176: Seventeen forbidden places, disasters in the world
This is a carriage with a bit of a Western fantasy style. The carriage is pulled by a winged Pegasus that often appears in various film and television works.
Although the carriage was a carriage, it had no wheels. It was covered with densely packed obscure runes and shone with a gilded light that varied in brightness and darkness.
All right.
After coming to this world for several years, Tang Yun has long been stimulated and numbed by all kinds of strange things, whether it is a shadow stone or a magical rune secret technique, in some aspects it is more interesting than the machines created by technological civilization.
.
how to say.
There should be pros and cons to each.
This kind of weird thing is much more convenient than cars and airplanes in many places, but the cost is also extremely high and it is not suitable for assembly line production at all. Not to mention ordinary people, even those aristocratic families and sects cannot afford it.
It can be said that things like the Pegasus in front of us are specially made for the existence of warriors. Their target group is not related to the common people from the beginning.
Tang Yun blinked, dismissed some thoughts, and got on the carriage. This thing was destined not to be popular...
When the others boarded the carriage, the maid gave a soft drink, and the Pegasus neighed, spread its wings, and flew high, dragging a long afterimage straight into the sky.
That's right.
The banquet was not in the palace at all, but above the palace...in the sky.
Facts have proved that in this world, Uncle Newton has no control over these anti-human beings, and the law of universal gravitation has been ruined by these warriors countless times.
In fact, it was not too high. Tang Yun glanced down and estimated that it was only about one or two hundred meters. He felt that he had broken through an invisible barrier, and what he saw was no longer the endless starry sky, but a majestic palace.
Immortal family weather...
In fact, it just looks like that. In fact, it has nothing to do with the word fairy. All the immortals in other people's novels are full of aura and speak seriously.
This place is really good, there are stunning dancers, singers playing and singing, and there are wine pools and meat forests. It can be said to be the ultimate luxury... Even the floor tiles are paved with warm jade, and a piece of it can be sold for thousands of taels of silver.
At Tang Yun's level, he is only at the bottom of this group of people, but even so, there are seven maids waiting beside him, so I am afraid that there is something inconsiderate.
In fact, this banquet is not just about eating and drinking, but also about discussing important matters of the court, such as plans for the coming year, plans, etc.
But these have nothing to do with him. At Tang Yun's current level, he can just sit in the farthest place, eat meat and drink wine, never mind so much.
While eating, his eyes scanned the surroundings vaguely. From the identities of the people present and their seating positions, Tang Yun could vaguely see some clues.
In the eyes of the emperor, the hundred officials come first, the Zhenwu Pavilion comes second, and the royal family and nobles come third.
This is indeed quite reasonable. After all, the existence of warriors mainly targets demons and evil spirits, but the operation of the imperial court cannot be separated from the civil and military officials. As for the last ones... they are nothing more than a bunch of rice bugs.
Although saying this is a bit contemptuous of them, this is the fact. Being born into the royal family seems to be a good life, but in fact, while you enjoy the blessings, you cannot avoid the disadvantages you should suffer.
The atmosphere gradually became heated, and Tang Yun was keenly aware that the dancers and other beauties in the field had gradually retreated, and then several guards came up carrying huge, ball-like objects, which they didn't know how to tinker with, and then he saw...
…Holographic projection???
Damn it!!!
Is there such an operation?
Tang Yun stared blankly at the lifelike map of the Baizhang Mountains and Rivers that appeared in the air, and his heart was racing with thousands of thoughts.
what is this?
What are these?
Before he could recover from the shock, he saw the big ball suddenly move.
After a moment, the appearance changed drastically, like a Transformer, revealing countless holes, and then the phantoms of hundreds of feet of mountains and rivers collapsed. Following the beam of light emitted from the hole, a map suddenly appeared in front of the civil and military personnel present.
Compared with the huge shadow just now, the one in front of you is a miniature version, with mountains, rivers, counties, cities and places all lifelike in it.
As those people fiddled with it, the colors of the areas marked out on the map gradually changed, becoming darker or lighter, some even seemed to be covered by sky fire, and some were frozen for thousands of miles...
Tang Yun's expression gradually became serious, because he now gradually understood that these changes represented what disasters had occurred in the entire world in the past year.
An evil spirit is born, causing harm to the common people.
There are ice phoenixes spreading their wings, and the blizzard is like a knife covering thousands of miles of ice.
There was a riot by monsters and beasts, slaughtering the city and causing bloodshed.
There is a rift in the void that stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles, splitting the sky and splitting the earth.
The world is really not peaceful. It's not just Tianhai County. Disasters are happening all over the country, prefectures, prefectures and counties...every moment.
Before, Tang Yun thought that the capital was peaceful, but after the map changed, this idea disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
There are seventeen forbidden places in the world. These places are not something inherited from ancient times, but have appeared one after another since the establishment of the imperial court until now.
Zhongzhou, where the capital is located, suppresses four forbidden areas in total. The rest of the areas are scattered everywhere, but they have never been so densely packed. At most, there are only one or two close to each other.
For example, in Longyang County, there is only one forbidden area in Tianhai County. The place where the blood demon was raging and then suppressed and sealed by the boss is called the Blood Sea Demon Abyss.
Chen Xuanye, the emperor's confidant and the top governor of the Zhenwu Pavilion, was silent for a moment and suddenly said loudly: "During this period, there are strange movements in the Blood Sea Demonic Abyss, there are strange movements in the Tianxiao Fissure, and there are strange movements in the Death Realm of the Underworld..."
The atmosphere was no longer as hot and noisy as before. Everyone looked solemn and listened carefully to the content. Even hundreds of officials frequently looked at the map, with deep worry in their eyes.
Unlike Tang Yun's previous life, many natural disasters here were not worth mentioning, whether it was fires, severe cold, sandstorms, thunderstorms, etc. Even fires like those in Australia that lasted for several months and could not be put out manually were nothing in the eyes of warriors.
The most terrifying thing is always the evil spirits.
Just like reincarnation, every time a period of stability passes, these forbidden areas will gradually become restless, and there seems to be an unstoppable trend. This interval usually occurs once every seven or eight hundred years.
And every time during this period, Zhenwu Pavilion will face the most severe test.
In the most serious incident, nineteen state leaders were killed in the battle, and countless warriors of all grades under his command. Even three deputy governors were killed in the battle. The governor was seriously injured and dying, and the big boss in the capital suffered heavy losses.
The entire imperial court was on the verge of collapse...
It was also at that time that certain sects took the opportunity to show their claws and jumped out to clean up the mess. They clearly stole the results of the imperial court and shamelessly took the credit for saving the common people on their own heads.
Moreover, relying on the heavy losses suffered by the imperial court, these sects finally felt proud and had the confidence to challenge the imperial court. This situation has continued to this day.
It can be said that the imperial court has not recovered from the initial heavy blow.
The various strange phenomena at the moment undoubtedly indicate that a new reincarnation has begun again. These guys seem to have finished recuperating and want to take the lead.
At this moment, Chen Xuanye suddenly stood up, raised his eyes to look at the end, and said calmly: "Yunzhou, Longyang County, Lord Tang Yun of Lingchuan Palace."
"My subordinates are here." Upon hearing this, Tang Yun immediately stood up and attended.
When Chen Xuanye looked at him, a somewhat complicated expression appeared on his face: "You have taken care of the matter of the Warrior Academy. What is the situation now?"
"Not bad." Tang Yun's heart sank, and his pupils shrank instantly.
How smart is he?
Tang Yun grasped the underlying meaning of the other party's words, which was why he felt unstable.
sect!
It's them again.
Tang Yun finally understood why after he defeated the Longyang Wulin and secretly established the Warrior Academy, the news spread but did not cause any disturbance.
You must know that those sects are not idiots, they have quick minds. If they say that they cannot see the threat to them after the development of the Warrior Academy, Tang Yun will not believe it to death.
Of course, he used various means such as secretly plotting against Chen Cang to completely uplift the Warrior Academy.
But when the news spreads, those sects will still launch an attack when they should.
When the life and death of the force is at stake, how can they care about bullshit reputation and morality? Their most likely possibility is to send a big boss to forcibly dismantle the Warrior Academy.
However, the other party never made any move, which made his heart so high that he never dared to take it lightly. Now Chen Xuanye's words completely solved Tang Yun's doubts.
There are riots in the forbidden area and disaster is coming.
It is difficult for the imperial court's strength alone to fully cope with this disaster, and conversely, it is impossible for the sect's strength alone to cope with this disaster.
The only possibility is for both parties to temporarily join forces, based on a primary and secondary issue.
Whoever speaks first will be convinced.
Once the sect gives in, the sect can easily destroy the Warrior Academy and put forward a series of conditions that are beneficial to itself.
Dead lips and cold teeth?
Understanding is one thing, being selfish is another.
Sound complicated?
In fact, it is not complicated to break it apart and crush it.
In short, if the imperial court wants to reduce losses and continue, it must agree to the sect's conditions, even if it is excessive, it must grit its teeth and endure it.
Although neither of them can delay time, the sect's geographical location is superior, and the possibility of bearing the brunt is minimal. In comparison, it can naturally last longer.
certainly……
The sect will not go too far. They are also afraid that the imperial court will break the pot and they will all die together, so the conditions they impose are excessive, but there is a limit to how far they can go.
It's like they are worthless, putting the court in a dilemma because they have squeezed the court's weakness - responsibility.
Since the imperial court is the co-owner of the world and maintains the rise and fall of the human race, its responsibility is naturally much greater than that of the sects who frequently close their doors and close their doors, so they will only compromise in the end.
Chen Xuanye said softly: "The two sects, three temples and six sects have sent news that they want you to disband the Warrior Academy, and the court must not do anything like this again, and in addition..., what do you think?"
"Trying to push further." Hearing this, the state leader next to him couldn't help showing a cold look on his face.
Several civil servants looked at each other, sighed and shook their heads: "Jianghu bandits cannot be cultivated."
In his position, he seeks his own government.
These six words refer not only to the officialdom and the court, but also to what is required of warriors in this world, the last bottom line.
If you only seek to enjoy happiness but dare not bear it, you are nothing but scum.
The credibility of the imperial court and the majesty of the imperial court are not based on chicken soup for the soul, let alone enslavement, but are built up by the lives of countless warriors over the years.
Why is Zhenwu Pavilion different from the so-called Jin Yiwei and Dongxi Factory? Why does it act fiercely, but it does not arouse the fear of the people, the disgust of the officials, and its notorious reputation?
Why was it that the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty were scheming against each other, but no one found fault with the excessive power of the Zhenwu Pavilion?
The reason is also here.
Just like the Tianhai Catastrophe, there are aristocratic families and small sects outside the county and city, and the innermost are common people.
However, the people of Zhenwu Pavilion have always stood on the outside. This is a sense of responsibility. This has created the unparalleled credibility and majesty of the imperial court.
Chen Xuanye suddenly looked at Tang Yun: "What do you think?"
Tang Yun squinted his eyes in deep thought, with complicated thoughts racing in his mind. He suddenly raised his head and said word by word: "Governor, Your Majesty, I am humbled by my position and have the courage to speak out. If I endure this step, I will never have another chance."
As soon as this was said, the whole audience fell into silence.
Some are shocked, some are pensive, some are puzzled, some are helpless... There are different eyes and different expressions, but without exception, everyone's attention is attracted by this sentence.
no chance!
The last great catastrophe in the world caused deep damage to the imperial court.
Later, it was stabbed by the sect alliance again, and it has never recovered until now. If it retreats again this time and the sect expands again, it will only make further progress in the future.
No one here is new to the officialdom. If you think about this carefully, can you not be clear about it?
But the problem is.
If the imperial court does not retreat, it will be the first to bear the brunt. If the situation develops like this, will the sect's next actions be like last time, stabbing the knife again and taking advantage of the situation?
This time, the imperial court really won't be able to hold on.
At the head of the high platform, the emperor looked at him quietly, and suddenly said: "Why?"
Tang Yun was stared at by countless eyes. Despite his strong psychological quality, there was still a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and his throat was inexplicably dry: "Warrior Academy."
"Not enough." The emperor slowly shook his head.
Tang Yun replied solemnly: "Quantity makes up for quality."
Chen Xuanye said: "This is gambling."
Tang Yun licked his lips, bowed slowly, and said nothing.
Some words are unnecessary to say, just like that fig leaf, there is no point in tearing it off.
The imperial court does have a sense of responsibility, and it is natural to monitor the world and protect the people. This is much better than those sects.
But this does not mean that they are great, upright, perfect, and people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the world without asking for anything in return.
Everyone has selfish motives.
After being tricked by the sect, the imperial court could no longer allow itself to be coerced.
If I retreat this time.
Then there will be no possibility of reversing the situation in the future.
So the only thing the court can do is... gamble!
The imperial court's bargaining chip lies in 'quantity'. Unlike sects, which are isolated in one corner, the whole world is under the rule of the imperial court. Although the best things are difficult to find, the reserves of most heavenly materials and earthly treasures are definitely greater than those of the world's sects combined.
many.
In addition, there are people's hearts and credibility, but these things are useful in peaceful and prosperous times, and they are of great significance in troubled times without monsters, but now... haha.
