Two Realms: Starting from playing the role of Raibe Masami

Chapter 111 Iron Fist

In fact, the Taoist and Buddhist sects were able to maintain the reputation of the masters outside the country only because of the "charity" of His Majesty the Emperor.

After all, although the imperial court ordered each sect to send its most popular disciples down the mountain and took away the power of each sect to consecrate gods on its own, it did not attack the roots of the Taoist and Buddhist sects.

Firstly, there are no restrictions on the Taoist and Buddhist sects' admission of disciples, and secondly, they do not impose heavy taxes. They still allow the Taoist and Buddhist sects to occupy large areas of fertile land and possess a large amount of industry to support the sect's survival needs.

Bigu is a good basic skill for practitioners, but it does not mean that practitioners do not need to eat.

On the contrary, what people eat during spiritual practice is extremely expensive.

Ordinary rice and noodles cannot fill the stomachs of middle-to-high-level practitioners, and they need treasures from heaven and earth.

Just eating this piece of food would cost the Taoist and Buddhist sects a ridiculous amount of money.

Not to mention, practitioners also need to practice exercises, practice spells, and refine magic weapons.

All kinds of expenses are added together, and the heads of various Taoist and Buddhist sects will be worried.

Therefore, when the "immortal Buddha" tax is introduced, even if the tax rate is not outrageous, it really hurts the Taoist and Buddhist sects from the root.

The sect, which had a good relationship with the imperial court and had not participated in the previous incident of deposing the crown prince and arrogating the title of god, had something to say.

These sects immediately sent people to Beijing to ask for a face-to-face meeting, hoping to persuade the Emperor not to cut across the board and hurt good people by mistake.

His Majesty the Emperor is as open-minded as a grain of salt and listens to advice like a stream.

After these sects produced irrefutable evidence to prove that they were not involved in the deposed prince's arrogance of deity, they immediately exempted these sects, including Shangqing Sect and Lingbao Sect, from the "immortal Buddha" tax.

The specific tax exemption is even more powerful than the "immortal Buddha" tax itself.

Because the Taoist and Buddhist sects, which had a faint tendency to form a loose offensive and defensive alliance, were divided internally!

His Majesty the Emperor's combination of punches was so successful that the Taoist and Buddhist sects complained incessantly.

The imperial team in Qingzhou also heard a lot of rumors about this.

As a large state, Qingzhou also has many sects and Buddhist sects.

However, the imperial envoy team did not pay attention to this in the past three days.

After slaying the dragon, Wei Gong only rested for half a day and one night before dragging his exhausted body to deal with official duties.

Although dragon slaying was actually a clever move used by His Majesty the Emperor to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, the chicken he killed was too special. It was a member of the Four Seas Dragon Clan that carried some of the destiny of heaven.

Duke Wei must not allow the full effect of slaying the dragon to be fully realized.

Therefore, at the signal of Duke Wei, the governor of Qingzhou put up his banner and patrolled Qingzhou with great arrogance, especially those Taoist and Buddhist sects that had been hit hard by the imperial court.

Killing people also requires killing one's heart, that's it.

The prefects below Qingzhou Prefecture launched a "severe crackdown" operation almost simultaneously to eliminate "troublemakers" who disrupted order within the territory.

Most of these so-called "good guys" are practitioners who have some cultivation skills, but their character is not strong enough. They have sharp blades and murderous intentions.

Wei Gong himself used the trick of "tickling the nose and hitting the face". After advertising to the world, he put up a banner and visited the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.

Does the Dragon King of the East China Sea dare to refuse?

dare not!

He had to smile and receive him, and even begged Duke Wei not to tell anyone about the fact that he had stunned four dragons, including the Dragon King of the West Sea.

In that case, the Dragon King of the East China Sea will no longer be able to be the talk dragon of the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas.

Thirteen people in the team, including Wei Gong, were "corrupted" in the East China Sea Dragon Palace.

The dragon son played music, the dragon girl danced to add to the fun, we ate fresh seafood, drank fine wine, and listened to the laughter of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. It was a very refreshing experience.

However, Duke Wei always stayed awake and performed a performance in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea. After achieving his goal, he led the team and left without staying long.

Returning to Qingzhou City, Wei Gong felt a little tired, so he ordered to rest for a day and return the next day.

I stayed one more day and watched the excitement one more time.

The Dragon Clan of the South, West and North Seas, especially the West Sea Dragon Clan whose Dragon King died, went to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea and caused a scene.

Judging from the news coming out, the Dragon Clan of the West Sea, without any evidence, just relied on intuition and linked the beheading of the Dragon King of the West Sea to the Dragon King of the East Sea.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea felt so miserable that he couldn't express it.

Aggrieved.

After a day's rest, the team set off and returned to the divine capital Tianjing.

This time, there is no need for the arrangement of the light and dark teams, nor the speed of the troops.

The team spent six days slowly returning to the divine capital of Tianjing.

Huang Tian was very lucky that Duke Wei did not look for him again during this period.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to hide it at all!

During these nine days, the game world progressed very smoothly.

Danyin County, Taoshan County, and Fuli County have completely become the divine domain of Taiyi Thunder Yinghua Tianzun.

After completing this wave of expansion, Li Lingsu did not expand rapidly to the outside world.

Instead, she pulled out the monks from the Tianzun Temple on the Danjiang River, and personally took one hundred and forty-four monks with varying degrees of cultivation progress to begin a tour of the three counties.

Tianzun is compassionate and loves the human race.

As a special believer under Tianzun, we must not forget our roots and must implement this.

Yan Chixiao was well-informed and had participated in a similar mission, but he had never seen, heard, or personally experienced such a mission.

The thunderous sound of Taiyi transformed Tianzun and his subordinates, from the gods to the believers, all seemed extremely special.

After feeling sad for a while, Yan Chixiao became more devoted.

The only thing that made Huang Tian dissatisfied was that the evil demons and evil gods that he destroyed were not able to harvest any trophies that could further improve the Zodiac Sword.

On the contrary, Hagoromo has been strengthened.

In addition, Li Lingsu used his magical power to "master the five thunders" and after killing the evil god, he obtained a piece of pure fire essence.

For these trophies, the young angel's method of dealing with them is to offer them to the Heavenly Lord first.

This time is no exception.

Tianzun took away the pure essence of the fire attribute, which did not surprise the young goddess. Instead, she secretly became interested in it. She wanted to get more such trophies in the future to please Tianzun.

Huang Tian heard the "whispers" of the young angel and felt very worried for those evil gods who were doing evil.

It should be noted that the cultivation qualifications of the young goddess are too high. The progress of "Ten Thousand Phases Golden Body" has surpassed the eighth level and has been upgraded to the ninth level!

If Huang Tian hadn't been assisted by the pure willpower provided by his followers, he would have already reached more than half of the first level, and he would have been surpassed by the young angel soon.

If something like that happened, Huang Tian would feel very embarrassed.

The good news is that with practice, it’s not all bad news.

The already loosened martial arts bottleneck jumped over smoothly.

Huang Tian is now a solid martial artist at the second level of martial arts.

A martial artist in the stage of listening to the breath/sensing the breath is also a martial artist.

My waist is much stiffer.

Therefore, after the team was disbanded, Huang Tian returned home, patiently had dinner with his mother, and patiently chatted for a while about the business trip. When he found that the time was right, he hurriedly took his wife Jingyu back to the room to rest.            Euphemistically called fatigue of the carriage and horse, I want to regain my energy as soon as possible.

Huang's mother looked at this scene with a smile and was happy to see it happen.

Jing Yu was helpless. After entering the west bedroom, she rolled her eyes at Huang Tian and said shyly, "Oh, husband, you are so impatient that you made my mother laugh!"

"My mother won't laugh. She hopes you will get pregnant tomorrow."

Relying on his understanding of Huang Mu, Huang Tian didn't follow Jing Yu's tricks. He should be anxious or impatient.

As the saying goes, a little separation is better than a new marriage.

He has achieved another breakthrough in his martial arts cultivation, and his back has become much stronger.

With the cooperation of his traditional wife Jing Yu, Huang Tian was very proud and proud of himself.

Unfortunately, the happy time is always short-lived, and Huang Tian finally met the end of being suppressed by his wife Jing Yu.

Knowing the taste of food is not just the right of Huang Tian as a man.

It had been half a month since Huang Tian left Tianjing, the divine capital, and Jing Yu had been on tenterhooks, worrying about this and that.

Now that my man has finally come back, why don't we give him a good squeeze?

Relaxing her swan neck, Jing Yu let out a sigh of satisfaction, and stopped fighting back before her husband's body sent out a warning signal.

There is ample time.

Don't be greedy for temporary pleasure and destroy your husband's body.

"Husband, you have achieved another breakthrough? Congratulations, husband! Congratulations, husband!"

As someone who knew each other well, Jing Yu immediately noticed Huang Tian's physical changes.

She held it in her husband's arms until now, and only then asked when she gently drew circles on her husband's chest with her left hand. This was Jing Yu's reward for Huang Tian's good performance tonight.

"It's a breakthrough, what a pity!"

Huang Tian replied, but didn't say what he was regretting.

Of course Jing Yu understood Huang Tian's unfinished meaning and gave Huang Tian another blank look.

Not to mention that a man is still a teenager until he dies, and he always has all kinds of strange desires to win and lose.

"sleep!"

Feeling that his position as a younger brother in the family had dropped further, Huang Tian was a little annoyed, so he pulled up the quilt and closed his eyes to sleep.

Jing Yu smiled beautifully without revealing it, and hugged Huang Tian and fell asleep equally beautifully.

However, there is peace and beauty here, but there are many places where there is no peace.

After Mo Qingsheng gave a very detailed mission report to Commander Luo, he was finally free after nightfall.

With extremely complicated emotions, she came to the three-story underground prison of Zhutiaoweitianlao.

"Junior sister, long time no see."

Arriving straight outside Zhu Qingluan's cell, Mo Qingsheng didn't shy away from calling him names calmly.

Zhu Qingluan sat in the shadow of the cell, sneered when he heard this, and said very rudely: "If you have something to say, don't waste my time."

Mo Qingsheng was silent for a moment, and then talked about the imperial court's countermeasures against the Taoist and Buddhist sects, the "immortal Buddha" tax.

and the subsequent turmoil caused by the "immortal Buddha" tax.

Zhu Qingluan was shocked when he heard about the "immortal Buddha" tax.

After hearing that some sects, including Shangqing Sect and Lingbao Sect, had received "amnesty" from His Majesty the Emperor and were exempted from paying the "immortal Buddha" tax, his face became even more pale.

The imperial court's counterattack was too cruel!

Is this going to cut off the roots of Wuliang Mountain?

Even if Wuliangshan has accumulated savings over the years, how many years can it last?

If things continue like this, the decline of Wuliang Mountain is inevitable!

Zhu Qingluan closed his eyes in pain, not wanting to "see" Wuliang Mountain's repeated decline.

However, she couldn't get rid of the images that popped into her mind.

"Junior sister, it is useless to go against the imperial court. Only by closely following His Majesty's footsteps can Wuliang Mountain be preserved and develop better."

Mo Qingsheng's eyes also contained pain, but his determination was stronger.

Hearing this, Zhu Qingluan did not open his eyes, but asked a question in a tired voice: "What if His Majesty the Emperor lets Wuliang Mountain go up first to resist the returning ancient demon? Wuliang Mountain must also closely follow His Majesty the Emperor. Pace?”

Hearing this question, Mo Qingsheng shook his head.

This is the crux.

There are too many Taoist and Buddhist sects, and even aristocratic families, who are worried that His Majesty the Emperor will use them as consumables.

After all, the king is selfless and ruthless.

In the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, there is no friendship, only the weighing of interests.

It was good for him and good for the Dayong Dynasty. No matter how displeased His Majesty the Emperor was, he could suppress his displeasure and make a neutral and respectable decision.

The state displayed by His Majesty the Emperor actually frightened those Taoist and Buddhist sects and aristocratic families.

They judge others by themselves, believing that His Majesty the Emperor will one day "become like me", "have great achievements", be "arrogant and extravagant", and "act as he pleases", but they dare not leave their fate to His Majesty the Emperor.

From the perspective of human nature and history, it actually makes sense for Taoist and Buddhist sects and aristocratic families to consider this.

Mo Qingsheng completed the transformation of his philosophy and went through a long journey from being skeptical to becoming a supporter of His Majesty the Emperor.

Facing Zhu Qingluan's question, Mo Qingsheng did not answer, but just dragged his tired body out of the prison.

He didn't even want to stay with the words "take care of yourself".

There is a huge difference in philosophy between the two.

No need to persuade again.

Outside the prison, Mo Qingsheng bumped into his nephew Shi Wusheng as expected.

"Please give some advice to Senior Sister Qi and stop being stubborn."

After warning Shi Wusheng, Mo Qingsheng returned to his duty room in Fusi, Beizhen. He looked at the location of Wuliang Mountain specially circled on the map hanging on the wall, and recalled Commander Luo's previous instructions.

The "immortal Buddha" tax's set of combined punches is only part of the imperial court's counterattack against Taoism and Buddhism, not the whole thing.

Just as the remnants of the White Lotus Sect have been completely wiped out, and the investigation into the case of the deposed prince has come to an end, the Anti-Treacherous Guards are freed up. In the next month, they will join forces with the Demon Slayer Division, under the guidance of Qin Tianjian, to conduct a battle A massive operation to cut down mountains and destroy temples.

In the past, the imperial court would not completely eradicate the "obscene sacrifices" conducted privately by some Taoist and Buddhist sects, as long as they did not harm the people.

This time, His Majesty the Emperor is angry and must be dealt with to the end.

Commander Luo bluntly said that in one month, there will be no more obscene sacrifices in the Yong Dynasty!

Compared with the "immortal Buddha" tax, which cuts the flesh from the root with a soft knife, cuts down mountains and temples, and uproots obscene worshipers, the effect is more direct, and it can also make those Taoist and Buddhist sects feel more personal pain.

A few hard punches like this would not only hit them properly, but would at least make them dizzy.

Playing with His Majesty the Emperor?

They don't deserve it!
