Too much fruit

Chapter 786 Dreaming
Although the Imperial Academy Chief Academician did not actually stand on the opposing side and even intercepted Tu Bo, he did no longer walk the same path as Jiang Li.

Mo Yiling, the chief academic officer of the Imperial Academy, advocated the ruling system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which had stood the test of eight hundred years. The emperor was at the top, balancing the world and governing the country impartially.

Therefore, when the emperor was disqualified, he would directly respond to Tianxuan's invitation and force the emperor to abdicate.

Moreover, it can be predicted that the chief academic officer of the Imperial Academy and his students and followers will always adhere to this intention and work hard for the emperor to return to the throne.

Because the Dao fruit of the Imperial Academy Jijiu was a typical Confucian school, he was able to reach the third rank in this school, which meant that his mind was a typical Confucian thought. This was very different from the so-called great Confucian scholars in Jiang Li's previous life.

The great scholars here really have the corresponding character.

Even Zhu Huian, who changed from a human to a god halfway through, had the ideal of changing the world. His details might be compromised, but it was difficult for him to change his mind when it came to pursuing his ideal.

To put it nicely, this kind of personality is a sign of integrity, and one will continue to move forward even if there are thousands of people against them. To put it in a more low-EQ way, it is a bit stubborn.

Since the Imperial Academy's chief academic advocates a ruling system that has stood the test of time, he will not change easily and may even stand against Jiang Li in the future.

There is no way, because Jiang is now the most powerful official and is following the script of Cao Sikong.

"Yes, I will go back and report to the teacher."

Xiao Zhi was neither humble nor arrogant, and followed the etiquette, not giving him any chance to make a fuss. He bowed and said, "I'll take my leave."

After saying this, he took a few steps back, turned around and left without any sign of haste or delay.

"The high priest has a good student." Jiang Li said with emotion.

However, for a young man in his twenties to comment on Xiao Zhi, who was several dozen years older than him, was a bit unfair. If you didn't know, you would think Jiang Li was the older one.

But in Zhu Huian's opinion, Jiang Li's behavior was not awkward or weird at all. When he spoke, even Zhu Huian and Xiao Zhi naturally showed appropriate respect, as if it was natural.

"Sikong's realm is becoming more and more unpredictable," Zhu Huian thought to himself.

This battle in Yongzhou was obviously very beneficial to Jiang Li. Zhu Huian thought that this Jiang Sikong was most likely a perfect fourth-grade master. If he could be promoted to the third-grade master, even if he did not carry the Dao Fruit of the Son of Heaven, he would probably be ranked among the top third-grade masters.

"Sikong, how is the battle situation in Yongzhou?" Zhu Huian asked.

"Manjusri is dead, and the Buddhist Kingdom will have to withdraw next," Jiang Li said slowly, "It's a pity that an accident happened in the Divine Capital, making it difficult for me to leave. Otherwise, I could have left more people from the Buddhist Kingdom behind."

Feng Manlou's identity was exposed, and the person most affected was the eldest princess, followed by Jiang Li, who was a close friend of Feng Manlou.

It is still unclear whether the eldest princess can keep the power of regent. If Jiang Li is not in the capital, the wind direction in the court will probably change immediately.

It was for this reason that Jiang Li suspected that the exposure of his good brother's identity might have been the work of the Heavenly Lord. Finally, projecting the scene into the minds of hundreds of thousands of people at the same time was exactly what the Heavenly Lord was good at.

But to say that the Great Venerable was not suspicious would be too absolute. With the Great Venerable's magical powers, there were not many people in the world who could make him suffer in a battle.

Even if they are both extremely powerful, it is difficult for the Great Venerable to suffer a loss in a battle.

"Tu Bo will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to launch an attack, but unfortunately the Yinlusi was too patient this time and has not taken any action yet." Zhu Huian said regretfully.

Although it seemed that the Yin Qi was everywhere before, in fact, it was just thunder and rain. It only spread the Yin Qi, and no one from the Yin Law Department took action. Meng Jundu and the eldest prince attacked the imperial city, but the Yin Law Department was still like a turtle, and did not move for a long time.

I don't know whether to say that King You and Tu Bo, the leaders of the Yinlusi, are very patient, or whether I should suspect that they had a plan in advance.

Jiang Li was more inclined to the latter, because Tu Bo had a close relationship with Tian Jun. If the Great Venerable's identity was exposed by Tian Jun, then he might have informed Tu Bo in advance.

Even if the King of Shu fails, Tu Bo on the other side can continue to restrain Jiang Li, or even launch an attack openly.

In fact, Tu Bo only wanted to control the court. He did not want Emperor Daoguo to reappear in the world. He supported the second prince and wanted him to be a puppet emperor. He did not really want another emperor standing above him.

Compared to Meng Jun, Tu Bo really doesn't need to be anxious.

Thinking in this way, no matter which one of the eldest prince and the second prince succeeds, it will be a win for the Emperor of Heaven. Even if the eldest prince is gone, there is still the second prince to take over.

When Jiang Li thought of this, he began to believe that it was really the work of the Heavenly Emperor.

Could it be that this time the good brother didn't stir up trouble, but was instead stirred up by others?
"Let's take down the rebels first."

Jiang Li pondered for a moment and said, "As for Tu Bo, he failed to win at the beginning, and he can't win now either."

After hearing this, Zhu Huian didn't think any more about it. After all, it was just a matter of fighting back against the enemy with soldiers and covering the water with earth.

He nodded slightly to Jiang Li, then turned around to deal with the remaining troops of Meng Jun.

Now seeing that Jiang Sikong is getting stronger and stronger and getting closer to his ideal, Zhu Huian, the Palu chosen by Jiang Li, is extremely excited and is fully motivated.

As for Jiang Li, he blew out a breath, and the dense Qi formed a strong wind, which swept the imperial city and extinguished the remaining fire and wind and thunder after the war. Then, Jiang Li flashed and moved to the gate of hell with the master-level personal pendant.

At this time, Xiaotian had returned and continued to guard in front of the Ghost Gate. When he saw Jiang Li coming, he opened his dog mouth and spit out streams of light from the space in his body, which were the eldest prince's Taoist fruits.

However, Jiang Li was not interested in this fourth-grade cultivator who couldn't even beat a dog, so he waved his hand and let Xiaotian continue to collect the Dao fruits.

He sat cross-legged in front of the gates of hell, and probed his spiritual thoughts into them, following the invisible connection to communicate with his master and senior sisters in the distance.

The Ghost Gate opened in Yongzhou. Jiang Li's spiritual thoughts traveled through the underworld, using himself as the center to guide the spiritual thoughts of both sides.

He himself seemed to be in deep sleep with his eyes closed, and a dream was born. Tianxuan and Gongsun Qingyue, who had the ability to enter dreams, responded at the same time, and their consciousness entered Jiang Li's dream.

Suddenly, the world changed, from the imperial city that had just experienced a war to Tianxuan Palace. The elegant master and bright senior sister also appeared at the same time. As soon as they met, Tianxuan's eyes fell on Jiang Li's shoulder and asked, "Are you injured?"

Jiang Li's shoulders were a little unnatural. Although it was not noticeable, it was obvious to Tian Xuan, who knew Jiang Li inside and out.

Jiang Li: "······"

"Just a little tired."

Jiang Li relaxed his shoulders and said with a smile: "Wenshu is indeed a very strong enemy. If I hadn't prepared a secret plan beforehand and if Shen Hou hadn't been lurking beside Wenshu, I really wouldn't have been able to defeat him."

Manjusri is very powerful. If there were no flaws in his indestructible true body, Jiang Li would have no chance of defeating him.

This shows the ability of Shen Hou. Even a strong man like Wenshu cannot afford Shen Hou's incense.

However, Jiang Li's shoulders felt unnatural, not because of Manjusri, but because he had a master-level personal pendant on his shoulders.

In order to let Yinglong, transformed by the Rain Master, sleep peacefully, Jiang Li subconsciously made adjustments, so that he still maintained a somewhat unnatural posture even when he entered his dream.

“Is that so…” Tianxuan frowned slightly.

Jiang Li's explanation was completely reasonable, but she always felt something was wrong.

Unfortunately, even after being promoted to the third rank, Tianxuan could not predict Jiang Li. So even though she felt something was wrong, that was all, and she did not have any deeper feeling.

Moreover, the head of the Gongsun family was a typical traitor. He had full trust in Jiang Li, a gigolo, and had no further doubts, so he just asked and then didn't think about it any more.

Jiang Li was shocked at first, but then he calmed down.

Jiang has never been a lustful person in his life, and Yu Shi Yuanjun is also pure and innocent. There is absolutely no impure relationship between the two of them, so why should he be so nervous?

It can only be said that he is worthy of being the bearer of Zhuang Zhou's Dao fruit. His mind is naturally free. A little nervousness or even guilt cannot restrain Jiang Li's heart at all, and he easily puts it aside.

He acted very naturally and asked, "How is the situation in Yongzhou after I left?"

"Guanyin only stayed in the middle for a short while before leaving, which gave us a slight advantage and killed and wounded three thousand people. However, the war had to be stopped when Guanyin returned," said Gongsun Qingyue.

Jiang Li passed through the gates of hell and returned to the capital, and the only ones left were the seriously injured Taoist Guangcheng, Taoist Guangyuan, and Mo Xuankong.

Judging from the combat power, their side actually did not have the advantage, so it was not appropriate to start a war again. Tan Wuwei and Guanyin were thinking about saving their followers as much as possible, and they also did not want to fight again.

After a fierce battle, both sides chose to restrain themselves.

"It seems that these two have decided to return to the Buddha Kingdom."

Jiang Li nodded, then asked, "Where is Hanba?"

This third level released by Jiang Li himself posed a lot of threats to the Buddha Kingdom. If it weren't for the fierce power of Hanba, Guanyin would not have given up so many monks so easily.

Without these monks, the amount of incense worshipped by Manjushri decreased significantly.

If possible, Jiang Li wanted to retrieve the Hanba, both for next use and to prevent another severe drought in Yongzhou.

"The drought demon has gone."

Gongsun Qingyue said with an uncertain look, "She seemed to be pulled by something and went straight to the west. As for those monks, they were all killed by Hanba, and no remains were left."

"Go straight?" Jiang Li frowned.

Going straight means having a destination, but Hanba has completely lost his mind. Rather than being a human, it is more like he has completely turned into a monster, following his instincts without any purpose at all.

The sudden westward movement of Hanba is quite strange.

For Jiang Li, losing a trump card was secondary. The key point was that Hanba suddenly ran to the center of the next storm, which forced him to pay attention.

"Could it be that he was guided by others?" Tianxuan also kept his attention. "But if you want to use the secret method of divine thoughts or the divine power of Dao Fruit to influence Hanba's consciousness, you must be at least of the third rank, and it must be close to the top level."

However, there are only a handful of such people in the world today, and the most famous ones are Karma Tathagata, the Awakened One, and the Heavenly King.

These three are all good at consciousness-related methods, and can slightly influence Hanba. As for controlling Hanba, that is basically impossible.

At that time, the Great Zhou Taizu was almost promoted to the second-rank Yellow Emperor. From today's perspective, he was the strongest person eight hundred years ago. The Great Zhou Taizu tried his best but failed to awaken and control the violent consciousness of Hanba. Even if the others were good at this, it was basically impossible to control Hanba.

All I can say is, it's another mystery.

"The water below the Buddha's land is very deep."

Tianxuan sighed and continued, "The Buddha Kingdom has retreated, and Taoist Guangcheng and Taoist Guangyuan should also return to Yuxu Temple. With these two returning to Kunxu Mountain, the Fairy Queen will find it difficult to continue to hunt me down. However, this woman's heart is as hard and cold as black ice. We have offended her badly this time. From now on, as long as she is sure that I am somewhere, she will attack and kill me."

"The key is that she has the plain cloud flag in her hand, so she can move around freely. It's basically impossible to trap her, and it's even harder to kill her."

In other words, Tianxuan should show up as little as possible in the future, and it would be best if outsiders could never confirm where she is.

In other words, it will be difficult for Tianxuan to take charge of the overall situation in the Divine Capital.
