The Sacred Ding
Chapter 62
Although it will be sooner or later for Chen lie to be appointed Deputy envoy of Yulong camp and granted the title of tinghou, it also needs the official writing of the imperial court to settle the dust.
With the canonization of the Marquis of the pavilion, Chen lie will officially squeeze into the high-level ranks of the Wuwei army. There will also be a formal fief to support ministries and domestic slaves. It will also change from a side branch of the Chen family to one of the four main branches of the Chen family; As the "legitimate son" of tinghou, Chen Hai will also be eligible to directly enter the inner door of the seven peaks of taiweizong.
Before that, Chen Zhang and Chen Qing officially entered the inner door of taiweizong after opening the secret palace of Linghai.
Zhou Jun, Ge Tong and others are also very happy. They follow Chen Hai and have been regarded as Chen lie''s lineage; When Chen lie was granted the Marquis of the pavilion, their status in the army or in the sect naturally rose.
"The new year''s festival is coming. Does younger martial brother Chen spend two days in the mountains to celebrate it for martial Uncle Chen?" Zhou Jun asked with a smile.
Chen Hai grabbed the lacquer sealed wooden box containing four Tongmai pills and said, "three days later, we will go down the mountain together to celebrate the gift to our uncle..."
Three days later, the sky was just white, and the surrounding mountains were still shrouded in white snow.
After Chen Hai finished his morning class, he slowly walked down the Xiling of snake valley with his green cunning horse. Wu Meng, Ge Tong and Zhou Jun had packed their bags and waited in front of Xiling mountain for Chen hai to come down
They have to arrive at Yulong mansion before nightfall. They have to start from the pharmacist''s garden before dawn.
Seeing that Chen Hai''s scarred face was covered with a light porcelain white luster, only Wu Meng''s cultivation in the middle of the spirit realm could clearly see what sign it was. He looked shocked and said: "the young Lord has stepped into the later stage of the tongxuan realm, congratulations..."
Chen Hai smiled and said, "it''s relatively excellent to cultivate enough Mingyang and hand Mingyang. But I used four Tongmai pills. In other people''s eyes, it may not be something worth celebrating."
Wu Meng, Zhou Jun and Ge Tong all smiled awkwardly and didn''t know how to comfort Chen Hai.
Chen Hai shared five Tongmai pills in the later stage of entering tongxuan territory. With the consumption of other pills, the total consumption of pills alone was no less than 40000 points, and he only built four spiritual veins.
In contrast, Zhou Jun successfully opened the Linghai secret palace on the basis of six spiritual veins. Over the years, the total consumption of pills has been less than 10000 points. It is conceivable how much the gap is between the two.
More importantly, Chen Hai has taken five Tongmai pills, and the drug power of Tongmai pills will be greatly weakened.
The four main Qi veins of foot Shaoyang, foot Mingyang, hand Shaoyang and hand Mingyang cultivated by Chen Hai at this time are the easiest to cultivate among the twelve main Qi veins. Later, it is very unlikely to use Tongmai pill to break through other main Qi veins.
This means that Chen Hai may only open up the secret palace of Linghai on the basis of the four spiritual veins. His strength to enter the spiritual realm and the potential of subsequent cultivation will be greatly limited, not to mention compared with the legitimate children of those gifted sects, and may not even be like ordinary inner disciples.
Seeing Wu Meng, Zhou Jun and Ge Tong repress their atmosphere, Chen Hai laughs. Ge and they help prepare their bags, drive their horses up the newly built mountain road and go to huanglongyuan first
He knew from the beginning that he was destined to take a more difficult path of cultivation than ordinary people. In less than two years, he could successfully cultivate Four Spiritual veins, step into the later stage of tongxuan realm, and clear away obstacles for opening up Linghai secret palace, which was far better than his expectation.
Since he is destined to take a different path of practice, why care about these minor troubles?
Wuwei army wantonly operated Yulong mountain, and Hexiang army also expanded its armaments in Yanchuan Prefecture in the south. However, in the past six months, neither side took further action.
I can''t see who will move in a short time. After all, I''m not fully prepared.
As the new year''s festival is approaching, both the top and bottom of Yulong Mountain are immersed in the atmosphere of celebrating the new year''s festival.
Accompanied by Wu Meng, Ge Tong and Zhou Jun, Chen Hai walked meandering in Yulong mountain for most of the day before riding out of Yulong Mountain and entering the new Yulong mansion in the north of Chenqiao village.
In the afternoon, it snowed again in the mountains, and the north and south of Yulong Mountain were covered with snow. The newly-built Yulong mansion city was more magnificent than Chen Hai imagined. The city wall built according to the terrain of Shanling mountain was 20 or 30 miles long, no smaller than Mengyi city at the east foot of tieliuling mountain.
Even if 200000 labourers were requisitioned, it would be impossible to build such a powerful city in just half a year. It must be that a large number of xuanxiu who are proficient in earth series techniques were transferred from shangqifeng to participate in the construction of the city.
The walls, which are as black as dragons, are 20 or 30 meters high and extremely broad. Iron juice is poured between the built boulders. The walls are also engraved with a large number of Taoist seals, which vaguely affects the mysterious power between heaven and earth, so that any point of the wall can withstand the attack of the strong in the Mingqiao environment.
Chen Haikong''s horse stopped in front of the city wall and didn''t rush into the city. He was filled with emotion. It''s hard to imagine how many resources were used to protect the general''s house in half a year.
Since the Wuwei army has such abundant resources, why did Yulong and other prefectures and counties continue to be fierce for several years and do not actively provide relief until the refugees make trouble and the local authorities can''t suppress them?
Or does the Dadu protectorate need such a civil commotion on the border with the Hexiang army so that it can have an excuse to expand its armaments?
Chen Hai did not dare to speculate, but he could see the real strength of the Wuwei army from the construction of the Yulong mansion. He thought to himself, what kind of medicine did he Xiangjun take wrong and want to pull the fierce beast of the Wuwei army.
During this time, Chen Hai has made great efforts to study the military town system of the Dayan Empire and many military towns that occupy most of the land of Yanzhou.
Although the Hexiang army has two unparalleled strong Taoists, one of whom is the Deputy pivot envoy of the Tianshu court of the imperial court, the phenomenon of the patriarchal clan monopolizing practice resources is more serious under the rule of the Hexiang army, and the poor disciples can only have practice opportunities by relying on the patriarchal clan.
It seems that this stale system makes the patriarchal and clan strength in the governance of Hexiang army more powerful, but just so, it makes the tail in the Hexiang army system remain large, and the internal patriarchal valves contain each other, so that the Hexiang army has expanded its armaments in the south of Yulong Mountain in the past six months, but the effect is not great.
Although the Hexiang army hoards a large number of troops and horses in the south of Yulong mountain, and the number of famous Mingqiao strongmen is even more than that of Yulong camp, the construction of Fangzhai pass is far from that of Wuwei army.
Chen Hai doesn''t know what others think. He knows that the Wuwei army is going to send troops from Yulong mountain. As long as they focus on conquering several cities, they can point directly at the hinterland of Hexiang army. At this time, even if Hexiang army wants to take Yulong mountain, it will pay a heavy price in front of more than 30 walled city passes built along the dangerous valley and Ravine of Yulong mountain.
The world is still generally focused on those strong people whose accomplishments are above Mingqiao and daodan, but Chen Hai knows that the overall mobilization ability of Wuwei army is much better than that of Hexiang army.
The weather, place and people are in harmony. He Xiangjun scored negative in both people and place. Chen Hai secretly felt that it might not be long before Wu Wei God Hou Dong Liang decided to send troops, right?
"I didn''t expect that daduhu general''s house was determined to build Yulong house so broad." Zhou Jun also sighed with great emotion.
"It seems that there will be a war between Wuwei army and Hexiang army!" Chen Hai said what he thought.
"How to say?" Ge Tong asked suspiciously, "if we really want to start a war, why waste so much resources and build such a powerful city here?"
"In the eyes of most people, it is a defensive performance to invest a lot of resources in protecting the general''s house and building the Yulongshan defense line, but it can not be understood as military mobilization before the war."
Chen Hai explained,
"A few years ago, the Wuwei army went out of tieliuling mountain in the West and attacked the eastern region of Jinzhou. It can only be said that the victory and defeat are at a stalemate. After several years, it has not experienced a war. To launch a new war, in addition to troops and horses, resources such as property need to be mobilized and integrated. It is also necessary to make sure that the clans will not have great internal constraints. In order to think about victory first, it is unfavorable to attack lanchuan counties, and the retreat of the army has to be defended This is also the key to large-scale construction and the construction of Yulong Mountain defense line. However, after a lot of things are well prepared, general Dadu is sure that he is confident enough that it should be the time when the soldiers leave Yulong Mountain... "
"Really?" Wu Meng didn''t believe Chen Hai''s speculation.
Chen Hai smiled. The relationship between the Dayan Empire and the military towns was too similar to a certain historical track that had taken place on earth. When the central government was weak and could not effectively control the local government, the local military administration was monopolized by the military oligarchy and even hereditary. Do you need to guess what would happen next?
The Hexiang army is ambitious to accept the surrender of the rebels, and the Hexiang army has no small ambitions. How can the ambitious God of Wuwei have no greater ambitions?
Seeing that Wu Meng, Zhou Jun and others were still puzzled, Chen Hai thought that after he reached the realm of cultivation, it might be difficult to suppress them for a long time. He had to put something out to convince them, and continued to explain:
"The Dadu general''s army has invested so much resources in Yulong mountain that it will not be satisfied to control the small Yulong mountain. Moreover, the Wuwei army is facing the threat of Qiang in Jinzhou in the west, and there are demon and barbarian tribes gathered in the north of Taiwei mountain. It is already facing the enemy on both sides. At this time, the Hexiang army in the South has exposed hostility. The Dadu general''s house is likely to strike first, so as not to fall into the dilemma of facing three enemies..."
Wu Meng was silent. He had heard sun Gan talk about similar conclusions before. Unexpectedly, Chen Hai lived in a corner and had such insight.
"Really?" Zhou Jun and Ge Tong looked at the newly-built Yulong mansion with a slightly confused look, and there was a faint excitement of making achievements.
Chen Hai entered Yulong city this time. First, he was reunited on New Year''s day to celebrate that Chen lie was officially granted the Marquis of Zhaoyang Pavilion; Ge Tong and Zhou Jun accompanied Chen Hai into Yulong city this time. In the past month, they have successfully opened up the spirit sea and stepped into the spirit realm on the basis of five spirit veins and six spirit veins respectively.
As Chen lie''s "legitimate son", Chen Hai can directly practice in the inner gate of the seven peaks of the taiweizong, which is the privilege of the "legitimate son" of the Zong valve, and Zhou Jun naturally wants to practice in the inner gate of the seven peaks of the taiweizong this time.
This time, in addition to traveling with Chen hai to report on Qifeng on Taiwei mountain, he also went to Yulong mansion to meet Chen lie; After entering the inner door of Shangqi peak, he will confirm the formal relationship between teachers and biographies. Zhou Jun wants to practice under the door of Chen lie, the third generation true biography of taiweizong.
In the near future, if there is a war between Wuwei army and Hexiang army, it also means that their newly rising young generation will have more opportunities to make achievements.
Ge was nearly forty years old in the same year. Even if he stepped into the spiritual realm, he was not qualified to practice in the inner gate of the seven peaks.
Although Ge tong can continue to stay in the army and serve as a higher-level middle-level military officer, or return to huanglongyuan Taoist academy as a low-level deacon, in addition to obtaining some practical skills from the Taoist academy, he can''t obtain the fundamental mystery and true formula of a higher realm after opening up the spiritual realm for cultivation
Ge Tong wants to join the Chen family this time and officially become a part of the Chen family.
Although there is a big gap between Chen''s Secret clan unique learning and taiweizong''s fundamental Xuanfa Dan tripod formula, it is also a good choice for xuanxiu in the spirit realm.
After Ge Tong officially joined the Chen family, he could practice Chen''s secret formula of Qingyuan sword like Wu Meng and other leaders of the spirit realm. He was also eager to obtain more combat achievements.
In addition to Zhou Jun and Ge Tong, Zhou Jingyuan also chose to join the Chen family.
He managed to cultivate the third spiritual pulse, and his practice stagnated. It was difficult to break through the spiritual realm. However, Zhou Jingyuan seemed to be the chief manager of the herbalist garden at this time, and his daughter Zhou Qingyun practiced beside Chen Qing. What else can he ask for if he doesn''t join the Chen family?
Shen Kun did not join the Chen family.
The father is a trilogy and family general, and the children are all trilogy and family generals. If you want to get rid of your nationality, you must make great achievements enough to be a marquis -- this is the rule that Yanzhou and the Dayan Empire have pursued for thousands of years.
Like GE Tong and Zhou Jingyuan, Shen Kun did not have the chance to become an inner disciple of taiweizong even if he entered the spiritual realm. However, his young son Shen Xiu had great talents. Less than a year after entering the Taoist school, he successively cultivated two main Qi veins of foot Shaoyang and hand Shaoyang, and became a Xuanyi disciple of the Taoist school. He is likely to have the chance to become an inner disciple of taiweizong or even a true disciple.
For Shen Xiu''s future, Shen Kun can''t directly depend on Chen.
Chen Hai can understand Shen Kun''s mood and won''t have any points with him.
