: "Who is this Vajra Taoist? He claims to be from the West. Could it be that he has something to do with the Western religion?"
The Antarctic Immortal said: "The surviving boy once said that the Vajra Taoist had a special magical power, and a golden incarnation appeared on his body, accompanied by bursts of strange sounds, in the shape of three sides and six arms, with five eyes flaring in front and three eyes on each side of the left and right sides.
.The hair stands upright, like a galloping horse neighing in anger, like a horse's mane standing on end. The whole body is decorated with pearls and jade. Each of the six arms holds a unique magical weapon."
Samantabhadra from Baihe Cave in Jiugong Mountain is well-informed and said: "This must be the golden body of King Vajra Yaksha, one of the five great kings of Western religions. The six-armed magic weapons are bow, arrow, sword, wheel, five-cobalt pestle, etc."
Magic weapon."
When the immortals heard that it was a spiritual treasure that had been killed by Westerners, they immediately showed anger. The Antarctic Immortal once again described the appearance of the Vajra Taoist the boy had mentioned. Wu Ping hated Westerners the most and said angrily: "This man
It is King Vajra Yaksha! Back then, I and several brothers fought against the Western Cult. This man also participated in the battle, and his magical power was very impressive. The Western Cult had evil intentions and successively murdered Deng Hua and several other senior brothers. Now even Lingbao
Senior brothers have been poisoned! I will never give up until I take revenge!"
Guangchengzi echoed: "What Junior Sister Wu Ping said is true. If it was really King Vajra Yaksha who did it, we must not sit back and watch, otherwise our disciples will not let him slaughter him in the future? So the Western teachings are biased in one corner, right?
But Tu is very ambitious and cannot be tolerated."
However, the fearful Sun of Feiyun Cave in Jialong Mountain frowned and said, "Why did the Western Cult come to kill Junior Brother Lingbao for no reason? I'm afraid there is something fishy about it, so I'd better find out the details first and then make further comments."
Cihang Zhenren of Luojia Cave in Putuo Mountain also said: "There was a conflict between our sect and the Western sect, but the previous master, the Master, ordered us not to fight with the Western sect anymore. The Western sect seemed to have this intention, so the two sides gradually became at peace with each other."
Thing. Why do you suddenly send people to kill Lingbao and take the initiative to provoke a dispute? It is very unreasonable. There must be something behind the scenes."
Wu Ping could not accept this explanation, and advocated that Western religion must be severely attacked in order to avenge this. Several immortals who fought with her in the battle with King Vajra Yaksha Ming also confirmed the identity of King Kong Yaksha from their appearance and golden body.
Guangchengzi, Chi Jingjing, Daoxing Tianzun and others said that they could not sit idly by and must take action against Western religions. However, Cihang Zhenren, Puxian Zhenren, Wei Liusun and others believed that there were still doubts and should not act rashly. Both sides held their own opinions for the time being.
I have my own opinion and cannot argue.
Shen Gongbao, who had been unable to speak, took a chance and said loudly: "Fellow Taoists, please allow me to interrupt. I once received information from foreign Taoist friends that the second leader of the Western religion, Hunyuan Saint Zhunti Taoist, is now in
China is trying to extradite destined guests from all over the country to the land of paradise in the West. Many loose cultivators from China have gone to the West. I wonder if the death of Senior Brother Lingbao is related to this?"
As soon as these words came out, they undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. More and more people agreed with Guang Chengzi and Wu Ping. Master Cihang and others also looked thoughtful. Shen Gongbao saw that his few words had actually changed the debate.
Being in a stalemate, I couldn't help but feel proud secretly.
