Chapter 461 In fact, there is always only one way
"Senior Brother, what did Yuqing mean just now?" The four sect masters did not go to the Golden Palace immediately, but stopped in a secluded place. Lian Zhan, Fang Shangwu, Meng Xiangzuo and the other two stared at the head of the Gu family.
The Taoist sect has been forced into a corner by the Ming King. It is the moment of life and death, and it is necessary to plan countermeasures.
No matter what, if they want to compete with Ming Wang, Lin Huayao and others must be the help they need.
But at this time, Yuqing became cold to Lin's attitude, which was obviously abnormal.
The few people were feeling something was different, but then they saw that after the head of Lian and Yuqing looked at each other, they turned around and left without saying a word.
Several people saw this incident and naturally knew that something must be happening.
Among the four, the head of the Gu family looked the youngest.
At this moment, the three of them called him the senior brother. It can be seen that no matter how old he is, he has a very high prestige among these four families.
Listening to the three of them, the head of the Gu family slowly let out a long breath, raised his eyes, looked at the three of them, and said with complexity: "Everyone, Yuqing Mountain has made a choice. The era of the three mountains and four gates of the Taoist sect are finally... over!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the few people were almost stunned at the same time. Then, the few people's breathing became heavy and their faces gradually turned pale.
It can be seen that they were not too excited. How could they not be mentally prepared at this point?
But at this moment, no matter what, it is impossible to accept it calmly.
"Is there really no turning point?" Among the four people, Lian Zhan, the ancestor of the Lian family, was not too anxious this time. He was silent for a while before he asked slowly and quietly.
The other two raised their eyes and stared at the head of the Gu family, with expectations in their eyes.
However, this time, the head of the Gu family just faced their gaze, slowly shook his head, and his voice was also low: "I originally thought that if I could hold on until the war started, I would still have a chance to get out of the predicament by then. But as a result, you also saw that the Ming King used the selfish intentions of the Lin family and other warlords to kill people with a knife, forcing the warlords to agree with his opinion of unifying the Taoist sect. Even if the state court intervened, it would be useless. It is obvious that the Ming King would not give us the opportunity to delay time, and everything was settled."
In fact, why did the head of the Gu family explain so clearly? Why didn’t they know it in their hearts?
The head of the Gu family looked at the gradually dimming eyes, his face turned bitter, and he said softly: "Now the Three Mountains and Four Gates, Shangqing has been destroyed, Yuqing has compromised. If nothing unexpected happens, Taiqing may be convinced by Yuqing in the end. If the three mountains are gone, only the four Gates of me can still compete with the general trend? We cannot deal with either side of the country, warlords, or even the Ming Palace."
The four of them were silent for a while. Meng Xiangzuo, the ancestor of the Meng family, took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and then opened it again and said in a deep voice: "Since things have come to this point, we can only go with the flow. I wonder if my senior brother has ever known which force Yuqing finally chose?"
"Following his final attitude towards Lin and others, it shouldn't be a warlord force!" Fang Shangwu also spoke.
"It's impossible that it is the Ming Prince's Mansion. In the end, did he choose the national dynasty?" Lian Zhan frowned and said in a deep voice: "But, does he really think that Your Majesty is the one who will not blame him?"
Now that things have come, they have no time to sigh, and the most important thing is how to go next.
"No, he didn't choose the dynasty!" The head of the Gu family shook his head and looked at the three of them slowly said: "He chose the Ming Palace!"
"Prince Ming Mansion?" As soon as the words fell, the three of them changed their expressions, obviously hesitating and unable to believe it.
People with their status choose other forces, and not to mention anything else, they are at least the leader of the Taoist sect. No matter how badly they are, no one dares to send them at will.
When he was under the Ming King, he wouldn't say it well. Lian Zhan couldn't help but say in surprise: "Is Yuqing crazy? With the Ming King's temperament, even if he surrendered to him, he might not take his real life cultivation seriously. From then on, even if he was under the Ming King, even if he was a real person, he would be inferior to others from now on. And even if he didn't say these, the Ming King seemed strong, but in fact he was in a worrying situation. Not only was the warlords deeply hostile to him, but the state gradually moved away from him. With the actions of the Ming King, he would have a rare good end in the future. How could Yuqing choose to surrender to him..."
"He is not crazy. It is precisely because he is very sober that he chose the Ming Palace." After hearing this, the head of the Gu family shook his head and said.
Then the head of the Gu family looked at the three of them, and his eyes became more complicated: "Everyone, not only Yuqing and Taiqing have to make a choice, but we are the same. The Ming King has not left us much time. Let's talk about what you think!"
When several people heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little confused. Although they had thought about the questions countless times, it was difficult to make a decision at this point.
In the end, Lien Zhan spoke first: "We are different from Yuqing and others. No matter what, we are always in contact with the state and the state. If we really want to make a choice, we can only choose the state and the state."
"No, Emperor Dingwu wants to settle the Taoist sect all the time over the years. If he really goes to the state court, Emperor Dingwu will definitely find ways to put us in a weak position and will no longer allow us to continue to take charge of the general trend. In this way, even if our four families are really finished!" Fang Shangwu shook his head without thinking.
Meng Xiangzuo pondered for a moment and said, "If you don't choose a dynasty, there are only warlord forces to choose. But once you choose a warlord, we will first face the attack of the Ming King. If Yuqing and Taiqing really choose the Ming King, how can our four families get better under the Ming King?"
Speaking of this, the three of them suddenly paused and looked at each other. If these two sides didn't choose, wouldn't it be the only King Ming?
The three of them looked ugly and looked at the head of the Gu family who was not speaking and said, "What do you think of senior brother?"
The head of the Gu family showed a wry smile on his face: "That's right, the Ming King said there were three roads, but in fact there was only one road from beginning to end, so it was not Yuqing who was crazy, but we had no way to go except the Ming Prince's Mansion!"
"We still have to talk to Yuqing and Taiqing about this matter. If they don't choose the Ming King..." Lian Zhan looked heavy.
"It's useless!" The head of the Gu family denied it directly and said in a deep voice: "At this point, they will no longer believe us."
"Why don't you believe it? Our interests are the same..." Lien Chan was puzzled.
This time, without the answer from the head of the Gu family, Meng Xiangzuo said calmly: "Because they know that the four of us will not give up on the road to freedom."
"Hmm?" Lian Zhan was slightly stunned, but soon he realized: "You mean, are they sure we will choose the King of Ming?"
"That's right, the only one who is most likely to help us reach the Xiaoyao Realm in this world is Ming Wang!" The head of the Gu family nodded. When he said this, he smiled bitterly again and looked at the three people and said, "Actually, don't say that Yuqing doesn't believe it, how can we really give up this opportunity to achieve a real person?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the four people's faces suddenly became a little strange, and the atmosphere seemed to have changed a little.
After a while, Fang Shangwu suddenly said, "Senior Brother, do you think King Ming can really help us? Even if he has this ability, will he help us?"
The head of the Gu family pondered and then said, "It's hard to say whether it can help us, but at present, he has all kinds of exquisite methods, which are all that we have never heard of before. He is more proficient in the Tao and is also the top in the world. Therefore, in this world, he is the only one who can help us. As for whether he will help us, no one can know whether he will help us. However, at least one thing can be confirmed that the Ming King's method of cultivating disciples is amazing. If we deviate from him, in the future, in terms of Taoist strength, we may be left behind by him soon."
In fact, after all, everyone understood that the head of the Gu family was interested in joining the King of Ming.
Some words are hard to say.
There is a connection between the Gu family and the Ming King. Back then, the Queen's mother was the Gu family. Because she had no talent, she later married the world and was born as the Queen.
If you count the seniority, the head of the Gu family should be considered the queen's uncle.
Although something happened later and the queen broke off contact with the Gu family, no matter what, this relationship cannot be denied. It is not incomprehensible that the head of the Gu family wants to join the King of Ming.
After all, if King Ming really had a way to help the head of the Gu family achieve good luck, he might not have helped!
What do Taoists ask for?
It is not the gold and silver wealth of the world, but whether one can attain enlightenment!
Speaking of this, the head of the Gu family did not hide it and said directly: "The reason why I wanted to join King Ming is, in addition to the reasons mentioned above, the most important thing is the words that King Ming said in the palace today, especially the last sentence he left."
"The last sentence?" All three of them were memories in their minds.
"Yes, he once said that now he is the real enemy of the world." The head of the Gu family flashed in his eyes and looked at the three of them: "If I guessed correctly, Yuqing is so decisive because of this."
"I just said this!" Lian Zhan frowned: "What is the secret of this? Can Yuqing and his senior brother make a decision for it?"
"Didn't you think that the Ming king and the world are all enemies, what does it mean to us?" The head of the Gu family did not keep it in hiding, but only heard him say: "Actually, he is telling us that only under his command, the Taoist sect is still the Taoist sect, not someone's subordinate. In a sense, in the overall situation of the Taoist sect, it is still the same as before, independent in the world. In the past, he was the prince of the state dynasty. If he surrendered to his hands, it would actually be equivalent to being a minister in the state dynasty. But now it is different. He has turned against the state dynasty. From then on, all he can rely on is the Taoist sect. Because of this, he, like us, can only firmly grasp the Taoist sect's power and never let go to maintain his position."
After hearing this, the three of them were shocked. Such a simple truth was not able to react before.
"So, the Taoist sect is still there..." Meng Xiangzuo's eyes suddenly glowed.
"That's right, it depends on what we think. If we surrender to his subordinates, it can be considered humiliation. It can also be said that it was a shield for the Taoist sect. His previous words with Lin Huayao seemed to be competing with Lin and sarcasm to each other, but in fact, they were actually saying to us."
"He said that he was on the table when doing things, but some people would do things secretly. He was telling us that we didn't need to worry about whether we would deliberately make things difficult for us after we defect to him. What he wanted to do was already on the table, just to encourage the Taoist sect to resist the barbarians. As long as we do it, we don't need to worry about anything else. Even if he kills people, you will understand it. If you defect to the Lin family or the National Dynasty, maybe they will respect us, but once they change hands, they will betray us for the sake of profit."
"He also said that he never bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong, and wants to be enemies with him. He is not afraid of real people. How isn't this telling us that after he took over the Taoist sect, no one will think of using the Taoist sect at any time, because he is the lord of the Taoist sect. Whoever dares to touch his people will dare to take responsibility. Just like Zhuyemen, if he moves his people from the Ming Palace, he will dare to go up the mountain and destroy Zhuyemen."
Speaking of this, the head of the Gu family said slowly: "You must understand. King Ming gave us three roads, but in fact, there is only one road. He blocked the two roads behind and widened the front road, so that we had to go at all."
