From Soldier To Emperor

A scene that is rare in the world appeared on the outskirts of Khotan Army Town. For Richard’s Red Scarf Army, undead soldiers have long been commonplace. Richard also often pulls out an army of ordinary people to come into contact with Genevieve’s undead soldiers. Let them eliminate the fear of the skeleton frame in their hearts.

If even the most basic sense of fear cannot be eliminated, how can you cooperate on the battlefield?

Limited by magic power and fresh corpses, Richard knew that this world could not burst the undead army indefinitely. He couldn't do it if Genevieve was squeezed dry, unless a stable source of spiritual stones or magic stones was found!

However, Richard has only heard of spiritual power in this world, which is the general term for energy born out of the flesh by Buddhist priests and other magicians. It also means to cultivate immortality...

The Taoists call themselves the "fairy reserve team", while the Buddhist disciples call themselves Buddha...

In short, the two major schools of Taoism and Buddhism have made themselves very tall, but the ultimate goal is either to evacuate to immortality or to go to the west to enjoy the prosperity of the world of bliss...

Because of this, they call the energy factor they use as spiritual power.

It’s just that Richard has heard of spiritual power but never heard of such things as spiritual stones, and the Buddhist and Taoist disciples basically rely on the spiritual roots of their talents to cultivate spiritual power, and the things that increase their cultivation base for external use are all things. Some rare and exotic plants are called Lingzhi by the Buddhist and Taoist families.

Through the treatment and consumption of Lingzhi, to assist the cultivation.

In addition, Taoism also has a special alchemy, which is a magic technique that specializes in processing spiritual plants and extracting spiritual power pills. It is the key to Taoism's rise!

On the other hand, Buddhism relies on various techniques of asceticism, and there are often ascetic monks in Buddhism. They rely on various extreme self-abuse and hardship environments, and use special secret techniques to stimulate themselves and improve the efficiency of spiritual practice.

Both have their own benefits. Alchemy consumes a lot of materials and money. The vast majority of Taoist priests with real talents are inextricably related to the local government and big family members, and they are even hired guest officials. The existence of elders, the Tang court even hired a large number of Taoist priests, the top Taoist priests with names and surnames are basically Datang workers...

Buddhism relies on its own secret methods for penance and stimulation, on the contrary, it is not highly dependent on the government.

Therefore, compared with Taoism becoming the imperial family and the running dogs of local wealthy families, Buddhism has always retained its own detached status. Shaolin Temple itself has a certain amount of force. If not necessary, even the government is not willing to offend.

Of course, Buddhism can spread in the Tang Dynasty, but it is not rigid and stubborn. On the contrary, although they do not need a large amount of money to supply their own cultivation, they still maintain a good relationship with the Tang court and local authorities. There was an emperor who followed Buddhism.

Compared with the Taoist image of a market servant, Buddhism appears to be more noble.

It’s just that Buddhism often requires people to endure hardships and self-abuse. Naturally, they need to rely on strong willpower. Even if Buddhism does not care about providing secret techniques to the Tang royal family and local tycoons, those pampered princes and clan children cannot bear the hardship...

Therefore, most of the masters in Buddhism came from poor families. On the contrary, the disciples of Taoism were filled with a large number of children from rich families. Almost all of the imperial family of the Tang Dynasty were named disciples of Taoism.

However, with the extensive consumption of spiritual plants and the inability to artificially cultivate them, alchemy gradually declined. Instead, an early black powder was developed in an alchemy accident.

Yes, the news that Richard got revealed that Datang had black powder, but they did not effectively use it in the war, but used it as an entertainment product such as fireworks.

This is not a technical issue, but a different perspective on affairs.

Because there are warriors who can pull strong bows in the Datang army, and the technology tree of crossbows is also very high, there is no need to develop a new type of long-range weapon. If there is no demand, naturally there will be no desire to develop firearms...

People in East Asia have not yet realized the power of firearms, and more often use them as fireworks.

The wisdom of the Tang people is still very high. In order to provide better and more ornamental fireworks, Datang's research on the formula of black powder has been very complete, and it is fully capable of mass production of black powder!

Of course, black powder is mainly found in the affluent Central Plains. In the Western Regions, fireworks and firecrackers are not popular.

The reduction of spiritual plants has caused Taoist alchemy to decline because it cannot find raw materials, and the spiritual pill has also become a special offering, let alone in the Western Regions, even in the homes of the powerful family in the Central Plains, it is difficult to find a real spiritual pill!

This is why the decline of Taoism was overtaken by Buddhism.

Relying on foreign objects is not as good as honing oneself.

However, the Buddhism's secret method of self-abuse practice shuts out most people with spiritual roots. Although Buddhism has surpassed Taoism, it has never been able to spread in a true sense.

Many ascetics did not end up in the hands of foreign enemies, but collapsed in their willpower during self-abuse, and ended up with themselves...

This is the intelligence of this world's extraordinary power that Richard has learned through investigation. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com

Richard was unable to get the only useful spirit pill, and as for spirit stones, he had never heard of it. If he wanted to quickly replenish his magic power, besides allowing Genevieve to slowly recover, he could only rely on absorbing Tang coins. …

However, Richard knew that the Tang royal family definitely had a way to quickly replenish the magic power, otherwise it would not be possible for Tang coins to be mass-produced on a large scale!

It's just that this method has been blocked, and Richard has found no clue about his current position.

After rows of skeleton racks under the town of Khotan Army rushed up carrying the ladder, the soldiers of the defending army who were already low in morale were so scared that they turned around and fled!

Although there are many children of the Yuchi family overseeing the battle in the city, it is still difficult to prevent the rout.

As a result, the skeleton soldiers did not receive the rain of arrows thrown from the city, so they set up the ladder, and the skeletons slowly climbed up!

When the first skeleton soldier stepped on the head of the city, with its terrifying appearance and occasional hoarse noise, even the last remaining guard soldiers dropped their weapons and scrambled.

The children of the Yuchi family fleeing with the defeated soldiers with a face of despair, without the soldiers, relying on dozens of people to go up is purely to die!

The situation on the battlefield was unexpectedly good. Only one of Richard's skeleton soldiers was broken up by an arrow thrown by the city with his eyes closed, and there were no casualties other than that!

After the skeleton soldiers boarded the city wall, the soldiers brought the fear of the skeleton soldiers back to the town of Khotan. The popular army of the Yuchi family and Jia Ding dispersed under the influence of the soldiers!

The local soldiers threw their weapons, took off their clothes and hid in their homes, and immediately became good citizens, while those who were not local crowded and rushed out of the three-missing city gate in Richard's siege!
