Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 277

I don’t know if it’s because he used it improperly, but the success rate of signing the military token is much lower than Kang Dabao thought.

Among the five captured monks, except Ge Yangwei whose head was held by Sun Fu, after Master Kang used talismans on the remaining four people one by one, only the hunchbacked middle-aged man survived by chance.

If you don't have your own independent thoughts, you can still be considered alive.

"Is this the power of the military signature talisman?" Kang Dabao didn't care about feeling sorry for the waste of four military signature talismans. He and Mo Wen, who came over to open their eyes, took a breath of cold air almost at the same time.

The latter was considered young among the foundation-building cultivators, and was still less than a hundred years old. Therefore, he had only heard about the grand scene of the Immortal Dynasty raising troops to suppress the rebellion in Shannan Road in the past from his elders.

"Seeing is believing" is not an empty saying. After Mo Wen saw the strangeness of the military token with his own eyes today, his fear of the Yunjiaozhou court increased even more.

You know, even the military talisman, which seemed extremely evil and cruel in Mo Wen's eyes, was actually just one of the means used by the royal family of the Immortal Dynasty to control the cultivators of the world.

No wonder when Taizu David was trapped in the ancient forbidden land, as soon as the news spread, among the twenty-nine paths and more than four hundred prefectures of the Immortal Dynasty, there was almost no Nascent Soul force that had completely turned to David's clan.

The people of the world have suffered for a long time in the cause of saving their country, and there is no telling how many there are who have taken up the great cause. Wherever the righteous flag goes, responders gather in droves, and the uprising team is as vast as smoke.

There are many heroic, tragic, magnificent stories among them that have been intentionally erased by the true people above, and low-level cultivators like Kang Dabao and Mo Wen have no way of knowing them.

But one thing is certain, the Kuang family must have the means to make the major factions and high-ranking families afraid to act rashly, which is the only way to maintain their current position as the nominal ruler of the world.

Seeing that Mo Wen seemed to be thinking about something and didn't say anything, Kang Dabao took the initiative to suggest, "Daoyou Mo, this is unfortunate. I can only support Daoyou alone to go to the military camp to help."

As he spoke, the mother talisman in Kang Dabao's hand glowed. He then took out another black talisman, separated a ray of the light from the mother talisman, and placed it on the front of the talisman.

"Thank you, Your Excellency. With your help, our sect will surely be able to fulfill our mission." Mo Wen took the talisman, and as his mind moved, the hunchbacked middle-aged man also moved.

What surprised Mo Wen was that unlike manipulating magical instruments and puppets, relying on the black talisman to control the hunchbacked middle-aged man consumed very little spiritual energy.

Although this hunchbacked middle-aged man has lost his own thoughts, his fighting instinct has not decreased too much. He still maintains at least 90% of his combat power, truly like a living flesh and blood puppet.

The difference is that although the technique of refining flesh and blood puppets is not common in the David Immortal Dynasty, as long as you are willing to spend time and energy to look for it, you can find a few.

Even if a cultivator studies such a technique all day long, the number of flesh and blood puppets that can be made is limited. Not to mention, after refining it, it still takes a lot of effort to control it as if it were an arm.

But how can it be as convenient and quick as this military talisman? Any unrelated monk holding the mother talisman can easily control it.

Every three decades, the rotating assistant minister of the Ministry of War would request one fourth-level military token, twenty-four third-level military tokens, and a number of first- and second-level military tokens on behalf of the current emperor.

Over the years, no one knew how many military tokens the Kuang family had accumulated. Mo Wen knew from just thinking about it that it was probably a shocking number.

Kang Dabao felt relieved when he saw that Mo Wen didn't show much resistance.

If the latter really stubbornly refuses to listen, even if the power of Qiaogongbao moved to Pingrong County is less than half of what it was before the separation, it will still take a lot of effort for Chongming Sect to bring it under control.

If that were the case, it would not be a good thing for Sect Leader Kang, who was preparing for a major battle with the Changning Sect.

However, now that the other party has obeyed the instructions, Kang Dabao naturally needs to comfort him with kind words.

The Kangda Sect Leader, who was used to being fed with empty promises, was also very good at making up stories:
"Kang will not say anything empty words to Fellow Daoist Mo. Recently, not only do the two Sima feel that Changning Sect is annoying, but even Commander Tie and the Yue family also have some opinions about it.

Although the job of stationing in the two counties is a bit hard, your dedication and dedication will be seen by the adults, and your blood will not be shed in vain. "

Mo Wen heard Kang Dabao's words and was reluctant to give even an ambiguous promise. He sneered in his heart, but he had no capital to attack, so he just bowed and said:
"It is our duty to be loyal to our country. No one in our family dares to have any unreasonable thoughts, but we can't let go of our friendship. If Mr. Lai is lucky enough to achieve some small merits in the future, I hope the county lord and the two Sima will say a few good words to help our two branches reunite."

Kang Dabao nodded and smiled, and promised: "What you said is just what we should do, don't worry."

Mo Wen showed a hint of joy when he heard this, and thanked him, saying, "Mo Wen is entrusted with an important task, and I dare not neglect it. I will go back and make arrangements, and I will not delay the strategy set by the county lord."

"Be kind, do it well, and you will have a bright future."

As soon as these words came out, even the head of Kangda was a little surprised. Since when did he become so proficient in the art of talking nonsense?
He just sighed in his heart, looked at Mo Wen's departing back, lowered his head and walked out of the cell, feeling unhappy.

Today, Feinan was not calculating. Looking at Gunshilu, whose aura was becoming increasingly powerful, he suddenly thought, "If I don't use my trump card now, I will probably be no match for him."

But even so, Fenan did not feel the slightest envy towards the latter, but only felt it was a pity.

Even though Fei Nan'ao knew that this was because Gun Shilu felt that his leaf quality was low and the probability of achieving a genuine golden elixir was less than 11, he resorted to this desperate measure.

Gun Shilu still had enough life left in his body, but he chose a path that seemed the easiest. He did not dare to take the bright and sunny road, but instead formed a fake pill early on.

Many people outside said that this was a decisive and wise move, and a pragmatic one. After all, although fake elixir is a minor path, it is not something that can be achieved just by wishing it.

It would be beneficial for Gunshilu to take advantage of the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period and form the fake elixir one day earlier, so that he could stand out from the crowd of talents under Kuang Liuting one day earlier. Moreover, after Gunshilu did this, he would not fall behind too early.

The Earl of Nan'an is not just an ordinary upstart of the royal family. If he can really make a top-grade golden elixir, it will be a major event that will affect the entire Immortal Dynasty.

When that day really comes, there will be countless Daoists and Immortals from the major Nascent Soul forces who want to cling to him. It is normal for Gunshilu to feel this sense of crisis. But in the eyes of Feinan, this is really a self-degrading act and a severance of the path to Taoism.

Objectively speaking, this path is not bad for people like Gun Shilu who come from a small family with a good surname.

Fei Nan'an also knew that this was because his vision was too high. There were still many children of famous families in Gyeonggi Province who could hardly get a fake pill. If Gun Shilu had not started from the army and was fortunate enough to be favored by the uncle, he would not have achieved what he has today with his humble family background. To become a fake pill and live for three hundred years is enough to be called the ancestor of Taoism in front of those foundation-building true cultivators.

Although the two of them have some different ideas, they have been working together for decades. It is a bit too much to say that they are as close as brothers, but it is worthy of saying that they have a deep friendship.

Therefore, although the disagreement between the two was not resolved, they did not go their separate ways. In addition, the content of Fei Shuhe's letter yesterday also eased the slightly tense relationship between the two Sima.

When the two were alone, Gun Jia Sima was always at a disadvantage. This did not change at all even after Gun Jia Sima achieved the fake pill.

Then he was the first to speak with a grateful look on his face:
"My niece wrote to me before saying that Yao'er was careless a few days ago and was robbed by bandits on the road. Fortunately, Jiang Qing, the Chongming Sect, came to her rescue and brought Yao'er back to Qinghan Courtyard. To be honest, I was so frightened when I heard the news that I broke out in a cold sweat.

Recently, Master Bo has not been in seclusion, but is busy with affairs. It is not convenient for him to leave Sima Mansion. Please tell my niece that I will definitely bring gifts to your house in the future to express my gratitude for your kindness."

When Fei Nanying first heard the news, he was also scared. Gun Yuyao was a female official who had prepared incense for the current Empress Dowager Cixi. If something really happened on the way to find Fei Shuhe, it would indeed cause a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm, and Fei Sima had already adjusted his mood. Now, after hearing what Gun Shilu said, he just chuckled:
"That's really a bit too polite. What's the point of saying gratitude? The Anshan Gun family and the Sheshan Hall are one family. Shuhe is your niece, and Yao'er is also the apple of my eye. There's no need to thank me."

Although Fei Sima's words were somewhat artificial, they were not without some sincerity. This made Gun Shilu feel warm in his heart, and he suddenly had some thoughts of returning the favor:

"My uncle asked me to train a Taoist army. I selected some suitable people from my hometown in Yingzhou and gathered 200 soldiers. All of them are cultivators above the seventh level of Qi training. Now I have been training for a while and it can be considered as a rough shape.

The battle against the Chongming clan is imminent, and I intend to send this group of troops there, so that I can test the strength of the army with those defeated dogs."

After hearing this, Fei Nan'an was slightly moved, but after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "The Changning Sect is just a minor disease. With the help of the Black Shoe Taoist, the New Cloud Alliance can handle it. Now the Earl is waiting for the opportunity to form a pill, and he works hard every day. We should share his worries."

"Brother Dao, you are right," Sima Gong thought thoughtfully, remembering the recent news that was circulating in the state court: "I heard that the state governor Zhu Tong is working on the matter of reforming the vassal of Hong Yi in Dingzhou. It is said that it has been quite effective. I don't know whether it is true or not."

Fei Nan'an nodded and said, "That should be true. Now that the Hongyi Sect has not produced any golden elixirs, all of its disciples have been registered by the state court. If there is a war, they can be used at any time.

The situation has become like this, what kind of reputation does his family still have in Dingzhou?

Zhu Tong is a capable person. If this situation continues for a while, Dingzhou will gradually catch up with Yunjiaozhou. Compared with here, Dingzhou is much richer. If this thing is accomplished, it will be a great thing. "

Fei Sima praised it and then said:
"This is not the only major event. It is said that Zhu Tong is also busy mediating the dispute between the legitimate and illegitimate children of the Yang family in Yezhou next door with the prestige of the uncle. It is said that the head of the Yang family's small branch is quite interested in Zhu Tong's suggestion to go to Dingzhou to seize the foundation of Hongyi Sect.

Counting from the 350th year of Qianfeng in the David Immortal Dynasty, the drama of brothers fighting each other in Yezhou Yang family has lasted for nearly a hundred years, and half of Yezhou has been destroyed by them.

Not to mention, during this period, even several Jindan cultivators of the Yang family were injured.

In addition, in the past hundred years, the population of the state has not only not increased, but has also decreased by more than 20%. This is already a devastating loss for all people, but the two sides are still unable to do anything to each other. Not only have they been laughed at by outsiders, but the strength of both sides has also been greatly reduced.

Therefore, under such circumstances, they are indeed fed up. If the Yang family is really willing to surrender, then our Yunjiaozhou Court will have a golden elixir force available. "

This kind of thing is often the most difficult to create from scratch. If the first Jindan force comes to join, then there will be a second and a third.
Gun Shilu knew this truth, and while he was excited, he was also a little worried: "What Sima said is a good thing, but this move is really too big, I'm afraid that the Zhaixing Tower will be affected."

After hearing Gunshilu's worries, Feinan made a secretive expression and said, "We don't have to worry about it. Zhu Tong has a smart mind and can help you take care of these things."

As soon as Fei Nan'ao finished speaking, Gun Shilu's expression remained unchanged and he responded with a "yes".

In fact, his mood, which had just improved, became a little depressed again, and he thought to himself: "It turns out that no matter how loyal you are, it can't compare to the bonus of family background."

Seeing that Gunshilu's eyes were wandering, Feinan's goal was achieved, and he raised his lips slightly, and changed the subject: "By the way, I heard that the military commander Qin Sufu has been quite popular recently. Does the Yue family want to marry him?"

Gunshilu nodded and said:
"It is true. That Master Yin Shan was able to gain such a great reputation in Yunjiao Province, and the disciples he personally trained must be good. After Qin Sufu established his foundation, the uncle took the time to meet him in person and said that he just lacked some luck, so his leaf quality did not reach the ice leaf.

He encouraged him a few words, saying that as long as he was willing to practice diligently, his future would not be limited to the realm of fake elixir. It was normal for Yue Jing to send people to win him over and show goodwill. "

Feinan tapped the low table with his fingers a few times and whispered, "I have dealt with him before, and he is indeed a talent. If that's all, then a mere foundation-building stage is worthless.

But he joined the army early, held a high position in the state court, and held military power, so it was not easy for him to be recruited by the Yue family. I remember that Governor Zhu seemed to have a concubine's daughter who was waiting to be married? "

Gun Shilu frowned and said bluntly: "If the Yue family marries their legitimate daughter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attract others to come over." Fei Nan'an nodded after hearing this. Since the Yue family in Hancheng had a legitimate daughter who was favored in the Nan'an Earl's Mansion, their family became even more notorious in Yunjiaozhou.

Qin Sufu was originally a native of Yunjiao, and was naturally close to the Yue family. It would be difficult to ask him to switch to the outsider faction in the capital, which was his side.

Sima Gun suddenly thought of something: "However, there is a special way. Qin Sufu and Kang Dabao have been friends for many years, maybe we can ask the latter to send a message to persuade him."

"Yes," Fei Sima also remembered that Qin Sufu seemed to have gone to congratulate Jiang Qing when he was building his foundation.

"After going around in circles, I ended up getting involved with that kid Kang Dabao," Sima Fei said, finding it funny. Taoist Hei Lu, Jiang Qing, Qin Sufu, there were so many people he admired hidden in such a small Pingrong County, and they all had a close relationship with Kang Dabao.

"Then I'll write him another letter and ask him to persuade him. At worst, I won't chase him away when he comes to our house to ask for money again."
