"My Lord!"
Xi Zhicai bowed. "It's not difficult to get out! The difficulty is that I only have the spiritual power to take one person out."
"one person?"
Cao Cao was stunned.
Those present included the guard Dian Wei, the eldest son Cao Ang, and the nephew Cao Anmin.
These are all his direct descendants!
Could it be that it was abandoned like this?
"Mr. Xi, is there no other way?"
Xi Zhicai shook his head.
Jiang Kongyu said unhappily, "Cao Mengde, you'd better make a decision quickly. Qimen magic also takes time to prepare."
"Dad! You go first!"
"Uncle, please go!"
"My Lord, E Lai will stop those rebels right now."
E Lai is Dian Wei's courtesy name.
Cao Cao was still hesitant, but the fire in the mansion was getting more and more intense and he couldn't get out at all.
"Kill Cao Cao! A reward of 100 taels and three beauties."
Outside the mansion, Zhang Xiu's figure was clearly visible.
Shouts and sounds of killing rang out one after another.
run?
Cao Cao was hesitant. The people around him are really important!
Dian Wei ignored all this and rushed out.
With him was Cao Anmin.
The two decided to cover Cao Cao's retreat.
"Take my son away!"
After hesitating, Cao Cao made up his mind.
"father!"
Cao Ang looked at his father in confusion.
Give him this opportunity?
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief. "Zixiu, live well. Protect your mother and your brother. This incident was caused by your father, how can I let you suffer the consequences?"
After saying this, Cao Cao was about to leave.
But before he took a step, his body went limp.
Cao Ang supported his father and placed him in Xi Zhicai's arms.
"Mr. Xi, you are a man of great ability. From now on, I leave my father's care to you. When my father wakes up, tell him for me that the Cao family can do without Cao Ang, but not without my father!"
Cao Ang turned and left, looking at Jiang Kongyu as he left. "Kongyu, I only found out about your situation later. Initially, I wanted to marry you as my principal wife. But Mother didn't want to..."
After saying this, Cao Ang ran away.
"If this boy doesn't die, the chaotic world can be pacified!"
Xi Zhicai sighed, stretched out his hand and pointed in the air, and a green portal suddenly opened.
"Kong Yu, we should go."
Xi Zhicai took Cao Cao away.
Jiang Kongyu did not leave. "Master, you go first, I will go to save him."
"Save Cao Ang?"
Jiang Kongyu nodded.
"Don't you dislike him?"
"Master, you said he could pacify the chaotic world, so he must survive. This world has been in chaos for far too long."
"Go early and come back early!"
Xi Zhicai didn't pay much attention to it, and seemed to be very confident in Jiang Kongyu's abilities.
But when Jiang Kongyu found Cao Ang, Cao Ang was already dead.
The one who blocked Zhang Xiu's army was Dian Wei.
This ancient evildoer was extremely ferocious.
In the firelight, one man fought against hundreds of people and did not lose.
"Miss Kongyu, go and save the lord quickly! I am here, and I am all you need."
After saying this, Dian Wei raised a flaming pillar and rushed towards Zhang Xiu's army.
Jiang Kongyu came to Cao Ang. He was not dead yet, but the lower half of his body was gone.
"Kong...Kong Yu, you...you're here, it's...really good!"
After saying that, Cao Ang closed his eyes.
Jiang Kongyu had no choice but to collect Cao Ang's body and leave.
…
"Master, isn't Zhang Ling dead? Isn't the leader of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect Zhang Lu? Can we really see him if we go to Longhu Mountain now?"
The master the girl was talking about turned around.
His face still looks like a teenager.
Walking with the girl, they looked like brother and sister, not master and apprentice.
Xi Zhicai turned his head and said with a smile:
"Who told you that Sect Leader Zhang Ling is dead?"
"If he's not dead, why would he spread the word about the leader's master?"
"Ah!" Xi Zhicai sighed. "Sometimes living too long isn't a good thing."
"Living too long?" The girl's eyes sparkled, and she whispered, "The longer the better. I can stay by Master's side forever."
"What did you say?" Xi Zhicai looked at the girl curiously.
Jiang Kongyu immediately lowered his head. "Nothing! Besides him, is there anyone else alive in the Dao Sect?"
"Yes! The three brothers Zhang Jue, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang should not be dead!"
"How come all those who learn Taoism have the surname Zhang?"
Xi Zhicai laughed. "Not all Taoists have the surname Zhang, but Zhang is a common surname in Taoism, and it also represents the leader of a faction. Taoism, like the feudal lords of the secular world, is divided into eight branches. Zhang Ling is the leader of the Ling Sect."
"Whether it's the Five Pecks of Rice Sect or the Taiping Sect, they're both a means for the Lingmen to expand outward."
"Taoism has a long history. If you count carefully, it can be traced back to the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."
Jiang Kongyu's eyes widened. "So early? So, there are a lot of people in the Taoist sect?"
Xi Zhicai nodded.
“Then why is the influence so weak?”
weak?
Xi Zhicai was speechless. "What gives you the illusion that the Dao Sect is weak?"
"The Taiping Sect! Look at how many people there were in the Taiping Sect back then. Didn't they just disappear like that?"
"Haha..." Xi Zhicai laughed. "If I told you that Taoism has been manipulating the changes of dynasties behind the scenes, would you believe it?"
"I don't believe it!" Jiang Kongyu shook his head.
Xi Zhicai explained, "In the pre-Qin era, among the various schools of thought, Taoism was the strongest. Many vassal states had the shadow of our Taoism behind them."
"What about Daqin?" Jiang Kongyu asked curiously.
"Qin... is a Legalist!"
Xi Zhicai sighed. "It was precisely because it venerated the Legalists that it was ultimately destroyed! Of course, this was also due to Qin Shi Huang's pursuit of immortality and his collusion with Zhong Li!"
"Zhongli? What is that?"
Jiang Kongyu looked at his master curiously.
"A taboo! A taboo that cannot be spoken of. When you grow up, I will tell you about it!"
"Oh..." Jiang Kongyu looked reluctant, but there was nothing he could do.
Xi Zhicai continued, "The Qin Dynasty was strong because of the Legalists. To my Daoist sect, it was nothing!"
"But later, the Qin Dynasty conquered the six kingdoms and unified the world. They burned books and buried scholars alive. The books burned were my Taoist books. Tell me, can we tolerate him?"
"No!" Jiang Kongyu said firmly.
"That's right! Later, we supported the Xiang family of the former Chu State, but the Xiang family also wanted to break free from our control."
"Then we supported Liu Bang and established the Han Dynasty."
Jiang Kongyu asked curiously, "But the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, not Taoism?"
Xi Zhicai laughed. "Confucianism is for the lower classes. In essence, the emperors of the Liu family are all disciples of Taoism."
"Later, Wang Mang usurped the throne. It was my Taoist disciple Liu Xiu who recaptured the world."
Jiang Kongyu's eyes widened. "Emperor Guangwu, is he from our Taoist sect?"
Xi Zhicai nodded. "Emperor Guangwu is not only from our Daoist sect, but also from the Spiritual Sect."
"No wonder he can summon meteorites!"
Xi Zhicai: "...He didn't summon it. The Dao Sect worked together to help him summon it."
"In essence, the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Liu Xiu's Rebellion are actually the same."
“When the people of the world are suffering, people from my sect will appear.”
"It's just that we lost the Yellow Turban Rebellion this time."
"But it doesn't matter. Cao Cao is the spokesperson for Taoism that I've found."
"Besides him, I also discovered a young man named Sima Yi."
"Tell me, is the master powerful?"
…
"mean!"
Jiang Kongyu roared.
Behind her was Xi Zhicai, who was seriously injured.
In front of her stood several monks holding whisks and wearing Taoist robes.
"Is this how you, the Zhang family of Lingmen, treat your own disciples?"
Among the monks, a middle-aged monk with shifty eyes and a long beard touching the ground sneered.
"He is a member of the Ling Sect and should work for the Ling Sect. Letting him control Cao Cao and giving military power to Zhang Lu shows that we think highly of him. He actually doesn't appreciate it and deserves death."
Jiang Kongyu angrily said, "Isn't it because Zhang Lu is Zhang Ling's grandson? You don't even consider whether he has the ability to rule the world."
"How dare you! How dare you interfere with the master's name!"
After saying that, the middle-aged monk slashed out with a palm, which contained lightning and pressed towards Jiang Kongyu.
Xi Zhicai quickly stood up and used his body to block the sudden palm strike.
"master!"
Jiang Kongyu shouted anxiously.
Xi Zhicai reached out to stop her. "Master, considering my dedication to the Ling Sect, could you please let me go?"
"You said you would let her go? If she leaves, where will the reputation of Lingmen be?"
"Zhang Bao, are you the headmaster? What qualifications do you have to make decisions for the headmaster?"
"You..." The shifty-looking monk was furious and reached out to teach Xi Zhicai a lesson.
“Wait!”
A majestic and indifferent voice sounded behind everyone.
"Master Brother!"
Zhang Bao and others saluted quickly.
Zhang Ling, with his immortal appearance, white beard and eyebrows, came from behind the crowd, stepping on thunder.
"Xi Zhicai, you are the most outstanding disciple of my Ling Sect in the past hundred years! I understand that your cultivation has been difficult, so I will not punish you for this disobedience. However, you must give me an explanation for the matter of Cao Cao. Otherwise, you will die, and so will your disciple."
Jiang Kongyu glared at Zhang Ling fiercely, his eyes blazing. "You want us to betray our friends? Don't even think about it!"
"It seems like you are looking for death!"
Zhang Bao stretched out his hand and three soybeans fell.
Immediately, the soybeans underwent a huge change. In just one breath, they turned into three two-meter-tall giants.
"Yellow Turban strongman!" Xi Zhicai gasped, his eyes filled with fear.
Zhang Bao smiled faintly. "That's good to know! This Yellow Turban Warrior is a magical weapon left behind by the ancient Taoist sect. It's indestructible. Forget about you two mere Exorcist cultivators. Even a Possession cultivator wouldn't be able to stop them."
Jiang Kongyu's face turned pale. He never expected that the legendary Yellow Turban strongman actually existed.
Xi Zhicai knelt on his knees and said, "I will obey the master's order."
Jiang Kongyu looked at Xi Zhicai in disbelief. "Master..."
"Shut up and get down on your knees!"
Jiang Kongyu knelt down reluctantly, with a girl's stubbornness still on her face.
Zhang Ling raised his eyebrows and said softly, "Zhang Bao, give me the medicine!"
Give medicine?
Xi Zhicai and Jiang Kongyu were both stunned.
Can the medicine given at this time be a good medicine?
Sure enough, when Zhang Bao took out the red bottle from his sleeve, Xi Zhicai was dumbfounded.
"Heartbreak Pill?"
Xi Zhicai exclaimed. "Master, Kong Yu is young and ignorant. She didn't mean to offend me. Please, forgive her this time!"
Zhang Bao sneered. "Xi Zhicai, you're just going to spare her? Who do you think you are? Don't forget, you're just a dog in this Lingmen. A dog's disciple is also a dog. You should be grateful that I didn't kill her outright. Now you're being so presumptuous. Do you want to die?"
After saying this, the three Yellow Turban strongmen attacked together with such momentum that every step was like thunder.
Zhang Ling then slowly said, "Xi Zhicai, as long as you obediently let Cao Cao hand over his military power to Zhang Lu, I will give your disciple's antidote on time."
