The big dog was puzzled, looked at Fang Jie and asked in a low voice: "Why are you just pretending?"
In front of Shen Qingshan, he was really embarrassed to say that word naturally like Fang Jie. He was just shocked by the power of the red-robed priest of the Dao Sect, and didn't think about anything else at all. But listening to the tone of Fang Jie's words, it was obvious that it was not just the cultivation of the one finger that was surprising.
"In a small scene with hundreds of people, you dare to work for a red-robed priest Master Xiao's second disciple took action. This show is indeed too much."
Fang Jie glanced at Shen Qingshan and was embarrassed to use the word "pretentious".
"Even if this mad cow is not arranged in advance, it is really just an emergency. Does it require a person with a very high status in the Taoist sect to take action personally? The disciple in green who just spoke is only one palm away in terms of strength. It's not that difficult to kill that old cow, right? Even if the red-robed priest wants to take action, can't he hit the cow with just one finger? "
"Yes, why?"
The big dog was stunned by Fang¡¯s explanation and asked almost subconsciously.
"It's just a show."
Fang Jie lowered his voice and said: "Deliberately showing your cultivation, just watch the people will be convinced. After being convinced, they will be grateful."
Sure enough, Fang Jie¡¯s words just fell. The few people who had been rescued were the first to kneel down on the ground, and they couldn't help saying words of thanks. When the Taoist Hexi in red robe saw everyone kneeling, he immediately got up and left the carriage, with a fairy wind. Gu's extraordinary demeanor walked up to everyone and helped them up one by one.
He looked cold and arrogant, but spoke politely and gently. Almost instantly, he conquered the hearts of the people.
"A few hundred people are not many."
Shen Qingshan smiled and said, "But if these hundreds of people spread the news, it won't take long for this matter to spread throughout the imperial capital."
Hearing this sentence, Fang Jie's eyes lit up and he muttered, "I understand."
"Understand what?"
Shen Qingshan and Da Quan asked almost at the same time.
Fang Jie shook his head and did not answer.
Looking at the solemn Taoists in the distance and the noble and polite red-robed priest, he knew that his previous guess that this was just a show by Taoism to expand his reputation was too superficial. Since the emperor of the Sui Dynasty had already established a sect, why did Taoist priests like them have to lower themselves to perform tricks for a group of common people?
The talents of Daozong put on such a show outside the imperial capital, and its purpose was not just to guide the people to believe in Daozong.
It¡¯s for the Sui court and the emperor!
When Fang Jie met Wanyan Liyao on the way, he guessed that the Sui Dynasty would soon launch an attack on the northwest. To raise a knife against the behemoth of the Meng Yuan Empire is not just as simple as purging the court and reorganizing the armaments, nor is it just as simple as the emperor raising his prestige.
Everyone in the world knows that the Mongolian Yuan Empire has the Dalun Temple in the Snow Mountain, and Buddhism was promoted to the pinnacle of power in the world outside the Sui Dynasty. Even if people in the Sui Dynasty did not believe in Buddhism, they would still be wary of this sect that controlled almost all countries outside the Sui Dynasty. According to world legend, Daxue Mountain is the place with the most ninth-grade masters in the world. The three thousand golden-bodied monks and soldiers under the throne of Maharaja of the Buddha Sect are said to be invincible in the world.
These legends are the worries of the people of the Sui Dynasty.
Although both the people of the Sui Dynasty and the officials of the court were confident that the military power of the Sui Dynasty was unparalleled in the world. Even if they challenge the Mongolian and Yuan Empire, which claims to have millions of troops, no one will be intimidated. But the Buddha Sect is different. If the Meng Yuan Empire is a behemoth, then this behemoth is just the tip of the iceberg of the Buddha Sect.
If the Great Sui Dynasty and the Mongolian Yuan Empire went to war, once Buddhist masters intervened in the war, the people of the Great Sui Dynasty and even the courtiers would be afraid.
so¡¡
The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty personally issued an order this time to invite Master Xiao Zhenren from Qingle Mountain to the Chang'an Martial Arts Academy to observe the ceremony. How could it be as simple as just observing the ceremony?
so¡¡
How could the red-robed priest Taoist Heji show his cultivation in front of the people of the town just to stop the mad cow from hurting people?
The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty asked Master Xiao to come here just to show the strength of Daozong to the people and the courtiers. Only if Daozong shows extraordinary strength will Sui officials and people have more confidence in the upcoming war. With the backing of Taoist masters, the Sui army did not have to fear Buddhist practitioners.
The emperor¡¯s seemingly ordinary actions contain profound meanings that cannot but be admired.
So when Fang Jie guessed this, he was full of respect for the current leader of the Sui Empire. If he knew about other things His Majesty the Emperor did to prepare for this war, he would probably be in awe of him. This is the kind of palace a person in power should have, and he has thought of almost all the difficulties he will face.
Fang Jie couldn't help but think that if all the emperors of the Sui Dynasty had such scheming intentions, then it would not be unbelievable that the power of the Sui Dynasty would not diminish for hundreds of years. He even believed that if the emperors after the Sui Dynasty were as blessed by God, Emperor Yang Yi is the same, so there is no need for more. After five or six generations of emperors, it is impossible to say that the Sui Dynasty will be able to dominate the world.
Just when he was lost in thought, Qilin Henggang and the four of them also discovered Shen Qingshan and others who were sitting on a branch of a tree watching the excitement. The oldest iron slave shook his head quietly and signaled the other three not to go over and recognize each other. Although the fifteen-year period has arrived, no one dares to truly let go.
Not only are you worried about the monks who are tirelessly chasing and killing them all the way, but also the person behind the scenes who arranges all this must also be on guard. Who knowswhether that person will kill the donkey in fifteen years?
Or eradicate the roots?

Through the gap in the carriage curtain, Master Xiao was very satisfied with the lively scene he saw. Although there were not many people gathered, he was sure that the news would spread throughout the streets of the imperial capital in a few days. At that time, another miracle in the Taoist sect will be spread wildly. Although this is not as good as the story of the peach blossom blooming overnight, at this critical moment, its effect will probably be better than that of the peach blossom.
His Majesty¡¯s secret edict mentioned that he would mobilize troops against Meng Yuan and asked him to find ways to eliminate the fear of Buddhism among the people in the world. This is extremely difficult to do in other places, but it is not impossible in Sui Dynasty. Because the people of the Sui Dynasty had no faith, although it was not easy to give them faith, it was ultimately much easier than erasing their existing faith.
Along the way north from Qingle Mountain, he had instructed Taoist Heji to show such so-called miracles many times. The people's belief in Taoism in the Sui Dynasty also became stronger and stronger.
He knew that His Majesty the Emperor was a man who acted with dignity and caution. Before starting such a big war, the Emperor would definitely take everything into consideration. Only when the people are brave can we fight. If the people are afraid, the war will be defeated. The soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were the most powerful soldiers in the world, but it did not mean that they could truly be invincible. Only when the common people firmly believe that this battle will not be lost and spare no effort to support this war that has the potential to change the world structure, will the soldiers reach their greatest potential.
Therefore, Master Xiao knew that he must do what His Majesty the Emperor told him well.
He is also happy to do it.
Because if this thing is done well, it will not only benefit the emperor. Although Daozong had a unique position in the Sui Dynasty, Master Xiao was self-aware. In terms of overall influence and strength, the Buddhist sect is a few steps ahead of the Tao sect. As for the leader's status and cultivation, that Great Wheel Ming King was probably much better than him.
If such a Taoist sect does not make every effort to develop, it will not be able to truly compare with the Buddhist sect even in many lifetimes, let alone this life.
The Taoist sect lived in this corner of the Sui Dynasty, while the Buddhist sect had spread throughout the world.
When he was a lazy Taoist who was cheating money in the world, he did not have such a grand ideal in his heart. But ever since that year when he defrauded one hundred taels of silver and a promise from Yang Yi, who was still the fourth prince, his fate had quietly changed.
The fourth prince became the emperor, and he became the national advisor.
???????????? But this Imperial Master was not only obtained because he promoted Taoism for His Majesty. When the fourth prince Yang Yi fought for the throne in a humble and prudent manner, seemingly without any desire or desire, he played an indispensable role in it. It was precisely because of that incident that His Majesty trusted him.
Seeing that the reaction of the people was already enthusiastic enough, Master Xiao gave a few instructions to the Taoist boy outside in a low voice. The Taoist boy hurriedly walked forward to find Taoist Heji and told him what Master Xiao meant in his ear. Taoist Heji nodded and walked slowly to the farmer who was squatting next to the pit and watching his cattle whine. He couldn't help but want to whine himself.
Taoist Heji asked the Taoist boy to take a piece of silver and handed it to the farmer. He said gently: "I have no choice but to hurt your cattle. This silver is to compensate you. Your cattle has broken bones. I'm afraid it won't be able to plow in the future." Land. You can use this money to buy a strong cattle later. If you have any other requirements, you can go to the imperial capital to find me."
By lowering his status like this, he immediately won the favor of the villagers.
Some people started to cheer and some people started to applaud.
Taoist Heji turned around and got back on the carriage. The farmer took the silver and was so stupid that he didn't know what to say.
TeamWu set out on the road again, and all the officials from the Ministry of Rites accompanying him were dumbfounded. This is the first time they have seen the abilities of practitioners, and it is also the first time they have felt that human power can really shock people's hearts like the power of God.
The large group of people set off slowly, and the people lined the streets to see them off.
When the carriage team passed by the woods, Tie Nu and others nodded slightly to Fang Jie who was sitting on the tree branch. Fang Jie smiled and said nothing.
At this moment, the curtains of the third carriage suddenly opened a gap. A calm and cold gaze poked out of the car window, first glanced at Shen Qingshan, then quickly moved away and finally rested on Fang Jie.
This look is very calm, without any trace of hatred.
Fang Jie thought it was his imagination, and when he looked over again, the curtain of the carriage had been lowered.
Until the carriage disappeared from sight, Fang Jie didn't understand the meaning of that look. There was no hostility, no resentment, nothing. It was as calm and clear as a lake without any ripples.
But such a look made Fang Jie feel shocked for no reason.
¡¡
¡¡
On a high slope two or three miles away from the official road, an eagle in black robe looked at a young man sitting on a tree branch with a pipe in his mouth with clairvoyance. The corners of his mouth curled up, not with a smile, but with cold murderous intent. Although Yu Donglai, the Minister of War, had confessed to him more than once, he really had no fear of Fang Jie, a small person who seemed to have no profound background.
Behind him, a row of more than a dozen people also wearing black robes stood there, their whole bodies wrapped in black robes with only their eyes exposed, as cold as a row of knives stuck on the ground.
"That woman seems to be in some trouble, and the rest is nothing to worry about."
The eagle whispered something, frowned and pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered something.
"I heard Li Fubo and others from the Yanwu Academy will be practicing their art of war in the open space in the south of the city tomorrow. Prince Yi wants to attend in person on behalf of His Majesty? This is the last competition between the top three in the Yanwu Academy. I don't know who will win."
One of his subordinates nodded and said: "The minister has arranged it, and it is indeed true."
"If that stupid boy accidentally gets into the game tomorrow, his death in the military formation shouldn't cause any waves, right?"
Yingjiu sneered, turned around and ordered: "Think of a way to lure him there tomorrow morning. Those nobles in the top three of the martial arts academy are all cold, arrogant and cruel. Someone who breaks into the martial arts place without permission will not get good results. Eat. Even if he doesn't die, the Ministry of War can take the opportunity to remove that kid."
"As long as he is no longer a candidate of the Yanwu Academy, what else is there to worry about?"
He raised his clairvoyance again, only to find that the young man sitting on the branch of the tree was missing.
He is less than three miles away from Fang Jie.
If Mu Xiaoyao was here, he would definitely be able to sense his presence.
But it¡¯s a pity that Mu Xiaoyao entered the imperial capital and entered the imperial guard¡¯s office.
The eagle moved its clairvoyance to find where the damn boy had gone. It didn't take long to find that the boy had walked into the middle of the official road. He seemed to be waving in this direction, and he was startled. When he looked carefully, he discovered that there was another team on the official road, a series of seven or eight carriages. At the front of the team, a fat Taoist man as fat as a pig was waving his arms vigorously in response to the young man.
Eagle Eagle gritted his teeth and prayed in his heart that the fat Taoist would never come with Master Xiao. If people from Daozong are involved, things will be difficult to handle.
