Xiaoyaoyou shook his head slightly, "The ending I mentioned is not necessarily correct, and the possibility of accidents cannot be ruled out, but overall, the current situation is a stalemate."
"The demon sect wants to go further. Their primary enemy is not us but the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism. Now they have occupied one-third of the world. If they go further, they will threaten the interests of the two sects. The so-called destiny, this Will the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism watch helplessly as they devour the fate of humanity?"
"Sir, it's true that you can boost other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. Could it be that Dazhou can only rely on the help of Buddhism and Taoism and place its hope in their control?" After hearing this, Li Waner didn't take his words seriously. , his face instantly darkened.
Seeing her like this, Xiaoyaoyou sighed in his heart, alas, I still haven't taught enough, otherwise how could she be so ignorant, like a frog sitting in a well looking at the sky.
The three sects have been inherited for who knows how many years, and how many years have passed. How can the accumulated foundation be shaken so easily? Over the ages, many dynasties have changed, but the three sects have remained standing, as if they are standing at the end of time and are indelible.
Facing such an enemy, sometimes even Su Ming felt suffocated.
Seeing Li Waner's cold expression and stern gaze, Xiaoyaoyou didn't take it to heart at all. He changed the subject and asked, "Your Majesty, does he know how the previous dynasty was established?"
"The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was unruly, and Taizu Taizu of Great Chu rose up and rebelled on the banks of the Yellow River. In less than twenty years, he established the world, restored Chinese orthodoxy, and restored the mountains and rivers of the Han family." Li Waner frowned again, not understanding what he was saying. What does this mean?
"What your Majesty said is true. In twenty years, the mountains, rivers, sun and moon were rebuilt, and the arrogant Meng Yuan Empire was driven back to its lair on the grassland. But what I want to say is that the Taoist sect's contribution to this was indispensable."
"It is precisely for this reason that the previous dynasties worshiped Taoism, and the emperors of all dynasties liked to practice Taoism and engage in mysteries, which led to the ruin of the country and the instability of the government."
"The three sects have supported many dynasties in history and witnessed many dynasty changes. Isn't such an opponent worthy of Your Majesty's vigilance?"
At this moment, the anger in Li Waner's heart slowly disappeared and she gradually regained her rationality, "Is everything you said true?"
"If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask other fellow Taoists in the Consecration Pavilion. Many of them are old monsters who have lived for more than a thousand years. They know these things better than me."
"Since Dazhou has no chance of winning against such an opponent, why would Mr. Xiaoyao board a ship that is about to sink?"
Faced with Li Waner's question, Xiaoyaoyou was very calm and said proudly, "Whenever the world is in chaos, it is when my Zongheng lineage shows up in the world. The situation of the world is changing. How can such a big drama happen?" Your Majesty, please don’t feel sorry for yourself. Everything has not come to an end yet, and there is still a possibility of things turning around."
"I will verify what Aiqing said one by one. You can go down first." Li Waner gritted her silver teeth secretly, suppressing the resentment in her heart and motioned for him to retreat.
"Wei Chen takes his leave!"
······
"You heard what he said just now, right? Is everything he said true?" Li Waner said in a deep voice, her face still stern.
There is a bronze mirror hanging in her palm. The mirror is eight inches in diameter. The nose button is like a crouching Kirin. Around the nose, there are four directions, with turtles, dragons, phoenixes and tigers arranged in accordance with the directions.
Outside the four directions are placed the Eight Diagrams, the twelve Chen positions are placed outside the Gua, and the twenty-four seal characters are placed outside the Chen animal, surrounding the outline.
At this moment, colorful rays of light appeared on the mirror, hanging in the void, and a figure appeared on the mirror. He bowed respectfully to Li Waner, "I see you, Your Majesty."
"What this person said is true. The foundation and strength of the three sects are by no means as simple as they appear on the surface. When Wei Chen died, there was a demon sect secretly behind it. Their plan has been laid for a long time. Your Majesty, please do not take it lightly. Demonic Cult.”
"Do I really want to tie my life and death in the hands of others?" Li Waner clenched her pink fists in her sleeves, with an expression of reluctance on her face.
"Your Majesty is serious. This is not your Majesty's fault. Yuanshen monks live for more than a thousand years and can live for two thousand years. No country in history can have such a long destiny. There is a deep gap between the monks and the common people, isn't it? What can be erased overnight, Your Majesty has done a good enough job, it's just bad luck." The figure in the mirror comforted.
However, instead of being embarrassed and disappointed, Li Waner was in high spirits, "Mr. Chen, tell me all the information you know. Don't exaggerate or reduce the facts. I want to know how big the gap between Dazhou and Sanzong is!" "
"Wei Chen takes orders!"
······
The man in the mirror talked for several hours, but Li Waner stayed in Tianshu Pavilion all day and did not go down until late at night.
In the night sky, the stars are shining, and the emperor's star is dim. Li Waner stands on the top of the Tianshu Pavilion, looking up at the sky, with little moonlight shining on her crystal-clear jade skin, her beautiful face, three thousand black hair hanging behind her head, and the breeze blowing , raised gently, like a moon palace fairy.
Write a book
After a long time, she looked away and murmured to herself, "It turns out that my father was able to revive the Great Zhou Dynasty with the help of the three sects. No wonder I always felt something was wrong when I read the history books. It turns out that the truth is so bizarre."
"Is this the gap between monks and ordinary people? No wonder Mr. Xiaoyao talks like that. It's because I am ignorant." She sighed softly, feeling inexplicably disappointed in her heart.
"Your Majesty, rest assured for the time being. Even though the Demonic Cult has a profound foundation, I, Da Zhou, am not a soft persimmon. I am still capable of fighting. Moreover, as Mr. Xiaoyao said, Buddhism and Taoism will not let the Demonic Cult devour the fate of humanity. We still have a chance." The deep voice of the figure in the mirror sounded, constantly comforting Li Waner.
"I understand that the general trend is unstoppable. Even my father can only follow the trend. I will consider it carefully. Don't worry, Mr. Chen."
"Wei Chen resigns!"
······
The war between the Xuanyi Army and the Great Zhou Dynasty is still going on. Both sides consume massive amounts of resources every day. In this battle, they are fighting on multiple fronts, and the battle has spread across the entire border defense.
With the territory of the Eleven Prefectures, the early investment of the Demon Sect has paid off. The elders within the Demon Sect who originally complained about Mo Lihai have also become silent. If the Demon Sect eats meat, they and their disciples and grandchildren can also eat meat. Ah, so they are investing more resources now, hoping to destroy the Zhou Dynasty in one go and sweep the world.
However, their hopes are doomed to be dashed. The Demon Sect has a foundation, so why does the Great Zhou have no foundation? What's more, the Great Zhou is backed by the twenty-three states in the world, and there are still hundreds of millions of people under his command. After Emperor Shenwu suppressed the world, they have enough After more than 40 years of accumulation, the national treasury is full and the people's lives are worry-free.
This war broke decades of peace and allowed the machine of the Great Zhou to run at high speed again, including recruiting troops, training troops, logistics operations, and intelligence spying. As the war continued, the Great Zhou became stronger and stronger.
It's not that it's getting stronger, but because the power that Dazhou can mobilize is increasing. Without the vast border, Dazhou can calmly mobilize county soldiers from all over the country, organize them into large armies, and directly enter the battlefield. Heroes from all over the country also join forces. Join the army and add fresh blood to the big week.
Outside the secret practice realm on the border of Yongzhou, a young man in black robe suddenly appeared here, observing the place with blood-red eyes, and after a long time, he looked away.
"Pudu Cihang, I am still not as good as you after all." In Mo Lihai's eyes, the Buddhist charm, sword energy, and yin and yang power of this place have merged with each other and formed a field after several years of struggle. It was the mystery that he couldn't understand in a short time.
And this is the sword energy left by Pudu Cihang three years ago. How powerful is the sword energy that killed millions of demon soldiers?
Mo Lihai didn't know, and didn't want to think about it, that Mei Xueqing had already gone into seclusion, and most of the younger generation of Yuanshen monks from the Demon Sect had gone into seclusion, hoping to break through to a higher realm before the catastrophe came. He was the only one who still Participating in worldly matters.
It has been a long time since he calmed down and retreated. When he cursed Emperor Shenwu, he was backlashed by the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty as a secret promoter. He healed the injury for a long time. After recovering from the injury, he secretly plotted against the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although he did not practice well during this period, , but was interfered by the outside world, and his practice fell a lot.
Is all this worth it?
Looking at the monks who were practicing inside and outside the secret realm, Mo Lihai asked himself, he didn't know, and he didn't want to know, because he could only continue step by step. If the demon sect couldn't get the greatest fruit, then what would be the investment? Everything will be in vain. Although the devil's sect's foundation remains the same, he will perish.
Buddhism and Taoism, what is your purpose?
For Mo Lihai, he had never really taken Da Zhou seriously. If it were not restricted by the rules, a secular dynasty like Da Zhou could be wiped out with just a few clicks.
The Xuanyi Army supported by the Demon Sect has already taken over one-third of the world, but the Taoist and Buddhist sects have not yet made any move, which puzzles him.
The three sects have been fighting against each other for thousands of years. He knows very well that these two parties will never surrender and watch him seize the world. However, he does not know what the plans and calculations of these two sects are.
Originally, he thought that the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism would support the Great Zhou, fight with them, and fight with the demon sect. If this was the case, he would still have the back-up to counterattack, and the three sects would end at the same time, and the so-called rules would no longer exist.
Standing here, he thought a lot, and finally left everything behind, leaving one sentence and disappearing, "Pudu Cihang, after you come out, I will let you know a brand new me. By then, , is when we really decide the outcome.”
······
The Xuanyi Army fought many times with Dazhou, and both sides won and lost, but overall, the situation was a temporary stalemate, and no one took advantage.
In the end, the Xuanyi Army took the initiative to withdraw, and the two sides were in a stalemate at the border. Each was preparing for war and investing great energy in the next war.
The news quickly spread back to the capital, and everyone in the government and the public breathed a sigh of relief. In the past few months, the dark clouds of war have been hanging over the capital, making people breathless. They were afraid that they would hear the news the next day. to the news that Xuanyi Army defeated Dazhou.
For a time, people inside and outside the capital rushed to tell each other, and the imperial court simply asked all officials to take a vacation and only maintained basic functions.
However, all this has nothing to do with Xiaoyaoyou, because everything is going in the direction he expected.
The lake surface was rippling with blue waves, and the sky was cloudless. The blue sky reflected on the lake surface was really beautiful. Suddenly, a circle of ripples rippled, distorting the reflection.
"Crack!"
A golden carp was swinging on the hook, its huge tail slapping on the lake surface, causing ripples.
However, Xiaoyaoyou stared at Carp with a strange look on his face, "Why is it you again?"
He caught this fish more than once. After releasing it every time, he would catch it again the next day. Even if he did not put any bait, the fish would still take the bait, as if it was addicted.
"Do you really think I don't eat meat?" Xiaoyaoyou shook slightly, and the carp jumped up and landed in the fish basket.
At this time, the fish fell into the fish basket, and there was confusion in the eyes of the two huge fishes. What's going on? Why didn't he let me go?
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
The fish's tail kept slapping against the fish basket, making soft noises. Xiaoyaoyou turned a blind eye to this and was as steady as a mountain. Not long after, another fish came up. This time, Xiaoyaoyou did not release it. He pulled it in as usual, and it was still a golden carp.
A few hours passed, and finally no fish bit the hook anymore. He nodded with satisfaction. It was rare to see fish come to his door on his own initiative.
Returning to Qintian Prison, Xiaoyaoyou handed the fish basket to the waiter and ordered him to make a fish feast. These fish all have dragon blood, and their flesh and blood are rich in spiritual energy. They are a great tonic for ordinary monks, but for As far as leisure travel is concerned, it is just a matter of satisfying one's appetite.
However, not long after he returned to Qintian Prison, an uninvited guest greeted him where he lived.
"Mr. Xiaoyao fishes every day, and today he got a lot of harvest." The soft voice was a bit majestic, which no one dared to ignore.
"Wei Chen has met your Majesty."
"Without ceremony, please go down." Li Waner waved her hand, walked straight into the main hall and sat on the main seat, "I have been busy with state affairs in recent days, and I haven't asked Mr. Xiaoyao for advice for a while. Sir, please don't be surprised."
"Your Majesty has a lot of things to do every day. I am busy with you, so I don't deserve your Majesty's attention." Xiaoyaoyou raised his eyelids and said humbly.
Li Waner understood in her heart that her previous actions had caused resentment in his heart. She stood up and saluted him, and said in a deep voice, "Sir, what you said was wrong. Today's situation has been expected by you. Only now do I know that Mr. He is such a talented person, and my past negligence is my fault. I hope you will give me some advice."
"Your Majesty said something serious. It is the right thing to eat your salary and share your worries." After the words fell, a scent of aroma came from outside the hall. The whole fish feast he had ordered was ready, but it was ignored by the people around Li Waner. You can't get in if you're blocked from outside.
"Let them bring the food in." Li Waner spoke before Xiaoyaoyou could say anything.
Afterwards, the door of the main hall opened, and a waiter slowly entered and placed a banquet. The table was filled with all kinds of fish, and the aroma suddenly filled the entire hall.
