Chapter 94: Lost Sheep and Repair
Carrying a full harvest, Chen Tao and his party have become closer and closer to the Yecheng stronghold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Along the way, he stumbled upon a few small strongholds, and learned that they had successfully courted Dong and returned, and immediately expressed his willingness to cling to Jiwei. Later, I learned that they themselves also planned to go to the alliance, but the main thing was just a third-rate general, and it didn't make much sense in the past, so they stayed in the rear, depending on the situation, whether they took refuge in large forces, or they fled far away.
There are many similar strongholds on the periphery of the Tiger Prison, but Chen Tao is not interested in co-opting them one by one.
"The front is the Yecheng stronghold, everyone work harder!" It seemed that the shadow of Yecheng had been seen on the horizon, and Chen Tao immediately shouted towards the back of the team.
"Whoa!" Everyone is not an ordinary person, and it is not a problem to travel 500 a day and 300 a night, and this distance is not a problem.
"Wait, it doesn't seem right! You wait here, I'll go over and see what happens! When Yecheng appeared in sight, Chen Tao rode the lightning violently, that is, his yellow horse and ran towards Yecheng.
The originally tall and magnificent Yecheng City now looks covered in bruises, and there are traces of battle everywhere, and even some city walls seem to have been damaged, but they are now being repaired.
"What happened?" Chen Tao looked at the head of the city, where there was still a big banner with the word Chen, otherwise he wouldn't dare to call it like this.
"My lord? The lord is back! When the soldiers defending the city saw Chen Tao, they immediately shouted in surprise.
Everyone put down their work and walked towards him. In the past few days, people have been panicking, coupled with Chen Tao's absence, it is inevitable that there is a feeling of losing the backbone, and now seeing Chen Tao return safely, he is also overjoyed.
"Lord, it is not good for his subordinates to guard the stronghold, which has caused the stronghold to suffer miserably, please punish him!" Xin commented that Zhao Feng and others also appeared one after another, but they all looked a little injured, and at this moment they came to Chen Tao and knelt down on one knee to plead guilty.
"What the hell is going on, report quickly!" Chen Tao was also anxious, and hurriedly asked.
"Lord Qiqi, five days ago, suddenly three Jindan Ancestors came to the Yecheng stronghold, and wreaked havoc without saying a word. Not only that, but he also snatched all the magic weapons of the Refining Pavilion, all the pills of the Alchemy Pavilion, and even all the scriptures of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. Before leaving, he even sent down the heavenly fire with the law, enveloping the entire Yecheng in a sea of fire, and then left.
If it weren't for the support of several other strongholds in the past few days to help us rebuild, I'm afraid that the situation in Yecheng would be even worse. In addition, I also asked the lord to mourn, but the main mother Zhang had been killed in the fire in this attack, and there was nothing wrong with the other main mothers. Xin Ping was ready to bear the consciousness of punishment, so he slowly told what happened in the stronghold.
"Do you know who did the good deeds?" Chen Tao said slowly, at this moment, his forehead was covered with green muscles, his fists were clenched, and he was obviously angry.
"I don't know yet, but the other party is running towards the east, and only the Yuan family may have Jindan Ancestor over there." Xin Ping replied slowly.
"Yuan Valve An dares to do this!" Chen Tao didn't need to doubt it at all, only Yuan Valve had a grudge against him and would do this kind of thing, or if he had the ability to do this kind of thing.
It's just that I didn't expect that although the large army went south, it could actually send three Jindan monks to attack itself. It can be seen that Yuan Valve is indeed profound, but he has to guard against it.
"What about Elder Xu Hui?" Taking a deep breath, Chen Tao asked after packing up his mood.
"Elder Xu Hui guarded the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, but he was seriously injured by the Jindan Ancestor, and he is recuperating at the moment." Zhao Feng immediately returned.
"This is a healing elixir, and I sent it to her. Since she is the ancestor of Jindan, the responsibility is not on her. Tell her to recuperate from her injuries and continue to serve as the steward of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion after she recovers. Chen Tao took out a healing pill and handed it to Zhao Feng and said.
"The subordinates only thanked the lord on behalf of the godmother!" Zhao Feng is Xu Hui's adopted son, and it is not an exaggeration to take her to thank her.
"Come with me into the city...... Let's do something to clean up the ruins of Yecheng, so that we can camp in it tonight! Only then did Chen Tao turn around and give instructions to the soldiers behind.
"Whoa!" Everyone knew that Chen Tao was angry, so naturally he didn't dare to say anything, but just silently accepted his orders.
Many people are also playing drums in their hearts, whether it is really a wise move to take refuge in Chen Tao. After all, I thought at first how huge Yecheng was, but who knew that it would be easily destroyed by Jindan Ancestor, who could guarantee that such a thing would not happen again in the future?
Looking at the ruins, everyone couldn't help but secretly say: If the Jindan Ancestor comes again, will he be able to be safe?
After much deliberation, the result was: No! If you're unlucky, you'll be hit by the pond fish!
So, in the process of cleaning up the ruins later, ninety percent of the principals of those small strongholds who took refuge halfway left. Some go quietly, while others walk openly. Chen Tao didn't stop them, his heart was not here, it was just a scourge.
During this time, he also returned to the main house, which was the first to be rebuilt. Of course, due to the rush of time, only the front hall and some of the houses behind it were temporarily built, and you can even smell the aroma of wood.
"Husband...... You're back...... Mother She ...... "Woo woo woo ...... "When I returned to the back room, I saw a few women wearing linen and filial piety, and came to him with tears, Zhen Jiang and Zhen Tuo's two daughters even threw themselves directly into his arms and cried bitterly.
"I already know the matter, and I will naturally settle accounts with those Jindan Ancestors in the future! At this moment, let's take care of Zhang's aftermath first! Chen Tao comforted the beautiful woman in his arms, and then said slowly.
He had to stay calm, or he would be easily attacked by demons. That is, the "Nine Turns of Heavenly Demon Transformation" set of exercises will actually cause the strength of the heart demon to increase, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the path of the heart demon.
As the saying goes, men are women's heavens, and since Chen Tao has promised, the second daughter is naturally not good at saying anything.
Chen Tao came to the mourning hall, opened the coffin, and the Zhang family, who had undergone simple embalming treatment, seemed to be asleep. It's just that the wound on the neck is so conspicuous. Chen Tao could see that it was a sword wound, but it was not a murder, but a suicide.
He didn't know exactly what happened at that time, but it was certain that Zhang should have chosen to commit suicide in order to defend something. Is it herself, herself Chen Tao, or is it her daughter? At this point, it doesn't seem to make much sense......
Chen Tao understands that in this world, all benevolence, righteousness and morality are actually bullshit! Only a fist is hard enough is the truth. It is an era of decay in etiquette itself, and there is no market for morality or mercy or something.
Covered the coffin, silently incense her, and then kowtowed three times in front of her spirit. The floor was shattered by him, but he was a monk in the foundation building period, and his forehead was not even red, not to mention bleeding.
But it didn't matter, everyone around him, even Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao, could feel his determination and anger. In fact, for the two of them, the emotions facing Chen Tao are also very complicated, on the one hand, he is the brother-in-law of the two, and on the other hand, he is the stepfather of the two, and the relationship is chaotic...... Fortunately, Chen Tao has already made it clear that everyone will pay their own attention, which makes the face not too ugly.
I spent one night with my four daughters at home, and of course nothing happened. It takes 100 days to keep filial piety, and during this time, for the sake of filial piety, the fourth daughter will naturally not be intimate with Chen Tao, but if he insists, it will naturally be difficult to resist, but Chen Tao will not be like this.
If the sheep is gone, the prison should be repaired, otherwise how can we prevent the ferocious wolf?
Chen Tao had already saved a lot of spars, waiting for further storage to upgrade the supermarket, but now that such a thing has happened, naturally there is no way to be so selfish. After all, at this moment, he is no longer a person, but the main thing of a force.
He exchanged thirty-six array flags of high-grade magic weapons, and combined with three hundred and sixty medium-grade spirit stones, he built a Tiangang Great Array.
The places such as Sheguo, Wu'an, Liangqi, Qiqiu and Neihuang were used as formation nodes to build a large array, and Yecheng was wrapped in it as the eye of the formation. This huge formation requires the consumption of a hundred medium-grade spirit stones every year, which can be described as a big money-burner.
But the effect is also very obvious, that is, monks below the infancy stage, don't expect to be able to break in. You can even let go of the formation and let the opponent in, and then open the killing formation and strangle the opponent on the spot.
This is the highest level formation that Chen Tao can lay out at this stage, and with this formation, he can say that the entire force is temporarily safe. Millions of hedrons were consumed for this, but he didn't regret it, at most he regretted why he didn't set up this big array earlier.
However, there was no way to set up the formation earlier, and this large array could only be arranged at least in the later stage of the foundation, and earlier he did not have the ability to lay out this large array, so he barely arranged it, and the power of the formation was also greatly reduced.
spent another three million spars and exchanged a large number of materials to help Yecheng rebuild; exchange for large quantities of grain, so that the people and soldiers will not starve; Exchange a large number of cheats to enrich the Scripture Pavilion; Exchange a large number of medicinal materials to help rebuild the Alchemy Pavilion; Exchange a large amount of minerals to help rebuild the Refining Chamber.
It took more than ten days before and after, and the entire Yecheng was renewed again, and everyone was not ordinary people in the end, and it was naturally easy to rebuild. On the contrary, thanks to the other party's wanton destruction, Chen Tao was able to re-plan and build Yecheng.
Today's Yecheng is more modern than before, simply put, concrete and steel buildings can be seen everywhere, making greater use of the space here.
The school resumed teaching, and all the disciples returned to the classroom with joy. Chen Tao proved to everyone with reality that as long as he is still here, then no matter how big the disaster is in the stronghold, he can recover in a short time.
Gan Ning Dianwei and other newcomers who had just taken refuge couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly said that they had made the wrong choice to take refuge in Chen Tao!
During this period, people such as Zhang He, Gao Lan, Yin Ping and Han Rong also came to pay their respects one after another, and Chen Tao also appeased everyone and carried out a new round of scheduling for defense, using this rotation system to achieve the purpose of giving his subordinates more time to cultivate. This attack made everyone sober up in comfort and start to open up their cultivation, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.
The first to break through was Long Er, but he was fourteen years old, but he was already a congenital general, which was rare; followed by Xin Ping and Xin Ping, the two of them had good spiritual roots, and now they have both entered the foundation building period, among which Chen Tao gave the foundation building pill, which took a lot of work to get it.
Zhao Feng has also reached the peak of Qi training, and is working hard to build a foundation; After being defeated and seriously injured, Xu Hui also cultivated openly after recuperation, and his cultivation that was stagnant in the middle stage of foundation building actually made a breakthrough, and he directly obtained the late stage of foundation building. Perhaps, it is in response to the saying of 'breaking and then standing'.
Zhang He and others have also entered the innate realm one after another, even Yin Kai and Zheng Yan have improved. It's a pity that there is not a single Jindan monk in the entire stronghold, but it is still a big shortcoming.
Everyone looked at the main mansion, and Chen Tao had already begun to cultivate, striving to be promoted to the Jindan stage in a short period of time. Now the anger and despair in Yecheng have not completely dissipated, but have become the nutrients for his cultivation of demonic skills......
