There was chaos in Haojing City.
The figure of the Demon Lord of Annihilation disappeared, but the panic it brought to the human race continued to spread.
The expressions of the ministers of the dynasty under the abdication stage changed drastically and they were talking a lot. However, Li Chunyuan, who was standing at the top, stroked his beard and smiled, as if he had known all this for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, another explosive news was announced by the second prince on the stage: "I have been taught by the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect since I was a child. The Holy Spirit Sect helps people in need and saves the people. It is actually a good sect in the Five Realms. I will worship the leader of the Holy Spirit as the Supreme Being." Master, the hall master Li Chunyuan is the national teacher and the prime minister of the government, and the Holy Spirit Church is established as the state religion of our Great Zhou Dynasty. Members of the Holy Spirit Church can become officials and enjoy the official salary of our Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"boom--"
There was another loud noise, and in the sky, the great fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty rolled into existence. The little divine light from the Holy Spirit Sect gradually merged into this fortune, becoming brighter and brighter.
On the abdication stage, Lu Zhantian was dressed in black, standing beside Ji Yansheng, and smiled slightly: "Confucianism has attracted demons for the people of the Central Region. It is an unpardonable crime and should be expelled!"
The confused Ji Yansheng beside him nodded: "Yes, from now on, I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, will expel Confucianism, and the academies in various places will be converted into Holy Spirit Churches from now on!"
…………
The news of the abdication of the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the invasion of the Central Region by the demons gradually spread to the five regions. Naturally, Ye Ling and others in Xinyang City learned the news soon.
Xu Hong frowned and said, "What is the Holy Spirit Sect so anxious about?"
Hua Xinfeng heard this and asked quickly: "Xiucai, what do you mean?"
"After all, Confucianism is one of the three religions with a profound foundation. Even if it attracts demons, I'm afraid it is no match. The Holy Spirit Religion does not continue to plot secretly at this time, but openly and openly wants to do it with real swords and guns. This is really unreasonable."
Xiao Wu said on the side: "There are many unreasonable things in this world. I am such a monster who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Why don't I follow you and put my head in my belt to risk my life?"
Yiwei grinned: "Thank you for your self-awareness."
Hua Xinfeng said: "Indeed, the Holy Spirit Sect has taken too big steps. The territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty is vast. It will take a lot of effort for him to control the dynasty. Now that he has made it clear that he is an enemy of Confucianism, isn't he asking for trouble?"
"That's what I can't figure out."
Xu Hong shook the folding fan quickly, as if he wanted the cool breeze to bring him some thoughts.
While talking, the city lord Wu Qiang walked in from outside the house and said: "Oh no, the demons have invaded Ganzhou, but they only killed scholars and resisters, and did not harm ordinary people. Many people even asked the demons to help them. To punish evildoers, those demon cultivators from the human race lead the demon race to avenge the people. Now they are not blocked by any city they pass through, and the Confucian disciples have also fled and gathered in Kongcheng and Donglu City."
Ning Changge and Pan Yulin looked at each other for a moment, and Pan Yulin asked: "What does the demon clan mean?"
"It seems that the demon clan has indeed reached an agreement with the Holy Spirit Religion to completely cut off the foundation of Confucianism in the Central Region, but it is too naive."
Xu Hong didn't take it seriously. Instead, he looked at the map and compared the marching route of the demons. As he expected, the target of the demons was the largest demon territory in the Central Territory.
"If the demon realm here is breached, I don't know how many demons will be released."
"But where are there any forces in the Central Region that can resist the Demon Realm now? The Great Zhou Dynasty is under the control of the Holy Spirit Cult, and the two have joined forces with the Demon Clan. Confucianism has no time to take care of itself, and Buddhism and Taoism are watching with cold eyes. The Central Region is really going to be in chaos!"
"If there is no great chaos, how can we achieve great governance? If we don't destroy it, we can't establish it!"
Xu Hong turned to look at the worried Ye Ling and asked with a smile: "Are you worried about Miss Qingyi?"
Ye Ling nodded and said, "If we take this opportunity, can we rescue Qing Yi?"
"It depends on people. It may be feasible, but now all forces are waiting and watching. The water is not yet muddy, so it may be difficult to fish!"
Hua Xinfeng sighed helplessly: "We fight over and over again, but the only ones who suffer are ordinary civilians and ordinary disciples."
………
Lively market, busy with traffic.
Among the crowd, the Thirteenth Prince Ji Yanchou wore a bamboo hat to cover his face, followed by Dongfang Han, who was dressed as a woman and waving a fan, and Jiang Fan, who still looked like a boy.
Dongfang Han liked the excitement the most. He looked around at the vendors' goods and said with a smile, "This place is much bigger than the cities I passed before."
Ji Yanchou said: "This Five Rivers City is where all kinds of water converge. Water and dry roads extend in all directions. Travelers come and go in a busy way, so it has such a scale."
"Who are you looking for here?"
"This important town in Wujiang has always been guarded by members of my royal family. The city lord here is my imperial uncle. Such a big thing happened to the court, so I have no choice but to come and join him."
"Okay, okay, you go find him yourself. Xiaofan and I will go shopping on the street and we'll look for you later."
Ji Yanchou nodded and said: "Don't run too far away. Come to the city lord to find me when the time comes."
"I know, let's go first."
After saying that, Dongfang Han took Xiaofan and left.
Ji Yanchou stared at it for a long time, then withdrew his gaze and came to the door of the city lord's palace. A guard came forward to ask, and Ji Yanchou showed a token.
When the guard saw that it was something belonging to the royal family, he hurried back to the house to report it. Not long after, a servant came out to lead the way and brought Ji Yanchou into the house.
Above the lobby, Emperor Ji Pingqiu, Lord of Wujiang City, walked out with a smile: "Old Thirteen, you haven't been to my place for a long time."
Ji Pingqiu is tall and slender, with a goatee and a light yellow python robe. He looks noble.
Ji Yanchou hurriedly saluted and said sadly: "Uncle Emperor, the Great Zhou Dynasty is about to perish!"
Ji Pingqiu's expression changed: "What happened?"
Ji Yanchou informed the cause and effect, and Ji Pingqiu said bitterly: "No wonder there was an edict before that I went to Beijing for funerals, so that's what happened. Humph! I have inherited the world for hundreds of thousands of years, and even a small Holy Spirit Cult dares to do so. Don’t worry about the rebellion, nephew, I will gather all the troops from all the princes and go to the capital to serve the king!"
Hope rekindled in Ji Yanchou's eyes: "Thank you, uncle!"
…………
In Wujiang City, Dongfang Han had a candied haws gourd in one hand and was eating sweetly, but Jiang Fan behind him was carrying a candied haws gourd stand with a sad look on his face: "Sister Dongfang, let's go find that prince first, he shows his face here. , I’m afraid of being caught by my two masters.”
"This is the first time I've seen a disciple fear the master."
"I ran out secretly. The two masters didn't want me to come out. If I bumped into them, they would definitely take me back."
"You haven't told me how you recognize the two masters."
"It's a long story..."
The bitterness faded from Jiang Fan's face as he recalled what happened before...
…………
That day, Jiang Fan, Xu Hong and others were hunted down. Jiang Fan fell into a valley. The valley was really a fairyland. The ground was full of magical medicinal roots. When he encountered such an opportunity, Jiang Fan fell into a valley. Fan Zi was so happy that he hurriedly started picking.
Just as he was thinking about a blessing in disguise, a figure suddenly came over: "Little thief, if you dare to steal my herbal medicine, I can't spare you!"
Jiang Fan was startled and quickly looked up, only to see that the person coming was a woman: "The bright moon is not enough, nature is pure and pure. The brows are furrowed and angry, and it is even more cute and moving. The cardamom does not need to be embellished, the graceful and graceful yellow Skirt. May the world's fatal diseases be cured, leaving only the medicine stand gathering dust."
The woman looked at Jiang Fan and grabbed him: "Little thief, return my medicinal materials quickly!"
Jiang Fan was moved by the woman's appearance for a moment, and then asked an urgent question. His face was red and his heartbeat was beating like a drum: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know there was anyone here. I...I won't steal, I will pay you back."
As he spoke, Jiang Fan took out the medicine basket and placed it in front of the woman: "They are all here."
"Are they all here?" The woman stared at Jiang Fan suspiciously.
Seeing that he didn't believe him, Jiang Fan hurriedly said: "I never lie to people. If I lie to you, then... then let me eat the frost grass. I will burn to death in one moment and freeze to death in the next."
The woman heard this and smiled: "How can anyone die twice? Do you still have two lives?"
This woman's smile is like a spring peach in February, a green lotus in June, a yellow flower in September, and a red plum in the twelfth lunar month. She is so charming and charming, and her innocence is enchanting.
Jiang Fan was stunned again and didn't know to reply.
The woman didn't check the herbs, but just asked him: "Hey! What's your name, and how did you fall into my Jishi Valley?"
Jiang Fan said: "I was chased and knocked unconscious. I don't know how I fell here."
After hearing this, the woman reached out and grabbed Jiang Fan's wrist, carefully examined him, and when she saw that he was fine, she let him go and said, "Huh! He's so brave and fierce, but he looks like a jerk at first glance."
Jiang Fan was anxious, and his face turned red when he was anxious: "Who said that? I'm not the one who said that. I didn't provoke them, they came to bully me."
"That's even more wrong. Only those who have no ability are bullied. You look like a big fool."
"I'm not stupid. My master praises me for being smart. I can memorize the books he gave me in a day. I can even name the herbs you have here."
"Oh? Are you still a medical student?"
"I am an alchemist!"
"Haha, why does your neck straighten up when you mention this alchemy? Okay, okay, since you are so confident, I will test you. What do you think this is?"
"Centennial flower is cold in nature. Its flowers can reduce swelling and relieve pain, and its leaves can dispel heat and dehumidify. The flowers and leaves are one of the ingredients of Di Shui Dan and Sha Jin Dan respectively."
"There are still a few more moments, then I'll ask you this again!"
"..."
The woman asked about seven or eight medicinal materials in a row, and Jiang Fan answered fluently, which made him feel more confident.
The woman said: "Okay, I see you still have a few moments left. Your master has taught you well. I'll see you if I have the chance."
When Jiang Fan heard this, he lowered his head and said, "My master has passed away for a long time."
Instead, the woman looked delighted: "Really? That's great!"
Just when Jiang Fan was about to get angry, the woman grabbed him and ran into the valley: "From now on, I will be your master, and you will be my apprentice!"
"ah?"
The valley is closed on three sides, and the only exit is blocked by a maze, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter.
The medicinal materials at the mouth of the valley have surprised Jiang Fan. He didn't expect that there were more elixirs in the valley and the vintage was better.
There is a stream in the valley, and next to it is a small courtyard, which is the woman's residence. The small courtyard is full of harvested medicinal materials, dried and processed, and full of medicinal fragrance.
The woman pulled Jiang Fan into the hospital and said: "From now on, you will stop refining elixirs and study medicine instead. I will give you everything I know. Kowtow!"
Jiang Fan was not willing to listen: "I don't want it, I want to be an alchemist, and I have a master."
"Your master is dead, so why are you still an alchemist? Besides, to study medicine, you also need to be able to make alchemy, so there is no conflict. Okay, kowtow to your master."
"This... this is too fast, and I don't know who you are yet, how could I..."
"It's really troublesome!"
The woman stepped forward, grabbed Jiang Fan, forced him to kneel down and kowtow to herself: "Ouch! Ouch!"
After finishing, the woman clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you kowtow to me. Even if we are officially master and apprentice, we can't regret it!"
Jiang Fan stood up and rubbed his forehead, curled his lips and said, "You forced me to do this, not counting."
"Fortunately, I still have a spare room here. You can clean it up and move in by yourself."
