Chapter 250 The Blood Gu Cult appears! Sudden turmoil!
When Fan Wu came to another city, he found that he seemed to have really become a big celebrity in the Shangwu Dynasty. Logically speaking, such news that would have an extremely negative impact on the Shangwu Dynasty should not spread throughout the entire dynasty.
. After all, the news that the tens of thousands of troops of the Shangwu Dynasty were defeated by one person, wouldn't it be very glorious to tell it? But the court of this dynasty did not curb the spread of such news.
This has led to... Fan Wu has become famous in this dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a phenomenal celebrity. Of course, most people only know... There are some rumors about Fan Wu's deeds, but they don't know much about it.
Knowing what Fan Wu looks like is a blessing among misfortunes. Otherwise, I don't know how many stares he will receive. Even if Fan Wu doesn't mind these stares, he doesn't want to be looked at like a monkey.
Fortunately, now he has two brothers, Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu, to help him attract attention. After all, these two brothers...are three meters tall, which is very eye-catching. Fan Wu was able to notice many people on the road when he was walking on the road.
Everyone looked at the two brothers with shocked eyes. Maybe I was in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Yan Dynasty, and others looked at me the same way!
The county town that Fan Wu came to now... Oh, that's not quite right, because this is not a county town, but a real big city. The big city he came to is called "Yingtian City". The size of a city like this
It is huge, not inferior to the imperial city of the Zhou Dynasty. Looking at it, it is bustling and crowded. If someone accidentally falls here, I am afraid that it will cause a stampede accident.
"None of you have been to Yingtian City?" Yun Jiuqing made a curious voice. Her question was obviously meant for Yan Dalong, Yan Dahu, and Bai Sheng. Because among their group, there are also
Only these three people are natives of the Shangwu Dynasty. Yun Jiuqing, Fan Wu, Xing Fengzi, and even Tianji Coffin, Lao Qingniu... all come from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they don't know much about this dynasty.
Let alone come here.
Yan Dahu, who was arranging his beard roughly as he walked forward, shouted in a loud voice: "When we two brothers came here, we didn't dare to pass by such a big city, because there are many powerful guys in such a big city.
And the garrison of such a big city is probably no less than 100,000 people. If we pass by such a place, we will definitely be besieged by them. However, this time is different, this time Brother Fan Wu is here!"
When Fan Wu was mentioned, Yan Dahu was very excited: "With Brother Fan Wu here, even if we are surrounded by 100,000 people, so what? I am still looking forward to them surrounding us. I haven't yet. We will be surrounded by 100,000 people."
We've been surrounded! Those officials in Yingtian City will come to arrest us if they dare! If they dare to come to arrest us, I respect them as men. If they don't dare to come, then they are a bunch of cowards!
"
"I have never been here either. But I have heard of Yingtian City, because such a city is very famous among the huge Shangwu Dynasty." The person speaking at this moment was clearly Bai Sheng.
Listen to him continue: "If you don't count the imperial city of the Shangwu Dynasty, then...such a city can be considered...in the top ten of the entire Shangwu Dynasty, right?"
"Apart from the Imperial City, what other city can be ranked in the top ten?" Hearing Bai Sheng's words, Yun Jiuqing suddenly realized: "No wonder this city looks so big. The people inside
So many. How many people are there in Yingtian City? How many people are there in the imperial city of the Shangwu Dynasty?"
She asked such a question purely out of curiosity. Facing Yun Jiuqing's curiosity, Bai Sheng patiently explained: "I heard... the population of Yingtian City is about seven million.
, if some floating population is included, there would probably be nearly 8 million people. And the population of the imperial city of the Shangwu Dynasty was more than 30 million people."
"What? How many?" After hearing the other party's explanation and answer, Yun Jiuqing was stunned. Because such a large population is true, it is a bit beyond her imagination. In Yun Jiuqing's impression, even if
It was the imperial city of their Great Zhou Dynasty, and it didn’t have a population of around 8 million, right? Let alone a population of more than 30 million!
The total population of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty did not exceed 10 million people. However, in the Shang-Wu Dynasty, the population of one imperial city alone accounted for half of the population of the Great Zhou Dynasty? What a huge imperial city it was.
, can it accommodate such a large population? Yun Jiuqing can no longer imagine it, because it has already touched her knowledge blind spot.
"My dear...one city...has such a large population!" Yun Jiuqing couldn't help but exclaimed: "I heard that in some smaller dynasties, the total population of the entire dynasty is only a few hundred thousand, or a few.
Millions of people. The population of Yingtian City is comparable to that of a dynasty. No wonder the Shangwu Dynasty is the most powerful in this large area."
Just having a large population may not represent the true strength of a dynasty. But once a dynasty not only has a large population, but also has a very prosperous business, a very strong military strength, and a large number of monks... then...
If a dynasty is not a great country, then what other dynasty dares to call itself a great country?
"Fortunately, there is a huge strait between the Shangwu Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as the Great Yan Dynasty. Otherwise, with such a powerful neighbor next to it, wouldn't it mean that no one in the dynasty could be stable?
Sleeping?" Yun Jiuqing said to himself, Didi Gugu: "Especially those who are officials and those in the royal family."
"Xiao Dao, I think this is actually not certain." Xing Fengzi suddenly interjected: "If the Zhou Dynasty is willing to pay a pension to the Shang Wu Dynasty, there shouldn't be any problem, right? Shang Wu
The dynasty...should give certain protection to the dynasty that pays the taxes, right? It's impossible to do nothing just for money, right?"
"It will indeed provide certain protection." Bai Sheng smiled and replied: "But this little Taoist priest, don't take this kind of family and country affairs too lightly. Everything has a price, let alone two dynasties.
There are some interest disputes. The Shangwu Dynasty will indeed provide protection to the dynasty that pays the pension. The price is that dynasty, and the troops of the Shangwu Dynasty must be stationed in it. "
"Although I am also from the Shangwu Dynasty, I have to say... As long as you are a normal emperor, you don't want garrison troops from other dynasties to appear in your own dynasty, right? If your own dynasty has troops from other dynasties,
Garrison, what is the surname of this dynasty? What if the garrison of another dynasty suddenly gets into trouble?"
When Bai Sheng said these words, his perspective was relatively neutral and objective: "It's like if a group of monks came to your Taoist temple, Taoist Priest Xiao. This group of monks, the strength of the temple they are in,
They are much more powerful than your Taoist temple. They are stationed in your Taoist temple, and their words and deeds will even affect your upside-down pilgrims."
Bai Sheng raised a very fatal question: "So at this time, in your eyes, little Taoist priest, are these monks good or bad? What if they openly and honestly promote Buddhism in your Taoist temple? Even,
Are you still slandering the Taoist gods in your Taoist temple? And you are still openly bullying men and dominating women in your Taoist temple?"
"Uh..." Xing Fengzi didn't know what to say, because he imagined such a scene in his mind, and his fists almost became hard. Even though he is a little Taoist priest who is usually relatively simple-minded and aloof, he has a certain kind of attitude and is indifferent to the world.
attitude. But in my heart, after all, there are several bottom lines.
For example, he couldn't accept...that a group of monks like this would appear in their Earth Ancestor Temple. If one day such a group of monks appeared in the Earth Ancestor Temple, he, a little Taoist priest who lives in peace with the world, would probably be
He had murderous intentions! Then, Xing Fengzi also suddenly realized that he understood.
"I've learned a lesson!" Xing Fengzi said seriously and gave Bai Sheng a Taoist gift. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was worthy of being the proud son of the business dynasty. A few short words could make him a little bit more confident.
Enlightenment. It also allowed him, a little Taoist priest who rarely had contact with the world, to realize something.
"Little Taoist Priest, you are not deeply involved in the world, so it is quite normal that you don't know these things." Bai Sheng smiled and said: "When you wander in this secular world for a few more years, you will know a lot of truths. I was thinking.
I was just like you back then, and later in the Shangwu Dynasty, I traveled around for several years."
"During this period, I have seen the shortcomings of the world, the joys of the world, and even the sorrows of the world. Things that I have personally seen and heard are mixed together, and sometimes I even intervene in them. In this way, it only takes a short time
A few years can make a person who is not deeply involved in the world grow up."
"Tsk... You, the children of big families, do things and say things in the same way." Yan Dalong, who was walking in front, tutted without looking back: "This is a small Taoist business in Fengzi.
Obviously, he just hasn't grown up yet. When he grows up, he will understand!"
Yan Dalong spoke straightforwardly, and this is indeed the case. After all... Xing Fengzi is actually not over eighteen years old, he only looks like he is sixteen or seventeen years old. In addition... he has been staying in a Taoist temple before.
, and have never gone down the mountain. So sometimes, my thoughts are a little naive.
Just when a few people were walking and chatting on the road, suddenly, there seemed to be a strange commotion ahead. In front, someone seemed to be beating gongs and drums. The sound of horseshoes trampling on the bluestone could also be heard. More
You can hear the sound of wooden wheels rolling.
Of course, the sound of the wooden wheels had nothing to do with the Tianji Coffin. Because the Tianji Coffin was behind Fan Wu and others, and the sound came from the front. Some passers-by in front seemed to have seen something, too.
One hurriedly retreated to the roadside.
When the people in front of them retreated, they were able to see ahead. There were actually government officials escorting these prison cars, heading in this direction. It could be clearly seen that inside each prison car
Each of them holds two or three people, and the total number of prisoners in these prison cars must be at least seven or eight.
Walking in front...were a few government officials holding gongs and drums. As they beat the gongs and drums, they shouted loudly: "The official escorts the prisoner, and the idlers retreat! The official escort escorts the prisoner, and the idlers retreat!"
The sound of beating gongs, drums, and shouting will naturally make people retreat. And everyone can feel that...the prisoners being escorted are all ascetics!
Then, there was a troublemaker who shouted and asked on the side of the road: "Guards, what kind of prisoner are you holding? With such a big fanfare and such a big movement, it must be something other than a sneaky guy, right?"
If...these government officials escorting prisoners had some professionalism, they would not answer such a question, but it is obvious that they do not have such professionalism. One of the government officials casually replied: "Blood Gu Cultist!
"
After such an answer, all the people of Yingtian City present suddenly took a breath of cold air. Because the reputation of the Blood Gu Cult is very big in the Shangwu Dynasty, after all, it is too notorious.
Far Yang.
Because some of the evil deeds done by the Blood Gu Sect are hardly covered up, the reputation of the Blood Gu Sect has always been extremely poor. Of course, the Blood Gu Sect is originally a force that believes in evil gods. Such a force has a negative reputation.
Of course it's not good.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the Shangwu Dynasty, as long as there are followers of the Blood Gu Cult, major events will basically happen! Because it may be normal for one or two people from the Blood Gu Cult to die.
A dozen or even hundreds of people may die, which is what happens from time to time.
Under such circumstances... it is strange that such a force that believes in evil gods can have good reviews. Some people are even more taboo about mentioning the Blood Gu Cult. They feel that the three words Blood Gu Cult,
It basically represents the coming of disaster.
That's why the common people in Yingtian City had such a big reaction after learning that the prisoners in the prison van were actually followers of the Blood Gu Sect.
"Good boy, no wonder the people in those prison vans looked so scary to me. It turns out that they are all followers of the Blood Gu Sect! These guys are all undercover."
"We actually captured so many members of the Blood Gu Cult. Were they all caught together when they were doing something together? Well done. Each of these guys should be beheaded!"
"I heard that a county town next door was robbed by the Blood Gu Cult a few years ago. It is said that two to three hundred people died at that time, and one or two hundred people died among officials."
"I think we should stay away. It is said that the methods of the Blood Gu Sect are very strange. What if... we are not careful and they will poison us?!"
"Well done! Damn it, this kind of guy who believes in evil gods should be put to death in a hurry. It's really funny that you don't believe in gods, so you believe in evil gods!"
"Why is there a bad old man here? Is that bad old man also a member of the Blood Gu Sect? And what is the situation with this bad old man?"
"Yes, how come he was penetrated by two chains? He is also covered in blood. Are you sure he is not dead? With such injuries, is it necessary to escort him?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down, there seems to be people from the Imperial City Department among these officials, and it seems that there are quite a few people from the Imperial City Department. These prisoners being escorted are not simple believers!"
"Why are you shushing? What if the people from the Imperial City Temple heard it? I haven't violated the laws of the Shangwu Dynasty, so what are you afraid of?"
"Hiss! So many Blood Gu Cults were captured? Where did they capture them from, right? They were captured from Yingtian City, right?"
"..."
It can be heard from their tone that they are quite afraid of the followers of the Blood Gu Sect.
Even if it is a place with simple folk customs, even if it is an extremely warlike dynasty...
Ordinary people are still a little afraid of an existence like the Blood Gu Sect.
No one wants to be controlled by one or two strange little insects.
Unexpectedly, my body was hollowed out by insects.
That kind of picture can only be imagined in the mind.
It's so creepy!
"Huh? It turns out they are people from the Blood Gu Sect." Bai Sheng sounded quite surprised and whispered: "In some counties or cities I have passed recently, I have occasionally seen followers of the Blood Gu Sect being caught.
, I didn’t expect that people from the Blood Gu Sect would also be arrested in Yingtian City... How do you feel that the frequency of the appearance of Blood Gu Sect followers has become more and more frequent? The Blood Gu Sect used to be relatively low-key, but now it is.
Becoming arrogant."
"Jushi Bai, is the Blood Gu Cult in the Shangwu Dynasty also so rampant?" The person who asked such a question was obviously Xing Fengzi. Xing Fengzi looked at the situation in front of several prison cars and spoke.
Said: "In our Great Zhou Dynasty, there are a large number of Blood Gu Cult believers who are causing chaos. Even those Blood Gu Cult believers want to overthrow the rule of a dynasty and plunge the entire dynasty into war."
"In your Great Zhou Dynasty, there are actually followers of the Blood Gu Sect who are causing trouble?" Bai Sheng was very surprised and a little angry: "Those guys are all lawless and regard human life as nothing. But they are also extremely cunning and extremely hidden.
Deep down, if they didn't take the initiative to expose themselves, no one would know that they are members of the Blood Gu Sect. In the past ten years, the Blood Gu Sect has probably killed millions of people in the Shangwu Dynasty!"
Ten years, millions of people, this is a very astonishing number. On average, it is equivalent to the Blood Gu cultists in the Shangwu Dynasty, who harm hundreds of thousands of people every year! This harm to hundreds of thousands of people
Among the common people... let alone 100% mortality rate, I estimate it must be 50%, right? Doesn't that mean that every year, a person in the county dies due to the Blood Gu Cult?
Moreover, the Blood Gu Cult has been active in the Shangwu Dynasty for more than ten years, and may have been a hundred or even hundreds of years. In so many years, the Shangwu Dynasty, which has such strong military and economic strength, has not brought such a huge
Once the trouble is solved, one can imagine how difficult this thing is.
"They are coming, Bai thinks, we should avoid it for a little bit. After all, if we are blocked on this road, if people from the Imperial City Department think that we are accomplices of the Blood Gu Sect. Even if the misunderstanding can be resolved in the end, but
The time and energy wasted in it is enough to cause headaches.”
Just when Bai Sheng had just finished making such a suggestion, something unexpected happened! At the same time, Bai Sheng's expression also changed slightly, because he noticed a very weird aura. Like this
A vague aura gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.
Then his eyes saw a particularly strange-looking little bug flying past his eyes. After seeing such a strange little bug, Bai Sheng's eyes shrank suddenly and he screamed in surprise.
He reminded: "It's a Gu worm! It's impossible for a Blood Gu cult member locked in a prison car to control a Gu worm."
"That is to say...it is very likely that there are people from the Blood Gu Sect nearby, and they...want to hijack the prison car!" Just as Bai Sheng finished his reminder, the sound of dense wings flapping came from all around. Such a sound
, even a group of ordinary people hiding on the roadside could hear it clearly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When the people on the roadside hurriedly turned their eyes to the direction of the sound, they saw an incredible scene - densely packed pitch-black insects.
The swarms are like a tide, emerging from alleys everywhere, and their numbers are so numerous that it makes one's scalp numb.
Such an anomaly... even ordinary people could see it, let alone the government officials and the Imperial City Bureau escorting the prison car! Especially a group of Imperial City Bureau chiefs, they immediately became vigilant.
"Stop!" one of the Imperial City Secretaries shouted hurriedly: "There are Blood Gu cult members who want to rob the prison car! Be alert! Stop these Gu insects!"
So many Gu insects appeared like a tide.
It's hard not to notice.
And the entire street fell into chaos due to the appearance of these densely packed Gu insects. Because these Gu insects were attacking indiscriminately! They all have very sharp mouthparts that bite.
When it is on a human body, it is no less than being stared at by a wasp. It is even more painful than that. It is an unbearable pain.
The combination of physical pain and psychological fear made the street even more chaotic, and panic spread instantly. Every citizen was screaming, trying to get rid of whatever was on their body.
Shoot the Gu bug.
The entire street was blocked and the prison car could not move at all.
There are also a large number of Gu insects heading towards the prison cars!
"Damn it!" A member of the Imperial City Division hurriedly slapped a Gu insect lying on the back of his hand. He even took out a talisman, opened his mouth and blew into the talisman, and the talisman actually turned into a talisman.
A ball of flame surged forward.
In an instant, hundreds of Gu Insects were directly burned to ashes, but more Gu Insects added additional damage.
Are there more than tens of thousands of Gu insects?
