Tang Dynasty: Starting from Kou Zhong, the heavens rise!

"The king is still as naughty as ever."

“Every time I come to Longhu Mountain, I always make waves.”

"If you come here a few more times, I'm afraid Pindao's old bones won't be able to bear it anymore."

A ethereal voice came from the Celestial Master's Mansion, and the 11th Celestial Master Zhang Tongxuan walked out of the door with his hands behind his back, wearing a star crown and looking even more immortal.

Seeing Zhang Tianshi coming out, Kou Zhong smiled and said, "Old Niubi, you are getting an advantage and still behave like a good boy."

"With this spiritual vein stationed in Longhu Mountain, Longhu Mountain will become the ancestral palace of Taoism in the world, and there will be no more wasted opportunities."

"You old bull nose is only one step away from absorbing spiritual energy and transforming yourself, and you will be able to ascend to the realm of Shattered Void and ascend to the upper realm."

"Let me tell you, both you and the Tianshi Mansion should be grateful to Gu for his kindness."

The old man and the young man started talking by the bank of Luxi River. Their figures reflected in the sunshine and in the stream looked particularly harmonious.

Even Xu Ziling had to admit that Kou Zhong's character was more likable than him. Because he was real and not pretentious, he was able to win the trust of many people.

Just like now, he thought he should treat Zhang Tianshi as a junior, but Kou Zhong didn't. Instead, he talked to his peers, which seemed rude but made Zhang Tianshi extremely useful.

"I have only seen the king twice."

"When I first joined the Grand Master, I already had the combat power of the later Grand Master, as domineering and unparalleled as the blazing sun."

"Today, the king seems to be in perfect harmony. I dare to ask if the king has reached the peak of the Grand Master."

Looking at Kou Zhong, Zhang Tongxuan's turbid old eyes sparkled with light.

Even a half-step Shattering Void powerhouse like him cannot see through the reality of Kou Zhong, unless Kou Zhong is stronger than him.

"You old cow has a really sharp nose."

"I got the Evil Emperor's relics and He's Jade not long ago. I took a risk and almost died on Zhongnan Mountain."

"It's a blessing in disguise. My cultivation has reached the realm of transformation. I'm only one step away from Shattered Void, but I don't want to ascend."

"I want to make the world stronger, not just make one person strong."

Facing Zhang Tongxuan's gaze, Kou Zhong said calmly, his words revealing his contemptuous confidence.

Zhang Tongxuan was shocked by his words and couldn't help but said anxiously: "Your Majesty, could it be..."

"Correct."

With a slight chin, Kou Zhong added: "Your Taoist sect has been passed down from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the present. There should be records of why the void was shattered."

"Actually, the realm of Shattered Void means that one's own strength exceeds the limit of what the world can bear, and one has no choice but to exit this world and enter a higher level world."

"As long as the origin of the world is strengthened and the level of the world is raised, it will naturally be able to accommodate the strong men of Shattered Void."

"To tell you the truth, the spiritual veins just now were obtained from other worlds."

"There is only one way to other worlds. You can strengthen this world by plundering the origins of other worlds."

"I wonder if Zheng Yiyi is willing to accompany Da Chu to complete this great undertaking?"

Boom!

One word is like a thunderbolt from the blue and thunder on a dry land.

The expression on the old face of the No. 11 Heavenly Master of the Tianshi Mansion kept changing, and finally he showed a wry smile: "Yes."

"If the king doesn't have such means, then where can Chu's martial arts, martial arts, and those elixirs and spiritual grains come from?"

Previously, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Chu opened [-] acres of spiritual fields in Longhu Mountain and set up a primary spirit gathering array. How could such movement not cause the Tianshi Mansion to distance itself.

Zhang Tongxuan has not only seen it, but also studied it there for a long time. It seems that such spiritual fields and spiritual valleys have never appeared even in the more ancient Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period. It seems that they are not products of this world. He is puzzled. .

But until now, I got the answer from Kou Zhong, and it turned out that it was not something from this world, but from another world.

The Buddha said that three thousand whirls and billions of gravels are all the world. The Taoist school also said: 36 heavens. It turns out that this is all true, and the world is endless.

"If Pindao's conjecture is correct, there should be a precondition for what the king said about opening a passage to other worlds, right?"

"Old Niubi, you are very smart!"

With a slight smile on his face, Kou Zhong continued: "If you want to plunder other worlds and strengthen this world, the first condition is to become the master of the world."

"The prerequisite for becoming the master of the world is to control 60.00% of the world's land and population."

"The land owned by the Sui Dynasty accounts for about one-thirtieth of the world's land, and its population accounts for 30.00% of the world's population."

"hiss!!!"

Hearing this, Zhang Tongxuan couldn't help but take a breath of air.

The ancients said: The world is vast and endless, but the people of Middle-earth have always believed that they live in the center of the world and own the most land.

But who would have thought that these lands are less than one-thirtieth of the world, so how huge the world must be, and the population is large enough.

He was even more shocked that opening a passage to another world would be such a requirement. This requirement was too difficult.

"A new sect has emerged in the far west. They wield sabers in one hand and hold the Quran in the other to unify every country and region."

"The slogan of this sect is for holy war. What is holy war? It is to eliminate all forces that are unwilling to comply."

"Old Niubi, don't you think the Taoist sect lacks such a spirit?"

"The southwest and even the southern part of the world have been newly enshrined in the Buddhist sect that came from the body poison, but why are the closer-to-the-earth Taoist sects still unable to integrate into it?"

"There are also those cannibalistic cults that are prevalent in Nanyang. Is this something that the Taoist sect can allow to happen?"

"Master Tian, ​​why don't you hold your sword to the west and kill the demons?"

Looking at Zhang Tongxuan, Kou Zhong said with a half-smile.

"Are you planning to tie me into the Chu Kingdom's chariot?"

Zhang Tongxuan looked at Kou Zhong directly with his old, cloudy eyes.

It was so obvious that if he could no longer understand Kou Zhong's thoughts, then his life would have been in vain these past few decades.

"Hahaha!"

"The Heavenly Master is now sixty years old, but the Grand Master can live for 150 years, and you haven't even lived half of his life."

"It's inevitably a bit boring to live alone in Longhu Mountain for a long time. Why not expand the territory for the Middle-earth Taoist Sect and establish a great reputation."

"In the future, future generations will remember that our ancestors were heading west with their swords, slaying demons and demons along the way, and clearing the world. Wouldn't it be wonderful!"

Kou Zhong said with a smile.

The voice fell.

Tianshi Mansion advocate Tongxuan fell into deep thought.

For people like them in the Taoist sect, what they want most is not wealth, let alone worldly power, but reputation.

Zhang Tongxuan has lived for so long, and he is already halfway to the realm of Shattered Void. If he still has concerns in his heart, it is that he wants to surpass Zhang Lu and even Zhang Daoling.

Naturally, it is impossible to reach such a height in Middle-earth step by step. If you really want to expand outside, you may be regarded as the ancestor of the outside world by the Taoist sect. Wouldn't it be a different way?

Seeing that Zhang Tongxuan was a little confused, Kou Zhong continued to place a bargaining chip: "There are spiritual veins in Longhu Mountain, so we can open up no less than three thousand acres of spiritual fields to plant elixirs and spiritual valleys. Gu Ke will order people to set up the spiritual gathering array and provide the spiritual valley seeds." ."

"I think the Heavenly Master should already know that the Linggu is ripe once a month and can weigh no less than three thousand kilograms per acre. It is most suitable for consumption in the Houtian realm."

"Furthermore, medicinal materials such as ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, and Ganoderma lucidum can also be planted in spiritual fields. The years will increase faster and the medicinal power will be stronger. Over time, they can transform into elixirs and be used by masters and great masters."

"These three thousand acres of spiritual land can be owned by Zhengyimen."

One sentence after another, full of tempting words, finally made the Master of Heavenly Master Palace unable to bear it any longer.

"The king has any request, but please tell me!"

Zhang Tongxuan stared at Kou Zhong with burning eyes, his meaning already clear.

As long as the conditions are not excessive, their Tianshi Mansion is willing to accept this matter on their behalf.

"I want to know how many masters and great masters there are in Zhengdao now!"

"Including Pindao, there are only two grand masters and more than twenty grand masters."

heard.

Kou Zhong knew what was going on.

Compared with the step from acquired to innate, the step of breaking through the Grand Master has hindered many people.

If the acquired breakthrough fails and the innate breakthrough fails, there may be people who will not die. However, if the master fails to break through the grand master, he will definitely live for a short time, because the step of transforming Qi into Gang is very critical. If you are not careful, your body will die and your Tao will disappear.

Apparently, the great masters of the Zhengyi sect are Zhang Tongxuan and Zhang Qingyang, the leader of the Tianshi sect.

"Two Grand Masters and ten Grand Masters will follow our army to the southwest and annihilate the Southwest and Tiannan."

"The Taoist sect kills the enemy's master and gives him a red fruit. He kills the enemy's great master and gives him a hundred-year-old ginseng."

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs will make a note for the time being and allocate rewards in a unified manner. In the event of death, the rewards can be received by heirs, relatives, and apprentices."

"If the captured territory has famous mountains and rivers, Zhengyi can give priority to selecting it as a dojo."

Facing Zhang Tongxuan's gaze, Kou Zhong added again.

"It is my duty to kill demons and demons, and it is my duty to do so!"

all of a sudden.

Tianshifu advocated Tongxuan showing his righteousness and awe-inspiring appearance.

"Hahaha!"

"That's such a happy decision."

"The Heavenly Master can take people to Shuzhou by themselves, and someone will arrange for you there."

Seeing this, Kou Zhong also smiled and said.

Afterwards, he said hello to Zhang Tongxuan, and he and Xu Ziling rode dragon horses and dragon horses respectively, and returned to Chang'an.

.........

In the 13th year of Daye, October [-]th, the fourth moment of the hour.

Daxing Palace, Qinzheng Palace.

All the cavalry generals, guard generals, titled generals, and military advisors in the Chu army were all standing in the hall, including Hou Xibai, the military advisor, Xu Xingzhi, the military commander, Shen Luoyan, the military commander, and Xu Ziling, the former military commander. Everyone's face was filled with joy. With a sense of joy.

A few days ago, Chu State successively captured the lands of Yongliang, Qinglong, and Bashu. It should be the time to reward the generals.

"The king is here!"

With a light drink.

Kou Zhong, wearing a royal robe and a royal crown, appeared in the hall with a majestic face, walked up to the throne, and sat down on the dragon throne.

"Join Your Majesty!"

All the generals bowed and saluted and said greetings.

"Be flat!"

The superior, Kou Zhong, glanced at everyone and raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The generals then regained their posture and returned to their respective positions.

At this time, looking down at the crowd, Kou Zhong's lips curved slightly: "Half a year has passed since the founding of the country last year."

"We, the Great Chu, have taken over at least one-half of the world, and you all have contributed a lot."

"Come here, read the edict."

Swish! ! !

All the generals present raised their heads upon hearing the sound, their faces full of desire and expectation.

The attendant of the King of Chu who was standing aside took out a piece of yellow silk, opened it, and read loudly: "The king's edict: The destiny of Chu is in Chu. It depends on the support of the ministers. The generals must use their orders to gain the land today. Therefore, reward the troops and Show the great Chu."

"The Marquis of Jin, the Marquis of Jin who sacrificed wine to the marquis Xibai and recorded affairs and joined the army in vain, was given the title: Xingyang, Xiangyang."

"Yulin General Li Jing, Yulin General Xie Yingdeng, Jinwu General Zhang Xutuo, Navy Admiral Liu Rengui, Longxiang General Guo Xiaoke, Yingyang General Wang Junkuojin Count, titles: Chaisang, Yugan, Haihun, Liling, Yudu , new dry.”

"Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin, Wang Junke, You Junda, Yuchigong, Hou Junji, Shi Danai, Fan Hu, Lian Ming, Tiekui are viscounts..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The generals came out happily to thank him.
