Chapter 332 The trump card of martial arts versus the world of cultivation appears

Gu Zhan's voice was emotionless and very calm, but when he opened his mouth, his words were like thunder, rumbling, the heaven and the earth resonating, ringing in the ears of several people, and an inexplicable majesty descended on them.

that moment,

Kong Xi, Chang Mingzi, and Xuanyangzi, the three middle-level golden elixir monks who had always behaved very calmly, all had their hearts beat faster. They subconsciously took a few steps back, bending their bodies slightly in a posture of worship. When they raised their heads again,

Gu Zhan was still the same Gu Zhan, but they inexplicably saw another figure. It was a majestic figure that seemed to be independent from heaven and earth. It was filled with imperial aura and overwhelming aura, all concentrated in one Gu Zhan.

His body showed the majesty of a human emperor, which made several people tremble in shock.

Kong Xi, who had been answering calmly, suddenly felt panic in his heart, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead uncontrollably. He bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the destiny of this world... the destiny. The ordinary people are of low cultivation and cannot see through the destiny. They can only make bold guesses.

The destiny of this life lies in martial arts!"

"Yes, yes," Mingzi, the old Taoist priest standing next to Kong Xi, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said hurriedly: "It must be martial arts. Under the leadership of Your Majesty, martial arts in this world will definitely be able to surpass the four major side sects.

, compare the three major ancestral lines, eternal glory!"

Xuanyangzi also bowed and said: "Your Majesty is the only one in the world, and the destiny of heaven must be tied to your Majesty!"

A smile appeared on Gu Zhan's face,

that moment,

Kong Xi and others felt that the terrifying pressure on their bodies suddenly disappeared, and they all felt a sense of relief.

"How is the world of cultivation distributed?" Gu Zhan asked.

Kong Xi hurriedly replied: "There is no specific division. The three major ancestral lines and the four major side sects are all transcendent. Most sects in the world cannot be separated from these seven sects. However, there are many cultivation sects, and it is difficult to determine the strength and weakness. In the Age of Ending Dharma, there are many

After thousands of years, it is even more difficult to judge. I am afraid that we can only know the specific situation when the spiritual energy is completely revived and all the barriers are opened."

Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You mean, some of the barriers are very big?"

Kong Xi nodded and said: "When the Age of Ending Dharma came, many powerful monks used their great power to forcibly incorporate many mountains and rivers into the barrier. For example, there are some powerful branches in our Confucian sect, and the barrier they jointly created is comparable to

In the land of one state, when these barriers are opened, the territory of the human world will probably expand several times!"

Gu Zhan said slowly: "When can we fully recover?"

Kong Xi pondered for a while and said: "The original budget was for ten years, but now the recovery speed of spiritual energy is far faster than expected. I am afraid that it will be fully realized in three to five years!"

Gu Zhan nodded slightly and asked: "How strong are your respective immortal sects in the world of cultivation?"

Kong Xi smiled helplessly and said: "Before the Age of Dharma, there were three thousand schools in the Confucian sect. The school I was in was considered a third-rate school. Changmingzi and Xuanyangzi's Wenxian Dao was also a third-rate school in the Taoist school.

Branch."

Gu Zhan asked: "In that case, how could you appear in the world and establish the Kong family before the spiritual energy was revived?"

Kong Xi replied: "The barrier I am in was originally established by dozens of similar schools. With some support from the ancestral areas of some Confucian schools, it was only over 1,500 years ago that the barrier was established."

I sent it out some time in advance.

The establishment of the Kong family was purely accidental. I was not the only one who came out with me at that time. The main purpose was to understand the development and changes in the human world. In fact, during the thousands of years since the end of the Dharma, all immortal sects with sufficient strength have sent some people here every once in a while.

Understand the changes in the human world in real time.

The reason why I founded the Kong family is just because the idea of ​​​​my lineage is to assist the king, so I briefly tried it. I didn't expect it to last for 1,500 years. After all, I was in the enchantment.

It’s only been less than a hundred years.”

Gu Zhan looked at Chang Mingzi again and asked, "Where is the Dao Sect?"

"Your Majesty, it's the same," Chang Mingzi said: "Our Taoist sect has been on earth for tens of thousands of years, and the barrier has only passed for decades to hundreds of thousands of years. If conditions permit, arrangements will be made at regular intervals.

Some people appeared in the world, but because it was the Age of Ending Dharma, they did not make any big moves. That is to say, after martial arts appeared in the world three thousand years ago, some Taoist traditions were established one after another.

In this regard, Buddhism is the one who has the most interference in the human world and has established many martial arts holy places. Guangming Temple and Cihang Sword Studio, which were scared away by Your Majesty before the revival of spiritual energy, were arranged by Buddhism in the human world."

After hearing this, Gu Zhan nodded slightly, looked at the three of them, and said no more.

Gu Zhan's silence made Kong Xi and the others a little uneasy.

Before they came, they never expected that such a situation would occur. It was completely different from what a few people imagined. In their imagination, the meeting with Gu Zhan should be equal, but as a result, after the meeting, everyone

The rhythm was disrupted, and they seemed to have truly become subjects under Gu Zhan's command. They had no autonomy at all in front of Gu Zhan.

Finally, after a while of silence, Gu Zhan spoke and said slowly: "You three came to see me today. What do you want?"

The hearts of Kong Xi and others were once again in suspense.

Kong Xi hurriedly replied: "I dare not ask your Majesty for it. I just want to know if there is any place where we can relieve your Majesty's worries."

"Yes, yes, yes," Chang Mingzi said in agreement: "Your Majesty said that the whole world is not the land of the King. Since we are in the Wu Kingdom, we are your Majesty's subjects. Everything must be obeyed by your Majesty!"

Gu Zhan smiled slightly,

Not many people are so knowledgeable.

He thought for a while and said: "The Kingdom of Wu is about to be founded, and it is indeed the time to hire people. Kong Xi, you are a literary saint and a leader in the literary world. You will serve as the minister of wine in the Imperial Academy, and be in charge of the laws and teaching of the Imperial Academy. You will be the eldest son of Ming Dynasty."

, Xuanyangzi, you two will serve as the chief and deputy chief of the Qintian Supervisor of Kyoto, inspecting Kyoto and in charge of offering sacrifices to the state!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift!"

Several people hurriedly bowed and bowed.

Gu Zhan looked at a few more people, and then asked: "Kong Qing, according to your calculation, what will the world become like?"

Kong Xi was stunned for a moment and asked: "Is your Majesty asking about the general situation?"

Gu Zhan nodded slightly.

Kong Xi pondered for a while and replied: "The world of cultivation will definitely restore the pattern before the end of the Dharma era. The cultivation sects will control the secular power, use city-states as the pattern of the world, and be independent and self-governing!

However, His Majesty, as never before, will definitely be able to break this rule and establish a unified human dynasty for the whole world!"

Gu Zhan chuckled lightly,

He understood what Kong Xi meant. After the spiritual energy was revived, the Immortal Sect would definitely control the human world and then divide the world into its own. If his Martial Kingdom could avoid this fate, it would depend on whether he, the Martial Emperor, could become a giant in the world of cultivation.

.

"Since you have joined our Wu Dynasty, you will be our ministers. Now that Kyoto has become a pool of muddy water and there is a shortage of people, please help us handle this enthronement ceremony and handle it together!"

"Obey!" "Obey!"

Kong Xi and others hurriedly bowed.

Gu Zhan waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing else to do, just step back!"

"I'll take my leave."

Several people walked out of the hall respectfully, all in silence, until they walked outside the imperial city. Chang Mingzi breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to touch his back, and felt the sweat on his hands. He said softly: "I

Now I understand why there is a saying in the world: "A companion to a king is like a companion to a tiger. I was more frightened when I met the Emperor Wu once than I have been in my life for more than two hundred years!"

Xuanyangzi's face turned pale and he said faintly: "Brother, please stop talking. We will see His Majesty often in the future. Today is just the beginning!"

Chang Mingzi looked helpless.

Kong Xi chuckled and said: "I think it's okay, quite gentle, but you two have such a bad mentality!"

Xuanyangzi and Changmingzi looked at Kong Xi's legs with disdain and said, "Mr. Kong, when you say this, can you stop shaking your thighs?"

Kong Xi twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "My legs are cold. It's just like this when the weather gets cold. It's normal."

Chang Mingzi rolled his eyes, with a sad face, and said slowly: "Mr. Kong, this is different from what you said before. What you said before was that His Majesty Emperor Wu was a polite and virtuous corporal. We communicated on an equal footing, and then we made demands to Emperor Wu.

As we were talking, not only did we not ask for anything, but we also involved ourselves. What I wanted was for Emperor Wu to give me a piece of land and help me build a Taoist temple. I didn’t want to be an official. This has nothing to do with me.

It is against the Taoist discipline to enter the world and practice in this mortal world!"

Kong Xi said speechlessly: "You still want to make a request, do you dare? Just say you dare? However, it is not impossible to deal with it."

"How do you say that?" Chang Mingzi asked hurriedly.

Kong Xi said: "Be lazy, treat this official position as a sinecure, and do whatever you need to do. Don't worry, officialdom is like this. If you are lazy, Emperor Wu will naturally not arrange too many things for you.

Anyway, Emperor Wu made us officials just to win over people's hearts. You don't need to take it too seriously. Don't worry, Emperor Wu is a sensible person. We are from three major ancestral lines. We just have this status. Even if Emperor Wu feels uncomfortable, in order to gain a foothold, we will do it.

In order to show the world of cultivation, he will endure it."

"It makes sense!" Changmingzi sighed: "Thank you, Mr. Kong, for your advice. From now on, I will just follow the rules and meet Emperor Wu less often."

"Um."

Kong Xi nodded, turned around and left.

Chang Mingzi and Xuanyangzi left in the other direction.

Just after they passed the corner, Chang Mingzi suddenly grabbed Xuanyangzi and whispered: "Junior brother, quickly, take out all the good things in your hand, we will go and give them to His Majesty Emperor Wu right away."

"Ah?" Xuanyangzi said in surprise: "Senior brother, didn't you just tell Mr. Kong that you would defy Emperor Wu?"

"Shit," Chang Mingzi said with bright little eyes, "Are you stupid? Haven't you just seen what kind of person Emperor Wu is? He has the kind of self-centered character, no matter where he ends up in the future.

Which step, but at least, when we are his subordinates now, we dare to go against him in both ways, is it because our life is too long? Just please honestly, this is the long-term way.

In addition, although a person like Emperor Wu is domineering, it also means that he is a generous person. As long as we are honest and obedient under him, he will definitely not treat us badly. Now that the Wu Dynasty has just been established, Emperor Wu has not enough background. It is a good time for us to please him.

If he is really angry, we will have no chance to please him!"
