Chapter 71 Drawing of lots
Li Xiancai just nodded in agreement, thinking that there would be a day as a buffer, but as if Rou Xi had already prepared, he patted his jade hand and suddenly the door of the side hall opened, and a group of three or five proud Taoist priests walked in from outside.
The Taoist robes worn by this group of Taoist priests were embroidered with the word 'rice' in obvious letters, and Li Xian realized that they might be Taoist priests of the Five Bucket Rice Dao.
The Dragon Descending Sect is located in the southwest, and the relationship with the Five Dou Rice Dao is very intensive, but Li Xian has the Dragon Descending Token personally given by the ancestor of the Dragon Descending Sect, and he is much more relieved to face them.
"Amitabha. Fellow Daoists, but you are from the Western Five Dou Rice Sect?" While asking, Li Xian pinned the Dragon Descending Token in his arms to his waist to show his identity.
Seeing the waist card on the monk's waist in front of him, a group of Taoist priests really moved, and they no longer dared to despise Li Xian, and there was a faint sense of respect in their expressions.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. Yes, we are from the Western Five Bucket Rice Road. "There was a kind old Taoist priest in the Taoist group, and looking at the respect of the surrounding Taoist priests for him, his status was not low.
Originally, the old man's answer was ordinary and not surprising. Li Xian only needs to know that they are Taoist priests from the Five Bucket Rice Dao.
However, looking at the familiar face of this old Taoist priest, how did Li Xian look like the old monk of the lama temple who followed him all the way, especially the mole at the corner of his mouth, it was completely him who was impartial.
Nima, how can he be everywhere. How did he escape from the prison, and what did he want to do by blending in with the Taoist priests?
The more Li Xian looked at this 'old-fashioned' hair, the more it looked like it was glued from behind, and it was not natural at all.
And the old way seemed to be unnatural by Li Xian, and his hand unconsciously touched his hair, and when he saw that there was no flaw, he said: "Ami... Ahem, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable.
Our Taoist priests came to Anping City mainly to preach, and we will ask the monks to bear with us for the competition later. ”
The old Taoist was extremely unnatural when he spoke, and a pair of hands habitually had to put their hands together to sing the Buddha's name, and through the later will, it could be regarded as a stubborn transformation into a Taoist priest.
Li Xian looked at the face of this old Taoist who looked more and more like, and secretly swore in his heart that if it weren't for the old monk, he could have committed suicide by swallowing dung.
......
You old monk think that I don't know you if you hang your hair? In this group of Taoist priests who have five buckets of rice and Taoism, I'm afraid you want to do something in the preaching of Tianshui Kingdom, right?
Hmph, I've already seen through your intentions, why don't you invite them truthfully?
......
Is this bald donkey sick? Why is it staring at me so hard?
Li Xian and the old Taoist stared at each other, and when they 'eyebrows came and went' in their unique way, Rou Xi came out just right to stir up the situation.
"Ahem, I ask you to have a competition between Taoism and Buddhism. As I said before, draw lots and draw lots, and whoever of you draws well wins.
Hee-hee, it's the easiest way to compete, and it's also the hardest. If I personally draw lots and ask you to solve your doubts to determine the winner, it is all up to you to say good or bad, and it is hard to guarantee that you will not be dumb and ask me to leak my mouth.
Therefore, it is far less simple and convenient than this, and the winner will be determined by one sign!"
Looking at the young empress's eyebrows and smiling, the straightforward expression made the Taoist and Buddhist families kill each other, and Tianshui Kingdom sat on the wall to watch and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
However, the two sides of the Tao and Buddha could not refuse, so they could only unconditionally enter the trap set by Rou Xi.
Li Xian didn't refuse because he wanted to delay time, and he hoped that the two apprentices could give some strength and save him from the palace. If it really doesn't work, then you can only use the only two runes left on your body, and activate the Moldy Saint Bad Luck to rush out all the way.
As for the reason why Taoists can't refuse, it's nothing more than a Taoist problem. Currying favor with the female emperor of Tianshui is equivalent to obtaining the key to preaching to Tianshui Kingdom, and it is worth it no matter what the price is.
......
"Hee-hee, the game is about to start, let's talk about the winner's reward.
One party has a chance, and the winner of the lottery can be respected as a guest of honor by our Tianshui country, and the state religion can also be discussed. You can even have the honor to participate in the next five-nation military parade and enjoy endless glory. Rou Xi said with a bright smile.
And although she is smiling, there is a hazy beauty in her delicate facial features, which makes people unable to figure out her thoughts.
Li Xian has only traveled for half a year, and he really doesn't know much about the military parade of the five countries, but through the unconvinced inquiries of a group of Taoist priests on the other side, he can guess eight or nine.
The military parade of the five countries is that the secular emperors of the five countries gather together to show the armament of their respective countries through the parade.
Moreover, the capital is gathered, and it is impossible to go back separately after a military parade. Emperors of various countries will always talk about friendship in private, and while courting allies, they will not hesitate to use interests to solve the irreconcilable contradictions of the past......
And the question of Wudou Midao is that in the past, the time of the military parade of the five countries was set at the end of December, and now it is only the fourth month of the lunar calendar, is it too early?
"The emperors of the five kingdoms have gathered in Anping. After speaking, Rou Xi replied to the Taoist priests with an inexplicable smile, and the rest of the meaning was up to them to guess.
Actually, it's just a matter of guessing or not. The demon clan rose in the daughter city, and the powerful strength displayed was far from being able to resist one of the five elements country, and only by uniting together could it be possible to suppress these alien races. (The Five Elements Kingdom thinks so)
And at this time, counting the 'daughter city' that Tianshui Kingdom lost a long time ago, and the five cities that were taken out by Mo Yanyun and the Liaoyuan County that was sandwiched in the middle, a total of seven defensive cities in the northeast direction were lost.
These cities all fell into the hands of the demon clan, and the Tianshui Kingdom completely lost control of the northeast region. At the same time as the strength is weakened, the demon race will become stronger and more ambitious, and there will be no panic in the secular Five Elements Kingdom.
Therefore, the advance of the military parade of the five countries is not so difficult to guess. It's just a different kind of alliance.
However, now this word can decide the life and death of thousands of people, but in front of them, the situation of betting to decide the domestic missionary matters.
This is a way for her to resist the demon clan's entry into the palace, and to open the country to completely let the Taoist preach, and want to gain the support of soldiers and horses from all countries?
The Taoist priests had some guesses, and their expressions were quite excited. However, when he looked at the little monk who was the opponent of himself and others, he did not regard Buddhism as an obstacle to the preaching of himself and others. thinks that this is done deliberately by Rou Xi, so as to give Tianshui Country a step down through the competition.
