The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 356: The King of Yue does what he wants, and the King of Yue does what he wants

For a while, the crowd was coming and going, with new warriors constantly arriving and warriors constantly rushing to the government office after reading the contents of the list.

Outside the crowd, there were several elegantly dressed scholars with red faces, who were also talking about the matter.

"It's insulting, it's really insulting!"

"Your Highness wants to recruit talented people, why don't you consider us?!"

"Most of these gangsters are unruly and unruly, and they are neither good at literature nor martial arts. How can they be on the stage?"

All of them are scholars from the surrounding area.

Among the scholar class, the highest rank is Jinshi. After passing the examination, one can at least become a county magistrate, a parent official of hundreds of thousands of people!
The next level of Juren can be appointed to important positions in local county government. Even if there are no vacancies in the local government and the person stays idle at home, he can still get a large piece of fertile land and thus join the class of wealthy gentry.

Although the scholars who came after him seemed to be neither high nor low in rank, they still had various privileges, such as opening private schools, tax exemptions, and so on.

The word "poor" in this poor scholar means that he seems poor in comparison with the local noble families, but in the countryside, he is still a landlord with land.

Several scholars looked at the crowd of martial artists in front of the list with their emotions boiling, and felt jealous, but they deliberately lowered their voices when they spoke.

But he didn't dare let those martial artists hear it, otherwise it would easily lead to a conflict. They still understood the principle that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

"In my opinion, His Royal Highness the King of Yue must have been deceived by that villain!"

"Haha, not only is he a villain, but he's also very close to the bed and the ground."

"Humph! He is just a minor official.

As they spoke, several people were evasive in their words and did not mention anyone by name. After saying two or three sentences, they stopped talking.

They are still clear-headed, and it would be taboo to continue talking.

She didn't dare to slander Yu Jiaolong, but she made up stories about Fang Xun, and she almost said the words "the harem interferes in politics"!
Not only them, almost everyone in Dongting Prefecture was secretly criticizing Fang Xun, and some even went so far as to curse him out loud.

After talking for a while, they felt a little bored. Looking at the group of martial artists in front of the list, they felt even more sad.

"How disgraceful!"

Fang Xun was of course aware that he had a bad reputation among the families in his fiefdom, but he just laughed it off.

The other party only dared to talk. Now everything has just begun, so it is not advisable to act rashly. It will not be too late to deal with these guys later.

Fang Xun did not stay in the academy for long. The lecture lasted only a quarter of an hour before he left.

The primary school was already on the right track, so he didn't have to worry too much and just had to wait quietly for the first batch of students to graduate.

After leaving the academy, Fang Xun kept walking and soon arrived at the underground palace where the White Lotus Mother was placed nearby.

As soon as he arrived, Fang Xun was stunned. Although there was no lighting in the underground palace at this moment, it was bright as day.

The white lotus bud emitted a clear and bright light, which was soft and not dazzling, and provided sufficient illumination for the dim underground palace.

'The previous estimate was wrong. The progress of the White Lotus Mother's Nirvana is so fast?'

As if sensing his arrival, the clear light surrounding the white lotus bud suddenly brightened.

At the same time, Fang Xun also sensed a fluctuation of consciousness.

'This is... Nirvana will come in three days at most!'

Fang Xun's face turned serious, and he quickly walked to the flower bud, stretched out his hands and pressed it to examine it.

And that consciousness was like a newborn baby, ignorant and full of instinct, but it did not resist his touch.

Fang Xun stared at the flower bud for a long time, then sighed and made another move.

A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and his mind probed into the flower bud, accompanied by a large amount of information input.

This information is the memory of Aqing and Xiaomeng!
Fang Xun only obtained Ah Qing's memory of martial arts insights, but he obtained all of Xiao Meng's memories.

He once had in-depth dual cultivation with Xiao Meng, and their spirits and minds were in harmony.

When Xiaomeng got his memories, he also got Xiaomeng's memories.

At this moment, all of the "Selfless Brahma Sound" was transmitted to that ignorant consciousness at once.

However, this consciousness did not resist, or the other party did not know what resistance was.

Suddenly, the flower bud lit up again, and the closed petals began to slowly open, as if they were about to bloom and bear fruit.

After a moment, Fang Xun completed the transmission of all memory information and simply sat cross-legged in front of the white lotus, waiting nervously.

Fang Xun stared at the white lotus blooming little by little, not daring to look away for a moment.

Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, a day and a night had passed.

With a bang, a tranquil yet vast aura rose up.

It actually directly covered an area of ​​100 miles in radius. All the warriors in the Divine Realm within the range looked frightened, their bodies trembled, and their eyes were filled with surprise and doubt.

It seemed as if it sensed that a terrifying existence was approaching nearby.

But the next moment, the energy disappeared without a trace, leaving all the divine warriors stunned again, as if what just happened was an illusion.

In the underground palace, Fang Xun's eyes were calm, with a hint of a smile on his lips.

As the white lotus before his eyes fully blossomed, a celestial girl with the spirit of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon was finally revealed.

After successfully achieving nirvana, the girl's energy calmed down, and she did not have a trace of internal strength left in her body. Only a vigorous and round energy and blood remained, as if she had never practiced martial arts.

And that beautiful face has changed a little compared to before.

The girl sat cross-legged on the lotus pedestal, her body naked, with her waist-length hair as white as snow scattered on the pedestal.

In addition to the outline of the White Lotus Mother, she also has the shadows of Ah Qing and Xiao Meng.

At this time, the white lotus began to wither and became transparent like a bubble.

Amid Fang Xun's heartfelt smile of joy, the girl slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were full of purity, just like a newborn baby. As she slowly stood up, she didn't care about Fang Xun's gaze on her body, and only a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.

"Am I Bai Lian? Am I Ah Qing? Or am I Xiao Meng?"

After Nirvana, the girl only felt that the memories of three different people were mixed in her mind.

But when watching these memories, the girl felt like an outsider and could not empathize with the emotions in the memories.

Fang Xun said calmly: "Zhuangzi dreamed of a butterfly in the morning, the butterfly dreamed of Zhuangzi, and Zhuangzi dreamed of a butterfly.

Is it important to you whether Bai Lian turned into Xiao Meng or Ah Qing in your dream, or Ah Qing or Xiao Meng turned into Bai Lian in their dreams? "

"Zhuang Zhou Mengdie."

After hearing this, the girl seemed to understand something, as if the doubts in her heart had been resolved, and she showed a happy smile from the bottom of her heart.

"Yes, it doesn't matter who I am. Everything in the world is changing, and life is also unpredictable. Nothing is eternal, only change."

Fang Xun smiled faintly and said, "So, who are you?"

The girl thought for a moment, and a trace of confusion flashed across her eyes again, but she immediately calmed down again.

"I don't know who I am either. Why don't you just call me Bai Qingmeng?"

"Bai Qingmeng, Bai Lian, Ah Qing, Xiao Meng."

Fang Xun chewed on the name, and after a moment of distraction, he responded with a look of emotion.

"Okay, from now on you are Bai Qingmeng. Come with me first. It's best to restrain your aura and not attract attention. You are no longer the Zhenwu Land God who ranked third on the Heavenly Ranking in my memory!"

After hearing what Fang Xun said, the celestial girl, or Bai Qingmeng, began to compare the memories of the three people in her mind and tried to restrain her energy.

At first, she was like a toddler, very uncomfortable with the routine.

His Qi was unstable for a while, but he soon became proficient in it, and it gradually became restrained.

Although her face was still delicate, she no longer had the same graceful aura as that of a weak girl with no martial arts skills.

After successfully restraining his own celestial aura, Bai Qingmeng slowly walked down the lotus platform and went straight towards the exit of the underground palace, and the white lotus turned into bubble and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Fang Xun was shocked when he saw it, and quickly said, "Wait!"

Bai Qingmeng turned around in confusion: "What's wrong? Aren't we going to leave here?"

There was only confusion in the girl's eyes, wondering what she had done wrong.

Fang Xun looked at the naked girl in silence, and it took him a long while before he uttered four words.

"Get dressed first."

Fortunately, the basement of the Prince of Yue's Mansion was well stocked with daily necessities. Fang Xun randomly picked out a set of green ladies' clothing and handed it to the girl.

So just like that, the girl began to learn how to put on her clothes clumsily under Fang Xun's guidance and comparing it with her memory.

This made Fang Xun feel emotional.

"Bai Lian didn't lie to me. After Nirvana, I was like a blank sheet of paper. I had to start all over again to learn everything."

After a while, the two of them left the underground palace.

On the next day, a young girl who seemed to have no common sense appeared in a primary school on the outskirts of the city and attended classes with the children of the fiefdom.

At the same time, a bloody storm had begun to blow in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Jiangnan Guards of the Yue Palace were mobilized in large numbers, and with the cooperation of the Six Gates in various places, they killed every family listed in the Sanyue Hall roster.

Starting from Jianye City, then Wuzhou, it gradually spread to the entire Jiangnan region, shocking countless people for a time.

Correspondingly, the Qinglong Society, newly established by five people from Jiangzhou Dongfang Que, also began to operate in secret.

Starting from Chunyang Prefecture, they recruited people in large numbers and spread to the surrounding areas in a pyramid scheme.

It has to be said that the "Book of Black Heaven" is indeed extremely tempting to those warriors who have achieved a breakthrough but are limited by their own skills and cannot make any progress.

But after actually practicing, and realizing that one's life and death was in the hands of others, one felt like crying but had no tears.

Fortunately, the rules of the Qinglong Society are not harsh. They only need to hand over 30% of their income every month. Those members who are pulled in can only accept this.

When expanding, Dongfang was short of five people and was very cautious. They did not go crazy recruiting people, no matter who they were.

All members were brought in after being observed and found to be suitable. In each county, they would only recruit a maximum of thirty people. When they had thirty people, they would move on to the next county to continue recruiting people.

Fang Xun had instructed before that it was best to keep a low profile, otherwise a series of troubles would arise after the existence of the Qinglong Society and the "Black Book" was exposed.

But even so, in less than half a year, the Qinglong Society's sphere of influence expanded from Jiangzhou to Linzhou.

Dongfang Que and the other four sat at home, happily counting the money. Every month, apart from keeping some for themselves to use for their cultivation and the development of the Four Forms Hall, most of the rest was handed over to Fang Xun.

The Prince of Yue's palace made a huge profit. During the confiscation of property, they obtained countless treasures, lands, and properties, which filled the treasury.

However, Fang Xun, the instigator of everything, became a recluse.

On weekdays, the King of Yue does things when there is work to do, and the King of Yue does nothing when there is nothing to do.

With the abundant supply of resources from the palace, he practiced diligently and refined his divine essence in the hope of achieving the balance of the three elements as soon as possible.

In his spare time, he also taught Bai Qingmeng various common sense of life.

I don’t know how comfortable my life is.

And he had things to do, and nothing to do.

Before we knew it, spring went and autumn came, and in the blink of an eye, the New Year had passed amidst the heavy snow falling from the sky.

Three hundred and sixty-four years of Daxuan had passed, and it was the first month of the three hundred and sixty-fifth year.

There are only three months left before the royal secret place in the capital of Shuntian Prefecture is opened.
