Chapter 270 Righteousness and Evil Only in One Thought
Nanyuan Realm.
Zhuang Ming faced the east, performed the Gathering Holy Mountain technique, breathed in and out, and circulated the true energy.
The dragon in the dantian is also running the picture of the Dongting of the Return of Ten Thousand Paths.
The human body and the dragon body complement each other and improve together.
After a while, he took a deep breath.
The body of a dragon grows extremely fast.
When the real dragon breaks out of its shell, the young dragon is a hundred feet tall.
Now he is only ninety-three feet tall. He uses a human body as a shell to warm and raise the dragon, just like a young dragon inside a dragon egg.
After one hundred feet, it may be more difficult to grow, but at least before one hundred feet, the growth rate is quite rapid.
And after a hundred feet, you can still use this method to continue practicing.
Just like the previous Dragon Lord, he cultivated to a thousand feet within the dragon egg.
Once it broke out of its shell and was born into the world, the young dragon was already thousands of feet tall and almost invincible. However, it had no choice but to be attacked by the practitioners in the world and was outnumbered, so it was defeated.
"A hundred feet is not far away, but the more it grows, the more refined it becomes. The progress is already slow. When will we have a true dragon body that is over a thousand feet?"
Zhuang Ming thought like this, flicked his fingers, and the light flickered.
But at this moment, he heard the noise again and turned away the light.
The visitor is Wang Zhen.
——
"Sir, we found it."
"Oh?" Zhuang Ming raised his eyebrows.
"I checked Yuan Shen's identity, but I can't confirm whether it's him..." Wang Zhen said hesitantly.
"Yuan Shen's name should be true. He is just a Dao Seal, not a golden elixir. If he lies and his name is false, his energy and spirit will fluctuate, and he will not be able to hide it from me." Zhuang Ming said thoughtfully.
"If he reported his real name, then we should have verified his identity." Wang Zhen said in a low voice.
"What's your identity?" Zhuang Ming asked.
"As the young master expected, this Yuan Shen is indeed no ordinary person." Wang Zhen said seriously: "At the end of last winter, in the capital of the Chu Kingdom, there was an official of the fourth rank who was dismissed from his post because he offended the Emperor of Chu. This person was named
Yuan Shen."
"A fourth-grade official?" Zhuang Ming pondered for a moment and thought about it.
"According to investigation... Mr. Yuan, a fourth-grade official, is also from the Nanyuan realm." Wang Zhen said: "He was born in the Nanyuan realm. He was very talented at a young age. He was a child prodigy since he was a child. He was admitted to a school.
After that, he went through schools in various places, promoted one level after another, and gradually learned more and more. With his outstanding talents, he was promoted to the Bachelor's Office in the King's City of Chu. Later, he was transferred to the Ministry of War, was promoted to the fourth rank, and served as a civil servant."
"The Ministry of War?" Zhuang Ming pondered: "This person is quite familiar with military formations, but he doesn't have much intention of bloody killing. He doesn't look like a general who leads troops in the army. He turns out to be a scholar from the Ministry of War within the royal city?"
"If this name is true, it should be him." Wang Zhen said.
"Why did he offend Emperor Chu?" Zhuang Ming asked aloud.
"It is said that there are some dirty and dark things within the Ministry of War, involving the Ministry of Punishment's bending the law for personal gain, and the implication is very wide." Wang Zhen said this, and then whispered: "But the specific matter is not something that our firm can find out at the moment.
That’s it.”
"Oh? He was involved in the matter of favoritism and bending the law?" Zhuang Ming asked.
"No..." Wang Zhen whispered: "He reported the matter to the superiors."
"What?" Zhuang Ming said in surprise.
"According to rumors, this person originally reported the matter and had merit. Emperor Chu personally rewarded him with a treasure and was promoted to a third-rank official."
"Since it is a meritorious service, how come something unexpected happened?"
"Because the involvement is too wide, the law does not punish everyone, and the Emperor of Chu only punishes the first culprit." Wang Zhen said in a low voice.
"Is he dissatisfied?" Zhuang Ming asked.
"According to rumors, Yuan Shen was jealous of evil. Seeing that the Emperor of Chu did not enforce the law according to the law, he reported it three times, which angered the Emperor of Chu. In the end, the treasure was taken back, and he was demoted from the official position before he was given the official seal of the third rank." Wang Zhen
said.
"Hate evil as much as hatred?" Zhuang Ming looked a little strange.
"This is exactly what the villain thinks is wrong."
Wang Zhen said in a low voice: "It is rumored that Mr. Yuan Shen hates evil as much as he hates his enemies. He would rather bend than bend. Even if he was demoted from his official position, he would never surrender to Emperor Chu. How could such an upright person entangle with common bandits and form an army to rob him?"
kill?"
Yuan Shen led the crowd to first rob and kill the ancestor of the Zhou family, and then to rob and kill the old ape who looked at the sacred mountain.
There may be a reason for this, but Yuan Shen didn't want to tell him.
But because the three of them were approaching Wangshen Mountain, they sent people to silence them.
Such a person has the intention to kill innocent people indiscriminately. How can he be the Lord Yuan Shen who hates evil so much and is so upright that he is still unwilling to bow his head even when he is demoted to a commoner and sticks to his true heart?
"Perhaps the rumor is wrong?" Wang Zhen hesitated and said: "Or... check it again? The territory of Dachu is vast, and the Nanyuan realm is also extremely vast. There are countless people with the same name..."
"It should be him." Zhuang Ming said calmly: "The military formation he gave is not inferior to the combined attack formation of the Zuo Banner Army. It is a secret military formation of Da Chu and cannot be learned by ordinary people. But now
It seems that this person has learned a lot of military formations..."
"But……"
"People will change." Zhuang Ming said calmly: "It is rare for a practitioner to maintain his true nature. Except for those who have been unable to retreat from the beginning of practice, who can always maintain an innocent heart?"
"Young Master is right."
Wang Zhen nodded thoughtfully.
Yuan Shen entered the academy at an early age and received support and instruction from the Chu Dynasty. He rose through the ranks until he reached the royal city. He could be said to have risen through the ranks without any setbacks.
This man had an upright heart, and perhaps he was also selfless at the time, determined to be an upright and honest official.
But now he was demoted by Emperor Chu himself and became a commoner.
Yuan Shen, who fell from a high position, must have never been frustrated. He struggled in the mundane world and faced the ridicule, ridicule and even sympathy from his old friends, which inevitably affected his character.
"Not every corrupt official, when he was first preparing to become an official, wanted to collect people's wealth and put it into his private treasury. It was just that the situation in the officialdom gradually changed them."
Zhuang Ming said calmly: "Yuan Shen has not changed in the officialdom, but in the mortal world, he must change his way of living."
Perhaps some people still believe that this is an upright official who would rather bend than bend, and is enough to be praised through the ages.
But people always change.
Perhaps when he first resigned, he was not even afraid of death.
Perhaps if he died at that time, he would really be recorded in the records of the historians of Chu.
But now...he has still changed.
"I have said before that you cannot rely on the integrity of a thief. His eyes are dim and he is quite self-deprecating. He must still have a conscience."
Zhuang Ming said slowly: "Perhaps in a year and a half, he will be a truly ruthless and ruthless person who kills people like crazy, but he is not there yet. It should be a little easier to subdue him."
Wang Zhen whispered: "Although this person is a commoner now, he was an official in the past. Do you really want to recruit him?"
Zhuang Ming said: "Not to mention the various military formations he knows, he himself can go from a commoner to the royal city through an academy, and be transferred to the fourth rank officer of the Ministry of War. This shows that he has good talent and learning. Zhuang's business is at the right time to employ people.
Really, why don’t you use it?”
Wang Zhen frowned and said hesitantly: "But..."
Zhuang Ming waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. Before I left, I left a mark on him. He can't escape... The reason why I let him go first was just to let him gather those subordinates and collect them all."
That’s all.”
Wang Zhen paused for a moment and asked: "Master, have you already calculated how to surrender to him? Do you need a villain to prepare anything?"
Zhuang Ming put his hands behind his back and said, "No need, he desires power now."
The now down-and-out Yuan Shen, after several months of hard work, is no longer the Yuan Shen who was as high-spirited as before.
If he can be recommended by someone and return to the court, he will definitely burst into tears.
And Zhuang Ming does not need him to join the court.
Zhuang Ming can let him know that with his Zhuang's Trading Company, Yuan Shen can also show his ambition.
