Chapter 289 The two saints are not the masterminds behind the scenes? Arriving in Central Continent
Senzo!
Xiaoleiyin Temple.
Inside the back cave.
Xu Qingxiao sat cross-legged and looked at the withered old monk in front of her.
"What does it have to do with Pingqiu Mansion?"
Xu Qingxiao still had an impression of Pingqiu Mansion. Prince Huaiping died because of Pingqiu Mansion.
At the beginning, there was a severe drought in Pingqiu Prefecture for several years. The imperial court allocated 30 million taels of silver, but Prince Huaiping withheld the disaster relief money, resulting in the deaths of three million people.
It was precisely because of this that he had to kill Prince Huaiping and invite the Holy Will.
But just because of this incident, he got into trouble one after another.
But I didn't expect that after going round and round, I would come back to this point again.
"World Honored One."
"The poor monk has a few things to ask the World Honored One."
The old monk spoke but did not answer directly.
"Master, please speak."
Xu Qingxiao listened attentively.
"First, the drought in Pingqiu Mansion is not a rare thing for the Wei Dynasty. Although rain-seeking charms are rare, the Wei Dynasty is not completely lacking. But with thirty-six rain-seeking charms, even if a drop of water has not fallen, the World Honored One can have them.
Confuse?"
The old monk opened his mouth and said this.
As soon as he said this, Xu Qingxiao suddenly realized something.
Indeed, when I first investigated the Pingqiu Mansion case, I ignored this detail.
In theory, if you use a rain charm, it will cause rain to fall. Raining is not a big deal.
But not a drop of rain fell from the thirty-six rain talismans.
There is obviously a problem with this.
However, at the beginning, I was still too limited to conventional thinking. I always felt that Prince Huaiping embezzled 30 million taels of silver.
Now that I think about it, it's actually a bit stupid.
"Secondly, the dignified Prince Huaiping, World Honored One, do you think they care about thirty million taels of silver?"
This is the old monk’s second question.
This is also what Xu Qingxiao thought of just now.
indeed.
The dignified Prince Huaiping, no matter how poor he is, would never do such a thing.
Thirty million taels of silver is certainly a lot.
But what about actually?
How much money did the merchants provide these princes every year?
More than 30 million taels is too much, but it is definitely not worth the risk for a county king, especially the death of three million people. Once this is exposed, he will die or die.
It turns out that there was something else hidden.
"Third, three million people died, where did those resentful souls go?"
The old monk said the third point.
The above three points can all prove one thing, that is, the matter in Pingqiu Mansion is definitely not as simple as imagined.
However, Xu Qingxiao did not interrupt the other party's words, but listened patiently.
"Someone is performing a blood sacrifice, using the most vicious method from ancient times, to sacrifice three million innocent people in the Wei Dynasty to achieve one goal."
He spoke slowly and told the truth.
"has a problem."
"Are they not afraid of the retaliation of the Wei Dynasty by doing this? With three million people, not to mention the Wei Dynasty, even the righteous monks in the world will not let them go."
Xu Qingxiao immediately spoke out. It wasn't that he didn't believe it, but that he thought it was a bit exaggerated.
When it comes to blood sacrifice, it is impossible for the righteous people in the world to remain unmoved. When the three major dynasties, plus the Immortal Sect and the Buddhist Sect, gather together, no one will have the courage to challenge the world's heroes.
However, the other party shook his head and spoke.
"Donor Xu is still wrong."
"This is not the first time they have taken action against these three million innocent people."
The ancestor of Xiaoleiyin Temple opened his mouth and gave an answer.
Not the first time?
In an instant, Xu Qingxiao understood.
"The Northern Expedition was the first time."
"So Pingqiu Mansion, at a critical moment, lacks millions of resentful souls, so it would rather bear huge pressure to set up this trap?"
Xu Qingxiao thought of it, so she spoke up and said this.
"kindness."
"During the Northern Expedition, a large number of resentful souls have been collected, but some are still lacking, which is why the Pingqiu Mansion Rebellion occurred."
The old monk nodded.
"But why haven't there been any disasters after so many years?"
Xu Qingxiao asked in confusion.
"not enough."
"They want to resurrect the three legendary evil gods, but these are still not enough."
"Didn't the World Honored One notice it? Someone has been secretly provoking war."
"The vassal states of the Wei Dynasty, the barbarian states, and the current Chu Yuan Dynasty and Tuxie Dynasty, these things all have their shadow."
He spoke out and woke up Xu Qingxiao with one sentence.
The Shame of Jingcheng, the Northern Expedition, the War of the Subject Countries, the Barbarian Kingdom, the Early Yuan Dynasty, and the Tuxie Dynasty.
It was difficult for Xu Qingxiao to connect all these things together, but now after listening to it, these seemingly unrelated things can indeed be connected together.
The shame of Jingcheng, in everyone's eyes, was thought to be the barbarian country's inflated confidence and attempt to invade the Wei Dynasty. But on the other hand, the Wei Dynasty had a first-class warrior, and the barbarian country knew it, so it was absolutely impossible to invade the Wei Dynasty in this war.
At most, Da Wei will suffer a big loss.
And if you do this, once the Wei Dynasty recovers, the barbarian country will also be damaged.
During the Northern Expedition, people all over the world thought it was a counterattack by the Wei Dynasty. Even Xu Qingxiao thought it was a counterattack. But the problem is that the seven Northern Expeditions of the Wei Dynasty were fought too fiercely. This shows that this is a game. The Wei Dynasty may really want to counterattack at the beginning.
.
But Wei's counterattack later became a little different. Emperor Wu must have known something, and it was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
Xu Qingxiao didn't think much about the battle of the vassal states at first. Now that he thinks about it, the vassal states were provoked. But the problem is that it is a bit unusual for the vassal states to dare to show their swords against the Wei Dynasty. Even if the Chu Yuan Dynasty and the Tuxie Dynasty promised
No matter how many benefits you get, I'm afraid they won't agree.
Furthermore, it was still the Barbarian Kingdom. They had been recuperating for decades and came to the Wei Dynasty in such a hurry. It cannot be said that they were bewitched by this group of people, but the Chu Yuan Dynasty and the Tuxie Dynasty did not deceive the Barbarian Kingdom.
For a moment, Xu Qingxiao was speechless.
This organization is really scary.
He played tricks on the world's forces and deceived them into being like this.
"Who are these people?"
"Is it related to the Immortal Corpse of Wei Dynasty?"
Xu Qingxiao asked, while pulling out the corpse of the Great Wei Immortal.
"It has nothing to do with the Great Wei Immortal Corpse."
"The poor monk has discussed with Emperor Wu and several benefactors. There are not many people in this force, but everyone is a person of extremely high status."
"There is one in the Wei Dynasty, two in Confucianism and Taoism, one in Buddhism, and one in Immortal Sect, a total of five people."
he replied.
"Is it also included in the Immortal Sect and the Buddhist Sect?"
Xu Qingxiao frowned, this was something he didn't expect.
"Well, but the strong men from the Immortal Sect and the Buddhist Sect have died, and the Buddhist people have passed away. This poor monk is sure of this, but it's hard to say about the Immortal Sect."
The Zhengxin Divine Monk gave the answer.
"Xianmen?"
"what is it call?"
Xu Qingxiao asked.
"It is suspected that Yunyou Zhenren, Jiazi became an immortal, but he is not one of the seven immortal sects, and his origin is somewhat unknown. He is also one of the participants, but there is no news about him later."
The Zhengxin Divine Monk revealed this person’s name.
"What about the other people? Who is Da Wei?"
Xu Qingxiao continued to ask.
"I don't know. At first, the poor monk guessed that it was Prince Huaining, but later I thought it was not the case. He was probably just a chess piece."
"This person hides too deeply."
Zhengxin replied.
"Not Prince Huaining."
Xu Qingxiao answered directly.
"Well, he's not Prince Huaining, but he's almost there."
The righteous monk spoke up.
"What about Confucianism and Taoism?"
"Are they two saints?"
Xu Qingxiao asked.
However, the Zhengxin Divine Monk shook his head and said.
"Xianmen, Buddhism, Wei Dynasty, and even a poor monk can all guess a thing or two, but only Confucian and Taoist people, a poor monk can't guess it."
"Maybe he is a saint, but maybe he is not a saint."
The Zhengxin Divine Monk spoke slowly. He did not directly identify him as a saint, but he could not provide evidence to say that he was not a saint.
"Master, there are some things you may not know."
Xu Qingxiao opened his mouth and told the other party all the news he had obtained.
It's not that you trust the other party, but that you let the other party analyze it.
Less than half an hour later.
Xu Qingxiao explained all the ins and outs.
The latter fell silent immediately.
He thought for a long time.
After a while, he continued to speak.
"If that's the case, they should be two saints."
"But, the poor monk doesn't quite believe it."
Zhengxin Divine Monk's answer was beyond Xu Qingxiao's expectations.
"Why?"
Xu Qingxiao was a little curious.
How can you still have some doubts when there is irrefutable evidence?
"World Honored One, no one in this world can live for such a long time, especially saints. They carry the destiny of heaven, and heaven and earth will not allow them to live for such a long time."
"Even if they really lived for such a long time, they would not do this. Saints are different. Every saint has his own thoughts and will not be hindered by others."
"World Honored One, this poor monk wants to ask you, if half of the people in the world can be buried to make you a saint, are you willing?"
The Zhengxin Divine Monk explained why he objected.
As soon as he said this, Xu Qingxiao fell silent.
Let half the people in the world die in exchange for your own holy status.
Xu Qingxiao might not be able to do it.
This is not the Holy Mother's heart, but a matter of three views. This is the foundation of human nature. No one is a vicious devil. People have evil thoughts because good thoughts cannot be realized.
Not inherently evil.
In particular, Xu Qingxiao has been studying for several years and has understood many principles.
He couldn't make such a choice.
Seeing Xu Qingxiao hesitate and remain silent.
The Zhengxin Divine Monk put his hands together and said.
"World Honored One, you already have the answer in your mind, so I don't need this humble monk to say more."
"But the poor monk can't guarantee whether it is right. After all, people may have some evil thoughts in their old age. After all, everyone wants to live forever."
"It's just that there are some people who will achieve great enlightenment in life and death, but they are pitiful. However, there are only a few saints throughout the ages."
"Actually, in the final analysis, what is the meaning of immortality? Friends around me are getting old one by one, and the world has withered. Thousands of years later, things have changed and people have changed. Does this make sense?"
The Zhengxin Divine Monk has a thorough understanding of life and death. He was cursed decades ago and his life has come to an end. He has survived until now with just one breath, just to wait for Xu Qingxiao's arrival.
In the past few decades, he has also understood many things and has special insights into life and death.
Xu Qingxiao was also thinking seriously.
Because think about it carefully.
Those who can become saints are the best among men.
Saints are not powerful in their realm.
It's about the strength of the mind and soul. For ordinary people, if it may make them live forever, they will do whatever it takes.
But for saints, this is not necessarily the case.
However, I can't be sure whether it is true or not, and neither can the Zhengxin Divine Monk.
I can only let it go for the time being and not dwell on this matter.
"Thank you, Master, for the teaching."
Soon, Xu Qingxiao spoke respectfully, and then continued to ask.
"The late Emperor asked me to come here because he had something to explain. May I ask Master, what is it?"
Xu Qingxiao felt a little emotional, and at the same time asked about the main thing.
In the tomb of Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu said that he left some information in Xiaoleiyin Temple and came here just for this matter.
"Emperor Wu has left something to say. Donor, please listen."
"Emperor Wu expected that in future generations someone would search for the Immortal Treasure of Central Continent, but the Immortal Treasure is filled with many strange and unknown things. If you want to protect yourself, bring the Immortal Corpse with you."
The Zhengxin Divine Monk said this.
"Bring the immortal corpse?"
Xu Qingxiao frowned, he did not expect this to be what Emperor Wu left.
"Well, take the immortal corpse and go to Zhongzhou Immortal Cang."
"However, I don't think it's necessary."
The Zhengxin Divine Monk nodded and said something intriguing at the same time.
"Why?"
Xu Qingxiao continued to ask.
"The Emperor Wu asked the World Honored One to bring the Immortal Corpse, perhaps because the Immortal Corpse can suppress the mysterious power of the Central Continent's Immortals. However, when Emperor Wu was looking for the poor monk, there was an aura similar to yours in his body."
"It is even said that the aura in the World Honored One's body is stronger and more terrifying than that of Emperor Wu."
The Zhengxin Divine Monk looked at Xu Qingxiao and mentioned this key information.
"Is it this one?"
Xu Qingxiao condensed the three demon seals.
"Well, this is it. When Emperor Wu returned from Central Continent's Immortal Palace, he had this aura in his body, but it was not so strong. The Immortal Corpse can suppress this aura."
"That's why Emperor Wu told the World Honored One to bring the Immortal Corpse. However, since the World Honored One has such a mark and can suppress it, I don't think coming to Zhongzhou Immortal Treasure will have any impact on the World Honored One."
He spoke slowly.
Said seriously.
"Understood."
"Master, I have one last question, when will they take action?"
Xu Qingxiao asked the last question.
This group of people has been planning since the Northern Expedition, and has carried out a large number of blood sacrifices. It should be almost done by now, but they don't know the specific time.
"As expected, the Great War in Central Continent will be the time when their plan succeeds."
"So, all this still depends on the World Honored One. If we don't fight, we can suppress the unrest. Although the Chu Yuan Dynasty and the Tuxie Dynasty are eyeing the Wei Dynasty, they don't want this to happen."
"But if the Wei dynasty becomes stronger and stronger, the two dynasties will probably fight to the death."
"At that time, there will be another big chaos."
The Zhengxin Divine Monk gave a simple analysis.
In other words, Xu Qingxiao has the final say whether the world is in chaos or not.
Nowadays, the emergence of the Shenwu Cannon in the Wei Dynasty has put real pressure on the two dynasties. If the Wei Dynasty is willing to negotiate peace and give up the Shenwu Cannon, they can choose to develop peacefully.
But if the Wei Dynasty is not willing, the two dynasties are not stupid and will not sit still and wait for death.
Death sooner or later will mean death. It is better to give it a try. Even if you are not good, it will not make Wei become stronger.
From a national perspective, there is nothing we can do about it.
The topic comes back here.
At this moment, Xu Qingxiao knew that this was another desperate situation.
It's a dead end.
If you advance, the world will be in chaos and there will be more powerful enemies.
Retreat, everything is just a wedding dress for others. Although Wei can also gain an advantage, no one can predict the future. There may be another fight that day.
If you want to solve this problem, you still have to see if Zhongzhou Xianzang has the best spiritual gold.
If there are, and there are a lot of them, then there is no need to worry about these things.
But if not, it would be troublesome.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but stand up and bowed to the Zhengxin Divine Monk.
"Thank you, Master."
"This junior will help the master extend his life for ten years without getting anything in return."
Speaking of which.
The three demon seals were condensed in his palm, and the next moment all the demonic energy in the latter's body poured into Xu Qingxiao's body.
For a moment, Zhengxin Shen Monk was a little surprised.
"World Honored One, there's no need for this. I don't want to live longer, so don't harm the World Honored One."
The Zhengxin Divine Monk spoke, he had been sitting there for ten years, he had already seen through life and death, and no longer cared about life and death.
"For me, it's just a matter of effort."
"Moreover, the world may be in chaos. If the master dies, I don't know how many people will die in this turmoil."
"This junior is saving the world."
Xu Qingxiao opened her mouth, but her words silenced the Zhengxin monk.
"Amitabha."
"On behalf of all the people in the world, I would like to thank the World Honored One."
The Zhengxin Divine Monk did not refuse, but released his demonic energy.
A quarter of an hour later.
All the demonic energy in his body disappeared and was refined by Xu Qingxiao. At the same time, Xu Qingxiao injected a Martial Emperor's energy to reshape the opponent's body.
"Master, I will take my leave first. The Mahayana Buddhism requires a lot of help from my seniors. If this method can be passed down, it will increase the chance of winning."
Xu Qingxiao left these words and then left directly.
Came quickly and left quickly.
"Respect and obey the law."
The Zhengxin Divine Monk clasped his hands together and then slowly repaired his physical body.
next moment.
Outside Xiaoleiyin Temple.
Xu Qingxiao's eyes couldn't help but fall on Tianzhu Temple.
He was somewhat silent.
It seems that I am thinking about whether to go to Tianzhu Temple.
But in the end, he did not go to Tianzhu Temple, but disappeared into the vast mountains of Xizhou.
Among the mountains and rivers.
Xu Qingxiao took out the map of Zhongzhou Xianzang.
As Emperor Wu's power poured into the map, a light spot flashed on the huge map.
Watch carefully.
It is the junction of Zhongzhou and Dongzhou.
This is the place where the immortals of Zhongzhou are hidden.
In an instant.
Xu Qingxiao crossed thousands of miles in one step and rushed towards Zhongzhou Xianzang.
But before leaving, Xu Qingxiao wrote a letter from heaven, telling the empress that before she returned to the Wei Dynasty, she should not fall out with the two dynasties no matter what.
You can be tolerant, but you must not fall out. We can wait until you come back to talk about everything.
Since he knew the purpose of this group of people, Xu Qingxiao could not let them succeed like this.
If you are really unlucky and die in Zhongzhou Immortal Treasure, at worst, you can give up the Shenwu Cannon. As long as you don't give up the first grade, you give up the other two grades, in exchange for more benefits.
It can ensure the stable development of Wei Dynasty for hundreds of years.
Now, the Wei Dynasty has swept away all enemies, and if it is managed well, it will not be any worse.
Even if someone in the dark wants to cause trouble, the three major dynasties will not agree, and the Tuxie Dynasty and the Chuyuan Dynasty are not stupid either.
An hour later.
A barren mountain.
The red earth here is endless, and the brown earth seems to be stained with countless blood.
Take out the map.
At that moment, the entire map turned into a token and disappeared into the mountains and rivers.
And the Dragon Cauldron of Central Continent appeared.
Spiritual energy gathers from all directions.
Finally, a glazed door appeared.
After crossing this door, you can learn the secret of Zhongzhou Xianzang.
Without any hesitation.
Xu Qingxiao crossed over in one step and disappeared behind the Immortal Gate.
