Chapter 172: Smell the Beast Tide Again
Some things are always difficult to break through the first time.
But as long as there is a first time, then the second, third, and even countless times become logical.
is like Luo Han and Yulan's relationship.
From avoiding it before, to now talking about everything, like sisters, it took less than half a month.
Of course, this is mainly due to Magnolia.
She seems to have a natural affinity that no other woman sees as a threat or an adversary.
The good is like water, and if water is good for all things without fighting, the world cannot compete with it.
Luo Han lived in the No. 3 mansion and started a new life.
As for the B2 Cave Mansion, she would only go there when she was alchemy, and by the way, she would take care of the medicine garden.
Yu Xian said that the only thing he was dissatisfied with was that Luo Han was too shy, so he could only take a shot to change places, and run back and forth in the east and west courtyards in the middle of the night.
By the way, there is also a Zhao Shiwen.
This nominal concubine is now fully integrated into the position of deputy director of the tax department, and her cultivation has barely cultivated to the perfection of her qi.
It doesn't take long to start breaking through the foundation building realm.
However, just like when she was in the Zhao family's land, Zhao Shiwen took the unit as her home, and would not come to the main house to disturb the eldest woman on weekdays, and abided by her duties as a concubine.
Although Yu Xian's cultivation is important, all his energy is used to deal with the two women in the family, but occasionally he will go to the tax department to adjust his taste.
Office romance has a different taste.
Especially watching Deputy Director Zhao, who is famous in Shangyang City, take off his cold coat in front of him,
And then......
Yu Xian's despicable heart was greatly satisfied.
Time passes slowly.
In the case that Yu Xian doesn't want to find trouble, no one is idle to find death to find trouble for Yu Xian.
……
Half a year later.
Mansion No. 3.
Yu Xian spent his 60th birthday in a low-key manner, and is thinking about today's great joy and should be celebrated.
As a result, someone from the City Lord's Mansion invited him to the room of his former eldest brother.
"Beast tide?!"
The teacup that Yu Xian had just picked up trembled and almost fell.
"Uncle, don't joke with me."
Chen Xiao only felt that this eldest brother was quite harsh, but when he thought that his sister had already kicked Yu Xian, he endured it.
After all, I've endured it many times.
He snorted and said, "Am I going to bluff you with such a thing?" If it weren't for the fact that I can't see Xiao Yi now, I wouldn't need to come to you to discuss. ”
Yu Xian put away his joke and asked seriously:
"Is the news confirmed? Who sent it? ”
Chen Xiao said: "It's the news of the Zhou family, they are in charge of the spirit beast department, and they found that there has been a large-scale assembly of demon beasts in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range recently, and many new varieties of demon beasts have also appeared, which are suspected to have come out of the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range."
After I received the news, I went there in person, and I noticed the aura of the three demon kings from a distance, so I didn't dare to act rashly, so I retreated first. ”
"Three Demon Kings?!"
Yu Xian repeated in surprise.
The sudden appearance of the beast tide is enough to make people disturbed, but there are three demon kings who appear, which is to force people to a dead end.
If it weren't for the presence of an ex-girlfriend on the mountain at this time, he would probably have packed his bags and run away.
The demon king is equivalent to Jindan Zhenren, and there are three at a time, he has a small foundation, and he is great to be able to block one by relying on the big array to protect the city.
Two more will have to wait for death.
The third-order great array is certainly powerful, but it also depends on the strength of the main formation.
"Why is there such a change?"
Regarding the beast tide in Shangyang City, Yu Xian had deliberately studied it.
Generally, it will appear once in thirty to fifty years, and the scale is very large, but the demon beast group is mainly concentrated in the first order, and the second-order demon beasts are already considered to be the leader.
The third-order demon king will appear one most of the time, and occasionally two will be seen.
And when the two demon kings appeared, it was the time of the calamity of the Shangyang City Immortal Cultivation Realm.
At that time, only Shangyang City could be used as a fortress to protect the last pure land, and monks and mortals in other places could only hide in various corners like ground rats.
This kind of day will last until the arrival of reinforcements from the upper sect, about three to five years.
But even if the three demon kings go through the history of Shangyang City since its establishment, it has never happened.
"This ......" Chen Xiao hesitated and said, "I probably know what's going on." ”
He suddenly remembered Danyang Zhenren's parting reminder to his sister.
'Zhang Yan, a true disciple of the Xuanyang Sect, was in a bad mood, and not long ago he went to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range and killed the two demon kings, which is very likely to cause the next round of beast tide in advance, so be careful. ’
It's just that he acted as a wooden man at the time, and his left ear went in and out of his right ear, and the beast tide didn't come for a long time, so he didn't take it seriously.
Just now he was reminded by Yu Xian, and he had an impression.
"Okay, sure enough, it was the boy who brought the devil, no, to the demon beast!"
Yu Xian glared angrily at his former uncle.
He's only been on his birthday for a few days, and he hasn't made enough money yet.
Chen Xiao snorted coldly: "This matter also has something to do with you." ”
Yu Xian was stunned: "Me? Uncle, don't spew blood! I haven't even been to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, how can I provoke so many demon beasts? ”
Chen Xiao sneered again and again: "If it weren't for my sister's insistence on coming to you, then the true lineage of the Xuanyang Sect wouldn't have followed you with a dead face;
If the true transmission of the Xuanyang Sect didn't follow, he wouldn't have eaten deflated at Xiao Yi's;
If he didn't eat deflated, he wouldn't go to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains to find demon beasts to vent;
If he hadn't killed those demon kings, he wouldn't have angered the demon kings in the depths of the mountain range, and there would be no beast tide today!
You still say it's not you! ”
"I haven't talked about the point for a long time, so what's going on with the true inheritance of Xuanyang Sect?"
How could Yu Xian be wronged, he slapped the table, and his momentum did not make people at all, but he bullied the honest uncle and did not dare to fight back.
"Chen Xiao, I really want to call you uncle, you actually went behind my back and secretly asked your sister to find another man.
Chen Xiao, I misread you.
Originally, I thought you were a man with a lot of promises, but now it seems that you are also a villain with a fly behind his back.
No wonder your sister is so happy with me, she has already found a good person, right? ”
Regarding the reputation of his sister-in-law, Chen Xiao's face immediately panicked, and he quickly explained:
"No, it's not, don't get me wrong."
A smile appeared on his face, and he quickly went through the matter from beginning to end.
"This is how it ......"
After Yu Xian listened, only four big words came to his mind - red face and trouble!
A small butterfly flapping its wings ten years ago caused a huge storm ten years later.
A true legend of Jin Dan who couldn't be in love, because he was unhappy, he went to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains to slaughter a few demon kings to scatter his heart, and then patted his ass and left.
As a result, now the revenge of the people is coming, and the culprits are not, but they who are unaware of it have endured all this.
Now it seems that it is indeed right that he and Chen Yi are temporarily separated.
His strength simply does not allow for such a high-end game.
After all, Chen Yi couldn't be by his side all the time, and if he wasn't careful, he wouldn't know that he was killed by a killer who came out of nowhere.
But now that things have happened, it's useless to complain, he can only face it calmly and seek the best way for him.
As the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.
The beast tide is a disaster and an opportunity for everyone.
After the last beast tide, although several foundation building monks died in the city, Zhao Laozu was also seriously injured because of this, and his mentality was unbalanced afterwards, so he lost everything.
But the number of foundation-building monks who rose after the beast tide actually exceeded the number of dead foundation-building monks several times.
For example, Zhao Jia, the foundation building monk of the Zhao family who is now stationed in the clan land, including Yulan, was able to break through the foundation building, and it was also thanks to the aftermath of that beast tide.
Without the dedication of those demon beasts, how can there be enough Zhuji Dan output.
It is precisely because of this that the foundation building monks of Shangyang City can be killed by Chen Xiao and him in turn.
Most of these killed Tsukiji are newly rising Tsukiki families.
Once they ascended to the sky, their mentality was not corrected, and they would boldly rebel against the majesty of Jindan Zhenren.
On the contrary, like the immortal cultivators who have inherited for a long time, they all put their attitudes right for the first time, and clearly supported them at the feet of real people, taking the opportunity to vigorously develop a wave.
And......
A red flying sword in Yu Xian's dantian was constantly swimming in the liquid mana like a blood diamond, and at this moment, it seemed to be sensing each other with its master, emitting a bloodthirsty light.
His Blood Transformation Demon Skill has never stopped practicing.
This is his current major practice.
The flesh and blood essence of the demon beast is also a great supplement for his magic skills.
Even if he didn't want his mana to be contaminated with qi and blood impurities, the blood puppets under his command didn't care about that.
If he can take advantage of this beast tide to promote Jiang Laozu and Zhao Laozu to third-order puppets, then he will have one more hole card in his hand.
Also, he could use thousands of flesh and blood to refine a demonic magic weapon, the Blood Demon Sword, and use it just after he broke through the Golden Pill.
At last......
The cultivation of a top-grade golden pill supernatural power in the Blood Transformation Demon Skill also requires a flesh and blood array as a sacrifice.
He is not like Chen Yi, there is a wealthy sect behind him, and he has already prepared the resources needed for the cultivation of Jindan Divine Power while breaking through the Jindan realm.
According to the original situation, he could only break through the Jindan realm first.
Then it took decades or hundreds of years to collect various resources for cultivating the Golden Pill Divine Power, and finally barely cultivated a Golden Pill Divine Power that was not good or bad.
In fact, this is also the normal cultivation procedure of most Jindan monks.
But if this beast tide is operated properly, not only is it not a bad thing, but it can help his cultivation and strength to improve greatly.
Moment.
Yu Xian's mind was full of thoughts, and he had a plan.
But on the surface, he was worried:
"The trouble caused by the true disciples of the Xuanyang Sect has to be held responsible. But now, even if we want to take responsibility, I'm afraid we can't afford it.
Uncle, it's not that I look down on you and me, just with the strength of the two of us, can a few demon kings fight? ”
After all, Chen Xiao is only a second-order body cultivator, and if he can have a third-order combat power, he can rely on the Dao Soldier Formation on his body, which is enough to deal with ordinary Jin Dan.
But expecting him to be a soldier king and ten is pure wishful thinking.
Chen Xiao smiled bitterly: "Isn't this here to discuss with you, aren't you quite accomplished in the formation, and you can even spy on the Dao patterns on my body."
I want you to preside over the city protection array, plus my assistance from the side, to see if you can stop the three demon kings. ”
Yu Xian knocked on the side and said, "That, what about Xiao Yi?" ”
Chen Xiao should have said: "If I can see Xiao Yi now, why do I still want you to come." For her, the three-headed demon king is nothing. ”
"So as long as we hold on long enough, when Xiao Yi is out of the customs, the crisis will be lifted."
Yu Xian: "......"
"It's just a two-step walk up the mountain, you are her brother, even if you make her unhappy, you can still kill you."
Chen Xiao was very stubborn at this time, shook his head and said:
"In short, I just can't disturb Xiao Yi's cultivation."
Yu Xian was silent for a while, and said: "You have the final say, anyway, the city is broken, I will definitely be the first to run." ”
He did not shy away from his decision to flee without a fight.
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not really stupid, if I can't beat me when the time comes, I will run to the Xiaoyi Cultivation Palace, and any demon king will have to die."
I'm her brother, even if I really disturb her cultivation, I can't kill me. ”
Yu Xian: "......"
Good guy, I actually let my uncle pretend to be up.
That was supposed to be his idea.
It's just that he probably subconsciously didn't want to see his ex-girlfriend so soon before he got the strength equal to Chen Yi.
Yu Xian asked suddenly: "But have you thought about it, if you can wake up Xiao Yi earlier, maybe there will be fewer deaths in the city." ”
Hearing this, Chen Xiao was silent for a while, and laughed coldly, with an extremely unfamiliar indifference and sadness in his voice.
He stared at Yu Xian and said word by word:
"Yu Xian, do you know, in the real immortal cultivation world, the lives of ordinary people are worthless.
The more we value the lives of ordinary people, the faster they will die.
Because in the hearts of some people, if we value these people, then these people are going to be our handles, and they are traps for us.
In the end, because of excessive mercy, everyone will die. ”
Chen Xiao had a bit of the temperament of a great sage on his face.
"So let them live like weeds, and with a little rain and sunshine, they can thrive and then spread all over the wilderness."
"Therefore, we don't have to deliberately protect them, if they really can't wait for Xiao Yi's awakening to be devoured by demon beasts, then it is also their fate."
Yu Xian was stunned for a moment and asked:
"This is your perception in the Xuanyin Sect, heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs?"
Chen Xiao's momentum plummeted, and he was a little embarrassed to say:
"Uh...... I learned this from someone else, and I think she makes a point. ”
"I remember that once Xiao Yi received a training mission from the division, which was to deal with a disaster-causing catastrophe, and I followed Xiao Yi as an entourage.
He was quickly defeated by Xiao Yi, but his escape level was quite high, and after escaping from Xiao Yi's hands, he arrived in a small town.
He laid out the means in advance, using the whole town as a threat to let Xiao Yi let him go.
At that time, Xiao Yi was still very simple, and let him go as promised for the lives of the whole town.
Later, they met again.
is still the same method, this time the robbery made Xiao Yi only choose to save half of the people.
Just when Xiao Yi hesitated, the catastrophe Xiu killed the whole town and walked away, saying that he wanted Xiao Yi to remember him for the rest of his life.
Later, they met again.
At the cost of a small city's life, I almost couldn't resist blowing the bastard's head off.
This time......"
Chen Xiao paused for a moment and sighed:
"Xiao Yi killed everyone, including the cultivator.
Then Xiao Yi was depressed for a while, and met an old woman who was sweeping the floor in the sect and said this to Xiao Yi. ”
Yu Xian: "......"
Nima, he doesn't believe it if it's not a script.
In order to cultivate Chen Yi's Dao heart, he actually used the lives of people in a city as a prop.
can only be said to be worthy of being born in the Demon Gate, even if they change their appearance, they can't change the essence of their contempt for living beings.
His little bit of caution is no different from Xiao Pure compared to them.
Chen Xiao thought that Yu Xian was frightened, so he stepped forward like a big brother, patted Yu Xian's shoulder and said:
"You won't be frightened by this little thing, I heard that those Demon Dao Sects, a small blood sacrifice requires the lives of millions of people.
In their eyes, there is no difference between ordinary people and livestock.
It's enough that we can go with the flow and protect some people. ”
Yu Xian exhaled and smiled.
"The survival of the fittest, I know."
……
It's night.
The entire Shangyang City, the inner city and the outer city suddenly declared a curfew.
The whole city fell into silence for a long time, and I don't know which big man was in the thunderous rage.
A group of tax monks in black uniforms left the city overnight.
Zhang San is an old man in the tax department, who has been a temporary worker for eight years, but has not yet succeeded in becoming a regular worker, and can be regarded as a small legend in the tax department.
Because the same group of colleagues who entered the tax department as him either succeeded in making a breakthrough and became a foundation building monk, or they failed to make a breakthrough and left the tax department in disgrace, or they didn't even survive five years of temporary work.
After all, the job of the tax department is really offensive, even if there is a big person like the chief manager as a background, it is also a high-risk profession.
Fortunately, the regular workers are the face of the tax department, and most of them are from families with deep backgrounds, and if one dies, they will face a big search in the city.
In the end, there will always be a monk who builds the foundation to pay for his life.
After the death of several foundation building monks, the safety of the regular workers was basically guaranteed.
However, the temporary workers are miserable.
All anger can only be directed at temporary workers, so the casualty rate of casual workers is extremely high.
And as long as the person who made the shot did not leave a trace, it was generally gone.
After all, there are a lot of people who are waiting to be admitted to the tax department as temporary workers, even those clansmen and monks of the immortal cultivation family are also rushing to be temporary workers.
It's really Tsukidan who is too tempting.
Although there is only one regular quota a year, there are also meritorious regulars who have made great contributions, and do not occupy the official quota.
In just a few years, the Department of Taxation has issued ten Zhuji Dan, two of which are the merit exchange of regular workers, and eight are the benefits of temporary workers.
A total of three foundation building monks were created, and all of them were casual cultivators who turned into regular workers.
This miracle gives great hope to many loose cultivators.
The tax department is really giving cakes.
And Zhang Sanjin has been in the industry for eight years, and his application for regularization has been rejected again and again.
After all, looking at those who have been turned into regulars, they are all characters who have made meritorious contributions.
Although he worked hard, he was extremely unlucky.
He didn't have his turn to handle several major tax cases, and now he can be a team leader, all supported by his working years.
"Head, what did our tax department do secretly?"
The team members on the side looked at the dark night, and it seemed that there was still a tendency to rain, and said with an unhappy face.
"Shut up!"
Zhang San still had the promise given to him by Deputy Director Zhao in his mind.
After this task is completed, he will be regularized.
Turn positive!
He has always been a good man, and his mind is full of these two words.
"This mission is to do everything as instructed, whoever dares to make a mistake is to go against Lao Tzu and obstruct the way!"
He looked at each member of his men with red eyes and said:
"Success, not failure!"
"Head, head, what are we going to do now?"
The first time a team member saw Zhang San so serious and fierce, his voice was a little trembling.
Zhang San glanced around, saw that the position was almost there, turned over his hand and found a stack of array plates and array flags, and threw them to his subordinates.
"Array!"
PS: Happy 520 single dogs. As for those who are not single dogs, you are already happy enough, so I will not bless you (from the resentment of this single dog).
