Daozu is Cthulhu

Chapter 214 Jiujiang Mansion

You won, even though you don't know what the hell you are, even though you lost eleven golden elixirs, four nascent souls, and folded two flying swords, you still won.

There is no meaning of yin and yang, but this time it is indeed Li Fan who lost. Not only was he forced to use a lot of killer moves and details, but he was also forced to abandon the hostages.It also made Luo Feng Xiangong miss the opportunity to use the whole princess as a pawn to provoke internal fighting between the two parties of Xun Kingdom behind the scenes.Moreover, it also added a glaring stain to Beichen Jianzong's perfect kidnapping resume.

Shame!
Okay, this wave of vengeance is getting bigger, if you don't take this vengeance, you will not be a human being!

Really, now Li Fan's hatred for this ghost is higher than that of Nangong's family, can you believe it...

But hate turns to hate, and he said he was unhappy, Li Fan's body was still very honest, and when the army of the Xun Kingdom approached, he had already fled along the veins of the earth, and escaped for an unknown distance.

He escaped all the way, far away from Xingye City, only to find an underground spiritual energy hole, and use "Jade Pure Jade Quality Immaculate Escape" to hide the breath while healing and repairing. external and internal injuries.

This is indeed the magical skill of the Taoist sect Qingcheng Mountain, and it does have a miraculous effect. After performing it, Li Fan's whole body gradually changed color, turning into a jade carving buried deep in the earth and rocks, and all the bones, muscles and organs of his body were returning Under the infiltration of dust and true energy, it turned into a green and white jade mixed with icy mutton fat and jade.The wounds on the body, those small hidden dangers, the damage of the meridians and the cracks of the bones are all revealed at this time, and become the obvious cracks and spots on the jade block, which can be directly and targeted, and absorb the surrounding The true energy of return to dust, efficient healing and recovery.

While recuperating from his injuries, Li Fan was also distracted by his inner vision. In his mind, he used his photographic memory to start reviewing and summarizing the previous battles.Repeatedly, imitate, push to the cultivation base of those dead men, think about where there are omissions in my response, where there are flaws, and where there can be better improvements.

First of all, among these three groups of people, the one who poses the greatest threat to Li Fan is actually the first wave of self-detonation golden pills, not only self-destruction, but also the Chimai Boy Sword. The damage was done by him alone.

In contrast, the other three people in the first wave were quick to move in seconds. Thinking about it now, they might have sacrificed themselves to create opportunities for the golden core to enlarge the reading.This wave was indeed Li Fan's carelessness. He wanted to catch a few live torturers, so he only beat them to death instead of killing them. In the end, he almost got killed.

The second batch of seven envoys to the Beichen Sword Sect's sword formation, although they were all slaughtered with one move, they were not weak at all. The seven surrounded and killed a real Nascent Soul, without any hesitation in their attack, they all sacrificed their lives and killed with a single blow. , Obviously also a dead man who puts life and death above everything else.From this point of view, they are a group of experienced people, and they must be dead if they are replaced by ordinary Immortal Palace fake Nascent Souls.The ferocity and sophistication of the eleven Golden Core monks left a deep impression on Li Fan.Obviously they are the kind of killers who are born to die, definitely an elite combination of experienced and sophisticated.If it weren't for Li Fan's level of strength, and he happened to know the way to break the formation, it would not be so easy to deal with.

As for the third batch of four Nascent Soul cultivators, they didn't have many chances to reveal their true strength.After all, he also beheaded with a flying sword when he came up, and then he fought with Li Fan in close combat. Both sides showed their abilities and went all out.There is no chance to read the practice at all.So at first glance, it seems like that's all.

However, through afterthoughts and side-by-side comparisons, Li Fan can also see that the strength of these four people is not in vain.Of course, it is not the comparison with the Jindan realm, but the comparison with the five Xun Kingdom Nascent Soul monks he killed in Xingye City.To put it bluntly, the conclusion is that the level is too strong.

The level of the three generals and the two Confucian scholars in the Xun Kingdom should be said to completely represent the general sense of the Immortal Palace Nascent Soul cultivator.Just like that, you say he is a Nascent Soul, he is indeed, but it is just 'a Nascent Soul', that's all.

Those people said something ugly, Li Fan only used Puhua swordsmanship, and he could clean it up with one hand, and the big compass could be knocked down with a single finger.If I have to make a metaphor, they are like a crumbling building, an empty frame made of paper, looking at the flowers, but the foundation is empty, and it will fall apart when the wind is stronger.Li Fan can frighten them half to death with some false moves, and once he makes a real move, he will be beaten to death immediately.

But those four people just now are different. These people are real cultivators, and their Nascent Soul Dao Body is not a fancy cardboard, but refined steel that has been tempered for thousands of years.Although they look similar at first glance, they are actually quite different.When fighting with them, Li Fan was serious when he came up, and rushed to kill with every move.His Big Compass Sky Finger. Wind and Rain II style even hit the four opponents dozens of times.The effect is not great, can you believe it? ?
Although the wind and rain style is less powerful than the Yang style, and Li Fan has not exerted his full skill.But you must know that the fingering skill ignores the defense of the skin and directly injures the meridians and internal organs.Even if he can't be killed with one blow, or seriously injured, it's okay to press an acupuncture point, right?Changed Xun Kingdom's trash Nascent Soul, after poking so many times, he was paralyzed as a mermaid.But these people are forced to stand down. This is the embodiment of solid basic skills and profound Taoism.

Although the acupoints were tapped to seal the qi for a while, they can still use other meridians to move qi, avoid the vital points, and compete with Li Fan with internal injuries, not to mention that three of them have already broken the flying sword , the state of Yuanshen's re-transmission, actually has been resisting the onslaught of Li Fan's sword fingers, and it didn't collapse until he backstabbed with the flying sword.This level is definitely possible.

And such a person is just a dead soldier who is used by assassins and consumables on the spot.

There is no doubt that these elites are definitely not something that a vassal king like Lord Xun can control.And it is definitely not the legacy of Beichen Sword Sect, just like Li Fan was not born in Qingcheng Mountain or Epiphyllum Island, after all, who is a serious person outside using his own skills to harm people, right?

It is certain that these people have to be cultivated by the top sect forces at the level of the three major sects.

On the other hand, if you think about it carefully, just because the opponent was able to grab the true biography of the Chimai Boy Sword and Tiangang Sword Formation after the Beichen Sword Sect was destroyed, you can guess one or two.At least it is one of the best factions in the Central Plains, and it is definitely the front line of the three major factions in charge of the chess game.

And the guy who dispatched soldiers behind the scenes, strategized, and lingered, was probably the cadre at the core of that kind of power.

Is this the struggle of the Central Plains series?

Alas, what Xuantian Sword Intent said is right, Black Bamboo Mountain is indeed a rural place, San~~Xiu!So I can only fall in love with some evildoers, make a fuss...

Li Fan opened his eyes and confirmed that the injuries on his body were completely repaired.

Although "Jade Quality Immaculate Escaping Body" is slower than quickly repairing the Dao body with evil spirits, the victory is that it can completely eradicate hidden dangers and further refine the Dao body.

Li Fan also found that after using this method to reshape the quintessential Tao body, the condensation efficiency of Guichen Zhenqi and Yuqing Zhenyuan has also been greatly improved.It seems that this technique is similar to that of the Saibee. Every time he is beaten half to death, his fighting power will double when he stands up. It is quite in line with Li Fan's fighting style of fighting to death as long as he can't die!
Of course, the magical skill of flawless jade quality still has shortcomings.The main disadvantage is that Li Fan doesn't refine Yuqing Yuanying!

When he took a closer look, he found that the Wuji essence in his inner scene had been consumed a lot!

The Guichen True Qi in the Earth Vein Spirit Point alone was not enough, the Wuji True Qi he had accumulated with great difficulty was also reversely refined into Yuqing True Qi, which was used to repair the Dao body!
It’s not worth it, it’s not worth it, it’s easy to return to the virtual essence, and it will be full if you take two mouthfuls of worshiping the moon, but the accumulation of Wuji’s true essence is so slow!

No wonder not many people practice dual infants.After all, Dao breath is the transformation of all phases, one increase and one loss, it is equivalent to no practice, and sometimes there are conflicts in the movement of qi and pulse, which increases the risk of paralysis, so it is better to specialize in one.

Now Li Fan really hesitated, the progress of Wuji Yuanying was really too slow, but Qingcheng Mountain's practice can heal the wound, and the effect is really good.Why don't you just wash up and practice Yuqing Yuanying again?But among the exercises passed down by the immortal in Mount Qingcheng, he who is serious about cultivating Yuanying has not yet comprehended it carefully.The Promise True Yuan has also been practiced safely and steadily for so long, and it has been a safe one, so it's a pity to wash it like this.

Alas, I don't know when Qin Meimei can come to double cultivation, let's make progress together...

Li Fan thought of Qin Nanxin, Shuangxiu, the princess who was forced to throw away, BCCD, and the special products of Quanke Island. The method of multi-character double cultivation, stick to the heart of the Tao, and then use the method of blind observation to confirm safety, and then break out of the ground directly.

It's daytime now, the lingering guy probably can't come out to make trouble, but God knows how many self-explosive dead men are available to deal with, and maybe he has already been targeted by that guy. If Li Fan can't go there for the time being, he might as well go to Jiujiang Mansion to grab the heavenly book.

The only good clothes I had before were to go to the Immortal Clothes Pavilion for fooling around, but now they are also blown to pieces. The uniforms of Mozhushan disciples, the Taoist robes of Luo Jiao and Guixu cannot be worn, and Li Fan has no choice but to wear hemp clothes and straw sandals , ripped to pieces, rubbed some ashes on his face, with disheveled hair, pretended to be an old beggar, and went straight to Jiujiang Mansion.

Starting from Xingye City, along the Li River and going east along the river, you can arrive at Jiujiang Mansion.This is Xun State, Zhen State, and Sizhou, which is directly under the jurisdiction of Sanyuan, which is the Central Plains in a narrow sense, where the three parties meet.

In addition to natural rivers and tributaries such as the Lijiang River, there are many artificial canals dug in the past for various reasons such as grain transportation, commerce, irrigation, city defense, and river control. This fertile plain divided by dense river networks is also known as It is called Jiujiang Plain.

To the west of this plain is the Jiujiang Mansion of Xunzhou, across the water to the east is the Jiangling Mansion of Zhenzhou, and to the north, there are many fiefdoms of the lineage kingdoms of the immortals who were placed in the south, and now they are directly under the jurisdiction of Sanyuan. At the boundary of the state, Nansu Qiwei and Jingsuwei, who guard the portal of the Central Plains, are also stationed here.

The Jiujiang Plain has an excellent geographical location, which is very suitable for farming. The situation of Zhen Xun and Xun is stable. They are allies who have married and formed a close vassal state loyal to Xiangong. The situation is stable and there are few wars. The dense river network is also suitable for trade among the three countries. , so the population is extremely large, and the villages are densely populated, and large villages and towns with tens of thousands to 10 people can be seen everywhere.Compared with the lonely scene in Liguo, where few ghosts can be seen in the valleys, it is really far away.

However, no matter how good the relationship is, the more people there are, the more complicated the place will be. This is equivalent to the gateway of the Three Kingdoms, the gateway for direct contact between the Southern Kingdom and the Central Plains. They are all transported through the canal of Jiujiang to the granary and treasury of Sanyuan, which can be said to be the main artery of Xiangong.

Therefore, all parties agreed to station heavy troops here.This time, the three armies of the Immortal Palace's crusade against the Kun Kingdom, Leibu, Xun Kingdom, and Zhen Kingdom, as well as countless food, fodder and soldiers, also passed through the Jiujiang Canal, traveled northward by boat and car, and arrived at Sanyuan all the way.

The cultivators who are currently stationed in Jiujiang Mansion are the leaders of the four great clans of the Xun Kingdom, the Marquis of Jiujiang County, General Pingdong, the Prime Minister of the Xun Kingdom, and Lu Yi, the head of the Lu family.

This person's status in the Xun Kingdom is equivalent to a collection of the Li Kingdom's national teachers and imperial censors. The head of the Lu family is not only the head of the Xun Kingdom's civil and military officials, but also the members of the four major gentry clans.

He is indeed capable. It is said that when he was young, he cooperated with Wen Tianjun, the Zhengdong general who commanded Leibu, and led the allied forces of Xiangong and Xun Kingdom to sweep Baiyue Mountain. They were almost invincible.Until Lord Xun said to put down that head!let me do it!He was transferred to the north to guard Jiujiang, which gave Luo Feng Xiangong a little respite. Of course, Jiujiang is also very important, cough cough!
Anyway, Patriarch Lu didn't move this time, he still stayed in the north to guard against the monsters and ghosts from the Central Plains from fleeing into Xun Kingdom.But most of his generals and trilogy elite soldiers, those Xun Kingdom's elite soldiers, joined the Shenjiao Crusade Army and followed Wen Tianjun to the west.

Li Fan had to look at the villages and towns one by one, and made a little calculation in his heart. There should be 300 to [-] million people on the side of Jiujiang Prefecture in Xun Kingdom. The entire Jiujiang, Jiangling, and Sizhou Jingsuwei The triangular plain has a population of tens of millions.Moreover, Li Fan also discovered that the local villages and towns have a very complete and systematic talent training system.

Every village and every town has a school run by the sage clan and the gentlemen invited from the academies to teach Confucianism.The children of powerful families and poor families can all receive education in the academy.The common people and the untouchables also have the opportunity to be selected as private soldiers.There is one thing to say, Asgard also has upward channels, and the system itself is not good or bad. If it conforms to the development of productivity, it will be stable, and if it does not conform, it will collapse.

Besides the system of Immortal Palace, there are many casual cultivators from the north. After all, the world of comprehension is really cruel, bloody and terrifying. They will wipe out their families and sects at every turn, behead their heads and drink, and transform evil fetuses. , there are always people who can't get along, and there are always people who want to live a stable life for two days.

Xun Country is not as flattering as Li Country, no matter Mozhushan or Nangong's family, they can't wait to play the signboard of 'Master, come to open up wasteland'.Of course, Xun Kingdom does not prohibit other monks from preaching.After all, these days when the moon is empty, even toads in the water, voles in the ground and corals in the sea can worship the moon, so how can you control it?What's more, it can also check and balance the local academies, why not do it?

Therefore, the purpose of Xun Kingdom is to let these casual cultivators fix themselves.As long as you don't risk your life to mess with the three major parties, let alone hook up with Luofeng Demon Palace, then the government won't bother to care which mountain or which cave you proclaim your divine presence.If there are really outstanding talents, the aristocratic family and the imperial court will be happy to recruit them as enshrinements, and bring them into the system with an official background.

Therefore, these foreign casual cultivators usually attach themselves to the local family and become the local family's worship, while the strong ones choose a place to open an altar to preach, build their own dojo, collect offerings from local wealthy people, foreign businessmen, and select disciples Develop your own orthodoxy.It can also be regarded as providing a road outside the Asgard system.

Iron Buddha Temple is such a sect of self-cultivation. Strictly speaking, it is the fourth path besides the three major sects, the orthodoxy of the Shi family.

The Shi family came from the west before, but almost all the countries in the west were wiped out by the gods, and the other side of Kunlun is the territory of the gods, so the origin of this orthodox tradition can no longer be investigated. Most of the casual cultivation methods, and even most of the three major schools of cultivation methods are safe and not too weak. It is said that they can also cultivate to the realm of transforming gods, so they have become very popular in the Central Plains recently.Especially in Zhenguo, it is said that there are tens of thousands of monks’ houses and thousands of temples. Even the king of Zhenguo, the well-known head of the Xiao family in Lanling, is practicing latent cultivation. He is the Bodhisattva King who protects the Dharma, and he has received strong support and win over from Zhen Guo. In order to join the Xiao family, the casual cultivator has a lot of people who heard about it.

The Tiefo Temple seems to be a certain faction within the Shi family, from the state of Zhen to the lower court of the state of Xun.Because of the marriage alliance between the two countries, the development of the Shi family in Xun was relatively smooth.It can also be regarded as a Sanxiu sect trusted by the clan of the Xun Kingdom. The Iron Buddha Temple is located in Jiujiang City, not far from the Jianchang Hou Mansion, which is the representative of the clan.

Li Fan grabbed the soil and squeezed it into a broken bowl with Gui Chen's true energy, and put Sinan in it, wandering around, like an old beggar, followed the opportunity into the city, found the Jianchang Hou's mansion all the way, and then looked up. Seeing the black flag and white banner at the gate of Hou's mansion, the whole mansion inside and outside is wearing sackcloth and mourning mourning.My heart skipped a beat.

Coincidentally, he didn't do anything yet, and Marquis Jianchang passed away.
