The sound of the great bell, which contained powerful magic power, resounded through Luoxian Town. The mortals present felt thunder rolling, and their faces suddenly turned pale.
The few people like Wang Lin who had a strong will and could still think clearly felt that a disaster was imminent.
According to the meaning of this voice, could there be Tuoyue disciples hiding in Luoxian Town?
But a Taoist official from a secular principality is too "domineering". He just comes without warning and has to go far away from the mountain to greet him.
As far as Wang Lin knew, Tuoyue Sect's mountain gate should be deep in the dangerous mountains, and Luoxian Town was not even considered a peripheral force.
Now that the Taoist officials of Xia State are so powerful, if Tuoyue Zong, the number one in Liangzhou, refuses to accept it, there may be a conflict or even a supernatural war.
No matter what the outcome is, Luoxian Town will definitely no longer exist, and they will suffer as well.
Just when everyone was feeling anxious, a ray of breeze blew by, and the heavy and oppressive atmosphere dissipated.
A wealthy gentleman in the middle of the crowd came out to greet him with a smile on his face: "Li Hong, the deacon of Tuoyue Sect's outer sect, respectfully welcomes the envoy from Daxia. I would like to ask if your envoy wants to enter the mountain."
Li Hong came forward and immediately caused a sensation.
"Isn't this Shopkeeper Li? He is actually an immortal cultivator!"
"Alas, I can't see Mount Tai, and I've missed the destiny of immortality."
"Fortunately, I have made good friends with him in the past two years. I will definitely come to seek immortality afterward."
Wang Lin also looked in disbelief. The usually smooth and tacky grocery store owner had always been a hidden boss.
The deacons of a large sect like Tuoyue Sect are at least in the Mortal Realm.
While his thoughts were racing, Wang Lin felt depressed because he might not meet the conditions of the Tuoyue Sect.
He was on good terms with Li Hong and would invite him to drink tea and play chess, but after three years, he had not been accepted.
The deacon of the Tuoyue Sect came out to welcome him, and the Daxia envoy clearly stated his purpose: "I am announcing the Kaiji of Zhou Dynasty for the Daolu Division. Duke Xia has an edict and needs the leader of the Tuoyue Sect to personally pick him up. I also ask Deacon Li to lead him up the mountain."
Mr.Zhou? Could it be that he was from the Zhou clan.
With the great rise of Daxia, Tuoyue Sect will naturally not underestimate it and has investigated and understood all the information related to Duke Zhou Bai.
The Zhou clan was originally just a rural clan, but as Zhou Bai's foundation grew, a corresponding pattern within the clan also formed.
It has only been a few years since I cultivated Tao seeds, but I didn't expect that I would be able to cultivate them into the second realm, and they would be the ones with a bright future.
Li Hong couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw Zhou Kaiji's calm aura and calm and confident behavior.
If there are a few more young descendants like this in the Zhou clan and Daxia can survive for a few more years, I am afraid that a huge immortal clan will appear in the north.
As soon as his spiritual consciousness came into contact, Deacon Tuoyue, who had been immersed in the Second Realm for thirty years, clearly understood the gap between the two sides.
Zhou Kaiji will definitely break through to the real person realm before him. With this realization in his heart, Li Hong couldn't help but be more respectful: "I dare to ask the envoy, but the imperial court is investigating the Taoist monks."
In view of Li Hong's good attitude, Zhou Kaiji secretly sent a message and said: "Zhuiyunmen of Changyan County resisted the court's investigation order and was exterminated by our king's army yesterday. All the remaining disciples are wanted by Daolu Division."
In fact, Zhou Kaiji was also a little confused. A few days ago, he led the team to the vicinity of Tuoyue Mountains, but his Shangguan Li Yuanzhen ordered him to hide and wait for orders.
All he needs to do is wait for the dust to settle on the Zhuiyun Sect, and then he can use the power of destroying the sect to issue an order to the moon, and the credit will naturally come to him.
As far as he knew, the other parties did not wait intentionally. Whether it was the real person's plan or care, Zhou Kaiji could not say anything.
Li Zhenren was loyal to the clan leader and also took great care of the Zhou clan's descendants.
Opening the back door, isn't it fair? Young Zhou Kaiji smiled bitterly in his heart. After all, he was being hypocritical.
If the patriarch and his wife hadn't paved the way, how could the family's Taoist entrance rate reach 70%, and how would he have the luck and resources to break through quickly?
It is human nature to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade. As long as the mission of the court is completed and the face of the prince and the family is not harmed, it is fine.
Zhuiyun Sect has been established for 700 years, and there have been no less than three real people in the sect. Now they are being exterminated in an understatement?
Li Hong's expression changed after hearing this, and regardless of the presence of mortals, he continued to use the message method to communicate with the mountain gate.
Fortunately, the mortals in Luoxian Town have all heard the stories in the storybook, and silently observed the extraordinary manifestations, without daring to make any false claims.
Tuoyue Sect has its own verification channels. After a full stick of incense, a stream of light came from afar. It was obviously an instruction from inside the door.
Li Hong was obviously relieved after browsing the information.
In his opinion, the imperial court had good intentions in sending the Zhou Clan to the Second Realm first, and what happened to Zhuiyunmen was really too shocking.
"The sect master, the elders, and the emperor are waiting for the envoy. Please come to the mountain gate to announce the decree."
It was said that at that time, the ground shook, and there was a large formation shifting.
All the illusions used to conceal it all year round were lifted, the ancient trees towered into the sky, and the towering Xianjia Mountain Gate appeared on the top of the mountains.
The spiritual energy there gathers into a mist, among which there are beautiful buildings, jade buildings, and yaocao.
There are also flying swords flying horizontally, and immortal music singing...
Spiritual birds and beasts appeared in all directions, and Tuoyue's disciples drove more than ten white cranes about ten feet in size to fly down the mountain. This was a high-standard welcome ceremony.
As the overlord sect in Liangzhou, they have always been respected by others. Many elders in the sect only vaguely remember that the last time they welcomed guests with such a standard was when they welcomed the Zhenguo Zhenjun of the Daxu royal family.
These welcoming white cranes are all of the second realm and are the embodiment of Tuoyue Sect's heritage. Now they have to carry a second realm Taoist official and a team of guards who have just entered the Tao, which seems a bit reluctant.
So they held their heads high proudly, and the wings that should be stretched out to welcome him were also folded, showing their coldness and indifference.
Cranes roar in the sky.
It's probably meant as a test, so let's stop here and come up on your own.
For Daxia Taoist officials who have undergone stress resistance training, they can force themselves to stand on the back of a crane by posting a light body charm at most, but this would undermine the majesty of the court.
At the moment when the Taoist sect's investigation order is issued, how can it be controlled by a sect.
A show of force or an unintentional move?
Zhou Kaiji pursed his lips. He not only represented the court, but also represented the Duke!
Before the beast control disciple could take out the elixir to appease the white crane, the dragon and carp Taoist robe on his body fluttered in the wind. The tightly held yellow silk edict was slightly loosened, and a line of ink was revealed, and the purple heart leaked out.
"The principles of heaven and earth have their origin..."
The dragon and tiger roared, sweeping the entire place with supreme pressure.
With Jun Zhi as the core, the legal threads extend outward, and then interweave, connect, and cover. The thick red French net appears in the sky and firmly locks the Tuoyue Mountains.
The welcoming disciples gasped for air, Li Hong looked panicked and tried to use his magic power. The real elder hiding in the dark was exposed by the French net. When they looked at the yellow silk in Zhou Kaiji's hand, they couldn't help but show fear in their eyes.
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
"These flat-haired beasts have been wandering around in the mountains for a long time and don't know the etiquette. The sect master welcomes you at the mountain gate and asks you to go up the mountain to declare the decree." An elder Tuoyue, who had extraordinary cultivation, walked up to Zhou Kaiji with the pressure of the law and squeezed He smiled and whispered.
At this time, I looked at the group of tall white cranes. They were all slumped on the ground, shivering, and there was no trace of arrogance left.
Zhou Kaiji snorted coldly. He didn't want to make things too tense. After fully demonstrating the majesty of the imperial envoy, he agreed with Jun's decree.
After a long time, under the personal comfort of Elder Tuoyue, Yingbin Baihe finally returned to normal.
Their slender legs bent down, their proud necks lowered, and they obediently stretched out in front of Zhou Kaiji and his group.
Are the members of the mission stepping on them from the neck?
Li Hong, Wang Lin and others were a little in disbelief. They seemed to see Tuoyue Sect like a white crane, lowering its noble head to Daxia.
唳~
Another sound of crane chirping echoed through the sky, and even the mortals in Luoxian Town could hear the fear and surrender in it.
"The Tuoyue Sect, please welcome the Great Xia Envoy..."
Unknowingly, the welcome standard was raised to a higher level, and the old antiques who were in retreat also came out to greet them.
This is the moment that determines the future fate of Tuoyue Sect, whether to accept the decree or reject it.
On the top of the mountains, the scene was magnificent. Zhou Kaiji looked solemn and solemn, and all the hilltops were filled with disciples of Tuoyue.
The closest ones are the leader of the Tuoyue Sect, the supreme leader, the elders and other important figures. The real person who is usually aloof and even the real king must be ranked below them.
It is definitely impossible to say that he is not excited or uneasy, but as long as Zhou Kaiji holds the yellow silk decree, he is full of courage and strength.
No matter how strong the monk is, no matter how powerful the sect is, now he represents the Duke of Daxia.
"It's God's destiny, the Duke said..."
As soon as Zhou Kaiji opened his mouth, the heaven and earth fell silent, and the eyes of all the surrounding creatures gathered here to listen to the edict.
Inherited by heaven, originally only the emperor dared to use it, but it was to inherit the destiny of heaven, and it would be taboo for others to use it.
But who is Zhou Bai, he is just one step away from being the son of destiny, and he has no taboos in saying that he will inherit destiny.
Taking Liangzhou this time and unifying the Taoist sects within the territory is the first step to declare his ambition.
The connection between heaven and earth has been established for a long time, and the will of humanity has reached its peak in the human world. Now even if the heaven and earth reopen, the heavenly court will still have many concerns about its actions.
The eight big characters came out from a steady and powerful sound, hanging in the sky with golden light shining.
"The latitude and longitude of the sky, the principle has a great return. The Tao of heaven is orderly and timely, has degrees and festivals, changes and is constant... Daxia has inherited the heaven and obeyed the people, and has thousands of things. We should trace the origins of all sects... All monks who enter the Taoism , all need to register for the assessment and receive the ultimatum..."
As Jun's edict was read out, the situation in the world changed, and the power of laws from all directions gathered crazily to monitor whether the recipients of the edict were obedient.
What's the meaning? !
From now on, orthodox monks must pass the assessment of the Great Xia court and be recognized after issuing ultimatums?
In the previous dynasties, it was true that the government did not manage Taoist priests, but it was only limited to ordinary people.
What Xia Guo needs to do now is to expand the scope of management to the entire world of immortality.
"Those who hold the Taoist ultimatum are true Taoists and can participate in the Taoist official examination and accept Tianya Pavilion tasks...those without the Taoist ultimatum are all called wild cultivators and are not protected by the imperial court. They are not allowed to enter or leave the city, and are not allowed to use the imperial spiritual land... …”
No wonder Zhuiyun Sect was unwilling to accept the order. The monks of their sect had never been subject to such restrictions.
Zhou Baimo doesn't want to recreate the ancient era of emperors?
The cultivators of the Tuoyue Sect were in an uproar. Even though the Dragon and Tiger Law Network was monitoring the sky above, they couldn't help but start communicating privately.
"Even if the two states of Dingliang are not as good as the Central Territory, there must be dozens of large and small sects. Duke Zhou's appetite is too big."
"Isn't this the same as being a scholar? Those who register as Taoists are the true Taoists. If the court wants to recruit us, don't be too simple."
"Alas, give me freedom or give me death!"
"Why don't you...shush, shut up..."
The middle and lower class disciples of Tuo Yue had many opinions. Tuo Yue Sect Master and other Yang Shen monks could not suppress their emotions after hearing the details of the decree.
After the edict was read out, everyone was waiting for the response from Master Tuoyue.
"My lord, this is too overbearing." Leader Tuoyue glanced around with his spiritual consciousness. The mountains were locked, and he felt like he was in a quagmire. However, he still looked at the sky and handed over his hands, trying to reason.
"The heaven and earth are changing like never before. If a Taoist sect surrenders to the imperial court, it can also gain the blessing of Great Xia's luck. Even you may not be unable to break through to the upper realm."
"Your Majesty has the ambition to guide the heaven and earth, and I entrust the three hundred and five true Taoists of the Yue Sect to understand the current affairs." Zhou Kaiji was at the core of the regional legal network at this time, and his mind was broad and lofty. He also used his ability as an envoy to try his best to persuade.
The benefits and consequences of surrendering or not are almost all clearly stated, it just depends on the choice.
As time went by, the pressure on the Tuoyue Mountains increased, and a majestic fish dragon suddenly appeared in the clouds, looming.
"The nearest garrison is in the county town. There is no military force to suppress it. We may have a chance of survival if we break through other states."
"Thousands of years of foundation, just throw it away?"
"Believe it or not, you two princes, if we disobey, the other one will suppress us."
"A Dharma overhaul that can borrow a country's fate is so terrifying, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of troops driving it..."
Buzz~
In the stalemate, a giant hand dragging the Great Xia Imperial Seal appeared out of thin air, a five-color shadow suspended in the air, and then faced the Tuoyue peaks flatly.
"No, my luck in Tuoyue has been cut by 30%!" An ancient Yang Shen from Tuoyue Sect said in shock.
This is a small punishment but a big warning. If there is any further delay, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Without giving any time to think, Tuoyue Sect Leader gritted his teeth and used the arbitrary power that a sect leader could only have three times.
"I entrust Yue Sect Master Yue Bai to respectfully accept Jun's decree!"
The sect leader has made a decision, and no matter how unwilling the others are, they can only follow it at this time.
"I respectfully accept the decree!"
Tuoyue cultivators all accepted the decree, and a stream of light blue luck belonging to Tuoyue Sect was shot into the core of the French Open, and the luck changed instantly.
The Tuoyue Mountains, which were originally covered by the formation, were completely under the supervision of the Daxia Law Open, and the shape of the Luck Fish and Dragon was visible to the naked eye.
With Zhuiyun extinguished and Tuoyue lowered, most of the resistance to the Dao Sect's investigation was eliminated.
After the annexation of Liangzhou, Daxia's luck increased day by day, and due to the vigorous implementation of Taoist inspections, it actually had the potential to increase sharply again.
