"I heard that there are many good deeds that benefit the country and the people?" Zhang Lingyun had seen missionaries give clothes and medicine when he was a child, and he was not very disgusted with them.

"It is indeed a good deed to educate people and open a clinic to see a doctor, but the ordinary people who are illiterate and panic all day long dare not believe their rhetoric anymore, let alone accept the edification of their thoughts, so they can only fight silently in despair," the fifth elder sighed deeply, extremely disdainful of this low-level practice of beating a stick and giving a sweet date.

"Just like an abuser who punches and kicks you every day, and suddenly changes his attitude and whispers to you, shushing you and asking for warmth, I am afraid that a fool will think that he is trying to do wrong, and it is impossible to be credulous again without asking the reason. ”

"Even without those outsiders, Emperor Qiandi pushed the country to the top of the cliff from the beginning of the seclusion of the country, and opened a huge gap with the subordinate small countries, not to mention the 'popular fashions' that were popular in the officialdom," the five elders lived a long time, and hated the tyranny and unreasonableness of the Qing Dynasty when they entered the customs, but it was a pity that they were weak and unable to return to heaven at that time.

"What is fashion, fashion?" Zhang Lingyun was full of surprise, waiting for his uncle to answer his questions.

"The most popular thing now is to play mahjong, fire three cannons, stamp and charge, this time the imperial court ambassador also specially brought mahjong, to say that that thing is really a good thing to pass the time," the five elders said while rubbing their hands, as if their hands were bitten by mosquitoes and itching.

"What are these things?" Zhang Lingyun looked puzzled, he had never heard of these obscure terms.

"This mahjong game arose from the sea voyage period a long time ago, and it spread rapidly in the officialdom of the capital from some point to time, and officials of all sizes tried to lose money at the card table, secretly forming a party for personal gain, colluding with each other, in exchange for their own official fortune," the five elders were like a storyteller, and began to tell Zhang Lingyun the latest facts.

"Huh...... , isn't it blatantly accepting bribes," Zhang Lingyun took out the kettle that had just been filled by the stream and put it next to the five elders, and continued to listen to Uncle Shi angrily reprimanding the officials of the Qing Dynasty.

"This firing of three guns is diametrically opposite, officials go to relatively remote provinces to take up posts, first pretend to collect taxes at a discount is called 'reverse artillery', in the price reduction of taxes is called 'balance cannon', and when they leave office, they repeatedly operate it called 'firing guns'. "In this way, three times of fishing, local officials at all levels can get tens of thousands of taels of silver. ”

"Seal fees since the founding of the Qing Dynasty has been, among which the most abundant oil and water is the 'donation', that is, the secret operation of selling officials, those who want to be promoted to Beijing need to ask their fellow Beijing officials to seal and recommend, and some officials are specifically responsible for matchmaking and collecting benefits from it, so that the oil and water of the officials have skyrocketed and the corruption has increased, and those officials who have spent huge sums of money are like tigers pounced, only to know the crazy wealth to recover the principal, and they have forgotten their original intention of Kuang Fu Sheji," the five elders finished speaking in one breath, and picked up the kettle to moisten the thirsty and hoarse throat.

"Corruption has eroded the officials of the Qing Dynasty, and the court has been abandoned by these pedantic people, and the Qing Dynasty is afraid that it will be ....... ”

"Even though this country has fallen apart and decayed inside and out, its dignity cannot be easily trampled on by others," the five elders' words flickered but not clear, as if waiting for Zhang Lingyun to take the initiative to introduce the topic.

"Dare to ask Uncle Shi, what is the situation of the visit to the imperial court that you mentioned before?" Zhang Lingyun didn't hear the answer he wanted, remembering that the three elders were going back to set up a banquet during the day, and he didn't know who had such special treatment to make all the senior uncles care so much.

"Prince Yishen is now staying in our Taiping Palace, let us assist the imperial court in building a 'tower' to monitor outsiders," the five elders looked depressed, as if they did not want to participate in the bloodsucking game of the leeches in the imperial court.

"The imperial court is very disgusted and disdainful of foreign products, how can they be jealous of them this time?" Zhang Lingyun has neither a good impression nor a very tired of such a court, and just hopes that it will not be related to him.

"The imperial court sent people to infiltrate the clubs in various places to obtain substantial evidence, and found that many evil forces united with local bullies, privately occupied the fields to fill their own pockets, bullied and abducted women and locked them up as prostitutes, men were transported overseas to do hard labor, and children were sent to do some live experiments, all of which were despicable and dirty deeds, and this group of jackals and birds of prey dressed in human skins were not eliminated from the anger of the common people, and the hearts of the people were not eliminated," the five elders' expressions of righteous indignation were diametrically opposed to just now, and they were eager to kill them immediately to the gathering place of foreigners.

"The imperial court has always implemented the policy of closing the country to the outside world, what can a group of stragglers do to make a big deal?" The speed of the five elders' face change made Zhang Lingyun extremely uncomfortable, he had seen the tragic situation of slaughtering the city, and now he was more concerned about how to solve the problem fundamentally, rather than beating his chest and fighting his tongue here.

"Hehe, this is to say those court officials who are in line with the yin and yang, they deceived the old Emperor Qian, and privately let those merchants with wolf ambitions in, and the merchants took advantage of the convenience of transporting goods and opening banks to arrange their cronies to bribe the families of various important officials, so as to achieve their true goal of controlling the economy of the Qing Dynasty. ”

"What about Master's final decision?" Zhang Lingyun had a premonition that he would usher in endless trouble, so he could only try to understand as much as possible about the trend of the situation and do some preventive work in advance in case of emergency.

"Prince Yishen brought 30,000 stragglers to surround the Taiping Palace, put your brothers under house arrest and not go out, and agreed to the will of the imperial court a few days ago, I wanted to send Ling Shuang to Tianjian Ya to hide for a while when I set off this time, but I didn't expect you to have an emergency, it seems that this matter has to be discussed in the long run," the five elders thought of how to alleviate the tension between his master and apprentice.

"This matter is simple, as long as a few uncles keep their mouths shut and never mention the matter of meeting today, I will go to the Taiping Palace to pick up Senior Sister Lingshuang in a while. ”

"This method is not proper, how to explain the earth-shaking and violent catastrophe here? Besides, your third uncle's bad wine, after a few glasses of wine, he will definitely brag about today's events, if Prince Yishen knows about this deception, we will be guilty of deceitful king, and he will have a reason to wantonly bully and exploit us, and the gains outweigh the losses," the fifth elder lightly tested the beads of sweat dripping from the corners of his forehead, and stretched out his hand and gently waved it as if it was too hot to stir up the cool breeze.

"It's still Uncle Shi's cautious and thoughtful thinking, but this blue water lotus mark has ruined the master's major event, and let Senior Sister Ling Shuang suffer from the war, Ling Yun is worthy of the master's teaching, "The fifth elder's pediatric plan is too low-end, Zhang Lingyun is no longer like the simple and kind little boy under the training of those old monsters."

"It's good that you understand, and it's not in vain that Senior Brother is always thinking about you. ”

"Since he has chosen to assist the imperial court in resisting the foreign bandits, why is Uncle Shi so sad?" Zhang Lingyun's heart was broken, he was like a weak creature drifting with the tide, and the frustration of just getting out of the tiger's den and about to re-enter the wolf's den arose.

"Prince Yishen hates the cruelty brought by outsiders to the people, and hopes to fight back to regain his dignity, it just so happens that those barbarians want to meet friends with force under the Forbidden City, Prince Yishen came this time to negotiate this matter, let us rub the sharp spirit of those outsiders on the martial arts field, if we can kill them, it would be better," the five elders were afraid that this trip would bury the lives of these children, and their resistance was very strong.

Although Prince Rong's ideas are cruel and cold-blooded, they can stimulate the blood of ordinary people, and they can experience the strength of the country, regain the spirit of resistance that is unwilling to give in, and have the courage to fight to the death for the rise and fall of the country. ”

"Okay, good, I didn't expect my nephew to have such incisive remarks at such an age, if it weren't for the cultivation of immortals and asking, I would definitely be able to get the position of a master in the mortal world," Zhang Lingyun's avant-garde and inspirational analysis ignited the patriotic feelings of the five elders.

"Uncle Shi is really Miao, I don't know how Prince Yishen wants us to help?"

"Prince Yishen was ordered to summon people of insight to rush to Tianjin, Shanghai and other coastal areas to drive away those overbearing outsiders, we do not have the lethal weapons of foreign guns and foreign artillery, we can only use our own flesh and blood to build defense, but it is not enough to have an indomitable spirit, then the talisman we made can be put to use. ”

"Master's meaning, we only need to distribute talismans, and we don't need to charge into battle to kill the enemy?"

"Xiao Yu, although the monks of the Cave Void Period have the ability to split mountains and reclaim the sea, they can't withstand the protracted war of attrition of thousands of troops, and besides, those senior brothers of yours are only the cultivation of the Jindan Period, if they really encounter the profound power of cultivation, it is as easy as stepping on ants to kill them if they want to kill them," the fifth elder sighed helplessly, sad that his usual laziness caused his cultivation to be low and unable to reverse the situation.

"Uncle Shi, no matter how low our cultivation is now, one day everyone will be able to ascend to immortal!"

"I also hope that what you said will come true, the master brother is just afraid that you will be in deep danger, so he will win a good treatment with one enemy and ten forces. ”

Although the words of the five elders were so relaxed, the tragic battle at that time was vivid, it was not easy for immortal cultivators to fight without spiritual power and only rely on their physical bodies, Zhang Shanxing was even more against the ten top masters of the Qing Dynasty, and they could not be injured in the battle, so Zhang Shanxing also broke a few ribs, and he could only get out of bed and walk this month.

"Shizun is a master of the Cave Void Realm, and it is easy to beat them. ”

"Hmph~, you are really your own master, and he couldn't get out of bed until he was injured for more than half a year," the fifth elder corrected Zhang Lingyun's superficial thoughts in time.

"Ahem, ahem...... , Those soldiers have no spiritual power fluctuations in their bodies, how can they activate the talisman?" Zhang Lingyun didn't expect such a powerful character, without a talisman, he couldn't defeat ten ordinary people, and he couldn't accept it in his heart, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

"Ordinary white talismans can be used by everyone, but the attack power of the talisman is not strong, and the more advanced talismans need some special methods to write, but our experiment has not progressed yet," the fifth elder looked in a trance, dodging this matter is definitely not simple.

"It's getting late, Uncle Shi should rest early, and tomorrow I will trouble Uncle Shi to take me back," Zhang Lingyun has mastered his spiritual power to the extreme over the years, but he didn't want to expose his true strength too early in front of these people with secret minds, so he didn't talk to him.
