Jianghu sect respects Taoism and Buddhism, and is actually headed by the top ten sects.
The previous empires were very troubled by this situation, and it was difficult to suppress these forces.It's okay to say that Jianghu sects, after all, these people are all practicing martial arts, and at most they are no more than innate.Martial arts innate, on the other hand, are in the realm of the first rank, and in the age of gods and spirits, they can barely be regarded as beginners.
And with the gradual decline of the times, those Jianghu sects have not produced a congenital master for more than 500 years.
Moreover, the members of the sect are only practicing martial arts, most of them are reckless, even if there are masters, there are not many, and the forces are diverse, and there are many intrigues between them.
The imperial dynasty controls the army, and there are a lot of masters. If the imperial court wants to wipe out these sects, it is not too difficult.
But Buddhism and Taoism are different. One of these two cultivates Buddha and the other cultivates immortality. Although they are in the world, they have the meaning of transcending the world.There are many masters who have mastered supernatural powers in the sect, and there are even those who can fly into the sky and escape from the ground. The existence of this kind of power is simply a disaster for the dynasty.
Therefore, the dynasties before the Great Zhou Empire held the two sects high and even regarded them as state religions.
And their strategy is also very simple, if one is to be the state religion, then there will naturally be a gap between the two religions, and they will have the idea of a competition. In this way, the imperial power will become the arbiter, which will naturally be much more stable.
However, the two sects are not easy to eat. Once a sect is designated as the state religion, the number of believers will skyrocket, and they will go deep into the royal family, affecting the country's decision-making.
In the long run, imperial power will often be lost under higher teachings and reduced to a tool for preaching.
In order to stabilize the imperial power, the rulers had to adopt checks and balances. Even if the state religion was established, it was necessary to ensure that the other religion still had the strength to fight against it.
With the struggle between the two religions, the dynasty often fell into blindness, couldn't see the situation clearly, and eventually led to its demise.
However, the two sects still transformed into two main characters in the emerging empire.
As the saying goes, the two religions struck by iron, the dynasty of flowing water.
For the rulers of the dynasty, this is something they absolutely cannot accept, but they have to accept it.
But with the emergence of the magic door, all this has changed.
The Demon Sect has always been hidden in the shadow of the development of civilization. At the end of the last dynasty, the Taihao Dynasty, it suddenly emerged and attacked both Buddhism and Taoism. It was caught off guard and almost ascended to the position of the Lord of the World.
Fortunately, the founder of the Great Zhou Dynasty was extraordinary at that time, with the support of super-first-grade masters, and finally, under the combination of Buddhism and Taoism, the Demon Sect was severely defeated.
The King of Great Zhou sat on the throne of the world, and the country was named Great Zhou.
The Demon Sect is cunning and insidious, and all kinds of strange methods emerge in endlessly, but every time they make a move, it will cause people to die, which is itself a crooked way.It has always regarded Buddhism and Taoism as their greatest enemies, and tried every means to destroy these two schools.
Therefore, after the establishment of the Great Zhou, the two sects no longer had the spare energy to manage the affairs of the earthly kingship, and retreated one after another to fight against the demon sect with all their strength.
In addition, it is not so easy to make up your mind that the Great Zhou Emperor is surrounded by super-first-rank masters.
As time passed, Buddhism and Taoism fought against the Demon Sect many times, and finally the Demon Sect was completely beaten into a fly that dared not show its head, so it could only hide in a dark corner.
But the magic gate is aimed at the desires in people's hearts. As long as people still have desires, the inheritance of the magic gate will not be cut off. Therefore, the two parties have been fighting until now.
But with the gradual decline of the times, the masters of Buddhism gradually withered, and now they are not as good as before.
However, the Great Zhou Empire was not much better. With the prevalence of demons and Fa-rectification, the entire Great Zhou looked strong, but in fact it was already strong on the outside and capable on the inside.
There are demons in the interior, and the royal family is undercurrents. In the struggle to seize power and inherit the throne, the old emperor is dying, unable to preside over the overall situation at all.
Known as the sword of the Great Zhou, the town demon division is in a state of panic at the moment, and it is not functioning properly. The evil spirits everywhere are in chaos and even false gods and evil ways are rampant. Even a big city like Wucheng has been corrupted by the demons.
The Xiling Empire, the Daheng Empire, and even the countries of the Western Regions all stared at the fat meat of Da Zhou. Even overseas countries took advantage of this time to frequently harass the coast of Da Zhou and plunder supplies.
This situation is actually a sign that an empire is about to collapse.
If you want to continue the lifeline of Da Zhou, you must reform.
But now the eldest prince holds the power but is bent on internal fighting. Even the most important department of the empire, such as the Zhenyaosi, is said to be abolished.
However, although the luck of the Guanqi technique Guan Dazhou is stained with black air, it doesn't look like it is going to fall completely, and it may last for a while.
Or, there will be a turning point.
Su Sheng once again knocked away the golden-armored guards who approached him.
"No matter what, the luck of the world will not fall on a girl. If this is the case, then it should be more in line with the times, rather than doing these chicken-screaming and dog-robbing things!"
"If you are a king, then you should bear the responsibility of being a king, the weight of glory!"
"The kingly way, you should push everything aside!"
After finishing speaking, the light in Su Sheng's hand crackled and turned into streaks of golden light, shooting towards the black shadow on the dragon robe!
Chapter 67
"Ugh..."
The golden light was like a waterfall, and the black shadow immediately uttered pitiful howls. It originally came from Xie Chong. Facing Su Sheng's profound Buddha power attack, it naturally couldn't resist it, as if it was cut by a knife.
It roared gloomyly: "You will fall into a place of eternal doom! No one can save you!"
Su Sheng's expression was indifferent: "If you want to become a king, please show the posture of becoming a king. Some plots and schemes are also delusional to be called the unification? You are not qualified!"
The burst of golden light seemed to open a floodgate, becoming even more violent and domineering.
Soi Ying's body gradually distorted, and his voice was full of resentment: "I remember you!"
As it let out a more miserable howl, the mist on its body began to dissipate in large quantities, its body collapsed and disintegrated, and finally disappeared.
The girl was still in a trance, muttering in her mouth: "The way of kings should push everything aside..."
"Sister Huang, if you want to shoulder everything, is this the weight of the crown?"
boom!
The moment the black shadow disappeared, the dragon robe on the girl's body suddenly shattered, revealing the white lining inside.
"what!"
The girl reacted immediately, covered her chest with her hands, blushed and said, "No, don't look!"
Seeing Su Sheng looking at her like an idiot, he said, "You have clothes inside, let me see what's wrong?"
Only then did the girl react, but she only felt a chill on her shoulders, and immediately, a layer of clothes covered her body.
"you……"
The girl blushed and stared at Su Sheng, but quickly lowered her head again.
"Let's go with the old monk."
Su Sheng's voice suddenly became hoarse, like an old man in his 80s or [-]s.
The girl's eyes widened immediately, and she said angrily, "You are still very young, why are you pretending to be so old?"
