Chapter 25: Identity (5)

It had been nearly a hundred years since the Chinese court lost control of northern Middle-earth. Every ten years, northern Middle-earth is swept by demon tides, and it is sacked by the Rakshasa barbarians who follow it. The northern dock forts are lined with robbers. Demons are everywhere, and the people are unbearable.

More than 30 years ago, a fort man named Shunshui Fort in the north obtained a chart similar to my father's, which was an antiquity left by the first batch of seafarers who left the Central Plains. The patriarch in the fort resolutely led more than 10,000 families to leave their homeland and cross the sea to find Baiyun Township where they could live in peace. By the time they crossed the Storm Ring and arrived at Baiyun Township, there were only 3,000 families left in the withered fleet.

It is said that their patriarch Wang Xiangfu was a long-established Confucian in the north, and he was already over 80 years old when he led the fleet to Baiyun Township. When he was young, he once organized a rebel army in the north to fight against the vassal states of the Rakshasa barbarians, and after middle age, he stopped practicing martial arts and began to study various craftsmen and farming, because he felt that inventing machinery and growing food would allow more people to survive in troubled times.

I calculated that this old man is now one hundred and ten years old, and he has left his martial arts for many years, so he should only be offered as a spiritual leader. "Before Jindan, life is only two Jiazi", no matter how good he is at health, Wang Xiangfu will not have ten years to live.

Wang Qinian and Wang Qitai are the rising stars of their clan. said that they are rising stars, and the two should be fifty or sixty years old now.

The origin of the name of Wang Qi's rising star is the one-on-one fight between him and Aung San Suhui, the first warrior of Baiyun, thirty years ago, when Wang Qinian was only twenty-seven years old and had already reached the realm of a martial artist at the lower level of Jindan.

Neidan martial arts originated from Xiuzhen, and it is also a method to Jindan. I heard my father say it, but people in the secular world saw the use of Neidan martial arts to kill people and fight (of course, the big leader of Nangong passed on my father's Neidan martial arts, and he also wanted my father to kill). As a sect of secular learning, Confucianism blended the principles of the Book of Changes into the Inner Dan Martial Arts, and created its own school of Yi Dao martial arts, and Confucians can also practice this Yi Dao martial arts to improve to the Jindan realm (whether this Confucian martial arts can be practiced to the Yuan Ying or above, the father is unknown). Wang Qinian should be an accomplished person who cultivates Confucianism and Yidao martial arts.

Wang Qitai later developed farms and pastures, planted cereals and herbs, established settlements, and educated the Chinese people, and did not think about being the second person in Shunshui Town.

Therefore, the two of them were elected by the whole clan as the two elders of civil and military affairs to jointly manage Shunshui Town.

Thirty years ago, the people of Shunshuibao initially thought that Baiyun Township was a terra nullius (my father also thought so), and after coming into contact with the unexpected natives, there was a conflict. Aboriginal legend holds that the land was given to them by the gods, who were the guardians of the sacred mountain, and strongly disagreed with the Chinese settling in the fertile North Island.

When Wang Qinian was in the Central Plains, he was a hawk who specialized in killing barbarians, and he tried to use the metal weapons of the Huaxia people, the firecrackers, and his own powerful force to exterminate the three Baiyun tribes in one fell swoopβ€”the Baiyun natives only had the equipment of rattan oracle bone spears, and they could not see any clever martial arts inheritance.

It is expected that the warriors of the Baiyun natives are well-trained, ready for work, and make good use of the terrain, and their number is also 100 times that of the Chinese, which offsets all the advantages of the newcomers and the Chinese who are not accustomed to the water and soil. Wang Qinian originally planned to use his Jindan force to break down Baiyun's army, but he ran into Aung San Suhui's hard idea of force similar to him, and lost the possibility of using personal force to win back the situation.

The people of Shunshui Fort called this battle the First White Cloud War. On behalf of the whole clan, the dove Wang Qitai signed a ten-year armistice agreement with the Baiyun chieftains, obtained a ten-year lease in the desolate South Island, and transferred to the South Island.

-- This is really the truth about the first contact between China and the indigenous people that I have told me about superficially.

Half of the South Island is rocky and unplanted, and the other half is primeval forests infested with wingless birds and five-step killer snakes. Moreover, the Chinese people discovered a tragic fact: Baiyun Township actually did not produce metal mines! Only then did they understand the reason why the natives only wore rattan armor and used bone spears. In the foreseeable future, their equipment will degenerate to the same level as the Baiyun natives.

The Wang brothers, who were oppressed by the harsh reality, accelerated the pace of reorganizing the army and fighting the military. They forcibly popularized Confucian education, martial arts education, and craftsman education free of charge throughout the clan. Both men and women must learn Confucian classics, Yi Dao martial arts, and craftsman knowledge from an early age. In addition, we encourage glorious mothers to give birth to special children, eugenics, and strive to double the population in ten years, and try to catch up with the number gap with the Baiyun natives.

They melted half of the metal of their weapons and ships to make the movements of the mechanical tools called "wooden oxen and horses", so that the tools of production could also supplement manpower, and they did their best to open up farmland that could support at least 100,000 people.

During the first decade, they also discovered that rats brought from ships began to multiply rapidly on the island, squeezing out a large number of indigenous creatures. At the same time, the number of five-step killer snakes and wingless birds is also increasing.

Wang Qitai found that the rat was eaten by the five-step killer snake, the wingless bird ate the five-step killer snake, and the Chinese people could feed on the wingless bird. If rats are used well, the number of wingless birds can increase. By feeding on rats, we can develop the grazing industry of wingless birds and completely solve the food problem. In addition, the spine of the wingless bird can be used as a bone spear, and the gall of the five-step killer snake can be used as wound medicine, which can be used well.

In this way, at the beginning of the second decade, the population of the Chinese increased to 100,000, and they had the strength to counterattack the Baiyun natives.

At the end of the ten-year lease, Shunshui Town took the lead.

The Second White Cloud War broke out.

Under the leadership of Wang Qinian, the combat strength accumulated by the Chinese people for ten years went all the way to the north, attacking without stopping, expelling all the natives who settled in the South Island, and overwhelmingly crossing the southern slope of the Baiyun Holy Mountain and the Falling Star Mountain, and opening up the mountain pass of the North Island. Wang Qinian also narrowly killed Aung San Suhui, the first warrior of Baiyun, in the battle, and the indigenous people no longer had a warrior who could compete with the Chinese.

Ten years later, the Chinese people were familiar with geography, had a good art of war to organize their armies, and the average combat power of 10,000 elite soldiers had reached the middle level of external skills, as well as sophisticated weapons (there was no saltpeter on the island, and all the fire guns were melted into metal cold weapons, and they were also familiar with the use of bone spears and rattan armor) - more importantly, compared with the three tribes of Baiyun, the Chinese people had the cohesion of brotherhood and unity.

They could have swept Baiyun Township this time and become the true masters of the island.

It's a pity that they ran into the mountain god of Falling Star Mountain.

Wang Qinian was seriously injured and fled, and half of the 10,000 elite soldiers were broken.

The Chinese finally stopped at the southern slope of Falling Star Mountain.

Since then, there has been no decisive battle between the two sides.

It is worthy of the results of 30 years of Confucianism popularization education, Wang Jing and Wang Mang, two Jianding who are less than 30 years old, can actually talk about the major events of these many years (some of which they have not even experienced). After a little combing, I can understand the development of Baiyun Township over the years.

I can't help but be impressed by Wang Qitai's organizational ability and construction level of Confucianism.

He may not have the force, but his brain is absolutely good, and it is very powerful to be able to feed so many people in the half-barren and half-beastly South Island, so that everyone has cultural knowledge, and he can also make an army that can be seen.

Unless Murong Ziling is reincarnated, my father's gang does not have such a figure, and my mother, a part-time second leader, can't do it.

The five hundred pirates under our command are all elite in a hundred battles, and the average level is all the lower echelons of internal strength, and the combat power can also be the vanguard army of any of the great separatist forces of the day, which is much higher than the military strength of the mountain patrol team of Shunshui Town, but the comprehensive quality of the pirates in other aspects is far inferior to that of Shunshui Town. Assuming that my father and their town started a war, we might win the first battle (my father's Jindan upper force could suppress Wang Qinian), but the strength was not good.

Maybe Murong Zhi can surpass Murong Ziling in the future, and I can surpass my father.

But it's better not to fight at the moment.

Even if we still have power, we will inevitably fall behind in the foreseeable twenty years.

What's more, it's just me and Murong Zhi now.

The idea of temporarily clinging to Shunshui Town prevailed in my heart.

"What kind of thing is the mountain god you are talking about? Is it more powerful than Wang Qinian, the lower level of the Jindan?"

"Actually, we also heard from the old people in the town who participated in the Second White Cloud War about the mountain god. It is all said that a demonic wind blew in the valley of the Falling Star Mountain, and a large number of soldiers were covered in the wind; after the wind receded, it rained down like blood and rained the blood of thousands of dead soldiers, all of which looked like monsters chewing and eating. ”

Both of them had heavy and resentful expressions.

I thought of the dragon that slaughtered our ship, a monster that only cultivators could fight.

But the monster of Falling Star Mountain is inferior to the dragon: the dragon disdains to eat people, and it was only aimed at my father - if I hadn't offended the dragon's scales, what would not have happened like that.

This monster not only kills indiscriminately, but also eats people to fill its stomach.

Elder Wang Qinian later reported the battle situation to the townspeople at the town meeting: he rushed into the demon wind to save people, and he didn't see the appearance of the monster clearly, but he saw the strange eyes in the demon wind, which made him almost lose his mind. He didn't know the details, so he didn't dare to venture in. was so guarded, and he was bitten hard by the monster, and the flesh of one shoulder was torn off. had to gather the remnants of the army and retreat. ”

――The palatal power that can bite off the flesh of the shoulder of the Jindan warrior!

That's the body of a warrior who can withstand the pressure of sound speed, stronger than gold and iron.

My hands trembled.

I felt Wang Jing's strange gaze

"This kind of monster kills living beings, and the immortal chief is so angry that he can't look at it! ”

I roared angrily, covering up my gaffe.

"It's not that I said that the little immortal chief, there are also many cultivators on our island who flew to the depths of the Falling Star Mountain to explore treasures. Alas, all of them have come and gone. Although the little immortal has been practicing for three hundred years, I think it is better to be cautious. ”

Wang Mang, a fool, is obedient and rounds the field for me at the right time.

"There's some truth to what you're saying. When I return to the cave in the coming day, I will take a demon sword, prepare properly, and capture the demon alive in a battle, and avenge the death of your clansmen. ”

-- I'll give them an empty silver ticket to comfort and comfort the hearts of the people of Shunshui Town.

"Cheng Xian is in love. The villain must have conveyed the Immortal Chief's thoughts to Elder Wang Qinian. Wang Mang was overjoyed.

I choked

- Uncle!

I hurriedly changed the subject,

"Wang Jing, you can briefly talk about it in the next twenty years. ”

"After the Second Baiyun War, we actually controlled the southern slope, but we were unable to attack the Baiyun natives again. On the one hand, nearly half of the elite soldiers were lost, and on the other hand, they were afraid that the mountain god would reappear. Since then, Elder Wang Qinian has stationed troops on the southern slope for a long time, established pass fortresses, constantly repelled the indigenous riots, and defended the fruits of our victory, which has never been a major matter. It's just that in recent years, the indigenous people have produced another Jindan warrior, who is the son of Aung San Suhui, called Aung San Baoyan, who is very healthy and often comes to our southern slope to provoke. ”

"The Baiyun Native doesn't have a high-level inheritance, can he still produce a Jindan martial artist?"

-- This is not common sense. Occasionally, a Jindan warrior can be said to be talented and have adventures. Without a smart inheritance, it would be very strange that there would be Jindan for two generations in a row.

"This is the matter of your cultivators, how can the villains know! But Elder Wang Qinian is very worried about this matter, he is afraid that after a hundred years, no one in our town will be able to stop this kid. ”

"Hehe, how can that be! We are outstanding Chinese people, and we have the Confucian Yidao martial arts inheritance, so naturally there will be Jindan martial artists at the right time. What's more, Elder Wang Qinian is only fifty-seven years old, wouldn't the Jindan Martial Artist live for two or three hundred years!"

Wang Mang blushed and went to argue with Wang Jing.

I think Wang Qinian's worries have his reasons, and Wang Jing is right.

At the age of twenty, he will not become a national player, and he will be hopeless for life.

Neidan martial arts is a narrow and special method of cultivating the truth. Before the foundation was built, its threshold was very low, but after the foundation was built, its qualification requirements for cultivators were actually much stricter than those of ordinary immortal paths.

If you practice martial arts at the age of thirty and have not yet become a golden pill, it means that your martial arts talent is limited. In the future, people's qi and blood will fail, and they will only regress, and they will not progress.

Therefore, after the formal disciples of the Xiuzhen sect have achieved qi induction into the body after building the foundation, they rarely regard martial arts as their fundamental method, but instead switch to other methods that are more secure, broader, and more promising for progress (this is also one of the reasons why the 500-year-old martial arts era finally became the Xiuzhen era).

It has been thirty years since the Chinese people came to Baiyun Township, and the popularization of martial arts education has not yet produced a new Jindan warrior.

I'm afraid it's really their generation that has a problem with their qualifications. In case Wang Qinian has any accidents, there will be terrifying consequences.

The reason why the armies of the two sides fought in the first two Baiyun Wars was because each had a balance of Jindan warriors.

If Wang Qinian had an accident, the indigenous army led by Aung San Baoyan would be able to unilaterally slaughter the Chinese army without Jindan warriors.

Moreover, even if there is no accident, it is doubtful whether Wang Qinian can live for two or three hundred years:

Jindan warriors have no pressure on subsonic, and they can indeed withstand the speed of sound or even several times the speed of sound. However, the strength of the speed of sound can also damage their lifespan. Wang Qinian has been fighting bloodily for decades, is his body really intact?

I think when he started worrying about Aung San Bao Yan, he foresaw that the rest of his life was predictable.

This may be a good opportunity for me and Murong Zhi

――If we reveal to Wang Qinian the qualifications to become a Jindan warrior within ten years, and have the ability to fill the vacancy of the new generation in Shunshui Castle, then we will be able to gain a foothold!

"This Immortal Elder is different from other cultivators who are flying around. They don't care about the world, and I went out of the island to experience the world. Wang Jing, Wang Mang, I just wanted to say hello to your elders when I crossed the border. For the sake of your concern for the clansmen, I will teach a few disciples who can reach Jindan for the future of your town. ”

This time, even Wang Jing, who has always been wary of me, was overjoyed.

We talked and laughed all the way.

Seven days later, I arrived at Wang Qinian's Dazhai on the southern slope of Falling Star Mountain.
