Chapter 895: Shen's Dilemma
With the fall of the Yuan family, the officialdom has been purged, and even the Gan family has shrunk its tail and stopped making trouble, and Dragon City is thriving.
Of course, only temporarily.
As more and more new policies were introduced by Ling Xiao, the interests of the Immortal Sect clan were squeezed more and more, and conflicts would break out sooner or later. And now, everyone is waiting, waiting for the result of the ancestor's judgment on Yuan's case.
In the hall, everyone's expressions were extremely serious.
As the saying goes: the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!
After the meeting ended, another palace maid came to visit, it was Shen Meng's personal maid Xiaoyu, who routinely reported to Ling Xiao about Dong Qingran's retreat in the palace.
"It's been half a year, and there hasn't been any movement?" After listening to this, Xiaogua was a little worried.
"The bottleneck of Yuanying is not so easy to break through, the process is countless times more dangerous than Jiedan, maybe Sister Ah Ran is still preparing." Song Lu comforted.
She is also about to cultivate to the Jindan Great Perfection, and she naturally knows more about the barrier to Yuanying than Xiaogua and Ling Xiao.
"Rest assured, Ah Ran is extremely talented and will be able to break through smoothly." Ling Xiao also comforted.
Among the women he knew, except for the June who defended the sky, Dong Qingran was the most talented, the Heavenly Spirit Root and the different root of the ice attribute, along with Song Lu and Jiang Yu, who were geniuses, were slightly inferior.
Now that Dong Qingran has the help of the infant source and the elixir given by Shen Qianhe, it is expected that the breakthrough will be easier than others.
Even if you fail, it won't hurt Senki, so there's no need to worry too much.
The order of Dragon City is stable, and Ling Xiao ushered in a rare period of leisure.
In addition to his routine rounds and meetings, he simply put all his energy into his cultivation, devouring the accumulated resources with a terrible amount of food every day and transforming them into his own cultivation.
Mana and strength go hand in hand, while Ling Xiao is obsessed with cultivation and growth, he has not forgotten to combine work and rest, and occasionally takes Xiaogua Song Lu out to play, feast on scenic spots, visit ancient ruins, cultivate his mood, and consolidate his heart to ask for immortals.
I didn't feel much growth in my mood, but my relationship with Song Lu was steadily improving.
Compared with the reckless June, the smart melon, and the indifferent Dong Qingran, Song Lu is more empathetic, and often can understand what Ling Xiao thinks with one action and one look, and the husband and wife get along tacitly.
Five years have passed since such a pure day.
No one expected that the trial of the case of Yuan's collusion with the Cardinal Sect would drag on for such a long time.
But it is true that five years have passed.
Shen Qianhe's verdict came suddenly one night, and then detonated the public opinion of the whole city.
After her old man's investigation, it was confirmed that colluding with the Cardinal Sect was Yuan Yunyou's personal behavior, and those who did not know about the Yuan family were not guilty, and all the clansmen who did not have a criminal record were rehabilitated and released, and the officials were reinstated.
As for the two Yuan infant monks who were the heads of the Yuan clan - Yuan Dingbian and Yuan Zhennan - they could not escape the crime of negligence, and they were impeached on multiple charges and were dismissed from office, and they were never hired!
For a time, the government and the opposition shook.
……
"After all, the ancestor opened the net and did not completely cut off the future of the Yuan family."
Taishifu, hall.
Liang Zhi held the verdict in his hand, and his tone was solemn.
Jia Tian frowned and said: "The benevolence of the ancestor may become the confidence of others, and in the recent court, there have been many voices opposing the new policy of the lords. ”
Meng Hui hurriedly grabbed him and said in a low voice: "Don't talk about the Ancestor Holy Judgment in vain!" ”
Liang Zhi smiled and said, "This is the signal released by the ancestor to the adult. ”
The Clan Immortal Sect needs to be suppressed, but it cannot be completely wiped out.
Regardless of the clan immortal sect dynasties, it is true that it has made great contributions to the imperial court, and the more important thing is that the Shen clan is not prosperous, and it is impossible to govern the huge dynasty at all, and if the clan immortal sect of this generation is destroyed, there will be a new clan immortal sect coming out, which is really endless!
Moreover, these clan immortal sects are intertwined in the government and the opposition, and their fate has long been tied to the dynasty, and their loyalty is beyond doubt.
Even if the Yuan family colluded with the Cardinal Sect, it was only aimed at Ling Xiao, and they only hoped to maintain the interests of the past, not to kill the king.
Ling Xiao smacked his lips and muttered a little depressedly: "Grandma's, why don't the Shen family give birth to more people?" I see that those clans are all riveted to their strength. Another day, you will play a trick and persuade Your Majesty to accept a son-in-law as soon as possible, and give birth to him ten or eight out! ”
He clenched his fists and looked full of energy, which made everyone at the scene cry and laugh.
"Your Excellency, you are wrong."
Hiiragi suddenly spoke, and said to Ling Xiao,
"It's not that the Shen clan doesn't want to live more, it's that they have the power of a curse in their blood......"
Hiiragi has followed Tao Mingqian for many years and knows many secrets of the imperial court, although the court and the opposition are secretive about the curse of the Shen family, he still has heard about it, knows a thing or two, and immediately introduced it to Ling Xiao in private.
Cursed bloodline?
The probability of going crazy is far beyond ordinary people?
When Ling Xiao heard such secret news, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time, and he still had to ask in detail, but Hiiragi didn't know much.
"That's it, I'll go to Master Tao another day and ask for clarification."
Ling Xiao groaned.
This is no small matter!
He also expects the Shen family to have more geniuses to come out, so that they can smoothly take over the power in his hands in the future!
He didn't want to be trapped in the Dragon Star Dynasty forever!
After the adjournment of the meeting.
Ling Xiao immediately went to the Tao Mansion to inquire about the situation of the Shen bloodline, Tao Mingqian seemed to have been prepared, and threw him a few jade slips, which recorded the information of the Shen bloodline.
The Shen clan has a terrible curse in their blood, which is no different from ordinary people on weekdays, but once it reaches the critical period of cultivation promotion and breaking through the bottleneck, the curse will take effect, making the heart demon extremely rampant, and forcibly breaking through will have a high probability of going mad.
And the higher the cultivation, the greater the risk.
"The Shen family has tried countless methods, but they can't eradicate the curse, and they can only alleviate it a little with the secret technique of blood exchange. But as time passed, the curse became more and more entrenched, and the secret art of blood exchange gradually lost its effect. The first emperor was affected by the curse, so he was taken advantage of by the demons at the time of the breakthrough, fell into the root of the disease, and died young. ”
"And when it comes to Your Majesty's generation, I'm afraid I won't even be able to survive the Yuan Baby."
Ling Xiao was stunned for a while, even if he had traveled all these years and was conceited and well-informed, he had never heard of such a terrible curse, which would be passed down along the bloodline, endlessly!
Could it be that God really cursed the Shen family?
"Is this spell really unsolvable?"
"Maybe only the Holy Emperor himself can have the ability to solve misfortunes." Tao Mingqian sighed faintly.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The Holy Emperor and his old man have been locked up by the Heavenly Dao, even if they are willing to come over to help, I am afraid that there is nothing they can do!
"Color embryo, maybe Brother Huo has a solution! Listening to him, he is the strongest alchemist besides the Saint Emperor! ”
The little tree wrapped around his wrist suddenly spoke.
Ling Xiao's eyes lit up.
