Chapter 0881 - Spread the word
The mountain range in the southwest of Daqin is called Qinling, because from a distance, the main vein is very much like an immortal who is drunk and lying on the earth, so it is also called Woxian Ridge, this Woxian Ridge is northeast, there are three cities, one big and two small, the big one is called the ancestral city, I heard that it is the ancestral land of the Great Qin royal family, the first emperor was born and raised here, and he rose up, overthrew the previous dynasty in one fell swoop, established the Great Qin, and the nobles and martial arts of the Great Qin, there are also many from here.
So there are a lot of legends here, what the first emperor mountain, the first emperor platform, the first emperor cave, exaggerated, has been unable to distinguish the truth, because of this relationship, although the ancestral city is not the important city of Daqin, but also built quite prosperous, every year often there are the rewards of the imperial court, used to repair the ancestral temple, the city, the road, every time the new emperor ascends the throne, will be exempted from taxes, so the people here live a very nourishing life.
The ancestral city is located between the Woxian Ridge and the hinterland of Daqin, there are often monks and caravans coming and going, the main road in the city is built wide and large, almost comparable to the capital, the city is full of traffic, the annual toll paid is a sum of silver comparable to taxes, and because it is close to the Woxian Ridge, the people here are accustomed to seeing the people in the mountains, for the sect in the mountains, they can also count seven, seven, eighty, eight, and eight, every time someone has a sword for nine days, or when the purple gas comes to the west, it can not arouse the interest of the people, just glance at it casually, have eyesight, and guess which sect of the immortals this is, put it on in front of foreign businessmen or family members who come to visit relatives from afarγ
After all, it's something I'm used to.
Today, this ancestral city is quite lively, and there is one thing being discussed up and down, and most of the city is full of rumors.
Kujian Mountain was rewarded with nine golden plaques, and the officials in charge were already on the way, and they would arrive soon.
Nine doors gold plaque!
Everyone who heard it thought that they had heard it wrong, and even the monks stationed in the city in Kujian Mountain were full of surprise, although I Kujian Mountain was harmonious with Great Qin on the surface, but in my heart I had always disdained the imperial court, when was I eligible to get these nine golden plaques? From which idiot did this nonsense rumor come from?
But before they could wonder, the streets and alleys of the Ancestral City were plastered with notices.
"It's true!"
The onlookers were eating melons lively, and some people were reading while watching, "....... Slash demons with a sword, save the people from fire and water, benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled, and can be called an example of monks!" The man paused, his face suspicious, "Benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled?
Kujian Mountain is also high on weekdays, rarely interacting with mortals, and there is nothing wrong with saying that it is a decent sect, but it is said that it is benevolent and righteous...... I'm afraid that even the people of Kujian Mountain think that you are mocking him.
"There is still something below," a scholar pointed to the bottom of the notice, and said blankly, "Protect my Great Qin heart, hope to be immortal for thousands of years, guard the will of my Great Qin people, and wish it to last forever...... What do you mean by that?"
"You haven't understood this yet, have you read all the books in the dog's belly?" someone snorted coldly, and the reader was furious, and when he looked back, he saw that it was a martial artist with a big waist and a round waist, who was holding his hands on his chest, and said with an unkind expression, "This is not clear that you want to form an alliance with Dry Sword Mountain." β
"Ignorance!" the scholar snorted angrily, "Who doesn't know what this means? I'm asking why the imperial court said that!
"Xu is the imperial court is dizzy," the martial artist mocked in his tone, "The Nine Gates of Gold Plaque can be given to Kujian Mountain, and I am not afraid of chilling the hearts of the Bai family, and I am not afraid of chilling the hearts of thousands of soldiers!"
"Bold, you are secretly satirizing the princes of the court, and your majesty!
"It's all this mess that you scholars have done!"
The two of them kept arguing, and almost started to move in front of the notice.
Such scenes appeared all over the Ancestral City, oh no, in all parts of Great Qin, and under the arrangement of King Anjiang, almost every city posted the same notice, causing a great sensation.
"What the hell is going on? Emperor Shenwu is crazy?"
In a small building in the southeast of the ancestral city, an elder of the Dry Sword Mountain sat at the top, anxiously asking a few disciples below.
A group of disciples looked at each other, and finally a leading arch said, "The disciple has checked for a long time, and learned from Vice General Wang that this notice was posted by the imperial court, and there is indeed such a thing, the golden plaque and the holy decree of the nine gates are on the way, and they will come to my mountain gate tomorrow, I heard that the person in charge is named Luo Fengming, who is a director of the household department, and is from the Luo family in the capital." β
"Do you really want to give us the Nine Gates Golden Plaque?" the elder frowned, "Is that the demon slaying thing true?"
"I've already sent someone to the sect to ask. β
"No need to ask, it's indeed true," another disciple suddenly interjected, "It's Elder Chu of the Heart Sword Hall who slays the demon, I have a good relationship with his disciple, two or three months ago, he mentioned this matter to me, but those demon clans are not high, and they are not a rare race, and the strongest is only the Kongming Realm, but they just happened to break into Great Qin and were beheaded by Elder Chu who passed by, which is not worth mentioning, so even Elder Chu himself didn't care much about this matter." β
"No wonder I haven't heard of it," the elder rubbed his eyebrows, "Great Qin actually gave the Nine Gates Golden Plaque for this matter......
"I'm afraid there is fraud. "There are disciples who have a lot of thoughts.
"What's the deception here?" someone wondered, "just a few plaques, and it's not a rare elixir." β
"You don't understand, the Nine Gates Golden Plaque has a symbolic meaning," the elder shook his head, "I'm afraid this matter will cause dissatisfaction in the Xuan Miao Sect." β
The group of disciples fell silent, and after a while, the leading disciple said, "Is this a divisive plan?"
"It should be right," the elder said coldly, "This Shenwu Emperor is planning to play yin. β
"But such a crude discord plan may not work. β
"I still have to remind the sect, send someone to inform the sect. The elder commanded.
The leading disciple thought for a while, "Do you want to suggest that the sect not accept the golden plaque of the nine gates?"
The elder was silent, a little hesitant, "I'm afraid this is not good, the notice has already been posted, and rejecting the Nine Gates Golden Plaque now is equivalent to slapping Emperor Shenwu in the face in public, I am afraid that it will cause the anger of the court and the people." β
"Then there will only be one word with the Xuan Miao Sect, saying that this is Daqin's discordant plan, so that they don't misunderstand. β
"That's not bad," the elder nodded, "add this to the secret report to the sect." β
"Yes. β
The elder snorted lightly, slightly relieved, since he understood what the other party was doing, then he was not worried, he leaned back and began to enjoy the spiritual tea.
But before he could take a few sips, a hurried footsteps came from downstairs, he raised his head, and a disciple rushed up in a hurry, "Elder, something is wrong!"
"What's the matter?" the elder chuckled inwardly.
"There are rumors in the city, in the city," the disciple's voice was hurried, "saying that Great Qin wants to establish my Dry Sword Sect as the state religion!"
Like a thunderbolt exploding, the elder's hand shook, and half of the spiritual tea was spilled, dumbfounded.
