Xu Xing didn't know what to do at this time, Elder Zhizhen said the idea of helping her, and Xu Xing then stopped leaving the temple and asked, "We are going to kill more than 5,000 people, and there are also cults to deal with, what can you do?" ”

Elder Zhizhen said seriously: "I have lived in Jiucheng for more than 50 years, and I know many things in Jiucheng well, at this time, I can also give you a lot of advice, besides, eradicating the cult and maintaining justice is also what I want to do in my authentic Buddhism, and please accept my help." ”

Xu Xing pondered for a moment, anyway, he didn't have any way now, at this time, it was better to listen to the old monk's advice, if what he said was reasonable, then he could listen to one or two, but if it didn't make sense, then there was no need to think about it.

So, Xu Xing said directly: "Then you can give us suggestions, let's listen, Brother Lin Yue, please listen to the surrounding voices." ”

However, Elder Zhizhen was not in a hurry to find the three futons, took the two of them to the main hall, sat down here, and then said: "If you want to eradicate these two demons, you need to know their means of controlling power, and then draw money from the bottom of the kettle, and start against these methods to eradicate the demons in one fell swoop." ”

Xu Xing and Lin Yue were also listening carefully, and they could now see that this old monk was not a simple character, and he must be very knowledgeable to have such an opinion.

Elder Zhizhen continued: "First of all, let's talk about Xue Ba, he has the most means, but it can be summed up, it is coercion and temptation, and clever robbery. ”

Xu Xing listened carefully, now someone is finally analyzing the enemy for her, of course she has to listen carefully, maybe, the old monk really has insight, and he can help him complete the task.

"First of all, coercion and temptation, that is, to take five thousand villains to master the most powerful power in the wine city, and the inducement is to give these people under his command and many rich people in the city privileges, so that those who have more advantageous resources can follow him. And with the power and resources in hand, no one can stop Xue Ba's rule in Jiucheng. Elder Zhizhen said.

Xu Xing nodded and said, "That's right, the elder said it well. ”

"Then there is the trick of grabbing, the aspect of the trick is naturally to collect taxes, use various reasons to loot in the wine city, and formulate the work system of the wine city, you need to work more than fifteen hours a day, and you can't eat, so that the hard workers can only barely guarantee that they don't starve to death, and they have no strength to resist. As for the seizure, it is too much, for example, it directly occupies the cultivated land near the wine city, and no one else is allowed to plant it, even if it is cultivated by itself, it is forcibly harvested after it is discovered, so as to master all the grain in the wine city, and the grain and force are in the hands of the hand, which is naturally invincible. The elder said bitterly.

Xu Xing nodded and continued: "I also know these things, but I can't connect them. ”

"Let's talk about Dong Chao, his method is the simplest, that is, brainwashing, but this is the most tricky character, even more tricky than Xue Ba, because the power in the hands of Xue Ba, the demon, can be seen, but Dong Chao's method is to use false reasoning and heresy to demagogue, and the bewitched people will be willing to serve Dong Chao, believe it or not, even if you take people to attack the cult, there will be many demagogic people who stand in front of Dong Chao, and this kind of spiritual control is even more terrifying." Elder Zhizhen said solemnly.

Xu Xing and Lin Yue nodded, at the uncle's house where they stayed last night, his daughter Xiaocui was mentally controlled, and she volunteered but didn't know that she was picking up guests, and she thought that she was accumulating merit, this kind of behavior was really insidious.

Lin Yue interjected: "Is there any solution then?" Elder Zhizhen said: "Difficult, at least it is impossible to do this in the city, even if the two of you are unique abilities, it is impossible to eradicate these two demons, the food is controlled by the other party, the guns are controlled by the other party, and even many civilians are controlled at the spiritual level, if you want to succeed in the city, it is almost impossible." ”

Xu Xing reacted quickly, and after hearing what the old monk said, he immediately asked, "What does the elder mean?" If you want to completely eradicate these two demons, you need to start from outside the city? ”

Elder Zhizhen nodded hurriedly and said: "That's right, please listen to my analysis, when Dong Chao and Xue Ba were doing evil in the city, there were many people who couldn't stand this kind of life and were forced to leave directly, and these people were actually the victims outside the city, because they had no money, they were even forbidden to enter the city, and there were 50,000 people outside the city. ”

"Fifty thousand victims?" Xu Xing couldn't help frowning, could these victims be of any use? These people have to eat the bark of the tree.

Elder Zhizhen then said: "The 50,000 victims of the disaster were full of resentment when they left the wine city, as long as they can be gathered, then they can surround the wine city, and then launch a psychological offensive, and also instigate the people to resist in the city, in this way, great things can be done, otherwise, no matter how powerful the two of you are, it is impossible to cut these two demons and their forces to the roots, now, what do you think of my suggestion?" ”

Xu Xing originally had no choice but to do it brutally, but now after hearing the old monk's plan, it suddenly dawned on him, between talking and laughing, the old monk had already mastered the victory, which was really not simple.

However, Xu Xing had also discovered something wrong, that is, the problem of gathering the victims, and then said: "This method is really good, let the victims follow me, but their stomachs can't be filled, will they still follow me in this case?" How do I think it's impossible? ”

When the homeless people are in a hurry, they will indeed attack the city, but it is impossible for these people to go hungry and follow them to fight, right? In addition, the victims of the disaster did not have any weapons in their hands, and even if they surrounded the city, it was useless.

After hearing this, the True Elder pondered for a moment and said: "Since this is the case, then we need to solve the problem of food first, it doesn't need too much, as long as we can have a week's ration, it is enough, and in addition, we have to find a way to get guns, otherwise, flesh and blood will not be able to carry bullets." ”

Xu Xing looked at Lin Yue and asked, "Brother Lin Yue, can I ask Yuzhou to support me?" It doesn't take much, 50,000 people a week's food, and 2,000, no, only 1,000 guns. ”

When Xu Xing heard that he needed food and guns, he immediately began to miss Yuzhou, and this matter must have been perfectly solved after receiving the support of Yuzhou.

However, for Xu Xing's request, Lin Yue directly refused, and said: "Impossible, especially food, you don't know how important the city lord regards food, especially this year, there is a famine all over the country, and Yuzhou has been importing food from the Qinghong Gang, if you support you now, what should Yuzhou do?" Besides, the city lord has already made it very clear before, let you complete this matter independently. ”

Xu Xing immediately showed a distressed look after hearing this, if Yuzhou can't get support, then what should I do next?

At this time, Elder Zhizhen said: "You can go and borrow grain, just below the wine city, that is Zhaotong, you can reach the opposite side after crossing the Yangtze River, and you can go back and forth in half a day, and as far as I know, Zhaotong is not affected, but there is surplus grain." ”

"What about weapons? We also need to give the victims some weapons, otherwise, these victims will not have the strength to fight back. "Xu Xing has another problem, even if he can borrow food from Zhaotong in the south, then he doesn't have weapons, is it possible to borrow weapons in Zhaotong by the way?

Elder Zhizhen frowned and thought for a while, and said: "There must be some guns among the people, but they are not in the hands of the people, if it really can't be done, then you can only target the surrounding bandits, snatch the guns from the hands of the bandits, and arm the victims." ”

Xu Xing nodded and said, "It seems that this is indeed the only way to go." ”

Suddenly, Lin Yue opened his mouth and asked, "Just now, these soldiers still respected you very much, what's going on, shouldn't these dogs be extremely vicious guys?" ”

When he said this, Elder Zhizhen suddenly showed a painful look, and then said: "This is still to blame me for not knowing people, in fact, the cult leader in your mouth is actually one of my apprentices, that is, Dong Chao, this guy, has been pretending to be a Buddha before, even I was deceived by him, and told him a lot of Buddhist teachings, and later he founded the Huanxi Sect, many of which are distorted from the authentic Buddhist teachings, this is the sin of the old man." ”

The appearance of this news suddenly made Xu Xing and Lin Yue feel surprised, in the eyes of the two, the true elder can be regarded as a high monk, but as a result, such a high monk is still the master of the leader of the cult, and the high monk has taught a scum, which is really speechless.

"And I also know that this is a sin I have committed, so I want to make amends all the time, although I am not harming others, but countless people are being killed because of me, and I cannot escape the blame. As long as I can watch Dong Chao, the demon, be killed, then I will be satisfied. Elder Zhizhen finally said helplessly.

In the eyes of the True Elder, the appearance of the cult was not caused by himself, but it was also related to his unknown knowledge, so it was strange that he failed to see Dong Chao's true face at the beginning, so at this time, he also had a heavy sense of guilt.

Xu Xing pondered for a long time, and found that at present, he could only do what he proposed according to the Supreme Elder, and now he had no way on his side, so he could only kill them one by one, and as for the obstacles that might be encountered, he had no way to deal with them at all, and now the Supreme True Elder had proposed a complete plan, and at this time, it was naturally no problem to choose a complete plan.

"Then we'll do it, I'll go borrow food now, Elder, take care, if you can't do it, hide in the cellar." Xu Xing then said to Elder Zhizhen.

Elder Zhizhen nodded, stood up, folded his hands, and said, "I only hope that you can successfully slay the demons and eliminate the demons." ”

After Xu Xing and Lin Yue left the temple, and now at this time, the whole city has been alerted, and there are few people on the street, Xu Xing and Lin Yue quickly walked towards the city wall, and they were already seen by several soldiers on the road, and these soldiers shot directly when they saw Xu Xing and Lin Yue wearing chef clothes.

Xu Xing and Lin Yue's reaction was very keen, dodging the bullet and acting, the two could barely see the trajectory of the bullet, although they couldn't dodge the bullet, but they predicted the direction of the bullet's shooting, so it was no problem to escape.

When they came to the city wall, Xu Xing and Lin Yue went out along the city wall, and the five-meter-high city wall could reach the city wall as long as they jumped up, and at this time, the soldiers on the city wall had not yet reacted, and then, Xu Xing and Lin Yue left in style.

"The enemy has fled, hurry up and inform the city lord, these two people are definitely not simple, maybe they are still strangers." When the soldiers saw this scene, the enemy was even able to dodge bullets, and in this case they rushed directly to the city wall, which was still too exaggerated.

And the residents of the city also showed hope in their eyes after seeing such a figure, and now at this time, it seems that they can be saved.
