Chapter Seventy-Two: The Stars

After Zhao Shu and Lin Qin'er met their father-in-law Lin Xiu, they returned to Qinghe Villa, lived in seclusion in Longding Cliff, retreated, and prepared to go south in two days. ≥

When Zhao Shu was in retreat to visit the Jin people, Zhao Hu and others integrated the soldiers of Qinghe Villa and prepared to take them to the southern army.

At the same time, with the help of caravans, coal, liquor, perfume and other commodities were sent to the north, and with the help of trade routes, a large number of guards were familiar with the customs of the sixteen states of Yanyun, familiar with the Great Liao and the Jurchen people, and prepared for the future north.

At the time of retreat, Zhao Shu also pondered the words of Song Huizong, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism have been disputed for a long time, and their respective strengths are also extremely strong. Buddhism is pervasive, establishing a powerful force in the Daxue Mountains, realizing the integration of military and government, and bewitching the miscellaneous beards of the northern grasslands.

These three sects are fighting each other, and no matter whose strength they use to suppress whom, the last faction they rely on will become a new scourge.

The Great Song Dynasty expelled the Tao and Buddha with the help of the power of Confucianism, but now Confucianism has penetrated into all parts of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty has also been transformed by Confucianism according to its own mind, and the consequence of this transformation is redundant soldiers and redundant officials.

The bureaucracy is bloated, the first disaster is a disaster, the redundancy is overflowing, the people are exploited, and the people are not able to make a living. In the selection of scholars, there was a system of grace and shade, and a large number of literati who did not have real talent and real learning entered the officialdom, and even the imperial examination system was full of fraud.

And the most strict thing is that these Confucian gentry do not pay food, but occupy a large amount of land, but the people have no place to stand, so that although the Great Song Dynasty is rich, the court and the people are becoming more and more impoverished.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shu was also bored and abnormal, the Great Song Dynasty lost its majestic style due to Confucianism, but the harm of Buddhism and Taoism was also strict, and his understanding of these three religions was extremely limited.

originally wanted to find out some Confucian things from his father-in-law, but his father-in-law Lin Xiu was bent on historical classics, and he knew very little about other things except some Confucian classics.

This made Zhao Shu a little disappointed, so he temporarily put an end to the matter of listening to Confucianism, but Zhao Ji's words made Zhao Shu think a little about that He Zhu, and I don't know if this great sage is the Confucian sage sent by Confucianism to contact him.

Zhao Shupan sat on the edge of the Longding Cliff, looking at the churning sea of clouds, suppressed all the worries in his heart, and began to concentrate on practicing martial arts, striving to enter the realm of Gangqi as soon as possible, and better manipulate the Jin people, no matter what kind of conspiracy and trickery, as long as he has absolute strength, he can crush a qiē.

Zhao Shu swallowed his vitality, puffed up his inner abdomen, forged his essence and spirit, and prepared to raise the innate realm again, tempering his true qi and turning it into gangqi.

When a true qi spewed out, Zhao Shu's ears moved, and an extremely subtle voice entered his ears.

"Who!"

Zhao Shu's body burst out, he stretched out his hand and pressed it hard, and a burst of true qi shot out, and he reached out to take the Chixiao Sword on his waist.

After entering the palace that day, he did not carry the Chixiao Sword, so as not to cause unnecessary impact, but with the improvement of his strength, the power of the Chixiao Sword was also more powerful.

The bushes shook, and an old man wearing a Taoist robe and long white hair walked out calmly, in good spirits, and a peach wood hairpin gently pulled up the Taoist hairpin.

"Poor Dao Bu Operator to meet His Royal Highness King Wu!"

The Taoist said in a long voice, his words were indifferent and calm, and he had a rare demeanor, which just shocked Zhao Shu's heart, this Longding Cliff was heavily guarded, even the birds couldn't get in, this Taoist person actually walked to his side quietly, what a strong man he should be.

Although he was shocked in his heart, Zhao Shu's face calmed down: "Who are you? You actually disturbed the cultivation of this king, I don't know if it is a capital crime." ”

Zhao Shu said lightly, his body moved slightly, and he put on a vigilant posture, as long as his body moved, he could make a counterattack at any time, summon the golden man, and kill this person in the first time.

"Although His Royal Highness is strong in martial arts and has the protection of the golden man, but the poor Dao is a possessed monk, and he has mastered the secret method, but it is possible to escape. ”

This old man said lightly, walked straight to Zhao Shu, and sat up directly, indicating his harmless state and fearlessness.

Zhao Shu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was more curious, and sat cross-legged, with Chixiao across his knees.

"The Dragon Slaying Emperor Sword, originally borrowed from Liu Bang by the Ancient Dao Sect to let him kill Qin's ancestral dragon, but he didn't expect Liu Bang to be too cunning, and used this sword to kill the Wulong cultivated by the Daomen, condensed the sword with dragon blood, and with the help of Qin's treasure, he re-condensed this sword, with the help of this sword, His Royal Highness should really be able to turn the tide!"

The Taoist looked at the Chixiao Sword on Zhao Shu's knees, and sighed sincerely, which made Zhao Shu even more surprised, he didn't expect the Chixiao Sword to have such a history.

"Your Highness, disaster is not far away!"

The Taoist's words turned around, and his words were amazing, but Zhao Shu laughed and said: "Jianghu tricks, why should Taoists show off, it's in vain!"

Since ancient times, most of the words have been amazing, which has surprised ordinary people and stayed, and when Zhang Junbao saw him for the first time, he made such remarks, which made Zhao Shu feel uneasy.

"Raise your eyes and look around, strong enemies are around, civil strife is endless, external disasters have come, the three religions are fighting, heaven and earth are chess, gods and demons are generals, and the people are sons, isn't it a sign that a catastrophe is not far away!"

Bu Operator chuckled, but his words became sharper and sharper, which made Zhao Shu's heart tremble constantly, his face became solemn, and his figure was slightly straight, revealing a condensed aura: "What does the Taoist teach the king, and what do you want?"

"I am willing to help His Highness drive away the gods and demons, compete in the world, and fulfill his ambitions. ”

The divination operator speaks correctly, revealing domineering and self-confidence.

Feeling this domineering and self-confidence, Zhao Shu's eyes were scorching, and he said coldly: "You are a person from the Ancient Dao Sect, why should this king believe you? What you plan and do must be a sign of chaos in the world." ”

"The poor road flying leopard, and the flying bear live and kill each other, and help each other, the flying bear enters the Northern Emperor, and the flying leopard must choose the Southern Emperor.

His Royal Highness has great talent and great luck, which is worthy of assistance, and His Royal Highness also needs the talent of the poor way, and the poor way does not matter whether it is good or evil, whether it is right or wrong, just for the ambition in the heart, to assist His Highness, to obtain the luck of heaven and earth, to complete the ambition in the heart, and to realize the supreme Dao fruit. ”

"What a big breath!"

Zhao Shu's heart shook, and he believed the words and deeds of the Taoist to a certain extent, such a thing as a saving would not lie, and the words of the flying leopard and the flying bear made Zhao Shu full of doubts about the ancient Daomen, but Zhao Shu was worried that this Daoist was a pawn of the ancient Daomen, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

"His Royal Highness's internal worries are constant, and the Poor Dao Association will first solve His Highness's internal worries, and then serve His Highness. Here, I just hope that His Highness knows what Poor Dao has done in his heart. ”

Bu Operator said lightly, with a strong sense of calm and unfathomable in his tone.

"What a worn?"

Zhao Shu didn't dare to underestimate this person, and he played up all his spirit and divine dao.

"Win the heir!

After Bu Operator said this, he slowly got up and said: "Poor Dao will follow the example of the prince and fish for the prince or the three kings, so that His Royal Highness can calm the chaos with peace of mind and accumulate strength." When the matter is completed, I will come to assist His Highness!"

As he spoke, the figure of the fortune operator slowly disappeared into the Longding Cliff.

And Zhao Shu's figure also stood up, his eyes were cold, he stretched out his hand to a little cloud and mist below, and the bronze and black iron in the distance appeared beside him, kneeling aside.

"Zhao Long of the first team of the dragon tooth has since broken away from the dragon tooth, went to find the divination operator, followed the divination operator, and based on his orders. ”

Zhao Shu said lightly, and the two disappeared into the Longding Cliff.

And Zhang Junbao also climbed to Longding Cliff.

"Junbao, how is the establishment of the twenty-eight constellations?"

Zhao Shu stared at each other and said, these twenty-eight constellations are twenty-eight masters with different abilities who are looking for on the rivers and lakes, and they are codenamed after the constellations, these twenty-eight people don't know who they work for, and they don't know each other's true identities, they only know that they are in an organization called the constellations, responsible for completing the tasks issued by Zhang Junbao, and obtaining the corresponding exercises, pills and money.

"Your Highness, thirteen masters have been found, these masters have different strengths and skills, and other masters are choosing!"

Zhang Junbao told the situation of the selection of the twenty-eight constellations.

"Let the twenty-eight constellations pay attention to the situation of the crown prince and the three kings!"

Zhang Junbao's eyes flickered, and he examined this matter openly and secretly with his two most secret organizations.
