In the tenth year of the First Emperor, a new city was built in Jizhou, the capital of the Nine Prefectures. It was called Jizhou City. It was located at the junction of Yongzhou, Liangzhou, and Yuzhou. It had the Yellow River irrigation system and was accessible to the world. It rose rapidly.
On this day, the grass was long and the orioles were flying. Many merchants came to Jizhou City. They drove ox carts and pulled a cart full of goods.
"The official notice states that the items used by the academy, such as brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, can be directly brought into the city.”The merchant who drove the carriage was actually wearing a scholar's robe. He had delicate features, but he was a little travel-worn. He showed a customs clearance certificate, and the guard at the gate bowed and invited him into the city.
"They must be merchants from the academy. After graduating from the academy, they enjoyed free lessons from many knowledgeable people. In order to thank the emperor, they eventually became merchants. They worked tirelessly for the public academy, but they didn't take a single cent.”
A passerby asked the guard. The guard's eyes were bright and piercing. He was wearing armor that weighed dozens of pounds and holding a long spear. He walked freely and was very powerful.
"That's right, he's Mu Zha from the academy, son of Li Jing from Chentang Pass. Back then, he was a student that His Majesty personally took in at Chentang Pass.”
"He's actually the Son of Heaven's disciple!" The passerby sighed.
"Silence! His Majesty has already decreed that the title of Son of Heaven be abolished. Old uncle, you must remember that the Emperor is the son of the people, not the son of heaven! In the future, you must address me as the Sage Emperor's disciple!"
"I misspoke." The old man was holding a cane and wearing deerskin. His hair was disheveled, and his clothes were very different from ordinary people's. He had an ancient style. When he heard this, his expression was strange.
The guard looked at the old man and smiled." I say, old man, His Majesty has invented the method of silk reeling and promoted it throughout the world. He has vigorously developed agriculture and mulberry. Everyone lives in luxury and silk is worthless. Why are you still wearing this beast robe?”
"Cough cough, this old man has lived far away in the mountains for a long time. I didn't know that the world had changed so much.”The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at the endless stream of people entering the city.
They were dressed in bright clothes and spoke with the same accent. The documents in their hands were as thin as silk, but they were completely different. Each of them was full of vitality and had a wonderful aura that soared into the clouds like a dragon.
"Yes, I am." The guard saw that his companion was able to handle it. In addition, the world was peaceful and everyone had noble morals. There was almost nothing to do, so he simply chatted with the old man.
"Since ten years ago, His Majesty has issued twelve edicts to the world. The land of Huaxia was changing almost every day. Who would have thought that such a huge city like Jizhou City could be built just like that?”
"Twelve edicts?" The old man's bamboo hat covered his eyes, so no one could see his expression.
At this moment, a horn suddenly sounded from above the city wall. Finally, a person holding a trumpet-shaped object shouted.
"Ji Province Imperial Academy, the autumn freshmen enrollment ceremony has begun. Those residents who want to watch, gather at the Emperor Square in Jizhou City!”
"It's the start of school again. Time flies. It's been three years since I graduated." The guard sighed." Old man, this is your first time in Jizhou City, right? This opening ceremony was a lively event. His Majesty would personally come to the academy to present the academy robes and freshman books to the newly enrolled students. You can go and take a look."
Before the guard could finish his sentence, he was stunned. He was so shocked that he could not speak.
The old man who was beside him just now disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Could this be a god? My Great Ji Province has even attracted immortals. Your Majesty is indeed wise."
This old man was the leader of the Fire Cloud Cave's Three Sovereigns, the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi.
His vision pierced through the city wall and the crowd, and he saw a huge empty space in the center of Jizhou City.
A stone statue stood in the open space. It held a book in its left hand and a brush in its right. It was wearing an emperor's robe and looked down at the sun and moon. It had an extraordinary aura.
Below the stone statue was a square bronze mirror that was several feet tall. The bronze mirror had a thin copper pillar that extended hundreds of meters into the air.
The bronze mirror seemed to have been modified. It was transparent, like a real illusion!
However, what was shown was not the current situation. Instead, it was a group of students holding books and wearing white and green clothes. They were swearing in unison to a man in front of them.
"As a human, I should not fear heaven and earth. I only respect my parents. As a student, I should study hard and serve Heaven. I…I…"
The more the old man listened, the more frightened he became. A hint of fear flashed in his eyes. He held the walking stick in his hand and took a few steps before disappearing into the air.
The Fire Cloud Immortal Abode had endless mountain ranges that connected it to the Immortal World.
"What is this Yin Jiao trying to do?”Shennong was puzzled.
"I don't know. It's hard to guess. Each of his actions had the power to make the human race more prosperous. But thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem to be the case.”the Yellow Emperor said.
"That's right. This child is in great danger." Fuxi suddenly appeared in the cave abode. He took off his bamboo hat and his eyes were sharp.
"Why do you say that? What did the Emperor see when he went to Yinshang this time?”Shennong asked.
"This Yinjiao doesn't respect heaven and earth. He even used this to educate the people!" Hearing Fuxi's words, Shennong and Huangdi frowned.
"This-"
"He doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He doesn't know the might of a Saint. "The development of the human race now far surpasses that of the human race led by the three of us back then. I can't believe how fast the territory has expanded.
On the surface, it seemed that the Human Tribe had contributed to this matter, but in reality, it had brought about the wanton destruction and occupation of the mountains and rivers by the Human Tribe. In Jizhou City, it is the most terrifying!"
"How about Jizhou?" Shennong asked.
"Jizhou City is enormous, five times bigger than Zhaoge. It took a few years to build. The trees on the two surrounding mountains had been cut down. Not to mention ferocious beasts, even demons and ghosts had been driven away and killed. There was no place for them to live.”Fuxi sighed.
"Kill demons? The Human Tribe actually had such strength. Could it be because of the so-called national Daoist Palace that Yin Jiao had established back then?”the Yellow Emperor said.
Fuxi nodded." That's right."
The Three Sovereigns fell into deep thought. After a long while, Fuxi said,""This child will bring disaster to the human race.”
The Yellow Emperor sighed." This child is a sage that only appears once every ten thousand years. He's stronger than us.”
"Xuanyuan, have you forgotten why the three of us are hiding in this Fire Cloud Cave?" Although this luck belonged to the human race, the heavens ultimately belonged to the saints.”
The Yellow Emperor said," That being said, have you all forgotten our ambitions back then?”
Fuxi replied," Although I am the reincarnation of the demon race, I have no connection with my previous life. In this life, I will only serve the prosperity of the human race."
Shen Nong replied,"Of course I wouldn't dare to forget. Are you just a saint?"”
The Yellow Emperor said," The reform of Yinjiao has brought prosperity to the Human Tribe. It's not just a day or two. If the Sages had discovered it, they would have discovered it long ago. Don't you think it's strange that he hasn't made a move yet?”
In the Fire Cloud Cave, the three Saints looked at each other without saying a word." Let's wait for him."”
