One day later, Chu Xisheng had people clean up the ruins of the Chu family's mansion, and built a temporary incense hall at the original school grounds.
Then he led hundreds of new and old members to stand in front of the throne of the Loyalty and Immortality Emperor, burning incense and praying, and chanted words.
"When you enter the iron flag gate, you must abide by thirty-six oaths. The first oath is that your parents are my parents, your brothers and sisters are my brothers and sisters, your wife is my sister-in-law, and your son is my nephew. If there is any violation, five
Killed by thunder.
The second oath is that if there are parents or brothers who have lived for a hundred years and have no money to bury them, and Bai Ling flies there to ask for help, they will immediately tell you that if you have money, you will give money, but if you don’t have money, you will help.
——The Ninth Oath: Brothers who cheat on each other, plot to kill the banner leader, and assassinate others will die under ten thousand knives.
——The Eighteenth Oath: If I am caught by an official, I will take responsibility and not harm my brothers with personal enmity. If I violate it, I will be punished by five thunders.
——The Thirty-sixth Oath: Scholars, peasants, industrialists, and merchants each have their own skills. Once they enter the Iron Banner, they must put loyalty and loyalty first and make friends with brothers from all over the world. If they are half-hearted and unable to avoid using their strength, they will die with thousands of swords.
Down."
He urged the people behind him to memorize the Iron Flag Gang's rules and thirty-six oaths eloquently, and then he was satisfied and asked people to kill the phoenix and burn the yellow paper.
Once these rules are followed and the oath is made, we all become brothers.
Of course, Chu Xisheng did not expect the Loyalty Immortal Emperor to appear and punish those who broke the oath.
The Yunhai Immortal Palace guardian tablet placed in front of the throne of the Zhongyi Changsheng Emperor is the source of Chu Xisheng's confidence.
This token echoes the Second Book of Commandments.
As long as everyone swears an oath in front of the token and recognizes the rules, Chu Xisheng can activate the power of the "Two Books of Commandments" to restrain his subordinates.
Chu Xisheng has already given them a chance.
When everyone was gathering for discussion yesterday, Chu Xisheng repeatedly asked them whether they wanted to join the Iron Banner Gang and whether they were willing to abide by the Iron Banner Gang's rules.
In the end, none of these people quit, so no wonder Chu Xisheng.
At this time, Chu Xisheng had his back to these people.
However, he could feel that when many third- and fourth-grade masters behind him took the oath, they all frowned and showed more or less resistance.
They have obviously realized the power of the two books "Divine Rings" and "Divine Laws".
However, these people still endured it and did not make any move of resistance until they finished reciting the oath.
Maybe they didn't pay attention to the Second Book of Commandments, or they thought they had a way to circumvent the blood oath, or maybe they were worried that Chu Xisheng would call on everyone to surround and beat them to death if they revealed their identity at this moment, so they all endured it.
.
Next comes the ordination.
Many of the newly promoted brothers had not made any achievements yet, but they had brought their family fortunes to join them. The Iron Banner Gang had to give them high positions, but the positions were all below the helmsman, and they were all temporary positions prefixed with the word "generation".
These people must abide by the Iron Banner Gang rules for a whole year without any problems, or make enough meritorious deeds before they can become regular members.
Then there are the six Dharma Protectors who still serve as Dharma Protectors.
There is a false position, there is worship, but there is no real power.
If they want to have real power and control a church, they have to help the Iron Banner Gang to gain new territory and open a new church, otherwise the Iron Banner Gang will have no place to arrange things.
All in all, this Xiangtang Conference was completed smoothly, and there were no glitches throughout the process.
At the moment the ceremony was completed, Chu Xisheng's heart moved slightly again.
His secret ritual of the heavens has actually advanced a lot.
Chu Xisheng had a clear understanding in his heart.
In fact, there is no fixed method for the secret rituals of martial arts promotion. The key is the process of experience and practice.
They also need to confirm and implement their own Taoist heart and will in this process.
In Chu Xisheng's opinion.
All the martial arts and techniques in this world are the ways of the mind. They are not fundamentally different from the Isolated Sword and the Divine Will Ruxin Sword. The difference is that they are more focused on one kind of path, extreme improvement.
Therefore, the essence of these heavenly secret rituals is to strengthen the Taoist mind so that they can be more consistent with the heavenly laws and laws they practice.
The secret ritual for disciples of the Wuxiang Shen Sect to advance to the fourth level is usually to find a place where the spiritual power is mixed and chaotic, blend it, organize it, and unify it into one.
On his side, it was a different situation. What needed to be reconciled was people and power, not spiritual power.
Just after this Xiangtang meeting, Chu Xisheng finally summoned his old cronies whom he could truly trust to discuss secretly in the Chu family mansion.
"I am under someone's control and there is nothing I can do about it."
Tie Xiaosheng looked ashamed and apologetic: "I don't care about my own life. What I'm afraid of is that these people will turn against each other and harm the lives of the brothers below. Forced by the situation, I have to agree to join the Iron Banner Gang."
The situation of the Iron Banner Gang was created by Tie Kuangren and Chu Xisheng who worked successively and single-handedly.
How strict are their gang rules?
Under normal circumstances, how could he accept so many people of unknown origin and identity into the gang?
However, he had been hiding out for the past few months, seemingly safe and sound, and had never been found by the enemy. In fact, he relied on the power of the new gang members and the 'protection' of the protectors.
However, in essence, they are still held hostage by these people, and they cannot have autonomy or freedom.
Lu Pingyuan, the head of the Internal Affairs Hall, also said with a helpless expression: "Laughing Kuanglong is a loose cultivator on the overseas Shenlong Island. I asked someone to check his identity, and nothing unusual was found. There is indeed someone on the overseas Shenlong Island.
This person appeared three months ago. He saved me from danger twice. He was also very helpful to our Iron Banner Gang. He helped our Internal Affairs Department defeat several powerful enemies and saved many brothers. But I have to say this person
I’m not sure whether he’s reliable or not, let alone his true identity.”
He was the guarantor of Laughing Kuanglong and introduced him to the Iron Banner Gang, but he was also helpless.
Lu Pingyuan gave another wry smile at this time: "Except for Dan Xuefei, whose identity is unknown, and Ba Tianlai has been famous for many years, the other four people, including Wan Fengqing, Gu Mingyue, Xiao Kuanglong, and Feng Liancheng, all have their own identities and their origins are also very clear.
, at least I couldn't find the problem.
Wan Fengqing and Gu Mingyue come from the Hidden World Sect, and Feng Liancheng comes from the Kuangsha Dead Zone in the Western Region. It is said that they are famous horse thieves there. The timing of their appearance also has their own merits. On the surface, there is nothing suspicious about it. It’s just—
—”
He paused and looked at everyone present.
It's just that there are too many people like this, and they all show up at the same time. Even fools know that there is a problem.
Li Shenshan, the master of the Xiushui Hall, and Wei Yang, the master of the Ancient Market Hall, heard him talk about Feng Liancheng, and they also held their hands in apology.
Li Shenshan's face was full of bitterness: "Feng Liancheng also showed up in Dongzhou four months ago. He likes drinking and gambling, so he got to know us.
More than two months ago, I was surrounded and killed in the southeast area of the ancient market. This person happened to meet me and saved my life. Later, it was all thanks to this person that our business in the ancient market and the east dock of the city was not affected.
"
"No problem!"
Chu Xisheng looked magnanimous and waved his hand with a half-smile.
If it hadn't been for what happened today, he would never have imagined that his secret ritual of being promoted to the fourth rank could be completed in this way.
Chu Xisheng predicted that as long as he could adjust and integrate the situation of the Iron Banner Gang into a rough outline, he could complete the promotion of "Shenyuan Wuxiang Gong".
It's just a promotion to the fourth rank, and it's not a breakthrough to the first rank. The secret ritual of the heavens is relatively simple.
Chu Xisheng now even has enough time to plot the secret rituals of the Heaven-Slaying Sword and the Yaizhen Sword.
The Zhutian Sword is the simplest. It only needs to lock on one person and thing and kill everything about them; the Yajuan Sword needs to complete the "Yaiju must retaliate" once.
These two mysteries can be performed together.
In addition, Chu Xisheng also wants to complete more secret rituals to lay the foundation for his own martial arts in the future.
Chu Xisheng interacted with Chu Yunyun and asked Zhuoyi on a daily basis, and when Lu Luanli was mixed with an unparalleled talent, he was a little bit ahead of himself.
He is definitely not satisfied with the Yiyi Dao and the Heaven-Destroying Dao, and he does not want to rely solely on the legacy left by people like the Bloody Dao Lord in the future.
However, his current cultivation level is limited, his understanding of martial arts is extremely shallow, and he does not yet have the ability to create his own martial arts.
However, the foundation for self-created martial arts can be laid in advance.
Just like Chu Yunyun, her 'Jue Tian' and 'Tong Tian' methods all have a foundation.
Up to now, no matter what Chu Yunyun wants to do, she can do most of it, so she is "extremely powerful"; she knows nearly 70% of the martial arts in the world, and is known as the "Arsenal", so she is "reaching the sky".
Chu Xisheng also had to anticipate what his fundamental skills would be in the future, and then make targeted arrangements.
‘Invincible’?
It can be considered that this requires him to be invincible and have no opponents in the past and future until he is promoted to the divine realm.
Chu Xisheng was not satisfied with this.
He still has time now, and it's not too late to plan slowly.
Thoughts were racing through Chu Xisheng's mind, but his expression was calm: "No matter where these people come from, since they have made a blood oath, they are our brothers. Just listen to their words and watch their actions, and use them first.
Feng San, you will temporarily take over the punishment hall tomorrow, and I will assign a few more good guys to you. As long as these people violate gang rules, they will be dealt with according to the rules."
This is not only aimed at the six protectors, but also at the wealthy families and underworld tycoons who have joined the Iron Banner Gang, as well as the many fourth- and fifth-level martial arts cultivators of unknown origins.
The Iron Flag Gang is a gang based on poor people and small merchant ship owners, and is not compatible with these people.
But it doesn't matter, the gang has its own rules and punishments.
As long as these people are still in the Iron Flag Gang, they must follow his rules.
Chu Xisheng then looked at the original torture hall leader with apologetic eyes: "Hall Master Li, it's not that I can't trust you, but the current situation is complicated. I must rely on the power of the torture hall, and the punishment must be severe!"
The leader of the Iron Banner Gang's execution hall is also an old man from the Iron Madman era.
But he readily cupped his hands and said with a wry smile: "Even if the flag master doesn't say anything, I still want to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of my honour."
With the current situation of the Iron Banner Gang, it is already beyond his ability.
He can neither restrain nor punish those new members of the gang.
Mad Sword Feng San also responded simply: "Feng San obeys your order!"
In his opinion, this is easy.
Feng San has an inexplicable self-confidence. The masters recruited by the Iron Flag Gang may seem to be highly skilled in cultivation and martial arts, but none of them are good enough for him to fight.
"I just can't figure it out, what are these people planning?"
Tie Xiaosheng looked extremely puzzled: "If they wanted to use the Iron Banner Gang to plot against Xi Sheng, or to ambush him, then they should have taken action yesterday. If these people wanted to take us as hostages, deal with it
Xi Sheng, there is no need to use such troublesome means. It really makes me confused."
"The obvious reason is that I admire the reputation of Lord Wuji Sword and want to enjoy the shade under a tree."
'Eight-Armed Diamond Sword' Bu Yancheng crossed his arms and sneered: "As for what they are thinking, who knows? In short, just take strict precautions."
Chu Xisheng put his hands behind his back and looked calm: "Yesterday, I encountered an ambush when I came from the Far East Ice City. In this battle, my uncle Li Changsheng and Yi Jian Qingcheng Wenzhuyi used secret methods to cross tens of thousands of miles of void.
Rush to the battlefield and join forces to kill three people from the first rank and thirteen from the Earth Ranking. Presumably, the news will spread throughout the world soon."
When everyone in the room heard this, they couldn't help but buzz.
Everyone was looking at each other, with shock and surprise in their eyes, excitement and joy, and a hint of relief.
Daqing: It’s not that these people don’t want to take action, it’s that they don’t dare!
"To say that they are all here for my life is not necessarily true. Some of them have other motives."
As Chu Xisheng spoke, he opened the martial arts treasure house and gave the many advanced talent cards he had saved to these close subordinates for use.
Although the cultivation of these people in front of them is a little lower, they are all old men who have followed him before he rose to power, so they can be used with peace of mind.
The 20% discount talent card of the Bloody Sword Lord has been used by him on Zhou Liangchen.
But for the other Qin Muge's 40% off talent cards, Lu Luanli's 30% off talent cards, Calculating Money's 30% off talent cards, Su Fengdao's 20% off talent cards, Li Changsheng's 30% off talent cards, etc., Chu Xisheng saved a dozen of them. At this time
They are all used by these close subordinates.
These talents are his basic base. The higher their skills and stronger their combat power, the more stable the foundation of the Iron Flag Gang will be.
Only one Shen'ao Sanren 20% off talent card is useless.
Chu Xisheng did not want to use this card with a powerful magician talent on this group of martial arts cultivators. However, he has not found a suitable partner yet.
"Actually, it doesn't matter what their purpose is. Our own strength is fundamental. As long as we have enough strength, we can suppress all ghosts and monsters."
Chu Xisheng then looked at Tie Xiaosheng: "How are the conditions of the gang below?"
Tie Xiaosheng immediately looked stern: "In the past year, the Tieqi Gang has expanded greatly. Now the official gang has 40,000 members, and the number of peripheral gangs is as high as 1.37 million. Dongzhou along the Shenxiu River
The coolies, boatmen, hunters, miners, and fishermen in this area have all basically become members of my Iron Flag Gang."
He said, "As long as the flag owner gives an order, we can immediately mobilize 27,000 hunters with superb archery skills, 1,700 warships, 120,000 naval troops, and 90,000 landmen."
division."
This military strength does not seem to have increased much compared to the time when the Iron Banner Gang raised troops to sweep across Xiushui and Xunyang counties.
In fact, it has been greatly improved.
At this time, no matter the quality of the battleships, the quality of the soldiers, or the popularity of armor weapons, they are not comparable to those a year and a half ago.
Nowadays, the Iron Banner Gang can already provide all the soldiers and horses who have reached the ninth level, instead of having to use those young men who have not reached the first level like more than a year ago.
Chu Xi nodded slightly: "How is the military morale?"
"It can be regarded as a popular support!"
The person who answered was Lu Pingyuan, the leader of the House of Internal Affairs. He raised his hand and said with a smile: "Whether it's a hard worker or a boatman, as long as they have my Iron Banner Gang to make decisions for them, their income will increase greatly and they can take a break every month. There's nothing wrong with it."
Unsatisfactory.
But the ones who can really handle things are the old brothers from the past, and so on. In the past year and a half, we have also focused on working on them, and they have basically reached the ninth level of cultivation. It’s just—”
Lu Pingyuan paused: "We really don't have enough land to support so many people."
Those brothers at the bottom don't actually spend much money.
The key is their high-level martial arts.
Their Iron Banner Gang currently has eight people in the third grade, seventeen people in the fourth grade, and even more in the fifth grade, with a total of more than thirty people.
The salaries of these people alone account for 70% of the Iron Banner Gang's current expenses.
During the conferment in Xiangtang in the morning, Chu Xisheng temporarily halved the salaries of all guest ministers under the pretext of difficult times.
Lu Pingyuan didn't expect these people to accept it.
But even so, this is still a huge expense, which makes the Iron Banner Gang overwhelmed.
"If you don't have enough land, grab it! Take the entire eight counties of Dongzhou first, as well as the counties of Feizhou in the west. If you can, grab it and occupy it. We have so many people to support, so we have to do something.
There are also those newly opened branches. You were unable to control them before and had no choice. Now that I am back, the rules must be set up so that they can make up all their contributions within a month.
"
Chu Xisheng smiled coldly: "Since I have taken the banner of my Iron Banner Gang, I should do my best for the gang."
Now that they have joined the Iron Banner Gang and sworn a blood oath, these people cannot be allowed to act recklessly.
Everyone was refreshed when they heard this.
Chu Xisheng's return gave them all a boost in confidence and a backbone.
The ‘Eight-Armed Diamond Sword’ Bu Yancheng was even more gearing up, his eyes were excited, and he thought it would be better to follow the banner leader.
This is just what he wanted.
Next, there will be a bloody storm in the entire Dongzhou and Feizhou areas!
The many fellow disciples he recruited have also been put to use.
"Anyway, I'll try my best to create financial resources. If it's not enough, I'll find another way."
When Chu Xisheng said this, he looked at the 'Corpse Dog' Li Manshan again: "Old Li, does your father have anything to tell me? What is the plan of the Corpse Mountain Sect?"
Li Manshan cupped his hands with a solemn expression: "Flag Master, there is a reason for that in Taishan County. Our sect wants to do something there, and we need to borrow the banner of the Iron Banner Gang. In fact, I don't know the details.
The corpses of the four ancient ancestors are related, but I don’t know which one they are."
"Ancestral Corpse?"
Chu Xisheng couldn't help but narrowed her eyes.
What are the four great ancestral corpses - Ying Gou, Hou Qing, Han Bao, Jiang Chen, and the Corpse Mountain Sect?
Seeing Chu Xisheng's frown, Li Manshan hurriedly explained: "Flag Master, although my Corpse Mountain Sect is not a famous and decent sect, it has a decent reputation and will never do anything harmful to nature. I can guarantee that our sect is in Taishan County
Whatever you do will never harm innocent people, and in addition, our sect has other important gifts to offer."
As he spoke, he carefully took out a vermilion wooden box and a bottle from his sleeve and placed them in front of Chu Xisheng.
Chu Xisheng raised his hand and took two things in his hand.
He only concentrated for a moment, then opened his eyes slightly and looked at Li Manshan in surprise: "Is this the blood of the ancestral corpse?"
"Inside the box is a second-grade corpse god pill, which can improve the spiritual intelligence of evil corpses and strengthen their soul and bloodline power. As for this jade bottle, it is the essence and blood of generals!"
Li Manshan smiled: "In the past, a general died, and my sect was lucky enough to get a hundred drops of his essence and blood. The general belongs to water, and he is the ancestor of the corpse of the water system. The Corpse God Pill and these three drops of the general's blood are enough to make the banner leader He Luo
Fish, will be promoted to the fourth rank within a month. Flag Master, rest assured, this blood has been refined by our Corpse Mountain Sect for seven thousand years, and has already eliminated the remaining consciousness of the generals."
"This gift is really valuable and generous."
However, Chu Xisheng smiled with disdain: "However, that Ho Luo fish was not raised by me for your Corpse Mountain Sect? I contributed money and effort to it."
He sighed and threw the wooden box and elixir bottle in his hand out of the window.
"That's all, for Manshan's sake, I will take care of this matter and hope that Corpse Mountain Sect can keep its word."
Chu Xisheng felt uneasy, thinking that Lu Pingyuan would have to send people to keep an eye on this matter.
If there is any accident, he can respond in time.
Outside this house is a large artificial lake, connected to the canal outside.
Just as Chu Xisheng threw the wooden box of the elixir bottle out, several huge tentacles rushed out of the water and eagerly grabbed the vermilion wooden box and the elixir bottle, dragging them into the water.
After not seeing each other for a year, this He Luo fish corpse was actually promoted to the fourth level.
Mainly because Tie Xiaosheng feeds well.
All kinds of natural and earthly treasures, as well as the essence and blood of various water monsters, were thrown at this Ho Luo fish for free.
The Heluo Yusha Corpse is not like them humans. They need secret medicines and rituals to be promoted. They are full of corpse demons and demonic powers that advance rapidly.
However, its cultivation level is actually very good.
Compared with a year ago, the improvement in combat power is extremely limited.
In the past, this Ho Luo fish could compete with a fourth-grade martial artist in the water, but now it is still a fourth-grade martial artist.
However, the blood essence and blood of the generals and the corpse god pill are worth looking forward to.
These things can not only improve the level of the evil corpse, but also stimulate its bloodline ability.
Chu Xisheng then took out two more pill bottles and threw them out of the window.
Both of these pill bottles were obtained from Yunhai Immortal Palace.
One of them is the essence and blood of the ancient mythical beast "Guhuo Bird".
"Gu Huo Niao" has ten heads and one body. She is the daughter of an ancient Heavenly Emperor and the source of Ho Luo Yu.
Inside the other pill bottle is a second-grade ‘Zhenyuan Pill’, which can help people subdue the energy, blood and essence in the body.
This Ho Luo fish used the blood essence of "Gu Huo Bird" and the blood of "General" at the same time, so it had to self-destruct.
However, with the addition of this 'Zhenyuan Pill', it can prevent the body from exploding within twelve hours.
Chu Xisheng was looking forward to it.
Whether it is a human or a giant spirit, the more violent the bloodline is in turbulence and extreme changes, the easier it is to awaken powerful abilities.
I wonder what kind of ability this Heluoyu evil corpse will finally awaken?
Just as Nahe Luoyu grabbed those sacred objects and hid in the water with great joy, Chu Xisheng looked at Lu Jiuli, the leader of Tieshan Hall among the people.
His eyes were solemn: "Uncle Lu, please tell us in detail the situation of Mijiazhuang Fort."
This is his first priority when he goes south this time!
At this time, Lu Jiuli also looked condensed and cupped his hands: "This matter should start from half a year ago -"
This chapter has been completed!
