Chapter 158 The Incarnation of the Saint
Everyone watched Xiang Youxian leave.
"What a wandering immortal, haha." Sun Simiao laughed.
The name is like the person, he is like a wandering immortal, coming and going without a trace.
Xiang Youxian fulfilled his wish and left gracefully.
A Happy Journey indeed fits the occasion.
Xu Xuan was speechless and returned to Wutong Cave.
The other children practicing martial arts saw this in their eyes. They were still young and didn't understand what farewell meant at this time. When they actually faced it, they were already sighing.
The next day, Xu Xuan rode down the mountain.
Live a long and happy life, and walk all over the green mountains before you grow old.
Who can resist the temptation of immortality.
Xu Xuan went down the mountain again.
This time, there is no rival.
There are only a few famous great masters in the world, and they are either hiding or seclusion.
Xu Xuan came to Chang'an, and then came out of the mansion, followed by a thin middle-aged man, Lu Jing.
"This place has changed a lot."
Chang'an is more prosperous. Although it is not as good as the previous life, it has also reached the pinnacle of the ancient dynasty.
There are more than a dozen martial arts schools in the city.
"Huashan Martial Arts School, Taibai Martial Arts School, Daomen Martial Arts School..."
There are also pharmacies, fur shops, and massage parlors...
Most of these are sect industries.
Since Taoist sects have land cap restrictions, most sects are unable to make profits from land. In the past, they who owned a large amount of land were able to enjoy the benefits.
Now we have to either rely on our own farming to provide enough food and clothing, or find another way out.
As wealth is dispersed, the middle class base increases, and food production increases, people have a lot of spare money and begin to pursue a higher quality of life.
The variety of shops on both sides of the street is more than ten times that of before, and martial arts gyms have become people's first choice for exercising.
Medicine is also an indispensable part of people's lives.
"Come here and take a look at the qi-tonifying and aphrodisiac medicine from Huashan Martial Arts School! If it doesn't work, it will be returned tenfold!"
The martial arts salesman beat the gong and shouted.
There is a long queue in front of you. The money you can make from this kind of drugs is faster than robbery. Who is willing to do some work of licking blood with a knife tip?
Times have changed, and people in martial arts earn more.
Martial arts has gradually shifted towards strengthening the body. Of course, this does not mean that there is no combat effectiveness. With more bases practicing martial arts, China's overall combat effectiveness has improved a lot.
As time goes by, the distance becomes wider and wider. When the gap widens to a certain extent, war with the frontiers will be devastating.
So people from Damo and Goguryeo came to ask for peace, and Kou Zhen readily agreed.
The opponent is nothing more than the difference between quick death and slow death. If you choose slow death, you will suffer fewer casualties.
"Yes, it is developed in this way. Don't try to save trouble in everything and blindly suppress it. Suppression will only make the country become a stagnant water. It will maximize the benefits. As long as the Taoist sect forms absolute suppression, we are not afraid of any disturbance they will cause."
"Disciple understands." Lu Jing said suddenly, "By the way, Kou Zhen is in seclusion and is preparing to break through the Grand Master. He asked me to tell you."
"okay, I get it."
Xu Xuan nodded.
I came here at the age of one hundred and ten, and now I am one hundred and thirty-one, twenty-one years in the past.
From the humble martial artist Kou Zhen that he met at the beginning, to the current grand master, he has made steady progress, a little worse than Tang Ming back then, but the advantage is that he has a solid foundation, and his future achievements may be even higher than Tang Ming's.
"By the way, have you found Tang Ming?" Xu Xuan asked.
"No, I don't know where this guy went. He may be hiding among the people." Lu Jing added, "Not only that, other wanted criminals have also disappeared; the world is so big, if you just hide it and don't expose your martial arts, It’s hard for us to find out, maybe this group of people is plotting something secretly.”
"Let them go. We will lure snakes out of their holes in the future and catch them all in one go." Xu Xuan said nonchalantly.
Many people don't know the power of a mature system. This kind of system will not have the problem of inadequacy, but as time goes by, strong people will emerge one after another.
Therefore, if you spend time with Daomen, you are looking for the wrong person.
"Are you trying to boil me to death?" Xu Xuan almost laughed when he heard this idea.
"Do you want to see the prisoner, Zhenjun? Wang Dao is not dead yet."
"That's fine."
Xu Xuan followed Lu Jing to the outside of the city. It was said to be a prison, but it was better to say it was a concentration camp.
A special area was designated outside the city for the purpose of holding prisoners.
"Spare my life!!"
"I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again!"
In the prison, there are Confucian scholars who kill people according to ethics, knights who use force to break the ban, domineering aristocratic families, and corrupt and corrupt officials.
The blood on the guillotine never dries up. Day after day, it is bloody and horrific.
Xu Xuan looked at the killing indifferently, without any fluctuation in his heart.
In troubled times, important codes should be used.
Even after five years of unifying the country, there are still many things that cannot be eliminated.
"The land of China is sinking, and the Five Husbands are ruining China. It has been more than three hundred years now. The north is full of bad habits, and the south is rotten and rotten. They must be killed with cruel means, until the earth is turned upside down, their seeds and culture are destroyed. Only in this way can restoration be restored. The character of Qin and Han Dynasties.”
"Disciple, keep this in mind." Lu Jing said solemnly.
They have continued Xu Xuan's teachings over the years.
It has become a consensus that we must first cross the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and then live in peace and prosperity.
The two were riding horses, followed by two hundred guard warriors.
Walked around for a while first.
Not far away, there was a troop with sledgehammers smashing murals and statues, using chisels to chip away the strange writings on the mountain walls, and burning down the magnificent and strange temples.
"This is a relic left by the barbarians. This should be the largest religious building in the world. It has hundreds of years of history and is too large, so I had to mobilize the army to destroy it."
"Yes, it must be cleaned up."
The barbarians were either killed; or they waited to be killed.
Xu Xuan has never cared about the protection of cultural relics, especially the barbarian culture, no matter how glorious they were and how glorious poems, songs and beautiful words they left behind.
Xu Xuantong didn't care, and wiped it all clean in history.
From now on, just see their names in history books.
This is what Dao Sect is doing at this stage.
"How many people are there in the world?" Xu Xuan asked.
"About 50 million, maybe two to three million less in recent years."
"Ha ha."
If all the heads were counted on Xu Xuan, it is estimated that more than 15 million people died because of him.
If you kill millions, you are a hero among heroes. If you kill tens of millions, you are a saint.
After walking around outside the city, we returned to the prison.
At the door of the cell, an old man who was half-blind was chained to his lute bone. With his only remaining eye, he watched helplessly as a man was taken out and beheaded.
Next to him was a jailer. The jailer held a piece of yellowed paper and read: "Thousands of catties of rice and one thousand catties of corn have been successfully implemented. The land of Shu has been greatly restored and the world has a good harvest. Today's prices are two cents per catty for brown rice, five cents per catty for polished rice, and one cent per catty for potatoes..." …”
"Martial arts halls opened in various places, and 90% of the sects established martial arts halls. The number of martial arts practitioners increased from 15,000 during the Datong period to 180,000..."
The imprisoned old man is king.
Gu Xiao tortured him for three years, until pure physical torture was ineffective, and he changed it to murder.
"Why..." Wang Dao muttered to himself, his face ashen.
The so-called righteousness is gone, and so is the aristocratic family.
Why has the world become better? Which link is the problem?
Wang Dao didn't suspect that he was cheating. It wasn't until he was taken out for a walk that he realized how wrong he was.
Everything they said turned out to be true.
On one side are the ministers of aristocratic families who are constantly being killed, and on the other side is the country that is constantly getting better.
The reality tore apart everything Wang Dao held on to in his heart.
He couldn't believe this was true, and he was struggling more and more in his heart, becoming more and more painful.
It turns out that he is the real villain.
The difference between ideal and reality caused him great inner suffering.
This was more effective than any torture, and it simply negated his philosophy for most of his life.
"No, these prosperity are just an illusion. They are just a prosperous age created by clearing out the wealth obtained by the aristocratic families. They just took a step forward. Only if sages are allowed to rule the world, the country will become better."
Wang Dao muttered to himself, still sticking to his old ways.
"Tang Ming is still alive. He will definitely survive until Xu Xuan's hundredth anniversary. At that time, things will be set right. The era of killing will no longer exist, but will be replaced by a more prosperous era."
The jailer glanced at this guy, probably used to it, and smiled disdainfully.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside and the respectful voice of the jailer.
Two people came in.
Wang Dao looked up and saw that it was Xu Xuan and Lu Jing.
"Are you here to see my joke? Don't be too proud. A strong person will eventually die. No strong person can escape the years. I'm waiting for you below!" Wang Dao looked at everyone fiercely with his only remaining eye and said.
"It's a pity that I am an exception."
"Hmph, you're so stubborn...will this kid still be able to laugh when Tang Ming shows up?"
"It's a bit rude to call me kid. I'm one hundred and thirty-one years old, so I call you grandpa."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Dao was stunned.
I just felt like something was broken in my heart.
