He finally accepted Chang Xun's favor, and he felt uneasy if he had to repay it or not.
If he had taken action on the city tower that day, with the incense monk's power, he would have been seriously injured.
If another flag official who was not familiar with him came, he would lose his life. Although Magistrate Hu still chased him in the end, he saved his own life.
There are some things that he has to pay back.
After finishing his words, Chi Xuan turned around and went to the dungeon of Jimingguan to release the imprisoned people.
"Captain Gu, are you okay?"
"Have a rest for now."
Gu Ming spat out a large mouthful of blood.
He was indeed no match for the down-and-out Taoist, but surviving like this made him feel that it was an insult to his status as a monk. However, he could not teach Chang Xun a lesson, because Chang Xun wanted to save his life.
"Where did that Taoist come from?"
"It's really awesome."
"I feel like I can't get close to the midfielder."
The flag officers beside him talked one by one, but they all wisely did not mention what Chang Xun did just now. This matter may be big or small, but if you don't mention it, nothing will happen.
"I don't know. I only know that the original Taoist priest was a mountain monk. When we last met, his cultivation was already good. I didn't expect that two years later, he would already have such a Taoist practice."
"Two years? You mean, his cultivation level was not like this two years ago?"
Chang Xun seemed to realize the problem. After being stunned, he murmured in surprise: "Two years."
Incense Dao monks may be able to break through their own cultivation so quickly, but true cultivation requires spiritual energy. It happens that the spiritual energy in their world is not sufficient. If they want to support a Taoist monk, the spiritual energy required is huge.
Gu Ming suddenly realized that something was strange.
At least he is still alive, and there will still be time to find out the truth of the matter.
Captain Gu also became suspicious of what the down-and-out monk said.
…
The prison cell was opened, and many skinny, unstable and swaying people came out.
They have no extra energy to speak, and no more tears to shed.
He looked dazed and looked haggard.
It looked like it was completely exhausted.
"This this……"
The flag officers had been talking for a long time, but they didn't say a complete sentence. They all looked at each other, not knowing what to say, so they simply closed their mouths and turned their eyes to Colonel Gu, who was recovering from his injuries.
They didn't know that Jiming Temple was actually doing something like this.
"This is..." Chang Xun was also stunned and froze on the spot.
Compared with incense cultivation, true cultivation can indeed be said to be something otherworldly.
"They don't have much life left."
Tu Shanjun said something.
Even if people are rescued, these people are not far from death. They only have their last breath left and must be protected with magic power and incense. Once the protection is removed, they will die soon.
There are also some who were tortured and deformed into human form. When they walked out of the dungeon and saw the sunlight again, they were like the ghosts in the tomb who did not dare to face the light of the outside world and huddled in the dark corners.
Chi Xuan raised his head: "It is better to die standing in the sun than to stink in prison and no one knows about it."
"At least... they can still choose their own burial place."
He thought that he would become powerful enough when he reached the foundation-building realm, but he still had no way to save people. All he could do was let them have some freedom for a short time and choose to die in a cleaner place.
Tushanjun has long been used to this kind of thing.
As one's cultivation grows stronger, one's heart becomes hardened.
Until a figure fell to the ground lifeless, Chi Xuan held the magic formula and read the Taoist scriptures for salvation.
Then he turned around and left with his sword, heading towards the large county town of Long County.
Captain Gu and the others all looked shocked.
It seemed that this was the first time they had seen such a scene. I don’t know if they were too unrealistic or if they had made some connections but were snuffed out and did not continue to pay attention.
All in all, this incident touched them greatly.
Chang Xun stood there, not knowing what he was thinking.
Captain Gu, who had recovered somewhat from his injuries, sighed and said, "Take the corpse away."
Perhaps thinking of something, Gu Ming pondered slightly and added: "The imperial court will naturally investigate the matters here. It is not our place to interfere with the Demon Yamen. Just do your duty."
The power of subjugating demons is very great, and just because the power is great, there are also more restrictions.
The most important thing is that they cannot interfere in local government affairs.
…
It was already approaching evening when he left Long County. The indigo robe on Chi Xuan's body was completely dyed red, without any trace of other colors. It looked particularly dazzling under the setting sun.
Chi Xuan killed many people.
They were all people involved in the abduction incident. The high-ranking official who went to Long County was crushed into a pulp by him, and he especially felt that it was not enough to satisfy his hatred.
The setting sun on both sides of the distant mountains has already hidden itself in the low mountains, blocking out a large area of light and dragging Chi Xuan's shadow very long.
The shadow hung far behind him.
Maybe you don't need to wait until tomorrow.
Before the sun goes down, his wanted notice will appear on the walls of every state and county.
The court may even send monks to suppress him.
But he didn't feel fear, instead he felt happy.
It was as if he had finally broken free of his shackles and gained a little breath of freedom.
"Demon Lord, what kind of cultivation do I need to help you return?" People are always happy after a great revenge is avenged, and Chi Xuan also understands who he relies on and who he gets his strength from.
Of course he will not forget the agreement he made with Tushanjun.
Regarding this issue, Tu Shanjun has long thought about it. He feels that Chixuan must at least reach the middle and late stages of Jindan, and at least master the realm. It would be better if he could understand his own artistic conception.
However, the more critical thing should be the incense seal in his hand. I don't know what kind of power inspired the seal to open the rift and return to the small wilderness.
The cultivation level of foundation building can also be piled up by relying on heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Even if Chi Xuan cannot figure out his own path and cannot reach the realm of fake elixirs, he can still fill in more than half with resources. The only thing he needs to worry about is the disaster he will face when he breaks through the golden elixir.
The thunder tribulation is visible and tangible, but the golden elixir tribulation is all-encompassing and I don’t know what it is exactly.
"Golden elixir master realm."
After hearing Tu Shanjun's answer, Chi Xuan murmured: "Golden elixir... Grandmaster level."
"The first step is to practice Taoism and step into the golden elixir. Originally, we were just laying the foundation. The division between Qi training and foundation building is actually not rigorous. It is the right step..." Tu Shanjun rarely gave a long speech to popularize the basic knowledge of spiritual practice for Chi Xuan.
.
Chi Xuan listened while walking.
Only then did he understand that this was what cultivation was like.
Qi training, foundation building, golden elixir.
He is now in the early stage of foundation building. If he wants to condense the golden elixir, he needs to expand his Dantian to the maximum and liquefy all the mana in order to visualize the power of the Yin Shen.
Only after completing this process can you achieve perfection.
Tu Shanjun didn't tell Chi Xuan about the Jindan realm. Telling him now would inevitably suppress the spirit of forging ahead and make people obsessed. It would be better to wait until the foundation building is complete before explaining it.
What follows is a summary of today’s battle.
Chi Xuan listened with great interest.
There is a great practitioner who specializes in preaching. This is the greatest opportunity.
Chi Xuan is also considering the next path.
He planned to return to Chiyang Palace first and then make long-term plans.
I had been hiding for a long time before, but now it's just the same as before, hiding and cultivating slowly.
No matter how many monks the imperial court dispatches, they will not mobilize too many Demon-Conquering Captains to deal with him. Without the suppression of the Demon-Conquering Captains, there will be an outburst of demons and monsters everywhere.
Compared with the things he did, the world was more important.
Chi Xuan also asked Tu Shanjun for his opinion.
Tu Shanjun made it clear that he was not the only rebel in the world.
Those behemoths that had developed were quite troublesome for the court to deal with, and most of them focused on recruiting peace.
Speaking of rebellion, Chi Xuan remembered a story his master once told him.
That happened fifty years ago.
A highly respected monk in the imperial court rose up.
As soon as it broke out, it caused a huge wave, with large armies arrayed and high-level cultivators appearing frequently, launching an unprecedented war. This was why we had fifty years of rest and recuperation. What happened after that was just a small fight.
The monks who were called Taibao along the Huaihe River for 800 miles finally surrendered to the imperial court and sought an official position.
…
The sword is flying.
Chi Xuan has returned to Chiyang Palace.
Chiyang Palace was quiet. Chi Xuan released his spiritual consciousness and suddenly found that there were many more people, all gathered in Chiyang Palace.
His expression darkened, and he thought to himself, the court's actions were so fast.
Before he could react, soldiers had been arranged to stay at Chiyang Palace.
But upon closer inspection, I realized that he was not a soldier.
Chi Xuan turned around and entered the Taoist temple and found that these people were common people who were sick. He knew most of them. The leader who gathered in the Taoist temple was Zhou Hui.
"Taoist Priest?"
Zhou Hui, who was writing something at his desk, suddenly became surprised when he saw Chi Xuan. He heard that something big happened in Long County, so he stepped up his efforts to gather the sick people. Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest would return to the Taoist temple at this moment.
This gave him confidence.
Seeing Chi Xuan's Taoist robe stained red with blood, he was shocked: "Taoist Master, you..."
Chi Xuan waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, these are not my blood."
"Is there a man named He San who has come to seek refuge?"
Zhou Hui shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it."
After speaking, he carefully observed Chi Xuan to make sure that what Chi Xuan said was true and that there were indeed no injuries on his body. Then he said: "Taoist Master, while you are not here, I asked them to go to the surrounding village chiefs to search for the people. A total of
Five hundred and seventy-two people gathered, most of them young and strong."
Those who can stand it are mostly young adults.
Old people and children who contract the disease will soon look like Old Man Yang.
Chi Xuan was shocked. He didn't expect that there were only about ten people there, but in two or three days Zhou Hui had organized so many people, and they were all young and strong.
With these people, and the devil's magic skills, conquering the county government will not be a problem.
Zhou Hui took out a rough map from behind the straw mat, laid it flat on the table, and picked up the wick to make the flame brighter.
Then he suppressed his excitement and said slowly: "Taoist, the county government won't notice us now. As long as you cure those people and make them stronger, we can take over the county seat."
"When the time comes, under the guise of identity and paying taxes to the superiors, it will be enough to control the county government in your own hands."
"Based on Jixian County, we will capture Longxian County to the east and guard the main road of Longhe River. We will capture Qixian County to the west and block the mountain passes to form a situation that is vulnerable and difficult to attack."
"If we expand to the surrounding counties and cities, continue to heal the people, and give them the strength to join us, we can take over Juling County."
"Finally, face the world, take healing as the main doctrine as a supplement, and unite the hearts of the world."
"When the time comes, use the whole world to attack the imperial court and take its place."
The more Zhou Hui spoke, the more confident he became. He looked at Chi Xuan with a keen eye and said in a low voice: "Of course, we also need a monk who is strong enough to stand in and resist the pressure of the court, that is you, Taoist Priest."
"As long as we move secretly, we can gather all the people in Juling County, and then the court will also need to weigh it."
Chi Xuan looked at Zhou Hui in shock, whose face was illuminated by candlelight.
Such a path has never even occurred to him. He just felt that he needed to continuously improve his cultivation and then overthrow the imperial court, but he had no specific plan.
"Taoist Priest, you have power and you have a way to give us power. Why can't you help us survive?"
