Strictly speaking, Grandmaster Protector of the Country is not an official position, but an honorary title.
In the entire 360-year history of the Qin Empire, no more than ten people had received this title.
But each one is a fairyland on land.
The most legendary among them is the first Grandmaster of National Protection. According to legend, Taizu was the personal guard of Taizu.
Live the life of great grandfather.
Among them, the Battle of Poyang Lake where Taizu finally determined the world. At that time, Taizu made a desperate move and tried his best to encircle and suppress the enemy's large army, leaving his own rear empty. The enemy's army was led by three land masters from the Immortal Realm, carrying 260 first-class soldiers.
Experts and thousands of elite soldiers surrounded Taizu. At that time, Taizu only had a few hundred personal guards around him.
But in this battle, the Protector of the Country, together with the Grand Ancestor, killed a land fairy, crippled one, and seriously injured another, causing the entire opponent's army to be wiped out, and they forced their way out of such a desperate situation.
After this battle, the situation in the Qin Dynasty was a foregone conclusion, and the Grandmaster who protected the country was also recognized as the best master in the world.
The first Grandmaster of the National Protection raised his voice to the ceiling, and the eleven who succeeded him were all top-notch and most famous masters. Otherwise, they would have been embarrassed to have this title.
As for the twelfth Grandmaster of the National Protection, this position has been vacant for sixty years.
It has been so long that many people have forgotten the existence of this title.
For example, Gong Huiyu, who doesn't care about politics at all, heard about it for the first time.
"Grand Protector of the Country?"
Gong Huiyu frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid he has no interest."
Gong Huiyu knew him well, and he was not interested in anything other than strengthening the White Lotus Sect and restoring the White Lotus Sect's teachings to subvert the Qin regime.
There was another thing I did before, and that was practicing Qigong.
But as he became the youngest land god known within the territory of Da Qin, he no longer had any interest in practicing martial arts.
How to take the road beyond this realm? No one has taken that step for thousands of years.
There may be masters who have gone out of the hidden world, but according to common knowledge, there is no realm above the land gods.
"Whether he is interested or not is his business. You only need to be responsible for helping me bring the message to him."
Li Chen is not afraid that the leader of the White Lotus Sect will not agree.
An honorary title from the imperial court may be looked down upon by casual cultivators or secluded masters, but big sects such as Buddhism, Taoism and the White Lotus Sect, with religious beliefs, would never let go of such an opportunity.
You must know that nearly 80% of the past twelve Grand Masters of the National Protector were members of the Taoist sect, and the rest were members of the Buddhist sect who were used to balance the Taoist sect.
This title is of no use to others, but for developing the sect and promoting the faith, it is simply a magical tool.
The White Lotus Sect is extremely ambitious and must be guarded against.
The struggle between Buddhism and Taoism is also a battle of faith and incense. In order to strengthen themselves, they need to please the court. The court is the secular king. Whoever the court suppresses will be unable to recover.
But the White Lotus Sect is different.
This organization had only one purpose from the beginning, to subvert the Qin regime.
Before today, Li Chen, like most people, wished he could destroy the White Lotus Sect immediately.
But after today, he changed his mind. The White Lotus Sect can also be used by me.
In my ears, I seem to be hearing the earnest teachings of Emperor Daxing: The emperor's pattern is to play a game of chess in the whole world. No matter who or what it is, there must be different methods from different angles. For the same person and the same thing, change it.
From a different perspective, bad things can turn into good things, and good things can turn into bad things.
In previous lives, great men also said something similar: Look at everything with a dialectical approach.
