After Ying Kuang returned to the mortal world, he did not return to his original residence, but chose to settle on a deserted snowfield in the extreme west of the Great Zhou.

Although the Heavenly Star Monarch had retreated last time, it was difficult to guarantee when he would come back, so he did not make any contact with the two disciples again. From this moment on, he will cut off everything in the past and deal with the encirclement and suppression of the Heavenly Court on his own.

On this day, he was sitting cross-legged on the field, silently pranayama.

Suddenly, a spiritual light fell from the sky, and the direction it fell was where he was.

He opened his eyes and looked, but he didn't get up, because the other party's qi was calm, and there was no trace of murder.

The aura fell to the ground for a moment, but did not make any movement, and when it dispersed, an old man with a bright head appeared from inside, dressed in a deep coat with a collar, and his head was not crowned, his person was kind and kind-looking, smiled at him and arched his hand, and said: "Zuo Yuzhong has always been good?"

When Ying Kuang saw the person who came, he said unexpectedly: "Open Star Officer?"

This open star official was originally a scattered immortal, and after entering the heavenly court, he was only given an idle position, but he was good at dancing with long sleeves, and could speak well, and had a good reputation, and was a frequent guest at the banquet of the heavenly court, and the relationship with the immortal officials of the Hao and Chang clans was quite good.

Chang Xingguan smiled: "It's the little old man." ”

Ying Kuang thought for a moment and said, "Did Heavenly Court send you to be a lobbyist?"

He was originally Zuo Yuzhong, and he was very familiar with Heavenly Court's style, and the arrival of this person was undoubtedly a signal that Heavenly Court wanted to reconcile with him, thinking of the last time the Heavenly Star Monarch suddenly retreated, he guessed that Heavenly Court must have encountered some trouble, otherwise he would not have made such a compromise.

Chang Xingguan smiled bitterly: "Zuo Yuzhong looks down on the little old man, he is resolute and resolute, and he is very comparable. ”

He knew that the person in front of him was not a fool, if he beat around the bush and didn't like it in his heart, it was better to say it directly, so he directly explained his intentions: "This time, under the order of the Emperor of Heaven, he came to persuade peace, if Zuo Yuzhong is willing to stop and no longer be embarrassed by the Heavenly Court, then all the previous mistakes can no longer be investigated," he said earnestly: "Zuo Yuzhong, Your Majesty also knows what temperament you have, and this time you are treated very well." ”

Ying Kuang said lightly: "Oh?

Chang Xingguan nodded heavily and said, "That's the case." ”

Ying Kuang looked into the distance and said: "The heavenly family is ruthless, with the heart of the emperor today, it is not surprising at all to give this edict to win a certain person, but the mother and son of Changtian were punished, is he willing to let Ying a certain go?"

The lord of the heavenly court is the Hao family, but the Chang family is also equally important, it also represents a part of the will of the heavenly court, if this one does not forgive, the emperor's edict of heaven may not be able to be used as a talisman.

Chang Xingguan said: "If Zuo Yuzhong is still not at ease, there is still something here." He reached out and pulled out a talisman.

When Ying Kuang saw this, his expression couldn't help but change slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "The Taishang pardons?"

Chang Xingguan said: "This is, this is the pardon edict issued by the Taishang of the Virtue Dao, as long as Zuo Yuzhong agrees to stay out of the matter and not intervene in the battle for the throne in the future, then this thing can be taken away." ”

Ying Kuang thought for a while, suddenly raised his head, his eyes were shining, and he looked directly at the open star official and said, "The emperor is ready to appoint the fourteenth emperor as the successor?"

Chang Xingguan's expression froze, then he coughed, shook his head again and again, and said, "This is not something that the little old man can ask." ”

Ying Kuang didn't ask any more questions, but judging from the other party's deliberate reaction, he knew that he should have guessed correctly.

He has also seen the fourteen emperors, the wisdom is better than the emperors, the most loved by the emperor, there were rumors before, that the eleventh emperor is valued by the emperor, he was the emperor's close servant at that time, but he knew that this is not the case, it is just the appearance that the emperor deliberately revealed in front of people, and its purpose is to protect the fourteen emperors.

It can be said that the Eleventh Emperor was later punished by many emperors and immortal officials, and was even belittled to the Nether, but in fact, he received it on behalf of the Fourteenth Emperor, and he didn't know it at the time.

With this understanding, he also sorted out the clue, it should be because his previous act of killing the second emperor seemed to be against the Heavenly Family, and the Heavenly Emperor wanted to prevent him from attacking this emperor again, so he took a step to stabilize him.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and took the edict.

Seeing him accept it, Chang Xingguan's heart was relieved, and he smiled and said: "There is a moral and pardon edict, Zuo Yuzhong should be relieved, right?"

The person who holds this pardon edict can be exempted from all past crimes, and the heavenly court cannot be pursued again, but this person can no longer be an immortal official, and even the clansmen are among them, but Ying Kuang has already turned out of the heavenly court, and there has never been a clansman around him, so he doesn't care about these anymore.

Ying Kuang is noncommittal, who said that with this edict, he can't continue to fight against Heavenly Court?

He is not a pedantic person, he admires everything he does, since the other party takes the initiative to send it to the door, there is no reason not to use it, and it just happens to paralyze the opponent.

Chang Xingguan didn't care what he did, in short, he had already done his errand this time, and it had nothing to do with him after that, so he said a few polite words and left.

Ying Kuang thought about it in his heart and said: "In this way, the emperor has long made up his mind to choose the fourteenth emperor as the next emperor, and the previous emperors competed for the throne with the intention of letting these emperors consume their own strength, so as to pave the way for this one." ”

He sneered a few times, this idea was a good fight, but since he wanted to overthrow the heavenly court and punish all the gods and men in the world, how could he make it happy?

In the banquet law, the eleventh emperor received an edict from heaven at this time, but he announced that he had entered the pilgrimage, and after he received this edict, he thought that he was going to set the throne to inherit, and he was very excited at first, but after thinking about it again, he found that something was wrong.

After pondering it, he summoned the Shifter, who had already returned to the country, and asked him about it.

After hearing this, he said resolutely: "This is the plan of the Emperor of Heaven, if the emperor goes, he will not be lucky, and he will never go!"

Hao Neng listened and nodded, indicating that he understood.

When the Emperor of Heaven summoned him at this time, he must have been uneasy about any good intentions. Now that he is in the lower realm, and he is blessed under the gate of Lilishan Mountain, he will be fine, if he returns to Heaven, then he can't help himself, the Emperor of Heaven can take him down with an excuse, and then what will he talk about inheriting the throne?

But then he frowned and said, "But if you don't go......"

Yiguang continued: "Is the emperor not afraid that if he doesn't go, then the emperor can use this excuse to regard the emperor and the three emperors as abandoning the opportunity to ascend the throne, or simply declare that the emperor does not respect the emperor and take away the emperor's honor?"

Hao Neng said: "Exactly! I don't know if the Dao Master has a way to resolve it?"

Yiguang said: "This is a conspiracy, no matter whether the emperor goes or not, it can't be avoided." However, the emperor does not have to worry about this, if the emperor is unwilling to abide by his rules, then I will no longer be polite to him from the mountain, and he will not be able to sit on the throne of the heavenly monarch for long. ”

At this time, Haochang, the third emperor, also received an edict, but he also saw through the reason at a glance, but he made the same choice as the eleventh emperor.

It's just that what is wrong with their judgment is that the Heavenly Emperor did not reprimand them for their actions, and it seems that the matter has passed without a disturbance.

In a flash, it is half a load.

In the Dao Palace, Zhang Yanben was sitting, and suddenly, he felt a trace of emotion in his heart, and immediately knew that there was a result in the Heavenly Court, and at this time, a boy came to report, saying that he was asking to see him, and he said: "Call him in." ”

He entered the palace, bowed down, and said: "Patriarch, the Emperor of Heaven has sent down an edict, saying that he has set up the fourteen emperors as the successors of the next emperor, and at the same time issued an edict that because the three emperors and the eleventh emperors did not obey the emperor's orders, they were removed from the name of the immortals, and they were reduced to mortals, and they would never be pardoned." ”

Zhang Yanjaw said: "I already know, I expect that the Emperor of Heaven will have other arrangements, and the Eleventh Emperor needs to be more guarded, you can pay attention to it." ”

Su Guang said seriously: "The disciple has written it down." After another bow, he withdrew.

Zhang Yan smiled lightly, it seems that the Emperor of Heaven finally chose the Tao of Virtue, but he was not surprised by this result, the Emperor of Heaven either fell to them or to the Way of Virtue, there was no third way to go.

The advantage of virtue is that it is originally orthodox, and the heavenly court has been with it for a long time and is familiar with each other, and after the next emperor comes to power, nothing needs to be changed. On the contrary, if the whole way becomes an orthodox religion, many things will need to be overturned and restarted, which is not conducive to the new emperor sitting on the throne, I am afraid that the emperor of heaven made such a decision precisely because he saw this.

However, in this way, the whole way will no longer act according to the past rules, and will go into battle to fight with the virtue as he expected.

When he was thinking about it, he suddenly sensed, smiled slightly, and his mind changed, and he was already in the nameless heavenly palace, and saw that the two Taishang of the whole way had already arrived first, and after waiting for the salute, he sat down.

The person on the left said: "The Emperor of Heaven has set up the fourteenth emperor as the crown prince, and his heart of respecting virtue has been determined, and there is no room for turnaround." However, the change of heaven, if it is not for the Hao family to speculate, I should have done a battle with Dedao to determine the position of the orthodox church. ”

The person on the right looked at Zhang Yan and said, "I don't know how to think about it?"

Zhang Yan's eyes flashed slightly, due to changes in this world, he finally turned according to his wishes, he also looked at the two of them, and said in a straight voice: "Since the poor Dao is allied with the two, he should be in this position with the two." ”

In Xingtaizhou, Haochang, the son of the third emperor, also learned the news that the emperor chose the fourteenth emperor as the successor, his face was gloomy, and he said hatefully: "If you don't believe in your words, how can you be the emperor?"

Yin Ming said on the side: "Since the Emperor of Heaven has made a mistake, it is no longer appropriate to sit on this throne, and I will support His Highness to ascend to the pole, and His Highness does not need to worry about this." ”

Haochang suppressed the anger in his heart, and returned to his usual calm appearance, but he was still a little uneasy, and tried to ask: "Dao Chief, are you sure?" No wonder he has this question, Virtue has always pressed the whole Dao, otherwise he would not have become an orthodox Christian.

Yin Ming said: "Your Royal Highness, don't worry, I haven't fought for virtue before, but because there are three Taishang in charge, this time I have an alliance from the Forgotten Mountain, which can be regarded as equal, even if you can't take all the heavens, you can divide and rule, and you can always protect the next emperor of Your Highness." ”
