Chapter 1229: The Holy Land of the Wicked (Five Watches)
The city lord's mansion is heavily guarded, and on the intersecting streets, outside the magnificent mansion gate, there are all soldiers who are fully armed and riding beasts, looking around like wolves and tigers.
The judges who got the news in advance were already waiting in front of the city government, except for the three judges who were temporarily absent from the city lord's mansion because they were busy with information, and the five judges who were active in the field, and the other three judges all rushed to hear the news.
Seeing Tang Yan's return, they were surprised and delighted.
"There are still four months before the appointed time, why did you come back early, young master?" the Grand Judge swept his eyes and saw several unfamiliar faces. But it doesn't matter, Xu Yan and Ren Tian's burial are all here, which makes him a lot surprised. When the national war is coming, any high-level martial venerable, any demi-saint, is a top-level treasure, and can even turn the tide of war in a region.
And the arrival of Tang Yan and other nine semi-saints are all veritable freaks, which may make the royal family excited. No, as soon as they got the news, the three judges went out to greet them, and the staff officers of the City Lord's Mansion finished writing the information on the spot, and they were already sent to the imperial city in an urgent manner.
"We left the Ten Thousand Ancient Beast Mountain ten days ago, and we went to Yan Country by the way, and we happened to encounter two saints from the Holy Spirit Hall and the Town Demon Temple attacking the Yaochi Holy Land......" Tang Yan gave a brief introduction, and then asked directly: "What happened, how did I hear that Qin Minghuang and they have arrived?"
"Alas, it's hard to say, now the scene in the Central Plains is becoming more and more incomprehensible. The fourth judge sighed heavily and said, "We were still thinking about whether to let you come back the day before yesterday, but since you are here, you really have to have a part in this matter." â
"Don't stand at the door, let's go, let's go in first, Boss Ma and they are already waiting." The Grand Judge led Tang Yan and the others into the heavily guarded City Lord's Mansion, and introduced as he walked: "Young Master, you should all know what happened in the Central Plains in the past half a month, but you shouldn't know what happened the day before yesterday. â
Tang Yan and the others walked into the City Lord's Mansion one after another, and the patrolling troops frequently cast curious glances, Luo Hu's size was too large, and he could only float in the air, but Tang Yan's identity and the aura of Xu Yan and others brought a lot of excitement to the guards.
The big battle is just around the corner, and there's nothing more pleasing than when a strong man joins.
"The reason why it happened was that we received an invitation, or rather, many people have received it. â
"Invitations?
"The Xingluo Empire received eight letters, which were sent to Xuanyuan, Qin Minghuang, Zhao Wenqing, Cangming, Chu Tianchao, Mu Zixiu, Liu Qingqing, and Xia Beilou, eight of the top powerhouses representing the new generation of the Xingluo Empire. We received one in Jiulongling, which was sent to you personally, and it was specially marked as the young master of Jiulongling. â
"Who sent it?" Tang Yan The more they listened, the more confused they became.
"The signature is the three holy places of the Central Plains, the Pure Land, the Zhulu Academy, and the Valley of the Wicked. â
"Valley of the Wicked?"
"Holy Land??"
Everyone was obviously stunned, and they had never heard of this name. But if you think about it carefully, something is wrong, the Holy Land, the Holy Treasure Land, how can there be a wicked person!
The Grand Judge said: "The celebrities of the Holy Land of the Pure Land are well known, and the name of the Holy Land of the Zhulu Academy has existed for tens of thousands of years. However, the existence of the Valley of the Wicked is not too distinct, and people know that there are three holy places in the Central Plains, but it is not clear who the third holy place is besides the Pure Land and the Academy. But at this moment, the Valley of the Wicked may be preparing to move towards the bright side. â
"Introduction?" Du Yang lives in the border wilderness all the year round, and has no concept of the holy land at all.
The second judge gave a detailed explanation: "The Pure Land is a gathering place for monks from all over the world, and the territory is as vast as a kingdom, and it is full of all kinds of temples, all of which are monks who advocate peace and promote friendship. Their number is very large, and the Pure Land heritage is even richer, and their influence in the entire Central Plains is very great.
For a long time, many Pure Land monks basically did not stay in the Pure Land, and they traveled all year round, preaching friendship, eliminating suffering, and helping those in need regardless of good and evil, so that the monks and the Pure Land enjoyed a holy name throughout the continent and were widely respected and loved.
Zhulu Academy is also a holy place, but the nature and way of saving zĂ i are more special, they are not like the Pure Land to focus on people's livelihood and suffering, preach peace and friendliness, and even sacrifice themselves in order to save people, Zhulu Academy is characterized by governing the country and the people!
It is the supreme church in the hearts of the people of the world, and it is also the holy church in the hearts of the prime ministers' mansions, the Hanlin Academy, and the academies, and it is the supreme being. There are all kinds of books in the world, the art of war, national policies, everything, they never train martial artists, not pure physical training of gods, they cultivate students who are full of history books, are capable ministers of governing the country and the country, and every year a steady stream of students are recruited, and there is a steady stream of talents to various countries.
Looking at the five major empires and major kingdoms in the Central Plains, almost seventy percent of the officials, prime ministers, scholars of Hanlin, ministers of statecraft, and even some important officials in the agricultural category are from the Zhulu Academy. â
The spirit of the crowd was highly concentrated, and they listened with bated breath. Except for the Xuanyuan Dragon Carp, everyone present was probably the first time they had heard a detailed introduction to the Holy Land, and some even heard about the Zhulu Academy for the first time.
At this moment, my heart is full of emotion and a little shock.
One is a holy place in the hearts of ordinary people, and the other is a holy place in the hearts of students all over the world. The name of the Pure Land has long been understood, but isn't the Zhulu Academy a little too terrifying? It is simply the birthplace of Wenchen from all over the world.
"What about the Valley of the Wicked?" Du Yang was even more curious.
"The Valley of the Wicked is even different from the Pure Land and the Academy, but they do have the hat of a holy place, and they are still recognized as a holy place on the mainland. But the name of this holy place is not a holy place in our normal sense, because it is a holy place in the hearts of the wicked people of the world!"
Everyone frowned slightly and listened attentively.
"The Valley of the Wicked divides the people of the world into three categories simply and extremely, good people, bad people and laypeople, there are very few types that can be classified into the ranks of good people, except for the Pure Land and some special organizations, I am afraid that no one dares to call themselves good people, but those who can be classified into the ranks of bad people in the real sense are actually even fewer, and these people are basically gathered in the Valley of the Wicked. The rest of the types can all be counted as laypeople, you, me, everyone present, are all laymen, and the simple explanation is that they are people who are not fathomed in their animal nature, and people who are entangled in the world.
To put it simply, the Valley of the Wicked is very mysterious, even more mysterious than the forbidden land, they never accept anyone's initiative to take refuge, but they will attract or protect certain people by themselves, these people are personally selected by them, and they are all 'wicked' people who are judged by their own standards!
For example, if they take a fancy to someone, they will definitely take it back at any cost, but if they can't get used to it, no matter how great your sin is, they will never want to step into the valley of the wicked.
There is also a crucial point, as long as you enter the Valley of the Wicked, no matter how heinous the crime you commit in the outside world, no matter which force you provoke, the other party will no longer pursue it, and dare not offend the Valley of the Wicked. This is an unwritten rule, and it is also an agreement that all countries and forces have always abided by, as for how strong the Valley of the Wicked is, maybe even the Emperor of the Empire does not know, anyway, it can't be provoked. â
And where else is there a place where everyone looks at each other and can't tell what it's like to feel in their hearts.
The Grand Judge continued: "It is undeniable that the three holy places have an extremely terrifying influence in the entire Central Plains, and their status in the hearts of the people is even balanced by the empire, and they are sacred and inviolable holy places of peace. â
"Am I a wicked person?" Zhuge Liang asked Du Yang beside him with a smile.
"You?" Du Yang looked him up and down, and snorted: "At most, it's a person!"
"Don't mess around. Xu Yan glared at them, took a few steps forward, and asked, "The invitation was sent by the three holy lands together, and it was only given to the Xingluo Empire?"
"No!!, it encompasses the entire Central Plains. â
"Oh?"
The chief judge said: "After the incident on March 9, both the Pure Land and the Academy remained calm for the time being, as if they had given up the persuasion of the two empires, and allowed the situation in the Central Plains to be chaotic, and there was no movement for many days, and they were even criticized as the Holy Land giving up on the common people.
But at noon the day before yesterday, the Tianyan Intelligence Organization sent an invitation letter to the entire Central Plains, from the three holy places. To be precise, it was the Three Holy Lands that entrusted Tianyan to send invitations to the Five Great Empires, the Seven Forbidden Lands, and the Eighty-Nine Kingdoms. â
"What??"
"Covering the entire Central Plains, what a lot of courage!"
Everyone was shocked, and their footsteps involuntarily stopped.
"I dare to come to the sky, the whole country of the Central Plains, including the forbidden land?"
