On the other hand, the remaining two people saw that the situation was not good, and swung their swords to attack from behind, Zhou Heng had to withdraw the Qinggang Sword to assist in the defense, fortunately, the skills of the two people were not high, and the Qinggang Sword fell to the ground in a flash, but due to distraction, the attack of the bearded Daoist was already close at hand! Zhou Heng also gathered his mana all over his body, and slowly pressed the mana back again, and the bearded Daoist also fought back, and it didn't take long to gain the upper hand again.

And at this moment, a red black cloud suddenly floated in the sky, and I saw that this dark cloud was coming very quickly, but it was said that it was coming in an instant!

At such a critical juncture, Zhou Heng turned his heart sideways, raised all his mana, and attacked with all his strength, and in a moment, he pressed the mana in front of him to the front of the bearded Daoist, and then asked for a yang finger to conjure up a finger and point it at the opponent's Tiantu Life Acupoint, and suddenly, he saw the bearded Daoist on the other side screaming and falling to the ground with a bang.

Suddenly, just when Zhou Heng was about to point and kill the bearded Daoist, suddenly, a cold and piercing demon wind blew in front of him, and he saw that the Qinggang sword controlled by Zhou Heng's divine sense flashed twice, and the cold and biting demon wind actually penetrated into the cold bone marrow, just this moment, Zhou Heng knew that it was not good, hurriedly withdrew his divine sense, and flew towards the large array arranged in advance!

A vicious chill came, and in an instant, he felt like a lightning strike on his back, and his whole body trembled! Zhou Heng gritted his teeth and flew forward two feet away, and then fell into the formation with a "bang".

Immediately afterwards, I saw Zhou Heng gritting his teeth and crawling into the center of the big array, lying there unable to move.

The piercing pain spread from the big vertebral acupoint, gradually reaching the entire waist and back, and the pain was heart-wrenching, and Zhao Min, who was hiding in the big array, also appeared, looked at him anxiously, and said in a low voice: "Zhou Lang, how are you?"

I saw Zhou Heng on the side and said with difficulty: "Quickly give me the pill in my arms." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Min hurriedly took it out of his arms and put it in his mouth.

And as soon as this elixir entered the abdomen, a stream of hot air suddenly arose from the abdomen, and Zhou Heng controlled the mana torrent to run between the two veins of Ren Du.

And the mana converged, from the bottom to the top, when he arrived at the big spine and Tao Dao, he kept urging the mana, and after a long time, the two acupuncture points were barely passed, and then Zhou Heng let the mana walk in the place where the sun meridian was foot, and then walked all the acupuncture points on the waist and back, and then felt much better.

Zhou Heng knew in his heart that this time thanks to the spirit rune technique taught to him by the master, especially the spirit rune he drew on the body of Qinggang Jianjian, if it wasn't for the spirit rune that alleviated the opponent's attack, he was afraid that it would be more auspicious, the other party's skill was too high, and the master's spirit rune could only block part of the attack, so he was still injured, and he was frightened.

Zhou Heng secretly decided in his heart that every time he went out to fight in the future, he must draw spirit runes on his body and try not to get hurt again, the taste of injury is really uncomfortable.

And at this moment, he saw a short and fat monk walking around the courtyard, the crooked crescent moon sprinkled a faint light, shining on the monk's face full of fat, the bald head with ring scars, the eyes narrowed into a slit, and a string of prayer beads made of baby parietal bones hanging around his neck.

Zhou Heng was "groaned" in his heart when he saw it, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to get along now

Sure enough, not long after, the monk found the bearded Taoist Yuanying from the corner of the courtyard and asked a few words in a low voice.

I saw the bearded Taoist Yuan Ying on the side, whose voice was sharp and thin, and he cried intermittently: "Master.....! My disciple was destroyed by a man, his body was ruined, his way was cut off, and the man who killed me was emaciated and his face was gray......"

And the monk was silent, and took out a skull jade bottle without smiling, and recited some inappropriate incantations to the bearded Taoist Yuan Ying.

The bearded Taoist Yuan Ying was a little frightened, turned around and wanted to escape, but he didn't escape a few steps and was put into the monk's skeleton jade bottle.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Heng, who was sitting in the big array and meditating, couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, he regretted that he couldn't kill the bearded Taoist Yuanying, and now he was taken away by the monk and demon monk, but he was afraid that he would be refined into a powerful ghost and come to oppose him.

I saw the monk on the side walking around the courtyard a few times, but he couldn't find Zhou Heng's shadow.

He couldn't help but feel anxious, so he lit a fire around him and rode the clouds to watch in the air.

Zhou Heng in the big array saw that the fire on one side was getting bigger and bigger, and after a while, the whole courtyard was on fire, and it was still spreading outward, and after a while, the people of the whole city were alarmed, and everyone took buckets to fight the fire, but the fire was too big to be rescued at all, but fortunately there was no wind, otherwise the entire Chang'an City was only afraid of a sea of fire, and even then it burned down the connected half of the street.

Suddenly, Zhou Heng was resentful in his heart, these demons had really lost their conscience, and they must not be merciful when they encountered them in the future! At the same time, he did not forget to remind himself that if he fought in a place where no one was around, he could not bring disasters to the people like now.

Zhou Heng saw that the fire was raging all around, only the place where the big array was arranged did not catch fire, and the monk and demon monk were watching from the air, so he simply withdrew the formation and hid in the cellar where the jade was hidden in the jade shop before, so that the part of the ground was engulfed in flames.

After waiting for a long time, the raging fire that struck Chang'an was finally extinguished, and the dust on the ground was a foot thick.

And the monk saw that no one had come out, and it was estimated that Zhou Heng was dead, and finally took off in the clouds.

After a long time, Zhou Heng took out the turtle mirror from the storage space to inspect it, and found that the black color in the mirror had completely receded, so he walked out of the cellar to check around, but soon found several piles of residual bones in the yard, and next to each pile of residual bones was a small sword with a length of three inches. One of the silver swords was located where the bearded man had fallen, and the three bronze swords belonged to the three men, and there were a few iron swords left behind by the rest of the guards.

Zhou Heng put away these small swords, thinking of the words he heard in the Vermilion Bird Lake, he couldn't help but guess in his heart: "These Xuanyin disciples are probably divided into different levels, the skill of wearing the silver sword is higher, the bronze sword is inferior, and the iron sword is even worse, that monk is only afraid that he is one of the so-called protectors, and the protectors are already so powerful, but I don't know what will happen to the sect master above the protectors, the sect master?"

At this moment, he felt that the strength of the enemy was unimaginably high.

However, despite this, Zhou Heng was not discouraged, you must know that every other layer of Dao cultivation has a lot of differences in strength, even in the early and middle stages of the same layer, there is a big gap. He can't judge which level the monk has reached at the moment, maybe it's just two or three levels higher than himself, he is still young, he has only just cultivated for many years, and Zhou Heng has the huge resources of the heavens and all the worlds, although the other party is a centuries-old demon, given time, it is difficult to say who will kill the deer!

Thinking about it like this, he was not worried but happy, after dawn, Zhou Heng took off his mask and left Chang'an, and it was only the sixth day of the first lunar month, and there were still ten days to wander outside.

Zhou Heng and Zhao Min didn't have to hurry, he didn't ride a horse, and he didn't resist the wind, so they walked so easily on the road from Chang'an to Luoyang, relaxing and enjoying the rare peace.

Zhou Heng and Zhao Min walked on the road, and he kept thinking about a question: "In this Great Zhou world, where are the countless decent immortals and virtuous monks in the world, why do they make this Xuanyin Sect dominant, for example, Zhou Heng's Qingcheng faction, a total of more than 30 people have become immortals in the past thousand years, if those immortals can come back three or five, how can they worry about the Xuanyin Sect causing trouble, if the immortals have two paths, they must leave the world if they become immortals, why can the powerful demon and evil monks of the Xuanyin Sect do evil in the world?" Suddenly, he had a new idea: "Since the turtle mirror can detect demons, it should also be able to find decent immortals! Why not try it?" So he quickly took out the turtle mirror and looked at it.

However, the result made him regretful, he couldn't look left and right, he thought: "Hmph, if the color of the turtle mirror turns black when the demon comes, then the immortal may turn white, but the turtle mirror is originally white, and it can no longer be white! It seems that the immortal is hard to find, just like the high monk and the Holy Mother of Kunlun I met before, they have all instructed me, isn't it also a disguised restriction of this Xuanyin Sect? Heavenly Dao cycle, karma, I believe that the Xuanyin Sect will always be destroyed!"

Zhou Heng thought of this, he felt a lot more relaxed, and then he recited the "Qianling Tao Te Ching" while walking, and after reciting it ten times very religiously, suddenly, he felt that something on his body had faintly crossed from his body to Zhao Min's body beside him, which was probably the luck that Our Lady of Kunlun said, looked at him with a smile, and said: "Thank you Zhou Lang, this scripture is really effective!" In the past, I have been cultivating internal strength for many years, and only six of the eight meridians of the whole body have been opened, but today I just resumed my cultivation, and the remaining two meridians have a feeling, and it seems that I will be able to open up soon!"

Zhou Heng said with some joy: "When the eight veins of the Qi Jing are all opened, you can try to open up the six yin veins! ”

Zhao Min's bright eyes on the side flashed with hope, and he said softly: "I'm really looking forward to that day." ”

Zhou Heng quipped: "What's the matter?

Zhou Heng glanced at him, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that some people will be disgusted." ”

After she finished speaking, she turned her head with a shy face, on the thirteenth day of the first month, Zhou Heng returned to Qingle County, and asked people to summon the county's Xiucai and famous gentry to come to the county government to discuss matters, and more than 20 people came, and only three Xiucai came.

Zhou Heng first invited everyone to sit down, and then said: "I invite you to come this time to solve two things, one is the issue of the candidates for the six houses of this county's 'officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers'. Now there is Wang Ji in the household, Li Tianle in the military room, Zheng Long in the torture room, and there is still a shortage of candidates for the third room, please recommend yourself, or recommend others, and the supervisor of the sixth room is the position of the eighth grade, and the salary is not low, everyone is welcome!"

Zhou Heng first selected three people, let them each be responsible for a room, and found someone to enrich the headquarters, and then said that it would be checked once every six months, and the excellent ones would be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and the bad ones would be dismissed immediately.

After this matter was over, Zhou Heng said: "The second thing is the education problem of the county, you must know that the education of Tongmeng cannot be wasted, in February next year, I will hold the county's children's examination! I hope that in the future, the county can also produce a few people and jinshi." ”

Suddenly, everyone discussed: "Master, now that there is a lot of waste to be rebuilt, there is no place to live, how to run a school?"

And Zhou Heng thought about it, and decided to build a academy behind the county government, select fifty talented and intelligent students to live for free, study poetry and books, and increase some tuition fees as appropriate when the situation improves in the future.

Hearing this, everyone was full of praise: "Haha, the old man is still bold! This will cost a lot of money!"

Wait until the eighteenth day of the first month, Zhou Heng ordered the people to dig the moat, in about a week later, the moat was dug up, at this time in Qingle County, there are strong city walls outside, there are small bridges and flowing water inside, the scenery is beautiful, a pastoral town's flavor, and so on in early spring February, the earth has just begun to sprout spring, a group of white seagulls fly directly to the county, they fanned their light wings in a chic manner, drawing a wonderful arc in the air one after another, flying so entangled, so deep.

At this time, Zhou Heng on the side personally reviewed the location and asked the people to build nineteen beacon towers on the coastline of Qingle County, which stretched for more than 100 miles. Each beacon sent ten people to watch day and night, carefully observing every move in the border sea.

In addition, he ordered Nanqunfang to recruit a militia of 800 people, strengthen training, and selected the most simple and practical ten moves from the seventy-two styles of Qingcheng swordsmanship, and passed them on to Nanqunfang with slight changes, so that he could teach them to the people of the militia.

When Zhou Heng and Zhao Min were busy with these, it was the spring ploughing season, Zhou Heng and Zhao Min inspected the county and found that crops had been planted wherever they could be cultivated, but there were too many mountains in the county, only some plains near the sea, but the sea water was easy to inflow in places where the terrain was too low, and the harvest was difficult to guarantee.

Zhou Heng and Zhao Min observed for a long time, he felt that if a sea pond was built on the beach at low tide to block the irrigation of seawater, hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land could be added.

After all, the construction of the sea pond is a major event, and the people of the whole county need to be recruited, so Zhou Heng posted a notice: Anyone who participates in the construction of the sea pond will receive three taels of silver per person per month, and the notice has been posted to the nearby Qingkang, Qinglin and other counties.

After the spring ploughing was completed, the sea pond was officially built, and on the first day, more than 100,000 people came, dividing the seaside into dozens of sections to work at the same time.

Zhou Heng first asked the outside of the sea pond to be built with stones, two zhang wide and two zhang high, and built with mud inside, three zhang wide and two zhang five feet high, but fortunately, there is a mountain nearby, and there are many stones on the mountain, and the requirements for stones are not as strict as when building the city wall. Finally, some of the stones were so strange that they couldn't fit in and were piled up at the base of the pond.

You must know that this sea pond was very difficult to repair, and in some places, Zhou Heng personally went into battle to build it. Even so, more than 100,000 people have only been able to build more than 50 miles in a month, but fortunately, these have been able to play their role independently, and they can add 300,000 acres of fertile land by the sea.

It was not until the autumn harvest that he ordered everyone to suspend construction, and eight months of busy days passed.

These days, Zhou Heng has recited the "Qianling Tao Te Ching" several times every night, and then devoted himself to cultivating the practice of refining the gods and returning the void. His current strength has reached the point where he can fly five hundred miles in one go, and his divine sense has become faint. If he passed the eighteenth layer, the Yuan Infant would completely turn into the void, and he would be able to enter the Yuan Infant Stage, and he could soar away from the clouds and soar freely in the sky.

Zhou Heng first carefully set up a formation in the inner house of the county government, and then gently lifted Zhao Min's beautiful ** on the side and placed it flat on the side of the bed, exposing white jade-like fingers. The ankle put Zhao Min's three fingers on the veins of her hand, and carefully checked the situation of the six yin veins, but found that the six yin veins were broken in the place where the acupoints merged, and the places that were originally meridians became muscles, and the situation was like a stream flowing down from the mountain, flowing to the mountainside and suddenly blocked by the mountain, stopping in the valley and unable to vent, such a special physique, no wonder those people from the Xuanyin Sect would come to Zhao Min.

After Zhou Heng understood, he said to Zhao Min on the side: "You sit cross-legged first, sink your shoulders and elbows, your tongue against the roof of your mouth, and keep your dantian!"

Zhao Min on the side obediently lay into the bed and sat down next to Zhou Heng.

I saw Zhou Heng on the side condensing his mana and reciting the "Qianling Tao Te Ching" three times, which puffed up her six yin veins. Then he stepped on Yu Bu, and pointed at the Shaoshang acupoint on the inside of the big finger of Zhao Min's left hand, and a strong true qi ascended from Shaoshang, passing through Yuji, Taiyuan to Qize, stopping there and it was difficult to continue to ascend He urged mana.

Zhou Heng first greatly increased the meridian qi of the Qi Ze acupoint, and then slammed back and forth countless times before the blocked meridians rushed out of a narrow channel, and then he gradually widened the channel until he stopped like a normal person.

At this point, Zhao Min's left hand Taiyin Lung Meridian has finally penetrated. Then the right hand Taiyin Lung Sutra, half an hour later, the right hand Taiyin Meridian was also passed, at this time Zhou Heng felt a little tired, rested the tea kung fu, he pointed his index finger at the hidden white acupoint on the inside of Lan'er's left big finger, the mana passed through the Dadu, Taibai, and Diji acupoints, stopped at Yinling Spring, he continued to urge mana, running back and forth in Yinling Spring.

After a long time, he finally found a channel thinner than the silk thread, he transported the mana torrent to gradually expand the channel, and finally reached the width of a normal person, after which the mana was no longer hindered, and the journey stopped at the dantian, because the foot Taiyin and spleen meridians were very long, and the time it took for the mana to run once was far more than the hand Taiyin and lung meridians, so it took him an hour to open this meridian, during which Zhou Heng rested for half an hour, and he mustered up his spare strength to open up the other side. Another hour passed, and the other side was also opened, and at this time, Zhao Min's hands and feet were all connected, and two of the six yin veins had been connected.

Zhao Min on the side looked at him sweating profusely, and was busy wiping it for him, she didn't say anything, but that gentle and grateful gaze had said everything.

Zhou Heng took a breath and said, "That's all here today, and tomorrow I'll open up your hands and feet and less yin veins." ”

Zhou Heng nodded, turned around and went out, and when he came back, he served the brewed "Qingshan Yellow Buds", his eyes were full of tenderness.

Zhou Heng took a sip first, but he felt that his mouth was fragrant and refreshing, and he didn't know if it was the reason for the good tea, or he was happy for Zhao Min's progress.

During the day, when he went to inspect the autumn harvest of the people, he walked alone on the ridge of the field, and suddenly heard the shouting of the field, and when he looked closely, he saw a swarthy man cutting rice shirtless.

Zhou Heng on the side walked up a few steps and asked loudly, "This old brother, how is this year's harvest?"

And when the man saw that it was actually the county lord who came, he almost knelt down in that paddy field.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Heng waved his hand from afar, and saw that the man on the side couldn't kneel, so he had to come over, bow down and say: "This year is good, it can be regarded as a smooth wind and rain, there is no catastrophe, and the harvest is much better than in previous years." ”
