Chapter 698: Stirring up the Storm
In the original story of the Tang Dynasty, Shuanglong's knowledge has always been a shortcoming.
Since he successfully cultivated the two meridian maps of "The Secret of Immortality", he was either being hunted or on the run. In short, things happened one after another, and they had no chance to catch their breath.
Of course, the situation in the world was chaotic at that time, and there was basically no peace.
Their strength improvement was almost entirely based on fighting all the way. Fortunately, their comprehension was quite outstanding, otherwise they would sooner or later fall into the hands of increasingly powerful enemies.
Even if Shuanglong became a master, their knowledge was far inferior to that of the descendants carefully cultivated by those powerful forces.
The current situation is different. The situation in the world is relatively stable, and naturally there is no such a dangerous environment to adapt to.
Even if they offended Yu Wenzhi, they would hide in other places and basically would not have a big problem as long as they did not show up, unless the Yuwen family spent a lot of effort to offer a large reward.
At this time, they met Li Jing, and there was no urgent threat to their lives, so they could naturally talk about certain things, which is often a reflection of their personal background.
Li Jing didn't care that Shuanglong had never heard of the Dao Sect.
Before, these two were just the lowest-level gangsters in Yangzhou City. Although they were well-informed, they were only low-level information, and there were some public information related to the Bamboo Flower Gang.
As for more comprehensive information about the underworld, where did Shuanglong know it?
The boss Yan they followed was just a thief leader who was not presentable.
"The inheritance of the Dao Sect is quite ancient..."
After Li Jing's introduction, Shuanglong finally knew what kind of existence the Dao Sect was.
After hearing this, the two of them couldn't calm down for a long time.
Indeed, compared with the Dao Sect, a giant with a long inheritance, the Bamboo Flower Gang, which was previously considered the most powerful in the world, was nothing.
However, from Li Jing's mouth, it was learned that the Dao Sect was not easy to enter, and there were many internal disputes.
"If you are interested, then go to the northwest to join the Taoist lineage!"
Seeing Shuanglong still at a loss, Li Jing couldn't help but make a suggestion: "Although the other branches of the Taoist sect have increased the number of disciples recently, the threshold is still quite high!"
There is a word that the Central Plains Taoist sect trusts its own people who have been trained since childhood. If Shuanglong joins rashly, he may not get the most core inheritance.
"The Taoist lineage has expanded rapidly recently, and even has to ask for help from other branches of the Central Plains Taoist sect. They still attach great importance to young talents with ability and potential!"
"The key is that the Taoist lineage is the most powerful faction of the Taoist sect, and there is also a martial arts master sitting in charge. If you go there, you still have a good chance!"
Having a good background, you still have a lot of advantages.
I am afraid that the high-level officials of the Zhuhua Gang, the local snake in Yangzhou, are not aware of this information. As the number one master in Yangzhou, Shilong must not know it, otherwise he would have taken the "Eternal Life Secret" to join the Taoist lineage.
If Li Jing had not taken the path of a military strategist, he would have gone to the northwest border to join the Taoist lineage.
Unfortunately, he did not know that the northwest also needed military strategists, and there was a battlefield where they could show their strength.
Shuanglong was persuaded and decided to go west to the northwest border!
Although the journey was long and might take thousands of miles, they were not afraid.
A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, which is what they are in their current state and mental outlook.
Jia Huan did not know that he did not take the initiative to look for Shuanglong, nor did he participate in the competition for the "Eternal Life Secret", but Shuanglong still planned to take the initiative to go to the northwest and join the Taoist lineage.
It can only be said that there is a destiny in the dark, and the aura of the son of Qiyun is quite amazing.
Indeed, the current situation in the world is relatively stable, and the environment is quite peaceful, which is not suitable for fighting all the way. It is the best choice for Shuanglong to grow up in the northwest border.
Jia Huan was also quite busy at this time and had no time to care about anything else.
There is no other reason. Since the first Taoism to the West was a complete success, the forces that have tasted the sweetness have begun to secretly encourage the second Taoism to the West.
Jia Huan was a little amused and wanted to question these forces. Is the new territory you just took over a few years really stable?
Even the newly built Taoist temples in various parts of the Western Regions have only been operating normally for less than two years!
However, the people's hearts can be used, and Jia Huan has no intention of dampening everyone's enthusiasm.
Since some forces want to start the second Taoism to the West, they should start preparing.
With his approval, a group of forces that have been waiting impatiently for a long time are very happy and excited.
There is no way. If there is no Taoist ancestor's true lineage leading the way, the forces that actively participate in it will not be able to submit to each other, even the title of Turkic Khan will not work.
This time, Jia Huan plans to bring in Buddhism as well.
Some of the territories occupied by the first Taoism to the West are already very close to Tianzhu.
To face Tianzhu, it is obvious that the Central Plains Buddhism will have to take the lead.
Especially at this time when Tianzhu Buddhism is at its peak, it is unknown how many masters there are.
There is no way. After all, the world of The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty is a world of high martial arts, and it is very fond of those who have made great achievements in the field of thought. How many thinkers appeared during the heyday of Buddhism?
Anyway, Jia Huan dare not underestimate Tianzhu at this time!
"Junior brother, do you really want to invite Buddhist monks to participate?"
Senior brother Zuo Youxian has some doubts: "If they take advantage, I will not be happy!"
"The Western Region is vast and boundless, and may not even be smaller than the entire Central Plains!"
Jia Huan was somewhat amused and persuaded: "Besides, what is the situation in Tianzhu? Let the Buddhist sect help explore the way. If they want to get benefits, they have to rely on us, right?"
"After all, the road to Tianzhu is in our hands, and it is easy to control the Buddhist sect in the Central Plains!"
"Well, let the Buddhists take advantage of it this time!"
"How about you run errands and send a letter to the Buddhist monks?"
"Okay. I'll go to the Central Plains to do something, so that some guys won't forget me!"
After Zuo Youxian was ready, he took the letter from his junior brother Jia Huan and left in a hurry.
There was a lot of commotion here, and even the General Manager's Office of Yumen Pass and the border troops followed suit, which naturally alarmed Li Yuan, who was the county governor in Jiuquan.
"What's going on? Is there going to be a war? Why haven't I heard any rumors?"
Li Yuan was a little confused and said depressedly: "If I don't figure it out, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night!"
"Father, let me go and find out. It's a good opportunity to see the specific situation of the border army!"
Li Er volunteered. He didn't want to stay in Jiuquan anymore. It was really boring.
It was peaceful here. Li Yuan, the county governor, lived a peaceful and unrestrained life. The government and public affairs were handled by his eldest son Li Jiancheng, and the military affairs were handled by his second son. It was too easy.
But Li Er couldn't sit still. If he continued to be so peaceful, when his eldest brother Li Jiancheng took the position of the prince of the Li family, where would he have room for development in the future?
Not to mention how ambitious he was at this time, at least he wanted to fight for his own foundation, otherwise being a member of the Li family's branch clan was not the result he wanted.
In the future, any major events will require listening to the clan leader. Even if you want to obtain an official position, you will need to look at the clan leader's face. Just thinking about such a life is depressing.
