I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 494 Assassination
"His carriage came out of Zhou's house."

In an ordinary house in Xuanwu City, several people gathered, and one of them, a young man in his thirties, said with a determined look.

The other young men and women were also around 30 years old, and were all outstanding students in the academies around Tianjing.

The person in charge was the most beloved disciple of the dean of Fuyao Mountain Academy, Zhu Yilong, who was the runner-up in this year's imperial examination. "Everyone, it's not too late to retreat now. This time, there is no chance of survival."

"It is precisely because of this matter that there is no chance of survival that we need to do it. Otherwise, everyone in the world will indulge in perverse theories and heresies, and no one will read the wise words of the saints."

"Yes, he dared to drive his hawks and dogs to kill righteous men. We must let the world know that there is no end to the killing of righteous men. Today, he sacrificed his life for justice, which is in line with the teachings of the saints. Let him know that his 'theory of human desire' is disgusting!"

Those who can be here are the best of the young generation in the academy. Their own academic practice is not inferior to that of Wang Mingyi in the past. It’s just that a few months ago, Zhou Tieyi had his initial battle with Confucianism, and the one he fought was the secular bureaucracy.

Meanwhile, the disciples at the Confucian academy were studying hard and preparing for the imperial examinations.

Now Zhou Tieyi's people want to say that removing the sacrifices to the Five Emperors, and allowing their subordinates to kill students, has already angered the students in these academies and hilltops, so they have made today's "sacrifice for righteousness" move.

The Confucian spirit of righteousness must first be recognized by oneself, then recognized by one's own orthodoxy, and finally recognized by people all over the world.

Everyone present was filled with righteous indignation and willing to sacrifice their lives for justice, which naturally caused the several valuable treasures they carried with them to emit white rainbow light.

They dared to plan to assassinate Zhou Tieyi in public, although they knew that the chance of success was almost zero, but with the guidance of an expert, Zhou Tieyi's current condition was not complete, so they were not without any chance of success. What's more, as long as they could injure Zhou Tieyi, they could also arouse the resistance spirit of students all over the world.

Before, Zhou Tieyi was an undefeated legend, but now he has been injured by several students. Then, people all over the world will follow one after another and naturally be able to tear this treacherous minister sent from heaven to pieces. This is an unchanging truth!
"Now that you have made up your mind, let's do this today!"

······
Zhou Tieyi's luxurious carriage left the Zhou Mansion and stopped outside Baihu City.

Sun Chenglong and Deng Xuehu, two new disciples, had already arrived. They heard Zhou Tieyi whisper from the carriage, "Get in the carriage."

The two disciples boarded the carriage. After entering, the space inside was boundless. Fragments of the kingdom of God were distributed in a stepped manner, making Zhou Tieyi, who was sitting in the center of the carriage, feel as if he was sitting in the whole world.

"teacher."

The two disciples were about to pay homage.

Zhou Tieyi waved his hand, and an invisible force lifted them to his side. "I've said it before, just greet them on weekdays, there's no need for such rituals as paying homage."

His eyes fell on his two disciples. Sun Chenglong inherited his Taoist tradition of the Way of Thunder, and with the help of war drums and small Zhoutian pills refined by ancient humans, he made rapid progress in martial arts practice and was no less advanced than himself in the past. Now he was already an eighth-grade practitioner.

That night, Deng Xuehu realized what the holy way was, obtained the Precious Lotus Flag, and figured out the method of refining his mind in dreams. Now, he has apparently entered the ninth level of martial arts.

The two new apprentices have made good progress, but if they really want to become capable assistants and the inheritors of his Taoist tradition, he needs to take them to see the world. Otherwise, as his disciples, it will be far from enough for them to just practice.

"What do you think of what happened the day before yesterday and yesterday?"

Hearing Zhou Tieyi's question, the two men became serious. They both knew that although their teacher did not care about conventional etiquette, he was much more strict in testing his disciples than ordinary teachers.

An ordinary teacher, after accepting a disciple for a month, would still be busy teaching principles. He was different from Zhou Tieyi, who directly asked about the most difficult issue in Tianjin today.

Sun Chenglong, who had a family background, was the first to answer, "Those students who caused the riot were not the masterminds, they were just coerced. The mastermind was not in the countryside, but in the court."

Zhou Tieyi nodded slightly, then turned to look at Deng Xuehu, who had no one to teach him, "Do you understand?"

Since Deng Xuehu was awarded the Blue Lotus Flag that night and trained his mind with the Moonlight Dreaming method, his already precocious mind has been greatly opened up. "Okay."

Then he added, “My brother is like that.”

"Your brother?"

Zhou Tieyi showed an interesting expression.

Deng Xuehu replied, "My brother is quite smart and is studying in a private school."

Zhou Tieyi continued to ask, "Then how did you dissuade him?"

"I asked my father to break his legs, and he is still lying in bed."

Sun Chenglong looked at his junior fellow apprentice in astonishment. He did not expect that although this junior fellow apprentice was younger than himself, he acted so decisively. It was just like what the eldest senior apprentice said, since he was accepted as a disciple by the master, he should not look down on it.

Zhou Tieyi smiled and nodded, "That's a good idea."

Then he turned to Sun Chenglong and asked, "Can I break the legs of all the Confucian scholars in the world?"

Sun Chenglong concentrated on thinking, this was what his master really wanted to test him on.

He thought to himself, "Since the teacher asked this question, there must be a connection between the two questions. Managing a family is like managing a country. If we put the teacher in Deng Xuehu's perspective, now a 'relative' has made a mistake, but he himself does not have enough ability to stop it, so he has to rely on a greater authority to stop it. The head of the family in the world who has greater authority than Zhou Tieyi is none other than the current emperor. So can the emperor break the legs of all the Confucian scholars in the world?"

Sun Chenglong looked at Deng Xuehu, "Junior brother, how did you convince your father to break your brother's legs?"

Deng Xuehu answered honestly, "My father has never been to school, so he doesn't understand many Confucian principles. I told him directly that if my brother started to cause trouble now, I might not be able to become the teacher's apprentice, and our family, which had finally improved, would fall back to the previous situation, or even be worse off."

Junior Brother Deng’s father has never been to school, so he doesn’t understand the truth and can only explain the benefits. The current emperor has read many books, so he understands the truth better.

Thinking of this, Sun Chenglong already had the answer, and he answered with a cupped hand, "Teacher, as long as you can continue to promote industrial reform and make people's lives better, you will naturally be able to break the legs of the Confucian scholars!"

Zhou Tieyi laughed heartily, feeling very happy. The depression he had felt for the past two days was relieved a lot. The biggest reason for the incident this time was that he had too few capable people at his disposal. He needed to supervise the entire reform himself, but he could only supervise the reform temporarily. When it was further promoted, a lot of problems would arise, so he needed help. It was extremely important to have a disciple who could meet his wishes and was not a fool.

Now Zhou Tieyi finally understood why disciples in this world are sometimes closer to him than his sons, because disciples are the continuation of his own Taoist tradition and helpers in his dream of changing the world.

"That's a good answer. Some people told me to retreat in order to advance, but if I retreat from the central government, I will have no chance to turn things around."

Sun Chenglong was very proud of himself for having successfully passed today's test. He said with a smile, "The person who asked the teacher to quit must be a complete idiot. I don't know who this person is. I will definitely stay away from him in the future."

Sun Chenglong asked tentatively. The people who could give Zhou Tieyi advice in the first place in the past two days must be some of the most trusted people in Zhou Tieyi's team, but it was obvious that this person's answer was not very good, so Sun Chenglong half-jokingly tested him. After knowing who this person was, estrangement was inevitable.

Zhou Tieyi's smile faded, and he said with a half-smile, "You'll know later."

Zhou Tieyi continued, "You two have passed today's test on principles. Next up is the test on cultivation."

Regarding the test of cultivation, Sun Chenglong looked around. The space inside the carriage extended in all directions. It was more than enough to test his and others' martial arts with the teacher's methods, but maybe the time was too tight.

"Teacher, is it in this carriage?"

Zhou Tieyi smiled and nodded, "Just stay in this carriage. As long as you can survive later, you will pass the test."

Survive...

Sun Chenglong swallowed his saliva. It was not easy to be a teacher's disciple. He suddenly thought of his senior brother's experience. Just a few months ago, Mei Juncang and Zhou Tieyi also drove, but at that time they were going up Yujing Mountain and met Che Wenyuan blocking the road...

Thinking of this, Sun Chenglong suddenly woke up, and looked out of the car window from the extending stairs of the kingdom of gods. The gorgeous carriage had entered Xuanwu City and was heading towards the God-Slaying Division along Xuanwu Lake. There were vehicles coming and going around and the sound of people was bustling.

Suddenly, the sun in the sky became even brighter, so that the shadow cast by the carriage was like a quagmire, pulling the entire carriage downwards, as if it was about to sink into the world of shadows.

The sixth-rank 'hermit' of the thief family can control shadows. The one who takes action at this time has strength above the sixth rank, and is ready to sink Zhou Tieyi's carriage into the shadow world.

The ground beneath his hooves was like a shadow swamp, constantly sinking. Jueying snorted and neighed, and the breath he exhaled turned into wind, clouds, and thunder.

The power of thunder struck the shadow, dispersing the twisted and collapsing force, making the surrounding ground solid and flat again. At the same time, its muscles tensed up, and its huge force swept with a strong wind, ready to pull the entire carriage into the air. As long as it flew into the air, the interference of the shadow force would naturally be reduced.

"What a clever horse, but it's a pity that it helps the evildoer!"

A cry of regret came from the shadows, and along with it came a black hook without a single reflective edge. This was a strange weapon, similar to a dagger, two feet long, with a curved top like a hook.

This hook is called Mo Sha. It was forged by a leader of the Mohist school for a righteous thief two hundred years ago. The thief relied on this treasure to travel the world and executed hundreds of corrupt officials.

As the hook came out, Jueying's eyes revealed a human expression, and he could hardly suppress the look of fear. He thought, I am just a horse pulling a cart, do you have to be so cruel!

Although it can think like humans, it is not a human after all, and does not know the sayings of human society, such as those that confiscate property and exterminate families, leaving no one alive.

What's more, Zhou Tieyi's carriage is well-known, and everyone knows that there is something mysterious inside. If they want to assassinate him, it would be best to lure Zhou Tieyi out of the carriage before taking action.

"The knight violated the law with force and attacked and killed an official of the imperial court in public. This Mo Sha should be taken back today."

In the carriage, Zhou Tieyi's voice came out slowly, and at the same time, a chaotic bracelet was thrown out, almost crossing the limitations of time and space.

The bracelet turned into a yin-yang fish and was put on Mo Sha. Suddenly, two forces of the Great Dao burst out.

The shadow swept up like ink, covering everything in the world equally. In the shadow world, the mirror image of the Tai Chi Yin Yang Bracelet was born. Although it was not as good as the real Tai Chi Yin Yang Bracelet, it entangled it and prevented the Tai Chi Yin Yang Bracelet from coming to the rescue.

Since they wanted to assassinate Zhou Tieyi, the Confucian academies naturally brought out enough trump cards. At least it was not a simple formality, so they all made restraints and countermeasures for the magical powers and secret treasures that Zhou Tieyi apparently possessed.

The most crucial of these is the Tai Chi Yin Yang Bracelet, a peerless magical weapon embryo that was born in response to the fortune of the Netherworld. This peerless magical weapon was used once in Miaoyu's hands and suppressed a third-grade warrior. Through that use, everyone also figured out the level of the Tai Chi Yin Yang Bracelet itself.

This peerless magic weapon was created by the primordial ancestral Qi, and was born to save the world through the luck of the earth. Naturally, its foundation is first-class, but now that the Yin Court is damaged, the souls of heaven and earth have not formed a new destination, and the method of saving the world through the luck of the earth is still in the gestation stage, just like this magic weapon, which is only above the third grade and close to the power of the second grade.

But that was before!

Just a few days ago, Zhou Tieyi forged the truly peerless divine weapon, Yanhuang Tongbao, and planted three trees of gold, silver and iron in the underworld, further perfecting the rules of reincarnation in the underworld, causing the souls of the world to gradually be attracted to the Yinting under the Taihang Divine Court for reincarnation, which also brought further qualitative changes to the Tai Chi Yin-Yang Bracelet.

The primordial Qi in the Yin-Yang fish is in chaos and can evolve all things. In the chaos, three colors of light, gold, silver and iron, bloom. Then, precious trees emerge from the ground. The precious trees are full of heavy gold, silver and iron ingots. Each ingot symbolizes the three poisons of greed, anger and ignorance in the world.

Suddenly, all the gold ingots on the tree fell down, and countless greed, anger, and ignorance, the three poisons, rushed towards the young man holding the Mo Sha like a torrent. No matter how good the magical power or treasure is, it also depends on the person who uses it.

Fortunately, there was a prepared Confucian gem on the young man's waist that shone brightly, and in the face of countless greed, anger, and ignorance, it struggled to maintain its brilliance.

"Oh no! So this is the reason why he promoted the Netherworld Silver Notes."

Hiding in the dark, a spectator exclaimed.

"It turns out that his promotion of burning paper money is actually killing two birds with one stone."

In a courtyard, Tang Anshi, the Minister of Education, said coldly, "The one who started it all must be seeking profit for himself."

Inside the carriage, Zhou Tieyi knew exactly the reactions of the people outside.

The Yuanshi Zuqi can simulate all things, and the Tai Chi Yin Yang bracelet itself involves the luck of the earth, so it is very easy to simulate some of the power of the Yanhuang Tongbao. And this time, I can further cover up the Yanhuang Tongbao in my hand, making them think that they have concentrated the results of their business on the Tai Chi Yin Yang bracelet, paving the way for future wars. This is a plan that kills three birds with one stone.
