The stars are densely covered, the twin moons are invisible, a torch is hung outside the pavilion, and a candle is lit on the stone table. Three people who can be regarded as the masters of the world sit across the table from each other. Occasionally, the summer wind surges and shakes
The torch outside the pavilion flickered, but it could not move the candlelight inside the pavilion at all.
Not only that, there are cicadas chirping constantly around, and the heat is obvious, but under the pavilion, it is pleasantly cold and hot, and it is difficult to tell the difference between spring and autumn.
The three of them were obviously reserved, and they only made a brief introduction. Before exchanging pleasantries, they seemed to be restrained, as if they had something on their minds.
However, Xiong Bonan is obviously a big-hearted person. After probably sensing that the atmosphere was inappropriate, he simply asked: "Senior Liu Yunhe, does he have something serious to talk to us about? If it's embarrassing, I'll just step aside for a moment."
"The Purple Faced King is overthinking." Xie Minghe immediately laughed bitterly after hearing this. "How can I, an idle man, do anything serious? This time I come here, it is nothing more than a pool of stagnant water in the east of the Yangtze River, but it gets tighter every day.
I didn’t know what I was doing, I didn’t know what to do, so I suddenly turned around and heard that my virtuous brother had created a big situation here in the East Territory, so I came to take a look."
"That's it." Xiong Bonan nodded, relaxed a little, and continued to ask seriously. "I wonder what the situation in Jiangdong is like? How can it be called a pool of stagnant water?"
"It's boring to be suppressed." Xie Minghe no longer smiled bitterly, but his tone became deeper and deeper. "The Holy Master returned to Jiangdu, shouting that everything should be simplified, but if you give more offerings, you will be promoted, and if you don't make offerings, you will be dismissed.
Do you understand? This year, the people below were worshiping excessively, and then they were constantly recruiting boys and girls from the people to enter the palace. In addition, they were levying gold, silver, wealth, silk and grain from various states and counties to fill the palace. Therefore, the mountainous areas north of Nanling and southeast of the Yangtze River were almost immediately
A rebel army rose up.
"After the rebel army rose up, it was once overwhelming, but the imperial court actually sent two masters there. General Yu was in the east and General Tuwan was in the west. They immediately started fighting and winning in succession. But for some reason, the officers and soldiers were always able to
Even though they won, the rebels always kept rising and rising, and in the end it turned out to be a see-saw situation.
"But now, the counties east of the Yangtze River are suffering even more... In the front, Jiangdu is condescending, and there are also grand masters and heavy soldiers stationed there. Behind them, there are two grand masters who have led their troops to garrison. They are tightly squeezed, but both sides are asking for it.
There is no need for material supplies, food and grass, gold, silver, wealth, and a healthy population. The soldiers and the people are miserable."
"It's no wonder." Xiong Bonan thought for a while and couldn't help but sympathize. "That's the truth... there are so many masters, masters of elixirs, and elixir condensations in the imperial court, and there are so many elite troops, but they don't have the strength.
On the contrary, the oppression is getting better and better day by day, isn't it a pool of stagnant water? However, are those rebels so powerful that the two grandmasters are not afraid?"
"Theoretically speaking, the people's hearts do not belong to Wei." Xie Minghe continued. "When the army advances, the rebel army retreats, and when the army retreats, the rebel army advances. And between the advance and retreat, although there is victory or defeat, more soldiers and people rise up in droves, which makes the rebel army repeat.
Repeated defeats lead to strength. However, there are other sayings..."
"What about?" Zhang Xing also became curious.
"For example, some people say that the two generals Yu and Tuwan saw the chaos in the world and intended to preserve their strength..."
"is that true?"
"I don't think so. Before I came, Han was leading the army westward. Jiangdu was furious, made many personnel arrangements, and issued many bans. General Yu also immediately asked Jiangdu for land and housing in Jiangdong, and General Tuwan had just
After winning a battle, he immediately gave all the treasures of the captives to Jiangdu, how can he look like an ignorant person?"
"That's true." Zhang Xing sneered. "But I don't think anyone will believe it."
"I hope so." Xie Minghe sighed with emotion and continued. "In addition, some people say that it is because the two grandmasters are controlled by the two great masters..."
"The Madonna of Nanling and the King of Medicine who retired from the True Fire Cult? Did they take action?" Zhang Xing was greatly surprised. "When the Grand Master moves, it means that the world is in chaos, right?"
"How can the Grand Master take action so easily? The Grand Master is most powerful when he doesn't take action, and when he takes action, he just acts like that." Xie Minghe nodded and explained seriously. "But the officers and soldiers are not in a good position due to the reputation and power of the Notre Dame.
Everyone knows that they pursue the rebels in Nanling without permission, and the rebels are really defeated. It is normal to escape into Nanling and come back again... I think it is the Nanling Notre Dame who did not fall out with the court at this time.
Meaning, but he actually helped the rebels, right? As for the Medicine King, how many years has he been in a relationship with the True Fire Sect, and the True Fire Sect is closely related to the rebels, so he suddenly appeared somewhere, officials
Some troops are worried about a complete defeat and are afraid to go there."
"There is nothing to say about this, but in essence it is more like being controlled by the forces under the two great masters." Zhang Xing sighed and suddenly asked a technical question. "I have always been curious... The old lady of Nanling was the master of the throne.
The master is simple and easy to understand, but how did the Medicine King achieve his throne? Was it because of the True Fire Cult? But if it was because of the True Fire Cult, why did he quit?"
"If you ask others about this, it may not be clear. I do know some secrets."
Wandering around, basically all the masters in the south knew each other, and several of them confirmed a statement to each other, that is, the King of Medicine left the True Fire Sect that day precisely because the True Fire Sect did not have the ability to support the certification of a great master...
The reason why Medicine King was able to take another step forward and successfully become a great master is precisely because he extended his kindness widely after leaving the True Fire Sect, setting up thousands of gold pillars everywhere, teaching everyone how to treat major illnesses and minor illnesses with the idea that human life is more important than a thousand gold coins.
To prevent disasters and prevent epidemics, everyone says that those pillars with medicinal prescriptions and epidemic prevention methods engraved on them are his towers!"
Xiong Bonan is still puzzled, but Zhang Xing has nodded repeatedly. This explanation is very correct... From current observations, the appearances of each level on the path of cultivation are completely different, but in essence they are still "enlightenment".
It is a sublimation from the inside to the outside, from the individual to the group, from the body to the idea.
The vitality of heaven and earth here is more like acting as a means or a tool.
As for reaching the level of a grand master, if you want to establish a pagoda and achieve the throne, you do not have to have a clear physical organizational force, let alone a specific military and political organization, but should be an expression of group influence. However, Uncle Cao Huang, Dong
The Governor of Yi, the Grand Lady of Nanling, Master Jin Ge, the Grand Commander in the north, the owner of Yao Island, including Master Bai Yousi, these relatively active and obvious great masters have too much political, military and religious influence.
It's obvious, so it gives people an illusion.
It seems that after reaching that level of cultivation, it is still a pure expression of force.
"So, personal cultivation is personal cultivation. But starting from condensation, if you want to ascend to the throne, you have to talk about luck." Xie Minghe's understanding is obviously different from Zhang Xing. "That's exactly the case,
I have noticed Brother Xian for a long time. There are many masters of elixir condensation in the Eastern Region this year, right?"
"Quite a few." Zhang Xing didn't hide anything. "The Dragon Gang and the Qilu army joined forces. Within a year, the number of people who condensed the pills should be in double figures. It was only in the battle of Lishan that they killed three or four more."
"The army of Qilu was defeated, and your deposed Dragon Gang is about to rampage across the Eastern Territory. By that time, luck will gather again, and I'm afraid the tide will rise."
Far less than those in the East, but there are still several masters of condensing pills suddenly appearing, matching the scale of the local turmoil and the victory or defeat. The good situation of you deposing the Dragon Gang is still to come!"
Zhang Xing was noncommittal and asked on the spot: "So Brother Xie is here to verify his idea?"
Liu Yunhe was silent for a moment, as if he had unfinished words.
Regarding this, Zhang Dalongtou actually had some suspicions in his mind when the other party talked about the situation in Jiangdong... What could it be? He just realized that the world was in chaos and Jiangdong was currently unable to do anything. He also saw that the Deposed Dragon Gang was in full swing and started to rise.
Do you want to work part-time or open a brand franchise store? It's just that the Jiangnan Eight Families are still holding the title, so I can't let go of my airs for a while.
Of course, Zhang Xing thought this in his heart, but on his face he did not force or expose anything. Instead, he turned to look at Xiong Bonan: "King Xiongtian, what are you doing there? Why do you want me to wait for you to see you this time?
What's going on? Is there any urgent military situation?"
"There is no military situation, let alone being anxious." Xiong Bonan came back to his senses, sighed on the spot, and his expression became a little difficult. This was unusual for him. "But this time I took on the responsibility.
After identifying the activities of the rebels, I became increasingly frightened. After going to Ludong, Lunan and Langya this time, I became even more at a loss. Because I know that you are a man who knows the truth, I want to find you to clarify my doubts...
Zhang Longtou laughed."
Zhang Xing nodded, his face unchanged and his heart not beating... He still didn't know that this must be the rapid and widespread degeneration of the rebel army, which caused the psychological discomfort of Xiong Bonan, a man who always values all brothers in the world. But he said nothing.
Why do you want to put it this way, why did you let this purple-faced king do this job when you came out before? Is it because only this person can say some things to avoid unnecessary influence?
As for psychological and business consulting, he is more familiar with this job, and it’s not his first time doing it, and what client wouldn’t give it good reviews?
However, after half a year of separation, the scenery remains the same, but I don’t know how Qin Er is doing now. Did he ever quarrel with Yueniang?
PS: I have to go to the hospital this morning. I don’t usually go out, so I’m already nervous... This chapter is a little short, so I’m asking for leave.
