Yang Zhao listened with great interest and nodded continuously.
However, after digesting some of the secrets, he couldn't help but ask, "Old man, you've gone off topic a bit. What does this have to do with the Zhang family saint supporting the prince of Beiliang to travel to the Song Dynasty?"
Zhao Pu glared at Yang Zhao and said, "We haven't talked about this yet, why are you so anxious?"
Yang Zhao smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, old man, please speak slowly."
Zhao Pu was very angry. He took two puffs of his pipe and said, "The immortals and gods have been communicating with the human world all the time. Some of them have found some weak gaps between the two worlds in the long years after the ancient times. They can transfer their power to the human world, and even go down to the human world in various ways."
"These immortals and gods dare not launch large-scale invasions on the human world as they did in the past, but they also do not allow the emergence of strong people who threaten them, that is, the land immortals."
"Let's not talk about other things. In the Song Dynasty alone, our former Emperor Zhao Kuangyin was extremely powerful, but he was plotted against by the gods and passed down the art of swallowing and raising dragons. He died halfway through. In order to seek stability and inheritance for the Song Dynasty, I broke into the realm of the gods and immortals on land. For the past two hundred years, I can only sit in the cave of the emperor's mausoleum."
Zhao Pu's words made Yang Zhao suddenly understand.
No wonder Yang Zhao felt strange, there were many Martial Saints in the world, all of them were extremely talented and gifted, but no one had ever broken into the realm of immortals on earth.
It turns out that above the Martial Saint, there is a group of immortals and gods in the sky who control and hunt.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhao couldn't help but look at Zhang Fuyao with gleaming eyes.
Zhang Fuyao nodded and smiled, saying: "Yes, I was able to enter the realm of immortals hundreds of years ago."
~~
I was discharged from the hospital today. Starting tomorrow, I will resume normal updates, five updates of 10,000 words.
Chapter 258: Yang Zhao fell out with Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao?
Zhang Fuyao was the first generation Martial Saint of Shangyin Academy and had lived for at least eight hundred years.
There are all kinds of rumors in the Song Dynasty.
Some people say that Zhang Fuyao has acquired magical powers and can achieve immortality.
Some people say that Zhang Fuyao once took an elixir that allowed him to live a thousand years.
Some people also said that Zhang Fuyao’s lifespan had run out and he wouldn’t live much longer.
But one thing has not changed from the beginning to the end, that is, Zhang Fuyao had already become the Confucian Martial Saint eight hundred years ago, and was one of the most unfathomable people in the world.
Even Zhao Kuangyin, who lived two hundred years ago, had reached the pinnacle of earthly immortals.
Even Zhao Pu, a half-baked Confucian warrior who relied on half of the Analects to rule the world, could enter the realm of immortals on earth.
Considering Zhang Fuyao's qualifications, there is no reason for him to stay at the Martial Saint realm.
And now, Zhang Fuyao also personally admitted that the other party had been able to enter the realm of terrestrial immortals hundreds of years ago.
Inexplicably, Yang Zhao seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes showed admiration.
Zhang Fuyao noticed the change in Yang Zhao's eyes, but he remained calm and smiled reservedly.
Zhao Pu, on the other hand, said with a look of relief: "It seems that you have already thought of some key things."
Yang Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, "Old man, Saint, may I ask if the powerful people in the world have any agreement or something like that with the immortal gods in the sky?"
Zhao Pu was overjoyed and said, "Smart, you have a very smart brain."
"Among our human race, there are not only the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but also the three dynasties of Xia, Shang and Zhou. We have fought and killed endlessly with those immortal gods in the lower world."
"At the end of the Shang Dynasty, the ancestors of our human race fought the last large-scale war with the immortal gods in the heavens and the lower worlds. There was no winner or loser, and both sides suffered heavy losses, so they signed a human-god covenant."
"After the Shang Dynasty, cultivators on earth stopped at the Martial Saint realm. If they wanted to continue to break through, they had to break through the void and go to heaven before they could break into the realm of immortals on earth."
"Similarly, the immortals and gods in heaven are not allowed to descend to the mortal world without reason. Even if they do, they must destroy their cultivation or die in battle and reincarnate."
Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment, and said: "They are afraid, so they want to restrict our human race from the side."
Zhao Pu nodded, revealing a serious look, and said: "Yes, the so-called immortals and gods are just cultivators who are more powerful than us. They can also die, feel pain, and be afraid."
"For thousands of years, the immortals of the human race have continued to ascend. The situation in the heavens has become increasingly chaotic, and the constraints between the two realms have increased. Some people have continued to uphold the will of the human race after ascending, while others have joined the ranks of immortals after ascending."
"Especially those foreign barbarians, after ascending, they also never abide by the law."
"And these people are more familiar with everything in the human world. They use various methods to influence the human world, bewitch and disintegrate people's hearts, causing the Great Zhou to fall apart and causing wars everywhere in the human world."
"In this situation, in order to guard against the gods in heaven, the human world needs to have strong people on guard."
"Some human heroes with extraordinary talents can defeat immortal gods with the bodies of martial saints..."
The meaning of Zhao Pu's words is already very clear.
Someone like Zhang Fuyao is a true martial saint in the world, who can suppress all abnormal existences in heaven and on earth. He is also the last backbone of the human race.
Yang Zhao's expression turned very ugly, and he asked, "Does Beiliang have the support of immortals and gods?"
Zhao Pu smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, the Queen of Beimang under the Great Yuan Dynasty was infatuated with Xu Xiao. She introduced the art of communicating with immortals and gods into Beiliang, which enabled Xu Xiao to reach some agreements with the immortals and gods in the sky."
Yang Zhao's expression changed drastically, and he asked, "What agreement?"
Zhao Pu said nothing, but Zhang Fuyao stood up and said, "The immortal warriors from heaven have reincarnated as human beings to fight for the dragon in the world."
"grass!"
Yang Zhao had already guessed the result, but he still couldn't help cursing out loud.
Zhang Fuyao smiled and said, "The situation is not as bad as you imagined. The immortals of our human race do not have no foundation in the heavens. In this covenant agreement, we have won some conditions. The immortal who came down to the world to reincarnate is the Great Emperor Zhenwu, who is close to our human race."
Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment, and said, "But is it the Prince of Beiliang?"
Zhang Fuyao stroked his beard and said, "Yes, it is this boy."
Yang Zhao looked unhappy and said, "Whether in public or private, I don't believe in those so-called immortals and gods. This is not a reason for the saint to stand on the side of Beiliang."
He has a somewhat cold attitude towards Yang Zhao.
Zhang Fuyao was not annoyed and said, "The reincarnation of immortals is not without cost. Many immortals have perished in the process, and many have become pillars of our human race after reincarnating into the human world."
"I have tried to test the prince of Beiliang before. His memory of the past Zhenwu has completely disappeared in the process of reincarnation. If we can educate him, we may be able to make him a member of our human race..."
Yang Zhao sneered and interrupted Zhang Fuyao's words, saying: "Is this the reason of the saint, to destroy the two hundred years of foundation of our Song Dynasty and welcome a new god as the emperor of the world?"
"What's the difference between you and others, old thing..."
"Shut up, Yang boy."
Yang Zhao was about to lose his temper on the spot, but was stopped by Zhao Pu in a very serious tone.
The powerful aura, like a deep ocean, stagnated in the void, blocking Yang Zhao's every move with its overwhelming force, and making Yang Zhao unable to utter a word.
Yang Zhao was furious and was about to use his own trump card to stage a havoc in Heaven.
But at this time.
Zhang Fuyao waved his hand, mobilizing his boundless righteousness, disintegrating Zhao Pu's oppressive aura, and said, "Why are you angry, old friend? The world's affairs will be judged by the world's people. I have only made my own decision, so how can I shut others out because of this?"
Zhang Fuyao does have the demeanor of a great scholar and was not angry at Yang Zhao's actions.
Yang Zhao calmed down a little because of this and looked at Zhao Pu with a sharp gaze.
If there is no reasonable explanation for this matter, Yang Zhao will use all his trump cards to destroy the ultimate strength of the Song Dynasty that has become biased.
A fierce murderous aura spanned the void.
Yang Zhao's murderous intent was endless and his target was obvious, as if he was determined to burn his boats.
Zhao Pu was in a state of confusion, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "You little bastard, you are such a dog-faced fool. You change your mind at any time, and you are so overbearing."
All nine swords came out of Yang Zhao's body, and he said, "So what?"
Zhao Pu was almost laughing out of anger, and said, "Okay, you are powerful and noble. If it weren't for Lao Zhang, Lao Wang and others who were carrying the pressure from heaven, and if Xu Xiao completely devoted himself to the immortals and gods and joined forces with Beimang, then a million troops would march south, and there would be immortals and gods to help. Will you be responsible for the reputation of hundreds of millions of people in my Song Dynasty?"
The gods are powerful, the northern barbarians are vicious, and the pressure is everywhere.
Chapter 259 We are guilty
A man must be rich and powerful to stand tall.
This principle also applies to the two worlds, countries, and forces.
Zhang Fuyao agreed to let the immortal gods in heaven who were friendly to the human race come down to the mortal world, dissolve into soldiers and reincarnate as humans to fight for the dragon in the world. This was also the best choice he made amidst all the helplessness.
Otherwise, the two sides will become completely hostile, and both the immortals and the Northern Liang will attack the Song Dynasty with all their might.
With the strength of the Song Dynasty, it could not withstand such an attack.
Even Zhao Pu, a pillar of the Song Dynasty, had to agree.
Yang Zhao could understand the difficulties and thoughts of the two.
But understanding is one thing, and agreement is absolutely impossible.
Perhaps after the Great Emperor Zhenwu was reincarnated as the Prince of Beiliang, his memories of his past life had completely disappeared. It is also possible that he could really be educated by Zhang Fuyao and others and integrated into the human race.
But Yang Zhao would never place his hope on others, or to be more precise, on his god.
It is rumored that the Great Emperor Zhenwu is also a giant in heaven and has lived for more than a few thousand years.
An old monster of this level has deep scheming, many methods, and exquisite secret techniques. If he really wants to hide it from Zhang Fuyao, Zhao Pu and others, I think there should be a way.
Thousands of years have passed since the Shang Dynasty, and no more immortals and gods have descended to the mortal world in large numbers.
This shows that there is still power in this world that can compete with the gods in heaven.
The binding force of the ancient covenant between man and God seems to be still quite solid.
And in this case, even if the relationship is completely broken, the Song Dynasty can only mobilize the national strength to fight against Beiliang and Beimang with all its might.
The outcome is still unknown, so it doesn't make sense to give up before the fight even starts.
As expected, people who are used to living in the borderland of Dasong have corrupted their morals.
Confucianists should just manage the people's livelihood peacefully, and not let these literati be in charge. They have no blood at all.
Don’t you think that something that cannot be taken by force can be obtained by just educating with words?
After thinking about it.
Yang Zhao did not argue with Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao, but said with a sullen face: "People with different ideals cannot work together. Lord Zhao and Saint Zhang, may I ask you one question, in this fight for the dragon, are you determined to side with the people of Beiliang?"
Yang Zhao's attitude change was very obvious.
Before, Yang Zhao addressed Zhao Pu as "old man" in a very affectionate way, but now, it has become "Prime Minister Zhao".
This made Zhao Pu's mind waver, and he felt inexplicably uneasy.
On the contrary, Zhang Fuyao remained calm and said, "Don't worry, my friend. We have no intention of favoring Beiliang, and we will never interfere in the matter of fighting for the dragon."
"Ah!"
Yang Zhao sneered and said, "You have already intervened. Without your help, how dare Beiliang arrogantly enter Bianjing? How dare the Beiliang prince set foot on the territory of the Song Dynasty?"
"It's because of spineless people like you that Song Dynasty has become such a coward."
"Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, our race has built its position in the world step by step through blood and fire, and the determination to fight for every inch of land."
"The human-god covenant that countless human ancestors forged with their blood and bones will sooner or later be destroyed in your hands."
Yang Zhao's cold words made Zhang Fuyao's face change drastically.
There is no doubt that these words touched Zhang Fuyao's heart.
No matter how nicely Zhang Fuyao spoke, how carefully he investigated, or how confident he was in the attitude of the Prince of Beiliang, it was undeniable that it was Zhang Fuyao and others who opened the door for the immortals and gods to come down to the world to fight for the dragon.
Everything has a beginning and an end.
Once the door is opened, it is difficult to close it.
Zhang Fuyao and others are typical examples of people who mean well but end up doing bad things. They don't have the ability to take on the responsibility of the whole world, but they have the compassion to comfort the people.
But I didn't expect that this kind of mercy through force is useless.
During the 200 years of the Song Dynasty, when Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin founded the country, he had countless brave generals under his command, who killed so many people that the entire Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were turned upside down, and the gods and immortals in heaven did not dare to set foot in the mortal world.
Until Zhao Kuangyin's death, the Song Dynasty emphasized culture over military power, and its control over this land became increasingly weak.
The lessons learned in the past are still vivid in my mind.
Zhao Pu, Zhang Fuyao and others can even be considered as personal witnesses.
However, these two hundred years of peace and comfort have worn away the bloodiness that supports the desire to save the world in people like Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao.
Until this moment, Yang Zhao used the most incisive words to expose the false prosperity and peace in the hearts of the two.
