Chapter 41: The Future of the Past

The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the rare good weather in winter, Li Ye led everyone north to Liangzhou.

Although the land west of the river was initially decided, Li Ye was not worried about the post-war pacification of the people and the reconstruction of order. He has done too many of these things, and he will repeat them every time he lays down a piece of territory, with Li Zhen and Cui Keli in charge of political affairs in Chang'an, the civil officials and garrisons that should be in place will be in place immediately.

Above the Immortal Domain, the army of the Immortal Emperor, the Demon Clan, and the Tongtian Tribe, have begun to set up relative formations, and the battle will start soon.

At this time, Li Ye took advantage of the concerted efforts of all the people triggered by the recovery of the twelve states of Hexi, and had successfully promoted to the Golden Immortal Realm, and he was naturally not afraid of the Immortal War.

Now, taking advantage of the slightest time before the battle began, if he can recover the entire territory of Hexi and "join forces" with the Guiyi Army, Li Ye will not give up the fight.

King Qi did not return to Chang'an, on the one hand, the report of the Tsing Yi Yamen showed that Wang Jian did not have the strength and signs of going east - he had just lost hundreds of thousands of troops in the Central Plains, and he did not have this strength; on the other hand, Li Ye had to be ready at any time to transfer his cultivation strength to the Immortal Realm, so King Qi was by his side, and his safety would be guaranteed.

Although, asking a woman to protect this kind of thing and saying it will damage the face of the husband, if this woman is the domineering King Qi, Li Ye will not have a psychological barrier. It's all brothers, it's too much to talk about.

When King Qi learned about this, he was very happy and slapped his chest with a muffled sound, saying that King An should rest assured that she would never let King An miss anything. Her posture showed that she had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and she couldn't wait to prove that she definitely had the strength to be relied on in front of King An.

When King Qi patted his chest, the reason why it was muffled rather than thumping was exquisite.

Only a woman without breasts can slap her chest with a bang. Because, they're going to get a picture of the sternum. Don't believe it, if you try to shoot a balloon, can you make it loud?

On this trip to the north, King Qi was the happiest, the one with the highest interest, from time to time swept the eyes of the eldest young commander, and made a few strange tones of humming, a copy of the glory of the king who was ordered to be heavier than the sky, and the tip of his nose was eager to go to the sky.

Regarding the arrogance of King Qi, the eldest young commander naturally would not protest, after all, the other party is the king, the strength is there, and there is also a show of power.

Only when King Qi doesn't look at them will the two of them get together and grit their teeth with the same hatred. Didn't you see that the great priest was about to crush Bai Lian, if it was not Bai Lian in his hand, but King Qi, it is estimated that the appearance would be even more miserable.

In the past few days, seeing that King Qi and King An are getting closer and closer, Shao Siming has a sense of crisis, and when there is no one in private, he has already plucked Da Si Ming more than once and asked her to correct King An's orientation.

Shao Siming thinks that he has been with King An for too long, and as a normal man, it is possible that King An is bored.

Da Si Ming is different, he has not recommended himself for a pillow seat, and the temperament of the two is different, he has eaten a lot of light vegetables, and he will definitely be interested in changing the plate of delicious meat, and maybe, he will be able to return King An to his normal orientation.

In this regard, Da Si Ming can naturally only be ashamed, and the way she shows her shame is to twist Shao Si Ming's little arm into a blue and purple piece. This made Shao Siming painful and disappointed, and often complained that Da Si Ming did not care about the overall situation, and said that if King An's orientation changed completely, it would be a national event, which was very serious!

Regarding the small struggle between Da Shao Siming and King Qi, Li Ye thinks that he is only suitable for being an audience, and it is good to watch it. As for the matter of proving his innocence, Li Ye disdains to do it, as a great monk, he must be like a water, look down on the ebb and flow of the tide, the clouds and clouds, and find pleasures that others can't discover.

There is no time to follow Li Ye's side. Jiankong and Jianchen were ordered by him to return to Liangzhou first, convey his and King An's will to Shimen, and rectify the style, and strive to appear with a new look to welcome King An's visit.

"In the previous years, the conflict between the Plateau Liberation Gate and the Moon God Sect led to civil strife in Tibet, a war between the nobility and slaves, and a weakening of their control over the land, resulting in not only the rise of the Guiyi army, but also the invasion of the Uighurs into the Western Regions and the seizure of territory originally occupied by Tibet. ”

Wu Wu tried his best to explain the situation in Hexi and the Western Regions to Li Ye, "Now, the Guiyi army has been attacked by the Uighurs, and can only control the two states of Sha and Gua, and the situation is actually very critical. But now that King An is here, they will also be liberated. ”

Li Ye scoffed at the empty and targeted explanation, and lightly corrected: "In the land of the Western Regions, the Tibetans have been fighting with the Uighurs for many years, and you are not angry, if you are not busy fighting with the Luna God Sect, those places will be occupied by the Uighurs?"

"In the final analysis, the hometown of the four towns of Anxi is the territory of my Datang, even if you occupy it temporarily, you are just a passerby. Not to mention anything else, when the two sides of Khotan were fighting, they took the opportunity to become independent, and now isn't the Tang style prevalent? There is a great tendency to restore the Anxi Protectorate. Their lord claimed to be surnamed Li. ”

Wukong was stunned, he didn't expect that Li Ye was far away in the Central Plains, and he had been busy sweeping away the princes all these years, and he knew so much about the situation in the Western Regions.

Shocked in his heart, he remembered that during the Battle of Hexi, those lurking Tsing Yi Yamen swordsmen sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, giving the Moon God Sect a major blow, and he was full of awe, so he didn't dare to say anything nonsense.

Of course, Li Ye will not tell Wukong, according to the original history, one or two decades later, Zhu Wen in the Central Plains succeeded in usurping the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty fell, and the Later Liang was established, but the Khotanese State in the Western Regions produced a famous lord, claiming to be a descendant of Li Tang, and also gave himself a Li name.

This is the famous Li Shengtian.

When Islam spread eastward, Li Shengtian led the army and people of Khotan and fought a bloody war with them for many years. Because Khotan believed in Shimen, it was also the last elegy of Shimen in the Western Regions. After the war, although the Khotanese people were defeated and moved eastward, it was also a history that can be sung and cried.

Speaking of which, it was the only battle in which Shi Men and Li Tang were truly one, and they fought against the alien army.

Now, it is time for the Khotanese ruler to actively contact the Guiyi army to fight against the Uighurs and the Uighurs' Ming religion, that is, Manichaeism.

Mingjiao originated in Persia, that is, the group of people who now believe in Islam.

After being introduced to Dongtu, the Ming religion preferred to rebel, and opposing the imperial court was their daily routine. Before Li Ye crossed, among the martial arts he had seen on the earth, there was a story of Mingjiao helping Zhu Yuanzhang establish the Ming Dynasty, and it also explained that the "Ming" of the dynasty had the meaning of commemorating Mingjiao.

This is, of course, a joke.

But Mingjiao is indeed this Mingjiao. The famous White Lotus Sect in the Ming and Qing dynasties was the product of their integration with the Maitreya Sect and the White Lotus Society.

Nowadays, there are also Mingjiao forces in the Tang Dynasty, but they are all fireflies, and they can't be compared with Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Even if there is a feudal town that is their sphere of influence, they don't have much power now.

Datang is Li Ye's Datang, this kind of small fish and shrimp, Li Ye is too lazy to look at them, it's not that Li Ye is careless and arrogant, it's really not worth it.

The current followers of Mingjiao are mainly Uighurs. The sectarian struggle failed, and Persia had long been deprived of their survival soil, just as Shimen was about to be driven out of Tianzhu.

The most prominent representative of civilization is undoubtedly religion.

Where religion goes, the people will eventually become religious people, living like this civilization under this civilization.

These sects in the west have been spreading eastward and have always existed in China.

And the end point of the Tang Dynasty's westward spread of Han civilization is the four towns of Anxi and the dozens of prefectures. After the Battle of Hengros, the westward spread of Han civilization came to an end. It's not just that it was suspended in Datang, it was terminated all the time.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once said that he wanted to let the Han civilization cross the Great Wall and spread far away.

Takami!

So the army of the Han Dynasty conquered the farthest they could. Therefore, Chen Tang, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, dared to say: "Those who commit a strong man will be punished even if they are far away!"

But then again, under the Han civilization, there really was no religion that could represent it. The Daomen is not qualified, the Tang Dynasty Shimen is even less qualified, and the Confucianism seems to be a little more qualified, but in terms of Confucianism alone, it is actually the most unqualified, unless they no longer shout that the sword soldiers enter Kuma and put Nanshan.

Compared with the style of other sects in the world that invaded like fire and expanded to death, several sects under the Han civilization were too moderate and conservative. If this continues, sooner or later it will come to the path of resting on its laurels, and it is not at all something that a few heroic kings can change.

When mountains, deserts, seas and other geographical advantages cannot be defeated, the gradually softening Han civilization can entertain itself in the eastern land, once the strength of other civilizations and sects is strong enough to conquer the mountains, deserts, and seas, their unreasonable aggressiveness will bring nearly devastating disasters to the Han civilization.

Li Ye believes that he has to reverse this dilemma.

Survival is the first priority of civilization. How to survive in the face of a strong enemy is the biggest question that civilization needs to consider.

As a traverser, having seen the development of that kind of historical inevitability, Li Ye felt that he had this obligation.

Otherwise, even if he restored the territory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, future generations would still lose it after all.

The only answer he could think of at the moment, the only answer he could get from the experience of other civilizations and sects, was to maintain the expansive and combative nature of civilization. Only by constantly expanding, constantly fighting, and constantly merging, in the process, learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and constantly becoming stronger, can we avoid extinction.

Guoheng perished with weakness, while Han Du perished with strength.

Dynasties will die because they fight, they will die because they are strong, but what does it matter, civilization will not die. Dynasties will eventually change, and as long as civilization does not die, glory will eventually be re-established.

Han is dead, isn't there still Tang?

Rome is also dead, and there are not so many glorious empires behind it?

When a strong civilization dies, the glory will really disappear.

In the final analysis, the survival of civilization, like all problems of survival, is like sailing against the current, and if you do not advance, you will retreat.

This is a relatively long-term problem, and Li Ye decided to think about it carefully in the future.

At the moment, leaving aside the Uighurs and Mingjiao, Li Ye was more concerned about the Guiyi Army.

The current leader of the Guiyi army, Zhang Huaishen, is Zhang Yichao's nephew, who has repeatedly defeated the Uighurs who invaded from the Western Regions and held Shazhou, and is a heroic figure.

However, this situation did not last long, and it would not be long before he died, and he died unjustly, I heard that he was killed by his own brother.

The reason, of course, is the internal struggle for power.

Now, if conditions permit, Li Ye certainly hopes to change the fate of Zhang Huaishen and the fate of the Guiyi Army.

If he doesn't change, after Zhang Huaishen's death, the leader of the Guiyi Army will break away from the Central Plains and establish the Jinshan Kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty. In that case, it will have to wait until decades later, Cao Yijin, another heroic figure, to take over the scepter of the Guiyi Army and re-enshrine the Central Plains Dynasty as Zhengshuo.

Cao Yijin is a very good man. This name is inexplicably familiar to Li Ye.

But that was useless, after the end of the Tang Dynasty and the fifth dynasty, Zhao and Song were unable to recover Hexi, and the final fate of the Guiyi Army was to be destroyed by Li Yuanhao of Western Xia after hundreds of years of bloody battles.

Now, in Shazhou, the front line of the Guiyi Army's fight against the Uighurs, there are Li Ye's brothers and Li Ye's relatives.

Li Ye said to Wukong: "I have always had a question, can you really represent the Liberation Gate? Although the Plateau Liberation Gate is not large, it also controls the plateau, the Western Regions, and the western half of Hexi. Judging from the current situation, when the Datang Liberation Gate has no sound and the Tianzhu Liberation Gate is about to perish, your Plateau Liberation Gate is the last hope for the entire Liberation Gate, right?

Wukong clasped his hands together, lowered his eyebrows, proclaimed a Buddha name, and said: "Master Feihong said that the cause planted earlier will eventually bear fruit later. As long as King An is here, the future will come after all. ”

Li Ye was stunned.

It had been a long time since he had heard from Flying Hung Dashi.

After the Battle of Hedong, Feihong returned to the Buddha Domain, and Li Ye could certainly speculate that her situation would not be too good after she returned.

But she didn't expect that she could still order the disciples of the Liberation Sect.

Li Ye asked, "The Holy Buddha has no other instructions?"

Wukong became more and more pious, and said, "The Holy Buddha said that the causes planted earlier will eventually bear fruit later. As long as King An is here, the future will come after all. ”

This time Li Ye was stunned.

Obviously, the Holy Buddha would not say the same words as Fei Hong, at least, not word for word.

Therefore, the meaning of emptiness is that Fei Hung Dashi will become a holy Buddha!

Fei Hung wants to rebel!

If the word "rebellion" applies to her.

In an instant, Li Ye understood that this trip to Liangzhou was not as easy as he thought before.

Fei Hung Dashi and the Holy Buddha are fighting against each other, in fact, it is a war!

In this war within the Liberation Gate and the Buddha Domain, Li Ye is already a person on the battlefield.

Fei Hong's actions undoubtedly show that the Holy Buddha does not agree to live in harmony with Li Ye.

Whether to coexist and prosper with Li Ye, or to fight with Li Ye to the end, are the two banners of the war between Feihong Dashi and the Holy Buddha.

As a person involved in this war, Li Ye is well aware of his role. He and Fei Hong are undoubtedly grasshoppers on a rope. It can be said that Feihong is helping Li Ye, and it can also be said that Li Ye is helping Feihong.

At this moment, Li Ye instantly understood why Feihong Dashi wanted to release water to him during the Battle of Hedong!

For the existence of Feihong Dashi, she helped Li Ye in disguise in Hedong, and it was definitely not because she was lonely and bored, so she fell in love with the extraordinary Li Ye.

In other words, she fell in love with Li Ye's extraordinary, but what she produced was not the affection of children, but the judgment and belief in the future!

From that time on, Fei Hung believed that Li Ye would eventually pacify the heroes in the Tang Dynasty, and go to Hexi, to the plateau, to Hexi, and to the Liberation Gate in need of the future!

The Buddha said that he can see the past, the present, and the future.

So, it's no surprise that Flying Hung can see this.

But Li Ye knows that this is not Feihong's ability to break through the future, but his analysis of the situation is just right. All the ability to break through the future comes from an accurate understanding of the present. When Feihong was in Hedong, he thought that Li Ye would become the future of Shimen!

This is not without purpose, when Li Ye attacked Hedong, he had Quanzhenguan under his command, he could allow Daomen to survive under him, as long as Shimen was willing to change, he could naturally exist under his wings.

When Li Ye attacked Hedong, his subordinates were like rain of strategists and fierce generals, and the elite soldiers were very elite, and it could be seen that they had been carefully managed for many years, so it was not so unimaginable that he could pacify the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, Feihong saw Li Ye's present, and he was able to gain insight into Li Ye's past, and he predicted Li Ye's future.

Therefore, Feihong Dashi sees that Datang is the future of Shimen!

The future of Shimen can only exist in Datang!

This also means that Feihong Dashi has long believed that the Holy Buddha cannot win against the true God Allah, and the Liberation Gate cannot defend Tianzhu, or even the Western Regions.

So when he was in Hedong, Feihong Dashi released water to Li Ye, which was regarded as a good fate.

Therefore, Li Ye went to Hexi, and Feihong Dashi asked him to take the initiative to meet and join him, which was the second good fate.

In order to allow Li Ye to be able to survive in Datang in the future, he will be able to give Shimen a soil for survival.

If Li Ye knew what Feihong said to Manjushri, he would understand that the "general trend" in Feihong's mouth was actually referring to him!

He is the general trend of the world.

Only those who follow it will have a chance to survive.

Thinking of these in a flash, Li Ye didn't know what kind of expression he should have, so he could only show a helpless smile and say to himself: "Tuas trusts me so much, but I'm embarrassed to let you." ”

Unconsciously, it's a little bit of pride, hehe.

Looking at Liangzhou from afar, Li Ye gradually recovered his heart and began to think about the situation he would face next.

There is no doubt that there will be a big war in Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, and even Shazhou and Guazhou. A great war broke out from within the Liberation Gate, with Fei Hong and the Holy Buddha as the commanders of the two armies, and swept all the living beings that exist in this land.

As Feihong's greatest reliance in the mortal world, the burden on Li Ye's shoulders is not light.

It's really interesting, the Daomen Immortal Court is now in a fierce civil war, and it seems that the Shimen Buddha Domain is not exempt from vulgarity.

Li Ye shook his sleeves, held his belt and looked at the western sky, and said meaningfully: "Dashi, Dashi, don't you be slapped to death by the Holy Buddha." You want me to help you calm down and unify the mortal Buddha, and with the help of the power of the mortal Buddha's followers, you have to fight against the Holy Buddha, at least until I can do this. It would be absurd if you fell early. ”

Buddha Domain.

Manjushri went and returned, and came to the shrine again, staring at the ethereal and vague figure in the crystal ball.

This time, she didn't lean forward and carefully observe the people inside, and there was no sympathy or pity in her eyes, only the sharpness of killing decisively.

Manjushri's voice was as cold and hard as a stone, "Feihong, the Holy Buddha already knows what you have done, and he asked me to come and knock you down to the Infernal Hell and deprive you of your cultivation. In this crystal ball, you don't have any room to resist. ”

Speaking of this, Manjushri finally sighed, folded his hands, and said, "The sea of suffering is boundless, and if you repent now, I can make my own decisions, suspend the execution of the Holy Buddha's orders, and give you a chance to intercede with the Holy Buddha." ”

In the crystal ball, the voice of Feihong Master came out, Gu Bo was not shocked, the wind was light, but she was sure and powerful, she said: "With these words, it is enough for you to share the future with Shimen." ”

Manjushri was stunned, almost thinking that Master Feihong was talking nonsense, so he frowned and said, "This crystal ball is maintained by the power of the Holy Buddha himself, you entered it voluntarily to be punished, and it is impossible to get out of it." You're about to die, and you're talking about the future."

Before she could finish her words, she stopped abruptly, as if someone had choked her.

The crystal ball in front of him was cracked inch by inch.

In the intervening time, the crystal ball shattered and became a pile of waste in front of Manjushri.

Fei Hong, who was dressed in white and had no robe, stood in front of her again, his eyebrows were calm, and there was no sadness or joy.

Manjushri couldn't help but take two steps back, and said in a lost voice: "Feihong, you, you"

Feihong Dashi is light-hearted, obviously holy and pure, but he has the charm of turning sentient beings upside down, "If I go in voluntarily, I can naturally come out by myself." ”

This light smile like a flowing cloud contains a sense of banter.

Manjushri still shook his head: "Impossible, this is impossible! Even if you keep your hands behind, but after all, this is a small world maintained by the power of the Holy Buddha, and you can't have the power to defeat the Holy Buddha!"

Master Feihong sighed lightly, folded his hands, and when he bowed his chin, there was a hint of compassion between his eyebrows, and his originally teasing face had no other meaning except the color of the Bodhisattva, and she said: "Manjushri, don't you understand, the Holy Buddha fought against Allah, not to a draw, but to lose. ”

Manjushri immediately understood that only when the Holy Buddha was severely injured by Allah, seriously injured, and his own strength was not enough, he would not be able to maintain the amount of the crystal ball and continue to suppress the Flying Hung Master.

"Defeated, is the Holy Buddha really defeated?" After saying this, Manjushri had no other words, but could bow his head and recite the Buddha's name, as if this sentence was a great sin.

The Holy Buddha has never been defeated.

All the monks in the Buddha Realm never thought that the Holy Buddha would be defeated.

The reason why a holy Buddha is a holy Buddha is that it should not be defeated.

And now, the facts have shown that he has indeed failed.

Master Feihong didn't pay much attention to Manjushri, and walked towards the gate of the temple, "Manjushri, the Holy Buddha is wrong, wrong again and again. In the autumn of life and death, you should make your choice. ”

Manjushri looked up at Feihong's back, "Choosing to stand with you?"

"Choose to stand with the future. ”
