Chapter 137: The Conspiracy of the White Deer Cave (Part II)
Li Ye's eyes flickered, and he broke away from his trance-like state of deep thought.
The sky is still blue, the sky is still far away, but the frost between Li Ye's eyebrows is gone, and the sharp light in his eyes that has penetrated everything has also turned into two pools of clear water.
On the empty altar, Chu Nanhuai and Li Xian stood in front of him. Master Fei Hong sat on the white jade railing beside him, looking at the distant sky, his pure white clothes and green silk fluttering in the wind, not knowing what he was thinking.
Several Arhats stood behind her, faintly protecting her, and confronted everyone in the field in vain.
The Holy Son and the Holy Child, Nangong No. 1, Su Emei and others gathered behind Li Ye and listened attentively. The demons rested in front of the altar, the breeze was calm and harmless, and everything in the field was normal.
Li Ye looked at Chu Nanhuai, who was in shabby robes, and said, "Then let me ask again, what is the layout of the White Deer Cave?"
When he said this, his tone was not very kind, and there was a hint of anger at being deceived.
Chu Nanhuai's face was bitter and he sighed helplessly, but he didn't answer immediately, but motioned for everyone to sit down.
When everyone sat down in a circle, Chu Nanhuai looked at Li Ye and said slowly: "Looking at what His Highness means, I have some doubts about what Lao Dao did." Also, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and now His Royal Highness is powerful, and the princes are out of reach, if there is any arrangement for each door, I am afraid that it will also be more aimed at His Highness. Not to mention, the Buddha Domain and the Immortal Court already have a hatred with His Highness, and they are afraid that they will not die. β
Li Ye bowed his head slightly: "That's true." β
Chu Nanhuai restrained his usual disrespectful appearance of being an old man, and said to Li Ye with a straight face: "Old Dao and ask Your Highness, if there is no battle in Hedong, Your Highness will not compete with Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism? And since His Highness has decided to do something in troubled times and intends to achieve meritorious deeds, then the Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist soldiers who are fighting for the world are all enemies, and they will meet sooner or later, so how can they avoid fighting each other?"
"If Your Highness wants to survive in peace, then you should not pacify the Huangchao Rebellion, make meritorious achievements, and be more powerful than others. Since His Highness wants to hold the artifact in his hands, he will inevitably develop and grow, and sooner or later he will become the most powerful person in the world. Only by becoming the most powerful person can it be possible to finally clear the universe and achieve great deeds! How can those who want to achieve great achievements be afraid of being coveted by all sides? If they do not sweep away all sides, how can they achieve great achievements?"
Li Ye was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then fell silent and fell into deep thought.
"If you don't have the courage to be the enemy of the world, and if you don't have the preparation to be the enemy of the world, you are not qualified to participate in the battle of troubled times, and you are not qualified to become the person who will eventually win the championship!"
Chu Nanhuai said in a deep voice, "And the powerful people, while being feared by the princes of all parties, will also be the heroes of the Quartet. Rise and fall depend on each other, and if you don't advance, you will retreat, that's it. β
This could not be refuted, Li Ye solemnly clenched his fists: "Be taught." β
Chu Nanhuai waved his hand, signaling that it was okay, and then said: "Your Highness wants to know the layout of the White Deer Cave, why not?" In fact, even if Your Highness doesn't ask, after this battle, Lao Dao also feels that it is time to explain the matter here to His Highness. His Royal Highness is the Lord, and we are obedient, and all kinds of plans, naturally there is no reason to hide from His Highness. β
Li Ye looked forward to it: "I want to hear it in detail." β
Not only him, but everyone was eager to be curious, including Li Xian. The red boy was already so anxious that he looked at his anxious appearance, but he didn't open Chu Nanhuai's head to take a look.
Chu Nanhuai said unhurriedly: "Your Highness just said that without the help of the old way, whether it is the battle of Fengqi Mountain or the battle of Hedong, Your Highness will not be able to win, but I am afraid that it will already be defeated." Therefore, His Royal Highness feels that Lao Dao and White Deer Cave are too ...... Spooky?"
Li Ye said honestly: "It's not weird, but too strong." β
Chu Nanhuai smiled: "If His Highness knew the origin of the White Deer Cave, he wouldn't think so." β
Li Ye looked at Li Xian curiously, and said in his heart What else can the origin of Bailu Cave be, so that the other party doesn't know, right? If the other party knows, then what role did the other party play in a series of events?
Facing Li Ye's eyes, Li Xian spoke: "Bailu Cave originated in Guiguzi, so the disciples of the sect are good at vertical and horizontal, power and scheming, and they also cultivate the strengths of a hundred schools. β
Li Ye nodded slightly.
But in fact, this explanation did not satisfy him, there were only seven disciples in each generation of Bailu Cave, and they were weak, and if they wanted to stir up the world and compete with the Daomen, how could the Immortal Court sit idly by?
But for thousands of years, the White Deer Cave has been in turmoil every time, and the Immortal Court doesn't seem to treat them like this.
Chu Nanhuai said: "Your Highness doesn't have to look at your junior brother, the secret here is only known to each generation of heads." This secret is not a big deal, Your Highness actually mentioned it beforeβwe do have people in the Immortal Court. β
Li Ye was relieved.
This explanation is very reasonable, of course, it is not so much that there are people in the White Deer Cave in the Immortal Court, it is better to say that the White Deer Cave is the mortal agent supported by some immortals in the Immortal Court.
Su Emei has mentioned more than once before that the Immortal Court is not monolithic, and there are factional disputes. In the final analysis, it is because everyone's philosophy of governing the world is different. Just as politicians have different political opinions, so there are political disputes, the same is true within the Immortal Court.
Obviously, the faction where the Guanghan Fairy and the Giant Spirit Heavenly God belong is different from the mainstream concept of the Immortal Courtβthat is, they are not in the same group as the Immortal Emperor. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to the lower realm to help Li Ye, the enemy of the Immortal Emperor.
The fact is that Wei Xiaozhuang, under the instruction of Li Ye, established the Quanzhen Concept, which is indeed completely different from Penglai Daomen. Penglai Daomen by the people incense, the people worship, self-regarded as the fairy gate, high up, the whole true view but deep into the countryside, in order to help the people eliminate disasters and solve problems, and cure the disease and save people for the meritorious cause.
In the curious eyes of everyone, Chu Nanhuai continued: "Do you still remember the battle of King Wu a thousand years ago?"
Of course, no one doesn't remember this, and the red boy said impatiently: "What do you do to mention things so far ago, could it be that you were alive at that time, and you still participated in that war?"
Chu Nanhuai smiled and said, "The Holy Infant King is really half right. It's just that it's not Lao Dao who personally participates, but the sect leader and other disciples. β
"Sect Master?" Li Ye was stunned, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and suddenly Fu Zhi thought of something in his heart, "Could it be that your sect master's name is Tongtian?"
Chu Nanhuai smiled even more: "Your Highness is really well-informed, and this is indeed the case. β
However, the smile on his face quickly disappeared, and was replaced by a long sigh: "It's just that after the defeat of the sect leader in that battle, he changed his name to 'Mud and Dust Dao Man'." It means that the heavens and the earth are full of filth, mud and dust. In the final analysis, he is scolding the Immortal Emperor, saying that the people of the Immortal Emperor's faction are selfish and selfish, do not regard the common people as their own thoughts, and make the governance of heaven and earth a mess, and become immortals in vain!"
Li Ye opened his mouth and was speechless.
According to the earth, King Wu's war, that is, the "battle of the gods", was a dispute between the sect and the sect, and the leader of the Tongtian Sect was finally defeated as the leader of the sect. And the root cause is naturally to go against the general trend and help the unscrupulous king.
But listening to Chu Nanhuai's words, it is obvious that the battle of the Martial King in this world is very different from the version that Li Ye is familiar with. But there is nothing to make a fuss about, Li Ye is used to the difference between the two worlds.
When Li Ye's thoughts were flying, Chu Nanhuai did not stop speaking: "At that time, the king of Shang was eloquent and strategic, and he was not satisfied with the rule of the immortal court over the world, and succeeded to the throne as the queen, wanting to reproduce the rule of the human emperor. He intends to draw a clear line with the immortal court, let the people of the world be their own masters, break the incense offerings of all beings to the immortal court, and reshape the order of the world. β
For this reason, the king demolished the statues, destroyed the Taoist temple, and often openly disobeyed the immortal court. When the Immortal Emperor heard this, he was furious and sent the immortal official to the earth, holding an 'oracle' to reprimand the king and ordering him to immediately 'know that he had lost his way and returned'. Of course, the king would not listen, and tore up the 'oracle' in public in the court, and blasted away the immortal officials. Subsequently, the king began to behead the ministers who served the immortal court devoutly. The Xian court was furious, so he ordered King Xiqi Wen to gather a large army, unite all the princes, and launch a war against Shang. β
"The sect leader has always been at odds with the Immortal Emperor, so he called on the disciples of the sect to help the King of Xuan and fight with the Immortal Court, which is the battle of the Martial King. The final result is known to everyone, the sect leader was defeated and imprisoned, and the disciples suffered heavy casualties. β
When Chu Nanhuai talked about these past events, Red Boy, You Daxiao and others all listened to it with relish, and they didn't doubt it at all, obviously, they all thought that what the other party said was the truth.
Seeing this, Li Ye could only continue to listen.
Before the crossing, the version of King Wu that Li Ye knew was naturally that King Wu had no way, so he was attacked by a group. However, history books are written by the victors, and the truth of history is not so important in the so-called success or defeat.
Of course, Li Ye just thinks about it casually, after all, this world is not the earth, and the version of the story is likely to be different.
According to Chu Nanhuai's account, the Tongtian Sect Master of this realm seems to be different from the earth, and the other party is just another force among the immortals of the Immortal Court who disagrees with the Immortal Emperor's political views.
Chu Nanhuai said: "After the sect leader was imprisoned, the sect declined, and he could only choose to hibernate. In the year of the Great Weekend, the princes rose together and fought against each other, the majesty of the royal family did not exist, and the world fell into chaos again. So hundreds of schools of thought contended and jointly challenged the ruling order of the Immortal Court, which was for the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States. The sage of this religion, Guiguzi, opened a mountain and established a sect in the lower realm, accepted disciples, continued the incense, participated in the great struggle in the world, and there was a white deer cave in the world. β
Speaking of which, the matter is generally clear.
Chu Nanhuai looked at Li Ye: "In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there is no situation where Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and soldiers are established, but a hundred schools of thought are contending and chaotic, so this is the opportunity for this sect to stand up." And this sect is too jealous of the immortal court in order to avoid being too powerful, so only seven disciples are accepted per generation. β
"Seven people want to fight for the world, it is very difficult, and naturally they can't stick to any one of them. Therefore, since the date of its establishment, Bailu Cave is known for its vertical and horizontal, power and conspiracy techniques, and it also cultivates the study of a hundred schools. Because of this, the people of Bailu Cave Gate will either not come out, or they will be famous all over the world!"
After speaking, Chu Nanhuai signaled to everyone Li Xian, the meaning could not be more obvious, Li Xian was a model among the disciples of the White Deer Cave.
This story made the Holy Son and the Holy Child and others fascinated to listen to it, and they all had very satisfied expressions on their faces, and they looked very happy.
......
Coming down from the altar, the demons went to rest, Li Ye naturally 'occupied the magpie's nest' and stayed in Li Keyong's county palace, in addition to Su Emei, Nangong and others, Li Xian was also among them.
After the Great War, Su Emei and the others all went to rest and cultivate. Li Ye sat silently in the room for a while, feeling a little uncomfortable, so he simply went to find Li Xian.
"What was going on in the Battle of Bagong Mountain back then?" Li Ye asked Li Ye directly after he sat down.
On the altar, before Chu Nanhuai answered his question, he had reasoned about the layout of the White Deer Cave in his mind. In his imagination, it was a different story. In that story, Li Ye was pushed out of the White Deer Cave to attract hatred from all sides.
Li Ye once thought that his reasoning was the truth. It's just that there are still a lot of doubts in this, so after he came back to his senses, he didn't directly do anything to Chu Nanhuai.
The biggest suspicion is actually the biggest argument for Li Ye to reach that conclusion: the Battle of Fengqi Mountain and the Battle of Hedong. In these two battles, the White Deer Cave helped Li Ye win strong enemies, gain great growth, and also attract the hatred of the Immortal Court and the Buddha Domain.
But the problem is that these two battles are extremely dangerous, and Li Ye can become the final winner, in fact, Chu Nanhuai's help is only part of the reason, and more importantly, his own strength is beyond common sense.
There are many variables in this, which Chu Nanhuai can't predict, for example, Li Ye can slash so many Liberation Gate Vajra Realm in Fengqi Mountain, and he can join forces with Feihong Master in the secret realm, and finally "turn enemies into friends".
In other words, Chu Nanhuai couldn't be sure in advance whether Li Ye could win. The reason why he was able to win was the result of the desperate lives of all parties. In this case, it is impossible to predict in advance whether Li Ye's "target" can be erected.
And as far as the facts are concerned, the odds are extremely unlikely.
If the plan of the White Deer Cave is to pin hope on an event with such a small probability, then the White Deer Cave will not be the White Deer Cave where "the world does not know the White Deer Cave, and the world has no master".
On the contrary, only if Bailudong sincerely assisted Li Ye and made up his mind to fight with him to live and die together, Chu Nanhuai's actions could be explained. Because co-existence and death with the struggle may not necessarily succeed.
What is not necessarily successful cannot be used as a premise, only as a goal.
So the only doubt left in Li Ye's heart is the battle of Bagong Mountain, how did Li Xian enter the urn.
Li Xian's answer was particularly concise: "Because of the edict of the Son of Heaven." β
Li Ye was stunned.
This answer is really unexpected, and it makes sense that simple cannot be simpler, but it is so true.
"When the battle was about to be won, the eunuch Liu Xingshen brought His Majesty's edict that I must bring back Pang Xun's head no matter what. Li Xian added.
Li Ye was silent.
For Li Xian, who devoted his life to supporting the Tang Dynasty and died in the society, the emperor's will could not be disobeyed at all.
This also explains why Li Xian survived by luck, and cultivated to step into the real realm, and after returning to Chang'an, he was willing to help Li Ye "rebel" and put Li Yan on the throne.
Realizing this, Li Ye could only smile bitterly and shake his head. In fact, he should have thought that with Li Xian's intelligence, if it was really Chu Nanhuai who led him to Bagong Mountain, he would not have been unaware, and he would not have gotten along with Chu Nanhuai until now.
Li Xian suddenly asked Li Ye: "What do you think of the layout of Bailu Cave?"
