"The aura of awe-inspiring and evil spirits! What a Confucian who follows the law as he says!"
Staring at the clear sky, Wu Ming couldn't help but murmur to himself, and kept replaying the scene of the demons fleeing in panic in his mind. Apex 23S.

Compared with warriors' self-cultivation, Confucian literati pay more attention to cultivating their nature. At the stage of great Confucianism, every word and deed should be accompanied by great righteousness. Cultivate the aura of awe-inspiringness in the body, so that gods and ghosts will not approach, and all evil will not invade.
This is also the fundamental reason why every border town and city needs a great scholar to be in charge.
Of course, this does not mean that there are great Confucians in every town. It is enough to name them in a relatively safe place. After all, there are not many great Confucians in the wild frontier towns.
When it comes to monsters and monsters, the deterrent power of a great Confucian is far greater than the lethality, and is even more powerful than that of a warrior.
Speaking out the Dharma is the ability of a sage, but Confucian literati specialize in cultivating the aura of awe-inspiringness, inspiring the universe, and communicating the will of the sages in the vast world. Only then can they have such power.
Even if it is not as good as the real Dharma Sui, it is still the rudiment of this kind of magical power, and it is not even much worse when it is cultivated to a profound level.
Even if a warrior is not firm-willed, if he is scolded by a great scholar, at least he will feel ashamed and his martial will will retreat, or at worst, his inner demons will dance wildly and he will become possessed.
Of course, if a great scholar recites the true texts of the sages for the warriors, it can further refine the martial spirit, strengthen the true intention, and the martial arts will be improved to a higher level. Not only will the road be smooth, at least for a long time, there will be no need to worry about the invasion of external demons.
At the beginning, Liu and Chen, two great scholars, used their literati character to refine Wu Ming's mind. This was how it was.
It's just that this way consumes a lot of energy. Literati don't cultivate the body, and their lifespan is not as long as that of warriors. They can't use this way often. If they hadn't been grateful to Wu Ming for giving him this opportunity, even if they didn't build a library but a martial arts hall, the two great scholars wouldn't have done this.
It is a pity that most of today’s literati are no longer pure literati!
"Hey, there's Li Daru sitting in charge of Youpu Town. What a bullshit Dragon King, I think he's just a stinky loach, haha!"
Liu Papi was overjoyed, but he could not hide his fear that had not receded.
In fact, if Li Chengfang were not here, Ao Liang alone could uproot the town of Youpu, and hundreds of thousands of people would not be able to escape.
"There are three Dafang towns within a thousand miles. As far as I know, there is only one Li Daru. If Ao Liang went to the other two towns..."
Wu Mingyi gave some advice.
"This, this..."
Liu Papi murmured for a long time without answering.
You can't just ask Li Chengfang to go to the other two towns? What about Youpu Town?
"Sir, there is a gold catcher in town. I heard that he was traveling with a gold catcher from the capital. On the way, he had a fight with the river patrol dragon king and got separated. Would you like to meet him?"
Liu Papi didn't know what Wu Ming was thinking, so he asked tentatively.
"You don't need to test me, then Sun Longyun and I are not the same person!"
Wu Ming said calmly.
"The villain dare not!"
Liu Papi lowered his head.
"Okay, let's ask the question!"
Wu Ming waved his hand, ordered to go down, and personally asked one of them, this person was naturally Sun Yingcai, the earth observer.
"My lord, please forgive me. I have just replaced this person recently, and I haven't had time to replace him yet."
Sun Yingcai was afraid that Wu Ming would be accused, so he quickly expressed his position.
"Why do you think of the city?"
Wu Ming didn't care about this. With the Blood Book and Spiritual Contract in hand, the life and death of these people were controlled by his thoughts, let alone other things that were more important than life. How could he care about such a trivial matter?
"The Evil Wave Gang has been making big moves recently. The whereabouts of the three innate gang leaders are secretive and difficult to follow. However, most of the dozen or so bandit leaders under them have come to Youpu Town, and the two young adults have also followed. The subordinates are afraid of making mistakes, so they
Capture this person secretly so that you can coordinate with other brothers!"
"Do you know about Bai Xing and Sun Longyun's fight with Ao Liang?"
Wu Ming nodded and asked.
"This matter has been widely circulated. Sun Longyun and his party of five entered the city in a panic. It is said that Bai Xing was defeated and seriously injured and fled, and his whereabouts are missing!
As for the disciples of Luoyun Valley, more than half of them were damaged, Bai Ming and Mu Qin'er are also missing, and the rest are unknown."
Sun Yingcai replaced the leader of a small gang and got quite a lot of information, but when it came to confidential matters, he was unable to do anything.
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows, instinctively feeling weird.
It was unusual for Bai Xing and Bai Ming to come to such a remote and remote place. It was just an accidental encounter with Ao Liang, but what if it wasn't?
Now the life and death of the two are unknown, and to Wu Ming's surprise, the former is the notorious Jin Cap. His tracking and escape skills are excellent. Otherwise, how can he fight against the desperadoes?
The latter is the twenty-ninth ranked genius, who has reached half-step master level in his art. Although Ao Liang is strong, he has not yet reached the level of the Great Demon King. How could the two of them be defeated so miserably?
"If we continue our investigation, we must find out the whereabouts of the three of them!"
Wu Ming gave the order to die, then turned around and went out to see if Liu was being tortured and found out any useful information.
Sun Yingcai pretended to look depressed after being tortured, and followed behind in a dejected manner, as if he was terrified.
Not long after, Liu Bapi came to report and brought the other three people up. Wu Ming asked again, but in the end he didn't gain much.
Thinking about it, Sun Yingcai paid attention to this matter and didn't find out anything. How much can the three gang leaders know?
As for the forces in Youpu Town that have colluded with the Evil Lang Gang, they have made some gains, but the evidence is not obvious. It is just that one of their subordinates accidentally saw a leader of the Evil Lang Gang who had disguised himself as a member of the Liu family.
"Sir, Mr. Sun, the gold catcher, has convened all the silver catchers for discussion!"
There was a sudden faint vibration in Liu Papi's arms, he took out a light silver seal, checked it and reported it.
"oh!"
A bright light flashed in Wu Ming's eyes, he glanced at everyone, and exchanged a hidden look with Sun Yingcai without leaving any trace, thinking about it.
Immediately, Liu Papi was arranged to lead four of his close men, and the other four were three spies, working together with an arrester, under the joint supervision of four small gang leaders.
With an old fox like Sun Yingcai, regardless of his cultivation level, he could kill these people with his cunning alone. Wu Ming didn't need to worry at all.
…
About half a quarter of an hour later, in the courtyard of the patrol room in Youpu Town, dozens of men, women, and children with strong auras gathered together. A dozen of them were wearing patrol uniforms, and several middle-aged warriors with extraordinary bearing were lined up.
Both sides.
If anyone who is familiar with the affairs of the town is here, they will definitely find that these people are all well-known heads of various families, but they are all sitting at the bottom at this time. Even the three silver guards did not show any dissatisfaction.
"Master Jin Zaosun has arrived!"
At this moment, a high-pitched roll call sounded, and everyone stood up solemnly and looked at a group of five people walking out from the screen in the back hall. The leader was Sun Longyun, who was dressed in black clothes with gold trim.
The other four people were two silver arresters and Feng Jingyao and Sun Qingyun.
"I've met Mr. Sun!"
Everyone bowed their hands in unison.
No matter his identity or status, Sun Longyun was above everyone else. He accepted the gift calmly and then waved his hand unhurriedly, indicating that everyone did not need to be polite.
"Comrades, you must all be aware of the siege of the city by King Jiaolong today. Without Li Daru in charge, the town of Youpu would be in danger!"
Sun Longyun looked around the hall, and before everyone could sit down, he said with a serious face, "Although we are not worried, the other two towns are in great danger. Now it is too late to ask the court for support. We are all humans, so I decided
, we are temporarily recruiting warriors to support the two towns. I hope that everyone can provide help and support each other, so that we can protect the people of the Song Dynasty here forever."
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, although they secretly murmured in their hearts that they were still showing off at this time, but no one would offend Sun Longyun for such a trivial matter, but when it came to supporting the two towns, this would cost them their lives.
Although Ao Liang retreated, who knew if it was a delaying strategy and there was a monster hiding outside the town?
Even if not, leaving the town at this time, without the protection of the great scholar, is no different than sending oneself to death.
What's more, what does the life and death of other people have to do with them?
It would be best to die. There are three towns in a land thousands of miles away, which are already a bit crowded. In this way, gathering the remaining people from the two towns will not only make a fortune, but also allow the town of Youpu to expand, making it difficult to do so.
Something to please?
"What? You are all citizens of the Song Dynasty, and you just sit back and do nothing when you see your compatriots suffering?"
Sun Longyun glanced around majestically, his handsome face a little ugly and said.
"Master Sun Mingjian, it's not that we don't want to take care of it, it's that we have too much ambition and lack of strength!"
The person who spoke was the nominal owner of Youpu Town, the mayor and guard of the Qiao family in this town—Qiao Yuanshan.
"Yes, yes, Ao Liang, the river patrolling dragon king, is a genus of dragons and has dragon blood. Although he is a demon king, he is comparable to a great demon king. Apart from being afraid of Li Daru, we have no single enemy.
Isn’t Zhen looking for death?”
"Yes, we really don't want to see our compatriots suffer, but we can't be allowed to die. What's more, this matter is caused by Master Bai on his own initiative. We and the Dragon King patrolling the river have always been on the same page, and he is
The spiritual officials conferred by the imperial court have always protected our human race, and Qiu has done nothing wrong..."
The Zhang and Liu families were very talkative, complaining constantly, and there were many complaints in their words.
In fact, this was exactly the case, and 99% of the people present agreed that although Ao Liang was violent and domineering, apart from occasionally robbing people and beating their teeth as sacrifices, he really didn't go on a rampage across Fang Town like he did today.
"You...ahem!"
Sun Longyun was so angry that his face turned pale, and he coughed repeatedly as if he was injured.
It is true that his strength and identity are superior to everyone, but he cannot be killed just because he is disobedient. Otherwise, how will he be different from monsters such as Ao Liang?
Everyone also saw this clearly, so they were so united and in step.
"Sir, my subordinate has something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not?"
At this moment, Liu Bapi suddenly appeared.
"But there's no harm in talking!"
Sun Longyun's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, there was not much joy in his eyes, but there was a look of earnestness on his face.
"I belong to the human race and should be supported, but this matter is too dangerous. Who is not raised by his father and mother, and has a wife and children at home? My subordinates believe that if the two towns provide a sum of resources, please invite the warriors in the city to form a demon hunting team to go there.
It’s understandable!”
Liu Bapi said loudly.
Everyone had a displeased look on their faces, and some of the talkers were even secretly planning how to deal with Liu Bapi. But after hearing this, their eyes lit up and they nodded.
As long as it doesn't harm your own family, fulfills the righteousness of the human race, and can satisfy Sun Longyun, why not?
