Chapter 152 Hundred Coffins(1/3)
Different from Jie Xianfang in Yumin Town, Jie Xianfang in Yongfeng City is more like a small manor, divided into several individual courtyards.
Everyone from the Baifeng Sect moved into a separate courtyard.
There is even a living room in the courtyard.
After Cao Zhen and Lan Pili arranged everyone, they walked into the living room.
"Master Lan Peak, how far are we from the capital city of Zhenxian Dynasty now?" Cao Zhen went down the mountain for the first time, and Lan Pili had the map with him, but he didn't know how far we were from the capital city.
Lan Pili took out the map, made two gestures with his hands, and after thinking for a moment, estimated: "There is still about half a month left."
"Half a month?" Cao Zhen exclaimed in amazement: "How big is this Zhenxian Dynasty? We used the flying boat to fly for half a month. We didn't use the flying boat to travel in the three days before, and it can even be ignored.
, that is to say, we have only walked half the distance."
"That's about it." Lan Pili looked at Cao Zhen and said, "What I'm talking about is when we don't take a detour.
We are carrying the female devil from the Red Refining Demon Sect, and we are staying here again. I wonder if the people from the Red Refining Demon Sect will catch up with us, or figure out our next journey. If we are on the safe side, we'd better
Take another detour. In that case, we will arrive in the capital even later."
"If we take a detour..."
Cao Zhen looked at the map in Lan Pili's hand and was thinking about the route. There was a knock on the door, followed by Chang Tiance's voice. "Master Lan, there is someone outside the door asking to see you."
"Does Lord Lan have any acquaintances in this city?" Cao Zhen looked at Lan Pili in surprise.
Lan Pili also had a puzzled look on his face: "I don't know anyone in this city." As he said that, he looked up in the direction of the door and asked, "Who wants to see me?"
Outside the door, Chang Tiance quickly replied: "It's a policeman named Zhao in the city, who handed me a greeting card."
"Headhunter? What is the headhunter looking for me for? Moreover, we have just arrived in the city, and then we are looking for you?" Blue Pili became more and more strange, and pondered for a moment, but he still said towards the door: "After all, we are here
Since the other party wants to see us in the other party's city, let him come in.
Peak Master Cao, please stay and let’s take a look together to find out what is going on?”
Cao Zhen nodded slightly and stayed in the room.
Not long after, a very smart and capable head catcher who looked to be in his thirties and was wearing a head catcher's uniform walked into the room. He was holding a damaged black armor in his hand and put it directly.
He reached the table next to Cao Zhen and Lan Pili and said, "You two, please take a look at this armor."
Cao Zhen raised his eyes and looked at the armor. On the armor, he could see traces of being struck by weapons. Some of the armor had even been completely broken, making it obviously unusable.
It seems that this armor is nothing special at all, why...
Um?
Cao Zhen leaned forward slightly, raised his hand and pressed it on the armor.
"Demon aura... There is a kind of demonic aura on this armor, but this demonic aura is a bit weird. It is different from the demonic auras I have encountered before. This demonic aura is more like the aura of a dead body. And this aura is very weak.
Without careful inspection, you can’t find it.”
"Is there demonic energy?" After hearing Cao Zhen's words, Lan Pili raised his hand and landed on the armor. After a moment, he nodded slightly and said, "It is indeed the breath of a dead corpse."
As he said that, he looked up at the approaching catcher and asked, "Captain Zhao, what do you mean by bringing this armor to us?"
Zhao Captou said with a heavy expression: "In recent times, we have discovered many corpse soldiers around Yongfeng City, so I heard that there are immortal cultivators coming, so I came here specially."
Corpse soldiers.
Cao Zhen has heard of corpse soldiers, which are actually a kind of zombie, which can be said to be the most basic zombie.
Lan Pili said with a normal expression: "It's normal to have corpse soldiers. After all, there are many blood rivers in the Zhenxian Dynasty. Although the blood rivers have been suppressed, there will still be some demonic energy emanating.
Once some corpses are contaminated with demonic energy, they will undergo corpse transformation, so it is normal for corpse soldiers to appear. As long as there are not particularly strong corpse soldiers, there is no need to worry about it. "
Capt. Zhao nodded slightly and said, "I came here because I wanted to let a few of you help me take a look at these armors."
"Armor? Is there anything special about armor?"
Lan Pili looked at the armor, but didn't see anything special. Then he looked at Cao Zhen and asked, "Master Cao, maybe you can see something weird about this armor?"
He is not proficient in forging, but he is Peak Master Cao, who can make flying boats, and may be good at forging.
"I really don't think there's anything special about this armor." Cao Zhen shook his head slightly and said, "This looks like an ordinary armor from thousands of years ago."
When Capt. Zhao heard what the two said, he immediately realized that these two were very young and had not lived to live for a thousand years.
These two people have never experienced the era of armor. Even those who are in the world of immortality probably don't know much about armor anymore. I'm afraid they don't know what happened back then.
Zhao Captou looked at the closed door behind him, then looked at the two of them and asked: "I don't know, you two, but have you ever heard of an existence called Wu Xian, Helian Baitian?"
"Wuxian?" Cao Zhen looked confused. To be called a Wuxian must be an extremely terrifying and powerful existence, but there was no such person in his memory.
But Lan Pili said directly: "The person you are talking about must be the man-made disaster that happened in Zhenxian Dynasty back then."
Zhao Captou nodded and said: "Yes, what I am talking about is indeed the man-made disaster in the Zhenxian Dynasty back then."
Cao Zhen asked with a curious look on his face: "Man-made disaster? What do you mean, that Wu Xian He Lian Bai Tian caused a man-made disaster? What is his background? The grand master was already here at the time. How can he still cause a man-made disaster?"
Lan Pili picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then said: "Helian Baitian, although he is called a martial arts immortal, there is a fairy among them, but he is not a cultivator of immortality.
He is just a human being."
"Mortals? Mortals can still cause trouble?" Cao Zhen became more and more confused.
"It is precisely because he is a mortal that he caused the chaos. Moreover, although he is a mortal, he is completely different from many mortals. It would be a long story to talk about it."
Lan Pili looked at Cao Zhen and explained: "I have forgotten how many years ago it was. At that time, the Grand Master was indeed born and became the Grand Master of the dynasty.
The Zhenxian Dynasty became more and more powerful, and there were indeed some immortals who began to help the mortals of the Zhenxian Dynasty, making clouds and rain to help the mortals resist disasters.
However, the Immortal-Suppressing Dynasty was too big, and there would still be some remote places where the immortals would not have time to help mortals.
There are still many places where natural disasters are so severe that even ordinary immortals cannot stop them. There will still be some people in the dynasty who are living in difficulty.
In addition, what matters most are people.
Although it is said that with the presence of the Grand Master, the dynasty's official administration has become much clearer, but even the Grand Master cannot guarantee that all officials are fair and honest and will work hard for the people."
Cao Zhen nodded slightly and agreed: "Not to mention all officials, even most officials, are fair and honest. That is very rare."
He has experienced the era of information explosion in his previous life, and he knows very well how serious official corruption was in ancient times.
Throughout the dynasties, there has never been a king who only ensured that all officials were clean and honest while he was in power.
"That's right, Grand Master, the most he can do is ensure smooth weather, but he can't do it to eliminate all corrupt officials. Although the Grand Master has governed the country very seriously, tolerance is the most difficult thing to control in the world.
, such people have greed, and greed can never be overcome and satisfied."
Lan Pili sighed and said: "If the officials only bully the people lightly, the people will tolerate it, but if the officials bully the people very hard and the people can't stand it, and if there happens to be a natural disaster in the local area, then it will easily lead to another disaster."
Civil uprising.
At that time, there was a war between the Zhenxian Dynasty and another dynasty. Within the dynasty, natural disasters were also very frequent in those years. Therefore, many civil commotions broke out.
Wuxian Helian defeated the sky and launched a civil uprising at that time.
In fact, at that time, he was just an ordinary person, a person who was oppressed by the officials and could not survive. At that time, he organized hundreds of ordinary people who, like him, were oppressed by the local officials and could not survive, launched a civil uprising and together
They entered the county where they were located.
Although it was just an ordinary county town, the county town also had guards, and the local magistrate even secretly raised a group of hospital thugs.
Under normal circumstances, these hundred people would not be able to capture a county.
However, Helian Baitian was born with divine power and was extremely powerful. Although he was just an ordinary person, he could even pick up the stone lions in the county and wave them around at will.
That day, he took the lead and opened the city gate with a huge stone with his bare hands, led hundreds of people into the county town, and tore the county magistrate alive.
Although he killed the county magistrate, he also knew at that time that he could not hold the county seat and that he would definitely die when the imperial army arrived.
So he opened a warehouse to store grain, and after plundering the county prime minister's house, he led countless civilians to occupy the mountain and become king, becoming mountain bandits.
At that time, when he entered the county, there were only a hundred people, but when he left the county, the number was close to a thousand.
He even found an excellent place to park in the mountain. The mountain was surrounded by lakes. If he wanted to attack the mountain, he had to cross the river. The mountain was so vast that it would be difficult for them to find it if they hid in the mountain.
In this way, the imperial court sent troops to fight. After fighting several times, they could not capture him, but he himself became stronger and stronger.
It is said that at the beginning, he only relied on this brute strength. Not to mention his ability to cultivate immortals, he did not understand the fighting skills between mortals at all.
But as he fought with the imperial army again and again, his combat experience became more and more abundant, and it even made people feel like a general who had fought a hundred battles.
It seems that every time he fights against the military, he can learn all the fighting skills from the other side. And the more his army fights, the more they admit defeat, and even some generals and soldiers of the army have defected to him.
Later, many mortals even took the initiative to seek refuge with him.
Although it is said that mortals cannot cultivate immortality, mortals also have martial arts skills and moves. As people with various martial arts skills join him, his personal strength has improved by leaps and bounds. He no longer even guards the mountain.
, but directly led the army to occupy cities one after another.
As his strength becomes stronger and stronger, the imperial army has no way to deal with him."
Cao Zhen nodded in understanding. He was a martial arts wizard, but he still had some doubts.
"What about the Grand Master? Doesn't the Grand Master take action?"
Lan Pili explained: "The Grand Master will not take action, because the Grand Master said that his power can only be used against immortals, and he will not take action against mortals.
Of course, the grand master will not use the power of immortals, but others will not guarantee not to use the power of immortals.
Especially the officials in the city near Helian Baitian were even more panicked, fearing that Helian Baitian would attack him at some point.
After they discovered that the power of legal persons could not compete with Helian Baitian, they thought of immortals and wanted to use the power of immortals.
They believe that Helian Baitian, a mortal, no matter how strong he is, cannot fight against the immortals. Although they say that they cannot invite the immortals from our top ten immortal sects, there are still many casual cultivators in the Zhenxian Dynasty.
