In Shanyang Plain, the mountain wind blows from the north, the air is clear and the sunshine is very good.
On a high hill, there are two middle-aged Taoists, both wearing Taoist robes and wooden crowns, with extraordinary bearing.
At this time, they were standing one after another, looking down, and saw two armies encountering each other, the Yin soldiers and the family soldiers, one or two thousand infantry and cavalry. After a tentative confrontation, one cavalry on each side tried to go around the enemy's rear, and then bumped into each other on the flank, and they soon became entangled.
together.
The flash of swords, the shouts of men and the neighing of horses, hot blood spurted out, staining the armor of the soldiers and the corpses on the ground. Layers of Yin Qi were dispersed by the magicians and surged up again, causing the battle line to fluctuate. The damage to the front line became more and more severe.
Each magician was sweating profusely. Only one real person was held back by the Taoist from the outside world on the opposite side, and he could only watch helplessly as more than a dozen Yin generals suppressed his own side.
The strength of the Yin Soldiers is only two points lower than that of an adult man. The human race's equal forces fought a stalemate with the Yin Soldiers, and the scene was very ugly.
"It's a little unbearable, and it's not up to par in terms of combat capability." A Taoist commented objectively.
"The Shaohan Clan has attached itself to the Li family in Ban'an County in recent years. It is a bit neglected in terms of cultivation, but it is also related to the poor coordination with the soldiers. The good seeds were taken away by the county magistrate Yu Fan. Huashu Taoist Mingjian." Another Taoist smiled a little reluctantly.
He said it was Yun Shuizi. He glanced at the real person presiding below and mourned for this small sect.
It’s not for anything else, it’s just that the rabbit dies and the fox grieves, so does human love.
The duty of the Taoist sect is to supervise the immortal sects in the world. A state-level immortal sect assessment will be organized every ten years to rate the comprehensive strength of each sect in the state. Excellent immortal sects are allowed to upgrade, those who pass the exam will continue to survive, and those who fail will be demoted.
It's really bad... I just have to apologize.
The downgrade of the Yunshui Sect happened a hundred years ago, and it was deeply impressed in the childhood memories of this generation of practitioners. The current generation of sect masters could not help but be vigilant. Unfortunately, they lost the core blue scroll "Yunshui Jitu", which was the bottleneck of the cultivation tree, before and after.
The disconnection of the times and the continuous decline in comprehensive strength can only be delayed, but cannot be stopped.
This year is a good year for assessment, and there is an invasion from outside. It is conceivable that the result of negative reviews is far more than the shrinkage of territory and resources in the past - giving negative reviews now is life-threatening.
The Yunshui Sect can still withstand one downgrade. If the Shaohan Clan is demoted again, the sect will be disbanded, and they can only be privately inherited casual cultivators.
As if he was aware of Yun Shuizi's mood, Taoist Hua Shu withdrew his attention to the war, walked a few steps, and said calmly: "There must be gains and losses when making choices in the world. Yu Fan's merits and demerits will have their own rewards and punishments from angels. There is no exception."
...This means that there is no exception - this is true for aristocratic families, and it is also true for immortal sects."
"The heavenly law concluded by the three Dao Lords and the five Heavenly Emperors was like this in the past, and it is even more like this in times of crisis. The rapid reward and punishment period is not only for the aristocratic families, but also for the immortal sects. Even our Taoist sects at all levels have angels responsible for rewards and punishments.
At the beginning of the month, it’s half a month for the Aristocratic Family, half a month for the Immortal Sect, and half a month for the Dao Sect. The cycles are all the same. Since you came here to inquire about it, Master Yun, do you know what I mean now?”
This is to temporarily put aside the distinction between concubine and concubine, and fully integrate the power.
Yun Shuizi thought in shock, and then faintly realized the opportunity for our sect... Yunshui Sect had also enjoyed great success.
"Since losing the core blue scroll "Yun Shui Ji Tu", you have declined to the county level and have always wanted to obtain a copy kept by Heaven. However, Heaven also requires storage fees. It took you three hundred years to only get the first four floors. There is always a lack of
At the fifth level of real person cultivation, it is indeed difficult to accumulate a thousand heavenly skills in a peaceful period. Now this is your chance..." Taoist Hua Shu tempted him and said after another pause: "Of course there are shortcuts. Did you know that Governor Ye has already obtained it?
"The Chronicle of Clouds and Waters"?"
"Full version?" Yun Shuizi lost his voice, lowered his head and said nothing, quickly thinking about the meaning of Huashu Taoist's words... The Taoist sect also has assessment indicators recently, and is responsible for integrating local resistance forces. This person is also under a lot of pressure to be assessed.
, this may be to promote the integration of Yunshuimen and Nanlian Mountain, but Xianmen is not allowed to directly establish a people-friendly military and political system. With the same strength, it is far less advantageous than the princes in rules and regulations. Who is the leader of this integration?
While he was hesitating, another ray of light pressed down on the rock on the top of the mountain, and a young Taoist ran over excitedly: "Master!"
Taoist Hua Shu entered the assessment data with his spiritual consciousness on a jade plate. At this time, he asked without looking back: "How is the situation now?"
"The county city was consumed by Yin soldiers twice more, and the Western Alliance Conference was not successfully held. Some county officials even took credit for themselves. Yu Chengen had to ask the gods of several ancient battlefields for heroic support, and intercepted it for Yanzhou County to the west.
When the state sent 10,000 reinforcements, there was so much noise that they wanted to go to the state capital to file a lawsuit... In short, all kinds of chaos."
"Jundong has been completely cleaned up, and there are almost no evil spirits escaping." The young Taoist was speechless and admired himself: "When I came here, I heard that Ye Qing... er, I mean Commander Ye had successfully convened the Jundong Alliance Conference.
Radiate the five eastern counties of the county.”
"Fifth County in the East of Radiation County" Yun Shuizi's body was shocked. Our sect's mountain gate is in Linchuan County in the east, the farthest away from the Ye family. Could it be that it is under the direct jurisdiction of Ye Qing?
Taoist Hua Shu was also a little surprised, and turned around and said, "Do you want the county magistrate to obey your orders?"
"That's not true." The young Taoist said with a start and shook his head: "But the county gentry families basically attended the meeting and directly controlled the middle-level executive power of each county. The county magistrates of the five counties were all ignored, and no paper was left out of the county government."
Taoist Hua Shu said softly, "Oh," he said. He had no other opinions and only glanced at Yun Shuizi who was in a daze.
"Since the Young Governor's Mansion has actually taken over the county, your Immortal Sect cannot compete with him for space, but it cannot do without your support. There is no fundamental conflict. Think about it during this war."
"Yes, thank you Taoist Master Hua Shu for the advice." Yun Shuizi was secretly stunned. The heat was just right - if Ye Qing rushed to order the county magistrate or even depose the county magistrate, then he would receive a fierce counterattack from the imperial court, but the heavenly court would never
Endorse him.
The ugly fighting continued below. Several people were thoughtful and did not participate in the battle. It was not until the two groups of soldiers retreated that they could no longer continue. Yun Shuizi left in a hurry. He wanted to go back to digest this information and adjust the direction of the sect...
Some of the previous postures have been very low, but they still have to hold on to some airs. Where is the high-end combat power of the Immortal Sect? Who would have expected that Ye Qing is so courageous, and the Cai Dynasty has not yet fallen.
"These Five Meridians Immortal Sect." The young Taoist withdrew his contemptuous gaze, his tone was somewhat disdainful for young people, and he was even more condescending as he was a direct descendant of the Three Lords Taoist Sect.
Taoist Hua Shu burst into laughter and patted his disciple on the head: "Your idea is very wrong. In times of war, there are no distinctions between life and death."
The young Taoist bowed his head and responded, feeling unconvinced - every calamity is a renewal of the heaven and earth, and the great calamity is just a more drastic renewal. The power of the three Taoists is self-contained, and the method does not need to rely on the five meridians.
There is no fear of being rubbed when the five meridians alternate, and there is the advantage of not being contaminated by the calamity. The disciple is protected by the Tao Lord's independent luck, so in every calamity, the survival rate is higher than that of the same level.
"The Shaozhen Zifu Immortal of our sect dare not say that he is not afraid of calamity. You have never seen the cruelty of life and death, so you have the arrogance of youth."
Taoist Master Hua Shu sighed and shook his head. He knew that such a young man's mentality could not be corrected instantly, but he could not help but constantly instill: "These immortal sects are very realistic in dealing with things. If they really grasp the fundamentals of the place, they will not put on airs and quickly get closer.
"
"This kind of thing often happens when dynasties change. Yunshui Sect has done it more than once or twice in history. It is considered a familiarity. After the integration of forces, the effectiveness of their respective wars increases, and the rewards are more, which makes up for the loss of interests.
out."
The young Taoist nodded to show his understanding, frowned and asked: "Speaking of merit rewards, why is the merit reward period for our direct descendants also half a month? It can't be less, why not once every three days?"
"Rewarding merits also requires organizational costs. The realization of human merits requires costs, and the realization of heavenly merits requires even more costs." Huashu Taoist sat down to pack the jade plate of spiritual consciousness, looked up at the sky, and sighed again: "Generally, by
The clones of immortal spirits serve as angels, don’t they have their own duties? Or the Taoist Master Yang Shen temporarily acts as an immortal official, don’t we have our own practice?”
"Angels can also be mobilized from various places. The Merit Reward Heavenly Disc comes from the Heavenly Net. The number of divisions is more limited, and it can only be driven by the spirit of the fairy. It must return to heaven every half month, or it can be driven by the spirit of the fairy from the fairy treasure.
These are all costs. If we increase the cost to speed up the reward generally, the heaven can afford to pay the cost for a single state, but it is not necessary right now."
"The rebellion in this state is a big deal for us, but it is just a small corner of the country for Heaven. One state can afford it. If the Hundreds of States are to have a full-scale rebellion, how can Heaven afford it? Now let's take this state.
By conducting experiments, the experience accumulated is valuable data.”
"Your focus is on Honshu, so I can't understand it. However, Heavenly Court is determined to collect accurate data. Even if Yingzhou is defeated, immortals will come down to wipe out the situation in the blink of an eye. As long as the outer land fails to establish a ground base for one day, it will be over.
The Japanese cannot really compete with us in this domain... The last time Slim tried to build a black lotus to attract the big pool, he immediately suppressed it with a backhand. This is the intolerable bottom line. Compared with the current Yin soldiers, they are nothing. You
Do you understand a little better now?"
"……understood."
The young Taoist said with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face. He knew that it was good that he could get the half-month assessment. He didn't even think about it once every three days...
"Okay, now that the assessment data for this sect has been collected, we're in a hurry to assess the next celestial sect."
Taoist Hua Shu put away the jade plate of spiritual consciousness and was about to leave immediately when he suddenly felt something and stopped and turned his gaze to the north: "There's something wrong with the atmosphere there... Has there been any noise from the grassland side lately?"
"The information from the Northern Wei side is blocked. The latest news has been passed on by Yu Fanjun. This guy scanned the small tribes in the north of the mountain. When the harvest was getting less and less, he ran to Yanzhou County in the west to pick up bargains. He only said that there are large tribes deep in the grassland.
There is no other news about the Yin soldiers... It sounds like an excuse. The King of Wei is going on a killing spree in Xiatu and is almost unified. Where can most of the Yin soldiers escape... Even if there are Yin soldiers, he probably won't.
If you are willing to fight, you have no talent."
"Yu Fan is such a naughty guy. He eats meat very quickly and runs away when he chews on the bones... Who could get used to this problem?" Taoist Master Hua Shu frowned deeply, feeling a little displeased.
At present, there are the county government and Nanlian Mountain on both sides. This son's merits are greater than his past. In the future, if he really leads one side and coordinates the overall situation, his merits and demerits will be another matter. He will inevitably stumble on this problem.
There was another one. He was also puzzled by the appearance of the Yin soldiers in the grassland. He couldn't help but take out the military map, and moved his fingers around the area of Yingzhou. He accidentally slipped to a blank space outside the state, and suddenly a flash of light broke through the sea of knowledge: "Prairie... The enemy in this county
Where was the last news from the manager?"
"Heyang County in the southernmost part of Honshu disappeared for the next ten days. What happened?"
"What a golden cicada has escaped from its shell." Taoist Hua Shu suddenly realized and stood up suddenly: "I will immediately go to monitor the ancient battlefield in the northern grassland. You go to the state city and ask your uncle to order all the immortal sects in the state to immediately send more magicians to guard each place.
County and county, and inform the gods of the major ancient battlefields to be on guard against unusual movements in the grasslands to the north."
"Yes." The disciple quickly responded with a straight face, then raised his head, and saw a ray of light traveling northward, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
