If it weren't for the notice posted by the owner of the village, it is estimated that no one would believe it. Because even if it's bragging, more or less it has to be on the side, and even the captured prisoners are counted as only 30,000 people, so if you want to build a country, who will believe it!
But now, the things that can't be bragged about have become true, and the owner of Lu Dazhai, who has always been low-key, actually announced the whole village, abolished the old law, established the "Shu State", and proclaimed himself emperor. At the same time, there are six ministries, laws and laws, open imperial examinations, seal generals, recover the currencies of "Wu Xingguo", "Southern Zhou Kingdom", "Han Wuguo" and other countries, customize the new currency "Shu Silver Volume", standardize market management, and interfere with merchant pricing......
Outside the newly renovated mansion of the "village owner", there are many people surrounded by the three floors inside and the outside, including old people who are close to old age, naughty children, scholars who are dressed decently, and farmers in coarse linen clothes. Everyone looked at the "notice" on the walls of the house, or read it softly, or twisted their brows in silence, and occasionally whispered talkers obediently shut their mouths under the angry gaze of the guards.
"Hehe, it's not bad, I haven't seen all his mother's literacy for more than ten years!" At the head of a courtyard opposite the owner's mansion, Li Liang poked out half of his head, looked at the bustling crowd, and said with a chuckle.
Climbing the wall is such a fun thing, of course, his four beautiful wives are happy to accompany him, but after climbing up, he feels that it is not as good as Li Liang boasted, and there is a faint feeling of embarrassment.
"Husband, I still don't understand, what is this secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection doing?" Mint glanced at the crowded crowd, then looked at Li Liang, who was full of interest, and tilted his head and thought for a while.
I don't know what Li Liang thinks, after returning to his small courtyard, he plunged into the study, worked for more than a month, wrote a thick pile of "plans", and then led the four daughters-in-law down the mountain, saying that he would assist Lu Dabao to dominate the world. The four daughters-in-law have always been resigned to Li Liang's decision, let alone assist, even if Li Liang wants to participate by himself, they will fully support it.
Unexpectedly, after Li Liang came down the mountain, on the one hand, he instigated Lu Dabao to build the country, and on the other hand, he gave himself a strange "secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission". From ancient times to the present, the wise men who assisted the Ming Lord to achieve the emperor's cause have gone to the sea, they either go out of the mountain as military advisors, or appear as famous generals, or they are relatively low-key, appearing as servants, retinues, doormen, etc., and have never heard of such a strange identity.
"Oh, didn't I tell you, it's that others don't care, I take care of it, others take care of it, I still take care of it, this is the duty of the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. When Li Liang heard this, he said impatiently.
It's just because of such a secretary of the Discipline Inspection Committee, from morning to evening, from the house to the outside of the house, he asks when he is empty, this is the end of the question, isn't it just a new term, modern society can pop up many new terms every day, and I haven't seen any big brother and sister like them ask people's butts, this may be the gap......
"So, what are you in charge of, and what are someone else's in charge?" Mint said as she bit her lip and muttered for a moment.
"Grandma, how do I know what I am in charge of and what others are in charge of!" Li Liang rolled his eyes a little speechlessly.
"Since you don't know what you are in charge of and what others are in charge of, then why do you want to be the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection?" Mint is not happy, you don't know what you should be in charge of and what you shouldn't be in charge of, but you have made a broken name that people can't understand at all, isn't this obviously playing tricks! What is assisting Lu Dabao to dominate the world, in the final analysis, he is still here to have fun, and he really does not change!
"Little ancestor, I'm talking about the future, do you understand in the future? The responsibility of the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection is that if something happens in the future, I will take care of what others don't care about, and I will take care of what others don't care about, understand?" Li Liang slumped his shoulders and explained helplessly.
"I don't understand. Mint blinked and replied bluntly.
"Giggles, it's okay! Sister Mint, you know that your husband is the character of a wilted radish, you look honest, taste spicy, you can't serve it on the table as a dish, and you can't cook a big meal, but you want to argue with him, aren't you asking for hardship?" Seeing this, Fleur chuckled like a silver bell, and then gently patted Mint's arm.
"Who is the wilted radish? Who are you talking about?" Li Liang is not happy, how can you persuade your good sister to say that we are so bad? What about the fucking wilted radish, who have you ever seen with flowers on the wilted radish? The worst thing has to be cow dung level, right?
"Hmph, Sister Furong, I don't think it's very appropriate for you to say that our husband is a wilted turnip......" At this time, Jasmine, who was cold-eyed at the people coming and going, spoke. Since the last incident, this aunt has been cold-faced, and I don't know what she wants, anyway, it's more prickly.
"That's right, you say that I'm such a great old man, how can I be a wilting carrot?" Li Liang was very excited, or the eldest daughter-in-law knew that it hurt people, don't look at the recent period of time The face is drooping for a long time, but the critical moment is still towards him, and the little daughter-in-law who is a few years old is almost a problem.
Suddenly, a stick was inserted, interrupting the words that were about to be spoken, and Jasmine's face sank a little. She glanced at Li Liang lightly, neither agreeing nor objecting, but continued to say: "Sister Furong, although the skin of the wilted radish is wilted, the belly is still crisp, even if it can't be on the table, it's still okay to be a side dish." Our husband's appearance seems to be a little similar to the wilted radish, but the inside of the stomach is not as simple as crisp!"
"Huh?" Li Liang's eyebrows immediately raised when he heard this, and he glared at her angrily. Well, the eldest daughter-in-law is on the verge of defection, the four beauties have the same hatred, and the old buddies are not even as good as a wilted radish!
"Giggles, Sister Jasmine is too good!How can the husband not even compare to a wilted radish?" At this time, Lily, who was listening to the joke next to her, spoke.
Li Liang was excited again, and said that the lover is still good at being old, which is true, look at our little Sayuri, how well-behaved! However, as soon as the joy reached the threshold of his heart, he heard Lily say in a tender voice: "Even if we all know that he can't compare, we as wives can't say it in front of him."
"Stay away!" Li Liang was so angry in his heart, a good life was just a few years after his mother's good, and the daughters-in-law learned badly, looking at their mouths, scolding people without dirty words, and I don't know which Wang Balamb taught them, it's really bad.
"Giggle......
Seeing that Li Liang was finally deflated, the beauties laughed coquettishly. Since the last disagreement, such a bickering story has happily risen in the Li family, although it seems that there is a contradiction, but in fact, their husband and wife feelings are deeper. After more than ten years of ordinary life, more than ten years of getting along day and night, bidding farewell to the stirring enthusiasm, and stepping into sweet love, the four daughters unconsciously discovered another beauty of love, and also felt happiness in this beauty.
"Master, master! Lord...... , you, which one are you playing?" At this time, Tianma hurriedly ran over, perhaps because there was something urgent, and he shouted loudly when he was far away. However, after running away, he suddenly stood in surprise and asked with a frown.
"Which one? Don't you see this? The four wicked women are playing stupid old men!" Li Liang gently took a sip of phlegm and said viciously.
"Ah? Yesterday, didn't you play it yesterday? Uh, no, I didn't mean this, it's you, your feet ......" Tianma was stunned for a moment, couldn't help muttering, then shook his head, pointed to Li Liang's feet and said.
"Down, what's going on underneath?" Li Liang looked down from where he was pointing, only to see that the wooden ladder under his feet had been destroyed at some point, and he was suspended in mid-air. He was slightly stunned, and just wanted to mobilize his mana to maintain his floating state, when he suddenly felt a scorching hot qi surging up his inner body, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden. Immediately after, a thick black and foul blood spurted out of his nose and mouth, shooting straight out several feet away.
"Master!"
"Husband!"
When Tianma, Jasmine and the others saw this, they were frightened, and they surrounded him in a flash, stroking their chests and smashing their backs, and their mouths and gossips became a mess.
"Don't, don't make a noise, dizzy, want to vomit ......" just spurted out thick blood, Li Liang was already very uncomfortable, everyone made such a noise, they felt that their heads were like ten thousand needles, their flesh was like steel knives scraping, and their whole body was numb and painful, especially in the abdomen, the qi and blood were like boiling oil, rushing upwards one by one.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Li Liang spitting out thick blood from his mouth and his face as white as paper, Jasmine hurriedly released her divine sense to explore his physical condition. Unexpectedly, the terrifying anti-shock force that had just released his divine sense was immediately pressed back. At the same time, a thick stream of blood spurted out of his mouth, and it seemed to be aimed at the target, gathering strength, and coming quickly.
Seeing this, Jasmine was secretly taken aback in her heart, with her powerful divine sense, let alone a low-level cultivator like Li Liang, even the existence of the Holy Ancestor level also wanted to probe it, if there was a backshock, there were two possibilities, one was that she was carrying a strange treasure, and the other was the divine sense of the person being explored, which was stronger than her, however, the "Void Heaven Continent" had not heard of such an existence so far.
There was no way to probe, and the thick blood spurted out towards herself, Jasmine naturally turned her divine sense, wanting to investigate the situation of the thick blood, but just touched the thick blood, a devouring force immediately locked her divine consciousness like a vicious wolf biting its prey, and then quickly absorbed the aura of the surrounding heaven and earth, compressed, condensed, compressed, and condensed again.
"It's not good, retreat!" Seeing this, Jasmine hurriedly let out a low cry, pushed the void with both hands, and her figure flashed slightly, and disappeared from the spot. And with the help of her prompts and thrust, Gastrodia, mint, hibiscus, and lilies also dodged away.
After the flint light stone was crossed, the thick blood that flew out of the outlet reached the place where Jasmine had just crouched. There was a muffled sound of "boom", and a large black space hole appeared, in which there were faint dots of starlight and bright milky ways, and there was an inexplicable gloom, which made Jasmine and the others feel a burst of heartbeat.
"Daughter-in-law, I didn't mean to ......" spit out thick blood at Jasmine, Li Liang felt very apologetic, after all, women love to be clean, especially beautiful women, no matter what time they clean up, they will never be unkempt like a flower child, but he spat on the beauty, how unparticular! So, he hurriedly explained to Jasmine, but for some reason, before he finished speaking, he felt that the world was spinning, his eyelids were heavy, and then he lost consciousness.
In the imperial study room of the palace of the "Southern Zhou Kingdom", the then emperor Zhou Chao frowned and sat solemnly on the throne of the dragon chair. On the bookcase in front of him were dozens of crimson covers, and behind the bookcase stood more than 20 officials and generals, young and old, all with solemn and anxious expressions.
According to the laws of the "Southern Zhou Kingdom", the degree of urgency was distinguished by the color of the cover. White is average, yellow is urgent, blue is very urgent, and red is 100,000 urgent. That is to say, if it is not until the last moment, the generals who are at various critical points are absolutely not allowed to use the red cover of the fold, on the contrary, if it is used, it is a terrible thing.
The land area of the "Southern Zhou Kingdom" is relatively large, with a total of 14 prefectures, 77 counties, nine large cities with a population of more than one million, more than 320 towns with a population of more than 100,000, and nearly 100,000 small towns and villages with a population of several thousand.
More than 6,000 years ago, the Zhou clan was only a wild tribe, similar to the You clan before Li Liang joined, and even inferior, after all, when Li Liang first joined the group, the You clan already had a "Yue Wolf Castle", although it was tattered and not decent, but the bad family had an old nest, and the Zhou clan had nothing, only a few hundred people who lived by hunting.
But it is such a tribe that has produced a peerless genius. This man's name is "Leech", and it is rumored that when his mother gave birth to him, this area coincided with several months of heavy rain, and the leeches were flooded, and ordinary people could see the overwhelming leeches when they opened the door, and his father gave him this name.
"Leech" at a very young age was famous for his intelligence and diligence in the township, the Zhou clan passed on the method he learned as soon as he learned, and then learned to be fine, before the age of ten can be recruited with the elders of the clan, at the age of fifteen became the first person in the clan to cultivate.
"Leech" left his hometown at the age of 22 and returned to his hometown 300 years later, cultivating to the "middle stage of infant refining". The following year, he left his hometown again and traveled, and returned to his hometown after a thousand years, cultivating to the "late stage of soul casting". After coming back this time, the "leech" overrode the public opinion, led the whole clan to kill down the mountain, built a walled city, formed a legion, conquered the Quartet, founded the country, and was called "Taizu of the Southern Zhou Dynasty".
In the following thousands of years, with the continuous improvement of the cultivation of the "Leech", the territory of the "Southern Zhou Kingdom" also began to expand, and the powerful empire entered a glorious era.
Li Liang also asked Jasmine some questions about the "leech", such as what the old boy looked like, what exercises he practiced, why he disappeared, whether he knew where the old boy had gone, etc., after all, it was not too wasteful to guard such a powerful daughter-in-law and not make good use of it? But I didn't expect people to just say "I remember that there seems to be such a number one person", and then there was no follow-up.
Li Liangna was definitely not satisfied with this answer, so he continued to ask with a full stomach full of doubts, but who knew that the result of the question shocked him.
It turned out that in such a personal artificial continent as the "Void Heaven Continent", the cultivators of the "Demon Venerable Period", or the cultivators of the "Peak Period", had an annual output of more than ten or so much, and if it was calculated from the arrival of the "Seven Holy Ancestors" such as Jasmine, there were a total of sixty or seventy million people who had reached this level of cultivation!
This is still under the same conditions as before, and now I am afraid that it will be increased by about 30 times. In other words, the current "Void Heaven Continent" will have more than 300 "Demon Venerables" or "Immortal Ancestors" born every year.
Hearing this news, not to mention that Li Liang was so frightened that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time, Furong, Mint and others were also shocked for a long time. Every year, more than 300 dark horses are killed, who knows which one is from our side, and which one is not from our side, in case people hide their strength and quietly unite, there will be two or three thousand difficult opponents in ten years of hard work, no matter how strong Jasmine's strength is, but can she fight thousands alone?
Even if she is really very awesome, she can defeat thousands of people with the strength of one person, if she is a master of the "Turtle Sect" and quietly hides for hundreds or thousands of years, then how many "Demon Venerables" and how many "Immortal Ancestors" will emerge, no matter how arrogant Jasmine is in the face of such a number of opponents, I am afraid that she can only escape, and one person will not be able to defeat tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of great monks anyway.
So, Li Liang, Hibiscus, Mint, Lily and others chattered and eagerly asked. If you don't ask what is going on, will you be able to sleep at night? Fat pigs are slaughtered to make money, but monks are slaughtered in the dead!
But before she could ask anything, Jasmine broke out an even more terrifying piece of news, whether it was the "Ten Thousand Lives Reincarnation Array", or the "Sanyang Kaitai Reincarnation Heavenly Array", or the "Jiuyang Kaitai Reincarnation Heavenly Array" of the "Mutian Continent", its real role was not to nourish and derive the aura of heaven and earth and create a peaceful living environment for cultivators, on the contrary, its existence was actually a kind of strangulation.
Use the top-level magic weapon refined by the powerful cultivator to cooperate with the mysterious formation to create a law that envelops the entire continent, that is, all kinds of "heavenly tribulations", by destroying the cultivators who try to break through the bottleneck of cultivation, extract the pure immortal qi, and provide an endless stream of incense offerings for the "creators", and the heaven and earth aura is just a "fodder" given to "captive" the cultivators of the lower realm.
Therefore, although countless great monks have been born over the millions of years, the vast majority of them are only short-lived and quiet. The reason, maybe it was the "Little Tribulation" that fell in a hundred years, or the "Great Tribulation" that fell in a thousand years, or maybe it fell in some calamity, anyway, the law will wipe him out, even if there are really one or two Xiao Qiang who can't be killed, the "Creator" is very pleasing to the eye, and the mood is also good, it may give him a way out, let him fly to a more luxurious pigsty, if it is not pleasing to the eye, and the mood is not good, how can Xiao Qiang stretch out his little finger and crush him to death.
And the reason why Lord Mo Baosheng, the "Void Heaven Immortal Ancestor", instigated the "Seven Holy Ancestors" to use the "Heavenly Tribulation" to recuperate his injuries was precisely because he clearly knew the effect of this law, and used his natal magic weapon "Five Elements to Reverse the Falun", that is, the "Qiankun Array Disk", to confuse the time and space of the "Void Heaven Continent", and steal incense to worship, that is, the qi of the immortals, in order to restore the immortal power that suffered serious losses.
Of course, not everyone has to be bound by this kind of law, outsiders like the "Seven Holy Ancestors" and Li Liang, the origin power contained in their bodies is too powerful, or the information of the source code is too complicated, whether it is the "Ten Thousand Lives Reincarnation Array" or the "Sanyang Kaitai Reincarnation Heavenly Array", the destructive power generated by the "Heavenly Tribulation" cannot help them, and they can only let them go free from the "law".
"Let's talk about it. Zhou Chao swept his cold eyes to the civil ministers and military generals standing in the hall, and said hoarsely.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that there must be a reason for the chaos in the world, but today's plan should be able to endure it, let it go, wait and see what happens, and wait until the situation is clear before making a decision. After a moment of silence, an old man with white hair, a white beard, and triangular eyes spoke.
"Hmph, everyone has hit the door, still bear it? Your Majesty, Wei Chen thought that he should quickly mobilize elite troops to suppress the bandits and the people!" As soon as the old man's words fell, a strong man with a red face snorted coldly and said.
"The general must not be rude, my uncle is the former elder of the three dynasties, and everything he thinks about is for the sake of the imperial court, and it is also out of public interest to propose a policy of forbearance. Being accused by a young junior in person, the old man's face immediately became ugly, and Zhou Chao hurriedly said when he saw this.
"Emperor Mingjian! Since the separation of my Zhou clan more than ten years ago, cultivators have traveled to different places, and mortals have guarded the land, this world has not stopped, not only my 'Southern Zhou', but other countries have also been attacked by various forces, the old minister roughly estimated, the number of proven forces alone is as many as 180,000, much more than the total population of my 'Southern Zhou', if you add those dragons who see the head and the tail, or the bottom is not explored, how many people will there be?"
"The general has been in charge of the military and government for some years, and the old minister remembers that every time he is called for military service, the general will complain that there is a scarcity of soldiers, both old and young, but now, so many young and strong people have suddenly appeared, let me ask, where did these people come from? Could it be that the great monk has used his great magic power to scatter beans and become a soldier? If that is really the case, does the general think that with the mortal body of my soldiers, he can match it?" The old man clenched his fists in thanks, then glared at the triangular eyes, and said angrily to the red-faced strong man.
"Uncle is right, but it is my generation's duty to defend the land and the frontier, and we can't watch the country passed down from our ancestors ruined by my hands, right?" Zhou Chao nodded at first, and then shook his head.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has never said that he wants to surrender and give up! Endure it or let it go, some places can be tolerated, but if someone wants to occupy my 'Southern Zhou', why can't we fight with it?" the old man stroked his chin and said lightly.
"What does Uncle mean?" Zhou Chao rolled his eyes and asked inexplicably.
"Hehe, does the emperor still remember the 'Taizu Testament'?" the old man smiled softly.
"I remember that Taizu once instructed 'In the white python mountain, under the red date tree, meet strangers, and meet in a desperate place'. But uncle, since Taizu has made it clear that my Zhou family will be in the White Python Mountain in the future, why is it strictly forbidden for the descendants of the Zhou family to step into the White Python Mountain?" Zhou Chao said after a moment's silence.
"The old minister doesn't know, but as the old minister sees, Taizu is the honor of Tongtian, since he has set such a testament, I think there is a reason for him, even if I want to break my head, I'm afraid I can't think of a reason. The old man bowed slightly and said solemnly.
"What about the current matter?" Although Zhou Chao did not approve of the old man's words, he could only reluctantly nod under the pressure of the big hat, but when he saw that those red, red, yellow and yellow twists and turns were very difficult, he said with a bitter face.
"Hehe, when the old minister heard the last words of Taizu, he pondered and pondered, and he never forgot them for a day, and the emperor is the same, but the emperor can know, if you don't consider the literal meaning of the testament, what kind of explanation?"
"Uncle has something to say, but my thoughts are ......in turmoil," Zhou Chao gritted his teeth, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, and then squeezed out a smile and said.
"The jujube has a core in the fruit, sweet and astringent, and grows on the canopy, which seems to be easy to take, but in fact it is difficult! Your Majesty, don't you know the truth?" the old man shook his head and said.
"I, I, I don't know......" Zhou Chao's eyelids jumped for a while when he heard this, and after a while, he stammered.

On the first day of work on the eighth day of the new year, Xiao Gong cordially greeted you in her old age, wishing everyone success, dragon horse spirit, and immediate wealth!
On the eve of the Spring Festival, because of work and family and other reasons, the work was suspended for a period of time, and the update was broken.
As for the weakness of the protagonist, many book friends have given a hard evaluation, very in place, very direct, very sharp, which shows that I have portrayed the protagonist well, at least very hateful, right?
But then again, everyone has seen a lot of stories about cultivating immortals, and the protagonists start and end greatly, and the whole process is either killing people, or picking up beautiful women, don't you feel tired? Occasionally change your appetite and taste my stinky tofu, which should be regarded as a kind of spice, right? Not to mention that I have added many new elements to the story, such as the origin of immortality, every time I read it, there will be more or less different feelings, don't you think?
Of course, the story has developed to the present, according to the outline, the perception of the end of the demon road is about to enter the normal bumpy road of cultivating immortals, and the content behind it will be somewhat awesome, but after going through so much, no matter who it is, I think he will be more mature, more stable, and more sophisticated, after all, the idea of such a vague thing, nothing has experienced people who can figure it out just by blindly pondering, let alone returning to ancient times, even in modern times, it is the same as the elite among people, why bother to send him back?
