Chapter Eighty-Five: One Hundred Thousand Dao Troops (Part II)
In the next two days, almost day and night, there were scattered cultivators from all walks of life to join the army. Some of them came from the entire sect, the whole family, and the entire Taoist temple to join the army, some came in groups of three or five, and some came alone.
In addition to the fact that they are all loose cultivators, they also have one thing in common, that is, they are coming for the fame of coach Jiang Chen. Everyone came to the outside of the military village in the Descending Dragon Valley, and they all said that they wanted to meet the commander and come to join the army.
There were too many people coming, and the camp tents in the Dragon Descending Valley were completely insufficient, and those later Dao heroes could only temporarily set up camps or stay in carriages. Jiang Chen was extremely busy, in addition to meeting with batches of Dao heroes who came to join the army, he also had to spend a lot of effort to arrange and incorporate these Dao heroes.
Among these scattered cultivators, there are many big names like Cangxia Daoren and Han Banxian, who have been famous for many years. These big names usually come with their disciples, and they are mighty. These rivers and lakes are scattered, hidden in the five lakes and four seas, most of them have heard each other's names, but they have never met, at this time they meet in the Taoist army, and they are also polite to each other, so that the whole Taoist army is very lively.
What's more, there are many enemies among the Taoists in the rivers and lakes, and some even have enemies that do not share the sky. However, since they came to join the army, they could not settle their personal grievances in the army. Some made an agreement that after the army returned from the Northern Expedition, they would withdraw from the Daozi Army, and then fight for life and death, and settle grievances!
In the barracks, the two teams of Dao cultivators confronted each other with swords, and the atmosphere was tense, and there was quite a disagreement, which was the taste of a bloody battle.
Seeing this scene, the nearby sergeant hurriedly went to inform Jiang Chen, at this time, I am afraid that only the commander can suppress them.
One of the leaders was a burly old man with a sword, his face was gloomy, and he said loudly: "On the seventh day of the fifth month of May this year, Wang Di, a disciple of my Sword Casting Villa, and three others escorted a batch of Dao swords and other Dao weapons to Zhulianfang City, passing through Lianzi Mountain, and were tragically sacked!
"Later, the old man sent someone to secretly visit, but he saw the batch of Dao swords for sale in the market, and under the investigation of Shun Teng, the batch of Dao swords flowed out of Guimen!
The master of the Yan Dao Sect Cheng Sect was a lean man, he sneered and said, "So what! Those Dao swords were indeed sold by the sect, and the three disciples of the Sword Casting Villa also died on the lotus seed mountain near the sect! The eyeballs of that disciple of yours were also gouged out by the master of the sect!"
The owner of the Sword Casting Villa suddenly said in a more cold tone: "In this way, the master of the Cheng Sect admits to killing people and overstepping goods, killing my disciples, and taking away my Dao sword!"
"Cheng didn't say that!" Cheng said: "Although my Yandao Sect is not a famous and decent family, it is also quite famous in the scattered cultivation of the rivers and lakes, and this sect can't afford the crime of killing people and overstepping goods!"
"What the hell is going on with that! Dare to do it but dare not admit it?" The Dao Heroes of Sword Casting Villa drew their swords one after another, their eyes were red with anger, and a bloody battle was about to break out.
"Everyone's anger!" Jiang Chen arrived here in time, and after he heard the sergeant explain the situation, he reconciled in the middle and said: "Master Fengzhuang, please listen to Ben Shuai's vain speculation, the disciple of the Sword Casting Villa is probably not killed by the Yan Dao Sect." ”
"How do you say this? There are Dao swords sold as physical evidence, and there are disciples who have been dug up as witnesses, and there are both human and physical evidence, and the evidence is conclusive, how can it not be them!"
Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "On the surface, it looks like this, but in fact, there is another mystery. Moreover, if Yandaomen dared to kill people and sell more goods, why did he leave a living hole to find out the bottom of the matter, but only gouged out his eyes? Why didn't he just kill people and kill people? There must be a hidden secret in this!"
"Master Chengmen, Ben Shuai believes that the top and bottom of the Yandao Sect are definitely not murderers, for the sake of Ben Shuai's feelings, can you please explain the hidden secrets?"
Master Cheng hesitated for a moment, and finally he sighed and said, "Okay, for the sake of Commander Jiang's feelings, Cheng will make it clear! Those three disciples of Sword Casting Villa encountered a poisonous arrow dragon in Lianzi Mountain, and one of the disciples of Sword Casting Villa escaped with serious injuries and asked for help from this disciple. At that time, Cheng was not in the door, but the disciples in the door still went to the rescue, fought with the demon beast, and finally killed the demon beast together, but also lost two disciples, and the three disciples of the Sword Casting Villa all fell. ”
"Although the door did not save anyone, they did their best. It is reasonable for this sect to take those ownerless Dao artifacts and sell them as a compensatory benefit for sacrificing disciples!"
Jiang Chen nodded: "It's reasonable!
The owner of the Feng Zhuang will be suspicious: "If it is really as he said, why don't you explain it clearly, why did you poison the disciples sent by the village to investigate and gouge out their eyes?"
The master of the Cheng Sect said angrily: "That depends on what your disciple has done! In addition to investigating clues in the sect, he actually peeped into the bathing of the female relatives of the sect, and he also had bad intentions, Cheng did not take his life, and he was already enough to give the face of the Sword Casting Villa!"
"There is such a thing, and he actually didn't say a word about it!" The owner of the Feng Zhuang was shocked, it seemed that the disciple who had his eyes gouged out had hidden a lot of things from him.
The owner of Feng Zhuang nodded and said: "Feng will investigate this matter carefully, if it is as the master of the Cheng Sect said, this village will severely punish that disciple, give an explanation to the Yan Daomen, and return the innocence of the Yan Daomen!"
The misunderstanding was roughly explained, and the disciples on both sides withdrew their swords, and the atmosphere suddenly eased a lot.
Jiang Chen's heart was relieved, there were really a lot of similar things he had encountered in the past two days.
A Taoist hero praised: "The boss heard another secret in a few words, and he was really intelligent, I don't know why the boss guessed so much?"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Because Ben Shuai knows that all the Taoist heroes who came to participate in the Daozi Army are all for the four words 'morality in the rivers and lakes', what kind of morality will the murderers talk about!"
Two days later, Lan Jiusi really came with the newly recruited army of Daozi Army. This army is so vast that it almost fills the entire Descending Dragon Valley!
"Didn't you say that there are 30,000 troops, how can there be so many!" Jiang Chen was surprised and delighted.
Lan Jiusi said with a smile: "Originally, it was 30,000, but I waited all the way, and there were constantly Jianghu Dao heroes joining, and when I arrived in the Descending Dragon Valley, it was already nearly 70,000!"
"Seventy thousand! plus the 30,000 people already in the Dragon Descending Valley, isn't it a hundred thousand Dao army!" Jiang Chen suddenly became arrogant: "One hundred thousand Dao troops are in hand, if it is a few demon beasts, it is the enemy Dao army to fight, what is there to fear!"
