Taoist companions help me live forever
Chapter 173 Another Tide of Beasts
Some things are always difficult to break through the first time.
But as long as there is a first time, then the second, third, and even countless times will become a matter of course.
Just like the relationship between Luo Han and Yulan.
From avoiding each other before, to now talking about everything and being as close as sisters, it took less than half a month.
Of course, this is mainly due to Magnolia.
She seems to have a natural affinity that prevents other women from seeing her as a threat or opponent.
The highest good is like water. Water is good for all things and if there is no dispute, then no one in the world can compete with it.
Luo Han just moved into mansion No. 3 and started a new life.
As for Cave No. 2, she would only go there when she was refining elixirs, and take care of the medicine garden.
Yu Xian said that the only thing he was dissatisfied with was that Luo Han was too shy, which made him have to change places and run back and forth between the East and West courtyards in the middle of the night.
By the way, there is also Zhao Shiwen.
This concubine in name only has now fully integrated into the position of deputy director of the Taxation Department, and her cultivation level has barely reached perfection.
Thinking about it, it doesn't take long to start breaking through to the realm of foundation building.
However, just like when she was in the Zhao family, Zhao Shiwen regards her work as her home. She will not come to the main house to disturb the lady at all on weekdays, and abides by her duties as a concubine.
Although my spare time is focused on cultivation and all my energy is devoted to dealing with the two women at home, I occasionally go to the tax department to adjust my taste.
Office romance has its own unique flavor.
Especially when he saw Deputy Director Zhao, who was well-known in Shangyang City, taking off his cool coat in front of him.
Then……
Yu Xian's despicable heart was greatly satisfied.
Time passes slowly.
Even though Yu Xian didn't want to cause trouble, no one was looking for death to cause trouble for Yu Xian.
…
half year later.
Mansion No. 3.
Yu Xian spent his sixtieth birthday in a low-key manner, thinking about whether he should celebrate today's great event.
As a result, someone from the city lord's palace invited him to his former uncle's room.
"Tide of Beasts?!"
The teacup Yu Xian just picked up trembled and almost dropped it.
"Uncle, don't joke with me."
Chen Xiao felt that this uncle was quite harsh, but when he thought that his sister had already kicked Yu Xian, he tolerated it.
After all, I have endured it many times.
He snorted and said, "Am I going to scare you with this kind of thing? If I hadn't been able to see Xiao Yi now, I wouldn't have needed to come to you to discuss it."
Yu Xian put away his joking and asked seriously:
"Is the news confirmed? Who sent it?"
Chen Xiao said: "It's news from the Zhou family. They are in charge of the spirit beast department. They have discovered that recently there has been a large-scale gathering of monsters in the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountains, and many new species of monsters have appeared. They are suspected of coming from the depths of the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountains. of.
After I received the news, I went there in person. I noticed the auras of the three demon kings from a distance, so I didn't dare to act rashly, so I retreated first. "
"Three demon kings?!"
Yu Xian repeated in surprise.
The sudden appearance of the beast tide is enough to make people upset, but then three more demon kings appear, trying to force people to a dead end.
If there wasn't an ex-girlfriend on the mountain right now, he would have packed his bags and run away.
The Demon King is equivalent to Jin Dan Zhenren, and three of them come at a time. He builds a small foundation, but it is amazing that he can block one of them by relying on the city defense formation.
The next two will have no choice but to wait for death.
The third level formation is certainly powerful, but it also depends on the strength of the people in the main formation.
"Why this change?"
Yu Xian had specifically studied the beast tide in Shangyang City.
It usually appears once every thirty to fifty years, and is very large, but the group of monster beasts is mainly concentrated in the first level, and the second level monsters are already the leaders.
Most of the time, one third-level demon king will appear, and occasionally two will appear.
And when two demon kings appeared, it was a time of disaster for the immortal world in Shangyang City.
At that time, only Shangyang City could serve as a fortress to protect the last piece of pure land. The monks and mortals in other places could only hide in various corners like ground rats.
These days will last until Shangzong's reinforcements arrive, about three to five years.
But even if the three demon kings read through the history of Shangyang City since its founding, this has never happened before.
"This..." Chen Xiao hesitated and said, "I probably know what's going on."
He suddenly remembered the reminder that Master Danyang gave to his sister when he was leaving.
‘Zhang Yan, the true disciple of the Xuanyang Sect, was in a bad mood and went to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains not long ago. He killed two demon kings. It is very likely to trigger the next wave of beasts in advance, so he should be careful. ’
It's just that he was acting as a wooden person at the time, and the words went in one ear and out the other. In addition, the beast tide didn't come for a long time, so he didn't take it seriously.
He had an impression after being reminded by Yu Xian just now.
"Okay, as expected, it was you who brought the devils, not the monsters!"
Yu Xian glared at his former uncle.
He had only had a few days to live happily, and he hadn't made enough money yet.
Chen Xiao snorted coldly: "This matter has something to do with you too."
Yu Xian looked astonished: "Me? Uncle, please don't slander me! I've never even been to the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain Range, why did I attract so many monsters?"
Chen Xiao sneered again and again: "If my sister hadn't insisted on coming to find you, the Xuanyang Sect True Successor wouldn't have followed me shamelessly;
If the true successor of Xuanyang Sect didn't follow him, he wouldn't have suffered at Xiao Yi's place;
If he wasn't depressed, he wouldn't go to the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountains to find monsters to vent their anger on;
If he hadn't killed those demon kings, he wouldn't have angered the demon kings deep in the mountains, and there wouldn't be the beast tide today!
You said it wasn’t you! "
"I haven't gotten to the point after talking for a long time, so what's going on with the Xuanyang Sect's true inheritance?"
How could Yu Xian be unjustly accused? He slapped the table with an aura that was not impressive at all. He was bullying an honest man and did not dare to fight back.
"Chen Xiao, I sincerely called you uncle, but you secretly encouraged your sister to find another man behind my back.
Chen Xiao, I misjudged you.
Originally, I thought you were a man who promised a lot of money, but now it seems that you are also a villain who is hiding behind your back.
No wonder your sister broke up with me so happily. She has found a good person a long time ago, right? "
Regarding his sister's reputation, Chen Xiao immediately panicked and quickly explained:
"No, no, Yu Xian, don't get me wrong."
He forced a smile on his face and quickly went over the matter from beginning to end.
"This is what happened..."
After Yu Xian finished listening, only four words came to mind - Beauty is a disaster!
A little butterfly flapping its wings ten years ago caused a huge storm ten years later.
A golden elixir true man who couldn't find love, because he was unhappy, he went to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains and killed a few demon kings to relax, and then he patted his butt and left.
As a result, now that people's revenge has come, the culprit has nothing to do, but they, the unsuspecting people, have suffered all this.
Now it seems that it is indeed right for him and Chen Yi to temporarily separate.
His strength simply does not allow him to play such a high-end game.
After all, Chen Yi couldn't always protect him. If he wasn't careful, he would be killed by a killer who appeared out of nowhere.
But now that things have happened, it is useless to blame others. He can only face it calmly and seek the best way for himself.
As the saying goes, good fortune and misfortune depend on each other.
The beast tide is both a disaster and an opportunity for everyone.
After the last beast wave, although several foundation-building monks died in the city, Patriarch Zhao was seriously injured as a result. His mentality was unbalanced afterwards, and he lost everything for it.
However, the number of foundation-building monks who emerged after the beast tide actually exceeded the number of dead foundation-building monks several times.
For example, Zhao Jia, the foundation-building cultivator of the Zhao family who is currently stationed in the clan, including Yulan, was able to break through the foundation-building, thanks to the aftermath of the beast wave.
Without the demonic elixir contribution from those demonic beasts, there would be no sufficient output of foundation-building elixirs.
It was precisely because of this that Chen Xiao and he took turns killing the foundation-building monks in Shangyang City one after another.
Most of these foundation building families that were killed were newly rising foundation building families.
Once they reach the sky, their mentality has not been corrected, and they will boldly resist the majesty of Jindan Master.
On the contrary, like the long-established immortal cultivating family, they immediately corrected their attitude, clearly supported the real person, and took the opportunity to vigorously develop.
and……
A red flying sword in Yu Xian's dantian kept swimming in the blood diamond-like liquid mana. At this moment, it seemed to be interacting with its owner, emitting a bloodthirsty light.
He has never stopped practicing the Blood Demon Transformation Technique.
This is his current main practice.
The flesh and blood essence of monster beasts is also a great supplement to his magic power.
Even though he himself doesn't want his mana to be contaminated with blood impurities, the blood puppets under him don't care about this.
If he can use this beast tide to promote Ancestor Jiang and Zhao to third-level puppets, then he will have another trump card in his hand.
Also, he can use thousands of flesh and blood to refine a magic weapon - the Blood Demon Sword, just in time to use it after he breaks through the golden elixir.
at last……
The cultivation of a high-grade golden elixir magical power in the blood-transforming demon technique also requires a large array of flesh and blood as a sacrifice.
Unlike Chen Yi, he had a wealthy sect behind him to support him. He had already prepared the resources needed to practice the golden elixir magical power when he broke through to the golden elixir realm.
According to the original situation, he could only break through the Golden Core realm first.
Then he spent decades or hundreds of years collecting various resources for cultivating the golden elixir magical power, and finally managed to cultivate a good golden elixir magical power.
In fact, this is also the normal practice procedure for most Jindan monks.
But if this beast tide is handled properly, not only is it not a bad thing, it can actually help his cultivation and strength to greatly improve.
For a moment.
Yu Xian had a lot of thoughts in his mind and made a plan.
But on the surface, he said worriedly:
"We have to bear the responsibility for the trouble caused by the true disciples of Xuanyang Sect. But now even if we want to take responsibility, we are afraid that we cannot afford it.
Uncle, it’s not that I look down on you and me. With our little strength, how many demon kings can we fight? "
After all, Chen Xiao is only a second-level physical cultivator. His third-level combat power relies entirely on the Taoist formation patterns on his body, which is enough to deal with ordinary golden elixirs.
But expecting him to become the king of soldiers and hit ten is sheer wishful thinking.
Chen Xiao smiled bitterly: "Didn't I come to discuss this with you? You are quite accomplished in formations. You can even spy on the Taoist patterns on my body.
I want you to preside over the city defense formation, and I will assist you to see if you can stop the three demon kings. "
Yu Xian said insinuatingly: "Well, where is Xiao Yi?"
Chen Xiao said matter-of-factly: "If I could see Xiaoyi now, why would I come to you? For her, a mere three-headed demon king is nothing."
"So as long as we hold on long enough, when Xiaoyi comes out of isolation, the crisis will be resolved."
Yu Xian: "..."
"It's only two steps up the mountain. You are her brother. Even if she makes her unhappy, she can still kill you."
Chen Xiao was very stubborn at this time, shaking his head and saying:
"In short, we can't disturb Xiaoyi's practice."
Yu Xian was silent for a while and said, "You have the final say. If the city is destroyed, I will definitely be the first to run away."
He made no secret of his decision to flee without fighting.
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes and said: "I'm not really stupid. If you can't beat me and run to Xiao Yi's training palace, any demon king will die."
I am her brother. Even if it really disturbs her practice, she can still kill me. "
Yu Xian: "..."
Good guy, I actually let my uncle pretend.
In other words, this should have been his idea.
But probably subconsciously, he didn't want to see his ex-girlfriend so soon before he had the same strength as Chen Yi.
Yu Xian suddenly asked: "But have you ever thought about it, if you could wake up Xiao Yi earlier, maybe many fewer people would die in the city."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao was silent for a while, and then suddenly laughed, with an indifference and sadness in his voice that was very unfamiliar to Yu Xian.
He stared at Yu Xian and said word by word:
"Yuxian, you know, in the real world of immortality, the lives of ordinary people are worthless.
The more we value the lives of ordinary people, the faster they will die.
Because in the minds of some people, if we value these people, then these people are the handle to blackmail us and the trap for us to use.
In the end, everyone dies because of excessive mercy. "
Chen Xiao had a bit of the temperament of a great sage on his face.
"So let them live like weeds. As long as there is a little rain and sunshine, they will thrive and spread across the wilderness."
"Therefore, we don't have to deliberately protect them. If they really can't wait until Xiao Yi wakes up and are eaten by monsters, that will be their fate."
Yu Xian was stunned for a moment and asked:
"Is this what you have learned from the Xuanyin Sect? The world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs?"
Chen Xiao's momentum plummeted, and he said with some embarrassment:
"Uh... I learned this from someone else. I think what she said makes sense."
"I remember one time when Xiao Yi received a training mission from the sect to deal with a calamity cultivator who was causing trouble. I followed Xiao Yi as a follower.
Jie Xiu was quickly defeated by Xiao Yi, but his escape skills were quite high. After escaping from Xiao Yi, he arrived in a small town.
He laid out a plan in advance and used the whole town as a threat to get Xiao Yi to let him go.
At that time, Xiao Yi was still very innocent, so she let him go as promised for the sake of the lives of the whole town.
Later, they met again.
Still using the same method, this time Xiao Yi could only choose to save half of the people during the calamity repair.
Just when Xiao Yi was hesitating, Na Jie Xiu killed everyone in the town and walked away, saying that he wanted Xiao Yi to remember him forever.
Later, they met again.
Jie Xiu threatened the life of a small town and asked Xiao Yi to make a choice. At that time, I almost couldn't help but blow that bastard's head off.
This time..."
Chen Xiao paused and sighed:
"Xiaoyi killed everyone, including the robbery cultivator.
Then Xiao Yi was depressed for a long time, and she met an old woman who was sweeping the floor in the sect and told Xiao Yi this. "
Yu Xian: "..."
Damn it, he doesn’t even believe it if it’s not the script.
In order to cultivate Chen Yi's Taoist heart, he actually used the lives of a whole city of people as props.
It can only be said that they are worthy of being born in a demon sect. Even if they change their appearance, they cannot change their contempt for living creatures.
Compared with theirs, his little thoughts were no different from those of Xiaochun.
Chen Xiao thought Yu Xian was scared, so he stepped forward like a big brother, patted Yu Xian on the shoulder and said:
"You can't be frightened by such a trivial matter. I heard that those demon sects require millions of lives for a small blood sacrifice.
In their eyes, there is no difference between ordinary people and animals.
It is enough if we can let nature take its course and protect some people. "
Yu Xian breathed out a breath and smiled.
"The weak eat the strong, survival of the fittest, I understand."
…
That night.
The entire Shangyang City, inner city and outer city suddenly announced a curfew.
The whole city fell into a long-lost silence, and no one knew who the big shot was.
But a group of tax monks wearing black uniforms left the city overnight.
Zhang San is an old man in the Taxation Department. He has been a temporary worker for eight years but has not yet successfully become a regular employee. He can be regarded as a small legend in the Taxation Department.
Because the colleagues who entered the Taxation Department in the same batch as him either succeeded in becoming a regular and became a foundation-building monk, or failed in becoming a regular and left the Taxation Department sadly, or they did not even survive five years of temporary work.
After all, the job of the Taxation Department is really offending. Even if you have a background as big as the General Manager, it is still a high-risk profession.
Fortunately, the formal employees are the face of the tax department, and most of them come from aristocratic families with strong backgrounds. If one of them dies, they will face a city-wide manhunt.
In the end, some foundation-building monks will be picked out to pay for their lives.
After several foundation-building monks died, the safety of formal workers was basically guaranteed.
However, temporary workers are miserable.
All the anger can only be thrown at temporary workers, so the casualty rate of temporary workers is extremely high.
As long as the person who took action left no traces when he took action, the incident would usually go away.
After all, there are a lot of people waiting to be recruited into the Taxation Department as temporary workers, and even the clansmen and monks from the aristocratic families are all coming to work as temporary workers.
The Foundation Establishment Pill is really too tempting.
Although there is only one full-time quota per year, there are still meritorious deeds who have made great contributions and become full-time officials, so they do not have a formal quota.
In just a few years, the Taxation Department had issued ten foundation-building pills, two of which were for the merit exchange of regular workers, and eight of which were benefits for temporary workers to become regular workers.
A total of three foundation-building cultivators were created, and they were all casual cultivators who were temporary workers and became regular cultivators.
This miracle has given many casual cultivators great hope.
The tax department is so generous.
Zhang San, on the other hand, had been working in the industry for eight years, and his application for full-time employment was rejected time and time again. Seeing that he was nearly sixty years old, he already had the idea of giving it a try.
After all, those who have been successfully promoted to regular positions are all people with meritorious deeds.
Although he worked hard, he had very bad luck.
Several major tax cases have not been handled by him, and now he can be a team leader only because of his working years.
"Boss, what has our tax department done secretly?"
The team members on the side looked at the dark night, and it seemed that it was going to rain, and said with an unhappy look on their faces.
"Shut up!"
The promise given to him by Deputy Director Zhao still remains in Zhang San's mind.
Once the mission is completed, he will be promoted to a regular employee.
Become a regular employee!
He, who has always been a good man, could only think of these two words.
"Everyone is doing as they are told in this mission. Anyone who dares to make any mistakes is going against me and is blocking the way!"
He looked at each member of his men with red eyes and said:
"Only success is allowed, no failure is allowed!"
"Head, head, what are we going to do now?"
It was the first time a team member saw Zhang San so serious and fierce, and his voice trembled.
Zhang San glanced around and saw that the position was almost there. He turned over his hand and took out a stack of formation disks and formation flags, and threw them to his men.
"Set up the formation!"
ps: 520 singles, I wish you happiness. As for those who are not single, you are already happy enough, so I won’t bless you (the resentment of this single person).
