"The blue sky has died, and the red sky must stand."
Chi Xuan ignited the transmission talisman in his hand and asked the magicians from the other three counties who had been prepared to take action.
The magicians of the Chitian Society showed their cultivation as soon as they received the news. With the help of the Demon-Conquering Yamen, they will soon take over the county town, and then use the county town to radiate in all directions.
Three days later, the entire territory of Xuzhou fell into the hands of Chi Xuan.
Millions of soldiers and civilians have all become followers of the Chitian Society.
Among the 50,000 elite talisman soldiers, under the protection of incense, each one can be worth ten.
Due to the knowledge of iron smelting taught by Tu Shanjun and his cultivation as a master of talisman formations, the talisman armor workshop has been established long ago and can produce more than ten pieces of talisman armor with complete array patterns every day, all driven by the power of incense.
This kind of armor is the most sophisticated in the world.
It can make the Red Sky Talisman soldiers who were originally one against ten become the enemy of hundreds or even thousands of enemies.
The surrendered officials killed some and left some behind.
Some of them are quite capable, and they still need the other party to help them manage the county offices and cities. As long as the Chitian Society is roughly the main one, of course, Chixuan also asks the Dharma Master to join them for supervision.
Xuzhou's six counties and twenty-seven counties gathered 100,000 talisman soldiers, plus 50,000 elite soldiers, Chi Xuan controlled a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses.
The young and strong are more than these, but the young and strong are needed for plowing and harvesting in autumn, and they cannot be all armored soldiers.
Three days ago, Chi Xuan had already sent out the spiritual talismans.
He also used the transmission talismans to convey the message to the leaders of the Dharma lineage. As the earliest and well-practiced practitioners, they were sent by Chi Xuan to develop followers of Chi Tian Hui in other states and counties.
The world is corrupt, and a few more cults are not a big deal to the local government.
On the contrary, those officials can take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, whether it is incense, vows, or spiritual stone bribes, they are all hard currency and good things.
It's different now. The imperial court has reacted and the government is hunting down the followers of the Chitian Society on a large scale.
The first to bear the brunt are the Dharma practitioners from various places and the leaders of the Dharma lineage with high cultivation level.
The time for Chitianhui to develop is still short.
Because Tenri Sect attracted the attention of the imperial court, they were unable to continue to develop. Chambers of commerce and escort agencies could no longer spread throughout the country as before and needed to shrink as soon as possible.
Senzhou.
Zhang Cheng fled from his stronghold, holding the sculpture of Chi Tianjun.
Tie around his waist was the Dharma's head that he later found when he returned.
I don't know if the captain who smashed their stronghold wanted to set an example or not, but instead of crushing the magician's head, he scraped it up, which gave him an opportunity to take advantage of.
The Dharma Master is dead, and the Yin God lives in the wood carving and stone sculpture of Chi Tianjun. He could still talk to him yesterday.
Chen Zhengcai passed his incense basket to Zhang Cheng and told Zhang Cheng his spiritual scriptures and classics.
Zhang Cheng accepted everything at a loss, got the incense basket and the huge incense wish power, and pushed his cultivation to the level of a Dharma practitioner.
"Three days later, the Jumu County branch will select the leader of the Dharma lineage among all the Dharma practitioners."
"There are three places."
"You can seek asylum and try your luck."
"It's a pity that we haven't seen the peaceful and prosperous age described by the Archmage yet." Chen Zhengcai said sadly, patted Zhang Cheng on the shoulder and said: "Go and see for me, the peace that we have worked hard for."
These were the last words left to him by Chen Zhengcai.
Zhang Cheng not only gained a body of cultivation and a Dharma Master's talisman, but he also gained a powerful evil spirit that was fused into a wood carving and clay sculpture of incense, which was captured by the Dharma Master Chen Zhengcai as a Dharma Protector.
"Separate altars, Dharma leader?"
With a red ribbon tied on his head and a large amount of red on his Taoist robe, Zhang Cheng set out on the road to Senzhou Branch. As Chen Zhengcai said, he just wanted to try his luck and then go to Xuzhou.
The Mori Prefecture Branch was very large, bigger than he imagined. There were tens of thousands of believers gathered here, and the rich incense made him feel very comfortable.
The military and civilians of Jumu County are integrated, and the entire county is basically under the control of Chitianhui. The Demon-Jiang Yamen sitting here has already made an agreement with the Archmage, and the so-called pursuit is just a show.
This made the Jiangmo Yamen in other counties and cities very unhappy.
"Who is coming?"
The person blocking him was a monk wearing a red headband.
"Dharma Master, Zhang Cheng."
"Dharma?!"
"What a young Dharma Master."
"How come I haven't seen this Dharma Master before?"
"Is he the lawmaker of our forest state?"
"That should be the case. It seems that he will participate in the competition for the leader of the Dharma lineage."
Until Zhang Cheng walked away, there were still voices of discussion behind him. He looked indeed very young, and he himself was not very old. His cultivation was obtained from Chen Zhengcai, and he did not acquire it slowly.
After hearing what they were talking about, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but speed up his pace a bit.
…
Seven days have passed since Chi Xuan sent out the talisman message.
Chambers of commerce across seventeen states have shrunk back.
Those properties that can be sold at a low price will be sold at a low price, and those that cannot be sold at a low price will be left to be taken care of by believers who do not want to leave.
The escorts of the escort agency took off their robes and put on talisman armor, instantly becoming an armored team.
There should have been half a month or even a month of preparation time, but unfortunately time waits for no one.
The imperial court reacted too quickly, and various states and counties intercepted a large number of believers who were transported to Xuzhou, and many Dharma practitioners died. Even the Dharma leader lost two people.
After waiting for four days, the shrinking forces have gradually returned.
It is also time to hold a grand uprising ceremony.
The main altar of Chitianhui is established in Juling County.
This is the dojo of Chi Tianjun, and it is also a relatively central location in Xuzhou, which can effectively communicate with the remaining five counties.
There are more than sixty leaders of the Chitian Society gathered here.
These are the people Chi Xuan thinks are capable of taking on big responsibilities.
A ceremony to worship heaven will be held today.
Thirty-six red sky warriors, whose upper bodies were as solid as heavy armor and whose lower bodies were like smoke and dust, kicked up a large amount of dust, rolled it into a foundation stone and threw it to the school grounds of Juling County, whereupon a nine-foot-high platform appeared.
On the high platform, Chi Xuan enshrined the soul flag at the front.
Zhang Xuhun's banner flutters in the wind.
Under the high platform, the person leading the front is also Chi Xuan's current team member.
Zhou Hui, Li Yuanzhen, He San, Li Asheng, Zhao Jiang, Chu Ge, Gu Ming, the Demon-Conquering School Captain of the Three Counties, Xu Bo, Yu Wenhong, Lei Zheng, Chong Pang, Zhang Cheng, and more than ten listeners in Chiyang Palace,
The people from Xuzhou Yamen who were subsequently recruited.
Except for the monks from the Demon-Conquering Yamen, the others are monks who have received ordination from the Incense Path.
Each cultivation level is enough to be unique.
When facing Zhen Xiu, Chi Xuan told them about Taiping and at the same time took out a large number of spiritual stones, which was regarded as hiring them to help.
Chi Xuan does not need the other party to surrender to him.
In fact, even Chi Xuan, the monk who conferred the nun, did not feel that he was surrendering to him.
They are all fellow Taoists who work hard for a peaceful and prosperous age. It's just that they play different roles in their different positions.
Just like Zhou Hui, he controls the overall situation of Xuzhou and arranges the internal and external arrangements in an orderly manner.
What's more important is that Zhou Hui is not emotional.
Nothing can stop the completion of the great cause, even his younger brother was transferred to a casual position. Unsuitable people will not be assigned to inappropriate positions just because of distance.
Li Yuanzhen is in charge of the trading logistics of the Chitian Society, preparing enough supplies for the meeting and arranging food and fodder.
Although it looks like a small court, Chi Xuan actually has no ambition to control the world. He feels that the common people without the rule of monks as mentioned by the Demon King are what the people should aspire to.
If the gap in strength is too great, monks and mortals will become more polarized, and in the end it will just be the birth of another Great Cang Dynasty.
Standing in front of the soul flag, Chi Xuan cleared all his thoughts.
After sorting out his emotions and walking forward, golden talismans emerged from the soul flags, forming a huge banner in the sky.
"Pindao, Zhang Tianbao, offer sacrifices to heaven and earth."
"The current imperial court is unruly and has plunged the world into chaos. Demons are rampant, ghosts are tyrannical, and the people are in trouble..."
"In order to help the world and save the common people, please ask the Lord God to cover the decaying sky with red sky..."
"..."
"The God is merciful and saves the world. He only wishes for peace and usher in a prosperous age."
"I only wish for peace and prosperity!"
"..."
"Best regards, Lord God!"
The huge body of Chi Tianjun sat on the high altar, sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform and twisting the magic seals. The incense and aspiration power in Xuzhou quickly gathered, forming a long river of red incense in the sky.
"The king of gods comes to the world, and peace is coming."
Chi Xuan turned into a stream of light and merged into Chi Tianjun's divine body.
Godless eyes condensed with light, watching the people gathered around him, whether they were people with lofty ideals or those relying on the general trend, he said loudly: "The leaders of each dharma lineage come forward."
"Your Majesty!"
With a command, the leader of the altar came out.
Chi Tianjun sacrificed his seal to divide his own power and turned it into an incense urn to bless the power of the Dharma leader.
Ensure that they condense their own Dharma body and enhance their strength again.
Zhou Hui and other people who have lived in Juling County for a long time were the first to follow Chi Xuan and have already achieved great results. They did not need to fight with other magicians to get the title of leader. They also knew the content of this ceremony long ago.
The six counties of Xuzhou accounted for more than half of the total, and the remaining half were elected from various states and counties.
Those who received the incense basket from Chi Xuan personally were Dharma Masters, or like Zhang Cheng, other Dharma Masters passed their incense baskets to him, and then those who relied on the simple method of gathering incense to become incense monks became Dharma Masters.
Select the more powerful monks from so many magicians and let them lead the talisman soldiers to attack the city and capture the territory.
Except for a few Dharma leaders, other Dharma capitals have come step by step. Each of them has established a sub-chamber with the support of the church and has strong cultivation and commanding abilities.
There are so many naturally famous generals, it is enough to have such abilities and then cultivate them.
"Weekly response orders."
"I'm here."
"With your 50,000 troops, we will capture Julu County within seven days."
"Here."
"..."
"Li Asheng takes the order."
Li Asheng bowed his hands and said in a long voice: "The end will be here."
"Thirty thousand soldiers and horses with you."
"We will capture Jugu County within ten days."
"Li Yuanzhen listens to orders."
"I'm here."
"Twenty thousand elites are staying in Xuzhou, and you are qualified to recruit troops."
"Follow the order!"
"..."
"The rest of the troops followed Pindao and marched out of Xiguan to capture Lizhou!"
Chi Tianjun slowly stood up and pulled up the Soul Reverence Flag. Under the urging of the magic power, the Soul Reverence Flag turned into an eighteen-foot-long figure in the wind, and the huge flag covered the sky and the sun.
