Chapter 63 The Medical Fairy’s father’s martial arts are invincible in the world!
From the emperor to ordinary officials, the court looked down on the people of the underworld as ruffians, but at the same time they were wary of those who were highly skilled in martial arts. This contradictory attitude made the court rarely intervene in the underworld, or it could be said that it was unable to intervene.
Although the martial arts masters in the martial arts world are highly skilled, it is impossible for them to fight against a hundred people alone and oppose the army. Therefore, the martial arts masters did not dare to really anger the imperial court and attract the imperial court to send troops to encircle and suppress them.
This has led to the current situation where the court and the underworld are clearly divided and do not interfere with each other.
But living in the same world, it is impossible that there is no connection between the court and the underworld. For example, there are martial arts masters who are greedy for fame and fortune and accept recruitment by people in the court to serve as retainers and guards. For example, Prince Duan and Prince Xun fought fiercely in the court. For their own personal safety, they recruited martial arts masters to serve as guards to protect themselves, and also gave orders to killers in the underworld to assassinate their opponents.
Si Yuan also guessed that the struggle between the righteous martial arts world and the evil sect was probably fueled by the imperial court behind the scenes.
Those righteous sects are fine. Even if they recruit disciples, they prefer quality over quantity. At most, they have a few hundred disciples and a fixed mountain gate. If they anger the imperial court, they will just send troops to surround and destroy them.
But the Demon Cult is different. It is a large force centered around sectarian beliefs and is divided into the inner and outer circles. The outer disciples are all cannon fodder, and everyone is welcome. Anyone who is willing to join the Demon Cult can join as long as they pass a simple assessment. But the inner circle must believe in the gods worshipped by the cult. These inner circle members with faith are the most loyal to the cult and can receive better training.
The position of the leader of a cult has always been held by the most capable, but usually if the previous leader has children or disciples, he will pass the position to them. However, if the children and disciples of the leader are not strong enough in martial arts, it is no problem for other more powerful members to kill the heir to the leader and take the position themselves.
In the original plot, no one in the Demon Cult knew that Li Zhengyun told Bai Junting the weakness of the Demon Cult leader, so the people in the Demon Cult did not know that their young leader had betrayed the Demon Cult. Although Li Zhengyun's mind was not clear, his strength was still very strong, so there was not much resistance for him to become the leader. It may also be because the powerful members of the Demon Cult who could become obstacles to him all died in the battle between good and evil.
The method of selecting the strongest to take the position of the Demon Cult leader ensures that every generation of Demon Cult leaders has strong military power and can integrate and subdue the entire Demon Cult. This makes the power of a single Demon Cult stronger than the combined power of all the righteous sects.
After all, even if the righteous sects unite together, they are not close enough, unlike the evil sect which claims to have 100,000 disciples and soldiers. This is simply an army, and an army with a unified faith.
Under such circumstances, it would be strange if the imperial court was not afraid of the Demon Cult.
Si Yuan thought it was reasonable that the imperial court instigated the righteous sects to unite and fight against the evil sect, so that both sides would suffer losses.
Even if Si Yuan has no evidence to prove that the confrontation between the good and evil forces in the martial arts world is instigated by the imperial court, looking at the situation and the ultimate beneficiary, he can infer it.
The confrontation between the good and evil forces in the martial arts world has been going on for decades. It is obvious that this policy targeting the martial arts world has been implemented since the reigns of the previous two emperors.
Si Yuan saw that the imperial court did not seem to have any intention of changing its policy toward the martial arts world, and still planned to maintain this balance.
From this, it can be seen that in the original plot, after the male protagonist Bai Junting killed the leader of the Demon Cult and the righteous path won a great victory, he actually kept the Demon Cult alive and secretly supported Li Zhengyun to become the leader of the Demon Cult. Perhaps it was not only to secure his position as the leader of the martial arts world, but also to avoid arousing the fear of the court.
After all, what the imperial court hopes to see is that both the righteous and the evil sects suffer losses or compete with each other, rather than one side dominating alone.
Now that the evil cult has been wiped out, the alliance of righteous sects will probably become a thorn in the side of the imperial court.
The imperial court does not care whether a martial arts sect is a righteous sect or not. It only cares whether this martial arts sect with high martial arts power can threaten the imperial court's rule.
Which national regime can tolerate the existence of such a powerful independent force within its own country?
Now that the imperial court is unable to wipe out all the forces in the martial arts world at the same time, it can only maintain this balance between good and evil.
But what Si Yuan couldn't stand was that this state of equilibrium between good and evil was achieved through occasional minor local frictions and occasional major wars. The martial arts world had nothing to do with the imperial court or ordinary civilians, but they all lived on this land, so how could they really have nothing to do with each other?
On ordinary days, the fights and disputes among the people in the martial arts world often involve ordinary people. At the very least, they will lose money or even their lives. After the war between good and evil begins, they become even more unscrupulous, and the people suffer terribly. There are also those extremely vicious characters like the Five Poison Taoists who kill innocent people indiscriminately and even dare to massacre a city.
Si Yuan then had the idea of using the power of the imperial court to personally rectify the martial arts world.
The entire martial arts world has been taken care of by him. From now on, there is no more righteous alliance and no more evil cult. Then what do the original male protagonist Bai Junting's father, Bai Mengzhu, and the male supporting actor Li Zhengyun's father, Li Jiaozhu, count for? How can you compare with him, the national master who has rectified the martial arts world?
In this way, Siyuan can complete the system's tasks and do what he wants to do.
Traveling through these small worlds cannot be done simply to complete tasks and comprehend the laws of heaven and earth. The life experiences in these small worlds are also valuable. This is also an opportunity for training. Tempering the mind in the world is also a way of practicing.
Emperor Cheng Qian looked at the ordinary farmhouse that suddenly became spacious and open. He even looked up and saw that the sky and the earth were turned upside down, day and night were reversed, and the dark curtain was hanging low, as if the stars were within reach.
This shocking scene appeared before his eyes, and made Emperor Cheng Qian forget for a moment that he was only in the small courtyard of the Li family. He thought that he had been taken to the fairyland by an immortal without knowing when.
He felt as if he was in a dream.
It was not until Si Yuan waved his hand again and everything returned to normal that Emperor Cheng Qian suddenly came to his senses and stared blankly at the scene in the Li family courtyard in front of him.
The two jujube trees that looked extraordinary at first glance were still standing there, the chessboard under the trees was still there, and even the gate he had just entered was still there... as if nothing had changed.
Wait...Emperor Cheng Qian looked around suspiciously. Was the house he saw outside the Li family's door before so big? Why does it feel like the Li family’s yard is more than twice as big as the house I see outside the door?
Emperor Cheng Qian was so surprised that he couldn't help but ask Si Yuan out of curiosity, "Mr. Li, when I saw the house from outside, it didn't seem so big. How come after I came in, the yard alone is more than twice the size of the house I saw?"
Si Yuan smiled slightly and said, "This is similar to the Sleeve Qiankun Technique, except that the space in the yard is more than doubled. The Sleeve Qiankun Technique also expands the small space in the sleeve to the extent that it can store a lot of items."
The Universe in the Sleeve is a magical spell mentioned in many myths and legends. Although Emperor Cheng Qian has never actually seen it, he has heard of the great name of this spell. As the name suggests, he can guess the effect of this magical spell.
So after Si Yuan explained it this way, he understood.
Emperor Cheng Qian looked at the expanded courtyard with envy and surprise, thinking happily that if he could invite Mr. Li to live in the palace, as long as he asked for it when Mr. Li was in a good mood, would his palace be able to expand its interior space without changing the exterior or building major buildings?
Of course, the prerequisite for all this is to invite Si Yuan, the real immortal, to the capital.
Emperor Cheng Qian bowed to Si Yuan respectfully and said, "Greetings to the Immortal. Your magical powers are truly eye-opening and fascinating. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to invite the Immortal to settle in the capital. I am willing to use the power of the whole country to worship the Immortal, build a temple for the Immortal, and let the people of the whole country offer incense and worship the Immortal..."
Si Yuan waved his hand indifferently and said, "I am an immortal, not a god. I do not need incense and offerings."
Emperor Cheng Qian had a confused expression, not understanding the difference between immortals and gods. In his eyes, weren’t they all gods?
Si Yuan explained to Emperor Cheng Qian slowly, "Nowadays, the word 'god' has come to mean the god of incense and fire. Just as your majesty said, the gods who are worshipped by the people, who accept the people's incense and fire, and who practice with the incense and fire, are naturally bound by the incense and fire and faith. Once the incense and fire faith fade, their own strength will also decline. But immortals are different. Immortals are free and unfettered, and are not bound by such constraints. All great powers belong to themselves, so I don't need to use incense and fire to practice."
Emperor Cheng Qian understood what Si Yuan meant. He was very disappointed. It was rare for him to meet an immortal who did not need incense and offerings. Doesn't that mean he had no capital to negotiate with the immortal?
Fortunately, before he could continue to be disappointed, Si Yuan changed the subject: "However, I have only recovered some of my past memories and a little bit of my cultivation after reincarnating and experiencing the tribulation. I have not yet successfully returned to my original position after the tribulation. Therefore, I also need your Majesty's help."
Emperor Cheng Qian was overjoyed: "Just tell me what the immortal wants you to do, and I will do it." As long as the immortal had something to ask of him, he had the capital to negotiate terms with the immortal.
Seeing Emperor Chengqian being so sensible, Si Yuan smiled and said, "I want to borrow the protection of the imperial court and national destiny to reduce the disasters and twists and turns in the process of experiencing the calamity."
He didn't say that he wanted to borrow the country's fortune to practice cultivation, because borrowing the country's fortune to practice cultivation made it sound as if he was an evil cultivator who absorbed the country's fortune to practice cultivation.
But it’s different if he relies on the blessing of national destiny. When I heard this statement, I felt that he would not waste the national destiny.
But when it comes to such intangible things as national destiny, Emperor Cheng Qian might not have cared about it in the past. After all, whether such things as national destiny and dragon energy exist is still unknown. Anyway, no one has ever seen them, and they are just talked about verbally.
Now even the immortals who have experienced tribulations have seen it with their own eyes, so how could it be possible that there is no national destiny and dragon energy? Of course it exists, but they are just mortal beings that cannot see it.
Emperor Cheng Qian was very worried. Would it affect the country's fortune if the fortune was lent to Si Yuan to ward off disasters?
As soon as Si Yuan saw Emperor Cheng Qian's hesitation, he knew what he was worried about, and comforted him, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The fate of the country is of great importance. I will naturally not exhaust the fate of a country and cause the people to suffer and be entangled in debt. This will only make me fail in my tribulation, fall short of the goal, and have to start all over again. I will use the national fate to protect my body during the tribulation, and will also help Your Majesty unify the world and make the national fate more prosperous."
Emperor Cheng Qian was somewhat moved. Seeing that he was wavering, Si Yuan reached out and touched his eyes in mid-air, saying, "Your Majesty, please look up in the direction of the capital."
Emperor Cheng Qian did as he was told subconsciously. He looked up in the direction of the capital, and was shocked to see a huge nine-clawed golden dragon coiled in the sky above the capital. It was surrounded by golden clouds, and the golden glow was extremely gorgeous and noble. He exclaimed in shock, "This, this is..."
Si Yuan said calmly: "This is the destiny of our dynasty. If the country is prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the national strength is strong, the size of the golden dragon will grow. But if the country is turbulent and the people are in danger, the size of the golden dragon will shrink until it can no longer shrink and it will degenerate into a dragon or a snake until the country is destroyed and the people die, and it completely dissipates."
Emperor Cheng Qian never thought that one day he would be able to see with his own eyes what the destiny of his country was like. He was deeply shocked that such a huge golden dragon was actually the destiny of his country.
After hearing Si Yuan's words, he instinctively didn't want this huge and noble golden dragon to shrink, or even degenerate into a dragon or a snake. After all, that would symbolize that his country was going downhill, and he was heading towards the tragic end of a king who lost his country.
This gave rise to the desire to make the Golden Dragon of National Destiny even bigger and the country more prosperous and powerful.
Emperor Cheng Qian, who had never been interested in developing the country and only wanted to have a son and an heir as soon as possible, suddenly developed a sense of career.
The golden dragon of fortune hovering above the capital city was the carrot hanging in front of him.
Emperor Cheng Qian felt that since he could see the existence of the Golden Dragon of Fortune, he didn't care whether Si Yuan was borrowing the national fortune to avoid disaster. After all, if Si Yuan wasted the national fortune, he would be able to tell at a glance from the size of the Golden Dragon of Fortune, and then he would just take back the loaned national fortune in time.
Even if Si Yuan is an immortal, he is the emperor of this country, the supreme ruler who controls the destiny of the country.
Emperor Cheng Qian had this idea exactly what Si Yuan wanted him to have. Otherwise, why would he open a pair of heavenly eyes that could see destiny for Emperor Cheng Qian?
This Sky Eye was to some extent artificially edited by Si Yuan, and this golden dragon of fortune was also what Si Yuan wanted Emperor Cheng Qian to see, otherwise it would be strange for an ancient country in a small world to have such a huge golden dragon of fortune.
Emperor Cheng Qian wanted to agree to Si Yuan's request to use the national fortune to avoid disaster, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Si Yuan next to him. He was shocked when he saw that there was a purple-gold luck above Si Yuan's head rising straight into the sky, and the purple air filled his whole body, so that his figure could not be seen clearly. The auspicious clouds formed by the purple luck were floating around him, making Si Yuan look so noble and ethereal, and making people believe in his identity as an immortal.
However, after Emperor Cheng Qian looked at it for a few moments, he felt a sharp pain in his eyes. He covered his eyes in pain and wailed, with two lines of blood and tears flowing down his face.
Si Yuan picked two jujube leaves and applied them to Emperor Cheng Qian's eyes. Emperor Cheng Qian felt the pain in his eyes was relieved a lot. He quickly pressed the jujube leaves on his eyelids with both hands. Immediately, the pain disappeared and he slowly recovered.
Si Yuan said helplessly: "Your Majesty, did you just look at my luck? I have experienced many tribulations and reincarnations. Even if it is not my real body, my luck is definitely not something that ordinary people can see. Your Majesty, next time you open your heavenly eyes, please don't look at my luck again."
Emperor Cheng Qian recalled the purple aura that he had just seen on Si Yuan, and suddenly became speechless.
The strength of this purple-gold luck is almost surpassing the national luck he had just seen. If someone told him now that Si Yuan was not an immortal but a liar, he would jump up and slap the other person twice. If this kind of strong luck is not that of an immortal, then what else could it be?
Emperor Cheng Qian covered his eyes and did not dare to open them. He asked cautiously, "My Lord, is there anything wrong with my eyes?"
When Si Yuan heard Emperor Cheng Qian change his title and self-proclaimed name so quickly, he curled his lips. A sensible emperor could indeed save him a lot of trouble.
He smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. I have applied the leaves of the spiritual tree to your eyes and used spiritual energy to clear the meridians around your eyes. You will be fine. But if you want to use the Heavenly Eye again in the future, you must pay attention to the time. Each time you use it, it should not exceed a cup of tea, otherwise your eyes will not be able to bear the pressure, and your vision will deteriorate or even go blind."
Emperor Cheng Qian agreed repeatedly: "My little emperor will keep it in mind!" He felt relieved that his eyes would be fine. The Heavenly Eye was not disposable and could be used again in the future. It was really great.
As for what Si Yuan said about using the Third Eye too much in the future leading to blindness, he did not take it seriously. After all, such bad consequences would only occur if it was used for more than a cup of tea each time. Wouldn't it be fine as long as he did not use it for more than a cup of tea each time?
Emperor Cheng Qian got the Sky Eye skill for free, and he was very happy at this moment.
When he felt his eyes felt comfortable, he released his hands that were covering his eyes, took off the jujube leaves on his eyes, blinked, and felt that his vision was still clear. It was just that his third eye closed automatically. There was no other problem, so he felt relieved immediately.
Emperor Cheng Qian looked down at the two emerald green jujube leaves in his hand, and thinking of the effect of the jujube leaves that Duke Cheng En had offered as a tribute after being soaked in water, he quickly put the two jujube leaves in his arms.
Although the two jujube leaves had been applied to his eyes, he did not dislike them at all and continued to soak them in water and drink them.
Si Yuan was speechless when he saw that Emperor Cheng Qian was reluctant to throw away even the two jujube leaves he was using to apply to his eyes, and hid them in his arms like treasures.
Originally, I thought that seeing that the emperor was so considerate, I planned to give the stunted 'Ershu' to the emperor as a sweet treat.
It seems that it is better not to send it now, so as not to make the emperor greedy. He will have to spend more things to satisfy Emperor Cheng Qian’s greed in the future.
It’s good that Emperor Cheng Qian is satisfied with two jujube leaves now. Next time if he gives him three jujube leaves, Emperor Cheng Qian will surely be satisfied. If he gives him a jujube fruit, Emperor Cheng Qian should be even more surprised.
But if he gave a whole Fire Spirit Jujube tree to Emperor Cheng Qian now, then next time he would have to give Emperor Cheng Qian a treasure that is more precious than a whole Fire Spirit Jujube tree in order to satisfy Emperor Cheng Qian.
Si Yuan still had to settle this account, so he decisively gave up the idea of giving the tree as a gift.
Emperor Cheng Qian had no idea that his worthless behavior of treating the jujube leaves as treasures had caused the entire immortal jujube tree that he was about to get to fly away. He was happily touching the two jujube leaves that he had obtained for free in his arms, and with a smile on his face, he respectfully invited Si Yuan to go to the capital with him: "Your Excellency, I will immediately issue an edict to publicly appoint you as the imperial teacher of this dynasty. I am willing to share the fate of the country with you! I wonder when Your Excellency will set off to return to the capital with me?"
Si Yuan said calmly: "Then let's do it now. Anyway, this place is not far from the capital, and it is convenient to go back and forth on weekdays, so let's go directly to the capital to take a look."
As soon as Si Yuan finished speaking, Emperor Cheng Qian felt the stars shifting and the space flipping around him, which made his head buzz and he was confused. When he woke up, he found himself standing at the door of Panlong Hall in his own palace.
There were a large number of imperial guards stationed at the entrance of Panlong Palace. When they saw two people suddenly appear at the entrance, they were greatly panicked. Before they could even see who they were, they immediately surrounded them and said, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the palace!"
When Emperor Chengqian heard the stern shouts from the imperial guards, he quickly spoke out to identify himself: "It's me! My dear minister, don't panic!"
At this time, the imperial guards saw that one of them was actually the emperor in his ordinary clothes, so they all knelt down and greeted him: "Your Majesty, may your Majesty be well!"
Si Yuan stood beside Emperor Cheng Qian with an indifferent expression, watching Emperor Cheng Qian deal with the situation.
Emperor Cheng Qian was still shocked at the moment as he returned to the Panlong Hall in the imperial palace from such a distant village in an instant. He absentmindedly asked the imperial guards to return to their posts, and then respectfully invited Si Yuan into the Panlong Hall.
As for the gag order, Emperor Cheng Qian did not issue it, because he was planning to openly enthrone the immortal Si Yuan as the imperial teacher, so there was naturally no need to hide the existence of this immortal Si Yuan.
Only after the emperor and Si Yuan entered the Panlong Palace did the imperial guards recall with horror what had just happened.
They were sure that they had indeed seen the emperor and the unidentified man suddenly appear at the gate of Panlong Palace. They neither came out from inside the palace nor from outside the palace, but appeared out of thin air.
In this bizarre situation, the emperor behaved so naturally. All the imperial guards knew in their hearts that something big had happened, something extremely serious!
But none of them dared to say a word and could only hide this huge secret in their hearts.
However, soon with the imperial edict issued from Panlong Palace, the news that Emperor Chengqian appointed Immortal Li Siyuan as the imperial teacher of this dynasty spread throughout the capital, and then spread outside the capital.
The imperial guards guarding the gate of Panlong Palace were the first to know the news. They immediately understood that the other person who appeared out of nowhere with the emperor should be the mysterious newly appointed national master.
His Majesty the Emperor has personally acknowledged that the Imperial Master is an immortal, so the Emperor and the Imperial Master appearing out of thin air at the gate of Panlong Palace is no longer a trick.
