Chapter two hundred and seventy-ninth I want to destroy the world, why choose
Chapter 279: If I want to destroy the world, what should I choose?
Zhang Zixing sighed: "Fellow Taoist is wrong! You are a saint of Hunyuan. If you can worship under the sect of Bajing Palace, it will be a great opportunity. How can I refuse? I also understand the other intention of fellow Taoist. If you are killed in the calamity,
Without me as an unexpected person, there will be fewer variables. Unfortunately, even if I stay in the Bajing Palace, I will not be able to avoid the murderous disaster, but it will affect the inaction of my fellow Taoists."
Lao Tzu was a little surprised by his attitude and said: "Although you are a person outside the destiny, you are not the one who must respond to the calamity. The Eight Views Palace is a place thirty-three days away. I rarely leave and live here.
You should be able to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world and avoid the dangers of death."
Zhang Zixing thought about the reason why he came to Bajing Palace today, and thought about it, and said: "Fellow Taoist, can you bet with me on this matter? If I lose, I will immediately worship you as a disciple of Taoist friend and stay in Bajing Palace as ordered. If I win by chance, I will win."
Promise me three things that you can do. At that time, as long as fellow Taoists are willing, they can also take me under their sect, but they will not restrict my actions."
When Yu Yixian heard that "Xiaoyaozi" wanted to bet with the saint, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes: Although he had not been in contact with Xiaoyaozi for a long time, he could see that this person's knowledge and mind were extremely extraordinary, especially the bet with him.
A few simple words got him hooked.
From Chaoge to Thirty-three Days and then to the Bajing Palace, he, Yu Yixian, spent a lot of effort, but in the end it was voluntary labor. He helped others run errands in vain and took Xiaoyaozi to the Bajing Palace to "do things."
". Not to mention these, according to the bet, in the end he will be driven by Xiaoyaozi for the rest of his life.
Now that Xiaoyaozi wants to take the initiative to bet with the saint, he is afraid that he is playing some scheming scheme. Could it be said that this person is so bold that he even dares to scheme against the saint?
When I heard Zhang Zixing's proposal, especially "No matter whether you win or lose, you can worship under the Eight Views Palace", I couldn't help but be a little surprised, and smiled slightly: "My fellow Taoist is quite a gambler! That day in the East China Sea, my fellow Taoist had a meeting with the West
The saints bet on each other, but in the end, even the Taoist Zhunti didn't know the words in the Heavenly Book, and the fellow Taoist won. Now he wants to bet with me, I'm afraid he already has a good chance of winning."
"That's wrong! If there is an absolute chance of winning, it wouldn't be called a gambling match. I wonder what friendship means?" Zhang Zixing said in his mouth, but thought in his heart: In fact, not only did he bet with Zhunti, he had already done so in Nuwa Temple.
, he once made a huge bet with the saint empress of the Wa Palace, and then had gambling fights with Lu Ya and others, but never lost, so he can be called the "Sage of Gamblers".
When Yuyi Xian heard that Xiaoyaozi had even won a bet against Zhunti Saint, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Master Xuandu was also secretly surprised. I thought for a while and agreed to Zhang Zixing's bet.
Zhang Zixing glanced at Xuandu Archmage and Yu Yixian: "Because the matter is confidential, it cannot be passed on to the six ears. I also ask fellow Taoists to use their magical powers to avoid leaking the secret."
I understood and waved lightly. Xuandu Archmage and Yu Yixian felt dazzled and were already outside Xuandu Cave. After I sent them away, Zhang Zixing said: "Before the results are announced, I have a few questions.
, I want to ask fellow Taoist for advice, and I hope that fellow Taoist can answer me truthfully - I know that you have no way to do anything, and I am afraid that even the saints will inevitably be involved in the fight after this killing and calamity. Fellow Taoist and the two saints Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Cult Leader
They are all taught by the same master, and as a senior brother, if the two sects of Interpretation and Interpretation were to compete, who would you help?"
Lao Tzu frowned and said, "You asked this question in the East China Sea that day. I have already told you the answer. I just have to follow heaven."
Zhang Zixing shook his head: "Fellow Taoist, this answer is related to today's bet between you and me. Don't deal with it with me in such a vague manner. I say boldly, I'm afraid you have already made a decision in your heart."
There was a flash in my eyes, I looked at him for a while, and said, "Why do fellow Taoists say this?"
In the original work, Yuanshi Tianzun and Laozi broke through the Yellow River Formation of Sanxiao, the Immortal Killing Formation of Tongtian Cult Leader, and finally the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, leading to the complete collapse of the Jie Cult. Laozi's "contribution" is indispensable.
Since Zhang Zixing was reborn as King Zhou, the entire world has undergone considerable changes. But overall, most of the strength he has tried to recruit and win over before was originally "belonging" to his own side, and there has not been much change.
What Zhang Zixing is most afraid of is that the "plot" returns to its original key point after going around in a circle. So, today he came to Bajing Palace to try his best to change the key "plot" that may appear in the future.
It truly creates a butterfly effect, which affects or even completely changes the outcome.
Zhang Zixing did not answer Lao Tzu's question, but sighed and said: "In this case, the first thing I want fellow Taoists to agree to is - if during the killing calamity, the saints of the two sects of Chanjie fight in person, please tell me
Friends, please help Master Tongtian!"
Lao Tzu's expression changed and he said calmly: "It turns out that you are a disciple of Jie Jiao and were entrusted by Junior Brother Tongtian to come here!"
"I am not a member of the Three Religions, nor am I entrusted by the Jie Religion. As a person outside my destiny, my position is exactly that of the Great Shang."
"Da Shang? Although you have a false reputation as a national master, your spiritual state of mind is extraordinary. How could you be greedy for wealth and power in the world and help Da Shang?" I said with a smile: "Besides, the outcome of the bet is unknown, how do you deal with it?
Did I bring this up?"
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist. After I ask, I will answer your doubts."
"Fellow Taoist, in fact, although Dashang's luck is slightly unfavorable, he is not destined to fail..." Zhang Zixing said, taking out something from the magic bag, which seemed to be a ball. The ball came out of his hand and slowly
It fell in front of me. I gently held the ball in my hand and felt that the ball was made of strange metal. It was very delicate and seemed to be some kind of magic weapon, but it did not have the slightest fluctuation of the magic weapon.
"Fellow Taoist, this thing is in the way, please be careful."
As soon as Zhang Zixing finished speaking, the ball suddenly exploded. Although the ball was not large in size, its explosive power was extraordinary, and it lasted for an extremely long time. The powerful airflow shook the ground of the Eight Views Palace slightly.
There was nothing unusual about my hand, and I didn't even move my clothes. However, I was a little surprised by the intensity of the explosion. I didn't see any movement in my hand, so I glanced at the palm, and the aftermath of the explosion suddenly disappeared.
Stopped, stopped silently.
Zhang Zixing saw that the small super-nuclear bomb was eliminated so effortlessly, and he was secretly surprised by the power of the Hunyuan Saint. However, he looked calm and composed, withdrew his defensive power, and asked: "Fellow Taoist, what do you think of this thing?"
Originally, Zhang Zixing's attack on the saint was considered a great disrespect, but as he reminded me beforehand, I had a very good impression of him and had a bet with him, so I wasn't surprised and said: "This thing is considered mysterious, but it doesn't have any magic power."
The fluctuations are so powerful that they can cause mountains to collapse and the earth to fall apart."
When Zhang Zixing heard Lao Tzu saying that the power was enough to "crack mountains and earth," he seemed not to care. He knew that this level of destructive power was not in the eyes of the Hunyuan Saint. But his subsequent words made Lao Tzu
His usually calm face changed color.
"In the midst of a catastrophe, victory or defeat is uncertain. If the Great Shang is defeated in the end, and I cause tens of thousands of these things to explode together in the lower world where humans live, what will happen?"
"Bold!" I yelled angrily, his eyes flashed, and his aura was so strong that Zhang Zixing almost couldn't breathe, "I originally saw you preaching and talking about the world, but I didn't expect you to be such a person!
Could it be that for the sake of wealth and fame, or because of the foolish loyalty of the king, you dare to ignore the common people in the world and intend to commit such a heinous crime?"
"Haha!" Although Zhang Zixing felt uncomfortable, he laughed loudly, and a force came out of his heart for no reason. He stood up suddenly and looked directly at me: "Since I came to the throne, I have worked hard to govern, and everyone is happy, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. However, you saints and immortals,
In order to end that killing catastrophe, you would not hesitate to overturn the human world, trigger wars in the world, and plunge the people into fire and water. Who are you to say that these people are sinful? Rather than letting all the people be like playthings at your mercy, it would be better to have a thorough
The world will be destroyed, die cleanly! Can't you saints reopen the power of earth, water, fire and wind? Then I will give you the great merit of this re-creation of the world!"
"So you are actually that..." Hearing this, I was moved again, and understood many things in an instant: "What an emperor! What a Xiaoyaozi! What an unexpected person!"
The whole world is the land of the king; the shores of the land are the king's subjects. This is the concept of this era. The subjects of the world, to a certain extent, can be regarded as the private property of the emperor. Just like slaves are the property of the slave owner.
Similarly, it is justified and even reasonable for slave masters to kill slaves, and others are not allowed to interfere. Moreover, Zhang Zixing has long been preaching to the world such concepts as "the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die", so now he reveals his identity as the emperor and says
The words of annihilation made my momentum suddenly weaken.
Zhang Zixing felt that the pressure was slowly disappearing, and he no longer sat down. He just put away his excitement and looked at me calmly. I recalled the understanding and wisdom that the emperor had shown when discussing Taoism with me in the past, and he was filled with emotion.
, sighed: "Your Majesty, you have unparalleled understanding, outstanding intelligence, and the cultivation of a golden immortal. You should know that the killing disaster is inevitable, so why are you so extreme?"
Zhang Zixing also had a thorough understanding of the killing calamity and said: "If we want to reorganize the way of heaven, why not let the Chan Jiao, Ji Jiao, Western Jiao and those cultivators fight it out, and choose the dead with deep roots to be sealed for three hundred years?
Sixty-five righteous gods are enough, so why involve the innocent human world? You are a saint of the human religion, and you should protect our human world, why did you promote this incident?"
I didn't expect that the emperor had such an opinion, and said: "Your Majesty, even the Hunyuan Saint is in the way of heaven, let alone the immortals and mortals? This time the way of heaven is rearranged, we are all included in it.
Although a saint can avoid disasters, he may be contaminated by them, so how can the human world miss it?"
Zhang Zixing was silent for a long time and said: "To be honest with the saint, I have a special destiny, and I am an emperor. Relying on some supernatural powers, I have deduced that in this killing disaster, due to the saint's obstruction, there will be a great danger of the destruction of the country and the annihilation of the clan.
What kind of magical power does the saint have? How can I match it? I am so despondent that I think of burning myself together. But I am also a wise person and do not want to commit such a great evil. As long as the saint agrees to my first thing, I will
I am willing to give up the act of destroying the world, no matter the final success or failure, just fight with common sense and obey fate."
"Your Majesty really has all the plans, but I lost this bet." I sighed: "Your Majesty, as the emperor, is bound to be killed. Even in my Eight Views Palace, it is difficult to escape the fate.
Pindao will also be contaminated by the great cause and effect. In this case, Pindao should fulfill the promise of those three things. It's just that Pindao had a word with his second junior brother in the early years to help him. If he agrees to your majesty now, wouldn't it mean that he is even more dishonest in his words?
"
Zhang Zixing heard that he kept quiet and stopped mentioning the matter of accepting disciples. He knew that I didn't want to be implicated in this cause and effect, so he wisely did not talk about it and said: "In this case, I don't want to embarrass the saint. Don't saints advocate tranquility and inaction?
All you have to do is not help each other and just stand by and watch."
I pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me two other things first."
"The second thing is to ask the saint to keep my identity a secret and not to reveal it to anyone; as for the third thing...the war is coming, and it will inevitably affect my wife's family members. I have transferred her to a secret place, so I request
The saint gave a treasure to protect the house to ensure peace."
"These two matters are easy to hear," I nodded, and took out the small flag connected on all sides and handed it to him, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I should keep my identity a secret and never mention it to anyone; here is the Taiqing flag.
A gate can be placed outside the residence, and it should be transformed into a yin and yang formation of Taiqing to protect His Majesty's family members."
When Zhang Zixing heard this, he quickly thanked me, closed the Taiqing Flag Gate, and asked: "Dare I ask the saint about helping to intercept the teachings..."
I frowned and finally sighed: "I have made a promise to my second junior brother about this, and I'm afraid I can't break it, but I can promise your majesty that if the two junior brothers fight, I will stand by and watch and never take action.
But after this time, Pindao will not be bound by his promise. In addition, Pindao has recently refined a jade talisman and presented it to His Majesty. If His Majesty is in danger, he can crush the jade talisman and Pindao should show up immediately.
I'm here to help you. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Zhang Zixing didn't expect that I still refused to agree to the most important thing. Recalling the two classic battles in the original work, "The Four Saints Defeat the Immortals" and "The Four Saints Defeat the Heavenly Formation", he immediately shook his head and said: "I don't think so either.
If you want to make things difficult for the saint, you and I will each take a step back. I will give up the strategy of destroying the world, but the saint should promise me to give up the two opportunities to help explain the teaching. In addition to the jade talisman, please ask the saint to bring the big roc
Take the bird under your wing."
After thinking for a while, I agreed, looked directly into Zhang Zixing's eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, how can we prove that you have given up the idea of destroying the world?"
