The battle between Emperor Toei and the shogunate reached its peak during the Meiji Restoration, when the Tokugawa shogunate's seclusion led to an invasion by foreign powers. The curtain of a great era has begun.

At that time, at the same time, the Qing Dynasty was facing a life-and-death crisis, unfortunately, China's three thousand years of self-containment was no longer able to solve its own problems from the inside, and Dongying was much simpler than Huaxia in terms of area and population, as well as the direction of reform.

Although Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty had the determination of the Meiji Emperor, he did not have the political resources and sufficient supporters of the Meiji Emperor. All in all, the main reason is not only the old woman named Cixi, but also the awakening of the people. The people of Dongying had already had the basis for awakening before the Meiji Restoration, and the people of the Qing Dynasty were still like rotten wood, and the awakened people who could rise up and resist throughout China died out in the Taiping Rebellion.

Reflecting on this history, Li Shaoyang thought of the tradition of the Dongying shogunate, any kind of system that has been passed down for thousands of years will not be easily erased, and the shogunate is the same.

The shogunate existed for 682 years and represented the aristocratic power of the entire Toei, and the Meiji Restoration allowed the emperor to stand up, but unfortunately, the reforms carried out by the Meiji Emperor in turn limited his imperial power, and the final result was that Toei entered the embryonic period of democracy, and the emperor once again became a puppet.

After the end of World War II, the United States controlled the entire territory of Toei, and at that time, both the forces of the emperor and the shogunate nobility lost control of the entire Toei, and then slowly evolved, and the forces guarding the Meiji Emperor established a large left-wing organization with the help of the "Tokyo Spiritualist Society". The hidden shogunate aristocracy was not willing to fail, and with the help of arms trading and spy operations during World War II, the "Genryukai" was developed.

From the 50s to the 80s, both the Tokyo Spiritualist Society and the Genryu Society were involved in the economic take-off of Toei, and this period of time between the two sides can be described as a period of peace. When Dongying's economy was at its best, that is, when it became the world's second largest economy, the entire Dongying had a feeling of being invincible in the world.

In that good era, the Tokyo Spiritualist Society and the Genryu Society entered the honeymoon period, and the relationship between the two sides was extremely harmonious, and the two leaders at that time even held three large gatherings in Tokyo's Kikisho Onsen, and they were about to work together to form a new political party and take over the Toei government directly.

At this time, a paper "Hiroshima Agreement" caused an economic avalanche in Toei, and it collapsed for ten years.

This "lost decade" not only shattered Dongying's dream of peaceful rise, but also brought Dongying's left-wing forces back into the mainstream. Interestingly, the left-wing militaristic forces preach bushido on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are prostrate at the feet of the rice country as pugs. He has been used as a gunman by the United States many times.

As a result, the left-wing militaristic forces in Dongying split again, and some of the most extreme elements cooperated with the "Tokyo Spiritualist Society" and began to infiltrate the military headquarters. The remaining left wing joined the Xuanlong Society.

The Xuanlong Society and the Spiritualist Society once again stood on the battlefield of opposites, but this time they were in an endless confrontation. The Genryukai wanted to re-establish the system of shoguns, with the emperor enshrined as the spiritual leader, and the shogunate to govern the entire country with centralized power.

The Tokyo Spiritualist Society had a different plan, and their plan was even more crazy, the Spiritualist Society wanted to select one of the emperor's descendants and use it as a shell to summon Amaterasu to descend, so as to establish a theocratic state that combined religion and politics.

I have to say that this plan of the Tokyo Spiritualist Society is more tempting in today's era. In particular, a large number of gods have entered the earth, especially the dungeon gods have concentrated on Dongying Island, making the demonic power here rich and terrifying, and there are supernatural people awakening every day on the island country.

Li Shaoyang understood the ins and outs of the Xuanlong Society and the Spiritualist Society, and he understood the seriousness of the current situation.

He looked at Zhongli Soul and said: "A theocratic country where religion and politics are integrated, this declaration of the Tokyo Spiritualist Society is of course more attractive to those people from shrines and temples, but the dojo is different, the entire sword sect dojo in Dongying, and even including the two major ninja organizations, they don't care whether they are gods or not, they just hope to elect a real strong man." ”

Zhong Li Soul was now sitting in the back garden of the Six Dao Shrines, full of fiery red maple leaves that could only be seen in autumn, she was obviously not interested in this kind of political struggle in the world, and only said: "The Xuanlong Society will also summon a god, and what the Soul Conjuring Society can do, we can also do." ”

Li Shaoyang raised his eyebrows, she was talking about the Moon Reading God of the Underworld, the god of the ghost domain who was about to possess the empty light. Obviously, the Xuanlong Society also understands the most simple truth, and without a single god coming out of the town, they will not be convincing enough to the people.

The Era Festival is less than twenty days away, and if the Divine Temple Alliance is successfully completed, it will not be good news for the Xuanlong Society to throw itself into the arms of the Soul Conjuring Society.

Li Shaoyang looked at Zhong Li's soul, and guessed in his heart that the strongest person in the Difu Protoss so far was Zhong Kui, but Zhong Kui was alone and didn't seem to have a deep relationship with the Difu. In addition to Zhong Kui, it is this Zhong Li's soul, and even black and white impermanence is now like a soy sauce player.

Then all of Zhong Li's actions in Dongying, if it were for the Styx Stone, seemed to be unreasonable, because in Li Shaoyang's opinion, Zhongli Soul was not in a hurry to enter the underworld, and everything she did was more like preparing enough bodies for the underworld gods in Dongying. In this way......

Li Shaoyang's heart shook, Zhong Li's soul must have hidden a lot of souls of the Difu God Clan in her hands, so she had to rush to control this Dongying Island country and find the body for those souls.

If he can find the place where those souls are, Li Shaoyang is extremely excited about this, this is not only the best way to attack the Difu Divine Clan, but also can obtain a lot of spiritual power, which is conducive to his own Yuan Dan cultivation, and can also obtain merit points. The merit points that can be exchanged for things from the Styx Temple, Li Shaoyang has not had a chance to obtain them recently.

However, if you want to get Zhong Li's absolute trust, the current Li Shaoyang is not good. He has only been valued by Zhong Li's soul now, and he is only a marginal character in the Xuanlong Society. Therefore, what Li Shaoyang needs is enough credit.

He didn't say a word, only listened to Zhongli's voice, and waited for Zhongli's soul to prepare to leave, and then got up to send him off.

Zhong Li's soul walked out of the back garden, and his figure turned into a shadow in a flash, and disappeared into the night, Li Shaoyang didn't know what she was going to do, but she didn't mention Zhong Kui from beginning to end, which made Li Shaoyang still very surprised.

Li Shaoyang shook his head and turned around, and as soon as he walked back to the back garden, he saw Zhong Kui standing under the maple tree, his brows furrowed.

Li Shaoyang smiled slightly and didn't speak, but Zhong Kui said: "Bodhisattva, I have something to go out, and I want to borrow a master by your side when I leave, I don't know what you think?" ”

A master by your side? Li Shaoyang frowned: "Brother Zhong, who are you talking about?" ”

Zhong Kui laughed, suddenly pinched out a wine glass in his hand, he turned the wine glass slightly, and saw the golden light flashing, and a small golden toad appeared in the wine glass, cooing helplessly.

"Ah, what you need is a little golden toad!" Li Shaoyang pondered for a while: "This is no problem, but it can't be long, the little golden toad is very important to me." ”

What he said was true, he was single in Dongying, surrounded by a group of ghosts, and he would be in danger at any time, no matter what he said, Xiao Jin Toad was also his right-hand man.

Zhong Kui said: "It doesn't take many days, it's just two or three days, Bodhisattva, what are you afraid of, besides, I see those people, except for the young man who set the fire, none of the others is your opponent, even my righteous sister, who is also played with by you in the palm of her hand, very stupid." ”

Li Shaoyang couldn't help but be curious: "Brother Zhong, you don't seem to have any interest in the affairs of the underworld." ”

Zhong Kui glanced at him seriously: "Bodhisattva, my righteous sister is deeply involved, I don't know why, but I don't know that for the Difu Divine Clan, it doesn't matter if there is a body or not, if my righteous sister really opens the door of the Difu, it will not necessarily be a good thing for her." ”

Li Shaoyang didn't understand what Zhong Kui said, and he seemed to have reservations, Li Shaoyang knew his character very well, and did not continue to ask. Only the little golden toad said loudly there: "It's okay for me to help you, I want to take my apprentice with me, Zhong Nanjun, you are the first judge of the three realms of the underworld, it is said that even the ten halls of Yama take you as the first master of the underworld, let me help, you have to show some sincerity." ”

Zhong Kui smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to take care of that apprentice so much, okay, after the matter is done, as long as I can do it, I can say three things." ”

Only then did the little golden toad jump out happily: "Three things! It's good to save face, don't be so troublesome, I just need you to protect the empty photo three times. ”

Zhong Kui's expression became solemn: "Okay! If that child's life is in danger, I can go all out three times. ”

This is a very heavy promise, and Li Shaoyang couldn't imagine that Xiao Jin Toad's words would make such an important promise to this independent ghost saint monarch, which was simply an unexpected joy. However, Zhong Kui is willing to suffer such a big loss, it must be necessary for Xiao Jin Toad to do something very important.

Seeing Zhong Kui leave, Li Shaoyang stood in place for a while before entering the study.

He took out his phone, thought about it for a moment, and dialed Takahashi's phone.

"I need the current location of the Lord of Honganji Temple and the God Lord of Heian Jingu, the more detailed the better." Li Shaoyang said his request very directly.

Takahashi represents the power of the dojo, and there should be a way to know where those two old guys are.

After the incident of Qingshui Temple during the day, Li Shaoyang can be sure that these two old guys must have changed places, and they must have brought many masters with them.

What Li Shaoyang was going to do was to kill these two guys. He has calculated repeatedly, this is the fastest, the solution to the difficulties of the Xuanlong Society, and the alliance of this era festival will be disrupted first. At the same time, if this assassination is successful, it will also be a great credit for the recognition of the Xuanlong Society and Zhong Li's soul.
