There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 54 Zhao Qing’s Analysis (Please read and collect)
  When Wang Ping returned to the small courtyard where Qianmuguan was stationed, he saw Zhao Qing sitting at the temporary round table in the courtyard with a depressed look on his face. He was accompanied by ten inner disciples and twenty Jianghu guests surrounding the entrance to the east courtyard. nearby.

"Senior brother!" Seeing Wang Ping walking into the small courtyard, Zhao Qing stood up immediately to greet him.

"Isn't it too difficult for you?" Wang Ping suddenly felt a little funny, and at the same time he became more alert.

"That's not true. I just feel quite depressed."

"It's okay if you don't..." Wang Ping sat down at the round table and said, "Is there any news from outside?"

"I heard some news, but it's not good news..."

Zhao Qing sat opposite Wang Ping and sighed and said: "This time things in Yongming Port have become out of control. The Governor's Yamen has assembled [-] soldiers and [-] militiamen, and [-] main forces have gathered in Ning'an City. The remaining [-] soldiers were divided into five groups, each group had [-] soldiers, and the militiamen recruited themselves."

"Then there is the Daozang Hall, which has summoned hundreds of Qi practitioners. I heard that another third-level monk from the Zhenyang Sect has arrived. In addition to the previous one, there are already two third-level monks... and the Taiyin Sect. The evil cultivators are causing trouble, this time... it’s best to be more cautious, don’t stand out in everything, and let those who like to stand out do it.”

"Any more?"

"Yes, there are signs of riots on Mozhou Road, so the new troops trained by various governments dare not be mobilized!" Zhao Qing said quickly: "Some places on Mozhou Road have not appointed local officials for five or six consecutive years. Only the governor's office is still functioning, but I guess they are all trying to protect themselves."

He lowered his voice when he said this, "It's not that I think too much, but there is something weird in it. The measures taken by the imperial court in the past two years are obvious, and they want to train a new army on Nanlin Road to completely solve the problem of Mozhou Road. You see, as soon as the turmoil in the country started to get better, something unexpected happened on Nanlin Road."

When Wang Ping heard what he said, he felt that it was really possible.

Zhao Qing took a breath and said as if he was mocking: "According to the tradition of the royal family, the throne will have to be passed on to the next generation in less than five years... As long as it disrupts the court's plan, everything will have to start again when the new king takes the throne."

"Who did you say these words to?"

"I'm not stupid."

Wang Ping stared at Zhao Qing for a while, then changed the subject and said, "Where is the information about the rat demon?"

"I haven't had time to check yet..."

...

Qianlongkou.

Located fifty miles to the north of Yuma County, it is the mouth of the Wushen River. There are traces of man-made diversions here. From a height, it looks like a giant dragon entrenched. There are reinforced dams on both sides of the river bank, and dock supply stations have also been built.

A few days ago, there were a lot of merchant ships here, and merchants were constantly coming and going. But now there were only two warships from the imperial court. The ships were carrying sealed fish oil. Hundreds of shirtless strong men were loading the sealed bags with fish oil. The barrel was moved to the North Shore Pier. On the top of the Ma Tou Manufacturing Bureau building, more than a dozen Qi practitioners looked coldly at the corpse soldiers wandering on the other side.

Walking sixty or seventy kilometers west along the river bank, you can see the mouth of a dangerous canyon, where thousands of corvees are building a city. Dozens of catapults are lined up on the high ground to the east, dropping huge rocks filled with fish oil from time to time. , smashing into the corpse soldiers gathered on the other side of the river.

On the other side of the river... there is smoke. The farmland, forests and a few houses on both sides of the official road are being devoured by fire. The wandering corpse soldiers have no awareness of the flames and are still wandering silently in the fire until their bodies are burned by the flames. ash.

On the edge of the flowing river on the north bank, Wang Ping was leading his disciples to build a simple spirit gathering array according to Taoist Yuanqing's instructions. Its function is to drive the large-scale Xuanmen spells arranged outside the camp to keep the wind blowing southward. , to prevent the smoke caused by the fire from sweeping to the north bank, and at the same time, it can also help the fire on the south bank.

They worked until dark, and the fire on the opposite side showed no sign of being extinguished. Returning to the camp, there was only a frame of the walled city when we left in the morning. At this moment, the wooden city wall had surrounded the entire canyon. The sergeants in the Chinese army camp were living and cooking. The militiamen on both sides would shout curses from time to time. They also Practicing harder.

The camp of the Daozang Hall Qi Practitioners is on the western cliff of the two highlands of the canyon. Only Qi Practitioners can get up here, and the view is excellent. From a better location, you can even see the county seat of Yuma County.

"After this time, all the areas south of the Wushen River will be turned into ruins, and there will be no relief for decades!"

Guangxuan stood at the top of the camp's watchtower. When he saw Wang Ping walking up with Zhao Qing and Liu Shuang, he stared at the crimson sky on the south bank and let out a sigh.

Wang Ping glanced across the camp where Qianmu Temple and Sanhe Temple were integrated below, and looked at Taoist Yuanqing on the boulder on the cliff in front. The latter was meditating with his eyes closed. There were two disciples next to him who were as motionless as statues. Behind him, General Li Rong reported something with a smile.

"It'll get better eventually!" Wang Ping responded softly.

Behind him, Liu Shuang's eyes reflected the blazing fire in the sky, and he asked: "Master, can I really enter the country?"

She may have felt her own insignificance at this moment, as insignificant as a speck of dust in the world, which gave birth to extreme fear and fear in her heart.

Wang Ping was silent for a few breaths and replied: "Yes!"

In addition to the "Taiyan Talisman", Qianmu Temple currently has a secret method of wood spirits called "The Art of Gathering Wood", which is preserved in the hands of Taoist Yucheng. Taoist Yucheng taught it to Li Antian, Liu Zixiu and Mao Jade Dragon's Health Preservation Technique is the first part of this secretary.

After Liu Shuang completes the marrow cleansing, Wang Ping can ask his master to come over to study, and then teach Liu Shuang according to the guide on the light curtain panel. There is a high probability that he can enter the country.

However, this technique can only be cultivated to one level, but the biggest advantage of the Wood Spirit Secret Technique is that it can survive. As long as you enter the country, you can live for at least three hundred years. In the remaining time, you can slowly look for opportunities for promotion.

Wang Ping's affirmative answer made Liu Shuang feel at ease. She breathed out a look of expectation on her face.

"What did you gain today?" Wang Ping changed the subject and asked Guangxuan. Sanheguan's mission today was to scout Yuma County.

Guangxuan also looked at Taoist Yuanqing and replied: "There are no living people in the county, and there are not many corpse soldiers. I estimate that after the fire stops, Taoist Yuanqing will ask all six of us to act together. Take the opportunity to control Yuma County."

...

The fire burned for three days.

What is left after the fire is a piece of scorched earth. If there is another heavy rain, the earth will be full of life next year or the year after that, but the prerequisite is to drive away the entrenched corpse soldiers.

The scorching flames did not drive them away. After the fire was extinguished, they emerged again, and they gathered more and more, but the main force of Fucheng had not yet completed its assembly.

On the morning of the fifth day after setting up camp, Wang Ping was getting familiar with the psychic talisman. After this period of practice, his proficiency in the psychic talisman had reached (15/100).

The way he got familiar with the psychic talisman in the military camp was to simulate it in the sea of ​​spirits. Only this morning he simulated it for the second time when he was interrupted by the entourage around Taoist Yuanqing. He brought Taoist Yuanqing's order to let him go. Discussing matters in the large tent of the Chinese army.

When Wang Ping and Guang Xuan walked into the camp together, everyone else had already arrived.
