One can imagine the joy of the ten brothers of Yishe.
Yang Zhao comforted the brothers of the Yishe Society and soon let the nine of them return to the underworld cave. Opening up the Dragon Court, benefiting the people, and collecting incense were the future paths for these brothers of the Yishe Society.
Without the power of incense, even if Yang Zhaokong had the skill of opening the eyes, he would not be able to enlighten the evil spirits.
Wait until we have dealt with this group of Yishe brothers.
Zhao Pu just patted Yang Zhao's shoulder with a smile, and then his eyes pierced through the void, looking towards the direction of the Shangyin Academy in Yecheng, and said: "Zhang Fuyao, you old immortal, how long are you going to spy? Old friends are reunited, why don't you come out to see them?"
"Ugh!"
Along with a sigh, the void was soon shattered, and in the sky filled with righteous energy, an old man in a Confucian robe and a square scarf on his head stepped out.
The person who came was the first generation saint of Shangyin Academy, Zhang Fuyao.
Compared to a half-baked Confucian land immortal like Zhao Pu, Zhang Fuyao's aura is not inferior at all, and compared to Zhao Pu, Zhang Fuyao looks more like a real Confucian scholar.
As for Zhao Pu, he was at most a farmer who had spent his time reading a few books.
The first moment this Fuyao appeared.
Yang Zhao keenly sensed that the aura on the other party was the same power that helped Xie Guanying to calm his breath and replenish his energy when he was lacking in true strength.
However, it was precisely this that made Yang Zhao even more confused.
Logically speaking, Zhang Fuyao should have reached a certain agreement with Beiliang, and his entire position should have been on Beiliang's side.
But if the other party was already from Beiliang, why would he help him open up the Yinshi Dragon Court in the northern border before?
Yang Zhao's original intention of opening up the Yinshi Dragon Court in the northern border was to let the brothers of Yishe come and transform into national guardian gods, use the bodies of Yinshi gods to suppress the spiritual veins of the northern border and block the way for the prince of Beiliang.
I don’t know what this Zhang Fuyao is thinking.
Just when Yang Zhao was full of doubts, Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao looked at each other, then laughed out loud and started a very cordial conversation.
This scene made Yang Zhao even more confused.
Chapter 256 Zhang Family Saint Zhang Fuyao
The appearance of Zhang Fuyao and the friendship between Mr. Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao.
All of this made Yang Zhao very confused.
But unfortunately, both Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao are top bosses, and they don’t seem to have any intention of explaining anything to Yang Zhao for the time being.
Yang Zhao had no choice but to turn his head and look at Xie Guanying and Nangong Pushe, father and daughter.
At this time, Xie Guanying and his daughter Nangong Pushe still looked absent-minded.
You know, when Yang Zhao first proposed the so-called Yinshi Dragon Court and Conferred God Plan.
Although Xie Guanying had great hopes, in fact, deep down, he was just like Nangong Pushe and did not believe in this stuff at all.
If ghosts and gods really exist, why has no one seen them in thousands of years?
But the previous scenes of searching for dragon veins, opening up caves, and pardoning ghosts and gods really shocked the father and daughter, and shattered their three views of half a lifetime.
It took a long time for Xie Guanying and Nangong Pushe, father and daughter, to come back to their senses.
Without waiting for Yang Zhao to speak.
Xie Guanying was already looking at Yang Zhao with an extremely affectionate look, and he knelt down on the spot to save Yang Zhao's thigh, and said: "My lord, I know today how great an honor and opportunity it is to be your servant. There are hundreds of people in the Xie family, and I wish that generations to come..."
If it was said that Xie Guanying had no choice but to compromise when Yang Zhaoqiang robbed his true soul before.
Now, even if Yang Zhao punched and kicked him to release his true spirit, Xie Guanying would definitely not be willing to do so.
As for the dignity and face of the Martial Saint, what the hell is that?
Seeing his own father being so shameless and flattering, Nangong Pushe's forehead was covered with black lines, and he had the urge to stab his own father to death with a knife.
This is so damn embarrassing. How could I have such a father?
Just when Nangong Pushe was pondering whether he should completely sever ties with his biological father.
Xie Guanying had already stood up, pushed Nangong Pushe, and forcibly stuffed Nangong Pushe into Yang Zhao's arms, and said with a solemn and loyal look: "Nangong, your father has sworn a blood oath in the name of all the ancestors. From now on, the Xie family will be the most loyal servants of the master for generations to come."
"Today, I entrust the important task of serving the master to you, my daughter. The master is the reincarnation of a celestial being and the incarnation of a god. Remember, you must take care of the master..."
Nangong Pushe quickly came to her senses, broke free from Yang Zhao's arms, her pretty face flushed.
Then, Nangong Pushe kicked Xie Guanying to the ground and angrily shouted, "Xie Guanying, today I, Nangong Pushe, will sever ties with you. From now on, I don't have a father like you."
After saying this, Nangong Pushe glared at Yang Zhao fiercely again and left the Temple of the Gods in great anger.
Yang Zhao rubbed his hands and sighed that they felt really good.
Moreover, Yang Zhao swore that he definitely did not do it on purpose. It was all because of the other party’s biological father’s sudden move that he was unable to react.
However, the most beautiful woman in the North is really good.
At the moment when Yang Zhao was stunned, Xie Guanying rolled over and stood up, bowed to Yang Zhao and said, "My lord, my daughter is shy, please don't blame me. I will go and persuade her. It is the glory of my Xie family to let her serve you. I will take my leave first."
After saying this, Xie Guanying quickly chased after Nangong Pushe and left in a hurry.
In order to curry favor with Yang Zhao, Xie Guanying has now completely lost all his shamelessness.
Yang Zhao shook his head and laughed.
However, it must be said that the heads and children of these aristocratic families are really shrewd people who understand the situation and know how to advance and retreat.
The temple has been built and the cave has been opened up.
With the arrival of Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao, although Xie Guanying and Nangong Pushe, father and daughter, had some conflicts, they were tactful enough not to stay in the temple.
It was not until this time that Yang Zhao turned his head and looked at Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao.
at the same time.
Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao had finished reminiscing about the past, and looked towards Yang Zhao with teasing and admiring eyes respectively.
"Hello, old man."
Yang Zhao was extremely thick-skinned. After greeting Zhao Pu, he calmly looked at Zhang Fuyao and said, "Younger generation of the Yang family, I have met the Saint of the Zhang family. I wonder if the Saint helped you before?"
Zhao Pu and Yang Zhao were already very familiar with each other, so they nodded as a greeting.
Zhang Fuyao, on the other hand, looked at Yang Zhao with admiration, nodded, and said, "My friend, you are extremely talented. Your technique of finding the dragon's eyes is magnificent. I am stationed in the northern border and saw that the Xie family member is not strong enough. I couldn't bear to see this matter fail, so I gave him some of my true energy."
Yes it is, no it is not.
With just one sentence, Yang Zhao could feel Zhang Fuyao's upright character.
But no matter what, Yang Zhao accepted the other party's help, quickly bowed, and said: "I thank the saint for his help, but I don't know... I don't know what the saint's plan is?"
Originally, Yang Zhao was planning to test the waters in a subtle way.
But soon, Yang Zhao thought of Zhang Fuyao's upright character, and halfway through his conversation, he directly asked about the doubts in his heart.
Zhao Pu looked at Yang Zhao with a smile and admiration.
Zhang Fuyao also smiled and said, "I just follow my heart and do what I should do. I don't have any plans. But I don't know why you are worried, my friend."
Hearing Zhang Fuyao's words, Yang Zhao raised his eyebrows.
With Zhang Fuyao's cultivation, state of mind, and experience, he would not bother to lie to himself.
Could it be that Zhang Fuyao had no intention of going against the Song Dynasty court?
But if this is the case, how do we explain Zhang Fuyao's decision to side with Beiliang?
Yang Zhao was puzzled, so he took advantage of the presence of the great leader Zhao Pu to ask directly, "Master Zhang, I will not hide anything. May I ask the saint, is it harmful to our Song Dynasty if we join forces with that Beiliang villain?"
Zhang Fuyao smiled and said, "My dear friend, do you think that I am in cahoots with Beiliang?"
Yang Zhao narrowed his eyes and said solemnly, "Isn't it? Beiliang has evil ambitions. Its prince used traveling as an excuse to devour the spiritual power and luck of our Song Dynasty and raise the dragon of Beiliang. If he is not in collusion with Beiliang, how can a saint speak for such a villain?"
Zhang Fuyao was stunned by Yang Zhao's question, and then looked in the direction of Zhao Pu and said, "Old friend, such a talented person, haven't you told the truth yet?"
Zhao Pu was also stunned for a moment, looked at Yang Zhao, and said: "Didn't Zhao Ji tell you?"
Chapter 257: Chaos of Immortals and Gods
There are many things in this world that can only be known when one’s cultivation level and status reach a certain level.
For example, some secrets about ancient immortals and gods.
Without the strength of a Martial Saint and the status of an Emperor, even if immortals and gods were right in front of him, he would have no idea what those existences represented.
Everyone knows about the existence of Emperor Zhao Ji and the Four Martial Saints in the Song Dynasty.
However, after Zhao Shirong became the princess guarding the country and regent of the entire court, her ambition to become the empress was obvious. The Four Martial Saints did not want to interfere, so Emperor Zhao Ji took refuge in the Gen Palace.
Due to various coincidences, Zhao Shirong now controls the entire Song Dynasty court, but he has not inherited the various secrets, background, arsenal, treasure house, etc. of the Song Dynasty royal family.
These secrets and powers that truly belong to the Song Dynasty royal family are still firmly in Zhao Ji's hands.
After hearing what Yang Zhao said.
Zhao Pu shook his head and Zhang Fuyao sighed, but neither of them expressed any opinion.
Unlike external invaders and rebellious bandits, Zhao Ji was the emperor of the Song Dynasty who had not yet stepped down, while Zhao Shirong, Yang Zhao and others were the real rebels.
Of course, Zhao Shirong also has orthodox royal blood, and is countless times more wise and decisive.
But in the eyes of Confucian strongmen like Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao, the greatest tolerance they could have was to regard this as a power struggle within the Zhao Song royal family. Not getting involved in it was already the limit.
It is difficult to get the most orthodox Confucian warriors such as Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao to help Zhao Shirong ascend to the throne.
Just look at Xin Qiji, Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Kou Zhun, Han Qi and others in the past and you will know that it is extremely difficult to conquer them one by one.
Even after being conquered, these people can only help with government coordination and cheering.
During the nearly one year that Zhao Shirong was regent, none of these bastards ever said that they allowed Zhao Shirong to ascend the throne.
These stinky and stubborn bastards don't even care about the merit of following the dragon.
Again, the greatest tolerance a true Confucian can show to this is not to oppose it.
The same is true for Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao.
All I can say is that these bastards are stubborn and stinky, which can also be said to be the Confucian character and integrity.
In the national temple, whenever Yang Zhao mentioned related matters, his temper became very bad and he kept cursing.
Zhao Pu couldn't stand it anymore. He felt that Yang Zhao was making insinuations, but he had no evidence. He could only change the subject and said, "That's enough, kid. You and Shi Rong should handle the court case by yourselves. Today, I will tell you the secrets of the ancient gods and immortals."
Seeing Zhao Pu's face turn black, Yang Zhao quickly stopped while he was ahead.
It was just a test to see if he could get Zhao Pu to change his flag, openly stand on the side of Zhao Shirong, and completely drive Zhao Ji out of power.
Since that's not possible, it's better not to anger this old man.
Zhao Zhao's anger came quickly and went away even faster, just like changing his face.
Zhao Pu cursed inwardly, "You little bastard!" Then he habitually took out his pipe, took two puffs, and then said, "The four great Han dynasties in the world all emerged in troubled times."
"The Qin dynasty inherited the chaos of the Five Hegemons and Seven Kingdoms, the Sui dynasty inherited the chaos of the Five Barbarians in the north and south, the Song dynasty inherited the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the Ming dynasty inherited the chaos of natural disasters and foreign races."
"The ultimate reason for the formation of these chaotic times is the bewitching influence of the gods and the loss of people's hearts."
Listening to Zhao Pu's words, Yang Zhao was confused.
Yang Zhao has done some research on these turbulent times.
However, Yang Zhao's research perspective was only to consider aspects such as productivity, political system, and foreign threats, and he never thought of the promotion of immortals and gods.
Zhao Pu looked grim, and said, "Boy, do you know that in ancient times, the emperor of mankind had a connection with the sky?"
Yang Zhao nodded and said, "I've heard a little bit about it. It's said that in ancient times, humans and gods lived together, and most of the human race was ruled and enslaved by immortals and gods. The Human Emperor Zhuanxu, with his great willpower and great magical powers, drove the immortals and gods back to heaven and restored the order of heaven and earth."
Zhao Pu nodded and shook his head, saying: "What you know is not wrong, but it is not complete."
"The so-called immortals are actually just a group of defeated dogs who lost the battle for the throne in ancient times. They are the origin of all the alien races on the land of Kyushu today. They believe that the strong rule everything and keep us humans like pigs and dogs in captivity."
"The so-called ancient times were actually the era of war between the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the immortals and gods."
"It's true that Emperor Zhuanxu had the ability to communicate with the gods, but he didn't completely isolate the human world from the gods. Whether it's alien races or Buddhism and Taoism, they all have ways to communicate with the gods."
"After a long war and the test of time, the immortals and gods in heaven were also divided and lured away by the human race."
"For example, the Western God, the God of Holy Fire, and the God of Eternal Life, which are mainly worshipped by the alien races, are all radical factions among the immortal gods, and have always advocated ruling and enslaving everything."
"However, some of the immortals and Buddhas believed in by Taoism and Buddhism are relatively peaceful and advocate coexistence with humans."
