The end of August 7895 in the Great Zhou calendar.

The news of the appearance of heretics near Chunshui Lake was collected from all sides and passed to Gan Tian, the county guard of Fengnan County.

After receiving the information, the county guard Gan Tian did not dare to slack off, and immediately convened the top leaders of the core departments of the entire Fengnan County to discuss overnight, and finally decided to take a Qi refiner of the Void Refining Realm as the leader, hundreds of Ning Shen internal guards as the core combat strength, plus thousands of elite soldiers, to jointly form an elite team, and assemble to Chunshui Lake Town as soon as possible to investigate the situation.

At the same time that Fengnan County was still in full swing and preparing to send troops.

The county guard Gan Tian received the latest news from the local secret agent in Chunshui Lake, and the letterhead said that the local county commander had led troops to round up the so-called 'immortal' in Chunshui Lake, and was accidentally killed.

Originally, when he heard that there was a so-called 'living immortal, pretending to be a god, he didn't have much emotion on Gan Tian's face.

After all, there have been more wars and turmoil over the years, and countless demons and monsters have become more and more active with the turmoil in various parts of the imperial court, and it is not uncommon for some chaotic careerists to become demons.

Gan Tian has already had a complete set of response plans for this.

As long as you follow the procedure, you won't make too much of a mess.

But when he saw that the county magistrate Zeng Youwei died in Chunshui Lake, Gan Tian's face turned white.

Nothing else - just because Zeng Youwei is the younger brother of the newly promoted Empress Zeng of the current dynasty.

Although this guy caused some ridiculous things in Hojing, he was demoted to Chunshui Lake by the upset Zhou Tianzi to become a nine-grade sesame official.

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that as long as Empress Zeng is still in the harem for a day, it is impossible for Zeng Youwei, the emperor's brother-in-law with a high status, to be exiled in the wilderness all the time.

One day, the emperor will be angry, and maybe he will be found back immediately to continue to eat and drink.

Gan Tian, as a county guard, is a second-class official and a feudal official. In every sense, he is not afraid of Zeng Youwei, but he also does not want to meddle in this kind of family history within the royal family.

Therefore, when the emperor transferred Zeng Youwei to Chunshui Lake as the county commander, Gan Tian did not ask and participated from beginning to end, and all the processes were in accordance with the normal rules.

Under normal circumstances, no one can blame this aspect.

But now Zeng Youwei died in the Chunshui Lake, and it is likely that he died on the way to eradicate the cult......

This is no less than a thunderbolt in the sky for Gan Tian.

After all, no matter how you say it, even if Zeng Youwei is a lump of mud that can't support the wall, he is still the emperor's brother-in-law and the queen's younger brother.

Identity and status are all here, even if you die accidentally because of your left foot mixing your right foot when you go out, you will definitely implicate a large number of relevant people to pay the bill.

It's just that it may be some inconsequential guards to pay for the funeral.

And now, Zeng Youwei died in Fengnan County, and he died on the most sensitive road of the imperial court to eradicate the cult.

As the county guard of Fengnan County, Gan Tian is undoubtedly the biggest backstabber in this matter.

Dare to ask if there is anything more obscure in the world?

….

finally came back to his senses from the message like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Gan Tian's face gradually turned from white to purple, looking like a piece of oxygen-deficient pork liver from a distance.

If this matter is not handled well.

Once he stabs at it, I'm afraid he will be worried about his own life.

Therefore, after seeing the contents of the secret letter, Gan Tian immediately realized the seriousness of this matter.

Immediately used his power to mobilize more people in Fengnan County, and even did not hesitate to move out all the Qi Refiner masters of the Guiyuan Realm in his own clan, and it was best to take the lead in arresting the cultists who killed Zeng Youwei before the death of Zeng Youwei was discovered by the above.

At that time, even if the above blames, he can immediately hand over the real culprit to take the blame. In this way, let's not talk about whether the black yarn hat can be saved for the time being, but at least it should be his own life saved

No problem.

Early September.

Fengnan County urgently mobilized a lot of grain, grass, soldiers and horses, and it only took a dozen days to form an extremely elite army, which went to the vicinity of Chunshui Lake under the personal leadership of Gan Tian to capture the infidels.

The officers and men moved extremely quickly, and although the turmoil caused by them was barely controlled to a relatively acceptable level, it still caused a lot of trouble in the surrounding areas.

After all, the central and southern parts of the country are the core grain-producing areas of the Great Zhou, and there has not been such an urgent military operation for many years.

[In view of the general environment,

And now, Fengnan County has made such a big noise without saying a word, and the governors and county lords of other nearby states and counties have sent letters to inquire about it, but they have not received a response from Gan Tian.

Naturally, the matter is extremely high.

The Great Zhou Imperial Court who heard the rumors everywhere was all speculating about what happened in Fengnan County, so that it would be worth Gan Tian to make such a mysterious and secret move.

After thinking about it, everyone realized that it seemed that only the 'Fire Transmission Sect, related things could cause such a big turmoil.

But the question is, hasn't the Fire Transmission Sect settled down a lot during this time?

Judging from some clues heard by the internal security detectives, the demon girl of the Fire Transmission Sect, who is good at demagoguery, seems to have left the land of the Southern Barbarians and her whereabouts are unknown......

Did you come to Pungnam-gun?

If this is the case, I am afraid that the land of fish and rice in the southern part of the entire Great Zhou is about to make a big mess.

The county guards and governors everywhere couldn't help but tighten their minds.

……

… 0…

Under Gan Tian's intensive arrangement.

An army of nearly 10,000 people set out from Fengnan County and traveled all the way south along the official road set up, driving non-stop for a month, and finally stationed in the county government of Chunshuihu County at the end of September.

After the army entered the county office, they immediately witnessed an extremely shocking scene.

——But I saw that the Chunshui Lake County Office was in a mess, all the files of eucalyptus and mountains and rivers kept in the county government were swept away, and some secret rooms were still forcibly pried open from the outside and broke in.

Seeing this scene, even Gan Tian gasped.

You must know that this is the county government of a large county, representing the majesty of the entire Great Zhou government.

But now, some people dare to spread wild in such a place, and even dare to rob the files and materials in the county government.

….

To commit such an act is tantamount to a blatant rebellion.

Even if the participants involved have nine heads, it is not enough for the Zhou government to cut off.

How dare this group of Diao people?

Aren't they afraid of being punished by the Nine Clans?

Including Gan Tian, all the soldiers and officials of Fengnan County couldn't help but be stunned when they looked at this messy scene, and they didn't dare to imagine that someone was so bold in this year.

However, just when Gan Tian and the officials under the command of Fengnan County were still in a daze, a few embarrassed officials suddenly rushed out of the inconspicuous corner of the Chunshuihu County Ya.

Seeing that they were wearing the Great Zhou standard armor, the little officials suddenly felt like they had been pardoned, and they quickly knelt on the ground and crawled to Gan Tian's boots, crying bitterly: "County guard, there are many followers of the 'Fire Transmission Sect' in our Fengnan County, and I heard that the Holy Maiden of the Fire Transmission Sect has also personally rushed here from the depths of the Nanban not far away......

"They organized the people to repel the officers and soldiers of the county government head-on, forcibly broke into the county government and took away all the files and materials of the county government......

"Keeper...... Guard, you have to call the shots for the little ones!"

When he heard this, Gan Tian's whole face immediately dropped completely.

Before.

I heard that a 'living immortal' came out of Chunshui Lake, and Gan Tian only thought it was a wandering Taoist priest who pretended to be a god and a ghost. Later, after receiving the news that Chunshui Lake County Ling Zeng Youwei died on the way to exterminate the living immortals, he began to take what happened here seriously.

But now, I hear 'Spread the fire.'

Sect, four words, he realized that what he was thinking was still too simple.

That's right, how dare ordinary people fight against the government at such a juncture?

Chunshui Lake, the so-called 'living immortal', clearly shouldn't be a charlatan.

It's really related to the Vulcan Cult!

In addition, the so-called 'holy maiden' of the Fire Transmission Sect also appeared in Chunshuihu County......

It can be seen that Fengnan County is likely to be the next direction of vigorous penetration of the Fire Transmission Sect.

After determining this.

The blood in Gan Tian's body, which had been extinguished for a long time, suddenly boiled again.

A long time ago, he had dreamed of becoming a general who fought in all directions.

However, due to pressure from all sides, he was not able to get what he wanted.

I thought that in this life, I would probably not have the opportunity to lead the troops to fight in Zongma Nanshan.

But I didn't think that it was coming to an end, and there was such a great time.

If you can wipe out the Fire Transmission Sect here, especially the so-called Holy Maiden. This great credit may be able to get him out of the embarrassing situation he is in now.

Even this is not necessarily the opportunity to return to the pinnacle of power in the Great Zhou!

As for the Fire Transmission Sect itself, it was not taken to heart by Gan Tian.

After all, no matter how evil the Fire Transmission Sect was, in his opinion, it was just a group of Xie Sect organizations that gathered a group of mud-legged people to make trouble, and it was destined to not be a big deal.

The reason why the government has been unable to do anything about it in the past two years is simply because the traces of its core decision-making level are erratic and difficult to find, and the speed at which the doctrine spreads and spreads is too fast.

It's like a wildfire on a plain covered with licorice, and it only takes a wind to blow and it will be a fire that covers the sky and the sun.

….

It's not about how powerful it is.

Therefore, in Gan Tian's expectation, even if the Fire Transmission Sect organized a certain amount of armed force, it should be completely vulnerable in the face of the nearly 10,000 elite regular troops of the imperial court that he is now leading.

If the Zoroastrianism really set up its headquarters here, the core of its sect, the Holy Maiden, has not left here.

For the Great Zhou court, I am afraid there is no better opportunity to exterminate the Fire Transmission Sect than this.

Thinking of this, Gan Tian couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.

He licked his lips, his eyes showed a bit of fierceness, and he looked down at the panicked little official at his feet and asked, "Zeng County Commander is dead, except for you, what about the others in the county office?"

The little official looked frightened when he heard this, and after feeling Gan Tian's scrutinizing gaze, he hurriedly replied, "Hey...... Report to the county keeper, the chief bookkeeper and the county keeper...... They, they've all been taken away by the Fire Cult, and they've heard that they're going to be tried in a few days......

Hearing this, Gan Tian's face showed a bit of anger, and after a while, he suddenly laughed angrily: "The Fire Transmission Sect has been arrogant in the southern ravines for a few years, and I really think that no one in this world can cure you, right? A group of Diao people really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and this official wants to see why you have a public trial!"

……

… 0…

Time flickered and more than ten days passed.

Gan Tian mobilized officers and soldiers from several surrounding counties to tightly seal off the roads around Chunshui Lake County, and even the passes above and below Chunshui Lake were heavily guarded.

The military forces of the entire Pungnam County have been mobilized.

For the members of the Fire Transmission Sect, he weaved a net of heaven and earth with no way to heaven and no door to the earth.

At the end of September, the cool breeze arrives, the white dew falls, and the cicadas chirp.

The eagle is a sacrificial bird, and it is slain with the beginning.

The people near Chunshui Lake got up early on this day, took their respective benches and walked out of the house, and tacitly came to the shrine dedicated to Li Yueming.

At this moment, the small courtyard where Li Yueming is located is completely different from the past.

Not only has the courtyard doubled in size, but there are also various exquisitely carved pavilions and pavilions.

Next to the small bamboo forest outside the main courtyard gate, no

The tube is always smoky, and incense from all directions is endless.

Although the overall layout still looks like a small courtyard, there is more of a charm that is no different from those well-known Qi Refiner Taoist Temples.

Because I felt the real luck of heaven and earth poured into my body.

Li Yueming was a little interested in this road of pretending to be a ghost.

Therefore, in these years, in addition to daily practice, Li Yueming's spirit scattered in the outside world will also do something for the people around him.

For example, if someone asks for a child, if it is because of physical reasons, Li Yueming will take care of it.

For example, if someone is seriously ill and cannot afford to be cured, if he is not terminally ill and cannot be cured, Li Yueming will more or less clear some pain for him according to his specific situation.

Of course, it is not that Li Yueming is unwilling, but that he is powerless.

After all, people live in the world and will always suffer all kinds of suffering. Some sufferings are self-inflicted, while others are misfortunes.

….

But no matter what, Li Yueming is neither a bodhisattva nor a savior. All he could do was to show a little bit of the so-called 'immortals', and to alleviate his urgent needs.

As for wanting to get what you want here, it's definitely impossible.

But for this real world, which is even more hellish than hell, this little thing he did was enough to shine in all directions.

……

In just over a year, his fame as the so-called immortal of Chunshui Lake has spread from this area of Chunshui Lake to the entire towns and counties near Chunshui Lake.

Because he never had to offer gold or silver to worship here. The people under his care spontaneously renovated and expanded the courtyard for him, and even a wealthy merchant wanted to erect a golden statue for him to thank him for his merits in helping the suffering people of the world.

It's just that they were all rejected by Li Yueming.

This period of relative calm lasted for most of the year, until it ended more than two months ago.

Su Xuan, who has changed her appearance and become the Holy Maiden of the Fire Transmission Sect, received the news, changed her identity all the way and finally came to Chunshui Lake to find Li Yueming, and found that Li Yueming had become a god worshiped by the local people here, and immediately began to crown the identity of the supreme god of the Fire Transmission Sect on his body.

If it had been placed a year ago, Li Yueming might have refused.

After all, it's good for the Fire Transmission Sect to be held in Su Xuan's hands, he only needs to stand behind the scenes and control the overall situation, and it is not suitable to stand in front of the stage and show his head.

But now this year's harvest has made Li Yueming feel the benefits of stealing the luck of heaven and earth.

Not to mention the others, Li Yueming has gained more favor from heaven and earth, and the speed of inducing qi into the body alone is already faster than in the past, I don't know how many times.

Even when Li Yueming tried to open the sixth human body treasure, after having more heaven and earth luck, a lot of sudden burst of spiritual light burst out.

This is only the effect of heaven and earth's luck on the surface.

As for the other hidden effects that are incomprehensible and invisible, there are countless of them.

- This thing is something that the world consciousness uses to cultivate the children of destiny, and it is the core source substance of the world consciousness!

Every wisp of stealing is a sea change for the individual.

……

Therefore, Li Yueming did not reject Su Xuan's proposal, but began to integrate with the Fire Transmission Sect.

After all, in this kind of fantasy world, the territory is vast.

Many ordinary people can't get out of their own one-third of an acre of land in their lives.

If you want to expand your influence, in addition to staying up for time, the most effective thing is to make a bigger noise.

As for the follow-up repulsion of the officers and soldiers, and the looting of the documents and county records in the county office, it was the first action after the fusion of the Fire Transmission Sect and Li Yueming.

As for the purpose...... Very simple.

It is to replace the already decaying Great Zhou government and avenge the people's grievances.

Li Yueming is ready to rely on Da Zhou from this perspective

The foundation of existence was uprooted.

At that time, Li Yueming had the bright card of the Star Moon Army in his hand, which could tear apart the army defense line of the Great Zhou on the frontal battlefield, and secretly could hollow out the ruling foundation of the entire Great Zhou through the Fire Transmission Sect.

Under the internal and external merger, as long as the Xingyue Army can attack Hojing, the work of taking over the territory of the Great Zhou will be extremely smooth, and it will not give other countries time to rip off bamboo.

When the dust settles, even if the rest of the countries still want a piece of the pie, they will have to think carefully about whether they can pay the price that matches it.
