Time passed in a hurry, six years passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the twentieth year of the emperor's reign.

At this time, Wu Houling can no longer be described as prosperous, it should be said that it is the pearl of the entire south and the economic center of the land south of the Yangtze River.

The spacious and solid official road is full of people and cars, the villages along the way are full of blue bricks and black tiles, the small shops at the head of the village are bustling and noisy, and the towns are even more prosperous and lively.

There are many shops, all industries are thriving, merchants from the north and south are dancing in dialects, pedestrians are all dressed in strong suits, their steps are calm and brisk, and the streets and alleys are wafting with the fragrance of various wines and special foods and snacks.

When outsiders arrive in the territory of Wuhou, they will be shocked by the prosperity and cleanliness here, especially the neat and clean sanitary environment, which makes a deep impression on outsiders.

There is no domestic garbage everywhere in the city on the street, and the strange thing is that there is no small radish head running around and screaming, and the street is both prosperous and orderly, giving people a very good impression.

Of course, if an outsider asks, the locals will naturally tell him that the children in the city are exercising and playing in the nearby Scout camp.

As for what a scout is, you have to have an in-depth understanding of the system of Wuhou's territory.

In the major cities and towns of Wuhou Ling, there is no shortage of goods from the north and south, only what you can't think of, there is no mass goods that you haven't seen, and you can enjoy the common food and clothing goods in the whole Great Sui in one place, which is definitely a rare thing in this era.

Another impression that Wu Houling gave to outsiders was that the traffic here was smooth.

The major towns are not only connected by spacious and solid official roads, but also have different official roads between towns and villages, whether you take the No. 11 bus or ride a horse, you can reach your destination quickly and lightly in any place.

There are also four-wheeled buses and horse-drawn carriages with fixed time in the city, and there are also short- and long-distance four-wheeled carriages with fixed departure rounds outside the city, and the travel traffic can be described as the first in the Great Sui.

Not only is it convenient to have land transportation, but also water transportation.

There are canals or natural rivers connecting the major towns, and only a medium-sized boat can easily detour around the entire territory, and there is no region in the entire Great Sui that can compare with the developed and convenient waterway transportation in the Wuhou territory.

It is also a paradise for warriors, among the towns and even villages, the most lively place is where the Wumeng branch is located, which is generally vast and divided into several floors.

The main hall on the first floor and many side halls are the places where you can take tasks and negotiate directly with the gold owner, and behind it is the arena and level assessment institutions that test the strength of the martial artists.

Upstairs is a restaurant and private rooms, and above is the work of the top leaders of the Wumeng and the storage of important documents.

The Wumeng branch not only has a special counter for receiving and completing tasks, but also the most well-informed place in the rivers and lakes of a city and a place, and at the same time there are regular "Wu Bao" and Wu Houling's characteristic official newspaper sales points, and every day there are many registered heroes in the rivers and lakes to come to inquire about the latest major events in the rivers and lakes.

These methods are obviously used to gather the hearts of the warriors and to promote the territory, and they are obviously the handiwork of Wuhou Leihu, a traverser.

It is true that Wu Houling is a paradise for warriors, but there are very few people in the rivers and lakes who act mischief in the territory, or rely on their strength to run rampant and domineering, even if the large gangs in the southern rivers and lakes are not successful.

In Wu Hou Ling, the Hou Mansion is naturally the only official institution that manages the rivers and lakes under its rule, and then there is the Wu League, as well as a few sects with territorial military backgrounds, foreign forces and dragons crossing the river, even if they have the strength of the grandmaster, they have to be honest, otherwise once they commit a crime, they will immediately flee thousands of miles, and they must always be on guard against the pursuit and killing of the bounty hunters from Wu Hou Ling, otherwise there is no reason to be spared.

On this day, another monk from the Tiantai Sect sent a letter to the Qiantang Hou Mansion, Lei Hu read the letter and threw it aside, and said with a smile to the master Qingxu Lao Dao who was sitting next to him: "Cihang Jingzhai has not given up yet, and once again invited me to go to Emperor Ta Peak to read the Cihang Sword Codex!" ”

The older the Qingxu Old Dao gets, the more immortal Dao bones become, his head is full of gray hair, his face is ruddy, and his body is full of clear energy, and it is obvious that his Dao skills have been cultivated to a very high level.

This is a matter of course, and as the influence of the territory grows, more and more Taoist classics are collected through various means.

With Lei Hu's almost heavenly and human-like divine soul realm, although he did not cultivate the Dao Sect Divine Skills that he had collected, it did not prevent him from integrating the Dao Gong classics resources in his hands with a commanding vision.

In addition, Louguan Dao took the initiative to get closer, and various copies of the core Dao collection of Yin Zi's lineage of the Laojun faction arrived, and there were Taoist masters who had cultivated the Tao and other Taoist masters such as the Ten Elders of Tiangu who came to talk about the Tao.

To sum up, Lei Hu gradually realized a set of authentic Daomen qi cultivation and qi training methods with a high realm.

With the harmony of yin and yang in the true lineage of the Taoist ancestors as the backbone, and filling in the theories and means of the rest of the branches of the Daomen, this method of nourishing qi and practicing qi created is the Xuangong of the Daomen with the root of the seedlings, taking the human body as the furnace, taking all things in heaven and earth as the nourishment, and the spirit casting the perfect Dao body for the furnace fire, so as to achieve the wonderful realm of unity with heaven and man, and the pursuit is the ethereal road of eternal life.

This skill is called "Yin and Yang Forging Body Skill", and after it was created, he voluntarily became the first guinea pig to cultivate, but the effect was surprisingly good.

"Yin and Yang Forging Body Gong" combines Taoist wisdom, as well as many forging concepts of inner boxing, and combines movement and stillness with yin and yang manifestation, which is a supreme foundation building Xuangong that leads directly to the avenue of heaven and man.

Qingxu Old Dao has been cultivating for nearly two years, and it is only a small success at the moment, but the original old body function has been greatly improved, and it has been maintained at a peak state that can be beared.

Even his own internal cultivation, with the help of such body casting Xuan Gong, broke through in one fell swoop and reached the late innate stage, and the meridian gang of the true lineage of the Dao Ancestor was not far from Dacheng.

If it weren't for the fact that he was brave and fierce when he was young, he participated in many confrontations between the Holy Gate and the Buddhist Gate, and his physical potential was greatly depleted, he would have been a half-step grandmaster at this time.

That's it, the Qingxu Old Dao has also greatly improved his Dao skills, and even the Ten Elders of Tiangu are not weaker than the inferior in the slightest, and he is actually a veritable Dao leader in the territory.

"Buddhism is this, I'm a little anxious!"

Qingxu Lao Dao said leisurely: "The prince they assisted was deposed, and this is a delicate time, so naturally I don't want the Dao Sect to take the opportunity to rise!" ”

It is said that after years of planning, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, finally pulled the crown prince Yang Yong off the horse in this year and sat on the throne of the prince of the Great Sui.

The court has a close connection with the rivers and lakes, Cihang Jingzhai has always supported the crown prince Yang Yong before, but he didn't expect Yang Yong to lose so quickly, and before Cihang Jingzhai launched a strong network to save the situation, he was directly deposed by Emperor Yang Jian of Sui and imprisoned in the former prince's mansion.

Among the forces that supported the ascendancy of King Yang Guang of the Jin Dynasty, the Holy Gate Yin Kui Sect was one of the main forces, and naturally knew a lot of palace secrets and court secrets.

With the relationship between Lei Hu and the Yin Kui Sect, it is not difficult to find out.

It seems that the crown prince Yang Yong was knocked down by Yang Guang and Yang Su and other important ministers, and several sinister and vicious combination punches, but Lei Hu has a different opinion.

Yang Yong has indeed done a lot of unruly things, but for the dignified prince, it is nothing at all, and his biggest problem is that his temperament is too soft.

If it is placed in the Song and Ming dynasties, the emperor's soft temperament is definitely not a bad thing, just like Song Renzong.

But in the Sui Dynasty, which had just ended the confrontation between the two Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties for 400 years, such a character would not have been.

In addition, the Great Sui was not founded properly, and none of the important ministers under him were vegetarians, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were all tigers and wolves who only valued interests and fists.

Cihang Jingzhai supports the crown prince Yang Yong on behalf of Buddhism, which should also be one of the main reasons for Yang Yong's bad luck.

Buddhism supported Yang Jian's establishment of the Great Sui, and he had already eaten his brain, obviously this successful experience made Cihang Jingzhai and the high-level of Buddhism eat the marrow, and they want to come again.

And Yang Yong's temperament is very soft, and the Buddhist monks are all eloquent existences, maybe he will be fooled into what he will be like if he becomes the emperor.

The harm of Buddhism is much more direct and terrifying than that of the family, and I don't see Buddhism since the rise of Liang Wu, how long has it been since there have been two large-scale extermination of Buddha, which shows that Buddhism is very harmful to the interests of the country, and there is an ugly appearance.

With Yang Yong's temperament, how could he have the courage to suppress Buddhism, or even hold up a butcher's knife?

Therefore, in Lei Hu's view, Cihang Jingzhai represents the support of Buddhism, which is not only not a help for Yang Yong, but also one of the biggest points lost.

I don't know if Cihang Jingzhai has reflected, but they obviously did not suffer a blow, so they fell silent or showed weakness a little.

Buddhism is still strong, Cihang Jingzhai is still the leader of the White Dao!

However, obviously, without the support of the next generation of Sui Emperors, the momentum of Buddhism will inevitably decline, and the most likely to seize the opportunity to rise rapidly is naturally the Daomen that has no small influence among the northern high gates.

Among the Daomen, the most influential are none other than the two great grandmasters, one is Ning Daoqi, and the other is Wuhou Lei Hu.

I have to say that the high-level of Cihang Jingzhai is desperate enough, and they are willing to take out the fundamental cheats such as the "Cihang Sword Codex", and want to let the two Daomen masters read and receive the favors, and at the same time disturb the clear Dao hearts of the two Daoist masters.

I just don't know what the situation is on the side of the Sanren Ning Dodger, anyway, this is the third time that Lei Hu has received an invitation.

"The nuns of Cihang Jingzhai don't know what to think, how can I go north at such a time?"

Lei Hu said angrily: "If you really want to be sincere, then get a copy of the Cihang Sword Codex, and I can read it carefully!" ”

Qingxu Lao Dao scolded with a smile: "It's so beautiful, the "Cihang Sword Codex" is one of the four strange books, how can it be possible to give you a set of copies, aren't you afraid of spreading it thoroughly?" ”

"What's the solution?"

Lei Hu said indifferently; "Yang Jian is not only older, but also more murderous, I don't want to go north and ask him to be targeted!"
