In the Heavens

top of huashan

Just when the various forces speculated that Master Li was going to drag everyone out of the territory and provoke a massacre to overcome the catastrophe, Li Mu miraculously closed the door.

He has read a lot of information about Heaven and Earth Shajie. It's nothing more than following the way of heaven to promote the development of killing and robbery. Li Mu's mind is not bad if he replaces the protagonist as the person who should respond to the robbery.

It is true that he brought up the misfortune, but it does not mean that Li Mu has to recite this cause and effect.

Millions of people, or even tens of millions of people will die, and who knows how many resentments will be generated. If the boss of the Heavenly Dao doesn't help carry it, Li Mu's small body will not be able to bear it.

This is different from doing things on the grassland. The killing of the Palace of Eternal Life was a vendetta, and the massacre of the grassland cavalry was sent to the door by themselves. Li Mu can be thoughtful.

It is different to blame the outside world, which will lead to the tragic death of thousands of innocent civilians. Li Mu is not so hard-hearted.

Although Taoist practice does not place so much emphasis on cause and effect, it is still necessary to have a clear mind. With resentment and uneasy conscience, who knows if he will encounter demons in the future when his cultivation level is high?

It doesn't matter if you say "hypocritical" or "thick-skinned", anyway, as long as there is one more reason for self-comfort, Li Mu can accept all this with peace of mind.

Of course, the uneasiness of conscience is only a minor problem. The key is that someone has to take the blame and shoulder most of the causal karma caused by the misfortune.

The most suitable back-to-back man is naturally the "Zhu Houwei" children's shoes, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he has a national fortune in his pocket.

What's more, this is still a strategy to save Ming Dynasty from subversion. No matter which direction it expands successfully, it can continue the national destiny for hundreds of years.

As a special member on the blacklist of Heavenly Dao, the Ming Dynasty wants to continue. Only by making great contributions in this world self-help operation can it wash away the mistakes made by the ancestors.

Otherwise, as it is now, there has been no rain in Ningxia for a year, and Guanzhong has only harvested a rain since the beginning of spring.

The entire north is shrouded in the shadow of drought, while the south is just the opposite. Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Huguang areas have experienced heavy rain since June.

From the south to the north, the Ming Dynasty faced a common problem—natural disasters led to a large-scale reduction in grain production, and some areas even experienced crop failure.

As long as this situation lasts for three to five years, no matter how hard the emperor tries to govern, it will inevitably cause chaos in the world.

Rather than waiting to be overthrown by hungry people, it is better to learn from Song Dynasty to make refugees into an army and send them to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

If you win the battle, you rely on the new territory to resettle the heroes, and if you lose the battle, the people who caused problems are gone. As long as it doesn't lose all at once, the Ming Dynasty can afford to die.

At the same time as Li Mu retreated, under the auspices of the Huashan Seven Masters, the Huashan disciples who participated in the trip to the grassland also put on Taoist robes and held Taoist scriptures.

If an uninformed person saw this scene, he would think that the Huashan School would become a pure Taoist sect.

These are all minor problems. Compared with the changes in clothing, what attracts more attention is the cultivation.

Accompanied by the influence of Daoist voices, everyone gradually controlled their evil spirits, and their cultivation bases also increased.

In less than three months, more than a hundred people have broken through. Even the number of top experts has increased by five people. If it is spread, it will definitely shock the entire martial arts world.

When did the top experts become Chinese cabbages, and they were able to play wholesale?

But in the apocalypse, everything is possible. Regardless of the fact that there are very few top fighters in the martial arts, once they participate in the killing, the situation will change.

In a sense, this is also Tiandao deliberately luring everyone to participate in the killing. If it weren't for the way of heaven to release water, there wouldn't be master blowouts every time in troubled times.

There were bursts of thunder in the sky, and Li Mu, who was in retreat, was also startled out. A thunderstorm in winter is not a good omen.

Looking at the sky full of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, Li Mu's Ziwei Doushu completely failed, and he couldn't figure out what was going to happen next.

An ominous premonition welled up. Immediately afterwards, an old saying appeared in Li Mu's mind: "Winter thunder, the ground must move!"

Before he could do anything, he felt the earth shaking and the mountains shaking. The strong shaking made it difficult to stand, and the tiles on the eaves were crackling and falling.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Li Mu couldn't help showing a wry smile. In front of heaven and earth, manpower is really too small.

Now he really admires those senior traversers who have nothing but dare to shout the slogan "defying the sky" with their white teeth.

Even if Li Mu's skill is profound, he is still so powerless in front of the power of heaven and earth. It can neither stop the thunder in the sky nor calm the trembling earth.

Ning Zhongze, who was holding the little "Li Ning", appeared behind Li Mu at this moment, and asked solemnly, "Senior brother, what's going on?"

In her impression, Li Mu's calculation of the weather and weather is very accurate, and there is no reason not to notify in advance of this level of celestial changes.

Looking at the sky, and then looking down at the swaying Huashan Mountain, Li Mu stretched out his arms to embrace his wife and said in a low voice, "The ground sends murderous intent, dragons and snakes rise to land!"

Seeing that Xia Ning still didn't know much about it, Li Mu continued to explain: "The heaven and earth have been killed, all astrology has fallen into chaos, and Ziwei, who is my brother, is also out of order now.

Now is the time to kill, not only Guanzhong, but the whole world will fall into endless disaster until the disaster is completed.

The troubled times have begun. With such an obvious signal, the careerists may not be able to bear it anymore, and the next is the time for the dragon and snake to rise to the ground. "

There is a folk proverb: "When thunder strikes after autumn, the land is full of thieves."

Li Mu is very clear that judging from the current situation, this proverb is about to come true.

With such a strong earthquake, many buildings on Huashan collapsed, and the situation among the people will only get worse.

It’s okay if the earthquake is limited to one place, but if an earthquake occurs all over the world, then there will be victims all over the place.

In less than a quarter of an hour of shaking, countless ordinary people have been made homeless. It's winter now, and losing a house at this time of year is simply killing people.

Li Mu couldn't imagine what would happen next. If the imperial court responds improperly, it may not even have the ability to blame outsiders.

With the scene in front of him, Li Mu's heart has already been shaken. For some reason, he always felt that this natural disaster had something to do with him.

It seems that without his time travel, the Heavenly Dao would not have awakened at this time, let alone this massacre, it would have depended entirely on the natural evolution of the world.

Not to mention self-blame, without this self-rescue action, in the near future, the whole world will be wiped out. No matter how high the price is, it is worth paying for a chance of survival.

Just now, Li Mu has clearly felt the tidal fluctuations of the spiritual energy. If there is no accident, there will be another wave of spiritual recovery next.

It's just that it's different from the previous spiritual recovery, this time the spiritual recovery is full of slaughter and desolate rage, and there is also a faint smell of death mixed in.

...

Leopard room

A hundred officials were being convened to discuss about sending troops to attack the Emperor Shenwu outside the territory. Before the court could be settled, a major earthquake broke out.

Looking at the shaking palace and all the civil and military officials running around, "Zhu Houwei" couldn't beat his anger.

The generals are fine, after all, it is the world of martial arts, and they can more or less know a little bit of kung fu, even if the palace really collapses, they can still protect themselves.

The civil servants were miserable. Many people were smashed to death by the tiles falling from the sky. Some unlucky ones even ran into the pillars of the hall because they were too flustered to escape.

When everyone came to an open field in a state of distress, eight civil servants had already been reduced, and there were more than a dozen wounded.

At this time, "Zhu Houwei" is not even in the mood to scold "fleeing years are unfavorable". He wanted to scold the "thief God" for being ruthless, but he was afraid that he would offend God and cause even greater disasters.

Before it was too late to deal with the aftermath, a reckless censor came forward and warned: "Your Majesty, the law of heaven warns. If you continue to go your own way, you will suffer if you provoke war..."

Before he could finish speaking, "Zhu Houwei" kicked the unknown censor flying away. How can ordinary people be able to bear the kick of a top expert? So far, one more person has been added to the death list among the hundred officials.

Apart from those who are fooled by reading books, all civil and military officials now have a deeper understanding of what the emperor said about "killing heaven and earth".

In particular, some officials who like to read miscellaneous books even recalled the terrible description in ancient books about "killing heaven and earth".

Glancing at the crowd, "Zhu Houwei" almost roared: "Listen to me, conquering the Quartet is the only chance for my Ming Dynasty to survive.

If anyone dares to stop, or is too benevolent, then use his family members of the nine clans to fill in the murder!

Don't pretend to be confused for me, I don't believe that you have no understanding of the world's killing and robbery. Even if Daming were to die, he would still be on the road to conquest.

I don't like to sit and wait for death, let alone take the blame for others. If Daming can't keep it, you don't want to be alone.

Unless you can find a better way to overcome the catastrophe, whoever dares to stop and cause chaos now is destroying the country of our Ming Dynasty. Once discovered, all nine clans will be punished! "

Looking at the mad emperor, all civil and military officials were terrified. Several young officials wanted to take the lead, but they were grabbed by the teacher.

We are all smart people, knowing that now is no longer a battle of interests, but a continuation of the survival of the country and the country.

Regardless of whether the emperor's strategy is reliable or not, at least it is a way to deal with disaster. In the absence of a better choice, everyone can only bite the bullet.

As for the military generals becoming bigger and shaking the power status of the civil servants group, they can't care so much now.

Fighting with generals is easier than fighting with heaven and earth.

"Drought in the north and flood in the south, the earth shakes and the mountains shake." Such a large-scale outbreak of natural disasters is impossible for everyone to have no idea.

All the members of the cabinet were injured and injured, and some pretended to be dead. No one came out to answer the emperor's words.

As a last resort, the British Duke Zhang Lun, who is the leader of the martial arts, could only bite the bullet and stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, this earthquake is huge. The imperial palace has suffered such a catastrophe, and the situation among the people will only get worse.

The most urgent task is to stabilize the situation in central Beijing first, and beware of the white lotus sect monsters taking the opportunity to make trouble.

Your Majesty, please issue an order to order Shuntian Prefecture to organize disaster relief, and order the five city soldiers, Masi, and Jin Yiwei to strengthen patrols, and strictly prevent local ruffians from taking advantage of the fire to rob. "

Seeing the generals come out to grab jobs, the civil servants who originally wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb to hide, woke up from their coma at this moment.

Li Zihao, the chief minister of the cabinet, who was used to being gentle, immediately remonstrated: "Your Majesty, if a catastrophe happens, then the earthquake will not be limited to the capital.

According to the records in ancient books, every time the murderous intentions were sent out, the scope of the attack was all over the world, and it would definitely not end in one day.

I would like to ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to reduce taxes in the disaster-stricken areas this year, order the state governments to organize disaster relief, and at the same time urge the local guards to cooperate with the local government and state governments to prevent rebellious parties from taking advantage of the situation to cause riots.

Since ancient times, after great disasters, there must be great epidemics. The imperial court should also start preparing for the epidemic prevention work immediately, so as not to be caught off guard later. "

...

Zhu Houwei's expression softened a little after hearing the successive advice from the ministers. Fighting for power and profit belongs to fighting for power and profit, and ministers still know how to do things.

Compared with the previous "famous ministers" who were well-known and only used the emperor as a raft to gain their reputation, overall, there has been some progress.

In fact, the "famous officials of the world" in the eyes of civil and military officials and the "famous officials" in the eyes of the emperor are completely two concepts.

The reason why the former is respected is that they safeguard the interests of the scholar-bureaucrat group, such as the ancient sages "Dong Zhongshu" and "Zhu Xi" who are highly respected by literati...

But in the eyes of the emperor, these guys are really not as useful as the much-criticized "Chen Ping", "Di Qing", and "Duan Jiong".
