God Weird Fairy

Chapter 216: I don’t ask God, I don’t ask the common people

There are nine departments and eighteen divisions in Dali, which are divided into two official systems: county officials and capital officials.

County officials, each of the nine ministries set up prisons and offices in the county town, and are equipped with many official positions. The supervisor of the fifth grade is the most respected.

Among the officials in the capital, the officials of the nine departments are respected by the second-rank minister, and they are divided into:

The ministers of the third rank and left and right, concurrently serve as directors of various departments;

A middle-ranking doctor of the fifth rank; a foreign doctor of a junior rank;

The sixth grade is in charge of affairs; the sixth grade is in consultation;
The seventh rank is the capital; the seventh rank is the capital;
The governor of the eighth rank is the governor; the governor is the eighth rank.

At the court meeting, Nan Yi fought with hundreds of officials. Not only did he successfully win the legal status of Zhenqi Martial Arts, he also obtained the official position of counselor of the Education Department of the Ministry of Education.

Let’s talk about the former first. With this legal status, the subsequent promotion of Zhenqi Martial Arts in the counties of Dali will not be obstructed by the governors of each county in the name of county autonomy.

At present, it is not easy for Nan Yi to promote Zhenqi Martial Arts.

In the eyes of the governors of various counties, the people's spontaneous spread of Zhenqi martial arts is tantamount to deceiving the people.

The governors of each county were enfeoffed and self-governing, so naturally they could not allow the spread of Zhenqi martial arts within the territory.

As the saying goes, Nan Yi spread internal energy in Chu County before. The reason why it went smoothly was mainly because Chu Kuangsheng got out of his way when the Eternal Bright Fire Sect invaded Nantian City. The Eternal Bright Fire Sect managed to blow up the Nantian Tower and released the people under the tower. The strange spirit of suppression caused chaos in Nantian City.

At that time, Chu Kuangsheng, in order to change the subject and not want Lihuang to pursue him for using the county guard's seal to consume his luck, he just promoted internal martial arts and reported it to Lihuang, which was equivalent to offering auspiciousness to Lihuang.

In addition, Nan Yi could still take advantage of Tao Zhiming's momentum at that time, and his internal strength was not obvious, so he promoted internal martial arts in Chu County smoothly without causing any trouble.

But no one expected that after the catastrophe of reincarnation in Nantian City, taking advantage of the chaotic period when Han Qing, the former head of Wu'an Security Supervision, took over the duties of county guard, Nan Yi would rush to spread the immortality energy widely before going to Yingzhou Island with Du Heng. Updated the inner strength martial arts to the zhenqi martial arts.

When Han Qing was busy with all the matters of moving the county seat and found that Zhenqi Martial Arts had spread spontaneously in Han County, it could no longer be easily contained, so he remained silent and waited to see whether Zhenqi Martial Arts could successfully obtain legal status in Lijing City.

However, in other counties, such as Wei County and Yue County next to Chu County, the internal martial arts was only slightly spread at the beginning. However, after realizing that something was wrong, the Zhenqi martial arts was strictly suppressed and the public was prohibited from practicing martial arts.

Therefore, if Nan Yi cannot obtain legal status for Zhen Qi Martial Arts in Lijing City, not only will he not be able to spread his martial arts in other counties, but even the base of Han County may be destroyed by Han Qing.

From this point of view, when civil and military officials compete with Nan Yi, they are only competing for an extra fortune bonus to help practice; while Nan Yi is competing for the foundation of his own path to practice.

When it comes to the foundation of the road, Nan Yi is more determined and firmer, with no intention of giving in or compromising, so he can naturally defeat the civil and military officials who are not monolithic.

However, even if he successfully obtains a legal status for Zhenqi Martial Arts, it will not be that easy for Nan Yi to spread the martial arts to various counties.

The governors of various counties will no longer obstruct and suppress them openly, but secretly they will definitely be unwilling to cooperate.

Nan Yi may need to send Yuan martial artists to a county to take charge of affairs in order to open up the situation of spreading martial arts in the county.

It's just that several origin warriors are still thinking about the method of true energy.Before they cultivate their true Qi and reach the level of metamorphosis, it will be difficult to open up the situation even if they really go to various counties with just the cultivation of Qi and fighting power.

So these are all things for later.Nan Yi still has a long way to go before he can gain vast amounts of trust just by sitting at home.

Back to the subject, today's court meeting, in addition to establishing a legal title for Zhenqi Martial Arts, mainly arranged for Nan Yi to have a casual official position from the eighth rank, the Education Department of the Ministry of Education.

Without an official position, Emperor Li could not summon Nan Yi to meet him in private.

But Nan Yi is a white man, and he has not even stayed at Wuxiang Academy for three years. He is too young and has insufficient qualifications to be promoted suddenly.

Therefore, Emperor Li only arranged a casual official position for Nan Yi so that he could be summoned privately.

This idle position is not of high rank, but it does not require Nan Yi Huamao to sign in, so he can receive a monthly salary.

Then, after the court meeting dispersed, Nan Yi did not leave the palace directly. Instead, under the guidance of the servants, he walked through the garden and forest along the bluestone paths. After seemingly detouring several times, he arrived at the imperial study.

In the imperial study room, the atmosphere is quiet and solemn. There are calligraphy works by famous artists hanging on the wall, and there are also rare ancient books, neatly listed on the bookshelf, or placed randomly on the table.

Lihuang, who had never taken any detours, was already sitting at a carved sandalwood table, holding an ancient book in his hand and flipping through it gently.

Nan Yi entered the imperial study and took advantage of the opportunity to salute Emperor Li to take a closer look.

He took office as Emperor Li and died suddenly in his youth.As the cousin of the deceased emperor, he is still only 28 years old even though he has been on the throne for more than three years.

His face is as handsome as a knife, his eyes are deep and intelligent, he sits upright on the chair, his body is majestic, and he shows his grace and magnanimity.

When Nan Yi entered the royal study and saluted him, Emperor Li put down the scroll in his hand and looked at Nan Yi, indicating that he was exempt from the ceremony.

Then, although Huang Li admired Zhenqi martial arts, he did not show any eagerness. Instead, he asked softly and casually: "I wonder how Nan Qing persuaded the officials of the nine departments in recent days?"

Hearing Emperor Li's question, Nan Yi's heart moved slightly.

Although he was meeting privately with officials from the nine ministries, Nan Yi didn't think that Lihuang Hui really didn't know the details.

So Emperor Li's question seemed casual, but in fact he was secretly asking about Nan Yi's position, and hoped that Nan Yi would not get too close to civil and military officials.

Nan Yi suddenly felt a little pitiful for Li Huang.

In the Dali court where all civil and military officials were monks, the current Emperor Li was both the king of a country and a mortal.

He is obviously full of ambition and vigor, but he is struggling. He can only use the word "rules" to persuade hundreds of officials and monks to firmly sit on the throne and not be a powerless king.

On the one hand, Lihuang faced a tacit understanding of the powerful people from the aristocratic family; on the other hand, he faced the natural difference in attitude between monks and mortals.

Therefore, no matter how ambitious Li Huang was, it would be difficult to completely reform the civil service. He could only start with "rules", try to limit the power of officials, and try to seek benefits for the people.

However, Nan Yi sighed in his heart, but at the moment, Nan Yi had no intention of helping Li Huang.

Nan Yi, who is also a monk, also has a natural attitude difference with Li Huang, and only pursues his own transcendence.

However, Nan Yi has no intention of being involved in the officialdom and is not prepared to use his official body to assist his practice, so he will most likely remain neutral and not join forces with officials.

Seeing that Li Huang seemed to be asking questions casually, Nan Yi answered very casually: "Part of it is that he has a little braid to catch, and he doesn't want to break up with me; part of it is that he is close to Su Guang and wants to sell Su Guang's face, so let's leave it at that." . There are only a few left. Seeing that the situation is over and they can’t sing alone, they don’t want to fight with me."

Nan Yi spoke very straightforwardly, without any euphemism.

But Huang Li could tell that Nan Yi's straightforward tone was filled with a sense of alienation and alienation.

It was as if Nan Yi was saying to Li Huang: Don't worry, I won't join forces with Baiguan, but I won't fully support you either.

Li Huang chuckled: "Officials from the nine ministries each have their own demands, and they are indeed not monolithic."

——It's a pity that in the face of external forces, especially those from me, there will be a silent understanding.After chuckling, Lihuang seemed to officially start chatting about bits and pieces of Zhenqi Martial Arts.

"I heard that compared to the Immortal Clan Kung Fu, the Zhenqi Martial Arts developed by Nanqing is better than the Easy Way, and it won't put your life in danger?"

"Your Majesty said it very well."

Although Emperor Li was a mortal, he did not know anything about spiritual practice.So Nan Yi nodded and explained directly:
"Cultivation of true qi is based on martial arts, supplemented by visualization methods to receive the true qi, and then transport the heaven to refine the qi, and continue to grow in the body."

"Although true energy has some magical properties of Yuan Qi, it is not Yuan Qi itself after all, and it will not be as dangerous as the source of Yuan Qi."

Li Huang nodded understandingly.

Nan Yi opened up the Zhenqi Martial Arts in this way, which really means that the entire Zhenqi Martial Arts relies on him alone.

Although it is not a new way created out of nothing in the strict sense, as long as Nan Yi does not die, Zhenqi Martial Arts will last forever.

For ordinary people, cultivating true energy is actually the best way to get in touch with extraordinary things. There is no need to gamble your life to gain the opportunity to enter Taoism.

Lihuang continued to ask: "I also heard that the different methods of Zhenqi concept actually correspond to several martial arts protectors under Nanqing's command, also known as Yuan warriors?"

Nan Yi replied: "Yes, Zhenqi martial arts is divided into different Dharma lines. The master of each Dharma lineage is the Origin Martial Artist, who is responsible for transforming the Source Qi into Zhen Qi and bears the risks of the Source Qi."

"But ordinary warriors, who use the Dharma Gate to draw in the true energy, will not directly come into contact with the source of energy."

In Zhenqi Martial Arts, strictly speaking, only twelve Yuan warriors are monks; the remaining Zhenqi warriors or Yi warriors practice through the method of visualization and are in the fuzzy zone between the mortal level and the yellow level, and are not considered monks.

After Lihuang understood the basic situation of Zhenqi martial arts, he suddenly asked: "In Nanqing's opinion, can I become a Yiyuan warrior?"

Nan Yi was silent for a while, and then said: "If your Majesty can first enter Taoism as a mortal and become a monk, he will be able to develop the true energy method based on the skills he has practiced."

Nan Yi did not answer Li Huang directly.

But it was equivalent to a positive answer to Emperor Li.

The reason why Emperor Li was a mortal was precisely because he did not have the corresponding spiritual roots. When he was 16 years old, he was tested by the royal family and was not allowed to try to practice the royal family's skills, that is, the Yuanshi Immortal Sect.

At the same time, it was precisely because there were no other monks in the royal generation except the previous generation Emperor Li who died suddenly, that by chance, the current emperor Li succeeded him to the throne.

Emperor Li did not dare to gamble his life, just as Bi Shengke, the magistrate of Nanshan County, did not dare to gamble his life.

If you can't become a monk, Li Huang can't be a source warrior. At most, you can choose a true energy method and practice visualization.

Emperor Li sighed softly: "In Nan Qing's opinion, which channel of Qi can I cultivate?"

"Your Majesty, the most suitable one is the Immortal Qi. Although the Immortal Qi is the most basic, it is the most extraordinary. It directly uses the power of rules as the source of the Qi."

"Other zhenqi methods, with Yuan Qi as their source, may appear to be more magical, but they lose their inner integrity and peace. If they are cultivated to a certain level, they may be shackled by Yuan Qi."

"Your Majesty, when you cultivate your true qi, you should not pursue combat power. Therefore, in my opinion, you can cultivate your true qi."

"Furthermore, it is the king's ministers who are on the shore of the land. I hope that the people of Dali will all be your majesty's subordinates and gather blessings for your majesty."

Emperor Li's face showed no joy or sadness, but after pondering for a long time, he continued to ask: "The Qi of Immortality, since it is called Immortality, can you get immortality?"

After careful consideration, Nan Yi replied: "As far as immortality is concerned, direct immortality is a luxury. It can only prolong life and strengthen the body, which is similar to the lifespan of a Qi-nourishing monk."

Emperor Li asked: "Can a Yuan warrior achieve immortality?"

Nan Yi told the truth: "Zhen Qi Martial Arts is still being perfected. Currently, several Yuan warriors under my command are in the realm of nourishing Qi purely in terms of Zhen Qi Martial Arts. However, they are trying to cultivate Zhen Qi on top of Zhen Qi. .”

"If the True Qi cultivation is completed, the origin warrior can enter the realm of metamorphosis, and later merge into the path of immortal cultivation, enter the Tao through martial arts, and build the foundation for cultivation."

"And ordinary warriors, if they have cultivated their true energy to the state of transformation and have a firm mind, they can also try to transcend the true energy into true energy and use martial arts to enter the Tao."

To put it simply, although the combat power of Zhenqi warriors is slightly weaker than that of ordinary monks, purely in terms of realm and rank, there is no difference, and they can all be called monks.

How far they can go on the path of spiritual practice varies from person to person, and it is difficult to generalize.But at least, as long as the method of true energy is explored, the martial arts monk's subsequent practice path will be the same as that of the immortal monk, and there is no need to explore every step by oneself.

Lihuang took a deep look at Nan Yi and said, "The Immortal Sect will not let the true Qi method spread."

If we talk about Zhenqi martial arts, it only makes the monks from the outer sect of the Immortal Sect feel that the people's hearts will be deceived.

Then the method of true energy can allow people to gradually become monks without any risk, which is truly shaking the foundation of the immortal sect.

Even though the Dali Dynasty was just a sheep farm at the outer gate of the Immortal Sect, it was not taken seriously by the senior officials of the Immortal Sect.

But if Nan Yi dares to completely shake the foundation of the Immortal Sect, he will definitely cause the top ten Immortal Sects to join forces to suppress him.

Li Huang could see this, and so did Nan Yi.

Theoretically, if Nanyi Zhenqi Martial Arts is updated to Zhenqi Martial Arts, all people can become monks who enter the Tao through martial arts without risking their lives.

However, the so-called immortals are people from the mountains.If there are no mortals to act as human beings and provide trust, how can there be people on the mountain and immortals above humans?
Therefore, Nan Yi calmly said: "The method of true Qi will not be widely spread. Except for the Twelve Source Warriors, it will be secretly taught to a few people at most."

When Emperor Li heard this, he seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "This is good. It allows the people to practice their true energy and have a little room to struggle when facing the weird things of the gods. It is already rare."

Nan Yi was silent.

He is not Huang Nian'er, and he does not have mind-reading powers.

Although he could understand most of Li Huang's hidden meanings.But Nan Yi still dared not say what kind of thoughts Li Huang had.

With the dual identities of "Li Huang" and "mortal" at the same time, Li Huang's true thoughts are difficult to guess.

Nan Yi couldn't tell whether Emperor Li wanted to achieve extraordinary immortality for himself, or whether he wanted the common people to live a better life, and he didn't want to make it too clear.

Nan Yi just suddenly thought of a poem.

In his previous life, Li Shangyin wrote: It’s a pity that I sit down at the front table in the middle of the night and don’t ask about the common people or the ghosts and gods.

In Dali, this poem may have to be said the other way around:

"It's a pity that I sit down at the front table in the middle of the night and don't ask about God or the common people."
