Chapter 290: The birth of the Heavenly Palace, the beginning of the Wanshou Immortal Dynasty
Xu Qing knew very well in his heart that the thoughts of sentient beings were a double-edged sword for him.
It is not only a precious food to nourish Taichu's demonic qi, but it is also a deadly poison that poisons Taichu's demonic qi.
Taishi Demon Qi is undoubtedly the core of his devil, just like a unique core code. Once it is missing, he will lose himself and completely lose his sense of autonomy.
In comparison, although Taichu Demon Qi is not as important as Taishi Demon Qi in maintaining self-awareness, its functionality is also irreplaceable. Without the Taichu Demon Qi, the magical powers mastered by Xu Qing will no longer be used, let alone the "other-transformed freedom" to steal other people's magical powers, or even transform into the demon king and protect the Dharma.
Thinking of this, Xu Qing secretly thanked that fortunately, she had not been worshipped by every household. With his current state of Taishi's demonic qi, he could not resist the massive thoughts of sentient beings arising from the worship of every household.
He sighed softly and made a "selfless" decision: "Personal worship must be restricted in the future."
This time, the portrait incident of Emperor Wenchang was just a blow. The edge ball has not had any major problems for the time being, but the hidden dangers have been laid, so I have to be guarded against.
However, successfully opening up the inner world was a great harvest, allowing him to take a key step on the road of cultivation.
Now at the end of spring plowing, the high-yield crops brought back from South China are promoted simultaneously in the north and south.
Due to the extreme food scarcity in the north, the promotion of high-yield crops is extremely powerful, as if it has seized a life-saving straw.
In contrast, the situation in the south is very different. In the southern Fujian region of Lingnan, these high-yield crops received good responses, and the people happily accepted them and tried to plant them.
However, in the areas of Nanzhili and Zhijiang Province, promotion work has encountered many obstacles. Local people think these high-yield crops have poor taste and would rather take them to feed them to livestock.
In addition, the business prosperity of these two provinces is far beyond other regions, and farming has become the last-rate business in the eyes of ordinary people.
Some local tyrants even suggested that the court arrest more overseas natives and come back to serve as coolies to help farm the fields.
There are also many ordinary people who simply rented the land to refugees who fled from the north to farm because they entered the workshop to work. It turns out that some economically developed states and prefectures have issued regulations that only people with local good household registration are eligible to enter the workshop to do work.
Yingtian Mansion has regained the supreme glory of "Jing Ye". Walking in the streets and alleys, there is prosperity and confidence everywhere.
Now Ying Tianren looked at the capital, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, as if he was saying that the capital was a gathering place for rural bullies.
Looking at the entire Dayu Dynasty, only Jiangning people could barely compete with Yingtian people in terms of momentum and background.
But not long ago, an official proposed to merge Yingtian Prefecture and Jiangning Prefecture, on the grounds that the two places are very close and can better integrate resources after the merger.
This proposal instantly ignited the anger of the people of Jiangning. In their hearts, Xu Liushou was the eternal pride of Jiangning Mansion. Yingtian Mansion was blatantly plotting against them, and the abacus beads were almost jumping on their faces.
The gentry in Jiangning gathered urgently to discuss countermeasures. With a lot of indignation and reluctance, they jointly wrote to the court.
The letter in this letter is sincere and full of affection. It lists the long history and profound cultural heritage of Jiangning Prefecture in detail, emphasizes Jiangning's unique status in the Dayu Dynasty, and firmly expresses that it must not be annexed by Yingtian Prefecture.
The letter also specifically mentioned Xu Qing, a storied figure who came out of Jiangning, and said that he was a symbol of glory in Jiangning. The uniqueness of Jiangning Mansion was even more prominent because of him and could not be erased by anyone.
At the same time, the officials of Yingtian Prefecture were not willing to be outdone and quickly handed over their own memoranda.
The compilation elaborates on the many benefits of merging Yingtian and Jiangning in detail... It can even provide a broader space for Xu Liushou's reform measures and accelerate the reform process of the Dayu Dynasty.
The two sides held their own opinions and refused to give in to each other. For a time, the debate in the court was in full swing...
Xu Qing lacked interest in this debate in the court, and was happy to see these officials. They argue endlessly.
In his opinion, if the officials in the court no longer argue, that would be a real dangerous signal.
I have to say that a person’s position is often determined by his or her position.
Now Xu Qing's perspective is getting closer and closer to the old emperor. He subconsciously likes to watch his subordinates in factional battles, while he acts as the referee who controls the overall situation.
This sense of control made him feel an inexplicable sense of peace deep in his heart, as if everything was in his own control.
Xu Qing read "The Prince" in his previous life. He knew very well that in the ancient world, once he took the position of a monarch, he would often instinctively develop towards a Machiavelli-like dictator.
Qianlong is a typical representative.
This type of dictator takes the maintenance of ruling power as the highest principle and is a thorough pragmatist.
They applied the art of power to the extreme, and in order to consolidate their power, they did not hesitate to use various means such as fraud, violence, and Huairou. In their eyes, good and evil deeds are just tools of rule, not moral norms.
Some people even bluntly say: "Being afraid is safer than being loved."
In addition, they also believe that the people are easily driven by interests and have a changeable temperament, so they need to pass Severe punishment and severe laws are used to maintain social order, rather than relying on moral influence.
They are good at using means such as differentiating the powerful, supporting the trustworthy, and controlling public opinion to dismantle potential threats; at the same time, they will spare no effort to weaken their powerful neighbors to prevent possible disasters.
In addition, they are also very good at diverting contradictions, such as deliberately creating external threats or internal enemies, diverting people's dissatisfaction, and thus stabilizing their rule.
They will mercilessly suppress the rebels; but they will show a tolerant side to create a deterrent image of "equality and power".
Xu Qing recalled the old emperor's various methods and found that he almost fully conformed to the characteristics of a Machiavelli-like dictator.
And I also unknowingly got most of the tricks.
Watching this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. If the dynasty really changed, there seemed to be no essential difference between himself and the old emperor.
But when you think about it carefully, there are still differences. I am committed to liberating and developing productivity, at least fewer and fewer people will starve to death in the future. Moreover, perhaps it is possible to enhance the happiness of the people of the Dayu Dynasty through reasonable external strategies, although this method is a real "demonic act".
Xu Qing also often thought, if there was no threat from the old emperor and the old demon of the Black Mountain, he would become an invincible existence in this world, and what would he turn this world into without anyone's restraint?
He tried hard to imagine, but he could never outline that picture.
In other words, good deeds without restraint may turn into overwhelming evil deeds. It is really unpredictable what consequences will absolute power bring.
But even so, he could not deliberately prevent himself from becoming stronger. After all, in this long river of time, no matter how powerful an existence is, it is just a tiny speck of dust.
It is enough for a person to live for a lifetime and be able to do what he thinks is meaningful, so why bother with it too much?
…
…
With this idea, Xu Qing took Xu Xuanhu to Tiangong Academy.
Now there are many rumors outside that Xu Xuanhu is a demon child and will bring disaster to people.
Even Feng Wu locked him up for a time, for fear that he would cause a big disaster and hurt himself or others.
But Xu Qing's attitude towards children was completely different. He knew that devouring the essence of all things was his son's natural magic. It should be regarded as a gift from God, not a curse.
He said to his son gently: "Swallowing all the essence is your natural supernatural power. You should control it, not be afraid of it. Don't worry, if you have your father by your side, you don't have to be afraid of any disaster. ”
He also told Xu Xuanhu earnestly that he should not be afraid of becoming the fourth generation of Black Mountain Old Demon. This may be his fate, but his fate is not unchangeable. If you want to defeat your destiny, you have to rely on yourself.
Even when it is really time to be unable to support itself, his father is still the most solid backing for him.
Xu Xuanhu was innocent and blinked his big eyes and asked, "What if my father can't rely on it?"
Xu Qing answered confidently: "Impossible."
After saying that, he asked the little kid to copy the "Tao Te Ching" a hundred times after he went back. At such a young age, he actually turned out to be a little bit of love and strictness. If you dare to question the adults, you must let him have a good memory.
I have to say that the fourth generation of Black Mountain old monster is indeed different. Xu Xuanhu learned things hundreds and thousands of times faster than ordinary people. It was just a piece of cake for him to remember them after reading them.
He seemed to be born with the wisdom of the past, and he could understand any classics by just a glance. For him, his practice was as relaxed and natural as eating and drinking water.
In fact, the growth rate of each generation of Black Mountain old demon is amazing. The first generation of Black Mountain old demons was also very legendary. He once discussed Taoism with Lao Tzu who wrote the "Tao Te Ching". Later, he went west to Hangu Pass and met Venerable Sakyamuni.
The third generation of Black Mountain Old Demon found the last place of Sakyamuni's place - Yingmao, based on the precious information left by the first generation.
At this time, Xiong Chan was also there.
The great monk had already learned about the fact that Sakyamuni left the inner world on the planet of Yingmao - the Great Leiyin Temple.
For Xiongchan, Da Leiyin Temple is full of endless temptations. If he wants to break through to the realm of the human immortals and even enter a higher level of practice, the Great Leiyin Temple is undoubtedly his most important opportunity.
However, with his current ability, he could not reach the distant Star of Farmor at all.
Therefore, he really needs the help of Tiangong Academy. To this end, Xiongchan will come to Tiangong Academy every now and then to contribute his strength to the "Tiangong Plan".
He knew very well that once the Heavenly Palace was born, he would definitely have the opportunity to cross the starry sky and reach the Star of Yingmao.
This Heavenly Palace is an unparalleled magic weapon. In order to implement the Tiangong Plan, Fang Xiandao almost emptied all relevant foundations in Nanyang.
The old emperor also fully supported this plan, and Master Tianling and Mr. Gu Gu were the core figures of this plan.
Longhu Mountain and Laoshan have also made efforts to promote the progress of the plan.
For any monk, being able to break through the vastness of Tiangang, cross the starry sky, and explore the unknown mysteries of the universe is an extremely exciting thing.
Once the Heavenly Palace is born, there will be clear goals and plans.
The first goal is to break through the atmosphere of Tiangang, break the constraints, and move towards the vast universe; the second goal is to climb the Taiyin Star and explore whether the legendary Moon Palace really exists; the third goal is to go to Yingmao Star, explore the mystery of the Great Leiyin Temple.
This plan is linked together and takes every step forward, requiring everyone to work together and advance steadily.
Of course, those who participated in this plan knew very well that more than a hundred years ago, at its peak, the old demon of the Black Mountain crossed the starry sky with the realm of the Creator and successfully arrived at the Star of Yingmao.
As the plan deepened, everyone had a deeper and more terrifying understanding of the peak strength of the Black Mountain Old Demon, and the power of the Creator was beyond imagination.
Moreover, the old monster of the Black Mountain is not the first terrifying existence to arrive at the Star of Yingmao. At least before that, Sakyamuni had been there.
But Venerable Sakyamuni may not be the first to arrive. Xiongchan found a record in the Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures of the Great Chan Temple, which mentioned that Sakyamuni went to Yingmao to pursue the footsteps of "Lao Dan".
From this, it is very likely that Lao Dan had already stepped on the Star of Yingmao before Sakyamuni.
Although most of the ancient books of the Dayu Dynasty have mixed true and falsehood, nine false and one true, as the saying goes, groundless things may not be without cause. Based on information from all parties, the incident of Daleiyin Temple on Yingmao Star is likely to be true.
Now, the morning bell and mute drum brought back by the old demon of Heishan from the Great Leiyin Temple has been handed over to Master Murong for use. This reincarnated old monster has used these two magic weapons in public more than once.
Xu Qing brought Xu Xuanhu to Tiangong Academy this time to witness the breakthrough progress of the Tiangong Plan. "The prototype of the Heavenly Palace is about to be born!"
The voice of Master Tianling was filled with excitement and expectation.
However, according to his inference, once the "Heaven Palace" is born, it is likely to trigger heavenly punishment. This requires the world's top figures to protect the Dharma to ensure the smooth birth of the Heavenly Palace.
Xiongchan and Xu Qing were both invited, and in addition to this, there were Ji Changxi and Fu Xuan.
Xu Qing did not restrict Fu Xuan's free activities. Although Lao Deng broke his arm, he was still a Martial Saint. During his life in Yingtian Prefecture, he often went to the Zhenwu Palace in Yingtian Prefecture to stroll around.
He and Ji Changxi have been old rivals for many years. When they meet, they refuse to give in and often fight.
But the strange thing is that the two of them are both martial saints. In addition to fighting each other, they often exchange their cultivation experiences and exchange martial arts skills. They can be regarded as a pair of special "old enemies".
As for the other martial saints of the Shuangsaints of Dayu, the martial saints surnamed Jiang, they almost never show up, which is very mysterious.

Xu Qing also found some interesting gossip. Ji Changxi and this Senior Jiang are cousins, but the two are neither married nor Taoist couples.
Fu Xuan knew a lot of gossips, and during the chat, he revealed a past story: Ji Changxi was a little fan of Taoist masters in the Xuantian Shenglong Dao back then.
Xu Qing directly labeled it in his heart, as if Guo Xiang was as obsessed with the Condor Heroes.
He complained about this: "What's the point of an old man? Why not find a cousin? It's not common among the people that cousin, cousin, pair in pairs!"
Thinking of this, he suddenly understood why he was It was so easy to persuade Ji Changxi to help him, and he thought that his handsome and handsome appearance fascinated the old fairy. So that's the case.
Because I am also the successor of her Bai Yueguang!
The lethality of white moonlight to most people in the world is unimaginable.
At this time, Xiongchan walked over with a smile on his face and praised Xu Xuanhu, but his accent was a little problem, and he called "Talented Yuxiu" as "Emperor Yuxiu".
Xu Qingquan was a big monk and did not think too much about it, but just thought that he was kind-hearted.
He smiled and replied, "I get along with my children less often. This time I bring him to see the world. I hope he can gain more knowledge."
The two sides greeted politely and friendlyly. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
At some point, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in Tiangong Hospital. The light was dazzling and mysterious, as if it contained the mystery of the universe.
Even Xiao Xuanhu's eyes were deeply attracted by the strange light and stared at him intently.
Immediately afterwards, an inexplicable aura rippled, mysterious and wonderful, making people feel as if they were in a fairyland.
When the Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain saw this, they recited the Taoist scriptures one after another, with loud and solemn voices; the Taoist priests in Shangqing Palace in Laoshan were not willing to be outdone and recited the scriptures of this sect.
For a moment, the entire Tiangong Academy was shrouded in a grand and majestic atmosphere.
Just as everyone was immersed in this wonderful atmosphere, an illusion of an immortal palace appeared looming. The immortal palace is magnificent and magnificent, as if it was descending from the immortal world to the mortal world. "The Heavenly Palace is about to be born." This thought arose in the hearts of everyone in the Tiangong Academy.
At the same time, such auspicious scene also alarmed all the people in the Tianjing City of Yingtian Prefecture. For a moment, the entire Yingtian Prefecture became boiling, and people rushed towards the direction of Tiangong Academy, emitting bursts of surprises. !
…
…
As everyone exclaimed, the outline of the Heavenly Palace became clearer, and the powerful aura emitted around it made everyone present feel it. An unprecedented shock.
Just as the Heavenly Palace was about to be fully formed, the sky suddenly became dark clouds, and purple lightning bolts roamed in the clouds, and the power of the Heavenly Punishment became stronger and stronger.
Ji Changxi took the lead in attacking. With a swing of the long sword in her hand, a powerful sword energy soared into the sky, trying to disperse the dark clouds that were pressing down on her.
Fu Xuan was not willing to be outdone. He waved his spear with one arm, and the spear light flashed, echoing Ji Changxi's sword energy, forming a powerful barrier of the martial saint spirit energy wolf smoke.
Xiong Chan recites the Buddhist scriptures with his mouth, and the Buddha light blooms all over his body. The soft light appears particularly firm under the pressure of heavenly punishment.
Xu Qing stood among the crowd, his eyes very calm.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Qing quickly made seals with both hands.
Beiming!
After the power of heavenly punishment breaks through the blockade of the three major martial saints, Xu Qing's Beiming becomes the most solid barrier.
In addition, Master Tianling and Gu Laodao activated many powerful defensive magic weapons, as well as the Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain and Laoshan Mountain to provide powerful heavenly punishments, facing the top strong men of the Dayu Dynasty and many others The master was powerless and slowly dispersed.
Xu Qing also forced himself to swallow a small part of the power of heavenly punishment through Beiming, turning it into pure vitality and injecting it into the inner world. The sycamore tree seemed to have taken a big tonic, and it was faintly blooming. .
"The sacred tree of the sycamore tree, the spiritual root of the heaven and earth, the fruit is the life-extending fruit..." A piece of information flashed in the bronze mirror.
The old sycamore tree can actually produce longevity fruits.
Xu Qing couldn't help but be surprised.
It seems that the function of the old sycamore tree is somewhat similar to the peach trees and ginseng fruit trees in Journey to the West.
"If you open up an immortal dynasty and master the fruits that can prolong your life, it is obviously the top priority."
Xu Qing knew very well that the heaven in Journey to the West was through the peach fruit or fairy pill that prolonged your life. Come to control the immortals.
In any case, the fruits of life prolonging or other life prolonging elixirs are definitely the core competitiveness of the founding of the Immortal Dynasty.
The Heavenly Palace is a symbol of the strength of the Immortal Dynasty, and the fruit of prolonging life is the embodiment of cohesion.
If he mastered the immortal fruit of prolonging life, it would have a great impact on the Martial Saint.
Unfortunately, the old sycamore tree only has some signs of blooming, and is far from the point of fruiting.
Thunder is also the way of creation.
It seems that the vitality of the transformation of the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation is an important resource for ripening the blossoming and fruiting of the old sycamore tree.
Xu Qing now wants Master Tianling to try the second thunder tribulation.
Okay, the old guy probably won't be useful, and he doesn't dare to overcome the second ghost immortal thunder tribulation.
Xu Qing also felt aware of this kind of opportunity.
As a demon, he has instinctive fear of the heavenly thunder tribulation. This time he relies on the large number of people and power to avoid fear.
In fact, he can also use Taichu Demon Qi to simulate the Five Thunder Dharma in Longhu Mountain. The problem is that although he is not afraid of the simulated thunder method, the real thunder tribulation actually has great restraint on Taichu Demon Qi.
Of course, the Five Thunder Dharma he simulated is not bad either.
Similar to Putian goods.
Maybe the biggest difference between it and the real thunder is that it lacks the Tiandao certification?
After all, they are genuine.
…
…
At the birth of the Heavenly Palace, the Lord of Chaotian Temple celebrated the old emperor in Yannian Palace.
The old emperor also smiled and rewarded the master of Chaotian Temple with a pill.
After trying it, the Lord Chaotian Temple was extremely shocked. He obviously felt that his aging body was injected with a fresh vitality.
"This... is actually a elixir of longevity."
The Master Chaotian Temple found it incredible.
Is Your Majesty's alchemy so powerful? He can actually refine the immortal pill for longevity.
The old emperor: "I am very interested in the establishment of the Immortal Dynasty. The national teacher should understand how important it is to have such an immortal elixir to build the Immortal Dynasty."
The Lord of the Heavenly Temple bowed and said, "Your Majesty will definitely be able to follow the path of the ancient Holy Emperor."
The old emperor smiled slightly: "You humeral assistants need to be assisted. I am the only one of them. I really don't know what chaos in the world will be."
The Master Chaotian Temple then flattered him and slapped him.
He secretly felt a little worried about this, and he could undoubtedly successfully control the upcoming immortal dynasty.
What should Xu Qing do?
Your Majesty is really unfathomable.
In fact, when he read the storybook of Journey to the West that Xu Qing found, he realized that the real controllers of the Heavenly Court were the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother and Laojun.
Because the Queen Mother has a peach tree that can prolong her life, Laojun can refine the immortal pill of prolonging her life, and even help others to achieve enlightenment and become immortals.
In fact, in the Journey to the West, the gods in the Heavenly Court are divided into two categories. The highest achievement under the Sanqing Sect is Daluo, and the one outside the Sanqing is Taiyi.
Obviously, as the representative of the Three Pure Ones, Laojun actually controlled the extremely powerful voice of the Heavenly Court through the Immortal Pill.
If Xu Qing did not have something similar in his hands to compete with His Majesty, his voice in the Immortal Dynasty would be much lower.
It can be said that everything Xu Qing does now may be to make wedding dresses for His Majesty in the end.
Hey!
The Master Chaotian Temple is also powerless to do anything about this.
