Cao Jiang Tongzhi Yamen has never been lively, but there have been a lot more officials and businessmen who have come to visit recently.

Because Cao Jiang knew Wang Xianggong, he personally struck and slashed the demon king entrenched at the mouth of Shengyue Lake with a sword.

There were many people who witnessed this demon slaying, including those who surveyed the heavens and eliminated the demons.

According to the previous rules, officials in the DPRK and China practiced spells, which was equivalent to complicity in rebellion, but after the decline of the national fortunes, this kind of thing turned a blind eye.

However, even so, in the eyes of most officials of Beiyang Mansion, Cao Jiang Tongzhi Wang Fubo should be the last person to practice supernatural spells.

Because he is a "messenger of the five tides" and a loyal minister of the imperial court......

"Wang Gong, the corpse of the demon king, the Heaven Survey Prison wants to take it to alchemy medicine, they said that as long as Wang Gong agrees, the conditions will be opened casually."

"What's on?"

Wang Fubo suddenly smiled, "You go and tell them, I want twenty ironclad ships, five hundred pairs of armor, and 50,000 pills for healing pills." Also, there is no shortage of grain in the Sky Survey Prison, and I will have to load fifty grain boats. ”

"Wang Gong ......"

"Do you think I'm making a hard offer?"

"I'm afraid that the Sky Survey Supervisor will definitely not agree."

"It's okay, you just have to reply."

Wang Fubo, who didn't care about this, said with a smile, "The Sky Survey Supervisor is not my boss of Jiang Tongzhi's Yamen, so I ignore it, what can I do?" If I really do it, I'm not afraid of them. ”

"Yes!"

After his subordinates left, Wang Fubo got up, walked to the porch, looked up at the three owls, and took out three pieces of dried meat from his cuffs to feed them, and then asked, "Where is he now?" ”

"Heavenly Soldiers."

"Heavenly General."

"Hunt and kill."

The owl ate the jerky and replied as if it were not the answer.

But Wang Fubo pondered for a while, stroked his beard and said: "It seems that the situation is not very good, but I believe that he did it for a reason." ”

After Wang Fubo thought about it carefully, combined with the recent changes in the world, he faintly guessed that Wei Hao might be waiting for an opportunity.

But what kind of timing?

Recent changes have made it difficult for Wang Fubo to look at problems from the perspective of an ordinary person.

As a fellow knowledge of Cao Jiang, his duty was originally only to manage the safety of the river and the safety of the people, but with the increasing number of non-human demons, the appearance of the present world has become a commonplace.

For example, some beaver spirits, usually do not harm the people, they build nests by the river, Wang Fubo has to salute first and then soldiers, after making sense, these beaver spirits who are kind to people will migrate by themselves.

It doesn't make sense, Wang Fubo will also subdue demons and eliminate demons.

There are also some mass graves and ancient battlefields, all of which are by the river, and after the vicissitudes of life, they have now become reeds or swamps, and when the river is dredged, Wang Fubo has to go to mourn and temper in person.

For example, in the Dry Bone Mountain in the northeast of Wufeng County, he also teamed up with the Skeleton General with the Ring to surpass many undead.

In the past, this was impossible, as an official of the Great Xia court, he only needed to manage people, not non-people.

But where the national fortunes decline or even the national fortunes dissipate, it is impossible to rely on righteousness to make the spirits and non-people obedient.

Therefore, this has to test the ability and means of being an official.

Wang Fubo was carrying a god-given streamer and turned into a divine sword in his eyes, and he was naturally invincible, but most of the officials obviously had not reached this point.

"There is labor."

Three more pieces of jerky were given, and the three owls took the jerky and flapped their wings and flew away.

Seeing the owl flying farther and farther, Wang Fubo sighed with emotion: "Cheng is a righteous man among birds." ”

At the beginning, he was arraigned for Wuchao County, and Wang Fubo was extremely impressed.

"If, as the demon destroyer said, the heavenly soldiers who chased and killed the elephant came from a different heavenly court, then the elephant must be waiting for something."

A little irritable, Wang Fubo was a little annoyed at this time that he was just Cao Jiang Tongzhi, if it was the prefect, a lot of news would be more accurate.

"Beiyang Mansion is now full of demons, Jiangwei Dao is only afraid that there will be chaos, and I received news that my imperial sister-in-law is ready to restart the supervision of all the provinces in the world, and the Jiangwei Dao observation envoy has been decided."

In front of the table in the hall, Juan Jiulang held the teacup in both hands and said with an indifferent expression.

"Eo Province Observer?"

With a slight frown, Wang Fubo immediately asked, "Do you know who it is?" ”

"I don't know, but those who can exercise the power of supervision are usually officials in various ministries, and the worst is also a squire."

"I now suspect that someone in the DPRK is colluding with the Heavenly Court, but there is no evidence."

"If there is evidence, what can you do? You're just a fellow intellectual, not even a prefect. ”

After that, Juan Jiu Lang even reminded Wang Fubodao, "Also, there is finally a problem in Taichang Temple, and this month's sacrifice can no longer sense the will of the emperor." ”

"You're really good at using the word 'also'."

Wang Fubo's tone was mocking, and Juan Jiulang was expressionless, "First there was a problem in the locality, then the national fortune declined, then the central government also had a problem, and finally the national fortune disappeared, and it was the case in all dynasties." ”

"Okay, okay, why talk like that. Ah Lang, what news have you received, let's tell Wang Gong quickly. ”

Suddenly, a beautiful girl walked out, she looked like a middle-aged beauty, but the fluffy fox tail behind her betrayed her identity.

This is a real vixen.

"Now I can confirm that the clan, at least fifty years ago, began to prepare for the possibility of a change of dynasty. Great Xia can die, but their status will not change, this is their plan. ”

Juan Jiu Lang obviously listened to the fox spirit's words, so he began to say some news that Wang Fubo knew very little, "The change in the appointment and dismissal of Beijing officials also started fifty years ago. Like Li Huairou, he is the queen of the 'Gao Tao clan', and the rest of the important ministers are actually similar, they are all descendants of the ancient saints. All important ministers at the ministry level and above, without exception, only at the level of the squire can be regarded as having a few ordinary backgrounds......"

At first, Wang Fubo didn't believe it, but after discussing with Juan Jiulang, he found that the officials of each ministry, that is, those scholars, one is counted as one, and they are all descendants of the ancient sages.

Li Huairou, the provincial servant under his disciples, is just a typical example.

Wei Hao's killing of Li Huairou is nothing; Wei Hao's killing of the provincial servants only shocked the government and the opposition; But Wei Hao killed the "Gao Tao Clan" as the head of the family, that is, heaven does not tolerate it, and that is the anger of people and gods......

Some things, when you don't know, are actually fine.

I knew it deeply, but I was depressed.

Wang Fubo, who was already frowning, was about to disappear at this moment, and after a long time, Wang Fubo asked, "What is the benefit of colluding with the Heavenly Realm?" ”

"Did you know that there are six heavenly courts in the Heavenly Realm?"

"Yes."

"Then you know that these six heavenly courts, in fact, are divided into star fields, and only the human world cannot control them. Therefore, the six heavenly courts usually take turns to conform to humanity and draw divine power from the human world. ”

Seeing Wang Fubo's stunned face, Juan Jiu Lang chuckled, "This is like a local official betting on the next official secretary and the next minister of the court." No one can always be a secretary of the ministry, just like the provincial servant under the door, it has never been Li Huairou. ”

"So, what about the benefits?"

"When the opportunity to change the dynasty appears, perhaps, it will become a new generation of co-masters of the world."

"Not the Emperor of People?"

"There's no way anyone is king."

Wan Jiulang said.

And Wang Fubo had a possibility in his mind: if the elephant succeeds, will he be the new human emperor?

After thinking about it, Wang Fubo came up with an answer: no.

This is not because no one responds or follows, but Wei Hao himself, he himself will not become the emperor of people, and he will even trample the crown of the emperor directly under his feet.

"It's just the co-master of the world, and it has such a great attraction to the ancient saints?"

"Of course, not only that, when Taichang Temple communicated with the emperor, it also vaguely knew some news that had been circulated in the underworld."

"The underworld?"

"The Three Realms have their own communication, and moreover, the Three Realms are originally in the same place."

I only heard Wan Jiulang continue, "The new co-master of the world will be the 'Son of Heaven' recognized by the Three Realms. ”

"Son of Heaven?!"

Wang Fubo was shocked, this word contains too many possibilities and deep meanings.

Son of Heaven, Son of Heaven.

It can be explained this way.

But it is clear that there must be something else.

"When I left Xiayi, I consulted many classics of Honglu Temple, and the records of ghosts and gods in all dynasties were vaguely mentioned."

"What?"

"Heavenly Dao."

"Heavenly Dao?"

Wang Fubo was not shocked, on the contrary, he was just puzzled, and then asked Juan Jiulang, "The way of heaven has been said since ancient times, and when the Tang Dynasty was in the world, there was also a lot of 'sensing the way of heaven'." But they all ended in failure, why would the royal family of this dynasty have such a certainty? ”

"Because after Taizu, there is no one emperor."

This answer made Wang Fubo puzzled again, but after thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly had a bold guess, so he asked Juan Jiulang, "Do you have some secrets that you can't tell?" ”

Instead of speaking, she nodded.

"I see......"

At this moment, Wang Fubo can confirm that Juan Jiulang should have been banned, and it was not a ban after he was born, but a ban was placed in advance before he was born, four or five hundred years before he was born.

This is a bloodline prohibition, so that Juan Jiulang can't reveal some secrets unique to the royal family.

"No wonder in all dynasties, there will be people who try to change the ...... of the royal family"

Wang Fubo stroked his beard and sighed, as a "legend of the five tides", the classics are homework, but the wild history is also very extensive, including many stories of the royal family, most of them are adulterous deeds such as stealing concubines, or which merry king left wild seeds outside.

But where there is a story, there must be a prototype, Wang Fubo according to many records, summarized the remarks of Jiu Jiulang at this moment, he guessed that some wealthy families in ancient times should have considered mixing their own blood into the royal family, and then stealing the secrets of the royal family.

But it was clear that this trick would not work.

Wang Fubo guessed that the bloodline ban should be twofold, one is access, and the other is access.

If you don't have royal blood, you can't touch Mixin; And with the blood of the royal family, there is no way to get rid of Mixin.

"With your identity, the secrets you can grasp are indeed as vast as smoke."

After thinking about it, Wang Fubo asked again, "So, with the decline of the country's fortunes, can secrets be leaked on the side?" ”

Yan Jiulang still didn't speak, but nodded anyway.

"Then we'll find a way to put it on the show."

Just do it, Wang Fubo informed Cao Jiang Tongzhi Yamen, saying that he was occasionally feeling cold and was going to rest for a few days.

After that, Wang Fubo began to list the questions, all of which were fragmented, but they all eventually pointed to a certain range, so that some guesses could be determined through this range.

What Wang Fubo first confirmed was that the bloodline prohibition of this surname was personally arranged by Emperor Taizu of Great Xia, and then the first heir was born.

Later, Wang Fubo used this as a basis to judge that the emperor should not do this kind of thing for the sake of destroying the world, so it can only be for the sake of the common people.

Emperor Zhuan's "Jedi Tiantong" stripped the divine power from the world, and what Emperor Yu wanted to do was to strengthen the last belief in the world, that is, "man will conquer the sky".

That is, after Emperor Yu, while the human race generally respects the heavens and ancestors, they also believe that they can cope with natural disasters with their own abilities.

After repeated tests, he finally got the legend of "Heavenly Dao" from Juan Jiulang.

"In other words, the Human Ancestors and Emperors have always wanted to create the 'Heavenly Dao'?"

Wang Fubo was quite shocked by this conclusion.

"Why?"

Since there is a "Jedi Tiantong", since there is a "man will win the sky", why do you want to create a "sky" above your head?

This is completely unreasonable.

Puzzled, Wang Fubo decided to empathize, the perspective he substituted was not the ancestor of the emperor, but Wei Hao.

If I were Wei Hao, would I do this? What is the reason for this?

When thinking about this problem, Wang Fubo settled down for a long time, for a whole day and a night, and Wan Jiulang was on the side to protect the Dharma.

After it was dark again and dawn again, Wang Fubo opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and then said, "Indeed, this is a decision that a hero will make. ”

"Are you sure that it took only two days to think of the decision of the Human Emperor?"

Yan Jiulang didn't believe it at all, if it was really so easy, some people in all dynasties would have guessed it a long time ago.

"Hmph."

Wang Fubo sneered, "Maybe in the past, there were already people who wanted you and me to be like this, and deduced the arrangement of the ancestor of the human emperor, but even if they found it, they could only do nothing." ”

"Why?"

"Because at least they can profit from it, and this benefit is enough to shut them up."

“……”

The stunned Juan Jiulang didn't know what Wang Fubo had guessed, but Wang Fubo was obviously not afraid of revealing the secret of heaven, and said directly: "'Heavenly Dao' is a shackle. No matter who is in power in the world, whether it is good or evil, good or bad, it cannot break this shackle. Because this is something that is common to the world, only by acknowledging that we want to work for the well-being of the world can we in turn recognize it for the 'Heavenly Dao'. Regardless of whether this person has ambitions or evil intentions, the 'way of heaven' only depends on the result. ”

"What do you mean?"

"If the evil demon outer way can't stand this shackle, then you must admit that you don't want to work for the well-being of the world, then at this time, the 'Heavenly Dao' will let all sentient beings understand, and then jointly suppress this evil evil outer way. Therefore, if you want to do whatever you want in the human world, you must first smash the 'Heavenly Dao', but if you want to master the human world in the most effortless way, relying on the 'Heavenly Dao' is the most convenient way. ”

"But once you master the human world through the 'Heavenly Dao', isn't it subject to ...... Well, I see......"

"You finally get it."

Wang Fubo sighed with emotion at this moment, "The 'Heavenly Dao' is not composed in one day, it is the ancestors of the past generations, constantly reinforced, and perhaps in the process, he also sacrificed his own cultivation." You must know that when the heavenly realm descends to earth, you can't cultivate beyond the realm of immortals. This restriction was also observed by the ancestors themselves. And it is precisely because the ancestors obeyed it that this restriction is more recognized by sentient beings. ”

"All living beings ......"

"Yes, human wishpower, I also wondered why human wishpower is so important to the immortals in the heavenly realm. Is it just because you can collect people's wish power to improve the realm? Now, it seems, that's more than that. ”

Wang Fubo's eyes were lucky, and the blade of the sword flew out of the child's hole, and then it moved quickly, and the glowing trail turned out to be built one model after another.

"If, this is the world, this is the way of heaven......"

The model in the palm of his hand is becoming more and more concrete, and Kyushu is shrouded in a huge barrier, and outside the barrier, there are countless passages leading to the distant starry sky.

"With the formation of the 'Heavenly Dao', people's wishes will not flow into the Heavenly Realm at all, because they will be intercepted by the 'Heavenly Dao'. One year, two years, one hundred years, two hundred years, or even thousands of years, may not cause any variables, but in the long run, this is the story of one and the other. There may still not be so many immortals in the world, but as long as they step out of the 'Heavenly Dao', they will definitely be the strongest and greatest. ”

"So, destroying the 'Heavenly Dao'?"

"It's possible, but it's very unlikely."

Wang Fubo said confidently, "This is the consensus of the ancestors of the past generations, the 'way of heaven', like a human and non-human, seems to be conscious and unconscious." If you want to shatter such a 'Heavenly Dao', you must have the power to overwhelm all the Ancestral Emperors. ”

"Is there a case?"

"Perhaps." Wang Fubo did not deny this, but he gave an example to Juan Jiulang, "The 'Heavenly Dao' is a shackle, but it is for the strong who want to get involved in the world. For ordinary people, the 'way of heaven' is what they think and hope for. For example, 'fairness', perhaps not everyone desires fairness, how can princes, grandsons, dignitaries and nobles crave fairness like peddlers and pawns? It's a pity that there are many traffickers and pawns in the world, and there are few high-ranking officials and nobles, so the desire for fairness is the right way. ”

"This Dao is one of the 'Heavenly Dao'?"

"Exactly."

Wang Fubo's mood was extremely agitated at the moment, he had a feeling that he only hated being late, if he crossed time and space, tens of thousands of years ago, he would probably have seen the human emperor in a certain time and space, and made an incomparably great decision.

"In that case, the 'Heavenly Dao' will be the strongest, why did I say if there is a case, and you said that there may be?"

"Because if it were me, I would have laid out for thousands of years, constantly demagoguery, and tried every means to deny the fairness in the hearts of the peddlers and pawns, or make them forget to pursue fairness, until the thoughts in their hearts were flattened, so that the fairness in the 'Heavenly Dao' would no longer be the right path......"

Wang Fubo's words were full of demagoguery, which made Juan Jiulang feel creepy and his scalp tingle, but Wang Fubo did not stop, but continued, "As long as you persistently deny and deceive, and pass it on from generation to generation, one day, there will be more foolish men and foolish women, at this moment, if I want to overthrow the 'Heavenly Dao', in fact, I don't need to do it myself at all, because the foolish women themselves, that is, the beings who deceived for me, will overthrow themselves." ”

“……”

"At that time, the world will naturally change."

As soon as these words came out, Juan Jiulang instinctively wanted to kill Wang Fubo with a knife.
