Time passed day by day, and Wang Gang and Li Yu held a grand wedding.
Li Zhongyi gave a large dowry out of guilt for his daughter, but Wang Gang only gave a betrothal gift.
Xia Tian, the Queen of the Demon Realm.
Before Wang Gang's wedding, Xia Tian finally woke up. After experiencing many illusions, she finally broke through the illusion and successfully broke through the demon realm because of her love for Li Zhongyi.??
??The first thing Xia Tian did after his breakthrough was to personally absorb all the toxins in Li Zhongyi's body into his own body. From then on, Li Zhongyi no longer suffered, but he only suffered from Xia Xia, who fell to the realm due to poisoning just after breaking through to the Demon Realm.
Wang Gang still lied to Xia Tian. He would not die if his cultivation in the Heavenly Demon Realm sucked out toxins, but his realm would inevitably fall to the Cave Xuan Realm.
But both Li Zhongyi and Xia Tian were very satisfied with this. Even Li Yu unlocked new postures for Wang Gang that night after learning that his father's body had recovered.
Although Li Zhongyi has been detoxified, his body has not fully recovered and will need to be recuperated for a long time. However, Wang Gang assured that as long as he is careful not to die unexpectedly, it will not be a big problem for him to live for another twenty or thirty years.
As for Xia Tian, even though she fell into the Heavenly Demon Realm, she can still recover her cultivation as long as the poison is forced out of her body little by little.
After this incident, Li Yu's attitude towards Xia Tian improved a lot. She finally believed that Xia Tian really loved Li Zhongyi, the kind of love that could even give up her own life.
Later, Li Hunyuan entered the court and participated in the government affairs as a prince, sharing Li Zhongyi's worries. Li Yu had less prejudice against Xia Tian.
After Wang Gang got married, he became busy. Not only did he have to take care of the academy, but he also sometimes helped Li Hunyuan with court affairs.
Fortunately, he had the experience of being an emperor, so handling political affairs couldn't be easier. He mainly taught Li Hunyuan government affairs.
Only when he really started to get in touch with national government affairs did Li Hunyuan understand how hard his father worked. The heavy government affairs made Li Hunyuan almost give up several times.
If Li Yu hadn't forcefully forced Li Hunyuan to improve, he might have returned to the state he was in two years ago.
After Ye Hongyu returned to Xiling, he did not publicly announce his apprenticeship, pretending that nothing happened, and stayed in the Judgment Department of Xiling Temple.
It was just that some Xiling Taoist books were secretly passed on to Wang Gang. As for the Heavenly Books, they were kept too tightly. Except for the Japanese scrolls, it would be difficult for Ye Hongyu to access them.
Ever since Ye Su was teleported to Xuankong Temple by Wang Gang, after seeing what happened to those serfs, his world view began to reset, and he had no time to care about his sister's affairs.
As the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation of the Taoist sect, Zhi Shou Watches the World, Ye Su's previous contacts were with upper-class figures and he rarely understood the sufferings of the common people.
Even though he traveled around, he mostly focused on the Tang Dynasty and had never seen the darkest side of the world.
The encounter with the serfs under the sinkhole of Xuankong Temple made Ye Su doubt Taoism and Buddhism for the first time.
Buddhism has always preached compassion, but it has enslaved serfs generation after generation and treated people like animals.??
?Xiling Temple has always preached light and led people to do good, but what they did had nothing to do with light.
Ye Su saw too many priests from the Xiling Temple, in the name of religion, oppressing the people, plundering the people's wealth, and even forcing good people to become prostitutes and farmers to become thieves.
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you. Ye Su has seen too much of the dark side of the world and begins to doubt the teachings of Haotian Taoism.
What the Taoist sect did was completely contrary to the teachings that Ye Su had been exposed to since childhood. He began to doubt that Zhishou Guan's previous teachings were wrong. A new teaching sprouted in his heart, just waiting to blossom and bear fruit.
After Ning Que became Mr. Thirteen, he spent most of his time in the back of the academy, getting along with his senior brothers.
Senior brothers such as Jun Mo were very good to their younger brother and treated him like a family member, making Ning Que feel the warmth of family.
However, he did not give up the idea of revenge and asked Yu Lian again for advice on "Haoran Qi".
It's just that Mr. Li Manman has always disagreed with Ning Que's practice of "Haoran Qi". He felt that Ning Que's concentration was not strong enough and if he practiced Haoran Qi rashly, his body would explode and die.
The Demon Sect's technique absorbs the vitality of heaven and earth into the body, and if you don't pay attention, it will make people cripple or die.
Ning Que's training time was too short and he didn't accumulate enough knowledge. Li Manman was afraid that he wouldn't be able to grasp it, so he didn't let him practice "Haoran Qi", all for his own good.
Fortunately, there was so much to learn in the academy. Jun Mo and several people took turns teaching him, which was enough for Ning Que to study for a long time, allowing him to temporarily give up practicing "Haoran Qi".
Among the many senior brothers, Ning Que was the most attached to Jun Mo, mainly because he was attracted by his powerful swordsmanship.
Although Jun Mo did not hide his secrets and taught Ning Que the art of swordsmanship, Ning Que was used to using knives, bows and arrows, and could never get started with swordsmanship.
However, Wang Gang felt that Ning Que's heart was filled with hatred and it was difficult for him to understand the meaning of the Haoran Sword. Reluctantly practicing it would be harmful rather than beneficial.
Jun Mo gave up and asked Ning Que to memorize Haoran's sword technique first and practice it later when he had the opportunity.
Chao Xiaoshu is still in seclusion and has not woken up, but the sword intention in his body is getting weaker and weaker. It seems that he has returned to his original nature. He must have learned some swordsmanship again.
Time passed day by day, but the Master still did not return to Chang'an. He kept looking for something, but never found it.
Sang Sang was still like that, she had not awakened Haotian's will, but as she lived longer in Chang'an City, the Haotian aura inadvertently emitted from her body still had an impact on the Jingshen Formation.
Now that the Eye of the Shocking God Formation is in Wang Gang's hands, if there is a problem with the formation, he will naturally have to solve it.
After Yan Se obtained "Tong Tian Lu", he has been hiding at home to meditate on it, with an attitude of ignoring worldly things, which made Wang Gang feel like he shot himself in the foot.
He could only spare no effort to eliminate Haotian's aura every day, and he was as tired as a dead dog every day.
However, during the confrontation with Haotian's aura, Wang Gang's telekinesis cultivation also improved, and his understanding of the rules of this world also improved, and he later enjoyed it.
In the autumn of the fifteenth year of the Apocalypse, the autumn in Chang'an was extremely cold, and there seemed to be a hint of winter.
After Li Zhongyi, the king of Tang Dynasty, came to court, urgent news came from the border crossing eight hundred miles away.
The Desolate People in the Far North Wilderness united with the remnants of the Demon Sect and marched southward. They captured the Royal Court of the Golden Tent in a blitzkrieg. The Xiling Temple issued an oracle and summoned allied forces from various countries to resist the Desolate People.
Li Zhongyi quickly summoned the ministers to discuss the matter, and summoned Li Hunyuan and Wang Gang into the palace to discuss the matter.
?Now Wang Gang is considered a prince-in-law and is qualified to participate in government affairs.
The courtiers of the Tang Dynasty were divided into two factions. One faction believed that the desolate people had gone south to capture the Golden Tent, and the next step was to invade the Tang Dynasty, and advocated sending out troops to fight.
The other side believed that this was the matter of the Xiling Temple, and the Tang State should not interfere. They even thought that it would be best for both the Huang people and the Xiling Temple to suffer losses, and maybe the Tang State could gain an advantage.
Both sides exchanged courtesies, but no one could convince the other, and in the end the ball was thrown to Li Zhongyi.
Li Zhongyi was in a dilemma and saw the old god Wang Gang below.
"Consort, do you think the Tang State should send troops?" Li Zhongyi asked Wang Gang.
Wang Gang glanced at Li Hunyuan, then stood up and said, "I think it's time to send troops, but we can't send many soldiers into the wilderness."
Li Zhongyi nodded, looked at Li Hunyuan and asked, "Hunyuan, what do you think?"
Li Hunyuan was startled and quickly stepped out of the queue and said, "My ministers also agree to send troops."
"Tell me your reasons." Li Zhongyi had no intention of letting Li Hunyuan go so easily.
Li Hunyuan collected his thoughts and said calmly: "After careful analysis, I feel that sending troops will be more beneficial to our country, the Tang Dynasty.
?First, this time the Xiling Temple issued an oracle, calling on all countries to send troops. Yan State, Yuelun, and Dahe sent troops one after another. If our Tang State did not send troops, it would seem too aloof. Although Tang State is strong, it also needs allies.
?Second, the Huangren captured the Golden Tent Palace and directly threatened the Tang border. If they did not send troops, they feared that the people at the border would suffer.
?Third, Xiling Temple issued an oracle in the name of Haotian this time. This war is not a national war, but a battle of faith. Tang Guoming believes in Haotian. If he does not go to war, it may give Xiling Temple an excuse to attack Tang."
Li Zhongyi nodded slightly.
"I think we must send troops, but not too many. It is best to delay them as long as possible. We in the Tang State cannot serve as swordsmen for the Xiling Temple."
?Li Zhongyi said with satisfaction: "Very good. It's very good that you have such knowledge."
