Chapter 224 Leisurely and complacently oppressing the ancestors of the family
Chapter 224: Leisurely and contented, overpowering the ancestors of the family
"Cool~"
After a while, Jiang Xuan, who was covered in hair, exhaled a breath and shook hard twice.
It feels like taking a sip of ice-cold sour plum soup in the dog days of summer, or draining out the water after holding it in for a day.
Among them, it is sour and refreshing, which is not enough for outsiders to understand.
After feeling sour, Jiang Xuan frowned again.
"It feels great, but my understanding hasn't improved much?"
"Or is it that my understanding is too high now, and the lotus seeds of the Nine Color Lotus can no longer provide me with any effect?"
"According to the information we obtained before, lotus trees with three to nine colors should be able to produce 33 lotus seeds."
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan didn't hesitate and threw the golden lotus seeds in his hand into his mouth.
Unlike white lotus seeds, which need to be chewed by themselves, it feels like chewing ice.
The golden lotus seeds melted in the mouth, turning into dense air and integrating into Jiang Xuan's body.
And what about Jiang Xuan?
It was as if he had taken a bath in a hot spring in the middle of winter, and there were three soft-spoken girls beside him who were gently kneading him. An indescribable feeling of comfort suddenly arose in his whole body.
Confirming that this laziness could be shaken off at any time, Jiang Xuan relaxed his body and lay down on the recliner, staggering into a deep sleep.
"I haven't slept for a long time. I'm a little tired. Let's take a nap."
Nanke has to wake up from a dream, and all life is empty like a dream.
It is said that dreamers will not remember what they encountered in their dreams.
So Jiang Xuan, who woke up with the smell of chicken, didn't know if he was dreaming.
He only knew that the blanket covering his body was soothing, the lotus seeds were great as a snack, and the fragrance coming from not far away was alluring.
"Brother, are you awake?"
Jiang Yao, who was dressed like a little cook, saw Jiang Xuan open his eyes, and immediately ran to Jiang Xuan with a small spoon as if to offer a treasure:
"Brother, when I came here in the morning, I saw you were still asleep. Those roosters that crow before dawn every day want to crow again."
"I was afraid that they would disturb your sleep, so I had quick eyesight and quick hands and asked Xiaobai to eat them up and make you a pot of chicken soup to replenish your health."
Xiaobai is the mirage dragon in Yunmeng Ze. Because it looks like white jade, Jiang Yao named him Xiaobai.
Looking at Jiang Yao who was smiling sweetly in front of him, Jiang Xuan rolled his eyes helplessly:
"I thank you."
"No need to thank you, I'm your sister, so I should."
Reaching out and tugging at Jiang Yao's pink cheeks, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
This precious little sister of mine is really getting more and more naughty.
"How many chickens were killed?"
"Not many, only one hundred and thirty-seven."
"It's not enough for the little tiger to eat."
Hearing that he was mentioned, the little tiger squatted in front of the stove and gained more than three pounds and turned around:
"Xiao Yaoer is talking nonsense. I am losing weight recently and only eat 99 in one meal."
Seeing this, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
There is really nothing he can do with these two living treasures.
He opened the blanket, stood up and went to the stove to pick up the little tiger.
After tugging at the little tiger's plump cheek, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but say:
"Have you not practiced well recently? Why have you gained so much weight?"
The monks who enter the realm, whether they are monks, warriors, or mountain spirits and wild monsters.
Except for those with special talents, their bodies basically fit the world and look pleasing to the eye.
The reason why the little tiger is so fat is simply because there is too much spiritual energy accumulated in the body and there is no time to refine it.
The little tiger who was picked up by Jiang Xuan put his front paws on Jiang Xuan's shoulders and stretched, then found a comfortable position in his arms and curled up:
"During the day, Xiaoyao'er would either take me outside to buy ingredients, or take me to the mountains and forests to grab ingredients, and she has to sleep at night. How can I have time to practice?"
"Besides, the little fox is fatter than me, little master, why don't you talk about the little fox."
Hearing the confident words of the little tiger, not only Jiang Xuan was shocked, but also the little fox, which had been lying on his shoulder and had been silent for a long time, also straightened up, howled and began to scratch at the little tiger crazily.
After shaking his head and throwing a tiger and a fox aside for them to play by themselves, Jiang Xuan looked at Lian Shanxue who had just finished feeding the spirit beasts, picked them up, and led a large group of little ones up the mountain:
"Good morning Xue'er."
Under the early sun, Lian Shanxue showed a bright smile to Jiang Xuan:
"Good morning, Brother Jiang."
After saying that, she picked it up and put it on the ground, took out some ingredients, and added them to the chicken pot.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but cast his eyes on Jiang Yao:
"Didn't you say you made this chicken soup?"
Jiang Yao held a small spoon and put her hands behind her back confidently:
"I added the firewood."
After speaking arrogantly, Jiang Yao picked it up, rushed into a group of playful spirit beasts, and became the king of the mountain.
Looking at the scene in front of him of people making soup, children playing, and well-behaved spirit beasts, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
This feeling of being as leisurely and content as a wandering cloud and wild crane is really good.
However, my heart is in the fields, but I still care about the world.
The leisurely time only lasted for one morning, and the tail fire tiger guarding the mountain came to Jiang Xuan, who was watching the spirit beasts playing.
"Sir, the ancestor of the Xu family, Xu Luo, came to pay homage to the mountain. He said that all the members of the White Lotus Sect had gathered, and now he is waiting in the courtyard at the foot of the mountain."
Jiang Xuan frowned immediately after hearing the report from Tail Fire Tiger.
He remembered the old man Xu Luo clearly.
He had already ordered his heir to use a honey trap to seduce him.
He even once targeted his father as a beauty trap and wanted to have multiple wives for himself.
If he hadn't given up the idea in the end, he would have been beaten a few times.
However, thinking that he came here this time because of the members of the White Lotus Sect, Jiang Xuan thought about it and created a clone, and controlled the clone to walk towards the courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
After a while, they came to the courtyard. Xu Luo, who was sipping tea, stood up immediately after seeing Jiang Xuan:
"I've met Taoist Jiang."
Looking at Xu Luo who kept his attitude extremely low, Jiang Xuan nodded, and then without saying anything, he directly used the power of the formation to move Xu Luo to the place where the White Lotus Sect members gathered.
Feeling the panic emanating from Xu Luo, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but smile to himself.
The intimidation was okay, at least Xu Luo must have been frightened.
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Jiang Xuan then turned his attention to the members of the White Lotus Sect, and then couldn't help but frown.
Perhaps seeing Jiang Xuan's displeasure, Xu Luo, who was standing beside him, hurriedly said:
"There are many fanatical believers in the White Lotus Sect. After we brought the White Lotus followers here, they secretly connected with various forces in the White Lotus Sect and caused quite a stir."
"In addition, some members of the White Lotus Cult committed suicide one after another after learning that Mother Wusheng abandoned them and quit China, saying that they wanted to pursue Old Mother Wusheng."
"Out of desperation, we used secret techniques to put them all into a deep sleep."
"Taoist Master, please rest assured that our secret techniques are harmless and we guarantee that they will not cause any problems."
After learning the whole story, Jiang Xuan nodded, and then sent a message to Jiang Wen. Then with a light step, hundreds of figures appeared out of thin air in the air.
After dividing into hundreds of clones, Jiang Xuan did not hesitate and controlled the clones to reach the top of the people's heads.
After each clone chose its own target, he pressed down with one hand and used his magical power.
There are no dragons roaring and tigers roaring, and there are no golden lotuses descending from the sky.
After the pressure, nothing strange seemed to happen between heaven and earth.
But the lotus between the eyebrows of the millions of White Lotus sect members chosen by Jiang Xuan's clone shrank into a lotus seed, and disappeared after a moment as if melting, turning into the original essence and integrating into the people's bodies.
As the essence blends in, the aura on the body, which was originally a cultivator, becomes stronger.
Moreover, this increased aura is extremely stable, without any sense of emptiness.
If they had never practiced, the benefits the common people would receive were not as good as those of monks, but they would still be enough to keep them disease-free for more than ten or even decades.
About two-quarters of an hour later, all the white lotuses between the eyebrows of the millions of White Lotus sect members were completely dissolved.
Jiang Xuan put away his magical power and was about to untie the white lotus between his eyebrows for the second group of followers, but suddenly paused again.
There are good and bad members of the White Lotus Sect.
There are many people who have no choice but to remain ordinary people with conscience after joining the religion.
But apart from that, there are also many people who use the power of the White Lotus Sect to do evil.
Thinking of this, the eyes of Jiang Xuan's clones suddenly darkened, and then the endless demonic energy suddenly burst out from Jiang Xuan's body and fell on millions of people.
"Kill, kill, kill."
"Silent Mother, God loves the world."
"Little lady, you can shout, your husband is outside, but he can't come in."
"Mother, my child has avenged you."
After the demonic aura fell, the endless noise suddenly came from the mouths of the White Lotus cultists.
When Jiang Xuan saw this scene, he couldn't help but frown.
At least 65% of the millions of White Lotus followers have committed crimes.
Either steal, pickpocket, attack someone, take advantage of someone's situation, or enrich their own pockets.
All in all, it seems that all the evil in the world can be seen in these people.
As if aware of Jiang Xuan's hesitation, the head of the Wang family who just came over couldn't help but said:
"Taoist Priest, as the saying goes, you don't blame everyone. As long as the members of the White Lotus Sect can change their past mistakes, maybe there is no need to worry so much?"
Glancing at Wang Fei, a hint of darkness flashed across Jiang Xuan's eyes.
"According to what you say, is that any different from the Buddhist saying of putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately?"
Wang Fei choked, Jiang Xuan then looked at Jiang Wen who hurriedly hurriedly arrived at the scene:
"Send soldiers and officers to take away the White Lotus followers who are glowing red, regardless of whether they are men, women, old or young."
"Besides, the more evil you do, the more intense the red light will be on your body. If it turns red, turns black and turns purple, you can basically execute the Dharma on the spot."
"Also, petty thieves are sent to the mines for forced labor, and those who kill must pay with their lives."
"But if the reason for killing is to avenge parents, children, wives and children, and they have done no evil except revenge, then they will be forgiven."
When Jiang Wen heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement, and then said:
“What if you steal, rob, or even kill because you want to save your parents, wife, and children?
Jiang Xuan immediately replied:
"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you."
"A thief digs coal, and the same goes for someone who robs without hurting anyone. If someone kills someone, then one life will pay for another life."
"Of course, if they robbed and killed strong bandits or unscrupulous wealthy businessmen, then just pretend that your brother never said the above words."
Jiang Wen nodded again when he heard this, "I understand, brother."
"But I don't have enough manpower. Even if I borrow some classmates and teachers from the academy, it won't be enough."
As soon as Jiang Wen finished speaking, Wang Fei, who had flattered the horse's leg just now, immediately spoke:
"My royal family is willing to send 300 monks to enter the country, 700 to train in literature, 2,000 to train in martial arts, and 2,000 to train in military service, for Master's dispatch."
As soon as Wang Fei finished speaking, other families followed suit:
"We, the Xu family, would like to send one thousand and five thousand literary men and five thousand military men for Master's dispatch."
"My Bai family has 20,000 soldiers and cultivators who have entered the country. All of them are masters of the second level or above. They can be returned to the name of Tiandi Academy."
Glancing at the patriarch of the aristocratic family who was getting more and more confused as he talked, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but sigh secretly.
This means that the situation is not as good as human beings.
After sighing with emotion, Jiang Xuangang wanted to untie the white lotus between the eyebrows of the second batch of people, and suddenly heard someone say something again.
"In the Zhao Song Dynasty, there was one Taoist cultivator of the Six Realms, a thousand Dao cultivators, one Confucian cultivator of the Six Realms, four thousand Confucian scholars, one warrior cultivator of the Six Realms, five thousand warriors, one military cultivator of the Six Realms, and fifty thousand military cultivators, for the dispatch of Shenxiao.
.”
As Zhao Guangzeng finished speaking, the originally noisy air suddenly fell into silence.
Even the ancestors of other aristocratic families did not expect that the Zhao family would be willing to use such information to surrender.
But Jiang Xuan's attention was on the two words Zhao Guangzeng said at the beginning.
"Zhao Song, which Zhao Song?"
Upon hearing Jiang Xuan's inquiry, Zhao Guangzeng clasped his fists and bowed to Jiang Xuan:
"Zhao Guangzeng, the twenty-ninth grandson of Huizong, met Daoist Jiang of the Shenxiao Sect."
As soon as he heard the word Huizong, Jiang Xuan had already walked away from Zhao Guangzeng, stood aside and looked at him with a complicated expression.
The Shenxiao Sect and the Song Dynasty, or Song Huizong, can be said to be inescapable.
Two masters of the Shenxiao sect, Wang Wenqing, Chonghe's son, and Lin Lingsu, Mr. Yuanmiao, both served as officials under Huizong of the Song Dynasty.
In addition, Huizong also proclaimed himself the "Emperor of the Taoist Master" and even followed Lin Lingsu's advice and issued an edict to make monks beard and wear Taoist robes, calling themselves Pindao.
All in all, the Shenxiao sect has a close relationship with the Zhao and Song Dynasties, especially the Song Huizong Zhao Ji branch.
However, others may decide, but whether it is true or not remains to be seen.
After a while, Jiang Xuan stopped the gesture, and the complex look on his face became even more complicated.
Zhao Guangzeng really didn’t tell lies.
He is indeed the 29th grandson of Huizong. Although he is only a collateral descendant, he does not lie.
After thinking about it, Jiang Xuan let out a breath, then waved his fly whisk and said something to Zhao Guangzeng:
"Jiang Daoxuan, the fifty-second generation disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, has met Mr. Zhao."
Seeing Jiang Xuan return the gift, Zhao Guangzeng breathed a sigh of relief.
He guessed right.
The Shenxiao sect is nostalgic enough.
As Zhao Guangzeng breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Luo, Wang Fei and others looked at each other in confusion.
The meaning in their eyes is obvious, that is, 'Be humble, work hard, and live a life as good as others'.
Zhao Guangzeng ignored Xu Luo and the others.
After seeing Jiang Xuan recognize his identity, he saluted Jiang Xuan again:
"This time we are sending four Sixth Realm and sixty thousand disciples for your sect to dispatch. In fact, Zhao has something else he wants to ask your sect for."
Jiang Xuan nodded after hearing this.
He had already guessed that these aristocratic families wanted something from him.
Even if he wants something from himself, he probably knows it well.
So he directly signaled Zhao Guangzeng to speak.
Seeing Jiang Xuan's appearance, Zhao Guangzeng also had some thoughts in his heart:
"I would also like to ask Taoist Master to know that in the past, the Celestial Master Tao brought disaster to China, and countless cities and lands were controlled by the Celestial Master Tao using the technique of restraining gods and sending generals, and eventually fell into the netherworld."
"Many of these city gods are my brothers and sisters."
"So I would like to ask your sect if you can release my family members and me back to the Yang world."
After listening to what Zhao Guangzeng said, Jiang Xuan nodded slightly.
What Zhao Guangzeng said was not what he expected.
Moreover, he knew even more that after returning those lands of the City God, the next step would be to talk about whether to retain or retain the lands of the City God.
This is a division of interests.
For Jiang Xuan, the love of ancestors must be recognized.
But we must also fight for current benefits.
So he agreed simply:
"The Zhao family has an old relationship with our Shenxiao sect. If I ask Pindao for the land now, I will naturally ask the ghosts and gods of Fengdu to release the Zhao family's land back to the Yang world."
Having said this, Jiang Xuan saw that all the ancestors of other aristocratic families were excited, and Jiang Xuan continued:
"However, the position of land has limited weight and should be occupied by virtuous people."
"In the past, Tianshi Tao had a lot of efforts to consecrate gods, and even made some disciples who caused harm to the village into righteous gods."
"This is a big mistake."
As he spoke, he saw that the faces of these family ancestors became serious, and he changed his voice again:
"So, Pindao feels that all the Zhao family's former possessions need to be cut off by one level."
“After returning to the Yangshi, the county god becomes the county god, the county god becomes the town land, and the town land becomes the village land.”
"As for the village land, it will be transferred to other villages equally."
"Afterwards, the function of the land was examined, and the capable ones were promoted and the mediocre ones were demoted. If even a village could not be protected, the land's position was removed."
Seeing Jiang Xuan say these words expressionlessly, especially after accentuating the accent on the word "Zhao family", Zhao Guangzeng immediately agreed.
"The capable are at the top and the mediocre are at the bottom. This is how it should be."
"My Zhao family is willing to obey the decree of Shenxiao."
As soon as Zhao Guangzeng finished speaking, most of the heads of the aristocratic families looked at each other, as if they had thought of something, and they all showed helpless expressions.
However, they were helpless, but they still spoke with a hint of luck:
"We are also willing to obey Shenxiao's decree."
Seeing that the ancestors of these aristocratic families were willing to obey orders, Jiang Xuan was not happy.
This was different from what he had discussed with his masters before.
So he lowered his eyebrows and said in a cold voice:
"You are overthinking."
"What Pindao just said was just to say too much about the Zhao family."
"If you want your family to become a god, your relatives and friends to return to Yang, of course you can."
"But all the positions in the land were cut off by two levels. The land of the prefecture and the city became the town land, and the rest were all village land."
As soon as Jiang Xuan finished speaking, Xu Luo and Wang Fei looked at each other and then gave a bitter smile.
They knew something was wrong just now after hearing what Jiang Xuan said, but they didn't expect that they would guess it.
However, the situation is stronger than the people. Now that the Shenxiao Sect has become the dominant force, what other choice do they have besides accepting their fate?
But before they could agree, someone said:
"Isn't it said that among the land, the capable are at the top, the mediocre are at the bottom, and the virtuous live in them?"
"Why is it that the Zhao family's land is only reduced to one level?"
Looking up at the person who made the noise, Jiang Xuan suddenly sneered:
"My Shenxiao sect says the Zhao family is virtuous, and the Zhao family is virtuous."
"Why, our Shenxiao sect has not taken action against small forces in recent years, so we have forgotten our methods?"
"Pindao said that the Zhao family is virtuous and can hold a high position. Do you think this is true?"
After the words fell, four images and five rays appeared behind Jiang Xuan, and the arrogant energy suppressed the world into silence.
