I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 484: Transformation into a Fish-Dragon

The reform in Tianjing was in full swing, but the reform in Taihang Mountain was even more intense than that in Tianjing.

When Zhou Tieyi was in Taihang Mountain, he mainly proposed reform plans and divided the forces of the three provinces in Taihang Mountain, separating the royal relatives, aristocratic families, powerful people, military strategists and foreign aid, Mohists, Gongshuists, Confucianists, and Buddhists, so as to prevent them from being entangled together.

Now because of the Moshi case, the military strategist has temporarily severed its ties with the Taihang Mountain family. Because of Zhou Tieyi's promise of reform dividends and redemption, the family has sold out the powerful family again.

Buddhism made a big mistake with the Dazhi Zen Temple, so much so that now all Buddhist temples in Taihang Mountains are behaving in a timid manner.

The Confucians had Wang Mingyi and Li Jianhu who participated in the reforms in the two places, but now they have split into the conservative Tianjing faction and the reformist local faction. There are undercurrents within themselves and they are unable to form a joint force.

King Ning, Mohist school, and Gongshujia were allies of Zhou Tieyi.

As a result, the Taihang Mountains, which were originally difficult to reform, and the black stone mine system that depended on the food and clothing of millions of miners were torn apart in half by Zhou Tieyi.

There were still many people who were resisting stubbornly, and Zhou Tieyi was not going to preach any principles, so before leaving, the task he gave to A Da and other personal guards and senior sister Miaoyu was to kill them!

When the reform reaches a certain stage, there is no reason not to wield the knife. The tangled mess has been broken up and is no longer a solid rock. All that remains is for the knife to fall quickly.

During the nearly one month that Zhou Tieyi was away, Taihang Mountain Province was able to hand over several million taels of silver in cash, and Ada and other personal guards made great contributions to the confiscation of property and extermination of the clan. Compared to the cash, what they actually gained more was a large amount of land and mines.

According to the previous logic, these lands and mines should have been allocated to the surviving families or the newly supported families, but this time Zhou Tieyi proposed a different reform plan, which was to establish local companies.

All the land, for example, was collected by the local county government. The local county government used this as a basis to establish mining and agricultural companies. The remaining families participated in the investment and hired refugees who had fled to the Taihang Mountains to carry out unified large-scale farming. If they promised to work for more than five years, they would be given household registration and company shares.

This is a new system logic. In Tianjing, Zhou Tieyi only proposed the concept of an agricultural company. In order to implement it, he also needed to plunder labor and seize land.

But here in Taihang Mountains, although there is less arable land, people can kill people to obtain land, so reforms are more active.

However, such radical reforms inevitably led to atrocities.

In the Baizhishan mining area, although the noble family of Shantong Mansion was preparing to build a new villa for Miaoyu, Miaoyu still insisted on living in the small courtyard where Zhou Tieyi had stayed before.

However, Taoist Miaoyu, who now holds great power and even killed a third-rank kiln owner who resisted stubbornly, frowned at this moment.

Sitting opposite her at this time was an elder from Taiyi Temple who had come here on a 'travel'.

"Nephew, this is ultimately against the harmony of nature."

The elder said softly.

Miaoyu frowned. She certainly wouldn't restrict Ada and others just because of a word from her elders, but what Ada had done in the past month did give her a bad feeling.

Because killing can complete the task quickly and also bring benefits, Miaoyu has clearly felt that Ada's methods of killing have become more and more brutal in the past month.

Ada and other personal guards themselves did not realize this, but every time she saw Ada, Miaoyu could feel the evil spirit from him, and the murderous aura and deathly aura were increasing day by day.

That's why she didn't refuse outright when the elders came to warn her about this issue.

But now Miaoyu is no longer the Taoist nun who practiced in seclusion in the mountains. She picked up the tea, took a sip, and then said with a smile, "Master, you have come from a far distance, and you must be tired from the journey. Why don't you stay here for a few days first?"

Seeing that Miaoyu had already served tea and sent the guests away, the uncle from Taiyi Temple could only smile awkwardly.

At this time, Miaoyu, who had already seen the third-grade celestial phenomenon, was no longer the same person she used to be. Naturally, she could not be controlled by her uncle. This time she came only to pass on a message for someone else.

Looking around, the uncle said to the servant beside him to hide his embarrassment, "Just take me to the quiet room."

Unexpectedly, Miaoyu interrupted, "Master, this temple is small, but it only has a study, a bedroom, and a living room. There is no quiet room for practicing in the mountains."

Miaoyu was telling the truth. This was originally a small courtyard used by a manager on duty in the Baizhishan mining area. It was not even a place to live. Zhou Tieyi did not live here for long, so naturally there was no expansion.

The uncle was stunned, "Then where do I live?"

Miaoyu smiled and said, "Since someone invited Master Uncle to go down the mountain to travel, are you still worried that you won't have a place to stay?"

These words immediately made the master uncle from Taiyi Temple blush and he walked away with his face covered.

After the uncle master from Taiyi Temple left, the servants removed the tea tray, and the surrounding space became floating like water waves. Zhou Tieyi's divine body appeared, but it concealed the strange phenomena around him and transformed into his own appearance.

As soon as Zhou Tieyi appeared, he closed the living room inside and out, changed the space, and allowed Miaoyu, who was originally sitting on the chair, to sit on him.

The sudden change in space did not surprise Miaoyu, because she and Zhou Tieyi were studying the Tai Chi celestial phenomena together, and they had already been in each other's hearts for a long time. Even though they were separated by a distance, they could feel each other's state, not to mention the means of change that were so close.

"It's only been over a month since we last met, and you're making trouble again."

Miaoyu pretended to get up.

Zhou Tieyi knew very well that a short absence is better than a new marriage. He put his arms together and shamelessly leaned forward, "Senior Sister, a month has passed, and it feels like a long time since we last met."

Miaoyu pushed Zhou Tieyi but found that she couldn't move him. Even if she used her magical powers to transform into Taiyin or Shaoyin ancestral qi of yin and yang, she would probably be attracted to Zhou Tieyi even more. She could only let him hold her.

After getting close to his senior sister, Zhou Tieyi asked with a smile, "Was that the senior uncle from Taiyi Temple?"

"Ah."

Miaoyu nodded slightly, "She took good care of me when we were in the mountains before. I didn't expect that she would be invited down this time."

Zhou Tieyi was not surprised by this. "The world is bustling with people and interests. Where can there be a real place for cultivation?"

In the past, Taiyi Temple was able to stay out of the matter because the interests involved were not deeply entangled, but now it is different. If a fourth-rank master can be persuaded to restrain Zhou Tieyi and Miaoyu's behavior, it will be a profitable business. Even a second-rank master will be tempted, so this uncle has no choice but to go down the mountain. Miaoyu thought for a moment and said, "Although this uncle has someone to ask for help, Ah Da and his men have indeed hurt Tianhe recently. Just from what I know, they have killed at least 3,000 people in the past month, and there are more in secret that I don't know about."

Zhou Tieyi talked about serious matters and put away the playful smile in his eyes. "War is fierce and fierce. It is ominous to use it. Killing people this time is against the harmony of nature, but it is in line with human nature."

Miaoyu understood what Zhou Tieyi meant. Ada and others were soldiers, and the weapons in Zhou Tieyi's hands were meant to intimidate others. Once they were deployed, blood must be shed, so that they could have a deterrent effect. Otherwise, why didn't Zhou Tieyi let others do such a gentle thing?

Zhou Tieyi then continued, "But we have been killing for a month, and we have all been asked to serve under the Taiyi Temple. The Shantong Mansion really needs to take a break."

Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, this month plus the previous imprisonment are enough to deter others. Since someone can ask for help from Taiyi Temple, it means that the third-rank or even second-rank masters can't stand it anymore. Drawing the sword and leaving at this time is a good thing for both parties.

Zhou Tieyi also needs to transfer A Da and others away to deal with the problems of local banks in the spring of next year, and Taihang Mountain also needs to enter a stage of recuperation.

Seeing that Zhou Tieyi finally agreed to sheath Ada's swords, Miaoyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and her expression softened. "Then I'll let Ada and the others in, and you give the order yourself?"

"Not urgent."

Zhou Tieyi didn't let Miaoyu leave, "I came here this time because I have another matter to discuss with you, Senior Sister."

"what's up?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"The Qing Emperor Zhao wants to marry his daughter to me so that we can be together."

Miaoyu's softened expression froze for a moment, then she said, "That's your business, why are you asking me?"

Zhou Tieyi hurriedly smiled and said, "Senior sister, what are you talking about? Even if Zhao married her daughter to me, she could only be a concubine. Without you as my principal wife, I'm worried that Zhao might do something bad to me! Since you don't want to, I'll cancel the marriage. At worst, I'll turn against Zhao. After all, she's just a descendant of the Five Emperors, not the Five Emperors themselves."

Miaoyu was just a little emotionally unpredictable. She was not stupid and naturally knew how much help Qingdi and Zhou Tieyi would get together for Zhou Tieyi. She sighed and said, "You are talking nonsense again."

Zhou Tieyi put away his playful smile and said seriously, "Senior sister, if the name is not right, then the words will not flow. I want to go to Taiyi Temple to propose marriage in February next year and marry you."

But to Zhou Tieyi's surprise, Miaoyu hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you still remember the oath we made after the thunderstorm?"

Zhou Tieyi looked at Miaoyu strangely. The rainy night she mentioned was the time when they worked together to comprehend the white jade chessboard left by Che Wenyuan. At that time, the two of them made a vow to let nature take its course and not regret it, so as not to fall into the calamity of love, be sad in secret, and damage their cultivation.

But at that time, both of them were not even of the third rank. Now that they have seen the Tai Chi celestial phenomenon, they complement each other. Becoming a Taoist couple is in accordance with the great way. Miaoyu should not refuse.

"I will remember it naturally, let it be..."

Before Zhou Tieyi could finish his next sentence, Miaoyu stretched out her hand to cover Zhou Tieyi's mouth and said, "Just remember this, and I will agree to your proposal at Taiyi Temple."

Zhou Tieyi felt that Miaoyu had something else in mind, but before he could ask more questions, he heard Miaoyu say, "I'm a little tired and want to be alone for a while."

This time, Miaoyu firmly used her palms to pry open Zhou Tieyi's arms. Seeing that Miaoyu was so determined and having just taken advantage of her and wanting to enjoy the best of both worlds, Zhou Tieyi thought that although his senior sister had rationally agreed to his marrying the daughter of the Qing Emperor's clan, she would definitely need time to accept it emotionally, so she used the oath they made to warn him.

So he smiled and said, "Then Sister, have a good rest. We will return to Tianjing together tomorrow."

This time Miaoyu did not refuse. After Zhou Tieyi left, Miaoyu returned to the study, took out the Qiankun bag given by Zhou Tieyi from her waist, and took out two volumes of scriptures from it.

One of the volumes is the Fish-Dragon Heavenly Book given by Zhou's mother, which has a total of 365 dragon chapters, and every word is precious.

Although it is called the Fish-Dragon Book, Miaoyu now knows the origin of this sutra. It is a heavenly book that the Buddhists sent in the belly of a fish!
Everyone thought that this would be the foundation of Zhou's mother's Taoism, but unexpectedly, Zhou's mother passed the book to Miaoyu, and she herself used her son Zhou Tieyi to overcome her emotional tribulation.

Although the second volume of the scriptures did not have as many dragon seals as the Fish and Dragon Book, there were only forty-nine of them. This was Miaoyu's opportunity. When she was practicing in Taiyi Temple, the Lord of Daming Palace visited her one day and praised her as a rough jade, so he secretly gave it to her.

Therefore, when Zhou Tieyi visited the Lord of Daming Palace for the first time, Miaoyu said that she knew this master and that this master was very kind to her, so she had the confidence to introduce him to Zhou Tieyi.

Miaoyu has also been diligently studying the scriptures given by the Lord of Daming Palace, and has comprehended the supreme method of forgetting emotions from them.

She wanted to use the "perfect preparations" for Zhou Tieyi twice, but Zhou Tieyi managed to turn the disaster into a blessing on his own.

But everything can be done once or twice, except the third one!
With the two volumes of scriptures in hand and having entered the third level, Miaoyu finally understood the profound meaning of the scriptures.

The supreme forgetfulness of emotions is the general principle, and the transformation of fish and dragons is the method.

These two volumes of scriptures were originally one volume, but were split into two by someone. So when Zhou's mother, the direct descendant of Taoism, took it, she only focused on contemplation and did not use the Fish and Dragon Book to establish her Taoism. Instead, the name Zhou Yulong that she gave it concealed the true purpose of this heavenly book.

Right in front of everyone in the world, someone set up a big game!

The two volumes of the heavenly book were now in Miaoyu's hands, and Miaoyu whispered the method above, "Transcend the ordinary and forget the emotions, transform into a fish and dragon."

This is a magic trick that a person can only use once. Once it is used, the person will be stripped of all emotions and desires, turning into an innocent child. At the same time, within a short period of time, the person will gain a peerless magic trick that is comparable to the strength of the first rank.

It was the unique method that Li Qinghua, the descendant of Xuandu Mountain's Taoist sect, used to turn death into life and escape the killing trap set by the gods.

Miaoyu looked at the two volumes of heavenly books quietly. She knew that the two volumes of heavenly books fell into her hands at this time. It must be a game that was painstakingly planned by countless big shots. However, if she could gain power comparable to the first-class power in a short period of time, she would also have a chance to break out of the game.

Moreover, even those big shots who had planned the situation at the beginning would never have thought that a chess piece with "average talent" like themselves would be able to comprehend Tai Chi.

So Miaoyu prepared to keep this backup plan. Thinking of this, her body suddenly dispersed into pure yin energy, but this pure yin energy was divided into two. One part turned into Miaoyu, who symbolized Taiyin, and the other part turned into the baby girl in her arms, who symbolized Shaoyin.

Both of them are Miaoyu herself. When she transformed herself into a fish and dragon, she realized the method of transformation. Her appearance became more solemn, and the emotional fluctuations in her eyes gradually decreased, but the baby girl in her arms was innocent and absorbed her best memories and emotions bit by bit.

Miaoyu said softly, "I have found the perfect method, and I will not let down the great way or you."
