Senior brother, it would be a good idea to send an observation group to Beijing. However, the cost in the capital is very high, so we should plan accordingly. My brother, suddenly became the secretary-general of Tianren Academy, which is very complicated and unbearable. If senior brother comes, I will look forward to it. See the words
Like meeting.
After Wuxu informed Zhu Yuanzhang of Yongzhou's decision to send an observation group, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately responded to the letter. Wuxu read it, thoughtfully.
Zhu Yuanzhang's reply had three meanings. First, he agreed with Wuxu's dispatch of an observation group, and could be said to have accepted it on behalf of Tianren Academy; secondly, the capital city was spending a lot of money, and he suddenly became the secretary-general of Tianren Academy.
, it is inconvenient for him to give too much help to the observation group when they enter Beijing; thirdly, Zhu Yuanzhang revealed his intention to win over in a rather subtle way, perhaps as a "repair" rhetoric after not being able to give too much help, or maybe he really has this idea.
.
Wuxu passed Zhu Yuanzhang's reply to all the True Spirit monks. The message from the True Spirit monks was just like the so-called remote high-definition video conference in Wuxu's previous life in the 21st century.
Then Fairy Yu sent a message and pointed out, "If Yongzhou wants to be independent, a stable source of spiritual resources is the number one problem."
This problem seemed unsolvable for a while. Yongzhou itself had no special products. During the Great Zhou Dynasty, due to its geographical location, it was set up as a border town, and the city's finances depended entirely on border trade. Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty is no longer there, border trade has been lost.
At the moment, the deal with the former Princess Zhou about the future seal and the cooperation with Duobao Pavilion may not be a problem in the short term, but in the long run, no one can guarantee it.
Fairy Yu asked this question, and everyone was silent. Although Wuxu had some ideas, they were not yet mature, so he did not respond.
For a moment, the scene was a little awkward.
At this moment, a bright light flashed and came from the direction of the Tao Gate.
The golden silk robe, the swaying haze, the eyes like lightning, commanding the wind and clouds. It is the mysterious man, Tong Yuchun. It seems that not only has the injury been healed, but his cultivation has also improved.
He flew straight to the city lord's mansion, and Wuxu came out of the quiet room to greet him.
During the greetings, Xuan Jizi expressed his intention to come. One was to thank Wuxu for his previous rescue, and the other was to represent the Taoist sect to discuss cooperation in the Xuanyin Competition.
Wuxu was very happy at first, but after listening carefully, he became pondered. The Taoist sect seemed to have accurately calculated the number of refugees in Yongzhou, but there were very few talents, so they sent Xuanjizi. To put it bluntly, they wanted to use Yongzhou's competition quota.
Wuxu doesn't know why the Taoist sect wants to borrow Yongzhou's competition quota. But if your Taoist sect borrows my Yongzhou quota, doesn't it mean that I, Yongzhou, have no one? If word spreads, doesn't it mean that I, Yongzhou, have become a vassal of the Taoist sect?
Wuxu did not agree for the moment, and only said that Yongzhou sent out an observation group, and in principle they would not participate in any competitions.
Xuanjizi seemed to have expected something. Instead of being annoyed, he smiled and said, "Please wait for a while. If it doesn't hurt, you can give me a spot so that I can do business." Then he and Wuxu chatted about returning the Pearl Tower.
There seemed to be some thoughts behind the words.
Since Su Ji left, Li Mingshan is now in charge of Huanzhu Tower. In the future, due to Qian Dan's intervention, I am afraid it will be divided into Beijing and Yongzhou. Wu Xu explained the situation implicitly.
Xuanjizi, after listening, said slowly, "The branch of Huanzhu Tower in the capital naturally needs to be taken care of by our side. If you are worried that the matter will involve Yongzhou, how about I come forward?"
Xuanjizi is bold, careful and greedy for power. Wuxu expected him to have such a plan.
Wuxu naturally agreed and said, "Of course it's all right. But I'm afraid I have to trouble you to stay in the capital?"
Xuanjizi immediately smiled and said, "So that you know that I have accepted the order and will be stationed in the capital in the future."
"Oh? Isn't there news that after the alliance, the true spirits of the six sects are not allowed to enter the capital without any reason?" Wuxu asked.
Xuanjizi had just recovered from a serious illness and seemed to be in a good mood, so he patiently explained everything to Wuxu. It turned out that the so-called true spirits of the six sects were not allowed to enter the capital without any reason, which refers to ordinary situations. If the six sects designated a certain true spirit monk from their side to be permanently stationed in the capital,
It is allowed to go on official business, similar to diplomats
However, the numbers of the Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Tianren Academy are very strict, and each sect only allows two places. Speaking of which, Xuanjizi was sent to the capital for permanent official duties this time because the Taoist sect considered it.
He and Zhu Yuanzhang were both monks who came up from the human world, so they had some connection with each other.
When it comes to Zhu Yuanzhang, Xuan Jizi has something to say. He knows that Wuxu and Zhu Yuanzhang are still brothers and sisters, so he asks what their relationship is like now.
Wuxu shook his head, it was just some old feelings and purely personal friendship.
"I can't see through this person more and more." Xuanjizi sighed as if nothing.
"Perhaps he has an adventure?" Wu Xu replied lightly, his face suddenly changed, and he raised his head and looked out of the hall.
At the same time, Master Yuanfa sent a message. He said that he and Shen Qian had already flown outside Yongzhou City.
Both of them were dressed in disguise and did not show their true colors. A tall and thin old man with disheveled hair, his face covered with red and green scars, and his triangular eyes showing a fierce look; a handsome young man with flowing white clothes and clear eyes.
On his wrist is a string of skulls.
Wuxu welcomed the two of them into the city lord's palace and introduced them to Xuanjizi. He only said that they were demon cultivators whom he met in the Great Freedom Palace. However, he did not expect that Xuanjizi was also very interested in the Great Freedom Palace and actually became familiar with Yuanfa Shen.
The two started talking.
Two people, Yuan Fa Shen Qian, one calls himself Yuan Ming and the other calls himself Mo Sheng. They deal with each other fluently and talk and laugh happily.
Wuxu gave a bitter smile, but seeing that the three of them were chatting happily, he had no choice but to secretly communicate with Yuan Fa and Shen Qian.
Yuan Fa told Wuxu that he and Shenqian came to Yongzhou this time, firstly for the future seals, and secondly for the Xuanyin Competition. The last batch of future seals, after Wuxu sent them there, had a long history.
The princess was very satisfied. This time, more
The number was increased to 10,000, so Yuanfa needed to be escorted. During the Xuanyin Competition, the eldest princess had no idea, but Master Yuanfa took the matter seriously.
He solemnly told Wuxu that during the Xuanyin Competition, the Buddhist sect would deliberately target Yongzhou because of Wuxu's status as a cultivator.
Wuxu couldn't help but hesitate to ask, "We are all disciples of Buddhism. How can people from the Buddhist sect not understand the way of harmony?"
According to common sense, the Buddhist sect would win over itself by sharing the same sect.
Master Yuanfa snorted coldly, "You don't know the arrogance and arrogance of the Buddhist sect. It is difficult for Buddhist disciples like us who come up in this world to enter their Dharma eyes, and are even regarded as heretics."
This is quite possible.
Ever since he came to the outer world, the Buddhist sect has not sent anyone to contact him at all. He really pretended that he did not exist and was just like dust.
"It is said that when you were in the human world, you missed the appointment of Padmasambhava, so the Buddhist sect was very dissatisfied with you." Master Yuanfa paused and then said, "When you go to heaven and earth, and come to Xuan
Yin, but getting very close to the demon clan, this is even more taboo."
Back in the human world, Padmasambhava came down to the underworld and wanted to recreate the underworld. Wuxu objected, but he had some basis for it. Padmasambhava didn't seem to blame himself too much. Why were they so angry?
As for being very close to the demon clan. When I first came to Xuanyin, I landed in the land of the demon clan, and then I met the demon clan's heavenly demon. What's wrong with that?
It seemed inexplicable that the estrangement and hostility were so deep. Wu Xu shook his head slightly, smiled bitterly, and said, "Yongzhou is sending an observation group this time and will not participate in all competitions."
Master Yuanfa said in an indifferent tone, "You are confused! If people want to target you, they will naturally have thousands of ways to do it."
"Even if he has thousands of ways, I can do it with ease." Wuxu replied.
"When the time comes, I will label you as someone who must have turned from a Buddha to a demon. What will you do?" Master Yuanfa said again, "You are the first person to destroy the Dharma Realm; and you are the second person to establish a Taoist temple in the Dharma Realm. Just one person. Don’t say that you don’t believe in cause and effect, that you associate with demonic cultivators, or anything like this.”
Wuxu was startled and couldn't answer for a moment. After thinking about it for a while, he slowly said, "The young monk practices alone and goes his own way. There are indeed many things that are misleading. The master is here today and he will definitely give you some advice."
Master Yuanfa looked around, understood, and invited the two of them into a quiet room.
In the quiet room, Master Yuanfa first said, "For this competition, Master Pasiba will also come to Beijing with the delegation."
Master Pasiba! Wuxu couldn’t help but think of what happened back then.
"Master Pasiba, hasn't he always been under house arrest?" Wu Xu asked anxiously.
"Master Pasiba was originally sealed by Padmasambhava himself. Now, Padmasambhava is stationed at the Zhoutian Star Array, and Master Pasiba is entrusted to his disciple, Venerable Liuli, to take care of him. This glass is Venerable, he is the official envoy of this mission to Beijing. According to reliable information, Venerable Liuli will take Master Pasiba with him." Master Yuanfa replied.
Rescue Master Pasiba, this is the first thing.
Wuxu calmed down and said in deep thought, "It is our duty to do this. If the master has any plans, the young monk will give his full cooperation."
Master Yuanfa sighed, "Planning is out of the question, we can only do our best. Venerable Liuli is at the seventh level of the true spirit."
True spirit monks, at a small level, have a huge difference in strength.
Wuxu naturally understands. He is currently only at the second level of True Spirit. Master Yuanfa is only at the fourth level. If he were to face Lord Liuli...
"Fo Zong, I want to suppress your Wuxu again. I discussed with the eldest princess that if I take Shenqian and go to the capital with the Yongzhou envoy, I can adapt to the situation. Firstly, I can help you. Secondly, I can find an opportunity to rescue Master Pasiba." Master Yuanfa said this.
Wuxu nodded, "That's very good."
...
In Tianren Academy, Zhu Yuanzhang, although he is sitting there peacefully, has no time to relax. It is said that he is in his position and seeks his own government. The affairs of this academy are no less than the affairs of the Ming Dynasty in the human world. All the pressures are coming one after another.
In this troubled year, if it had been anyone else, he would have been overwhelmed. But Zhu Yuanzhang, with his back straight, sat there, lifting weights as if they were light.
Those who have been emperors are indeed different. Some people commented like this.
Those who were loyal to the Zhou royal family left voluntarily and entered the palace.
Therefore, everyone in the academy gradually felt at ease and acquiesced in Zhu Yuanzhang's leadership position.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was gathering everyone to discuss the Xuanyin Competition. As he was talking, his expression suddenly changed, he stopped talking and closed his eyes slightly. Everyone suddenly knew that something important was coming, so they waited in solemn silence.
"I am delighted to hear that Junior Brother is in charge of Tianren Academy. It is really gratifying and congratulatory. He also said that Tianren Academy is the academy for all people in the world, which makes us join our hands together. Thanks to Junior Brother for inviting me to this Xuanyin Competition, we are also
I'm very grateful. However, Yongzhou is actually a border town. It is weak and has few talents. We will wait for it.
After much deliberation, we decided to send a group to the capital, only to observe the grand occasion and not participate in the competition. I hope that my junior brother will understand. If there are any irregularities, I also hope that my junior brother will be considerate. Everything is complicated and the journey to Shenjing is far away. I want to come, so I
It will be later. At that time, I will pay you a visit. Seeing a letter is like meeting you in person, and you will understand the truth."
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished reading, he was silent for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes and smiled at everyone, "Yongzhou was invited to send a delegation."
Everyone laughed together, and one of them stepped forward and asked, "Secretary-General, Yongzhou is just a small place, far behind the six sects, why do you value it so much?"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "Although Yongzhou is small, it can lift a thousand catties with four taels. You will know the joints in the future." He pondered for a moment and then said, "The tower in the courtyard
There are still some houses around the forest. Clean them and leave them with the Yongzhou mission."
Talin? The Talin of Tianren Academy is the place where Buddhists practice and practice in the academy. It is generally not open to the public. Occasionally, there are contacts, and it is the Buddhist masters who come. This time, it will be opened for the Yongzhou envoy to stay.
Many people below are puzzled, but Zhu Yuanzhang said beforehand, "You will know the joints in the future." In this way, it is not easy to ask.
Who knows, Zhu Yuanzhang said again, "There are also many Buddhist classics in the academy. Let's sort them out. My senior brother is also coming."
At this time, someone finally couldn't help but asked respectfully, "The six classics stored in the academy are all very precious. There may be something wrong with showing them to others rashly."
Zhu Yuanzhang replied, "Heavenly Academy is an academy for people all over the world. I believe that all the classics in the academy should be open to the public for reading by people all over the world."
As soon as these words came out, it was shocking! Everyone was shocked, the hall was shaken, and the academy was shaken.
The so-called law is not passed down lightly. According to Zhu Yuanzhang, it is simply passed down in vain. These classics are not easy to obtain and difficult to preserve. Why should they be opened up for the world to read? Furthermore, these kinds of classics cannot be read by ordinary people.
Understand, can you cultivate it?
Zhu Yuanzhang said with emotion, "Since Tianren Academy is an academy for the people of the world, why can't the academy's classics be made public to the people of the world? Otherwise, how can the reform be implemented? How can the great prosperity of the human race be realized? How can the academy be self-reliant? How can we be self-reliant?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked four questions in succession, like dragons roaring and thundering, and everyone stood in solemn silence, thoughtful. After a while, a rather mature man straightened his clothes, cleared his throat, stepped out and said, "What the Secretary-General said,
In fact, this is the future avenue of Tianren Academy. We are stupid and have just woken up. But as the director of the library, I have just thought about it and there are still some obstacles. I have to ask the Secretary-General and everyone to make a decision.
"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded at Director Yu, "Yuanzhang, as the Secretary-General, is now just the Prime Minister coordinating all affairs of the academy. Director Yu should have a detailed strategy on how to implement this strategy. Of course, if there is anything
If you have any difficult points, you might as well tell them, and we'll go over them together."
The old director bowed again to Zhu Yuanzhang and those around him, "Since the establishment of the academy, a library has been set up to collect classics from all over the world for the academy's own use. As the collection of classics increases day by day, good and evil are mixed.
There are also a series of regulations, some of which are not disclosed to others, some of which require a waistband warrant, and various strict protection measures."
When he said this, everyone present had a rough understanding of what he was referring to. Zhu Yuanzhang was no exception, but he seemed to have expected it. He raised his hand and waved, "The Academy of Heaven and Earth is a collection of books open to all human beings."
. Demon cultivators, ghost cultivators, and even most of the demon cultivators' classics are naturally not included in this list. Books involving the true spirit level must have corresponding cultivation levels, and they must have a Taoist heart and swear an oath not to reveal even a single bit."
Zhu Yuanzhang said this, and the old director Yu nodded repeatedly, and finally asked, "If the library of Tianren Academy is open to all races, will there be restrictions on age and qualifications? If so, should the library open a separate exit?
, otherwise I’m afraid it might disturb other things in the academy.”
"Anyone who is willing to come to study, regardless of age or qualifications, should be treated equally and accepted happily. The library can make a few copies of some commonly used classics, and then send people to set up a guard at the small door to the left of the main entrance of the academy. If anyone comes to ask for help,
When reading, first ask for the title of the book. If there is a copy, give it directly. If there is no copy, bring it in again." After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he stood up and said, "For other details, please ask Director Yu to lead his subordinates to plan it.
Just perfect it step by step.”
At this time, a person hurriedly came outside the hall and said in a deep voice, "Report to the Secretary-General that there are more than ten disciples playing in Dongcheng and were captured by Dongcheng General Ji Changying. The Secretary-General is required to go and pick them up personally."
Ever since Tianren Academy became independent and had a clear relationship with Dazhou, this is not the first, second or third time such a thing has happened.
Tianren Academy has been an annex, or back garden, of the Imperial Palace of the Zhou Dynasty since ancient times. Now, in the Imperial Palace of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang openly went out independently in front of the six sects, no less than the six sects occupied its territory.
It doesn't matter that the Zhou royal family has gone to heaven. They may have already expected that they would give up their inheritance below in exchange for the so-called "Heavenly Court" position in heaven. But those who stayed behind didn't think so.
Of course, because the capital is the hub of the national defense formation and the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is in the capital, it has an absolute advantage. But if we want to take down all the Tianren Academy where there are several true spirits, the formation in the capital will damage the foundation.
There is no comprehensive strategy to deal with the six sects. Therefore, the Zhou royal family has a rather ambivalent attitude towards Tianren Academy. This is also an important reason why Tianren Academy can become independent.
But if it can't be killed, it must be suppressed.
Especially the old dean who was expelled and had no face to return to the new dean. He returned to the Imperial Palace of the Zhou Dynasty and incited and instigated the royal family day and night to suppress the Tianren Academy. And the Dongcheng city guard general Ji Changying was a relative of his
.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked sternly, "Why does Ji Changying want to take someone from my academy this time?!"
The man outside the palace hurriedly replied, "He said he was using wine to cause trouble and forced the maid to sleep with him."
In the main hall, everyone was in an uproar and angry.
Now all the dirty tricks were used!
Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, but looked quietly outside the hall. The talented man immediately lowered his head, as if standing on a brazier.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand and immediately shouted angrily, "How can there be such a disciple in our Tianren Academy? Go and tell Ji Changying that the academy has expelled such unscrupulous disciples, and he will do whatever he wants according to human feelings and national laws!"
Seeing that the people outside the palace were hesitant, with a clang, Zhu Yuanzhang drew his sword and waved it, pointing the tip of the sword at a distance, "Go!"
