Chapter 270: Entrusted with a Heavy Task
Zhang Qian lightly arched his hand, his attitude was neither perfunctory nor grand, as if it was just an ordinary meeting between peers.
Pengcheng Chenghuang didn't know that Zhang Qian was disappointed, and he didn't dare to imagine that Zhang Qian's original intention was to wait for Emperor Dongyue to come in person, seeing him so sluggish, he was a little panicked, bowed and bent over, turned his head sideways, opened and closed his lips slightly, and reminded him in a whisper: "This is Lord Taishan Mountain, the existence of Emperor Dongyue in my earth system, and the power in his hands is above ten thousand people under one person, and the Taoist chief should not be disrespectful." β
Isn't it self-deception to whisper in front of him? Pengcheng Chenghuang said everything he heard word for word, but he didn't care, with a slight wave of his hand, a bright yellow divine power gushed out from his palm, and in an instant, it didn't enter Pengcheng Chenghuang's eyebrows, only to see his body stiff, as if he was electrocuted, his eyes were closed, his teeth were clenched, like a wooden man, standing there without any movement, and then he hugged Zhang Qian's fist in return, not slacking off and not respectful, Zhang Qian's relationship with Emperor Dongyue made him dare not snub such a nobleman, but at present, his strength is not enough for him to respect from the heartγ
"Mount Tai Shen Shouwu has seen the Taoist. "The big man with a burly body and a domineering aura is quite a city person, and his tone is extremely calm, without a trace of arrogance.
"I originally thought that even if Emperor Dongyue couldn't come in person, he would be able to divide a wisp of Yuan Shen and meet me. Zhang Qian shook his head slightly, his disappointment fully revealed.
Shoulder Wu also had no emotion, and said straight to the point: "The Emperor is now playing chess with the Nine Heavens Interview Envoy in the Sanqing Palace, the fight between black and white is inextricable, a few days ago, he was able to divide the Yuan Shen to take care of some important affairs, but now there is no chance to withdraw, you borrowed the hand of Pengcheng Chenghuang to deliver the news, he received it, but he couldn't leave, so he ordered me to come." Deal with you with full authority and satisfy all the conditions you have made. β
"Meet all the conditions I mentioned?" Zhang Qian heard this, only feeling a little incomprehensible, he had not yet met him, he knew what he would ask for? And no matter what, everything was satisfied, but after thinking about it, it was clear in his heart that once the Yuan Shen was strong to a certain level, with the method of mathematical calculation, he could foresee the future to a certain extent. Emperor Dongyue is already the person who has broken through the door of all wonders and entered the realm of refining gods and anti-void, and the current situation is so obvious, as long as he knows his existence and identity, it should not be difficult to deduce what actions he will make, although this calculation is not necessarily accurate, but with this as a reference, he can also know in his heart.
"Since Emperor Dongyue understands what I want to do, then I won't twist and pinch to add hypocrisy. Zhang Qian gently lifted his robe and sat down calmly. Then he said straight to the point: "Now that the gods of the earth are suppressed by the Heavenly Court, intending to let the Daomen of the world take their place, Emperor Dongyue is now not so much playing chess with that Laoshizi Nine Days Interview Envoy in the Sanqing Palace, but is under house arrest." At present, there are only two ways before you, one is to rise up against the revolution and establish a new order on the ruins, and the other is to be content with the status quo and wait for the heavenly court to unload the mill and kill the donkey. As for my personal opinion, of course, I hope that you will rise up against Heaven. β
"Emperor Dongyue has long had this intention, and I know that you will mention this matter. So let me tell you, he is not a person who sits idly by, but now is not the best time, so he needs to be patient for the time being, but rebelling against Heaven is bound to be a very risky game, no matter at any time, even if he takes advantage of the time and place, he may fall into a catastrophe, so he also wants to hear your opinion, after all, you are a humane heir, representing a lineage. "I was not the slightest surprised to hear Zhang Qian's rebellious words, presumably Emperor Dongyue also had a revolutionary intention in his heart, and he was accustomed to it subtly, and he should also know Zhang Qian's identity and even all the details, and he said it in one word.
"I expect that Emperor Dongyue is not a person who can be slaughtered, but only with the power of the gods and spirits of the earth to fight alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to change the situation, such as today's court intends to sweep away all forces in the world except for the Daomen, and make enemies like forests, demon clans, ghost cultivators, The Demon Sect and I have felt the killing opportunity from Heavenly Court, and it is naturally not what my generation wants to be killed, but in the face of the huge power of Heavenly Court, any single resistance is a mantis arm, and it is difficult to become a big weapon, so I hope that these forces can be united, of course, this kind of thing is not suitable for the emperor to come forward, it is easy to arouse the detection of Heavenly Court, and it will be nipped in the bud before it succeeds, so it needs a small person like me to take the lead. β
Zhang Qian did not hide anything from his shoulder, and explained his thoughts to him clearly, since Emperor Dongyue told him all the details of his identity, he must be a very credible person.
As for his plan, in the final analysis, there is nothing clever, it is simply a combination of vertical and horizontal.
But as simple as it sounds, it's hard to execute.
First of all, there have been contradictions between the five families of the demon clan, the ghost cultivator, the demon sect, the humanitarian, and the gods since ancient times, representing different interests, even if there are common enemies, but it is also difficult to unite, even if they have to resist the pressure of the heavenly court, but in private, they are still their own masters. Zhang Qian wants to put down all the prejudices of the five forces and completely blend them into a whole, of course, it can't be done with just one mouth, there must be a devastating force as a reliance, first use the thunderous force to sweep away all the different voices, and then use absolutely powerful means to integrate, it is not difficult to imagine how much bloodshed and sacrifice there will be.
Resisting Heavenly Court Ge's own life is not a show, nor is it a dinner invitation, and it will not be simple.
And it is necessary to let the heavenly court not notice it, only in this way will it play the greatest role, and it can be described as casual with the words difficult as climbing to the sky, it can be said that it is frightening step by step, and if you are not careful, it will lead to annihilation.
Listening to what he said, Shouwu looked like he thought it was true, needless to say, he also knew in advance from Emperor Dongyue that Zhang Qian would have this plan, and he was not surprised, but he didn't immediately agree.
"Of course, it sounds a bit fantastical, the five forces have their own origins and prejudices against each other, and it is a little difficult to integrate them with the power of the next force, but it is man-made, if you don't try hard, how can you know that it won't work, take 10,000 steps back, no matter how difficult this matter is, it is still not worth mentioning compared to resisting the heavenly court, if you are hesitant in this matter. How can the emperor have the courage to face the heavenly court?" Zhang Qian also knew that the Emperor of Dongyue was testing himself, if he couldn't even convince him, how could he persuade the demon clan, the ghost path, and the demon gate to get along more difficult to get along with? In order to save trouble, he didn't shy away from anything, put aside the only trace of respect, and directly made his words clear.
He smiled and said, "The emperor still agrees with your opinion, but I don't know where to start. β
"I don't have a clear plan for where to start, and the situation is so unpredictable that I have to improvise. However, judging from the current situation, it is still quite optimistic, the demon gate and the demon clan should have reached an agreement, which I am sure of, otherwise Xiaoweishan would not have sent a group of people to die in vain, the reason is ridiculous, but the beneficiary is the bull-headed ghost general who shoulders the mission, and I am a disciple of Xiaoweishan, as long as I control the Xiaoweishan Cave Heaven. I will inherit this relationship, and progress will be steadily deepened, and I will be the heir of the Holy Emperor of Humanity, as long as the time is ripe. I will make my identity public, and it will not be a problem to integrate the remnants of humanity in the world, so that the three forces will become one. β
Zhang Qian talked eloquently, and then looked at the mountain god with deep meaning. He smiled freely and said, "Presumably, Emperor Dongyue also waited for the time he wanted at that time, right?"
Shugo nodded, but didn't speak.
Zhang Qian stroked his palms and smiled, and said, "In this way, the forces of the four parties have become a whole. As for ghost cultivation, since ancient times, there has been no separation between the Yin Division and the Earth, so I guess Emperor Dongyue can convince him, right?"
"If it is really as you said, the demon clan, the demon sect, the humanitarians, and the gods can smoothly form an alliance, I am afraid that before the emperor comes forward, the ghost cultivator will be eager to melt in, you must know that it is always the most dangerous to be alone. Shoulder Wu smiled, showing an approving look for the first time, but looking at the problem more carefully, and said: "But if you want to control the Xiaowei Mountain Cave Heaven, it's not that easy, right? β
"Of course I don't have the ability to press my head without drinking water now, don't say that the three major demon venerables, even the head of Ling Xiaozi can poke me to death with one finger, I just provide them with a choice, of course, you must believe me, and the premise of believing in me is that I must have enough weight, one is strength, this is the most basic, in the Demon Sect, the fist is the right to speak, this cannot be faked, and I can only rely on myself, as for the other point, that is, the forces behind me, or the forces I represent, can they attract their attention, the identity of my Humanity Saint Emperor is not enough, after all, humanity has now declined, so I need Emperor Dongyue to support me behind me, what my little person said is not credible, but Emperor Dongyue is not. Zhang Qian glanced at his shoulder and made his words very clear, "But I always have reason to make them believe that I can fully represent the intentions of Emperor Dongyue." β
Shoulder Wu showed a thoughtful look, but he didn't hesitate for a moment, and with a wave of his sleeves, a large seal carved by flawless white jade suddenly flew out of the half of the scroll.
A lifelike unicorn coiled on the seal was pierced with angry eyes, as if it might pounce down at any moment.
Engraved eight characters - heaven and earth are selfless, and the gods are inspected.
"Emperor's Seal. Zhang Qian immediately recognized this thing when he saw it, a little surprised, he needed a token to prove to people that he could represent the intention of the Emperor of Dongyue, this shoulder I also understood his meaning, obviously his request was also expected by the Emperor of Dongyue, but he never expected that the Emperor of Dongyue would give him his big seal, although this thing is not a magic weapon, but it is a symbol, and the jade seal in the hands of the emperor, but the significance of this emperor seal is more significant, representing the supreme divine power, the Emperor of Dongyue is also using this thing to order the gods of the worldγ
Zhang Qian now only hopes that Emperor Dongyue can appoint him as a 'Qincha', so that he can use this identity to carry out his wishes.
Emperor Dongyue also readily agreed, but did the emperor issue a 'jade seal' as a token to Qincha?
Zhang Qian felt that a stamped document could prove his identity as a 'Qincha', and Emperor Dongyue's move was really a bit of a fuss, which made him feel a sense of sincere fear.
But in front of a person who has the opportunity to take the lead in everything, there is still room for shirk, and he endured the restless emotions in his heart, took the white jade seal handed over by Shouwu, and carefully examined it, not that he suspected fraud, but just wanted to take a closer look at what this thing that commanded the gods of the world and the earth was like, of course he didn't feel that he had mastered the gods of the earth with a seal, this was all nonsense, but Emperor Dongyue sealed it to him. It definitely has extraordinary significance, thinking of Emperor Dongyue now playing chess with the Nine Heavens Interview Envoy in the Sanqing Palace, he felt that he had been pitted, and he felt a heavy pressure on his shoulders, and his feelings Dongyue Emperor had already calculated it.
Presumably, Emperor Dongyue is already in an extremely dangerous situation now, and it will never be as simple as what he said, and he is not even sure that he will be able to get out safely, so he handed over this emperor seal to himself.
I hope that I can take charge of the Shinto power for him in times of crisis, so that the earthly gods can survive the crisis safely. We will not fall into a situation where we are slaughtered by others.
Zhang Qian held the heavy white jade seal in his hand, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but have a wry smile.
I really can't believe that this Dongyue Emperor believes in himself so much, trust is of course the most basic, does he dare to conclude that he must have the ability to help the earth gods and spirits tide over the crisis?
However, Emperor Dongyue has already done this, and since this thing has been taken over, he has not returned it yet, so Zhang Qian can only admit it.
"Presumably, the Taoist chief has this thing to win everyone's trust, and the plan should be able to be implemented smoothly, right?" asked Shoulder Go, solemnly.
Zhang Qian waved his hand and carefully put away the white jade seal. Impatiently, he said, "No problem." β
"There is another matter that needs to be explained clearly to the Taoist chief, now that Emperor Dongyue is a guest in the Sanqing Palace, he has no time to deal with government affairs, and now the trivial affairs of the gods and spirits are temporarily taken care of by me. But there are some important things that need to be sealed before the gods in various places will carry them out, so there will be some important things in the future. During this time of the Dao Master's palm print, it may be handed over to you to deal with. Shoulder suddenly remembered something and said seriously.
"I'll deal with it?" Zhang Qian didn't expect that Emperor Dongyue would not only hand over the seal to himself. Even the power has been handed over to himself, what does this mean? But I don't want to get involved in this pool of troubled waters, although this power is enough to make everyone in the world hot, but that was in the past, now the earth god has been greatly weakened, and he is in a deep predicament, he will only face trouble, he has reluctantly borne the pressure for him, and then help him solve the trouble, and he will be full of support? However, considering the face of Emperor Dongyue, he still changed his attitude of refusal to be a little more tactful," How to deal with these things, it is better to work harder than those who can do it, and you can deal with all the big and small affairs, and make a good decision and take it directly to me to make a seal, what do you think? Of course, if it is a major matter related to the life and death of the gods and spirits of the earth, I will bring the seal to integrate people's hearts. β
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, the Daoist can easily navigate between the Demon Sect and the Daomen, and the identity of the Emperor has been concealed from the people of the world, every time the Emperor mentions this matter, he praises it, calling you wise and close to the demon, and you have the courage that the world can't have, no matter how dangerous the situation is, you will always maintain a calm mind, and you are definitely capable of escorting my Shinto. "My tone is sincere and my attitude is very firm.
Zhang Qian saw that this shoulder Wu had no opinion of his own at all, and he was completely relaying the opinion of Emperor Dongyue, and he knew that it was useless to tell him, as long as he endured it.
Although this right will bring him endless trouble, but if it is used well, it will also bring him huge benefits, which is a mixed bag, anyway, he owes Emperor Dongyue a favor, so it doesn't hurt to grit his teeth and help him bear all this, and then asked: "That is the case, how can I keep in touch with you?" Every time I tear the void and pass through, this matter must not be easy. β
"Of course, if it weren't for the Jiangshan Society Diagram left by Emperor Dongyue, with the strength of the next generation, it would not be possible to tear the void at all, and every time it tears the void, it would require the consumption of more than 100,000 Pure Yang Great Dans, and this method cannot be used often, it is easy to cause the masters to notice. Shoulder Wu explained a little, Zhang Qian couldn't help laughing after hearing it, from the beginning to the present, I'm afraid that this sentence was not arranged for him by Emperor Dongyue, this guy is an out-and-out microphone, and he also has a deep awe for Emperor Dongyue who knows what he thinks in his heart, not because of his status, but because of this demonic strength.
This is only the strength of the Anti-Void Realm, it is rumored that after surviving the Thunder Tribulation of Life and Destruction, there is no need for complex calculations, and there is no need for any basis, the Yuan Shen directly has the ability to glimpse the past and the future.
And the several great immortal kings of Heavenly Court all have this kind of strength, wouldn't everything they do be presented in front of them nakedly?
Although this was just a groundless speculation, the smile on Zhang Qian's face immediately stiffened when he thought of this.
I didn't know what Zhang Qian was laughing at or what he was worried about, so he continued to convey the things that Emperor Dongyue had explained, pointed to the stone book and said, "You only need to use the book to keep in touch with me." β
Zhang Qianyan woke up from the predicament when he heard this, and he didn't know if he was unfounded, if the great immortal kings really had this ability, he would not be able to die a thousand times, but he was alive and well now, and he had not been hit by any blows from his own heavenly court, only Su Mucheng of Chang'an had broken into his mental illusion, but he had not yet found his hiding place, it seemed that there was an invisible force protecting himself in the underworld, there was no doubt that his father did all this, and he didn't want to think about it, and said to him: " In other words, this Pengcheng Chenghuang will follow me in the future?"
"Well, that's pretty much what it means?" Shoulder nodded.
"What about this place in Pengcheng? Leave it alone, let Daomen Bai pick up such a big bargain?" Zhang Qian couldn't believe it.
"It's up to you to decide. Shouwu smiled, although it looked rustic, Zhang Qian had an urge to smoke him. (To be continued......)
