Canonizing a piece of mountain and forest as a blessed land dojo to the inheritance of the sect that has contributed to the country has become a practice as early as the Tianxia Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a means for the secular court to envelop the sect of cultivating immortals. Moreover, the canonization is usually the original place where the Zongmen Dojo was located, which is nothing more than adding an additional imperial decree to approve it, or building another palace pavilion.

Fortunately, most of the dojos of the Immortal Cultivation Sect are located in the mountains and wilderness far away from the populated people, and there is no tax input, and it will not harm the state affairs if they are canonized, and they can also get the support of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, so why not?

In the early years of the Xiong Kingdom, in order to win over various sects and ensure that the immortal cultivators were used by them, they once rewarded them with a large number of awards, but they still knew that He Qingchen was in charge, so they made the specific canonization of the statutes.

For this matter, the three elders of Chiyun did not shirk, for them, the world is about to return to stability, and if they can settle the many soldiers and civilians under the rule of Chiyun Capital properly, they should also retire.

The three elders of Chiyun took the initiative to come forward and said that they would accept the canonization of the bear country and accept Cangwuling, so that they could reassure each other's hearts.

And when the household registration map of Chiyundu was sent to the emperor's capital, the emperor summoned his ministers and immediately issued an edict that the counties under the rule of Chiyundu were exempted from taxes for one year. In addition, officials were also dispatched to the newly conquered territory of Dongyang to check the population, restore all industries, and even ask the Hao clan to return slaves and maids, and even let the local strong clans live and move separately, and dismantle the dock forts in various places.

Although some local wealthy clans were dissatisfied with this move, the Bear Kingdom now almost completely occupies the entire Eastern Territory, and the army is also clearing the remnants of the Dongyang Kingdom in various places, and the sword hangs high above their heads, and they can't help but follow it.

And these news, almost without exception, reached the new capital, which had been besieged for many days.

In the face of this newly built fortified city that had been built for more than ten years, the army of the Xiong State did not send troops to attack except for repelling a few breakout light cavalry, and even opened a market outside the city, allowing the people in the city to go out to buy food to satisfy their hunger, provided that Dongyang Guo was willing to open the door and release people.

At the beginning, the Dongyang Kingdom, which could not hold out, refused to let the ordinary people out of the city, but later there was a gradual shortage of food in the city, and even the tragic situation of changing children and eating, even the forbidden army was struggling to survive.

As a last resort, the small court of Dongyang State, which guarded the lonely city alone, could only open the city gate every five days and allow the people to go out.

said that it was to buy food, but almost none of the people who escaped from the city returned, not because there was a bear country to stay, but because no one wanted to be trapped in the city. As for those who were willing to return to the new capital, they were all soldiers of the guards who had been ordered to disguise themselves as civilians to buy food.

"This Luo Yi, after all this situation, still refuses to surrender?"

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Mr. Huaiming snorted coldly and looked at the new capital in the distance.

General Song, who was in charge of commanding the soldiers and horses of the Xiong Kingdom, said: "We have recently sent letters to the city many times to persuade them to surrender, and we also asked those who returned to the city to talk in detail, but unfortunately there was no reply. However, Luo Yi seems to be particularly jealous of this, and those sergeants who have been out of the city often never see each other again. ”

"Killed by him?" Mr. Huaiming shook his head and laughed: "It's really exactly the same as back then, ruthless." ”

While a few people were talking, a personal soldier led Wei Xiuwen over: "General, someone has brought it." ”

General Song got up to greet him: "General Wei, you've been tired of traveling and driving, and you have to come to the dangerous place on the front line." ”

"The general of the defeated army is ashamed to be favored." Today's Wei Xiuwen has gray hair and a cloth coat, and he is no longer as high-spirited as in the past.

"Inviting General Wei to come this time is to ask for something important." After some greetings, General Song said: "Now that Luo Yi, the lord of Dongyang, is stubbornly holding on to the new city, I hope to invite General Wei to go to the city in person." ”

Wei Xiuwen's face changed slightly: "Does General Song want me to be persuaded to surrender as a lobbyist?" ”

"Not bad." General Song nodded and said, "I know that this matter is difficult, Luo Yi is likely to be mad and kill General Wei." Therefore, this time, the three elders of Chiyun will accompany General Wei to go together, and they can be safe. ”

Wei Xiuwen looked at the three elders of Chiyun who were standing or sitting in the tent, his face was even more ashamed, and he couldn't say a word.

Mr. Huaiming crossed his arms on his chest: "Wei Xiuwen, do you remember me?" Back then, you took 2,000 people from Luoyin Ferry to Dongling Village, and attacked and killed countless soldiers and civilians in my Chiyun Capital, how do you plan to repay this blood debt? ”

Wei Xiuwen was speechless, he also participated in the cleanup of Chiyun Capital back then, and he killed a lot. It was also because of this credit that later Xingluo County Chiyun was in turmoil, and the imperial court would send him there.

Now that Dongyang's national qi is exhausted, although he did not become a prisoner because of his timely surrender, there have always been people who want to seek revenge on him, and Chiyundu is one of them.

"General Song, you said at the beginning that you would let go of the next family, I wonder if this still counts?" Wei Xiuwen knew very well that now Luo Yi couldn't listen to the persuasion to surrender at all, and once he went, he was afraid that there would only be a dead end.

And in the past ten years, he has led troops to fight bloody battles with Chiyundu several times, and it is a new hatred and old grudges, and the three elders may be to bring themselves into the city to die in order to avenge the revenge of the past.

"This is the pardon document that His Majesty just sent." General Song took it out and handed it to the other party to look at, and said at the same time: "But General Wei can rest assured, I don't want to send you to death." The reason why I think of General Wei is because Huaiyu is a real person. ”

"Huaiyu Zhenren?" Wei Xiuwen didn't understand.

"Oh, in your place, should you be called Marquis Zhenming?" General Song said with a smile.

"Is it Zhao Xiao?" Wei Xiuwen was surprised and delighted.

"Huaiyu Zhenren once said that General Wei is loyal to his work, if he can realize it in time and abandon the unreasonable, he will be a famous general for a while." General Song said: "Huaiyu Zhenren also told me that it is difficult for Luo Yi to persuade now, so he should ask Wei Xiuwen from the old department to understand it with reason and move with affection, so there may be a turnaround." ”

Wei Xiuwen looked at the pardon document in his hand, and sat in place stunned, he worked with Zhao Huang in the past, and he also formed a bit of friendship. Regarding the drastic changes in Dongshengdu, Wei Xiuwen actually didn't believe that Zhao Xiao was the culprit, but because of the general trend, he didn't dare to refute it.

Along the way from Huaxu Kingdom to Dongyang Kingdom, Wei Xiuwen gradually saw the true face of his former governor, and gradually understood how the country was declining step by step.

But Wei Xiuwen didn't speak, he had persuaded Zhao Huang to retreat bravely in order to protect his whole family, but he didn't do it himself, and finally when the Dongyang Kingdom fell, he almost had to be buried with it.

Unexpectedly, now Zhao Xiao appeared again, although he did not appear in front of his eyes, but recommended Wei Xiuwen to persuade Luo Yi to surrender, which still made him feel very ironic.

"You ...... Not only to protect me, but also to avenge the revenge of the year, right? Wei Xiuwen looked at the three elders of Chiyun.

Mr. Huaiming took the lead and said: "It's good that you understand, our Chiyun had no grievances with Luo Yi back then, but we were killed on a large scale because of a few of his slanderous words. New hatred and old hatred should be liquidated together! ”

Mr. Zhan Ming said: "Now that Dongyang's national gas has been exhausted, Luo Yi is trapped in the lonely city and has no power to return to the sky, why drag down hundreds of thousands of people in the city? If he is willing to surrender, it is a blessing for the common people. ”

What if Luo Yi refuses to surrender? Wei Xiuwen didn't ask much, and finally agreed to go to Xindu, General Song sent someone to shoot a letter to the city to report, and Wei Xiuwen flew directly to the direction of Miyagi by cloud with the three elders of Chiyun.

Before landing, several figures in the palace city flew into the air as a block, all of them were the few monks who were still loyal to Dongyang Kingdom.

"What? Do you still have to fight to the end? Mr. Huaiming stepped into the air, and the flames were raging.

The monks on the opposite side looked at each other, knowing that the defeat was irretrievable, and they had no intention of fighting, so they had to get out of the way and allow the other party to fall.

Nowadays, the palace is also in decay, and it can be seen that there are still traces of damage on the wall, and it is thought that someone once tried to attack the palace.

The third elder of Chiyun took Wei Xiuwen to the depths of the palace city, most of the officials and palace people had fled, and there were only a few people left in the main hall, which was particularly lonely and lonely.

I saw Luo Yi dressed in military uniform, sitting on the throne with a sword, describing the withered tree, as if he only had his last breath left, like a tiger at the end of his rope, and his eyes were almost bleeding.

When Wei Xiuwen saw Luo Yi, he didn't salute, but arched his hand and asked, "How is the general lately?" ”

Luo Yi let out a few low laughs: "Okay, great, thanks to you disloyal and unrighteous people, I am where I am today." ”

"General, now that the general trend has gone, continuing to resist will only increase casualties." Wei Xiuwen persuaded.

Luo Yi raised his eyes and looked at the three elders of Chiyun behind Wei Xiuwen: "Aren't you ashamed to say this?" If I surrendered, the three men would immediately rush up and tear me apart. ”

Mr. Huaiming stepped forward and was furious: "Luo Yi, I can tear you apart now, believe it or not!" ”

"I think which of you dares?!" Luo Xixian, who was also in the hall, drew his sword and came out, and his sword aura was unstoppable, scattering in all directions, leaving Dao sword marks between the beams and pillars of the palace.

"Junior, it's up to you?" Mr. Huaiming's eyes were blazing, and a trace of green smoke came out of the masonry under his feet.

"Senior brother, wait a minute." Mr. Jingming, whose eyes were clouded, dissuaded: "Luo Xixian, Zhao Xiao has instructed us in advance, if you are willing to surrender, you can save your life." As for Ling Zun, we will not kill him, but imprison him in the mountains and stay away from the world from now on. ”

"Zhao Xiao?" When Luo Xixian heard this, his face was stunned at first, and then he felt humiliated in his heart, raised his eyebrows angrily, pointed at the other party, and said sharply: "I don't need him to pity me!" Tell him to come and see me in person if he has the ability! ”

Mr. Zhan Ming sighed lightly: "Their father and son are terminally ill and hopeless. ”

Seeing this, Wei Xiuwen hurriedly persuaded again: "General, even if you don't think about the people, please think about yourself!" ”

Luo Yi looked at his former subordinate, and slowly raised his sword and got up: "You don't understand, this road is destined to not turn back." If I surrender, I will be completely slaughtered, just as you will now be obediently persuaded by them. ”

Mr. Zhan Ming said: "Until this moment, you still want to sow discord? ”

"You three, do you really think that with a few words from me, you can persuade Yang Jingxi to kill Chiyundu?" Luo Yi sneered: "From the beginning, it was a dead end, either you die or I die, why think of yourself too much?" I'm just defeated today, you take refuge in the bear country, do you really think there will be a good end? ”

Mr. Jingming shook his head and said, "You still don't understand. ”

"Finished?" Mr. Huaiming couldn't bear it anymore, the flames around him were raging, illuminating the palace in a fiery red, and he approached the throne step by step: "You should also pay the price for the past!" ”

……

Zhao Xiao sat on a huge rock, looking out at a vast desert, rolling sand dunes, burying the crumbling palaces and mountains.

In the past, the gods of the six palaces were all masters of the left path who had achieved cultivation, and they built caves in Puchang Mountain and gathered disciples, so that the various departments of Northern Xinjiang were attached to Rong Di one after another. Long before the creation of the Tianxia Dynasty, the Youyu Sixth Palace was already the overlord of the northern frontier, with more than 100,000 people controlling the strings under his command, and several times the troops approached the emperor's capital, which was the biggest threat in the early years of the Tianxia Dynasty.

However, the early years of the Tianxia Dynasty were also full of talents, and Xiao Yuluo, as one of the founding fathers of the Praise Ceremony, was not only proficient in scientific rituals and rituals, but also a strategic general. He presided over the attack on the northern frontier, and after more than ten years, he attacked and defended Yixing, and finally broke through the six palaces of Puchang Mountain in one fell swoop, and summoned the gods to kill the six palaces.

After that, Xiao Yuluo sent troops to surround the northern Xinjiang tribes attached to Puchang Mountain, ordered hundreds of thousands of people to be beheaded, and also sent down heavenly fires to turn the 800 miles of water and grass in Puchang Mountain into a desert.

Right and wrong, let the world comment, heaven and earth just silently observe everything that happened in the past, without relatives and selflessness. Zhao Xiao's qi is yin and yang, and the law is like heaven and earth, and he is also silent, reaching the realm of selflessness and forgetfulness.

In the dust, Zhao Xiao suddenly let out a soft sigh. Lu Wangji sensed that the number of heaven and earth qi had changed, and rain had fallen in the desert.

"What's going on?" Lu Wangji, who was protecting the Dharma in the distance, asked.

"Luo Xixian is dead." Zhao Xiao said: "I secretly dreamed of the general of the Xiong State and the three elders of Chiyun, and asked them to persuade Luo Yi to surrender, but unfortunately Luo Xixian refused to give in, and he wanted to protect his father regardless of everything." ”

"The strong are the dead." Lu Wangji's tone was cold, perhaps in her opinion, the Luo family father and son were just killing themselves.

"I was just thinking that maybe it would be better." Zhao Huang said: "It was my desire to intercede, but it made Luo Xixian unwilling to be humiliated, and would rather die than accept favor." In this way, lest the army attack the new capital, causing serious losses to the army, and also affecting hundreds of thousands of innocent people, and making the three elders of Chiyun take revenge. ”

"You have seen through Luo Xixian, and you know the evolution of the world clearly." The heron forgot to slowly hug the piano.

"That's right." Zhao Xiao looked at the desert scene in front of him: "Since Luo Xixian is dead, I will also settle a dust." ”

"Are you going to ascend and leave?" Heron asked.

"I still have something to lack." Zhao Huang said clearly: "My cultivation is different from others, and I must return to the sect with ten thousand laws." ”

Although Zhao Xiao said this, no matter what method he encounters now, he can quickly and thoroughly understand it and come to it easily, and he has already seen a little bit of the realm that integrates the heavens and ten thousand laws. What we need to do in the future is to settle the earthly burdens one by one, and then we have to take the final step.
