Dafeng Night Watchman

Chapter 640 - 640 Li Lingsu's Shura Field (I)

Bai Ji curled up on the rock, pretending to be asleep. After a few seconds, a terrible and tyrannical will awakened from her body.

At this moment, the beasts and birds in the forest were silent at the same time, some crawling on the ground, and some spreading their wings to cover their heads.

The pressure of the higher creatures made the nearby creatures tremble, as if facing doomsday.

On the half-collapsed main peak of Quanrong Mountain, the old man Kou Yangzhou felt something and frowned and looked into the distance.

Such a strong demonic aura, the white fox beside Xu Ningyan... He looked at it carefully for a while, slowly retracted his gaze, and ignored it.

On the other side, after the tyrannical will came, Bai Ji opened her eyes, one of her eyes overflowed with clear light, and the other eye was black and clear and pure.

"Empress!"

Bai Ji called out in a delicate voice.

Then, it spoke again, and the voice became the unique magnetic voice of a mature woman:

"Xu is not here, little female, what do you have to report?"

Bai Ji's voice seamlessly switched back to the tender voice of a girl:

"My queen, I am in the Jianzhou Wulin League right now. There has just been a battle for dragon energy here, involving the Buddhist sect, the Wushenjiao rain master, and the Yunzhou sorcerer."

The mature and magnetic female voice was silent for a moment, and then smiled:

"It seems that this fight was very fierce, otherwise you wouldn't take the initiative to find me..."

Bai Ji nodded vigorously, delicately The Nine-tailed Fox said, "Xu Yinluo won, and the Buddhist sect suffered heavy losses this time."

The Nine-tailed Fox smiled and said, "How did it end?"

Bai Ji said, "All the King Kongs died."

After that, the Nine-tailed Fox fell silent, and did not speak for a long time. Bai Ji could not help but speak:

"My Queen?"

The Nine-tailed Fox spoke, "Tell me the details of what happened."

Bai Ji relayed the information she heard from Xu Qi'an to the Queen in detail. She was relatively brief because Xu Qi'an was very brief, just telling her the general process of the battle.

"I can imagine how thrilling it was. With the death of Du Wanfan, the Buddhist sect now only has three Bodhisattvas, Jia Luoshu, Guangxian and Liuli, and Du'e Arhat, who are high-quality fighters.

"In just over a month, the Buddhist sect has lost more extraordinary masters than in the past five hundred years. It is worthy of being a person who carries the fate of the country for half a year. "

Bai Ji heard the joy in the Queen's voice, raised her paw and patted the stone, and said in a tender voice:

"It's time to counterattack the Shiwan Mountains and take back the territory of our Wan Yao Kingdom."

The Nine-tailed Sky Fox sneered:

"It's not even the estrus period, and you're so arrogant. Newborn fox cubs are not afraid of Buddha.

"But you're right. The opportunity to take back the Shiwan Mountains is not far away."

After a pause, she did not continue the topic and sighed:

"I didn't expect the Supervisor to be willing to bear the backlash of the Heavenly Dao for him. I'm a little suspicious of the Supervisor's purpose."

From Bai Ji's feedback, she didn't see any signs of Xu Qian'an suffering a backlash.

Bai Ji tilted her head: "Heaven's backlash?"

"The "sacrifice" magic of the Wushen Cult can summon the heroic spirits of ancestors and the heroic spirits entangled with one's own cause and effect. Generally speaking, only the heroic spirits of the same realm can be summoned. If it is higher, it must rely on external forces.

"In the battle of Wei Yuan's attack on Jingshan City, he summoned the heroic spirit of the Confucian Sage with the help of the Confucian Sage's carving knife and the sub-sage Confucian cap. He must pay a price for this.

"The price here is not only that he, as a carrier, will have his body destroyed by the power of a higher level, but also the backlash of heaven, because this practice violates the rules.

"Whether Wei Yuan successfully seals the Wushen or not, he will definitely die. "

Bai Ji suddenly realized and was shocked:

"Then Xu Yinluo..."

The nine-tailed fox laughed and said: "Emperor Gaozu is not a Confucian saint, so the backlash is not that great. As a first-grade sorcerer, he can bear it. If it is Xu Qian'an, a third-grade..."

Even if he has a strong luck and can save his life, he will pay an unbearable heavy price.

"Will the Du Nan who carries the Vajra Dharma image also be backlashed by the Heavenly Dao?" Bai Ji thought of the Du Nan Vajra who was also "cheating".

"This does not belong to the summoning of heroic spirits, and will not be backlashed by the Heavenly Dao. It's just that as a third-grade Vajra, he will pay an unimaginable price for bearing the blessing of the first-grade Dharma image. Killing a thousand enemies will only hurt himself eight hundred.

"In addition, the reason why he can bear the essence and blood of the Galashu Bodhisattva is because he is also a Vajra. If he were an Arhat, it would be impossible to materialize the Vajra Dharma image.

"Well, summon me again in the evening. I have something to tell him. "

Bai Ji nodded obediently.

After talking about business, it asked in a delicate voice: "My queen, have you found your kind overseas?"

The nine-tailed fox shook its head:

"Overseas is vast, the ocean is boundless, and it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find your kind. But I met a descendant of gods and demons, and learned an interesting thing from it."

Bai Ji asked with great interest: "Descendant of gods and demons?"

"It was the one who appeared in Baidi City in Yunzhou. He told me some secrets of the era of gods and demons, and implicitly hinted at the real reason why the descendants of gods and demons fled the Kyushu continent."

Without waiting for Bai Ji to ask, she said with a smile:

"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. Your current cultivation is not enough to pay the price of knowing the answer.

"Okay, take me to see him."

......

Wen Chengbi returned to the meeting room and pushed the door open. Cao Qingyang and others immediately stopped talking and looked at him.

"What did the ancestor say?"

Cao Qingyang paused at the deputy leader's face and smiled:

"It seems that the ancestor's reply is very much to your liking."

Fu Jingmen and others immediately curled their lips. Wen Chengbi advocated building the headquarters on the mountain. Building a city on flat land and building a headquarters in the mountain are not the same thing.

Wen Chengbi smiled:

"The ancestor said that the chaos is coming, and the headquarters must be built on the mountain to occupy the terrain."

Qiao Weng of Jianzhou Chamber of Commerce pinched his eyebrows and smiled bitterly:

"The ancestor is not in charge of the family, so he doesn't know how expensive vegetables, rice, oil and salt are. Don't expect anything, just tighten your belt and live a good life in the future."

The fourth-rank sect leaders and gang leaders were frowning.

It's not that they are unwilling to pay, but the Jianghu gangs certainly can't collect taxes like the government, they have their own businesses.

Because of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the industries run by the sects suffered a serious blow and the business was very bad, but the group of people who relied on the gangs for a living had to be supported, and in addition, they had to cooperate with the government to provide porridge for disaster relief.

The financial pressure was huge.

Now they have to bear the cost of building the headquarters, and you can imagine how difficult life will be.

At this time, the moral bottom line is too high, and it has become a burden.

If it were an ordinary Jianghu sect, who would care about the lives of ordinary people? That would be a matter for the government to worry about.

Seeing that everyone was depressed, Wen Chengbi raised his mouth:

"Don't worry, everyone. The most difficult thing about building a headquarters is manpower and money. As long as we solve these two problems, isn't that enough?"

Fu Jingmen squinted and sneered:

"But we can't solve the problem of money. Can you make it for me?"

Everyone looked at the deputy leader expressionlessly.

Wen Chengbi was not in a hurry and talked freely:

"All our gangs and factions must contribute money and food to cooperate with the government in distributing porridge and disaster relief.

"In this case, we can simply gather the victims together and let them build a headquarters for everyone, using labor in exchange for relief. This will not only solve the manpower problem, but we don't have to pay extra money for the construction.

"This is called, um, work-for-relief."

The meeting room was quiet for a while, and the gang leaders were stunned for a long time, and then the discussion started instantly.

"It seems that it can be done. In this way, there is no need to pay extra money. Anyway, the money and food for disaster relief must be paid."

"Yes, yes, there are so many victims, it's a waste not to use them. There is no need to give extra money, just keep them full."

"Work-for-relief... Is this an idea that our ancestors came up with?"

The principle is actually very simple and you can understand it at a glance.

The reason why they didn't think of it is not because they are stupid, but because their thinking is limited. In this era, if the court wants to build infrastructure, the people have the obligation to work for free.

This is called corvée service.

In other words, infrastructure construction does not require money, and it is the responsibility of the people.

Since it can be done for free, who would take the initiative to pay?

It is not that the idea of ​​work-for-relief cannot be thought of, but it is not needed at all.

As for why no one came up with a similar solution during the disaster, it was also limited by the times.

The reason is simple. The court is not a construction maniac, and it is not certain that it will repair the city walls and roads for decades.

Since it is not needed, there is no background for work-for-relief.

But at the moment, this idea perfectly solves the embarrassment faced by the Wulin League.

Suddenly, the situation turned around.

"As expected of the ancestors, they have lived long, which means they are wise and smarter than us."

"The ancestors are people who have experienced troubled times and are people of great wisdom."

Qiao Weng, Yang Cuixue and others did not hesitate to praise them, and their faces were full of joy. A headache-inducing problem was easily solved by the ancestors.

Wen Chengbi was stunned for a moment, and waved his hands repeatedly:

"This is not the idea of ​​the ancestors..."

Everyone looked at him suspiciously: "You?"

Wen Chengbi still shook his head:

"It's not me."

Xiao Yuenu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Sure enough, he heard Wen Chengbi say:

"It was Xu Yinluo who came up with the idea. He happened to be talking to the ancestors and gave me an idea.

"Tsk tsk, Xu Yinluo, who is proficient in military tactics, poetry, and has the talent to govern the country. "

Xu Yinluo......Everyone looked at each other, feeling "It turned out to be him, then I have nothing to be surprised about."

"I would have wasted my brain if I had known earlier. It would have been better to ask Xu Yinluo directly. "

Fu Jingmen slapped the table and sighed.

There is such a god, but they turned a blind eye and argued here for so long.

Yang Cuixue sighed:

"He is indeed a talent for governing the country. Xu Yinluo is Wei Yuan's disciple, and he is better than his master."

In the meeting room, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and cheerful.

......

Rongrong followed her fellow disciples in Wanhua Tower and was responsible for boiling medicine and commanding soldiers to clean up the ruins so that the military town could restore order as soon as possible.

"Master, why are you so depressed? "

Rongrong turned her head and looked at the beautiful woman who was picking herbs.

It was sad that the Wulin League suffered such a disaster, but the enemy was successfully repelled and Xu Yinluo performed brilliantly. The Wulin League members were fortunate to witness this amazing battle. Except for a few people who lost their relatives and friends, most of them were excited.

Especially the disciples of their affiliated forces, they were relatively more relaxed.

After all, the headquarters is not their own mountain gate.

But the beautiful woman has been frowning since the end of the battle, and it is obvious that she is worried.

"Master, don't talk too much here, do your work."

The beautiful woman frowned and taught.

Rongrong pouted, and while helping to pick herbs, she muttered:

"I looked around and didn't see Xu Yinluo. He may not live in this area. "

The beautiful woman frowned even more and said earnestly:

"Rongrong, don't have any fantasies. There are many girls who like Xu Yinluo, but you can't control such a man.

"If you are a slave or a concubine, are you willing?"

Speaking of this, the beautiful woman looked sad.

Seeing this, Rongrong was shocked and pale:

"Master, I am not sad, why are you sad? Could it be that you also like Xu Yinluo? He can be your son."

The beautiful woman was furious and was about to speak when she suddenly saw a sword light passing by her head, and several figures flew on swords and landed somewhere in the military town.

The beautiful woman stared at the sky with a complicated expression.

.......

A courtyard in the south of the military town.

Chu Yuanzhen, Li Miaozhen and Li Lingsu pressed down their flying swords and landed lightly in the courtyard.

In the yard, a plain-looking woman sat on a small stool, washing clothes.

She glanced at them casually, turned her head and shouted towards the house:

"Mr. Xu, your bad friends are here to see you."

How did this woman talk... Li Miaozhen was unhappy.

Princess? Chu Yuanzhen repeatedly knocked on the plain-looking woman, and was a little unsure of her identity.

He knew that the legendary Princess of Zhenbei had followed Xu Qi'an to wander around the world.

But the plain face in front of him made it difficult for him to associate her with the most beautiful woman in Dafeng.

Xu Qi'an, who was changing the sheets in the room, came out when he heard the voice, smiling as always:

"Is it done?"

His eyes paused on Dongfang Wanqing.

Li Lingsu coughed and said:

"Brother Xu, Sister Qing has no intention of being your enemy, but we each serve our own masters......"

Xu Qi'an waved his hand: "Since you helped me, I won't make things difficult for her."

Dongfang Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

His main enemies are the Buddhist sect and Xu Pingfeng. In this journey of the rivers and lakes, the Dongfang sisters are also enemies, but they don't have much intersection.

Compared with her sister Dongfang Wanrong, Dongfang Wanqing's presence is extremely low.

Xu Qi'an doesn't have much hatred for her, in fact, her level is not good enough and she is not worthy of his attention.

Li Lingsu stood with his hands behind his back, with an extraordinary demeanor, and smiled:

"Sister Qing, I said, you have to believe me, I still have some face."

Xu Qi'an glanced at him, turned his head without any expression, and shouted to the room:

"Chai Xing'er, come out for a moment."

Li Lingsu's expression froze instantly!
