Originally, according to normal principles, Mu Xuan worked for the court and had the protection of the national destiny. He was invulnerable to all laws and could be killed by weapons, but he could never be deceived by Taoism.
But Mu Xuan is a Taoist. Although he has a distinguished status now, he does not have a imperial title. After all, the imperial title is related to the Qi. If it is an ordinary person, it is fine. The mortal's imperial title will not damage the national destiny. But if a Taoist is granted the imperial title,
But it can continuously draw out the spirit of a country.
Of course, today's Daxin is not a completely closed road to imperial enfeoffment. If it can make a contribution to promoting the great changes of the times, the imperial court will not be stingy with a piece of Immortal Dao Fruit.
It's just that with Mu Xuan's current contribution, it is impossible to obtain such an edict. His salary consists of two parts, one part is the currency of the court, and the other part is the Qi given by the court.
This Qi number is carried by the imperial edict and has nothing to do with grade. It is impossible to determine the national destiny based on this.
This model was undoubtedly the most advantageous for the imperial court, as it could borrow the power of Taoists without causing disaster.
But in this way, Taoists cannot be protected by the national destiny.
At this moment, Mu Xuan was easily captured by Tao Fa, and did not cause any change in the fate of the country.
Of course, this is also the high and profound Taoism of Fanqingmeng.
Half a step into the world, this is truly a break from the mortal world.
Jinxian is nothing but the immortality of gold and immortality within the rules, while Daluo means transcendence.
If Zhao Cheng had not gone into seclusion, Fan Qingmeng would not have dared to perform Taoist magic near the divine capital, or even come close.
But now, Zhao Cheng's mind is completely focused on other things. The destiny of the country is only instinctive and has no one to control it, so she took advantage of it.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
"Even if you enter the imperial city, what will happen?!"
"Your Taoism is indeed profound, but your Majesty's practice has already become a reference for the fate of a country. It is definitely not something you can defeat, Senior Sister. No matter how magical the Taoism is, it still needs strength to support it."
"Nowadays, the torrent of humanity is so vast. How can the power of one person and the magic of one Tao technique be able to contend with it?!"
Although Mu Xuan was deceived, Fan Qingmeng's Taoism was very miraculous and was directly deprived of Mu Xuan's mind. Without involving Fan Qingmeng's orders, he still maintained his own sanity and personality.
Mu Xuan knew that Fan Qingmeng must have a big plan to enter Tiangong Pavilion, so he didn't want Fan Qingmeng to die in vain.
"I have my own thoughts."
Fan Qingmeng responded. As she spoke, she walked directly into the water, leaving only Mu Xuan's back.
Seeing this, Mu Xuan stopped persuading him because he had long known that persuasion was useless.
Which of these Taoists is not a determined person?!
The reason why he made those useless remarks before was just because of past friendship.
It's a pity that everyone has their own path. If they don't go in the opposite direction, that's fine. If not, then it's the road and friendship that cannot have both.
Two days later, under Mu Xuan's arrangement, Fan Qingmeng swaggered into the divine capital.
With her ability, it is not difficult to enter the gods. What is difficult is how to enter the Tiangong Pavilion.
This place can be said to be the second center of the imperial court today. If the imperial cabinet determines the direction of the world, this place, Tiangong Pavilion, determines the height that the empire can reach in the future.
Of course, Fan Qingmeng is no stranger to Tiangong Pavilion. In the 20th year since the founding of the Daxin Kingdom, it took about 11 years to establish the world of Dingding. Among them, the ninth year of Yingtian, and the period from the 12th year of Yingtian to the twelfth year of Yingtian, Daxin Excavated Mountains
Destroying the temple and destroying countless Taoist traditions is the price the loser needs to pay.
But in the thirteenth year of Yingtian, the situation began to improve. After three years of killing, the prestige of the Taoists was completely wiped out and their pride was shattered. So the imperial court began to be lenient and began to recruit Taoists, saying that as long as they were willing to
When doing things in the imperial court, let bygones be bygones. As for those who don't want to, they will naturally still have the identity of being rebellious.
After all, it was not a secret that Taoists all over the world came together to help Da Cang. Instead, they did so in such a grand manner that even the traffickers and lackeys knew about it.
In the thirteenth year of Yingtian's reign, Mu Xuan was among the first batch of Taoists to defect to the imperial court.
At that time, after more than ten years of accumulation, and with the addition of knowledge brought by different people, Tiangong Pavilion had begun to take shape and developed many technologies, such as internal combustion engines, motors, etc. However, these things were difficult to produce on a large scale.
, can only be rubbed by Taoist hands.
In addition, the technology of oil extraction in the imperial court was not perfect. Therefore, these things were only used as luxury goods and were only used in the palace. The mainstream was still the development of steam power.
When Mu Xuan first entered Tiangong Pavilion, he did not only burn stoves, but also learn techniques. With his talent, he naturally learned quickly.
The world of geniuses is completely different from that of ordinary people. In just over half a year, he finished learning some of the things accumulated in Tiangong Pavilion, and then began to complete and explore in the direction of his interest.
By the time Ying Tian was fifteen years old, he had already become famous, and many subsequent textbooks cited his research materials.
In this case, Mu Xuan has very high authority. There is no problem in arranging someone to enter Tiangong Pavilion. This is why Fan Qingmeng found Mu Xuan.
As far as Tiangong Pavilion is concerned, there are actually Taoists who have been sending messages to Fan Qingmeng to let her know what's going on inside.
It's just that none of those Taoists have Mu Xuan's ability to arrange people.
After all, her identity as Fan Qingmeng could not withstand scrutiny.
Indeed, what the court said was that by joining Tiangong Pavilion, she would forget the past, but she did not go in to burn the stove and develop the empire. If she really used her identity, she might not be able to accomplish anything.
The scene of the divine capital is completely different from that of ten years ago. The buildings are still the same, but there are more neon lights on the surface of some buildings.
Daxin’s first thermal power plant was built three years ago.
This power plant is an experiment. Many of the parts are handmade by Taoists. The parts were forcibly manufactured using Taoist methods when the industrial conditions were insufficient.
Of course, the imperial court did not create this thing solely to show off their skills, but also as a guiding light.
This kind of thermal power plant is only small, built next to the canal, and does not generate much power. Therefore, at present, it is only used for the palace, the inner city, and some buildings operated by the court, such as inns and schools.
In the beginning, when this thing first appeared, it attracted a lot of people to watch. Some people even traveled for more than ten days just to take a look and light this thing.
But now that several years have passed, except for some outsiders who come to Shendu for the first time and take a few more glances, the locals have become accustomed to it.
