Tai sui

Zhou Ying replied: I see, I will go down the mountain soon.

Just after sending out the volume of Wentian, he heard a scream outside the window, and the black cat kicked off the courtyard wall and rolled down.

Zhou Ying flicked his sleeves, and the wind from the cuffs flew out through the window, holding Sha Mao firmly.

The blue phoenix that teased the cat down flapped its wings and ran away, leaving a string of rainbows behind its buttocks.The black cat ran in with its fur shaved, and complained anxiously with a pale face.

It was old, considered very old among cats, the hair around its eyes and mouth had faded slightly, and its expression looked a lot more serious.He lived in Qianxiu Temple with his master for five years, soaked in the aura of the mountains, it is still strong now, maybe it can live for 20 years.However, it has lived for 30 years and has not made much progress. It is still a heartless eye with strong fighting power.

Just when Zhou Ying was about to hug it, she stretched her hand halfway, glanced outside, raised her finger to her lips: "A guest is here, be quiet."

After finishing speaking, he stood up to welcome him out, and when he pushed the door open, Princess Duanrui just landed at the gate of Qiu Ziyuan.

Zhou Ying bowed her hands politely: "His Royal Highness Duan Rui."

In terms of blood relationship, Princess Duanrui is his aunt... I don't know how many generations of grandmothers, but Zhou Ying never called her "grandfather" like other Zhou family members, nor did she call her "uncle teacher". Outsiders—he doesn't count as worshiping under Xuanyin's sect.

Five years ago, the Wuduhai Conspiracy went bankrupt, and dozens of generations of lunatics in the Zhou family planned for 800 years, but they failed.The big demon with incomplete demon soul was dispersed by the three elders of Xuanyin and re-suppressed. The last spiritual bone sacrifice in Wuduhai was preserved and returned to the owner.

However, Dawan did not change the dynasty because of this, and the surname is still Zhou.

One is because Bitan Peak is firmly established on Xuanyin Mountain, and Princess Duanrui, a half-step cicada, can still support the Zhou family; It just exploded, blasting all the filth of the major families onto the table. Except for the few unreliable ones like Zhi Xiu, the masters of the 36th peak of Xuanyin, there is no one who is not dishonored.Everyone was ashamed together, the crow had no face to dislike the pig, and he lost the confidence to pursue the Zhou family.

Anyway, after the magic seal was broken, those who had face-faced spiritually, the altar was destroyed along with the face-face, and there was not a single living person left in Xuanyin Mountain.

Zhou Kun was killed by the backlash of the magic seal. He lifted the card table and took away a lot of people. He is not lonely on Huangquan Road—there are countless people who died in the mob rebellion. The government and the opposition were in turmoil, and afterwards, because of the anger of the common people, they could only pinch their noses and push out their own ineffective younger generations to be stabbed, and a large group fell.

In the past five years, chambers of commerce in various places have been changed, and the power of the Water Transport Department, which has almost become private property of some people, has been taken over by the imperial court. A series of law and tax reforms such as the "South Factory Law" and "Land Law" have been vigorously implemented-these are all ready-made, It was a decree that Emperor Taiming wanted to push back, but in the end it was ignored. The manuscript has been repaired several times and has been perfected. It can be copied with minor adjustments.

Farmers who lost their land may not be able to get their land back, and their ancestral graves will always be preserved; workers in factories may not be able to live in a place, but no one dares to fill their lives because they are not willing to fill their spirit stones; Naturally, there is still no place to talk, but at least I can get in and have a seat.

The situation where the big family covered the sky with one hand was violently broken by Emperor Taiming, and no one stopped Tengyun Jiao from running all over the place.

In fact, looking back, Emperor Taiming took advantage of the fire in the southern suburbs at that time to release the third son of the emperor, who was afraid of chaos in the world, to set Jinping around and set fire to it. It seemed that he had foreseen all this and did it on purpose.

Otherwise, on that night when the lightning flashed and thundered in Jinping, Zhou Kun was so well-behaved, why would he reveal Zhou's secrets to Marquis Yongning?

He was the last demon subduer of the Zhou family who went mad, and he was the one who was destined to be seen.

Did he somehow foresee Zhou's doomed defeat?

At that time, did he no longer care about whether the Great Demon of the East China Sea could seek justice for the Zhou family, and just wanted to clear up the serious illness of Dawan?

Which one of the split expressions on his death face is real?

In the fifth year of Taiming, Zhou Kun put the spiritual bone of his own son in the altar and stole the heart demon seed. It is still unknown where it was used.Not long afterward, a civil strife broke out in Xuanyin Mountain, one of the four elders went into seclusion, and a master of Shengling Peak was deboned.The then young Emperor Taiming took the opportunity to set off a bloodbath in the court.

24 years later, he sent his sister away, completely pierced the sky, took away everyone who was in the way, and forced Xuanyin to come forward to clean up the mess. His seemingly futile attempts all his life turned out to be successful after his death.

The tyrant has been in power for 29 years and seems to be struggling all the time, always looking for an opportunity to pierce the canopy over his head.

However, the death of a person is like a lamp being extinguished, and the truth is no longer known.His siblings were separated from life to death, and he did not kiss his wife, nor could he talk about his confidant. Only Marquis Yongning drank a glass of bitter wine with him every year—the two old men did not chat, and their words were all in the wine. : The Marquis of Yongning wishes him an early violent death.

No one in the world has ever heard Zhou Kun's innermost thoughts, so whether he is a sage who bears a thorn or a lunatic with deep sins, I am afraid that the ghosts and gods under the nine springs will judge him.

In the past five years, although Dawan has experienced civil strife, it is much more energetic than before.More than half of the six departments and nine ministers have been replaced by civil servants who came from imperial examinations. The new emperor is a tolerant, benevolent, and conservative monarch. Huan.

At that time, the three elders brought Zhou Ying's spiritual bone back, and Zhao Yin, the elder of Li, met him in the main hall of Xuanyin Mountain and gave him two choices: If he wanted to succeed, he had to get the spiritual bone back from the opening of the spiritual aperture. The spirit veins are sealed behind the bones, and the spirit energy is not allowed to be used for life. The half-immortal body only allows him to survive and live a mortal life from then on; There is no precedent for putting him back for many years, and no one knows how far he can go on the fairy road in the future.

After Zhou Ying finished listening, she didn't choose any one, but asked calmly: "The younger generation has been trapped in the bottom of the sea for 20 years. He is paranoid and narrow-minded. He will definitely not be able to be a kind and benevolent king. Besides, there is not enough people. Now I promise to stabilize the country." Feng Lingmai, after a hundred years his ambitions will swell, and it is impossible to guarantee that he will not find some heresy ways to prolong his life, what will happen when the incident happened 800 years ago? Why, is Xianshan so reassuring of me?"

Of course, Xianshan was not at ease, but the Great Elder Daoxin was watching from above, forcing him to do what he said, and promised Xi Ping to let Zhuang Wang choose, so he could only hold his nose to take this risk, and then find a way to strictly supervise it. .

"As for entering the inner sect," Zhou Ying smiled, "Your Highness Duanrui was born with a spiritual bone, and entered the pure and ruthless way. Apart from my spiritual bone, my inspiration is also different from ordinary people. How will the immortal sect plan to arrange me? Great Elder, Anyone who has been imprisoned in the bottomless sea since birth, doesn't want to be restrained any more."

Zhao Yin asked: "Do you want to stay at the outer door? Which one?"

"No one can tolerate me," Zhou Ying said, "I heard that in this chaos, many common people were bewitched by evil spirits and devoured spirit stones and became half-hearted evil spirits. What does Xianshan plan to do with these people?"

The instigator really has the guts to ask!

Zhao Yin really stopped him from asking.

If you follow Dawan's former law, you have to win according to evil spirits.

But the law does not blame the public, and there are too many people involved this time.And those who eat spirit stones to go evil and take the lead in rebellion are regarded as heroes among the people. If they are all beaten into evil spirits, those real evil spirits who fish in troubled waters will be happy to accept them, and the public grievances that have just been suppressed will be able to bear it.

Containment is even more impossible, where to collect it?

How strict is Xuanyin's inner sect, and princes and grandsons still have to fight for a selection post; Tianji Pavilion has extremely high requirements for the qualifications of its subordinates, and it is not uncommon for blue-clothed half-immortals to leapfrog and kill foundation-building monks. A resident manager with insufficient ability; before, these monks who didn’t know what to do were all placed in the South Mine. As a result, such a big incident happened in the South Mine. The Mining Office was abolished, and Xuanyin 36 Peak will send special personnel to supervise the mine in turn.

Zhou Ying calmly said: "These people went astray because of me indirectly, and they have nowhere to go as I do. Isn't this fate? If the fairy gate is at ease, you can leave it to me to settle it."

So it was like this, and today's "enlightened monks" came into being.

Xuanyin Mountain promulgated a new law, folk monks need to register, and lay the Xuanyin spirit seal on their bodies to become "enlightened monks" and no longer considered evil spirits.After casting the spiritual seal, every time an enlightened monk casts a spiritual talisman, Xianshan can strictly monitor it. If he commits a crime, even if he runs to the ends of the earth, a spell from the Xuanyin Mountain Torture Hall can directly disperse his spiritual platform through the spiritual seal.

These legal enlightened monks are assigned to various places according to their household registration, and the imperial court assigns tasks to do things beyond the reach of ordinary human beings-repair inscriptions, maintain the moon-plated gold melting furnace circle, look after the elixir fields, and deal with natural disasters. Saving people and so on, you can get one or two bizhang stones according to your work every month.

In addition, enlightened monks are also monks. It is really urgent to have a channel to "reach heaven to listen", and if there are traitors who borrow the power of the immortal sect to be lawless, they must be scrupled. They are a protective talisman for the folks.

In this way, the "evil spirits" who refused to register in Dawan became real evil spirits, and there was no place for them to stay, because once an "enlightened monk" was involved with evil spirits, he would be immediately detected by the spirit seal and stared to death, and "evil spirits" Discussion——For thousands of years, Taoism finally condescended, and gave ordinary monks a small and barren space to gain a foothold. It was so precious that any enlightened monk would not be willing to risk his wealth and life. In the end, they became In order to fight against the evil spirits, the most active person is afraid of being beaten as the same kind.

Blind suppression will only arouse resistance, and it is justified to divide and dissolve.

Zhuang Wang Zhouying is worthy of being the heir to the throne that Bitan Peak has taken a fancy to from the very beginning. He is raising spiritual bones in Qianxiu Temple, and he is not seen how busy he is. Just relying on the remote control of "Wentian", he has cleared up the folk monks in Dawan. It is clear that countless evil organizations that took advantage of the civil turmoil and expanded wildly lost their shelter overnight. Within a year or two, they were almost wiped out by the Tianji Pavilion, and everyone who could escape ran away.

So in addition to "enlightenment", Zhou Ying created "Lu Wu" with one hand - mixed with the evil spirits fleeing abroad, and quietly infiltrated the surroundings, it is much more convenient and concealed than those blue clothes in Tianji Pavilion who can't leave the country without camouflage .

Zhou Ying is not in a hurry to do anything. He has lived in Qianxiu Temple for nearly two years. His body without spiritual bones is about to collapse, so he opened the spiritual orifices in a leisurely manner. Princess Duanrui went down the mountain to help him protect the law and fuse the spiritual bones , It was so steady that even the new buds in front of the window were not disturbed, but the officials of Qianxiu Temple were moved badly - they were worried about it for two years, and they were ready to rebuild the Qiuziyuan again.

Since Zhou Ying was born, his body has not been better, and he needs to get used to the fusion with his spirit bones. Duan Rui put [-] bone nails on his body and removed them every once in a while.

Five years later, Princess Duanrui checked the condition of his spirit bones, and finally took back all the bone nails: "Your spirit bones have returned to their place, you can go down the mountain."

"Thank you, Your Highness Duan Rui," Zhou Ying said, "I have thanked you for protecting the law these years."

"No, there is my karma in it." Duan Rui said, "The Zhou family's affairs have nothing to do with the younger generation. You go back and take care of yourself. Xianshan will handle things fairly."

"Yes." Zhou Ying was taught humbly. Seeing that Duan Rui was about to leave, she stopped her and said, "I wonder if this junior can meet Shi Yong for grandma before he leaves Xianshan? He hasn't written a letter to his family for five years. miss."

Princess Duanrui shook her head: "I came via Feiqiong Peak, and the mountain is still closed."

Zhou Ying lowered her eyes when she heard the words, and quickly got up to send her off as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "Yes, that's not a coincidence."

At this time, Princess Duanrui suddenly caught a glimpse of a wooden Karma Beast placed on the window sill.

Zhou Ying followed her gaze and said, "Shiyong was in Qianxiu Temple before, and he didn't know how to beg for fun. His Highness did it, right?"

Princess Duanrui: "What did Manager Su say?"

Zhou Ying shook her head: "No, I can feel that it is connected with His Highness' breath."

Princess Duanrui paused, turned her head to look at Zhou Ying, and asked in a rare initiative, "What do you see in your eyes?"

"Top inspiration," Zhou Ying raised her eyebrows and shook her head. "You are born with it, and juniors can't compare it. It's nothing unusual, it's just better than ordinary half-immortals. If there is a strong causal link—for example, I can feel a little bit of this little piece born because of His Highness is placed beside you."

In his eyes, the naive Karma Beast Ornament is the same as the unattainable Princess Duanrui, with a clear haze covering her body.

Zhou Ying smiled without blinking her eyes: "They all have the same aura of Zhongzheng and cleanliness."

Duan Rui never listened to this kind of compliments like New Year's greetings. He just waved his hand and said: "The inspiration of ordinary monks is in line with the level of cultivation, but you are different. The five senses mess with people's hearts. Too much inspiration may not be a good thing. Although you have Regaining the spirit bone will not lead to premature death, and it is also weaker than a person of the same cultivation level, so nourishing pills are indispensable."

Zhou Ying nodded yes, watched her back, smiled calmly, and thought: "Half a step of cicada sloughing, the heart of Taoism is covered with dust."

The Eldest Princess retreats all the year round. Twenty-three years ago, it was impossible for the demon seed stolen by Zhou Kun to grow on her body, but now even she has been affected, which shows that the demon seed has grown on the fairy mountain.

He tapped his knuckles lightly, calculating his plan like he was watching the sky: don't worry, the days of the half-immortal are long.

The black cat came over and wanted to rub his leg, but when he looked up and saw his smile, he took a step back for some reason.

As soon as King Zhuang lowered his head to meet Maotong, the smile that seemed to be imprinted on his face disappeared.

14 years ago, he escaped from crossing the sea, escaped from death, and suffered a serious illness in the human world. A little bastard thought he was sad for the death of an old dog. He picked up this little thing from nowhere and secretly Tucked it into his study.

The kitten was so frightened to death that he peed on a set of Four Books hand-annotated by the great Confucianism of the former dynasty... a waste of things.

"Entrust you to Elder Su." Zhou Yingyi leaned over and picked up the cat, "You can live a few more years on Lingshan, I don't need you to accompany me."

The 14-year-old cat can understand a little bit of human language, and looked at him with wide eyes.

Zhou Ying flicked a spell, and several rice boys were called in to pack his things.

"Don't touch that." When a rice boy picked up the brocade box on the table, he was suddenly opened by a spell. Zhou Ying said coldly, "Don't touch things with koi, pack up the others."

Inside the brocade box with the lid off is a dozen dust-avoiding charms.

The brushwork is naive, not very proficient at first glance, but it is very carefully preserved, and the aura has not been lost at all. It is exactly the same as five years ago... From the eyes of ordinary people.

However, in the eyes of the top inspiration, on the dust-proof charm, that person's aura has long since disappeared.
