The followers of the Four Symbols Sect felt deeply ashamed of their previous low-level thinking.
I thought it was the gods who forced the Venerable to stay and serve... Look at the image of the Vermillion Bird spreading its wings. The majesty and strength can be felt from a long distance away. The Venerable Vermillion Bird must have made great progress in his practice, so it caused the stars to echo and resonate.
How could this be called serving? Even the dual cultivation that the Maitreya sect once boasted about would not dare to boast that it could help people achieve such an improvement. This is not that kind of thing. It can only be the blessing of the gods that allowed the loyal and selfless Venerable Suzaku to achieve a leap in cultivation.
This is a miracle among miracles, and it might even cause great loss to the gods. How could I imagine such a terrible scene
The believers bowed their heads in prayer, deeply repenting their disrespectful suspicions of the gods and the respected.
We should be more faithful to our faith and strive to receive such blessings in the future, so as to break through the threshold that has stuck us for so many years.
The new leader and the Xuanwu Reverend stared at each other expressionlessly for a while, and Xia Chichi finally said, "The new doctrines and rules have been preached. You should go back and study them and act according to the new rules. From now on, we are the real state religion and need to set an example. Especially in terms of killing, we must not do the old things and be regarded as demons. As for the rest of the rules, you can slowly adapt to them."
The believers bowed their heads: "Respect the Master's order."
The "demons" of the Four Symbols Sect are not formed by their inherently vicious personalities. The followers are not bloodthirsty and evil. In this respect, they may not even be as violent as the Blood God Sect. It's just that because of the original doctrine, they act more demonically. The meaning of "this world originally belongs to our Night Emperor, the Human Emperor must be our Azure Dragon, and everyone else is fake and can be shot down" is very obvious, so they are called demons.
But times have changed. Now that there is a real god sitting down to bless the Vermillion Bird, and the emperor is really his own Azure Dragon, the Four Symbols Sect has no soil for the existence of the devilish attributes. This is their ideal kingdom of God. Now the evil ones are the rebels who are separatist in various places. Damn it, how dare you disobey my Azure Dragon Saint Emperor
Xia Chichi said: "The biggest advantage of the Holy Religion lies in the influence of the people. It just so happens that the court has an important matter now and needs the response of the people."
"Master, please give your orders."
"Previously, the imperial court selected scholars from aristocratic families. They not only controlled the court, but their students and former officials were like spider webs that spread all over the place. There were countless people like Zhai Muzhi. I intend to reform... The previous emperor once promoted the military examination to strengthen the military and the Demon Suppression Division, which was considered an independent force from the aristocratic families. But this is not enough. The previous emperor never had the concept of governing the country, and the affairs of government are still controlled by the aristocratic families. We need to expand from the military examination to the literary examination... Others may encounter great resistance if they want to do such a thing, but we are the Four Symbols Sect!"
We are the Four Symbols Sect.
When it comes to grassroots power, the religious background is very suitable for this purpose, and it is enough to offset the deep-rooted local power of aristocratic families.
On the other hand, in terms of literacy rate and cultural level, folk religious figures are much better than pure martial arts sects because they are intentionally cultivated. Although they are far from the level of aristocratic families, they can still support a large-scale imperial examination and official selection.
It doesn't matter if the aristocratic families resist. As long as there is large-scale civilian participation and the officials selected are all followers of the Four Symbols Church, will the aristocratic families be able to sit still
If it were a regular court, it would have to worry about rebellions in various places, but what is there for the court to fear now? Rebellions are already everywhere. Now the court only controls the areas around the capital, the Jianghuai area, and the Yanmen garrison. It is not even clear if the Tang family in Jiangnan can be counted. It is already a mess, and it is tantamount to rebuilding the world from scratch. The only forces that need to be gambled are the old forces such as Lu Jianzhang. If not now, when
It’s just that while Xia Chichi was talking about business, his mind was wandering.
The damn turtle ran away without knowing when... Is this how you act like a venerable? He didn't let anyone off from the beginning to the end, just sitting aside as a mascot, and almost cracking some sunflower seeds. When the government affairs were discussed, he didn't even crack some sunflower seeds and ran away.
One of them was sneaking around, the other was dating a man, and in such a large sect, he was the only one left working seriously. Xia Chichi finally understood what a boomerang was, and this time it hit him. What was the mood of the Suzaku Venerable when he maintained this sect...
Wait a moment…
She supported me to be the leader and was willing to be the assistant. Isn't it selfless and actually she wants to pass on the responsibility
… …
While Xia Chichi was trying to become the leader, Suzaku Zun collapsed on the altar, his mask still on, his eyes blank, his robes still open, his legs drooping weakly on the side of the table, bouncing.
The copied doctrines were scattered all over the ground like snowflakes floating in the sky.
In his dazed mind, Zhuque was confusedly thinking, if it was a cult sacrifice or something, then wasn't his scene a typical evil demon ritual
Even Zhao Changhe's performance was very different from when he was with Huangfu Qing before, and he was obviously more excited. As expected, the gods and demons were in sync.
But the surging power in the body is real. If he had just conquered the Heart Flame, he had broken through the third level of secret treasure, and after such a long period of precipitation, he had reached the middle level. Then now he could definitely be said to be at the peak of the third level and was on the threshold of the realm of control.
If you want to break the defense, it is very simple. Just go to the place where you had your previous consciousness wandering and experience it in person and it will be done.
To say that this was achieved through dual cultivation is not the right answer. Dual cultivation is just a key. What really achieved this was the analysis of the Heavenly Book and the mustard seed-like movement of the universe. This was not Zhao Changhe's own method, but this underground secret realm was a magic weapon. This was the effect of the magic weapon. What could be done here was completely different from what could be done outside.
But Zhuque was sure that even if it was Xia Longyuan, he could descend to any place in the sky, but he couldn't take people to travel. Otherwise, taking Xia Chichi to travel to Tianya Island directly could save a lot of trouble and reduce a lot of variables, which meant that Xia Longyuan definitely couldn't take people with him, but Zhao Changhe did it.
"How did you do it?" Zhuque sat up weakly, leaned on the man's arms and asked in a low voice: "Your practice has just broken through the third level of secret storage, how did you achieve something that only gods can do?"
Zhao Changhe lowered his head and kissed her: "I'm telling the truth, just don't think I'm deliberately picking out the ones you like to listen to."
Suzaku shook his head: "No."
Zhao Changhe said: "When I forged the Galaxy Sword, the stars responded exactly as I did. My control over this sky is greater than that of Old Xia himself. Otherwise, what's the point of me forging the sword... In this sense, I am truly the Night Emperor, and there is no need for you to worry about whether you are a traitor or not."
Zhuque was stunned for a long while: "You didn't tell me before? And you deliberately challenged me, you must subdue me, right?"
"How can you believe what I say if I don't do anything?" Zhao Changhe said, "Besides, I really don't intend to do anything in the name of a god... Between you and me, it's just you and me. If you want to beat me, you can beat me. If you want to punish me, you can punish me. Is it interesting to say that you are a god?"
When the feelings between the two were simply a matter between the two of them, and were not based on so-called faith, and it was only after the matter was established that he discovered that it was indeed related to faith, that feeling really made Suzaku feel extremely happy. She pouted slightly and whispered, "You only know how to say nice things. Do you dare to say that you have never thought about making the Venerable Suzaku kneel in front of you?"
Zhao Changhe whispered in her ear: "You know what I want..."
Zhuque said, "You want to humiliate me again, don't you? Why don't you do the same to Tang Wanzhuang?"
here we go…
Zhao Changhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and whispered: "But what I like most is Suzaku's lips... I don't have such strong feelings for others..."
Zhuque didn't know whether he should feel proud or ashamed of his obsession, and now there was no need for Zhuque to show his reserve in front of him anymore, and he was willing in his heart.
But at this moment, Suzaku did not do as he wished. The phoenix eyes under the mask turned around and suddenly said, "I don't believe it. If someone else came, you might be just as happy..."
As the words came out, the slender hand that seemed to have become limp suddenly reached out and said, "Like her?"
With a cry of "Ouch!", a Sanniang was caught from somewhere.
She had sneaked in and was about to enjoy Suzaku's oral service, but was caught off guard. She couldn't withstand Suzaku's aerial attack, who had made rapid progress in practice. She flew up like a cloud and fell onto the stage.
"Uh... well, what a coincidence, you are here too..." Sanniang stepped back cautiously: "I was just passing by, you guys continue, continue..."
This time Zhao Changhe didn't hold back and pulled her back: "Are you happy that you used the out-of-context video clip to trick me this morning? Honorable Xuanwu, what crime should you be punished for?"
