I'm the one running the game

After Lu Xingshi and the Taoist priest in green robe and ox horns had a conversation, he also knew the other party's background.

The other party was the Taoist priest of Longshan, who was a disciple of the Immortal Venerable Qing Yao in the Heavenly Court, and a one-horned rhinoceros who had become an immortal. He was also a disciple of the Immortal Venerable Qing Yao.

The one-horned rhinoceros was not the mount of the Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, but a formal disciple.

The immortals in the Heavenly Court and the Underworld do not value their origins and qualifications when recruiting disciples, but mostly use their moral character as an assessment.

To be in the immortal class, merit is indispensable.

Therefore, the Taoist priest of Longshan belongs to the third generation of immortals, so he is so rich.

Of course, he is not a waste, but has real materials. If he does not meet the requirements of his master, the one-horned rhinoceros, he will not be able to get whatever he wants.

"Fellow Taoist of Longshan, do you know what happened in the capital?" Lu Xingshi asked.

He happened to meet such a great cultivator, and he must grab him to death.

In fact, Longshan Taoist wanted to leave. The news of his son's death had been confirmed, and he had no complete body, so he had to go back to take care of the funeral.

Previously, it was not only for revenge, but also to retrieve the body. Since he had no complete body, it would be better to build a tomb.

As a result, Lu Xingshi chatted with him non-stop, and he was embarrassed to refuse.

"I haven't been to the capital, but you should not go to the capital during this period. It won't be too late to go after the new emperor ascends the throne."

"I have heard that the nine sons' fight for the throne has reached the point of real swords and guns, and even affected many fellow Taoists."

"If you are not careful, you will die at the least, and your sect will be implicated at the worst." Longshan Taoist gave Lu Xingshi a suggestion.

"What about merits? How much merits can you get from it?" Lu Xingshi didn't care about the danger. Most Taoists have masters and uncles above them, and disciples and grandchildren below them.

Unlike Lu Xingshi, who is alone and has no weaknesses, if the other party really dares to take advantage of him, don't blame him for being ruthless.

He only cares about how much merit he can get.

When Longshan Taoist heard Lu Xingshi's words, he was also a little unbelievable.

"Daoyou, you are obsessed with appearance. Merit is secondary. If you are obsessed with merit, it will be very difficult to achieve perfection in your life." Longshan Taoist also had some guesses about Lu Xingshi's eagerness for merit.

Either Lu Xingshi wants his spiritual roots to transform into heaven and earth spiritual roots, or his spiritual roots are heaven and earth spiritual roots, and he wants to use merit to water heaven and earth spiritual roots to produce Taoist fruits.

Otherwise, most cultivators' attitude towards merit is to take things as they come, rather than deliberately pursue it.

Although merit can indeed gain supernatural powers, which makes people very envious, it is not necessarily possible to gain supernatural powers once after hundreds of merits. It still depends on one's own cultivation and fate.

That is, not only must you be strong, but you must also be a European emperor, otherwise you can't get it at all.

"I see that fellow Taoist, it's only the 10th day of the lunar calendar, why are you so anxious? You should calm down and think, that's the right way." Longshan Taoist advised.

He wants to learn from others' strengths and make up for his weaknesses, and he wants merits. He is eager and greedy. If he is not stopped, he will definitely go astray one day.

Lu Xingshi didn't care about his thoughts at all.

He was very sure of himself. After all, he had cultivated such a big account as the Great Red De Emperor. Although the new account was very different from the previous world, for him, the experience was still very useful.

It's nothing more than a little luck first, and then the strength to fly bricks.

"The lesson is that I was indeed a little anxious." Lu Xingshi did not deny that he was anxious, mainly because it was different from his previous experience.

In the martial arts world, he would have been invincible at this time, and he would be invincible in the present world.

However, now, he actually has opponents in the human world. There must be a lot of great cultivators like Longshan Taoist who are hard to find. There must be at least two digits in the human world.

This is equivalent to Lu Xingshi being unable to defeat not only the immortals and gods, but also dozens of enemies that he cannot defeat.

The immortals and gods can be temporarily ignored, as the early cave ancestors are isolated and cannot come down, but this kind of great cultivators cannot be treated, as they are all in the human world with him.

Even if this group of great cultivators cannot even withstand the Jade Emperor's phantom of the Great Red De Emperor, it is also borrowing power.

It is indeed his own power that is borrowed, but there is an additional meaningless expenditure, which is a big loss.

Moreover, the Jade Emperor's phantom alone consumed 100 million gold coins. If the Divine Weapon World, the Mountain and River State Map, etc. are added, the consumption is estimated to be more than a hundred times.

All the costs are counted in transportation.

"The fight in the capital is now in a mess, with all kinds of people. Not only are there evil ways and demons and monsters causing trouble, but there are also many powerful officials and profiteers who intend to take advantage of the situation."

"If ordinary people get involved, what will happen? You can imagine what will happen to them."

"But I have heard something before, that is, the frequent appearance of evil spirits may be related to the crown prince." Longshan Taoist said directly.

"Wait, with the crown prince, why would there be a fight for the throne? Can't you just ascend the throne directly?" Lu Xingshi found the blind spot.

"If that's the case, it would be fine, but the death of the previous emperor was strange, and it was suspected that the crown prince killed the emperor and killed his father. In addition, there were people behind the scenes fanning the flames, and he has not succeeded in ascending the throne until today." Longshan Taoist said.

Lu Xingshi also understood why, it was nothing more than the crown prince's power was not enough to suppress the court, while the other eight princes were powerful and could even suppress the crown prince.

As the crown prince, not only can he not ascend the throne, but there are rumors that he is the culprit of the regicide and patricide, or even the evildoer who brought disaster to the country. It is simply absurd and bizarre.

"Then in your opinion, among the current crown prince and the other eight princes, who can hope to ascend the throne of the emperor?" Lu Xingshi asked indirectly.

The Taoist of Longshan was very cautious and had no intention of getting involved at all, so he said directly: "I haven't been to the capital in recent days, and I don't know anything."

Even if he had an idea, he couldn't say it out.

They could only choose to be neutral. Once involved, there was no such thing as getting out of it unscathed, only success or failure.

The Taoist tradition has the ancestors of the heaven and the underworld, and it will not be cut off. However, if the Taoist who got involved failed, he would definitely die.

As long as you don't be greedy, there will be no disaster.

"I'm a little tired today. I'll treat you well when you come to Longshan tomorrow."

"I'll take my leave first and go back to prepare a tomb for my child." The Taoist of Longshan heard that the topic that Lu Xingshi talked to him about was getting more and more wrong, so he said he was ready to run away.

If they continued to talk, who knew if he would be involved.

He still had a family, and he would definitely not choose to step into this big pit. This pit was not an ordinary pit, but a big fire pit.

The Taoist of Longshan said so, and Lu Xingshi couldn't continue to fleece him and let him leave.

You can't just keep him here, that's too presumptuous.

However, judging from the attitude of the Taoist of Longshan, there are indeed many merits in the capital, but it's not a good thing to get involved, and it's easy to die suddenly, so most of the Taoists avoid it.

As for the evil ways and demons and ghosts in the capital, who can be blamed? They are the ones who have committed evil. The Taoists are kind, but they are not the ones who are taken advantage of.

You messed up the situation, and then let them take over? You even said it was for the sake of the people.

How could the ascetics spoil you? Moral kidnapping cannot bind them.

You knew the consequences and deliberately caused the disaster. The price was paid by the people, and the benefits were obtained by you alone. The ascetics had to deal with the aftermath. If it were not for the stability of the dynasty, these people would have been beaten to death long ago.

Lu Xingshi had to curse, and the Five Turbidities and Evil Worlds deserved to fall on you.

From the disgust in the words of the Taoist of Longshan, it can be known that the struggle for hegemony in the imperial city may be the cause of the rapid decay of Dazhao. Even if it was caused by the Five Turbidities and Evil Worlds, we cannot blame everything on the Five Turbidities and Evil Worlds. People are greedy.

There was already a crown prince, and his ambition coveted the disaster, but this crown prince was not a good person. He was stuck before he ascended the throne, which means that he himself had problems.

If there is no problem, no matter how the remaining people criticize, they can't shake it a bit.

It can only be said that each has its own flaws, and what they lack is not exactly the same.

"Sure enough, if you want to get information, you have to find such a big shot to get it." Lu Xingshi muttered, Qingxia Tianshi and Jinxuan Tianshi are more like village cadres, what can they know.

Longshan Taoist is not a working Tianshi, but he has a high status, just like a retired old cadre. Even if he is not in the court, he can still have various information channels and obtain information far beyond ordinary people.

Yunze Longjun should also be at this level, but compared with Longshan Taoist's semi-seclusion, the other party should know more, and may even take the initiative to involve in this battle for hegemony in the imperial city.

Of course, it is also possible that it is not Yunze Longjun, but his dragon son and grandson.

But no matter which one it is, it is actually the same.

Dragon sons and grandsons enter the game and can also drag him into the water.

"Evil ways are growing, demons and ghosts are causing trouble. It's worthy of being the capital. The way of life is different from that in the countryside." When Lu Xingshi thought of this, he was happy.

Under normal circumstances, how could there be so many troubles under the emperor's feet? When encountering special events such as fighting for the throne, the order will be more strict. How can it be more chaotic? It can't be that they invite wolves into the house just to seek help.

At first, Lu Xingshi didn't understand why.

Then he thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was not impossible. That was the capital. Although it looked prosperous on the surface, it was secretly built with countless corpses. It was like a magical city. People's hearts were incredibly chaotic. It was estimated that collusion with the enemy and selling out the country was common.

Evil ways and demons and ghosts can probably become chess pieces and knives in the hands of the powerful in the capital to fight for power and profit. Loyalty doesn't matter. It's enough to be able to do the things that are entrusted and take the blame.

When Lu Xingshi came to the world of immortals, the cultivators he came into contact with were all the type who accumulated merits and practiced Taoism. They made sense, acted uprightly, and were kind and persistent.

But it does not mean that all the people in the world have this kind of character. Instead, the people he comes into contact with are a minority, not the majority.
