His eyes fell on the wrapped scroll in Xu Gong's arms.
The ink characters in the scroll caught Zhou Yi's eyes.
This is a proclamation, "Pingnan Order", which was written by Xu Gong himself more than half a year ago but has never been made public to the world.
It contains tens of thousands of words, describing the causes of the disasters in Lingnan, which were caused by demons and demons and the corruption of the emperor's immoral officials.
Now, he resigned from Beijing and joined hands with the big demon to come to Lingnan, just to bring order to Lingnan, quell the banditry, reshape Lingnan's destiny, and provide tens of millions of acres of fertile land to the people of Lingnan.
Xu Wentai, on the other hand, used his own life and Wenzong's fate as guarantee to stay in Lingnan and sink deep underground.
As long as Lingnan's luck remains unchanged, he will be buried deep underground and become a silent living dead who will never be born again.
…
"Mr. Xu, Gong Xu, you once said with your own words, 'When there is a way, ghosts will not hurt people. When one observes virtue, there will be no lack of gods.'
When heaven and earth are in order and morality in the world is prosperous, ghosts and monsters will not be able to harm people, but will serve the people as their masters.
How many scholars regard it as a model and a warning, follow your example, stay away from ghosts and gods, do not believe in magic, only believe in themselves.
...But in the end, you relied on the existence you wanted to stay away from the most, and relied on the power of belief in gods and ghosts to fight against the demons in the palace."
Zhou Yi sighed softly.
He naturally understood that if Xu Gong was really desperate, how could he be persuaded by Lord Pingjiang to join forces with this great monster Yingjie and set up a battle between dragon and ape to quell the troubles in Lingnan and gain merit and luck.
It is conceivable that in Xu Gong's heart, the fate of the Tang Dynasty was in danger and there was no need to delay.
However, Zhou Yi had a vague feeling that the game between Xu Gong and Jiang Jun still had flaws and was not perfect.
However, he has also sent an order to the underworld, ordering Hei Wuchang to lead three ghost commanders and tens of millions of soldiers to the underground of Lingnan to prevent any unexpected events.
Time has entered the last day, and the battle between Ao Nitian and Pingjiang Jun has reached its most intense moment.
The thousand-foot-long black dragon and the thousand-foot-long white ape traveled through the clouds and mist, fighting while walking, flattening the dangerous peaks and mountains that covered most of the wilderness of Lingnan Road.
Like two huge ox carts, they plowed thousands of miles of land and cultivated almost all of Lingnan Road.
When planting on these soils, even if no food is grown, cotton, fruit trees, and tea are still very suitable for growth.
And some of the barren mountains, rivers, valleys and deep gorges that could hide bandits were also shattered and flattened by the aftermath of the battle between one dragon and one ape under the deliberate guidance of Lord Pingjiang.
In these days, the remaining hundreds of thousands of Lingnan rebels were all fleeing like lost dogs.
They were either killed in landslides or had no choice but to flee to the heavily guarded Lingnan counties.
Those counties had already had elite soldiers and generals arranged by Xu Zhiling in advance. Facing the panicked rebels, the defenders were waiting for work, so they were naturally able to capture them.
As early as six days ago, when the Dragon-Ape War began, the people in Lingnan counties were already aware of it.
Although experts from all walks of life formed a formation to cast spells to prevent the spread of Qi, they could not isolate the spread of sound.
In the past six days, the sounds of mountains collapsing and ground cracking, thunder and rainstorms in the distance have been persistent, echoing day and night. Although they are far away from the county, they still make a dull sound like beating drums, lingering in the ears of the people.
side.
Every day, officers, soldiers, warriors, and knights mount their horses and go to investigate, but all they see is an unfathomable gray fog.
From the gray mist, an invisible force was released, blocking them.
When the people heard the news, they were naturally panicked.
But starting from the day before yesterday, the heroic officers and soldiers who went to investigate brought back a shocking news.
More than a hundred miles away from the county seat, the dangerous mountains and steep peaks harboring evil spirits were all razed to the ground. Some were turned into fertile plains, while others were directly turned into fertile farmland.
The heroic officers and soldiers who brought back the news spoke with complexity and weirdness in their tone.
As for the people who heard the news, they didn't care what happened.
For them, this is simply the best news of the year.
There are many poor mountains and rivers in Lingnan, and arable land is extremely scarce, which leads to food shortages and difficulty in resisting disasters. Whenever floods occur, there will always be many homeless refugees.
Now that there is so much fertile farmland suddenly available, the people are naturally overjoyed.
"Wait a minute, do you still remember that strange thing that happened last fall? That stone monument that fell from the sky?"
"Ah! If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot!"
"I also remembered that at that time Wang Xiucai from our county went to copy it and read it to us."
"It seems to be called the "Pingnan Order". It was written by a mysterious big man, saying that he would create tens of millions of acres of fertile land for us Lingnan people?"
"The sky has eyes, it really happened!"
More and more people have learned about the great changes that have taken place in the outside world, and they are grateful and bow to the sky.
By the seventh day, nearly half of the hundreds of counties and tens of millions of people on the Lingnan Road knew that gods were cultivating their fields.
People spontaneously walked out of their homes, placed incense and set up tables, or prayed to heaven to express their gratitude.
For a moment, the majestic thoughts of all sentient beings rose up, gathered like clouds, released a bright aura that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, and rushed towards the place of battle.
Nanjiang Longzu, Zhou Yi, Pingjiang Jun, and Ao Nitian were the first to sense this change.
Mr. Pingjiang's eyes flashed and he laughed: "Ao Nitian, in less than half a day, do you dare to give me a try, not attack each other, and go all out to build fields?"
A trace of confusion flashed across Ao Nitian's eyes, but he didn't think much about it.
"Humph, I don't care. I'm just afraid that you'll go back on your word."
"Hahaha, I, Mr. Pingjiang, will never bother to use such despicable means, no matter whether I win or lose."
"Then it's settled."
The dragons and apes stopped attacking each other and went all out to use magic to cultivate the fields.
Without the constraints of each other, acres after acres of fertile farmland were born at an explosive speed.
In a short time, the fields created by the two of them exceeded one million acres, and they were heading towards tens of millions of acres.
In terms of situation, Ao Nitian has the lead, and the number of fertile fields it has created always exceeds that of Pingjiang Jun.
And the good fortune, merit and destiny of all people condensed in the sky above Lingnan are becoming more and more intense.
The spiritual energy is steaming and the brilliance is flowing.
Not only Zhou Yi and Nanjiang Longzu, but also the martial arts masters who came to watch and assist in the boxing, also noticed the strange phenomenon above Lingnan.
"Is that... luck?
"Someone will receive unparalleled merit!"
"What on earth is going on? Is it Mr. Pingjiang or Ao Nitian?"
"Wait a minute, that's not right. The way of heaven does not exist, so how do merits come about?"
"I have heard a saying that the Dao of Heaven does not exist, but has hidden itself and fallen into a deep sleep. Only extraordinary merit can awaken the Dao of Heaven."
All the experts expressed their opinions and discussed endlessly.
But no one has the idea of competing for the luck and merit above.
Because everyone knows that with the presence of the holy monk and Nanjiang Longzu, this luck and merit will never reach them.
In the Nanjiang Dragon Palace Cave, Nanjiang Dragon Ancestor's eyes penetrated the vast river waves and looked at the auspicious clouds wafting in the sky.
He let out a long breath and said through the message: "So, this is Lord Pingjiang's plan. The so-called competition for the river god of Shuifu is just a cover. His real purpose is to openly and honestly change the situation of the mountains and rivers in Lingnan and create tens of millions of fields."
, in order to obtain the merits of luck. This demon really has a plan that reaches the sky, but holy monk, could it be that you already knew it from the beginning?"
On the bank of the river, Zhou Yi shook his head slightly: "The young monk only learned about it a few days ago."
Nanjiang Longzu was silent for a moment and asked: "I see that this luck and merit are divided into three parts. I think one part belongs to Lord Pingjiang, but I don't know who the other two parts belong to?"
How could Zhou Yi not hear the complexity hidden in Nanjiang Longzu's tone?
It was obviously suspecting that it had teamed up with Mr. Pingjiang to set up this trap and plot against Nanjiang Dragon Palace.
But in fact, as a notary himself, he was also involved in the situation.
Fortunately, this luck and merit has been divided into three parts, two big and one small. The big part naturally belongs to Pingjiang Jun and Xu Gong, but the small part seems to be running towards me.
Thinking back to the time when Mr. Pingjiang hinted several times that he would repay himself.
Apparently this meritorious deed was achieved today.
Sensing Nanjiang Longzu's growing dissatisfaction, Zhou Yi did not continue to explain.
From a certain point of view, Nanjiang Dragon Palace is not at a loss, because Pingjiang Lord is about to lose, and Nanjiang Dragon Palace can earn back both face and honor.
However, in the end, I would feel a little unhappy if I ended up making a wedding dress for someone else.
Time flies and seven days have passed.
This sensational and much-anticipated battle between dragons and apes discussing Tao and Dharma has finally come to an end.
At this moment, the mountains and rivers in the south of Lingnan have completely changed their appearance.
In the vast land outside the counties, towns and villages where tens of millions of people live, except for the huge and lengthy Nanjiang River, which has been flowing for thousands of years, the other mountains, rivers, canyons and ravines have taken on a new look, and there are large tracts of plains.
, and tens of millions of acres of fertile soil and farmland.
The miasma that was originally hidden deep in the poor mountains and rivers has all dissipated, and has been replaced by a land of great feng shui.
At this time, Lingnan Road was an undeveloped treasure land.
Fang Ziqi withdrew his gaze from the map in front of a peak with beautiful mountains and clear waters. He had also completed the survey.
"Two powerful men, the battle is over.
In seven days, Pingjiangjun cultivated a total of 18.9 million acres of farmland, and Aolongjun cultivated a total of 2,570 acres of farmland.
Dragon King wins!"
Fang Ziqi's voice came out far away through the magic circle, echoing in everyone's ears.
In fact, without him needing to say more, the outcome was already clear.
It's just that according to convention, all disputes between powerful figures in the demon world require a human arbitrator, and he is someone who has nothing to do with the interests of both parties, so naturally he can only be a mortal.
Although in most cases, arbitration in the human world is just for show, but for the orthodox demon world such as Dragon Palace, the ancient rules and regulations of the demon world will be followed.
Ao Nitian returned to human form, panting slightly, his eyes were red, neither sad nor happy.
"Thank you for the human arbitration."
He slightly cupped his hands toward Fang Ziqi at the distant peak, and then gently flicked his robe sleeves.
Wow!
A dragon's breath water essence floated out, enveloped Fang Ziqi, penetrated into his body through his pores, removed the waste and retained the essence, transforming Qi into the innate.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Ziqi gained the sense of Qi, but the Qi did not stop and was still rising.
Angry!
Open the mansion!
Watching the soul...
Gazes were directed at Fang Ziqi from all directions, and low exclamations sounded from time to time.
"What a top-notch magic seed in the world!"
"Yes, an ordinary mortal who has been blessed by the Dragon Palace, even if it is a magical seed with extraordinary talent, can at most be raised to the sense of Qi in one breath, and then slowly digested. He actually was raised to the state of Guanhun in one breath!"
"As expected of the holy monk, I have found such a person to arbitrate in the human world. It is really a step to the sky. I think it won't be long before I can break through the soul realm."
Even Ao Nitian couldn't help but look at Fang Ziqi a few more times, with complex expressions in his eyes, including appreciation and dissatisfaction.
Then his eyes wandered between Pingjiang Jun and Zhou Yi, and he let out a cold snort.
"Good Lord Pingjiang. But you treat my Dragon Clan as a plowing cow? I, the Dragon Clan, also want a share of this luck and merit! Holy Monk, since you are a notary, you can't favor one over the other!"
Ao Nitian was naturally not a stupid dragon. When his merit and luck appeared, he had already realized that Nanting Dragon Palace had been severely tricked by Lord Pingjiang.
Nanjiang Dragon Ancestor also appeared on the surface of the river, stepped across the river, and said calmly: "Yes, I think there are three parts of this luck and merit, and naturally you need a share from my Dragon Palace. After all, you also obtained it in my land of Lingnan.
This is the result of this good fortune."
Mr. Pingjiang had already returned to his human form, and he raised his head and laughed: "What a joke. Your Nanjiang Water Palace manages the rivers, lakes, rivers and springs, but what I change is the land and mountains. What does it have to do with you? This luck and merit are...
I have been planning this for a year, and I have sacrificed my life to get it. How could you, Nanjiang Water Mansion, dare to ask for it from me?"
All the dragon kings, dragon sons and grandsons also flew out of the river one after another.
"Presumptuous, you are using a trick!"
"If you hadn't falsely claimed that you wanted to take refuge in Nanjiang, how could our Nanjiang Dragon Palace allow you to change the landscape of Lingnan?"
"Pingjiang Lord, don't have such a big appetite! If it weren't for my uncle Ao Nitian, how could you have achieved this fortune!"
Pingjiang Jun sneered: "You ignored the chaos in Lingnan and turned a blind eye to the displacement of the people. You could have easily changed the situation of the mountains and rivers. You could have cultivated tens of millions of fields like I did today, but you were too lazy to waste your energy. Now, you have come to rob me again.
Don’t say a share of your merits today, I won’t give even a trace to you!”
Ao Nitian's eyes were full of evil spirits.
Nanjiang Longzu raised his eyebrows and his eyes became cold.
Mr. Pingjiang was still unruly, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
The three dragon-ape breaths collided with each other like pillars soaring into the sky.
One wave is not over, but another wave arises. As soon as the fighting is over, the war is about to begin.
At this moment, a Buddha's name sounded in their ears.
"Amitabha, the three of you should not argue for now.
Haven't you noticed that there is something not right about this luck and merit?"
Zhou Yi raised his head to look at the aura rising to the sky, and then looked down at Mr. Xu who was motionless deep in the ground.
