The world of Taoism

Chapter 435 Precursor for the King
"Zhu Xinglie, disciple of the Heavenly Master Way." Huangfu Ming said confidently.

As if everything is under control.

What Huangfu Ming practiced was the art of watching the stars at night, and the art of watching the qi of the emperor.

This kind of thing is similar to spells, but there is no real practitioner who can continuously improve his realm and increase his lifespan.

No matter how high one's cultivation is, one's lifespan is only so small, and one will get sick and die naturally just like ordinary people.

The spells of their lineage are very powerful, and they can even observe the general situation of the world and find Qianlong who is in a difficult situation.

With this skill, his royal family has been able to enjoy hundreds of years of wealth. It has gone through two dynasties, five prime ministers, and twenty state shepherds.

In fact, this is still relatively small.

It is mainly people from the Huangfu family who always retreat bravely at critical moments.

The founding emperor generally liked to kill heroes to pave the way for his descendants.

Therefore, it is very dangerous after the founding of the country. Even if you retire, you will be in disaster because of the emperor's suspicion.

But the members of Huangfu's family have never been killed, and every time they retire safely, they become a peaceful rich man.

This time Huangfu Ming came out of the mountain to find out the predicament Qianlong and create a career.

This time, Huangfuming's target is Zhu Xinglie, a disciple of Tianshidao.

"Didn't you say that a person who practices magic cannot become an emperor? And he is still a disciple of the Heavenly Master." Cao Xianfeng asked doubtfully.

Cao Xianfeng is a family of military generals, and his ancestors are also famous.

The Cao family and Huangfu's family shared weal and woe, so they came out this time to help Huangfu Ming.

Although he obeyed Huangfu's words, he couldn't help being suspicious this time.

Because Zhou Xuan is a person of the way of the celestial master, he cannot become the master of the world, but Zhu Xinglie is also a person of the way of the celestial master, why this guy can become the person of the world.

If Zhu Xinglie can do it, then Zhou Xuan can do it too.

"It's not the same. Zhou Xuan is the founder of the way of the celestial master. He has been branded with the stigma of the way of the celestial master from the very beginning. Moreover, this person has a very high level of cultivation and is also a strong person who ranks among the best in the world. People of this level will not become mortal."

"Even if he becomes a mortal, he still belongs to a master in terms of state of mind. So Zhou Xuan can't become an emperor."

Speaking of this, Huangfu Ming felt a little pity.

In fact, being the leader of one party is also the best choice.

After all, there are no thousand-year-old dynasties in this world, but there are thousand-year great religions.

It doesn't mean that if you can't be an emperor, you are nothing.

The reason why Huangfu Ming sighed was because this Heavenly Master Dao was too sharp.

The momentum is booming, as if sweeping the world.

But most of the things that show this kind of momentum before competing in the world are just tools to disrupt the world.

If Zhou Xuan kept a low profile, there was still a glimmer of life in the deep mountains and old forests.

Originally, Huangfu Ming also intended to kindly remind him, after all, Tianshidao also manages Yangzhou in an orderly manner, which can be regarded as immeasurable merit.

But after seeing Zhu Xinglie, Huangfuming changed his mind.

It turned out that all this was prepared for Zhu Xinglie.

Once the world is in chaos, the feudal lords will rule separately, and demons and ghosts will emerge in abundance.

In this chaotic situation, countless reckless people rose up, Zhu Xinglie is a very typical Qianlong fate.

Once the wind and clouds meet, they will definitely take advantage of the situation and compete in the world.

This Tianshi Dao will not perish because of this, Zhu Xinglie will take over the legacy of the Tianshi Dao and become his strong capital to compete in the world.

"Impossible, Zhou Xuan's strength is very strong, Zhu Xinglie can't compare with Zhou Xuan at all, how can he accept the inheritance of the Heavenly Master Dao."

"Why is this impossible?" Huangfu Ming smiled inscrutably, looking into the distance.

All the time, the world is the same.

Once it's time to dive into the abyss, the whole world is helping.

"Just wait and see, Zhou Xuan is not the most powerful, there are still many hidden forces in this Yangzhou that are unknown."

Huangfu knows that there are still many places in this world where he can see clearly.

There are many hidden families who do not appear in this world at all, and only come out to intervene when they encounter major changes.

Danger represents opportunity. Troubled times are the time for major powers to reshuffle their cards, not just for dynasty replacement, but also for other big and small forces to reshuffle their cards.

Some small forces have jumped up in this troubled world and become new big forces.

There are also some great forces that collapsed and disappeared in this chaotic world.

So usually at this time, no matter how hidden sects are, they will come out to make arrangements for the world.

At least understand the situation of the whole world.

It is foreseeable that more successors will come out and choose who they think can help them.

And some sects will not put treasure on one body.

Some people will be sent to assist others who they think have hope.

For example, the two younger brothers of the Huangfu family went to Huizhou and Qingzhou respectively.

This time the Huangfu family selected a total of three candidates.

It is the three people they think are the most promising.

Of course, there are other people besides them who have also taken a fancy to these three people.

This is normal.

Some powerful aristocratic families and sect forces also set their sights on Zhu Xinglie.

After all, those who can't eat meat, drink soup, and gnaw bones are all themselves, and they don't have that ability.

Competing in the world does not depend on strength, it requires cooperation in many aspects to reach the top.

It's not that one family and one surname can only rely on their own assistance, otherwise, why would the Huangfu family use assisting others, and they might as well go up and forget it by themselves.

"In that case, let's make friends with Zhu Xinglie now." Cao Xianfeng received.

The power of Conglong was the greatest before Qianlong did not make a fortune. Because of this relationship, a founding emperor would not make too much trouble.

"No, you can just go." Huangfu Ming said with a smile, "I have to wait for a while, and it will be up to you when the time comes."

As the saying goes, rarity is the most precious thing, if you rush to post it upside down, it will make people look down on it.

At least you have to make the other person feel extremely miserable before you can attract yourself.

Of course, you must create momentum in advance to increase your reputation.

Coupled with internal and external cooperation, at least Zhu Xinglie must think that he is a unique talent.

Only in this way can Huangfu Ming's position be stabilized, and people will value him.

This trick has been tried and tested.

After everyone made a plan, a thrilling encounter started under their planning.

Zhu Xinglie is now the governor of Jiangnan County. Since he tasted the taste of power, he has given up a lot on cultivation.

Zhou Xuan didn't care about Zhu Xinglie, as if he had forgotten about this person

Zhu Xinglie seemed to have a charismatic personality.

Although at the bottom, the whole person seems to be born good at communication, and often calls others brothers and sisters in less than a second. It can be said that this is a kind of innate ability.

Even some people with higher official positions than Zhu Xinglie would even obey Zhu Xinglie's words.

This is rare indeed.

However, Zhu Xinglie did not become a veteran in the officialdom, but was somewhat out of tune with those mediocre people.

Even if he is in a high position now, he persists in going out to inspect every day.

The reason why many people follow Zhu Xinglie is because of the upward meaning in him.

On this day, Zhu Xinglie and his party were attacked on the road.

Inside is a very powerful monster.

It was even as big as a small mountain, and an earthquake could be generated with a slight stomp.

Most of the people brought by Zhu Xinglie were trampled to pieces under the bull demon's foot.

"! Lao Yang! Lao Li!" Zhu Xinglie's eyes were tearing apart.

A thunderbolt flew out.

Boom!

When Lei Fa hit the cow, it had no effect at all, leaving only a scorched black mark.

"Damn it." Zhu Xinglie cursed in a low voice.

Seeing the constant loss of brothers around him, Zhu Xinglie felt very desperate, and this was the first time he encountered such a predicament.

Who would have thought that there would be monsters appearing on the official path.

This is not the time a few years ago when there was no Heavenly Master.

Now there are sun and moon wandering gods patrolling the sky day and night.

No matter what demons and ghosts can hide their tracks.

Although there are loopholes in the surveillance, it is unlikely that even the monsters above the official path will not find it.

The spies sent by Zhu Xinglie and others did not find any trace of the monster, as if it appeared out of thin air.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xinglie couldn't help wondering if someone was plotting against him.

Nowadays, with the growing strength of Tianshi Dao, there are no longer two or three big cats and kittens like before.

On the whole, Yushu Academy, the core of Tianshi Dao, is relatively united, and there is no intrigue.

But the more you go out, the more different the institutions are.

In addition to the headquarters of Angel Dao, there are other sects who have joined the Dao League, and the qualifications of these people are uneven.

Although these have complied with the covenant, intrigue still exists.

Zhu Xinglie's two immediate bosses are both from other leagues.

These two people have long coveted the position of Jiangnan County Sheriff and wanted to arrange their children here.

As the place where Zhou Xuan made his fortune, Jiangnan County is the largest county in Yangzhou, and it has also developed rapidly in recent years. A little bit of oil and water can make them feel fat.

Boom!

The bull demon stomped on the ground again, and there was another violent shock, and the whole ground shattered.

, Another large number of people died. Although Zhu Xinglie was angry in his heart, he was helpless.

The strength of the opponent is too strong, far from what he can match.

In fact, Zhu Xinglie is not considered to have abandoned his cultivation, but he really can't cultivate.

I don't know why, the more I practiced in these years, the worse it became. Not only did I not make any progress, but I actually regressed.

I asked many people, but no one gave a reasonable explanation. They just thought that Zhu Xinglie might not have the aptitude for cultivation, and it was his own problem.

This made him disheartened about cultivation, and felt a little sorry for Zhou Xuan's cultivation and the support of his brothers.

What moved Zhu Xinglie was that even though some brothers' cultivation had far surpassed him, they were still willing to treat him as a big brother.

But even so, Zhu Xinglie did not completely degenerate, but concentrated on government affairs, and he has made good achievements in these years.

But this time it did deal Zhu Xinglie a major blow. Without enough strength, all prestige and personality charm are fake.

Boom!

The bull demon's iron hooves came down heavily, and Zhu Xinglie's face was ashen. This time, he might be doomed, not even a god.

"It's a pity." This thought flashed in Zhu Xinglie's mind.

Boom!

There was another violent explosion.

Coming through the air, Jian Guang cut off Niutou's head like a horse.

The blood of the bull's head spewed out, staining the whole earth red, and a faint smell of blood lingered in the whole space.

"What's going on?" Zhu Xinglie was astonished, and when he came back to his senses, he found a man in front of him.

This man was wearing a black hunting suit, holding an azure blue sword in his hand, and the blade of the sword was slowly flowing with colorful light.

Blood dripped slowly from it, and it was this sword that cut the head of the bull demon just now.

Niutou stared at Zhu Xinglie intently, his pupils clearly reflected Zhou Xuan's face.

"I'm Cao Xianfeng, I've admired your lord's name for a long time." Cao Xianfeng clasped his fists and said.

He was so polite at first, which made Zhu Xinglie feel good about him, and felt that he was someone worthy of deep friendship.

"Don't dare to be a master. Your Excellency is a master, so I dare not call you a master." Zhu Xinglie said politely.

"No, strength is not the only thing that can be called a king. Those who work hard have their role to play. They cannot be generalized. Aren't the current saints also ordinary people without cultivation, who still have thousands of miles of rivers and mountains."

Under Cao Xianfeng's comfort, Zhu Xinglie finally cleared up his lost mood.

The two sides got to know each other for a while, and in less than half an hour, they had just reached the level of being brothers.

Zhu Xinglie and his group had vaguely formed the rudiments of an ordinary civil and military team.

With money, food and people, as long as the chaos is about to break out, you can pull out a team, even if you can't land the world, you can still separate one side.

Zhu Xinglie has accumulated such a foundation without knowing it.

Whenever the founding emperor, when he did not make a fortune, he was surrounded by military generals like clouds and counselors like rain.

In addition to a part of destiny, there is actually a part that is the result of the selection of these aristocratic families.

These people came with a purpose, and they were not born with a scumbag to attract these people.

After all, heroes are also accumulated by time and luck, as well as part of their talents.

Moreover, Zhu Xinglie is not sure that he will be able to dominate.

In fact, there is also the possibility of defeat. From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many Qianlongs have died halfway, and no one can figure out this matter of heaven.

Yuchan Mountain.

, under the bodhi tree, Zhou Xuan sat on a rock with deep eyes, looking into the distance, he was looking in the direction of Zhu Xinglie and others just now.

Just now when Zhou Xuan was meditating, the bodhi tree suddenly swayed slightly, and the fallen leaves fluttered down.

A mysterious heaven and earth energy was generated.

After some searching, Zhou Xuan finally found the source of the energy, it turned out to be Zhu Xinglie who was taken in that day.

When seeing Zhu Xinglie, Zhou Xuan felt that this person must be able to achieve a great career, so he made an exception and promoted him to the county magistrate.

I saw it by chance today, and it turned out to be a reality. Although the strength is still very weak, it is now beginning to take shape.

Thinking back now, Zhou Xuan thought that taking in Zhu Xinglie that day might also be a kind of influence from heaven.

Now with the improvement of cultivation base, this relationship has been seen through.

"Interesting." Zhou Xuan laughed in his heart.
