Domineering

Chapter 432 The Mystery of the Heavens (please subscribe for a monthly pass)
A day later, Chu Xisheng had someone clean up the ruins and broken tiles of the Chu family mansion, and built a temporary incense hall on the original school grounds.

After that, he led hundreds of new and old gang members, stood in front of the altar of the Loyalty and Longevity Emperor, burned incense and prayed, muttering words.

"To enter the Iron Banner, you need to keep 36 oaths. The first oath, your parents are my parents, your brothers and sisters are my brothers and sisters, your wife is my sister-in-law, and your son is my nephew. If you violate it, you will be punished by five thunders." off.

The second oath, if there are parents and brothers who have lived for a hundred years and have no money to bury them, if a white silk flies to them and asks for help, they will immediately inform those who have money to contribute money and those who have no money to contribute.

——The Ninth Oath, the brother who is crooked, who murders the banner owner, who assassinates the murderer, will die under ten thousand knives.

——No. 18 Swear, if you are captured by the officials, you will be responsible for yourself, and you will not use your personal enmity to harm your brother. If you violate it, you will be killed by five thunders.

——No.30 Six oaths, scholars, farmers, businessmen, each holding a skill. Once you enter the Iron Banner, you must put loyalty and loyalty first, and make friends with brothers from all over the world. Down. "

He urged the people behind him to recite the Iron Banner Gang's gang rules and 36 oaths eloquently, and only then was he satisfied with making people chop the phoenix and burn the yellow paper.

Once the rules are recited and the oath is made, we will become brothers.

Of course, Chu Xisheng didn't expect the Loyalty and Longevity Emperor to appear and punish those who broke his oath.

Chu Xisheng's source of confidence was the Yunhai Immortal Palace Dharma Protector token that was placed in front of the Loyalty and Longevity Great Emperor's throne.

This token echoes the Second Book of Commandments.

As long as everyone swears an oath in front of the token and recognizes the rules, Chu Xisheng can activate the power of the 'Second Book of Precepts' to restrain his subordinates.

Chu Xisheng had already given them a chance.

Yesterday when everyone gathered to discuss matters, Chu Xisheng repeatedly asked them if they wanted to join the Iron Banner Gang and if they would abide by the Iron Banner Gang's gang rules.

In the end, none of these people withdrew, so it was no wonder Chu Xisheng.

At this moment, Chu Xisheng turned his back on these people.

However, I could feel that when many masters of the third and fourth ranks behind took the oath, they all frowned and showed more or less resistance.

They have obviously noticed the power of the two books of "God's Ring" and "God's Law".

However, these people endured and did not make any resistance until the oath was recited.

They may not have taken the second book of precepts seriously, or they think they have a way to avoid the blood oath, or they may be worried that they will blow up their identities at this moment, and they will be surrounded and beaten to death by Chu Xisheng, and they all endured it .

Next is commissioning.

Many of the newly recruited brothers have not made any achievements, but they have taken refuge with their families, and the Iron Banner Gang had to give them high positions, but their positions are all below the helmsman, and they are all temporary positions with the prefix 'dai'.

These people have to abide by the rules of the Iron Banner gang for a whole year without any problems, or make enough meritorious deeds before they can become regulars.

Then there are those like the six Dharma protectors, who still serve as Dharma protectors.

There are empty positions, there are worship, but there is no real power.

If they want real power and control of a church, they have to help the Iron Banner Gang lay down a new territory and open a new hall, otherwise the Iron Banner Gang has nowhere to arrange.

In short, this Xiangtang meeting was completed smoothly, and nothing happened during the whole process.

At the moment of ceremony, Chu Xisheng's mind moved slightly again.

His secret rites of the heavens have advanced a lot further.

Chu Xisheng had a clear understanding in his heart.

In fact, there is no fixed method for the mysteries of the heavens to promote martial arts, the key is the process of experience and practice.

They also need to confirm and implement their own Dao heart and will in this process.

In Chu Xisheng's view.

All the martial arts and techniques in this world are idealistic, and there is no essential difference from the Solitaire Sword and the Divine Will Ruxin Sword.The difference is that they are more focused on one road, limit improvement.

That's why the essence of the mysteries of the heavens is to strengthen the heart of the Tao, so that they can be more in line with the laws of the heavens and the laws of their own practice.

The secret ritual for the disciples of the Phaseless Divine Sect to advance to the fourth rank is usually to find a place where spiritual power is mixed and chaotic, to blend and arrange it, and integrate it into one.

On his side, it was a different situation. What needed to be reconciled was people and forces, not spiritual power.

Just after this Xiangtang meeting, Chu Xisheng finally summoned his cronies from the old ministry that he could really trust, and had a secret meeting in the Chu family mansion.

"I am under the restraint of others, and there is nothing I can do."

Tie Xiaosheng was ashamed and apologetic: "I don't care about my own life. What I'm afraid of is that after these people turn their faces, they will kill the lives of the brothers below. Forced by the situation, I have to allow them to join the Iron Banner Gang."

The situation of the Iron Banner Gang was managed by Tie Kuangren and Chu Xisheng.

How strict are their gang rules?
Under normal circumstances, how could he accept so many people of unknown origin and identity into the gang?

However, he has been hiding outside for the past few months. He seems to be safe and sound, and has not been found by the enemy. In fact, he relies on the strength of those new gang members, all relying on the "shelter" of those Dharma protectors.

However, in essence, they are still held hostage by these people, unable to be independent or free.

Lu Pingyuan, head of the Internal Affairs Hall, also said helplessly: "The Laughing Mad Dragon is a casual cultivator from the Overseas Dragon Island. I had someone check his identity, and nothing unusual was found. There is indeed someone in the Overseas Dragon Island.

This person appeared three months ago. He has saved me twice in times of crisis. He has also been of great help to our Iron Banner Gang. He has helped me repel several powerful enemies in the Internal Affairs Hall and saved many brothers.But to say whether this person is reliable, I am not sure, let alone his true identity. "

He acted as the guarantor of the Laughing Mad Dragon and introduced him to the Iron Banner Gang, but he was also helpless.

Lu Pingyuan gave another wry smile at this time: "Except for Dan Xuefei whose identity is unknown and Ba Tianlai who has been famous for many years, the other four people, Wan Fengqing, Gu Mingyue, Laughing Kuanglong, and Feng Liancheng, all have their own identities and their origins are very clear. , at least I was not able to pinpoint the problem.

Wan Fengqing and Gu Mingyue are from the Hidden World Sect, Feng Liancheng is from the Kuangsha Dead Zone in the Western Regions, they are said to be famous horse thieves there, their timings of appearance also have their own advantages, and there is nothing suspicious on the surface.only--"

He paused, and looked at everyone present.

It's just that there are too many people like this, and they still appear at the same time. Any fool knows that there is a problem.

The head of Xiushui Hall, Li Shenshan, and the head of Gushi Hall, Wei Yang, both bowed their hands apologetically when they heard him talk about Feng Liancheng.

Li Shenshan's face was full of bitterness: "Feng Liancheng also appeared in Dongzhou four months ago, this person likes drinking and gambling, so he met us.

More than two months ago, I was besieged and killed in the southeast area of ​​the ancient market. This man happened to meet and saved my life.Afterwards, thanks to this person, our business in the ancient market and the East Wharf was not affected. "

"It's okay!"

Chu Xisheng looked generous, and waved his hand with a half-smile.

If it weren't for today's release, he would never have imagined that the secret rituals of the heavens that he was promoted to the fourth rank could be completed in this way.

Chu Xisheng predicted that as long as he can adjust and integrate the situation of the Iron Banner Gang into a rough idea, he can complete the promotion of "Shenyuan Wuxiang Gong".

It's just to be promoted to the fourth rank, not to hit the first rank. The mystery of the heavens is relatively simple.

Chu Xisheng even had more leeway now, plotting the mysteries of the heavens with the Tianzhu Sword and the Jaizu Sword.

The Heaven Punisher Knife is the simplest, it only needs to lock on one person and event, and destroy everything about them; the Jaizu Knife needs to complete a "Jia Zi Must Repay" once.

These two mysteries can be performed together.

In addition, Chu Xisheng also wanted to complete more secret rituals to lay the foundation for his own creation of martial arts in the future.

Chu Xisheng mixed with Chu Yunyun, Wen Zhuyi, and Lu Luanli on a daily basis, and his eyes were somewhat higher than the top.

He is by no means satisfied with Yaizu Dao and Zhu Tian Dao, and he does not want to rely only on the legacy left by people like Xue Ya Dao Jun in the future.

However, his current cultivation base is limited, his knowledge of martial arts is also extremely shallow, and he does not yet have the ability to create his own martial arts.

However, the foundation of self-created martial arts can be built in advance.

Just like Chu Yunyun, her methods of 'Extreme Heaven' and 'Tongtian' both have a foundation.

So far, no matter what Chu Yunyun wants to do, she can do most of them, so she is "extremely heavenly"; she is proficient in nearly [-]% of martial arts in the world, and she is known as "arsenal", so she is "excellent".

Chu Xisheng also had to anticipate what his fundamental method for the future would be, and then make targeted arrangements.

'Invincible'?

It can be considered that this requires him to be invincible in the world in the past and future, without opponents, until he is promoted to the god realm.

Chu Xisheng was not satisfied with this.

He still has time now, and he will plan slowly,
Thoughts flashed in Chu Xisheng's mind, but his expression remained calm: "No matter what their origins are, since they have sworn a blood oath, they are our brothers. Let's listen to what they say and watch what they do, and use it first. Feng San, tomorrow you will temporarily take over the punishment hall, and I will assign a few more experts to you. As long as these people clearly violate gang rules, they will be dealt with according to the rules."

This is not only aimed at the six Dharma protectors, but also at those aristocratic families who have joined the Iron Banner Gang, the underworld magnates, and the many fourth- and fifth-rank martial arts with unknown origins.

The Iron Banner is a gang based on the poor and small merchant ship owners, and they don't fit well with these people.

But it doesn't matter, the gang has its own rules to restrain and punish.

As long as these people are still in the Iron Banner Gang, they have to follow his rules.

Chu Xisheng then looked at the original head of the punishment hall with regret in his eyes: "Hall master Li, it's not that I can't trust you, but the current situation is complicated, and I must rely on the strength of the punishment hall. Severe punishments and strict laws are not acceptable!"

The head of the punishment hall of the Iron Banner Gang is also an old man in the era of the Iron Maniac.

But he cupped his hands readily, and said with a wry smile, "Even if the banner owner doesn't say anything, I still want to abdicate to the virtuous."

With the current situation of the Iron Banner Gang, it has long been beyond his ability.

For those newly promoted gang members, he can neither restrain nor punish them.

Kuang Jian Feng San also responded straightforwardly: "Feng San obeys!"

In his opinion, the matter is easy.

Feng San has an inexplicable self-confidence. The masters recruited by the Iron Banner Gang seem to have high cultivation and martial arts, but none of them are enough for him.

"I just can't understand, what are these people planning?"

Tie Xiaosheng looked very puzzled: "If they want to use the Iron Banner Gang to plot against Xi Sheng, or to ambush him, then they should do it yesterday. If these people want to hold us hostage, deal with Xi Sheng, there is no need to use such a troublesome method. It really confuses me."

"The obvious reasons are all admiration for the prestige of Lord Wuji Saber, and wanting to enjoy the shade under the tree."

'Eight-armed Vajra Sword' Bu Yancheng crossed his arms and sneered: "As for what they are thinking, who knows? In short, we should take strict precautions."

Chu Xisheng put his hands behind his back, with a calm expression: "I was ambushed yesterday when I came from the Ice City in the Far East. During this battle, my uncle Li Changsheng and Yijian Qingcheng Wenzhuyi used secret methods to cross tens of thousands of miles of void Rushing to the battlefield and jointly beheading the first-rank three people and the 13 people on the ground list, the news will spread all over the world in a short time."

When everyone in the house heard the words, they couldn't help buzzing.

Everyone was looking at each other in blank dismay, with shock and surprise in their eyes, but also excitement and joy, and a hint of relief.

It's not that these people don't want to do it, but they don't dare!

"It's not entirely true that they all came here for my life. Some of them have other plans."

While talking, Chu Xisheng opened the martial arts treasury, and used the many advanced talent cards he had saved for these trusted subordinates.

Although these people in front of them have a lower level of cultivation, they are all old people who have followed him before his rise, so don't worry.

Lord Xue Yadao's [-]% off talent card has already been used by him on Zhou Liangchen.

But for the rest of Qin Muge's [-]% off talent card, Lu Luanli's [-]% off talent card, [-]% off money talent card, [-]% off Su Feng knife talent card, [-]% off Li Changsheng talent card, etc., Chu Xisheng saved a dozen of them, at this time Give these cronies and subordinates to use.

These talents are his basic base, the higher their skills, the stronger their combat power, and the more stable the foundation of the Iron Banner Gang.

Only one Shenao Sanren [-]% off talent card is useless.

Chu Xisheng didn't want to use this card with powerful magician talent on this group of martial artists.But so far, he has not found a suitable partner.

"Actually, it doesn't matter what their purpose is. Our own strength is the foundation. As long as we have enough strength, we can suppress all ghosts."

Chu Xisheng then looked at Tie Xiaosheng: "How are the gang members below?"

Tie Xiaosheng's expression turned serious immediately: "In the past year, the Iron Banner Gang has expanded enormously. Now there are only 1307 formal gang members, and [-] million peripheral gang members. The coolies along the Shenxiu River in Dongzhou, Boatmen, hunters, miners, and fishermen have basically joined my Iron Banner Gang."

There is a strange light in his eyes: "As long as the banner master gives an order, we can immediately mobilize 12 hunters with excellent archery skills, as well as [-] warships, [-] naval troops, and [-] land troops." .”

Compared with the time when the Iron Banner Gang raised troops to sweep Xiushui and Xunyang County in the past, this military strength does not seem to have increased much.

In fact, the improvement is huge.

At this time, no matter the quality of warships, the quality of soldiers, or the popularity of armored weapons, they cannot be compared with what they were a year and a half ago.

Today's Iron Banner Gang can already produce soldiers and horses of the ninth rank and above, instead of taking those young and strong men whose cultivation base has not entered the rank more than a year ago.

Chu Xisheng nodded slightly: "How is the morale of the army?"

"It can be regarded as the surrender of all hearts!"

The person who answered was Lu Pingyuan, the head of the internal affairs hall. He raised his hand and said with a smile: "Whether it's a hard worker or a boatman, as long as I have the Iron Banner Gang to make decisions for them, their income will increase greatly, and they can take a little rest every month. There is nothing wrong with it." Unsatisfactory.

But the ones who can really handle things are those old brothers from the past, and others.In the past year and a half, we have also focused on working hard on them, and basically all of them have a ninth-rank cultivation base.only--"

Lu Pingyuan paused: "We really don't have enough land to support so many people."

Those brothers at the bottom can't actually spend too much money.

The key is their high-level martial arts.

Their Iron Banner Gang now only has eight members of the third rank, 17 members of the fourth rank, and even more of the fifth rank, with a total of more than [-] members.

The salaries of these people alone account for [-]% of the current expenditure of the Iron Banner Gang.

When Xiangtang was appointed in the morning, Chu Xisheng used the excuse of the difficult situation to temporarily halve all the salaries for the guest ministers.

Lu Pingyuan didn't expect these people to accept it.

But even so, this is still a huge expense, which makes the Iron Banner Gang overwhelmed.

"If you don't have enough territory, grab it! First take the entire eight counties of Dongzhou, and the counties of Feizhou in the west. If you can grab it, you can grab it. We have so many people, we have to do things.

There are also those newly opened sub-rudder halls, which were powerless and helpless before.Now that I'm back, the rules that should be established must be established, so that they can make up all the money within one month. "

Chu Xisheng sneered: "Since you have played the banner of my Iron Banner Gang, you should do your best for the gang."

Now that they joined the Iron Banner Gang and swore a blood oath, these people can't let themselves be presumptuous.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Chu Xisheng's return gave them all a boost of confidence and a backbone.

'Eight-armed Vajra Sword' Buyancheng was gearing up even more, with excited eyes, thinking that he should follow the banner owner happily.

This is exactly what he wants.

Next, there will be a bloodbath in the entire Dongzhou and Feizhou areas!
The many fellow disciples he recruited also have their uses.

"In short, try to open up financial resources as much as possible. If it is not enough, I will find a way."

Having said this, Chu Xisheng looked at Li Manshan, the 'corpse dog' again: "Old Li, do you have anything to tell me? What is the corpse mountain sect's plan?"

Li Manshan bowed his hands solemnly: "Banner Master, there is no reason for Taishan County. My sect wants to do something there, and it needs to be used under the banner of the Iron Banner Gang. Actually, I don't know the details. The corpses of the four ancient ancestors are related, but I don’t know which one it is.”

"Ancestral corpse?"

Chu Xisheng couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

The corpses of the four great ancestors——Yinggou, Houqing, Hanba, and generals—what is the intention of Shishanzong?
Li Manshan saw that Chu Xisheng was frowning, and hurriedly explained: "Banner Master, although my corpse mountain sect is not a famous family, it is also well-known, and I will never do anything that hurts nature. I can guarantee that this sect is in Taishan County. If you do what you do, you will never hurt innocent people, and besides, our sect has another important gift."

When he was speaking, he carefully took out a scarlet wooden box and a bottle from his sleeve, and placed them in front of Chu Xisheng.

Chu Xisheng raised his hand and took two things in his hand.

He only focused on sensing for a moment, then opened his eyes slightly, and looked at Li Manshan with a suspicious expression: "Is this the blood of the ancestral corpse?"

"Inside the box is the second-grade Corpse God Pill, which can enhance the spiritual intelligence of the evil corpses, strengthen their soul and blood power. As for this jade bottle, it is the blood of the general!"

Li Manshan smiled: "In the past, the generals died, and my family was lucky enough to get a hundred drops of its blood. The generals belong to water, and they are the corpse ancestors of the water system. The Corpse God Pill and these three drops of the generals' blood are enough to make He Luo, the banner owner Yu, you will be promoted to the fourth rank within a month. The banner master can rest assured that this blood has been refined by our Corpse Mountain Sect for [-] years, and the residual consciousness of the general has been refined."

"This gift is really expensive and very generous."

Chu Xisheng gave a 'chi' smile, with a disdainful look on his face: "However, I did not raise that He Luo fish for your Corpse Mountain Sect? I paid for it and worked hard for it."

He sighed, and threw the wooden box and pill bottle in his hand out of the window.

"Forget it, for Man Shan's sake, I will take care of this matter, and hope that the Corpse Mountain Sect can keep their word."

Chu Xisheng was worried, thinking that Lu Pingyuan had to send someone to watch over this matter.

In case of any accident, he can respond in time.

Outside this house is a large artificial lake, which is connected with the canal outside.

Just as Chu Xisheng threw out the wooden box of the pill bottle, several huge tentacles rushed out of the water in an instant, grabbed the vermilion wooden box and the bottle of pill impatiently, and dragged them into the water.

I haven't seen him for a year, and this He Luo Yusha corpse has actually been promoted to the fourth rank.

The main reason is that Tie Xiaosheng feeds well.

All kinds of natural materials and earthly treasures, as well as the essence and blood of various water-type monsters, were thrown on this He Luoyu without any money.

The He Luo Yusha Corpse is not like their human beings, who need secret medicine and rituals to be promoted, and the corpse spirit and demon power are advancing by leaps and bounds.

But its cultivation base is actually quite watery,
Compared with a year ago, the improvement in combat power is extremely limited.

In the past, this Heluo fish could compete with the martial arts of the fourth rank in the water, but now it is still the fourth rank.

However, this general minister's blood essence and corpse god pill are worth looking forward to.

These things can not only improve the realm level of the corpse, but also stimulate its bloodline ability.

Chu Xisheng then took out two pill bottles and threw them out of the window as well.

These two pill bottles were obtained from Yunhai Xiangong.

One of them is the blood essence of the ancient mythical beast 'Guhuo Bird'.

'Gu Huo Niao' has ten heads and a body. It is the daughter of a heavenly emperor in ancient times and the source of He Luoyu.

Inside the other pill bottle is a second-grade 'Zhenyuan Pill', which can help people subdue the qi, blood and essence in the body.

This He Luoyu used the blood essence of 'Guhuo Bird' and the blood essence of 'General' at the same time, so it had to blew itself to death.

However, with the addition of this 'Zhenyuan Pill', it can prevent it from exploding within twelve hours.

Chu Xisheng was looking forward to it.

Whether it is a human or a giant spirit, the more violently turbulent and extreme the blood vessels are, the easier it is to awaken powerful abilities.

I don't know what kind of ability this He Luo Yusha corpse will awaken in the end?
Just as He Luoyu grabbed the fetishes and hid in the water with great joy, Chu Xisheng looked at Lu Jiuli, the master of Tieshan Hall, among them.

His eyes were solemn: "Uncle Lu, please tell me about the situation of Mi's Castle in detail."

This is his top priority when going south this time!
At this time, Lu Jiuli's expression was also concentrated, and he cupped his hands: "This matter should have started half a year ago——"
