Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 621: Moths to flame

Views:

Wang Daoning's judgment about Xia Longyuan's practice was reminded by what he saw and heard at sea.

At that time, the God of Longevity said to Xia Longyuan: "You unified the world in order to experience the process of controlling the world, as a stepping stone for you to break through the realm of control. The momentum of controlling the mountains and rivers has been established, and the realm of control has been broken, so you no longer have to maintain it with your heart, as if unifying the world is just a key in your hands. After opening the door, the key can be thrown away..."

Then there is another sentence: "But Xia Longyuan, you are wrong... Treating your own gate of gods and demons with such a joking and disrespectful attitude, and discarding it like a worn-out shoe after passing through it, you will definitely suffer the backlash. You gained the Tao by controlling the world, and when the world is no longer under your control, your foundation will be in turmoil."

Xia Longyuan did not refute... That was the fact, and quibbling only made people laugh.

But common sense says that a path that has already been established cannot be reversed because of something like this, and a river that has already been crossed will not lead back to the other side even if the bridge is removed.

However, because of his injury, he retreated back to the bridge... This is a bit subtle.

Wang Daoning contacted the heads of various families and after discussion, they unanimously agreed that it was feasible!

So there were various operations, such as encouraging the Tang family and Wan Tianxiong and others to be independent. True independence is the best, but it doesn't matter if it hasn't been implemented yet. If there is a will, there will be a way. Once it reaches the level of "everyone knows it", it will be very effective. Do you think Jiangnan will listen to Tang Buqi or Xia Longyuan? People's hearts have already naturally taken sides.

If we add in the four sword formations of each of their families, which symbolize the mountains and rivers of the world, then the whole world will be in rebellion.

What will happen when Xia Longyuan completely loses any concept of "control" over the country

That's not enough.

Mountains and rivers have their own meridians. Xia Longyuan chose this location as the capital instead of the traditional Chang'an and Luoyang because the land veins in this world are subtly different from the conventional ones. The other geographies are very similar to the present world, but Beimang has been shifted to the extreme north. That is where the ancient Qinglong's dragon veins were located. Perhaps it was because they dreamed of reviving one day, or perhaps there were other reasons. In short, the closer to Beimang, the more suitable it is for the capital. Combined with these, it became the current capital.

With the protection of mountains, rivers and land veins, from the perspective of Taoist metaphysics, "the country has not yet reached the point of destruction." At the very least, they can run away, and with Xia Longyuan's strength, he will make a comeback sooner or later.

But Yuxu took action and cut off the dragon vein.

Yuxu may have thought that the gods and demons could not die, so there was no point in tossing them around... Xia Longyuan was obviously one of them. What else could he do except to escape from the world and travel? But when the new chapter of the blind man's book of chaos came out, Yuxu's attitude towards the gods and demons behind him was unknown, and Xia Longyuan's halo was destroyed by him first.

It's still not enough.

Since the fake has been attending court, some of the more traditional-minded ministers would think that His Majesty has done nothing wrong and is actually quite diligent. He is not a tyrant, nor is he fond of women. The so-called killing of the crown prince is nonsense. Although he has made some stupid moves, it is hard to say that he has committed heinous crimes. The more traditional ones would think that it is the rebels who are causing chaos in the country, and His Majesty is quite innocent.

In addition, those ministers who are loyal to him, represented by Tang Wanzhuang, maintain their positions. There are even a group of people who simply recognize Xia Longyuan as the lord of Daxia because of Tang Wanzhuang... There are actually quite a few officials, scholars and warriors who acknowledge that Xia Longyuan is still the lord of Daxia.

So Xia Longyuan combined the dragon energy from the palace's earth veins to create his own little sky, in which he became one with the rest of the world.

But it was all ruined by the fake one's words "The Tang family is plotting treason and the entire family will be executed."

You said there was no sin, but this sin has come... You said there was something holding them together, but this rope has not been cut off by yourself, has it

Even Zhao Changhe knew that luck was a manifestation of a trend. When the trend was bound to cause blood loss, the dragon energy of this place would also dissipate, and there was no need to wait for the news to spread. Strictly speaking, the Imperial Ancestral Temple was no longer Xia Longyuan's, because the Imperial Palace and the Imperial Ancestral Temple were not private property. They were state tools and only had meaning if people recognized them. If no one recognized them, it would just be a scenic spot.

When Xia Longyuan was lazy and found a substitute to go to court on his behalf, he could never have imagined that one day the most crucial knife would come from this person's hands, and it would be almost impossible to solve the problem. Unless he breaks out of the siege now and announces to everyone that it is fake, then there is still a chance to redeem himself!

A dragon-shaped fist force rushed straight towards Yang Jingxiu below the platform, and Xia Longyuan took the initiative to attack!

This might be the first time he felt "anxious" since he had achieved success in his practice.

Li Shentong took a step forward and also punched forward.

If "My Fist" is the most powerful fist in the world, then the Shenhuang Wind and Thunder Palm of the Shenhuang Sect is the most stable palm for defense. It is different from the defense of the Black Tortoise. What they rely on is... the defense of the physical body!

"Boom!" The fists of both sides collided with each other, and a terrible explosion sounded. The clothes on Li Shentong's body disappeared in an instant, revealing skin as tough as steel, covered with scars, at least a hundred times more than Zhao Changhe's scars.

Conquer dragons and tame tigers with divine power!

He took Xia Longyuan's punch and only took three steps back!

Everyone was relieved that after Da'an's combination of punches, Xia Longyuan was indeed weakened, much weaker!

At the same time as the punches collided, the four divine swords glowed at the same time, converging into a dazzling divine light, rushing straight to Xia Longyuan's back. This was the power of the rivers and mountains gathering together!

Ying Wu stretched out his palm and turned it into a claw. The space they were fighting in suddenly felt constrained and collapsed. It was really the way of space! He had never used it before when he was fighting against Xue Wu. He didn't know whether he had reserved it at that time or had made some progress recently. In short, this time he used his best skill!

Li Gongsi and Yang Jingxiu silently took out their spare swords and pierced Xia Longyuan's neck from left and right. A phoenix sounded in the air, and surging flames burned down from the sky, and the Vermillion Bird arrived!

No one has the time to gossip about her. In such a battle situation, every slacker would die!

Although the number of people may not be as many as those besieging Xue Wu, their elite level is more than doubled. If we include the sword formation, Yu Xu who cut off the dragon vein, Wang Daoning who was acting outside at this time, and Hai Pinglan who caused Xia Longyuan to be injured... it can be said that Xia Longyuan is facing all the great Xia Tianbang alone!

The only thing missing seems to be a Snow Owl? Where is he at such a grand event

… …

In front of the imperial study at this time.

Qin Dingjiang failed in his acupuncture and did not dare to look at Tang Wanzhuang. He retreated with a blushing face: "Master, I..."

Tang Wanzhuang said calmly: "You obeyed the king's orders, I don't blame you."

Qin Dingjiang bowed his head in shame, and muttered in a low voice: "This is not the king's order..."

"It seems you know it's fake?" Tang Wanzhuang smiled helplessly: "But others don't know, and it won't work if I say it's fake. That's too unbelievable and can't convince people. In the eyes of the world, this is real."

Qin Dingjiang hesitated to speak. You can't kill the real emperor. If you go in and cut off his head now, you can actually prove that he is a fake. But what Tang Wanzhuang said before was also correct. Public opinion is controlled by the aristocratic families. They can find an excuse that the emperor was injured and say that Tang Wanzhuang killed the emperor. The people of Daxia are convinced. This is the dead end.

The only correct answer is that Xia Longyuan must be under siege at this moment. If a strong person of Tang Wanzhuang's level participates, it is possible that it will affect the balance of victory or defeat. As long as the real Xia Longyuan comes out, everything will be solved.

Tang Wanzhuang looked around, Qin Dingjiang did not dare to move, and the guards around him all lowered their heads and retreated when they saw her eyes. Tang Wanzhuang walked away, and no one stopped her wherever she went. This was how popular she was.

The fake who dared not show his face in the imperial study gritted his teeth and said, "Tang Wanzhuang! Your family is still in Beijing, do you really want to wipe them out here?"

Tang Wanzhuang smiled disdainfully and flew away.

A group of guards rushed into the Tang family's house from afar: "According to the order, arrest the rebel Tang family, those who resist... eh?"

Before he could finish his words, he discovered that the Tang family residence, which was bustling this evening, was now deserted. Even the dog had been taken away by Baoqin.

How did they disappear without a sound? Such a large family migrated without making any noise... This could only prove that Tang Wanzhuang had anticipated this moment and had her family members leave in disguise at least three days ago, so that they could leave without leaving any trace.

This is a ruthless person who has been fighting against the demons and alien races in the martial arts world all his life, and has made Suzaku Maitreya extremely uncomfortable. She can't do anything about the corruption of the country, but in terms of martial arts experience and wisdom, Zhao Changhe, who claims to be able to investigate cases, is just a younger brother in front of her.

But she knew that the danger came from the palace, so she evacuated her family in advance, but she herself entered the dragon's den and the tiger's den without hesitation.

As Tang Wanzhuang flew, a sigh was heard in the air: "If the Tang leader surrenders to me, I will grant him a title of 10,000 households..."

Before she could finish her words, the Spring Water Sword came out, its shimmering light passed under the moon, and went straight to the person coming from the flank: "Marquis Zhenhai's kindness, Wanzhuang appreciates it!"

As the sword's weak momentum continued to rise, when the sword light reached Wang Daoning, he was facing Tang Wanzhuang who had unlocked the three secret treasures.

"Dang!" Wang Daoning pinched the Spring Water Sword with two fingers and sighed softly: "Why do you have to do this... You can only live for an hour at most after you unlock the triple secret treasure... But I have already broken through the realm of control, your trump card is completely meaningless, and you are still like a moth flying into a flame... Is all this worth it?"
