The battle began first on the shore of Lake Mochou. The men and horses on both sides could not distinguish each other, so they had to shout loudly.
Zhu Biao's side shouted "The Ming Dynasty is orthodox!", and the people from Jinling's wealthy families all shouted "Protect the emperor and protect him".
The people on Zhu Biao's side were originally rough and tumble, but as word spread, some people who loved Prince Yiwen volunteered to join the war.
At this time, not long after the fall of the Han Dynasty, there were Han survivors everywhere, and the martial and aggressive atmosphere of the Han Dynasty had not completely dissipated.
Slowly, more and more people gathered in Jinling, as well as the eminent monks from Tianjie Temple. Once they joined the battle, the situation suddenly turned one-sided.
Zhu Biao, Li Yu's protector, returned to Xiaoling. He did not expect that the resistance he encountered was so strong.
Inside the Xiaoling Mausoleum, the people guarding this place were the Zhou family named by Emperor Hongwu himself. Zhou Xi came with several nephews and cried bitterly after seeing Zhu Biao.
Since the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, they have been guarding the Xiaoling Mausoleum. No one knows better than them that this Zhu Biao is real. They also knew that the Taizu used the whole country to spare the life of the prince.
The reason why many people believe in Zhu Biao is because so many talents gathered in this matter that it was impossible to hide it. So as soon as Zhu Biao appeared, everyone was excited, thinking that Taizu would be able to defeat the Ming Dynasty after all by gathering the power of the Ming Dynasty.
For God’s sake.
Zhou Xi knelt down and clasped his fists and said, "We, the Royal Guards, are willing to fight to the death for His Highness."
Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Xiaoling Mausoleum has one main gate in the east and one in the north, and three corner gates. After discussing with Yu Qian, Li Yu and Yu Qian decided to seal all the gates except the main gate in the east.
People were stationed in the gate tower of the main entrance and the towers on both sides of the door. The people brought by Xu Hongru and Kou Baimen were divided into two groups. One group rested in the gate tower, and the other group stood guard in front of the door, taking turns to be on duty.
Then select a few who are good at archery from the royal tomb guards, climb up to the tower in front of the gate, and guard the gate from a high position.
The dark crowd surrounded him from all directions, and Li Yu gradually realized that something was wrong.
Yu Qian stood behind him and saw that he was silent, knowing that something must be discovered.
He took a step forward and asked, "Taoist?"
Li Yu said: "There is something wrong with these people. There is a layer of spiritual power above their heads. This spiritual power is something I have never seen before."
He stretched out his finger and flicked it in front of Yu Qian's eyes. When Yu Qian looked at the people and horses under the city again, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
I saw a layer of light mist above the heads of the soldiers. The mist was a strange purple-black color. If you look closely, it was connected to each person's head.
Yu Qian was worried in his heart. Sure enough, there were powerful forces involved in this matter. These people did not care about the aura of the emperor at all. If the emperor was prosperous in the past, they would naturally not be afraid. But now that the imperial family is declining, if they are
If you succeed, the consequences will be disastrous.
Li Yu moved his fingers and pulled up a stream of black energy. The black energy he pulled out left the head of a soldier. The soldier who was roaring a second ago suddenly became confused.
He glanced around, his expression dull and at a loss.
"I asked why so many people are fighting for them."
He held a wisp of black energy, and suddenly felt a familiar feeling. Li Yu sighed, "It's the stupid stone in the Sky-Mending Stone that is causing trouble."
"Tian Mending Stone?"
Li Yu has been with Tan Shi for a long time and is very familiar with this kind of breath, which can affect people's minds.
Yu Qian was stunned. He knew about the Sky-Mending Stone. There were countless versions of the Sky-Mending Stone. What Yu Qian heard was that Zhang Jiao, a giant pirate at the end of the Han Dynasty, broke the barrier between heaven and earth, which caused the spiritual energy to leak out and there were countless powerful people in the world.
Heaven immediately sent people to mend the sky, but for some unknown reason, three of them were not used, so they were left in the world.
Since then, although there were strong men emerging in the Six Dynasties, none of the rising stars could surpass their predecessors.
Because the spiritual energy was blocked again, during this gap period, too many powerful people were born in the world.
Li Yu rose into the air, followed this spiritual power, and instantly arrived at a high tower.
There is a big bell on the top of the tower, and there is a young man sitting under the bell. Li Yu recognized him at a glance.
"It's you."
Zhen Baoyu said with a smile: "I said you were holding on, because it turns out you wanted to get the throne."
Li Yu smiled and said: "To each other."
Zhen Baoyu said: "Can you be like me? I advise you to stop. Otherwise, you don't need me to help you recall what happened to your predecessors."
Li Yu was unmoved and continued to follow his words. It would be easy for him to lead him into a trap. Li Yu knew these sky-mending stones best and their trump card was to deceive people.
"I want to know, are you the one who opened up your spiritual wisdom through the Chi Stone, or are you the one who refined the Chi Stone?"
Zhen Baoyu smiled and said: "You should know my name by listening to it, right? This Ming Dynasty has long been my world!"
"Zhen Baoyu is really a precious jade. It seems that you are the stone that opened your spiritual wisdom. You also jumped out of the stone. Why aren't you a monkey?"
Zhen Baoyu's expression changed and she cursed: "Don't mention that monkey."
Is there a chain of contempt for the Sky-Mending Stone? Li Yu also knows why the Sky-Mending Stone was so popular in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang forcibly changed his life for the sake of his beloved son. Isn't this a kind of "madness"?
In this obsession, he may very well have taken advantage of the stone, which caused the stone to become more and more arrogant in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty he said has long been his world, which probably means that he controls the Jinling wealthy family. In fact,
After controlling the Ming Dynasty, no wonder the trend of extravagance reached the Ming Dynasty, just like cheating, it was completely unstoppable.
"The scabby monk and the lame Taoist priest are your pawns, aren't they?" Li Yu asked with a gloomy face. It seems that all the troubles in the Ming Dynasty were caused by this stone.
Zhen Baoyu shook his head and said: "We are not chess pieces, we are cooperative. They are also people with great luck and great wisdom. They should have achieved greatness and transcended the world, but it is a pity that they met a monster like you.
My fate has become blurry, and I died in your hands in the end."
"You bird people, for the sake of what you do, you must bring trouble to the world." Li Yu frowned and said: "The method is so sinister, what kind of nonsense can it be?"
"Hahahaha." Zhen Baoyu seemed to have heard some joke, pointing at Li Yu and said: "You don't think you know the Dao of Heaven and Earth better than me, do you? In the rules of Heaven and Earth, we are the orthodox ones, you and those behind you
The Tao of Taiping is a heresy."
"According to you, harming people is the right way and saving people is the wrong way?"
Zhen Baoyu nodded, "Yes, you are also a human being, and you have lived for so long. You should know how stinky the human heart is, how ugly human nature is, bustling with people, no one's human heart can withstand the test. If you want to be in the world,
To achieve Taoism in this world, naturally one should not rely on ordinary people's emotions and desires to become a god. You and Taiping Dao's ridiculous and pitiful compassion are simply a big joke."
