Chapter 148 Dividing the troops and deploying generals to return to Sixi County
Chapter 148: Divide the troops and deploy generals, return to Sixi County
The mountains were lonely, but Jiang Xuan's heart was filled with excitement.
No wonder his silly third brother always likes to talk about dispatching troops and generals, being the first to capture the flag, sealing the wolf as his vassal, and drinking from the vast sea of horses.
The feeling of everyone responding in unison to this order, and the generals rushing to rush after waving the flag is truly fascinating.
Even with his heart racing, Jiang Xuan did not forget the purpose of this visit.
With a wave of his sleeves, he led five hundred and five Yao soldiers to Zhushan, and then took out a jade slip and handed it to Yao Tu:
"Currently, there are 332 places where the earth veins are blocked in Sixi County, and there are 3,796 places where the air of the earth veins flows obscurely. The jade slip I gave you contains the method of clearing and directing the earth veins, 7
Is it feasible to dredge all the ground veins in Sixi County before the month?"
As soon as Jiang Xuan finished speaking, Yao Tu, who took the jade slip and explored it, suddenly showed a troubled expression:
"Sir, I want to accept your order, but I know better that with the current strength of Tuyao soldiers, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete your mission."
Looking at Yao Tu with a troubled face, Jiang Xuan nodded with satisfaction:
“It’s good to act with self-awareness.”
"I would only be dissatisfied if you really agreed to this."
After saying that, Jiang Xuan used his true energy to hold up a small black flag and sent it to Yao Tu:
"This is the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. There are five thousand evil ghosts in the banner. Under Pindao's teachings, they have all learned the art of earth control and transportation. Can they do it now?"
"able."
"The last general takes orders."
Looking at Yao Tu who nodded and cupped his fists to accept the order, Jiang Xuan nodded:
"After we come down from the mountain, use the banner of Shenxiao Sect to avoid getting into trouble."
"Many houses need to be demolished when clearing the ground. After demolishing the houses, remember to be nearby, or according to the people's requirements, gather earth and stone to build them new houses."
"The new house cannot be smaller than the old house. It needs to be stronger. In addition, furniture and other items must be moved intact to the new house for the people."
"But if the people's demands are unreasonable, don't worry about them."
"If you encounter an ancestral hall during demolition, then discuss it with the local village elders, but discussion is a discussion, and it must be demolished if it should be demolished. Just tell them the interests."
"If you encounter forced resistance, there is no need to fight against them. Send someone to tell me and I will send someone to your door."
As Jiang Xuan's order came down, Yao Tu immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order:
"only."
Seeing this, Jiang Xuan handed another jade slip to Yao Shui:
"You take the water soldiers to clean up the Qingshui River bed and the evil spirits."
"Any evil spirits who have harmed anyone will be killed. The silt under the river bed will be cleaned up and piled on the bank so that it can be used later."
"As for the depth of river bed cleaning, just clean up the silt five meters deep under the river bed."
"In addition, the jade slips also record where the Qingshui River should be widened and deepened. All should be done according to the jade slips, and there should be no omissions."
"After cleaning up the Qingshui River, we will connect various underground rivers."
"But underground rivers are serious problems, so you need to walk slowly and ask me in time when you encounter areas where you are unsure."
"only."
After Yaoshui cupped his fists and accepted the order, Jiang Xuan took out a stack of talismans and a blank jade slip and handed them to Yaomu:
"The jade slips I gave Yaotu only marked the known places with stagnation of earth veins and obscure places. No one knows how many places with stagnation of earth veins there are in the deep mountains and old forests."
"So I need to explore all the deep mountains and old forests in Sixi County. If I encounter stagnation or obscure places, I will record them and submit them to me every morning."
"If you encounter an evil spirit that has harmed others, you will kill it as well."
"In case the evil spirit is fierce, you can either use the "Shenxiao Thunder Talisman" or use the transmission talisman to send a message to me."
"As for the spiritual beasts and monsters, just mark them."
"only."
Yao Mu took the talisman and the jade slip, and also clasped his fists to accept the order.
Finally, Jiang Xuan turned his attention to Yao Huo and Yao Jin:
"Three soldiers, Tu Yao, Shui Yao, and Mu Yao, are attacking the mountain. You two will accompany me to attack the temple."
Yao Huo and Yao Jin looked at each other and smiled after receiving their orders.
Because of their own attributes, Fire Yao Soldiers and Metal Yao Soldiers are much more explosive than the other three.
Going to destroy the temple is exactly what they want.
"So, let's go and do our own thing."
As Jiang Xuan's order came down, Tu, Shui and Mu Yao bowed to him and then went down the mountain first.
Hundreds of Mu Yao soldiers were divided into ten teams and went straight to the deep mountains and forests in Sixi County.
Shui Yao went all the way up the Qingshui River, and after arriving at the place designated by Jiang Xuan, he began to clean up the mud under the river bed.
Tu Yao started to channel the power of the earth's veins, centered at the foot of Zhushan Mountain.
Well, to put it more loftily, it is to channel the power of earth veins, and to put it more simply, it is to build roads.
The main road is a broad avenue ten meters wide, filled with earth and stone, and composed of spells.
The width of the auxiliary roads varies depending on the location.
This is a method Jiang Xuan learned from the Heavenly Road inside and outside Yujing City.
After deducing the map of Shenzhou, Jiang Xuan discovered that the criss-crossing sky roads inside and outside Yujing City were actually formed by the Shangjing Prefecture's terrestrial veins.
That is to say, someone used great magic power to connect the earth veins of Shangjing Mansion into a whole, and then revealed them so that people can directly use the power of the earth veins.
What is the use of the power of earth veins?
One step on the heavenly road can span a distance of a hundred feet, which is one of the functions of the power of earth veins.
In addition, the farmland outside Yujing City is also fertile due to the power of the earth's veins.
If there is a war, the power of the earth's veins can be gathered and used against the enemy.
The benefits are simply not too many.
Of course, Jiang Xuan's method of dredging the earth's veins is definitely different from the capital's method of controlling the earth's veins.
He didn't know how the capital controlled the earth's veins. He only knew that his method of channeling the earth's veins was to channel it according to the formation method.
With the "Oriental Green Dragon Formation" as the core, the scattered ground connections throughout Sixi County are connected together.
The most important node is where the Jiaomujiao, Kangjinlong and other Eastern Seven Constellations are located.
Next, use Pingdao, Tiantian, Zhouding and others to take charge of the remaining 41 places.
Thirdly, it is assumed that the position of the Star God penetrates the depressed place.
In short, the stars are the soul, the earth veins are the bones, the Qingshui River and the streams everywhere are the meridians and blood vessels, the earth is the skin and flesh, and the endless creatures on the ground are the scales, together we build an "Oriental Green Dragon Formation" that covers the entire Sixi County.
If the formation is completed, the remaining 27% of scattered earth vein power and water vein power that no one has ever thought about in Sixi County will be under Jiang Xuan's control.
Then he can use the power of the formations of earth veins to snatch the power of the earth veins from the hands of the City God.
In addition, after forming a formation, he can also actively convert the power of earth veins, water veins, and the power of stars in the sky into Yimu spiritual energy.
It can not only make Sixi County rich in vegetation and greatly increase its output, but also increase the probability of the appearance of various spiritual plants and elixirs. It can also greatly increase the efficiency of monks in breathing spiritual energy, so that evil spirits have nowhere to hide.
All in all, if the formation can really be achieved, the benefits will be countless.
Of course, the premise is to form a formation.
If Jiang Xuan is allowed to set up the formation alone, the probability of forming the formation is almost zero. Even if the formation is completed, others will pick the fruit without absolute strength.
But now that he has the Shenxiao sect as his backing, the probability of forming an formation has reached 90%. Once the formation is formed, there is no need to worry about anyone missing him.
The remaining 10% was because he was afraid that his calculations would be wrong and the formation would fail due to changes in the earth's veins.
Watching the Tu Yao soldiers go away, Jiang Xuan then took out a white cloud that looked like a marshmallow from the storage space.
As the saying goes, if the realm is not enough, magical powers can be used to make up for it. If magical powers are not enough, magical weapons can be used to make up for it.
Jiang Xuan can't fly, which is normal at best. After all, normal Xiantian realm monks can't fly.
But when it comes to the big picture, it's out of character.
His subordinates are flying majestically in the sky, but he, the one who calls the shots, is panting and running on the ground. How much is the price?
So in order to maintain his face, he shamelessly asked his uncle for a cloud-riding magic weapon, which is the cloud he took out now.
As soon as he thought, the cloud expanded to ten square meters. After Jiang Xuan stood up and faced the remaining fire, the two teams of Jin and Yao soldiers waved:
"First follow Pindao into the county town."
"only."
When entering the city, there is naturally something to say.
Sending earthly soldiers to unblock the earth's veins is no small matter.
Once the land lines begin to be dredged, many people's fertile fields and houses will be buried and torn down.
Although Jiang Xuan has made a compensation plan, it is still a private act and is somewhat unfair.
Although the Ming Dynasty had lost control of the local area, Jiang Xuan wanted to lose face, so it was still necessary to ask the county government for a piece of paper.
In addition, he also needs the county to send troops to attack the temple together.
Yao soldiers are indeed stronger than county soldiers, but strong here only refers to the strength of a single unit.
Sixi County has 800 county soldiers, including 720 soldiers in the first realm, 70 in the second realm, and 10 in the third realm. Together with the county captain Yang Ting, a fourth realm soldier, he can be called one of them.
Elite.
Among the 202 fire and gold soldiers in Jiang Xuan's hands, although there are twenty-seven of the third-level heavenly soldiers, the rest are all second-level heavenly soldiers.
But if the Yao soldiers collided with the county soldiers who formed the military formation, even if Yang Ting did not join the military formation, it would still be the result of an egg hitting a stone and breaking into pieces.
Therefore, Jiang Xuan needed county soldiers to practice military formations in front of Yao Bing.
"Star Fiend's Military Technique" can be used by human soldiers, and naturally it can also be used by Five Light Heavenly Soldiers who directly cultivate the power of the stars.
He wanted the Yao soldiers to observe and learn the fighting methods of the human soldiers. He didn't need to follow the instructions and learn everything. He would be satisfied if he could learn one or two points of the essence.
Thoughts were swirling in his mind, but it didn't take much time for Jiang Xuan to arrive in front of the county government office with two hundred and fifty soldiers.
As his feet landed on the ground, the entire county began to become lively because of his arrival.
"Mother, are they heavenly soldiers and generals?"
There is a child holding the woman's hand, with the candied haws in his hand like a very attractive Five-Yao Heavenly Soldier:
"When I grow up, I want to be a soldier."
Another beggar sat slumped in the shadow of the corner, staring at Jiang Xuan with a gleam in his eyes.
There was also an acrobatic man who put down his weapons after seeing this, apologized and started packing his things.
At the camp in the east of the city, scouts rushed in and entered the general's tent.
In the Taoist temple, a child entered the quiet room, and then a Taoist man came out with a cloud.
In the liberal arts academy, Dan Qiusheng called Jiang Wen in front of him, with complicated eyes.
Some families in the city also held a meeting to discuss how to deal with the changing situation in the county.
………
Naturally, Jiang Xuan cannot know everything that happens everywhere in the city.
Standing in front of the county government office, he only heard the child's words about wanting to be a soldier, and then turned his head and smiled at him:
"It's not that easy to be a heavenly soldier."
The child didn't say a word, but shyly buried her head in her mother's arms.
Jiang Xuan nodded to the slightly flustered woman and said there was no need to panic. Jiang Xuan then led the Yamen servant to the backyard of the Yamen government office with a nod and bow.
As for the Wu Yao soldiers, they are still guarding the gate of the county government office.
"Taoist Priest, do you have anything to tell me?"
Before he even reached the backyard, the new county magistrate, who had only been in office for five days, hurried to Jiang Xuan.
Looking at Fang Yuan trotting up in front of him, Jiang Xuan nodded:
"There is indeed something that requires the county magistrate's help."
Fangyuan was arranged by the Shenxiao sect to come to Sixi County. On the first day he took office, he went to Zhushan to see Jiang Xuan, saying that he would respond to Jiang Xuan's requests.
So Jiang Xuan was not polite to him and directly stated his intention:
"As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, build roads first."
"Sixi County is surrounded by mountains and swamps, making it extremely difficult for outsiders to get in."
"In addition, the roads between counties, towns, and villages are mostly muddy trails, so it's natural that you can't get rich."
"I am very restless and want to help the county build some roads. What do you think of Magistrate Fang?"
Fangyuan nodded immediately:
"It's a good thing that the Taoist priest is willing to help the county build roads."
"Xiaguan will issue an official document and notify the entire county, asking all villages and towns to fully cooperate with the Taoist priest in building roads."
"If someone is dishonest, he will be taken directly to jail."
Jiang Xuan waved his hand after hearing this:
"There is no need to go to jail. Just let all localities cooperate as much as possible."
"It is best if the official document is distributed throughout the county within one day. Pindao's Taoist soldiers have already started building roads in Lingtai Town."
Fangyuan agreed again, then glanced at the monk falling from the sky beside him, said goodbye and then retreated.
As soon as he left, the monk wearing Shenxiao's robe approached Jiang Xuan with a curious look on his face:
"Uncle Master, I feel the power of earth elements surging in the north, the power of water elements raging on the Qingshui River, and ten groups of Taoist soldiers containing the power of wood elements flying out from your bamboo mountain."
"Coupled with the two teams of rampant soldiers at the door who were transformed into Taoist soldiers by you, are you preparing for a big move?"
Looking at Zhao Mingming who was full of curiosity, Jiang Xuan nodded and did not deny it.
Zhao Mingming is the disciple of his great uncle Li Shouxian. His original name is Zhao Ming. He is a disciple of the 53rd Ming generation of the Shenxiao sect, so he is called Zhao Mingming.
He has Daoji realm cultivation and was arranged to take over the Taoist temple in Sixi County and cooperate with Jiang Xuan.
Nowadays, many departments in Sixi County, including the county captain and the dean of the Academy of Arts, have not been replaced, and the rest have been replaced by their own people.
As for the county captain, that's because the county captain Yang Ting is Yang Wei's nephew. With Yang Wei joining the Shenxiao sect, Yang Ting can be regarded as half of his own.
As for the remaining liberal arts schools, they probably have some secret deal with the Tiandi Academy.
Jiang Xuan didn't ask, after all, that wasn't what he should care about.
He only knows what he wants to do, as long as no one in Sixi County comes to stop him.
"Uncle Master, what big move are you planning to make?"
Zhao Mingming's voice reached Jiang Xuan's ears while he was thinking, and Jiang Xuan used the "Soil Control Technique" to extract a piece of earth and stone from the ground, and used the earth and stone to cloth the entire Sixi County sand table on the stone table in the pavilion, and then placed it on the sand table.
Nine red dots were clicked:
"I had nothing to do during this period, so I walked around the earth's veins and found that there were people in the county who worshiped ghosts and gods and stole the power of the earth's veins."
"It's okay to use ordinary means to control the earth veins. After all, there is no owner of the earth veins. Whoever can grab it belongs to whomever."
"But those who worship ghosts and gods in obscene ways should be killed."
When Zhao Mingming heard this, he showed a look of approval:
"Those who worship ghosts and gods for obscenity should indeed be killed."
"Uncle, why don't you let your nephew take action and kill these evil gods directly?"
Jiang Xuan was speechless upon hearing this.
If he was really in a hurry to kill, he would have already blasted past with the Thunder Talisman of Shenxiao. How could there be so many things?
"Of the nine obscene priests, three will be handed over to the county soldiers, and the remaining six will be handed over to my Five-Yao soldiers."
"We can raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while. County soldiers and Five-Yao soldiers like me can't just raise them and do nothing, right?"
"Then uncle, what should I do?"
Zhao Mingming said that his thunder method was already thirsty.
"Just help us plunder the formation."
"Well, by the way, help me inform Yang Ting to order his troops and prepare to attack the temple."
"Also, on February 2nd, I want the dragon to walk down the Qingshui River. By then, the earth's energy will be chaotic. You should inform the towns to take precautions and don't let evil spirits take the opportunity to harm people."
"By the way, all the villages within ten miles of the river had to be relocated that day, and temporary dams had to be built at mountain cols and other places to prevent floods from occurring if I failed to control the situation."
While pointing to the sand table, Jiang Xuan explained the next matters. After a while, he looked at Zhao Mingming:
"Do you know what to do next?"
Zhao Mingming stared at the sand table and nodded:
"I understand, uncle."
After responding, he smiled again:
"Uncle Master, I will call on the manpower to arrange these things. If there are not enough manpower, I will call on my friends."
At this point, he became coy again.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Xuan understood clearly:
"If I remember correctly, you have been stuck in the Daoji realm for quite some time, right?"
Zhao Mingming nodded crazily:
"It's been almost seventeen years."
"If I hadn't understood the "Taixiao Divine Thunder" insufficiently and couldn't engrave it on the Taoist foundation, based on my accumulation, I would have been able to break through to the magic realm five years ago."
Recalling what the fifth uncle Yang Shoutian had said to him, Jiang Xuan pondered for a while and then said:
"You should know that there is a Lotus of Enlightenment on my mountain. If nothing goes wrong this time, then there will be a place for you to watch the Lotus and Enlightenment on July 15th."
Zhao Mingming was overjoyed when he heard this. He bowed to Jiang Xuan and thanked him, "Thank you, uncle. I will contact Lieutenant Yang to arrange the following matters."
When Jiang Xuan saw this, he just waved his hand.
In his plan, the opportunity of enlightenment on July 15th every year was reserved for these close people.
Although Jiu Se Lian's chance of enlightenment is miraculous, he has a golden finger to cheat him. To achieve enlightenment, it is just a matter of spreading a few more bags of fertilizer.
Giving this opportunity to people close to you can not only improve their strength, but also bring them closer to each other. Why not?
It's just that Jiang Xuan didn't want the opportunity to appear too cheap, so he made the above request.
"The third uncle and the fourth uncle are still stuck in the magic realm. Maybe we can invite them to come to Zhushan to enlightenment on July 15th."
"But there are so many spiritual plants on Zhushan, and the elixir has to be explained in a way."
"It's not that there were no spiritual fields in the Ming Dynasty, but the spiritual fields of the daimyo are more like land with abundant spiritual energy, which cannot be compared with the fertile fields on the top of the mountain."
As thoughts swirled in his mind, Jiang Xuan suddenly noticed an astonishing evil aura coming towards him.
Looking up, didn't Yang Ting walk into the backyard of the county government?
