Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 835 Fahai is a hit
Creak~~~ The windowsill closed.

The golden light on Leifeng Pagoda went out, and a regular clap of thunder sounded in the sky.

Bai Suzhen glanced at it and then looked away. Yu Gong continued writing his letter in his study without even looking at it, while the people of Qiantang continued to sleep soundly.

The Demon King's emergence from seclusion was far too frequent for this place; it was nothing out of the ordinary.

Xu Xuan stood at the entrance of Baoan Hall and almost thought he had gone to the wrong place.

This is no longer the secret organization that once struck fear into the hearts of demons; it's clearly a bustling marketplace.

Although we've moved from underground to above ground, this is still far too grand.

The hall was brightly lit, like daytime, with dozens of people bustling about. A young apprentice was carrying a ledger half his height as he ran, while cultivators used flying talismans to send messages.

"The Pingyuan at the dock has one cargo space left. Go and replenish the Atractylodes!"

"There are signs of an epidemic in Xiajun County. Send another team there!"

At this moment, sitting there issuing orders, was none other than Zhuge Yu, who had rushed back from Wuchang County under the stars and moon.

With the two hall masters, Xu Qing and others, seriously injured and absent, only this ordinary old man, who had long remained invisible, was left to shoulder the burden of this chaotic situation.

Even though he had stayed up for three days and three nights without closing his eyes, he was only able to hold on by relying on the pills.

Only those who have witnessed the devastation firsthand can understand just how terrible the area around Dongting Lake is.

The entire Bao'an Hall is now operating beyond capacity, and even the second-best swordsman in the world from Dugu Garden has become a bodyguard on the ship.

The problem that followed was so thorny that it was difficult to handle.

"The prefect of Baling County hopes that Baoan Hall can enter the city to distribute medicine, so as not to affect the imperial court's disaster relief efforts."

"Demons are causing trouble in Nanyiyang County and we need their support."

Zhuge Yu was somewhat at a loss; he couldn't handle this kind of problem.

Fortunately, "Leave this to me."

"Hall Master!"

Suddenly, a gasp rang out, and the entire hall fell silent instantly.

Zhuge Yu raised his head shakily, his cloudy old eyes meeting the newcomer's gaze, and the talisman pen in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

"The prefect of Baling County won't let me into the city. There are demons in Nanyiyang," the old man muttered mechanically, then suddenly his eyes rolled back and he fell straight backward.

This is a self-protective mechanism triggered when the mind is relaxed.

After taking the half-dead old man back to the back room to rest, Xu Xuan, the Great Demon King, took office.

He turned and sat in the main seat, flicking his sleeves.

The once noisy lobby fell silent instantly, and everyone held their breath as they stared at that familiar figure.

When he raised his eyes and swept across the entire room, the long-lost sense of oppression made everyone unconsciously straighten their backs.

If the previous An'an Hall only demonstrated 70% of its capabilities, now it's approaching 120%.

First of all, the matter of the governor of Baling County is easy to resolve; it's nothing more than some underhanded scheming.

He would ask the abbots of Bailu Mountain, Jintian Mountain, and Chongqi Mountain to write a letter together.

Try to gently rebuke the other party's petty intentions, and then try to secure more authority for Baoan Hall.

It's not a rebellion, it's just providing free medical care and medicine, don't be alarmed.

The demons in Nanyiyang County can also be dealt with by sending a message in the name of the Pure Land School to nearby Buddhist temples to suppress them.

It seems they still have some face to save, especially after all the monks in the sect were mobilized a few days ago to suppress the earth veins.

This muscle display was just right.

Countless butterflies flew out of Baoan Hall and headed to various parts of Jiangnan.

Xu Xuan solved all other similar problems one by one, very quickly and decisively.

Outside the window, the first rays of dawn illuminated the Qiantang River. Early-rising vendors on the streets had already begun hawking their wares, completely unaware that the butterflies flitting overhead were weaving a vast net that would envelop the entire Jiangnan region.

In the center of the net, a white lotus blooms.

At the same time, this network is also sensing the storms in Kyushu.

As always, the imperial court's response to the Dongting Lake flood was to conceal part of the disaster's extent.

Originally, they wanted to keep it a secret from most people, but due to the influence of Headmaster Shen and various factions in Jiangnan, they couldn't suppress it.

After intense discussions, a symbolic allocation of 300,000 taels of silver was made for disaster relief, with the main aim being to mobilize local governments to help themselves.

The focus of the work is to select exemplary individuals for commendation as quickly as possible, prioritizing those who exemplify filial piety. Acts of profound compassion, heart-wrenching grief, or self-sacrifice should be reported immediately.

Meanwhile, the Censorate wrote "Ode to the Holy Emperor's Blessings on Dongting Lake" overnight, attributing the mild disaster to "the emperor's virtue that extends to all corners of the world".

Over the course of half a month, various power struggles, mudslinging, flattery, and exclusion took place one after another, making it quite a spectacle.

In addition, someone inexplicably brought up the Luoshui incident from last year, instantly igniting an uproar in Luoyang.

The Emperor of Jin is furious! What exactly are you trying to do?!

Revolt!
What's there to mention about such a thing? Could it be that the Luo River also sensed the Emperor's virtue extending to all corners of the world, and that's why it gently touched my face?!
The entire court is in chaos, with various factions attacking each other, and no one cares about the real disaster area anymore.

As a result, Dongting Lake was deserted, and many of the things that Xu had arranged beforehand were not used.

It seems that those above really don't care about this kind of thing.

It's both a pity and a relief. Oh well, it's not the right time yet.

The reaction from the cultivation world at this moment was quite normal, immediately causing a huge uproar.

The cataclysmic changes that occurred on the shores of Dongting Lake may have seemed like nothing more than an unusual downpour to mortals, but to the old monsters of various sects, it was nothing less than a tribulation of the Dao.

The collapse of Yunmengze caused a brief reversal in the flow of water vapor in the Nine Provinces, a sign that only appeared during ancient calamities!

Is this something a human could do?

The moisture in the entire Kyushu region was running rampant for those few days, and all cultivators practicing the Great Dao of Water felt a power that could affect their souls.

Some attempted to use the rising tide to leap forward, only to be smothered by the abruptly stopped water elemental force, resulting in serious injuries.

Of course, this is still fortunate; the unfortunate ones are the cultivators who glimpse the secrets of heaven.

Anyone who goes down this path inevitably courts death, so this time they really died.

There will definitely be an explanation for this matter.

That's why Zen Master Fahai became famous.

As a sect that participated in this operation to suppress the earth veins, the Pure Land School naturally would not hide it.

That's right, he's a prodigy from our sect.

Ruoxu and Fahai are both the pride of the Pure Land School.

All the righteous factions are now collectively filled with self-doubt—this script is not right!
Isn't it true that the Tao is declining and the demons are rising? It's one thing for the number one Buddhist sect to be unaffected, but how come it's even rising against the trend?

Even if the Pure Land left behind by the Eastern Dharma Protector Bodhisattva is transcendent, our sect also has methods left by our ancestor. Why haven't we produced such talents?
No matter how bitter you feel inside, everyone should give a thumbs up to the Pure Land School.

Phrases like "leader of the righteous path," "light of the righteous path," and "pillar of the nation" are thrown at them for free.

This left the previously formed Righteous Alliance looking rather disheveled.

You bunch of people made a lot of noise but accomplished nothing and even suffered losses, while the isolated Pure Land School quietly accomplished something big.

It seems that the Pure Land school of Buddhism is the most reliable.

It is said that when the monk Daoyi of the Illusionary Transformation Sect heard this, he was furious and said something sarcastic like, "If the Pure Land Sect produces another White Lotus, I will do this or that."

Various posts were also sent to Zen Master Fahai, all expressing a desire for exchange.

All of them were suppressed by the Pure Land School entrusted by Xu Xuan, and the reason given was that they were still recovering from serious injuries.

What's the point of exchanging ideas now? Wouldn't it be better if I took the time to personally lead a team to each of your temples for individual discussions?

Huh?
It seems like the White Lotus Saint Mother did something like that.

Master Fahai's expression was somewhat subtle, different from usual; perhaps his communication would be more civilized.

Meanwhile, some inside information about this major event also leaked out, and the news that Yun Zhongjun was going to recreate Yunmeng ignited the cultivation world.

Tens of millions of ordinary people narrowly escaped death, and the Hanjiang Plain almost became an inland lake again. This reversal of the natural order can only mean that today's conspirators are playing increasingly outrageous games.

Some people lamented that the world seems to have gone awry ever since Guo Bei was purged.

The place was so unfamiliar that it chilled even these flying masters to the bone, especially those whose mountain gates were located on the Han River Plain.

Several old monsters, disturbed by the disturbance, could no longer tolerate the various shocks of the past three years and simply left Kyushu for the outer regions or the outer seas.

Xu Xuan was somewhat moved after seeing this intelligence, thinking, "You guys are lucky."

Then they prepared to head to Shouchun.

The results are about to be released.
