Chapter Thirty-Seven: An Unexpected Expedition

Although the Chai clan had a great influence in the Tieliu Daying, Mengyi City, as the key point of the western Jinzhou, became increasingly prosperous in business and travel, far surpassing other prefectures and counties. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Not to mention the other clans in the Hexi Prefectures, even the Wuwei Shenhou and the Dadu Protectorate would not allow the Chai clan to monopolize the interests of Mengyi City. At least in the counties of Hexi, under the system of Wuwei Military Town, the interests are evenly distributed, which is the unspoken rule of the clan lords of the Hexi counties for more than ten generations.

Therefore, the clan clans loyal to the Wuwei Shenhou could enjoy the same privileges in the management and operation of industries in Mengyi City, and no matter how powerful the Chai clan was, they would not dare to exclude the properties of other clan clans from Mengyi City.

If the Chai clan really dared to do that, regardless of whether they had the ambition to stand on their own or not, Wuwei Shenhou would be the first to purge the Chai generals from the Tieliu camp.

Zhao Shan's arrival in Mengyi City showed Chen Lie's recognition of the Medicine Master Garden's Soldier Armor Shop, although the Medicine Master Garden Soldier Armor Shop did not directly play Chen's title, but many things have naturally undergone subtle changes, and even the cost of all aspects of the relationship every month has been reduced by nearly half.

The armor shop can have an income of nearly four million yuan of Great Yan Coins per month, and it is enough to maintain everyone's cultivation consumption at this time.

Chen Hai's cultivation has slowly increased from taking one Jing Yuan Pill a day to three Jing Yuan Dan a day, but cultivating the twelve main qi veins with many martial arts secret forms at the same time is a bottomless pit with no end in sight, and he can't see the hope of stepping into the Xuan Realm.

Chen Hai could still feel the dark wound of his soul caused by his seizure, and as he slowly recovered, the tearing pain faintly like a pinprick in his mind was gradually reducing, and he could even persist in silence for an hour or two, practicing the method of breathing and pranayama taught by the first solution of the Danding Jue.

This was also the biggest motivation for Chen Hai to insist on cultivating the twelve main qi veins at the same time, but on the surface, his cultivation could be said to have completely stagnated.

In the spring of the following year, which was also the spring of the seventy-first year of Emperor Yitian, Shen Kun successfully opened the third main qi vein in the Mengyi City Army, and returned to the Taoist Academy to cultivate as a disciple of the purple-clothed Dao soldiers.

At this time, even Ge Tong faintly saw signs of opening up the main qi veins of the Foot Syncope Yin, and Chen Hai was still far from seeing the hope of stepping into the Tongxuan Realm, but this did not prevent him from consolidating his position in the hearts of Ge Tong, Shen Kun, Zhou Jingyuan and others.

A large area of vacant land was sorted out around the Medicine Master Garden, and Shen Kun, Zhou Jingyuan, and Ge Tong all applied to the Taoist Academy to officially move the house to the vicinity of the Medicine Master Garden.

The Taoist Academy occupies the main peak at the eastern foot of Tieliuling, with peaks and valleys and ravines, covering an extremely wide area, less than 2,000 disciples occupy such a large mountain forest, it can be said that the land is vast and sparsely populated;

In this way, the Medicine Master Garden and the houses of Shen Kun, Zhou Jingyuan, Ge and the others were connected, and almost occupied nearly 20 acres of rocky beach in front of the cliff and reclaimed it as a medicine field.

In addition to the increasing number of herbs and spiritual trees transplanted in, they also raised a small number of low-level spirit birds to increase their income.

Although it is impossible for the Medicine Master Garden to suppress the power of the Chai family's children in the Daoist Academy, and it is far from being able to compete with it, it has gradually formed its own faction and is thriving; at the same time, because of Chen Lie's clear support, the suppression of the Medicine Master Garden by the children of other sect lords has also been much more restrained, at least there will be no more direct destruction of the wall and destruction of the field.

*************************

Chen Hai couldn't see any hope of stepping into the Tongxuan Realm for a short time, but in the first three rounds of the competition held at the end of the fifth month of the late spring of the seventy-first year of Emperor Yitian, Chen Hai still knocked all three opponents out of the ring, and his ranking among the junior Dao disciples successfully rose to the top 100.

On the same day, Chen Hai and Zhou Jingyuan, Shen Kun, Ge Tong, and Shen Xiu, who had newly entered the Taoist Academy, climbed the Chuangong Hall Square at the top of the main peak at the eastern foothills.

The four deacons and elders of the Taoist Academy, Zhao Ruhui, Zhang Huaiyu, Xie Kun, and Li Xianghai, all appeared on the high platform in front of the square that day, ready to inspect the disciples' cultivation progress in the past six months.

However, just as the new round of disciple competition was about to begin, a golden ray burst out from the depths of Taiwei Mountain, as if a golden rainbow crossed the blue sky, and fell into the hands of Zhao Ruhui in the prison at the last moment.

"Golden Sword Talisman!"

The last moment was extremely short, and Chen Hai didn't see clearly what fell into the hands of Zhao Ruhui in the prison, but only heard Ge Tong slightly moved, and talked with Shen Kun and them in a whisper.

Chen Hai knew that the inner gate of the Seven Peaks issued the edicts, all in the form of the golden sword edict, but today was the first time to see it, just now he was out for a while, and he didn't see what the golden sword edict was like, let alone guess what happened, and he wanted to go to the seven peaks to directly use the golden sword edict to send the edict.

Zhao Ruhui, Zhang Huaiyu, Xie Kun, and Li Xianghai soon summoned the heads of all the courtyards to the Chuangong Hall to discuss matters, and thousands of Daobing disciples stood in the square with their faces in sight, and they couldn't leave.

Soon, Zhao Ruhui and the others came out again.

Zhao Ruhui stood up to announce the mystery, stood in front of the Chuan Gong Hall and said loudly: "The sect wants to suppress the chaotic people of Yulong Mountain, and this time it will transfer three hundred Taoist disciples from Tieliuling. In order to avoid unnecessary attrition, this disciple competition will be interrupted and will be resumed in the next period. The top 100 junior Daoyi disciples were all given Xuanyi, and they were compiled as Taoist soldiers, and they went out with the sect to Yulong Mountain......"

Chen Hai thought of Chen Qing, Xie Wenzhuo, Lu Hongqian and other inner disciples, and asked for orders to go to Yulong Mountain to reconnoiter the enemy's situation more than two months ago, but he didn't expect that this matter would drag on for more than two months before the sect officially organized Taoist soldiers and soldiers to go to Yulong Mountain to clear out the rebellious people.

Although the disciple competition was supervised by four Enlightenment Realm elders, if it continued, the four or five hundred disciples would have some minor damage, and in order to ensure that the clean-up was carried out in an orderly manner, and to prevent some disciples from taking advantage of their injuries, it was also necessary to interrupt the disciple competition.

Chen Hai looked around and saw that several good people he knew were included in the list of expeditions, but none of them were worried on their faces, but their eyes were full of excitement.

Chen Hai thought to himself that most of the chaos of the displaced people of the Jade Dragon Mansion had already spread in the Daoist Academy, and everyone knew in their hearts that the Jade Dragon Mountain was located at the junction of the two towns of the Hexiang Army and the Wuwei Army, and the location was very sensitive, so it was inconvenient to directly transfer the soldiers of the Wuwei Army, so they could only send disciples from the sect to clear and suppress - no matter how large the scale of the displaced people gathered in the Jade Dragon Mountain was, in the eyes of everyone, they were all vulnerable rabble, and now should be a good opportunity to accumulate the merits of the sect.

What's more, Chen Hai, who has entered the first three rounds of competitions and entered the top 100 junior Taoist disciples, can directly become the reserve military attache of the Wuwei Army this time, and change into a Xuanyi Taoist robe to enter the Chuan Gong Hall to practice, which can be said to be a rare opportunity.

Chen Hai thought of the disciple competition a year ago, and the top 100 junior Dao soldiers were also made an exception and directly incorporated into the reserve military attaché, and he had a very strong doubt in his heart, could it be that the Wuwei Army had already expanded its strength in the dark underground?

However, whether or not Wuwei Shenhou Dong Liang secretly expanded the strength of the Wuwei army had nothing to do with Chen Hai at this time;

************************************

Zhou Jun, Ge Tong, Shen Kun and other purple-clothed disciples were left behind by Zhao Ruhui and others in the prison to participate in the deliberations, and Chen Hai and Zhou Jingyuan returned to the Medicine Master Garden at the foot of the mountain first.

Chen Hai and Zhou Jingyuan waited in the afternoon in the Medicine Master Garden, and Ge Tong and Shen Kun came back from the main peak and brought back more specific news.

"The famine in Yulong Mansion has lasted for three years, and hundreds of thousands of hungry people have wandered to the local area, occupying the mountains and mountains in Yulong Mountain, and from time to time rushing down the mountain to invade Koufu County. The local military strength of the prefecture and county is low, not enough to resist, the walled city has been broken one after another, and the Yulong army has been defeated, and has repeatedly asked the general to send reinforcements. This matter has been delayed for more than half a year, Shenhou saw that the place was really powerless to suppress, and these rebellious people camped in Yulong Mountain, and the situation had a tendency to expand and deteriorate, so he decided to mobilize a thousand Taoist disciples from the three Taoist monasteries in the southwest of Taiwei Mountain, and converge with the inner disciples to form a sect of Taoist soldiers to enter Yulong Mountain and pacify the chaos. On the side of the Daoist Academy, the soldiers will go out to the sea and the three spiritual realm teachers. Elder Li also named me and Senior Brother Ge......" Shen Kun said.

The elder of the soldiers, Li Xianghai, is also the captain of the Tieliu Battalion of the Wuwei Army, and the disciples of the Dao soldiers outside the sect should indeed be responsible for the expedition.

Three hundred disciples were transferred from Tieliuling, including more than 20 purple-clothed disciples such as Zhou Jun, Shen Kun, and Ge Tong, in addition to some Xuanyi disciples, while Zhou Jingyuan did not need to go out with the army, and could stay to take care of the Medicine Master Garden and the armor shop.

In addition to the blades and armor of Chen Hai's own armor, he could also temporarily receive black scale armor, tuomu bow, fine iron shield and other standard armor from the Taoist Academy on this expedition. Chen Hai does not have a mount yet, and he can temporarily take out a good horse from the Taoist Academy to replace the foot strength.

The golden sword edict issued by the inner gate of the Upper Seven Peaks required the three hundred Dao disciples of Tieliuling to complete the assembly within three days.

The double halberd and cold iron knife that Chen Hai used with him had already been mixed with a small amount of cold iron and red pulp copper by the method of seepage casting, which was a rare good product below the spirit weapon, and the Ten Killing Battle Halberd Technique had been cultivated to proficiency, but he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to fight with the army so soon, and he had not had the opportunity to formally practice the shield halberd combat skills that would only be used in the military formation, let alone have the opportunity to practice mounted archery, let alone how to cooperate with others in the military formation.

In fact, although the other Xuanyi disciples were all organized as reserve military attachés, it was precisely because they were trained as reserve military attachés that at this time, everyone didn't even know how to integrate into the military formation and enter the battlefield as ordinary military pawns - except for the purple-clothed disciples, no one had ever practiced the military formation.

Chen Hai felt that the inner gate of the Upper Seven Peaks was a little inexplicable, obviously he had more than two months to prepare for everyone before, but he delayed until now before he suddenly gave an order, and he asked everyone to prepare for the expedition in three days.
