"If you want to distinguish, it is naturally a fairy tale." Taoist Tongtian replied subconsciously.
"So...what happens after the medieval fairy tale?"
"Middle Ages?"
Taoist Tongtian was completely stunned.
Why the Middle Ages? And not now?
How does Yang Gang view this world?
He allowed himself to kill himself with a sword.
And for what purpose?
"Don't ask, don't think. When the time comes, fellow Taoist will understand. Since you no longer care about your cultivation, you might as well listen to me and strike out with a sword that determines the way of swordsmanship. Perhaps in that sword, you can see through the true meaning of swordsmanship. peak."
Yang Gang's smile was a bit mysterious, as if he had seen through many things in the future.
"I……"
Taoist Tongtian fell into deep thought.
"Fellow Taoist, as the pinnacle of swordsmanship throughout the ages, don't you want to take a look at the scenery at the highest point?" Yang Gang's words shocked Tongtian.
He finally raised his head slowly, his expression somewhat inexplicable.
a long time.
Taoist Tongtian changed the topic and suddenly said: "Now that the Emperor of Heaven has returned from chasing the Demon Emperor and obtained the most precious treasure, the East Emperor Bell, no one in the Three Realms can pose a threat to him. And it is said by the outside world that you want to gain the trust of the Emperor of Heaven and stabilize yourself. status, betrayed his own brothers, and ascended to the throne on the body of the Stone Emperor. I wonder what Mr. Yang thinks of the rumors from the outside world?"
"What others think is up to them. I, Yang Gang, stand in the Three Realms not by others, but by my own hands, a sword, and my head. And... I have always had a heart that is worthy of my relatives and friends, and of the world."
Yang Gang turned his back to Tongtian and his voice was extremely calm.
'Be worthy of your relatives and friends, and be worthy of heaven and earth. But not a word about heaven...'
Taoist Tongtian silently savored Yang Gang's words.
Finally nodded slowly, "Okay, I believe you."
I don't know if this word 'believe' is a response to Yang Gang's previous request, or an affirmation of his last unashamed words.
After Taoist Tongtian finished speaking, he turned around and left the Judiciary God's Hall with the long sword on his back.
Then his body turned into a sword light and fled towards the fairy mountain in the lower world.
But the originally dim sword light seemed to have a bit of strange vitality.
"The last step is finally settled."
Yang Gang stood silently in the study, exhaled a long breath, and felt a big stone falling to the ground in his heart.
The days that followed.
Heaven began to develop rapidly.
More and more immortals are ascending from the lower world and ranking among the immortals. Buddhism's eastward march was also in full swing, rapidly encroaching on the survival soil of the Immortal Way in the Tang Dynasty.
However, the Immortal Way has been developing in the Three Realms for many years and has penetrated into every part of the world.
If Buddhism wants to become completely powerful overnight, it needs a major event that affects the three realms.
'Things' are called 'potential'.
The struggle for orthodoxy is not the same as the struggle for force.
Buddhism has established a firm foothold in heaven, but to overtake the immortal way in the earthly world, it still needs a 'wind' that leads the wave of the three realms.
Ever since.
A 'Journey to the West' began to brew slowly in heaven and Buddhism.
In the blink of an eye, it was the thirteenth year of Zhenguan.
This year seems like a turning point in fate.
The Stone Emperor was still suppressed at the foot of Two Realms Mountain. Yang Gang still has not found the entrance to the sea of suffering, and lives in seclusion in heaven. Nezha is hiding in XZ in the Three Realms, hiding his name and struggling to survive.
Also in this year.
The Buddhist envoys went to Luojia Mountain outside the South China Sea to look for the real person Cihang who was hiding in the world to avoid disaster.
He also brought the Buddha's decree and decreed that Cihang be named the Great Merciful and the Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, restoring his ancient name and helping Buddhism open up an era of great controversy.
When Master Cihang saw the words in the Buddha's decree, "Go west to Lingshan Mountain to obtain the Mahayana Sutra...", he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Didn't you say that the Journey to the West will not begin?"
"I trust you so much. I thought everything had nothing to do with me. Why do I want to get involved in the disputes in the three realms again?"
"Worship the Buddha and suppress the Tao, what kind of cause and effect is this... If I agree, the path of millions of years will be destroyed in one day. If I don't..." Master Cihang thought of the Jade Emperor who has come to dominate the three realms, and thought of the magical power that is gradually approaching the Emperor of Heaven. Tathagata Buddha.
I couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"Yang Jun, please tell me how to have both ends this time?"
——
It is said that since the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Tang Dynasty has inherited the legacy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although there is no longer the possibility of thousands of immortals coming to court in the past, there is a scene of peace for all ages.
therefore.
After the separation of humans and gods, the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, and there are no more worries about the past in the world.
But this day.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty suddenly issued a conscription order.
It is only said that there is a strange demon rising in the north, and it is necessary to recruit troops as a reserve for the heaven to eliminate worries for the three realms. But those who can make meritorious deeds will be exempted from all crimes and punishments.
The implication is that it sounds like a general amnesty for the world.
When the people heard the news, they were very happy.
In this era of peace and prosperity, this is a great opportunity to make achievements!
There were immediate responses, and within half a month three million people were recruited.
At the same time, there was another edict issued, which was a recruitment list, saying: From now on, all states and counties, regardless of military or civilian personnel, but those who are scholars and Confucian scholars, are determined to make progress, have clear literary meanings, and are proficient in the three fields, will go to Shengjing takes the exam and selects talented people to be appointed officials.
This combination of civil and military skills demonstrates the sage's righteousness.
Obviously, in the eyes of a certain supreme being, in addition to Buddha and Tao, there is also a path that exists at a lower level but is more in line with the wishes of the ruler.
Thanks to Yang Gang’s previous new legal policy.
Over the years, talents have emerged in large numbers in the world, and there are signs that everyone is like a dragon, and the people's wisdom is opening up.
Therefore, it was not difficult for the Tang Dynasty to recruit these talented civil and military personnel.
After three million troops had been training for three months and heading outside the northern region, the civil examinations in the Tang Dynasty were also in full swing.
History seems to have reached a strange corner again.
Northland.
When a middle-aged man with disheveled hair and half-white hair looked sour and smelly, he couldn't help but look blank when he saw the densely packed army in the distance.
"You, you, you...and you, you seem to have some strength. You have all been requisitioned and will go with the army to the outside world to perform corvee work." An officer waved his whip at the people working in the ice and snow. Wait shouted.
"My lord, my lord, we..."
"Do not talk nonsense."
The officer slashed his whip and said, "It is decreed by the Holy One that anyone who builds work outside the territory will be exempted from guilt by meritorious deeds. The opportunity to turn over is right in front of you. Go. Or not?"
"Go! Go! Go!"
"Let's go!"
"Thank you, sir, thank you, Master Jun!"
Everyone was overjoyed.
Those who can be assigned to Beizhang have all committed serious crimes in the past, or they have offended people who should not be offended. Now that they have the name of the Holy One, they immediately see the hope of reviving their lives.
in the corner.
The middle-aged man who was full of sour smell couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Go back...I must go back!"
"Isn't fighting what I, Li Jin, do best? Even if I don't have any strength, I can definitely do it!"
