Chapter 144: The Union of Fate
Lick laughed out loud at what he heard, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: "God?"
A hint of a smile appeared on Yelu Abaoji's face, it looked sunny and harmless to humans and animals, but there was already an unknown sharp edge hidden inside: "The king of the county seems to have some misunderstanding of the gods?"
Li Ke flicked his sleeves and sneered: "There are gods in the world, and there are immortals in the sky, but there is only one god in heaven and earth, and that is myself!"
"God is God, and man is man. Since the county king is so unclear about his position, it seems that it is necessary for me to help the county king and let you recognize your identity. Yelu Abaoji's tone was as usual, and even the smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest, and he didn't look angry at all, but he gently raised his hand to Li Keyong.
The movement of his hand was so light, like to catch the falling snowflakes, gentle and not threatening. However, when Li Keyong and Kang Junli saw this scene, their eyes changed drastically.
The aura in the room was emptied in an instant!
The two monks were like a quagmire, not only could they no longer sense the aura around them, but even the aura in the sea of qi was extremely difficult. It's like a big man who has his hands and feet tied and can't move freely anymore, and for the monk, it's a fatal dilemma.
There is only one explanation for being able to evacuate the aura in the house so quickly, and at the same time suppress the operation of the aura in the two of them.
The other party's cultivation is much higher than the two of them!
The two of them realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly pulled out at the same time.
However, it was too late.
Yelu Abaoji smiled brightly, but his eyes were full of jokes: "The two of you are in such a hurry to go out, as a friend, of course I have to give you a ride." ”
He jerked his wrist and pressed it.
The aura that gathered in front of his palm like a wind turned into two streams of transparent spring water and struck out abruptly.
Li Ke glared with his eyes, he obviously saw the spiritual energy spring flying, and the speed was not so exaggerated, but he just couldn't dodge. Because his body speed has been completely suppressed.
With two bangs, the aura flying spring smashed on the chests of Li Keyong and Kang Junli, and the two of them spurted out a mouthful of blood at the same time, and the broken kite fell like a poofed onto the cold and hard bluestone slab in the courtyard.
Li Keyong and Kang Junli were furious at the same time.
In their territory, their mansion, they were injured by such a merciless attack by an alien steppe man, and anyone would feel disgraced.
But the two could only suppress their anger.
Because on the roofs and courtyard walls on all sides, there are more than a dozen Khitan monks who are eyeing them.
Even without these great cultivators, just Yelu Abaoji's action was enough to make them feel awe-inspired, and they didn't dare to act rashly.
Yelu Abaoji came to the door, looked at them with his hands in his hands, and his sunny smile revealed a sincerity that made people undoubted: "My friends, you should know by now that you must not be disrespectful to God in the slightest. If God wants to kill you, he doesn't have to do it himself, his warriors and servants can make you ...... Well, you can only lie on the ground. ”
Li Keyong barely stood up, he had vomited blood a few times before, and he was injured by Yelu Abaoji again, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and now he has little combat power. But even if he's in his prime, he knows he's no match for the other side, so it doesn't make a difference.
"What the hell do you want to do?" asked Rick with a gloomy face.
Yelu Abaoji smiled: "It seems that our Royal Highness the county king didn't listen to me carefully, but it's okay, I can say it again: we are here to help you." And you have seen our strength, and you have experienced it yourself, I believe you will not refuse again. ”
Li Keyong really couldn't refuse anymore, of course, not because he thought the other party was stronger than Li Ye's monk group, but because he clearly knew that the other party was stronger than himself. So, now his life is in the hands of the other party.
He had no choice.
Li Keyong understood this, and Yelu Abaoji naturally understood it even more, so he made a gesture of invitation sideways: "If the king of the county understands it, we might as well sit down and talk." Believe me, God's warriors have enough power to help you rise again, and it doesn't require you to do anything, on the contrary, God is willing to give you a chance to worship Him and become His servant. This is a great thing, and not everyone qualifies as a servant of God. ”
By the time Lick sat down in the room, he had already figured out a lot of things.
The most important point is why the other party wants to help him deal with Li Ye.
There is no need to doubt this fact, if the other party has other plans, there is no need to hide it at all, they have the strength to make Li Ke obedient.
The Khitan rose strongly, sweeping through the central and eastern steppes, and since the power reached the territory of the Tatar region, if it wanted to expand its territory again, it would only face two opponents.
To the west, there were the Uighur tribes who believed in Mingjiao and had their main forces around the Tianshan Mountains and in the Western Regions, and to the south, the Tang Dynasty under the rule of the Daomen Immortal Court.
Compared with the barren Western Regions and the Uighur territories, which have no other special features, the prosperous and prosperous Tang Dynasty is undoubtedly a more attractive existence.
However, at present, the grassland has not been completely pacified, and the Khitan certainly does not want a peaceful and prosperous Tang Empire to appear. After all, during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the entire grassland was subservient and under its rule.
If the Tang Dynasty quickly quells the domestic turmoil and rises again, then it will logically re-establish the grasslands - at least, the Tang Dynasty will not want a strong enemy to emerge in the north that has unified the grasslands.
The developed Khitan and the Central Plains are fatalistic enemies. Either the Khitan moved south, or the Tang army sent troops north.
This is still secondary.
What's more, there is no god and immortal who does not covet the rich and beautiful cave blessed land of Datang.
Li Ke sneered: "I really can't imagine that just one Li Ye, with only 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and only a few feudal towns in the battle area, has already attracted the fear of the grassland, and even your Khitan has to borrow the hand of this king to restrain him." ”
Yelu Abaoji was noncommittal: "Li Ye's strength, the king of the county should have a deeper understanding than us." With the strength of the five states of Pinglu, 100,000 troops, and being able to quickly sweep away the powerful Hedong, doesn't it already say everything?"
Li Keyong no longer talked nonsense: "Take out your conditions and say your requirements." ”
Yelu Abaoji clapped his hands and said: "Talking to a smart person is labor-saving, since the king of the county is happy, what reason do I have to hide? The conditions we can give are very generous, the soldiers and horses that the king of the county did not borrow from the Tatar department, we can give it to you, and the strong monk group that the king of the county cannot borrow from the Tatar department, we can also give it to you." Our requirements are very simple, you just need to bow down to the Khitan, accept our canonization, and become a servant of the gods, and respect the gods. ”
Li Keyong frowned: "Divine Sect?"
Yelu Abaoji's smile was full of pride and confidence: "The warriors of God naturally have a name, just like the reason why the warriors of God and Daomen are called Shimen and Daomen, the warriors of God are the Divine Sect." ”
Rick fell silent.
Yelu Abaoji has made it very clear that if he wants the Khitan to help him, he must become a Khitan courtier and a disciple of the Divine Sect. That is to say, from now on, he will no longer be an independent prince, but a spokesman for Khitan support.
However, for Li Keyong, this is not a psychological burden. For him, it was nothing more than replacing the Buddha Sect with a Divine Religion. From the bottom of his heart, he would not be a disciple of the Buddha Sect or a disciple of the Divine Sect, he was just acting in vain and relying on the strength of the other party's monks.
When he achieves the great cause of the true dragon, holds the authority of the world, and is blessed by the fortunes of the dynasty, he will kick the other party away. At that time, he will also send troops to the grassland to destroy the Khitan.
In the final analysis, everything is just a strategy of temporary alliance and exploitation.
Therefore, after Li Keyong pondered for a while, he accepted Yelu Abaoji's conditions.
Yelu Abaoji admired Li Keyong's knowledge of current affairs, and he said with confidence: "The king of the county is indeed a hero, believe me, with the help of the Divine Sect and the Khitan, the king of the county will definitely be able to achieve great things." ”
When he said this, he seemed extremely sincere, as if he did not know Li Keyong's true mind at all.
But in fact, Yelu Abaoji has a clear view of everything.
After all, he would be the founder of the Khitan Kingdom and the founder of the Liao Dynasty.
The Divine Sect Immortals are fighting against the Immortal Court in the Immortal Domain, and the two sides are fighting inextricably, at this time, of course, the more chaotic the Divine Prefecture, the better, so that the Immortal Court will not be able to gather the power of the Divine Prefecture. So Yelu Abaoji doesn't care whether Li Keyong is sincere or not.
And no matter what Li Ke thinks, Yelu Abaoji has the confidence to control him.
After all, the other party is just a mortal, but there are immortals behind him.
And as long as Li Keyong becomes a member of the Divine Sect, the power of the Divine Sect will infiltrate the Tang Dynasty, which is like a wedge, inserted into the flesh and blood of the Daomen Immortal Court, and will continue to make the Immortal Court lose blood.
Just like the expansion of Shimen's power in the north before, once Li Keyong took refuge in the Divine Cult, the Divine Cult temples would be built in the east of the river, and hundreds of people would become believers in the Divine Cult, and the Immortal Court would lose the faith and incense offerings in these places.
The two of them have their own ghosts, and they both think that they have eaten each other, and their faces are filled with extraordinarily friendly smiles, as if they are afraid that the other party will not feel their "true feelings".
Then came the time of the vow.
Since the Divine Religion is respected, then all the etiquette rules and regulations must be in accordance with the model of the Divine Religion, Li Keyong instructed Kang Jun to go down and prepare sacrificial items such as livestock incense, and to set up an altar in the Assassin's Mansion to carry out the ceremony of Yelu Abaoji accepting him into the Divine Religion.
While waiting, the two talked cordially and chatted, and Yelu Abaoji confided in his heart: "The Khitan started at the end of the micro-end, and the bloody struggle has the current situation, and all you want is to dominate the grassland." The king of the county should understand that we grassland people are not adapted to the way of life in the Central Plains, so we will not go south to the Yellow River. In the future, the king of the county will achieve great things and become the lord of the Central Plains, but don't raise troops to the north and destroy the peace of the grassland!"
Li Keyong immediately assured: "This king is determined to be in the Central Plains and has no intention of going north." Moreover, for thousands of years, the Central Plains has never really incorporated the grasslands into the counties, and the labor expedition is actually not beneficial. ”
The two had a good conversation and were very satisfied.
But at this moment, an inopportune voice came: "What a harmonious scene for the guests and hosts as soon as possible, the lonely king will be moved by the sincerity of the two, and he can't wait to go back to his house immediately and give up Hedong." ”
Hearing the voice, Yelu Abaoji and Li Keyong's faces changed, and they flew out of the door and came to the courtyard at the same time.
When the two looked up, they saw a young man in a dark robe standing in the air under the sea of stars in the sky, with thousands of manners, overlooking all living beings.
