The Rise of the Shen Family

Binhu Town is about 700 miles away from Yunbi Peak, and it takes a few hours for the base-building cultivator to travel, while Shen Ruiling and the others have to walk for about a day.

Most of the way is plain, and the few mountains that pass by are like small mounds. When passing by some places with spiritual power, Shen Ruiling and his party are also very careful, although there are generally no third-order monsters here. , but generally entrenched some second-order monsters.

The family left these second-order monsters after consideration. First, when the monsters there are about to become popular, they can send family children to hunt and kill them, and use them as tasks to sharpen their clan members and collect materials.

Second, these monsters scattered around Yunbi Peak also serve as warnings. When someone attacks the clan's land, they can also cause them some trouble, making it difficult for them to directly attack Yunbi Peak.

Therefore, as long as the rank of these spiritual veins is not too high, or there is cultivation resource output, the family will generally not eliminate them.

Although Shen Ruiling and his party were careful to avoid some spiritual places, there were always monsters with short eyes that came out to make trouble. Under the siege of the three cultivators in the late stage of Qi training, they all turned into corpses and loaded them into bullock carts. Transported to Binhu Town.

...

At the same time, a monk on the third floor of Qi practice ran into a mansion in a panic and shouted:

"Master guard, the water of Zhenze Lake has begun to rise, overflowing the lake embankment, and it is almost at the foot of the city wall."

With this shout, an old man entered the lobby from the backyard. This person was Shen Huantong, the guard of Binhu Town, a monk who practiced Qi on the fifth floor.

At the age of Shen Huantong, he was already in his seventies, and he was still in the middle stage of Qi training.

Such clansmen are generally qualified with five spiritual roots, and they will not be outstanding in cultivation. The family will send them to go to various family industries, or to become a rich family among mortals, guarding mortal villages and towns for the family.

In the final analysis, the Lingnan area can only be regarded as a barbarian land. It is blocked by the Hengduan Mountains, and its cultivation culture is far worse than that of the Central Plains.

This land has only been developed for thousands of years, and the spiritual energy is also thin. There is no fifth-order spiritual vein, and high-level monks can't look at it.

Despite thousands of years of development, the population density is quite low. The survival of mortals is not to find a place with mountains, water, and fertile land to thrive.

Mortals not only have to face various natural disasters, flash floods, floods and the like. In the face of the might of heaven and earth, cultivators are very insignificant, let alone mortals.

It is also necessary to accept man-made disasters, and a random battle between monks can destroy a village. Although Qingyunmen and Wujizong are both sects of the right way, it is clearly forbidden for cultivators to kill mortals, but in the fighting method, they can't care so much.

What's more, there are evil things such as evil cultivators and ghosts, and they will kill a large number of mortals and cultivate with mortal flesh and blood.

Even beasts that gradually open their spiritual wisdom and begin to breathe and cultivate because they have been exposed to aura all year round are disasters for mortals. Although these monsters may only be of the first class, they are not something that ordinary mortals can hunt and kill. mortal for food.

Therefore, mortals can only thrive under the protection of one by one comprehension forces.

Take the four mortal towns of the Shen family, except Binhu Town, all of them are within 500 miles of Yunbi Peak. They can't be too close because they are afraid that mortals will disturb the cultivation of the monks.

Not only that, each town is not only protected by a magic circle, but also has family cultivators who have lost confidence in their cultivation along the way to guard and protect the stability of one party.

Because Binhu Town is far from Yunbi Peak, there is not only one monk in the middle stage of Qi training, but also several monks in the early stage of Qi training.

The old man called the monk who sent the letter,

"Tell me carefully."

The third-floor monk said:

"It has been raining heavily this month, and the water in Zhenze Lake has overflowed the lake embankment.

It has already traveled for dozens of miles, and it will soon rise to the foot of the city wall. "

"Did you send someone to block the river that leads into the lake in the city?" the old man asked.

"I had it all filled before the rainy season."

"If the water rises again, the monsters will start to make trouble. Master, please make up your mind."

"Let Captain Wang lead the young mortals in the city to build fortifications on the city wall, and prepare those trebuchets and strong crossbows. The monks from the family should be arriving soon, open the protective formation, and prepare." The old man began to issue one by one. Order.

He has been here for nearly 20 years as a guard. Every year in the rainy season, there will be monsters and beasts. The usual practice is to cooperate with the monks sent by the family to guard the magic circle. After a few months, the water will recede, and the monsters will also retreat.

These monsters in the water generally lose their strength when they leave the water, so they will only attack Binhu Town while the water in Zhenze Lake is rising. Under normal circumstances, they will not go ashore, but only when mortals go to the lake to fish. You will be attacked by monsters, but the chances are not high, as long as you don't go to the center of the lake.

...

On the other side, after Shen Ruiling and his party climbed over a hill, they finally saw a large lake when the sun was about to set.

This is Zhenze Lake. The lake is thousands of miles wide. Standing on one side, you can't see the other side. It will take a day for a base-building monk to cross.

Zhenze Lake is located between Linhai County and Hepingzhou County. The end of Linhai County is called Beihu, and the end of Pingzhou County is called Nanhu. The North Lake is rich in spiritual power, and the products in the lake are also rich, which is more suitable for the life of monsters.

The Shen family's territory just occupied the northern corner, a small lake bay. The soil here is fertile and the water network is dense, suitable for mortals to reproduce.

There is a miniature spiritual vein on the mountain beside the lake. The family established a village and town here, and stationed the monks in the middle stage of Qi training. It is also a stronghold for the family to better develop the resources in the lake.

Shen Ruiling looked at the sparkling lake under the setting sun, and could see several big fish jumping out of the water, and several small islands in the lake were particularly eye-catching.

After walking for a while, Shen Ruiling saw a town. The city wall was more than ten feet high, and the city wall was also full of people. All kinds of large machines were also on the city wall, and it looked like a battle was imminent.

Because the south gate was already flooded, Shen Ruiling and his party entered the city from the north gate. Shen Ruiling saw that the bricks and stones on the city wall were not ordinary things, but first-order spiritual things. These first-order spiritual bricks are accumulated together, and the built city wall is much stronger than the ordinary city wall, and it is even stronger with the magic circle.

"It seems that the family still takes a fancy to this place." Shen Ruiling thought to himself.

Zhou Qiao also praised after seeing it:

"Your Shen family is really rich and powerful. A mortal village and town is a city wall built with spiritual bricks."

Shen Huanming looked at the two and explained:

"The family here has made great efforts to develop, and it is prepared to be used as a frontier base in the south of Yunbi Peak, and it can also better develop Zhenze Lake."

Shen Ruiling and Zhou Qiao looked at each other, they had stayed in the family for so long and they didn't know.

Shen Ruiling saw that although the outside of the city was flooded, the streets in the city were still very prosperous, and the mortals of the family were walking on the streets.

With the entry of Shen Ruiling and his party, it also caused some sensation in this small town.

An old man in the distance rushed over with several followers, who was guarding Shen Huantong. Coming to the front of the group, Zuo said loudly:

"Binhu Town guards Shen Huantong, and sees all the fellow Daoists from the main clan."

Shen Huanming helped the old man, UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"It's all a family, you're welcome at Seventeen."

Shen Ruiling looked at the old man. Although he was the 17th elder in the Huan generation, Shen Ruiling was not familiar with it, so he didn't know what to call it for a while.

"Everyone has been on the road for a day, follow me to the guard house to rest." Shen Huantong said respectfully.

On weekdays, he was the emperor of the earth, but when Shen Ruiling and his party came, Shen Huantong became respectful and flattered. After all, he had returned to the mortal world and was no longer staying on Yunbi Peak.

Led by Shen Huantong, the group came to the guardian mansion, a mansion built on a second-order spiritual vein.

"Everyone please!"

After everyone entered the mansion, they felt that the spiritual energy inside was much richer than the outside.

"Follow me to the backyard wing, everyone."

"OK."

"You guys took the iron-backed bulls to the cowshed, and the cloud-piercing crossbow to the backyard." Shen Huanming commanded.

Shen Ruiling and the three walked through the main hall to the backyard.

"Three fellow Daoists, this is the place with the most spiritual energy in Binhu Town, and the eyes of the Great Defense Array are also here." Shen Huantong explained.

"Fellow Daoist has been troubled." Shen Ruiling and the three said.

"You can allocate the rooms in the backyard yourself. I'll call you when I'm ready for the reception." Shen Huantong said.

"The flood is imminent, so let's avoid it."

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way. From my experience, the monsters won't attack in the past few days, and the water level is not enough." Shen Huan said with a vow.

"Then there will be fellow Daoist Lao." Shen Huanming said.

"It should be, it should be." After saying that, the old man smiled and left.

"Let's find a room to clean up for a while." Shen Huanming said while looking at the two of them.
