The war in the Central Plains continues.

But the situation on both sides as a whole seems to have entered a kind of treacherous equilibrium.

Headed by the Xiling Divine Kingdom, the alliance of all countries set off a war against the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty, the first powerful country in the world, showed the heritage of the lion entrenched in the continent, especially such a heritage was shown by someone in the palace of Chang'an City in a comfortable way, on behalf of the academy into the WTO Uncle Xiao, really entered the WTO.

This battle, for Datang, was not as easy as imagined.

Even if Datang is the first power in the world, but after all, Datang is facing the entire Haotian world, when the war enters the tug-of-war stage, the two sides compete for the background behind each other, which is extremely similar to many wars in later generations.

Therefore, for Datang, this war has only one final ending.

That's victory.

Emperor Li Zhongyi's health became weaker and weaker.

Even the daily morning pilgrimage is no longer attended.

But the sound of horses' hooves did not stop.

After destroying the Yan Kingdom, the Tang Dynasty set its sights on the core area of the southern part of the Central Plains, where the Xiling Divine Kingdom was located, and the temple on Peach Mountain had never been breached in countless years since its establishment, even if Ke Haoran and his master had killed a lot of Xiling people on Peach Mountain, but it was not a breakthrough in the secular sense.

Only when the Haotian Sect Leader was kicked out of that throne, when all the Xiling Guardian cavalry rolled off their horses, and all the high priests were no longer so arrogant, this was the real victory.

The entire Datang is ready for this.

It's just that he didn't expect that the spiritual pillar standing behind Datang would disappear silently.

Lu Ze once asked the master why he did this.

The Master said that he just didn't find it interesting to be in this world.

But the real reason is that the sky is falling and you need a high top.

For countless years, the Master has been thinking about how to defeat Haotian, and the Master has thought of many ways, constantly dodging, constantly integrating himself into the whole world, and constantly thinking on the academic and spiritual level, but he has never practiced it.

And the basis of the master's thinking was actually standing on the shoulders of Ke Haoran, the junior uncle of the academy.

Ke Haoran's death in the battle made the master confirm that the firmament on his head had a real conscious existence, and the so-called Haotian is not just a common phrase in the mouths of believers, because Haotian does exist.

"I haven't hit it."

"I don't know if I'll be able to fight it."

"But I know that if you succeed sooner on earth, I might be able to come back sooner."

......

Chang'an City, the old pen Zhai.

Lu Ze sat at the door, Ning Que stood in the main hall, and in the courtyard was a tall old man and a dark-skinned little maidservant.

Sang Sang suddenly raised her head at this time, she looked at the sky quietly, her expression was indifferent, after a moment her feet left the ground, suddenly closed her eyes, opened her arms to meet the baptism of the hot summer sun, the short yellow and burnt hair became extremely black after a while, and then gradually lengthened, like a waterfall on her shoulders.

When I opened my eyes again, they were filled with colors that were far more dazzling than the sun.

This is absolute indifference, filled with an attitude of complete disregard for everything around us, this is the gaze of God.

Lu Ze looked at Sangsang's changes curiously.

And Ning Que inside was already like a knife, his lips were oozing blood, and he screamed in extreme pain, and he reached out to grab Sangsang's feet.

The master waved his sleeves, and Ning Que was frozen in place.

The once emaciated maid Sangsang was gone, replaced by the holy and indifferent divinity Sangsang, tall and tall, with black hair like a waterfall, giving people a feeling of inviolability, as if it was like the statue of the goddess Haotian worshiped by some Taoist sects.

The Master sighed: "The sum of objective rules and human beliefs. ”

"You are Haotian, and you are also the King of Hades."

Countless lights spurted out of Sang Sang's body in an instant, and the light gathered into a pillar of light, rising from the small courtyard of Lao Bizhai, even if it was daytime at the moment, but this pillar of light seemed to be extremely dazzling, and the sun was no longer dazzling.

At the same time, there was a trace of light coming out of the Master's body, which was wound and connected to the pillar of light.

Some of his human power was left in Sangsang's body, so the master could not disappear into the human world as he did in the past.

"Leaving now?"

The master looked at the light on his body very curiously, and there was no sense of urgency about to fight Haotian, maybe this old man who had traveled in the world for thousands of years was also looking forward to such a day, as the old saying goes, old age and immortality are thieves, except for the two drunkards and butchers who survived from the eternal night before 10,000 years, the master thought that he was the oldest thief.

There was no emotion on Sangsang's face, no change in his expression, and even the sound he made was the kind of transparent and empty syllables that were extremely incomprehensible.

But everyone present knew that the time had come for separation.

This pillar of light that connects heaven and earth and connects the entire world is known to the world.

There are thousands of priests kneeling on Xiling Peach Mountain.

The sound of chanting in the hanging temple suddenly stopped, and the monks sincerely put their hands together and prayed with great respect.

Countless Taoist temples and temples in the world, and the big names in the palaces of various countries knelt on the ground.

In the Tang Palace, the pale-faced emperor Li Zhongyi knelt on the cold jade steps, and beside him were the queen and the crown prince who were also kneeling on the ground.

The Tang Emperor's eyes were already filled with tears, and he slammed his forehead on the ground, and his voice was dull but loud: "Welcome to the appearance of the master!" ”

......

"I've been in charge of human affairs for too many years, I'm tired and annoyed, so I don't want to care about it anymore."

"Actually, there is no one in this world, and it is still that world."

The master waved his hand.

didn't say anything pretentious.

The actual goodbye had been made a few days earlier.

The master gave up the whole world and wanted to go to heaven to fight Haotian.

The flowing clouds in the sky were shining, and the master swayed up, leaving only a tall back for the people, and Sangsang followed away, the brilliance flowed, and Haotian wanted to return to the kingdom of God to fight the master.

Above the sky, in the light.

The master stroked his beard that was blown by the wind, looked at Sangsang, who came later, and said softly: "You found me, I also found you, even if you can defeat me, but you can't go back." Or just figured out this question, you lowered your will to come to the world, not just to find me, you are a collection of will and rules in the world, when you are curious about the world, you can't go back. ”

Sangsang's perfect face was originally without any emotion, but at this time, he suddenly revealed great fear.

Because the heavenly dome began to shake, the gate of the Haotian Divine Kingdom collapsed.

The battle in the sky has also begun.

......

After the Master ascended to heaven, the battle still broke out in the world.

Everyone knew that the Master, who had lived for a thousand years, had finally left the world, and people did not know why the Master had left, but they only knew that the majestic mountain that had been pressed on his head had suddenly disappeared.

The Tang people are remembering the departure of the master, and at the same time they are looking forward to the day when the master can return from heaven.

But for those foreign people who were hostile to the Tang Kingdom, this day was the most fortunate day, especially for those great cultivators who stood at the top, the master was the real pillar of the Tang Dynasty and the Academy.

Therefore, after the master ascended to the sky, the invasion momentum of the alliance of all countries against the Tang Dynasty became stronger and stronger.

And it was in this situation that the Tang Empire, which was still like a tiger, finally underwent a slight change, although the participants of those changes did not know that this change had been predicted in the eyes of people early.

I prejudged yours.

"Two battlefields."

"Now it's time to start closing the net."

Lu Ze looked at His Majesty the Emperor who was sick and weak in front of him, and said softly: "Before the master ascended to heaven, he left the prescription in the academy, if His Majesty's illness back then was willing to let the master..."

Li Zhongyi smiled and shook his head: "If I were a student studying on the second floor of the academy, of course I would not hesitate to let my master heal me, but after all, I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and since I chose to abandon the path of cultivation, then I am just an ordinary person, what do I do if I live for so long?" Could it be that by the time I am seventy or eighty, the prince of the East Palace will not be able to sit on the dragon chair when he is over half a hundred years old? ”

Of course, the master had seen His Majesty's illness, or the illness was too troublesome, or the master saw the fate of the Tang Emperor after this illness, so he just prescribed a prescription and did not use the power of the world.

"I am the most powerful man in the world, and I have married my favorite woman."

"I've lived enough in this life."

"It's just that in life, it is inevitable that I will be a little greedy, and I still want to watch my Datang Iron Horse break through the gate of Xiling Divine Kingdom, and watch the military flag of Datang be planted on the top of that peach mountain."

Lu Ze bowed slightly.

"As Your Majesty wishes."

......

The war that swept the Central Plains countries took less than half a year, and then it entered the most brutal stage, and the two sides poured countless troops into the battlefield, especially after the master ascended to the sky, the Xiling Divine Kingdom seemed to go crazy and launched an attack on the southwest border of the empire, which was about to tear open the mouth of the Tang Empire.

General Xu Shi, the commander of the three armies of the Tang Dynasty, had reached the age when he should retire, but he still stuck to his post, this old man was the most opposed to the academy's interference in the internal affairs of the empire, even now he has insisted on it.

But Xu Shidu has to admit that on the second floor of the academy, there are really many talents.

As a big man in the upper echelons of the empire, Xu Shi faintly knew that the junior uncle of the academy who had entered the world was now accompanying His Majesty, and behind those decrees that were enough to amaze the military generals of Wenchen, there seemed to be the figure of this junior uncle.

Is there really a person in the world who is invincible in cultivation, but can be good at dancing in the world?

Xu Shi raised his head and looked at the sky, and muttered to himself: "There is one there, Master..."

There was a sudden silence in the tent.

Xu Shi squinted.

There was a cold man dressed in black in front of him.

This is the most core of the Tang Dynasty front's commander's camp, if someone in the world can quietly enter here, it can only prove that the name of the first power in the world is completely paper-like existence, there is no lack of cultivators in the Central Plains War, and those who were high in the past have now entered the barracks, like ordinary soldiers to participate in the battle.

Cultivators are the primary productive forces.

Nowadays, in the battle between the two sides, it is not uncommon for sword masters and Nian masters to be sandwiched between ordinary soldiers.

Even in the Battle of the South Gorge last month, there were rune masters who appeared.

Xu Shi is the top martial arts powerhouse in the world.

But even he felt a chill invade his back at the moment.

He squinted, looked at the blindfolded man opposite, and said coldly, "Who are you?" ”

Xu Shi understood that the latter was definitely the best assassin in the world.

If he made a move just now, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured in an instant.

The man only showed an object, and the hostility in Xu Shi's body gradually began to dissipate.

Because this object comes from the Tang Palace, and it is something that only he and His Majesty know.

Tang Emperor Li Zhongyi is good at calligraphy.

What the man was holding in his hand was the seal in His Majesty's Imperial Study, and a piece was missing in the lower right corner.

"I'll deliver the letter."

......

The autumn wind gradually faded, and the cold wind in the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.

The bravery of the army of the Tang Empire is beyond the imagination of the world, and when this male lion perched on the land really shows the bloody side of the fight, the wolves will inevitably feel frightened, because the relationship between this group of wolves is not unbreakable.

Lu Ze walked through the bustling Chang'an City, and then went to the south gate of Haotian Road.

Today's south gate is no longer as prosperous as in the past within the empire, and there was Yan Se, the world's first rune master, in the south gate of Haotian Dao, who held the pestle of the shocking array in Chang'an City, and Li Qingshan, the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty, who was above the court and under one person.

And now, with the departure of these two pillars one after another, it is Li Qingshan's eldest disciple He Mingchi who inherits the position of the master of the South Gate.

This He Mingchi's reputation in Chang'an City is not shallow, on the contrary, he treats people and things very decently, although the south gate under his management does not show the glory of the past, but at least it does not roll down directly from the upper echelons of the empire.

Now, He Mingchi, the master of the South Gate, is wearing a navy blue robe and sitting in the room.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly.

Lu Ze smiled and shook his head: "Lord He's Xiling Dao method is not as good as Lingshi, at the beginning, Master Dan Guoshi had insight into my existence when I was ten zhang away from the Taoist Temple, and now I have entered your room, but you stopped for a few moments before realizing my existence." ”

He Mingchi had a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, then quickly got up, came to Lu Ze, and bowed down.

"I've seen Uncle Xiao."

"Mingchi Dao is shallow, how can it be compared with Shizun."

Lu Ze continued to shake his head, and said seriously: "You are already at the peak of the Cave Mystery realm, I dare to say that even Wang Jingluo, who served as a personal soldier in General Xu Shi's tent, may not be able to defeat you." You seem to have something on your mind, what were you just thinking? ”

He Mingchi just wanted to speak, but he heard Lu Ze's voice explode in his ears.

"Are you wondering if betraying Xu Shi's marching route to the Xiling Temple can have a sensational effect? So as to help the coalition forces of all countries really win a hearty victory? ”

Lu Ze sighed: "It's a pity." ”

"You are selling true information, but those Dao masters should all die on the Lushan Road."

"Datang has set off a clarion call for a counteroffensive against the countries, and you have a share of the credit."
