The name of Zhu Zonghu's fiefdom is Mianlu. There are only 300,000 households and more than 1.4 million people here, most of whom are migrating border residents and slaves responsible for mining.
Because he has been in a remote area for a long time, many people here are illiterate, and there are no creation factories. King Xi sealed him here, which was obviously just perfunctory.
Originally, when some people in the Hao clan saw Zhu Zonghu being granted the title, they thought that King Xi was trying to support the heir to maintain the balance with Zhu Yeheng, so they came over happily to seek refuge, but when they found out that the title was
After that, they were met with a bucket of cold water. Some people turned around and left, and only a few gritted their teeth and persisted.
Zhu Zonghu had long known about the barrenness of the fiefdom, but it was precisely because of this that he was not opposed by the old people in the upper domain during this process. What he urgently needs now is a place to stand, cultivate and expand his power, and
No longer relying on others.
He looked at the city that had begun to take shape from the top of the ring hall, and sighed: "I didn't expect it to be like this in such a short period of time. It's all thanks to Mr. Yin and the others."
Wang Daoren agreed: "These heavenly beings are all great talents!"
At this moment, a year has passed since he reached an alliance with Yin Huanting and others. In just one year, more than 1,200 Xuan Xiu have arrived here, and more people are on the way.
It’s not that some disciples don’t want to come here, but because the land is vast and the journey is too far, and they are hostile to remote forces and local forces of the Hao tribe, so they can’t use flying boats and can only rush here on their own.
You see, Mianlu has become the largest gathering place for spiritual practitioners.
You must know that all Xuanxiu came from serious schools before learning Taoism. Even if they don't learn Taoism, they will be qualified to serve as a low-level affairs official after they go out.
The Xuanxiu disciples who can come here can all feel the Chapter of the Great Dao, and each of them can be regarded as Tianxia Yingrui, not to mention a few like Yinhuan Ting who have practiced to the fourth chapter.
The quality of his books and knowledge are not comparable to those of ordinary people.
And some of them are Xuanxiu trained by Tianji Academy. These people are not from the same background as ordinary Xuanxiu, but they are more than enough to serve as craftsmen. It can be said that the fief has more than a thousand middle- and lower-level officials with rich knowledge.
, this moment supported the structure of the entire fiefdom.
While Taoist Wang was overjoyed, he also showed a trace of worry, saying: "Zonghu, every place in the fiefdom now depends on these heavenly beings. If they are to come in the future..."
Zhu Zonghu said: "Wang Zhidao, every heavenly being has signed a covenant with me. Besides, haven't you seen that what these heavenly beings care about is never about power and benefits, but about getting a place to establish themselves."
, what we see before our eyes is all built by their own hands, will they give up?"
Wang Daoren was still worried and said: "What if..."
Zhu Zonghu shook his head and sighed: "Wang Zhidao, you are thinking too far. The Hao clan is far from being so easy to deal with."
As a clan member and the heir of King Xi, although he is only a nominal successor, he has also been able to understand some things that ordinary clan members cannot access. He is very aware of the strength that the Hao clan has now, which is unparalleled in the world.
All the monastic sects in China combined cannot defeat the Hao clan, let alone the few heavenly beings.
The Hao Clan's ability to stand firmly depends mainly on the upper-level power that crushes various sects. There is no upper-level power among the heavenly beings, so it is unnecessary to be wary of it now.
At least for now, he has no hope of winning.
But he had to do this. As the successor of King Xi, it was impossible for him to retreat even if he wanted to. If he didn't deal with others, others would come back to deal with him. He could only go one way to the end, and if he took one step backward, he would be shattered into pieces.
He asked at this time: "How is Mr. Tao doing lately?"
Wang Daoren said: "Mr. Tao has not had much contact with these heavenly beings, but those heavenly beings respect Mr. Tao very much. Of course, they may have made it for us to see, because there should be no separation between heavenly beings and humans."
Empty communication.”
Zhu Zonghu smiled, not paying attention to the reminder in Wang Taoist's words, and said: "I know that Mr. Tao is devoted to Taoism, but since he has received the post of 'governing Tao', Wang Zhidao should still persuade Mr. Tao to take on the important responsibility.
Come."
Even though the "Celestial Beings" were allies, they still needed someone to be responsible for dealing with these people. This position involved both parties, and was actually very important. He entrusted this to Zhang Yu without hesitation.
On the one hand, this is because he has no doubts about employing people, and on the other hand, he knows that Zhang Yu has no interest in secular affairs, so he is more willing to entrust matters to him.
Wang Taoist could only say yes.
At this moment, outside the city limits, Yinhuan Ting is assigning people to set up a city defense formation. He has been extremely busy this year. It can be said that the construction framework of the entire fiefdom is under his control, as well as several people from the Creation Institute invited by Zhu Zonghu.
The builders discussed and built it together.
Not only did he not feel tired about it, but he felt full of accomplishment.
In the past, his goal was to become the Xuanshou guarding Shangzhou. However, if there was no special reason for Shangzhou's Xuanshou, then only Xuanzun could take the position. But now he has found such an opportunity.
Although there are only more than a thousand Xuanxiu cultivators at the moment, more people are coming. Not only that, they can also rely on this place to spread the law. With such a large population here, there must be people who can sense the profound chapters of the Dao.
The strength of Xuanxiu lies not only in the various seals and seals developed by predecessors, but also in the convenience of spreading the Dharma which is far more convenient than the real Dharma.
Now that they have such a stable place, they can use this to spread the law, and it won't take long before they create a world where only Xuan Xiu exists.
Zhang Yu has been practicing these days, getting rid of secular affairs and practicing wholeheartedly. Although the time is still short, he may feel that his mastery of Taoism is gradually improving. Although it is very slow, I believe that if it accumulates over time, it will become better.
Can gradually make up for the shortcomings.
Time passed slowly in the busyness, and another month passed. On this day, a servant came to report: "Mr. Tao, Zong Hu said that he has something to ask for."
Zhang Yu knew that Zhu Zonghu would not come to look for him if he did not encounter something urgent, so he patted the bulkhead from a distance, and as the light outside changed, he appeared in another place after a few breaths.
territory.
He stepped out of the water-like crystal gate and arrived at the large ring hall in the city. Zhu Zonghu and Wang Daoren were waiting here, and Yinhuan Ting also arrived first.
Zhu Zonghu first saluted Zhang Yu and said, "Mr. Tao is here." He made a virtual invitation, "Sir, please take a seat."
Zhang Yu returned the gift, nodded to Yin Huan Ting, and went to sit down.
Yin Huan Ting was busy saying a courtesy in return. He always felt that Zhang Yu seemed to be a fellow Taoist he had met before, but he couldn't remember who it was, but logically speaking, it was impossible for him to forget the person he had met.
At this stage of his life, he knew very well and guessed that Zhang Yu was probably the reflection of a certain Xuan Zun, which could lead to this result. Therefore, he treated Zhang Yu with respect no matter in public or in private.
After everyone was seated, Zhu Zonghu said: "Guys, we have received news that an old army has set its sights on us, and may soon send a fleet to attack."
The so-called old army is a group of old people of the Hao tribe who were dissatisfied with their loss of status and formed another force. But in fact, they are also controlled behind the scenes by the various clans and kings of the Hao tribe. Otherwise, it would be impossible to replenish them from the creation factory.
to flying boats and weapons of creation.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhu Zonghu's fiefdom is on the border. It is barren and not a strategic location. There is nothing worth coveting.
Therefore, they judged that this was probably Zhu Yeheng's method, and the purpose was to send the old army to destroy them and prevent them from having a chance to develop.
Zhu Zonghu said: "There are high-level forces on the opposite side, and it is impossible to come too many. I have Jianniao to deal with it, but I need to leave the rest to you."
Now the city's Creation Center has just been established, and only 300 sets of creation outer armor have been prepared. However, he had gritted his teeth and used his own assets, endured the exploitation of other clan members, and purchased more than 2,000 sets of outer armor, which was barely enough.
There were three thousand soldiers, but there were only twenty fighting ships.
However, the old army on the opposite side has at least 150 flying boats. This does not count the support that may be obtained. The difference in strength between the two sides is too great.
Wang Daoren said in a deep voice: "We have no chance of winning if we form a formation to fight. If we stick to our defense, it is difficult to say that we can withstand the bombardment of the flying boats."
The Hao people's creation skills also include weapons similar to the mysterious weapons. The fiefdom formation they just built has not yet been fully deployed, so it will be difficult to block the indiscriminate bombardment of a fleet.
Yin Huanting thought for a moment and said, "Since Zhu Zonghu has heard so much information, does he know where the old troops are?"
Wang Daoren said: "I don't know the details, but I know the general area."
Yin Huan Ting said: "In this case, I have a way to solve this matter without any bloodshed. I just need the sect protector to lend me the Bird Jian."
Zhu Zonghu nodded and said: "Of course it is possible." He thought about it and tried to ask: "Which method are you going to use?"
Yin Huanting admitted frankly: "Exactly."
Zhu Zonghu unconsciously nodded. After all, he was an ally, and he would not hide anything from him. Although that method made him frightened, and he was afraid of getting burned, but he still had the courage. He bowed with a straight face and said:
"Then I'll leave it to you."
After the meeting, Zhang Yu walked out of the ring hall, stopped and said to Yin Huan Ting: "Friend **, this method is only of temporary use, our cultivation is what matters."
Yin Huanting responded solemnly: "Yes, Mr. Tao, this method is only to deal with the crisis now. When our generation becomes more powerful, there will be no need to use this method."
After saying goodbye to Zhang Yu, he called out the Xuntian Daozhang, found Lin Cun, explained the matter, and then said: "Fellow Daoist Lin, are you ready?"
Lin Xing said: "We have already prepared it. Senior Yin can tell us where to go."
Yin Huanting remembered Zhang Yu's warning and also reminded: "Although we are using reflection, our consciousness is still our own. If we do this many times, it may still affect our own consciousness. Fellow Daoist Lin, if you
If you don’t want to be contaminated by this, then it’s best to use less of these methods in the future.”
Lin Chen smiled and said: "Senior Yin, don't worry, I know this."
Yin Huanting said: "Okay, just make some preparations and I will send you there today."
Lin Chen immediately responded with excitement. Today, he is no longer satisfied with some simple attempts to resurrect the dead. Now, with constant attempts, he has been able to transform himself into a chaotic monster.
And he also found some "like-minded" people. There are not many of them at present, only more than thirty. However, chaos monsters usually appear alone, but if more than thirty chaos monsters appear together, the scene will be very serious.
It's scary, he can't help but want to try its power.
