Chapter 27: Signs of National Destruction

Strange phenomena frequently occur in Wangxiang Tower.

In another palace, Ai Xiru and Li Jianxing are drinking tea, with a pile of books on the table.

Under the guidance of Li Jianxing, Ai Xiru is also compiling the classics of Baidi Religion.

"Baidi Shaohao is the supreme god, and the white color is respected. The angels in the West and the East are all winged people under his seat. Under the winged people are winged people, that is, people who have cultivated to become immortals. Feathered people usually shoulder the responsibility of saving the world, Abel, Isaiah, and Joshua in the West... Zhou Gong, Zhang Liang, and Zhang Tianshi in the East..."

There are also some mythological fusions.

For example, in the ancient flood, Westerners relied on gods to save them, so they had original sin.

Orientals worked hard under the leadership of Dayu, so they did not have original sin.

As for the rest of the scriptures, they teach people how to live in harmony and love each other. These are copied from both sides. Anyway, they are some words to persuade people to be good, which have been basically said by sages from ancient times to the present.

"Okay, it's almost done. I'll give it to the Heavenly Master for review." Ai Xiru closed the book. There were four big characters on the cover: Baidi Bible.

At this time, a disciple outside the door exclaimed.

The two went out and saw that it turned out that there was a strange phenomenon in Wangxiang Tower.

The disciples whispered that the master of Wangxiang Tower had supernatural powers, and it seemed to be true.

"Miracle, another miracle." Ai Xiru held the silver cross and muttered to himself.

A closer look at this cross showed that it was different from the traditional cross. It was a swallow with its wings spread.

Shaohao's symbol is the black bird, which is a swallow; a swallow with its wings spread out is a bit like a cross.

"It seems that the Heavenly Master has made a breakthrough. Let's go up and take a look."

The two climbed up to Wangxiang Tower.

Sun Bing had already arrived on the top of Wangxiang Tower.

The two sat opposite each other and drank tea. Xu Xuan looked calm, as if the strange phenomenon just now was not caused by himself.

"Come, you sit too."

Xu Xuan was not interested in the tea ceremony. He drank tea just to have a little taste in the water. He couldn't tell whether it was precious or not.

At the same time, he sensed the information in the mirror. The secondary mirror had been lying in the other world for twenty years.

Name: Xu Xuan

Lifespan: 33/104

Realm: Middle stage of nourishing qi

Skills: Jinguan Yusuo Qingjing Jue (minor success 78%)

Spells: Northern Qingshui Mantra (minor success 21%) Southern Zhenhuo Mantra (minor success 72%) Jinsha Peiyuan Longevity Pill (major success 15%) Corpse Fixing Talisman (perfect) Corpse Driving Talisman (perfect) Avoiding Soldiers Talisman (perfect) Levitation Technique (perfect)...

Water and Fire Mantras are currently more advanced spells, so the training speed is relatively slow, and the same is true for Jinsha Peiyuan Pill.

The realm has become the middle stage of nourishing qi. Before, the true qi could be calculated by strands, but now it is equivalent to the size of a little finger, and it should be able to release about thirty spells.

The power in the dantian is not magnificent, but it doesn't need to be so frugal.

Phoenix Stone can indeed prolong life, and the upper limit of life has increased by five years.

This breakthrough in realm is inseparable from the contribution of Phoenix Stone and a huge amount of alchemy materials.

Fifteen spirit stones were paid for this.

"After the middle stage, there is the late stage. Only in the late stage can you break through the Qi training stage. In the Qi training stage, you can open the Ren and Du meridians, and the true qi will grow along the meridians."

This process may take a long time.

Xu Xuan came back to his senses and listened to Sun Bing's speech.

"I have asked people to expand the Shenzhuang where the twenty guardians live, and the materials have been sent over."

The guardian refers to zombies.

Li Jianxing did not reject zombies as he imagined, but agreed with them. Taoism itself has a legend of refining guardians.

There are schools such as Yellow Turban Warriors, Ghost Soldiers, and Torture Ghosts and Summoning Gods.

As long as they do not deliberately and cruelly kill innocent people as guardians, but use the bodies of evil people or ordinary people after death, there is basically no problem.

Being a Taoist guardian is their blessing and can accumulate Yin virtue.

Sun Bing also talked about Xu Yong's situation. With the support of the elders, Xu Yong not only developed in remote areas, but also spread his influence to the core of Huguang.

Xu Yong's arrival was a nightmare for the wealthy families. If they did not hand over their land and grain, their families would be confiscated and exterminated that night.

As a gentry leader, Sun Bing did not support this behavior.

So he said indirectly: "Why don't you go north to help the country? The emperor is wise and wise. After the Ming Dynasty is revived, our religion will surely flourish. The master will not lack materials for cultivation."

"You will know later."

Xu Xuan smiled but said nothing.

There was still a year and a half before the Ming Dynasty fell.

Are barbarians, civil servants, and refugees really the root cause of the fall?

The essence is still land annexation, so King Chuang's troops are getting bigger and bigger.

The wealthy families outside occupy thousands of acres of fertile land. A family occupies so many resources and hires servants to protect themselves. If they have money, they will save it, even if it rots.

Not using any of it for social development is an obstacle to social development. People are hungry and naturally will not think about how to innovate and develop.

Therefore, this kind of people are born with original sin, and their lives in the world are useless except for endangering the country.

Even if they are given another 80,000 years, the world will still be in this mess.

Let alone the local tyrants and evil gentry, even if they are well-known good people in the surrounding area, killing them will not harm their virtue. As long as they control a large amount of land, they must be born with blood, which is the original sin.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

At this time, Ai Xiru took out a copy of the White Emperor Bible and said, "Please correct me, Master."

Xu Xuan opened the scripture, and the ink smell was faint. It was just finished not long ago.

After flipping through a dozen articles, he closed the book.

"It's okay, but it may not be popular in the West."

The subject is too oriental.

And if you take it over like this, you will most likely be burned at the stake.

"I need to go back to Italy. I will preach in person, so that the White Emperor religion can be spread."

Ai Xiru is the son of a great noble in Venice, and the people of the Holy See will not easily attack him.

"It's still too difficult to change the views of Westerners." Li Jianxing is not optimistic.

"As for how to preach, is there a more suitable way to preach than to show miracles?" Ai Xiru smiled and took out the talisman for avoiding soldiers and the talisman for armor and horse from his bosom.

Drawing this kind of talisman consumes more true energy than other talismans.

Other talismans need true energy to trigger, but this one does not. This is a passive spell, and the triggering mechanism has long been buried in the talisman, so ordinary people can use it.

"This is okay." Xu Xuan agreed.

Invulnerable to swords and guns, and unable to hit by muskets, and as fast as the wind, it is basically no different from a miracle.

This is not the mirror world. If you want to fight, no one will fight you. As long as you have superpowers, even if it is just to rub fireballs; people with greater ambitions can set off a rebellion that sweeps the world. Of course, whether it succeeds or not is another matter.

Xu Xuan thought about it and took out ten pieces of the talisman for avoiding soldiers and the talisman for armor and horse; twenty pieces of the detoxification talisman and the hemostasis talisman.

"If you take these, the Pope and the Archbishop will be difficult to deal with. If you violate their interests, the Book of Changes will come down and hang him on the cross."

Ten pieces of the talisman are enough. A perfect talisman can block ten arrows, and the talisman is better than before in that it has no time limit. As long as ten arrows are not blocked, the talisman will always exist.

If a noble has the chance to be hit by a hundred arrows or a hundred guns, he will not be able to survive.

"Also, you must bring some artillery and shipbuilding craftsmen with you this time."

"Yes!"

After Ai Xiru finished his report, Li Jianxing said, "Master, the materials may be a little scarce this time."

"What's the matter?"

"Most of the food and medicinal materials in the city are controlled by the people of King Ji, and the people who went down to purchase them were beaten by the people of King Ji's mansion." Li Jianxing said.

Ai Xiru said angrily: "Yes, this group of people has made our Baidi Sect have no food relief, and more and more people are joining the sect."

"Hoarding goods, bullying men and women..."

"Most of Changsha's taxes fall into the hands of Prince Ji. Not to mention the people, even the officials are suffering..."

The two listed the crimes of the prince.

Sun Bing saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "I will persuade Prince Ji to change his evil ways."

"No need..."

Xu Xuan stopped Sun Bing, and he remembered that there was such a big fat pig.

Something that may not be available in the Taoist temple may be available there.
