From the Wuling Clan back to the Utopia, we took the human race's way. With my position in the South Cave Hall and Zhou Yin accompanying me, we encountered no obstacles along the way. In less than a month, we returned to Wuling.
Sin City.
This time we returned in triumph, so Lu Zheng helped us hold a welcome ceremony to celebrate our victory in helping the Wuling Tribe.
I know that my wonderful performance in the Wuling Tribe has been spread back to the Utopia.
Back in Wuwangsui City, I briefly learned about the situation in the city. After confirming that nothing major happened, I called Lu Zheng to my government affairs hall in the city lord's mansion and asked him where I could get a Taoist crossbow.
Regarding the cannon, Lu Zheng said: "Those kind of things are the most popular among the human race, but they are contraband and generally difficult to buy. Not to mention that we are in the Utopia now, and the human race's weapons dealers are even more afraid to sell them to them.
We have it, and unless we make it ourselves, it’s hard for us to get it.”
I asked if it would be easy to make.
Lu Zheng said: "Then we need mechanical magicians. I'm afraid we don't have any in the city. If we first train a group of mechanical magicians, then study the manufacturing methods of ballistae, and then manufacture ballistae, it will take us at least three or four years."
, even longer, and the cost will be high."
Thinking of this, I turned to look at Zhou Yin and said, "What if I can use my connections to get a batch of Taoist crossbows?"
Zhou Yin smiled and said: "It's natural for the master to speak, but I'm afraid the number won't be too many. After all, this is a utopia."
I asked how many at most.
Zhou Yin said: "There can't be more than a thousand, but the owner still needs to pay for it!"
I said: "The cost is easy to talk about!"
After hearing the conversation between me and Zhou Yin, Lu Zheng couldn't help but said in surprise: "Equip us with a thousand Taoist ballistae? You must know that a human race's ballistae legion only has five hundred. If it is a thousand,
Enough for us to equip two ballista corps!"
I nodded, and Lu Zheng added: "However, we have relatively few soldiers in Wuwangsui City. Why not, let's form a reinforced ballistae corps, and put a thousand ballistae into one corps."
I said: "Mr. Lu is an expert in this area. You make the decision and I will make the final decision."
Lu Zheng also nodded immediately and said: "I will go back and prepare a set of formation plans, and then send them to the city lord!"
After that, Lu Zheng was about to leave.
I stopped Zhou Yin and said: "Wait, there is one more thing. Help me select a thousand cavalry. Remember to have good soldiers and strong generals, and the horses must also be top-notch horses. By the way, there is one more thing.
Come on, help me find some ordinary horses."
Lu Zheng asked me what I wanted to do, so I told him about my plan to form a talisman formation cavalry.
After hearing what I said, Lu Zheng became even more excited: "Mr. City Lord, do you have a talisman array for the talisman cavalry? That is really great. If we have another talisman cavalry and a thousand ballistae, we will not be guilty.
The combat effectiveness of the city’s legions will more than double.”
I said to Lu Zheng: "Go and prepare!"
Lu Zheng nodded and exited excitedly.
After Lu Zheng left, King Wu Ling, who was standing next to Zhou Yin, said: "Master, it seems that you also have great ambitions!"
Speaking of this matter, I suddenly remembered that the Witch Spirit King planned a war between humans and monsters, and asked him what his previous plan was.
The Witch Spirit King snorted and said: "I am taking revenge for my beloved girl. When I was twenty years old, I fell in love with a girl. Unfortunately, a prince from the human race also fell in love with her.
That girl, he used his power to suppress our Wuling clan, and my incompetent father couldn't even protect his own son's happiness, and actually gave my beloved woman to that prince."
"Originally, I gave up. I thought that since the prince liked her, he would definitely treat her well. But when I went to the girl's house the next day, I heard that my beloved girl had been beaten to death by the prince.
!”
"From that time on, I swore an oath to be an enemy of the human race. I wanted the human race to pay a heavy price, so I seized the kingship and joined the demon clan. The purpose was to cause a large-scale war between the demon clan and the human race and drag the human race into it.
The quagmire of war, let them..."
As he spoke, the Witch Spirit King's eyes turned red.
I can be sure that what he told is the truth. I really didn't expect that he would sacrifice so many people's lives just to avenge his sweetheart.
After a pause, the Witch Spirit King said: "If I have a chance to see that human prince, I will kill him myself."
I asked the human prince who he was.
King Wu Ling said: "King Zhou Zhi of the Far West!"
When he heard about this person, Zhou Yin stood by and said, "I've heard about this. Zhou Zhi was supposed to stay in the capital and become a prince, but because he killed the princess, he was demoted to the far west by the emperor.
Became the King of the Far West."
After speaking, Zhou Yin paused again and said, "By the way, that Lu Zheng is from Shuilingdu, right? The capital of King Yaoxi is in Shuilingdu."
Hearing Zhou Yin say this, I suddenly felt that Lu Zheng was framed. It was normal. How could someone who could steal someone else's beloved girl and beat her to death be able to manage a region well?
At this time, I also asked curiously: "It turns out that the human emperor's surname is Zhou. I thought he and the human emperor were also surnamed Liu."
Zhou Yin smiled and said, "His Majesty, the Human King, chose our Zhou family to manage the upper realm for him on his behalf, and named us the royal family."
Only then did I realize that Zhou Yin also had royal blood.
Thinking of this, I asked curiously: "You have royal blood, do you still recognize me as the hall master?"
Zhou Yin said: "My bloodline is very biased. I am almost like a commoner and not noble. But you, the disciple of the Three Saints, are more than 10,000 times more noble than me."
While we were talking, there was a young man outside the door who came to deliver a message, saying that some young people came to see me and report to me about the expansion of the city.
In fact, I have seen it all. In less than three months, Wuwangsin City, which was originally planned to expand by one-third, has doubled in size, and all city walls have been reinforced.
However, the scale is getting bigger, which means that the completion time has to be set back, so Xianqing must have come to me to report these things.
So I let Suan Xianqing come in.
As expected, after he reported these things, I naturally commended him, and then gave him some silver-level talisman jade for him to use in the expansion. I knew very well that his report was just incidental, and he needed talisman jade.
Really, and I also knew the difficulties of being considered a senior, so I didn’t make things difficult for him.
After all, Wuwangsuin City is currently under construction, so it is normal for the cost to be high.
In addition to what Lu Zheng and I just said, the army will expand again, which will definitely cost money, so Lu Zheng must have gone to report to Suan Xianqing, which will make Suan Xianqing even more vulnerable.
Stop being angry.
After receiving my talisman, even Xianqing's expression relaxed a lot.
After Xianqing left, I didn't pay much attention to things in the city. I wanted to go to Xishan to see Hu Jiashu. He had been in seclusion for almost three or four months, and it was almost time to end.
When I arrived at Xishan, I discovered that Hu Jiashu had actually reached the first level of heaven. He was slowly adjusting his body and stabilizing his strength.
I couldn't help but wonder: "You succeeded in overcoming the tribulation? Why didn't anyone in the city tell me?"
Hu Jiashu said: "It's very simple, because there is no natural disaster for me this time!"
Hu Jiashu, who was adjusting his breath, smiled at me.
No catastrophe?
I was a little stunned and asked him what was going on.
Hu Jiashu said: "Because I have many dead souls who cannot be reincarnated, I am helping them enter reincarnation. Every time one enters reincarnation, I will accumulate a great merit. In the past two years, I have sent tens of thousands of dead souls into reincarnation.
Qian, maybe they protected me and prevented me from suffering a natural disaster."
When I heard Hu Jiashu say this, I was surprised and said, "How come I haven't seen so many of them?"
Hu Jiashu said: "These are all happening slowly in my body. It is normal for you not to notice it."
I have heard before that if you read the Tao Te Ching thoroughly, understand the great wisdom in it, and enjoy the great merits in it, you can directly become an immortal without suffering from heavenly calamity. It seems that this is the path Hu Jiashu took.
.
As for me, I will definitely not be able to take that path because my sin of killing is too serious.
But then again, Hu Jiashu has also committed a lot of murders, so why can he still use great merit to offset the heavenly calamity?
I didn't ask in detail, after all, it was Hu Jiashu's secret.
Anyway, I still give Hu Jiashu a big congratulations.
I didn't bother him anymore and let him continue to be stable there.
Returning to Wuwangsui City, I started to purchase ballistae and build the formation cavalry. I left the ballistae matter to Zhou Yin. According to Zhou Yin, he only needs to go out for ten days to do the work.
It can be done, but it will take almost a month to deliver the ballistae.
As for the talisman formation cavalry, I first drew the talisman formation using the ordinary horses that Lu Zheng prepared for me. I have a strong foundation in drawing talisman, so I finished the formation after just a few experiments.
It's just that to control these talisman formations, you need at least a monk above Heavenly Master.
It is very easy to select a thousand Celestial Master monks in our Wuwangsui City, but it will be difficult if they are Earth Immortals.
It took me almost half a month to draw the talisman array for the horses chosen by Lu Zheng, and then another half month to teach the cavalry how to control the talisman array.
By the time they had begun to gain combat effectiveness, the ballista that Zhou Yin had purchased for me had also been sent over. The control method for the ballista was very simple. As long as you were a monk and knew how to control the energy of the talisman, it was enough to make a temporary one in just a few days.
The ballista corps was successfully formed.
Of course, their accuracy when using the crossbow is still a bit off, which needs to be improved through gradual practice in the future.
As for the blue-level talisman needed to fire the ballista, I have long prepared a large amount of silver-level talisman for Shuan Xianqing to replace. Now there are almost hundreds of thousands of blue-level talisman, so that almost every ballista can fire several times.
Hundreds of Taoist attacks.
Just when everything on our side was in order, we got news that there was a conflict between the city lord of Tianlong City and the city lord of Rixin City, Zhan Ke. Now the city lord of Tianlong City is leading five legions, nearly
Seventy thousand people went south to attack Xinri City in Zhanke.
When we got the news, Zhan Ke also asked Yuan Zihong to send us a distress letter.
After seeing the letter, I immediately made a decision, that is, to help. This is what I promised Yuan Zihong. If Rixin City is in trouble, I will help.
He didn't take it seriously at the time, but I kept it in mind.
The most important thing is that I heard something. It seems that Zhan Ke offended the city lord of Dragon City that day because of me. I’m afraid I won’t know the details until I see Zhan Ke. (To be continued)
