"I have two bases. First, the Tiandu Yuan's dark network, which only relies on the patrol teams composed of branches in ten counties and nine states, and the contact points of inspectors in various places, cannot be compared with the Skynet of the Tiantai Supervisor. You guys The human sea tactical mode is not yet possible, because many small and medium-sized cities do not have branches of the Inspection Envoy and Tiandu Yuan, and even places like Shangbei County and Da Yuanzhou do not even have branches. There is only Tianwang, which oversees the Tiantai, It is to use the human sea tactic. Not only domestic, but all forces in the entire Western Chu region have placed people. Why should your dark network compare with others? Secondly, Emperor Ji Yuan is the only one in the world who controls the land of soul nourishment. The core technology of the Dark World is just imitated by other tribes, but the soul-raising technology of the Dark World is relatively mature and is still being improved. As far as I know, this should be authorized by Emperor Ji Yuan!" Li Xiudao.
What Li Xiu didn't say was that when Li Xiu and Pang Gu went to see Emperor Ji Yuan at the Yunlai Inn in Hancheng, they were teleported there using a sublight speed nanopositioner instead of a traditional teleportation array. Is this a coincidence? Absolutely not!
Seeing that Fa Xiaoren was so surprised that he was speechless, Li Xiu continued: "Let me tell you, I have been planning how to deal with the dark world for a long time. I have already said hello to many people and asked them to always pay attention to the East China Sea. Bin’s movements. The Lord’s Big Mac has powerful stealth capabilities and countermeasures. It’s only for attacking others. It’s difficult for others to find its location, let alone attack it.”
Fa Xiaoren said with a complex expression: "Li Xiu, you are so bold and terrifying! I thought you were just trying to survive on a small territory, and you would do whatever it takes, and you would not even be afraid of our Tiandu Yuan, the second-class nobles, everything. It’s all for self-protection! But I was wrong, and many people were wrong!”
Li Xiudao: "I'm scary? Oh, you think I'm scary, it's just that you have lost what a person with abilities should do. If you are a person with lofty ideals, you will be happy. You are in a high position and can do what you can. You should be doing your part for the human race. But you are greedy and corrupt. Not to mention your real assets, but the spiritual stones hidden in various places. If you are willing to take out some of them and do some research, you will be willing to help. It would be good if the common people do something, or set up private colleges, or open more private schools. At least the common people can have the most basic understanding, and they will not be like headless flies all their lives, being bullied and oppressed. There is no way out, and it will not be so difficult for us, the younger generation, to do something for the human race! For a high-ranking official like you, it is not difficult to do this!"
"Stop talking! Many things are caused by the current situation, and there is no way to explain it! What do you mean, you took this spiritual stone from me to run a school?" Fa Xiaoren said.
Li Xiudao: "It's not easy to run a school. If the people's wisdom is not developed, we can open it for them. If the people are weak, we can return the land to the people so that they can be self-reliant and strong! But only those of us outside the imperial court are working hard and there is nothing to do." You have no clue, you old guys stick together, form cliques, and work together to form a fixed circle. You have no chance at all. If this is the case, then we can only take risks and fight for a breath! There is nothing to say about this. !”
"If, I mean if, I am willing to do something for you? What benefits can you give me?" Fa Xiaoren tried.
Li Xiu was stunned.
Zhuge Sheng and Kuazan both laughed angrily at this sentence. Are they still just thinking about asking for benefits at this time?
Fa Xiaoren hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I am sincere! In fact, I have experienced ups and downs in my life. Since I joined Tianduyuan, I have always wanted to do something useful. Don't look at me with such strange eyes. Look at me, since you know that I served as the last emperor's tutor for three years and prime minister for ten years in the previous dynasty, you should know that I was also doing my part at that time, doing what I thought was right, not As you think, I am sitting on a corpse like this, and I am a crown prince. As for the destruction of Daguan Kingdom, it is simply a general trend and cannot be reversed by human power. Any dynasty, no matter how prosperous it is, will be destroyed when it encounters an opponent like Emperor Ji Yuan !”
Zhuge Sheng said with disdain on his face: "I almost forgot, you also have an identity that people like Sword Saint have been pursuing, that is, the Sub-Sage recognized by Confucianism. Although there is an extra word "Ya", you are far from being a Sword Saint. Its reputation is comparable."
"This is my lifelong pursuit!" Fa Xiaoren said seriously, not caring about Zhuge Sheng's ridicule, "Even if monks like us survive three disasters and seek a thousand years of life from God, we will still grow old one day. Ordinary people , the number of lives is no more than a few tens of winters and heats! However, for thousands of years, generations of ancestors have aged one after another, and new generations have replaced old ones. They have been born, old, sick and died, but only the history will be passed down forever. Although my ancestor of Legalism has passed away for 40,000 years, successive emperors have His name has been buried forever, but only the two words Dharma Sage have been immortal for 40,000 years. Even when the ancient heaven governed the three realms, there were many Dharma practices. It can be said that when the old man was alive, he made contributions to the current world, and after his death, he made contributions How glorious and brilliant is this in the future?”
Fa Xiaoren's eyes were shining. Although he was quite embarrassed and pale because of the torture he had suffered from Li Xiu and others in the past few days, as soon as he said these words, he became tall and majestic.
"As expected of the dignified young saint who was forcibly taken away by force at the end of the Grand View. His words are righteous and his appearance is very good. Unfortunately, what you did is completely contrary to what you did!" Zhuge Sheng sneered again and again.
With just one word, Fa Xiaoren was knocked back to his original shape, and his face looked ugly.
He praised: "Why are you telling him this? This man's heart is rotten and there is no cure. All he can rely on is this human skin. His words are not trustworthy at all!"
Fa Xiaoren said: "Everything is empty, only interests are fundamental. You must know that in the Dharma Ending Age, the spiritual energy is thin. As long as the great tribulation comes, the spiritual energy will be exhausted. No matter whether I abuse my power or collect bribes, Or do something even more outrageous. From the perspective of the cruel laws of the world of immortality, what’s wrong with me earning spiritual stones by my own ability? Is it possible that when the spiritual stones are gone in the future, I will also want to eat them? People? This is called preparing for a rainy day! Just wait. When that day comes, people with so-called lofty ideals like you will be full of ugliness. Unless you are willing to be like ordinary people, your realm will fall, and you will still be able to survive every day and every night. Endure the pain of separation of flesh and bones and rupture of meridians, otherwise, you will also hunt for food. If you cannot hunt food, you will eat people, suck the energy of the human body, and maintain your cultivation state! This is the inevitable result!"
"Fa Xiaoren, what you said is not without some truth. Otherwise, the imperial court would not be so corrupt if it valued human ministers today!" Li Xiudao: "But even if the demon clan, the leader of all evil, rules the Northern Kingdom, Emperor Ji Yuan When he ascended the throne, what he did was to use the soul-nurturing place to limit the demonic nature. Although I guess he may have other intentions in doing so, what I want to say is that everything has two sides, and everything must be done by someone. , there is really no need to argue. Okay, let’s not say any more. I can’t agree to the so-called benefits you want, and we don’t agree with each other. You should lead us to find the Lord honestly and let me destroy the dark secrets. Net, then I will keep my promise, spare your life, and let you go, that’s all!”
"Have you really thought it through? Don't blame me for not reminding you that the dark world is not something you can deal with!" Fa Xiaoren said.
Li Xiudao: "You don't have to worry about this. As long as you can take us there, then your mission is completed and I will let you go!"
"Oh? I still owe you 20 million, you don't want it anymore?" Fa Xiaoren rolled his eyes and asked tentatively.
Li Xiu said angrily: "Fa Xiaoren, do you think I really value your fifty million top-quality spiritual stones?"
"What do you mean?" Fa Xiaoren frowned.
Li Xiudao: "It seems that you don't know many secrets of the dark world. This is normal. After all, there are many things that you don't need to know at all."
"Speak clearly!" Fa Xiaoren didn't know why, but when he heard Li Xiu's words, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt like he had missed out on a 100 million high-quality spiritual stone deal.
Li Xiu sneered and said: "Fa Xiaoren, it seems that you really don't know how much energy the dark world can use. Let me tell you this, if Emperor Ji Yuan is not here, if nothing else, the dark world The existence behind the world will be the first to kill you. Although your Tianduyuan is powerful, it is still far behind the dark world. Especially under the protection of Emperor Ji Yuan for so many years, you eagle dogs have long been gone. Teeth, most of what they do is a fox pretending to be a tiger, and the thunder is loud but the raindrops are small. I have told you before that there is only one way for people like you, and that is to retreat from the rapids, change your name and surname to become a hermit, how good it is to be a rich man, not You must know that your strength is declining, all physical indicators are deteriorating rapidly, you are still making enemies on all sides, and you are greedy, you are simply looking for death."
Fa Xiaoren said impatiently: "Young Master Li, you have preached enough. I admit that if I had planned an escape route earlier, I might not have suffered such a disastrous defeat today. Even if I met someone other than you, I would have capsized sooner or later. This It’s inevitable that you’ll get pecked in the eye if you hunt eagles all year round, but it’s impossible for you to convince me! What’s more, you just said that when this matter is over, you will let me go. We can’t fight with eight poles, so don’t stop. You are wasting your time preaching to me. After all, you have to know that I am also a sub-sage. Although my name is not worthy of my name, it is a fact that I have thousands of disciples. I have always been the one preaching to others! What I have always followed is profit and gain, reform. The ultimate goal of reform is still a profit. If you can’t come up with something practical, it’s impossible for you to ask me to help you run a school!”
"Have you seen through?" Li Xiu said with a half-smile, "Well, I really shouldn't force others to make things difficult for me and waste my time on you. In fact, I really want to take advantage of your connections, but it's a pity that you and I are not the same people after all! Since you don't listen to good advice, it means you still know how to resist, so I will let you know how powerful I really am, so that you will not do evil again in the future. Let's see whether it is your gains and losses that are more useful, or my concentration and wisdom. If you can break my wisdom, then it means that you, the sub-sage, have real talent and learning. Otherwise, if you don’t listen to my good advice today, you will lose your only chance. You will understand that there is no one else in this world except me. No one can ever treat you like me again!"
"You...what are you going to do?" Fa Xiaoren had fear in his eyes.
