Chapter 74 Longevity Banquet (please subscribe)
In Yuelu Mountain, Xu Xuan woke up from practice.
The first thing I did when I woke up was to lift the futon and take off the spiritual stone whose light had become lighter.
Put the groceries back into new storage bags.
Now there are a total of two storage bags on the waist, one large and one small. The small one has ten cubic meters and the large one has thirty cubic meters.
Thirty cubic meters is equivalent to a cube with a side length of 3.1 meters, which is relatively large and can accommodate ten corpses and a lot of debris.
The two magic weapons have also been refined.
Wow!
The flying pigeon entered the bamboo forest, and there was a letter on it.
"Laiwu was defeated?" Xu Xuan was a little surprised. When he saw the contents of the letter and the so-called Skitarii, he immediately understood it.
"Guardian, drink the talisman water, support the Taoism..." A cold smile appeared on the corner of Xu Xuan's mouth.
They pretended to be gods and ghosts to confuse the people, carried out suicide attacks, and mixed in some masters, causing great losses to the army. Finally, the Jin cavalry ended the battle.
This must be Sun Taixuan's handiwork.
"Confucianism plus Xie religion, if this continues, the situation will become increasingly unfavorable to us." Xu Xuan thought to himself.
In the past, the Northern Expedition was relatively smooth, and the local public opinion base was relatively good, so there would be no large-scale resistance. Because of the policy of killing local tyrants and dividing their fields, they would even receive overt or covert help.
Now that Taiyi is trying to trick them in the north and using such methods to deceive people, the Northern Expedition will become increasingly difficult in the future.
While the apologetic movement is not strong, it must be extinguished as soon as possible.
"It's time for the mountains and rivers to be unified."
I always stayed behind closed doors before, mainly because I didn’t distance myself from the world.
Nowadays, there is the Taoist practice of Qi training, two kinds of magical weapons, and the technique of controlling flying swords with divine consciousness, which are enough to reduce the dimensionality of any force in this world.
Practicing qi requires more resources, so unifying China will help you a lot.
"That's it."
Xu Xuan walked out of the Iron Bamboo Forest and looked at Hong Yi in the mirror before leaving. He couldn't give up on this guy. He could just observe the Taiyin Refining Method, which he might need in the future.
Outside the bamboo forest, there is Wangxiang Tower, and there is a mansion near the tall building.
Li Jianxing was slowly practicing his sword. He was in his fifties and looked like he was in his forties.
Since being trained by Li Changsheng, Li Jianxing has gradually entered a retired life, practicing sword practice every day to maintain his health, and occasionally going out for sightseeing. He only returns after a month or two, leaving all the secular affairs of the sect to the second-generation Baidi disciples.
Nowadays, the Baidi Sect is spread all over the southern provinces, operating funeral services, as well as some charitable institutions, nursing homes, sales homes, homes for the disabled, etc. Most of the donations from believers fall here. In some remote areas, they are also responsible for medical treatment. responsibility.
Generally speaking, everyone has work to do. There are very few disciples who are pure practitioners, and even fewer who practice martial arts full-time. Of course, there are also disciples who are dedicated to pure cultivation. They need to have a certain amount of knowledge before they can concentrate on practicing Taoism.
The so-called Taoism is no longer about immortality, but more about the exploration of nature. New inventions have emerged in endlessly in recent years.
Dong dong dong...
At this time, someone came to knock on the door.
Li Jianxing opened the door and saw that it was Li Changsheng.
"Master, I have something good for you to see."
"what?"
Li Changsheng came to the pavilion in the backyard, picked up the teapot and drank it in one gulp, then opened the box in his hand.
Inside the box lies an exquisite pistol. This gun is shorter and smaller. The most special thing is the runner on the gun body, which has six bullet chambers.
"The repeating revolver can fire six shots in a row. Tiangongyuan has improved the gunpowder ratio. The power of this gun is not inferior to the previous long-barreled fire blunderbuss. Unfortunately, it cannot be mass-produced. This gun is planned to be handed over to Tiangongyuan. division."
Li Jianxing couldn't put it down. Although some people said that this thing would make martial arts meaningless, Li Jianxing didn't think so.
Times will eventually develop. If there are spears, there must be shields. If there are firearms, there must be shields to protect against firearms. Moreover, martial arts masters holding guns are not on the same level as ordinary people holding guns.
Let's put it this way, if Li Jianxing faced an ordinary person and drew a gun and shot each other, he would win a hundred times if he shot a hundred times.
At this time, a person appeared outside the door.
"It's good stuff, but it's better if you keep it."
The visitor was none other than Xu Xuan. Xu Xuan walked into the mansion and said directly: "We are going to unify the country. Changsheng, it's time to activate your hidden line in the north. Come with me when you have time."
"Master Tian, where are we going?"
"Northern Capital City!"
Li Changsheng was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Okay, I will send an order to the whole sect right now!"
There are two first-level masters in the Baidi Sect, one is Xie Miao, and the other is Li Changsheng, who is a master who has planted twelve insects. The total number of people who have planted insects is close to three hundred.
Soon, orders were passed down layer by layer.
Zhongjing, the Imperial Palace.
Xu Yong opened the letter and said with a smile: "Have you started? That's fine, I've been waiting for a long time."
First gather heavy troops, and the time for the war is not fixed, waiting for Xu Xuan to give the order.
In the North, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in a state of joy. The appearance of the Skitarii allowed them to regain a lot of lost territory, and it also made them discover the fatal shortcomings of the Chang Kingdom.
In their view, this incident symbolized the decline of Chang State.
"The Southern Barbarians had great advantages in firearms before. Now we have overcome the difficulty of firearms. The day when the Southern Barbarians will be destroyed is not far away." Hong Chengchou, wearing a pig tail, congratulated the emperor.
He was very happy and happy about the coming unification of the world.
When the British Lord is alive, the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is the highest ideal of scholars.
Emperor Qianqing's hair turned gray, and his energy and energy deteriorated a lot.
The civil official Fan Wencheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, your 60th birthday should be celebrated in a grand manner. I suggest inviting centenarians from all over the country to add blessings to the birthday banquet."
"Okay, this is a good idea." Emperor Qianqing's eyes lit up and said.
It's just the right opportunity to bring the leaders of the Mongolian and Hui tribes over. The three tribes of Jin, Mongolia and Hui can be the masters of China and jointly rule these huge Han people. After a few years of governance, he knew that people could not be killed. Even if they were killed, he would not have a good life. It would be better to enslave them physically and mentally.
"Fan Wencheng, I'll leave this matter to you. Don't come to see me if you can't do it well."
"Yes!"
This birthday banquet is called the Wanshou Banquet. A total of more than 100 centenarians will be invited. The invitations from all forces must also be in place, and no carelessness is allowed.
At that time, the soldiers on the border will also be rewarded. This is a face-saving project.
The only difficulty is that the birthday banquet is less than three months away. It is really difficult to find a hundred centenarians within three months. Even if they are found, it is difficult to come to some remote areas within three months.
But Fan Wencheng is not stumped. The emperor wants face. Is it important whether the old man is really a hundred years old?
What's wrong with some centenarians being younger? Isn't it just a way to keep their youth?
As time passed, the north and the south were surprisingly calm.
At this time, a carriage took advantage of the night to go north, and suddenly, undercurrents surged.
