Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Ceremony of Sacrificing to the Heavens
In the imperial city, everything is as before.
Li Yun, the emperor's punishment of the officials of the soup kitchen bureau outside the city and his personal relief to the victims, does not seem to have reached the palace.
Maybe it has been passed back to the celebrant by the brocade guard or the secret agent at the sticky pole, but no one pays attention to it at all.
After all, for the people in the palace, the disaster victims, are they still people?
Not to mention that the little emperor only gave relief to more than 100,000 victims, even if he gave relief to millions of victims, in addition to being conducive to the stability of the entire Gyeonggi Province and the court, there is no harm in it.
Could it be that the emperor wants to rely on the disaster victims to rebel?
It's a joke.
In the eyes of the court, a million victims of the disaster are not worth 10,000 fully armed pro-army guards and elite soldiers of the Shangzhi army.
It's just a group of aimless outcasts, a rabble.
Safely escorting the emperor to the Palace of Heart Cultivation, Zhou Quan glanced at Li Yun without saying anything, and then left helplessly under the urging of his subordinate Jinyi Guard.
In the end, he didn't say anything, but the emperor's gentle smile made him a little embarrassed.
But what can he do? He's just a banner of the brocade guard.
Although he is majestic outside, he is Uncle Jinyi everywhere, but in this palace, above this court, he is just a fart......
After Zhou Quan and the others left, Li Yun was the same as before, as if nothing had happened, and it was only someone else who went out of the city to help the victims today.
After having dinner under Zhen'er's service, Li Yun returned to the inner study of the Heart Cultivation Palace, sat cross-legged, and began to examine himself with his spiritual sense.
Although the total amount of imperial qi harvested today was not as large as the millions of members of the White Lotus Sect before, it was extremely pure.
Obviously, after a series of operations such as killing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, personally giving relief to the victims, and making grand wishes in public, the loyalty of the victims to the emperor has skyrocketed, and it has reached a stage of high loyalty.
It can even be said that most of the loyalty to Li Yun is not lower than Ji Yunpeng!
This may also be because the victims have been soaked in despair for too long, and Li Yun's appearance is like the last straw, so they can't help but cling to it.
And it is not only material satiety, but more importantly, spiritual sustenance.
Feudalism kills people...... Li Yun sighed in his heart and shook his head slightly.
In the martial arts league before, only those who knew his identity as emperor were those in charge, so the imperial qi he got was very small, but today, these imperial qi coupled with the little imperial qi constantly brought by "Shunlong Weifu Private Interview" made him not only break through the fourth layer of qi training in one fell swoop, but also touched the threshold of the fifth layer of qi training.
As long as the current spiritual power situation is well consolidated, it is also close to breaking through to the fifth layer of Qi training.
If you want to cultivate this Haotian Gong method quickly, it is still the most convenient way to win the hearts of the people.
And if you want to win the hearts of the people, the fastest thing is to kill corrupt officials!
That's a good thing.
This Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and there are few people who are loyal to the monarch and the country, but there are countless people who are fish and meat.
Thinking of this, Li Yun's heart had already risen with infinite killing intent.
Kill, kill, just wait for a river of blood!
Immediately after that, Li Yun used the spiritual power in his body and began to practice new spells again.
There are a lot of spells in this Haotian Gong Method, and now it has reached the fourth level of Qi training, and the spiritual power has increased greatly, although the spells that can be used every day are limited, but the spells that can be mastered and learned have reached dozens.
Time was pressing, and Li Yun quickly selected a few of the bunch of spells at this time and began to focus on practicing.
Among them, the ones that are most in line with his heart are mainly those that look majestic, have strong light and shadow effects, and are suitable for engaging in feudal superstition.
For example, Wind and Cloud Technique, Soaring Technique, Phantom Technique, etc.
The Wind and Cloud Technique, which itself is weakened from the spell "Little Cloud and Rain Technique" in the foundation building period, is that it can set off a strong wind in a small area to attract a cloud, and it is not lethal in itself, but it looks more bluffing.
According to the Haotian Gongfa, this was originally used for celebrations and sacrifices, to build momentum.
However, this technique is very suitable for Li Yun.
And soaring can also be called "gliding".
The effect of this spell itself is even more frustrating, in fact, it allows the caster to use spiritual power to jump as high as possible, and even be able to jump to a height of tens of meters, and then use the barrier formed by spiritual power to slowly descend, looking like he is soaring.
If you want to fly during the Qi refining period, you can only achieve it with the help of some spiritual treasure magic weapons and the like, and only in the foundation building period can you directly borrow spiritual power to fly in the air.
This soaring technique is used by immortal cultivators in the Qi refining period, and it can occasionally be used to hurry.
It can be said that it is very much in line with Li Yun's needs.
The illusion technique is even more as the name suggests, it can form a phantom around the body by distorting the spread of aura, and the specific formation of something is determined by the caster himself.
This spell itself should be an auxiliary spell for hunting or the like, and if it falls into Li Yun's hands, it must be a top-level spell.
It's just tailor-made.
In the following time, in addition to practicing these techniques, Li Yun was to cultivate the flying sword and leave his soul imprint on the flying sword in order to refine it thoroughly.
Occasionally, he called Zhao Huichun over, and then simply refined some pills in case of emergency.
The rare medicines in the entire palace treasury have been completely emptied by Li Yun.
And at night, he is not stingy to be a gentleman on the beam, often wearing a Shanghai dragon coat and walking around the imperial city to eavesdrop and peek.
On the side of the Queen Mother's Kangning Palace, there have been many strange figures in the past few days, obviously from the support of the Xuanwu Jiedu envoy.
I just don't know what kind of moth I'm doing.
For the next two days, the entire palace was peaceful, as if it had become a quiet paradise.
Li Yun's Heart Nourishing Hall was even quieter, and there were usually occasional concubines or eunuchs from the celebrant eunuchs who came, but there were no visitors these days.
The dedication to the king Li Mu has also disappeared.
The news that Li Yun had skinned Xu Jiyuan and other corrupt officials outside the city finally spread in the palace, but no one cared much about it at all.
Xiao Guangzi and the others also did not receive any news from the White Lotus Sect.
Xiao Guangzi and several other secret prisoners of the White Lotus Sect have now completely surrendered to Li Yun, and they all sensed the slightest bit of something wrong, and they all looked for opportunities to go out to find out the news, but there was also no news worthy of attention.
It seems to be absolute calm before the storm.
And Li Yun's Heart Nourishing Hall is the center of this storm, but it is the quietest place.
In the past few days, he has also enjoyed being idle, practicing during the day and listening to the corners of the wall at night, and occasionally leaving the palace from the secret passage for a while, and meeting Ji Yunpeng and others.
Finally, two long days passed, and this morning, the sky was overcast, and the air was dreary, as if a heavy rain was about to fall at any moment.
The ceremony of sacrificing to heaven is today!
