Chapter 265 Cutting the Golden Crow

Wang Ming sat on the table, surrounded by his colleagues and friends.

Hearing Li Shan's angry shout, he raised his eyelids, drank the wine in the glass slowly, and then said slowly.

"It turns out he is Prince Qing. When will the guards in front of the palace be able to judge the Ministry of Rites?"

The people on the side remained silent, neither supporting Wang Ming nor Li Shan.

"Li is not talking about his official position, but as a descendant of the royal family and a human being, he will send Master Wang to reincarnation to wash away his sins!"

Li Shan said coldly: "Taizu's last words are that no matter whoever colludes with demons and demons, he is guilty of treason and must be punished in a group!"

"What a big hat. I will write to His Majesty tomorrow..."

Wang Ming said slowly: "Prince Qing colluded with gods from all over the world, promised huge profits, and intended to rebel! A single jade slip is a capital offense for treason against a great scholar. If dozens of gods sign their names, Prince Qing is really treason!"

The head of the Department of Certification and Charity of the Ministry of Rites is only a fifth-rank official and cannot even go to court.

Wang Ming was a third-grade scholar, but for this position he seemed to be undermining his talents.

However, the Secretary of Heshan is in charge of good deeds and virtuous affairs. Anyone who wants to be granted the title of City God must first inquire through the Secretary of Heshan.

Low position but weight!

Wang Ming has been the head of the Nuclear and Goods Department for decades. He has been awarded the title of City God, no less than a hundred of them, and has close relationships with aristocratic families from all over the world. It is not a simple matter to report to Prince Qing's Mansion.

"A cynic only knows how to mess around!"

Li Shan was born in the military and was too lazy to talk to Wang Ming. He just dodged and punched Wang Ming.

"How dare you, the warrior barbarian, insult my famous religion!"

A flash of light flashed in Wang Ming's hand, and a scroll of bamboo slips appeared, and he opened it with a clatter.

Hundreds of writings flew out from the bamboo slips and formed a formation according to mysterious laws, trapping Li Shan...

"What? Since you are a lackey of the demon clan, why don't you let others scold you?"

Li Shan mocked, and the long sword condensed with golden light in the martial arts exterior scene fell into his hand and turned into a magic weapon. With one sword, he chopped hundreds of writings into pieces.

Wang Ming's expression remained unchanged, he flicked his fingers together, and hundreds more writings flew out from the bamboo slips and fell into the formation, greatly increasing its power.

"Your Majesty, admit your mistake to my famous sect today, and there will be no further investigation!"

While speaking, he continued to cast spells and blessing formations, like layers of fishing nets, wrapping Li Shan in them.

Fighting with bare hands, martial arts masters are far superior to those of the same level. However, due to the limitation of longevity, few people who are proficient in formation restrictions fall into it and can only break through it with brute force.

"Death to the cynic!"

Li Shan roared angrily, turned his body into a sword, broke through several formations in an instant, and stabbed Wang Ming's head as fast as thunder.

Wang Ming saw the sword light stabbing him, but his body remained motionless.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

A calm voice came from the side, and a spiritual light appeared in front of Wang Ming.

boom!

Li Shan's sword hit the aura shield, and there was a loud noise, and the building and ship shook.

"Excellent swordsmanship! The prince is talented and will hopefully have the true meaning of martial arts in the future. Unfortunately, he is too impatient and hinders his understanding. It is better to read more Confucian classics, cultivate one's moral character, and calm down to control anger!"

"As for cynicism, let's not talk about it in the future. The deans of the four major academies are all great Confucians."

After the voice fell, an old man appeared next to Wang Ming. He had snow-white beard and hair and a long scholar's shirt.

The Confucian Courtmaster of Jixia Academy was the second-grade Confucian scholar Ji Mu.

The children of the Cui family studied in order to become officials, so they all chose Jixia Academy, which has been intertwined with the academy for hundreds of thousands of years.

Even though the Cui family was in decline, the patriarch still invited Xuegongyuan to watch the ceremony.

Wang Ming was born in Jixia Academy, and his portrait still hangs in the library of the academy to inspire subsequent students. Therefore, Ji Muzhi would not allow Wang Ming to die no matter what. Li Shan's cynical tone gave him an excuse to take action.

Wang Ming stood up and bowed and saluted: "Excuse me, sir, students only know how to study and govern the people, and their killings are far inferior to the prince's."

"You are stupid by nature. If you are distracted by other things, how will you have the chance to establish your mind and actions?"

Ji Muzhi seemed to be lecturing his disciples, but also seemed to be mocking the warriors, saying: "To govern the world, we must not rely on killing, but on benevolence and etiquette..."

Phew!

The guests on the boat were watching the show quietly, and suddenly laughter came out, attracting everyone's attention.

Zhou Yi smiled brightly and said nonchalantly: "Chen Ying, when you said you were copying books to nourish your mind, do you know why you chose Taoism instead of Confucianism?"

"Why?"

Chen Ying said very cooperatively: "How powerful Confucianism is, the four great palaces are all first-class!"

"If you read too many Confucian classics, you will float in the air, thinking that you are superior to others, overlooking all living beings and pointing out the country, but they are just some sour scholars."

Zhou Yi said: "It's okay to just pretend on weekdays. I'm afraid that if you take it seriously, one day you will say this to His Majesty and be slapped to death."

"Haha! So that's it, Brother Zhou is the savior!"

Chen Ying was so dramatic that he couldn't control himself for a moment. He turned to his father and said, "Father, when you came to court, did you tell His Majesty that Confucianism governs the world and that all warriors are barbarians?"

"..."

Chen Shilang's face turned dark and he didn't say anything. He was thinking about how many kinds of torture he would prepare when he went back.

Ji Muzhi looked calm and said with a smile, "I wonder who your little friend is?"

Of course Ji Muzhi knew Zhou Yi. After all, he was a well-known alchemy master in Luojing, but he was from the famous Confucian sect. He believed in governing the country by "name", that is, dividing people into three, six or nine classes based on principles, inheritance, and blood. As long as people in each class perform their duties, the world will be governed naturally.

Zhou Yi's origin is not a secret. The mud-legged refugees from Hengyang belong to the lowest class among the famous sects and cannot be regarded by the great Confucians.

"Don't call me a poor friend, you don't deserve it!"

Zhou Yi said to the new head of the Cui family: "Brother Yuan, why should we let the dogs in at such a great banquet?"

Wow!

The building suddenly became lively. They were pointing their noses and scolding, and they all looked at Cui Yuan, how to deal with Zhou Yi.

The Cui family has a deep relationship with Jixia Academy. When His Majesty dies, the Cui family can study and become officials again, and it will take hundreds of years to restore the heritage of a thousand-year-old family.

"Brother Zhou is right, it's my fault that I didn't pay attention."

Cui Yuan said to the people on the left and right: "What are you doing? Let the dogs in and disturb the guests, but you still don't beat them out!"

"you……"

The Cui family members pointed at Cui Yuan with expressions of disbelief on their faces. They wanted to curse, but they were intimidated by family ethics.

When Ji Muzhi heard this, his smile suddenly turned gloomy, and he snorted coldly and was about to speak.

"You demon clan lackey, get out of Cui's house!"

Cui Yongnian shouted loudly, waved his hand and used dozens of spells to attack Ji Muzhi.

"Master Cui, you are crazy!"

Ji Muzhi's expression changed drastically, his aura flickered, and he dodged most of the spells. Because he didn't expect Cui Yongnian to attack, he was caught off guard and was still hit.

puff!

The gown was torn and blood was vomiting from the mouth.

Ji Muzhi didn't dare to say anything and turned into light and fled away.

No one could have predicted such a change.

Wang Ming reacted the fastest. Just as he was about to turn into light and leave, dozens of high-grade magic weapons came over.

"Get into formation!"

The bamboo slips shattered directly, and thousands of words surrounded Wang Ming, turning into a protective formation.

Boom boom boom!

Dozens of pieces of mana bombarded each other in turn, and only half of them had passed before the formation restrictions were shattered.

A fiery red halberd penetrated Wang Ming's chest and was nailed to the deck.

Wang Ming pinched the spell with his hands and tried to break away from the halberd. He felt a blazing flame flowing through his meridians, burning his internal organs and making it impossible to perform any spell.

Zhou Yi waved his hand, and dozens of magical weapons fell into his cuffs, and said to his colleagues and friends at Wang Ming's table.

"Pindao serves in the Demon Slaying Department. Doesn't this count as overstepping his authority?"

Colleagues from the Department of Nuclear Science and Health and Confucian friends nodded repeatedly and said.

"It doesn't matter, Wang Ming deserves it!"

"The demon clan is determined to kill me, and it would be a pity for people like Wang Ming to rape me to death!"

"It is written on this jade slip that Wang Ming canonized the Wujiang Water God. He is actually an alien demon and should be punished!"

"And the Qi Family City God turned out to be the son of a dragon! Taizu's law says that the land of the City God cannot be sealed unless it is a human race..."

"..."

Many of the things recorded on the jade slips can be proven true or false with just one check. What Wang Ming did is irrefutable.

Li Shan carried his halberd and walked over with Wang Ming behind him, smiling.

"Zhenzhen Zhou, do you really not want to find a Taoist partner? If there is no suitable match in Prince Qing's Palace, or Prince Huai's Palace in Chu Prince's Palace, I can guarantee the match!"

Zhou Yi cupped his hands and said: "I have troubled you, I am thinking about you. I am a Taoist who devotes himself to cultivation and has no thoughts of finding a Taoist partner for the time being."

"Double cultivation is also a spiritual practice, you know. The royal family has the dragon and phoenix secret code, which can increase the power of dual cultivation and realize the yin and yang avenue..."

Li Shan tried to persuade him for a while, but when he saw that Zhou Yi really had no intention of doing so, he had to give up and said, "I'll send this guy to your majesty. I'll return your halberd to you in the evening, and then we'll go to Chunfeng Tower to drink together!"

"You can have this!"

Zhou Yi had heard of the reputation of Prince Qing, and he was also a famous prodigal son in Luo Jing when he was young.

After Li Shan left, everyone else looked for reasons to resign.

At this point, it was difficult to continue the banquet. Fortunately, only Wang Ming was present on the list in the jade slip.

Zhou Yi said goodbye to Cui Yuan and left in the clouds.

…

Dragon Palace.

Golden Dragon Hall.

There is a huge water mirror standing in the middle, and the scene played on it is exactly what will happen on the water surface.

Dragon Lord Cui Yuan said: "Everyone, what do you think?"

The group of monsters nodded, and just one Wang Ming made Jixia Academy, Prince Qing's Mansion, and the Cui family become enemies. There were dozens of people on the list, many of whom were middle-ranking and powerful people from aristocratic families.

"This is just the beginning!"

Zhou Yi said: "Everyone just wait for the riots, and then..."

The words have not yet finished.

Boom!

The sound was like thunder, the ground shook, and the entire Dragon Palace trembled.

Cui Yuan roared: "Come here, what happened?"

A shrimp soldier ran in from outside the palace, panicked and shouted loudly.

"Mr. Long, there is an old man from outside, talking about picking off dragon scales and cramping dragon tendons..."

"You are so brave. Where did the wild Taoist come from to insult my demon clan?"

Jin Jiuxiao said angrily: "Let him in, I haven't eaten anyone in recent times, so my mouth is clear!"

"Brother Jin, calm down!"

Cui Yuan asked: "Who is that Taoist's name and what does he look like?"

"He calls himself a pure man, with white beard and white hair, nothing unusual except for the strange weapon in his hand."

The shrimp soldier raised his big pliers and said: "A pair of shining golden scissors, with the formation outside, it can break through dozens of layers with just one cut..."

Yiqing?

Golden scissors?

Jin Jiuxiao's face turned pale, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly held his stomach and said, "Jin has not been eating well these days and is feeling unwell. Let's take a step forward!"

Before he finished speaking, there was another loud noise.

boom!

The Golden Dragon Palace shook greatly, and if it weren't for the formation's restraint, it would have fallen apart long ago.

"Ao Lie, get out!"

"I will kill you today!"

The sound rolled like thunder and spread into the Golden Dragon Palace. It was none other than the rumored murderer Yiqing.

Two wings sprouted from Jin Jiuxiao's back. With a slight flap, he was about to turn into an escaping light and leave. However, he sensed heavy restrictions and could not use the escaping technique at all.

"Ao Lie, what are you doing? You still haven't let go of the restrictions!"

"Brother Jin said not long ago that when that Taoist comes, he will eat us alive?"

Ao Lie sneered, then said with a heavy face: "The matter has been exposed, and I can't stay in this Dragon Palace. You are all clones. Even if you are killed, you are not afraid, but my real dragon body cannot die!"

"What does the Dragon King mean?"

Wu Tianxing's face was calm. It was indeed as Ao Lie said, it would not matter if he gave up a clone.

"I beg you to use your clones to resist the murderer and cover me to escape from the domain."

Cui Yuan said earnestly: "This Luoshui Dragon Palace has been passed down for seven generations and accumulated for 150,000 years. All of it belongs to you!"

The Luoshui real dragon came to Yunzhou from outside the domain 150,000 years ago and established the Dragon Palace, which was passed down to Ao Lie's seventh generation of real dragons. Although the history is far less than the group of monsters at the banquet, the wealth of the Dragon Palace is known to the world. In exchange for a clone, it is definitely a big profit.

Cui Yuan looked at Yiqixian and said, "How do you think, fellow Daoist?"

"It's just a clone, which can be easily cultivated."

Zhou Yi nodded and said, "The list has been spread, and the Yiqing villain is powerless to save the situation. You can rest assured, I will secretly manipulate and push King Yan to the throne!"

The monsters thought quickly and nodded in agreement.

Only Jin Jiuxiao had an opinion and said, "My physical body was cut off, and my soul is nurtured in the ancestor's tomb. This is the only clone that can walk outside. If it dies, will it sit in the tomb for decades?"

Cui Yuan waved his hand to disperse the formation and said, "In this case, Brother Jin can leave, but the treasures of the Dragon Palace will not be divided!"

Jin Jiuxiao sensed the dispersal of the restriction, his face was slightly hesitant, and his wings fluttered and disappeared.

The monsters had no opinion. With one less person to share the benefits, they gained more.

Cui Yuan stood up and said, "Everyone go and stop them, I will go to collect the treasure house!"

"Don't worry, Lord Dragon, you still need to make a blood oath!"

Wu Tianxing opened his mouth and spit out a golden feather, saying, "This is the feather of the Demon King. I swear with this as a sacrifice. If we can't get the treasure of the Dragon Palace, you will suffer the pain of death and soul destruction!"

Cui Yuan's face changed, and he was about to speak when a few more roars came.

He gritted his teeth, spit out the real dragon's heart blood, and swore a blood oath on the golden feather.

The demons were relieved when they saw this. They knew the shamelessness of the demon fairy from their own actions, and they had to be on guard.

"Don't worry, Lord Dragon, you still need to make a blood oath!"

Wu Tianxing opened his mouth and spit out a golden feather, saying, "This is the feather of the Demon King. I swear with this as a sacrifice. If we can't get the treasure of the Dragon Palace, you will suffer the pain of death and soul destruction!"

Cui Yuan's face changed, and he was about to speak when a few more roars came.

He gritted his teeth, spit out the blood of the real dragon, and swore a blood oath on the golden feather.

The demons were relieved when they saw this. They knew the shamelessness of the demon fairy from their own actions, so they had to be on guard.

"Don't worry, Lord Dragon, you still need to swear a blood oath!"

Wu Tianxing spit out a golden feather and said, "This is the feather of the demon king. I swear with this as a sacrifice. If we can't get the treasure of the Dragon Palace, you will die!"
