Chapter 305 Rebuilding the Heavenly Court
After three years of seclusion, the whole country prepared for war, taxes were heavy, and the people were miserable.

- "Book of Jin"

Historians have always cherished words about history like gold.

For contemporary people, there may be heavy mountains weighing on them, but in the writings of historians, there will always be only a few understatements.

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed since the Great War between the North and South Saints.

Three years may be really short for a practitioner.

Especially for those high-level practitioners, it may even be a short retreat, which is almost equivalent to just taking a nap.

but.

For ordinary people, it is not a short period of time, and it can even directly change many people's lives.

In the past three years, the atmosphere in the entire Southern Jin Dynasty has been relatively depressed.

On the one hand, Yu Youquan constantly emphasizes the crisis of propaganda through Le Shengcheng Qingyi, which makes the world somewhat panicked.

but.

There is such a thing as people's panic. After being in panic for a long time, they will become numb.

Compared with the dangers that may come but have not appeared, most people only think about the bad crisis policies.

It not only restricts their freedom, but also makes them live a depressed life.

On the other hand, the entire Southern Jin Dynasty was drawn into a large-scale production movement, and the people's power was developed and used to the greatest extent.

A large number of criminals were exiled to farms for management and reclamation, and newly reclaimed farmland was everywhere.

Especially with the promotion and use of various fertilizers, the yield of food crops per mu has increased significantly, and overall there is a feeling of prosperity.

but.

Behind this prosperous scene, the resentment accumulated in the world is also increasing day by day, and it is even like a large volcano with turbulent undercurrents.

Once it cannot be suppressed, it may explode at any time.

For one thing, although there was a bumper harvest of grain, in order to make enough grain reserves, the government imposed heavy taxes, and the people's lives generally did not improve.

What's more, many corrupt officials use the small power in their hands to create various cunning names.

If the imperial court dares to charge an additional penny in taxes, these corrupt officials will dare to impose an extra penny of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes on the people.

In many cases, it’s even better than Goose City!
If Yu Youquan had not been able to use the power of Shinto to listen to the prayers of the people all over the world, and to intimidate many corrupt officials with Shinto, the people of the world would have been completely in dire straits.

As the saying goes, after being a housekeeper for three years, both cats and dogs will find it objectionable.

Yu Youquan's level of sweeping policies and various high-pressure policies may be acceptable to ordinary people, but all practitioners will have some resistance in their hearts.

of course.

The benefits are not without. In the past three years, because of the power of Shinto, I have responded to the demands of ordinary people from time to time, and "justice from heaven" in the form of thunder has killed many people who have done no evil. "The concepts and ideas are deeply rooted in people's hearts as never before.

For example, among the people, there are more and more places such as "Dragon Marquis Temple", "Dragon King Temple" and "Great Emperor's Palace".

Many of them are voluntary!

Most of these people are grateful for Yu Youquan's kindness. Most of the temples are small temples, but they are more sincere.

In the simple concept of the common people, Yu Youquan, the Dragon King, has upheld more and more justices, and most of them have struck with thunder in the form of "justice from heaven", so that he now has the title of "Grand Master Qingtian" .

But there are also some temples promoted by the imperial court.

The core of the purpose is to forcibly bind many of the court's actions to Yu Youquan, thereby reducing the pressure from the spiritual world.

Facts have proved that the effect of this policy is still very significant in nature.

Success has transferred a lot of pressure from the spiritual world to Yu Youquan.

For many practitioners, just the name Yu Juli alone prevents them from going too far.

Even many of the bureaucrats who thoroughly implemented this measure came from academies in various places. Even in this world, there are many academies who worship Yu Youquan, but this does not prevent them from using Yu Youquan as a shield.

I have to say that scholars have a lot of troubles!
Even though Yu Youquan was unhappy, he could only endure it for the time being.

because.

He indeed needs these people to help him with things, to implement his will, to support them and to eliminate the pressure from the practice world.

The temples built by these scholars are much more impressive in comparison, but many scholars are also extremely "pragmatic" and the simplicity of the temples is also very good.

There are also some palaces that some forces actively contributed money and effort to build in order to curry favor with him.

On the contrary, the palaces built for this kind of flattery are the most majestic.

But no matter what, these incense wishes made his Gou Chen Emperor Talisman more mysterious, and the power to control the many stars in the sky became stronger and stronger.

Secondly, even rich farmers and merchants are taxed very heavily.

Although they are much better off than ordinary farmers, they are afraid of comparing themselves to the past.

This vertical comparison and the gap inevitably make these wealthy households extremely uncomfortable and feel extremely depressed.

Especially in order to save food, the strict prohibition on alcohol was implemented, which made many powerful people from aristocratic families who had lived a good life since childhood feel extremely aggrieved.

Human beings are like this. I don’t have to drink alcohol, and I even hate drinking. But if you strictly prohibit me from drinking, then the fun of drinking will come.

The joy of drinking is in prohibition!
Essentially speaking, being able to do what you want to do is one kind of freedom, and being able to do nothing not to do what you don’t want to do is also two sides of freedom.

Being deprived of freedom naturally caused huge resentment and dissatisfaction!

Another huge impact of this incident is that various gangs under the water quickly become bigger and stronger.

There are countless people selling and transferring alcohol privately.

The most important thing is that three years have passed and there have been no particularly serious disturbances in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

On the contrary, the major Buddhist temples in Buddhism are even more prosperous than expected.

In particular, the power of the Holy Buddha is growing, and the Buddha's light in Landuo Temple is so dazzling that many monks in the Southern Jin Dynasty can even see it.

at the same time.

The endless power of stars falling down every night in the world of the Northern Wei Dynasty is adding to the foundation of the world of the Northern Wei Dynasty every moment.

The vitality of heaven and earth in the Northern Wei Dynasty even transformed into "vital energy liquid" because of this.

In this regard, the Northern Wei Dynasty even specifically renamed it "spiritual energy" to show that it was more advanced and mysterious than the Xuanmen side of the Southern Jin Dynasty.

The difficulty for ordinary people to open the Heavenly Gate has been greatly reduced, and the number of practitioners has grown like an explosion.

For practitioners, this is more like a feast.

Breaking through the realm, which was once a dream, is now as simple and easy for many practitioners as eating and drinking.

Especially in terms of lifespan, it is even more "magnificent" and beyond the imagination of the world.

Under the framework of today's law, a saint's lifespan is no more than a thousand years old.

However, under the laws of the ancient world, lifespan, a global problem that once made all modern monks complain that the world is not working, can be easily solved.

At the level of a saint, it seems to be truly transcendent.

Sitting in your own little world is like jumping out of the Three Realms and not being in the Five Elements.

Even in the fifth realm, it seems that one can truly live as long as heaven and earth.

The monks in other realms have gained something. It is true that when the water rises, everything in the water rises with the rising tide.

Public opinion wars are always two-way.

In the past three years, Yu Youquan has been conveying information and ideas about starry sky pollution and danger to the Northern Wei Dynasty through various methods.

In essence, it was for salvation, but there were still dissatisfaction with his methods and policies in the Southern Jin Dynasty, let alone the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was very hostile?

What's more, the Northern Wei Dynasty was inevitably affected by the war of public opinion.

Even many Buddhist temples followed the example of the Southern Jin Dynasty and spent a lot of resources to actively build secret realms and closed caves.

All kinds of cultivation resources, materials and treasures have all increased in price, especially daily necessities such as food and salt, which have been snapped up by major aristocratic families and temples.

Many people in the Northern Wei Dynasty even died of hunger!

In the Southern Jin Dynasty, Yu Youquan could still manage to be a cover-up, but in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the monk was really ruthless.

Starvation everywhere!It greatly weakened the power of the Northern Wei Dynasty and even caused great turmoil in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

It was even as destructive to the Northern Wei Dynasty as a real big war!
Not only did the Northern Wei Dynasty not expect it, but even the Southern Jin Dynasty did not expect it at all.

but.

There are always smart people in the world!
After realizing the importance of the public opinion propaganda front, the Northern Wei Dynasty began to promote the benefits of the ancient world of the Northern Wei Dynasty through various methods.

For many immortals, the attraction of longevity is unimaginable.

For them, going to the Northern Wei Dynasty meant an endless and long life, while staying in the Southern Jin Dynasty, which sealed off the world, meant sitting in the trapped city and waiting to die.

This is also one of the important reasons why the opinions and resentments against Yu Youquan and the Nine Kings in the Southern Jin Dynasty are growing.

In their view, it was Yu Youquan and the conservative Nine Kings who were blocking their way.

Yu Youquan, who has the most and broadest control, has borne the brunt and has become the target of the most criticism. Various conspiracy theories have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

for example.

Yu Youquan wanted to become a saint and a god himself, deliberately exaggerating the crisis and depriving the world of freedom.

He appears to be loyal, but is actually a traitor.

Especially the temples blooming all over the place seem to confirm the accuracy of this rumor.

Three people became tigers. When the news spread widely, many malicious criticisms of Yu Youquan naturally became the "truth" that many people were more willing to believe.

And Yu Youquan, who is divine and enlightened, naturally cannot fail to hear this.

This made Yu Youquan admire the wisdom of his ancestors even more!

The icing on the cake is not as good as giving charcoal in the snow.

Those who anticipate enemy planes to eliminate the disaster first will never be evaluated in the hearts of the world as those who put out the fire afterwards and help clean up the mess.

There is also a weight to it, no doubt.

It can be said to be the weight of the world, but it can also be said to be the weight of the human heart!
The longer the control lasted, the more difficult and heavy Yu Youquan felt the burden he was shouldering.

but.

It was not that there was no gain at all. This made him naturally think of the small world created by the saint and the confrontation and integration between the big world.

This made Yu Youquan feel deeply!
These pressures and rebounds may be the price of creating a new world, and they are also an inevitable process that must be experienced when embarking on the holy path.

Once it detonates, it may be the disaster of sanctification!

"Have you seen it? The power of the ancient world?"

In a top-secret dark room in the Southern Jin Dynasty, several practitioners were secretly watching an image of a fighting method recorded on a jade slip.

The jade slips were apparently passed from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Southern Jin Dynasty through special channels.

It can also be regarded as a response to the "public opinion war", "false propaganda" and "fanning the flames" in the Southern Jin Dynasty.

A young man who secretly watched the video of the fighting said excitedly, "This is the current monk in the Northern Wei Dynasty? It's so amazing to pick up the stars and the moon, move the mountains and fill the sea, and live as long as the sky!"

"It's so shocking. Compared with the ancient method, the current method is simply out of reach!"

One person echoed, his words full of enthusiasm.

"Of course, I know from the ancient books in my family that compared to the ancient methods, modern methods have been severely castrated in nature. No matter whether they are exercises or magic weapons, they are no exception. Now that the shackles are removed, the ancient methods The beauty of heaven and earth is completely revealed!"

"Hey, the little dragon is confused. If the Southern Jin Dynasty continues to be so closed-minded, it will inevitably lag far behind the Northern Wei Dynasty. By then, the so-called boundary-suppressing formation may be broken with just one poke!"

"Hey, what kind of young dragon? I can only see that Cheng Jujun is the second best, a treacherous but loyal person, a wolfish ambition, and for the sake of personal cultivation, he completely ignores the interests of the Taoist monks in the world!"

Cheng Jujun was the founder of the Jin Dynasty.

Before he wrested the kingdom from the hands of the orphan and the widowed mother, he was also a first-class gentleman in the world and had always had prestige.

These young monks compared Yu Youquan to "Cheng Jujun". It is conceivable how bad the three years of control made his impression in the minds of the world.

"Isn't that true? I heard that he is taking the path of invincibility according to the modern method. He is invincible in the same realm, and can even challenge higher levels. But if placed in the world of ancient methods, the so-called invincible path of the modern method is just like a clown."

"."

As the "public opinion war" between the north and the south continued, similar scenes continued to occur throughout the Southern Jin Dynasty.

Simultaneously.

Yu Youquan felt that the burden of the world was getting heavier and heavier, making him feel more and more heavy, depressed and lonely!

Yu Youquan was alone, silently enduring and tasting this misunderstanding and loneliness, looking at the starry sky of the Northern Wei Dynasty, his eyes becoming more and more profound.

Compared to the lifeless world of the Southern Jin Dynasty, the night sky of the Northern Wei Dynasty was really too bright.

The two form the most striking contrast.

"The most effective way to fight pollution is luck, order and authority?!"

In the past three years, he has endured a lot and shouldered a lot, but he has never given up on finding a solution that would solve the problem once and for all, or even from the source.

However, the research conclusion made Yu Youquan a little unbelievable for a while.

After a long experiment, he found that if he wanted to weaken and eliminate the pollution in the starry sky in time, the best way was to baptize with luck and merit, fight with order, and kill with authority.

There is no need to mention the baptism of luck and merit. As long as you have enough luck, pollution will melt away like snow when it meets the sun before it touches your soul.

I have to admit that in this world, luck is really omnipotent.

Perhaps this is due to the influence of radiation from the laws of the vast world such as prehistoric times!
The merits of luck are almost a panacea. As long as there is enough luck, almost any difficulty can be solved.

Fighting with order is not complicated in nature.

Just like there are evildoers in the world, as long as these cancers are removed in time, the disease will naturally be alleviated or even cured.

The pollution originating from the starry sky is essentially the same. You can rely on order to fight against chaos.

As for spending time with power, this was discovered through Gou Chen Emperor Fu.

After rearranging the stars, Yu Youquan was very surprised to find that the power of Emperor Gouchen could very effectively eliminate the pollution caused by the star power.

The effect is even incredible!

This made Yu Youquan subconsciously think of an old incident - when the Holy Kings and Queens of the Three Saint Sect were burying the ancient world, they took away the innocent gods in a wave.

Seal them all, and even turn their authority into the world of today's law, and even become part of the secret method of practice of today's law.

This made Yu Youquan immediately realize that if he wanted to weaken and eliminate starry sky pollution from the source, it would be best to use the power of the gods to reset a new "heaven and earth membrane" for the world.

The breaking of the protective barriers of modern laws set up by the Holy Kings and Queens is not only a matter of the return of the ancient laws of heaven and earth, but also the gradual return of the sealed gods.

If he wanted to re-clarify the order between heaven and earth, eliminate the pollution from the stars, re-establish order, and regain the power of the fallen angels, it was very necessary.

This made Yu Youquan speechless!
because.

The solution he subconsciously thought of was to reestablish heaven, rebuild the underworld, and reset the cycle of reincarnation.

but.

This order is the ancient order, an order that Tiandao Sect specifically overthrew.

If he wants to embark on such a path again, does it mean that the world structure has returned to the ancient heaven era?

Yu Youquan even felt terrified when he thought about it!

because.

The first step of the Holy Queen's plan is to enlighten one of the many dragon veins that make up the Heavenly Court, transforming it into a real life form, thereby destroying the overall pattern of the Heavenly Court.

Subsequently, the Heavenly Court was destroyed, the Tiandao Sect was destroyed, the Three Holy Sects were destroyed, and the Nine Mysterious Sects were relayed, generation after generation, all within the framework of today's heaven and earth.

but.

Now only half of the framework of Jinfa's heaven and earth has been beaten, and in order to eliminate the pollution from the starry sky, he subconsciously thought of rebuilding the heaven and re-ordering it. Is this really his decision?
Could it be that it was predestined somewhere?

If he really reaches this point, have all the efforts of the Holy Queens, Holy Kings and other sages since the days of Heaven completely failed?

While Yu Youquan was thinking deeply, under three years of high-pressure policies, rebellion inevitably broke out in the Southern Jin Dynasty.

The first thing that broke out was the younger generation of practitioners in Jianye. They gathered together in large numbers and even went to the palace gate to kowtow to petition. The purpose was to ask the court to release the blockade and high-pressure control of the country.

In the name of the future of the people of the world and the Southern Jin Dynasty!
The commotion quickly snowballed.
