I have a heavenly book of merit and virtue

Chapter 237 Three shots are done! The war begins again! (4.4K please subscribe!)

The two top powers of Buddhism and Taoism have intervened in the secular world, which heralds the complete end of the unified dynastic pattern in the Netherworld for thousands of years. The era where the sects once controlled the resources of the world seems to have come again.

The actions of [Lingshan Dao Sect] and [White Horse Temple] were like a huge stone falling into the water, causing an uproar and triggering a series of subsequent reactions.

Almost two days after [Lingshan Daomen] and [Baima Temple] declared the independence of their respective states, the spiritual power of Minzhou [Luanchan Temple] also announced the independence of Minzhou.

The strength of [Luanchan Temple] is second only to Lingshan Daomen and Baima Temple. There is also a strong man in the temple who can refine energy and transform into gods. Chen Yan's evil head Tuo Yuantong came from this Buddhist power.

In addition to Luanchan Temple, the [Yuxuanjian Mountain] where Yizhou is located has also declared the independence of Yizhou. The strength of Yuxuanjian Mountain is similar to that of Luanchan Temple. They are both first-class forces with a strong man who refines energy and transforms into gods. , although he is not top-notch, he still has a good reputation in the huge Wu Dynasty cultivation world.

There were only nine states in the Wu Dynasty, and four state capitals successively announced their separation from the Wu Dynasty, which suddenly pushed the structure of the Wu Dynasty into a situation where the heroes were divided.

Some small and medium-sized forces are also making troubles. After seeing four first-class or even top-notch sects announcing their secession of a state, they can't help but want to dominate the state.

However, it is a pity that they overestimated their own strength. For example, a second-rate force in Youzhou named [Blood Knife Sect] had a sect leader who was in the late stage of refining Qi and attempted to separate Youzhou. They just declared Youzhou independent. On the second day, Wei Shanhe, who was stationed at Hulao Pass, led his troops to attack and destroyed the family for three days.

Wei Shanhe's move immediately poured cold water on those small and medium-sized forces that were ready to separate a state, and they suddenly stopped.

Although Laoshan Dao wanted to immediately eliminate the two counties of Changze and Qianzhong, his own family was no longer enough to deal with Heishan. He had to wait for the second blood moon to find those demons and ghosts that came out as foreign aid.

Chen Yan watched the separatism of other state capitals with cold eyes, because he knew that all this was just the beginning.

In the secret room, Chen Yan's eyes were deep, and there was a faint cold light that flashed away, and then it returned to calm, with only a little candle burning, flickering on and off.

These two major state capitals brought together the largest population in the Wu Dynasty. Although they were only two states, their total population was over 100 million, which was more than ten times the total population of Hunan where Chen Yan was located!
Expanding the number of followers of their sect in Zhongzhou and Pingzhou and contributing more souls to their mother are the next primary goals of the Rebirth Sect in the Netherworld. As for the rest, they are too lazy to care about their life and death.

Except for the initial four states that declared independence, there are no other forces that separate themselves from each other.

The four major forces successively announced their separation, and Wei Shanhe struck out with a heavy blow. All the forces in the Wu Dynasty's cultivation world started to wait and see.

Coincidentally, although the two families received news of other state capitals declaring independence, neither party announced the developments in Xiangzhou due to concerns about the other's existence. However, everyone in the Wu Dynasty cultivation world knew that between Laoshan Road and Heishan There must be a battle!
What puzzles Chen Yan is that since the last time he saw the Governor Yu Huatian in Changze County, there has been no news about this alien visitor from his world since he returned.

The four families of Lingshan Daomen, Buddhist Baima, Ranchan Temple, and Yuxuan Sword Mountain did not seem to have the slightest idea of ​​expansion. They just hid their capabilities and bided their time after occupying a state, waiting for the second blood moon to come.

The Rebirth Cult, which had just been newly appointed as the state religion, had no intention of taking care of the surrounding areas of the separatist regime. It focused entirely on Zhongzhou and Pingzhou, one of the four states in the Central Plains controlled by the Wu Dynasty.

Of course, all this has a premise, which is to eliminate Laoshan Road!

Chen Yan felt that it was most likely the former, because with the strength and brains of the Governor Yu Huatian, there was no way that the Emperor of the Wu Dynasty could frame him.

The Fourteenth Year of Taiping was a year of chaos. Most people in the Wu Dynasty were still living in dire straits. Except for a few people in relatively stable places like Changze County and Yiling County, the rest of the states were living quite miserable lives. Shun.

Gradually, all the forces in the Wu Dynasty's cultivation world came to understand that if you want to separate a state, you can do it, but you must at least have a strong person who can refine Qi and transform into gods to take charge, otherwise it will be destroyed.

What he needs to do is to occupy a piece of territory in advance before this era of great strife comes, and slowly develop it to accumulate strength.

Originally, the cultivators of the Wu Dynasty thought that the Wu Dynasty court would launch a war on the surrounding areas that successively declared independence.

The real war will have to wait until the second blood moon or even the third blood moon comes, the netherworld is completely revived, and the demons and ghosts hidden in the other world emerge one after another, and this is the beginning of the great chaos in the netherworld.

Among the major forces in the Wu Dynasty's cultivation world that had strong Qi-refining and god-forming powers, only Laoshan Road where Xiangzhou was located and Heishan where Chen Yan was located had not yet been announced.

This made Chen Yan frown. Was it that the Governor was hiding quietly in an unknown place, or was he being ignored by the Emperor of Wu Dynasty?

In the following period, the Wu Dynasty once again lived a relatively stable period.

However, what disappointed them was that the Wu Dynasty court seemed invisible and allowed the four states to escape its control.

Chen Yan, on the other hand, was cultivating Taoism to perfection as quickly as possible while waiting for news from Montenegro.

Another three months passed in this way, and it was April of the 14th year of Taiping.

Chen Yan made another breakthrough in his Taoist cultivation and reached the late stage of refining Qi.

At the same time, news also came from Montenegro that the second C-fire Thunder Cannon has reached the final stage. Ruda is in the process of imprinting the spell. The smelting work of the third C-fire Thunder Cannon has been completed and formal forging has begun.

During these three months, towns in Qianzhong County were gradually recovered, and all the evil spirits entrenched in the towns and villages were wiped out.

Wang Lingguan also built public toilets in various places in Qianzhong County in accordance with the boy's orders.

Changze County is also actively recruiting disaster victims and hungry people from other states and moving towards Qianzhong County. At the same time, it is vigorously encouraging people in the two states to have children.

Meishan Dao and Lushan Dao also established their orthodoxy in Lingshan, a place with good feng shui in Qianzhong County, and the outstanding disciples of the two families entered the Jiantiansi.

In addition, the relatively stable environment in Changze County and Qianzhong County has also attracted many casual cultivators from other state capitals to gather.

These days, not only ordinary people, but also the casual cultivators of the Wu Dynasty are not living a satisfactory life.

Especially with the recovery of the Netherworld, more and more demons and ghosts are born, and the strength of those demons and ghosts that originally existed has become stronger and stronger. Many casual cultivators have died at the hands of these resurrected demons and ghosts.

Chen Yan did not turn away these outside casual cultivators.

Instead, a free trade market called [Heishan Fang City] was established in a place called Heishan Town at the foot of Heishan Mountain.

As for the system of Heishanfang City, it basically copied the Sanxiufang City [Lingxi Valley] that Chen Yan had visited in Lingzhou.

Since Heishanfang City is at the foot of Heishan Mountain, Black Tiger, the god of Heishan Mountain, can be included in it. Therefore, Heishanfang City is controlled by Black Tiger.

Heihu, who is in the late stage of refining gas, is in charge. In addition, Heishanfang City is not far from Heishan, and Yimu's spiritual body is on Heishan. No non-sighted casual cultivator dares to cause trouble in Heishanfang City.

Coupled with the stable and safe living environment in Changze County, Heishanfang City immediately attracted a large number of casual cultivators as soon as it was built.

Firstly, the Black Mountain Mountains stretch for five hundred miles, and there are countless natural and earthly treasures within them. Secondly, there are also many evil spirits and ghosts in them. New evil spirits and ghosts are born almost every day.

Finally, Changze County is adjacent to Qianzhong County. You must know that Qianzhong County is a piece of land that has yet to be developed, and it attracts many bold casual cultivators to hunt for treasures and eliminate demons.

Chen Yan also simply issued a mission in Heishanfang City. As long as the evil spirits and ghosts in Qianzhong County were wiped out, he would receive valuable rewards, including but not limited to elixirs, magic weapons, and spiritual weapons that are helpful for spiritual practice. Qian Fulu and so on. This has attracted a large number of casual cultivators and even martial arts masters to gather, and many true power and even martial arts masters also appear from time to time, because among these rewards, there are small returning pills that are of great help to martial arts masters!
In an instant, Heishanfang City suddenly became a popular gathering place for casual cultivators in Kyushu during the Wu Dynasty.

Even due to the large number of casual cultivators gathered, other sect forces, such as Lingshan Daomen, Baima Temple, Luanchan Temple, Xuanyinmen, Yuxuanjianshan... and so on, all expressed their hope to Chen Yan that he could be in Heishanfang City. Rent a shop and sell related cultivation resources.

Naturally, Chen Yan accepted all comers and charged a certain amount of spiritual money for rent. At the same time, he agreed that each family would not cause trouble in Heishanfang City, so he rented it to various powerful facades.

All of a sudden, all kinds of shops, restaurants, teahouses and even brothels sprung up in Heishanfang City.

Chen Yan collected rents and taxes and reinvested them into the mission rewards released, encouraging more casual cultivators to go to Qianzhong County to slay demons and eliminate demons, and a virtuous circle was formed at once.

Heishanfang City also expanded again and again, and finally the permanent population even exceeded 50,000, becoming a city of casual cultivators similar to a town.

Chen Yan himself did not expect this, but he was naturally happy to do so.

The success of Heishanfang City has naturally attracted many other forces to follow suit.

However, they did not have the thunderous means like Chen Yan to eliminate the evil spirits in the entire state and county. Even the evil spirits born every day could not escape the eyes of Changze County Chenghuang Land. The Feiyu Guards came to suppress and eradicate them.

Secondly, Chen Yan's identity has an official background after all. Although the Wu Dynasty's dominance over Kyushu has dropped to a freezing point, in the eyes of ordinary people and casual cultivators, the Wu Dynasty is still the only official in their eyes, and with official The powerful Heishanfang City is naturally more likely to be favored by casual cultivators.

The third thing is that Chen Yan is different from other forces. His fundamental purpose of establishing Fangshi is not to make money at all, but to hire casual cultivators who gather in Fangshi to eradicate evil spirits. Therefore, both rent and tax in Heishanfangshi are The lowest in the spiritual world.

All these factors contributed to the rise of Heishanfang City in a very short period of time.

Basically it is difficult to reproduce.

Chen Yan was a little surprised by the success of Heishanfang City, but he did not get carried away.

Because he knew very well that the hired casual cultivators were just fine yarn after all, and only the power he held in his hands was the real core.

Therefore, on the second day after the establishment of Heishanfang City.

Chen Yan also finally expanded the Dragon Bird Army, doubling its number from one thousand to two thousand.

Among them, the expanded 1,000 Dragon Bird Army were basically selected from the outstanding ones among the original 5,000 Changze County soldiers.

These selected thousand Changze County soldiers are basically Qi and blood martial artists who have broken through the first level of Qi and blood, while more than half of the original Thousand Dragon Bird Army have reached the true power realm.

Among the two thousand Dragon Bird Army, not to mention all Qi and Blood martial arts masters, more than half of the Dragon Bird Army have martial arts cultivation of the third level of Qi and Blood, and can break through to the True Power Realm at any time, and the Dragon Bird Army that has already broken through to the True Power Realm There are also five hundred, and the remaining five hundred Dragon Bird Army are mostly between the first and second levels of Qi and Blood.

However, as long as Xiao Huan Dan Pass is enough, it is only a matter of time before all the real martial arts masters will be available.

Chen Yan still put a lot of effort into dealing with the two thousand Dragon Bird Army. The Dragon Bird Army basically all had the Hundred-Refined Iron [Dragon Feather Sword] forged based on the [Dragon Bird Sword] in his hand. It is basically similar to the Yulong Dao that Chen Yan once used, or it is a strong version of the Yulong Dao.

Because it was re-designed by Ruda, the inventor of the Fish Dragon Knife, but Ruda updated and upgraded it again. Based on the original magic-removing spell, a sharp spell was added to make the Dragon Ling Knife even sharper.

Although the Black Mountain Workshop stopped forging the [Blood Thunder Cursed Bird Gun], Chen Yan established another Changze Workshop in Changze County. The craftsmen in it were all made by Chen Yan. Chen Yan ordered Xu Ji to secretly import them from surrounding states. The craftsmen who were 'winned over' by the government.

Chen Yan simply moved the production line of the Blood Thunder Cursed Bird Gun from the Black Mountain Workshop to the Nagasawa Workshop.

Although the newly established Nagasawa Workshop is not large in scale and the number of craftsmen only exceeds a hundred, after all, the production line of the Blood Thunder Cursed Bird Gun is already mature, and even craftsman apprentices can participate in it.

It also has assembly line-style convenient living conditions, and about fifty blood-thunder-cursed bird guns are produced every month, and this production capacity will gradually increase as time goes by and the forging craftsmen become more and more skilled.

In April of the 14th year of Taiping, more than a quarter of the two thousand Dragon Bird Army were equipped with blood-thunder cursed bird guns, and this number was still increasing month by month.

It's not too far away from Chen Yan's idea of ​​equipping all members with blood-thunder cursed bird guns.

In addition to the Longque Army, Chen Yan also selected young and strong men from the disaster victims and hungry people as county soldiers, expanding the number of county soldiers to 10,000.

These 10,000 people are carried out in the mode of veterans leading new soldiers. Among them, 5,000 are Qianzhong County soldiers stationed in Qianzhong County City, and 5,000 Changze County soldiers are stationed in Changze County City.

There are also many opponents for the training of new soldiers. Whether it is Qianzhong County or Xiangxi County, there are a large number of evil spirits waiting to be exterminated.

As for the original five thousand Black Mountain Demon Soldiers, they still stayed in Qianzhong County waiting for subsequent orders.

Because once the war starts, Qianzhong County will be the front line.

Regarding his own cultivation level, Chen Yan did not relax at all.

After reaching the later stage of refining and transforming qi, Chen Yan felt that it would take a longer time to achieve a breakthrough, about a year.

Although it was considered very fast, Chen Yan still felt a little regretful. It seemed that he could not complete both martial arts and Taoism before the war started.

But it doesn't matter, the current strength is enough to deal with Laoshan Road.

Divine Fighting is also steadily improving, and it is getting closer and closer to the realm of the third level. The incense and wish power from all over the world are constantly gathering. Chen Yan can feel that the third level Divine Fighting is not far away.

In this way, time passed by unconsciously, and another four months passed.

Time came to the summer of the 14th year of Taiping.

In the past four months, everyone in the Wu Dynasty cultivation world has felt that the spiritual energy seems to be getting stronger and stronger, and the second blood moon is just around the corner.

And it was on this day that news came from Montenegro that the forging of the third [Bing Fire Thunder Cannon] was completed!
After receiving the news, Chen Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, then became deep and cold, flashing with a little cold light.

The moment of decisive battle——

Arrived!
