In the imperial study, Li Mao paced back and forth, clearly unable to calm down.
The Imperial Astronomer was an institution for ancient emperors to observe the celestial phenomena, calculate the solar terms, and make calendars. When it came to sensing the heavens, any change in the celestial phenomena was not a small matter. Especially when a few ominous stars appeared, it was a great weapon to depose the empress, depose the crown prince, attack the prime minister, and even change the throne.
The Imperial Astronomer in this world did not stop there. It took in many strange people and was like Li Mao's eyes and ears.
Of course, this group of Mutants naturally did not dare to say that Zhang Tianxiang had the Dragon Qi or something like that. They only reported that this person was "born with a strange appearance and was not suitable to be a subject …" They also exaggerated his actions in Green Bamboo County and reported it. This was enough to make Zhang Tianxiang afraid.
"This person … this person …"
Li Mao paced a few steps, very hesitant.
To be honest, now that the Dazhou Dynasty was in its golden age, he did not even think about the change of dynasty. He just felt that this person was not easy to control and might even have a conflict with him.
Of course, it was very simple to solve this problem. He could directly send troops to surround and kill him. Even if Zhang Tianxiang had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to escape. But to kill because of a strange appearance?
Li Mao did not want to be seen as a tyrant.
At this moment, he felt dizzy and his body swayed. Amidst the exclamations of the eunuchs, he slowly stood up with the help of the table. He glanced at Zhang Tianxiang's essay and sighed. He suddenly made a decision. "I'll wait and see during the court examination …"
…
Inside the Four Seas Guild.
"Why do I feel so nervous tonight!"
Zhang Tianxiang had taken a liking to Huiyuan. As usual, he had a good time with his peers and went to worship a teacher. When he came back, he tossed and turned on his bed but could not fall asleep.
"Is it because I'm about to meet the emperor?"
He had some doubts. He knew that he was not the kind of person who would tremble in fear. He immediately took out his long sword and wanted to dance with it outside.
Outside the room, the moonlight was like water and everything was quiet. A cool breeze blew, bringing with it the fragrance of grass and trees. It was really a beautiful night scene.
Zhang Tianxiang danced with his sword. Thousands of sword lights flashed like fireworks. Sword Qi overflowed, elegant and extraordinary, like a banished immortal.
He suddenly let out a long cry and the long sword in his hand flew out like a jade dragon, straight into the tree trunk, straight into the sword hilt.
"Ah!"
A blood-curdling scream was heard, and the tree trunk trembled. A black shadow swayed for a moment before suddenly exploding.
"Hmm?"
A layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on Zhang Tianxiang's back. "Did I hurt someone?"
He immediately stepped forward and carefully examined the area. However, he could not find any traces of blood around the ancient tree. There was only a trace of Yin energy lingering around, causing him to frown. "Ghosts? Or is it the Yin Spirit of a cultivator? "
He was a decisive person. He immediately pulled out his sword and silently explored his surroundings.
Outside the Four Seas Club.
A black specter flew through the walls and alleys, entering a small courtyard. It circled around the head of a Hu with a high nose, deep eyes, slightly curly hair, and green eyes before disappearing into the top of his head.
"What a terrifying Zhou person!"
The barbarian opened his eyes, his body drenched in sweat. "Just the Sword Qi of his sword dance was able to injure my soul. This person's martial arts are no less than the great warriors of the Western Regions …"
"You were discovered?"
A Hu merchant, who was sitting cross-legged on a woolen blanket and drinking with a concubine, frowned and stroked his mustache.
"I don't think so … He's just a martial artist. How could he discover my soul?"
The Hu man's face revealed a proud expression.
"That's good … We've all done a great service by finding the person the high priest is looking for! Keep an eye on him. When all our martial artists arrive, we can capture him and send him out of Western Capital through the secret passage! "
The Hu merchant said with a radiant smile.
"High priest? Someone from the 36 countries of the Western Regions? "
The door suddenly opened, and the green-robed Zhang Tianxiang walked in.
"Hmm? It's you! "
The Hu merchant was shocked. "Alba?! Ze Luoke?! "
"Are you looking for the two martial artists guarding the door? Stop shouting! "
Zhang Tianxiang raised the blood-stained sword in his hand. "Why does your high priest want to find me? Speak! "
"Ha!"
The Hu man snorted coldly, and a black gas flew out of his nose. It transformed into a large snake and pounced.
Zhang Tianxiang laughed coldly, and a hazy green light appeared on his sword. With a stab, the black snake turned into smoke, and the sword stabbed into the Hu man's chest.
One word of disagreement, and blood splattered everywhere!
"Ah!"
Just as the two women screamed, they were killed by Zhang Tianxiang. He then stepped on the fat body of the barbarian and placed his sword on his neck, "We have no enmity with each other in the past, and no enmity with each other today. Why did you plot against me?"
"I … I don't know. This is the high priest's order!"
"If you let me go, don't mention that I'm willing to give you a lot of gold as a token of gratitude!"
The Hu merchant's face was pale, and there was a fishy smell coming from his crotch.
Zhang Tianxiang expressionlessly asked a few more questions. Knowing that the Hu merchant did not know much, his sword flashed, and the Hu merchant's fat head fell off, rolling on the ground.
He calmly wiped his sword and flipped over the wall, returning to his courtyard as if nothing had happened. He stood there, deep in thought.
Killing people and cutting grass without a sound!
Even if the neighbors noticed something was wrong tomorrow and wanted to report it to the authorities, they would not be able to find this place. After all, the two sides had nothing to do with each other, and he was a new Huiyuan!
What Zhang Tianxiang was truly worried about was why these Hu people wanted to plot against him.
If he did not get to the bottom of this, it would be a huge knot in his heart.
"Weng weng!"
Suddenly, his expression froze, and he looked into his robes. He saw a bright yellow Talisman radiating light, and it felt warm to the touch.
"Pu!"
Affected by this light, a Buddhist light flashed outside, and the figure of a monk appeared, caught off guard.
"There's someone watching from the side!"
Zhang Tianxiang was shocked. "Then, doesn't that mean that everything I did was seen by him?"
Killing intent rose in his heart, and he gave chase.
The monk was stunned, and he used his movement technique to escape. He occasionally made some noise, and immediately attracted a group of patrolling soldiers.
"How dare you! Who's there? Don't you know it's already a curfew? "
Seeing a group of soldiers chasing him from the street, the monk's eyes showed a hint of success. He put his palms together, as if he used some kind of magical artifact, and a glazed Buddhist light shrouded Zhang Tianxiang.
"Ugh …"
Being shaken by the Buddhist light, Zhang Tianxiang felt dizzy. Seeing the approaching soldiers, his killing intent rose.
"Swoosh!"
At this moment, the Talisman in his robes exploded, and his mind cleared up. "Wait, why did I want to kill that group of soldiers? Isn't that killing officials and starting a rebellion?"
"Ah!"
The monk's spell failed, and he suffered a backlash. His body swayed, and he fell to the ground.
Zhang Tianxiang did not even look at him. He covered his face with his sleeves, and directly rushed forward, cutting off the monk's head with a sword. Amid the shouts of the soldiers behind him, he flew to the eaves and disappeared in an instant.
Returning to the Four Seas Guild Hall, he immediately changed his clothes. Listening to the gradually noisy street outside, his heart was still beating rapidly.
"Luckily, I was not distracted just now. Otherwise, if I really killed the soldiers, it would be troublesome …"
"Now that a few barbarians have died, what's a monk to me?"
"Even if there are some clues that implicate me, would the imperial court have the cheek to turn the new Huiyuan into a murderer? Would they still have any dignity? I have to cover it up, and it will not be a big deal! "
…
Zhang Tianxiang had already made up his mind. He looked at his robes and saw that the yellow Talisman was gone, and only a few traces of ashes remained. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead. "Luckily, I had this Talisman to protect me and resist the evil spell of that demonic monk. Otherwise, if I were to fight with the soldiers today, even my identity as a Huiyuan would not be able to protect me!"
He could not help but hate the barbarians and Fan Men who had purposely set him up.
…
At the same time, above the Nine Heavens.
Wu Ming sat high up in the clouds, looking down expressionlessly at the tens of thousands of lights in Western Capital.
"Good!"
In the eyes of the Dao Lord, the thousands of light spots below turned into a huge black and white calamity. It was vast and mighty, as if it was going to sweep through the universe. Suddenly, it cleared up, as if it was going to the west. He could not help but nod.
"This Zhang Tianxiang has the Dragon Qi and is the key to the great calamity. Even if the Emperor wants to kill him, it is unlikely that he can. He will definitely be able to escape!
"But if that is the case, it will immediately spoil the great plan. This person is arrogant, and after being forced to Liangshan, there is a 90% chance that he will rebel! This is the fate of the calamity, and once it happens, the world will be ruined!
"When that time comes, not to mention the people of the Dazhou, even the secluded immortals of the Central Region will not be able to escape this calamity. They will definitely come out and fight, and not even one out of ten will survive! This is the great calamity of the Central Region!
"And now, although the Emperor has not made a decision, there are two families that have already lost their patience. They want to jump out and directly lure Zhang Tianxiang to kill officials and rebel!"
The barbarians and the monk families made Wu Ming see the Ancient God forces behind them.
The great calamity of the world could not be defied, but it had a beginning.
If it began in the Dazhou, then the cultivators in the other regions would be able to preserve most of their destiny.
However, if the calamity was drawn in all directions, it could greatly reduce the calamity of the Central Region.
In general, a certain number of people would definitely die, and a large number of cultivators would die. This could not be changed. The only thing that could be changed was the amount of calamity each side would suffer. This was also the source of the conflict between the three Ancient Gods and the five Patriarchs!
Wu Ming, Exquisite, and Miaoyi wanted to draw the calamity to the west, but the two fellows from the west were naturally not very happy.
Boom!
In front of Wu Ming, heavenly flowers fell from the void, and golden lotuses appeared on the ground, forming a whirling pure land.
In the middle, a golden Brahma god, purple-gold in color, looked over with his Buddha eyes filled with benevolence and self-sacrifice.
"Brahma god!"
Wu Ming smiled and cupped his hands in greeting. "Fellow Daoist, if you want to attract the great calamity, isn't it too much to start in the Central Region?"
"However, if Daoist Lord wants to draw the calamity to the west and cause the Western Region to suffer, how is that the right path?"
Brahma's loud voice rang out.
"Didn't you, Fan Men, claim to have a merciful heart and to cut off your flesh to feed the eagles and tigers? As the saying goes, if you don't enter hell, who will? "
Wu Ming sneered. He knew that this was a fundamental contradiction, and there was no room for negotiation.
