Chapter 582: Changing the Heavens and the Earth

As Jiang Hao himself said, if you want to subvert the entire White Snake Legend world and cut off the foundation of the Heavenly Gods and Buddhas, you need to rely on the power of sentient beings, and the scholar class can play an extremely important role in it because of the particularity of its status and status, but the other classes that are thousands of times more important than them are also extremely important.

Xiaoqing obviously doesn't understand this truth, living in this world, she will inevitably be affected by the mundane, which will create such a list, record those who have a high status in the eyes of ordinary people, she doesn't know that for Tiandao, the emperor and the beggar are both ants, and there is no difference.

Jiang Hao naturally would not make such a mistake, because at the beginning of his actions, he only regarded these officials and gentry as important fulcrums, and what he wanted to do was to connect more people together through these fulcrums, so as to leverage the whole world.

Under Jiang Hao's control, machines such as textile machines, internal combustion engines, and other machines that should have appeared in later generations appeared in the Great Song Dynasty in the world of the White Snake hundreds of years in advance, and all kinds of factories sprung up under the operation of the gentry and powerful people, including countless mortals, so that they unknowingly became a part of Jiang Hao's command.

In modern terms, this is called the rise of the bud of capitalism, but under the catalytic stimulation of Jiang Hao, this sprout has grown in an almost crazy and deformed way, and in just fifteen years, it has covered most of the Song Dynasty, and the number of people affected by it is unknown.

It's like a snowball, at first, it may be the size of a fist, but as more and more snowflakes get involved in it, by the end of the day, it will be as unstoppable as an avalanche, completely changing the whole world.

Twenty years is not a long time, but it is also short, for the gods and Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the sky, it is just a retreat, if there are immortals who are drunk and sleepy, they may wake up, and twenty years will pass.

But in the past 20 years, the changes that have taken place in the world have far exceeded those of the previous 100 years and 1,000 years.

Treating these ant-like mortals, the gods and Buddhas have always been high, they will care which monster violates the rules of heaven, which mortal is disrespectful to the gods, but they don't care about the changes that happen to these ants, and they don't notice that under their noses, a completely different world has been born unconsciously.

Even Guanyin didn't notice these details, her eyes were already on Bai Shilin, the new champion, and soon found out that this Bai Shilin was the reincarnation of the Wenqu star he was looking for, Xu Shilin.

After she sent Xu Shilin to Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong, she returned to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea, leaving only two King Kongs to secretly protect Wenqu Xing from being harmed by demons.

The power of the demons in the world of the White Snake is extremely weak, in Guanyin's view, with these two Vajra protectors of the True Immortal Realm, Wenqu Xing's safety is already foolproof, because after she returned to Luojia Mountain, she invited a group of Bodhisattva Buddhas to hold a Jialan Sutra meeting, waiting for Wenqu Xing to grow up and eliminate the catastrophe.

But what she didn't expect was that in the current world of the White Snake, there was an extra Jiang Hao who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and the Vajra Protector of the two True Immortal Realms was not worth mentioning at all in front of Jiang Hao, so she easily gave away Wenqu Xing a bag, and used a change technique to blind these two King Kongs.

By the time Guanyin found out that something was wrong, it was already thirteen years later, Xu Xian took the fake Xu Shilin to the Guanyin Temple to burn incense, and begged the Bodhisattva to bless Xu Shilin to pass the exam and not be expelled from the academy.

The reincarnation of the dignified Wenqu Xing actually asked the Bodhisattva to let him pass the exam without being expelled from the academy, such a strange thing naturally aroused Guanyin's suspicions, and after coming to investigate in person, he suddenly found that this Wenqu Xing was fake, and he really didn't know when it had been dropped.

Guanyin is not worried about the safety of Wenquxing, as the person who should be robbed, Wenquxing will encounter many tribulations, but death is almost impossible, but being so calculated and played by others makes her feel that she has lost face and is a little annoyed.

But a full thirteen years have passed, and Jiang Hao is secretly covering it up, Guanyin spent half a day of effort, but she couldn't find any clues, and in the end she could only order the boy gods and the believers in the mortal world to find the whereabouts of Wenqu Xing.

With such a needle-in-a-haystack approach, it is difficult to find a person in the mortal world, and West Lake was ignored by them at the beginning because of the darkness under the lights, and they subconsciously thought that it was impossible to be here, so they searched for several years, but there was no result.

Until, at the request of Jiang Hao, Xu Shilin began to participate in the imperial examination.

Xu Shilin is the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, and he is far from being comparable, as soon as he participated in the imperial examination, he began to emerge, and there were a number of officials who were secretly taking care of him, from the township examination to the meeting examination and then to the palace examination, without wasting a little time, and he became the champion of the new department.

Fame is a thing, Xu Shilin's own talent has already been ten, coupled with countless scholars who advocate for him desperately, in just a few years, his name is not limited to the scope of the Great Song Dynasty, and some people claim that "the sky is not born Shilin, and this world is like a long night", which elevated him to the status of a sage in the world.

Such a boast is already a killing for ordinary people, but Xu Shilin has won the top prize, Wenqu Xing has returned to his position, coupled with the support of Xiaoqing's forces that have been secretly developed over the years, everyone in the world is unconvinced for a while, and as for his twenty-year-old age, he has long been ignored.

In this case, it was naturally impossible for Guanyin not to notice him, and naturally discovered his true identity and Xiaoqing in the White Mansion of West Lake.

Today is the day of the return of the new champion, the whole city of Hangzhou is full of lights from the city of Hangzhou to the edge of the West Lake, the trees on both sides of the road are hung with big red satin, the green is dyed into red makeup, there are still some weeds and gravel on the ground in the past, but now it is clean and clean, and the dust is not clean.

The officials stood on both sides of the road, separating the people who came to greet them, so as not to disturb the upcoming champions, but this did not reduce the enthusiasm of the people in the slightest, and they were talking excitedly one by one, which was much more lively than in the past for the New Year.

The prefect of Hangzhou led a group of officials to stand ten miles away from the city gate, constantly looking into the distance, and from time to time tidying up their clothes to see if they had not done a good job, for fear that they would be rude.

If it was an ordinary champion, they would naturally not be so nervous, and it would already be very face-saving to be able to stand at the gate of the city, but the champion in front of him was different, not only because his reputation in the world was too great, but more importantly, they also belonged to one of Jiang Hao's forces, and this Xu Shilin was equivalent to his young master.

Seeing the sun rising in the sky, the prefect of Hangzhou looked a little anxious, and couldn't help but ask left and right: "Where is Zhuang Yuanlang now? Why hasn't he arrived yet? Is there an accident on the road?"

The master hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord! Just now, the official came to report, saying that the champion Lang is still more than ten miles here, and it won't take long for the adults to see the champion Lang!"

As he was talking, he heard the sound of gongs and drums, and from a distance he saw a group of people and horses walking towards him, and at the front was a group of officials, all dressed in bright red and joyful colors, leading the way, and behind them was the invited band, which was playing desperately, blowing so that their faces were red and swollen.

And in the middle of the procession, on a tall horse, sat a young man, who looked about twenty years old, wearing a big red robe, with a handsome face and an elegant temperament.

"Quick! Let's catch up quickly! Don't let Zhuang Yuanlang wait in a hurry!" The prefect of Hangzhou was overjoyed, and he didn't care about anything else, so he took three steps and two steps forward.

Among the officials behind him, most of them were people on Xiaoqing's roster, who only walked a few steps at first, but in the end, he was afraid that he would be slow, and he couldn't care about his official authority, so he trotted all the way, wanting to show his face in front of Xu Shilin.

Xu Shilin was originally a smart person, and he didn't know the layout of Xiaoqing and Jiang Hao at first, but over the years, he has gradually discovered that something is wrong, and he is no longer surprised by the scene in front of him.

But he couldn't lose the etiquette that should be there, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, gave a deep salute, and said: "Your lords have deigned to come here, it's really tormenting the students!"

The prefect of Hangzhou hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Shilin up, and said: "Champion Lang is polite! We in Hangzhou have finally produced a champion over the years, and it is still a third yuan in Lianzhong, which is really our luck and Hangzhou's luck! Not to mention taking these few extra steps, even if it is farther away, it is also a matter of course! Everyone says that this is not the reason?"

"Yes, yes, yes, what my lord said is exactly what we think in our hearts, and it is our blessing to be able to come to greet the champion!" the officials nodded busily, and all of them looked smiling, not at all looking like they were welcoming a new champion, but welcoming their immediate superiors.

The prefect of Hangzhou even asked Xu Shilin to sit back on the horse, and personally led the horse, putting his posture very low.

However, Xu Shilin obviously didn't pay much attention to these, just walked around the city, looking in the direction of the West Lake from time to time, and others only said that this champion was homesick, but he didn't know that he didn't see Baifu at all, but the Leifeng Pagoda next to the West Lake.
