Chapter 644: It’s really hard to refuse the kindness of our brothers; there is probably a big fish
In fact, many times, it's not that the mountain gods don't want to make progress, but that the environment of the Three Realms has very obvious restrictions on them.
Another reason is that those who come to be mountain gods have average cultivation levels, and their upper limit of talent is visible to the naked eye. It is not easy to stand up and overpower the monsters in the mountain.
It's just that this situation has been alleviated in Beizhou, where demons are rampant.
This is because the newly appointed mountain gods in the mountains of Beizhou have all made great achievements in clearing poisonous obstacles with Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. Their realm and cultivation level are at the upper-middle level in the entire Three Realms.
Besides, the mountains were all cleaned up next to each other, and the restless fairies in the mountains had been dealt with immediately, so management would naturally be much easier.
But within the Tang Dynasty, the demons and spirits in the mountains were not cleaned up by the mountain gods, but the Xuanjia Army was the real force... There were even some mountain gods who had degenerated into evil cultivators, and were plowed down by the Xuanjia Army.
This is not a collision between the destiny of humanity and the priesthood of heaven. After all, when the mountain god degenerates into a demon and evil cultivator, he will no longer be blessed by the priesthood of heaven. The already limited fortune of heaven will be lost in an instant.
dissipate.
Even the fate of heaven that originally belonged to these mountain gods will be swallowed up by the fate of humanity.
The way of heaven, the way of man.
Although Lao Tzu has given a detailed explanation in the Tao Te Ching, in many cases the relationship between the two is not actually an absolute opposition, but can also be transformed into each other.
The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is excess damage. This is not the case with the way of man. If there is not enough damage, there will be more than enough.
The former says that the law of heaven is to subtract what is in surplus and supply what is in short supply; while the latter says that the rules in the human world are often to deprive what is in short supply and to feed what is in surplus.
The way of heaven is, after all, elusive and invisible... Even in many cases, even saints may not be able to dedicate their wealth to make up for those who are lacking or in need.
But the way of man can be seen everywhere in the human world.
Just like today's Tang Dynasty, the human destiny it has gathered has become the most prosperous empire in the three realms, but it is still constantly absorbing the human destiny of other countries.
Not only the luck of humanity, but also the Xuanjia Army's conquest of the monsters and spirits in the mountains, the luck of heaven must also be transformed and swallowed up by the luck of humanity.
Li Shimin was already a great king who could join the First Emperor and become an emperor throughout the ages. The entire Nanfang continent was within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but he still wanted to bring the other four continents under the control of the Tang Dynasty and move towards the eternity.
Advance towards the Holy Emperor's goal.
This is external only.
When dealing internally, especially with the people of the Tang Dynasty, what Li Shimin did was not the "way of man", but it was not completely the "way of heaven" either.
The way to govern a country cannot be summed up in just "six words". If we have to give a direction, then what the Tang Dynasty is practicing in the Three Realms today should be the way of "inner saint and outer king"
.
Although "Inner Sage and Outer King" comes from Taoism, it seems to be more in line with Confucianism... In today's Three Realms, it is not only the Jade Emperor who wants to promote the unification of the three religions, there are already preliminary signs of the merger of the three religions in the Tang Dynasty.
The fusion of ideas among the three religions will never be achieved overnight. There will be a fusion process that lasts for a long time.
But this wind has not yet reached Changbai Mountain.
Perhaps it was because Xue Rengui destroyed Goguryeo too early, and because Changbai Mountain was not an ordinary ordinary place after all, the Tang army did not go towards Changbai Mountain.
Later, after the strength of Xue Rengui and the Tang army soared, they did not send troops outside the Great Wall... After all, the number of Xuanjia troops was limited. Compared with the bitter cold land of Liaodong, the Central Plains, Guanzhong, Jiangnan and other wealthy places, it was still
To be at the front.
Moreover, the Xuanjia Army also has the important responsibility of guarding the capital. Even if it is dispatched, only a very small part of it will be used at that time... It is only now that Li Shimin has gradually achieved his magic, and the Xuanjia Army can be sent to the Tang Dynasty without any scruples.
Everywhere, monsters and monsters in the mountains were wiped out.
Even... under Wang Xuance's diplomatic methods, some small countries in Dongzhou wanted to invite the Tang Xuanjia Army to garrison in their countries.
Li Shimin naturally has no objection to this. Maybe the human race in Dongzhou is not the descendant of Yan and Huang, but after all, they all come from the same origin... If we really want to talk about it, the human race in Nanzhou is the branch, and the "orthodox" human race must be in Dongzhou.
continent.
Now that the Southern Continent human race has risen, it is naturally their duty to help our brothers.
What's more...it's not that the Tang Dynasty has to interfere with the affairs of the Dongzhou people. It's really hard to refuse the kindness of our brothers.
Also as a pilot project, the Tang Dynasty did not directly send troops to garrison. Instead, Wang Xuance selected some officials, lecturers, and outstanding students from the Ministry of Rites and the Tang Academy to set up front...etc.
After establishing friendly and peaceful diplomatic relations, we can talk about garrisoning the army.
When doing things in the Tang Dynasty, we still have to pay attention to a "reputable person", otherwise it will be easy to follow the truth.
Although with the current size of Datang, it is more difficult for outside controversies to affect it...but this does not mean that it likes to be criticized.
For Changbai Mountain and even the entire Northeast Great Wall, it seems to be somewhat unpopular here in the Tang Dynasty... and it is also one of the destinations for some exiled prisoners.
Due to the factors of the general environment, the development outside the Great Wall is often ignored... The Tang Dynasty's emphasis on this area is not even as high as that of the desert grasslands... and those small countries in the East and West continents.
If the Tang Dynasty doesn't love it and the Heavenly Court is in such a situation, what can the mountain gods of Changbai Mountain do?
Bajie understands his difficulties, but now is not the time to be reasonable.
The mountain god did not expect that Zen Master Bajie was not easy to deal with, but now he had no choice but to hope that the second disciple of Sanzang Buddha could completely solve the problem in Changbai Mountain.
.Otherwise, it would not be a simple matter of a snow demon wreaking havoc.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The mountain god did not explain too much to Bajie, but said to Bajie very solemnly and solemnly: "Zen Master... the little god knows that you studied under Tripitaka Buddha
, but the trouble in Changbai Mountain is by no means as simple as it seems to you now, Zen Master."
"oh?"
It doesn't matter if you don't say this. The opening of the mountain god of Changbai Mountain has completely whetted Bajie's appetite. He was suspicious at first, and then gave Huang Xiuer a look, as if to say: Look, the poor monk knows what this mountain god has.
There is information.
This trip was not in vain. From the tone of the mountain god, it seemed that the snow demon was not a big problem. There was probably a big fish waiting for him.
But precisely because of this, Bajie instantly became more serious.
When slaying demons, carelessness is the most taboo thing... On their way west, they had not seen demon slayers or sect disciples who had gone down the mountain to practice, but they died at the hands of demons due to their own negligence.
Although Bajie is quite confident in his own strength, it is his first time entering Changbai Mountain. Without knowing the details of the other party, it is better to be cautious.
But again, try to hit the target with one hit without leaving any consequences.
"I want to hear what kind of monsters there are in Changbai Mountain. It's so complicated." Bajie loosened his grip on the mountain god's hand. He also did not continue to struggle with the previous issue and asked...
I also want to tell the mountain god that I didn’t come here intentionally to cause trouble for him. As long as you cooperate well and tell me everything I want to know or what you know, the matter will be over.
Bajie also reduced the size of the nine-tooth rake and put it in his arms, signaling to the mountain god not to be nervous and to relax appropriately.
Faced with Bajie's kindness, the mountain god also successfully received it, but his mood did not slow down because of it... because he thought that the Zen Master Bajie in front of him could be described as a moody master, with a smiling face and a black face.
The transformation of his face is very smooth and silky, making it impossible to guess what he is thinking, and it is not easy to deal with.
In fact, I can't blame the Mountain God for this. In fact, the five masters and apprentices are not very easy to deal with in the eyes of people who are not familiar with them... In other words, if you want to really establish a certain friendship with them, and
Not an easy task.
It's just that they themselves...may not be able to feel it.
"It is undeniable that the little god, as the mountain god of Changbai Mountain, has indeed neglected his duties." The mountain god said to Bajie: "But these things are not something that the little god can do, but the little god has no control over those monsters in Changbai Mountain.
I still know a little bit about the basic situation of spirits and evil cultivators...just like the snow monster that introduced the Zen master into the mountains. In fact, the little god has had some dealings with it before."
We can forget about the other monsters and monsters in Changbai Mountain for now. The first thing Bajie needs to solve now is the problem of the snow monster.
After dealing with the snow monster first, it's not too late to deal with the other monsters.
"Then let's first talk about the origin and background of this snow demon."
"This snow monster is not a monster born and raised in Changbai Mountain... but two hundred years ago, a pair of evil monks passed by Changbai Mountain and stayed in the dilapidated mountain temple of Xiaoshen."
"The man was seriously injured, and the female cultivator was pregnant. Although she was not seriously injured, her body was in a wretched state and her face was pale... her vitality was obviously damaged."
Huang Xiuer heard this and interrupted: "I seem to have seen the two people you mentioned before."
Huang Xiuer is a restless person. When the snow monster is raging, it dares to walk alone in the mountains, trying to lure the other party... Before the snow monster appears, let alone, in the entire Changbai Mountain, except for that
He didn't dare to go up to Tianchi at will. He had visited all the caves with powerful evil cultivators.
The evil cultivators all have different temperaments, and each has his or her own quirks and tricks... But Huang Xiuer was not afraid of them back then. For those evil cultivators who scolded or even chased them away, they had to learn how to behave in their caves.
The saint wrote the words "Here Comes Here" and also left some special marks as verification.
The five great immortal families are in the same spirit. When the evil cultivators saw the name and knew that he was the third son of the head of the Huang family, they turned a blind eye... It's not like they didn't come to the door. If
If he knew the current affairs, he would treat the other party with delicious food and drinks. Huang Xia called out his incompetent son and apologized to others... The two sides turned their hostility into friendship, and maybe they could even develop friendship over it.
But evil cultivators...mostly those who come to the door with "no eyes", basically come in vertically and go out horizontally. There are also some that go too far, and they never come out after they come in.
Although the five great immortal families have their ancestral teachings and will not take action against mortals...but it does not mean that they are good people.
Especially in the "three-quarters of an acre" land in Changbai Mountain, except for Tiantianchi, they all regard it as their own territory. How can they still suffer a loss in their own home?
This is also an evil practice practiced in Changbai Mountain, and the general magic power is not very advanced... They really can't squeeze in to those other fairy mountain blessed places, otherwise they would not choose to come to Changbai Mountain to "suffer the cold".
The ice cold in Changbai Mountain is not an ordinary cold.
Even if a practitioner wants to resist such cold air, it will be a waste of mana.
The reason why the five great immortal families are able to gain a foothold in Changbai Mountain is actually because they have special blood and are not naturally afraid of such cold and snowy places. Even the Liu family and Bai family in Changbai Mountain do not need to hibernate at all.
.The three realms of Hu, Huang and Gray are like a fish in water.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest.
If this sentence is placed in the Changbai Mountain ecosystem, it is obviously a true portrayal.
The mountain god also knew very well what kind of virtue Huang Xiuer had. He was not surprised at all when he said that he had seen this couple.
Hearing this, Bajie looked towards Huang Xiuer, but Huang Xiuer scratched his head and said: "I just met them when they entered the mountain...and I have never seen them again since they entered the mountain."
The second time...if the mountain god hadn't mentioned it today, I probably wouldn't have remembered that this couple had entered Changbai Mountain."
"Now that I think about it... I'm afraid the two of them are in danger, right?" After Huang Xiuer finished speaking, she looked at the mountain god.
The mountain god nodded, "That male cultivator died that night."
After saying that, the mountain god also pointed to the place where Huang Xiuer was standing, "He died right where you are standing."
Huang Xiu'er didn't have any taboos about this. She lowered her head and looked around, and sniffed carefully with her nose... But more than two hundred years had passed, so naturally there was nothing to gain, so she asked out of curiosity: "It's a serious injury."
Died? Or are enemies chasing you?"
"None of them." The mountain god shook his head, "He has injured his soul, and his magic power is gradually dissipating. Even if he recovers in the future... his cultivation level will basically not be preserved... Since he is an evil cultivator, then he has formed a
He must have many enemies, otherwise he wouldn't have been so seriously injured... If all his magic power was lost and he became a 'waste', it would be no different from killing him."
"So, he forcibly stimulated his own vitality that night, and poured all the remaining mana and cultivation into the female cultivator. Finally, the oil ran out and the lamp withered and died."
