Five hundred and twentieth eight chapters inner demon
Zuo Ci let go of Zhang Laodao's headless corpse, and Shi Shiran said, "This man is actually not a bad person at first, and he has quite a lot of Taoism."
Li Yu has always felt that there is no defining standard for good people and bad people. Good people can be very bad, and bad people sometimes have good intentions.
But whether the leprosy-headed monk was eroded by the Chi Shi or was just his nature, he was really bad in the later stages.
Zuo Ci said that this was the first time that someone else had Tao roots.
Li Yuqi asked: "How to say?"
He could see that Zhang Laodao had good qualifications, but if Zuo Cidu praised him, he was not averagely good.
Zuo Ci has lived for too long and has seen too many amazing and talented people, many of whom died halfway.
To be praised by him as a person with good moral roots shows that he was really amazing back then.
"It was first reported to Jia Dairu that the jade keeper of the Jia Mansion was a wealthy young man. He liked his wealthy life and was unwilling to continue this dangerous mission, so he found someone to guard the jade for him. He announced to the outside world that he would become a monk for him.
Serving Buddhism and Taoism, Zhang Laodao of the Jia family has always practiced both Buddhism and Taoism. At that time, he relied on his extremely high understanding and felt that after obtaining the secret method of the Jia family, he would be able to control the inner demons and become both Buddhist and Taoist, so he took the initiative to take this job.
Errand."
Li Yu continued to ask: "What then?"
"Then didn't you see that if he wasn't controlled by Chi Shi, how could his head explode just as he was about to tell the secret?"
Zuo Ci wiped the blood off his face, shook his head and sighed.
He has seen many people die, and even he feels it is a pity that there are not many at the moment.
Li Yu took a breath, this thing was too evil, he frowned and said: "The Sky-Building Stone is so powerful, why didn't there be any reaction when Fu Financial combined with the Greed Stone? And I had the Greed Stone in my hand at the time
, but it took me three or four years.”
Zuo Ci glanced at him and said, "Thank you for claiming to be the descendant of Jiutian Xuannv. Think about whose hands Greedy Stone was in before."
"Empress?"
"That's right, what kind of cultivation is the Nine Heavens Xuannv Empress? She is a true immortal in the ninth life. Every life is a great perfection. You and I are just loose immortals in one life, and we already feel that our cultivation has reached its peak. Even so, in the ninth life, she
Under the influence of Tan Shi, she once wanted to ascend the throne and become the Emperor of the People. However, she is a ninth-generation true immortal, and in her long life, most of the demonic nature of Tan Shi was worn away."
Li Yu swallowed his saliva and rubbed away most of his demonic nature, which allowed him to almost lose his Taoist heart at that time.
The Sky-Mending Stone was really powerful, and Li Yu suddenly thought of another person, or monkey.
"Where's Sun Wukong?"
"What kind of temper did Sun Wukong have before he caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace?" Zuo Ci said with a gloating smile: "He was imprisoned in the alchemy furnace by Taishang Laojun and practiced for ninety-nine and eighty-one days. Why do you think that was? It was really just...
Did he make elixirs? If it were true, with Lao Jun’s magical power, he could be turned into ashes in one day."
Li Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead. He really underestimated these three sky-repairing stones.
He frowned and asked: "The stone of greed was refined by the empress, the stone of hatred was refined by Laojun, where is the stone of foolishness?"
"Not practicing"
Li Yu said seriously: "Let's go to the Flame Mountain, the sooner the better."
Zuo Ci smiled and said: "That's a good feeling!" After saying that, he was about to tear apart time and space, but was grabbed by Li Yu.
"I thought about it and decided not to give up halfway, because you have no grudge against Chi Shi, and I have nothing to do with it. There is no way to escape."
Zuo Ci said: "Have you ever thought about what you are going to do with it even if we find it?"
"I practice by myself," Li Yu said confidently.
He was not joking, he really had this intention. Although the Chi Stone was powerful, there would always be someone to refine it, otherwise it would be infected all over the world and become a zombie siege of the Six Dynasties version.
"In the end, it's just a stone, and it can turn against the heavens."
Zuo Ci looked at Li Yu as if he were a fool, and the latter chuckled lightly, "This is what people say about doing one's duty. Who makes me a great and wise teacher?"
Li Yu stood facing the wind with his hands behind his back, looking like a master.
Zuo Ci was in a daze. If the man in front of him was not very familiar to him and he knew his true nature clearly, Zuo Ci would have believed it.
The reason why he almost believed it was because the previous successors of Taiping Dao, namely the Daliang Sage, were really that kind of people.
If they sacrifice themselves, they can save the common people, and they will sacrifice themselves without hesitation. Some people may hate the Great Master because they threaten the interests of many people, but no one will slander their character.
Is this the one in front of you?
It seems like an accident.
"Are you?"
"Isn't it?"
Zuo Ci touched his nose and said, "It's okay, I'll just ask if you are okay."
His white beard was curled up and up, and he grinned with his teeth bared in a mean manner, which made people want to punch him in the eye.
Zuo Ci smiled and said: "If you have this ambition, then you should come with us to find Lao Niu. After all, the fire in the Flame Mountain is used to refine this thing. Although the Angry Stone and the Chi Stone are different,
They are all Sky-Mending Stones, so there won’t be much difference if you think about it.”
Li Yu did not follow his words, but just evaded: "Let's finish the things here first."
"Do you really want to fight them to the death?"
Li Yu replied angrily: "I'm different from you. You guys are cunning and carefree. I have a lot of disciples here. If I run away, they won't let the people around me go."
The current situation is still unclear, as if there are layers of fog, making people at a loss.
But what is certain is that everything revolves around this crazy stone. He must start with the Jia family, the Jade Keeper, to completely dispel this fog.
"Shall we go directly to Jia Baoyu?"
Zuo Ci shook his head and said, "Stop alarming others."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Take the fire under the cauldron and go to the palace." Zuo Ci said with a smile: "The Jade Guard Jia's family may have fallen. When the housekeeper and the guardian of the courtyard become thieves, that is the most difficult thing to guard against. I think this palace change will definitely
With their participation, they have known about your repeated appearances in Aurous Ling. Why don't we do the opposite, they all think you are in Aurous Ling, and we will rush to the palace to catch him off guard."
Li Yu's eyes lit up. This idea was quite reliable. I'm afraid that the whole of Jinling was secretly observing now, so he went directly to Yanjing.
The last time he went to Yanjing, he came back without success. In fact, he planned to hug Dao Yan's thigh that time, but he was hugged instead.
If he hadn't gone, Dao Yan would probably have been lost in Yanjing. He had been fighting with people in the Ming Dynasty all his life, and now that he had touched the cake of a vested interest group, he was almost inevitably killed.
It can be seen that when acting in the Six Dynasties, one must be cautious and weigh the pros and cons repeatedly. If you are not careful, you may die.
Because there are so many fierce men in the Six Dynasties, isn't Monk Daoyan powerful? He is also in danger of dying suddenly, and it's still on his base.
Li Yu secretly reminded himself that when he went to Yanjing, he could not be blindly arrogant. When he came to Jinling, he made this mistake, thinking that no one in Jinling could cure him, so he acted very arrogantly and was not low-key at all.
We can't act like this when we go to Yanjing this time. If we handle it well, we might be able to win over Daming.
Li Yu nodded and looked at Zuo Ci excitedly, who took a step back and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Senior, let's go quickly, I can't wait any longer."
Zuo Ci pouted and said, "You can take me for a ride in the air."
"Don't you just pass it over?"
"It's very energy-consuming. It's so far from Jinling to Yanjing, and my magic power isn't enough." Zuo Ci immediately looked weak and pretended to cough.
"You don't know, except for running for my life, I usually don't do anything."
Li Yu moved his fingers, and the two people jumped into the air. He asked angrily: "Then why do you always pass it over to me every time you see your senior?"
Zuo Ci smiled awkwardly, "Aren't you running for your life every time?"
Li Yu flew faster and faster, and soon the two of them arrived near Gyeonggi Province, far away from Yanjing City, and Li Yu landed.
Zuo Ci took a look and said, "It's not here yet."
Li Yu nodded and said, "To be careful, let's go into the city."
Yanjing City is still bustling during the day, but at night, it is incomparable with Bianliang.
Bianliang and Chang'an were both famous cities that never slept in the Six Dynasties, and there were many people on the streets in the middle of the night.
Most of them are drunken pleasure seekers, and some rogues have settled in.
After Li Yu entered the city, he sighed: "Last time I came, I was greeted by the Jin Yiwei, and the Honglu Temple opened the way. It's so beautiful and decent. Senior, should we go in directly or wait until night?"
"There's no hurry!"
Zuo Ci waved his hand and said, "I haven't been to Yanjing for a long time. Come on, I'll take you to eat something good."
Yanjing, Xiaoyongfang, Huichang alley.
All the most powerful people in the dynasty lived here. Yang Shiqi, the prince's young master and the great scholar of Huagaidian, was a little lost in his thoughts in the mansion and sighed.
An old family member ran in with a panicked look and reported breathlessly: "Old...Master, Wang"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a burst of sharp and hoarse laughter, "We are here uninvited, and I take the liberty to pay you a visit. If there is any nuisance, please let Mr. Hai of Fuwang Pavilion take care of you."
"Your Majesty and Ti Shuaiyu have condescended to you and come here to make your humble abode shine. How dare you be disrespectful?"
Yang Shiqi held up his hand as a courtesy. Although his words were polite, his tone was very bad.
Recently, there have been many battles between the officials of the Empress Dowager's line and the new dignitaries. As a minister of the Five Dynasties, Yang Shiqi was the person everyone wanted to win over.
But he was an upright man, never willing to form a party for personal gain, and always managed the country conscientiously.
Although he is not as famous as other important prime ministers of the Five Dynasties such as Zhuge Liang, Fang Xuanling, Zhou Yu and others, he can be regarded as a rare virtuous prime minister in the Six Dynasties.
Although the Ming Dynasty did not have the official position of prime minister, Yang Shiqi was the head of the cabinet and could be regarded as the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.
The eunuch in front of him is Wang Zhen, the most favored minister of the new emperor, and standing next to him is the newly appointed commander of the Jin Yiwei, Ma Shun.
Liu Mian was a close confidant of Monk Dao Yan and had died long ago. Soon Wang Zhen helped Ma Shun up.
Wang Zhen, who was wearing casual clothes, didn't take it seriously, returned the gift with a smile, and stepped in. Fanzi behind Ma Shun placed the two large food boxes he was carrying on the tables.
"What do you mean, Eunuch Wang?"
"I have heard for a long time that Mr. Yang Ge is an upright and honest official. Whenever guests arrive, he often invites his wife with calligraphy and wine to entertain the guests. Today, our family came unexpectedly. How can I trouble a worthy couple with my shameless face?"
Yang Shiqi didn't expect that they were here to eat, let alone that they brought all the food and wine.
Even if it was a refusal, it was hard to say it. Yang Shiqi waved his hand and motioned to the housekeeper to arrange it.
Soon, the banquet was neatly arranged and the three of them were seated.
Wang Zhen raised a glass of wine and said: "This is the first glass of wine that our family respects. Mr. Xie Ge worked hard and worked hard all his life for the Ming Dynasty, assisting the five dynasties." After saying this, he drank it all.
Yang Shiqi didn't expect that this guy would sing praises as soon as he came up, and he said it so loudly, and he had some bad premonitions in his heart.
After drinking with him, he sighed softly and said with a lazy expression, "I eat the emperor's salary and share the worries for the emperor. How can I say thank you, let alone say I am tired."
"Ge Lao Gao Jie." Wang Zhen smiled slightly, filled another glass of wine and raised it, "Ge Lao has been loyal to the country for many years, has a good reputation, has worked for the people, and benefited the common people. Is this the second cup?
On behalf of the people of Li, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Ge."
"Serving as an official is a blessing. I am in the cabinet. This is my duty. It is all due to the wise monarchs of the Ming Dynasty. I dare not be greedy for the merits of heaven." Yang Shiqi raised his glass and said solemnly.
Wang Zhen played with the wine cup, thoughtfully, pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Eunuch..." Ma Shun reminded him as the banquet ended in silence.
Wang Zhen regained his thoughts, raised his neck and drank it all. He poured out the third glass of wine and said, "This glass of wine is given to your Majesty by our family. I have a lot of talent in my belly, and I am at the top of the list. I should show it to you."
What I have learned is to relieve the country's difficulties and relieve the king's worries."
Yang Shiqi finally understood that the eunuch in front of him was interested in his position as chief assistant.
He came with such a big fanfare and everything he said was good, but Yang Shiqi was a veteran of the Five Dynasties and had already heard it clearly.
This guy was relying on the emperor's power to drive him away. He kept saying that he had worked hard for half his life, but he subconsciously meant that it was time to rest.
Especially in the last game, Wang Zhen reminded himself in a subtle way that this might be the emperor's intention.
Yang Shiqi sighed and said: "I have submitted my resignation..."
Wang Zhen looked happy. He and Ma Shun looked at each other. Yang Shiqi was about to leave. The Empress Dowager would have broken an arm.
He quickly patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Ge, your Majesty can clearly see the talent and loyalty of the officials you left behind, and will definitely continue to reuse them."
Just when he finished speaking, a clear voice came from outside: "Today's officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is full of civility and martial arts, and the corpses are eating plain food. The princes of Gonggun are wearing bright clothes and angry horses, and they have noble crowns and noble families, but they only know good land and beautiful houses, and children.
Jade and silk, putting the safety of the country at risk
, this big world looks like flowers and brocade, and the fire is cooking oil, but in fact, the fire is gathering fuel, and people are frightened everywhere. The blood stains outside Bianliang City have not dried yet, and the smoke of Kaifeng Prefecture is still there. A lesson from the past, a teacher behind the wheel, Mr. Yang Ge.
Will you feel at ease when you return home?"
Wang Zhen's face changed drastically, and he said gloomily: "Yu Qian, you don't have the right to speak here!"
