Volume 4: The Rise of the Dragon Chapter 374: The Mysterious Chief Escort
He Lin did not question why the chief escort did not mention the promotion of his rank. Because he knew that the chief escort knew clearly and did not forget it intentionally, but it was unnecessary. Because the escort agency spared no effort to win over the innate warriors as long as he showed up.
If you can become an innate warrior after a pass, you will definitely be noticed by the management of the escort agency, and then your level will naturally increase.
The innate warrior is a being who is stronger than the average cultivator in the Qi training period. Even if the escort bureau has great prospects in various cultivation sects, he will at least be given the rank of a senior escort leader. He is qualified to sit in charge of a party.
The dignitaries of the officers of the local sub-rudder are no less powerful than the senior officials of the imperial court. Even they are on an equal footing with the mysterious enshrinement officials of the escort bureau. Only such strong men can suppress the low-level demons around the sub-rudder and stabilize the escort bureau.
status.
In troubled times, only strength is fundamental. As long as you have strength, you can get money, status, beauty and dignity! Although it is not a troubled world now, demons are raging, and people are killed by demons at any time. It is not much better than in troubled times. The demons will not care about you.
What is your identity, your status, how much money you have, and how beautiful you are. If you encounter someone, you will kill them all. Only the real power, the most fundamental strength, can protect you before you have the life to obtain other things.
This concept is even more vividly displayed in the Demonic Disaster. No matter how bad his character is, no matter how ugly he is, no matter how stupid his mind is, he can still get good respect and preferential treatment. As long as he does not commit any crime or openly defy the law of the court.
If you follow the unspoken rules of the world of cultivation, you will definitely live a good life. Although He Lin has not made enough contributions to the escort agency to be promoted to a high-level escort chief, but he has broken through to a higher realm between life and death and is expected to enter the innate realm.
It's enough for the chief escort to give him good weapons and elixirs without causing any objections from others! Even when he becomes an innate warrior, the escort will give him better treatment. This is the impact of demonic disasters on human society.
One of the impacts can be said to be either positive or negative.
"If the chief escort is fine, I will go back." He Lin tried his best to hold back the excitement in his heart and said as calmly as possible.
"Well, there is nothing else to do. You are a smart man and you don't need to ask me to tell you. You naturally know what to do in the best interests of yourself and the escort agency. I won't say more. Okay, take this and go get your things." Chief Escort
As soon as the voice of the head fell and no one was seen making a move, something flew out from the door. It drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed steadily in He Lin's outstretched hand.
He Lin took a closer look and saw that it was a cyan token with a pointed bottom. The entire body was made of a cyan spiritual wood as hard as steel. There was a big "order" engraved on the front, and below it was a small "jiao" surrounded by circles.
On the back of the cloud pattern is a dragon in the clouds that is vividly displayed and looks powerful, as if it is commanding power all over the world.
This is the identity token only owned by the senior head of the Yang Wei Escort Bureau. The token is engraved with the name of the high-ranking officer, which means that the high-ranking officer can use it to withdraw certain materials from the sect. It is also a symbol of status. For example, the name of the chief bodyguard is Yang.
Therefore, his token is simply engraved with the word "蛟".
I heard that this kind of token is very strong after being refined by the Master of the Worship Hall. It can store a certain amount of information, so it is often used as a tool to convey orders. He Lin has only seen it twice in his life. Once was three years ago around Yangzhou City.
Several high-level demons suddenly led tens of thousands of demons to besiege the towns surrounding Yangzhou City. He Lin was ordered to ask for help from the headquarters in one of the small towns, but what he got at that time was only a sub-ruler's token, which was far less sophisticated; there was another time like this.
times.
However, he did not immediately hold it in his hand and look at it carefully. Instead, he put the token into his arms, bowed respectfully to the thatched cottage and said, "Then, my subordinates, please leave." Then he took a few steps back and turned around and left.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill can wash people's essence, cut down their marrow, and improve their system. The Spirit Cleansing Pill can replenish spiritual energy for the body. After refining and absorbing it, it can increase one's skill. These are all very helpful in breaking through bottlenecks. Before these two pills, he was seventy percent sure of his success.
If he swallows these two pills, he will be able to break through to the innate realm within half a year. He is very sure that he will be able to break through to the innate realm within three months!
Through the door of the thatched cottage, you can see that the thatched cottage is divided into two rooms, the inside and the outside. The interior is very simple. There is a straw mat on the ground in the inner room, and next to it is a bookshelf. There are volumes of new or old books. If there is someone,
You will definitely be surprised when you see the titles of these books: "Spring and Autumn", "Historical Records", "The Analects of Confucius", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "The Book of Songs", "Tao Te Ching", "Book of Changes" and so on. The titles of these books are completely familiar to ordinary Confucians or scholars.
I couldn't find any books on training techniques. It didn't look like the study of a powerful warrior and the head of a bodyguard bureau.
The outer room is larger. There is a desk under the middle wall. On the desk is a glazed oil lamp burning a bright candle. Although the flame is small, the light it emits is very strange. It not only condenses but also penetrates.
The sparse straw and wooden boards illuminate the originally dim main room very brightly. To the left of the lamp is an ancient incense burner burning three sticks of incense. A light sandalwood scent lingers in the room, making it refreshing.
There is a huge "Tao" in running script hanging on the wall. The strokes are strong in traditional Chinese, and it reveals a spirit that makes people fascinated. There is a futon under the desk. A middle-aged man in white is sitting cross-legged and meditating. He has a square face.
He is not angry and has a majestic figure. His skin is yellowish with a warm color like topaz; his arms are long and his palms are half a foot wide. At this time, they are pinching into a seal, and there is a small sapphire-colored airflow surrounding the center of his hands. It is obvious that he
It’s Yang Jiao, the chief escort of Yang Wei Escort Bureau!
Half an hour later, he took a long breath and performed hand seals to transform the sapphire-colored airflow into two streams, which he inhaled into his nose. Then he slowly stopped and opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, his originally calm and intimidating face was even more breathtaking. It turned out that his pupils were actually cyan! It was not the cyan color of an alien race but a jasper-like cyan color. If you look closely, you can still see it.
From those blue pupils, you can see the endless blue sea and sky, as if there are great mountains and rivers waiting for you to explore and build. It will immediately make you want to conquer the world and aspire to expand the universe!
If a master of physiognomy were to see his face here, he would definitely exclaim "blue eyes and dragon eyes"!
This dragon eye refers to the eyes of the dragon. Legend has it that the dragon has mighty virtues and symbolizes auspiciousness, so it is often compared to heroes in the world. Many parts of it are also mythical. For example, the "blue eyes and dragon eyes" that are unique to this kind of dragon refer to those parts of the body.
Those who possess the aura of a true dragon and have the destiny of an emperor will have the characteristics. Moreover, such emperors must have a body of water virtue, so they will rise in a land with lots of water and then they will surely dominate the water.
Legend has it that Sun Quan, the founding emperor of Soochow during the Three Kingdoms period, had such a blue-eyed man with the true dragon destiny of Shui De. Therefore, he rose up in the south of the Yangtze River to train as a water master. He was secretly assisted by the Shui tribe, and later he was defeated at the right time and place in the Battle of Chibi.
Cao Cao's 800,000-strong army established the situation of three-thirds of the world in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, Sun Quan was only a mortal after all. Although he possessed the Water Virtue True Dragon destiny, he was unable to withstand all the original dragon energy and could only reveal a "blue-eyed dragon eye".
"The Wu State established because of this did not have a strong national destiny and was eventually destroyed by the Wei State supported by the devil.
But this man was actually born with a pair of complete "blue eyes and dragon eyes". Doesn't it mean that he is more noble than Sun Quan? How is this possible knowing that the Song Dynasty has unified the world and is prosperous? Even though Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was over six years old,
Even though the world suffered from demonic disasters, with the support of all parties and its own efforts, the Song Dynasty did not decline but had a tendency to become stronger as the war progressed; if you look at the capital of the Song Dynasty with Dharma eyes, you can see
The Dragon Qi Tianzhu that soars into the sky, is as stable and solid as a Tianzhu, and supports the sky and the earth. This also shows that the Qi of the Song Dynasty has not been exhausted but has become more stable.
Logically speaking, China's main dragon vein should not disperse and flow again to give birth to other people with the destiny of the emperor, because this is against the people's will and against the law of heaven. If they unite for a long time, they will divide, and if they divide for a long time, they will unite. They will continue to reincarnate and evolve in the chaos and great governance.
This is the general trend of the world. How can an entity like Longmai, who best embodies the general trend of the world, do something that goes against the trend?
Could this be caused by a demonic disaster or a conspiracy of the devil?
"The barrier between heaven and man is becoming more and more unstable, and the vulnerability of the plane barrier in the human world is becoming more and more fragile. Nowadays, monsters are becoming more and more frequent. This time, the forest near the city that has just been cleaned up a few months ago is actually showing up with monsters coming from the sky. That wilderness
It is conceivable that demons will overflow in deeper areas. If too many demons gather and are led by high-level demons, various places may experience another demonic wave. This is not good~~~~~~The imperial court has just stabilized the country.
If order suffers too much loss in this demonic tide, it will definitely cause a lot of chaos. Although this is more conducive to the development of the Escort Bureau, it will also trigger a deeper crisis~~~~~~The Righteous Path and the Cultivators Who Touched
What are they thinking? What plans do they have? Can our goal really be achieved?"
Yang Jiao said to himself, then looked at his hands carefully, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and then he clenched his fists hard, "No matter what, as long as you have a firm foundation and fully grasp your own strength, wait for that wonderful opportunity, and seize the rest."
It depends on your luck!" After saying that, he fell into deep thought again.
What did he mean by what he said? What kind of strength did he have, and what was the wonderful opportunity he mentioned? What is his true identity? Unfortunately, his words did not reveal more meaning, but it can be seen
His attitude towards the imperial court was not hostile but vaguely dependent on it.
The city of Yangzhou is still prosperous. Even due to the evil disasters in recent years, the imperial court and local people have spent money and efforts to expand the city outwards. It has been built larger and stronger. It has also attracted many displaced people, wealthy families who fled, and some outsiders.
Martial arts people. With a large population, various places that require labor naturally recruit people vigorously. Moreover, due to the imperial decree, merchants and business establishments do not dare to exploit civilians, so the employment conditions they offer are relatively loose. And those civilians who have lost almost all their property and are completely destitute for
I don’t care too much about having enough to eat, and I’m not picky about my job. As long as I can have enough to eat and have some spare money to raise a family, that’s all.
In this way, both parties are willing to hire each other, thus absorbing a large number of idle people and stabilizing the order in the city. When there are more people in the city, the number of people eating will naturally increase. The demand for food has greatly increased, and the grain merchants in various places are making a lot of money, and they are buying in large quantities.
Food from all over the country is constantly being transported to Yangzhou, but it still cannot fully meet the needs of the tens of millions of people in Yangzhou City and its surrounding towns. In addition, it is very difficult to grow and transport food during the disaster. Therefore, despite the government's efforts to stabilize food prices,
Prices Food prices are still rising slowly.
Although the imperial court has developed several fast-growing carnivorous monsters, cheap meat is still more expensive than food. Most poor common people still cannot afford to eat and can only go hungry. Now everywhere in the imperial court
In addition to the grain and livestock grown and raised by farmers and military camps, as well as the fish caught by fishermen, most of the food was arranged by the imperial court and offered to people who were proficient in wood magic and had a certain understanding of planting. They chose places to use magic to ripen.
A foundation-building monk who practices wood-attribute skills can ripen ten acres of grain in one day, allowing them to mature quickly in one day and produce an output of one thousand stone per mu, which solves the food gap to a great extent.
However, doing so not only consumes the cultivator's mana and requires a large amount of elixirs and spiritual stones to replenish it, but the fertility and spiritual energy of the land itself are limited. If consumed indefinitely at this rate, it will overdraw the useful life of the land, reduce the life of the land, and damage the foundation.
Even the best fields will become barren and unable to grow crops in just two years. Even vigorous cultivation afterwards will cost a hundred times more. Therefore, this method that goes against the laws of nature is not a long-term solution.
However, it is said that the "Department of Animal Weaving" has now separated some personnel and worked with the capable personnel of the Agriculture Department of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development to study some mutated magical grains and grains in order to develop the kind that can grow quickly like monsters only by washing hands and receiving enough light and heat.
Crops that are more productive and easier to grow. If they succeed, they will be able to solve the problem of food for the people. With this hope and the vigorous publicity of the court and the successful examples of magic birds and other carnivorous monsters, the people can still tolerate it.
Given the current difficult conditions, grain merchants dare not hoard and drive up prices for fear that they will lose money one day when the grain problem is solved.
But after all, people don’t just have to eat. They have to spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation. Although most of the people are poor and cannot afford to buy anything, they can’t handle the large number of people. In Yangzhou alone, there are less than one million people living in it, which is almost the next generation.
The population of a medium-sized city. Such huge purchasing power naturally gave birth to many consumer industries, in addition to traditional hotels, inns, pawn shops, cloth shops, wineries, brothels, pharmacies, car dealerships, tooth shops, boat shops, iron shops, and gold shops.
Shop~~~~~~Wait, etc. In addition to the three religions and nine streams, the Five Elements and Eight Works, there are many new industries that have been reborn due to demonic disasters and the appearance of cultivators.
For example, a buying shop opened by low-level cultivators to collect demon crystals, bones, fur and other body materials; a demon training studio opened by a cultivator who knows several spells and exercises and capable of processing monsters and cultivation materials; a demon training room opened by a warrior
Martial arts halls that teach martial arts; churches and temples built by clergy to provide treatment and faith; Taoist temples and temples built by Buddhist and Taoist cultivators to recruit disciples to work part-time in small markets;
As well as professional unions started by various professionals, such as unions composed of warriors who purely practice martial arts; those whose bodies are mutated after being infected by demonic energy or spiritual energy, but can maintain their normal appearance and personality, but have super strength, and call themselves god masters.
The Divine Masters Guild composed of mutants; and the Demon Hunters Guild, which has networked most warriors and divine masters and even some practitioners to publish tasks related to demon disasters and hunting monsters, similar to Western mercenary unions;
Trade unions composed of various craftsmen, such as the pharmaceutical union, the carpenters union, the fur union, the brothel union, the blacksmith union, the grain union, the merchant union, etc. are all unions that can affect social order, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and of course some of the lifeline industries.
For example, trade unions such as blacksmithing, grain, and commerce were strictly controlled by the imperial court, and commissioners were dispatched to prevent them from causing disturbances that would affect social order and imperial rule.
"Brother Fujii, every time I return to these cities in various places and see the faces that are relaxed because they are out of danger, I feel how meaningful what I have done is a sense of satisfaction that rises in my heart and fills my whole body.
I'm so motivated! What about you?" Yongshin couldn't help but said to Fujii as he walked side by side with Fujii on the streets of Yangzhou City and looked at the dense flow of people on the street.
"'All living beings are God's shepherds, and the priests and shepherds should love, protect, and shepherd God's sheep to prevent them from suffering disasters.' Are you satisfied with this answer?" Fujii gave him a blank look.
explain.
"~~~~~~This is what the priests and the priests of your Onmyoji often say, okay, you are an Onmyoji!" Yongxin's face clearly said "I don't believe it."
