Chapter 464 Alliance Pattern, Twenty Years of Retreat
Song Lin held the dragon-headed Celestial Master Seal and stood in front of the Tongtian Dharma Altar.
"Burn incense to pray for the good luck of the day, the heaven and the earth will be opened, build a high platform, and burn the incense to pray for the first king of the Yuan Dynasty..."
Everyone looked serious and worshiped following the movements of the high priest.
"We have reported to heaven to request that the Xuanmen of Heaven and Earth be renamed Donghua Taoist League."
"The great sun rises in the east and shines brightly on all souls."
"I will obey the Heavenly Master's imperial edict!"
Everyone bowed and worshiped.
This is Donghua’s true interpretation.
Changing the name of the Dao League is very troublesome. Every place needs to be corrected. The prayer words, place names, plaques, etc. all need to be modified.
Donghua Daomeng currently has a large territory, totaling more than 40 million square kilometers, and the transformation of the territory will take a lot of time.
Next comes the complex and cumbersome link of official titles and rewards, but I didn’t put much thought into this link.
After all, the two Taoist alliances are about to be merged. There is no need for additional officials. It is only necessary to divide the jurisdiction of the first ones, and then let them choose the remaining ones.
There are also pensions for those who died in battle, and edicts from the underworld.
Living people are managed by Shi Yinhua, and dead people are managed by Yuan Bo. This is the rule of Donghua Taoist League.
"Tianshi, I may have to retreat when I go back. I seem to have sensed the opportunity of the soul. Maybe I will be the soul next time I come out of retreat."
Yuan Bo is the lord of all Yin gods and earth. Under him are the Lord of Lu Mingyang City, the Lord of Xiao Xuan Mountain, the Lord of Yin Pei Yu, and the Lord of Tiansha Water.
Monks like them who have undergone Taiyin refining cannot practice on their own and need to be driven by external objects. The improvement of external objects will also increase their strength.
Now that the territory has expanded so much, and Song Lin has handed over the power of the mountains and rivers of the two Taoist alliances to Yuan Bo, it is not surprising that his strength has reached the level of Yuanshen. After all, he was a Thunder Tribulation Dzogchen monk during his lifetime.
After that, there are the rituals, teachings and so on.
The people of Xuanzong's Shangqing Taoist League were sitting there and no one paid attention to them, and the Qingchen Heavenly Master was also able to keep his composure.
From the incident just now, we can see Song Lin's character. This person is definitely the type who takes soft things rather than hard ones.
A tough attitude will only make him tougher. The corpses of the monsters hanging at the door are examples.
Qingchen came to discuss matters and did not want to conflict with Song Lin.
Soon, the conference ended.
Song Lin took the Dragon Head Celestial Master Seal to the Lingbao Celestial Master and said, "Tianji, I will leave this to you, don't feel any pressure."
Lingbao Celestial Master was only one step away from being able to join the path, and Song Lin was too lazy to try to get stuck in his realm.
"Thank you, Heavenly Master."
Master Lingbao carefully took over the treasure, feeling very excited in his heart. The state that had been stagnant for thousands of years was about to break through the shackles today.
The meeting ended and everyone left one by one.
Today is not a big event, it is just a process. Everyone knows in advance. What is more unexpected is the death of Chi Wujie and the demon messenger, which is more exciting.
The bustling Xuanyu City suddenly became empty.
"I'll take Qingchen to the meeting hall at the back later."
Song Lin ordered everyone.
"Report! Someone is visiting."
"who?"
"He is a master. He calls himself the King of Zhou. He says he has important matters to discuss with the Heavenly Master."
Song Lin was a little surprised. There was only one Zhou king, and that was the descendant of the previous dynasty. When the Wu Kingdom was first established, in order to show its magnanimity, an unknown bloodline from the previous dynasty was found and made a king.
Legend has it that the King of Zhou is quite mysterious, and now he actually dares to come over on his own initiative. It seems that this man has an unusual secret.
Song Lin arranged some affairs before heading to the meeting hall.
As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw a noble man in python robe chatting with Tianshi Qingchen.
"I never expected that the legendary incompetent and mediocre King Zhou was actually a Yuanshen monk, haha."
Master Qingchen smiled heartily.
The noble young man in python robes with sword-browed eyebrows and star-like eyes opposite him turned out to be the King of Zhou.
Seeing Song Lin coming, everyone stood up to say hello.
"Donghua Celestial Master!"
"Donghua Celestial Master, I have admired you for a long time. I am Yang Xiao, the king of Zhou." Yang Xiao cupped his hands and said with a smile, "No, I am not the king now, and my territory is gone, haha."
"Yang Xiao?"
The moment Song Lin saw Yang Xiao, he recognized who this guy was.
When he escorted Wu Yi to Beijing to be crowned king, Song Lin once saw Yang Xiao standing with a woman in the woods. At that time, he thought this guy was mysterious, and he didn't expect that he was also a Yuanshen monk.
"So, who are you from Wu Yi?"
Wu Yi's mother Yang Su is a descendant of the Zhou royal family and should be related to the person in front of me. If you look carefully, Wu Yi and Yang Xiao are somewhat similar.
"Wu Yi... should be considered my nephew. I used to practice in seclusion, leaving my sister unattended. Now I can escape and help Wu Yi's career."
Yang Xiao smiled.
"That's it, welcome."
Song Lin ignored this incident. Since the person came to seek refuge, he also showed a kind attitude. As for identifying the authenticity of this person, he left it to the middle prince and others.
"Fellow Taoist Donghua, I came here mainly to discuss alliance matters." Tianshi Qingchen spoke first.
"What kind of cooperation law?"
Song Lin was a little curious.
He secretly examined the former leading Celestial Master. He was sharp-edged and had a rather arrogant look on his face. This should be because he had been in a high position for a long time.
"The two families are an alliance of brothers and manage each other separately. However, they must work together to fight against the demon clan, including border defense."
"I suggest that two Hedao weapons be sent to the border of Xuanzong's Shangqing Taoist League to guard. Don't engage in a dispute of morals. Friends of the Taoist should be able to understand the truth of the death of lips and teeth."
"Then what do you pay?"
"Half and half."
"Then I am at a loss? I'm sorry, you should go back."
Song Lin saw off the guests on the spot.
Perhaps this person really looks down on himself and is still playing tricks on his own territory.
What is half and half?
Half of what they are capable of? Or they will pay as much as Donghua Taoist League pays.
The latter is acceptable to oneself, but there is no need to say anything about the former.
Moreover, this guy has a criminal record. Don't let your own people take the lead when the time comes, and you can secretly hide in the back and develop with peace of mind. How can this guy get what he wants?
"etc!"
After much wrangling between the two parties, a simple version of the agreement was finally reached.
The two sides divided the border, and Xuanzong's Shangqing Taoist Alliance guarded the northwest to resist the Yujue Demon Kingdom.
The Donghua Taoist Alliance dispatched a Hedao Weapon, two Yuanshen, and several Tribulation Purple Mansion Wheels to station.
Donghua is responsible for the management of the residence, and all necessary needs are borne by the Xuanzong Shangqing Taoist League.
In return, Donghua Dao League's defense does not require their participation. In fact, it is to prevent these people from causing trouble.
The Dao League now needs time to digest its territory.
The agreement was reached and Qingchen returned home; Yang Xiao lived in Xia Jing.
The news that the demon envoy was killed caused an uproar, and after several consecutive waves of offensives failed to produce any results, they gave up.
The world structure has also been set.
The original Wu Kingdom area: Donghua Taoist League in the south, Xuanzong Shangqing Taoist League in the northwest, and Jiuxiao Demon Kingdom in the northeast. The forces in other places remain unchanged.
In addition, there are Turtle Clan patrolling the sea, and now the border is temporarily stable.
Everyone gained valuable training time.
Song Lin was able to take some time to retreat, and did not rush to open up the world. With the insights from the previous world, he retreated first to see if he could enter the third level of enlightenment, or even the fourth level of enlightenment.
"I will be in seclusion for a period of time. Wait..."
Song Lin summoned everyone to announce the retreat.
As time goes by, the two clans of demons and humans are peaceful on the surface, but there are undercurrents surging inside, and they both want to give each other a hard blow.
There is no time to cultivate immortality, twenty years have passed.
