Along the way from Tiangang City to Xuanzang College, Yang Qi and Lu Yuan helped to 'consecrate' the spiritual pagodas along the way. Otherwise, even if Ding Yi activated the jade talisman in the school's spiritual pagoda, he would still be unable to contact Tiangang City. This so-called

The Cultivation Technology of the Research Institute requires a relay-style 'consecration' over hundreds of kilometers, which is actually not very advanced.

Does the empire have a more advanced communication method? Of course there is, but this so-called more advanced method is actually the most primitive method. That is achieved through special cultivators, who are called 'tongming'

By'.

This kind of monk is useless and is no different from a mortal. Its only function is to serve as a messenger to achieve ultra-long-distance communication.

Some researchers say that these 'underworld practitioners' should be the longest-lived people, but in fact, most of these people die young, and their life span is generally less than that of mortals. They are the most miserable cultivators in the world. They burn their lives,

Overdrawn life, they are imprisoned all their lives, have no freedom, and live worse than a mortal. Once a cultivator with this kind of qualification is discovered, it is destined to become a tragedy. They are well-dressed and well-fed, but they are just in a cage.

The little birds cannot change their miserable fate

There is such a person beside Zongxiao.

There are hundreds of thousands of mountains in the southwest. Many mountains have modern civilization and unexplainable natural phenomena. The 'Thousand Miles Sound Transmission' and the 'Ten Thousand Miles Talisman' will fail here, and carrier pigeons and eagles will fly around without finding their direction. And here is a poisonous miasma.

There are wild places where monsters and beasts roam everywhere. It is even more difficult to achieve contact with the outside world.

As the commander-in-chief of the empire responsible for countering the rebellion, Zongxiao was under great pressure. The empire devoted all its efforts to recruiting hundreds of thousands of monks to encircle and suppress the scum of the empire such as the Mang Ancient Religion, the Truth Society, and the Witch Cult. After completing their efforts in one battle, they wanted to

Completely eradicate enemies of the empire such as the Manggu Sect and the Society of Truth from this world. The difficulty involved is extraordinary.

The hundreds of thousands of mountains in the southwest, the vast land, and the complex and harsh ecological environment can all be overcome. However, the endless raids, assassinations, and ambushes are like an inescapable shadow.

Ever since we set foot on this land in the southwest, these harassments have never stopped. Poisoning, spreading plague, releasing poisonous insects... all kinds of vicious and despicable methods have never stopped.

What's even more terrifying is the terrorist hiding in the crowd. You can't tell whether he is a civilian or a dangerous person. At one moment, he may be a harmless aborigine, but at the next moment he can transform into a terrifying demon, crazy.

Launch a surprise attack.

Every man, woman, and child may be a member of the Manggu Sect and the Truth Society. In fact, according to insider information, these extremist sects have sent at least no less than ten thousand of these dangerous elements to mingle among the crowd. Many of them are cultivators.

Some of them are created mutants, and some are just the most ordinary aboriginal people. Maybe they are fanatical religious believers, maybe they are poor people who are bullying and intimidating. I can’t explain clearly. If you don’t mix among the crowd,

Strange move, who knows their true identity?

Zongxiao formulated several plans.

The differentiation strategy of using barbarians to control barbarians used the aristocratic families who originally lived in the southwest and were committed to the empire as the vanguards to fight against rebellion. They also took advantage of their local advantages and were familiar with the local mountain and geographical environment to fight against evils such as the Manggu Sect, the Truth Society, and the Witch Cult.

The sect carried out the first blow.

The aboriginal people are subject to a series of double-teaming methods to supervise each other to ensure the safety and stability of each place to the greatest extent.

Adopt a layer-by-layer approach, set up layers of obstacles along the long provinces and counties to cut off traffic. They move forward hand in hand like a dragnet to compress the space for these rebels to move.

Special operations forces were established, and special operations squads were deployed into enemy-occupied areas to carry out special operations and carry out precise attacks on locations where rebels such as the Manggu Sect, the Truth Society, and the Witch Sect might appear.

Treat different sects in different ways to divide these rebels. Drop countless leaflets and conduct psychological warfare.

Tens of thousands of talisman camera formations were deployed, and the empire's most elite scientific research institute, the 'Thunder Team', was deployed to use the empire's latest cultivation technology to carry out unprecedented technological warfare against these rebels.

…

All imaginable methods have been thought of, and all available means have been used. However, the effect is not very good. Of the thirteen provinces in the southwest, four of the provinces that have been guaranteed to be recovered still cannot be completely guaranteed that there are no rebels in them.

In the empire's anti-insurgency and counterinsurgency operations, fierce fighting still occurs every day.

The number of casualties and casualties has remained high.

The opponent is very experienced in fighting mobile warfare, war of attrition, and guerrilla warfare. It is difficult to prevent the harassment, sabotage, and assassination incidents that occur mysteriously. In fact, since the war began, there has not been a big victory against the rebels, and only a few small fish and small fish have been killed and captured.

shrimp.

Fighting the rebellion has become a long process. Zongxiao has thought of countless ways, but so far there has been little progress.

Xiaowen came over. She was a girl of twelve or thirteen years old. She had exquisite facial features and fair skin. She should have been a treasure in the hands of her parents, but she was a 'traveler'. Her

Destiny is like this child's pale lips. She is destined to be a 'sacrifice' to be consumed by the empire.

She tugged on Zongxiao's clothes, and Zongxiao turned around and looked at this girl who made people feel pity for her.

"Xiao Wen, have you finished your homework? Stop running around and go back to your room..." Zong Xiao said softly.

Xiao Wen looked at Zong Xiao with wide eyes and said: "Zong Xiao, since the rebellion was suppressed, the anti-rebellion army has been disorganized, lax, and slow, and the army has been ineffective in suppressing the army. Since hundreds of thousands of monks were stationed in the southwest, they have consumed national funds and countless resources, but they have always been

I haven't heard of a decent battle. On the contrary, casualties occurred from time to time in the army. This is an unheard of thing since the founding of the empire! Your supervision was ineffective and completely disorganized, so that the war in the southwest has been ruined to this day. The parliament has tasked you to break the deadlock as soon as possible and wipe out the remaining bandits.

There must be new improvements within two months, and there must be major gains within the year, otherwise you will be punished for wasting the opportunity and being lazy. I hope you will take care of yourself."

Zongxiao was shocked. It turned out that this was a warning from the speaker of the parliament.

There has always been a bad rapport between the major departments headed by the military and the parliament. The parliament is responsible for budgeting, approval, reporting, supervision and review, and has always been dissatisfied with the major ministries. Unexpectedly, this time, the parliament bypassed

The military headquarters issued orders directly to him, which was simply unheard of.

The most taboo thing about this war is multiple incidents! What does this mean when the Speaker is pointing fingers behind his back?

If the parliament feels that it is not competent, it can simply replace itself and arrange for someone that the parliament can trust to lead the army.

Empty talk will harm the country. These guys in the House of Representatives who talk all day long and quarrel can only talk on paper. How many of them are actually people who do practical things? How many of them have practical experience? Don’t think that they have played a few games of soul fighting.

Luo', you really think you are a military strategist! The reality is not like a game, there are too many things to consider. This is fighting chaos, which is different from ordinary combat. What else can these guys do besides holding back and talking big words?

?

Zong Xiao's face was filled with green anger, but he quickly suppressed the resentment.

"Speaker, the situation of suppressing bandits in the southwest is strange. The evil people like the Manggu Sect and the Truth Society are originally natives of the southwest. The geographical environment here is complex and there are many civilians and villagers. Many of them are deceived and bewitched. The legacy of the cults is not short-lived.

It can be eliminated in time. The evil bandits mostly hide in the mountains and forests, taking advantage of the geographical convenience, which is very detrimental to our army's deployment and operations. There are also many connections between the township party and the evil bandits here. The screening and verification work is arduous and cannot be done overnight...

"

"Don't say that these are available or not. This is a national matter, not a bargain in the market. You only have two months. Remember, in two months, the parliament must see the results." Xiao Wen said sternly.

"Speaker..." Zongxiao was still waiting to explain. Xiaowen had already fallen down softly.

"Watson, Watson, Xiaowen has fainted, come here quickly." Zong Xiao shouted outside the house. His medical expert, Watson, rushed in from outside the house, took the little girl and began to treat her.

Zong Xiao sighed and walked out of his room. This was the residence of a large family in Shenglong Village, and it was the frontline headquarters for fighting rebellion. Looking at the mountains and mountains, the sky and the earth were blurry, Zong Xiao felt very tired.

Ding Yi was also very tired. Physical fatigue and mental fatigue made him extremely sleepy. He just wanted to lie down early after eating.

He took Jiang Yuhan to the canteen in Yushan. As a member of the Qinglian Competition, Ding Yi would certainly not go back to Zanggu Cave to eat 'grass'. There was cooking in Yushan, so there was no need for him to pretend.

That nobility.

It's only three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and Fang Ying and the others haven't come over yet. In the cafeteria, there are only two senior brothers who are still earning credits. Ding Yi is acquaintance to them, and Jiang Yuhan is the first time they meet.

Because of Jiang Yuhan's Poison Spirit qualification, she is actually managed by the senior sister from Fengyi Palace every day.

Bring food back to eat.

Seeing Ding Yi coming over with a little girl covered with a veil, both of them were a little strange. Ding Yi, this little guy, is a legend in Xuanzang Academy. Weird things always happen to this little guy. First, he got

He was favored by the retired seniors of the former Xuanzang Academy and established the Xuanji Club for him. Later, he wandered around outside and came back, becoming a spiritual-level intermediate puppet master. The most amazing thing is that he has now become a Qinglian Competition Master.

The chief general of Xuanzang Academy, even the 'Wood Dragon' Long Yan was defeated by him. It was not surprising that he kidnapped a little girl this time.

"Little Ding Yi, I heard that you were carried here this morning, right?" The fat senior brother asked jokingly with a smile.

"I heard that the junior sisters from Fengyi Palace feed us lunch at noon. Junior Brother Ding, you are so lucky!" Senior Brother Shouzi took over.

What could Ding Yi say? He could only lower his head shyly.

"This junior sister, is she very blind? Why do you have to cover your face when traveling?" Senior Brother Skinny asked casually.

"This is Junior Sister Jiang Yuhan from Fengyi Palace. I'll bring her over to have something to eat..."

Before Ding Yi finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of Fatty Brother and Thin Brother suddenly changed. They quickly took a few steps back and shouted: "Get out quickly, get out quickly, Junior Brother Ding, you can stay, this ugly monster, get out quickly."

Ding Yi was stunned, this is great, why would these two senior brothers say such extreme things?

Jiang Yuhan knew what was going on, but she was still extremely sad, with tears in her eyes, and turned around to leave.

Ding Yi also realized at this time that he couldn't blame the two senior brothers for this matter. After all, they were the ones to blame. He said softly to Jiang Yuhan: "Junior sister, please wait for me outside for now. I will come out soon."

When Jiang Yuhan left the cafeteria, Senior Brother Shouzi blamed Ding Yi and said: "Junior Brother Ding, this girl has the qualifications of a poisonous spirit. You don't want to die. It's too late for others to hide from her. You are still with her. Don't look at her good figure.

She speaks like a silver bell, but this girl is actually an ugly monster..."

Brother Fatty said: "A cultivator with Poison Spirit qualifications has her own toxins all over her body, and she unconsciously absorbs toxins from the outside world and also alienates the surrounding environment. If you stay around her, you will inevitably be affected by her.

A certain degree of poisoning. If it takes a long time, your life will be in danger. This is not a joke. We work in the canteen, and this food safety matter is not trivial. If there is an accident here, the two of us will be

I can’t afford it.”

Ding Yi frowned and said: "Junior sister Jiang is a member of my Xuanji Society. She is the most kind-hearted person. Due to her own qualifications, she is a bit disgraced. This is not her fault. No one has the ability to choose their own qualifications.

She was originally a beautiful and dignified girl, but with this look on her face, she is already extremely sad. Senior brothers saying such things is a kind of harm to Junior Sister Jiang..."

Ding Yi also knew that these two senior brothers did not mean any harm, and said: "Senior brother's caring heart for his junior brother is deeply appreciated by him, but he is a little too unkind to junior sister Jiang. Please give me three big meat buns,

And give me some crispy dried fish."

Senior Brother Fatty said: "Junior Brother is also a kind person. I won't say any more unnecessary words. Please stay for a while."

After that, he and Senior Brother Shouzi went into the kitchen, and after a while they wrapped three large meat buns in a piece of oil paper, and then wrapped some dried fish in a piece of perilla leaf and handed them to Ding Yi.

Ding Yi thanked him and then left the canteen.

Jiang Yuhan stood alone at the intersection, seemingly crying again. Ding Yi walked over and handed over the oil paper bag.

"Junior sister, don't be sad. You should quickly improve your cultivation level and become a spiritual cultivator as soon as possible. In this way, you can control it freely and your brothers will stop talking nonsense. Eat it while it's hot. It won't be good if it's cold.

have eaten."

"Brother, what if I can never become a spiritual cultivator in my whole life?" Jiang Yuhan said quietly without moving. In fact, there are indeed many cultivators who only stay at the Feather level throughout their lives and cannot be promoted.

.

Ding Yi was stunned for a moment and said: "If this is really the case, then you will have no choice but to follow me. No matter what, I will train you to become a spiritual level puppet master."

Jiang Yuhan broke down in tears and said with a smile: "Senior brother, you can't go back on your words." He took the oil paper bag.
Chapter completed!
