Chapter 902 Iron Blood
Outside the palace.
Zhong Shenxiu walked in circles at the foot of the imperial city as if taking a walk, and then glanced at the ground, thoughtfully.
"Well, this trick is indeed effective in alerting the snake. It immediately revealed a lot of royal family background... Hehe, that Tianluo thought that he could block me with a great sage... but he didn't know that he was just delivering food to his door..."
In this world, the Great Sage is the supreme one. Even if there are strong and weak ones, it is difficult for them to create an overwhelming advantage over each other.
But for Zhong Shenxiu, with the help of part of his personality, after Fang Lang became a great sage, he seemed to be half a level higher than other great sages.
Therefore, much hidden information can be obtained.
for example……
"There is something underground... Judging from the leaked information... it is still a Nine Realm that is breaking through? Based on the information obtained before, it is probably the guy who succeeded Huang Long and made the fishermen of Dazhou miserable?"
"The Great Tribulation of the Heavenly Demon and the fall of the Yellow Dragon have forced the royal family to go to extremes...but...why do I feel that this person has some...information connection with me?"
The great catastrophe is approaching, and it is completely understandable that the royal family is eager to cultivate the power of holy war.
What really made Zhong Shenxiu curious was that the person he had never met before actually had some connection with him.
If I hadn't been of a high enough status, I might not have been able to capture this extremely subtle 'information'.
He closed his eyes and began to search for a connection with himself from this subtle piece of 'information', when suddenly his whole body was shaken.
"[Tai Sui Ming Shu]... turned out to be [Tai Sui Ming Shu]! At the beginning, it was the leader of Tai Sui Society who gave it to me... This established a connection!"
"Speaking of which, the big leader of Tai Sui Society is also very mysterious. No one knows his true identity... and Tai Sui Society can actually develop and grow under the emperor's feet..."
"Combining all these things, doesn't it mean that the leader of Tai Sui Society is a member of the royal family! Or is he the one who is breaking through the Nine Realms?"
Zhong Shenxiu praised himself silently: "I can deduce so much from such a little bit of information. It is a great loss to the reasoning world that I am not a detective..."
"But the royal family is preparing to give birth to a great saint, and it seems to have nothing to do with me..."
He thought for a while, suddenly lost interest, and started to walk back: "I am very busy. Recently, there will be a meeting of saints in Jinling to discuss how to deal with the upcoming catastrophe of the demon... After all the great saints agree, The Taoist sect will issue a talisman edict to recruit all the casual cultivators who have reached the level of cultivation. They must not violate it, otherwise they will be killed directly... This is a major event in the world of cultivation."
"Think about it this way, a little shrimp like Huang Yuanba who has only cultivated a breath of golden cicada energy probably won't be able to receive the talisman. But both Cen Hongyue and Qin Weiyin are a bit dangerous... This door talisman is said to be the right one. The great sages personally sent it out through the secret ritual, and it appeared directly in the minds of the monks who had reached the standard of cultivation. It was impossible to avoid or reject it..."
With this thought in mind, Zhong Shenxiu shrugged and walked into another street.
This place is not far from the ‘Shili Foreign Market’ and has always been a very prosperous and lively place, but today, the market is in a mess.
"Extra number, extra number... Offshore sea routes were cut off, business was severely hit, and five foreign companies declared bankruptcy!"
A newsboy was waving a newspaper in his hand and running very fast in cloth shoes with holes sticking out of his toes.
"Wait, give me one! The rest will be a reward!"
Zhong Shenxiu casually took out a silver dollar and bought a newspaper. He ignored the newsboy's delighted expression and opened it to read.
"Well, everything is indeed related. Offshore trade routes were cut off, and a chain reaction immediately started..."
He flipped through the newspaper and couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the long articles on it, all reporting on the interruption of offshore trade routes, monsters ravaging the coast, eating people and killing people, etc.
Immediately, several other gossips attracted Zhong Shenxiu's attention even more: "The Westernizationists... are finished? That's right... They originally only started to compete with foreign merchants and foreign goods. Now that the foreign goods have been overthrown, new technologies and new factories are still there. Do you want it?"
The virtues of ancient feudal officials were actually very similar to those of landlords. In addition to being enthusiastic about buying land, they would rather cast their accumulated gold and silver into silver winter melons and hide them in cellars than use them to develop production.
For feudal officials, it is best for the world to remain unchanged and continue to govern according to Confucian principles. It is so tiring to open factories and work hard!
Without external stimulation, the Westernizationists quickly lost power, which is understandable.
"Above the imperial court, there are many officials who took the opportunity to impeach foreigners for their crimes, and suggested abolishing foreign privileges and stealing foreign property... This is a slap in the face, but it is a pity that they do not understand the general trend... Although ordinary foreigners are finished, the connection with the extraordinary world is still there. , the imperial court will not break up with each other."
After Zhong Shenxiu finished reading the newspaper, he rolled it up and prepared to find a trash can to throw it away.
Suddenly, a figure was spotted out of the corner of his eye.
The other party was wearing a suit and a bowler hat, looking like a fake foreign devil, but at this time he was despised by everyone.
He came out of a bank account with a gloomy face, looking like a defeated dog in life. He lowered his head and walked away, not noticing Zhong Shenxiu at all.
"Isn't this the same progressive young man I met on the boat when I came to Jinling, Hu Wei and Hu Jinxin?"
A flash of light flashed in Zhong Shenxiu's eyes: "He actually got such a strong and strange aura. He has had a lot of contact with monks recently? And... he's still a relatively strong one?"
After thinking about this, he became a little interested and followed Hu Wei.
The man didn't even notice that he was being followed. He came to the suburbs and entered a bankrupt factory.
This factory was supposed to be a textile factory, but now it is deserted, dilapidated and desolate.
Hu Wei came to the office, took out a bottle of wine from the counter, and drank it down.
"The ticket number is shameless!"
After drinking heavily, he finally vented his anger: "Seeing that my cargo ship was destroyed in the ocean, they had to pay a large amount of liquidated damages. Not only did they not help, but they added insult to injury... When my father was proud, how did they behave? My father is now After losing ground, he has another face, it’s really funny, it’s funny..."
His cheeks were red, and his face seemed to be crying and smiling.
"What's wrong? Our progressive youth?"
At this time, a figure wearing a black iron mask suddenly walked out of the shadows.
"Is it you? From the 'Iron Blood Society'?"
Hu Wei blinked his drunken and hazy eyes: "Are you coming to see my jokes too?"
"No, no, Mr. Hu, I'm just here to discuss cooperation." The masked man chuckled: "Didn't we cooperate very happily in the past few times?"
Hu Wei trembled, as if he thought of something bad: "You... you are not good people, you are rebels!"
