Two Realms: I use martial arts to ask for longevity

Chapter 471: Strange + Conspiracy
Gu Mingxiao and Fang Chengdong were secretly regretting that they could not take over Guangyun County's 100,000-strong army.

Although the situation in Yunzhou is very good now, the Pei family does not seem to have any ambitions. Even the general Xiao Yuanfang sent by the court is well versed in human relations and does not bully others.

Under such circumstances, as the government becomes increasingly corrupt, the governors gradually become independent in both military and political affairs, and the scene of many heroes vying for supremacy a thousand years ago will soon be repeated.

This time, the Yunshui Sect took the initiative, but it also has a chance to strive for the highest position.

By then, the benefits that can be obtained will be countless steps further than a thousand years ago...

Perhaps now, the ancestors in the Yunshui Sect's blessed land have not yet reached a consensus, but as long as they can advance fast enough and let people see hope, they will naturally not hesitate to use all their strength and give it a try.

The four immortal sects, three Buddhist sects, and twelve aristocratic families in the world must always be ranked higher or lower.

After a thousand years of changes, who wouldn't want to go a step further and make the sect flourish?
In this way, disciples can also obtain more resources, accelerate their practice, and make further progress in their lifetime?
"If you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door. Now the gate to the cave is controlled by the East Wasteland City Lord Huang... The one who is close to the water tower gets the moon first. Junior Brother Fang, you and Junior Brother Zhang and others are destined not to give up the dominant position."

Gu Mingxiao's eagle eyes were shining, as if he could see through the world.

“In my opinion, Guangyun’s junior is cautious and has great potential.

The most important thing is that this person has extraordinary aspirations and lofty ambitions, and is definitely not someone who is willing to be inferior to others.

If you want him to lead a hundred thousand elite troops to assist Zhang Zhongshu, forget it."

Having said that, he sighed again.

"If we only talk about talent, or who can lead the Yunshui Sect's troops further, I'm not trying to pour cold water on you, but I actually think that Zhou Ping'an is more suitable than Zhang Zhongshu."

"Who said it wasn't?" Fang Chengdong's eyes showed a hint of coldness, and his tone was vague: "It's not surprising that there are many good people among the grass.

Is he a talent? It does not matter whether his bloodline is noble or not. All living things are born with a good or bad character. It all depends on fate.

But then again, talented people may emerge from poor families, but in this world, how can they ever succeed?

My master is the most protective of his people. He has not even heard of Senior Brother Taiyan’s death yet… If he knew that his most trusted third disciple had died at the beginning of his great cause, I wonder how furious he would be. "

Fang Chengdong was talking about his master, the Lord of Donghuang Huang City, but in his heart he was thinking of his master's daughter... a senior sister who had a bad temper, was fat, and acted extremely rudely.

She and her third senior brother had been together for nearly a hundred years. If she learned of the other's death, she would be furious.

I just hope that, considering that I have been working so hard during this period and that even if I have not made any contributions, I have worked hard, you will not take your anger out on others.

"Haha, your senior sister..."

Gu Mingxiao obviously thought of this and couldn't help laughing: "Zhang Zhongshu is not her blood descendant. Even if she loves him and regards him as her great-grandson, she won't get too close to him. Let's wait and see and deal with it first...

If it really doesn't work, Guangyun can still do me a favor, and when Zhou Ping'an is at his wit's end, he can help."

“No, Senior Brother Gu, you have the support of the Sanyuan Patriarch, who is at the peak of the late Shenwu stage, so you don’t have to worry too much. But I dare not go beyond the line.

My master is a man who will not tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes. As his disciples, we can only follow the strategies he sets. Even if we raise a few opinions, it would be considered as disobedience. "

Thinking of his master's methods, Fang Chengdong's eyes turned slightly cold and his back felt chilled.

As the three spiritual tides approach.

The first batch of reinforcements from Yunshui Sect, which is the cultivators from Donghuang City, will enter this world in large numbers. By then, Master may also be in charge of Yunzhou in person. Now, if anything goes wrong, it will bring about thunder and rainstorms, so we must not take it lightly.

"It's so boring..."

Gu Mingxiao shook his head: "There are opportunities and talents, but they don't know how to cherish them. In my opinion, it is not surprising that the Yunshui Sect will decline, let alone flourish."

"Senior Brother Gu, be careful with your words."

Fang Chengdong said unhappily: "After all, he is just a new disciple with some talent. Is it necessary to involve the rise and fall of the sect?

I have received news that the Brahma Temple has sent out a large army to join forces with Jiangzhou Tang to suppress Guangyun, and both sides have also sent out Dongtian elders... After tonight, we may hear news of Zhou Ping'an's defeat."

He finished speaking.

A figure came rushing towards us from the foot of the mountain like an arrow.

"Report..."

The two turned around and recognized the person coming. It was Han Fei, an inner sect disciple of Chongyang Peak of Yunshui Sect. This person was considered as Zhang Zhongshu's trusted junior fellow apprentice, and was quite proficient in some strange and tricky skills, for example, he was very good at taming birds and wild beasts.

In particular, the small birds he trained, such as cardinals and gray pigeons, were very intelligent, could fly high and fast, and were extremely reliable in delivering letters.

Now, he controls the communications between the Yunshui Sect and the mountain gate, and even the spies from all sides.

"Disciple greets the two masters."

Han Fei ran up quickly, as fast as a galloping horse. After he stopped, his face was not red, he was not out of breath, his body was full of restrained energy, and his eyes were bright. It was obvious that he had reached the eighth level of ordinary training and was expected to step into the ninth level and realize the meaning of martial arts.

It's a good seedling.

"Has the news about the battle in Guangyun City come out? Did Zhou Ping'an, Lin Huaiyu and the others manage to escape? What about Yu Changsheng? Did he not participate in the battle? It would be a pity if he was killed."

Gu Mingxiao had a pair of divine eyes that could see everyone's talents. He was obsessed with several extremely powerful Yunshui disciples of Zhou Ping'an's forces. At this time, he asked with concern, his voice a little anxious.

"They didn't suffer any casualties..."

Han Fei's expression became a little strange, and his tone was hesitant. Seeing that the two masters looked a little impatient, he did not dare to keep them in suspense, and said quickly: "Uncle Yu did not go to the battle this time, he must still be in the sect.

However, Junior Brother Zhou and Junior Sister Lin did go into battle. Not only did they not lose, but they won a great victory and fought all the way to Zhaoshan City..."

"what?"

"impossible……"

Gu Mingxiao’s eyes widened.

Fang Chengdong suddenly turned his head and looked at Han Fei, almost twisting his neck.

"Victory? Give me more details. Did Bai He also join the battle? If it was him, it's not impossible..."

"Yes, Tang Shihong, who was at the Zhenwu Dharma Realm of the Tang family, used the Yin-Yang Reversal Wenxin to suppress the dragon, but was swallowed by the Black Water Mystic Snake of Baihe Zhenren, which destroyed the mountains and rivers in his painting, and then beheaded him with a sword, killing him on the spot."

"And the Buddhist disciple Li Yuangang from the Brahma Temple led a thousand Fuhu Buddha Cavalry into battle, with the Azure Lotus Banner on their backs, and the Cave Heaven Elder Xuanshan led the troops to raid the battlefield. However, he was unexpectedly attacked head-on by Zhou Pingan... Junior Brother, and was badly defeated."

"Li Yuangang took three blows, and even the Blue Lotus Banner could not stop Zhou Ping'an's unparalleled divine power. He vomited several liters of blood on the spot, and fled in panic, leaving behind a thousand Buddhist riders...

The old monk Xuanshan used the Muni Pearl to attack Zhou Pingan, causing sparks to fly from his head. He also lost one of his arms and had no choice but to retreat to Zhaoshan..."

Han Fei spoke intermittently, as if he was speaking from heaven.

Gu Mingxiao and Fang Chengdong were stunned when they heard this.

The world is so small that the powerful Zhenwu realm masters active in various sects are not unknown people.

Tang Shihong has many students all over the world, and he is dedicated to cultivating the younger generation. Of course, they have heard about his profound knowledge and ingenious methods.

His reputation is much better than those of the two middle-stage Zhenwu warriors.

As for the Brahma Temple Cave Heaven Elder Xuanshan Bald Donkey, they even had dealings with each other in the Cave Heaven. At that time, the two sides had fought over a sword book.

The old monk was a ruthless man who didn't talk much. When he made a move, a thousand-foot-long ray of light appeared. A bead gathered boundless fragrance. When it fell, it was as powerful as a mountain collapsing. It was really hard to defend against or stop.

Without the best magic weapons and swords, facing the old monk's sneak attack, he would not even know how he died.

However, Zhou Ping'an was able to block the attack of Monk Xuanshan while fighting against the troops led by Brahma Buddha.

How on earth did he do it?
They had heard that Baihe was very strong, so strong that it was against common sense.

However, Zhou Ping'an's strength is somewhat unbelievable...

After hearing Han Fei's account of the subsequent battle in Zhaoshan City, they fell silent.

"With the whole city's credibility and the strength to withstand the blow of the Muni Pearl, he was determined to kill Li Yuangang and calmly retreat out of the city. Good fellow, this junior..."

Gu Mingxiao's voice changed slightly without him realizing it.

He put himself in the shoes of the other party and found that it was impossible to enter the opponent's home court or faith field and withstand the attack of the Buddhist treasure.

When on the battlefield, I'm afraid I can't even get past Li Yuangang.

That being said, if we besiege Zhaoshan County, capture the surrounding eleven counties, and then gather troops to attack this city, wouldn’t we be able to capture Zhaoshan County as well?

Of the six counties in Jiangzhou, if Guangyun and Zhaoshan were taken, 30% of the territory would be occupied, with a population of two to three million.

This luck, tsk tsk...

Chapter 516: Plot

Gu Mingxiao and Fang Chengdong concealed their shock, looked at each other, and thought of the same thing.

Strength comes together to form destiny; sand piles build a tower.

This world is unique, and the living creatures are extremely spiritual, or in other words, they have great potential.

After Zhou Ping'an obtained the two counties, if he could digest this foundation and wait for the spiritual energy to be abundant, he could even cultivate a large number of Zhenwu realm cultivators.

Even if it was a master who had already broken through the Zhenwu realm, with the support of the luck of the two counties, he could practice very quickly, even faster than the two of them in Yunzhou.

Although they kept comforting themselves that Yunzhou's fate would eventually return to Yunshui.

But it has not become a reality after all.

Not to mention that most of Yunzhou's fortune nowadays still lies with the imperial court, and the Pei family has a share of the profits. Even if the overall situation is decided in the future, the Yunshui Sect will still have to face the result of sharing the profits with the Pei family, and will never be able to eat alone.

What's more, although there are serious factional struggles in the court nowadays, Yunzhou has not yet truly established itself, and the bulk of its fortune is still in Dayu. In addition, the Red Lotus bandit army is attacking various cities, waving the banner of rebellion and plundering fortune.

There are actually not many territories that can be truly controlled by the Yunshui Sect.

The people's hearts have not yet won over.

All in all, being able to gain the territory and people of a county is already considered very good.

Comparing them, I found that my side was more than half as bad as Zhou Ping'an's. This was really outrageous.

Gu Mingxiao was stunned for a long while before he sighed, "Hey, this kid, no matter what his future prospects are, at least he is making a lot of money now."

"Humph, the more you laugh, the worse you will lose later. The Brahma Temple is not a piece of clay. After suffering such a huge loss, how could they not ask for help?
Those bald donkeys are different from our Yunshui Sect. They seem to be cultivating Buddhism and cultivating their minds, but they are very irritable and don’t care too much about the overall situation. This has stirred up a hornet’s nest.”

Fang Chengdong's tone was sour, "Without the support of the sect's Dongtian elders, how can he go further?

Not to mention the Brahma Temple, Jiangzhou Tang is no pushover either. When the inspiration comes, a master of the Divine Martial Realm will appear, and all Zhou Ping'an has gained now will be in vain."

"That being said, isn't this the Divine Martial Realm that cannot be released yet? Taking advantage of the current rare blank period, as long as we can block one or two more waves of attacks and hold out until all the ancestors of the Yunshui Sect gather in this world, the situation may change..."

"It's easier said than done. If we could really withstand the counterattack of Brahma Temple and the Tang family, the situation would not have been like this a thousand years ago."

Fang Chengdong forced himself to suppress the strange emotions in his heart, waved his sleeves, and walked down the mountain.

Pro-Yuan Xian fish, as retreat webs.

He felt that it was necessary to urge Zhang Zhongshu...

This true disciple doesn't have much ability, but he is very good at commanding others.

He made big promises every day, but he didn't even completely take over a branch of the Red Lotus Army...

The war situation in Huangze County was tense. The two sides had been fighting for half a month. I wonder how he fought this war?

Have a look.

Compared with Zhou Ping'an, it's like comparing people will make you die, and comparing goods will make you throw them away.

It's a waste of our full support.

Although Fang Chengdong wanted to change to a more reliable disciple, he was worried that it would be bad if his master got angry with him and punished him.

Senior Brother Tai Yan is now dead, and no one knows how he died.

Among the first three people who came out, the one who survived was the master's most beloved disciple and the senior sister's closest Taoist partner. No matter how you look at it, this matter will cause endless troubles.

He was just about to go to the Hushan military camp to find Zhang Zhongshu to scold him and vent his anger.

I could hear the sound of quarreling.

As soon as he heard the word "peace", he became a little concerned.

The people and refugees were moving along the road in a bustling crowd. Their cries, shouts, and calls for children and girls formed a huge wave of sound that surged in...

Not far away, a young man of about 18 or 19 years old with a simple and honest face, with a face full of grievances, cried out in a sobbing voice: "I told you not to cross the river, not to cross the river. I lived so well under the rule of the Ping An Army...

General Ping'an not only distributed food and fodder, but also showed great care for civilians like us. He sent people to distribute grain seeds and guide farming. I never heard of anyone starving to death.

Moreover, uncle, do you know that now, under the rule of Ping An, there are no more bandits and water monsters in Guangyun County, and even the blood disaster has subsided.

Nowadays, Dongshan is peaceful and I had a good life, but I believed your lies and followed you across the river...

Now it’s a problem whether I can survive and settle down, how can I make a fortune?”

"Daniu, why don't you listen to advice?
What good can being an official do? Zhou Ping'an has a great reputation. Maybe at the beginning of the rebellion, he will give the people some sweet things, but in the long run, who knows if there will be any changes?
You have never met him, but you just listen to some gossip and follow the crowd. When the war breaks out, where will you go to complain?"

A middle-aged man dressed as a traveling merchant also spoke earnestly.

"My eldest brother passed away early, and you are the only one left in our Guiyuan Zhang family.

Your uncle has traveled far and wide, accumulated some wealth, and will always pass it on to you... Can you build a family business by guarding the few fields in the barren hills of Dongshan? Can you make the Zhang family prosperous?"

"Who said I haven't seen it? General Zhou Ping'an is really good. At that time, I was living in the mountains. I heard that a water monster was attacking outside, so I didn't dare to go out. It was General Zhou who saved my life.

You don’t know anything. That day, the woman holding the blood-red long knife was so vicious. With just one slash, Da Huang turned into blood. At home…at home…”

Daniu wiped away a tear.

"Originally, I was also going to turn into blood, but General Zhou happened to come to our hut and beheaded the vicious woman with a single blow. Fortunately, the woman turned into a red shadow and tried to escape, but there was no way she could escape General Zhou's divine power. She was beaten into a blood mist and scattered...

Originally, I thought I was dead, but unexpectedly General Zhou was a very kind person. Not only did he save me, he also fed me elixirs, and he also cured my cough that I had since my mother's womb.

Guess what? General Zhou even told me how to get grain and seeds from the government. He also asked my nephew to go on a blind date to find a wife... He said that the ten acres of wasteland had been reclaimed very well and that after registration, we could get government support.

"No tax will be collected within five years, and 10% tax will be collected within thirty years. This is what General Zhou said himself... He is such a powerful man, he would not just say nonsense, right?"

The young man felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke.

When I saw this uncle coming that day, I heard him talking eloquently about how much he had earned and how rich he could be. He said that if he worked well in the future, he could become a rich master.

My heart suddenly warmed up, and without thinking anything, I closed the wooden door and followed my uncle across the river.

Who would have thought that what was waiting for him was not wealth, but migration.

He fled from Huangze County to Hushan County and survived several near-death experiences.

It looks like we have to keep running away.

I don’t know when the war with the Red Lotus Army will finally stop.
"What do you think that bloody long sword looks like?"

Ah Niu was speaking in grief and anger when suddenly his body felt light and he could not move. He had already flown ten feet across and landed in the hands of a man.

He looked up and saw Fang Chengdong's cold gaze.

This gaze penetrated deep into his heart, making his entire body cold, as if he had fallen into a world of ice and snow.

"I... I am..."

Stirred by this murderous aura, Ah Niu was so frightened that his heart almost stopped and he could hardly breathe.

"Recall it carefully, don't be afraid, just tell me some news, not only will it not be harmful to you, but you will also be rewarded."

Fang Chengdong flipped his palm and took out a piece of gold.

"It's like this..."

The young man calmed down a little, picked up a dead branch and drew a knife shape on the sandy ground.

"It's so long, and the tip of the knife is a little curved. Moreover, the knife looks scary, as if blood is flowing. The strange thing is that it doesn't smell bloody, but has a very pleasant fragrance, which is more fragrant than many flowers..."

“Blood…Divine…Sword!”

Fang Chengdong gritted his teeth and spoke softly.

At that time, Fang Han reported that his most outstanding great-grandson Fang Yu disappeared in Guangyun Gaosheng Restaurant at the same time as the two incompetent sons of the Lin family.

Afterwards, Fang Chengdong went to investigate personally and found out that the person died from the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword.

Even the skin, flesh and hair turned into blood and seeped into the floor.

He could replay how the other party attacked and how the people in the room died. He could even calculate the exact time of their death with the help of his innate Bagua divination.

The only thing that cannot be calculated is the true identity of the murderer.

It seemed as if there was a strange power that concealed it and made the divination useless.

There is also the third senior brother Zhang Taiyan.

At that time, he thought that it was the Lord Cui of Guangyun County who did it, and it was closely related to Xuanming Bald Monk of Brahma Temple.

Those bald guys are the best at hiding their secrets, and they also like to plot and scheme in secret...

Since he was not as strong as others, he had to put it aside for the time being. Fang Chengdong had not thought too much about it.

However, according to what Daniu said, the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword did not seem to be in Cui Guangling's hands, but in Zhou Ping'an's hands.

He had already killed a witch and taken the blood knife away.

"Do you remember what time it was?"

"It was the eighth day of the fourth lunar month. I remember it clearly because the next day was the ninth day, my birthday. My uncle also came to Dongshan on that day. I shouldn't have left..."

When Ah Niu said this, he began to regret it again.

"April 8th!"

Fang Chengdong's eyes became even colder.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ah Niu deeply, suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, forced an ugly smile on his face, pressed the gold in his hand into the hand of this honest young man, and said softly: "Don't talk too much in the future, and don't tell anyone about what happened today. Have a good meal with your uncle."

"Thank you, sir."

When Ah Niu got the gold, he thought that the old Taoist priest was a very nice person.

He happily hid the gold, looking back every few steps, and continued forward with his uncle.

But I didn't notice that as he walked, my uncle's pace slowed down, and he slowly knelt down with a dull look in his eyes and blood gushing out of his mouth.

"uncle."

Aniu's eyes were filled with sorrow, he cried out in pain, and fear rose in his heart.

"I really shouldn't have asked you to come out."

My uncle gave a bitter smile, turned his head, and fell silent.

Ah Niu opened his mouth and howled in pain. As soon as he made a sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood and his heart exploded.
