An evolutionary game starting from Suolongjing.

Chapter 613: Emperor You's version has no taboos!
"urgent?"

"It's a bit hasty, but there's nothing we can do about it."

Deep in the bamboo forest, on a slightly crowded small stone table, Lord Taishan took a sip of the tea in the cup slowly. The bitter taste slowly spread through his taste buds, flowing through his throat and bursting with sweetness. At the same time, a coolness that rushed straight to his brain along with the flow of the tea made him take a breath, and then sighed:
"To be honest, it's not just you. When we heard Ziwei come up with such a bold idea, Haotian and I were all shocked!"

"But after careful consideration, this is indeed the most stable option with the highest success rate under the current circumstances!"

"Everyone can imagine that after this void war, Jiuzhou will rely on the land and space gained from expanding its territory in the outer regions to complete the integration of Jiuzhou. However, with our usual steady and cautious style of action, no one could have expected that things would unfold so quickly. Even if they reacted faster, they would have reached the stage of the integration of Jiuzhou. We caught them by surprise, and this is a victory!"

"Since you, the Five Barbarians' invasion of China has been eradicated, the various barbarians have ceased to exist, Tang Yan has ascended, and the various traitors in Kyushu have declined and perished. This is the second victory!"

"And the key to three wins lies in you!"

"I?"

Looking at the expectation in the eyes of the Lord of Mount Tai, Zhang Ke felt a little confused: "I am good at fighting and killing, but whenever I go out, small things always get out of hand, and big things get out of hand. Let me come, are you sure this thing is not destined to fail from the beginning?"

"But it always works out well, doesn't it?"

Emperor Ziwei took over the conversation, smiled and patted Zhang Ke on the shoulder, saying: "Besides, what Jiuzhou needs is your wisdom to stir up trouble in the world. Cough, only a stirrer can cough."

Emperor Ziwei, who tried hard to think but couldn't find any good words to describe Zhang Ke, simply gave up on this superficial effort. After all, Zhang Ke knew him inside and out and he knew his writing style.

So, after a moment of silence, Emperor Ziwei, who had barely regained his rhythm, continued, "That's what I mean. This time, I need you to go out and cause trouble!"

"Don't worry about the consequences, don't be restrained, but if there is injustice, then root it out, if there is something you don't like, then root it out, kill those who show their heads, and don't let those who don't show their heads go away, anyway, there is only one word, slaughter!

Anyone who is not from the Nine Provinces can be slaughtered; anyone who is from the Nine Provinces but has their heart set on the outside world can also be slaughtered at will. We have given you our approval, so you can do it without worry!"

"Besides, let's calculate the time, kid, your qualification issue is almost over, right? Why not just do it all at once? It doesn't matter who comes. The Heaven and Hell will always stand behind you. It's nothing more than a big battle. We have long wanted to fight those scumbags in the wilderness!

And if any of these two things can be accomplished, all our planning will be worthwhile!"

Emperor Ziwei spoke calmly, as if all this was a trivial matter that could be accomplished with just a wave of his hand.

However, Zhang Ke looked at the three emperors' faces, who did not seem to be pretending, and nodded heavily.

He does not know how to calculate, and his vision is limited to the present three acres of land. This is a defect of experience and time, a shortcoming that cannot be improved quickly. But since this group of old gods who are good at calculation think it is feasible, Zhang Ke has no hesitation.

So he raised his eyebrows: "Time, configuration, where to start?"

"You can arrange the time at will. The entire Heaven is at your disposal. Even Haotian will come down to the mortal world to help you if you need him. As for the location, it's up to you. You can pick those that you didn't like before and deal with them first."

"To put it bluntly, you can do whatever you want this time. We only have one request, and that is to make the commotion as big as possible, even if there is smoke everywhere and blood flowing like a sea. Anyone who is entrusted with a great task must first be made to suffer and work hard."

Listening to Xiyue Emperor, a rough man who looked exactly like him, speaking in a flowery manner, Zhang Ke felt goosebumps all over his body and quickly interrupted the other party's chanting:
"Okay, let's start with the old level!"

"what?"

"what!"

"what!!!"

At first, the three emperors didn't react to who the Lao Guan that Zhang Ke mentioned was. But until the Emperor of Xiyue, who had the longest contact with Zhang Ke and knew the dark history best, suddenly realized, the other emperors realized belatedly that the Lao Guan mentioned by the naughty kid was the Saint Emperor Guan!
No, this is an old almanac from many years ago.

Moreover, if you, the unfortunate thing, had not gone too far in the first place, Emperor Guan would have acted impartially. Why would he be so petty?

But when they thought of the rumors circulating in the outside world that Emperor You was a narrow-minded person, the three emperors couldn't help but sigh.

Logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with Guandi, and he was a die-hard Jiuzhou faction member. But Jiuzhou now needed someone to attract hatred and attract the attention of the outside world so as to avoid the main issue and conceal Jiuzhou's big move.

Even if some people still notice something is wrong, most of their attention will definitely be attracted to Zhang Ke.

Don't doubt Diyou's ability to stir up trouble!
In other words, if given a choice between the rise of Jiuzhou and the reappearance of Chiyou and Jiuli, the vast majority of beings would first take action to seal off the latter.

After all, Jiuzhou’s attitude is firm, but as long as they endure a little grievance, bear humiliation, and abide by the rules, they can survive; but if Chi You is resurrected, this thing will really kill all non-human beings!

In particular, the destiny inherited by Emperor You and Dayu is almost identical, and the former has added two great treasures, Time and Nine Provinces, to the original basis of the latter.

Since you are gambling, just indulge yourself to the end!

It all depends on Zhang Ke's annoying ability to attract hatred. With the whole of Jiuzhou backing him up, no matter how chaotic things get, the kids won't suffer any loss on their own turf.

As for those smart people, in groups of three or two, even if they wake up quickly enough, the information network of heaven and underworld that reaches deep into the nine provinces is enough to kill them silently before anything can ferment.

They hit it off right away. For the prosperity of Kyushu and for a bright future, if Emperor Guan is willing to endure a little injustice, then let him endure a little injustice!

Anyway, with Zhang Ke making such a fuss, there will definitely be many family members affected. When the time comes, Haotian will have to apologize one by one!

As for why it is Haotian, not Houtu, not Ziwei, and certainly not Taishan, Gouchen and others.
It can only be said that it was Haotian who caused such a big mess in the Lingxiao Palace, which not only offended the naughty kid, but also offended a large number of emperors headed by the Five Mountains and Six Emperors and Hou Tu. What's wrong with being the father-in-law? It is more legitimate for him to apologize as the father-in-law.

After all, who makes you the father-in-law?
The three people, who had no guilt and even wanted to laugh, decided on the person to take the blame with their eyes, and then all three pairs of eyes looked at Zhang Ke. Taishan said, "It's still early, why don't you eat something?"

"Although my Dongyue Mansion is not as extravagant as Yaochi, we still have some dragon liver and phoenix marrow, rare treasures and exotic herbs in stock. You can always have enough to eat for more than a month."

"I"

Zhang Ke was about to reply when he was interrupted by Xiyue Emperor. He pointed at Zhang Ke's clothes and said in surprise, "Hey, by the way, this coat you're wearing looks familiar. If I remember correctly, Haotian should have the same one."

Emperor Ziwei nodded and said, "Yes, I wore it once at the Peach Banquet when the monkeys were causing trouble in Yaochi. After that, Haotian always felt that he could hear a monkey yelling in the distance, and the big-eared thief kept asking for more money, so he put it aside."

"What are you"

"Nothing, Yao Ji sewed it. I didn't know I was wearing the same clothes as God. Maybe we have some tacit understanding."

"By the way, since the matter is urgent, I will send it out now to avoid wasting time and letting someone with ulterior motives notice something. Well, you guys eat and drink well, and remember to help me if you need anything!" Zhang Ke was shocked and felt cold sweat running down his back in an instant.

Although it was just an illusion, Zhang Ke could not bear to be exposed in front of others. He drank the tea in the cup in a hurry and did not have time to taste the taste of the Dongyue Mansion's tea. Zhang Ke said goodbye and left in a hurry.

The action was so swift that even the gods of Mount Tai had no time to lead the way, and a large hole allowing air to pass through was created in the sky of the divine realm.

In the bamboo forest, Lord Taishan, who had repaired his own divine realm and set up a barrier, smiled so hard that the wrinkles on his face were so thick that they could kill a mosquito.

If Xiyue's words were just a casual remark, then Zhang Ke's explanation, which was inconsistent with the previous one, had already put the final nail in the coffin, and even implicitly explained the inside story to the three of them.

No wonder Haotian in the Lingxiao Palace looked like he wanted to eat someone.

No wonder He, who used to be the best at persuading everyone to be magnanimous, is so anxious today.

It turns out that my house was robbed. It’s not even worth it. Even the clothes I had were not safe. If I don’t take drastic measures, the yellow-haired guy will take advantage of me!

Although it was pretty good before.
For a moment, unbridled and wild laughter came from the depths of the bamboo forest.

At the same time, Zhang Ke, who had hurriedly escaped from Taishan Mansion, wiped off the non-existent sweat and said, "Just have a good chat. Why talk about clothes and stuff? It's really annoying."

I thought that after a great war, it was time to go back to Shangzhou World and enjoy some peace and quiet, and check if there were any new programs during the time I was away from home. Now?

just forget it.

Even with Zhang Ke's super intelligence, it was not difficult for him to find out that the secret of his overnight stay in Yaochi had been made public.

Even the Emperor of Xiyue can see it, so there is no reason why Haotian, as the person involved, would not feel anything. So in the Lingxiao Palace, Lao Deng is so stingy. No wonder the saying goes that those who are favored are fearless. The one in Tushan even hopes that Zhang Ke will do something disrespectful of the law so as to make it known to the world, but when it comes to you, it's like a pig digging for cabbage?

Okay, okay, you're so disgusted, right?

Just wait, when I have some time, I will bring two to visit you every morning and evening, so that you can experience what it means to be in the presence of a father. Ahem, this idea is too much.

Japanese culture harms Kyushu's talents!

The most important thing right now is business!
"Now, I, the great bodhisattvas, respectfully ask the Tathagata,

All Tathagatas have attained the realm of self-attested wisdom.

I, the Yakshas, ​​and these Bodhisattvas,
I sincerely wish to hear it, so I urge you all to listen.

You are a practitioner, the best in speech,
Therefore, I respect you and urge you to ask for the Dharma.

Self-realization of the pure Dharma leads to the final entry into the Buddhahood."

Deep in the Great Leiyin Temple, where colorful clouds gathered in the sky and golden lotuses emerged from the ground, the scent of sandalwood mingled with the prayers of thousands of Buddhist believers, the majestic Tathagata Buddha sat upright, explaining the Lingshan classics over and over again.

In a not-so-long period of time, after absorbing a large amount of incense and faith and consuming half of Lingshan's inventory, his battle-hardened injuries had long stopped worsening and were now slowly healing.

The several incarnations that had been lost before also gathered their bodies together again. Although they were still of no use, they at least filled up the lotus platforms at the front row of the Great Leiyin Temple.

Otherwise, it would be unsightly, but more importantly, whenever he saw those empty lotus pedestals, the anger in the Buddha's heart could not be stopped. The ruined beauty of the sacred mountain made him so angry that he wanted to kill people.
But it is easy to fade the scars on the surface, but it is impossible to make up for the internal losses.

It cannot be said that the Buddha was wrong to consume a large amount of inventory in order to maintain his own combat power, but because of this period of time, the entire Lingshan Mountain fell into a dangerous situation where people had to count the days with their fingers and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were hungry every meal.

Fortunately, Lingshan Mountain closed its doors in time and imposed restrictions on the mortal Buddhist monks, so that even though Lingshan Mountain, as the foundation, has sealed itself, the incense from the mortal world is still endless. It is less prosperous than before, but it is still far ahead of the prosperous Taoism next door!
The gradually returning incense and faith are slowly filling the inventory, and the hard days of the Buddhas are returning to their original state bit by bit at a slow but unsteady pace.

As for why Lingshan can still maintain its popularity despite being suppressed and having lost most of its high-end combat power, we have to ask those Taoist masters!
In fact, in the long mythological history of Jiuzhou, except for a few Taoist sects such as Taiping Dao and Shenxiao Sect, most of the Taoist sects only took care of their own small piece of land at the foot of the mountain. It was okay to help the villagers with their daily lives, but if the distance was too far or the matter was too troublesome, then sorry, the Taoist priest was not here.

Cultivating immortals is more important than preaching. The temptation to strengthen the Taoist tradition and increase incense offerings is not even as strong as morning and evening classes and farming!
Even if the ancestors had not forced Taoism to accept disciples and feed them food, Taoism would have really turned itself into an endangered species.

After all, the main purpose of my Taoist sect is to believe in it if you want to, and get out if you don’t. Don’t disturb me in my cultivation!

After the Tang and Song dynasties, when legal principles were gradually restored and communication between heaven and earth gradually returned to normal, this kind of situation became more and more serious.

In the past you said that there was no hope of becoming an immortal if the connection between heaven and earth was cut off. In order to avoid wasting this little legacy of the ancestors in your hands, you had no choice but to find a few heirs to carry on the Taoist tradition. But now that heaven and earth are reviving and the gates of heaven and hell are open, you are still using that lame excuse to hinder me from cultivating immortality. Are you bullying me because my sword is not sharp enough?
What's more, compared to the Lingshan school's wide-open gates and the Buddhist and Taoist schools' rules and regulations for selecting younger disciples, they are undoubtedly much more complicated.

Qualifications are only the most basic entry threshold, and then there are various tests of character and morality. Even if you pass three levels and overcome five difficulties, you may not be able to get the treatment of a personal disciple. It is not uncommon in Taoism to just put your name on the list and then wait and see.

This is how he treats his own disciples, not to mention the pilgrims and believers. Instead of relying on your offerings and being controlled by the conditions, it would be better for him to open a few acres of land behind the temple and be self-sufficient.

As for the question about the ancestors, why do you still need incense and worship when you have become an immortal? Don’t you think that the incense and worship you burn for me every morning and evening is not enough for me to eat? Don’t learn from those bald donkeys next door. If you have nothing to do, you should grow some food for yourself. Don’t think about this and that every day and delay your disciples’ cultivation!!!

Of course, if there are any secrets or shortcuts to becoming an immortal, you should never keep them to yourself and talk more about them with your disciples.

What, double standards?

Try not to be hypocritical with your elders. Are you going to learn from those bald guys next door and beg for alms all day long?

Isn’t it shameful?
Have some shame!
With such a natural and casual attitude, the Taoist sect naturally has no idea of ​​spreading its Taoist tradition in a high-profile manner. In addition, the Heavenly Court is recently busy preparing for a big event. Unless they are the kind of wild practitioners who just casually recognize a ancestor, the Taoist priests in various worlds across the Nine Provinces have received the inside information early and started to prepare for their ascension to heaven!

Of course, I don’t know whether the Taoists are busy or not, but every ancestor must be very busy. They have to do their duties as immortals, and they also have to take into account the Taoist tradition that will not be exterminated by these unfilial descendants. They even have the urge to kill people.

And precisely because of Taoism's "isolation from the world", even though the Lingshan system was suppressed in the mythology, and most of the orthodox Taoist sects in the mortal world closed their doors and stopped preaching, it was unable to slow down the Lingshan belief that was already rampant among mortals.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse!

As for Lingshan's closure and Taoism's advanced stage of laziness, doesn't that become an opportunity for other sects to take off?
I can only say that I have thought too much. Not to mention that the unorthodox methods themselves are fundamentally incomplete, and their sinister style leads to five disadvantages and three shortcomings caused by internal and external factors. The term "unorthodox methods" alone is enough to keep most of the good people out.

If one practices the evil ways too much, his character will inevitably become extreme, and the slightest mistake will lead to disaster. It is inevitable that he will attract the attention of the imperial court and be liquidated. Once the dynasty cannot solve the problem, it will be the turn of the imperial decree to invite fellow Taoists from all over the world to slay demons and eliminate evil!
No matter how isolated the Taoists are from the world, they will not refuse a good deed that comes to them!

In this way, when the Taoist sect was in decline and the unorthodox sects were hated by everyone and had to live in the gutter, the mortals who had to find something to rely on naturally turned their attention to the sacred mountain that had not been very effective recently!
It is worth mentioning that although Lingshan was closed, the only ones affected in the mortal world were the so-called famous and upright sects. The small temples in the mountains, the laymen who practiced Buddhism, etc., were not subject to much restriction.
