Chapter 146 - Blending into the Taiping
Long Xiangtian came to see Liu Biao and informed him about the Taiping Road.
"I know that Taiping Dao is a Taoist force that has only emerged in recent years, because of the belief in what Huang Taiyi's immortals, so the Taiping sect will tie a yellow scarf on their heads, it is said that the leader of Taiping Dao is called a great sage and good teacher, quite miraculous, good at talismans, can cure many diseases, because of its selfless talisman to save people, has been supported by many people. Liu Biao said.
Long Xiangtian asked, "Uncle Liu, do you know how many people believe in this Taiping Tao now?"
Liu Biao said with a smile: "There should be people in the eight states where the vitality is unbalanced, but they are all immortals outside the city, and they have gained some Taiping Dao benefits, so it is not surprising to believe in it." ”
Long Xiangtian said: "Uncle Liu, I heard that this outbreak of vitality imbalance is the most serious one since the creation of Xianhan, a total of eight states are affected by the vitality imbalance, originally a city outside of a thousand miles at most in the vitality imbalance, but the adjacent cities erupted together, so that the vitality imbalance land is connected together, expanding the scope of impact, causing very serious harm. ”
Liu Biao nodded and said: "Indeed, it is really rare for multiple states to break out at the same time this time, but fortunately, because of the timely management, I have not heard of a Yuan Beast King at the level of returning to the void in any place." ”
Long Xiangtian asked: "Affected by natural disasters, the immortals outside the city in many places have been forced to leave their hometowns and have no fixed residence, for them, how are the government offices of various prefectures and counties resettled?"
And Liu Biao's words made Long Xiangtian very disappointed, for these immortals who were affected outside the city, the officials of various states and counties had no intention of taking care of it at all, because although the number of immortals outside the city was huge, their residences were relatively scattered, and it was quite inconvenient to manage, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources, so that the officials were not willing to do such a thankless thing at all.
Long Xiangtian couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that these immortals just let them suffer, and the people are not afraid of stirring up a rebellion if the people are not happy?"
Liu Biao said disapprenously: "It's just a group of immortals outside the city who are mostly monks in the Qi refining period, what big waves can be stirred, if there is really a rebellion, the armies of the states and counties can completely suppress them, you don't have to worry about this Xiangtian." ”
Long Xiangtian found that Liu Biao didn't care about the growth of the Taiping Dao power at all, obviously Liu Biao underestimated the harm caused by this large-scale imbalance of vitality, and Liu Biao did not take the immortals outside the city to heart, and let the displaced immortals go, which Long Xiangtian did not want to see.
So Long Xiangtian began to persuade Liu Biao to help the immortals outside the city, and Liu Biao said: "Xiangtian, you want to help the immortals outside the city is good, but you must know that even if I give orders to the county officials here and ask them to help those immortals, they may not necessarily comply, and it is necessary to spend a lot of spirit coins to help the immortals outside the city, to settle a place for them to live, and to give them spirit coins, Pills, few officials are willing to take out their own storage bags for these things, and even if this spirit coin comes from my main city, they will fill their pockets behind their backs, so it's not that Uncle Liu doesn't care, but it's really hard to manage, and they can't manage it. ”
Hearing this answer, Long Xiangtian's heart suddenly cooled, he didn't expect Liu Biao to be so irresponsible to the immortals outside the city, and couldn't help but think: If even Uncle Liu is such a person, then the officials of other states and counties can also imagine what kind of attitude it will be, so it is strange that the world is not in chaos.
Then Liu Biao said: " The tradition of my Xianhan is that each state and county does its own thing, although the leader of the alliance rules the world, but does not interfere in the actions of the states and counties, the same you Uncle Liu Although I am the lord of Jingzhou, I will not interfere in the affairs of each county and county to manage within a county, so how the counties deal with the immortals outside the city depends on how they do it, fortunately, my Jingzhou is not greatly affected by the imbalance of vitality, and only the area of Jingbei is affected, as long as I Jingzhou is safe and sound, how serious the imbalance of vitality in other states and counties is the business of other states and counties. ”
Long Xiangtian found that Liu Biao only wanted to defend one side, and did not have the ambition to help the world, and did not take the Taiping Dao forces in his eyes at all, which made Long Xiangtian think worriedly: It is precisely because the officials of these counties and counties do not understand the true intentions of the Taiping Dao at all, but think that the Taiping Dao Fu Fu is beneficial to the Xianhan, so they do not pay attention to it, which leads to the Taiping Dao forces to grow even stronger, so that the Xianhan will suffer from it sooner or later!
persuaded Liu Biao to no avail, Long Xiangtian had to find another way.
Now that the Taiping Dao is still growing in power, and it is not yet time to launch an uprising, Long Xiangtian thought to himself: It is better to take this opportunity to break into the interior of the Taiping Dao, find out their plans, and find an opportunity to expose their conspiracy.
Long Xiangtian felt that he could pretend to be an ordinary immortal who believed in the Taiping Dao, and hoped to join the Taiping Dao, because of the Sealed Hidden Pearl, Long Xiangtian could hide his cultivation and make them think that he was just a little monk in the Qi refining period.
Long Xiangtian returned to his room, looked at the Zhongtian Ding he got back from the furnace world, thought about it, and felt that this method could be used, so he felt that he would give it a try, even if he was recognized, with the fact that he was a real person in Jindan, it would be easy to escape.
So Long Xiangtian said goodbye to Liu Biao, and also said to his eldest brother Liao Hua and second brother Wu Dun, saying that they were going out to practice, and then went to find a place for Taiping Dao activities.
I heard Liu Biao say that the imbalance of vitality in Jingbei is more serious, so Long Xiangtian came to Jingzhou North County to see if there were any traces of Taiping Dao's activities. Long Xiangtian hasn't been here for a long time, and when he thought that the county guard of Beijun was still alive and well, Long Xiangtian was angry in his heart, but there was no way, he was Yuanying Zhenjun, and he was Liu Biao's nephew, Long Xiangtian couldn't fight him now.
Sure enough, along the way, Long Xiangtian found that many Taiping Daoists wearing yellow scarves were distributing rune paper and spreading teachings, and many immortals outside the city were surrounding them, waiting for the rune paper to be given and listen to the teachings, looking at the Taiping Dao people with smiles on their faces one by one, Long Xiangtian couldn't help but think: Look at your harmless appearance of humans and animals now, maybe one will be more ruthless than the other in the future!
In order to prevent exposure, Long Xiangtian had already put the battle armor on his body in the storage wrench, and the clothes on his body were also borrowed from the subordinates in the city lord's mansion, and now Long Xiangtian was dressed like an ordinary immortal, so Long Xiangtian went to get the rune paper presented by Taiping Dao to see what effect this rune paper had.
Long Xiangtian successfully received a piece of yellow rune paper from Taiping Road, Long Xiangtian walked to the corner where no one was looking carefully, and found that this rune paper was covered with mysterious formation runes, Long Xiangtian didn't expect that such a small piece of ordinary rune paper had such a fine rune seal engraved on it, Long Xiangtian asked Cangming to see what effect this rune paper had.
"Master, the runes on this rune paper are mainly able to store the wood element force, through the operation of the above formation, as long as there is a monk with the true element contact, the wood element power stored in it can be introduced into their own body, and the effect is to use the vitality of the wood element force to alleviate or repair the damage of the body, so as to achieve the purpose of recuperation. Cangming said.
Long Xiangtian thought to himself: I see, no wonder this rune paper will be popular with so many immortals, it turns out to be equivalent to a healing talisman! There are not many people who can manipulate the wood yuan power, so there are very few people who can cast healing spells, if the immortals who are depleted of the true yuan are sick, it is difficult to find a doctor to treat them, but if there are people who know wood spells to introduce the wood yuan power into this rune paper, it is equivalent to a life-saving medicine, although this practice is only a symptom but not a cure, but what do the immortals outside the city care about if they are tormented!
"The production of this rune paper is very fine, and it also has to input the wood yuan power into it, ordinary people can't do it, there are such strange people in Taiping Dao? To make so many and useful rune paper, it must not be very easy, the person who made these rune paper is really quite patient for the Taiping Dao!" Long Xiangtian couldn't help but muttered to himself.
Long Xiangtian thought for a while, and almost forgot about the business, so he took advantage of the crowd to blend in with the crowd, at this time, many immortals expressed their willingness to join the Taiping Dao, and the people of the Taiping Dao tied a yellow turban on their heads, and Long Xiangtian also participated in the ranks of those who wanted to join, and was tied with a yellow scarf on the head of a Taiping Dao person in the foundation building realm who did not look very old. After that, those Taiping Dao people asked everyone to go back, and tomorrow they came again to listen to the teachings and receive the talisman paper, Long Xiangtian thought to himself: At this rate, when will he be able to blend into the Taiping Dao? Those people didn't agree at first, but Long Xiangtian used the rune paper as a breakthrough, saying that although he was only a minor monk in the Qi refining period, he was born to control the Yuan Force of Mu, and lied that his home had been destroyed by a thunderstorm and was helpless, hoping that Taiping Dao could take him in.
Sure enough, as Long Xiangtian expected, those people heard that Long Xiangtian would control the Yuan Force of the wood, and their eyes lit up, as if they had found a treasure, they agreed with Long Xiangtian to go with them after a few words, and took Long Xiangtian to meet their leader.
Long Xiangtian was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that he would be able to see Zhang Jiao so soon. Long Xiangtian felt that this Zhang Jiao was very likely to be another apprentice accepted by Master Nanhua, just like Master Yu Ji accepted Sun Ce as an apprentice, and Master Zuo Ci accepted Cao Cao as an apprentice, Long Xiangtian didn't know whether Zhang Jiao's organization of Taiping Dao acted according to Master Nanhua's intentions, and he wanted to see him, in case he guessed wrong, then pretend to the end, anyway, Zhang Jiao has never seen himself.
Later, from the conversation with these Taiping Dao people, Long Xiangtian learned that they were just a small leader in the entire Taiping Dao, and their leader who they wanted to take Long Xiangtian to see was just a small leader of the Taiping Dao, although Long Xiangtian was not very satisfied with this result, but he was not too disappointed, after all, he had already succeeded partially, and there was an opportunity next, and Long Xiangtian's purpose was not just to see Zhang Jiao, but to find out the future plans of the Taiping Dao people, so that Xian Han could prepare early.
