Xiaoqing grabbed Bai Suzhen's clothes with both hands. She had always been cunning and arrogant, fearless of everything, but now she looked like a frightened little quail.

She moved her steps unconsciously and hid behind Bai Suzhen, shrinking her neck slightly.

Not to mention her, even Bai Suzhen couldn't help but look frightened and worried.

In fact, no one could be moved by the scene before them.

Especially as a "monster".

far away.

horizon.

At some point, a colorful cloud appeared.

Stretching for thousands of miles.

Almost half of the sky was covered.

This extremely dazzling cloud is coming here at an extremely fast speed.

It's like the clouds in the sky have turned up huge waves that can submerge the earth, and they are surging.

With an irresistible attitude, it came with overwhelming pressure.

Bai Suzhen naturally knew that it was not a cloud.

But the mana aura of an unknown number of people was leaked.

There were hundreds of thousands, even more than tens of thousands, of practitioners who could fly into the sky and escape from the earth. The breath of magic power leaked out, and they became one.

It became this surging mana frenzy.

Tens of thousands of monks with strong moral character gathered together and came from heaven.

Not to mention she was a snake demon, even the Tang Dynasty court would be shocked.

But the fact is that these monks came in such a vast and shocking way. Wherever they passed, whether it was the imperial court or the local government, they were as blind and deafened. They could not see or hear, let alone no one.

Half a reaction.

This is undoubtedly extremely strange.

On the contrary, the colorful clouds rolled in all over the sky, shocking the world, and countless people were alarmed. No matter where they were or what they were doing, they all stopped and looked up.

Everyone looked panicked.

Especially when I saw the shadows of people among the clouds.

I don’t know if it’s a fairy or a god, a demon or a devil.

However, most of them were not very worried, but instead kowtowed incessantly.

Such a majestic voice, so dazzling and colorful, with a vague fairy spirit, it can't be a demon, right?

Can a demon have such a fairy-like appearance?

Moreover, during the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, what monster dared to be so bold and so powerful that it shocked the world?

Are you tired of living a crooked life?

This must be a trip to the immortal family, an auspicious thing that can only be found in prosperous times!

Among the Guantian Villa in Suzhou.

Wang Yi looked at the clouds and fairy aura in the sky, and there was no joy at seeing the auspiciousness. Instead, his face was full of shock, mixed with deep shock and anger.

"He, they...how dare they?"

In front of him, in the courtyard of the other courtyard, the great scholar Huang Shu stood with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the sky, frowning and stroking his beard, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips: "Why don't they dare?"

"Others follow the righteous path of heaven and earth, uphold the great righteousness of the universe, and protect the common people. Their merits are immeasurable, and they have their destiny, so what should they fear?"

"The Head Court..."

Wang Yi stared at Huang Ming with wide eyes, as if he didn't recognize him.

It wasn't because of the other party's flattering words, but because he could hear the deep dissatisfaction in them.

Master, you are also a famous scholar all over the world, how come you have learned the accent of this old Yin Yang?

"cough……"

Huang Ming felt his gaze, woke up, and coughed dryly to cover up his gaffe.

He added: "Don't be surprised. This day will come sooner or later, and your Majesty and the nobles have already prepared for it."

Wang Yi was thoughtful after hearing the words.

The scene in front of these righteous monks was nothing short of rampant.

Probably because to this day, although the Tang Dynasty court is very tolerant towards the spiritual community, it is impossible to just let it go, and it is inevitable to have some control over it.

It has its own relevant laws and regulations, which are considered as the rules for the behavior of practitioners.

Today's scene, if the court were to take it seriously, they would be able to convict him of a grave crime of having no law and disturbing the people's livelihood!

It is not an exaggeration to strip off one's Taoist credentials and enter the mortal world, even if it takes their lives.

But judging from Huang Zhangyuan's attitude, it seems that although the imperial court was tolerant and tolerant of these orthodox sects, it had already been on guard against them.

And what happened today seems to be part of some kind of plan.

Wang Yi came from a famous family, and his ancestors were one of the only Confucian scholars in the world today, so his knowledge was naturally extraordinary.

Although there are not many experts in the world who can understand the secrets of heaven and predict the past, there are also many.

Not too surprised by this.

It's just that the righteous sect in the world is so powerful that even the imperial court cannot easily touch it.

I can't help but have some doubts and worries in my heart.

He couldn't help but ask tentatively: "In charge of the courtyard, could it be..."

"hehe,"

Huang Ming waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to say more.

He smiled and said: "It is not easy for the people to live in peace. The righteous sect is deeply rooted. A single move can affect the whole body, and the influence is huge. But if you are negligent, it will be a disaster."

"Therefore, this matter has been decided a hundred years ago. What happened today is just a coincidence. It is either this or the other. It must happen this way."

Although Huang Zhangyuan didn't say it clearly, Wang Yi already understood.

The imperial court is really planning to take action against the Zhengdao Sect.

In fact, if we talk about the princes in the court, who is the most dissatisfied with these so-called righteous sects and has the most extreme attitude, it is none other than the ancestor of the Wang family, Mr. Linchuan, who is famous all over the world.

According to the intention of his ancestors, all the people in the world are the king's land, and all the people on the shore of the land are the king's ministers. No one can be an exception.

These monks, regardless of whether they are Buddhists or Taoists, occupy famous mountains and dominate fertile soil, do not care about people's livelihood, occupy a wide range of resources, waste money, and yet they do not win the hearts of the people.

In fact, it is the first-class rat cancer in the country.

He repeatedly remonstrated with the Emperor.

It is said that the mighty virtue can only come from the human emperor, and all thunder, rain and dew should be regarded as the emperor's favor.

How can we allow a group of outsiders who have nothing to do with production to take advantage of destiny and steal people's hearts?

The imperial court should have the heart of a strong man to break his arm, suppress it with a large army, set foot on famous mountains, overthrow famous religions, destroy its orthodoxy, and collect all his virtues in the imperial court!

It's totally treasonous!

As soon as such a shocking theory came out, it was natural that he was not liked by the monks all over the world. Many monks in the sect even wanted to eat his flesh and chew his bones.

If these sects did not claim to be righteous and bound by moral principles, their ancestor Wang Anshi would not be easy to deal with, and the Wang family would probably never find peace.

Although Wang Yi came from the Wang family, she did not completely agree with her ancestors' opinions. Although she did not dare to be dissatisfied with her ancestors, she often sighed secretly.

Now it seems that it is not just wishful thinking of his ancestors, but that the imperial court has secretly unified its determination and has been planning for an unknown period of time.

"You don't have to worry too much."

Seeing that his expression was constantly changing, Huang Ming expressed relief, and then showed an inexplicable smile and said: "Wang Yi, do you know how many jurisdictions there are in the world? How many state capitals? How many counties?"

Today, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is extremely vast, reaching far beyond the ancient times.

However, the world is still divided into regions at the Dao, prefecture, prefecture, and county levels.

Wang Yi was naturally familiar with this. Hearing this, he said proudly: "There are forty-nine roads in total, with more than 700 prefectures and more than 3,800 counties."

Compared with the previous peak of Xuanzong, this number has not increased much except for the Taoist level. It only includes the surrounding Turks, Tuyuhun, Goryeo and other foreign states. The number of lower prefectures has more than doubled, not to mention the counties.

The number has increased more than ten times.

With such a strong momentum, it is no wonder that Wang Yi and Yourong Yan looked proud.

Huang Huang nodded and stroked his beard, then smiled and said, "Guantian Courtyard has separate courtyards in various places. How many are there?"

Wang Yi had doubts in his heart, but he was not hesitant to speak: "Every road and state capital has its own courtyard, and there are so many counties in the world, and the situation is complicated. Setting up separate courtyards will waste people and money, and there is no one to send them, but they are added every year.

Now, there are three thousand."
