I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 520: Sackcloth and cassock! The devil king, Mara!

There is a prerequisite for everyone to be like a dragon.

That means there is no leader.

This is the complete Qian Gua·Yongjiu.

But now the 'group of dragons' has a leader, and this 'leader' is the noble family that has looked down upon the world for generations, and that is...his Great Yong Ji clan!

Therefore, if Huang Tiandao wants to fulfill his glorious ambition of making everyone like a dragon, he must behead them!

Behead him, Dayong Ji!

We must also kill all the noble families in the world!

But it started from the Xiayuan Festival on October 15th last year, when the Great Sage Master raised the Yellow Sky Banner and vowed to replace the Blue Sky with the Yellow Sky.

The eight states were in chaos, with corpses strewn all over the ground.

What comes into view are the men in ochre-yellow hemp clothes who are marching forward one after another, swearing to never retreat, as well as all the officials of the court, both big and small, including prefects, county magistrates, and even the governor of a state.

But the only thing missing was the real protagonist originally planned for this turmoil - the noble family!
Some of them simply put on ochre hemp clothes and recited the Great Sage Teacher, while others simply built forts and walls. On the surface, they defended the last bit of face of the court, but secretly they were the real behind-the-scenes people who indulged, condoned, and even pushed the situation to evolve to this day!

This is the origin of the word "peace" that Han Shao mentioned at this moment.

Zuo Jin was shocked when he heard this.

Obviously, he did not expect that the prince of Dayong, who was born as a frontier soldier, had such a deep understanding of their Huang Tiandao.

In addition, he was even more shocked by the hidden meaning of the other party's words.

'Is it true what he said?'

"But... isn't he the well-known loyal and virtuous man of Dayong?"

When his thoughts turned to this, Zuo Jin inexplicably felt a touch of ironic black humor.

He wanted to laugh and mock, but the word "peace" in Han Shao's words made it impossible for him to laugh.

Because this is a fact and there is no denying it.

But out of his fanatical belief in the Great Sage Teacher, he still forced himself to refute it.

"It's just the beginning of a great cause! Temporary humiliation and hardship are just a temporary measure!"

"When the day comes, our true power will be fully realized, and we will be able to turn the tables easily!"

"By then, the world will be in a state of chaos and will converge into a torrent of humanity. It will only take a thought to slay the dragon!"

But what he said was met with a mocking smile from Han Shao.

"'Wait for another day' again? Is this the only skill your great and virtuous teacher can teach you?"

Drawing a pie in the sky, this is a new word that Zuo Jin has never heard of.

But if you are not as stupid as a pig, you can probably understand the meaning of it instantly.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Jin became furious.

"Don't insult my great and wise teacher!"

Seeing the other person's eyes spitting fire and his face flushed, Han Shao did not dwell on this issue. He just smiled faintly and then suddenly changed the subject.

"Have you ever heard of a prophecy about Buddhism?"

The turn was too sharp and Zuo Jin could hardly keep up with the pace.

At the moment when a look of daze appeared on his face, he put away the anger on his face, suppressed the temper provoked by the other party, and said in a muffled voice.

"I don't know which prophecy you are talking about."

Taoism, Buddhism, Taoism, Buddhism.

When Buddhism was introduced to the East in the past, the phrase "Buddha is the Tao" took root in China, and from then on it became a "family" and one of the hundreds of families.

However, this has also created an inseparable bond between him and Taoism at its foundation.

Therefore, without involving any Dharma door, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, there is some understanding of each other's scriptures.

It’s just that Buddhism loves to make false statements and there are countless prophecies left over over the years.

How could Zuo Jin possibly respond to Han Shao's nonsensical words?
In fact, Han Shao didn't expect him to pick up the conversation, he just wanted to pass on the topic.

Seeing that his expression eased a little, Han Shao kept smiling and then told him the Buddhist prophecy.

"It is said that the demon king Mara once said to the Buddha: "When your Dharma ends, I will ask my disciples to sneak into your temples, wear your robes, and destroy your Dharma. I will teach them to misinterpret your scriptures and destroy your precepts..."

Zuo Jin was stunned when he heard Han Shao's words.

Because these words are not a prophecy at all, but come from the text of the seventh volume of the Buddhist "Mahaparinirvana Sutra".

I was about to correct him, but then I realized that the person in front of me would never speak without a purpose.

I will not say a lot of nonsense to show off my knowledge for no reason.

He just frowned and thought for a while, still unable to connect this so-called prophecy with what they had just talked about.

Seeing Zuo Jin's puzzled expression, Han Shao chuckled, then picked up the tea offered by the woman beside him and said something.

"The ochre yellow hemp robe you wear today is the Buddha's robe."

"It's easy to put it on a demon, but it's hard to take it off one day."

Zuo Jin, who finally understood what was going on after hearing such a straightforward explanation and analogy, was disdainful at first, then his face turned pale.

"What are you afraid of? It's nothing more than a process of digging out bones and removing flesh!"

Since the day of the uprising, not to mention how many common people and believers who swore to follow them to the death have sacrificed their lives, even their fellow disciples who have died for their cause are countless!
Just like Zuo Jin today!
As long as we can successfully build a great world where everyone is like a dragon under the banner of Huang Tian Dao, it is not worth it even if there is blood and corpses everywhere!
Therefore, Han Shao believed the determination in Zuo Jin's words.

only……

"It's easy to pick bones and flesh, but it's nothing but a heart-wrenching pain."

"But what if it has penetrated deeply into the soul and even resurrected the soul through the corpse, allowing the other party to complete the possession of the body?"

Some diseases, if not treated, can lead to death.

If you don't treat it, you will die faster!

So once that happens, will you treat it or not?

When Han Shao said this, he looked directly at the other person.

It did not dissipate any divine pressure, but it made Zuo Jin, who had a strong character, subconsciously take a few steps back.

It wasn't that Han Shao's gaze was too sharp. On the contrary, the Duke of Yan of Dayong had been extremely gentle since the moment he appeared in front of him.

There is not even the slightest arrogance or aloofness of any human king or prince.

If he had not already known this man's identity, when Zuo Jin first saw him, he would probably only sigh, "What a gentle Confucian scholar," instead of identifying him as a frontier soldier with a reputation as a butcher.

The reason why he looked so terrified that he almost lost his composure was because he suddenly realized that Han Shao's words seemed to have anticipated some unspeakable final outcome of Huang Tiandao's future.

"No...impossible..."

As the beauty beside him served him tea, Han Shao just watched her quietly as she once again fell into inappropriate mumbling.

The saying "to manipulate something in the midst of applause" describes this situation.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

In the scene constructed by magic power at the side, the last member of the noble family of Qingcheng was beheaded by the Zhenliao Sword, and his blood was poured on the stone tablet of the Valuation System that once symbolized the glory of the family.

The black-armored cavalry, still in full formation, raised their arms and shouted "Victory!"
The Huang Tianlishi Zuo Jin suddenly laughed.

He laughed loudly and suddenly pointed at Han Shao.

"You said that I, Huang Tiandao, made peace with them, but how can you be any better?"

"What you did today was just a means to fight for power and achieve your own ambitions! What qualifications do you have to criticize me, Huang Tiandao?"

There is no doubt that the loyal and upright man of Dayong before him is the real demon king Mara in cassock!
However, the Buddha he put on this cassock was not Huang Tiandao, nor the Great Sage Teacher, but Dayong, the foolish emperor Taikang!

Is it funny?
Of course it's funny!

Facing Zuo Jin's arrogant laughter, the graceful and beautiful woman at the side said with murderous eyes.

"presumptuous!"

But Han Shao stopped him.

Holding down the other person's soft fingers that were fiddling with the tea set, Han Shao looked at her with an undiminished smile and said.

"You are right. I am ambitious."

"In fact, what I see is not just this small Youzhou, but the entire Shenzhou Chixian, the entire world."

Han Shao's tone was flat, and he did not explain to the other party that in his eyes, China was not just the two capitals of Dayong and the twenty-eight states.

The demon country in the south, the barbarians in the north, the vast oceans...

There is no end!

This is what "All under heaven belongs to the king" means.

But despite this, Han Shao's honesty in front of him still shocked and surprised Zuo Jin.

The arrogant and wanton laughter gradually died down. Zuo Jin let out a long sigh, looked directly at Han Shao, and suddenly said.

"Your Excellency is the Duke of Yan, and you are the top of the human world with your celestial cultivation that can rival the Ninth Realm Taiyi."

"Why are you wasting so much time and energy on a nobody like me?" Zuo Jin was self-aware.

In terms of cultivation, he is only at the sixth realm.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, they are like gods and demons of the time.

But in the eyes of these true gods and demons, they are nothing more than ants.

In terms of status and position, the thirty-six leaders of various factions were not out of his reach, but they were not something he could obtain just by wanting.

Not to mention going further up.

How could the three generals, led by the Great Sage, set their sights on an ordinary disciple like him?
Things like this are what puzzled Zuo Jin.

In his opinion, Han Shao telling him all this was just a waste of time.

Firstly, as Han Shao said, personally persuading the enemy to surrender is really a disgrace to one's status.

Secondly, he is not afraid of death and it is impossible for him to surrender.

However, in response to the question raised by Zuo Jin, Han Shao did not give a direct answer, but just smiled faintly.

"Just think of it as being alone and bored, and I'm just teasing you."

Although this statement was somewhat humiliating, it seemed to be the only one that could explain Han Shao's motives.

Zuo Jin laughed at himself, then said with a serious expression.

"In that case, Lord Yan, are you satisfied? If you are, please kill me quickly!"

Han Shao heard this, smiled and nodded, then shook his head.

"I've had enough fun killing people today, so I don't want to kill again."

"As for chatting with you... I haven't had enough fun yet."

Zuo Jin was stunned when he heard this. He understood what Han Shao meant.

"Lord Yan means... not to kill me?"

But even though I understood it, my doubts kept piling up.

"Why?"

Han Shaoneng regarded himself as a loyal and good man of Yong Dynasty, and was even recognized by many people in the world.

It is enough to show that this person is extremely good at disguise.

How can I feel at ease if I don't kill myself after hearing all these words spoken openly in front of me today?
In response, Han Shao smiled calmly.

"You have too many questions."

As he spoke, Han Shao seemed to see through his thoughts, and then smiled.

"Don't worry about me."

"Do you think people will believe what a traitor like you say? Will His Majesty believe it?"

If Han Shao lets him go today, he will be able to make a fuss all over the world.

"Duke Yan is disloyal! He harbors rebellious intentions!"

People in the world will only sneer with disdain and make a comment.

'A poor attempt to sow discord!'

Many things in this world are so frustrating.

Before a person's image collapses, even accusations based on the truth will be despised by the world.

Realizing this, Zuo Jin fell completely silent.

After a long while, he exhaled again and said in a muffled voice.

"Then...how is Lord Yan going to deal with me?"

It's impossible to let go.

Although the seeds have been planted, if we let them go back now, they may have miraculous effects in the future.

But there are too many uncertainties, so it’s hard to say what the results will be.

Han Shao still prefers to play it safe.

"Didn't I tell you that I haven't had enough of chatting with you today? Just think of me keeping you here to entertain you whenever you are bored."

"So... Lord Yan is planning to imprison me?"

Such a result was reasonable and did not exceed Zuo Jin's expectations, so he remained calm.

But after saying this, Zuo Jin glanced at Han Shao with a mocking expression and said lightly.

"If Lord Yan intends to obtain some inside information about Huang Tian Dao from me, I advise Lord Yan to give up this idea as soon as possible."

"I am not even afraid of death. Even if Lord Yan has many talented people under his command and many tricks, it will be in vain."

In Zuo Jin's opinion, the only things that can make people surrender in this world are soft and hard.

Hard, severe torture.

The soft things are nothing more than wealth, beauty and power.

The former is nothing compared to the pain he went through to build this golden body and survive nine life-and-death experiences to achieve the secret art of Huang Tianlishi.

As for the latter, Zuo Jin was used to wearing ochre-yellow linen clothes. What use could beauty and power have to him?
As for using secret techniques to search his soul?
He couldn't ask for more.

After all, all of these Huang Tian disciples have secret techniques set up in their souls, and that would only allow him to be freed.

Facing Zuo Jin's confident look, Han Shao couldn't help laughing.

If it is really as the other party expected, then all his preparations today would be a waste of time.

To deal with a woman, you can first get her body and then try to win her heart.

But when dealing with men, you have to do the opposite.

As long as you get his heart, he can be used by you even if his body is thousands of miles away.

Well, women can't.

"You underestimate my tolerance. Why do you care about me?"

Han Shaoyan smiled warmly, as gentle as a spring breeze.

"Don't you have a lot of doubts about me? Then I have to stay by my side and watch over me carefully."

"Watch what I do, watch what I plan to do, and maybe I can answer some of the questions myself, saving me from having to waste my breath."

"Then you and I can discuss the Dao together, and that will satisfy me."

Han Shao said this magnanimously, but Zuo Jin's expression changed.

"Do you want to tarnish my reputation?"

The look on his face seemed to be saying that Han Shao was some kind of filthy thing.

Indeed, as long as Zuo Jin stayed alive and well beside Han Shao, the Duke of Dayong and Yan, no matter whether he betrayed Huang Tiandao and the Great Sage Master or not, in the eyes of his former fellow disciples, this result would have been confirmed.

Han Shao seemed to be so angry that he laughed at his words.

"I said, don't judge my mind by your own."

"You are worried and concerned, I have thought about it for you."

"After today, Huang Tiandaoist Zuo Jin has died a martyr, and you can just change your appearance."

As he spoke, Han Shao showed a hint of amusement, and then said.

"How about you call me Zuo Ci from now on?"

Zuo Jin did not understand the significance of the name "Zuo Ci", but he knew what it meant to be killed by others and become meat for fish.

Falling into the hands of someone like Han Shao, the word "wanting to die" is not an adjective.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked again.

"I wonder what Lord Yan is going to do, or...what he wants me to see?"

Han Shao raised his eyes and smiled.

"I won't shout out slogans like 'everyone can be a dragon'. What I want to do is to give those who want to be 'a dragon' a chance to be one."

"Give those who have no desire to fight for the throne, and only seek peace, a chance to live and work in peace."

"This is what I want you, Zuo Ci, to see."

Those who have a strong character must persist.

I saw it, I understood it, and I recognized it.

The more you hold on to something, the faster it will collapse.

After being reshaped, he looked like Han Shao.

So please complete the Evil Fall as soon as possible!
My lonely left...immortal!
