Chapter 484 The emperor has a lot of plans in Duli, Su Hui goes down the mountain to hold the gold
"Master Zhang..." "Master Li!"
"Master Zhou is here? Please hurry!"
"Master Zheng, Lord Wang, it's so late, why don't you come out to eat?"
In the Tianzidu mansion, a group of silk and satin adults and villains gathered together.
They sipped tea around the table, admired flowers outside the pavilion, looked at the clouds and sang their hearts, looking happy.
The people at Tianzidu have always been talkative. These people have been in Tianzidu for many years, and they are official figures, and they know how to ramble.
A group of people who were fighting openly and secretly were able to chat with each other happily for half an hour without saying a single useful word.
It wasn't until a servant came in and said that the spies outside the house reported back that the voices of the crowd died down a little bit.
The local magistrate smiled and said: "It's rare that several adults gathered together, they were all disturbed by the thunder, and couldn't sleep at night. Since the spies came back, why don't you come to report quickly?!"
Everyone nodded and summoned each other.
These people are all human beings, and the reason they are gathered together is mainly due to the number of thunder clouds outside the city, which really makes them unable to control.
Only one party of spies was allowed to check, lest that person's investigation was incomplete.
This kind of thing, even the spies of your own family can't believe it, and the spies from all sides have to add up to make you feel a little bit more confident.
The spies from various families outside the mansion came in together and talked about what they had seen and heard.
It turned out that when they went outside the city, they saw a low mountain, and at some point there was a golden temple. The thunder and fire roared endlessly, and they all hit the golden temple, and they didn't go anywhere else.
Strange to say, the thunderous continuous thunder and lively thunderball fire did not damage the hall in the slightest.
The spies hesitated for a long time, not daring to get too close, peeping secretly, and could vaguely see a few figures in the hall.
They thought that they would not dare to enter, and they would not be able to go back to do business like this, so they forced their courage and quietly drew those people in the hall.
The thunder roared there, the lightning flickered endlessly, and if you opened your eyes for a while, you would feel that the sun was dazzling and the pain was unbearable. It was really not easy for them to draw this picture.
Several pieces of paper were placed on the stone table to form a large painting for everyone to watch.
The local magistrate frowned and looked again and again, but he didn't see who these people were, but he looked around and listened to all directions, and found that among the people around him, Zhou Fang, who had been placed by the Seven Killers, had a slight change in his eyes, something strange .
"This week, Fang, do you know someone in this temple?" '
The local magistrate had this in mind, and thought about it carefully, "Seven Kills, Seven Kills, the people here, do they have anything to do with Seven Kills?" '
He stared at the people in the painting, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and saw a silhouette among them, with a majestic appearance and an extraordinary bearing.
These few spies are the backbones trained by all parties, and their painting skills are very vivid.
The magistrate had seen the leader of the Seven Kills Sect, and he observed carefully at this moment, and couldn't help but secretly startled.
That person really looks like the leader of the Seven Killers, but judging by the behavior of the people in the hall, it is like a teacher and all the disciples, and the leader of the Seven Killers is actually one of the disciples.
The magistrate made such a discovery, how could the other people not notice it at all, although their faces were barely calm, their thoughts were already different.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Wang Tianliang of Wen Xiangjiao touched the jade belt around his waist and said with a smile, "I think this hall is extraordinary, it must be auspicious from heaven. Although thunder and fire are coming together, it is not surprising that there are many strange omens when treasures are born. Since thunder and fire have never harmed All the beasts in the mountains and forests have never spread to Tianzidu, so I don't need to worry about it, it's just a spectacle."
Someone next to him immediately nodded: "That's right, that's right, this kind of thing is not surprising, everyone, go back and rest."
Amidst the dry laughter of the crowd, they found someone to come and print a few copies of those paintings, each took a copy, and then left.
Several spies were also sent out of the mansion, but I don't know why.
After walking far away, a spy complained in a low voice: "We were asked to investigate. We were trembling, and our eyes were almost blinded. After drawing a picture, we said it was a spectacle, so we just ignored it. Out is out."
"Hey! How can I say that he is an adult, beats the child on a rainy day, and is idle when he is idle, and gives a few casual orders, anyway, let us run errands to do things, it is just like selling things for free. "
The people above are fighting openly and secretly, but the spies below have actually worked together for a long time, and are often assigned to investigate the same thing, so it is inevitable to develop some friendship.
Anyway, I only receive so much money every month, so what is my life?What enmity do we have when adults fight over theirs?
Sometimes they bump into each other on the road, some people have come back from exploring, and some people are just going. If the person behind is sensible, he can simply ask someone to squat down and eat two steamed buns together, or make an appointment to have a drink in two days, and the person in front Give my brother a share of the things I explored, and save the effort of running errands for the latter one.
Among the few people, there was also a clever one who showed off intentionally. After looking around, he pulled the brothers to the wall and whispered: "Are you really stupid when you are grown-ups? They know that this matter is not easy to manage. Thunder and fire refining the palace, day and night, what a skill is this, can the adults take care of it?"
"They didn't dare to go on their own, and they couldn't say it clearly. They went back and wrote letters to the real powerful forces behind them to send reinforcements."
The man guessed not wrong.
Some of those adults did want to go back and write letters, but there were also some who didn't need to write letters.
Wang Tianliang was the leading figure of Wenxiang Sect who had been placed in Tianzidu.
Among the eight major sects in the north, Bagua Sect and Wenxiang Sect were rumored to be able to make alchemy in the early years, and they used this method to gather money.
However, after Taoist Jiugong took over the Bagua Sect, he had many disciples and formed an army of Dharma protectors, so he seldom mentioned any panacea.
After all, he has already mastered martial power, so there is no need to use some unreliable tricks. Even if there are any good alchemy recipes in the Eight Diagrams Sect, most of them are kept for their own enjoyment, so there is no reason to let them out.
But Wenxiangjiao is different. When Wenxiangjiao was founded, it is said that when a woodcutter was cutting firewood in the mountains, he met an injured white fox. gift.
Among the foxtails, there are many spiritual prescriptions, which can be made into 36 kinds of top-grade divine fragrances, 72 kinds of middle-grade precious fragrances, and [-] kinds of mortal fragrances. They are good at curing diseases and descaling, warming temperament, and enlightening wisdom. , Exorcising evil and exorcising ghosts, each has its own benefits, and there are endless words.
Their sect has risen rapidly, and in just over ten years, it has flowed and distributed in several provinces, relying on the support of rich and squires from all over the country, especially those young rich children. , love their fragrances.
However, at that time, the incense of the Wenxiang Sect was still only a common fragrance, with some unintentional medicinal properties, and some strange fragrances researched by warlocks could not be produced on a large scale, so they were only folk sects after all. upper class.
But 50 years ago, when Tai Sui came into the world, Wen Xiangjiao also got a share of Tai Sui. There were many warlocks in the sect. Using Tai Sui, it seemed that some wonderful incense tablets and sachets were really made, which made many dignitaries at that time go crazy. The people of Wenxiang sect regard it as gods.
When they assisted the local officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress the rebels, they also burned incense in the army. The fragrance wafted, dense and dense. When they left the army tent, the soldiers in the army smelled it, and their morale was boosted. .
Wenxiangjiao can develop to the present, occupying the south of the Yellow River, the ancient Central Plains of Yuzhou, and their incense making methods can be said to be indispensable.
After Wang Tianliang led his people to Tianzidu, he naturally did not forget to preach the benefits of their fragrant pills.
How can other people's hands be allowed to let go, they suppressed Wang Tianliang's deeds openly and secretly, and the people at Tianzidu were well-informed, so they were wary of Wang Tianliang's incense slices and powder.
But as time goes by, who doesn't have an emergency for the elderly and children?
After all, Wang Tianliang pushed their fragrances to the circle of local wealthy gentry and businessmen.
The reason why Tianzidu attracts people's attention is that it faces the Bohai Sea in the east, Yanshan Mountain in the north, and the lower reaches of the Haihe River. Money and food are abundant.
The forces of all parties are involved, and they dare not act rashly. They raise troops to occupy this place, so the most useful function of Tianzidu for all parties is to collect taxes.
But how much money can those small merchants and peddlers, ordinary people, have in their hands?
Relying on their incense, Wang Tianliang asked the rich merchants in Tianzidu to pay tribute willingly and regularly every month and every quarter, and got away a large amount of money and silk from here.
The current leader of Wenxiang Sect also praised him greatly and gave him a lot of rewards. Recently, he even entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, sending the guardian Zuo in the sect to plan big things with him.
After Wang Tianliang returned to his mansion, he met with Guardian Zuo in the study.
Wen Xiangjiao's left and right protectors are the right arm of the leader, this left protector is like an old scholar, wearing a kerchief on his head, with a gray beard, and very simple clothes on his body, a cloth robe that has faded from washing.
It's just that he likes to play with jade, and the piece of jade that he is playing with is an ancient jade from the Han Dynasty. It is said that it is in the collection of Huo Guang, a minister of the Han Dynasty. It is worth a thousand gold, but it is just one of the small objects he plays with.
After Wang Tianliang saw him, he told about the incident of Leiyun outside the city, and took out the rubbing portrait of himself, and spread it on the desk.
Guardian Zuo's expression also changed slightly, and he said: "I was practicing in the secret room, although I didn't take it seriously when I heard the thunder, but I never thought it would be like this."
"The Temple of Thunder and Fire Alchemy, there is also such a scene on Wudang Mountain, but that's just because a copper temple stands on a high mountain, and its physical properties attract each other. In thunderstorm weather, it is occasionally hit by a few thunderstorms."
"The great hall outside the city, which caused thunder and fire for days and nights, is definitely not a natural creation. It must have been cast by an expert, just like the heavenly fragrance lotus throne in our teaching."
The sorcerers of the Wenxiang Sect have been researching fragrances for a long time, but it has been two years since they were able to mass-produce some fragrances that transcend the ordinary category.
Otherwise, the people of Wenxiangjiao have changed several directors in Tianzidu for 50 years, and it would not have been until Wang Tianliang took office to successfully grasp the lifeline of these rich businessmen and tycoons in Tianzidu.
In fact, Wang Tianliang still finds this incident a little unbelievable when he thinks about it.
He still remembered that before he came to Tianzidu, he was in charge of making incense in the church. He knew very well that the scale and methods of incense production in the past two years were definitely not what the warlocks in the church could achieve in the past. s level.
On the throne of fragrant lotus that day, the leader gave him one, and he tried it himself.
The throne is shaped like a lotus flower. Once you sit on it, the petals close together. As long as you move the blood inside, the lotus throne will work naturally and produce a wonderful fragrance powder.
Consuming the energy and blood of warriors can be exchanged for a large amount of incense powder. Wang Tianliang still can't figure out how this process works.
In the past two years, it is said that there have been nearly [-] such thrones that are completely beyond the casting level that Wen Xiangjiao should have.
"You said that in that hall, there seems to be the figure of the leader of the Seven Killings. It seems that Yan Pingsheng, an old stubborn, has also received advice from the envoy."
Guardian Zuo was still thinking about it, rubbing his thumb against the piece of ancient jade, and said, "If this is the case, our plan is to start as soon as possible."
Wang Tianliang asked suspiciously: "The envoy? Zuo Hufa, you seem to know the origin of the people in the hall?"
Guardian Zuo pondered for a while, and said: "Brother Wang, with your merits, you should be able to know this secret, anyway, let me explain it to you carefully."
"Do you know what are the top forces in the world today?"
Wang Tianliang said without hesitation: "Naturally, there are eight sects in the north, Ming Dynasty in the south, Jurchen outside the pass, and other countries overseas..."
"Wrong wrong."
Guardian Zuo shook his head again and again, with a half-smile, and sighed, "Our sects are nothing but top forces."
Wang Tianliang was taken aback: "Why did Guardian Zuo say that?"
"Let me tell you, if 50 years ago, our major sects could still occupy a place in the world, but over the past few decades, our progress has been far behind others."
Zuo Hufa said slowly, "Da Ming in the south, Jurchen outside the customs, Xingxiu Sea to the west, behind them, there are real masters, and there are great masters who have reached the twelfth heaven."
"Their power has expanded outwards, sweeping the world, convincing all parties, selecting talents, and teaching martial arts. After 50 years, there are dozens of masters in the eighth and nine heavens under their command, and they have caught a lot of them."
"We thought that the territories of our major sects were self-reliant and kings, but in fact, those three parties didn't want to clash violently, so they deliberately stayed and put them in the gap between the three parties, ignoring them, as a buffer."
Wang Tianliang was dumbfounded.
Eighty-nine heavens, what level is that?
In his memory, their entire Wenxiang Sect had only four or five masters of the Eighth Heaven a few years ago, and the leader had only vaguely stepped into the Nine Heaven by himself.
In fact, Tai Sui Martial Arts has only been in the world for 50 years, and Wang Tianliang admires and envies someone who has stepped into the Nine Heavens.
It is impossible for any practice or achievement in the world without a process of development.
Back then, when there was no Tai Sui, people's lives were fragile and intermittent, and only after a hundred generations of painstaking efforts did they discover the four major achievements in martial arts and the various wonderful uses of ritual magic.
At that time, the most top-notch master of the unity of law and martial arts was no more than a sixth-level master now.
After Tai Sui Martial Arts appeared in the world, although it has advanced by leaps and bounds, the top figures still have to grope forward by themselves, constantly trial and error, and the difficulty is still like a layer of natural moats. It is already a limit to reach the ninth heaven, and it is a miracle to reach the tenth heaven. .
If it is said that in the past 50 years, the world can develop a great master of the twelve heavens, even Wang Tianliang would not believe it.
But he really couldn't see any sign of Zuo Hufa joking.
Looking at his appearance, Zuo Hufa also sighed deeply, just like seeing himself two years ago.
"However, don't be afraid."
There was a smug expression on Zuo Guardian's face, "Two years ago, we Wenxiang Sect was favored by the envoy from the north. The Tianxiang lotus throne was given by the envoy, and he taught many advanced exercises."
"In the past two years, the leader and us have practiced for several hours every day, and we still don't feel it's hard. It's because of the beauty of those exercises that I linger on!!!"
Zuo Hufa's last sentence was full of emotion, with a very strong tone.
No one wants to gain stronger strength and a more resilient life. The reason why so many people give up cultivation and seek enjoyment in other directions is simply because the rewards they get in cultivation are often too meager.
But after receiving the exercises from the envoy, Guardian Zuo can learn new methods almost every time he practices, and he can feel his progress with the naked eye.
Even if it is still only the realm of the Eighth Heaven, Guardian Zuo can be sure that the current self can easily kill ten of the self two years ago.
If he lived without any disasters, he could feel that his lifespan was several times longer than that of himself two years ago.
The feeling that one new method after another has been learned, and the wonderful phenomena that can be controlled are becoming more and more diverse, is really fascinating.
Wang Tianliang was still in shock, unable to recover, he couldn't help asking: "Didn't it mean that they ignored our major sects and kept them as a buffer? How did we get picked on?"
Zuo Hufa said: "No matter how great a master is, no matter how powerful he is, he is not without desires. On the side of the envoys, they really want more people who practice Tai Sui martial arts to emerge in the world, but not everyone can do it." Cultivate into a Taisui body."
"In the past 50 years, they have selected all the people in the world. Now we are left with this land, which has not been carefully screened. Of course, they will start to gradually intervene here."
Whether one can cultivate the body of Tai Sui depends on many factors, such as talent, perseverance, etc., all of which are indispensable.
Tai Sui's flesh and blood is not the more the better. If people who are not used to it consume too much Tai Sui's blood at one time, or take it too frequently, their whole body may be damaged, and it will be dissolved directly, turning into a puddle of pus and blood.
Every martial artist who has cultivated the body of Tai Sui only needs to give a small bottle of blood to others, which can be used as an introduction for another person to cultivate the body of Tai Sui.
However, if the person has taken Tai Sui's blood several times and still fails in the process of transforming his body, then he may not be able to cultivate a Tai Sui body throughout his life.
So in today's world, ordinary people still account for the majority.
The left protector changed Gu Yu's hand, continued to play with it, touched the beard with his right hand, and said: "The past two years have been a good time, and now the three parties are relatively restrained because of their fear of each other. It’s just infiltrating secretly, using our hands to do things.”
"In my opinion, after a few years, there will be a big conquest by the three of them. If we don't seize the good time now and make contributions and grow quickly, it doesn't matter how much benefit we will get, we are only afraid of our lives. Can't make it through."
Wang Tianliang slowed down for a while, his brain gradually recovered from the huge shock, and became active again.
"I understand."
He said, "The person who cast that hall must have been an envoy from the other side. Although he has profound martial arts skills and extraordinary means, since the three parties still maintain a tacit self-restraint, that person will not It’s easy to make big moves.”
"The Leihuo Hall is outside the city, and they didn't come directly to occupy Tianzidu. This must be the reason."
"As long as we step up our actions and use Qi to bring Tianzidu under control, the one outside the city won't have much to say. Guardian Zuo, do you think this makes sense?"
Zuo Hufa laughed and said: "The child can be taught, but brother Wang's brain is still easy to use."
"Since that person has found Yan Pingsheng, he must start with the Seven Kills Sect. The Seven Kills Sect is far away in Sichuan and Sichuan. The matter of Tianzidu is actually not that urgent."
"After we occupy Tianzidu, we will send some gifts to that person in a good manner, and send him back to Sichuan, and nothing will happen."
Wang Tianliang hesitated and said: "After all, that person's methods are unpredictable, we may not be able to resist, should we inform the sect, and it is best to ask the envoy to help?"
Guardian Zuo's smile faded, and he said seriously: "Please ask the envoy for everything, how can we show our credit?"
Zuo Hu spoke with a deep focus, "Brother Wang, seek wealth and wealth."
Wang Tianliang's heart shook, remembering that he was two years behind the others in the sect, he couldn't help biting his teeth, and nodded fiercely: "Okay, let's go get Tianxiang Guixin Water, spread it out with all hands, once the bottle is opened, the water Turn into Qi and control the whole process!"
Guardian Zuo nodded secretly, stroked his beard and remained silent.
He knew the level of an envoy in general, and he boasted that if something happened, he would be able to get away with some confidence if he took action.
And if everything goes well, then I have my own share of the credit, and I have been coveting some good things that the envoy bestowed on the church for a long time.
This risk is worth taking.
They were plotting here, not paying attention to the portrait spread on the table.
In the portrait hall, sitting on a high platform, the figure with closed eyes resting his mind is just a shadow outlined by a few ink blots, his facial features are blurred, but at this moment his eyes seem to be open.
Wang Tianliang was not the only one who took away the rubbing portrait, and he was not the only one who was discussing plans with others because of the vision of the Leiguang Hall at this moment.
The Son of Heaven crosses.
In the Thunder Fire Hall.
Guan Luoyang opened his eyes and sneered after hearing what happened in all directions.
"It's really thunder. What kind of ghosts and snakes, poisonous insects, rats and ants have all come out."
He took out a piece of paper from inside, and with a slight shake of his hand, the electric light left scorched marks, winding on the paper, forming clear writing and pictures.
Everyone in the hall was practicing, Guan Luoyang glanced over and saw that Su Hui didn't have anyone else paying attention, so he called him.
Su Hui was startled, opened his eyes suddenly and raised his hands to straighten his back: "Here!"
The voice startled several of his companions, who glanced at him.
Only then did Su Hui realize that he was not at school, so he put his hands down awkwardly.
Guan Luoyang flicked the paper into his hand, and said, "Your way is really not suitable for this kind of cultivation, so go out for a while."
"That day, in a mere city in Zidu, the people in power had all kinds of thoughts, each with their own ghosts."
"You follow the route marked on me, the human face, according to my annotations, those who should be killed should be discarded, and the crimes should be written to inform the people, and hung on the gate tower south of Tianzidu, exposed to the sun for three days."
"The others who should be beaten, come to my main hall and kneel for three days, let Huanghuang Leiyin wash their hearts, lungs and intestines."
Su Hui took the paper and glanced at it. The routes and faces on it were very detailed. Beside each face, their star rating was written.
"Is... am I alone?"
Su Hui hesitated, "There are some people here, fighting alone, I'm afraid I may not be able to win."
Guan Luoyang smiled and said, "If I let you go, I will naturally make you feel confident."
He wiped it from his sleeve and pulled out three golden needles as thin as a hair.
"You take these three golden hairs. I'll teach you a way. Listen carefully."
