The Path of the Sage

Chapter 1266: Liu Shan, the Taoist Priest

Views:

On the official road, the left prime minister Liu Shan was dressed in blue, looking elegant and calm, with a smile on his face as he looked at the scholar rushing towards him.

The triple desk exuded a terrifying aura, and pale white ripples visible to the naked eye spread in all directions.

Within a radius of ten miles, all the scholars who were opposed to Liu Shan felt that their strength was inexplicably drained away. They clearly wanted to attack Liu Shan, but they couldn't muster the energy and were confused, as if they were in a dream.

Some Jinshi realized that they were influenced by Liushan's Wentai power, and they were furious and secretly resentful. No one expected that Liushan was so powerful. Ordinary university scholars could never achieve this level.

Those Hanlin scholars were slightly better, but they were also somewhat powerless, and some even had inexplicable thoughts. They always felt that Liu Shan represented the legitimacy of the human race and the majesty of the Jing Kingdom, and if they attacked him, they would be ruined.

Those university scholars, who had literary desks hanging high above their heads, were not affected by Liushan's literary desk.

Zhou Junhu was not afraid and laughed instead, "As expected of a traitor that Qing State has cultivated with all its strength, your fox tail has finally been exposed! It is indeed a good plan to use the power of Jing State and the position of the left prime minister to assemble the three-layer literary platform! If I am not mistaken, your 'Great Unified Literary Platform' has just been assemble for a short time."

Liu Shan stroked his beard and said frankly: "Yes, not long ago, I worked hard and finally made a breakthrough, condensing the Great Unified Wentai. Speaking of which, if it weren't for Fang Xusheng giving me a little setback, it might take me several more years to realize the Great Unified Wentai."

"Old thief, even if you have three levels of literary power, you can't defeat us! Prepare to die!"

After Zhou Junhu finished speaking, the Hundred Soldiers' Literary Office was agitated, temporarily breaking the power of Liu Shan's Literary Office, and all the Hanlin and Jinshi were shocked.

Zhou Junhu gave an order, and everyone spoke with their swords and tongues, and saw divine lights of various shapes and colors flying towards Liushan. In the process of flying, the sword lights were like a net. They were connected and interdependent, and they were faintly integrated into one, which could cut the sky apart.

Liu Shan just shook his head slightly, slowly stretched out his right hand, with his palm facing the scholar in front of him.

"seal up!"

As soon as Liu Shan said this, a thousand-foot-long golden light burst out from his hands, more brilliant than the rising sun. In the palm of his palm, there was a golden word "Seal".

The heaven and earth shook, and within a ten-mile radius, the ground sank three inches, and a circular energy force emerged, sweeping up the dust and spreading and expanding, and finally formed a huge ring-shaped sandstorm that rolled in all directions, making a huge roar.

Above the sky, the clouds parted and the weather was clear and blue.

The time in front of Liu Shan seemed to have come to a standstill, all the verbal battles hung in the air, and everyone was motionless.

Even the stupid scholar Tian Songshi was still hanging in the air with one foot, unable to land.

However, the look in everyone's eyes was changing, and they all knew what was happening.

Liu Shan used the power bestowed upon him by the patriarch.

The golden word "Seal" in Liu Shan's hand slowly dissipated, and he smiled proudly and said, "Fall!"

All the grand secretaries who were on the rise to high positions fell back to the ground.

"Come here. Tie them up and escort them back to the capital. The Holy Academy will give me an explanation!" After Liu Shan said this, he turned around and glanced coldly at the fleeing soldiers.

All the soldiers stood there in a daze. For a moment, they didn't know whether to leave or stay. No one expected that Liu Shan could resolve the siege of so many people with just a raise of his hand.

A Jinshi general who followed Liu Shan said in a thunderous voice: "Idiot, what are you still standing there for? Come back immediately, rest the troops, and return to the capital immediately!"

The fleeing soldiers looked at each other, dejectedly tried to turn back slowly. They were all terrified, knowing that they would never have a good life from now on.

Those elite soldiers rushed forward like tigers and wolves, tied up all the assassins, and threw them onto several armored ox carts like dead pigs, with people piled on top of each other. Only the armored ox carts containing the grand secretaries and Tian Songshi were relatively spacious.

The officials under the Left Prime Minister flattered him, but he smiled and said nothing, leading the caravan of dragon horses and armored oxen back to the capital quickly. The others could only walk slowly.

When Liu Shan returned to the capital, the whole country was shocked.

At this time, everyone guessed that Liu Shan's so-called hospitality was just a way to lure out the snakes and catch all those who wanted to assassinate him in one fell swoop.

The amount of criticism both among the public and on the discussion boards suddenly decreased.

Not only does the patriarch stand behind Liu Shan, but he also has strong support!

In the entire clan, there are only three or five people who have been granted protection by the clan saint. Liu Shan actually has such an honor. He is not just a grand scholar, nor is he just the left prime minister of Jing State. His true identity is obvious!

Adhere to the teachings of the sage and practice them in the country of Jing.

The one who holds the Tao is Liushan.

That night, the Left Prime Minister's residence was crowded with guests.

Kongcheng, Kongjialou.

A group of Jinshi were in a private courtyard, drinking alone. Some of them were even drinking one cup after another, just trying to get themselves drunk.

"Fanming, stop drinking!"

Li Fanming drank another glass of wine and said loudly: "Since leaving the Holy Ruins, we have never suffered such injustice! Who in the world doesn't envy our generation of friends in the Holy Ruins? What can I do now? I feel so suffocated!"

"well… "

"Back then I suspected that Liu Shan was the Daoist master of the Zong Saint, and now it is confirmed. He is worthy of being a half-saint. He was not selected by the Zong family, nor was he trained in Qing Kingdom, but was trained as a Daoist master in a neighboring country. Just for this reason, I, Li Fanming, admire him!" Li Fanming said he admired him, but his expression was indignant.

Kong Delun sighed and said, "No wonder those old guys in our Kong family only scolded Liu Shan but never showed up. It turns out that they had guessed that Liu Shan was a Taoist. With the sacred text in his hand and the sacred way, he is so powerful. No wonder he dared to wipe out the power left by the Void Saint, and no wonder the saintly families did not speak out."

"Speaking out is a dispute over the holy way. How do you express your stance?" Hua Yuqing said angrily.

"However, I heard rumors that the left prime minister has angered some noble families, and they are preparing to contain Liu Shan's power in Jing State. The three judicial officials of Jing State and other legal officials have secretly reached an agreement that all of Fang Yun's former friends or subordinates will be given a light sentence if the crime is serious, or no sentence if the crime is minor. Liu Shan's pressure is useless."

Sun Naiyong said: "I heard from some uncles that our military family has also secretly said that we will spare no effort to resist the barbarians, but we will never help Liushan. Once Jingguo is destroyed, our military family will arrange a way out for Jingguo's military family! If Liushan dares to cut off supplies and harm our military family like he did in the past few years, then our military family will attack the Zong family and hold a 'discussion'!"

The other Jinshi were extremely excited and praised the military strategist one after another.

Yan Yukong looked worried and said, "We are too young after all. We have only experienced the palace examination and have not even spent three years in the Saint Academy. How can we fight against them? Moreover, Fang Yun is dead and has not yet achieved the Sainthood. What can we do? In a few days, I will go to the capital of Jingguo and talk to Liu Shan. I hope he can let Fang Yun's relatives and friends go."

"I am coming too!"

"Let's go together! Although we are both Jinshi, as long as we bring the visiting cards from our respective families, I don't believe that Liu Shan would dare not meet us!"

Li Fanming said in a hateful voice: "I have already told the Qingyi Longhou the details of what happened and asked him to tell Ao Huang. With Ao Huang's temper, he will definitely turn the capital of Jingguo upside down."
