Not all of Zhang Guangmu's fanatical followers are men. About 40% of them are female believers, so Tang Lanshan is among them without any disobedience.
When he is not on the road, Tang Lanshan will occasionally tell everyone's fortunes, but unfortunately, the fortune-tellings he comes up with are basically bad fortunes for the lower and middle.
As a result, while she advised Zhang Guangmu to enter the capital later, she began to doubt her life.
Zhang Guangmu also followed the fortune-telling girl's advice.
Along the way, he summarized and summarized demon information to improve the book "Demonic Studies".
From Bodhi Temple to the eastern suburbs of the capital, it obviously only takes half a day, but it took the group three full days to walk.
On this day, Zhang Guangmu and others finally arrived in the imperial city.
"Wow! So majestic! You are worthy of being at the feet of the Emperor!"
"There are so many people here, won't they attract monsters?"
"There are two departments of subduing demons and demons watching. How can we be afraid of demons? We are not afraid!"
"Hey, can you smell it? There is a smell of blood..."
"It does seem a bit..."
"Look at the road! No one has ever died here, and a lot of them!"
The fanatical believers thought that demons were raging in the capital, killing people everywhere, and they suddenly became nervous.
Infected by them, the guards at the city gate also broke out in a cold sweat.
According to the regulations, guards should conduct routine body searches, but believers believe that this behavior is disrespectful to Great Sage, Teacher of the Virtuous.
In this way, a conflict arose between the two sides, and the two sides were so tense that they almost started fighting on the spot.
But the matter was quickly dealt with.
Zhang Guangmu After reporting his name and verifying his identity, the guards no longer obsessed with the body search and successfully entered the capital.
At this time, the believers gradually knew...
It turned out that the young man I met outside Bodhi Temple three days ago was actually the prince of the Great Gan Dynasty, named Yang Chi.
It's just that now, everyone should change to call others "Your Majesty".
It is said that just three nights ago, the prince falsely accused Prince of lewdness in the harem. The then emperor Long Yan was furious and directly summoned several people involved into the palace.
Then...
Those eight unlucky guys were taken advantage of by Yang Chi.
It's not a victory like "catching Great Prison", but a victory that directly cuts off the heads of all competitors.
Great Gan Dynasty There are only nine Prince...
The other eight were all slaughtered by Yang Chi. The current emperor is also old. It is estimated that even if he gives birth to a new dragon son, he may not be able to raise him to grow up - Yang Chi cannot let the guy who threatens his status live to grow up.
His obsession with power is very strong.
So...
Yang Chi After reaching this level, the victory has been truly established.
But he did more than that.
Yang Chi, who was still the crown prince at the time, rushed directly into the palace with a group of fierce soldiers, and pulled out the angry emperor to talk to him all night long.
The specific content of the conversation between the two is unknown to outsiders.
Anyway, after that night, the banner on the city wall changed, the prince ascended the throne at the speed of light, and the old emperor became Emperor Emeritus, living in seclusion in the harem, enjoying peace and happiness.
Back to business...
Zhang Guangmu had the name Great Sage, Teacher of the Virtuous early on. Later, the new emperor Yang Chi ascended the throne and spread the name [Great Sage, Teacher of the Virtuous] through various means of public opinion guidance.
On the contrary, the popularity of the title [Young Banished Immortal] dropped sharply and was suppressed to the lowest point.
For those who have never seen Zhang Guangmu, just by hearing his name, they will subconsciously picture an image of a childlike old man with white hair and white beard in their minds.
As soon as they entered the capital, Zhang Guangmu and his group spent a lot of effort to verify his true identity and let the people know that he was not a fake.
After some interludes, Zhang Guangmu, Tang Lanshan and the believers were warmly entertained by the people in the city.
Although this group of people is not as good as the believers around Zhang Guangmu, their fanaticism is far beyond the average groupies.
Especially after Zhang Guangmu started giving a speech and truly spread the doctrine of "Demonic Studies"...
People's enthusiasm for him was almost like seeing their long-lost biological son.
When explaining "Demonic Studies", in order to make it easy to understand, Zhang Guangmu not only uses vernacular language, but also takes out a few [Night Demon] and a few [Burning Demon] from Town Evil Pendant in advance as "teaching materials".
The real demon was as weak as a chicken in front of Zhang Guangmu, trembling, and was easily eliminated. This was thousands of times more effective than any propaganda!
The charlatans who boasted about the law originally thought that Zhang Guangmu was their peer, and were jealous of Zhang Guangmu's popularity and traffic. They were fully prepared and planned to come out to fight, and they started to slander Zhang Guangmu.
As a result, as soon as I saw Zhang Guangmu's methods, I immediately felt like an ostrich. I wanted to bury my head in the sand and never come out to respond again.
What charlatan?
[Great Sage, Teacher of the Virtuous] is a real immortal who can kill monsters at will!
Such a existence must have come to the mortal world to save countless suffering people in Daqian!
Zhang Guangmu is so compassionate, rescues the poor, and works so hard to slay demons, how can he be slandered like this?
If anyone dares to speak nonsense, the magicians who hang out in the capital's arena will first refuse to agree!
Zhang Guangmu is so popular!
He not only came with the majesty of slaying demons, but also showed kindness to the people of the whole city.
This kind of favor is not about money, fame or power, but...
A life-saving measure!
After listening to the course of Great Sage, Teacher of the Virtuous Zhang Guangmu, I am not able to cast "Samadhi True Fire" casually like him to burn the demons to death, but I can also have self-protection methods when facing specific demons!
Tang Lanshan's worries did not appear.
Perhaps it is because Zhang Guangmu is so popular now that the people who have always controlled the secret knowledge of demons have not jumped out to oppose him. Instead, they have taken advantage of his rise and followed the trend, and even have the idea of befriending him.
Even the people who were passive did not take action against Zhang Guangmu at first because they were afraid of the imperial power, but later they changed their minds.
Because they noticed that the arrival of Zhang Guangmu, although there were more people sharing cakes, it also allowed them to share more cakes!
When Zhang Guangmu talks about "Demonic Studies", he imparts not only knowledge, but also a sophisticated way of learning and thinking.
He even promised that after Imperial Examination, he would accept ten disciples and pass on all his knowledge.
Among them are at least two methods of killing monsters!
Maybe...
Is there any way to live forever?
Some people who responded quickly have found out the origin of Zhang Guangmu - a poor Scholar who was born in Liufeng County. He lived in poverty for ten years and no one knew about it. Before coming to Beijing to take the exam, he had never done anything extraordinary.
The development of things must always follow the laws of nature!
A person can have a profound enlightenment after encountering a big change, just like Tathagata's Baptism, and completely understand some of the mysteries of the world, but the means of doing things, personality style, knowledge accumulation and personal abilities always take a long time to be forged bit by bit!
Zhang Guangmu Zhang Guangmu A young and poor Scholar, how come Liufeng County seems to have achieved enlightenment and instantly transform from a mortal to an immortal?
There must be a reason!
Many people have their own speculations in their minds.
Such as "Body Snatching", "The mystery of the gods descending to earth and regaining memories in the womb" and so on.
The situation in the capital is changing and undercurrents are surging, which is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
On the surface, the people in the city sent a large amount of fruits, snacks, bacon, eggs, cloth and other items to Zhang Guangmu and his followers.
There is no charge for walking to the inn and staying in the hotel.
Not only was the purchase of pens, inks, paper and inkstones free of charge, but Zhang Guangmu was even given a "remuneration" - the value of everything he bought doubled in a short period of time.
Even to hold the "Demonic Studies" forum, there is no need to pay venue rental fees. Many wealthy businessmen and famous speakers are waiting to come to the door, eager to break each other's heads in order to compete for the opportunity to let Zhang Guangmu lecture on their own territory.
They really feel that the place where Zhang Guangmu lived will definitely be "splendid".
Even if the fairy spirit of Great Sage, Teacher of the Virtuous is not tainted and cannot ward off evil spirits, it can at least double the commercial value of the venue!
"..."
In this frenzied state that filled the city, Tang Lanshan barely stayed awake.
The divination predictions she had recently made were more sinister than the last.
I originally thought that by delaying entering the capital for a few days, I could avoid the bloody crisis of the change of imperial power, and it would be a great time.
It turns out...
She still thinks too much.
Tang Lanshan raised his head and looked at Zhang Guangmu, who was finishing his lecture not far away, and sighed in his heart.
The current situation is...
Even a blue brick that has been stepped on by Zhang Guangmu will double its value and will be pulled off the road by speculators and sold to various wealthy businessmen or nobles who are willing to spend their collections.
"Gone."
Zhang Guangmu patted the fortune teller on the shoulder. "The opening outline and the first three chapters of "Demonic Studies" have been finished. I haven't written out the follow-up content yet. After Imperial Examination, I will teach the apprentices and supplement the content at the same time."
"I've worked hard on you these days."
"Get some rest."
Without waiting for Tang Lanshan to respond, Zhang Guangmu turned his gaze and saw a heroic man wearing a Nine Dragons Emperor's robe and wearing Qianyuan crown at the head of the "VIP Seat".
If it's not Yang Chi, who is it?
But compared with when they met in Bodhi Temple, Yang Chi had completed the gorgeous transformation from prince to emperor, and his aura was obviously much more tyrannical. When he saw Zhang Guangmu again, there was always a faint smile on his lips.
Yang Chi looked at Zhang Guangmu and laughed loudly, "These days, I am busy with mundane things and did not come over immediately, but I miss Great Sage, Teacher of the Virtuous very much in my heart!"
"After Imperial Examination is finished, I will put aside my official duties and take a day to have a long talk with Great Sage, Teacher of the Virtuous!"
No matter what Yang Chi thinks in his heart, at least he maintains his superficial respect for Zhang Guangmu.
That's enough.
The two parties contacted each other verbally, but Yang Chi did not consider the credibility of Zhang Guangmu...
For some reason, although Yang Chi hates Zhang Guangmu deep down, he subconsciously trusts Zhang Guangmu's character.
In his view, Zhang Guangmu is by no means a person who breaks his promise to get rich.
But...
Yang Chi will eventually kill Zhang Guangmu.
The bird is gone and the bow is hidden, and the donkey is killed. This will not change in any way because of Zhang Guangmu's character.
After Imperial Examination, Zhang Guangmu will accept apprentices and teach them skills. Yang Chi is confident that he will definitely be one of those ten disciples.
Facing Yang Chi's superficial appearance, Zhang Guangmu just nodded slightly and didn't give much response.
He just blinked and focused his attention on a young man wearing a pure black gown.
Feeling the gaze of Zhang Guangmu, the eyes of the young man in black were full of evil and cruelty.
He grinned, forming a slightly ferocious smile.
The man suddenly stood up and walked quickly in the direction of Zhang Guangmu.
