Chapter 188: Biyou Palace's Confession to the Holy (First Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
In the castle, the wolf was also very puzzled by the Shang army's retreat to Xiqi, and the assassination that day caused considerable chaos, not only heavy losses, but also a big blow to morale. Now the city is heavily guarded, and everyone is afraid that when the enemy army will sneak into the city and cause chaos.
At this time, a message came from the Xizuo lurking in Xiqi that the reason for the retreat of the merchant army seemed to be that the Son of Heaven was in poor health, and he had urgently summoned a famous doctor from Xiqi to the palace for diagnosis and treatment.
The wolf also felt strange first, it is said that the Son of Heaven is infinitely powerful, and it has to be passed down from person to person, when he conquered Dongyi, he also personally subdued the Chiyou blade "devouring the soul", how could he suddenly feel unwell?
Soon, a new message came from the Son of Heaven: the Son of Heaven was not sick, but that something had gone wrong in his cultivation, and it was said that the problem was the dual cultivation technique that the Son of Heaven had indulged in. Although there is no fear of life for the time being, it also needs a long period of recuperation to recover.
As soon as the wolf and the immovable Taoist heard the news, their suspicions gradually disappeared, because the matter of the great merchant Tianzi indulging in women in recent years is known to the world, and it turns out that he wants to take the path of double cultivation, no wonder there is such a fork. Since Xiqi's intelligence sources are very reliable, and this is also a good explanation for the withdrawal of the Great Shang Army back to Xiqi, the wolf finally settled down first, and secretly helped me. The people who do not move the Tao are also happy, the Son of Heaven is sick, the Xiqi group of dragons has no leader, it is naturally difficult to start a war, these days the mountain city should be safe and sound, just to welcome the arrival of the saint.
The immovable Taoist didn't know that the real Great Shang Heavenly Son was in the Biyou Palace at this time, and he was facing the same saint.
The first feeling that the Tongtian Sect Master gave Zhang Zixing was the sea, the sea was not as high as the mountains and cliffs, it was unattainable, but it was boundless, and there was room for it. His appearance is that of a young Taoist in his early thirties, but he looks hazy and unpredictable, and he can't see clearly, but because the saint has vast magical powers, it is easy to change his appearance, so Zhang Zixing is not sure whether this sectarian saint is the mysterious man who gave him a mask and took away a small flying machine at that time.
Sanxiao didn't come with him, and those sectarians who intercepted the sect didn't appear near Biyou Palace, thinking that they had been instructed by the Tongtian Sect Master, so they could be regarded as giving him, the emperor of the world, a face, to meet alone.
Zhang Zixing showed a respectful look on his face, took a few steps forward, bowed down to the Tongtian Sect Master on the Nine Dragons Agarwood, and bowed three times.
"Shang Tangzi Xin knocked to see the saint of Shangqing, and the sect leader has a long life!"
As soon as the words fell, a futon suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Zixing, and the flat voice of the head Tongtian Sect Master came: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat." ”
"Thank you, saint. Zhang Zixing said a word, and sat down generously, without timidity.
The Tongtian Sect Master didn't ask him why he came from, but asked a strange question: "I heard that Your Majesty has set up a recruitment hall in Chaoge, regardless of your background, you only ask about your talents, but is there such a thing?"
Zhang Zixing was very surprised by this question from the Tongtian Sect Master, thought for a while, and replied: "This is indeed the case, Zixin thinks that a talented person, even if he is born poor, is also talented; If you insist on using only nobles and nobles, and you are biased towards a corner, you will have fewer and fewer available talents, which will be unfavorable to the country and the people. Whether it is a rich person or a poor person, after all, it is all the same word 'person'. Only by treating everyone equally, only by using talents, can the country prosper and prosper for a long time. Don't hide it from the saint, even if it is a different kind of demon clan in my Zhaoxian Pavilion, as long as you have real talent and learning, and you can sincerely serve you, you can also be contained and reused. ”
The Tongtian Sect Master was noncommittal about his answer: "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the Demon God Clan?"
When Zhang Zixing was in the Huoyun Cave, he had heard the Yellow Emperor mention it, and nodded immediately. The Tongtian Sect Master said again: "Does your 'equal treatment' cover the Demon God Clan?"
Zhang Zixing didn't understand the intention of the Tongtian Sect Master, and replied: "It is covered, the human race, the demon god race, and the demon race are all sentient beings. Due to coincidence, I have learned Emperor Xuan's true martial arts technique, if it is counted, I am also suspected of being a demon god clan, and I will not discriminate. But if you are my enemy, even if you are of the same race, I will not be half merciful. ”
"Legend has it that in recent years, His Majesty has been obsessed with lust and ignoring political affairs, but now it seems that it is not, what is the purpose?"
Zhang Zixing hesitated for a moment, and replied truthfully: "I am the emperor of the human world, and I am the king of all people. In the midst of the killing, it should be on the cusp of the storm and the target of everyone. However, I am an ordinary man, what strength do I have to resist? I can only use a little trick, retreat to the shadows, judge the situation, and seek a glimmer of life. I tried my best so hard, if I couldn't escape the fate of being on the list, it was also fate, but I want to have no regrets. ”
He came to Biyou Palace today to seek help from the sect, or even to form an alliance for protection, if he was too weak, how could he succeed?
In the twenty-fourth century, it was difficult to find employment because of the profession he was studying. At the repeated request of his parents, he went to the capital to find the help of a former friend of his father. The old friend was the person in charge of a company, treated him very politely, asked a few friends over the phone, but did not find a job suitable for him, and finally talked to him for a long time, among them, the most vivid memory of Zhang Zixing is the sentence "This world is to help the strong but not the weak." ”
Later, he did not insist on staying, or bothering the person again, but returned home, worked hard, and insisted on following his own path of scientific research, and finally achieved great success.
Whether it is the 24th century or the world, the survival of the fittest is an immutable theorem. Instead of showing weakness and seeking pity, it is better to show your own talents and worth, and win the appreciation and help of the other party.
So, today he had to take off his camouflage shell and show his true abilities to the Tongtian Sect Master.
The Tongtian Sect Master bowed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty is the supreme of the human world, known as the name of sainthood, and has such knowledge, why is it so polite to me, a person outside the world?"
Zhang Zixing said with a smile: "I made this great gift to the sect leader, not because the sect leader is a saint, but because I have admired it for a long time in my heart and did it sincerely. If it were a different saint, I wouldn't be like that, even if I bowed, it would be contrived. ”
Seeing that his last sentence was bold, the Tongtian Sect Master frowned slightly. I only heard Zhang Zixing say again: "The person I admire is not the supernatural power of the sect leader's mixed yuan saint, but the sect leader's way of 'teaching without class'. The saints of the people teach are quiet and inactive, and the exposition of the teachings is too heavy on the root origin, and there are few foreign races under the disciples. Only under your sect, all living beings in the world are regarded as one, whether they are immortals or mortals, they can listen to the scriptures and preach, and understand the wonderful law. As the saying goes, the sea is inclusive, and tolerance is great. It is no accident that your religion is so prosperous today. It is foolish to think that this is the way of a true saint. Compared with this, my decrees and measures should be insignificant! These words are sincere, not flattering, and the sect leader should not doubt me. ”
There seemed to be a flash of divine light in the eyes of the Tongtian Sect Master, and he smiled slightly, and said, "How can the poor Dao be suspicious? It's a bit surprising that you have received such praise from you now. It's just that I don't know if Your Majesty has come to my Biyou Palace, what important thing do you have to tell you?"
Zhang Zixing was ashamed, he knew that he had left a good impression in the heart of the Tongtian Sect Master, and now it was time to start an official "showdown", and he did not beat around the bush at the moment, and said: "I came to Biyou Palace, just because when I led the army to the west to conquer the dogs, I encountered a bad situation, and I came to ask the sect leader for help. ”
"Your Majesty is only afraid that I have a bad idea, I am an outsider, how can I care about such earthly things?"
Zhang Zixing shook his head and said, "If it's an earthly thing, how dare I alarm the sect leader?"
Then, he told the story of the invasion of the Western Sect through the dog Rong and the attempt to enter the Central Plains. The expression of the Tongtian Sect Master remained unchanged, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said: "The Western Sect Lotus Appearance, the Relic Yuan Light, is called the Elysium. The two saints are both pure guests, and they have always been partial to the western soil and have no quarrel with the world, how can this be?"
"If it is a normal day, when there is no quarrel with the world, but now that the list of gods is established, in the midst of the killing and robbery, the various sects should have a dispute of luck and luck, and it is inevitable, how can it really be transcendent?" Zhang Zixing was still a little nervous when he first saw the Tongtian Sect Master, but now he is completely let go, and he talks eloquently: "At present, the trend of the human religion is very smooth, and there is no disaster of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's annihilation, even if my great business is destroyed, it is just the rise and fall of the dynasty, so the saints of Bajing Palace are happy to be free and ignore it." The battle of luck should be divided into three schools, interception, exposition, and Western teaching. Among them, there are many people in your sect, their strength is strong, and their power should be the strongest. Exposition and Western religion are secondary. Dare to ask the sect leader, if you are the master of the Western religion or the interpretation of the religion, how should you deal with it?"
The Tongtian Sect Master didn't answer, but asked, "If it were Your Majesty, what would happen?"
"Four words, long-distance and close-range attack. The two factions will inevitably work together to defeat the strongest side first, and then fight again. I was originally the prime minister Jiang Shang in the middle of the court, but he abandoned the wealth for no reason, defected to Xiqi, this should be instructed, at this time the dog Rong invaded the east, although he fought fiercely with the countries of the West, captured several cities, but actually did not commit a crime with Xiqi, it is clear that there is a tacit understanding. Even if there is no tendency for the two to unite at present, it may not be in the future, and if there is such a day, the sect leader must take a long-term view. ”
The Tongtian Sect Master said: "Your Majesty is too alarmist, although the three of my senior brothers have their own teachings, they are all masters. The saint is my second senior brother, how can he lure foreign Western religions to beat me? If the Western Sect beats me, wouldn't it be like beating him?"
Zhang Zixing sighed secretly: It seems that the leader of the Tongtian Sect still does not believe that the Yuan Shi Tianzun will collude with the Western Sect, and in the plot of "Future", it is the Yuan Shi Tianzun who unites Lao Tzu, Zhun Ti, and Lead, and the Four Saints fight Tongtian alone, so that the Interception Sect has the fiasco of the Immortal Array, until the destruction of the Ten Thousand Immortal Array.
Zhang Zixing has always felt admiration and regret for this lonely sect master, and now he is given a chance to intervene in the "plot", whether it is for himself or others, he wants to change the ending.
