Chapter 38 Troubled Times
A drop of water can reflect the sun's light.
If the two old bastards start fighting, it will only last a long time.
Meng Quan, the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, felt that his lips were a little dry these days.
Things like arguing are just a waste of time.
It is especially difficult to do so in a civilized manner and demonstrate magnanimity and cultivation.
The group of people on the opposite side actually openly wanted the unidentified creature hanging on the Qixing Hotel. Can we give it to them?
And you're still condemning me for conducting biochemical experiments?
How much have you done? Do you really think no one knows?
You still have the nerve to ask those ten people, do you think we don’t know about that spy?
Faced with the other party's rude requests, Meng Quanlai refused them one by one.
As for those ten people, I'm sorry, I just found out that they seem to be spies.
What?
You are slandering me by saying that I abused spies!
It was clearly that unknown creature that was abusing them.
Meng Quanlai adhered to the nine-word mantra of "not admitting, only condemning, and counter-questioning", and fought back and forth with the other side of the ocean, and even had a slight upper hand.
This is the daily life of a diligent Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty.
………
There have been so many shocking revelations in the past few days that the Ming Dynasty's spectators have felt like they have nowhere to put their hands.
Compared with the daily wrangling in the Ministry of Rites, everyone's attention is more on the mysterious and extraordinary forces of the Ming Dynasty.
The Spiritual Recovery Forum quickly became the most popular forum in Ming Dynasty, with daily traffic comparable to that of large portals.
Who still pays attention to headlines and gossip nowadays?
Let me ask you one question: Can you achieve immortality?
Compared with cultivating immortality, everything in the world is boring.
In the Spiritual Energy Revival forum, the most popular posts these days are all about analyzing the extraordinary forces of the Ming Dynasty.
The top post is a post signed by the author "Buying Medicine for the First Emperor", which analyzes the extraordinary power of the Ming Dynasty from various aspects:
"The Ming Dynasty's extraordinary power has obviously existed for a long time. The most obvious feature is its logo, which is a variation of Lai's Tai Chi diagram.
"The map of He came out, the book of Luo came out, and the sages followed it." The culture of Kyushu came from the map of He and the book of Luo, and the symbol that best demonstrated the art of He and Luo is Tai Chi. The symbol of the extraordinary power of the Ming Dynasty represents the intersection of yin and yang, the sun and the moon shining together, and the sun and the moon are the Ming Dynasty."
"The second thing that can reflect the long-standing existence of the Ming Dynasty's extraordinary forces is the car. This car does not belong to any of the current military equipment of the Ming Dynasty. This is a special equipment, that is, military equipment that is not in the numbering sequence. This should be exclusive equipment for the Ming Dynasty's extraordinary forces."
"Also, the Qixin Hotel handled the subdued ghosts. They opened, filled, and closed the coffins in one go. What does this mean? It means that they deal with these ghosts frequently."
"In summary, the extraordinary forces of the Ming Dynasty should have existed for hundreds of years. During these hundreds of years, they have been hiding in the darkness, clearing out these ghosts and even extraordinary lives, but we have never discovered them."
"Then the question is, why did they suddenly appear, suddenly appear openly?"
"This shows that there are big changes between heaven and earth. What big changes are there? The author speculates that this is the revival of spiritual energy. Perhaps it is time for all the people to practice Taoism!"
The post has 10 million views, 500,000 reposts, and over 5 million comments.
Many people said that the world is changing too fast.
But in the blink of an eye, the world has changed.

In Shuntian Prefecture, Hall of Supreme Harmony, Zhang Dongsheng leaned on a centuries-old rosewood chair and quietly read the post.
The solemn red building once represented the supreme imperial power and was the dream of countless people.
Zhang Dongsheng raised his head and looked towards the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The entire Shuntian Prefecture seemed to be under this hall.
“How many people have read this manuscript directly or indirectly?”
Zhang Dongsheng's voice was flat, like smoke rising in the windless air, as solid as a sculpture.
"About 300 million people, at least."
Minister of Personnel Liu Yu didn't dare to breathe, and asked cautiously: "Do you need to block it?"
"Block what? Wait until those sects jump out and accuse us of oppressing the ignorant common people?" Zhang Dongsheng asked in a neutral tone.
"Then stick to your previous attitude. Neither admit nor deny nor explain." Minister of Personnel Liu Yu's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and he quickly changed his words.
"Liu Yu, you have been in charge of the Ministry of Personnel for a long time. You can't always be so stagnant!"
Zhang Dongsheng's tone remained calm.
Liu Yu bowed and said:
"Please enlighten me, Prime Minister!"
Zhang Dongsheng pointed his finger at the tablet in front of him.
"Make it clear, but don't explain it."
"What is the meaning of this...?"
Zhang Dongsheng turned his head and looked at Liu Yu, and asked:
"Are you going to tell the people of the Ming Dynasty that we have just discovered the revival of spiritual energy and are still considering how to communicate with these revived sects?"
Liu Yu's mind was like a thunderclap, and he immediately understood the Prime Minister's intention: a Ming Dynasty that has controlled the extraordinary for hundreds of years is more deterrent than a Ming Dynasty that has just discovered the extraordinary, both to the people and to foreign countries.
Sometimes pretending to be strong is also a kind of strength.
"I understand!" Liu Yu bowed.
Zhang Dongsheng looked up at the dark clouds gathering outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, shook his head and stood up.
“What a troubled time!”
The cool breeze is gradually blowing, and there may be a heavy rain in Shuntian Prefecture.
…………
The Qi Xin Hotel, where the tortoise-shell-bound ghost figure had been hanging for three days, finally ended its most shameful three days of forced operation.
Lin Qingsheng and others took it down from the rooftop, moved it into a huge mahogany coffin, and then put the mahogany coffin into a heavy truck.
The heavy truck that had been parked for three days started moving under the Qixing Hotel.
Faced with the congested crowd, police cars cleared the way and the heavy trucks quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Although people were curious about where the extraordinary forces of the Ming Dynasty were based, they did not dare to follow them.
But among the crowd, there was an indescribable glow in Zhao Hao's eyes.
Outside the city of Yu, heavy trucks were driving on a closed lane towards the Third Department of the Ministry of War.
The hills rise and fall and the roads twist and turn.
The clouds in the sky dissipated, revealing endless sunset glow, and the setting sun hung in the distance on the mountain top.
There was only one heavy truck on the dark highway.
Until a young monk wrapped in plain clothes appeared on the horizon.
He stood alone on the dark road, his white robe forming a sharp contrast with the dark road, like a green lotus that emerges from the mud without being stained.
The fair and clean monk smiled faintly, the sunset glowed on his body, emitting a faint golden light.
"I am a humble monk who has not followed the precepts and has learned from a different sect. I am sorry to bother you all!"
The sound spread for hundreds of meters and was clearly heard by the heavy trucks and vehicles clearing the way.
It sounds like the sound of porcelain, crisp and sweet, and like a gentle breeze passing by, clearing people's hearts.
