Guandao is a way of practice that is a mixture of hundreds of schools of thought. The reason why it has become so popular in this world and has almost become the mainstream is because it has the advantage of innovating the practice system.
This is a practice system that has maximized the use of the torrent of humanity so far. If we have to make an analogy, it can be regarded as a political manifestation of the Tao of War. . .
Gather your troops into formation and cross the extraordinary gap.
Gather people into a country and use the power of the country to practice.
A person on the torrent can travel thousands of miles. When the water rises, the boat becomes taller; when the water rushes, the boat becomes faster.
The relationship between official monks and national power is mutually reinforcing.
The stronger the country, the more monks it can support and the higher the level.
If the official system is not prosperous, the official system practitioners who share the power of the country will in turn suck the blood of the country.
A small country can only support a few officials and gods with all the strength of the country.
When the Yong Kingdom was declining, its fortunes were almost sucked away by a real person named Han Yin.
There are so many more.
Official monks bear more responsibilities than sect monks, which is determined by the path of cultivation. "You Sheng Bi Tan" says: "If you receive his service, you must be of use. If you use his salary, you must accept his position. If you accept his position, you must bear his responsibility!"
Therefore, those cultivators in the world's major sects certainly have greater relative freedom.
But if you don’t enter the officialdom.
Is it so easy to bridge the gap between heaven and man?
Is it so easy to achieve the arrival of God?
How many monks spend their entire lives trapped in poverty!
The more powerful the country is, the more it can help spiritual practice.
When the official monks go to the back, they also want to gather their great power, return their power to the country, get rid of the shackles of the official way, and gain their own freedom... and the sect monks can be regarded as arriving at the same destination through different paths.
Take the Prime Minister Jiang Rumo as an example. He was originally at the peak of Dongzhen cultivation.
After inheriting the position of the Prime Minister of Da Qi, sharing the power of the State of Da Qi, holding the handle of the Prime Minister, and immediately possessing the power of the Yan Dao Realm!
Of course, this kind of enlightenment is not a real achievement. Once you leave your job, it will disappear immediately.
But as long as he secures this position and fulfills the corresponding responsibilities of Da Qi, his power will not disappear. How helpful is it to master the power of Yan Dao for a long time to understand Yan Dao?
During his time in power, he made some achievements and received more support from the country.
Many years later, someone else would take over the political platform and safeguard his political career, allowing him to abdicate safely with a huge financial fortune. He will have the opportunity to be like Yan Ping, and the great power will be attributed to himself, and he will truly achieve the Tao of Evolution and realize the extraordinary peak.
Therefore, Wu Duqiu understood very well why so many children of the uncle and marquis family were fighting for a title.
The so-called hereditary title means sharing the glory with the country!
It cannot be given without great merit. No matter how talented you are, you can only get it if you have the right people at the right time, right place, and the right people.
Was Chu Liang, the fierce butcher of Chongxuan, a genius?
First there was Breaking Summer, and then there was Mie Yang. Is the credit enough?
His Marquis is limited to himself and has no hereditary qualifications.
Hereditary nobles such as Bowang Hou. How terrifying is the power of the country that can be relied upon! Who else wouldn't break the dog's brain?
If there was a hereditary title in Wu Duqiu's family, he would definitely fight for it. Originally, he only hoped for the arrival of the gods, and with the help of the country's power, he could make the arrival of the gods a certainty. Originally it was just a matter of divine presence, but with the help of the power of the country, he had the opportunity to discover the truth... Even a genius, a hereditary marquis of a dominant country, could save at least ten years of hard work!
Ren is such an extraordinary and charming person, who dares to say that ten years is just a snap of the fingers and can be ignored?
How long is ten years? How many things can change in ten years?
Externally, it is status, honor, and a lifetime of honor. For me, the path of cultivation is one step at a time, step by step.
Why not fight? Only a fool would not argue!
For example, those two from Uncle Shuo's family were brothers from the same mother. How long had they been fighting openly and secretly? When it comes to the future, who is willing to give in?
It's just that the Bao family over there has settled down, while the Chongxuan family here is still at the end of its journey.
This time he went to the battlefield to conquer Xia. Under the operation of the Bao family, Bao Bozhao also served under Xie Huai'an. Like Xie Baoshu, he commanded 20,000 soldiers and horses from the countries in the eastern region to form his own army. Bao Zhongqing, who is also a direct descendant of the Bao family, only controls one army... and it is clear that he will not be given any chance.
Of course, in Wu Duqiu's view at this time, the battle for the successor to the Chongxuan family was almost settled.
So when he looked at Zhong Xuansheng's performance, he should have felt some sympathy in his heart, just like he did when he faced Bao Zhongqing.
But the fat man with a smile in front of him, at a certain moment just now... actually made him feel in danger?
Wu Duqiu was stunned, and Zhong Xuansheng had already turned around and strode away.
"This cousin of yours is not simple." Wu Duqiu said.
Chongxuanzun did not respond to this, and only said: "Let's go, brother Wu, please take me to find the Sandu soldiers who assigned me."
It turns out that all the soldiers here belong to Wu Duqiu!
In other words, Zhongxuan Sheng came here specially to investigate the information and find out the loneliness!
Wu Duqiu had a strange expression: "No, you came to me to chat just to wait for him? My Mr. Zun, what's the use of you here? Who are the people you brought with you? He wouldn't know it just by checking back. What?"
Zhongxuan Zunyun smiled lightly: "Tease him."
…
…
"Noble sons compete for titles, courtiers compete for politics, and emperors compete for the country."
"Everything in the world has its quota. If I have more, he will have less, so we must fight for it."
“The great road travels alone, so we must cut off those who travel with us.”
——"Xia Shu·The Chronicles of Emperor Xiang"
…
There is a large city in the southern region, where thousands of miles of dragon veins gather, and it is called "noble town".
It is the capital of Xia.
Daxia has been a country for thousands of years and has a profound heritage. At that time, it swept across the eastern part of the Southern Territory and moved its capital here. It was named "Guiyi", which means the residence of the supreme.
Although the Eastern Expedition was defeated, the country was in danger of destruction, the king died and the country was in mourning, it still survived tenaciously.
The reigning Emperor Xia Xiang, along with all his adult children, died on the battlefield. There was only one nine-year-old son left who was raised in the deep palace.
The Queen Mother of Xia was in charge of the government, and King Wu Sijiao was in charge of the army, and they joined forces to support the country. The youngest son of Emperor Xiang inherited the throne and changed his name to Shenwu to show that he would not forget martial arts and remember to advance eastward.
As for now...
It has been the thirty-second year of Shenwu.
At this moment, in the Baohua Palace where the monarchs and ministers of Daxia were discussing matters.
Today, Emperor Xia is sitting on a dragon throne, with his flat crown, and his expression cannot be seen. The posture is upright, but it does not lose its grace.
Behind the dragon chair, the bead curtain hangs down. The throne of Queen Mother Xia is in there.
Everyone knows that the woman who stood at the top of the city with a phoenix crown and a beautiful hat was the leader of the country's political affairs. He holds the power of a big country with one hand and decides the future of this country.
Danbi has three levels.
On the second level platform, there are two large chairs placed on the left and right.
They are the positions of Wu Wang Sijiao and Min Wang Yu Liyang.
As the pillar of this empire, sharing the glory with the emperor——
Of course, we must face challenges together.
Further down, there are hundreds of civil and military officials led by Prime Minister Liu Xiyi, National Advisor Xi Mengfu, and Commander Long Jiao of the Zhenguo Army.
In the age of Shenwu, Daxia used the entire country to raise two powerful armies.
These two armies are as powerful as the elite armies of the overlord country in the world!
One is called Shenwu, and the other is called Zhenguo.
Zhenren Longjiao was the commander-in-chief of the Zhenguo Army, and King Wu Sijiao personally led the Shenwu Army.
During the reign of Emperor Xiang of Xia, the Xia State had six powerful armies in the world, which dominated the four realms. Unfortunately, they lost the battle for hegemony and the six powerful armies, which consumed countless resources of the empire, suffered all casualties.
Only the remnants of the army were gathered by Wu Wang Sijiao, and they were used as the skeleton to build an army and defend the country.
After so many years of hard work, a second strong army was built, which was named after the country. After that, the surrounding area was finally at peace, and the lurking wolves around him were eliminated.
Until today.
Silence has spread in the hall for a long time.
Today's Xia Kingdom is far inferior to the Great Xia of the past. The Qi State of today is far better than the Qi State of the past!
Qi State's million-strong army has been mobilized, and the cries of oath of loyalty in the western suburbs of Linzi seem to be ringing outside Guiyi City. Who can be without pressure? !
Although in the past thirty-two years, the Xia State has been moving forward with the goal of restoring its former glory, and has always regarded the Qi State as its imaginary enemy, the Xia State has already imagined countless wars in their hearts, and they want to avenge their past humiliation.
Can……
But when this scene really happened, when Jing State abolished Yitian Temple, when Qi State's millions of troops came eastward... people seemed to really recall the terror of Qi State.
I recall the scene in those days when all the powerful troops were lost, the royal family of the Xia Kingdom was almost dead, and there was a war all over the Xia Kingdom and there was only one royal capital left!
I remembered that not long ago, I personally sent the envoy of Ping Ping Country, which later led to the death of a precious divine monk in Ping Ping Country's revenge.
I remembered that the blood of Master Taihua, a famous formation master, was left in Jianfeng Mountain forever just last year!
How can these scenes not make people's hearts melt?
"Everyone, the court has been discussing for two days!" Daxia Imperial Master Xi Mengfu said loudly.
He is a middle-aged man who looks gentle and elegant. Wearing a blue Taoist robe personally awarded by the emperor, he was the one who led the team to participate in the last meeting of the Yellow River.
At this moment, his calm eyes swept over the civil and military officials in the palace: "The matter has come to an end, whether it is war or peace, we should come up with a charter as soon as possible."
Wu Wang Sijiao and Min Wang Yu Liyang have never expressed opinions on state affairs and respect the Queen Mother Xia's governance very much. If the Qi army had not vowed to conquer Xia, and the danger of overthrow was imminent, they would not even participate in the court meeting.
Of course, the will of the Great Xia Zi, or the Queen Mother, will not be revealed too early.
At this time, there were not many people in Baohua Palace who were qualified to talk to the Xi Meng Mansion.
Prime Minister Liu Xiyi, who has white beard and hair and a serious face, walked out: "What does 'war or peace' mean? There is no such option as 'peace'!"
As soon as he came out, he went tit-for-tat with the Xi Meng Mansion, unable to conceal his anger: "When the Qi army is pressing on the border, if you ask whether it is war or peace, you are seeking peace!"
Liu Xiyi was named after Xiyi.
As the saying goes, "What is not seen is called Yi, and what is not heard is called Xi." The avenue is soundless and colorless, so it is called "Xi Yi".
But he himself has a hot temper.
Pointing my nose and swearing at people in the court was no longer the only thing that happened once or twice.
Everyone in the palace has long been used to it.
But today's accusation... is indeed a bit harsh in the current environment.
In today's situation, everyone has to rush to defend themselves against such accusations.
Only Xi Mengfu frowned... but asked: "Shouldn't there be?"
The whole court was in an uproar, both civil and military!
In the Xia State, it was absolutely taboo to ask for peace from the Qi State.
Emperor Xia Xiang died in the battle, and the Xia Emperor's children were almost wiped out. The battle was so hard that only one royal capital was left, and no one in the Xia Kingdom asked for peace from the Qi Kingdom!
With shame in mind and national hatred in mind, we have worked hard for thirty-two years to get where we are today step by step.
Today, Xi Meng Mansion actually dared to ask this question openly——
"Shouldn't there be?"
"Of course it shouldn't be!" Liu Xiyi's face turned red with anger, and he said angrily: "Who are you Xi Meng's family? The late emperor died in a bloody battle, and the prince succeeded him. The prince died, and the prince succeeded him. The prince died, and the prince's daughter succeeded him!" I have thousands of soldiers in Great Xia who fought bloody battles and buried their bones in the land, so that this country can still survive! Standing in the temple built by their souls, do you have the guts to beg for peace from the Qi thieves?"
Xi Mengfu took half a step back, as if to avoid his spittle, and said calmly: "Whether it is war or peace, someone has to say it. Can there be only one voice in the court discussion? Everyone will come up with a result through public discussion, and I will naturally Everyone can accept it. But before that, let's discuss the matter, what kind of late emperor are you talking about? Is this the same as in the past? We were able to fight back then, but we may not be able to fight now."
"Why can't we fight?!" Liu Xiyi said angrily: "We, the civil and military dynasties of Great Xia, and our billions of people, have never forgotten to march eastward for thirty-two years!"
"Never forget to advance eastward..."
Xi Mengfu said: "In the past thirty-two years, I have never forgotten to advance eastward..."
His voice rose: "But we haven't moved east yet!"
He looked directly at Liu Xiyi and said with an extremely fierce attitude that had never been seen in so many years: "Not only did he not advance eastward, he also ordered people to break Jianfeng Mountain! Taihua's blood spattered on the spot, and Jianfeng Mountain The formations that have been built for decades are destroyed, and the door to the Northeast is wide open! We still have to deliver the envoys of the Ping Dynasty with both hands! We also have to prove to ourselves that we, Daxia, have not colluded with Ping Ping in the absence of any evidence from the Qi State. Country! I dare to ask the Prime Minister, what kind of unforgettable eastward advance is this!"
People seemed to have just remembered at this moment.
When Jiang Mengxiongquan asked Emperor Xia, the Imperial Master Xi Mengfu strongly advocated a war. He advocated launching a war to overthrow the country at that time, and must push back the Qi army. If Jiang Mengxiong could not be left behind, at least the Spring Death Army must be left behind. No matter what, we must let the people of Qi see the will of the people of Xia.
The Pingguo incident had just happened, when the Qi army made a sneak attack on Jianfeng Mountain. Everyone in the Xia Kingdom was also very motivated, clamoring to teach the Qi thieves a lesson.
But after one true king and five true men joined forces to climb Jianfeng Mountain, everything changed...
The terrifying lineup of one true king and five real men not only failed to force Jiang Mengxiong back, but actually killed one real man on the spot.
He had to retreat from Jianfeng Mountain and mobilize the army, hoping to kill Jiang Mengxiong with the power of military formation.
Then the Spring Death Army arrived.
And then……
It is also in Baohua Palace.
The monarchs and ministers of Xia State considered that it was not appropriate to fight Qi State at that time. He believed that Xia State should continue to endure the humiliation and bear the burden, and wait for the time to mature.
This time...
Just wait until Jingguo abolishes Yitian Temple, waits until the Jingmu War, waits until millions of Qi troops come eastward!
Shame? Painful? Angry?
There was too much anger in Liu Xiyi's heart.
But he found that he could not refute Xi Mengfu's words.
This powerlessness caused him more pain, and in the pain there was more anger.
Finally, he waved his sleeves angrily: "The six-toed thief has no plan!"
This seems to have violated some kind of taboo.
The entire Baohua Palace fell silent for a moment!
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Thanks to book friend Linchuan Yanyue for becoming the ally of this book! It’s for the 279th Alliance of the Red Heart Patrol!
…
Explain two sentences.
1. The Sword Immortal with five magical powers and the Sun, Moon and Star Sword with three magical powers
The Sword Immortal does not have the active effect of unifying the wrong path.
After the Sword Immortal broke the star wheel once, Jiang Wang took the initiative to withdraw the sword, not that he could only break it once after being hit.
The Sun, Moon and Star Three-Wheel Cutting Illusion Sword is not the three magical powers, but the five divine powers of the Sun, Moon, Star + Cutting Illusion + Chongxuan. If you have any doubts about this, you may wish to look back at the Meeting of the Yellow River, which was clearly described at that time.
2. Why did Jiang Wang give up? You dare to use your sword against the real king, why don’t you dare this time?
Whether his sword can kill Chongxuan Zun is unknown. Zhong Xuanzun's sword can definitely kill him.
So he thought he lost the battle outside. He admits.
Don't dare?
If it were a life and death fight, even if you Zhong Xuanzun were promoted to Yan Dao today, Jiang Wang would still draw his sword. But this fight for the vanguard is just the first step in the battle for the head of the Shengzun family. Jiang Wang stood up to help Fatty win the battle. If he loses this battle, he loses first, not the overall situation. He didn't give up and continued to fight for Fat Sheng, and Fat Sheng didn't give up as the head of the family. The fight continues.
He slashed out with a sword that he couldn't control. He was injured and missed the expedition to Xia. How could he still fight for victory?
Cut off the outer building to follow, retreat together, and get rid of it.
The beheading god comes to obey, and he retreats on his own, which is a bad solution.
I don’t want to explain, these are all in the text.
But the reader’s emotions are understandable.
It’s just that I should have known I should take leave.
…
The Battle of Xia is a plot that has been foreshadowed since Qi Xia’s struggle for hegemony, and I will not avoid it. But there is no precedent for a real war in the extraordinary world, so I really don’t have the confidence to write it well.
It will be very slow. Please bear with me.
