Martial Arts: I am in the Ming Cult and I am building a dynasty

Watching Xie Guanying kneel down neatly.

Yang Zhao just nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand to let him stand up, and said: "Master Xie, do you see the traces of my luck and destiny now?"

The true spirit is captured and their fates are linked.

At this moment, Xie Guanying could naturally see the spiritual glow and destiny emanating from Yang Zhao. He was like a sun god that had been shining eternally in the endless universe. Just one glance at him almost blinded Xie Guanying's eyes, and he burst into tears, unable to stop.

Yang Zhao smiled and said, "Master Xie, why did you make yourself cry?"

Xie Guanying: "Reporting to the master, I am astonished by the infinite brilliance of the master's majestic and heroic spirit. I am so moved."

Yang Zhao nodded and said, "That's good. If you like it, just look at it more."

Xie Guanying: “…”.

Chapter 252 The terrifying influence of Shangyin Academy

Yang Zhao did not feel the slightest bit of guilt for forcing Xie Guanying to be his slave.

Because after conquering Xie Guanying, the more Yang Zhao got to know Xie Guanying, the more he felt that this guy was a damn bastard.

In the North, everyone knows that Xie Guanying has been outstanding and extraordinary since he was young.

But in reality, few people know it.

In fact, when Xie Guanying was young, he was weak and had poor bones, and he couldn't even find the most basic sense of qi.

However, Xie Guanying was extremely smart since he was young, and seemed to have innate wisdom.

After Xie Guanying found it difficult to practice, he used some wisdom that flashed through his mind from time to time and the books in the Xie family's collection to search and summarize a technique to seize fortune.

Relying on this technique of stealing luck, Xie Guanying swallowed up the luck of countless people and improved his own qualifications.

But even so, Xie Guanying's speed of cultivation is extremely touching.

When martial arts was completely blocked, Xie Guanying used the art of Feng Shui to snatch a piece of inspiration from a treasured land and fostered a righteous spirit in his body.

With this sense of righteousness as his foundation, Xie Guanying embarked on the path of Confucian martial arts.

Different from Buddhism, Taoism, magic, and pure martial arts.

Confucian martial arts have almost no requirements for aptitude, nature, etc. As long as the mind, body and behavior are right, there will be no hindrance in practice. The more you read through hundreds of schools of thought and gain knowledge, the faster you will practice.

Xie Guanying was unable to have a righteous heart, body, and conduct, but he had the righteous energy plundered from heaven and earth as his foundation, and the books in the Xie family and the Shangyin Academy, and he was able to quickly cultivate to the peak level of a grandmaster despite his small body.

Later, Xie Guanying took advantage of the dynasty's luck and broke through to the realm of heaven and man.

After the death of the previous emperor and the failure of Xie Guanying's attempt to help the Eighth Prince in his bid for the throne, he no longer had the help of the dynasty's fortune and began to plan for the fortune of his first wife to use it to break into the realm of Martial Saint.

It can be said that Xie Guanying’s cultivation growth is a naked history of plunder.

But even so, Yang Zhao had to admit that although Xie Guanying was a villain, he was indeed a talent. No, he was a cunning and treacherous talent.

There are so many evil and crooked things going on among them.

Yang Zhao didn't care about this. Anyway, Yang Zhao never thought of himself as a good person.

Collecting and plundering luck is not a deadly thing as long as it is not excessive.

After learning about Xie Guanying, this eccentric talent.

Yang Zhao quickly focused his attention on the information about Shangyin Academy in the Xie family, and more importantly, on the information about Zhang Fuyao, the saint of the Zhang family.

See the records of the Xie family.

Yang Zhaocai discovered that the Shangyin Academy was much more terrifying than he had imagined.

It's not the kind of terror that comes from military force, but the enormous network of personal connections that Shangyin Academy has built over the past thousand years.

The ancestors of the thirteen wealthy families in the Northern Territory were all disciples of the Shangyin Academy.

In addition to the base camp in the north, almost every place in the fifty-four prefectures within the entire Song Dynasty has students from the Shangyin Academy.

Even Song Dynasty's founding emperor Zhao Kuangyin studied in Shangyin Academy when he was young.

There have been 17 emperors in the Song Dynasty so far, and they have employed more than a hundred prime ministers. At least half of them can be considered students of Shangyin Academy.

It would be fine if it was just dealing with Zhang Fuyao in Shangyin Academy.

If Yang Zhao and Zhao Shirong wanted to completely wipe out the Shangyin Academy, then at least 30% of the scholars in the entire Song Dynasty would become enemies of the Song Dynasty.

This level of influence is enough to shake the foundation of the Song Dynasty.

The idea of ​​completely eradicating Shangyin Academy was quickly eliminated by Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao was silent for a moment, then asked Xie Guanying, "Master Xie, how many people in Shangyin Academy have defected to Beiliang?"

Xie Guanying looked embarrassed and said, "Master, this question is really hard to answer."

Yang Zhao raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xie Guanying.

Xie Guanying had a painful expression on his face, and said, "Shangyin Academy is located in the northern border, and the northern border is adjacent to Beiliang. Master, you also know what the court was like in the past few years. The northern foreign races invaded from time to time, and the court just avoided them, which led to a great loss of public support in the northern border."

"On the contrary, Xu Xiao from Beiliang knows how to win people's hearts. He flirted with the Beimang tribe under the command of the Mongols. It was said that the fight was lively, but in fact, neither side suffered much loss. However, because of this, the people in the northern border have a very good impression of him."

"Three out of ten students in Shangyin Academy should be inclined towards Beiliang, especially the Saint of Zhang Family, whose cultivation has reached an unknown level. After he openly sided with Beiliang, I am afraid that in Shangyin Academy..."

Xie Guanying didn't finish his words, but Yang Zhao could already imagine the situation in Shangyin Academy.

There is no doubt that for the court headed by Yang Zhao, Zhao Shirong and others.

This is the most unfavorable situation.

Xu Xiao of Beiliang has been dormant for more than 20 years, and his infiltration into the Song Dynasty, especially in the northern border, has reached an extremely terrifying level.

The most important person to curb the deterioration and spread of this situation is the Saint of the Zhang family.

According to rumors, the Zhang family saint was a person from the late Zhou Dynasty, known as the first Confucian saint of Shangyin Academy, and he had been in charge of Shangyin Academy for more than 800 years.

The average lifespan of a Martial Saint is only 500 years.

Although it is unknown why the Zhang family saint has not yet reached the level of immortals on earth, there is no doubt that the Zhang family saint is definitely one of the most outstanding few among the ranks of martial saints.

Yang Zhao even highly suspected that the Zhang family saint might be able to break into the realm of terrestrial immortals at any time.

In this case, it would be difficult to restrain the other party just by relying on the Conferred God Plan.

After much deliberation, Yang Zhao decided to go to Shangyin Academy in person to meet the saint of the Zhang family.

At the very least, Yang Zhao wanted to know why the saint of the Zhang family openly chose to go to Beiliang.

Only in this way can we prescribe the right medicine.

Faced with this terrifying Confucian sage who is several times more powerful than him, Yang Zhao did not want to deal with it in the most extreme way unless it was absolutely necessary. That would cause great obstacles to the Song Dynasty revival plan of Yang Zhao, Zhao Shirong and others.

A Confucian martial saint who lived for eight hundred years.

Yang Zhao believed that if there were no special circumstances, the other party would never be so unwise as to stand on the side of Beiliang when they knew that the other party would cause chaos in the world and start a rebellion.

Cultivate oneself, manage one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world.

Ordinary Confucian scholars might follow Beiliang in rebellion for fame, fortune and other things.

But someone like Zhang Fuyao would never do that.

Chapter 253: The Temple of the Nation

A night passed by quietly, as smooth as flowing water.

Nangong Pushe didn't know yet that it only took him half the night to bring Yang Zhao back to the family, and even his own father became Yang Zhao's slave.

Of course, considering Nangong Pushe's feelings for Xie Guanying, it wouldn't matter if he knew about it.

In the next two days.

Yang Zhao handed over most of the matters in the Conferred God Plan to Xie Guanying, asking him to use the Xie family's influence in the northern border to begin promoting the incense and faith in the temple of the national god.

Yang Zhao himself, under the leadership of Nangong Pushe, wandered around the entire Yecheng like a playboy.

And during these three days.

Yang Zhao also learned through the jade sound transmission talisman that even though the Beiliang envoy suffered a setback in Bian Jing, the Beiliang prince eventually walked out of Beiliang. Just yesterday, he stepped out of Beiliang's territory and entered the Song Dynasty.

Like Yang Zhao, the first battle fought by the Prince of Beiliang during his trip to the Song Dynasty was also in Yecheng, in the northern border of the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty court did not want to go to war with Beiliang at this time.

In addition, the older generation of military commanders have not yet recovered.

It has to be said that Beiliang's grasp of the timing was extremely accurate.

At the same time, this also shows that there must be spies from the Northern Liang in the Song Dynasty court, or even in the high-level court. Otherwise, the other party would not be able to set the time so accurately.

Another two days passed.

With Xie Guanying's full support, the Temple of the National God in Yecheng in the northern border quickly became prosperous, and in just five days, it had gathered the first wave of incense and support.

Late at midnight, in Yecheng, at the temple of the national god.

Accompanied by Xie Guanying and Nangong Pushe, father and daughter, Yang Zhao came to the deserted Zhenguo Temple.

The location where the Zhenguo Temple was built is the core of the land veins in the northern border of the Song Dynasty.

The genuine virtue of the earth is to carry the world and is the best way to nourish people.

Normally, the place where these core veins converge is the most prosperous area in a region. However, if there is troubled times, the place where these core veins converge can easily condense spiritual energy and give birth to human dragons and snakes.

During these few days.

Yang Zhao traveled around Yecheng, observing the mountains in all directions and observing the water veins around him.

With the help of Dragon Spirit and systematic deduction, a method to open up the Dragon Court in the Yin World in the northern border has been deduced.

The most difficult part in opening up the Yin World Dragon Court is to condense the Yin Dragon and open up the cave heaven.

As for the two most difficult things, Zhao Kuangyin had already accidentally laid the foundation for them two hundred years ago, helping his descendants and Yang Zhao to succeed in future generations.

In the national temple, Yang Zhao quickly summoned out the Huangji Zhenshi Bell.

Along with the strange sound of bells that continuously echoed throughout the temple, a dragon spirit that was invisible to the naked eye was swimming slowly in the passage paved by Yang Zhao with endless true energy.

It is the same process as how Yang Zhao refined the Yin Dragon Vein in the Imperial Mausoleum Cave.

If one wants to open up a dragon court of the same origin as the Yin World in this northern territory, one must first use special methods to create a passage in the core of the northern territory's earth veins that allows the Yin Dragon to roam, and then use the Yin energy of the dragon spirit to infect the entire earth veins.

It took Yang Zhao several months to refine the Yin Dragon Vein.

But it only takes a moment for the dragon spirit to infect the earth veins.

The dragon spirit is the essence of the creation of heaven and earth, and is naturally compatible with all ownerless land veins.

After Yang Zhao used his true energy to construct a passage for the dragon spirit to roam in the surrounding void and deep in the earth veins, the dragon spirit entered the ground, and soon a strong and cool air diffused from the ground.

It's not the kind of cold nights and severe winter weather, but a kind of chill that makes one's soul tremble.

In fact, this kind of coldness is what is called Yin Qi.

Only when this dark aura infects the entire core of the earth veins can a dragon court in the underworld be opened up. Otherwise, even if a true immortal comes down to earth and opens up a cave with supreme power, it will at most be a blessed place that is more suitable for cultivation and cannot communicate with the underworld.

Yang Zhao stood in the center of the national defense temple, with the Huangji Zhenshi Bell suspended in the air, emitting a five-colored halo.

It was just a short moment.

The dragon spirit had already followed the Zhengang channel and surrounding markings opened up by Yang Zhao, and with the help of its own Yin and Ming energy, in the core where the earth veins of the entire northern border converged, it had condensed a source of Yin evil with the help of the earth veins.

This is Long Ling's natural instinct. After condensing the source of Yin Sha, he was able to manifest the body of a Yin Dragon in the national temple, and was happily roaming around Yang Zhao.

After sensing the source of the evil spirit condensing.

Yang Zhao used the power of his soul to calm Long Ling, and then looked at Xie Guanying and Nangong Pushe, father and daughter, who were in a daze behind him.

Xie Guanying was already Yang Zhao's servant. When Yang Zhao glanced at him, he spoke very respectfully, "Master Zhao, is there anything I can do for you?"

Yang Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, the Martial Saint has the ability to shatter the void. Can Master Xie help?"

Xie Guanying became more respectful and said, "I am willing to serve you, sir, and I am willing to serve the Song Dynasty."

Yang Zhao nodded and said, "Very good. You follow the marks made by me. There are 64 main veins in the North, and they intersect with the eight veins. I will reverse the nodes according to the method of Bagua. You need to make a total of 72 moves. Prepare the elixir to replenish it. When I speak, you can make moves in order."

Xie Guanying nodded in agreement with a serious face, and a hint of excitement on his face.

A few days ago, Xie Guanying was careless and had his true soul robbed by Yang Zhaoqiang, and became someone else's slave.

Originally, Xie Guanying had to cooperate with Yang Zhao just to save his life, pretending to be a snake, always ready to find a way to escape from Yang Zhao's clutches.
