Xiang Qingniu's eyes widened when he saw Zhang Yiyang appearing. Although he sent an invitation, he thought Zhang Yiyang would not come. Now that this old guy suddenly appeared in Chang'an City, Xiang Qingniu suddenly thought of the time when they fought Zhang Yiyang in the southwest.
If Xiao Yijiu hadn't happened to come that time, they would not have been Zhang Yiyang's opponents together.
Or feeling Xiang Qingniu's gaze, Zhang Yiyang raised his head and glanced at the private room on the third floor, just in time to see Xiang Qingniu's expression with his mouth wide open.
This old man of unknown age raised his hand and waved towards Xiang Qingniu. This is the attitude of an old man when he sees the younger generation at home, and it is wonderful to match Zhang Yiyang's expression of you not coming down and calling him uncle. Xiang Qingniu suddenly felt a little annoyed, looked back at Fang Jie, and said that if he couldn't beat him, I would go down and pluck his beard right now.
In any case, Fang Xie couldn't turn a blind eye to the arrival of Daoist Zhang from the Sanqing Temple of Wudang Mountain.
Before Fang Jie went downstairs, the Taoist named Liu Sanduo had already walked downstairs. He had been looking downstairs. Obviously he knew that Zhang Yiyang was coming, but neither Fang Jie nor Xiang Qingniu paid attention.
"Master."
Liu Sanduo came down from the third floor and bowed in a respectful manner.
"Get up, it's hard work for you to bear the name of Sanqing Temple here alone, but the kid surnamed Fang is quite reasonable, and he didn't arrange you on the bottom floor."
Zhang Yiyang waved his hand: "Go to Tong'an Inn, your master and the others are here too. You don't have to worry about this matter today, your master will tell you what to prepare after you go back. Since Fang Jie intends to integrate Taoism, then Wudang Mountain Naturally, it cannot be excluded. It’s not that I want to fight for something, it’s that my position of the Three Cleans is already there.”
"With Master's words, I feel relieved."
Liu Sanduo chuckled, revealing two rows of white teeth: "The people of Wudang Mountain Sanqing Temple have never gone down the mountain, and there are almost no legends about your old man in the rivers and lakes. This is not good. Now everyone in Taoism Knowing that Dao Zun is Xiang Qingniu with a single-minded view, he forgot that even in terms of seniority, he has to call you uncle."
"Go."
Zhang Yiyang obviously doesn't like this kind of topic: "I let you take the first step because you are tactful and careful in doing things, but if your mind is always on these things, it will be difficult to improve your cultivation. One prerequisite for being a Daoist is to cultivate In order to be tall enough, with your cultivation level, you can't even catch a single move in front of Xiang Qingniu, why do you think so much?"
Liu Sanduo smiled mischievously, and bowed to leave.
"The Daoist has come all the way, so why don't you send someone to make a prophetic announcement?"
Xiang Qingniu came down from upstairs to say hello with a smile: "It seems that I am very rude."
Zhang Yiyang rolled his eyes at him: "Since when have you and your senior brother surnamed Xiao been polite?"
"Don't say that, Xiao Yijiu's impoliteness is due to his personal quality, and my impoliteness is pure slander."
Xiang Qingniu made a gesture of invitation, and then pulled his throat and said: "The Yanzi Tower is full of juniors of the Taoist sect. The reason why I say this is because the Wudang Mountain Sanqing Temple advocates that real people have arrived. You don't care about people." If you don’t know each other, you should come down and greet seniors.”
This voice startled everyone, and it was heard that Master Zhang from Wudang Mountain had arrived, which immediately caused an uproar. You must know that there are thousands of Taoist temples in the Central Plains, all of which respect the Taoist ancestors, but the ones that can really affect the world are the Qingle Mountain One Qi Temple and Wudang Mountain Sanqing Temple. Xiao Yijiu is a godly dragon who sees the beginning but does not see the end. He is in the rivers and lakes, but there is no trace of him in the rivers and lakes. Zhang Yiyang seldom goes out in the Taoist temple, but there have never been rumors about him in the world.
"I've seen real people."
Fang Jie bowed slightly to salute.
"You shouldn't have saluted me."
Zhang Yiyang shook his head: "In terms of seniority, although you can barely be said to be Yang Qi's disciple, Yang Qi is not a member of the Taoist sect. Among the four disciples under Senior Wan's seat, only Xiao Yijiu and this little fat man belong to the Taoist sect." People. In terms of secular status, you are now a prince. In terms of friendship... There is no friendship between you and me. I talked with you once in the northwest, which can be regarded as old acquaintance. Later in the southwest, I made a move, although not I want to kill you, but this old acquaintance has long been broken."
"That's about age."
Fang Jie smiled: "Master, this reason is enough."
Zhang Yiyang laughed loudly: "You are always like this, and you will never change your mind just because of what others say."
"The real person may have forgotten. The real person once called me in the northwest. Those words were very important to me. Maybe the real person forgot what he said, but the love of the call is greater than the revenge of the shot."
Zhang Yiyang frowned: "Did I call you?"
He thought for a while before he thought: "At that time, I saw that you were an interesting young man with a quick mind, so I thought that there would be no great success in the future, so I chatted with you for a while, I was fishing for my python by the well, you go away Your life path. If what I said at that time touched your heart, it would be a crooked attack. There is no mystery. At that time, I thought that your achievements could probably catch up with Li Xiao, but I didn’t expect that your thoughts were bigger than Li Xiao’s. too much."
"I am a special person."
Fang Jie smiled and said: "I will remember more clearly when others treat me well. If they treat me badly, I simply forget it. If they keep treating me badly, avoid them."
"What if it can't be avoided?"
Zhang Yiyang said: "Why do I feel that what you say is not credible at all?"
Fang Jie seemed to be smiling more happily: "Because I can't beat you now, so I definitely say avoid it. If I can beat you, I will definitely beat you... Before that, I have to behave Very gentle and mellow."
Zhang Yiyang rolled his eyes at him: "You mean, I have influenced your life course?"
"This one really doesn't exist."
Fang Jie recalled the old man named Wan Xingchen and the four limericks he once told himself.
The sentence that decides the south, decides the north and decides the east has really had a great impact on him. Compared with Wan Xingchen, Zhang Yiyang said that nothing can be compared. A crooked poem by Mr. Wan made Fang Xie puzzled for a long time. If Wan Xingchen is not a god, then it can only be said that there are too many coincidences.
Now he has Chen Dingnan, Du Dingbei, Nalan Dingdong, and a new Song Dingxi... plus Cui Zhongzhen who changed his name, is this really a coincidence or God's will
"Not to mention the other side, I'm here because of Daozong."
Zhang Yiyang and the Taoist temple masters looked at Fang Jie after seeing the ceremony: "It is a good thing for you to integrate the Taoist sect, but it is not a good thing to integrate the Taoist sect at this time. If one day the rivers and lakes wither, you will bear such a big sin." rise?"
Fang Jie was startled, and subconsciously looked at Zhang Yiyang.
He wanted to integrate Daozong's mind, but Zhang Yiyang saw it so thoroughly.
…
…
In the private room, Zhang Yiyang glanced at Fang Jie and said, "Leave aside the previous grievances between you and me, you don't need to thank me for anything, you can also bear grudges against me, and I will put all these in the future. What I want to know now is that you integrate Daozong Thoughts after that. I guess, you probably want to use the power of the rivers and lakes to calm the chaos and stabilize the world."
Fang Jie also has nothing to hide: "Yes, now that a strong enemy is in front of me, without the assistance of Jianghu forces, I have no confidence in defeating the strong enemy with the strength of the Black Banner Army alone. Even if I can, after defeating the Mongolian people and foreigners , our Black Banner Army will definitely lose its strength, and when other forces in the Central Plains take advantage of the situation, the situation will definitely be difficult to deal with."
Zhang Yiyang asked: "But have you ever thought about how weak the power of the world will become after these two wars? The Buddhist sect on the grassland is not as simple as it seems on the surface. The one in white did not come back after traveling west. He If such a cultivation level cannot be returned, what kind of secrets are hidden in the Buddhist sect? If the practitioners of the Buddhist sect in the Mongolian army and the practitioners of the Central Plains fight, how many people will survive?"
"After these people are alive, they will follow you to the eastern border to fight against foreigners. As far as I know, foreigners have some special firearms that can penetrate a practitioner's inner strength. Even a great practitioner cannot stop them. Firearms are dead , It can be rebuilt if it is damaged. If a person dies, can he be resurrected? It takes at least ten years for a cultivator to achieve success. Once practitioners join the war in large numbers, it will be a catastrophe for the world."
Fang Jie shook his head: "If practitioners do not participate in the war, it will be a catastrophe for the world."
Fang Jie asked, "Have you ever thought about it, if the foreigners conquer the Central Plains, what will be the first thing to do?"
After Zhang Yiyang was silent for a while, a strange look suddenly flashed in his eyes: "Slaughter practitioners?"
Fang Jie nodded: "Once the foreigners occupy the Central Plains, the first thing they will do is to kill the practitioners. There are indeed firearms among the foreigners that can kill practitioners, but the number of such things is definitely not many. It is only equipped around important foreign generals. I suspect that it is the special power of meteorites. Meteorites are extraterrestrial things. Even if foreigners collect a lot, there is a limit after all. There is still this meteorite, kill as many practitioners as possible."
"Meteorite?"
Zhang Yiyang was not very clear about what Fang Jie said.
"right."
Fang Jie nodded: "I have fought against foreign mages before. On the surface, it seems that the methods used by foreign mages are not much different from those of practitioners. The biggest difference is that practitioners rely on their own cultivation. To change the environment of the world, the mage relies on the special power of meteorites. Before attacking the Central Plains, Leman must have learned about the practitioners in the Central Plains in detail, so he thought of this method. He also found a meteorite that can break through the inner strength of the practitioners. It is then made into ammunition for firearms."
Zhang Yiyang nodded: "If that's the case, it makes sense."
Fang Jie continued: "Therefore, there are not many weapons that can really hurt practitioners, and they are concentrated around those foreigners. On the battlefield, they don't have so many precious meteorite bullets to use. I can't say the word catastrophe. Rebuttal, many practitioners are bound to die in this battle. But if you endure it, after the foreign troops invade the Central Plains, they will gradually wipe out the practitioners. At that time, it will be much more difficult for the practitioners to unite and resist. times?"
Zhang Yiyang was silent for a long time, then sighed: "What if you lose?"
Fang Jie sat up straight and said seriously: "If I lose, practitioners will really face a catastrophe."
Zhang Yiyang couldn't help thinking of what the man in white said to him when he left Wudang Mountain. The man in white told him not to care about so many world affairs, and it was enough to guard Wudang Mountain. The man in white also said that day that this time is a disaster for the Jianghu of the Central Plains, but the disaster cannot be avoided, it can only be faced. Zhang Yiyang never understood why the man in white asked him to guard Wudang Mountain, but now he suddenly understood after listening to Fang Jie's words.
This is not a war of one person, the whole world has to face it. The reason why the man in white asked him to guard Wudang Mountain was precisely because in case of defeat, with him guarding Wudang Mountain, he could leave a glimmer of hope for the world.
Maybe, I shouldn't come this time
Zhang Yiyang couldn't help asking himself.
He doesn't know the answer.
Looking at Fang Xie's solemn face, he suddenly felt that his vision was not as good as that of the young man in front of him. He thought that what he saw from a high place was farther than most people, but today, he found that what this young man saw was farther than himself.
"Will the rivers and lakes be destroyed?"
He murmured.
"Won't."
Fang Jie shook his head, his tone was very light but extraordinarily strong: "It may be inevitable for one kind of development to replace another, but replacement does not mean elimination. We decide how to develop our world, not what foreigners say. The final decision. Therefore, this battle must be won. Only when we win, we are the ones who make the decision."
