Ten years ago, when the last emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty was in power, the prosperity of the Northern Wei Dynasty reached a peak.
Lin Yi also knew something about the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties. While the emperors of the Southern Dynasties were obsessed with practicing Taoism, the emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty were working hard to govern, reform political affairs, and learn Chinese culture.
The purpose of this was of course because the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty was not as large in number as the Han people, and their culture was not as advanced as the Han people.
If the Han people had not experienced continuous internal strife and serious damage to their vitality, they would not have lost the Central Plains.
It is not impossible for the Xianbei people to kill all the Han people. After all, they already rule this place. It is not too troublesome to kill people.
The problem is that killing them will not do them any good. In a country, if there are rulers, then there will be the ruled.
After killing those who are being ruled, who will you rule?
Therefore, usually after the invaders occupy a place, they will gradually change the initial policy of bloody massacre into a policy of gentle rule.
It's not that they have become kind, it's just that they want to maintain their rule.
So from a historical perspective, backward civilization will be assimilated by advanced civilization, but from the perspective of the parties involved, this process is full of blood.
The old man knew that Lin Yi was Han from his accent, so he dared to tell him the cause and effect of the incident. If he were not Han, he would not have been able to speak a word.
"Ten years ago, the governor of Qinzhou was named Tuoba Yu. He was the fourth brother of the Hu emperor. He was a lecherous devil.
I heard that he fell in love with the daughter-in-law of a Han county magistrate, and when he couldn't force her to do so, he passed a decree on his own, saying that the emperor was promoting Chineseization, and the governors of prefectures and counties should set an example.
Therefore, all newly married women must serve at the house of the governor of the state or county for three days."
When Lin Yi heard this, he was stunned.
What kind of bastard logic is this?
Lin Yi, an outsider, felt very angry when he heard it. As a witness to the incident, the old man's voice was choked with sobs.
The Han people are different from the Hu people in that they attach great importance to propriety, justice and integrity, but in the end they are no match for power.
Even the county magistrate who is an official cannot protect his daughter-in-law, let alone ordinary people.
And once the governor of the state speaks, other officials, large and small, either to flatter themselves or to satisfy their own desires, will serve for thirty days, let alone three days.
It is said that it is to promote etiquette, but in fact it is not much different from before. The only difference is that in the past, people were robbed directly, but now they are robbed after setting a law.
Nowadays, their lives are a little more affluent, and there is less cooking and cooking. In comparison, their lives seem to be better.
"Tuobayu is the younger brother of the Hu emperor. Even if the incident happened later, he just changed his official position to another place, but his old subordinates are still here, and they still rob civilian women and go home to play with them.
We ordinary people have no choice. We are lucky that our daughter-in-law can survive, but the bastard in her belly is absolutely infertile.
Therefore, in these ten miles and eight villages, any baby whose date cannot be calculated accurately will be thrown to death as soon as he is born. Even if it is a crime, we will admit it."
At this point, the old man became excited and forgot about the evil spirits.
Once a person is angry, there is no need to be afraid.
Ji Yi's fists were clenched tightly. Just listening to the old man's description made him feel like his hair was standing on end.
This ridiculous law caused so much blood and tears, and how many children were accidentally killed in their infancy.
"The evil is not your fault. Every injustice has its own owner, and every debt has its owner. Since I have heard about this, I will definitely go and seek justice for you!
Please tell me the location of the county government office. If someone asks you later, just say you have never seen me."
Ji Yi could no longer restrain his murderous intention and wanted to go on a killing spree.
His sword has always been used to kill monsters, but now, he just wants to kill people.
As soon as the old man heard this, he knew that Lin Yi was a really capable Jianghu man. When he heard that he was willing to stand up for himself and the people in the village, he immediately knelt down.
"Thank you to the Taoist priest for your help. Thirty miles from the village is the county seat. The county magistrate has a bunch of minions under his command, and they are all fierce. The Taoist priest must be careful."
"Don't worry, since the county magistrate is bullying you like this, I will chop off his claws."
Hearing Ji Yi's words so confidently, the old man raised his head, and Ji Yi in front of him had disappeared.
How could he not know that he really met an expert today.
God is wise, and someone finally came to make the decision for them.
Let's say that Lin Yi traveled against the wind and traveled thirty miles in a matter of minutes.
The night had just fallen, and it was just the time to kill.
Legend has it that the transition between morning and dusk is when demons are most active.
After Lin Yi entered the city, the movement became much quieter, and he began to look for the location of the county government in the city.
The old man only told the location of the county seat, so it would be fine for Lin Yi to find it himself.
Suddenly, he heard someone shouting in the distance.
"Close the city gate and catch the assassin!"
There were shouts and shouts, and Ji Yi also heard the sound of gusts of wind and the sound of footsteps lightly stepping on the tiles, which should be caused by the assassin who was being chased.
"Official officials are like fish to the common people. They should be punished according to their crimes. Don't pursue them anymore, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword."
Yo, are you meeting a colleague?
Ji Yi didn't know the outcome of the assassin's assassination, but no matter who the assassin was, if he said these words to him, Ji Yi would go over to help.
He carefully lurked and chased in the direction of the assassin.
Soon, he saw the assassin. He was a man in sackcloth and a mask. He was walking through the streets and alleys, climbing over eaves and walls to avoid pursuing soldiers. He looked like a martial artist rather than a Qi practitioner.
I saw the man running into an alley, and suddenly a strange man appeared in front of him. He had fluffy hair, a few black lines of unknown meaning on his face, and was wearing a small leopard print vest, showing his strong muscles.
This outfit is quite sexy.
The weirdo blocked the assassin's path, and several warriors blocked his retreat. On the left and right walls, more than a dozen archers bent their bows and set arrows.
Obviously, the assassins were surrounded.
The disheveled weirdo is the county magistrate's worshiper, a unique practitioner of the Northern Wei Dynasty, a barbarian shaman.
The Hu people do not practice the Way of Heaven, but they also have their own system of force.
They advocate obtaining power from blood, but this obtainment is given by the gods.
Man refers to brute force, and witch refers to the mysterious power obtained by praying to the gods.
There are three levels of barbarian witches, namely, small witch, big witch, and high priest.
The combat power of a small witch is equivalent to that of a ninth- to fourth-level Qi practitioner, while a big witch is equivalent to a second- or third-level Qi practitioner, and the Great Sacrifice is equivalent to a first-level warrior.
The cultivation systems are different, and the correspondence is not completely accurate, nor can it be directly determined as combat power, but it is roughly close.
The barbarian witch in charge is a young witch named He Zhang. Although he is a young witch, he is enough to deal with ordinary people.
"The assassins of the Qinghong Gang are becoming more and more bold. They dare to assassinate the county magistrate. Thanks to the great witch for planning the plan, otherwise you would have succeeded today."
He Zhang held a thick bone stick in his hand and looked at the assassin as if he were looking at a pile of meat.
The assassin probably knew that it would be difficult to escape today, so he felt a little more heroic in the desperate situation.
"Barbarians who are inferior to pigs and dogs bully my descendants of the Han family. If you can kill one of me today, in the future there will be thousands of good men of our Han family who will wipe out your clan!"
"Hahaha……"
The assassin's words made He Zhang laugh wildly.
"Are you still waiting for the descendants of the Han family to conquer the mountains and rivers? Little do you know that your Han court has completely given up on you. They are busy fighting among themselves and have no time to take care of you.
In the future, this world will definitely be owned by me, the Great Wei Dynasty, and you will all be nothing but beasts!"
The assassin was furious when he heard this and stabbed He Zhang with his sword.
His swordsmanship is exquisite, like a snake coming out of its hole. However, He Zhang dances with the bone stick and opens and closes it. No matter how clever you are, if you swing the stick and hit it, you will have to block it.
You need to know that this sword is more agile and versatile, but it lacks a lot of strength. How can it be the opponent of a bone club.
Being able to fight for several rounds shows that this sword is a good treasure.
Naturally, Lin Yi will not sit idly by and pursue a limit.
When the two were fighting, he quietly came to the battlefield.
He Zhang was waving the stick freely, and when he suddenly swung it out, he could no longer take it back.
I saw an old Taoist priest appeared on the field at some point, and his big stick was held in his hand.
The old Taoist priest just held the big stick lightly and held it.
He Zhang tried his best, but he couldn't move at all. How could he not know that he was meeting an expert?
Immediately, he dropped the stick and ordered: "Fire the arrow!"
The archers who had been prepared all over the highlands shot out arrows in unison, covering both Ji Yi and the assassins in the rain of arrows.
Ji Yi didn't panic at all. He had experienced a real volley of thousands of arrows. Xiao Zhao's thousands of elites were even more powerful than these.
Lin Yi only felt that these arrows were soft and not threatening.
But since they shot the arrow, Lin Yi should give them some response.
"go back!"
He stirred up his true energy with one hand, then pushed it with his hand. The arrows were reflected back at a faster speed, and dozens of archers were instantly wiped out.
He Zhang was not stupid. When he saw that Lin Yi was difficult to deal with, he immediately turned around and ran away. He also called on the warriors with swords to stand behind him.
Lin Yi sneered and smashed He Zhang's big stick over, and wow, there was a pool of He Zhang sauce on the ground.
Those warriors who were summoned by He Zhang to serve as his rearguard, before they even got close to Ji Yi, their boss became a mess. For a while, they didn't know what to do.
But fear still defeated everything. Facing Ji Ji, who was like a murderous god, they howled, turned around and ran away.
Lin Yi's eyes were cold and stern, and he was about to use his sword energy to kill them all, but he was unexpectedly caught by the person next to him.
"Friend Taoist, please wait!"
"What do you mean?"
Ji Yi didn't like people who hindered him, but because he was a righteous man, Ji Yi forgave him.
"Fellow Taoist, don't be angry. They have fled. You should kill them with Taoist methods, or they may suffer backlash."
When Lin Yi heard this, he was a little surprised and said, "Are you also a Taoist?"
The assassin then took off his turban, revealing his resolute and upright face underneath.
"Wang Wei, a poor Taoist, has met a fellow Taoist.
I am indeed a cultivator, and I have also entered the realm of three flowers. This time, I named myself Ling Yun in order to assassinate the magistrate of Qingshui County. I am ashamed to say that although I have been preparing for a long time, the assassination was not successful. If it were not for Taoist friends
Please save me, Pindao is dead now."
Wang Wei registered his own surname. Lin Yi was a little curious after hearing what he said, and asked: "Why do you want to call yourself Lingyun?"
In the realm of three flowers, the weakest are the third-grade monks. The third-grade human race may not be that valuable, but it is not like cabbage can be found everywhere, and it is impossible to be that weak.
As for Wang Wei's performance just now, he was at best an ordinary martial arts master, and was even bullied by a little witch. This may be related to the sealing of Ling Yun.
Lin Yi's question made Wang Wei stunned for a moment.
Why seal Lingyun... isn't this common sense?
But he thought about it carefully and reacted quickly.
"Is it possible that my fellow Taoist is not a Northland monk?"
Ji Yi didn't expect that just such a question would expose his geographical origin, but now that he was found out, he didn't bother to hide it anymore, and frankly admitted: "I am indeed from the south."
"That's it. Fellow Taoists in the Southern Dynasties probably don't need to kill officials, so naturally they don't need to use this method of sealing their own spiritual essence."
Seeing that Lin Yi was really curious, Wang Wei simply told Lin Yi to stop talking, so as to prevent Lin Yi from doing the reckless thing he just did.
You can tell from Lin Yi's righteous actions that he is a good man, and it doesn't hurt to let him know their secrets.
"Fellow Taoists should know that the mortal world is extremely poisonous to us as Taoists. Once contaminated, many disasters will occur. The luck of the court will not be affected at all, let alone killing officials with Taoism."
Ji Yi nodded, he still understood this bit of common sense.
When he wanted to kill Xiao Zhao, a bunch of people stopped him, fearing that his luck would backfire.
"The North is different from the Southern Dynasty. Here, it is common for officials and bullies to prey on the common people and harm the countryside. If fellow Taoists see it, can they ignore it?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Of course not!"
Lin Yi's praise is very suitable for Wang Wei.
He pulled Lin Yi and continued: "Although we monks are called outsiders and ignore the disputes in the world, after all, we are still of Han blood. Even if we practice the immortal way, we dare not ignore the suffering of our fellow humans.
.
But once you have entered the immortal realm, if you interfere in the secular affairs of the human world, your body and soul will disappear. Faced with such a dilemma, Song Beiyun, the former elder of the Quanzhen Sect, created this method of sealing blood vessels.
Sealing one's own spiritual essence and turning into an ordinary person, with an ordinary body, there will be no taboos."
Ji Yi was stunned on the spot, is there such an operation?
It sounds outrageous, but it actually makes sense.
Just like when He Dong asked him to assassinate Wang Liang, he said that she could not enter the governor's mansion.
A place where a thousand-year-old female ghost cannot enter, but he, a common man, can pass through unimpeded.
In the same way, if he has not yet achieved success in spiritual practice and is just a mortal, and kills the county guard, it will be just an ordinary case, and the court will hunt him down, but there will be no fate that will backfire on him.
Because the methods he used were only commonplace.
The elder Song Beiyun discovered this characteristic and created this method, spreading it throughout the world without charging a penny.
At this point, many Taoist cultivators in the Northern Wei Dynasty had proclaimed themselves Ling Yun and entered the world to eliminate evil.
But sealing Ling Yun is equivalent to tying one's own hands and feet, just like Wang Wei. If it weren't for Ji Yi's help just now, he, a third-grade monk, would have died at the hands of a little guy...
Note: The story of Falling the First Child is about the Yuan Dynasty, and some say it is a rumor. If you are interested, you can learn more about it. The topic is quite sensitive and it is not convenient to say more. I am writing this as a novel, and those who are familiar with it should not take it seriously.
