Zuo Dacheng's scouts sitting on the tank came to report that there was a man who knew magic in Guobei County. Zuo Dacheng not only wanted to capture Guobei County this time, but also recruited this person.
But Zuo Dacheng remembered that he still owed a debt to the Heavenly Master. He wanted the sword-controlling skills of Shushan and the magic of the Kunlun Sect.
Of course, the territory also needs to be snatched. Now he has occupied two counties, Guobei County will be the third, and then he is ready to push all the way across.
As the territory expanded, management also became a difficult problem, but these problems were easily solved under Zuo Dacheng's gun.
After witnessing the power of Zuo Cheng's army, few die-hards dared not to surrender. Those who did not surrender died, and the rest was naturally used by him.
Having evil intentions? Zuo Dacheng is not afraid. The sacred tree expands along with it. It is easy to know who has bad intentions. Moreover, after accepting his supplies and rule, the people of Li have become a pair of monitoring eyes.
.
As long as those people dared to make any unusual move, someone would immediately report him to him, so they would have no chance to rebel.
"Guobei County, let's go!"
Zuo Dacheng gave an order for the tanks and other infantry to advance towards Guobei County. In Guobei County, the magistrates and government officials were all in chaos.
Who doesn't know that Marshal Zuo has appeared nearby? He has two hundred steel chariots under his command. There is no grass growing wherever he goes. He also has countless skilled warriors under his command. All the weapons in his hands can spray thunder and lightning flames.
It is said that the divine soldiers descended from heaven.
We are now outside Guobei County. If we come here, I heard that they specialize in killing corrupt officials. What will happen if we are caught by them?
"Master, please tell me what to do!"
The county magistrate asked the master what to do. But he didn't know that the master had already planned to open the city gate to greet Marshal Zuo. By then, he would have a good impression. If the past events were investigated, he would confess to the county magistrate.
Although it's not very authentic, surviving is the most important thing.
Now the county magistrate looked at him eagerly, and the master rolled his eyes and said: "Master, there is only one way now."
"What can I do? Please tell me!"
When the county magistrate heard that there was really something he could do, he immediately urged.
The master touched his goatee and said: "Dedicate the city, master.
Now we don’t have the troops to defend the city. What can we do if we don’t dedicate the city?
And you also know that Fu Tianchou, the Minister of Rites, returned to the court a few days ago and already said that the world was previously controlled by evildoers.
Now all the ministers and the emperor are gone, causing chaos in the court and rebellion everywhere.
If we don't join a powerful company in advance, I'm afraid even if the commander-in-chief from the left doesn't come, some commander-in-chief from the right will come, and we won't all suffer the same consequences then?"
The county magistrate was a little unhappy when he heard that he was asked to surrender, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that it was exactly what the master said.
It is really dangerous to be an official now. It was said before that the protector of the country was a centipede spirit and turned into the true form of the Buddha to deceive His Majesty.
As a result, all the civil and military officials in the entire dynasty died except Fu Tianchou and Fu Shangshu who were still alive. Even the emperor died.
Once this news spread, it was terrible. The vassal kings everywhere couldn't sit still, and they all wanted to be the emperor. In an instant, the world was in chaos.
But Guobei County is the only way to go to Beijing. Even if Zuo Dashuai's people don't come now, others will come in the future. When the time comes, they want to recruit me, will I do it or not?
"Then, it will be okay if we take refuge with him? What if..."
It has to be said that the county magistrate is also a real official fan. When the crisis broke out, he did not choose to leave Guobei County, but stayed and continued to be an official.
Now that he was about to take refuge, what he was thinking about was whether Marshal Zuo would be able to do it. What if he couldn't do it and he got on the pirate ship but couldn't get off? He didn't want to die with him.
"My Lord, what time is it now? Do you want me to choose? Even if the power of Marshal Zuo is weak, we can survive for a few more days if we take refuge in him. If we don't take refuge, I'm afraid we won't survive today. You
Let’s choose one!”
·······.
Seeing the gates of Guobei County wide open and the county magistrate and officials coming out to respond, Marshal Zuo did not embarrass them. After all, he needed more officials to help him govern the world, and it was unrealistic to kill them all.
Fortunately, since he showed his power, more and more people have chosen to surrender.
"You have done a good job, but there are some things I want to say up front. I can let go of the past, but those who commit heinous crimes must be eradicated. Those who kill, cannibalize, traffic and force girls into prostitution must not be allowed to stay! Do you understand?"
Sitting on the tank, Zuo Dacheng stated his conditions, and the county magistrate quickly nodded in agreement.
Speaking of which, the magistrate of Guobei County is not a good person, but he is not an extremely evil person either. It is precisely because of his governance that Guobei County has not completely turned into an Asura purgatory. It is much better than other places.
Of course, this is not all due to him. In fact, Lanruo Temple outside Guobei County is the place that really affects people.
Under the guidance of the sacred tree, Zuo Da came to the outskirts of Lanruo Temple. This was once a temple with great incense, but unfortunately it has been abandoned. Now it has become a paradise for monsters and monsters.
"Yan Chixia, I know you are inside, come out and see me!"
Zuo DaDa stood outside the door and shouted, but did not hear any movement inside. After waiting for a while, Zuo DaDa walked in.
The dilapidated temple was not much to look at, but there was a huge banyan tree, which gave the impression of a single tree growing into a forest. After looking at it for a few times, Zuo Dacheng entered the temple, and then... he saw a corpse.
Zuo Dacheng frowned and immediately went forward to check. He held a sword in both hands and pierced his chest. It turned out that he had committed suicide.
Then Zuo Da found that there was a letter beside the body.
"I, Yan Chixia, deserve to be worthy of heaven and earth in killing demons throughout my life, but I don't want to end up like this. Spiritual energy harms people, spiritual energy harms people!!! I have only two things to keep in mind in my free and happy life..."
This letter can be regarded as a summary of Yan Chixia's life. It talks about many things that he is proud of, but there are two things in it that he cannot let go.
First, I have learned half a life but have no one to pass on to my family. I always regret it when I think about it, so I can only leave my own practice notes and sword case for those who are destined to do so.
Secondly, the tree demon has not been completely eradicated, and it appears to be resurrecting.
Originally, he was guarding Lanruo Temple to prevent the other party from resurrecting, but unfortunately before he could kill the tree demon, something happened to him first.
Back then, he was injured when he broke into the underworld and had problems with his practice, which led to him going crazy and eventually killing himself.
And judging from the message he left, it was clear that he discovered that there was something wrong with the aura of this world, but it was a pity that it was too late.
Looking at his body, it was clear that he had just died.
Moreover, the yin energy in Lanruo Temple is very strong. If no one handles his body, it will not be exploited.
I am afraid that the other party will commit suicide for a more important reason besides being obsessed with it, and that is to seal his body with his own sword to prevent the demon from taking advantage of him.
"You are indeed a man, very resolute. I, Zuo Da, admire you. I will help you bury your body, and I will fulfill your wish for you! Whether it's finding an apprentice or killing a tree demon!"
Zuo Dacheng admired this Yan Chixia very much. Thinking about it, if he had not received the help of life and death, he would have died in the end. In the end, it was Yan Chixia and Zhiqiu Yiye who turned the tide.
Although this part has been changed now, something happened to Yan Chixia, and the inheritance of the Shushan Swordsman was cut off.
But fortunately, since he is here, the Shushan Swordsman will not become a legend. As for the tree demon...
"Monster, you haven't revealed yourself yet!"
Zuo Da reached the courtyard of the temple and looked at the huge banyan tree and said.
Basically there is only this tree here. If there is anyone else who is a monster, it is probably the only one. Although it is not clear why Yan Chixia didn't burn the opponent with fire, Zuo Dacheng doesn't need to know, he just needs to kill him.
That's it for the other party.
A gust of wind blew through the gaps in the leaves, and the moonlight shone on the ground, forming a human-shaped outline.
"Powerful human warrior, do you have a grudge against me?"
The voices of both men and women came from all directions, and it was unclear where the other party was. Zuo Dacheng opened his cloak, and twenty-four immortal-killing flying knives surrounded him.
"You are filled with evil spirits, and your resentment is almost rising to the sky. I don't know how many lives have been harmed.
I am the commander-in-chief of the human race. Do you dare to say that you have no grievances or enmities against me?
Furthermore, I collected the bones of Yan Chixia today, and by inheriting them here, I will fulfill her last wish. Monster, don’t complain, just accept death.”
"Let's see who dies first!!!"
The wind blew up, and the robe flew away, and the silver chain flashed past. Zuo Dacheng's figure slowly faded from the spot until it disappeared, leaving an afterimage on the spot, and he himself had already passed through the banyan tree and appeared in
the other end of it.
The knife was returned to its sheath, and the brilliance shrank. The thick tree trunk, which even a few people could hug together, slowly showed a slight slanting knife mark. Red sap flowed out from the knife mark on the tree body, and the tree body also collapsed.
With a sigh, Zuo Dacheng walked towards the gate of Lanruo Temple. Just as he was about to walk out, a tree root sprang out from behind. Twenty-four immortal-killing flying knives instantly protected the master and strangled him. However, this tree root was extraordinary. It suddenly divided and spread like filaments.
It covers the entire courtyard wall.
The flying knife that originally flew up and down became slower and slower, until it could no longer move. When it completely stopped and settled in the air, its body was already covered with white silk mesh.
The immortal-killing flying knife was immobilized, and no matter how hard you struggled, it was useless. However, where Zuo Da was standing, tree roots suddenly came up from the ground.
The tree demon grandma finally appeared. Although his true body was cut off, he is a tree demon. As long as the root system does not die, it can be repaired. That was why Yan Chixia failed to kill it completely back then. The same is true for this person now!
