I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years
Chapter 157 Rumors 4
When the news reached the capital, Tang Zheng acted decisively and ordered officials from all states to be on high alert. Even if they could not stop the rumors, they had to do their utmost to block the news.
Under the strong suppression of the government, the results were remarkable.
But these rumors are like wildfire that cannot be extinguished and will spring up again with the spring breeze.
In just less than ten days, the rumors were spreading again.
This time, the rumors that had been suppressed for a long time rebounded and spread at an alarming speed.
At first, it was only circulated among a very small number of people, but its inherent influence should not be underestimated. It was like a stone thrown into a seemingly calm lake, and the ripples spread quickly, and it spread throughout Xiaozhou in just half a month.
A month later, the news spread like wildfire, instantly spreading to the three states of Wan, Ying and He.
It’s been another month, and the news has spread like a virus across several states.
Three months later, people in nearly twenty states had learned about this.
No matter whether they are high-ranking officials in the provincial capital or peddlers in the countryside, countless people have seen immortals in their dreams.
Although the government used force to suppress the rebellion, it was powerless.
By the end of the year, this rumor had spread at a terrifying speed across half of the Yuan Dynasty's territory, to as many as seventy or eighty states.
According to the Ministry of Household Statistics, the population of a large state is at least several million.
By this calculation, at least hundreds of millions of people in the entire Yuan Dynasty knew about this.
Places such as brothels, teahouses, taverns, and prostitutes became excellent locations for spreading the news.
Even casinos were affected by the scandal, and some temples and Taoist temples were not spared.
Some shopkeepers were afraid that if they continued like this they would be in trouble with the government, so they had to hang up signs saying "Do not talk or spread rumors" to prove their innocence.
People secretly exchanged their guesses and ideas with each other, and even the tension could be smelled in the air.
The more the government tries to suppress something, the more curious the people become.
Now this news has spread more and more widely through word of mouth and is out of control.
...
...
Jingzhou.
South of the provincial capital.
A house with five courtyards is located here.
Looking up, the two large gold-plated characters "Qin Mansion" were shining brightly in the sun.
The house has red walls, black tiles, flying eaves and pointed corners. The courtyard has a rigorous layout, a symmetrical central axis, a large scale and covers an area of several acres, which demonstrates the noble status of the owner of the house.
The corridors inside the mansion are winding, with a new scene at every step. Pavilions and attics are scattered around and connected by corridors.
The garden is even more unique, with flowing water under small bridges, winding paths, various exotic flowers and plants, and rockery and strange rocks dotted around.
This extremely luxurious house belongs to Mr. Qin, a wealthy man in the city.
However, at this moment, Master Qin no longer had the majesty he used to have in front of others, but was kneeling on the ground crying bitterly.
The person sitting in front of him was a young man about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
"I have been thinking about you day and night, and I thought the sect had forgotten me. Now that I have met you elders, I will die without regrets!"
Xue Lingxu raised his hand and said calmly, "Those who have made great contributions to the sect will naturally not be forgotten. You can stand up first."
Master Qin wiped his nose and tears and stood up with difficulty.
After reporting to Xue Ling the results of his business over the years, Master Qin was sent away.
"Why go to so much trouble? In my opinion, we should just go to the capital of the Great Yuan Dynasty and capture the emperor alive, and then capture the Taoist master as well."
An elder of Lingxu Palace, who had a fiery temper, sneered.
In his opinion, many of Xue Ling's actions were really thankless.
You can just crush them with force, why do you have to do these nonsense?
With three warriors at the Hunyuan realm here, what kind of trouble can a mere Dao Zun cause?
"That's a bad word."
Another elder said, "We are still unclear about the details of the Great Yuan Daoist Master. If we act rashly, it may backfire."
"Now this plan has caused half of the people in the Great Yuan Dynasty to begin to doubt the Dao Zun. Then we only need to add a little more fuel to the flames, and we can take down the Great Yuan Dynasty without bloodshed. Isn't that wonderful?"
The impatient elder felt overwhelmed when he heard this.
In his opinion, no matter who you are, he will fight you first.
He felt that this scheme was too complicated and very annoying.
"Whatever, whatever you want to do, the Great Yuan Dao Zun will die anyway."
After saying this, his figure shook and disappeared.
Xue Ling's painstaking planning was not only for the sake of safety, but more for the sake of experimentation.
Although his ability to enter dreams was not as good as Sang Qingshan's, it was already at the highest level.
And it was he who was the one who obstructed the immortal's dream that swept across dozens of states in the Yuan Dynasty.
Although it took a lot of time and energy, the final result really made Xue Ling very satisfied.
My ability to enter dreams has made a qualitative leap compared to before my seclusion. With continued hard work in the future, I believe I will be able to dominate the world and remain invincible with this skill.
"When will we set out for the Yuan capital?" asked the elder.
Xue Ling smiled confidently and replied, "No hurry, we will leave when the situation in the Yuan Dynasty becomes more serious."
He planned to wait until the matter of the immortal's dream was brewing and erupting, and then see how the Taoist master would handle it.
Then he attacked secretly and killed him with one move, leaving no one alive.
Although Xue Ling knew that he could completely crush Dao Zun with the strength of the three elders, he still hoped to win with his own strategies and brains.
In this way, after returning to the sect, those elders who have been waiting and watching will be able to see their potential.
Thinking of this, Xue Ling suddenly felt a little bored.
He knew that he needed to build up a reputation if he wanted to inherit the position of Palace Master.
But his targets have always been those geniuses who are as good as himself, not this unknown Taoist master.
Even if we conquer the Yuan Dynasty, it would only be the beginning.
There are many powerful elders in the palace. If you want to completely win them over, a small Yuan Dynasty is far from enough.
"Let's play for a while longer."
Xue Ling supported his head with his right hand and said lightly while looking at the snow scene outside the house.
...
...
The twenty-fourth year of Zhenghe.
The rumors were so rampant that the government had to send troops to suppress them in order to stabilize the situation.
Soon after, famine inexplicably broke out in several places, bones were exposed in the wild, no roosters crowed for thousands of miles, and the scene was a scene of starving people everywhere.
Then, the lurking disciples of the Xianyue Holy Land and the remnants of Nanhua took advantage of this opportunity to start a war. Countless people were displaced, causing many people to complain.
Finally, under the secret instigation and encouragement of the Dongyun Dynasty's spies, uprisings broke out in many large states.
They claimed that all this was caused by the wrath of heaven caused by the Taoist master, so they took in a large number of refugees under the slogan of worshipping the righteous immortal and exorcising demons.
In a very short period of time, they gathered a team of nearly hundreds of thousands of people.
Although the number of people seems huge, they are just a mob with almost zero combat effectiveness.
Under the trampling of iron hooves, it disappeared in a few days.
But more uprisings are still breaking out.
