I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 607: Seeing that there is no leader, the world is in good fortune
After Mei Juncang finished chanting the spell, Sun Chenglong, who was practicing in the Dragon Court of Da Qi, immediately felt a sense of it. He used his authority to open the passage to the Dragon Court of Da Qi, and then a huge statue of the King of Freedom appeared behind him. The King of Freedom had eight arms holding up the sky, and one of his hands was spread out as if to welcome people. The next moment, a golden door appeared in the Luoshui courtyard. Mei Juncang confirmed that the door was opened by his junior brother and then stepped into it.

The next moment, the space changed, and when Mei Juncang came out, he had already appeared in a majestic blue temple, and in the core position of this temple.

Sun Chenglong sat in front of a Dragon Transformation Pond. The pond was filled with divine power. The red destiny of the Great Qi State was intertwined with the water veins of the Luo River, forming two poles of yin and yang. Sun Chenglong sat at the anode end and Zhuge Dan sat at the cathode end. Using the secret technique of yin and yang and relying on the cause and effect of the 300,000 Qi soldiers bound by Sun Chenglong that day, they re-condensed their earth souls from the vast river of history, and then used the destiny of man and heaven of the Dragon Transformation Pond to re-interweave them into three complete souls.

After the three souls recovered, one by one the Qi soldiers walked out of the Dragon Pool, but this time they were no longer flesh and blood bodies, but bodies of divine soldiers of the Divine Court.

But for the Qi soldiers who have been extinct for hundreds of years, this is already a great opportunity. What's more, with the three souls gathered together, if the most elite soldiers among them practice Zhou Tieyi's Five Immortals Method in the future, they may be able to come back to life one day.

By then, the bloodline of Qi will naturally be able to continue. Seeing this scene, Mei Juncang smiled and sighed to Sun Chenglong, "Junior brother's magical powers are becoming more and more amazing now."

Then he bowed to Zhuge Dan again and said, "Greetings to the Marquis of Shenwu."

Zhuge Dan nodded slightly in return. Mei Juncang came over. He paused his spellcasting, thought for a while, and then asked, "But are there any changes in the Great Xia court?"

Mei Juncang replied, "The Queen Mother changed her monkhood and wanted to ask me to help her in exchange for my path to Taoism. I would like to ask for your opinion, Marquis Shenwu."

Zhuge Dan smiled softly, "You want to ask about your teacher's current condition, right?"

Mei Juncang looked thoughtful as he looked towards the sea of ​​blood and said carefully, "Actually, I have a rough idea of ​​the teacher's condition."

"The teacher traveled to the Blood Sea of ​​his own accord, so he must have made some preparations. The reason why he disappeared must be related to the Buddha, the head of the Blood Sea. This is a contest between the gods and saints. We cannot see the outcome of the battle for now, but I believe the teacher will win in the end."

Mei Juncang said it with certainty.

Zhuge Dan gently waved the feather fan in his hand, "You seem to have great confidence in your teacher."

"What about you, Marquis Shenwu?" Mei Juncang asked back.

Zhuge Dan paused for a moment, then his smile widened. "I am of course the same, but during the time he was away, there were many things that needed to be planned, which is why he passed on the Taoist tradition to you."

Zhuge Dan did not say it explicitly, but it was obvious from his words that he was encouraging Mei Juncang to help the Queen Mother to return to secular life. It was not that he wanted to plot against Mei Juncang, but he needed the Great Xia court to have something to do so that it would not interfere with what he wanted to do.

Zhuge Dan thought for a moment and said, "I also happen to be planning something. How about I introduce you to an 'old friend'?"

Mei Juncang bowed and said, "I'm very happy to do so."

Zhuge Dan delivered a letter, and then a portal to the kingdom of God opened, and Hu Wenlang and Li Jing came out of the portal together, but now Hu Wenlang's face showed mixed feelings.

After seeing the Qi State's magical soldiers walking out of the Hualong Pool one by one, Hu Wenlang was even more hesitant to speak.

Although Zhuge Dan and Hu Wenlang wished each other would die sooner in their previous lives, they also had some friendship between heroes and heroes. Now, times have changed, Qi and Wei have long since disappeared, and the former mortal enemies can now shake hands and make peace. So Zhuge Dan pointed the feather fan in his hand at the Qi army and asked, "What do you think of my Qi army? Can it compare to your army?"

Hu Wenlang looked deflated. The revived Qi soldiers in front of him were inferior to the 300,000 Heluo troops trained by Jiang Taiyi himself, both in quality and quantity.

But there are also advantages to being bad. In the historical loop of the sealed Jiang Taiyi, in order to protect his soldiers, Jiang Taiyi changed their status into a state of coexistence of life and death.

When history began to loop, everyone wanted Jiang Taiyi dead, but they didn't care much about these Heluo soldiers, so Hu Wenlang seized the opportunity and joined forces with Zhuge Dan, Li Jing, and Zhao Fuer to rescue the 300,000 Wei soldiers directly.

Although these 300,000 soldiers were put into Hu Wenlang's dream and entered a state of suspended death, they were resurrected intact as living people. In other words, the food and munitions consumed by this 300,000-strong army were far greater than those of the Qi soldiers who were resurrected in the state of divine soldiers.

And now it happens that there is a famine in the world. Even with the help of Li Jing, the fourth prince of Daxia, to raise food, the Wei soldiers under Hu Wenlang have reached a moment of life and death. If they cannot occupy land and obtain food, then these soldiers who were brought out from the loop of history with great effort will probably starve to death, which will be a real joke for all ages.

It was precisely because of the need for food and fodder that when Zhuge Dan said he wanted to join forces again, Hu Wenlang and Li Jing agreed without much thought.

Li Jing said, "Although the army is powerful, it needs to be used in a place, otherwise its claws will hurt itself if it doesn't hurt others."

He and Hu Wenlang are now allies, and Hu Wenlang kept his promise and handed over the command of 300,000 soldiers to Li Jing, so Li Jing is responsible for supplying food. Now he has reached his limit, but he is in a dilemma.

That is his identity as the Fourth Prince of Daxia. Logically speaking, with an army of 300,000 and the secret support of Hu Wenlang, Zhou Tieyi and Zhuge Dan, it is not impossible for Li Jing to capture cities and sweep across the country.

But precisely because he was the fourth prince of Daxia, there was no reason for him to burn, kill and loot in his own home. This meant that if Li Jing wanted to feed an army of 300,000, he had to expand outward.

"That's true."

Zhuge Dan said calmly. He first told the two of them a piece of news, "The Queen Mother is going to change her status from a monk to a laywoman."

Hu Wenlang and Li Jing were shocked when they heard the news. It was obvious that the Queen's move was beyond many people's expectations. However, after thinking about it for a while, they understood why the Queen did this. Hu Wenlang smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that the Queen's food and grass pressure is even greater than ours."

They were already struggling to support an army of 300,000, but now the Queen had to think about supporting the people of the remaining 40 states of Da Xia, and that under the pressure of so many natural and man-made disasters.

“But this is also a good thing for us.”

Zhuge Dan said with a smile, "The Queen Mother changed from a monk to a laywoman, obviously intending to target the monks' food. This will inevitably lead to a new round of internal strife among the various schools of thought in Daxia. Therefore, the Queen Mother will have no time to take care of the outside world. We can help her."

A water mirror appeared in front of Zhuge Dan. In the water mirror, bloody waves swept across thousands of miles, spreading from the Sea of ​​Blood to the southeastern seas. The blood waves brought not only tsunamis, but also caused blood beasts to spread from the Sea of ​​Blood. These irrational beasts, whose philosophy was to kill, were patrolling in the southeastern seas, making it impossible for the original fishing industry to operate smoothly, causing food to become even more scarce after the disaster.

Of course, Shinto also seized this opportunity. In the past, many waters along the southeast coast were the territories of the Blue Dragon and Thunder God lineages. They were more than capable of protecting themselves, but not strong enough to invade the coastal areas.

But now the war is raging in Daxia, and the central court is stretched to the limit. Taking advantage of this wave of blood attacking the city, the dragon priests and thunder priests have decisively taken action on the southeast coast. Dragons have begun to gather faith among the refugees, thereby further undermining the court's rule among the lower classes.

And this is indeed very effective, because the origin of this great drought was originally the future anchored when the Blue Dragon fell. The dragon clan is naturally good at controlling the clouds and rain. As the bloodline of the Blue Dragon, they can naturally change the weather easily in a small range. This is just like Zhou Tieyi asked the five immortals to regulate the water veins only in those states that are willing to submit.

Now Zhuge Dan is eyeing this piece of fat meat and making a move!

The temporary alliance formed by him, Hu Wenlang, and Li Jing had complex identities, so it was not easy to find a common enemy. At the same time, defeating this enemy also had to satisfy the strategic goals of the three.

After careful planning, Zhuge Dan directed his attack at the Dragon Priest and the Thunder Priest. Because of the matter of the Taisho Dragon Court, he had already offended both clans, so there would be no worse outcome.

If both the Dragon Priest and the Thunder Priest were defeated at the same time, then the rich land on the southeast coast would be able to feed an army of 300,000, which would be in the interests of Hu Wenlang. It would also be in the interests of Li Jing to regain the lost territories controlled by the gods and support the Xia land. As for Zhuge Dan himself, it would be even simpler.

He is now a god, and the soldiers of Da Qi under his command are based in Da Qi Longting. If Da Qi Longting wants to expand, besides using tributaries to control more water veins in the world, it can only go out to sea and control the coastal waters of the world.

Controlling more water veins will conflict with the Queen of Heaven and even Zhou Tieyi. Even Li Jing within the alliance will not agree easily. Instead, it is the best option to seize the territory from the Thunder Priest and the Dragon Priest at this time.

The reason why Zhuge Dan did not take action immediately before was that he was worried that the free Queen Mother would become a variable. After all, the Queen Mother would definitely not want a powerful Marquis of Shenwu and the Da Qi Divine Court. But now through Mei Juncang, Zhuge Dan knew the main actions of the Queen Mother, so he made a prompt decision to deal with the Thunder Priest and the Dragon Priest when the Queen Mother took action against the Buddhists, seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The water mirror in front of Zhuge Dan turned, and stars gathered together to deduce the changes in the world. However, as a mathematician, he did not calculate himself, but the world situation outside of himself. The water mirror first reflected the Western Buddhist land, but this time the reflection was more blurred, and only the blood-red war disaster could be faintly highlighted. In the peaceful golden Buddha light, it was like the Buddha holding a sword, slashing from the western nine provinces to a more western place.

Before he could reflect more scenes, he heard a compassionate Buddhist chant, "Amitabha."

Afterwards, Zhuge Dan, a great man who had completed part of the destruction and ascended to the second level of the divine throne again, used the water mirror reflection method. It was like the surface of a lake where a stone was thrown, and the scene became blurred.

But everyone heard clearly the source of the Buddha's name, the current King of Equality in the Underworld, Mo Jian.

"Is this a matter of Buddhism going to war?"

Mei Juncang understood the picture calculated by Zhuge Dan. This Marquis Shenwu had always been able to predict the future. He deduced that the West was going to go to war, which was almost certain. The Netherworld Equality King Fo Mojian interrupted Zhuge Dan's calculations, which further proved the inevitability of this matter.

Hu Wenlang stared at the water mirror. Although he couldn't see anything because of the Buddha's light inside, it didn't stop him from making his own judgment. "Your teacher is traveling eastward, and the whole world is paying attention to him. The Blood Sea is also the territory of Buddhism. It's normal for Buddhism to know some secrets that we don't know. If I were a Buddhist and knew your teacher's purpose, I would not stop him. Instead, I would do my best to help him, because this way I can determine the time when your teacher will fight against the head of the Blood Sea, seize the opportunity, and complete my plan."

At this time, Zhuge Dan looked at Mei Juncang again, "Do you have the answer to the question you just asked me now?"

Sun Chenglong, who was standing by, had already guessed the answer for his senior brother. He said in a serious tone, "When the group of dragons is leaderless, the world will be blessed."

Hearing this, everyone else present smiled knowingly.

Zhuge Dan nodded and said, "Since you can make this hexagram, it seems that you have already understood some of the core of the [Postnatal Eight Trigrams] that I have taught you in the past two months."

Then he interpreted the hexagram, "The dragons are leaderless, and all the common people in the world want to fight for the position of the dragon leader, so the real dragons and latent dragons from all sides are working together to grab this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Therefore, everything has the possibility of success, so it is auspicious. And your teacher is the biggest dragon leader in the world now. Once he disappears, it will naturally be auspicious for all forces in the world."

Mei Juncang bowed to Zhuge Dan and said, "Thank you for the guidance of Marquis Shenwu."

He is no longer confused now. Since the world is looking forward to it, he naturally has the opportunity to seek the truth and does not need to look back.

In May of the second year of Taihe, there was a severe drought in the world. Tianzun traveled eastward, and the sea of ​​blood surged. The waves spread to the coastal provinces, causing thousands of starving people. Mei Juncang returned to Beijing and, in accordance with the edict of the Empress Dowager, presided over the final editing of the "Daxia Tianxian". In the same month, Mei Juncang wrote to the court, requesting the establishment of a "method for converting monks to secular life" to solve the food shortage of the people in the world.

In all temples across the country, the King of Heaven holds the vajra to demonstrate the Dharma. If the vajra falls to the ground, it is a small temple, and the temple shall not have more than ten acres of land, and the number of monks supported by the temple shall not exceed ten. If the vajra is held horizontally, it is a medium temple, and the temple shall not have more than one hundred acres of land, and the number of monks supported by the temple shall not exceed one hundred. If the vajra is held high, it is a large temple, and the temple shall not have more than one thousand acres of land, and the number of monks supported by the temple shall not exceed one thousand.

From then on, surplus monks in temples across the country were allowed to return to secular life, and surplus land was distributed equally to the people.
