Chapter 384 Clearing the Name
"What did you say in there?"

Taoist Pei looked at Bai Yuan, who had regained his human form and walked out of the cave.

He did not spy on the conversation in the cave. Although the Qilin monster was of average strength, it might be able to detect his investigation. However, he also heard the Qilin monster's earth-shaking roar.

Bai Yuan coughed lightly: "It's just a little chicken blood."

"Chicken blood?"

Pei Laodao was even more confused.

Bai Yuan didn't intend to continue to dwell on the chicken blood: "Master, I want to know more about the origin of this monster. It doesn't seem to be suppressed by Zhang Tianshi."

Pei Laodao frowned slightly.

His knowledge of the great monsters in the forbidden area at the back mountain also came from the records within the Dragon and Tiger Sect. Most of these records had been preserved for tens of thousands of years, so it was very likely that there were errors.

Since Bai Yuan said so, there is an 80% chance that there are errors in the records about this Qilin monster. After all, the forbidden area of ​​the Dragon and Tiger Sect has existed for ten thousand years, and mistakes are common.

Bai Yuan: "The Qilin monster said that it was suppressed here by a powerful human. It is waiting for another human from the future. I guess that person should be the demon."

Taoist Pei narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn't expect that the origin of the Qilin in the back mountain was so extraordinary.

Bai Yuan: "I'll trouble you to pay more attention to what's going on here, Taoist Priest. I've already discussed with the big demon that it will give a warning once the demon species appears."

"it is good!"

Master Pei agreed immediately.

"I will ask my disciples to look up the classics again. Maybe there is a record of it."

Three days passed quickly.

Emperor Li Chengyuan has finished his fast.

If it were a mortal, fasting for three days would have made him dizzy with hunger, but Li Chengyuan, in addition to being an emperor, was also the Grand Master of Mingxin, so not eating for three days had no effect on him, and he even felt more energetic.

Now that the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony was completely completed, there was no need for him to continue staying in the Dragon and Tiger Sect.

He immediately prepared to return to the capital with Xuanyang and a group of officials.

As an emperor, Li Chengyuan was actually generally good.

He knew very well that any travel would be a huge waste of money and time, so during his hundreds of years on the throne, he actually seldom left the capital.

So I was in a good mood on this trip.

When the imperial court returned to the capital, Bai Yuan naturally had to go along.

Just when he was about to say goodbye to Pei Laodao, Pei Laodao approached him first.

There was a hint of excitement in Pei Laodao's eyes.

In his hand he held a tattered ancient book.

"Donor Bai, what you said is true. The Kirin monster was suppressed by the ancestor, which is a misunderstanding of later generations."

"According to this historical record, this monster was already in the back mountain before our ancestor founded the sect here."

"The ancestor discovered the existence of this monster and felt something, so he designated the back mountain as a forbidden area."

Sure enough!

Bai Yuan had long guessed that the existence of the Divine Mansion should be earlier than that of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, and now it has been confirmed.

But this shocked him even more.

The Dragon and Tiger Sect is a super sect that has been established for ten thousand years. Even when it was first established, humans were not the masters of this world.

But that mysterious strong man could knock out the Qilin monster with just one hand.

It is really strange that there is no record of such a terrible person in history.

Pei Lao said: "I will pay attention to the matter in the back mountain."

He now believes what Bai Yuan said.

Bai Yuan nodded: "Thank you, Taoist Priest."

His guess was confirmed, and Bai Yuan contentedly followed the officials of the Xuanyang court back to Jiangzhou City, and then took a huge ship north to return to Beijing.

The wind was favorable when coming, but it was against the wind when going back. The governor of Jiangzhou had prepared tens of millions of civilians to pull the boats, but Li Chengyuan refused on the grounds that it would be a waste of money and manpower.

Such a great opportunity to perform was lost.

Because there was no one to pull the boat, the huge ship moved very slowly, even slower than a land vehicle.

The ship sailed for ten days before finally returning to the capital.

As to whether the emperor wanted to take this opportunity to stay longer outside the capital, no one knew.

Always, Emperor Li Chengyuan was in a good mood.

He even gave the accompanying officials three days off, which was extremely rare for this emperor who was always diligent and strict.

The day after Bai Yuan returned to the capital, he went back to the Censorate.

It’s good to be the chief officer.

For others, going to work is like being in prison, but Bai Yuan doesn't have these worries.

The memorial of Zhang Yushi's retirement and return to his hometown has been delivered to the emperor's desk, waiting to be announced at the court meeting.

Bai Yuan is already the chief of the Censorate in name and in reality. No one can control him in this small area of ​​the Censorate.

The date of the court meeting has arrived.

Lord Zhang, the Right Censor-in-Chief, requested to retire and return to his hometown. Although Emperor Li Chengyuan was reluctant, he finally followed the old censor's advice. At the same time, he gave Lord Zhang a golden plaque with the four characters "Qingzheng Haoran" written on it.

It can also be regarded as an encouragement to Censor Zhang for his hundred years of hard work for the court.

For a time, the positions of Chief Censor in the Censorate were vacant.

However, Emperor Li Chengyuan kept silent about the selection of the new capital censor.

Naturally, the Ministry of Personnel had no right to interfere with second-rank officials, and the positions of the two chief officials of the Censorate were thus left idle.

Bai Yuan lived a leisurely life again.

He practiced martial arts in the dark prison of the Censorate during the day and practiced sparring with Qiaojie at night. His life was very happy.

The progress of Dantian Breathing Method is also advancing by leaps and bounds.

In just two months, the Dantian Breathing Method was advanced to the mastery level.

Dantian breathing method is a unique Taoist skill.

This method is not a martial art, but an internal skill, a superior breathing method.

After practicing this breathing method, your endurance will become extremely terrifying, and you will hardly need to sleep, or you can say that you are practicing even while sleeping.

However, this method requires extremely high comprehension from the practitioner, and therefore it is a must-learn technique for the top talents in Taoism.

I heard that the genius that the Dragon and Tiger Sect snatched away from Yan Shaoan was the master of the Dantian Breathing Method.

It’s a pity that when Bai Yuan went to the Dragon and Tiger Sect, the first true disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Sect was not in the mountain, otherwise he could have fought with him.

The Censorate was thriving.

Of course, this was achieved at the cost of the anxiety of all officials in the capital.

The people in the Censorate’s black jail were replaced batch after batch, the most frequent change in hundreds of years.

Bai Yuan certainly did not arrest people wantonly. In fact, the arrest list was very carefully considered, and the main target was those officials whom the emperor disliked but was difficult to take action against.

For these people, taking action is naturally a burden-free process.

Emperor Li Chengyuan wanted to unify the world, so the first thing he had to do was to eliminate those officials who were secretly colluding with the major sects.

Bai Yuan, the imperial censor who was devoted to the pursuit of martial arts, became Li Chengyuan's best sword.

The reinforcement points naturally soared as well.

Before he knew it, the Dantian Breathing Method was upgraded to the legendary level.

The strings of large gilded characters jumping on the panel gradually convey the meaning of strength.

Bai Yuan looked at the panel, feeling extremely excited.

Because after the Dantian Breathing Method was promoted to the legendary level and integrated into the Divine Palace in the abdomen, the second level of his Divine Palace Skill could be completed.

The strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds!
