Chapter 137: The White Deer Cave (Part 2)

Li Ye's eyes flashed for a moment, and he escaped from his trance and deep thought.

The sky is still blue, the sky is still far away, but the frost between Li Ye’s eyebrows is gone, and the sharp light that has seen through everything in his eyes has also turned into two clear pools of water.

On the empty altar, Chu Nanhuai and Li Xian stood in front of him. Master Feihong sat on the white jade railing beside him, tilted his head to look at the distant sky, his pure white clothes and black hair were swaying lightly in the wind, not knowing what he was thinking.

Several arhats stood behind her, vaguely protecting her, and confronted everyone in the field in vain.

The Holy Son and Holy Infant, Nangong Zi, Su Emei and others surrounded Li Ye and listened with all concentration. The demons rested in front of the altar, and the breeze was peaceful and harmless, and nothing was strange in the field.

Li Ye looked at Chu Nanhuai, who had a shabby Taoist robe and said, "Then I will ask again, what is the layout of the Bailu Cave?"

When he said this, his tone was not very kind, and he had the anger that he was deceived.

Chu Nanhuai's face was bitter and sighed helplessly, but he did not answer immediately, but signaled everyone to sit down.

After everyone sat in the circle, Chu Nanhuai looked at Li Ye and said slowly: "From your highness's meaning, you have doubts about what the old Taoist did. Yes, the wood is so beautiful that the wind will destroy it. Now your highness is powerful and all the princes cannot reach it. If there are any arrangements for each sect, I am afraid that it will target your Highness more. Not to mention, the Buddha Domain and the Immortal Court have already hated you like the sea of ​​your Highness, and I am afraid that you will never stop until you die."

Li Ye nodded gently: "That's true."

Chu Nanhuai restrained his usual disrespectful look and said to Li Ye seriously: "Your Highness, please ask Your Highness, if there was no such battle in Hedong, your Highness would not have fought with the Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist soldiers? What is the difficulty for Your Highness to be able to protect yourself? If you do not have the ambition to support the world, you will naturally not enter the great struggle of the world. Since Your Highness has decided to make a difference in troubled times and intends to achieve success, then the Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist soldiers who compete with the world will all be enemies, and will encounter them sooner or later, how can you avoid fighting with each other?"

"If Your Highness wants to survive safely, then you should not quell the Huang Chao Rebellion and make achievements, and your power is more important than others. Since Your Highness wants to hold a magic weapon, it will inevitably develop and grow, and sooner or later it will become the most powerful person in the world. Only by becoming the most powerful can you finally clarify the universe and achieve great achievements! How can those who want to achieve great achievements be afraid of being coveted by the various parties? How can they achieve great achievements without sweeping away the various parties?"

Li Ye was a little stunned when he heard this, then he was silent and fell into deep thought.

"Without the courage to be enemies with the world and the preparation to be enemies with the world, we are not qualified to participate in the struggles in troubled times, nor are we qualified to become the final winner!"

Chu Nanhuai said in a deep voice, "While a powerful person is afraid of by all princes, he will also be able to compete with heroes from all directions. He will rely on each other for the rise and fall, and if he does not advance, he will retreat. This is the case."

This sentence cannot be refuted, Li Ye clasped his fists solemnly: "Get taught."

Chu Nanhuai waved his hand and signaled it was fine, then said, "What's wrong with your highness wanting to know the layout of the Bailu Cave? In fact, even if your Highness doesn't ask, after this battle, the old Taoist felt that it was time to let your Highness out of the matter. Your Highness is the master, and we are following, and we have made various plans, so naturally there is no reason to hide it from your Highness."

Li Ye said expectantly: "I hope to hear the details."

Not only him, but everyone was eager to look curious, including Li Xian. Hongboy was so anxious that he was disturbed. Seeing his anxious look, he almost opened Chu Nanhuai's head and took a look.

Chu Nanhuai said slowly without rushing: "Your Highness said just now that if you don't have the help of the old Taoist, your Highness will not be able to win the Battle of Fengqi Mountain or the Battle of Hedong, and you are afraid you will have been defeated. So your Highness thinks that the old Taoist and the Bailu Cave seem too... strange?"

Li Ye told the truth: "It's not weird, but it's too strong."

Chu Nanhuai smiled: "If His Highness knew the origin of the White Deer Cave, he wouldn't have felt that way."

Li Ye looked at Li Xian curiously and thought to himself that the origin of the White Deer Cave could be, so the other party wouldn't not know it, right? If the other party knew, then what role did the other party play in a series of events?

Facing Li Ye's eyes, Li Xian said, "The White Deer Cave originated from Guiguzi, so the disciples are good at tyranny and powerful, and also cultivate the strengths of hundreds of schools."

Li Ye nodded slightly.

But in fact, this explanation did not satisfy him. There were only seven disciples in each generation of Bailu Cave, who were weak and wanted to stir up the world and fight for the enemy of the Taoist sect. How could the immortal court ignore it?

But for thousands of years, the White Deer Cave has been in troubled times every time, and the Xianting seems to have not done anything to them.

Chu Nanhuai said: "Your Highness doesn't have to look at your junior brother. Only every leader of the sect knows this secret. This secret is not a big deal. Your Highness actually mentioned before that - we do have people in the fairy court."

Li Ye was relieved.

This explanation is very reasonable. Of course, it is better to say that there are people in the Xianting Court. Bailu Cave is originally an agent of the mortal world supported by some immortals in the Xianting Court.

Su Emei mentioned more than once that the Xianting Court is not a monolithic piece of the body, but also factional disputes. After all, it is because everyone has different concepts of governing the world. Just like politicians have different political views, so there are political disputes, and the same is true within the Xianting Court.

Obviously, the faction where Fairy Guanghan and the Giant Spirit God are located is different from the mainstream concept of the Immortal Court - that is, they are not from the same group as the Immortal Emperor. Otherwise, they would not have come down to the world to help Li Ye, the enemy of this Immortal Emperor.

The fact is that the Quanzhen Temple established by Wei Xiaozhuang under the instruction of Li Ye is indeed completely different from the Penglai Taoist Sect. The Penglai Taoist Sect is incense and worshipped by the people, and regards itself as an immortal gate and is above the top. However, the Quanzhen Temple goes deep into the countryside to help the people eliminate disasters and solve problems, and cure diseases and save people.

In the curious eyes of everyone, Chu Nanhuai continued: "Do you remember the battle of King Wu to attack Zhou a thousand years ago?"

Of course no one can remember this. Red Boy said impatiently: "What did you do with such a long time ago? Could it be that you, the old Taoist, were alive and participated in that war?"

Chu Nanhuai smiled and said, "The Holy Infant King is really half right. It's just that it's not the old Taoist who participated in it personally, but the leader and other disciples."

"Cult leader?" Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. Suddenly, something happened to Fuzhi's heart, "Is it possible that your leader is named Tongtian?"

Chu Nanhuai smiled even more: "Your Highness is really a well-known and well-known person, and it is indeed the case."

However, the smile on his face soon disappeared, and instead he sighed: "It's just that after the defeat of that battle, the leader of the sect was changed to "Mild Chen Taoist". It means that the world is full of filthy mud and dust. After all, he is scolding the Immortal Emperor, saying that the people of the Immortal Emperor's sect are selfish and do not regard the people as their own, and they will control the mess of heaven and earth, and become immortals in vain!"

Li Ye opened his mouth, speechless.

According to the saying on earth, King Wu's defeat of Zhou, which is the "Fengshen Battle" and was a battle between Jie Sect and the Ancient Sect. The leader of Tongtian, as the leader of Jie Sect, was eventually defeated. The reason for this is naturally to go against the general trend and help King Zhou, who was incompetent.

But after Chu Nanhuai's words, it was obvious that the battle of King Wu of this world to defeat Zhou was very different from the version that Li Ye knew. However, there was nothing to be surprised about. Li Ye had become accustomed to the differences between the two worlds.

When Li Ye's thoughts were flying, Chu Nanhuai did not stop saying: "At that time, King Zhou of Shang was very talented and did not accept the rule of the immortal court over the world. He succeeded to the throne as queen and wanted to reappear the rule of the human emperor. He wanted to draw a clear line with the immortal court, let the people of the world be their masters, break the incense offerings of sentient beings to the immortal court, and reshape the order of the human world."

"For this reason, King Zhou demolished the statues of gods, destroyed the Taoist temples, and often spoke openly against the immortal court. The Immortal Emperor was furious when he heard this and sent the immortal officials to come down to earth, held the "oracle" to scold King Zhou, and ordered him to "return when he was lost." Of course, King Zhou would not obey, and tore up the "oracle" in public in the court and bombarded the immortal officials. Afterwards, King Zhou began to kill the ministers who served the immortal court devoutly. The immortal court was furious, and then ordered King Wen of Xiqi to gather a large army, unite all the princes, and launch a battle to attack Shang."

"The leader of the sect has always been incompatible with the Immortal Emperor, so he called on his disciples to help King Zhou and fight with the Immortal Court. This is the battle of King Wu to defeat Zhou. Everyone knows the final result. The leader was defeated and imprisoned, and the disciples were killed and injured."

When Chu Nanhuai talked about these past events, Hongboy, Yodaxiao and others all listened with relish and had no intention of doubt at all. Obviously, they all thought that the other party was telling the truth.

Seeing this, Li Ye had no choice but to continue listening.

Before traveling through time, Li Ye knew that King Wu defeated King Zhou was naturally because King Zhou was unrighteous, so he was attacked by people. However, historical books were written by winners. The so-called success and defeat of the king, the truth of history is actually not that important.

Of course, Li Ye just thought about it casually. After all, this world is not the earth, and the version of the story is probably different.

According to Chu Nanhuai's account, the Tongtian Sect Leader in this world seems to be different from that on Earth. The other party is just another force among the immortal immortals in the fairy court who has disagreements with the Immortal Emperor.

Chu Nanhuai said: "After the leader was imprisoned, the original religion declined and could only choose to lie dormant. At the end of the Great Week, the princes rose up and fought against each other. The royal family was no longer in power, and the world fell into chaos again. As a result, a hundred schools of thought contend to challenge the ruling order of the immortal court, which was for the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Guiguzi, the ancestor of our religion, thus set up a mountain and established a sect in the lower realm, accepted disciples, continued incense, and participated in the great struggle of the world, and there was a white deer cave in the world."

Speaking of this, the matter is generally clear.

Chu Nanhuai looked at Li Ye: "In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was no situation where Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were in harmony, but a hundred schools of thought contend and chaos was in chaos, which gave us the opportunity to establish ourselves. In order to avoid the great power, our sect was too afraid of the immortal court, so we only collected seven disciples in each generation."

"It is very difficult for seven people to compete for the world, so naturally they cannot stick to any subject of knowledge. Therefore, since the establishment of Bailu Cave, it has been known for its erotic and erotic techniques, and also practices the academics of hundreds of schools. Because of this, the Bailu Cave Sect's people either do not go out, and they will definitely be famous in the world if they go out!"

Just words, Chu Nanhuai signaled Li Xian to everyone, and the meaning was very obvious. Li Xian was a model among the disciples of Bailu Cave.

This story made the Holy Son and the Holy Infant and others intoxicated with a very satisfied expression on their faces, and they looked very enjoyable.

......

From the altar, the demons went to rest. Li Ye naturally "occupied the magpie's nest" and moved into Li Keyong's prince's mansion. In addition to Su Emei, Nangong First and others, Li Xian was also among them.

Fang Jing fought, Su Emei and others went to rest and practice. Li Ye sat silently in the room for a while, feeling a little uncomfortable, so he simply went to find Li Xian.

"What happened to the Battle of Bagong Mountain back then?" Li Ye sat down and asked Li Ye directly.

On the altar, before Chu Nanhuai answered his question, he had reasoned in his mind about the layout of the Bailu Cave. In his imagination, it was another story. In that story, Li Ye was the target of being pushed out by the Bailu Cave to attract hatred from all sides.

Li Ye once thought that his reasoning was the truth. However, there were still many doubts in it, so after he came to his senses, he did not directly attack Chu Nanhuai.

The biggest doubt is actually the biggest argument that Li Ye came to that conclusion: the Battle of Fengqi Mountain and the Battle of Hedong. In these two battles, Bailu Cave helped Li Ye win strong enemies and achieve great growth, and also attracted hatred from the Immortal Court and the Buddha Domain.

But the problem is that both battles are extremely dangerous and Li Ye can become the final winner. In fact, Chu Nanhuai's help is only part of the reason. More importantly, his own strength is beyond common sense.

There are many variables in this, which Chu Nanhuai could not predict. For example, Li Ye was able to kill so many Shrine Vajra Realm in Fengqi Mountain, and could join forces with Master Feihong in the secret realm, and eventually "turn enemies into friends."

In other words, Chu Nanhuai could not be sure whether Li Ye could win in advance. The reason why he could win was the result of all parties' life fighting. In this case, it was impossible to predict whether Li Ye, the "target" could be erected in advance.

And as far as facts are concerned, the possibility is extremely small.

If the plan of Bailu Cave is to pin hope on events with such a small probability, then Bailu Cave will not be the Bailu Cave where "people don't know Bailu Cave, but the world's outstanding people have no masters."

On the contrary, only when Bailu Cave truly assisted Li Ye and made up his mind to fight with him and survive, Chu Nanhuai's actions could be explained. Because they did not necessarily succeed in fighting with him.

Things that may not be successful cannot be used as a prerequisite, but only as a goal.

Then the only doubt left in Li Ye’s mind was how Li Xian got into the trap in the Battle of Bagong Mountain.

Li Xian's answer was particularly concise: "Because of the emperor's order."

Li Ye was stunned.

This answer is really unexpected, and it is reasonable. It is simple and cannot be simpler, but it is so real.

"When the war was about to win, the eunuch Liu Xingshen brought His Majesty's order, asking me to bring Pang Xun's head back no matter what," Li Xian added.

Li Ye was silent.

For Li Xian, who had devoted his life to supporting the Tang Dynasty, and living a country and dying a country, the emperor's will could not be violated at all.

This also explains why Li Xian survived by chance and entered the realm of cultivation. After returning to Chang'an, he was willing to help Li Ye "rebellion" and support Li Yan to the throne.

Realizing this, Li Ye could only smile bitterly and shake his head. In fact, he should have thought that with Li Xian's talent, if Chu Nanhuai really led him to Bagong Mountain, he would not have noticed it, and he would not have been with Chu Nanhuai until now.
