Seeing through the tricks of the Qingyun Taoist Temple, Yang Tong's sense of mystery about them has also disappeared, this is a game against him, if he still drills into it, how stupid it must be! It is a smart thing to send troops to surround the Taoist group and seize these Taoist priests for interrogation and go to Yecheng for interrogation.

But he wanted to leave, but they wouldn't let him.

"Your Majesty the Holy Martial Emperor, please stay." Dao Gu walked over with a calm face and bowed her hands.

Yang Tong looked at Dao Gu with empty hands and said with a smile: "You have tempted my mount to this point, what is the matter?" ”

"Specially for the Holy One." Dao Gu was very frank.

"You're very interesting. Tell me, how many people were ambushed? Yang Tong looked at her coldly.

When many guards heard this, they immediately became vigilant.

Dao Gu stopped at a safe distance, stared at Yang Tong for a long time, and said suspiciously: "The saint was originally a premature death, but now the dragon flies for nine days, soaring up to 90,000 miles, such a fortune makes people very curious. ”

"You still look at your face?" Yang Tong didn't expect this inexplicable Dao Gu to really know this trick, he was really surprised, could it be that the traditional astrology technique was really so powerful, otherwise, how could he explain the fact that he had crossed the Sui Dynasty? How can these strange people see that they should die and not die?

"I know a little bit about it." Dao Gu smiled slightly, and then looked at Luo Shixin beside Yang Tong: "Tan Guogong also died young, but now he is also a person who changed his life against the sky. ”

"But if I live impatiently and wipe my neck with a knife, you're talking nonsense." Luo Shixin still remembered what Zhang Qiu Taiyi said in Taiyuan, and used it to pay tribute to this Taoist aunt at this time.

"That's true." Dao Gu nodded unexpectedly.

"Who are you? Why did you bring me here? Yang Tong asked.

Dao Gu said: "Please invite the saint to come in and talk about it in detail." ”

"You woman's origin is unknown, if you set up a net of heaven and earth and a large array of organs in the temple, wouldn't I kill myself?" Yang Tong sneered and said, "I'm not afraid of death, but I can't die." Once I die, the good situation of the Great Sui will be gone. ”

Dao Gu nodded helplessly, and was silent for a long time before she said: "The poor Dao's name is Yuan Ziyan, and my father Yuan Tiangang was once a senior official. ”

Yang Tong nodded suddenly, it turned out to be Yuan Tiangang, this is a big bull, full of too many magical colors.

Yuan Ziyan said again: "I once went to Ziwei Palace to see His Majesty Emperor Wu, and I also saw the Holy Side."

"I'm sorry I don't have you in my image, but what if I know you?" Yang Tong said leisurely: "People's hearts will change, isn't Emperor Wu good to Li Yuan, Xiao Miao, Yu Wenhua, Yu Wenzhi?" But the result? They all betrayed him. ”

"Holy Lord, there are too many doubts, right?" Yuan Ziyan frowned.

Yang Tong said: "It's normal for me to suspect people from unknown sources, especially you strange gods, and I can't believe it. ”

Yuan Ziyan, who had a black line, said: "Shenwu Palace is located in Qingzhang, the scenery is beautiful, and the Chaotian Palace has a glance at the whole city, I don't know if I can go?" ”

"Yes."

"......" Yuan Ziyan just expressed his frankness, who thought that Yang Tong agreed.

"Please!" Yang Tong recalled the Lixian Arrow, and asked Yuan Ziyan to be given a horse and rode Xu Xing.

"Holy Lord, aren't you curious at all?" Along the way, seeing that Yang Tong never spoke, Yuan Ziyan couldn't hold on.

"If you want to say it, you will naturally say it, and if you don't want to say it, it will be useless to ask." In fact, Yang Tong is also very curious about this Yuan Ziyan, but the other party is obviously asking for himself, if he speaks, then he will lose the initiative in the next conversation, so he can get more if he is indifferent.

"I have traveled all over the world, and I have seen too many deaths and partings, and I hope that this troubled world will end one day sooner. Wang Shichong, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Xue Ju, Li Rail, Xiao Mi, and Li Mi I have all seen them, but unfortunately these people are either not the masters, or they are not timely, and they do not have the conditions to dominate the world. However, Li Tang and Li Yuan have the appearance of kings, and their sons Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin all have the talent to help the world and the people! It's a pity that there is a saint in this world. ”

"You're looking for a Ming Jun who rules the world, right?" Yang Tong looked at Yuan Ziyan incredulously, not knowing whether she was naïve or stupid.

"Sort of."

"Do you think you're a woman?"

"Who said I was alone?" Yuan Ziyan asked rhetorically.

"It seems that the powerful organization behind you wants to learn from the Guan Long family that supported Li Yuan, and support a puppet to seize the world, so as to get what you want." Yang Tong smiled.

Yuan Ziyan shook his head and said, "It's not like the saint thinks, all we want is to survive, if the emperor helps, our life will be better." And we'll give back. ”

Yang Tong said very calmly: "Maybe your father is very powerful, maybe the power behind you is very powerful, but what I want to tell you is that the capital that wins the world is firstly strong soldiers, sufficient money and food, and second, the people's heart." There may be thousands of reasons, but it is definitely not you who kidnap the gods and teachings. ”

Yuan Ziyan's beautiful eyes widened, and when the world heard that Yuan Tiangang would help him, they didn't know what they would be excited about, but it became completely different when he came to Yang Tong. Yang Tong's words were more wary and warning, and he didn't seem to put the world-famous Yuan Tiangang in his eyes.

"I don't think we have a chance to work together." Yang Tong said very clearly, he didn't know that Yuan Tiangang, who played Cihang Jingzhai's set, competed for the world with real swords and real guns, when would it be the turn of religion to call the shots? Once they get on their thief ship, it will be difficult to get down, and Yang Tong will not eat this set.

Yuan Ziyan didn't know what she should say, Yang Guang had listened to her for many days, but Yang Tong, who had a certain relationship with Taoism, directly refused, which was completely different from what she thought, her father was so capable and so famous, didn't Yang Tong want his father and daughter to defect?

"You actually want to invest in advance so that you can get a good return later. Looks like you chose me? Otherwise you wouldn't have said so much. Yang Tong doesn't know if there is such a force in history, but whether there is or not, Yang Tong is very disgusted, if he really wants to find someone to cooperate, he would have already settled with the family. He didn't cooperate with the family before, and now there is no need to cooperate with this organization of unknown origin. You can only make your own decisions, how can you become a gun in the hands of others?

If it is really a big chaos in the world, there must be demons, not only the heroes compete for hegemony, but even all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes, gods, and ghosts have popped out, and the appearance of Yuan Ziyan reminded him of the Legend of the Double Dragon of the Tang Dynasty, which is very similar.

"The saint has been thinking too much, and we people from outside the world are just going down the mountain to end the troubled times as soon as possible. Nothing else. Seeing Yang Tong's disdain and vigilance, Yuan Ziyan hurriedly explained: "I can't bear to suffer from the people in the world." ”

"What out-of-this-world people? When you intervene in the strife of the world, you have fallen into mortal dust. Yang Tong was not interested in listening any further, and raised his voice and said: "Your biggest weapon is the mysterious armor of the 'master of the world', and when you take off this layer of armor, you are also ordinary people with flesh and blood, ambition, desire, and utilitarianism. ”

"You, like ordinary people, are actually running for your own interests. The only difference is that you stand behind your backs and benefit silently. It's not that you are so noble that you don't want to come out and fight for domination of the world, but that you are afraid that if you become a prince all the way, the most powerful weapon of 'worldly masters' will disappear. You want to gain and you want to maintain this layer of 'worldly master' armor, so you can only assist others, and then use your transcendent status to say that the person you choose is the true son of heaven to achieve the goal of fooling the people! If that person succeeds, the people will say that you are really the gods who choose the king on behalf of the king, and in the end you will naturally be prosperous and rich. ”

"Kidnapping non-existent immortals for profit is the reason why you have repeatedly succeeded. Your method is actually quite simple, that is, to take advantage of the people's reverence for the ethereal immortals, and to fool the people with the teachings of truth, goodness and beauty, and finally achieve their own goals. ”

"Holy!" Yuan Ziyan was a little angry, looked at Yang Tong and said, "The Holy Lord is too disrespectful to the 'Dao Ancestor', right?" ”

"You are wrong again, I am not disrespectful to the 'Taoist ancestor', let alone reject morality, and even worship Zhuangzi quite a lot." Yuan Ziyan's hat was too big, of course Yang Tong wouldn't carry it, and then said: "I believe in the cycle of heavenly dao, and I also believe in the morality of truth, goodness and beauty, but I don't believe in you pseudo-ways just like ordinary people don't believe in corrupt officials and corrupt officials. ”

Is there a true person in the world?

Of course there are, but they are extremely rare and extremely rare. At least this Yuan Ziyan in front of him is not a person who is sincere to the Tao.

Yuan Ziyan took a long time before he said: "Then why does the saint think that a person is a real Taoist priest. ”

Yang Tong said, "Those who are pure and inactive, self-reliant, secluded in the mountains, and plough are the true Tao. Didn't you say that the law is natural? Strife in the world is also a natural phenomenon, and if you interfere, it is a great disrespect to 'morality' and 'Taoism'. ”

Yuan Ziyan has nothing to say and nothing to do, because what Yang Tong said is the core idea of Taoism.

But according to Yang Tong, a real Taoist priest should live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and live a bitter life. Yuan Ziyan meddled in mortal affairs, so it was naturally a hypocrisy.

"Poof"

"Poof"

Seeing that Yang Tong said that Yuan Ziyan was speechless, Luo Shixin and the others couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"The Holy Lord's ability to sophistry is great, I can't say anything about the Holy One." Yuan Ziyan didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Yang Tong's words, but said with a calm face: "Holy Lord, except for Zhang Jiao, who was lost by secular rights, my Taoist family has been following the trend since ancient times, and there is no contradiction with the secular law. The Holy One advocates a hundred schools of thought, and my Taoist is not among them? ”

"Yes, of course." Yang Tong nodded affirmatively, and said: "I am not opposed to any religion spreading faith in the Great Sui, as long as you are supported by the people, I will never care, but any sect must be within the laws of my Great Sui... In the event of a conflict between the rules of the sect and the law, the law of the land shall prevail... No one, no denomination's rules can be beyond the law, that's the limit! ”

Yuan Ziyan nodded and said, "I also think that it is a matter of course to kill people to pay for their lives and repay debts. ”

"Keeping up with the laws of the country is also one of the highlights of my appreciation of Taoism." Yang Tong smiled and said, "You are not like the Buddhists, their sayings of 'putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot' and 'taking refuge in Buddhism' have caused many people to join the temple to seek refuge when they commit crimes." What is the result? As a result, good cannot be promoted and evil cannot be eliminated. What is the principle of heaven? What is the law of justice? The reason why I didn't have an amnesty is because I don't want to let the criminals go unpunished... In the future, the Great Sui Dynasty will not have an amnesty for the world, the purpose is to avoid some lucky people who think that there is a chance to wait for the amnesty and take risks. ”

Yuan Ziyan thought for a while, his bright eyes suddenly looked at Yang Tong, and said, "It means that the Holy Lord allows Taoists to preach in the Great Sui Realm?" ”

"You lead people to goodness, I hope that the road will not be left behind, and the world will be peaceful, of course, there is no reason not to support it. However, it is necessary to eliminate things that do not conform to the rules, and if evil deeds occur, not only can they not shield the criminals, but they must also cooperate with the imperial court to punish the criminals according to law, whether this person is a Taoist priest or a common person. ”

"Besides, I don't want you to make any living immortals, Heavenly Princes, and Earth Princesses come out to deceive and shake my rule." If these conditions are met, Yang Tong can give her a chance.

"Nope! We will never do anything that is detrimental to the country. Yuan Ziyan didn't expect things to turn around, his plain face was so excited that a touch of red flew up, and he said with joy in his cold voice: "The saint is a sword-based hero, killing all the way, and finally achieving today's great cause." Nowadays, under the rule of the Great Sui, everyone is happy and respects the saint as sacred, and no morality can affect the authority of the saint. ”

"The people revere me as sacred, not because of my status as emperor, but because I bring a real and beautiful life to the people... Li Yuan couldn't do this, and the people of Guanzhong forgot about him because of this... In the same way, if you Taoists can bring a better life to the people, then you are also sacred in the hearts of the people! Therefore, the key to the dispute between the various factions is not doctrine and sect, and the point of contention is not above the court, but to be down-to-earth and do practical things, Taoism does well, the people believe in Taoism, if they do not do well, the people believe in other people's homes. ”

Yang Tong looked at the excited Yuan Ziyan, and suddenly thought of the word 'Taoist and Buddhist disputes', because Emperor Wen grew up in the temple back then, and after he became the emperor, he was very good to Buddhism, which led to temples everywhere, and it was even more crazy to develop during the period of Emperor Wu, so Buddhism in the Sui Dynasty has always been Buddhism pressing the Taoist gate. Yuan Ziyan went to find Emperor Wu, but of course he couldn't get support.

Thinking that the Tang Dynasty established Taoism as the state religion in history, and thought that it was also at the beginning of the business to have a certain connection with Taoism, he suddenly smiled and said: "According to legend, Taoism was created by Li Er, you should have looked for Li Yuan and Li Mi, do you plan to arrange the identity of a descendant of Li Er for them?" And do you feel that they have no future, and they are forced to find me because of the situation? ”

In an instant, Yuan Ziyan's small mouth opened wide, and he looked at Yang Tong with frightened eyes, they did say so, and even the person they chose at the beginning was surnamed Li, and they didn't consider the Sui Dynasty that advocated Buddhism at all, until the Great Sui Dynasty rose rapidly under the leadership of Yang Dong, and then they planned to find Yang Dong, but how did Yang Dong know?
