Chapter Twenty-Three: First Sight (Part II)

After several days of communication, Hong Tiangui and the Taoist priest had a pleasant conversation. In the opinion of Taoist priest Lin Miaoshan, because of the lack of more spiritual energy help, the achievement of practicing qi realm is almost the apex of this era.

In addition to the Maoshan Sect, it is also a very unimaginable fate to be able to meet a few fellow true cultivators who can communicate in the outside world, on the new continent opposite the vast sea and the vast land of Shenzhou.

In addition, in this era of the end of the law, a large number of pre-ancient sects were destroyed, and countless ancient Taoist scriptures and cultivation methods were scattered among the people as antique books.

The innovation of printing and the pursuit of immortality by mortals have led to the massive reproduction and proliferation of these books. To this day, in the vast land of Shenzhou, the cultivation exchanges between real monks, except for the special core theories of a very small number of sects, are no longer as secret and taboo as in the era of the Immortal and Demon Dynasty before the Western Era.

This era, in a sense, for monks, is really a world sandwiched between heaven and hell.

The ancient practice of true practice has never been so devalued, and the aura necessary for cultivation has never been so hard to find!

After several days of exchanges, Hong Tiangui's Taiping Jade Bamboo Slips obtained a large number of oriental transcendent materials related to talismans; And he also shared a lot of Taoist soldiers and body forging methods left by Hong Xiuquan during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period with Taoist priest Lin Miaoshan, and both sides had great gains.

After a few days of exchange, at the suggestion of Hong Tiangui, he and the Taoist priest came to the Taiping School in the Sai School District of Taiping City, which was regarded as relaxing after a few days of practice exchanges.

This is comparable to Hong Tiangui's previous life, the size of the Earth Celestial Empire College, and it is already a huge institution in this era. There were very few young children, after all, with their fragile bodies, they could hardly support the long journey of a slave ship across the ocean.

And the newborn born in this year, the Taiping City Plug, is not yet the time to enter school.

Therefore, most of the students reading aloud outside the classrooms in schools are half-grown children over the age of ten.

"The Tao is the way, the very way; The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. ”

"Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, famous, the mother of all things."

Hong Tiangui and Lin Miaoshan walked on the campus, and the sound of reading the Taoist scriptures in their ears came from time to time, and in the shady environment of the surrounding green trees, it was very chic and artistic.

"Lin Daoyou."

"Speaking of which, what is the situation in Shenzhou now?"

This is the first time that Hong Tiangui has taken the initiative to ask Lin Miaoshan about the situation in the Eastern Country.

"Hey, not good!"

"At the beginning, everyone thought that in the Taiping Demon ······ After the fall of the kingdom of heaven. ”

When Lin Miaoshan said this, he glanced at Hong Tiangui's face with some caution, and after seeing that his complexion had not changed, he continued softly.

"The imperial court should be able to innovate and strive to become strong, rise up to strengthen the national strength, and drive the foreign enemies of the 17 Western Barbarian countries out of the vast land of Shenzhou."

"But I didn't expect that the braided people led by the Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly usurped power and seized the throne and abolished the Guangxu Heavenly Son who intended to change the law."

"Before I came to the New World, the situation in the imperial court was already in chaos, and the reformist Chinese officials were ······ in a big way."

The invasion of the 17 Western Barbarians brought with them the media and newspapers of the Western civilized world.

And those newspapers with a Western background, especially those published in the concessions, did not care about the warnings of the local bureaucrats of the imperial court, and spread a large number of hidden upper-level struggles in the past to the entire Shenzhou.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Miaoshan can talk about Peipei.

In Lin Miaoshan's statement, although Shenzhou's Daqing successfully suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom founded by Hong Tiangui's father, it did not bring prestige to this victory to continue the reform of enriching the country and strengthening the army, but drove backwards in great strides.

In the "Five Costume Ritual Law" of the former ancient Zhou Dynasty, it was the powerful members of the people who braided the hair for the "deserted clothes" of Zhuxia, and attempted to take back the interests that were divided to the Chinese officials because of the suppression of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom under the leadership of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

And the Chinese officials, who had already gained a lot of military power benefits in the suppression of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, naturally refused to give up.

The abolition of Emperor Guangxu, who supported the reform, intensified the contradictions between the two sides, and now the upper echelons of the vast land of Shenzhou can be said to be fighting fiercely.

"Hey!"

After listening to Lin Miaoshan's story, Hong Tiangui also let out a sigh of concern for the country and the people on the surface.

"It's a pity that I'm far away on the other side of the ocean."

"I can only do my best to help my compatriots who have been deceived into coming to the New World."

He didn't feel pity at all, and even wanted to laugh a little.

In "Taipingism", the old bureaucrats of Daqing, who had braided hair and aristocrats and feudal Chinese, were all his class enemies!

Cannibalism between enemies, how can we be at the helmsman of the Peacekeepers? Something obviously impossible!

Hong Tiangui can't wait to take the lead in the charge, and it is best to use the sentence that his body Edward saw with the main god back then, and the famous words of the Empress Dowager Cixi to the ministers of the braided hair, "Rather be friends than house slaves", spread all over the world, so that all the Chinese people who bowed down to the Daqing court could understand the true face of the braided royal family!

"Forehead ······"

Because Hong Tiangui didn't want to hide it at all, he had already guessed that the Taoist friend in front of him was Lin Miaoshan, who was the identity of the Taiping relics, and when he heard Hong Tiangui's words, he could only smile awkwardly.

She didn't know the true face of the braided person, and she hadn't separated from the Daqing Imperial Court, she was really a little worried about Hong Tiangui in front of her, so she ran back to Shenzhou again to stir up the wind and rain, and said quickly.

"The forces of my fellow Daoists and the fortress have already embarked on the right path."

"And in this land far away from China, there are too many compatriots in need of help."

"I don't know the poor Dao, is there anything that can help the Daoists?"

Lin Miaoshan meant to remind Hong Tiangui that you have already laid a foundation here, and there are still many yellow slaves here who need to be rescued, so don't go back to Shenzhou to cause chaos, and the last question is just a humble word.

The implied meaning in the words of the handsome Taoist priest in front of him, Hong Tiangui could naturally understand that in the ancient East, now was not the time for him to interfere arbitrarily.

Compared with the Daqing Imperial Court, which has not collapsed, from the information sent back by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Esalius City in the past six months, the information analyzed by him and your rulers, as well as the Taiping Central Instrument, that the United States of America is likely to break out a civil war between the north and the south is undoubtedly more important, once it really happens, then ······

However, Lin Miaoshan's last humble words also hit Hong Tiangui's heart.

The huge Alchemy Array of the America Railway Land, if you don't figure out the role one day, it will make Hong Tiangui feel related in one day.

"There is indeed something that needs the help of Taoist friends!"

Hong Tiangui bowed his hand and saluted Lin Miaoshan again······

——————————————

Just when our Hong Tiangui was about to fool Taoist priest Lin Miaoshan and help him find the secret behind the alchemy array of the railway land.

For a long time, the Taiping City Fortress has plundered the yellow slave ships on the Taiping Ocean, and it seems that it has finally attracted the attention of some dark forces.

"My lord, the Rum Shipping Company has lost 8 yellow slave ships this year."

"The Mons steamship company also lost 5 yellow slave ships."

"The Schust Shipping Group has lost the most, with all 17 yellow slave ships missing this year."

"On the contrary, it is their black slave ship, which has always been within the normal range of wear and tear."

Westham Charlie, the No. 3 official of the American Department of Internal Revenue, who is considered to be a powerful figure in the United States, is taking advantage of his vacation to secretly go to a secluded blood estate only 20 kilometers away from the halls of the National Assembly.

In front of the dim candlelight, he knelt down under the seat of a pale, handsome middle-aged blood clan, and reported respectfully.

"My lord, I suspect that someone has discovered our scheme."

"Do you want to suspend the transportation of yellow slaves for a period of time?"

However, Westham's suggestion was rejected by the middle-aged blood clan.

"No, we need more yellows for our plan!"

"Only in their bodies can they refine ······"

The words behind the middle-aged bloodclan gradually faded until Westham couldn't hear clearly, and the middle-aged bloodclan also seemed to fall into deep thought with his words.

There was silence throughout the room.

It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that the middle-aged blood clan spoke again and ordered directly.

"My servant!"

"Mobilize more shipping companies to transport the Yellow Slaves, don't care about the loss of those money!"

"We need more yellow people, more Chinese people!"

"As for who is stopping us, it's none other than those blue-blooded nobles or the Brotherhood."

"I'm going to make people ······"
