Search for souls!
The origin of the scribe came to mind, and it was exactly what he said.
A down-and-out scholar met by chance, practiced Qi Foundation Establishment and formed elixirs all the way, turned around and passed the imperial examination again and won the Jinshi, and was appointed as the secretary of Daheng Ministry of Revenue Salary Department.
Ministry of Revenue, an eighth-rank imperial official and the richest in the Six Divisions, is already a huge figure in the eyes of the common people.
"Well, I also married dozens of wives. This kind of experience makes me the protagonist of this story!"
Zhou Yi Returned to Mountain God Temple, Spirit Ginseng Child had emerged from the ground and bowed to him very attentively.
"Venerable Immortal has condensed into Nascent Soul. Congratulations!"
"You guys still have the nerve to come out and watch the statue of Pindao being smashed to pieces."
Zhou Yi waved his hand and smashed the statue of the scribe into pieces, then replaced it with the statue of the Daoist, leaving another Nascent Soul Mana, which can frighten visitors when he goes out.
Spirit Ginseng Child said flatteringly, "We have also listened to Venerable Immortal's instructions. Whenever there is a foreign enemy, we should hide if we can. Anyway, you have a long life. Wait until he dies before digging his grave and raising ashes!"
"Hmph! Why don't you go down the mountain and replace the other statues?"
Zhou Yi did not criticize Spirit Ginseng Child harshly. Since the birth of Lingzhi, he has been running around with him, and it has become a habit unconsciously.
A few days later.
The people near Wushan replaced the mountain god statues with new ones.
The statues of gods that were enshrined yesterday are now filling up the Zaohuo Hall. The world is really in trouble.
The king's flag changes at the top of the city. You sing and I come on stage. The gods and goddesses from all walks of life come and go like a revolving lantern. The common people have long been used to it.
They don't believe in the gods on their seats!
Whether it is Buddha or Tao, right or wrong, the common people do not care and have no power to support or oppose. Instead, they offer incense to that seat.
"This poor man has worked hard for twenty years. In the eyes of the people, he is just a mountain god who is easy to worship. There are only a hundred people who truly worship him."
Zhou Yi doesn't know much about incense Divine Path, but judging from the current situation, there is something wrong with Daheng and even Eastern Divine Continent's Divine Path incense.
If ordinary people don't sincerely worship and clock in as if they are going to work, Incense and Fire Prayer Power must be shallow.
In order to gather Wish Power Pearl, the gods must increase their efforts in harvesting incense, which indirectly causes mortals to not believe in gods.
In such a vicious cycle, it is difficult for Divine Path to prosper.
"Such a general trend is far from the thoughts of a poor person, and besides, there is no need for Wish Power Pearl. As a pure Path of Immortality monk, Divine Path's decadence and malaise are actually good for me!"
Zhou Yi shook his head slightly and lamented that if Divine Path continues like this, there will inevitably be more Linyang land cases.
After all, it is the common people who suffer!
Mountain God Temple was handed over to Spirit Ginseng Child, and Zhou Yi soared into the clouds and flew towards Great Heng Capital.
On the way, Zhou Yi cast Thunderous Escape, blessing the true dragon transformation and Blood Ignition Escape Technique, and passed through Azure Cloud Prefecture in just half an hour.
"Such an escape speed far surpasses that of the Dragon Emperor back then, and is already considered the top in the Nascent Soul Realm world!"
Zhou Yi Thousands of years of accumulation quickly exploded after breaking through the realm. Mana arrived, and all the magic techniques Divine Ability were perfected by themselves, just like the old Daoist master who has been there for many years.
The next day.
Great Heng Capital is in sight.
Built near the mountains, covering three to four thousand miles, with steaming clouds and brilliant clouds, it looks like a fairyland in the sky.
Looking into the city from the outside, one can vaguely see the pavilions and pavilions.
The towering city wall is equipped with many formations to isolate the inside and outside scenes. Even Nascent Soul Spirit Transformation has to go through the main entrance obediently.
"Hengshan Mountain is the top spiritual vein of the Eastern Divine Continent. According to the Cultivation World classification of Jiuzhou, it should be at the heaven level. It is said that the spiritual veins have been cultivated for tens of thousands of years and gave birth to a blessed land, which is the foundation of the Li family's royal family!"
Fairy Mountain Blessed Land is often used to describe monk cave abode, but it is actually a real world.
According to records in the classics, the Great Way of Heaven and Earth is manifested in the Blessed Land, which is mysterious and extraordinary. It is easier for monks to realize the Tao and make breakthroughs. Some people once speculated that the environment of the Blessed Land is similar to that of the fairy world.
Zhou Yi fell to escape the light and paid ten Spirit Stone's entrance fee.
"At this price, it is impossible for ordinary mortals to enter the city!"
Sure enough.
The streets are lively and bustling, but there are very few mortals. Great Heng Capital is almost a city composed entirely of monks.
Not only were there people, but there was also Demon Race wearing a beast head, walking on the street very naturally.
"This is the prosperous age of Cultivation World!"
Zhou Yi The tip of his nose twitched, and he found that everyone had a strong or light scent of incense.
"In the prosperous age when everyone was like a dragon, Incense and Fire Prayer Power's assistance was indispensable. When Jiuzhou Cultivation World was at its peak, the top floor was not weaker than Eastern Divine Continent, but there was no monk city!"
The scarcity and randomness of spiritual roots separated the world from the immortals in Jiuzhou.
Even Golden Core True Lord Nascent Soul Ancestor has to accept the poor qualifications of his descendants and rely on multiple marriages to give birth to spiritual roots.
Wish Power Pearl has endless magical uses. Even if you don't have spiritual roots and practice martial arts first, with the double blessing of a large number of spiritual objects and Incense and Fire Prayer Power, you can quickly reach the state of introducing Qi into the body.
Eastern Divine Continent has no shortage of spiritual energy, spiritual objects, and techniques. What he is afraid of is that his practice is slow and his longevity is insufficient. Incense Mind Condensation Art just makes up for this.
The more Qi refining period you have, the more Foundation Establishment and golden elixir you can have.
"One skill can make a continent... why does it always feel familiar?"
Zhou Yi was not interested in exploring the source of the spell for the time being. He searched for a well-informed place in the city and spent half a month to roughly figure out the situation Great Heng Capital.
The structure of Kyoto is similar to that of the ordinary capital, or it can be said that it is the transformation of the capital.
There is no shortage of all kinds of official positions in the imperial palace, the palace, and the six bureaus. The difference is that the people who hold these positions are all monks.
"The capital is extraordinary!"
Zhou Yi has seen the top dual cultivation methods, and the taste is far more mysterious than Mystic Desire Pavilion. I heard the girls boast that there are actually male and female cultivators from the Jindan and Nascent Soul Realm circles working part-time in the building.
Dual Cultivation Technique is a Path of Immortality technique that is both good and evil. Several sects in Daheng have this as their foundation.
"You dare to practice dual cultivation with the golden elixir Nascent Soul, and you are not afraid of doing evil in secret. The essence Shendu has been sucked dry!"
Zhou Yi was walking on the streets of Kyoto, looking left and right with his hands folded, like an old man strolling down the street.
The wine shop sells Spiritual Wine, the restaurant sells spiritual beasts, and the pawn shop sells spiritual objects. If you don't look at the shops selling elixirs, talismans, and seals, they are not much different from ordinary cities.
The people were in high spirits, and their tone of voice couldn't help but rise when talking to the foreign monks.
Living in the capital is not easy.
Anyone who can settle down for a long time will have at least Foundation Establishment monks in their clan, who can have a relationship with Jindan.
The purpose of the residence in the capital is no longer just for living, but also similar to the cave abode that can be passed down. Not only can one enjoy the top spiritual veins, but one can also enjoy the safety and protection of the Great Heng Dynasty court.
Zhou Yi found Yaxing and asked about the price of housing.
"It's okay, not expensive!"
No matter how sky-high the price of a house in Kyoto is, in the eyes of a 6,500-year-old monster, it just looks like that. For example, in the previous life, I lamented that housing prices in the imperial capital were expensive. If I could work for 6,000 years, would I still be able to afford it?
"Unfortunately, no one is willing to sell their house unless they have to!"
Zhou Yi's steps seem to be slow but are actually fast, one step is a hundred feet long. It comes from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect's magic foot power. His speed is not as fast as the light escape, but there is something mysterious about rushing in the city.
In the city.
The east side of Daheng Palace.
Investigation and Verification Bureau Yamen.
It has been fourteen years since Yuanding was established in the 85th year of the Yuan Dynasty. There are two lions standing at the door. They are not stone sculptures but living dragons named Suanni.
Of course, the bloodline is thin and there are dozens of generations between him and the real dragon.
Suanni was responsible for guarding the door. When he saw Zhou Yi approaching, he opened his mouth to ask the reason.
Zhou Yi revealed the soul of the scribe. After a while, an official opened the door and led him all the way to the government hall.
"Senior, wait a moment."
The official bowed and said, "You are the first Nascent Soul Dao Lord. How to calculate your merits depends on the decision of the head of the department."
Zhou Yi nodded slightly and sat on the chair to sip tea.
I had inquired clearly before coming here. Since Emperor Yuanding carried out the investigation and planning in the capital, many corrupt officials and evil spirits in Kyoto have escaped, and Investigation and Verification Bureau has issued wanted and reward missions.
Since the monks who escaped were at least in the Golden Core realm, or even Nascent Soul Ancestor, they found a new realm to change their appearance, or even escaped from the Daheng Kingdom, so few people completed the wanted order.
Three years ago, there was a golden elixir from abroad, which killed the fugitive evil god and came to the Great Heng Dynasty to hand it over to the Investigation and Verification Bureau.
The imperial court issued rewards and canonized an official mountain god.
It didn't take long.
A red-robed official appeared, cupped his hands and said, "Wang Qing, a poor Daoist, is in charge of the Investigation and Verification Bureau's examination."
"I've met fellow Daoist Wang."
Zhou Yi felt that Wang Qing's aura was as deep as the sea, at least in the middle and late stages of Nascent Soul, and said with his hands in hand, "Zhu Gang, Azure Cloud Prefecture Mount Wu God."
"Linyang Wushan, or Luxian Wushan?"
Wang Qing is very familiar with the mountains and rivers in Daheng. Investigation and Verification Bureau officials visited almost all counties to assess the merits and demerits of local officials and land.
"Linyang Wushan."
Zhou Yi took out the soul of the scribe and said, "A few days ago, I was in seclusion, and this guy actually occupied the divine position. After asking, I found out that he was a fugitive, so I immediately killed him and sent him to the court."
"That's all thanks to God Zhu Shan."
Wang Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and he had no good impression of Zhou Yi in his heart. In the eyes of the Investigation and Verification Bureau officials, 90% of the mountain gods, He Bo, deserved to be killed.
"As a poor man practicing in Daheng, he should wholeheartedly serve his country."
Zhou Yi handed over to the palace. "Your Majesty has a great talent and a great plan to purge the officialdom. Divine Path, I will do my best to support you, and I wish I could catch all the fugitives!"
"..."
Wang Qing was immediately speechless, dignified Nascent Soul Dao Lord, so shameless.
Different from ordinary people who are kings, ministers and kings, the Li family and the sect jointly govern Daheng, which is equivalent to the strongest Cultivation Family in the country. Path of Immortality monks like to be carefree by nature and rarely flatter anyone naked.
However, Wang Qing did not dare to refute Zhou Yi. He could not make his attitude clear in private, so he had to go along with it.
"Daoist Zhu has made great contributions to the court, and His Majesty will certainly reward you. Since you want to catch fugitives, how about joining Investigation and Verification Bureau?"
"The poor Mana is humble and cannot take on big responsibilities."
Zhou Yi refused continuously. Investigation and Verification Bureau seemed to have amazing power. Today he will kill Nascent Soul, but tomorrow he will kill Nascent Soul. However, his own losses are not small.
Moreover, there are too many forces that have been offended. In the future, Divine Path will be purged from Daheng. With Emperor Yuanding's cool temperament, Investigation and Verification Bureau will definitely be used to calm the anger of all parties, and only fools will join.
"I don't want anything to say good-bye. All I want is a Orthodox God yellow book, so that I can live a good life as your Majesty's herdsman in the future."
"That's really wronging Daoist Zhu. I will explain it to His Majesty."
Wang Qing spoke in a strange voice, and he didn't understand how such a slick and hypocritical person could survive the inner demons.
Zhou Yi's goal was achieved, and he didn't care about Wang Qing's taunts. He obtained the Orthodox God Yellow Book, and later hid in the mountains and cultivated until Nascent Soul Perfection. When he came out again, the grass on his grave was three feet high.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang. Pindao will be waiting for news at the Flying Immortal Pavilion."
There are no secrets in the yamen.
This is the case in the world, and so is Cultivation World.
soon.
The origins of Zhou Yi were placed in front of the Great Heng Dynasty Lineage and the sect. The investigation stopped at Mount Wu God and the shopkeeper, and the previous information was empty.
Someone related the news reported by Chiming Prefecture and speculated that Zhou Yi was Mr. Bandit Cultivator from Nadu.
On the whole, he is quite innocent, especially because of his pure and harmonious aura. Mystic School, the authentic monk, is the most popular among all parties.
The location of Zhou Yi was also quickly figured out. Pleasure Quarter, who was hanging around the top in Beijing, belonged to the Beijing branch of the Flying Immortal Sect. He had never come out since he entered.
Live and drink, be at ease!
"This is a wonderful man!"
Flying Immortal Sect is quite powerful in Daheng. After learning the news, he immediately sent someone to invite Zhou Yi to join the sect.
If you promise to be an elder, you can get a 50% discount on future purchases at the Flying Immortal Pavilion!
Zhou Yi admitted that this condition was very tempting, but he lacked Spirit Stone the most. He endured heartache and refused the invitation, but he still got a lifetime membership card with a 10% discount.
"Flying Immortal Sect is grand, I won't change the boundaries in the future!"
Another half month passed.
Zhou Yi has come into contact with many forces. The strong ones have Tianjun in charge, and the weak ones have at least Nascent Soul. The conditions offered are similar, such as becoming an elder, making offerings, and Lineage, and the sect providing training resources.
"The poor Daoist has no shortage of skills and spiritual objects. It is useless to add this kind of power."
"Besides, the elders who are just starting out will never be able to become one of their own. They won't be able to enjoy the core benefits. If they encounter danger, they will be forced to follow the path!"
"Look at it this way, it's not bad to be a Rogue Cultivator!"
This day.
Hundred Flavors Pavilion.
Zhou Yi found a corner and was pouring himself a drink.
A young Daoist priest walked straight over after going upstairs and sat down opposite.
"After waiting for more than half a month, Daoist friend is finally willing to come out of the Flying Immortal Pavilion."
"I wonder what's wrong with you, friend?"
Zhou Yi looked at the Daoist priest carefully. He was in his twenties and had a stern face. His Daoist robe was simple and simple.
The Daoist priest said slowly, "Purple Sun Sutra!"
Brush!
Dividing Light Sword fell into the hand, and Sword Qi bloomed extremely fiercely, turning into a sword formation to seal off several feet in the area.
"Who are you?"
Zhou Yi is full of killing intent. If this person can't make some sense, he will directly kill him. If he doesn't die after three hits, he will escape Eastern Divine Continent and wait and see for hundreds of years before coming back.
"What a wonderful sword technique. Even the elders in the sect rarely have such achievements. He is actually a natural seed of swordsmanship!"
The Daoist priest spoke to himself, and his tone was not as cold as before. "I am a third generation disciple of Gu Xiao, Mending Heaven Sect."
"Mending Heaven Sect?"
Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said tentatively, "The poor Daoist once mistakenly entered the sage cave abode and obtained some Mending Heaven Sect inheritance, including Purple Sun Sutra..."
"Mending Heaven Sect has a long inheritance. There are countless experts in the teaching, and there are countless inheritances scattered outside."
Gu Xiao said, "Fellow Daoist has received the inheritance of Butian, which means he has a predestined relationship with this sect. I am invited by my master's sect to invite my fellow Daoist to return to the sect!"
"Mending Heaven Sect, is there Human Immortal here?"
Zhou Yi has stayed in the Eastern Divine Continent for decades, and has learned a lot about Cultivation World. For example, the terms "religion", "sect" and "sect" should not be used indiscriminately.
"That's natural. Human Immortal will be taught from generation to generation!"
Whenever Gu Xiao mentions Mending Heaven Sect, he will look solemn and speak with reverence, "Fifteen thousand years ago, Ancestor Yunyi survived the ninety-nine tribulations of heaven and succeeded Ascension to Immortality."
"Eastern Divine Continent several times, the great sect with the method of ascension can only be counted on five fingers!"
Zhou Yi was not excited by the method of ascension. He has endless lifespan. As long as he doesn't die prematurely, it will be a matter of time before he ascends to the immortal world. He asked.
"Pindao is willing to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan. I would like to ask if joining Mending Heaven Sect requires restrictions such as soul lanterns or an age test for qualifications?"
"Such restrictions are entirely voluntary."
Gu Xiao said, "Due to the wide spread of inheritance in the religion, there are many people in the Eastern Divine Continent countries who practice it. The ancestor is not limited to such disciples Root Bone. Only by condensing the golden elixir can they officially join the religion!"
Zhou Yi pondered for a moment and said with a smile.
"I have been fascinated by the Mending Heaven Sect for a long time. Today, senior brother came to visit and finally got what he wanted!"
Gu Xiao smiled when he heard this. He was indeed a shameless person as rumored.
