"Bad show?"
Mu Kun twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't say it so harshly. Some of the higher ups support this and some support that. I'm just a little guy and I can't help myself."
"I can't help myself."
Gu Yu took a sip of tea and said: "Two fights during the day, one of them died on one side, they are all outstanding disciples of their own. Although they are not as good as others, they are all because of you. I am quite curious, you are so Are you confident that you can control the Dao Gate?"
"The root is with us, but the root is in them. If you don't want to have a complete Taoism, and the dragon and the tiger are unified, this competition will not be able to be facilitated."
Mu Kun simply sat across from him, poured himself a cup of tea, and chatted sentence by sentence.
"You said control just now. This word is exaggerated. It might as well be management. Our relationship with Daomen is based on strength, resources, the overall situation, and more importantly, people's hearts."
"People's hearts? How do you say it?" Gu Yu asked.
"I'd like to ask you two questions. First, we don't know that the monastery wants to separate from the government, but even if they are relatively independent, will they really become enemies of the government?"
"..."
Gu Yu thought for a while, and replied: "No, but it will help you stabilize the situation."
"Oh, that's right. Because Lu Yuanqing and the others are smart people, it's difficult to cultivate Taoism, but is it difficult to manage the country? Longevity is difficult, so that nearly two billion people can eat enough, have housing, and have a stable society. Is it difficult? No more The government, who will do these things? The Xia Kingdom is in turmoil and split, each occupying the top of the mountain, and has no status in the world. No one wants to see this situation. You can call it a cult. They are happy to create troubled times and usurp power for personal gain. But the Tao This is their thousands of years of concept inheritance.”
Mu Kun paused, and then said: "Second, do you think the common people are willing to rely on them, or are they willing to rely on us?"
"I understand what you mean. There are tens of thousands of people in the world, and there are only a few qualified people. The ordinary people are the majority, and practice cannot be eaten." Gu Yu said.
"That's the reason. You and I have known each other for several years, and we are still friends. Now that we have talked about this, I will chat with you from the bottom of my heart."
Mu Kun stood up, wandered around the room, and sighed: "To be honest, if there is no international environment, we would rather kill the practitioners than leave hidden dangers. But now the global unification has undergone tremendous changes, and people have extraordinary power. We don't, that's just not allowed.
Therefore, the government and the practice community have never been a real life-and-death relationship, but a relationship of coexistence and mutual need.
What we are most worried about now is their self-organized society, a society without law and order, killing people at will, and robbing resources.
We don't want to see the division of the two tiers of society, they must be integrated with it.
In our opinion, practitioners are actually a rare talent. In the early stage, we cultivate and manage... What about the later stage, hehe, who knows in the future? "
Mu Kun talked a lot in a row, with a complicated expression on his face.
"But the class will definitely change." Gu Yu said.
"That's natural. Practitioners will inevitably become the upper class. It is even possible for the upper class to open up doors and recruit a few people to become officials."
"Being an official? This is unreliable. Can a Taoist priest who becomes an official become enlightened?" He shook his head.
The two had an in-depth chat, but Gu Yu actually knew that the other party missed at least one point.
The stability of order cannot be naively relied on monks to be good, and there must be a law enforcement agency. He hasn't seen this thing yet, but he believes that the other party must be prepared.
"Speaking of which, we are also very fortunate that it is Phoenix Mountain, not Shamanism, who is standing in this position." After Mu Kun said that, he changed the subject and started to talk about less sensitive content.
"Heh, we always strive for longevity, but now it's a little different...here!"
Gu Yu threw the sign, and the other party took a look, thought for a while, and said, "This seems to be a symbol of an organization in Britain."
"That's right, it's called the A∴A∴ Association, and it belongs to the Thelema sect. I'm not interested in any sect, I'm interested in the more ancient ones, such as the origin of magic, and the Kabbalah tree of life. This picture is called Solve the riddles, and you can know the mysteries of the universe. This is very interesting. Taoism’s description of the universe and the heaven and the earth is too nihilistic. The West needs to be more realistic and explore a lot. I want to find the answer.” Gu Yu road.
"Well, Britain, Gaul, Germany, and Sicily all have mysterious powers, and they are the strongest. America and Africa also have some witchcraft. The West is in great chaos now, and there is even a practitioner from a small country who has linked up with a political party and has controlled it. The government, we only found out not long ago.”
"What about the country of Sam?" He was curious.
"Ha, when they opened up wasteland, they killed the Indians to the point of extinction, so what power do they have?" Mu Kun said contemptuously.
"..."
Looking at his appearance, Gu Yu knew that there was a plan at the top. Between the two superpowers, there might be many hidden exchanges between the two superpowers.
He looked at the time again, and said, "Okay, I won't disturb your sleep, I'll go elsewhere."
After the words fell, his figure flashed, and he quietly left the room. Mu Kun shook his head and fell asleep.
…
The night is deep and the wind is light.
Gu Yu wandered slowly in Tianshi's mansion, passing through guest rooms. Some didn't respond, and some of them immediately retracted after exploring their spiritual sense, but no one bothered them anyway.
He walked all the way to the inner hall, and saw that Zhang Jintong was still awake, sitting with a sad face.
"How is the heavenly master?"
"Lady Gu!"
Seeing him coming in, Zhang Jintong got excited and hurried forward and said, "You're finally here, it's good that you're here!"
"You still don't rest at this late hour, but are you worried about tomorrow's duel?" He asked with a smile.
"That's right... That Zhang Ziliang is full of tricks, and his talismans are changeable. I'm worried that Shouyang won't be able to handle it."
The old Taoist asked him to sit down, and he was very rude, so he almost said directly, if you are not in a hurry, I can help you.
"Old Heavenly Master, I owe you a favor, so if you open your mouth, even if it is your family matter, I will lose face and I will help you."
Gu Yu blinked and said with a smile: "I said it before, if I make a move, Zhang Ziliang will be like a chicken and a dog. But ascetics are all proud people. Being disturbed by me, Zhang Shouyang's mood is unstable and affects I can't afford to practice or something in the future."
"This this… "
Zhang Jintong sweated, he was a bit of an emergency, and he went to the doctor indiscriminately. He didn't believe 100% that his nephew would win, even if Gu Yu couldn't come, he was going to ask Lu Yuanqing for help.
In the end, it made sense to hear it, and it was indeed a real insult to my nephew.
"Okay, don't worry too much, if something goes wrong, I have my own method."
Gu Yu came here to reassure the other party, and he stopped joking when he saw this, and said comfortingly, "Just sleep well, I'll go first!"
After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves, and his whole body turned into a puff of cloud and disappeared without a trace.
…
The next day, early morning.
Before dawn, the melon-eating crowd rushed to the Shangqing Palace impatiently, intending to seize a favorable position. In the end, they were all dumbfounded: the gates of the entire temple were closed, and they were not even open.
How can this be done? A group of people are clamoring for the other party to come out and give an explanation, but no one responds. Some of the brave ones climbed up the wall and wanted to turn over, but who knew there were special police guards inside.
After several trials, I understood: the wall can be climbed, but the yard cannot be entered.
Ever since, the two rows of walls on the west and south sides were like hanging rice dumplings, densely packed with people riding on them. The rest can only be squeezed outside, quite a scene of the World Cup and concerts.
The location was still in the Eastern Hermitage, the collapsed high platform was cleaned up, and a large square was left without rebuilding. There's no way, I'm afraid that the ultimate move of the two of them will be too powerful.
After a while, everyone came together and took their seats in front of Fumo Temple.
Fortunately, Bai Yu's group got a few seats, and they were complaining on the wall: "That buddy is not authentic, he left as soon as he said, without leaving a word."
"That's right, fortunately nothing was lost, otherwise I would have called the police, and in the future, no one will bring it into the circle."
"He may be in a hurry, as for this?" Bai Yu also said good things.
"What's the rush... Damn it!"
"Look at that, look at that!"
A buddy suddenly pointed to the front of the hall, and a few people looked at it, and almost didn't fall. At the end of the seat, another chair was added at some point, and a guy was sitting there swaggeringly, it was Gu Jiang.
"..."
Instantly stunned, what is the reason for being able to sit on an equal footing with those Taoist masters—although it is the last seat.
Gu Yu felt the attention of his eyes, and it was not easy to look back, so he only chatted with Tan Chongdai who was next to him. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. After the old man changed to the Quanzhen Alchemy, maybe he was too old, maybe he was not talented enough, and his progress was slow.
His body was already at a loss, and with the help of Gu Yu and Xiao Zhai, he only managed to hold on for a few years, but now his vitality was approaching the extreme, and his face showed a strange look of decay and vainness.
"Zhang Shouyang!"
As soon as everyone sat down, they heard an angry reprimand, Zhang Ziliang jumped out first, and said in a gloomy voice, "You and I have a century-old grievance, today it is over, come out and die!"
"It's time to end it."
Zhang Shouyang walked out of the camp and stood in the field. He was not good at verbal warfare, so he only replied lightly.
"Okay, let's get started!"
As soon as they said a word, the two of them both backed away. It was already an endless situation, no nonsense, and they started fighting directly.
"The iron wall is as high as ten thousand feet, invisible in all directions... Go!"
Zhang Shouyang was the first to attack, a puff of black light shot out from his sleeve, and spread out in mid-air, covering the opponent like a net.
This is called the Iron Siege Curse, which can trap the enemy firmly and cannot move.
"Small tricks!"
Zhang Ziliang also took out an ancient bronze seal, which was the Zhenshan Zhuxie seal used when catching ghosts, and it was one of the relatively low-level seals of the Tao of Heavenly Masters.
"Qi, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, all ghosts and gods avoid... town!"
He threw the ancient seal high, and the seal flew into the air, with the face of the seal facing down, as if it had added a weight of tens of thousands of catties. Even though the seal is small, it covers such a large area that it collided with black light with a bang.
After only holding on for a few breaths, the black light collapsed one after another, and the ancient seal continued unabated, with a strong sense of heaviness, it smashed down with a whimper.
Zhang Shouyang wanted to test his power, he kneaded the tactic, and the golden light burst out all over his body, forming a protective shield, and then raised his palms upwards.
boom!
The golden light trembled suddenly, but did not dissipate, while Zhang Shouyang was rushed by the seal, his breath was not disturbed, and he blocked it abruptly.
"Body protection spell? Hmph, I know all about your Longhushan family background!"
Zhang Ziliang didn't take it seriously, put the seal in his hand, and said with a sneer, "You can use it anyway, and let me break it one by one, I want you to be convinced to death!"
