Chapter 486: Reform Begins

Wuxu and Wen Tianxiang were feeling something and singing along, but the demon appeared at some unknown time. Its figure was half hidden in the sky, and its delicate face looked white and cold, "You are so leisurely!"

"Amitofo! Senior was hit by the Ten Directions Finger of Netherworld, but it put juniors like me in danger." Wuxu turned around, clasped his hands and said in a deep voice to the sky demon.

"If I hadn't personally protected you, how safe would you be? There are so many people like you out there who have died!" Tian Yao's voice was cold and emotionless, "What's more, after all, you are not dead, but more or less sick.

benefit."

"Senior, I can't thank you enough for your kindness." Wen Tianxiang bowed to the sky demon, his expression neither humble nor arrogant, "What is the reason for this sudden change in the capital? What is the situation? I hope that senior will not hesitate to give you some advice and guidance.

two."

"The reason? You don't need to know. You will know the situation tomorrow." The sky demon walked out completely and stood quietly in front of the two people, "But I would like to remind you that this radical change has far-reaching consequences.

Just take care of yourself."

Wuxu and Wen Tianxiang looked at each other and felt that there was something in the Tian Yao's words, but he was still not finished. They were about to ask something more, but saw the Tian Yao gently wave his hand, "Wen Tianxiang, you go out first, I have already

Go down and ask someone to arrange a room for you to be alone."

Wen Tianxiang bowed and left.

After a period of silence, Tian Yaofu said to Wuxu, "You must have guessed it. We need your cave magic weapon."

Wuxu pondered and replied, "Isn't it okay if I don't give it?"

The demon sighed, "If we could rob it, we would rob it the first time."

It's really naked enough.

Wuxu immediately said, "If the seniors need it, the young monk will fully cooperate."

"Haha! You are so good!" Tianyao laughed, "We have also discussed this matter. You can keep the Six Yuan Blessing Order, it can protect you in normal times; if necessary, the Six Yuan Blessing Order will naturally have a message

for you."

Naturally, Wuxu would not show off and pretended not to want the Six-Yuan Fortune Order. He just nodded to indicate that he understood.

"However, in the starry sky outside Tianxin Palace, you used all your strength to use the cave magic weapon, and it has already leaked some of its aura. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, remember not to use this thing again, unless I am waiting." The sky demon suddenly said seriously,

Finally, he added, "Especially in front of people from the Buddhist sect."

Wuxu nodded again.

"Also, I originally wanted you to go to Yongzhou, but now it seems that it is better for you to stay in Kyoto. In Kyoto, with us in charge, it is safer after all." Tianyao said slowly.

Wuxu also sighed, "The young monk is at your mercy."

...

The next morning, early in the morning, Wuxu was looking inside himself, when suddenly an extremely loud voice sounded in his ears. Wuxu woke up immediately, and then walked out unconsciously, towards the direction of the palace, and raised his head into the sky.

After a while, Wen Tianxiang also walked out, also facing the direction of the palace, raising his head and looking up into the sky. The same was true for many people or monks in many places in Kyoto.

This majestic sound naturally originated from the imperial palace and spread in all directions. It was obviously using the power of the Kyoto formation. It sounded like thunder and carried an unquestionable meaning, like a divine revelation. Although

Thousands of miles away, it still doesn’t stop.

The former emperor died, the new emperor was crowned, the name was changed to Reform, the world was amnesty, the system was reformed, and the behavior was improved...

Wuxu stood there quietly, listening carefully. Many monks next to him, including Wen Tianxiang, more or less screamed in surprise, and some even clearly expressed doubts and dissatisfaction. But soon, they and

As if he was enlightened, he stopped making any sound, and just listened quietly and carefully. Because one after another powerful spiritual thoughts were generated in various places, intimidating one party.

Where Wuxu and others were, it was naturally the Heavenly Demon. But fortunately, the surrounding people, or the people in the Demon Clan’s envoy, the Heavenly Demon had some control over. In other places, under the crushing power of the Heavenly Demon’s divine thoughts,

It is unknown how many casualties there were.

Of course, there were some who applauded and praised, but it was also regarded as disrespectful and was dealt with.

After a while, it seemed that only that majestic sound was left in the world.

The content explained by this voice, a total of sixteen sentences, roughly said four points:

First, the former emperor died, the new emperor was crowned, the name was changed to Gege, and the world was granted amnesty.

Second, when it comes to reforming the system and cultivating behaviors, there is no distinction between race, good or evil.

Thirdly, the six sects of the confederation set up a council of elders to govern Xuanyin in both the government and the public.

Fourth, Samsung ceased war, coexisted peacefully, started communication, and exchanged what we had.

This voice seems to use something similar to the Buddhist Sravaka method. Although the words are short, the implication contained in them is accurately conveyed to everyone's heart or consciousness.

This sound was repeated three times before it stopped. But the remaining sound still lingered and echoed between heaven and earth. Many people stood there blankly, as if they were hypnotized, or as if they had just woken up from a deep sleep. Everyone knew

The real big change came, but because of the previous killings and the threat of reality, as well as the many hidden meanings filling their minds, everyone seemed very quiet.

Wuxu woke up relatively early. He frowned, raised his head a little more, faced the mountainous spiritual clouds, took a long breath, and then took a deep breath.

Turn around and go back.

As soon as he returned to the house, Wen Tianxiang knocked on the door. Wuxu welcomed him in, and the two of them sat on the soft floor.

"The grand sound just now seems to have used the wonderful method of hearing in Buddhism," Wen Tianxiang said slowly at first, "Wenshan listened carefully, and there were many hidden meanings in it, as if he was afraid that things were really going to change."

Wuxu waved his hand, placed a bottle of wine and two jade cups on the table between the two of them, "The method of sravaka-hearing is originally taught by Buddhism. A mantra, recited, upheld and listened to by one man, will inevitably be heard all the time.

Engraved with different feelings and realizations, more

Let alone different people. I'm afraid that the content of the voice, what the Taoist friends heard and understood, is completely different from that of the young monk. If the young monk goes beyond the power of others and insists on different opinions from the Taoist friends, I am afraid that he will impose his own cause and effect on the monk.

Yu Taoist friend."

Wen Tianxiang smiled, "But, Master Wuxu, what's the point of setting out this wine glass? Is it just a conspiracy to get drunk?"

Wuxu laughed dumbly, raised the wine bottle, and filled the two wine glasses on the table.

Wen Tianxiang smiled and said, "You and I have been living here for a long time. If you want to drink, why not go out and find a lively place. Not only will you have all the fine wines, but you can also take a look at the new dynasty and the new atmosphere."

These words were in line with Wuxu's thoughts. It would really be interesting to see and hear how others reacted and commented. The two then stood up and left the door of the Demon Clan Mission.

When I went out, I saw that there were quite a lot of people outside. There were vendors who had been struggling to make a living, and there were also all kinds of monks, such as Wuxu and Wen Tianxiang, who came out to inquire about information. Those restaurants, teahouses, and bookshops

Most of the business establishments, except those whose owners died or were confiscated by the court, gradually reopened.

Naturally, there are rows of well-dressed soldiers holding sharp swords on the streets; and in the sky, there are groups of monks with ethereal figures and impressive auras.

Wuxu and Wen Tianxiang found a restaurant, went upstairs, and chose a seat near the window. After sitting down, they ordered a few drinks and dishes, ate wine slowly, and secretly observed the surroundings. Unexpectedly,

Most of the people around him were just like the two of them, silent and using their full energy to listen carefully to the discussions around them.

Of course, there are also those who are bold and love to show off, pretending to be mysterious and having "secret conversations" with others. But the topics they talk about are often about someone's family background, how they were in the court in the past, and even

It was also mixed with some romantic affairs, pretending to be a pig and eating an elephant, playing tricks and doing tricks, etc., just like the old feudal foot-binding cloth, smelly and long. In the end, it only had two words: dead.

After hearing this, Wuxu and Wen Tianxiang shook their heads.

However, when everyone saw that everything was the same, they gradually became bolder, but they could say anything. Some said that the late emperor was plotted against him, and he might not be dead yet, but was imprisoned in the depths of the palace.

A secret place; some say that Tianwaitian is about to face a catastrophe, and Xuan

The three stars of Yin, Xuanyang, and Netherworld should put aside their past grievances and work together to find a way out; others said that the Great Zhou Dynasty reformed the system and practiced in order to align with the six sects. In the future, the higher the cultivation level, the more status and power it will have.

.....It is inevitable that people will feel that what they have heard is specious.

At this time, there was a wave of spiritual energy outside the window, followed by the sound of objects breaking and falling to the ground, the sound of blood splattering in the air, and the sound of panic.

The wine shop suddenly became quiet.

Just when Wuxu and others were looking out the window, several monks in black and yellow uniforms had floated down and stood in mid-air. One of them spread out a hand made of unknown material.

The edict was chanted loudly,

"We reformed the system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and issued an edict with special spiritual resources: The vast starry sky, a drop of Xuanyin, how can it shine far away if the practice is not strong. However, Xuanyin resources are scarce, but all living beings enjoy them, and it is wasteful and mediocre. If things go on like this, nothing will happen.

Whether you cultivate or not, the stars will be dim and it will be difficult to survive outside the sky. Therefore, from now on, all spiritual resources should be assessed and collected by the imperial court and uniformly allocated to make the best use of spiritual resources, so that monks can emerge in large numbers to shine.

The power of Xuanyin spirit."

Suddenly, there was an uproar. This uproar seemed to be heard faintly in the distance, as if the scene was similar to here. But Wuxu heard it a little confused. The so-called shore of the land, could it be the king's land? Within the realm of mortals

The mountains, rivers, vegetation, everything, including the so-called spiritual resources, are not the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Great Zhou Dynasty, or the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Moreover, I have long heard that the Great Zhou Dynasty recruits talented people, rewards them with skills according to their grade and material, and supplies a certain amount of spiritual resources on a monthly basis. It can be said that they have been uniformly allocated to make the best use of them.

But why was there such an edict? Moreover, it caused an uproar among the people.

Wuxu, hurriedly secretly sent a message from his spiritual consciousness, and asked Wen Tianxiang next to him.

Wen Tianxiang seemed to be shocked, his face was uncertain, and he did not respond to Wuxu for a long time. It was not until most of the people in the restaurant had left that Wen Tianxiang woke up, pondered, smiled bitterly, and said to Wuxu, "Wuxu

Master Xu

, I am not familiar with some specific political affairs of the Zhou Dynasty, that’s why I had this doubt.” After talking about this, he joked to himself, “If Wenshan hadn’t been hit by a misfortune and was alone, I’m afraid he would have been running around like others.

Already."

"Previously, when the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded, I only controlled all the spiritual stone veins owned by the Royal Family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Over the next few hundred years, the Great Zhou court gradually developed and operated, and through various means, we were able to completely control the entire spiritual stone veins in the entire territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Control. And spiritual resources, as the name suggests, are

All materials that have spirituality or spiritual energy. Spiritual stones are just one of them. In addition to spiritual stones, there are also various spiritual herbs, spiritual medicines, spiritual talismans, spiritual fires, spiritual waters, and various spiritual materials.

Weapons and magic weapons. Although the imperial court nominally owned these spiritual resources, in reality

They are controlled by many forces. For example, many spiritual herbs and elixirs are controlled by the Bian clan of the elixir sect, and the spiritual talismans are controlled by the three major talisman-making families. The spiritual fire and spiritual water are now mostly owned by the royal family.

People occupy it, but some require special blood or physique

Only those who need it can be warmed, nourished and refined. As for various spiritual weapons and magic weapons, they are in the hands of various sects, various forces, and even various casual cultivators, and there are various restrictions or conditions on their use." Wen Tianxiang looked at it while looking at it.

Looking out the window at the bustling street market, he spoke slowly to Wuxu.

"Then isn't this impossible to implement or do? What's more, within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty and in this ten thousand miles of capital, there are still many spiritual resources. From a certain perspective, they belong to the six major sects."

Wuxu asked with a frown, still puzzled.

Wen Tianxiang sighed, "Since this is the first edict to reform the system, it must have been carefully considered and planned for a long time. If Wenshan's prediction is correct, not only did Dazhou really confederate with the Six Sects, but also with the elixir

Zong, the Talisman Making Family and other parties have reached some kind of agreement. As for the rest of the places, they may not be able to stop the conquest.

Paid. In fact, the previous sudden changes in Kyoto have removed many obstacles for this edict." Speaking of this, Wen Tianxiang gave another wry smile, "For example, Wenshan, all the spiritual resources in the mansion have been registered at this moment.

It’s on the list. If Wenshan fails to escape, then all the contents of Wenshan’s storage ring will also be returned to the court."

"To put it this way, it requires the strong cooperation of the six sects and some aristocratic families. It seems that the six sects of the confederation have set up an elders' council to govern Xuanyin together." Wuxu pondered, thinking carefully.

, often exhaled, "However, at present, this edict still has great consequences.

Disadvantages. For example, as Brother Wenshan just said, many spiritual talents require people with special blood or physiques, or they must be ghosts or monsters before they can get close to them, cultivate and utilize them, etc.? Another example is, those who perform this

The people who issued the edict used their hands to more or less take the spiritual resources as their own?"

"There are only a few people with special bloodline or constitution, and the imperial court will naturally use both kindness and power to cage them for their own use. This has been done before. For example, there is a spiritual spring in Qiulu City, named Qiulu, which is extremely cold.

Ordinary monks would not dare to drink it at will, but drinking it can drive away all insect poisons. Only the Bai family can

Only by protecting people with the skills passed down from generation to generation can their efficacy be kept unchanged and they can be refined into Qiu Lu Dan. Therefore, the imperial court decreed that the Bai clan be granted the title of "Qiu Lu City" and ordered them to stay in Qiu Lu City forever;

Most of the refined Qiulu Dan was sent to the imperial court." When Wen Tianxiang said this, he smiled faintly, "As for the moving spiritual resources,

There is a heart, but generally speaking, Da Zhou already has a relatively strict set of measures. For example, the monks who came to capture Wenshan that night were all selected and arranged. Wenshan was a ghost monk,

The monks sent by the imperial court were monks from both Buddhist and Taoist schools, and they were not from the same sect. Those Buddhist monks

Dao monks are generally not interested in all the spiritual resources of Ghost Dao monks, except for spiritual stones, so they might as well hand them over in exchange for some useful rewards. What's more, they are not from the same faction, and they still have to pay each other back.

There is a precaution, which generally eliminates the possibility of private exchanges between them and another group of monks."

While Wen Tianxiang was speaking, there was already a beeping sound outside.

It turns out that all the vendors on the street who are involved in the transaction of spiritual resources are being inspected at this moment. Obvious spiritual resources are directly assessed and confiscated on the spot. Unobvious items are also collected by soldiers with almost no cultivation.

, holding props for detecting spirits,

Sweeping around, if there is a beeping sound, it will naturally be regarded as a spiritual resource. As for searching the body, it is even more natural. If there is a storage ring, no matter whether it is a monk or not, it will be under the solemn gaze of those monks flying high in the sky.

, opened it obediently, and allowed inspection and collection.

If there is anyone who refuses to follow, he or she will be captured on the spot, or he will be able to escape for a while, and his breath will be locked by the capital formation, and an air restriction will be imposed, and he will swim in the shallow water, the tiger will fall flat, or he will be killed on the spot.

Or if your cultivation is deactivated and you take it back for careful interrogation, life would be worse than death.

While listening to Wen Tianxiang's words, Wuxu looked at everything happening outside the window. Finally, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It seems that I will have to rely on the court for my practice in the future. Well, I don't know if Xuanyang, Netherworld Star,

It's like this. If not, I would also like to be like fellow Taoist Wenshan and escape from Xuanyin Star and sneak away to practice."

Wen Tianxiang frowned, "With this edict, there must be many forces or monks. As Master Wuxu thought, how could the imperial court and the six sects not have expectations and backup plans? I'm afraid, if they want to make a secret now,

Yin Xing is extremely difficult."

At this time, several soldiers had already arrived at the wine shop where the two of them were. They worked in pairs, one group guarding the stairs, and the other group next to each other, searching the boxes one by one.

One group walked straight towards the only drinkers in the hall, namely Wuxu and Wen Tianxiang, and walked quietly.

Looking at the two soldiers approaching with a hand-held knife and a spiritual instrument in one hand, Wuxu couldn't help but smile bitterly at Wen Tianxiang and said, "What should we do? Since ancient times, people have not fought against officials, and individuals cannot fight against organizations.

"

"After all, you and I are real monks, and we must not compromise our dignity easily." Wen Tianxiang replied in a deep voice, but then changed the subject, "Fellow Taoist Wuxu, can you contact Senior Tianyao at this moment?"

As the two of them were talking like this, a piece of spiritual consciousness fell from high in the sky. It stayed for a moment far away from the window, and then said through the voice, "It turns out to be you two!"

When Wuxu heard that it was Lu Zhishen, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Wen Tianxiang again, his expression softened, and he seemed to recognize Lu Zhishen.

Lu Zhishen, who only heard Kuai Ren's quick words, said again, "The Sa family was ordered to sit here today. I thought it would be nothing serious. But I didn't expect to get the reward just now. There are two real monks here with extraordinary momentum. I don't know what to do. The Sa family has to be tough.

I came here to take a look, but I didn’t expect it to be two Taoist friends, hahaha..."

Lu Zhishen laughed hahaha through the sound, and Wuxu was very shocked when he heard it. He half-jokingly and half-seriously replied via voicemail, "Brother Zhishen, are you going to come and search the body of the monk and fellow Taoist Wenshan in person? Come on, beep, beep, beep."

....."

Hahaha...! Lu Zhishen laughed again, and in the midst of his laughter, he flew in front of Wuxu and Wen Tianxiang.

When the two soldiers who were about to come forward, including those behind him, saw the hero Lu Zhishen, they all bowed their heads and murmured, "I see you, the general."

Lu Zhishen waved to them, and after they all retreated, he smiled softly at Wuxu and Wen Tianxiang and said, "Presumably the two fellow Taoists were a little bit slanderous when the Spiritual Talents Order came out, right?"

Wuxu and Wen Tianxiang were silent.

Seeing this, Lu Zhishen laughed again, "Brothers, how scared are you?! There is only one real monk from the Sa family here, and just now the Sa family has set up a barrier. We all came from the human world, why should we be so cautious?

outside."

"With this sudden change in Kyoto, the general seems to have not been implicated, but has been reused." At this time, Wuxu smiled slowly.

"What a waste of time!" Lu Zhishen waved his arms again, and the broad sleeves of his robes rustled, "The weather has changed, I can't see through it! If it weren't for the sake of the sect, I wouldn't have quit!"

It seems that Lu Zhishen is very dissatisfied with the current job. Wuxu ignored it and asked directly with a smile, "Since senior brother has set up a barrier, can you allow me to leave some money to buy the road and let it go?"

Lu Zhishen glared at Wuxu, and slapped the wine table with his big hand like a cattail leaf fan, "Junior brother Wuxu, what are you talking about! Am I Lu Zhishen that kind of person?! Friend Wen Taoist, please comment.

I, Lu Zhishen, have never treated my brothers badly!"

Wen Tianxiang smiled slightly, "Master Zhishen is a man of temperament. Master Wuxu was just a joke."

Wuxu also smiled sheepishly, put his palms together to apologize, "Wuxu spoke freely, please don't take offense, Senior Brother Zhishen."

"Hey, after receiving this errand, it's hard to really leave. Well, the three of us will drink some thin wine here." Lu Zhishen looked like he was not interested, waved his hand slightly, and flew out of the sleeves of his robe.

A dark red wine pot and three white glazed wine glasses, "This wine must match these white glazed wine glasses."

Xuelihong? Wen Tianxiang suddenly let out a slight startle.

The blood-like wine silently poured into the three white-glazed wine glasses from the mouth of the pot; then, it overflowed the mouth of the cups and piled up like a mountain, but not a single drop fell. If you look inside through the white-glazed wine glasses,

The wine in the glass is no longer bright red, but white with red in it, and red with white in it. People can't help but think of the ice and snow melting, and the red color flying everywhere.

Lu Zhishen poured the wine slowly, smiled at Wen Tianxiang and Wuxu, "Wen Dao has a good eye, this is Xuelihong, and it is the best Xuelihong that has been stored for more than a hundred years. A few days ago, Sajia accidentally got

Come...?" Finally, he snorted slightly and said self-deprecatingly, "I don't want to steal or rob, just eat and drink."

Unexpectedly, Wen Tianxiang, who was on the opposite side, was stunned, "I didn't expect that Du Zhongcheng could not escape this disaster."

Seeing Wen Tianxiang's expression, Lu Zhishen suddenly remembered something and became embarrassed. He changed his previous laughter and said in a deep voice, "To be honest, the people in charge of your Yushitai this time are mainly from the Aurora Sect and Sanqing Palace. The Sa family just follows

I'm in the back, just for tying up. This pot of red snow was also picked up by the Sa family in the chaos."

"Lord Zhongcheng, he is a man of uprightness and gentleness. He is respected by both the government and the public for his broad vision, conduct and talents. His eldest daughter even entered the palace and became a noble concubine. In the beginning, it was Lord Du who appointed Wenshan to be the imperial censor." Wen Tianxiang.

, with slightly red eyes, murmured faintly, "I remember that Mr. Zhongcheng seems to have quite a lot of contacts with the new emperor on weekdays, and they also have many similarities in political opinions..."

When Wuxu saw Wen Tianxiang being so emotional, Lu Zhishen, who was opposite him, became more and more embarrassed, so he interrupted and said, "Who can tell me clearly about the battles in the palace? That's all, let's first pay homage to this Zhongcheng who is full of righteousness and has a breeze on his sleeves.

Let me have a drink, sir." After saying that, he raised the wine glass, flipped his wrist, and poured the wine in the glass onto the wooden board at his feet.

Lu Zhishen twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and poured down the wine in his hand in a muffled voice.

After a while, Wen Tianxiang stood up, picked up the glass of snow-red wine in front of him with both hands, and looked out the window into the distance. Then he bent down and poured the wine solemnly at his feet. After that, Wen Tianxiang calmed down and turned to face Wuxu.

, Lu Zhishen cupped his hands and said, "Wen just lost his composure, I hope you two fellow Taoists won't be surprised."

Wuxu had no choice but to take the initiative to talk to Lu Zhishen and said teasingly, "The deceased is long gone. Fortunately, senior brother will not regard us as remnants of the previous dynasty."

Lu Zhishen glared again, but heard Wuxu smile again, "Fortunately, junior brother, I am not afraid. I know that senior brother is good at wine, and there is a pot of Baihua Tiger bone wine here, which can be used as a bribe." As he said this, he took out the wine.

A bronze wine jug with a painting of a tiger descending from a mountain comes.

Lu Zhishen, also aware of the situation, put away the eye-catching Xue Lihong, took a deep breath, then glared at Wuxu and said with a smile, "Junior brother has not been hanging around in the Demon Clan Tiger Valley in the past few years. This is the best Baihua Tiger.

Bone wine is something that ordinary outsiders from the Tiger Clan cannot drink."

After three rounds of drinking, Nalu Zhishen burped, and said to Wuxu and Wen Tianxiang, "That's all, I'm just living here. Even if I enter Buddhism, I won't be free. Two fellow Taoists, Sajia must get

Went back."

"Aren't you going to search and confiscate spiritual resources?" Wuxu asked with a smile, "The so-called thief never escapes empty-handed. Senior brother went back empty-handed when enforcing the law for the first time. Isn't it hard to explain?"

"So that the two brothers know that the new law reform is not effective for real people and monks above. Of course, only for me." Lu Zhishen chuckled, gave the two men a meaningful wink, and was about to leave.

.

"Wait a minute! Yesterday's Dao Hongyin and today's spiritual resource order did not say this." Wen Tianxiang asked quickly.

"It's not said so clearly, but we all do this. Just imagine, if the court really requires such real monks, wouldn't it violate the principle of the supremacy of practice? Wouldn't Xuanyin Star really be in chaos?

A pot of porridge? By the way, two brothers, if you are interested in making a little windfall, we can meet here tomorrow." Lu Zhishen laughed heartily, but his body seemed to be either a traitor or a thief, and he flew far away with a swish.

Wuxu and Wen Tianxiang glanced at each other and were speechless for a moment.

Hongyin preached the great road, reformed the law and changed the system.

Don't waste your spiritual resources; a real person will drink wine.
