Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 181: Heavenly Decree
No one could resist the charm of the 'Chivalrous Alliance Character Cards', so Zhao Yifu was forced to act as an artist and drew the 'character cards' of the twenty-three members of the current 'Chivalrous Alliance'.

To this end, everyone even took out their private stashes to gather a bunch of special metals, and then worked together to refine them into some metal cards that looked like gold but were not.

These cards have no other special functions, they are just hard.

However, Zhao Yifu painted on such cards... This undoubtedly violated the aesthetics of Danqingmen.

But how could he care?
As an unfilial son of the Danqing Sect who has always taken the "customized" route, he loves to violate the aesthetics of the Danqing Sect.

So one exquisite card after another was drawn, and he also specially left a "letter seal" on it.

Everyone had no objection to this, because "faith and loyalty" are the same thing. Zhao Yifu's leaving the word "faith" on each "card" actually adds color to these "chivalrous cards".

Anyway, everyone couldn't let it go, and it attracted a stream of positive energy and spiritual energy to water the seal. Zhao Yifu was also in a good mood and felt that he had done the right thing.

He found that the yang and spiritual energy provided by these people were almost the amount of two to three fathers. Although not as large as the amount provided by the great pen pals who had thousands of fathers, the total amount should not be underestimated.

In particular, everyone obviously likes this character card very much. When they have nothing to do, they will play with it carefully, and the positive energy and spiritual energy are naturally endless.

This was like opening up a new world for Zhao Yifu.

Sure enough, the same skills did not receive much recognition in the Danqing School. Only by finding channels and blending in with these people who did not like to read and practice calligraphy could one achieve great results.

Zhao Yifu now particularly likes this organization.

He thought about what he needed now... and maxed out his alchemy talent.

In fact, the so-called talent is more like an accumulation of understanding of various medicinal properties.

This was also the reason why he was able to make elixirs with his hands before... He had already accumulated a lot of talent in alchemy.

After getting the 'Chivalrous Alliance Character Card', this group of energetic young people finally couldn't hold back any longer and went down the mountain to do justice.

They gave themselves the titles they liked and were just trying to make a name for themselves.

So for Tianyuan Prefecture, it welcomed a group of "lunatics".

These were a bunch of bastards who would even separate two dogs stacked on top of each other to see if they were 'taking women by force'. The result was chaos in Tianyuan Prefecture... It wasn't miserable, but there was always a feeling of being both amused and helpless.

The newly formed 'Chivalrous Alliance' quickly gained a reputation, and became infamous even faster.

Of course, Zhao Yifu was not interested in the reputation of this "Chivalrous League" at all. After all, the leader of the Chivalrous League was Chou Gongzi, so what did he have to do with the Crazy Confucian Sect Ghost Seeing Sorrow? Taking a step back, what did this Crazy Confucian Sect Ghost Seeing Sorrow have to do with him, the Ghost Messenger Ghost Seeing Sorrow? And he had even less to do with Fu Yinzi of the Danqing Sect.
If that doesn't work, you can take a step back. What is the relationship between Danqingmen Fu Yinzi and the second young master of Shenhe Villa?
Zhao Yifu covered himself with layer after layer of skin, and with each layer he covered himself with, his behavior became more unscrupulous.

Even if he retreated to the end, he could just be a man named Zhao Yi Fu.

This is the Zhao Yifu that Liang Zhongzhi did not discover. The innermost Zhao Yifu is actually a lonely and indifferent ghost existing in this world.

He disguised himself very well and never did anything wrong. In fact, as he put on layer after layer of skin, his disguise became better and better, and fewer people suspected him.

Another day passed, and Zhao Yifu's heart moved, and he looked down...

But I saw a wild flower quietly blooming at my feet, and a voice came from the flower: "There is news."

Zhao Yi Fu suddenly realized, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his Yin Spirit left his body and flew away.

In just a moment, he arrived at Fenglin County City God Temple.

It turned out that the wild flower blooming at his feet was actually the communication spell of Taoist Bai Na.

Zhao Yifu asked expectantly, "Brother Baina, what news have you received from above?"

The monk Bai Na said awkwardly, "The Emperor of Heaven only replied: 'Read'."

"What does it mean?"

Zhao Yifu nodded and said, "That's enough. Just wait."

He didn't even need to ask the Sect Leader for permission. Since the Heavenly Emperor had approved the matter with the word "read", it meant that He already knew about it and he just had to wait for His next instruction.

This is good news, which means that things can progress and at least we don’t have to waste time staying on Difei Mountain.

Of course, he did not forget his identity as the magistrate of Fenglin County, and he also took the opportunity to practice his ability to appear in front of others. He simply had a sudden idea to use illusion to outline himself and then went to the court to handle official business.

His sudden appearance startled the officials and county magistrates in the office, but fortunately they knew that their county magistrate was an extraordinary person and it was normal for him to appear and disappear mysteriously.

Li Liang quickly adjusted his attitude and clasped his fists, saying, "Disciple Li Liang greets the County Lord. I wonder if the County Lord has any guidance?"

Zhao Yifu smiled and nodded, "Nothing, just came to see you guys."

However, as soon as these words were spoken, the voice became strange.

Because Zhao Yi Fu himself is a Yin God body at this time, he can communicate with cultivators through spiritual communication, but now he has to vibrate the air to communicate with mortals.

This is a flaw that he has not yet mastered.

But this only requires practice, and it will be useful if you practice well.

"Who are you anyway?"

Li Liang was very nervous, thinking that a monster was impersonating his county magistrate.

Zhao Yifu laughed and said, "It's okay, it's me, it's just a little inconvenient right now."

After adjusting himself again, his voice finally returned to normal.

He said, "Now if you have anything to say, you can leave a letter in the City God Temple, and someone will naturally deliver the letter to me as quickly as possible."

Li Liang relaxed a little after hearing this. This mysterious and powerful man was indeed Zhao Yifu.

But seeing that the man was about to leave again after saying just one word, he quickly said, "Please stay, my lord!"

Zhao Yifu, already feeling bored, was about to leave, but could only stop and ask, "What else?"

He didn't turn around, but his voice echoed throughout the venue, as if coming from all directions.

Li Liang was secretly shocked, thinking that this gentleman must have made great progress in practicing Qi... It was very popular among the nobles of the current dynasty, which made Li Liang wonder if he should also learn it in order to integrate into the upper circle?

He said, "My Lord, everything is fine now, but the number of refugees is still increasing. Fortunately, we have the yellow book left by you, so management is relatively easy. However, if we continue to resettle so many refugees, I'm afraid there will be a deficit..."

Zhao Yifu said, "It's a small matter. If there's a deficit, you can just ask the big families for some money. Even the big families would have trouble getting it... Well, why don't I submit a petition to the court requesting tax exemption?"

It is said lightly, but its content is full of hidden dangers.

Li Liang was greatly amazed and wondered how powerful this county magistrate was.
Just then, someone walked quickly to the door.

Zhao Yifu looked over and saw that it was Yang Zaixuan.

"Master, you are back. I miss you so much."

Zhao Yifu immediately showed a gentle expression and said, "How are you? Are you getting used to Fenglin County?" Yang Zaixuan said, "Everything is good here, but it's a bit too boring. I don't know when I can make a name for myself."

Zhao Yifu understood Yang Zaixuan's thoughts. To be honest, this man was also unwilling to be lonely, otherwise he would not have followed him back then.

However, he would not blame her for this, but only comforted her: "Be patient, the imperial court will launch a northern expedition, and the Liao Kingdom will also invade the south. You will have a chance to use your skills next."

Yang Zaixuan asked in surprise, "Really?"

But then he became discouraged and said, "Even if there is a war, it will be in the border area. I don't know when I will get a chance to fight."

Zhao Yifu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will be going to the border areas during my next term. You will have plenty of opportunities to make achievements then."

This was a real surprise for Yang Zaixuan.

Li Liang was horrified.

How could he have imagined that Zhao Yi Fu had already decided where to go for his next term?
Could it be that this imperial court is run by his family?
He was already certain that Zhao Yifu must be supported by a big shot in the court, and this big shot must belong to the Ministry of Personnel.

Only with the support of the senior officials in the Ministry of Personnel can the position for the next term be given so clearly.

Well, how should I put it, he guessed right.

Zhao Yifu briefly learned about the situation in Fenglin County before turning around and walking out the door in a casual manner.

Yang Zaixuan hurried out to chase him, but there was no trace of Zhao Yifu. It was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

Of course, they thought that Guimei would not accept the imperial edict to become a county magistrate. They all thought that Zhao Yifu should be a peerless master in the world.

……

The reaction of Heaven was faster than Zhao Yifu had imagined. He admitted that he was looking forward to how Heaven would react to this matter in the mortal world, but he did not expect such a swift and fierce reaction.

Before Zhao Yifu received any feedback from Taoist Bai Na, he had already received the decree from the underworld through the 'Order of the Underworld Messenger'.

[All ghost messengers are granted divine authority to immediately clear out the souls lingering in the mortal world.]

However, the Way of Heaven honors benevolence. The souls of the virtuous or innocent deceased can remain in the human world and enjoy three generations of sacrifices. After the three generations are completed, they will return to the underworld.

Zhao Yifu smiled helplessly upon seeing this, and then a look of complacency appeared in his eyes.

Yes, this decree was equivalent to digging up the foundation of the Northern Dynasty’s rule over the scholar class!
Even the shamanic inspiration sect that the Northern Dynasty relied on might become the target of encirclement and suppression by the ghost messengers of the underworld. They were naturally hostile to each other.

Under such circumstances, the originally balanced relationship probably forced the Liao Kingdom of the Northern Dynasty to take the lead in responding.

This is the current situation. The river is a natural barrier. Any party that wants to launch an attack first will have to face various defenses deployed by both sides on both sides of the Xiangshui River.

The party that strikes first may seem to have gained the upper hand tactically, but in fact it is at a strategic disadvantage.

Zhao Yifu pondered in his mind, and then sent a message to the master through telepathy. He believed that the master would understand what to do after knowing this.

The only concern is probably the governor of southwest Beijing. It is really worrying that this person is staying in the southwest Beijing province.

But these matters will naturally be handled by the big guys, and Zhao Yifu now only needs to consider the matters here at the Three Veins Conference.

...Another half a month passed, and first the Yangling Sword Sect from the Western Region arrived.

Long rainbows streaked across the sky, and handsome swordsmen came flying from the west on their swords, looking so dashing.

Zhao Yifu looked at this scene with envy. Why didn’t his family have such a cool way of traveling?
"Yangling Sword Sect? As expected of one of the most famous sword sects in the world, this is quite impressive."

Beside Zhao Yifu, a member of the 'Chivalrous Alliance' said sourly.

Another person said, "What's the big deal? It's just flying on a sword. We can do it."

Someone else said, "What do we have? Who has such sword skills?"

One person chuckled, "Actually, all we need to do is be handsome enough. If that doesn't work, can't we just figure it out on our own?"

This is a good idea, and it opens everyone's mind.

Yes, they just need to be handsome enough, everything else is fake!

Thus, the new topic for the next stage of the "Chivalrous Alliance" came out, which was to study together how to create a sword-wielding method that only required being handsome.

This is a really exciting idea, and every member of the 'Chivalrous Alliance' is very interested in it.

So they no longer took the arrival of Yangling Sword Sect seriously, and a group of people began to rack their brains to come up with some cool tricks.

To be honest, Zhao Yifu was a little shocked by the creativity of these second-generation dogs from the "Chivalrous Alliance".

Flying on a sword is the first step that anyone can take.

Normally, what a sword sect would do is to fly fast and fiercely on the sword... But this group of people don't want to be fast or fierce, they just want to be fancy!

So it no longer matters what they are flying on; the key is what kind of special effects are created under their feet.

Zhao Yifu tried to fly up on the sword, then covered the sword with an ice storm, making it look like he was standing on a crystal clear ice cloud, and then snowflakes fell...

But it doesn't even get any credit because someone could have done it better.

Some people feel like they are stepping on a ball of thunder, while others feel like they are riding on the gorgeous aurora.

Someone simply got a very big sword, then flew leisurely on the sword, and pretended to be drinking heavily... Of course, in order to prevent the buttocks from being cut, the sword was not sharpened.

There are also people whose swords are like the long feathers of a solitary wild goose, and the people on them appear to be transcendent and otherworldly.

What's abominable is that after creating these flashy sword-controlling techniques, these people just flew out to "do justice." It's truly shameful...

Finally, Hui Gu couldn't bear to watch any more, so she warned, "Then the Yangling Sword Sect is here. Should we go and say hello? We can leave the Wanshou Sect alone, but it wouldn't be a good idea to leave the Yangling Sword Sect alone as well."

Zhao Yifu thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "The Yangling Sword Sect is nothing special. Due to inheritance issues, it has always been on the edge of the core circle of the Pure Yang Sect. This can actually be seen from its geographical location."

"Compared to that, if the Pure Yang Sword Sect came, it would be different."

"Back then, the disciples of the Pure Yang Sword Sect risked their lives to protect the Danqing Sect. This was a great favor that I will never forget."

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a message from Liang Zhongzhi: [Come quickly and meet me at Baili!]

Zhao Yifu smiled after hearing this, and then said to Huigu, "Let's go and meet the Pure Yang Sword Sect together."

Huigu also nodded seriously.

As the successor of Zhenyi Dao, her relationship with Chunyang Sword Sect is actually closer than that with Danqing Sect.
