Ascension failed, the system took me away

Just when Zuo Daozhen was killing the two Dharma protectors, the imperial teacher Pudu Cihang who was in the Forbidden City felt something.

However, he was at a critical moment, the time he had been waiting for had come, and he could not get away at all.

Without paying attention to anything else, he started his final plan.

A piece of news was officially released by the imperial court, shocking the world.

The Later Jin, which had been eyeing the Ming Dynasty covetously, actually gave up its country name and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

Not only the Later Jin, but also the Mongolian tribes that were in the process of division, the Romanov Dynasty in the north, Ryukyu in the East China Sea, Annan and Siam in the south, various city-states in the Western Regions, and so on.

At the same time, they all announced that they would give up their country's name, enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and become citizens of the Eastern Dynasty.

The territory of the Ming Dynasty expanded directly, and almost the entire continent became the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

In the eyes of practitioners with the ability to see qi, the fortune of the dynasty, which was originally on the verge of death, soared at an extremely terrifying speed as if it were a last gasp.

The national destiny, which was previously like a candle in the wind, seemed to have been added with flaming oil, and began to burn explosively, with a tendency to condense into a totem.

Amid this thriving scene, there is one very eye-catching thing, which is in stark contrast to the skyrocketing national fortunes and seems out of place.

It is the southeastern coastal area. Raising the spark of the new era here is equivalent to an uprising, and naturally it will not be incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Previously, troops were sent to encircle and suppress the rebellion, but unfortunately, after the troops entered, they disappeared like a drop in the ocean and never returned. There has been no news since then.

Pu Du Ci Hang has no energy to deal with it now. Anyway, most of the vassal states have joined in to supplement it. Although the rebellious areas on the southeast coast are eye-catching, they do not have much impact.

He announced to the world that a Dharma assembly would be held in the Forbidden City, inviting Taoist and Buddhist figures to participate.

A few practitioners had long been suspicious of the National Master Pu Du Ci Hang.

However, due to his status as the national teacher, he was obscured by the country's destiny, and the current chaotic situation, he could not use numerology to deduce it at all.

Moreover, the dragon is hard to find, and it is difficult to find any trace of it even if you want to kill it.

This Dharma Assembly must be about something big, so it is estimated that he will show up.

However, since he dared to show up, he must have something to rely on. This ceremony was the Hongmen Banquet.

Although this trip might be a one-way trip, many Taoists still took out the magic weapons left by their ancestors and went to the meeting with the intention of slaying demons and eliminating evil.

The people in the Buddhist community naturally accepted the invitation from Pu Du Ci Hang, the most prestigious fellow monk.

Except for a few monks with profound Buddhist knowledge who were worried, the ordinary young monks could not see any clues.

They hurried on their journey in high spirits, chatting with their fellow disciples.

It is believed that Buddhism will rise again and may recreate the heyday of the 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties.

……

Fuzhou.

Zuo Dao grew wings on his back and soared in the sky, finally arriving at his destination.

The speed of flying is much faster than running on the ground.

Due to various terrain restrictions on the ground, he had to go around a lot. Even though he was a master of martial arts, there were some areas that he didn't dare to easily set foot in.

But it’s different in the sky. There are no terrain obstacles and you can go in a straight line, which shortens the distance many times.

However, the journey is not completely safe, as there are evil spirits lurking in the skies of some areas.

If Zuo Dao was the original surface unit, he really wouldn't be able to deal with these flying guys, and of course he wouldn't usually encounter them.

But now he has been upgraded, and is completely different from before. Through the ever-changing properties of his flesh and blood, he has grown wings and has the ability to fight in the air.

Bai Yin only gave him the method of immortal martial arts, and did not give him any other knowledge package.

Zuo Dao was still limited by his own vision and the insufficient knowledge he had learned, so he could only think of the method of flying with wings.

But there is nothing we can do about it. It is due to the limitations of the times, not because people are not smart enough.

If a modern science student were to use it, he could probably use his flesh and blood to create a rocket engine that would allow him to fly faster than with wings.

However, relying on his strong fighting ability, Zuo Dao still arrived at his destination smoothly.

Yan Chixia had already received the message from Song Yingxing and was waiting for his arrival.

The two of them actually knew each other and were close friends.

After all, they both served in the capital, one was a demon-suppressing guard of the Demon-Suppression Division, and the other was a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

When the Jinyiwei are investigating cases, if they encounter cases involving supernatural beings, they will contact the Demon Suppression Division to intervene and handle the case.

Compared with other colleagues who are engaged in intrigues and despicable deeds, Yan Chixia and Zuo Dao are like a breath of fresh air, standing out in this chaotic officialdom.

While working together on a certain extraordinary case, the two people met for the first time and realized at first glance that they were like-minded.

This acquaintance allowed the two of them to finally have friends they could talk to in the capital, and they felt they had met too late.

Seeing Zuo Dao flying over with wings on his back, Yan Chixia, with a full beard, smiled and said, "Brother Zuo, how are you?"

Zuo Dao fell to the ground, his upper body bare, and the broad wings behind him quickly shrank and finally merged into his skin and disappeared.

He was also very happy to see his good friend Yan Chixia: "Brother Yan, are you waiting for me?"

Yan Chixia nodded: "That's right."

Hearing this definite answer, Zuo Dao's thoughts raced and he understood many things in an instant.

"Brother Yan was not surprised to see my strange appearance with wings. I guess he had expected this. Could it be that he knows the master who gave me the magic?" Zuo Dao did not beat around the bush and asked directly to express his doubts.

Yan Chixia laughed heartily upon hearing this and said, "Of course I know him. Mr. Bai is indeed a master, and the methods he teaches are all extraordinary. Come on, I'll tell you on the way."

After saying that, he threw out a piece of clothing. Zuo Dao caught it and felt that the fabric was delicate and elastic.

He opened it and found that the clothes were different from ordinary styles. He could put them on directly from under the hood, which was very convenient.

Looking more closely at Yan Chixia, he was also wearing such clothes and looked very capable.

Zuo Dao put on his clothes and followed Yan Chixia into the city, and found that this place was different from other places.

The streets are clean and neatly laid out, and people move about in an orderly manner without any chaos.

The people here were all wearing new and convenient clothes, with happy smiles on their faces. Their mental outlook was completely different from the people he had seen along the way.

An unspeakable emotion rose in Zuo Dao's heart. He felt that this was the life that the people should have.

I couldn't help but recall the question I asked in my hazy voice when I was exhausted.

For the king or for the people?

Now seeing this scene, he was more certain of his previous answer.

The king is the head of the people, but there is a king only when there are people.

Judging from the letter the emperor wrote to him, this emperor, who had no choice, also thought so.

Zuo Dao took out the imperial edict that had been escorted all the way and handed it to Yan Chixia. He had never seen the sewn brocade before.

Yan Chixia removed the stitches and unfolded it, and the contents inside made him look surprised.

I couldn't help but sigh: "This Majesty is also risking everything!"
