Chapter 36. Big wedding
In fact, Ling'er's return did not have much impact on the current situation of Nanzhao, because except for the witch king and other high-ranking officials of Nanzhao, the vast majority of Nanzhao's subjects did not know about it.
In the case that the Witch King and others deliberately blocked the news, most of the people of Nanzhao did not have much real feeling about Ling'er's return at all.
After all, the Witch King and others needed the identity of the descendants of Ling'er Nuwa to inspire the people, collect the hearts of the people for their own use, and use them to fight against the Lunatic Cult, but at this moment, they wished that the people would no longer believe in Nuwa.
Therefore, out of selfishness, the witch king did not agree to Ling'er's request to succeed the saint and come forward to appease the people, and even put Ling'er and others under house arrest in the palace in disguise, and even thought of using Ling'er to marry and win over a certain important minister of Nanzhao.
Then people from Elder Shi's faction appeared, and on the grounds that the Witch King was now old and decrepit, they wanted to force the Witch King to abdicate and elect Ling'er to the throne.
When they went to find Ling'er, they used the righteous name of saving the people of Nanzhao, but after Ling'er returned, from beginning to end, these people did not really cooperate with Ling'er to make any substantive moves to save the people, but just used her as a bargaining chip in the political/political power struggle.
Fortunately, among the Nanzhao, there are not people who support Ling'er at all, such as the holy aunt.
Nanzhao's holy aunt has always been the help of Nuwa's descendants, and the holy aunt was her good assistant before Ling'er's mother's death, and now that Ling'er has returned, she will naturally help Ling'er with all her might.
In addition, Shenggu's friend, a rare female general in the Nanzhao army, Nanban Sanwei, also supports Ling'er, hoping that Ling'er can control the situation in Nanzhao and completely solve the chaos that has lasted for decades in Nanzhao.
Therefore, if Ling'er wants to save Nanzhao and reverse the current chaos in Nanzhao, the first thing to do is to solve the constraints of the high-level Nanzhao leaders, including the Witch King.
Li Xiaoyao, who wanted to help Ling'er, but couldn't think of any way to crack it, found Lu Zhi for advice, hoping to find a solution from him.
And the method given by Lu Zhi is also very simple, with the current situation of Nanzhao, if you want to solve the chaos, the most effective and fastest way is naturally to cut through the chaos with a quick knife and directly use strong force? Sweep everything away? Naturally, it will be able to break the game.
Ling'er may not be able to let go of such limitations? But Li Xiaoyao has to have that courage! Otherwise, what could he do to help Ling'er?
A man who wants to help his beloved? Should you have the ability and courage to help it shelter from the wind and rain? Ling'er is unwilling to force each other by force? Then let Li Xiaoyao come.
Night? Li Xiaoyao concealed Ling'er and found Nanban Sanwei and Shenggu? Have a plan with them? Then he broke into the palace alone? Forcing the Witch King to announce Ling'er's identity to the people of Nanzhao? and abdicate.
The next day? The edict of the abdication of the witch king spread all over Nanzhao, and when everyone was caught off guard, Ling'er officially succeeded to the throne of Nanzhao, but this also exacerbated the internal conflict of Nanzhao, many people couldn't sit still, and the hidden danger of Nanzhao that lasted for decades finally broke out completely!
But Li Xiaoyao and Nanban Sanwei, who had been prepared for a long time, were one step faster than those people.
As soon as Elder Shi, who wanted to enter the palace for questioning, left the mansion, he was stopped by Wang Xiaohu and Jiang Wan'er, and the Nanzhao army was also suppressed by the parts under the command of Nanban Sanwei, so there was no chaos.
As for the rest of the Nanzhao ministers, they hadn't even made a splash, and they had already been easily solved by Li Xiaoyao and them.
In fact, as early as many years ago, those ministers of Nanzhao had been almost cleaned up by the Lunatic Sect Master and his Lunatic Sect, and if the Lunatic Sect Master wanted to, he could completely eliminate them at any time and let Nanzhao change the sky overnight.
And now that they have been replaced by Li Xiaoyao, they can also easily solve these people who still can't see themselves clearly.
They thought that as long as the Lunatic Cult was gone, they would be able to become the new masters of Nanzhao, but in fact, no matter what time it was, they were just dry bones in the grave after all.
That's it, just a few days of hard work, before Ling'er could react, Li Xiaoyao, as well as Shenggu, Nanban Sanwei and others, had already cleared all obstacles for her.
The biggest obstacle has been removed, and all that remains is to appease those people of Nanzhao.
Ling'er's gentleness and kindness, and the maternal brilliance of Nuwa's descendants who love the world are also vividly expressed at this moment.
The conflicts between the various ministries of Nanzhao, the differences in ideas, the worries and contradictions of the people, she tried her best to resolve and guide, everything is developing in a good direction, and the chaotic situation in Nanzhao for many years is finally possible to be resolved.
Although it may take a long time, Ling'er's performance is undoubtedly much better than that of the Witch King and others, at least she is really doing her best.
However, the Moon Worship Sect Master was not optimistic about Ling'er's performance, because he didn't believe that just Ling'er's naïve thoughts could really relieve Nanzhao's stubborn illness that had lasted for decades.
In this regard, Lu Zhi was noncommittal, and only said that he would wait and see.
After another month, the situation in Nanzhao had initially stabilized, and Lu Zhi, Wang Xiaohu, and Jiang Wan'er also bid farewell to Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao and returned to the Central Plains.
In a blink of an eye, six years have flown by.
On this day, Lu Zhi came to Nanzhao again, and he came this time to attend the wedding of Li Xiaoyao and Ling'er.
Under Ling'er's unremitting efforts, in the past six years, Nanzhao has changed a lot, everything has changed for the better, the civil strife has initially subsided, and the people's lives have become richer.
The Miao people of the black and white parts also got together again after a long absence, drinking, laughing, and dancing around the bonfire, which is the most intuitive change.
Although there are still some ill-intentioned people peeping in the dark, they can no longer make any waves.
Lu Zhi also met the Moon Worship Sect Master again at the wedding banquet, and he said goodbye to Lu Zhi, saying that he wanted to travel the world again.
Although he did not explicitly say whether he had found the answer he wanted, it was clear that he had already thought about it again.
"Master."
"Captain Lu."
Lu Zhi turned his head and looked at the two newcomers who came to toast him, and inadvertently glanced at Ling'er, from Ling'er's body, he felt the birth of a new life.
However, for the descendants of Nuwa, the birth of a new life also means that this generation of Nuwa's descendants is coming to an end.
The descendants of Nuwa have always been inherited by blood, and the divine power in their bloodlines has fulfilled them, allowing them to have incredible power as girls.
But it is precisely because of this divine power passed down from generation to generation that each generation of Nuwa gives birth to a daughter, and after passing on the divine power in the bloodline, it will quickly decline.
He said, "It seems that you are about to become parents.... Well, it's time too. ”
As he spoke, he saw that as soon as Lu Zhi turned over his hand, there was an extra three-grade green lotus in his hand, and the lotus platform was also dotted with five-colored spirit beads.
"This three-grade green lotus will be given to you as a wedding gift."
"Ling'er, you will return this green lotus to the sea of knowledge, nourish your body with the qi of the green lotus's creation, and pass on to you a magical power of mediation and creation, after practicing, you can avoid the disadvantages of your Nuwa's descendants."
This three-grade green lotus was cultivated by Lu Zhi with the water of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool and the Three Light Divine Water as the pool after the creation of the Qinglian was promoted to the twelfth grade many years ago and the lotus seeds were produced.
Coupled with the five spirit beads, as well as the magic power of mediation and creation, it is enough to make up for the shortcomings of the bloodline of Ling'er Childwa, although after giving birth to her daughter, her divine power will inevitably be greatly reduced, but it will only gradually transform into ordinary, but there will be no such regret of life and death separation.
It is also worth mentioning that Lu Zhi had not collected the water spirit bead before, until one day a few years ago, this spirit bead suddenly appeared in front of him.
Perhaps in the dark, some people also hope that he can help Nuwa's descendants get rid of such a tragic fate.
