"Things in the world are not black and white, and positions are not just either right or wrong."
Zhang Liang put on a warm and gentle smile and said softly, "The people left behind by Lord Changping may not be of the same mind as Lord Changping."
"What's more, they may not be the people left by Lord Changping. They are most likely just the 'remnants' who once belonged to Lord Changping and were not wiped out by the empire."
"With so many coincidences, it's hard to say there are no problems."
"The true stance of the peasant family, the true stance of Changping Jun's remaining tribe, and the true relationship between the two parties... are difficult to say."
Zhang Liang's analysis made Master Ban and others feel slightly relaxed and tense again.
Based on this analysis, the problem is still huge.
Zhang Liang smiled and said nothing.
Of course he wanted to help 'Tian Yan', but he had to pay attention to methods.
The people of the Mohist family are just a bit stubborn, and most of them have no problem with their brains. Even if Zhang Liang doesn't say these things, they can get a taste of it after discussing it themselves.
When the time comes, we will still be on guard when we need to be on guard.
What Zhang Liang wants to do is similar to 'Tian Yan', in the final analysis it is to divert attention.
As long as they ignore the truly non-negotiable parts and focus only on the parts that can be compromised and tolerated, they will naturally compromise.
The ones who cannot make concessions are naturally the peasants, or the remnants of Changping Jun and Luo Sheng, who have connections with the empire.
This kind of risk is something that the Mohists are unwilling and unable to take.
But if the peasant family or the remnants of Changping Jun only have their own plans, even if they may endanger the interests and safety of the Mohist family, Master Ban and the others can tolerate it for the time being in the face of the Qinglong Plan.
In short, if we cannot completely dispel the concerns of Master Ben and others, we will transfer their concerns to irrelevant aspects.
Zhang Liang's words also successfully diverted the attention of Master Ban and others to the small thoughts of the farmers and the remnants of Changping Jun. As for the possibility of collusion between these two forces and the net, they were basically ignored.
After some discussion, Master Ban made the final decision:
"Go back and negotiate with the remaining members of Lord Changping personally. If there are no major problems, this matter... will end here!"
No matter what benefits they plan to gain from the Mohist family, as long as these people can target the emperor and the empire just like the Mohist family from the perspective of the Qinglong Project, Master Ban and the others will admit it.
Everything is given priority to the Qinglong Plan.
………………
Guanzhong, Taiyi Mountain, Guanmiao Terrace.
As the two sect leaders drew their swords, the sword debate between heaven and man officially began.
Xiaoyaozi maintained that he was his elder brother and did not attack first, but just waited for Xiaomeng to make the first move.
Of course Xiaomeng would not be polite, but she did not move. She put the two fingers of her left hand together and lightly brushed Qiuli.
The vigorous and upright Qi burst out, and then turned to a cold and murderous Qi. The space around Xiao Meng began to lose its color, and the movement of all objects became extremely slow.
The secret technique of Taoist Tianzong - the sky and the earth are eclipsed!
The spread speed of the gray and colorless space increased rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it occupied half of the Guanmiao Tower, and it only took one more breath to encompass the entire stage.
Seeing this, Xiaoyaozi couldn't sit still and wait for death. The fingers of his hands changed and formed seals, and snowflakes floated in the void in front of him.
As Xiaoyaozi's true energy continued to pour in, streams of golden light shimmered and rippled out from the snow, covering the space around Xiaoyaozi with a layer of illusory and thin golden light.
Taoist secret technique - rejuvenation of all things.
These rays of light quickly spread out in all directions, just like the sky and the earth in Xiao Meng were eclipsed, and soon collided with the colorless space.
The colorless space and the shining golden light competed with each other, each occupying half of the viewing platform, and they collided fiercely.
In the gray and colorless sky, countless fragments of sword energy melted like wind and waves constantly flowing and sweeping, and in the dazzling golden light, the same scene was seen.
Along the central boundary line of the Guanmiao Platform, the two sides continued to intertwine, collide and dissipate.
The two majestic qi collided, setting off huge waves of wind and waves, blowing towards the viewing platform.
People outside the Guanmiao Tower were caught off guard, and many were staggered.
The protective barriers put up by the elders of the Heavenly and Human sects are not omnipotent, and this kind of invisible and qualityless air wave is not very effective.
However, if there are any stones or gravel blown up by the wind, they can be stopped.
The two of them did not choose to fight with real swords and guns at the beginning, but first competed with each other in terms of internal strength.
Outside the viewing platform, all the spectators who were used to staying steady in the wind and waves couldn't help but marvel when they saw this scene.
Each of them can be considered a well-known big shot in the world, but in terms of strength, there is still a huge difference between them compared to the heads of the two sects of Heaven and Human.
This internal skill cultivation alone is something that most of them will never be able to catch up with in their lifetime.
Gongsun Linglong, who deliberately stood in the most remote corner for fear of being accidentally injured, shook her mask and fan with an unhappy look on her face.
Although she hid in the farthest corner, the mountainside platform was not that big in total, and the strong wind generated by the collision of infuriating energy still caused her to stagger.
Even though he was able to stand firm now, he was still shaken by waves of air.
"This Xiaomeng, I didn't see her with such great ability in Songhai at that time!" Gongsun Linglong murmured dissatisfiedly, holding her throat.
Chu Nanggong, despite his age and leaning on a walking stick, was actually the most stable person in the room. He stroking his long beard and smiled and said:
"Last time it was a literary competition, this time it's a martial arts fight, it's different."
"And this is just the prelude... I'm sorry for my old age, but I have to stand firm."
The fact is indeed as Chu Nan Gong said, this is just the beginning, just a prelude, the real showdown has not yet come.
In the eyes of everyone in amazement, Xiaomeng had a cold face, raised Qiuli with one hand, and patted the sword grid with the other hand. A blue Tai Chi Yin Yang fish flew out of the sky, enveloping the vast sword energy in the colorless space.
, spinning and flying towards Xiaoyaozi.
Seeing this, Xiaoyaozi squeezed his hand seals, and also forced out a golden light Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish, and rolled up the sword energy that filled the sky to meet it.
Just like the gray and golden lights on the stage, the two yin-yang fish collided in the center of the Guanmiao Platform. One side was spinning forward and the other side was spinning backwards, mixed with countless fine sword energy, tearing and intertwining with each other.
The collision of the thick zhenqi set off a more violent storm again, blowing away and rolling up sand and rocks all over the sky.
The people watching the battle in the audience were naturally disgraced again, but fortunately they didn't care about it now.
It is more important to watch the battle.
The two yin-yang fish rotated faster and faster, the convolved sword energy became denser and denser, and the collision and entanglement between them became more and more intense.
The brilliance suddenly flourished, and after a harsh explosion, everything fell into nothingness in the explosion.
Whether it was Xiaomeng's sky and earth losing color, or Xiaoyaozi's rejuvenation of all things, they were all burned to the ground, turned into streams of true energy that filled the sky, and disappeared.
The violent collision of zhenqi even caused ripples in the protective barriers set up by the elders of the two sects, Heaven and Man, which made people a little worried.
However, the elders of the two sects, including the disciples of the two sects, were very calm - it was not that they were sure that the barrier would not be broken, but that they did not care.
Originally, the elders of the two sects combined could not defeat the two masters on the stage, so it was reasonable that the barrier could not hold up.
Anyway, at most it's just a bit disgraced and life-threatening, so it's not a big deal.
On the viewing platform, Xiaoyaozi raised his hand, changed his fingerprints, and said loudly:
"I haven't seen you for a while, and Junior Sister Xiaomeng's cultivation has improved again."
"You talk too much." Xiaomeng was still not polite at all. After replying coldly, she threw out her Qiuli sword and formed a seal with her hands on her chest.
Qiuli Sword flew out of his hand and turned into a stream of light and went straight to Xiaoyaozi.
This is the art of flying swords.
Only those who are proficient in the profound Taoist mental methods of Xinruo Zhishui and Wanchuan Qiushui, which respectively represent movement and stillness, can use it.
Currently, there are only two people in the world who are proficient in this method - Xiao Meng, and her teacher Bei Mingzi.
The Renzong is not good at this, they major in ordinary swordsmanship.
Xiaoyaozi faced Qiu Li, who was coming at full speed, waved his snowflakes in his hand, and rushed forward.
The flying sword looks cool and mysterious, but in fact it is not much different from the sword in your hand. It is just that the angle and direction of the force are more free, but a considerable part of the strength is sacrificed accordingly.
Moreover, wielding a sword with Qi consumes a lot of Qi.
However, when others saw this scene, especially those who saw it for the first time, they couldn't help but scream.
"Nangong, Nangong, this sword is flying!" Gongsun Linglong looked dumbfounded at Qiu Li, who was so graceful and agile in mid-air, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to tug on Chu Nangong's sleeve and said.
The well-informed sages of Chu were not surprised:
"With the strength Xiaomeng showed that day at Little Saint Xian Manor, it is not difficult for her."
"But this flying sword technique is just a trail after all. It's still just a trial. She hasn't used her full strength yet."
After all, the world of the Qin Dynasty was for martial arts, not for immortals.
The Taoist Flying Sword Art looks like a bluff, but in fact it just looks like a bluff.
In the novel, the flying sword can fly thousands of miles away and kill people in an instant, but in reality, if the flying sword can fly one mile, the operator's internal strength is extremely high.
As for what happened in a flash, that's even more nonsense.
However, the flying sword technique is not without its merits.
Although the actual combat value is average and can only be regarded as a unique swordsmanship, the visual effect is indeed outstanding and is very helpful in shaping the powerful and mysterious style of Taoism.
For example, most of the outside bystanders present were in awe of Xiaomeng's skills.
Like Gongsun Linglong, even if someone like Chu Nangong told her that flying swords was just a small way, she was still shaken by it.
Xiaoyaozi, who really faced everything on the court, was much calmer, and his free and easy movements made Renzong's swordsmanship intertwined with the fluid, elegant and agile flying swords.
Xiaomeng didn't try his best, and he didn't show his true intentions.
Until now, he still hopes that this sword debate between heaven and man can end peacefully, even if he loses this round, it doesn't matter - of course, he cannot lose intentionally, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the disciples of the Renzong.
After a moment and a half, Xiao Meng raised her hand and recalled her Qiuli Sword.
She knew very well that she couldn't defeat Xiaoyaozi with flying sword skills, but she still tried her best.
Because this is Tianzong’s unique technique.
She used this move, just like she used the eclipse of heaven and earth at the beginning, to tell everyone that the one who defeated Renzong Xiaoyaozi was the head of Tianzong!
The next moment Qiu Li took possession, Xiaomeng disappeared from the spot and reappeared in front of Xiaoyaozi, raising the Qiu Li sword high in his right hand.
Qiu Li, glowing with azure sword light, slashed straight at Xiaoyaozi's vitals with the sound of howling wind.
Now, it's time to get serious.
In the sky, Gu Xun folded his arms and hid behind the clouds, silently watching the battle below.
He finally came to watch this sword debate in person, but he came quietly alone.
As for the reason...
One is because he really cares about Xiaomeng. After all, he personally sent the cub to Tianzong.
When your kids are playing games, you have to watch them.
The second reason is because I am a little curious.
According to the relevant information collected by Zhang Han, Xiaomeng seems to intend to completely destroy the human sect so that there will no longer be a distinction between heaven and man in Taoism.
Gu Xun thought about how to do this, and there seemed to be only one way.
That is killing.
As long as Xiaomeng kills Xiaoyaozi in a fair and just way on the sword of heaven and man, and then kills the remaining masters of the human sect, he can forcibly erase the separation between heaven and man.
The two sects of heaven and man have been divided for hundreds of years. Since the death of Zhuang Zhou, the last sage of Taoism, the gap between the two sects has continued to widen and deepen.
Although the two sects did not become direct mortal enemies like the Yin Yang family and maintained a peaceful relationship, in fact they had completely broken apart.
It's impossible for Xiaomeng to have the ability to bridge the rift between the two families - she doesn't have the patience either.
The only way, and the quickest way, is to do it.
However, the difficulty with this method is that Xiaomeng may not be able to beat Xiaoyaozi.
In terms of internal strength cultivation, especially the ability to control the true energy, Xiaomeng is definitely not inferior to, or even completely surpasses Xiaoyaozi.
But strength is not entirely determined by internal strength, actual combat experience, swordsmanship and moves... these are all critical influencing factors.
From Gu Xun's point of view, Xiaomeng's strength may be able to compete with Xiaoyaozi, but it will not be easy to win, let alone kill him.
So what does this girl want to do?
………………
On the outskirts of Songhai City, the Mohist stronghold.
Tianming, who has nothing to do and is full of energy, is sparring with Shaoyu.
Nowadays, Tianming is no longer as ignorant of sword moves as in the past, and can only use the sword to perform the sword-fighting technique in a nondescript manner.
Cutting, hanging, pointing, picking, stabbing, teasing, splitting...all the basic sword moves are already at your fingertips. You are extremely proficient, and you can already vaguely see the charm of the vertical swordsmanship used by Gai Nie.
It just looks awkward to have a broken sword in my hand.
And Shao Yu, who was sparring with him, was also different from the past.
The formation-breaking Overlord Spear obtained from the Mo family's forbidden area in his hand is more skillful than before. His moves are vigorous and continuous, and his power seems to be endless.
It has to be said that this old guy Yun Zhongjun is really good at partial science, and his attainments in alchemy are already unparalleled in the world.
A real-life pill and a few ghost-control pills directly brought Shao Yu, whose mediocre martial arts skills depended solely on his divine power, to the level of a top master.
Unfortunately, the path to elixirs is ultimately a side path, not the main path.
His elixirs are of no use to people who can take them casually, but people who can benefit greatly from taking them cannot take them casually.
Only Shao Yu's special physique can create one.
Even so, this medicine only tapped into Shao Yu's talent in advance, rather than increasing his strength out of thin air.
If it were a person with insufficient potential, even if everything was fine after taking the medicine, the improvement in strength would be minimal.
