The world of Taoism

Chapter 272 Heaven sends murderous intentions, earth sends murderous intentions, people send murderous intentions.

Behind Tarim stood a group of similarly tall people with bloodthirsty expressions on their faces.

It's been a long time since I drank blood, this time I must drink it to my heart's content.

"Kill me!" Tarim yelled.

The men ran down in a swarm, and the first thing they faced was a small town.

The small town is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Although it is not very rich, it can be considered to have enough food and drink, and it is quiet and peaceful.

At this time, a group of uninvited guests broke into this quiet town.

This group of people kills anyone they see, speaks incomprehensible words, and even eats human flesh.

The residents of the small town had never seen such a scene before, and they were instantly frightened and collapsed to the ground.

The enemy will not let them go just because they have no strength to resist.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire town was destroyed in flames.

These people were not at peace when they died, and their souls that floated out were caught by a group of soldiers and thrown into the jars on their waists.

Waiting for their end is to use them as materials for casting spells, or to become new members of the Five Rampant Forces.

"Boss! You must remember, leave some people behind!!" Duan Gong shouted loudly.

Regardless of the old, weak, sick or disabled, under the powerful force, these people have to be cannon fodder in order to survive.

"No problem." After Duan Gong reminded him, Tarim calmed down.

Now it's on someone else's territory.

As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four feet, no matter how brave they are, they can't hold back the advantage of having a large number of people.

In order to avoid this kind of battle that is overwhelmed by the number of people, it is necessary to get a pile of cannon fodder, and this cannon fodder is the Han people.

There are many Han people and their lives are cheap, so it is best to let them fight in the front line.

All of a sudden, this small town with a population of tens of thousands was dying, crippled and crippled, some of them were coerced and forcibly taken away.

Wherever the barbarians went, they would burn, kill and loot. With the sacrifices to the evil gods, the barbarians became more and more courageous and stronger.

As they conquered the city, more and more people were coerced.

When the defenders of this county were taken down, tens of thousands of people were coerced.

Dongshan County is occupied by them, and everyone in Shenxiao Palace has been notified.

Militia organizations in various places simply cannot deal with such a powerful enemy.

Most of the defenders in the city have been transferred to the north, and the only losses now are the servants of the big households and the 1200 regiments controlled by the Zhou family for training.

After three months of training, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has basically taken shape.

With faith as the inspiration to fight, and doctors as the life support on the battlefield, the combat effectiveness of this group of people is close to that of the elite soldiers of the imperial court.

Although the number of people is small, it is no problem to deal with ordinary mobs with one enemy ten.

This kind of servant and guardian from a wealthy family should be able to fight.

Basically, Yangzhou can't help them with anything. Now that most of the troops have been transferred to the front line, they can only protect themselves.

The only question now is, who can represent Zhou Xuan to negotiate with the aristocratic family, and their soldiers and horses are "borrowed".

Whether Uncle Liu or Monday, in the final analysis, he was just a servant of the Zhou family and could not represent the head of the Zhou family at all.

Xiahouba and the others are foreigners, so they can't speak at all in the local area.

While everyone in the Zhou family was discussing.

He Yingning stood up and said, "I'll do it."

Everyone looked at this beautiful woman in surprise.

He Yingning wore an emerald green gown and pearl earrings, her temperament became a little more elegant than before.

Xiahouba, and the other Miao Zhu looked a little surprised.

Just when everyone was wondering, a trace of whiteness flashed across He Yingning's face, and then his appearance changed into that of Zhou Xuan.

"Isn't it enough to change into Zhou Xuan's appearance?" He Yingning said with a smile.

"But..." Monday hesitated.

He Yingning can be said to be the elders of Zhou Yi and the others, and they respect this woman from the bottom of their hearts.

But resemblance in appearance may not necessarily imitate Zhou Xuan's behavior style, what if the situation cannot be controlled.

"Don't worry, I know Zhou Xuan very well."

As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped saying anything.

The next day, Jiangnan County Yamen.

Under the auspices of the county guard, the heads of various aristocratic families in Jiangnan County rushed over.

Most of the people present were middle-aged people, only Zhou Xuan had a young face.

As the saying goes, if you don't have hair on your lips, you can't do things well, and everyone didn't have much fear of the young man in front of them.

"Is everyone here?" He Yingning asked with a smile.

"The Zhang family and the Li family said they were busy with business, so they didn't send anyone over," Zhou Yi said.

Both the Zhang family and the Zhou family are well-known big families in Jiangnan County, and the children in the family are from all walks of life.

"Send someone to remind you again." He Yingning turned to the others and said, "In that case, let's talk first."

"Presumably the county guard has conveyed my meaning. Now that Dongshan County is occupied by bandits, other counties will also be affected. As a regiment training envoy, I should eliminate the banditry."

"Should you and other local gentry also set an example?"

"I don't know what your lord means?"

"Each family took out two-thirds of the nursing homes, and at the same time provided the money and food to support these nursing homes for three months, as well as related weapons and armor."

As soon as these words came out, an old man with shrewd eyes stood up, cupped his hands and said:
"Your Excellency, you are joking. I am waiting for a small family. Where can I find swords, guns and armor? These are the belongings of the army. Ordinary people will be beheaded if they keep them privately."

"Yeah, Mr. Niu is right. How can a small household have these things? There are only a few long-term workers in the family, and the nursing home has no money to hire them."

"Of course you can go to the Zhang family and the Li family, they are much richer than us."

Everyone shrugged off.

Of course, there are still some people in solidarity.

"Little man, I am willing to donate 100 taels to help my lord eliminate banditry."

"The Lu family donated twenty loads of food."

From their point of view, Zhou Xuan was a young man who was ignorant of worldly affairs, and the reason why he became a regiment training envoy at a young age was because of his relationship with the county guard.

It seems more reasonable, and it should be one of the easier to fool.

He Yingning just sat with a smile on his face and didn't speak, making it hard to see what was going on in his heart.

Just when everyone said they wanted to donate money and food, Tuesday came over, holding two large boxes in his hands, and there was a faint smell of blood.

Everyone felt a little bad, and suddenly fell silent.

"Everyone." He Yingning patted the table, "I just received a message that the two families still haven't come."

"This is a moment of life and death. If the two families continue to push the blame like this, they must be colluding with foreign enemies. According to the laws of Qi, those who collude with foreign enemies will be executed. So..."

He Yingning slowly opened the box, her tone was flat, with a penetrating chill, and other people present were sweating.

Could it be that in this box is...

The moment the box was opened, two dead heads stared at them closely.

"Mother..." An old man fainted from fright.

These two turned out to be the heads of the two Patriarchs, and they were still steaming, so they should not have died for long.

Both of these two families have people in the imperial court. What is the identity of this young man in front of him?
Simply daring.

"I hope everyone can take this as a warning. If you collude with foreign enemies, you can shirk and quit. You will be like these two people."

…………

In the depths of Shenxiao Palace, Zhou Xuan sat cross-legged, the left half of his body showed a bright red color, and the right half of his body was azure blue.

The whole person seems to be divided into two halves, one side exudes a scorching breath, and the other side flows majestic power.

When the two forces are added together, there is a sense of alternation between yin and yang.

Where yin and yang meet, a mysterious energy is born.

With Zhou Xuan as the center, with Zhou Xuan as the center, a wave of greenery spreads all around.

In just a few seconds, a layer of moss grew on the stone of Shenxiao Palace.

Click click!

The floor cracked slowly, and countless weeds and trees took root and sprouted instantly, growing into two or three meters tall trees.

Zhou Xuan seemed to be in a dense jungle.

He has been sitting here for nearly a week without eating a single grain, completely immersed in deep meditation.

The body is thinning at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the skin and bones are faintly visible.

If you don't cultivate to a high level, your body will not change, and you will be a mortal body after all.

If you don't eat for such a long time, you will inevitably lose energy, and you will even starve to death in the end.

Zhou Xuan has already meditated at a deep level now, and there are only two results, breakthrough failure or breakthrough success.

Once there is any mistake, it will lead to eternal doom.

As time passed, another week passed.

Zhou Xuan became thinner and thinner, his appearance was haggard, like a mummified corpse.

In the spiritual world, Zhou Xuan closed his eyes tightly, and a red light flashed across his face from time to time, revealing a look of pain.

At this moment, Zhou Xuan's emotions were already filled with flames, as if his body was being burned by a raging fire.

After the flames came thunder, but fortunately, the body would turn into coke in the next second.

The two forces blend and repel each other in the body.

At the same time, a force from somewhere descended on this world.

A sacred, great, and terrifying invisible force swept over.

This is the way of heaven.

Terrible than all horrors, greater than all greats.

All-encompassing, all-encompassing.

An extremely strong flow of information poured into Zhou Xuan's mind.

The information flow was so huge that Zhou Xuan lost consciousness at the moment of contact.

The knowledge of the ten libraries is all stuffed in one's head, and it is conceivable that it is not something normal people can bear.

Amidst the chaos, Zhou Xuan calmed down.

One after another golden text lingers around, which is exactly what the Taishang Laojun said about the Sutra of Chang Qing Jing.

"There is no stillness in silence, how can desire be born; if desire is not born, it is true tranquility"

The realm of constant tranquility is naturally the highest in cultivating the mind.

As long as you cultivate to this level, there is still hope for the future.

What is always pure and pure is "true and constant response to things, true and constant attainment of nature; constant response to constant tranquility, constant tranquility."

Only when you are always quiet can you see your true nature.

Everything is empty, everything is empty.

If the heart can see through, even if it is thunder and fire, it can pass through calmly.

Boom!

There was an explosion in Zhou Xuan's mind.

The power of flames and the true qi of Tiangang circulated in the body, and the route was Ren Du's second channel.

From then on, the "Little Zhoutian" was formed.

At the same time, a ray of golden light came from the pitch-black world, and words popped out one by one as if they had opened up the world, and appeared in front of Zhou Xuan.

"When the sky sends out murderous intent, the stars change places; when the earth sends murderous intent, dragons and snakes rise from the land; when humans send murderous intent, the heaven and earth change; when heaven and man cooperate, all transformations establish their foundations."
