In the Heavens

After dismissing the uninvited guests, Li Mu asked the guards he recruited: "Apart from the one from Tianxianglou, what unusual things have happened in Dingyuan County recently?"

An intelligence system cannot be established overnight. As far as the people Li Mu recruited, it was okay to inquire about some high-end goods on the market, but trying to investigate the traces of the magic gate was simply courting death.

In order not to get burned, Li Mu also had to adopt a devious strategy, starting with information from other sources.

"Half a month ago, Young Master Feiyun from Jingtao Sect and people from Xuefengzhai clashed in Lingshangzhai, and was finally stopped by a mysterious man who seemed to be a great Confucian.

In the past few days, there have been a sudden increase in the three religions and nine streams in Dingyuan City. It seems that they are looking for the treasure of Dragon City and the sword of benevolence and righteousness. "

"Dragon City Treasure—Sword of Benevolence and Righteousness", the name seems to be prepared for the protagonist. It's just that Li Mu is also interested now.

Leaving aside the sword of benevolence and righteousness, Li Mu's name is not his style. The legendary Wen Dao treasure is useless even if it is given to Li Mu.

The key to the great charm of Dragon City's treasures is that Master Longcheng was a Jindan martial arts monk before his life.

It would be of great help to Li Mu if he could get some information about the Golden Core Realm. Even if you don't practice, just refer to it and save a lot of time to explore.

It's a pity that there are too many people peeping at such a treasure. At the last moment, it is not surprising even if there is a master of heaven and man to make a move.

It is too dangerous to participate with Li Mu's current cultivation base. However, since it appeared in Dingyuan County, there is no reason why the Hou's Mansion, as a local snake, should not join hands.

Li Mu doesn't know how deep the background of the Hou Mansion is, anyway, there must be heavenly warriors. In addition to that Dingyuan army, they are definitely not weak on their own territory.

It's a pity that Li Mu is too young to participate in such a big event. Even his cheap father, how much right to speak in it is unknown.

After contemplating for a while, Li Mu said helplessly: "As for the treasure, we shouldn't get involved, lest we risk our lives in vain.

Keep an eye on Lao Jiu's whereabouts, but don't take it too seriously. If there is anything unusual, report to me immediately. "

If you can't grab it by force, you can only play a roundabout strategy. It's safer to get something from your own cheap ninth brother than to fight with a bunch of big forces.

Of course, the prerequisite is that someone will deliver the treasure to him, otherwise it will be a waste of effort.

After arranging things, Li Mu immediately entered the state of retreat. After coming to this world for so long, he has never been so eager to improve his cultivation.

If he had recovered to his peak state, no matter what he said, he would be the mastermind for a while. Now, it's better to have a little bit of salted fish.

...

Tianxiang Building

The much-anticipated Miss Xiangjun was staring at her subordinates with a livid face. If looks could kill, these people would all be reduced to ashes.

"Who spread the news?"

There are strict rules in the Demon Sect, and when faced with a murderous question from a saint, everyone wants to bury their heads in the ground, so as not to be affected by Chiyu.

Deep down in their hearts, everyone scolded the guy who leaked the news half to death. If you cheat your teammates like this, it will really kill you.

The Devil's Gate is not a place to talk about evidence, as long as the big shots think that they may betray, it is: it is better to kill a thousand wrong people than to let one person go.

Perhaps because he couldn't stand the holy woman's murderous gaze, the old bustard said bravely, "Holy lady, the news may not have leaked from us.

There have always been rumors of the Dragon City treasure in Dingyuan County, but no one has found it for thousands of years. As for the sword of benevolence and righteousness, most of the rumors came out because of the appearance of a great Confucianism.

Maybe it's just a local local snake who sensed the anomaly and deliberately released a message to try to tempt us.

If someone really leaked the news, it is too late to hide the information, how could it be possible to expose the matter? "

After hearing this explanation, the angry saint's face softened slightly. When it comes to huge treasure treasures, no one will refuse to take it all.

Although the Demon Sect is powerful, it can't scare these local snakes. After so many years of development, none of the forces that can survive is simple.

Even if you can't do it yourself, you can call your friends. Probing is only done when there is uncertainty.

But this time it was different, he was directly hit by someone else. Except for the "Human Devil Sword", which is said to be the "Sword of Benevolence and Righteousness", basically the rumors are the truth.

Thinking of this, the saint secretly regretted it. If she had known this would happen, she would not have practiced her mind here in the world of mortals.

If you don't come out to do things in the name of Miss Xiangjun, you won't attract the attention of local forces, and the news of the treasure will not spread to everyone.

Although to the Bliss Demon Sect, the golden dan Wuxiu's cave is nothing, but the "Human Devil Sword" old immortals are very worried about it.

If no magic sword is born, then everything is easy to say. But once the Human Demon Sword was born and snatched away by others, she wouldn't be able to bear it all.

Thinking of the punishment within the Demon Sect, she felt like falling into an abyss. If it really falls to that point, it's hard to die.

"snort!"

After a cold drink, the saint in yellow said indifferently: "It would be best if there were no traitors. The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say more.

In short, this task must be completed no matter what. That’s all for the Golden Core Cave Mansion, if the Human Demon Sword is lost, all of you are waiting to go to the Soul Refining Platform!

Act in advance, let our people start the blood sacrifice immediately. Prepare the carriages and horses, I'm going to Dingyuanhou's Mansion to discuss business with these gangsters. "

It is obviously not a good choice to start action before you are ready.

However, compared with the gathering of more and more forces from all parties, it is obvious that the probability of success in taking action in advance is higher.

Otherwise, when the major forces gather, with the reputation of everyone shouting and beating, I am afraid that they will be besieged as soon as they show up at that time.

...

In the early morning, Wenjun Academy, a hundred miles away from Dingyuan City.

The sound of Lang Lang's reading sounded again, and the master in charge was supporting an old man for a walk in the academy. If anyone familiar with this scene sees this scene, they will definitely be shocked.

The old man was a mysterious great Confucian who appeared in the city that day. When did Wenjun Academy get involved with a great Confucian?

If this news gets out, the power structure of the entire Dingyuan County will change. The unknown Wenjun Academy will leap up and become one of the big forces in Dingyuan County.

The role of the strong is so powerful. In this extraordinary world where the mighty power belongs to oneself, one person can determine the rise and fall of a family.

"Sir, do you think the news is true? Is the legendary sword of benevolence and righteousness, which can give full play to my literary and moral strength without using national luck, really about to be born?"

The old man shook his head, and said earnestly, "Wen Yuan, what do you think can be changed in today's world, even if the sword of benevolence and righteousness is born?"

change what?

This is the common pain of all readers.

Seeing that the road to longevity is in front of you, but you don't have your own share, this kind of blow is not acceptable to everyone.

Countless scholars have a common desire to change the world. It is not to overthrow Da Zhou, but to break the monopoly of immortality and martial arts on longevity, and create a prosperous era of literature and Taoism.

Everyone believes that once the literary prosperity comes. The road to eternal life must have their share.

In ancient times, there was no way of longevity, and the emergence of Taoists created the first prosperous age of sects, and the way of immortality and longevity appeared in the world.

Immediately after the Middle Ages, Taoist cultivators went against the grain, enslaved all people, and made the people of the world miserable. Martial arts came out again, ushering in the age of empires.

After dozens of dynasties, when the martial arts were established in the Great Zhou Dynasty and reached its peak, the immortal sects were forced to flee overseas.

Whether it is the way of immortality or martial arts, it is to change the world and establish a great era of its own, and then it is recognized by the world and has the qualification to pursue longevity.

Ready-made examples are in front of you. A self-proclaimed scholar is naturally unwilling to remain a vassal and become a marginal spectator.

But the problem is that compared with Immortal Dao and Martial Dao, Wen Dao is inherently insufficient in strength. Even if you are a great Confucian, you must rely on the fortune of the country to exert your greatest strength.

The "Sword of Benevolence and Righteousness" was an attempt made ten thousand years ago by dozens of Confucian scholars who were unwilling to turn into a pile of bones.

This Excalibur succeeded and failed.

It can indeed free the literati from the influence of the fate of the country, but unfortunately it still cannot bring the longevity that everyone wants.

Because of power disputes, after a court battle failed eight thousand years ago, the sword disappeared.

"Sir, a sword of benevolence and righteousness can't change anything. But if there are thousands of swords of benevolence and righteousness, then everything can be changed.

Perhaps the disciples are a little overwhelmed, but at this time, we have no choice.

Since the proposal to cut the vassal failed, we have been frantically suppressed by the Xungui Group, and even the few places for Jinshi have been reduced.

There are even Jinshi ten years ago, who have not been conferred until now, just because the position has been filled.

A few days ago, the Xungui Group also joined forces with the clan to propose in the court that the number of Scholars: the sum of the Xungui's children and the clan's children should not be less than half.

If you and the elders of the pavilion hadn't tried their best to stop it, I'm afraid my family of literati would disappear in a short time, and there would be no books of sages in the world.

For this reason, you were forced to abandon your official position and come here to avoid disaster..."

Before the Headmaster finished speaking, the old man interrupted: "Wrong, it's not for the inheritance of my family of literati, but for the common people of the world.

You shouldn't have made such a mistake. Once it was spread out, it would be another big disturbance.

As for the fact that the court battles are not rushed for a while, it seems that the noble group and the clan are jointly controlling the government. Isn't this what we did on purpose?

If we don't give them a chance to perform, how can we let the emperor know our importance?

Just wait, it won't be long before the emperor can't bear it anymore and fully supports us to return to court. "

When it comes to power struggles, the civil service group is the only professional. If it weren't for the extraordinary world, they would have controlled the government long ago.
