Zhu Hongwu talked about the importance of status and the way of a monarch and his ministers. He stood behind Liang Yuan and respected Liang Yuan's status as the prince, so he was willing to let Liang Yuan stand in the first place and him in the rear.
But everyone present knew clearly that when the Zhou Dynasty came to Kunlun Mountain this time, Xuanji Hou Zhu Hongwu was the leading figure.
Zhu Hongwu was the grand master and his nominal master. When the two met, under normal circumstances, Zhu Hongwu did not need to salute Liang Yuan. Instead, Liang Yuan should salute Zhu Hongwu.
But this time they were traveling together, and the two of them represented the Great Zhou Dynasty. As the crown prince, Liang Yuan was given the first place by Zhu Hongwu.
One of the reasons why Liang Yuan is said to have been reborn is that he is standing in front of Zhu Hongwu at this moment. He is still in a stable mood and calm expression, and can hold down the situation. However, he also shows enough respect for Zhu Hongwu. Although he is standing in front of Zhu Hongwu,
Hongwu was in front of him, but he was standing sideways, with his body slightly tilted in the direction of Zhu Hongwu.
It wasn't until the group of people landed on Yunfeng together and arrived in front of Qin Emperor Shi Yu to greet everyone from the Great Qin Dynasty that Liang Yuan stood up straight again. At this time, he represented the national body of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Except for Prince Liang Yuan, the other monks of the Zhou Dynasty followed Zhu Hongwu respectfully, as did other powerful men in the realm of Yuanshen.
The only thing that seemed a little out of place was another group of people standing on another golden rainbow, clearly different from Zhu Hongwu and Liang Yuan.
On the second golden rainbow, the leader is a young man, dressed in purple and gold clothes, with a gold crown on his head and a bright yellow belt around his waist.
He has an extremely well-proportioned figure, short hair on his head, a handsome face, and a plump face. There are light golden blood circles around his temples on both sides, like two real suns.
This person was clearly Jinghuan Hou Liang An. He looked at Zhu Hongwu and Liang Yuan with a half-smile but not a smile. He looked at Zhu Hongwu relatively calmly, but looked at Liang Yuan with a faint look of disdain.
Liang Yuan seemed to be turning a blind eye to Marquis Jing Huan. His eyes looked at Qin Emperor Shi Yu: "Senior Shi, I came to Kunlun Mountain this time to participate in the founding ceremony of the Xuanmen Tianzong. Please forgive me.
This is the courtesy of being a fellow disciple."
Having said that, he saluted Qin Emperor Shi Yu. It was indeed a etiquette among monks in the world of cultivation, not a standard etiquette for diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Emperor Qin Shi Yu nodded calmly as a return gift: "You're welcome."
Zhu Hongwu looked Shi Yu up and down and said calmly: "It turns out to be a clone."
When receiving the invitation from Lin Feng, Qin Emperor Shi Yu had something to do and couldn't get away, so he sent a clone of himself. With his strength and status, even though he was a clone, it was equivalent to being present in person, so it was not considered rude.
.
In the same way, Zhou Emperor Liang Pan was also busy and unable to come. If he didn't send his own clone, he would at least need to send Zhu Hongwu, otherwise just sending Prince Liang Yuan wouldn't be enough.
Shi Yu glanced at Zhu Hongwu indifferently: "Oh? Listen to the meaning of your words Zhu Hongwu, if I were the one who came here, would you still want to plot an assassination?"
His words could be said to be shocking. The faces of everyone in the Qin Dynasty changed slightly.
Zhu Hongwu looked as usual and said calmly: "I, Da Zhou, and you, Da Qin, are still in the same camp, so I won't do that."
"If that's not the case, if you really are here, I would really like to give it a try."
As soon as these words came out, the face of Changle Taoist Master, who was always cheerful, suddenly turned gloomy, and everyone in the Great Qin Dynasty even looked angry.
Sun Yao Sword Master and Xingxiu Sword Master also frowned. Shura Dao Master Huo Xiu had no expression on his face. But he also turned his head and his eyes fell on Zhu Hongwu.
Zhu Hongwu was unusually relaxed. His two palms, as white as jade, hung by his side, and his fingers spread slightly. He moved them gently, as if the breeze was blowing willows.
But his gentle movements seemed to contain extremely terrifying power, making everyone feel palpitated.
Zhu Hongwu didn't even look at Taoist Changle, Sun Yao Sword and Xingxiu Sword. His eyes paused on Shura Taoist Huo Xiu for a moment: "After achieving the realm of returning to the void, you sharpened a good sword.
, In the past, the number one master among the four great families of the Great Qin Dynasty was Shi Wu, the head of the Shi family, but now it is you."
Huo Xiu's face was expressionless, and his expression did not change at all.
During the Desolate Sea Dharma Conference in the past, he had already reached the peak of the soul's incarnation for many years, and was only half a step away from breaking through.
Later, during the battle between Shi Tianhao and Song Qingyuan, Huo Xiu also participated in the bet and won Cao Wei's Arctic Flame Stone. He used it as a whetstone to sharpen his own sword skills, and finally succeeded in breaking through, and was promoted from the incarnation of the Yuan Shen to the realm of the return of the Yuan Shen.
territory.
He has deep magic power and sharp supernatural powers, and has few rivals among monks in the same realm. As Zhu Hongwu said, Huo Xiu is confident of winning even if he faces a veteran return-to-empty realm monk like Shi Wu.
Zhu Hongwu looked at him and said quietly: "Among the powerful souls under the Central Government of the Qin Dynasty, outside of the royal family, you are the first one. To break your sword, I need to punch you five times."
The words that sounded so brazen came from Zhu Hongwu's mouth, but they had a strange magic power that made people want to believe them.
It seemed that it required him to punch five times, which was already a very rare thing, which made Huo Xiu feel proud.
Huo Xiu had no expression on his face and said indifferently: "If you want to fight, fight. We will know what the result will be when the time comes. Huo's Shura World-Destroying Sword will have to draw blood when it is unsheathed."
Zhu Hongwu raised his eyebrows slightly, not politely, and gradually retracted his originally stretched fingers and grasped them in his palm.
With this movement of clenching his fist, he suddenly seemed to hold the world in his hands.
Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, the void above Yunfeng suddenly shook, and a stream of purple energy surged out, turned into a staircase, and landed in front of Shi Yu and others from the Great Qin Dynasty.
Yue Hongyan on the side said lightly: "Your Majesty, Emperor Qin, Taoist Master Shura, Taoist Master Changle, Sword Master Sun Yao, Sword Master Xingxiu, if your master invites you, all seniors can just climb this staircase."
Qin Emperor Shi Yu had an indifferent expression from beginning to end. He nodded, unfolded his robe sleeves, rolled up Shi Xingyun and other monks from the Qin Dynasty, and then stepped up the stairs first, followed closely by Taoist Master Changle, and Master Sun Yao Sword Master.
He also followed the example of Xingxiu Sword Master, using his magic power to collect his own disciples, and then stepped onto the stairs.
Huo Xiu took a deep look at Zhu Hongwu, then used his magic power to control his family members, and then turned around and climbed up the Purple Qi Staircase.
Zhu Hongwu did not stop him. He stood there with a calm expression, his hands behind his back again, his expression relaxed, and he watched Shi Yu, Huo Xiu and others climb up the purple air stairs and disappear.
Marquis Jinghuan said calmly: "Although it is just a clone, in the heart of the master of Xuanmen, the weight of Da Qin is still greater than that of Da Zhou."
"He did it intentionally to tell us whose territory this place belongs to." Zhu Hongwu's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "We are still on the same front now, so let's not worry about some trivial matters.
There is ample time."
Marquis Jinghuan smiled and did not continue the topic. His eyes fell on Yue Hongyan, he looked up and down, and exclaimed: "Not bad, not bad, really not bad! How long has it been since you practiced it?
The golden elixir is in the late stage."
"You are so gifted and talented, and you are so beautiful. It is no wonder that I have been thinking about you."
Yue Hongyan looked cold and said quietly: "Da Zhou came to visit today. Could it be that he came just for provocation?"
Marquis Jinghuan shook his head: "Come on, come on. I am here today. I am also appointed by the Zhou Dynasty. I am specially here to attend the founding ceremony of your sect. Although I have the intention of begging you, I am not in a hurry."
Today."
"I am honored to attend a grand event today. I will naturally be a worthy guest."
When Marquis Jinghuan said this, he looked at Zhu Hongwu who was standing aside: "What's more, you must not be hostile to me. If you really want to say so, it is Marquis Xuanji who massacred and annexed the Xuefeng Kingdom in the past."
Yue Hongyan's expression became colder and colder, and his pair of red eyes were like blazing flames. However, when one looked at the pair of blazing red eyes, one would only feel as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Zhu Hongwu glanced at Marquis Jinghuan lightly, then looked at Yue Hongyan with an unchanging expression, and said calmly: "Destiny is the destiny of the general trend. The progress of history is unstoppable. Anyone or anything who tries to stop it will be destroyed by the torrent of history.
Devoured.”
"I know that you are a remnant of the Xuefeng Kingdom, and you were once a member of the Gale Society's rebels. You committed assassinations and sabotages, and were punished numerous times in our great Zhou Dynasty."
"I won't pursue you today. I advise you to respect yourself and do what you want. Don't make the same mistake again and again." Zhu Hongwu said indifferently: "In the past, when the Liefenghui and Xuefeng were suppressed by the Qing Dynasty, you escaped a disaster. This is your blessing.
, since you have escaped death, you should cherish this life you picked up, and don't think about anything else. If you dare to commit crimes again in our territory, you may not have such good luck."
"They are confusing right and wrong again and using strong words to make excuses."
A gap suddenly opened in the void, and Zhu Yi, dressed in purple clothes and dressed as a scholar, stepped out, looking calmly at the man in front of him whom he called his father.
When Zhu Hongwu saw Zhu Yi, he said calmly: "You are a traitor, you have learned some crooked principles, and then you talk about them. You disrespect your elders and your fathers. With just this one thing, it is obvious who is right and who is wrong between you and me."
.”
Zhu Yi said calmly: "You treat me like a piece of grass, and I will treat you as an enemy. Repay evil with kindness? How to repay kindness? Repay evil with straightness, repay kindness with kindness. A gentleman's hatred will last for thousands of generations."
"Guizi, although you have literary talent, you don't even care about ethics. You are just deceiving the world and stealing your reputation." Zhu Hongwu not only did not get angry, but also laughed, as if he had heard a funny joke: "You caused hundreds of saints to sing in unison, but you were so mediocre.
You are called a sub-sage, but you have not yet become a saint. Saints are still born and raised by their parents."
Zhu Yi also laughed: "A reasonable person dares to tell the king directly when he is wrong, let alone a father and son?"
He looked at Zhu Hongwu: "Not to mention, your humanity has been wiped out, so why are you still talking about father and son?"
Zhu Hongwu opened and closed his eyes, divine light surged: "Nizi, you have strayed further and further from the right path." (To be continued)
