late at night
In the study, a young man with tied hair was holding a scroll of bamboo slips. His expression was a little dazed. It seemed that he was distracted and distracted, and his mind was not on the bamboo slips. If those old masters who were responsible for enlightenment saw it, they would definitely pick up the ruler and hit the head hard several times.
The bamboo slips were all held upside down and the words were upside down. Is this how you read? Do you know how much it cost your parents to give you the qualifications to read and practice calligraphy?
Touching the bamboo slip in his hand, the young man's thoughts had long since disappeared:
Nowadays, the world is a world where the emperor of Zhou divided the princes into feudal states. The era of conquest of ritual and music from the emperor has passed, and the era of conquest of ritual and music from the princes has arrived.
Back then, when Fengming Xiqi, the still young King Wu directly tamed the phoenix will in his bloodline and turned it into his own use, he also directly introduced the phoenix bloodline into the bloodline that was most suitable for his family.
After destroying the Great Shang and becoming the common master of the world, the bloodline passed down was revered as the first bloodline in the world. At that time, the Emperor Zhou was born with the strength of a local uncle in ancient times, and when he reached adulthood, he had the strength of the four previous dynasties. The strength of the great princes.
At that time, each generation of Zhou emperors was as dazzling as the sun in the sky, shining on the world as far as the North Sea in the north, the rainforest in the south, Kunlun in the west, and the East China Sea in the east. No one dared to resist.
However, good times do not last long. As the saying goes, you will prosper with this, and you will perish with it. The powerful power obtained by relying on blood will also be lost due to the decline of blood.
Several years later, passed down from generation to generation, the blood of King Wu in Emperor Zhou's body gradually became thinner and his strength became weaker and weaker. Naturally, he was unable to suppress the world and maintain order.
Although the lineage of Emperor Zhou has indeed declined, this does not mean that the princes surnamed Ji have declined. It just means that the power of the world has fallen from the direct line of Emperor Zhou, the direct line of King Wu, to the princes surnamed Ji.
These princes surnamed Ji are also of the bloodline of King Wu. Perhaps their ancestors are just branches of a certain concubine, who was just an inconspicuous concubine at the time, but their descendants are worthy of success.
However, the good times still did not last long.
After the era of Emperor Zhou and the era of princes surnamed Ji, the princes not surnamed Ji are rising. Today, the contradiction between the princes not surnamed Ji and the princes surnamed Ji has become the mainstream.
At the same time, Qi practitioners who don't pay much attention to bloodline are also quietly rising.
Regardless of whether they are princes surnamed Ji or princes not surnamed Ji, what matters is that all the princes, generals and ministers have the same kind of blood. If there is a battle between the same bloodline, those with shallow bloodline will not even be able to fully display their strength when facing those with deep bloodline.
This is a bloodline world where the thicker the bloodline, the stronger the strength, and the higher the status. But Qi practitioners don't pay much attention to blood. Although strong blood is indeed beneficial to Qi training, even if you don't have blood in your body, it won't affect your breathing and Qi training.
Therefore, in the era when Emperor Zhou was still around, the Qi practitioners could only stay in a remote corner, struggling to support themselves. The biggest wish of the Qi practitioners at that time was not to interrupt their family's inheritance. in hands.
When the princes surnamed Ji were at their peak, the situation of Qi practitioners was slightly better, but at that time, the most they could do was serve as a disciple of a certain prince to ensure that the inheritance would not fade, which was the limit.
When the princes surnamed Ji declined and the princes not named Ji rose, Qi practitioners could finally for the first time openly travel among the countries, and even act as officials and ministers, taking charge of the lifeline of a country openly and spreading their own ideas. .
For example, in Chao Kingdom, Taoist Tianyan arrived 800 years ago and assisted the king who was still a young master at the time to ascend to the throne of the country. Later, the monarch reciprocated the favor, and Taoist Tianyan became the minister of Chao Kingdom and ruled Chao Kingdom. Since then, Chao Kingdom has The number of Taoists in the country has increased sharply, and the number of Taoist officials and people in the country has also continued to increase.
Everything looks beautiful. But today, the most worrying thing happened - just a moment ago, the monarch issued an order to exterminate the Tao!
A quarter of an hour ago, his father Jiang Yan used the secret method of blood to convey to Jiang Hua the changes in the capital - the Meishan Incident - before his death.
"Destroy the Dao Order!" Jiang Hua kept repeating these three words.
In this current era, Dao-killing orders are actually very rare. Generally speaking, when this order is issued, all Taoists in the country will be wiped out. This means that from now on, we will fight to the death with the Taoist group.
If it were the time of Emperor Zhou, no one would take Taoists seriously.
If it were an era when princes surnamed Ji ruled the world, the great princes could still regard the Taoist's revenge as a joke.
But today's Taoists have completely risen. Li Sheng, who is in Luoyang and has transformed into thousands of people, Mo Sheng, who is in East China Sea and often kills evil dragons, and Kong Sheng, who has three thousand disciples and travels around the world, are all the strongest people in the world today. Any one of them , can subvert the entire nest country.
Not to mention small princes like Chao, even big princes like Qi, Lu, Song, and Zheng would not dare to directly destroy Tao. Even if a certain king dislikes a Taoist, the most he can do is expel him.
Jiang Hua, a sixteen-year-old boy, understands these truths. There is no reason why the experienced monarch who has been in power for eight hundred years does not understand!
Therefore, this matter is not just Chaoguo's own affair at all. There are probably many powerful black hands behind this matter, and he may accidentally become the trigger for the beginning of a great era.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hua couldn't help but shake his head.
Great times are all magnificent, but at the beginning of a great era, few end well. The only advantage is that his name will remain in history. When future generations mention this great era, they will say that Chao Kingdom’s Taoist Order was the beginning. So who are the Taoists or lords who were destroyed by Chao Kingdom? Jiang Hua...
If the price of leaving a name in history is the death of his father, the destruction of Yancheng that has been inherited for eight hundred years, the death of 99% of his relatives and friends, and even the complete death of himself, then it’s okay not to leave a name in history!

"Young Master, the king has gone crazy. He suddenly returned to his old age, and then held a banquet in Meishan to celebrate. All the officials, ministers, and Taoists from the capital were invited. Unexpectedly, the king suddenly launched a formation to destroy They were all killed. Before they were trapped, Taoist Master Tianyan spread the news throughout the country through Taoism..."
"Young Master, it's not good, the doctor's soul lamp has gone out. The doctor may have been killed by the unscrupulous monarch!"
"Young Master, the king issued an order to exterminate Taoism, saying that all Taoist priests in the country were to be exterminated. The country is strong and powerful, and we are absolutely no match. The king was simply merciful and gave him a chance. He said that he had done a good job in exterminating Taoism. He went to get close to the Taoists. As long as the nobles take the initiative to destroy Taoism, they will not be held accountable."
"Although the former doctor has been executed by the monarch for being close to the Taoist, as long as you, Young Master, make a contribution in the process of destroying the Taoist, the territory of Yancheng can be preserved. Personal grudges are really insignificant compared with the inheritance of the territory. , I also ask the young master to quickly respond to the monarch’s edict, cut off the Taoist in time, and present the Taoist’s head to the monarch..."
