Chapter 202: The Robbery of Chang'an and the Tang Emperor's Dilemma
The capital of Xinnan Road, the Jiedushi Mansion in Xinnancheng.
This Jiedushi Mansion was originally the imperial palace of Xinguo, one of the eight sects and fourteen kingdoms of Nanheng.
As the Eight Sects and Fourteen Kingdoms of Nanheng became a thing of the past, Nanheng also became the New South Road of the Tang Dynasty.
The most majestic and huge capital of the New Kingdom became the capital of the New South Road of the Tang Dynasty, and the Imperial Palace of the New Kingdom also became the Jiedushi Palace.
After removing those arrogant and illegal things, the Xinnan Jiedushi Mansion is still spectacular, highlighting the majesty and solemnity of the Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty.
In the Jiedushi Mansion, the current Xinnan Jiedushi Su Xing'an was standing respectfully on a Dharma boat.
This Dharma boat is the Dharma boat that he went to Xinnan Province after receiving the emperor's order.
But it is not so much his Dharma, as it is that Dharma.
This 10,000-foot Dharma boat is extremely majestic, thousands of feet high, with carved beams, painted buildings, and countless pavilions and pavilions.
And if you look at it from above, you will find that the arrangement of these buildings is very consistent with the Five Elements of Bagua, but no matter which side you look at, you can't find any abnormalities.
Inside the Dharma boat, there is a Taoist platform that corresponds to the buildings on the deck. It is divided into eight trigrams and five lines of writing. There are candles burning around it, square flags hanging, mirrors standing in all directions, and five cards.
Wearing simple linen clothes and a bamboo crown, the old man is thin and short. He looks like an ordinary old man.
But his ears and eyes are sharp, and his eyes seem to contain big stars, which are so bright that people dare not look into them.
He has a serious face and although his clothes are simple, he has a majestic demeanor.
One of the six officials of the Dao Palace of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Xuancheng, the elder of the Datang Pavilion and the local official.
The real person who transforms the gods is currently standing on the Taoist platform, looking to the south.
The Pearl of the South is constantly swaying, the square flag above moves automatically without wind, and a cloud of chaos appears in the mirror.
Wei Xuancheng made secrets with one hand and activated the trump card of Fangqi with the other, trying to forcibly manifest it, but the chaos in the mirror only had a hint of golden and purple color, and it was still impossible to distinguish clearly.
“Hey, the inspiration is too chaotic and difficult to distinguish.”
Sighing, Wei Xuancheng couldn't help but think of the time when he rushed to the holy capital of Chang'an to meet the Emperor of Tang before this trip.
That was Wei Xuancheng's first meeting with Emperor Tang after a hundred years.
At that time, the Emperor of Tang Dynasty was no longer as wise and powerful as before.
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty were all outstanding figures in the world.
Not only is he ambitious, but he also has skills and strategies, otherwise he would not be able to stand out among the princes and sit on the throne of the Tang Dynasty, which symbolizes supremeness.
The same is true for the contemporary Tang emperor Li Jianzhang.
Wei Xuancheng remembered how high-spirited Li Jianzhang was when he first ascended to Dabao.
At that time, everyone believed that the Tang Dynasty would continue to be peaceful and prosperous under the control of the new emperor.
Li Jianzhang did exactly that.
But when time came to nine thousand nine hundred years later, the Tang Emperor gradually changed.
First, he executed the Prince of Qingjiang County inexplicably, followed by the Prince of Huaiping County and the Prince of Zhaoyuan County.
Eight censors of the current dynasty were executed by him, and the subordinate officials of Chang'an and Luoyang were changed twice by him.
Then they were suspicious of the prince and suspicious of the ministers. They recruited beauties and built new palaces. They also ordered the Tang army to launch iron hooves and directly wage war on all sides.
Open four battlefields at once. Which emperor of the Tang Dynasty dared to do this?
However, the majesty of the Tang Emperor cannot be provoked, and no one dares to oppose this supreme being.
The forces supporting the various princes also fanned the flames, trying to take advantage of the Supreme Being's lunacy to get rid of other competitors.
The various forces in the court are fighting openly and covertly, and the wealthy families are secretly plotting against each other, not to mention the thieves inside and outside the Tang Dynasty who are always ready to take action.
Wei Xuancheng didn’t understand why Li Jianzhang changed so much.
Until the Tang Emperor issued an edict, he ordered the six officials of Dao Palace to visit Tianyan.
At this time, Wei Xuancheng discovered that the once wise, mighty and majestic Supreme Being of the Tang Dynasty had become extremely thin, as if his body had been hollowed out by wine and sex.
But what could make a real God-incarnation empty out of his body due to mere drinking and sex?
The first sentence Li Jianzhang spoke shocked Wei Xuancheng and the others.
"My dear friends, I have been delirious for a long time. Sometimes I am clear and sometimes I am stupid. Sometimes, I feel like I have become another person."
This person Tang Huang, who was wearing a military uniform and a hat on his head, said this with unnatural fear and fear on his face.
When Li Jianzhang turned around, Wei Xuancheng and the others discovered that the Tang Emperor had thirty-six golden needles stuck in the back of his head.
Obviously, these golden needles are barely keeping Li Jianzhang awake.
Turn around, Li Jianzhang looked into his arms and took out a piece of transparent spiritual jade that was mostly dyed black.
“The Nine Apertures Black Jade can make people’s souls clear and clear, and protect them from the evil spirit of heavenly demons. But in my case, it can’t last more than half an hour.”
After saying that, Li Jianzhang smiled bitterly. Said: "I understand that I have been entangled in the aura of calamity."
"I am not afraid of death. I am only afraid that the foundation that the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty have worked hard for will be destroyed in my hands!"
>
"It's hard for me to stay awake. Occasionally when I wake up, I look at the sins I have done, and I wish I could sleep forever!"
As he said this, a frightening light suddenly burst out from the eyes of Emperor Tang: " All of you, my dear friends, are very skilled in the calculation of heaven’s secrets. There are few people in the world who can compare with your dear sirs.” Find a glimmer of hope in the midst of calamity!”
“It’s not my plan, I just ask you to find a way out for the hundreds of millions of people in the twenty-eight kingdoms of the Tang Dynasty, and not let the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty do so. This foundation that I have worked so hard to build has been destroyed in one day." After saying this, the most noble man in the Tang Dynasty bent down and bowed deeply.
Just a moment later, Li Jianzhang straightened up, with a strange look on his face. The piece of Nine Apertures Mysterious Jade on his chest was completely black.
"Hey, you and the other six officials of the Taoist Palace have not received the imperial edict, why did you come to Chang'an?"
Looking at Li Jianzhang who really seemed to have changed, Wei Xuancheng and others were extremely bitter. , had to plead guilty and leave.
Before leaving, I heard Li Jianzhang shouting: "Hermit, Hermit, where is the beauty I wanted before, why haven't you sent her yet?"
Recalling the haggard Li Jianzhang, he could barely hold on. After asking for help when he was awake, Wei Xuancheng cheered up again and began to divine.
He was born in the Tang Dynasty and grew up in the Tang Dynasty. He saw with his own eyes that the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty achieved great achievements, and the world was peaceful and the government was harmonious and harmonious.
Now that disaster has come, will this prosperous dynasty collapse?
He was the first to refuse!
"Mr. Ge, Jiedushi has been waiting outside for a long time."
Tao Tong's reminder made Wei Xuancheng wake up from his memories.
"Ah, let him come in."
With the sound of footsteps, Su Xing'an walked in.
Looking at the short and thin old man in front of him, Su Xing'an bowed solemnly: "Mr. Ge, is there any gain?"
Su Xing'an naturally knew that the emperor had been fascinated by the calamity. of.
In other words, the emperor's situation that changed so much before and after could not be hidden from these wealthy families of the Tang Dynasty.
After the six officials from the Taoist Palace rushed to Chang'an, they returned to Zhongdu and personally opened an altar on the Temple of Heaven in the Luoyang Taoist Palace to deduce the secrets of heaven.
Subsequently, it was discovered that Datang’s spiritual ideas were so chaotic that even if the Heavenly Master came forward, it would be difficult to decipher them clearly.
For this reason, the Taoist Palace was originally scheduled to have Tianguan and Diguan in charge of Chang'an and Luoyang respectively, while the four officials in spring, summer, autumn and winter would go to the east, west, south, and west of the Tang Dynasty, and then open altars at the same time to deduce ideas. But at this time, news came from the Qintian Prison, stating that this method was unworkable and the time had not come yet.
At this time, it coincided with the defeat of Xinnan. Wei Xuancheng took the initiative to ask for orders to come to Xinnan, intending to calculate the secrets of Xinnan first.
At the same time, it is also to see where the problems in Xinnan lie.
After arriving in Xinnan, Wei Xuancheng immediately discovered that the sky above Xinnan Road was full of calamity. It was obvious that this road was already in disaster.
As the governor of Xinnan Road, Su Xing'an naturally couldn't ignore this. He had to use stupid methods to clean up the internal robbers and thieves before considering external problems.
At the same time, Su Xing'an also knew that Wei Xuancheng was burdened with a heavy responsibility. If this great monk who was second only to the Tianguan of the Dao Palace and the Supervisor of the Qin Tianjian could not deduce the secrets of heaven, then it would mean that the Tang Dynasty was really in danger. .
Wei Xuancheng sighed: "The ideas are chaotic, hard to distinguish, hard to distinguish."
Su Xing'an frowned: "The catastrophe is about to start, but the catastrophe has already subsided. Is it possible that our New South Road can only respond to the catastrophe this time?"
Wei Xuancheng shook his head: "Don't be discouraged. Should we respond to the catastrophe?" It’s not certain yet.”
“Although I can’t tell the secret, one thing is certain, there is a hidden dragon in the south!”
A hidden dragon!
The so-called heaven sends murderous intentions, moving stars change places, the earth sends murderous intentions, dragons and snakes rise from the ground.
This once-in-10,000-year calamity coincides with the murderous intention of the earth.
Su Xingan knows very well what it means when a dragon and a snake rise from the ground.
Speaking of which, during the last 10,000-year calamity, Taizu of the Tang Dynasty was also a Qianlong.
Is it possible that the Tang Dynasty is really going to perish?
What choice should the Su family make?
Wei Xuancheng knew the thoughts of wealthy people like Su Xing'an. He snorted coldly: "A hidden dragon may not turn into a real dragon." Rise up, soar into the clouds and mist, and transform into real dragons."
"And many hidden dragons, in the end, are nothing more than dragons, the forerunners of the king."
Hearing this, Su Xing'an repeatedly said yes.
Those who are kings and pioneers will die without illness.
Just like in the last ten thousand years of calamity, many heroes have risen together, and there are countless outstanding people, but the one who laughs last in the entire Eastern Continent is Taizu Taizu of the Tang Dynasty.
Nowadays, Su Xing'an is still the governor of the New South Road of the Tang Dynasty, so he must do his duty well.
So Su Xing'an asked again: "Mr. Ge, now that Xinnan Road is experiencing internal and external troubles, does Mr. Ge have any good advice to teach me?"
Wei Xuancheng nodded and looked at Su Xing'an with a serious expression. Said: "I just deduced the secret of heaven. Although I can't confirm where the hidden dragon is, and I can't deduce the direction of the calamity, I still found something strange."
"Strange?" Su Xing'an was very confused.
"Do you know why Xinnan Dao's inspiration is so chaotic and unpredictable?" Wei Xuancheng asked.
Su Xingan shook his head.
"Your eldest sister has been practicing in the Taoist palace since she was a child. She should have told you about the reasons for her unpredictability."
Hearing Wei Xuancheng's words, Su Xing'an immediately said: "That's right. There are three types of unpredictability, one is calamity, one is merit, and the other is luck. "
"One of the three is unpredictability. "
Wei Xuancheng nodded: "I used the method of interaction between heaven and man to observe the celestial phenomena and detect spiritual clues. I found that in the south, there is a person living in the aura of gold and purple."
The aura of gold and purple, gold is virtue and purple is luck. .
“He is not a hidden dragon, but a man of good fortune. If we can find his trace and ask him to come out of the mountain, the danger of the New South Road can be solved, and the danger of the Tang Dynasty can also be solved.”
< br>Luck, merit?
Will such people appear in the south?
Su Xing'an instinctively didn't want to believe it, but since these words came from the mouth of Wei Xuancheng, an official of the Tang Dynasty Palace, the credibility of these words was 90%.
The remaining 10% is still Wei Xuancheng's self-effacement.
"Go down and think about it carefully. Whether it is for the Tang Dynasty, for yourself, or for the Su family, if you can find that extraordinary person, then everything can be easily solved."
< br>"If you can't find it, it means you have no destiny."
Hearing Wei Xuancheng expelling the guests, Su Xing'an bowed again and left.
After getting out of the dharma boat, Su Xing'an's brows were still furrowed. He was in a position of luck and merit. Can such a strange person really find it?
At the same time, in Fangzhou City, Yuan Chen held Tian Xingzi down in a hurry.
Sensing the two people's frivolous energy, Gao Liqun and Ouyang Chun rushed over: "What happened?"
Yuan Chen said helplessly: "I'm out of town for work. , I never thought that Taoist priest Tian Xingzi would follow. "
"As a result, the two of us encountered Jie Xiu, and Taoist priest Tian Xingzi was injured by Jie Xiu."
Tian Xingzi glanced at Gao Liqun and Ouyang Chun quite embarrassedly, then snorted and forced himself to leave.
Gao Liqun and Ouyang Chun were extremely surprised when they heard this: Something happened to Tian Xingzi now? !
For a period of time afterwards, Tian Xingzi remained in seclusion, saying that he was recuperating from his injuries.
Gao Liqun and Ouyang Chun were overjoyed to have no more constraints, and specially arranged a banquet for Yuan Chen to go away from bad luck.
The three of them drank Ling Zhen and had a great time.
Gao Liqun and Ouyang Chun were even more elated, with gloating almost written on their faces.
In Fangzhou Taoist Temple, "Tian Xingzi" was communicating with Li Yan holding a jade talisman.
"How's it going? Has the news spread?"
"The news has spread. I'm on my way to Fangzhou. You and Yuan Chen think of a way to get me in. "
"This is easy to do. In a few days, I will select people of suitable age to enter the Taoist temple. You can hide your face and sneak in."
"Okay."
After the exchange, "Tian Xingzi" received the jade talisman, looked at the Taoist temple, and said with a satisfied smile: "Now, I am more than ten thousand people in Fangzhou City. "
"Hey, Tian Xingzi, I really want to thank you."
In Tian Xingzi's sea of consciousness, Huang Yu was smiling at the person who had his limbs locked and his five senses sealed. Tianxingzi.
At this time, Tian Xingzi’s soul was covered with black threads, and these black threads were connected to Huang Yu.
Huang Yu relied on these black threads to control Tian Xingzi's every move, and could even activate his own skills and exert magical powers.
It’s just those things deep in Tian Xingzi’s soul that Huang Yu never touches to avoid being noticed by others.
Just in case, Huang Yu never even tried to destroy the host's consciousness, but retained its vitality and then parasitized it perfectly.
Only when this host is about to be abandoned will its spiritual consciousness be destroyed and its traces exposed.
“This identity should be able to be used for a period of time. When it is no longer needed, maybe we can find out what secrets there are in the depths of Tian Xingzi’s consciousness.”
"I'm really looking forward to it."
Huang Yu said, thinking of Yuan Chen again.
“It would be even more wonderful if there was a chance to parasitize Taoist Yuanchen’s true self.”
