"Of course, there are also the emperor's methods involved. After all, the state religion is too big and has the potential to impact the country's power. And weren't my master and senior Xia Wu close friends at that time? How could the Dog Emperor tolerate this situation if he was so suspicious? "Sun Chongyang sighed, and then said: "My poor master, he also planned for the Dog Emperor and didn't even know about it, and finally died in the world, alas."
"Long Xuantian is indeed treacherous and cunning. He is cruel and unkind to the people. He also has various schemes against the people under his command. Such unkind and unjust people should be destroyed. If the Shangqing Sect is really powerful, , are willing to help us overthrow the Underworld Killing Dao, and I don’t mind giving them certain benefits." I promised.
Sun Chongyang glanced at me and said with some embarrassment: "They have a big appetite and want to become the state religion. What do you think?"
I frowned at Sun Chongyang. This Shangqingjiao really has a big appetite. I really thought that I was still the Shangqingjiao that Jun Fanyu brought with me back then. If I want to win the qualification of the state religion, do I really think that all the credit is theirs?
"No. Don't even think about it. Even without them, I can still eradicate the underworld murderous way, but it will be a little more troublesome. Their help is just the icing on the cake. I can't say how much it is. I just want to gain the reputation of the national religion. My head, my appetite is too big!" I immediately rejected the matter. The Puritan thought that as long as they supported Sun Chongyang to go up, they would be loyal to me. How could this be possible?
"I knew you wouldn't agree. Yes, the Puritans are also greedy. But I heard from them that they are very powerful and have a complete intelligence network. It is almost a huge underground network, and there are many ways to kill people. They are constrained by them, and the key is. They have people beside the emperor. If you agree to let them come to power, they can help us rescue Zhou Xianming, Tu Xianguan, and others who were imprisoned in the Dog Emperor's prison, as well as some others we captured during the war. An important official." Sun Chongyang looked at me and said.
I took a deep breath. Zhou Xianming and others have been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for several years. I have been trying every possible means to find a way to rescue them, but I have never been able to get in. Now that the Shangqing Sect is able to do this, it shows how deep their underground network is. How developed it is, but this is not the reason for their exorbitant price. I immediately said: "Let them come to see me if they can speak. If they say the state religion is the state religion, I think too much. Even without them, I can still do it." Rescue them."
Sun Chongyang thought for a while, then nodded and looked at an inconspicuous place in the crowd.
After a moment, a monk wearing a monk's robe and a bamboo hat quickly floated out from inside and stood beside Sun Chongyang: "The poor Taoist Zhao Mengnan has seen Emperor Xia, and Emperor Xia marched forward with great success and killed the Dog Emperor. No scraps of armor were left. The poor Taoist admired us so much that he came up with the idea of relying on Emperor Xia’s power to help us. I hope Emperor Xia would not give up and accept us to join the Puritan religion.”
I saw that he looked quite strange after taking off his bamboo hat, so I couldn't help but ask: "What is your position in the Puritan Church?"
"Pindao once served as the Palace Master of the Shangqing Sect, but now he is the deputy of the Palace Master Sun Chongyang." Zhao Mengnan said humbly, but his eyes were very bright. Even Sun Chongyang was not that bright. It can be seen that this man has clear thinking and independent ideas. Te Xing is definitely not as honest as he looks.
Of course, intelligence does not mean everything in this world. There are many people who are smart without virtue and smart without justice, but most of them do not end well.
"I can pacify Zhongzhou and bring peace to Zhongzhou, but it is impossible for me to defend you as the only state religion. If you do this, are you still willing to help me?" I looked at Zhao Mengnan seriously, my face calm.
Sun Chongyang stood next to me, with a calm look on his face and a sparkling look in his eyes. He looked like a dragon and had an extraordinary temperament. Even in Zhongzhou, I have never seen such a handsome man, and even women may not be able to match him. He is good-looking, so until now, I can only describe him as beautiful. But now, after experiencing many adventures, he is no longer just a good-looking guy, and has gradually gained the magnanimity he should have.
"It's impossible... this... this won't work. I hope Emperor Xia will think twice. Although our Shangqing religion originated in Yuezhou, it has been spread to Zhongzhou for thousands of years and has deep roots. The foundation is solid. If Emperor Xia allows us We will definitely live up to the expectations of the public when preaching." Zhao Mengnan looked at me blankly, as if he didn't think I was telling lies, and he was a little confused for a moment.
Sun Chongyang took a deep breath and then said: "Zhongzhou has been in constant war since ancient times. After the unification, although there was peace for a while, there was still no shortage of internal troubles. Most of them originated from the teachings, but they were similar, and they were different and contemptuous. Such a single education If the cover is not smooth, it will cause internal troubles alone. It can be said that Emperor Xia has a lot of miscellaneous knowledge and possesses ten kinds of traditions. However, he is the wisest leader in thousands of years. Everyone is surrendering and surrendering, humans, monsters, ghosts, and even minority races have all heard of it and defected to it. At this time, do you think we can still teach the Puritan religion without any distinction and embrace thousands of people?"
"Xia Huangming is wise and poor Taoists have heard about it for a long time, so he is happy to join. However, if he cannot become the state religion, how will I, Zhao Mengnan, face the hundreds of thousands of members of the Shangqing Sect, and how will I face the thousands of years of brick-laying that has been listed as the founder of the Shangqing Sect? Wa? I also ask Emperor Xia to think again and again. If our Shangqingjiao is made the state religion, all members of our Shangqingjiao are willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses! There will be no objections!" Zhao Mengnan bowed ninety times and gave me a big salute. It can be seen that He was persistent in the state religion, but after seeing no response from me for a long time, his eyes turned red and he said again: "Please Emperor Xia think twice and show me the way to Puritanism."
Sun Chongyang looked at me and held out his thumb, and I said calmly: "When did I say that I won't let you go to the Puritan Church and become the state religion? I just said that I won't let you go to the Puritan Church and become a dominant state religion. That's what I said. Do you understand?"
"Teaching without discrimination will lead to peace among all races in Zhongzhou, so that all races will not be against each other. If humans are dominant, monsters will become weak, and vice versa, Fellow Daoist Zhao. So, don't you understand?" Sun Chongyang added. One sentence.
This immediately made Zhao Mengnan ecstatic. There was no other reason. He probably felt that humans should be taught by him, and monsters could be taught by anyone who liked them. He couldn't teach them anyway. This was okay. Shangqing Sect had a huge foundation. How could it be possible? Do you care about these monsters?
So Zhao Mengnan bowed again excitedly: "Huang Xia teaches without distinction and has a broad mind, so all living beings in the world must bow before him. I, Zhao Mengnan, had misunderstood Emperor Xia before and was always hesitant, but I didn't expect that I lost my head at that time. Pindao admires Emperor Xia so much now, they say it is better to meet him than to be famous, it is really true...haha."
It's funny in my heart. The Shangqing Sect is indeed powerful, but how could I let it occupy the exclusive rights of mankind? When my Heavenly Dao comes out, won’t all the Dao in the world have been taken over? I have dabbled in demon cultivating skills, demon cultivating skills, and human skills. I have encompassed all the Taoist traditions in the world. I will eventually preach to all nine states in the world, not just the small Zhongzhou. Now let Zhao Mengnan be happy. Anyway, Sun Chongyang Even if he is the Shadow Palace Master, he can restrain the Shangqing Cult and prevent them from being too domineering, but they can still be of great help.
"There's no need to admire me. Whether it's for the peace of Zhongzhou or for the sake of no living beings, I want to see you, the Puritan Church, do your best in this round of encirclement and suppression of the rebel religion. You have been suppressed for hundreds of years and are seeking revenge, what do fellow Taoist Zhao think?" Of course I will not be fooled by Zhao Mengnan's high hat. If he wants to get something I allow, he has to pay the price. This is a condition and it is for himself. He The denomination is good.
"The Killing Path of Hell has been ravaging Zhongzhou for hundreds of years, and the people's anger has reached a boiling point. I have always dared to be angry but dare not speak out when I was a member of the Puritan Church, just because no one upholds justice. Therefore, for so many years, I can only live in embarrassment. Privately, there are some obstacles to Huangquan's killing. Now that Emperor Xia has raised the banner to pacify Zhongzhou, the people's hearts have returned, and the world has returned to its heart. Although I have only a small amount of power in the Qing Dynasty, how can I dare not to help with all my strength? This is just like Palace Master Sun ordering all the people in the world to jointly defend the Dao!" Zhao Mengnan said vowedly, unable to hold back the excitement in his words.
"For what the Shangqing Sect has done, all the creatures in Zhongzhou will be grateful!" I said, no matter what, I had a little more confidence in the underworld's killing methods.
