Kong Ming said: "My lord, although the future is promising, the most important thing now is to stabilize the foundation. Jizhou and Qingzhou are both rich places. If the people's hearts are unstable, it will be difficult to provide support for the world hegemony."
Liu Bei was modest, and then said: "The most troublesome thing now is the monsters all over the place, but it's not so bad in the county.
Even in the countryside, people often suffer from it. Although I have ordered Zilong to lead the army to conquer, the monsters are too scattered, and they often encounter alarms. By the time they arrive, the village has already suffered damage, which is really overwhelming.
Disturbance."
Xu Yin thought for a while, "Why not recruit strange people and use the method of offering rewards to destroy monsters everywhere? If we do this with the army, it will cost a lot, but the effect may not be good."
Liu Bei nodded, "There is no shortage of gold and silver at the moment. I have no choice but to do this, but how can there be so many strange people and strangers in the world?"
Xu Yin thought of the Caogang and Tianjianmen established by Wang Yue in Bashu and Jingzhou. The former was an extensive intelligence network, while the latter was a military organization belonging to Wang Yue.
He recruits disciples aggressively, and has taught several disciples over the years, which may allow him to send people to help.
Xu Yin said: "I have quite a few friends in the world, so I invited them to gather in Jizhou. As long as the reward is enough, I will be able to help a lot."
Zuo Ci also said: "Pindao also knows some friends in the Taoist sect, so he can certainly do his part."
Liu Bei nodded slightly, already knowing that the people Xu Yin and Zuo Ci called must be some Jianghu rangers.
He himself has no objection to rangers. After all, he was a ranger when he was young. He traveled far and wide with a sword and developed good martial arts skills.
However, under his rule, he used the Overlord Dao Zaza to assist him. Although he could borrow the power of the ranger in times of chaos, if things were calmed down and the ranger refused to accept the return of his native land, he would not be polite to clean up the situation.
Xu Yin spent several months killing monsters in Jizhou, and finally waited for people from Shu to come.
What surprised him was that it was Wang Yue himself who came!
All the elite disciples of Tianjian Sect also arrived.
"Hahahaha, Brother Xu, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for nearly ten years, your cultivation would be so much stronger than before! I'm afraid I am no longer your match now!"
We haven't seen each other for ten years, but Wang Yue seems to be getting younger and younger, looking forward to him and high-spirited.
He is no longer as he was when we first met him, with a stubble on his face and a listless spirit, like a vagabond who has wandered to the end of the world without knowing his way back and is facing a precarious situation.
Of course, the light in his eyes was sharper and sharper than before, which is not the temperament of someone who practices the Sword of Life.
However, ten years ago, he had exchanged sword intention experiences with Xu Yin. The original Fengming Sword Intent had shortcomings in the way of killing. Later, when he established the Cao Gang and established the Tianjian Sect, he understood the way of swordsmanship with his heart and improved Xu Yin's sword intention.
The sword intent of the Absolute Sword has been integrated into the Fengming Sword, so that his martial arts has now reached the level of life and death, surpassing the level of the ancestor who created the Fengming Sword.
Xu Yin didn't care about Wang Yue pushing the door open without permission, and was genuinely happy to see his old friend.
"I knew you would come, and the food and wine are ready."
Wang Yueyue sat across from Xu Yin with his horse and golden sword. He smelled the aroma of the wine and his eyes flashed with brilliance.
"Did you make wine?"
"It costs a lot of food. Liu Shijun has strict control over this aspect. In order to save food, private brewing is prohibited. These are considered my privileges, so I don't have much quantity."
“Then you should cherish it even more and drink it!”
As he spoke, he turned his head and said, "What are you two doing outside? Don't you dare to come see you, Master Xu, if I meet you?"
Immediately after, two disciples, a man and a woman, walked out of the door and were dressed in white. The Tianjian Sect's clothes were still white and embroidered with fish and dragons, making them look simple, elegant and gorgeous.
"Meet Master Xu!"
The two men bowed deeply.
Xu Yin looked at the two of them and smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, please sit down. What do you call your two nephews?"
The male disciple introduced nervously: "Disciple Shi A, I became a disciple of Master in Luoyang many years ago. Later, Master asked me to travel around the world with a sword. I have sharpened my willpower and martial arts. It was only many years later that I heard that Master was in Shu.
The establishment of Tianjian Sect.”
Wang Yue said with a smile: "My disciple has a very high level of understanding. He has obtained seventy percent of my true inheritance. All he needs is the heat. He has done a lot for me in these years."
Xu Yin raised his glass and said, "Come and have a full drink. You should be able to drink well."
Shi A quickly held the cup with both hands and drank first as a token of respect.
After drinking a glass of wine, his face turned red and he said, "This wine is so strong!"
Xu Yin laughed and said: "Why should a strong husband be afraid of strong wine?"
Another female disciple also introduced: "Master Xu, his disciple's name is Chu You. In his early years, he practiced swordsmanship and slaying demons in Mount Emei. Although he was somewhat famous, he never mastered the art of swordsmanship. Fortunately, he encountered the master's teachings and now he has managed to join the family."
Wang Yue said: "Chu You once worshiped an old Taoist from Mount Emei as his teacher. The swordsmanship taught by him is somewhat similar to your martial arts principles, focusing on the cultivation of essence, energy and spirit.
She has rarely cultivated to the innate realm, but she still doesn't know what sword intention is. In fact, I didn't teach her anything, I just showed her your sword technique once, and she understood it on her own."
Chu You said: "It's not as simple as Master said. If I hadn't experienced life and death when slaying the demon, I would not have been able to understand the secret with my talent.
Fortunately, the master was hiding in the dark to take care of me, otherwise even if the disciple realized the meaning of the sword, he would probably have perished with the monster."
Xu Yin also invited Chu You to have a drink, and then asked in surprise: "When did you meet the monster? What kind of monster was it?"
Wang Yue frowned and said: "Six years ago, the common monsters were just mandrills and ghosts, which were not difficult to deal with.
But the monster that Chu You met back then was so violent that it was definitely not from this world!"
Xu Yin frowned slightly, "There were monsters from the Shura realm that invaded six years ago?"
"Asura Realm?"
Xu Yin then discussed the relevant matters with the three of them, "That's probably what happened above. The power of King Shura's only one hand is no small matter.
If the passage between the two worlds is allowed to open, our human world may not be able to describe a catastrophe, it should be said to be the end of the world."
Wang Yue drank a glass of wine with a serious look on his face, "This trip calls us to the Heavenly Sword Sect to kill monsters? But now there are monsters everywhere in the world."
"You see, since I have stayed here for a long time, I should have known that I bet my hope of unifying the world on Ambassador Liu."
Wang Yue nodded slightly, "I entered Guanzhong from Shuzhong, and then came to Jizhou. I passed through several states, but there were frequent wars, people were displaced, and people were in dire straits.
Only here in Jizhou, although it is still devastated after the war, everyone who sees it, whether it is a commoner or a noble family, at least has a goal and knows what they should do.
Perhaps this is the vitality you mentioned before. I believe that within three years of this, Liu Bei will be able to gain a lot of savings and go south to fight for hegemony, which is very likely to happen."
Xu Yin smiled, "Nowadays, the people who have the greatest impact on people's livelihood are no longer the noble families. They have trouble even protecting themselves today.
It’s just the monsters all over the place who are causing trouble to the world and must be eradicated!”
