Chapter 116 Foundation Building Pill
Tianshi Dao changed its name to Taoism and killed the bad apples.
Fortunately, it was not completely rotten, at least half of the people were still alive.
How to tell whether they are lying or not is very simple. First, use the sword to sacrifice, the sword energy is compelling, and the people's spirit is under high pressure.
Then suddenly read out the cancellation of the policy that concerns their vital interests, and the inner shock will definitely reveal the flaws.
They can't hide their lies from themselves.
Thirteen people were killed in an instant. Everyone present was trembling. Some were excited, just like people like Kou Zhen, who felt that they had met a wise leader; some were afraid and sad, thinking that Xu Xuan was a killer.
In fact, their guess was not wrong. Xu Xuan didn't often kill people in the previous world, but the number of people who died because of him was estimated to be more than 10 million. He was a naked killer.
It's just that it wasn't him who executed it, but his younger brother Xu Yong.
Xu Xuan said that if the barbarians are not in power, the Han Dynasty will flourish. If Xu Yong carried it out, millions of people would disappear. For a long time, using barbarian language and wearing barbarian clothes were serious crimes. His sentence of eliminating cynicism led to the extinction of the Yansheng family and the death of hundreds of thousands of Confucian scholars.
Add to that the expansion of the Baidi Sect overseas and the more than two million people killed during the Taiping years, tens of millions of people are not a problem.
Xu Xuan is now letting them know that the gods are not good men and women, but majestic and terrifying living gods.
"You have passed the test and will be awarded Huangting Neijing Pills." Xu Xuan said, he was well aware of the principle of giving sweet dates and big sticks.
"May I ask the Heaven... True Lord, what is Huangting Neijing Pills?" Kou Zhen asked boldly.
"Come with me."
Xu Xuan fell from the void and turned to the back hall.
Kou Zhen followed him, and Xu Xuan took out a medicine bottle.
"Huangting Neijing Pills contain the larvae of the spirit butterfly, also known as Neijing God, which means breaking the cocoon into a butterfly and becoming immortal."
Xu Xuan roughly introduced the specific effects of the twelve insects.
"Master, can I take them all?" Kou Zhen said.
"Yes, but it depends on your personal ability."
Xu Xuan poured out three pills.
Kou Zhen took them without hesitation, and they melted in his mouth. A burning energy and a piercing pain filled his heart.
"Ah!" Kou Zhen couldn't help but scream, and everyone in the hall was scared to death.
"Hold the spirit platform tightly!" Xu Xuan shouted in a low voice.
I don't know if there is a thin spiritual energy in this world, or for some reason, the insects have become extremely tenacious.
While Kou Zhen endured, Xu Xuan injected the true energy into his body to sense the changes in the operation of the internal force.
The internal force is indeed a kind of "energy", which can only increase the body, and cannot release spells because there is no qi and spirit.
Stronger skills may have attributes. The ghost illusion body method of Longhu Mountain has the characteristics of wind, and is accompanied by a certain illusion.
Kou Zhen's foot meridians are a bit strange, which should be the characteristics of practicing the ghost illusion body method.
No wonder practicing different martial arts in this world will cause internal force conflicts, it turns out that it is because of the change of meridians.
For example, people who practice fire-attributed skills may go astray if they practice water-attributed martial arts.
The internal force is running in the body, but it has not broken the Ren and Du meridians. Breaking the Ren and Du meridians should be innate. As for the grandmaster, it may be necessary to comprehend some martial arts ideas.
After a long time, while everyone was feeling uneasy, Kou Zhen appeared from behind the hall.
Wow!
Kou Zhen was extremely fast, and three afterimages appeared on the spot.
With all qualities improved, his martial arts were strengthened again.
Growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What are you doing?" Kou Jie said in astonishment.
"The secret method given by the True Lord may be a little painful, but it has many benefits."
Soon, only Kou Zhen and Lu Jing planted twelve insects, and the others could only plant eight insects at most, and their bodies underwent a qualitative transformation.
Soon, all twelve people finished planting, and they were all in high spirits. Feeling the surging power in their bodies, everyone was eager to try.
"In the future, cancel all rice tax, abolish the title of ghost soldiers, change to Taoist priests, and the leader of the Taoist priests will be called Taoist priest."
The name of ghost soldiers is too gloomy, and those who don't know them may think it is a demon sect.
As for the original title of high priest, it has also become a more ordinary Taoist priest.
"Kou Zhen and Lu Jing are Taoist priests, and the others are all Taoist priests. Confiscate the land and shops of the executed ghost soldiers, and settle accounts with the local tyrants and gentry who conspired with these people to plunder the people's fat. All land belongs to Taoism and is handed over to the people for cultivation. The land tax shall be distributed according to the land, and the grain tax shall not exceed one tenth."
Kou Zhen is brave and Lu Jing is resourceful.
As for the disabled Kou Jie, he can only be an ordinary Taoist priest.
Xu Xuan plans to do something big and directly implement public ownership and the distribution of land tax.
"Yes, sir!"
In the small courtyard with a private door, Xu Xuan finally had some free time. He took out the bronze mirror of the gods. The appearance of the bronze mirror was no different from the original one.
But there was a crystal clear sapphire on the back.
"Does this mean traveling to a new world?"
Xu Xuan sensed it and found that he could not go to the previous world, so he sensed his own information.
Name: Xu Xuan
Lifespan: 111/250
Realm: Qi training level nine, pure body, double pupil level one
Kungfu: Golden Gate Jade Lock Pure Tranquility Secret (perfect), Supreme Nine Heavens Inner Canon (entry 67%) Double pupil level one (entry 6%).
Spell: Little Man in Bottle (entry 1%)...
"Mainly practice Supreme Nine Heavens Inner Canon, and bloodline double pupil, prepare to break the mirror, find a new host, and see if I can trade it to this world without materials, and reproduce the elixir."
The previous elixir was basically useless to me, so Xu Xuan decided to change to a new one.
The last thing was the little man in the bottle.
Xu Xuan conjured up a two-finger-wide glass bottle, drew a spell on the bottle body with cinnabar, and tightly buckled it with an oak cork.
From the outside, there was a ball of black and red air in the bottle.
This was the resentment and blood of the ghosts that had just been collected.
The environment of this world is suitable for raising these things, at least they will not automatically dissipate because of the lack of spiritual energy when released.
Xu Xuan took out the spirit stone and laid a spirit gathering array.
The spirit stone activated the spirit gathering array, replenishing some spiritual energy, and the spirit gathering array absorbed external spiritual energy, so compared with the previous world, the energy consumption was reduced to one third.
The method of cultivation for the little man in the bottle is simple, and only three conditions are needed: spiritual energy, spells, and the philosopher's stone.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, in the dim room, red light flickered, and the sound of spells came faintly.
The surroundings of the house were a little cold.
On the other side, Kou Zhen and others killed towards the two villages under the jurisdiction of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect.
The two villages were not big, with a total population of less than 3,000, but almost all the land belonged to three families.
"Take them all down!!"
Kou Zhen ordered.
The masters crossed the high wall, and the screams of the servants and the screams of the women rang out from inside the door.
Click!
The red door opened, and the men escorted an old man who was also the head of the village and the clan leader.
"Goddess Kou, are you going to rebel? Let the Liu family go, I am willing to donate all my property."
"Hehe, we are a kind family, how can we say we are rebelling."
Kou Zhen showed a strange smile, he held the sword at his waist, and was about to kill this man.
"Wait." Lu Jing stopped Kou Zhen, "Don't kill him, killing Zhen would be a rebellion, you might as well put him under house arrest first to deal with the superiors, we should take it slowly."
"Okay."
After that, the other main culprits were executed, the granaries were opened to release grain, and the people's support was won. Then the property was confiscated, the fields were distributed to the people in the name of Taoism, and a new law of allocating land was promulgated.
So far, on this piece of land, the head tax was abolished for the first time in history.
The two of them dealt with it for three days. On the way back, Lu Jing was silent in deep thought. Compared with the robust Kou Zhen, Lu Jing seemed weak and frail, as if he would fall down if the wind blew. This was in line with the aesthetic of sickness and weakness of the scholars of the time. Judging from his eyes, Lu Jing was much sharper than ordinary people.
"It's not a solution to go on like this. My father had an old relationship with the governor of Chencang. I plan to ask him to recommend me to get a position in Feng County so that we can start planning and wait for future changes."
A declining family is still a family. In this dynasty that pays attention to family status, the identity of a family is still quite useful.
"That's great!"
Without further delay, Lu Jing immediately rushed to the county city.
Kou Zhen returned to the villa.
"Master, the real master invites you!!"
Someone came forward to report.
Kou Zhen passed through the corridors and came to the small courtyard at the back.
Before anyone arrived, the door opened automatically.
"Come in!"
Xu Xuan's voice came.
In the courtyard, a Taoist priest in a white robe was sitting on a mat. He had an indescribable harmony and holiness. His eyes were faintly purple, like a banished immortal, with a mysterious temperament.
At this time, a breeze blew in the yard, and Kou Zhen felt a slight chill. Something appeared beside Xu Xuan.
When he saw this thing, Kou Zhen's cold light exploded.
This was a human head made of dark green mist. The human head was fierce and evil, with a long dark green tail flame, hovering beside Xu Xuan, and the fierce ghost eyes stared at him closely.
Torturing ghosts and summoning gods, the peerless immortal.
In addition to being sacred, there are also terrifying means. Isn't this the appearance of the gods in mythology?
Kou Zhen's inner awe was even deeper.
Xu Xuan waved his hand, and a thousand taels of gold, various jewelry, jade, and handicrafts appeared on the ground. And a thin piece of paper.
"Take this money first, and call someone to move it away later."
"Yes!" It was the first time that Kou Zhen saw so much money.
Xu Xuan pointed to the materials for making the Philosopher's Stone, the Foundation-Building Pill, etc., and said, "You are responsible for collecting all the materials recorded on this piece of paper and offering them regularly in the future."
"Yes, sir!"
Xu Xuan waved his hand, and Kou Zhen withdrew.
Seeing Kou Zhen leave, Xu Xuan's mind moved, and the dark green head disappeared immediately.
Xu Xuan is good at creating a persona. In the previous world, he was at a low level, and he could easily make a fireball and arouse others' awe.
The people in this world have high martial arts, and their psychological threshold for strength has become higher, so they must be both kind and powerful.
At least let them understand that the gods are not the kind grandfathers in myths who give out benefits as soon as they come down to earth, and they can't finish eating steamed buns and meat.
Instead, it is to make people obey and believe, and to be willing to die for it, so that they can get benefits.
There is no such thing as gaining something without hard work.
"There is a Heshou Mountain nearby, with a beautiful scenery, which is suitable for growing phoenix trees. Just build a few formations and you can start practicing."
When the foundation-building pills and other pills arrive, you can start to break through the foundation-building.
At the same time, in another world, the mirror suddenly shattered, waiting for a new host.
Half a year passed in a flash.
