The techniques in the Sutra Pavilion are so vast.

In the past, Taizu Taizu of Daqing swept across the world, and in the later period, Du Gongma traveled across the rivers and lakes, collecting martial arts continuously for hundreds of years.

It ranges from agricultural techniques such as Iron Leg Kung Fu to secret books of certain sects that have been extinct for hundreds of years. It can be said to be a collection of ancient and modern martial arts.

Zhou Yi originally knew his qualifications and would not sacrifice the near for the distant. Instead, he specialized in the simple and crude Vajra Indestructible Magic.

Now that talents are skyrocketing, even if it doesn't seem like a good thing, we must first increase our own strength.

"No matter what is hidden behind the scenes, even if it is immortals, gods, Buddhas and demons, our family will still attack..."

Zhou Yi lowered his eyes and clenched his fists tightly, as if a tiger was ready to bite anyone. ,

Xiao Liangzi was one step away from innateness, and he was extremely sensitive to Qi. He sensed the terrifying murderous aura emanating from the Governor, and his stooped body became a little shorter, and he lifted a dozen books above his head.

"Godfather, this is the top magical skill in the pavilion."

Zhou Yi flipped through the book covers one by one. Among them, the Epiphyllum Collection, the Vajra Indestructible, and the Heavenly Sword Technique have been mastered, and the Sword Art of Forgetting Love is also among the best, but it was not turned in that year.

Xiao Liangzi bravely said: "Among them, the Buddhist Great Sun Boxing Sutra is the most effective in defeating demons and ghosts, and the Taoist Five Thunder Palm is the most powerful and powerful, but no one has mastered it for hundreds of years."

Zhou Yi said quietly: "You know a lot, kid."

"I dare not hide this from my godfather."

Xiao Liangzi knelt down and said: "Five years ago, a vicious spirit came to our door and tried to induce us to break through the innate laws and betray our ancestors. Our family flatly refused!"

"And there's this thing..."

Zhou Yi believed half of Xiao Liangzi's words. Perhaps he did reject Lao Lu, but it was definitely not out of filial piety.

After more than thirty years of ups and downs in the palace, there are only a handful of servants who can truly be called loyal and filial, and ninety-nine percent of them are brought together by profit.

This is also the reason why the internal servants cannot compete with the civil servants. They only pursue selfish interests and do not form factions.

Zhou Yi put the book in his arms and asked curiously: "How does Lao Lu know that you are about to break through the innateness?"

Xiao Liangzi said: "Our family is also curious about this matter. According to Lao Lu, he understood the method of looking at Qi from the Taoist scriptures. He can judge the level of a person's cultivation through his breath."

"Wangqi?"

Zhou Yi raised his brows, and he met many Taoist people in the world. They had no such secret skills at all. Instead, they were mostly used by street magicians to defraud money.

Xiao Liangzi said: "Our family didn't believe it at first, but the old deer demonstrated the method of refining weapons and claimed that he had understood the cultivation methods of ghosts and immortals and would be able to live forever in the future..."

When the word immortality was mentioned, Xiao Liangzi's voice gradually died down and he did not dare to speak any more.

"Refining weapons and cultivating immortals? Hum, what a wishful thinking!"

Zhou Yi said he was disdainful, but in fact he paid more and more attention to Lao Lu. When he made a sneak attack earlier, if he was blocked by five skulls, he would definitely annihilate all his souls.

"Lao Lu did not practice martial arts during his lifetime. After his death, he realized the magic of ghosts and immortals out of thin air. His understanding is shocking, but it is somewhat similar to our family's talent..."

After a long time.

Xiao Liangzi couldn't hear the sound and looked up cautiously. There was no trace of the Governor.



The sixteenth year of Taichang.

winter solstice.

All officials dispersed.

Zhou Ping'an and his colleagues talked while walking until they left the palace gate and said goodbye to each other.

Then he got on the official sedan chair and ordered his servants to go to Taibai Tower, where he made an appointment with General Xu and others from the Beijing camp to discuss the salt and iron smuggling business in Northern Xinjiang.

"Boy, your official robe is quite majestic."

A voice suddenly sounded in his ears, which seemed familiar. Zhou Pingan suppressed his fear and looked up to the top of the car following the voice.

On the two-foot-square spire, there was actually a foot-long young man hanging upside down. If you look closely at his features, you can see that he is more or less similar to his adoptive father in his memory.

Combined with the rumors in the court, Zhou Ping'an had a vague guess in his mind and bowed his hands respectfully.

"But in front of dad?"

"It's our family."

Zhou Yi said: "I haven't seen you for more than twenty years, and you have grown into an adult."

After the palace change in the sixth year of Zhengtong, Zhou Yi practiced the Sword Art of Forgetting Love, deliberately alienated and forgotten the Zhou clan, and never met his adopted son Zhou Ping'an again.

"Meet daddy."

Zhou Ping'an confirmed the identity of the visitor, stood up and knelt down in the sedan chair, saying respectfully: "My child is able to achieve what he is today, all because of his famous father, who is invincible in the world!"

Zhou Yi asked: "How has the Zhou family been in recent years?"

"Replying to Dad, since you left, there have been frequent murderers coming to the door, trying to kidnap my uncle, but there is another group of unknown masters secretly protecting him..."

Zhou Ping'an briefly told the story of the Zhou family in recent years. He was frightened for a while at first, but it was not until he became a Jinshi, and then was promoted rapidly with the legacy of the governor, that he was shocked by the ordinary Xiaoxiao.

Now he is the Minister of the Ministry of War, he is in his prime, and he will definitely join the cabinet to pay homage to the Prime Minister in the future.

The three generations of young people from the Zhou family have experienced the prosperity and decline of the family since childhood, and have been taught by famous teachers with high salaries. They are different from the wastes of the previous two generations. Most of them have some talent.

Either on duty at the Ministry of War or supervising the army locally, it has become a faction with Zhou Ping'an as the core.

Zhou Yi listened to Zhou Ping'an's story. In the fourteenth year of Taichang, he took charge of the Ministry of War and took a key step for promotion. He was keenly aware that there was something fishy about this matter.

"Could the defeat of Northern Xinjiang have something to do with you?"

"Can't hide it from dad."

Zhou Ping'an was shocked in his heart. He was worthy of being the Governor of Dongchang. He straightened his face and said.

"The child has received his father's inheritance and made good friends with the chamberlain in the palace. When he learned that your majesty sent the chamberlain to oversee the army, he urged the front line to attack hastily. He immediately passed the news to the King of Zhenbei!"

Zhou Yi wondered: "You have a blood feud with the King of Zhenbei, why did you help him instead?"

Zhou Ping'an was originally the legitimate son of the Tang family of the northern Xinjiang family, and his entire clan was killed by the King of Zhenbei, which can be called a sworn blood feud.

"Since the child has joined his father's family, it is natural that his surname will be Zhou first, and then Tang."

Zhou Ping'an said in a deep voice: "The Xie family relied on father's support for their rise. However, when father was besieged by the Grand Master, Marshal Xie sat idly by and did nothing. This kind of betrayal should be punished!"

Northern Xinjiang was defeated and the imperial court suffered heavy losses.

The Third Division characterized the case as a case of Marshal Xie being greedy for merit and underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly. Please sentence the Xie Jiayi clan.

Emperor Taichang was grateful to Marshal Xie for sacrificing his life for the country, sparing the Xie family from the death penalty, and only took back all official positions and rewards. Because Tang Mingyuan deliberately gave in, he completely took over the military power through several operations.

Zhou Yi had no sympathy for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and praised Ping An with his palms in his hands: "Ping'an did a great job!"

"Daddy is crazy about it."

Zhou Ping'an asked in confusion: "Why does daddy look like this?"

Zhou Yi said: "If we practice magical skills in reverse, we can shrink our bodies."

In the few months since he left the Sutra Pavilion, Zhou Yi retreated to meditate on all the exercises, and his understanding of the Vajra Indestructible Magic was improved, and he could control the size of his body through the functions of positive and negative luck.

Zhou Ping'an exclaimed: "My father's martial arts is almost that of an immortal."

When Zhou Yi heard the word "immortal", he felt repulsed for some reason, and then he asked, "Do you know how Gu Xiao ascended to the position of commander?"

"If dad asks others about this, he may not know the truth, but it happens that the child knows it clearly."

Zhou Ping'an said: "When the Gu family brothers were traveling around the world, they met a woman who was looking for her relatives. They helped her out of kindness. After many twists and turns, they actually found out about His Majesty."

"The woman met His Majesty and then left. Gu Xiao attacked and killed his junior brother in a sneak attack, and took all the credit and became the commander of the Zhenfu Division!"

He thought carefully when he spoke, fearing to offend Zhou Yi.

There are rumors in the world that the governor of Dongchang transformed into Yanbo Diaosou, accepted the Gu brothers as his disciples, and then started to clean up the family for unknown reasons.

Zhou Yi asked: "How many people know about this matter?"

"Very few, and they are all His Majesty's confidants."

Zhou Ping'an said: "Haier heard some fragmentary information from the Chamberlain, and also investigated the woman who was looking for a bride, and connected them together to deduce that your Majesty may not really be of royal blood!"

Zhou Yi heard a bit of excitement from Zhou Ping'an's voice, glanced at the guy and said.

"Of course your Majesty's surname is not Zhao. Our family personally replaced the prince back then!"

"hiss!"

Zhou Ping'an took a breath of cold air, adding a bit of fear to Zhou Yi. He stroked his chest and tried to calm his mind, and asked carefully and tentatively.

"Why doesn't dad change his bloodline to that of the Zhou family?"
