Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but find it a little funny after hearing this. This little junior brother grew up in the mortal world, and even though he was promoted to heaven, he still couldn't get rid of ordinary people's thinking.
How could Buddhism and Confucianism, which are three religions alongside Taoism, use secret means to assassinate Taoist disciples?
Although Lin Ze didn't know what Zhuang Zhou was thinking, he could probably guess it based on his expression.
Lin Ze sneered at Zhuang Zhou's disapproval and moved to another place. If killing Zhao Tuo and Liu Ji could eliminate Confucianism and Buddhism, he would not mind becoming an assassin again.
It's a pity that the composition of Nanyue and Liu Ji's forces is completely different from that of Western Qin.
The Western Qin Dynasty was founded by Lin Ze alone, and it was also Lin Ze's words. The Dao Palace was not deeply involved. Once Lin Ze died, it would definitely separate and collapse.
According to the information returned by Jin Yiwei, South Vietnamese officials and generals have either been replaced by Buddhist disciples and believers, or they have become Buddhist disciples and believers.
If Zhao Tuo dies, the whole of South Vietnam can only grieve and remember him for a period of time, and then do whatever they have to do.
The one who really controls South Vietnam is Xuantang and Buddhism.
Liu Ji was slightly better than Zhao Tuo. He had three counselors headed by Zhang Liang, and a group of generals headed by Long Qie. Although his actions were restricted by Confucianism, he still had a certain degree of autonomy.
It's just that Liu Ji didn't care about the affairs himself. He only took the title of Pei Gong and left everything to Zhang Liang and others, truly achieving governance from the top down.
Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise Zhao Tuo and Liu Ji would not be able to sleep well given Lin Ze's character.
Ever since he was promoted to the Heavenly Realm, Lin Ze had no idea how many ways he could use to make mortals outside the Heavenly Realm disappear from the human world without anyone noticing.
Zhuang Zhou looked at Lin Ze, who had a serious look on his face, and said with a smile: "I just have nothing to do these days. Since my junior brother has spoken, I will accompany you on this trip."
Lin Ze smiled and said: "While you are free now, senior brother, why don't you tell me about the situation of each faction, such as their strength and operating style."
"When we go to Mount Tai, we can prescribe the right medicine and recruit more factions to enhance the strength of the Dao Palace."
Zhuang Zhou thought for a while and replied: "Senior brother, I know very well what the situation of each faction was ten thousand years ago. However, as time has passed and the world has changed, I don't know much about the situation of each faction."
"If the change is too big, wouldn't senior brother mislead you by telling you? I'm afraid junior brother will have to find a way to understand it on his own."
Lin Ze heard the words and said quietly: "Senior brother was sure just now that, except for the three sects and Guigu, there are no more than five fingers of third-level heavenly beings in each sect. Now I can't tell my junior brother clearly. The two seem to be somewhat contradictory."
Zhuang Zhou coughed lightly, shook his head slowly and said: "The two are actually not contradictory at all."
"Ten thousand years ago, there were a total of 326 sects qualified to participate in the Great Tribulation, with a total of 487 heavenly beings. Most sects only had one heavenly being in charge. During the Great Tribulation, a total of 120
Eight heavenly beings have fallen, and ninety-five have been promoted to heavenly beings.”
"Ten thousand years have passed, and during this period, there may be someone who has become a new heavenly being, or a certain heavenly being has advanced to the second level, or someone like the Buddhist Xuantang has been reincarnated."
"Or maybe some sects are not adapted to the life outside the world, and their disciples have suffered a lot of damage, and there are not many left. Or there is a problem in continuing the sect, and the inheritance is accidentally cut off, so that the temperament of heaven and nature changes drastically."
"Junior brother asked me about my strength and acting style. How should I answer?"
Lin Ze's face was startled, and he was speechless for a moment.
"What about the third realm of human beings that day? Won't there be new ones?"
Zhuang Zhouyi replied with a serious face: "Junior brother, do you know how difficult it is to advance to the third level of heaven and human beings?"
"Except for the Three Religions and Ghost Valley, those who advance to the third realm of heaven and human beings by themselves are definitely rare."
Lin Ze looked curious and asked: "Who are the third realm of heavenly beings from each sect?"
Zhuang Zhou said slowly: "Mo Zhai from the Mohist family, Bian Que from the medical family, Jiang Shang from the military family, and Xu Xing from the farmer family. In my senior brother's memory, apart from these four people, there is no one else, just less than one hand."
Lin Ze's expression changed when he heard this, and he secretly made a calculation: Mo Zhai sent a message, which seemed to show his intention to surrender. There are many Mohist disciples serving in the Department of Preparation.
In addition, Han Xin, the descendant of the military family, is his disciple, and Xu Gao, the descendant of the peasant family, is his disciple.
Counting this way, except for the doctors, the other three sects can have some connections.
With this relationship, your success rate in persuading military strategists and farmers will be greatly improved.
After all, no matter how strong a fortress is, it is always much easier to break it from the inside.
Lin Ze was even thinking about taking Xu Gao with him when he went to Mount Tai?
If it is really necessary, it is not impossible to go to the far west and bring Han Xin here.
Not to mention other things, the huge fortune brought by the third realm of celestial beings alone was enough to make Lin Ze salivate, and he would do whatever it took to win him over.
Seeing that Lin Ze was deep in thought, Zhuang Zhou smiled and left. He said: "Junior brother, think slowly. Remember to call me in three days. Senior brother, go find a quieter place to catch up on your sleep."
Lin Ze looked at the direction Zhuang Zhou was leaving and shook his head slightly.
…
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Early in the morning on the eighth day of April, at dawn, Lin Ze ran to Zhuang Zhou's residence, woke Zhuang Zhou up and said, "Brother, the time has come, it's time to go to Mount Tai."
Zhuang Zhou looked at the white fog outside the window and Lin Ze in ordinary clothes. He shook his head and had no choice but to get up.
After a brief wash, Zhuang Zhou was pulled by Lin Ze who couldn't wait to go straight to Mount Tai.
Zhuang Zhou, who was high up in the sky with a strong wind blowing on his face, couldn't help but ask: "No matter how early the alliance is, it will never be this early. Why is my junior brother in such a hurry and rushing over?"
Lin Ze replied without thinking: "Of course it is to occupy a favorable position so that I can see what each faction has planned. Senior brother, may I have forgotten that Dao Gong was not invited, and you and I came uninvited."
"If it is seen by various factions, even if it is an obstacle to the Dao Palace, they will not attack you and me, but senior brother, do you still expect them to speak freely in front of you and me?"
"What if they join forces and want to scheme against Dao Palace? Wouldn't this be a missed opportunity to thwart the other party's conspiracy?"
Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but feel speechless when he heard this. He was suddenly curious about what was in his little junior brother's head. Why did he always feel like someone was trying to harm him?
Although Chang'an is far away from Mount Tai, this distance is not enough in front of heavenly beings.
While talking for a while, the two of them could vaguely see the outline of Mount Tai.
When the two of them were about to arrive, a voice suddenly sounded: "The great Lord Dao Palace Zhuang is here. I am honored to be here."
Lin Ze was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Zhuang Zhou with confusion on his face, as if asking, what is going on?
