"This sword technique is just right for our family!"
Zhou Yi has extraordinary vision, how could he not know the difference between forgetfulness and unfeeling.
For example, Wuming killed all his relatives and friends to break through the innate world, but he also gave birth to an inner demon. When he performed the sword technique, he was confused and looked like a demon. He did not look like a righteous sword god at all.
Forgetfulness is different, it is a natural feeling that comes from living for a long time.
"My father is lustful, my mother is delicious, and my brother is a fan of officialdom... Most of them are not likely to live a long life. After two or three generations of the Zhou family, our family will forget about love!"
Zhou Yi could understand the state of being forgetful and had no affection for the nine clans, but he knew that it would be difficult to master the sword technique.
Understanding does not mean being able to do it!
Continuing to recite the brocade silk, the handwriting at the back is completely different from the front. It was not written by Qingjing, but was deduced by a master named Hentian Laomo about the cultivation method of the innate realm.
"No wonder Wuming fought so hard with our family and cut off their future..."
It suddenly dawned on Zhouyi that in the subsequent practice process, one must reverse back and forth between the existence of feelings and the destruction of feelings, until the true supreme forgetfulness of feelings is achieved.
As long as people live in the world, they will meet other people, make friends, accept disciples, and get entangled in other grievances and hatreds. This is from being ruthless to being sentimental.
After that, he will execute the method of killing his relatives and friends, and he will become ruthless, and his skill and realm will be greatly improved!
"It's really evil!"
Zhou Yi couldn't help but gasp. No matter how brutal and violent he was, he would still kill enemies or irrelevant people, but the sword technique must kill real relatives and friends.
For example, when Zhou Yi killed his godson, his mood would not change at all, just because they were ruthless and unjust to each other.
Wuming has reached this level of cultivation, and his cultivation insights are written on the brocade silk.
"Disciples are the best among those who have feelings. They are few but deeply affectionate. The level of killing will be greatly improved, and the inner demons will be lighter... So Xiao Yun should be the newly selected disciple of Wu Ming. Through his Life practice!"
Zhou Yi wrote down the core essence of the sword technique, stuffed the brocade silk into his sleeves, and waved to summon the accompanying officials.
"Sir Zeng, the Tianjian Sect's house was confiscated, all the nine core disciples were imprisoned, and all the land and property gained were converted into gold. You keep 20% and send the rest to the Supervision Department!"
"As commanded."
Zeng Fuyin bowed down to accept the order. There were more than 300 core disciples of Tianjian Sect. Most of them were wealthy merchants and gentry in the local area. They would definitely gain a lot from this raid.
Furthermore, if those registered disciples want to be safe and sound, they also need to show sincerity!
Zhou Yi added: "Xie Guerrilla has made great contributions. Our family will personally request His Majesty's order to lead troops to accompany our family to visit other sects."
"As commanded."
Xie Youji said: "Governor, more than 1,800 people were killed or injured in the battle. Although the army was in chaos, it was not defeated. After this battle, it can be said that they are elite soldiers. Can they be incorporated into the lower official's command?"
"Of course, we will never give back the things we ask for!"
Zhou Yi said: "The dead will be compensated with a hundred taels, and the living ones will be rewarded with fifty taels. It only costs about three to fifty thousand taels of silver. As long as you obey our family, you will be rich and noble."
A hundred taels of silver compensation can buy ten people in the dental shop, which is a sky-high price.
The reward of fifty taels can buy more than ten acres of land in the countryside, enough to feed a family.
As the news spread, cheers erupted from the military formation.
Under the leadership of the captain, they all knelt down and kowtowed. The ground rumbled and shook, shouting that the Governor was a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old.
When Zeng Fuyin saw this situation, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he said after thinking for a long time.
"Gong Du, the Tianjian Sect disciples will gain a huge amount of land by confiscating their properties. It is better to sell them to the soldiers at a cheaper price. It will get the best of both worlds!"
"That's a good idea."
Zhou Yi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "In this case, our family won't even have to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver."
Tianjianmen died under siege by soldiers, and Zhou Yi took the majority of the land obtained by confiscating the family, and gave a small part to the soldiers. Instead of feeling wronged, they regarded Zhou Yi as a great benefactor and a living Bodhisattva.
Really the best of both worlds!
Sure enough, as the order was passed on, the soldiers cheered even louder.
Zhou Yi continued to order: "Mr. Wen, summon the supervisory departments of various places to spread the news that our family destroyed the Tianjian Sect and killed the sword god."
"According to the order."
Wen Tongzhi asked: "Governor, we need to use the head of the Sword God for this matter. The Sword God has rarely been in the world in recent years. It is difficult for other sects to believe it by just talking."
An innate master, the pinnacle of martial arts.
It is easy to defeat but difficult to kill, otherwise Eunuch Hai and Eunuch Wei would not have such high status.
"Jiejiejie..."
Zhou Yi threw the nameless head over and said with a strange smile.
"Publish this to the world and let those Jianghu sects see the consequences of provoking Dongchang!"
...
Four years of orthodoxy.
Late October.
The Heavenly Sword Sect was destroyed, and the Sword God died.
As the elders of sects from all over the country confirmed that the head was authentic, the Jianghu righteousness that had originally criticized and scolded Dongchang suddenly felt like a lump in their throats and no longer made any sound. The proceeds from the confiscation of Tianjianmen's house were 5 million taels of internal funds.
The sect, which has been passed down for more than ten generations, is entrenched in one area and has accumulated wealth that even Zhou Yi was horrified by.
The Zhengtong Emperor's eyes shone brightly, and he ordered the chamberlain of the Supervisor of Ceremonies to bring a picture of the Book of Changes to Zhou Yi, with eight large characters written on it with iron paintings and silver hooks.
"There is no place in the world other than the royal land!"
...
Jiajing Mansion.
Houya study room.
Zhou Yi held the brush in his hand and kept writing and drawing on the paper.
Xiao Yinzi, the godfather who was waiting next to him, couldn't help but feel puzzled when he saw the words written by his godfather for more than two months.
"Godfather, why did you only write these few words?"
Zhou Yi glanced at this guy, and he didn't know whether he was really stupid or pretending to be flawless. He placed the brush on the jade pen mountain.
"If Your Majesty likes it, we have to write it. From now on, we will write it every day. If we write too much, we will have to give it away."
"My godfather is wise!"
Xiao Yinzi repeatedly praised: "Only my godfather can use this wonderful method that Jian has in the emperor's heart."
This flattery was good, Zhou Yi was in a good mood and asked.
"General Xie, how is your military training going?"
"He really became an elite soldier!"
Xiao Yinzi described: "Our family went to the military camp several times and saw the billowing evil spirit from a distance. We were so frightened that we didn't dare to get close. We called the general to thank him and carefully asked a few words.
After wiping out the Tianjian Sect, Xie Youyi was promoted to the fourth rank of General, barely earning the title of general.
What's more important is that he has obtained His Majesty's permission, and General Xie will prepare and train troops, and pursue the taxes owed to other Jianghu sects for occupying mountains and land over the years. Five million taels for nothing!
Zhou Yi said with great interest: "Tell me carefully."
"Since the news of the Tianjian Sect's pensions and rewards spread, the young men of Jiajing Mansion have joined the army enthusiastically, and many people have even come from the surrounding prefectures."
Xiao Yinzi said: "General Xie carefully selected and collected ten thousand. It is said that only one of ten people can be selected. Those who were not selected are reluctant to leave..."
"This is not okay!"
Zhou Yi interrupted: "People come all the way to work under our command, how can we neglect them? Remember to tell General Xie that as long as you are qualified, you will stay in the army."
Xiao Yinzi worriedly said: "Your Majesty only allows ten thousand..."
"We have ten thousand formal soldiers under our command, and there are auxiliary soldiers such as cooks and cart drivers. They do not need to be paid by the court, so they do not need to be counted in the ten thousand.
In the front, the king of Zhenbei supported his own troops, and in the second, there were three thousand soldiers to contain the sword god. Zhou Yi naturally hoped that the more soldiers under his command, the better.
"My son understands."
Xiao Yinzi continued: "According to what General Xie said, after training for another half a year and mastering the military formation, two or three sword gods can trap him to death!" "Very good."
Zhou Yi said: "Tell General Xie that the food of the soldiers must not be lacking. As long as they are willing to work hard for our family, it is normal to eat well and drink well!"
While he was talking, Wen Tongzhi's voice came from outside the door.
"The lower officer pays homage to the Governor."
Zhouyi
Said: "Mr. Wen, no need to be polite, please come in quickly."
Wen Tongzhi pushed the door open and came in. He bowed and saluted and said, "Duke, the announcement to the world has been completed. All Jianghu sects know that you have killed the sword god Wuming!"
"Jiejiejie..."
Zhou Yi laughed strangely and said, "Those guys called our family a castrated dog every day, and now they have killed the Sword God. Have they become a great devil?"
"The Governor made a mistake in his recollection."
Eunuch Wen said: "According to the report of the spies of the Supervision Department, those sects who have seen the head of the Sword God, no matter whether they are good or evil, no longer dare to say the word castrated dog, and those who see the Dongchang fan will take a detour!"
"Humph, they are all bullies who are afraid of the strong. They make our family look good for nothing."
Zhou Yi showed disdain on his face, thinking that the righteousness of Jianghu would persist for a longer time, so it would be better to hold an alliance and shout the slogan of joining forces to eliminate demons, or label them as rebels.
Wen Tongzhi asked: "Duke, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Do you want to go back to Beijing?"
"Our family is after school for Your Majesty, so there is no special holiday."
It has become instinct for Zhou Yi to show his loyalty anytime and anywhere. Even if he is drunk or talking in his sleep, he will shout long live and turn to look at the Daqing territory map hanging on the wall.
"Jiajing Mansion is in a good location, close to everything from the southeast to the northwest."
Pointing to Zhangshan Mountain, he asked, "Is there a Jianghu sect on this mountain?"
"Go back to the Governor, Cang Ming Temple is in Zhangshan Mountain."
Eunuch Wen said: "Cangming Temple has been passed down for more than a hundred years, and our ancestors have produced two real people who were canonized by the imperial court, and they can be called the leaders of Taoism."
"The one we beat is the leader!"
Zhouyi said: "Sir, please send people to spread the news. In the spring of next year, Dongchang troops will be sent to Zhangshan."
Wen Tongzhi reminded: "Duke, Buddhism and Taoism are not easy to mess with. Their background is unfathomable. Do you really want to attack Cangming Temple?"
"Whether we fight or not, our family doesn't know."
Zhou Yi said: "First spread the news, see what's happening in Jianghu Sect, and then make follow-up plans."
Wen Tongzhi seemed to have some realization and immediately bowed to accept the order.
...
Dongchang is about to besiege Cangming Temple!
When the news came out, the world was shocked.
Many Jianghu people who claimed to be righteous rushed to Cangming Temple, shouting to help.
There are also evil heretics gathered together, planning to take advantage of the situation and seize the inheritance of Cang Ming Temple.
Never thought about it.
The master of Cangming Temple announced that he would seal the gate of the mountain and would not let anyone in, including the righteous warriors who came to help with the martial arts.
The spring of the fifth year of Orthodoxy.
News came out from Dongchang that the target of attack had been changed.
The change from Cang Ming Guan to Gui Yuan Sect in the south immediately aroused a lot of discussion, and a lot of true and false news leaked out in the world, such as Cang Ming Guan secretly colluding with Dongchang!
Half a year has passed by in a blink of an eye.
June.
Summer is hot.
There were four ice mirrors placed in the study room of Houya, and the maid held a fan to blow the air. The temperature seemed as cool as spring and autumn.
Zhou Yi's martial arts cultivation has already reached a state where it is impervious to cold and heat.
However, the newly arrived Tang Fuyin is very sensible. The Governor can be used without him, but he cannot be without him!
Zeng Zhiyuan, the former Yin of the Prefecture, wrote a letter on the law of inventorying the land, which was highly praised by the Zhengtong Emperor. He was transferred to the capital at the beginning of spring and paid the official title of Minister of Household Affairs.
Both are second grade, and the difference between the two can be described as cloud mud.
With the promotion of memorial strategy, if the effect is remarkable, promotion to the position of minister is like picking something out of a bag.
Zeng Shilang asked someone to bring him a letter of thanks. Zhou Yi did not reply. Instead, he asked Fanzi of the Supervision Department to send a verbal message. If he really wanted to join the cabinet, he should not have any further contact with him.
You can also scold a few castrated dogs in private to win support from those who are clear-minded.
Zhou Yi didn't need Shilang Zeng's gratitude, or even the convenience he opened. He just wanted Shilang Zeng to be on his side at a critical moment in the future.
"There is no place in the world other than the royal land!"
The Book of Changes was written in just a few strokes, with iron calligraphy and silver hooks, and was given by Your Majesty.
The characters are generally the same.
The title of the Zhengtong Emperor is not very good. Counting his status as an emperor, he can only be of average or above average level, far less than the great masters.
Yin of the Tang Dynasty sought out famous calligraphers from Jiajing Mansion to exchange calligraphy with Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi decisively refused, so we have to write according to His Majesty's handwriting, even if the calligrapher comes, we will not change it!
The Yin of the Tang Dynasty was also a wonderful man. After pondering over the truth, he sincerely requested a calligraphy from Zhou Yi. After taking it home, he copied it and abruptly lowered his calligraphy level.
"No one who can become an official of Fuyin is an idiot, and they are really thick-skinned!"
While practicing calligraphy, Wen Tongzhi came in to report.
"Duke Du, Master Fang Zheng, the master of Vajra Temple, heard that Du Gong is proficient in the magical power of Vajra Indestructibility, and specially ordered his disciples to come to summon him and invite him to go to the temple to debate the Dharma."
"The wait is finally here!"
Zhou Yi said: "Our family has admired the Buddhist heritage for a long time. I will not refuse Master Fangzheng's invitation. The debate will be scheduled in one month."
In the past six months, there have been constant rumors in the world.
Today I heard that Dongchang was attacking the Nirvana Sect, and tomorrow I heard that soldiers were besieging the Yangling Sect.
As rumors continued to confuse the public, such as Cang Ming Guan surrendering to the imperial court, it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and for a while, the Jianghu sects could not believe their colleagues.
If a wolf is lured into the house, wouldn't the ancestral foundation be destroyed?
The news spread by Dongchang was not a random fabrication. There were really sects that came to join them, such as Huashan Sword Sect, Jiuxingguan, etc., and the leader secretly took over the position of Supervision Department.
On the surface, they are shouting about joining forces to eradicate the castrated dogs, but in fact they are waiting for the credit to be delivered to them!
Zhou Yi was practicing calligraphy in Houya's study, looking calm and calm, as if he didn't care about anything, but in fact, the reputation of "Dongchang Governor" has become a taboo in the world.
Not the right way, not the devil, but a sharp sword hanging on the neck.
Jingang Temple is the leader of the righteous path in the world. Seeing this situation, it is helpless to invite Zhou Yi to come and argue.
Wen Tongzhi asked: "Governor, do you want to lead troops there?"
"certainly."
Zhou Yi said coldly: "We are willing to visit just to give those bald donkeys face. If we are shameless, then we will burn the Vajra Temple and stain Qingling Mountain with blood!"
A few days later.
Zhou Yi led 500 Dongchang fans, 10,000 elite soldiers and 20,000 auxiliary soldiers, and attacked the Vajra Temple with great momentum.
There are tens of thousands of people, and it’s a mighty place.
Jiajing Mansion was full of spies from Jianghu sects. Seeing this situation, they sent messages to the sect one after another. They all said in the messages that the Vajra Temple was in trouble and that the thousand-year-old temple might be destroyed by this calamity!
