Chapter 345: Recovering the Country

Jun Lu suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and he felt a little incredible.

He had been in this country for ten years, and he had never seen anyone who could fight him undefeated.

After all, the spiritual energy here was thin, and it was simply not enough to maintain the daily practice of a Taoist master in the fourth realm.

It was just that Jun Lu's method was special, and he could steadily improve his cultivation with the spirit of the kingly way. He had just been here for many years and was loyal to King Jin.

The illusionary light intertwined, and Jun Lu felt that the word "righteousness" in front of him became bigger and bigger.

It contained natural righteousness, which swept away the magic power in his body in one fell swoop.

In an instant, the word "righteousness" knocked Jun Lu's entire body out.

Immediately, the magic power that he had cultivated for hundreds of years was vigorously released from his body, and Jun Lu exuded a wild temperament.

He seemed to be the king of all beasts in the mountains and forests, with sharp claws suddenly spread, and the cowhide cloak on his body also grew gorgeous colorful feathers.

Faintly, one could hear the roars of thousands of beasts, as if they were coming to see Junlu.

Junlu's body was wild, and two coral-like dragon horns grew on his head, as if to indicate that he was noble and inviolable.

"Half-step Yangshen Zhenjun..."

Zhao Yuan took a deep breath when he saw this.

He thought that Junlu would only be at the peak of the fourth realm, but he didn't expect that he had already stepped into the door of Yangshen Zhenjun.

His soul had completely changed from yin to pure yang, and he was not afraid of his own righteousness.

In Xie Que's memory, Zhao Yuan could tell that Junlu had practiced a true Dharma body called "Four No Phases".

The so-called true Dharma body is different from ordinary Dharma bodies.

It can change the body structure through the power of thoughts, and can completely change its own shape, structure and even internal organs.

Just like Junlu now, compared with human form, it seems more like a beast.

Not only that, as the thoughts are infected by the transformed creatures, those who practice this kind of Dharma body will eventually change their life form.

Lose everything that humans have, Taoism, magic power, supernatural powers and even wisdom.

Zhao Yuan can feel that at his current level, he is definitely not an opponent of such a half-step Yangshen Zhenjun.

But he is determined and has no fear even in the face of death.

Not to mention, the Danqing in his hand is transformed by heaven's will, recognizing Zhao Yuan's thoughts and the righteousness in his body.

He just raised the Danqing sword in his hand, and a breeze suddenly blew, making Zhao Yuan's righteousness stronger.

Around Junlu, thousands of wild beasts roared, and in the endless bloody air, thousands of wild beasts were seen slowly coming from behind him.

These beasts are not entities, but Junlu's thoughts.

They fell one after another and kept rushing towards Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan kept his heart curtain and used his fingers to move the sword.

But the righteous energy continued to shoot out, and instantly turned thousands of wild beasts into starlight and disappeared.

Junlu's rapid figure was like a black bat passing by, as ethereal as a ghost, and it was behind Zhao Yuan in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Yuan's figure was majestic and motionless, and his heart was as calm as water.

But the painting in his hand seemed to be raging, and the righteous energy was pouring down like the Milky Way, and the sky was endless!

Zhao Yuan used stillness to control movement, and the blood and the power formed by the righteous energy turned into a vortex.

This was his way of using Xie Que, but it was fundamentally different.

Junlu, whose claws were already at Zhao Yuan's neck, felt as if his whole body was being pulled by the Yuan magnetic force, and he could not move forward any more.

Suddenly, Zhao Yuan's momentum rose.

His upper body muscles suddenly bulged fiercely, and his body was more than twice as tall.

Junlu, who was more than ten feet tall, had just reached Zhao Yuan's chest at this moment.

"This attitude, convince others with reason!"

With Zhao Yuan's roar, the righteousness around him suddenly erupted like a volcano.

The white-gold righteousness suddenly changed its normal state and became as red as blood.

Even the cold iron chain that merged with Zhao Yuan was filled with blood and became extremely red.

Zhao Yuan clamped the Danqing Sword with the iron chain in front of his left wrist, and then swung the long cold iron chain in his hand.

"The mountains and rivers are all red!"

During the fierce battle, the whole sky turned red, and the blood covered the sky.

The iron chain fell in front of Jun Lu, and he widened his eyes, as if he couldn't believe this scene.

Zhao Yuan, who was extremely weak just now, now burst out with such a terrifying attack than himself.

The iron chain pulled the righteousness of the world, and broke the dragon horn on Jun Lu's head with a bang.

The next moment, blood splattered three feet, and a huge crack was drawn out of Jun Lu's body.

Although the endless thoughts covered Junlu's body like a garment, the iron chain, under the double blessing of blood and righteousness, still broke Junlu's Dharma body.

But Junlu still looked cold, without the slightest fear.

In the past thousand years, he had seen more than one Yangshen Zhenjun.

But he still escaped from their hands, and even got a little advantage.

In his opinion, Zhao Yuan had used some secret method of burning his life to reach this point.

If it was a gift from heaven, he would never believe it.

But he didn't expect that even if Junlu's mana was at its limit, it was still not enough to resist Zhao Yuan's attack.

Suddenly, even if Junlu had a magical secret method, he didn't risk his life to fight.

As Zhao Yuan flipped his hands, the iron chain danced again, shooting in front of Junlu, breaking up his magical power.

Jun Lu suddenly felt a little impossible.

But what greeted him were two chains again.

In an instant, under Zhao Yuan's brutal offensive, most of Junlu's thoughts were wiped out, and he fell into a deep sleep involuntarily.

From then on, Zhao Yuanfang stopped his attack.

He was a little surprised at the improvement in his combat power, but he was more pleased with the hope.

This hope is not revenge.

But to recast Da Cai in his mind.

He didn't care about Junlu's sleeping body, but restored his original form.

He took Li Hongyi, who was cowering in the corner, protected by his awe-inspiring righteousness, and was not injured just now, and headed south.

Along the way, Zhao Yuan was blocked by Jin soldiers again.

But for him, this is not an unsolvable problem.

By waving his hand, he was not harming the lives of those golden soldiers.

Instead, he swept to the side of the road and continued southward.

After the news of Junlu's disappearance came out, King Jin also immediately sent an order to shrink the Jin soldiers.

Zhao Yuan also knew that the Kingdom of Jin had lost Junlu's protection.

Now he is just a clay Bodhisattva, unable to even save himself.

With the help of Junlu's strength and intimidation, many wizards were forced to submit to the Kingdom of Jin in the past few years.

And these wizards are enough for King Jin to drink a pot.

…

After returning to Dacai, what Zhao Yuan saw was the numb faces of the people.

After King Jin controlled the territory of Da Cai.

Many Jin nobles moved to the south where the climate and temperature were more suitable.

In Dacai today, Jin people are first-class citizens.

People from foreign countries are second-class citizens.

Those from overseas, Vietnamese slaves, and those from the West were third-class citizens.

The people of Da Cai are only worthy of being reduced to fourth-class citizens.

Although the current Emperor Cai is still of Cai descent.

But most of the civil and military officials with real power were controlled by the Jin nobles.

While they continue to learn from Da Cai, they need to return to the Jin Kingdom headquarters every year.

This was the choice made by King Jin to ensure that he would not be assimilated.

When Zhao Yuan saw this, he could only sigh deeply.

The people were indifferent, and corruption continued in Da Cai under the leadership of the Jin Dynasty.

The finances of almost every county were in chaos, and people often starved to death in the rivers and roads.

Dragging two iron ropes, Zhao Yuan quickly attracted the attention of soldiers in a northern city.

They originally wanted to capture Zhao Yuan for questioning, but as soon as they got close, a Jin soldier recognized Zhao Yuan's appearance.

After the King of Jin captured Zhao Yuan alive, he often publicly humiliated Zhao Yuan in the army.

This also made Zhao Yuan's appearance recorded by many Jin soldiers.

Since Zhao Yuan did not stop all the way south, his speed was not slow either.

This has also led to the fact that the news of Junlu has not yet spread in Dacai.

The Jin people and the people from other countries still have a high and mighty attitude.

But Zhao Yuan believes that with his return, Da Cai will eventually return to his heyday, and even reach a higher level.

Not only that, those people from outside the country will also be expelled by themselves, allowing the Cai people to regain their land.

After the Jin soldier recognized Zhao Yuan, he pulled his companions and retreated together.

Although he is just a little soldier, it does not mean that he is a fool.

The fact that Zhao Yuan appears here means that he has surrendered to Dajin, or that something has happened in the Kingdom of Jin.

But Zhao Yuan was still in ragged clothes, with two thick iron cables extending from his wrists.

It was obvious that he was not surrendering to the Kingdom of Jin.

This soldier remembered that King Jin had promised Zhao Yuan the position of prime minister.

Obviously, there is something wrong with the Kingdom of Jin.

Zhao Yuan was not cold towards these soldiers and had no intention of revenge.

The real enemy has always been King Jin.

But Zhao Yuan also knew that Junlu had gone, and the current Jinwang could not protect himself. He would suffer the consequences without having to take action himself.

The most urgent task is to wipe out the world and restore Qingming to Cai!

Walking on the street, Zhao Yuan also felt that the iron rope on his wrist was a little conspicuous.

He simply borrowed some money from Li Hongyi, changed into a loose robe, and hid it between his sleeves.

Half a month later, the two returned to Dacai Capital.

The current emperor is the youngest son born to Empress Xu, but he is only seven or eight years old and does not understand the rules at all.

His elder brother was the prince, and the King of Jin originally wanted to support him as Emperor Cai.

But because he was too old and knew the pros and cons, he was killed by the King of Gold.

The current Emperor Cai is too young and has little power.

Their daily activities, diet, and daily life are also arranged by the Jin people.

The role he played was just to alleviate civil conflicts in Da Cai.

After all, the Jin people are few in number, and there are not many soldiers. They all rely on a Junlu to support them.

If the whole people of Da Cai rebelled, the Jin people would also be a little overwhelmed.

This was the last resort.

After Zhao Yuan arrived in the capital, he did not go straight to the palace.

Instead, he found his old brother, He Mingtao, who once belonged to the Thirteen Yuetian Riders.

After Zhao Yuan completely hid Yancheng, his twelve men were dismissed.

All of them were made marquis and prime minister by Emperor Cai.

He Mingtao was so powerful that he was named the new hussar general.

It's just that after the Jin people unified Da Cai without any blood, they didn't make any big move on Da Cai's officialdom.

Instead, a large number of Jin people were sent and they were gradually replaced after learning.

As his name suggests, Tao people know how to keep a low profile and keep a low profile.

He had seen the miracles created by Zhao Yuan, and he had been playing dumb all these years.

He was a military officer in an idle position, and the Jin people deprived him of his military power, but they did not touch his people.

He Mingtao had been waiting, waiting for Zhao Yuan to return.

After seeing Zhao Yuan, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Within three days, his tears turned into blood, and he told Zhao Yuan all the things that had happened over the years.

At that time, He Mingtao, as a general of the cavalry and a minister in front of the emperor, was qualified to enter and leave the palace.

According to him, the concubines of Emperor Cai were also insulted and tortured to death by the Jin soldiers.

The descendants of the royal family of Da Cai were almost the same as their predecessors, and they were all the same.

Among these people, naturally, Queen Xu was also included.

Queen Xu was only in her early thirties at the time, and because of proper maintenance, her appearance remained the same.

Three months after the son of King Jin entered the palace of Da Cai, Queen Xu became pregnant again.

Then she committed suicide.

Hearing this, Zhao Yuan clenched his fists and took a deep breath.

Not only that, the emperor and the crown prince were tied around their necks by the King of Jin with ropes, and led all the way to the tablets of the King of Jin's ancestors, and asked them to kowtow to the ancestors of the Jin people.

On that day, thousands of Confucian scholars among the people of the capital jumped into the water and died.

...

After listening to He Mingtao's story of what he had seen over the years.

Zhao Yuan exhaled a strong breath of turbid air, as if to exhale the injustice in his heart.

After telling He Mingtao that Junlu was defeated by him and disappeared.

He Mingtao was so happy that he cried, drank blood, and was determined to restore the Great Cai Dynasty.

At this time, Zhao Yuan actually found that He Mingtao also had a great spirit in his body.

Although it was weak, there was also a seed.

Under his teaching, He Mingtao quickly mastered the use of this great spirit.

Later, under He Mingtao's introduction, Zhao Yuan met the leader of the current Restoration Party, Cai Ningrui.

He was the uncle of the previous emperor, the most senior member of the royal family, and the most qualified person to ascend the throne.

Zhao Yuan told him that Junlu was gone and the Jin Kingdom was in chaos.

After he told him his identity, Cai Ningrui was extremely surprised.

Cai Ningrui was about the same age as Zhao Yuan, but he admired Zhao Yuan very much.

Zhao Yuan was not familiar with him, but Cai Ningrui knew all of Zhao Yuan's deeds.

He was the King of Wei, and his fiefdom was far away from the capital, so he had never met Zhao Yuan in person.

But he was still upset that the previous emperor did not make Zhao Yuan a king of the opposite sex and gave him the title of general.

Now that Zhao Yuan had escaped from years of humiliation, he also sighed that good people have their own blessings.

In the following three months, Cai Ningrui launched uprisings in many counties and cities across the country.

At this time, the Jin nobles who got the news also began to evacuate Da Cai rapidly.

Half a year later, Cai Ningrui took control of the world again.

Although the national strength is weak now because of years of plunder.

But Cai Ningrui also intends to move forward and is not disappointed.

The original little emperor had great psychological problems due to his growth.

Zhao Yuan found an old Confucian scholar to help him.

After Cai Ningrui ascended the throne, he wanted to appoint Zhao Yuan as prime minister.

But Zhao Yuan refused.

His heart was not in the court.

Zhao Yuan knew that he was just like this because he was loyal to Da Cai and loyal to the country and the people instead of the emperor.

Cai Ningrui knew what torture Zhao Yuan had suffered in the Jin Kingdom, but he didn't force it.

Now Zhao Yuan has no relatives in his family, but he lives freely.

He and He Mingtao found a small town and set up a library to teach children to read.

But he didn't expect that after his reputation was exposed.

Countless Confucian scholars flocked to him, all wanting to be his disciples.

Zhao Yuan knew that what Da Cai lacked now was a group of loyal and righteous people who were both civil and military.

He accepted all these Confucian scholars.

He also expanded the library and changed it to "Confucianism"!

Confucian scholars must be both loyal and righteous.

The so-called Confucianism means that only those who are both loyal and righteous can win the world.
