Chapter 262: Serving the World and the People
What does it take to be a capital official?
The newly appointed Capital Master actually doesn’t know this either. He just feels that this name is strong and bright enough, and he will definitely be able to do great things in the Capital, build up the people, retreat from the sea of suffering, and protect the world.
As a result, at first, the old emperor just asked him to educate his sons, hoping that his children would learn the best skills from the capital and continue his dynasty.
Although the capital felt that this might not be in line with his expectations, he still agreed.
The capital told the old emperor that his methods needed to be studied at least with concentration. Sixty years later, the old emperor was also a little confused.
There is no way for your children to learn this.
The child who goes to learn must not touch the world. After a long time of learning, even if he can live longer, he will not be able to inherit the throne when he comes back.
How can a person who has no connection with the world manage a dynasty?
The old emperor himself is not good either. He is too old. Even if he starts studying desperately from now on, he may only be able to strengthen his body. It is somewhat difficult to extend his life for a while.
I have no choice but to lower my requirements and just do some simple exercises.
The imperial palace has its own Taoist inheritance, and it is impossible to cut it off just to imitate the methods of the capital master.
In this way, he started to become a master of several little devils.
He gave lectures to these brats every morning, and in the afternoon he was dragged to various banquets by the nobles.
Either drinking and having fun, or writing poems and singing songs.
The capital thought this was some necessary action and followed it every day.
But after only two or three months, he felt that this kind of life was not quite right.
What he needs is to make the whole beam better.
What he needs is the means to suppress the sea of suffering.
What he wanted to do was not to stare at a few children to see if there were any typos in their homework today.
Nor is it discussing with those high-ranking "literati" who can't even distinguish between wheat and rice, how to write the word "Valley" more beautifully.
So he thought hard and simply found the emperor and asked him to give him a year to travel around and take a good look at the various situations in Daliang.
Although the emperor was reluctant to give up, he finally agreed.
So the capital left Kyoto.
Starting from Kyoto, he went to Jingzhou, to Youzhou, to Jingzhou, and then started walking south, gathering in the whole beam.
He met a lot of people,
and met people who wanted to kill his closest relatives and friends for their own selfish purposes.
I met someone who would sacrifice his life for a righteous man even if it was the first time he met.
I saw a man who was bent on burning, killing, and looting, and all his thoughts were for the purpose of killing.
I met a man who would not harm his soul even if he cut his flesh to feed the hawks.
The people he saw most were those working in the fields, hunting in the woods, cutting firewood in the mountains, and fishing in the water.
After staying for a year, the dusty capital returned to Kyoto, and he finally knew what he should do.
He opened a library.
He recruited talents widely.
He founded Homecoming.
He collects treasures left behind by ancient monks.
He stayed up late at night and compiled the various folk magic techniques he had collected into a booklet. Together with his understanding of the Taoist scriptures, he added a lot of convenient tips.
The capital began its own plan.
At this moment, the old emperor passed away and the new emperor took office.
The nobles who were originally smiling and fawning over the capital now completely changed their faces.
They began to target the capital everywhere, and began to find ways to slander the library. They began to put pressure on the capital when they went to court, and even collectively wrote to the new emperor, hoping to remove him from the capital's status.
The capital master, who has been in the mountains all his life, simply does not understand why the group of people who greeted him with smiles before turned out to be like this.
In his opinion, he was clearly doing good things for the country and the people, but this group of people started to make trouble.
The capital just felt full of doubts and couldn't figure it out at all.
He originally wanted to ask his "old friends", but these "old friends" ignored him and said things that the capital could not understand at all.
The capital went to ask the emperor again, but the newly appointed emperor also hesitated and couldn't understand half of the sentence.
He was at a loss. He felt like he had hit a piece of cotton with all his strength.
In the end,
the old beggar he met first, who was also an old friend he often looked for for drinking in Kyoto, came to visit with a pot of bad wine.
"You old fool, you have really never been exposed to these sects before. Do you really think that those nobles have any feelings for you? You are doing great things in the world and benefiting the people. Kill the nobles! These techniques are only used by the nobles, so they are naturally not happy!
"This group of people won't talk to you about these things. They all think behind your back that you are stupid and that you are easy to manipulate and control. They hope that the emperor will pull you down, or preferably kill you.
"Old man, please listen to my advice and don't continue to do this, otherwise you will eventually lose your life.
"Either drink with them every day, or you simply go back to the mountains."
After listening to the old beggar's speech, the capital realized why his plans were blocked at every turn. .
After listening to the old beggar’s words, the capital thought for a long time.
In the end, he chose to stay in Kyoto.
However, he did not intend to back down.
The beggar he found specially raised his hands and saluted:
"Thank you for reminding me, but I think it is not feasible if the people are not enlightened, so I have to continue to stay here and put this matter aside. Only when the great work is done.”
“Really don’t want to leave?”
"My master once told me that you can't do things halfway."
"The water in Kyoto is very deep. If your master can go down the mountain, he can touch it through, but you may not be able to touch it through."< br>
"Then I have to stay here."
"...Even if you fight me later?"
"Even so."
The old beggar left.
After learning what was going on in Kyoto, the capital finally began to take the initiative. He took the initiative to gather those people with lofty ideals, he took the initiative to taunt the nobles in the court, he took the initiative to hold a fighting meeting, and he knocked down all the powerful disciples of the nobles with just one hand.
Even the emperor's entire imperial army and the capital even drank with one hand and beat them all away with the other.
At this moment, everyone in Kyoto suddenly realized that they seemed to have no way to deal with the capital!
In this way, the capital's plan was vigorously implemented in Kyoto.
All kinds of magic techniques have been researched and developed, and the plan to break the sea of suffering is in full swing.
The nobles seemed to have lost their temper and no longer resisted the capital.
Everything went smoothly.
One day.
A proud disciple of the capital died.
He died miserably.
The head was beheaded, the skin was peeled off, sealed in a wax coffin, and sent to the capital.
After the capital opened the coffin.
There is a sentence engraved on the top of the coffin:
"The future is determined and cannot be changed."
......
Zuo Chen's thunderbolt, which had reached the size of a man, suddenly exploded, and a pure black breath emerged from it.
He waved his hand, and a large pure white seal floated on the palm of Zuo Chen's hand.
In the thunder, the figure of the boss had disappeared, replaced by a pure black figure.
The body of this pure black figure was already filled with the frantic aura of the sea of suffering, and the original consciousness and sanity had completely disappeared, leaving only complete madness.
And boundless joy.
The sea of bitterness magnified the boss's emotions, allowing this strong joy to completely wash away his soul.
He only has this obsession left, and still allows the boss to remain in the world.
“The outcome is decided.”
Zuo Chen looked at the boss and shook his head slightly.
After turning into a sea monster, the boss's moral character has indeed improved a lot, but his body is also dissipating rapidly.
And for Zuo Chen, without his brain, he loses the ability to fight head-on.
With just one final blow,
this boss can be finished.
Turning his hand to put away the Heaven-shaking Great Seal, a bright and pure lightning appeared in Zuo Chen's palm.
It's not a brilliant thunder technique, it's just a accumulation of energy.
Zuo Chen even poured a little bit of the Hunyuan Qi into it, and pointed at the thunder, which was even more wild and domineering.
At this moment, Zuo Chen's left eye looked far away and finally saw the great formation that surrounded the capital that day.
It rained heavily that day in Kyoto. The sky was gloomy and it was windy and rainy.
The capital has sent away his disciples, and now he is the only one left.
But he was by no means unprepared.
With the library as the starting point, formation descriptions are arranged in the surrounding streets and alleys, which are small altars.
These small altars are connected together in the form of the Big Dipper to form a large altar.
When he pinched the Taoist secrets with his hands, blossoming flowers grew around the capital. It was the ancient and wonderful method he learned from his master.
Flowers bloom instantly.
In the rainy night, countless gentry disciples and Kyoto imperial guards were hiding in the eaves and alleys, holding weapons and waiting in full formation.
Only a group of black-armored soldiers dared to stand in front of the long street directly opposite the capital.
There are two people leading these black armors.
The first person was sitting on a sedan chair, which was carried by four maids with dull eyes. It was so dark inside the sedan chair that it was difficult to see clearly.
The second one was wearing tattered clothes.
He is an old beggar in tattered clothes.
Roseaceous nose.
At this moment, I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the figure of the old beggar fit perfectly with the pure black shadow. The two stood together, making the past and the present overlap.
What a pity,
Even if you kill the thief back then, you can't save those who have left.
Zuo Chen raised the Wild Thunder in his hand high.
Throw it outward with force.
Colliding with the old beggar who rushed towards him.
And the bits and pieces of the future that I once saw,
Totally consistent.
......
It was raining continuously above the Gray Mountain, and the people around were still talking carefully, thinking about how to enter it to search for the missing people.
Suddenly I felt a strong wind coming, and the sound of thunder echoed between the sky and the earth.
They all raised their heads in astonishment and looked at the gray mountain in the distance.
I saw a dazzling white light suddenly exploding from the place where dark clouds originally covered the sky.
The dark clouds were swept away,
The bright sunshine scattered from the sky and sprinkled on the gray hillside.
