Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

Zhao Kuangyin was completely confused when he heard this, and sighed in his heart that he was indeed a person from outer space.

Jiang Weichen never expected that his leisure work in Kunlun Tao Valley would be dug out by Wen Shaofei and presented to Zhao Kuangyin.

He placed this scroll in Taogu, intending to use it to deduce things when he was bored, even though he would be invincible in the future.

As a later-generation person who had completed nine years of compulsory education, Jiang Weichen did not master every subject, but he understood a little bit of everything.

He planned that if there was no further progress in martial arts in the future, he would start an industrial and technological revolution in this world.

Cultivation made his soul stronger, and as his soul became stronger, his understanding also increased, especially his spiritual consciousness.

Intuition is the basis, spiritual awareness is the tool, and some theoretical knowledge of later generations is the guidance.

In addition, he is rich, powerful and has the right to speak, so it is too easy for him to start an industrial and technological revolution in this world.

With the participation of practitioners, the speed of technological development will inevitably far exceed that of future generations.

This was his idea that he would never make any further progress in martial arts, but he didn't expect it to be brought up by Wen Shaofei.

Chapter 436: Luck Binding

Zhao Kuangyin took the two thick volumes, flipped through them roughly, and felt a little confused.

Some of it was feasible, but some of it was something he had never even heard of.

For example, the gene pairing X and Y, the law of electromagnetic induction, the law of universal gravitation, etc.

He was a well-read man, but he had never heard of it.

"Is this really possible?" Zhao Kuangyin was a little skeptical.

"Your Majesty, the leader never does meaningless things. These two volumes are treasured by him in his retreat. It is obvious that they are more precious than the secret manuals of divine skills in the Sutra Library."

Wen Shaofei spoke with full confidence, he firmly believed that there must be a reason why the leader kept him close to him.

After much deliberation, Zhao Kuangyin said, "I can accept the Supreme Alliance and help you recapture Peach Valley, but I want 70% of the spiritual peaches produced each year."

Things that can prolong life are rare, and this is the best reward he can give.

With this magical peach as an inducement, all the civil and military officials had to implement his policies wholeheartedly.

Only with unity can he quickly stabilize the situation and then start a foreign war.

Although it is easy for him to destroy a country with his strength, if he wants luck, then the key is governance and people's hearts.

Wen Shaofei was delighted. He didn't expect that Zhao Kuangyin would not only not occupy the Peach Valley, but would also be willing to share some of the magical peaches with them.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The peach tree produces nine peaches every year, and I will offer you seven each year.

In addition, when I return, I will reduce my influence, close the martial arts school, and even make the Western Regions countries under the control of the Supreme Alliance submit to the Song Dynasty."

Wen Shaofei quickly assured.

"No need." Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand and said, "No matter how powerful you are, I am not afraid. You can continue to open your martial arts school and sell martial arts. Just pay taxes according to the law."

"As for the countries in the Western Regions..." Zhao Kuangyin pondered for a moment and said, "Now that the countries in the Western Regions are not bordering the Song Dynasty, I can make you king and temporarily rule the Western Regions.

After I have conquered Western Xia, you can lead the Western Regions to submit to the Song Dynasty, and you will retain your throne."

His confidence lies in his strong strength. No matter how many people there are, they pose no threat to him except Jiang Weichen.

Since you have decided to make friends, let it develop without any restrictions.

Wen Shaofei was surprised and said bluntly, "Your Majesty, will you no longer use civil power to control military power and suppress warriors?"

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head. He wanted to gather the country's fortune, but there was definitely a gap between the fortune provided by the strong and that provided by ordinary people.

"You can teach them without worry, but while you're teaching them martial arts, you must also teach them to obey the law. Practicing martial arts is to protect our country. Can you do that?"

"Your Majesty, I can do it." Wen Shaofei replied. This is too simple.

Half a month later, Peach Valley, Kunlun Mountains.

"Such rich spiritual energy and such complete medicinal materials." Zhao Kuangyin praised as he looked at the valley.

"Chunhua said that this is the place reserved by the leader for him to break through to the heavenly realm. He usually doesn't want to practice there. These medicinal herbs were also cultivated under the leader's orders over the past ten years." Wen Shaofei explained on the side.

At this time, a figure floated over. It was Xiaoyaozi who was in a stable state in Taogu.

His consciousness was injured by Fuyaozi, making it difficult for him to maintain the state of heaven and man while outside.

Originally, after giving his instructions to his disciples, he planned to return to Changchun Valley to recuperate.

But I didn't expect that the spiritual energy of this valley is comparable to that of Changchun Valley.

The magical spring in Changchun Valley can make ordinary people live to be a hundred years old and keep them forever young. Although there is no magical spring here, there are magical peaches that can prolong people's life.

When Xiaoyaozi saw Zhao Kuangyin and Wen Shaofei, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Fellow Taoist, you are very leisurely. Your disciples do everything for you, while you yourself are practicing in seclusion here. You are nothing like me, who runs around everywhere all day long and works hard." Zhao Kuangyin joked.

"Zhao Kuangyin, why are you here instead of handling state affairs in Bianliang?" Xiaoyaozi asked.

Zhao Kuangyin said straight to the point: "The Supreme Alliance has surrendered to me, and they have presented this Peach Valley to me."

"Zhao Kuangyin, this place is useful to me. Do you want to snatch it from me?" Xiaoyaozi's face darkened.

Zhao Kuangyin could absorb the country's luck for cultivation, but when he gathered the sect's luck he could only lock the energy from leaking out.

Normal practice still requires absorbing spiritual energy. The existence of this place can speed up his practice and is very important to him.

Zhao Kuangyin did not answer directly, but said: "More than a month ago, I went to Huashan to meet Fuyaozi. When I asked, I found out that he actually had an intersection with Jiang Weichen.

Jiang Weichen got rid of Murong Longcheng for me, and I owe him a favor. Now that his men have taken the initiative to surrender to me, how can I turn them away?

Daoist friend, if you want to consolidate your sect, I fully support you. The Supreme Alliance is not considered a Taoist sect, but a Jianghu sect. I hope Daoist friend will give you some respect."

Xiaoyaozi looked unhappy. Zhao Kuangyin first mentioned Fuyaozi, which was a naked threat.

Then he said that he owed favors and that he had to repay them. Secondly, if people took the initiative to come to him, and he didn't give them face, he would be being unreasonable.

Zhao Kuangyin had both fists and reason. Xiaoyaozi looked at Wen Shaofei and said, "Okay, very good. I didn't expect you to do this to me."

"Senior, you went too far. All the brothers in the alliance were against joining you. You forced us to side with Your Majesty. You can't blame us."

Wen Shaofei did not say anything unpleasant just because he had Zhao Kuangyin's backing, he just stated the facts.

Xiaoyaozi also knew that what he did was not right, but since it was related to the Tao, he was already very gentle.

"Zhao Kuangyin, since you said you fully support me and want me to give up Taogu, then you have to pay the price."

Now that his spiritual consciousness was damaged, and Zhao Kuangyin brought out Fuyaozi who was even stronger than him, he had no choice but to compromise.

Because of soul searching, it was discovered that Jiang Weichen had indeed stayed in Huashan for half a year, but he didn't know what his relationship with Fu Yaozi was like.

Zhao Kuangyin pondered. He didn't want to quarrel with Xiaoyaozi. Thinking about the title of King of the Western Regions that he had just given to Wen Shaofei, Zhao Kuangyin said, "Xiaoyaozi, how about I give you the title of King Xiaoyao? This way, it will be more convenient for you to act."

Xiaoyaozi didn't care about the empty title of prince, and went straight to the point and said, "Zhao Kuangyin, as long as you establish Taoism as the state religion, I will give up Taogu."

"Xiaoyaozi, you want to bind the fate of your sect to the fate of my Great Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Kuangyin was surprised and said, "Do you know that if the Song Dynasty falls, the fortune of that sect will be lost and it will fall into a period of transition for a long time?"

He didn't expect Xiaoyaozi to be so decisive and tie the sect to the national destiny. Although the demise of the sect would be detrimental to the national destiny, it would not be fatal because the main body of the national destiny is the people under his rule.

But if the country is destroyed, even if the sect does not perish, its fortune will inevitably decline for a period of time.

Xiaoyaozi's proposal did not seem to cause him much loss. Although it would divert some of his luck, it was insignificant compared to the vast world.

"Humph, you, Zhao Kuangyin, are younger than me. If you can't break through, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the fall of the Song Dynasty."

"You are a Taoist after all. Don't you think about the Taoist sect? The Taoist tradition has lasted for thousands of years, while the empire only has a lifespan of a few hundred years.

If I die, how long the Song Dynasty can be passed down is unknown. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"If I can break through, I will definitely be the greatest person in the history and will naturally lead the rise of Taoism. If I can't break through, I won't care about the flood after I die." Xiaoyaozi said as a matter of course.

Chapter 437 Golden Silkworm Pupa

This is the difference between Xiaoyaozi and Fuyaozi. Both of them have helped him. In fact, Fuyaozi just expressed his attitude and did not take any action.

Xiaoyaozi had helped him before, but he trusted Fuyaozi more.

Xiaoyaozi disregarded the future of Taoism for the sake of his own path. If it were Fuyaozi, he would definitely not be so selfish.

"Xiaoyaozi, if Taoism is forced to withdraw from the stage of history because of your actions, then you, Xiaoyaozi, will become a sinner for all eternity."

It would be fine if it was just one sect or one school, but he unified most of the sects.

It is estimated that except for some sects on Mount Huashan, other sects cannot refuse him.

Such a binding would involve too many complications. Once the Song Dynasty fell, Taoism would inevitably fall into decline.

"Just tell me whether you agree or not." Xiaoyaozi said.

"Agree. How could I refuse such a good thing?" Zhao Kuangyin replied directly.

The fortunes of both parties are interconnected. Although for him, the country's fortune is currently greater than the sect's fortune, Xiaoyaozi will share part of his fortune.

But if he died, it would be beneficial to the Song Dynasty. The imperial court would no longer care about the survival of the sect, but the Taoist sect had to ensure that the Song Dynasty would not perish, otherwise it would inevitably be harmed by the backlash of luck.

As long as the Song Dynasty survived, Taoism benefited; when the Song Dynasty perished, Taoism was buried with it.

Although it will not perish directly, its luck will be low for a period of time and it is certain that there will be no successor.

If no brilliant person appears, the crisis of inheritance will be cut off.

If other sects took the opportunity to suppress it during this period, it might have disappeared from the stage of history like the Hundred Schools of Thought.

Zhao Kuangyin felt it was worth sacrificing a little of his own interests in order to bring a group of people to protect the Song Dynasty.

When he founded the Song Dynasty, he did not think of establishing a state religion. One reason was that his research on destiny was not that in-depth at that time.

Secondly, only Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism can be established as state religions, and Confucianism has already penetrated into the court, so it is not suitable.

Buddhism. Although Daxiangguo Temple was the royal temple of the Song Dynasty, some of Buddhism's ideas and behaviors are not suitable for being established as a state religion.

And now it is even more inappropriate to experience Murong Longcheng's incident. Although those who were converted by Murong Longcheng have now been awakened.

But they have been influenced to some extent, and deep in their subconscious they have already believed in Buddhism and respected Buddhist teachings. Many of those who have been converted for a long time have already become monks even after they have recovered.

Those who can be continuously converted by Murong Longcheng must be people with high martial arts skills or a certain status.

If these people join Buddhism, the power of Buddhism will increase greatly. Since he disagrees with some of the Buddhist concepts, he will try to curb them, and will not establish it as a state religion.
