Chapter 184: The Forbidden Savior (Part 1)

Relying on a marketplace outing, Zhang Gui dispelled many negative emotions accumulated on Xianrong Island.

Zhang Gui walked into the right hall of the Guiyang Palace under the night.

In the huge square room that was a thousand paces long and wide, the "Shadow Water Spirit Wall" was placed in the center.

In the shadow water, the jade talisman book recording the cultivation techniques

was reflecting the cracked information onto the spirit wall at an extremely slow speed.

The twenty-four solar term Qi methods that Zhang Gui has mastered are three, namely Beginning of Spring, Rainwater, and Awakening of Insects.

Next should be the Spring Equinox, also known as Midday or Rising Equinox in ancient times.

It is a solar term that connects the preceding and the following, although important, it has nothing special.

On the contrary, the solar term after the Spring Equinox, "Pure Brightness," is very supernatural.

At this time, the earth presents a scene of spring harmony and bright scenery, plants begin to sprout new branches and buds, all things sprout, responding to celestial phenomena above and opening earth burials below.

According to the ancient classic "Huainan Heaven and Earth Text," it is:

"After the Spring Equinox, the Dipper points to Yi, the Pure Brightness wind arrives, and earth things transform and generate."

And the Pure Brightness wind is the cool and clear wind.

"Earth things transform and generate" refers to the dead bodies buried underground; if they have not rotted into silt at this time, new souls may be produced.

So since ancient times, this day has been a "good day" for people to pay homage to the dead and pray for them not to cause trouble.

"Spring Equinox, Pure Brightness.

Two more cultivation techniques have been unlocked, very good, very good."

Looking at the cultivation technique secrets on the "Shadow Water Spirit Wall," Zhang Gui felt even more comfortable.

He simply sat on the ground and began to enter the Dao of the Spring Equinox and Pure Brightness methods.

After three quarters of an hour.

The main Spirit Cong "Tai Sui Enters Spirit" in his brain began to run automatically with the operation of the new cultivation technique.

Black paste gushed out from the Lu Gate, evolving into a dark vision of thunder and rain.

After an unknown amount of time, living things began to emerge on the fungal mat derived from the black paste.

Their body structures were strange and bizarre, but they moved freely and vividly.

It was not until the sky turned white and a warm sun slowly rose from the sea level that all the visions finally ended.

And Zhang Gui, who had been dull from entering the cultivation technique, also regained his agility.

He stood up and moved his legs and feet.

He took the jade talisman book out of the "Shadow Water Spirit Wall,"

hid it in a brocade pouch, and put it back into his arms.

He walked out of the right hall of the Guiyang Palace.

Because of the increase in the True Dragon Kingdom's population, the so-called national employment positions have become more and more specialized.

For example, the management personnel of the "Guiyang Palace" have increased a lot.

Even if Zhang Gui appeared suddenly, as long as it was in public places such as squares, main halls, guard rooms, etc.,

someone would inevitably appear at the first time to provide him with service.

"Prepare a buffet breakfast of beef, ten catties of shrimp paste, lettuce, and roasted flatbread.

Then invite Mr. Song, General Sang Gui, Chief Liu Zhenhe... to my bedroom for a meal."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The beautiful and capable female secretary officer answered crisply and turned to pass the order.

At the same time, another secretary officer immediately took her place.

Waiting closely for Zhang Gui's next order...

This is the rule of the "Imperial Secretary First-Responsibility System" that has just been implemented not long ago.

It stipulates that all secretary officers appear in front of the Emperor in turns to provide him with service.

At the same time, when a secretary officer receives Zhang Gui's clear order, they must leave to handle his order.

Instead of passing this order to others to handle.

It is said that this is to prevent the Emperor's orders from being misunderstood by "three people making a tiger."

In fact, Zhang Gui understands that the purpose of the True Dragon Kingdom's court doing this is to avoid having secretary officers serve him closely for a long time and develop feelings.

Then form a special power organization similar to the "Inner Court" of the Eastern Continent's royal family, thinning the government's power.

And this is actually not the intention of any official.

Similarly, no national official, not even Song Wenhua or Gui Sang, can stop it.

Because this is the will of the Pearl Weaving.

It is the exclusive will of power that automatically appeared after the True Dragon Kingdom's many power organs truly took shape and gained their own "vitality."

Regarding this, Zhang Gui, who came from a civilized and enlightened technological world, although he felt a sense of inexplicable disgust, did not raise any objections...

About two quarters of an hour later, in the bedroom of the Guiyang Palace.

Many ministers of the True Dragon Kingdom surrounded their Emperor, gathered around a ten-seat bluestone round table, and ate heartily.

They had noble status in the True Dragon Kingdom, and even the lowest-ranking ones had been refined by Zhang Gui into ten-Stone Corpse soldiers, none of them were ordinary people.

Knocking on marrow and sucking bones, eating ten or twenty catties of sauce-scented beef in one breath, and pairing it with flatbread was not a problem at all.

However, accompanying the Emperor for a meal, no one would really eat foolishly there.

Observing Zhang Gui's movements, seeing that his speed of eating and drinking slowed down.

He picked up two pure Pu pills from the plate in the middle of the table and put them into his mouth.

Everyone put down their chopsticks in unison.

"You guys keep eating, you keep eating.

I am just satisfying my mouth now, no need for food pills, it's too time-consuming.

You guys can still eat your fill normally now, so don't live your lives hungry."

"Your Majesty, everyone is full," Song Wenhua said with a smile.

Zhang Gui didn't force it, just picked up a pure Pu pill himself, broke it open, and shared it with the ministers,

"The nutrition contained in one pure Pu pill is equivalent to a hundred catties of refined meat.

Eating a whole pill will hurt your body, so just share it.

Share the rest as well, and take them back for your families to taste.

I found that the Heavenly Craft level metal works look like little flying men, but three of them can support an elixir room.

We will have plenty of this stuff in the future."

Hearing the Emperor say this, the ministers naturally flattered him.

Some even said that Zhang Gui's brilliance responded to heaven, which is why the True Dragon Kingdom encountered disasters and turned them into auspicious signs, with auspicious signs appearing frequently.

Zhang Gui naturally wouldn't believe the nonsense in such people's mouths, waved his hand and said:

"There is no such thing as imperial merit responding to heaven.

It was just that I walked on the streets of our Shishi Capital last night, listened to a few long stories, and encountered an interesting thing..."

He roughly told the story of meeting the tall young man while going to the tea book hall for entertainment last night, and finally said:

"The prefix used by that Southern Red girl to address me was:

Supreme, merciful, and great, honor and nobility always reside in his body, as brilliant as the sun.

I didn't refute it at the time.

Because educating the general public about this kind of thing is meaningless and cannot be eradicated.

We can only ensure that our officials cannot deify me.

Don't hide it from everyone, I have admired ancient gods and demons since I was a child, and I want to master their supreme power!

But this kind of 'becoming a god' is completely different from deifying a leader.

To put it mildly, for the people of a small island nation like our True Dragon to always live a good life.

To put it broadly, for this human race, for the human race to survive forever,

relying on others is useless.

Including everyone 'you, me, and him' working harder and harder, realizing more and more to achieve:

Everyone as a dragon!

Only then can those great visions be realized!

Therefore, I plan to tell our citizens during the next square speech,

There has never been any savior, never, there has...

You are your own savior, savior, yourself..."

Speaking to this point, Zhang Gui suddenly fell onto the stone table.
