The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 303 The task of finding the He Shi Bi is left to you!
Your Song clan is the orthodox Han Chinese, and my Li clan is also the orthodox Han Chinese. We are all equal now. The people at the bottom cannot tell what is the orthodox Han Chinese, and they don't care about the purity of their bloodline. As long as it can bring them stability, it is enough.

"good!"

Fan Qinghui nodded slightly and continued to encourage him, "I heard that Song Que sent his disciples to massacre martial artists in Shu, and the people were living in misery. Song Que can dominate for a while by relying on his military strength, but he is not a wise leader, and his success will not last long. Only people like you who are kind-hearted and have a broad mind can be wise leaders for the world."

"The descendants of Cihang Jingzhai have traveled the world for generations, taking it as their responsibility to save the people. Only the master of the clan can bring peace to the people. Our Buddhist sect will definitely complete this supreme cause and achieve perfect merit."

Li Yuan showed a flattering smile on his face, and said in a low voice, "With what Master Fanzhai said, I feel relieved. Cihang Jingzhai is a pillar of the righteous path. With the help of Buddhism, why should we worry about not accomplishing our great cause? The Song clan is nothing to be afraid of."

"However, there are many masters of the Yuwen clan in Guanzhong, and my Li clan is short of manpower, so it may be difficult to take them down. In addition, Dou Jiande of Hebei is eyeing them covetously. If the two tigers fight, I am afraid that they will become the scapegoats of others. I wonder if the host has any good plan?"

"Dou Jiande is just a ruffian. He may seem to have many soldiers and generals, but in fact he is just a mob." Fan Qinghui's eyes were full of confidence, and he said, "But what you said does make sense. Let me, Cihang Jingzhai, mediate this matter and make sure they don't take advantage of any loopholes."

"Thank you, Lord Zhai."

……

The next day, Louguan Road.

"Zi Ling, now that you are a Daoist disciple, you should go down the mountain and spread the reputation of our Daoist sect."

Xu Ziling's figure became more and more upright. After entering the realm of Grandmaster, he grew a lot taller, his physical appearance became more mature, and he gradually lost his youthfulness. "Master, of the two sects of Buddhism and Demon, I want to start with the Demon Sect. First, the Demon Sect is notorious and does whatever it wants. Second, the Buddhist Sect is powerful and a single move could affect the whole situation. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism will begin, and I don't want to cause any more trouble. Third, the Demon Sect is divided and hostile to each other, which is much easier to deal with than the Buddhist Sect."

"You can have such an idea. It seems that the people of Louguan Dao have taught you very well. Although you are entangled in worldly things, you can also sharpen your Dao heart. Your current status is different from the past. Your every move attracts attention. Without me by your side, I am afraid that you will be attacked by both open and hidden weapons, and even your life will be in danger. Are you ready?"

Xu Ziling nodded and bowed deeply to Su Ming. "Master, I have no way to repay your kindness. I am willing to promote the reputation of our sect on your behalf. The fledgling will eventually take off. I will not be able to be with you to fulfill my filial duty in the future. Please take care of yourself, Master."

"Okay, after we get down the mountain, I have a task for you to do."

"Master, please give me some instructions."

Su Ming's eyes suddenly became solemn. "The He's Jade is a symbol of the emperor, representing the destiny. The Sui Dynasty unified the north and the south and obtained the He's Jade from the Southern Chen Dynasty. But in fact, what they got was a fake. The real He's Jade fell into the hands of the Buddhist sect. A few years ago, there was also news that it had appeared in Luoyang."

"The task of finding the Heshi Bi is now given to you. Even if you can't get it, you can't let it fall into the hands of the Li family. Do you understand?"

It's OK to land in the Buddhist sect or other forces of the Yuwen clan, but not in the Li clan. Is the master really so afraid of the Li clan? Xu Ziling thought to himself, should I tell him about Yang Gong's treasure house?
Rumor has it that whoever gets one of the Heshi Bi and Yang Gong's treasure can get the world. If the Yang Gong's treasure is obtained by the Song clan, it will be even more powerful. Forget it, I still have to discuss this matter with Zhong Shao.

He thought about it, but ultimately decided not to say it out loud.

"Also, the Yuwen clan is very powerful. Even if you are already a master now, it is best not to deal with Yuwen Huaji rashly. I will never forget what I promised you brothers, but now is not the time to kill him."

Xu Ziling was no longer the impulsive boy he used to be. He knew that Su Ming also had many concerns. Besides, Yu Wenzhi had already proclaimed himself emperor and was in the imperial palace. How could he be easily killed?

"Master, I understand your painstaking efforts."

"That's good, you can go down the mountain." Su Ming walked up to him and patted his shoulder, a relieved smile in his eyes.

For a moment, Xu Ziling thought of what the two brothers had experienced in the past. It was not until they met their master that their fate was rewritten. Along the way, he kept in mind Su Ming's love and teachings for him. All kinds of emotions flowed in his heart, and his eyes suddenly became red.

He took a few steps back, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Su Ming, "Master, I will take my leave. Please take care of yourself."

Not long after, Xu Ziling went down the mountain carrying his luggage and holding a sword.

Su Ming stood on the rocks, watching his figure go away. At this time, the voice of Taoist Qi Hui came out, "I know a little about face reading. You have a unique face, excellent talent, and a strong luck. Few people in the world can match you. This time when you go down the mountain, you will definitely be able to turn danger into safety. Taoist friend, don't worry."

Unexpectedly, Su Ming looked at him strangely for a long time, and then shook his head, "When did I worry about him? You think too much!"

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong are the well-deserved protagonists, and their fate is much better than that of Guo Jing. At least they lived a peaceful and happy life and got their beautiful girlfriends. Guo Jing worked hard for the country and the people, and in the end he got what he wanted and was loyal to the country. This was his own choice, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is really not a very good ending.

The two of them were able to stir up the world by accident. Now, Su Ming has given him a higher platform and helped him lay a solid foundation. I wonder how far they can go in this world.

……

Under the moonlight, the night wind blew through the mountains and forests, and the grass and trees made a rustling sound. The mountains and forests in the distance were like a wild beast that was ready to devour people, which made people afraid.

"Cough cough!" A Taoist priest was running in the night, and from time to time he could not suppress his coughing sounds.

He didn't want to make any sound, but his internal energy had been exhausted and the wounds that were still bleeding took up a lot of his energy, so he couldn't care less.

fast!
Run away!
Zuo Youxian held the sword, blood flowing from his chest, soaking his clothes, "Damn it, where did this kid come from? Why is he staring at me?" He cursed in his heart, fled to a big tree, tore his clothes, and sprinkled medicine powder to stop the bleeding.

However, the blood from the hideous wound kept flowing and could not be stopped at all. He felt the sharp sword energy lingering in the wound, constantly preventing the blood and flesh from healing. If this continued, he would be dragged to death.

At this moment, he felt dizzy. Oh no, too much blood was flowing.

Zuo Youxian bit the tip of his tongue, regained some consciousness, and ran quickly in the grove.

Suddenly, a faint light of fire entered his sight.

anyone?

He was delighted and didn't care about anything else at this moment. He ran over quickly. What he saw was an abandoned temple. Perhaps because there had been no incense for many years, the temple looked a little dilapidated. Before he even went in, he smelled a pungent earthy smell.

At this moment, he could no longer care about other things. If he didn't heal his wounds, he would just wait for death. He gritted his teeth and staggered towards the ruined temple. As soon as he stepped through the door, a plain voice echoed in the ruined temple in the night breeze, showing the man's profound inner strength.

"Zuo Youxian, you're finally here." Hearing the voice, Zuo Youxian showed a miserable smile on his face. He stopped running and walked straight in.

In this dark corner, I saw a pair of indescribable eyes, clear and bright, with distinct black and white. They were like two stars hanging in the night sky, shining brightly.

It was not dark inside. Rays of light came down from the holes all around. There was also a fire burning in the middle. When the fire shone, a Taoist priest was seen sitting next to the fire, with a horse standing beside him.

This Taoist was none other than Xu Ziling who had just come down the mountain.

Unable to fight or run away, Zuo Youxian simply gave up and walked over to sit down. "We are both Taoists, why do you keep chasing me?"

"Are you both from the Taoist sect?" Xu Ziling glanced at him with a half-smile. "You are from the True Sect, one of the two sects of the Demon Sect and the Six Paths. You are the true descendant of the Taoist Patriarch, and you are nicknamed Ziwu Sword. Am I right?"

The earliest origin of Zhenchuan Dao can be traced back to the primitive Taoism in the Qin and Han Dynasties, namely the Huang-Lao Dao. The Five Pecks of Rice Dao in the late Han Dynasty also originated from this.

Compared with later Taoism, primitive Taoism pays more attention to sublimating the mysteries of cosmic life through matters between men and women.

Since Cao Cao sent Zhang Lu to Guanzhong, Taoism gradually separated from the people and became formalized and mainstream.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Lu Xiujing and Kou Qianzhi respectively set out to rectify Taoism. At that time, Northern Tianshi Taoism became the mainstream of Taoism.

It was at this time that Zhen Chuandao was expelled from orthodox Taoism. After Kou Qianzhi's death, Bei Tianshi Dao was short-lived and was blown away by the wind and rain, but its teachings spread and became the mainstream of Taoism.

And those things that originally belonged to the Taoist tradition were declared to be three false laws, and the true Taoism was reduced from the orthodox path to the evil path.

Even within the True Transmission Sect, there were differences, and it split into two branches, the True Transmission Sect of Daozu and the Laojun Temple. It has been passed down to this day under the suppression of the two major sects of Buddhism and Taoism.

The True Transmission Sect is a branch of the original Taoism. It has both the orthodox Taoist Xuanmen and some Heavenly Demon Strategies. However, they obtained too few Heavenly Demon Strategies, and they were divided into two factions internally, making the True Transmission Sect the last one in the Demon Sect.

"Ahem." Zuo Youxian's pupils shrank, his throat felt sweet, and another mouthful of blood gushed out, "Who are you?"

To be honest, Zuo Youxian was also wondering. He had just been in seclusion in the Taoist temple and had just mastered the eighteenth level of Ziwu Gang and reached the state of sword and sword fusion. He never expected that this kid would come to their Taoist temple to hang up. The moment they met, he was discovered by Zuo Youxian and was chased here.

This kid is young, but his martial arts skills are extremely high. He has mastered the sword and energy combination, and originally wanted to defeat the successor of Laojun Temple and regain the position of the leader of the Zhenchuan School. However, he met Xu Ziling before he even went out.

In fact, Xu Ziling was also depressed. Before going down the mountain, Su Ming told him not to seek revenge, so he avoided Chang'an and headed north. He passed by a beautiful mountain range, and there happened to be a Taoist temple there, so he stayed there.

Zuo Youxian's martial arts seemed to be based on Taoism, but he, a direct descendant of Taoism who had practiced the Art of Immortality, could tell at a glance that the Art of Immortality was based on refining Qi and was most sensitive to Qi.

Sure enough, as soon as the test was carried out, Zuo Youxian's true identity was exposed.

At this time, Xu Ziling was not as ignorant as in the original novel. He had read a lot of classics from the two major sects in the north and the south, and knew a lot about the internal affairs of the Demon Sect. At the very least, he recognized the Ziwu Sword in Zuo Youxian's hand at a glance. In addition, the sword energy emitted by his sword aura was sharp, domineering, eerie and strange, and the characteristics were too obvious.

He thought that since the He Shi Bi could not be found for the time being, it would be a good idea to target someone from the Demon Sect first, so Zuo Youxian became miserable.

He gnashed his teeth in hatred when he thought of this kid's unpredictable swordsmanship. The sword energy he was so proud of was nothing in front of him. He only had the upper hand in terms of skill, but he was still being chased.

Xu Ziling bowed and said in a deep voice, "I am Xu Ziling, the Taoist of the Taoist Alliance. I travel the world on behalf of the Taoists and spread the prestige of our Taoists."

"Daozi?" Zuo Youxian was confused. He had been in seclusion for a long time and had not been exposed to news from the outside world for a long time. He didn't know about the merger of the sects.

Xu Ziling was not in a hurry to kill him, so he explained to him the origin of the Taoist Alliance.

After hearing this, Zuo Youxian felt it was ridiculous and muttered to himself, "Ning Daoqi is dead? Did those nuns from Cihang Jingzhai run away too?"

"No, you must be lying to me!"

"Whether it is true or not, you have your own conclusion in your heart." Xu Ziling shook his head and took the sword casually. "Now, you can rest in peace."

Zuo Youxian's eyelids jumped, and he begged for mercy quickly, "Wait, don't kill me, I am still useful, I can join you and be an insider for the Taoist sect, my Zhenchuan faction is the inheritance of the Taoist sect!"

"No need." He only said three short words in response, and then a flash of sword light passed by...

"I will fight you!" Zuo Youxian was certainly not willing to sit and wait for death. He had already made preparations secretly. Before Xu Ziling could unsheathe his sword, he attacked first with Ziwu Sword.

Xu Ziling sat there, tilted his head slightly, and stretched out two fingers, just right on the sword, "You'd better die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his fingers on the sword edge, and an invisible spiritual force burst out. Zuo Youxian felt a pain in his heart, as if thousands of steel needles were stabbing him. He suddenly spurted out blood and fell to the ground.

how come?
There was only one thought left in his mind. The Ziwu sword in his hand fell to the ground and his eyes turned gray.

Xu Ziling took his hand back, looked at him and sighed, "Do you really think I'm unprepared?"

He had been hanging around in the streets since he was a child, so it goes without saying that he was very good at observing people's words and expressions. As soon as he entered the room, he sensed the murderous intention of Zuo Youxian. Coincidentally, he was also waiting for the sword energy from Zuo Youxian to invade his meridians.

As expected, Zuo Youxian suddenly took action, exhausting the little true energy in his body. He then mobilized the remaining sword energy in the opponent's body to attack, and the opponent died without even having to draw his sword.

Afterwards, he walked forward to touch the corpse, but only got a copy of the Ziwu Sword Manual. He flipped it open and saw that the sword energy combined moves were not recorded there, and he couldn't help showing a little regret.

If Zuo Youxian had not just mastered it and his sword energy merged state was still at the level of spirit separation rather than spirit turbulence, he would not have been defeated so easily.
