Chapter 212
Da Qin Mansion is a newly established city, so it is naturally very vast. Instead of rushing into it like a headless fly, it is natural to make some preparations first.
"Not bad." Hu Han said solemnly:
"Before the flash flood broke out in Cangshe County, Daqin Prefecture, I once encountered a stranger suspected of being from the Dao Dao Sect..."
"One of the female monks is called... Daoxu Immortal Leader by others."
Isn't it true?
Qiao Mu was startled. He had once lost his life in the hands of this female monk at Caishikou in the imperial capital. It was considered a life-and-death friendship.
Qiao Mu is a very loyal person. Since they are friends of life and death, they should repay each other in life and death.
But Qiao Mu soon realized something was wrong.
"After the man-made disaster at Caishikou in the imperial capital, I remember that the Xianmen Dao Sect had already punished Daoxu. Did she have to spend ten years in front of the sect in front of the wall as a punishment?" Qiao Mu asked.
Hu Han twitched the corner of his mouth, laughed twice, and said nothing.
Seeing Hu Han's reaction, Qiao Mu was speechless.
Maybe the sect has been in seclusion for ten years, just to show off to the world? Save some face for the Great Yan court?
"Mr. Qiao, the one who appeared in Cangshe County that day was not only the stranger Daoxu, but also a second-level god-refining warrior named 'Iron Wolf'." Hu Han explained:
"'Iron Wolf' is a criminal thief wanted by the imperial court. He is good at Qinggong and Claw Kung Fu. He was considered a mortal enemy of mine back then. He had fought with me many times before he reached the second level of God Refining."
"And I have made some preparations to eradicate the iron wolf... Mr. Qiao, please take a look."
Hu Han took out a small bottle from the cabinet in the house. There was an air hole on the mouth of the bottle, and inside the bottle was a small insect the size of a fingernail.
"The name of this thing is 'Fragrance Insect'. Where this kind of insect has stayed for a long time, there will be an odorless fragrance. Even warriors with keen senses cannot smell it. Only the Fragrance Insect can smell it."
"Tie Lang's body has been tampered with insect powder ground from scent worms. The smell will not go away for a month or two, so as long as he goes to Da Qin Mansion, it will not be difficult to find the iron wolf with the scent worms. "
"If you find Iron Wolf, you can also find the alien Daoxu..." Hu Han said.
Qiao Mu thought: "Iron Wolf? Yiren has always looked down on martial artists. How can this Iron Wolf, a second-level god refiner, be qualified to hang out with Daoxu, an elder disciple?"
In all likelihood, this Iron Wolf, like the bronze-bodied Arhat, is a Taoist soldier of the Martial Arts Alliance, presumably a second-grade Iron Bone Taoist soldier.
The bronze-bodied Taoist soldiers are made of cloud-patterned orichalcum, and the second-grade iron-bone Taoist soldiers... I guess they will be another kind of immortal material.
Qiao Mu also wants to stop and practice the God-refining chapter of the "Eternal Life Boxing Sutra", but now he doesn't have time-----As the top god-refining technique, the time required to practice the "Eternal Life Boxing Sutra" to become famous can easily take years. count.
You're going to die anyway, so it's better to practice after death.
..
Daqin Mansion, Cangshe County.
A Taoist priest Jie Jie with a paper-white face smiled strangely, pinched a magic formula in his hand, and a ball of bone-corroding fire jumped out, burning mountains and burning people, and for a while there were cries and howls all over the place.
The wails didn't last long before they stopped abruptly. Mortals generally cannot survive more than a few breaths when exposed to bone-corroding fire...
But in the midst of all the crying and howling, a powerful roar suddenly appeared like thunder:
"How dare you act so arrogantly in the Great Qin Mansion, Demon Dao!"
A middle-aged warrior with a strong body jumped up and fought fiercely with the white-faced Taoist for dozens of rounds. Finally, he broke through the heavy flames with a pair of iron fists and penetrated the body of the white-faced old man.
"It's the four great generals under King Qin, General Iron Wolf!" Some people recognized the person and shouted in surprise.
"A martial artist can really kill that demonic stranger. There is hope for martial arts..." Some people who have practiced martial arts were so excited that they couldn't express their emotions, with tears streaming down their faces:
"How many years have passed, and I actually saw the use of force to defeat an immortal..."
"We, martial artists, will one day have to fight against the Immortals."
Tie Lang seemed quite graceful. After comforting the people of Cangshe County, he used Qinggong and left quickly.
"When the matter is over, you brush off your clothes and hide your merits and fame. You are truly a great chivalrous man..."
"After all, he is a general under the command of the King of Qin. In such a large Qin Mansion, it is still difficult to rely on these few martial artists to solve man-made and natural disasters."
"The Iron Wolf warrior left in a hurry. Is he probably involved in other important matters?"
Amid the discussion, Iron Wolf's figure disappeared.
.....
A moment later, he appeared in the deserted back mountain and bowed to the waiting female monk Daoxu.
"Destroying immortals with force... Mortals can't get enough of such a boring drama." Daoxu just sneered.
"It's just mortals' delusions. It's precisely because martial arts cannot be compared with the immortals that they have such illusions." Tie Lang also laughed.
What a joke, if martial arts could keep up with immortality, why would he abandon his physical body to practice the "Golden Body Art"?
The white-faced Taoist just now was just a paper man controlled by Daoxu.
In the past few months, Daoxu had performed many similar scenes in Da Qin Mansion. She had long been tired of them and was obviously a little irritable.
"It's rare to leave the sect and think about crossing the cliff, but to be sent by Master to such a boring place as Daqin Fucheng... It's boring."
"Although I came out of Si Guo Cliff, my master also told me not to enter the Great Yan Emperor's Capital for ten years, and not to search for Daozhen. I have to use blindfold methods to hide my face, and don't use the name 'Daoxu'... Then I will come out and do it." What?"
Daoxu shook his head and smiled secretly.
Elder Qingzhuo is the elder of the Dao Dao Sect who handles mundane affairs. Elder Qingzhuo also made great efforts in the establishment of the Martial Arts Alliance and the conferment of King Qin.
Great Qin Fucheng is full of waste, and building the earthly fairy kingdom that the sect wants will not take a day or two.
After spending so much effort to cultivate a "King of Qin", and even asking elder disciples like Daoxu to help, Dao Dao Sect's plan is naturally no small matter.
Building momentum for the King of Qin and those who enter Taoism through martial arts is also an important part of establishing the fairy kingdom on earth.
"Master had to let me come to Da Qin Mansion to do such chores. If I had known that, I would have been better off without leaving the cliff..."
When Daoxu was irritable, he suddenly had a sudden impulse, frowned and took out a jade charm from his storage bag.
Although Tao soldiers who have mastered the "Golden Body Art" have seemingly free personal will and are not puppets like bean soldiers and paper figures, they are still Tao soldiers in essence, and the immortal sect naturally has methods of manipulation.
Holding this jade talisman in his hand, Daoxu realized something belatedly.
"The bronze-bodied Arhat, the former protector of King Qin, is dead?" Daoxu frowned:
"Who did it? The other eight immortal sects can't see it, are they doing it secretly?"
She didn't even think about the mortal warrior killing Arhat. The opponents of immortal cultivators have always been other immortal cultivators. Where is the role of martial arts warriors?
Chapter 235: Capture the thief first, capture the king (4k
Da Qin Mansion is a newly established city.
Its predecessor was a large city that suffered from human disasters. Half of the city was destroyed by thunder. There were many dead in the city and many people who fled.
The imperial court simply re-expanded this half-destroyed city into a new capital city as a fiefdom for the King of Qin.
Over the past few months, Daqin Fucheng has been undergoing extensive construction work. When Qiao Mu arrived at the outskirts of Fucheng, what he saw was mostly a lively scene.
It was noon at this time, and most of the houses on both sides of the road were under construction.
Most of the houses on the outskirts of the city are wooden houses and thatched houses. However, there are many pedestrians coming and going, including many hardworking craftsmen and laborers, which makes this new city quite popular.
"Master Li Gongde is giving out porridge..." Someone rang the gong in his hand under the pavilion by the roadside, and the sound echoed far down the street.
Soon, there were more pedestrians on the street, and they all rushed away like a tide.
"You have to follow certain rules when giving out porridge." The middle-aged director holding the gong in his hand said loudly:
"This good porridge is only for the old, young, women and children, not the lazy and idle."
"Our Daqin Mansion does not raise idle people. If there are young people, there are many places to employ people in the city. Don't come here to entangle yourself and miss the good intention of Mr. Li Gongde."
Although there was a large crowd, there were quite a few people on the porridge-giving board who were watching the queue. At first glance, it looked really orderly. They were all lining up honestly, and there were no young and strong men fishing in troubled waters.
"This Great Qin Mansion actually looks like this?" Qiao Mu was quite surprised.
After the separation of Xi'an Pass, the old man Wu Ku took some of the disabled old women and children from the isolated city to settle down in the newly established Da Qin Mansion.
Qiao Mu, Hai Siyuan and others thought that since the Dao Sect Immortal Sect was behind the Great Qin Mansion, the people of the isolated city would be in trouble when they came here, and they might be persecuted and bullied, even if they were in Baili back then. In the desert, life is in danger at every turn.
Unexpectedly, when he saw this, it had nothing to do with what he had imagined beforehand.
"If it weren't for Mr. Qiao and Captain Hai..." Old Man Wuku, who only had half his face left, shook his head and said:
"Oh yes, now I have to call General Hai... If you hadn't informed me of this, I wouldn't have believed that the people behind the Da Qin Mansion were actually related to the Dao Dao Sect."
Qiao Mu did not come to Da Qin Mansion alone.
Coming here from the imperial capital with him were not only Hu Han and his daughter, but also Hai Siyuan and other veterans.
Now that we have learned that the Great Qin Mansion is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, it is not an easy task to take away the old, young, women and children from the former isolated city. Qiao Mu cannot do it alone.
Some of the women, children, disabled people and old people who came to Daqin Mansion with Old Man Wuku were in the hundreds or even thousands. If Qiao Mu came alone, it would probably take several days to find them all.
"Mr. Qiao, are you keeping this news true?" The old man Wu Ku frowned and couldn't help but ask.
If someone else had said this, he would definitely not believe it.
In the past month, their life in Daqin Fucheng was not bad. It was completely different from the precarious life they had in the lonely city in the desert.
Desert Gone City is a sect secret realm created by Dao Dao Sect, and if a popular new city like Da Qin Mansion is also built by Dao Dao Sect, then the gap between the two is too big... .
It’s not that Old Man Wu Ku doesn’t believe Qiao Mu and Hai Siyuan, but he just can’t believe it.
"Perhaps the excitement in Da Qin Mansion is just a facade. Maybe after drinking this porridge, your soul will be sold to the immortal sect." Qiao Mu said casually:
"Who is Mr. Li Li Gongde who is serving porridge? He is a subordinate of King Qin?"
"Li Gongde is a very rich man in Zhongzhou." Old Man Wuku explained:
"I heard that among the four wealthy businessmen in the imperial capital today, Li Gongde ranks second..."
"Li Gongde seems to believe in the theory of merit. Although he is a wealthy man in Zhongzhou, he often assists the Great Yan court in providing disaster relief and porridge in the name of accumulating merit."
"He is originally from the Imperial Capital. I heard that he came here specially to rebuild the Great Qin Mansion."
Extremely rich?
Coincidentally, Qiao Mu also happened to know one of the four richest men in the imperial capital, and his name was Wan Ronghua.
Not to mention Wan Ronghua, the descendants of his family were generous and kind people. Part of Qiao Mu's money to buy a house in the imperial capital came from this kind person.
"Wanjia, I heard that he also has a background in the Immortal Way and has climbed to the top of the Daoist Sect..." Qiao Mu thought.
In today's era when the Nine Immortal Sects are overpowering the mortal world, even the Great Yan court is more or less controlled by the Immortal Sects, not to mention wealthy private businessmen.
When a wealthy businessman reaches the level of Wan Ronghua, he will naturally recruit god-refining warriors as worshipers to work hard to please the immortal sect.
Therefore, Qiao Mu speculated that Li Gongde, who came all the way from the imperial capital to Da Qin Mansion, might also be related to the Immortal Sect.
At this moment, there was a commotion among the crowd.
"Master Li Gongde is here..."
"Mr. Li Dashan came here to give porridge in person?"
Qiao Mu followed the sound and saw a rich middle-aged man with a round face coming from the corner of the street, accompanied by several expert guards with bulging temples.
Li Gongde was born quite wealthy, and his facial features and appearance were very kind, especially the faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, which looked like a Maitreya Buddha.
When a person like Li Gongde came in person, he was naturally the focus of attention. People of all ages and children in line were very grateful and naturally thanked him when they saw him coming.
And this Li Gongde didn't have any airs. He stood on the roadside and chatted with the poor people waiting in line for porridge. After finishing the conversation, a middle-aged director behind him quickly walked forward and gave the poor people he was talking to some broken silver. ---The latter naturally felt grateful again.
Li Gongde smiled brightly. He was not only here to give porridge, but also to express condolences to the craftsmen and laborers in the suburbs.
This look is very similar to the leaders Qiao Mu had seen in his previous life who came to the front line to inspect the work. The only difference is... Li Gongde is always followed by a few middle-aged directors. Every time Li Gongde verbally praises the workers, he will Just put some broken silver in it.
He is just like a walking boy who distributes money.
The power of money is far greater than verbal praise.
After Li Gongde made such a trip, he didn't know how much money he distributed. Anyway, the smiles on the faces of these poor people and workers were visible to the naked eye, which was really inspiring.
"Are you really here to gain merit?" Qiao Mu cursed.
After Li Gongde left, Qiao Mu, Hai Siyuan and other old soldiers came in to discuss how to quietly evacuate the women, children, disabled people and the elderly from the isolated city.
After all, their next target is King Qin and the Taoist cultivators behind King Qin.
If the women and children in the city were still there, they would be more or less likely to throw themselves at rats.
"I really want to kill King Qin to ashes..." Qiao Mu felt itchy, but he held it back.
