Xuan Peng knelt for two months.

Lin Chong got the news that Zhao Yu, the second son of the Zhao family in Chang'an, had performed a ceremony of abdication with the young emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Yu officially proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an, named the country "Song" and the reign title "Duanrui".

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked.

Zhao Er was just a protector general before, and was definitely not the strongest among the hundreds of sects in the Tang Dynasty. However, because his sphere of influence closely surrounded Chang'an and he had close ties with the Qingshi and Sheji sects, he was chosen by the two sects to be the next emperor.

However, 99% of other Protector-Generals in the world do not recognize it.

It is just like when the Han Dynasty replaced the Qin Dynasty. When the Qin Dynasty lost its power, the whole world was chasing it. If the Qin Dynasty did not conquer the whole country one by one, but only relied on the babbling baby emperor of the Tang Dynasty to take away the country easily with just one imperial edict, no one would be convinced.

Therefore, the Protector Generals, the rebel generals, and even Dazhen who had walked out of the mountains, who had been fighting each other, stopped their fighting after hearing the news, and later, under the impetus of the immortal forces, they quickly formed a crusade alliance.

This "rapidly" means within half a month.

You have to know that the Tang Dynasty has an area of ​​tens of millions of square kilometers, and in the turbulent times, there are no less than a hundred hills of varying sizes. The speed of this assembly was really astonishing to Lin Chong.

Even on Earth, with modern communication technology, it's not that fast.

Wei Yingwu, who was supported by the Five Grain Immortals, was also invited to become one of the eighteen leaders of the alliance.

The eighteen alliance leaders represent the eighteen strongest forces.

After the alliance, it is time for the meeting.

It is set on the Spring Festival of the 42nd year of the time-travel calendar, and the location is outside the city of Chang'an. The eighteen princes and more than a hundred small leaders of the alliance have a total of 700,000 troops under their command, claiming to be two million, who are going to fight together to defeat the thief Zhao who stole the country.

"This doesn't look reliable..." Over the past half month, Lin Chong has been receiving news from various places, especially from Wei Yingwu.

The one behind the scenes was actually the Five Grains Immortal Sect, who later persuaded the Zao Shang, Fu Jia, Jin Ding and other sects to start an uprising together and surrounded the Qing Shi and She Ji sects, letting the two sects know that even if they had stood behind the Tang Dynasty's Li family for a long time, it did not mean that they still had a place in the new dynasty.

"A group of farmers, cooks, talisman painters, and blacksmiths... this is truly a great alliance of the working class."

Needless to say, the Five Grains Immortal is a farmer.

The Kitchen Immortal is in charge of human affairs, the Fujia Immortal is good at drawing talismans and writing armor, and the Jinding Sect is good at refining tools and making objects. These four sects are combined to fight against the Qingshi and Sheji sects in the temple. It really has the flavor of the proletariat's rise and singing of the past on Earth.

"The Hehuan Sect and the Earth God are also in contact." Wei Yingwu reported to Lin Chong.

Very good, now we have the matchmaker and the ubiquitous tabloid reporter.

Lin Chong nodded his approval.

It's worthy of being the world of immortal cultivation in Journey to the West, even an uprising can be made so colorful.

"The Zhao family's abdication was a huge misstep. In such a chaotic world, they still dared to declare themselves emperor. They must be insane," commented Wei Yingwu.

"Why aren't the Four Righteous Ones in your alliance?" Lin Chong suddenly remembered something. The Four Righteous Ones were the leaders of the immortal ways in the world. If they were not involved, this alliance would probably be unjustified.

"The Mahayana has not elected a new leader since the death of Master Hong. Moreover, most of those people are old antiques who have lived for thousands of years. They are used to the rise and fall of dynasties and should not be interested in this change."

"In recent years, the Tianshu Immortal Sect has been operating the Biluo Fuli defense formation, as if they were dealing with some powerful enemy. The Tianshu disciples who were out there did not cause any trouble, but were busy collecting various Tianji treasures. I don't know what they were doing."

"As for the Fulu Immortal Sect, the Sui Sect Master said that they never participate in such mortal conquests because the consequences are too serious. Tens of millions of people will be harmed at any time. They cultivate good fortune and cannot afford such consumption. Whenever there is a change in the world, they should close the mountain."

"As for Wanfa, I heard that Wang Mang, the new leader of Wanfa, seems to have close ties with the Zhao family. I suspect he has already stood on the opposing side."

"But it doesn't matter. They only have three immortal sects, but we have at least five." Wei Yingwu was full of revolutionary optimism. "And we represent the demands of the immortals and the common people in the world. There is no reason for us to fail."

One of the political propositions put forward by Wei Yingwu was to abolish the immortal rites that advocated cannibalism.

It was changed into a trading platform for immortals and humans.

The two sides exchanged materials in which they were good at.

Anyway, the biggest beneficiaries of the Immortal Talent are the Four Righteous Ones. Most of the immortal sects that have joined the alliance currently will not get any benefits.

For example, Lin Chong can be regarded as the inheritor of the Immortal in the Pot, the Immortal outside the Body, the Sword Immortal, the Counting Sticks Immortal and the Yellow Millet Immortal, but he has not yet earned a single ounce of silver from the Immortal Odes.

So from this perspective, abolishing the immortal rites is indeed a political proposition that is cost-effective and can achieve the righteousness of the world.

The trading platform is even better.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The four sects, namely, Wu Gu, Zao Shang, Fu Jia, and Jin Ding, all have outputs.

The materials that they are good at are all needed by human countries, such as food, food, elixirs, armor and weapons. If the platform is established and they can exchange materials from human countries through transactions, they will be the biggest beneficiaries.

Therefore, Wei Yingwu classified these immortal sects as his closest partners, with naturally similar political demands.

As for the Hehuan and Tudi sects, they can also trade with human countries by means of some means, such as marriage, childbirth, some intelligence information and so on.

On the other hand, the four great immortal sects, or the Qingshi and Sheji sects, can do almost nothing except fighting, composing poetry, and being officials. They are the ones who suffer the greatest losses in the trading platform.

In this case, it is only natural for the Wanfa Immortal Sect to join the opposing side.

But Lin Chong, who knew the inside story, had even deeper doubts.

Lin Chong had already received news about the movements of the Wanfa Xianzong. After several rounds of news confirmation and clues provided by various parties, he was almost certain that the Wanfa Tianji had also been infected and Wang Mang was the master of the fourth demonic calamity.

As for why Zhao proclaimed himself emperor at this time, Lin Chong had a guess.

"Can you still sense the secrets of the country?" Lin Chong asked Wei Yingwu.

"Since I nearly went insane last time, I haven't been able to contact Tianji for a long time. Let me give it a try." Wei Yingwu tried it and said in surprise, "I can't feel anything at all. I understand. Zhao Er claimed to be the emperor in order to seize the status of the world and then seize Tianji of the country?"

"But what's the use of this?" Wei Yingwu was confused. "Even if we know the secrets of heaven, can we prevent the attacks of the princes of the world?"

Lin Chong felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

This is the second secret that is completely occupied besides the secret of merit.

The secret of merit and virtue gave birth to a happy monk, but he was a wandering immortal. Could it be that after the secret of the country was completely occupied, a demon lord Zhao Da at the level of a wandering immortal would be resurrected?

Is this the demon's goal?
