I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 300 Bombarding the Evil God
As a medical apprentice, Chen Liuxian was also sent overseas.

Thanks to Ao Jin's father's magic in the South China Sea, which helped them to have smooth sailing, the ships, which were originally planned to reach Luzon in eight to twelve days, only took five days.

The captain had never felt anything so smooth before. It was okay during the day, but there was even help at night.

When they arrived at the port of Luzon, the local indigenous bureaucrats and tribal chiefs became extremely hostile towards the immigrants.

On the contrary, the Japanese pirates and the people of Changshengjiao stayed away from them. Among the Japanese pirates there were Onmyojis, who were similar to those in Esoteric Buddhism in that they could bind ghosts and demons to themselves, but they called them "Shikigami". In fact, it was also the Onmyojis who were preached in the East by Esoteric Buddhism and spread to Japan.

They sensed an extremely dangerous presence from the ship.

As for the followers of Changsheng, to be honest, this part of them are also "two-faced". Some of them listen to the teachings of the religion, while others do not follow the religion for personal gain, and they still do it for money.

It is best to use the help of natives to test the waters.

After all, others come with goods, but you come with a few thousand people. A few thousand people can destroy several tribes.

Luzon actually had a king, and they paid tribute to the Central Plains during the Daheng Dynasty. However, according to the tribute records, there were only 20,000 citizens of Luzon at that time, but the king brought more than 2,000 people with him when he came to pay tribute to the Central Plains. He also wanted to stay in the capital, so he was eventually sent back by the Sifang Pavilion (specially for receiving foreign envoys).”

However, this kingdom later became obsessed with pleasure and wanted to copy the cultural system of the Central Plains, which caused dissatisfaction among the tribal chiefs and nobles. They no longer respected him as king, and it collapsed within a few years.

After the fall of the King of Luzon, the indigenous tribes of the islanders were independent, and some of them were very close to Japan and learned Japanese culture, such as daimyo, kaisei, retainers, elders, shrines, and shrine maidens. It was a mess. It was basically colonized by Japan.

Later, when merchants from the Daning Dynasty came here to do business, they threatened them, saying that Japan was a vassal of Daning, and you were also vassal of Daning. You pay tribute to Japan but not to Daning. Are you planning a rebellion?
Although these merchants were just merchants, they were armed when they went out to sea. A group of merchants from Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong got together and formed an armed force of 2,000 people. They fought with the Japanese on the island and drove them away.

The merchants who came after them pretended to ask them to pay tribute, but in fact they did so in order to make money from their business, and they did not ask them to pay tribute to the imperial court. The imperial court was also unaware of this.

It was not until later that the Changsheng Sect rebelled that the sect's Emperor Wanshou seized Ryukyu and established the Tao Kingdom (the Demon Kingdom) near Japan. He claimed that these islands were the overseas fairy mountains that Qin Shihuang asked Xu Fu to find.

At this time, there was chaos on the sea again. The Changsheng Sect, with the help of Japanese ronin warriors, often invaded various provinces, and these merchants could not trade normally.

They fought a war at the beginning, but how could the merchants defeat the evil master and evil god of the Changsheng Sect? They soon suffered a great loss and almost lost Luzon.

By that time, the Changsheng Sect had a chief priest who came here to preach, using these natives for primitive sacrifices, preaching terror, and cultivating demons that could be used to bind.

These tribes already had various primitive worships, and the tribal guardian gods were tormented by the Changsheng Sect and lost control and turned into foreign evil gods.

In order to make money, the merchants later turned around and joined the Changsheng Sect. In addition to paying high tributes, at least they could learn some teachings. Although the Changsheng Sect's teachings were evil, they could be learned quickly, did not require any qualifications, and were very effective. As for the side effects, they were not afraid. No matter what the Changsheng Sect was like, it would not go against money. Fighting a war with the Daning Dynasty also cost money. The place where Ryukyu was connected to Japan was extremely barren and lacked resources. Without these merchants, this demon country could not function normally.

In short, Luzon is a place with a complex structure and is difficult to tackle, so it is quite difficult to open up the land. Now Xu Jia has sent ships to immigrate here and wants to build a Taoist country here. He needs to make these evil gods, cults, merchants who believe in cults, and even the more than 100,000 local indigenous people his enemies.

An indigenous official said in broken Chinese: "This is the territory of our Snake God Tribe. You are not welcome here! There are too many of you. You are not allowed to land on the island."

"Snake God?" Chen Gongming stood up. Chang Yuying, who was standing under his feet, held up his huge body and swam with the help of the wind. "We also have a snake god here. It's the same for you to worship this snake god!"

He was smiling and wearing armor. The armor was divided into two layers. The innermost one was chain mail and the outermost one was armor, which was made of impact-formed steel. The chain mail weighed 45 kilograms and the armor weighed 65 kilograms, totaling 110 kilograms. But this was not too heavy for him.

This strong man, before he started practicing, was a strong bear. People gave him the nickname Chen Pizi. He passed the martial arts examination and achieved minor success in the first realm of martial arts. He had an ordinary strength of 700 to 800 kilograms, but could exert an explosive force of over a thousand kilograms.

What's more, he worshipped Xu Jia as his master and learned the talisman. He practiced the "inner thunder" in the Tiangang Thunder Method, the tiger and leopard thunder sound, and the toad thunder sound, which are all life skills to increase strength. During these days, when he was teaching five hundred Taoist children, he also got the meat of Poyang dragon for nourishment. He could fight the mountain tiger in the mountains and fight the fairyland dragon in the sea.

He was originally a regular military officer, and now with his armor on, his temperament and demeanor made him look like a great general who had descended from heaven. Not to mention that he was standing above Chang Yuying, a giant python that looked like a king cobra that was more than ten feet long, which made the sense of oppression even stronger.

Compared with Chen Gongming, these natives are nothing more than wild monkeys in Mount Emei and inverted Vajra skeletons.

The "Tiangang Whip" in Chen Gongming's hand has a total of seven sections, with a steel pipe in the middle, which contains mercury and steel balls.

Whenever it is used, the mercury flows and the steel ball slides, and there will be a hidden force of yin.

This thing was made by him personally, infused with his essence and divine will. It is not a magic weapon but a fighting weapon.

"I am here on the orders of Lingbao Xu Tianshi to do business with you."

The snake tattoos on the body of the indigenous official were all hot, and the so-called snake god trembled when he sensed Chang Yuying's breath and did not dare to respond.

The guardian spirit of their tribe is actually a two-hundred-year-old poisonous snake with many offspring. The wizard takes snake venom, snake gall, and snake blood, mixes them with herbs, and adds some knowledge of mysticism to make ink, which is then inserted into the body to become a tattoo. The wizard can gain the power of the snake god by consuming blood and energy.

But they were incomparable to the two big snakes Chang Yuying and Chang Yu'e, who were like mountain winds and only ate other poisonous snakes, not non-venomous snakes. Moreover, although their practice was less than 500 years, they had also obtained the talisman, and followed the path of Teng Snake or Gou Chen, and their status was much higher than these wild monsters and gods from overseas.

The native leader plucked up his courage and asked: "What kind of business is this? Do you need so many people?"

Chen Gongming said: "Who among you can make the decision on the land business and sell the land to us?"

Sun Bao hurried over and said, "General, what are you talking about? Just fire a few shots and everything will be ours."

"No, no, the master has repeatedly told us not to start a war without a name. We have to buy the land first. If he doesn't sell it to us, that's another story." Hui Zhuo was still on the boat. He said to Jiang Qi and Shen Bao, "Have you ever used this cannon? Do you know how to use it?"

“Never.”

"Silly, this is very useful. Watch me fire a shot!" Huizhuo filled the gunpowder and put a shrapnel bomb that could explode into it.

This cannon is different from the bulky cannons we imagine. It is actually more slender, and the shells are not that thick, so they can be transported off the ship.

There are rifling grooves engraved inside the barrel. After the shell is filled in, no fuse is needed to ignite it, because there is an ignition device filled with fulminate of mercury at the bottom of the shell. Just ignite this part to ignite the shell.

How to ignite it? Here is a needle connected to the outside world. You just need to master the method to emit sparks from the tip. It's probably just a matter of tapping it.

Hui Zhuo pointed the gun at the shore and looked for Qi. He saw a place with black Qi rising from it. "Watch out, I'm going to blow this up!"

Then he pressed the button, and the next moment, the cannon boomed, but nothing was seen popping out, only blue fire coming out of the muzzle.

The black dot could only be seen after the shell flew far away. When it landed, there was a loud bang. Although the explosion did not create a mushroom cloud, it destroyed the trees and left a large hole several feet in the ground.

The little fat boy laughed proudly, and Wangqi looked over and saw that the black qi had completely dissipated.

"Didn't you say not to fire easily?"

"Don't fire your cannon at people lightly. What I just hit wasn't a human. I should have hit an evil god, or a demon or something."

The huge explosion was like thunder in the sky, and the sound could be heard for who knows how many miles. The target of the attack was actually not far from the ship, less than five hundred feet. Five hundred feet was within the true range of this kind of cannon. A target of about a thousand feet would not hit the ship and would explode on the ground prematurely.

The native official, looking at the place where the explosion took place, was completely overturned. He only felt the tattoos on his body go cold, and there was no longer that warm feeling: "Snake Temple! Snake Temple!"

It would have been fine if the cannon hadn't been fired. As soon as the cannon was fired, Chen Gongming became alert and cursed inwardly: "Who is firing recklessly and ignoring the law?"

But surprisingly, after seeing this cannon, some other natives knelt on the ground, shouting something like "God of Thunder, please calm down."

Chen Gongming thought that the opponents would be wearing grass, barefoot, holding spears, bows and arrows, and fighting him to the death.

The tribal officials looked at the cannons on the ship with fear. They hadn't noticed it just now, but now they saw that there were such cannons on the ship...

Jiang Qi and Shen Bao came out with the most outstanding disciples among the 500 disciples. They were wearing leather armor with only the key parts protected by steel plates. In their hands were extended three-barreled muskets, which could be used as both cold weapons and hot weapons. They were already loaded and pointed directly at the natives. As long as they were ignited, they would shoot out in rows. The iron sand bullets inside would turn them all into sieves.

Although the natives had never seen this kind of weapon, when they saw this black thing, their legs became weak, their hearts became nervous, and they were covered in cold sweats.

"What are you doing?" Chen Gongming questioned them: "We want safe production, not to fight here. Division Xu is still waiting for us to bring back food!"

"Let's help the coach!"

"You sons of bitches, do you think I can be killed by these native monkeys?"

"Who fired the cannon just now?"

"The eldest brother fired the cannon. He said he fired at the evil god and it seems to have hit him."

"That's no problem. The evil gods must be eliminated. They can only have one belief, and that is Lingbao!" Chen Gongming softened.

Then he shouted at the frightened natives: "Are you going to sell the land to me? If not, then you can grant us the right to open up the land, but the land will be ours after it is opened up."

The local officials were so frightened by Chen Gongming's appearance that they were speechless.

In fact, in their tribe, the one who has the final say is the god, and the wizards and leaders all serve the god, but the god was just killed by this cannon from a distance.

"Since you don't answer, then I'll just accept it."

Chen Gongming waved his hand and said, "Pass my order, get off the boat! All the monsters, explore the environment, look for resources, water sources, and places with fertile soil, preferably around rivers and lakes, and come back to report!"

Suddenly some little monsters, weasels, foxes, sparrows, magpies and other birds jumped out, and upon receiving the order, they all went to check.

"Jiang Qi, Shen Bao, you lead 300 disciples to cut wood and take stones, guard and patrol, and kill large beasts. The remaining 200 disciples guard the boats and don't let them steal our home."

"The rest of the laborers, build a camp on the spot. Set up tents first, then transport supplies from the ship, light a fire and cook, and prepare for logistics work!"

"Sun Bao, you merchants can go and trade with the native leaders you are familiar with. You can act on your own."
