Chapter 49: Foundation (Seeking follow-up reading)

After a moment, Chen Sheng opened his eyes.

A divine light first flashed in his eyes, then quickly subsided, and he completely achieved the unity of body and soul.

As he returned to the state of being wrapped in his physical body, he felt a strong sense of security in his heart, but he also realized that compared to the previous time when his Yin Spirit left his body, his sensitivity and control over spiritual energy had decreased by nearly half.

It can only be said that casting spells with the physical body and casting spells with the Yin spirit each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Chen Sheng stood up and walked outside, first opening an iron door that was as thick as a palm, and then pushing open a wooden door, before sunlight shone into the house.

The person standing at the door to report was a handsome young man, Zhang Gui, who was already sixteen years old.

He smelled the blood of the rabbit, looked into the secret room, and immediately said with a gloomy face.

"Brother, why did you kill so many rabbits again? I've been eating rabbit meat for half a month straight, and I'm almost sick of it."

Chen Sheng ignored him and walked straight out.

There were other guards behind him closing the door, and Zhang Gui quickly followed and said behind him.

"Brother, the one who came to seek medical treatment today is the head of the Zhao family in the county town—Zhao Gou. He was an official in Bohai County a few years ago, but retired due to illness.

Before he came, he had already written a letter, saying that if you could cure his illness, he would give 200,000 yuan as an offering to Master Huang.

"Two hundred thousand coins are enough to buy six thousand dan of wheat, yet the local tyrants are willing to use it to treat illnesses. They are really generous."

Chen Sheng dealt with Zhang Gui casually and strode along the main street of Zhangjiabao.

I saw that this fortress, which was devastated by the slaughter of its people three years ago, has now recovered its vitality and is even more prosperous than before.

The aroma of wine wafted through the air from the brewery; curls of smoke rose from every chimney; the dull sound of sawing wood emanated from the carpenter's house; farmers were weaving baskets over a bonfire in their yards; and the clanging of iron could be heard from the blacksmith's shop...

It is the early spring farming off-season, and the handicraft practitioners in the small peasant economy are the busiest.

Whenever Chen Sheng met pedestrians on the road, no matter how far away they were, they would run over to greet him.

"Great and Good Master, my goose was killed by a dog the day before yesterday. I asked my wife to stew the goose and send it to you. Have you eaten it?"

"Great and Good Master, we have already mastered the martial arts you taught us children last month. When will you teach us a new set?"

"The new refugees stole three of my chickens. Great and virtuous teacher, please give me justice."

"Great and virtuous teacher, there was a very pretty girl among the refugees who came a few days ago. I think she would be a good match for you. Can you go and see her sometime?"

……

In recent years, he has relied on Taoist magic to pretend to be a god, eliminate bandits by force, gather refugees and show kindness, cure the plague in a county and teach higher-level handicraft production methods.

Nowadays, no one in Zhangjiabao dares to call Zhang Shou by his name. They all call him the Great Sage and Good Teacher, whose prestige is unmatched.

Although there were patients waiting for Chen Sheng to treat them at this time, considering that Zhao Gou would not die for a while and was a freeloader, he actually solved the villagers' problems one by one in a leisurely manner on the street and patiently responded to everyone's concern for him.

There is naturally a reason why he maintains such a friendly personality.

Over the past few years, while Chen Sheng has been steadily developing, he has also formulated a long-term development plan based on the reality that he is the only one in this world:

That is, to establish a sect, use Taoism as a means of spreading the teachings, expand the influence of the sect, absorb the martial arts resources of this world to provide support for their own practice, and step by step improve their life cultivation to the third level. And refer to Wu Guang's memories to practice Taoism, and become the world's most powerful master, a Taoist ancestor who is like a land immortal.

After the sect has gained enough power, if there is a chance to seize the power to govern the people in this world, it will overthrow Yanhan and establish a Taoist country on earth.

If you can't find a suitable opportunity, then as a second best option, it's not a bad idea to become the state religion of Yanhan.

Ultimately, with the whole country's strength, we can make the cultivation of both the spirit and life advance in parallel and jointly advance to the third level, so that the time of this reincarnation will not be wasted.

Since Chen Sheng did not intend to become emperor this time, but to establish a religion and rebel, the people in Zhangjiabao would be the basic seeds of the future sect, so he did a lot of superficial work.

Maintaining a loving and friendly image is a necessary task for every great and virtuous teacher.

Moreover, in Chen Sheng's eyes, when he interacted with the people around him, every time someone's problem was solved and they felt reverence for him from the bottom of their hearts, there would be tiny spiritual lights that were invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people, floating out from their bodies and converging towards his Yin Shen.

However, because the Yin God was unable to absorb these spiritual lights, they could only eventually float out of the Yin God again and dissipate into the air.

Chen Sheng knew that this thing, which was clearly different from spiritual energy, was the power of incense and vows.

Unfortunately, he did not awaken a god-like profession and could not absorb faith for his own use.

However, since ancient times, the Taoists in this land have not only cultivated their own magic powers to become immortals, but also often have the tradition of worshipping immortals, gaining the faith of the people, and practicing magic.

Perhaps after changing the profession of [Taoist], skills related to the power of incense and vows will be awakened.

Chen Sheng stayed on the street for a long time, talking to everyone, before he winked at Zhang Gui, asking him to pretend to be a bad guy and pull him away from the crowd.

Zhangjiabao is not big. After walking forward for a distance, you will reach the gate of the fort.

Walking on the main street, you can see a porridge stall from afar. In front of the stall are dozens of refugees who have come from afar to seek refuge, queuing up to get porridge.

When you get closer, you can see that the oat porridge in the big pot is neither thick nor thin, and there are a few pieces of meat the size of mung beans mixed in it.

Some refugees who received porridge were squatting not far away, drinking the hot porridge with smiles on their faces.

The whole Julu County said that the talisman water of the Great Sage Master could cure all diseases. As long as you go to Zhangjiabao and drink a bowl of talisman water, any terminal illness can be cured.

In fact, those refugees could never drink real talisman water.

What saved their lives was just a bowl of oatmeal porridge with diced meat.

Most of the refugees' illnesses are caused by hunger. For them, having enough food is the best talisman in the world, and a full stomach can prevent all diseases.

Among the refugees, Chen Sheng also saw the family of five that he had seen in the water mirror technique before. They were drinking hot porridge happily at this time.

In the past few years, Chen Sheng has made a lot of money by refining and selling elixirs to the powerful and wealthy. According to the regulations he formulated, his family should be arranged to learn some skills, so making a living will not be a problem.

After that, he kept walking, avoided the refugees who were drinking porridge, and walked out of the gate of Zhangjiabao.

The first thing that catches your eye is a tall peach tree standing on the bleak early spring plain.

The tree is six zhang tall, and its crown reaches more than ten zhang in radius. It is green all over, with lush branches and leaves. You can vaguely see red peach blossoms among the branches and leaves.
