Chapter 333 The trigger for the fall of Yuling Realm (6.7k 1800 monthly votes plus)
Beixuan City.
Located at the intersection of Xuanyang Realm and Yuling Realm in the north and south, it is a new city that has only been established for more than ten years.
As mentioned before, the Xuanyang Sect rules over the Xuanyang Realm that spans hundreds of thousands of miles. The main map is the Xuanyang Sect's mountain gate and the territory of the Eight Heavenly Cities. The actual area under its control is actually less than one-third of the entire Xuanyang Realm.
There are also vast areas of wilderness that have not received attention.
For example, Xuanyang Sect previously built the ninth heavenly city for Wanyou Tianjun.
Because Wanyou Tianjun opened a version of the bank for the world of immortality, the wealth moved people's hearts. Nearly double digits of Yuanying Zhenjun took action at the same time. Not only did Wanyou Tianjun become heavily in debt, he became anonymous and never appeared again. He also directly transferred Wanyou Tianjun to Youtiancheng was beaten until the spiritual veins were scrapped.
Without the spiritual veins of Tiancheng, the cost of governance increased, and Xuanyang Sect gradually gave up on the ninth Tiancheng.
The territory that originally belonged to Wanyou Tiancheng was reduced to a wilderness.
But that doesn't mean there's no value here.
But the value contained here is not enough for the Xuanyang Sect to start a war. As long as the wild cultivators living here are sensible, don't cause trouble, and show filial piety every year, the Xuanyang Sect will not have nothing to do but send people to exterminate and manage them.
But Xuanyang Sect doesn't care, but today's Datonghui and True Monarch Great Love do.
It was the 110th year of the Datong calendar, which was fifteen years ago.
The True Monarch of Great Love, whom everyone respects, admires, and worships, stared at the map of Xuanyang Realm for a long time, and then waved his hand, and the order to open up wasteland in the north came into being.
Countless monks left their hometowns, took their families with them, stepped on the newly built roads of the Datong Society, and headed north impassionedly to open up wasteland in the north. They wanted to pay for the Datong Society and work hard to build the country of Datong.
Those second-order spiritual veins and third-order spiritual veins hidden in desolate places began to be used.
As for the scattered cultivators in the wilderness who used to be hidden here and were not taken seriously by Xuanyang Sect, but were independent in their own way, they were naturally crushed to pieces under the rolling wheels of history. Only monks who are flexible and know how to adapt are qualified to join the Datong family.
Beixuan City is a new city built under this background.
Opposite it is the border city of Yuling Realm, Xiaotie City.
Although the two cities are only separated by a thin line, the scenes in the two places are completely different.
Ordinary people in Beixuan City live and work in peace and contentment. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset every day. If they have nothing to do, they can go into the city to have a drink and listen to a tune. Although their days are not extravagant, they are still quite leisurely.
After all, with the monk's ability, it is really difficult to encounter major natural disasters.
Droughts, floods, and insect pests do not exist at all.
If there is no water, then open rivers and call for wind and rain. Besides, which spiritual farmer doesn't know how to use small clouds and rain.
When there is a flood, build dams to divert the river water, or even summon the sun to burn away the flood...
As for man-made disasters, with Datonghui there, stability is a must.
However, Xiao Tiecheng is filled with resentment among the people. There are monks from the Shang Sect above, oppression and exploitation by the local powerful, and monsters below that cause chaos from time to time. Their lives are not guaranteed, and people are killed by monsters almost every day.
Although Xiao Tiecheng is not on the front line of the war, no one is immune to the war.
Large groups of demonic beasts cannot break through the defense line deployed by the Yuling Sect, but small groups of troops are difficult to avoid.
Even if True Lord Nascent Soul were to guard it personally, it would be impossible for him to patrol all directions all the time.
Not to mention that it is impossible for the superior Nascent Soul Lord to strain his noble body and waste any precious practice time just to reduce the number of monsters scurrying behind.
You must know that many true monarchs of Xuanyang Sect were willing to inspect many areas of responsibility in Xuanyang Realm. One was that Yu Xian took the teaching decree as the orthodoxy, and had the power of the venerable as a deterrent. He also had life-saving talismans always on hand, making life safe. Only by being threatened and with the carrot of merit hanging in the air can many true kings take action willingly.
But the Yuling Sect does not have a true king of great love.
As a result, in just a few decades, the density of active monsters in Yuling, which was already accustomed to raising monsters, skyrocketed.
However, the cultivation level of the lower-level monks could not be matched.
How could a group of peasants from the world of immortality who were at the second or third level of Qi training and knew only the Fireball Technique and no fighting experience, be able to defeat a monster beast that was strong, good at hunting, and capable of spells.
If only that was it.
After all, not many died.
Even if ten or eight people die in a day, compared to a city with a population of hundreds of thousands or nearly a million, these casualties are nothing.
The city lord who is obsessed with controlling Xiao Tiecheng is colluding with the local powerful, colluding up and down, and often adding more and more to the 45% tax originally set by the Yuling Sect in the name of suppressing demons.
No matter natural or man-made disasters or monsters causing chaos, they are not reasons for not paying taxes.
If you don't pay taxes, how can the city lord protect everyone's safety? How can you organize patrols to regularly eliminate the threat of monsters?
So ordinary monks had worked hard for generations and finally saved a few acres of spiritual land. After a few back and forth, it became the land of the master above.
Countless spiritual farmers and small landowners went bankrupt and became tenant farmers or even serfs of others.
There is no way to escape.
Farming for the city lord and the rich clan, at least you can get a little bit of safety.
If you dare to escape to the barren mountains and forests, you will be delivering food to the growing group of monsters.
That’s all.
After all, you are not the only one suffering, so you will finally feel better psychologically.
And after so many years, the new generation has grown up, and it seems that everyone around them has been through this, and they think this is normal.
It just so happened that Beixuan City was built next door at this time.
The distance between the two cities is only a hundred miles, and even a monk with only superficial cultivation can easily walk back and forth in one day.
As a result, people had a peaceful time there, and I left it here to bear the burden and move forward.
Everyone is at the bottom, and there are seniors and lords above us, so why is the gap so big?
The most important thing is that monsters also bully the weak and fear the strong.
The monsters have nothing to do here and come down the mountain to make tooth sacrifices. When they go there, they go down the mountain to give tooth sacrifices to people.
So later on, the monsters learned to be smart, and the border line was like a line of life and death, and they would never be crossed easily.
what is this?
Many low-level monks in Xiao Tiecheng will have a question about this.
Later everyone understood that it was Datonghui!
This great organization founded by the True Monarch of Great Love, with the core concept of "Everyone is for me, I am for everyone", truly allows every monk who rules the Great Harmony to receive the respect and protection they deserve.
The information about the Great Union was pieced together bit by bit, and it became news that the low-level monks in Xiaotie City liked to talk about in their spare time.
If anyone can say a few words about the True Monarch of Great Love, he will suddenly become the center of the crowd, as if he is also a person under the rule of the Great Harmony.
As a result, everyone became more enthusiastic about learning and discussing everything about Datonghui.
Then as they continued to learn, an idea gradually emerged in everyone's mind.
It would be great if Xiao Tiecheng was also managed by Datonghui.
But no one dared to be the first to mention such a thing.
As early as a few years ago, as more and more people fled to Beixuan City next door, Xiao Tiecheng's patrol team became more diligent. They not only guarded all roads leading to the next door, but also dealt with all attempts seriously. The one who ran away.
Anyone caught would have their heads hung at the city gate the next day.
If the patrol team is in a bad mood, they will even sit down together, and even relatives and friends will not be able to escape.
Most of the lower-level monks are in the early stage of Qi training and only know a few simple spells. They can deal with ordinary people and beasts. However, it is not easy to escape to Beixuan City if they really have to cross mountains and avoid the threat of monsters.
Not to mention the presence of patrols.
This group of people dealt with the monsters with all their might, but against their own people, it was easy to deal with them.
So as more and more corpses were hung at the city gate, the once excited heart became silent and did not dare to move easily.
But the corpses hanging at the city gates from time to time tell everyone that there are always people who resist.
…
Sledgehammer Village, it is said that the first village chief was a foundation-building monk who was good at using Sledgehammer spiritual weapons, hence its name.
This village is one of the many farms under Xiao Tiecheng.
Originally, Dachui Village was considered a pure land under the protection of the village chief, Wang Wanchui, a foundation-building monk.
After all, it has been passed down for so many years that the village chief and the villagers have close relatives. Even if the village chief is the largest landowner, for the sake of his own reputation, he will not treat his relatives too harshly.
But as the war on the front lines intensifies, more and more monsters are wandering behind.
One day, a lone second-level monster wandered into the village somehow.
The village chief, who had been pampered for many years, controlled the ancestral sledgehammer and fought with the monster in darkness and strong winds. Then he heroically suffered serious injuries. He held on for half a year and then passed away.
As a result, the house leaked and it rained all night.
The village chief's heir failed to build a foundation in a hurry and incurred a debt for it.
Without the deterrence of the foundation-building monks, Sledgehammer Village became a piece of fat.
Taking the village chief's debt as an opportunity, it didn't take long for the entire spiritual field of Dachui Village to become the private land of the Zhou family in the city. The villagers naturally became tenant farmers of the Zhou family and began to work for the Zhou family in farming.
But the Zhou family is not the village chief, and has no relationship with the villagers. Not only does it show no mercy at all, but it also tries hard to squeeze out the value of each person.
In the end, more and more people can't stand it, and the wind of Datong will blow here if it's okay.
Finally someone was moved.
This day.
The sun sets at the end of the field, and dusk gradually falls.
After Wang Miao had dinner, he was about to turn on the lamp and go to sleep when he heard a noise coming from outside the courtyard. He secretly buttoned up a fireball charm that he kept close to his body and carefully looked through the window.
At this age, monsters often attack and eat people at night, so they are very sensitive to movements at night.
No matter how difficult life is, you should prepare some attack talismans as backup.
Although it may not necessarily work, once you have the talisman, you feel like you have a guarantee and you don't have to be worried all the time.
By the moonlight, Wang Miao recognized the dark figure as his eldest son Wang He, who had been away from home for three years.
Three years ago, the eldest son was dissatisfied that a young master of the Zhou family had robbed his unmarried daughter-in-law, so he took action in anger. As a result, he was seriously injured by a servant beside him without even seeing the young master's face.
Later, Wang He's injuries improved and he disappeared.
People in the village helped search for him for a while, but there were too many missing people these days, so there was little movement.
"Hewazi!"
Wang Miao pushed the door open and suppressed her excited voice.
"father!"
Wang He was quite tall and good-looking, but there was a deep whip mark embedded in his face, which gave him a bit more fierceness.
"The baby is back!"
He fell to his knees.
"Where have you been all these years?"
Wang Miao hurriedly picked up his son, took him into the house, lit the oil lamp, and asked about that year.
The child's mother passed away early, and he was a father and a mother, which stretched the child so much. When his son disappeared, he was the saddest one.
"Second brother, where is third sister?"
Wang He glanced around and saw that there was no movement in the two cabins next door, so he couldn't help but ask.
Wang Miao was silent for a while and said: "After you disappeared, I found a family for your second brother. We have separated from him, and the third sister has also married to the next village. In order to avoid us being involved."
Wang He looked stunned: "Father, do you know everything?"
Wang Miao smiled bitterly: "Zhizi Mo Ruofu, don't you know what you think about me as a father? I was just guessing at first, but now it seems that I guessed it right. There really is something like the legend in Beixuan City. good?
Now that you've gone, why bother coming back. Or are those legends all lies? "
There was excitement hidden in Wang He's expression: "Dad, it's all true! And it's even better than the legend. Not long after I went there, I was allocated a spiritual field. I only had to pay 50% of the tax. I was willing to do it myself and opened up two acres of spiritual land." Fields, these spiritual fields only need to pay 30% tax for the first ten years.
Other than that, you don’t have to pay any taxes.
By the way, Dad, I also joined the Datong Association and am now a member of the Datong Association.
The Datong Association also taught me how to practice. It is not an incomplete skill with only two or three levels, nor is it a low-level skill that is useless except for practicing Qi. It is a real skill that can be practiced all the way to the level of building a building. An intermediate level skill at the base level.
If you achieve meritorious service in the future, you can also learn advanced skills.
I am now married to a wife, and my life is very happy.
When I came back this time, I just wanted to pick up my father and my younger brothers and sisters. "
Wang Miao was dazzled and even felt like he was dreaming.
"Hewazi, is everything you said true?"
He couldn't help pinching his thigh, it hurt.
"Of course it's true. You are my father. How can I, my son, lie to you? After I arrived in Beixuan City, I realized that the days before were not lived by human beings. Datong Association has an inspection department that specializes in helping our department.
When we were bullied, we went to the Supervision Department to complain.
Not long ago, a foundation-building monk accidentally killed an ordinary person, and took the initiative to go to the Supervision Department to admit his punishment. In the end, he paid ten spiritual stones to the family of the deceased. If a monk was successful in Qi training, he would have paid the compensation. Just more.
In our place, when ordinary people are killed by foundation-building monks, their families have to apologize to avoid being angered and punished. "
"You have to pay so much." Wang Miao couldn't help but take a breath and asked doubtfully: "But the senior there is so easy to talk to, so he is willing to pay?"
Wang He grinned and said: "Of course he won't, but Datong will be willing to make the decision for us. If he dares to escape, he will have to pay more than ten spirit stones. If he can't be caught in the end, I heard that even Jindan Master They will all be shocked."
"hiss……"
Wang Miao swallowed, completely shocked by her son's words.
"Zhenren Jindan, he is in the same realm as the city lord. A being with great supernatural powers would actually stand up for an ordinary person?"
"Of course."
Wang He said with pride on his face: "Otherwise, why would we call it Datonghui? True Lord Great Love said that we monks farm and pay taxes for Datonghui, so they have the responsibility and obligation to protect us.
Moreover, Datonghui’s Jindan Zhenren is different from other places. It is called Datong Zhenren.
Because they were able to break through the Jindan realm because of the help of Datonghui.
So after Datonghui helps them, they have to help us, and only then can we help Datonghui farm with peace of mind.
This means everyone is for me and I am for everyone. "
When Wang Miao heard this, his eyes glowed with light, and he couldn't help but murmured:
"I love you so much, you are truly a great man."
"Dad, tomorrow you go and inform the second brother and the third sister that our whole family will move there."
But his son's words interrupted Wang Miao's fantasy.
"no!"
Wang Miao shook his head and said: "The patrol team is not a vegetarian. If we are a big family, if we are caught, we will all be executed. Although the life now is a bit bitter, we can get through it.
If the entire family dies, the roots of the Wang family will be cut off. "
Wang Miao suddenly woke up and pushed his son out.
"Hewazi, since Beixuan City and Datong Club are so good, just stay there and don't worry about home. If you live well, we will have hope here."
"Now that there is no one at night, you should leave quickly and don't let anyone see you."
Wang He was pushed and staggered, but he quickly regained his footing and said seriously:
"Dad, I came back this time just to lead you to a better life. Don't worry, I have figured out the way. Even if I am really caught in the end, I am a member of Datonghui and have already joined Datonghui. Roster.
The patrol didn't dare touch me.
True Monarch of Great Love is a big shot in the sky, a big shot that even the city lord’s superiors cannot compare to. "
Wang Miao was startled, thinking of the life in Datong described by his son. In a few simple words, it was a life that he could not even imagine.
His dark face seemed as frozen as a sculpture, except for his thick Adam's apple that kept sliding on his lean neck.
"Dad, don't you want to see if what I said is true?"
Seeing that his father was moved, Wang He quickly added fuel to the fire.
"Even if this kind of life happens in a hundred years, it won't be as good as the day over there."
Wang Miao confirmed again: "Are you really sure that the patrol team doesn't dare to kill you?"
Seeing this, Wang He took out a copper token from his arms and said:
"Dad, this is the token of the Datong Hui Lingtian Division. Your son has now worshiped the True Monarch of Great Love. The adults above also said that your son has the ability to build a foundation. Otherwise, I have only been here for a few years. Time, how can there be such a big change.
How dare I come to pick you and your brothers and sisters up now?
Don't worry, our Lao Wang family won't be bullied again this time. "
Wang Miao finally made up his mind and said: "Your third sister is already married, so we don't have to take her with you. Just leave the rest of the house and spiritual stones to her. With your second brother, I will look for opportunities to test one time.
If he is willing to leave, he will take his wife with us.
If he doesn't want to, I will die if I die. "
Wang He pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Just listen to dad."
"You hide in the house and don't go out these two days. I will come to you after discussing with your second brother."
Wang Miao felt her heart beating very fast, but she also felt a sense of excitement that couldn't wait.
He turned to look at the darkness outside the window, never looking forward to tomorrow as much as he did now.
…
On the third day, it was night and the ugly time had passed.
Wang He and his father brought the packaged gifts and waited anxiously in the house.
"Why don't you come over?"
Wang He looked up at the night and couldn't help but ask again.
"Dad, are you talking about the current time?"
Wang Miao also felt his temples twitching. Although his son was very confident, it was a life-threatening matter. How could he not be nervous?
"It's now, why haven't you come yet?"
He stared closely at the dancing flames on the table, and suddenly remembered the times when his second son hesitated to speak to him, and he seemed to understand something.
"broken!"
"Hewazi, leave quickly! I'm afraid Jiangwazi won't come!"
Wang He was about to ask why when he heard a bang.
The courtyard door was kicked open, and then a arrogant voice sounded.
"Wang He, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for several years, you would actually escape to Beixuan City. But if you don't stay well there and dare to come back to cause trouble, I think you are impatient with life!"
"This is Wang Bao."
Wang Miao recognized who it was. It was the village head chosen by the Zhou family in Dachui Village. Although he was also a member of the Wang family, he treated his own family members even more harshly than outsiders.
Otherwise, he would not be able to hold the position of village chief.
He quickly pushed his eldest son towards the back window.
"Hewazi, daddy can't help you this time. He didn't realize that Jiangwazi would betray us. You hurry up and I'll stop them."
He took out the fireball talisman that he had prepared and was about to rush outside, but was grabbed by his eldest son.
"Dad, have you forgotten my identity? It's okay. It must be okay."
Wang He took out his token, pretended to be calm, and walked out of the house.
Sure enough, they saw the new village chief and a group of people almost filling the entire small courtyard. His second brother Wang Jiang was hiding timidly behind, being held up by the collar by a big man, who was obviously leading the way.
"Why?"
Wang He couldn't help but ask.
Wang Jiang looked at his eldest brother whom he hadn't seen for three years, his eyes were red, and he said guiltily:
"Brother, I'm sorry, but Hongling is pregnant with my child, and I can't let her take risks."
"I'm asking you why you betrayed me!"
Wang He roared angrily: "If you don't want to leave, then why don't you come out to me and dad!"
"Of course it's because if I catch you two, I'll get ten spiritual stones."
The village chief, Wang Bao, is a big man seven feet tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist. He stands like a thick tree. He replied with a smile.
"You untouchables have escaped too much. The higher ups have issued a message that if you report someone, you will be rewarded with five spiritual stones. You two will receive ten spiritual stones."
"is that true?"
Wang He still had some unrealistic expectations.
Wang Jiang turned his head, not daring to look into his elder brother's eyes, and whispered in defense:
"It was Hong Ling who said that the baby was going to be born soon and she needed money..."
Wang He finally gave up, looked at Wang Bao, raised his token and said, "I am from the Datong Association."
But he never thought that Wang Bao didn't even look at him. He took a step forward and was like a wild bear hitting a tree. Wang He, who had already entered the middle stage of Qi training, had no resistance at all. He was knocked out and fell heavily into the main hall, his chest If it is recessed directly, more air will come in and less air will come out.
"What a great union, it won't work here!"
Wang Bao, who is a body cultivator and has reached the late stage of the first level, laughed ferociously and said disdainfully:
"I thought I had something to rely on, but it turned out to be so vulnerable."
Then he waved back.
"Tie them all up, and then pick up the tokens, lest the authorities say we just caught two random people to cheat the bounty."
Then a group of dog legs came out like tigers and caught Wang Miao and his son and took them away.
The Wang family courtyard fell into silence.
"Village, village chief, you said you would not kill my father and my brother."
Wang Jiang walked over and said timidly.
"When did I say that? They dared to escape and die without mercy!"
Wang Bao glared, and scared Wang Jiang back a few steps, almost falling, but Wang Bao laughed.
"So, what about the reward?"
Wang Jiang swallowed nervously and looked at Wang Bao carefully.
"By the way, there's also a bounty."
Wang Bao threw a thumb-sized low-grade spiritual stone and it fell to the ground.
"Why only one piece?"
Seeing this small piece of spiritual stone, Wang Jiang became so angry that he even forgot about fear.
"The village chief brings so many people here at night, doesn't he want any reward?"
Wang Bao snorted coldly: "If you dare to talk too much, you won't get a piece of it."
The courage Wang Jiang had just aroused fell instantly. He bent down with difficulty to pick up the only spiritual stone, and staggered out, his movements extremely embarrassing.
"Ma De, why haven't you noticed before that Wang Jiang looks like a dog?"
Wang Bao's joke that he thought was humorous made all his subordinates burst into laughter.
…
Early next morning.
Two cold corpses appeared at the gate of Xiao Tiecheng, one old and one strong. A notice was posted, specifically stating their identities and the reasons for their execution.
Most of the passers-by are numb and have become accustomed to strange things.
But there were also some people whose eyes flashed when they saw the words "Datonghui" on the notice that seemed particularly dazzling.
However, no matter what they are now, they would not have expected the changes these two corpses would bring to Xiao Tiecheng and even the entire Yuling Realm.
