Chapter 685: Raising Hope

As cities fell one after another in the Western Regions, and oases changed hands one after another, Taoist temples of the Daozu True Transmission lineage were rapidly built, and at the same time, many grassland tribes and herdsmen who participated in the Western Expedition settled here.

There is a suitable place to live here, and the surrounding environment is much better than the grassland.

If you want to graze, there are grasslands with abundant water and grass around. If you want to farm, there is also suitable fertile land here.

Not only that, there are also various gemstone deposits, unique vegetables and fruits in the Western Regions, etc., and it is also a transit station on the Silk Road.

The living standard immediately rose several levels. Who would still miss the difficult life in the grassland environment?

Here, a large number of herdsmen who migrated here can still take care of the wool business!

Only when you really come here, you will know how vast the Western Regions are!

Not to mention the members of the Daozu True Transmission lineage who took the initiative to launch the Western Expedition, even the spies of other forces who sneaked in to get intelligence were all red-eyed by the rich harvests and seizures.

When the news was passed back to the grasslands outside the Great Wall, the entire grassland was boiling.

All the grassland tribes with some ambitions want to have a share.

Even the tribes that want to cling to the Taoist lineage are actively trying to seize the opportunity to get on board.

The Turkic high-level officials are also very tempted. They are being watched too closely on the grassland and can't do anything at all.

The damn Taoist lineage is even more disliked by them than the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty.

The Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty is too far away, and he can be dealt with by just coaxing him, and he can even get a lot of benefits.

But the Taoist lineage is too close, just like the eyes of the Great Sui Empire planted in the grasslands outside the Great Wall, not giving the Turks any opportunity to act in violation of the rules.

Unfortunately, the strong men of the Taoist lineage are too strong, even the Martial Master Bi Xuan dare not directly confront them.

Naturally, the Turkic high-level officials dare not joke with their own lives. They know the power of a martial arts master and how terrifying it can be.

Right now, it was heard that there was chaos in the Great Sui Dynasty, and the Great Sui Emperor did several stupid things that affected his authority, but the Turks could do nothing.

They dared not offend the Taoist lineage, and they were really frustrated!

Now the opportunity has come. The Taoist lineage took the initiative to start the prelude to the Western Expedition, and the Turkic tribes can naturally reap the benefits and the more critical huge territory.

It is really meaningless to stay in the grasslands outside the Great Wall. It is better to find a place with a better environment to act arrogantly.

Instead of being gradually surrounded by Taoist temples, and then having to do things according to the rules of the Taoist lineage, it is chilling to think about it.

This time, even Wu Zun Bi Xuan approved the idea of ​​participating in the Western Expedition, so what else can be said?

The same idea as the Turks is the Tiele Eight Tribes, which are equally powerful in the grasslands outside the Great Wall.

Their situation is even more frustrated than the Turkic tribes.

Who told the Tiele Eight Tribes that there is no martial arts master sitting in charge, so they are naturally restricted everywhere.

Tiele Flying Eagle Qu Ao was also depressed. In fact, the Daozu True Transmission Lineage did not prevent him from entering and leaving the Desert Temple, but every time he was just a little bit away from the martial arts master, he just couldn't get through.

For safety, he didn't even send his son Ren Shaoming to the Central Plains, so naturally there would be no more Iron Cavalry Club.

This time, there was a chance to take advantage of the Daozu True Transmission Lineage, and the top leaders of the Tiele Eight Tribes would naturally not give up easily.

Even Flying Eagle Qu Ao agreed with this approach. Maybe after arriving in the Western Regions, he would be able to see more Western martial arts, and thus be able to enter the ranks of martial arts masters.

Anyone who has been on guard against the Turkic Martial Master Bi Xuan and the Demonic Master Zhao Deyan of the Demonic Sect all day long knows how hard it is. It is simply not a life for humans.

The Western Regions today are not the modern times, when the yellow sand was everywhere.

There are many oases, and there is no shortage of ground and underground water sources. It can't be said to be a Feng Shui treasure land, but the environment is indeed much better than the grasslands outside the Great Wall.

It is just that the vast area, inconvenient transportation, and water problems have led to the dispersion of the population, and the carrying capacity is also limited, so it is impossible to form a large unified regime.

This point is not liked by the grassland overlords of all generations, but it is the point that the Taoist lineage values.

Like the famous Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, the more decentralized the regime and power are, the more beneficial it is to the Taoist lineage, provided that the Taoist lineage itself is not problematic and can continuously cultivate reserve talents.

With the smooth progress of the Western Expedition, good news came one after another, and for the people and soldiers of the border areas in the northwest, it was also something that they could really feel the benefits.

Apart from other things, the specialties from the Western Regions are abundant in the border markets, and the prices are quite affordable, which can greatly enrich the types of food for the people and soldiers of the border areas.

There are many other benefits, and you can make a lot of money just by being a middleman to make a profit.

At this time, as the second in command of the Taoist lineage, Jia Huan came to Zhongnan Mountain.

He came here this time, one is to visit the headquarters of Louguan Dao, and the other is to discuss other things.

Qi Hui, the head of the Louguan Dao, gave Jia Huan a warm reception and invited those of the ten famous Tiangu elders in the Central Plains Dao to accompany him if they were free, giving Jia Huan enough face.

Fortunately, they didn't know Jia Huan's other identity, otherwise they would have been even more enthusiastic and thoughtful.

"What, the Taoist lineage led the spread of Taoism to the West and dispatched tens of thousands of cavalry in one go?"

When Jia Huan casually told the Taoist lineage about the big move, it immediately caused an exclamation.

"Isn't this nonsense? Why didn't you inform the Taoist sect in the Central Plains before? So that we can be mentally prepared and determine how to help increase the chances of winning?"

A Taoist leader was dissatisfied and looked at Jia Huan with a reproachful look.

"It's not good to inform you in advance about this matter. It will easily attract the attention of the court!"

Jia Huan explained calmly: "It's just that the Taoist ancestor's true lineage acted alone, and the cavalry evolved from half of the herdsmen in the grasslands outside the Great Wall will not attract too much attention from the Luoyang court!"

If it weren't for the concern in that guy's words, Jia Huan would probably have been unable to resist teaching him a lesson.

This was naturally just to fool the Taoist leaders in the Central Plains. Some things are meaningless if they are said too clearly. It's just a struggle for the right to speak.

"My main purpose of this trip is to ask for help from the Central Plains Taoist sect. I hope you can allocate more people to help. The Western Expedition has been receiving frequent good news!"

What else can I say? The Central Plains Taoist sect has inherited the great favor of the Taoist ancestor, so naturally they must do their best to help the Taoist ancestor.

For a period of time, Jia Huan was invited to stay in Zhongnan Mountain and talk about Taoism with a group of Taoist masters.

Then, he inadvertently showed a powerful "Ren Bing Sword Technique" and directly beat a group of Taoist masters including Qi Hui into a mess.

You know, several of them have reached the level of quasi-grandmasters!

Jia Huan can still defeat them easily, so you don't need to think about what level his strength has reached.

It's just that Jia Huan didn't say it, but the Central Plains Taoist masters knew it in their hearts. Then, in addition to talking about Taoism, they often asked for advice on martial arts.

Everyone is very realistic!

If you want to survive in this world, and survive well, simply possessing a wealth of Taoist theories will at most make you a master within Taoism. The key is to have sufficiently strong martial arts to truly match your Taoist status and power.
