Chapter 142 Heading to the Demon Gate Camp
After Lei Chunbai returned to King Huainan's residence, he reported the entire situation. Zhao Yiming felt that the time was very mature and there should be no problems with this mission.
The next day he changed his clothes and did not wear Baiyun Valley clothes. Instead, he changed into a blue silk gown and officially headed to the Demon Gate camp carrying gifts.
As expected, Zou Tao was waiting for him in front of the camp when he saw his motorcade coming. He came up to him immediately and bowed very seriously.
Zhao Yiming laughed and said: "Today is different from the past. Now you are the young master of the Hehuan Sect. How can I be worthy of your courtesy?"
Zou Tao was also very magnanimous at this time. He said with a smile on his face: "Brother Zhao, that's enough. If our siblings hadn't been taken care of by Brother Zhao, we probably wouldn't be where we are today.
It's a pity that my sister is in retreat, otherwise, if she knew that Brother Zhao was here. Starry Night will definitely come over, but she talks about Brother Zhao every day. "
Zhao Yiming sighed softly and said: "It is true that things in the world are constantly changing. Who could have imagined that such earth-shaking changes would occur in just half a year."
Feng Lang, now Zou Tao's follower, whispered from the side: "Several other sect masters are waiting for Mr. Zhao there. It's not good to keep them waiting for a long time. Why not go in first!"
Zhao Yiming nodded and said: "We should put official matters first. Go in and meet them first, and then we two brothers will discuss it in detail."
Zou Tao took a step to the side, intentionally falling half behind Zhao Yiming to show respect for him. At the same time, it also warns others not to act rashly.
Zhao Yiming had already put the string of Buddhist beads on his hand. When Gui Zhen walked into the tent, a look of surprise flashed across his face. Although this look was fleeting, it was keenly captured by Ye Yu.
Guizhen stood up first and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to be a layman. No wonder Buddhism is so profound. I have also heard a few of Mr. Zhao's Zen sayings. As expected, there are many Zen ideas that make people enlightened."
Zhao Yiming looked at Gui Zhen, especially his eyes. He smiled slightly and said, "I heard two Zen poems back then, and I told one of them to Monk Fahui.
Another song I thought no one in this world could do. I saw the master today and found out that he can do it, so I gave this Zen poem to the master as a greeting gift. "
Gui Zhen clasped his hands and said, "The young man must listen attentively and ask the donor for advice."
Zhao Yiming cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in my heart, so how can it be stained with dust."
Guizhen made a big gift directly and said: "How virtuous and capable the young monk is, he deserves such praise from Mr. Zhao. This poem is really unpredictable and profound as the sea. The benefactor's light of wisdom makes Xiaosheng admire him endlessly."
Zhao Yiming shook his head gently and said: "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. Why does the master need to be a minister? It is just a thought to enter the world."
Guizhen nodded and said, "I don't know why Mr. Zhao came here today, but I dare to say here that no matter how the young master walks in today, the young monk will guarantee how the young master walks out."
Zhou Yuanliang said with a smile: "Why did Master Guizhen say this? The two countries are fighting without killing each other. I still know such a simple truth, and I will never make it difficult for Mr. Zhao."
Ye Yu stood up with a smile and said: "I am the magician Gong Yeyu. What Mr. Zhao just said is indeed unfathomable. But I am just a layman and I don't understand those things very well.
I am very interested in Mr. Zhao’s world policy. Mr. Zhao compared the people to water, so what do we think of us? "
Zhao Yiming said with a smile on his face: "The people are water, which can nourish all things. We people are the rocks in the water, which can play the role of river channels, guiding the people's water to where they should go."
At the same time we are the mainstay, able to emerge from the water when we are needed. Crush all external forces without giving anyone an opportunity to take advantage. "
Ye Yu nodded secretly, and then asked: "I don't know what the young master's views on good and evil are."
Zhao Yiming laughed loudly and said: "What is righteousness? What is evil? Who in the world can explain clearly? If it is divided by martial arts, then this is like a knife, which can do both good and bad things. It depends on how you do it.”
"What you said means you didn't say anything at all. Instead of going around in circles here, why don't you tell me what you are here for?"
Zhao Yiming turned around and saw that the person speaking was a guy with a coffin face. He smiled and bowed and said, "I haven't asked you yet, who is your Excellency?"
Zhao Fengnan snorted from his nose: "I am Zhao Fengnan from the Blood Corpse Sect. I don't think I have anything to say to you. Who is your Huainan King? He actually gave us a greeting. Is he worthy?"
Zhao Yiming shook his head gently and said: "Actually, whether we are worthy or not is not just talk. I know that in the eyes of Senior Brother Zhao, we are nothing at all.
But then again, in our eyes, Senior Brother Zhao is nothing special. After all, this is Dianchi Lake, a territory under the jurisdiction of the King of Huainan.
I know you look down on the government, and there is no need to look down on the government. After all, a large sect is superior to the government, but no matter from which perspective, everyone is actually interdependent.
I don't think you are nobler than us, nor do I think you are anything special. Just like Baiyun Valley, without the supply from Baiyun City, they would never be able to develop to this day.
The same is true for the nine sects of your Demon Sect, without the Starry Empire struggling to support you from behind. How can you practice Qigong with peace of mind? Don't tell me that you can practice Qigong without eating. "
Zhao Fengnan was speechless by Zhao Yiming's words. He didn't know how to refute for a moment and sat down angrily.
Cao Hui chuckled and said: "I am Cao Hui from the Hundred Killers Sect. I think Mr. Zhao is just trying to make excuses. In this world, power is justice, and whoever has a strong fist is the boss.
Even without the support of the Starry Empire, we can still get what we want. We can go and rob the people, but how can we still be hungry? "
Zhao Yiming shook his head gently and said: "What Senior Brother Cao said makes no sense. You can indeed rob it, but why you can rob it back is because the people can survive because of the existence of the empire.
If there were no three great empires now, the whole world would be in chaos. The people themselves are starved of food. I wonder what Brother Cao is planning to rob. Is he going to eat human flesh? "
