Cultivating Ghosts: There is a Pink Skull at the beginning

Chapter 372
Zhou Dynasty, Linxiantai.

At this time, the Milky Way in the sky is bright, and the Milky Way is faint, and you can clearly see the stars all over the sky.

The city below is also brightly lit, and the lights like a long dragon stretch to the sky.

Among the majestic and majestic palace buildings of Zhou State, Linxiantai, a [-]-meter-high building, has always been a special place for receiving immortals and powerful people.

It's the same today, King Zhou is sitting on the golden dragon throne which can be seen at a glance, next to him are Empress Xiao Zhou, who are also the principal and deputy suzerains of the Yin Yang Sect.

The Yin-Yang Sect invested in King Zhou before the appearance of Guoding, and the King of Zhou used some means to instigate the two wives. Later, the Zhou Dynasty cleaned the Yin-Yang Sect, got rid of the original suzerain, and completely controlled the Yin-Yang Sect.

"Everyone loves you." The king of Zhou said in a majestic and self-satisfied voice, looking at the officials below, as well as several dignified and powerful figures.

The monks from Yinyang Sect, Dangmo Palace, Hermit Valley and other places also watched King Zhou.

King Zhou was nearly 40 years old and looked only [-] to [-] years old. He wore a golden sun crown on his head and a pearl night suit that exuded white light.

"I heard that the king of Yue summoned a group of sages at night, and sat down with the heroes of Yue to discuss Taoism and discern state affairs."

"Today, I have summoned all my lovers to listen to your thoughts on the general situation of the world. This is a private banquet, and all my lovers can speak freely."

Yue Kingdom has long been the beacon of Dongzhou, not only the exotic clothes and convenience facilities that are easier to be accepted by the upper class nobles, but also many advanced concepts.

Since Guoding, the name Yueguo has been taking root in the minds of generations.

Although some people still use barbarians to insult Yue people and Jiangdong people, Yue and Jiangdong are no longer called barbarians.

Especially recently, Chen Taiyi has copied poems and sold books, and put his copied poems in major bookstores. He has gained a lot of fame among literati and ladies, and his fans are all over the world.

The most important thing is the imperial examination system. The imperial examination system cooperates with Chen Taiyi's literary talents, so that scholars all over the world have a good impression of the country.

Even around King Zhou, there are many people collecting Chen Taiyi's poems and books.

Even the King of Zhou imitated Chen Taiyi and set up the King of Zhou Ding, and there is no psychological burden to continue to imitate.

Zhou Wang Ding is really easy to use. Everyone in the Zhou Kingdom knows the power of this tripod, so everyone from top to bottom pays close attention to the trends and novelty products of the Yue Kingdom.

Sikong, who was in charge of water conservancy, stood up and asked: "My lord, there are so many things in the world, such as water conservancy, money and food, military affairs, human population, and hundreds of officials. I don't know where to start?"

King Zhou had something he wanted to ask a long time ago, so he said directly: "Starting from the general trend of the world in the future, what does Aiqing think about the general trend of the world?"

Sikong said frankly: "I believe that the general trend in this world is that gathering less makes more."

"Aiqing sit down and talk about it, and give me wine." King Zhou waved his hand and ordered the officials below to serve the wine.

"I am very grateful." Sikong bowed and saluted, then sat down and waited for the maid to serve the wine, then sat upright and continued to express his opinion.

"The minister is in charge of water conservancy. In the past years, there was nothing to do, and he always lived in peace and worry-free. But since the appearance of the Guoding, the mountains and rivers have changed, and the aura of heaven and earth has gathered here like a river of spirits."

"The place where the Spirit River gathers is full of vegetation and everything grows. The people gather here to live and work in peace and contentment. The tax they pay is surplus every year. The surplus money is used to build water conservancy and hire hunters to drive away the demons and ghosts that are also attracted by the spirit."

"The more people there are, the stronger the aura will be, and more and more business travelers will be attracted to come and settle down."

"Smooth weather is a symbol of a strong country. Seasons change, birth, old age, sickness and death are the legal principles that ordinary people and weak countries should have."

"I found out that in the past two years, people from Lu Kingdom, Jiangjing Kingdom, and Wei Kingdom have all migrated to our Zhou Kingdom."

"The state of Lu has been defeated repeatedly, its national strength is weak and empty, and it has no ability to protect the whole world. The wise people in the country have long been aware of it and made plans early."

"Since the death of the Great General Wei Zheng in Weiguo, many literati and merchants have moved to our place, buying land and houses, and bringing gold, silver and jewelry."

"Many people came to us when Jiangjing Kingdom was captured, and many people came to us after it was occupied."

"In the last month, the Nayue Kingdom expelled the monks and Buddhas, forcing a large number of monks and Buddhas to join the Lu State and the Wei State. Now the Wei State has subdued the Buddhist sects such as Wanfo Mountain and Leiyin Temple without any effort."

"The monks in our country will be more honest in the future. This is the luck of the Zhou Kingdom. If you gather together, you will become many, and you will be indestructible!"

King Zhou smiled, he likes this kind of thing that you can win while lying down.

The Wuming Elder of the Yin Yang Sect suddenly said: "There is something wrong with what Sikong said."

King Zhou looked at Wuming, "What's wrong?"

Elder Wuming said: "Yesterday, the king of Yue dealt with the monk Fadu who offended him. He should be named Fahai and ordered him to build a pagoda for him in Donghai City. Preaching for alms."

Sikong looked at Elder Wuming calmly, "Elder Wuming has been in the Yin Yang Sect for a long time, so he doesn't know everything about the outside world."

"Why don't I know?" Elder Wuming looked at Sikong with a cold face, "Please enlighten me!"

As a civil servant, Sikong didn't like these immortal cultivators, and he also knew that these immortal cultivators hated others laughing at them, so he put on a straight face.

"The king of Yue imposed controls on temples and Taoist temples in various places. He not only collected taxes, but also arranged for people to enter the temples to keep accounts. The most important thing was that the taxes he set were the same as those of brothels. This is clearly a shame!"

"From my point of view, the king of Yue humiliated the Buddhists everywhere, and the Buddhist masters from all over the place will definitely not be able to bear it. At that time, the Yue Kingdom will never be allowed to grow!"

King Zhou thought it made sense, and he quickly had an idea because of his talent and boldness.

"Wuming, do you think what Sikong said makes sense?"

Wuming said frankly: "The old Taoist has lived in the valley for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the outside world."

King Zhou didn't want to hear this, "You concluded that King Yue died young, did you make a mistake?"

Wuming was already a little uncertain at this time, so he said bravely: "Afterwards, I did the calculations several times, and the king of Yue did have the appearance of an early death, and all the signs are also the appearance of an untimely death."

"Not only the King of Yue, but according to some reports from the sky, the immortal behind the King of Yue will not be here for long. Within three months at the latest, he will definitely rush into reincarnation and move to a place other than Dongzhou."

King Zhou nodded in satisfaction.

The rest of the people already roughly understood what King Zhou wanted to hear.

"My lord, now the state of Lu is weak, the state of Wei is empty, the fate of the Yue state is not long, and the rest of the small states are nothing to worry about. The day when the state of Zhou will rule the world is just around the corner!"

"The sage has great talent and strong luck. Since he ascended the throne, he has been worshiped by all directions, and he is sitting on the iron barrel. Now the world is in his hands, and he should be the king!"

King Zhou smiled, knowing that these courtiers were all sycophants, and said with a smile: "My loves are too high, don't talk about these things that don't exist today, first talk about how to use this opportunity to strengthen our country's prestige."

The big and small Zhou queens didn't speak, and the two never expressed their opinions when the king of Zhou and the officials were present.

Sikong said: "I think that since the king of Yue drove away the Buddhist monks, we should do the opposite!"

"There are mostly demons and ghosts in the Yue Kingdom, and the elites are the demon army and mechanical tyrannosaurus. If we can form monks to fight those monsters and monsters, when we meet on the battlefield, we will definitely hit the dragon!"

King Zhou was told by Sikong that it was indeed necessary.

King Zhou, who had always been imitating Yue, said majesticly at this time: "The barbaric land of Yue really needs enlightenment!"
