Chapter 205 Reality
The bright moon hangs high,

The sky is dotted with stars, and the night breeze blows gently.

Luoyang is not very quiet tonight.

The source of all this unrest comes from one thing - the He Shi Bi.

The Heshi Bi is something that kings of every dynasty have dreamed of. As long as they can obtain this imperial seal, it will be of great help in their struggle for world domination.

The mysterious color on the imperial seal can bless these mortal kings with the halo of destiny.

The people of this era are ignorant and it is easy for them to believe that they are the destined ones.

Moreover, by possessing the Heshi Bi, one can claim to be orthodox and it will be easier to gain the support of the aristocratic families.

Therefore, the Heshi Bi is something that these anti-king forces must seize.

After the news of the theft of the He Shi Bi leaked, people from all sides gathered at the open space on the cliff behind Jingnian Zen Temple.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The atmosphere on the field was also very subtle at this time.

Shi Feixuan faced Dugu Feng with full confidence, but she was defeated by Dugu Feng.

But the He Shi Bi must be taken back.

This Heshi Bi is of great importance.

The Buddhist sect has been planning for many years, and they want to take their sect to a higher level.

Buddhist followers are spread all over the world, but in fact they are not well regarded in the Central Plains.

Because most of the Buddhist believers are ordinary people in the world.

The scholar-officials and the powerful class often believed in Taoism.

After all, Buddhism is an imported religion.

Therefore, Buddhism arranged a big chess game.

The Heshi Bi had long been obtained by Buddhism, but was not handed over to the imperial court.

Yang Guang was unpopular among the people, but when Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, was in power, Buddhism remained unpopular, which shows what they were thinking.

The Buddhist sect wants to learn from the dragon's merits and successfully enter the upper class.

The He Shi Bi was an important part of their plan.

However, the most important piece of the puzzle, the He's Bi, was stolen tonight by three thieves.

The most troublesome thing is that it has now fallen into the hands of this so-called royal worshiper, causing great distress to all Buddhists.

Shi Feixuan was also in a very complicated mood at this time. She came down from the Emperor's Peak with the ambition to save the world. Although she always said that she didn't care about fame and fortune, she still felt uncomfortable being defeated by Dugu Feng, who was of the same age.

but,

At this moment, she didn't have the mind to think about anything else. What she cared about most was the He Shi Bi.

She had to take back the He Shi Bi at all costs, otherwise the impression of Buddhism would be greatly reduced in Li Shimin's eyes.

However, she had already been defeated and could not attack again.

Shi Feixuan looked behind her.

That's the void!
Liaokong can be said to be the first person in the true sense of Buddhism. Before his silent meditation was broken, he had the cultivation level of a grand master.

Although the four great monks of Buddhism are very famous, no one can defeat them in a one-on-one fight in terms of real fighting power.

Master Liaokong is not young anymore, he is almost ninety years old now.

At the age of ninety, one should be too old to move. However, Liaokong is not a sad-looking old monk, but a very young and handsome man. No matter how you look at him, he cannot be more than forty years old.

He has a slender and elegant figure, and a straight nose, which makes him look very individual. The curved upper lip and slightly upturned lower lip bring out a certain indescribable charm, which looks very good on his slender face, and he looks relaxed and contented. His collar is broad, and his bright face has a kind of transcendental divine light. His demeanor is neither weak nor arrogant, but comfortable and natural.

What makes people unforgettable at first sight is his pair of deep and unfathomable eyes, which can make everyone feel unpredictable and yet dare not underestimate him.

Na Luokong was wearing a yellow inner robe and a brown outer robe of a monk, which made him stand out from the crowd.

Liaokong closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Amitabha! Are you really unwilling to return the Heshi Bi?"

Wang Ming laughed and said, "This Heshi Bi was not yours in the first place, so how can you return it? You are not a direct descendant of Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng."

Hou Xibai could not help but say coldly: "What a farce!"

Wang Ming shook his head and said, "Spuriously reasoned? I like to convince others with virtue the most. Tell me how I am making a spuriously reasoned argument."

Before Hou Xibai and the others could say anything, Wang Ming continued:
"You can't deny that this Heshi Bi is the imperial seal of the Qin Dynasty, right? You can't prove that you are the descendants of Qin Shi Huang, so it's not yours."

"And as far as I know, the royal bloodline of the pre-Qin dynasty was cut off, so the Heshi Bi is ownerless."

"Since it is ownerless, it should be taken over by the government. And I am the royal attendant, so only I am qualified to hold it here."

As soon as these words came out, the people around couldn't help but nod in their hearts. This person was right.

This is the truth, but it is impossible for them to admit it.

At the same time, when these words were spoken, many people who had originally just come to join in the fun began to have some ideas.

Upon hearing this, Shi Feixuan's face darkened and she immediately stood up and said, "Emperor Yang Guang is incompetent and ambitious. He has committed countless murders during his three expeditions to Goguryeo. He is not qualified to receive the Heshi Bi."

Dugu Feng felt his scalp tingling at this moment, and he screamed in his heart: "Shi Feixuan, you are such a tyrant! You scolded him in front of His Majesty. And you scolded him in Luoyang."

Afterwards, Dugu Feng looked at Lekong with sympathy and sighed in his heart: "It seems that Lekong, the honest monk, will be badly deceived by Shi Feixuan, the nun who practices magic. When His Majesty settles the accounts in the future, Jingnian Zen Temple will probably not be able to escape."

Dugu Feng looked at Wang Ming, wanting to observe the emperor's mood at the moment. If she was scolded in person and was in a bad mood, she would stay away.

To Dugu Feng's surprise, Wang Ming did not get angry. In fact, Wang Ming nodded and said, "Yes! You are right. Regardless of the outcome of the war, the people of the world will be hurt in the end. Since you think Yang Guang is not qualified to be the emperor."

Dugu Feng felt that his three views had been refreshed. Isn't this a rebellion against himself?

Not only Dugu Feng, but other people also felt that this so-called royal priest was a ruthless person who even dared to scold his own boss when he got angry.

Wang Ming said calmly, "We all want peace and prosperity for the people. You also think that all this is caused by Emperor Yang Guang. Then I will ask Yang Guang to abdicate and let other princes ascend the throne. You should also ask those rebel kings to disband their troops and surrender! Just like the one you chose, Li Shimin."

"I can ask the emperor to issue an imperial decree that they will never be held accountable for their crimes. This way, the people of the world can end the war as soon as possible and live a happy life, and everyone will be happy."

Wang Ming naturally knew that these people would not surrender, and he was just talking nonsense. If Li Shimin and his people could really surrender for the sake of the people of the world, Wang Ming would also be willing to abdicate.

I didn't care about the throne.

Li Shimin immediately surrendered to Wang Ming and could even abdicate the throne to him. Li Shimin was still a good emperor.

But Wang Ming knew that it was absolutely impossible for them to surrender.

Shi Feixuan and others couldn't help but fall into deep thought and began to think about Wang Ming's proposal.

At this moment, a woman in the crowd who was watching from a distance, wearing a brown robe, a yellow coat underneath, a wide blue belt around her waist, and a felt hat on her head, suddenly said:

"You asked Yang Guang to abdicate, so he abdicated. Who do you think you are?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone realized that Yang Guang could not abdicate.
Wang Ming asked, "Who are you?"

The woman said: "Shen Luoyan!"

Wang Ming knew information about Li Mi, the beautiful military advisor of Wagangzhai.

Wang Ming nodded and said, "Li Mi's men. After the emperor returned to Luoyang, he no longer cared about the throne and had long planned to abdicate. It has been almost a year now, and he has handed over all government affairs to the crown prince Yang You."

The smart people from these forces couldn't help but look at each other.

Their intelligence was quite good. Naturally, they paid special attention to this former ruler of the world, and they had quite a few spies in Luoyang.

During this year, there was no news of Emperor Yang Guang attending court. Not only did he not attend court, he did not even leave the harem.

If they really don't want the people to suffer from war, they can just change the emperor.

This is not difficult for the four major clans.

For example, if they thought Yang Guang was incompetent, they would unite to force Yang Guang to step down and support Yang You or other princes. King Yang Lin would not care about this matter.

Whether it is these four major families or the four major sects, they are all only considering their own interests.

How can they fish in troubled waters when the world is not in chaos? How will the upper echelons reshuffle?

This is purely a dispute of interests between them, which has affected ordinary people.

In the early stage, there were eighteen rebel kings and seventy-two rebel clans, and later on there were four major clans.

These rebel kings turned the entire Central Plains into chaos.

Wang Bo said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the Sui Dynasty has been completely corrupted and has no meaning to exist."

Wang Ming laughed when he heard this, "Hahahaha! You all are just talking about the common people, saying that you can't bear to see war, but I gave you the method, but you don't want it."

"In the final analysis, you are just making profits for yourselves under the banner of the people of the world."

suddenly,

Liao Kong stood up and said in a deep voice: "Please return the Heshi Bi!"

Wang Mingdao: "If you can't prove that it's yours, how can I return it to you?"

Liaokong closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and chanted the Buddha's name, "Amitabha! If that's the case, I'm sorry."

Liao Kong's temperament suddenly changed, becoming very fierce. He knew he couldn't win the argument, so he decided to take action.

"when!!!!!"

“Dang!!!!!” “Dang!!!!!”

Lekong circulated the pure internal energy of Buddhism and rang the bronze bell beside him.

This was something that Liaokong brought deliberately when he left Jingnian Zen Temple.

Before, Xu Ziling was able to be in Jingnian Zen Temple as if he was in an empty space. That was because of the power of the Heshi Jade, which made it impossible for this group of people to circulate their true energy.

In order to prevent Xu Ziling from continuing to use the special energy on the He Shi Bi, Liao Kong made it impossible for them to attack.

Therefore, the bronze bell brought here can perform Buddhist sound wave power.

The propagation distance of this sound wave is long, and the person who practices it is not within the influence range of the He Shi Bi, so he will not go astray.

"then!"

Wang Ming handed the He Shi Bi in his hand to Dugu Feng. Holding it in his hand would also affect Wang Ming's practice.

In fact, it can be put into the system's storage space, but doing so in public will have a bad impact.

Besides, there are indeed many experts around, so let's give the He Shi Bi to Dugu Feng and let her protect herself!

Those who cannot use internal force and rely on the power of [Nine Swords of Dugu] cannot pose a threat to Dugu Feng.

Wang Ming immediately ran out with his sword in hand.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Kong.

Lekong did not dodge either. He picked up the bronze bell in his hand and started fighting with Wang Ming.

"drink!"

Lekong roared, slapped the bronze bell in his hand and hit Wang Ming.

"Bang!"

Wang Ming swung out with his sword, knocking away the oncoming bronze bell, and was about to continue chasing in the direction where Kong was.

Unexpectedly, after Lekong slapped out the bronze bell, he followed the bronze bell and came in front of Wang Ming, and slapped Wang Ming with a powerful palm.

"boom!"

Wang Ming's sword had just swept away the bronze bell, and he was unable to defend instantly. He could only slap out with his left hand and hit the air.

Both of them were knocked back a few steps.

Wang Ming couldn't help but praise in his heart at this time: "As expected of a man who has fallen from a great master, his cultivation is surprisingly so strong."

Liao Kong was also very surprised at this time, thinking to himself: "He was able to withstand my full-strength palm strike without being defeated. The power of the person in front of me should not be underestimated! But why have I never heard of any rumors about this person? There is no information about him at all."

"kill!"

Wang Ming swung his giant sword towards the sky again.

Liaokong had no weapons and was fighting Wang Ming with only his palms.

He was very confident in his own strength, and he felt that he had reached the point where it didn't matter whether he was armed or not. But once they really started fighting, he wanted to curse.

This person's weapon is not just for show, it's real.

This sword is too big!

When Wang Ming wielded the sword, the area covered by the sword was too large, making it difficult for him to dodge.

When these unarmed people fight against armed people, they naturally will not use their hands to collide with the weapons head-on.

Generally, people avoid the sword tip and hit the sword body, after all, hands are made of flesh.

Wang Ming's sword is very big, so it is easy to hit the sword body, and there is not even a blade.

But Lekong didn't dare to hit the sword, and didn't even want to stick to it.

The power carried by the sword was too strong for him to bear.

At first, he also touched the sword, trying to knock away the huge heavy sword that was hitting him.

But as soon as it touched the sword, a huge force came from it. If he had not stopped in time, his arm would have been shattered.

The people watching the game were also surprised.
They had never seen Wang Ming in action, so naturally they didn't know how powerful Wang Ming was.

Moreover, Wang Ming's martial arts also surprised these people, because most of the martial arts of their martial artists were light and agile, and they rarely saw martial arts as strong and fierce as Wang Ming's.

Shi Feixuan kept her eyes fixed on the duel on the field; this battle was of great significance.

Whether the first investment of Buddhism can be perfect depends on whether it can get back the Heshi Bi.

However, as the battle progressed, Shi Feixuan became somewhat unconfident.

Liaokong is the number one master in Buddhism, but he was actually at a disadvantage, as if he was defeated.

Hou Xibai watched the battle on the field and said worriedly, "Master Liaokong is at a disadvantage without a weapon. He will lose sooner or later if he continues like this."

Wang Ming's cultivation level is similar to that of Le Kong who has dropped in cultivation level, but Wang Ming's combat power at this time is stronger than Le Kong's.

The power of the giant heavy sword + Wang Ming's internal strength + physical strength = Wang Ming's combat power at this time.

What Liao Kong used was simply his Qi cultivation, so his strength could be ignored.

Li Shimin's Tian Ce Mansion masters were also beside Hou Xibai and the others and heard what Hou Xibai said.

Someone stood up and said, "Master, take the weapon."

A sturdy man with a full beard threw a wrought iron rod into the air.

Liaokong was overjoyed and took the iron stick, sweeping it towards Wang Ming.

“Dang! Dang! Dang!!”

But once we fought, we knew that was not the case.

Every strike of Wang Ming's sword was like a speeding carriage hitting him. The impact force was beyond his ability to withstand.

The moves are grand and bold, and unparalleled in ferocity.

At this time, Liaokong's hands that were holding the iron rod began to feel numb and bleeding, and his blood was surging all over his body.

When he saw the sword coming towards him, some fear began to show in his eyes.

terrible!

That sword was simply unreasonably domineering. No matter what moves you used, it would just hit you with one blow.

Even if Liao Kong has all kinds of sophisticated moves, they will all be shattered by this sword.

One sword, two swords, three swords, four swords, five swords.

Ten swords, fifteen swords...

Liaokong was like a small boat in the raging sea, without any ability to act independently, being tossed left and right, up and down by the raging waves.

"boom!"

After being continuously shocked, Liaokong's body was already at the end of its strength.

Wang Ming used his sword to knock him out along with his stick, and they fell into a pile of rocks in the distance.

"Ah! Master Liaokong!" Shi Feixuan and others exclaimed.

Shi Feixuan and others immediately went to the pile of rocks to dig Kong out.

Hou Xibai said quickly: "Didn't the senior say that he likes to win people over with virtue? It's better not to use swords and knives. This is not good."

Even Liaokong was defeated. This guy has the highest martial arts skills among those present. Hou Xibai is not stupid. Using a knife or a sword? Do you think he is an idiot?
So Hou Xibai wanted to use words to calm Wang Ming down first, and talk about other things later.

Wang Ming paused and said, "Yes! I like to win people over with virtue the most."

When these people heard Wang Ming say this, they felt relieved.

When they were thinking about how to persuade Wang Ming to admit defeat, Wang Ming suddenly raised his sword and swept towards them.

"boom!"

Fortunately, Shi Feixuan, Wang Bo and Hou Xibai discovered it in time and worked together to stop it, otherwise, there would be countless casualties in the front row.

Only then did the few people who were attacked realize the horror of the strange man in front of them.

The huge force from the giant sword made them scream in their hearts: "This is not a human."

Shi Feixuan said: "Despicable! Didn't you say that you win people over with virtue?"

Wang Ming smiled and said, "Yes! I win people over with my virtue."

Everyone looked at him and cursed in their hearts: "Shameless old thief."

Dugu Feng wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he endured it.

Because there was a big word "德" engraved on the sword in Wang Ming's hand.

How could they not know what this so-called winning people over with virtue means?

It means to use the big sword called "Virtue" and put it on someone's neck and ask him whether he obeys or not.

This is basically conquering people by force.
