I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 534: Subordinates’ Thoughts
After Mei Juncang's analysis, Shen Tu Yuan sat in the car and pondered carefully, gradually tasting some of the flavor.

In this way, we can understand why Gao Wencan wanted to kill people. It was this killing that made him blockade the Imperial Academy and expose the fact that the God-Slaying Division was too powerful to be eliminated. So Gao Wencan from the Queen Mother's faction went to Zixiaotian to ask for instructions. The Emperor of Daxia was unable to get away, so he gave more power to the Queen Mother's Pingzhang Palace, allowing the Pingzhang Palace to naturally intervene in the management and inspection of Tianjing. What's more, Shentu Yuan could already imagine that in the end of this incident, the God-Slaying Division would definitely "fail to handle the case effectively", because this was originally a wrongful case of a thief in office, so the Queen Mother represented by Gao Wencan would intervene in the internal affairs of the God-Slaying Division.

"The drunkard doesn't care about wine."

Shentu Yuan said with a sigh that the top three ranks had their own plans, and the middle three ranks naturally had their own plans, as did himself and others.

"So that's why you didn't confront Gao Wencan and chose to leave?"

Now that Zhou Tieyi is not in Tianjing, the Queen Mother, the Emperor of Daxia and the Confucian Academy have reached an agreement. Even if these Zhou family disciples and former officials try their best, they cannot stir up any waves. The more they move, the more flaws they will reveal.

Mei Juncang smiled slightly, "This is just one reason."

Shen Tu Yuan looked solemn, leaning forward with his arms resting on the table, "What about the other reason?"

Mei Juncang smiled and said, "In addition to intervening in the God-Slaying Division, there is another important reason why the other party gained control of this matter. That is, Daxia's library is very likely not on Yujing Mountain, but in a special space. There are only one or two ways to enter this space, one of which involves using the official seal of the collection officer."

"If the name is not right, then the words will not flow. The official seal contains the fate of the Great Xia nation. The method of using it is equivalent to the set rules. So if the collection official originally did not allow it, even if a third-rank or second-rank person got the official seal, they would not be able to use it. But now that the collection official is dead, they are ordered to investigate the case, so they naturally have the authority to use the official seal."

"The stuff in the library!"

Shentu Yuan immediately realized that the group of people had not yet taken possession of the things in the library.

"Then we can't do anything now?"

Mei Juncang's smile faded. "Not entirely. Didn't Captain Shentu remind them that this matter was related to the evil spirit? And since the library is not on Yujing Mountain, the Queen Mother has no control over it."

Shentu Yuan's body trembled slightly. He originally thought that Mei Juncang would choose some roundabout strategy, but he didn't expect that he would be even more ferocious than himself. He actually wanted to contact Shinto directly and make the fake one real.

Especially the sentence 'the Queen Mother of Heaven has no control over it', which is an important reminder that the Queen Mother of Heaven has merged with the land veins of Yujing Mountain and can control the world of the living and the underworld in Tianjing, but she cannot control places outside Tianjing.

Now there are only a handful of second-rank officials in Tianjin who can take action, namely Si Lu Qingkonggui and a seriously injured Si Cun Dong Xingshu.

Mei Juncang suddenly blew a whistle to stop the horse in front, then he bowed to Shen Tu Yuan and said, "This matter is of great importance. I have to go to the Si Lu Mansion first to report the cause and effect."

After saying that, he actually got out of the car leisurely and went towards Si Lu Mansion.

Shen Tu Yuan looked at Mei Juncang's leaving back and fell into deep thought. It was obvious that Mei Juncang was going to delay Si Lu Qingkong Gui. No matter how he did it, Qingkong Gui would most likely be slowed down in today's chaos of evil gods, which would give the 'evil gods' more opportunities to take action.

And the action of contacting the evil gods is obviously to be done by oneself.

Shentu Yuan lowered the curtain again and ordered his guards to return to the God-Slaying Division.

Now that things have come to this, there is no way back anyway, so it is better to test the opponent's limits. Shentu Yuan already understands why Mei Juncang did this.

From the moment he led his troops to seal the Imperial Academy, there was no need to continue playing this game of chess in the court of Tianjing. He could only take risky moves and see if he could give it one more try. Anyway, no matter how bad the situation was, only the followers of Tianjing would be wiped out, and there would be no worse result.

He leaned against the backrest of the car, falling into a state of dozing, but in fact, in his mind, an illusory mask was emitting a faint glow, transmitting its information to Zhou Tieyi.

Above Taiyi Temple, Zhou Tieyi, who was explaining the Five Immortals Avenue, paused slightly, and even the rumbling thunder in the sky faded into silence.

The many Taoists who were listening to the sermon with fascination looked up and asked, "Why did Lord Zhou stop preaching?"

Zhou Tieyi looked at the big cauldron in front of him. After two or three days of refining, hundreds of ghost immortals had transformed into human immortals. In addition, there were hundreds of fourth-grade Taoists who had overcome numerous obstacles and came to hear the news. It was enough to carry out the next step of action.

He smiled and said, "We are preaching in the clouds, and we are free and easy, but the people of the world have been suffering from drought for a long time. The thirty-three heavens method cannot be fully used today, and can only solve the problem of spring rain for a while, but the spring ploughing and summer planting in the world cannot be stopped. I preach the Five Immortals method to benefit the people of the world, how can I enjoy the freedom in the clouds?"

Many Taoists immediately understood the meaning of the music, and bowed one by one, saying, "Mr. Zhou, we are grateful for your teachings. We have no way to repay you, but we are willing to do our part for the people of the world."

These fourth-grade ghost immortals and the ghost immortals transformed into human-immortal babies were excited, because Zhou Tieyi's words meant that they were going to practice the earthly immortal method. Although they continued to listen to the teachings and gained a lot, it was also very important to be able to occupy a position first. Who knows how difficult it will be to find a huge field later.

Hundreds of fourth-rank Taoists and human-immortal infants stood up, willing to put Zhou Tieyi's ideal of governing the world into practice.

Zhou Tieyi smiled and nodded, "You should take my order and go to the Queen Mother in Pingzhang Palace. I have already told the Queen Mother about the farming this spring, so she will naturally know how to arrange for you."

After saying that, Zhou Tieyi took off the Tai Chi Yin-Yang bracelet in his hand and threw it into the air. Then, something came out of the hollow inside of the bracelet, and Tai Chi was born from Wuji. Two huge Yin-Yang fish, one black and one white, were rotating. With each rotation, the bracelet expanded by ten feet. After a while, the palm-sized bracelet turned into a bridge to the sky. The bridge rose from the sky above the Menshen Mountain, like a rainbow after the rain. It did not go through the sky thousands of feet high, nor did it go on the road on earth, but it went between the half clouds and half fog.

Zhou Tieyi reminded him again, "You are going to Tianjing, a total of 4,000 miles away. You don't have to hurry. You should travel in mid-air. First, check the amount of rain and dew in the sky, then check the sowing conditions in the fields, and cover the grain-producing areas on both sides of the upper reaches of the Luo River. Remember the rain and drought conditions, and report them to the Queen of Heaven, so that you can allocate the number of earthly immortals."

At this time, Zhou's mother stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

This time when she went back to the temple to visit her relatives, Zhou's mother met her teachers and old friends. Now that Taiyi Temple is the ancestral temple of the Five Immortals and Taoism is flourishing, she naturally had no worries. What her son Zhou Tieyi had just said was indeed important. After thinking about it, she decided to go there in person.

"As long as my mother is there, I will naturally have nothing to worry about."

Zhou Tieyi answered. Then he saw a golden rainbow falling from the Milky Way, penetrating through the layers of clouds in the sky, flowing upstream along the Luo River, heading towards Tianjing.

The golden rainbow was not high, only a few hundred feet, and even fell on the mountainside when it was low. Ordinary people could see in the rainbow light that was like a bridge, by just looking up and squinting their eyes. There were Taoists wearing high crowns and long sleeves, draped in colorful clouds, like fairies in the clouds, surrounding a female Taoist priest wearing a dress with fish and dragon patterns, surrounded by blooming green lotus flowers and accompanied by babies made of pink jade. It was truly a grand occasion of a group of fairies traveling together.

A cold snort came from the sky above, "You are showing off your magical powers!"

Although Xuandu Mountain is a stubborn old man, he also has his own ethics. For example, the Taoist priests who leave Xuandu Mountain have always issued clear orders that ordinary Taoist priests are not allowed to cast spells in the ordinary market at will.

On the one hand, many young Taoists think that they can save all living beings with magic, and they practice it without regard for the laws of the world, often doing bad things with good intentions. On the other hand, in the previous concept, there is a limit to the amount of wealth in the world, so there is also a limit to the number of practitioners in the world. If you rashly display magic in the world, those who are not naturally resourceful will focus on pursuing magic, and thus waste half their lives.

Beside Taoist Lishan, Li Kegong, the lecturer of the Confucius Institute, said, "When His technique is revealed to the world, who knows how many people will be attracted to it. It seems that He is determined that His method of cultivation will be widely spread in the future."

In the past, the cultivation methods of various schools of thought were strictly controlled. However, ever since the newspapers opened a loophole, these cultivation methods have become increasingly difficult to control. If you control the cultivation methods while other schools of thought spread them widely, your doctrine will ultimately lose its foothold.

"In the end, it just taught some unorthodox people."

Taoist Lishan's eyes were deep, and then he asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "What happened to the people who went to Tianjing? Why did they kill a collection official?"

Even a second-rank Taoist priest named Shouxu cannot predict the hearts of the people in the world.

Li Kegong pondered for a moment, "There are always some people with bad intentions, but the result is good. The library can be opened tonight at the latest."

Taoist Lishan glanced at Li Kegong. Even though he was from the Taoist Xuandu Mountain, he had only heard of the historian's library but had never seen it with his own eyes.

In the cloud layer, after Zhou Tieyi sent out more than a hundred candidates for earthly immortals, he passed the information to his subordinates, or more precisely, to the gods under his command, through the Great Illusionary Dimension that he controlled, and said, "Do your own thing."

He looked in the direction of Yujing Mountain. After so many attempts, if he did not fight back now that he was fully prepared and gave in, not only would Tianjing's base be lost, but the people below would also be worried and afraid. Since the people below wanted to show their skills, he could just see if his men were capable of being used. As a God Lord or a Taoist Lord, the only thing he needed to do was to block the pressure from above. If he still failed at that time, it would mean that the people below were not capable enough and they should stop thinking too much.

Zhou Tieyi's orders were transmitted to each of the illusory faces.

The first person to receive the news was Hao Ren, the manager of the Railway Chamber of Commerce. He stopped writing and looked up at the automatic clock beside him. It was almost noon now, so he rubbed his nose and made a slightly tired expression, "It's almost noon, everyone should go eat."

When the subordinates heard this, they felt a little surprised. You know, Manager Hao has always been known for his hard work and forgetting to eat and sleep. Most of the time, he needs to be reminded by his subordinates. It’s okay for you to not eat, but we have to eat. Why did you take the initiative to suggest lunch today?
Of course, the people below would not object or ask about such a good thing. They all stood up and packed up their things, preparing to finish lunch before talking about it.

The henchman came forward and said, "Sir, are you going to inspect the cafeteria?"

Today, the Railway Chamber of Commerce is getting bigger and bigger, and its profits are increasing, so naturally, many humanitarian systems have been extended, such as the Chamber of Commerce building a canteen to provide meals for the workers.

The Railway Chamber of Commerce, which includes new steel mills, machinery manufacturing plants, and clerical staff, now has more than 8,000 employees in the factory area alone, making it a veritable giant. Employee meals are also considered an important criterion because this was a requirement put forward by Zhou Tieyi during his last inspection.

However, this time the confidant obviously did not guess Hao Ren's intention correctly. Hao Ren glanced at him and said, "I will just rest here for a while."

After saying this, he fell asleep on the desk.

The confidant thought about it and felt that Hao Ren might be really tired. After all, even a strong man would get tired after taking care of such a big thing. So he carefully took out a wool blanket, covered Hao Ren with it, and then left.

Hao Ren's spirit, who was dozing off, passed through the portal of the illusory surface and entered a magnificent temple.

Although the Taixu Illusion Masks distributed to Zhou Tieyi's subordinates were composed of the mirage of the Taixu Illusion Master, all of its authority had been stolen by Zhou Tieyi, so these Taixu Illusion Masks could not only enter the Taixu Illusion Realm, the divine court, but also enter the Taihang Mountains, the divine court.

Today, as the rules of the underworld are perfected one by one in the Taihang Mountain Divine Court and the fire of humanity is gathered, it also has the power to connect the world with the help of the Taiyi Jade Disc.

At this time, Shen Tu Yuan had already arrived in the Divine Court. As one of Zhou Tieyi's confidants, he was also granted the nominal godhood provided by the Taiyi Jade Disc. However, the power of the godhood obtained by Shen Tu Yuan was mainly for war. He was a subordinate god of Kui Shen and was not as lucky as Hao Ren, who was in charge of the Yanhuang Tongbao.

Seeing Shen Tuyuan, Hao Ren subconsciously said, "You are too reckless in this matter."

As the manager of the Railway Chamber of Commerce, he habitually spoke in a critical tone. He only found out later about the two things Shen Tu Yuan did this morning: one was spreading Zhou Tieyi's holy name among the people, and the second was blocking Tai Academy. Even if he had noticed something wrong, he could not go directly to Shen Tu Yuan.

Shen Tu Yuan snorted coldly, "I don't remember when I was going to report this to you, Manager Hao."

Hao Ren and Shen Tu Yuan, one is the manager of the Railway Chamber of Commerce, and the other is a captain of the God-Slaying Division. Although they are both Zhou Tieyi's old friends, they naturally have their own plans.

From the current strength of the two, it can be seen that the Railway Chamber of Commerce certainly hopes that the world is as stable as possible, and it would be best if it could develop to the point where I am no longer a king, but the people of the world can still have enough food and drink.

But this is not right for subordinates like Zhushensi who were promoted based on their military merits. The more restrained and stable the superiors are, the harder it will be for the subordinates to be promoted. So although they both joined Zhou Tieyi at the same time, their power and status are very different.

"Well, we are all here to serve the master, why do you still want to argue here?"

As Zhou Tieyi's personal guard, Ah Da also performs duties similar to those of the 'Yulin Guard' in the Divine Court, managing the ceremonial guards of the hundreds of gods. Especially now that Zhou Tieyi is not here, he cannot let the two of them quarrel directly in front of the Divine Court, otherwise the other new factions around will laugh at them, the old men of Tianjing.
