Chapter 335: Heavenly elixir, ordering troops and generals
In the evening.
Snowflakes like catkins were carried by the cold wind and flew down one after another.
Tie Tang walked out of the county government office and walked on the streets of Qingshui. He looked up at the snowflakes that looked like silvery-white butterflies, dancing and singing in the air.
"The auspicious snow heralds a new year, and your hard work will pay off!"
He walked slowly towards the Iron Mansion, watching the people going about their business.
The New Year is approaching, and many people have begun to prepare New Year's goods, walking around the busy city with their wives and children, their faces filled with joy, but underneath they are filled with sorrow.
The people in Qingshui City are much better off than in Yuncheng.
But as someone who has been weak for a long time, Tie Tang knows that they are far from happy and healthy, and there are mountains weighing on everyone's head.
These mountains are called government, called families, called classes, and called powerful. The huge gap within them cannot be filled even by the vast ocean.
"Although a good year is auspicious, so will things happen in a good year. If there is clear water but there is poverty, it is not appropriate to have too much auspiciousness."
Tie Tang whispered ancient poems, and the energy and blood all over his body turned into countless small needles, scattering in all directions.
Dong dong dong......
From the eaves, alleys, wine shops, teahouses, shops, figures fell down one after another.
"If you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work!"
"What cats and dogs dare to spy on me? Let me tell those behind you that next time... I will personally visit you."
Return to Iron Mansion.
Tie Tang summoned everyone and gathered around a table.
"Tie Long, Tie Hu, Tie Niu, you three brothers come here."
The three people immediately stood up and stepped forward: "Sir, what are your orders?"
Tie Tang took a sip from his tea cup and said softly: "I am a loner, and I only have so many friends here.
Now that you are in charge of a county, you must have people you can trust.
The three of you are considered blood relatives to me.
In this way, select a few of your sons and daughters who you think are good enough, and I plan to let them serve in the military and take charge."
The three brothers knew that their day of great success was coming.
They used to do a prosperous business in Guangjiang County, but they were still restricted everywhere. If it weren't for Tie Long, Tie Hu would have been eaten up to the point where no bones were left.
Without a family background and without the backing of the government, no matter how big the business is, he is just a businessman, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is precarious.
Now that Tie Tang wants to give them power, that is, they have an official status, it will be completely different from now on.
Tie Long was so excited that his body trembled: "Sir, how about my three brothers go there in person? The children under my command are really a little helpless."
Tie Tang was surprised and said: "You have more than a dozen children per person, but how many of you are worthy of being on the stage?
Others have to take care of this matter. You stay with me, I have other uses."
Tie Long and Tie Hu are both monks in the ancient witch realm. Although their strength is average, they are witches after all and can be used to great effect.
Even Tieniu, because he has obtained the Divine Realm Pill, can break into the secret realm of the Divine Witch just around the corner.
Although there is only one word difference between the Secret Realm of Divine Witch and the Secret Realm of Wuji, they are worlds apart.
Tie Long was still hesitant for fear of missing Tie Tang's big event, but Tie Hu finally made the decision.
"Sir, how about we call out the children and you choose? Whichever one you want to use, no questions asked."
"Okay, you can call them out and let everyone help you take a look." There are also Tianwen, Li Geng, Wu Congyun, Fang Lexian and others here, and their vision is more powerful than the last.
At this time, when the three brothers went to gather people, Tianwen Big Mouth had already begun.
"Tietou, your family is all named Tie. That guy Tiehu has a son who is not bad. He has average qualifications, but he is honest and well-prepared for everything he is asked to do.
If you let this person choose and arrange it, you will be right."
Tie Tang frowned and shook his head slowly: "The elders and younger ones are in order. The leader must be a descendant of Tie Long, not a member of Tie Hu."
"What do you mean, if you have the ability, you should step forward." Tian Wen was obviously dissatisfied.
"There are many capable people, but not everyone can come forward. If there are people with outstanding qualifications among them, I can select them and use them for other purposes.
If not...then no matter how capable you are, it will be limited.
At this time, we have to rank based on seniority. Otherwise, it won’t be a problem in a short period of time. However, over time, some people will be dissatisfied. The gap in life under my hands will be difficult for me.
The three brothers all relied on Iron Dragon to make their fortune in the early days, and their role cannot be ignored."
"Where did you learn such a routine? Why haven't you seen it before?"
Bi Qi laughed and explained for him: "Brother Tang was born as a hunter and worked his way up step by step. If you have never experienced these things, I'm afraid it will be difficult to figure it out for a while."
"If you insert so many people at once, I'm afraid you will squeeze out a lot of positions, and will it cause dissatisfaction among others?" Wang Andao was a little worried.
"I took a quick look at the military establishment. It's not full strength. It should be because Qingshui City's financial resources cannot support so many soldiers.
This is one of them!
The second is that there are many corrupt people in the army, and I am afraid there are not a few children from aristocratic families who are living on empty pay. Those moths will be eradicated one by one after I set up a big formation.
With the current manpower...it's just too few, not too many."
While everyone was talking, the three brothers had already walked over with fifty-six men and women from Wuyangyang.
These people include not only their children, but also their grandchildren.
In terms of age, he is much older than many people present.
If Tie Tang and Tian Wen, who were only twenty years old, were put into the group, they would probably have to stand at the back of the queue.
Tie Long, Tie Hu, and Tie Niu stood aside to make way for the children.
"Call sir!"
Tie Tang waved his hand: "Okay, don't do these vain things, everyone stands still and puts on the usual air of practicing, and I will take a look at your skills."
Among this group of people, there is not even a seventh-grade talent. In the eyes of Tie Tang, Tian Wen, Li Geng and others, they are really looking down on them.
Purple light flowed in Tie Tang's eyes, and everyone's aura was revealed, unable to escape his eyes.
After counting interest.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
He restrained the purple light and really couldn't do it.
Only then did he realize how difficult it is to build a family. It doesn't just require people, it also requires cultivating talents so that they can be put to great use.
"Everyone, you have lived here for a while and know more than me. Why don't you give me some recommendations?
Tie Long, you three brothers can also speak freely."
The three brothers waved their hands in succession, and no one recommended anyone.
For them, the children they give birth to are naturally their treasures. Whichever they choose will leave others in the cold, so it would be better not to choose at all.
Without thinking, Tianwen waved to one of the nine-foot-tall men.
"Jingshan, come here."
"Yes, Master." Tie Jingshan couldn't hide his excitement and walked out under the envious eyes of the other brothers and sisters.
Obviously, before arriving, Tielong and the others had told them their intentions.
"Go to him." Tianwen pointed at Tie Tang.
Tie Jingshan bowed and walked quickly to Tie Tang: "Sir!"
"We are all blood relatives. Tielong, Tiehu, and Tieniu and I are all friends of the same generation. From now on, you can call me uncle."
Tie Jingshan shook his head repeatedly: "I don't dare!"
Tie Tang patted him on the shoulder: "It doesn't matter, we are all a family. If you help me in the future, remember not to be arrogant and domineering and bully the people, otherwise I will not show mercy."
"Yes, uncle, Jingshan will definitely follow the rules and not dare to take a step beyond his bounds."
Except for Tianwen who picked one person, no one else recommended him, so Tie Tang had no choice but to pick someone himself.
"Tie Long, who is your eldest son?"
"Cheng'an, hurry up and get out of the queue."
An honest and elegant middle-aged man in his forties quickly walked up to Tie Tang and knelt down.
"Cheng'an pays homage to your lord."
Tie Tang held him up with both hands, looked at everyone and said: "The elders and younger ones are in order, the superiors and the inferiors are equal, which is the blessing of a family. It cannot be established without proper etiquette.
From now on, when your father and I are no longer together, everything will be at his will, do you understand?"
Everyone nodded, and no one dared to raise objections.
"How old are you this year?"
Tie Chengan responded honestly: "My nephew is seventy-three this year."
"Tie Long gave birth to you when he was forty or fifty years old? Is this considered fast or slow?"
Tie Cheng'an didn't dare to speak ill of his father and stayed there, but Tie Hu spoke up to help him out.
"Sir, my eldest brother didn't settle down until he was fifty years old. At that time, his cultivation was getting better and he started to start a family and start a business.
In fact, for witchcraft monks...it is still relatively early to have a child at the age of fifty."
The person present who had the most experience was Fang Lexian, who also added a sentence.
"Brother, among us monks, there are many who are hundreds or even a thousand years old and have not gotten married or had children.
You gave birth to more than a dozen babies like their three breeding cows, and that’s already considered too much.
Generally speaking.
The more powerful a witch is, the more difficult it is for him to find a suitable partner. Unless he is only looking for ordinary women, it is not uncommon to find an antique that is thousands of years old."
Tie Tang asked curiously: "Does it mean that the stronger the parents are, the higher the qualifications of their offspring will be?"
"You can basically say this, but it doesn't necessarily mean everything."
"Even if both parents are top-notch parents, there is no guarantee that the offspring will be top-notch, but it should not be difficult to at least get a guarantee of level seven or eight.
Relatively speaking, the higher the strength and qualifications of the parents, the higher the possibility that their offspring will be born at the peak of their abilities.
This is why people from aristocratic families rarely marry ordinary people."
Tianwen beamed when he heard this and joked: "This is interesting, Tietou, who are your parents?"
"My parents are just mortals." Tie Tang shook his head gently.
He knew that if he had not arrived, his predecessor's qualifications would be just like that, maybe not even seventh grade, but only around fourth or fifth grade, or even lower.
Let’s talk.
Tie Tang became interested in Tianwen and Li Geng again: "Great monk, Taoist priest, what kind of cultivation are your parents?"
"My parents were ignorant and threw me at the gate of Daleiyin Temple. I was an orphan picked up by a monk. I don't know who they are." Tianwen's tone was cheerful, but there was a hint of sadness.
Li Geng was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "My parents are both Taoist immortals!"
"Awesome!"
"Awesome."
"As expected of a cow, cow."
"The Taoist priest's family has a long history, and a tiger father has no dog sons."
.......
Everyone praised him repeatedly, and even Tie Tang was impressed. He didn't expect that Li Geng had a big background.
There should not be many cases where both parents are immortals. At least Li Geng is the first person he knows.
Facing the praise from everyone, Li Geng seemed to have remembered some bad memories and looked gloomy.
"The hearts of immortals and gods are like those of heaven and humans. If they change places, I'm afraid you won't be happy."
Every family has its own problems, and many things are not as beautiful as they seem.
Tietang's muscles and bones surged, and his energy and blood turned into a real dragon and emerged outside the body.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. My hands are itchy right now, so I will show you my methods today."
He sat still, the blood-red dragon was like a real substance, entwining Tie Chengan and Tie Jingshan.
Thick, sharp dragon claws pressed against the Dantian and spine of the two people, making the iron dragon and iron tiger's eyelids twitch wildly.
"In ancient times, there was a real person who held the heaven and the earth, grasped the yin and yang, breathed the essence, and guarded the spirit independently. His muscles were like one, so he could cover the heaven and the earth for a long time, and there was no end.
You have all entered the secret realm of witchcraft, and your qualifications have been solidified. It is difficult to open acupuncture points, but I have another method that can open ninety-nine or eighty-one apertures.
The opening of the orifice can enable you to open your root-nature, condense the divine light, and use it to reach all the lower levels. This is the light-returning magical power of the heavenly elixir method. It was created by an old friend of mine. It is enough to improve your qualifications.
Relax your mind, don’t resist, just imagine that you are in the sea and clouds, riding on clouds and cranes, and being at ease.”
"Yes, uncle!" The two of them agreed at the same time, each relaxed his mind, relaxed his skin and muscles, and stretched his muscles and bones.
Tie Tang's mind moved, and the dragon's claw touched the Baihui acupoint of the two of them. Their tongues touched the roof of their mouths, and they made a 'click' sound unconsciously.
"The first orifice, the top orifice will lead to hundreds of experiences."
The dragon's claw moved again, and with one flick, it hit the two people in the center of their eyebrows. After the flick, both of them exhaled a long line of white turbid air.
"The second aperture is the mind aperture and the third eye."
The real dragon swims, its scales rattle, and its strong blood dissolves the snowflakes falling from the sky, turning into drops of rain falling on the ground.
"The third orifice, the divine orifice jade pillow."
"The four orifices are Jianggongtanzhong, the five orifices are the spine, the six orifices are the gate of life, the seven orifices are the sea of qi, the eight orifices are the tail, and the nine orifices are the perineum..."
The speed of the dragon's claws is getting faster and faster, and the dragon's head looks directly at the two of them, letting out bursts of dragon roars.
Tie Tang has never used this method. This is the heavenly elixir method taught by the Thirteenth Lang of Nanhai. In fact, it has no effect on himself or Tie Tang, Tian Wen, and Li Geng.
Originally, the Thirteenth Prince of Nanhai saw the suffering of the world and was limited by his talents and talents, so he found a new way to create a method that could improve the qualifications of others in disguised form.
This technique has very high requirements for the caster. It requires a lot of physical attainments and strong eyesight to open ninety-nine or eighty-one orifices without hurting anyone.
Tie Tang has penetrated a thousand acupuncture points, and when it comes to physical attainments, no one here can surpass him. It is easy to perform this method. He has long wanted to try this method.
Bo! Bo! Bo!
With the sound of a series of orifices opening and muscles and bones shaking, all ninety-nine and eighty-one orifices opened, the Blood Dragon disappeared, and the two of them landed on the ground.
Tie Chengan was originally in the Dragon Yuan realm, with a fourth-level talent. Compared with Tie Tang at the same time, his physical body was like glass or porcelain, and was vulnerable.
However, as soon as he landed on the ground, he felt full of energy and blood, and all the bones in his body were itchy, as if there were countless ants crawling inside, but he did not feel too uncomfortable.
He knew that this was a strange phenomenon caused by the rapid birth of bone marrow. A gush of new blood was pouring out, constantly washing away his internal organs that were beginning to age.
All the gray hair fell out, and the dark hair quickly grew back.
His teeth became loose, then fell off one by one like jelly beans, and then grew back into a cavity of white teeth as flat as snow.
The vitality of heaven and earth gathered rapidly, turning his witchcraft power, which was originally only the size of a finger, into a trickling stream and still growing rapidly.
As for Tiejingshan, who also enjoyed the magic of the immortal elixir, all kinds of strange phenomena were even more horrifying. Black and red blood began to ooze from all the pores around his body, and a large amount of new blood was rapidly transformed in his body.
The old blood is replaced by the new, like an immortal.
He tightened the flesh on his arm casually, and then suddenly let go. A big tendon was twitched by him, and when it bounced back, it made a roaring sound, as if someone was playing a string inside him.
Tie Jingshan exclaimed: "My physical body is at least twice as strong as before. What speed is this?"
The overly strong physical body made both of them uncomfortable. They could not even stand firmly and were swaying in place, like a ship sailing in a rough sea.
Tian Wen applauded and praised: "What a great method. If I were to use it...the two of them would have exploded their muscles and bones at the thirty-third acupoint, their blood would have flowed backwards, and they would have rushed to their brains and died."
Li Geng teased: "Monk can't do it. I can at least hold on to the sixty-two acupoints before they explode and die because I can't coordinate the whole body."
They have also received part of the inheritance from the Thirteenth Lang of the South China Sea, and they know this heavenly elixir method, but they don't have the slightest confidence to dare to use it on others.
Hearing these two sentences, Tie Long and Tie Hu trembled, fearing that their son would suddenly explode at the next moment, so they looked at Tie Tang for help.
"Don't worry, there are specialties in the art, how can the two of them compare with me in the physical way?"
"Tch!" Tian Wen disdained, and Li Geng also looked up at the sky, pretending not to hear.
After a while.
After Tie Chengan and Tie Jingshan got used to it a little, they knelt down in front of Tie Tang and thanked them for their kindness.
Tie Tang helped them up one by one: "Your strength will improve in a short period of time. If you feel that your mood is unbalanced, you can come to me or other people present. Don't force yourself to hold on."
"Yes, uncle, we can understand."
"That's it, you brothers will go back and discuss things, and then pick out eight people, making a total of ten people.
Later I will put you into the army, starting with the corps commander, don't let me down."
The two thanked each other profusely, and finally left with their brothers and sisters.
Tie Tang really doesn't like the others. He believes that Tie Chengan and Tie Jingshan know better how much they are capable of and what kind of person they are. It would be more accurate for them to choose.
Moreover, with two people checking and balancing each other, instead of one person being in charge, selfishness can be eliminated, making the result more fair and convincing to the other brothers.
With these people as a base, Tie Tang looked at the others.
"Aunt Wu, your strength has been fully restored. I want to hand over the Arsenal Army to you, and give you full authority to ensure the security of Qingshui City. What do you think?"
The army is divided into camps. Under normal circumstances, many of them will not enter the city.
The only troops stationed in the city on weekdays are the Arsenal Army.
The most important duty of the arsenal town army is to guard the arsenal!
The arsenal contains all the military equipment in a city and is the top priority.
The troops that go out of the city for training on weekdays will only carry one-tenth of the equipment used in war, and the remaining 90% of the equipment is in the arsenal.
If you want to seize the city and rebel, seizing the arsenal is the only way to go. No matter what the purpose is, it cannot be bypassed.
Therefore, the arsenal is as heavy as Mount Tai. There are dedicated soldiers guarding it all year round, and there are also experts who sit in it.
If a city's arsenal is lost, it basically means that the city has fallen.
Tie Tang handed over the arsenal town army to Wu Congyun, showing his absolute trust in her.
"I have no experience in leading troops, and I have just recovered from old wounds, so I may not be able to convince the public." Wu Congyun did not agree immediately, but raised his own question.
Her qualifications are extremely high, mid-level ninth grade, only weaker than characters like Li Qingwan. Coupled with her cultivation strength in the Zhu Wu Realm, she can basically sweep through the same realm and rarely encounter an opponent.
Tie Tang also took this into consideration, and he really didn't have the right manpower around him.
"It doesn't matter if you give it a try. I'll give you some ideas on how to lead the troops in training."
Tian Wen touched his bald head with a look of disbelief on his face: "Tietou...you can still train troops?"
"I don't dare to say that I will, but it's okay to talk on paper. We'll see the actual results when the time comes." Tie Tang didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Wu Congyun didn't refuse anymore: "Okay, let's give it a try. If I can't do it, you can change it at any time."
Tie Tang nodded indifferently.
Whether he has ability or not is one thing, but the most important thing is whether he can be trusted. He has made up his mind anyway and it is impossible to replace him.
Just when everyone thought Tie Tang was about to order his troops and generals, they saw him standing up, forming two large golden hand seals, one on the left and one on the right to ask Tianwen, and Li Geng took him over.
"Both..."
"I have a road in the city. It's a bit risky, but it's fun and exciting.
As the saying goes, ‘To be happy in life, you must have all the fun’, I wonder if you have the courage to give it a try?”
"It's so fun, why don't you go?"
"Hey, I'm not incapable of taking this road. I only have one reason for you two.
I just want to see how brave you two are...how big they are!"
