Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

Chapter 106 [105] Suddenly! (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month)

"What are you looking at me doing?"

Gu Zheng glanced at the three of them and said calmly, "I can't make the decision on this matter."

"Hey~!"

Zhang Ning, Tao Liu, and An Xiaoxue lowered their heads and sighed in unison.

Gu Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to them. He picked up the teacup and took a sip.

It is true that he is a centurion, an official, and his rank has entered the middle level.

But this belongs to the Demon Slayer Division.

It’s not inside the Fengzhou government office.

Relocating and resettling the people was the job of the Fengzhou provincial government.

However, relocating hundreds of thousands of people was a huge project, even before the natural disaster.

It requires a lot of manpower, material resources, financial resources and energy.

What’s more, after the weather changes?

Not to mention anything else, hundreds of thousands of people setting out on the road together will definitely attract out all the demons roaming the mountains and forests.

It doesn't take many attacks, just three or five, and the morale of the team will collapse.

The demons in Wulong Prefecture were cleared out, but there were still wandering demons in Sishui Prefecture and other prefectures.

If the number of people is only a few thousand, then Gu Zheng will grit his teeth, execute them first and report later, and bring them back to the provincial capital first.

But what to do with hundreds of thousands of people?
Zhang Ning, Tao Liu, and An Xiaoxue, how could they not know this?
With the demon gourd incident in Wulong Prefecture, no one is not afraid and does not want to leave.

People from Xiongying County and Bamen County want to migrate.

Don’t people in Zhongxi County and Lesheng County want to migrate?
They want to too!

I can only think about this.

but……

"I can't make the decision on migration, but I can try to enhance everyone's strength." Gu Zheng pondered for a moment and broke the silence.

"Really? What can I do?"

Hearing this, Zhang Ning raised his head and said in surprise, “If it can enhance the strength of the people here, then unless the demon-making gourd comes again, it will be enough to protect ourselves against low-level demons.”

Tao Liu was also surprised.

"That's great." An Xiaoxue was also excited, "Gu Tou, well done!"

"Don't be happy too early."

Gu Zheng raised his hand and said calmly, "The solution I thought of is to teach a real skill to..."

"What? Teaching true skills?" Zhang Ning interrupted with surprise, "Boss Gu, this won't work. The Demon Slaying Division strictly prohibits the transmission of true skills to outsiders! Whether it's the person teaching or the person learning, once they are discovered..."

"I know."

Gu Zheng raised his hand to signal Zhang Ning to stop, and said calmly, "The real skills I teach are my own creation."

"Even self-made ones are not allowed...eh?"

Zhang Ning's face was full of anxiety, but he froze in the middle of his speech, his eyes dull, and he stammered, "Self-created?"

"Gu Tou, you created a real skill?" Tao Liu was also shocked, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "What is the real skill? Can everyone learn it?"

"You want to ask if you can learn it, right?" An Xiaoxue glanced at him, then, without looking at Tao Liu whose face was flushed, she clapped her hands and said excitedly, "Gu Tou, this is amazing! You have even created a real skill! What is this real skill? Did you cultivate it to something magical?"

"Of course, it is through cultivation that one develops supernatural powers."

Gu Zheng responded calmly, "If you teach fist, palm, and weapon skills to people without supernatural powers, they won't be able to use them."

"My true martial art is called 'Bi Bo Yan Xia Jue'. It is not difficult to get started. It can even be said to be simple. Anyone with a little talent for martial arts should be able to get started and then practice to achieve supernatural powers."

After the change in the sky, there was some strange energy between heaven and earth that could not be touched but could be sensed.

Although it is very thin at present, it does give people the opportunity to become stronger.

The strange changes in the mountains and forests and the birth of exotic beasts are all stimulated by this strange energy.

Gu Zheng has completely mastered "The Art of Blue Waves and Mist", and it will have some impact if it is spread out, but the impact will not be great.

After all, "Bi Bo Yan Xia Jue" cannot break through the realm.

This will not irritate the people from the aristocratic families, they will just think that Gu Zheng is a fool.

If it can save a few lives, then it's okay to be stupid.

The tragic situation in Wulong Prefecture cannot be empathized with by anyone who has not experienced it personally.

Large-scale migration is not realistic, so strengthening personal strength is the guarantee.

Deep down, Gu Zheng actually didn't think much of "The Secret of Blue Waves and Mist".

The real skills that the Gu family needs must be deduced and created on the basis of "Bi Bo Yan Xia Jue" to be new and able to break through the realm!

For this reason, since "Bi Bo Yan Xia Jue" is just lying there anyway, it might as well be passed on to others and it will be considered as a good deed.

……

"The Art of Blue Waves and Mist? It sounds like a good name." An Xiaoxue was excited. "If a few hundred people here can cultivate to supernatural powers, it will be a great help."

"By the way, Gu Tou, should we select a group of people here and bring them back to the Demon Slayer Division? To enter the training camp?"

"Time is too tight." Gu Zheng replied calmly, "General Xie and General Meng have not replied to my message so far. The situation at the headquarters in the state capital is probably a bit tricky. I have to go back and see if I can help."

"You three can stay and screen for talent."

"This..." Zhang Ning was stunned when he heard this, and then said awkwardly, "Let's go back first. The logistics department should have more experience in how to deal with Wulong later."

"Yes." Tao Liu coughed and agreed, "We are field workers, so it's better for us to focus on field work."

An Xiaoxue opened her mouth but didn't say anything. She lowered her head guiltily, with shame flashing in her eyes.

It's not just the people here who are scared.

The three of them are scared too!

If Gu Zheng really had to leave completely, they would be finished if a late-stage first-order demon came out.

An Xiaoxue, Zhang Ning, and Tao Liu all suffered more or less sequelae due to the influence of the demon-making gourd.

If I stay any longer, I will be extremely anxious. How can I do anything?

Gu Zheng glanced at the three of them but didn't point it out.

The responsibilities of the three departments, field work, clerical work, and logistics, are indeed different.

But when the situation is urgent, everyone has to be conscripted.

But for now, it hasn't reached that stage yet.

……

To impart real skills, one naturally has to gather people together.

Starting from Xiongying County, Gu Zheng reported all the martial arts schools, constables, yamen runners, county soldiers, and even the guards of the wealthy families in the county.

He copied "The Secret of Bi Bo Yan Xia" again and again.

Anyone in the city who could write was called out and gathered together.

Compared with others, Gu Zheng demanded that the county government must set up a department open to all citizens.

That is, as long as you want to learn, even a beggar can learn!

The county government naturally agreed.

Firstly, too many people had obtained a copy of "Bi Bo Yan Xia Jue", so it was bound to leak out and could not be hidden at all.

Secondly, Gu Zheng is now in the super-physical realm and is a captain of the Demon-Slaying Division. There is no guarantee that he might sneak back to Wulong Mansion for inspection at any time. They must be very bold to disobey him.

The content of the real skill was given, and Gu Zheng also gathered everyone together to give a public explanation on how to practice it.

"The Secret of Blue Waves and Mist" is a fusion of the concepts of water and fire.

Therefore, practicing by the water will help you gain understanding and get started more quickly.

From water to fire.

After you have mastered the technique, you can light a fire and roast some food.

Of course, the best place to practice is hot springs!
Gu Zheng did not reveal this in public.

What we need to prevent is a group of people fighting to the death for the hot springs. When the smart people find out about it themselves, that will be another matter.

……

The teaching was passed down from one county to another.

After staying in Wulong Prefecture for another seven days, Gu Zheng set out on his return journey with three hundred strong men, as well as Zhang Ning, An Xiaoxue, and Tao Liu.

When he left, thousands of people saw him off.

There were people kneeling on the roadside.

Including the constables and bailiffs in the county governments and the wealthy people in the city.

Ordinary people do not know the value of real Kung Fu. As people like them have access to it, how can they not appreciate Gu Zheng’s care for them?

It is no exaggeration to say that "The Secret of Blue Waves and Mist" is an opportunity!
The greatest opportunity of their lives!

"More than just erecting a monument, Gu Tou's care for the people of Wulong Prefecture can even be engraved on a plaque."

On horseback, Tao Liu looked at the people kneeling on both sides of the road, stretching in long lines for a long distance, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Are you waiting for me to tell you?" An Xiaoxue rolled her eyes at him. "They have already started carving. I have heard that the carpenters have been busy all day long these days, not to mention the carving masters. Of course, none of these carving craftsmen charge money. They only ask people who come to their door to provide their own wood. The poor people get ordinary wood. The rich people get high-quality wood. They also pay for waxing it to prevent insects and ants."

"After a while, every household will have a longevity card!"

"In Daping County, Baishui County, Qingshi County, and the entire Wulong Prefecture, more and more people are worshipping Gu Tou." Zhang Ning said with a smile, "Fortunately, Gu Tou is now a student of General Meng and General Xie, otherwise, some people would definitely make some tricks."

"This one……"

Hearing this, An Xiaoxue paused, and Tao Liu also put away his emotion and looked serious.

Indeed, Gu Zheng's original intention was to benefit the people, and these people are full of respect for him.

But for those in higher positions and the officials in the government offices in the provincial capital, they felt bad.

To put it bluntly, Gu Zheng is breaking a taboo!
"Thinking too much."

Gu Zheng glanced at the three people and said calmly, "The situation in various places is getting more and more chaotic now. How can there be so many dirty things? Keeping your own job and staying alive is the most important thing."

"That's true."

Zhang Ning nodded and sighed, "Before, only the northern part of Fengzhou was in chaos, with battlefields constantly opening up and countless casualties. The west, south, east, and central parts were all relatively okay. Now that the incident in Wulong Prefecture has happened, the east is also going to be in chaos."

Gu Zheng was silent.

An Xiaoxue and Zhang Ning also stopped talking.

The facts are right in front of them and they cannot afford to deceive themselves or others.

For a moment, the team fell silent.

Only the sound of horse hooves and the friction of the armor plates of the three hundred strong men could be heard on the avenue.

We passed through several counties and left Wulong Prefecture.

Taking advantage of the break halfway through the journey, several strong men suddenly walked up to Gu Zheng and knelt on their knees.

"...What are you doing?" Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows, "If you have anything to say, just get up and tell me."

"me……"

"This... that... we..."

"We also want to learn the "Bi Bo Yan Xia Jue"!"

Some of the people kneeling on the ground hesitated, some were embarrassed, and some had red faces. Only one of the black-faced young men had a firm look in his eyes. He raised his head and looked at Gu Zheng, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice, "Master Gu, we want to learn the "Bi Bo Yan Xia Jue". We beg..."

"can."

Gu Zheng nodded, and glanced at the other warriors around him who were chewing dry food but listening to the noise here. He said loudly, "If you want to learn the "Bi Bo Yan Xia Jue", go find Tao Liu and Zhang Ning and ask for a copy."

"Wow~!"

All the strong men around suddenly knelt on the ground and cheered excitedly.

"Thank you, Master Gu!"

"Master Gu is mighty!"

These strong men have all gone through advanced training camps and taken secret medicines, and have become strong men only in order to develop supernatural powers.

The biggest regret is not practicing real skills.

Now that Gu Zheng has given him the "Bi Bo Yan Xia Jue", maybe he could cultivate it to attain supernatural powers.

As long as they possess supernatural powers, they can become Demon Suppression Guards.

Even a small flag of the Demon Suppression Guard can bring a family member and live in the Demon Slaying Bureau headquarters.

The outside world is so chaotic now, only the Demon Slaying Division headquarters can guarantee safety.

In other words, "The Art of Blue Waves and Mist" is also an opportunity for the three hundred strong men!
"What's your name?"

Hearing the cheers, Gu Zheng calmly withdrew his gaze and looked at the black-faced young man.

"My name was Nie Dagou before."

The dark-faced young man replied solemnly, "My name is Nie Yunxiao now. Yunxiao is the name I chose myself."

"Nie Yunxiao? Nice name." Gu Zheng nodded, indicating that he remembered it.

Seeing this, Nie Yunxiao didn't dare to ask more questions. He clasped his fists and saluted, then retreated away with the others.

"Why, Mr. Gu likes this kid?" Tao Liu came over and raised his eyebrows.

“It’s not a question of whether I like it or not, I just think it’s a bit courageous. If I can cultivate it to become supernatural, there will be some future for me.”

As he spoke, Gu Zheng laughed to himself, "I sound like an old-fashioned person. Okay, let's stop resting and continue on our journey!"

"Yes!"

Tao Liu clasped his fists in response, then raised his eyebrows and said, "With Gu Tou's current strength, what's wrong with being old-fashioned?"

After saying that, he ran away.

Zhang Ning and An Xiaoxue tried not to laugh, but the expressions on their faces showed their approval.

Gu Zheng ignored them.

……

The team continues to set off.

When we passed through Hanyin County, Xuanhe County and entered Mutun County, suddenly a heat wave hit us.

It was a very hot day, and the sun was high in the sky.

Gu Zheng didn't think anything of it at first.

As the team continued to move forward and got closer to Mutun County, they realized something was wrong.

heat!
too hot!
The further you go, the warmer the air becomes.

The heat wave rolled in, hitting everyone.

When we arrived at Mutun County, the temperature was over 43 or 45, if we had a thermometer.

This sudden high temperature is definitely a problem.

Gu Zheng decisively stopped the team from moving forward, soared into the sky, danced and circled, and continued to fly westward.

To be precise, it is to follow the source of the heat wave and fly over quickly.

The distance is not very far.

After flying over Mutun County and heading northwest for less than five miles, Gu Zheng saw the source of the scorching heat.

a mountain!

A mountain no more than two hundred meters high was engulfed in raging flames, and all the trees on the mountain were burning.

But burning is nothing.

What really surprised Gu Zheng was that he saw a familiar scene again.

The transparent curtain that I had seen before the venue was opened at Dalong Mountain and Qianxing Lake.

A thin film of air that connects the sky and the earth, covers all directions and blocks all entry and exit!
"Field wall!?"

A place was born outside Mutun County!
