Chapter 120 Foundation Building Period
Two years, two years later, the Taoist sect successfully spread its power to Chencang County.
By controlling the grassroots and evacuating the power at the top, people in the officialdom can only rely on them.
Deep in the Qinling Mountains, there is a family beside a deep pool.
There are peach trees planted here, and they are in season with colorful fallen leaves.
The sound of piano and harp came from the peach forest.
I saw seven people in the peach forest, some old and some young, some men and some women.
Play the flute, piano, pipa, silk and bamboo.
Soon, everyone stopped and chatted about literature and poetry.
Suddenly, the older man said: "There is a group of Taoists at the bottom of the mountain who are very powerful, seizing people's land and expanding wantonly. What do you think?"
"This is the source of troubled times," said a middle-aged man.
"Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others."
"Killing one person and benefiting the world is a great good." The person who said this was a middle-aged man with an elegant and light temperament. He was dressed in white and looked quite elegant.
"Brother Xiang is right!" the youngest man agreed.
"Why do you say this?" someone asked.
The middle-aged man, also known as Xiang Youxian, came one by one.
"Although we seize people's land, they kill only the most vicious people. They do not occupy the land privately, but distribute it to the people. This is a severe blow to the aristocratic families. This is the first good thing. Opening granaries to provide food, treating diseases and saving people, this is the second good thing."
"Changing the Five Dou Rice Road and canceling the tax on renting rice is the third good thing."
The others didn't speak harshly and nodded, agreeing with Xiang Youxian's words.
They have lived in seclusion in the Qinling Mountains for many years. They came from other places and did not care about the past. They just lived in seclusion.
They met each other because of their ambitions, and they had similar views. Some people here were weak, some were highly skilled in martial arts, and some were former ministers of the former dynasty.
There are seven of these people in total, and they call themselves the Seven Immortals of Qinling.
Except for the youngest Liu Song, no one else has interfered in worldly affairs for many years.
"However, Zhang Jiao and Sun En were famous all over the world before the incident. In the future, they may sweep the world and harm the people." The old man added.
"What the boss said is right. Before the uprising, Zhang Jue was also known as a great virtuous teacher. After the uprising, he held several states hostage and made the people miserable."
Xiang Youxian and Liu Song were silent.
The scene was a little awkward for a while.
Someone wanted to smooth things over, and the old man said again:
"Lao Wu and Lao Qi, you are already confused. Come down the mountain."
"Boss, what do you mean by this?" Some people are confused. Isn't it just an ordinary discussion? Why did it get to the point of separation.
Someone winked at You Xian and the two, but strangely they didn't plead for mercy.
"You two are from Taoism, and you are the heirs of Xiaoyao Tao. The sect has been destroyed, and Taoism has become a demon. You were originally heartbroken, but when you see the signs of Taoism's revival, you must be unwilling to accept it. Come down the mountain."
The old man is very discerning, while others have seen through the mortal world and live in seclusion, such as the old man himself. After the collapse of his country and his family, he, as a member of the former royal family, has lived in the mountains for decades.
As for Xiang Youxian and Liu Song, they were both disciples of the Taoist sect. Xiang Youxian even had the title of successor of the Taoist ancestor. Faced with the destruction of the sect and the loss of the Taoist tradition, they were powerless and could only watch the Taoist sect turn into demons. teach.
Frustrated, he came to live in seclusion in the mountains.
Xiang Youxian spoke at this time and said: "I can't be sure that the revival of Dao Sect is a good thing, but it may be the beginning of approaching the Demon Sect. This Xu Xuan... I can't see through it."
Since being labeled as a demon sect, it has really attracted many people with evil intentions to seek refuge, and the Taoist sect's style has gradually become more ferocious.
The Five Pecks of Rice Taoism was changed to Taoism, and many policies that exploited believers were cancelled. This seems to be a good thing at the moment.
But Xu Xuan always made him a little wary.
Since he is an innate master, why do he insist on pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, and engaging in deceptions like torturing ghosts and summoning gods? It seems that he has evil intentions at first glance.
"Seeing is believing. This is just a reputation. Perhaps it is a far-fetched idea of a foolish man and a foolish woman. It has nothing to do with him personally. Judging from what he has done, it can be considered beneficial to the Taoist sect."
"In that case, I'll bid farewell to everyone first!!" Xiang Youxian stood up and saluted everyone, "I'll go down the mountain first and have a look. If Xu Xuan is different from what he appears, I will take action myself to prevent them from bullying the people again; if it's just a rumor, "Xu Xuan is worthy of a great responsibility, so I will give him magical powers to help revive the Taoist sect."
"I'll go down the mountain too." Liu Song stood up.
"Don't send it!"
Wow!
The two of them turned into an afterimage, whipped up by a strong wind, and disappeared into the fallen peach forest.
Two of the Seven Immortals were missing, and everyone felt a little sad for a moment.
"There is no real seclusion in the world. Maybe you will leave this place one day." The old man said with a smile.
Feng County has an extra pair of brothers.
The elder brother is a teacher, and the younger brother is a hunter.
The two people were Xiang Youxian and Liu Song.
Xiang Youxian was wearing a simple Confucian shirt and carrying the vegetables he had just bought.
"Mr. Xiang, my aunt's daughter..."
"Aunt Liu, I don't plan to get married. You'd better introduce me to someone else..." Xiang Youxian smiled helplessly.
"You are already quite old, and you will grow old in the future..."
"Ahem, I have something else to do, I'll leave first."
Xiang Youxian fled away. To be honest, none of the innate masters were as powerful as the aunt just now.
Even so, Xiang Youxian was not angry at all.
He likes this kind of urban life very much. This kind of life is not the life of a few people, but the life of everyone.
In other places, it is difficult for some people to be stable and ordinary.
In other places where Taoism has no control, especially in the countryside, it is normal to go hungry after every meal. They are all sallow, skinny, and frail. These people are often seen picking up swill outside restaurants.
The most exaggerated thing Xiang Youxian saw was that a rich man walked out of a restaurant and vomited all over the floor because he drank too much wine. The people picking up swill next to him came up to grab the vomit.
But that's not the case here.
"The well-field system may really be feasible." Xiang Youxian looked at Caishikou. The Taoist priests were still judging evil gentry and underground gangs. There was no day without killing people. "The killing is too much. I want to see him."
What's even more frightening is that no one has an opinion, but instead supports it very enthusiastically.
If you want to conquer the world, you must have the help of a noble family, otherwise you will be considered a bandit at best.
It's a pity that Xu Xuanshen has been haunted and has been staying in Fengming Mountain.
He is also not suitable for revealing his identity, so that the observation effect will not be achieved.
Wutong Cave, there is a tomb outside the cave, and next to the tomb is a willow tree.
This is raising the Five Ghosts, who still have more than half a year to take shape.
Xu Xuan stood guard in front of the alchemy furnace, the roaring fire radiating heat.
boom! !
White smoke exploded.
A golden and round elixir flew out.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Xu Xuan grabbed the Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Phew, the Foundation Establishment Pill was successful!" Xu Xuan said with a smile.
Two years later, Xu Xuan learned the Dragon and Tiger Pill.
The Dragon and Tiger Pill replaced the previous pill.
In the future, it will be used together with materials to be exchanged with the mirror world.
The one in front of me is the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Stone lotus can be divided into three parts in total. Even though Xu Xuan prepared two years in advance, he still failed in two parts and succeeded in refining the third part.
Xu Xuan said nothing and swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill in one gulp.
Everything was prepared before, all I needed was the foundation-building pill.
Dark clouds lingered in the sky.
Birds and beasts seemed to sense danger and fled from the mountain one after another.
