Chapter 173 Chaos in Southern Liang
Tan Yue borrowed the Qiankun Gourd from the Cloud Palace, but did not say when to return it.
Just like he clearly said that he would borrow it temporarily for Zhou Yuan to use, there was no agreed return time.
Zhou Yuan wanted to know the detailed return time, and at worst he would borrow it again after returning it, but he did not get any feedback.
Tan Yue, who was dancing and performing in the fire cloud, seemed to be drunk. No matter how Zhou Yuan called, he was busy on his own.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuan took ten pots of Tianhe Ice Dew and a hundred spiritual peaches from the inventory and placed them in the eight-foot hanging building.
"Teacher Tan Yue, don't regret it. There are still Tianhe Ice Dew to drink and five-color spiritual peaches to eat."
Zhou Yuan did this just to comfort himself. He didn't know whether Tan Yue, who had entered a special state, would accept these wine and food.
However, even if all of them were refreshed, it didn't matter. He also had the ability to pursue the enlightenment of thoughts, and a little gain and loss was no longer important.
Ding...
A golden chain rose from the fire cloud and broke all the cold jade ice pots containing wine.
But the cold wine did not fall to the ground at all. It was pulled by the golden rope and turned into a stream of water and fell into the fire cloud.
The next moment, the fire cloud stretched out like a blooming lotus. Tan Yue opened his mouth and drank the wine. His spacious colorful clothes were stretched tight by his suddenly enlarged belly.
Puff, the wine turned into cold mist and sprayed out, turning into a full moon above the fire cloud lotus.
"Good wine soothes my heart, and good pills strengthen my soul.
Take it. I will only take it this time. If you want it in the future, you can refine it yourself."
Tan Yue spread his palm into the water and scooped it, and a purple gold pill with a bright precious light fell into his hand.
He threw it in the direction of Zhou Yuan without even looking at it. Then the moon scattered and the flowers closed, the fire cloud gathered again, and the magic started again.
[Ding, get the purple gold soul-strengthening pill. ]
Seeing this, Zhou Yuan took out ten pots of Tianhe Ice Dew and placed them behind the eight-foot vertical building, then jumped down the vertical building and walked towards the exit of the colorful theater gate.
On the way, he opened the item introduction and saw that it was an attribute pill that could increase a little divine attribute and strengthen the soul and cleanse the spirit.
"Good wine soothes your heart, good pills strengthen my soul, thank you teacher Tan Yue for the pill."
After he used the purple gold soul-strengthening pill, his attribute values changed to essence: 8, qi: 7, and spirit: 6.
In this way, the divine attribute that was difficult to improve finally made new progress.
After exiting the Caixi Secret Realm, he turned back and entered again. The Caixi Gate was indeed restored to its original appearance, and the immortal ropes rose again to the sky.
The Yunbi Taoyuan was full of flowers and fruits, and there was a team of palace maids holding baskets waiting at the Five Colors and Five Elements Gate.
Although everything had happened, there was no trace.
When he talked to Tan Yue again, he only got a sentence that he could practice new skills only when his qi was full and his spirit was full.
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan knew that it should be that his qi attribute and divine attribute were too low and did not meet the subsequent skill conditions.
For this reason, he went to the Yunbi Taoyuan to take hundreds of five-color spiritual peaches and left them to Tan Yue, and then left the Caixi Gate Secret Realm.
His coming and going attracted the attention of the warrior guards. When he exited the secret realm again, Yin Meng couldn't help but step forward and ask.
"Brother Zhou, why did you retreat and come back? Did you forget something?"
"Yes, I was only concerned about using the environment of Taoyuan to sense the five elements of escape, but forgot to bring you some specialties.
Here, there are sixteen spiritual peaches in the bag, take them and share them."
"Hey, brother Zhou is generous, this specialty is really rare."
Isn't it rare? Zhou Yuan is the only one in the whole territory of Wei who can provide it. In addition to sending a bag to the palace, only the exploration team can share it.
"Old Taoist priest, why can't I see him?"
Zhou Yuan was planning to find the Taoist priests and Wei Baijiang to be witnesses, and record the special five elements environment of Yunbi Taoyuan into a document, but found that the old Taoist priest was gone.
Taoist priest Zhixuan heard the words and came forward to reply.
"My senior brother has been recalled by His Majesty. From now on, I will serve as the Taoist priest accompanying the army.
Although I am not as knowledgeable as my senior brother, I can escape underground, wade through water, and explore through walls. I think I can also take on the responsibility."
"Master Zhixuan is proficient in the five elements of escape. It is my blessing that he is willing to join the team.
I just don't know why the old Taoist priest was suddenly recalled. But if there is an incident, if so, we should show our support for each other after two months of traveling together."
Master Zhixuan did not directly answer Zhou Yuan's question, but first glanced at General Wei beside him.
"There is no need to hide it. Lieutenant Huaiyi has the right to walk the military affairs granted by His Majesty."
After General Wei's explanation, Zhou Yuan realized that the situation in the world had changed, and the Great Wei had to be involved.
The reason is that the Southern Liang, which has been on good terms with the Great Wei in recent years and is preparing to form an alliance, suddenly set off a civil strife in March this year.
Chen Zhi, the third son of the Southern Liang emperor, King Hui'an, with the support of the Chu State and the Buddhist True Nature and Chisheng factions, brazenly sent troops to surround the Southern Liang capital Rongjing in the name of clearing the emperor's side.
Due to the Wei Dynasty's policy of attacking Yu and suppressing Chu, the Southern Liang ally was not only necessary to exist, but also could not change the original national policy of being close to Wei and far from Chu.
Therefore, the governors of Qingzhou and Yizhou of the Wei Dynasty, which were across the river from the Southern Liang, sent urgent reports to the Wei Emperor while applying to the Southern Liang Emperor for the right to open waterways.
It can be said that in order to keep the Southern Liang ally, the Wei Dynasty was ready to send troops across the border to protect the Southern Liang emperor.
But it was extremely dangerous to bring foreign troops into the country, not to mention the Wei Dynasty, a country that relied on military power.
For this reason, the Southern Liang emperor not only did not agree to open the waterway, but also told the Wei Dynasty that it was not a big deal to compete for the favor of the child, and I could deal with him with a stick.
After discussion in the Wei court, they felt that what the Southern Liang emperor said made sense, so they adopted a more passive wait-and-see strategy.
Who would have thought that Rongjing was besieged in March, and it is almost May and has not been relieved yet.
In recent days, spies have sent intelligence that the Nanliang army had already engaged in battle with the rebels, but for some reason, they stopped moving forward after a few small defeats.
This situation made the Wei court anxious, so it dispatched people who could report intelligence in real time to investigate Nanliang.
The old Taoist had a soul-melting method, and he could communicate with the Wei emperor in secret, so he was urgently transferred.
"Isn't Nanliang a country of thousands of Buddhas, known as a temple every ten miles and a temple every hundred miles? How could there be Buddhists participating in the rebellion?"
Zhou Yuan could understand the Chu State's approach and support the throne of the prince who was close to him, which was conducive to directly influencing or indirectly controlling the Nanliang court.
For example, the Wei Dynasty had the ability to influence the Nanliang court before, and even to a certain extent, it could exert diplomatic pressure and indirectly mobilize the Nanliang army.
But he couldn't figure it out. Buddhism had gained the greatest benefits in Nanliang, and even the Nanliang emperor had the experience of sacrificing himself in Zhaohua Temple many times.
Even if it was just for political show, the Buddhist sect in Southern Liang should be satisfied. After all, the risks and benefits of going further are obviously not comparable.
"Captain Zhou, you don't know that there are many factions in Buddhism, and their philosophies and aspirations are also different.
The prosperity of Buddhism in the Southern Liang Dynasty caused the various Buddhist factions to compete with each other. Some were satisfied with the status quo, while others were dissatisfied."
"For example, the two factions participating in the rebellion this time, the True Nature faction sought light to shine everywhere, the sun, the moon, the stars, and the immortal true nature.
The Blazing Light faction worships the Buddha of Blazing Light, the sun, the moon, the gold, the wood, the water, the fire, the earth, the purple qi, the moon, the Rahu, and the Ketu."
