Chapter 10: The Struggle between Man and Lord

East Floating Museum.

After talking about Li Ye, Duobao Daoist reported some miscellaneous matters to the Muddy Dust Daoist as usual. During this period, most of the people in the mud and dust Dao only listened and nodded, and only said two words at the very joint.

At the end, Muchen said: "Now is an eventful season, the fairy world war is non-stop, and the mortal world battle has also reached a critical time. There's a lot to deal with for you, and if one person can't keep it busy, you can give some more to Jin Ling if she has the ability. ”

Duobao Daoist said respectfully: "Master, rest assured, the cultivation of the Holy Mother of Jin Ling is not under the disciple, and her ability to handle various affairs is no worse than that of the disciple. ”

The Muddy Daoist nodded, "In that case, I'll give her half of the burden on your shoulders." ”

Duobao Dao Man's eyes changed, but because he lowered his head, his reaction was not exposed to the sight of the Muddy Dao Man.

Under the circumstance that the Muddy Dust Daoist was under house arrest in the Dongfu Palace, and could only remotely control the disciples of the sect and could not give specific commands, the Duobao Daoist had a considerable amount of authority when dealing with specific affairs.

Now the meaning of the words of the Muchen Daoist is tantamount to dividing half of the authority of the Duobao Daoist to the Golden Spirit Holy Mother.

Duobao Dao people can't object.

In fact, as an existence whose cultivation is not weaker than him, the Holy Mother of Jin Ling, although she is not the chief disciple under the command of the Mud Dust Dao people, she has always undertaken about thirty percent of the daily affairs.

However, the difference between Sancheng and the general is still too big.

The authority of the Duobao Daoist was suddenly reduced by half by the Mud Dust Daoist, which made him extremely dissatisfied. However, he didn't show anything, he still talked to the mud and dust Taoist with a smile on his face, and praised the Holy Mother of Jin Ling for her outstanding ability, which made the burden on his shoulders a lot lighter, and he was very grateful for the care of the mud and dust people.

"If the master doesn't have any other instructions, the disciple will retreat first. ”

After chatting with the mud and dust Taoist for a while, Duobao Taoist bowed down and resigned.

The mud and dust man waved his hand, motioning for him to take care of himself.

After the Duobao Daoist retreated away from the sight of the Muchen Daoist, he turned around and walked normally, with a smile on his face.

It wasn't until he got out of the gate of the East Floating Palace that the eyes of Duobao Dao people suddenly became gloomy, and there was an extremely vicious and vicious color in his eyes.

That was more than the level of resentment that should be felt when some authority was taken away.

When the Duobao Daoist turned to leave, the Muddy Dust Daoist who didn't look this way also flashed a cold and sarcastic arc at the corner of his mouth.

Not long after, a person walked out of the East Floating Palace and came to the mud and dust Taoist to stand with his hands tied.

The mud and dust Taoist looked at the garden without looking back, and his voice was light: "You also saw it, Duobao's reaction was very problematic." ”

Our Lady of Jin Ling looked uneasy, and hesitated, "Master, what is wrong with him, senior brother?"

The mud and dust people didn't say much.

Not all words need to be said to the people below.

Just now, he suddenly divided the authority of the Duobao Dao people, but the other party did not show any resistance, which is really abnormal-there is no verbal conflict, and there is no even conflict, the difference is very big.

In the middle of the sound, the mud and dust Taoist said: "You make arrangements, for the teacher, I want to meet someone." ”

"Who does Master want to see?"

A meaningful smile appeared in the corner of the mud and dust man's eyes, "A person who is suffering." ”

......

Duobao Daoist left the East Floating Palace, returned to his Immortal Palace, and after staying for a long time, quietly sneaked to meet someone.

The Immortal Emperor was staring at a furnace of pills in the Dan room. As the master of the immortal court, he rarely has the time to refine the pill with his own hands, and the pills he usually rewards are all refined by the immortal officials, and it is these immortal officials who are alchemy in the Dan room at this moment.

Sensing that someone special had arrived, the Immortal Emperor left the Danfang and came to the side hall, and with a wave of his sleeves, he laid a layer of enchantment, and only let that special person in.

Seeing the Immortal Emperor, the Duobao Daoist saluted respectfully, and his attitude was even more pious than when facing the mud and dust Daoist, "The minister sees Your Majesty!"

The Immortal Emperor sat down on the grand and elegant throne, instructed the Duobao Daoist to calm down, and then asked lightly, "How are you doing what I have told you to do?"

Duobao Daoist stood in the hall, respectfully revealing joy, "The minister has repeatedly confirmed that the plan of the Muchen Daoist this time is still the same as usual!"

The Immortal Emperor was noncommittal: looking at the Duobao Dao people, "Is it really the same?"

Bearing the gaze of the Immortal Emperor, Duobao Dao people didn't dare to move for half a minute, he knew that if he had the slightest sign of lying at this time, he would not be able to hide it from the eyes of the Immortal Emperor, but fortunately, he didn't have to lie at all, "The mud and dust Dao people still said today, we ...... Their strength has not yet accumulated enough, and at the moment they can only keep their heads in the dark, use the world as a chess game in exchange for a place to stand up, and wait until they ...... The strength has accumulated enough, and then he thinks about it. ”

The Immortal Emperor nodded with a deep sigh, "In this way, when Li Ye and Zhu Wen fight in the Central Plains, you will completely activate the layout behind Li Ye's eyes, sanity, and trouble, and let him be completely defeated?"

"Your Majesty. Duobao Daoist hurriedly said yes, "Mud Dust Dao people, they have this strength now." ”

Speaking of this, seeing that the Immortal Emperor was deep in thought, Duobao Daoist closed his mouth and did not dare to disturb.

Half a ring, wait until the Immortal Emperor stops thinking. Only then did the Duobao Daoist ask tentatively: "Your Majesty, the price offered by the Muddy Dust Daoist this time is six hundred immortal official positions above the seventh grade. ”

"Six hundred? The Immortal Emperor laughed, he stood up and waved his hand, "Forget it, give it to him." When this happens, I'll get rid of them completely!"

"Yes!" said Duobao Daoren's expression was awe-inspiring.

The Immortal Emperor glanced at Duobao Daoren, smiled kindly, and said, "Don't worry, I have always had clear rewards and punishments, and I will definitely not treat you badly in the future." When the mud and dust are completely pulled out, I will let you be ranked as the third public. ”

Hearing the words "Three Princes", Duobao Daoist was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to the ground, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

In the Immortal Emperor Dynasty, the status of the Three Princes is the most noble, and he commands all the immortal officials, and below this is Jiuqing.

As the eldest disciple under the command of the master of the Tongtian Sect, and the most powerful and highest-ranking person in their faction today, Duobao Dao people are already among the Jiuqing, but they are undoubtedly a cut behind the three dukes.

Duobao has the cultivation strength of the third duke, but strength is not equal to everything, he needs the opportunity given by the Immortal Emperor.

And this is the reason why Duobao Dao people took refuge in the Immortal Emperor and were willing to be undercover agents for him.

In fact, in order to win over the Duobao Dao people, the Immortal Emperor has always paid a lot of price.

But this was worth it for the Immortal Emperor, because with the surrender of the Duobao Dao people, he had the ability to completely wipe out the Tongtian Sect Master's faction.

Returning to his immortal palace, it took a long time for Duobao Dao people to hold back the joy in their hearts.

He came to the window and looked in the direction of the East Floating Museum, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

After a long time, Duobao Daoist sighed ashamedly: "Master, don't blame me. After all, the Immortal Court is the Immortal Court of the Immortal Emperor, and since the moment we were defeated, we have actually had no chance to make a comeback...... The Immortal Emperor will never give us this chance!"

His eyes gradually darkened, "The Tongtian Sect Master Sect has no chance, but I have a Duobao Dao person! I have such cultivation strength, why should I go to the dark with a group of people who are destined to perish? I should have a great future, and I have the opportunity to impact the saint realm! This opportunity can only be achieved if I first become the Third Duke and master more cultivation resources!"

"Even if I don't take refuge in the Immortal Emperor, there will be others who take refuge, in fact, I'm just protecting myself...... Master, you have done a good job of using the world as chess for so many years, but with heaven and earth as chess, you really don't have a chance. But it doesn't matter, the disciple is your disciple after all, and the disciple will achieve great achievements in the future and surpass you, you should also feel gratified, right?"

......

The Abyss of Heavenly Punishment.

The vast abyss with no bottom in sight was filled with billowing black smoke, and the five fingers could not be seen. In the dark bottom, countless fierce beasts roared and ran, sometimes thousands of thunder and lightning roared down, and sometimes ghosts howled and blood shadows rushed towards them, making this place even more terrifying than the Infernal Hell.

In the center of the bottom of the abyss, there is a lonely towering mountain peak, there is a clearing at the top of the peak, and there are dense giant stone pillars standing in the clearing, and in the center of the stone pillar is a person who is being torn flesh and blood by fierce beasts, bombarded by lightning, and drilled into the body by ghosts.

He was tortured all the time, covered in blood and trembling, and looked like a rotten flesh in human form.

But he didn't die, and his powerful cultivation power made his wounded body continue to heal. However, this was not his blessing, but the source of his pain, and the new flesh on his wound was always destroyed by all kinds of torture before it could grow well.

So the pain never ends.

However, there are countless voices in the abyss, but there is no cry from him.

He tilted his face back and tilted his head from beginning to end, looking indifferent and contemptuous. So even if he is embarrassed by his cloak, he has an uninhibited charm because of his look.

"Looking at Zhenjun's calm and relaxed appearance, if I hadn't known that this was the Heavenly Punishment Abyss, I would almost have thought that Zhenjun was not undergoing punishment, but was just using external forces to sharpen his own cultivation. ”

A voice sounded in Yang Jian's ears, and a figure that seemed to be real and phantom appeared in front of him.

Yang Jian glanced at the projection of the mud and dust Taoist, his eyes were indifferent, and he didn't look too lazy to speak.

The mud and dust Taoist floated in front of him and sat cross-legged, deaf to the ghost crying wolf howl around him, and said: "Zhenjun is a person who understands, and the old Tao doesn't talk nonsense, I came back here to form an alliance with Zhenjun." ”

Yang Jian was still too lazy to speak, but the disdain in his eyes had already indicated his attitude.

The mud and dust Dao people didn't think it was a pestle, and seemed to know what the other party was thinking: "Zhenjun may think that I don't have the ability to overthrow the Immortal Emperor, so he thinks that I can't do it myself." Indeed, if it is changed to the past, the old way can indeed only survive, even if there is a big movement in the mortal world, he has to obediently hand over the good situation to others, in exchange for a place to stand. ”

Speaking of this, he laughed at himself: "So no matter how you look at it, the old way seems ridiculous - doing ridiculous things, so he is a ridiculous person." ”

"However, the True Monarch should know that with the situation of the old Dao, if he hadn't done this, how would the Immortal Emperor have allowed my people to survive in peace until now? It is precisely in order to make the Immortal Emperor believe in this that over the years, Lao Dao has given countless good situations in the mortal world to the Immortal Emperor. ”

"Maybe in the Immortal Emperor, my ridiculous behavior has also saved him a lot of trouble. After all, the world is so big, there are so many princes, and the problems are so complicated, our people have destroyed some princes and solved some problems, and the Immortal Emperor only needs to deal with us. ”

"The point is, we did give him a great deal at the end of each time, and he really did a lot of good work to solve a lot of threats, and he got a lot of benefits. In this way, Zhenjun said, what reason does the Immortal Emperor have to erase us? We are simply his minions. He wished we could go to the mortal world to make a fuss, so that he could save a lot of energy. ”

The mud and dust Taoist sighed abruptly, "Take the world as a chess piece and change the place of the cone...... Is it a place to stand in exchange for the situation in the world? No, not really, it is actually exchanged for this kind of behavior!"

After saying this, the mud and dust Taoist looked at Yang Jian and stopped talking, as if he was waiting for the other party to make a statement.

If he can say this, he is already showing sincerity.

Yang Jian leaned at the mud and dust Daoist, "You also said the same thing to your disciples?"

The Muddy Dust Daoist smiled calmly, "Of course not. For people like the Guanghan Fairy, I would say the ideal of righteousness, because they pursue this. For people like Duobaodao, I would say power struggle, because they don't believe in ideals, only selfish desires, and they think they have seen through the true face of the world, so they only believe in reality. ”

Speaking of this, the Muddy Dust Daoist sneered: "In comparison, Duobao Dao people are more stupid. Reality is that the strong are respected, reality is that those who are favored by luck achieve great things, reality is that those who are wise and knowledgeable stand on a high place, reality is that true feelings are more precious than interests, reality is that interests are more real than true feelings, and reality is ...... It's reality!"

Yang Jian said coldly: "The reality is that you are talking in your dreams now. ”

The mud and dust Taoist was stunned, and then laughed out loud.

At the end, he gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Zhenjun is really a wise and knowledgeable person!"

He stood up and shook his sleeves, "It's not a secret, Lao Dao has already noticed that the Duobao Dao people have taken refuge in the Immortal Emperor - he thinks he knows his master, but in fact, his master knows him better than him." Therefore, Lao Dao borrowed his hand, and he was able to deceive the Immortal Emperor for a while - to convince a person to believe in himself, sincerity is the most important thing, and Duobao Dao people thought that what he knew was the truth, so he was naturally able to make the Immortal Emperor believe it. ”

"Of course, Zhenjun wouldn't want to hear Lao Dao say this. What Lao Dao wants to say this time is that this time the mortal world dispute is different from the past, Li Ye is also different from those previous monarchs, he is an opportunity for Lao Dao, and Lao Dao will do his best to help him. Therefore, if Zhenjun is willing, he can join forces with Lao Dao. ”

The contempt in Yang Jian's eyes did not decrease, "Seeing people talking about people, and talking nonsense when you see ghosts, you tell Fairy Guanghan that you want to reshape the order of heaven and earth, and tell Duobao Dao people that you will continue to cultivate obscurity, which sentence do you think I will believe you?"

The Muddy Dust Daoist was silent for a moment.

He looked directly into Yang Jian's eyes: "The master of the people never tells the whole truth to the people, he always says different things in front of different people, and he says what he needs to say when he needs to say something." Then the true monarch should know that there is one thing that will never change in the human master. ”

"What's the matter?"

"The reason why the master of man is the master of man is that he will never be subservient to others!"

Yang Jian was silent.

Of course, the master of the Tongtian Sect is the master of the people.

His goal is naturally to overthrow the Immortal Emperor and become the master of the Immortal Court.

So as soon as the time comes, he will act with thunder.
