After Emperor Qin stayed at the Kong family for three days, he ordered the team to continue moving forward. However, Dongshan Province was already the farthest east, so the route had been changed to return west, intending to pass through the northern provinces and then return to Guanzhong.
, stopped and stopped along the way but did not make any more stops. Emperor Qin simply took a look at the current situation of the empire and did not make any further comments. However, during this period, the letters of appointment and dismissal from Zhongshu Province were dated a few years ago.
Times as much.
After the parade passed Hangu Pass, they did not go to Chang'an, but continued to walk west. Hu Hai asked curiously: "Where are we going?"
Huang Banban replied with a serious face: "Fangwai Holy Land, Kunlun Taoist Palace."
Hu Hai looked excited after hearing this: "Is it the legendary place where immortality is cultivated and immortality is achieved?"
Huang Banban coughed and choked and quickly explained: "Cultivation to immortality is all made up by people who don't understand martial arts. There is only one way in the world that can finally achieve immortality, which is martial arts practice. Martial arts practice is self-cultivation.
Only by finally breaking through countless limits can you truly live forever.”
After hearing this, Hu Hai couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and muttered: "You can't live forever in the martial arts even if you are as strong as your father. True martial arts immortality is so difficult, can you really break through it with human power?"
Huang Banban was so frightened that he quickly covered Hu Hai's mouth. If Emperor Qin heard these words, even if Hu Hai was his biological son, he would be taught how to be a good man every minute. Why does it feel like Hu Hai has become more and more bold in talking nonsense recently? Could it be him?
Is the teaching wrong?
Huang Banban then continued: "In fact, according to the records, there are still several strong men who have broken through to the realm of immortality. The more famous ones are the founders of the three major sects, the Taoist saint Li Er, the Confucian saint Confucius, and the Buddhist saint Shi
Jia and several ancient Yellow Emperors, and the Kunlun Taoist Palace is said to be the place where Taoist saint Li Er practiced. After Li Er ascended to the throne, his disciples continued to adhere to his cultivation philosophy and practiced in Kunlun. Over the years, masters have emerged one after another, so they were also recognized by martial arts.
The strong call it the Holy Land of Martial Arts."
After hearing this, Lin Ze finally realized that the purpose of Emperor Qin's eastward tour was very clear. It's no wonder that no one in the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty objected to this waste of manpower and material resources, and wasting money and people. Even the imperial envoys and officials who were the most outspoken in their remonstrances did not object.
There was no symbolic opposition because no one wanted to offend Emperor Qin, but for now, Emperor Qin may not have gained anything.
After four months, the team finally arrived at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains. In front of them were two people standing in the sky, rising like a rainbow. Huang Banban looked shocked and blurted out: "It's Shang Jun and Wu An."
Sir, Your Majesty has transferred the two of them here, is there any danger in the Kunlun Taoist Palace?"
Lin Ze was also shocked. His evaluation of the so-called holy land had risen to countless levels. Generally speaking, empires and sects are two development models in the martial arts world. One tends to dominate the world and inherit it from generation to generation. This type of pursuit is
Wealth from generation to generation; one likes pleasure in the world, mixed with chivalrous tenderness and so on. This type pursues no regrets in a lifetime. It is not about who is good or bad. It is just that everyone has different life concepts. But it is inevitable that there will be differences between each other because of resources.
and talents, even fighting to the death because of different ideas. But now that the Great Qin Empire has suppressed the world and sects have become vassals, Lin Ze thought that all the sects were relatively weak. Originally, in his mind, the sects were one level weaker than the government, but now the Great Qin
It seems that the sect may really have the capital to compete with the Qin Dynasty, so much so that Emperor Qin had to bring two more powerful killers to follow him when he went to Kunlun. As for the Kong family, the so-called saint family is probably just a mascot. Confucian saints are really
The remaining orthodoxy should be in Confucianism, one of the three sects in the world.
This is actually Lin Ze's misunderstanding. Even if Kunlun Dao Palace can keep everyone else, including Zhao Gao, it can't keep Emperor Qin. Taking action hastily will only bring disaster to the Dao Palace. As for Emperor Qin
Bringing two great masters along with them is both a form of respect and a deterrent to the Kunlun Dao Palace.
Holy land sects like Daogong, except for a few individuals who participate in some secular affairs, are generally aloof from the world. This is also the main reason why Da Qin can accommodate their existence. Otherwise, in Da Qin's style, they will be ruthless and pay a little more price, and put them to death.
They can still wipe it out one by one. Just like the Jixia Academy back then, which dared to fully support the Qi State against the Qin Dynasty, the grass in the Academy today can still grow several feet long.
The team only stopped for a short while and soon continued to set off. However, this time Lin Ze felt that his performance had improved a lot. Two master-level people were flying in front to clear the way. Is there anyone more magnificent than this in the world?
Moreover, Lin Ze is particularly envious of those who can fly at every turn. It is said that only the fifth grade has the ability to fly for a short period of time. To fly like this for a long time, you must be a master. To show off, bah, to fly in the center of a circle
Dreaming, Lin Ze has another reason to practice martial arts seriously.
Kunlun Mountain is towering and stretches endlessly. In the tribal era, it was considered the edge of the world. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. From a distance, it looks pure white and holy. It is also a place that people long for in mythology. This mythical place of longing was not known before.
Every year, ascetic monks went on foot to worship until the rise of the Qin Dynasty. Why did it end with the rise of the Qin Dynasty? Ahem, because most of the ascetic monks were arrested by the Qin government and worked as coolies.
There is a majestic, majestic and quiet building complex on Kunlun Mountain. It is ancient and glorious. Compared with Chang'an City, it is much less rich and secular, but more classical and holy. It is said that it is the first one to follow Taoist saints.
A group of disciples mobilized believers to crawl hundreds of miles up the mountain every day to transport materials up bit by bit to build it.
But on this day, the Kunlun Taoist Palace became active like a giant beast waking up in silence. The disciples got up early to clean up, clearing the roads for dozens of miles, and the palace doors that had always been closed were opened to welcome Emperor Qin.
The arrival of such a scene was not only because Emperor Qin was the strongest emperor in the world today, but also the strongest warrior in the world today.
Finally, under the guidance of his disciples, Emperor Qin and his entourage walked straight towards the Dao Palace. Ten miles away from the Dao Palace, the contemporary master of the Dao Palace led more than a dozen elders to greet him: "Welcome to His Majesty the Emperor of Qin, Grand Master Shang Junwei, Wu An
Grand Master Jun Gongsun came to the Kunlun Taoist Palace." Different from the previous times, Emperor Qin did not enter the Taoist Palace in a dragon chariot. Instead, he gave the Taoist Palace enough respect. When he greeted him, he got off the dragon chariot and rushed to the Taoist Palace.
Everyone in the Dao Palace nodded and, under the guidance of the Palace Master, walked towards the Dao Palace.
Hu Hai suddenly said with certainty: "The master of that palace must be the master." Lin Ze asked strangely: "Oh, why is this? Is your martial arts suddenly so advanced that you can tell who is the master?"
It gave Hu Hai a heartache all of a sudden, and Hu Hai said quietly: "Of course I can't tell, but my father once said that anyone below the Grand Master is not qualified to look at him twice." Now it was Lin's turn.
Ze was choked, but Qin Shihuang was so domineering and worthy of being the emperor he admired most.
After entering the gate of the Dao Palace, the team split up. The palace master took Emperor Qin and others to the main hall of the Dao Palace. Hu Hai and others were taken to the side hall by an elder. As for the eunuchs and maids, they were taken directly to Emperor Qin.
The guards were taken to the place where they were about to live and where they were going to camp. The palace buildings were limited and there was no room for more than 20,000 people to live in. They had to find a suitable place to set up tents outside.
The elder led Hu Hai all the way into a side hall. After sitting down together, he asked the boy to serve tea. Suddenly he saw Lin Ze standing behind Hu Hai. His eyes focused. This face was a bit strange. After thinking about it for a while, he almost couldn't bear it.
He shouted: "This is the sign of reincarnation." Then his face changed, and he told his disciples to accompany Hu Hai and the others well, and he fulfilled their small requests, and he immediately ran towards the master of the Dao Palace.
Hu Hai and Lin Ze didn't care. They brought up the idea of visiting various places in the Tao Palace with the accompanying disciples. Especially when Lin Ze said that he wanted to visit the library of the Dao Palace, it made the disciple a little embarrassed. After all, the library was in the palace.
It is an important place and cannot be easily viewed by outsiders.
The Taoist priest named Zhending wanted to refuse, but then he remembered his master's instructions before leaving. He thought that as long as he paid close attention to the two or three people, nothing would happen to him. As for the fear of the classics being leaked, there was no such thing.
There are more than tens of millions of books in the library. Some people will never finish them in a lifetime, let alone just for this moment. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will take you to visit the library."
Lin Ze was already happy, but at the same time he was a little regretful. He was in a hurry last time at Kong's house and didn't even steal the book. Bah, study hard.
When he arrived at the library, Xiao Jin wanted to be as excited as a mouse entering the rice barn, but Lin Ze couldn't have the same fun as before. He first pretended to follow Zhending for a while, and then asked for a free visit. Zhending
After seeing that he seemed honest, it was Hu Hai who gave him a headache. He hurriedly agreed and stared at Hu Hai alone.
On the other side, the Palace Master of the Dao Palace had a very pleasant conversation with Emperor Qin and the two masters. Emperor Qin also made a request to visit the collection of books left by the Dao Sage. The Palace Master of the Dao Palace seemed to have expected it: "Then please invite Emperor Qin to return to the hospital.
Rest, everything is ready."
"Good" Emperor Qin was very satisfied with this and said to Shang Jun on the side: "When disciples of the Dao Palace travel, the various states will give them certain preferential treatment." Shang Jun said yes with a smile.
Then Emperor Qin took the "Imperial Double Wall" back to the courtyard arranged by the Taoist Palace, and together they studied the collection of books left by the Taoist Saint.
An elder next to him said unwillingly: "The things left by Taoist Saint were given to them so easily?"
The palace owner sighed: "The situation is stronger than the person, so what can be done?"
"But my Dao Palace is not weak either?"
The palace owner did not reply, and another older elder shouted: "But the Great Qin is stronger. The Great Qin has unified the world, has countless strong men, and has 13 grandmasters. What can the Dao Palace fight for? Elder Xuanxin,
First of all, you must remember that you are a disciple of the Dao Palace, not a noble of the destroyed Yan Kingdom. Don't let the tens of thousands of disciples of the Dao Palace be destroyed by your selfishness. The Dao Palace is not a family, and the Tao Palace's otherworldly rules cannot be
Damn it, if Elder Xuanxin insists on doing something, just leave the Dao Palace and fend for yourself, and don’t involve the innocent Dao Palace disciples.”
These words made the elder Xuan Xin lose his mind. Finally, when he thought of the tragic scene of the destruction of his motherland, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Finally, he slowly took off the crown that represented his identity as an elder: "Please forgive me, Palace Master, Xuan Xinchen is still heartbroken."
However, I am no longer suitable to be the elder of the Dao Palace, so I resign from the Palace Master."
All the elders were shocked when they heard this and they all advised: Elder Xuanxin, don't act out of anger, Elder Xuanxin think twice.
Elder Xuanxin was extremely determined: "I have made up my mind. After making this decision, my whole body seemed to relax. Maybe it is because my heart towards the Tao is not firm, so I have been unable to enter the master realm.
In the days to come, let me live selfishly for myself and for the late Dayan. You don’t have to worry, I will definitely not implicate Daogong."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was silent. At this moment, the elder who accompanied Hu Hai broke in, but did not pay attention to the subtle atmosphere. He directly said to the Palace Master: "Palace Master, I just found out that Mr. Da Qin is next to him.
There is a reincarnated sage, and I wonder if he is a sage from my Taoist palace. Palace Master, what do you think we should do?"
Attracting everyone's attention at once, the Palace Master of the Dao Palace lost his voice and said, "Elder Xuanming, are you sure you didn't admit your mistake?"
Elder Xuanming was unhappy when he heard this: "Old man, I have specialized in the art of physiognomy. Besides, that guy's face is quite strange. If you don't believe it, you can call him over and have a look together." He looked at the disheveled Elder Xuanxin again.
He asked curiously: "Xuanming boy, who beat you like this? I remember you are not weak. Is it the palace master?"
As soon as these words came out, all the elders were dumbfounded. Elder Xuanxin's depressed mood was also dissipated a lot. Elder Xuanming is the oldest among them. He is also willing to support the younger generations and is highly respected. However, over the years,
, failed to advance to Grandmaster, probably because he looked away, and instead acted like an old naughty boy, speaking more casually.
Soon an elder who was almost the same generation as Elder Xuanming explained what had just happened, and Elder Xuanming suddenly realized: "It's nothing, Xuanxin, since you have made the decision yourself, just follow your heart.
Well. Everyone should be happy for you. Before going down the mountain, remember to ask me for a good drink with the old man." After saying this, everyone felt a little more accepting, and Xuan Xin looked at Xuan Ming gratefully.
"Okay, back to the subject, Palace Master, do we need to take any action? The reincarnation of a sage is still a grandmaster no matter how bad he is, and he is not an ordinary grandmaster. I think that guy is just a follower, and his status is not very good. Do we want to dig him out?"
Come here, I heard that the magic stick of Da Qin went overseas and didn't come back. We won't have anything to do when he comes back." Xuan Ming urged.
The master of the Dao Palace then said: "Let's ask him to come over first. He may not be the sage of our Dao Sect." After saying this, he waved to call a boy and told him to invite Lin Ze to come over.
Xuan Ming was not happy: "It doesn't matter which family he belonged to in his previous life, as long as he belongs to Taoism in this life." Everyone was speechless, and the palace owner was a little helpless: "Back then, the three families agreed not to privately accept sages from other families."
"Collect it secretly. He has a public identity and is not listed in the Taoist palace's name," Xuan Ming said confidently.
