Chapter 169: Turns out I am a god? Jingji is in a state of agitation again
Jiang Xuan attained enlightenment in Zhushan, but the group of scientists sailing in Yunmengze by boat were not as comfortable as he was.
As the officers guarding the ship repelled another wave of water monkey attacks, a white-haired old man immediately stood next to Stella with an uneasy look on his face:
"Stella, this country is too dangerous."
"While we were in our country, there were often rumors of demons attacking people, but they were just rumors and none of us had ever seen them."
"But what about here?"
"You see, we have been attacked by two waves of demons in just one day today, let alone what we have encountered along the way."
“Can we really do science here safely?”
As the old man finished speaking, the cabin suddenly became lively.
"Yeah, it's really too dangerous here."
"And Stella, is that Taoist priest you mentioned really willing to extend our lives?"
"That's life extension, a treatment that only the royal family can enjoy in our country."
"Yes, will he really extend our lifespan? This is something that only gods can do."
"It's too dangerous here. I want to go back to France."
"I think we should trust Starla. With just one token, he can mobilize so many strong men to escort us along the way. I believe the person who gave him the token must be a big shot."
"Besides, everyone, do we still have a choice?"
Looking at the noisy cabin, Stella, who was originally firm in her choice, also had a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.
After all, the scenes he saw along the way had changed his impression of Daming.
Yujing City was very prosperous, no different from the Kingdom of God in his mind, but when he left Yujing City, he also saw the miserable scene of the people.
"Will he really keep his promise and extend my life?"
"In his eyes, am I just like an ant?"
Recalling the information collected about the Shenxiao Sect, Stella's eyes flashed with panic, and then she strengthened her belief.
"My lord will definitely keep your promise."
Thinking of this, he stood on the high platform, pressed his hands down to signal for silence, and then said loudly:
"My Lord said he would extend your life, so he will extend your life."
"Don't worry, the force you belong to is the most powerful force in the world."
"With his protection, you can study what you want to study without any scruples. You don't have to worry about offending the interests of the church and the royal family, and you don't have to worry about your own safety."
"Here, you will get everything you want."
"Life, wealth, hopes, ideals, everything you want to have will be realized on this land."
Stella gave a speech to her heart's content inside the cabin, while the government officials outside the cabin watched the show.
"Boss, what are they talking about?"
"Who knows?"
"They're just a bunch of bumpkins from foreign countries. I looked at them carefully when they got on the boat. Guess what I found?"
"What?"
The yamen servant next to him looked curious when he heard this.
When the captain of the government office saw that everyone was paying attention to him, he pointed at the people in the cabin:
"Among the hundreds of aliens, not even a single monk has entered the country."
"I don't know why Taoist Master Jiang on Zhushan takes a fancy to these people."
"I would understand if it was Yanma, but most of the people here are gray-haired old people who are dying?"
"Is that person trying to refine some elixir that can extend life and prepare to test the elixir on these dying people?"
"Perhaps, I heard that those heretical and evil Taoist priests like to arrest people to try the elixir. Those who try the elixir will probably be disabled, and one will be injured, two will die, and one will survive."
"Taoist Master Jiang is a righteous monk, so he shouldn't test elixirs on living people, right?"
"They are just Kunlun slaves. I am looking down on them by testing elixirs on them."
Time flies by in all aspects of life, and only three days and nights passed in a short time.
When Jiang Xuan once again broke away from the state of enlightenment, Yao Shui was already waiting by his side.
Seeing Jiang Xuan open his eyes, Yao Shui stepped forward and cupped his fists:
"Sir, the Fanbang people you mentioned have arrived at Longmien Town Pier in the morning."
"According to your instructions, we have sent them to the junction of Cangwu Mountains and Sixi County, and now they are waiting on the remaining section of the embankment."
Jiang Xuan nodded when he heard this, and then he took up the clouds and flew towards the place where the valleys and mountains were connected.
At that time, in order to prevent the raging floods, thirty-six mountains were uprooted, and Lu Wanjiang used these thirty-six mountains to build two dams more than 300 miles long on both sides of the Qingshui River.
During this time, in order to prevent the dams from affecting the ground veins and to facilitate people's access, the two dams in Sixi County have long been demolished, leaving only the two V-shaped dams within the boundaries of Cangwu Mountain.
Standing there.
The area covered by the two dykes, which is the flat land vacated by the Lianshan clan after pulling out the mountain, is where Jiang Xuan plans to place these scientists.
He plans to build a city here, a city dedicated to the development of science and technology.
Her thoughts landed on the embankment, and Stella immediately bent over and stood in front of Jiang Xuan:
"Sir, you are here."
After looking at Stella and then at the foreigners standing cautiously on the city wall, Jiang Xuan nodded:
"How many people came this time?"
Stella immediately replied after hearing this, "This time I brought a total of 109 scientists."
"It's just that our country is far away from the Ming Dynasty. Most of these scientists are older, so some died on the way. There are still 86 scientists left here."
"Others are relatives of these scientists."
"By the way, sir, the scientists I invited this time are all older. I told them that you have a way to extend their lives."
Seeing the expectant looks in the eyes of those old people, Jiang Xuan took out ten Yang Pearls after hesitating for a moment.
He now has many things at his disposal that can extend his life.
Yang Pearl, Heaven-Stealing Secret, Heaven-Building Pill, Life-Sustaining Grass
After much calculation, Yangzhu is the most suitable for the current situation.
Feeling the increasingly heated emotions among the people after he took out the Yang Pearl, Jiang Xuan smiled and crushed the Yang Pearl in his hand into powder.
Then strands of golden light came out from Jiang Xuan's hand, turning into dotted light strips and falling on the white-haired old people who were short of time.
After a while, the golden light dissipated, and the old people's white hair turned golden, the wrinkles on their faces disappeared, and they returned to their middle-aged appearance.
It has to be said that the effect of Yang Qi on ordinary people is indeed outstanding.
Looking at the crowd of people who were exuding incredible and extremely excited emotions and were about to fall into a carnival, Jiang Xuan frowned and snapped his fingers.
The magical power came out with the snap of fingers, causing the extremely excited foreigners to involuntarily cast their eyes on Jiang Xuan.
"Remember, I can give you life, and nature can also take away your life."
Looking at the crowd who didn't stop for a moment, Jiang Xuan pointed at a tall figure in the crowd with an expressionless face.
The next moment, the vitality in the figure was instantly drained, the golden hair became as dry as straw, and the strong figure became as thin as a bone.
"Tell me why you came here."
"Secretly stealing the orthodox cultivation techniques and passing them on to the great French royal family."
A hoarse and desperate voice came from the mouth of the thin figure.
He didn't want to say it, but he couldn't control himself.
"Sure enough, everything the commander said before coming here is right."
"This land is controlled by the gods. If I come here, I will die without life."
The last thought in his mind fell, and he reviewed his life like a horse. He closed his eyes, fell heavily on the embankment, and fell into complete darkness.
He casually burned the withered corpse to ashes, and then extinguished its ashes into smoke. Feeling the fear emanating from the others, Jiang Xuan showed an amiable smile:
"You don't have to show this kind of expression. If you don't feel right for me and if you radiate malice toward the land I stand on, I'm still easy to get along with."
"Do you feel your young and healthy body now?"
"Serve me well and work hard on science and technology. I don't mind letting you live for hundreds or thousands of years, or even live as long as heaven and earth."
"It's not even just you."
"As long as you do well enough, your wives and children can enjoy the same treatment as you."
Feeling the enthusiasm gradually overpowering the fear, Jiang Xuan nodded with satisfaction and flew into the air on the clouds. He raised his hands to his sides and formed a cross shape:
"Now, let's build a place for you to live and do research."
After saying this, a violent tremor suddenly spread from the ground to the embankment, making the foreigners couldn't help but grab the stone fence on the side facing Cangwu Mountain.
As for why they invariably grab the fence in this direction?
Jiang Xuan smiled and said nothing.
As the foreigners grabbed the fence, a scene they would never forget appeared before their eyes.
During the shaking, bottomless cracks suddenly appeared on the earth.
As their terrified screams rang out, smooth walls suddenly rose up from the cracks.
The frightened screams stopped abruptly, and while they were still puzzled by this, the walls began to close again.
In an instant, wide and straight avenues appeared on the land of nearly a thousand square kilometers, and houses more than ten meters high were built with white jade walls and colored glass windows.
Jiang Xuan looked back at the foreigner with a look of disbelief on his face, and then waved his hand again.
Amidst the rumbling sound, another city wall with a height of two hundred meters, enough for ten horses to run parallel, rose up, completely surrounding the city that had just risen from the ground, leaving only gaps at both ends of the Qingshui River.
Riding the clouds, he led a group of trembling foreigners to the city. As soon as he landed, Jiang Xuan suddenly frowned and looked at one of the people in the team.
As Jiang Xuan laid his eyes on him, the man immediately knelt down on his knees and bowed down towards Jiang Xuan:
"Great God, your devout believer Heris is here to offer you his devout faith."
As the man knelt on the ground, the remaining people looked at each other and showed a hint of understanding, and then they also knelt on the ground to express their devotion.
Feeling the incense and faith emanating from these people, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He just wanted to show off and tell these guys not to think about having anything but nothing, and to just calm down and work for him. Why did he suddenly become their belief?
Are modern Westerners so easy to fool?
These are scientists!
It's really hard to do.
Jiang Xuan helped these people up casually, and then pointed his finger at them.
Then, hundreds of spiritual lights followed his fingertips and landed on their eyebrows.
After waiting for them to receive the information, Jiang Xuan said:
"From today on, wear Chinese clothes, speak Chinese, perform Chinese rituals, and take Chinese names."
"Yes, my lord."
Looking at the "believers" who were kneeling on the ground, grabbing the ground with their heads, and shouting fanatical words in unison, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but tap his temple.
I don’t know if these guys will weaken their scientific research capabilities after they regard themselves as their beliefs.
Probably not?
If you are religious, you should work harder to fulfill the orders given by the gods.
As his thoughts swirled in his mind, Jiang Xuan sent a message to Yaoshui.
Then he didn't say much, and took Stella directly away from the city he had created with the help of the power of the formation.
After watching Jiang Xuan leave, Yaoshui immediately looked at the blond foreigners:
"Your Majesty has an order. From now on, we will continue to study your so-called science. If you have any needs, you can ask me. I will meet all your requests."
"I obey my Lord's oracle."
After responding, those people stood up one after another, walked to Yaoshui and began to express their needs.
Taking Stella back to Zhushan, feeling the awe that Stella exuded towards him, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but nod secretly.
Just don’t think of yourself as a god.
Even though his combat power was inhuman, Jiang Xuan never wanted to transcend the concept of human beings.
If someone puts devout faith in himself, he will only feel uncomfortable.
"It took more than half a year to bring a group of people back. To be honest, the efficiency is a bit low."
After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, Stella suddenly trembled.
"Sir, I am not you, and I have no ability to enter and leave Qingming."
"One trip back and forth in a few months is already the fastest I can do."
"After all, taking a boat is not as fast as flying. I still have to go to various places to find scientists. I have really tried my best."
Looking at Stella who was exuding panic, Jiang Xuan nodded in understanding:
"I know you have tried your best, so I am just telling the facts and do not mean to blame you."
Having said this, Jiang Xuan first took a Yang Pearl and handed it to Stella:
"This is the life-extending thing I promised you."
"Wearing it close to your body will be enough to extend your life for a hundred years."
When Stella heard this, she quickly waved her hand:
"Sir, I only brought 86 scientists this time, not a hundred."
Although she was jealous of the Yang Pearl in Jiang Xuan's hand, Stella knew what she could and couldn't take.
For example, the Yang Pearl in Jiang Xuan's hand was one of the things he couldn't take.
"Just take it if I tell you to."
Jiang Xuan casually threw the Yang Zhu to him.
"Things that seem extremely precious to you are just random things to me."
"As long as you work hard to help me, that's what you should get, and I will give it to you every cent."
Recalling the promise Jiang Xuan made when he was in Jade City, Stella couldn't help but have a glimmer of fire in her eyes:
"Sir, I will faithfully fulfill every order you have."
"This time when I go back, I will definitely bring back more scientists for you."
Seeing Stella beating herself up, Jiang Xuan smiled and said:
"There is no rush to go back this time."
"I have something to do recently. When it's done, I'll have someone fly you back."
A hundred scientists traveling back and forth is indeed quite a lot.
But if you want to say too much, it's not much.
It takes almost a year to go back and forth, and only 1,800 scientists can be brought back in ten years. What is the use of such a few people?
So Jiang Xuan was going to call someone to fly over to purchase the goods.
As for the candidates?
His first choice was actually Yang Wei.
Yang Wei has cultivated the magical power of "Red Dust". If he goes to buy goods from outside, he will be sure to get it right.
It's just that last year, he observed the lotus on Zhushan Mountain and realized Taoism. He learned that there were nine-color lotus on Zhushan Mountain, and then he was directly dragged back to the mountain gate by the Shenxiao sect to practice. He didn't know if the mountain gate was willing to let him go.
"If it doesn't work, let the master send someone."
"Well, when those who go to buy goods come back, they will be rewarded with the opportunity to observe the lotus and enlightenment on July 15th. After knowing this reward, those monks in the mountain gate who are trapped in the magic realm and Yunshen realm will definitely be extremely willing to go."
"After all, my master's example of Guan Lian enlightening and breaking through to the realm of supernatural powers is before us."
While his thoughts were spinning, Jiang Xuan chatted with Stella some more, and then sent his soldiers to take him back.
Not long after Stella left, Yao Shui appeared beside Jiang Xuan.
"Tell me what conditions those foreigners put forward."
Yaoshui suddenly showed a strange expression when he heard this:
"Sir, most of those people's requests are relatively easy to meet, but there are a few conditions that I don't know whether I should agree to or not."
Jiang Xuan showed a curious expression when he heard this:
"Tell me about those requirements."
Yaoshui nodded, and then told those people's requests one by one.
"First, they want to build your statue and temple in the city you built. The statue must be three hundred meters high. In addition to enshrining you, the temple must also enshrine me, the 'god's envoy'."
Seeing the helpless smile on Jiang Xuan's face, Yaoshui paused and continued:
"Second, they want to bring over some relatives who have stayed in their hometown, saying they want to bask in your divine grace."
"Third, they said that since you require them to wear Chinese clothes, speak Chinese, perform Chinese etiquette, and take Chinese names, it is better to change their appearance to that of Han people,"
"Fourth, we can't provide some of the things they said, and we may need to find a refiner to refine them."
Seeing Yao Shui stop talking, Jiang Xuan thought for a while and said:
"The first, second and fourth requirements can satisfy them, but the third requirement can set a threshold."
"Whenever you create technological creations that satisfy me, I will change their appearance."
"only."
"Go down and arrange a few Yao soldiers to guard the new city. Don't let those people suffer."
"only."
Seeing Yao Shui turn around and leave, Jiang Xuan was very quiet and thoughtful.
It's July 15th soon.
When the cave sky reappears, there will definitely be a war in Yunmengze.
And it's almost time for me to set up my formation.
