Chapter 1071 The Big Hole Dug by Lin Su
There seemed to be a gleam of light in Ming Tianyan's eyes: "History always repeats itself. Thousands of years ago, the Temple also reached a consensus and facilitated the Western Expedition. However, the changes in the middle still make me worried today. Do you think it will happen..."
Her voice stopped abruptly.
Because she didn't want to say this.
The Western Expedition was imminent and the curtain was about to be raised. She didn't want to add any shadow to this great change...
Lin Su smiled softly: "Are you worried about the eagle?"
"The saints in the other camp are secondary. The key is..."
Lin Su interrupted gently: "Do you really think that eagle is from the other camp?"
Ming Tianyan's body suddenly trembled: "Not the other camp? Which camp is it?"
Lin Su gently pointed upwards...
Ming Tianyan's breathing stopped...
From the triple heaven!
Another traitor!
"How did you determine that?"
"This eagle has the aura of a saint of literature and Taoism. Although it is very faint, I can still capture it!"
Ming Tianyan exhaled softly: "I have also carefully detected it, but I can't catch it at all!"
"It's normal that you can't catch it, because I have already eliminated this energy in advance. Not only you can't catch it, but the saints in the three heavens can't catch it either."
In Ming Tianyan's brain, a level 10 typhoon swept across...
The person who caused the destruction of three thousand Confucian temples outside the Great Wall that day was actually a saint of literature and Taoism of the human race.
In fact, it wasn't that she couldn't accept it in her heart. On the contrary, she could accept it too well. During the 800 years she lived in seclusion in Wuyouju, she often had crazy ideas in this regard.
The Tianhe Tribulation that brought her the greatest pain was actually a targeted breakthrough against the military strategist.
So, is it possible that the one who caused the destruction of the Three Thousand Confucian Temples was also a saint of the human race?
It is entirely possible.
Because the Confucian temple was built in that war zone, it tells the world the stories of military strategists all the time. Those Confucian temples are themselves an integral part of the military strategists' military exploits. The Confucian temple can almost be regarded as a monument erected for the military strategists.
Based on this, the saints of the human race had the original motive to destroy these Confucian temples.
However, her wildest imagination was that the saints in the three heavens were secretly letting them go. She absolutely could not imagine that it was the saint of literature and Taoism who destroyed them personally.
If he was letting someone off the hook in secret, then this saint was just narrow-minded and would do anything for the sake of fighting for the truth.
But if you take direct action, the nature of the situation changes completely.
Then this saint must be a devil!
He is the same type of person as Fengya, who is afraid that the human race will not be in chaos!
Thousands of thoughts flowed through Ming Tianyan's brain, turning into one sentence: "You entered the Palace Master's Hall today, intentionally exposing this eagle, but you concealed the Taoist spirit on it. What is your intention?"
Lin Su smiled: "Of course it's digging a hole!"
"Digging a pit? Digging a pit..." Ming Tianyan pondered for a long time: "You have already made it clear that this is digging a pit. I have also seen all your actions today, but I still don't see where your pit is."
"If a trap is so easy to find, it's not a trap!" Lin Su smiled obnoxiously while holding the teacup...
Ming Tianyan gritted his teeth and said, "Hurry up and tell me, what is the secret? I absolutely will not admit that I am a fool. I cannot accept that you treat me as a fool..."
"How can you be stupid? You are smarter than most people!" Lin Su coaxed her, then smiled gently and began to explain...
Today's action is a pitfall.
Who is being tricked?
That eagle!
That eagle has the sacred power of literature and Taoism, and is a saint of the human race, and must be one of the three heavens.
But this person is extremely cunning and will never be exposed easily.
How to do it?
Create a huge crisis for him...
Tell him that the Zhou Tian Mirror has a way to lock him through this energy, but the prerequisite is to find the Phantom Spirit Root first.
The Zhoutian Mirror cannot lock onto this saint at present, because although the Zhoutian Mirror is of high level, its origin is insufficient at this stage, and it cannot surpass the saint level, so it is impossible to lock onto this saint at all.
If you find the phantom spiritual root and condense this illusory energy into a visible drop of spiritual dew, the energy will be highly condensed and then used to locate it by the Zhoutian Mirror. The possibility of the Zhoutian Mirror finding him will greatly increase.
The phantom spirit root was born in the place where the way of heaven was born and died. This knowledge was recorded in the ancient book "Nine Lands of Heaven and Wasteland".
All three of the above are true.
It's not true, and there's no way it could fool a saint who has absolutely profound knowledge.
Therefore, the trap that Lin Su set was not to lie to others, but to make the following deductions...
How to deduce later?
From the perspective of the traitor, how would he deal with the current problem?
He knew clearly that as long as Lin Su found his phantom root, he would be in great danger and would suffer the same fate as Feng Ya in an instant. Naturally, he would not sit idly by and wait for death.
He had two options. One was to kill Lin Su and destroy the Zhoutian Mirror.
However, this path is not feasible, because of Lin Su Tiandao's power as a quasi-saint, coupled with his thrilling achievements in the path of cultivation, and his almost endless trump cards, and being tied to the military saint, it is enough to make it impossible for any saint to kill him, at least not in one blow.
Then, that person has only one way to go, which is to search everywhere for the phantom root.
Once found, if he destroys the phantom root first, he can also be saved.
So, can he find the phantom root?
Under normal circumstances, they cannot be found at all, because the phantom spiritual roots exist in the places where the heavenly way is born and dies. How can there be so many places where the heavenly way is born and dies?
In the eyes of the public, there are only two places where the way of heaven is born and destroyed, and one of them is the deepest part of the Wuxin Sea.
The second is outside the Tianwai Tianguan City.
Let’s not talk about the Wuxin Sea. Lin Su has no plans to enter the Wuxin Sea at this stage, and those who have entered the Wuxin Sea basically never come back.
Then, the only place left is outside Tianwai Tianguan City.
Can he find the phantom root there?
can!
Why?
Because this is a trap set by Lin Su...
A series of extremely powerful shock waves entered Ming Tianyan's mind. Ming Tianyan's brain was definitely not stupid, but in a moment he was also shocked to the point of being burnt on the outside and tender on the inside...
After a long while, she exhaled softly, "Such a big plan, and you didn't even tell me half a minute in advance."
"Not telling you was also part of the strategy."
"Why?"
"Because any expression you and I show in the hall today will be seen by the saint. I need you to be surprised and confused at the right time. If you knew about this plan in advance, I am not sure whether your acting skills can be perfect."
Because they were worried that her acting skills were not good enough and her body language would reveal the secret, hiding it from her was also part of the strategy.
Ming Tianyan was truly speechless...
Lin Su reached out his hand and gently hugged her waist: "This opponent is a real master. I don't look down on anyone above the Third Heaven, so we must strive for perfection in every step. Even when facing you, my wife, I will occasionally have some reservations."
Ming Tianyan rolled his eyes and said, "I am not a young and inexperienced child. I don't need you to coax me without any bottom line. Take back your 'wife' who is obviously a scam."
"Okay! I'll take you back!" Lin Su picked up Ming Tianyan and pushed her onto the bed next to him...
Ming Tianyan was anxious: "I said I want you to take back your words, not to take my person... This is Wuyouju..."
"Wife, you understand Wuyou..."
"You are not Wuyou, you are shameless... um..."
Something indescribable...
The mosaics on the bed quietly bloom in the worry-free residence...
Two hours later, Lin Su walked out of Wuyouju feeling refreshed. Dayan took a step and disappeared into thin air.
Ming Tianyan has a certain degree of doubt about life in bed...
She sat up slowly and stretched out her hand. A bamboo flower fell into her palm. This bamboo flower was almost transparent before, but now for some reason, it seemed to have a wisp of colorful lace, and a hint of red glow could be seen between the veins of the leaves.
"My Worry-Free Realm has completely changed. My 800 years of peace and tranquility have become nothing now..." Ming Tianyan wanted to cry but had no tears...
The wheel of time turns slowly and steadily.
One day, two days and three days!
In the temple, a word was spread silently, causing an invisible wave. This word was "Western Expedition"!
Palace Master Zhang Weikong had just taken office and the overall structure of the temple had just taken shape when Lin Su entered the Palace Master's Hall and proposed a term that made the entire temple excited, called "Western Expedition"!
The listeners have different attitudes...
Some people say, yes! Why? Because the Wuxin catastrophe is about to happen. If we don't march west, the frontier of the foreign invasion war will be in Zangzhou. What level of battle is this? The storm will sweep thousands of miles away, and Zangzhou will definitely be crippled. For the sake of the livelihood of hundreds of millions of people in Zangzhou, the defense line should be pushed to Wuxin Sea.
By that time, it would not be the Burial State that would be crippled, but the 100,000-li Demon Realm. In this 100,000-li Demon Realm, there are no normal humans at all, so let them be crippled...
Some people even said, is this all you see?
If the outside of the city is not cleared and foreigners invade, the demons outside the city will immediately transform into foreign lackeys and serve as foreign pioneers, cooperating with their connections inside the city, and the harm caused will be enough to subvert the seven countries and thirteen states...
This is a voice of approval.
Of course, there are also voices of opposition, and the reason for opposition is: War is dangerous, and the sage said that war should be used only when necessary. At present, the situation inside and outside the city is still balanced, stable and peaceful. Why must it be broken? Unintentional catastrophe is just an illusion.
Some even said that the demons outside the city gate were also the creatures of this heavenly way. The people from other worlds broke through the boundary and entered. In theory, they were the first resistance force. Why did they have to be destroyed? The saints said that all things can be educated. If we can educate them with the saintly way and let them contribute to this heavenly way, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
These, whether naive, numb, or self-righteous, are, after all, voices of disapproval.
In addition to these two opposing voices, there are many more people who take the middle path...
On the one hand, they agreed with the Western Expedition, but on the other hand, they disagreed with the dominance of the Temple.
The Temple should still remain aloof, with the main goal of guarding against the outside world. The affairs of the world below should be decided by themselves, and if they want to send troops to the west, they should do so.
As for the bounty, more than 90% of people disagree.
They obtained their literary positions by either passing five examinations or beating six generals, or by being in the Holy Family and enjoying the treatment of the Holy Family. They looked down on those cultivators and warriors from the bottom of their hearts. Now this bounty order says that military merits can be exchanged for literary treasures? Or even for literary positions? Doesn't that mean that cultivators also have the opportunity to become literary masters like them?
How can the self-proclaimed noble scholars tolerate this?
These are just ordinary people's thoughts.
The thoughts of the Palace Master, the elders, and the saints in the Three Heavens became more profound. They saw the essence through the phenomenon and caught the special meaning of "Military Dao is Supreme" behind the bounty order. All of them had gloomy faces.
Even his most trusted military saint had a conflicted look on his face.
The chess master opposite him gently lifted up the teacup and smiled softly: "Does Bing Zun feel like he is being roasted on the fire?"
The Soldier Saint's face relaxed slightly: "Indeed, there is."
The chess master said, "In the art of chess, there is a saying that one should use advances to plan retreats. This master believes that when he issued this bounty order, he should have known that it is absolutely not feasible at this moment. He probably only wants the Western Expedition itself. The bounty order is just a stepping stone for compromise that he prepared for you and me."
The Sage of Soldiers sighed softly, "Of course, I understand this, but this bounty order will have to be used sooner or later in the future! I am worried about when that day will come."
The chess master slowly raised his eyes and said, "Three years, only three years! There are still two major difficulties in the meantime. Time is extremely tight. We, the old saint, cannot put all the burdens on his shoulders alone. We should do something!"
The Sage of Soldiers also slowly raised his eyes and stared at the Sage of Chess...
The Saint of Chess said: "Before coming to your military capital, I have already met with the seven saints of Yin Yang, Mohism, Taoism, Agriculture, History, Logic, and Medicine. You must know the situation of these seven saints..."
These seven saints are the seven people who were the first to recognize Zhang Weikong on the Tiandao Platform when Zhang Weikong entered the holy temple. Together with the two of them, they make the Nine Saints.
Among the seventeen saints of the Three Heavens, according to the principle of minority obeying the majority, nine saints supported Zhang Weikong. It made no sense whether the remaining saints supported or not. So, after the nine of them expressed their support for Zhang Weikong, the Confucian saint immediately followed suit and expressed his support.
The other saints behind the Confucian saint also supported it.
It seems that Zhang Weikong entered the temple with an absolute score of 17 to 0, but in fact, it was these nine saints who played a key role.
The eight saints who came after simply took advantage of the situation and displayed their noble character when they knew they could not stop it.
Looking through the phenomenon to the essence, these nine saints are the forces on the side of the Saint of War. However, things are not absolute, and it is not ruled out that some saints are just discussing the matter at hand and do not take sides. For example, the Saint of History, the Saint of Celebrity and the Saint of Medicine, the view they have always held is: do not get involved in disputes over the Tao, but discuss the Tao based on the facts.
The reason they stood up has nothing to do with taking sides, but only with their own identification with the Holy Path.
The former hall master Cao Xiangdao was in a mess after being cleansed by the Holy Dao, and his Dao was so terrible that they refused to recognize him.
Zhang Weikong's heart was cleansed by the Holy Dao, and he was free from dust. He won their approval. They simply discussed the matter and the person...
The chess master ended with this sentence: "So, Bing Zun, you must understand that the saints who truly stand on the same path with you and me are currently only Yin Yang, Mo, and Nong!"
"Dao Zun...what is your position?" asked the Military Saint.
"The Taoist Master entered the realm of sainthood earlier than the Confucian Master. In fact, he has the most reason to oppose the dominance of the Confucian Master. However, Taoism is still too bland... The three saints of history, fame, and medicine may be more concerned with avoiding disputes, while the Taoist Master is probably really not interested in participating in disputes. Therefore, for now, we can only classify him as a neutral saint who 'discusses the Taoism based on the facts'."
"A fight for the Dao, in fact, why would this Saint want to participate? It's just that the affairs of the world cannot allow me to retreat. What I am fighting for is not the Dao, but the lives of hundreds of billions of people, and the last ray of hope for this world!"
The Chess Saint smiled softly: "Soldier Lord's words make me feel ashamed. My vision is still a little small."
The Sage of Soldiers said, "Master Yi, please don't say that. These days, you have been lobbying the Three Heavens, personally ordered the replacement of the Palace Master of Yi Palace, and took the lead in breaking the thousand-year-old stubborn problem of 'one sect, one family'. I admire your vision and pattern."
"Since we are on the same path, we should behave like we are on the same path. Putting aside the millennium-long entanglement between us, we have gone from enemies to friends. Just considering the fact that we have one path and one surname, it has indeed hindered the advancement of the Holy Path. It is indeed the biggest shackle and malpractice of the Holy Path. This Saint may seem to be responding to your call, but in fact, it is precisely for the bright future of the Way of Chess!" Saint of Chess said, "The three Saints, Nong, Mo, and Yin Yang, also understand this. Because they have a desire for reform, they have stood up without hesitation to support the new situation of the Holy Temple under the leadership of Zhang Weikong."
It turns out...
Although saints are human beings and have selfish desires, not every saint puts selfishness first.
For example, the three saints Nong, Mo, and Yin Yang, in the past they followed the crowd, but now the Saint of War has directly removed the fig leaf, and they can also realize their own "shame", know the shame and then be brave, and work hard to change.
Luo Wuxin asserted that day that the Military Saint would push all the saints to the opposite side by lifting the fig leaf, but he underestimated the saint's vision.
Not all saints are like this.
A few saints finally broke free from the shackles of humanity and faced the broader "realm of Tao".
This also confirms Lin Su’s judgment on that day: making the bottom line clear will attract true like-minded people!
At present, there won’t be too many like-minded people, but they will be extremely capable!
Ming Tianyan guessed that the temple would absorb many geniuses who were being suppressed, such as Luo Wuxin.
It turns out that her vision is also low.
The people absorbed in the first stage turned out to be several saints.
However, Luo Wuxin, who she ranked first in recruiting, unexpectedly went beyond her expectations.
This can only be said that human nature is too complicated and the world is too unpredictable.
……
Lin Su's suggestion in the Temple Master's Hall caused a stir in the Three Heavens and the entire temple.
And what about him?
After causing this disturbance, he returned to Changxingju.
Entered the back garden.
In the back garden, there is a special small garden, which is Yaogu’s real world.
There are three or five vegetable gardens, a bamboo forest covering a hillside, and three or two thatched huts.
That's it.
After Lin Su came in, he seemed to have let go of everything and seemed to have returned to the outskirts of Nanshan City in the past.
He would drink tea with Yao Gu, chat with her, and in the afternoon, he would still lie on the familiar recliner, and Yao Gu would still take out her very old wooden comb to comb his hair.
Everything is so harmonious.
Qingxiang, the head maid of the Lin residence, saw this scene through the garden gate, and her heart was a little fluttering...
People always have to have dreams.
For example, Qingxiang's dream was that the head of the family would be in a good mood one day and hold the two big balls in front of her that she was proud of in his hands. However, one or two years passed like this, and the scene she had been dreaming about never came.
She was excited, and every time she felt the master's eyes focused on her, she always felt that this scene was just around the corner.
However, after the excitement, she felt frustrated because she found that every woman who appeared in Changxing Curie was so stunning.
She is a beauty with a hint of mystery in her beauty.
Mo Qing, driving her huge steel boat, is unique.
The song that Feng Ji, the head of the first palace, sang that night in perfect harmony with the master of the house, and it seems to still echo in the garden today.
Even if it is not a human poem, the fragrance of books still has a unique charm.
Li Guihan was even more outrageous. Not only was she at the quasi-saint level, not only was she a beauty, her breasts were actually no smaller than Qingxiang's. Even Qingxiang's only advantage pales in comparison to her. This was really discouraging...
Qingxiang had been hit many times, and the frustration had suppressed her colorful thoughts. However, the arrival of Yaogu gave her something called confidence...
Yaogu, you are really not pretty.
No matter whether you look at her sideways or straight, Qingxiang feels that she is not as pretty as herself. Her breasts are several levels smaller than hers. But the head of the family happens to be unusually close to this woman.
Let her build a garden in her own garden, keep the thatched cottage and the reclining chair. The owner of the house lies on this reclining chair all day, and Yao Gu combs his hair. The two occasionally make eye contact, and they can feel the intimacy even from a distance of eight feet...
Yao Gu has the opportunity, why shouldn’t I have it?
The passion for fragrance is a bit overflowing...
But she would never have thought...
Even Li Guihan, who occasionally visited and looked at the garden with resentful eyes, would not have thought of it. No one in the temple would have thought of it...
There is actually no Lin Su in the garden!
The Lin Su who was lying on the recliner and having his hair tenderly combed by Yao Gu was a product of the Wen Dao Zhen Realm.
Yao Gu cut a Lin Su again and combed her hair in her own garden...
It has been four days since Lin Su entered the temple master's hall.
The sun has lost its former brightness, and the sky is covered with thick clouds.
Thunder and lightning.
There are countless ways to block out all things in nature in the temple, but people in the temple do not block out all things in nature, because nature is also Tao.
Outside the pass, there were also lightning and thunder.
The summer rainstorms came suddenly.
In the wild wind, with a late spring chill...
Thousands of miles away in a foreign land, clouds roll in the sky, and raging waves rise by the river...
The river waves rolled over layer by layer, and turned back suddenly under a mountain peak, stirring up countless white waves...
This mountain is Juedao Mountain.
Yes, it was the first time that Lin Su traveled to the foreign land of Juedao Mountain.
In Juedao Mountain, there are no strong winds, no heavy rains, only eternal and unchanging tranquility.
The power of rules on the mountain interprets all natural phenomena. On the top of the mountain, the power of laws interprets all natural phenomena and even supernatural visions.
The once extremely mysterious "Eye of Heaven" has disappeared.
Some people say that this is a sign of changes in the way of heaven.
Now the omen seems to be coming true.
After the disappearance of the Eye of Heaven, an unprecedented event occurred in the foreign land. Half of the sixty-nine saints died.
Isn’t this a sign from heaven?
No one knows the real reason for the great changes in heaven and earth. Perhaps only saints know, but saints will not tell it, because each saint is not very glorious. In order to hunt for the sainthood of other saints, they personally created the tragedy of "saints cut in half" in this world. Who would publicize it?
Some people also say that the sudden disappearance of the Eye of Heaven actually represents the birth and death of Heaven.
