Chapter Forty-Six: Unexpected Troubles
readx; Hangu Pass is tens of thousands of miles away from the imperial capital of Qin, even if you ride a camel day and night, it will take more than ten days to reach the imperial capital of Qin, and now there is still more than half a month before the martial arts of Qin, and the time is quite urgent, so Lin Yuan and his party don't care about staying in a hotel on the road, and generally only after a long time of traveling, they will find a nearby city to find an inn to rest for a while, and then continue to ride the camel day and night.

After all, Bailu Academy is not as wealthy as Tianwu Academy or Qingteng Academy, although it is the head of the eight major academies, but there are thousands of disciples to feed under the door, not to mention anything else, just maintaining the operation of the spirit tower requires a large amount of spirit stones, if it weren't for Jiang Lao selling some pill talismans from time to time to subsidize the inner treasury of the academy, I'm afraid that Bailu Academy would not have been able to keep the title of the head of the eight academies for a long time.
This time, Elder Liu brought the disciples in the courtyard to the Emperor of the Qin State to participate in the martial arts, whether it was accommodation or the Linggu Spirit Rice that everyone eats daily, it required a lot of expenses, and it was necessary to leave a sum of money to pay for the soldiers of the Qin State Guard's Mansion, after deducting these expenses, the remaining money was enough for everyone to rent a mountain camel in the early stage of the Void God Realm to travel, although many of the new disciples of these academies were children of the family, with their own small treasury, and they could afford to rent the demon beasts at the peak of the Void God Realm and even the three realms of refining gods, but there was Lin Yuan, who paid for the transportation of demon beasts by himselfAs an example, no one was embarrassed to propose that they would pay to rent a more advanced demon beast, lest they be classified as a disciple like Lin Yuan.
When everyone hurried to the imperial capital of the Qin State, many disciples with poor cultivation fell into a state of extreme fatigue, and almost collapsed in the guest room as soon as they entered the inn, recovering from the fatigue caused by running all the way by falling into a deep rest.
Lin Yuan had a lot of rest along the way, because the cultivation of the mountain camel he was riding had reached the late stage of the Void God Realm, and the cultivation was much higher than the mountain camel that others were riding, and he didn't have to worry about being left behind, so Lin Yuan simply bought a carriage when he was resting halfway, put it on the mountain camel to form a camel cart, and lay on the camel cart and followed the camel team to the imperial capital of the Qin State.
Since everyone traveled day and night all the way, there was still a whole week left when they arrived at the imperial capital of Qin, which was enough for everyone to recover their physical strength and familiarize themselves with the environment, Lin Yuan stayed in the inn very honestly and recalled the comprehension when he watched the "Tao Te Ching", and on this way, Lin Yuan had been consulting the "Tao Te Ching" while lying on the camel cart Although there is not much gain, but it also takes this opportunity to break through to the realm of the Broken Pill Ninefold, but since then, whether it is to make a breakthrough on the Broken Pill Ninefold, or to enter the Void God Realm, it will not be as easy as before, among the many realms of cultivation, the Broken Pill Ninefold is a dividing line, since then, cultivators with insufficient talent want to take a step, they need to spend a great price, and countless geniuses need to treasure the pill rune seal to make it cultivate to the next level, and for the part of the monks with outstanding talents, the time required to break through the realm has become much longer than beforeOnly the handful of Tianjiao who have both talent and financial support can continue to make steady progress on the path of cultivation......
In addition to the need to comprehend the content of the "Tao Te Ching", Lin Yuan also has to spend time to practice the spear of breaking the army, it is not easy to control a high-grade Dao weapon, even a Fusion God Realm monk like Zhao Xingji is difficult to completely control a high-grade Dao weapon, only a cultivator of the Divine Domain Realm who condenses the Divine Domain can completely exert the power of a high-grade Dao weapon. With Lin Yuan's current cultivation, he can only be slightly urged through training, and the power he can exert is less than one.
The Broken Army Dao Spear comes with three types of Dao techniques, and only the simplest type of the first type "Sunset Arc Light" Lin Yuan can barely perform it, as for the second type of "Thousand Men Unstoppable" and the third type of "Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat", they are just sorting out some clues, and they are still far from being able to really perform it.
It's a pity that Lin Yuan's days of retreat and penance were interrupted not long after, to be precise, it was Elder Liu of the Outer Court who had a problem when he submitted the list of contestants.
It stands to reason that White Deer Academy, as the head of the eight major academies, should always have some privileges, and it is not a big deal to temporarily add one person before the martial arts competition, but I didn't expect that the list submitted by Elder Liu was rejected by the people of the Wei Mansion, and it was insisted that the list of participants in White Deer Academy should not exceed the specified eight people.
Although Elder Liu was annoyed, there was nothing he could do, the affairs related to the martial arts of the Qin State were generally taken care of by the Wei Mansion under the jurisdiction of Ming Wei, not to mention that he was a cultivator of the Divine Realm, even if he was a cultivator of the Fusion Divine Realm and even the Divine Domain Realm, it was difficult for him to speak in front of the Wei Mansion.
Although Bailu Academy is the head of the eight academies, it does not have much real power in the Great Qin Empire, and it can only stare at the embarrassment from the military, and the Bailu Academy itself is not particularly reasonable, even if it is embarrassed by the Wei Mansion, Elder Liu can only pull down his old face and come to the door again and again, thinking that he may meet a good official one day.
As for giving gifts, Elder Liu had also thought about it, but if he wanted to give it, someone had to dare to accept it, and in the end, a little servant of the Wei Mansion couldn't see it, and secretly told Elder Liu the truth of the matter. The reason why no one in the entire Wei Mansion dared to accept his gift was because of Liu Zhixia, the deputy commander of the Wei Mansion, the deputy commander of the Wei Mansion was a member of the Liu family, and the Li family where Li Dongyang was located was a feud, the laws of the Qin State were strict, and the country was ruled by law, if the White Deer Academy honestly handed over the list of eight people in accordance with the regulations, Liu Zhixia would never dare to violate the laws of the Great Qin and use his power to embarrass the White Deer Academy, but the White Deer Academy did not conform to the rules in the first place, although it was possible to be accommodating according to the convention, but if Liu Zhixia insisted on following the rules and refused to be accommodating, he would never violate the laws of the Great Qin, even if this matter ended up with the Emperor of Great Qin, Liu Zhixia also stands.
Elder Liu was so helpless that he saw that the martial arts was about to be held, but the list had not been submitted for a long time, so he had to run to the middle of the inn, Li Dongyang and Ke Yan and several other disciples with more backgrounds gathered and discussed for a long time, but in the end they still didn't discuss any solution.
The Wei Mansion is subordinate to Ming Wei in the upper three guards, and his direct boss is Zhao Guowei, the supreme governor of Ming Wei, although most of these disciples of Bailu Academy are children of the family, but those so-called families are placed in the imperial capital of the Qin State, which can be said to be a big handful, where can the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven who controls the imperial capital of the Qin State and the powerful Zhao Guowei in the imperial capital speak in front of Zhao Guowei? Even if you want to pull people to do things, it is very difficult to do it.
In the end, Li Dongyang stood up: "Although the Liu family and our Li family are feuding, in terms of seniority, he Liu Zhixia is my elder after all, it's a big deal that I go to him to lower my posture and plead for mercy, presumably he won't really care about my junior." ”
Hearing his words, Ke Yan on the side suddenly became anxious: "How can this be? If you leave a demon in your heart because of this in the future, then Brother Li, your cultivation path will be ruined in one fell swoop!"
Most of the cultivators are arrogant, they regard face as more important than anything else, and they plead with the enemy in a low voice, and this kind of thing is unwilling to do death for many monks, if they leave the shadow of the demon in their hearts because of this, then not only will their cultivation not go well in the future, but more importantly, when they cross the heart tribulation in the future, there will be a phantom of the heart and demons of this matter, which will make it more difficult to survive the heart tribulation that is already nine deaths.
At this moment, a young-looking young man stood up and said to Li Dongyang: "Senior Brother Li, if I quit this martial arts, anyway, with my ten-fold cultivation, even if I participate, I may not be able to get any good rankings, so I will simply withdraw from this martial arts and vacate the quota, so that Deputy Commander Liu Zhixia will not be able to come up with a reason to embarrass us." ”
"How can this be done? Even if you can't get a good ranking in the martial arts, you can still get a name in the Wei Mansion, and if you want to get an errand in the Wei Mansion or even the military department in the future, it will be much easier, how can you give up such an opportunity?"
In the end, Ke Yan secretly came to Lin Yuan's room while everyone was arguing, explained the origin of the matter, and then pleaded: "Senior Brother Lin, I don't know if you have any elders in the clan who can speak in the Wei Mansion......
Lin Yuan smiled bitterly: "Senior Brother Ke, although my family was also prominent in the early years, due to some reasons, it has long been dilapidated now, where can there be relatives in the Great Qin Emperor Capital......
Speaking of this, Lin Yuan paused suddenly, looked at Ke Yan's pleading gaze and sighed: "Although this matter is said to be caused by Senior Brother Li, in the final analysis, it still has to be counted on my head, so let's go to the Wei Mansion with you, and try it as a dead horse doctor, if it doesn't work, Senior Brother, I will spend some spirit stones out of my own pocket to go to Mingwei to do some work, there will always be a way." ”
So, Lin Yuan followed Ke Yan and Elder Liu to the Wei Mansion in the Great Qin Imperial Capital.
The reason why Lin Yuan agreed to Ke Yan's request was that in addition to the fact that this matter had a relationship with him from the root, he still had a lot of confidence in his heart.
When they were separated from the Spirit Tower, Meng Zhang once gave him a waist card of the Secret Guard Inspector, saying that if he was in trouble in the territory of the Great Qin Empire, he could show this waist card, as long as it was not too much trouble, he could rely on it to solve it.
Although Meng Zhang said that he was a bit of a waste of firewood, but he was still quite good, and the waist card sent out by him as a person in his identity can also play a role in some ways, after all, Meng Zhang's father is an internal history, controlling the three guards of the Qin State, and his status is second only to Da Shangzao, although the waist card sent by the prince of the Meng family may not have much real power, but after all, it represents the majesty of the Meng family, and the deputy commander of the Wei Mansion will not even give this face.
