Chapter 281: Lakeside Academy Case
Suddenly, something strange happened.
A small golden seal fell from the sky.
This golden seal is only a few inches in size, with a Qiuniu-shaped button and four characters "Ning Wang Jin Yin" engraved on it.
In front of the two giant beasts that were hundreds of feet tall, this small seal seemed insignificant, but when it fell on the fiery white dragon that was condensed with great righteousness, the dragon immediately let out a wail, and its solid body began to disperse, as if it was about to turn into light again.
Compared with the dragon that was filled with righteous energy, Yao Qin, the dean of Huxin Academy and a third-rank scholar, suffered a more serious blow.
At this moment, his spirit was integrated with the world of the Lakeside Academy. He saw a towering golden seal falling. This golden seal was vast and boundless, blocking his way of using the country's destiny to divide the ancestral qi of heaven and earth.
Success or failure depends on national destiny.
When Zhou Tieyi wanted to use the chessboard left by Che Wenyuan, his first thought was the method of "using the monarch to control the ministers". Although Zhou Tieyi did not understand the specific principles at that time, everyone in the world knew that Confucianism was the most dependent method of practice on the dynasty. The biggest reason why monarchs of all dynasties were confident in Confucianism to control the government was that there was no new monarch, and the power of the monarch was the most restraining to Confucianism.
And in today's battle, Zhou Tieyi found out the specific reason.
Confucianism used the national destiny to divide the ancestral qi of heaven and earth, forming a "rule" that was beneficial to itself. Within the scope of its own rule, they could not only safely call upon the ancestral qi of heaven and earth, but also ignore the casting distance. Even in the battles of the upper three ranks, it could be said that they had an absolute advantage.
But the biggest prerequisite is national destiny.
However, the Confucian "national destiny" is borrowed, and the real ruler of national destiny is the Daxia royal family.
King Ning.
As the eldest son of Taizu of Daxia, although the throne has been passed down for three generations, he is also the real master of Daxia. The scope of Prince Ning's fiefdom just covers the Lakeside Academy, which can naturally block Yao Qin from borrowing the national fortune of Daxia.
Without the support of national destiny, the bright candlelight in Yao Qin's eyes began to shake violently. Wave after wave of ancestral energy of heaven and earth washed over his spirit, requiring him to expend more energy to drive the power of heaven and earth.
"Cui Yu, take them away first!"
Yao Qin's voice suddenly appeared in Cui Yu's mind, and a powerful force descended. Cui Yu and others felt as if they were compressed, forming a thin piece of "drawing paper". The surrounding scenery also turned into poured paint in their eyes. Without the weight of matter, Cui Yu and others could be moved thousands of miles away in an instant.
This is the painter's method of transfer!
The reason why Confucianism is so powerful, in addition to its own righteous spirit, is that its seven levels of "self-cultivation" can be practiced in a variety of ways.
Yao Qin has been immersed in painting for many years, and his own painting skills are equivalent to the peak of the fourth-grade "Ink Realm". He can use the method of ink and wash to temporarily compress a person into a painting, and then use another piece of drawing paper to appear, completing the method of space transfer. This is the fourth-grade "Ink Realm" of a painter.
"It's not that easy to leave."
A light laugh was heard, and longitude and latitude lines were woven together with the help of the world inside and outside the Lakeside Academy divided by Yao Qin, which redefined the "framework" for Cui Yu and his companions, restricting them to the Lakeside Academy and preventing them from moving away.
"The strategists! A bunch of people who bring chaos to the government!"
Yao Qin cursed.
However, he was now attacked from all sides, almost equivalent to facing three third-rank cultivators. One of them, Prince Ning, had specially restrained his cultivation method, so that this great scholar was stretched to the limit for a while.
The strategists in Prince Ning's mansion not only restricted Cui Yu and his companions from escaping, but also defined the boundaries within the Lakeside Academy.
The reason why they let the giant mountain ape attack first was because they expected Yao Qin to use all his strength and wanted to quickly deal with the giant mountain ape. If Yao Qin used all his strength, he would inevitably have to divide the boundaries between the inside and outside of the Lake Heart Academy so as to make use of the power within the world of the Lake Heart Academy.
And this is exactly what the strategists want.
Gu Yingtian paid no attention to Yao Qin's scolding. Instead, he smiled and said, "How can a person who confines himself to a prison on the ground rule the world?"
Now that the longitude and latitude have been rewoven, no matter how fierce the fighting is inside the Lakeside Academy, it will be difficult for the Confucians outside to react in the first time. By the time they react, the dust has already settled here.
Under the interference of the vertical and horizontal lines, Li Jianhu suddenly felt that his whole body was "twisted". Although he was protected by Yao Qin's painting power and was not torn apart immediately, this feeling was like being stuffed into a vortex and he couldn't tell the north from the south.
So Li Jianhu could only shout in his heart, "Mr. Panda, help me!"
Thousands of miles away, Zhou Tieyi also clearly felt that the image of the Lakeside Academy that he saw through Li Jianhu was distorted, as if a signal jammer was working.
The Confucian righteousness did not interfere with himself when he used it, because the connection between him and Li Jianhu itself utilized the Confucian righteousness. Li Jianhu was also one of the anchor points for Yao Qin to divide the inside and outside of Huxin Academy.
And now another force is using the righteous energy to separate the inside and the outside, especially it is strongest on Li Jianhu, so the possibility of the other party discovering his connection with Li Jianhu is also rapidly increasing. Even when he completely blocks the inside and the outside, he still wants to use the power of Li Jianhu, he will definitely be found by the other party.
Zhou Tieyi made a prompt decision.
He held up a finger, "Reward good deeds."
Luck began to gather.
This force is invisible yet powerful.
From the God-Slaying Division in Xuanwu Lake to the Railway Chamber of Commerce in Suzaku City, from the distant wild world to Yujing Mountain in Daxia, under the influence of the divine power of [Observing Evil and Reporting Good], wisps of invisible luck gathered through the destinies of millions of people influenced by Zhou Tieyi, and a bright purple-blue light bloomed at his fingertips.
Zhou Tieyi pointed to the novel "Sword Opens a New World" which symbolizes Li Jianhu.
【Chapter 3】
The Lakeside Academy was in danger, but they managed to turn danger into safety and escape!
Li Jianhu's ever-changing luck was stimulated by Zhou Tieyi's blue-purple luck. The color was no longer unpredictable, and in an instant it turned into blue-purple luck that lasted for a day.
After doing all this, Zhou Tieyi took the initiative to cut off contact with Li Jianhu.
Although they were ambushed by Prince Ning, the Confucians must have a backup plan that has not been revealed. In this kind of battle between the three ranks, he cannot just attack directly like he did last time, as the risk of being exposed is too high. For example, with those crisscrossing 'longitude and latitude lines' just now, the other party would be able to detect Li Jianhu's connection with the outside world.
It's just that he arrived before the other party set up the longitude and latitude lines, and now he has withdrawn without hesitation. With the cover of the [Usurpation of God] talent, it is difficult for the other party to detect him.
Therefore, the only help that could be given to Li Jianhu was to give him one day of Qing Zi external luck.
This is the treatment for a truly lucky son. If Li Jianhu still cannot escape with such great luck and other backup plans of Confucianism, it means that he is destined to have this disaster. I can only find another opportunity to save him.
Of course, in Zhou Tieyi's estimation, Li Jianhu was a supernatural being, and with himself as an old grandfather and the Confucian back-up, it would be strange if he couldn't escape.
On the contrary, this first time I used the magical power of [Observe Evil and Report Good] gave me a very wonderful feeling.
In the hands of an ordinary person, even if they accumulated good deeds for ten years, they might not be able to use the great blue and purple fortune that they just had. For him, this was only equivalent to spending about five days of "good deeds".
In Zhou Tieyi's hands, the effect of this magical power is unimaginable.
With the promotion of the Railway Chamber of Commerce, as he changed this era, thousands of people were able to have enough food to eat, the people had more say, and the orthodox doctrines of the various schools of thought made some good changes.
The amount of "good deeds" accumulated in these two months is something an average person cannot accomplish in their entire lifetime.
Therefore, when Zhou Tieyi got this authority, he had a premonition that when he fully implemented the train, he would obtain permanent blue and purple fortune. Moreover, this fortune of the son of destiny could not only be used on himself, but also temporarily attached to other people. It is equivalent to a son of destiny who can change and move at any time!
This is the scariest thing!
Zhou Tieyi muttered to himself in his heart, "Supernatural powers are a byproduct of divine authority, but the core of divine authority is still 'power'."
He almost understood why there was a special "evil god". Good deeds were rewarded, which was one rule, and evil deeds were rewarded, which was also another set of rules. The most important thing among them was not good and evil, but authority. The size of authority was directly related to the definition of good and evil.
When one's authority is great enough, it is not a bad idea to describe the destruction of the world as resource recycling. This is just like many people's belief in absolute power.
It’s just that many divine powers are closely related to the people because of the existence of humanity. They come from all living beings and are also restricted by the will of all living beings.
This is also a power and obligation in a sense.
"What about those pure beings who become gods by natural authority?"
The core of the tornado formed by the 'Wanjie Ningbingsha' was still desolate. Zhou Tieyi sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the corpse of the White Emperor in front of him.
Being able to observe the corpse of the White Emperor at any time is like reading a top-level Taoist scripture.
Not to mention the pure Gengjin energy of this place and the elusive fortune of the Five Emperors that is connected to the fortune of the human race.
He stroked the half tiger talisman in his hand. Since he discovered this place, he would come here every night for the past five days to comprehend the White Emperor's corpse.
By perceiving the feedback from the statue of the White Emperor and the authority of [Martial Arts], the majestic martial arts god in Zhou Tieyi's dantian has been perfected after being cleansed by the dual cleansing of blood and the ancestral Qi of heaven and earth.
Everyone's martial arts deity, even if they practice the same method, will undergo corresponding changes due to their differences.
For example, Zhou Tiege's Martial Arts God will then condense nine thunder drums, symbolizing Zhou Tieyi's attainments in the way of thunder.
Zhou Tieyi looked at his martial arts god.
It is also the spiritual imprint of a half-human, half-tiger creature.
Zhou Tieyi's 'White Tiger' is stranger than the others.
The first is a pair of spread wings. In reality, he obtained a pair of flesh and blood wings with the flesh and blood fruit. Although with the help of the authority of the Blood God Son, they can be hidden well.
However, the spirit is a reflection of the flesh and blood, and changes in the flesh and blood will inevitably affect changes in the spirit.
Therefore, a pair of wings of flesh and blood grew on Zhou Tieyi's statue of the White Tiger God, making the entire statue of the White Tiger more beast-like.
Another feature of the bestiality is that Zhou Tieyi's white tiger form has four complete arms, with the four limbs holding a bow, a spear, a shield, and a Mo Dao respectively, representing the four combat skills of [Record of Supervising Soldiers and Killing Demons].
In addition to the four arms, if Zhou Tieyi is willing, he can use the spirits of A Da and others to enter his body and make the White Tiger grow more arms. This is somewhat similar to the Buddhist method of aspiration.
When Shenxiu and Zhou Tiege were fighting, a statue of a hundred-armed Bodhisattva evolved behind him, and its fighting power should not be underestimated.
However, this method of guiding other people's spirits into the body means more uncertainties, so Zhou Tieyi has not made any corresponding attempts for the time being.
Beyond this, two other forces surround the entire white tiger statue from above and below.
One is the Dantian below the White Tiger Statue, which is like an ocean. It rises and falls in the ocean of blood and energy, and it seems that the White Tiger Statue is suppressing its own vigorous blood and energy.
But for Zhou Tieyi who possesses the power of flesh and blood, even if there is no martial arts god, his own blood and energy will not run wild like ordinary warriors and enter a state of madness.
Therefore, the ocean of blood and qi in Dantian is actually nurturing the White Tiger statue and will not cause any additional burden to the White Tiger statue.
As long as Zhou Tieyi has a thought, the ocean of blood and energy will gather and turn into a huge blood-red lotus, and a new lotus seed will now be generated in the lotus.
After absorbing the authority of Wuchang God's [Blood Food], Zhou Tieyi can now produce two [Blood God Sons] a month, and gave one Blood God Son each to Tao Duweng and Xu Yu.
Under normal circumstances, Zhou Tieyi would let the blood-colored lotus in his dantian dissipate into invisible blood energy to prevent someone from using spiritual secrets to suddenly break into his dantian and see the blood-colored lotus.
On top of the white tiger statue, the five elements of ancestral qi gathered. The Green Emperor was elegant, the Red Emperor was majestic, the Yellow Emperor was kind, and the White Emperor was murderous. They sat in four directions, wearing a twelve-chapter robe. The five elements of ancestral qi also changed into the shapes of mountains, rivers, grass, trees, flowers, birds, insects and fish. Only the black emperor statue was in the process of condensing, with just an incomplete shadow, which made the changes of the five qi incomplete and caused some minor defects.
This is not all about Zhou Tieyi, the God of Martial Arts.
At a distance that Zhou Tieyi himself didn't know how far away, another "God of Martial Arts" stood in the campfire pond of the wild world.
The golden body of the god has a distant aura, and behind its head a phantom of a Tianyi jade disc like a bright moon is slowly rotating. Red clouds are rising in the fire pit, constantly absorbing the mirage and faith of the tribe. The face of the golden body of the god is not fixed. When Zhou Tieyi is not paying attention to this golden body of the god, the face of this golden body keeps changing among the men, women, young and old in the tribe.
The only thing in common is that the faces of these men, women, young and old reveal a faint sense of Buddhist compassion.
When Zhou Tieyi established his deity, he used the method of [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm] to use the fire pond to transform the earth veins. Later, Zhou Tieyi broke through the shackles of [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm] and transformed it into his own [Five Finger Mountain], but inevitably retained a part of the Buddhist meaning. With the Tianyi Jade Disc that kept spinning behind his head, this deity has a sense of being half Buddha and half Taoist.
Under the feet of the deity, a mountain dragon and a water python entwine with each other, transforming into dragons to guard the golden body.
If Zhou Tieyi is willing, he can even bring his golden body from the wild world to Daxia. After all, after many experiments, it is no problem to bring matter from the wild world to Daxia, let alone a golden body.
What Zhou Tieyi is not sure about is whether this kind of information and the golden body that gathers energy can return from the Daxia world to the Manghuang world. After all, up to now, it seems that the only thing that can be brought from the Daxia world to the Manghuang world, besides information, is the divine power, that is, the power of rules.
Once the golden body descends from the wild world and becomes one with the god of martial arts, it will be considered Zhou Tieyi's complete spiritual imprint, the true unity of god and man.
"It's better to keep it in the wild world."
Zhou Tieyi still planned to hide his golden body in the wild world according to the original plan. As long as his golden body was not found, it would mean that he would have one more life.
Even if his plan in Daxia failed, and he was completely destroyed here from spirit to body, as long as the golden body existed, he could return from nothingness without anyone's help. However, he was not sure whether he would be able to return to Daxia at that time, or whether he would be confined to the wild world forever.
"What a troubled time."
Zhou Tieyi stood up, ended today's practice, and returned to Qilin Pavilion.
Prince Ning's sudden outburst indicates that a new political storm has formed starting from tonight, and it is estimated that it will reach Tianjing around tomorrow.
After all, with his secret help and the help of Li Jianhu as a chess piece, King Ning's wish to completely block the Huxin Academy case and report it after the dust has settled is likely to be dashed.
Why did King Ning do this?
In Qilin Pavilion, Zhou Tieyi took out a piece of paper as usual and wrote a mind map.
Taizu of Daxia issued an order to reduce the power of the feudal lords. After the title had been passed down for three generations, the title had to be continued through military merit.
With the exception of Taizu's generation, subsequent emperors of Daxia all intentionally restricted the enfeoffment of real royal titles to their descendants in order to avoid chaos in the handover of imperial power.
Unfortunately, the title of Prince Ning was conferred by Taizu, and he was one of the first powerful princes in Daxia.
The Great Xia Emperor had a very short life span because he inherited the throne of a saint and was unable to practice cultivation and had to endure the oppression of powerful forces. However, the influence of the vassal kings in this regard was much smaller than that of the Great Xia Emperor.
So the lineage was passed down to this generation of Prince Ning, which is exactly the third generation.
This leads to an interesting situation. The Ning Wang of this generation must renew his title through military merit. However, because of his status as a powerful king, Ning Wang had never dared to extend his hand to the army.
If there were no further developments, King Ning would have been stripped of his power in this generation.
That’s why Prince Ning’s extravagance was known to the world.
Because he is not extravagant, Prince Ning cannot keep his title. Anyway, my title will not be kept in this generation, so as long as I am not guilty of treason, no matter how many other things I have done, you Confucians can only advise the emperor and take away my title, but you can't do anything else.
