Chapter 15 In the Beginning of Ancient Times, Who Preached the Truth?
Chenxi, Dashishan.
There are many stones on the mountain, so it is named Dashishan.
At this time, the laborers at the foot of the mountain were busy carrying construction materials. It was said that they were going to build a Taoist temple.
As for what Taoist temple it was, no one knew. They were responsible for collecting money and doing things.
At the foot of the mountain, a mansion somewhere in Chenxi City.
A young man sat cross-legged in the room, his eyes seemed to be slightly closed, holding a crystal stone.
With one breath and one breath, the crystal stone flickered slightly.
The internal organs in the body seemed to work with the breathing, until a wisp of true qi was generated in the body.
After a long time, Xu Xuan opened his eyes and sensed the mirror in his arms.
Name: Xu Xuan
Lifespan: 23/85
Realm: Initial stage of nourishing qi.
Gongfa: Jinguanyusuoqingjingjue (entry 2%), Chenzhou talisman (minor success 3%)
Spells: Huoyu talisman (minor success 15%), hemostasis talisman (minor success 8%), detoxification talisman (entry 89%), hunting talisman (entry 13%), mountain-splitting knife method (perfect), standing practice (perfect), eagle claw practice (perfect), Li's magic arrow method (perfect).
The peak of martial arts is gone, replaced by the initial stage of nourishing qi.
Jinguanyusuoqingjingjue successfully entered.
As soon as he entered, he had five strands of true qi in his body, two more than the previous Chenzhou talisman, worthy of being a pre-Qin method.
"By the way, I seem to only have the lethal spell of Huoyu talisman?" Xu Xuan estimated it, and it was indeed the case.
Most of the spells he knew were auxiliary, even the newly acquired evasion talisman, armor horse and levitation were auxiliary.
Xu Xuan stood up and picked up the brush, copying the strokes of the talisman for avoiding soldiers on the bamboo slips over and over again, and memorized it deeply in his mind.
The lines are messy, but there are special memory techniques.
After cultivating the true qi, not only did his physical strength increase, but his memory also became much stronger.
Half an hour later, Xu Xuan, who had failed several times, was not discouraged. He put down the brush, took out the bronze corpse-driving bell, and used the true qi to cleanse it.
Now there are many spells, and you can't practice them all without any arrangement.
Xu Xuan's first goal must be the basic skills, and then the arrangement is the fire-calling talisman, the sword-avoiding talisman, and the corpse-driving talisman, which guarantees combat power.
As for the other few doors, practice occasionally within a month, as long as the talismans are enough, you are not afraid.
"Next, study the corpse-driving method carefully. The cultivation of Taoism cannot do without guardians. It will be much safer with zombies."
Xu Xuan thought.
At this time, Xu Yong's men came to report.
"Sir, there is something going on in Chenzhou..."
Knowing that the lord of Chenzhou had been replaced by Xu Guangting, Li Ming had died suddenly, and the remaining troops had been recruited by Xu Guangting, Xu Xuan could not help but sigh and said, "This old man is quite scheming."
After years of being a subordinate, it was not easy to turn the tables in one day. He even deceived his family.
Chenzhou.
After a few days of bloody purges, Xu Guangting had purged the forces that did not belong to him.
Three thousand elite soldiers firmly controlled Chenzhou Prefecture. The next step was to distribute benefits and re-employ some of the original Chenzhou bureaucrats.
"Xu Chong, you go to Huguang Provincial Administration and express our intentions to the Provincial Administration. We are loyal to the court. Li Ming voluntarily gave up his position to us..."
Xu Guangting took out a letter.
The current situation is tense, and the Provincial Administration dare not force a force to rebel.
"Yes!" Xu Chong left.
Xu Guangting was thinking about how to strengthen his own strength in troubled times.
The only specialty of Chenzhou is salt. Twenty-two salt wells produce 440,000 kilograms of crude salt annually.
These salts can be traded with the outside world for ironware, but as for firearms... that stuff is not practical.
Just then, his subordinates came to report again.
"The eldest son is here! The second son is here! The third son is here!"
The three brothers were called by him.
On the way, Xu Feng was both panicked and nervous.
His mother, Li, had said to him before: "My son, now that your grandfather has been killed, you should not get involved in the grievances of the previous generation. Although you are qualified to inherit the position of the pacification envoy of Chenzhou, you should not take it lightly."
"Why?"
"Before, you had a powerful maternal family, but now your maternal family is controlled by the Xu family. You have the blood of two clans, so maybe you are more valued, but in the final analysis, it still depends on your father's opinion."
Li has now become an existence dependent on the Xu family, no longer as arrogant as before.
Xu Feng thought of what Xu Xuan had done recently, and his heart was incomprehensible.
This man is highly skilled in martial arts, and has a group of bandits loyal to him, and even took over Chenxi County by himself.
His military exploits were much higher than his own, and Xu Feng felt the threat for the first time.
"No! I am the prince!"
Xu Feng thought.
His mother also had a backup plan. She told his father that if he wanted to stabilize the hearts of the mountain barbarians, he could only arrange for him to be the prince.
He met Xu Xuan and Xu Yong who also came to report on their work.
The two sides did not say hello, but their eyes crossed.
"Father!"
The three of them saluted.
Xu Guangting looked at Xu Xuan and said, "You did a good job."
Xu Xuan said modestly, "I was just lucky."
"Feng'er is also okay, keep working hard."
"Yes!"
After the father and son exchanged pleasantries, Xu Guangting suddenly spoke up and said, "I plan to integrate all the salt wells and sell salt in the name of the government. This is a valuable trade route. I don't trust outsiders. Who of you is willing to help?"
Xu Guangting looked at everyone.
Xu Xuan certainly didn't want to, because he still had to study the corpses, and doing business was a waste of time.
His younger brother Xu Yong was even more unwilling, because he had more things to do, including forging iron, storing grain, and recruiting refugees.
The two did not speak.
"Father, let me do it."
Xu Feng took the initiative to step forward.
Xu Guangting had a flash of disappointment in his heart towards Xu Xuan.
Small-minded, not great.
"Okay. Xu Feng stays, and the others go out, and will deal with Chenxi's affairs in the future."
Xu Guangting drove the two away without hesitation. Since they were willing to stay in the county, they would stay there.
Xu Feng felt happy.
The two brothers rushed back to Chenxi, and neither of them took the matter to heart.
"Brother, the Taoist temple is almost finished, but we still need a plaque. What's the name? I'll ask someone to make a plaque."
"Call it Tianwen Palace."
In the beginning of ancient times, who preached the Tao?
How can we know when there is no shape?
"What a good name!"
...
The mirror world.
"Kill!"
The white-haired monk flew with his sword, but the next moment, countless fireballs shot him down, and more than a dozen zombies attacked him.
The zombies were not afraid of death, and it was difficult for swords and guns to penetrate them, leaving wounds on the white-haired monk.
The robes on the white-haired monk were torn, and blood was pouring down.
"Die!"
There was a roar from afar, and three zombies suddenly exploded, and flames engulfed the white-haired monk.
The brothers Li Qingshi and Li Qingquan leaped over in a few steps, and with the cover of the fire-calling talisman, they pierced the white-haired monk with two swords at the same time.
The white-haired monk in the flames smiled maliciously and said, "My fate today will be your fate tomorrow, haha."
The body fell to the ground and the flames burned it to ashes.
A cultivator of the first level of Qi training, dead!
"It will never be possible. As long as the family is united, no one can break through." Li Qingshi, who was over fifty years old, looked determined.
The leader was dead, and the rest surrendered or were killed.
After thirty years, the family took over Heihe County, controlled a population of 200,000, and became the head of a cultivator.
The eldest son Li Rufeng came to report.
"Zhang Xian's Qi training family was all killed, the Heihefang gang surrendered, and 60 low-grade spirit stones, 300 spirit crystals, a low-grade magic weapon, and some materials were seized..."
War is indeed a shortcut to wealth.
That night, Zhang Mansion was renamed Li Mansion, and the county magistrate and others did not hesitate to change their ways.
In the back house of Li Mansion, the core children of the Li family held incense to worship the Immortal in the Mirror.
"Congratulations to the Immortal in the Mirror! The Dharma shines in all directions, and the will of the ancestors is passed on... I beg you to give me a gift!"
Five spirit stones and some medicinal materials were offered as offerings.
The mirror flashed, the tribute disappeared, and several lines of text appeared on the mirror.
"Golden Sand Peiyuan Pill, Qi-training Pill!" Everyone said happily, and they were more convinced of the Immortal in the Mirror.
This was the prescription together with the Daqinglong Powder.
In front of the mirror, Xu Xuan deposited another five spirit stones.
Regardless of the people in front of the mirror bowing.
As long as the materials were exchanged, who cares whether he believed it or not? Could he come through the mirror to hit him?
"A total of seven spirit stones, I can raise the corpse."
Xu Xuan thought of a compromise. Since there was no spiritual energy in this world, he would embed the spirit stones into the corpse.
The combat power of the zombies was also seen through the mirror. It was a simple killing when dealing with mortal cold weapon troops.
