Dao Fruit

Not long after the imperial court's camp along the river was breached in one fell swoop, news came to Qinghai City from Lingnan, where the main altar of the White Lotus Sect was located, in a very short period of time. ?

It is said to be the main altar, but it is actually Magpie Nest Jiuzhan. This main altar is actually the residence of the warlords who ruled this place during the previous dynasty. They called it "Xingwangfu". Afterwards, the Dali unified the country and wanted to raze it, but it was too late. The ancestors thought that it would cost the people and money, so they left it as a royal palace.

This palace occupies a vast area with continuous palaces. It may not be as good as the imperial palace, but in terms of scale alone, it is at least one-tenth the size. It can be described as magnificent. The White Lotus Sect has penetrated Lingnan, and its leader has long been interested in it. After arriving at Prince Xing's Mansion, he raised his troops and raised the flag this time. The young leader immediately occupied this mansion as a religious palace, and simply divided the ministers among themselves.

At this moment, in the main hall of the palace, several people were sitting around a strange stone basin.

The large basin is oval in shape, with carved stone carvings on the edges. The sparkling water inside is reflected by the lights in the palace, and the ripples of light are reflected on the faces of the people around it, making their faces colorful and blurry, which makes them feel strange.

In the center of this group of people is a young man wearing a white robe. There are several lotus flowers embroidered on the robe. There are two five-clawed dragons shuttled among the lotus flowers, and there is a faint dragon aura coming out.

This person is none other than the leader of the White Lotus Sect. He looked at the scene in the basin attentively, smiling from time to time, and suddenly pointed inward and said: "National Master, great things are expected in Jiangnan. Look at this luck basin, I, the White Lotus Saint, The luck of the teacher became more and more turbulent, suppressing the yellow carp."

An old man on the side heard this and said respectfully: "It's all thanks to the good luck of the leader. You were orthodox in the previous dynasty and had a pure dragon spirit. Now that you raise the flag of righteousness, you will naturally slay evil and retreat." This man has a majestic face, but his whole body is full of dignity. He exudes a sinister atmosphere and wears a black robe. The robe is also embroidered with bones.

If Qiu Yan and Yin Xiao'e were here and saw the old man's face, they would recognize him immediately——

This person is none other than Taishi Dong, who occupies a tribe in the Land of Relics and is very powerful.

This Grand Master Dong was originally a minister of the former dynasty. By chance, he entered the Land of Relics and understood the ways of ghosts and monsters. But in fact, it was just the ways of ghosts in the Land of Relics. It was quite different from the outside world. After he left After the Land of Relics. There was no news from him, but now he appears in the White Lotus Sect's main altar and has become the leader's national teacher.

Here, as Master Dong’s words fell, another voice sounded from the other side——

"Leader Hongfu, there's nothing to say, but we shouldn't take it lightly. Although the journey north went smoothly, we used too many of the mind-deflecting talismans we accumulated. How many have I made in total over the years? I just spent them within a few days of marching. Half of it is consumed too quickly, so it’s not worth it! You must know that the raw materials of this mind-deflecting charm are rarely found in Donghua Buzhou. They are not used on real court officials, but are wasted on spineless people. It’s a pity for those who surrendered.”

The man who spoke was skinny, with messy hair and beard. He looks like a beggar on the roadside, but he is very well-dressed. Because his body is too thin, it is difficult to hold up his clothes, and he does not look very solemn.

Master Dong glanced at this person and said: "As for the results of the battle, I know that it is not easy for you to make a talisman, and I don't need to remind you all the time. Now when you are about to go all out, if you stop moving, how can you build up your momentum?"

"I'm not taking the opportunity to claim credit," the man named Yu Zhanguo grinned, "When I was imprisoned, there were many people imprisoned with me, but they were limited after all, so this mind-confusing talisman It's also limited. If it weren't for their life essence, how could it have such a miraculous effect? ​​It would be extremely difficult to get such an opportunity again. "

"Both of you are the pillars of the Holy Religion, and we must not let this incident ruin our harmony." Next to him, the young leader hurriedly stepped forward to calm him down. "However, what Mr. Yu said is also reasonable. The situation is very good now, so we might as well not use this deception for the time being." The talisman will be used when it can be used. I think the current manpower is enough. "

"Master," Grand Master Dong shook his head, "We can't stop. The mind-deflecting talisman was made to be used. We don't need it now. If the situation changes, it might be useless. So what's the point of leaving so many of them? use?"

Seeing that Na Yu wanted to talk about the results of the war, he continued: "To conquer the world, it is not only about military strength, but also about people's hearts and general trend. To be honest, although Dali cannot be said to be monolithic, the new victory in the national war and the reform also filled the national treasury. , the aristocratic family is considered home, at this time, how can it shake the world? Even if it can be occupied for a while, it will not last long."

Another person on the side said: "Although what the Imperial Master said is true, we are not bent on destruction. We also have some management measures. As time goes by, we can stabilize ourselves."

This man was very handsome, but there was a terrifying scar at the corner of his eye. When he spoke, his tone was soft.

Grand Master Dong glanced at this man and said with a smile: "Boss Shu, you think things are too simple. Attacking with troops and being gentle and peaceful can make the people stable. The people will not be grateful for this, because we are the ones who broke it. Their calmness, once the imperial army arrives, these people will change their banner. "

Nayu Zhanguo smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? As long as I confuse the truth and cause and effect, I can make the stupid people treat me like a father. I don't know how many people in this world have brought war and disaster to the people, but they still make the people feel grateful. ”

Grand Master Dong narrowed his eyes slightly: "You only know one of them. You must know that the real control of various places is the clan and family. The workshops, fields, and shops are all under their control. Even the subordinates who work in the government have thousands of clues. We have a close connection with each other, so we can’t offend them, but we can’t count on their loyalty either…”

"So..." the man surnamed Shu thought thoughtfully, "Is the mind-deflecting talisman really for people from these aristocratic families? If they are completely surrendered, even if the people's hearts are in Dali, they will not be able to talk to each other."

"Yes," Taishi Dong nodded and continued, "Many of the officials who surrendered along the way were arrogant. They may be punished by the court, but as long as the families behind them do not completely surrender and do not do things that endanger the country, the puppet emperor will not Offend them, after all, the emperor who is in charge of Jinluan is still a person, and it is the aristocratic family, clan, and gentry who govern the world and maintain moral order. "

He looked back at the leader and said: "The army is marching north, and officials along the way surrender and deceive them. It seems like a waste, but the families behind these people will be involved. Once the hearts of the families are shaken, the general trend of the world will change. Only by changing can we gain momentum and be qualified to fight against the false emperor Darui!"

As he spoke, he lowered his voice: "To take a step back, to confuse people all the way is to shorten the management time, which is equivalent to conquering a city, and then manage and consolidate it, making it impregnable, allowing the holy religion to take root, and there will be a way out. Even if you can't reverse the Dragon Vein for the time being, you can still take a back seat and rule across the river with Darui, commanding half of the country!"

"So that's it! The Imperial Master is really far-sighted!" When the leader heard this, he suddenly realized and showed joy, "In this case, by then I can be called a loner and a king, and half of the country is a prosperous land in the south. , That’s the essence of the world!”

Grand Master Dong frowned: "Master, how can you be satisfied with this? You are the orthodoxy of the world and the orthodox of the Dragon Vein. If the situation forces you to temporarily live in the south, it is also an expedient measure to weaken the puppet dynasty, strengthen yourself, and save up later. Enough, I will eventually regain control of the world to live up to my Daqi bloodline! Now, the situation seems good, but it is not the time to enjoy the results of the victory, nor to think about what will happen after it is accomplished. Make things big and do them well!”

"Yes, that's what the Imperial Master taught me." The leader quickly lowered his head and hid the joy in his eyes.

"National Master, even if what you say is reasonable, you can't just plant talismans on all the crooked melons and cracked dates, right? We still need to be screened. Besides, even if we control useless people, when we rule the world, won't we? Still useless? Still a waste." Yu Zhanguo complained with a smile.

"When it's time to work hard, don't be stingy with your investment. If you don't invest at this time, you won't have the chance to dominate the world, so why waste it?" Grand Master Dong glanced at him, "Instead of thinking too much about the future, it's better to think about the current situation. "

"Everything is going well." Yu Zhanguo seemed to have some conflict with Grand Master Dong and immediately retorted.

Master Dong said: "The journey to the north went smoothly, but there is not much news about the other routes. Moreover, there has been no news for more than two days from the sea route and Jiannan route. I don't know what happened. Maybe there has been a change."

"There shouldn't be much of a problem. After all, there are tens of thousands of troops. Even if there is a temporary obstacle, it will not be silent," the man named Shu interjected, "Besides, it is inconvenient to send letters by sea, and the land south of Jian has to pass through the swamp. Due to Fonum's interference, according to the master, the glory of Buddhism still has some influence on the magical power of the Holy Religion."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes moved and fell on a corner of the hall.

There, a monk sat cross-legged.

Even though everyone was quarreling beside the stone basin, the monk was not affected much and kept his eyes closed.

Nowadays, because of the Dafan Temple on the edge of Xingjing, Buddhism has a place in Darui, but its influence is not deep. Although the Konghui, Emptiness, and Emptiness of the Buddhist temple in charge are famous themselves, they are like representatives of a single school. It doesn't appear to be special, but there are many more monks walking among the people.

Noticing everyone's gazes, the monk smiled slightly, without opening his eyes, and said: "Leader, there is no need to worry. The four-pronged army is an upright master and will open a way forward for the leader. There will be no surprises."

The leader of the White Lotus Church smiled and said: "If there is a master, I will feel relieved. I think the holy religion will soon blossom and bear fruit in the south..."

thump!

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound in the stone basin. Two carps jumped up from it, one yellow and one black. Then they fell down and were entangled in a white lotus in the basin.
