(Seven thousand words.)
Song Jiao knew very well that what Li Ye said was entirely possible.
Now that Li Ye has made great achievements, there are quite a few people who are jealous. Among other things, if Tian Lingzi had the opportunity to slander, he would never give up. If the situation really develops as Li Ye said, then Tian Lingzi will first slander Li Ye for rebellion, and then it will be tantamount to setting Li Ye and Ping Lujun on fire.
Although Li Yan trusted Li Ye and regarded Li Ye as a brother, but Li Yan was an emperor, Song Jiao hardly had to think about what kind of situation Li Ye would face at that time.
In the worst case, Li Ye would be jealous of the king and envious of his subordinates, even if he had great achievements, even if he had an army of one hundred thousand, wouldn't the situation be the same as that of Li Xian back then
After a while, Shangguan Qingcheng arrived.
"Your Highness, Shangguan Qingcheng is waiting for your order!" After Shangguan Qingcheng entered the door, Ling Ran clasped her fists. She was wearing silver armor, and with the movement of her hand, the sound of iron armor rings rang out one after another. It was indescribably pleasant. She was born beautiful, with a white face and red lips. , at this moment with the armor on his body, he is even more heroic.
Li Ye stood up and came to Shangguan Qingcheng. Before he could say anything, he stared for a while.
The general Yinjia in front of him is one of Li Ye's most trusted people, but now, an order from him may push her into the flames. But with an army of one hundred thousand and hundreds of good generals, Li Ye has the highest trust in her, so she can only entrust such important tasks to her.
Li Ye asked solemnly, "Is the general afraid of death?"
Shangguan Qingcheng said without hesitation: "Your Highness will die, or die generously!"
"Okay!" Li Ye's eyebrows and eyes were like swords, "Shangguan Qingcheng obeys orders!"
"The end is here!" Shangguan Qingcheng's voice was loud.
Li Ye stared at her and said: "I order you to lead the Spikes with three thousand horses, and travel day and night to Fengxiang to meet your Majesty when he returns to the capital!"
"The last general takes orders!" Shangguan Qingcheng agreed with a bang, without a second word, not even a question.
Li Ye held her clenched hand: "If reinforcements don't arrive for a long time, is the general willing to fight to the death?"
Shangguan Qingcheng's eyes are like snow-capped mountains, clear and cold: "The last general will not die, and the military orders will not stop!"
Li Ye took a deep breath: "Start now!"
"Yes!" Shangguan Qingcheng retreated under the command, went to the door, turned around, and strode away, step by step, knowing that there was a sea of swords and flames in front of him, he was still impassioned.
Song Jiao suddenly lost her mind: "Such a good general, you are willing to let her die?"
Li Ye returned to the main seat, but did not sit down. He flicked his sleeves and put his hands behind his back: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while, the country is in danger, the overall situation is worrying, if the soldiers don't die, who will die?"
Song Jiao was speechless.
She couldn't speak for a long time, because she saw the aura of gold and iron horse from Li Ye. At this moment, facing one person, she seemed to be on the battlefield.
Sunshine spread out at Li Ye's feet, and he ordered: "Order Liu Dazheng to lead 30,000 elite soldiers, go west to Fengxiang, meet Langya Capital, and welcome His Majesty back to the court!"
...
Fengxiang.
A monk entered Fengxiang.
Fengxiang, governing Fengxiang Mansion. Outside the Fucheng, there are many people walking on the official road. There is a group of monks, about twenty people, lined up, nodding their heads.
The monks are all dressed in cassocks, holding a ring with one hand, lowering their eyebrows and keeping their eyes down, walking along the side of the road. The head, with white eyebrows as long as willow branches, hangs on the side of the face, with kind eyes and solemn expression.
People walking on the official road, when they saw this group of monks, they all looked sideways with curiosity. Occasionally, someone would point and point, and talk about it, as if they saw ghosts and ghosts, and they were worth commenting on.
In broad daylight, there are naturally no monsters, and there have never been monsters in Huanghuang Shenzhou. If there are monsters, they are also artificial monsters, and people who are monsters are not monks.
There was an old woman who fell down the side of the road and couldn't get up for a while. A famous woman next to her hurriedly helped her up. Seeing the old woman's eyes closed, she couldn't help panicking.
The monk stopped in front of the wailing woman who was holding the old woman in her arms, and more than ten people walked in unison. The head monk with white eyebrows stopped, and the last monk who was walking stopped at the same time.
"Amitabha. Don't panic, let the poor monk take a look." The white-browed monk squatted in front of the old woman, reaching out to grab her wrist.
The woman's face was full of tears, and she was uncertain, but when she saw that it was a monk, she looked hopeful, and hurriedly said: "Mother suffers from a serious illness, which has been delayed for more than a month, but the family is destitute and has no money to seek medical treatment. Today, my mother suddenly fell ill. I'm afraid Time is running out..."
Speaking of this, she looked up to the sky and wept bitterly: "God, my whole family, I have never done evil, and often did good deeds in my whole life, why did I end up like this!"
The woman looked up to the sky and cried bitterly, and passers-by were all moved when they saw it. Some people sighed, some were resentful, some were sad, their expressions were all different, and there were many people who stopped and watched.
"Don't panic, benefactor." The white-browed monk comforted again, and let go of the old woman's wrist, his brows became more kind and kind, "Let's see again, benefactor, how is Lingtang?"
At this time, the old woman woke up slowly, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she stood up, full of energy, not to mention that she looked like a sick person, and she had the spirit of a dragon and a horse.
The woman quickly asked, "Mother, how do you feel?"
The old woman said: "It seems that the pain of the disease has disappeared, and the pain is completely gone. I still feel very energetic and can work in the fields!"
The woman wept with joy, and hurriedly explained the reason, and the two bowed down to the white-browed monk, expressing their gratitude.
The white-browed monk helped the two of them up, and said Amitabha, with a solemn and holy expression: "It is my duty to save the suffering and the needy, and the benefactor must not perform such a great gift."
Passers-by along the road saw this scene, and they all admired the monk's skills, and were also shocked by the monk's fraternity and benevolence. Some people even applauded loudly for these monks who had never met before.
Saying goodbye to the old woman and the woman, the white-browed monk led the team into Fengxiang Mansion City, walked through the bustling streets, and finally arrived at the Jiedushi Mansion.
In front of the Jiedu envoy's mansion, there was already someone waiting, and it was Li Changyan's son, Li Qilin. When he saw this group of monks dressed in cassocks, he quickly greeted them down the stone steps, bowed and saluted, "The military commander has been waiting for you masters for a long time, please follow me."
The white-browed monk clasped his hands together and followed him into the mansion, passing through countless corridors and paths, and finally entered a clean courtyard. Fengxiang Jiedu envoy Li Changyan came out to greet him, and personally welcomed the monk into the house.
The white-browed monk entered the house alone, and the rest were in the courtyard, standing in two rows, not looking sideways, but a strong aura emanated from it. Seeing the sentries in the bright and dark places, I felt great pressure from the other party, and almost couldn't breathe smoothly, and I was secretly frightened. There are no masters in the middle level of Qi training here, but facing these monks, every one of them looks like a mouse. Like a cat.
In the room, the maid served tea and pastries, and bowed to leave. Li Changyan had a friendly attitude and was very respectful. After exchanging greetings for a while, he went straight to the topic: "How many people did the master bring?"
The white-browed monk said: "Here comes the poor monk, bringing with him one hundred and eight monks."
Li Changyan was slightly startled, and a look of disappointment flashed across his eyes: "One hundred and eight?"
The white-browed monk said unhurriedly: "The poor monk has one hundred and eight people with him, which is enough to fight against thousands of troops."
Li Changyan was shocked and moved: "Really?"
The white-browed monk lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes: "Monks don't tell lies."
Li Changyan was immediately excited: "Okay! Then there will be Master Lao this time! If this happens, Shimen will be the Fengxiang state religion!"
The white-browed monk said calmly, "Why talk about state religion in a town?"
After a while, the white-browed monk and the others left the other courtyard. Li Changyan arranged for people to take them to rest, while he sat in the room and meditated.
After a while, Li Qilin came to Li Changyan and asked in a low voice, "Father, are these monks really useful?"
Li Changyan smiled deeply: "Is it useful, haven't you already seen it?"
Li Qilin was silent. Seeing this group of monks, he also felt great pressure, but he himself was already at the middle stage of Qi training.
Li Qilin tentatively said: "Father, although these monks have good cultivation, but if we want to hold His Majesty hostage, Fengxiang Army is enough, why use these outsiders?"
Li Changyan glanced at him lightly, and said unceremoniously: "Short-sighted. You can only see the present, but you can't see the future. It is true that the power of the father is unparalleled, but it must be feared and admired by the people. , the soldiers are so loyal, can they really just hold the emperor hostage?"
Li Qilin was startled, not knowing why.
Li Changyan continued: "Of course not. The world is in chaos. This is a world of great contention. If I want to win the Central Plains and unify the world, how can I just hold the emperor hostage? What I want is for the hearts of the people to obey and the soldiers to die! That's all. It is possible for Fang to dominate the world. To do this quickly, you have to rely on the power of the Shimen. What is the Shimen? It is a means of controlling people's hearts!"
After a pause, Li Changyan snorted coldly, and said to himself: "The teachings of Shimen are nothing more than two points. One is to guide people to be good, and the other is to respect the Buddha. The king rules the world, and the people govern the place. The most important thing is What? It’s nothing more than two points, one is orderly, and the other is loyalty to the emperor.”
"In today's world, people's hearts are in turmoil, thieves are rampant, and soldiers are everywhere. Is this what the Lord wants to see? Only when the jurisdiction is stable and there is no trouble, can the Lord's rule be stable and manpower and material resources can be gathered for the Lord to use."
"I got the help of Shimen, let the monastery spread over the territory, let the monks spread the teachings, so that the people can be good. Shimen pays attention to enduring the suffering of this life in order to seek blessings in the next life. Who believes this? What the Lord needs, the reason why the Shimen have such teachings is also their cleverness."
"Let the people be willing to suffer, then I will pay a lot of taxes, and the people will not resist, and I get more taxes, which can be used as military funds in wartime, and can be enjoyed freely in peacetime. Isn't it beautiful? Let the people do good, and they will be happy." Don’t become thieves and rebels, create chaos and kill people, so the order of the world will be stable.”
"People who convert to Buddhism will fear Buddha. They worship Buddha every day. Is it Buddha? Where is Buddha? Those who really understand the teachings of Buddhism will know that one thought of doing good is Buddha, and one thought of sudden enlightenment is Buddha. Buddha, everyone can be a Buddha. Buddhism pays attention to the equality of all living beings, since all living beings are equal, and the Buddha is equal to the common people, why do they want the common people to kneel down and worship them?"
"In the final analysis, what all living beings worship is not the Buddha, but strength and power! Just imagine, once the people believe in the Buddha and respect the Buddha, then the commander will let Shimen say that I am the reincarnation of the Buddha, so who will not fight for me? Where I want to fight, they will fight there. Whoever comes to fight me, they will rise up to protect! This is what I want, and the people will be loyal to me!"
Speaking of this, Li Changyan looked at Li Qilin, "Do you understand?"
Li Qilin broke out in cold sweat: "Son understands, father is using Shimen."
Li Changyan chuckled, "No, you don't understand."
In a quiet small courtyard, all the monks are in their rooms, meditating separately.
In the main room, the white-browed monk was drinking tea. In front of him stood a young monk who was asking him for advice: "Master, the Buddhist monk wants to go out to the world, broadcast teachings, and build monasteries. Grace, let the people sincerely believe in it, why do you want to help that Li Changyan this time?"
The white-browed monk slowly put down his tea bowl, looked at the young monk, who was his most proud disciple, and asked slowly: "Do you think that the Buddhist sect needs to prosper, build monasteries, spread teachings widely, and rely on helping the people?" , let the people believe in it?"
The young monk was startled: "Isn't it?"
"Of course not." The white-browed monk said.
"What do you rely on?"
"It is the support of the king, the people who rule the world, give us the property to build temples, and give us the qualification to spread teachings!"
The young monk didn't know why, and seemed extremely surprised.
The white-browed monk sighed and said slowly: "You have to remember that there is only one master in this world, and he controls everything in the world. This person is the emperor, the ruler of power, and the ruler of the common people. Whether it is Shimen, It’s still a Taoist school, if you want to build a temple, you must first get the consent of the king. If the king doesn’t approve of you, no matter how good your teachings are, he can use various names to wipe you out.”
"If the king approves of you, there will be countless temples in the world with just one imperial decree. Since the Buddhist sect was passed on to the east, several times of great prosperity, whether it is a large temple or a wide range of disciples, it is all because of the support of the king. Once the king restrains the Buddha , destroy the Buddha, and the Shimen will suffer.”
The young monk wondered: "Isn't Shimen a born person, why are there so many conflicts of interests?"
The white-browed monk sneered and said: "How can there be people who are born in the world? If the Shimen is really a sect that is born out of the world, how will the world know the existence of the Shimen? Isn't this a contradiction? After all, the Shimen is to be carried forward in the world, born in the world, If you die in the secular world, there is no such thing as being born out of this world."
The young monk thought for a while and said, "That's why Master will help Li Changyan this time?"
Baimei Taoist said: "It's just that everyone takes what they need. The Shimen is useful to the king, and the king will naturally support it. Once the Shimen is harmful to the country, the wise king will restrain it."
The young monk said in amazement: "Then we have become tools of others?"
The white-browed monk said: "Isn't Li Changyan a tool for us to spread the teachings and prosper the Buddhist sect? When the world's Buddhist sects flourish and their power reaches a certain level, it may not be certain whether the king or the Buddhist sects are in charge of the world."
The young monk seemed to realize something: "So we are using Li Changyan?"
The white-browed monk said: "It's just for mutual use."
The young monk said indignantly, "How can we be exploited by others?"
The white-browed monk said solemnly: "Remember, any sect in the world, any doctrine, only those in power think it can exist and be useful to themselves, it will exist, otherwise it will not exist. Even if it exists, it will provoke the people in power If you’re not happy, you can be wiped out if you take off the hat of any evil sect! If Shimen is to prosper, it must be useful to those in power, otherwise, there will be no soil for survival!”
The young monk was stunned and didn't know what to say. He seemed a little scared, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing his appearance, the white-browed monk sighed: "You have to understand that there are only two kinds of people in all living beings, one is the one who uses others, and the other is the one who is used by others. The difference is that some people have both. , then you can achieve a career. And many stupid people can only be people who are simply being used."
"They either ask for something or are afraid of something, so they believe in the teachings and use their hard-earned money to support Shimen, and they become people who are used by Shimen. They expect Shimen to protect them and give them money and blessings." Prosperity and peace of mind. The more ruthless the ruler, the more suffering the people suffer, the more they will seek the protection of Shimen.”

"And with the spiritual sustenance of Shimen, the people will not cause chaos, and those in power can sit back and relax! But in fact, if Shimen was really so capable, wouldn't it have dominated the world long ago? How could this be the situation now? But you also have to understand that if the Shimen is to prosper, they must rely on these ignorant people to support us!"
...
Yanmen army camp.
Li Ke stared at Huiming with piercing eyes: "So, Shimen has sent people to Fengxiang under the guise of helping Li Changyan, but in fact it is for..."
He felt unbelievable, and when he said this, he stopped, unable to say the following words for a while.
Huiming said calmly: "That's right, it's just to kill King An!"
Li Keyong's thoughts were confused, and he couldn't figure it out for a while: "King An sits in Chang'an, with one hundred thousand Pinglu troops by his side, how could he go to Fengxiang?"
Huiming said indifferently: "Your Majesty is in trouble, how can he not go? If there is only Fengxiang, King An can only send part of the trilogy, but with Shimen as a hindrance, only a part of the army is not enough. And King An He had to leave a part of the army to garrison Chang'an, so in the end he had to go himself."
Li Keyong thought about it, and soon he figured it out, but he was still a little worried: "Wang An's cultivation is extremely high, and a few days ago, he was even promoted to the realm of real people... He practiced Qi at the ninth level. At that time, he was able to kill a real person, but now he is promoted to a real person in Lingchi, who can do anything to win him?"
Huiming didn't look sideways and said: "One person can't do anything, what about a hundred people? One hundred people can't do anything, what about the power of pouring out the door?"
Li Keyong was shocked when he heard the back: "The power of releasing the door?"
Huiming said calmly: "In addition to those who have already arrived in Fengxiang, Juexiao Temple and other eighteen major temples in the north, and thirty-six temples including Jinguang Temple in the Western Regions, have gathered dozens of people from the Vajra Realm to bring the six reincarnation formations of the Shimen, and Eight hundred monk regiments are rushing to Fengxiang! My sect is spread all over the world, and I have a profound background. All the masters come out, and the strongest methods are born together. The commander said, can you kill a Li Ye?"
At the end of the sentence, although Huiming still looked calm, there was a sonorous air and supreme majesty in his tone of voice.
Li Keyong was even more shocked, almost dumbfounded: "Eighteen temples in the north, thirty-six temples in the Western Regions, dozens of Vajra Realm, 800 monk regiments, six reincarnation formations... such strength, coupled with a A large army is more than enough to destroy the country! All the power of the world to kill Li Ye, how is this... different from killing a chicken with a sledgehammer? Is it really worth it?"
Huiming said lightly: "As long as you can kill, it's worth it."
"Why?"
Huiming said: "Because he blocked the way of the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief can't solve it! For the future of the commander-in-chief, Shimen must do this. Before, we have always underestimated Li Ye too lightly, but now, it is It's time to end this mistake."
Li Ke was speechless for a while.
After a long time, he said with a complicated expression, "Is Li Ye really that powerful?"
Huiming's voice was mixed with the meaning of killing: "Shimen Buddha's eyes see the past, the present, and the future, but he can't see through Li Ye alone. He is not in the six realms, his luck is not in the three realms, and his destiny is not in the world." On the grinding wheel of reincarnation, such an existence has never been seen or heard of!"
"Furthermore, he himself has a high level of cultivation. The Pinglu Army under his command doesn't even dare to claim victory, and now he has made great achievements. His reputation is more important than that in the world, and the people of the world are admiring him! If such a person is allowed to leave Guanzhong , is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain."
"In time, the general situation of the world will change. When he ascends to the top, the world's heroes, people with lofty ideals, and hot-blooded sons will surely gather! At that time, those who kill him will not be able to kill him, and the army that defeats him will not be easily defeated. How to deal with the military commander? Do you want to hand over the world to others? Do you want to crawl at the feet of this son, begging to live on?!"
Huiming stood up, flicked his wide sleeves, and walked back and forth in the tent. His brows and eyes were full of murderous intent, and his expression ran counter to calm.
Li Keyong has known him for many years, and this is the first time he has seen him like this.
Huiming said in a loud voice: "The world is in chaos, and luck is scattered. This is a world of great contention! Whoever can control luck, who can aspire to the Central Plains, and achieve great things, will be able to control the luck of the world. The gods and immortals can be sealed at the top, and the peace can be secured at the bottom." State rule!"
"In a world of great strife, order does not exist, the old world has collapsed, and the new world has not yet been established. This is the time for us to make great achievements. Shimen was introduced to Shenzhou from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it has not been revealed to the world for hundreds of years. I have been squeezed out by Taoist sects everywhere, and now, how can my Shi sect not win the world's luck and become the master of Shenzhou?"
He turned and stared at Li Keyong: "Since the history of China, the emperors have all come from the Han people. Doesn't the military commander want to enter China, as the king of Shatuo, become the king of China, control Jiuzhou, and control the world?!"
Li Keyong looked at Huiming who was standing in front of him like Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi, his eyes were dumbfounded.
Huiming flicked his sleeves and stood with his hands behind his back, proudly boundless, as if looking down on the world, "Eighteen temples in the north, thirty-six temples in the Western Regions, dozens of diamond realms, eight hundred monk regiments, and six reincarnation formations. It is true that you want to kill Li Ye. It’s like killing chickens with a sledgehammer.”
"However, the purpose of Shimen's trip is to go out of the world, help the commander-in-chief dominate the Nine Continents, unify the land of China, and become the supreme emperor! And these powers are the magic weapon for the commander-in-chief to compete in the world. A great gift from Shimen to the military commander. With this magical soldier in hand, why worry about the world being injustice, isn’t the throne easy to come by?!”
Huiming stood tall, furious.
Li Ke rose up with a strong attack, and finally no longer pretended to be surprised, and no longer concealed his ambitions, "Okay! With the help of the master and the full assistance of Shimen, my army is bound to be able to sweep the world and wipe out Jiuzhou !"
...
The hinterland of Zhongnan Mountain.
The place where the Zhongnan Mountain Taoist Gate is located.
Outside the Zixiao Temple, there is a Changhong falling to the ground.
"Zhang Daoyou, don't come here without any harm." Xu Pingjing, the head of Zhongnan Mountain, bowed to Changhong with a smile on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I haven't seen you for many years, and your demeanor is even better than before." The person who spoke was Zhang Jiuling, the head of Penglai.
The two exchanged polite greetings for a while, and were about to enter the door hand in hand, when suddenly a rainbow came across the sky.
When the rainbow was approaching, Zhang Jiuling and Xu Pingjing saw that it was a woman in colorful clothes flying with her feet on a fairy sword.
The flying sword was in front of the two of them in an instant, Youhu stopped abruptly, and the woman in the colorful shirt on the sword jumped down lightly. It was a mid-mature, but glamorous woman with a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows, which added to her aura of intimidation.
Seeing this person, Zhang Jiuling and Xu Pingjing clasped their fists in salute, and Xu Pingjing smiled even more: "Twenty years have passed, Fellow Daoist Bai has become younger, and this small Taoist temple in Pindao is really full of glory with Fellow Daoist Bai supporting him. "
This woman's name is Bai Jingxue, and she is the head of Shushan. Although her face was more beautiful than Peony's, but her expression was very cold, she didn't respond to Xu Pingjing's warmth at all, and said indifferently: "There is no need to say polite words, are the others here?"
While speaking, two long rainbows in the sky came towards each other, which happened to be one south and one north. The two Taoists landed in no particular order. They were both white-haired old men. The one in the north was a little chunky, while the one in the south had darker skin.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, long time no see."
"Wang Daoyou, how are you doing recently?"
These two people are Wu Jinling, the head of Xuelu, and Wang Sanxian, the head of Dongting Lake.
So far, the five major sects of Taoism in the world, Penglai in the east, Shushan in the west, Xuelu in the north, Dongting in the south, and Zhongnanshan, have gathered together.
The five greeted each other, and after paying homage to the statue of God Zhenwu Xuantian, they entered the side hall and took their seats one after another. The main hall is dedicated to the statue of Zhenwu, so naturally there are no seats.
The heads of the Five Great Dao Sects usually have contacts, but not many, and although they come from the same line, they are all competitors, and some have old grudges. At this moment, they are living together peacefully, sitting down on the futon safely.
The positions of everyone's futons were carefully arranged, and the five of them happened to sit on the five corners of the five-pointed star, so no one had an advantage or a disadvantage in terms of seating.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xu Pingjing saw Bai Jingxue's expression of impatience. He had always known that this beauty was hot-tempered, and the head of Zhong Nanshan, so he brought the topic to the point.
He said: "Don't gossip, let's talk about business. Li Ye, who was promoted to the real person of Lingchi a few days ago, is out of control, and he doesn't respect the Taoist sect, and wants to turn the Taoist sect into a complete pawn in his hands, completely obeying his orders , is no different from the Yamen, this is unacceptable to us, so he must be eradicated!"
"But any one of the sects alone is powerless. Now, it's time to join forces to fight against the enemy. The five great gates in the world, only when the heads of the five great gates join hands to sacrifice to the heavens can they open the Great Formation of Zhu Xian, attract the power of the immortal court to come to the world, and kill the immortals." Monstrous. Now, three hundred years have passed since the last time the Great Formation of Jade Immortals was opened, and it is time for the world to remember why Taoism can stand in Shenzhou for thousands of years!"
