The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 151 Light is always accompanied by thunder (asking for monthly ticket)

Nan Changsheng and the fox demon were too weak, and Lu Chen could kill them with just one move.

I don't have any intention of complaining. Instead of spending this time, I might as well find out if there is anything that Nan Changsheng can use.

So after getting rid of them, Lu Chen began to search inside the Taoist temple.

Perhaps because he was refining elixirs with human hearts and could not easily show them to others, Nan Changsheng was the only one living in the Taoist temple, and Lu Chen did not notice the presence of other Taoists.

Soon, Lu Chen found information about Nan Changsheng's origins in a book similar to a travel autobiography on Nan Changsheng's desk.

"Who writes a diary? People who write diaries are usually not serious people."

Lu Chen opened the notebook and read it for a while.

"He was originally just a wild sorcerer. Later, when Kou Qianzhi founded the Tianshi Dao, he joined the Tianshi Dao."

Lu Chen looked at him and nodded slightly. This Nan Changsheng was quite capable, but he was a little old.

He is over sixty years old, perhaps even older than Kou Qianzhi, so it is naturally impossible that he is Kou Qianzhi's apprentice.

After all, the rise of Tianshi Dao in Wei State has only happened in the last ten years.

Since Tianshi Dao became the state religion of Wei State, it began to truly rise, and Kou Qianzhi was not from any big sect.

Therefore, the disciples under his tutelage were all accepted later, and he had no good Taoist lineage.

After becoming the state religion of the Wei Kingdom, in order to consolidate the status of Tianshi Dao, it naturally needed to include some people from other Taoist sects to join the Tianshi Dao it founded.

Nan Changsheng was one of them. He was originally a cultivator in the Wei State. He entered Taoism in the Qin State (Former Qin) and practiced the Shangqing School. Later, through repeated opportunities, he reached the level of a master cultivator.

However, his Taoism had reached its limit at this point. His aptitude was not very good to begin with, and he was in urgent need of further practice.

Therefore, after Kou Qianzhi established the Tianshi Dao, he chose to join it as soon as possible.

However, because he was too old, he could not serve as a Taoist priest in the Wei capital Pingcheng or other large cities, and was sent to Lantian to serve as a marching Taoist priest.

Nan Changsheng was a little depressed at first, but after arriving here and during a march, he passed by a Taoist altar. He found a batch of ancient Taoist scriptures in the broken altar, and this mentality disappeared instantly.

This batch of Taoist scriptures was also an important factor in enabling him to grow rapidly to his current level within just three years.

Things like the Seven Heart Pill, Talismans, Demon Control Pill... and so on, were all helped by these ancient Taoist scriptures.

"Xuandu Altar in the early Han Dynasty..."

Lu Chen looked at the fonts specially marked by Nan Changsheng. These were some clues that Nan Changsheng found when he was investigating the origin of the Taoist altar. He found out that the broken Taoist altar was the one built in the early Han Dynasty.

Nowadays, all Taoist sects like to build Xuandu Altar. For example, Kou Qianzhi's new Tianshi Dao built a five-story Taoist altar in Pingcheng, named Xuandu Altar, and used this altar as the foundation to build the huge Tianshi Daoist temple.

And according to Ma Jian, that was also one of the important foundations of Kou Qianzhi's future Taoist kingdom on earth.

In fact, before Zhang Ling founded the Five Pecks of Rice Sect and before Taoism was transformed into Taoism, Taoists already had the custom of building the Xuandu Altar.

The Xuandu Altar discovered by Nan Changsheng is one of the Xuandu Altars built by Emperor Wen of Han during the Western Han Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, after the Qin Dynasty annexed the six kingdoms and the Chu-Han contention, everything was in ruins and needed to be rebuilt. Therefore, the Huang-Lao method of governing the country was implemented in the early Han Dynasty.

That is the Taoist policy of inaction, and naturally Taoist ideas are popular.

During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the Xuandu Altar and many sub-altars were built in Ziwu Valley at the foot of Mount Zhongnan for offering sacrifices to heaven and earth.

However, after many years, not to mention the sub-altar of Xuandu Altar, even the main altar of Xuandu Altar has now become a ruin.

But Nan Changsheng's luck was so good that he actually found some inheritance of cultivation methods that had been deliberately hidden in a Xuandu altar that had become a ruin!

Lu Chen put away his notes, packed up some books in the main room, and then went to other rooms to take a look.

Most of them were normal, but Lu Chen found the ancient books that Nan Changsheng had hidden in his room.

Lu Chen didn’t have time to look at it carefully. After packing it up, he went to the last room - the alchemy room!
This is where Nan Changsheng usually makes elixirs, and there is a furnace burning brightly here.

As soon as he entered, Lu Chen felt a sinister aura coming towards him.

When elixirs are made with human hearts, the elixirs will naturally carry evil spirits.

This also means that Nan Changsheng's alchemy skills are actually not up to par.

In an alchemy room like this, where the fire is fierce and the Yang energy is rich, there is also a Yin and evil aura. One can imagine how poor his alchemy skills are.

Lu Chen used his divine sense to observe it and was surprised to find that this alchemy furnace was actually also a magical weapon!
Although it is not a magic weapon and has no spirituality, it can generate flames on its own and help alchemists control the temperature.

Lu Chen opened the alchemy furnace, and instantly a red light flashed, and a pungent smell of blood rushed into his nose.

Lu Chen frowned. Inside the alchemy furnace was a pool of thick blood and some medicinal herbs that had not yet completely melted.

Lu Chen directly overturned the alchemy furnace. No matter what kind of elixir was being refined inside, Lu Chen didn't intend to take it.

There were pills with labels around, and Lu Chen only took away a batch of pills with normal-looking names.

For example, there were some fasting pills or something like that, names like "heart pill" and "blood pill" that looked wrong at first glance, so Lu Chen ignored them.

Who knows what this is made of?

Of course, for those pills that look like they have normal names, Lu Chen also has to go back and identify them based on the practice notes recorded by Nan Changsheng.

Afterwards, Lu Chen collected some precious medicinal herbs that Nan Changsheng had collected with great difficulty.

Lu Chen was so jealous of some of these medicinal herbs.

Although he obtained Lou Guan's "Returning the Elixir Method", he was always troubled by the lack of materials to refine the elixir.

Now, he had the alchemy furnace and medicinal materials, which made him rich.

Afterwards, Lu Chen used his divine sense to search the room again, and after making sure that there were no secret chambers or secret rooms in the room, he burned down the Taoist temple.

I don’t know if something produced a chemical reaction, but there was an explosion in the alchemy room.

Lu Chen looked at the Taoist temple that was burning fiercely and turned around with an expressionless face.

A real man never looks back at the explosion!
With such a big commotion, the barrier that Lu Chen had casually set up naturally couldn't cover it up.

There was a hustle and bustle outside, and the sound of countless armors shaking could be heard. That was the sound of the officers and soldiers here putting out the fire.

Lu Chen ignored him, dragging the alchemy furnace in one hand and carrying a large bag on his back, and began to walk towards the outside.

"Who are you? Someone come! There's an assassin!"

Some Wei soldiers discovered Lu Chen's presence and shouted loudly to others.

In an instant, shouts were heard one after another.

Officers and soldiers rushed out from everywhere and charged towards Lu Chen.

However, Lu Chen remained indifferent and did not even change his walking speed. The fluctuations of magic power emanating from his body sent the Wei soldiers flying one by one.

Then he waved out a dozen paper men, which quickly harvested the lives of the Wei soldiers.

Whether it was Kou Qianzhi, Nan Changsheng and others, or the fact that Wei was a country established by the Hu people, Lu Chen did not have a very good impression of Wei from all aspects.

Of course, they showed no mercy when they killed them, but they didn't grind them to ashes either.

As for Lu Chen himself, he walked out of the military town step by step. With the protection of the paper man, no one could get within ten meters of him!
Just seconds after showing up!

In the end, no one dared to stop Lu Chen. They could only watch Lu Chen walk out of the military town step by step and disappear into the long dark night.

As Lu Chen left, the paper man incarnations stopped killing and left with Lu Chen, leaving only corpses and wounded people on the ground.

At this moment, in a place invisible to mortal eyes, soul-locking chains stretched out from the void, trying to connect with the dead Wei soldiers.

But the next second, the souls of those Wei soldiers emitted golden light, severing the connection between themselves and the soul-locking chain.

"Kou Qianzhi!"

The roar of the Lantian City God, which was composed of countless voices of men and women, rang out in the void. Kou Qianzhi, who was fighting with an old and skinny Huxia shaman above the city of Chang'an, frowned and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Lantian City God...what is this monster doing now?"

Kou Qianzhi glanced in the direction of Lantian County.

Although he had also placed some people in the Yin-Yang Realm, his forces had always been near Chang'an City, and he had not yet freed up his hands to deal with the Lantian City God.

Why did this guy jump out?
"Damn it! Why does everything go wrong?"

Feeling that the Lantian City God was fighting with him for the ownership of the souls of the dead Wei soldiers, Kou Qianzhi felt great hatred in his heart!

He collected the fighting spirits of the Wei soldiers as his magic soldiers, and naturally he had already made arrangements with the city gods, mountain gods, and land gods in the Yin-Yang magic worlds of various places.

He only wants soldiers, and the souls of ordinary people can be given up. If they are obedient, his names can be recorded in the "Lu Tu Zhen Jing" to let these monsters in the Yin and Yang world enjoy the incense of the human world!

The Lantian City God naturally agreed to it, otherwise he would not have been able to collect millions of Wei soldiers who had died in previous battles in just over a decade.

But this guy is crazy now, and he is picking on me at the critical moment. If he is not fighting with the old shaman, Kou Qianzhi wants to directly build the altar, enter the Yin-Yang world, and crack open the head of Lantian City God to see what is inside!
However, at this moment, he couldn't do two things at the same time.

Although the old shaman's cultivation was even higher than his, he was quite old and already decayed. However, this time, the immortal was using up all his lifespan and energy to fight against him.

It's not just the laws of the world of the living, there is also a battle of laws within the world of yin and yang!
Two rays of purple light are constantly fighting each other, it is a fight between gods.

The old shaman risked his life, leaving Kou Qianzhi no time to concentrate.

Therefore, control of the souls of those Wei soldiers was soon taken away by the Lantian City God.

In the military town, with the roar of the Lantian City God, the golden light was shattered in an instant!

The soul-locking chain appeared again, entangled the souls of the soldiers one by one, but it did not pull the souls of these soldiers into the Yin-Yang Realm. Instead, the soul-locking chain continued to extend, and after a while, a monster Yin Cha appeared at the same place.

"Find! Kill!"

The distorted face behind the monster Yinchai was roaring, and a trace of pain flashed across Yinchai's face. Then he swallowed the souls of the officers and soldiers into his mouth, and then entered the dead bodies on the ground.

At the same time, monsters also appeared from the souls of other officers and soldiers.

Inside the military town, with the appearance of these monsters, gusts of cold wind began to appear, and those ordinary officers and soldiers felt a little chilly.

"The fire is so big, why is it still so cold today..."

An officer who was handling the corpse muttered.

But the next second, the corpse in front of him suddenly moved.

The soldier was a little stunned. Before he could react, the dead body suddenly opened its eyes, grabbed the weapon that fell to the ground next to it, and pierced the soldier's chest directly.

“Strange…strange…”

The soldier opened his mouth with difficulty and wanted to shout, but it was too late. A soul-locking chain appeared and entangled his dead soul. Not long after, a monster appeared and drilled into his dead body.

This seems to be a signal.

The entire military town was filled with screams and wails.

At the gate of the military town, the general with disheveled hair ran quickly into the darkness, looking extremely panicked.

Shortly after the general left, several resurrected corpses began to occupy the city gates and closed the heavy gates.

A bloody massacre has officially begun!
……

Lu Chen, who had already left the military town at this time, naturally didn't know that after he left, a disaster that could destroy the city broke out in the military town.

At this time, he also encountered some minor troubles that were not too troublesome.

Not long after Lu Chen walked out of the military town, he was surrounded by a group of cavalrymen dressed in even more wild and barbaric clothes.

Those people didn't care about anything and rushed towards Lu Chen on their horses, shouting and waving their weapons.

Needless to say, they all lay on the ground and turned into corpses.

Lu Chen frowned and looked at the badges on their bodies. Fortunately, the words on them were written in traditional Chinese.

"Daxia's brave cavalry..."

Lu Chen understood that these cavalrymen should be the Huxia people who were counterattacking Chang'an.

I guess after they captured Chang'an, they came to sweep the wilderness again.

Hu Xia was founded by the Xiongnu Helian Bobo, whose troops were mostly Xiongnu. Although they did establish a country, it only lasted for a few twenty years.

The current Huxia troops and equipment are no match for the powerful Wei Kingdom, and their nature has not yet been assimilated into the Central Plains culture.

Since they are Huns, there is nothing more for Lu Chen to say. Just kill them.

The body was not dealt with and was left exposed in the wilderness. Lu Chen then continued to rush towards Wangjia Village.

Knowledge, for some reason, he felt an ominous feeling in his heart.

However, when Gui Zang was viewing the scenery, he felt that the surrounding energy was not harmful to him.

However, it didn’t take long for Lu Chen to realize that something was wrong.

There are more Xiongnu Huxia cavalry on the road!
From time to time, a team would pop up.

Lu Chen wanted to kill it at the beginning, but later on, he just ignored it.

The feeling of uneasiness in his heart grew stronger and stronger, and the source of that uneasiness was the appearance of these Hun cavalry!

The Hu Xia cavalry did not appear in groups of one or two, but broke the army into small groups!

This means that the entire Lantian County may be filled with Xiongnu Huxia cavalry!
Then...what about Wangjia Village?
how is it now?

Sure enough, not long after, Lu Chen saw in the dark that the sky in front of him seemed to have turned orange-red.

Lu Chen was very familiar with this color, it was the color of raging flames in the dark night!
And that is the direction of Wangjia Village!

Lu Chen's expression was gloomy, and his body turned into a phantom. Not long after, he arrived at the village.

But at this time in Wangjia Village, there was deathly silence!
Apart from the crackling sound of the flames and the house collapsing from time to time, Lu Chen heard no other sounds.

Lu Chen sent out his spiritual thoughts, but did not find a figure.

But the broken door, the horseshoe prints on the ground, and the bloodstains on the land all proved that a brutal massacre had taken place here not long ago!

Lu Chen came to Daniu's house, which was also burned down.

A bamboo was lying quietly on the ground, and the green bamboo leaves were stained blood red.

The bamboo was given by the rolling hills in the mountains.

When Lu Chen went to chase the fox demon, he did not hold it in his hand.

Lu Chen picked up the bamboo, which still had a few torn strips of cloth hanging on it.

This is a piece of cloth on Erhua's clothes. Erhua must have been holding a bamboo, and then they were forcibly separated. The bamboo tore her clothes, leaving three or two pieces of cloth.

"Why...is there no way for ordinary people to survive?"

Lu Chen slowly tightened his hand around the bamboo, speaking in a low voice.

It seems like I am asking myself, and also like I am asking the world.

The exploitation makes these poor people feel like it’s New Year’s Day even if they can eat a small piece of meat.

Someone died, but there wasn't even a proper funeral. They weren't even willing to use paper money, or they didn't have the money to buy it.

But even so.

Evil men like Nan Changsheng still coveted their cheap lives. The demons viewed them as ants that could be killed at any time, and these Hun soldiers also viewed them as lambs, burning, killing and looting them at will.

They are just struggling to survive.

But, why can't I survive?

A hemp rope only breaks at the thinnest part, and disasters only befall the unfortunate?
"Boom!"

A cold wind blew across the earth, and before I knew it, the moonlight was shrouded by thick dark clouds.

Accompanied by a deafening thunder, huge raindrops fell from the sky.

Lu Chen held the bamboo in his hand, looked up at the sky, and let the raindrops fall on his forehead and then slide down his cheeks.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The wind and rain are strong and heavy!
The fire gradually died down under the pouring rain, and the last ray of fire disappeared.

Dark night, dark clouds, heavy rain...it seemed as if nothing wanted to bring even a trace of light to this earth.

"Ta Tata..."

The sound of horse hooves came from far away and gradually approached. It was the sound of the Hun cavalry returning after being drenched by the heavy rain.

"Crack!"

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, as if tearing a hole in the darkness.

In an instant, a dazzling light shone on Lu Chen's face.

"Ha ha……"

Lu Chen grinned.

"It's not that there is no light, but that light always accompanies thunder..."
