Daxia Lingxian

Every time Tang Pharmacist saw Lu Pianpian, there would always be discord between master and disciple.

The master and the apprentice are obviously as close as father and daughter, but their grievances and grudges are hard to explain, and they can't be resolved and become chaotic.

Medicine Master Tang seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden. "She must have relied on divine power because the price was too high. A catastrophe was imminent and her soul was annihilated."

"Even if she doesn't die, she might become a monster... Maybe death would be a better outcome."

"Oh, this girl actually has a hard life. Brother Lu, I'm sorry for your entrustment..."

Luo Ning and Su Chuo did not expect that Medicine Master Tang would be sad because of Lu Pianpian, the evil disciple who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors.

When Medicine Master Tang said this, he suddenly asked:

"Aren't you the Lord of the Netherworld? Do you care about the six realms of reincarnation? She won't suffer in the underworld, right? She deceived her master and destroyed her ancestors, so her karma is not small."

"Can you say hello to the ghost official in charge of reincarnation so that she can have a good reincarnation?"

Luo Ning's face turned green, "Grandpa, you are asking me to bend the law for personal gain. This goes against the path of cause and effect in the underworld. You must not do it."

Luo Ning did not tell Pharmacist Tang Lu Pianpian's whereabouts, but gave perfunctory words of comfort:

"She has a lot of charisma, and the result of reincarnation will not be bad, so you can relax."

Pharmacist Tang shook his head and sighed, "If you don't help me with this, what's the use of being the Lord of the Underworld? Can you really be so selfless? I don't believe it!"

"If I were to die, wouldn't you say hello and let me have a better reincarnation?"

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not." Luo Ning was too lazy to argue with Medicine Master Tang, "The Netherworld Road is extremely profound and mysterious. How can it be used for selfish purposes?"

"If you always want to be rewarded, you can only accumulate negative virtues and have kind thoughts in your heart."

"Fuck..." As soon as Tang Yaoshi cursed one word, he swallowed the word "fart".

Because he remembered that Luo Ning was a "god"!

Don't dare to scold.

Don’t you see that in Yizhou today, holy ghost temples are being built everywhere?

With so many holy ghost temples built, how can we still get incense?

"Forget it." Medicine Master Tang sighed and looked at Su Chuo again, "What can she say before she dies?"

"Any last words?"

Su Chuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head lightly: "I have no last words."

Pharmacist Tang looked bleak and lost, "She disappeared without saying hello? This unfilial person has wasted all my efforts to train her."

"None of my children is as good as her as a disciple, but he is an evil disciple, and he died in the middle."

"The white-haired man gives the black-haired man a gift."

"Well, in retrospect, although this evil disciple is unfilial and not too bad to me, he is a sharp-tongued person with a cruel heart..."

"Now that she has died, I am not used to it."

The pharmacist of the Tang Dynasty was chattering away, his face full of grief and grief, and his expression was extremely regretful.

Luo Ning opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't tell the truth.

The secrets of the fairy world must not be revealed easily!

But he didn't expect that Medicine Master Tang would care so much about the evil disciple who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors.

They are called Master and Disciple, just like father and daughter.

Tang Pharmacist was despondent, "Most of the true priests of the past dynasties died of Tao catastrophes that could not pay the price."

"As the leader of the cult, I naturally have to practice the art of worshiping gods. I will inevitably bear a price that is difficult to repay."

"Pianpian finally died because of this, and I guess I can't escape. Falling is not the worst ending. The worst is mutation and demonization..."

"This is a calamity that is very difficult for the leader of the True Sacrifice to survive."

Pharmacist Tang looked at Luo Ning seriously, "This calamity is the price of cause and effect, and you can only pay it back by yourself. If I lose my sense of self and become a demon...you will destroy me!"

Luo Ning frowned and shook his head, "Why do you want me to do it? You are my grandfather. Even if you lose yourself after becoming a demon, I can't take action."

Tang Yaoshi said: "Once you become possessed by a demon or become alienated, your strength will be doubled! If you don't take action, who among the other real people can control me?"

Luo Ning asked: "Then the sect leaders in the past turned into demons or mutated after the catastrophe, and who was able to subdue them?"

Tang Yaoshi said: "He was subdued by the successor of the mantle who is also qualified to practice the method of worshiping gods, that is, the young leader, also known as the death sender."

"Only those who are qualified to practice the art of worshiping gods know how to end the leader's life simply and decently when the leader's calamity comes."

"The successor of my mantle in the church, the one who will die, is of course Pianpian."

"But she died before me. Once I suffer a calamity, who will be the person who dies?"

Luo Ning had never heard Lu Pianpian mention these words of Pharmacist Tang. Or maybe it's because Lu Pianpian is still very young and hasn't had time to inherit the mantle.

Or maybe she is a little different from previous leaders?

In any case, after listening to what Tang Yaoshi said, Luo Ning was worried about Lu Pianpian.

Luo Ning said: "Since the price of practicing the God Sacrifice is so high and the price is not easy to be exempted, why do you have to practice it? Is it worth it?"

Pharmacist Tang shook his head: "Who can survive? Even if a real person dies, he will only live for hundreds of years."

"Many times, compared with strength, what does a few more years of life mean?"

"Although the price of the great method of sacrificing gods is high, its power is rarely matched by magical powers. More importantly, it can greatly enhance the ability to control crowds. The art of controlling crowds is unique and unique in the world."

"Otherwise, how can we become the number one religion in the world that threatens the imperial court?"

"Besides, if Tianzi is not lucky enough, it is absolutely impossible to practice."

Luo Ning understood. Why is the cost so high? Even with Lu Pianpian's peerless beauty, she still has to practice the art of worshiping gods.

It turns out that it can also greatly enhance the ability to control crowds!

It has the same effect as his demon-controlling domineering spirit.

This is an advantage that other methods do not have.

Medicine Master Tang said sternly: "One day, you will help me by seeing me die. Grandpa doesn't want to become a monster, bring harm to the world, and be besieged and killed in the end."

Luo Ning sighed and said helplessly:

"Well, if the price of grandpa's karma cannot be compensated, and a disaster is imminent, and I can't solve it, I will take action to see you die."

Pharmacist Tang nodded, "Remember your words and leave."

"Lord Holy Ghost, I am waiting for your great cause of faith."

After saying that, he waved his hand and turned to leave.

Luo Ning and Su Chuo looked at Tang Yaoshi's desolate back and remained silent for a long time.

Suddenly, Su Chuo said quietly: "I had the same dream for three consecutive nights."

"Huh?" Luo Ning turned to look at the stunningly beautiful girl, "What did Chuoer dream about?"

Su Chuo's beautiful face became a little strange.

"I dreamed that I... had horns, dragon horns."

What? Luo Ning looked startled when he heard this.

Immediately, a bad feeling arose in my heart.

……

The twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month is the birthday of Mrs. Zhou Tiren, the first assistant.

At night, all the ministers visited the chief minister's residence one after another to congratulate his wife on her birthday.

Even Liu Guoguan, the second assistant to the cabinet, went.

Most of the ministers from the six ministries and five mansions came to the chief minister's mansion to gather together in the name of birthday wishes.

Zhou Tiren had been an official for more than a hundred years. His disciples and former officials were all over the world, and his Confucianism and Taoism reached its peak. He was a veteran of the three dynasties and the head of the Confucian officials in the dynasty. He was highly virtuous and respected, and held a very popular position.

More than five hundred courtiers gathered together, and all the heroes gathered together, almost treating the residence of the Chief Minister as the Daming Palace.

For those who didn’t know, I thought a court meeting would be held in the Zhou Mansion.

"Brother Zhou," said Liu Guoguan, the second assistant second only to Zhou Tiren among the officials, "Although we are dedicated to serving the public good, if we gather like this, Your Majesty knows that it may be a misunderstanding..."

The rally was secretly initiated by Zhou Tiren. Liu Guoguan actually felt that it was a risk, but he had to come.

At this moment, everyone must work together to overcome the crisis.

More than five hundred pairs of eyes looked at Zhou Tiren sitting in the middle, looking both expectant and anxious.

"My colleagues," Zhou Tiren said slowly, "To be honest, I have just received military information. Huang Taiji sent troops south to conquer personally on the fourth day of the first lunar month. The army is three million, and it is unstoppable."

Some of the ministers looked horrified, some looked calm, and so on.

Zhou Tiren's pale and deep eyes took in everyone's expressions, waiting for everyone to digest the bad news.

"The Great Xia Dynasty has reached its most dangerous time." Liu Guoguan, the second assistant, sighed with a bleak expression, "Is it true that the Great Xia Dynasty of two thousand years cannot be saved?"

"We, Shi Shi Xia Lu, can do nothing."

Zhou Tiren's tone sounded like a dragon, "The laws of heaven are cyclical, and there has been no immortal country since ancient times. Even if there is something unbearable to say, it is fate, it is destiny, how can it be beyond the reach of human power?" "Your Majesty is in chaos and is helpless. It is the so-called humiliation of the emperor. If the minister dies, we will have no way to save the country, but we can only die to repay the kindness of the country and the kindness of the king."

Zhou Tiren's white hair was rustling, and his expression was gloomy. "I have something to say, and it's sad. Please listen carefully:"

"Who can make mistakes without being a sage? We are deeply blessed by the country and would rather make big mistakes than lose great integrity!"

"If there is something unbearable to say, it will be the day when the country's gates are lost and the day when loyal ministers die for the country!"

"Although there is great terror between life and death, we, the ministers of the country, famous religious saints, whose majesty is always there, will still be there even after death, so why should we be afraid of death!"

"Even if it doesn't help the situation, you can still serve your father, promote the famous religion, and don't teach the barbarians and Di to despise me. There is no one in Daxia. I can still be regarded as a benevolent gentleman."

Liu Guodian nodded and said, "The First Assistant Prime Minister is very sincere in his words, and he is a great teacher. I feel very close to him!"

Then he shouted sternly: "We are deeply favored by the country, and we can live in peace and prosperity, so we have no fear of death! Don't be the second in Cai Ji! Otherwise, if the national law does not punish you, I will punish you too!"

Another cabinet minister, Cao Jiaofang, also said calmly:

"Well said! Only when the sea changes, can we show our true colors!"

"Today is a national crisis. A test of gold and fire can reveal loyalty and traitors! I only have three inches of righteousness in my heart, even though thousands of people are leaving me!"

"When the troops come to the city and face the danger, you should know that those who fight fiercely on the battlefield and wrap their bodies in horse leather are by no means the only beautiful generals!"

The old ministers' speeches were righteous, eloquent, and decisive, which made people awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring to obey their orders.

The entire lobby was filled with a tragic feeling.

However, a discordant voice finally said:

"Several old ministers and colleagues, from what I can see below, the overthrow of the Great Xia Kingdom is not the worst outcome. The worst outcome is... the destruction of the world!"

"We are willing to sacrifice our country and die for our country. Are we not caring about the fall of the world?"

"If this is the case, we will undoubtedly disregard the safety of the world!"

When everyone took a look, it turned out that this person's name was Sun Shen, a third-rank minister of Dali Temple. He was a disciple of Zhou Tiren, the first assistant, and a true member of the Zhou Party.

Zhou Tiren frowned and said in a very dissatisfied tone, "Sun Shen, what do you mean?"

Sun Shen saluted and said: "Sir, since ancient times, all countries have been destroyed, but the great cause of famous education has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has lasted for eternity. This is the tradition of Taoism."

"If the great cause of famous religions and Taoism exists, then the world will survive! Even if the country perishes, the world will not perish!"

"But if the Taoist tradition is lost and the great cause of famous religions declines, even if the country survives, the world will perish!"

Speaking of this, Sun Shen was heartbroken and said in a very sad tone:

"Sir, sir! Which one is more important, the community of one family and one surname, or the tradition passed down through the ages!"

"With all our passion, we can die for the country and die for the Great Xia! However, it is not easy to die for the country, but it is difficult to defend the world!"

"In order to be loyal and righteous, we ignore the world's orthodoxy and the great cause of famous religions. Is it really true that we are loyal and righteous?"

"Such a disregard for the country, one's wealth and one's life are certainly insignificant, but one is abandoning the world and neglecting the great cause of Mingjiao!"

"Students don't understand! Please teach me, sir!"

When Sun Shen said this, he burst into tears and fell to the ground.

Sun Shen's words were so upright and righteous that everyone was moved when they heard them!

"You, you..." Zhou Tiren pointed at his proud disciple, "Sun Shen! You..."

It seems impossible to refute the disciple's heartfelt words.

"Sir!" Sun Shen raised his head, tears streaming down his face, with a sad look on his face, "Who is more important than the country of one family and the world? Please teach me, sir!"

"When the country is destroyed, there is no need to fear death! But there is no use in dying!"

"We, the foundation of the Mingjiao, will die if we die. But who will inherit the great cause of the Mingjiao? Who will be responsible for guarding the world? Will the lights be extinguished and eternity will be like a long night? Wow, woe, that will destroy the world, wuwuwu..."

Sun Shen burst out in mourning, weeping every word, like a cuckoo weeping blood!

He was the minister of Dali Temple, with a high official position. These words were like a wake-up call, and everyone took it seriously, and they all felt the same.

A large group of civil servants said in unison:

"Senior ministers, what Sun Tingwei said is absolutely true! Please teach me how important it is for one family and one surname to rule the world."

"Sun Tingwei is very loyal!"

"Sun Tingwei's words are very close to my heart! How difficult is it to die? What is difficult is Wei Tianxia!"

"You have to do your duty to the country, so what's there to be afraid of? But, are you disregarding the world?"

"That's right! Abandoning a useful body is certainly a sacrifice for charity, but does it mean that you have no regard for the common people in the world?"

"For example, if parents are in the house and their children and grandchildren despise death, are they filial? Are they unfilial?"

"Xiaoyong, Dayong, who is braver?"

Several pavilion elders pointed at the crowd tremblingly, "You, you...oh, why do you have to be like this? Why are you like this?"

"Alas, we are clinging to our old ways and are regarded as a nuisance by the younger generation."

Zhou Tiren and other old ministers seemed unable to answer everyone's aggressive questions. They seemed to be at a loss for words and had no way to refute.

Someone simply shouted loudly: "If you don't argue, you won't understand! Let's argue today, what is more important, the country or the world!"

"Is it okay to die to the country and abandon the world?"

But everyone already knew it.

In fact, everyone already has the answer in mind.

What to do next is already clear.

But after this incident, everyone no longer had the burden, but they had a reason.

How can we protect the world and defend the orthodoxy?

Live!

Everyone was discussing important matters, but they didn’t know what they were discussing. Even Xiuyi Mansion and Sunflower Mansion, they don't care anymore.

Most of the military power in Chang'an and Gyeonggi is in their hands.

Most of the military commanders in other places are their people.

Local state and county officials are even more their people.

Even among the maids in the palace, there are many who belong to them.

What are they afraid of?

"The person who threatens the world is not Huang Taiji." Sun Shen said, "Even if Huang Taiji reigns supreme in the world, can he still disrespect the famous religion? Disrespect the saints? He doesn't dare! He can't!"

"The most worrying one is the Holy Ghost!"

"Once the faith in holy ghosts is established, there will be no room for our great cause of famous religion!"

However, everyone discussed for a long time and could not find a way to deal with the holy ghost.

As for the matter of Huang Taiji going south, it seemed to have been filtered and forgotten by them.

As if he no longer cares whether the world's surname is Qing or Xia!

...

Jinguan City, the Palace of the Prince of Shu.

Luo Ning reunited with Li Dingguo and Su Xian for a few days and prepared to leave.

When Luo Ning left, he saw a girl standing silently under a tree, looking at him quietly.

Luo Ning had long sensed that she was Luo An's daughter, Ming Zhao's sister, the little princess Ming Yan!

If you really want to count, she is also my sister.

After Su Xian captured the Shu Prince's Mansion, he used the Shu Prince's Mansion as his main camp. But Ming Yan, a young princess, was still able to live in the palace.

However, this noble little princess is no longer the owner here, but has become a guest.

Over the years, Ming Yan has been living in seclusion in the Prince of Shu's Mansion, not knowing what she is doing.

Today, Luo Ning was leaving, but she actually came out on her own initiative.

"Brother Luo." Su Chuo looked away, "This little princess looks a bit like you."

Luo Ning nodded.

This little princess does look a bit like him, and of course looks a bit like Luo Li.

Especially a pair of beautiful red and phoenix eyes, both inherited from Luo An.

Ming Yan looks very beautiful, but her expression is gloomy and cold, making it difficult for people to get close to her.

Luo Ning had no intention of meeting Ming Yan. He was about to leave with Su Chuo when he suddenly saw Ming Yan running over with her skirt in hand.

"Brother!" Ming Yan actually called Luo Ning brother, which surprised him.

Luo Ning couldn't help turning his head, "Huh?"

Ming Yan's smile was unnatural, and she obviously rarely smiled.

"I know, you are my brother."

"Brother, I want to say a few words to you, is that okay?" (End of Chapter)
