When the drums sounded, the civil and military officials of the imperial court gathered around the emperor and drove through Qinglong Avenue. Teams of elite soldiers walked in front of them. Pedestrians and traders on the street gave way to clear the way.
The vast ceremonial guard walked through the streets and slowly came to the city gate.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The sound of the drums is long and lingering, with lingering sounds that can be heard hundreds of miles away. As long as you are in the city, no matter where you are, you can hear the drums clearly.
Such a drum is already a sacred and refined magical weapon, and the one on the Chengtian Gate is almost a magic weapon. When the ceremonial guard arrived in front of the Chengtian Gate, the sound of drums spread across the 14th Street in the North and South, and the 11th Street in the East and West. The drum towers of the 108 squares are passed one after another, and the sound of Chen drums washes away the gloom.
The whole upper capital city is filled with the energy of pure yang, and the weaker ghosts will be scared to death when they hear the sound of the drums! Only monks who have reached the golden elixir realm will not be affected.
After the first drumbeat, the gates of the outer walls, the inner city, the imperial city, and the city gates began to open one after another.
From the outside to the inside, the first to be opened are the twelve city gates of the outer city.
Along with the sound of drums resounding throughout the capital, more than a hundred temples in the city also rang their bells.
Hundreds of Buddhist bells began to ring, and the passionate and vigorous drums intertwined with the deep and melodious morning bells, as if to welcome Su Ming's return.
The vast Buddhist charm and the powerful spiritual light of the magical weapon cleansed the capital, leaving no trace of filth behind.
Above the void, Su Ming carried it with one hand, with a hint of amazement in his eyes. It was indeed the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was indeed extraordinary.
Under him, Feng Wuya transformed into a golden-winged roc. A pair of sharp eyes kept scanning the capital formation, full of horror. Even if he tried his best to attack such a majestic city formation, he would still be unable to shake it in half.
Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but think of the scene when the generals of the Zhou Dynasty came to the Hundred Thousand Mountains more than forty years ago. The army of the Zhou Dynasty at that time was majestic and tyrannical.
Even the demon clan of Shiwanda Mountain was forced to leave southern Xinjiang and huddled in Shiwanda Mountain. Decades passed, and the Great Zhou Imperial Master and the first-generation Xuanjing Division Master were no longer around. He thought that Great Zhou had declined. , is no longer the opponent of the demon clan.
But today it seems that Dazhou is still the same Dazhou!
At the city gate, groups of soldiers in black armor stood ready, and the air was filled with tension, and all the soldiers were excited.
At this moment, a soldier climbed onto the city wall and sent a message to the garrison.
After receiving the message, the general guarding the city was slightly stunned. He looked at Su Ming in the sky again, and his heart gradually dropped.
"Hold your troops, that's the National Preceptor!"
"Open the city gate and let the Imperial Master in."
······
"Squeak!"
As the order was issued, the city gate slowly opened. In front of the Xuanwu Gate, all the civil and military officials of the imperial court were lined up. Zhang Daozhi, the chief minister of the cabinet, stood at the front. He was wearing a crimson official robe with a jade belt tied around his waist. His face was resolute and solemn.
He held the imperial edict in both hands and looked extremely respectful.
Today, he is on behalf of His Majesty to welcome the Imperial Master Pudu Cihang.
Seeing the formation closed, Su Ming also signaled Feng Wuya to land on the ground. During the descent, Feng Wuya also tightened his figure, from a body of a thousand feet to a body of ten feet. In this way, the feeling of oppression was not so strong. Stronger.
This scene fell in the eyes of the ministers, making them envious, but in a flash they thought that once they had this kind of power, they would have to give up the power in their hands, and they suddenly felt relieved.
After all, you can't have your cake and eat it too, the path to immortality is illusory, and immortality is unprecedented. Compared with these, real rights are much better.
"Extreme Spiritual Chaos Jue"
At that time, the great Zhou Dynasty was so powerful that even the immortals who looked down upon them and looked down upon them like ants crawled at their feet.
Such a scene is mind-blowing. In the eyes of civil and military officials, even if it is immortality, it is nothing special. When the myth was shattered and the halo disappeared, they were no longer so fascinated by the immortal way.
Moreover, it was true that there were no officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty who specialized in cultivating immortality, but those people who set foot on the path of cultivation did not find their own way. After all, those people were old and had already missed the best period of cultivating immortality.
In addition, when those people were practicing Taoism, they were still disconnected from the secular court, could not let go of their power, and were affected by the dragon's energy, so their cultivation would naturally not go smoothly.
Therefore, most of those officials who practiced Taoism in those days were reduced to nothing, and some even lost their wealth and ended up in a miserable state after death.
Therefore, even if these officials envied Su Ming's strength, they were just envious.
In fact, when the power of the system grows to a certain level, no matter how powerful an individual is, he can only be crushed. In the system, a single individual controls power and can mobilize power far beyond his own. Sometimes, even cultivating immortals cannot compare to the pleasure that power brings.
Life or death is yours, the power is in your hands.
Of course, the power of the system cannot be shaken, but individuals in the system can also be replaced. Once they lose their status and leave the system, that person will become a circle and lose the power brought by power. At that time, he will be extremely weak. , even more fragile than the monks.
When Su Ming saw the court's ceremonial guard and the civil and military officials, he was a little surprised. Then he realized that he prayed for rain in Qingzhou and saved the people of the state. It was normal for the court to treat him with courtesy.
Feng Wuya landed on his feet, quickly retracted his wings, and stirred up billowing air waves. Su Ming flicked his sleeves, and an invisible ripple spread, and the roaring air waves suddenly calmed down.
Immediately, he came to the front of the city and slowly walked towards the team of civil and military officials.
The moment he saw Su Ming, Zhang Daozhi was filled with emotion. He remembered that when he first met Su Ming, he was still a national teacher in name only, and his only role was to explain Buddhist scriptures to His Majesty.
It can be said that none of the civil and military officials at that time took him seriously.
But in just a few years, the former monk became a veritable national master. He not only put down many Yinchao rebellions, but also saved the people of Qingzhou.
Now, he is about to become the mirror master of the Xuanjing Division of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He is a third-rank official in the imperial court and has real power. It can be said that he has reached the sky in one step and has reached a high position that many people cannot reach in their lifetime.
If Emperor Shenwu issued such a decree in the past, the cabinet ministers and civil and military officials would definitely not agree with it. But now, with Su Ming's great achievements, everything has fallen into place. No one will ignore His Majesty's interest, let alone offend him. Su Ming.
But now, the name of National Master is well deserved.
Gradually, as Su Ming continued to approach, Zhang Daozhi saw Su Ming's handsome and extraordinary face, nodded slightly, and immediately lowered his head and saluted.
At the same time, all the civil and military officials of the imperial court saluted and said loudly, "Welcome to the Imperial Master."
