There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 461 Northwest Court
Go to Ningcheng.

In the back garden of the monarch's residence, Wang Lian, who had already turned white, was watching the goldfish he raised in the pavilion next to the fish pond. Next to him, two little boys in brocade robes were playing with each other holding short wooden swords.

Time passed unknowingly, and in the cloudless sky in the northwest, the setting sun illuminated the back garden. Wang Lian suddenly felt very sleepy, so he sat down on the lounge chair next to him. Soon there was a slight snoring sound, nearby. The palace maid immediately brought the blanket that had been prepared and covered him.

The two little boys who had been playing so enthusiastically just looked at each other, put down their shurikens, and ran to the fish pond to play with the water. The palace maid next to them turned pale with fright. Just as she was about to go up and pick up the two boys, I heard a burst of footsteps coming from the entrance of the garden.

It was the honor guard of the Crown Prince. The female officer at the door glanced at Wang Lian who had just fallen asleep next to the fish pond, and sang out bravely: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

The prince did not come alone. He was accompanied by Zhang Xinghuai, who was wearing a purple robe.

The two boys who were about to play in the water next to the fish pond were startled when they heard the sound of singing and drinking, and fell into the arms of the palace maid. The palace lady immediately took them away from the fish pond, and Wang Lian also woke up from his light sleep.

The prince came in and saw the two naughty boys at a glance. He glared at the two boys fiercely, and then walked with Zhang Xinghuai to the pavilion next to the fish pond in the fearful eyes of the two boys.

"Father."

"Your Majesty!"

The female officer immediately went down to work.

Just when Zhang Xinghuai was about to respond, Wang Lian continued: "Xinghuai, what you told me at the beginning, I will tell you the same thing now. Everyone has their own mission. They do different things in different times. The thing is, it is the wish of all people that we eliminate divine magic now, but this may not be the case in the next era. "

"I've been very sleepy recently, and many things have been delayed. I'm also getting older without knowing it." Wang Lian looked at Zhang Xinghuai, "You are still so young. To be honest, I have been regretting this period of time. I didn’t practice well when I was young.”

He watched Zhang Xinghuai make the promise.

Zhang Xinghuai sounded confident.

The prince and Zhang Xinghuai clasped their fists and saluted at the same time.

Zhang Xinghuai said: "We have obtained some life-extending elixirs from the Shangdan Sect, so you don't have to worry!"

Wang Lian leaned on the recliner and said with the old man's warm smile: "I have completed my mission. If I don't leave early, it will not only be an eyesore, but also disgusting. When I leave, I will leave a last word. My future successor will not be allowed to stay in the palace." I have been in this position for more than twenty years. This is what I agreed with you in advance.”

But now magic has become a nightmare for the people of Zhongzhou!

The crow's feet at the corners of Wang Lian's eyes were wrinkled together. He obviously had something to say, but some things couldn't be explained clearly in a sentence or two, and some people couldn't be persuaded in a sentence or two.

Wang Lian waved his hand gently, "Sit down wherever you want." He asked the two of them to sit down, and then told the female officer next to him: "Didn't there be spring tea from the south a few days ago? Give them two a cup."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

What he said was to tell Zhang Xinghuai that no matter how wise a person is, his thoughts are always limited. People in every era have different ideas. For example, when the Xia royal family established the Xia Dynasty, the people of the world supported it. , at that time divine magic was the end of conflicts in the world.

The world is in turmoil, and even if the true king descends to earth, he may not be able to sort it out clearly. Just like the thoughts of all the people, Zhang Xinghuai is loved by the people now, but what about a few decades from now? What about a hundred years from now? What about hundreds of years from now?
But this cannot be said, nor can it be explained clearly. Only time can verify it.

"Are you here for the affairs of the True Yang Sect?"

Wang Lian changed the topic. The prince glanced at Zhang Xinghuai next to him, and when he saw that he didn't answer, he said, "Yes, father, we have ordered a mountain search!"

Wang Lian nodded, "Remember, you must do this within the rules."

"Don't worry, father, General Kunpeng will do this himself, and the eminent monks from the Snowy Region will cooperate with us, and we are not targeting the Zhenyang Sect."

Wang Lian looked at the female official who came in with the tea. After the female official put down the tea and stepped away, he said: "That is the dispute between the various factions. We can ignore it, but when getting along with the people of Datong, each faction must abide by the laws of Datong. If it violates , no matter who it is, we will pursue it to the end.”

Zhang Xinghuai then said: "This is all we can do at the moment. If a monk in the third realm violates the law, we still can't pursue it. Therefore, the next step is to strengthen the Taiwei Mansion and cultivate our own monks in the great realm."

He said this as if he was going to war with the Xuanmen sect.

"Take your time. Don't conflict with them head-on now, and don't stop them from preaching. We people also need to believe in something, otherwise we will not even know the ethics and integrity."

"I know the severity."

The Crown Prince interjected: "We have analyzed that the Zhenyang Sect will not conflict with us this time. What they want is the orthodoxy of Changtongshan. It is not in their interests to conflict with us, and our laws are not strict."

Wang Lian looked at Zhang Xinghuai and asked, "Who is in charge of the Zhenyang Sect Taoist Temple on Changtong Mountain?"

Zhang Xinghuai replied: "Leshan Taoist, a disciple of Lord Rongyang!"

When Daozang Hall still existed, Rongyang Prefecture Lord was the actual person in charge of Daozang Palace in the northwest region. However, Rongyang Prefecture Lord did not leave a legacy in the northwest. His dojo was somewhere in Xizhou. This made Liuyun of the Catacomb Gate The Taoist took advantage of the loophole, which was the starting point of the conflict between the two factions.

Most of the turmoil in the northwest region for hundreds of years was controlled by these two disciples. However, in the past few decades, the situation in Zhongzhou has been changing. The two princes have hidden in the dark, and their disciples have either closed the mountain gate or moved out of Zhongzhou. , and some are cooperating with the Datong court. As for those who are not cooperating, they have disappeared in the chaos of the past few decades.

Various thoughts emerged in Wang Lian's mind one by one. He looked at Zhang Xinghuai and said, "How is the Dongjin incident?"

Zhang Xinghuai replied: "I estimate that in a few days, Chu's army accumulated on Jianglin Road will definitely cross the Nong River and enter Beiyuan Road. At that time, we will move eastward at the same time."

"it is good!"

Wang Lian looked happy.

After the two discussed this issue for half an hour, Zhang Xinghuai left the back garden.

After Zhang Xinghuai walked away, the prince said: "Father, the prime minister wants to make enemies of all Xuanmen monks in the world. Can't you see? There is no way his plan will succeed!"

Wang Lian said with a smile: "The Prime Minister is not that stupid. The Zhongzhou regime and the Xuanmen monks complement each other and there is no need to hate each other. The Prime Minister just wants to protect the people and the country."

"Maybe now, but what about the future?"

Wang Lian was silent for more than ten breaths and replied: "The Prime Minister wants to establish an institution similar to Daozang Palace and achieve stability in the practice world by controlling Daozang Palace. If things cannot be done in the future and he wants to do it by force, we also have a way. You have to Remember, our success in the northwest depends not on the prime minister, but on your ancestors!"
