Xianzun becomes a showman as soon as he loses his memory
Chapter 37 The position of the national teacher
In the mortal world, apart from the sects of cultivation, there are four major kingdoms: east, west, north, south.
Qingyun Kingdom in the east, Linghai Kingdom in the south, Xuanxu Kingdom in the west, and Changling Kingdom in the north.
These four big countries, as the four forces of mortals, have been neighbors of each other for nearly a thousand years. They attack and fight each other, one is strong and the other is weak, but they still cannot annex each other and unify the countries.
For nearly a hundred years, the Qingyun Kingdom located in the east has been powerful and has always been the champion. However, in the past 20 years, the Qingyun Kingdom has experienced a chaotic internal power transfer, dictatorship by foreign relatives, and powerful ministers in power, which has become increasingly declining.
The previous Lord of Qingyun, who was only [-] years old, accidentally escaped from the guards around him during a hunt, encountered a wild beast, was seriously injured, and died shortly after returning to the palace, leaving only an eight-year-old little prince Bai Ziyun, with him. Several younger princes.
From then on, the crown prince's biological mother monopolized the power, first supporting her son to ascend the throne, then arbitrarily promoting her natal family's relatives, cultivating her own power, acting behind the curtain to listen to the government, and firmly controlling the little emperor with one hand.
The ministers in the court refused to accept the empress dowager's dictatorial power to interfere in politics, so the generals of Zhenjiang took advantage of this to make troubles, secretly recruited the ministers, won the hearts of the people, held military power, and fought against the empress dowager in one party. .
The little little emperor had no power to protect himself, and was mixed between the two forces of the queen mother and the general. He was almost treated like a puppet and survived with difficulty.
Originally, when he was 15 years old, the queen mother was supposed to return the government to him, but at that time the queen mother's party was rampant, and it was the time when she was arrogant and domineering. When you are an adult, you will be in charge again.
The little emperor at that time had no power to resist, even if he was unwilling in his heart, but in order not to make the Queen Mother rush to do other things, he could only agree.
However, the world is changing, but in just three years, the power of Zhenjiang's general has become stronger and stronger. He is aggressive in the court, forcing the empress dowager's party to lose all arrogance, and there is almost no chance of counterattack.
Seeing that the general's party was about to turn the world upside down, the queen mother's party finally had no other tricks and had to back down first, and then kicked out the little emperor Bai Ziyun as a shield, and formally returned power to him.
The reason why the general recruited the ministers was that the empress dowager took control of the government. Now that the little emperor has started to rule in person, then the general's one-party excuse is gone. One drag.
Regarding this, the general and his party had no objection, and were happily preparing for the emperor's pro-government affairs, as if he was really just a loyal minister and good general who was dedicated to serving the country and the people, and never had a heart of disobedience.
However, General Zhenjiang made three demands.
First, the ruler of the country is in charge, so he should personally lead civil and military officials to go to the outskirts of the imperial city to worship the heavens on the stage, to show the people and God.
Second, the position of the national teacher has been idle for a long time, and the people in the country are worried about it. Therefore, when the king takes the oath to take the oath, he should be canonized as the national teacher to reassure the people.
Second, the reason why the foreign relatives returned to the king this time is the credit of the ministers in the court and the frontier soldiers. After the king is in charge, he should reward the ministers and reward the soldiers.
These three requirements sounded right at first glance, but the little emperor was so angry that his face turned livid, and his heart was filled with grief.
Except when the king ascended the throne and offered sacrifices to the ancestors in Qingyun Kingdom, there has never been a precedent for the king to go out of the palace to worship the sky in person. Now the general forces him to go to the outskirts of the city, but it is clearly showing the world that he, the king, is at the mercy of others of.
Furthermore, after taking office, he rewarded and promoted officials and soldiers...I'm afraid that all the people he promotes will be officials of the general's party.General Zhenjiang is clearly using his hands to spread and strengthen his party members.
The most important thing is the canonization of the national teacher...
Thinking of this, the little emperor Bai Ziyun couldn't help but burst into anger. At the moment when he was about to sacrifice to heaven, he still couldn't help but peek at the general Zhenjiang under his altar through the crown in front of his eyes.
General Xie Jiang is still the same as before, but his appearance in his thirties is exactly the most powerful age for a man. He is tall and straight, dressed in black armor, wearing a long knife at his waist, and there is a false sense of humility on his sharp face. His dark eyes stared at him intently, guarding his every move.
Beside Xie Jiang, stood a young Taoist priest dressed in white, with a soft and delicate face, pretending to be noble, but couldn't suppress the excitement in his eyes.
This Taoist priest is the national teacher Xie Jiang found for him, and naturally he is also a member of the general's party.
Thinking that he would have to stand on the altar for a while and canonize this person as their national teacher of Qingyun Kingdom, the little emperor Bai Ziyun couldn't help but feel his stomach churn.
Although Qingyun Kingdom is a country of mortals, it used to have close ties with the cultivation world, and would often send its own outstanding royal children to some cultivation sects in order to seek the protection of the monks and protect them from demons and plagues.
The cultivation sects around these mortal kingdoms will also send some of their disciples to these mortal kingdoms to be national teachers for a period of time, and often a national teacher will guard until the king dies before returning to the sect Continue to practice.
Because mortals are grateful for the protection of these monks, the country also respects those who practice Taoism very much, and spontaneously supports the national teachers in their own country.
In the eyes of the common people, the national teacher is simply the second invisible king.
However, over the years, the spiritual energy has become increasingly scarce, so the monks of various sects are busy practicing hard, and most of them forgot to send the national teacher to the mortal world for a while.
For a monk with a long life, this is just a short-term forgetting, and he will send his disciples there when he finds time in the future.But for mortals, their country has not been visited by a national teacher for decades.
Right now, General Xie Jiang sees the vacancy of the position of national teacher in Qingyun Kingdom, and is greedy for the influence of the national teacher, so he even wants to find a Taoist at random and push him to be a puppet national teacher, so as to increase his own power even more. power.
This is simply blasphemy!
Whenever he thinks of this, Bai Ziyun can't help but get dark before his eyes, and his heart is full of bitterness.
But he can't help it, he has no ability to resist the general who holds the military power at all, so today he is destined to personally confer a liar Taoist priest to be their Qingyun country's national teacher.
And the people in the country will never know that the new national teacher is just a puppet, they will only regard this liar as a monk finally sent by the cultivation world, and will only respect and support this liar from the bottom of their hearts.
How could the name of the national teacher be stolen by a liar like this?
"Your Majesty, let's begin!"
The general Xie Jiang at the side watched the little emperor in front of him start to dawdle, and he didn't know what he was thinking.He didn't want to cause side effects at this critical moment, so he not only started to urge the little emperor to get on the altar.
Bai Ziyun lowered his head and took a careful look at the steel knife on Xie Jiang's waist, his heart trembled suddenly, he could only move his steps mechanically, and numbly walked up to the altar that had been built.
Behind him, the Taoist priest in white who was found by Xie Jiang looked at the back of the little emperor as he walked forward slowly, as if he had seen countless glory and wealth after he ascended to the position of national teacher in the future. The side's ecstasy could hardly be suppressed.
Xie Jiang gave him a cold glance, and lifted his toe fiercely on the calf of the Taoist priest in white: "How did I tell you before, don't get carried away with complacency."
The Taoist priest was kicked violently, and immediately suppressed the joy at the corners of his mouth, coughed lightly, and lowered his face again, making a lofty and lofty posture, but his eyes still couldn't help but aim at the altar erratically.
At this time, the little emperor on the altar had also stood still, holding incense in his hand, praying devoutly to God.
"Today, in my eighteenth year, I have been in charge of the government and the court, and in the future I will work hard to govern, love the people, and work hard to govern..."
If there are real gods and spirits in the nine heavens, I only hope that there will be miracles from the heavens, sweeping away the evil and sycophants, clearing the temples, and restoring justice to the Qingyun Kingdom, so that the name of the national teacher will not be tarnished by traitors, and the people in the country will not be allowed to be corrupted again. deceived.
"...Since Emperor Wencheng, Qingyun has held the position of national teacher vacantly for 53 years. The civil and military ministers, the common people, and the common people are all in panic. This is a major matter for the family and the country. The scholar came here from the sky, bearing the responsibility of the teacher of the country..."
Bai Ziyun was still numbly reciting the sacrificial words he had memorized in advance, but his heart was suffering. Every word he uttered turned into a sharp knife, piercing his heart full of holes.
Could it be that God has no eyes and just let the treacherous villain steal the sacred position?
He really only hoped that an immortal would descend from the sky at this time, interrupt this ridiculous and pitiful sacrifice, and punish the blasphemous liar.
He really... prayed to God!
The miracle has not yet appeared, Bai Ziyun's lips trembled, and the last sentence was stuttered and confused by him: "I, today appointed, appointed the national teacher... the name of the national teacher is—"
Xie Jiang, who was standing under the altar, frowned suddenly when he heard these words. For some reason, an ominous feeling suddenly enveloped his heart.
At the same time, his sensitive ears heard a slight sound of wind coming from above, getting closer and closer to here.
what happened?
Xie Jiang's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly looked up at the sky above the altar.
"what--"
At the same time, several ministers under the altar raised their heads and looked up, all of them shrank their pupils in shock and screamed at the same time.
Bai Ziyun, who was struggling to say the last sentence on the altar, was in a state of unrest, when he suddenly heard the exclamation of the minister behind him, and was taken aback for a moment.
"Be careful, Your Majesty!", "Get out of the way, Your Majesty—"
The courtiers stared at the falling objects and shouted at the young king on the altar.
Bai Ziyun finally heard the sound of breaking through the sky above his head, he raised his head in a daze, and saw a dark and heavy coffin falling from the sky, whistling towards him.
He trembled all over, and instinctively took a step back.
With a muffled sound of "boom", the heavy coffin slammed down an inch away from him, cracking the altar made of bluestone in an instant, and the lower half of the coffin even sank into the bluestone. The upper half of the coffin is still in good condition, without a trace of scratches.
Looking at the coffin lying in front of his eyes, Bai Ziyun stood there in a daze, as if he was too scared to come to his senses.
The ministers in the audience had already exploded because of this sudden situation, buzzing into a commotion, the general Xie Jiang had also come to his senses at this time, with a gloomy face, he brought his relatives behind him The soldiers came to the altar.
The white-clothed Taoist also followed Xie Jiang, step by step.
Looking at the menacing general and the swindler Taoist priest, Bai Ziyun suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes were shining with hope, and he stared at the coffin in front of him.
Before, he secretly prayed in his heart, only hoping that God would send a miracle to interrupt this ridiculous sacrifice...
And then here comes this coffin!
However, with the dissuasion from the ministers behind him, he strode forward suddenly, pushed the coffin lid in the city, and violently lifted it with all his strength!
An indescribably handsome and cold man was lying in this black coffin, quietly looking at him with a pair of clear eyes.
Bai Ziyu was really stunned.
The person in the coffin was dressed in a dark and white Taoist robe, and sat up slowly, with his slender arms propped on the coffin, and a pair of white and well-proportioned palms were particularly beautiful.
Unlike the liar Taoist priest who pretended to be noble and indifferent, this person in front of him was like a soul condensed from frost and snow, as if he was born with the clouds in the sky and the snow on the peak, unstained by dust.
It's just that this person's frosty eyes were turning, but there seemed to be a clear mountain spring flowing slowly in his eyes, which finally added a bit of vitality to him.
Compared with him, the deceitful Taoist priest whose appearance and demeanor had some merits was suddenly compared to the sludge that was trampled on the ground.
How could such a godlike figure be raised in the filthy world?
Finally, Bai Ziyun, who had experienced great joy and sorrow in his heart, tried his best to restrain his urge to cry and laugh, and tremblingly asked the person in the coffin, "Are you... a god sent to me by God?"
Except for the gods, who can have such a demeanor, who can fall to the ground from such a high place, but still alive and well, with no injuries on his body?
During the sacrifice just now, God really heard the prayer in his heart!
Bai Ziyun immediately stepped forward excitedly, almost wanting to grab the immortal's hand and not let him leave.
Qiu Chenzhi, who hadn't crawled out of the coffin yet: "???"
what happened?
He originally thought that after being provoked by his last words, that guy Xuan Yu would definitely not want to hand over the coffin to the person behind him, but he originally thought that Xuan Yu would bring the coffin back to the Demon Realm by himself.
He was already ready to wake up in the Demon Realm, but only now did he realize that Xuan Yu was so scared that he didn't even dare to take the coffin back to the Demon Realm, but threw it to other places in the mortal world.
Looking at the aura and dress of these people around him, this place should be a country of some mortals.
However, these mortals are better than the monks he met before, and his status has been upgraded from a fairy to a real fairy in an instant.
Especially the young boy wearing the emperor's crown in front of him is rushing towards him with enthusiasm and sincerity, the expression on his face is closer than seeing his own mother.
Qiu Chenzhi, who was intentionally sealed in the coffin, had just woken up at this time, his hands and feet were limp, and his mind was in a daze. If he didn't pay attention, he was actually caught by the little emperor's wrist. with.
He looked up at Bai Ziyun, lowered his head and shook his wrist vigorously.
If you have something to say, don't start messing around as soon as you come up, we are already the ones who just had a black, long and straight boyfriend.
Reluctantly, he is now at the time when his hands and feet are weak, and the brat's grip is tight. He shakes it weakly a few times, but he doesn't shake it off for a while.
At this moment, Qiu Chenzhi suddenly noticed a trace of unkind eyes cast on him.
He raised his head vigilantly, and stretched his other hand towards the long sword at his waist.
Behind the little emperor Bai Ziyun, stood a few soldiers in black armor, and behind the leading general, a Taoist priest in a white robe, who had just recovered from the trance just now, was staring at him resentfully. he.
Qiu Chenzhi didn't know that he had just arbitrarily made sacrifices and interfered with the good thing that the Taoist priest was about to ascend to the position of national teacher. At this moment, he was stared at by the Taoist priest resentfully, and he felt inexplicable in his heart.
At the same time, the great general Xie Jiang had just seen his appearance, and he almost exclaimed like the little emperor, "The gods have descended to the earth", and almost fell into a moment of stunning trance, and only then did he come back to his senses.
After regaining consciousness, Xie Jiang also remembered his previous plan, and couldn't help looking at Qiu Chenzhi's "unexpected change" with complicated eyes, and took a few steps forward with a sullen face, like a sincere courtier, stretching out his arms to protect him. In front of Bai Ziyun.
"Your Majesty, be careful. This person suddenly fell from the sky. His identity is unknown. I fear that he will harm His Majesty."
While talking, he carefully stared at Qiu Chenzhi, but intentionally or unintentionally separated his arms from Bai Ziyun, as if he wanted to push the little emperor aside.
Hearing what he said, Bai Ziyun became anxious immediately, knowing that the general was planning a new plan in his heart, he immediately swung his arm away, and fell to Qiu Chenzhi's side, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, holding on tightly coffin side.
He shouted loudly, and the voice made the ministers hear clearly.
"No, this is clearly an immortal bestowed upon me by the heavens. This is the real national teacher of Qingyun Kingdom. I will never leave!"
As soon as this remark came out, the ministers under the altar gasped in surprise and looked at the general on the altar in unison.
Xie Jiang, who was slapped in the face in public, was blackened all over.
He took a step forward involuntarily, grabbed Bai Ziyun's arm again, trying to pull him away: "Your Majesty is confused, what should I do if the person in front of me is a monster from nowhere?"
"Furthermore, His Majesty has already decided on the candidate for the national teacher, and now he is suddenly capricious, changing the order from day to night, and bestowing the position of national teacher to an unknown person. How can he convince the officials and the common people?"
But this time, Bai Ziyun seemed to be a liar who really didn't want to give up the position of national teacher to the general, as if he was desperate, no matter how the warrior Xie Jiang pulled him, he just refused to let go and leave, just biting The tooth said: "Where do I change the order every day?"
"It was also said in the sacrificial text before that the national teacher of Qingyun Kingdom came from the sky, and blessed the people. This person appeared out of thin air, and his demeanor suddenly seemed like a god. , the position of national teacher is naturally none other than him."
Fuck him for appearing out of thin air!Is coming out of nowhere and appearing out of nowhere the same thing?
Hearing his sophistry, Xie Jiang was so angry that he couldn't breathe. He suddenly understood that the little puppet emperor in his eyes was desperately trying to fight against him this time, even if he wanted to hand over the position of national teacher to someone who didn't know the details. The people he brought were by no means cheap.
It's a pity that this matter cannot be left to him.
Xie Jiang snorted coldly, and stopped pulling Bai Ziyun's slender arm, for fear that if he exerted all his strength, he would pull the little emperor's arm off the ring in front of all civil and military officials.
He has not yet reached the point where he has no worries at all. The queen mother's party and a few Qingliu ministers are still eyeing him, and he can't hurt the king in public.
But it is very simple to play with a person of unknown origin.
He directed the soldiers behind him, looked coldly at Qiu Chenzhi who was getting up from the coffin, and said: "You guys, take your majesty away and escort him back to the palace."
"Then..." He pointed at Qiu Chenzhi: "Take down this monster that has bewitched the hearts of the soldiers, on the spot..."
He originally wanted to kill on the spot, but after looking at Qiu Chenzhi's cold face, he couldn't get the words out of his mouth. After a bit of murmuring, he changed his words: "On the spot... escorted to the prison , I will go to interrogate the demon afterwards."
"No!" The little emperor was in a hurry, and wanted to get up to protect his "immortal", but was blocked by a few personal soldiers calmly, pushing away from the coffin.
"Your Majesty, be careful of monsters, this way please."
Some of the soldiers seemed to be respectful, but they carefully pushed Bai Ziyun aside, while the other soldiers showed hesitation, approaching Qiu Chenzhi who had risen from the coffin hesitantly.
They are the personal soldiers of General Zhenjiang. At that time, they stood on the side of their own general and obeyed the general's orders. Even if they were told to take down the little emperor now, they would have nothing to say, but facing the "demon" in the coffin at this time, The whole group was shaken in their hearts.
These people have lived for so many years, and they have never seen such a fairy-like figure.
What if the person in front of him is really a fairy?So what if they are really the national teacher appointed by Qingyun Kingdom?
They dared to move the little emperor because the little emperor didn't have the power to fight back at all, but according to their Qingyun country, the national teacher has a cultivation base, and it is simply easy to take the lives of mortals like them.
So after hesitating for a long while, none of the soldiers who surrounded him dared to make a move.
Seeing this scene, Xie Jiang was furious.
Qingyun Kingdom has not had a national teacher for more than 50 years, and he himself is highly capable and never believes in these gods and ghosts. Otherwise, he would not have randomly recruited a Taoist priest to be a national teacher.
At this time, seeing that all the soldiers under him were cowed, he snorted coldly, pulled out the saber from his waist, walked towards Qiu Chenzhi, and shouted: "Useless things, an unknown demon will kill you." You are all bluffed, get out of the way!"
"The general will come in person."
Holding a broad-edged sword that has killed countless people, he walked up to Qiu Chen, looked at his face again, but only sighed regretfully, unwilling to show mercy anymore, and directly pointed the knife at his head. hack away.
Xie Jiang actually wanted to kill his hope on the spot with his own hands in front of the little emperor.
Surrounded by his own soldiers, Bai Ziyun wailed in despair.
With his wailing, a cold light suddenly appeared.
A flash of sword light roared like a white rainbow, flashing across the precious sword in Xie Jiang's hand in an instant, and the sound of the sword suddenly rang out.
Bai Ziyun's wailing was stuck in his throat, and he looked at everything in front of him in surprise, and he couldn't utter the rest of his voice.
With a sound of "clang clang", the invincible broad-edged sword that had killed countless people and was indestructible in the hands of the Great General Zhenjiang split into two, and one blade fell on the bluestone altar.
Xie Jiang himself couldn't help but stare at the person in front of him, panting heavily, and suddenly coughed for a lifetime, his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees involuntarily, coughing up a thread of blood from the corner of his mouth.
Then he looked down at the mysterious armor on his chest. Under the influence of the sword energy just now, the breastplate made of fine steel had already been torn to pieces, and a clear wound lay across Xie Jiang's chest, and the sword energy cut open his flesh. , The wound is deep with bone visible.
All of this happened in a flash. The great general Xie Jiang, who was still arrogant and domineering, with world-class martial arts, was seriously injured when he turned around, kneeling on the ground, bleeding from his mouth.
But no one could see how Qiu Chenzhi drew his sword out of its sheath.
Just after everyone's horrified eyes returned to him, the handsome Taoist priest who looked like a fairy descended from the earth had put his sword back into its sheath, stepped out of the black coffin, and came to the crowd, standing on a tall sacrificial altar. The stage looked down on everyone.
Then, under the fearful gaze of the crowd, Qiu Chenzhi turned around slowly, flicked his sleeves, and put the black coffin into Qiankun's bag in the blink of an eye.
Ordinary people don't know the universe bag made by the monk, but when he turned around and disappeared the huge and heavy coffin, all the people who saw it all couldn't help being shocked.
Immortal means... It is really an immortal descending to earth!
All the ministers under the altar could not help but kneel down, and even the soldiers around Xie Jiang couldn't help their knees softening at this moment, and they collapsed to the ground, desperately begging the gods for forgiveness in their hearts.
In a blink of an eye, only three people, Qiu Chenzhi, Bai Ziyun, and the Taoist priest who was going to be the national teacher, were still standing around the altar.
"Welcome to the National Teacher!"
The ministers knelt on the ground and shouted excitedly.
The liar Taoist priest in white stood awkwardly on the spot, bent down to help the seriously injured Xie Jiang, but his eyes were staring at Qiu Chenzhi's figure unwillingly.
At this moment, Bai Ziyun had no time to pay attention to him, his eyes were bright and full of hope, he only focused on looking in Qiu Chenzhi's direction, his chest was heaving eagerly with excitement.
Under the eyes of everyone, Qiu Chenzhi slowly raised his leg and took the first step on the altar.
call!Fortunately, this time my body was not the same as last time, because I fell headlong due to exhaustion.
It seems that his body is also gradually adapting to the confinement of that coffin.
Qingyun Kingdom in the east, Linghai Kingdom in the south, Xuanxu Kingdom in the west, and Changling Kingdom in the north.
These four big countries, as the four forces of mortals, have been neighbors of each other for nearly a thousand years. They attack and fight each other, one is strong and the other is weak, but they still cannot annex each other and unify the countries.
For nearly a hundred years, the Qingyun Kingdom located in the east has been powerful and has always been the champion. However, in the past 20 years, the Qingyun Kingdom has experienced a chaotic internal power transfer, dictatorship by foreign relatives, and powerful ministers in power, which has become increasingly declining.
The previous Lord of Qingyun, who was only [-] years old, accidentally escaped from the guards around him during a hunt, encountered a wild beast, was seriously injured, and died shortly after returning to the palace, leaving only an eight-year-old little prince Bai Ziyun, with him. Several younger princes.
From then on, the crown prince's biological mother monopolized the power, first supporting her son to ascend the throne, then arbitrarily promoting her natal family's relatives, cultivating her own power, acting behind the curtain to listen to the government, and firmly controlling the little emperor with one hand.

The little emperor at that time had no power to resist, even if he was unwilling in his heart, but in order not to make the Queen Mother rush to do other things, he could only agree.
However, the world is changing, but in just three years, the power of Zhenjiang's general has become stronger and stronger. He is aggressive in the court, forcing the empress dowager's party to lose all arrogance, and there is almost no chance of counterattack.
Seeing that the general's party was about to turn the world upside down, the queen mother's party finally had no other tricks and had to back down first, and then kicked out the little emperor Bai Ziyun as a shield, and formally returned power to him.
The reason why the general recruited the ministers was that the empress dowager took control of the government. Now that the little emperor has started to rule in person, then the general's one-party excuse is gone. One drag.
Regarding this, the general and his party had no objection, and were happily preparing for the emperor's pro-government affairs, as if he was really just a loyal minister and good general who was dedicated to serving the country and the people, and never had a heart of disobedience.
However, General Zhenjiang made three demands.
First, the ruler of the country is in charge, so he should personally lead civil and military officials to go to the outskirts of the imperial city to worship the heavens on the stage, to show the people and God.
Second, the position of the national teacher has been idle for a long time, and the people in the country are worried about it. Therefore, when the king takes the oath to take the oath, he should be canonized as the national teacher to reassure the people.
Second, the reason why the foreign relatives returned to the king this time is the credit of the ministers in the court and the frontier soldiers. After the king is in charge, he should reward the ministers and reward the soldiers.
These three requirements sounded right at first glance, but the little emperor was so angry that his face turned livid, and his heart was filled with grief.

The most important thing is the canonization of the national teacher...
Thinking of this, the little emperor Bai Ziyun couldn't help but burst into anger. At the moment when he was about to sacrifice to heaven, he still couldn't help but peek at the general Zhenjiang under his altar through the crown in front of his eyes.
General Xie Jiang is still the same as before, but his appearance in his thirties is exactly the most powerful age for a man. He is tall and straight, dressed in black armor, wearing a long knife at his waist, and there is a false sense of humility on his sharp face. His dark eyes stared at him intently, guarding his every move.
Beside Xie Jiang, stood a young Taoist priest dressed in white, with a soft and delicate face, pretending to be noble, but couldn't suppress the excitement in his eyes.
This Taoist priest is the national teacher Xie Jiang found for him, and naturally he is also a member of the general's party.
Thinking that he would have to stand on the altar for a while and canonize this person as their national teacher of Qingyun Kingdom, the little emperor Bai Ziyun couldn't help but feel his stomach churn.
Although Qingyun Kingdom is a country of mortals, it used to have close ties with the cultivation world, and would often send its own outstanding royal children to some cultivation sects in order to seek the protection of the monks and protect them from demons and plagues.

But he can't help it, he has no ability to resist the general who holds the military power at all, so today he is destined to personally confer a liar Taoist priest to be their Qingyun country's national teacher.
And the people in the country will never know that the new national teacher is just a puppet, they will only regard this liar as a monk finally sent by the cultivation world, and will only respect and support this liar from the bottom of their hearts.
How could the name of the national teacher be stolen by a liar like this?
"Your Majesty, let's begin!"
The general Xie Jiang at the side watched the little emperor in front of him start to dawdle, and he didn't know what he was thinking.He didn't want to cause side effects at this critical moment, so he not only started to urge the little emperor to get on the altar.
Bai Ziyun lowered his head and took a careful look at the steel knife on Xie Jiang's waist, his heart trembled suddenly, he could only move his steps mechanically, and numbly walked up to the altar that had been built.
Behind him, the Taoist priest in white who was found by Xie Jiang looked at the back of the little emperor as he walked forward slowly, as if he had seen countless glory and wealth after he ascended to the position of national teacher in the future. The side's ecstasy could hardly be suppressed.
Xie Jiang gave him a cold glance, and lifted his toe fiercely on the calf of the Taoist priest in white: "How did I tell you before, don't get carried away with complacency."
The Taoist priest was kicked violently, and immediately suppressed the joy at the corners of his mouth, coughed lightly, and lowered his face again, making a lofty and lofty posture, but his eyes still couldn't help but aim at the altar erratically.
At this time, the little emperor on the altar had also stood still, holding incense in his hand, praying devoutly to God.
"Today, in my eighteenth year, I have been in charge of the government and the court, and in the future I will work hard to govern, love the people, and work hard to govern..."
If there are real gods and spirits in the nine heavens, I only hope that there will be miracles from the heavens, sweeping away the evil and sycophants, clearing the temples, and restoring justice to the Qingyun Kingdom, so that the name of the national teacher will not be tarnished by traitors, and the people in the country will not be allowed to be corrupted again. deceived.
"...Since Emperor Wencheng, Qingyun has held the position of national teacher vacantly for 53 years. The civil and military ministers, the common people, and the common people are all in panic. This is a major matter for the family and the country. The scholar came here from the sky, bearing the responsibility of the teacher of the country..."
Bai Ziyun was still numbly reciting the sacrificial words he had memorized in advance, but his heart was suffering. Every word he uttered turned into a sharp knife, piercing his heart full of holes.
Could it be that God has no eyes and just let the treacherous villain steal the sacred position?
He really only hoped that an immortal would descend from the sky at this time, interrupt this ridiculous and pitiful sacrifice, and punish the blasphemous liar.
He really... prayed to God!
The miracle has not yet appeared, Bai Ziyun's lips trembled, and the last sentence was stuttered and confused by him: "I, today appointed, appointed the national teacher... the name of the national teacher is—"
Xie Jiang, who was standing under the altar, frowned suddenly when he heard these words. For some reason, an ominous feeling suddenly enveloped his heart.
At the same time, his sensitive ears heard a slight sound of wind coming from above, getting closer and closer to here.
what happened?
Xie Jiang's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly looked up at the sky above the altar.
"what--"
At the same time, several ministers under the altar raised their heads and looked up, all of them shrank their pupils in shock and screamed at the same time.
Bai Ziyun, who was struggling to say the last sentence on the altar, was in a state of unrest, when he suddenly heard the exclamation of the minister behind him, and was taken aback for a moment.
"Be careful, Your Majesty!", "Get out of the way, Your Majesty—"
The courtiers stared at the falling objects and shouted at the young king on the altar.
Bai Ziyun finally heard the sound of breaking through the sky above his head, he raised his head in a daze, and saw a dark and heavy coffin falling from the sky, whistling towards him.
He trembled all over, and instinctively took a step back.
With a muffled sound of "boom", the heavy coffin slammed down an inch away from him, cracking the altar made of bluestone in an instant, and the lower half of the coffin even sank into the bluestone. The upper half of the coffin is still in good condition, without a trace of scratches.
Looking at the coffin lying in front of his eyes, Bai Ziyun stood there in a daze, as if he was too scared to come to his senses.
The ministers in the audience had already exploded because of this sudden situation, buzzing into a commotion, the general Xie Jiang had also come to his senses at this time, with a gloomy face, he brought his relatives behind him The soldiers came to the altar.
The white-clothed Taoist also followed Xie Jiang, step by step.
Looking at the menacing general and the swindler Taoist priest, Bai Ziyun suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes were shining with hope, and he stared at the coffin in front of him.
Before, he secretly prayed in his heart, only hoping that God would send a miracle to interrupt this ridiculous sacrifice...
And then here comes this coffin!
However, with the dissuasion from the ministers behind him, he strode forward suddenly, pushed the coffin lid in the city, and violently lifted it with all his strength!
An indescribably handsome and cold man was lying in this black coffin, quietly looking at him with a pair of clear eyes.
Bai Ziyu was really stunned.
The person in the coffin was dressed in a dark and white Taoist robe, and sat up slowly, with his slender arms propped on the coffin, and a pair of white and well-proportioned palms were particularly beautiful.
Unlike the liar Taoist priest who pretended to be noble and indifferent, this person in front of him was like a soul condensed from frost and snow, as if he was born with the clouds in the sky and the snow on the peak, unstained by dust.
It's just that this person's frosty eyes were turning, but there seemed to be a clear mountain spring flowing slowly in his eyes, which finally added a bit of vitality to him.
Compared with him, the deceitful Taoist priest whose appearance and demeanor had some merits was suddenly compared to the sludge that was trampled on the ground.
How could such a godlike figure be raised in the filthy world?
Finally, Bai Ziyun, who had experienced great joy and sorrow in his heart, tried his best to restrain his urge to cry and laugh, and tremblingly asked the person in the coffin, "Are you... a god sent to me by God?"
Except for the gods, who can have such a demeanor, who can fall to the ground from such a high place, but still alive and well, with no injuries on his body?
During the sacrifice just now, God really heard the prayer in his heart!
Bai Ziyun immediately stepped forward excitedly, almost wanting to grab the immortal's hand and not let him leave.
Qiu Chenzhi, who hadn't crawled out of the coffin yet: "???"
what happened?
He originally thought that after being provoked by his last words, that guy Xuan Yu would definitely not want to hand over the coffin to the person behind him, but he originally thought that Xuan Yu would bring the coffin back to the Demon Realm by himself.
He was already ready to wake up in the Demon Realm, but only now did he realize that Xuan Yu was so scared that he didn't even dare to take the coffin back to the Demon Realm, but threw it to other places in the mortal world.
Looking at the aura and dress of these people around him, this place should be a country of some mortals.
However, these mortals are better than the monks he met before, and his status has been upgraded from a fairy to a real fairy in an instant.
Especially the young boy wearing the emperor's crown in front of him is rushing towards him with enthusiasm and sincerity, the expression on his face is closer than seeing his own mother.
Qiu Chenzhi, who was intentionally sealed in the coffin, had just woken up at this time, his hands and feet were limp, and his mind was in a daze. If he didn't pay attention, he was actually caught by the little emperor's wrist. with.
He looked up at Bai Ziyun, lowered his head and shook his wrist vigorously.
If you have something to say, don't start messing around as soon as you come up, we are already the ones who just had a black, long and straight boyfriend.
Reluctantly, he is now at the time when his hands and feet are weak, and the brat's grip is tight. He shakes it weakly a few times, but he doesn't shake it off for a while.
At this moment, Qiu Chenzhi suddenly noticed a trace of unkind eyes cast on him.
He raised his head vigilantly, and stretched his other hand towards the long sword at his waist.
Behind the little emperor Bai Ziyun, stood a few soldiers in black armor, and behind the leading general, a Taoist priest in a white robe, who had just recovered from the trance just now, was staring at him resentfully. he.
Qiu Chenzhi didn't know that he had just arbitrarily made sacrifices and interfered with the good thing that the Taoist priest was about to ascend to the position of national teacher. At this moment, he was stared at by the Taoist priest resentfully, and he felt inexplicable in his heart.
At the same time, the great general Xie Jiang had just seen his appearance, and he almost exclaimed like the little emperor, "The gods have descended to the earth", and almost fell into a moment of stunning trance, and only then did he come back to his senses.
After regaining consciousness, Xie Jiang also remembered his previous plan, and couldn't help looking at Qiu Chenzhi's "unexpected change" with complicated eyes, and took a few steps forward with a sullen face, like a sincere courtier, stretching out his arms to protect him. In front of Bai Ziyun.
"Your Majesty, be careful. This person suddenly fell from the sky. His identity is unknown. I fear that he will harm His Majesty."
While talking, he carefully stared at Qiu Chenzhi, but intentionally or unintentionally separated his arms from Bai Ziyun, as if he wanted to push the little emperor aside.
Hearing what he said, Bai Ziyun became anxious immediately, knowing that the general was planning a new plan in his heart, he immediately swung his arm away, and fell to Qiu Chenzhi's side, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, holding on tightly coffin side.
He shouted loudly, and the voice made the ministers hear clearly.
"No, this is clearly an immortal bestowed upon me by the heavens. This is the real national teacher of Qingyun Kingdom. I will never leave!"
As soon as this remark came out, the ministers under the altar gasped in surprise and looked at the general on the altar in unison.
Xie Jiang, who was slapped in the face in public, was blackened all over.
He took a step forward involuntarily, grabbed Bai Ziyun's arm again, trying to pull him away: "Your Majesty is confused, what should I do if the person in front of me is a monster from nowhere?"
"Furthermore, His Majesty has already decided on the candidate for the national teacher, and now he is suddenly capricious, changing the order from day to night, and bestowing the position of national teacher to an unknown person. How can he convince the officials and the common people?"
But this time, Bai Ziyun seemed to be a liar who really didn't want to give up the position of national teacher to the general, as if he was desperate, no matter how the warrior Xie Jiang pulled him, he just refused to let go and leave, just biting The tooth said: "Where do I change the order every day?"
"It was also said in the sacrificial text before that the national teacher of Qingyun Kingdom came from the sky, and blessed the people. This person appeared out of thin air, and his demeanor suddenly seemed like a god. , the position of national teacher is naturally none other than him."
Fuck him for appearing out of thin air!Is coming out of nowhere and appearing out of nowhere the same thing?
Hearing his sophistry, Xie Jiang was so angry that he couldn't breathe. He suddenly understood that the little puppet emperor in his eyes was desperately trying to fight against him this time, even if he wanted to hand over the position of national teacher to someone who didn't know the details. The people he brought were by no means cheap.
It's a pity that this matter cannot be left to him.
Xie Jiang snorted coldly, and stopped pulling Bai Ziyun's slender arm, for fear that if he exerted all his strength, he would pull the little emperor's arm off the ring in front of all civil and military officials.
He has not yet reached the point where he has no worries at all. The queen mother's party and a few Qingliu ministers are still eyeing him, and he can't hurt the king in public.
But it is very simple to play with a person of unknown origin.
He directed the soldiers behind him, looked coldly at Qiu Chenzhi who was getting up from the coffin, and said: "You guys, take your majesty away and escort him back to the palace."
"Then..." He pointed at Qiu Chenzhi: "Take down this monster that has bewitched the hearts of the soldiers, on the spot..."
He originally wanted to kill on the spot, but after looking at Qiu Chenzhi's cold face, he couldn't get the words out of his mouth. After a bit of murmuring, he changed his words: "On the spot... escorted to the prison , I will go to interrogate the demon afterwards."
"No!" The little emperor was in a hurry, and wanted to get up to protect his "immortal", but was blocked by a few personal soldiers calmly, pushing away from the coffin.
"Your Majesty, be careful of monsters, this way please."
Some of the soldiers seemed to be respectful, but they carefully pushed Bai Ziyun aside, while the other soldiers showed hesitation, approaching Qiu Chenzhi who had risen from the coffin hesitantly.
They are the personal soldiers of General Zhenjiang. At that time, they stood on the side of their own general and obeyed the general's orders. Even if they were told to take down the little emperor now, they would have nothing to say, but facing the "demon" in the coffin at this time, The whole group was shaken in their hearts.
These people have lived for so many years, and they have never seen such a fairy-like figure.
What if the person in front of him is really a fairy?So what if they are really the national teacher appointed by Qingyun Kingdom?
They dared to move the little emperor because the little emperor didn't have the power to fight back at all, but according to their Qingyun country, the national teacher has a cultivation base, and it is simply easy to take the lives of mortals like them.
So after hesitating for a long while, none of the soldiers who surrounded him dared to make a move.
Seeing this scene, Xie Jiang was furious.
Qingyun Kingdom has not had a national teacher for more than 50 years, and he himself is highly capable and never believes in these gods and ghosts. Otherwise, he would not have randomly recruited a Taoist priest to be a national teacher.
At this time, seeing that all the soldiers under him were cowed, he snorted coldly, pulled out the saber from his waist, walked towards Qiu Chenzhi, and shouted: "Useless things, an unknown demon will kill you." You are all bluffed, get out of the way!"
"The general will come in person."
Holding a broad-edged sword that has killed countless people, he walked up to Qiu Chen, looked at his face again, but only sighed regretfully, unwilling to show mercy anymore, and directly pointed the knife at his head. hack away.
Xie Jiang actually wanted to kill his hope on the spot with his own hands in front of the little emperor.
Surrounded by his own soldiers, Bai Ziyun wailed in despair.
With his wailing, a cold light suddenly appeared.
A flash of sword light roared like a white rainbow, flashing across the precious sword in Xie Jiang's hand in an instant, and the sound of the sword suddenly rang out.
Bai Ziyun's wailing was stuck in his throat, and he looked at everything in front of him in surprise, and he couldn't utter the rest of his voice.
With a sound of "clang clang", the invincible broad-edged sword that had killed countless people and was indestructible in the hands of the Great General Zhenjiang split into two, and one blade fell on the bluestone altar.
Xie Jiang himself couldn't help but stare at the person in front of him, panting heavily, and suddenly coughed for a lifetime, his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees involuntarily, coughing up a thread of blood from the corner of his mouth.
Then he looked down at the mysterious armor on his chest. Under the influence of the sword energy just now, the breastplate made of fine steel had already been torn to pieces, and a clear wound lay across Xie Jiang's chest, and the sword energy cut open his flesh. , The wound is deep with bone visible.
All of this happened in a flash. The great general Xie Jiang, who was still arrogant and domineering, with world-class martial arts, was seriously injured when he turned around, kneeling on the ground, bleeding from his mouth.
But no one could see how Qiu Chenzhi drew his sword out of its sheath.
Just after everyone's horrified eyes returned to him, the handsome Taoist priest who looked like a fairy descended from the earth had put his sword back into its sheath, stepped out of the black coffin, and came to the crowd, standing on a tall sacrificial altar. The stage looked down on everyone.
Then, under the fearful gaze of the crowd, Qiu Chenzhi turned around slowly, flicked his sleeves, and put the black coffin into Qiankun's bag in the blink of an eye.
Ordinary people don't know the universe bag made by the monk, but when he turned around and disappeared the huge and heavy coffin, all the people who saw it all couldn't help being shocked.
Immortal means... It is really an immortal descending to earth!
All the ministers under the altar could not help but kneel down, and even the soldiers around Xie Jiang couldn't help their knees softening at this moment, and they collapsed to the ground, desperately begging the gods for forgiveness in their hearts.
In a blink of an eye, only three people, Qiu Chenzhi, Bai Ziyun, and the Taoist priest who was going to be the national teacher, were still standing around the altar.
"Welcome to the National Teacher!"
The ministers knelt on the ground and shouted excitedly.
The liar Taoist priest in white stood awkwardly on the spot, bent down to help the seriously injured Xie Jiang, but his eyes were staring at Qiu Chenzhi's figure unwillingly.
At this moment, Bai Ziyun had no time to pay attention to him, his eyes were bright and full of hope, he only focused on looking in Qiu Chenzhi's direction, his chest was heaving eagerly with excitement.
Under the eyes of everyone, Qiu Chenzhi slowly raised his leg and took the first step on the altar.
call!Fortunately, this time my body was not the same as last time, because I fell headlong due to exhaustion.
It seems that his body is also gradually adapting to the confinement of that coffin.
