308, Summons From Nuwa (Please Order All)
"very good!"
"Since King Nanzhao is willing to admit this crime..."
"I will tell the truth to the saint. The saint should treat King Nanzhao leniently. Although he will no longer hold real power, he will enjoy endless glory and wealth!"
Bai Gui nodded, satisfied. Google search reading
When foreign kings such as King Nanzhao were captured in Chang'an, they would be publicized to the public as an embellishment of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
"Xiao Wang thanked the angel."
King Nanzhao felt relieved when he received the assurance.
Seeing that Bai Gui was no longer interested in talking, Qian Niuwei, who had detained King Nanzhao, wisely took King Nanzhao away again.
Not long after King Nanzhao left, the Witch Queen Lin Qing'er walked in, dressed in gorgeous clothes.
"I would like to thank the angel for protecting the people of Nanzhao today."
"The people of Nanzhao are deeply moved by the angel..."
she said.
Today, the Tang army invaded Nanzhao City. She originally thought it would be a killing feast, and her dissuasion would not be very effective. But something she never expected happened. The discipline of the Tang army was beyond her expectation. Not to mention Qiu, there were not many people in Nanzhao who were harmed. There were only less than a hundred households. Even if every family was damaged, Bai Gui, as the manager, also lost an equivalent amount of property.
Although the generals and soldiers of the Tang army were not severely punished for the crime, it would be good to be able to do this.
"The Witch Queen is welcome."
"Nanzhao is also a common people under my rule in the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, I must treat them equally."
Bai Gui said casually.
Although he is now said to be the inspector of Jiannan Road and the governor of Yizhou, his official position and power come from Li Longji, which is not safe. Therefore, after capturing Nanzhao, regaining the people's support will not only help maintain the rule of the Tang Dynasty in Nanzhao, but also It is helpful to spread his prestige in Nanzhao.
At the same time, the reason why he asked the King of Nanzhao to admit the crime but took Lin Qing'er out was because he wanted to use Lin Qing'er's identity as the high priest of the Miao tribe to cooperate with the Tang army in ruling Nanzhao.
As for...not taking heavy responsibility for Tang Army soldiers who committed crimes, that certainly makes sense.
His real foundation is these Tang troops, not the people of Nanzhao!
Bias is natural.
Treating everyone equally, this kind of thing is just said to sound nice.
"I wonder what the Witch Queen is doing late at night?"
Bai Gui frowned and asked.
"Don't angels know?"
Lin Qing'er was surprised.
"I have an old relationship with the previous generation of Shushan leader."
"That day... I was practicing Qi and practicing Taoism..."
Bai Gui sighed, roughly understanding why Lin Qing'er came to see him late at night, and had no choice but to reveal part of the truth.
Since we are old friends, there is no need to be too rigid in etiquette.
"It turns out there is a reason for this."
"I almost misunderstood the angel..."
Lin Qing'er blushed and apologized.
"It's getting late now, so please return to the palace to rest as soon as possible..."
"Lest others gossip and insult the Witch Queen's pure name. Furthermore, I am an angel, so I must pay attention to the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty in everything."
Bai Gui said.
He didn't want to get involved in the nonsense of Mo Yixi, Yin Ruozhuo, and Lin Qing'er.
Lin Qing'er had nothing to do and immediately retreated.
…
Early the next morning.
Bai Gui, the elite disciples of each sect, and the Witch Queen Lin Qing'er came to suppress the water monster by the lake and re-seal the water monster.
Because the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult had not yet completely controlled the water monster at this time, and was caught off guard by Bai Gui and others, he was killed outside the city when he only had time to open a corner of the seal. Therefore, it is not difficult to seal the water monster again. .
Finished in half a day.
"Angel, Empress Nuwa is looking for you."
After the Witch Queen Lin Qing'er used Nuwa's magical power to seal the water monster, she was resting when she suddenly stood up and said.
"Empress Nuwa?"
Bai Gui raised his eyebrows and said doubtfully.
In fact, it was within his expectation that Empress Nuwa would come to him.
If the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult is compared to a disaster, killing the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult in advance is equivalent to breaking a disaster that has been destined, but the disaster may not end immediately.
For example, a disaster involves ten steamed buns, the first nine steamed buns have been eaten, and the last steamed bun is the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult. Now just start eating the last steamed bun. Some tribulations are equivalent to not being fulfilled.
As for why Bai Gui didn't sit back and watch the calamity rise and fall.
Sit back and wait.
Of course he has his own reasons.
Because of his intervention, he has been fooled. If he does nothing, he has no idea how the situation will change. He will be extremely passive when he falls. He may be trapped to death in a game of chess...
Therefore, his master Hou Shaowei persuaded him to choose to join the world and become a chess player.
In addition, why Lei Lingzhu chose people like Yun Ting and Liu Jinyuan who were deeply involved with the imperial court, there is definitely an unspeakable secret.
Nuwa Temple is also in Taihe City, not far away.
Enter Nuwa Temple.
The temple door automatically closed the moment he entered.
The temple was quiet, with only two ever-burning lamps burning, reflecting the statue of a god with a human head and a snake body.
"Bai Gui, the 34th generation disciple of Taishang Daotong Louguan Dao, pays homage to Empress Nuwa."
Bai Gui entered and gave a ritual.
After he finished speaking, he knelt on the futon again, knelt down and said, "The noble nobleman of the human race pays his respects to the Empress Nuwa."
No matter which world the Nuwa Empress is in, she has great merits for heaven, earth and mankind, and is worthy of worship and worship. If you really think you have a few pounds or taels, and you despise and ignore them, this is the real problem.
And if you kneel down, you won't be short of weight.
But Bai Gui also had his own intentions. He first said that he was a disciple of the Supreme Daoist sect of Louguan Dao, indicating his origin and identity, and then talked about his identity as a human race.
In this way, there was one more bargaining chip in the conversation.
Perhaps Nuwa Niangniang would not care about this bargaining chip, but it was not inconsistent with his full preparation.
Just like the exam, even if it is a last-minute cram, it is better than not cram.
"Worshiping the moon does not respect the will of heaven or the gods, so he is regarded as the cause of this disaster."
"The human world was not perfect when it was first created, so there was a stone refining to repair the sky, a small catastrophe every two hundred years, and a big catastrophe every five hundred years. Now you have destroyed this catastrophe, and this catastrophe has not stopped..."
Nuwa Niangniang said.
"I understand this matter, thank you Nuwa Niangniang for telling me."
Bai Gui nodded.
Nuwa's meaning was very clear.
It would be fine if the Moon Worshiper insisted on spying on the so-called truth. Anyone who becomes an immortal or a god will spy on this truth, but Moon Worshiper disrespects the gods and disobeys the will of heaven, which makes him a thorn in the eyes of the gods in heaven.
So the gods cast their hands on Moon Worshiper, letting him start the catastrophe, and then letting Moon Worshiper be entangled in karma, and thus die. In this process, the catastrophe in the human world will also dissipate with the actions of the Moon Worshiper.
How to dissipate it? Sacrifice!
The Moon Worshiper sacrificed raw food to the water monster beast to gain strength. Otherwise, even if his qualifications were good, how could he grow to this point in less than 20 years, and even the reincarnation of immortals and gods could not do it.
Don’t look at the Moon Worshiper who keeps saying that he sacrifices himself for the people... The people he refers to are not ordinary people in Nanzhao, but the believers of his Moon Worshiper.
Now that the water monster has been sealed again, there is no raw food for sacrifice. It does not have to be raw food for sacrifice, it can also be other things, but only raw food sacrifice is the cheapest and easiest to obtain.
There is no need to blame the gods for this, because the Moon Worshiper harmed the world, and the gods guided him to produce a good fruit that can purify the world, which is a merit.
It's just that in this process, the behavior of the gods seems extremely ruthless.
"Then... the disciple of the Supreme Taoist, what should you do?"
"The calamity in the human world must be resolved."
Nuwa Niangniang nodded slightly and asked.
They don't care about the process, but whether the calamity of these two hundred years can be eliminated.
Even if the calamity of two hundred years is not eliminated, it will not cause much harm to the human world. But over time, dripping water wears away the stone. If this time is allowed, then what about the next time, and the next time.
However, she did not emphasize that Bai Gui should bear this calamity, but asked Bai Gui to think of another way.
If Bai Gui couldn't figure it out, then he would have to use him as a robbery and place a chess piece.
"I don't understand one thing. Can you ask Nuwa to explain it?"
Bai Gui thought about it and asked another question.
"What is it?"
"You can speak frankly."
Nuwa's attitude was very docile.
"My Xuantai is a dragon turtle. This dragon turtle is based on... I have seen that it is somewhat similar to the dragon turtle carrying the River Map. It is said that when Fuxi, the emperor of the human world, performed the Eight Diagrams, a dragon turtle came out carrying the River Map..."
"When my Xuantai was this thing, Xu Changqing, the immortal who ascended from Shushan, gave me a Yangpei pendant. According to what I learned later, this jade pendant may have a relationship with the descendants of Nuwa..."
"I don't know why the immortal from Shushan saw that I should have a relationship with the descendants of Nuwa?"
Bai Gui asked for instructions.
He would not directly ask about the relationship between Nuwa and Fuxi, but what he said was the relationship between Nuwa and Fuxi.
Those who came out of the imperial examination are so smart.
It seems that he said nothing, but he said everything. And obviously, what he said would not offend taboos.
"You are very smart."
Nuwa silently examined Bai Gui, and then said: "It is said that this world was created by three great gods, me, Fuxi, and Shennong, and according to history, Fuxi and Shennong were both emperors of man."
Her words were very short and concise.
But when Bai Gui heard this, he already understood that his question had been answered by Nuwa.
"Since I am a disciple of Louguan Dao, I assist Li Tang."
"Then the way to resolve the calamity... is very simple, the human world is all Tang land!"
He shook the whisk in his hand and replied.
The statue of Nuwa was silent for a long time, obviously not expecting Bai Gui's answer to be so simple and so cold-blooded.
Compared with the sacrifice of the Moon Worshiping Sect Leader with raw food.
There will undoubtedly be more and more people killed in the war.
"Only with great unification can the people of the world no longer have wars and killings!"
"Kill one person and save the people."
"I am willing to go!"
Bai Gui bowed his head in a Taoist manner.
Although great unification cannot last forever and will fall apart, as long as there is a short period of peace, it is much better than constant war. Of course, this is not what he really thinks.
Since he has chosen to enter the world, he must do it in a big way!
Nanzhao is just the first one.
"Yes!"
The Nuwa statue replied.
The war of unification in the human world does not violate any heavenly rules. And using this method can obviously resolve the calamity in the human world this time, so it is natural for her to agree.
