Because when an emperor is determined to protect someone, his ministers are often helpless.
Fortunately, Lu Xiao had foresight.
He used that Hundred Ghosts Picture to ignite the countless resentments entrenched in the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion.
Fueled by that resentment, after the case of the Earl of Pingyuan was made public, the people of the capital of Dafeng were filled with righteous indignation.
Countless people took to the streets to petition the court to severely punish the Earl of Pingyuan.
Countless popular opinions converged, and although no large-scale conflict broke out, Emperor Yuan Jing still felt that the fate of Dafeng was severely impacted.
Again, even though he wanted to ruin Dafeng's national destiny.
But I don't want the country's fortune to decline too quickly.
This scale of shock has exceeded his bottom line.
So with this change, Wei Yuan gradually gained the upper hand in the struggle in the court.
The case ended with the Earl of Pingyuan being sentenced to death by slicing, his male family members exiled 3,000 miles away, and his female family members imprisoned in the Jiaofangsi.
In addition, dozens of officials and their families were beheaded for their involvement in the case.
Among them were the father and son of Zhang Feng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War.
At this point, Lu Xiao's depression was almost gone.
During this period, he spent most of his time in seclusion at Yunlu Academy.
That's right, it's a retreat.
It is now the thirty-fifth year of Yuan Jing.
Lu Xiao and Pingyang's wedding is scheduled for March of the following year (Zhao).
Although there is still more than half a year left until March.
But it has been difficult to see Pingyang recently.
Because Pingyang has been under close scrutiny by her mother recently, she has been asked to learn needlework.
Especially to sew her own wedding dress.
This is a custom.
When a girl gets married, if she wears a wedding dress that she has made herself, she will be able to live a life of love and happiness with her husband.
However, sewing a wedding dress is a very laborious and difficult task.
So you must start preparing to study early.
This also resulted in Lu Xiao only being able to see Pingyang once every few days.
So he could only use the rest of his time in seclusion.
How can closed-door research open up new paths for Confucianism?
Regarding this point, Lu Xiao had already had many thoughts.
But it has been stuck at a very critical step.
Fortunately, with the appearance of the [Tongtian Lu], this last piece of the puzzle finally allowed Lu Xiao to see the dawn of completion.
Chapter 261: The Concept of Tongtian Talisman
There are two ways of fighting in the Confucian and Taoist cultivation system of the Dafeng world.
One is to enter the realm of a sixth-rank scholar, and then embrace all things, copying and learning the unique skills of other schools, and putting them into writing, recording them in books, and then taking them out and using them when facing the enemy.
At the high level, one can learn with a single thought, and at the super level, one can replicate the enemy's spells with 100% accuracy with just a glance.
The advantage of this method is that when other systems face a Confucian cultivator of the sixth rank or higher, they have no idea how many skills the opponent possesses before actually fighting.
Among the many cultivation systems, there are always some that can inherently restrain certain corresponding systems.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, Confucian cultivators starting from the sixth rank can be invincible in the same realm.
But the prerequisite is that this Confucian cultivator has enough talent to master the skills of other systems.
This depends on one's personal understanding.
So in theory it's just theory after all.
Anyway, from the birth of the Confucian cultivation system to the present day, no Confucian cultivator has ever mastered all the skills of other systems in the world.
Even the Confucian sages of the past could not do this.
Besides this, the power of other skills displayed in this way is definitely not comparable to the original ones.
Although Confucian cultivators can copy enemy spells with 100% accuracy after reaching the 243rd level of Super-grade, this path is obviously not suitable for most Confucian cultivators.
As for the other fighting method, "Words Come True," that's even more tricky.
The power to directly change the rules of heaven and earth is to speak the law.
Still, theoretically speaking, the upper limit of this move is almost infinite.
But human power has its limits.
Using a mortal body to forcibly change the laws of heaven and earth is like hitting a rock with an egg.
If you are not careful, you will be attacked by the power of heaven.
Therefore, there are significant limitations on the Confucian monks' ability to use the power of words in battle.
Under normal circumstances, when facing an enemy of the same realm, if the power of "Words, Laws" is directly exerted, it can only be used three times. If it is used more than three times, the righteous spirit will be unable to resist the backlash of the spell.
Therefore, most of the time, the power of "Words Come True" is used for assistance or to buff yourself, because as long as your body can withstand it, there is no limit to the number of times you can use it.
But these are only auxiliary means.
If the difference in strength between you and the enemy is too great, it will have no impact on the change in the battle situation.
What Lu Xiao wanted to do now was to further develop his potential of "words followed by actions".
This allows the so-called "words come true" and possesses other abilities of the higher Confucian world.
Poetry can kill enemies! Lyrics can destroy armies! Literature can bring peace to the world!
This is his ultimate goal.
Only this kind of means can be worthy of the status of a Confucian cultivator.
Otherwise, Lu Xiao always felt that the Confucianists in the Dafeng world were suspected of being a wolf in sheep's clothing.
This goal has been in Lu Xiao's mind for many years.
It was only after he merged with the other Lu Xiao that he began to experiment.
You've probably all seen the effect before.
Whether it was Princess Huaiqing's poem at the poetry meeting where she summoned the strange vision of Guanghan with "Shui Tiao Ge Tou".
Or, at the Pingyuan Marquis' residence, he used the "Hundred Ghosts Diagram" to break the formation, stirring up countless resentments.
These are the results of Lu Xiao's initial attempts.
The results are obvious and shocking.
But it's missing the most crucial part.
That is, these visions summoned through his poetry and paintings are, fundamentally speaking, still just illusions.
There is no physical power.
This kind of power is enough to bluff others, but if used to fight against high-level cultivators from other systems, it is bound to end in tragedy.
After a period of research.
Lu Xiao gradually discovered the problem.
The core problem is that the Confucian system is too weak to enforce its principles.
Even if Lu Xiao thought of using literary energy to indirectly change the rules of heaven and earth, allowing it to manifest the visions of literary writing, the laws of nature would not agree.
Let me give you an example.
Treat Heaven as the Emperor.
Treat Confucian scholars as subjects.
As a Confucian scholar, I have indeed thought of a way to maximize the power of my subjects.
But the ministers were weak and powerless, and their influence was not influential, so they could not change the emperor's mind at all.
So even if what the minister said was right, this matter still could not be accomplished.
Thus, Lu Xiao thought of the existence of the Tongtian Talisman.
In a world of one person, there is a special power called [Talisman].
The so-called talisman can be regarded as a key.
A key to change the rules of heaven and earth.
Anyone who holds a talisman, regardless of whether or not they can perform the spells written on it, can still use it to draw upon the power of Heaven.
Therefore, even if a newcomer enters the world of cultivation, if he has enough talismans, he can easily kill opponents who are stronger than him.
But the problem is that making a talisman requires a lot of materials and effort.
Ordinary people simply don't have the energy to create endless talismans.
It is precisely because of this that the Tongtian Lu exists.
The so-called Tongtian Lu is a talisman that can directly lead to the heavens.
Because of the direct connection, the process of making talismans can be avoided directly, and talismans can be written in the air, borrowing the power of the Heavenly Dao anytime and anywhere.
This is similar to the emperor giving his ministers a blank imperial edict in advance, and when the ministers need it, they can write on it themselves.
The imperial decree will take effect immediately.
Many people may be confused when seeing this.
Even if that's the case, the Tongtian Lu has nothing to do with the Confucian cultivation system of the Dafeng world.
Why did Lu Xiao's attempt to establish a new path for Confucianism ultimately require the Tongtian Talisman as the final piece of the puzzle?
This is going to be a bit deeper.
Because the above description of Tongtian Talisman is only the first level of Tongtian Talisman.
The real power of Tongtian Lu lies not in the word "lu", but in the word "tongtian".
Only those who truly understand the mystery of "Tongtian Lu" will understand this.
Only then will you realize that Tongtian Lu was essentially a blank imperial edict given to you by the emperor, allowing you to write whatever you want.
Instead, I gave you the Imperial Seal directly.
This is the true meaning of the word "Tongtian".
Tongtian, Tongtian.
After you get through it, you are God.
Likewise, once you have the imperial seal, you are the emperor.
At that time, you can stamp the imperial edict however you want and write it however you want.
Even an imperial decree is not necessary.
A casual word can be as important as a sacred decree.
Say the wind, and it will come.
If you say thunder will roar, it will roar.
If you say the rain should stop, it must stop.
Now everyone understands, right?
Isn't this another kind of saying what you mean?
From the very beginning, Lu Xiao wanted to do something that had nothing to do with the Way of Talismans. He simply wanted to obtain the power of "Heavenly Transcendence".
As long as this method is studied clearly.
