My hero is myself

After that, they were sent to the official road and escorted by a large number of sergeants to Shenjing.

Erxi left the mountain where she grew up and was confined to a small stone statue, feeling uncomfortable all over:

"With such a heavy stone statue, if we really offend the emperor, it will be difficult for us to escape."

"It doesn't matter, you are already Ming Xiangrui, the stone statue is a foreign object, you can also lodge in the blood jade Qiming Sword, it will be easier to escape." Roland said nonchalantly.

"Hey?"

Er Xi blinked and discovered Hua Dian.

She asked curiously: "Sir, why can't I stay in the Blood Jade Qiming Sword now? Do I have to carry that heavy stone statue?"

"I'm lazy!" Roland replied confidently!

My magic power outside Lanruo Temple is limited, and the Blood Jade Qiming Sword is magical. I have to put in effort to set up an array to move you in.

It is inevitable that your young master will have to bleed blood and become a spiritual medium.

That's all, watching Wang Yongning busy performing there, he felt depressed after the failure, crying and making trouble.

But he couldn't save his face, so he held on to his dignity as a national teacher. He didn't want to be looked down upon by his seniors, so he just kept studying there...

How interesting the young people are with their high morale!

Er Xi looked at Roland's playful smile and wondered why she still didn't understand. He just held a grudge:

Wang Yongning said that since he was eighteen years old, he deliberately wanted to see Wang Yongning have a great time, and he also watched and exerted psychological pressure...

"You have pity on me, why do I meet such an increasingly disrespectful man?"

Er Xi looked pitiful and Ruolan burst into laughter.

He finally promised her that he would carry her with the Blood Jade Qiming Sword when she returned home, and take her to visit famous mountains and rivers that she had never been to before.

[You and Wang Yongning set off for the capital. 】

[Although you are low-key, your appearance and temperament are outstanding. Wang Yongning is taking good care of you. The officials along the way are extremely respectful and do their best to entertain you. 】

[Listening to their fawning, you feel the power of the fox and the tiger, and you also see the luxury of the upper class. 】

[You asked Er Xi to investigate the unjust cases and corruption in Luzhou Prefecture. 】

[When encountering a person who has committed a heinous crime, he will leave the inn at night, use dark power to break his heart, and create a scene of sudden death in his sleep. 】

[Wang Yongning had doubts, but he didn’t dare to ask more questions, so he just dismissed it as a coincidence. 】

[Also because the style is so different, no one associates it with Demon Soul Yuqi. 】

【You entered Shenjing. 】

The Lynx Empress is a wild god that has not been recorded in scriptures. Although she is quite magical, she cannot directly enter the palace.

The city gate was opened and the statue was moved to the "Zhenren Mansion" where Tao Zhongwen lived.

This is a residence specially built for him by Emperor Jiajing's decree.

To Roland's expectation, the mansion of this most respected Taoist priest in the world was unexpectedly simple.

Tao Zhongwen himself is of medium build and appears to be old.

Wearing a dusty Taoist robe, he was completely lacking in the subtlety and concealment of his disciples, and was deliberately showing off.

Rather, he seems to be a truly quiet and inactive Taoist priest.

But considering that this is a prosperous capital city and the center of power in Kyushu, there is still something wrong with the appearance of such a Taoist here.

On the way, Wang Yongning had communicated with his master many times using secret techniques. Tao Zhongwen naturally knew that Master Cheng, the master behind the Lynx Empress, was the real owner of this mountain god's manifestation.

He led several Ping disciples and took the initiative to give Roland a heads-up:

"Mr. Cheng and your empress have come a long way. Please take a rest in the mansion. Your Majesty is taking a bath and fasting. You will receive the two nobles in seven days."

"It's really not easy for a real person to become famous in Mo Dharma. It would be interesting to chat with you first."

Roland looked at Tao Zhongwen and agreed readily.

[You and Er Xi are temporarily staying at the Zhenzhen Mansion. Tao Zhongwen is alone at night with some wine, intending to have a deep talk. 】

[Er Xi used magic to "borrow" delicacies from the big houses in the city, and you, Tao Zhongwen, drank and discussed the Tao. 】

[Both Huang, Lao, Buddhists and Taoists can talk freely, and Tao can answer questions fluently, which will make you feel very happy. 】

[You asked about Tao Zhongwen's state of mind and cultivation, why he did not live in seclusion and cultivate, but he was willing to be a coward and a sycophant. 】

"In the past, Duan Chaoyong, Gong Kepei, Lan Daoxing, Wang Jin, Hu Dashun, and Lan Tianyu's subordinates tried to seduce the emperor with talismans, but they were all defeated soon after."

"Only a poor Taoist saint has a prosperous day. The key is not to care about the government and only to assist His Majesty in cultivating Taoism."

"This poor man is seventy and one year old. However, he has no virtue and incompetence and cannot help the Ming Dynasty return to its former glory."

"I can do my best to reduce the number of things that cause harm to the people. I should be a stable national advisor and don't let traitors take over. I have tried my best."

Tao Zhongwen was already a little drunk, and he sighed, "How can there be any chance of immortality and transcendence in this world? Great changes are coming, what's the use of the Qing Dynasty? A little false name is just for other people's use!"

Roland couldn't help but scolded the old man, showing a bit of helplessness and admiration.

This Tao Zhenren can be said to be a true practitioner who is open-minded, transparent and somewhat wise.

He is extremely talented, but how can he catch up with the age of the end of the Dharma?

He could have been free from the world, but he also had the emperor's desire to live forever. He easily believed what the traitor said, so he simply became the most capable traitor with a bottom line.

Although he is a very popular minister, he is cautious every day and is careful not to violate the emperor's taboos and not to be involved in cause and effect.

With him here, Jiajing's Taoist practice is a Taoist practice, and the emperor's art is an emperor's art. It's still clear.

Although there is no real way to live forever, at least he is still clear-headed.

When Tao Zhongwen was ill, he had to offer back thousands of taels of jade, gold treasures, dharma crowns and platinum that Jiajing had received over the years.

He never cherishes these things.

I just don’t want to mess up the world, and if another true demon comes to mislead the country, practice evil and practice strange methods, then there will really be a river of blood.

Roland raised his glass and said to Tao Tao:

"In my life, I have fought against hundreds of Taoist geniuses, but only my Taoist friends can be called real people!"

When Tao Zhongwen drank until his glass was dry, he did not reject anyone who came, nor was he polite to him.

He knew that Roland was also a true cultivator, and his abilities far exceeded the limits of this world.

As for "fighting against the genius of the Taoist sect", he also wants to get one person, the fierce man who once made the Ming Dynasty uneasy...

But does that matter?

That's not important, drinking and discussing the truth is important.

There was some free and easy wisdom in the old Taoist priest's cloudy eyes.

Continue to drink and chat with Roland, but not only in this world.

They talked about the mysterious decay and the mysterious and mysterious...

Destiny!

Er Xi stood by, silent most of the time.

But occasionally I add a sentence or two, but they all focus on the key points.

This made Tao Zhongwen a little envious.

Although the Lynx Queen is a demon, she can be called a riddle-telling flower when she is not telling riddles. Which man wouldn’t want to raise one?

When Tao Zhongwen heard Luo Lan's story about Lanruo Temple, he felt a little envious and praised:

"Although the Western Heaven was destroyed, the Buddha shattered into nothingness and left!"

"It's a pity that I was born too late! It's too late! I didn't get to see the prosperous age of cultivation, and I didn't have the opportunity to accumulate transcendent power!"

Roland heard his lament and showed sympathy.

After this exchange, Roland believed that Tao Zhongwen's qualifications were no less than those of Chen Tuan, and they were both geniuses who could establish sects.

It's a pity that the era he lived in was even more difficult than Chen Tuan's.

Chen Tuan just couldn't ascend to immortality, but he was struggling to even reach the threshold of true cultivation.

Kong has a superhuman understanding of the Taoist scriptures, but it takes only a few seconds to enter the realm of Bigu.

The description does not look like a real monk who has achieved good health, he is just an ordinary long-lived old man...

Tao Zhongwen yelled to vent his anger. Seeing Luo Lan's concern, he couldn't help stroking his beard and laughing:

"Young master, you don't have to be like this. Pindao was just emotionally excited for a moment and had already looked away."

"Being able to see the wonders of spiritual practice, and having all sorts of wonderful uses in mind; being able to pursue the wisdom of the ancestors, and seeing through the many delusions of the world, is already much happier than those who are wallowing in desires."

"What's more, the poor Taoist has a smooth life, no disasters, no troubles, and countless enjoyments."

"Your Majesty favors me, has many children and grandchildren, and has intelligent apprentices. I am definitely not a person who is unlucky."

"It's just that this era is like this. Even if there is a disaster, I can't change it."

"Seeing the Buddha's great wisdom and perseverance fighting against the sky, I longed for him."

Tao Zhongwen went on to explain in detail that Roland only knew that he had accidentally used divination to see that after the mystery completely subsided, there would be a century-long era of darkness and chaos in Kyushu.

"At that time, warlords were fighting, aliens were invading, and the people were displaced. The huge Chinese state was suppressed by the Yi and Di. I don't know where the day of restoration will be... We monks are beyond our reach, so what can we do?"

Tao Zhongwen encountered a scene of great disaster, but did not know the specific time.

But when Roland heard his description, he felt it sounded familiar...

Is what you, an old man, are saying is not a series of humiliations that started with the Opium War?

It was indeed a dark and bloody century, the darkest moment of Kyushu civilization.

Roland's mind moved slightly and he suddenly asked:

"Master, do you know how the Japanese pirates practice?"

Tao Zhongwen muttered:

"Most of them practice martial arts, but there are also practitioners who exorcise ghosts and become servants. They believe in gods to strengthen their bodies and double their combat power in a short period of time. Unfortunately, this is definitely not the right path."

"If there is no way to practice, then evil heretics like them will become rampant, right?"

Roland sneered, suddenly knowing that there would be monsters to kill in the next few days:

He probably can't control the distant sun that never sets, but Japanese pirates can come to Kyushu to cause trouble...

He can naturally go to Penglai to brush monsters, right?

Next, Er Xi and Tao Zhongwen discussed their experience in divination, and he became speechless.

But just sitting in can be very rewarding.

For seven consecutive days, they discussed Taoism at night in Zhenzhen's Mansion, and finally waited for an imperial edict:

"Your Majesty announces that the Lady Lynx will enter the palace, and that Tao Zhenren and Mr. Cheng will accompany her."

Volume 52: Entering Kyushu for the first time: Chapter [-] The night has arrived

Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong did not live in the Forbidden City at this time, but lived in Xiyuan all year round.

This garden is also called Taiye Pool.

Located to the west of the Imperial Palace, it was built in the Liao Dynasty and covers an area of ​​more than 100 million square meters.

The water area accounts for half of it, covering the Central China Sea and the South China Sea.

Therefore, there is a three-character collective name that Roland is familiar with... everyone knows it!

Although they were not in the same time and space, Roland's mood was quite subtle when he walked into a classical building that was exactly the same as in the news.

Next to him, Er Xi whispered to him why Jiajing didn't live in the palace:

It turns out that in the 21st year of Jiajing's reign, hundreds of palace maids fell ill because they were ordered to collect nectar and mix it with ginseng juice in the early morning.

Coupled with his habitual moodiness, suspicion and suspicion, the palace maids could not bear it anymore and initiated the "Renyin Palace Rebellion" that was rare in history:

The palace maids headed by Yang Jinying took advantage of Jiajing's sleep and attempted to strangle him to death with Huang Ling.

Unfortunately it didn't work.
