In the southern city of the imperial capital, there is a tall building. The overall building is mainly black and solemn. At the main gate, there are two majestic stone statues of Bigan, staring at the people coming in and out with their big copper bell-like eyes.
Here is the headquarters of the Great Zhou Xuanjing Division.
The highest leader of the Xuanjing Division is Chen Faxuan, the Mirror Envoy. He is also assisted by the Deputy Mirror Envoy. Together, they are in charge of the Xuanjing Division to protect the safety of the Sixteenth Road in the two capitals of Zhou Dynasty. Different from the garrisons in various places, their responsibilities are mainly to deal with monsters and monsters, and maintain the safety of the Xuanjing Division. The order of the world of immortality.
The night was already dark, but the Xuanjing Division was brightly lit.
"Lord Qi, the matter in Qingzhou has been dealt with."
On the high-rise building, Chen Faxuan, the director of the Xuanjing Division, looked towards the imperial city with far-reaching eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking. When he heard his subordinate's report, he didn't say anything more and just let out a long sigh.
After a long time, he looked away and slowly shook his head, "Have you cleaned up all your hands?"
Behind him on the right, a young man wearing black armor nodded, his eyes full of determination, "Please rest assured, sir, all the sects that have objections to the imperial court have been suppressed, and no one has escaped the net. "Thousands of lives were lost in these understatement words.
Hearing this, Chen Faxuan did not feel happy. Instead, a look of deep worry appeared on his face. Your Majesty, you are getting old after all.
The Xuanjing Department was established in recent decades. After the Great Zhou Dynasty established the world, Taizu adopted a policy of recuperation and did not interfere much in the practice world. Moreover, the Great Zhou Dynasty also had a royal enshrinement pavilion to recruit experts from all walks of life. It was in an absolute position. The advantages.
But now, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been passed down for hundreds of years, and many things have changed silently.
Before Emperor Shenwu succeeded to the throne, the Kyushu cultivation world was headed by one group, two Buddhas and three demons. One refers to the Kunlun Taoist sect, the two Buddhas refer to the Shaolin Temple, and the three demons refer to the demon sect.
The three major sects represent the three sects of Taoism, Buddhism and Demon respectively. Among them, Kunlun Taoist Temple is the strongest and has a long inheritance. Shaolin Temple has also experienced a surge in strength in recent years and is not to be outdone. Demonic sects are intricately intertwined and have connections with various major forces.
Under the three major sects, there are countless small sects distributed in other states and counties. In addition to the famous and upright sects, there are also some side sects hidden among them.
The late emperor was fatuous and incompetent, and there were even more treacherous ministers causing chaos in the court. Corrupt officials were rampant, which made the people everywhere miserable and provoked civil unrest from time to time. Powerful enemies in the northern grasslands also invaded from time to time, making the borders unrestful.
At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty suffered from natural and man-made disasters, internal and external troubles, and there were some signs of national subjugation.
Fortunately, after Emperor Shenwu came to the throne, he took drastic measures to punish traitors, reform the government, and purge the army. After recuperating, he left the grassland. After several years of war, he finally overthrew the grassland Khan Court in one fell swoop and forced the grassland to surrender.
In just a few years, the Great Monday wiped out the decline and established supreme divine power, recreating the scene of when all nations came to court. At this time, Emperor Shenwu's civil and military skills had reached their peak.
But soon, he set his sights on the spiritual world. First, he integrated the Royal Enshrinement Pavilion and changed it into the Xuanjing Division. Then he subdued the small sects in the spiritual world, increased his strength, and broke the interests of powerful local and powerful families in the spiritual world. carve up.
In this battle in the spiritual world, countless sects and families that had been passed down for hundreds of years were wiped out, making Xuanjing Division famous and famous.
Since then, Xuanjing Division has become a nightmare for all major sects of cultivation, and has become the sharpest sword used by the Great Zhou Dynasty to suppress the world.
But now, forty years have passed since the war. Forty years have made it easy for people to forget the past. In the past forty years, the imperial court was no longer the same court, and Emperor Shenwu was no longer the wise and powerful monarch.
The great war of that year, although it broke Shen Ke and made the Great Zhou glorious again, it also laid the foundation for the decline of the Great Zhou.
When a force reaches its peak, it begins to decline. Since then, the imperial court has successively disbanded the army, put the weapons into storage, and released the horses in Nanshan.
The imperial guards of Xuanjing Division who suppressed the world in the past have aged. Although there is fresh blood to keep their reputation, they are no longer as prosperous as they were in the past. The older batch of immortal cultivators were seriously injured in the war, and most of them have died. It even made Xuanjing Division lack of high-end combat power.
Twenty years ago, there was an earth-shattering turmoil. The imperial court and all the major cultivating sects were severely damaged. In recent years, if the imperial court and the Buddhist and Taoist sects had not united to maintain order in the cultivating world, the Great Zhou Dynasty would not have been able to survive. It is far from the peaceful scene now.
This time, many masters in the cultivation world died due to a curse. The sects in Qingzhou wanted to ask the court for an explanation. However, under the instruction of His Majesty, all the sects that had objections were exterminated, and none of them were killed. Leave alive.
If this incident had happened forty years ago, those sects would not have dared to let go of anything, but now, the situation is different. The imperial capital also became restless because His Majesty wanted to select a national advisor.
······
Imperial City Yangxin Hall.
A large dragon chair stood in the main court, with Emperor Shenwu in a bright yellow dragon robe sitting on it. In front of him was a large sapphire table carved with green and purple patterns, on which were placed various letters, some stacked together, some half opened. Some are scattered, filled with the fragrance of ink.
On the sapphire table, there is a bronze mirror with a diameter of eight inches. The nose button is like a crouching unicorn. Around the nose, there are four directions, with turtles, dragons, phoenixes and tigers arranged according to the direction.
Outside the four directions are placed the Eight Diagrams, the twelve Chen positions are placed outside the Gua, and the twenty-four seal characters are placed outside the Chen animal, surrounding the outline.
At this moment, colorful rays of light appeared on the mirror, reflecting a picture of a dark night, people running away in deep alleys, and various qi forces flickering on and off.
It turned out that this mirror actually reflected all the scenes in Suzaku Street and captured the Qi of those masters.
In the picture, qi machines of varying strengths and weaknesses soar into the sky, which is particularly eye-catching.
After a long while, Emperor Shenwu looked away from above and reached out to press both sides of his temples.
At this time, the old emperor was no longer as energetic as before, wrinkles appeared on his rosy skin, and his brows were full of fatigue. He asked the palace maid to open the red sandalwood box on the jade case, and took out a crystal clear pill. As soon as you step out, the whole hall is filled with the strong fragrance of elixir. Just a slight smell can make people energetic.
Emperor Shenwu hurriedly mixed it with water and drank it. As expected, it was an elixir specially given to the emperor. It took effect as soon as it was taken. After a while, the wrinkles on his face suddenly disappeared, and the fatigue between his brows was also wiped away. His whole body Looks more energetic.
Then, he turned his gaze to the mirror again, looked at the figure on it, and murmured to himself, "Soon, it's coming soon."
At this moment, Emperor Shenwu suddenly opened his eyes wide, with a look of surprise on his face. I saw a vast Buddha light rising into the sky above the mirror, dazzling and shocking in all directions...
