The queen must start from the head

Chapter 65

"Ah! Help, help! Someone help me!"

In the burning tribute courtyard, countless scholars who were burned by the fire were crying for help desperately.

Wang Wenyun leaned against the gate at the entrance of the Haoshe District, his whole body slowly slumped to the ground, he hugged his head with both hands in despair, tears flashed in his eyes, "It's over, we are all going to die here .What should I do? My father is still waiting for me to give him a champion to go home, let our Wang family honor our ancestors, what should I do now?"

Huang Chang, who had already noticed his presence, couldn't help sighing when he saw that his former schoolmate was now depressed, and looked up at the sky with few clouds and moons tonight.

Judging by the weather, there is no chance of rain tonight.

Is it true that as Wang Wenyun said, they are all going to die here tonight?

Looking at the entire dormitory area at this time, almost all the candidates have already run out of their dormitories.

They were either guarding a water tank that could survive in groups of three or four, or they were accidentally buried in the sea of ​​fire, and there was a large group of people, like Wang Wenyun and Huang Shang, waiting at the gate of the dormitory, waiting for someone to open the door.

There was only one person who sat in her own dormitory from beginning to end, and that was Mu Lian.

As soon as the surrounding flames started to burn, she extinguished them.Even the candidates around her realized that there was no fire in their dormitory belatedly, and they ran out after hearing wailing from all around.

The examination papers on the table had already been put into the bookcase under her feet, and Mu Lian sat in her seat, silently looking ahead.

In order to harm her, those people even went so far as to set fire to the Gongyuan.How insane is this move?
Now everyone in the dormitory area is trapped by the fire. According to the rules of the imperial court, once the gate of the dormitory is locked, no matter what happens inside, the gate is not allowed to be opened before other examiners come to accept the papers.

If she continued to sit here and wait, maybe in the end the entire dormitory would end up with countless casualties.

So is she going to do it?To save this group of scholars who looked at her coldly, even laughed at her and satirized her?Wouldn't it be great to watch those people who once looked down on me struggle to death one by one in the raging fire?

How is this possible?How can you overturn a whole boat of people with one pole?Some of them have no ill intentions towards you, and some of them just go with the flow and do what others do to you. You can treat them as idiots without the ability to think independently!What can a normal person and an idiot compare?

Mu Lian, who tried her best to maintain a calm face, took a deep breath. After realizing what happened in the examination room, she felt as if her brain had suddenly split.

Half of her consciousness called her to save people, and half of her consciousness called her to sit idly by, but... She felt that these two kinds of consciousness were not her own.

Mu Lian, who felt that her body was gradually becoming stiff, called the system decisively.

"System, come and help me find out, what's wrong with my body? Two different thoughts popped up in my whole brain, as if two people I didn't know suddenly lived in!"

The system responded. It only observed Mu Lian's body data at this time, and found the reason.

"Host, congratulations, you have met the opportunity to become a saint! Your accumulation in the Transcendent Realm is enough, and now you are short of this opportunity to become a saint. The different consciousness that pops up in your brain is Forcible interference with your original consciousness, only by finding a way to break through them can you become a saint."

"Break through them? If I can't break through, what will happen? Will I go crazy?"

"Probably so."

Mu Lian's heart sank.

The two strands of consciousness in my mind are still fighting at this moment.

After Mu Lian closed her eyes, she seemed to see two forces, one black and one white, fighting each other.

No, it can't go on like this, she can't go crazy.Luohuang Mountain needs her, and Sancai Bookstore needs her. If she really goes mad, God knows what she will become.

She began to desperately search for her past knowledge reserves in the gap between the two consciousnesses.

Two tigers fight, sit and watch the tigers fight, the fisherman wins...

No, not this one.

There are two hungry wolves in my heart, one good and one evil, which one can survive?

— the one you feed it food.

Mu Lian was slightly taken aback, as if she had sensed something, and continued to search.

The world is not benevolent, and treats everything as a straw dog; the sage is not benevolent, and treats the people as a straw dog.Between the heaven and the earth, is it still like 橐(tuó)籥(yuè)?Virtual and unyielding, moving and out.It is better to keep the center than to talk too much.

When she saw this sentence, Mu Lian's heart moved, she felt that she seemed to have found what she wanted.

These few sentences come from Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", to the effect that the world does not care about benevolence, it has no benevolence, and treats everything like a humble dog, allowing everything to fend for itself.The sage also has no benevolence, and he treats the people like a dog, letting people do their own thing.Between heaven and earth, isn't it like a bellows?It is empty but not exhausted, the more it stirs, the more wind it generates, and it is endless.Too many decrees are more confusing and unworkable, so it is better to keep quiet.

Can heaven be kind and loving?If it has benevolence and love, it has selfish desires. If it likes the East, it will make the wind and rain in the East smooth; if it likes the West, it will make the West rich.In this way, is the sky still the sky?
The way of heaven is public, and it allows everything in the world to fend for itself. Is it just a kind of indifference?Dahua is popular and all things are born, isn't it the credit of heaven and earth?The growth of all things has its own laws, how can the sky interfere?The inaction of the sky is the real action!
The same is true for saints who are public.People work at sunrise and rest at sunset, have joy, anger, sorrow, joy, birth, old age, sickness and death, and saints will not forcefully interfere with people's lives.The sage does nothing, but he does everything.

There is a void between heaven and earth, and man can live in it.

A sage has great love in his heart, not personal love, so that he can tolerate the world.

The enlightenment at this moment was like a bright light, suddenly dispelling all the ignorance and haze in her heart.

Mu Lian felt like she was a woman holding a bright lamp, walking through a dark area. When she walked over and looked back, she realized that the darkness was a mixture of the black and white she had seen before.

Good and evil have never been so clear-cut.

She walked on until she came across a sealed door.

She summoned up all her courage and tried her best to push the door open.

what's in the door
Nothing, nothing.

But at this moment, she could hear her heartbeat very clearly, the sound of blood flowing in her blood vessels, and the whispering of beneficial bacteria in her stomach.

Her understanding of herself has never been so real and clear.

In the next second, a large invisible spring of energy flowed out of the door, washing her body comfortably, and her limbs were full of strength.

If someone stood in front of Mu Lian at this time, the other party would see that the woman was standing in the air with her legs crossed, her muscles and bones were crystal clear, and her body was covered with rays of light, which was a sign of becoming a saint.

In the next second, the glow suddenly became larger and thicker, sweeping across the sky over the entire Gongyuan.

The flames that were still burning in the dormitory area were automatically extinguished in an instant, as if they were kneeling to welcome the arrival of something.

The fire went out quietly.

The scars on those who were burned by the fire began to heal automatically after being swept by the rays of light, and the scabs quickly fell off, and they returned to normal soon.As for those who were not injured, after being exposed to the glow, they felt that their ears and eyes were clear, as if their minds had become much smarter.

More and more scholars gathered together, and they began to search for the source of this glow, until they saw Mu Lian sitting cross-legged in the air.

Wang Wenyun, Huang Chang and others who were also in the crowd were all taken aback when they saw this.

Huang Chang racked his brains to think about it for a moment, and suddenly his hands trembled. He couldn't help but grabbed Wang Wenyun's collar, and said, "This is becoming a saint! She is becoming a saint! My God, I am from the Northern Qi Kingdom." There has been no saint for 500 years! Now there is a female saint!”

In his words, there is no contempt for women anymore.

When a person is just an ordinary person with ordinary appearance and ordinary status in the eyes of others, some people may look down on him.When this person has a certain strength, others may be jealous, envious, or slanderous.When this person's strength is raised to a level that ordinary people cannot reach in a lifetime, and people will only respect her, just like revering a god.

The news of Mu Lian's enthronement quickly spread throughout the whole house.

Almost all the scholars present looked at the figure whose whole body was shrouded in colorful rays of light with reverent eyes.It was as if it was no longer a person, but a god.

Outside Zhennan City Gongyuan.

The local tyrants who came here after hearing that the Gongyuan was on fire were stopped by a black armored army at the gate of the Gongyuan.

This group of people is headed by the Huang family, the Wang family, the Ma family, the Guan family and other forces, and today all direct descendants of these big families are taking exams in the Gongyuan.

The conflict between the two teams was almost imminent.

The old and strong old man of the Wang family took a few steps forward, fixed his eyes on the general of the black armor army blocking the way, and said, "Get out of the way, I want to go in, I want to see your chief examiner this time, and then ask him personally, is it right?" Didn’t everyone in the entire dormitory burnt to death, and he didn’t want to open the door to save people?”

"Mr. Wang, you don't need to come in. I'm right here."

The gate of the Gongyuan behind Heijiajun opened in response, and Yan Song walked out with a group of officials behind the gate.

He glanced coldly at the hundreds of local rich people gathered here, and said coldly, "Once the house is locked, no matter what happens inside, it cannot be unlocked. This is the court rule, and no one can violate it." ! You brought so many people to the gate of the Gongyuan tonight, do you want to gather a crowd to make trouble?!"

The Patriarch of the Huang family also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty Yan, you don't have to come to threaten us. I came here all night because I just wanted to know why there was a fire in this good house area. After all, the children of my clan are in the house. Participate in the township examination. If this is inappropriate, please forgive me, Mr. Yan."

When Yan Song heard the words, he pondered for a moment, and said cautiously, "The fire broke out tonight. I suspect that it was caused by a powerful woman in Haoshe district. This woman's name is Mu Lian, and she is holding the imperial edict to participate in this year's rural examination. I believe everyone Everyone has heard about this matter. In the No. [-] house, she is the only one with extremely high force and the ability to complete such a large-scale arson case. If everyone present is willing to sign the petition, I am willing to use the black yarn on the head as a guarantee for everyone Open the door of the dormitory area, take this woman down, and save many candidates!"

The Patriarch of the Huang family and the old man of the Wang family looked at each other after listening, and they both understood the meaning of the other's words.

This person surnamed Yan didn't even open the door of the house, so he guessed that the woman named Mu Lian set the fire.The consciousness in these words is obviously ready to emerge: First, even if Mu Lian did not do the fire, it has something to do with Mu Lian. If you want to settle accounts, you should find this woman.Second, don't you want to save your own children?The door of the dormitory can be opened, but I cannot be the only one responsible. All of you have to sign and sign. This is called a petition.Thirdly, although this girl Mu Lian can get the edict of the monarch, but I, Yan Song, dare to say that if I want to win her, I must have something to rely on behind me.How do you people choose, please weigh it.

All the people present were fine people. After understanding the meaning of Yan Song's words, they all looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Seeing this, Yan Song narrowed his eyes and was about to continue speaking.

Suddenly, a multicolored glow burst out from the sky above the housing area.

Gradually, the flames in the dormitory area and the faintly audible screams also disappeared.

Mr. Wang was leaning on a cane, squinting his eyes and staring carefully at the multicolored glow, as if he was trying to remember something.Suddenly, he thought of what that ray of light meant, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the Patriarch of the Huang family. The latter obviously thought of it too, and his face was full of shock.

"Someone has become a saint!" The two exclaimed in unison.

Mr. Wang turned his head to look at Yan Song, whose face suddenly became ugly, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Yan, you did a good job hosting this rural examination! I haven't had a saint in 500 years in Northern Qi. Today, the old man saw it with his own eyes. Seeing the birth of a sage, he will die without regrets in this life! But if you want to become a sage, you must first go through the four stages of heaven, earth, black and yellow cultivation, and then go through the realm of the master and master, and then you can become a saint. According to Master Yan , in the entire dormitory area, only Mu Lian is a woman with high strength in martial arts. I am afraid that she is the one who became a saint tonight? She is really a fearsome young man!"

"That's right, the younger generation is awesome!" Patriarch Huang also nodded.

Most of the people present have heard of the name of Mu Lian. Although they don't know what she looks like, they all know that she is a young woman.

Some people couldn't help feeling deeply, "Became a saint overnight, at such a young age, with such an encounter, I am afraid that since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, she, Mu Lian, is No. 1!"

Yan Song's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the words he said before were like several loud slaps on his face.He couldn't stay at this door any longer, no, Zhennan City couldn't stay any longer.

The rural examination ends tomorrow, and he has to leave this place immediately!

Mu Lian's daughter has already been sanctified, and the original plan to destroy Mu may have to be changed.

Now he only hoped that after returning to the imperial city, the master would take pity on his old bones and not punish him too harshly.

Yan Song and the others came in high spirits, and then left in despair.

The multicolored glow in the sky gradually dissipated, and even through the thick courtyard wall, people outside the wall could vaguely hear the cheers of many people coming from inside.

"Let's go too, this incident is also an opportunity for the children." Mr. Wang said with emotion, and left with the Wang family on crutches.

Patriarch Huang glanced at the back of the other party leaving, and then at the tribute courtyard in front of him.

Starting tomorrow, the entire Northern Qi Kingdom should be boiling.Great masters can protect the city, and saints can rule the country. I am really curious what kind of rewards His Majesty the monarch will give to the one inside?
