Night Emperor

Chapter 536: Sugar-coated cannonballs

Views:

To the south of Tixi is Qingping Mountain. From then on, going south through many mountains is the capital of Sizhou. This Sizhou is not the same as the Sizhou two hundred years ago. At that time, Sizhou included the land of four prefectures, collectively called Sizhou Prefecture. Today, the area under the jurisdiction of Sizhou is only a quarter of the original.

On Qingping Mountain, to be precise, on the halfway up Qingping Mountain, the Gedolo tribe is building a new homeland. Gedoldao is a very powerful old man, Ye Xiaotian told him to set up camp in the mountains near Tixi, and he went straight to the foot of the mountain.

You can see Mount Mercury in front of it. The Yu family in front of Mount Mercury and the Zhan family and Yang family behind Mount Mercury have sent out their horses to spy on them. Only Guoji’s house in Liangyue Valley remained silent. They don't listen to their probes, but just build their own village with their hearts.

To put it bluntly, Liangyuegu Guoji's family was originally a raw family, not under the jurisdiction of Sizhou and Sinan prefectures. It took a relatively long process for the chieftain to be brought under the rule, which lasted for about a century.

In this way, their transformation is very slow. The recognition, recognition and acceptance of others change slowly step by step, and their lifestyle also changes little by little. No one feels it abruptly, and the adaptation process is natural. It was the first time that the Gedolo tribe came roaring like this. No wonder the surrounding tribes felt a little at a loss.

Fatty Zhang only felt that he was particularly unlucky this year, and things went up and down one after another. Dai Chonghua discussed with Yulong for a long time, but they couldn't find a suitable person to contact the Gedolo tribe. Finally, Dai Chonghua had to volunteer and go in person.

Dai Tongzhi was Zhang Duo's confidant, and if he couldn't find a suitable candidate, then the envoy was either him or Yulong, and he couldn't go to the third person. Moreover, he and Yu Junting were ambitiously planning to deal with Zhang Duo. At this critical moment, he was also afraid that something might happen, so he took the initiative to invite Ying.

Fatty Zhang doesn't care who he is going to, as long as someone can solve the problem for him, he will immediately authorize Dai Tongzhi as the plenipotentiary representative to contact this tribe of savages who suddenly moved out from the depths of the Shiwanda Mountains, to find out their intentions, so that they can do something. out of response.

Ye Xiaotian is very relaxed here. The matter of dredging and digging the canal has been on the right track, and the criminal department is in charge of it. The criminal department can now accept one or two cases every day. There are no cases that are too big. Most of them are civil disputes and economic disputes, which are relatively easy to handle , and gradually increased the sense of existence of the criminal hall, so that people would not ignore the existence of Ye Tuiguan, just right.

Ye Xiaotian then spared his spare time to accompany the seducer for banquets, tours, and sightseeing. Ye Xiaotian's status is too high, and the seducer really feels uncomfortable from his heart when he receives his warm hospitality. He walked around Tongren Mansion with Ye Xiaotian's company for a few days in fear and trepidation.

Ye Xiaotian also saw that he was uncomfortable, so he asked Su Xuntian and Mao Wenzhi to accompany the seducer and Yelao to play around on his behalf. A goblin who can enjoy himself in a prison, having some fun with two old men buried up to their necks in soil, isn't that easy and comfortable.

Although Yinggoulao had a good time in Tongren Mansion, he was also concerned about whether Geduolao's tribe had taken root and was eager to return to Tixi, so he repeatedly asked Ye Xiaotian to resign, but Ye Xiaotian just refused to let him go, insisting on doing his best Ye Xiaotian finally let go after repeated requests from the seducer, allowing him to return to Gedole's tribe tomorrow, and today is his last day before returning to Tixi.

Today, Su Xuntian and Mao Wenzhi warmly invited the seducer to travel again. The seducer went out for many days to play, although what he did was pleasing to the eye, he was a little tired after all, but he heard that the place he went today did not have to leave Tongren City, and the hospitality was hard to refuse, so he went out with them again .

After he and Yelao took the sedan chair and followed Su Xuntian and Mao Wenzhi through several streets, they suddenly found that there were people coming and going in front of them, it was very lively, and there were countless talisman flags fluttering in the wind. .

When the sedan chair fell, Su Xuntian and Mao Wenzhi accompanied each other, led Yinggoulao and Yelao out of the sedan chair, and followed the endless crowd.

Su Xuntian said: "Two elders, a Daoist Changfeng held the Luotian Dajiao prayer ceremony here today. Many believers in Tongren and surrounding areas came to the meeting. It was very lively. Let's take a look."

Yingoulao had traveled all over the world in the past, but he had also heard of Luo Tianda Zhan's blessing ceremony, which is one of the most solemn ceremony in Taoism. The Taoist "Supreme Secret Essentials" said: "Above the three realms, the insignificant Da Luo". "Luotian" refers to the big Luotian above the Three Realms, the sky beyond the sky, the highest and widest sky.

"Ji" is a ritual of Taoism offering sacrifices to gods and earth gods such as Sanqing, Siyu, and Five Stars. Taking "Luo Tian" as the name of the offering ceremony means that there are a large number of gods and high grades, and there are a large number of Taoist priests and Taoist priests participating in the ceremony.

But after all, he is not of the same way, and the seducer feels that participating in the Biejiao meeting, even if it is just watching, is disrespectful to Gu God, so he has never participated. Now Su Xuntian and Mao Wenzhi have brought him here, and after becoming an elder, his mentality is different from the past, he hesitated for a while, but he never objected.

The Luotian Dharma Association enshrined 1,200 gods, and invited all the Taoist Quanzhen around Tongren Mansion to preside over the nine Dharma altars. Many believers and pilgrims came to participate, and the event was unprecedented. Crowds gathered around the altar, waving their sleeves into clouds, and the main altar was presided over by Taoist Changfeng, who has been very famous in Tongren recently.

At this time in Tongren Mansion, few people knew that a tribe of Shengmiao had migrated to Tixi. Even if they knew, in the hearts of these ordinary people, they would not understand what it meant. I don't think it will have any impact on their tranquility and peace.

Taoist Changfeng raised a large sum of money to hold this Luo Tian Da Zhan prayer ceremony, it was at Wang Ning's behest, if he followed his temperament, he would have taken the money and gone away, and after spending it all, he would have played tricks in another place, But now he is under Wang Ning's control, so he can only obediently let him be manipulated.

Wang Ning is trying his best to deify Taoist Changfeng. He knows that Yang Yinglong from Bozhou and Yu Junting from Tongren are both Taoist believers, so he wants to create a living immortal for their use. A little bit of immediate benefit, but a longer-term plan. Just imagine that they can hide in Hu County for so long, and they will be impatient for what to do

Although Taoist Changfeng was not happy, his life was in his hands, so he could only obediently obey his orders. When he appeared on the stage, he was more majestic than other Taoists. There were sixteen disciples leading the way in front of him, followed by Qingfeng and Mingyue.

The hooker saw that this Taoist had such a prestige as soon as he appeared on the stage, he was surprised, and there was some envy in his eyes. Su Xuntian glanced at him secretly, shook his head and praised, "Taoist Changfeng is really majestic, even our prefect Zhang of Tongren is not so majestic when he goes on tour!"

Mao Wenzhi said: "Let's not talk about the magistrate, even the emperor is not so majestic when he goes on tour. Besides, when the emperor comes out, not all those who kneel are willing to kneel, but they dare not not kneel. Everyone is willing to kneel to Taoist Changfeng , this is a living fairy!"

Su Xuntian said: "I heard that when the great virtuous monk of the Buddhist family went out, countless people praised and worshiped him, and his prestige was tight. No matter where he went, whether he believed in the religion or not, the local celebrities and the adults in the government were all treated with courtesy. Really, you must know that you have offended him alone, but you have offended countless followers of the religion.”

Mao asked Zhi: "Hey! You said my elder brother, that's also... Well, if he reveals his identity, won't more people pay respect?"

Since Su Xuntian secretly reported to Ye Xiaotian his brother-in-law's conspiracy against Ye Xiaotian, he has been attracted by Ye Xiaotian as an absolute confidant, and now he knows Ye Xiaotian's true identity. After hearing Mao Wenzhi's words, Su Xuntian snorted and said, "Why?"

Mao Wenzhi was unconvinced and said: "Why, why do you say? Although Taoist Changfeng is famous, he can't be ranked among so many famous Taoist temples in the world. My elder brother is... don't talk about me Big brother, the two elders in front of you are also the top eight seniors in the sect, can Taoist Changfeng rank in the top eight in Taoism? Even these two elders are somewhat more noble than Taoist Changfeng."

Su Xuntian tugged at his sleeve and lowered his voice, but Yinggoulao and Yelao could still hear him clearly: "You idiot, don't talk nonsense. The Gu sect hides in the deep mountains and old forests. Those Miao people in the mountains, who knows who they are, how can they treat them respectfully."

After hearing Su Xuntian's words, Yinggoulao and Yelao felt uncomfortable on their old faces.

Ye Xiaotian has long felt that Gu Sect, in order to maintain its rule, restrains the mountain people in the deep mountains through teachings, which is simply inferior to princes, generals, and local tyrants. Acting as a king in a mountain nest, the rulers don't get much material comfort, and make people who believe in him suffer, which is simply harming others and themselves.

To live a meaningful life, you have to come out and blend in. Ye Xiaotian told them to enjoy the delicacies of mountains and seas, rich clothes and fine food now, and let them see other people's majesty with their own eyes. They are not afraid of not being able to arouse their desires. As long as people have desires, they will definitely have the motivation to change themselves. Ye Xiaotian's sugar-coated cannonballs were dropped one after another without any money.

The Changfeng Taoist wears gossip Taoist robes, wields the seven-star sword, steps on the high platform, walks the gangster step, and submits a letter to the heaven: "One Qi Tianzun: educate all living beings. Respect morality, abstain from greed, keep quiet, fight and kill. The common people live and work in peace and contentment without cutting down. The second enlightenment to Tianzun: lectures on economics. Open up the destiny, enlighten wisdom, and know the secrets of heaven... "

Taoist Changfeng performed well on it, but Seductor and Ye Lao had no intention of watching it anymore. They turned around and walked away, a seed had been quietly planted in their hearts...
