Chapter Seven: Recalling Lanque’s Heart to Zhong (Third Update)
Dawn Dream Territory.
The biggest feature of the entire territory where Zhuangzi's Taoist temple is located is the endless butterflies, or it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the holy land of the butterfly tribe.
During this time, countless powerful people gathered from all over the world and came to the Xiaomeng territory to listen to Zhuangzi's sermons.
Zhuangzi is called the person closest to a saint by people in the world. This is not a kind of praise, but it is true. Rumor has it that heaven and earth had already placed the holy throne in front of Zhuangzi. It was only for Zhuangzi to receive the gift from heaven.
Unfortunately, what puzzled the world was that Zhuangzi actually declined the gift of heaven and earth at that time.
He bowed three times to heaven and earth, and at this point, heaven and earth took back the reward.
No one understands why? Even the saints in the world, most of them don’t understand why. However, the saints have never underestimated Zhuangzi because everyone knows that Zhuangzi is qualified to become a saint.
Perhaps the holy throne of a certain saint should have originally belonged to Zhuangzi.
No one knows how strong Zhuangzi is, but it is certain that he is above the ninth level of the Ancestral Immortal Heaven.
Zhuangzi seemed to be following the example of Hongjun when he opened the forum to preach. He preached not the way of heaven but the way of the heart. Therefore, many people benefited a lot.
When Zhuangzi gave a sermon, almost all the people who were invited came here, and those who were not invited, because Zhuangzi did not reject him, went to the Xiaomeng territory one after another.
The center of Xiaomeng territory is the Zhuangzi Taoist Temple, surrounded by a sea of flowers and butterflies.
On top of a main peak, there are thousands of rays of light. But what is surprising is that there is no sea of clouds of merit or luck in the sky, just rays of light rising into the sky. The rays of light come out of the Xiaomeng Hall on the main peak, which is also where Zhuangzi Taoist Temple is located.
Under the main peak, countless strong men have gathered. Countless strong men each found a place, sat cross-legged, and waited quietly for Zhuangzi to speak.
On the surrounding secondary peaks, there are distinguished guests invited by Zhuangzi.
Among them, Zhong Shan and his party have arrived in a main hall on Kunpeng Peak in the southeast.
In the main hall, there was a handsome man in green clothes standing in front of Zhong Shan. The man was holding a folding fan and looked at Zhong Shan with slight joy. Behind him stood two servants, their expressions unmoving.
"The Patriarch also said that King Zhong Sheng would not come. Now I must regret what he said at that time. I also made a bet with all my senior brothers. If King Zhong Sheng can come, I can win the bet. Thank you very much, Lan Que!" the handsome man in green clothes said with a smile.
This person is Yilanque whom Xiaoqianshijie met back then.
Zhong Shan looked at Yi Lan Que. Speaking of which, Zhong Shan was also filled with doubts. Judging from Yi Lan Que's tone, Yi Lan Que didn't seem to be in awe of Zhuang Zi.
"Friend Yi Dao is so polite. It's not a big deal for Zhong Shan to come to listen to the sermon. It's time for Friends Yi Dao to bother!" Zhong Shan said immediately.
"I can't talk about it. It would be best if you could come. The battle in Lingxiao Heavenly Court was really exciting, but it's a pity that I don't have the opportunity to see it." Yi Lanque said regretfully.
"Recalling the aid that Daoist friends gave to Da'ao back then, I, Zhongshan, still remember that as long as it does not exceed my principles, no matter what difficulties my fellow Taoists face, I, Zhongshan, will naturally go all out!" Zhongshan said.
"Oh, then if I want to join Da'ao, can King Zhong Sheng do it?" Yi Lanque stared at Zhong Shan and said with a smile.
Joining Da'ao? Zhongshan's expression changed slightly. What does Yilanque mean? Is it his personal intention or Zhuangzi's?
"Hahaha, if fellow Yi Dao can join Da'ao, Da'ao will definitely add another helping hand. Zhong Shan can only ask for it." Zhong Shan said.
These are Zhong Shan's true words, and they are also Zhong Shan's test words. Zhong Shan has already learned about the power of Yi Lan Que, and his methods have already reached the level of moisturizing things silently. If he can sincerely join Da'ao, Zhong Shan will naturally want it.
However, with Zhuangzi in the middle, everything becomes mysterious. And Zhongshan naturally agrees. Whether it succeeds or not, Zhongshan will not suffer any loss. Besides, it can also be tested indirectly.
"Ahem!" "Ahem!"
The two servants behind Yi Lanque suddenly coughed, as if they were trying to stop Yi Lanque from speaking.
However, Yi Lanque didn't care. He looked at Zhong Shan and said: "With a word from King Zhong, Lan Que has fulfilled his wish. The master's sermon is about to begin. Lan Que will not disturb him for the time being. He will wait for the master's sermon.
It’s over, let’s harass King Zhong Sheng again!”
Recalling Lanque is enough, so I won’t mention it again.
"Okay, Zhong Shan is waiting for you at any time!" Zhong Shan nodded.
"Farewell!"
Yi Lanque walked away with two servants.
Zhong Shan looked at Yi Lanque's back and took a deep breath. This Yi Lanque was indeed smooth in dealing with things. He agreed without hesitation. However, he neither shied away nor continued the conversation. Instead, he immediately stayed away after receiving an answer.
Escape. You are very scheming!
"Holy King, what does Yilanque mean?" Jin Peng asked confused.
"We'll wait and see what happens, but it would be great if this person could be used by Da'ao!" Zhong Shan affirmed.
"Yes!" Everyone responded, but no one said anything more, because everyone could see that the Holy King was interested in this talent.
Everyone was sitting in the main hall, waiting for Zhuangzi to give a sermon.
But Yi Lanque left quickly with two servants.
Soon, everyone came to a courtyard isolated by formations.
"Quer, what do you mean? Are you testing Zhong Shan?" One of the 'servants' frowned.
"Yes, Que'er, why did you say that just now?" Another 'servant' also frowned.
"Ancestor, father, how about I show you Zhongshan today?" Yi Lanque asked without answering.
"How? What can be done? It's still the same Zhong Shan as before. I know him, but he doesn't know me!" Yi Lanque's father said unhappily.
"Ancestor? Haha, I am no longer an ancestor. In the wide world, there are many seniors in my family, and they are the ancestors!" said another person.
"Ancestor, no matter what, you are the ancestor from the Little Thousand World, and I still recognize you, because in the Little Thousand World, Yijia only listens to my arrangements because of you!" Yi Lanque said.
"That's because you have that ability." The ancestor shook his head and said.
"No, because you are a person who knows people, and your ability to know people is better than mine. If I were in your position, it would be impossible for me to listen to a junior." Yi Lanque shook his head and said.
"That's all I have!" The ancestor shook his head and smiled.
"This is enough, the family will be passed down and prospered because of you!" Yi Lanque affirmed.
"Well, since you said so, I will continue to recognize this title!" The ancestor shook his head and smiled.
"Well, as for what you just said, father, that Zhong Shan doesn't know you, that's completely wrong. The moment we entered the hall, Zhong Shan recognized you and our ancestors at a glance. It was just that we acted at that time.
The external form is unique, so Zhong Shan didn't expose it," Yi Lanque said.
"No way!" Yi Lanque's father didn't believe it.
"I'm sure!" Yi Lanque said.
"I believe what Que'er says!" the ancestor said.
"Okay!" Yi Lanque's father had no choice but to believe it.
Yi Lanque looked at his ancestors with a smile. Sure enough, having an old man in the family is like having a treasure.
"But, what did you mean by joining Da'ao before? Are you testing Zhongshan, or are you testing Zhongshan on behalf of the Patriarch?" Yi Lanque's father asked.
The ancestor also looked at Yi Lanque.
Yi Lanque's face turned serious, he took a deep breath and solemnly said: "It's not a test, Que'er does have this idea."
"Oh?" The two of them were surprised.
"Ancestor, father, let me show you something!" Yi Lanque said.
After speaking, Yi Lanque took out a stack of thick paper.
"This is what I have written down personally over the years. You all know that I have a habit of studying people. For every person who can attract my attention, I will record all his resume, strengths, and weaknesses in great detail so that I can
Used to analyze the opponent. This is Zhong Shan's resume." Yi Lanque said.
The ancestor and Yi Lanque's father immediately started to look at it. After reading each piece, their eyes were full of shock.
"What are you doing?" the two frowned.
"This Zhongshan is so perfect. No, it should be said that he was not perfect originally, but he knows how to make himself perfect, and he knows how to make Da'e perfect. Ziyang Jinghong, you saw Ziyang Jinghong's attitude just now
Is that true? As a courtesy from a monarch and his ministers, Zhongshan has obtained a usurper again. I am sure that Zhongshan’s next step is to annex the thirty-six territories of Beizhou!" Yi Lanque said with great certainty.
"Annexation? How is it possible? Thirty-six territories, he can't eat it!" Yi Lanque's father didn't believe it at all.
"I'm sure!" Yi Lanque affirmed again. His tone was full of determination.
"But...!" Yi Lanque's father also said.
"Okay, let Que'er continue talking!" The ancestor spoke again. Yi Lanque's father could only say no more, but his eyes were still full of disbelief.
"Thank you, ancestor!" Yi Lanque looked at his ancestor and said, indeed, with his pressure, his words can be more authoritative.
The ancestor smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Speaking of which, I don't believe that Zhong Shan can swallow Beizhou in one go. The territory is too large. Based on this resume, if you say that he occupied six territories and became the dominant force in Beizhou,
I may believe it, but this is too unbelievable, but I still believe you!"
"I know that what I said is unbelievable, but this is what I have calculated carefully. You also know that I, Yi Lanque, never tell lies. The founder is quiet and inactive, and he protects himself wisely. However, the situation in the world will be turbulent and this will continue.
, it is impossible to sustain it for long." Yi Lanque shook his head and said.
"Don't talk nonsense about your ancestor!" Yi Lanque's father said.
"No, father, this must be faced. We are people from Xiaoqian World. You should know that what I care about more is our family and the ancestors above. Their thoughts have been completely rigid and they believe in their ancestors infinitely.
, but we can't, I still shoulder the future of my Yi family!" Yi Lanque said firmly.
"But I still don't believe it. Is Zhongshan as good as you say?" Yi Lanque's father said.
"The news about the Ancestral Dragon Secret Realm in Dongzhou hasn't come yet. I've already asked people to go and inquire about it. Maybe there will be news in a few years. I remember that Zhong Shan should have gone to Dongzhou. Why did he go there in such a short time?
Return? Faster than everyone else? Although I don’t know what happened in Dongzhou, I am sure that Zhong Shan will have gained a lot. Moreover, if you look at Zhong Shan’s resume along the way, he certainly has some cleverness, but the most important thing is
One thing is that there is no mistake at all, it is all the most correct choice, layout, army formation, everything, it is the same. In troubled times, there is no need for some weak forces. The stronger it is, the easier it is to become the target of public criticism. If it is weak, it is easy to fly back to annihilation.
, but Da'e is just right, flawless, and only by continuing to be correct can we become the final winner!" Yi Lanque said with great determination.
"However, the ancestors will definitely not agree, and the Yi family ancestors above are even less likely to agree!" Yi Lanque's father shook his head and said.
"So, I hope that my ancestors and father will help me. This matter concerns my Yi family, and there must not be any confusion." Yi Lanque said with great determination.
