Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 485 Wu Jun
What is Taoism pursuing?In this world, there may be different answers. Some people will say that pursuit is like Zhuangzi's carefree life, and some people will say that he can comprehend the mysteries of the great way and understand the truth of the universe like the Taoist patriarch Laozi.Others say to build a peaceful world so that Taoist ideas can spread throughout the world.

In Gao Cheng's view, these are all imaginary. Taoism has the method of entering the world and leaving the world, but no matter what it is, the ultimate goal is to achieve immortality and longevity.

After Gao Cheng got Yu Ji's information, he read it briefly, and knew the general character of this person.Unlike Zhang Jiao, the organization of Yu Ji's hundreds of thousands of congregants is not strict, but relatively loose.It's like a loose force that is simply gathered, otherwise the spies of the embroidery guards would not be able to easily inquire about the news inside.

His hundreds of thousands of congregation are more likely to be gathered intentionally or unintentionally.Moreover, among the congregation, there are many remnants of the Yellow Turbans from the Central Plains mixed in.These people are also the backbone of hundreds of thousands of followers.

"Often retreat and practice... only when you leave the seclusion, you only use talisman water! This Taoist expert who is the last of the three immortals, it seems that he is not an ambitious person, but a cultivator who is dedicated to cultivating the Tao and becoming a fairy!"

Gao Cheng's vision has become very precise after being tempered in these worlds, and he feels that there is basically no mistake. As for why Yu Ji was killed by Sun Ce in the original timeline, it can only be said that the talisman water effect he made is so good that Most of the people in Yangzhou have won the hearts of the people.

Coupled with the remnants of the Yellow Turbans among the hundreds of thousands of congregants, it is very feared!
After sending off the army going south, Gao Cheng checked the detailed information about Yu Ji and Taipingqing Lingdao in the mansion.As for the mutual contacts between Yu Ji and Wu Jun's several aristocratic families, this is nothing.After all, everyone wants to make friends with a rumored immortal.

If there is any conspiracy between the two of them, Gao Cheng is not worried at all.As long as he is still sitting in Yangzhou, he will have enough confidence to suppress all ghosts and monsters.

Afterwards, Gao Cheng walked out of the room, glanced at Xu Chu who was standing outside holding a knife, and said with a smile, "Zhongkang, please go and give me an order. After an hour, we will go to Wu County and meet that Sanxian Yuji!"

Xu Chu's current official position is the school lieutenant, and he is the commander of Gao Cheng's personal army.A peerless fierce general from the ninth floor of the refining gang acts as a guard, and now only Gao Cheng has such a luxury.

But Xu Chu was not dissatisfied, he knew that no matter how strong he was, he would not be able to take charge of the army and become Gao Cheng's confidant general just by joining the Yangzhou army.

The custom of the great Han is that no meritorious deeds can be granted as a marquis. If you ascend to a high position without making meritorious service, even if you have great ability, you will not convince your soldiers and colleagues.

Xu Chu has great strength and great confidence. As long as there is a battle in the Yangzhou Army, he will have the confidence to make great contributions.At that time, it will be natural to gain a foothold in the Yangzhou Army and ascend to a high position.Now serving as the commander of Gao Cheng's personal army is also a process of getting close to the lord and getting to know each other.

Xu Chu's face was dull, and he hummed, and called one of his men to prepare the big boat. The fastest way to go to Wujun was to enter Chaohu Lake by boat, and then drive along the Yangtze River through a series of branches of the big river.It won't take long to reach Wu County.

……

On the big river, the waves undulate.Several large ships formed a simple formation and sailed eastwards. Gao Cheng and Xu Chu did not stay in the cabin, but were blowing on the deck.

The river breeze was refreshing, blowing away a trace of hot air in the air.On the river, one can occasionally see merchant ships passing by. The chaos in the mountains in the south of Yangzhou did not cause the merchants to panic, but instead became an opportunity for them to make a fortune.

A large number of merchants transported medicinal materials for treating miasma and various military supplies, which were continuously transported to Danyang and Yuzhang via the Yangtze River.Made a lot of profits from the Yangzhou Army.

Gao Cheng did not prohibit the behavior of these merchants. Instead, he appointed Mi Zhu as Yangzhou Hucao, and resumed his old business to form a huge caravan. A wealthy businessman.This caravan made a lot of money for Yangzhou every day.

Not long after, a huge pier appeared in front of it. There was a lot of people on the pier, and the outline of the military camp could be faintly seen around the pier.This is the Moling camp built to deal with the Xuzhou army stationed in Guangling.Now most of Guangling has fallen into the hands of Yangzhou.The camp was converted into a pier.

In the distance of the barracks, the outline of a big mountain could be seen. Standing on the deck, Gao Cheng used his eyes to scan forward, taking in the terrain near Moling.

"The dragon and the tiger are indeed the emperor's house! It's a pity..." Gao Cheng sighed secretly. This place was the first choice for the capital of the Southern Dynasties, and it was known as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties in later generations. Just a small county town.Nothing to be concerned about.

Gao Cheng also has no idea of ​​managing this place or building a city. In the future, he will capture Jingzhou and Yizhou and strive for hegemony in the world.The center of gravity is in the north.If he built a city in Moling, wouldn't he declare to everyone that he has no ambition to go north and take over the world?In this case, how can the Yangzhou Army recruit talents who are interested in the world?

Wu County, Lou County.

Lou County is located in the east of Wujun County, not far from the East China Sea.There are often legends about cultivators sailing into the sea to seek immortality. There are countless islands in the East China Sea, and there are many hidden treasures and various resources for cultivation.After Yu Ji stayed in Lou County, he kept sending his congregants out to sea, as if they were picking and salvaging something.

"My lord, Yu Ji is retreating in the opposite courtyard!" A man in ordinary clothes reported in a low voice.

Gao Cheng nodded slightly. He and Xu Chu stood on top of a restaurant in Lou County. On the third floor of the restaurant, most of the buildings in Lou County could be seen.The man who spoke was the spy of Embroidery Guards who had been planted on Qingling Road.

On the opposite side of the restaurant is a vast house. Inside the house, huge trees are planted. The canopy of the trees blocks the view from the outside, making it difficult to see what's going on inside.

Just when the spies were about to tell about Chuji's whereabouts in the past few days, Gao Cheng suddenly changed his face, waved his hands, and stopped the spies.Said: "Don't say any more, the other party has already found us!"

Xu Chu's body trembled slightly, and the spies beside him couldn't help opening their mouths, showing shock.

Gao Cheng turned and went downstairs, Xu Chu hurriedly followed behind, and a group of three walked towards the gate of the house. At this time, the guard of the gate seemed to have received some orders, opened the gate, and walked out of the gate, holding a wooden staff. old man.

Sanxian Yuji!When Gao Cheng and Xu Chu saw each other, they subconsciously confirmed his identity.

The old man was wearing a Ge robe, with a gentle expression and an ethereal aura all over his body. When he saw Gao Cheng, a smile appeared on his face immediately, and he said, "I never thought that the mighty Gao Shijun who shook the world turned out to be a man of cultivation. Such a profound Taoist friend..."
