Chapter 100: Left-handed Gushu, three years later

Return to Yizhuang.

Xu Yang told everyone the news.

"it is good!!"

"Success!"

The crowd cheered.

The upgrading of temples to palaces is another big step forward.

From then on, the county town belonged to them.

"Master, should we inform all parties and let them take a look?"

Qingping said.

A few days ago, I don’t know how many people were pessimistic about the charity cemetery and thought that it would be destroyed. Now it’s time to slap them in the face.

"It's up to you. You can do whatever you want."

Xu Yang said it didn't matter.

He seldom managed the affairs of the charity cemetery, and usually left it to Qingping and others to handle.

When we arrived at the backyard of the charity cemetery, the spiritual energy of the spiritual field here had disappeared.

The old landowner was full of doubts and didn't understand what was going on.

"The Fire Elephant King took away the spiritual field."

"The Fire King? Is he the blue-haired lion from before?"

"No. Maybe he is his descendant."

Among the three monsters in Lion Camel Ridge, the Green-haired Lion ranks behind the Dapeng in terms of strength, but this kind of god-level monster is also unattainable in the eyes of ordinary cultivators.

"Does the Great Sage want to replace the Fire King?"

"of course."

If they want to expand their power, the Fire King is a hurdle they cannot overcome. Sooner or later they will have to confront them, but not now.

It never hurts to take a long-term view.

As Xu Yang returned to the charity ceremonies, news from the ordination ceremony gradually spread.

Explosive news came out that Taoist Zhigang personally accepted disciples and Xu Yang became the second-generation disciple of the County Palace.

In terms of seniority, Zhao Xianglu had to call Xu Yang his uncle-master at that time.

The powerless Xu Yang suddenly became a big shot with a powerful background.

Quhuang County Government Office.

General Black Fish summoned his only two remaining captains, Red Crab and Snake Envoy, overnight.

"From now on, Yizhuang, oh no, Jiuyouguan has the final say. Xu Yang can do whatever he wants. We will ignore him. Even if he kills someone in the system, we will pretend to be confused, not report it, and not investigate it. Do you understand?"

"I obey your orders!!"

The two men half-knelt and obeyed.

General Blackfish was completely scared.

He has the imperial court behind him and his background seems strong, but can it be as strong as that of the direct descendants of the Zhang family?

Zhang Siyuan died in unclear circumstances and his body is nowhere to be found. The mastermind behind the death, Xu Yang, did not suffer any punishment at all and was instead promoted and given a higher rank. How could this not cause panic?

"Fortunately, I stood on Xu Yang's side when I inherited the Red-Faced Yaksha. This person should remember the friendship we had back then, right?"

General Blackfish thought so.

Chechi Palace.

This place, like other county palaces, is large in scale and has luxurious palaces.

The building in the center seems to have an exotic style.

Dome, white walls, stone columns and arches.

Zhang Renwen enters the White Palace.

The person living here is the ancestor of the Zhang family of Chechi Palace - Zhang Tai, whose Taoist name is Chunjian.

He was a man of extraordinary talent at first, but unfortunately he was identified as a top-notch genius, but did not meet the standards to be killed, so he stayed in the palace as a eunuch.

A young man was lying on the giant clam bed.

The young man had a pale face and no eyebrows, which were painted with cinnabar. His long hair was tied into horns. He had no Taoist robe on, but a piece of white cloth dotted with gems.

Every move he makes has a feminine air.

This is Zhang Tai.

The first generation of the Zhang family.

Zhang Renwen and Zhang Renwu are the second generation of Great Dan monks.

Including Zhang Tai himself, there are only three big pills in total, which shows the weakness of the Chechi Zhang family.

"My son is incompetent and unable to kill the murderer with his own hands!" Zhang Renwen fell to his knees.

"It's not that you are incompetent, it's that I am incompetent."

Zhang Tai laughed at himself. If he were a spiritual cultivator, would they fall out with the Zhang family for an ordinary second-generation disciple?
They are half disabled, but have profound Zhigang Taoist skills. They can single-handedly challenge the remaining two Dadan of the Zhang family. This is where their confidence comes from.

"We will have a chance to compete with them in the future. The current situation is unstable, and the Fire King may make a big move." Zhang Tai comforted, "Is the human heart grass ready?"

"almost."

Zhang Tai's face turned red, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes: "Okay, okay, I will go into seclusion and break through immediately."

People in the Lingtai realm can live for two thousand years. Breaking through this realm is equivalent to adding a thousand years of life out of thin air.

Then everything we are facing now will no longer be a problem.

Dijie County once again returned to the era of competition among the three powers.

"Congratulations, father!" Zhang Renwen stood up and congratulated.

Zhang Tai calmed down at this time and ordered: "Renwen, select two people from the Zhang family's primary pill masters to serve as medicine guides."

"Father, can't outsiders do this?" Zhang Renwen's voice trembled.

These are all descendants of the Zhang family. How can he start?

"Without sacrificing these two people, the Zhang family cannot turn things around." Zhang Tai said coldly.

Taoist Shenmu really seized the opportunity that day and made the Zhang family suffer a major setback.

Unfortunately, no matter how much these people planned, they still couldn't control themselves.

"Yes!"

Zhang Renwen was in despair.

After collecting all the materials, the ancestor went into seclusion again.

The Sanjun Palace became strangely quiet, and Dijie County returned to peace again.

Zoom out a little further.

The Fire Nation's power was consumed in large quantities at the border, and soon the aftereffects began to appear.

As the Fire King went into seclusion, the core area of ​​the underworld lost control, large demonic forces became restless, wild Buddhas, demons, and demon Taoists began to descend to the mortal world, and the world became uneasy again.

The evil spirits were spreading everywhere among the people.

It is impossible to rely on the unorthodox sects to maintain order. The unorthodox sects have always been known for their looseness. Originally, they were suppressed by the imperial court and the Fire King guarded the courtyard, so the unorthodox demons had to act according to the established order.

The rituals and music were collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and some evil demons took it upon themselves to disrupt the order and colluded with foreign monsters.

There is also a part of them that raise demons, kill in the name of demons, and practice their own evil techniques.

Half a year passed in a flash.

Quhuang County.

Jiuyou Temple was officially opened.

The Yellow Springs Ghost Den Array formed a formation, covering the entire Taoist temple.

I saw a dark cloud covering a corner of the county town all day long.

It is eerie and scary, but the people are not afraid of it.

Land temples spread out one by one towards the towns and villages below.

Except for the two townships controlled by Huangya Temple and the Baosheng Niangniang Temple in Taiping Township, the other twenty-three townships all have Tudi Laoer temples.

Jiuyou Temple is no longer the manor it once was.

Instead, it is an organic whole composed of twelve halls and courtyards with different functions.

White Tiger Hall.

Xu Yang gathered everyone together.

"From now on, the deacon will be promoted to a hall, handling the affairs of the entire county, and the deacons will handle the affairs of each township. Qingping, you will be responsible for coordinating all parties."

"As ordered!"

Xu Yang's philosophy is simple: control all interests and operations under his rule, and turn his territory into a watertight territory. On this territory, he selects his own talents.

The left-wing forces are growing stronger step by step.

Return to the training hall.

There are spiritual fields all around the training hall.

Wow! !

A white vortex emerged from the ground, and an old man in official uniform appeared, spinning around.

"I pay my respects to the Great Sage!"

The old landowner laughed.

After the spread of faith, the old men of the land were able to gather in the human world, possessed foundation-building-level combat power, and could appear at will in every corner of the territory.

"Besides the original spell, what else can you do?"

"It promotes the growth of crops and dispels pests." The old farmer answered truthfully.

"very good."

Xu Yang nodded.

In this way, the country can enjoy good weather and good harvests.

First, cultivate the fields in the Taoist temple, and then use the cultivated grain to exchange for blood, so there is no need to worry about the blood sacrifice.

After half a year, the Taoist temple was finally built and restored to normal operation.

"Next, I should practice the Corpse Forest and Gu Technique." Xu Yang thought to himself, and suddenly remembered something, "Old Landlord, how is the situation in the underworld Qing Hai Di?"

“Still there.”

"Well, keep an eye on it."

Xu Yang was not absolutely sure, so he did not dare to take the risk to investigate. He would at least wait until he learned about the Forest of Bones and other things.

Quiet room.

It was dim and pitch dark.

Xu Yang activated the blood-transmitted witchcraft.

This is the fundamental secret method of a certain demonic sect in Yinshan. When Taoist Zhigang was young, he single-handedly wiped out this sect.

The meaning of Gu Shu is insect in a dish. People have the impression that Gu Shu is mostly about putting poisonous insects such as snakes, scorpions, etc. into the same container, letting them eat and kill each other, and the only poisonous insect left alive is the Gu.

This is just a basic Gu.

Advanced Gu, for example, can fly, transform, and glow, appearing and disappearing like ghosts.

Ignoring all the miscellaneous bugs, Xu Yang went straight to the mental method. To practice witchcraft, one must absorb the foul air from the blood river in the underworld.

The blood river and the foul air are the most poisonous and filthy things in the world. They are the most poisonous of poisons and the most filthy of filth.

Only the true Qi formed in this way can be used to practice the way of Gu insects.

"No wonder Master can't practice. The art of the left way is also divided into different systems. If you use Taiyin True Qi to practice forcefully, it will not only damage your foundation, but it may also cause the art to backfire on you."

If there were no Warring States silk book, it would be impossible to practice this method, and it might even have side effects.

The art of witchcraft mainly uses various poisonous insects.

"The method of refining corpses is mainly based on human bodies and various fierce beasts, and the poisonous insects are mainly based on poisonous insects and egg-laying animals, which just fills this gap."

The Taiyin Corpse-Driving Method claims that everything can be refined. Taoist Zhigang once studied the method of refining insect corpses and found it too difficult.

Some insects are not even a whole, but only when they are counted together do they constitute a complete group.

Only through the art of witchcraft, through the method of fighting between poisonous insects, can the mysterious witchcraft be practiced.

"Refining Gu requires mental skills, a black altar, Gu technique restrictions, blood sacrifices, and various poisonous insects. These are not lacking."

There are three powerful Gu techniques in Yinshan Blood Gu:

Dragon Gu: A Gu made from poisonous insects such as centipedes, venomous snakes, and slugs.

When it is refined into a dragon shape, it is called dragon Gu. If it does not have a dragon shape, it is called according to its original form, such as snake Gu, centipede Gu, etc.

Qilin Gu: lizards, frogs, geckos, longhorn beetles, etc.

Dog Gu: An extremely rare large-scale Gu technique. After refining it into a dog Gu, you can release a dog to kill people.

Xu Yang studied it sentence by sentence, and he could only practice it after he understood it thoroughly.

Although the Warring States Silk Book can cultivate all kinds of magic, there is a possibility of failure in practicing magic, and there is no medicine for regret in the world.

In addition to witchcraft, there is also the forest of corpses and fundamental methods of cultivation.

Bone Forest.

Dark bamboo leaves fall, green lake ripples.

The huge creature appeared and disappeared in the water, and the six-headed zombie dragon turned into a seven-headed zombie dragon.

For the first time, a smile appeared on Zhigang's tense face.

"Old man, what are you looking at?"

Xu Yang's figure suddenly appeared here, and his address changed from Master to Old Man.

It’s not that he didn’t understand the rules, but Zhi Gang was really not used to the serious title of Master, and he had to pay his respects to him every month.

It's too serious, but I also feel like since I'm calling him that, I have to give something. It's better to have a more relaxed and happy way of getting along with him, so that there's no pressure to let him do what he wants.

So the name was changed to old man.

"Here it comes? Look." Zhi Gang pointed at the zombie dragon, "I finally figured it out, haha."

The two exchanged their insights, and Zhi Gang occasionally pointed out the tricks of cultivation.

Taoist Zhigang is worthy of being a great elixir cultivator. He pointed out the direction right away.

"In the foundation-building stage, the river cart will automatically run. If you want to improve quickly, you can only speed up through formations, pills, or special secret methods. There is a good foundation-building medicine in the Saga County Palace, which costs about twenty merits per pill."

Xu Yang wrote down the experience that Taoist Zhigang had said.

Although the fundamental skills are improving steadily, who wouldn’t want to go faster?

While the two were chatting, Xu Yang happened to mention the recent chaos in the world.

Zhi Gang smiled coldly: "It will come sooner or later. The contradiction between humans and demons is irreconcilable. Humans will eat demons, and demons will eat humans. This is a matter of course. Anyone with insight can see that the Fire Kingdom will definitely split."

The reason why he was in a hurry to sew the zombies together was because he could see the changes in the future.

Xu Yang heard this statement for the first time and asked curiously, "Could it be that the previous order was suppressed by the Fire King alone?"

"Haha, demons and ghosts, how can they be so kind? It's just a tacit understanding of various forces. Do you know why the Fire King seized the country?"

"I don't know."

In fact, every cultivator knows that the Fire Elephant King was originally the mount of the Fire Wheel Buddha King. Later, he endured hardships and killed the Fire Wheel Buddha King.

This is just propaganda. Xu Yang knows that Man Fo has a way to control him, so how can he let his mount rebel so easily?

"The Fire Elephant King did kill the Fire Wheel Buddha King, and the River Cart and the Black Pearl Palaces made great contributions."

At that time, the two palaces were a force that was strangled by the Fire Wheel Buddha King and were guerrilla warfare in every corner of Yinshan Mountain.

Heche Daoren and Gu Cangqiong of Xuanzhu Palace figured out a way to break the magic of Savage Buddha, so they joined forces with Fire Elephant King to kill the Buddha King.

The three parties established the Fire Kingdom.

"Later, the Fire King felt that he had to balance the two palaces, so he won over the Yinshan demons and established the Magpie Bridge Palace. There are actually two factions in the Fire Kingdom, the human faction led by Xuanzhu and Heche, and the demon faction led by Fire King and Magpie Bridge."

The previous stable order was only possible under the checks and balances between the two sides.

Humans cannot kill naturalized demons, and demons cannot kill monks.

A basic order was established, and there was a tacit understanding that large-scale massacres of mortals were not allowed.

Don't the demons want to use the blood of the cultivators to make blood food? Don't the human cultivators want to kill high-level demons to make pills?

Coupled with the Fire King's constant assassination of human geniuses and his attempts to interfere with various major forces, the balance was gradually broken.

“I have concluded that the injury of the Fire Elephant this time must have been caused by a cultivator from the human race.” Taoist Zhigang smiled coldly.

Maybe the fire sign wasn't hurt at all, and just wanted to hide and see how the situation would turn out.

"I see."

Xu Yang suddenly realized that, as expected, without contact with the upper class, one would not know these secrets at all.

Of course, this does not mean that the Fire Kingdom will split immediately.

The imperial masters have long lives, so it is possible that they may engage in intrigue and scheming for hundreds of years.

What we need to do is not to become their cannon fodder.

Xu Yang changed the subject and asked, "Can insect corpse refining work?"

"It won't work. It's too difficult. Even if you can refine these tiny poisonous insects, do you want to refine tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of them one by one? Don't waste your time."

Xu Yang bid farewell to Taoist Zhigang and returned to Jiuyou Temple to meditate.

No matter what, the spell is yours after all, so make yourself stronger first.

Time flies, and three years go by in a flash.
