Preaching begins with Tai Chi

Chapter 186 Liangshan New Atmosphere (5000 words)
Since he planned to fall into the grass, Yang Zhi didn't want to be a gentleman anymore. Relying on the strength of the Jindan warrior, he borrowed a lot of gold and silver from rich families along the way to pay for the travel expenses, and there was no one who was not welcome.

While this made Yang Zhi feel refreshed, it also made him confused about his persistence in the past.

In the Shenzhou Realm, Taoism is respected, and there are not many golden talisman real people in the world, but the number of golden elixir warriors is not many, and most of them come from the general system of the forbidden army.

They were the core force of the entire Huang Song Dynasty, but they were suppressed and looked down upon.

Dao is expensive but martial is cheap.

The martial arts in Shenzhou are basically systems inherited from demons, and they all have flaws to varying degrees, and they are far from being comparable to the Taoist talisman system that can truly live forever.

In the past, the Yang family hoped to obtain a fundamental Taoism as an inheritance, and complete the magnificent transformation from the general family to the family of cultivating immortals, but it failed.

There are countless cultivation resources in the world, and the various Daoist sects and aristocratic families simply don't want to see new "meat eaters" appear.

In today's Emperor Song Dynasty, there are monsters making troubles from time to time everywhere, and there are already signs of a revolution. Yang Zhi's choice to fall into the grass at this time is also the only choice in desperation.

But Liang Shanbo brought him too many surprises.

This is not a group of vicious gangsters, but rather a well-organized and methodical one.

Collecting tolls is not a fancy name, but a real way to build bridges and pave the way, and there is a fixed toll standard, which will not vary from person to person, and will be treated differently.

Moreover, it also guarantees the safety, board and lodging of all business travelers in Liangshanbo.

Therefore, even though it was ruled by a group of bandits, it was actually more prosperous than the nearby counties.

The food in the inn is not exquisite, but it is also of good quality and cheap, especially the various fish in the river, which are brought fresh by fishermen every day.
The people who ate in the private room with Yang Zhi and others were merchants who transported grain from the south to the north. They talked about public security and government officials along the way, and they all felt that Liang Shanbo was actually clearer than the government, and there were not so many hateful corrupt officials. dirty officials.

When Yang Zhi was eating, his appearance had already been recorded by the waiter, and a special person drew a picture and passed it to the shopkeeper, and then reported it up layer by layer.

So when Yang Zhi and the others had just finished their lunch, Zhu Gui, the general manager of Liangshan Catering Group, had already appeared at the inn.

With a businessman's smile on his face, Zhu Gui cupped his hands at Yang Zhi: "Dare to ask a hero's origin, birthplace and name, what's your business in Liangshan?"

The main reason is that the temperament of the imperial army is too obvious in this group of people, especially Yang Zhi, who is the leader, seems to be a stubborn idea that is not easy to provoke.

Yang Zhi sighed: "The Sa family is the descendant of three generations of generals, the grandson of the fifth Marquis Yang Linggong, his surname is Yang, and his name is Zhi..."

Old Yang Zhi was unlucky, first he sent the flower and stone plank to sink in the Yellow River, and then he sent the birthday plan to be robbed, but his heart of serving the country with fists and fists could only be turned into a bandit, and his words were full of desolation.

The fall of the birthday guide happened near Liangshan, Zhu Gui had heard about it a long time ago, but he didn't expect Yang Zhi to fall into the grass, so he hurriedly reported it to the village, and then arranged a boat to take Yang Zhi and his party to the village.

Along the way, rivers criss-crossed and reeds grew thickly, forming a faint formation. Yang Zhi knew the art of war, so he could tell at a glance that Liangshanbo was not easy to mess with. He had to have an army ten times larger than it would be difficult to destroy.

When I got to the top of Liangshan, I could only see large-scale construction projects, and the contributors were not artisans and coolies, but mountain scumbags. The leader was a burly and strong man with a Taoist scarf, which looked nondescript.

With hundreds of people watching, this strong man took out a tens of thousands of kilograms of boulder from the soil with just a hug, and easily lifted it over his head. The surrounding people immediately cheered and praised.

The strong man placed the boulder at the intersection, and just picked it out with his hands, and the boulder was like mud, allowing it to be manipulated, and almost instantly, a unicorn sculpture was formed.

"This is our village master in Liangshan, Brother Lu Da, who is sure to take the top spot!" Zhu Gui introduced with a smile: "Brother Lu, this is Yang Zhi, who was born in the Imperial Army, and a descendant of Old Master Yang. I lost my birth date and couldn't do business, so I brought ten forbidden soldiers up the mountain to fall grass, and came here to join me in Liangshan!"

Lu Da clapped his hands casually, knocked off the plaster on his hands, and looked at Yang Zhi: "If you want to go to Liangshan, you need to have three taboos. The first one: don't bully the good, and the second one: don't break your promise , the third item: Do not kill innocent people indiscriminately! If you are not satisfied with one item, then go down the mountain!"

When Yang Zhi heard about Lu Da's three taboos, he became suspicious. If he obeys the rules, is he an official or a bandit?
You must know that even the Forbidden Army of the Emperor and Song Dynasty could hardly have such strict requirements, and oppression of goodness is a common phenomenon.

But Yang Zhi was dedicated to glorifying his ancestors, and his subordinates also practiced with peace of mind. They had never committed any of these, so he agreed without hesitation.

Lu Da nodded: "You have never eaten people, have you? If there are people who eat people, they are more evil than demons. Not only can the Sa family not be brothers with him, but they must get rid of them with their own hands!"

In ancient China in Li Mi's previous life, cannibalism was a common occurrence, especially during the troubled times when dynasties changed.

However, in the Shenzhou Realm, personal combat power has been greatly improved. A Jindan fighter like Yang Zhi can completely feed the grain for a long time, and perhaps food is even easier. Under such circumstances, it must be hopeless to eat people The generation of medicine.

Yang Zhi hastily swore that he had never eaten a human being before, and he will definitely not in the future.

Only then did Lu Da accept Yang Zhi, and after a test, he was worthy of being a general and skilled in military strategy. Compared with Lin Chong, who was a coach, he was actually more suitable to be in charge of Liangshan soldiers.

But the newcomer came here for the first time and hadn't made any achievements, so naturally he couldn't be promoted suddenly. He just became the last position in Liangshan first, and he was divided into a team of thousands of people.

Yang Zhi was born as a general, and he has ten trusted guards. It is very easy to practice and command this thousand-man team. In addition, today's Liangshan does not rob houses, does not kill officials and rebels, but just collects tolls with peace of mind, which is better than Yang Zhi's earliest expectations. There are many people, so they quickly integrated into Liangshan.

At the same time, in the Palace of Eight Views on Laojun Mountain, Li Mi summoned Zhou Xuan again.

"I've seen the real Tai Chi!" Zhou Xuan saluted Li Mi.

Although Zhou Xuan is nearly a hundred years older than Li Mi, those who have reached the top of the road of practice are the first. Now all the spirit stones rely on Li Mi and have many times of preaching, so Zhou Xuan naturally treats Li Mi as a half teacher depending on it.

"Sword Master Zhou has achieved the golden core, do you have any plans for future practice?" Li Mi smiled.

Zhou Xuan pondered for a moment: "There are real people who provide sufficient cultivation resources, and you can improve steadily while sitting in the mountains, but if you want to practice the way of great harmony, you must go down the mountain to practice. Now is the catastrophe sweeping the entire Divine Continent. Arrangement, I am willing to obey the decree of the real person!"

Zhou Xuan wanted to practice the Way of Great Harmony in the Divine Continent, to see if the supreme ideal of "everyone is equal and the world is Great Harmony" can still be realized in an environment where there is such a huge gap in personal strength.

But as a member of the Taiji Sect, it is natural to follow Li Mi's strategic plan and not mess up the overall situation.

Li Mi nodded slightly: "This catastrophe is the first catastrophe in the Shenzhou Realm since Zhang Daoling set up the supreme Xuanyuan Qingwei Luotian formation 8000 years ago. The entire Shenzhou will set off a bloodbath. If you escape from the world and practice on the Junshan Mountain, the poor will definitely be able to protect you, but if you go down the mountain and enter the robbery, everything will depend on your own creation!"

"Now that Lu Da, Wu Song, and Dai Zong have secured their position as village masters on Liangshan Bo, Liangshan will definitely be the center of the storm of the entire catastrophe when all the stars gather together in the future. You don’t have to worry, but if the system is capable of governing, it’s still far behind! If things go on like this, it won’t last long!”

"If you are willing to go down the mountain to help Luda and subtly guide the demon stars, you will have the opportunity to push the way of great harmony to the entire Divine Continent, but the possibility of success is only one tenth. If you really want to be robbed, poor Dao can't protect you well!"

"Sword Master Zhou, you can think about it carefully."

Li Mi's layout is definitely not just to let Lu Da and the others sit firmly as the leader of Liangshan, and then wait to compete with Chao Gai and Song Jiang for power and profit. This is too simple and narrow.

The real purpose is to change the world, truly break the order of the entire Divine Continent, and then rebuild it on top of the ruins.

But the demon stars in Liangshan, except for one "doing justice for the sky", have no political and ideological policies at all. Yes, they are just pawns laid by Zhang Daoling before his ascension, a tool for fighting with demons, and there is no need to think about it long.

But to completely transform Liangshan, transform it into a team with its own political program, and go all the way, not only Chao Gai Song Jiang can't do it, Lu Da and the others can't do it, even Li Mi himself can't do it .

He is just a cultivator who is open.

But Zhou Xuan can.

Therefore, Li Mi never underestimated Zhou Xuan, and never underestimated the way of great harmony.

If the avenues of Tai Chi, Yin and Yang are the fundamental avenues of the universe, then the Dao of Great Harmony is the final and perfect form of humanity developed to the extreme.

Although Zhou Xuan gradually treated Li Mi with the courtesy of a half-master, Li Mi always treated Zhou Xuan as a fellow Taoist.

"Poverty is willing to go!" Zhou Xuan accepted the commission without hesitation.

The Divine Tribulation is certainly a great crisis, but it is also a great opportunity.

Whether the Way of Great Harmony can be practiced, Liangshan is almost a perfect testing ground.

What is there to fear in life and death?

Wasn't the Tianxia Republic back then built on the sacrifices of individual comrades who sacrificed their lives?

Li Mi solemnly took out the five-party five-element flag and handed it to Zhou Xuan.

"These five flags are the Wuji Xinghuang flag in the center, the blue Baolian flag in the east, the flame flag in the south, the plain cloud border flag in the west, and the Zhenwu soap carving flag in the north. The five-color flags represent the five elements and are used separately. Mysterious-level magic weapon, combined together, possesses five forms, and is mysterious and extraordinary. Now I will give it to my fellow Taoists as a magic weapon to protect myself against catastrophe."

Zhou Xuan had held the Wuji Xinghuang Banner and Su Seyunjie Banner successively. He knew the power of the five elements magic weapon for a long time, so he quickly thanked him before accepting it.

Li Mi also taught Zhou Xuan the "Five Elements Xuanzheng", one-on-one preaching and counseling for three months.

He opened the furnace to refine Yuqian Pill and Shentong Pill, ordered Zhou Xuan to take them, and then watched Zhou Xuan go down the mountain.

Now there are more than [-] disciples in Laojun Mountain, Zhou Xuan only took away seven of them, and the others are far from mature, no matter in terms of ideology or realm, they are handed over to disciple Zhang Yuanfeng to teach and manage.

After Zhou Xuan left, Li Mi summoned Ye Changsheng again.

That's right, only five months later, Ye Changsheng also condensed a first-grade golden pill, only after Zhou Xuan.

In terms of cultivation level alone, Ye Changsheng is also a heavenly genius, only a step behind the top-ranked Tiangang star in the Water Margin Demon Star, and he is already rare among mortals.

Li Mi recruited Ye Changsheng, gave him "Six Extremes of Heaven and Kun" and a map of mountains, rivers and land, and ordered him to go down the mountain to travel around Shenzhou and fill up the map of mountains, rivers, and land before returning to the mountain.

It will be at least 20 years later when we go down the mountain and return.

Ye Changsheng devoted himself to cultivation, but he was too pure. With such a pure and innocent Taoist heart, there is no obstacle to achieving the Golden Core, but there are great obstacles to achieving the Longevity Fruit Status.

The world of mortals is rolling in the great catastrophe, just now is a good environment for cultivating the mind in the past.

Of course, Li Mi did not treat his precious disciples badly. He also took Yuqian Pill and Shentong Pill, plus the two magic weapons of Shanhe Sheji Tu and Xuanhuang Zhong.

Although Li Mi himself is only a golden elixir real person, what he has achieved is a chaotic infinite Dao golden elixir, coupled with several earth-level magic weapons, his real combat power has already reached the level of a real king, so he can be a chess player with peace of mind confidence.

Moreover, the cultivation from Jindan to Yuanying, for Li Mi, is just a smooth sailing, without any barriers.

Zhou Xuan took seven disciples of the same Dao, and flew all the way to the east. Seeing that the demonic energy was surging to the sky, and the Taoism was not manifested, he knew that he had reached the boundary of Liangshan.

The seven disciples behind him have all reached the foundation building stage. Three of them have ascended from Tianxia, ​​and the four of them are the seeds carefully selected by Zhou Xuan in the Shenzhou Realm. They all have a firm heart of great unity and fearlessness Spirit, what is lacking is practice.

As soon as they pressed the cloud head in front of Liangshan, the three of Lu Da put down their work and came to welcome them together.

If Li Mi was a master who taught Lu Da and the others, then Zhou Xuan was a profound and wise man, and every sentence was simple and meaningful.

Not to mention that if Zhou Xuan hadn't held a plain cloud flag to spread the thick fog when he was robbing the dharma field in the capital, he might have been locked up in the capital by the city protection array, and then caught in Lin Lingsu's urn.

The three of them were even more overjoyed when they heard Zhou Xuan's reason for coming.

You must know that since Lin Chonghuo merged with Wang Lun, in just half a year, Liangshan has more than [-] people, and the total number of people exceeds [-]. It is very troublesome to manage.

Both Lu Da and Wu Song Dai Zong are standard thugs and heroes, let alone have no experience in governing, even if they have, they are unwilling to use their brains and are willing to implement.

Zhou Xuan's arrival is really timely for the three of Lu Da!
Zhou Xuan did not carry out drastic reforms as soon as he came up, but first took seven disciples up and down to investigate inside and outside for three months, and traveled all over the entire Liangshan Po and the vicinity for thousands of miles. Liangshanbo Investigation Report".

Liangshanbo is a place with a very outstanding geographical location. It is located in the east of Shenzhou, on the traffic arteries from the capital to the sea, and from Daming Mansion to Jiangnan. It is a natural transportation hub.

And because of the monstrous aura at Liangshan Po, it has gradually influenced generations of people in the vicinity over the past hundred years, forming a character of contempt for the king's law, unyielding to oppression, and loyalty first, which is simply a petri dish for a hero.

Coupled with the increasing exploitation and oppression of the Song Dynasty, there was naturally a soil for uprising and resistance. This is a good thing, but there are also many places that need hard work.

The way of great harmony is by no means just a big bowl of drinking, a big scale of gold, and the level of robbing the rich and helping the poor.

This requires long-term education and practice to gradually change people's hearts.

The difficulty was very great and the time was very tight, but Zhou Xuan was full of fighting spirit in his heart.

Regarding Zhou Xuan's investigation report, Lu Da and the others read it fascinatedly, and realized the deep reasons behind many superficial factors.

The Way of Great Harmony is indeed not a small way, but a very powerful way.

Lu Da and Wu Song are naturally interested in the Way of Great Harmony, even though they have become rulers, the so-called superiors.

Dai Zong was not interested in the Way of Great Harmony, but since his two older brothers were learning, he followed suit.

As a result, the management of Liangshan gradually fell into Zhou Xuan's hands, but no one dared to object.

The entire Liangshan, a monstrous evil cave in the eyes of outsiders, has changed again, heading in a direction that the world did not expect.

The loss and robbery of the birthday outline angered the Taoist Emperor Zhao Ji and the Lord of Shenxiao Mansion Lin Lingsu, and sent a Buxu real person to Yuncheng County, Jezhou to thoroughly investigate the big case.

This real person is amazing, he is one of the eminent monks who went to Shenxiao Mountain to "discuss Taoism" with Lin Lingsu. He used to be Zen Master Zhizhen of Wutai Mountain, but now his Taoist name has been changed to "Xuanzhen".

In terms of Taoism, Taoist Xuanzhen is in the realm of emptiness, and in terms of human sophistication, Taoist Xuanzhen is far superior to ordinary Taoists. Although the altar where Gongsun Sheng cast spells in Yunlong was destroyed, Xuanzhen still found many traces.

After this investigation, Xuanzhen was shocked, this dharma altar, this Taoism actually came from the Shangqing sect among the three great immortal mountains!
Xuanzhen is a rare and confused person, whether it is the Shenxiao faction or the Shangqing faction, he can't afford to offend, so he just assigns tasks to groups, and he just sits in meditation and no longer pursues it himself.

The task was pressed down from the governor of Jeju, all the way to Zhu Dian, the head of the patrolling horse soldiers. This Zhu Dian is also one of the magic stars, ranking among the Tiangang.

With Zhu Dian's professional ability, he quickly found clues and found the head of Chao Tianwang.

Although Zhu Tie didn't practice superior Taoism, didn't know his identity as a magic star descended from the sky, and couldn't recognize other magic stars, he naturally became close to Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng and others.

Lei Heng, another patrolling infantry, is also one of the magic stars from the sky, and asking the magic star to catch the magic star, isn't this letting the mouse look at the grain depot?
So Zhu Dian cleverly leaked the news of Chao Gai's arrest to Song Yasi, who was the famous Song Jiang who rained in time.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, a small Yuncheng County, is not surprising that so many magic stars have gathered. Who made Yuncheng County be on the edge of Liangshanbo?
Chao Gai and others got the news and ran away overnight, committing such a serious crime, they had no choice but to go to Liangshan.
