"After tonight, Jinling will be at the center of the storm, and more and more evil spirits will sneak into the city and harm people's lives."
Lu Xu took a sip of herbal tea, suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Taoist Han Yu, and said:
"Does the Master know why the court's fortune failed?"
Dragon and Tiger Qi, a derivative of the Emperor's Qi, will protect officials who are officially canonized by the imperial court from all evils.
Now it has lost its effect!
What should we do?
If it were in the past, you could also ask Captain Longhu for advice. After all, this is a matter within Taoism.
But...
Thinking of the unknown national master, Lu Xu couldn't help but sigh and looked expectantly at the little Taoist boy who was less than five feet tall.
Frankly speaking, this scene is really heart-wrenching.
As Lu Li expected, Han Yu silently shook his head and explained: "I don't know, the master left in a hurry, leaving only some magic weapons and books for me to save my life in the future, and then he hurried back to Longhu Mountain The ancestral court..."
After the failure of the Taoist discussion and the death of the old heavenly master, all the Taoist priests who had achieved success were recalled to the mountain gate, leaving only a few Taoist boys struggling to survive in the coming troubled times.
Maybe he also had the idea of planting seeds for Taoism to flourish again?
Lu Li felt that this was indeed possible.
Otherwise, why would a child have so many magic weapons? On the way back, Han Yu said bluntly: Although the master left in a hurry, he drew a lot of talismans for himself and gave him protective magic weapons.
At that time, the little Taoist boy had probably only remembered things for a short time. From this, we can see how serious and complicated the past situation was.
"What do you think my son has to say?"
Seeing that Han Yu couldn't answer, Lu Xu turned his attention to his precious son. If the situation didn't allow it, he would have wanted to ask Lu Li on the spot what happened and why he suddenly became so strange.
Not only was he favored by the great scholars of the time, but he also possessed a shocking force value.
Lu Li felt helpless when he noticed that Cheap Daddy's eyes were full of exploration.
In a father-son relationship, wouldn't it be better to have more trust in each other? They must be tested.
Of course, if this happens, Lu Li can also understand that if one day he returns to his home in the original world line and tells his parents how wonderful college life is and shows off all kinds of incredible abilities, they may act even crazier.
For example: The werewolf ancestry cannot be seen.
Circumstances force people to change.
Only by experiencing the tense, urgent, and depressing atmosphere at the beginning of school can we make up our minds to give up our frail human bodies and transform into a more powerful existence.
Unknowingly, his thoughts started to wander. Fortunately, Lu Li came back to his senses in time to prevent the atmosphere from becoming dull.
I saw him analyze in a deep voice: "When the dynasty was at its peak, there were no rumors of monsters causing harm to the world. When the dynasty was on the verge of extinction, ten houses were empty, and strange stories of monsters harming people were spread everywhere in the countryside."
"As the situation worsened, this situation began to occur even in the imperial capital."
When Lu Li said the last few sentences, there was a noticeable pause. He was weighing his words, thinking about whether to tell the truth about the fact that the imperial court was already in name only, but in the end he held back and only gave a slight hint.
Hearing this, Lu Xu fell into silence.
The answer is obvious.
Only the imperial court itself was in great trouble, and it could even be said that the Ming Dynasty had perished. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the sudden disappearance of the luck of dragons and tigers——
If the country perishes, officials appointed by the imperial court will naturally not be protected.
But... the nobles do not interfere in government affairs.
This is a rule set by our ancestors.
At the same time, when Lu Li saw his father like this, he knew in his heart that all the officials in Jinling were most likely like this. They just wanted to guard Nanzhili safely. Even if Yan had become a paradise for monsters, they would sit back and watch.
After all, more than three hundred years of ease and enjoyment are enough to destroy anyone's determination.
"There are more than forty guard stations in South Zhili, and most of them are in Jinling. If they can be organized and cooperate with the weapons issued by Taoists before they retreated from the world, they may be able to deter ghosts..."
At this time, the junior brother suddenly spoke.
Obviously, he still remembered what Lu Li said when he came, and added: "There are Confucian scholars in Jiangnan Gongyuan. They have great righteousness in their chests and are restraining evil things."
The idea was good, but the actual situation was that it was impossible to develop in this area. Lu Li wanted to pour cold water on his inexperienced junior brother.
First of all, Jiangnan has been at peace for a long time, and the guard station must not be full of soldiers. It is said that there are forty guards, but half of the actual number is considered good.
Secondly, the soldiers have no spirit and may be able to fight with the wind. Once there are casualties, it will cause a large-scale retreat, just like Zuo Qianhu's Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Division.
To be honest, their performance at night was barely noticeable. Unfortunately, the enemies they encountered were so weird that it was normal to be scared out of their wits.
Finally, how many scholars are there who have great righteousness in their chests? Nowadays, there are only fake Confucians left in the world who can write eight-legged essays and think about getting promoted and making a fortune through reading.
Especially along the Qinhuai River, a land of ten miles of fireworks, scholars were obsessed with women all day long. It was as difficult as heaven to find a group of serious Confucian scholars.
"When daybreak comes, I will inform the Imperial Academy of Jinling and ask Jijiu to come forward to coordinate this matter."
"As for the guard station, after explaining the situation, it will be handled by Wei Guogong and several guarding eunuchs."
The four of them talked for a long time, but it was like they were doing useless work. The cheap dad still lacked courage after all, so before leaving, he told his junior brother that Mr. Tiantai must be invited to the city in three days to discuss the overall situation.
It is worth mentioning that Han Yu is temporarily living in the Hou Mansion. After all, no matter how small a fly is, it is still meat. What's more, the little Taoist boy has many good treasures around him. If he can live in the Hou Mansion, he will not have to worry about the safety of the female family members in the mansion. Problem.
Han Yu did not refuse.
Save people in troubled times.
This is what Master often talks about. If he had not violated the order of the ancestral court, he would definitely stay in the secular world to slay demons and defend the right path of the world.
Therefore, Han Yu felt that he must uphold his master's will, not only to help the court, but at least to make Jinling the last pure land in the world, and this coincided with the thoughts of the Marquis of Henan——
The affairs of Yandu are beyond our reach, so we don't think about it anymore and just take care of the present.
As the outsiders left, only Lu Xu and Lu Li, father and son, were left in the front hall.
Then, the atmosphere suddenly became weird.
After looking at each other for a while, Lu Li took the initiative and said tentatively: "Dad, I want to say that I am Lord Greedy Wolf Star who descended to earth. He awakened his true spirit some time ago and is no longer confused. Do you believe it?"
This is half true and half false.
Lu Li is now very sure that there is still a huge gap between him and Lord Greedy Wolf Star, but there is indeed some kind of connection.
On the other hand, there is no big problem with awakening the true spirit. The Lu Li from before was himself in this parallel world. When the time comes, he will naturally come back and fill in all the loopholes.
