The world of Taoism

Chapter 270

Zhou Xuan's eyes were cold, and he sensed that a group of forces were burning, killing and looting within the territory.

Some people in this village are believers of Shenxiao Tianzun.

That being the case, Zhou Xuan had no choice but to make a move.

With a thought in Zhou Xuan's mind, the Crystal Palace communicated with all the Yin soil within its territory.

Including the Chen family and Xiahou's family, all the Yin soldiers came to the front of the Crystal Palace in an instant.

A dark cloud dragged their figures.

At a glance, there were 800 people.

Apart from the mortal soldiers these days, Zhou Xuan did not forget the Yin soldiers either.

Now in the Yin soil, besides these Yin soldiers, there are more than 2000 true spirits of believers.

Under the irrigation of faith, qualified Yin soldiers continue to emerge.

It is estimated that many people would not have guessed that Zhou Xuan would have such a large number of Yin soldiers.

Only Zhou Xuan's financial resources can put all his beliefs on it.

Only 10% of the beliefs of other gods are applied to believers at most.

After all, Zhou Xuan didn't need to believe in this thing, and the only way for the Divine Firmament to increase his strength was to teach the Taishang Divine Firmament.

Although there are more than 2 believers, they have used their faith more than others with more than 20 believers.

About [-] well-equipped Yin soldiers stood in front of Zhou Xuan.

Wearing golden armor on their bodies, sharp steel knives on their waists, and a bow behind each of them.

Weapons are generally divided into two types, one is the most common weapon transformed from strength, without any special effects.

There is another magic weapon made by masters.

Cut out the shape of the weapon in the real world, write a spell on it, and then burn it to the ghost soldiers in front of the temple.

This kind of weapon has the effect similar to that of a magic weapon, and it is several points stronger than ordinary weapons transformed from power.

A battalion of one hundred people, five battalions are a guard, and there are about one and a half guards standing in front of Zhou Xuan.

Almost everyone has the ability to sense.

Every existence above the team rank has the magic spell of the Supreme God, which is equivalent to a master in the concentration period.

This shows how strong Zhou Xuan's strength is after these months of dormancy.

Xiahouba and Duke Zhongde floated above the sky.

"Greetings to Heavenly Lord Shenxiao!" Everyone said in unison.

"Follow me!" Zhou Xuan didn't say much, but ordered coldly.

The crowd rode dark clouds and followed behind Zhou Xuan like a dark wind.

"Kill! Not one left!"

Below the mountain village, the killing continued.

This group of non-human and ghost-like soldiers and horses came and went like the wind, and every time they turned around, they took a life away, and the ghosts filled the wooden jar at their waists.

The end waiting for these ghosts is either to become a meal on the plate, or to become a new five rampant soldiers.

Half of the people in the village had already died in their hands, and the rest fled in all directions, but they never escaped their pursuit.

Whenever they walked to the edge of the village, these people ran back like ghosts hitting a wall.

"Everyone come to Shenxiao Tianzun Temple!!" An old man said.

The Temple of Shenxiao Tianzun is not big, just a small house with the god card of Shenxiao Tianzun placed on it.

This is such a small temple raised by believers for the convenience of worship, and there is usually no special temple celebration.

A small group of people gathered in front of the temple.

"Heavenly God blesses, disciples worship piously, pray to bless the common people, and drive away evil spirits."

The old man chanted a mantra, and his panicked expression gradually became calm.

It seems that there is really some kind of divine power instilled in the body, making it gain boundless power.

Following the sound of chanting sutras, the crowd no longer panicked, and followed the old man to worship devoutly.

All of a sudden, the panic and screams disappeared, leaving only the voices of the crowd chanting sutras.

In the chaotic world, Tianzun Temple is like a pure land.

Even with swords and swords on his body, life and death are imminent, but he still hasn't abandoned the belief in Shenxiao Tianzun.

People are not following blindly.

Their birth, old age, sickness and death are closely related to the Shenxiao Tianzun Temple during this period.

Miao Zhu looks lofty, but he is very kind. He treats high-ranking officials and ordinary people with the same attitude.

Although the villagers do not have much culture, they still know who treats them well.

Shenxiao Tianzun Temple never asked them for money, nor asked them to donate.

Instead, give them food for survival and talisman water for healing.

These alone are enough to attract the faith of many people.

At this moment of life and death, everyone did not want to resist, and placed their faith in Tianzun.

The old man has nothing to fear, he firmly believes that after death he will be reunited with his family.

Seeing the appearance of everyone like this, Wu Ran's soldiers and horses were slightly taken aback, and then cut them down mercilessly.

Click!

The old man's head fell to the ground, and there was a smile on his face before he died.

The old man felt his eyes go dark, and then a kind of dizziness came.

Opening his eyes, he found that a large family was waiting for him with a smile on his face.

The old man greeted him with a smile.

It seems that the people in the temple did not deceive themselves, and they were indeed able to reunite with their families after death without any worries.

Seeing this scene in the air, Zhou Xuan was quite moved.

Sometimes people do need beliefs, even atheists have some beliefs in their hearts.

The body ensures survival by eating, but the spirit also needs it.

Faith cannot make people invulnerable, but divine power descends from heaven.

But it can give people a kind of sustenance when people are desperate, get rid of fear and face death.

When Zhou Xuan asked Miao Zhu to preach, he consciously referred to a certain religion.

After all, people have such a wide range of beliefs, and they also have their own special features.

Perhaps it is this insignificant warmth and imagination after death that have so many believers.

The moment the old man's head landed, a gust of wind blew up in the temple.

The dark wind blew on the believers without even blowing their clothes.

It blows on the five rampant soldiers and horses like a tornado, blowing them away directly.

"Who?" The leader of the five rampant soldiers shouted loudly.

After the howling wind, rows of divine soldiers in golden armor emerged.

Seeing the scene in front of them, the believers cheered with excitement.

"Heavenly soldiers and generals have descended to earth! We are saved!"

The sky became dark, and the figure of the old man emerged from the clouds.

At this moment, the believer's faith was suddenly strengthened.

It turns out that Shenxiao Tianzun Temple did not lie, and it is indeed possible to enter a peaceful world after death.

"Fire the arrows!" Zhou Xuan ordered.

Two hundred gold-armored soldiers suddenly appeared behind Wu Ran's soldiers and horses.

Ka Ka Ka!
The bowstring was fully drawn, and the arrows came through the air, falling into the camp of soldiers and horses, and took dozens of people away in an instant.

"Do it!" said a general headed by Wu Ran soldiers.

This general is a little taller than ordinary soldiers and horses, with a green face and fangs, and a knife burning with green flames in his hand.

Wuzang soldiers and horses bared their teeth, formed a cloud of mist, and rushed towards the army.

They are several times stronger than ordinary ghosts. Although there are a little more people on the opposite side, they are not afraid.

but…

They forgot that this was Zhou Xuan's territory.

He can put in personnel at any time, and he can also take away personnel.

Whoa!

When the soldiers and horses arrived, the person in front of him suddenly disappeared.

The sky was pitch black, as if the curtain of night had been lifted.

The land was empty, only the five rampant soldiers and horses who rushed to the sky.

In the next second, another group of people appeared behind the five rampant soldiers.

The rain of swords fell and took dozens of lives away.

Although Wu Ran's soldiers and horses were indeed very strong, they were on Zhou Xuan's territory.

Zhou Xuan was within the territory of faith, and he could control soldiers and horses at will.

"Deal with humans!" The general suddenly understood, and the soldiers pointed directly at Tianzun Temple.

Ghosts can leave at any time, but believers can't, and neither can the temples of the gods.

As long as the temple is smashed, the gods will lose control of this place.

"Idiot!" Zhou Xuan's eyes froze.

Whoa!

On the ground, weeds grow wildly, and each blade of grass is extremely sharp, piercing a person instantly.

At the same time, a large ball of light flew down from the sky.

The ball of light is blue, exuding red light, like a big fireball.

The moment the light ball came out, it fell to the ground.

Just when everyone thought the attack was in vain, the ball of light rolled around on the ground and exploded suddenly.

Boom!

For a moment, the sky thunder stirred the ground fire, and the sea of ​​thunder and lightning engulfed the five rampant soldiers and horses.

In the depths of the distant mountains.

Duan Gong's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Who the hell? Who killed my five rampant soldiers!!" Duke Duan was bleeding in his heart.

It took most of my life to get enough of these five soldiers and horses, but now I have lost all the soldiers and horses.

Duan Gong stood up, a puff of black smoke flew out from his cuff, forming a black mirror.

On it, like a movie, the scene of the five rampant soldiers and horses before their death is shown.

In the end, the screen was locked on Zhou Xuan's face.

"Shenxiao Tianzun, right...you will pay the price." Duan Gong looked at the Yin soldiers behind Zhou Xuan, with a flash of greed in his eyes.

As long as Shenxiao Tianzun is taken down, then this Yin soldier can completely supplement the five rampant soldiers.

Thinking of this, Duan Gong pinched the formula with his hands, five rays of light flew above his head, and five flags floated in the air.

4 teams in different colors appear one after another on the open space

There are a total of five characteristics of the five rampant soldiers and horses: the team that was originally wiped out is called hunting in the mountains, and the remaining four are:

Eat raw and eat hot food.

Disheveled hair.

Collect the soul and ban the five rampant.

Catch the soul of life five rampant.

The first troop is dressed in red armor and likes to eat human flesh. It is tall and holds a halberd in its left hand and a shield in its right hand.

The second one with disheveled hair and a steel gun in his hand is a heavy cavalry.

The third one is wearing a green robe and holding a staff. It seems to be a mage.

The fourth one had a sword on his waist and a flag in his hand. There were ghosts crying and howling wolves faintly on the mountain, as if ghosts were imprisoned on it.

This is the five rampant soldiers and horses, representing each type of arms, infantry, shield soldiers, cavalry, spellcasting, and summoning.

There are two thousand in total.

After summoning the soldiers and horses, Duan Gong turned to look at Tarim.

"Boss, the opponent is a god. It may be disadvantageous for us to fight at his home court. Your troops smashed the temple, and I will deal with the Yin soldiers."

"No problem." Tarim smiled.

This time, in addition to burning, killing and looting, he also shouldered a task, which is to spread the belief of gods.

This new god is very interesting, as long as the blood sacrifice is made, it will definitely give back its strength.

The reason why he has the current strength is entirely because of this.

"Okay, I will lead the troops there now." Tarim said.

Although there were only 1000 people, all of them were strong warriors, and ordinary Han people could not resist them at all.

"Boss, you have to change your approach. Like you, you have to kill them all every time you pass. This will lead to more and more resistance."

Duan Gong suggested.

He asked Tarim to change his strategy, and the killing could continue, but he had to share some of the benefits with other Han people, so that other Han people could join them.

Only in this way will more people be coerced, and if there are tens of thousands of people at that time, even tens of thousands of pigs will not be able to kill them face to face.

Tarim groaned for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and said:

"Okay, then do as you say, old man, and you will be in charge of the operation. Intrigue is what you Han people are best at."

Everyone was discussing conspiracies and tricks. On the other side, Zhou Xuan had already settled the matter and sent someone over here to appease the believers.

Seeing the eyes of these believers, Zhou Xuan understood that there would probably be hundreds of fanatical believers in the future.

This is also a normal thing.

In the Taiping era, no matter how firm the believers' beliefs were, they would not reach the level of fanaticism.

In the dark world, faith is a ray of light in the darkness, and it is reasonable to attract so many fanatical believers.

No one is born a fanatic, they are just forced by circumstances.

Fanatics are sometimes a double-edged sword, and sometimes they hurt themselves.

Zhou Xuan also didn't want the phenomenon that his followers were all fanatics, which was obviously not in line with common sense.

After Zhou Xuan went back, he told the old ghost and Qiu Hao about these things.

The three of them sat in the backyard, drinking happily under the moonlight, having a great time.

"Xing, the people suffer. Death, the people suffer." The old ghost sighed, "When will this chaotic world come to an end?"

A large number of people die every day, and people are worth less than dogs.

"Five rampant troops? I may have some bad news." Qiu Hao said in a deep voice, "I reckon there will be a major military disaster, and the target may be you."

Wuzang Bingma is a very famous orthodoxy, usually appearing in troubled times, collecting ghosts, and occupying mountains as kings.

Through Qiu Hao's calculation ability, this conclusion will be applied to Zhou Xuan.

"Really? About how long?" Zhou Xuan said.

"Within a month..."

It seems that we must expand our troops.

But there is no time to do these things at this time.

The only way is to unite the families in the county. It is estimated that the nursing homes of these families can have two to 3000 people together.

Xiahouba's two thousand soldiers, plus the soldiers and horses in his hands, the total is about the same.

"You can unite believers and recruit fanatics among them to teach and build an army, which is enough to form a strong army of iron and blood that is not afraid of death."

"But..." Zhou Xuan expressed his worries.

Fanatics do not have the ability to think independently, and once they lose control, the consequences will be dire.

In the Middle Ages, the theocracy was too powerful to be so dark.

It can be said that it was more oppressive than the feudal era.

Moreover, a group of fanatical guys killed their lives for a few dogmas, and internal friction was very serious.

Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Qiu Hao suddenly smiled:
"So what if the believers are irrational? Don't forget that the celestial master is the highest authority in the world. As long as the celestial master is not dead, who would dare not listen to you?"

"Besides, what serious consequences are you afraid of, can it be darker than it is now?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Xuan suddenly realized.

Everything has a relative.

If one option is not so good, there is another option that is tens or hundreds of times worse.

In contrast, the former is the best option.

Zhou Xuan was blinded by history.

How do you know it's bad if you haven't tried it.

Moreover, Zhou Xuan is very different from them...

Thinking of this, he knew what to do.
