The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 302: Buddha and devil actions, is the Li family the orthodox Han people?
Monk Daoxin looked at Venerable Dixin fiercely, as if he couldn't believe he would say such a thing, and asked in a deep voice, "Brother, how can we explain to our many Buddhist friends that the foreign tribes from the grassland have entered the pass?"

Master Jiaxiang and Master Zhihui's faces were slightly stiff, finding it hard to accept. It was an indisputable fact that the Turkic forces were powerful, but if they were really allowed to enter the pass, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Explain?" Venerable Emperor Xin frowned, "What explanation do you want? Only a grandmaster can fight against a grandmaster. The four of us can't even protect ourselves together, how can we protect Buddhism? The Taoist sects are merging, and the battle between Buddhism and Taoism is right in front of us. Who can stop Su Ming?"

The appearance of Su Ming broke the balance and gave Venerable Di Xin and others a great sense of crisis. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the power of Buddhism was so great that it forced a great Taoist master to shave his head and become a monk.

The struggle of faith is a life-and-death struggle. Heretics are more hateful than pagans. When Buddhism flourished, countless Taoist traditions were destroyed. When Emperor Wu of Wei and Emperor Wu of Zhou destroyed Buddhism, Taoism took action. Countless monks were forced to become monks and return to secular life. The grudges here have long been entangled.

Master Zhihui looked more serious than ever before, and earnestly advised, "The Turks are powerful. If they are brought into the Central Plains, how can our Buddhist sect control the situation? Once they become the host, the world will once again become the situation of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The Li family and even we will be infamous for thousands of years. Brother, think twice!"

Monk Daoxin and Master Jiaxiang looked at each other and shook their heads secretly. They each had their own hidden worries. Venerable Dixin was so stubborn, which was a disaster rather than a blessing for Buddhism.

"this?"

This question is difficult for Venerable Emperor Xin to answer, let alone solve. Martial Venerable Bi Xuan is not just one person, the entire Turkic tribe stands behind him. Even the Sui Dynasty in its heyday could not suppress the Turkic tribe, let alone the Li family.

After thinking for a moment, he let out a long breath, "Okay, let's not talk about the matter of bringing the Turks into the pass for now. Brother Zhihui, what good plan do you have?"

"In my opinion, it would be better to bring Master Yijian Fu Cailin to join the Central Plains. I heard that Xu Ziling and the others once worshipped Fu Jun'er as their godmother and learned her martial arts. The two have some connection. Secondly, Su Ming is also a swordsman..."

"The most important thing is that Goguryeo is small and weak, and it is not enough to affect the overall situation in the Central Plains. Brother, listen to my advice. Don't bring in the Turks unless it is absolutely necessary."

Faced with the earnest persuasion of Master Zhihui, Venerable Dixin had no choice but to back down, "Amitabha, let's do as you say. I hope our Buddhist sect can survive this catastrophe."

The remaining three breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and chanted the Buddha's name, "Amitabha!"

……

Luoyang, Tingfangxuan.

"Ning Daoqi actually died at Su Ming's hands?"

Behind the screen, Zhu Yuyan learned the news. The white porcelain teacup in her hand was crushed to pieces. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and she felt more fortunate in her heart that she had surrendered so early, otherwise her fate would be no different from Ning Daoqi's.

At this moment, she thought that after Ning Daoqi's death, only a few old masters were left in Buddhism, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Not long ago, with the support of the Yinkui faction, Li Mi took decisive action, killed Zhai Rang, and seized the leadership of Wagangzhai in one fell swoop. However, Zhai Rang was the leader of Wagangzhai and had great power. Li Mi was an outsider but he repaid kindness with enmity and usurped the power of the Wagang army, causing the generals of the Wagang army to become alienated and the military strength to suffer a severe blow.

Then, she said to Wanwan beside her, "The Buddhist sect can't take care of us now, it's a great opportunity for my Yinkui sect to expand. I want to send you to Guanzhong, what do you think?"

Unexpectedly, Wanwan shook her head, a trace of thought flashed in her eyes, "Master wants to cooperate with the Yuwen family? The Yuwen family is very powerful. If I go there, it will be difficult for me to gain the dominant position. Besides, there is also a Louguan Dao in Guanzhong, which is not a good place to go."

Zhu Yuyan reached out and gently touched her forehead with a doting smile, "You, you still see too shallowly. The Song clan stands behind Su Ming. Can Louguan Dao dare to support the Yuwen clan? Although Li Mi is close, he has no aristocratic family to support him. It is difficult for a group of rabble to accomplish anything. The previous dynasty destroyed Buddhism, and the Buddhist sect has already joined the Li clan. It is impossible for them to cooperate. This is a great opportunity for my Shengmen to join the game."

"Disciples are taught."

She took another teacup and Wanwan poured her some tea. Zhu Yuyan took a sip with a smile on her face. "Although Su Ming was adamant, he helped us vent our anger. Those nuns were driven out of Mount Zhongnan and moved to Taiyuan in disgrace. I have never seen them suffer such a big loss."

"They are used to seducing others with their beauty, but they say we are witches. Do I need to explain how they got the Cihang Sword Canon? In my opinion, that nun is not a proper nun, otherwise how could she see the Heavenly Demon Strategy of the Saint Sect?"

Wanwan also covered her mouth and chuckled, "Master, they are not proper nuns. Proper nuns would never flirt with other women like them."

"Okay, let's not talk about them anymore. I'll leave the affairs of Guanzhong to you. Don't interfere in the Wagangzhai anymore. Their value is limited. As for the Song clan, we'll talk about it later." At the end, there was already a hint of helplessness in his words.

Obviously, Su Ming's display of grandmaster combat power also put a lot of pressure on her.

……

While the Yinkui Sect was constantly making moves, their old rival Cihang Jingzhai was also not idle. On Mount Zhongnan, Su Ming's words forced Cihang Jingzhai to move far away to Guanzhong and re-establish their mountain gate on Mount Meng near Taiyuan.

When Shi Feixuan heard the news at that time, she felt it was absurd, but when she learned about Su Ming's battle record, she had to remain silent and followed her master to leave Guanzhong.

The apparent explanation given by Cihang Jingzhai was that they had chosen the true emperor for the Central Plains to assist the true dragon, but everyone knew the actual reason.

After settling down in Cihang Jingzhai, Li Yuan led his family to Mount Mengshan to worship Buddha.

Fan Qinghui personally met Li Yuan, while Shi Feixuan took the two brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to visit Mount Mengshan.

"The scenery of Mount Meng is not inferior to Mount Li in Guanzhong, and Taiyuan is also a magnificent city in the world." Shi Feixuan spoke sincerely and gracefully. She stared at the winding mountains ahead without blinking, revealing her delicate chin.

A trace of fascination flashed in the eyes of the brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, and they could not help but look in the direction of her sight. They saw the winding mountain of Mengshan, with evergreen pines and cypresses all over the mountain, magnificent and green, with undulating peaks. From afar, there was a temple standing in the woods, with several bodhi trees standing tall. The bright sunshine sprinkled around the temple, and the sky was high and the clouds were light.

Going further ahead, you can see a huge stone Buddha statue. This Buddha statue is called Xishan Giant Buddha. It was carved in the second year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty. It is 200 feet high and is the largest stone Buddha in the world. (The Leshan Giant Buddha has not yet been carved.)
The Buddha lowered his eyes with a compassionate look, and his slender arms are about to emerge from the cliffs on both sides. It is solemn and magnificent, which makes people breathtaking and makes people clearly feel the powerful influence of Buddhism.

It is said that wonders can ruin a country, but there are reasons why dynasties in history built wonders. This big Buddha alone can show the heritage and majesty of the court. Of course, if it were a statue of the Northern Qi emperor, it would have been pushed aside long ago. The two brothers Li Jiancheng can be considered top among the children of the aristocratic families, but they are still far from what they were in real history. They were deeply attracted to Shi Feixuan when they met her before. The other party's invisible but real fairy-like temperament made them obsessed and involuntarily forget everything.

Before they knew it, the three of them had walked several miles and arrived at the foot of the Xishan Giant Buddha.

Shi Feixuan stroked the stone statue with her white fingers and said softly, "Brother Li, I, the Buddhist sect, am willing to do my best to help the Li family conquer the world and bring peace to the world. I wonder what you think of the Zhou Kingdom in Guanzhong?"

Li Jiancheng's mind moved, and he said first, "It is unwise for Yuwen Huaji to claim the throne. The people of Guanzhong have limited manpower. How can such a small place conquer the world? He is already a dead body in the tomb, and there is no need to worry about him."

Shi Feixuan blinked her beautiful eyes and glanced at Li Shimin.

"Master, Fairy, Yu Wenzhi rashly proclaimed himself emperor. Although he had great momentum, he was trapped in Guanzhong and could not accomplish anything. Luoyang Wang Shichong formed an alliance with Wagangzhai to resist the Guanzhong army, while the previous dynasty was a Hu court. It is impossible for them to succeed by relying on the previous dynasty's influence." Li Shimin talked eloquently with a smile as warm as spring breeze on his face. If he were outside, I wonder how many girls from aristocratic families would be charmed by him.

The two brothers answered one after another, and the winner was obvious. Li Jiancheng showed some hostility in his eyes, and secretly warned Shi Feixuan when she was not paying attention. In fact, she sensed it all. She had practiced the Cihang Sword Canon to a high level, and this little trick could not be hidden from her at all.

What Li Shimin said was not without reason. The Yuwen clan wanted to rebuild the Hu dynasty and absorb the remnants of the Northern Zhou Dynasty for their own use. However, they forgot that Yang Jian usurped the Zhou Dynasty and established a unified dynasty. The power of the Han clan families expanded rapidly, and it was no longer the era of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Although their power seemed to have expanded in a short period of time, they were actually on a dead end. Even the dwindling Dugu clan avoided them and were unwilling to associate with them, let alone those aristocratic families.

……

At the same time, on Mount Zhongnan, Su Ming and Taoist Master Qi Hui were discussing the situation in the world.

"Friend Su, I have heard that the Han scholars in the Southern Dynasties considered themselves the orthodox Chinese people and were extremely hostile to the Han-speaking Hu people in the north, as well as the Han people with Hu blood or Hu habits. If the South is to rule the North, I am afraid that the conflict between the Hu and Han people will arise again."

Su Ming was wearing a grey Taoist robe, his black hair tied up with a wooden hairpin, his temperament was elegant and natural. He knew very well whether it would be more difficult to unify the north with the south or the south with the north.

But in the face of powerful military force, this is not a problem. The Buddhist and Huized clans and aristocratic families are destined to be thrown into the garbage dump of history, and his appearance will certainly accelerate this historical process.

He stood up and walked to the cliff, pouring out the teacup in his hand. "Fellow Daoist Qi Hui, the Yuwen clan is about to become emperor, but they are just the dregs of the old times and cannot stop the trend of the world. Ning Daoqi's death is just the beginning. A hundred years ago, the Han people were massacred by the Hu people and fled south."

"Now that the Han people have returned to the Central Plains, they are promoting etiquette, dressing in the right way, carrying on the past and opening up the future, and reshaping the spirit of Chinese civilization. By then, it will not be necessary to use weapons to solve problems, and bloodline will not be a problem."

As the tea fell, Su Ming's steady and powerful voice also echoed on the top of the mountain.

Taoist Qi Hui heard a strong murderous intent in his tone and sighed in his heart. As early as that day when he saw Ning Daoqi being killed, he knew that Su Ming was not a kind-hearted person.

However, in this case, Louguan Dao will probably have to pay a higher price to achieve its wish.

……

Under the Giant Buddha of Xishan, Shi Feixuan gave Li Jiancheng and his brother a lot of chicken soup and analyzed the general situation of the world.

"Fairy, you are well-versed in history and the present. What you said is thought-provoking and has given me a lot of insights." Li Shimin's face flushed, his eyes full of obsession, and he flattered her excitedly, winning himself a good opportunity to start a conversation. "In your opinion, fairy, when can the current three-way division of the world be ended, so that the people of the world can have a chance of long-term peace and stability?"

The three parts he mentioned refer to the Li clan, the Yuwen clan, and the Song clan. As for Dou Jiande, Li Mi, Li Zitong and the like, he subconsciously ignored them. How could these peasants be worthy of the attention of a noble like him?

Shi Feixuan's beautiful eyes were calm, yet they revealed an indescribable wisdom. "Since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, China has been divided for a long time. The Sui Dynasty fell in the second generation, and it was difficult for the Han people to continue their cause. In my opinion, the opportunity for unification lies with the Li family!"

……

In the hall, Fan Qinghui was sitting opposite Li Yuan, "Master, the Yuwen clan is doing evil things and trying to revive the Hu dynasty. The Li clan is the orthodox Han clan, so we should take it as our responsibility to revive the Han clan. We must not let the Yuwen thief succeed."

Li Yuan was about fifty years old, with a fair face, broad eyebrows and eyes, and a ruddy complexion, but his eyes when he looked at Fan Qinghui revealed a bit of covetousness and greed from time to time.

In the original novel, Li Yuan was seduced by Bai Qing'er of the Yinkui Sect and was almost sucked dry. If Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had not rescued him with the immortal qi, he probably would not have survived the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

My Li family, the orthodox Han people?

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes regained clarity and he pondered the intention of Fan Qinghui's words. There was already a Song clan in the south who prided themselves on being the orthodox Han people. Was she trying to get the Li clan to fight for the right to speak for the Han people?

In fact, Fan Qinghui had no choice but to do this. The four great monks headed by Venerable Di Xin had been competing with Cihang Jingzhai for the right to speak in Buddhism.

After Ning Daoqi's death, Cihang Jingzhai could only be subordinate to others. As a last resort, these "fairies" had to step down from the altar and give advice to the Li family.

"Li Yuan understands what the master means. My Li family and the Yuwen people are sworn enemies. In a few days, I will post a manifesto to call on all heroes in the world to attack them."

At the same time, he thought to himself: They can only publicize that the Li family is the descendant of Li Guang, a famous general in the Han Dynasty, and no longer mention that the Li family has the noble blood of the Hu people, so as to completely cut off ties with the foreign races.

The so-called Hu aristocratic bloodline refers to the fact that their ancestor Li Ling married a Xiongnu princess. Even among the many Hu aristocrats, his bloodline is extremely ancient and orthodox.

Therefore, the Li family has always been famous and wealthy during the great ethnic integration of the Northern Dynasties from the Five Barbarians' Invasion to the present. Among the Barbarians, they are the ancient nobles descended from the Xiongnu, and among the Han people, they are the descendants of famous generals of the Han Dynasty. In this way, they have the best of both worlds and have always been successful.

Now, in order to fight for the right to speak among the Han people and attract help from Han families, the Li clan had to abandon the Hu people in advance. Otherwise, would they have to fight the Yuwen clan with their heads?
