When Pudu Cihang and Buddhist cholera swept through the world, there was still some hope for rebellion.
Now, the aristocratic family and the humble family are still in the honeymoon period, Buddhism has shrunk its strength, Kunlun is in Kaifeng, and the demon's momentum has been defeated.
Although the people are still living in dire straits, don't forget that this is a world where martial arts masters break through three thousand armors, and Buddhist and Taoist monks burn mountains and seas.
Ordinary people don't even have the right to say no.
Hengzhen said goodbye and said, "It doesn't matter if there are millions of followers. Do you have the strength to fight against the royal family, aristocratic families, and Buddhists, Taoists, and Confucians?"
It’s not that Zhang Heng looks down on Heng Zhen Dao.
But the founding time of Hengzhen Tao is indeed too short. It has only been thirty years since it was founded by Xu Hongru.
The only person who can be called a master is Xu Hongru himself.
He is said to be the best in the art of transformation, but in terms of strength, he is ranked at most eight or nine in the world, and he may not even be eighth or nine.
Zhang Heng, Fa Hai, Zhao Zongzheng, the Two Sages of Kunlun, the head of Confucius and Mencius, Yan Chixia.
No one can compare to him.
Coupled with some old monsters who have never appeared in the world, it will be a big deal to be in the top ten.
Just this strength.
rebel.
There is no starting point.
"If I remember correctly, the twelfth prince was named King Min just the year before last. He should be allowed to open a palace and build teeth."
Zhang Heng lived in Kaifeng before, was friends with the Frog God, and knew a little about the affairs of the court.
For example, the twelfth prince was not very conspicuous among the princes, and he was not favored by Emperor Tianxi. He was relatively late among the princes to be crowned king.
And the title is not good, it is a Min character.
Min means dim and confused.
King Min is the king of confusion and confusion.
It can be seen that in Emperor Tianxi's mind, this son had no ability.
"The twelfth prince has just been crowned king not long ago."
"However, he has been in the limelight recently. He presided over the expansion of Kaifeng Water Conservancy some time ago. People from the Ministry of Industry called it: good at water management."
Wei Wei Sheji, the whole hall is in court.
There are probably only a few people who can be called good at water management.
For a prince to be considered by people from the Ministry of Industry as having skills in controlling floods, King Min is not confused.
"There is still one."
Yan Chixia said a name that surprised Zhang Heng: "Do you still remember Yang Pan?"
"Yang Pan!"
Zhang Heng hadn't heard of him for more than half a year since we parted ways in the Ancient Tree Secret Realm.
When I heard this, I couldn't help but curiously asked: "What's wrong with Yang Pan?"
"Yang Pan took refuge with the twelfth prince, and was deeply trusted. He was treated as a distinguished guest, and was allowed to enter with swords and shoes. He did not bow to him when he saw him."
Yan Chixia paused: "The news about Hengzhen Dao's evil intentions was discovered through his investigation."
Zhang Heng fell into deep thought.
Yang Pan actually got involved with the twelfth prince and was even treated as a distinguished guest.
what's the situation.
Everyone in the world doesn't know that Emperor Tianxi is old and the battle between the princes has become fierce.
At this time, he got involved with the Twelve Princes. If the Twelve Princes failed in the dragon competition in the future and were imprisoned or sentenced to death, Yang Pan, as an honored guest, would probably be implicated.
Yang Pan is a smart man.
All fools know the risks of fighting for the dragon, there is no way he doesn't know it.
But when he chose to surrender to the Twelve Princes, did he have no choice, or did he do it intentionally and take a fancy to the Twelve Princes?
"Thank you, Master Yan, for reminding me."
"Hengzhen Dao and Yang Pan have a close relationship with me. Before investigating Hengzhen Dao, can you let me go first?"
Zhang Heng expressed his gratitude to Yan Chixia.
Yan Chixia was responsible for investigating Hengzhen Dao and came to visit him before the investigation. The profound meaning is self-evident.
"There is nothing you can't do."
Yan Chixia agreed: "These are troubled times right now, and I hope I made a mistake."
Zhang Henggong cupped his hands and turned into a stream of light and headed towards Hengzhen Road.
Haven't been here for half a year.
Hengzhen Tao seems to be more prosperous. In the past, only Xu Hongru and his hundreds of disciples lived here, but now it has developed like a small town.
"Zhenren Zhang."
Saw Zhang Heng arriving.
The patrolling disciples who knew him came forward to greet him one after another, and said to the people around him: "This is Zhenren Zhang, a close friend of the master."
"No need to be polite."
Zhang Heng waved his hand and asked everyone: "Where are you, the master?"
"Master, our master is in seclusion, and the date of his release has not yet been determined."
After one person answered, another person spoke up: "Now the saints are responsible for everything in the religion. If you have anything to do, you can just go directly to our saints."
When talking about Saint White Lotus, all the disciples expressed their admiration.
This kind of admiration cannot be faked. It is obvious that Bai Feihe has a high status in the hearts of the believers.
"This little girl does have some tricks up her sleeve."
If Zhang Heng remembers correctly, Bai Feihe's cultivation level is not very high. He only has the cultivation level of the second level, the foundation building level.
And among the disciples of Hengzhen Dao, there are also those who have returned to the realm of virtual reality.
With his cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Realm, Bai Feihe was able to make his fellow disciples in the Return to the Void Realm respect his orders, which he couldn't have done without two brushes.
After all, even if she is a saint appointed by Xu Hongru, other disciples can still disobey her if they don't accept her.
"Zhenren Zhang!"
Not long after, Zhang Heng met Bai Feihe.
Bai Fei has a jade plaque hanging on his waist and a veil on his face. He hasn't been seen for half a year, and his body already has an indescribable aura of nobility.
"You guys, please step back."
Bai Feihe led Zhang Heng directly to his Saintess' Palace.
After entering the palace, he waved away the people around him and came to pour tea for Zhang Heng himself.
"Zhenren, how come you have time to come to Hengzhen Dao?"
Bai Feihe looked happy: "Are you here to see the master or to see me? I have been practicing the divine descending technique you gave me."
Zhang Heng got straight to the point: "I heard that Hengzhen Taoism now spreads thousands of miles and has millions of followers. Disciples from all over the country place incense as a sign and hold small gatherings for five days and big gatherings for ten days. Is this possible?"
"this..."
Bai Feihe was stunned for a moment: "Where did the real person hear this?"
Zhang Heng did not answer, but asked again: "Is there such a thing?"
Bai Feihe nodded: "Most of the believers below are poor people with no permanent property. Every time we gather, we publicize the importance of faith, as well as interesting things about fairyland and Buddhist holy land. It is a small way for us to preach.
"
Zhang Heng took a deep look at Bai Feihe, and then said: "Hengzhen Taoism gathers incense, ranging from hundreds to thousands. With a stick of incense on the head, the world is one family. As a slogan, it preaches: In troubled times, all living beings are in trouble.
Suffering, gods and men descended from heaven, no birth mother."
There was a slight pause in the tone: "Is that right?"
Bai Feihe nodded: "Yes, there is this slogan."
Zhang Heng sighed: "There is a bird that has stopped in the south. It has been without wings for three years, has not flown and has not sounded. Once the wind blows, it soars into the sky and becomes a sensation. What does Hengzhen Dao want to do?"
Bai Feihe looked at him in confusion.
Zhang Heng also looked back: "Your master Xu Hongru and I are good friends, and we have the grace to preach to you. After all, our relationship can be considered close."
Without waiting for Bai Feihe's answer.
Zhang Heng asked again: "Is Heng Zhen Dao going to rebel?"
"rebel?"
Bai Feihe repeatedly denied: "We never thought about rebelling."
"I haven't thought about it, or is the time just not right?"
"Do you know that what you have done has been noticed by someone who is interested?"
"The Twelve Princes sent a letter to the court, and Hengzhen Dao conspired to rebel."
"Right now, Yan Chixia is in Guobei County. She knows that you and I have an old relationship with Hengzhen Dao, so she came to tell me first."
"If there hadn't been this relationship, it wouldn't have been me, but him."
"If he feels that Hengzhen Dao is really going to rebel, the Zhenxi Army will come to suppress it in less than three days."
Zhang Heng said in a calm voice: "Do you know how powerful this is?"
Bai Feihe looked innocent: "I asked people to preach. I just want to expand the influence of Hengzhen Tao and attract more believers so that the master will be happy after he comes out of seclusion. How can I dare to secretly hide armored soldiers and gather people to rebel."
Zhang Heng didn't say he believed it, nor did he say he didn't believe it.
He just said: "You have been too high-profile recently. Yan Chixia is a just person. The investigation in Hengzhen Dao is a real investigation. As long as you don't hide soldiers secretly and gather people to conspire, he will not add fuel to the fire."
"If it were someone else in charge, we wouldn't be sure."
Bai Feihe was a little aggrieved: "The Fahai of Jinshan Temple held a Buddhist Dharma meeting in Baima Temple. There were many monks gathered and countless believers, a hundred thousand people. Why didn't anyone say that they wanted to gather people to rebel?"
Zhang Heng glanced at Bai Feihe: "Because Hengzhen Dao is not Baima Temple or Jinshan Temple, it cannot represent Buddhism, and you are not the most powerful person in Buddhism, Fahai."
Not to mention that Fahai just preaches Buddhism.
Even if he really wanted to gather a crowd to rebel, no one would dare to lift the lid until the state capital was breached.
This is like Baldhead and Xiaoli fighting from north to south, but the two sides have never officially declared war.
Why is this happening?
When it comes to strength, stay on the line so we can meet each other easily.
Bai Feihe is different.
Is there anything she can do to make the court fearful?
Forget about her, within Hengzhen Dao, even Xu Hongru is considered nothing more than a piece of cake for the royal family, aristocratic families, and Buddhists, Taoists, and Confucians.
If I say I'll hit you, I'll hit you.
Because your fist is not big enough, it is the last word to have a big fist.
"Real person..."
Bai Feihe looked at Zhang Heng pitifully.
Zhang Heng said coldly: "I don't care if you are sincere or fake, please put your thoughts aside now. Don't act rashly before you have the strength. Preaching thousands of miles and having millions of followers, is this what Hengzhen Tao should look like now?"
"Do you know that in the land of Kyushu, whose territory has been divided for a long time?"
"Preaching without asking is like a tiger invading another tiger's territory."
"I'm ignoring you now because Hengzhen Dao is affiliated with the Kunlun Sect. All parties are suspicious of each other and only think that the Kunlun Sect is going to take action."
"When they find out that you are a paper tiger, they will tear you apart without hesitation."
Zhang Heng said this, stood up and walked out: "Take back all tentacles, don't make any moves within three years, and don't leave the Western Wilderness within ten years."
The steps pause slightly.
Zhang Heng turned back and said: "As for what you will be like in ten years and how to go, it depends on you."
The general trend of the world.
If they are separated for a long time, they will be united; if they are united for a long time, they will be divided.
Although he has a good relationship with Yan Chixia, he also has a good relationship with the Frog God.
But the Dasong Dynasty is really rotten to the core. This is the time when it cannot be broken or established.
Ten years later.
If the world is still like this, if Hengzhen Dao has an idea, he may not have a chance to give it a try.
But for now, let’s develop honestly.
"came back?"
In Guobei County.
Seeing Zhang Heng coming back, Yan Chixia asked, "How was it?"
"I dare not say about the future, but right now, Hengzhen Dao has no intention of rebelling."
Zhang Heng thought of the twelfth prince who wrote a letter about Hengzhen Dao's rebellion, and Yang Pan who was behind it, and asked Yan Chixia: "Master Yan, you are a member of the royal family, do you think the Dasong Dynasty will be revived?"
?"
"ZTE!"
Yan Chixia thought for a while.
He shook his head and said: "I don't know. When I was young, I also wanted to show my ambition, but it's a pity..."
Yan Chixia raised her sword and touched her beard: "The building is about to collapse, and there is no way to hold it up. Although I am a member of the royal family, I really can't have any more expectations for this court and this royal family."
Finished.
Yan Chixia picked up the wine gourd, took a sip, and said goodbye to Zhang Heng: "I'm going to go to the Western Wilderness to have a look. After reading this, I may go out to sea again to find the elixir."
Emperor Tianxi is very old.
People are afraid of death when they grow old. For the current Emperor Tianxi, nothing is more worthy of pursuit than the elixir of life.
The affairs of the Central Plains are the affairs of the world.
Yan Chixia no longer wants to worry about it.
He has been wandering around the world all year round, associating with ghosts and monsters. No one knows what the world is like better than him.
If you go here, you may never come back.
"Take care of yourself."
From Yan Chixia's tone, Zhang Heng could hear the freedom and ease of sailing overseas and never coming back.
Think about it.
Perhaps Yan Chixia's departure was a relief for him.
Without the worries of the mortal world, Yan Chixia may not have any hope of ascending in the future if she devotes herself to cultivating Taoism overseas.
"gone."
Yan Chixia left without looking back.
Zhang Heng looked at his back and did not move for a long time.
Because he doesn't know whether they will see each other again in this life.
"Life is a running train, and you and I are the passengers..."
Zhang Heng sighed: "Yan Chixia, we've arrived at the station."
Zhang Heng and Yan Chixia.
We met on the train of life. Now, Yan Chixia has arrived at the station.
One person got off the car and the other was still in the car.
Goodbye forever.
"Maybe we can meet again."
Zhang Heng looked up at the sky.
If Yan Chixia can become an immortal, she may be able to meet her in the earthly immortal world in the future.
certainly.
How likely such an encounter is to have is another question.
Time passes...
In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed.
Hengzhen Dao began to shrink completely, and there was no news about them outside the Western Wilderness.
Just when Zhang Heng felt that he could quietly cultivate again with peace of mind.
Yang Pan, who had taken refuge with the twelfth prince and worked under him, came to Guobei County and found Zhang Heng.
"The Hengzhen Tao was taught by an expert and then disappeared, never to be heard again. Is this the handiwork of a real person?"
Yang Pan came with three hundred cavalry in high spirits.
"I heard that you followed the twelfth prince?"
Zhang Heng asked instead without answering.
"With me as general and planner, the twelve princes will surely end the troubled times and rebuild the world."
Yang Pan looked confident.
"Yeah?"
Zhang Heng was noncommittal: "It must be him?"
Yang Pan nodded: "It must be him."
Zhang Heng asked again: "What about you?"
"I can not."
Yang Pan knew what Zhang Heng wanted to ask, so he shook his head very simply and said: "I can be a general and a counselor, but I cannot be a king."
Zhang Heng thought for a while.
Everyone exaggerates their abilities and feels that they can do more, or even everything.
Yang Pan has a big secret.
I didn't expect him to be so sober as a human being, which is rare.
certainly.
Compared with Yang Pan, is he the king or the general?
Zhang Heng was more concerned about why he came to find him.
Yang Pan is a person who never goes to the Three Treasures Hall for anything.
