Chapter 174 Reflection of the Yin World, Peak of Spiritual Tide

Cangbei County is an inconspicuous border county in the northern border of Daxu, but due to the military conflict with the Kingdom of Jin, this place name will occasionally appear on the mansion newspaper.

This is also the best understanding of Cangbei County by Neizhou scholars, well, it is limited to place names.

However, in the other counties of Dingzhou, especially for the people of Bei'an County, which is only separated by a mountain, the information of Cangbei County is not only well-known, but most of the gentry elites also know a lot.

There are five counties in one county, the land is vast but less developed, and the people in the county live by combining farming and nomadic pastoralism.

Without Cangshan to block the white hair wind, the climate is much colder than Bei'an, and many people's living habits are closer to Jin people.

Except for the county town, which has more than [-] residents, the other five counties are all lower counties with a population of just over [-].

Moreover, in the turmoil of recent years, the population has decreased sharply, and there may not be a single county that can reach the standard of a lower county. This is also the essential reason why the imperial court lost control of Cangbei County.

In the 46th year of Xiangxing, the once-in-a-century white-haired disaster swept across the grasslands, the snow and the wind ravaged the food, and starved thousands of miles away.

The army of the Kingdom of Jin was forced to go south, and the originally very strong frontier defense line was easily breached.

The heavy snow blocked the roads and blocked the court's supplies, which caused the frontier troops to lack food and clothing and were unable to fight. This was of course the direct cause.

However, Cangbei County behind the frontier army is underpopulated, its logistical capabilities cannot keep up, and its inability to be self-sufficient is the root cause.

You must know that when Daxu's national power was at its peak, Cangbei County had just been established, and more than one million people had been relocated, and countless fertile fields could produce enough food.

However, in the past few decades, the legacy has been gradually exhausted, good fields have been turned into pastures, and the population has been greatly reduced. Naturally, it is no longer possible to rely on the power of a county to support the existence of the frontier army.

In the past, the role of the frontier army was not to defend, but to constantly expand the border territory and strive for living space for the central dynasty.

Linyuan County, the northernmost county in Cangbei County, is the dividing point between nomadic and farming civilizations.

To the north is all grassland, while to the south you can still see scattered abandoned cultivated land, and the remaining wheat straw under the ice and snow shows that it has not been long since the complete abandonment of this place.

The world was gloomy, cold and desolate, and the whistling white-haired wind froze all life.

In the wilderness, all that can be seen is a solitary ghost city, where ghosts gather, wreaking havoc in this vast world.

It's strange to say that it's obviously a yang world, but this place is full of yin, like ghosts.

The heavy snow has stopped for a long time, and there is still no sunlight in the sky, as if blocked by some mysterious force.

A few miles further north, a group of armored cavalry surrounded several black-robed shamans, looking at the ghost town from afar.

The faint sunlight shone on them through the cloudy clouds, and it seemed like another world ahead, only darkness without a ray of sunshine.

Their expressions were uncertain, some were full of anger, some were terrified, and some were full of joy...

When the shamans spoke, all the cavalry spread out automatically. They formed a circle and stood in a position where they could not hear the sound.

These cavalry are well-equipped, physically strong, and decisive and experienced in their actions, as if they are all elites of the Golden Army.

It's just that in front of the shaman with extraordinary power, they can only act as human shields, serving with caution in words and deeds.

Among the shamans who are big figures, they are naturally divided into levels. For a long period of time, the King Jin family has mastered quite powerful shaman power.

Therefore, within the Kingdom of Jin, there is great emphasis on superiority and inferiority, and the distinction between ranks is also very simple and straightforward.

Shamans in pure black robes are first-level monks, black robes with silver trim on the cuffs and collars are second-level monks, and gold-rimmed shamans are third-level monks.

As for going up, Yangshen Realm, there must be old feudal kingdoms with a long history, but such existences will no longer be bound by robes and clothes.

A black-robed shaman respectfully inquired about the silver-edged shaman in the middle: "Shaman Qiyan, do you want to go in and investigate the situation? The two thousand households that were trapped inside are the sons of the Anyuanhou family who are protecting them. I’m afraid I’ll have to give an explanation later.”

Qi Yan frowned, looking at the eerie and gloomy area of ​​Cangbei County, she remained silent for a long time.

At this time, another black-robed shaman saw this, and could only remind him in a low voice: "My lord, Marquis Anyuan is a confidant of the king, and I heard that he has a relationship with a shaman in Phnom Penh. We'd better not offend him."

"No, if we go in now, we will die. The ghost king doesn't care whether we are Jin people or Daxu people. The flesh and blood of a monk soaked in spiritual energy is a great tonic to him."

"Marquis Anyuan, let me tell you. I'm not the eldest son. Besides, the lord has treated us a lot recently. The north side can pay back..." Qi Yan didn't speak clearly, but the subordinates still didn't understand.

Since the leaders are willing to take responsibility, as shamans, they don't need to worry too much.

There is no need to go in and take risks, and the shamans are also interested in making comments.

"How many years have passed, and the ghost king reappeared in Yangshi, and it's still in the territory of the Central Dynasty, which is unbelievable."

"Ghost king, the worst thing you can do to become king is to have the strength of the three realms. Breaking through the county is just a matter of time."

"The frontier army in Cangbei County has withdrawn, and I don't know how many days the county can last."

There is no life in Linyuan County, only swarms of ghosts, and this is not an isolated case, the other four counties have also gradually fallen.

Now the entire Cangshan Mountain has been blocked from north to south, which is why Zhou Bai can't come forward to clean up.

A two-country buffer zone can also turn into a ghostly monster, so that the business of the General's Mansion has to find another way out.

That's right, the distress message that Chao Qu asked his night tour envoys to bring, described the situation in Cangbei County very bluntly, ghosts and monsters.

Ghosts are rampant, and there is no place for living people to stand.

The county city, the last hope of the entire Cangbei County, is the shelter of 30 living people.

Such a huge breath of life naturally attracted an unimaginable army of ghosts. All kinds of evil ghosts and fierce ghosts emerged one after another. I only felt that this was a real ghost town in the underworld.

During the day, when the yang energy is at its peak, and when the ghosts are at their lowest, the impact on the city will be much smaller.

Therefore, the county town is often handed over to the first-level monks of the Taoist regiment to defend with a large number of troops, and most of the second-level and real people sitting in the town take the time to recover their mana and cultivate their spirit.

At night, the real ghosts attacked the city, attacking tirelessly and non-stop, even real people would be exhausted to death.

However, the high-ranking ones among the besieging ghosts don't care about the life and death of ordinary little ghosts, and they still drive some little ghosts to die during the day.

In this way, the main force of the Taoist regiment will not be able to rest at ease, and the speed of repairing the French Open in the county will be greatly reduced during the day.

In the endless tide of ghosts, in an inconspicuous place, there is actually a living person who is calm and composed surrounded by many evil spirits.

And the ghosts around, although they couldn't suppress their bloodthirsty and greedy looks, they didn't dare to move in the slightest. Instead, from the corner of their eyes, they glanced at a burly ghost next to the living person from time to time.

This burly ghost is the ghost king Youtu, and millions of ghost troops bowed to him, and for many days they were beheading the real people in the city with ease.

"Then what's the devil, what's so good about this living person's skin, and I specially chose a noble duke, I'm not afraid that the group of hungry sons under me will not hold back someday." Youtu seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the man in front of him, his tone The sarcasm in it is palpable.

"How many times have I told you that my name is Mole, and I am the third sequence of Heavenly Demon in the Qingxu Holy Realm." The living being called Heavenly Demon was not used to it, and released a burst of coercion that frightened the group of ghosts to tremble, before correcting him.

Later, perhaps because of his cooperative relationship with Youtu, Mo Le still explained: "What do you ghosts of the underworld know? My body is the son of Anyuanhou."

"After helping you break down this county and temporarily solidify this place into a Yin domain, I can use this identity to get close to the high-level officials of the Jin Kingdom, and even gain the power to control the country's affairs."

"At that time, the second batch of main fleets will attack the mortal world, and the inside and the outside will cooperate. It will be logical for the Kingdom of Jin to return to the holy world, and I will also make an indelible contribution..."

How can You Tu have so much patience, hearing Mo Le boasting here, he interrupted quickly: "Okay, the monks in the city don't care about it for the time being, and they can die from energy consumption, but what's the matter with the City God?"

"How many times have I said, use your power to get rid of him and his gods, how come it's been almost half a month, and the city god can still come down to the underworld to harass you."

Hearing this question, Mo Le's face darkened: "The county town god is the god of the golden order, even if the current situation in Cangbei County cannot support him to exert the power of the golden order, how can I stop him from going to the underworld according to his priesthood."

"You've been wandering in the Underworld for many years anyway, don't you know better than me, a Heavenly Demon?"

"The Holy Realm has exhausted the power of the Great Thousand Yin World in order to bring the Yin World back to the Yang World in the Tianyuan Realm. Moreover, there are really no ordinary creatures that can intervene there."

Youtu knew that what Mo Le said was reasonable, but he was upset, the majestic ghost energy suppressed in his body burst out suddenly, and a roar of anger resounded all over the place.

Knowing that the ghost king was angry, many ghost generals drove the cannon fodder to launch a big offensive regardless of the sluggishness of the ghosts during the day.

"There are countless flesh and blood angry in the city. If you break the city without sealing the knife, you will charge me!"

"Eliminate the legal net, and the living are lambs to be slaughtered!"

The dark tide of ghosts surged up suddenly, scaring the walls of the city with talismans and talismans, and waves of talisman arrows and rockets tainted with talisman water were thrown out mercilessly.

The ghost group suffered heavy losses for a while, and countless ghosts were wiped out in the wailing. This death means that there is no reincarnation and no ghosts.

However, in this situation, Youtu grinned and was in a good mood.

He was happy to see that using cannon fodder to consume the killing methods in the city, once the basic talismans were exhausted, the day when the city would be destroyed would not be far away.

"Who knew that you were so wrong that not a single battleship landed in Cangbei? By the way, are you sure that the Daxu court will not come to reinforce the army?" Youtu let out a sigh of relief, and was in the mood to continue the conversation.

"I'm sure, the Ministry of War in the capital and the Daolu Department have our people. The imperial court now only wants to preserve the elite area, and the frontier troops in Cangbei County have all withdrawn. Do you want them to?"

"The group of Taoist priests who came last time were sent by the governor of Dingzhou, and they only picked up important figures such as the sheriff."

"The 30 heads of Guizhou were abandoned by default. With such a barbaric civilization, how can there be any reason why our holy world cannot be mastered?!" Mo Le said, and then boasted about the Qingxu world with fanatical eyes.

Youtu curled his lips, and silently complained in his heart, you are good things?Without your help, how can they, these vicious ghosts who can't see the light in the underworld, be able to rebel against Yin and Yang.

Of course, he didn't dare to speak out, because most of the flesh and blood of the living people got into his ghost's belly.

……

On the other side, Zhou Bai led an army of [-] crouching demons, and just passed through Cangshan Mountain at the bitter pass, and ordered to stop the march.

Because he has already seen the latest news about "ghosts" from the Yuling Tiandish at this time, more than a dozen big states from east to west, north to south, and Cangbei County have similar situations.

The places where these ghosts appear are all the border counties of the Dazhou, where there are few human beings and gods under the jurisdiction, and the scope includes several counties or even a county.

Whether it is a powerful world like Tianyuan Realm and Qingxu Realm, or the Dazhen World and Ghost World that Zhou Bai has been to, there will always be Yin and Yang.

The Yin world exists in every world, and according to the Heavenly Court, the Yin worlds of all worlds are connected together, which is the real Great Thousand Yin World.

The Qingxu Realm made arrangements in advance in the underworld, detonated at the right time, and then a hundred ghosts went out at night to disrupt the world, and cooperated to weaken and disturb more vitality in the mortal world.

Today, the Heavenly Court has begun to repair the loopholes in the rules of the underworld, but before the repair, the official suggestion is to seal off the ghostly underworld and list it as a forbidden area, and no more creatures can enter.

In order not to make the ghost group inside grow stronger and rush out to harm more places.

In addition, what Tianjue has the authority to know is that the peak of the first wave of aura is approaching, and half a year at the latest, the mortal world will usher in an eruption of aura.

Everyone in the Qingxu Realm can be like a dragon, and so can the Tianyuan Realm, including ordinary people's lives may usher in a leap.

This is a big change, and whoever fails to seize the opportunity will fall behind.

An idea immediately emerged in Zhou Bai's mind, that is, it is best to unify Bei'an County within half a year, and then carry out the whole county's military deployment under the operation of a complete county system.

The seeds of the Taoist priesthood are greatly expanded, and the Demon Subduing Army will also take the first step to become a real demon subduing army.

But let's not mention these for the time being, I'd better go see Chao Qu now and see what Cangbei County can do for him.

It seems too dangerous to lead the Fumo Army deep into Cangbei County. Zhou Bai observed the vast ghost aura and dared not go forward with such a conspicuous army of flesh and blood.

"Here's an order to set up camp along the Cangshan Mountains, and search and rescue living people and supplies on the scale of a small team."

That night, in the Cangshan camp, Zhou Bai went out for a night tour.

In the yin world, his yin spirit is like a fish in water, the negative matter in his body overwhelms the positive matter, and ordinary ghosts will think they are big ghosts when they encounter him.

Just like Zhou Bai's experience in the world of ghosts and myths, the small world of the underworld has just extended to the past, which made him know how to get around in the underworld.

Without the command of the Yangshi army, there is also an army of heroic spirits. If it happens to be brought along, it may have a miraculous effect.

Zhou Bai set foot on the land of Cangshan Mountain, put himself in the territory of the General's Mansion, and then called out with the connection in his soul.

"The evil spirits are rampant in the world of Yang, and the heroic spirits are quickly ordered to help!"

Within a cup of tea time, groups of Heroic Spirits marching in a hurry appeared behind Zhou Bai immediately.

Neatly 240 four heroic spirits, wearing armor and holding knives, followed him silently to the county where the most ghostly aura was.
