Su Yun thought for a moment and said, "If this is really possible, then Qin Wuling must have realized the art of soul clones when he was in Tiandaoyuan Gelong. Could he have created such a strange skill at that time? He was only a person who lived 150 years ago."
The spiritual clone is an extremely remarkable skill even now, and even Qiu Shuijing, Di Ping, Lao Hu and others cannot detect it.
If the team leader Qin Wuling could have created this kind of martial arts one hundred and fifty years ago, then his talent would be truly terrifying.
Yingying was dejected, but she knew that Su Yun was right.
If Qin Wuling had invented the art of soul splitting at that time, he could have faked his death in the Dragon Tomb Burial Case, concealed the truth, deceived the Dragon Spirit, the Human Demon, and Han Jun.
But if he had survived the Dragon Tomb Burial Case, he wouldn't have had to remain incognito for so many years, and he wouldn't have had to survive as Miao Bi Dan Qing.
"My guess is that after the Dragon Tomb Burial Case was over, Han Jun brought you and the Pen Monster to the Eastern Capital. Han Jun was penniless, so he sold the Pen Monster to the young Cen Bo. Han Jun changed his name to Xue Gongqing, was admitted to Tiandao Academy again, and sent you to Wenyuan Pavilion to be a book monster."
Su Yun speculated, "Cen Bo liked this book monster very much, so he enlightened him and named him Danqing. Miaobi Danqing worshipped the Confucian saint Cen Bo as his teacher, and the miscellaneous saint Wen Guanshan was also studying Confucianism under Cen Bo at that time. The Taoist saint and the Buddha saint did not get along well, but they had a common friend, the Confucian saint Cen Bo. So Miaobi Danqing and Wen Guanshan had the opportunity to come into contact with Buddhist and Taoist skills and magical powers."
Yingying listened attentively and suddenly said, "Wen Guanshan's knowledge is very diverse, he has dabbled in various schools of thought, but he should have learned a lot about painting and calligraphy as well."
Su Yun nodded and said, "They have another disciple named Lingyue. Lingyue was restless. After seeing the new learning in the West and even the shortcomings of the old sacred learning, he decided to revise the old sacred learning. This caused displeasure from the Confucian sage Cenbo, who expelled him from the school. Therefore, Lingyue became an abandoned disciple of the Confucian school and wandered outside. It happened that Zuo Pushe returned from overseas and opened a Wenchang Academy."
Yingying's eyes lit up: "Wenchang Academy is very different. It takes the path of applying knowledge to practice, which is different from other academies. Therefore, it was excluded by other academies, so it needed someone to take the blame. So, Zuo Pushe recruited Mr. Lingyue to the academy to take the blame."
Su Yun asked: "So what was the opportunity that caused Ling Yue to decide to modify the old saint's unique skills?"
Yingying thought for a moment and suddenly shuddered: "This opportunity, like the opportunity for Shui Jing to study abroad, is that Yuan Shuo was defeated! The Celestial Empire was defeated by the barbarians back then!"
It was a huge shock, which impacted the Taoism of everyone in Yuanshuo, especially the scholars and knowledgeable people who were proud of Yuanshuo's history and culture!
Qiu Shuijing and his classmates, some chose to study abroad to learn from foreign countries' strengths, and some chose to stay in the country to resist foreign aggression.
Zuo Songyan, who had been following in Qiu Shuijing's footsteps, also realized the weakness of Yuan Shuo. However, unlike Qiu Shuijing, Zuo Songyan, who came from the bottom of Shuofang, also chose to study abroad, but he felt that only by overthrowing the corrupt court could he change Yuan Shuo's fate of poverty and weakness!
Everyone has different choices.
"In this impact, Mr. Lingyue, the third disciple of the Confucian School, chose to improve the old sage's unique skills. So what are the choices of Miaobi Danqing and Wen Guanshan?"
Su Yun was in a daze, and suddenly said: "Not long after Yuan Shuo was defeated, Emperor Ai died of depression. It is rumored that Miaobi Danqing investigated the cause of Emperor Ai's death and died because of it. The Confucian sage Cenbo investigated Danqing's death and ended up hanging himself on the crooked tree outside Tianmen Town."
Yingying said: "At that time, the Miscellaneous Saint Wen Guanshan had already been the prime minister of Yuan Shuo. He had long been revered as the Miscellaneous Saint and one of the four great myths. When Emperor Ai died, he entrusted Yuan Shuo to Wen Guanshan and asked him to help the Yuan family look after the country."
Su Yun said: "Danqing entered the sect many years earlier than Wenguanshan. Wenguanshan is one of the four great myths. How far has Danqing's cultivation progressed? When did he break the memory seal left by Han Jun and awaken Qin Wuling's memory?"
Yingying was stunned.
"After he awakened his memory, he realized that he was no longer Danqing, and he also had the complete Sixteen Chapters of the True Dragon. He experienced the upheaval of Yuan Shuo's defeat. What was his choice?"
Su Yun whispered: "Danqing's choice caused a drastic change. In this drastic change, Emperor Ai died, Cen Bo died, and Wen Guanshan also died."
Yingying shuddered. What Su Yun said was a little vague, but she saw the scene.
Danqing broke into the palace at night and killed Emperor Ai. He then summoned Wen Guanshan in the name of Emperor Ai and killed him.
He borrowed Wen Guanshan's identity, set up many puzzles, and used his own body, that is, the pen, to lead his teacher, the Confucian sage Cen Bo, to Tianshiyuan and to the Ghost Market.
Cen Bo came to Tianshiyuan to investigate the cause of death of Danqing and Emperor Ai. Danqing was waiting there and hanged his teacher.
Yingying shuddered again and remained silent for a long time before she said, "Team leader Qin Wuling is honest and upright. He would never do this. Senior Qin Wuling may really be dead."
Su Yun said: "So, Danqing is just a person who possesses Qin Wuling's memories."
Yingying nodded silently, and suddenly asked: "Then, what is the reason for Danqing to do this? Yuan Shuo was defeated, and he was greatly stimulated. He chose another path and killed Emperor Ai, the Miscellaneous Saint, and the Confucian Saint. What is his purpose?"
Su Yun was also puzzled.
Is Danqing's purpose in doing this just to seize power and satisfy his own desire for power
Or did he want to become emperor himself and abolish the old school of thought and establish the new one
"I'm afraid Han Jun is the only one who knows his thoughts."
Su Yun suddenly said: "Yingying, although you are an eyewitness to the Burial of Dragon Mausoleum, the one who truly understands Qin Wuling is not you, but Han Jun."
Yingying felt lost and asked, "So where are these two people now?"
Su Yun looked into the distance and said, "They are now in the most serious condition. The masks of the two saints, Han Jun, were broken by Mr. Shui Jing, leaving only the mask of Xue Qingfu. However, Xue Qingfu is also seriously injured, and Wutong and Jiao Shuao are chasing him. As for Danqing, no one knows where he is."
As Huahu walked over here, Su Yun's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly asked: "Second brother, where is your teacher Mr. Lingyue?"
Huahu said, "I haven't seen him in the past few days."
Su Yun's heart was slightly shaken: "Mr. Lingyue went to hunt down Danqing!"
His mind suddenly became clear, and he looked into the distance, toward the mist-shrouded city of East Capital.
Thirty-five years ago, Yuan Shuo was defeated. The impact of the choice made by the elites of an era continues to this day and is becoming more and more severe!
The different choices made by the elites of that era led to the outbreak of conflicts among them, resulting in the current situation in Yuan Shuo!
Yingying listened to his inner voice in his spirit world, and silently said in her heart: "Master Su's hypothesis is based on the fact that Senior Brother Qin Wuling is dead. If Senior Brother Qin Wuling was not dead in the case of the Burial of Longling, then this decision would have come earlier..."
In the case of the burial of Longling, Han Jun and Qin Wuling, two top geniuses, made their choices that led to their different future directions, and Jin'er affected Yuan Shuo's current situation.
As long as the two of them are alive, the impact of the Longling Burial Case will continue.
"So, these cases in Dongdu may actually be the same case."
Yingying blinked and thought, "It's possible that they all originated from the Dragon Burial Mausoleum case, starting with the dragon falling from Tianshiyuan."
Su Yun began to prepare for the upcoming trip abroad. Most of the scholars sent by the court to study abroad this time were selected from Tiandao Academy.
There were many talented people in this exam of Tiandao Academy. Su Yun used "Sixteen Chapters of True Dragon" as the examination topic and selected many talented scholars.
However, many aristocratic families had already received the news that this batch of Tiandao Academy scholars would be sent overseas, so they did not apply for Tiandao Academy.
On the contrary, the Tai Academy in Xidu benefited greatly from the Tiandao Academy examination. These children of aristocratic families eventually chose the Tai Academy.
Brother and sister Li Muge and Li Zhuxian were originally not able to get into Tiandao Academy. They just had a good foundation, but their comprehension was a little lacking. Unexpectedly, they were admitted to Tiandao Academy!
"If our ancestral tomb was still there, it would surely shine brightly and brilliantly!" Li Muge clenched his fist and looked up at the sky.
Su Yun was quite surprised that Wutong was among those recruited by Tiandao Academy this time. "All the fellow students from Wenchang Academy were admitted to Tiandao Academy. I, the eldest senior brother, have made great contributions and I am honored to be part of it!"
This time, all twenty scholars from Tiandao Academy will go overseas. The date has been set, which is next month, that is, the third day of June.
As time drew closer, news about the reform gradually spread. Qiu Shuijing took charge of the power and promulgated new laws one after another, reforming the land and mines, reshaping agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, and reforming the tax system. People in the Eastern Capital were talking about it.
Su Yun took some time to read it. The law is a good one. If it can be implemented, it can benefit the people.
However, there was a heated debate in the court, with civil and military officials all saying that Censor Qiu's new laws competed with the people for benefits.
When the people of Dongdu talked about this incident on the streets, they were all indignant and said that there was a treacherous minister in the palace who wanted the emperor to compete with the people for profit.
"The whole world belongs to the emperor, but he still wants to take money out of the pockets of the people! This Qiu Shuijing is really a piece of shit!"
"This reform is to send the last bit of money in our pockets to the palace!"
"The emperor has treacherous ministers around him!"
Su Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard these discussions. Most of the people in Dongdu were aristocratic families and big landlords, so it was natural for them to say such things. But it was a bit ridiculous that some poor people also followed the crowd and said such things.
"Mr. Shuijing's move is to make the aristocratic families hand over their precious lands and redistribute them in the name of the country; to take back the coinage rights of the prefectures and counties and return them to the court; the court will unify the tax system, and the tax systems of all regions will be unified, and the prefectures and counties will not have the right to increase taxes and collect money. This is a good thing, but why is there a chorus of opposition from the lower levels?"
Su Yun was also a little puzzled, so he asked Hua Hu. Hua Hu said, "It's probably because the world belongs to the emperor. The people think that the benefits belong to the emperor and it's not their turn, so they are good at stirring up trouble."
Finally it was June. Su Yun was ready, and the twenty Tiandao Academy scholars were also ready, but Wutong had not returned yet.
On the second day of June, the girl Wutong came late and asked Su Yun, "Can we leave two days later? The devilish energy in Dongdu is advancing by leaps and bounds, which is very beneficial to my practice. I want to spend these two days absorbing some devilish energy and witnessing the birth of the Demon King in Dongdu before leaving."
Su Yun smiled and asked, "You have always said that Dongdu has nurtured a demon king. Who is the demon king of Dongdu?"
Wutong just didn't answer.
Su Yun asked her about the whereabouts of Xue Qingfu, and Wutong only said that she had tortured him for more than ten days, but he escaped.
It was also on this day that Hua Hu said to Su Yun: "I will go back to Shuofang with Mr. Ling Yue to treat his injuries. Mr. Ling Yue is injured."
Su Yun felt uneasy and asked, "Was he injured by Danqing?"
"The sir didn't say." Huahu left.
Su Yun went to see Qiu Shuijing. Qiu Shuijing had lost a lot of weight in the past ten days, but his complexion was still good. He said, "I plan to promote some new officials to replace those old stubborn ones."
Su Yun relayed Hua Hu's words to him, saying, "These days, I found that some people have been secretly monitoring me, which shows that your situation is also extremely dangerous."
Qiu Shuijing smiled and said, "They are just some people from aristocratic families. The people do not see the benefits, so they criticize the new law, but as long as the new law is implemented, in a year or so, people will be able to see the benefits of the new law. You are leaving tomorrow, and I am too busy with official duties to see you off."
Su Yun said goodbye to him and said, "Sir, be careful."
On the second day, Su Yun, along with Ye Luo and several other officials from the Supervisory Department, and twenty scholars boarded the Candle Dragon Chariot from the Eastern Capital to the East China Sea.
Li Zhuxian bought a carriage to house the big bird Tianfeng.
Wutong was reluctant to leave, and kept looking back, looking at Yuhuang Mountain, and said: "The evil nature of Dongdu will erupt in a few days. If we can wait a few more days..."
On the fourth day of June, they arrived at Donghai County, where there was a dock leading to overseas, called Haiyi, with many ships traveling to and from Western countries.
"You can't go out to sea in the near future. There are demons causing trouble on the sea. Several ships have sunk." The officials at the Sea Post told them.
Su Yun had no choice but to order the scholars to stay in Donghai County first, saying, "Wait until the wind and sea calm down before setting off again."
Wutong talked about the demon in Dongdu again and said, "This is a peerless demon king! You raised him, it's a pity that you can't go and see him."
Su Yun washed up, went out, and asked Li Zhuxian, "Can I borrow Tianfeng for a while?"
Li Zhuxian was somewhat unhappy and said, "Every time I lend it to you, she becomes closer to you." Having said that, she still lent Tianfeng to Su Yun.
Su Yun jumped onto the back of the Sky Phoenix and asked, "Can you run faster than the Land Candle Dragon?"
"Guo'er—"
Tianfeng leaped up, rushed out like an arrow, and galloped away.
"Shuao, let's go too!" Wutong shouted hurriedly.
Jiao Shuao transformed into a black dragon, rushed over quickly, and asked in a deep voice: "Where are you going?"
"Go back to Dongdu!"
In Dongdu, Qiu Shuijing was handling official business. He took a break from his busy schedule and looked out the window again. He saw that the sky was cloudless except for a single white cloud floating in the sky. He couldn't help but wonder, "What kind of cloud is this? It seems to have been floating here motionless..."
At this moment, a sudden sound of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting exploded in the Eastern Capital, rolling and surging towards the Imperial City. Countless people shouted loudly: "Kill Shui Jing, and clear the emperor's side!"
The cloud in the sky suddenly moved, like countless dust particles flying towards the Dongdu City below.
Qiu Shuijing suddenly remembered that this cloud had appeared and never moved since Su Yun came to Dongdu.
That is the Dust Veil Sky, the treasure that Su Yun uses to protect him.
