Chapter Twenty-Five: Sabre-rattling
Yang Ze's expression gradually became solemn, all because he couldn't figure out the fog in it, "This is your business with the countries of the Eastern Continent, how could the Orthodox Sect intervene? Could it be that now the war on the Eastern Continent has also fallen to the three major powers?"
On the eastern continent, the location of the Great Ye Kingdom is the most precipitous, respectively located in the Liushuang of the subordinate countries on the edge of the Gaowen Empire, between the cracks of Anhui and Jin, and the coastline is adjacent to such a maritime power as the Deer Island Country, it can be said that the geographical location is the most unfavorable, and now that the war is fighting, it is necessary to read the front against the three kingdoms, if one of the four holy places such as the Orthodox Church also falls to the enemy, then the situation will be quite grim. Yang Ze firmly believes that whether it is this world or that world, the most murderous and unblinking is still the sect that is called religion, these sects that are controlled from behind the scenes.
"His Holiness hasn't been out of the mountain for so many years, and he has been living in seclusion and concentrating on cultivation, so it's no wonder that he doesn't know the situation," Luo Xiong hurriedly shook his head, "It's not just that the Orthodox Sect has fallen to the three major countries. The three great powers could ignore the warnings of the Tang Empire and brazenly launch a war against the Great Ye Kingdom, but I am afraid that it was all the instigation and support of the Orthodox Church behind the scenes! It is well known that Kashima and Daye went to war because of the "Red Chamber Incident". Dongzheng Yinguang ** Wang has traveled to Liushuang, Anhui and Jinjin royal courts. It is said that a secret conversation was initiated, but it is naturally unknown what exactly the plot was talking about."
However, not long after that, a cultivator from the Flowing Frost Country disappeared in the territory of Daye, and the Flowing Frost Country broke into the border of Daye under the pretext of searching, and had a violent conflict with the border soldiers. A few days later, a group of exiled cavalry of the Anhui Jin State raided the border villages of Daye, burned and looted, and was annihilated by the troops who arrived. Now the land of Daye is in a war. Without the support of the Orthodox Church, how could the two great powers brazenly send troops at the risk of the wrath of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Why did the Orthodox Church provoke this war?" Yang Ze frowned.
"I'm afraid this is the result of the sedimentation of the problems of the past," Luo Xiong shook his head, "Venerable should know that among the four holy gates, the Tang Empire has always admired the doctrine of Xituo and alienated other sects. The Orthodox Church was the state religion of the Gaowen Empire. The Gaowen Empire has always been in conflict with the Tang Empire, and the Orthodox Church has always wanted to spill doctrines into the Tang Dynasty in order to complete the doctrinal invasion. But it's a pity that the Tang Dynasty has never abandoned foreign religions, and the Orthodox Church is in the Tang Empire, but I'm afraid it's not as good as even a third-rate small religion. So the Orthodox Church is evil. ”
"And the current queen of Daye Kingdom is the third princess who is the most favored by the monarch of the Tang Empire. Half a year ago, the Orthodox Church, which originally planned to enter the Tang Empire, was repatriated from the Great Ye Kingdom with swords and soldiers, which means that the Orthodox Church's plan to advance eastward for the fifth time in ten years was officially aborted, and the Orthodox Church can be said to have a deep grudge against the monarch of the Tang Dynasty. Now that they have a God-given opportunity for the Kashima Kingdom to attack Daye, how could they miss the opportunity to stir up trouble behind their backs?"
Yang Ze vaguely remembered seeing the queen of Daye, who was a very beautiful woman, and was said to be one of the top ten beauties of the Tang Dynasty. If there is a woman who plays a huge role in the Da Ye Kingdom, then Queen Zhen Yuan definitely deserves it, "Since Queen Da Ye was the most favored third princess of the Tang Dynasty Emperor back then, aren't they worried, the father still loves his daughter, Da Ye suffered from this crisis, and the Tang Empire could not stand by in the end." ”
"That's true. But His Holiness should also know that there have been too many kings in history who have married their favorite daughters to foreign clans in order to keep their country away from the sword soldiers. Giving up a daughter, this is not a difficult decision for an emperor, you know, Gaowen and Sheng Tang have long had an agreement, although the countries of Daye, Liushuang, and Wanjin are subordinate countries of the empire, but foreign affairs and internal affairs are taken care of, and the empire must not interfere. That is to say, as long as there is no evidence of the Gaowen Empire sending troops to intervene, the Sheng Tang Empire has no position to send troops for the Great Ye State to settle this military war, if that is the case, it is the Sheng Tang Empire that breaks the agreement first, then it will fall into an absolutely unfavorable situation. ”
"It is precisely at this point that the patriarch of the Orthodox Church, King Yinguang**, is fearless and threatens to break through the country of Daye, and the country of Daye is said to be the time to kill the queen of Daye, the third princess of the Tang Dynasty. In such a tragic way, we must teach the arrogant Tang Dynasty a bloody lesson!"
The world is dangerous, and it is never full of warmth. There are only ugly situations, struggles, contradictions, fights, and conflicts of interest.
Kingdoms can be at war because of borders because of the monarch's hostility, because your people are better off than me, and hatred of the rich, and sects can parasitize and enslave countless mediocre beings under the banner of giving orders to heaven, turning people into tools for the pursuit of absolute obedience. God's right hand can hold the truth, the gospel, and love, while the left hand can hold purgatory, blood, and brutality.
And the important thing is that Yang Ze was not shocked by all this strangeness, so he rejected it and became out of place, and even lost confidence in the world and finally became depressed.
Struggle is a disaster for the weak, but for the strong, it is a step to the dark throne
"So even if the Venerable goes out of the mountain again, Luo Xiong has a saying here, I don't know if I should persuade or not" Luo Xiong paused and said, "Now is not the same time, even if the Venerable is famous all over the world, he can fight with the King of Yinguang." However, now the situation is not what it used to be, the "Nine Burnings" of King Yinguang ** has been practiced, and the cultivation has reached the point of unfathomable depth, and it is more than ten years ago to reach the level of perfection, and few cultivators in the eastern continent are qualified to sit side by side with him. Even if His Holiness succeeds in "Return to the Light", if he rashly challenges it, with all due respect, I am afraid it will be difficult to help him. ”
Of course, Yang Ze knew that Luo Xiong was embarrassed by his "identity", and he didn't dare to say that he would definitely lose. It's good that Yang Ze is really not the Soul Venerable, otherwise he might really suffer a heavy blow to his self-esteem.
"Yinguang Dharma King" Yang Ze muttered this name, his expression uncertain.
For Yang Ze, the most fortunate thing now is probably that he is not this Venerable who is destined to be a little sad. Of course, his real purpose is not to kill the Orthodox Sect and kill the King of Yinguang. But this Orthodox sect can be said to be his enemy who looms behind the corner of the glacier.
When he was in Dihai, he had seen a descendant from the Orthodox Sect, and his impression of this sect was naturally bad, and it was conceivable that the two most outstanding young disciples of the Orthodox Sect today, Fannan and Futu, were beaten into pigs' heads by him, as long as they knew that he had reappeared in the world, the other party would definitely not let him go easily.
And Yang Ze has always paid attention to karmic retribution, and forgiving his enemies is the biggest crime against himself. Yang Ze naturally couldn't commit a crime against himself, so he had no choice but to commit a crime against the enemy.
Naturally, he couldn't let the other party go. Not only that, when he and Ji Ling'er were embarrassed in Dihai, the guys from the top ten sects of the continent of Xuanyuan and the two brothers and sisters, don't bump into their hands, if it falls into their own hands, he will definitely count the account of being chased and killed at that time, and raise his eyebrows fiercely!
Since it is not the real "Beast Riding Venerable", the account of the Orthodox Sect instigating the Three Kingdoms to attack Daye will be written down first and calculated later. Of course, Yang Ze's top priority was not to kill the Orthodox Church headquarters, he still cared about what happened in Dihai half a year ago, and asked Luo Xiong about it.
Naturally, I hope that the most famous and well-informed county lord in the vicinity will reveal some information. When it was said that Ji Ling'er, Xuanyuan Qinglang and others were in danger. But it was still beyond Yang Ze's expectations, Luo Xiong didn't know anything about what happened in Dihai half a year ago, he just knew that at that time, the outstanding young people of the ten major sects in the Eastern Continent had collectively gone out to practice, and this kind of experience was a common thing, but half a year ago, the ten major sects were surprisingly consistent, which may be the only abnormal place in the normalcy. The deeper inside story is not something that a county lord like Luo Xiong, who lives in the eastern continent, can understand.
It can also be seen how secret the ten major sects are about this matter. Presumably, the transmission of the message was limited to the eastern continent.
Luo Xiong's admonition to Yang Ze only stopped there. Seeing that he had nothing else to say, he said goodbye.
When Luo Xiong returned to the manor, many people in the castle immediately inquired about the current considerations and thoughts of Venerable Soul Light.
When he heard from Luo Xiong's mouth that he did not want to find the Orthodox Church immediately, the hope and blood of countless people fell into the freezing point.
When everyone thought about it carefully, they knew that the Soul Light Venerable must also have his deep helplessness. Although he said that he was once the first cultivator in Changlu Kingdom, it was more than ten years ago after all, and time could easily change a person's spleen and surname. What's more, more than ten years ago, on behalf of Chang Luguo, he tried to prevent the Orthodox Church from spreading its teachings, but he was defeated at the hands of King Yinguang.
At that time, the power of the Orthodox Church in this Changlu country did not have the current one, and it was said that Zhongtian was invincible. Now the Orthodox Church is even more talented, and the sect leader of the sect in the central continent alone, Yu Li, is highly respected by the king of Yinguang, who has achieved great achievements. Not only that, Yuli's left and right protectors, Ao Chong and Kuro are all outstanding masters on the Megatron side. These people alone are afraid that they are not much weaker than the souls of the past. Now Yinguang has become the archbishop who presides over the Orthodox Church. Because of the cultivation of "Nine Burns**", his cultivation has reached a higher level, and he is definitely in the realm above the Daotong. No matter how diligently he diligently refined, in the face of the Seal Light that had already defeated him back then and made a breakthrough in his cultivation, what was the chance that he would be disgraced? Almost no one was willing to think deeply about this pitiful and extremely pitiful possibility.
Qishan Spirit Plantation went up and down, and immediately became powerless again. It's like a person who was drowning in the sea and was about to catch his breath, and he was overjoyed when he caught something, but then found that it was a straw. It is like a basin of ice water, poured on the flame of hope that people have ignited because of luck
In the next few days, Yang Ze also came and went freely in and out of the manor, but the enthusiasm of people to watch him gradually decreased.
Two days later, the one acre of spiritual field that was sown grew fruit with a rich fragrance and a fluctuating inner energy.
It's a pity that Yang Ze is still inexperienced as a spirit sculptor, and he has not mastered the broad and profound spirit sculpting. The aura energy can only be extracted by constructing and decomposing the inner aura veins of the decomposition artifact. It is not possible to decompose and extract Reiki from plant fruits that grow completely naturally. Otherwise, these spiritual fruits are not only a feast for Dao Zun, but also a feast for his spiritual veins.
Daozun ate it to his heart's content, and most of the remaining spirit fruits were picked by Song Zhen and stored in his own bag. The spiritual liquid of the Heavenly Ruins cannot produce spiritual energy in vain, but can only gather the spiritual energy below the soil and use it to achieve the effect of quickly giving birth to spiritual fruits. After picking it once, the aura of the soil became as thin as before, and the use of the spirit gathering liquid had no effect. If you want to use the spiritual liquid to gather the deep aura of the soil, you must at least wait for the deep aura of the soil to recover. This recovery period is usually one and a half years.
However, the spirit fruit harvested this time was enough for Dao Zun to eat for a month.
"Why, you, the bastard Venerable, suddenly became unwanted?" Song Zhen asked with a sideways look after collecting the spirit fruit. These days, she doesn't leave the house except to take care of Lingtian, but it seems that everything is under control.
"None of your business. Yang Ze patted the head of Daozun who was eating.
Song Zhen narrowed his eyes, "Why don't you care about my business, don't worry, even if others don't need you, there are still people in this world who need you." ”
Song Zhen's most memorable thing is her pair of flustering legs under her thin skirt like cicada wings, if it weren't for her constant vigilance against her possible outburst, Yang Ze couldn't deny that having her by her side was a very eye-catching thing. And words like "I need you" came out of her red lips, and I was afraid that any man would tremble for it.
But Yang Ze knew that the woman in front of him was very likely to be a Tianxu Lingzun who was beautiful on the outside, but in fact there might not be half of human emotion. So whatever she says at the moment could be a strategy to get him into line.
It was Yang Ze who stared at her fiercely from top to bottom with a blasphemous gaze, and said with a smile, "Do you need me, or do Tianxu need me to pay for everything before?"
"You can think whatever you want. Song Zhen said lightly, "But in the final result, you will definitely be captured by me and return to Tianxu and accept the punishment you deserve." Rest assured, I have many more ways to repay you for your rudeness to me along the way. ”
Yang Ze thought of the prohibition she had left in her body, and couldn't help but be a little cold, "You are a Heavenly Ruins Spiritual Venerable, but the method you use doesn't seem to be above board at all. ”
Song Zhenmei glanced at him very naturally, "To a righteous man and a gentleman, I will naturally understand it." But for a shameless person like you, I don't think I need to be so open-minded. What's more, I'm a woman, and I don't mind using some small means to achieve something that could have been achieved with a lot of effort. If one day, the Heavenly Ruins put the power to punish you in my hands, I will have many ways to make you feel that life is a very boring and painful thing. ”
Yang Ze's eyes flickered, "Then please don't fall into my hands, otherwise I don't mind experiencing something truly shameless in you." ”
The two stared at each other indiscriminately. The air seemed to freeze to the extreme.
The sudden alarm bells of the castle shattered the peace of the bird-swept manor.
On top of the castle barrier, the warriors guarding the castle suddenly drew their bows and arrows. In the fortress, women and children took refuge in their rooms, and the armed warriors of the fort entered their respective defense areas in an urgent but orderly manner, showing the quality of being tempered.
The alarm bell is ringing constantly. The interior of the castle was in a tense state of readiness amid the brief chaotic sound of hooves and footsteps.
The sky is full of black clouds!
Luo Xiong, who had climbed the barrier, saw the situation in the fertile field outside the castle at a glance, and his face jumped slightly, "It's a member of the Great Yue Sect!"
