In the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Xia Palace, Li Si looked at the secret note sent by the guards, his face was calm, but there was a strange light in his eyes.
On this secret note, there are all the recent living conditions in various parts of Daxia.
Ever since Qin Wuhen promulgated the edict of banning martial arts, the whole Great Xia has been boiling.
Daxia originally established the country with martial arts, especially after condensing the golden dragon of luck, it has increased a lot of monks who have entered the Tao.
Up to now, more than 80% of the people in the court are monks. A monk who was originally stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul and the Peak of Transforming God has broken through one after another.
Not only the imperial court, but among the great families and sects of the Great Xia, a strong man who returned to the Void emerged like a new bamboo shoot after the rain. In just a few months, even a strong man in the Dao realm had broken through.
According to Jin Yiwei's statistics, in the five prefectures today, there are more than ten strong people in the Hedao state alone, and there are as many as hundreds of strong people in the Void Returning state!
You must know that in the original Cangzhou Six Dynasties, the state of transforming gods was already considered a strong person, as for the state of returning to the void, they were already considered to be the existence of the background, let alone the strong person in the state of harmony!
Under such circumstances, how could it be so easy for Da Xia to ban martial arts!
Due to the power of Daxia, it is extremely difficult for those forces in the Jianghu to make them surrender to Daxia on the surface and obey the imperial order. But now Daxia wants to intervene in their rivers and lakes battles, and they are not even allowed to use force. How can I ask them? How can it be accepted?
In just a few days, there were no less than a hundred fighting incidents in Daxia.
With the existence of Jinyiwei and Eight Gates, and the assistance of the six major legions, there was no major riot.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
However, what really troubled Li Si and the others was a new legion that emerged recently, the zombie legion!
That's right, it is the zombie army led by the general!
This legion is really terrifying!
In the past few days, those monks or aristocratic sects in the Six Mansions of the Great Xia who blatantly violated the imperial decree were killed in the hands of the zombie army in all likelihood, and then turned into members of the zombie army.
In less than ten days, the number of members of the zombie army has exceeded 500,000, and it is still growing at an extremely fast rate!
In the Great Xia at this moment, it can really be said that everyone is in danger, and people in all counties and counties are in panic.
After all, the ability of that zombie is really terrifying!
As long as it is bitten, it will be assimilated into a zombie in just a few breaths.
If you are lucky enough to be bitten by those second-generation or first-generation zombies, you can still retain the memory of your life, but if you are bitten by those low-level zombies, you will become confused, unconscious, and become a monster that only knows how to suck blood.
Simply when those zombies are dispatched, at least one zombie of the second generation or above will lead the command, and there has been no incident of harming innocent people yet.
But what if something unexpected happens?
If these zombies get out of control, it will be a great disaster for Daxia!
Therefore, just the memorials received by the Xia Palace in the past few days have almost filled the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and nine out of ten of them are about this zombie.
?It really made Li Si and Xiao Ping very tired, the Prime Minister's Mansion was short of manpower, Li Si also invited Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui to help deal with it.
"Your Excellency, since the general is the commander of the legion personally appointed by His Majesty, we have no right to intervene, and the general has personally written to promise that there will be no turmoil. Why should we worry?"
With a calm face, Wei Zheng put down the memorial in his hand, looked at Li Si and said, "Speaking of worries, what we should really worry about is the public opinion. This incident of the ban on martial arts caused turmoil among casual cultivators, aristocratic families, and sect disciples across the five prefectures. There are countless, these are hidden dangers left after the implementation of the prefecture and county system, and we have to pay attention to it!"
Hearing this, everyone frowned slightly.
Xiao Ping said: "The imperial examinations will not be held for the time being, but the construction of the Academy is basically in the completion stage now, basically all the counties in the five prefectures already have branches of the Academy. Forming a huge impact, this kind of hidden danger will gradually disappear. However, due to the absence of a mentor, the academy has not opened the school to enroll students for a long time."
"What did Mr. Guigu say?" Li Si asked with a frown.
Du Ruhui said: "I went to Jixia Academy yesterday to inquire. What Mr. Guigu means is that the key to this matter lies in Emperor Yan!"
Emperor Yan?
Xiao Yan?
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"That's right! As long as Emperor Yan refines a batch of elixir first and releases this batch of elixir, it will definitely attract many casual cultivators, even disciples from aristocratic sects!"
Wei Zheng said excitedly: "Emperor Yan has been in seclusion for quite a while, I don't know what's going on, I'll go and see!"
"Let's go together!"
Li Sidao: "It is said that Emperor Yan's way of alchemy is a bit strange. Unlike other alchemists who do not allow others to disturb them, the alchemists who have been brought to Xia Palace these days have been watching Emperor Yan's alchemy, so there is nothing important today. Let's go take a look together."
"Good!"
Everyone smiled and nodded
In the northwest of Xia Palace, in a spacious hall.
Dozens of figures in Taoist robes of various colors gathered in the hall. Most of these people have gray hair, and many of them are even in their seventies, but they are all in good spirits.
At a glance, there are about sixty people.
These sixty people are indeed alchemists gathered from all over the Great Xia!
Whether it was those who originally served the other five dynasties, or some alchemists who practiced casually, all of them have gathered here under the iron and blood methods of the Great Xia court.
The entire Great Xia Dynasty has a population of more than one billion, but there are only a mere sixty or so alchemists. One can imagine how difficult it is to become an alchemist!
These alchemists are not high-level, and the strongest among them are only in the realm of transforming gods, and most of the alchemists they can refine are only low-level pills.
But their status in Daxia is extremely high.
For example, the treatment of the six alchemists who worked for the Xia Palace before was comparable to some offerings in the stage of transforming gods, or even worse!
Even after Qin Wuhen ascended the throne, he never treated them badly, on the contrary, he improved their treatment a lot.
From this we can see how noble the status of an alchemist is!
But at this time, these sixty alchemists looked like elementary school students, all of them looked pious, with excitement in their eyes, nervously watching the scene going on in the center of the hall.
There, there is a huge black and simple alchemy furnace, in which a milky white flame is burning, and in the flame, a colored substance the size of a washbasin is rolling in the flame.
And in front of the alchemy furnace, there were two figures.
One of them was Xiao Yan, who had changed into a moon white gown, sitting on a sandalwood reclining chair, crossing his legs, and leisurely watching the situation in the alchemy furnace.
The other person is a young man with silver horns and silver skin, about twelve or thirteen years old, holding a black cattail fan in his hand, squatting on the ground, fanning the vent of the alchemy furnace with all his strength
