Chapter 733: Ordered by Heaven, Longevity and Prosperity
The ancient roads in the Western Regions are filled with wind and sand, blocking out the sky and the sun.
A camel caravan departed from nowhere, loaded with goods, and headed towards the largest oasis nearby.
The leader of the caravan is a tall man with rich trading experience, and he has calculated every stopping point very clearly.
"Everyone, please work harder. Ahead is Ulu Kol Oasis. Once there, everyone can have a good rest for two days."
When the members of the caravan heard this, they immediately cheered: "The leader is wise."
A young man who was participating in trading for the first time asked with curiosity: "Boss, can you tell me about the situation in the Ulu Kol Oasis? I will know what to do next time I come."
The leader of the caravan laughed and said jokingly: "Chamu Tie, your father is right. You are such a studious child and you will definitely become an excellent businessman in the future."
The young man Chamutie was a little embarrassed when the leader of the caravan said something to him, so he lowered his head shyly.
Seeing this, the leader of the caravan smiled and introduced: "Chamu Tie, you remember, the Ulu Kol Oasis is based on Muzi Lake. It is the largest and most prosperous oasis within hundreds of miles."
"The entire oasis is home to hundreds of thousands of people. It is rich in corn, cotton and other daily necessities, as well as jade, medicinal materials and other precious things."
"The caravan will stay here for a few days. In addition to allowing everyone to have a good rest, they also have to take the opportunity to dispose of this batch of goods and replace them with Ulu Kol's specialties before going to the next oasis to sell them."
"See that green color? In another hour, we will reach the Ulu Kol Oasis."
An hour later, the leader of the caravan came to the vicinity of Ulu-Col Oasis and discovered something strange. Compared to before, there was an additional group of soldiers wearing black armor at the entrance of Ulu-Col Oasis.
Even just looking at it from a distance, the caravan leader could feel the evil aura of the black-armored soldiers.
If it were not for replenishing supplies, the caravan leader would not even want to enter the Ulu-Col Oasis to avoid getting into trouble.
Zhamutie asked in a low voice: "Boss, the soldiers guarding the gate of Uruchole Oasis look very fierce, more ferocious than the wolf I killed at the coming-of-age ceremony."
Upon hearing this, the leader of the caravan quickly warned: "Shut up, these soldiers are extraordinary. They don't look like they were trained in the Ulu-Col Oasis. They look like they came from other places."
"Everyone, please note that the Ulu-Col Oasis is very likely to be occupied by other forces. To avoid misunderstandings, do not try to inquire about the origins of these soldiers."
"If it arouses the other party's suspicion, it will be tragic to kill people and buy goods."
When everyone in the caravan heard this, their hearts trembled, and they even slowed down while breathing.
When they arrived at the gate, the caravan was stopped by black-armored soldiers as expected: "Where did the caravan come from? Where are you planning to go? Is there a way to guide it?"
The leader of the caravan looked confused when he heard this. The first two questions are easy to answer, but what is a road guide?
When the captain of the black-armored soldier saw this, he said angrily: "It's another person without a road guide. Ergou, take them to the government office to get a road guide and make it clear to them. According to the latest decree issued by the Marquis, there will be no roads in one month."
Those who lead the way are not allowed to enter the oasis."
"Anyone whose Lu Yin does not match the person will be killed without mercy regardless of the reason. Let him cherish his Lu Yin."
Everyone in the caravan, including the leader of the caravan, looked confused and was led into the oasis by a black-armored soldier named Ergou. As for the goods, they were temporarily detained at the door and would be picked up after the instructions were completed.
After walking for a long time in the Ulu-Col oasis, the caravan leader almost didn’t recognize it. This was the Ulu-Col in his memory.
The squat houses disappeared, but a new city rose from the ground.
When the caravan leader stepped into the new city, the clean and tidy streets and row upon row of houses looked extremely extraordinary.
The leader of the caravan couldn't hold back his curiosity, stuffed a small piece of gold into the soldier named "Er Gou", and carefully inquired: "May I ask this military master, what is the origin of the new oasis master?
Why did you decide to build such a city?"
Ergou took the gold, took a bite, and confirmed that it was genuine. He said with a smile: "There is no oasis owner. There is only one owner in the entire Western Region, and that is my champion."
"This city is said to have been ordered by the old man himself. Not only the Ulu Kol Oasis, but also other oases were built, and even the uninhabited desert. The champion arranged for people to build the city. Maybe there is some deep meaning.
"
"Okay, the government office is here, go in and get a road guide. Remember, the road guide is the only thing that can prove your identity. In another month, those who don't have a road guide will be expelled in the least case, or killed without mercy in the worst case.
"
"You must not lose the guide, otherwise your death will be in vain."
The leader of the caravan bowed his head and said yes again and again, writing down these words in his heart.
A quarter of an hour later, each person in the caravan handed over twenty coppers and received a road guide.
The road guide records their names, ages, family members, where they come from, general appearance and other relevant information.
In general, this is a simplified version of the ID card, which Lin Ze specially used to control the Western Regions as a "sharp weapon".
Within a certain period of time, anyone can go to the government office to apply for road guidance so as to pass through various oases in the Western Regions.
After this period of time, the government office will no longer accept requests for road guidance.
From then on, according to Lin Ze's regulations, those without roads would not be given the opportunity to enter any oasis.
…
To the west of the Western Region, at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the oasis formed by the nourishment of snow water is larger and broader.
In an unnamed house, Lin Ze received the secret letter brought to him by the spy and read it through. He found that the world had not changed yet and everything was normal.
Three months ago, Lin Ze left Chang'an with a group of people. What remained in Chang'an were the countless hidden nails he had planted over the years.
Not only Chang'an, Nanyue, Beiland, Central Plains, Qichu Land and even Lishan Mausoleum, there are hidden nails left by Lin Ze, secretly providing him with a steady stream of information:
Hu Hai barely took control of the court, but Xiang Ji and Liu Ji were still hiding in the mountains and forests, and they were nowhere to be seen.
On the other hand, Buddhism and Confucianism were not idle during this period. They sent many disciples to the places under their jurisdiction to spread propaganda and secretly plan and build momentum.
The atmosphere is getting more and more tense, a bit like the prelude before a big change.
Only the Taoist gate remains silent.
Forget about the Taoist palace, it has always been aloof from the outside world and does not participate in the affairs of the mortal world. It is understandable that it has not been arranged.
But after so much investment in Biyou Palace, there was no news, which made Lin Ze very confused. Lin Ze
Fortunately, a month ago, Lin Ze successfully completed the overall layout in the Western Region, and then immersed all his attention in practicing martial arts.
The Qin Emperor's secret treasury, the "wool" collected from various overseas sects, and the heavenly materials and earthly treasures sent by Confucianism and Buddhism were all consumed by Lin Ze.
At this point, Lin Ze successfully reached the peak of the Soul Realm.
To be precise, Lin Ze is a little stronger than the average person at the peak of the Divine Soul Realm, because his Divine Soul is one foot or two tall, which is two feet taller than the ordinary one.
These two feet were grown by Lin Ze through the secret method of the God of War Illustration.
When Lin Ze broke through to the peak of the Soul Realm, his first feeling was not joy, but depression, as if there was a heavenly barrier above his head, suppressing him to death.
Lin Ze tried to continue to break through, but found that the sky was not moving at all, and it was difficult to even put effort on it.
As expected, it is the heaven and the earth that restrict the birth of the immortal state of heaven and humans. If you want to break through this restriction, you must have gods and humans.
No wonder Emperor Qin was trapped in front of him for hundreds of years.
If the world didn't change drastically, Lin Ze didn't know how many years he would have wasted because of this.
Thinking of this, Lin Ze rode the wind and patrolled over the Western Region, thinking to himself: I wonder how long it will take for the big change to come?
As soon as this idea came into Lin Ze's mind, he sensed a special frequency coming from a very far away place.
A familiar majestic voice echoed repeatedly between heaven and earth: "I, as ordered by heaven, will live forever."
Emperor Qin was born!
Lin Ze's face was stunned, and his mind was in chaos.
Also, the great changes in heaven and earth have begun.
Because Lin Ze could feel that the sky above his head was gradually disappearing.
