"Now the Dragon and Tiger Kingdom is becoming more and more prosperous. If this continues, it won't be long before Zhang Tianshi can try to attack Xu Yi, right?"

"Shou Yan is just kidding. If the number of believers alone can lead to immortality, then the emperor of the Zhu family should not have ascended to the throne long ago. How could he be reduced to what he is today?"

Liang Gongming couldn't help but smile and shook his head when he heard Yan Dongqing's praise beside him.

"The Tao lives high in the sky. If the ancients wanted to see the Tao, turn into a rainbow, ride a crane, or ride the wind, they all needed to approach the Tao through some means. Nowadays, these Yangyang believers are just ascending to the sky prepared by the Heavenly Master and him. As for the ultimate goal, there are still many obstacles and bottlenecks that need to be explored, so there is no need to rush.”

"So that's the case. That's just a dream. But even if there are still many difficulties and obstacles to achieve the first order of Dao, Zhang Tianshi can be said to be the first person in the Dao sect in the past. Even if it takes a hundred years and a thousand years, no one should be able to match him."

This is a peak platform, and Yan Dongqing stands on the edge, overlooking Guixi City, which is filled with people and incense.

"When Master Zhang ascends to heaven and becomes an Immortal Lord in the future, Taoist Master Liang, you will be the Taoist ancestor in this world."

Yan Dongqing suddenly said something meaningful.

"Don't dare to take it seriously."

Liang Gongming, who was standing side by side, smiled faintly: "Pindao is just an ordinary Taoist in the Tianshi Mansion now. No matter what happens in the future, the immortal king in heaven will only be named Zhang, and the Taoist ancestor on earth will also be named Zhang. ”

"Zhang Fengyue is now the leader of Confucianism, and his art of 'numerology' is unparalleled in the world. But among the six arts, he still respects the art of 'ritual' as the first."

Yan Dongqing turned around and said, "Does the Taoist priest know why this is?"

Liang Gongming frowned slightly. He didn't understand why Yan Dongqing suddenly brought the topic to the 'Six Arts'. After thinking for a while, he said: "I am ignorant and ignorant, so please clarify my doubts."

"Because there is no circle without rules. Rules are for kings and ministers, rules for teachers and students, and rules for fathers and sons. There are so many classics handed down by the saints, but the core is about rules. The rituals of each Jinxu are not connected with each other, but they are essentially the same It is also a rule. Therefore, rules are the real foundation and advantage of Confucianism.”

Yan Dongqing said softly: "Although I have little talent and knowledge, I relied on the support of the imperial power to quickly break the order. But the Preface Three who leaked everywhere is also the Preface Three. At this moment, there are rules set by me around you and me. Don't listen to inappropriate rules. , don’t look at anything inappropriate, feel free to say whatever you want.”

Yan Dongqing paused and stared at Liang Gongming, who was pretending to be stunned. He stopped covering up and asked directly.

"Headmaster Liang, are you really planning to spend the rest of your life on this Dragon and Tiger Mountain?"

When Liang Gongming heard this, his heart suddenly froze.

He subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the suspended mountain top: "I don't understand a single word of what the leader said."

"I know that you, Headmaster, have concerns, but I am not someone seeking death. Since I dare to ask this question, I naturally don't worry about being heard by a third person. Unless Headmaster Liang disdains me, a loser like me. The people on the road are together, and they are determined to abandon the light and join the darkness."

Yan Dongqing closed his eyes slightly: "However, I don't think you, Master Liang, are such a person."

"Pindao still doesn't understand what Yan Huishou is saying, and he has no interest in trying to figure out what your Excellency means. The leader has a good rest, and Pindao retreated first."

Liang Gongming said a cold word with an expressionless face, turned around and left without hesitation.

"Fu Li's life was almost lost in Chengdu Mansion not long ago. The former headmaster of one party has now become someone else's pawn, charging into battle with no guarantee of survival. It's really sad."

I don’t know if it was a sentiment that was true or false, but it successfully stopped Liang Gongming in his footsteps.

"A scholar dies for a confidant. This is what you Ruxu said yourself. Master Zhang gave Fuli a way to survive. Isn't it right that he should repay it with his life?" Liang Gongming said without looking back.

Yan Dongqing burst into laughter: "The new Tao order is based on the foundation of Taoism, and heaven and earth are parents. It regards this life as a bumpy journey and is determined to be a person moving forward. If you are not a scholar, how can you have so-called It’s even more nonsense to say that your confidant is willing to give up your life.”

Liang Gongming looked back like a hawk looking at a wolf: "The words you said are enough to kill you a hundred times a thousand times!"

"But I'm still alive and well now. Neither flying swords nor thunder fell from the sky."

Yan Dongqing spread his hands: "If you don't serve yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. This is what people like you and me should take as our example."

"Who are you and me?" Liang Gongming asked coldly.

"Of course he is someone who is not willing to be manipulated by others."

Liang Gongming turned around completely and sneered: "Yan Dongqing, don't forget, you wanted to go to Dragon Tiger Mountain yourself at the beginning, and now you want to drag me into the water?"

"I endured humiliation to survive, and I did it as a last resort. Master Liang taught you, didn't you?"

"What do you mean?"

"It is not our original intention to act as an aid to a tiger, and seeking skin from a tiger is not a long-term solution, so we should all make plans in advance."

Liang Gongming frowned and warned: "Those who have died the most in the past are all smart people. Don't you understand?"

"Fu Li is not smart, but how good are his results? Now that Daoji has been severely injured by Zhang Siyuan, even if he recovers from his injuries, there is no hope of promotion in this life. I'm afraid that within ten years, he will be completely Old and decayed, sealed away and reduced to cannon fodder that will only be released when someone needs to die. "

Yan Dongqing's eyes were sharp and he asked, "Are you willing to be like him?"

"Yan Dongqing, this is Longhu Mountain!"

Liang Gongming's voice became serious, and he didn't look like a cultivator at all. He raised his hand and pointed at his feet.

"I know this is Longhu Mountain. A mountain of Taoist temples is filled with gods and goddesses. There is an orderly hierarchy, with distinctions between superior and inferior. There are more rules than Taoist scriptures. If there is anything wrong at all, it is disrespectful to the gods. Why?"

Yan Dongqing asked and answered himself: "Because incense is the money of gods, only big gods are qualified to eat incense, and small gods can only eat incense ashes. Those worthless mountain ghosts and wild gods are only worthy of being reduced to obscene sacrifices, or being accepted as dogs. Or just disappear.”

"The reason why I can go to the Dragon Tiger Mountain and be a guest of the Zhang family is because I still have value."

Yan Dongqing spoke eloquently: "The battle between the Spring and Autumn Society and the New Donglin Party seems to have ended with the demise of the Spring and Autumn Society. But does Master Liang really think that I lost? I can tell you clearly that I did not Lose, this is all in my plan!”

"The Spring and Autumn Conference is gone, but my reputation among the younger generation of Confucian Xu has been pushed to its peak. Although I don't have the name of the leader of the conference, I have the reality of being the leader. And what about Zhang Fengyue? His current behavior is getting worse and worse. As he becomes more powerful, more and more people will naturally become dissatisfied with him.”

"The most difficult thing for scholars to accept is to be ridden on the neck. Outsiders can do it, but one of their own can never do it. My father and brothers can be killed, let alone him?"

Waves of pious chanting floated from the cliff behind Yan Dongqing, and strong incense rose into the sky like a mountain mist.

"When Zhang Fengyue's true purpose is completely exposed, the desperate people in Confucianism will completely explode. At that time, it will be the best opportunity for me to return to the stage. This is also the reason why Zhang Xiji can still keep me on this mountain. But... "

Yan Dongqing's eyes fell into Liang Gongming's eyes, and he said word by word: "What is your value?"

Liang Gongming's face seemed calm, but his hands hidden in the sleeves of his Taoist robe were constantly rubbing together.

"The battle between the old and the new before Jiazi, the tragic defeat of the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain gave you hope, and Zhang Xiji's fake death made you even more ecstatic. But in the end, a seat with the word "A" as an immortal, forcibly removed you. After blocking it for decades, Zhang Xiji finally came back to life, but with a backhand, he easily destroyed all your previous efforts."

"Perhaps you may also attribute everything to bad luck, and you are upset that Zhang Xianzhen's sword failed to completely kill Zhang Xiji. But have you ever thought about whether all of this was planned by Zhang Xiji? Is it all just a cruel trick he directed and staged in order to get Jin Chan out of his shell?"

"In his eyes, you are so stupid. Apart from becoming a tool for him to fight for hegemony and food for immortality, what other value do you have?"

Liang Gongming said sarcastically: "After all this talk, what's the difference between you and me?"

"There is no difference, so now we are just grasshoppers on a rope, trying to find a way to survive before the current value is completely exhausted."

"Yan Huishou's sharp words are not inferior to those of Zonghengxu whose main business is to play with people's hearts."

Liang Gongming was sincerely convinced and sighed from the bottom of his heart, but the conversation suddenly changed.

"But you are the only one who is dying now, so why should Pindao be anxious?"

Why is Yan Dongqing on the verge of death? Because everyone knew that Li Jun would come to Longhu Mountain soon and personally seek his life.

The purpose of the other party's sudden "disclosure of feelings" to me today must be related to this.

Yan Dongqing explained Liang Gongming's situation thoroughly, and Liang Gongming also saw through Yan Dongqing's thoughts.

"Hahahaha, if there is an edict from the Zhang family to expel me down the mountain, then I admit the word 'near death' you said, but do you think Zhang Xiji means to send me out to calm Li Jun's anger?"

"Since he has promised you safety, why did you jump out so early?"

Liang Gongming squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Isn't Yan Huishou too impatient?"

"The leader of our association is worried that if we wait any longer, it will be worthless for you to cooperate with me."

After hearing this, Liang Gongming could no longer maintain his calmness and asked in a deep voice: "What did he say to you?"

"Does he still need to say this? Do you think once Li Jun really appears in the territory of Longhu Dao Kingdom, who will take the lead? Is it him, Zhang Chongcheng who has the same surname as Zhang, or someone with a foreign surname? you?"

Yan Dongqing said: "So the one who is really 'dying' is you, not me."

"Can you change his mind?"

At this point, Liang Gongming seemed to finally feel the crisis, his eyes showing anxiety.

"cannot."

Anger suddenly surged on Liang Gongming's face, and just when he was about to explode, he heard Yan Dongqing laugh and say: "But I can die for you and help you beg for life."

The raging spiritual thoughts stopped abruptly, and the noisy hair slowly fell back to his shoulders.

Liang Gongming looked at the other person with strange eyes, but his eyes were full of sincerity, without any hint of joking.

"Yan Dongqing, what do you mean?"

Liang Gong obviously didn't have the patience to continue playing these riddles with the other party, so he asked directly.

"Borrowing a corpse to revive a soul is a good way, and I am also going to learn from Zhang Xiji."

Yan Dongqing smiled and said, "It's just that we still need the help of the people behind Master Liang!"

"How do you know?"

"It was just a guess before, but now I know."

Liang Gongming's face was filled with murderous aura, and he laughed angrily: "You are worthy of being the one who dares to compete with Zhang Fengyue for the position of the leader of the Confucian Order. I admire your courage!"

"Master, you are too kind."

Yan Dongqing lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and his attitude was humble.

"I think you have also told Fu Li what you said today?"

Yan Dongqing nodded: "Since it is a guess, we have to try one by one."

"Aren't you afraid that he will betray you?"

"You were forced by the Zhang family to give up the ancestral business of the sect. If you just want to live a miserable life and survive for a hundred years, then you are underestimating all of you. Anyone who has this idea is really stupid and laughable."

"What I said before was just to test Master Liang. I apologize to Master Liang here."

Yan Dongqing clasped his fists and saluted , said in a respectful tone: "In fact, whether it is you, Master Liang, or Fu Li, including the masters of Maoshan and Gezaoshan who have already died, you have followed the teachings of your ancestors and worked hard for the rise of the sect. Have you ever been afraid of life and death?"

"Since you are not afraid of death, you will definitely do everything you can to let the Zhang family taste the taste of being destroyed. Although Fu Li was not favored by the East Palace, he was also unwilling to be a dog for the Zhang family. How could he betray me?"

Liang Gongming fell into a long silence, and his trembling pupils proved that his mind was in shock at the moment.

After a full cup of tea, Liang Gongming sighed and said slowly: "Yan Dongqing, I can help you once, but the reward you have to give is far from enough with a body."

"Of course."

Yan Dongqing said respectfully: "In my conception, there will be no room for the existence of any Dao Kingdom in this land."

"Okay! But if you dare to fool me, I will never let you go in this life."

Liang Gongming took a step forward, his eyes like a sword out of the sheath, and the sharp edge was pointed directly at the other side's face.

"I, Yan Dongqing, dare to deceive the king and fool the gods, but I will never dare to betray the person who is determined to die."

On the top of the mountain, the two stood side by side again, and their eyes fell to somewhere below at the same time.

On a slightly lower mountaintop in the distance, Zhang Chongcheng stood in front of a hall, looked up, and bowed to the two people from a distance.

"He may be a useful person."

"He deserves death, not life."

Yan Dongqing and Liang Gongming had the same smile on their faces, and bowed to Zhang Chongcheng at the same time.

"From now on, order people to completely clean up the remaining Taoist believers in Shu. Those who can eradicate their beliefs will be given money to release them, and those who are obsessed and fanatical will be stamped with the Confucian Seal. If even the seal can't clean their brains, you know what to do."

In Chengdu Prefecture, Pei Xingjian looked at the huge ruins blasted out by the Tiangui Star in front of him, and the anger in his eyes could not stop gushing out.

"Send a message to the Confucius Temples in all prefectures and counties. Once they find a Taoist believer in their jurisdiction, they should deal with it themselves, and there is no need to report it!"

"Yes."

The Confucian Seals standing behind him responded loudly and rushed in all directions.

"Mr. Pei, Mr. Zhang is awake."

The old official Xu Zhun, who was standing aside with his hands behind his back, came close and spoke softly.
