Chapter 190 Confused
The envoys sent by Yang You to Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism have returned one after another not long ago.
As for the result!
Not bad at all!
None of the four doors explicitly refused to help.
Not only did he not refuse.
And they immediately sent people to help.
However, this did not make Yang You, the regent at the time, happy, but instead made him confused.
Yang You looked sullen and asked doubtfully, "Did I really overestimate the abilities of these four families? Is this all they have?"
At this time, Yang You was still sitting on the dragon throne above the Guande Hall.
There were no civil or military officials under him, only a few confidants and new ministers.
Yu Shiji said with some lack of confidence: "After all, they are just a martial arts sect. They have done their best to provide such support."
An extremely handsome middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes suddenly snorted coldly, "Hmph! Try your best? The Buddhist Saintess Shi Feixuan, the Demonic Demoness Wanwan, these people didn't show up. You call this trying their best, but they are just perfunctorily trying to please us. They sent out a bunch of good-for-nothings."
This person is none other than Dugu Feng, the leader of the Dugu clan, who has a majestic demeanor.
Although he had a smile on his face, he always looked murderous. He was of medium build, but had an aura that showed extraordinary abilities.
And his crisp and powerful behavior shows his strong confidence
At this moment, his sharp eyes formed a sharp contrast with his hooked nose and resolute mouth. Dugu Feng glanced at Yu Shiji and then turned away. How could he not know the true strength of Buddhism and Taoism?
Yu Shiji felt a chill brushing across his face when Dugu Feng glanced at him. This put a lot of pressure on him, but he managed to remain calm.
Yang You also understood what Dugu Feng meant, which made him feel a little depressed.
If the Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian sages were unwilling to help, then the grand blueprint that Yang You had previously envisioned would be stillborn.
Yang You couldn't help but angrily said: "This group of villains are unwilling to provide a helping hand at the critical moment."
Pei Yun suddenly spoke up and said, "I think that they are unwilling to help because the benefits have not been given enough. If the benefits are sufficient, they will definitely come to help."
When these words were spoken, many people were stunned.
Pei Shiji immediately responded, "Master Pei is right! How can you ask someone to do something for you without giving them a benefit?"
Everyone present was stunned at this, because the envoy sent before had brought the imperial edict but no gifts.
Not only did they not bring any gifts, the messenger also went to ask for gifts from the four families.
It’s good that no one openly scolded Yang You.
This actually cannot be blamed on Yang You and others. The main reason is that they have not yet changed their mindset.
Now is no longer the time when the Sui Yang court was at its most powerful. At that time, if you wanted to ask someone for help, you could just issue an imperial edict, and everyone would come to serve you.
After a brief contemplation, Yang You came to his senses. He was not a fool. Although he was very young, his ability was not low at all.
Yang You was the true successor to the empire trained by Yang Guang, so he naturally could not be a fool.
When Yang Guang personally led the expedition to Goguryeo, he handed over his rear base to Yang You, the regent.
Yang You did not have the extraordinary talent to reverse the situation, but he still understood that if you want a horse to run fast, it must be well fed.
So Yang You slowly asked: "Then what do you think I should do to win the support of the four sects of Taoism and Buddhism?"
Pei Yun frowned and said, "The Demon Sect is the easiest to deal with. They are a bunch of profit-seeking people. We can just give them gold and silver and promise them benefits. However, the Buddhist Sect does not care about fame or wealth. The Taoist Sect only seeks freedom. The Confucian Sect only values benevolence and righteousness and does not care about money. It is not a good gift to give them!"
Yu Shiji also shook his head and said, "Yes! If we bring gold and silver to their door, I'm afraid it's not a gift, but an offense to these people of noble character.
suddenly,
Dugu Feng sneered, "Haha! High moral character? Are you crazy?"
Yu Shiji couldn't help feeling unhappy when Dugu Feng suddenly said this, but he didn't show it.
They were actually from the same faction and had a pretty good relationship. It seemed that there was some truth to what Dugu Feng said, so he listened attentively to what Dugu Feng said afterwards.
Dugu Feng said sarcastically: "In fact, the people of these three sects are even greedier than the Demon Sect. They not only want benefits, but also fame. They want to be a whore and then build a memorial archway for themselves."
Dugu Feng is considered to be Yang You's elder, and the Dugu family and the Yang family are in-laws. The bond between the two families is very strong, so Dugu Feng has no scruples when speaking in front of Yang You.
Yang You couldn't help but become curious when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Why do you say that, Lord Dugu?"
Dugu Feng said with contempt, "I am not wrongly accusing them. The Confucian school has noble morals. When they annexed the people's land, they had no benevolence at all. If the Buddhist school believes in the four elements of emptiness, how can the majestic golden statue of the Buddhist temple come? The Taoist school's cultivation of Taoism and alchemy is very expensive. If you really believe in their benevolence and morality, then you lose."
When Yang You heard this, he was shocked. This was a truth he had never heard before.
Because his teachers were Confucianists, how could they possibly tell others about their own shameful deeds?
Those teachers are teaching their students principles that they themselves don't even believe in.
The relationship between teachers and students is one of mutual deception.
The teacher tries to make the student believe his lie, and the student tries to make the teacher think he believes it.
Yang You was very capable in handling government affairs, but he still lacked a good grasp of people's hearts.
Because Yang You's position as crown prince came without difficulty, Yang Guang loved him very much.
Now, hearing Dugu Feng stripping these moral gentlemen of their dignity, Yang You was really surprised.
Yang You sorted out his gaffe and asked in a deep voice, "Then how can we win over these people?"
After a brief thought, Yu Shiji immediately smiled and said, "Since they care about fame and fortune, it's easy to deal with. Just give it to them. Once they are fed, they will naturally do things."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.
Yang You is young and lacks experience.
But the others were all experienced people, so how could they not know the risk that all their efforts might go to waste, but they didn’t say anything.
Because it was the best solution they could come up with.
Without external aid, it would be impossible for the Sui Dynasty to rebuild its country in a short period of time relying on its current capabilities.
So they are all gambling.
If they win the bet, they get all the benefits, but if they lose, the losses are not theirs.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Luoyang, the Eastern Capital,
In the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.
After a period of seclusion and practice, Wang Ming finally eliminated all the hidden dangers in his body.
At the same time, all the true qi was transformed into Beiming true qi.
However, Wang Ming did not end his retreat.
Wang Ming's cultivation level is only at the Grandmaster level at this time. Wang Ming wants to break through to the Grandmaster level before going out.
Simultaneously,
Another very important thing is your own martial arts.
Wang Ming was innocent when he first traveled through time, so in the early stage, Wang Ming was like a swarm of locusts passing through a border. All the martial arts were obtained by Wang Ming.
However, as he collected more and more martial arts, Wang Ming became a little confused.
I don’t know how this will develop.
There are two paths before Wang Ming:
1. Change martial arts.
Just like [Hunyuan Gong] is replaced by [Zixia Shengong], and [Zixia Shengong] is replaced by [Xiantian Gong].
Every martial art has its limits, and when you reach the limit, switching to a more advanced martial art is the best way to improve your cultivation.
This method is not advisable for other people, but for Wang Ming who can travel through the heavens and all worlds, it is not a problem.
2. Create your own martial arts.
When martial arts reach their limit, one can create his own martial arts. This can be good or bad.
The advantage is that this is a path that I have walked on my own, and I am more familiar with the techniques.
The downside is that it is too time-consuming and laborious.
It's like going somewhere. One way is to take someone else's road, and the other is to build your own road.
Wang Ming has experienced so many worlds that he can actually create martial arts such as [Hunyuan Gong] easily. If he concentrates all his energy, he can create martial arts of the level of [Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing].
Wang Ming has been thinking about this matter during this period.
In fact, Wang Ming doesn’t need to change his martial arts now, and he can continue to practice. At least now he doesn’t need to change it, and he doesn’t need to think about creating new martial arts.
Wang Ming discovered that the Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts were extraordinary. These martial arts were so profound that he could continue to practice them.
Because if you compare "Tianlong World" and "Double Dragon World", it is obvious that "Tianlong World" is a level lower.
But his martial arts secrets are not weaker than the martial arts system of the "Tang Dynasty World", especially the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect.
The reason why its expressiveness is weaker than that of the "Tang Dynasty World" is because of the world's spiritual energy.
The "Dragon World" is actually gradually developing towards the Dharma Ending Age.
Wang Ming was very sure about this.
The three worlds of Smiling Proud Wanderer, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils are actually different parallel universes and different timelines.
Wang Ming remembered that the last world of that system should be "Lu Ding". At that time, even the internal energy could not leave the body.
Many of the martial arts in "Tianlong World" are obviously unusual.
It's obviously not the martial arts of that era.
For example: Dali Duan family's [Six Meridians Divine Sword], Xiaoyao sect's [Eternal Youth Skill].
These martial arts are obviously peerless martial arts passed down from a more glorious era.
However, with the changes in the environment of heaven and earth, many martial arts can no longer be practiced.
As for the martial arts of this world,
Wang Ming was a little hesitant.
Correct!
I am just hesitant, hesitating whether or not to practice.
The martial arts in this world are very strange.
These martial arts are extremely difficult to practice, and most of them involve the risk of death.
and,
These martial arts all have extremely strange abilities.
This ability is to change a person's nature, and it is as evil as the [Sunflower Manual].
It’s just not as obvious as the [Sunflower Manual].
After the two protagonists, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, practiced the [Eternal Life Secret] by accident, their personalities were greatly affected.
As Xu Ziling's martial arts became more and more advanced, he became less and less like a normal person.
Xu Ziling was becoming more and more extraordinary, developing closer and closer into the direction of a Buddhist monk or Taoist priest.
At first, Xu Ziling was lustful and wanted to visit brothels.
But there is no need to say much about Xu Ziling's situation afterwards.
Kou Zhong's character is becoming more and more cold-blooded, and he is increasingly wanting to get closer to the king.
Wang Ming even suspected that if Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong had not both practiced the [Eternal Life Secret] and absorbed the [He Shi Bi] and [Evil Emperor's Relics] together, and had not had an inexplicable attraction to each other, he would have definitely killed Xu Ziling, the stumbling block on his road to becoming the king, without hesitation.
Then there is Shi Zhixuan, who was also made miserable by the ruthless morality of the Butian Dao and the affectionate morality of the Huajian Sect.
So Wang Ming was hesitating whether to practice the martial arts of this world.
This is also the reason why Wang Ming wanted to create his own martial arts.
As the world becomes more and more advanced, martial arts become more and more advanced.
There are more and more inexplicable things contained in martial arts.
The spiritual thoughts and intentions of the creators of these martial arts are becoming increasingly important.
This made Wang Ming feel a little uneasy.
Correct!
Just uneasy.
In the low-level world, the spiritual thoughts contained therein are very indifferent and don’t matter.
Those who made great achievements are now dead and turned into ashes.
Nothing terrible.
However, as for the martial arts in the advanced world, it is possible that the people who created them are still alive.
Wang Ming had an illusion.
The martial arts system of this "World of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is very strange.
It doesn't look like a warrior practicing martial arts.
On the contrary, there is a kind of martial arts secret book that is used to cultivate people.
These martial arts make the personality of its practitioners more and more like the original creators of these martial arts.
There is an illusion of gradually losing myself.
For example: Xu Ziling's personality later on is completely different from his personality in Yangzhou. If he had the same personality as in Yangzhou, Shi Feixuan would have had a spiritual love affair with him.
That's absolutely nonsense. Xu Ziling, a gangster from Yangzhou, is definitely only interested in Shi Feixuan's body.
Come and go through cultivation.
What’s the point if you lose yourself?
Shi Feixuan left the most serious impression on Wang Ming. She practiced the [Cihang Sword Canon] and was closest to Dini.
Wang Ming is now in the imperial study in the palace. Every day, apart from meditating and practicing his luck, he is reading secret books.
There are also many secret books in the palace, which makes Wang Ming more and more clear about the martial arts system of the people in this world.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The world outside is not peaceful either.
It's not just not peaceful, it's extremely turbulent.
Li Shimin, Li Mi and Yu Wenzhi were conquering everywhere.
I want to unify the world as soon as possible and be the one who laughs last.
But they all have a tacit understanding.
The tacit understanding was to bypass Luoyang where Wang Ming was.
No one touched the Luoyang area.
In fact, they were all somewhat afraid of Wang Ming.
If it weren't for the guarantee from the forces behind them that they would be responsible for stopping Yang Guang if he jumped out, their courage to fight for world domination might have been a little shaky.
In their minds, Yang Guang can really lead an army by himself.
If the grandmaster's single-target destructive power was not enough to threaten Yang Guang's life, they would have no choice but to surrender.
My update volume has not decreased, I just updated one chapter.
I don’t want Datang to write hundreds of chapters, so I am compressing the number of chapters.
