Open the door, fellow countryman, we are one.

Chapter 56 What’s wrong with betting on a lifetime?

Li Yi originally wanted to wait for the plan to end, use the puppet to deceive Li Xiuqi, and reap the benefits.

I didn't expect that my words would make people in later generations give up and collectively give up their destiny.

Later generations did not stir up trouble, and the plan was delayed.

After all, with so many experts, it would take some effort to come up with new ones.

Therefore, Li Xiuqi asked Li Yi to intervene and give them confidence.

"After going around in circles, I now represent the Burial Ground."

Li Yi chuckled and immediately sent a message to Luo Feihong, asking him to gather people from later generations.

"Senior, now we have given up our destiny and only pursue our own cultivation." Luo Feihong replied.

They saw no hope and really planned to give up.

"Don't you want to fight hard? As long as I'm here, you still have a chance." Li Yi said.

Luo Feihong frowned: "Senior, why are you trying to sow discord between us? With your strength, can you deal with the Taoist of Taiping? Wouldn't it be better for you to pursue your own path in peace? You don't have to be number one in the world."

"Gather them together, and I will be honest with you." Li Yi said, "You don't have to worry about me harming you. If I want to attack you, I can find you."

Luo Feihong was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll contact them. I'll go to the mosque later."

A month later.

Many later generations gathered at the ruins of the mosque.

Xue Tiandao, Chen Zibo, Yang Bugu, and Wu Chen were all there.

"Luo Feihong, didn't we already discuss this before? Why are we arguing again?" Chen Zizi asked.

"Because that senior has arrived." Luo Feihong said, "Let's hear what he has to say."

As soon as he finished speaking, light appeared in the void and condensed into Li Yi in black.

"Greetings, senior." Everyone saluted quickly.

Li Yi took off his mask, removed his concealment, and became a Taoist monk again.

"Monk?"

Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that the man in black was actually a young monk.

"I am Daoyin, a poor monk, originally a young novice monk in a mosque."

Li Yi walked into the crowd and said, "I am here to tell you their plan, and to make you understand why I came to you."

"I would like to hear the details." Taoist Wuchen said in a deep voice.

The others remained silent and listened quietly.

"There used to be a restaurant at the foot of the mosque. I was the young owner of that restaurant..."

He told the story of Daoyin's life, and no one was much moved.

It wasn't until the relic and Li Xiuqi appeared that they realized something was wrong.

"Li Xiuqi? He inherited the destiny of a Zen immortal?" Everyone's expressions suddenly changed. This was hidden too deeply.

"That's right, Li Xiuqi is the reincarnated Buddha. Li Weiyang betrayed you and helped hide Li Xiuqi, and she earned the Mandate of Heaven for the Tang Dynasty."

Pure lies cannot fool these people.

Li Yi just tells the truth and makes some changes to give them hope.

Everyone was silent for a long time, and Luo Feihong asked, "Then why do you want to get involved? Isn't it better to sit quietly and meditate?"

"I also wanted to sit quietly and meditate, but after Li Xiuqi accepted the destiny, there was no room for me anymore."

Li Yi sighed softly, "The moment I became a living Buddha, things started to change. Li Xiuqi contacted Mo Yaoyao and wanted to deal with me."

"Mo Yaoyao? Did she also join Li Xiuqi?"

"Li Xiuqi once practiced under the Tiger Mountain God's throne and had a very good relationship with Mo Yaoyao." Li Yi said.

Xue Tiandao nodded and said, "I know about this. Tiger Mountain God wanted to keep him, but he had the Light Flame on him, so he couldn't stay."

"That was the bright flame I left behind out of my righteousness, protecting him." Li Yi's face showed regret. "Back then, the Zen Immortal promised that if I could protect him, he would hand over the fate of the world to me."

"Now that things have come to this, what are your thoughts, senior?" asked Taoist Wu Chen.

“When the Zen Master saw that I had become a living Buddha, he promised me that destiny would belong to me, and I didn’t want to argue.

He deceived me, and I knew at that moment that I, like all of you, was just a discarded pawn."

Li Yi said angrily, "No matter how talented I am, how hard I work, or how obedient I am, the outcome is already determined."

Everyone's face looked grim, weren't they the same?
Didn’t Taoist Wuchen do a good job?
Isn’t Xue Tiandao working hard?
But the result?

No matter how well they perform, they are still the ones who are abandoned.

"We have no choice." Taoist Wuchen sighed.

"Giving up just like that? We still have a chance." Li Yi said sternly, "The world is in chaos, and Li Xiuqi hasn't achieved Buddhahood yet. Even if he is blessed with the destiny, he still needs time to cultivate."

"You mean, to execute Li Xiuqi?" Everyone looked surprised.

"Are you willing to give the fate of the Tang Dynasty to a traitor?" Li Yi asked in response, "As long as we are quick and take down the Tang Dynasty directly, and I receive Li Xiuqi's destiny, then the chessboard will change hands!"

"This……"

"If you are unwilling, please leave. I will go and fight for the destiny of Buddhism."

Li Yi said calmly: "Pity you, a bunch of strange people, living your life like puppets."

Everyone looked grim.

When these later generations first arrived, which one of them was not arrogant?
Even Taoist Wuchen, who has experienced a lifetime, still has pride in his heart.

As a result, he was manipulated by the old guys of this era all his life and was treated as a chess piece and played around with at will.

"I want to know why they do this? The inheritance of destiny doesn't need to disrupt the world, right?" Luo Feihong said calmly.

"There is a blood coffin in the burial ground. It is a rare treasure obtained by the Corpse Emperor and the Spirit Queen. It has unfathomable power and can even allow one to live another life. They need to gather destiny to be sure of it."

Li Yi said: "The Tang Kingdom has long been frightened by the Burial Earth. The Buddhist and Taoist demons want to force the Tang Kingdom to fight."

"In other words, all they want is the Tang Kingdom's destiny to fight. It doesn't matter who holds the destiny?" Yang Bugu pondered.

"Yes, this is your chance. If it can be Li Weiyang, why can't it be you?" Li Yi coaxed.

Everyone looked at each other, and Taoist Wuchen's eyes opened and closed for a long time before he said, "I'm willing to give it a try."

"Reason." Yang Bugu and Chen Zizi asked.

"I've been a pawn for half my life. I can give up my destiny, but I can't let them underestimate us!"

Taoist Wuchen snorted coldly and said, "Since they want to play, then why not play with them for a lifetime?"

"That's right, let's bet on this life. Anyway, we all have divine objects. We can each hide the antiques we collected. The worst result will be the same as Li Yi." Luo Feihong also said in a deep voice.

With the lessons learned from the ancient city, they will collect ancient artifacts from all over the world and hide them as soon as they have the ability, so that they will not suffer losses again.

"Okay, let them see our methods."

Xue Tiandao snorted coldly: "I want to let Tiger Mountain God know that it chose the wrong person!"

"I can die, but they must lose a piece of skin!" Yang Bugu and Chen Zizi also agreed.

"Then each of you should raise your own troops. I still have my men. I will lead the charge and ignite the flames that will destroy the Tang Empire!"

Taoist Wuchen stood up and soared into the air: "The blue sky has died, the yellow sky should be established, the year is Jiazi, and the world is blessed with good fortune!"

"The imperial star is swaying high above Mars, and suddenly a madman sharpens his knife at night. From now on, the world will be turned upside down. Why should I hesitate to work hard to kill people?"

"Ask the vast earth, who controls the rise and fall? Count the heroes, and look to today!"

Looking at the ruthless people from later generations, Li Yi's mouth twitched slightly. As expected, they were all ruthless.

Of course, the biggest reason is that Li Weiyang became a traitor.

We must not let them have their fun!

Li Yi watched them leave, anticipating, "The chessboard has changed. This will speed up your plan. If you can truly conquer the Tang Kingdom, a corner of the chessboard will have been revealed."
