Look at the wind and frost, the wind and frost are left on the face.
It's June.
The rebellion in Beihai has never subsided, but has intensified.
Especially when they pieced together everything and managed to recruit an immortal power from the imperial dynasty, the martial arts holy land, and Confucianism, and went to Beihai for the second time to quell the rebellion, but were defeated by Buddhism on the way, the situation in Beihai was completely corrupted.
First, states and counties declared independence.
Then he respected Buddhism as the state religion and established a new dynasty.
In less than half a month, Dali, which had ruled the world for 180 years, took the first step towards disintegration.
With the breeze.
News of the second defeat spread to the south.
This defeat.
It also made the world understand that Dali was strong on the outside and powerful on the inside. Without Emperor Li in charge, Dali was not enough to become the co-leader.
For a time, the world was undercurrent.
In the royal family.
Several princes competed with their henchmen for power and profit.
Outside the royal family.
The generals who guard each place and the governors of the prefectures all have different thoughts.
Zhang Heng was still thinking about whether the princes and the Confucian, Wu, Yao and Mo families would continue to send more troops to Beihai.
The eldest prince, supported by the Demon Cult and the Demon Concubine, took the lead in rushing to the western states and openly proclaimed himself emperor.
Later.
The second prince, supported by the martial arts family, proclaimed himself emperor in Lingnan Prefecture.
The third prince supported by the demon clan proclaimed himself emperor on the shores of the East China Sea.
The four princes supported by Confucianism proclaimed themselves emperor in the south of Zhongzhou.
A moment.
The four emperors came together, and each group of imperial courts claimed that they were orthodox.
As for the previous rebellion in Beihai.
For a moment, it seemed like what happened tens of millions of years ago was no longer noticed by anyone.
"On this day last year, the world was still peaceful."
"In just a short time, the world has become such a mess. Two days ago, Cui Zhoumu called us county guards to a meeting in the city and asked what we wanted."
"I didn't say anything, but what I heard from Cui Zhoumu's words was that he was preparing to support his troops and respect himself. No one would support it. He planned to wait and see what the news was like first."
Tiger Mountain.
Brother Zhang was wearing an official robe and official boots, accompanied by several civil servants, and sat next to Zhang Heng with a sad look on his face.
Zhang Heng's attitude was indifferent.
Dali was originally built on the power of Emperor Li.
The Li Dynasty was able to unify the world not because there were numerous generals and advisers like rain.
Not to mention that the country is rich and the people are strong, and the heroes who have fought for six generations are not the same.
Dali is strong.
The kind who is only strong enough for one person and dare not disobey the world that is dominated by one person.
After removing Emperor Li, Dali is essentially no different from the Lu, Chen, and Yan that once existed.
Today's crisis has actually been doomed a long time ago.
"Dali is like a hanging garden."
"It exists high in the sky and is entirely supported by a pillar called the Glass Emperor."
"I've seen a lot of rise and fall."
"I also understand the truth that the brilliance created by one person will also end when that person leaves."
"Lihuang is still too impatient."
"It is difficult to conquer the world, but it is also difficult to defend the world."
"His biggest mistake was that he did not completely crush the Buddhist and Taoist families before leaving, and wipe out those aristocratic families as well."
"This creates a doomed situation in which one person will prosper and one person will perish. There is no second Emperor Li in the royal family. Those princes who were born due to marriage also have difficulties because of their mother's clan.
Accepted by other forces."
"Some people say that Lihuang promoted Confucianism and martial arts and destroyed Buddhism and Taoism. He was a vicious man with cruel methods."
"But let me tell you, he is still not ruthless enough. He also thinks too highly of himself, thinking that there is nothing in the world that he cannot do. In fact, people's hearts are fickle. People who say good things to you today may not do the same tomorrow.
explain."
Zhang Heng said as he spoke.
The tea in hand is also ready. I pour two cups, one for myself and one for my second brother: "Please give me tea, please."
The tea is good though.
Brother Zhang couldn't taste the drink.
Because he is not Zhang Heng. He is an idle man in the mountains. He has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry.
He is Zhang Zhifu of Anding Prefecture.
There are tens of millions of people under his rule, and now a great chaos is about to break out. Even if he doesn't plan for himself, he must make plans for these tens of millions of people.
"The sky cannot have two days, nor the country have two masters."
"The four princes who have ascended the throne and proclaimed themselves emperor will fight sooner or later."
"Who do you think I should support and who has the hope of reunification? Or do you think that Buddhism and Taoism can succeed? In the future, the Great Li Realm will once again become a hundred countries fighting for hegemony, as they did before reunification.
situation?"
Brother Zhang has a higher status now.
He was not the little catcher who knew nothing before. He whispered: "I heard that the Buddhist and Taoist families may join forces to divide the north and the south, and each support the puppet dynasty. Just like in the sect era, they themselves hide behind the scenes.
Enjoy the offerings, raise your head to look at the Tao, and lower your head to entertain all living beings."
Zhang Heng thought for a while.
Times are always changing. In the era of sects, sects are supreme.
The so-called dynasty is nothing more than a shepherd chosen by the sect to plunder the world and stabilize one side's puppets.
And now.
It should be regarded as the dynasty era.
The major sects either retired or became pawns of the dynasty.
Compare them two by two.
Each era has its own characteristics, and it’s hard to say which one is better.
Because for the common people, all you need to do is kowtow and shout long live. After all, it’s all about commanding and conquering, exploiting and being exploited. Do you still want to be the master?
"For now."
"Confucianism, martial arts, Taoism, Buddhism, demons, and demons are the six schools that have the greatest chance of dividing the world."
"Unless there is another person like Emperor Li who can single-handedly defeat everyone and forcefully ravage the whole world together."
"It's just that it's very difficult, and it's only for the moment. Whoever can guarantee that Emperor Li will lose will definitely lose, and everything today can't be a trap."
"Furthermore, even if he loses, who can say that he will not give the world another try before he is completely defeated and swallowed up by God's will. You must know that the realm of Emperor Li is definitely above that of heavenly immortals. Who cares about Buddha
Taoism, Confucianism, and martial arts, among the so-called immortal giants, in my opinion, none of them can stand up to the Emperor Li."
Zhang Heng told the truth: "There should be a stalemate in the world for a period of time. In addition to the four princes attacking each other, the Buddhist and Taoist families will restrain each other and will not declare war without reservation."
Hear this.
Brother Zhang thought for a while, and it seemed that that was really the case.
Even if Buddhism occupied the land of Beihai, it did not rush to send troops southward, but chose to wait and see.
"The calm before the storm."
Brother Zhang sighed, and then said: "But there are rumors that the Tianfo Sect after Nirvana is a little different from before, and it is very violent."
Hear this.
Zhang Heng frowned: "Buddhas and demons are difficult to distinguish. Back then, the Buddha and the Sangha passed through Nirvana. Now they are reborn. It's hard to say where they went after their death and where they came back from."
"Another point is that although I am a Buddhist, I have read a few Buddhist scriptures, but I don't seek a deep explanation."
"Killing is to protect living beings. Killing karma is not killing people. Even to a half-hearted person like me, this is a statement that destroys the Buddha and destroys the sutra. The demonic nature of this statement is still in the heart of the Buddha after the wine and meat passed through it. It remains in the heart of the Buddha.
The sect takes this as a slogan, replaces the monk's clothes with blood clothes, and claims to kill and save the world. This kind of Buddhism"
Zhang Heng didn't say anything else.
But when the second brother heard it, his expression changed: "Do you suspect that the returning Heavenly Buddha Monk is not a Buddha, but a demon?"
Zhang Heng was not so sure.
But judging from the slogan, the Tianfo Sect at this time is indeed more demonic than the Tianmo Sect.
The tenets of the Tianmo Sect are: self-improvement, seeking immortality, forging ahead, seeking results rather than process.
Extreme is a bit extreme.
Self-centered, interests first, not caring about worldly vision and means.
But it’s not to the point where killing lives means protecting lives.
If you are killing, you are protecting life.
Wouldn't it mean that murder is not sinful, but actually meritorious?
This is not Buddhism, it is clearly an enemy of Buddhism.
"correct."
Talked about Buddhism.
Zhang Heng thought about Brother Zhang again: "Has there been any news about Brother Zhang recently? Where has he gone?"
"No."
The second brother guessed: "When he left, he said he was going to explore the secret realm. Counting the time, it is time to come back from exploring the secret realm. There has been no news for so long. Could it be that the eldest brother has contacted the Taoist sect again?"
Zhang Heng couldn’t say either.
From a camp perspective, Brother Zhang is considered a traitor to the Taoist sect.
It's just that he, a traitor, acted out of desperation because of the conflict within the Taoist sect and the Tianming Taoist lineage was suppressed.
Zhang Heng felt that before.
Although Taoist Tianming is not ranked high in the Taoist sect, he is the third-ranked figure.
But he is very ambitious and good at planning.
Now that the world has changed, it makes sense for the market to rise.
same.
The eldest brother is the disciple of Tianming Taoist.
If Taoist Tianming resurrects, he, the so-called traitor of the Taoist sect, will become a Taoist hero in a matter of minutes.
After all, the enemy is still a hero.
As for the nudity mentioned above, he understands this very well.
In the blink of an eye.
Another three years of romance.
Everything in Shunzhou is stable, but compared to previous years, food prices have increased by 20%, and weapons and elixirs have increased by 30%.
By the way.
In the past, Buddhism and Taoism were not allowed to preach in Dali.
Now that the chaos has begun, no one cares about this rule. There are many more wandering Taoists in various tribes and states. Some Taoist temples and Buddhist temples that were destroyed by the dynasty's cavalry have slowly begun to rebuild and rest.
Zhang Heng’s impression.
In the past, there was always a warning slogan under the official list: 'Those who support Buddhism and Taoism have a fifty staff and can travel three thousand miles.'
I don’t know when it started.
Such slogans have disappeared, as if they had never been posted.
in addition.
Lu Sheng has been in seclusion for many years, but the effect is not good.
I want to integrate hundreds of schools of love and create a martial art of my own, but I have never been able to create it, and it only has a prototype so far.
Think before and after.
She was going to go out for a walk. The first stop was Yunwu Mountain where Emperor Li had achieved enlightenment. The second stop was that she wanted to visit Beihai.
Zhang Heng did not stop him.
Instead, Lu Sheng was asked to bring the little tiger with him.
after all.
The little tiger has also grown up a bit, and his cultivation level in the real fairyland is not low at all. He should go out to see the world, and he can't stay at home all day and play with his trouser legs.
How outrageous.
"Fourth uncle, please take care of yourself."
Lu Sheng was dressed in smart clothes and carrying a bamboo basket on his back.
The little tiger lay on the edge of the bamboo basket, waving its little paws reluctantly, and said goodbye to Zhang Heng together: "Zhang Heng, let's go practice."
Zhang Heng waved his hand gently without any reluctance.
He is not comparable to those with great supernatural powers who can illuminate thousands of worlds with just one thought.
But only under the Zhongqian Realm.
With his flying immortal body and space magical power, he can go anywhere with just one step.
In addition, the two of them have the spatial imprint he has laid on them. Whether it is Yunwu Mountain or Beihai, in terms of distance, in his eyes, it is no different from the Tiger King Town at the foot of the mountain.
"The children are all grown up."
Looking at the back of Lu Sheng carrying a bamboo basket down the mountain.
Brother Zhang stood aside, his face full of reluctance.
Hear and grow up.
Zhang Heng thought of his eldest brother's son Zhang Luo again and asked, "Second brother, how is Zhang Luo doing now?"
"Zhang Luo."
The second brother looked a little dark and said in a low voice: "He is already six years old, but I am watching this child."
There was a slight pause in his tone, and he composed his words: "I seem a little dazed."
"stay?"
Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment.
"yes."
The second brother told the truth: "After half a month in Enlightenment School, the teacher taught him 80 words. I tested him, but he didn't recognize half of them."
"And my comprehension ability is relatively poor. I just listen to some allusions and the like, but I don't know anything else."
"I also asked other children. They all had their own ideas, but he didn't. His face was blank."
Well
Zhang Heng was also speechless.
Fifteen days, eighty words, recognize five or six words every day.
Is it much?
Not much, I remember when he was in elementary school, he had to learn seven or eight words every day.
Except rote memorization.
Neither is comprehension.
This is more difficult to do.
In The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Guo Jing appears to be stupid, but in fact he has extraordinary understanding.
A set of Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, you can learn it by watching Hong Qigong play it once. This is the key to his future ability to become a great knight.
If your understanding is not good enough.
Confucianism, martial arts, Buddhism, Taoism.
There is basically no practice. In other words, it means: 'The qualifications are too poor and not suitable for practice.'
"Go and call Zhang Luo, and I'll ask him."
Zhang Heng suppressed his thoughts and gave instructions to the little demon beside him.
"Yes, sir."
The little demon turned into the wind and flew away, disappearing in an instant.
After a while.
The demon wind returns.
He brought not only Zhang Luo, but also his sister-in-law Liu.
"Second uncle."
"Four, fourth uncle"
Looking at Zhang Heng and Brother Zhang.
Ms. Liu kept her child close to her, with a worried look on her face.
"We are all family members, don't be afraid."
Zhang Heng waved his hand.
The next second, Mrs. Liu appeared directly in the wind pavilion, looking around with a confused expression.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Heng's tone became softer and he said softly: "Sister-in-law, I heard from my second brother that Zhang Luo's studies are not going very well?"
Hear the sound.
Ms. Liu's face instantly turned white, and she stuttered: "The child is more playful, he will, he will get better."
Zhang Heng did not answer this, but looked at Zhang Luo.
Enter the eyes.
Zhang Luo had a runny nose and was wandering, looking like a silly young man from a landlord's family.
Mrs. Liu saw this.
After giving him a hard squeeze, Zhang Luo came to his senses and said timidly: "Nephew Zhang Luo, here, pay your respects to your two uncles."
well
Zhang Heng didn't say much.
But normally, a six-year-old child is in the first grade of primary school.
IQ should be eighty-five.
Where is Zhang Luo?
He looked only sixty, so he was not particularly stupid, but he definitely had nothing to do with being smart. He just looked blank. No wonder others could read and write eighty words in half a month, but Zhang Luo only knew half of them.
"How can there be so many smooth sailings when a real man is alive?"
Zhang Heng didn't care about this, and just said to Mrs. Liu: "Sister-in-law, please worry more about your child's studies. Later I will ask my second brother to invite a teacher to come back and teach him more."
"It doesn't matter if he can't learn it. We don't expect him to win the top prize. He can read and write basic characters and just read an account book. There is no need to put too much pressure on him."
Zhang Heng originally wanted to test Zhang Luo.
Seeing Zhang Luo's appearance, he decided to forget it, because people can't find fault for themselves, and being angry and happy is not really happy.
"Four, fourth uncle"
Before leaving.
Mrs. Liu pinched Zhang Luo's arm again.
His eyes filled with tears as he stuttered and said: "I, I work very hard, and I will work harder in the future."
Looking at Zhang Luo, he looked scared and frightened.
A picture emerged in Zhang Heng's mind.
in the screen.
The cantilevered beam has a falling head and a tapered thorn.
Memorize the text carefully under Liu's supervision.
But his memory is not good.
Endorse with eyes wide open.
I memorized nothing until the end.
Mrs. Liu beat him hard with a bamboo pole, making him roll and crawl, but he really wasn't lazy, and he also didn't understand how those students who were praised by the teacher could memorize it, and how many beatings they had to take.
"Silly boy."
Come back to your senses.
Zhang Heng touched Zhang Luo's head: "If hard work is effective, those people who face the earth with their backs to the sky will not be the richest people."
"That's not how the world works. Don't work too hard in life. That will hurt your health. You are a good boy. God will not starve you to death."
Finished.
Zhang Heng looked at Liu again: "Don't hit him anymore. If it works, there won't be many champions in the street."
"Let me give you a reassurance pill. When this child grows up, as long as his conduct is not bad, my eldest brother's family property will definitely be handed over to him. Even if my eldest brother's business increases outside,
If there is a spring breeze and there are other children, the Zhang family will not recognize them."
Mrs. Liu was overjoyed and pressed Zhang Luo's head repeatedly.
Because she knows very well that the person in charge of the Zhang family has always been the fourth master who lives in the mountains and is not interested in worldly affairs.
He spoke.
From now on, Zhang Luo will be a direct descendant of the Dafang lineage even if he is not good at writing or martial arts. He no longer has to worry about his men going out to wander around, bringing back a child, and letting them do small things.
"Actually."
"It's okay to be stupid, as long as it's not really stupid."
After Mrs. Liu left with the child, Zhang Heng and his second brother said, "I asked my eldest brother to leave an heir because I wanted to prevent the Zhang family from losing its inheritance. I never expected him to be born without being born or nourished by the earth. He must be vigorous and prosperous."
"
The second brother also understood what Zhang Heng meant.
I just couldn't figure it out, so I asked very strangely: "I or eldest brother, they are all immortals anyway, this kid Zhang Luo"
I didn’t say anything else after that.
But Zhang Heng understood what he wanted to say and said bluntly: "A dragon gives birth to nine sons, which one will become a dragon."
"As a child, you must understand the mediocrity of your parents, and as a parent, you must understand the mediocrity of your children."
"Furthermore, with the original luck and destiny of the Zhang family, that is, an ordinary family, to be able to have what it is today is a blessing to the heaven and the earth. How much more can you want to force the faint yellow sky."
Zhang Chixia doesn't understand.
But Zhang Heng understood.
Among the Zhang family brothers, if he had not come down to this realm, his predecessor would have starved to death as a child.
The second brother is the gangster in the town.
The third sister was even worse.
Eighty percent of them were unable to survive due to a famine in a certain year and were sold to wealthy families as concubines.
Only the eldest brother should be like a mini-BOSS.
And he suspected that Brother Zhang, the little boss, was there to gain experience for Lu Sheng.
That's it.
Lu Sheng learned martial arts, which aroused the greed of Brother Zhang, and ended up being killed.
After the big brother comes back.
His eyes were about to burst, and he wanted to avenge Brother Zhang.
Lu Sheng fought monsters all the way, beating the second brother Zhang, and then the eldest brother Zhang, and then involved the Tiandao Sect, shouting: Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river.
As now.
The second brother Zhang became the magistrate, a true fairyland powerful man.
He also accepted Lu Sheng as his apprentice, and he was very high-spirited.
These are all things outside of destiny.
It was Zhang Heng's arrival that changed everything.
otherwise.
Speak from your heart.
His second brother has only inferior qualifications at best, and he will not be able to cultivate a skill for another two hundred years on his own.
Don't talk about becoming an immortal.
You can’t even understand how to be a ghost, and at best you are a weak ghost.
"They say you look old at the age of three."
"Zhang Luo is six years old this year and has already entered school. It looks like this. If he wants to practice in the future,"
The second brother told the truth: "I'm afraid I won't achieve anything, but will waste my time."
"If you can't practice, then you can't practice. It's not bad to be ordinary."
Zhang Heng didn't care about this: "One more thing, Zhang Luo is okay. Counting you and me as my nephew, you and I may pay more attention to it. In the next few generations, a dozen generations, or even hundreds of generations, you will not care about it."
It doesn’t matter how many you get.”
Zhang Heng paused.
He continued: "You and I are both Zhang family members. We have done our duty by not letting the bloodline of the Zhang family be cut off and leaving a lot of property behind."
"As for how the descendants of the family will fare and how they will develop in the future, that depends on them."
"If you have qualifications, you can learn civil and martial arts and enter Buddhism."
"If you can't study well, you can get some land. Whose life is not like this?"
Zhang Heng recalled: "I remember when we were young, the Zhang family didn't even have their own land. Now Anding Mansion is almost called the Zhang Family Mansion. As long as there is no such kind of demon king, the so-called thousand-year-old family can only do ordinary things. You
I have no worries."
Zhang Chixia nodded: "This is true. We have set up a platform for the Zhang family. From now on, even if you don't get along well, you won't get along well. After all, you are better than ordinary people. You can't be dissatisfied."
Zhang Heng also thought the same, and even explained: "I have asked Tang Jian to leave. If it does not die in the future, it will protect the Zhang family for thirty thousand years and prevent it from being exterminated and humiliated."
"That's pretty much what we should do."
"If nothing else happens, I will leave in three hundred years. Mengmeng and Shengsheng will go to the upper world with me, where there will be a more spacious stage."
"At home, it's all up to you. As long as we don't pick sides randomly, the True Immortal family will be able to prosper for thousands of years. In addition, before I leave, I will leave you with some tricks to suppress the situation. No matter how chaotic the world is, there will be no chaos.
Come to this three-thirds of an acre."
The second brother nodded again.
Didn't say anything more
See him like this.
Zhang Heng added: "You and I are at ease, but I'm afraid the eldest brother's side may not be stable. I guess that he may be mixed up with Tiandao Sect at this time. In the future, if he comes to see you, please tell me
Go out and help him, and remember to refuse directly."
"Of course, I'm not leaving tomorrow. Let's take a look and see who is fooling my elder brother into thinking he is a fool." At this point, Zhang Heng smiled in many places on his face: "When the time comes, I will extract his soul.
Turn him into a ghost so that he will never be reincarnated forever."
Gu!!
The second brother swallowed hard.
It's not like he hasn't seen evil people before.
But when it comes to evil, there is really no one like his fourth brother, who can make his scalp numb with just one word.
Look at Zhang Heng’s smiling face.
Brother Zhang was very happy that this was his fourth brother and not his opponent.
Opponent's words.
He believed that Zhang Heng's methods must be very cruel, because the longer the contact time, the more he could understand the indifference of Zhang Heng's character.
In the eyes of such people, life is just a number on a book.
But look back.
Brother Zhang's heart is very hot.
Even if Zhang Heng has 10,000 bad things.
One thing is definitely good.
That means caring about the people around you.
Although he did not find out where Guanjiangkou was.
But since Zhang Heng talked about the upper realm, he wanted to recommend Lu Sheng to go to Guanjiangkou to practice. I thought it would be an excellent place.
future.
It is impossible to say that, as the fourth child said, Lu Sheng made a name for himself in the upper world, was awarded the title of heavenly official, a god general, etc., and could even take him to the upper world to enjoy the blessings. Thinking about it makes me a little excited.
