Chapter 99: Performing thunderbolt measures and showing the heart of a bodhisattva [Additional chapter for the reward of "We all had innocence"]
Ji Changsheng and Ying Hongye's merits are increasing rapidly.
Ji Changsheng had anticipated this, but the direct addition of a petal of the golden lotus of merit still surprised Ji Changsheng.
Looking at these heads of people who died with their eyes wide open, Ji Changsheng said with deep emotion: "Senior sister, you are not lying to me. There are merits everywhere under the mountain. It's like picking them up for free."
Ying Hongye had never felt that she was short-sighted before, but now she began to feel that way.
"When I was at Xuandu Temple, I thought Master Li was a madman. But when I really got down the mountain, I realized that Master Li might be a saint."
Ying Hongye's impression of Li Changxi took a 270-degree turn.
The reason why there is no 360° is that after a 360° turn, it may still be the same as before, so we have to be more rigorous.
Except for Ji Changsheng, everyone in Xuandu Temple thinks that Li Changxi is the lunatic. Everyone thinks that what the scripture-preaching elder teaches is right. How can merits and virtues grow infinitely?
Ying Hongye now discovered that the elder who preached the scriptures had a narrow mind.
It is truly possible for merit to grow infinitely.
Master Li's future is absolutely limitless.
From this, let’s review Li Maizhu’s promotion speed and trajectory.
Combined with your own personal experience.
Ying Hongye naturally realized one thing:
Li Changxi must have done many of the things they did in Shengguo before.
Otherwise, Li Changxi's rapid progress would not have been possible.
Moreover...this method of promotion can actually be emulated.
Ying Hongye looked at Ji Changsheng.
Ji Changsheng, who is bathing in the golden light of merit and enjoying the infusion of Xuanhuang, is obviously following Li Changxi's path.
And more radical.
"Changsheng, Master Li's path to advancement is really worth pursuing."
Ji Changsheng smiled: "It has always been possible. When Senior Sister was in Xuandu Temple, she always hoped that others would follow her example. But, except for me, you all think she is crazy."
Li Changxi may indeed have some mental problems, but her understanding of the path of cultivation is real, otherwise she would not have achieved her current level of cultivation.
The others didn't hear it, but Ji Changsheng definitely did.
Ying Hongye felt the growth of the merit energy in his body, the progress of his Taoism, and the clarity of his Tao mind, and began to nod slowly.
The energy of merit has many wonderful uses.
Even if you don't use the energy of merit to improve your realm, it can still have a significant effect in assisting cultivation, clearing the mind and eliminating inner demons.
It can basically be said that there are only benefits and no harm.
But Ying Hongye is still smarter than Li Daoyan and Senior Brother Cao.
She soon realized the dangers of Li Changxi's promotion method and why it could not be promoted on a large scale.
"There's a response from the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce."
Ying Hongye and Ji Changsheng looked in the direction of the Shengguo branch of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce at the same time.
If Ji Changsheng just beheaded these ministers, the Shengguo branch of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce could actually still remain in place.
At worst, we can just replace them with a new batch of puppets.
Three-legged toads are hard to find, but aren't two-legged dogs everywhere? However, a group of thugs from the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce came out to rob the execution ground, and the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce could no longer sit still.
They can watch the show, but they must not be there themselves, otherwise they won't be able to pick it out clearly.
At this time, a strong aura came from the Shengguo branch of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.
The peak state of Golden Core.
Judging from his aura alone, he seems to be even stronger than Cao Ziming who had just broken through.
It seems to show that Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is powerful and inviolable.
This also reminded Ying Hongye.
"After this incident, we will have to confront the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce head-on."
Ji Changsheng nodded.
Ying Hongye understood: "In this world, most of the things are intertwined. It is more difficult to clarify Yu Yu than to practice hard in seclusion. The reason why Master Li can take this path and still live until now is because of her strong background, not because of her strength. Master Li had eight disciples before, and they also thought about imitating Master Li, but in the end, they all died without a complete body."
At this point, Ying Hongye looked at Ji Changsheng: "I did think that this path of Master Li was not feasible. Now that I think about it, I really didn't understand, but the elders who passed on the scriptures must have understood. They knew that this path was not feasible, not because of merit, but because if you want to take this path, you will inevitably be enemies all over the world. Going on this path will definitely be more difficult than simply practicing hard. Changsheng, you have chosen the most difficult path."
Ying Hongye quickly faced the reality.
Two minutes ago, she only saw the rapid progress of Li Changxi and Ji Changsheng, as well as the convenience of using merit to improve their realm.
But now, she realizes the true difficulty of this path.
This is by no means a shortcut.
This is the most difficult path of cultivation.
If you practice hard in seclusion to break through, no one will stop you.
If you want to improve your realm through merit, you must punish evil and promote good, and help the poor and the needy.
The difficulty of the latter...is much greater than ascetic practice.
The reason why Ji Changsheng can make such great progress now is because Fairy Linglong has issued a sword order, prohibiting cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage from entering Sheng Country.
Otherwise, with what Ji Changsheng had done, he would have been in great difficulty or even beheaded.
"Changsheng, it's very dangerous to continue like this." Ying Hongye began to worry about Ji Changsheng: "Fairy Linglong's sword order can only last for one year. She will ascend to heaven sooner or later. And if you leave Sheng Country, the sword order will automatically become invalid. With the power of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, it is absolutely possible that they will send out Nascent Soul cultivators or even cultivators of higher realms to attack you."
Ji Changsheng nodded: "Are you scared?"
"I'm worried about you. Your eight senior brothers probably died this way." Ying Hongye said, "Master Li was born in the Li family, is loved by Fairy Linglong, and is also the Master of Xuandu Temple. Her status is different. Many people will be wary of her, but they may not be wary of you."
"What you said makes sense." Ji Changsheng smiled and said, "But I still want to take this path."
Ying Hongye was silent for a moment, then laughed: "Our ancestors must have thought the same way. Only by taking the most difficult path can one achieve the greatest cause. Even if there are thousands of people, I will go. This is what a real strong person does. Changsheng, I admire your choice. I will help you."
The Ying family always has some feelings.
Also willing to pay for feelings.
In this world, if there are two major forces that would give up interests and choose feelings between interests and feelings, the top two would most likely be Danqing Pavilion and the Ying family.
"I don't want to be a good person, but if I can do something that can help the vast majority of people and help me improve my strength quickly, then why not do it?" Ji Changsheng said calmly: "Whoever stands in front of me is a demon from the Demon Cult. Killing them is to eliminate demons and defend the Way. Hongye, we must do this too."
"Why?"
"Only by doing what others dare not do can you stand out and become someone that others cannot become. Otherwise, if everyone competes according to the same model, how can I fight against those second-generation immortals with deep backgrounds? How can you compete with a genius like me who is gifted with extraordinary talents?"
Ying Hongye couldn't refute.
"Senior sister has paved a way, and I must follow this path. Otherwise, I will be the one being bullied in the future. If I don't want to be bullied by these bastards, I must be the first to bully them. If I don't dare to take a chance with such good conditions, then what good will I do in the future?"
Now he is protected by Fairy Linglong.
After Fairy Linglong left, there was still the old demon Yu.
If Ji Changsheng didn't dare to live in this world with two such thick thighs, he would look down on himself.
If you miss this opportunity, you will miss this shop.
While this store is still in existence, of course we must maximize the protective function of the thighs.
In the vegetable market, people were killed one after another.
Chao Yuntian finally arrived at the scene.
Their meeting could not go on at all.
But after arriving at the scene, Chao Yuntian still couldn't believe his eyes.
"Elder Ji, do you... do you know the consequences of violating the Immortal Gate Covenant?"
Ji Changsheng smiled and pointed to the golden lotus of merit above his head.
"Do you recognize what this is?"
Chao Yuntian's eyes twitched.
I feel like God is really blind.
How could this devil, who kills without teaching and acts so unscrupulously, condense the Golden Lotus of Merit?
"My merits have increased, which means that Heaven thinks what I did is right. Is the Immortal Gate Covenant very powerful? Is it more powerful than Heaven's certification?"
Ji Changsheng asked harshly, making Chao Yuntian the target of public criticism.
But Chao Yuntian is obviously not a young man who has just started out.
He remained calm and spoke rationally, "Elder Ji, I am not trying to stop you from doing justice, but everything must go through the process and abide by the rules. If these people really committed a crime, they should be handed over to the three judicial departments for trial. Find out the evidence of their crimes, and then put them in prison, behead them, confiscate their property and exile them. This will convince the public and the result will not change at all. You... are too radical, and the procedure is very unjust."
Ji Changsheng asked sharply, "Let the three judicial departments jointly conduct the trial. What if there is a problem with the three judicial departments?"
"Then the Prime Minister will naturally handle it."
"Ninety-eight billion spiritual cards were confiscated from the Prime Minister's home."
Chao Yuntian: “…”
Fuck.
He had never really noticed that the Prime Minister had so much money.
Ninety-eight billion, even Fairy Linglong can’t wash it.
Chao Yuntian could only continue: "If the Prime Minister is unable to do so, then Your Majesty will conduct the trial personally."
Ji Changsheng sneered and said, "The previous emperor colluded with the Demon Cult, and was discovered by this elder. He committed suicide out of shame."
Chao Yuntian was also so angry that he laughed: "Elder Ji, whether the late emperor committed suicide out of shame or was killed, the people of the world have their own opinions, it is not up to you alone to decide. You are so perverse, but you can't stop the world from talking."
"Yeah?"
Ji Changsheng completely released his golden light of merit.
It covered an area of three kilometers.
Ji Changsheng bathed in it, with the Xuanhuang aura protecting his body and virtues surrounding him, like a god descending to earth, making people involuntarily feel submitting.
"Today, His Majesty has issued an order to kill these thieves of Sheng State and to confiscate their property into the national treasury. Later, they will be used to compensate the people who were cheated by Rugou when they bought Danqing Fudi. From today on, the property of these parasites will be used as a deposit to rectify the Fudi business and compensate all victims across the country.
"Tongtian Chamber of Commerce believes that I, the elder, am going against the grain by tacitly allowing Your Majesty to do this, and I cannot stop the people from speaking out. I will give you a chance to speak up and refute me."
Ji Changsheng looked around and used the "voice amplification method" learned from Li Changxi to the extreme: "If you have any opinions, you can raise them. Let Master Chao of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, the last disciple of Yijianxian, hear your true voice."
As soon as Ji Changsheng finished speaking, Chao Yuntian immediately heard the people shouting, "Elder Ji is wise!"
"Long live His Majesty!"
"All the blessed land merchants deserve to die."
"The Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is the biggest borer."
"Good kill."
"Too few people were killed."
"Whoever prevents the imperial court from killing people will be a sinner of Shengguo."
…
Ji Changsheng looked at Chao Yuntian, whose face was gradually turning pale, and said sarcastically, "Chao Yuntian, it seems that I really have not been able to stop the people from talking nonsense. When it comes to confusing right and wrong and doing perverse things, how can I compare to you?"
Chao Yuntian took a deep breath.
"Elder Ji, the people are ignorant, you are deliberately provoking..."
Ji Changsheng interrupted Chao Yuntian directly, and his voice spread far and wide: "Chao Yuntian, I never think that the people are ignorant. The people of the world are full of vigor and vitality. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. If Tongtian Chamber of Commerce wants to go against the people's will, these traitors on the execution ground today will serve as a lesson for you."
"Okay, very good."
Chao Yuntian was so angry that he laughed.
He knew that Ji Changsheng was trying to win over the hearts of the people, but to be honest, he didn't think the hearts of these people were important.
In a world where one can practice cultivation, what matters is who has the bigger fist and who has more allies.
When Ji Changsheng did this, he completely broke off relations with Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.
Originally, Chao Yuntian was somewhat wary of Ji Changsheng's background in Xuandu Temple, but now he doesn't have to worry about it at all.
"I will send a letter to the headquarters about this matter. Elder Ji, you can wait for the Xianmen investigation team to arrive." Chao Yuntian said coldly: "Elder Ji does not follow the rules, but Tongtian Chamber of Commerce does. Regarding today's incident, Tongtian Chamber of Commerce reserves all rights to investigate and strongly protests against Elder Ji's actions."
Ji Changsheng almost laughed out loud: "I'm so scared."
“I hope that after the Immortal Sect Investigation Team arrives, Elder Ji will still be so arrogant.”
Chao Yuntian snorted coldly and walked away.
Ji Changsheng is too radical in doing things, but he is not Ji Changsheng and is not that stupid.
On the surface, Ji Changsheng still cleared himself.
Even when Ji Changsheng was trying to win people's hearts just now, he never said that he was the one who killed the rulers and ministers of Sheng State.
Therefore, before the arrival of the Immortal Gate Investigation Team, Tongtian Chamber of Commerce could only protest and could not take any practical measures against the disciples of Xuandu Temple.
But when the Xianmen investigation team arrived, everything was different.
What Ji Changsheng did was like lice on a bald man's head - it was obvious.
The Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is not without background, other immortal sects also do blessed land business.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Chao Yuntian didn't believe that Xuandu Temple could cover the sky with one hand.
Looking at Chao Yuntian's receding back, Ying Hongye reminded him, "Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is getting serious about this. Changsheng, be prepared."
"I know."
Within the Sheng Kingdom court, Ji Changsheng could directly push forward without any conspiracy or intrigue.
However, once the major immortal sects send people, the enemies Ji Changsheng faces will be upgraded.
You can't act so recklessly.
Moreover, in theory, the people sent by the major immortal sects to investigate must be stronger than him and have a higher level than him, otherwise there would be no way to investigate him.
Thinking of this, Ji Changsheng sent a message to the temple master in front of Ying Hongye: "Master, the Shengguo branch of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce has been doing evil things in Shengguo and taking human lives lightly. Moreover, they are colluding with the Demon Cult, and the evidence is irrefutable. This is simply outrageous to both humans and gods. I have tried to persuade them many times, but the people of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce are too deeply possessed by the devil to be saved. I hope that the temple will send someone to investigate this matter, slay the demons and bring peace to Shengguo. I suggest that my senior sister be asked to lead the team, as she is more skilled in slaying demons and removing evil."
Ying Hongye almost knelt down to Ji Changsheng.
Tongtian Chamber of Commerce will definitely report Ji Changsheng to the higher authorities.
But it was really too harsh for Ji Changsheng to just turn the tables like that.
"Changsheng, is this really okay?"
"I think it's good."
"The master won't believe it."
"Hongye, change your mindset. Whether the master will believe it or not is not the question at all. The question is whether the master is willing to believe it."
Ying Hongye: “…”
I feel that Changsheng’s heart is really dirty.
But this kind of bad guy is really charming.
"Even if the master is willing to believe it, there must be actual evidence. Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is also a powerful force with its followers." Ying Hongye said.
Ji Changsheng said calmly: "As long as Senior Sister can lead the team to Sheng Country, with me and Senior Sister here, there will definitely be a lot of evidence. The style of our Yaoguang lineage is to do things by ourselves and have enough food and clothing."
Ying Hongye covered her face.
Your family's style is so shameless.
"Master Li can't possibly come. The Linglong Fairy Sword has made you forget that cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage are not allowed to enter Sheng Country. Master Li has already broken through the Nascent Soul stage."
Ji Changsheng smiled: "Hongye, you also said that this is the Linglong Fairy Sword Order."
"so what?"
"Fairy Linglong is a powerful figure in our Xuandu Temple. Fairy Linglong's sword order is the standard set by our Xuandu Temple. The standard set by our Xuandu Temple is used to restrain outsiders, not to restrain our own people."
Ji Changsheng's tone was calm and indifferent, which shattered Ying Hongye's three views: "People in the world must abide by the rules of our Xuandu Temple. Xuandu Temple has the final right to interpret the rules."
This is what we call the world's best value.
Ji Changsheng believed that the temple master and Li Changxi could cooperate well with him.
However, the abbot did not reply to him immediately, probably because he was busy with other things.
Ji Changsheng didn't wait for the master's reply immediately, nor did he care.
The master of the temple is the head of Xuandu Temple, the leader of the world's number one force, and he has to deal with a lot of things every day. And his cultivation cannot fall behind, otherwise the head of Xuandu Temple will never be as good as Yu Lao Mo and Huang Quan Emperor, which is a shame for the people of Xuandu Temple.
Therefore, the master of the temple has too many things to do every day, and it is definitely impossible for him to keep track of Ji Changsheng's information all the time.
Actually, it seems that my stepmother is a bit free recently.
Ji Changsheng seriously suspected that his stepmother was just watching his fun. She had been replying to his messages within seconds these past few days, which was very strange.
Logically speaking, my stepmother should be busy with many things every day.
"The abbot should be busy. Let's do our own thing first and go to Brother Cao's place."
Ji Changsheng looked at the petals of his golden lotus of merit and felt that if he worked harder, he would soon reach the late stage of the golden elixir.
Ying Hongye glanced at the execution ground.
Almost all the people have been killed.
There were still a few people who were too greedy, such as the prime minister and the minister of finance. Killing these people directly would not be enough to appease the public anger, so the kind-hearted and charitable Ji Dashanren petitioned the Emperor of Shengguo to sentence these people to death by slicing.
Now they are being tortured by the executioner.
Their wails were more beautiful to the people of Sheng State than any other heavenly music in the world.
The rising spirit of merit and virtue says it all.
Ying Hongye did not feel any sympathy for this. She just nodded and said, "Then let's go to Senior Brother Cao. But Changsheng, you are really too efficient. I can't keep up."
Somehow, Ying Hongye reached a spiritual resonance with Li Changxi.
I've never seen anyone so efficient.
She actually understood Chao Yuntian's reaction, because it was normal for Chao Yuntian to not be able to keep up with Ji Changsheng's actions.
Not to mention Chao Yuntian, even she and Cao Ziming, the two helpers who followed behind Ji Changsheng, couldn't keep up with Ji Changsheng's actions.
Only half of the day has passed.
But a lot has happened.
"The homes of these ministers were raided in the morning, and the people were killed around noon. Now we are going to Danqing Fudi to prepare compensation for the spiritual stones that the customers who bought Danqing Fudi had... Changsheng, how many things are you going to do in one day?"
It's really exaggerated.
In Ying Hongye's opinion, what Ji Changsheng did this morning could be considered efficient if he could finish it in a month.
Confiscating property, imprisonment, investigating cases, reviewing cases, beheading people, counting, storing things, petitioning, approving petitions, distributing spiritual stones...
Under normal circumstances, every matter is likely to be delayed for two or three days or even a week.
Not to mention that an emperor of Sheng State just died yesterday...
Ying Hongye followed Ji Changsheng around the whole time and felt that everything was going too fast.
If Tongtian Chamber of Commerce could keep up with this pace of action, Xuandu Temple would have lost its title as the best in the world long ago.
Ying Hongye sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Changsheng, I am willing to call you the fastest man!"
Ji Changsheng glanced at Ying Hongye.
"Why are you looking at me?" Ying Hongye was very sensitive this time and noticed something was wrong from Ji Changsheng's eyes: "Why do I feel that you have bad intentions in your eyes?"
Ji Changsheng smiled kindly: "It's okay, I will find a chance to prove it in the future."
"Prove what?"
"I'm definitely not fast!"
Ying Hongye: "? What do you mean?"
Obviously, Princess Hongye, like Senior Brother Cao, was busy with cultivation. Although she was a little more knowledgeable about the ways of the world than Senior Brother Cao, she still didn't have the extra energy to learn about love.
There was absolutely no hidden meaning in Ji Changsheng's words.
Ji Changsheng didn't explain to her either.
There is ample time.
…
Five minutes later.
A blessed place for painting.
Cao Ziming is in charge of the overall situation here.
All the residents of Danqing Fudi who are in Shengjing City have gathered together.
Wei Zhongxian's men were also rushing here, carrying the property they had just confiscated from the ministers' homes.
This was the direct reason why Ying Hongye was impressed by Ji Changsheng’s efficiency just now.
The normal procedure is to first carefully count the property of these criminal officials and then confiscate it into the national treasury.
Ji Changsheng simply omitted this process.
It was just copied from the criminal official’s home.
It was then transported to Danqing Fudi to compensate the victims.
Ying Hongye reminded: "Changsheng, doing this will make it difficult to count, and it may end up being a bad debt."
Ji Changsheng nodded: "I know."
"So you still do this?"
Ji Changsheng said calmly: "I will not do this on the spot, so that these spirit stones can flow smoothly into the national treasury. Hongye, believe it or not, these spirit stones will no longer have anything to do with the people in the end."
Ying Hongye did not refute.
"I would rather these spirit stones become a bad debt than let them feed another group of parasites. I have too much confidence in human nature. If the group of people in the Golden Palace have any way to keep the spirit stones in their own hands, they will definitely not give them to the victims. Even if they do, it will be a long tug-of-war. Moreover, from top to bottom, with layer upon layer of exploitation, in the end, the spirit stones that can fall into the hands of these people are probably only one in ten."
Ji Changsheng has seen too many things like this.
So he was too lazy to go through the normal process.
"There is one more thing. The Xianmen investigation team will probably come in the next few days. If the investigation team confiscates the spiritual stones, it will be difficult to distribute them." Ji Changsheng said dimly, "My words are still effective now. If the Xianmen investigation team comes in two days, what if they are different from what I thought and are not led by people from Xuandu Temple? There will be risks. So while my words are effective, do the good deeds first. If the Xianmen investigation team still has some shame, they can't take back the spiritual stones that have been distributed."
Ying Hongye and Cao Ziming, who had just walked over and heard these words, were both moved.
Ying Hongye: "Changsheng, you are really gentle in your bones."
Cao Ziming nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, Junior Brother Ji, no matter who is in the Xianmen Investigation Team, as long as I am here, I will definitely not let them take back the spirit stones we have already distributed."
"Well, Brother Cao, let them line up and take their certificates. According to the actual difference, come forward to collect the spiritual stones for compensation at a 1:1 ratio. We came to Sheng Country for the purpose of killing people, but what we are doing now is the purpose."
"Junior Brother Ji, you have great love in the world!" Cao Ziming was convinced.
Especially after he saw the heartfelt smiles on the faces of the residents of Danqing Fudi, his admiration for Junior Brother Ji grew even more.
He is doing chivalrous things, and his fellow brothers and sisters in Danqing Pavilion are also doing so.
But Cao Ziming knew that even if they encountered such a thing, confiscating the properties of the criminal officials and confiscating the spiritual stones and putting them into the national treasury would be the ultimate outcome of their chivalrous deeds.
The heroes will not deal with the aftermath personally.
Ji Changsheng Club.
Junior Brother Ji is not a typical chivalrous hero.
But seeing the smiles on these people's faces, Cao Ziming confirmed that such chivalrous behavior was more meaningful.
Starting today, "Danqing Blessed Land" will be renamed "Huanyan Blessed Land".
"I wish I had thousands of mansions to shelter all the poor people in the world and make them happy!"
This sentence was engraved by Ji Changsheng at the entrance of "Huanyan Blessed Land".
With the righteous spirit of Senior Brother Cao, the sky above Sheng Country shines brightly.
To see one's true nature and express one's aspirations through poetry! Before he came to Shengguo, he had said that this was what he wanted to do.
He never wavered.
Always on the road!
