Everyone went to their place, and they were all right for a while. Liu Ding and Huang Zhen talked about their reunion after saying goodbye to their brothers and sisters, and Huang Chao led Wang Jing to talk.

Huang Chao's room was just east of the General's Retreat. Huang Chao didn't seem to have time to drink at the reception banquet, so he set up another table in the room. There were only two of them, Huang Chao and Wang Jing, sitting down at the table.

Huang Chao spoke first: "Back then, the old man was still young, and he had some relationship with Mr. Lingshi Jing Nangqing. I've been to the Five Birds Valley twice, and the last time I went was twenty years ago. I saw you that time, and I was only seven or eight years old. Now the old man raised troops against the Tang Dynasty, the war was together, the guns and arrows had no eyes, if there was no divine doctor in the army, the children under his command were afraid that it would be difficult to prevent death and injury, so it was annoying Wang Xian's nephew to go this way. ”

Wang Jing said: "Master often mentions the name of Huang Gong, he knows that if there is chaos today, he will let me go out of the valley to save the world." Since Huang Gong deigned to come to invite, how dare his nephew disobey?"

When Huang Chao heard this, he was naturally overjoyed.

The two of them talked and drank casually, and after three rounds of drinking, Huang Chao remembered the overlord of Western Chu, touched his heart, so he took Wang Jing's hand and said with emotion: "I think that Xiang Ji brought 3,000 Jiangdong children back then and swept the world, how majestic it is? ”

When Wang Jing heard this, he couldn't help but be moved, and solemnly replied: "My nephew should do his best. ”

Huang Chaocai sent Wang Jing away, and the night was already deep. At this time, another person came to visit, and it was Sha Tuo Li Keyong.

Li Keyong came to the door and saluted first: "Shatuo Li Ke came late at night to disturb Huang Gong, don't blame me." ”

Huang Chao didn't know what was going on with this 'Li Ya'er' looking for him in the middle of the night, so he smiled and said: "Li Liuhou is willing to come here, he should welcome him from afar, but the old man is rude." ”

The two sat down to drink again. Li Keyong refused to speak out, he wanted to try Huang Chao's ambition, so he asked, "How does Huang Gong think Sun Zhongmou is better than his father and brother?"

Huang Chao was free and easy by nature, and he was not ashamed of Sun Quan's personality, so he sneered: "Everyone says that Sun Zhong is a hero in troubled times, but the old man disagrees. He is much inferior to his father and brother, although he has more than enough to do, but he is not open enough. ”

Li Keyong was surprised in his heart when he heard this, but his face remained silent, and he asked, "Oh, how can you see it?"

Huang Chao drank a glass of wine and replied freely: "In the past, Guan Yunchang besieged Xiangfan with the power of Banzhou, flooded the Seventh Army, resulting in Yu Ban being captured, and Cao Ren almost abandoned the city and fled. What kind of characters are Yu Ban and Cao Ren? Yu Ban is the head of the five sons under Cao Mengde's command and the first general with a foreign surname; Cao Ren is even more known as the 'Courage of Heaven and Man'. Both of them were defeated by Guan Yunchang, which made Cao Mengde very frightened, and he almost wanted to move to avoid his edge. Later, Cao Mengde was persuaded by Sima Zhongda, so he successively sent Xu Huang, Xu Shang, Lu Jian, and Zhang Liao generals to help, and he personally led a large army to Luoyang. As a result, Cao Wei's eastern border defense line was extremely empty. That Sun Quan had been unable to defeat Hefei many times, and when he got this opportunity, he didn't take Hefei, but went straight to Qing and Xu, and took Yan and Ji. If so, no matter whether Cao Liu wins or loses, he can win half of the world. It's a pity that Sun Quan and Lu Meng are short-sighted, and they only think about the land of Jingzhou and half of the county. Even if he came to Jingzhou later, he was powerless to resist Cao's army and let it clash, which is really ridiculous!"

Huang Chao said a lot in one breath, criticizing the ancients, agitating the war, and expressing all the insights in his heart.

Li Keyong had already set off an uproar in his heart when he heard this, clapped his hands and laughed: "Huang Gongguo is a great hero and a hero, far from being comparable to ordinary people. There are many praises for Sun Quan in the world, talking about the past and the present one by one, and the pen and tongue are full of flowers, saying that he can beat his father and brother, comparable to Cao Liu. The so-called high view, but Erer. Where is that insight comparable to Huang Gong's? In the next courage, it is also slightly the same as what Huang Gong has seen. Sun Quan is like half of the country in the east, and he can still compete with Cao Liu. At that time, Cao Liu was bound to lose both, and he could have reaped the benefits of the fisherman. It's ridiculous that he just wants to divide the world into three parts and live in the southeast, but he has practiced Lu Zijing's "Couch Policy" in vain. ”

The two are like-minded and have a good time. Li Ke said with a sudden look: "If Huang Gong has the opportunity of Sun Quan, what should he do?"

Huang Chao drank all the cups, and his arrogance was abrupt, and he said with a smile: "Naturally, I took that half of the country first." ”

Li Keyong sighed: "Huang Gong has this ambition, and Li admires it. It's a pity that General Wang wants to be that Sun Quanli!"

Huang Chao was puzzled: "How do you say this?"

Li Keyong said: "I went to Caozhou this time to form an alliance with the grass army. It is hoped that the grass army will move south and invade half of Li Tang's country, but it will show troops in the northwest, so that it cannot take care of it. Unexpectedly, General Wang had no intention of Jiangnan, and only wanted to be the Duke of Qi Huan. ”

When Huang Chao heard this, he was already very shocked in his heart, "Although Sha Tuo is a foreigner, and his Li family's father and son have always been opposed, but now they are still ministers of the court after all. This 'Li Ya'er' actually came to form an alliance with the grass army like this, in the end, it was the ambition of the wolf. Huang Chao thought so, but said in his mouth: "Now it is Li Tang's family, not when Zhou Tianzi lost the 'co-lord of the world', how easy is it to follow the example of the Spring and Autumn Period Qi Huan to fight for hegemony?"

Li Keyong said with joy: "That's right, Li Tang has two or three hundred thousand military horses in the land of Qilu. Once a general is made to unify the troops of several states, the grass army will be lost at that time. However, Jiangnan is very different from it, its territory is vast, its troops are weak and scattered, it is difficult to withstand the impact of the grass army, and the Huaibei prefectures are unable to rescue. If the grass army enters the south of the Yangtze River and gallops vertically and horizontally, who will be able to stop it? Moreover, when Li Mou's troops go out of Youzhou and go straight to the Guannei, how dare Li Tang look south?

Huang Chao frowned and said, "Even so, if General Wang insists on going east, the old man is helpless. ”

Li Ke started with a case and said: "If General Wang goes east, he will definitely be defeated." At that time, Huang Gong can recruit troops and lead troops south. Huang Gong is an immortal male, so why should he live under others? Li is willing to swear an oath with Huang Gong and become an ally. You and I are one south and one north, all have or not, advance and retreat together, and take Li Tang Jiangshan together. What about Huang Gongyi?"

When Huang Chao heard this, he said in his heart, "This Li Ya'er has such insight at a young age, and he must not be underestimated, and he may be my opponent in the future." It's just that it is important to destroy Li Tang first. ”

On this night, the hero's words were over, and the sky was already light.

Henan Province. Chenzhou. Wanqiu.

In the underground altar of Manichaeism, there was a long roar, like a landslide and thunder.

All the congregants in the main altar heard this long roar, and instead of panicking, they all looked happy. An old man in a white robe of fifty or sixty years old, wearing a blue scarf on his head, was one of the three elders. He heard this long roar, and the face that never fluctuated finally showed a hint of surprise. He whispered to himself: "Sect Leader Fang, you are finally out of the customs......

The congregants in the sect, the six flags and the four elephants, together with the three elders of heaven, earth and man, and the lords of the two worlds of yin and yang, all came to congratulate. In the palace, the members of the Holy Fire Cult sang the "Sigh of the Realm" along the way, which is where the Manichaean doctrine lies:

The light is generally pure, and there is no movement and no curse.

He has no trouble with joy, but there is no use in suffering.

Always be happy and bright, if you say that you are sick, it is useless.

If there are those who can live in other countries, they will be worry-free.

The place is pure, and all evil is not pure.

Happiness is full of Chang Kuantai, and there is no point in saying that there is Xiangling.

The voices of the congregation resounded in the altar. His voice is quite solemn and sacred, how can there be a trace of obscenity and obscenity? His appearance is also extremely pious and respectful, and how can he be cruel and murderous? So that there is a faint flickering fire in the sect, and the Buddha and music are ringing in unison, and this scene is too different from the word "demon religion" in the mouth of the rivers and lakes.

A middle-aged man who looked only about forty years old. The man had loose hair, a thin face, and eyes that were shining. He wore a black and white turban wrapped around his forehead, a white robe, and nine red flames on his chest, which were the leader of the Manichaean generation.

It has been three years since the last retreat. Now he has finally broken through the shackles and practiced to the fifth realm of the "Two Patriarchal Laws". This step made him truly reach the realm of martial arts.

The people below are all dressed in white robes and have turbans on their foreheads, and they are all gathered in this palace below, only to see a white expanse, is there tens of thousands of people?

Suddenly, among the congregation, there were several columns of people running and forming a formation, and ten of them waved a large flag, on which were written the words "A", "B", "C", etc., and after these people lined up in ten directions, they all landed on one knee and shouted in unison: "Ten square flags see the sect leader!"

Then there were several people running, and there were nine flags waving, but there were words such as "Tianren", "Tianchong", "Tianying" and so on, and these people also knelt down and saluted, shouting: "The nine-star flag is the sect leader!"

In this way, the Ten Square Flag, the Nine Star Flag, the Eight Gate Flag, the Qichen Flag, the Liuhe Flag, and the Five Elements Flag, a total of six banner sect members, finished saluting respectively. When they arrived at the Four Elephant Altar, although the four elephant altar masters were not in the church at the moment, their rituals were indispensable. I saw four huge bronze statues coming out of nowhere, which were the appearance of the four divine beasts of the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu. These four bronze statues, which are more than a foot high, are carried on the shoulders of eight congregants. These sect members still saluted and shouted, and even the thirty-two sect members who were carrying the divine beast all landed on one knee in unison, but the bronze statue on the shoulder did not tremble at all.

Fang Barge stood on top of the main hall, his qi vibrating, like bathing in holy light, as if the gods were in the world. All the congregations worshipped, and shouted in unison:

What sorrow is gathering and dispersing, what joy is life and death.

Burn me to ashes, and the holy fire is like a lotus.

With my body, it becomes the burning of light.

With my blood, the source of enlightenment.

Light and loving Father, blessed to all things.

Only I am respectful, and the divine power is the same.

When sentient beings are afflicted, their hearts can be complained.

There is nowhere to eliminate right and wrong in the world.

In the eyes of all of them, this sect leader is the person who is Mingzun and Mingfu. This is not only a shock in force, but also a bow in the heart.

Fang Di opened his mouth, as if magic: "My brother, my sister, Mingzun has a decree." ”

The people below shouted: "Sect Leader Hongfu, long live Mani!"

Fang Fu continued: "The Manichaean religion has gone through thousands of difficulties and dangers, and it will never turn back. Where there is light in the world, there are bright people. Today, there is a great chaos, and the people are not living well, so we must sacrifice our bodies to the sacred fire to eliminate the suffering of all sentient beings. ”

In the middle of the altar, flames erupted. The congregation worshipped, and the momentum was huge.

The Yin and Yang Realm Lords stood on the left and right sides of Fang Jie, and the Yang Realm Lord turned to Fang Tie and said, "Sect Master, the martial arts have formed an alliance and are rushing to Caozhou to fight with the Green Forest forces. ”

Fang Di asked, "In the opinion of the Yang Realm Lord, when will the Martial Arts Alliance break through Caozhou and get the helm of the Taihu Salt Gang?"

The Lord of the Yang Realm groaned for a moment and said, "According to what that person said, it will only take ten months to break through the green forest of Caozhou and reach Taihu Lake. ”

Fang Di nodded and said with a smile: "When the three major factions make a move, it is the time when my Manichaeism will be powerful. Then he ordered the congregation to prepare all the things for conquest and slaughter within ten months, and those who delayed them were to be burned at the stake.

The crowd at the bottom was agitated, and everyone went to prepare. Tian Lao suddenly stepped forward and said, "Sect Master...... Young Sect Master He ...... Killed. ”

Fang Di suddenly heard that his only son was dead, and his heart suddenly ached. But now he is proficient in martial arts, and his mood is even more difficult to be emotional. Therefore, his face did not move at all, and even his voice did not change in the slightest: "Who killed my Mani Young Sect Master?" He didn't even say Fang Lianhe's name, he only regarded him as the same as ordinary sect members.

When Tian Lao heard Fang Jie's speech, he knew that his heart was like iron and stone, so he couldn't help but sigh secretly and replied: "Xiangzhou Wei Qimu." ”

Fang Di groaned: "Wei Qimu, when did such a figure come out of the rivers and lakes, and is this person dead or alive now?"

The old man stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and pleaded guilty: "His subordinates are incompetent, and he has escaped several times in a row, and finally he has been defeated by him, so I ask the lord to give him his guilt." ”

Fang Jie said indifferently: "People who have missed several times should be punished heavily." However, since he can kill the young sect leader, he is not a mediocre talent, and you can't capture and kill him alone, but it is also forgivable. Now the plan is now, and this sin is forgiven, and it is left for later use. Get up. ”

Tian Lao asked again: "Then Wei Qimu ......?"

Fang Di waved his hand and said, "Ignore him first, the big plan is essential." ”

After the elders and people retreated, the Yang Realm Lord said again: "Sect Master, just a few days ago, my subordinates found out that the Lord of the Four Elephants Altar was suspicious, and it seemed that he was collecting secrets in the sect. Now Qinglong, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu are nowhere to be found, and only the White Tiger is still under control. ”

Fang Di frowned and said: "When the four Qinglong people rebelled out of Maoshan and voted for me Mani, it was already suspicious, so I asked you and the young sect leader to stay and watch it in many ways, but there was still a problem." This matter is a matter of secrecy in the church, and it must be dealt with expeditiously. It was personally arranged by the Lord of the Laoyang Realm. ”

The Lord of the Yang Realm took the order and retreated with the Lord of the Netherworld. At this point, there was only one person left in the main hall, and he muttered to himself: "This world is still the world of Manichaeism after all." It's just that this Manichaeism is the religion of Middle-earth or ......"
