Time passed by in a hurry, six years passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the twentieth year since the founding of the emperor.
At this time, Wu Houling can no longer be described as prosperous. It should be said to be the pearl of the entire south and the economic center of the land south of the Yangtze River.
There is an endless stream of people and cars on the spacious and solid official road. The villages along the way are all green bricks and black tiles. The small shops in the village are bustling and bustling, and the towns are even more prosperous and lively.
There are many shops and businesses are prosperous. Merchants from the north and south are dancing and dancing in their dialects. Passers-by are all wearing smart clothes and their steps are steady and brisk. The streets and alleys are filled with the fragrance of various wines, special foods and snacks.
When outsiders come to Wuhou territory, they will be shocked by the prosperity and cleanliness here, especially the clean and tidy sanitary environment, which leaves a deep impression on outsiders.
There is no domestic garbage on the street that can be seen everywhere in other cities. What is even more novel is that there are no little carrot heads running around and screaming. The street is both prosperous and orderly, giving people a very good impression.
Of course, if an outsider asks, the locals will naturally tell him that the children in the city are exercising and playing together at the nearby Scout camp.
As for what a Scout is, you need to have a deep understanding of the system of the Wuhou Territory.
In the major towns in the Marquis of Wu, there is no shortage of goods from the north to the south. There is no mass goods that you can’t think of, and there are no mass goods that you have never seen. In just one place, you can enjoy common food and clothing goods from all over the Sui Dynasty. In this era
It's definitely a rare thing.
Another impression Wuhouling gives to outsiders is that the traffic here is smooth.
Major towns are not only connected by spacious and solid official roads, but there are also official roads of different specifications connecting towns and villages. Whether you take the No. 11 bus or ride a horse, you can reach your destination quickly and easily anywhere.
land.
There are also four-wheeled buses with fixed schedules in the city, and there are also four-wheeled buses with fixed departure times for short, medium and long distances outside the city. The travel transportation is the best in the Sui Dynasty.
Not only is land transportation convenient, water transportation is even more convenient.
Major towns are connected by canals or natural rivers. With just a medium-sized boat, you can easily travel around the entire territory. Looking at the entire Sui Dynasty, no region can compare with the waterway transportation in Wuhou's territory.
It is developed and convenient.
This is also a paradise for warriors. Among all towns and even villages, the most lively place is where the martial alliance branch is located. Generally, the area is vast and divided into several floors with magnificent buildings.
The main hall and many side halls on the first floor are where you receive tasks and directly negotiate with the sponsor. Behind them are the arena and level assessment institutions to test the strength of the warriors.
Upstairs are the restaurant and private rooms, and above that is where the senior officials of Wumeng League work and where important documents are stored.
The Wu Meng branch not only has a special counter for receiving and completing tasks, but it is also the most well-informed place in the city and place. It also has a regular sales point of "Wu Bao" and Wu Houling's characteristic official newspaper. Every day
A large number of registered heroes came to inquire about the latest affairs.
These methods were obviously used to gather the hearts of the warriors and promote the territory. They were obviously the work of Wu Hou Leihu, a time traveler.
It is true that the Wuhou Territory is a paradise for warriors, but there are very few people in the Jianghu who act recklessly in the territory, or rely on their strength to act tyrannically, not even the large gangs in the Southern Jianghu.
In the territory of the Marquis of Wu, the Marquis Mansion is naturally the only official organization to manage the rivers and lakes under its rule, and then there is the Martial Alliance, and there are also several sects with military backgrounds in the territory to assist, foreign Jianghu forces and the fierce dragons crossing the river, even if they have the strength of a master
They all had to stay safe, otherwise they would immediately run away thousands of miles away once they committed a crime, and they had to be constantly on guard against the pursuit of bounty hunters from the Marquis of Wu, otherwise there would be no chance of escaping.
On this day, another monk from the Tiantai Sect sent a letter to the Qiantang Marquis Mansion. After reading the letter, Lei Hu threw it aside and smiled at the master Qingxu who was sitting next to him: "Cihang Jingzhai has not given up yet and invited me again.
Go to the Emperor's Peak to read the Cihang Sword Code!"
The older Taoist Qingxu gets, the more immortal he becomes. His head is gray, his face is rosy and radiant, and his whole body is surrounded by pure Qi. It is obvious that he has practiced Taoism to a very advanced level.
This is a matter of course. As the influence of the territory grows, more and more Daogong classics are collected through various means.
With Lei Hu's almost divine soul state, even though he has not practiced the Taoist magic skills he collected, it does not prevent him from integrating the Taoist classics and resources in his hands with a high-level vision.
In addition, Louguan Taoism took the initiative to get closer, and copies of the core Taoist treasures of the Yinzi lineage of various Laojun sects arrived, and Taoist masters such as Tian Gu Shilao and other successful Taoist practitioners came to discuss Taoism.
To sum up, Lei Hu gradually realized a set of authentic Taoist methods of nourishing qi and practicing qi with an extremely high level.
This method of nourishing qi and practicing qi created by taking the harmony of yin and yang as the backbone of the Taoist ancestors and filling in the theories and methods of the other branches of the Taoist sect is the Taoist sect's mysterious skill, which uses the human body as a furnace and all things in the world as its core.
The nourishment and spirit are used to forge the perfect Tao body for the furnace fire, so as to achieve the miraculous state of unity with heaven and man, and what is pursued is the illusory avenue of immortality.
This skill is called "Yin Yang Body Strengthening Technique". After its creation, Taoist Qingxu volunteered to be the first guinea pig to practice it, but the effect was surprisingly good.
"Yin Yang Body Training Gong" combines the principles of Taoism and many body training concepts of Neijiaquan. It combines movement and stillness with the manifestation of yin and yang. It is a supreme foundation-building mystical skill that leads directly to the road of heaven and man.
Qingxu Lao Dao has been practicing for nearly two years and has only achieved a small success at the moment. However, the functions of his old body have been greatly improved and have been maintained at the peak state that he can bear.
Even his own internal strength cultivation, with the help of these body-building mystical skills, broke through and reached the late Xiantian stage in one fell swoop. Ziwu Gang, who is in the true lineage of Taozu, is not far away from Dacheng.
If he hadn't been so brave and fierce in his youth and participated in many battles between the Holy Sect and the Buddhist Sect, and his body's potential was greatly depleted, it would be impossible to say that he would have become a half-step master at the peak of his innate talent.
Just like this, Qingxu Lao Dao's Taoist skills have also been greatly improved, and even the ten elders of Tiangu are no weaker than him in Taoism. He is actually a veritable Taoist leader in the territory.
"Buddhists are a little impatient!"
Old Taoist Qingxu said leisurely: "The prince they assisted has been deposed. This is a delicate moment. Naturally, we don't want the Taoist sect to take the opportunity to rise!"
It is said that after years of planning, King Yang Guang of the Jin Dynasty finally deposed the crown prince Yang Yong in this year and sat on the throne of the crown prince of the Sui Dynasty.
The court was closely connected with the Jianghu. Cihang Jingzhai had always supported the prince Yang Yong before, but he did not expect that Yang Yong would be defeated so quickly. Before Cihang Jingzhai could mobilize powerful connections to save the situation, he was defeated by the Sui Dynasty.
Emperor Yang Jian directly deposed him and imprisoned him in the former prince's mansion.
Among the forces supporting Jin Wang Yang Guang's ascension to the throne, the Yinkui Sect of the Holy Sect is one of the main forces, and naturally knows many secrets of the palace and court.
Considering the relationship between Thunder Tiger and Yin Kui Sect, it is not difficult to find out clearly.
It seemed that the prince Yang Yong was defeated by Yang Guang, Yang Su and other important ministers, with a series of vicious and vicious punches, but Lei Hu had a different view.
Yang Yong did indeed do many things that were against the rules, but to a dignified prince, they were nothing. His biggest problem was that he was too soft-tempered.
If we look at the Song and Ming dynasties, it would not be a bad thing if the emperor had a soft temper, just like Song Renzong.
But in the Sui Dynasty, which had just ended the 400-year conflict between the Jin and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, such a temper was no longer the case.
In addition, the Sui Dynasty had an unfair foundation, and none of its important ministers were vegetarians. They were all tigers and wolves who only focused on profit and fists. Once the monarch became soft-tempered, it was very likely that the ship would overturn.
Cihang Jingzhai supported the crown prince Yang Yong on behalf of Buddhism, which should be one of the main reasons for Yang Yong's misfortune.
The Buddhists supported Yang Jian to establish the Sui Dynasty, and they were already full of food. Obviously, this successful experience made Cihang Jingzhai and the senior Buddhists feel so good that they wanted to do it again.
And Yang Yong has a very soft-tempered temperament, and all the eminent Buddhist monks are eloquent, so there is no telling what he will be deceived into when he becomes the emperor.
The harm of Buddhism is much more direct and terrifying than that of aristocratic families. Since the rise of Buddhism in Liang Wu, there have been two large-scale exterminations of Buddhism in just a short period of time. This shows the harm of Buddhism to national interests.
It's big and looks ugly when eaten.
With Yang Yong's temperament, how could he have the courage to suppress Buddhism and even raise the butcher's knife?
Therefore, in Lei Hu's view, Cihang Jingzhai represents the support of Buddhism. Not only is it not a boost to Yang Yong, it is also one of the biggest points lost.
I don’t know if Cihang Jingzhai has ever reflected on it, but they obviously weren’t hit, they just remained silent or showed signs of weakness.
Buddhism is still powerful, and Cihang Jingzhai is still the leader of the White Way!
However, it is obvious that without the support of the next generation of Sui emperors, Buddhism's momentum will inevitably decline. The one most likely to seize the opportunity to rise rapidly is naturally the Taoist sect, which has considerable influence among the high sects in the north.
Among the Taoist sects, the most influential ones are none other than the two powerful masters, one is Sanren Ning Daoqi, and the other is Wuhou Leihu.
It has to be said that the top management of Cihang Jingzhai is so thoughtful that they are willing to take out basic secret books such as "Cihang Sword Code" to let the two Taoist masters read the favors of their subordinates, and at the same time disrupt the two Taoist masters Chengche's
Dao Xin, such a conspiracy makes people have no choice but to accept it.
I just don’t know what’s going on with Sanren Ning Daoqi. Anyway, Lei Hu has received the invitation for the third time.
"The nuns at Cihang Jingzhai don't know what they are thinking. How can I go north at a time like this?"
Lei Hu said angrily: "If you really want to be sincere, then get a copy of "Cihang Sword Code" so that I can read it carefully!"
Old Taoist Qingxu laughed and scolded: "What a beautiful thought. Cihang Sword Code is one of the four great wonders. How can I give you a set of copies without fear of spreading it completely?"
"Then what can be done?"
Lei Hu said calmly, "Yang Jian is not only older, but also more murderous. I don't want to go north and have him targeted!"
