Chapter 244

Hong Shangwu's laughter was resounding, implying strength through the body, which made the muscles, bones and joints vibrate and resonate in those who heard it, and their hands and feet felt numb for a while.

Although Hong Shangwu is wearing a simple kudzu dress, he exudes a domineering aura that cannot be ignored.

Sensing the other party's undisguised display of his own cultivation, Qian Shaobai realized that he was a little overconfident. This Hong Shangwu might have already reached the realm of Yi Jin Xie marrow and fetal breath terma.

In Taoism and Immortal Dao, there has always been a saying that "the womb breathes continuously and prolongs life for a long time", which is a necessary process for breaking through the mortal body and refining the immortal body.Afterwards, it is time to prepare for the immortality of the inner knot and the bone-changing shape.

There is nothing fancy or tricky about this process. It mostly relies on hard work and years of cleansing, comprehending the yin and yang of the world and the four seasons.

Even in Shangjingzong, there are only a few monks who have reached this level.As far as Qian Shaobai knows, there are a few elders who are older than the head of the sect and the four immortals. Because of the lack of a chance, they have not been married for a long time.They concentrate on keeping their fetal breath, and build a hut in the mountains to practice without caring about world affairs. If they are not burdened by worldly affairs, they may prolong their lives for a few more years.

And if it was another sect's inheritance, Qian Shaobai wouldn't be so afraid, but this Hong Shangwu's Xuanmen Xianwu roots in Chongxu Mountain are too obvious, so Qian Shaobai can see it at a glance.

The school of Chongxu Mountain uses martial arts to enter Taoism. Unlike swordsmanship, which focuses on sharpness and sharpness, Xuanmen Xianwu initially guides by observing the shapes of birds and beasts. base.

Practitioners of this method mostly haunt the mountains and fields, and will inevitably encounter ferocious beasts, birds, and evil spirits. Over time, it is unique to deduce fist and foot martial arts from guiding limbs to defend themselves against robbery.

At that time, Chongxu Mountain was a leader in the study of Taoist martial arts, a person with advanced cultivation, not only strong muscles and bones, vigorous vitality, but also able to sense animals and animals, making himself as strong as a rhinoceros and elephant, faster than a tiger and leopard, and even able to With a breath of true energy, he turned into a spirit bird and auspicious beast guard to help out.

Even though Xuanmen Xianwu may have some deficiencies in the variation of techniques, the subtlety of it cannot be underestimated, and when it comes to head-to-head combat, the monks of Xianwu are powerful and powerful, and their muscles and bones are not afraid of various techniques.

During the chaos in the last years of Tianxia, ​​there was a story of people from the Chongxu Mountain Sect rushing straight into the army formation with bare hands, forcing them to fight a way out and capture the generals alive.

But perhaps it was this cultivation of immortal martial arts that caused Chongxu Mountain to be deeply involved in the end of Tianxia and the Great War of the Five Kingdoms, and eventually attracted the evil cultivators of the Corpse Cult who coveted the bodies of immortal martial arts monks.After several twists and turns, the school of Chongxu Mountain withered, just adding a footnote to the troubled times.

Seeing Hong Shangwu at this moment, Qian Shaobai was really surprised, not to mention that he was pretending to be good at flying swords at the moment, even if he sacrificed his natal magic weapon, Hong Ying Orb, he was not sure that he could beat Hong Shangwu.

"Are you kidding? It's a bad time for a bandit leader to be so powerful." Qian Shaobai regretted not listening to Guan Shiping's advice.

But after thinking about it, now that Hong Shangwu is about to take all the Twelve Villages of Shiliang under his command, it is difficult to win with Guan Shiping's soldiers alone, and it is still the best strategy to design to disturb this nest of bandits.

"I haven't asked Fellow Daoist Qian where is the fairyland?" Although Hong Shangwu has a high level of cultivation, there is still an indelible reckless temperament in his words and deeds.

"Jiyuan Mountain, Qingxi Cave." Qian Shaobai was not at all vulnerable.

"It turned out to be a master of Qingxi Cave, who has been admiring him for a long time." Hong Shangwu naturally had never heard of this sect, so he said something casually, and at the same time he was examining Qian Shaobai.

Different from the revealing of the morale of the Immortal Martial Arts, Shang Jingzong's practice of the three-light magic method pays attention to the inner light, so it is not easy for outsiders to spy out their cultivation base unless they fight with each other.

It seems that because he failed to see Qian Shaobai's solid foundation, Hong Shangwu was more afraid of him, so he raised his hand and said: "Liuyezhai came from a long way, please take a seat!"

Master Chen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Immortal Qian is a savior from heaven, without him, he would not know how he would be bullied.

"Now that all the families are here, I can say something freely."

In the Juyi Hall, the owners and leaders of the Shiliang Twelve Villages gathered together, Hong Shangwu sat above the chief seat, looked around and said, "I just received the news that the imperial court has sent [-] soldiers and horses. The day is about to cross the Zujiang River in the south and rush towards us."

"Thirty thousand soldiers and horses! Are you serious?" His words stirred up waves, and all the village owners present couldn't sit still.

All the bandits in the Shiliang Twelve Villages may not be able to add up to [-]. Even the most powerful Bailong Village only has more than [-] horses. Other villages simply cannot support so many people.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient." Hong Shangwu raised his hand and pressed falsely: "[-] soldiers and horses are just a claim to the outside world. In my opinion, [-] is not bad."

Everyone managed to calm down, but Qian Shaobai murmured in his heart: "You are really flattering, the imperial court sent more than [-] people to Guan Shiping, so most of them were recruited."

Hong Shangwu continued: "In recent years, there have been catastrophes in the Xiong Kingdom. It can be seen that the court has lost its morality and caused various punishments from the heavens. I even heard that the Zujiang flood flooded many counties and counties. The reason was that the princes and relatives secretly sent Who can tolerate such a heartless act of tearing down the embankment?!"

"Sure enough! This is Xiong Guoman, who is a bunch of people who are doing harm to the country and the people!"

"Damn it, it's the other way around! Master Hong, what do you want to do! We all listen to you!"

The leaders of the various village chiefs spoke one after another, scolding the dynasty and venting the injustice they encountered in the past.Qian Shaobai sat silently, carefully observing everyone's words and deeds.

The fact that princes and relatives destroyed the levee in order to occupy the fields was too appalling, Qian Shaobai did not believe it.

Not to mention the great momentum of the Zujiang flood, once the embankment is destroyed, the flood will fill the country, and there will be nowhere to occupy the land if the time comes.Moreover, the embankment of the Zujiang River is solid and long, better than a city fortress, and it is not so easy to destroy it. Even if it is only a small gap, thousands of civilians must be mobilized, and even monks and sorcerers must be invited to destroy it.

But if this is really done, too many people are involved, and it is impossible to conceal the news.What's more, Xiongguo is in such a difficult situation now, even if some nobles really go crazy, not many people dare to accompany them to seek their own death.

Now there is Xiong Guo's left prime minister taking care of the outside and the right prime minister governing the interior. They are all officials of the country, especially the right prime minister. Since he was appointed, he has enacted the law and punished the officials. Those princes and relatives dare to suffer bad luck at this time because they think they are not dead enough. soon?
As soon as Qian Shaobai heard Hong Shangwu's words, he knew that he was bullying the other village owners, and he knew little about it, and he deliberately incited the crowd.

As long as you understand the cause and effect of the upheaval in Dongsheng Capital, and know that the chaotic turbidity caused the catastrophe, you will not be superstitious about the theory of punishment from heaven.

In fact, after the upheaval of Dongsheng Capital, the entire Kunlun Continent was affected, and the mountains of Yaochi Kingdom collapsed, causing countless casualties. The melting of ice and snow and the surge of the river source happened to be one of the reasons for the great flood in Zujiang.

After the flood and the locust disaster, the situation in Xuanming Kingdom in northern Xinjiang was even worse. The locusts passed by and there was no grass growing. Coupled with years of frost damage, the livestock population of the Rongdi tribes in northern Xinjiang was severely reduced, and they had to go south to plunder.

As for Jiuli Kingdom, in addition to frequent earthquakes, there was also a plague epidemic. Some tribes were dead, and the situation was extremely miserable.

If you really want to count it down, Xiong Guo can barely support it by relying on the family fortune accumulated after Shouyang's elimination of soldiers.The levee of the Zujiang River was washed away by the flood, and it can only be regarded as a lack of manpower at times. Not all disasters have to be manipulated by a conspirator behind the scenes.

On the other hand, Huaxu Kingdom, which experienced the upheaval in Dongshengdu, was half occupied by Chiyundu, and Da Sima Luoyi controlled the government. So far, it has not been able to recover from the catastrophe of that year.

"The imperial court has regarded us as rebels. You all hope that we will be recruited and appointed in the future. I'm afraid it will be difficult." Hong Shangwu revealed his true intentions: "What's more, the amount of money and food that can be borrowed in the large and small cities under the mountain is getting less and less. .For a long-term plan, apart from merging the twelve villages of Shiliang into one family and ordering out one family, we also have to go down the mountain to find another way to make a living."

"Is the leader of the village master Hong planning to separate himself from one side and become the king by splitting the soil?" asked the few leaders of the village masters who were not incited.

"The flood in Zujiang affected several counties, and the people in these places were caught in the water and fire. It is time for us to raise our arms and rescue the people!" Hong Shangwu said solemnly: "This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Right now, there is the Zujiang River and the water swamps all over the place to hinder the court soldiers and horses, if the flood recedes, let alone a big event, the twelve villages in Shiliang alone will be trapped on the mountain, and they will be defeated by the officers and soldiers one by one!"

Qian Shaobai nodded slightly, this Hong Shangwu is not only superb in cultivation, but also unique in his grasp of the situation, he is by no means a reckless warrior.And he doesn't just talk about righteousness, he still explains the pros and cons of things to everyone.

In addition, the two village owners with a large number of horses obviously did not intend to stand up. Seeing that they were soft, Hong Shangwu secretly smiled in his heart.

"I don't know what Liuye Village thinks?" Hong Shangwu cast his gaze.

Master Chen didn't know how to answer for a moment. He looked at Qian Shaobai. The other party knew that Hong Shangwu was trying to test him, so he said, "Master Hong has great ambitions. I admire him. He just wants to do big things, grab territory, and send soldiers and horses." Is there enough money and food? What's more, the four immortals of Xiong Kingdom are famous, if they leave the army and come directly to Bailongzhai, will the master of Hongzhai's cultivation be able to resist it?"

In fact, looking at the entire Xiongguo, the Four Immortals really have to be busy with things. The Shiliang Twelve Villages have not yet become a major disaster, and the Four Immortals have no time to be here.

And as a junior disciple, if Qian Shaobai can deal with it, he doesn't have to trouble the Fourth Immortal.

Hong Shangwu stared at Qian Shaobai and said with a smile: "Does Fellow Daoist Qian think that I am difficult to take on the important task?"

Qian Shaobai maintained an unruly attitude: "I'm afraid that you will die miserably halfway without success, and implicate the hero who has been with you in this room."

Hong Shangwu didn't get angry, he stood up and asked, "Have you heard of Longtan, Fellow Daoist Qian?"

"It is said that there is a Jiaolong cave in the back mountain of your Bailongzhai. I don't know if it is true or not." Qian Shaobai sneered and looked around: "I just heard that this Juyi hall was originally a temple for worshiping the Dragon King? You took over his house Dojo, aren’t you afraid of retribution?”

"The dragon living here flew away a long time ago, and the incense in the temple has long been cut off." Hong Shangwu calmly replied: "As for the Longtan in the back mountain, it is an unowned cave for future generations to open. Presumably money Fellow Daoist has also discovered that Gao Tian's fresh air keeps flowing down to Bailong Village, so it can be seen that there must be a treasure house with rich treasures in this Jiaolong Cave Mansion!"

Qian Shaobai was about to refute, but he heard Hong Shangwu whispering in his ear: "I want to condense the remaining real dragon energy in the Jiaolong Cave Mansion, so that I can integrate my past cultivation and transform into a fetal immortal in one fell swoop. I advise you, Fellow Daoist Qian. Don't get in the way."

"True dragon energy?" Qian Shaobai was amazed, just like ascension to immortality will draw the air to flow into the mortal world and condense into Kunlun jade, and the aquarium will leave some subtle remnants after transforming into a dragon.

For example, the dragon's blood fat produced in the Holy Valley of Jiuli Kingdom is said to be that when the real dragon ascended to the sky, it was struck by thunder, and the dragon's blood was scattered all over the mountains and rivers, making the vegetation mutated and becoming a unique treasure of heaven and earth, which also contains a trace of real dragon energy. machine, but it is so shallow that it is almost negligible.

If the origin of the Jiaolong Cave Mansion in the back mountain of Bailongzhai is true, it must contain abundant real dragon energy.But can this kind of thing really be collected and condensed at will?Qian Shaobai was skeptical about this, even if Hong Shangwu did have such abilities, he was still a human being after all, even if he made great progress in his cultivation base, he might still have trouble facing the Four Immortals.

Hong Shangwu continued to say through voice transmission: "I know that you are also here for the rare treasures of the cave. Don't worry, I will not compete with fellow daoist. As long as you are willing to work hard to break the restriction on the door of the cave, all the magic treasures, medicines, and heavenly treasures in it will Friends of Daoist Qian can enjoy the treasures of materials and land, and the formulas of immortal scriptures."

"Have you told other people this kind of thing?" Qian Shaobai asked.

"During these years, Daoyou Qian was the first person to discover the foundation of my cultivation, so I am naturally different from those vulgar people." Hong Shangwu's words are hard to distinguish from the truth: "The major events in the future require the help of capable people. Daoyou Qian is introverted and well-adjusted, he doesn't seem to be from a small school. If you go down the mountain to find another way, I will naturally welcome it. If you are ordered by your elders to come to test, I don't care."

Speaking of this, Qian Shaobai couldn't bear to refuse.He sensed Hong Shangwu's killing intent, and the two were very close, if Hong Shangwu violently attacked, Qian Shaobai knew it would be difficult for him to deal with it.

"Since it's a treasure house, I don't know if there are any gold, silver and jewels in it?" A village leader showed a greedy look and interrupted the voice transmission between the two.

"Since ancient times, dragons have been greedy for jewels and jade, and there are many such things in the cave." Hong Shangwu laughed.

"Since that's the case, then there's no time to delay." The village chiefs kept urging: "Bo Yuntian, the Hongzhai patriarch, won't take the gold and silver from the treasury all by himself, will he?"

The corner of Hong Shangwu's mouth twitched, if it wasn't for these people to fight for him in the future, he would not give up any rare treasures of the cave.

"It's natural." Hong Shangwu looked at Qian Shaobai: "However, the gate of this Jiaolong Cave Mansion is tightly closed, and sharp magic power is needed to pierce through the cave gate. Right now, we need the assistance of a capable swordsman."

All eyes in the hall focused on Qian Shaobai, he knew that he had nowhere to hide, so he could only get up and said, "Then please Master Hong to lead the way, and let me see how the cave door is closed."
