Chapter 365: The City King of the Great Han?
After a brief consultation, the people accepted the fact that they would soon have to change their land to continue their lives.
But there are still many problems left for them.
At present, the biggest and most important thing is that in this wilderness, tens of thousands of people gathered, which seems to be quite a lot, but in fact it is only a small part of the huge population of Liangzhou.
It is not easy to find the county orders of other prefectures in Liangzhou, and even the lost history of the thorns, it is not an easy task to gather these hundreds of thousands of people, let alone persuade others to accept the agreement they have made with the King of Youling.
Of course, in the process of examining and thinking, the county order is more troublesome for me to think about the former, as for the latter. In addition to the county orders, soldiers, and even the assassins, who have a big business and are as densely intertwined as a spider web in the Han's care, in fact, most of the people at the bottom will only hesitate slightly, and they will definitely accept it happily in the end.
After all, if they choose the second path, then when the Western Regions move over, how will their previous lives change?
Nothing has changed.
Liangzhou is located in the northwest of the Han Dynasty, far away from the rich places of the Central Plains, while its own environment is also relatively harsh, coupled with the long and narrow state capital terrain and the proximity to the Xiongnu, the Western Regions, the Qiang people and other foreign races, forcing Liangzhou Although it is one of the thirteen states directly under the Han Dynasty, it is quite unpopular within the Han Dynasty.
Although the meat eaters in the court were aware of the huge defensive value of Liangzhou and the geographical location of connecting the Western Regions in the north and uniting in the south, Liangzhou was far away from the Central Plains, and the cost of transporting troops and military supplies to the local area was high. In peacetime, this problem is not prominent, but in times of war, the high maintenance costs incurred by war readiness, transportation, etc., will be very burdensome for the empire.
The wars between the Eastern Han Empire and the surrounding nomads were very frequent, and the southwest and north of Liangzhou were bordered by the nomads, and the border defense pressure was very great, especially the Qiang people in the southwest fought with the Eastern Han Empire for hundreds of years, which made the Eastern Han Empire consume a lot of manpower and material resources. Although Liangzhou embodies the value of defending the empire and resisting the attacks of nomads, it has also become a black hole for the empire's financial expenditure.
Because of this, some people in the Eastern Han Dynasty court had the conservative idea of shrinking the front, giving up the Western Regions and Liangzhou, and defending heavily in Bingzhou and Yizhou.
Of course, ideas are ideas, but before the dust settles, the existence of Liangzhou is still necessary, but after this experience, the voice of abandoning Liangzhou will inevitably be noisy in the court.
Liangzhou was shattered by the war of the gods, but the Western Regions couldn't please it, under the fire, how many alien races were buried in the sea of fire, not to mention the soul of the Huns in the north who were burned by the Shinto handle, it can't be said that the Huns have collapsed so far, but it is also a great injury, and the only one who can be regarded as troublesome in a short period of time is the Qiang people located on the plateau.
Yizhou can also replace the work of fighting the Qiang people, not to mention that Yizhou is rich and can greatly reduce maintenance costs.
In addition, within the Great Han, the earth fell like rain.
When the earth is here, although they also let the gods be in trouble, let their existence show the necessity of the gods, to obtain a large amount of incense and sacrifices, although it is also very bad, but there are still some rules for someone to govern, but after all the earth is dead, the cow snake gods who have lost their control will inevitably go crazy cholera, and the Han will inevitably send troops to suppress it.
In this way, even if Liangzhou continues to exist, it has become a stepmother's raiser, and his father does not love his mother, how long can he support it on his own.
Rather than wait until the suppressed emotions can no longer be contained, and a rebellion breaks out in Liangzhou, it is better to plan early.
Of course, this is viewed from the perspective of the prefectural order.
The people don't think so much, their idea is very simple, Liangzhou has a bad harvest, and they have to pay taxes, and from time to time the Qiang people and the Huns come to fight the autumn wind, in addition, although Liangzhou is deserted, but also because of the narrow area, there is not much range that can be used by the human race, and there are a large number of cattle and snake gods in the wilderness. Is the choice really hard to make?
Of course, that's the conundrum after that.
The top priority is to raise the basic supplies and food needed for the lives of these tens of thousands of people.
After all, when the incident happened suddenly, everyone fled without taking too much possessions with them, and some people only had one or two meals of dry cakes, and lived on the river, and now, without knowing when the King of Youling set off to return home, eating and lodging have become the top priority.
The latter is okay, and he can live for ten days and half a month by building a straw hut, but if he lacks food, he will have to starve to death in a few days.
Thinking of this, the prefectural commander's gaze crossed the cut down land, jumped over the uneven hills, and looked at the city in the distance. Now, they are still the people of the Han Dynasty, in this case, it is not too much for Yizhou to provide some relief food for the people to tide over the difficulties, right?
As for the hard life that has been going on in Liangzhou for so long, this bit of food should be compensated by the big man!
When the county order summoned the subordinate officials, dismantled people to go to Bingzhou and other directions to find the separated people in Liangzhou, and sent people to the nearby county town to ask for food.
Zhang Ke, who packed the tribute on the offering table into his stomach, felt a slightly full stomach, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he was ready to start doing business.
Although these people decided to go with him to the afterlife, someone had to clean up the mess in Liangzhou.
It stands to reason that this is the work that the Great Han Landlords have to do, but this is not the name and surname of the Landlord who have been killed by Zhang Ke, although the remaining number is large, but it is not easy to gather enough land to move such a huge area as the Western Regions.
What's more, now, the local gods of the Han Dynasty are quite afraid of Zhang Ke, and I am afraid that before he can find him, they will all run away early.
Rather than being thankless, it is better to go into battle yourself, anyway, the Western Regions have been taken over by Cangyu, and it won't take much effort to move it.
Well, Zhang Ke is a good-hearted person, accustomed to sacrificing himself for others, not only doing things, but also packing garbage for the Han Dynasty, and bringing the broken and useless Liangzhou out of the Han world.
In terms of the gods, Zhang Ke is not ready to give up, but just refers to the previous one, relying on himself to kill them one by one, and some things are half the effort.
After a little thought, he skillfully took out the blue jade from his arms.
The yellow and green crystal jade in his hand suddenly gave birth to a dark aura, and quickly spread the entire seal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Zhang Ke held up the cangyu and said in a shocking voice:
"Today, I take the throne of the king of the city, temporarily replace the lord of the netherworld, open the underworld, and set up the position of the yin god, so as to divide the order of yin and yang of the Han Dynasty."
With Zhang Ke's voice, the clear full moon above his head suddenly dimmed, and the layers of clouds and mist covered the moonlight, and the light of thousands of stars could no longer shine on the world, and countless spirits who were practicing by the moonlight were forcibly kicked out of the state of cultivation because of the sudden concealment of the moonlight.
And with the stars and moon lurking, a breeze suddenly blew in the entire land of the Han Dynasty.
The wind became more and more intense, from the cool breeze to the whimpering and flowing in just a cup of tea, and with the blowing of the wind, the big man, who was in the early autumn season, suddenly seemed to have entered a cold winter, and a thin layer of frost condensed on the grass and trees.
The beasts in the mountains and forests were even more hurried, hissing and gathering in the caves and low-lying places
And this is just the prelude to the change.
Far away in the north of Yizhou, Zhang Ke in the mountains, looking at his words, spread throughout the entire territory of the Han Dynasty, the turbulent changes, and the corners of his mouth showed an imperceptible smile.
Although he opened the head, and Cangyu and his own netherworld authority also played a role in it, it was really beyond his ability to spread over the vast territory of the mythical Han in such a short period of time.
To put it bluntly, Zhang Ke just started up, but the world itself was stunned and helped him complete the follow-up actions.
No fuss.
Whether it is a god or a soul, a living being who has already died once should not exist in the material plane, perhaps in the void, there are other worlds in the material plane that can carry life and live under the same sky as the undead, but Kyushu obviously follows the trend.
The existence of the Netherworld itself is to house the souls of the dead and the gods.
Even in ancient times, when chaos was not divided, in view of the dislike of the earthly human race and the mountains and seas, and the predation of some strange beasts, the gods could only hide in the netherworld, trembling.
And the treacherous gods of the Han Dynasty just picked a good time.
It just so happened that the Heavenly Court was first established, and it encountered the trouble of having to go to the outer lands to fight, and the earthly gods were more or less laissez-faire for their own needs and incense, which caused the result of the treacherous cholera.
But existence does not mean rationality.
In fact, even according to the normal mythological history books, after Zhang Daoling cut down the mountain and destroyed the temple, the immortals and gods also ended their busyness and returned to their respective positions, and the establishment of the underworld was quickly established.
In the following dynasties, although strange rumors occurred frequently, it was difficult to exist in groups like the Qin and Han dynasties.
And what Zhang Ke did only accelerated the process.
It's like a relative of yours who dislikes a lot, when your family is building a new house, he takes the initiative to come to the door and wants to help, even if he suspects that he has bad intentions, but as long as he doesn't do any substantial damage, you will really choose to stop the other party?
With the howling of the biting cold wind, on the dim earth, there was gradually a yin and evil, and the yin and evil of the original body, in the case of a large number of gatherings, formed an existence like a fog, covering the earth with a layer of silver veil.
And where the city is located, because of the gathering of human races, the interweaving of yang energy and the national fortune of the Han Dynasty, the fog is blocked near the city wall.
Staying in the wilderness, spreading, whistling.
Those unknown gods, watching the yin and evil rising, seemed to permeate all directions, and the shackles that had been pressed on the top of their heads were gone, and they became active one after another, walked out of their old nests, and gathered into a huge torrent of yin soldiers.
From the mountains, forests, tombs, and low-lying places, they surged out of various roads, swept and looted, and any creature that came into contact with them in the wild could not escape the end of being detached from the body.
On the Yizhou side, the thick fog did not expand outward.
Every time a wisp of gloom appeared, it hurried to the northern mountains as if summoned by an invisible call.
And here, the endless yin and evil are gathering, under the line of sight that even ordinary people can clearly observe, there are shadows in the thick fog, and countless figures move here, carrying pieces of rough polished bluestone, and start to build on a flat ground somewhere.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, a bluestone portal carved with countless fierce spirits and a height of 100 zhang is rapidly taking shape.
In the process of building the portal, the yin evil that was summoned here was like mud and sand, blending into the gaps in the contact of these bluestones, bonding the originally separated bluestones together, and with the formation of the huge bluestone portal, a pure black light suddenly rose up, and went straight to the sky.
Trick Gate Pass (Humble Version)
It doesn't have the grandeur of the original, nor does it have the endless capacity of the original, but the basic work of attracting the dead is still up to the task.
Moreover, although the materials and the process of building are quite simple, because of the cooperation of the world's assistance and authority, this trickster door can be used again and again without being seriously damaged, and the nine hundred and ninety-nine fierce souls carved on the door are each enough to hold a hundred or so tricks, or a trick king-level trick god.
The addition of the Trick God will increase the ontological ability of the Trick Gate, expand the scope to attract those souls, and even some of the fierce spirits who have just transformed will not escape the call.
Behind it is a direct path to the Netherworld, and once you set foot it, it is difficult to forcibly change direction unless you have the strength of the state capital.
From the moment it towers, until the day it is destroyed, it will continue to stand here, revealing its form every night, opening its doors wide, and pulling the souls of the dead to reincarnate in the netherworld.
Of course, because of the lack of the six realms of reincarnation, the souls can only use the most primitive methods, and after the souls are scattered, only the true spirits are reincarnated.
And the six reincarnations are not what Zhang Ke can stand up now, even if it is a simplified version, he does not have the corresponding authority and materials, as for the world itself to cooperate with Zhang Ke, it is already very face-saving, this kind of authority related to the fundamental authority of the world, he does not expect the other party to convey it to himself.
The moment the Trick Gate Pass was completed, along with the eruption of the pillar of light that opened to the sky, at the same time, the Trick God in the existing twelve states of the Han Dynasty felt a throbbing from the heart.
It was as if some kind voice was calling out to him to go to the promised land.
Some powerful and long-lived gods were able to wake up from that psychedelic feeling in time, but even so, one by one they were scared out of a cold sweat.
It was terrifying enough to be quietly bewitched, but what was even more terrifying was that in the brief time that the true spirits were blinded, they actually left their nests, leaped into the air, and really galloped some distance in a certain direction to the west.
"Well, where are you going?"
Jingzhou, near Lingnan Jiaozhou, in a mountain cave.
Returning to his throne of white bones, the one-horned trickster king with palpitations looked at the sluggish souls in the cave and couldn't help but roar.
However, even if its voice was very loud, the mana mixed in it consumed nearly a quarter of itself, echoing in the cave, causing large and small rubble to fall continuously, and it could not wake up these sleeping subordinates, only a few left and right hands took this opportunity to wake up.
"I'm the king, I can't let them go with their feelings, otherwise your hegemony doesn't have enough soldiers to support it, and you won't be able to succeed, you try again, if you really can't wake up, why don't you imprison these yin soldiers and tricks for the time being, and then consider it?"
The trickster who had just woken up, after seeing the ugly look of the trick king, quickly used his brain to give a suggestion.
At this time, the one-horned trickster king didn't care much, the majestic mana was transmitted along with the sound, the cave itself, and even the mountains were trembling, and for a while, the earth and rocks in the mountains fell like rain.
However, even if more than half of the mana of the Trick King was consumed, the condensed soul body was a little pale and illusory.
After all, only a few people can come to their senses, about a few thousand, and more treacherous people and those soldiers who have not been able to transform for a long time still show no sign of sobering up, and still staggering forward.
Seeing that they had already come out of the cave at this time, they were about to go down the mountain.
The One-Horned King also knew that he could not hesitate, and hurriedly took the awakened murderous spirits to capture those blinded souls.
At the same time, in the land of the Han Dynasty, the same scene is being staged in various mountains and wild places, because of the distance, the situation in Youzhou is relatively good, but under the command of these treacherous gods, there are still a large number of tricky people embarking on the journey home.
As for the ownerless soul wandering in the wilderness, he didn't even have a chance to wake up, so he staggered on the road to the west.
Just when the world was dragged by the tricky gate because of a large number of souls, and embarked on the direct return journey to the netherworld, in the field where the gloom was full and everything was covered by thick fog, there was suddenly a cluster of orange and yellow light.
A warm glow lit up from the trees beside the official road.
The gloom that turned into a fog around them seemed to have encountered some natural enemy, and they fled in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, an empty circle with a diameter of more than ten meters was vacated on the side of the road.
In the circle, several monks dressed in robes with reflective skulls looked at the souls gathered in front of them solemnly.
They looked at each other.
These days, the changes in the big Han are becoming more and more incomprehensible!
First of all, an extraterritorial demon suddenly appeared in Jingzhou, and after killing the land of Jingzhou and the god of the river to control the water, he fled in a hurry, and the earth was chased like a red eye, it is said that a day ago, the two sides had met in Liangzhou, and the war was in full swing. It's a pity that the dense fog that enveloped the entire Liangzhou and the many people present caused the Bodhisattva to not dare to stay longer, but after a hurried observation, he stayed away from the battlefield, leaving only an imperceptible divine thought, vaguely sensing the result of the battle of Liangzhou.
Therefore, Lingshan, oh no, it should be said that it is the White Horse Temple.
In the eleventh year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Buddhism was introduced into the Han Dynasty, and the first temple under the jurisdiction of the imperial court was built in Sizhou - the White Horse Temple, which was the beginning of the spread of Buddhism to Kyushu, and with the savings of Buddhism in the Han Dynasty, it is still not able to build the Lingshan Buddha land.
The rise of Buddhism and the real emergence of Lingshan are still thousands of years later, in the late Jin Dynasty and the era of Wuhu Chaohua.
At present, Buddhism is still in the node of obscene development and accumulation of strength.
Of course, even if they are weak, it does not prevent these monks from the West from yearning and curiosity about the Han Dynasty, because of the yearning, so this ancient land has been turned into a holy land of Buddhism, and it has become a pure land of great harmony in the world, and everyone is kind is also their dream goal.
Therefore, although there is only the White Horse Temple as a foothold of Buddhism, when he noticed the sudden change in the limelight of the Han Dynasty, he couldn't help but show his head.
If you don't take advantage of the fact that the local immortals and gods in Kyushu are fighting outside, you don't have time to take care of the local kung fu, and when the master comes back, where is their chance.
What's more, if you really find a little clue, take this opportunity to eat a big bite and shorten the time!
In fact, they did the same, but because there were too many people in this world, it was not easy to be blatant, so most of their actions were confined to the netherworld, and only a very small part of them were placed on the ground.
In this way, when they noticed that the aura of the entire Sizhou had changed abruptly, the gloom was rising, and they were hiding in the wilderness, and the souls in the horns were like queuing up, and when they came out, the monks in the White Horse Temple immediately couldn't help but send some people out to inquire about the situation.
Acute bronchitis, but the inflammation is very deep close to the lungs, take medicine first and then look at the situation after two days, if you can't control it, you have to have an infusion
