Chapter 708: A good bird chooses a tree to roost in; there are few in the Three Realms who can deceive a poor monk.
Some people know the beginning of the Battle of Yiling, and some people don't.
Those generals after the Three Kingdoms period were already looking forward to what kind of collision there would be between Guan Yu and Lu Meng.
In fact, in addition to the grievances and grievances between the generals of the Three Kingdoms, the generals of the Qin, Han and Warring States periods also had old enemies... However, these generals were all taken away to the chaotic Xuandu City by the Xuandu Archmage. Even if they could
It sensed the incense offered by the Martial Temple, but did not condense the incense divine body in response.
Therefore, the oldest group of people who manifested their spirits in the martial arts temple were Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Peng Yue and other famous generals from the late Qin and early Han dynasties... After that, there were Zhou Yafu, Wei Qing, Li Guang and famous generals from the Han Dynasty. As for Huo Qubing
...But he was taken to Xuandu City by the Great Master of Xuandu early. He was like a fish in water in the chaos. Cooperating with Gui Guzi, he killed those extraterrestrial demons who cried for father and mother.
Zhou Yu died young, but when he was still serving as the governor of Soochow, his relationship with the Shu Han side was pretty good.
Especially when Sun and Liu joined forces to fight against Cao Cao, they spent a honeymoon period. Although Zhou Yu had targeted Zhuge Liang several times before, the two of them still cherished each other.
At this moment, the one who dared to take the initiative to say hello was Zhou Yu.
"Kong Ming, long time no see."
Although Zhou Yu didn't know why Lu Meng was so scared when he saw Guan Yu, he could guess... After his death, something bad might have happened between the two parties.
But now that everyone is recovering in the martial arts temple, if the past grudges cannot be resolved in time, it may be difficult to find peace in the future.
After looking around for a week, Zhou Yu found that he actually didn't have many acquaintances. If he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the martial arts temple... In addition to Lu Meng and Lu Xun, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were of course the people he needed to unite with.
Therefore, Zhou Yu took the initiative to greet Zhuge Liang and others.
It has to be said that during the Three Kingdoms period, there were many famous generals, and only nine of them were able to enter the Martial Temple.
Among the nine people, Zhou Yu did not know two of them. One was Lu Xun's son, Lu Kang. He had not known him before, but he knew it just now when he saw Lu Kang saluting Lu Xun and saying, "The child has seen his father."
The identity of the other party...the other one is Deng Ai who is following Zhang Liao.
In fact, when Zhou Yu observed this situation, he was quite proud... After all, among the nine people, Soochow occupied four seats, while the Shu Han had three, namely Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
..Zhou Yu felt that it was not surprising that the three of them entered the martial arts temple.
What surprised Zhou Yu the most was that it was Cao Wei's side. Not to mention that there were only two selected, and one of them was unknown to him and should be a junior... Let's just say that the Zhang Liao he knew was at most a mid-level general among the Cao Wei group.
, I never thought that I would be selected into the Martial Arts Temple. Instead, Cao Cao's close confidants, the Xiahou brothers, and the generals of the Cao clan headed by Cao Ren, were not selected...
Could it be that Zhou Yu had a terrible guess in his mind... Wouldn't Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition really succeed?
But looking back at my own family, there are three juniors selected, and one of them is Lu Xun's son. Could it be that the one who has the last laugh...is actually Soochow?
I have to say, based on the analysis of the situation at hand, Zhou Yu's inference is not unreasonable...but in fact, it can only be said that it has no influence at all.
In other words, Zhou Yu died young and missed too much... If he knew that Zhang Liao's position in the martial arts temple was personally given by their lord Sun Quan, I don't know how he would feel.
In the Battle of Hefei, Zhang Liao led 800 soldiers to attack Soochow's 100,000-strong army, and rushed to the banner of Sun Quan's commander, causing the Wu army to collapse... Later, when Soochow retreated, he led his pursuers to defeat Sun Quan, Gan Ning, and Ling Tong.
and other troops, almost captured Sun Quan alive... After this battle, Zhang Liao became famous in Jiangdong, and "Zhang Liao stopped crying" has become an allusion that has been passed down through the ages.
This is the story of how Zhang Liao shocked Xiaoyaojin.
When the famous generals of the dynasties after the Three Kingdoms studied the battles of the previous dynasties, the Battle of Hefei was naturally their focus.
Famous generals studied Zhang Liao, while emperors looked for lessons from Sun Quan.
It's of great significance.
But even with Sun Quan's lessons learned, some future generations of kings will still follow suit... becoming lessons for a new round. This is what Li Shimin often said about using history as a mirror to know the ups and downs.
"Gong Jin."
In the past, although Zhuge Liang had condensed the body of the god of incense and fire, he only stayed in the Wuhou Temple, sometimes looking north to the Central Plains... Especially when all the people in the past had passed away, and when the waves came after him, he
The obsession in my heart seemed to be slowly dissipating.
Now we have ushered in a great unification, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty was even stronger than that of Qin and Han... Zhuge Liang is also looking forward to how high this "Khan of Heaven" can reach... Maybe even being a human king is not his limit.
Zhuge Liang often recalled the "love and killing" with Zhou Gongjin, but it was actually unforgettable.
For Zhuge Liang, being able to reunite with his old friends here is also a comfort to him who has been alone in Wuhou Temple for these years.
Of course, similar scenes can be seen elsewhere...Generals of the same era will of course gather together for a long time. Even the original enemies know that this is not the time to easily start a dispute.
Guan Yu actually noticed the change in Lu Meng's expression, but he didn't take it to heart... What happened back then has been settled... Although he and Lu Meng are now in the martial temple together, in fact, the relationship between the two sides
The status gap is as big as clouds and mud.
After all, the name "Guan Sheng Emperor" has already appeared among the people for the first time... His godhood is improving almost every day.
This makes those gods in heaven who need incense envious.
Because Guan Yu himself became a god after death by incense... Offering incense is his original power, and of course he will not refuse it. This is also the essential gap between such incense gods and the gods who have become immortals through cultivation.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even if the immortals who have been cultivated and granted the title of incense do not have incense offerings, their practice will not be affected; but if the incense gods lose the incense offerings, it will obviously only
One result...is to gradually dissipate into the three realms.
There are also two incense gods who appear together in the martial arts temple, namely Yuchi Gong and Qin Shubao...their deities in heaven are "door gods".
The sages from the civil and military temples each appeared, which was definitely a great blessing for the entire Tang Dynasty... Not to mention how their own wisdom would improve the Tang Dynasty, let's just say that they were influenced by
The power accumulated by the incense offerings of the entire Tang Dynasty by its monarchs, ministers and people was enough to serve as a barrier to protect the safety of the Tang Dynasty.
Once the Tang Dynasty was in danger, especially the danger of foreign invasion, these sages in the Confucian and Martial Temples would certainly not sit idly by.
At the very least, if it was Li Shimin's request, they would definitely not refuse.
As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to roost in, and wise ministers choose their masters to serve as their assistants...Kings hope that their subordinates are capable ministers and generals. Of course, ministers are more willing to work under the command of a wise king and a heroic lord, so that they can fully display their talents.
competence.
But Li Shimin, who obviously fits all their fantasies about their lord.
Even Zhuge Liang had to admit that few previous emperors could match Li Shimin's talents and strategies. Even Emperor Qin and Han Wu were slightly inferior to Li Shimin today.
As for the only criticism of Li Shimin, in the eyes of these generals, it is not unacceptable...In that situation, if Li Shimin did not take action, then Li Shimin would die.
If Fusu had been as courageous as Li Shimin back then... he wouldn't have just seen an edict that he didn't know was true or false, and committed suicide directly... Or he would have taken Meng Tian with him.
Otherwise, Great Qin really would not have perished in its second generation.
...
In the emperor's palace.
Fahai's inquiry about Onozawa Water God has come to an end.
Over there, Xue Rengui also learned the whole story from the mouths of this group of soldiers.
At this moment, Li Shimin, Fa Hai and Xue Rengui are sitting cross-legged... reviewing this matter.
"They said two men in black robes attacked them." Xue Rengui spoke first.
"Yes." Fa Hai nodded, "That's what the Water God said... It's just that the two men in black robes didn't attack together. The one who attacked outside Luoyang City was a monster with horns on top of his head.
..After they were captured, another man in black robe came, blocked their energy and blood, and put a spell on their bodies."
"Yes, that's exactly it."
"Two men in black robes." Li Shimin nodded secretly when he heard this, and said: "The news from Li Chunfeng and others said that the six ferocious beasts raised in the lake in Liangshan were also killed by two when they were young.
A man in black robe was captured from Luzhou in Beiju and taken to Liangshan... One of the men in black robe had a pair of horns."
That's right.
Fahai also followed up and said: "The Water God also said that after occupying Ohnoze, he also took charge of Liangshan Water Park... He is responsible for the daily food of the six ferocious beasts."
"So...the Onoze Water God knows the identity of the Liangshan old demon?" Li Shimin looked at Fahai.
"Yes and no." Fahai shook his head helplessly, "Onezawa Water God only met the Liangshan Old Demon, and was entrusted by the Liangshan Old Demon to help feed those ferocious beasts... As for the Liangshan Old Demon, what happened?
He doesn't know what the heel is."
"Isn't there any clue?" Li Shimin was a little reluctant.
"After all, the Onoze Water God was just a former Sui minister who became a god after his death...His knowledge is limited after all. Even if he saw the true appearance of the old demon from Liangshan, it would be difficult to guess his whereabouts." Fahai continued.
Said: "According to what Onezawa Water God said, when he was captured by Fei Changfang and Lan Caihe, the Liangshan old demon was not in Liangshan, so he waited until outside Luoyang City before the Liangshan old demon started to rob people.
...It’s not a calculated move, it’s just a coincidence.”
"Is this statement credible?" Li Shimin questioned.
"There are not many people in the Three Realms who can deceive a poor monk with lies." Fahai was very confident when he said this.
In fact, this is exactly the case. With Fahai's current cultivation level, it would not be easy even for Buddha and Bodhisattva to deceive him.
Obviously, this Ohnozawa Water God is not among them yet.
Unless there is such a situation, that is, Ohnozawa Water God does not know that what he is telling is a lie, and he believes his lies to be true...perhaps he can deceive Fahai.
But in this way, the person who actually deceived Fahai was not Ohnozawa Water God...but the being behind the scenes who made Ohnozawa Water God think he was.
Of course, even if this is the case, Fahai will make his own inferences and judgments, and will not believe everything one person says... he still has to use facts and evidence to speak for himself.
However, judging from the current situation, Fahai believes that what Ohnozawa Water God said should be the truth.
Because Ohnoze Water God also said some follow-up things, "The reason why the old demon of Liangshan set out to save Ohnoze Water God as soon as possible after returning to Liangshan... In fact, he was afraid that what he did in Liangshan would be criticized by everyone."
Tang knew...thus causing some unnecessary trouble."
"According to what Ohnoze Water God said, the Liangshan old demon wanted to kill people and silence them that day... As long as he and this group of black armored cavalry disappear completely in the three realms, then naturally he can hide what he did in Liangshan..."
"It's a joke." Li Shimin sneered, "Does he think that I will let a group of knights disappear and ignore it? Or is it just a decoration of Fei Chang's Ministry stationed outside Liangshan?"
"So... the appearance of the second black-robed man is to stop the wrong behavior of the Liangshan old demon." Fahai continued, "It was the second black-robed man who advised the Liangshan old demon not to act impulsively...
.Otherwise, the real disaster will come.”
"That's right." Xue Rengui heard this and stood up to prove it, "I asked that group of cavalry and they also said that the Liangshan old demon was preparing to kill... It was the man in black robe who stopped the Liangshan old demon later.
And he said to the old demon of Liangshan: If you don’t believe it, then I will hide their whereabouts and create the illusion that they are missing in the Three Realms, and let’s see how Datang will react.”
Li Shimin suddenly thought of something: "So the charms on them..."
Fahai and Xue Rengui nodded in unison, saying that Li Shimin was right, "The function of that talisman is to hide their whereabouts."
"Onozawa Water God has some talents. Although the man in black took away all the charms on the last day... but he wrote down the patterns on the charms." Fa Hai said to Li Shimin, "The poor monk has already
The pattern is sent to the True Lord Temple, and the results will surely come out soon... As long as you know the origin of this spell, you can also get a clue to their identity."
What is known now is that the demon with horns on his head is the old demon from Liangshan.
But the man in black who affixed the talisman is probably the one who really controls everything behind the scenes... After all, if the old demon from Liangshan had performed his original operations, he would have been captured by the Tang Dynasty long ago.
Now Li Shimin is no longer anxious about the identity of the old demon from Liangshan... Instead, he is interested in the man in black who is behind the scenes.
"No matter what, the words of the man in black saved the lives of my team of soldiers... I should still be grateful. If I have the opportunity, I would like to express my gratitude in person."
