Great Blue Night Watchman

Ming Tianyan nodded lightly: "In any war, when fighting in the front, you are most afraid of chaos in the rear. According to Confucianism, you don't want your military strategists to do things too smoothly. Therefore, peel off the halo of orthodoxy on them and beat them. Falling into the altar does help to prevent the battle from being disrupted. "What's the second reason?"

"The second reason..." Lin Su sat down at the coffee table and held up the tea cup: "The second reason is that I am forcing them to fight for a big showdown!"

"Big showdown?" Ming Tianyan's heart skipped a beat.

Lin Su smiled softly: "Exactly!"

"A big showdown... A big showdown... Has it reached the level of a big showdown now?"

Lin Su took a sip of tea: "What do you think?"

Ming Tianyan slowly raised her eyes, her eyes were filled with blurred light...

There is very little decisiveness among saints.

It is rare for saints to face each other head-on.

There are even fewer big showdowns.

However, things are not absolute. In the past, there was no big showdown because there was no need for a big showdown. It was because things were far from reaching the stage where saints needed to fight with force.

But what now?

The current situation has fundamentally changed.

The camp of Soldier Saint has added too many people, Yi Saint, Dao Saint, Yin Yang Saint, Farmer Saint, and Mo Saint. These are the five saints that can be confirmed. There are also three saints. Although the tendency is not obvious, but Obviously it can be fought for. Which three? Famous sage, historical sage, and medical sage.

This situation was very clear that day when Zhang Weikong was competing for the position of palace master.

Everyone knows that Zhang Weikong will be most beneficial to the Bingsheng faction once he takes office as the master of the palace. Therefore, whether Zhang Weikong can successfully ascend to the throne is actually a head-to-head confrontation between the two competing factions.

People from the Bingsheng faction will protect themselves to death.

Will people from the Confucian sect die?

According to the consensus reached by all the saints in advance, the master of the palace was selected. Seventeen saints voted, and the minority obeyed the majority.

Then, it should be clear at a glance who is on which team.

Whichever queue reaches nine people (more than half) first, the proposition of that queue will become temple law.

Zhang Weikong's voting process went very smoothly, and the result was 17 to 0. It seemed that there was no game, but it was actually very mysterious.

There are three types of people who vote, three completely different types.

The first situation is really supported, the Sage of War, the Sage of Yi, the Sage of Yin and Yang, the Sage of Mo, the Sage of Tao, and the Sage of Agriculture. They have more or less elements of factionalism.

The second situation is the neutral ones. They do not participate in factional struggles and are truly pure spokesmen of the holy way. They simply feel that Zhang Weikong is suitable for the temple master, and they take matters into consideration. Who are they? Famous sages, historical sages and medical sages.

The third situation is more subtle. The remaining eight saints delayed their stance until the end. They only spoke out after the Confucian saint expressed their stance. What does it mean?

It means that they are on the side of the Confucian sage.

They originally wanted to veto Zhang Weikong, but they couldn't find a reason to veto it for a while. After the Nine Saints expressed their stance, their stance became meaningless. Even if they all opposed it, it would be ineffective at all, so they just went down the slope. Donkey, let's do something grand.

In this way, the situation between the two parties has been clearly seen.

The military sage and the Confucian sage can go hand in hand.

Now that the Confucian saint has lost another painting saint, his power has been further weakened.

Lin Su once again dealt a fatal blow to the Confucian sage today, knocking down the supreme authority of the Confucian sage from the altar. Confucianism did not have an advantage in the Taoist system at first.

This is the first reversal in thousands of years.

And this process is completely irreversible. It can even be said that as time goes by, the ups and downs of military affairs will become more and more obvious. Why? Because in the following situation, the unintentional catastrophe is getting closer and closer, and military affairs will overwhelm everything!

In a situation where military affairs are overwhelming, the weight of military strategists will obviously be further enhanced and the power of Confucianism will be further reduced.

What would the Confucian sage do in this situation? What would people from his faction do?

There is only one option...

If you don't do one thing, you won't stop doing the other thing, and it will be a big showdown!

As long as the six saints represented by the Soldier Saint are eliminated, the already out-of-control balance will tilt towards them again!

This is the "big showdown" Lin Su mentioned today!

It is impossible for ordinary people to think so deeply, but Ming Tianyan can, because she is eight hundred years old, because she has thought too much about this topic in the past time, and because she is in a high position and has access to many levels of secrets too high...

She knew clearly that this kind of showdown, which was completely beyond the expectations of the world, was possible.

In the past, if she suddenly thought of such a terrible thing, she would be frightened. However, today, her little husband... Bah, her fellow travelers mysteriously told her: I will force them to show off!

Damn it!

Ming Tianyan slowly withdrew his gaze: "How will they operate in the big showdown?"

"They have come so far. In fact, they don't have many options. It can even be said that there is only one option!" Lin Su said.

"What?"

"It's the chess piece we laid down a long time ago!"

Ming Tianyan's heart was beating wildly: "You are colluding with the saints from the foreign lands of Tianwaitian, uniting these saints, and killing the Six Saints here?"

"yes!"

Ming Tianyan held up the tea cup...

The tea cup rippled gently in her hand, and the tea was just like her messy state of mind.

What kind of crazy decision is this to unite with the saints from a foreign land to kill the six local saints?

However, from her height, it's completely acceptable.

As Lin Su said, this is the only option for the Confucian Sage faction.

Why?

Because there are very few forces that can be borrowed to start the confrontation between the saints of the three heavens.

It is impossible for ordinary forces to intervene, and intervention is useless. The armies of one country and two countries can't even make a few waves in front of the saints.

To truly achieve the purpose of killing the saints, the borrowed power must be a saint.

And how many saints are there in the world?

How many can they contact?

Probably only the alien world of the heaven.

Some people may say that the saints of the heaven are from alien worlds, and it is not the job of the human race's Confucian saints to communicate with them? Bullshit! If they really have a bottom line, why would there be a "Heavenly River Tribulation"?

Some people may say that the saints of alien worlds cannot break through the border city's heavenly cordon, and even if they join forces with them, they can't do anything too extraordinary. However, Ming Tianyan also knows that the Wenbao Hall of the Holy Temple has something that can break through the heavenly cordon.

Some people may also say, why should the saints of alien worlds listen to you, the Confucian saint? What can you do to attract them?

Ming Tianyan also knew that the temple happened to have things that the foreign saints needed, such as: Saint Crystals! Saint Crystals are the condensation of Saint Power. Foreign saints do not integrate into the heavenly way of this place. If they use less Saint Power, they will need this kind of Saint Crystals the most (Saint Crystals are like mobile phone power banks for them)...

The reason is not a problem, the operation is not a problem...

The only problem is: Do the people on the side of the Confucian Saint know that the 36 Saints of the foreign land are actually Lin Su's people!

Facing Ming Tianyan's question, Lin Su smiled lightly: "It can be confirmed that so far, they don't know the real inside story of the foreign land's 'Heavenly Dao destroys the Saint'."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because the Painting Saint has just completed my verification!"

Ming Tianyan nodded slowly: "The Painting Saint is the Confucian Saint's iron confidant. If he knew the inside story of 'Heavenly Dao destroys the Saint', he would not fall for your 'Illusionary Spirit Root' strategy of destroying the whole family. He fell for this strategy of destroying the whole family, which also proves that so far, the other party does not know your real secret, and it is really possible for you to 'take advantage of the situation'!"

"That's right!" Lin Su said: "I will strengthen this camp step by step, weaken the other side's camp step by step, and slowly form an irreversible trend, which is to force them to burn their boats and implement the ultimate showdown! Then use the strategy against them to truly eliminate the forces standing at the highest level of the temple."

"If this group of forces is not eliminated, the Wuxin Great Tribulation cannot truly unite against the outside world!"

"Yes!"

"In this group of forces, we can't tell who has ulterior motives and who just goes with the flow. But when the big showdown comes, everything will be clear."

"Yes!"

"You have said everything clearly, but I still feel a little sad..." Ming Tianyan said: "The heartless catastrophe will come in three years. Will these people standing at the top of the human race really ignore the annihilation disaster brought by the heartless catastrophe? Are they still focusing on their own little piece of land today?"

"The annihilation disaster?" Lin Su smiled lightly: "It's not them who will be destroyed! I'm betting on my only little bit of innocence. I bet that among the people at the top, someone will have a crazy idea."

"What kind of idea?"

Lin Su said: "When the Heavenly Dao collapses, pick the Heavenly Dao Dao fruit, and then become another Heavenly Dao spokesperson in another sense, and rise one step above their saintly fruit position!"

His smile was full of sarcasm.

His words were infinitely crazy.

However, a cold wind blew in Ming Tianyan's heart...

This statement is crazy, but is it really impossible?

The heartless catastrophe is certain to come.

And when this catastrophe comes, the way of heaven will collapse.

This is the consensus recognized by all saints. Facing this consensus, the saints acted a little too calm, so calm that it was unbelievable...

Are they really willing to die in the catastrophe three years later?

Or are they confident that they can escape from the heartless catastrophe?

No!

This is not logical!

What is really logical is Lin Su's madness.

Perhaps some saints have already had such plans. Anyway, the heartless catastrophe is coming, and all the ways in the world will not exist. At that time, what kind of shitty way of heaven is protecting T mother? We pick the fruit of the broken way of heaven ourselves, and we have part of the power of heaven. At that time, we will be the spokesperson of heaven, and we can continue our glory, even more glorious than our past glory.

As for all things in the world, hundreds of billions of people, what does it have to do with me?

If saints have such thoughts, it is the most terrible! Because they are local saints, they are the people closest to the Heavenly Dao in this world. If they want to seize the Heavenly Dao fruit, it is a thousand times easier than foreigners, and the probability of success is also a thousand times greater...

Ming Tianyan exhaled in one breath, as if a thousand years of time had passed: "As a saint of literature, you are the natural guardian of this Heavenly Dao. If you steal from the public, it is undoubtedly easier than outsiders... Are there any clues?"

"Yes!"

"Yes? What kind of clues?" Ming Tianyan's face changed drastically.

Pure speculation is just speculation no matter how crazy it is, but it is the most terrifying when there are clues...

"As the saying goes, one leaf can tell the coming of autumn, many clues have already appeared!" Lin Su said: "Do you remember the analysis we once had? The military master's words that day revealed the thousand-year-old fig leaf of "one line, one surname", and we also expected that this move would force most of the saints to the opposite side of us. We selected fellow travelers based on the thinking of "better to have nothing than to have something too bad". I didn't expect that our fellow travelers would come so many and so quickly, but... they just came. This abnormality is a clue!"

Ming Tianyan slowly raised his head: "One Dao and One Family is related to the vital interests of all saints except Bing Zun. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to shake it, unless there is some super shocking mental torture... They are willing to give up the dividends of one Dao and one Family and truly change their positions because they vaguely see the clues we are talking about!"

"That's right, don't underestimate the saints. Every saint is an individual. Some people go all the way towards the path of self-interest, and some people go forward without hesitation towards the road of benefiting the world. But there are also some people who have lost their way, but faced with major mental torture, they finally cleared the fog and glimpsed the true face of the saintly way..." Lin Su said: "It's really a headache to analyze such a high-end situation. Come Come on, take a break, take a walk in the Worry-free Wonderland, and relax! ”

Ming Tianyan groaned: "I think my role positioning is really a bit biased..."

"No need to consider the role issue, you should feel very proud..."

"Proud? My eight hundred years of peace have been disrupted by you, where is the pride? Where is the pride?"

"There are more than thousands of people in the world who are messing around at this moment? There are more than thousands of people in the world who are analyzing problems at this moment, but who else in the world can analyze the high-end situation while messing around? This... is pride!"

Ming Tianyan was completely confused...

After a mess, Ming Tianyan sighed softly, and really found a little pride in her heart. What kind of pride? There are thousands of women in the world, how many of them can still talk about girlishness at the age of eight hundred? I am such a rare person in the world, I am proud!

At the same time, the main hall of the temple was covered with a bright moon.

A bright moon was in the main hall, reflecting the main hall like a starry sky.

Under the starry sky, the three hundred elders discussed the Western Expedition for the third time.

Yes, the proposal of the Western Expedition has been discussed three times.

The first time, the third elder (Legalist) took the lead and criticized the "Bounty Order" as nothing, which aroused widespread recognition. The word "Western Expedition" was not even mentioned and was rejected.

Zhang Weikong cursed Lin Su, the bastard, in his heart. You are not good enough. I just took office, and you forced me to stuff such a hot potato. Do you think my hair and beard are not completely white?

But no matter what, he had to go another way. The second elder meeting completely avoided the "Bounty Order". Zhang Weikong compromised himself and said: Let's skip the "Bounty Order" and just talk about whether it is necessary to carry out the Western Expedition itself.

This time there was much less noise.

However, the second elder (Confucianist) came to a long speech. The war was dangerous and dangerous, and it was used as a last resort. Is it a last resort now? Not necessarily! The demons outside the city gate are also the products of the heavenly way. The lower level realm can be suppressed by force, and the higher level realm can be taught. If the teaching is completed, wouldn’t it be an unexpected help? With their strength, they can resist the invasion of foreign lands. Even if they cannot resist, it is better than letting the human race and the invaders fight hand to hand. It is necessary to know that war is dangerous and the lives of hundreds of millions of human races cannot be ignored...

These words are reasonable and most people are moved.

However, the fifth elder said hard: "If the teaching is completed, it can reach the ultimate wonderland mentioned by the second elder. It is indeed good, but who will teach? Why not the second elder go outside the city gate in person and complete the teaching you said in two years?"

The second elder was speechless on the spot.

The whole audience changed direction directly.

You are right, you envision an ideal realm, but is it feasible?

There are only three years left in the unintentional catastrophe, not three hundred years! Not even three thousand years!

It has been three thousand years since the "Ten Thousand Races of the Same Religion" grand strategy proposed by your Confucianism. How many people have you successfully educated?

In just three years, you still want to educate the descendants of these foreigners and their loyal lackeys?

Are you overthinking it?

If you insist that it is feasible, then it's fine, come on!

I can only give you two years, because the Wuxin Great Tribulation will arrive in three years, and the effective education time is only two years.

This is a hard word!

No one interrupted.

Opinions began to diverge around the Western Expedition.

This is the result of the second elders' meeting, and the two sides were evenly divided.

The elders were convened again today to mention the Western Expedition again.

The situation is completely different.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall has completely changed.

This was caused by a "Book of Confessions" yesterday.

As soon as the book came out, the representatives of the Le family and the painters were silent throughout the whole process. Among them, there were many who jumped high, but would they dare to jump today? Your ancestors are all evil demons. If you dare to say that the Western Expedition cannot be launched, other elders will immediately question you: What? You and your ancestors will stand together?

How do you want them to answer?

They have no way to answer, so they remain silent, do not cause trouble, do not stir up trouble, and do not speak.

And what about the Confucian elders?

Today, someone spoke up, still reiterating the Confucian view that war is dangerous. Before he finished speaking, an elder of the Taoist school interrupted him directly: "Elder Nineteen, don't forget that a thousand years ago, the Temple had reached a consensus on the Western Expedition and achieved great results. If it weren't for Wu Zheng, the old demon, who made trouble, there would be no need to discuss the Western Expedition today. If you set up obstacles to the Western Expedition again, I really have to ask, what are your intentions?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was completely silent.

Because his words contained three meanings.

First, the Western Expedition is not such a difficult hurdle to overcome. It was achieved a thousand years ago and was close to success.

Secondly, the painting saint Wu Zheng destroyed three thousand Confucian temples. This old thief actually served as the painting saint in the temple for a thousand years. It was the fault of your Confucian saint. Your Confucianism made a big mistake and ruined 80,000 miles of territory. Shouldn't it make up for it?

Thirdly, it is the right way to march west again, recover lost territory, and rebuild the Confucian temple. Anyone who blocks it is doing what Wu Zheng did that day. Is it possible that you are also evil?

Zhang Weikong stood up slowly: "The temple elders' meeting strives to be fair, just and open. Give everyone enough time to discuss politics, but the topic itself cannot be delayed indefinitely. Tonight is the final vote. The voting process and voting results are recorded in full for everyone to view. Come on, those who agree to march west and rebuild the Confucian temple, stand on the platform!"

Among the three hundred elders, 30% of them flew up at the first time.

Landed on the platform.

Another adult slowly walked out and went up to the platform.

The last group of people could no longer sit still and went up to the platform one after another.

Zhang Weikong looked at the densely packed elders around him, and the empty space below, and he still smiled in his heart.

The so-called good cannot defeat evil, that's how it works.

One disclosure!

It is enough to make some people's little calculations disappear invisibly!

Those who disagree with them dare to talk freely in front of the temple master, but does he dare to expose himself to the sun? Does he dare to accept further review with the title of "ulterior motives"?

Does he dare to face Lin Su's holy way to cleanse his heart?

Don't think that Lin Su can't do it!

He dared to face the law saint and directly accuse the law saint of not understanding the law, he dared to force the Confucian saint to write a book of self-criticism, and he dared to say to the saint: Don't challenge my bottom line, otherwise don't blame the kid for not knowing the severity of the attack.

Whether the elders admit it or not, they are afraid of this temple's exception...

No one knows how many factors played a role in the unanimous vote of this vote, but the result has come out, the west expedition!

The decision to march westward, voted by the elders of the temple and signed by the master of the temple, was passed to the three heavens!

What can the saints in the three heavens do?

Do they dare to go against the elders who represent the collective will of the temple?

As long as you dare to veto, you will make yourself a lonely person.

This is one of the most terrifying powers of the new structure of the temple. A single elder is like an ant in the eyes of the saints, but three hundred elders plus the master of the temple represent the mainstream will of the temple.

Your status as a saint is high above, but your status is the dignity of the Tao, not your personal dignity. If you dare to go against the elders, you will go against the right way. Although you are a saint, you will also be a lonely person.

During the critical period of the great road competition, the Confucian side was not dominant. If you lose the mainstream public opinion of the temple, what's the point of playing?

Let's talk about Lin Su, sitting in the golden boat with Ming Tianyan, going up along the Holy River...

There is a huge canyon in front, and under the canyon, there are many scenes.

There is the most fascinating place in the temple and even in the whole world - Wenbao Hall.

When people mention Wenbao Hall, most of them have a stereotyped impression that Wenbao Hall should be tall and unparalleled, standing on the top of the mountain, like a fairyland on earth.

In fact, it is just the opposite.

Wenbao Hall is not on the top of the mountain, it is under the river.

Why?

It is said that Wenhui flows in the great river, and Wenbao is like a lost pearl.

The so-called Wenbao is a lost pearl in the long river of Wendao.

Wenbao is an attachment of Wendao, and it is also the crystallization of Wendao.

This positioning is not good for Wenbao Hall, because it is an appendage of Wendao, so it is only one of the twenty-three side palaces and cannot enter the main palace.

However, it does not prevent the people of Wenbao Hall from being arrogant.

Because the job of Wenbao Hall is very good.

It is a very typical palace of power that is not famous, but can make a fortune.

There are Wenbao rewards for the publication of the world's handed-down Qingci.

There are Wenbao rewards for making holy achievements in the temple.

However, it was not clear what the prizes were. As for what the prizes were, it was up to Wenbaotang to decide.

In other words, they had great power. In the Holy Temple, when disciples of Wenbaotang went out of the palace, they were often accompanied by top disciples from other palaces. Because of this friendship, the Wenbao you got at some point might be of a completely different level from that of others.
