Time runs, months pass, and the year closes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis year's winter is even more severe than usual, even the land south of the Yangtze River is full of frost and snow, the Chu army's offensive has been greatly slowed down in late autumn, and the people in the south of the Huhai River can finally spend a slightly more stable New Year.

It took nearly half a year, and Qi Dezhong's injuries had healed, but his cultivation had not entered the realm, and even his mana was far from being restored to before the injury.

Qi Dezhong participated in the cultivation of Xuangong as usual on weekdays, and he could feel that there was no hindrance to the growth of mana, and the medicinal power of Huayang Pill was still working. But the increased mana always seemed to be blocked by an invisible obstacle, leaving only a small opening, like a dam blocking the river, so that Qi Dezhong could not fully use it.

However, Qi Dezhong doesn't care, the level of cultivation is not directly related to whether the mana is strong or not, in terms of cultivating metaphysics, as long as the mana is strong enough, those who have an external sense of cultivation can move mountains and seas, and many of the great mana and great supernatural powers are based on the foundation, and they can already get a glimpse of one or two in the external sense of cultivation.

Taking advantage of the fact that the snow had decreased slightly, Qi Dezhong and his eldest disciple Yunxiao went down the mountain together to enjoy and travel to various scenery. Although he used his example as bait, Qi Dezhong didn't know what the plans of the Huhai cultivators were, and the days of recuperating from his injuries were also very dull, and there were no unknown characters to spy on Yuhuang Mountain.

Some time ago, I heard that the national teacher Feng Huazhen sent his disciple Sui Hansong and the worship institute to move collectively, and the strong reinforcement of Huhai Jiangnan was added, and after two years of operation and building, Jiangnan military defense has gradually been completed.

According to the travels of Qi Dezhong's master and apprentice in the mountains, the refugees who had gone to the south of the Yangtze River in recent years were also properly resettled--of course, not in the ordinary charity of charity, but in the large and small factories and mining areas where they were concentrated.

Don't work hard, this is the common sense of the world. The best way to dispose of the refugees in Jiangnan is to become laborers in factories and mines in various places in exchange for the opportunity to survive, otherwise they will not be able to support the lazy people even if they are rich in Jiangnan.

Even Qi Dezhong's mana has been weak in the past few months, and the work of refining the chest armor has been completed by Yunxiao instead of himself.

Qi Dezhong took Yunxiao to Yuewang Township, the original dispute between the soldiers and the people has long been gone, there is a platform for loading and unloading goods next to the railway that has been built, and the Liang family house in the original township is now standing a textile factory, many female workers are working.

"Although Jiangnan is still nominally a territory of the Qian, military and political affairs have been carried out independently. Qi Dezhong looked at the people from afar: "As a teacher, I heard that Chudi is greatly prosperous in industry and commerce, and all adult men and women have to participate in labor for more than four hours every day, and they are also following the example of Jiangnan to build a railway, it seems that no matter who dominates Kyushu in this war, there will be great innovation and changes in the world." ”

Yunxiao said: "The disciple heard that the current Emperor Chu is an unborn person, no one knows his true origin, some say that he is the descendant of the hidden immortal sect, some say that he is the immortal god Zhenfan, and some people say that he is a visitor from outside the world, and there are all kinds of different sayings...... Could it be that Master, are you also optimistic about the current Emperor Chu?"

"I have never met Emperor Chu, and the situation of Chu has only been heard, not really understood. Qi Dezhong explained: "But in today's chaos in Kyushu, the earliest one to rise is Emperor Chu, this person claims that the 800 strong soldiers under his command can conquer the city, and the rumors in the world are untrue, I guess that the 800 strong soldiers should be cultivators, which is also the foundation of the Chu Emperor's uprising, and now of course it is far more than that." ”

"Eight hundred cultivators, so many?" Yunxiao said in surprise.

It is not easy to get started with Taoist practice, some people have excellent talents, but they are trapped in the heart and it is difficult to make progress, and some are dull in understanding, and the teacher has no solution, in short, the practitioners of Middle Earth and Kyushu are a minority after all.

For example, among the twelve sects in Kyushu, the total number of disciples who have been ordained to teach the Dharma is probably only two or three thousand, and this also includes many people who have failed to practice like Fushengzi.

The cultivation of the sect is to teach the Fa rather than to preach, and it takes a lot of effort to teach and teach the teacher, and the Dharma itself is also practice, which Qi Dezhong himself deeply understands. The fact that his five disciples were able to train them to become talented was enough for him to worry about, and in the foreseeable future, Qi Dezhong did not plan to accept any more disciples.

Even if it is like Taihua Gate, as far as Qi Dezhong saw in the Health Valley at the beginning, there are probably less than two hundred people, plus walking and traveling outside, retreating and practicing in the Taihua Cave Heaven, it is already too much to say that there can be three or four hundred people in Taihua Gate, and this is already a very remarkable inheritance in the twelve sects of Kyushu, how many Dharma Transmission Masters do you have to hand over so many disciples who have achieved cultivation?

"There must be a distinction between high and low among the 800 practitioners, and if it is set up for the purpose of killing and conquering, there are also side ways in the world that do not seek to maintain health and prolong life, depending on how the practitioner uses it. If you are good at scheming, these methods can often win by surprise, and I guess at the beginning of Emperor Chu's uprising, there were many such characters under his command. Qi Dezhong said with a smile: "When the teacher was outside Jinyang City, he met a cultivator soldier of the Qian Dynasty, and the situation was quite dangerous at that time, if there were three or five hundred such cultivators under his command, the situation on the battlefield would be quite able to turn the tide." ”

Yunxiao nodded and said: "Since ancient dynasties, the emperor's family has recruited cultivators, and there are not a few foreign arts, it just depends on how to use it. It's just that like today, it is rare for many cultivators who have been taught the correct preaching method to go to the battlefield in person. ”

Qi Dezhong frowned slightly and said: "As a teacher, I am also a little puzzled, such as Tiancheng Suo and Huzhou Ke, they are all masters of cultivation in the world, and the alternation of society and mountains is really common in the world, and the cultivators are seeking to soar and transcend, why should they enter this situation again? Isn't it self-destructive cultivation? And the actual situation is exactly like this, those who want to win must have the disaster of defeat, and only those who do not fight will always exist." ”

Yunxiao scratched his head and asked curiously, "Master, aren't we in the middle of the game now?"

Qi Dezhong was forced to be stunned for a moment by Yunxiao, and then sneered: "Yes, yes, yes! Those who want to be detached are all people who are already in the game, otherwise how can they say that they are detached? Those who do not enter the game naturally have no such troubles." ”

"Then Master, what are your plans?"

Qi Dezhong turned around and looked north, which was the direction of the imperial capital Yujing City, and said slowly: "The teacher and the national teacher Feng Hua have other grievances, no matter what, I want to question him, and when this matter is over, maybe I can purify my cultivation." ”

Yunxiao looked to the other place, "Maybe Master wants to be pure but can't......"

While the master and apprentice were talking, a person came from afar, it was Wang Qinian, the deacon of Huhai, who saw Qi Dezhong and hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Qi Daoyou, I finally found you! Now there is major news, the Youyan defense line has been broken, the imperial capital is in danger, and the national teacher needs Huhai cultivators to go to support!"
