"Oh? So, that fairy was captured by the emperor?" Cui Shouxian raised his eyebrows and said, "This faint king has just been promoted to a martial saint, but he has such strength that he can compete with the immortal in the spiritual realm. anti?"
The reason why the three major martial arts holy places have always been able to produce an endless stream of masters and are superior to the entire martial arts world is precisely because their mountain gates all have a gap that is connected to the spiritual realm, or a spiritual spring, or the tree hole of a thousand-year-old tree. , or a hollow Buddha statue.
It is precisely because of the existence of these gaps leading to the spiritual realm that among these three martial arts holy places, there is also some slightly free spiritual energy in the void, nourishing the bodies of the warriors inside.
Coupled with the various rare treasures occasionally obtained and passed down from the spiritual realm, it is guaranteed that the masters of the three major martial arts holy places will always be better than other martial arts sects in the martial arts.
The spiritual springs, sacred trees, and ancient Buddhas in the door have also become the core secrets of the three major martial arts holy places. The nourishment of the thin spiritual energy in the door is also the reason why the masters in these martial arts holy places are reluctant to go down the mountain.
If you go down the mountain once and enter a world with exhausted spiritual energy, you may lose a year of your life.
In the past ten years, the situation in these three martial arts holy places has been different.
Through the spiritual springs, sacred trees and even ancient Buddhas in the door, they were able to get in touch with some immortal cultivators in the spiritual realm!
The elixirs and various so-called "immortal martial arts" inheritances from the immortal sects immediately increased the strength of the three martial arts holy places to a higher level, and also made them invisibly become vassals of those spiritual realm immortal sects.
However, as their strength grows, the warriors in these martial arts holy places also have other thoughts.
Are those so-called immortals in the spiritual realm really that powerful? Otherwise, why haven't we really seen them appear in this world?
At this time, they received the news that the immortal cultivator Yan Ran was very likely to be captured by the emperor, and all the three martial saints present had ripples in their hearts.
Immortals, immortals, are known to live in the spiritual realm, are aloof and omnipotent. Now it seems that these martial saints are not bad at all!
Even a young emperor who is newly promoted to a martial saint can easily control an immortal. It will only be easier for them who have been martial saints for many years.
Monk Shitian smiled slightly, clasped his palms together, and loudly announced the Buddha's name:
"Amitabha, it seems that this immortal in the spiritual realm is nothing more than this. The young monk needs to stretch his legs."
Dao Yan also smiled and said:
"So, the two fellow Taoists and Pindao thought of going together... Although this earthly world is vast, the three major martial arts holy places that I have suppressed for many years are nothing more than this. There is no fresh meaning. On the contrary, the spiritual realm is really fascinating. .”
"After the faint king is suppressed, the world is at peace, and the world is at peace, Pindao is going to go to the spiritual realm to see who the so-called Immortal Sect members are stronger and weaker than Pindao's immortal martial arts."
"Not bad!" Cui Shouxian was equally enthusiastic at this time. He stroked his beard, his eyes were as bright as a torch, and he said loudly:
"As the saying goes, there are people outside the world and there is heaven outside. Our three major martial arts holy places are only limited to this wilderness. It is really aggrieved... Since there is such a spiritual realm, those so-called immortals can do it, but we martial saints can't do it?"
"Perhaps, this will be the day when our three holy places take off again! Go to that spiritual realm and achieve the prestige of the three holy places of immortality and martial arts!"
Shitian's eyes were sharp and he loudly announced the Buddha's name and said:
"That's it. The young monk only hopes that my Shaolin reputation can be spread throughout the spiritual realm!"
As he said that, he picked up the tea cup and replaced the wine with tea.
Cui Shouxian and Dao Yan also picked up the teacups in front of them, showing joy on their faces.
They have become martial saints in this vast wilderness. They have no opponents for a long time, and they feel quite lonely in the cold.
Even Emperor Shunlong's so-called achievement of becoming a martial saint and suppressing the four rebels were nothing more than child's play in their eyes.
After learning about the existence of the spiritual realm for many years, and now discovering that the so-called immortals in the spiritual realm are mediocre, they have aroused the desire to overlook the world, explore and conquer the spiritual realm.
The posture of the martial saint is really lonely in this wilderness. Their future lies in the spiritual realm!
Cui Shouxian held the teacup and said slowly:
"I have nine surnames and ten clans. I dominate this world and have sacrificed a lot for the mortals in this world. From now on, I will also be in the spiritual realm and suppress the immortal family for eternity! I just want to kill the false emperor and promote my family!"
Shi Tian and Dao Yan were both born in the Nine and Ten clans. At this time, they both showed excitement and said solemnly:
"Kill the false emperor and promote my family!"
They all drank all the tea in the cups, then looked at each other and laughed happily.
The infuriating energy of the three martial saints caused the strong wind to roar in all directions, blowing up the curtains of the palace-like chariot where they were standing, creating a sense of pressure that was almost solidified in the air.
The sixteen Houtian warriors carrying the chariot groaned in unison, and then the real power in their bodies continued to flow, and they shouted in unison:
"Kill the faint king and promote my family!"
Continue carrying the chariot forward.
The generals and soldiers around the chariot also felt the pressure from the Martial Saint, and they were all shocked in their hearts, and their morale was greatly boosted.
At this time, the entire coalition force of nearly one million people was marching mightily, their footsteps rumbling across the border like thunder, and flags fluttering. They were the handsome flags of various vassal towns and the flags of various aristocratic families with nine surnames and ten clans.
These nearly one million people are all the shogunate tooth soldiers of various vassal towns, the best of the best.
At this time, led by the generals in the army, the sound was like thunder, rolling in all directions:
"Kill the false emperor and promote my family!"
As the personal guards of the shogunate in each feudal town, they also regard being a slave in a noble family as the highest honor, and they also have the same protection for the nine surnames and ten clans.
Everyone understood that they were going on this trip to make achievements.
Emperor Shunlong was ignorant and ignorant, and the new emperor Li Xun had ascended the throne. His reign was Gongde, and his emperor was in Xijing.
The Gongsun family in Xijing, together with other aristocratic families with nine surnames and ten surnames, have formed a new court in Xijing, with a cabinet, six ministries and various court agencies. Even the new Xichang established by the puppet emperor Shunlong It was copied.
All the officials in this new court, big and small, were from aristocratic families with nine surnames and ten clans, and there were no party struggles between the Eunuch Party, the Hou Party, and the Dongzhu Party.
However, the new emperor's presence is indeed weaker. It is said that he has not spoken much in the court these days since he ascended the throne. The four newly appointed cabinet bachelors of the Xijing court, Cui Qiancheng, Xu Yunjie, Gongsun Lin, and Cai Wenhuan, have always been in charge. , and then discuss with other courtiers.
These four cabinet bachelors of the Xijing imperial court are the current heads of the top four families among the nine surnames and ten clans.
Naturally, the imperial court in Xijing is also a harmonious one. There is no longer the various struggles for power that existed in the court of the pseudo-emperor Shunlong when Enhai was in power.
At the same time, taking advantage of the opportunity of the thirty-six vassal and town coalition forces to attack the puppet emperor Shunlong, it is said that the Xijing court doubled the corvee tax several times and collected some new taxes, including Yazheng tax, reverse tax, and coalition troops. Taxes and so on and so forth.
Many small farmers and landowners were overwhelmed and went bankrupt or incurred debts that the new dynasty would never be able to repay in their lifetime.
Fortunately, the major aristocratic families with nine surnames and ten surnames were kind-hearted. During this period, they recruited domestic slaves and servants, which can be regarded as giving a way out to the bankrupt farmers and small landowners.
It is said that some poor families were impoverished by various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and had no choice but to join a noble family and work as accountants or other positions.
For this, I have to thank the nine surnames and ten clans for their generosity.
Otherwise, there would be nowhere to go to ask for food.
The coalition troops marched through Unsan Mountain and passed through the valley, and soon came to a pass. This was a town at the foot of Unsan Mountain, and it was also an important road between Gyeonggi Province and Guannan Province.
In these days, a small pass city has been built, which looks quite impressive, and is called Yuncheng.
At this time, the million-strong army sent 20,000 vanguards to investigate, but soon got the news that the small pass town was empty.
Only a few old and weak tenant farmers and merchants who once belonged to the Yunshan Sect were still in the city. According to them, the garrison in the city had withdrawn a few days ago and disappeared without a trace.
The Thirty-sixth Route Allied Forces did not stop at all at this time, and directly broke out of camp and entered Gyeonggi Province, heading straight for the capital.
Facing such a mighty army of one million, all conspiracies and tricks are ineffective. No matter where the defenders in Cloud City go, the capital is still there after all.
As long as the capital is captured, the false emperor Li Yun will naturally have nothing to hide!
…
In the square outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, tables and chairs are neatly arranged. Tens of thousands of students are sitting at the tables. On the table in front of them are the four treasures of the study: pens, inks, paper and inkstones.
Scholar Ye Huaixiang was sitting among tens of thousands of tables and chairs, looking up at the students present with an excited smile on his face.
Most of these students come from the three roads of Huangji, and many of them come from all over the world. The farthest ones are said to come from Anxi Road on the border of Wu Kingdom.
Among the more than 10,000 people, there are almost no children from aristocratic families, and there are even many children from poor families. The vast majority of the remaining people come from ordinary families, including merchants, small landowners, officials, tenant farmers, weavers and even actors!
Some of them were even more unkempt, with ragged clothes and rags. However, their original homes had suffered a disaster, and they had fled all the way to the capital to beg for food.
He also has a place in the examination room of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The emperor has personally ordered that anyone who wants to take the Enke exam can take the Enke exam, regardless of origin or rank!
There was no such thing as a scripture test, so even some accountants from wealthy families came to the Enke examination room to try their luck.
The more this happens, the more the candidates feel the emperor's mighty favor!
They, common people who are not from aristocratic families, finally have hope!
At this moment, I heard Shao Guang, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and eunuch sitting on top of the white jade elixir in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, preaching loudly:
"The auspicious time has come. Everyone's answer sheet. There are two test questions specially appointed by the Holy One. Every family in the ordinary family has equal acres of land!"
