The years when I explored the fairyland

When Chu Zhou came, he chased the enemy for thousands of miles, at lightning speed.

But when he went back, he was much more relaxed, especially with the flying magic weapon Walnut Boat, he only needed to maintain the basic supply of mana.

When he really used it, he found that the magic weapon was indeed necessary and much more convenient than magic.

Saving mana was secondary. The most important thing was that when controlling it, you only needed to divide some spiritual consciousness, without having to concentrate as much as magic.

The sea of ​​clouds was misty, and you could see the moonlight like water and the stars shining...

Chu Zhou unconsciously emptied his mind, put down all the anxiety and urgency for a long time, and felt relaxed.

He took out a recliner from the storage ring, sat down, and took out a table, a stove, a teapot, cups, tea leaves...

He summoned the light water, lit the stove, boiled a pot of tea, and then Chu Zhou fell asleep on the recliner.

He opened his eyes to see the vast world, and let his thoughts fly like wild imaginations.

He thought of many trivial matters during this period, Tianquan County, the Qihuo Army, the encirclement and suppression battle, and the thousand-mile pursuit that followed...

It was not a very serious review, nor was there much consideration, but his thoughts flew around, letting the light flash in them.

He also thought of Hanba, the battle between the grandmasters, this martial arts world, and the immortal inheritance hidden in history.

Everything seemed to be hidden under the water, just waiting for him to dig.

He also thought of his martial arts, his immortal cultivation, how to train disciples, his junior brothers' cultivation, the advantages of Xuanzhen Temple's secret method, and its shortcomings.

Then, Chu Zhou had a clearer understanding of Xuanzhen Temple.

Xuanzhen Temple was established too short after all, with poor foundation, shallow connections, and people's hearts were not fully condensed.

Not to mention being comparable to the thousand-year-old sects like Bazong, even the Wanxiangzhai, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, is much worse.

However, isn't it stupid to compete with these martial arts sects on the traditional track?

Xuanzhen Temple is a sect of immortals, and martial arts is just an auxiliary. Therefore, it is best to form differentiated competition to better play its own advantages.

Therefore, for the disciples of Xuanzhen Temple, martial arts is to lay the foundation, practice meridians, and draw qi into the body. After having mana, you have to practice magic.

Even if you only master the "evil-breaking technique", it is really powerful in certain occasions!

Of course, if you have time, the "evil-breaking technique" still needs to be optimized and improved. The basic version is a bit weak, and it is necessary to upgrade it based on this.

Thinking about it, Chu Zhou closed his eyes.

Only snoring sounded on the small walnut boat, and the kettle on the red clay stove was steaming.

He fell asleep and the water was boiling!

...

When I woke up, the morning light broke, and the golden sunlight sprinkled above the sea of ​​clouds, dazzling.

Chu Zhou felt that he had slept so soundly and peacefully that he was full of energy and in great condition after waking up.

However, when he took out the compass, opened the map, and wanted to confirm where he was, his face looked bad.

Because he had gone off the track!

Maybe he had gone off the track a little bit at the beginning, but after flying all night, although he had returned to Chishui Prefecture, he had already rushed to the north of Botou County.

If he had found it one or two hours later, he estimated that he would have left Chishui Prefecture and arrived at the territory where the Ancient Temple Sect was located.

So, without the "GPS" positioning, this vast sea of ​​clouds might have flown tens of thousands of miles away.

Of course, this was just a small episode. After recalibrating the direction and setting off again, Chu Zhu was free and prepared to find something to do for himself.

For example, counting the spoils of war.

Not counting the drought demon, in that battle, let alone the spoils of war, he also lost a drop of one yuan of heavy water, which made him feel bad.

But apart from Hanba, starting from the lonely old monster, to the erhu old man, to Xie Daoyuan, to Tiangang Guanri Jianchi Xiaofeng, and then to the Golden Fox Zen Master...

Five martial arts masters died in his hands, and their bodies were also there, so of course there was something to gain.

For example, the heavy war drum contributed by the old monster Dugu is a magic weapon of good quality.

After Chu Zhou took it and studied it, he found that its specific forging material was unknown, and the effect of manipulating spirit beasts should also require secret techniques, and the greatest effect should be used on the battlefield.

Beating the drum to cheer can make the blood of the soldiers within the radiation range boil, boost morale, tirelessness, and high fighting spirit.

To put it bluntly, the effect of the "group amplification technique" in the magic is only embodied in the magic weapon, with a wider radiation range, less mana consumption, and more significant effect.

In other words, this magic weapon war drum is designed for the battlefield, and it is definitely a very rare type among magic weapons.

Because this thing is useless to immortal cultivators, and immortal cultivators cannot organize battles like mortal armies, but it can only be controlled by immortal cultivators.

In other words, this is used when immortal cultivators get involved in mortal battlefields.

But the problem is, if immortal cultivators don't care about their true face and go to mortal battlefields to kill people, what is the use of war drums?

After thinking about it, Chu Zhou didn't know what occasions this war drum is suitable for. However, it doesn't matter. It's still good to equip it for Tianquan Army.

When it is needed, find one or two inner disciples who have cultivated magic power to refine and use it, which can play a great role.

It is worth mentioning that Dugu Laoguai was not far from death. It is estimated that the old man Erhu asked him to come here for the last battle under certain conditions.

So, apart from this war drum magic weapon, there is nothing else.

Speaking of arrogance, it has to be the old man Erhu. Last time, he contributed a storage ring and put it on his hand.

With it, it is really convenient to go out.

And this time, there is no second storage ring, but the old man Erhu made a storage bag.

In terms of space area, convenience attributes, effects, etc., it is naturally far inferior to the storage ring, but you can't deny that it also has the ability to store things!

This low-level stuff has no master recognition function. Once the spiritual consciousness rushes, it will be directly refined. The things inside are poured out, but there are no magic weapons.

The most are medicinal materials, some of which are ordinary, some are precious, and the categories are very complete, and they are all in excellent condition.

In addition, there are some semi-finished medicinal materials, some of which are ground or configured, and two porcelain bottles.

After Chu Zhou opened it, he found that there were three red and white pills each, sealed with beeswax, and he couldn't tell whether they were good or bad.

Well, to be precise, he couldn't tell whether it was sealed or not. He had to go back and ask Taoist Qingjing to identify it.

However, Chu Zhou also had a psychological expectation. To put it bluntly, in the last battle, the old man Erhu not only lost an arm, but was also seriously injured.

These are probably used for healing.

Then there are the scattered things on the Golden Fox Zen Master. Chu Zhou's biggest gain is the silver bill.

I don't know what this half-demon monk is like. He actually likes to hide the silver bills on his body. They are also the silver bills issued by the largest bill number in the Dayun Dynasty - Ji's Bill Number.

Ji's Bill Number, just from the name, it is not difficult to find that this is a bill number opened by the royal family of the Ji family.

Not to mention that it is endorsed by the entire Dayun Dynasty, even if it has almost collected all the gold and silver in the world during its establishment for 300 years, there has been no case of not exchanging them.

Even if you are a cult, a demon, a heretic, or a murderer, as long as the silver note is correct, the silver will be given to you. It is absolutely honest and trustworthy.

Perhaps it is also for this reason that Jinhu Zen Master, the demon of Xuanyue Sect, actually took a lot of Ji's silver notes.

Of course, none of this is important. The important thing is that there are so many silver notes here, up to millions!

Yes, you read it right, millions of taels of silver, just in your arms, really put your arrogance on your face.

Then, it's a bargain for Chu Zhou!

Chu Zhou has forgiven them now. Let's not talk about other things. With this silver, the expansion and development of Xuanzhen Temple, and even the reconstruction of Yanshui City, are enough!

Unfortunately, except for the silver, the other things are not worth mentioning. The most important thing is that there are no martial arts secrets, let alone Buddhist scriptures.

And the only gain in this regard is the spoils provided by Tiangang Guanri Sword Chi Xiaofeng.

A secret book of sword skills, which is the "Tian Gang Piercing the Sun Sword" that Chi Xiaofeng is good at.

Chu Zhou flipped through it and got some understanding of this martial art. It must be said that this is a rare magic skill. Some people have cultivated it to the level of Grandmaster.

Not to mention the power of swordsmanship, its strongest point is that the attack distance is long enough. When you reach the level of Grandmaster, you can kill the enemy ten miles away.

It belongs to the standard of long-range attack. I can hit others, but others can't hit me. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's "cheating".

And there is only one successor in each generation. Only those who are born with strong tendons and veins can practice it. The reason is that the unique Tian Gang Qi is too fierce and overbearing. If you are not careful, you will break your body and die, which will take your life.

However, Chu Zhou really doesn't care about this swordsmanship. What really makes him care is that he also found a jade slip!

It is a jade ring, made into a pendant and hung on the body, which looks inconspicuous.

Only after Chu Zhou touched it did he realize that it was not a jade pendant at all, but a jade slip disguised as a jade pendant.

Chu Zhou's spiritual sense probed out and found that it contained a real flying sword technique, called "Sword Technique of Piercing the Sun".

There is no doubt that "Tian Gang Piercing the Sun Sword" evolved from this sword technique.

However, there is only a sword technique in this jade slip, but no Qi training method, so it can only be replaced by martial arts Gang Qi, which became the Tian Gang Piercing the Sun Sword Technique.

But if you really compare it, it is just one or two essences.

The real "Sword Technique of Piercing the Sun" focuses on speed, and it is fast. When it is fast to a certain extent, it is called Piercing the Sun Long Rainbow, which can greatly increase the attack distance and sword killing power.

If you practice it to the extreme, you can also explore the real sword magic, the sword Qi Leiyin technique.

To put it simply, the flying sword is so fast that it breaks the sound barrier. The sword often flies in front and the sound follows behind, just like thunder rolling in the sky. This is the sword energy thunder sound.

This magical power is certainly not a great magical power among sword cultivators, but it is the foundation of the great magical power of swordsmanship.

Chu Zhou couldn't take his eyes off it when he saw it. He couldn't help but comprehend it and spit out the flying sword "Qingyin" to try it out on the sea of ​​clouds.

As for the red-haired old man Xie Daoyuan?

Only his head was left, and Chu Zhou was quick enough to take it off. What a trophy.

The worst thing is that this old man is still unarmed. If he wants to use a weapon, Chu Zhou can get a good material.

...

It took a lot of time to chase the enemy when we came here; this time, even if we took a detour, it only took three days for Chu Zhou to rush to Yanshui City.

At this time, Yanshui City has become a huge construction site with countless craftsmen busy in it.

Whether it was cleaning up the ruins, adding bricks and tiles, moving stones, or digging the foundation, everyone was busy and having a lot of fun.

Chu Zhou glanced around and found that in addition to the craftsmen, more people were wearing prison uniforms. They were obviously beggars captured in the previous battle.

It is said that it did not take long, only more than twenty days, but the west wall of Yanshui City has been erected again.

The whole body of bluestone is piled higher, thicker, and stronger. Cannons and ballistae can be vaguely seen on it. It is obvious that they have been redesigned and enough space has been reserved.

Outside the city, there is a large army stationed. The military camp stretches for several miles, and the flags flying on it all have the word "Tianquan".

Chu Zhou's arrival caused quite a commotion.

After all, the walnut flying boat is standing in the air, with a faint brilliance surrounding it, so it shouldn't be too conspicuous.

The military camp outside the city immediately went on alert, and many Xuan Zhen Guan disciples showed their hegemonic form and rushed out with various heavy weapons.

However, when they saw Walnut Zhou shrinking and Chu Zhou appearing, they immediately relaxed.

Then, two people performed Qing Kung and came through the air at extremely fast speeds!

It was Zuo Qiutong, the master of Husha Pavilion, and Fan Zhong, the chief steward of Xuanzhenguan. When they approached, they both looked happy.

Fan Zhong was the first to speak: "I have met the temple master. Temple master, you are back!"

Chu Zhou was slightly surprised and asked, "What big thing happened?"

"There are no big things, but there are a lot of trivial matters, some of which require the viewer to make decisions."

After a pause, Fan Zhong added: "The main reason is that the temple master is alone outside, and we are really worried."

Zuo Qiutong also asked: "Master, did Zen Master Jinhu die?"

"Dead, including Tiangang Guanri Sword Chi Xiaofeng, also died in my hands."

After a pause in his tone, Chu Zhou did not mention the Tianyuan Mansion battlefield, but said: "You can release the news now, just say that in this battle, as many as five martial arts masters from the Beggar Army died in my hands.

With this record, it is estimated that some people with ulterior motives will be able to weigh the weight of Xuan Zhen Guan more. "

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right now."

Chu Zhou looked at the army outside the city and asked: "The Tianquan army hasn't evacuated yet. Are they going to watch the prisoners who are working as beggars?"

And Xu Cheng, Yi Huai and others, have they all learned Xuan Zhen Guan? "

"That's not true!"

"no?"

Chu Zhou had to admit that he had just asked casually without really thinking about it. However, seeing the embarrassment on Zuo Qiutong's face, he had some hindsight.

He asked: "Exactly what the situation is, please tell me clearly."

Comrade Zuoqiu said: "Master Guanzhao, I can't explain this matter in just a few words. How about we go to the military camp and talk about it in detail?"

"good!"

Chu Zhou was confident, so he responded and flew down, with the two of them following closely behind.

…

The camp outside the city,

Within the camp.

After listening to the reports from Fan Zhong and Zuo Qiutong, Chu Zhou had a rough idea of ​​what the current situation in Tianquan County was like.

Just because the war is over doesn't mean everything will be fine. In fact, the aftermath is more complicated and important.

For example, the reconstruction of Yanshui City, the relocation of the population on the three lines of defense, and the spring plowing that is about to miss the farming season.

Another example is the comfort work in various places in Tianquan County, the distribution of supplies, etc...

Although Hao Songqing was in the middle and others were cooperating, some things must be done by people with sufficient status.

From this, Xu Cheng returned to Xuanzhenguan and took charge; while Fan Tiehu was running around Tianquan County to deal with those dishonest people; Wei Fangjie was all around, receiving people, treating people, and discussing arrangements with people.

As for Yi Huai, he led his troops outside to pursue the remnants.

The four senior brothers each have their own affairs and are very busy.

As for Zuo Qiutong's embarrassing matter and the garrison in Yanshui City, it is because the beggar army has not been wiped out yet.

In fact, not only was it not eliminated, but the Weeping King Ran Yongzeng grew stronger again after escaping.

Speaking of this, we have to blame the disunity between Tiancang Sect, Caobang and Ice Rhinoceros Sect.

Ran Yongzeng is also a talent. After escaping from the battlefield, he gathered the old beggar army troops and started a mobile war at the junction of Botou, Dongli and Hongde counties.

Before Chu Zhou left, the four sect leaders met and had a discussion. Each of them sent their masters and elite troops to encircle and suppress the Wailing King.

There was nothing wrong with this matter. In fact, the four families brought out elites, but no one expected that the Lamenting King would be so difficult to deal with.

The four families did not belong to each other, and there was no unified coordination. They encircled and suppressed them and failed repeatedly.

Ran Yongzeng's routine operation was that after the Cao Gang gathered experts and troops, he would rush into the territory of Tiancangmen, and only wait for the Cao Gang experts to be afraid, and then he could calmly retreat.

The masters of Tiancang Sect gathered together and started to encircle and suppress him, and he went to Hongde County to wreak havoc. He was worried about the face of Bingxi Sect, so Tiancang Sect had no choice but to give up.

When the masters of the Ice Rhinoceros Sect arrived, he fled to the Caobang area and killed and looted wantonly. He was really unscrupulous.

The tactics are the above. Of course, when it comes to detailed operations, they are more flexible. No one knows where they will go next.

As for the Tianquan Army led by Yi Huai, although they had won the trust of the three parties, Ran Yongzeng did not want to meet with the Tianquan Army at all. Yi Huai was so angry that he screamed and had no choice.

Relying on this kind of mobile warfare, the beggar army not only was not eliminated, but even grew stronger at the junction of these three counties.

Of course, you want to say that the three families are so honest and do not send martial arts masters to interfere?

That is impossible!

The so-called Grandmasters do not get involved in the battlefield of mortals, and there must be clear evidence. In the case of inequality, who cares if they secretly take action? !

But I don’t know what method Ran Yongzeng used to persuade the masters of the Demon Palace to come forward.

Let’s not talk about the green fairy Xiang Wenjun. There is an old servant next to him, who is also a martial arts Grandmaster.

With these two Grandmasters in charge, the three masters dare not really fight, and they really can’t do anything to this beggar army.

After Chu Zhou understood the situation, he also sighed, this is really a talent!
