On the way back to Guangling Mountain, the aura of the [Wanquan Mountain Changing Order] worn by Chu Chen on his waist kept flickering.
Master Qingzhu, the head of the Yunzhou Taoist Academy, Han Chen, the deputy governor of the Yunzhou Ghosts and Gods Department, and Master Tongda, the governor of Wanquan County, contacted Chu Chen one after another, informing him of the news of an all-out war between the frontline army and the demon army, and asking him to take countermeasures.
, if an accident occurs, report it to the superior immediately.
Chu Chen understood the seriousness of the situation and did not delay. He hurried back to Guangling Mountain and convened the senior Taoist officials for discussion. Taoist Feihong, Taoist Priest Qingdu, and Fairy Rouyun arrived immediately.
"Shan Chief, is there really a war breaking out on the front line?"
Taoist Master Feihong of Guangling Mountain also received the gossip in advance.
However, he was still lucky.
As a great Kyushu ghost and god, no one knows better than him what the outbreak of the war means.
In order to open up the Great Kyushu, the Celestial Dynasty fought countless battles, every inch of the mountains and rivers were bloody, and many people threw their heads and shed their blood. This was especially true for their Shinto ghosts and gods. After a big battle, I don't know how many ghosts and gods would perish.
Everyone in the world thinks that ghosts and gods are high above, enjoying the incense of all people, and living freely and freely. Those are the ghosts and gods in the middle-earth land, but the ghosts and gods in the prefectures and counties outside the pass are not so good.
In the event of a major turmoil, the people in major cities can evacuate, and the garrison troops stationed in various places can be strategically relocated, but the ghosts and gods who have sealed a place cannot escape.
Forcibly abandoning the Imperial Conferred God's Realm and escaping, that is to give people the power to control the temple. The demons occupy the temple and stir up the mountains and rivers, which will cause the ghosts and gods to be counterattacked.
Even if he doesn't die, Yin Shen will be severely damaged.
This is why Taoist Feihong was full of complaints when he was appointed as the God of Guangling Mountain.
After finally surviving the hardships in Dajiuzhou, I came to Guangling Mountain in Yunzhou and was frightened and tortured. Who can bear this?
Seeing Taoist Feihong's expression of confusion, Chu Chen understood the mountain god's thoughts and struck out:
"Fellow Daoist Feihong, the news is true. I know you are full of complaints, but if you are passive and sabotage, it will be no small matter if Guangling Mountain cannot be defended. I have a heavy responsibility and cannot escape the relationship. Your life is even more in danger.
."
Taoist Feihong, the mountain god, sighed: "Master of the mountain, a poor Taoist knows the importance."
Chu Chen nodded slightly.
Although the first impression Taoist Feihong gave him was not good, after getting along with him for a year, his impression changed greatly.
Being able to survive the storms and waves in Guanwaizhou County for decades and still survive until now, there is no doubt about his Taoist and magical powers and his ability to do things.
Chu Chen has served in various places and has been in charge of one party for a long time. He has good experience in all aspects, but he is self-aware.
Regarding how to lead Wanquan Taoist Temple through the storm of the war, Taoist Feihong must have more experience than him, and he immediately said:
"Fellow Taoist Feihong, you have been serving as a mountain god in various places. You have experienced great and small battles and countless turmoils. This time the defense of Guangling Mountain will be presided over by Lao Gu."
"Thank you, Chief Shan, for your attention!"
Taoist Feihong, the mountain god, felt happy when he saw that the mountain chief had delegated power to him, and he couldn't help but look at his own mountain chief.
There is no shortage of talented people in the human race at any time, but it is rare to find someone as steady and humble as the Mountain Chief.
His talent in cultivating Taoism and magical powers may not necessarily be outstanding, but he is good at formations and barrier techniques. He has great experience in surviving in wars and storms.
"Mountain Chief, the most important thing now is to recall all the outgoing disciples of the Taoist Academy in time. No one is allowed to go out in the near future, the mountain is completely closed, and there is no contact with the outside world. If a frontline war breaks out, the delicate balance in the past will be broken, and chaos will occur everywhere.
, The army of monsters is certainly terrifying, but even the casual cultivators and monsters in the mountains cannot save money."
Chu Chen, Qingdu, and Rouyun expressed their deep agreement.
The order in various places in Guanwai Prefecture is extremely weak. In the past, a delicate balance was formed under the checks and balances of all parties. Now that the war has broken out, various places are in chaos, and all the dormant ghosts, ghosts and snake gods have appeared.
After the collapse of order, the clothes of civilization faded away, revealing barbarism and bloodshed.
Qingdu Taoist Priest: "Mountain Chief, Senior Feihong Mountain God, recently the disciples of the Taoist Academy happened to come back from their relatives' visit. No one has traveled far. A few people are practicing around Guangling Mountain. I have urged them to come back as soon as possible."
Feihong Mountain God nodded with satisfaction and continued: "That's good. All the people living in the villages in Guangling Mountain will also move into the Taoist temple, reduce the defensive area, and then spread the formation in Guangling Mountain to prevent the enemy from outside the formation."
After saying that, he turned to Chu Chen and said flatteringly:
"Captain, to tell you the truth, over the past year, I have deployed hundreds of series of mazes and traps in Guangling Mountain to meet emergencies. Hehehe, it finally came in handy."
Chu Chen was stunned, there were hundreds of formations, good guy, he didn't even know about this.
"Taoist Feihong, have you arranged hundreds of formations? Has Immortal Court given you so many resources?"
Taoist Feihong, the mountain god, shook his head and said:
"How can Xianting be so generous? This is all my money. I have spent most of my life's savings on it."
Chu Chen, Hu Dali, Qingdu, Rouyun and others took a deep breath.
What a big gesture.
No wonder Taoist Feihong has experienced so much turmoil, and his fellow ghosts and gods have fallen one by one, but he can survive until now.
Hundreds of sets of serial formations.
Good guy, a proper "man from Gou Taoism", Feihong Taoist is not a mountain god, he is clearly Gou God.
Chu Chen was surprised, but also quite happy in his heart.
People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong.
In the past, Wanquan Taoist Temple was famous for preaching scriptures and teachings. Although there were many benefits, the disadvantages were also obvious. Once unrest broke out, Wanquan Taoist Temple could easily cause trouble.
Once the situation becomes chaotic, each place will have no time to take care of itself. If Wanquan Taoist Temple is attacked, Wanquan County and City may not be able to rush to rescue in time, and many times they have to rely on the Taoist Temple itself.
Upon hearing the handwriting of the mountain god, no, "god god" Feihong Taoist, Chu Chen was overjoyed and said:
"Fellow Taoist Feihong is really prepared for a rainy day. With your generous help, our Wanquan Taoist Temple can rest easy."
Taoist Feihong smiled reservedly:
"Shan Chief, it costs a lot to maintain these hundreds of serial arrays. The incense and jade money I have are not enough, you see."
Taoist Feihong is a mountain god, and he uses the power of heaven and earth around Guangling Mountain. He has vast supernatural powers, and the mountain temple soldiers under his command are well-controlled, and it is easy to control hundreds of chain magic arrays.
However, if he is guarded for a long time, his divine power is limited and he needs incense and jade coins to replenish his divine power.
If the three armies are not moved, food and grass will go first. Fighting is very expensive.
Chu Chen understood this truth, and immediately looked at Fairy Rouyun beside him, and asked:
"Fellow Taoist Rouyun, how much jade money is left in the Taoist accounting room?"
Immortal Aunt Rouyun was in charge of the treasury and granary of the conduit courtyard. She knew all about this and said without thinking:
"Mountain Chief, in the past year, in addition to subsidizing the Taoist disciples' cultivation, we have also distributed rewards to the teachers and students of the Taoist Institute. The expenses have been huge, and there are only about 1,067,500 jade coins left in the account.
"
Chu Chen nodded slightly and said immediately: "I have 500,000 jade coins in my hand. I will temporarily lend it to the Taoist Academy to collect 1.5 million jade coins in case of emergencies."
Taoist Feihong, Taoist Priest Qingdu, and Fairy Rouyun were all speechless when they heard that Chu Chen had taken out five hundred thousand jade coins in one breath.
Even for fifth- and sixth-grade monks, five hundred thousand jade coins is not a small amount.
It is not easy for them to earn half a million jade, let alone save half a million jade.
Chu Chen was not surprised when he saw everyone was surprised. It was not easy for him to save five hundred thousand jade coins at the beginning. It was only after he returned from the East China Sea feast that he had more money.
"Fellow Daoist Feihong, this amount of money must be enough for the time being, right?"
"That's enough, that's enough, Commander, don't worry. I will definitely manage the formation well and defend Guangling Mountain impregnably, allowing all invading enemies to escape in confusion."
Taoist Feihong smiled widely. Instead of the embarrassment on his face at the beginning, he was full of confidence and happy.
A meaningful smile appeared on Chu Chen's face.
Since he came to the Immortal Court, he has been working as a ninth-grade substitute immortal official, from the bottom to the county governor, and then promoted all the way up, taking charge of a courtyard, being in charge of a party for a long time, becoming a leader, and meeting all kinds of people.
Numerous, very knowledgeable about what’s going on underneath.
As long as there are loopholes to exploit, corruption will easily breed.
At present, the guard of Guangling Mountain is presided over by Taoist Feihong, the mountain god. He has also asked for financial power, temporarily possessing extremely high power. He has the final say in many aspects.
As long as Taoist Feihong is willing, he can cleverly create a name, report excessively afterwards, and then harm the public and enrich his private life, and engage in wanton corruption.
Such incidents are difficult to prevent.
Many times, it depends on a person's moral integrity.
A righteous monk who devotes himself to cultivation and seeking truth may still be able to stick to the Taoist heart, but he is afraid that some people will fall into the wrong path.
But there are many ghosts and gods who have no hope of becoming immortals, who are bent on confounding the system, and who have the intention of seeking profit, so it’s hard to say.
Chu Chen delegated power to the mountain god under his command, but it did not mean that he was not wary. He smiled and said to Feihong Taoist:
"Fellow Taoist Feihong, my old boss, Deputy Duguan Han, is also extremely proficient in formations. He has been praised by Mr. Tianshi Mingjing for his extraordinary attainments in formations. If Wanquan Taoist Temple survives the storm safely this time, Pindao will tell Han
The deputy governor recommends you, report it to him, and maybe you can get some advice."
Taoist Feihong saw Chu Chen looking at him meaningfully. He was used to seeing strong winds and waves, so it was hard for him not to hear the hidden meaning of the mountain chief's words.
This is both a reminder and a warning.
The mountain leader doesn't understand the formation, but there are people who do, and he is also the deputy capital of Yunzhou.
If you make small moves, you won't be able to get off the stage by then.
Taoist Feihong smiled sarcastically.
He did have this intention, he had done this before, and he had accumulated a lot of life-saving money from a hundred sets of serial formations in this way.
Now being criticized and beaten by his immediate boss, Taoist Feihong felt a little embarrassed, but his face was full of joy:
"Thank you for your support, Chief Shan. Pindao will definitely perform his duties with all his heart."
"Well, thank you for your help, Fellow Taoist Feihong!"
In the next two days, the eight states in southwest China were completely in turmoil.
The battle between the Celestial Army and the demon army stirred chaos everywhere, and the weak order collapsed instantly.
The demon army has not yet poured into the eight southwest states, but the situation everywhere is in chaos.
The first to bear the brunt were the major markets and ghost markets, where countless desperate monks and monsters took advantage of the chaotic situation and started a vigorous zero-dollar purchase.
In many towns and cities where news was lagging behind, many ghost markets still didn't know what was going on. Countless evil spirits and crazy monks came like a tide, burning, killing, looting, and being brutal and bloody.
Of course, there are also major forces taking advantage of the chaos to avenge their enemies, entangled with grudges, and the entire Border Prefecture and County has fallen into huge chaos, with crises everywhere and undercurrents surging.
When you go out, as long as you encounter someone who is not one of your own, you can treat it as an enemy and you must always be on guard.
If you are not careful, you may be tricked.
Lingxiao Residence, Cave Mansion.
Chu Chen was meditating quietly in the clean room and was in a good mood.
Just now, Qingying used the dream stone to invite him into his dream and had a conversation.
The situation at Qingying is pretty good.
Because the Diyuan Chamber of Commerce received the news early and retreated in time, it avoided the impact of the unrest, and shops in various places were not subjected to "zero dollar purchases" by outsiders.
Of course, being looted is nothing, as long as some belongings are lost, they are lost.
The most critical thing is that if the alchemists, weapon refiners, incense makers and other talents carefully cultivated by the Chamber of Commerce cannot withstand the torment, losing people will be a real injury.
At present, the Diyuan Chamber of Commerce has reduced its power in time. With Qingying's Taoist and magical powers, few strong people at the same level can overpower her. As long as she is not targeted by those with great magical powers, she is safe.
In the past two days, the situation in Guangling Mountain has been relatively stable, and there have been no attacks.
Taking advantage of the rare free time in these two days, Chu Chen was not idle and devoted himself to practicing.
Emperor Tian pays off his conscientious people.
After two days of hard training, Chu Chen finally opened the secret of the physical body, and the innate magical power of [Leg Yuanjun] was awakened.
This is also the reason why Chu Chen is in a good mood.
"He actually awakened the magical power of killing [Taishan Divine Leg]!"
Chu Chen murmured to himself.
Those who are too mountainous are also Mount Tai!
Also known as Daishan, Dongyue, etc., it is one of the five mountains and is known as the "first of the five mountains" and the "first mountain in the world".
"The Encyclopedia of Searching Gods from the Origins of Three Religions" says, "Mount Tai is the ancestor of all mountains, the sect of the Five Mountains, the grandson of the Emperor of Heaven, and the home of the gods."
There is a magical power in the "Dijin Collection" of the Lingshan School called "Twist the Earth to Create a Mound".
Once you acquire this magical power, you can twist the earth into hills several feet high, which is quite powerful.
In the early days of Chu Chen's cultivation, this magic power was his common magic power to defeat his enemies.
As his Taoist practice improves, the power of this magical power is not small.
It's just that Chu Chen has extensive experience and has many top-level magical powers, so he gradually eliminated this magical power and rarely used it.
The magical power currently awakened by Leg Yuanjun [Taishan Divine Leg] and the magical magical power [Twist the Earth to Make a Mound] belong to the same type of magical power, but their power is quite different.
[Taishan Divine Legs] is a magical power awakened after opening the secret of the physical body. A pair of divine legs are connected to the Five Sacred Mountains. When one kicks down, it is as if Mount Tai is pressing down on the top. It is majestic and powerful. It is an extremely terrifying martial arts magical power.
"That's right! With the two magical powers of [Taishan Divine Legs] and [Tiangang Incarnation], even if the tiger turns into a dragon, my martial arts fighting skills are not weak."
Chu Chen was overjoyed and made up for another shortcoming.
[Transformation into Tiger] [Transformation into Dragon] is indeed powerful, but there are many supernatural powers in the spiritual world that can subdue dragons and subjugate tigers. In comparison, although the human being is weaker, he does not have obvious magical powers to restrain himself.
Of course, what makes him quite happy is that [Taishan Divine Leg] is a magical power that unlocks the awakening of the body's secrets. It has extremely high growth potential. As the cultivation level increases, it becomes more powerful as it progresses.
Chu Chen was about to go out, and at this moment, the little devil's spiritual voice came to his ears.
"Senior brother, Feihong Mountain God is looking for you. He said that someone broke into the serial magic circle outside."
