Chapter 515: Immortal Bloody Disaster
Just about two years ago, that was a year and 9 months to be exact.
Yang Cang successfully became the master of the Tianji Pavilion in this era by virtue of his reputation as one of the Eight Immortals and his uncanny skills in calculating the secrets of heaven. Naturally, there will be a struggle for power change during this period. Fortunately, fortune telling is not a struggle for power.
Yang Cang successfully fought for the throne with the current master of the Tianji Pavilion, who was more than ten generations older than himself, and the other party was willing to admit defeat without any casualties.
Hand then he began to work on modern society and practice.
Yang Cang originally thought that he couldn't adapt, but after a few days of getting familiar with it, he suddenly realized that wasn't this the same palace and two doors in his previous life? The three major forces of Buddhism, Taoism and Moon are in power, taking turns to rule the world and control the resources that each of them is good at.
For example, the Moon Palace controls spiritual stones and spiritual veins, gathering the world's wealth for the world's use.
Now it's just replaced by government, company, fairy gate.
The power of ordinary people has been greatly strengthened due to their own so-called scientific and technological progress and the development and construction of the power system. And Xianmen has more time to practice, and the company has become a place for communication and competition between various forces.
Because the top experts of this era have returned, their demands cannot be as unified as they were in the previous life. In addition, the immortals are not in power and there is no supreme voice. The situation is actually countless times more complicated than in the previous life.
It seems to be a tripartite decentralization of power. In fact, the local and local immortal sects may also wear the same pants. Just like the relationship between a university and local government, interests are intertwined.
These are things that Yang Cang needs to adapt to and learn. Where there are people, there will be fights, and where there are fights, there will be vulgarity.
It doesn’t feel like you are practicing, but it is also part of your practice.
Fighting with others is the most important part of spiritual practice. Even immortals are said to have been involved in disputes caused by the confidante of Sword Immortal.
I originally thought that life would be peaceful like this. After all, although I am one of the Eight Ultimates, there are too many strong people in the world. Divination is not good at fighting. If the sky falls and there is a tall man to hold it up, why should he worry about it?
Until he calculated that the immortal would suffer a **** disaster.
Yang Cang jumped up immediately, with extremely complicated emotions. He admitted that after a brief period of shock, he was immediately followed by joy.
It's not that he has any objections to Li Yi, but Yang Cang is useful again.
Although he has not yet become a **** in his cultivation, although he is not good at fighting, and although he knows nothing about governance, he has calculated the **** disaster of the immortal and is helpful to the immortal.
So Yang Cang ran over in a hurry.
Now seeing Li Yi's carelessness, he was naturally very anxious.
"According to the divination of the younger generation, the great sage of the Western Regions is in conflict with your fate. The Western Regions use incense and spiritual fields as the way, human beings as grain, and human hearts as food. In the words of mortal officials, the history of the Western Regions is full of bandit culture, and The Holy Religion is monotheistic and is full of hostility to the existence of other civilizations."
“Their desire for external expansion is many times greater than that of the Qin Dynasty. Their originally small territory has now become dominant in the Western Regions. Sooner or later, Wu Xiang will come to visit.”
“As the saying goes, if two dragons are in the same position, one of them will die.”
The look on Li Yi's face was still casual. Yang Cang was already prepared to take out his mobile phone and put the screen on the table. In this way, Li Yi took a brief glance.
About the reconstruction of the Western Regions.
As a senior netizen, it is impossible that he has never heard of this matter. Nowadays, China Internet has shown a high degree of concern from top to bottom about the rebuilding of a civilized society in the Western Regions. This is a decade-long chaos that has long made people regard the outside world as a barbaric land.
The mentality of paying attention to the Western Regions is similar to paying attention to aliens
People's moods are complicated. Morally, they hope for peace in the Western Regions, but in terms of interests, they do not want the Western Regions to restore civilization.
Some people even bluntly said that only the chaotic Western Region is a good Western Region. It can serve as a raw material supplier for China. On the contrary, outside sects will also come to China to buy food when they encounter difficulties.
As for development, for the sect, it is good as long as people are not starved to death.
Shenzhou’s current economic boom is the result of the ebb and flow of the other, because other places are in chaos, and as the only place that maintains order, it is easy to profit from it. In terms of grain exports, Chudi feeds a quarter of the world's population.
Using these exported grains, Chu Di can control the population and economy of a certain area, and even instigate wars between sects.
A sect is essentially similar to a country.
Li Yi has rich experience in governance. Even if he doesn’t delve into it, just by looking at various information, he can actually understand that China has made huge profits from this chaos.
Shenzhou’s drive to drive tigers and devour wolves has almost swallowed the entire human society’s wealth accumulated over a century, extracting its essence and discarding its dross.
Those prime ministers and high-ranking officials in the mortal government are not ordinary people in the battles related to the fate of their families and countries. In his spare time, he talked with Wei Xi. During the turmoil eight years ago, China was in turmoil, but the countries outside were the ones who died in the end.
It would be impossible if there were no government officials to add fuel to the fire, and it is common for disasters to be diverted to the east.
After receiving the support of the immortals, what they thought about was not how to help all mankind, or maintain the dignity of mortals, or other lofty ideals. The machines of power will only compete with, devour, and expand each other.
Nowadays, many people do not want to see the reconstruction of civilization in the Western Regions.
For profit, virtue needs to be slightly behind.
It is also said that compassion does not govern the army, and benevolence does not engage in politics.
Now he is neither in charge of troops nor in power, he is just a common man.
“Pretty good.”
Li Yi made an understatement.
"ah?"
Yang Cang opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't expect to get this answer.
Pretty good?
Don’t the immortals understand the dangers involved?
"You don't know something... The great sage has taken root in the hearts of the people, and he will definitely gain a lot of faith. The younger generation has figured it out. Once the laws of heaven and earth are restored and the power of the Dao level is released, he will definitely be the first to reach the top with the magic of incense. .”
“Then he’ll fight me?”
Li Yi asked back, and Yang Cang naturally nodded and continued to talk: "Wen Wu is the best, Wu Wu is the second. Although you have never been born, you are already recognized as the number one in the world."
“A strong man of your level, every move affects the general trend of the world. According to the divination of this junior, the great sage will definitely cooperate with you..."
“The incense in the Western Regions was originally duckweed, but now it is deeply rooted in people’s hearts and can become a great road.”
“Shenzhou should strike first to make a strong move, disrupt its people, destroy its incense, and send troops to the Western Regions before they can be revived and before the laws of heaven and earth are rectified.”
“This junior has already thought about this for you, I just want an immortal order!”
As a peerless genius in divination, Yang Cang is naturally not bad at academics. Every word he speaks is true and every theory he holds is pragmatic.
And his thoughts cannot be hidden from Li Yi. This little old man is simply suffering from "old age anxiety", or perhaps the current stage of the Eternal Generation has rekindled his desire to fight. Just like those young people who have just entered the spiritual practice, looking at various lists, they are yearning for various geniuses.
If it were still the Immortal Palace era, Li Yi would consider keeping the other party to serve there.
But now he only feels noisy.
Just like a child showing off his deeds at school, Li Yi never disturbs others' interest for no reason.
Let him speak.
Yang Cang chattered for nearly half an hour, his mouth was dry, and Zhu Xue fell asleep leaning on Li Yi, and finally stopped.
With a red face and expectation in his eyes, he asked: "Immortal, as long as you give an immortal order, the Western Region will collapse and the incense will scatter."
"I no longer care about the affairs of the world. If he comes, it will only be my personal matter."
Li Yi shook his head and answered.
The union of heaven and earth leads to the creation of all things, the union of yin and yang leads to change, and the false union of nature leads to the rule of the world.
He is neither sad nor happy about the chaos in the Western Regions. If someone can bring peace to the Western Region, he thinks it is a good thing.
Whether Panhu wants to use incense against himself is another matter.
It is a matter that belongs to him personally and does not involve the world.
If the immortal disagrees, even if there are thousands of reasons, it will be difficult to promote this matter. He does not have the right to speak on this matter in the Western Region. Only after obtaining the Immortal Order can he be qualified to intervene and unify all parties.
“Junior, I’ll say goodbye.” “Well, by the way, if you have time in three days, you can come to celebrate Shushu’s birthday and tell her when she will grow up.”
"yes!"
Yang Cang left, and his mood became sunny again after being invited to the birthday celebration. Although he looks like an old god, he is still a child in front of Li Yi.
Rabbit who was preparing dinner in the kitchen saw this scene, and while chopping vegetables skillfully, he said: "The immortal is still so approachable, and he can listen to the little magic stick nagging for so long."
After so many years, Rabbit has never seen a more approachable strongman than Li Yi. Although I often don't pay attention to what others say, I always listen to the truth. It's just a question of whether to use it or not.
If it were him, he would have been thrown out as soon as Yang Cang opened his mouth.
Because strong people are extremely self-centered. To put it nicely, they have a firm mind. Most of them only allow what they can hear and what they believe.
“There’s nothing to do anyway.”
Li Yi patted Zhu Xue who was sleeping next to him and said:
“It’s almost time to eat.”
————————
The border of China.
Xu Zhongxian was riding in a transport convoy that traveled between the Western Regions and China, and finally set foot in this ancient oriental land that countless people yearned for.
He probably started paying attention to China when his reputation as a living immortal became known. At that time, he was still recovering from his injuries and hiding in a church in a small town. With the power of the original way of heaven, he barely avoided the eyes and ears of Wuxiang.
A living immortal.
ˆ It is a very ancient name for him. In the Asgard Era, it is estimated that except for a few historians, basically no one knew about it.
Because at that time, people called the former living immortals the king's father.
The focus is on the king and the father, while Xian is more of an honorific.
Entering the border of China, the first thing you see is a border checkpoint.
Through the car window, Xu Zhongxian could see soldiers with guns and ammunition standing behind the wire. From the style of their military uniforms, he could tell that these were soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.
Then the black pillars evenly distributed behind the border wire fence caught his attention.
It is a magic weapon in the foundation building period.
"finally arrived at home."
The driver next to him sounded a little excited. Supporting the reconstruction of the Western Region this time was difficult and dangerous, and it also made him experience a barbaric society similar to the post-apocalyptic era.
Unexpectedly, in just 10 years, the Western Region, which used to claim to be civilized and developed, would turn into a barbaric land.
In this way, China’s peace becomes even more precious.
A group of soldiers with guns in the distance said loudly: "Take out your ID cards and report the loss of your ID cards and related documents."
The convoy members then got out of the car one after another, took out their ID cards that had been prepared, then went through security inspection and queued up to clear customs.
Xu Zhongxian did not have any identification documents, but he successfully passed through the deception method.
After driving a few miles, before completely leaving the military-controlled area, Xu Zhongxian sighed softly and said, "Stop the car."
The driver was under the influence of ecstasy and pulled over very obediently, while other convoy members did not show any surprise when they saw this scene.
Evidently the whole convoy was under the spell of ecstasy.
Xu Zhongxian got out of the car and watched the convoy leave. Then he raised his head and looked up at the golden elixir-level monk standing on his sword in the sky.
He was discovered as early as he entered the territory of China. Xu Zhongxian did not expect that a small border pass was also guarded by Jindan. Not to mention that the strength of the person who came here was not low, at least it was not something that a half-crippled person like him could hide.
“Fellow Taoist, do you have an identity document?”
The leading monk asked.
Identity document is a monk's ID card, usually issued to reincarnations.
Xu Zhongxian shook his head, then slightly raised his hands and said frankly: "Xu Zhongxian, I came to China today to find an immortal, a living immortal, Li Changsheng."
He named three names in succession, pointing to the same person without any deviation.
The several Jindan monks who were responsible for arresting him looked at each other, and then the atmosphere was obviously not as tense as before. They put away their magic weapons, and the leader said:
“Then please come with us.”
Xu Zhongxian did not resist. According to his understanding, the different Western Regions in China were completely governed by the Immortal Way. The people in power are the disciples of the legendary immortals, the Taoist Qingxuan who is known as the semi-immortal in the records, and the master of the world who knows the thunder method of the immortal.
If they have no second thoughts, then they can be trusted.
But Xu Zhongxian did not know the two of them and was not familiar with them, so he did not reveal his identity at first.
Now it’s just a matter of entering into another imagined option.
Xu Zhongxian then took him to a military camp and saw a dignified female general with short shoulder-length hair and an extremely heroic temperament.
At first he knew he was not a Taoist from Qingxuan and didn't care much.
Wei Xi looked up at Xu Zhongxian and asked, "What do you want from your husband?"
Husband? !
Xu Zhongxian's eyes widened slightly. He knew that the immortal had had a partner before, but in his opinion, the immortal was supreme, and no one in heaven and earth could be worthy of him.
If you name the three names of immortals yourself, the other party will definitely not admit them wrong.
He asked: "Is your husband the immortal Li Changsheng?"
“Of course.” Wei Xi nodded, with a bit of pride in his expression.
Following that, Xu Zhongxian asked again: "Are you the Lord of Taiyin Star?"
When Taiyin Xingjun died, Xu Zhongxian was not yet born, but this did not prevent him from understanding the immortal Taoist couple.
Wei Xi's expression suddenly turned black as the bottom of a pot, and he kicked Xu Zhongxian out. The latter subconsciously wanted to dodge, but Wei Xi's strength was completely beyond his expectation.
With a loud noise, a big hole was smashed into the wall.
After a period of commotion, Xu Zhongxian made his intention clear and explained all the causes and consequences.
What he saw was not Wei Xi's solemn expression or panic, but on the contrary, extremely calm.
After all, Wei Xi has been with Li Yi for several years and knows the strength of her husband, while Xu Zhongxian is still in his previous life.
Xu Zhongxian said: "I wonder if I can see the immortal?"
Wei Xi thought for a moment, turned around and threw the person to Qingxuan.
Since your husband won’t care about it, it’s better to leave it to Qingxuan directly.
Another day passed and passed several times.
Xu Zhongxian came to Shangqing Palace and finally met Qingxuan. The two briefly introduced their identities.
When he asked about the counterattack in the Western Region, Qingxuan drank tea and shook his head with a smile: "You might as well go find the flying general. The immortal chief will not harm mortals for such reasons."
"But it's not impossible if you want to see the Immortal. There will be a birthday in three days, and you can take this opportunity to go. The other time periods will have to wait until next week. Go to the Sword Immortal Association now and chop you down."
Qingxuan calculated with his fingers that today is the day of the Sword Immortal.
Xian Chang arranges his time clearly and seems very busy, but he should be enjoying it.
