Chapter 816: The Battle of Civilizations! The Treasure House of Border Guards
The opposition between good and evil is a battle of ideas, a battle of great ways, and it is also a battle of civilizations.
Practitioners of the right path, whether they are Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism or Shinto deities, focus on "accumulating essence and Qi" to absorb the aura of heaven and earth and collect the essence of the sun and moon, just like farmers digging soil in the fields for food.
Picking medicines from the Void Dharma Realm to refine oneself bit by bit is essentially a "farming civilization", accumulating Taoism and cultivation step by step, and achieving immortality step by step.
The demons outside the territory are just the opposite. They often take shortcuts and plunder the three treasures of the "Essence God" from sentient beings to strengthen themselves, and do not pay attention to their own accumulation. They are a typical "robber civilization".
The root cause that can breed a demonic civilization is the harsh environment in the outside world.
The energy of chaos is raging in the outside world, and countless demonic thoughts are just born, and are extinguished in an instant. They live and die, and their lives are short.
All the demons who managed to survive did so by chance. They rushed into the Void Dharma Realm. By chance, they plundered supplies from the creatures in the realm and strengthened their own demonic energy. Only then did they survive tenaciously.
It is precisely because of this that the "consciousness of worry" is imprinted deep in the souls of extraterrestrial demons, and plunder has become their instinct, making them martial, aggressive, bloody and barbaric.
When Chu Chen came back from inquiring about the news from the demonic realm outside the territory, his heart could not calm down for a long time.
In fact, even if a "space channel" is not opened, extraterrestrial demons can come to the eight southwest states at any time.
It's just that the magic energy consumption is a little higher.
If you are careful, you may easily lose money.
Powerful extraterrestrial demons generally look down upon low-level monks and will not invade at will.
Because even if you invade and plunder, you will probably lose money and not earn "travel expenses".
The demons outside the territory are also "profit-seeking", unless there is a grudge situation. The higher the level of the demon, the more patiently they will wait for the monks to reveal flaws in their mentality and take action, instead of taking the initiative without thinking.
In other words, the devil is smarter than anyone else and does not engage in loss-making transactions.
But once there is a directional "space channel", the situation is different.
From now on, the consumption of extraterrestrial demons coming to the "Eight Southwest States" will be greatly reduced, and the cost of the demon's invasion will drop drastically.
For the demons in [Luo Guixiang] and [Black Rock Holy Land], this is a "great benefit" for their development and growth. It has nothing to do with hatred or simple confrontation between good and evil. It is just the instinct of the demons outside the territory to grow and develop.
This is a battle of civilizations!
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
When the little ghost saw his senior brother holding a mirror, he was in a daze and was not in a good mood. Being smart and quick-witted, he quickly understood that his senior brother must be missing Sister Ying'er.
Thinking of this, the little kid struggled for two or three breaths, and finally gritted his teeth, took out two high-grade spiritual incense sticks that calmed the mind and benefited the mind, put them on the incense burner, lit them, held them with both hands, and placed them in front of Chu Chen:
"Senior brother, this is the top-quality spiritual fragrance that I have collected. Once you smell it, you will feel better and you won't miss Sister Ying'er so much."
Chu Chen was originally thinking about the invasion of demons, but when he saw the little devil holding an incense burner and blinking his big bright eyes, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha~ My little devil is so generous."
Chu Chen felt warm in his heart and was a little touched by the little ghost boy.
The incense in front of him was not an ordinary incense, but a top-notch incense called "Zen Heart". It was also the little devil's favorite incense, and he was willing to share it.
"Hehe~"
The little kid smiled sheepishly and sat down next to his senior brother, very well-behaved.
In fact, Chu Chen experienced separation and was shocked to hear that the extraterrestrial space passage was expanding, and his mood was unknowingly affected.
However, after the episode where the little devil shared the spiritual fragrance, Chu Chen was relieved of the depression and loss in his heart and felt very good.
"The little devil is nothing to be afraid of."
The battle of civilizations and the battle of avenues is not something that happens overnight.
Chu Chen didn't think much about it. In comparison, he paid more attention to his own practice.
After all, you need to be strong to make iron.
A few days ago, the [Earth Letter Seal] appeared in the Heart Temple. He was not able to comprehend it at first, but in the past few days, he went to Qingzhou to learn about the dragon.
Ling Niangniang, Long Jun’s guidance, he has gained a lot and has further understanding of the divine seal.
In addition, in the past two days, it has also reached a critical moment for his ghost general Gao Yuan to refine [Innate Qi of Transformation].
So, Chu Chen simply meditated quietly.
Three days later.
In the pure practice room, the clouds are steaming and the clouds are rising, and the golden light shines slightly.
Is there a tall god general standing firm, with a yellow turban ghost face, a soap robe and silver armor, a golden belt with red hair, hemp shoes holding a sword, a golden eagle with red hair on his arm, and a golden eye and claws?
It is the "Eight Flying Generals Wei Xi" transformed by the ghost general Gao Yuan, also known as Flying Eagle Shi. He has a red-haired golden eagle in his hand, and his claws can tear apart demons and ghosts with ease. He is good at hunting down demons and monsters and has extraordinary supernatural powers.
This time, he is no longer in the body of a ghost, nor is he "transforming" with the help of fairy beans. Instead, he has transformed into a body with the "innate energy of transformation", creating the true form of a ghost and god, and officially becoming a fourth-grade ghost and god.
"Thank you for your cultivation, my lord!"
The mighty and tall God General Gao Yuan handed over his hand, his face full of excitement.
As the soul of a soldier on the battlefield, after death and becoming a ghost, Gao Yuan did not have high hopes for his future. He only hoped to accumulate more merits, spend his remaining years, be reincarnated, and live a better life in the next life. But he never expected that
, he unexpectedly encountered extraordinary circumstances and met a noble person after his death.
His current moral cultivation is more advanced than that of the military commander he followed back then.
All this is so dreamy.
"Great kindness!"
Chu Chen was in a good mood.
Kou Zhun, the guard of Nantianmen, said before that even if a ghost general has the [Innate Qi of Transformation], he may not be able to transform smoothly.
The ghost general Gao Yuan broke through in one go, which was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise.
With him commanding three hundred and fourth-grade yellow turban warriors, the strength of his soldiers and horses has increased to a higher level, and it is no problem to fight against monsters with great supernatural powers.
"The magical power of soldiers and horses has become stronger again."
Chu Chen was in a good mood.
A few years ago, he had just broken through to the realm of great supernatural powers, and the level of soldiers and horses had not been improved, so it did not help him much.
Now, the military and horse powers he once relied on finally showed their strength again.
Moreover, this is only a fourth-grade Dharma Protector general and three hundred yellow scarf warriors.
When the eight flying generals are all promoted to the fourth rank of ghosts and gods, and the eight hundred soldiers and horses are all promoted to the fourth rank of yellow scarf warriors, he does not need to personally take action. He can sweep through the fourth rank of great supernatural powers by just relying on the formation of his troops and horses, displaying unparalleled power.
As soon as he thought of this, Chu Chen looked at the envious eyes of the other seven ghost generals in the Void Weaponry Dojo, and just as he was thinking of giving some encouragement, a spiritual light flashed through his waist [Du Guan Ling].
"Taihe is in charge of summoning..."
Chu Chen murmured to himself, vaguely guessing in his mind that it must be a matter of an extraterrestrial demon. The space passage expanded, and the fairy court could no longer sit still.
In Yunzhou City, the Department of Ghosts and Gods is in charge of the compound.
Taihe Taoist is sitting on the main seat, with Yunzhou Supervisor Qingzhu lay on his right and Yunlang, the city god of Yunzhou, sitting on his right.
Sitting in the hall were more than a dozen state deputy governors with great magical powers and cultivation, including Chu Chen, Han Chen and others.
All the powerful and powerful people in Yunzhou Xianting came together.
In addition, there are governors of all counties in Yunzhou, county supervisors, and county gods.
The atmosphere in the whole room seemed more solemn and heavy.
Taoist Taihe took a casual glance and saw that everyone was almost there. He cleared his throat and said:
"Everyone, I'm afraid you all know the news about the re-opening of the space channel between the outer demonic realm and our eight southwest states."
Everyone was silent and nodded in unison.
As one becomes more advanced in Taoism, the chances of encountering extraterrestrial demons will become smaller.
After reaching the realm of great supernatural power, unless one's own Taoist heart is not perfect, there is a problem in the state of mind, there is a flaw, and an opportunity is given to the devil, then it is possible to attract the devil from outside the territory.
These days, there are many great supernatural powers who are just collecting herbs and refining elixirs, but they have more or less encountered the experience of demons interfering with their practice.
Of course, except for Chu Chen.
He has the "Red Dragon Demon King" in his body, so he hopes that there will be extraterrestrial demons to invade him.
"Black eats black".
It's a pity that even if he blocked the aura of the "Red Dragon Demon King", no extraterrestrial demon would bother him, which made him quite regretful.
Seeing everyone nodding, Taoist Taihe shook his head and said sincerely:
"Fellow Taoists, I hope you will practice well and don't be bewitched by evil demons and outsiders. Persevere in accumulating energy, adhere to the righteous path of protecting life, persist in refining yourself to become true, and never forget your original intention, be harmonious at all times, and be firm in the path.
Heart."
Speaking of this, Taoist Taihe's expression suddenly became stern:
"If any Taoist friend is not firm enough in Taoism and cannot withstand the temptations of heavenly demons, and falls into evil heretics and commits bad karma, I will not be merciful, and my soul will fly away, and my body will die and my Taoism will disappear!"
When he said these words, Taihe Taoist regarded his spirit as a heavenly master, and his whole body was covered with fire. He stepped on the ten dharma realms, his mouth was filled with thunder and he struck a stick with great supernatural powers. All counties were in charge of it, and the spirits of ghosts and gods were deep in his heart.
place, which shocked their spirits.
Chu Chen also had a serious look on his face.
In fact, he took over the body of the "Red Dragon Demon King". From the outside world, he is also "playing with fire" and is a subject to be "monitored".
This is also the reason why Chu Chen is so taboo about this level of identity.
If others don't know the details, they will definitely be suspicious.
If Taoist Taihe knew about it, he would definitely be wary of him, treat him as a "hidden danger", monitor him at all times, and not dare to reuse him.
Mr. Ming Jing's side is better. After all, Mr. Ming Jing knows that he has deduced and comprehended the superior immortal skills, and the sleeping immortal is close to him.
"Don't take any chances. The higher the Tao, the higher the demon. If you think you are good at controlling demons, you will end up falling into evil heretics, and you will definitely die in the end!"
"Follow the instructions of the governor!"
Everyone was in awe, and bowed their hands in unison.
"Hmm~ My Taoist friends are so profound that I won't say anything more."
After Taoist Taoist Taihe spoke earnestly and carefully, his expression softened and he said:
"Since then, there have been frequent demonic disasters, and the extraterrestrial demonic realm [Luo Guixiang] will frequently invade the eight southwest states, and the demonic forces will also make a comeback. The situation is not optimistic, and the burden on you will become heavier and heavier." Speaking of this, Taoist Taihe
After a pause, he smiled softly:
"Everything has its good and its bad. The eight states in the southwest are plagued by demons. It is also the best place for you to practice to sharpen your Taoist heart. As long as you fellow Taoists can strengthen their Taoist heart, a few years of experience will be worth ten years of hard work!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall immediately started talking.
What Taoist Taihe said makes sense, it really makes sense.
The more advanced the cultivation reaches, the more important it is to "cultivate the mind" and "xinggong". The intrusion of extraterrestrial demons also has a "positive" effect on the immortal cultivators.
A cultivator who has not experienced the intrusion of demons is incomplete.
Of course, Taoist Taoist Taihe’s motivation is also about changing the concept.
The achievements of ten years of hard work can only be achieved with the help of real "cultivation", or with the help of miraculous elixirs, fairy materials and precious medicines.
The great gods in the hall, including the deputy governor of Tongzhou, the governor of each county, and the city god, were all "human spirits" who had seen the world. They heard the clues from the words of the governor of Taihe, and they suddenly became interested and spoke one after another.
"No matter what, how can the results of ten years of hard training be so good?"
"What I'm talking about is, I wonder if Xianting has provided assistance to our eight southwest states?"
"It doesn't matter what the higher-ups in the Immortal Court say..."
Everyone in the hall started to cheer.
Chu Chen and Han Chen were no exception, and the two of them shouted the loudest.
Taoist Taihe who was sitting in the seat shook his head, dumbfounded.
Just now, he gave the entire middle and senior management of Yunzhou Xianting a slap in the face and beat them hard, just to pave the way for the current incentives.
After all, it is useless to blindly warn against falling into evil heretics. Many people are slow in their cultivation and encounter bottlenecks. The chances of cultivating immortals and becoming Taoists are getting slimmer and slimmer. Naturally, their minds will wander and they will go astray.
It's useless to just beat people, you have to use means to encourage them.
Therefore, Taihe Taoist did not quell his appetite and said:
"Celestial Immortal
The Imperial Palace will indeed vigorously assist our eight southwest states. From now on, the Immortal Palace Treasure House will add a border guard treasure house to support our border areas. There are a large number of precious treasures in the treasure house. What kind of elixir can strengthen the foundation and enhance the Taoist cultivation?
There are all kinds of rare treasures from the Five Elements, top-notch magical powers and secret techniques, and immortal skills and rubbings."
Taoist Taihe talked non-stop, casually giving examples of the treasures in the "Border Guard Treasure House".
Later, a civil servant presented the list of [Border Guard Treasure House] to everyone present.
For a time, the hall became lively, and everyone picked up the roster and browsed it.
Chu Chen is no exception.
After taking a closer look, he was pleasantly surprised.
The treasures in [Chengbian Treasure House] are a little less than the normal [Xianting Treasure House], but they are all rare treasures that cannot be bought even if you have money. Taking out any of them can make everyone present feel excited.
What surprised Chu Chen even more was that there was actually "Innate Qi of Transformation" in the [Border Guard Treasure House].
The treasures in this [Border Guard Treasure House] need to be exchanged for immortal tribute or jade coins. However, there are conditions for exchanging treasures, which is that they must perform meritorious service in border defense in the eight southwest states.
For example, to redeem a [Innate Qi of Transformation], you need to guard the border for three years, have an excellent performance, or kill a monster with great magical power, in order to be eligible for redemption.
Other precious treasures such as the Five Elements Treasures are similar. They all require meritorious service, immortal tribute, and jade coins to be redeemed.
Even though the conditions for exchanging the treasure were high, everyone present was very happy and regarded it as a rare opportunity.
"Xianting is really a generous person!"
Chu Chen was pleasantly surprised. He was very interested in the Five Elements rare treasures and the elixir that strengthens the foundation and strengthens the vitality.
However, the one I am most interested in is [Innate Qi of Transformation].
He will upgrade all the eight ghosts under his command to fourth-level ghosts and gods. Relying on the magical power of a military strategist, he will be able to walk sideways below the third-level ghosts.
