I have a heavenly book of merit and virtue

Chapter 236 The storm is coming! Uproar! (Please subscribe~)

With Granny Ming's final word, this meeting of the Seven Paths of Laoshan came to an end.

Laoshan Dao decided to wait for the second blood moon to come and the power of Shaoyin in the Netherworld to recover enough to support the emergence of the original ghosts and demons in the Netherworld before discussing the counterattack on Black Mountain.

Although he didn't want to admit it, even Chu Yuan, who hated Chen Yan deeply, understood that unknowingly, Chen Yan's party had developed to the point where they could no longer deal with it alone with their Laoshan Road.

In particular, the presence of the three Qi-refining gods with their fighting power is more like a mountain oppressing the hearts of the seven talkers in Laoshan Mountain.

Frankly speaking, whether it is Wu Changsong of the Gu Dao, Yan Xi of the Corpse Dao, or including Granny Ming of the Witch Dao, although the three of them have combat power at the level of refining gas and transforming into gods, any of the three of them can't. Neither party wants any deviation in their own side's refining Qi and transforming into gods.

The Gu Dao has only one ancient Gu worm that has been dormant for a long time, the Witch Dao is similar, it is an ancient witch spirit that has existed for a long time, and the Corpse Dao is the last bronze-armored corpse.

Any one of the three of them would be seriously injured if they lost these means of refining energy and transforming into gods.

Laoshan Ghost Road is a lesson learned from the past.

Therefore, when Wu Changsong proposed to find those demon sects and ghost sects in the other world as foreign aid, Granny Ming from the witch path and Yan Xi from the corpse path agreed immediately without much thought.

In fact, this is also related to the small population of Changze and Qianzhong counties.

Famines occurred frequently in various places, and the advent of the blood moon caused ghosts and ghosts to appear everywhere. The life of the people of the Wu Dynasty was even more difficult.

Although it was only half a year, the population of Nagaze County exploded in this half year, from less than two million to more than two hundred and nearly three million now.

In today's Wu Dynasty Kyushu, except for the area around the Central Plains where the capital of Wu Dynasty is located, the people of the other five continents are actually not living well.

The spirit body of Yimu has returned to Heishan to take charge. The two [Binghuo Thunder Cannons] being forged in the Heishan workshop will be the top priority in the next general attack on Laoshan Road.

The prices of magic weapons, talismans, and elixirs useful for fighting have been rising unknowingly.

Therefore, even if Chen Yan wanted an accident to happen in Changze County, he did not want an accident to happen in Heishan.

Most of the extra one million people were victims of disasters from other states and counties summoned by Li Taibai.

After receiving the news, Chen Yan felt quite heavy.

In this way, although they could not immediately launch a war against the young man, in the following period, all the heretics on Laoshan smelled the smell of gunpowder.

While he arranged for Li Taibai to summon disaster victims and hungry people from other prefectures and counties, he also arranged for the victims of Changze County to be transferred to Qianzhong County to expand the population of Qianzhong County.

Of course, the best situation is that there are no accidents on both sides and everyone is fine. This is the best situation.

On the other side is Qianzhong County.

Although the expected counterattack on Laoshan Road did not come as expected, Chen Yan did not dare to be careless at all.

Changze County is slightly better. At least the original Changze County is in the hands of humans. Although the people of Changze County are still living in dire straits, compared to Qianzhong County, the people of Changze County are undoubtedly better off. On many.

Because there are not many people in Qianzhong County.

Because this means that the difficulty of breaking through to a higher realm has been reduced.

When the meeting dispersed, Chu Yuan, Old Crow Crow, Qing Langjun, Hu Meiniang, etc. all looked at each other, and they each saw a flame in the other's eyes.

Although he is not in Qianzhong County, Chen Yan can still control the situation in Qianzhong County from Changze County.

As Qianzhong County fell to Chen Yan's side, a large number of Feiyu Guards and Meishan Lushan disciples were transferred to Qianzhong County to assist the Longque Army in regaining the entire Qianzhong County and eradicating the evil spirits and ghosts in Qianzhong County.

What Chen Yan can do is try to give the people living in Qianzhong County a stable and stable environment like Changze County.

Five thousand county soldiers, five thousand black mountain demon soldiers, one thousand dragon bird troops, plus two thousand Meishan Lushan disciples, these seem to be a lot, but they are distributed in the two huge counties of Changze County and Qianzhong County. Chen Yan The manpower of less than 20,000 is quite stretched.

This is a cumulative process.

Therefore, Chen Yan had to return to Changze County to defend the town to prevent Laoshan from sneak attack and counterattack from the direction of Changze County.

A large amount of combat power flowed into Qianzhong County, which directly led to the shortage of troops in Changze County.

Especially for monks like Chu Yuan and Old Crow who have perfected their energy refining and transformation, when the second blood moon comes and the spiritual energy of the Netherworld explodes, they may not be able to break through the refining energy and transform into gods in one breath!

To be more precise, there weren't many living people at all.

The recovery of the Netherworld is imminent, which is a great benefit for all practitioners in the Wu Dynasty.

It will take at least three to five years to recover.

This also made the Zuo Dao monks in other small branches of Laoshan Mountain nervous. They all walked in a hurry and looked wary.

However, this also made Chu Yuan, Crow Old Man and other Laoshan Four Paths who did not have the combat power to refine Qi and transform into gods a deep understanding of the pain point of their own lineage, that is, without the combat power to refine Qi into gods, they would have no right to speak.

The total population of Changze County is at least two million. In Qianzhong County, under the control of the ghost governor these years, the total number of people still alive in the county is less than 200,000, and the number of 200,000 people is still zero. They are scattered in the corners of the ravines throughout Qianzhong County, lingering on.

Wang Lingguan alone can handle most situations.

No.

However, after regaining Qianzhong County, Chen Yan also discovered a shortcoming on his own side.

However, there is no way to restore the population of Qianzhong County in a short period of time.

That is a serious shortage of manpower.

In the past six months, Changze County has made great progress since it fell into Chen Yan's hands.

The biggest change is that fewer core disciples from each of the seven mountain ranges of Mount Laoshan appear, and they all seem to be cultivating with all their strength.

Even if the other four groups including Chu Yuan, Crow Old Man, Qing Langjun, Hu Meiniang and others have objections in their hearts, after all, they do not have the combat power at the level of Qi Refining and God Transformation, especially Chu Yuan. Even if he wants to counterattack the Black Mountain side immediately, he will not be able to do so. It's impossible for him to do it with his ghost skills. Delivering food is just about the same.

With the end of the battle in Qianzhong County, there were actually no enemies in Qianzhong County that Chen Yan needed to deal with.

It was common for families to be destroyed and people to die, which also forced the people to passively flee to other states and counties.

The stable environment promoted by Nagaze County and the large amount of land to be reclaimed naturally attracted a group of disaster victims.

For these victims whose families have been destroyed, they no longer ask for anything more. They just want an environment in which they can survive and a bowl of gruel that they can drink.

Fortunately, Nagasawa County is able to do this.

Following the toilet policy issued by Chen Yan, public toilets were built aggressively in Changze County. No one was allowed to defecate in public, and feces had to be put into public toilets. The direct result of the clean and hygienic environment is that the people living in Changze County suddenly found that there were fewer diseases, and the production of manure also greatly increased the yield per mu of fields in Changze County, and it was even able to rival that of the Wu Dynasty. "Lingzhou" is also known as Liangzhou.

People in various parts of the Wu Dynasty were still living a difficult life, and practitioners in various parts of the Wu Dynasty were actually not living a satisfactory life.

News of the resurrection of the Netherworld is currently only circulated among the top leaders of the top forces in the Wu Dynasty's cultivation world. For the small forces and casual cultivators in the middle and lower classes, they still know nothing about it.

But everyone felt a feeling that a storm was coming, and the situation was calm on the surface, but there was an undercurrent surging behind the scenes.

The war in Xiangzhou gradually spread, but it did not cause too much disturbance. Except for some noise from the nearby White Horse Temple in Xizhou, the spiritual forces in other states were watching indifferently, or waiting quietly.

Waiting for the second blood moon to come, waiting for the demon sect and ghost sect in the other world to come out.

In this way, amidst the treacherous clouds and waves, the entire Wu Dynasty and Kyushu lived a relatively stable and short period of time.

Laoshan Road unexpectedly did not launch a counterattack. Although he did not know the reason, Chen Yan was naturally happy to do so.

The longer the delay is, the more beneficial it will be for Chen Yan.

Because both his cultivation and the two prop-fire thunder cannons being built on Black Mountain will take time.

In this way, time passed quietly without realizing it.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, time came to January of the 14th year of Taiping.

The coldness of winter has not gone far, but people living in Changze County and Qianzhong County will not feel it deeply for the time being.

Because the presence of methane gas allowed them to live their first "warm winter" in their lives, countless people in Nagasawa who slept on the heated kang expressed their heartfelt thanks to the young governor who brought them a new life.

During this month, both Chen Yan and Laoshan Dao were in peace with each other.

Although there are temptations for each other, they remain at a level of retreat. Both sides are waiting for something.

After a month of testing, Chen Yan roughly guessed what Laoshan Dao wanted to do while waiting for the second blood moon.

Although he didn't know the true purpose of Laoshan Road, Chen Yan was also waiting.

Within a month, after receiving feedback from Montenegro, the second C-fire Thor Cannon has been built. In about two to three months, the second C-fire Thor Cannon will be ready.

The thousand-refined iron required for the third Binghuo Thunder Cannon is also being smelted in full swing.

Good news keeps coming from Montenegro, and good news keeps coming from Qianzhong County.

In one month, two thousand Meishan Lushan disciples, one thousand Feiyu Guards, one thousand Dragon Bird Army, and five thousand Black Mountain Demon Soldiers formed the main force for the Qing Dynasty to suppress the entire Qianzhong County.

After a month of clearing up, most of the towns in Qianzhong County have been successfully recovered. As for the evil spirits and ghosts hiding in the mountains, they have no time to pay attention to them for the time being. There are too few manpower, so Chen Yan can only promise to recover the towns first.

The suppression campaign in Qianzhong County is still in full swing. This month, Chen Yan himself has made great progress.

Dacheng's Nine Breaths of Conviction gave Chen Yan unparalleled cultivation speed.

In a month, Chen Yan also broke through to the middle stage of refining Qi without any accidents. Not only that, but also Qi and blood were finally perfected.

Nowadays, two of the three major conditions required for Chen Yan's martial arts realm to break through the 'Bao Dan' have been met, leaving only the final perfection of the soul.

And the perfection of this soul only requires Chen Yan's Taoist cultivation to break through to the point of refining Qi, and the soul will naturally follow suit.

After breaking through to the middle stage of refining Qi, Chen Yan felt that according to Dacheng's nine-breath Qi cultivation speed, he would be able to break through to the late stage in about three months.

In another year or so, his martial arts and Taoism will be both perfect.

Speaking of such a speed of cultivation, it would shock the jaws of many cultivators.

You need to know which of those cultivators who refine the qi-transformation level has not practiced for years or even decades?

Even those geniuses who are known as geniuses are far slower than Chen Yan in their cultivation.

Of course, no one knows these secrets, and Chen Yan will not be stupid enough to show them off.

Ever since he knew that there were other worlds in this universe besides the Wu Dynasty, and after he knew about those terrorist organizations [Huang Quan] who easily wiped out a world, and even since [Huang Quan] was his enemy, Chen Yan understood the principle of surviving and growing.

With the Book of Merit and Virtue in his possession, Chen Yan was not in a hurry. Time was on his side.

And at the end of January in the 14th year of Taiping, a major event happened in the Wu Dynasty.

The current emperor of the Wu Dynasty, Wu Xuanzong Zhao Longji, who had been in power for almost a month, suddenly declared the Rebirth Religion as the state religion and announced it to the world.

As soon as this incident came out, it immediately caused an uproar in all parts of Wu Dynasty's Jiuzhou!
Everyone is talking about it, whether it is the practitioners of Wu Dynasty or the people of Wu Dynasty.

People with brains are discussing whether Wu Xuanzong Zhao Longji lost his head in his later years and did such stupid things at the end of his reign.

Although the Rebirth Cult has a good reputation in the mouths of the disaster victims and hungry people, even very good, because the Rebirth Cult gave the disaster victims and hungry people of the Wu Dynasty a mouthful of food and kept them alive.

But the wealthy landlords of the Wu Dynasty knew the ambitions of the Rebirth Cult. It was an out-and-out cult, but the Emperor of the Wu Dynasty actually established a cult as the state religion.

Everyone thought this was both ridiculous and sad. At this moment, everyone could feel that this dynasty, which had existed for almost a thousand years, seemed to have reached its end.

Only the Emperor of Wu Dynasty believed that he was saving the Zhao family.

Wu Xuanzong and Zhao Longji announced the establishment of Rebirth Religion as the state religion, which caused a series of reactions.

First of all, the first reaction was that Lingzhou, one of the four states in the Central Plains, the spiritual force [Lingshan Daomen] in its territory declared Lingzhou independent. The Lingzhou capital was no longer subject to official transfers from the Wu Dynasty, and any believers of the Rebirth Sect appeared. In Lingzhou, everyone is killed without mercy.

Originally, with Wei Shanhe in Lingzhou, Lingzhou should at least not have escaped the control of the Wu Dynasty so quickly.

But Wei Shanhe had been transferred to Youzhou a month ago, and together with the three thousand flying dragon army, Lingzhou fell completely into the hands of Lingshan Taoist Sect.

Following the Lingshan Taoist Sect, the Buddhist Sect [White Horse Temple] also announced the independence of Xizhou. Like Lingzhou, no dead believers are allowed to appear in Xizhou.

The independence of the two major state capitals of Jiuzhou in the Wu Dynasty caused a greater uproar in various parts of the Wu Dynasty. Suddenly, the cultivation forces in other state capitals were ready to take action...
