Golden Summoner.

"Yes!" The puppet mechanism nodded mechanically, "All the demigod summoners have fused the military realm beads, and some demigod powerhouses who are not summoners have also been given similar secrets... ..." While talking, he had already led Xia Pingan through a corridor and garden, and up a staircase. On both sides of the passage behind the stairs, there were gates with numbers on each gate. The same as the rooms in the hotel.

9 Chapter Ninety

Xia Pingan is not picky about where he lives, but looking at the two rows of gates on both sides of the corridor in front of him, he also feels that the place where the Tibetan scripture hall lives is a bit shabby. The gates in front of him have school numbers on them , the distance between each gate is only three to five meters. It is conceivable that the room behind the gate is not very wide. For a demigod powerhouse, this place is indeed too cramped. I am afraid that the room is only a few dozen square meters.

Forget it, let's just live in a military camp, it's better than a tent.

Xia Pingan shook his head, comforting himself.

The puppet agent No. 361 led Xia Pingan to the door of the room No. 361. He opened his mouth and spit out a golden key from his mouth. After holding it in his hand, he handed it to Xia Pingan with both hands, "Master, When your room arrives, I will be right at the door of the room, the master can tell me anything you need, it is absolutely safe to live here, and the fusion of the world beads will not be disturbed, please rest assured, the master."

Xia Pingan took the key and took a look. There were countless dense patterns on the key, which cannot be imitated. He nodded and inserted the key into the keyhole of the door lock casually. Where is the sutra hall dining?"

"Dining is in the room. Some food is provided in the room. Of course, the master can also eat in the dining room of the Tibetan scripture hall. If the master needs other food, you can tell me, and I will prepare food for the master. By the way, this key It is specially made by the Sutra Library, please don’t lose it, you will need to pay [-] divine power points for the production if you lose the key!”

[-] divine power points, so expensive!

Xia Pingan muttered to himself, but nodded without saying a word, pushed open the door, and walked in.

I go!

Pushing open the door, Xia Pingan was almost frightened by the scene in front of him.

What appeared in front of him was a large garden of more than 100 mu. This garden was filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, which were fragrant, and the leaves and flowers of many flowers and plants shone with strange brilliance. Some particularly rare plants are only planted here. Their smell and fragrance are like well-mixed advanced medicines, bringing aura to the surrounding space and bringing many benefits to people.

For example, the purple Jiutai Ganoderma lucidum, which is more than one meter high, is like a huge bonsai. The Ganoderma lucidum has grown for an unknown number of years, probably thousands of years. I felt the special breath of Ganoderma lucidum mixed in the air, which could calm my mind and clear my mind instantly.

There is also a plant with golden leaves that blooms like a golden leak. Xia Pingan has never seen that plant before. When Xia Pingan approached, he could feel that the plant could lower the surrounding temperature. The breath from the plants is very friendly to the eyes. When he passed by the plants, his eyes felt cool and comfortable.

And the big tree, like a huge rice over ten meters high, should also be of a different species. There are white fruits the size of a football growing on the big tree. The fruit, smelling from a distance, actually smells like cooked rice. It looks like something that should be eaten directly.

A gurgling stream flows through the garden, and there is a thin layer of mist on the stream. The stream and mist are in harmony with the rockery and pavilions in the garden, which makes the whole garden look beautiful, like a fairyland Same.

More than a dozen palm-sized elf-like creatures with wings on their backs that look like humans are flying in the big garden like butterflies. Some of the elves are holding scissors, some are holding showers, Some were collecting honey, and they looked like gardeners here. They were not afraid at all when Xia Ping'an came in.

At the back of the garden, there is a tall tower-shaped building covering an area of ​​more than ten acres, which is magnificent.

"Space secret method!" Xia Pingan suddenly understood. The room in the Buddhist scriptures hall looks small from the outside, but inside there is a different world. It's just that the layout of the garden should be made by the master, a bit like the legendary The "Tao Medical Garden" where horticulture and medicine are integrated, if ordinary people can live in such a place, they will be healed and nourished by the plants in the garden anytime, anywhere, free from all diseases, and they should live two to three hundred years old. There is no problem, even if he is a demigod, living in such a place is beneficial.

Not only is this place not shabby, but it is simply extravagant. Everywhere is full of care. It is worthy of being a room in the Buddhist scriptures hall.

Looking at this room, Xia Ping'an also had a little more expectation for the classic cheats in the Tibetan scripture hall.

Xia Ping walked through the garden and came to the hall of the high tower building. On the table in the middle of the hall, there was a tray with a black boundary bead and a spiritual crystal on it.

Xia Pingan walked to the table, picked up the boundary bead, and saw that on the boundary bead, there were four small seal characters "Military Merit Noble System", and the same word was on the crystal of spiritual thoughts next to it.

"So that's it!" Xia Pingan suddenly understood.

Xia Pingan immediately put away the boundary beads and spiritual crystals, summoned the boy of the god of fortune, and then walked around the tower. There are different rooms on each floor of the tower, and all the necessities of life are available. It is very particular. Under the tower, there is also a practice secret room. After the Fushen Boy went around, he didn't find any problems. Xia Pingan came to the underground secret room of the tower and took out a formation disk to protect it. After the underground secret room, he summoned Xuanwu to guard beside him, and then took out the boundary beads.

In addition to the "Military Merit System" Boundary Bead, the "Yi Jin Jing" Boundary Bead that Xia Pingan obtained before has not been fused at all. The Boundary Bead is the source of his strength, and he must not slack off at any time, so After Ping An came to the Tibetan scripture hall, the first thing he did was to go back to his room and prepare to fuse the boundary beads first.

Xia Pingan first integrated the "Military Merit System", which was a boundary pearl. During the Warring States Period, the Military Merit System was highly respected by the Legalists. The most thorough and successful country that implemented the Military Merit System was naturally Qin State, but in Qin State Previously, when Wei Guo was reforming, he also implemented a military merit reward system similar to the military merit system, and the military merit system of Qin State did not happen overnight, and there was also a process of inheritance and development, until Shang Yang's reform. Only then did the mature and complete military merit system of the Qin State's "twenty-class nobles" well-known to later generations be fully established.

There are a lot of people and events involved in this "Military Merit System", and Xia Pingan doesn't know what the scene is specifically cut into in this Boundary Bead, so, to be on the safe side, he also used that Boundary Bead A spiritual crystal.

After dripping blood, Xia Pingan was surrounded by a cocoon of light in the blink of an eye, and at the same time, the content of the "twentieth-class nobility" military merit implemented by Shang Yang's reform also appeared in Xia Ping'an's mind...

That's it!

Xia Pingan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this boundary pearl was still not beyond his ability.

……

Among the Boundary Beads...

As soon as Xia Pingan opened his eyes, he found himself in the palace of Qin State. There was a case table in front of him, and the man sitting in front of him was Qin Xiaogong Ying Quliang.

The Boundary Beads have become more integrated, and Xia Pingan is already familiar with the faces and looks of many historical figures in the Boundary Beads. For example, the Qin Xiaogong in front of him, Xia Pingan has "played" twice before, and the first time was Qin Xiaogong He strongly advocated moving the capital to Xianyang. Once, it was Qin Xiaogong who dealt with the case of Prince Qin Si.

Qin Xiaogong looks extremely handsome, his eyes are like torches, and his demeanor is very majestic. He is staring at Xia Pingan, "What is the new military merit system that Ai Qing just said can make everyone of our Great Qin soldiers brave on the battlefield? Please, Ai Qing, please explain in detail..."

991 chapters left in history

"My Majesty, the new military merit system has two main contents. First, all those who have military merits, regardless of their family background, will receive the title according to their rate. Those who win the title will have corresponding food and land in the local area , house, servants and other rewards!" Xia Pingan replied in a deep voice.

"Yes, it should be so!" Qin Xiaogong listened and nodded, "What about the second one?"

"Secondly, the clan cannot be a member unless it has the theory of military merit!"

As soon as Xia Ping'an said these words, Qin Xiaogong couldn't help hissing slightly, and his face suddenly became serious.

Xia Pingan also secretly sighed in his heart, why Shang Yang would be executed immediately after the death of Qin Xiaogong, just look at the military merit policy he formulated. , All of a sudden smashed the jobs of the second generation of the ownership of the Qin State. All the children of the royal family and nobles had hereditary privileges from birth, high officials, rich salary and titles. They won at the starting line as soon as they were born. , and once the military merit system established by Shang Yang came out, if these second generations did not go to the battlefield to fight the enemy desperately, they would have no titles and feudal titles. It's just that on this day, Shang Yang will be hated by the clan and nobles of Qin.

It is mentioned in the history book that Shang Yang's reform touched the interests of the noble class of the Qin State. It is a light sentence, but in fact, behind this so-called touch, I don't know how many royal families and noble families will face bloody life and death. Backlash, how can Shang Yang alone be able to bear it.

"The clan cannot be a member unless it has the theory of military merit..." Qin Xiaogong whispered to himself, put his hand on his forehead, hesitated a little, and asked Xia Pingan, "Is this necessary? Is this too strict?"

"Your Majesty, that's not the case. It is difficult to implement the military merit system. This is actually the basis of the new military merit system. The land, food towns, and houses in the counties of Daqin are all limited. Those who do not have an inch of merit occupy these things, so how can they be rewarded? Even if His Majesty is soft-hearted, but in the long run, how can the country bear a heavy burden, how can there be room for expansion?" Xia Pingan replied in a deep voice.

Qin Xiaogong stopped talking. The reason is very simple. It's not that Qin Xiaogong doesn't understand. It's just that if he wants to implement this strategy, he's afraid it will cause a lot of backlash.

Qin Xiaogong pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly, "How about this military meritorious honor, please continue!"

"The new military merit ranks are set at [-] ranks. The ranks are from low to high. They are Gongshi, Shangzao, Zanyi, Buchang, Dafu, Guandafu, Gongdafu, Gongcheng, Wudafu, Zuo Shuchang, Right Shu Chang, Zuo Geng, Zhong Geng, Right Geng, Shao Shang Zao, Da Shang Zao, Si Che, Da Shu Chang, Guan Nei Hou, and Che Hou, among them, the first and second ranks are the ranks of soldiers, and the ranks above the third rank are the ranks of military officials. Level nine and above is the title of general, and level nineteen and twentieth is the title of marquis."

"As long as the soldiers of the Qin State capture the head of the enemy's "Jiashi", they can be awarded the title of a first-class duke, and at the same time receive a field, a house, and a servant. The annual salary is 50 shi, which is only higher than that of the people. First class, you still need to serve! The more enemies you kill, the higher the title you will be awarded, and the corresponding land, farmhouse, and population will be more. As long as you kill two enemies, those whose parents are prisoners can be released, and those whose wives are slaves Can be turned into a civilian..."

While explaining the military merit system to Qin Xiaogong, Xia Pingan sighed secretly. If this system were put into later generations, those who joined the army and killed an enemy on the battlefield would be given a three-bedroom house and paid 1500 yuan a year. Kilos of special rice, a lifelong nanny hired by a country or corresponding employment fees, and the cemetery after death are all arranged according to specifications. Young people who want to serve as soldiers can crowd the gates of the army, so there is no need to worry about the source of soldiers.The military merit system designed by Shang Yang can be said to be the ancestor of the game of "fighting monsters and upgrading" in later generations. It is almost the "guide to life promotion" for ordinary people in Qin in this era. Even after thousands of years, this The set system still has its unique charm.

Qin Xiaogong is very interested in this system of military merit and nobility, and keeps asking about the details of this system of military merit and nobility, and Xia Pingan also introduced this system of military merit and nobility to Qin Xiaogong completely, from the division of titles, treatment , to the verification of military merits in the army, how to implement them in local counties and counties, and then to the punishment mechanisms such as devaluation, seizing salary, demotion, and punishment.

It is impossible for Qin Xiaogong to make a decision in front of Shang Yang when he hears about this kind of national event for the first time, but it can also be seen that Qin Xiaogong admires this system of military meritorious titles very much.

When Qin Xiaogong said that he should think carefully and let Xia Pingan go back first, the Jiezhu was successfully integrated, and the world of Jiezhu was shattered.

……

In the secret room, Xia Pingan slowly opened his eyes as the fluctuations in Xia Ping'an's body stopped and the cocoons on his body dissipated.

"Worthy of being a representative of the Legal School, this one boundary bead is only a military merit system, and it actually gave a full 100 points of divine power. It seems that these representatives of various schools of thought are making groundbreaking contributions. At that time, the corresponding Realm Jewel rewards are very generous..." Xia Pingan said to himself.

At this moment, with the completion of the fusion of this boundary bead, the upper limit of divine power in Xia Ping'an's secret mandala has become 27318 points, and the time to fuse this boundary bead is less than 10 minutes.

In the secret mandala, there is also a special sculpture. The sculpture is Shang Yang holding up a roll of bamboo slips. On the bamboo slips are three brilliant and flaming small seal scripts, with the words "Military Meritorious Lord" written on it.

That bamboo slip can be summoned.

With a curious attitude, Xia Pingan tried to summon the scroll of bamboo slips once. After injecting 20 points of divine power, the simple and thick bamboo slips suddenly appeared in front of him. The bamboo slips exuded a faint Jin Guang slowly unfolded a part in front of Xia Ping'an, only to see that there were only four characters on the unfolded part, two characters on top were the red word "Military Merit", and under the word "Military Merit", there was a The golden "zero" character and the black "stone" character.

Military exploits!

Zero stone!

"Interesting..." Xia Pingan was slightly embarrassed, but still smiled. He closed his eyes, feeling the connection between the bamboo slip and him. After a long time, he opened his eyes and waved his hand. He disappeared before his eyes, and reappeared in the hands of the sculpture of the secret mandala temple, "This secret method is really magical. The words on the bamboo slips are part of the secret method and cannot be changed by the summoner. Instead, they faithfully record the summoner's military achievements. Zero stones, stones are the food unit for military meritorious titles. According to the standard of military meritorious nobles, beating an enemy soldier counts as 50 stones. Then this secret method may convert all contributions and contributions into stones. The so-called How many military merit points are there, in fact, is how many stones! It seems that military merit is not easy to earn!"

Chapter 992 Inheritance ([-])

After merging the military power realm bead, Xia Pingan didn't stop, but started to fuse the remaining "Yi Jin Jing" realm bead.

After dripping with blood, Xia Ping'an was wrapped in a light cocoon in the blink of an eye.

In a trance, Xia Pingan felt his body shaking slightly, and he still heard the crackling sound in his ears. Firecrackers, like beans falling on the ground, Xia Pingan understood that he had already entered the world of Jiezhu.

He wanted to open his eyes to see where he was, but it was such a simple thought that couldn't be simpler, but at the moment it was a little difficult, because Xia Pingan found that his body at this moment was indescribably weak and his energy was seriously weak , he is groggy at the moment, weak and sleepy, his eyelids seem to weigh a thousand catties, but his whole body is so limp that he can't lift a bit of strength.

This situation shocked Xia Pingan. He had fused so many boundary beads, and the body of the owner of this boundary bead was the weakest one he had encountered.

Could it be a paralyzed dying person?

Just when this idea appeared in Xia Ping'an's mind, he felt his body shaking even more violently, as if someone was pushing him, "Master...wake up...Master..."

Pushed by external force, Xia Ping'an's head was finally a little clear. He woke up from a drowsy sleep. When he opened his eyes, what he saw was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man with a dark face. , the huge shiny forehead, the blue robes on his body, the short mandarin jacket with horseshoe sleeves, and the braids on the back of his head. These attires all at once explained this dynasty—the Qing Dynasty.

This was in the carriage, the young man was sitting next to him, and he was wrapped in a dark red mattress, sick and lazily lying in a comfortable posture in the carriage, he felt the bumps , is the source of the vibration on the carriage, and the crackling sound came from the carriage and the roof, like the sound of raindrops hitting the carriage. Extra harsh.

There were some books in the carriage, as well as some large and small boxes containing many things. Xia Pingan saw the Four Treasures of the Study in the box, and at the same time saw a dazzling thing, so he put it in those boxes openly. On top of the box—that’s—the bong for the big smoker.

The smell in the car was a bit strange. Xia Pingan just sniffed it with his nose, and he felt that there was a special sweet smell in the car that could confuse people when he smoked heavily. The homes of those drug addicts have smelled it, and besides opium, there is also a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the carriage.

The accompanying things in the car were opium, medicine, and books, which was so strange that Xia Pingan was a little dazed, and then, the feeling of weakness came again, and he couldn't help but take a nap again. I yawned, and then I felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and tears came out all at once.

This body is so weak that it is indescribable, it seems that even stretching is a bit difficult.

Seeing Xia Pingan staring at the pipe, the young man hurriedly said, "My lord, you just smoked that fushou ointment before you went to bed. Before you came, my wife and the master explained that this time I went to the provincial autumn road, so I asked you to smoke less." A little fushou ointment, if you feel sleepy, my lord, do you want to take some medicine to make up for it!" As he spoke, the young man skillfully opened a box in the carriage. There were ready-made pills in the box, and a strong scent of ginseng The flavor just came out of the box.

The Qing Dynasty... Yi Jin Jing... Big smoke... Tuberculosis... The son-in-law of a rich family...

When these elements fermented in Xia Pingan's head for two seconds, Xia Pingan knew his identity at the moment - Zhou Shuguan.At this moment, this consumptive body is one of the key figures in history who handed down the "Illustrations of Yijin, Washing Marrow and Neigong".

This young man is also dead. He was born with a weak body. Before he was ten years old, he was a medicine jar. After smoking the cigarette, now, although this body is only in its 19s, it is dying and weak, like an old man who is sick at any time, terrified when he moves, walking like a wooden chicken, afraid of cold and heat, and addicted to cigarettes. I can only hang it with tonics, making it feel like I'm going to die at any time.

Mr. Zhou's trip this time is to go to the provincial capital to participate in the three-yearly Qiu Wei. As a scholar, Mr. Zhou still wants to win a candidate.

Looking at the little servant boy who was staring at him, Xia Pingan calmed down his breathing and waved his hands, "No need...ahem...by the way, where are we now?"

"We're going to Ziyang soon, but it's raining today, and it's going to be dark, so we can't go to the city anymore, so we can only find a place to stay overnight on the road before leaving. Chen Bo, who just drove the car, said that he knew that there was a monastery on the road ahead. The resident is going to take us there for a night!" The little servant and book boy seemed a bit clever, and when Xia Pingan asked, he immediately understood what he said in an orderly manner.

Xia Pingan stretched out his hand, wanting to open the curtains of the carriage to look outside. When he stretched out his hand, he realized that his hand was as thin as skin and bones, with blue veins exposed, and the skin was dull. The faint brown sores left before, just opened the curtain a little, and saw the dark sky outside and the trees on the side of the road that were shaken by the wind and rain. Shaking, a chill rose from his body, he couldn't help shivering, his face turned pale all of a sudden.

"Young master, be careful, it's windy outside, don't get caught in the wind and cold!" The boy hurriedly stopped him and closed the curtains again.

Xia Pingan smiled wryly, this body is so weak, compared with his divine body that can move mountains and seas at any time, he simply doesn't know what to say, saying that this body is as weak as an ant, like a candle in the wind, is really true Not wronged at all.

Seeing that Xia Pingan stopped talking, the boy hurriedly arranged the bedding for Xia Pingan, so that Xia Pingan could sit comfortably in the carriage, and then carefully took out a small piece of ginseng from the box, and let Xia Pingan hold it in his mouth Refresh yourself.

Xia Pingan closed his eyes and rested.

Half an hour later, the sound of raindrops hitting the carriage outside gradually diminished, and the rain stopped. After another hour of drowsy bumping in the carriage, the carriage finally stopped. Immediately, outside the carriage A slightly old and rough voice sounded, "My lord, get out of the car, our place to stay tonight has arrived!"

The young man skillfully put on a cloak for Xia Ping'an first, then opened the curtain in front of the carriage, and was the first to get out, blocking the outside wind, an uncle in his 40s wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat After placing a horse stool on the ground in front of the car, Xia Pingan got out of the car.

Xia Pingan got out of the car, and the boy hurried over to support Xia Ping'an's arms and body, for fear that Xia Ping'an would fall off, the coachman was also holding the horse carefully so that the horse pulling the cart would not move around at this time.

Xia Pingan was also a little helpless, but his body was indeed too weak. He just bent down to get out of the carriage, but he felt tightness in his chest, some heart palpitations, and his hands and feet felt clumsy, as if he couldn't control him.

With the support of the servant, Xia Pingan stepped on the car clapper and the horse stool below, carefully walked down from the carriage which was only about one meter above the ground, and then looked at the environment here.

I saw the carriage stopped at the gate of the temple, and there was a plaque on the temple with the words Tonghui Temple written on it.

Looking at this temple, it is quite clean, not small in scale, not crude.

The temples of this era, in many cases, actually take on the function of inns. People on the road live in the temples, and scholars settle in the temples, which is a common thing.

Seeing someone coming in a carriage, the little novice at the gate of the monastery immediately greeted him.

The little novice took Xia Ping'an and the little servant boy into the temple together, and arrived at the living room of the temple. After meeting the Zhigu monk in the temple, after a simple exchange, Xia Ping'an settled down in Tonghui Temple.

Chapter 993 Inheritance ([-])

The guest room of the monastery is in a courtyard. The guest room is not big, and there is only one bed and one table inside.

The book boy next to Xia Pingan was also clever. After busy work, he quickly moved the boxes of Xia Pingan's things in the carriage to the room, and the driver also settled the carriage, and lived in Xia Ping'an next door.

Mr. Zhou took two people with him when he left home to participate in Qiu Wei this time.

"This Tonghui Temple is quiet, the sheets and quilts are still clean, and the incense is worth the money. Please sit in the house for a while, my lord. It's past dinner time in this temple. I'll go to the kitchen of the temple to have a look. Get me some vegetarian food for dinner..." The book boy put down his things and said to Xia Ping'an.

"Okay, you go, I will walk around this temple at will!"

The servant looked at Xia Pingan worriedly, "Do you want Uncle Chen to follow you?"

"No need, my health is much better than before, just walk around this monastery, do some exercise, it's okay, you go and do your work!" Xia Pingan smiled slightly.Yes, although his body is very weak now, it is much better than before. Otherwise, he would not go out to participate in Qiu Wei this time. His body was weaker than now, but he was lucky I met a master surnamed Chen in Zhishantang, and taught him the method of health preservation handed down from Shaolin Temple. Later, I got a book of "Neigong Tushuo" in Chengdu Taoist Temple. The combination of the two for recuperation has improved my body a lot, but The body is still weak, and the addiction to opium can't be stopped.

The deeds of Zhou Shuguan's acquisition of "Yi Jin Jing" are actually not found in any historical books, but only recorded in the preface of "Yi Jin Washing the Marrow" in the preface. The reason why Xia Pingan knew this is also a coincidence, because When he was studying at school in his previous life, a teacher in the school had cancer. Later, the teacher bought a practice CD and followed a lady named Cui Lin to practice this set of exercises. I heard that Ms. Cui Lin also had cancer. After practicing this set of exercises, the teacher practices this set of exercises on the school playground every morning, and also brings other teachers to practice together, so all the students in the school know about it.

After the boy left the room, Xia Pingan also closed the door and left the guest house.

Xia Ping'an first went to the Daxiong Hall and Guanyin Hall of the temple, worshiped, and then wandered around in the temple.

At this time, the rain stopped and the sky was getting dark. Xia Pingan came to the garden behind the temple unknowingly. Behind the garden was a mountain wall. He saw that there seemed to be a place under the mountain wall emitting a faint white light, as if there was a lantern there. When he got closer, he saw a white-eyed and white-bearded man behind a bush under the mountain wall. The old monk who is like a baby is sitting in a cave under the mountain wall that can shelter from the rain, with his legs crossed and his eyes closed, meditating. The light is coming from the old monk. (Note 1)

Xia Ping'an was still tens of meters away, and the old monk seemed to know that someone was coming. The brilliance on his body disappeared all of a sudden, and he opened his eyes all of a sudden, looking towards Xia Ping'an.

Xia Pingan quickly stepped forward to salute, "Junior Zhou Shuguan pays his respects to Master!"

The monk laughed, "There is no master here, there is only an old monk and a scholar!"

"Master, you are being humble. Just now, when the younger generation saw the master sitting in meditation, he had a Dharma image on his body. The master must not be an ordinary person!"
