Li Nuo's guess was not wrong.

Lingnan.

Guangling County.

Cao Mansion.

At a private banquet.

After three rounds of drinking, the singer and dancer consciously left the private room.

Cao Xiong, the governor of Lingnan Province, put down the wine glass in his hand. He was still uneasy. He used the Confucianism magical power of "No Ears on the Wall" and asked in confusion: "Brother Jiang, the Jade Unicorn has entered Luoyang. Can he really bring Confucianism to the throne?"

Dao Zhengtong moved to your Dachu?"

Ren Tianxing saw all Cao Xiong's movements and nodded secretly. There is nothing wrong with being cautious.

He said with a calm expression: "The achievements that Yu Qilin has achieved today are all due to the honor of my grandfather. If he does not repay this kindness and resolve this cause and effect, he will not be able to eliminate the evil obstacles in his heart and step into the second level of Confucianism and Taoism. Therefore, he must

We will do our best to do so.”

"The second level of Confucianism and Taoism is inviolable by all laws..."

Cao Xiong said, "Smash it, smash it." He is a Confucian and Taoist [fourth level of true artistic conception], and this is what he will do in this life.

And there will soon be a second-grade Confucian in this world.

This was indeed a great blessing for the human race, but he was not happy at all.

Although he and this neighbor have an alliance agreement to advance and retreat together, he still feels a little on pins and needles when his neighbor's strength suddenly increases.

But now that we have boarded this ship, we will drown if we get off. We can only go to the dark side and there is no way back.

Cao Xiong didn't show any displeasure on his face. He laughed and said, "As expected of Brother Jiang, this is a great time."

Ren Tianxing smiled and said: "Whether it will succeed or not is still unknown. After all, accidents are everywhere. Brother Cao, I will leave Lingnan to you. I have to go back to Western Chu. In recent days, there has been something amiss in the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions.

To be safe, you have to hammer and hammer."

Cao Xiong frowned: "Is it because of those caravans?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Ren Tianxing's eyes: "The movement of caravans can promote the circulation of goods and property and promote prosperity. This cannot be stopped. But if anyone dares to take the opportunity to cause trouble, then this minion must be chopped off.

Come down and serve as a warning to others!"

Cao Xiong reminded: "There are shadows of the shaman clan and the Buddhist sect behind the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions. Brother Jiang must be careful when he goes."

Ren Tianxing smiled confidently: "Haha, please remind me, Brother Cao, I will be more careful. On your side, you should also be careful. I heard that several of your subordinates are planning a caravan. He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, so

We managed to win back the situation, but we must not lose the support of the people."

Ren Tian's actions have his own intentions.

Cao Xiong's expression changed slightly.

He naturally knows this.

But those few were his confidants who had been with him for decades, so he turned a blind eye. Unexpectedly, Jiang Jingcan discovered them.

For the sake of the overall situation, he had no choice but to kill his relatives.

After all, the world has not yet been settled, so it is indeed too much to start enjoying happiness now.

He is still ambitious!

He is the King of Zhennan, and the Cao family has controlled Lingnan for generations! This is his lifelong ambition!

"Brother Jiang, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation on this matter."

As a hero, Cao Xiong's heart can be ruthless to the end.

"It's not for me, but for us Lingnan people to give an explanation and let them know that we love our people as our own children."

Ren Tianxing has a profound meaning.

As an ally, it is enough to just beat them up, there is no need to fight to the death and destroy the harmony. He believes that Cao Xiong will make the right choice.

…

Ximen of Chang'an.

A green-robed monk walked slowly with bare feet, holding a pole in one hand and a bowl in the other.

When pedestrians on the road saw this, they just glanced at it and hurriedly hurried on their way.

The monk's face was neither happy nor sad, and his steps were neither hasty nor slow. When he reached a certain place, he suddenly paused.

There was a glimmer of light in his eyes...

A trace of power welled up in his eyes.

"Amitabha, lonely souls and wild ghosts cannot reincarnate. The soul must return to its homeland. Our Buddha is merciful..."

The Buddha's words are like pearls, and they are constantly spit out from the monk's mouth.

A scene from the past appeared on this land, like a movie clip, played back quickly.

Of course, this strange scene cannot be seen by pedestrians on the road.

But if someone is more careful and pays attention, they will find that the monk's eyes are very strange, and the scenes seem to be imprinted in his eyes.

A few moments.

The monk's childlike eyes widened rapidly, and the scene in his eyes was instantly frozen.

found it!

Although the images of Zhiqing and his party were in a blur, they were still captured by him.

He utters Buddhist maxims.

But the secret seemed to be blocked, and the murderer's face was unclear.

But it's not without gain.

At least we know that Zhiqing and his party were killed not long after they left the west gate of Chang'an.

The method of killing was extremely clever, almost killing Zhiqing with one strike without even realizing it.

It was precisely because of this that Zhiqing failed to use the "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm" to protect himself.

Wine Sword Fairy?

Ji Xiyao?

They definitely won't do that.

The leader of the second-level Taoist sect has his own arrogance and will never attack the juniors.

Who could have done it?

The monk's eyes slowly became clearer.

He recited a magic formula...

Although he failed to get in touch with the [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm], he had a vague feeling that he was getting closer to the [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm].

Having stolen [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm] and shielded it, this person must be the murderer of Zhiqing!

The kind-hearted old monk put away his Buddhist and Taoist powers, and then walked towards Chang'an City.

The steps were neither hasty nor slow, each step seemed to be measured and not missing a beat.

This old monk is none other than the second-grade Manjushri Bodhisattva of Tantric Buddhism!

The Buddha's palm pressed down on the city before, but it was chopped off by Ji Xiyao's sword.

But this does not mean that his strength is worse than Ji Xiyao.

He issued the Buddha's Palm in the Tantric Sect of the Western Regions, but Ji Xiyao soared into the sky with a sword in Chang'an City, occupying a geographical advantage.

After several months of silence, he finally set foot in the Central Plains after learning that Jiujianxian and his party had gone to the ancient ruins.

In fact, the death of Zhiqing and his group didn't matter to him.

But the "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm" is the most precious treasure of Tantric Buddhism and cannot be taken away by anyone.

Little did Li Nuo know that Manjushri Bodhisattva himself had died.

…

These days, everything is calm.

Scholars from Western Chu and Dayin competed in poems today and essays tomorrow, which was very lively.

The literary atmosphere in Luoyang City is getting stronger and stronger.

At court today.

Some ministers took this opportunity to raise the issue of Qiu Wei.

After all, it was originally supposed to be held in September, but because the barbarian cavalry moved south and the imperial court moved its capital to Luoyang, the autumn ceremony was delayed.

But now everything has been restored in an orderly manner, and many northern students are also crowded in Luoyang. If the scientific examination is no longer held, they will all complain.

Of course Emperor Jingtai agreed.

As a result, the time for Qiuwei has also settled, just three days later.

Many northern students immediately cheered for joy.

Emperor Jingtai ascends the throne this year, so there will definitely be an encore in the spring next year. This is the court's practice.

In this way, as long as you pass the examination in autumn this year, you can directly take the Jinshi examination in the next spring, and then the palace examination... perhaps, the Sanyuan examination, which will definitely bring glory to the ancestors, is also possible!

It can be said that Emperor Jingtai's move also won the hearts of many scholars.

However, who served as the examiner for this Qiu Wei session triggered a war of words in the court.

The position of examiner is not a lucrative position, but once you get it, it will be a big deal.

Anyone who participates in the imperial examination this year must be called "mentor"!

This is fame!

It is also the face that scholars care about most!

Du Yan was already an official of the first rank, so he naturally did not want to get involved in these matters anymore.

In the end, after a quarrel, Di Zhengming, the Minister of Household Affairs, snatched it away.

Yes, that old immortal who didn't retire and returned to his hometown even at the age of eighty-three, and instead forcibly occupied the old position in the cabinet.

In the current cabinet, after Dou Zheng retired and returned to his hometown, Di Zhengming is full of high spirits, rosy-faced, and seems to have rejuvenated his youth, which is so exciting!

After all, Du Yan didn't care about anything and only studied his Confucian and Taoist classics. Therefore, Di Zhengming seemed to be the first person in the cabinet.

This feeling is great!

It almost blew him up to the top of the clouds.

But it's not easy. He entered officialdom at the age of twenty, and it took him sixty-three years to reach this position.

The old man is fufu.

Time cannot dull his ambition.

He has to work harder, and when he truly becomes the head of a hundred officials, the chief minister of the cabinet... it's not enough! He also has to be a first-level crown prince and eunuch, and even... a first-level imperial master!

Only after you retire and return to your hometown can you pay homage to the spirits of your ancestors.

…

Autumn is coming soon.

Before dawn, students from all walks of life were waiting outside the Gongyuan.

Their identities were checked one by one, and they entered the hall in an orderly manner, starting a big test that would change their life and destiny.

As someone who had been there, Li Nuo cheered for Cui Liyan, then turned around and flew to Lushan.

He had a vague premonition that his disaster would soon come.

In the Confucian Temple, Li Nuo meditated for a whole day, going through everything that had happened in recent days.

After he came out, Wang Yangming told him with a heavy face that Jian Yuyan had sent news that there was something strange happening in the demon clan.

"Is the demon clan going to attack with a large army?"

Li Nuo frowned.

Wang Yangming: "That's not true. But I heard that a new generation of saints from the demon clan has appeared."

"Monster Saint?"

Li Nuo was a little confused.

The status of the demon saint is actually somewhat similar to that of the great shaman of the barbarians. She is a messenger sent by God to the mortal world and a symbol of divine power!

Wang Yangming said: "Well, and you will never guess which branch of demon this saint is..."

Li Nuo: "Anyone who can be a saint must have an extremely noble bloodline. Besides the Fox Clan and Peng Clan, who else can be there?"

Wang Yangming shook his head: "Wrong. That's why I said you couldn't guess, it's the Yu Clan!"

"Feather Clan? How is this possible!"

Li Nuo couldn't believe it.

Wang Yangming: "The facts are in front of us, and there is no room for disbelief. Although the Yu Clan also belongs to the Monster Clan, their status is extremely special. They live in the paradise of the Great Rift Valley and have never descended from the mortal world. But for some reason, they actually participated this time

He came into the secular world. And his coming out of the mountain caused such a stir."

The Yu Clan should not actually belong to the Demon Clan.

Their bloodline is actually closer to the human race.

Because they were born with human faces, but when they reached the day of transformation, they only grew a pair of wings that could take them soaring to the sky.

Wang Yangming lamented: "I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us in the Central Plains."

Li Nuo asked curiously: "The Yu Clan has a small number of people. Even if they all participate in the war, it won't be able to play a decisive role, right? And can other big clans of the Monster Clan agree to allow a Yu Clan woman to become this Monster Clan Saint?"

Are the demon clan really so united?

Lao Ma wore the [Mask of All Living Beings] and infiltrated into the Peng clan, and he didn’t know what the specific situation was.

Before Lao Ma left, he had specifically warned him not to contact him unless absolutely necessary.

This is also to directly eliminate the signs of identity exposure.

Therefore, for such a big thing as the demon clan's birth of a saint, Lao Ma did not ask for oral information.

Wang Yangming replied: "Hey, the holy girl of the Yu tribe, watching the moon in the cave and enlightening the Tao, actually stepped into the first-level realm in one fell swoop!"

First grade!

That is really...a catastrophe for the human race!

If the balance of top combat power is broken, all life will really be ruined.

Because in this way, the side with the advantage in combat power will definitely break the unspoken rules directly.

"How many first-level monsters are there?"

Li Nuo asked.

"Apart from this newly advanced Feather Clan Saint, there is only the ancient demon emperor who set foot in the ancient ruins to seek a breakthrough. And on our human side, there is only one land god."

Wang Yangming was also worried.

If the monster clan fights as a whole, one more first-level realm will be enough to change the situation.

Li Nuo set his mind to the west: "Is there a first-grade Buddha in Lingshan?"

"Although our Central Plains is open to the Buddhist sect, allowing them to come in to spread Buddhism and attract believers. However, the Buddhist sect does not like killing, and I am afraid that it will not be willing to stand on the same side as our human race."

Wang Yangming understood what Li Nuo meant and looked for allies to join forces.

Li Nuo: "The Buddha Sect and the Monster Clan are naturally opposed to each other. If the human race is destroyed, where will it go to recruit followers? The imperial court should immediately send envoys to Lingshan to impress them with emotion and reason."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Yangming: "If you are not in your position, you will not seek political advice. You can talk to Lao Du when you go back later. He is a cabinet minister after all."

"

Li Nuo curled his lips and said: "Master Du is more concerned with protecting his own safety. Originally it would have been best for him to be the first assistant, but unfortunately he didn't want to. Now that the position of first assistant is vacant, the cabinet has been wrangling."

"We can't rush this matter. What we have to do now is to develop Chang'an well. If the world really changes, it will also be an opportunity for Qingyang. Anyway, I don't care, you have to take care of Qingyang! It's best to let Qingyang live.

A big fat baby to comfort people’s hearts.”

Wang Yangming said with a smile.

Li Nuo said speechlessly: "Master Wang... I haven't come here yet."

"So what? Anyway, I don't disdain this kind of thing..."

Wang Yangming said disdainfully.

Worldly etiquette cannot restrain them, great scholars of the fourth level of true artistic conception.

Li Nuo gritted his teeth and said, "I'll try my best to get things settled in the spring of next year. Hey, it's been such a troubled time. By the way, what's the name of the saint?"

Wang Yangming: "Asuna*Yan."

"You can realize enlightenment by looking at the moon in this cave, and you can also step into the first level. Isn't this holy girl an old monster who has lived for many years? I don't know if Yuan Shenxian can deal with it."

Li Nuo said dumbly.

Wang Yangming shook his head and said: "If you knew the age of this saint, you would definitely be surprised."

Li Nuo raised his eyebrows: "How do you say that?"

"She began observing the moon in a cave at the age of fourteen for seven years, successfully attained enlightenment and entered the first level!"

Wang Yangming said with emotion.

"Twenty-one-year-old Yipin? How is this possible!"

Li Nuo was stunned.

Is this world still the world he knows?

To be able to reach the first-level realm at the age of a hundred years is a must. It is rare for a person to achieve this achievement at the age of seventy or eighty in thousands of years.

And this person, at the age of twenty-one...

Could it be that Yuren was also cheating?

And it's still a super killer even more ferocious than his "Ancient Compilation of the Golden Book"?

[I have watched the moon in a cave for seven years, and I am invincible!]

"How did she do it?"

I'm not ashamed to ask, Li Nuo also wants to learn from it.

Wang Yangming: "Inheritance."

inherited?

I see.

Li Nuo felt a little better.

Wait a minute, he watched the moon in the cave and realized the Tao? His name is Azuna? Yu Clan?

It can't be her, right?

The Yu Clan girl he met when he was trapped in "Kyushu Map"?

The ages are pretty good.

He still remembered that she said her name was Asu...

Li Nuo didn't know that this Asu girl from the Yu tribe had sucked out the parasitic dream butterfly insect in his body with a kiss. And it didn't take long for her to successfully achieve enlightenment...

Strictly speaking, he and Azuna already had a physical relationship.

As for Azuna's success in enlightenment, he has done his best...

Of course, for Li Nuo, it remains to be confirmed whether this Asu is the same as Asuna.

And this matter cannot be rushed.

What's more, this is a battle between two clans. Even if it's the same person, Li Nuo doesn't think that the other party will be lenient because of this.
