Chapter 245 – The clouds of the Eastern Capital
Su Yun pondered for a moment and said, "If there is such a possibility, then Qin Wuling must have comprehended the technique of Spiritual Clone during the period of Ge Long in Tian Dao Yuan. Could he have created such a strange technique and supernatural power at that time? He was only a person from 150 years ago."
Even now, Spiritual Clone is an extremely remarkable technique and supernatural power, and even Qiu Shuijing, Di Ping, and Old Fox cannot see through it.
If Qin Wuling could create such a technique 150 years ago, then his talent was truly terrifying.
Ying Ying sighed, knowing that Su Yun was right.
If Qin Wuling had created the technique of Spiritual Clone at that time, then he could have faked his death during the burial of the dragon's tomb, deceived the Dragon Spirit and the human and demon races, and even fooled Han Jun.
But if he had survived the burial of the dragon's tomb, he had no reason to hide his identity for so many years and survive as Dan Qing.
"My guess is that after the burial of the dragon's tomb, Han Jun brought you and the pen monster to the Eastern Capital. Han Jun was penniless, so he sold the pen monster to his old friend Cen Bo. Han Jun changed his name to Xue Gongqing and re-entered Tian Dao Yuan, sending you to the Wen Yuan Ge as a book monster."
Su Yun speculated, "Cen Bo liked this book monster very much, so he named him Dan Qing. Dan Qing worshipped the Confucian sage Cen Bo as his teacher, and the miscellaneous saint Wen Guanshan was also studying Confucianism under Cen Bo. Dao Saint and Holy Buddha did not get along, but they had a common friend, Confucian sage Cen Bo. Therefore, Dan Qing and Wen Guanshan both had the opportunity to come into contact with the supernatural powers of Buddhism and Taoism."
Ying Ying listened attentively and suddenly said, "Wen Guanshan learned a lot, and he had dabbled in various schools of thought, but Dan Qing should have learned a lot too."
Su Yun nodded and said, "They also had a disciple named Lingyue. However, Lingyue was not content and after seeing the new learning from the West and the shortcomings of the old saintly skills, he decided to modify the old saintly skills. This caused the displeasure of Confucian sage Cen Bo, who expelled him from the school. Therefore, Lingyue became a discarded disciple of Confucianism and wandered outside. Fortunately, Left Censor returned from overseas and opened a Wen Chang Study."
Ying Ying's eyes lit up. "Wen Chang Study is very unique, taking a practical approach to learning, different from other schools. Therefore, it was ostracized by other schools and needed a scapegoat. Left Censor recruited Mr. Lingyue to be the scapegoat."
Su Yun asked, "So what was the reason that prompted Lingyue to modify the old saintly skills?"
Ying Ying pondered for a moment and suddenly shuddered. "This reason, just like the reason why Shuijing studied abroad, was the defeat of Yuan Shuo! The Great Yan Empire was defeated by the barbarians of that year! It was a huge shock that shook the hearts of everyone in Yuan Shuo, especially the scholars and intellectuals who took pride in Yuan Shuo's history and culture!"
Qiu Shuijing and his classmates either chose to study abroad and learn from the strengths of foreign countries, or chose to stay in the country and resist foreign aggression.
Left Songyan, who had been following Qiu Shuijing, also realized the decline of Yuan Shuo, but unlike Qiu Shuijing, he came from the bottom of Shuo Fang and believed that only by overthrowing the corrupt court could the fate of Yuan Shuo be changed!
Everyone has different choices.
"In this shock, the third disciple of Confucianism, Lingyue, chose to improve the old saintly skills. So what about the choices of Dan Qing and Wen Guanshan?"Su Yun was lost in thought and suddenly said, "Not long after the defeat of Yuanshuo, Emperor Ai died of depression. It's said that Miobidanqing investigated the cause of Emperor Ai's death and died because of it. Confucius Cen Bo investigated the death of Danqing and ended up hanging himself on the crooked-necked tree outside Tianmen Town."
Ying Ying said, "At that time, Zasheng Wenguanshan was already Yuanshuo's prime minister and had been honored as a saint of the miscellaneous family, one of the four great myths. When Emperor Ai died, he entrusted Yuanshuo to Wenguanshan and asked him to take care of the country."
Su Yun said, "Danqing started earlier than Wenguanshan, who is one of the four great myths. How far has Danqing's cultivation progressed? When did he break the memory seal left by Han Jun and awaken the memory of Qin Wuling?"
Ying Ying was stunned.
"After awakening his memory, he realized that he was no longer Danqing and that he had the complete 'True Dragon Sixteen Chapters.' After experiencing the dramatic changes caused by Yuanshuo's defeat, what was his choice?"
Su Yun whispered, "Danqing's choice caused a dramatic change. In this change, Emperor Ai died, Cen Bo died, and Wenguanshan also died."
Ying Ying shuddered. Su Yun's words were a bit vague, but she saw the scene.
Danqing sneaked into the palace at night, killed Emperor Ai, and then summoned Wenguanshan in the name of Emperor Ai and killed him.
He used Wenguanshan's identity to set up numerous traps and, with his own body, the pen, led his teacher Confucius Cen Bo to Tian Shi Yuan and Gui Shi.
Cen Bo came to Tian Shi Yuan to investigate the deaths of Danqing and Emperor Ai, and Danqing was waiting there, hanging his teacher.
Ying Ying shuddered again, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "The leader Qin Wuling is upright and cannot do such a thing. Qin Wuling's senior brother may really be dead."
Su Yun said, "So, Danqing is just someone who has Qin Wuling's memories."
Ying Ying nodded silently and suddenly said, "So, what was Danqing's reason for doing this? After Yuanshuo's defeat, he was greatly stimulated and chose another path, killing Emperor Ai, Zasheng, and Confucius. What was his goal?"
Su Yun was also puzzled.
Did Danqing do this just to take control of the power and satisfy his ambition?
Or did he want to become emperor himself and establish a new school by abolishing the old one?
"Perhaps only Han Jun knows his thoughts."
Su Yun suddenly said, "Ying Ying, although you were a witness to the Zonglong Tomb case, you don't really understand Qin Wuling. It's Han Jun who knows him best."
Ying Ying felt lost and said, "So where are these two now?"
Su Yun looked into the distance and said, "They are now at their weakest moment. Han Jun's two saint masks were broken by Shuijing, leaving only Xue Qingfu's mask, and Xue Qingfu is also seriously injured. Wu Tong and Jiao Shu'Ao are chasing after them. As for Danqing, no one knows where he is."
Hua Hu walked towards them, and Su Yun's heart suddenly moved. He quickly said, "Second Brother, where is your teacher Master Lingyue?"
Hua Hu said, "He hasn't been seen these days."
Su Yun's heart trembled, "Master Lingyue went to hunt down Danqing!"
His mind suddenly cleared, and he looked towards the misty Dongdu City.
35 years ago, after Yuanshuo's defeat, the elite of an era made different choices, and their impact has continued to this day and has become more and more intense!
The different choices made by the elites of that era have led to the outbreak of conflicts between them, resulting in the current situation of Yuanshuo!Ying Ying listened to his thoughts in his spiritual realm and silently thought to herself: "Su Scholar's assumption is based on the premise that Qin Wuling has already died. If Brother Qin did not die in the Zanglong Tomb case, then this decision would have come earlier..."
In the Zanglong Tomb case, the choices made by Han Jun and Qin Wuling, two top geniuses, led to their different paths in the future and affected the current situation.
If they both didn't die, the impact of the Zanglong Tomb case would continue.
"So, all these cases in Dongdu may actually be the same case."
Ying Ying blinked and thought to herself: "They may all have originated from the Zanglong Tomb case, starting from the fall of the dragon at the Tian Shi Yuan."
Su Yun began to prepare for his upcoming overseas trip. Most of the scholars dispatched overseas by the court this time were selected from the Tian Dao Academy.
In this Tian Dao Academy examination, there were many talented scholars selected by Su Yun using the "Sixteen Chapters of the True Dragon" as the assessment topic.
However, many of the ancient families had already received the news that this group of Tian Dao Academy scholars would be sent overseas, so they did not apply to the Tian Dao Academy.
Instead, the Imperial Academy in Xidu benefited greatly from this Tian Dao Academy examination, and these ancient family children ultimately chose the Imperial Academy.
Li Muge and Li Zhuxian were originally unable to pass the Tian Dao Academy examination. They only had a good foundation, but their comprehension was a bit lacking. Unexpectedly, they were accepted by the Tian Dao Academy!
"If our ancestral tomb was still there, it would definitely be shining brightly with golden light!" Li Muge clenched his fists and looked up at the sky.
Among the people hired by the Tian Dao Academy this time was Wu Tong, which surprised Su Yun: "The brothers and sisters of the Wen Chang Academy's Ge Wu Yuan have all been admitted to the Tian Dao Academy. As the eldest brother, I am very proud and honored!"
The twenty scholars of the Tian Dao Academy will all go overseas, and the date has been set for next month, which is June 3rd.
As the date approaches, news about the reforms gradually spreads. Qiu Shuijing has overall power and has issued new laws to reform land, mines, and reshape agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fisheries. He has also reformed the tax system, causing a lot of discussion among the people in Dongdu.
Su Yun took a look at it and thought that the laws were good. If they could really be implemented, they could benefit the people.
But the court was in chaos. The civil and military officials all said that Qiu Yushi's new laws were competing with the people.
The people in Dongdu were also indignant when they talked about this, saying that there were traitors in the palace and that the emperor was competing with the people.
"The world belongs to the emperor, so why does he have to take money out of the people's pockets! This Qiu Shuijing is really not a good person!" n0velUsB.c0m
"This reform is just taking the last bit of money from our pockets and sending it to the palace!"
"There are traitors around the emperor!"
Su Yun was amused and helpless when he heard these discussions. Most of Dongdu were ancient families and landlords, so it was natural for them to say these things. However, some poor families also followed suit, which was a bit ridiculous.
"Mr. Shuijing's actions are intended to make the ancient families hand over their treasures in the name of the country and redistribute them; to take back the coinage rights of various states and return them to the court; and to unify the tax system of the court, so that states and counties have no right to tax and collect money. This is a good thing, so why is there so much opposition when it comes to the lower levels?"
Su Yun was also a bit puzzled and asked Hua Hu. Hua Hu said: "It's probably because this world belongs to the emperor. The people think that if there are benefits, they belong to the emperor and not to themselves, so they are easily incited."
Finally, it was June, and Su Yun was ready. The twenty Tian Dao Academy scholars were also ready, but Wu Tong had not yet returned.On the second day of June, Wu Tong arrived late and asked Su Yun if they could delay their departure for two days. She wanted to absorb some demonic energy in Dongdu and witness the birth of the Demon King.
Su Yun asked her who the Demon King of Dongdu was, but Wu Tong remained silent.
Su Yun also asked her about Xue Qingfu's whereabouts, but Wu Tong only said that he had escaped after being tortured for more than ten days.
On the same day, Hua Hu told Su Yun that he was going with Master Lingyue to treat his injuries, but he didn't say who had injured him.
Su Yun went to see Qiu Shuijing, who had become thinner but still had a good complexion. Qiu Shuijing said that he was going to promote some new officials to replace the old stubborn ones. Su Yun told him about the people who had been monitoring him and warned him to be careful.
The next day, Su Yun and a group of officials from the Inspectorate, including Ye Luo, boarded the Chulong carriage to the East Sea. Li Zhuxian bought a carriage to accommodate the large bird Tianfeng.
Wu Tong was reluctant to leave and kept looking back at Yuhuang Mountain, saying that the demonic energy in Dongdu would erupt in a few days and it was a pity they couldn't wait.
On June 4th, they arrived at Donghai County, where there was a port called Haiyi that had many ships to and from Western countries. But they were told that they couldn't sail due to a demon god causing trouble at sea.
Su Yun told the officials to stay in Donghai County and wait for calm seas before setting sail. Wu Tong again mentioned the Demon King of Dongdu and said it was a pity they couldn't meet him.
Su Yun asked Li Zhuxian if he could borrow Tianfeng, and Li reluctantly agreed, saying that every time he lent it to Su Yun, Tianfeng became closer to him.
Su Yun rode Tianfeng and asked if it could run faster than the Chulong on land. Tianfeng replied with a cry and flew away.
Wu Tong asked Jiao Shu'Ao to go with them, and he transformed into a black dragon and followed them. They all headed back to Dongdu.
Qiu Shuijing was busy with official business when suddenly the sky cracked and the ground shook. A voice shouted "Kill Qiu Shuijing, serve the emperor!" and a cloud that had been motionless in the sky suddenly moved towards Dongdu. Qiu Shuijing realized that the cloud had been there since Su Yun arrived in Dongdu.That was the dusty sky, the treasure Su Yun used to guard himself.

Did Danqing do this just to take control of the power and satisfy his ambition? Or did he want to become emperor himself and establish a new school by abolishing the old one? "Perhaps only Han Jun knows his thoughts." Su Yun suddenly said, "Ying Ying, although you were a witness to the Zonglong Tomb case, you don't really understand Qin Wuling. It's Han Jun who knows him best." Ying Ying felt lost and said, "So where are these two now?" Su Yun looked into the distance and said, "They are now at their weakest moment. Han Jun's two saint masks were broken by Shuijing, leaving only Xue Qingfu's mask, and Xue Qingfu is also seriously injured. Wu Tong and Jiao Shu'Ao are chasing after them. As for Danqing, no one knows where he is." Hua Hu walked towards them, and Su Yun's heart suddenly moved. He quickly said, "Second Brother, where is your teacher Master Lingyue?" Hua Hu said, "He hasn't been seen these days." Su Yun's heart trembled, "Master Lingyue went to hunt down Danqing!" His mind suddenly cleared, and he looked towards the misty Dongdu City. 35 years ago, after Yuanshuo's defeat, the elite of an era made different choices, and their impact has continued to this day and has become more and more intense! The different choices made by the elites of that era have led to the outbreak of conflicts between them, resulting in the current situation of Yuanshuo!Ying Ying listened to his thoughts in his spiritual realm and silently thought to herself: "Su Scholar's assumption is based on the premise that Qin Wuling has already died. If Brother Qin did not die in the Zanglong Tomb case, then this decision would have come earlier..." In the Zanglong Tomb case, the choices made by Han Jun and Qin Wuling, two top geniuses, led to their different paths in the future and affected the current situation. If they both didn't die, the impact of the Zanglong Tomb case would continue. "So, all these cases in Dongdu may actually be the same case." Ying Ying blinked and thought to herself: "They may all have originated from the Zanglong Tomb case, starting from the fall of the dragon at the Tian Shi Yuan." Su Yun began to prepare for his upcoming overseas trip. Most of the scholars dispatched overseas by the court this time were selected from the Tian Dao Academy. In this Tian Dao Academy examination, there were many talented scholars selected by Su Yun using the "Sixteen Chapters of the True Dragon" as the assessment topic. However, many of the ancient families had already received the news that this group of Tian Dao Academy scholars would be sent overseas, so they did not apply to the Tian Dao Academy. Instead, the Imperial Academy in Xidu benefited greatly from this Tian Dao Academy examination, and these ancient family children ultimately chose the Imperial Academy. Li Muge and Li Zhuxian were originally unable to pass the Tian Dao Academy examination. They only had a good foundation, but their comprehension was a bit lacking. Unexpectedly, they were accepted by the Tian Dao Academy! "If our ancestral tomb was still there, it would definitely be shining brightly with golden light!" Li Muge clenched his fists and looked up at the sky. Among the people hired by the Tian Dao Academy this time was Wu Tong, which surprised Su Yun: "The brothers and sisters of the Wen Chang Academy's Ge Wu Yuan have all been admitted to the Tian Dao Academy. As the eldest brother, I am very proud and honored!" The twenty scholars of the Tian Dao Academy will all go overseas, and the date has been set for next month, which is June 3rd. As the date approaches, news about the reforms gradually spreads. Qiu Shuijing has overall power and has issued new laws to reform land, mines, and reshape agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fisheries. He has also reformed the tax system, causing a lot of discussion among the people in Dongdu. Su Yun took a look at it and thought that the laws were good. If they could really be implemented, they could benefit the people. But the court was in chaos. The civil and military officials all said that Qiu Yushi's new laws were competing with the people. The people in Dongdu were also indignant when they talked about this, saying that there were traitors in the palace and that the emperor was competing with the people. "The world belongs to the emperor, so why does he have to take money out of the people's pockets! This Qiu Shuijing is really not a good person!" n0velUsB.c0m"This reform is just taking the last bit of money from our pockets and sending it to the palace!" "There are traitors around the emperor!" Su Yun was amused and helpless when he heard these discussions. Most of Dongdu were ancient families and landlords, so it was natural for them to say these things. However, some poor families also followed suit, which was a bit ridiculous. "Mr. Shuijing's actions are intended to make the ancient families hand over their treasures in the name of the country and redistribute them; to take back the coinage rights of various states and return them to the court; and to unify the tax system of the court, so that states and counties have no right to tax and collect money. This is a good thing, so why is there so much opposition when it comes to the lower levels?" Su Yun was also a bit puzzled and asked Hua Hu. Hua Hu said: "It's probably because this world belongs to the emperor. The people think that if there are benefits, they belong to the emperor and not to themselves, so they are easily incited." Finally, it was June, and Su Yun was ready. The twenty Tian Dao Academy scholars were also ready, but Wu Tong had not yet returned.On the second day of June, Wu Tong arrived late and asked Su Yun if they could delay their departure for two days. She wanted to absorb some demonic energy in Dongdu and witness the birth of the Demon King. Su Yun asked her who the Demon King of Dongdu was, but Wu Tong remained silent. Su Yun also asked her about Xue Qingfu's whereabouts, but Wu Tong only said that he had escaped after being tortured for more than ten days. On the same day, Hua Hu told Su Yun that he was going with Master Lingyue to treat his injuries, but he didn't say who had injured him. Su Yun went to see Qiu Shuijing, who had become thinner but still had a good complexion. Qiu Shuijing said that he was going to promote some new officials to replace the old stubborn ones. Su Yun told him about the people who had been monitoring him and warned him to be careful. The next day, Su Yun and a group of officials from the Inspectorate, including Ye Luo, boarded the Chulong carriage to the East Sea. Li Zhuxian bought a carriage to accommodate the large bird Tianfeng. Wu Tong was reluctant to leave and kept looking back at Yuhuang Mountain, saying that the demonic energy in Dongdu would erupt in a few days and it was a pity they couldn't wait. On June 4th, they arrived at Donghai County, where there was a port called Haiyi that had many ships to and from Western countries. But they were told that they couldn't sail due to a demon god causing trouble at sea. Su Yun told the officials to stay in Donghai County and wait for calm seas before setting sail. Wu Tong again mentioned the Demon King of Dongdu and said it was a pity they couldn't meet him. Su Yun asked Li Zhuxian if he could borrow Tianfeng, and Li reluctantly agreed, saying that every time he lent it to Su Yun, Tianfeng became closer to him. Su Yun rode Tianfeng and asked if it could run faster than the Chulong on land. Tianfeng replied with a cry and flew away. Wu Tong asked Jiao Shu'Ao to go with them, and he transformed into a black dragon and followed them. They all headed back to Dongdu. Qiu Shuijing was busy with official business when suddenly the sky cracked and the ground shook. A voice shouted "Kill Qiu Shuijing, serve the emperor!" and a cloud that had been motionless in the sky suddenly moved towards Dongdu. Qiu Shuijing realized that the cloud had been there since Su Yun arrived in Dongdu.That was the dusty sky, the treasure Su Yun used to guard himself.
