Starting from the lifting of human restrictions

Chapter 145 Chen Chao
The past history of this world is not very clear, only that the current country name is Chen.

More than a hundred years ago, there was a civil strife in the Chen Dynasty, and more than a dozen princes rebelled against the rebels. There were repeated battles, the people were chaotic, and the bones were exposed in the wild.

After that, it took a full 20 years. Relying on the national power and legitimacy accumulated over the years, the Chen Dynasty barely suppressed the rebellion.However, after repeated battles, Chen Chao's vitality was seriously injured, and his national strength was less than one-tenth of what it was at its peak.

If this is the case, it’s fine, but one of the emperors who succeeded the Chen Dynasty first, in order to seek longevity, built large-scale construction projects, labored the people and wasted money, and then changed his mind to squeeze the people at the bottom. struggle.

The Chen Dynasty, which has not yet fully recovered its vitality, is gradually in a state of extreme chaos internally.

Although it is still barely under the framework of the unified dynasty, the imperial court's control over the local area has been weakened to the minimum.

Even if there is no large-scale rebellion like before, corrupt officials are rampant, bandits and bullies are everywhere, tyrants form strongholds to protect themselves, and the real people are in dire straits.

Under the superimposed influence of wars, tyranny, and disasters accumulated over the years, many places in the Chen Dynasty have become empty, the population has dropped sharply, and countless evil spirits have been bred.

The monsters and strange things that were only heard occasionally in the past are no longer anecdotes to many living people.

Over the past few decades, just like Baiyao Mountain, some monsters who are born with spiritual wisdom and know how to practice have gradually established some primitive and crude social order in remote places.

As for the Chen Dynasty, most of the time, except for a few powerful monks who travel the world, they will go to kill demons, and the central and local bureaucrats, no matter what level of bureaucracy they are, are almost indifferent.

The entire Chen Dynasty looked like an old man who was so old that he couldn't even raise his hands and feet. He could only watch the flies and insects breeding inside, and the poisonous insects, rats and ants sucking flesh and blood outside, dragging the humane people all over the world, step by step. To decline.

"If this is the case, in this world, Pingyang Village, a village ruled by a big demon, is really better than the precarious and chaotic life outside."

Yang Chu rubbed the fur on the back of Tu Shiqi's neck with his fingers, and with a slightly firm finger, Tu Shiqi, who was lying on the ground, was digesting the flesh and blood of the fox demon, and his teeth chattered slightly.

It didn't understand half of what Gui Yifan said, but after it awoke to consciousness, the innate instinct of the wise little demon made him clearly feel that Yang Chu was in an extremely bad mood at this time.

From what Gui Yifan said, if what he said was true, Yang Chu could almost imagine how chaotic and absurd Chen Chao was at this time.

As for the rebellion and survival in the last years of the dynasty, Yang Chu can also imagine such things.

This Chen Dynasty should have erupted once before, which led to a sharp decline in the population, and the appearance of monsters and ghosts may have caused the remaining Liming people to rise up and overthrow the old order.

There may be many internal and external factors, and it is difficult to explain for a while.

However, as for the specifics, these things are not something that needs to be considered immediately. It is probably enough to know a thing or two for the time being. "In this village, Tie met a family of father and son who moved out. During the chat, he mentioned that he had met strange people and got a few talismans."

After Gui Yifan finished speaking, Tie Canghong took out two chapters of talismans that looked quite old from his sleeve, and handed them to Yang Chu, "I heard from the head of the household that this talisman has a magical effect. I can't see it, but since there are monsters born, there should be some strange people in this world."

As he said that, Tie Canghong glanced at Tu Shiqi who was lying on the ground, as if he meant something.

"My lord, my little one knows."

Tu Shiqi was so clever, when he noticed Tie Canghong's gaze on him, he immediately yelled.

"Tell me."

Yang Chu put the talisman in the palm of his hand, looked at it carefully, and asked Tu Shiqi to continue talking.

"The little one hasn't become a demon yet, but when he was ignorant, when he strayed into the territory of the Eagle Demon in the north, he was almost killed by an old eagle. As a result, he happened to meet a...a monk on the way. The little one saw a ray of light passing by, and the old eagle landed on the ground. The little one was so frightened that he lost his wits, took a glance, and fled far away."

When Tu Shiqi mentioned this, there seemed to be some lingering fear in his tone, he paused, and then continued, "When I was in Zhaoyunling, I heard those monsters talk about it, and it seemed that there were monks passing by, my king... Ah bah, it was the tiger demon who was so frightened that he found an excuse to visit friends on other hills. This is also what I said to that red-haired fox Hu Juer just now."

As he said that, Tu Shiqi glanced around the few people present, and turned his black eyes to look at Yang Chu eagerly, as if to say that Yang Chu is not a big monk.

"stop looking."

Yang Chu put down the talisman, glanced at Rabbit Seventeen lightly, and pointed beside the campfire, "Run around here for me."

"what?!"

Tu Shiqi's movements seemed to stop suddenly, his mouth opened wide, as if he didn't understand why Yang Chu made such a move.

"I didn't tell you to stop, don't stop."

Yang Chu didn't explain, but just said another sentence.

Seeing that Rabbit Seventeen pitifully began to run around the campfire with a diameter of about ten meters, Yang Chu looked away.

He just observed the situation of the rabbit demon with the spiritual power of his right eye. The flesh and blood that he swallowed was not refined at all, but was stored in his belly. He could only let the rabbit demon speed up the refining of the flesh and blood demon power in this way.

It is related to this kind of strange power such as monster power and the transformation of monsters, Yang Chu needs to observe its changes at a closer distance.

He handed the talisman back to Tie Canghong and said, "I don't know magic, but this talisman is indeed not ordinary."

With Yang Chu's psionic right eye, he could detect some kind of power faintly lingering on these talismans. It was different from psionic power, and it didn't look like demon power. Maybe it should be the magic power of some Taoist priests or monks, but there were too few samples , he could not analyze it.

As for how Tie Canghong recruited this talisman from the people in the village, Yang Chu didn't ask, snakes have ways of snakes and rats have ways of mice.

A character like Tie Canghong may seem rough and unconcerned, but he has rich experience in walking the rivers and lakes. Maybe he has done things like thieves cutting trails before.

"I have to confirm something here."

Yang Chu saw that everyone had almost eaten their fill, and in the exchange of information between several people, he had already understood the situation of himself and his surroundings, and was born again.

"Brother Yang, please speak."

Seeing that Yang Chu spoke solemnly, Gui Yifan sat up slightly.

Several other people gathered around the bonfire, their faces showing seriousness.

"The tiger demon in Zhaoyunling is going to get married in a couple of days, and many monsters and even monks will come to celebrate. You all know this. Even if you want to leave Baiyao Mountain and pass Zhaoyunling, this is still an opportunity. .With me here, it shouldn't be difficult even if you run into trouble. But..."

Yang Chu looked around the crowd, and said slowly, "Your side mission: to save the living people, is to eradicate the four great monsters on the Hundred Demon Mountain. There are rewards for this mission, but no punishment. I think your rewards are quite For the sake of richness, three exchange opportunities, once used, and two more, can quickly improve your strength. So, are you sure you want to complete it?"

After asking this question, the five people present fell into silence for a while.

The main task is to survive for one year.

But the side missions are first to slay demons and demons, and then to save the common people.

Everyone has tasted the sweetness of slaying demons and demons.

Even if it's just a transformed pig demon, the rewards given are really not low.This time, the fox demon didn't even do anything, and just got five merit points out of thin air.

But if you really want to complete it and eradicate the four big monsters in Baiyao Mountain, you can imagine the danger involved.

Ordinary people like Yuan Xu and Liu Xiangshu, if no one protects them, they can basically be said to be dead without life.

"and also……"

Seeing that everyone fell silent, Yang Chu spoke out again.

Everyone raised their heads again and looked at Yang Chu.

Yang Chu's eyes fell on Gui Yifan, Pei Hongni and Tie Canghong one after another, with a smile on his face, he said lightly: "I am very interested in your martial arts, um, that internal strength, I wonder if you can give it to me?" Refer to one or two for details?"
