Chapter 179: Tianya Pavilion, Martial Immortal
The forty-seven years of Xiangxing stumbled like this, and he had no choice but to finish in various turbulences, but the next was not the forty-eighth year of Xiangxing, but the first year of Tongzhi.
At this time, the world suddenly realized that Emperor Xiangxing, who ruled Daxu for forty-seven years, was really dead, and he was now only Renzong in the Taimiao.
The new emperor's new year and new era did not sweep away the decline at the end of Xiangxing, and Daxu's national fortunes still slipped towards an irreversible abyss.
In January of the first year of Tongzhi, there were 153 rebellions in the entire 48 prefectures of Daxu alone, which were reported to the capital and reported to the Shangdi newspaper, and the smoke was billowing out.
And the regent's single-handedly led policy of "sealing the princes to respect Zhengshuo" does not seem to have had the desired effect, and a large number of Jiedu feudal towns have appeared in various parts of Daxu, like a country within a country.
In the Demon General's Mansion, Xuan Yiwei commanded Yao Ping to rush back from the outside, and he personally held a wooden box to be delivered to Zhou Bai.
"Report, lord, Tianya Pavilion has sent the latest letter."
The ministers and generals passing by in the house, and even the Taoist officials on duty all looked sideways, what needs to be delivered by Yao Ping, who has not appeared for a long time.
Xuanyiwei has now become the general's mansion, and they are all tacitly and very feared existences, two commanders, Yao Ping externally, Yao An internally.
There are also good deeds, who call Yao Ping's manpower the Eagle Guard, and the manpower in charge of Yao An is called the Wolf Guard, and the sight is inside and near the lair.
In the study, Zhou Bai took out a key from the dark compartment, and then opened the secret letter wooden box that he had just delivered.
He was looking forward to the contents, because this was the first time since the establishment of Tianya Pavilion that they had all been contacted, and everyone had exchanged information.
Tianya Pavilion was proposed by Zhou Bai, and its name also comes from a poem he left for other Jinshi during the retreat of Jinting Dongtian.
"There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor."
Its original intention is to connect the Jinshi connections of the 47th year of Xiangxing, and the forty-eight celestial Jinshi come from all over the world.
The headquarters of Tianya Pavilion is set up in Luozhou, which lives in the heart of the world, and is taken care of by Zhou Bai's friend Si Jie, a person from Luozhou, and the letters and messages of other Tianren Jinshi can be sent to Luozhou Tianya Pavilion for transit and summary.
However, before Zhou Bai was awarded the title of Tianjue Demon General, there were very few letters sent to Tianya Pavilion, and they came and went with the information of several friends such as Si Jie, Pang Lesheng, and Shi Xiu.
It wasn't until General Fu Mo opened the mansion, captured the warships, and became famous, that the network of contacts he promoted in one fell swoop could be regarded as really playing a role.
The celestials also realized that in such troubled times, even the heavenly court could not guarantee their safety, and it was necessary to communicate and form alliances.
No, in the first batch of news exchanges in the first year of Tongzhi, forty-eight Jinshi celestials, including Zhou Bai, all sent the news that they knew and wanted to ask for help to Tianya Pavilion.
Zhou Bai opened the wooden box with a special key, and forty-seven letters were neatly stacked inside, each of which was written in a pen with a dragon and a snake, each with its own merits, all of which were masters of calligraphy.
"Li Bosheng, a salt dealer in Xuzhou, controls thirteen large and small salt farms, and hundreds of smuggler salt dealers obey his orders, and local officials are all infiltrated by him, and they are suspected of having great ambitions."
"In the winter of last year, Fan Chong, the new envoy of Linshan County, wantonly recruited his subordinates, and the Green Forest Army increased to 500,000, and the power of a county could never be supported. Since the letter was issued, its vanguard army of 100,000 was directed at Taihe County, Taizhou, under the banner of Taihezhou County, and the banner was that Taihe Prefecture was defending and rebelling, and Linshan was the imperial court's screen domain, and it should contribute to the imperial court to clear the rebellion. ”
"Xiangzhou Zhong Xiang rebelled, led 30,000 water thieves to capture Donghu County in one fell swoop, and his luck was vigorous.
"The king of Xiyuan County in Liangzhou took the lead in suppressing foreign warships, sweeping away the ghosts in the territory, and won the support of the people and gentry. The king of the county suspected that the edict of the first emperor was false, and publicly accused the regent of controlling the young emperor, and called on people of insight in the world to raise troops to clear the king's side. ”
"The Daxu Imperial Court is frantically gathering resources from all over the world, and elite soldiers from all over the country are transferred to core control areas such as Zhongzhou, Luozhou, and Bianzhou, repairing the city and increasing checkpoints...... The imperial court should want to give up the corners of the four corners and stick to the Central Plains to wait for the time. ”
"There are many hidden dragons in Xishu, and the sects have joined the WTO to help the dragon, and there are nine people who have hidden dragon meteorology at the moment."
"In the north, the six princes of Lingzhou had a conflict with the governor, and the court issued an order to reprimand the governor, and the six princes were able to enter the state government......"
Zhou Bai flipped through the letters one by one, and had an intuitive feeling of the situation in the world in his heart, which was much more detailed and accurate than reading the newspaper and relying on Xuanyiwei, who had not yet spread out the stalls, to collect news.
There is no way, the first batch of members who can enter Tianya Pavilion are all second-class jinshi in Xiangxing for forty-seven years, which one is not the elite of the elite, and there is no shortage of luck and status.
Even the families from which many people are born are basically family counties, such as Zhou Bai, who was born in a township and is a jinshi, there is no one.
And it may be that in order to make up for the previous cold attitude, these Jinshi were all passing on relevant information about the local Qianlong and the feudal town heroes to each other in the same year.
Because this is what Zhou Bai is interested in, the Fu Demon General's Mansion occupies half of Bei'an County, and no one can see what he is going to do.
Facts speak louder than words, what Zhou Bai is doing now, even if he doesn't fight for the last position, at least he has to divide one side.
After reading the letter, Zhou Bai wrote down a few of his judgments.
One is related to the celestial phenomena, after the flood there will be a great drought, and the first year of Tongzhi will be a year of great drought.
The second is the spiritual tide, and now the mountains and rivers that have signs of spiritual energy spitting out must be firmly occupied.
At the latest, in June, that is, during the summer harvest, the tide of spiritual energy in the mortal world will reach a peak, and the spiritual veins generated in various places will also "mature".
The third is based on the judgment of the peak of the spiritual tide, that is, it is necessary to help the local government or Haoqiang before June to eliminate the foreign warships that have taken root.
This is not only a way to obtain Heavenly Skill and turn into a Heavenly Official in advance, but also because the second wave of warship invasion in the Qingxu Realm should also be chosen at the time of the peak of the Mortal Spirit Tide.
At that time, there will be spiritual objects everywhere, and even the spiritual veins can be directly attacked as a base, and the suppression of the rules of the Heavenly Dao of this realm will not be able to last as much as it is now.
After Zhou Bai finished reading the letter and wrote a reply, Yao Ping stood aside respectfully to report the situation.
"My lord, the current way of transmitting news in Tianya Pavilion is the channel of the heavenly people. In order to ensure timely delivery, ten foreign guards have been placed in, and Si Jie Gongzi also acquiesced to this. ”
Zhou Bai bowed slightly: "Well, he won't care, and when the communication is unimpeded and the resources are enough to arrange the long-distance Dao Xun array, he will move the headquarters of Tianya Pavilion to Dingzhou." ”
Yao Ping bowed down to receive the order, and submitted his own work report: "At present, the foreign guards can guarantee that each big state has a sub-stronghold, and except for the northern border and a few key big states you explained, other sub-strongholds can't play much role, and some only have two or three foreign guards lurking. ”
"In the past six months, the outer guards have spent a lot of money, but they haven't found too much useful information, and their subordinates are ashamed!
”
After speaking, Yao Ping's face was already red, compared to the role played by his younger brother in Bei'an, he didn't have the slightest sense of existence outside.
Zhou Bai didn't open the document of the debriefing, just pressed it aside, and then said to Yao Ping: "Xuanyiwei commanded Yao Ping to listen to the order, in view of the performance in the past six months, I will give you the Innate Pill as a reward." ”
"Now that the way of the world has changed, although you are diligent in practicing martial arts after following me, only the acquired realm is not enough to protect yourself. Before leaving this time, I will first go to Cangshan to serve the Dan to break through the innate realm, and leave a cave for you there. ”
Yao Ping took the Dan bottle, and he was already crying, the innate pill was a treasure pill that the Daxu royal family could hardly save.
The acquired martial artist was subordinated, and he was appointed as the governor of the second vein, cultivating a breath of innate true qi, and since then he has become among the extraordinary ranks.
Most of the monks looked down on mortal martial artists, but the innate martial artists were exceptional, and they were invincible in the realm of entering the Dao within a hundred steps.
The weaker Second Realm, in the case of a surprise attack, will also be injured.
Of course, it is limited to injury, the monk transforms into the mortal realm, and the various functions of the body are transformed, and the innate martial artist will not die if he resists a single move.
"Go ahead, do it well, as long as I will go out of Dingzhou in the future, and the foreign guards can play their due role."
Seeing that Yao Ping wanted to say something, Zhou Bai waved his hand to see off the guests, he knew the difficulties in the early stage of intelligence work, and he couldn't see the results.
All this needs to be foreshadowed, and only when the intelligence network is completely laid out will the expected spy agency really exert its authority.
"Bang bang bang, minister, retire!" Yao Ping knew the temperament of his father-in-law, so he silently kowtowed three times, and went out with a resolute face.
The Innate Pill is indeed very precious, equivalent to an ordinary Tsukidan.
However, the Innate Pill is only the most inconspicuous one among the five hundred and twenty-five points that Zhou Bai spent on to exchange for a large number of elixirs.
Regarding the suppression of the ghost tide, the Heavenly Court's reward for Chao Qu was a decree that stabilized the divine body that had fallen into a state of disintegration.
In addition, the Heavenly Court came forward to unravel the affiliation between Chao Qu and the Daxu Dragon Court, and in the future, it will not be subject to any restrictions from the Daxu Imperial Court.
As for Zhou Bai, he only gave 500 points of contribution, which was far less than the 3,000 points that he handed over to the warship.
Yuling Heavenly Disc Inquiry Heavenly Gong: Four turns, three thousand five hundred and twenty-five points.
With so much heavenly work, of course Zhou Bai has to spend it, and he spends it directly.
Generally, the magic weapons used by monks in the first realm and the second realm are mostly magic weapons, even if they are sect monks and scattered cultivators, they are only different in the level of magic weapons.
Only above the three realms, the cultivation is strong enough to be able to control the real magic weapon.
Zhou Bai used a thousand points of contribution to exchange for a low-grade magic weapon-level military flag, and he was ready to use it as the real military flag of the Demon Army.
This magic weapon military flag does not need to be controlled by monks, and its effect is to invigorate the morale of the army, unite the military spirit, and give full play to the overall strength of the army.
And with an elite army, the more wars it experiences, the level of the military flag will be improved, which is a growth magic weapon, otherwise it will not be more expensive than the mountain protection array.
It may not be very effective against the same mortal army, but once it is against extraordinary power, it can show the unpredictable ability of "rebelling against immortals".
This is the forbidden remnants left over from the period of the ancient emperors, and the heavenly court was still a little jealous, and it has been hidden from the world.
Now that the war between the two realms is unpredictable, life and death are unpredictable, and some taboos are no longer taboos, as long as they are useful for resisting the great enemy, anything can be changed.
In addition, Zhou Bai spent 2,000 points to contribute, and invited the only martial immortal in the Heavenly Court, Zhang Wufeng and Zhang Immortal, to improve and improve the martial arts techniques in the Jingwu Strategy.
In the end, I got a martial arts holy method, innate skill, as the name suggests, it will be much easier to cultivate this skill to reach the innate realm.
Why has the mortal martial arts endured for a long time, and has never been completely eliminated.
It is because thousands of years ago, there was a person who shattered the void and ascended to become an immortal.
