I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 286 Idealism, Golden Clouds

Xu Zhiyuan didn’t know what was wrong with him?
He had never been so stubborn before, but when he heard about the sacrifice of young boys and girls and the marriage of the dragon son, he could not help it. This was not his business, but the education that the county magistrate and the prefect should carry out.

Perhaps it is because of the righteous spirit, or perhaps at some point in life, there is such a spirit that wants to be expressed.

It is not only worthy of oneself, but also worthy of "ambition", and it can even be said to be "shouting for all living beings".

At this moment, he was above the oil pan, looking a little embarrassed, but still cursing.

Shunji was called the Little Dragon King, and Madam Anji was both humiliated.

The two of them have always been great demons in the immortal realm. They can be said to be able to dominate this world. There are no more than two hands number of people in the world who are at the same level as them. As long as they don't ascend to heaven, they are the ones who dominate the desire realm.

On weekdays, the little dragons call their father and ancestors, the little demons call their king and queen... The people on the shore all kowtow three times and nine times to pray for good weather!

"How can I not be a dragon? I am a real dragon!" He roared, "Do you think there has been a real dragon from the beginning? There is only one real dragon, and I raised it like a Gu. When the earth is filled with murderous intent and dragons and snakes emerge from the land, I will become a real dragon. You are a bookworm full of nonsense, do you think that real dragons are really kind and benevolent? You are totally wrong."

"A true dragon can eat whomever he wants and kill whomever he wants. Only the one who holds supreme power is a true dragon. Although I am now dormant in Poyang, I may be waiting for the moment to transform into a flying dragon."

"You can't." Xu Zhiyuan sneered, "I saw your tail, it's bald."

Shunji the little dragon king hated it most when people said that his tail was bald, and he got very angry for a while.

"Put him in a frying pan and fry him! I think he is still being stubborn!"

Mrs. Anji quickly stopped her: “Wait!”

She is wise. She has been practicing for thousands of years. She gained spiritual intelligence since the pre-Qin period, and her wisdom and attainment have continued to grow until now.

The most sensible thing she does is to maximize her own interests. She is also well versed in humanitarian culture. As a "black fish", also known as mullet, she is praised by Confucianism as a "filial fish".

There is a scripture that says: I have four things I don’t eat… I don’t eat mullet, because after giving birth, the mullet becomes dizzy and can’t see, so the mother fish starves to death. At this time, the young fish will actively swim into the mother’s mouth to feed her, because it is “filial”, so I don’t eat it…

In short, it can be regarded as a "Confucian mythical beast". The other three are the old ox, the wild goose, and the loyal dog.

Represents loyalty, filial piety, chastity and kindness.

Of course, these Confucianists are just talking, they still have to eat.

Mrs. Anji had also read poetry and books and understood Confucianism. She said, "This scholar should be a hero, a good man, a straight minister, a loyal minister, and a good minister."

"This kind of person is a headache for the emperor. Killing him would only help him. If Your Majesty fries him, it would only cause more damage to the way of dragon transformation."

"If you can't be patient, your big plans will be ruined. You need to conquer the heart first."

So she stepped forward and asked, "Scholar, what are you studying for?"

Xu Zhiyuan said: "Naturally, it is to serve the country, cultivate oneself, regulate the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world, to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry on the lost knowledge of the past sages, and to bring peace to the world for all eternity."

He was blushing to begin with, and now as he said these few words "copied" from Xu Jia, although he was also blushing, he couldn't tell what kind of blush he was feeling.

On the contrary, Haoran's righteousness became even more agitated, and he took the initiative to surrender to Confucianism. Although it was of no use, it was also an achievement.

"Bullshit!" Madam Anji said, "I don't know that you scholars say these high-sounding words, but in your mind, you are thinking about money, white money, and silver. Why do you study? It is to seek fame and honor. With fame, you can become an official, with high positions and generous salaries, endless money to spend, endless money to pinch... and endless happiness."

"So many scholars said they were fine when they were studying, but after becoming officials and experiencing the taste of life, they all became like this."

"You haven't become an official yet, so these empty and false things you read in books, these moral principles, which one can you touch or see?"

"You can see white pearls, touch real gold and silver, live in a house that is not much smaller than the imperial palace, own 200,000 or 300,000 hectares of fertile land, and your servants are more majestic than county officials when they go out... Millions of people rely on you, and the emperor dare not offend you. You have students all over the world, and the tributes sent to your door every year are countless..."

After saying this, she clapped her hands, and immediately several ships loaded with gold, silver and treasures were brought in. The glittering sight was enough to blind one’s eyes.

There were also several clam girls and snail girls, dressed very coolly, with thin, misty clothes on, revealing their graceful figures. There were also many ancient paintings and ancient books, all of which were unique and extremely valuable.

There are both vulgar and elegant elements here.

"As long as you speak up, all of these will be yours. You have talent, but you are too upright. Those officials will not tolerate you. Only by blending in with the world can you thrive. Otherwise, you will die sooner or later."

"With our funding, even if the current Daning court is a rotten ship about to sink, we can help you jump onto a new ship. You will be at the helm and can sail the ship wherever you want. Your political ambitions, demands, and ideas can all be realized in the new dynasty."

"This is a great profit without any investment. As long as you agree to it, you can become the spokesperson of our Poyang Dragon Palace. Then we will make sure that the weather is good and the rain is abundant in the area where you say it will be. If you don't let a drop of water fall in a certain area, we will make sure that there won't be any wind with water in it..."

Madam Anji's words are magical, or rather, this is a common problem among Confucian followers, the real situation.

When Xu Zhiyuan came into contact with scholars, such as Mr. Lu, they tended to be like this, trying their best to squeeze in and get a share of the pie.

But the political world is endless, and people only see eating, not fighting. Only a few people have power over the government and the opposition. Most people are the ones who give gifts, are held accountable, and are blamed...

If you do well, it's because of your superiors' good leadership; if you do not do well, it's because of your incompetence.

Xu Zhiyuan also found it difficult to resist the land of gentleness and the sea of ​​money.

But he suddenly thought of what he had said at the beginning: "If I can't be a great sage, I can be a small sage."

A real man has things he should do and things he should not do.

So he sneered and said, "The more you beg me, the more I give you, the more guilty and afraid you appear."

"If I accept ten thousand gold coins without considering the propriety and righteousness, what good will ten thousand gold coins do to me? For the beauty of palaces and houses, and the service of wives and concubines, what can I give to the poor people I know?"

"If I get hurt, my integrity will be broken, my spine will be broken, and I will become your dog. It sounds better than singing, but there is a saying that money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat. I don't have much money, just enough to spend. I can't eat more than three dishes and one soup, I can't sleep on a three-foot-long couch, I can't walk in more than a pair of cloth shoes, and my wife will cut my clothes for all seasons. I love her so much, how can I linger on these vulgar women?"

As he was speaking, Mrs. Anji's face turned grim.

Suddenly, the silver carp dragon cried out in alarm, "Oh no, oh no! A black cloud has risen in the sky, and above the cloud there is a dark mass of soldiers and horses, arrayed in all directions, laying out nets in the sky and on the ground. An old turtle spirit has also entered the water and handed over a document, intending to attack us!"

After Bai Yinjiao said this, Shunji Dragon King and Madam Anji's faces changed. People like them were not proficient in the art of divination and numerology, or rather, the art of divination and numerology did not care about them.

"Come here, take this scholar away and keep him under guard! The rest of you, the generals of the dragon, the marshal of the pig, the lieutenant of the turtle, the chief of the crab, the strong eel, the shrimp soldiers and the fish soldiers, form your own formations and follow us out of the palace."

They both put on their armor and took up their magic weapons.

The weapon of the little dragon king Shunji is a stick refined from an iron pillar. This iron pillar is the one that suppressed the Locking Dragon Well. He also has his own dragon ball and a magic weapon, the Thirty-Three Days Creation Dragon Tower, which is refined from the corpses and bones of his own elders. It is constructed from thirty-three dragon magic instruments and can suppress the dragon clan's luck. It has its own space inside, and each layer can capture a water fairy, educate the corresponding water creature, breed and cultivate it, and make it a Taoist soldier.

Among them, there are many powerful creatures corresponding to rivers, lakes, and seas. So far, he has only subdued a few types of aquatic creatures and has not refined them all.

Madam Anji's weapon is a fishbone flying sword, and she also has a black cable that can transform into a magic dragon, capture and entangle people, suck their blood and essence, and enslave their souls. She also has a pocket that can release millions of blackfish poisonous insects, which are all made from the souls of her descendants. Once released, they will be like a swarm of locusts, gnawing at all flesh and blood.

A moment later, the war drums beat, the water surface trembled, and countless fish and shrimps were startled and jumped out of the water. Then there was a huge whirlpool, which rotated and rose into the air.

Then a staircase appeared, and Shunji Dragon King rode a water-avoiding golden-eyed beast and went up to the air with the flow of the water.

Madam An Ji was riding a six-eyed flying fish and was right beside them. In addition, the shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and all the aquatic Taoist soldiers floated to the surface. They were underwater below the waist, with only half of their bodies exposed. They were all covered with scales and armor, and held spears and short swords in their hands. These were all mortal weapons, not magical weapons.

On the clouds, Zhang Fajing smiled and said to Xu Jia: "Master Xu, this evil creature has come out."

Immediately he parted the clouds and spread the golden light of the spell all around him. Then the golden clouds spread out and shot into the water, reflecting countless golden scales.

Madam Anji's face changed when she saw it. "It's the Golden Light Mantra of Mount Longhu. This level of Golden Light Mantra can only be cultivated by successive generations of Heavenly Masters, accumulated and passed down, to achieve this golden glow. Otherwise, ordinary people will only be possessed by golden light like a piece of rosy clouds in their lifetime."

Shunji Dragon King also felt a little apprehensive: "Didn't we agree with Longhu Mountain that when the little Heavenly Master came to Poyang to surrender, he lost the bet and asked for a title from us. What's going on now? Don't they recognize him?"
