Chapter 117: Scholars Mess with the Law
Min Min and the others prepared for four or five days before they waited for the Seven Gates to send out to sea.
I don't know how Luo Bing and the others negotiated with the Qinling Sword Sect, anyway, Taohuawu didn't leave for a long time.
And in order to ensure that the strange soldiers of Taohuawu played a role, Zhou Yi did not inform Min Min about their attachment. Of course, this is not to worry about the three girls leaking secrets, but mainly to guard against Zhen Yao of Tianjimen.
That day, she spied on the matter of the Tibetan Scripture Transmission Pavilion, which really made Zhou Yi suspicious of her. In addition, there are also a cadre of Jinyi Gate next to them, and there are many people, so as not to let the seven major sects know the news.
I can't wait for Taohuawu to be dispatched, but the seven major factions have already set off. It was impossible for Min Min to delay because of just a peach blossom dock, so after giving Zhou Yi an explanation, she led the Tianji Gate, Jinyi Gate, and the half-elf guards around Yishang and Xuan'er to go to sea. Hundreds of people, riding three large sea boats, went down the river, following the footsteps of the seven major factions, towards the Holy Fire Island.
"Young master... Belch... Lord Wang!" Luo Bing stepped forward to prepare a report, and as he was talking, he suddenly remembered that Zhou Yi did not allow himself and others to call him Young Master, so he hurriedly changed his words: "The eight uncles and uncles sent by the House of Elders to support have arrived, and they can set off at any time!"
Since Luo Bing made the relationship between Taohuawu and himself clear last time, Zhou Yi naturally would not turn away this rich and close sect. It's terrifying to think about it, this peach blossom dock is inconspicuous, and it actually has fifteen masters in the Great Dao period. This is not the most powerful, their elders' house also has three masters of the upper generation of the Great Dao Period, these three have been promoted to the Great Dao Stage for decades, and the martial arts cultivation is extremely terrifying!
Dealing with the affairs of the Holy Fire Sect has made me more confident. With the addition of the two elders Xu and He, this is a full ten Great Dao Stage masters. Moreover, unlike the Seven Great Sects, these ten Great Dao Stage martial artists were all extremely familiar with the Holy Fire Sect. With them here, my trip to the Holy Fire Island can be regarded as a tourist vacation!
"Well, Lord Luowu, let's go!" With the sword on his waist, Zhou Yi walked towards the dock first. Min Min left herself alone this time, and for the sake of safety, the Xuanyuan Sword was handed over to her to take charge. Avoid something that is not eye-opening and take advantage of the opportunity to attack those close to you.
With a slurp, the Great Sage of the Rite Courtyard followed with an unhappy expression, while the other Saints of the Courtyard were expressionless.
Their group of sages thought that after the elves' affairs were dealt with, they would be able to return to Beijing. As a result, this King Wucheng gave an order, and he had to follow him to Chuyang City. It's good now, I still have to go to sea to interfere in the martial arts battle of Raushzi.
Saint Dao monks have never looked down on martial arts, let alone have to participate in them personally. The old faces of my own gang are really lost this time, alas, how can there be face!
The sooner Wu Chujun Shou Sima waited, the sooner he waited on the dock to serve this master, and according to his will, he would clean up the idle people on the dock early in the morning. Although I don't know what this master is going to do, but the group of sages he carries with him make his legs tremble, I guess it's a big deal! In the officialdom, the less you know, the better, it's rare to be confused! Therefore, Sima Yue didn't deliberately inquire, but just kept his duty and did whatever Zhou Yi arranged.
Although the team has already followed Min Min and the three of them to set off first, the manpower of Taohuawu is not small, and the total number of people up and down is also a team of hundreds of people.
The three warships of the East China Sea Fleet, which had been prepared early in the morning, carried them and sailed straight down the river to the south.
"Lord Wang, what is there to participate in the battle of these warriors? It seems that it is a little unnecessary to go to the Holy Fire Island in such a mobilization!" Seeing that he was staying alone in the bow of the ship, the Great Sage took the opportunity to come over and say.
Zhou Yi didn't look back, holding the side of the boat with one hand, and said, "Do the Great Sages think that these warriors don't enter the stream, and they are useless to the country!?"
After saying that, he turned his head to look at the Great Sage.
The latter did not answer, but his expression was deeply approving.
In the eyes of the Great Sage, don't look at those Great Dao Stage martial artists who can already resist the coercion of the Holy Dao, but they are only facing the Holy Dao cultivators below the Great Grandmaster. In the real duel, the Great Grandmaster of the Holy Dao can defeat the Great Dao Martial Artist. Of course, the premise is that you can't be close to the martial artists of the Great Dao Period. If it was against the Sage, then the Great Dao Stage Martial Artist would be even more powerless. Because the Holy Dao's own coercion can force them to lose their combat effectiveness.
Because of this, the struggle between these warriors, in his opinion, is completely like a fight between ants.
Ignoring his attitude, Zhou Yi's eyes looked at the mouth of the sea not far away, and muttered to himself: "Although the Holy Dao Cultivator is powerful and can communicate with his own Holy Dao cultivation to communicate powerful Holy Power Battle, in fact, it is not his own cultivation that has reached that amazing level. If the Holy Power is ineffective against the enemy, then the Holy Dao Monk is just an ordinary person who can be slaughtered by others. ”
"How is it possible that the Holy Power is ineffective? Is there such a person in this world?" the Great Sage was shocked when he heard this, and then shook his head and said. He simply didn't believe that anyone could ignore the attack of the Holy Force.
"Hehe, has the Great Sage forgotten the black dragon a year ago?!" Zhou Yi didn't argue, just said a fact that he knew.
The Great Sage was speechless, of course he remembered the black dragon. It's also embarrassing to say, the black dragon suddenly appeared in the sky over Luojing City, trying to disturb the palace. Naturally, the powerhouses of the Holy Courtyard have also made a move, but unfortunately, even if it is the attack of the Holy One, the black dragon is immune. Even the guy's skin couldn't be injured, and in the end, it was the royal worshippers who took action to seriously injure him. If you have to guard the imperial palace and can't leave lightly, the black dragon won't be able to escape from Luojing City at all.
Thinking about it, no matter how stubborn he was, he didn't dare to deny it.
"But, Lord Wang, this black dragon-like existence is a minority after all. The orcs or elves we are going to deal with, who would dare to ignore the attacks of the holy path monks!? And these warriors, hehe, the prince must have heard of it, and the martial arts are forbidden! These people are all unruly people, and they don't study literature and science, they don't know etiquette, and it is really difficult for them to become great talents!" Since he can't deny it, he talked about the martial arts sect's disobedience to the control of the imperial court, and even overturned all the martial artists.
"The Great Sage is exaggerating!" Zhou Yi waved his hand, and then remembered the Huangfu teacher who brought him to the Qinling Empire, and there was a faint trace of sadness in his eyes, and said: "There are also great talents in the martial arts sect, not to mention my mentor, the late Huangfu Marshal, even in the imperial family, there are also people who have a lot of insights into literature and science!"
When it comes to the Emperor Fu Le Sheng, the Great Sage naturally does not dare to talk nonsense. Even if he looked down on the false name of the number one martial arts master in the official face of the Huangfu Lesheng Empire, he could not deny that this person had great achievements in the army and had great merits in the empire. Moreover, no matter how the Emperor Fu Lesheng cultivated, he could not rely on the two disciples of the family, one was the current Majesty, and the other was the King of Zhenguo Wucheng in front of him, and he could not belittle him.
You must know that Zhou Yi can now be said to be subdued by the major holy academies. Don't look at him as the head of the Rite Academy, but the major Holy Courtyards, especially the Literary Academy, where can they be afraid of the power of the Rite Academy! What people are afraid of is the strength of this person, that is the real terrifying thing!
In less than a year, he has leapt from a white body to a top-level saint of the Imperial Holy Dao Cultivator! Just this achievement is here, he is the person that the Holy Dao Monk has to worship, he is the head of the Imperial Scholar's Forest!
Thinking of Zhou Yi's achievements, the Great Sage suddenly lost his mind. Compared with Zhou Yi, are these people as old as dogs!
"For example, this Peach Blossom Dock! Great Sage, you must have been in contact with this Peach Blossom Dock disciple before. If they didn't have a body of knowledge of arts and sciences, how could they deal with the major holy academies. If they didn't have this kind of cultural heritage, they would not have been able to mingle in the Qinglou all over the empire, and they would also attract people in Shilin to make friends!"
The Great Sage was even more shocked, his words really couldn't be refuted, and what he began to say was a little biased.
This Taohuawu likes to make friends with the disciples of the Holy Academy, thinking that he knows it! Most of the disciples in the sect have been trained in the Qinglou, not to mention how powerful the Holy Dao cultivation is, just by virtue of poetry and songs, and other cultivation, they are not under many Holy Dao scholars! If it weren't for their insistence on cultivating the martial arts and mental methods of the master, many people would have been able to pass the Guò Holy Dao assessment and be promoted to a high-level literary position.
"Moreover, this king feels that the words of the Great Sage are a bit taken out of context and not comprehensive enough!" As if he felt that the blow to him was not enough, Zhou Yi continued: "Chivalry violates the prohibition with martial arts, and scholars use literature to mess with the law!"
When these words came out, even the chaotic state of mind in the heart of the Great Sage who was hit reacted instantly. In a hurry, he didn't care about etiquette, so he pointed at Zhou Yi with one hand and said: "Nonsense! Nonsense! How can a scholar mess with the law with literature!"
"Hmph, nonsense!?" Ignoring his gaffe, Zhou Yi snorted coldly and said: "If there is no scholar to mess with the law, how can there be a soldier Lin Bo and others who try to disrupt the palace ban! If there is no scholar to mess with the law, how can there be a major holy court to control the military and political power of the imperial court and interfere with the appointment, dismissal, and promotion of imperial officials! Great sage, don't sue the king, there is no such thing!"
The Great Sage trembled and prepared to refute himself, he really didn't expect it. Zhou Yi, as a saint and the head of the Rite Academy, has such a prejudice against the Holy Dao monks.
But Zhou Yi didn't wait for him to speak, he waved his hand, stopped what he was about to say, and said directly: "This king knows what you want to say, it's nothing more than that Lin Bo and his party are only a minority, and their ambitions are too great!
The Great Sage really had such an expression, and when Zhou Yi saw it, he smiled disdainfully and said, "The people in the Holy Courtyard are indeed rare talents! And most of the educated people in the empire are concentrated in the Holy Courtyard! If the king wants to govern the country, he really needs the help of the Holy Court. Moreover, this king believes that as long as he has the ability, it is understandable to control the military and political power of the country! However, the Great Sage, you ask yourself, the heads of the Holy Academy, and the disciples of the Holy Court of the Manchurian Dynasty, which of them is looking at the problem from the perspective of the ruler of the country, and which one is sincerely safeguarding the interests of the empire!?"
Speaking of this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then continued: "No matter what the attitude of the Great Sage is, anyway, in the eyes of this king, this Manchu Dynasty and the princes only have the interests of the Holy Court, and only their own Holy Dao Rank! They only know how to use the power given to them by the Empire, expand the power of the Holy Academy, and use the resources of the Empire for their Holy Dao to compete! In their opinion, the interests of the Holy Court are higher than the interests of the Empire, and the Holy Dao cultivation is higher than a qiē!"
In fact, these things were understood in the hearts of the Great Sage, and the people in the Imperial Sacred Academy understood them in their hearts! However, no one had ever said them directly like Zhou Yi, and he said them so harshly!
So, after listening to his words, the Great Sage was silent......
