The world of Taoism

Chapter 258
Zhou Xuan didn't come here for fun, but because he had important things to do.

The current situation is chaotic, and I am afraid it will affect the whole Yangzhou. We must make preparations first, so as not to fall into a passive position in the future.

Among the rebellious army, Zhou Xuan definitely had no problem protecting himself, but he couldn't repel the rebellious army.

His spells might kill hundreds, or thousands.

In the face of several 10 horses, this ability is still a drop in the bucket.

Practitioners can go to the battlefield, and it is generally used to kill the leader of the opponent, instead of going to the battlefield to head-to-head with soldiers.

If cultivators are really comparable to an army of hundreds of thousands, then why should ordinary people join the army?Just go directly to the cultivator.

Moreover, some spells belong to the yin attribute, and it is unknown whether they can be released after being rushed by the yang energy of the army.

The painted boats flow along the river, and most of the people along the coast are refugees who died violently.

Most people's stomachs are high and swollen, as if they were pregnant in October.

Zhou Xuan knew that it was caused by eating too much food that was not easy to digest, as well as edema.

There is no way, after all, people always have to eat, the more hungry the more they eat, the more they eat, the more indigestible they become.

In the end, people who often starve to death are not really starving to death, but eating a lot of indigestible things.

This time, Zhou Xuan planned to use his own power to stimulate more crops so that the common people could have food, and at the same time gain faith for the God of Heaven.

As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

There are tens of thousands of believers, and he doesn't have to live carefully.

Although Zhou Xuan does not absorb the power of followers, it can also be used to expand the Yin soil and increase the number of Yin soldiers, which can be regarded as expanding his own power.

Think about it, if Zhou Xuan's Yin soldiers break through [-], what a terrifying number it will be.

Zhou Xuan divided the ghosts of believers into two types.

One is a true spirit with only memory and self-awareness.

It is not very powerful, it can only hurt ordinary humans under certain conditions, and its strength is not strong.

Further up is the real ghost.

These believers generally have deep beliefs, or have stayed in the shady soil for a long time, soaked by divine power, and then transformed.

Believers at this level already have ghosts, and are no longer true spirits with only a little bit of starlight, and their strength is equivalent to induction.

Further up is about the cultivation of the soul, the higher the strength, the stronger the soul.

And with so many people dying every day, the power will grow rapidly.

Only Zhou Xuan dared to play like this.

The other gods just barely supported their few more fanatical believers, as well as the temple blessings after death.

The most add up to a few hundred people.

The true spirit is usually connected to let them live for a few years, and let them disappear naturally after fulfilling the promise, without spending too much power.

After all, more than half of the faith is self-consumption by the gods, and then a part is distributed to the subordinates, and finally the believers.

So they can support very few believers.

But Zhou Xuan is different, what is taken from the people and used by the people, there is no commission at all, and he has more than half of his beliefs than others under the same conditions.

He has close to [-] believers, and the faith he uses may be more than [-].

When believers gave faith, Zhou Xuan had to guarantee their peace after death.

The only thing he got was Yin soldiers and Yin soil.

Zhou Xuan came to Tianzun Temple in the south of the city, where Zhou Xiaoya was in charge.

A large group of refugees gathered outside each Tianzun Temple, waiting for porridge and food.

Hu Wang was out of breath and leaned against the big tree.

At this time, his lips were chapped, his stomach was swollen high, and there was a feeling of cramping inside.

It was like a loach rolling inside, stirring the intestines violently.

Hu Wang was rolling on the ground in pain. When the people around saw this scene, they just shook their heads slightly and did not step forward to help.

Many people have died, and death may be the real relief.

"We are saved! Second brother, there are people in the south of the city who give out porridge, and there are also people who get medical treatment for free. We are saved!"

A man walked by the road and said to the man lying next to Hu Wang.

When Hu Wang heard these words, his eyes lit up immediately, as if burning with the hope of being alive.

"Really?" The person lying on the ground was a little suspicious.

If it is fake, he would rather not go, it is better to lie down, reduce the energy consumption of the body, and live a few more days.

Several people in his village traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers because they believed this kind of rumor, and they did send out, but they only had a few grains of rice, and they starved to death on the spot after drinking a few meals.

Instead, he lay down here and ate tree roots and lived to this day.

"It's true! Tianzun Temple purveys sentient beings, as long as those who go there can take care of themselves, and even help you get medical treatment for free, look, am I alive and kicking now?"

Seeing this, the fire of hope burned in Hu Wang's heart.

Whether it's true or not, don't sit and wait to die, even if you die, you have to be a dead ghost.

So he dragged his sick body and set off towards the south of the city.

Along the way, there were still many refugees rushing to the south of the city. Hu Wang made a rough count, and there were probably tens of thousands of people.

"With so many people, is there still food?" Hu Wang couldn't help being suspicious.

Anyway, he walked ahead anyway, and he was the first to eat if he wanted to eat, and he would eat first.

Other temples also have the act of giving porridge, but it is not as exaggerated as Shenxiao Tianzun, after all, people also have to eat.

Although believers are important, they are not as important as their bellies.

People in all the temples are gloating, but it depends on how many days the Shenxiao Tianzun Temple can last.

Gathering so many victims, the anger of tens of thousands of people, once detonated, it may be another catastrophe, enough to affect these hundreds of thousands of refugees.

By then it will not end well.

Hu Wang saw a magnificent palace from a distance
A large group of people had already gathered outside this splendid palace, and a scent of fragrance rushed to their faces.

Hu Wang's eyes turned green when he smelled the aroma, and at the same time, he felt a little suspicious.

He is not an ordinary farmer, he is a failed scholar, and his family is fairly well off.

If it weren't for the war, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the chance to be a refugee in my life.

These people add up to almost [-], and even the government may not be able to support so many people. Is there really that much food?
Suddenly, there was a roar of mountains and tsunami in front.

Following the voice, he saw the next scene, which he will never forget.

I saw a man in a Chinese robe standing on a piece of wasteland.

Dozens of soldiers held dustpans in their hands and were spreading some seeds on the ground.

Afterwards, the man in the Chinese robe spread out his hands in the eyes of everyone, and a blue light appeared in the palm of his hand, and he recited the name of the God of Heaven.

The scene was so magical that the people around did not dare to make a sound, as if they were infected by the atmosphere, everyone was chanting the name of the god of heaven.

In order to expand the reputation of Tianzun Shenxiao, Zhou Xuan also gathered a large number of literati to be responsible for compiling the name of Tianzun Shenxiao and the scriptures for singing.

The sky is divided into nine heavens, and the sky at the top is called Shenxiao.

Shenxiao Tianzun stands on the nine heavens, overlooking all living beings in the world.

Those who believe in Shenxiaotian will not be disturbed by demons, ghosts, hunger and pain. After death, they can go to the world of Shenxiao Nine Heavens to reunite with their families.

A ray of light sprinkled over the wasteland.

The green vegetation grew up, reaching a height of one or two meters in an instant.

Hu Wang could tell at a glance that it was cassava.

When the founding emperor consecrated Zen to Mount Tai, there was a god who descended the god seed, which was this cassava.

It can be harvested between March and June, and the yield per mu is seven or eight times that of wheat and rice.

Drought and flood tolerance, it doesn't even need to reclaim farmland, it can grow directly on barren hills.

This is also the reason why the population of this dynasty is as high as [-] million, an unprecedented population.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the cassava had finished growing. When everyone dug up the cassava, they saw thick roots.

The crowd immediately became a sensation, and they all knelt down to worship the god of heaven.

"This is the real god, the real god came to the world!!" Hu Wang burst into tears.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and if Tianzun Shenxiao can solve the problem of food and clothing, then he will be the savior and the people will aspire.

Relying on cassava, the temple of Shenxiao Tianzun has made tens of thousands of people feast on it.

And with such a miraculous method, the number of believers grew rapidly.

At the same time, Shenxiao Tianzun Temple also treated people for free, and for a while, it gained a lot of limelight.

Zhou Xuan did it himself, and there are countless people alive.

The title of Celestial Master is well known by ordinary believers.

Because he saved many people, he is called "the great virtuous heavenly master" by believers.

"No, why is there a sense of instant vision?"

A thought flashed in Zhou Xuan's mind who was treating someone.
