Chapter 448 The leader of Xuanmen City?
The second month after Lin Dong disappeared, Tang Wang Zhu Yujian came to power and replaced Chongzhen as the new king of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yujian's nickname is Zhu Changshou.

He is the eighth grandson of Tang Wang Zhu Kuang, the twenty-third son of Zhu Yuanzhang (same generation as Ming Shenzong).

His grandfather was Zhu Shuoji, King Duan of Tang Dynasty, his father was Zhu Qiqi, the son of King Tang, and his mother was Empress Xuan Mao.

After Emperor Chongzhen died in the Ancestral Temple, Sun Chengzong obtained a posthumous edict from nowhere and coerced the officials to elect him as the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past two months, major events have occurred one after another, making the defeat of Jizhen no longer impressive.

The first was that the imperial court announced that Yuan Chonghuan was treasonous and had correspondence with Huang Taiji, so he was executed late.

Secondly, the Eighteenth Route Army rebelled against the king and rebelled, and the Ming Dynasty fell into a precarious situation. Among them, the three major rebels, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Gao Yingxiang, were the most powerful.

Among the three major rebels, Li Zicheng was the most ferocious and surrounded Kaifeng.

Zhao led Jiao and Jiu Sha Tongzi to station at Jiubian to resist Dorgon's army, which was about to make a comeback.

Once Li Zicheng breaks the city, the consequences will be disastrous and he will directly threaten the capital. If it succeeds, another Huang Taiji will enter the pass.

The 100,000-strong army was beaten by Yuan Chonghuan who arrived at that time, and more than half of it was broken and sank in the sand. Unfortunately, the Battle of Jimen, which was supposed to be a great victory, ended in failure.

As soon as Lin Dong retreated, the Demon God invaded.

Later, Li Ruolian had to set fire to the bitten soldiers in order to prevent Hou Qing from making the matter bigger.

Duduo, who had a chance to compete with Dorgon, has not yet grown in power.

Yuan Chonghuan's roar before his death almost spread throughout the ruins of the capital.

But such an important city was surrounded and suppressed from three sides and was under siege for almost fifty days.

Or maybe he is the devil himself.

Kaifeng, also known as Bianliang, was the former capital of the Song Dynasty. It was the thoroughfare of eight provinces in the Ming Dynasty and had a population of one million.

Of course, the Jin Kingdom's losses were not small on the front line from Gubeikou to Jiubianji Town.

Even though Nine Kills Boy had restrained the Demon God Houqing at that time, he still couldn't spare the manpower to find and transport the glutinous rice.

As soon as Lin Dong disappeared, the other demon gods naturally started to cause trouble.

Although the soldiers and horses under the leadership of Sun Chengzong were pushed back later, the damage caused was immeasurable.

Although Li Ruolian found the medicinal materials, Ghost Hand Li's movements were still a beat slow. Two days before the antidote was prepared, with the death of Ying Gou, various plagues broke out ahead, and in the end only some people were saved.

From the soldiers to the people, there were only three thousand left.

You know, during this period, the Ming court actually did something wrong - Sun Chengzong killed Yuan Chonghuan with tears. The Ming Dynasty's fire dragon was said to have ushered in a new life, but an almost human-like top-notch combat power was sent into the furnace.

And Guishou Li fell into a coma because of overwork.

The supreme commander Huang Taiji died in battle, killed by Dianxian Ma Zhenyi's Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

"I can not be reconciled!!!"

The undead legion carefully arranged by Li Ruolian went back and forth between Zhao Zhijiao, rising and falling, to help them fight against internal and external pressures.

The pressure on the other demon-suppressing envoys suddenly increased and they did not collapse, which was considered a good result.

The so-called plan that was once formulated was not stranded, but completely dead.

Throughout the entire battle of Jizhen, a total of 20,000 soldiers and civilians were invested, but in the end only less than 3,000 people survived.

As for the outcome of the Battle of Ji Town, it was not much better. One-third of the people in the city were saved, and the rest died of the plague, while those soldiers who were bitten by zombies were all burned to death.

In such an atmosphere of grief and indignation that devastated the whole country, who knew that Zhu Yujian actually issued two orders.

Zhengyi Sect, the leader of the southern Taoist sect, Zhang Yunlu did not close the mountain again, but chose to join the world to break the situation.

And Gao Qiqian naturally had noble people to help him. Otherwise, how could he withstand the terrifying demon god with the strength of his innate peak, which is just at the gate of martial arts becoming a saint.

The biggest disaster in this war was that the iron hoof struck the capital, and the Jin people entered it seriously.

Li Ruolian cried for more than half an hour. Although Ying Gou died and the toxicity of the plague became weaker, it did not disappear.

Now, there is almost no food in the city.

Not only the Longmen Dharma Lineage, but also the entire Quanzhen Taoist Sect was regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the Jin people.

Being able to achieve such results is naturally because the three major rebels all have the help of the devil.

This person provoked Lin Dong to fight against the Demon God after he left.

The second reason is that Chongzhen died in this battle.

Li Zicheng fought with the Ming Dynasty warrior Gao Qiqian in Kaifeng City.

The second-ranking leader of the Jin Kingdom, Dorgon, was also defeated.

One is to change the year to Longwu. From now on, he can also be called - Emperor Longwu.

In the Kingdom of Jin, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji died successively, which gave Dorgon a chance.

For example, Zhang Xianzhong was born into this world as Huanghu Tiansha·Seven Kills Demon King.

Judging from the results, Ming Dynasty suffered greater losses.

Therefore, Dorgon spent almost no effort and became the supreme commander of the Jin Kingdom during the war... As long as he enters Beijing again, he will be the legitimate ruler.

The second is to move the capital. After all, Shuntian Mansion has been destroyed. There seems to be no better place besides Yingtian Mansion. You can't move to Chang'an, right?

The Ming Dynasty did not manage the Western Regions and moved to Chang'an. On the contrary, it was not as comfortable as going to Yingtian Mansion.

Our ancestors also started from Yingtian Mansion, so normally, these proposals can be passed.

The problem is that……

Now is the time for a national war, and all the rebel kings are about to attack the city?
Talking about moving the capital at this time will inevitably make people's minds wander.

In the end, the court officials represented by Sun Chengzong rejected Emperor Longwu's request.

Of course, Emperor Longwu was not angry. Instead, he conferred the title of Grand Tutor on Sun Chengzong, and was promoted to the title of Governor of the Three Borders, Additional Superintendent of Divisions, and Minister of War.

In a situation where all industries are depressed and everyone is feeling the crisis.

On this day, a young Taoist boy, about twelve or thirteen years old, came to a crowded inn.

The little Taoist boy was carrying a black mace on his back and a bag wrapped in black cloth in his hand. He stood at the door of the inn and looked around, and his eyes fell on the boy who was welcoming the guests.

"Hey, is this Taoist Fang?"

The boy actually recognized him.

"How come it's only been two days since I harvested something again?"

The boy said with a smile.

"Uh-huh."

The little Taoist priest nodded cautiously.

"follow me."

The boy waved to Fang Yuanjue and went to lead the way.

All kinds of malicious eyes fell on the mace behind the little Taoist boy. Fang Yuan felt that he was not afraid even with his little head raised.

When Lin Dong rushed to help Zhao Lijiao, he did not bring Fang Yuanjue with him. After he and the Taoist boy buried Ma Zhenyi, he gave the magic whip that Ma Zhenyi had given him to the Taoist priest. After all, it was This is a great treasure of my family.

In addition, two guardian gods, Guo Fengxiao and Guo Fengzhong, were arranged to take care of them secretly.

In addition, the little Taoist boy was not without any magic power. Dianxian brought him around and taught him a lot, so Lin Dong left with peace of mind.

During the period of following Ma Zhenyi, apart from anything else, Fangyuan felt that the little Taoist priest was more than a foot taller.

You know, Fangyuanjue is a spiritual body.

When you die, your body shape is fixed. Being able to change this kind of spiritual body is actually an attainment close to Taoism.

During these days, Fangyuanjue, in addition to comprehending Taoist magic and the Red Sky talisman left by Ma Zhenyi, was hunting some mountain spirits and wild monsters that caused trouble to the world in troubled times.

The calamity is getting worse and worse, and it’s not just the demon-headed god who is in trouble.

Some mountain spirits and wild monsters also showed their ambitions in the troubled times. The Great Ming Fire Dragon that Sun Chengzong originally mentioned was not completed. Instead, a new fire dragon was born, but the new fire dragon's dragon energy was weak and could no longer suppress the world.

It is precisely because of the derivation of spirits and the example set by Ma Zhenyi.

Finally, Quanzhen Master Zhang Yunlu, the great master who introduced the Ten Rules of Taoism, promulgated new rules.

Zhang Yunlu asked Zheng Taoist priests to go down the mountain to help kill the demon.

Once you complete your merits, you can exchange them for spiritual herbs, talismans, secret books, and even first-class palm thunder spells at this type of demon-subduing inn.

"Come and see what it is..."

In the inner courtyard of the inn, a Taoist wearing red robes lifted up the black cloth.

The sticky blood showed out, and it turned out to be a huge snake demon head.

"A hundred-year-old Taoist snake demon is worth fifty merits. What do you want?"

the Taoist asked.

"Well... I want to get some news."

"what news?"

The red-clothed Taoist frowned slightly. Fifty merit points was not a small amount, and he could even get a good copy of the Zhengyi Sect's Secret Technique.

"That's right, it's about the Blood Sun Grass."

Fangyuanjue's voice was as thin as a mosquito or fly.

"I see."

The red-robed Taoist sighed in his heart.

Blood Sun Grass has an extremely stinky smell and has no special uses except for two special points.

First, this smell is like the fragrance of Laneige in the snake demon's olfactory system.

On the other hand, it is because the juice of the Blood Sun Grass can be squeezed out to blend with the glutinous rice and become blood glutinous rice, which can induce the corpse poison in the human body.

Nowadays, it can be regarded as the most scarce material.

Ghost Hand Li made a prescription to restrain Hou Qing's magic, and now it has been spread all over the world.

Although Nine Kills Boy was able to fight back and forth with Hou Qing to maintain a stalemate, he was powerless against the spreading corpse poison, especially the phenomenon of human bites. How could he completely control death.

Because of this, some monks and Taoists went to the border troops to help out.

"Are you going to join the army at such a young age?"

The Taoist in red frowned slightly.

"As it should be."

Fangyuanjue raised his hands and made a bow.

"You... are not valuable news. That's fine. I'll count the fifteen merits with you, and you can choose some spells for the rest, okay?"

Taoist Chi Yi hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Speaking of which, his behavior can be considered a violation of the commandments.

Although the Zhengyi Sect has Taoist disciples coming down the mountain, since they have opened such a demon-killing inn, to put it bluntly, it is also a way to harvest resources.

It is only up to them to determine the amount of good deeds.

As for Taoism, strictly speaking, it can be divided into five categories according to Taoism.

The first is Xuanzhen, who steals the energy of heaven and earth. He is even rarer than the Shushan Sword Immortal, so I won’t mention it much.

The second is the alchemy cauldron. Quanzhen cultivates a golden elixir, which is similar to the alchemy cauldron.

The third is Tai Chi, the fourth is Sword Immortal, and the fifth is Talisman.

In today's world, talismans are the most important, and they are represented by Zhengyi.

There are also descendants from other hidden Taoist sects coming down the mountain, but they are hidden among the sea of ​​thousands of people.

Zhengyi Sect's custom-made merit records not only collect materials from monsters, but also plan the skills of other sects.

For example, to refine magic weapons, you often have to use materials from monsters.

As for the materials on the monster, you can naturally choose to exchange them for good deeds.

But if your good deeds are not enough, shouldn't you learn something inherited from your master?

Chiyi Taoist had a kind heart, and Fang Yuanjue naturally understood the other party's good intentions. However, he immediately smiled and shook his head and refused: "My sect's inherited spells are endless, how can I have the mind to delve into other things..."

"Then it would be good for you to change a few more talismans to defend yourself."

Taoist Chi Yi wanted to say something more.

cough cough.

A sudden voice sounded among the two of them.

"Who?"

The Taoist priest in red suddenly turned his head and saw a man in his early forties wearing a Qingshui weiluo double-breasted coat with strong features and a white jade belt around his waist appearing in the courtyard.

"You, you are, are..."

The Taoist in red clothes was stunned at first and watched for a moment. He still couldn't believe it and even rubbed his eyes again.

"Go down."

The man said with a gentle voice.

"Palm, Headmaster?"

Chi Yidao bowed quickly, his mouth slightly flustered.

"I know you, okay, Luo boy, go ahead."

The Taoist in Qingyi said calmly.

The red-clothed Taoist looked at the serious-faced Southern Taoist leader in front of him and subconsciously bowed to leave.

In the entire southern Taoist sect, apart from Zhang Yunlu, there is naturally no one else who can be so revered.

It was he who proposed the Ten Precepts of the Taoist Sect, proposed to establish the "Three Sects and Thirty-six Taoist Temples", and unified Ziwei, Lingyang, and Xujing, so that the entire south would be honored by the dragon and tiger.

"Are you looking for me?"

Fangyuanjue's face was equally serious. The little child had a straight face and a cold attitude, but he was quite cute.

Zhang Yunlu blinked, pondered for a moment and said: "It is said that Dianxian and I are of the same generation. It is not an exaggeration for you to call me master when you see me. If I remember correctly, you are from the Yuan generation."

There was a pause in his voice, and Zhang Yunlu said to himself, "As a talisman of the Red Sky, it seems that Dianxian gave you the Taoist lineage. If you... If you are the leader of Quanzhen and talk to me, it's okay not to be polite. It's just that , Taoist priest Xiaofang, you need to know... hitting the magic whip will only bring you all kinds of disasters. Generally, demons comparable to Tongyou cannot subjugate you, but if it is a big demon comparable to Dongxuan, or even the more terrifying Tian Where’s the demon?”

"Putting such an important treasure like the Divine Whip on your body is like a child carrying gold to walk through the busy city. The old Taoist also knows that you have two Yin God Dharma Protectors who have cultivated the power of fire... But even the demons who have withstood two heavenly catastrophes cannot I can deal with them easily, not to mention that there are still demons and gods in this world."

"Old Taoist Priest, what do you want to say?"

Fangyuanjue had a straight face and an unkind tone.

To be honest, Zhang Yunlu is a Taoist who has placed his trust in Dharmakaya since the Hongwu Year.

At that time, he also talked with Xuan Xuanzi.

Of course, Zhang Yunlu is now considered a second generation, and it is reasonable for Fang Yuanjue to call him an expert.

"Master Xiaofang, are you willing to come to me and hold the sword for three years? During these three years, the old Taoist will teach you carefully. Your current lotus body, the old Taoist can also make up for you. As for the magic whip, I can count it as a loan from the old Taoist." I have been gone for three years. Three years later, the original thing will be returned to you. What do you think? Now it is the end of the world, and the old Taoist wants to hold this whip and breathe a sigh of relief for the people of the world."

Zhang Yunluo is talking about justice.

however……

Fangyuanjue took a step back subconsciously. As a mountain spirit, he had a clear mind and could tell the clues of people's hearts with a simple glance.

This great Taoist priest of Taoism is not as pure-minded as he said.
