Bianjing Imperial Palace.
On the aisle.
As soon as Chenghuo and others entered the palace, the new Emperor Lezheng Xunyi, who had received the news early, took the initiative to come out to greet them.
From a distance, I heard him shouting to Chenghuo and others: "Master Li, Master Yun, fellow Taoists, is your trip to the Tianshan Secret Realm going well?"
Li Zhuo clasped his fists and said in a respectful tone: "Fortunately, I have lived up to your majesty's trust. Overall, this trip is pretty good!"
Although Lezheng Xunyi has ascended the throne and succeeded the throne of Liang Kingdom, he has no airs of emperor at all and looks no different from before.
However, perhaps it is because of the great catastrophe in the West.
After getting closer, Chengshuo noticed that there was a hint of sadness between Lezheng Xunyi's eyebrows.
In addition, Lezheng Xunyi's little tail Meng Qingyao was still following him as always.
The only difference from before is that Meng Qingyao is no longer an unknown disciple in the Dao Sect.
She has become the queen of Liang Kingdom.
"Everyone!"
After a few simple greetings, Le Zhengxunyi saluted the monks with cupped fists.
He does not call himself 'I', but still uses 'I' to refer to himself: "Let's stop standing here. Let's go to my palace to find out more details first!"
According to the tradition of the Lezheng clan, after the death of Emperor Tianhui and the succession of Lezheng Xunyi as the new emperor, the Tianhui Palace was renamed the "Xunyi" Palace.
In Xunyi Hall, the great Buddhist abbot Xuansi and several ministers from the Liang Dynasty court had been waiting in this hall for a long time.
In the main hall.
Le Zhengxun sat on the main seat and said in a calm tone: "Since everyone is here, let's briefly talk about the great catastrophe in the West that will follow!"
After saying this, he glanced at Li Zhuo, who was standing at the head of the team, indicating that he would take charge of the situation.
The latter understood what he meant and took the initiative to stand up and said: "There are still about three months until the catastrophe in the West."
"This time is calculated based on the speed of the giant beast, and it may not be accurate."
"Perhaps those giant ferocious beasts will suddenly increase their speed, but it is also possible that they will become slower and slower in the next period of time."
"This is not certain, so the three-month period is only for reference."
Li Zhuo continued: "At the same time, it is precisely because the time cannot be determined, so we must make plans in advance."
After saying these words, Li Zhuo looked at Yun Rusong aside.
The two seemed to have discussed it long ago.
Seeing Li Zhuo looking at him, Yun Rusong took the initiative to walk out of the queue and said: "Then, let me briefly explain the court's method to deal with the catastrophe in the West!"
Yun Rusong patted the storage bag on her waist and took out a bronze mirror.
He shook the bronze mirror in his hand and continued: "This mirror is called the 'Mirror of Omnipotence'. Wherever the mirror shines, everything can be achieved."
The mirror that makes it all possible
As soon as Yun Rusong said this, all the monks and court ministers in Xunyi Hall were in an uproar.
One of them, an old man with blood-dan level cultivation, couldn't help but ask: "Master Li, is that mirror in your hand really capable of achieving anything?"
"How can this be false?" Li Zhuo glanced at Le Zhengxunyi and said, "If I lie in front of His Majesty, wouldn't I be committing the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
The old man added: "If it is true, then using this mirror should require an unimaginable huge price, right?"
"This is natural." Li Zhuo nodded and said: "When this 'omnipotent mirror' is used, the emperor must announce it to the whole world."
"When everyone knows what the mirror wants to achieve, the mirror can truly play its role of 'achieving everything'."
"So from a certain perspective, this mirror is a treasure that only His Majesty can use."
"Is this the only condition?" The old man was stunned when he heard this: "If that's the case, then what are you waiting for?"
"The transmission of news takes time, so for everyone in the world to know the announcement, it will take at least a month."
The old man asked: "So, why did Mr. Li take out this mirror so early and had to wait until there were only three months left in the catastrophe before telling him about it?"
Li Zhuo said: "The reason why I didn't take out this mirror earlier is because to use this mirror, in addition to the emperor telling the world, there are two other requirements that need to be met."
"One of the requirements is that the person who issues the announcement must not only be the emperor, but also must practice a skill called "The Art of Omnipotence"."
"Eunuch Qin." Li Zhuo said, suddenly looking towards a eunuch with a puppet on his left hand.
This Eunuch Qin was originally the chief eunuch in the palace, but he was later demoted to jail for participating in the Ninth Prince's "Wubi Cult" and lost his official position.
After the new emperor Le Zhengxunyi came to the throne, he thought that he had always been loyal to him and joined the "Wu Nao Sect" just to deal with the catastrophe in the West, so he appointed him again.
"Come here, bring me the peaches!" Seeing Li Zhuo calling him, Eunuch Qin hurriedly shouted outside the palace.
Not long after, a young eunuch was seen entering the Xunyi Hall holding a food box.
The contents of this food box are familiar to me: what is contained in this box is the specialty 'water peach' produced in Guyang City.
This peach is green with white inside and white with red inside. It looks very good.
The texture and taste are also excellent.
Looking at the peaches in the box, Cheng Sheng couldn't help but think of Le Zhengxunyi's magic of growing peach stones with boiling water in Guyang City.
Now, Le Zhengxunyi seems to be planning to recreate that scene again.
In the main hall.
But seeing that Li Zhuo had shaved off the flesh of the peach, he asked someone to bring a pot of boiling water and put it in Yu Lezhengxun's hand.
The latter looked around and said: "My dear friends, be careful: next, I will use the 'omnipotent technique' I have cultivated and use boiling water to make peach trees grow from these peach stones!"
Le Zhengxunyi used the magic of boiling water to grow peaches, Chengshuo had seen it once before in Guyang City, and he just watched it with a calm face.
Li Zhuo, Eunuch Qin, Yun Rusong and others seemed to have known about this matter for a long time, and they also looked calm.
As for Ni Li, Po Yazhi and other monks, as well as the various ministers in the court, they all showed incredible expressions.
——Although the monks in this world can fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and have the magical power to move mountains and reclaim seas, they do not have the ability to conjure clothes and food out of thin air with just a wave of their hands.
Even though immortal cultivators have great magical powers, they cannot allow matter to be created out of thin air. This is common sense.
Coke is looking for a way, but in front of everyone, it breaks this common sense
"long!"
In the main hall.
Le Zhengxunyi suddenly shouted and poured boiling water on the peach core.
After a while, I saw that the peach core had penetrated into the cracks in the ground, and a handful of tree buds emerged from the cracks in the ground.
The tree buds grew rapidly, and in just a moment they grew to the height of a person. The branches and leaves on the trees were lush, and they blossomed and bore fruit at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In a short time, the tree was covered with peaches.
"This" a minister said in disbelief: "In this world, there is actually a magic that can create something out of nothing?"
"Of course." Li Zhuo smiled mysteriously and said, "It's just that practicing this spell requires extremely harsh conditions."
"For example, the late emperor was unable to master this technique."
"And among his sixty-three princes, only His Majesty has mastered this technique."
Good guy!
After hearing what Li Zhuo said, Cheng Sheng finally understood why Chule Zhengxunyi had always avoided talking about this 'omnipotent technique' when he was in Guyang City.
After working on it for a long time, this technique turned out to be the secret of their Lezheng clan.
In the main hall.
Li Zhuo then said the third condition for using the 'Omnipotent Mirror': "In addition to the fact that there must be an emperor to tell the world, and the emperor himself must cultivate the 'Omnipotent Art', the most important point is , that is, everyone who sees the announcement must believe in the results of the 'omnipotent art' from the bottom of their hearts."
“And the more impossible and difficult it is to achieve something through the art of omnipotence, the more people need to believe it.”
"It's like killing the giant beast of the west"
"The strength of giant ferocious beasts is unfathomable. Almost every one of them has the power of a monk in the deep dive stage."
"So it is definitely unrealistic to expect to use 'omnipotent techniques' to kill ferocious beasts. Doing so is tantamount to using a mantis' arm to control a chariot."
"wrong."
Li Zhuo said, then suddenly changed his words: "Not to mention killing them, just forcing them back, the entire Xuanwu Planet must believe in the results of the 'omnipotent technique'."
"However, the announcement from the Liang Kingdom can only let the people in the Liang Kingdom know, and it cannot affect the entire Xuanwu Star."
In the civil service ranks.
Hearing this, the old man who spoke before couldn't help but ask: "Since you can't drive away the ferocious beast, what is your Majesty's plan?"
Li Zhuo said: "Your Majesty plans to do the next best thing and use the 'Omnipotent Technique' and the 'Omnipotent Mirror' to build a teleportation array in Daliang that can be teleported to other places."
"After all, although we can't stop the giant beast, we can always escape."
"Therefore, using the teleportation array to take the people away from Daliang is the best way to deal with the catastrophe in the West at the moment."
"Teleportation array." The old man said: "To create a teleportation array, approximately how many people need to believe the imperial court's announcement? 20%? Or 30% or even 40%?"
"Eighty percent!" Li Zhuo said: "If you want to use the 'Omnipotent Realm' to create a teleportation formation out of thin air, you must have 80% of the people believe this."
"Eighty percent!"
The old man took a breath: "It is not easy to let the people leave their hometown. Not to mention that the teleportation formation does not exist yet. Even if there is a teleportation formation in Daliang Kingdom, the people subconsciously are not willing to believe it. This is the human heart. "
"People have been living in Daliang for generations. How can the imperial court convince everyone to move away with just a piece of paper?"
"Your analysis is not bad at all." Li Zhuo said: "It is precisely because of this that the imperial court has not been in a hurry to issue an announcement."
"We plan to wait until the great catastrophe in the west has truly arrived, when the giant ferocious beasts have truly invaded the territory of Daliang, and when the fire is burning, and then we will issue an announcement."
"At that time, when the people are desperate, they will naturally believe in the imperial court subconsciously, and believe that I, Daliang Kingdom, have always had a teleportation array."
Li Zhuo said: "The people are unwilling to move easily. That is the human heart. But in critical moments, they will take the initiative to grasp every life-saving straw and believe in all possibilities and hopes. This is also the human heart, isn't it?"
The old man frowned and said: "If we wait until then to issue the announcement, then given the favorable time and place, and with the huge pressure brought by the ferocious beasts from the west, it will not be difficult to get more than 80% of the people."
"only."
The old man raised another key question: "It's just that it's urgent, but since it's urgent, do the people still have time to evacuate?"
"Theoretically, it's too late, but the monks in our Tianwei Mansion will take action." Li Zhuo said: "Our Tianwei Mansion has trained so many monks, and some of them even have deep dive periods. All of this is done just to prepare for the imminent crisis. At this time, buy time for the people to evacuate."
Having said this, Li Zhuo glanced at Cheng Huo, Zhong Ran and Lei Lei.
He continued: "If nothing unexpected happens, by then there will be six deep submergence stage monks in our Daliang Congress, and six people will lead the fight against the great catastrophe of the West. Plus countless blood elixir stage monks, although we will not be able to drive back the ferocious beasts of the west, But if you think about it, it’s easy to stop them for ten and a half days.”
""Ten days and a half are enough time for the 'Omnipotent Mirror' to generate the teleportation array and allow the people to evacuate one after another. "
"If that's the case" Hearing what Li Zhuo said, the old man thought about it for a long time.
He nodded and said: "This method does not sound like a big problem. Although at that time, all the people may not be able to evacuate in time, but it is better to save some people's lives than all of them dying in the Liang Kingdom. Be nice.”
"That's the truth." Li Zhuo said: "In this catastrophe, we should do our best and obey fate! We don't expect everyone to survive, we just want to save the lives of as many people as possible!"
"So."
Having said this, Li Zhuo asked the ministers: "Do you have anything to add about this great catastrophe in the West?"
Find a palace.
The ministers and monks either looked at each other, or bowed their heads and remained silent.
No one on the floor had a different opinion.
Seeing this scene, Li Zhuo said: "Since you don't have any objections, let's all disperse. Then, Cheng Huo, Zhong Ran, Lei Lei, you three will stay."
Cheng Sheng, Zhong Ran, and Lei Lei all glanced at each other in unison when they heard this, but said nothing.
The other monks and ministers left one after another.
Soon, only Li Zhuo, Yun Rusong, Abbot Xuansi, and three others were left in the Xunyi Hall, plus Emperor Lezheng Xunyi.
I only heard Li Zhuochong say to the three of them: "Now that everyone else has left, it's time for me to tell you three the truth."
"What truth?" Lei Lei was stunned when he heard this.
Li Zhuo said: "Actually, what Xunyi cultivates is not the 'omnipotent art' at all, but the 'art of making lies come true'."
"The purpose of this technique is to use human emotions of 'belief' to transform desired things from illusion into reality."
"The principle is very similar to how we monks use the 'power of pain' to cast spells."
"It is precisely because of this characteristic that the higher the status of a person who practices 'the art of making fakes come true', the easier it is for them to succeed."
"It's like being an emperor"
Is it the art of making false come true?
Don't know why.
When he heard the words 'turn a lie into reality', Chengshuo immediately glanced at 'Tieniu' and 'Yuan Xiujie' beside him subconsciously.
At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something very important, but it was difficult to grasp the key points.
