Pawn Crossing the River

Since the reconstruction task of the Northern Continent was destined to be incomplete due to internal resistance, Qi Xuansu simply stopped doing anything and devoted all his energy to abolishing the blood-stopping sacrifice and eradicating the insect-men.

This has to bring up another issue in the Southern Continent, that is, the issue of local separatist forces.

The Central Plains is unified, but outside the scope of the Central Plains, all overseas continents have this problem to a greater or lesser extent. The most serious one is Fenglinzhou, which is almost considered a rebel.

This problem also exists in the Southern Continent. Although the Holy Court swept across the southern continent and beat all the forces to pieces, and later the Xidaomen came in to integrate the remaining forces of all parties and forcibly integrated the Tawanting Empire, but they have been fighting since then and have no time to sort out the place. Fortunately, in big cities such as New Paititi, Cusco, and New Xijing, in some corner places, there are still many local forces that only nominally obey New Paititi.

These places have become breeding grounds for bugs. Although the insect man's mother nest is located in the spirit world and his old nest is located on the sea, there are also many scattered strongholds scattered in these places.

Because of the divine war launched by the Holy Court, the gods of the southern continent changed several times.

First, the native gods of the southern continent were eliminated. The Holy Court had just begun to spread the glory of the Supreme Will. The aborigines had not yet understood the difference between the Supreme Will and the goddess, and what was going on with the Steam Gospel. The Holy Court had already begun to internally They got into a fight over uneven spoils and then left quickly.

The aborigines of the southern continent have not yet come to their senses, and Xidaomen has led the ancient gods of the northern continent to come again, which makes things even more complicated.

The gods of the Northern Continent are relatively easy to understand. After all, they are similar. The sun, moon, corn, wind and rain are all based on real objects.

But what kind of god is Taishang Daozu? What is the relationship between Taishang Daozu and the Supreme Will? No matter how you put it, you can understand the words of the Supreme Will to some extent, but you really can't understand the words of Taishang Daozu. After all, the authentic Central Plains people find it difficult to read the Tao Te Ching, which is mysterious in various senses.

That's all. The ancient gods of the Northern Continent are still fighting among themselves. The main god has changed three times, from Itsumna to Kukulkan, and then to Ixichel. Today he believes in the sun and tomorrow he believes in the moon. The Temple of the Sun was smashed.

Who can remember this?

This caused confusion in belief and gave the bugs an opportunity to take advantage of. The insect-men have established their own faith in these marginalized areas and harvested divine power.

How to distinguish good gods from evil gods depends not only on what the doctrine says, but also on what is done in actual actions.

In fact, it's just like doing business. Some people focus on "cheating". As long as they get the money, they will care about nothing else and just make a profit. This is the evil god. For the evil god, as long as he has obtained divine power, no matter how hard he believes,

The believers are required to live and die, not only to sacrifice their property, but also to sacrifice their lives.

For example, in the Western system, there is a kind of planeswalker who is similar to a fairy. He can travel through space at will, enter and exit caves and small worlds. They make up doctrines at will, harvest faith at will, gain powerful divine power, and then abandon believers as nothing. Shoes, leaving chicken feathers all over the ground.

Although planeswalkers don't look evil and rarely take human lives directly, they are already in the category of evil gods.

After the rise of the Holy Court, it began to severely crack down on the planeswalkers, almost destroying them. It is now difficult to see them.

A righteous god must start well and end well. He must receive money to do things and receive incense from others. He must be responsible to his believers. Not only must he persuade people to do good, but if someone slaughters believers, then a righteous god must stand up to defend his believers, even if he is defeated and killed.

Therefore, people like Itsumna and the Corn God still went to war with the apostles of the Holy Court at a very disadvantageous situation, and eventually fell. Even if Itsumna died in a power struggle, Daomen and Ixichel did not identify him as an evil god, but could only say that he was a righteous god with a different stance.

The same is true for the Sanguizi of Fenglinzhou. After the Taoist sect forced Tianmen to bow its head, it did not declare that the Sanguizi was an evil god. It only made various restrictions and still recognized his status as a righteous god. He was a righteous person with a different stance and opposed the Taoist sect. god.

The same is true for the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Buddhism.

Therefore, no matter how nice it is, those who blindly harvest incense and vows are evil gods, and the religion they establish is a cult.

Although the bugmen do not have the power of the planeswalkers, the concept is the same, which is to obtain divine power. As long as you can get the incense and power, you can do whatever it takes, and the bottom line is that there is no bottom line.

The Juesheng Church must now begin to clean up the beliefs of these insect people, and at the same time cooperate with the West Tiangang Church to surrender or eliminate these local separatist forces.

Lin Bufan, who was originally in charge of Xitiangang Hall, has been censored. There is currently no suitable candidate for Xitiangang Hall, because the head hall and the chief have other matters, so Tantai Ying is simply put in charge temporarily.

In this regard, Xidao Sect is not as rigorous as Dao Sect and is relatively casual. After all, Huangfuji, the master of Jueshengtang, is doing the work of the local master and the master of Tianji Hall, and at the same time, he also takes care of some of the branches of the branch. Positions, direct financial mobilization, it is not a problem for Tantai Ying to concurrently hold the position of Tiangang Hall.

Qi Xuansu also participated with Wutu. According to Ixichel's promise, Wutu was to assist Qi Xuansu in handling the matter.

Regarding the insect-man problem, Qi Xuansu's orders must be followed during this period, while Unuratu is responsible for abolishing the blood-stopping sacrifice.

For Qi Xuansu, it was acceptable. Without Wuniang's help, Wutu filled Wuniang's vacancy.

Qi Xuansu's biggest gain from this trip to the Southern Continent is not any credit. For him, as long as there are no big mistakes, there is no doubt that he will be promoted to the Master. More credits are just icing on the cake. Qi Xuansu's real gain is Wuniang. As long as Wu Niang is promoted to immortal, according to the principle of special promotion, no need to ask, she must be a first-class innocent Taoist priest.

Even if some people try to deny Wuniang's status as a Taoist priest, they will most likely fail. The Grand Master's Lineage, Zhengyiyi, and Quanzhen Taoism will definitely support Wuniang's canonization.

From a righteous point of view, Wuniang has made great contributions to the Taoist sect over the years. To deny her at this time is to chill people's hearts. Moreover, Wu Niang has been in the Taoist history books. According to Xuansheng, she is the senior among the seniors.

From a profit perspective, Wu Niang's rise to power means that she has a strong support and a strong voice on her side.

Taking a step back, even if the Daomen side doesn't recognize it, there is also the Xidaomen side. Back then, Wuniang and Tantaiyun had a close relationship watching the moon together. Let's call them close friends, and there is no external pressure on the Xidaomen side. It is huge and requires the fighting power of an immortal, so Xidaomen must recognize it.

In short, Wu Niang will most likely be canonized as a first-class innocent Taoist priest according to the principle of special promotion, and then Pingzhang Da Zhenren, because the rules of Bai Ban Da Zhen are applicable to Shenzhi Zhenren who have retired to the mountains and forests. Wuniang is neither Shenzhi Zhenren nor Shenzhi Zhenren. Not to the point of retreating to the mountains and forests. Because Wu Niang does not belong to the human race, nor does the hundred-year rule of the human world apply. The real hundred-year period is calculated from the moment she becomes an immortal, which is a long time.

It can be predicted that after Wu Niang becomes the Great Immortal of Pingzhang, she will most likely serve as the Grand Immortal in charge of a certain place, or become the plenipotentiary envoy stationed in the Southern Continent. She happens to have a deep relationship with Xidaomen, and Qi Xuansu, the plenipotentiary envoy, already has her half.

She even succeeded Jiang Daren and became the Grand Master of Zixiao Palace, in charge of teaching the immortals. She was already very familiar with these immortals, and she had lived in Zixiao Palace for who knows how many years. Just like your own home. .??.

In this way, Wu Niang has a place in Jinque. If Wu Niang is asked to take sides, who will she choose?

Definitely choose Qi Xuansu, no doubt.

The two were born and died together and shared the same body. They fought all the way from St. York to Paititi in the Northern Continent. With their relationship here, Wu Niang was naturally close to Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuan Su Ping Bai

With one more immortal-level supporter, he could not only equal Li Changge, but even surpass him.

It is you who have the "Qingyan Pearl" and I have Wuniang.

If some people from Quanzhen Tao hadn't held Qi Xuansu back, and if Quanzhen Tao could fully support Qi Xuansu, then Qi Xuansu would have announced the winner in advance, and just designated him directly, without having to choose.

In fact, just imagine that when Qi Xuansu reaches sixty years old, Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei have almost caught up. Qiniang is still alive and it is time to become an immortal. With the resources of the Taoist sect, Lin Yuanmiao is very likely to regain the cultivation of an immortal. In addition, Wu Niang, who has been in the world for a hundred years, has a high probability of becoming a quasi-one-evil immortal. This private team alone is already terrifyingly powerful.

This does not include those who are not so close but are still on Qi Xuansu's side, such as Zhenren Cihang, Zhang Jucheng, etc.

Why should Li Changge fight with Qi Xuansu?

But the problem now is that Quanzhen Taoism cannot fully support Qi Xuansu. Instead, it falls into internal divisions. The attitude of the Earth Master is ambiguous. Zhou Mengyao is eyeing him. The possibility of Zhou Mengyao turning against Taiping Taoism cannot be ruled out.

Qi Xuansu only received the support of Zhengyi Dao, the Grand Master's lineage and part of the Quanzhen Dao, while Li Changge received the support of Taiping Dao and the entire Daxuan royal family. Although the Daxuan royal family is not qualified to vote in elections, they can play tricks.

It is said that some female Taoist priests are too superstitious about the power of rules, but male Taoist priests are not superstitious about rules. When necessary, they will directly choose to overturn the table.

There is a widely circulated story among the people. It says that an adulterer and an adulterous woman harms others. He has calculated everything accurately and blocked all the ways to go through the normal procedures. However, he has not calculated that the brother of the victim does not follow the normal procedures and directly performs the surgery. kill.

This is essentially the same thing, and rules must be supported by force. If there is strong enough force, is it the person breaking the law, or is the law violating the person?

The law is sacred, but did the law approve the Yellow Turban Uprising on Taiping Road? Has Li Taizong been approved to kill his brother and imprison his father?

There was no approval, but I did it anyway. They are all related to the Li family on Taiping Road.

The so-called sacredness is like the sacredness of the emperor, which can be broken by hitting the emperor with three punches. This is also what the people of Taiping do.

If the internal selection fails, does the Li family have the courage to unite with the Qin family to overturn the table?

Now it seems that it cannot be said that there is no such thing.

Since ancient times, this kind of thing has happened frequently. The smaller one is palace upheaval, which is limited to high-level officials. The larger one is chaos in the world. Both sides gather their strength and fight.

Must be on guard.
