Shenzhou Medicine Master

Chapter 245 Houtian Mother...Mingshan Academy ([-] in [-])

"Subordinate...Zhi, Zhicheng, bye...bye, see the Grand Tutor!" Zhicheng brought the two of them in, and bowed to Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao went up to greet him personally, "Oh, Shi Zai finally returned safely, alone and without any worries!"

Zhicheng burst into tears, "Subordinates... total, finally... no, fulfilling the mission..."

Jiang Yao patted his hand, "Shi Zai's trip was hard and tiring, needless to say, even Gu understands."

"Teacher, this trip is very dangerous. There were six people in the group, and three of them fell." Du Zhao, the martial arts master who was in charge of protecting Zhicheng, said, "If it weren't for the magic weapon given by the Taifu, none of us would have survived. "

The six of them found the Heavenly Formation Valley, a secret realm between Kunxue and the Endless Desert. Relying on the talent of Zhicheng Formation's spiritual body, they avoided many powerful natural attack formations and psychedelic formations. Finally, after the three fell, the three came back.

After several months of adventure, going deep into the dense valley of the sky for tens of thousands of miles, and experiencing countless dangers, Zhicheng's harvest is extremely amazing. It's not that the trip was worthwhile, but it was too worthwhile.

So the only three people left looked excited.

"Sit!" Jiang Yao also knew that there was a big harvest, and she was looking forward to it.

Du Zhao knew that Zhicheng was stuttering, so he just said it himself:

"After we arrived at the Kun Point, Shi Zai sensed where the barrier of the Heavenly Array Valley was located, and spent a few days to find the natural eye and enter the secret realm."

"It's in the depths of the earth. It's a huge cavern. There are all kinds of natural formations, killing formations, trapping formations, maze formations, illusion formations... If it wasn't for the brilliant soldiers, I would have died in it long ago..."

"Later, Shi Zai finally sensed a natural protective formation heart. We used this protective formation heart to continue to go deeper, search for months, and finally found a natural formation mother!"

While Du Zhao was speaking, Zhicheng took out a gray stone drum. This stone drum was filled with an ethereal and profound space idea, like a corner of the universe starry sky, hidden in it.

Even an idiot can see that this is a treasure of no small importance.

Jiang Yao was surprised to find that his spiritual consciousness couldn't get past this miraculous mother of Houtian.

He was sure that if it wasn't for Zhicheng being a spirit body, it would be impossible to get this Houtian mother.Ordinary people have nothing to do with this thing.

What is Houtian Zhenmu?

It is the mother womb of the array that is naturally conceived by heaven, earth, and dao, which can give birth to all natural arrays and form a semi-independent world.

The Houtian Formation Mother is the Houtian Spirit Treasure beyond the ninth level. Once cultivated, it can form a comprehensive natural formation.

In this comprehensive natural formation, there are natural killing formations, natural trapping formations, psychedelic formations, concealment formations, protection formations, spirit gathering formations, teleportation formations and other formations, all of which are super natural formations!
Once the formation mother grows up and the formation materials are sufficient, it can cover a radius of [-] li.The huge space of ninety thousand miles in length and width can be placed under the protection of the natural array mother, and a million troops cannot break through it.

A radius of [-] miles, in the vast real world, is just a tiny place, a drop in the ocean.However, it is enough to cover the Qing Clan's jurisdiction.

Even Jiang Yao, who had seen many treasures, was so excited that she couldn't control herself when facing the mother of the natural array.

This Houtian Zhenmother is not much worse than the world of life he once got and was taken away by Li Xixia!

Zhicheng's original purpose was to find the natural array mother, but in the end he found the Houtian array mother, and the harvest far exceeded expectations.

"Shi Zai did a great job in finding Hou Tian's mother. Shi Zai can be called a lonely lucky star." Jiang Yao was very happy.

But Zhicheng was not too happy.

"Teacher, after this, the day after tomorrow... Zhen, although the mother of Zhen, although powerful..."

After listening to Zhicheng's words with difficulty, Jiang Yao's joy also faded.

Of course Houtian Mother is a good thing, but there are nine levels of growth space, and each level requires different levels and different numbers of spiritual veins.

If it grows to level nine and covers [-] miles, five level nine great spirit veins are needed, arranged according to the five elements!

A nine-level large spiritual vein is a huge wealth, let alone five?
Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Jiang Yao is lucky and finds a ninth-level spiritual vein, she still has no ability to draw it out.

Without the cultivation base of a martial saint, there is no strength at all to pull out the great spiritual vein from the ground.

Moreover, even the Martial Saint does not have a ring that can accommodate the Great Spirit Vein.This is why Shenzhou Martial Saints do not collect spiritual veins.

There is nowhere to put it.

The Great Spirit Pulse is hundreds of miles long, like a small mountain range, far beyond the accommodation space of the top-level ring.

Jiang Yao frowned, "Don't worry, Shi Zai, I'll figure out a solution for the matter of the ninth-level great spirit vein."

He has the Super Ring.The ring that Li Xixia gave him contained a corrupted spirit vein.

It is also possible for him to find a ninth-level spirit vein.The biggest problem is that the strength is not enough to draw out.

Jiang Yao accepted Houtian's mother, and said: "Scholar has made great achievements, so I will appoint you as the secretary of Zhendao Temple, the second rank, in charge of array formation, teaching array, array materials, array mages and other things."

"Thank you, Taifu!" Zhicheng was overjoyed.

Zhendao Siqing, the second grade, is the same as the sixth department.

That's right, the temple-level unit of Jiangyao is the same as the ministerial level, not smaller than the ministry.

Because this is the real world after all.For alchemy, how important is formation?How can it be smaller than Liubu?
"Even if the Empress Dowager has no spiritual veins, she can cover three thousand miles." Zhicheng no longer stutters when talking about the formation, "Your subordinates can deploy the formation mother in Mingshan and turn Mingshan into a knot." boundary."

"In this way, the tens of thousands of Wu Zun's recruits who Tai Tuo has been worried about leaking can train under the protection of the formation mother barrier, and the outside world will not know."

"Okay. Shi Zai's words are deeply in line with Gu's will." Jiang Yao nodded, "Pass Gu's secret order, all [-] Wu Zun's recruits will be scattered, and they will be dispatched to Mingshan."

Today, the average cultivation base of the Green Clan has risen sharply, and the number of Wu Zun monks has skyrocketed, creating conditions for the formation of Wu Zun's army.

These [-] Wu Zun soldiers are the reused results of Jiang Yao's reform.

With the Houtian mother, this future trump card can be hidden and trained in secret.

.........

"Congratulations, Grand Tutor, No. 20 on the monthly ticket list." Minister of the Ministry of War Feng Ke came to congratulate Jiang Yao.

The monthly ticket list is published once a month.

The world knows.

The ranking of ginger medicine has risen to the top [-] in half a year.

Ouyang Feng has already reached the top 26 in the local list.Fairy Luo has dropped to No. [-] because she hasn't shown up for a long time.

And Yu Yuan, who is less than nine years old, has already reached the top [-] in the character list!

The speed of progress is unparalleled.

Jiang Yao doesn't pay attention to the monthly ticket list at all, anyway, there is no benefit for the time being.What he is most concerned about right now is the training of soldiers and horses.

"Brother Buzhi, how are our soldiers and horses?" He summoned Feng Ke to ask the soldiers.

Feng Ke had already made preparations: "Teacher, I have a veteran army of 11, and almost all of them have thousands of horses. There is nothing to say. As for the new army..."

"Wu Zun's new army is [-], and Samurai Consummation's new army is [-]. According to the Taifu's secret order, they have all been transferred to Mingshan for secret training."

"There are three major problems right now. The first is that the military expenditure is too huge. After the new year, there will be no money. Second, there is a lack of thousands of horses. The gap is at least [-] horses. Third, there is a lack of weapons and magic weapons, especially the ten thousand stone bow and arrows."

"These three major problems, in the final analysis, are still a matter of money, and money is easy to solve. From the perspective of my subordinates, can I use the storage of the Great Sapphire Bank?"

Jiang Yao shook her head without even thinking about it, "The customer storage of Daqing Yuhang cannot be embezzled as military expenses. Otherwise, once it gets out, the reputation of Yuhang will be ruined."

Feng Ke smiled wryly and said, "The Minister of the Ministry of War is most afraid of the loss of military expenditure. This year, the military expenditure has already spent [-] million or [-] million yuan! It is four times that before the reform! But the Ministry of Household Affairs said that this year's income is not even [-] million yuan. "

"There are still hundreds of thousands of militia regiments training. Military expenditures are like a bottomless pit. Xuantong will only increase in three years (next year)!"

For the past two years, Qing Clan has been completely militaristic.

A second-class military lord actually takes the military strength of a first-class powerful vassal as the standard.Financially, there is no sustainability at all.

The money from raiding the house was gone, and the harvest from the previous big victory, the money that was wiped out, was almost gone again.

If there is no huge amount of income, by the third year of Xuantong, the court will be shut down due to the financial crisis.

Jiang Yao called Zhu Yan, Minister of the Household Department, and immediately asked, "How much money does the imperial court have?"

Zhu Yan replied: "Xuantong's taxes and other income for the second year have been collected, and the treasury still has 8000 million. Probably, it can last for half a year."

"After half a year, there will be no money. The military expenditure is too large."

"Right now, our army can't expand, and we can't embezzle Yuhang's savings."

"The most difficult thing is next year. After next year, the newly occupied seven counties have been digested, and the output of Lingmi has also increased, so the military expenditure will be enough."

When Jiang Yao heard this, she knew that she was going to find a way to make a lot of money.

Within half a year, there must be hundreds of millions of Lingyu in the account to get through this season of shortage.

"Then the imperial court will issue bonds, and Da Qingyu Bank will invest in the imperial bonds." Jiang Yao thought of the best idea.

In this way, hundreds of millions of Lingyu can be raised.

Zhu Yan listened to the explanation about bonds, and although she thought the idea was brilliant, she discovered a new problem.

"Teacher, all the deposits in the Jade Bank have been purchased in bonds, so what about personal loans?"

Jiang Yao smiled and said, "Stop personal loans first. Besides, after the reform, there are very few loans for personal cultivation resources, and most of them are commercial loans."

Issuing bonds is tantamount to misappropriating Yuhang's deposits in disguise.

Jiang Yao never expected to solve the financial crisis through personal power.If the fiscal crisis cannot be resolved internally through fiscal means, then the reform is not sustainable.

"After the reform, common people will be benefited. The output of lingmi has increased by [-]% compared to last year, causing the price of lingmi to drop sharply." Zhu Yan said, "Do you want to sell lingmi to other places to make more money?"

Jiang Yao shook her head: "Lingmi and Dongfu real materials are what I just need. The price of this resource must be controlled so that everyone can afford it and live in it. Food and lodging resources accounted for more than half of the income of the bottom class before. , is too high. It must be reduced to less than [-]%."

"Only when the food and lodging become cheaper, and the common people have more resources to use for cultivation breakthroughs, can the overall cultivation level be improved. Five years later, I plan to train an army of ten thousand sects!"

Wan Zongjun!
Both Feng Ke and Zhu Yan were taken aback by Jiang Yao's ambition.

The entire Qing Clan now has 300 million martial arts cultivators, and all the martial sects are only tens of thousands.

Where can we train Wan Zongjun?

The number of Wu Zong will almost double again.

.........

Boom!

There was a roar from Mingshan, which was three thousand miles away, and gray mist filled the sky.

At this time, the Mingshan fiefdom has become a desolate mountain under the arrangement of Zhicheng Yong Houtian Zhenmu.

The former Fufu Basin is no longer visible.

The entire Mingshan fiefdom was shrouded in the barrier of Houtian Zhenmother.At this time, even Wu Sheng couldn't enter Mingshan Mountain.

Only those who are familiar with Mingshan will be surprised why Mingshan suddenly turned into a wilderness.

Mingshan has been included under the protection of Houtian Mother's Barrier. Although it is only three thousand miles away, it has become one of the safest places in the world.

On October [-], the autumn wind is bleak.Jiang Yao visited Mingshan Academy as the Regent Taifu.

Jiang Yao sacrificed the key of the formation pattern, and then led people into the enchantment smoothly and returned to Mingshan.

Mingshan Academy was built in the east of Mingshan not far from the lord's mansion, in the sun of Mingshui.

From a distance, Mingshan Academy, located among the green mountains and white clouds, looks very indifferent and peaceful.

A step made entirely of ordinary bluestone extends upwards from the south bank of Mingshui. At the foot of the mountain, there is a rare bluestone archway with the words: "Mingshan Academy.".

On both sides of the building, there are two equally rare stone couplets:

"The culture and education are majestic, and the virtues are great for the common people; the martial arts are mysterious, and the mountains, rivers, and stars are far away."

The horizontal couplet is: Civil and military are far and wide.

The handwriting is strong and the law is strict. It is also a rare calligraphy art in the real world. Of course it is Jiang Yao's own handwriting.

At this time, Jiang Yao was leading a group of people, standing under the building sign.

"Teacher, please look, this building has been practiced for less than a year, but it has a simple and rounded meaning, so weird." Chu Heng pointed to the building.

Jiang Yao took a look, and sure enough, she saw this newly built building. It really had a dense atmosphere, showing a bit of antiquity.

Obviously, this is a sense of heaven's luck.

"Good." Jiang Yao lightly shook her feather fan and nodded, "Tao is Qi."

After all, he climbed up the steps with a snake stick.

On both sides of the steps up the mountain, there are a pair of stone beasts every ten feet, which shows the extremely high standard of Mingshan Academy.

After a while, there was another building in front of it.

The above four words: Xiuwen Daochang.

Another couplet:
The four books lead to the avenue, and the bright moon is in the heart sea; the sense of the five classics is too weak, and the soul lamp of the Lingtai is long.

This is also the work of Jiang Yao.

Seeing this couplet, everyone felt that it made a lot of sense.

When you arrive at the academy, the first thing you see is a bluestone square, carved with an old man with a strange appearance, stroking his beard and unfolding his scroll, with a peaceful mood.

There are eight words on the stone platform next to it: Dacheng is the most holy, the teacher of all ages.

This man's surname is Kong, his name is Qiu, and his style name is Zhongni.According to Jiang Taifu, he was a sage and sage in ancient times.Originally, no one in the Qing clan knew about Kong Qiu.

But now, Kong Qiu has a great reputation in the Green Clan.

Of course, it was only limited to the Green Clan.Elsewhere, no one knows who Kong Qiu is.

What is great about Confucius is that his "The Analects" is as simple as it is simple, with lofty meanings, and it is very easy to grasp.

The more I study "The Analects of Confucius", the more I feel that my previous Tao is very incomplete.

Or make people feel that their previous way is wrong and crooked.

Taifu said that Confucius is the ancestor of Confucianism and Taoism, and Confucianism and Taoism are the true meaning of humanism.If the world does not practice Confucianism and Taoism, then the way of heaven will be lacking, and the way of the individual will also be affected.

Jiang Yao took the lead in saluting the statue of Confucius, and then entered the most sacred Wen Palace where Confucius was worshipped, and then entered the academy dojo.

Here is the Academy of Arts.

Many young martial artists in brand new shirts are studying the Four Books and Five Classics.

"If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a square..."

"People do not do something, and then they can do something..."

"Tao runs parallel but does not contradict each other...Tao is different, do not conspire with each other..."

"Sincerity makes you clear, and light makes you sincere..."

For the real world where culture and education have long been cut off, it is obviously not easy to understand the "prehistoric classics" such as the "Four Books and Five Classics".

They are just literate.

Many of the names, events, and allusions in the books are unknown to them.

Especially "Spring and Autumn" and "Yi", which made it difficult for them to learn.

There are also people who are practicing so-called calligraphy or painting according to Jiang Yao's copybook.

These people only knew martial arts before, and they didn't understand anything.Learn these things that you have never touched almost from scratch.

The deeper they learn, the more profound they discover.Soon I was immersed in it and couldn't extricate myself.

Many people's Dao Xin has become more rounded in this process.

They are even more convinced that learning these can make their Dao Xin more perfect.

Jiang Yao was very happy to see the first batch of carefully selected students.

The first batch of [-] students were all from poor families.Here they study "Four Books and Five Classics", piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and also learn unified martial arts skills, much like a sect.

The suzerain is the head of the academy: Jiang Yao.

These students will be the seeds of spreading Confucianism and Taoism, enlightening the world, and replanting civilization.

"Students have met Master Shanchang!" When the students saw Jiang Yao, they all stood up and saluted solemnly with the unified Confucian cross-hand salute.

Jiang Yao returned the gift, gave a speech in public that reading is beneficial to Taoism, and wrote a few more words, all of which were famous quotes from some Chinese sages to encourage students.

Then, I went to the Martial Arts Academy to observe the students practicing martial arts and martial arts.

The Martial Academy was reinforced with formation restrictions. Students must practice martial arts while studying.They entered the academy to study both civil and martial arts, and they could not give up martial arts.

In addition to civil and martial arts, they also need to learn laws and systems.

Ginger is very satisfied.He found that all the students were teenagers and girls, not more than six years old, with at least a perfect warrior, and all of them had second-class qualifications or above.

This is a one-in-a-hundred selection from applicants from twenty counties.

The entire academy is full of vigor and high spirits, and the atmosphere is extremely lively.Jiang Yao couldn't help but think of her campus life back then.

Compared with my own campus life, Mingshan Academy is more like a real campus.

Ten years later, these [-] students will be the spark of culture and education in the world and the theoretical backbone of the reform.

Then, Jiang Yao inspected the newly built Buddhist scripture building, the mountain guard array, the students' caves and other places.

Overall, the students' cultivation and learning environment is very good.It has everything that the academy should have.

Jiang Yao ordered that Mingshan Academy has a nine-year schooling system and recruits a group of new students every year.Only by successfully graduating can you get the title of scholar.

If you are a scholar, you can serve as a small official.

In fact, the first batch of students, almost all self-study, no teacher to teach them.

What Jiangyao can do is to provide teaching materials and resources to create a good learning atmosphere.

Otherwise, he has nothing to do.

.........

After Jiang Yao inspected Mingshan Academy, which he had high hopes for, he went to observe the training of the new army of [-] Wu Zuns.

The person in charge of training the new army of [-] Wu Zun was Li Yang, who came from a military family.

Although Li Yang was born in the noble family of the Wu family, his family has long since been exterminated, except for the inheritance of military skills, he is no different from a poor family.

The ancestor of Li Yang was a general of the anti-demon camp, but he was living in the Qing Clan. He was selected by Jiang Yao and personally appointed as the head coach of the new army.

Specialized in training extremely complex military formations.

At this time, on the huge school field, [-] Wuzun monks were arranged in a three-dimensional arrangement with a hundred people as a unit. Following Li Yang's military order, they constantly adjusted their formation.

What is an army formation?In fact, it is an formation composed of soldiers, which can be an attack formation or a defense formation.

Every centurion is a chess piece.

Therefore, military formation training is very difficult.

Without five years of hard training, these [-] Wu Zun troops would not be able to give birth to a battlefield, and they would be mobs.

But once the training is completed, it will be worth 30 warriors!

"The last general, Li Yang, pay homage to the Grand Tutor!" Seeing Jiang Yao coming to inspect the training, Li Yang immediately came to see him.

Li Yang is over a hundred years old, but Wu Zong's cultivation is perfect, but his military talent is very powerful.

Is a natural talent.

"Mianli, Brother Xingheng, I wonder when this army of Wu Zun will be able to fight?" Jiang Yao stood on the hill, looking at the [-] Wu Zun on the plain.

Li Yang said: "Wu Zun's army only has 3 people, so it is easier to train. Within five years, it can barely fight. Grand Tutor, this is already very fast."

"Therefore, the general suggested that within five years, try not to fight with the surrounding martial arts."

Jiang Yao nodded, "I'm not in a hurry. Brother Xingheng, these [-] warriors and [-] warriors are complete, and they will be handed over to Xingheng's training team."

The training regiment is also a product of Jiangyao's reform, which is specially used to recruit military talents and train new troops.

"Don't worry, Grand Tutor, the final general will definitely do his best to live up to what the Grand Tutor entrusts." Li Yang said respectfully.

It was Jiang Yao who gave him this opportunity, the opportunity to revive his family, he was appreciated and promoted by Jiang Yao, and of course he respected Jiang Yao.

The influence of ginger medicine reform on people's hearts is that the ritual system suppresses personal strength more and more.

Why do you say that?
Take Jiang Yao as an example, he is just a monk of Wu Zong, but Li Yang, who is also Wu Zong, is very respectful to him, and many ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are Wu Zong, even Wu Zhen, and they are also very respectful to him.

This is unimaginable in other martial arts.

In other martial arts, personal strength is the decisive weight.

For Qing Clan, the weight of personal identity and official position is getting heavier and heavier.

This indicates that the power of the system is constantly increasing.

This is a bit like ancient China: You can't disrespect your superiors just because you are personally stronger than your superiors.

The young Taifu returned to his lord's mansion after his inspection.

As soon as he entered, he saw Jiang Cai teaching three personal disciples.

"Greetings, master!" The three disciples hadn't seen Jiang Yao for a long time, and they all came forward to greet him with surprise.

Jiang Yao waved her hand, "Go down and practice."

Jiang Cai's cultivation was already at the early stage of Wu Zong.During these days, she presided over the housekeeping of the lord's mansion and lived a very comfortable and free life.

"Xiao Yao, I have something to tell you." Jiang Cai said just now when he saw the three disciples going down.

"Sister, tell me." Jiang Yao's perception is not a good thing.

"Your female apprentice, Lin Chan'er, has been home several times to visit relatives. It's nothing. But the last two times, she didn't go home at all, but left Mingshan."

"If I'm right, she's in contact with someone."

After Jiang Cai finished speaking, her expression was solemn, "Xiao Yao, although this doesn't explain anything, you'd better find out who she is in contact with and what she wants to do."

Jiang Yao smiled.

"It turned out to be this matter. Elder sister is really meticulous. Don't worry, elder sister. I already know about this matter, and I instructed Chan'er how to deal with it."

Jiang Cai was thoughtful, "Who is the other party?"

Jiang Yao said: "Maybe it has something to do with Shennong Tiancheng. It seems that I should go to Shennong Tiancheng. I can't let them hide in the dark and keep staring at me."

Jiang Cai frowned: "The other party may be a trap."

Jiang Yao nodded: "That's right. So, if I want to surprise the other party, it depends on Chan'er."

Jiang Cai was a little worried, "Is Chan'er reliable?"

Jiang Yao smiled and said: "Sister, don't worry. Even if Chan'er is unreliable, I can come back alive. I just want to know who is the person who is secretly watching me and what he wants to do."

If the enemy cannot be avoided, then the enemy cannot be hidden in the dark.

　Happy Mid-autumn Festival!Crab everyone's support!Ask for a monthly pass!
