Chapter 5 The Army
In this era of inconvenient communication, the speed of information transmission is very slow, the Qian clan was exterminated, and the migration of Qian Xueyi was not until after the autumn harvest, when the tax collector of the Sima clan came to collect taxes, he found out, and immediately reported to the Sima clan, which led to the anger of the Sima clan and wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly, but because it was too long, and Shaolan and others were cautious, the Sima clan without clues could not be investigated, so in the snowy winter, the matter was over. Although there are different opinions, the matter has also been settled, and no one has mentioned it again.
In the snowy winter, there is nothing else to do, and the people in the cottage practice day and night. At this time, under the proposal and leadership of Changfeng, a new army was formed. For a long time, because there are many things in the cottage, the soldiers of the cottage have always followed the setting of bandits, and all men are soldiers. But it also means that all the soldiers are civilians, not regular armies, not real armies that are forbidden by order. Therefore, Changfeng thought that in this winter, it was time to establish a march, so Shaolan handed over the matter to Changfeng to lead.
The new army formed by Changfeng is not an ordinary new army, but a new army composed of leaders who have successfully cultivated Lingmi Immortal Gong. This also means that as long as the training is successful, this army will be able to sweep away all the soldiers of the noble clan, no, it should be said that the doctor's soldiers are not opponents. This will also be a strong guarantee for Shaolan's future rule.
And all those who join the army, in addition to obtaining Shaolan's first bit of Ember Thought, can also get 1 spirit peach, and the treatment and benefits are also excellent. Therefore, the people of the village have enthusiastically participated in the registration. However, because not all of them are men who have cultivated Lingmi Immortal Gong, there are also many women who have succeeded. And the formation of female soldiers is something that is difficult for the people to accept. So the hot-eyed Bright Star jumped out and took over these women, and also prepared to form a new army, called the Dark Guard. is mainly responsible for intelligence gathering, assassination, protection of key personnel and other tasks, and Shaolan also lets him do it. Shaolan continued to cultivate, and his strength was not as good as that of his two younger brothers, so that he would not vomit or be unhappy.
Speaking of Shaolan's luck, he really succeeded in using the Lingmi Immortal Gong on the peach tree, through the peach tree, his cultivation speed became faster and faster, and it was even more unexpected that the peach tree underwent a qualitative change, and the peaches produced became spiritual peaches, and those who opened MP consumed HP+1, MP+1, and ordinary people ate HP+2, which is a permanent improvement. The fly in the ointment is that this spirit peach has no effect when consumed continuously, and it needs to be separated by a month if it wants to take effect.
The goose feather snow is getting heavier and heavier, the snow covers the mountain, the world is silver-white, only there is a little green in the cottage, it is full of vitality, it is the peach tree that Shaolan practiced. And this peach tree violates the law in this harsh winter, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and there are green peaches and ripe peaches.
On this peach tree, Shaolan finally realized the difference between the peach trees and the effect of Lingmi Immortal Gong. If Shaolan practiced alone and could only increase the MP limit by 1 point a day, then through Lingmi Xiangong and Peach Tree Practitioners, he could increase the MP limit by 3 points per day and make his mana more pure, not to mention, the peach tree fruit was also effective for him, which can be described as a multi-task.
Just when Shaolan was thinking of taking advantage of this winter to raise his attribute points in one fell swoop, reaching or even surpassing the level of Changfeng or Yixing, Rice Bran brought a piece of news.
Looking at the rice bran standing in front of him, with a roe head and a rat eye, Shaolan was a little surprised by his performance all along. The cottage originally took refuge in its own rice bran and Qingyun two people, rice bran shaved and patted horses, a villain, mixed with three religions and nine streams, not liked by Shaolan, Qingyun is a scholar, knowledgeable, capable, is his right-hand man, Shaolan likes it very much, but the creation makes people, Qingyun failed to successfully practice Lingmi Xiangong, but the rice bran has successfully cultivated, and the qualifications are excellent, five days can increase the MP limit of 1 point, compared to other people in the village can only increase the MP limit of 1 point a day.
Because the qualifications of the rice bran are good, they are easy to use, and there is no problem with loyalty, so Shaolan also cultivates it, and the rice bran is responsible for external communication and intelligence gathering, and gives him a fairy peach every month as compensation for affecting his practice.
In addition to understanding the follow-up dynamics of Qian Xueyi and understanding the three sects and nine streams, Mi Bran also has a job to go to Chiyan Village every three days to report the news to Shaolan. After all, Shaolan has not exposed his cottage, and his family does not know it, so he cannot directly contact Shaolan, so Chiyan Village is a transfer station, and because of this, Chiyan Village has not moved into the cottage.
The news that the rice bran brought back was that Liu Shouye sent someone to send an order to let Shaolan go home to spend the Tianfeng Festival together.
The Tianfeng Festival is somewhat similar to the Spring Festival, but the time nodes are different and the meaning is also different. The origin of the Tianfeng Festival is thousands of years ago on this day, a Taoist Tianfeng sect master officially opened the world, let the Taoist relatives help govern the beginning of the world, this is the origin of the world's dynasties and princes. Because of this, there are today's princes and nobles, so in order to commemorate this day, but also to commemorate the Tianfeng Sect Master, so this day was positioned as the Tianfeng Festival by later generations and handed down. Over the years, the festival has changed from a one-day celebration to a three-day event.
And the next day is the Tianfeng Festival, so Shaolan and the others need to leave immediately. The three Shaolan brothers simply cleaned up their salutes, arranged the affairs of the cottage, and then returned to Liu Mayi with a new army, and they didn't know how their father Liu Shouye would feel when he knew about their achievements.
hurried all the way, and finally arrived outside Liu Mayi at the twilight of the West Mountain. At this time, Liu Mayi was full of lights, full of laughter and laughter, and the celebration was extraordinary. The soldiers guarding the gate from a distance saw Shaolan and the others, so they shouted: "The three young masters have gone home!" ”
The people, slaves, and soldiers in the city all lined up to welcome them, while the Liu family waited in the hall, waiting to wash the dust for the three of them.
Entering Liu Mayi, Shaolan frowned slightly, this Liu Mayi is still as stinky as ever, far less comfortable than a neatly planned and reasonably designed cottage. It's no wonder that horses are very smelly, there are about 30 horses in the city, it is strange if they don't stink, and I can't help but admire that I can stay in such a place for thirteen years.
Regarding the return of the three Shaolan brothers, only his father Liu Shouye and mother Liu Xu were the most happy, and the others were just polite according to etiquette, which made Shaolan dislike it more and more and miss his cottage.
After the reception banquet, night had fallen, and in order to save lamp oil and candles, everyone returned to their respective rooms, and Shaolan privately asked to see Liu Shouye. Seeing that Shaolan was going to talk to him alone, Liu Shouye's mouth had a smile on his lips, thinking that Shaolan couldn't stand the poverty of Chiyan Village, and begged himself for mercy, or asked himself for advice on how to govern Chiyan Village. Liu Shouye then retreated left and right, and talked secretly with Shaolan alone in the room.
The two sat across the desk, and while Liu Shouye was waiting for Shaolan to bow his head, Shaolan took out a brand-new book from his arms and put it on the desk and pushed it in front of him, with four big characters written on the cover "Lingmi Xiangong".
"This, this is ......" Liu Shouye was shocked, picked up the book and couldn't wait to open it to read, the four words of Lingmi Xiangong were like thunder to him.
Liu Shouye had never practiced, so naturally he couldn't distinguish the truth from the false, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his voice was out of shape: "This, is this true?" ”
"It's true!"
Looking at Shaolan's calm face, Liu Shouye suddenly thought of something, and a trace of panic flashed seriously: "The matter of Qian Xueyi ......"
"I did it, but don't worry, father, I have moved Qian Xueyi and eliminated all traces, and the Sima family is not so easy to find. By the time they found out, they couldn't help us. ”
"You, you ......" Liu Shouye slammed the table and took a deep breath for a while before calming down: "You tell me the whole thing in detail." ”
Shaolan then met the bandits after leaving Liu Mayi, and then subdued the bandits and occupied the cottage, except for the fact that his three brothers had strong force, he told Liu Shouye all the other things. Including the cottage, including teaching the people of the cottage Lingmi Immortal Gong, including the formation of a new army, including Lingtao, all of them have been said.
After listening to Shaolan's narration, Liu Shouye was speechless for a long time, and it was difficult to digest this as if it were a legend that subverted his three views.
After being silent for a long time, Liu Shouye looked at Shaolan and suddenly smiled: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being my son, he has done a good job and has done everything in all aspects, from now on, no one can stop the rise of our Liu clan." But it is difficult to recover from the water, and since these things have been done, we must deal with them well, and we must not leave future troubles. At least until we're strong enough, we can't be discovered by Dr. Sima. ”
At that moment, Liu Shouye made suggestions, and discussed with Shaolan the next development plan of the Liu family, territory, and cottage, and discussed how to make his territory grow secretly. As for this Lingmi Immortal Gong, the people of the Liu clan must practice it, and time is running out. However, for the sake of secrecy, for the time being, only Liu Shouye, Shaolan's two elder brothers, and a few loyal old family servants can practice. In the case of secrecy, the power of the Liu clan will be strengthened.
As soon as important matters were discussed, Shaolan also asked Liu Shouye to name the cottage. Although it is okay to name the cottage by yourself, but in this hierarchical ancient times, once you name yourself, although Liu Shouye will not say anything, he will not pay much attention to the development of the cottage, and naming Liu Shouye is to give Liu Shouye a feeling that this is his own unique territory, which will make Liu Shouye have a better impression of the cottage emotionally, and it will be better to do things in the future.
Liu Shouye did not shirk, and immediately named the cottage Liu Lanyi, it can be seen from the name that he completely sealed the cottage to Shaolan, saying that he would not interfere in the internal affairs of the cottage, and also stated that as long as Shaolan has needs, he will fully support Shaolan.
When all this was properly discussed, it was already the middle of the night, because Liu Shouye and Shaolan had a secret talk, Liu Xu was still waiting in the side hall, and he couldn't come back to rest, Shaolan hurriedly retired and asked Liu Xu to go back to the room to rest, and then went back to the room to rest.
The next day, it was the lively Tianfeng Festival, Liu Shouye waved his hand, every household in the city had meat, and a large number of dried meat were rewarded.
According to the practice of previous years, the whole Liu Mayi of the Tianfeng Festival will be lively for three days, but on the second day of the Tianfeng Festival, the sensitive people and servants of the Yi found that the Liu family did not continue to celebrate, so the festive and lively atmosphere of the festival slowly weakened and disappeared on the second day. In fact, it was the three Shaolan brothers who were helping Liu Shouye and others to cultivate Lingmi Immortal Gong and awaken the MP attribute. For this reason, Shaolan also specially picked a few spirit peaches before coming back, hoping to help them.
Coincidentally, except for a few domestic servants who had difficulty cultivating and barely awakened the MP attribute by relying on the spirit peach, the others were all very smooth, and they had just awakened the MP attribute and obtained the mana, and there were relatives to report it, and the Sima family sent a messenger.
The Sima family respected red, so they came to wear light red robes.
"Doctor Sima has an order: On December 12th, the Yunxia Sect Immortal Envoy will come to Sima Yi to select qualified cultivators, and all the scholars under his jurisdiction who are over eight years old and under the age of sixteen, who are in good health, have no disabilities, and can read and write can participate in the test.
Note: According to the different positions, the name of the residence is also different, respectively, the royal family is the palace, the princes are the house, the secretary is the residence, the doctor is the home, the scholar is the house, and the commoners and the following are the houses.
After conveying Dr. Sima's order, the envoy did not rest but continued to the next scholar to convey the order.
Doctor Sima's order made Liu Shouye very incomprehensible, this is simply pie in the sky, you must know that in previous years, there were also cultivators from the Immortal Sect to recruit disciples, but this is all exclusive to the Sima family, and no scholar has ever been asked to share it. Even if you choose to teach the exercises, you will be carefully selected and the exercises will be tightly covered. And now that they let their scholars enter the Immortal Cultivation Sect, it will definitely make the scholars grow stronger and stronger, and even break away from the control of their Sima family.
But in the face of this pie, no one can bear not to take a bite, Liu Shouye can't, and Liu Shaolan can't. After obtaining the Lingmi Immortal Skill, Shaolan deeply realized the importance of cultivating immortals, and systematically learning the knowledge of cultivating immortals was something he was extremely eager for, but he was not allowed to enter. If it develops according to the previous trajectory, then Shaolan can only collect inferior exercises little by little through other scholars, and then find a way to improve it, which will take too long, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve his goal of splitting the earth and sealing the king in his lifetime. But today, here's your chance!
In the face of this tempting pie, whether it was a sugar-coated cannonball or not, Shaolan was ready to take a bite, although Liu Shouye was worried and didn't want Shaolan to go, but Shaolan still decided to take his two younger brothers with him, but at the same time he made two preparations, one was to let Mi Yan find a way to arrange a retreat for him in Sima Yi, and once he found that something was wrong, he would withdraw and leave Sima Yi. The second is to prepare emergency measures, once Shaolan and others are trapped in Sima Yi, they will immediately send troops to attack Sima Yi and rescue them.
There was still half a month left before the stipulated time, Shaolan did not continue to stay in Liu Mayi, but returned to Liu Lanyi and began to prepare.
