The most difficult system to open in history

Page 318

The journey from the holy altar to the very northern boundary city is not lonely, because every ten steps, there is an angry beast army wearing a ferocious beast armor, standing upright without fear of the extreme cold, responsible for guarding the Lord of Great Xia At the same time, the altar where the three of them were originally located sent rays of light piercing the void one after another. These were officials from various ministries who were ordered from Shenjing City.

The Furnace Elf led the way, and while Qiu Hengji and the three were walking, the old Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, who was somewhat old and naughty, suddenly seemed to think of something, turned his head, looked at Xi Hongchen who fell into silence again, and said directly :

"If my memory serves me right, girl, you just called this Radiant Army brother a fat man? The Radiant Army is His Majesty's personal guard, and everyone's identity is extremely mysterious. How could you recognize it, girl?"

After Old Shangshu's voice of doubt fell, he was unwilling to let go, blinked his eyes, and continued to joke:

"I said that you have been very strange since I just started, girl. It turns out that you have met an old acquaintance, and you are upset, but you girl have been in our Ministry of Industry these days, and it is you and the other two who are puzzling me How did you meet?"

As soon as this remark came out, not only the face of the world of mortals froze, but even the footsteps of the fat man leading the way paused slightly, and then Qiu Hengji's soft voice came from under the latter's hood:

"A year ago, Miss Xi was kind enough to save my life."

"It's a life-saving grace, old man, I understand, I understand!"

The old Shangshu suddenly showed an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and then he looked up to the sky and laughed, his smile was old and bold, and then he put his hands behind his back, shook his head and continued to speak slowly:

"At my age, I will envy these young people more and more, and you just happened to be born in the best and greatest era."

When the old Shangshu said this, he paused for a few breaths, then stretched out his right hand, pointing to the huge shadow that could be faintly detected in the darkness ahead, and the old voice continued to say:

"When you look at the so-called boundary city in front of you, you may think it is terrifying, like an unfathomable ancient giant beast, which will open its mouth to swallow everything in front of it at any time, but in fact, in my opinion, the old man, It's a Humvee waiting to be conquered."

As soon as this remark came out, both the fat man and the young girl were slightly taken aback, then the fat man spoke softly, and a very young voice came out:

"Old Shangshu is still full of confidence."

"Confidence is simply confidence."

The old minister of the Ministry of Industry chuckled, walked forward with his hands behind his hands, and continued to speak:

"Old man, I am very old, so I have experienced everything, whether it is war or peace, but I have never experienced a court as powerful as it is now, so if the land of Taixuan behind this gate is stronger than our Great Xia Countless times, I was the first one not to believe that old man.

"In my opinion, our Shenzhou Haotu and Taixuan land are like practitioners, old and young. In the early stage of cultivation, Taixuan land will indeed not be stronger by virtue of its natural talents, earth treasures and age bonus. But once the practice reaches a certain level, such as before reaching the sage level, it is not a mere material treasure and water grinding kung fu that can break through. At any time, the situation between the two may be completely reversed. Among them, those who come from behind can be found everywhere.”

After the old Shangshu finished speaking, he raised his hand to caress the white beard on his chest, his old but not cloudy eyes were shining brightly, then the fat man who was leading the way stopped in front of him, bowed down to salute the old Shangshu, and said: road:

"Master Shangshu has a great opinion, and the boy admires it."

"This old man doesn't have any high opinions. He usually utters vulgar words."

As soon as the fat man's voice fell, he heard a steady response from behind, and then they turned around, only to see two teams of soldiers of the northern army with blades lined up in the blue-white misty light of the altar behind them, When the murderous aura of iron and blood rose to the sky, among the soldiers of the northern army, a group of officials dressed in grand summer official uniforms walked hand in hand. Among the swaying black robes, there was an abyss-like momentum that was continuously condensed.

There are probably hundreds of these officials, lined up in two cultural relics, wearing their own official hats, hands alternately in front of their chests, walking, just like walking on the high platform of the Huangji Hall in the White Emperor Palace to participate in the morning court every day Meticulous.

These are the important ministers of all the four ranks of the Great Xia, and they represent the temples that occupy an absolute dominant position in the vast land of Shenzhou today.

As the saying goes, if you live in a high place in a temple, you will have an official air. Therefore, even if there are so many high-ranking officials in the Xia Dynasty, even if they are all people with low cultivation bases, the aura they condense is enough to make it difficult to look directly at them. I almost want to worship.

In a sense, what these officials represent is Great Xia!

Chapter 0897 But so what?

In the North Pole, outside Jiecheng, under the escort of the officers and men of the northern army, the cultural relics and hundreds of officials are headed by the Ministers of the Ministry of Soldiers, Officials, Criminals, Households, and Works. Since the position of the Minister of Rites in the Great Xia is currently lacking, the heads of the six ministries One is missing.

The five ministers stood at the front, and after the five people, the officials of various ministries were arranged in order according to their positions, and they filed towards Jiecheng where Zhao Yu was located.

Among these officials, there are many old men who are as old as the old Minister of the Ministry of Industry, even though they are already old, they still keep silent at this time, letting the cold air from the ten thousand years of solid ice under their feet go into their bodies Drilling, and then raised his head to stare at the huge shadow creeping in the darkness in front of him, with full horror in his eyes.

The person who just opened his mouth to tease the old Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was in front of the middle-aged Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. However, the closer he was to the extreme northern boundary city that relied on the sky and grounded, the more he could feel the boundless aura of the latter's vast and clear abyss. Therefore, officials who were still communicating with each other, such as Minister of the Ministry of Justice, fell into silence.

Suddenly, the entire team of hundreds of officials who were slowly moving forward came to a standstill, because looking forward from here, one could just see the two sentences on the door with the iron and silver hooks through the light of the mountain and sea map that flowed faintly above the boundary city. Large characters of verses, and an infinitely wide city gate that occupies the entire north.

For civil and military officials who saw the edge of the world for the first time, this was undoubtedly shocking, so after a long time, Shangshu Fangqian of the Ministry of Punishment slowly exhaled that breath and said:

"Although on the way here, the Sitian Supervisor had already greeted us, but what I saw with my own eyes, I still feel that it is very unreal, like a dream."

"Sending a mayfly to the world, like a drop in the vast ocean, we are really too small for the vast and boundless world, but I don't know how huge the world behind this city gate will be."

Among the Daxia officials, several old scholars from the cabinet were particularly impressed by this. These scholars had originally studied the nature of the cycle of everything in the world, but when the truth hidden in the vast land of Shenzhou was in front of them, they did not know what to do. Instead, it became unbelievable.

"Although I can accept it, I don't know how the countless people of Daxia accept this fact!"

Some officials sighed one after another, but this was also a difficult problem before the Daxia Temple, and then when there were different opinions, a very familiar tall and straight figure appeared directly in front of the officials.

Zhao Yu was tall and tall, wearing an imperial robe, and directly controlled all the void in the entire Arctic land in an instant, and then all the officials knelt down in unison, and the sound of greetings like a tsunami rose straight into the sky.

"Your Majesty, I will see you, Long live Your Majesty!"

Under the night sky at the northernmost tip of the vast land of Shenzhou, Zhao Yu stared at the front line and kneeled directly on the ice, and the officials who hadn't seen each other for several days did not speak, but remained silent. Watching quietly.

A person's gaze actually has weight, especially when the gaze of a supreme emperor gazes from top to bottom, the infinite imperial prestige contained in it is even heavier than a mountain.

Sensing the increasingly majestic gaze of the young emperor above, all the officials lowered their heads, and then heard Zhao Yu's plain imperial voice, which directly rang in their ears:

"As the saying goes, it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times. What you hear is always false, but what you see with your own eyes can only be believed. Therefore, I have called you here to let you see with your own eyes. What we will face next in Daxia , What exactly is the situation?"

While Emperor Huanghuang's voice continued to linger, the officials below who had lowered their heads raised their heads one after another, staring at the young figure in front of him, and behind the figure, the black city gate that covered the sky and the sun.

"As you can see, the vast land of Shenzhou we are in is actually a corner trapped by the city wall. It is one of the two immortal islands that sank into Guixu tens of thousands of years ago in the land of Taixuan. As far as the land of Taixuan is concerned, we are just an inconspicuous island."

Zhao Yu's voice constantly resounded in the void, like the roar of a whale in the deep sea. It was heard by all the officials, and even the entire sea of ​​consciousness was shaking back and forth. Afterwards, the young emperor continued to speak:

"The history of our human race, since it was recorded, will not exceed [-] years, but the development time of the Taixuan Land behind the gate is hard to measure with time.

"Furthermore, according to the information I have learned, the situation of the human race in Taixuan Land is not good. Perhaps it is the blood food raised by those ferocious races, which is no different from livestock."

Everything that Zhao Yu said was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of all the officials, making the latter's complexions more and more serious, and the coldness in their eyes became more and more intense, but the young emperor's The voice did not stop, but became louder and louder:

"I was here just now, and I stabbed the head of the female saint of the ice field with a knife, but this person from the land of Taixuan with the third eye is only the fifth statue of Xuemei Kingdom, what does this mean? You should be very clear in your heart."

After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the back. His whole face became more calm and majestic. The four cinnabar patterns on the entire brow burned directly, becoming a dazzling flame of the Great Dao that absorbed all the rays of light between heaven and earth. Then Diyin continued to roll out:

"This means that there are at least five terrestrial saints in the land of Taixuan in a country in Guangguang Taixuan, and the entire Land of Taixuan does not even know how many such countries there are. Saints who are rare in the era are not rare in the Land of Taixuan, and they also represent the luck of the Land of Taixuan, which is countless times greater!

"The enemies we have to face are no longer the uncivilized barbarians in the Southwestern Barbarian Forest, nor the grumpy and limited snowmen on the extreme northern snowfield, nor the Sun Empire with a deformed social form restricted by the innate environment. It is really profound, with an ancient civilization where saints sit in charge.

"This is a real life-and-death catastrophe that has been faced by the vast land of China for tens of thousands of years!"

Zhao Yu's voice was louder than the other, and behind it was the fact that there was a huge gap between the enemy and ourselves, just like a wave of crazy waves crashing down from heaven and earth, trying to shake the hearts of the civil and military officials kneeling below. They were all shot directly into the dust, making the main officials of the Great Xia Temple clenched their fists more and more tightly, and their expressions became more and more stern.

In the end, when the young emperor stopped speaking and continued to stare in front of him with flat and majestic eyes, the evil spirit emanating from the bodies of the civil and military officials kneeling below was like a volcano waiting to erupt, condensing to the extreme.

Under the glory of Great Xia, the human race is fearless!

"The land of Taixuan may be stronger than imagined."

Zhao Yu's voice followed, but in his tone, the original dignified expression disappeared, and it became extremely stable and indifferent. Afterwards, under the watchful eyes of all the officials, the young emperor raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said lightly Resounding through the sky again:

"But so what?"

Chapter 0898

"Unexpectedly, I am so old, but my blood is still boiling with a few words from His Majesty."

In the vast land of Shenzhou and the North Pole, the old minister of the Ministry of Industry stroked the white beard on his chest, and sighed softly to the girl beside him, Xi Hongchen. The old minister's face turned red after being excited, and his whole beard trembled. Shaking, the old eyes are even brighter than the young ones.

In fact, for the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, besides the nimble and skillful hands, the most important part is the eyes, and the old Shangshu knows the way, so his eyes are particularly shining.

It is said that the eyes are the windows of a person's soul, so the old minister of the Ministry of Industry, who has the longest position in the world among the six ministers, but does not show his sharpness, often sees through without telling the truth, the governor does not judge things, and only cares about his own duty The matter, won the golden mean.

After the old Shangshu's old voice fell, the young girl Xi Hongchen recovered from her stupefaction, and responded softly:

"Every time I see His Majesty, I think I'm looking at a god."

"That's also a powerful, loving god, isn't it?"

Old Shangshu smiled slightly, and then, under the leadership of the Radiant Army in front, he nodded to the officials who were free to explore the northern boundary city, and at the same time, together with the girl Xie Hongchen, stepped on the extremely hard ten thousand-year-old ice, Walk towards the bottom of the Arctic Boundary City.

The closer to the extreme northern boundary city, the more cracks and potholes on the solid ice in all directions, and the denser it is, which means that just here, an unimaginable battle of high-ranking monks broke out, and as the organ sect The Young Sovereign's ability to cleanse the world is also one of the best among the younger generation, so he looked around with more and more serious eyes.

"When I was a child, it coincided with the war, and I remember my mother often told me at that time, don't worry, the sky is falling, and there is a tall man holding it up."

Today's old Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry did not know why, and he spoke a lot. After his words fell, he turned his head and glanced at the girl who was listening beside him, and continued to speak:

"At that time, I was thinking, what kind of person is a tall person, who can even withstand the disaster of the sky, and then I realized that those people are actually the same as us, with two eyes and one nose , a mouth, so girl, why don't you give it a try and see if you can become that kind of person?"

As soon as Old Shangshu's soft questioning voice fell, Xi Hongchen's footsteps suddenly slowed down a bit, and then he turned his head to look at the former, with a look of surprise on his beautiful face, like amber eyes, full of doubts .

Then the old Shangshu smiled lightly, raised his hand and gently touched the head of the girl in front of him, and continued to speak:

"There is a specialization in art. We craftsmen are not as good as soldiers when we go to battle, we are not as good as counselors when it comes to eloquence and strategy, and we don't have the ability to move mountains and seas like monks. But craftsmen are an indispensable part of Great Xia, the foundation of the foundation. , I’m not talented, but I’ve stood up for Daxia’s craftsmen during my ten years as Minister of Industry, but I’m too old after all, and I can’t live for too long.”

Old Shangshu's words did not have too strong a sigh, but full of indifference, because at his age, he may have already seen the cycle of life and death clearly, but the girl in front of him washes the world, but her big eyes are filled with Look sad.

It is said that once a person reaches a certain point, he can vaguely feel that his time is approaching, so Lao Shangshu smiled and continued to say:

"Hongchen, go and take part in the imperial examination not long after. The imperial examination of the Ministry of Industry is different from other ministries. It focuses on engineering, and His Majesty has a broad mind, and he has no views of sects. He will not be biased because of your birth sect. The former head of the Confucianism sect and now the head of the Daxia Academy is the best example.

"Actually, in the midst of the great summer, there are people who have great ambitions and strive to stand up for others. There are many people. Girls, you have to remember that those who strive forward will never walk alone!"

Old Shangshu's words were filled with an extremely warm feeling, and then Xi Hongchen nodded heavily in front of him. Although he didn't reply, he was full of firmness, and then Old Shangshu turned around slowly, and continued to walk forward. The voice sounded again:

"Let's go, His Majesty specially left me to wait, there must be some important arrangements."

After all the officials dispersed and inspected freely, the North Pole really returned to its former lonely and cold appearance, because in order to allow officials with relatively low cultivation levels to survive in this northernmost place, the grand master of the Radiant Army The taboos directly opened up the prototype of their own country, covering the entire large-scale void.

From a bird's-eye view of the sky, the colorful and huge prototypes of the country are like umbrellas of heaven and earth opened, full of dreamy colors, and then under a giant blue umbrella, the old Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry led one behind. Xi Hongchen, who was in the body, came to Zhao Yu, saluted and greeted him.

Zhao Yu's eyes stared at the unusually ruddy old Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry for a long time, then his lips parted slightly, and a soft voice sounded:

"After Mr. Xu returns to God's capital, I will ask the people in the palace to bring a cup of tea to the house every day. You must remember to drink it."

As soon as this remark came out, Lao Shangshu bowed forward again, and then the voice came out:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En, but the old man has found a successor, so I have no regrets."

After the old Shangshu's indifferent voice fell, Zhao Yu turned his eyes to Xi Hongchen who was beside him. In the ebony black eyes, the girl's fiery red body was reflected, just like a thorny rose blooming alone in the winter snow field.

Then the young emperor withdrew his gaze, and the endless pressure on Xi Hongchen's entire body was instantly emptied, and then Zhao Yu's calm imperial voice sounded in his ears:

"Old Xu, I called you here because I have something to arrange."

"Your Majesty, please order!"

Old Shangshu bowed his head to accept the order, then Zhao Yu nodded and said slowly:

"I have heard that at the time when the mechanism sect was at its peak, it was even possible to create puppets that could absorb energy and act on their own.

After Zhao Yu finished speaking, Lao Shangshu turned his head and glanced at the girl beside him, and then continued to respond:

"Returning to Your Majesty, but there is this matter. This puppet was once the treasure of the organ sect. It is not afraid of pain when fighting, and it is not afraid of death. It can face the high-ranking grand master head-on, but."

When Lao Shangshu said this, after hesitating for a while, the voice came out again:

"However, it was cut in half by the master's sword, and now it is completely useless."

As soon as this remark came out, a strange color appeared in Zhao Yu's eyes. Everyone in Da Xia knew about the grievances between the Master and the Machine Sect, but few people knew that the Master cut off all the treasures of the Machine Sect. No wonder the former old queen always said that the master's mind is extremely small.

After Lao Shangshu's voice fell, Xi Hongchen beside him raised his head, spoke softly and continued:

"Returning to Your Majesty, this puppet has been repaired by the sect for most of the years, and it only needs a trace of the last soul to be completely restored."

"Soul?"

A murmured voice came from Zhao Yu's mouth, and then he stretched out his hand to step forward, and a ball of light emitting a faint green light flew out, and the emperor's voice sounded again:

"Let's see, is it feasible to use this artifact soul to refine puppets that can be remote or controlled by themselves?"

After finishing speaking, Lao Shangshu and Xi Hongchen looked up, and saw a Dao Soul in the shape of a huge chariot floating in the light sphere, and then the voice of the young emperor came again:

"I can ask the entire Ministry of Industry and all the craftsmen in Daxia to cooperate fully, but I have one request, mass production!

"Since it is not realistic or appropriate to build the Great Wall to enclose the entire Great Xia, the first step is to fill the coasts and borders of the entire 36 states of Great Xia with such puppets of catapults, so as to reduce the defensive pressure on Shanhaitu in the future!"

At the end of Emperor Huanghuang's voice, an extremely long-standing and unfamiliar word suddenly appeared in Zhao Yu's mind.

Self-propelled artillery!

Chapter 0899

The capital city of Daxia God belongs to the darkness of night, covering the entire huge and incomparably male city. The temperature difference between day and night in early spring in the northwest of Daxia is still very large. The wind, with a little bitterness.

Although the night was dark and dew heavy, the entire city of Shenjing was not completely plunged into darkness.

Inside the big city, little lights, like fireflies flying around in the darkness, are dotted with stars, exuding light like stars, and through the candle shadows on the doors and windows, one can see the people in the inner room who are burning lights at night. A scholar who reads.

The great imperial examination of the Great Xia court is about to start in the near future, so the scholars from the 36 states are making their final sprints, wanting to take this opportunity to enter the Great Xia Temple directly.

Although it is difficult to produce noble sons from poor families in ancient times, since the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, whether it is participating in the official examinations, or the selection of martial arts after joining the army, or the teachings of the Great Xia Academy, they have been committed to providing promotion paths for poor families. The philosophy of Yuzhishi lies.

Shenjing City in April, amidst the tranquility and tranquility, was also filled with a sense of deep restlessness, because at this time the imperial court was engaged in a foreign war, and it was on two fronts at the same time, and the scale was extremely large.
