NOVEL NEXT Chapter 142: Popular Expectations Are Hard to Defy
Once the secret realm of Zhuxiang is made public, it will not be difficult to find out who discovered it.
Prince Qi Wang said that even if he hid his reputation, it would not make much sense.
Those stubborn and radical traitors would still find Zhou Yuan, so it is better to enjoy the reputation that is equal to the risk openly.
In addition, the rewards for achievements made at different ages are also different.
If Zhou Yuan was afraid of being burdened by his reputation and chose to hide his name, and wanted to make it public when he regretted it, it would just be a random story.
And the consistent policy of the Wei Dynasty is that thieves avoid officials, and it is impossible for them to look back and forth and hide because of some unfavorable factors.
Therefore, Prince Qi Wang told Zhou Yuan that retreating would be fruitless and only fighting for survival, and there was no need to worry about those stubborn traitors. If they dared to come, the Wei soldiers would be able to wipe them out.
In the mouth of Prince Qi Wang, some organizations that inherited the two schools of seal gods and talismans were peaceful and stable, while others were radical and rebellious.
Those radicals followed the ancient style and refused to accept the status quo. They launched rebellions in various dynasties and always caused trouble.
"Don't think they really believe in Fu Gong and intend to uphold Fu Gong's will and protect the world.
I don't deny that the disciples of Fu Gong were very enthusiastic at the beginning, but time will change many things.
The current Fu Gong doctrine is mostly used to unite people's hearts. Few of the rebel leaders really worship Fu Gong. They just need justice."
The words of Prince Qi Wang are easy to understand. The core of Fu Gong's doctrine is to control the secret realm and not eat the outside world's heavenly blessing.
This kind of thought can easily resonate with ordinary people, because they can't touch the spiritual objects in the secret realm. As long as they are guided, they will feel dissatisfied.
In addition, the justice of sealing the secret realm and saving the world makes those rebel organizations have extremely strong vitality.
Prince Qi Wang didn't know that Zhou Yuan's words were all ceremonial.
He has the spirit mirror technique that can replace injuries, the desperate resurrection that consumes attribute values to revive, and a large amount of blood medicine and blue medicine. He is not afraid of the radicals of the two sects of seal gods and ghosts.
But there is a benefit to saying this. The crown prince Qi Wang handed him an intelligence document.
It recorded the names of the rebellious organizations with the two schools of seal gods and talismans as the core.
Such as the Xingxiu Sect, the Great Sun Sect, and the Haoyue Society of the seal gods, and the Youmingtian, Chiyantian, Fenglei Department, and Xuanshui Department of the talisman ghosts.
The reason why Dawei knew so clearly was that these organizations were not quiet even now, and they would always jump out from time to time to make trouble.
"Your Highness, with the power of the court, can't they be eliminated?"
"It's very difficult. For example, the sponsor behind the Xuanshui Department is the Hengjiang Water Clan.
They hide in various water palaces from time to time, and sneak into various countries to fool the people to preach from time to time, which not only set off rebellions, but also provided human sacrifices for the Hengjiang Water Clan."
Fu Gong's doctrine was alienated after all. If he knew that his doctrine would cause such consequences, he would definitely regret it.
When Zhou Yuan left the crown prince's tent and returned to his temporary residence, Du Yi was waiting inside.
"Hey, this is the exchange promised by those noble sons.
I told them to think about it overnight and give them an answer tomorrow. Take a good look and tell me the name of the one you choose."
Du Yi was very reliable and did not make the decision for Zhou Yuan, but recorded it in a document for conveying.
"Brother Zhou, I have something to tell you. You are now the commander of the Imperial Guards and the deputy governor of the Imperial Household.
Add to that the title of Zhuxiang County Magistrate promised by the court, and you will have three spiritual salaries to eat."
"The family inheritance has two hundred households of food and land. Although it is not rich, it is enough for the descendants to live.
Therefore, I suggest you not to choose any spiritual objects that replenish your energy or farms and villas.
It is best to choose something that can increase your strength. Only when you go further can your gains benefit your descendants smoothly."
"Thank you for your teaching, Brother Du. I only need a house to live in, and I don't ask for thousands of acres of fertile land.
I should respect Brother Du's words and get more martial arts and weapons to protect the present."
Du Yi's worries are not unreasonable. Zhou Yuan opened the document and saw that it was really dazzling and rich.
The handwritten martial arts among them were indeed less attractive in front of the wealth that could fill the family in an instant.
Not to mention that there are all kinds of spiritual objects for replenishing qi. If Zhou Yuan is a normal warrior, he will definitely choose to take more spiritual objects for replenishing qi.
But he is not short of blue medicine, and will not be attracted by those spiritual objects with the highest apparent value.
"Brother Du, that's not right. Why are the original martial arts so rare, but the manuscripts are so diverse."
"This is normal. The martial arts that can be given to you are not ordinary and difficult to obtain.
Some even suffered heavy casualties and were obtained with difficulty. After obtaining the secret method of martial arts, they stationed troops all year round and no longer reset the secret realm.
So even if their family has the original, they will keep it for family heirloom and will not easily give it to outsiders."
The original is better than the manuscript, this is a consensus that goes without saying.
One is produced by a bloody battle in the secret realm, and the other is a man-made replica. There is no need to say more about the difference.
But these noble children have not yet inherited the family business, and the resources they can leverage are relatively limited. It is impossible for them to take out the family assets in the mansion for their own future.
After all, the huge mansions of dukes and marquises are not theirs alone, and the ones who can really make the decision are their fathers.
"Why is Brother Zhou so obsessed with the original martial arts? The handwritten copies that can be obtained from the mansions of dukes and marquises can basically be reproduced one-to-one, and the handwriting and pictures are almost the same."
"Brother Du doesn't know, I always feel enlightened and gain a lot when I read the original.
That feeling is hard to explain, as if the original has more charm than the handwritten copy."
"What Brother Zhou said is not uncommon among martial artists. My father also said that it is easier to get started by reading the original martial arts.
But the output of mysterious martial arts is limited, and the most widely circulated ones are still handwritten copies.
Since they can all practice it, with Brother Zhou's talent, if he studies more, he will naturally gain something. "
Du Yi had a blind trust in Zhou Yuan. He believed that Zhou Yuan had an extraordinary fate, good luck, and great talent.
This was also the general view of the people of Wei on Zhou Yuan. Even if he showed some shortcomings, everyone would think that the martial arts were not suitable for him, not that he had limited talent.
This caused a big problem. The children of the nobles wanted to win by quantity when giving gifts, and they would give as many handwritten copies as possible.
Some even planned to go to the Treasure House to buy some handwritten copies to make up for the number, focusing on a large quantity, practicality, and sincerity.
But no one thought about refining the gifts and giving a few martial arts copies to show sincerity.
At this moment, Zhou Yuan suddenly felt a sense of being burdened by his reputation. After all, everyone had too high expectations of him, and he could not show his shortcomings.
"Just choose these six. After they join the team tomorrow, Brother Du will have to restrain them more."
"Of course, my father has some face in the capital, and they will definitely not be presumptuous to me. "
Du Yi took the list handed over by Zhou Yuan and frowned slightly.
"Brother Zhou, you selected three people with the most sincerity and three people with average sincerity. Do you have any explanation?"
"Yes, the most sincere ones need no further explanation. The other three even took out their original martial arts at home. Most of them have done their best.
I was born in a humble family and know the difficulties of a poor family. Although I am unable to take care of the public, I am willing to do my best to help my colleagues and classmates."
"Brother Zhou is righteous, Du Yi admires it."
