The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

Two days later, everything was done. Except for a few Qin spy leaders who managed to escape, all the spies from other dynasties were caught in one fell swoop, and countless people were implicated and imprisoned.

Because there were so many criminals, the prison exceeded its designed capacity and was overcrowded. Some of the confiscated houses were even temporarily requisitioned and renovated.

There were two princes who were directly involved in the arson and assassination. They had both taken drugs and reached the peak of the sixth realm. They had long been crowned kings, and their fiefs were in other counties. They seemed very close to the throne, but in fact, it was like trying to catch the moon in the water, within sight but out of reach.

The first one is naturally the assassin who was transformed into a "living dead" on the spot by Zhao Qing in the Golden Palace.

The second one was the Fifth Prince, who had a high reputation and had been supported by Chu Qifeng of Tiangong Pavilion. However, when the incident happened, he was immediately captured by Chu, who had changed his team, along with his nephew, one of the main culprits in the workshop counterfeiting case. Both heads were sent to the Chu Palace for the sake of justice.

As for the remaining members of the royal family, either they had low cultivation and limited talent, knowing that it was impossible for them to break through to the seventh level and move mountains, so they had already laid down and chose to enjoy life; or they were stupid and deformed, unable to do anything well, and deeply afraid of the methods of Emperor Chu, so they did not get involved.

Although the number of officials and craftsmen purged in a short period of time was as large as that of the crazy strangulation of the Bashan Sword Field and its supporters during the Changling Incident of the Qin Dynasty next door.

However, thanks to Zhao Qing's precise and powerful suppression, as well as the use of technological means such as audio broadcasting and large-screen projection for propaganda, it did not cause too much turmoil, nor did it bring about panic among all classes.

Tens of thousands of little golden men patrolled the streets and alleys non-stop, which not only greatly improved the level of public security inside and outside the city of Yingdu, but also provided various convenient services to the nearby residents free of charge, such as giving directions, delivering letters, coordinating neighborhood disputes, and helping to initiate lawsuits against officials.

The work attitude is so good, the number is so large, and the status can all be heard by the "Heaven". This is undoubtedly a wonder that has not been seen in any dynasty throughout history.

Their fair, selfless and efficient performance, and the mass line they implemented, quickly won wide acclaim and trust from the people.

"For the first time, I felt that the warmth of the court was right beside me."

"These little golden men are much better than those officials and runners who only know how to eat, drink, play and make excuses all day long!"

"I used to be afraid to go to government offices to get things done. I would shrink when I saw those tall and luxurious houses and dare not speak loudly. Now that I have the little golden man, I can finally stand up straight. I can directly tell them what I want, and it will be solved quickly."

In the streets and alleys of Yingdu, teahouses and taverns, people can always be heard praising the little golden men and discussing the new policies of the imperial court. Many citizens said in interviews that they now feel more at ease and their lives have become more convenient.

"I got lost when I was walking out of the market before, and it was a little golden man who helped me find my way home." An old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "They are really considerate. Not only did they show me the way, they also walked with me for a while to ensure that I got home safely."

Another young woman also shared her experience: "This morning when I was buying groceries, I accidentally lost my purse. It was the little golden man who helped me find it. It only took half a cup of tea. The efficiency was really high, and he was very patient. He listened to me describe the style of the purse over and over again..."

In a famous academy that often comments on current affairs. "Do you think we are worried and worried because too many officials have been arrested and purged?" A scholar put down his teacup and looked at the street scene outside the window, where a few little golden men were helping an old man who had fallen down to get up.

"To be honest, I did have such concerns before." Another scholar continued, "But seeing the current situation, I feel that this is the court scraping the bone to cure the poison, and the Great Chu is reforming itself and cleansing the old diseases of our country. The whole world is about to usher in a brighter future!"

"Yes, yes! Those Qin spies and secret agents all have evil intentions and want to destroy the peace of our Great Chu. Now that they have all been caught, we can live in peace." The young student next to him echoed, a satisfied smile on his face.

Interview recordings and images like these, which showed the people's growing confidence and increasingly stable situation, were also played repeatedly on corresponding equipment installed on high platforms and pavilions in the city, further calming people's hearts and making more people look forward to Zhao Qing and the court's reform measures.

……

Last night, when the head return capsule of the Feitian spacecraft began to separate and return to the atmosphere and fall at a high speed, Zhao Xiangfei, who had heard about the recent accident a long time ago, chose to jump from a height of millions of feet in order to better train herself and promote her practice, and endure the burning of the "true fire of the stars".

Such behavior seems extremely dangerous and almost suicidal, but in fact, according to Zhao Qing's calculations and evaluation, the difficulty is not too high. The maximum speed is only about ten times the speed of sound, and the terminal speed is even less than 100m/s. It is only necessary to resist the terrifying frictional heating and sonic boom impact.

But no matter what, falling from a place that is far beyond the limits of ordinary people's imagination and hundreds of times higher than the highest mountain is still an excellent way to temper your mind, strengthen your will, and break through yourself. It requires great courage and determination, and only one in a million can do it.

With this special experience, the door to the Eight Realms of Heaven in front of Concubine Zhao seemed to have been opened a little, and it was no longer out of reach for her.

Several hours later, after circling the earth for more than ten times and slowing down, the return capsule carrying Gongshu Zhi and Zhen Lingzi successfully landed in the water at the edge of Yunmengze. Unfortunately, they were unable to drag the Yuanchen golden man down with them. After all, the weight difference between the two was hundreds of times, which made it more difficult.

So far, we have only observed, preliminarily located and calculated the orbits of the nine golden men in space. More advanced and larger spacecraft are needed to successfully receive these legacies from the Gushan Sword Sect, so that the mysterious skills recorded on them can reappear in the world and be comprehended by Zhao Qing.

Through the search and detection of the sky survey telescope, the whereabouts of the demon planet billions of miles away has been discovered. However, due to its extremely low brightness, it was only noticed during a dust eruption and then disappeared without a trace. The accuracy of the analyzed data such as its orbit and speed is limited.

There is another asteroid called "Luo" by the descendants of the You Dynasty. However, unlike the virtual Nine Yao evil stars in the general astrology, it should be a real asteroid. It has been observed to be emitting a faint blue light, getting closer and closer to the earth, and getting brighter and brighter, and it seems that it is about to fly straight towards the earth.

"The diameter of the planet 'Rahu' is probably less than one kilometer, but it emits strong light because it contains a large amount of star energy... It may seem that there is a risk of colliding with the Earth, but from a probability perspective, the chance of a collision is very small, and it will most likely pass by the Earth-Moon distance."

"Of course, assuming that this planet is also an extraterrestrial life form, then it temporarily splits off a piece of debris and aims to launch it, or chooses to land on it personally, that's another matter... If it is really a ninth-level immortal being, it can definitely have the ability to destroy the world."

"Similarly, the recent dust eruption of the demon planet is also quite suspicious. We cannot rule out the possibility that it has split into a new small piece, hiding its shape, and is also heading towards the Earth... Even if it attacks from a distance of billions of miles, it may have the power to shake a square radius of thousands or even tens of thousands of miles."

After Concubine Zhao Xiang returned, Zhao Qing, who had handed over many affairs to her and maintained close contact with her, came to the waters of Yunmengze with Xia Mi this morning and went boating. In addition to taking the two people who landed to the nearby Zhanghuatai for rest, they came here for the secret dragon tomb.

Including the shallow swamp areas on the periphery, the circumference of the entire Yunmengze lake group can reach 900 miles. It is dotted with peaks and islands. The mountains are winding and tortuous, lush and green, towering into the clouds, with peaks and ridges overlapping. The sun and the moon appear and disappear among them, and the light and shadow are intertwined, just like a fairyland.

In the misty weather, one can see the soil and rocks on the distant mountains are colorful, gold, silver, tin and green, shining like dragon scales. There are red jade and roses hidden among the rocks. The lake is as quiet as a mirror and the scenery is picturesque at first sight. Looking again, there are blue waves and clouds and egrets covering the sky.

The water of the great lake is lively and agile, nourishing all living things on this land.

Fish and shrimps are playing in the water, water plants are swaying with the waves, cattle and sheep are leisurely grazing on the grass by the lake, bushes and trees are interwoven into green barriers, animals are running through them, and birds are soaring in the sky.

As the boat passed by and the two chatted and talked about the recent astrology, they saw elks, rhinos, elephants, turtles, snakes, tigers, leopards, and even pandas playing and playing by the lake. The figure of a dragon occasionally appeared on the lake surface and then dived deep into the water.

It has to be said that Yunmengze, with its suitable climate and rich spiritual energy, is very ecologically diverse and has an astonishingly large variety of spiritual and exotic beasts. It is indeed a good place for dragons to build nests, settle down, and be buried, and it is especially suitable for those dragons with water attributes.

"There is no need to worry too much about these things. After all, for thousands of years, extraterrestrial life has never descended on a large scale. At most, they have sent a small number of weak 'clones'. I'm afraid there are some restrictions here..."

Zhao Qing stopped the boat, jumped onto the shore, and analyzed thoughtfully: "Just like the Emperor You specially refined the 'Golden Scapegoat Talisman' to suppress his own vitality in the past, when the realm of cultivation reaches the eighth level of Qitian or above, and the power is strong to a certain extent, it is easy to cause the vitality of a certain world to be unbalanced."

“When this person moves his hands and feet, it will cause thunder, lightning, rain and snow in the world, and stimulate aurora for thousands of miles. He may even go a step further and encounter the star rays and golden sky wind that destroyed the Lonely Mountain Sword Sect and the Lingxu Sword Sect. I’m afraid it will be difficult for him to survive normally for a long time.”

"Is this the so-called 'Crossing the Tribulation Period'? Being able to restrain one's own power should be something that all practitioners at a high level can do, right?" Xia Mi asked doubtfully, "Unless they want to cause damage on purpose, how could they easily trigger a heavenly tribulation?"

"That's true, but as the saying goes, if you walk by the river, you'll get your shoes wet." Zhao Qing smiled and explained, "You may be able to restrain yourself at ordinary times, but once you go all out, or even fight for your life, it will be hard to control yourself."

"In addition, the essence of the longevity of life in the Changsheng Realm may lie in its infection and assimilation of the laws of the surrounding heaven and earth's vitality. Once the breath is restrained too much, it may go against the 'Tao' and be unable to maintain its own immortality. The rank will fall back to the level of the eighth realm of Qitian, and it will have to pay a lot of price."

"However, these are just my personal guesses. Theoretically speaking, it would be easy for a Nine-Realm Immortal to split into a dozen Eight-Realm incarnations, and it wouldn't affect his overall strength much... It's like a small tube of blood from a Dragon King is enough to breed a second-generation species."

"To estimate from a higher perspective, assuming that a person in the Immortal Realm can increase his cultivation by the equivalent of a standard eighth realm in one year, and he lives for another million years, then that means there are at least a million eighth realms and tens of millions of seventh realms of combat power. With the accumulation brought by a long lifespan, cultivators below the ninth realm, no matter how powerful they are, are just ants."

"As for what this realm is like and what unique properties it has, I already have many ideas, but to verify them, I'd better visit the Dragon Tomb here first, and then go to Tianliang Zushan to take a look..." Zhao Qing said, his eyes revealing deep thoughts:
"The 'elixir of immortality' that destroyed the Tianliang Empire in the past and was difficult for even the eighth-level strongmen to damage in the slightest may be the core part of a certain immortal-level life - it is not ruled out that it was defeated in the battle with other nine-level beings in the sky, and its external shell was destroyed, and it is almost dead and dormant."

"It sounds quite dangerous. Let's look in the dragon tomb first to see if there are any remains of the Eighth Realm Ancient Dragons. Judging from the fact that the Jiaolongs have reached the peak of the Sixth Realm when they are adults, the ancient dragons here can be said to have started at the Seventh Realm on average. They have all reached the combat power standard of the next generation... It's really exciting!"

According to his own estimation, his peak state might be just half a step into the ninth realm. He speculated that the ninth realm of immortality was at least twins two-in-one, or even the level of the White King or Odin. Xia Mi was both eager for and wary of the "remains" of an immortal.

It would be great if I could devour some high-level dragon bones in advance to restore my strength, or even go further.

However, considering that the Chu Dynasty had discovered this dragon tomb a long time ago and collected dragon blood grass in large quantities, it is hard to say how many dragon bones are left inside. Perhaps they have all been turned into materials for refining weapons, but have not been excavated in depth. It is also possible that they were regarded as long-term reserves.

After landing on the island, she followed Zhao Qing's steps and moved quickly in the wet mud, passing through the forest composed of towering ancient trees, twisted vines, low shrubs and lush grass, and stepping on the rotten leaves scattered everywhere and the thick moss growing wildly.

Along the way, we also saw some wild animal and bird nests, as well as several abandoned ancient ruins, scattered with broken bronze statues and broken weapons, and many half-weathered stone carvings, all of which were in the style of the You Dynasty or even earlier times.

If you are willing to stop and carefully comprehend the changes in the remaining runes on the stone carvings, you may be able to comprehend some ancient cultivation scriptures. According to legend, more than 300 years ago, the founder of the Yunmeng Sword Sect discovered similar incomplete sword tactics in the depths of the Yunmeng Lake, which led to the glory of the sect.

Continuing to go deeper, we saw several eagles with wingspans of several meters circling in the sky, occasionally chirping a few times, the sound shaking the sky.

These ruins blend in with the natural environment of the island, almost making people forget that this was once the place where dragons lived and multiplied, until Zhao Qing and Xia Mi crossed the rugged ridge line and came to a valley shrouded in thick fog and with several waterfalls hanging down.

"arrive."

Zhao Qing pointed to several extremely conspicuous huge dragon claw scratches on the steep cliff opposite, and several simple stone chambers that were vaguely visible and had been artificially excavated and repaired in the caves formed by the claw marks that went several feet deep into the cliff.

In addition, there are several pottery jars placed outside the entrance of the stone chamber, filled with pickled vegetables and dried meat, some unknown spiritual melons and fruits are placed on the ground, and old bedding and pantyhose are hung on several poles, which are obviously signs that someone has lived here for a long time.

She smiled slightly and explained, "There should be a master from the Chu Dynasty stationed here. The entrance has been covered and sealed by a formation, and there is another ancient mechanism. It requires extremely powerful force to open it successfully."

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant eagle with brown feathers that had been circling outside suddenly turned around and flew over here, folded its wings, and swooped down with great speed. On the eagle's back, there was a white-haired old woman.
