Chapter 400 Dark Sun
Without stopping, Chi Xuan waved his hand, and a spiritual formation rose from the threshold, stopping Captain Chu who wanted to walk out of the Taoist temple.
The gate of the Taoist temple is very tall, and the curtain-like ripples turn into ripples and hang down from the top. The light lines are shining, forming a resistance when Chu Ge approaches, stopping his steps.
Chu Ge, who stopped when he hit the wall, stood there, watching Chi Xuan's leaving back and shouted: "Why must we resist!"
Chi Xuan, who had already walked a few steps, paused slightly, but his profile did not turn completely, as if he was thinking about why he had changed from a down-and-out Taoist priest who was just waiting for death to look like this.
Although those days were difficult, they are nostalgic.
Even if I am hungry, I can only eat dry green fruits.
All this did not change at that time, but happened after such a great epidemic occurred in Jicheng.
He originally just wanted to save some people and do good deeds in the hope that his cultivation could move forward with such help. However, the county magistrate from the imperial court came after him and wanted his life.
"If there is a real reason, it's probably that I can't live anymore."
After saying that, Chi Xuan used the earth escape technique to leave the Taoist temple.
The incense statue inside the temple looks forward, as if looking at the creatures in the world. The incense and wish power gathered into cumulus clouds, covering the sky above Jicheng, and subtle changes occurred as the statue breathed.
The clay sculpture of incense sitting cross-legged on the high lotus platform is like holding the seal of the left and right hands to absorb the incense. The face is as cold as mountains and rivers with a strange divinity and a touch of horror. Only the eyes can move in the whole body. When Chu Ge wants to get closer, when turning it over.
The banners hanging from above were embroidered with different evil spirits, and some of them had scriptures that he couldn't understand. The maroon handwriting looked a little weird. If you looked closely, the words seemed to be slowly moving on the large and small banners. Moving.
Not only these large and small flags, but also the relief paintings on the walls of the Taoist temples look wonderful, as if demon soldiers and ghost generals are fighting on the clouds with the support of drums, and they are even more extraordinary against the background of the smoke and clouds.
"Incense from the imperial court."
"A two-foot-three-four wild god."
"The rampant soldiers and ghost generals who are worshiped by the people."
"..."
"A true cultivator with a high level of cultivation has given up the great path to pursue such power."
Chu Ge had a hard time understanding that official position could indeed improve a person's cultivation level quickly, even to a level beyond the reach of ordinary people. But after losing the weapon and reputation, one's own strength will weaken. Why would a true practitioner with a great future need to practice such an unreliable method?
"The court underestimated him."
"Maybe……"
Chu Ge sighed. It was not his place to comment on whether the court was wrong or not. The Demon-Conquering Yamen could only do its job of slaying demons and exterminating demons. Their cultivation method itself restricted them from entering the court.
Suddenly feeling a chill on his back, Chu Ge realized that he was so close to the statue, and the pressure of prison was already pressing on his shoulders.
After taking two steps back, the statue returned to its normal appearance.
Seeing that he couldn't get closer, he got up and walked to the back hall. Chu Ge originally thought that Chi Xuan would let him stay under the watchful eye of the clay statue, but he did not expect that he could easily walk past the statue and enter the back hall.
The underground Taoist temple has a large space, with many houses and connected pavilions and pavilions, so you can't feel the changes between day and night. More importantly, the aura inside the Taoist temple is several times that of the outside world.
After passing through several pavilions, the power of incense and spiritual energy became more distinct, and the richness of the spiritual energy even reached the level of the Demon-Conquering Yamen in the county.
"Is there a spiritual vein underground?" Chu Ge continued to walk out, but was stopped by a young man wearing a Taoist robe. The young man smiled and said: "Then further back is the place where the master retreats. Distinguished guests cannot enter."
"Retreat."
There is no distinguished guest with handcuffs and shackles. Besides, saying that he is a distinguished guest blocks his way. He is more like a prisoner now.
"My two flag officers..."
"Dear guest, please come with me." After saying this, the boy made a gesture of invitation and walked in front to guide Chu Ge.
Chu Ge found that there were quite a few people in the Taoist temple, and most of them had a sense of cultivation. However, there were very few pure Qi practitioners, and he only saw two Qi practitioners along the way.
"Master Chu." Mingyang quickly turned over and tried to get up from the ground. He wanted to try to rush out just now, but as soon as he moved his cultivation, he felt as if he was being suppressed by a mountain and couldn't move.
The young man in Taoist robe frowned and reprimanded: "This is how you treat our distinguished guest, and you still don't help the distinguished guest up."
"Yes, senior brother."
…
The gray shadow left the soul flag and appeared next to Chi Xuan.
The black robe solidified in the mist and was draped on the gray shadow.
Standing on the heights of the county government office and overlooking the entire Jicheng City, Tu Shanjun's hands changed.
The clay sculptures in those homes emitted light, turning into streaks of rainbow light invisible to ordinary people and pouring into the red-yellow incense clouds in the sky, and the clouds fluttered according to the formation design.
The breath of the world is covered by the power of incense and aspiration.
"fall."
The eight small flags prepared for sacrifice were thrown out casually and landed in eight different positions in the sky. As the flags fell, the incense and wish power above divided into eight parts and reunited.
The formation diagram of the 'Eight Pillar Entrapment Qi Locking Formation' was revealed for only a moment, and then the replaced eight-pole flag had returned to Tushanjun's hand and was stored in the storage bag on his waist.
Chi Xuan felt that his power was continuously gathering, as if he had become a part of the county, and could use the incense body under the yamen to control the incense in the entire county.
Tu Shanjun said: "In a few days, when the incense and fire god's body is condensed, you can start refining Ji County into your dojo."
"At that time, as long as there are successors of incense and wish power, the divine body can be activated." Tu Shanjun has already prepared the way forward for Chi Xuan, which he has also used in Daheishan.
However, compared to the current slow accumulation, Tu Shanjun directly usurped the dojo and incense body of the Black Mountain Ghost King, surpassing the initial accumulation, and there was no incense erosion, so his strength has improved so much.
"How long does the devil think this time will take?" On the county government office tower, Chi Xuan quietly felt his own cultivation. His true cultivation had broken through to the middle stage of foundation building.
If he were to fight Chu Ge again now, he would be confident that he would win easily instead of going all out like he did in the beginning.
The improvement of his cultivation level was due to the elixir provided by Tushanjun. If he became resistant to the elixir, he would change it to another elixir. If impurities accumulated, help him refine it so that no impurities in the elixir would remain at all.
Forget it, Tu Shanjun also knows the scriptures he practices very well, and he can correct them if there is any error in the operation. Chi Xuan even felt that he could reach the pinnacle of cultivation without touching the Tao in a short period of time.
As the sun set, Chi Xuan stared at the two round suns in the distant mountains and frowned, "Isn't the sun a little darker?"
Tu Shanjun had actually noticed a long time ago that the two suns in the sky still looked bright, but in fact one of them was much dimmer, and the other one was also flickering a bit.
"There is indeed a problem. Judging from the current depleted spiritual energy, it is difficult for even the golden elixir cultivator to appear." Tu Shanjun said calmly, but unfortunately he did not get the information he wanted from the head of Huang Ci, the demon cultivator. information.
With such spiritual energy, it is already very difficult to satisfy the foundation-building monks, let alone the golden elixir monks.
The strength of Fang Dongtian seems to be not as powerful as Rakshasa Xu Dongtian.
At that time, when he and Ding Xie were absorbing the evil spirit in Dongyuan, they fought against the golden elixir monks in Rakshasa Xudongtian. Two golden elixir masters were sent there, and another golden elixir monk was sent to fight with the real person Chiyun.
Master Chiyun is a great monk in the late Jindan period. He is from the Wanfa Sect and is based in Dongyuan. He can crush ordinary monks of the same level. Being able to fight against such a monk is enough to show that the golden elixir monks in Rakshasa Xudongtian are Not vulgar.
Of course, one cannot make such conjectures. After all, they have not yet encountered the top combat power above the strength of the golden elixir. Maybe the great monks here are even more extraordinary because of the incense path.
"We don't have much time left."
Looking at the dim two-wheeled sun, Tushanjun murmured softly, feeling a bit of urgency in his heart. His Tao is not perfect yet, and Chi Xuan's magic power is not enough to support his attack.
The distant mountains meet the sky.
Just after dusk.
Mist enveloped the earth, and three bright moons hung high, sprinkling silver gauze dust.
Most of the county fell into silence, and the night passed like this.
Life is not the same as before, but Erzhu doesn't know what's different, it should be getting better. When I was groggy in the morning, I had already put on my shorts and walked out of the house.
I have to rush to the early market today to buy some bulk goods, and there is something important to do.
The cool breeze took away his laziness. While shivering, he saw a government servant in official uniform guarding the door of the morning market, with what looked like an archway standing next to him.
A group of people going to the market gathered in front of the archway and chatted.
"The county magistrate decided to connect the Long River and divert a tributary to irrigate the crops. The county government officials who were drafted had two meals a day, all of which were thick, and they were also given three cash wages every day."
"Those who want to sign up should go to the scribe to register and make a register."
"Is it reliable? It won't be about recruiting strong men to do corvee work, right?"
"It's said that we will be paid, but who knows the details, maybe we will be made to work as coolies."
"..."
"I regestrated!"
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to that place, and the person who stood up with his hand raised was Er Zhu who was rushing to the early market. It was not because he was in charge of food and wages, but because the general asked them to sign up early.
With a leader in charge, the ruffian who had no livelihood suddenly felt like he could have some fun.
"I am coming too."
"Take me, take me."
The originally deserted clerk's desk suddenly became crowded.
The notice of the county government providing work-for-relief did not cause much trouble. As long as the money was actually given to take care of the food, people would naturally participate. Anyway, there is less busy farming now, so it is better to go and have a few meals while lying at home.
Not to mention the victims fleeing famine. They have no land to farm and can only rely on charity from the yamen. Those with skills can still support themselves. Those who have nothing can only rely on begging and government assistance.
The monks in the yamen often went hungry and often went hungry. Later, the Chitianhui appeared in the county government. Those who gave porridge said that as long as they sincerely worshiped Chitianjun, they would get food, so they switched to it again.
There were many memorial arches raised, and there were police officers and scribes on standby at the city gates and street corners.
It took more than ten days to recruit all the manpower needed.
Three months later.
Eighty-nine percent of the Long River tributary channels have been constructed.
In recent days, there have been many people wearing red hairbands in Longxian County, talking mysteriously to others. This matter also reached the county government in Long County, making the county government more vigilant.
Make up for the update. Yesterday’s update was in the early morning of this morning, so tomorrow is the 21st. Make up one update today and two updates tomorrow.
