Qi Xuansu came to the temple area again, without even bringing any entourage, and seemed very confident.
Qi Xuansu is someone who has been on the battlefield after all. He has never seen any big scenes. When he went to Suzuka Mountain and Huangquan Kingdom, he was not alone, but he was afraid of you. When the Imperial Master went deep into the Ise Shrine, he didn’t bring anything with him.
The followers are just one person and one sword.
Tantai Ying, Hu En'ahan and others stayed outside, taking charge of commanding the spiritual officers and preparing for any unexpected events. The main reason was to guard against someone who wanted to divert the tiger away from the mountain and attack the east and the west.
On the other side, Manudancha's battle was about to get bigger, and he was accompanied by the leader of the imperial army and the palace steward, as well as many other guards. However, Unurathu and her confidant Malanga did not show up.
The chief high priest of the Sun Temple, as the owner of this place, personally welcomed the two of them.
In front of the temple gate, the high priest stood in the middle, with his back to the gate, holding out a hand on each side in a cheerful gesture. Qi Xuansu and Manudancha, one on the left and one on the right, stood facing the gate.
"Your Majesty." Qi Xuansu used an honorific title, but it sounded a bit sarcastic when he said it from Qi Xuansu's mouth, "We meet again."
Manudancha's face was very serious, "I have learned the methods of Master Qi."
"I" is a habit of the Central Plains emperors. Tawanting does not have this habit. However, today's Emperor Jiushi doesn't like this self-proclaimed one. The key is the phrase "I am a dog-legged person" back then, plus the three punches of beating the emperor.
This self-proclaimed sanctity has been completely dispelled.
These are all good things done by Daomen.
Xuansheng did not have a daughter, but he did have a younger sister who was quite similar to Xiao Yin in some aspects. She was the one who did this herself.
Qi Xuansu said, "Everything I do is for stability. Don't you worry about your daughter's safety?"
It was okay not to mention Huangfu Xi. When he mentioned Huangfu Xi, Manudancha did not hide his anger, "Is she still my daughter? She is the daughter of the Huangfu family."
Qi Xuansu said, "No matter whose daughter it is, there is no reason to assassinate her. The entire princess palace was slaughtered, how many lives were taken? In the words of the Central Plains, the emperor's feet are the best place. Even so, those who are far away from Xinpai
What is the situation in Titi? If this problem is not solved, is it possible?"
Manudancha usually did not deal with political affairs very much, leaving them to Unuratu. How could he compare with Qi Xuansu who had experienced various discussions in debates?
The high priest of the Sun Temple would smooth things over and invite the two people into the temple to talk at the right time.
Qi Xuansu made a "please" gesture and walked into the temple side by side with Manudancha.
When Kukulkan made a promise, no matter what
In any case, they must protect the Tawanting royal family in return for the Tawanting royal family converting to Kukulkan.
Logically speaking, when Manudancha came to the Temple of the Sun, it should be like going home, but at this time, it seemed that Qi Xuansu was the owner of this place.
Because Kukulkan's main priesthood has become the sun god, the style of the entire temple no longer resembles that of Quetzalcoatl in the past. It is resplendent and magnificent, as if the golden sun is shining.
The floor of the temple hall is a huge golden sun pattern. At the end of the temple, there is a sun symbol hanging on the wall. It is somewhat similar to the triangular symbol of the Holy Temple and has no specific image. It seems that Kukulkan intends to get rid of the feathered serpent of the past.
The image of God is his foundation and his limitation. Kukulkan wants to seek transcendence and break through it.
In fact, the same is true for the Taoist sect. Formal occasions are the symbol of Tai Chi. Xuansheng has also explicitly forbidden to erect statues of him. However, there are always people who can't help but want to build some wonders. Xuansheng can't do it, and Taishang Taozu has never said that it can't be done. So people in the Taoist sect
He was very keen on erecting a statue of Taishang Taozu, and the statue became bigger and bigger.
Qi Xuansu walked on the huge sun pattern on the floor of the temple, and felt his own insignificance. Looking up, it seemed as if someone was looking down on him from somewhere.
At this moment, except for the chief high priest, Qi Xuansu, and Manudancha, there is no one else in the temple, and everyone else has withdrawn from the temple.
Qi Xuansu withdrew his gaze and continued walking deeper into the temple. Under the sun symbol, there was a table and two chairs. Obviously only Qi Xuansu and Manudancha could sit there, which was where the negotiation took place.
It is said to be a negotiation, but what is it actually talking about? Are you asking Qi Xuansu to withdraw his troops? Qi Xuansu will not agree. In fact, it is to give Manudan another chance. If you are willing to stand on the Taoist side and repent, you can forget about it. If you are stubborn, it is no wonder.
If Qi Xuansu is good, don't say that Qi Xuansu will be executed without teaching.
It’s not that I don’t want you to live, but you have to stop it in moderation, enjoy wealth and honor, and refuse to support Taoism. How can there be such a good thing?
It's just that Manudancha hasn't realized this yet. Sitting opposite Qi Xuansu, although he put down his airs, he didn't grasp the main contradiction of the problem.
"Master Qi, why are you like this?" Manudancha said earnestly, "Our husband and wife have never offended you, so why do you have to force each other so hard?"
Qi Xuansu said, "Your Majesty, why don't you understand at this time? This is not an issue that offends me personally. You have not offended me. I am very satisfied with your hospitality. This is an issue related to the overall situation.
I still hope that His Majesty the Emperor can stand on the side of Taoism and take the overall situation into consideration."
Manudancha asked “What is the big picture?”
Qi Xuansu said, "I don't like chess discussions, so for me, the overall situation is not a vague reference, nor is it an excuse. The overall situation is a stable situation, a good environment, and a solid foundation, so as to prepare for future development and construction."
Prepare. But now, some people have created the Tide of Shadows, colluded with the bugs, and used living people to cultivate human-faced fruit trees. The herons will secretly form alliances and plot evil. This is to break the stable situation, destroy the good environment, and shake the solid foundation.
, this is disregarding the overall situation. I want to eliminate these unstable factors one by one. I hope that His Majesty the Emperor can stand on my side, as well as on the side of Xidaomen and Daomen, to promote the overall peace and stability of Tawanting and strive for
Let us embark on the path of prosperity and prosperity as soon as possible. I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor understands what I say?"
Usually in Taoist circles, there is no need to speak so clearly, as the word "overall situation" can be summarized, but Qi Xuansu found that His Majesty the Emperor really didn't understand, so he could only break it into pieces and speak slowly.
Manudancha said, "You want to eliminate unstable factors, and I will not stop you. I also support Daomen and Xidaomen."
Qi Xuansu said, "Then please ask His Majesty the Emperor to hand over the Queen to me. I can guarantee..."
"No!" Manudancha refused without thinking, "I can't leave the queen to you. This is my bottom line."
Qi Xuansu stood up directly and said, "Then there is nothing to talk about. I will use necessary means when necessary. Please understand, Your Majesty."
Manudancha stood up in anger, but then turned weak when he spoke, "Master Qi, I beg you, please don't push me hard." ??
Qi Xuansu said calmly, "Your Majesty, I am not forcing you, but you can interpret my words as an ultimatum."
Manudancha was full of pain and helplessness: "Master Qi, don't force me..."
Qi Xuansu emphasized his tone, "Your Majesty! You have always been forcing yourself. There is a saying in the Central Plains that the sky is brighter when you take a step back. As long as you take a step back, I can assure you now that you are still the emperor of Tawanting and no one can replace you."
you."
Manudancha clenched his hands into fists, veins popped up on the backs of his hands, and his face was twisted: "Qi Zhenren, Qi Xuansu, I can't do it, I really can't do it..."
Qi Xuansu's face was calm and his tone was indifferent, "I'm sorry, I must implement Jinque's decision. This is my duty and mission."
After that, Qi Xuansu walked out.
Manudancha suddenly groaned, half-kneeling on the ground, and the veins on the back of his hands seemed to be knotting together, "Qi Xuansu, you are going too far!"
Qi Xuansu
He stopped and didn't speak.
There are many skylights above the Temple of the Sun, allowing sunlight to fall down.
Where there is light, there must be shadow.
At some point, the chief high priest of the Sun Temple had retreated into the shadows and stood silently.
Qi Xuansu turned around and said slowly, "Your Majesty, I advise you one last time not to make a mistake. It is easy to take this step, but it is difficult to take it back. If you take a missed step, you will be doomed."
The sunlight through the skylight slowly shifted, and a beam of sunlight fell on Manudancha's body.
A shadow appeared behind Manudancha and was solidifying.
That was the refuge from Kukulkan.
Kukulkan promised to protect the Tawantin royal family in return for the Tawantin royal family's conversion.
Emperor Manudancha best represents the royal family of Tawanting.
This is the central temple of Kukulkan.
This ray of sunshine will reach directly to the divine kingdom of Kukulkan.
Qi Xuansu put his hands behind his back and just watched calmly. His breath became hot, like a flame, and even the air around him was distorted by the high temperature.
Manudancha became more and more painful, and a sound like a beast growled in his throat, "I don't want to do this. You forced me to do this. No wonder I..."
Qi Xuansu said coldly, "It doesn't matter whether you blame me or not."
Under the sunlight, the shadow behind Manudancha completely solidified.
It was a lifelike Quetzalcoatl.
An illusive prayer voice sounded in the temple, "When Kukulkan arrives, the blazing wind of the sun will blow across the desolate land, and the eternal power will control all things, their lives, their souls, and even their bones."
"The sun contains infinite power. When light and darkness meet, the flames of heaven and earth change instantly. The messenger comes to master the power and rule all things."
"When the messenger arrives, flames descend on the earth, and all people praise him. The messenger with great power must control the life and death of all things."
Manudancha's figure gradually disappeared into the increasingly bright and blazing sunlight.
Only the image of Quetzalcoatl becomes more and more real.
The messenger of Kukulkan, Quetzalcoatl.
At the same time, a phantom appeared behind Qi Xuansu, which was not a law, but seven different divine birds, and then merged into a colorful firebird with the characteristics of the seven divine birds, like a phoenix and a red bird.
Qi Xuansu said in a deep voice, "According to the special anti-rebellion law, why did your majesty commit rebellion?"
