Chapter 90
The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit.
It is difficult for people and things from ancient times to the present to escape this sentence. The same is true for so many people from the martial arts world gathered in Yao Town.
The ability to attract so many people from the martial arts world to come together is enough to show how attractive the benefits they are.
In fact, even when he heard the things that the people in the inn were talking about, he couldn't help but feel an impulse in his heart after hearing what the gangsters in the inn were talking about.
...
It has been almost six years since the Emperor of the current ascends the throne.
Six years are not short, but it is definitely not very long.
Some things that happened when the late emperor died six years ago have not been completely forgotten. If no one mentioned the people and things at that time, they may gradually be forgotten, and eventually become blurred like the people and things that were forgotten dozens or hundreds of years ago.
But as long as someone mentions it, the memories that have not been completely smoothed in just six years will be remembered again.
And this time, the name Ji Xiao gathered here regardless of sect.
Of course, more people like to add two words in front of it: "Demon Monk".
Although the emperor has always liked to call himself "Son of Heaven", it is obvious that the son of heaven cannot last forever and be immortal like his "father"...
So the First Emperor ordered Xu Fu to go out to sea to seek immortals and seek medicine, and Emperor Wu of Han sacrificed to heaven for immortality... Looking at the history of China for more than two thousand years, there are few emperors who have never had the idea of seeking immortality, especially when they see that they have bright hair in the mirror, wrinkles on their faces, and feel that their bodies are becoming increasingly weak, and their lives are inevitably coming to an end, how could the emperor with great power sit and wait for death?
Even if the thousand-year history of Changbai gave them clear records, they would not be willing to give up the slightest possibility.
This is the time for speculators to revel.
Compared with the previous "predecessors", the late emperor obviously has a more "awareness of crisis".
After just ascending the throne, he began to reward the monks and Taoists so that the "Immortals and Buddhas" in his eyes could seek longevity for him or wealth in the next life.
Jixiao is one of them.
Although he started a little late, Jixiao was the most successful one. Since he relied on Liang Fang, the chief of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, to meet the Imperial Emperor, Jixiao relied on various so-called magical techniques to gain the trust of the Imperial Emperor. His most "glorious" deed was to lure the Imperial Emperor to issue an order to build the Da Yongchang Temple in the western city of the capital, forcing hundreds of households to move, and spend hundreds of thousands of national treasury.
In the court, he had no good feelings for Ji Xiao, but relying on the trust of the late emperor and Liang Fang and other party, Ji Xiao remained safe until the death of the late emperor.
However, compared with those accomplices, Jixiao could clearly see the danger coming.
So when the late emperor's body became weaker, Ji Xiao found a way out for himself.
He used the excuse that his widowed mother was too old to beg for support.
The late emperor was naturally unwilling to let him go, but the excuse of the state governing the world with filial piety and Ji Xiaoqiu's adoptive mother forced the late emperor to agree to him. Of course, in order to reward him, the "expert" for so many years, the late emperor also agreed to him a request - a blank certificate of five hundred!
When the news came out, there was a lot of curses in the court, and a strong wind blew up from the rivers and lakes.
Although the certificate of the sacrificial certificate seems to be of no use, it is just a proof of the identity of the monk and Taoist Taoist, those who really understand it obviously do not see it like this.
Although the state dynasty had abandoned the privilege of exempting corvee and taxes from monks and Taoists of the previous dynasty from labor service and rent, its effect was still very great, especially for those who committed serious crimes.
As long as there is a blank certificate of sacrificial decree, they can immediately change their appearance and have a new and legal identity. Therefore, a blank certificate of sacrificial decree is a life in the eyes of those who have committed serious crimes or even death sentences.
And Ji Xiao had five hundred wizards in his hands!
So, those who committed serious crimes stared at Ji Xiao, who was about to leave Beijing, hoping to grab a man, change his face and save his life. And those who were not guilty of the crime also stared at Ji Xiao. After all, many people who could buy something that could be bought with a life, probably would be willing to pay a price that satisfies them.
But these people forgot the title before the word Ji Xiao - "Demon Monk".
There were not many parties involved in the incident that year, and the strong blockade of Jixiao's news by the court also made Tianji Pavilion dare not sell Jixiao too much.
Therefore, most people can only rely on their own guesses as to what the process is. However, people who were already exploring the world at that time still remember the result of the matter.
When he left the capital, Ji Xiao was only a few little monks around him. A month later, there were nearly fifty monks wearing monk robes and scalded heads. But it was obvious that these monks who had never read a book of scriptures were better at killing people.
He was secretive about how Jixiao tamed these lawless, arrogant, frivolous, cruel and bloodthirsty scum in the world, both in the court and in the world.
People only know that during those years, those famous and upright sects who always call for justice to themselves and call for "eliminating harm to the martial arts world" always avoid Ji Xiao and the so-called monks under him when they act, even if everyone knows that most of them are the "great harm to the martial arts world" they call.
There are even many famous sects with embarrassing identities that directly announce that they will not interfere in the affairs of the world. It was not until recent years that the mountain gate was opened and the disciples were sent down the mountain to make their name, making the sect famous.
And those evil sects who have always been incompatible with those famous and upright sects, who are used to doing things by themselves and acting extremely, also avoid Jixiao like a scorpion. In order to avoid being classified as evil sects by the people in the martial arts world, Jixiao and his group of people were classified as "demonic sects".
It is obvious that these sects of Jianghu that have been passed down for a long time longer than the national dynasty can see clearly that no matter how powerful Ji Xiao’s power is or how many masters he has collected, he cannot protect his life. If he has something to do with him, it will not be a good thing.
Sure enough, after the death of the late emperor, the civil servants in the court who had endured Ji Xiao for too long immediately began to settle the liquidation, and a mere sixth-rank censor decided Ji Xiao's fate.
