"The Way of the Emperor has great benefits, but at the same time, it also has great obstacles. The biggest obstacle is the Emperor's Mind Trick. The so-called Emperor's Mind Trick is actually the Inner Demon of the Way of the Emperor. When a person who practices the Way of the Emperor starts to figure out the Emperor's Mind Trick, he will be possessed by the Devil. In this life, he will never achieve the Advanced Level of the Way of the Emperor!"
"There is such a thing? Doesn't that mean that Yan Yuntian will never achieve the Advanced Level of the Way of the Emperor in this life?" Zhou Bao said with a strange expression.
"That's why the Divine Wind Palace will let him be the candidate of the Human Emperor, because he will never be able to become the Human Emperor in this life!"
"Yan Yuntian should not know about this!" Zhou Bao lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"Do you think he will know?" Green Spirit sneered. "But you, now that you know this, are you interested in the Way of the Emperor? The place of Nine Dragons convergency, the heaven-defying fate, and the Immortal Palace behind you. The Way of the Emperor is simply designed for you! "
"No, what I hate the most are those who think they are the best in the world. Those who practice the Way of the Emperor are all like that. I don't want to become such a person, so I will not practice the Way of the Emperor!" Zhou Bao said firmly.
"Good, very good. You can stick to your original heart and never be swayed in the face of powerful temptations. This is the state of mind that a practitioner should have. You have already understood this at such a young age. It's really good. Your future is boundless!"
"Come on, stick to your original heart? Just say that I am stubborn!" Zhou Bao did not appreciate the compliment at all. He laughed and scolded, "But then again, this time the Immortal Palace really spent a lot to win me over. They even gave me the Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique!"
"A storm is brewing. Boy, you are now in the game. Do you think it's possible to escape?"
"I know I'm in the game. I used to be a chess piece, but now, the chess players can't move me anymore. They want me to be the chess player, but I don't have the time for that. I want to occupy a latrine pit in this game. No matter how they play, they have to go around me. I'll f * cking piss them off!"
"Hahahaha, yes, yes, it makes sense, it makes sense. Let's piss them off, piss them off!" Green Spirit also laughed. "Boy, you're interesting, really f * cking interesting!"
"Alright, this matter ends here. I won't enter the game, nor will I be automatically eliminated. This is already someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with us. I'd better do my own thing now!"
"Well, it's time to prepare to enter the Azure Secret Area. It's a pleasant surprise that you've got the Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique. It's also one of the 3,000 Great Ways. It's basically impossible for you to practice it successfully without hundreds of years. But I have a way to help you achieve the Basic Level of this technique in a short time and condense it into the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Instrument!"
"What's the way?"
"There should be enough Primordial Yang Qi in the Azure Secret Area to help you achieve the Basic Level of the Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique. You just need to look for it carefully!"
"That's good. We can only stay in Taiyuan Heaven for a month, but I have the Air-frozen Bead now, which can help us stay in the Azure Secret Area for a long time. If we're lucky, you should be able to practice the Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique to the Basic Level!"
"Well, the Azure Secret Area is the most important thing for us now. Let's talk about other things after we come back. Maybe things will change after we come out!"
Indeed, this time he entered the Azure Secret Area to meditate on the mysteries of the Fiery Eyes. He estimated that it would take at least half a year. Now that he had obtained the Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique, God knew how long he would stay in there. After such a long time, things would definitely change. As for the result, he was not in the mood to know.
Now that he had decided not to touch the bullshit Way of the Emperor, it was also a good choice to hide in the Azure Secret Area at this critical juncture, so that no one would bother him again. Thump!
Thump! Thump!
After several knocks on the door, Zhou Bao moved his fingertips and the door suddenly opened. A maidservant in palace dress walked up with a wooden tray in her hand.
"Fuma, you didn't have lunch at noon. Her Highness was afraid that you would be hungry, so she asked me to bring you lunch!" The maidservant said softly, looking at Zhou Bao with timidity in her eyes.
She was one of the maidservants accompanying Yan Yunfei to her wedding. Yan Yunfei was one of the most distinguished princesses of the Jin, so her wedding was naturally of a very high level. There were hundreds of maidservants accompanying her. On the day of the wedding, even Zhou Bao almost fainted when he saw so many people. How could he feed so many people?
Fortunately, Zhou Bao had made a small fortune before. After sweeping away the Cool Breeze Gang and the grassland tribes, the Anyuan Store was on the right track, and he had a lot of money. In addition, Yan Yuntian had given him a lot of money in order to win over this new expert. Therefore, Zhou Bao was quite well-off. Although money could make the world go round, many hardware conditions could not keep up.
His Wuyang Region used to be a wasteland. Although it had improved a little, it was impossible to bring all the people bestowed by the Jin to the Wuyang Region. On the one hand, there were too many people, and on the other hand, there was no place to live. Therefore, Zhou Bao asked Yan Yunfei to choose more than 20 capable servants to come with them, and the little maidservant in front of him was one of them.
Although the people brought by Yan Yunfei were all from the palace and were usually arrogant, when facing Zhou Bao, who had almost demolished the Mingyi School, they could not have any other thoughts except fear. Although Zhou Bao had been very gentle to them these days and was not as fierce as the rumors said, he was now notorious. Therefore, when these little maidservants and eunuchs saw him, they still looked timid. Zhou Bao was very helpless about this.
"Put it down!" Looking at the timid little maidservant, Zhou Bao waved his hand and asked her to put down the food. "What? Is there anything else?"
"Her Royal Highness Princess Heyang is here!" The little maidservant said timidly, "She is chatting with Her Royal Highness!"
Princess Heyang Yan Yunyan!
Zhou Bao slightly raised his eyebrows, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. With his current strength and spiritual mind, it was impossible to hide the presence of a few more people in the mansion from him. He had also dealt with Yan Yunyan Yunyan, so he could easily recognize that it was Princess Heyang Yan Yunyan who appeared in his mansion. He did not have a good impression of Yan Yunyan Yan Yunyan, but when he thought of Yan Yunfei, a delicate princess who married him and was brought to such a desolate place, he realized that he was not a man who was good at getting along with women. She was alone here, surrounded by palace maidservants, and it was difficult to find someone to talk to. Although Princess Heyang Yan Yunyan had some bad intentions, there was finally someone here who could talk to Yan Yunfei and relieve her boredom. Therefore, Zhou Bao did not care. In fact, he did not want to meet Yan Yunyan at all.
Therefore, he just nodded and said, "Princess Heyang is here. That's good!" After that, he did not say anything else. The little maidservant stood there in a daze and did not know what to say.
"What? Is there something else?" Seeing that the little maidservant did not leave, Zhou Bao could not help but frown. Did Yan Yunyan have something to talk to him about?
"The princess asked me to tell Your Excellency that she will go to Jingtan Temple with Princess Heyang to burn incense tomorrow morning!"
"Jingtan Temple to burn incense?" Zhou Bao raised his eyebrows. He knew about Jingtan Temple. It was built at the foot of Jilei Mountain by the refugees of the Wuyang Region.
Zhou Bao's Wuyang Region was located in the bitter cold northwest. Originally, there were not many people there. Thanks to Kelsang's acquaintance, he recruited some exiled shepherds from the desolate grassland. Thus, the population was very small. However, as Zhou Bao became stronger and more famous, the passage to the Wuyang Region was opened, and the Anyuan Store became bigger and bigger, the population of the Wuyang Region increased sharply. Now, there were nearly 10,000 people.
If it was someone else, like the Anyuan Store, who openly and secretly trafficked people to the Wuyang Region, the government would have taken action long ago. However, when they heard that it was the Anyuan Store, all the government officials turned a blind eye to it. The only eye they opened was for the convenience of the Anyuan Store. Therefore, the population of the Wuyang Region was quite large.
In addition to the small town, there were more villages around it. Most of these people were trafficked by the traffickers. There were all kinds of people, including roving bandits, criminals, abducted, and trafficked. Anyway, these people were some unlucky people in the Central Plains who could not survive. Under the manipulation of the Anyuan Store, they all came to the Wuyang Region.
When they arrived at the Wuyang Region, Zhou Bao treated them as human beings. He did not discriminate against them, but he did not have any advantages either. The Wuyang Region was located in the bitter cold. At the beginning, the conditions were a little difficult. However, with the financial support of the Anyuan Store and Jiang Xiao's ability, no one froze or starved to death in the first winter. After the winter, and Zhou Bao opened the passage to the Blacktail Plain, the Wuyang Region had become the most prosperous place in the northwest fief. It was also the most important transportation route to the northwest. Trade gradually flourished, and the surrounding grassland began to be cultivated. The whole territory showed a scene of prosperity.
If such a thing happened in other places, it might cause some trouble and arouse some people's greed. However, this was Zhou Bao's territory. Who dared to make trouble? Who dared to covet it?
However, there were no external troubles. With the increase of the territory's population, there were more and more troubles. In terms of public security, with the fierce Zhu Ba, no one dared to make trouble. However, once people settled down, they started to have more ideas. Somehow, religion became popular. Among the tens of thousands of people, there were all kinds of beliefs, including the Sect of Flame. Jiang Xiao had consulted Zhou Bao about this matter, but Zhou Bao did not care about it. It was freedom of religious belief, and he just said it was up to him.
Jiang Xiao and the others also knew that the Wuyang Region was under the control of Zhou Bao, so no one could make trouble. So as long as these good men and women did not make trouble, they would not care. It was this laissez-faire attitude that allowed some religious forces to soar in the Wuyang Region. Jingtan Temple was one of them.
