Chapter 303: Rebuilding Heavenly Court
The country has been closed for three years, the whole country is preparing for war, the taxes are heavy, and the people are declining.
- Book of Jin
Historians have always cherished history like gold.
For contemporary people, it may be a heavy mountain that weighs on the body, but in the pen of the historian, there will always be only a few understatements.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, three years have passed since the Great War of the Saints of the North and the South.
Three years may be a really short time for a cultivator.
Especially for those who are in the higher realms, it may even be a short retreat, almost equivalent to just a nap.
But.
For secular ordinary people, it is really not a short period of time, and it can even directly change the lives of many people.
In the past three years, the atmosphere of the entire Southern Jin Dynasty has been relatively depressing.
On the one hand, Yu Youquan constantly emphasized the crisis of propaganda through Lesheng Cheng Qingyi, which made some people in the world panic.
But.
People are panicked for this kind of thing, and after being panicked for a long time, they will become numb.
Compared with the danger that may come but does not appear, the only thing that most people think about in their minds is the bad crisis policy.
It not only restricts their freedom, but also makes their lives depressing.
On the other hand, the entire Southern Jin Dynasty was pulled into a large-scale production movement, and the people's power was greatly exploited and used.
A large number of criminals were exiled to farms for management and reclamation, and newly cultivated farmland was everywhere.
In particular, with the promotion and use of various fertilizers, the yield per mu of grain crops has increased substantially, and there is a sense of prosperity on the whole.
But.
Behind this prosperity, the resentment accumulated in the world has also increased day by day, and it has even become like a large volcano with turbulent undercurrents.
Once it can't be suppressed, it may explode at any time.
First, although there was a bumper harvest of grain, in order to make enough grain reserves, the taxes collected by the government were also very heavy, and the people's lives did not improve on the whole.
What's more, many corrupt officials and corrupt officials take advantage of the petty power in their hands to set up all kinds of clever names.
The imperial court dared to increase the tax of one penny, and these corrupt officials dared to levy one or two more taxes to the people.
Many times it is even more goose city than goose city!
If it weren't for Yu Youquan's ability to use the authority of Shinto to listen to the prayers of the people in the world from time to time, and to give many corrupt officials and corrupt officials a Shinto deterrent, it is estimated that the people in the world would have been completely miserable.
As the saying goes, the housekeeper has been a housekeeper for three years, and cats and dogs are suspicious.
It is easy to say that Yu Youquan has such a level of large-scale ownership and all kinds of high-pressure policies, but all cultivators have some resistance in their hearts.
Of course.
In the past three years, with the help of Shinto authority, from time to time in response to the demands of ordinary people, in the form of heavenly thunder, "heavenly justice" has killed many people who have done no evil, and it has also made the concepts and ideas of "three feet above the head and gods" more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than ever before.
For example, in the folk, there are more and more places such as "Dragon Marquis Temple", "Dragon King Temple", and "Great Emperor's Palace".
There are a lot of people who are voluntary!
Most of these people are grateful for Yu Youquan's favor, and most of the temples are small temples, but they are sincere.
In the simple concept of the common people, Yu Youquan, the dragon lord, has more and more presiding over justice, and most of them still thundered in the way of "justice from heaven", so that he now has the priesthood of "Qingtian Lord".
But there are also some temples, which were promoted by the imperial court.
The core of the purpose is to forcibly bind many actions of the imperial court to Yu Youquan, so as to reduce the pressure from the cultivation world.
Facts have proved that the effect of this policy is still very significant in nature.
Success transferred a lot of pressure from the cultivation world to Yu Youquan.
For many cultivators, the name Yu Juli alone didn't dare to let them go too far.
Even many bureaucrats who thoroughly implemented this measure were still from academies in various places, and even in this world, there were many academies who worshipped Yu Youquan, but these did not prevent them from using Yu Youquan as a shield.
I have to say that there are a lot of people who read books!
Even if Yu Youquan was unhappy in his heart, he could only endure it for the time being.
Because.
He really needs these people to help him do things, to practice his will, to support them and to remove the pressure from the cultivation world.
The temples drummed out by these scholars are much more magnificent, but many readers are also extraordinarily "pragmatist", and the minimalism on the temples is also in place.
And there are also some palaces that some forces took the initiative to build in order to appease him.
On the contrary, it seems that the palace built by this kind of flattering Bajie is the most majestic.
But no matter what, these incense wishes made his Gou Chen Emperor Fu more and more mysterious, and the power to control the many stars in the heavenly dome became stronger and stronger.
The second is that even rich peasants and merchants, taxes are also very heavy.
Although they are much better than ordinary farmers, they are afraid to compare with the past.
In this longitudinal comparison, the gap inevitably makes these rich people extremely uncomfortable and feel extremely depressed.
Especially in order to save food, the implementation of the strict prohibition of alcohol has made many powerful families who have been accustomed to living a good life since childhood somewhat aggrieved.
Human beings are like this, I can not drink alcohol, and I even hate it, but if you strictly prevent me from drinking, then the pleasure of drinking will come.
The joy of drinking lies in the prohibition of alcohol!
In essence, it is a kind of freedom to be able to do whatever you want, and not to do what you don't want to do, which is also the same two sides of freedom.
The deprivation of liberty naturally gives rise to great resentment and resentment!
Another huge impact of this incident is that the gangs under the surface of the water are rapidly becoming bigger and stronger.
Selling and transferring alcohol without permission is even more numerous.
The most important thing is that three years have passed, and there have been no particularly serious riots on the side of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
On the contrary, the major Buddhist temples of Buddhism are unexpectedly thriving.
In particular, the holy Buddha is omniscient and powerful, and the dazzling light of the Buddha in Lantuo Temple can even be seen by many monks of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
Meanwhile.
The power of the endless starlight that falls every night and night in the Northern Wei Dynasty is increasing the foundation of the Northern Wei Dynasty Heaven and Earth every moment.
The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi between the Heaven and Earth of the Northern Wei Dynasty even had to transform into "Yuan Qi Liquid" because of this.
In this regard, the Northern Wei Dynasty even specially renamed it "Reiki" to show that it was more advanced and mysterious than the Xuanmen side of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
The difficulty for ordinary people to open the Heavenly Gate has been greatly reduced, and the number of cultivators has increased like a blowout.
And for the practitioners, it's more like a feast.
The breakthrough that was once dreamed of is now as simple and easy as eating and drinking for many cultivators.
Especially in terms of longevity, it is even more "arrogant" beyond the imagination of the world.
Under the framework of today's law, saints do not live longer than their early 1,000s.
And under the level of the laws of the ancient law of heaven and earth, the lifespan of the world, which used to make all the monks of the present law call the heavens and the earth not spiritual, can be easily solved.
It's like the level of a saint, as if it's really detached.
Sitting in your own small world is like jumping out of the Three Realms and not being in the Five Elements.
Even when you reach the Five Realms, it seems that you can truly live with heaven and earth.
The monks of the other realms have their own gains, and it is true that when the water rises, everything in the water rises with the water.
The war of public opinion has always been a two-way street.
In the past three years, Yu Youquan has been transmitting information and ideas about the pollution and danger of the starry sky to the Northern Wei Dynasty through various means.
In essence, it is naturally to save, but the Southern Jin Dynasty still has all kinds of dissatisfaction with his methods and policies, not to mention the hostile Northern Wei Dynasty?
What's more, the Northern Wei Dynasty was inevitably also affected by some of the public opinion war.
Even many Buddhist temples have followed the example of the Southern Jin Dynasty, spending a lot of resources to actively build secret realms and closed caves.
All kinds of cultivation resources, heavenly materials and earth treasures have all risen in price, especially daily necessities such as food and salt, which have been snapped up by major families and temples.
Many people in the Northern Wei Dynasty even starved because of this!
On the side of the Southern Jin Dynasty, Yu Youquan can barely make a fall, but on the side of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the monk is really ruthless.
Hunger everywhere!
To a large extent, the power of the Northern Wei Dynasty was weakened, and even caused great turmoil in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Even the destructive power of the Northern Wei Dynasty is no less than a real war!
Not only did the Northern Wei Dynasty not expect it, but even the Southern Jin Dynasty didn't expect it at all.
But.
There is no shortage of smart people in the world!
After realizing the importance of the public opinion propaganda front, the Northern Wei Dynasty began to publicize the advantages of the ancient law world of the Northern Wei Dynasty through various means.
The longevity of life, for many old immortals, the attraction is unimaginable.
For them, going to the Northern Wei Dynasty is an endless long lifespan, while staying in the Southern Jin Dynasty, which is blockading the world, is sitting in a sorrowful city and waiting for death.
And this is also one of the important reasons why the opinions and resentments of Yu Youquan and the Nine Kings are getting bigger and bigger in the Southern Jin Dynasty.
In their opinion, it was Yu Youquan and the conservative Nine Kings who stood in their way.
And Yu Youquan, who has the most management and the widest, is the first to bear the brunt and has become the target of the most criticism, and various conspiracy theories have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Such as.
Yu Youquan wants to become a saint and a god, deliberately exaggerating the crisis and depriving the world of freedom.
seems to be loyal, but in fact it is a traitor.
In particular, the temples that have blossomed everywhere seem to confirm the correctness of this rumor.
The three of them became tigers, and when the news spread widely, many malicious attacks on Yu Youquan naturally became the "truth" that many people are more willing to believe.
And Yu Youquan, who is a god, naturally can't not hear this.
This made Yu Youquan even more admired the wisdom of his ancestors!
The icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow.
Those who anticipate that the enemy plane will eliminate the disaster first will never be evaluated in the hearts of the world as well as those who put out the fire afterwards and help clean up the mess.
Undoubtedly, this is also a weight.
It can be said to be the weight of the world, but it can also be said to be the weight of the human heart!
The longer the control lasts, the more Yu Youquan feels the difficulty and heaviness of the burden.
But.
It wasn't completely without gains, which made him naturally think of the small world opened up by the saints, and the confrontation and integration between the big heaven and earth.
This made Yu Youquan feel very deeply!
These pressures and rebounds may be the price of breaking new ground, and they are also a process that must be experienced when embarking on the holy path.
Once detonated, it may be a catastrophe of sanctification!
"Did you see that? The power of the ancient law heaven and earth? ”
In a top-secret dark room in the Southern Jin Dynasty, several cultivators were secretly watching the image of the fighting method recorded in a jade slip.
The jade slip was transmitted to the Southern Jin Dynasty by the Northern Wei Dynasty through special channels.
It can also be regarded as a kind of counterattack to the "public opinion war", "false propaganda" and "fanning the flames" on the side of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
A young man who had secretly watched the image of the fighting method said excitedly, "This is the current monk of the Northern Wei Dynasty?" Picking the stars and taking the moon, moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, longevity and Tianqi are too magical! ”
"It's so shocking, compared with the ancient law, the current law is simply not on the table!"
One of them chimed in, and his words were full of fanaticism.
"Of course, I know from the ancient books in my family that compared with the ancient law, the current law has been severely emasculated in essence. Whether it's the exercises or the magic weapons, it's no exception. Now that the shackles are removed, the beauty of the ancient law of heaven and earth will be completely revealed! ”
"Hey, the young dragon is confused, if the Southern Jin Dynasty is so closed to the country, it will inevitably lag far behind the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the so-called town boundary array may also be broken with one stab!"
"Hey, what baby dragon? I don't think it's Cheng Jujun's second, who is treacherous and loyal, wolf-like ambition, and completely ignores the interests of the Xuanmen monks in the world for the sake of personal cultivation! ”
Cheng Jujun is the founding ancestor of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Before taking the country from the hands of orphans and widows, he was also a first-class gentleman in the world, known as prestige.
These young monks compared Yu Youquan to "Cheng Jujun", and one can imagine how bad his impression in the hearts of the world was after three years of control.
"Isn't it? I heard that he is taking the invincible road of the present law, invincible in the same realm, and even able to challenge the next level, but if it is put in the ancient law world, the so-called invincible road of the current law is just a clown."
“.”
Along with the "public opinion war" between the north and the south, similar scenes continued to occur in various parts of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
Meantime.
Yu Youquan felt that the burden of the world was getting heavier and heavier, making him feel heavier, more depressed and lonely!
Yu Youquan was alone, silently bearing and tasting this misunderstanding and loneliness, looking at the starry sky of the Northern Wei Dynasty, his eyes became more and more deep.
Compared with the lifeless atmosphere of the Southern Jin Dynasty, the night sky of the Northern Wei Dynasty is really too bright.
The stark contrast between the two is the stark.
"The most effective way to combat pollution is luck, order, and authority?!"
In the past three years, he has endured a lot and carried a lot, but he has never given up on finding some kind of solution to the problem once and for all, or even from the source.
It's just that the conclusion of the study made Yu Youquan a little unbelievable for a while.
After a long period of experimentation, he found that if he wanted to weaken and eliminate the pollution in the starry sky in time, the best way was to baptize with luck and merit, fight with order, and consume with authority.
There is no need to mention the baptism of luck and merit, as long as you have enough luck, and the pollution has not yet touched the heart, it will melt like snow meets the sun.
I have to admit that in this world, luck is really very omnipotent.
Perhaps this is the reason why it is affected by the radiation of the laws of the great world, such as the flood and famine!
The merit of luck is almost a panacea, as long as there is enough luck, almost any difficulty can be solved.
Confronting with order is not inherently complicated.
Just like there are people who do evil in the world, as long as these tumors are cleaned up in time, the disease will naturally be alleviated, or even cured.
Pollution originating from the stars is essentially the same thing, and it is entirely possible to rely on order to fight chaos.
As for spending time with authority, this is still found through the Gou Chen Emperor Fu.
After rearranging and combining the stars, Yu Youquan was very surprised to find that the authority of Emperor Gou Chen could very effectively eliminate the pollution brought by the star power.
The results are even incredible!
This made Yu Youquan subconsciously think of an old incident - when the Holy King and Queen of the Three Holy Gates buried the ancient heaven and earth, they directly took away the innocent gods in waves.
Seal them all, and even turn their authority into the world of the present dharma, and even part of the secret method of practicing the present dharma.
This made Yu Youquan suddenly realize that if he wanted to weaken and eliminate the starry sky pollution from the source, it was best to use the authority of the gods to re-set a new "heaven and earth membrane tire" for heaven and earth.
The breaking of the protective barrier set by the Holy King and Queen of the present law is not only a matter of the return of the rules of the ancient law of heaven and earth, but also the gradual return of the sealed gods.
If he wants to re-clarify the order between heaven and earth, eliminate the pollution between heaven and earth from the starry sky, re-establish order, and regain the authority of those fallen gods, it is very necessary.
This made Yu Youquan speechless!
Because.
He subconsciously thought of the solution. Re-establish the heavenly court, rebuild the underworld, and redefine reincarnation.
But.
This set of order is the ancient order, and it is the order that the Heavenly Dao Sect specially overthrows.
If he wanted to embark on such a path again, would it mean that the world pattern had returned to the Ancient Heavenly Court era?
Yu Youquan even had a feeling of being terrified of thinking about it!
Because.
The first step in all the plans of the Holy Queen was to ignite one of the many dragon veins that made up the Heavenly Court, so that it could transform into a real life form, thus destroying the great pattern of the Heavenly Court.
Subsequently, the Heavenly Court was destroyed, the Heavenly Dao Sect was destroyed, the Three Holy Gates were destroyed, and the Nine Xuanmen Relay, generation after generation, all of them were completely under the framework of heaven and earth in the present law.
But.
Now that only half of the framework of the Dharma Heaven and Earth has been beaten, and in order to eliminate the pollution from the starry sky, he subconsciously thought of recasting the heavenly court and resetting the order, is this really a decision he made?
Could it be that it was predestined in the dark?
If he really came to this point, had all the efforts of all the sages such as the Holy Queen and the Holy King since the Heavenly Court Era been completely failed?
And just when Yu Youquan was thinking deeply, under the three-year high-pressure policy, a rebellion inevitably appeared in the Southern Jin Dynasty.
The first to explode was the younger generation of cultivators on Jianye's side, who gathered together in a big way, and even met at the palace gate to knock on the gate to petition, the purpose of which was to ask the imperial court to lift the blockade and high-pressure control of the country.
In the name of the common people of the world and the future of the Southern Jin Dynasty!
The riot soon snowballed.
