Chapter Twenty-Six: I Want Shushan
The blood-pumping battle of Yingzhou, before the people who ate melons could react, only ended in one day and one night, and the result was even more eye-catching.
In the battle of Baituo Mountain, Qi Tian, Xuanjia and the nine million troops of the three armies of the Void, and the five million Buddhist monks and soldiers of the Great War, the war was the first to start, but it was the last to end.
In this battle, the Buddhist monks lost more than 4 million soldiers, and almost the whole army was wiped out, only the golden cicada broke through successfully with a few personal soldiers and fled back to the abbot's continent.
Entrusted with the important task, Garuda escaped, but eventually caught up with the capital.
The two sides fought for 600 rounds, and Garuda was defeated and killed by the Immortal Flying Knife.
The battle between the Buddha and the Monkey King is the most intense, they are too familiar with each other, whether it is cultivation or offensive means, they are almost the same, and they are indistinguishable, and the two monkeys fought for a whole day, and they did not distinguish between victory and defeat. At this time, he returned from the capital of Garuda, and met by chance halfway.
Although under Sun Wukong's insistence, Yu Du did not help, but his existence has caused great pressure and influence on the fight against the Buddha, and under the distraction, it is inevitable that he will reveal his flaws, capture Sun Wukong, go down with a stick, and smash it into a pulp.
At this point, the battle of Baituo Mountain was declared over.
Before that, Qingfeng Lin and Guan Jiangkou had already turned into nothingness under the power of the Zhuxian Array, and they were thus erased from the territory of Yingzhou.
For a time, on the entire Yingzhou, the three powerful forces of Heaven, Dao, and Buddha were eliminated, although most of the places were still in a state of ownerlessness, but they could already be declared in advance under Zhanbai's control, and the rest only needed to be divided and taken over.
Naturally, there is no need to worry about these things, and the court has its own court according to the post-war reward, and gives all the meritorious people a large amount of land, so that they can occupy it at will, as long as they report to the court at the end.
On the third day after the war, in the Lijian Pavilion of Emperor Donghua, Zhanbai ushered in a mysterious guest.
Sanqing Dao Ancestor, and at the same time, he was also named Taishang Laojun by Heavenly Court.
The image of an old man who looks extremely kind, but everywhere exudes a wise temperament.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the old man has seen Your Majesty." In the face of Zhanbai, Sanqing simply announced the number, and did not salute like ordinary people.
Zhanbai didn't care about this, he didn't pay much attention to these etiquettes in the first place, not to mention, with Sanqing's qualifications and identity, he really didn't need to grovel to outsiders.
"Laojun, please take a seat." Zhan Bai waved his hand very politely.
Sanqing slowly sat opposite Zhanbai.
"I wonder if Lao Jun likes to drink tea or wine?" Zhan Bai asked.
"It's been years since I knew the taste of vulgar things, so I don't want to work for Your Majesty." Sanqing politely refused.
"Oh, if that's the case, then I won't spare the bend. This time, I was able to reach Qiankun in one fell swoop, thanks to Lao Jun's assistance. Zhan Bai arched his hand, and first expressed his gratitude, "And my unscrupulous apprentice, who has been cultivating for so many years, I am very grateful in my heart." ”
"Your Majesty, the old man is not here to ask for gratitude." Unlike Bodhi, who is secretive of everything, Sanqing seems to be inactive, but he speaks very directly.
The lives of two million Daomen disciples were not just in exchange for a word of thanks from Zhanbai.
and Yan Xiu'er's hundreds of years of cultivation, even more.
Compared with those vain words of gratitude, what the Daomen needs is tangible benefits.
"Haha, Lao Jun is really fast." Zhan Bai was not embarrassed, and laughed twice, "Then please ask Lao Jun to draw a way, if it is not too demanding, I will not be allowed." ”
"Penglai, Daomen needs Penglai, now and in the future." Sanqing directly said his request.
It seems to be a mouthful sentence, but the meaning is extremely obvious, Daomen wants to show white to cede Penglai Continent to Daomen.
"What does Lao Jun mean by this, but I don't understand. Hasn't Penglai Continent always been in the hands of Daomen? Although Zhan Bai said so, his eyes narrowed slightly, radiating a dazzling essence.
"The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, although Penglai is now in the hands of the Daomen, it is given by the heavenly court. But once the heavenly court collapses, who will admit it? Will Your Majesty admit it? Lao Jun asked rhetorically.
Of course not.
Zhanbai said to himself without hesitation.
It's just that it's not good to say it to your face.
After all, no matter what you say, Daomen is kind to Zhanbai, so it's not good to tear your face immediately.
Today's meeting was a negotiation, so he was not in a hurry.
Don't look at Sanqing's performance is very direct, it doesn't seem to have the appearance of a city government, but if Zhanbai really thinks so, it would be a big mistake.
In terms of resourcefulness, Sanqing is no worse than Bodhi, and even more far-sighted than the latter, and more courageous.
"In fact, until now, there are still a lot of doubts in my heart, but I don't know if Lao Jun can answer one or two?" Zhan Bai suddenly changed the subject.
"Your Majesty, please ask, the old decay must know everything." Sanqing replied without hesitation.
"The first question is Lao Jun, why did you deliberately kidnap Xiu'er back then, but cultivate it at any cost?" Zhan Bai asked.
"In the beginning, I just wanted to make a good connection. Later, I found out that the kid had good talents, especially in kendo, and had extraordinary qualifications, so he had the idea of loving talents. Sanqing's answer was extremely sincere.
"Hmm." Zhan Bai nodded, which was not much different from the result he had guessed.
"The second question, and the last one, dare to ask Lao Jun, why did you abandon the Imperial Pole this time and help me?" This is what Zhanbai cares about the most.
Sanqing's expression suddenly dimmed, and after a long time, he sighed faintly, "Zhen Xuan is dead." ”
"What?!" Hearing the news, Zhan Bai was so excited that he stood up directly from his seat.
"Didn't Your Majesty count it?" Now it's Sanqing's turn to be strange.
"I ......" Zhanbai was about to answer, but when he thought about it, he was stunned.
is a good Sanqing, silently, he actually calculated himself.
"Hehe, you must have doubts in your heart. In that case, I have nothing to hide. I really didn't figure it out, so I guess you should be very satisfied with this answer. After a slight stunned, Zhanbai quickly recovered.
"Your Majesty is really not Fuxi." Sanqing sighed again, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, are Fuxi and Haotian still alive?" ”
"Aren't you able to pinch and calculate, why don't you do the math?" Zhanbai promotes narrowness.
"Your Majesty, why should it be difficult to be strong, the calculation is not as illusory as people think, it is just based on some clues. Back then, the moment Fu Xi and Haotian were sealed into the stone sword, all the clues had been eliminated, how could this be calculated? Sanqing smiled bitterly.
"The two of them died, as you had hoped, and in the end they didn't survive the time, and they both killed themselves." Recalling the fate of Fu Xi and Haotian, Zhan Bai couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and he didn't have the intention of teasing Sanqing anymore.
"Then I don't know who Your Majesty is? Where did it come from? Sanqing was obviously not so easy to fool, and asked sharply.
Although Fuxi and Haotian died, because of the unwillingness in their hearts, they finally chose an unprecedented way to die, that is, to merge with each other. The two who were supposed to be mutually exclusive changed for some reason, and eventually gave birth to a new soul, which is me. Zhanbai simply explained the reason, and as for many of the details, leave it to Sanqing to make up for it himself.
"In this way, it explains why His Majesty is good at using swords, but I don't know what happened to the Beichen Jiuluo Emperor under His Majesty's seat?" Sanqing had obviously done his homework before he came, and every question he asked was to the point.
"Sword ...... It has a double edge. Zhan Bai pondered for a while, and finally gave an answer.
If you don't explain things clearly today, with Zhanbai's understanding of Sanqing, I'm afraid the other party will not give up. And in this way, it can also be reassured, so that it will not let it be suspicious, "Is there any other problem?" ”
"Your Majesty is sincere." Sanqing saluted Zhanbai for the first time.
"In that case, let's move on. You just said that Zhen Xuan died, right? Zhan Bai brought the topic back at the right time.
"Not bad." Sanqing nodded.
"But does this have anything to do with your abandonment of the Goji?" Although Zhanbai had a guess in his heart, he still hoped to get confirmation from Sanqing's mouth.
"In the first battle of the flood famine, Zhuan Xuan was defeated and surrendered, and was named the Emperor of the North by Yuji, but in fact, he was just given a false name and put under house arrest. Of course, Taihao, Yan, Huang and Shaohao are also treated the same. In other words, their every move on weekdays is under the watchful eye of Gogoku. It's just that, as time goes by, this surveillance has gradually become nominal and insubstantial, after all, those few people are not fuel-efficient lamps, how can they be so easily controlled. In this way, until His Majesty was proclaimed emperor in Yingzhou a few years ago, almost all of them thought about it, and Taihao, Yan and Huang, the three emperors, naturally needless to say, gathered the old revolt one after another. As for Shao Hao, he didn't know what agreement he had reached with Yuji, and he was actually pushed to the throne of the Emperor of Heaven. It's said that he still wants to drink and have fun in his mansion every day, so he has attracted the attention of the old man. But just over a year ago, the old man suddenly calculated that there was an emperor star falling, and he had doubts in his heart. But the stake in this matter is too big, in order to be foolproof, the old man went to Zhuan's house in person, and then suddenly found out that Zhuan Xuan was a Xibei goods. Sanqing said slowly, "Your Majesty should have heard of it, just before Shaohao ascended the throne, for a long time, the one sitting on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor was not Yuji at all, but just a puppet of him. If you contact the matter of Zhuan again, it must not be difficult to see some clues. ”
"You mean to say that Zhuan was arrested for Yuji many years ago." Zhanbai's mind is surging.
Why did Yuji want to catch it?
There may be many answers, but one thing is certain, the death of the current Emperor must be related to the Imperial Pole, in other words, the current Imperial Pole already has the means to kill the existence of the Nine Emperors.
Thinking of this, even Zhanbai couldn't help but gasp, and then looked at Sanqing, all his doubts were finally answered.
The reason why Sanqing suddenly turned against Yuji was very simple, he was afraid.
It is said that a companion is like a companion tiger, if it was before, Lao Jun would not have such worries, after all, no matter what, Yuji would never kill himself. But now it's completely different, Yuji has mastered the means to be able to kill the Nine Emperors, so it may not be impossible to kill Sanqing.
Thinking of Sanqing's current prestige in the Heavenly Court, it is not an exaggeration to say that his achievements are high. As an emperor, once Yuji has a few times, he will definitely not hesitate to kill Sanqing.
Sanqing is well aware of his own situation, so he threw himself into Zhanbai's side without hesitation, hoping to join forces with Zhanbai, and even Chiyou and others, to fight against Yuji together, in order to eliminate all uncertain factors that can threaten his own safety.
"How do you think you should deal with the threat posed by Migoku?" Zhanbai gradually became solemn.
The threat brought by Yuji is not only against Sanqing, but also against himself, and even Chi You, Yan Huang and others.
As Sanqing thought, no one can kill anyone, under the rules of the game, no matter how you conquer, there is no problem, but once there is something that destroys the game, then the best way is to join forces to destroy it first.
"The main thing is that we don't know anything about the means that Yuji may have mastered now, and in this case, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us. Therefore, the old man thought that he should notify the other emperors as soon as possible, and let's join forces to kill the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and force Yu Ji to hand over the deadly thing. Sanqing said categorically.
"What do you mean...... Just a few of us, without an army? "Zhan Bai knows.
"Exactly, in response to this kind of thing, it is useless to bring too many people. Moreover, there are also some old and decrepit old friends and juniors in the Heavenly Court, and if we want to have them inside and outside, we can easily enter the South Heavenly Gate. Sanqing had obviously planned everything before he came, and he only had to convince Zhanbai and several others during this meeting.
"It's doable." Zhan Bai didn't have too many doubts, let alone fear, it was a trap.
The reason is very simple, this matter is too important, especially for the Nine Emperors, Bodhi and others, it is even more about their own safety, and no one can stay out of it, in other words, these people will rarely act together. Although it is only a few people, but with the joint efforts, there is really no place in this world to keep them, even if it is Heavenly Court.
"So, then, can we talk about the future? I don't know if Lao Jun has thought clearly, after this incident, where should he go? Zhan Bai's voice changed, and he obviously had already hit the mind on Daomen's body.
If he can bring the Dao Sect under his command, then when he solves the Imperial Pole this time, he will have a greater and unparalleled advantage against several other people in the future.
"The old man is a person who is not a talker, after this incident, he will definitely lead the disciples of the Dao Sect and will definitely not take a step out of Penglai, how about it?" Before the front car of Yuji, Sanqing obviously would not be in such an easy team. What's more, with the current strength of the Daomen, there is really no need to rely on others.
"You want to stay out of it?" Zhan Bai's eyes lit up.
"I hope Your Majesty will be fulfilled." Sanqing looked back at the past without fear.
The two looked at each other like that, and they didn't know how long it took, and finally Zhanbai was shaken.
"I can grant your request, but again, you will have to pay the price." Seeing that Sanqing was extremely determined, Zhanbai could only retreat to the second.
"Your Majesty, please say, as for whether you agree or not, it's another matter."
"I... Want... Shushan!!! ”
