A slave named Aesop once told a story about the turkey trying to reach the top of the tree, so he asked the bull for help, and the bull told him that he only needed to eat his own dung, so as the turkey continued to devour the dung, he felt that his strength was getting stronger, so he slowly climbed to the top of the tree, but unfortunately, it didn't take long for the turkey to be targeted by a farmer, so the farmer beat the turkey down very neatly......

The moral of this story is: cow dung (**** luck) can indeed get you to the top, but it can't keep you there forever!

Therefore, the so-called God bless or something, just deceive those little hairy children who have not experienced the world, those who have really experienced the world, especially the respectable and fearful inheritors who are carrying the inheritance of civilization, will never believe in unreliable things such as luck, the only thing they can rely on and believe in is themselves!

If it is said that the continuous inheritance of Chinese civilizations for thousands of years is a positive example of not believing in the mandate of heaven, then there is no doubt that the rise of the Great Ming Zun Sect and the rapid demise of its instant afterward are undoubtedly a negative example corresponding to the Chinese civilization!

In the view of the local civilization of China, the Ming Zun Religion is just the same as the Buddhism of the past, it is just a foreign Hu Religion, but it is different from the Buddhism that silently spread in the homeland of China and only rose after hundreds of years, because the predecessor of the Great Ming Zun Religion Manichaeism already had a very strong influence in the Western Regions at that time, so that the missionary actions of the Ming Zun Religion after the founding of the religion have always been quite smooth, and because the Sui Dynasty of the Chinese Empire at that time was in the era of war and chaos when another empire collapsed. After all, in troubled times, people's hearts will always subconsciously follow the strong, and the Daming Zun Sect, which has always been strong, can indeed give people such an impression, not to mention, the theory of the dualistic war of good and evil and the belief of equality of all beings, which is different from Buddhism, is indeed very attractive to the people who are precarious in the troubled times and have suffered all kinds of persecution, so to speakBecause of the correctness of thought and the help of fortune, the development of the Da Ming Zun Sect during that period was indeed extremely amazing, so that in just a few decades, the Da Ming Zun Sect already had the strength to compete with the power of the Manichaean sect. And for the provocation of its own branch of the Da Ming Zun Sect, Manichaeism can only be triggered because of the fear of the other party's strength, and this was almost unimaginable within Manichaeism before, for no other reason, no one can predict the rise of the Da Ming Zun Sect like a comet in advance, after all, the founder of the Da Ming Zun Sect Xu Shi was just an elder who was defeated in the power struggle within the Manichaean branch, and he was panicked like a lost dog when he fled from the Manichaean Persian altar in a hurry, such Xu Kaishan, Of course, no one will look at him in their eyes, and therefore, no one will ever think that he will be able to fight out of a force in a foreign land - it's just that there are no absolutes in the world, and Xu Kaishan's success in the East shook the entire Manichaean power, and because of this, countless people regretted it......

However, after the peak of the peak, because of being carried away by the smooth all the time, the high-level leaders of the Daming Zunjiao led by Xu Kaishan made a faint move one after another, and since then they have embarked on the road of death, so after a few years, the Daming Zunjiao, the largest force, once occupied a part of the Western Regions, occupied the entire grassland, and completely played the behemoth with its tentacles deep into the land of China, which really responded to an old saying: its prosperity is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden!

Why is this happening! The answer is that God must first mad him if he wants it to perish!! Like Buddhism, since the Great Ming Zun Sect itself is a foreign civilization, it was in a hurry to expand its power at the beginning rather than slowly trying to do it, which in itself was a big failure in strategy - perhaps in a civilized desert place like the Western Regions, a highly developed civilization inheritance like the Great Ming Zun Sect was indeed highly respected by the local primitive tribesmen, but compared to the more splendid Chinese civilization of Middle-earth, the little thing of the Great Ming Zun Sect was not worth mentioning.

In addition, after three hundred years of war at the end of the Han Dynasty, almost all of the original Chinese civilization inheritance that flourished in the Spring and Autumn Han Dynasty has undergone a huge transformation, and it is by no means an exaggeration to say that it is unrecognizable, and the two most obvious points are: first: the various factions that were incompatible with each other in the past can be temporarily united because of interests, and before that, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States and the Han Dynasty, this is almost impossible, and second: in addition to Buddhism, almost all the original Chinese civilizations in Middle-earth are more sensitive, Maintaining great vigilance and hostility to foreign cultural invasions led to the collapse of the once-prosperous Ming Zun Sect, whether it was the subsequent attempt to make a comeback of the Great Ming Zun Sect, or the spread of the state religion of the Great Qin Empire in the far west to Middle-earth, and the spread of the religion of a sage in the depths of the Western Desert to Middle-earth along the Silk Road, their influence was limited from beginning to end, and they could no longer compare with the prosperity of Buddhism in the past! I have to say that this is precisely the reason why since Buddhism took advantage of the loopholes of the native civilization, the local civilization has strictly guarded against other foreign civilizations later! At that time, the Great Ming Zun Sect, which had a very good development momentum in the Western Regions and Mobei, did not know that the local Chinese civilization in Middle-earth had undergone such a huge change, so that it rashly made the decision to invade the sphere of influence of the Chinese civilization, and as a result, it hit the copper wall headlong! Smashed bones!!

The reason why such a major decision-making mistake will be caused is that the Ming Zunjiao itself does not understand the civilization of Middle-earth, and they are eager to expand their power in Middle-earth, they also did not make a detailed investigation of the situation in Middle-earth, and only relied on their successful experience in the Western Regions and the Mobei grassland to act hastily, but did not think about it in detail. After all, although the Chinese civilizations are hostile to each other, they have the same root and the same origin, so that when they discover a foreign civilization force that wants to enter Middle-earth and replace all the original Middle-earth civilizations, then there is no doubt that many civilizations in China will immediately unite and eliminate this scourge cleanly.

As a result, the tragedy of the Great Ming Zun Sect is inevitable! In particular, when the Daming Zun Sect fell into the quagmire later, the Persian Hu high-level in its decision-making level was at a loss for the predicament at that time, and several attempts to save the crisis were instead pulled the Da Ming Zun Sect deeper into the deep pool, which was because of the joint suppression of the Chinese civilization factions, as well as the result of the chaos and blind movement of the Da Ming Zun Sect, and the final result was that the inheritors of the local Chinese civilization led by Shi Qingyi could even allow the orthodox inheritance of Persian Manichaeism to preach in Middle Earth. However, against the forces of the Great Ming Zun Sect, they must be wiped out and not a single fish will be left behind!

The war between civilizations is actually so cruel!!

And the alliance between the Demon Sect of the Demon Gate and the Great Ming Sect in the past is actually also in a consideration between the interests and the disadvantages! And at the beginning, because of the same purpose, this alliance did have a period of intimate honeymoon period, sneak attack and vainly attempt to perish in Chang'an in a vain battle led by the head of the family Li Yuan, by the Guanlong military aristocracy of the eight founders Li Hu created this conspiracy, it was also in this period of planning and carried out, but people are not as good as the sky, the joint action of the two forces is amazing, but although the Li noble gate valve has always been low-key, its hidden heritage is really extraordinary, In addition, some things that could not be predicted at that time existed, so that under the First World War, the Li family's clansmen were of course suffering heavy casualties, but the Demon Xiangzong and the Great Ming Zun Sect were also broken, not to mention the loss of a large number of elite personnel, and more importantly, because of the final failure of that huge plan, this alliance for the first time, its confidence in its future plan was shaken!

That battle was actually the beginning of all the turning points, because since then, the first crippled Li clan lord actually made an incredible counterattack and became the most powerful separatist force in the land of China, and then, in order to win over this force, the rulers of the grassland and the Western Regions began to change their attitudes towards the two major forces, so that from then on, the development of the two major forces began to hit a wall everywhere.

At the same time, the two major forces that were not originally in the eyes of the Huaxia factions received the huge attention of all the forces, and there was no way, although the original Demon Xiangzong and the Great Ming Zun Sect also wanted to show their strength to the Huaxia factions by destroying the Li clan gate lord - this famous Guanlong military gate valve in one fell swoop, however, because of the success and failure, although the two major forces did attract the attention of all the Huaxia factions because of this, they did not make the factions feel how frightened! And the result of this change is, of course, by no means what the Demon Sect and the Great Ming Sect want to see.

So when the plan of that battle failed, the alliance between the Demon Sect and the Great Ming Sect had begun to crack, and with the passage of time, especially when the Li clan lords who had suffered heavy casualties in the past had gradually possessed the courage and strength to dominate the world, the alliance between the two major forces of the Demon Sect and the Great Ming Sect, which was becoming weaker and weaker and fell into a chaotic crisis, has long ceased to exist, and, because of the differences between their respective civilizations, the former alliance was desperate to kill each other!

Later, under the joint attack of the ruling class of the Tang Dynasty, the local factions of China, and the Manichaeism of the Ming Sect, the power of the Ming Sect finally disappeared after a flash in the pan, and although the Demon Xiangzong itself had fallen into a great predicament, as a branch of the inheritance of the local civilization of China, the Demon Xiangzong still found a lifeline to avoid extinction through its own heritage in the local Chinese culture!!

Speaking of this life-saving straw, we have to mention a big man forty years ago, and this big man is the eldest grandson Sheng who kills two birds with one stone and shocks Mobei!!

As a peerless general of the Sui Empire, Changsun Sheng is a member of the Demon Sect of the Demon Gate, which sounds a little incredible at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, there is no fuss - after all, in the three hundred years of turmoil, the original social order has basically been almost completely disrupted, and there are people in the Demon Gate among the ruling class, which is almost normal, isn't Dugu Xin a member of the Demon Gate Evil Sect? However, although Dugu Xin is in a high position and has been robbing tombs for many years, his own status in the Evil Extreme Sect is only an elder of the outer gate, and the difference between Changsun Sheng is that when he was young, Changsun Sheng was not only the core disciple of the Demon Sect at that time, but also a strong contender with the later Demon Marshal Zhao Deyan who once competed for the position of the sect master of the Demon Sect!

In all fairness, throughout the later lives of Changsun Sheng and Demon Shuai Zhao Deyan, the former is good at conspiracy, while the latter is fine at conspiracy, although they have their own strengths, but in general, their talents are comparable, but the problem is that just as the same person can only have a mind on his torso, so the leader who can lead the Demon Sect in the future can only be one person, no matter who the previous generation of Demon Sect Sect Master chose at that time, he must give up the other, and therefore, in the end, the previous generation of Demon Sect Sect Master abandoned Changsun Sheng, and chose the Demon Shuai as the new generation of the Sect leader of the Demon Sect!

It's not that there is any partiality in the choice, but just because of luck, or the helplessness of fate!! Because at that time, the Demon Gate had begun to gradually show its decline under the suppression of Buddhism and Taoism, and the internal struggle within the Demon Gate had gradually become a surging trend, among the eight major factions of the Demon Gate, the Evil Extreme Sect prospered as the sun because of the protection of a generation of evil emperors to Yutian, and its status was unbreakable, and the second was the Heavenly Lotus Sect, relying on the huge financial resources brought by the merchants, although the strength of this faction itself is not strong, but it also has a solid foundation and is difficult to shake.

As for the declining descendants of the Witch Sect, the Yin Sect, and the Huajian Sect, a descendant of one of the branches of the former Mo family, the two factions relied on the inextricable special relationship with the ruling class in the past to obtain the protection of the ruling class, so that they were able to maintain a loose group situation, the situation cannot be said to be good, but it cannot be said to be bad either!

And then there is the army of assassins who have been hiding in the shadows: Mending Heaven! The assassin is the ultimate weapon of the bloody struggle of mankind, so from this aspect, the antiquity of the history of the Mending Heaven Pavilion in the dark surpasses all the other factions of the Demon Gate later, such a Mending Heaven Pavilion, of course, will not be destroyed because of the infighting in the Demon Gate, of course, but it is also for this reason, and from the very beginning, it has cut off any possibility of this sect to get any real prosperity!

True preaching as a descendant of the former Taoist lineage, and Taoism's origin is naturally extremely far-reaching, but it is precisely because of this, in a sense, true preaching is at best some Taoist ideas that are not allowed to mainstream Confucianism and Buddhism, so it is secretly Chen Cang, leaving such a backhand in the Demon Gate, as a branch of all the power of Taoism, the status of the true preaching in the Demon Gate is of course unbreakable, when it is also because of the strength of a branch of Taoism, Taoism in order to be in itself and Buddhism, Striking a balance between the forces of Confucianism and the Demon Gate will inevitably deliberately suppress the development of the True Preaching in the Demon Gate!

Since the Dao of Extinction was born by relying on the imperial power that was emasculated by Confucianism, then in the turbulent and turbulent times of three hundred years, the inheritance of this sect is naturally congenitally bad and acquired, so even the inheritance is intermittent, if it were not for the particularity of the soil it inherited, I am afraid that this faction would have ceased to exist with the demise of most of the sons and hundreds of schools, but even if it can continue the inheritance, it is also half-dead, not much stronger than the vassals of some demon sects!

In comparison, the Demon Sect at that time was already in an extremely dangerous situation!

The power of the Demon Sect was still quite large at that time, because of the nature of the inheritance of the Zongheng family, so that in the turbulent era of three hundred years, the sect power of the Demon Sect was always able to come to the right and left, so although it was in troubled times, the power of the Demon Sect had been on the rise, and therefore it was able to occupy a vague place in the Demon Sect, instead of disappearing with the other remnants of the Hundred Schools of Succession! However, when that long turbulent era finally came to an end with the changes of the times, the power of the Demon Sect, the inheritance of the Zongheng family, also ended their happy time when they were once like a fish in water, and had to face various challenges that would be extremely serious in the future!

The reason is simple! An extremely self-interested and selfish school inheritance like the Zongheng family will never be trusted by any ruling class from the beginning, and the reason why it can call for wind and rain in troubled times is just because of the turmoil in the world, the mutual use of the Zongheng Doctrine between all parties and the Demon Xiang Sect, and once a highly unified imperial power is highlighted, then in the next step, the Demon Xiangzong with no faith at all will inevitably become the object of high vigilance of the ruling class!

After all, even if the two sides do not trust each other, the inheritance of the Zongheng Family School is indispensable for any ruling class, and it cannot be replaced, even if it will become increasingly difficult because of the suspicion of the ruling class, but because it is needed, it is destined that the power of the Demon Xiangzong of the Zongheng Family Inheritance will not die!

However, the problem is that when the turbulent era of three hundred years is over, the Demon Sect has really encountered someone who can replace him, and it is still an opponent that the Demon Sect forces are extremely afraid of: the Flower Sect!

In other words, the Huajian faction, which was born from the inheritance of the Mo family, can be regarded as the most harmless one among humans and animals in the Demon Gate, and therefore, the representative of the righteous path back then, Cihang Jingzhai, subconsciously relaxed his vigilance against the heirs of the Huajian faction while suppressing the forces of the Demon Gate, and the result was that the later evil king Shi Zhixuan took the opportunity to steal chickens and dogs! It can be seen that in fact, the Huajian faction is not as harmless to humans and animals as it appears, but then again, it is in the **** force like the Demon Gate, and it still exists after three hundred years of turbulent times, and the strength of the Huajian faction will definitely not be just a trace of what it shows, but the opposite! After all, when the former Mo family split and disappeared, the predecessor of the Huajian faction fell directly to the side of the ruling class, the former enemy of the Mo family, and maintained the integrity of the inheritance after the turbulent years that followed! In contrast, not to mention the other extinct Zhuzi Hundred Sect inheritances, even among the Demon Sect, there are very few factions that can maintain the integrity of the inheritance, and therefore, the heritage of the Huajian faction is really unfathomable, and it can maintain the integrity of its own inheritance around the source of the turbulent era of three hundred years, which also shows one point: In terms of the means of maneuvering around all parties and winning the maximum benefits for their own side, the Huajian faction is definitely not inferior to the Demon Xiangzong, the inheritance force of the Zongheng family who is proficient in the art of vertical and horizontal!

So in fact, the forces of the Demon Sect with the inheritance of the Zongheng family have lost the right to sell to the ruling class, if the conditions allow, it is also a helpless feasible strategy to compete with the disciples of the Huajian faction and then keep their own inheritance, but the problem is that compared to the bad faith problem of the Zongheng family, the Huajian faction is almost perfect in this regard: because in any case, the Huajian faction is after all a branch of the former Mo family, and the reason why this branch split the Mo family and fell to the ruling class in the first place, It was not because of the desire for wealth and glory, but because of the fear of the cruelty of war, so he tried his best to avoid the harm of war to the common people, and therefore parted ways with another branch of the Mo family, and later part of the predecessor of the Evil Extreme Sect!

It can be said that it is precisely because of such a belief pursuit in the inheritance of the Flower Sect, so although it belongs to the Demon Sect, the actions of the Flower Sect can have its own bottom line, which is very different from the other forces of the Demon Gate, therefore, although it is either high, or cynical or shocking, it is not surprising that compared with the inheritance of the Zong Zongheng of the Demon Sect, the doctrine of the Flower Sect can indeed be trusted by the ruling class, and therefore favored by the ruling class!

So in this way, the Huajian sect has successively replaced the status and power of the Demon Xiang Sect in the temple, and this is undoubtedly the beginning of a catastrophe for the Demon Xiang Sect!

In a sense, the Zonghengjia doctrine is similar to Confucianism, both must be attached to the ruling class and exist, but the reason why the Zonghengjia is far inferior to Confucianism is that Confucianism can complete the cultivation of its own power, so as to lay a firm foundation in the ruling class. As a result, this school of thought will always be dependent on the ruling class, like a rootless pinch, and once the ruling class no longer needs them, the situation of this school will immediately take a sharp turn and fall into a precarious situation!

Therefore, when Changsun Sheng and Zhao Deyan's masters took over the position of the sect leader of the Demon Xiang Sect, the Demon Xiang Sect, which was once prosperous, had reached a precarious situation of life and death!

Therefore, in the chase for the supreme power of the Demon Xiang Sect, Changsun Sheng was defeated without the slightest suspense, not because his wit and courage lost to the future Demon Marshal, but simply because, at such a critical juncture, the Demon Xiang Sect needs a leader with a stoic character and can endure humiliation to lead, and it is obvious that in this regard, the later Demon Marshal Zhao Deyan is more suitable than Changsun Sheng......

Changsun Sheng was defeated, and then he left the Demon Sect and hid in the temple - not out of the Demon Gate, after all, in the Demon Gate at that time, the Demon Sect was already in the midst of life and death, even the loss of any person in the Demon Sect was almost unbearable, not to mention, with Changsun Sheng's low talent, he also gathered a group of strong and firm supporters around him, wanting to fire and such a force, for the Demon Sect at that time, it was absolutely self-defeating, so, Later, the demon marshal Zhao Deyan and Changsun Sheng reached an agreement with the witness of their master and the old sect master of the previous generation: the demon marshal led the elite forces of the Demon Xiangzong to leave the desert in an attempt to rebuild the power of the Demon Xiangzong in the north of the grassland desert, and the remnants of the power in the Central Plains were further hidden as underground and led by Changsun Sheng. Even his two later wives knew about it!

Originally, in the plan of Changsun Sheng and the Demon Shuai, it was impossible for the two sides to meet again from now on, and the forces of the Demon Xiangzong under their respective control would not be able to reunite after a few generations, however, the great change in the pattern of the world was beyond the expectations of all wise people, after the Changsun Sheng Weizhen Grassland made several major contributions to the development of the forces of the Demon Xiangzong on the grassland, with the Sui empire collapsed under the toss of the super defeated son Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang, Changsun Sheng's painstakingly cultivated eldest son died in the suppression of the rebellion, and when Changsun Sheng's eldest son died, although Changsun Sheng still had several sons, but they were either stubborn, or too young to take on heavy responsibilities, so from then until his death, Changsun Sheng did not tell any of his family members his identity as a member of the Demon Sect, and everyone was kept in the dark, and the power of the Demon Xiang Sect, of course, could only be entrusted to other fellow members of the Demon Xiang Sect before Changsun Sheng's death......

Therefore, as the son of Changsun Sheng, Changsun Wuji is qualified to inherit the position of the sect leader of the Demon Xiang Sect, especially when the Demon Xiang Sect has reached a critical juncture of survival, and the eldest grandson Wuji has become the most trusted relative of Li Shimin, the emperor of the emerging Tang Empire, the eldest grandson Wuji, who knew nothing about it before, will of course be extremely shocked after learning this fact, but this is not important, the important thing is that even if the interests of the Li Tang regime are considered, the eldest grandson Wuji will definitely not refuse this gift, Instead, he will gladly accept the position of the sect leader of the Demon Sect among the eight major forces of the Demon Gate!!

Then, there was only one question left: that is, how to resolve the blood feud between the Demon Sect and the Li Tang Imperial Family? And in this regard, the demon commander has actually already had a countermeasure: since the original blood feud was formed because the Demon Xiangzong killed a lot of people from the Li Tang royal family back then, then he had to kill the people of the Demon Xiangzong who had killed him to ask for the other party's forgiveness! After all, the Demon Sect is a sect that has inherited the civilization of the Zongheng Family School for thousands of years, and compared to the importance of this civilization inheritance, the lives of any Demon Sect disciples, even the Demon Shuai himself, are not worth mentioning at all! That's why later, the demon commander knew that he would be defeated, but he still rushed to the Xuanwu Gate - because he himself was going to die! And then, according to the Demon Shuai's last order, the eldest grandson Wuji took over the power of the Demon Sect, thus becoming the new generation of the sect leader of the Demon Sect!

Since the eldest grandson Wuji, who is a relative of Emperor Li Tang, has completely controlled the supreme power of the Demon Xiang Sect, then how he will decide the lives of the Demon Xiang Sect will naturally be easy!!

Demon Shuai believes that the eldest grandson Wuji may kill many people, however, he will definitely not let the inheritance of the Demon Sect be severed, on the contrary, in the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji, the Demon Sect will prosper again after a bloody purge, after all, the doctrine of the Zongheng family is still an extremely important tool for the ruling class, although in the case of not being believed, the children of the Huajian faction can indeed be used to replace what the Zongheng family school of the Demon Xiang Sect needs to do, but there is a specialization in the art industry, The Huajian School, which has a mixed but not refined school inheritance, is indeed still not comparable to the Zongheng family inheritance that specializes in this way, and therefore when it will definitely be controlled by the eldest grandson Wuji, a relative of the ruling class of the Li Tang Dynasty, because of the trust, the future of the Demon Xiangzong will definitely turn from danger to safety, and it will flourish again!!

Because of such a resolute belief and will, the demon commander will not hesitate to lay out with his own life, and also use the introduction of the Demon Xiangzong to present the powerful Turkic Empire entrenched in the grassland as a great gift, so that neither the eldest grandson Wuji nor Li Shimin can refuse this temptation!

After all, she herself is in the game, so although she is well-informed, she still doesn't know the true face of Lushan, but when she finally jumped out of the chess game, her footprints were imprinted on a foreign land, and she also saw a lot of foreign cultures, she successfully connected all the causes and consequences together, thus constituting a picture of the development of civilization of the Chinese nation, and everyone in the picture, whether it was the emperor or the general, or the peddler and pawn, It's just one of the tiny grains of dust, and these particles together constitute a huge carrier - inheritance civilization! Pioneering and innovative! Communicate the future!
