Chapter 488 Taoyuan (monthly ticket replacement)

‘How did Young Master Shenxiu get involved with the Lord of Qingyuan County? My benefactor...could it be that the mysterious monk who saved the county lord that day was this person? ’

Bai Yunxian suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, as if he had seen a corner of a huge conspiracy.

'And this person's behavior is crazy and unfathomable... That's all, I'm not a disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, so I don't have to challenge the Fourth Prince for it. ’

Bai Yunxian thought for a moment and suddenly smiled: "Since I am a friend of the county lord, I will take my leave first."

She came and left just as quickly, like a white cloud, floating into the city below.

"So my benefactor's name is Zhong Shenxiu?"

Qingyuan County Lord's big eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Can you please come to Taoyuan Pavilion so that Qingyuan can show his kindness as a landlord?"

"That's fine. I've been in seclusion for many years. I don't understand the major events in the world. I'm just looking for someone to ask for advice."

Zhong Shenxiu laughed.

Regarding the general trend of the world, there should be no more detailed information than the imperial court.

"What's so difficult about this? Just ask Han Shanggong to go to Xuantiansi."

The Lord of Qingyuan County smiled sweetly and ordered the blue bird carriage to return.

Han Shanggong hesitated to speak, but knew that he could not persuade the county owner, who grew older and had more ideas. In the end, he could only secretly send a letter to notify the fourth prince, and then let her go.

Taoyuan Pavilion is located on the outskirts of Daze City, with thousands of acres of peach groves, colorful and brilliant.

"This is the fief my fourth brother gave me. What do you think, Master Shenxiu?"

The frame of the Jade Bird fell down, and the Lord of Qingyuan County got out of the car and asked with a smile.

“The view is nice, it’s a great place to drink.”

Zhong Shenxiu answered with a smile.

"Young master, it turns out that there is no joy without wine. Fortunately, there is overseas fairy wine here. You can drink it as much as you want."

The Lord of Qingyuan County was also an elegant man and immediately ordered a banquet of eight delicacies to be prepared under the peach blossom forest.

This was a very high-standard banquet in the Second Yanhan Empire, featuring eight kinds of delicacies: bear paw, elephant bark, camel hump, orangutan lip, deer tail, monkey brain, leopard fetus, and bird's nest. Fortunately, it was near Changluo, and the county chief Beppu is always prepared.

Zhong Shenxiu refused to refuse anyone who came, feasted happily, and drank the overseas fairy wine from the bronze bottle, eating and drinking happily.

The Lord of Qingyuan County looked at him from the throne with a smile. Not long after, Han Shanggong arrived and delivered a stack of documents to Zhong Shenxiu.

"All the major events since the first year of Chengtian have been on it."

"oh?"

Zhong Shenxiu's eyes lit up, he took it and flipped through it, drinking it with his writing.

'Since the first year of Chengtian, the world has been quite uneasy...'

He looked at the thick pile and sighed secretly, and his thoughts suddenly diverged to other issues: 'The head of Qingyuan County still wears his hair in a girlish bun, but he is not married yet? Is she already in her twenties? In ancient times, it was normal for people to get married and have children when they were teenagers... But Yanhan was an immortal dynasty, so maybe the customs were different? ’

Zhong Shenxiu took another sip of wine and casually opened a copy of the document, which was about a large number of side gates from the East China Sea entering the Central Plains.

Although these casual cultivating sects are not top-notch, they always have Yuanshen and Dharma-tall people. The imperial court allows them to establish sects in the middle-earth, and they also use their strength to check and balance the six paths of the demon sect.

However, things did not develop as they expected. Overseas sects entered the Central Plains in large numbers. The conflicts with the local sects became increasingly acute, and fights of law emerged one after another.

In addition, strange things happened frequently in various states in the world, and famines and plagues continued one after another. It looked like the end of a dynasty.

"There are five-colored lotuses blooming everywhere in Luozhou. Those who see them are unconscious, and when they wake up, they all become followers of the five lotus..."

"A plague of transformed animals broke out in Shazhou, with wolves, tigers, pigs and cows appearing. Those bitten will turn into semi-animal forms within three days and attack others. Several counties have already fallen... It is suspected that there will be more The Demon Sect intervenes and cultivates war beasts..."

"Sizhou... the Nine Palaces Cave Heaven was destroyed and turned into a demonic realm. There are many strange things happening around, but fortunately they have not spread... It is recommended to seal it off."

"These are all major events that shocked the imperial court, and some strange disasters that broke out on a small scale may not even be qualified to be reported..."

Zhong Shenxiu was a little frightened, and immediately looked at the contents of Taishang Dragon and Tiger Sect, which he was more interested in.

'During the Battle of the Nine Palaces, Master Jiuru fell, Yu Longzi and Master Mingxue escaped successfully, the disciples of the Longhu Sect suffered heavy casualties, the Demon Immortal escaped from the seal, creating a thousand miles of red land, filled with strange things...'

'Poor Sima Shu, Lan Yinger and others, they are not even qualified to leave their names...'

Zhong Shenxiu continued to read and found that after the Battle of Jiugong Cave Sky, Taishang Longhu Sect turned to strategic contraction, and most of its disciples withdrew to Yuzhou, while Master Qingwei Dao Miaozhen, the master of Dharmakaya, was sitting in Changluo, preparing to preside over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. .

More importantly, after several years, the old emperor's health became increasingly worse.

And the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven is imminent!

This is not recorded in the text, but Zhong Shenxiu combined various clues and deduced a little to get the answer!

He slid his fingers and made marks on a piece of copywriting.

"In August, Yushi Tian Zhongwen submitted a memorial, changing the title of the Imperial Master to 'Celestial Master', and taking back the titles of Dongxuan and Dongzhen Celestial Masters..."

In the Second Yanhan Empire, Yuandan monks could serve as Five Talisman Spiritual Officers.

Above the Five Talisman Spiritual Officers, Yuan Shen and Dharma Body cultivators can hold various Celestial Master official positions and help the court manage the affairs of the Immortal Path.

As for the Imperial Master, he was the pinnacle of the Immortal Official Rank in the Second Yanhan Empire, and he had always had to be a Corpse Executor Immortal to be competent.

Because the Second Empire of Yanhan regards itself as an 'immortal dynasty', the masters of a country naturally rank above the heavenly masters!

But now, the imperial court wants to change the title and official position, and promote the Celestial Master to a super grade, ranking above the National Master.

It seems that it is just a change of title, but it actually means that the Second Empire of Yanhan will be under the heaven and submit to the way of heaven here!

This is paving the way for worshiping heaven, and is also a general declaration to start war!

‘Only names and tools, don’t fake people... It seems like it’s just a change of official title, but in fact it’s a big turn in state affairs. Something is going to happen, something big is going to happen! ’

‘Chang Luo is right this time. ’

Zhong Shenxiu thought to himself.

The Second Yanhan Empire itself had many practitioners, and the Taishang Longhu Sect and Donghai Pangmen were probably in this camp now.

However, the attitude of Buddhism, Taiping Sect, and Miaoji Zhensect is unclear. Currently, they are mostly neutral, and they just follow the inertia of obeying the great interests of the Yanhan Empire.

What the Six Paths of Demon Sect intend to do is hard to say.

'The Taishang Longhu Sect is too close to the imperial court. If something happens, I'm afraid they will be dragged into the abyss...'

Zhong Shenxiu drank the wine from the bronze wine bottle and suddenly turned his eyes somewhere.

There, a young man wearing a dragon robe, walking like a dragon and a tiger, with a very noble face, came in style surrounded by many servants.

"Fourth brother is here!"

The Lord of Qingyuan County stood up to greet him and introduced Zhong Shenxiu: "This is the benefactor I told you about!"

"It turned out to be Mr. Shenxiu. He helped my little sister. I am very grateful."

The fourth prince smiled and spoke without any arrogance. Every word, every move, and every move seemed to have been specially trained, which made people feel like spring breeze.
