A few days later, the sound of chime bells could be heard above the sea of clouds. It was also the time of the court meeting in the middle of the month. On the long river of light, the figures of the court officials appeared one after another.
When Chen Shouzhi's figure appeared on the throne, the courtiers bowed to Chen Shouzhi and said, "I have seen the chief minister."
Chen Shouzhi also bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please be courteous." Another sound of the chime was heard, and all the ministers sat down.
Chen Shouzhi said: "Do you, the court officials, have any suggestions?"
Zhang Yu held up the jade mallet and struck the chime bell in front of the case. A clear chime sound came out. When everyone saw it, he put down the jade mallet and said to the people sitting at the table: "A few days ago, Kang was born.
All the court officials must be aware of the affairs between Miao and Lu Zhutong."
Everyone nodded.
Zhang Yudao: "This time, the two of them intended to leave Tianxia and defect to Yuanxia. The Yuanxia envoy thought that I would be more helpful to them, so he informed me of this and let me know.
about this matter.
Although the Yuan Xia envoy is willing to cooperate with me this time, the main reason is that in this person's opinion, Lu and Kang are not very good in cultivation. Even if they take them in, there will not be much benefit. On the contrary, they may ruin my affairs. Therefore
That's why they did it. And if these two people had a slightly higher level of skill, they might have other ideas.
Therefore, I believe that the most urgent task now is to rein in and rectify the fellow cultivators in the sea of clouds so that this matter can be prevented in the future."
All the officials present at the table began to think.
During the ancient Xia period, there were many sects, and during the Shenxia period, people's hearts were different, but in general, they were moving from dispersion to aggregation. After a long period of evolution, nearly the same principles and concepts were created throughout Tianxia, and they held these principles and principles.
It is naturally very easy for people who are thinking about it to gather in one place.
Especially today's younger generations, who have all grown up and practiced in this context of unity and assimilation, have a natural sense of identification with Tianxia.
But the problem lies precisely in the fact that those cultivators who cultivate in the sea of clouds are not like this.
These people have been cultivating for thousands of years, and there are many cultivators who have cultivated for thousands of years. Some of them have joined Tianxia from the time of Shenxia to the present, but their Taoism and Taoism are not the same as Tianxia.
If they are not completely compatible, if they are consistent with each other, they would have been willing to step out and take on the responsibilities. If they are not willing to step forward, they will just continue to follow the same practices of true cultivation in the past.
However, in the past, they were considered to have done meritorious service to Tian Xia, and each had their own reasons, so they were allowed to cultivate quietly in the upper levels without having to worry about the outside world.
This time Kang and Lu were thinking of joining Yuan Xia. Although they resented the rebellion, they were not too surprised.
Because they know that these Yunhai Qian cultivators still have some true cultivation thoughts in their hearts, that is, they will follow whoever is strong. In the past, Tianxia was the most powerful, and no sect could compare with it, and other sects did not.
Will accept them, but they will be enslaved if they go there, so they will naturally follow Tianxia.
Nowadays, Yuan Xia is more powerful and seems to have accepted many outsider cultivators. Although their status is not very high, they do not need to be destroyed together with Tian Xia, so they can accept it.
They can be sure that Kang and Lu are not the only ones who hold such thoughts. There must be others who have had this idea. They agree with Zhang Yu's suggestions in their hearts, but how to deal with it is another problem.
At this time, Taoist Yu Su took the lead to break the silence and spoke out: "To face the enemy Yuan Xia, every ounce of strength must be used. Every Tian Xia Taoist cultivator must stand up."
Having said this, he looked at the court officials present and said: "Tianxia's words of joining the world have been publicized for a long time. Those who are unwilling to contribute and avoid doing so, how can they be counted as monks of Tianxia? On the contrary, they may become
I have to allocate my energy to deal with the hidden dangers in Tianxia. At this time of crisis, I should use extraordinary methods. I cannot allow this person. I should use Xuan Ting's order to join the world and assume the power and responsibility. If he is not willing, then
Just go and stay in the prison, it will be of some use anyway."
All the court officials took a look. Only this person dared to say such words that offended countless people openly in court, and the matter should not be handled so radically. However, this sentence was like opening a big hole in the wall.
It also removes some taboos for everyone.
Zhong Tingzhi said at this time: "Yu Su Tingzhi's words are too extreme. My fellow Taoists practicing in the sea of clouds were allowed by Xuanting at the beginning. They did not do anything wrong. Although the situation has changed now,
But after all, they have never violated the laws of Tianxia, and they are not rebellious, so how can they be treated so roughly?"
Chong Ting agreed: "Exactly, and even if you force yourself to do it, you won't be convinced. So what's the difference between me and cruel people like Yuan Xia?
Chong thought that it would be better to clarify the interests of all Taoist friends in this matter first. In the past, we allowed them to practice latent cultivation, but we also ignored them. How could we ask for too much in the first place? These are all
The comrades who were willing to follow us to this world are all meritorious people and cannot be treated so harshly."
Dai Tingzhi said at this time: "Tingzhi, Dai thinks that what several court officials said has some truth, but there is a threat from Yuan Xia. Even with Zhang Tingzhi's efforts, if you don't come to attack me now,
But it has only been delayed for several years, and now our colleagues who are slowly waiting for the latent cultivation are no longer allowed to sit back and watch."
He raised his voice and said, "Dai suggested that Xuan Ting should issue a letter to inquire about this matter, and clearly explain the interests and consequences to every fellow Qian cultivator. Even those who are hiding from the world, if they encounter the critical moment of Tianxia's survival,
But he is still unwilling to contribute to Tianxia, and he just takes credit for his past achievements, so what good does it do to me? It will not be too late to use strict rules when the time comes."
Deng Zhen said at this time: "This method is feasible, but what is the time limit? These colleagues have been practicing at the upper level for a long time and have no idea of time. If I ask them to make a decision in two or three days, I'm afraid they won't be able to make it."
Zhong Tingzhi said: "How about half a year?"
Wei Tingzhi shook his head and said: "It's too long. The Yuan Xia threat is there. Even if you follow Xuan Ting's arrangements, you still have to adapt slowly. It will take a month or two at most, not any longer."
Zhu Tingzhi said: "Then let's do it for sixty days."
Zhu Tingzhi said nothing more, obviously agreeing with this statement. At the same time, everyone looked at the main seat, waiting for Chen Shouzhi to make a decision.
Chen Shouzhi looked to the side of the seat and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Tingzhi, Wu Tingzhi, this order is left to you two to issue. If there is anyone who crosses the line, you two can deal with it as appropriate."
Zhang Yu and Wu Qingxu both bowed from their seats and accepted the order.
After the matter was decided, the court discussion continued. After all the submissions were dealt with, Zhang Yu and Wu Qingxu took the decree issued by Xuanting, left the Guangqi River, got on the speeding car, and headed for the sea of clouds.
Come from deep.
The speeding car rides on the light gas, and wisps of golden rainbow float in the place where the speeding car passes, turning into a line of magnificent clouds, floating and filling the sky.
Not long after, I saw a palace falling into my eyes, but at this moment, a ray of light came and came to the front of the two people's car. It turned into a divine young man, bowed to the two of them, and said: "Two courtiers.
Zhi, when I heard about the arrival of the two of you, I specially asked you to come over and talk about it, saying that there might be a way to solve the problem in Xuanting."
Wu Ting asked: "Is it Fang Shangzun?"
The young man said: "Exactly."
Wu Qingxu pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhang Yu, who also nodded slightly, so he said: "Lead the way from the front."
The young godman immediately turned into a rainbow light again, and drove away in front of the two speeding cars. After about ten breaths, he saw the rainbow light penetrate into a thick cloud, and then the clouds and mist in this area opened like double doors.
, revealing a hanging waterfall and a floating island covered in fairy mist.
Zhang Yu looked at this place, and he knew that the reason why Xuan Ting asked the two of them to go together this time was, on the one hand, to let these Yunhai Qianxiu Xuanzun know that Xuan Ting valued this matter;
On the other hand, there are quite a number of these latent cultivators, and some of them have outstanding merits. In addition to Yan Ruohan and Taoist You, there is also a person who has achieved superior merits and has already perfected the Taoism. Therefore,
Both of them need to come forward together to be subdued. And the Supreme Master Wu Tingzhi said was this one.
At this time, an arched golden rainbow appeared in the floating island, flying across the sky, until it came to the front of the two people's car. The speeding car followed this and reached the end, but landed in front of a Taoist palace standing on the top of the cliff.
A Taoist priest in his twenties, with black eyes and black hair, and a posture like a lonely pine and jade tree stood there to greet him.
When he saw the two people coming up from the car, he shouted, "Two court officials, Fang Jinglin is polite here."
Zhang Yu and Wu Tingzhi also bowed and said, "Fellow Taoist Fang, you are polite."
Zhang Yu looked at this person a few times at this time. Although this person looked gentle and polite with a smile, he had heard many rumors about this person in the past and knew that this person was actually quite powerful. This time he took the initiative to invite them.
I guess I have some intention behind it.
After a few polite words with the two of them, Taoist Fang invited them into the palace. After the host and guest were seated, he ordered people to serve fragrant tea.
Zhang Yu noticed that some of the tea leaves belonged to the Yuan Xia Dynasty and were part of the batch brought back.
Out of courtesy, Wu Tingzhi only took a brief sip, then put down the tea cup and said in a deep voice: "Fellow Taoist Fang, when you sent someone to invite me, did you say that you had a way to solve Xuan Ting's problem?"
Taoist Fang smiled and said: "That's right. I also heard about Kang and Lu. I also knew that the two court officials came here just to clean up these latent cultivators above the sea of clouds. Don't let this happen."
It happens again."
Wu Tingzhi did not hide anything and said: "This time I am indeed entrusted by Xuan Ting to discuss my interests with all my colleagues."
Taoist Fang nodded, then shook his head and said: "The truth is correct, and Fang also supports it, but have you ever thought about it..."
He looked at the two of them with a slightly solemn expression and said: "When Xuanting allocated the land of Yunhai to our generation for cultivation, he made various promises. Now these promises are still in his ears. If they are forced to join the world,
, it will certainly cause conflict among many of our colleagues.”
