"How did Childe Shen-soo get involved with Qingyuan County Magistrate? Benefactor … could it be that the mysterious cultivator who saved the County Magistrate is him? "
Bai Yun Xian's heart skipped a beat, as if she had seen the tip of a huge conspiracy.
"And this person's actions are crazy and unfathomable … forget it, I'm not a disciple of the Dragon Tiger Sect, I don't need to fight the Fourth Prince for him."
Bai Yun Xian thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Since you are a friend of the County Magistrate, I will take my leave."
She left as quickly as she came, like a white cloud, floating down to the city below.
"So, benefactor's name is Chung Shen-soo?"
Qingyuan County Magistrate blinked her big eyes and suddenly smiled, "Can I invite you to the Taoyuan Restaurant, so that I can be a good host?"
"That's fine, I have been in seclusion for many years, I do not know much about the world, I am looking for someone to ask."
Chung Shen-soo laughed.
When it came to the world, there should be no one more knowledgeable than the Imperial Court.
"What's so difficult about that? Just let Han Shanggong go to the Xuantian Bureau. "
Qingyuan County Magistrate smiled sweetly and ordered the carriage to return.
Han Shanggong wanted to say something, but he knew that he could not persuade the County Magistrate. In the end, he could only secretly send a message to inform the Fourth Prince, and then let her go.
The Taoyuan Restaurant was located on the outskirts of Daze City, with thousands of acres of peach trees, colorful and brilliant.
"This is the fief that Fourth Brother gave me, what do you think, Childe Shen-soo?"
Qingyuan County Magistrate got off the carriage and asked with a smile.
"The scenery is good, it will go well with wine."
Chung Shen-soo replied with a smile.
"Young Master, you can't live without wine. Fortunately, there is wine from overseas, you can drink to your heart's content."
Qingyuan County Magistrate was also a cultured person, so he immediately ordered for a banquet of eight delicacies under the peach trees.
This was a banquet of the highest standards in the Second Empire. The main dishes were bear paws, elephant tusks, camel humps, scarlet lips, deer tails, monkey brains, leopard embryos, and bird's nests. Fortunately, it was near Chang Luo, so the county magistrate's mansion was always prepared.
Chung Shen-soo did not refuse any of them. He ate heartily and drank the overseas immortal wine in the bronze goblet, eating and drinking to his heart's content.
The Qingyuan County Magistrate smiled as he watched from his seat at the head of the table. Not long after, Han Shanggong floated over and placed a stack of documents in front of Chung Shen-soo.
"All the major events of the Sky Bearing Empire are recorded in it."
"Oh?"
Chung Shen-soo's eyes lit up. He took it and flipped through it, drinking wine with it.
"Ever since the Tian Yuan year, the world has not been peaceful …"
He looked at the thick stack of documents and sighed to himself. His thoughts suddenly wandered to other problems. "This Qingyuan County Magistrate still has her hair combed into a young girl's bun. Does that mean she's not married? Isn't she above 20 years old? In ancient times, it's normal for people to get married and have children in their teens … But Yan Han is a celestial dynasty. Maybe the customs are different? "
Chung Shen-soo drank another mouthful of wine and flipped open a document. It was about the large number of Eastern Sea sects entering the Central Plains.
Although these sects were not the best, they still had Primordial Spirit and Dharmakaya masters. The imperial court allowed them to establish their own sects in the Central Plains because they wanted to use their power to balance the Six Dao of Demonic Sect.
Unfortunately, things did not develop according to their expectations. The overseas sects entered the Central Plains on a large scale. The conflict between them and the local sects became more and more intense.
Other than that, strange things happened in the various provinces. Famine and plagues came one after another. No matter how one looked at it, it looked like the end of the dynasty.
"The Five Colored Lotus bloomed everywhere in Luo Province. Those who saw it became delirious. When they woke up, they all became believers of the Five Colored Lotus …"
"A plague has broken out in the Sand Region. There are wolves, tigers, pigs, and cows. Those who are bitten will definitely turn into half-animals and attack others if they don't die within three days. Several counties have already fallen … I suspect that the Demon Sect has interfered to cultivate beasts …"
"Si Province … The Nine Palace Cave has fallen and turned into a demonic area. There are many strange things happening around it. Fortunately, it did not spread … It is recommended to seal it."
…
"These are all major events that shook the imperial court. Some of the strange disasters that broke out on a small scale are probably not even qualified to be reported …"
Chung Shen-soo was a little shocked. He immediately looked at the content of the Taishang Dragon Tiger Sect which he was more interested in.
"In the battle of the Nine Palace Cave, Immortal Jiu Ru died. Primordial Spirit cultivator Yu Longzi and Immortal Ming Xue escaped successfully. The Dragon Tiger Sect suffered heavy casualties. The Demon Fairy broke free from the seal and created a thousand miles of red land.
"Poor Sima Shu, Lan Ying 'er, and the others. They did not even have the right to leave their names …"
Chung Shen-soo continued to read. He found that after the battle of the Nine Palace Cave, the Taishang Dragon Tiger Sect changed its strategy. Most of the disciples moved to Yu Province. The Dharmakaya Sect Master, Immortal Qing Wei, stayed in Chang Luo to prepare for the worship to heaven.
More importantly, after a few years, the old emperor's health became worse.
And the matter of worshipping the Heavens was imminent!
This was not recorded in the document. However, Chung Shen-soo combined all the clues and deduced the answer!
He slid his fingers and pinched a mark on a document.
"In August, the censor Tian Zhongwen submitted a memorial to change the title of the Nation Master to the Celestial Master. The titles of the Mysterious and Enlightened Celestial Masters were taken back …"
In the Second Empire, Primordial Core adepts could be Five Talisman Spirit Officers.
Above the Five Talisman Spirit Officers, Primordial Spirit and Dharmakaya adepts could be Celestial Masters and help the imperial court manage the affairs of the Celestial Path.
The Nation Master was the highest rank of the Celestial Officials in the Second Empire. Only Undead Immortals could hold this position.
Because the Second Empire recognized itself as the Celestial Dynasty, the Nation Master was naturally ranked above the Celestial Master!
Now, the imperial court wanted to change the titles and official titles. They wanted to promote the Celestial Master to the highest rank, above the Nation Master.
It seemed like a change of title, but in reality, it meant that the Second Empire would be under the heavens and submit to the Heavenly Dao!
This was paving the way for the worship to heaven, and it was also a declaration of war!
"Names and artifacts cannot be faked … It seems like it's just a change of official titles, but in reality, it's a big change in the country's politics. Something is going to happen, something big!"
"Coming to Chang Luo this time was the right decision."
Chung Shen-soo thought to himself.
The Second Empire had many cultivators. The Taishang Longhu Sect and the East Sea Sect were probably in the same camp.
The Buddhists, Taiping Sect, and Miaoji True Sect's attitudes were unclear. Currently, most of them were still neutral. They only followed the orders of the Yan Han Empire.
It was hard to say what the intentions of the Six Paths of the Demon Sect were.
"The Taishang Longhu Sect is too close to the imperial court. If something happens, I'm afraid they will be dragged into the abyss …"
Chung Shen-soo finished the wine in the bronze goblet in one gulp. Suddenly, his gaze turned to a certain direction.
There, a young man dressed in a dragon robe walked over with a majestic gait. He was surrounded by many servants.
"Fourth Elder Brother is here!"
The Qingyuan County Magistrate stood up to welcome him and introduced Chung Shen-soo. "This is the benefactor I told you about!"
"So it's Childe Shen-soo. I can't thank you enough for helping me back then."
The Fourth Prince smiled and spoke without a trace of arrogance. His every word and action seemed to have been specially trained. It was like a spring breeze.
