Chapter 109 All Things
In the hall of the Taiping Religion House of Internal Affairs.

A group of generals sat together, and guard Feng Chuan was killed. Chen Shuai and Su Qinghan were now wanted throughout Pingyang City, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that it would be extremely difficult to catch the murderer.

Feng Chuan's strength is among the best in the entire Taiping Sect, otherwise he would not be allowed to control a city. Now that Feng Chuan is dead, they and other lieutenants are all in danger, fearing that the murderer will turn back, and even they will not be spared.

"I have sent a letter to General Di Gong about this matter. I believe it won't be long before General Di Gong gets the news. But right now, General Bai, what do the military advisors say?"

A lieutenant general who temporarily replaced Feng Chuan took charge of the overall situation and asked a lieutenant general who called General Bai to stop. The other party said: "The military advisor wants to let General Gong take charge of Pingyang City temporarily and let us focus on adjusting our general strength to Qingfeng City. .”

General Bai took out the envelope from the military advisor. The deputy general opened it and quickly made a decision. He only heard him say: "Then according to what the military advisor said, we must ensure that things go smoothly in the next time. Remember not to delay. The strategic plan of the military advisor. As for General Di Gong, he is in Luozhou now. I am afraid it will be some time before he receives our news."

Feng Chuan is the top general under General Di Gong. The relationship between the two is by no means as simple as superior and subordinate. It is said that General Di Gong values ​​Feng Chuan very much and seems to train Feng Chuan as the next generation of General Di Gong. Now Feng Chuan is dead. , if General Digong gets the news, he will definitely be furious, and he may hold them accountable.

That's why they asked the military advisor how to deal with it. At least the military advisor was not as bloodthirsty as General Digong. They might be able to save a life. The top priority was to do everything arranged by the military advisor.

……

Buddha Temple.

The monks are practicing martial arts every day, and news about the rebels is still flying around the Buddha Temple every day.

The seemingly peaceful pagoda is far from as peaceful as it is in reality.

In the main hall, a group of monks were sitting with solemn faces. Each of them had a solemn look on their face. The abbot's empty eyebrows were condensed into rivers, with an indescribable sadness.

"Brother Abbot, are the Taiping Sect really planning to attack our Futu Temple?"

One of the leaders said dryly. Ever since he got the news, he looked like a bitter gourd. In fact, this news was like a bolt from the blue to him.

"The Taiping Sect really bullies people too much!" Kong Mu cursed angrily, didn't it mean that he didn't donate money and food to them? As for such a grudge, he must retaliate?

According to the news received by Kong Kong, a message came from the Taiping Sect, claiming that the Buddha Temple was unwilling to lend them money and food, causing them heavy losses, so they planned to change their route to the Buddha Temple and prepare for a good visit.

The letter also said that it would be fine if the Buddha Temple did not lend them money and food, but it actually dared to lend it to the government. The government used the money and food to prevent the Taiping Religion's conquest, which caused many casualties among their brothers. This debt must also be counted against the Buddha. On the temple.

After getting the news, Kong Kong asked all the leaders to gather together. Before, they didn't need to care about the Taiping Sect's envelope, but recently the Taiping Sect has become so powerful that it has completely occupied Baishi Prefecture and established a firm foothold.

In other words, the Taiping Sect is firmly established in Baishi Prefecture. It can attack Luozhou if it advances, and Guyang Prefecture if it retreats. It has done the same thing. Now Luozhou has been occupied by a city by the Taiping Sect, and it seems that the ambitions of the Taiping Sect That's not all, I want to further occupy more cities.

The current situation in Guyang Prefecture is also very serious. Several cities have fallen due to the conquests of the Taiping Religion. Everyone in Futu Temple still can’t understand why such a group of rebels composed of poor people has such a huge momentum. It was such a sensation and had the potential to start a prairie fire.

"What did the government say?" Seeing that everyone was silent, Kong Shui asked lightly. Only a few people could remain calm at the moment.

After hearing this, Kong Kong shook his head and said: "The government said they would try to send as many people as possible, but the war ahead is tense, so I'm afraid this will be as far away as possible, and they also put forward conditions, hoping that we can resupply the front with some supplies. .”

"Another supply?" The head of the Miscellaneous Hall said that although the Buddha Temple has stored a lot of money and food, it is not inexhaustible. Nowadays, the daily consumption of the Buddha Temple is very huge, and it has already cut down on expenditure and resources. .

Moreover, it has been replenished to the government twice, and both times the amount was very huge. Now that it is replenished again, no matter how strong the foundation of the Buddha Temple is, it may not be able to withstand such consumption.

After hearing this, the leaders frowned and felt that the government's move was a bit too far-reaching. Not to mention the two previous donations to the Buddha Temple. Now that the Buddha Temple is in trouble, the government has added insult to injury.

"Brother Abbot, may I ask how much supplies they ask for?" A leader asked, feeling that if the supplies were small, it would not be unacceptable.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Kong Kong. Kong Kong didn't know what everyone was thinking. He sighed: "Ninety percent!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Why didn't they grab [-]% of the money and food?
Everyone's faces turned green and white for a while. The government's words completely cut off their hopes. Moreover, the government seemed to be convinced of the Buddha Temple and thought they had no choice, so they opened their mouths.

Many things quickly came to everyone's mind. The attitude of the government made everyone feel heavier and heavier. The Taiping Sect has not yet come, but everyone's heart is cast with a shadow. No one knows whether Futu Temple can still survive. how long.

"If it really doesn't work, then just donate, but I don't know how many people the government will send in the end." Kong Kong said with a faint sigh.

After everyone heard this, they all said that this was the only way to go. This was the end of the meeting, but the impact of the meeting was not over.

News that the Taiping Sect was about to attack spread invisibly in the Futu Temple. After learning about this, some monks became panicked. Some monks were afraid of being liquidated by the Taiping Sect, so they went down the mountain at night and left the Futu Temple.

For a time, the entire Buddha Temple became panicked.

Outside the Sutra Pavilion, Jieqing and Zhenwu came to Chen Shuai's residence many times. When they saw the empty room, they couldn't help but look at each other, and then they both sighed. It seemed that Chen Shuai should have gone down the mountain long ago.

……

Qingfeng City Lu Mansion.

The once prosperous Lu family has now become withered. Ever since Lu Feng became a monk, the business of the Lu family has been declining day by day. In Qingfeng City today, the Lu family has long been reduced from a prestigious family to a third-rate family.

If Mrs. Lu hadn't worked hard to save the last dignity of the Lu family, I'm afraid that the Lu family would have disappeared in the long river of history. However, the Lu family did not escape the disaster after all. After the Taiping Sect occupied Qingfeng City, any family with some assets would All the money and food at home were collected.It can be said that other families are no longer much better than the Lu family. Even many families that are more powerful than the Lu family have declined after the arrival of the Taiping Religion. In comparison, the Lu family is actually better than these families. On many.

Recently, the Taiping Religion has been arresting women. All the women of the same age from other families have been arrested. However, because of the declining population of the Lu family, only one woman has been arrested. She is Mrs. Lu’s daughter-in-law, but Mrs. Lu’s son has been arrested. He was beaten to death for resisting the Taiping Religion.

For a time, the Lu family was covered with white silk, and cries could be heard in several alleys. However, misfortunes never come singly. Soon, the Lu family's mansion was occupied, and Mrs. Lu and her granddaughter had to leave the Lu family.

In the slums, there are many more people living in the slums now. Many of them came to the slums because their homes were confiscated for offending the Taiping Religion. Mrs. Lu and Lu Yun rented a dilapidated house with their little money. In the house, one old and one young continued to pay their last respects to Lu's eldest son.

"Grandma, can my mother come back?" Lu Yun, who had experienced so many things, seemed to have grown up overnight. Although she was young, she watched her mother being taken away by the Taiping Cult people, and her heart was filled with tears. I have quite a few guesses.

Hearing Lu Yun's words, Mrs. Lu sighed quietly. She didn't know this question, but in order not to hurt her child, she had no choice but to say, "Don't worry, your mother will definitely come back."

Bang bang bang!
"Open the door quickly! Damn old woman, open the door quickly, I know you are hiding inside!"

At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door, followed by a rough voice. The dilapidated house began to vibrate due to the violent knocking, and the dust on the eaves fell down.

"Shh, don't speak!"

When Mrs. Lu heard the noise, she quickly covered Lu Yun's mouth, fearing that she would make any sound. The people outside were gangsters on the street who often came to collect protection fees. Ever since Mrs. Lu moved here, in just a few days, They have been charged five times for protection fees, each time higher than the last.

These people charge protection fees, not on a monthly basis, but on a daily basis, and if they don't pay, they will usher in their violent revenge.

Before, Mrs. Lu didn't have any money and asked them to give them some mercy. But in the end, these people asked Lu Yun to pay off the debt and almost took Lu Yun away. In the end, if Mrs. Lu hadn't taken out the jewelry on her body, I'm afraid Lu Yun would have died. He was taken away by them.

In order to avoid these damn gangsters, Mrs. Lu would keep the door closed during the day. They didn't have much money with them. The other party saw that they were orphans and old people who were easy to bully, so they stared at them every day. Under such circumstances, How can Mrs. Lu open the door?
Fortunately, although the house was dilapidated, the door was still strong. After the two waited inside the house for a while, it became quiet outside, but they still did not dare to make a sound, fearing that the other party would stop moving on purpose. In fact, they were still inside. Didn't leave.

"Okay, okay, I want to see how long you can hide!"

The gangster yelled angrily and left after speaking. After hearing this, Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Lu Yun's mouth. Lu Yun also knew the seriousness of the matter and had been silently cooperating with Mrs. Lu. When Lu Yun was about to open the door and take a look, Mrs. Lu shook her head to stop her.

Afterwards, Mrs. Lu stood up and looked at her rice vat. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. There was not much rice left in the rice vat, and the food at home was not enough. If she didn't go out to buy rice, she might not be able to resist it for a few days. She would be hungry. It's okay, but I'm afraid of wronging Lu Yun.

Although Lu Yun pretends to be happy every day, how could she not see that the child cannot get used to such a hard life? It's just that Lu Yun is too sensible, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

Mrs. Lu gets a headache when she thinks of the gangsters outside. She doesn't have much savings at home, and the price of food outside is rising like crazy. If this continues, when will it end!
……

Forest wasteland.

Chen Shuai sat quietly aside and was refining the Demon-Slaying Sword. He said it was refining, but it was actually integrating the true Buddha relics into the Demon-Slaying Sword.

This was also a whim of his. Since Su Qinghan couldn't find a way on his own, he might as well let Chen Shuai try.

After he discovered that the true Buddha relics could suppress the demonic energy on the demon-slaying sword, he suddenly had the idea to use the true Buddha relics to refining the demon-slaying sword. After asking Su Qinghan, she expressed her willingness to give it a try.

"This guy actually knows how to refine weapons!" Su Qinghan had been watching Chen Shuai for an unknown amount of time, and found that Chen Shuai's weapon refining techniques were very different, but overall, he was very skillful. Although he looked disharmonious, But subconsciously, I think this is how it should be.

Quietly watching the process of Chen Shuai refining the weapon, Su Qinghan couldn't help but stare. I don't know how long it took, but Chen Shuai finished refining the weapon. It was the first time he refining the weapon normally. To be honest, it was still a big challenge for Chen Shuai. He had used demons and ghosts to make it before. of the device.

Fortunately, he lived up to his mission and succeeded in refining the weapon for the first time. The true Buddha relics were integrated into the demon-slaying sword, so that the demon-slaying sword completed its transformation and Su Qinghan no longer had any problems to worry about.

"Okay, now you can use this demon-slaying sword at will. Not only you, but others can also use it. There will be no bloodline restrictions. The true Buddha relics can not only suppress the aura of demons, but also purify the aura of demons. Although The speed is very slow, but it is enough to ensure that you will not be infected by the demonic energy."

As if in response to Chen Shuai's words, the demon-slaying sword made a crisp clang sound as soon as it fell into Su Qinghan's hand, completely lacking the evil and awe-inspiring posture it had at the beginning.

Seeing this, Su Qinghan looked at Chen Shuai seriously and thanked: "Thank you."

Chen Shuai waved his hand and didn't care. After Su Qinghan took away the demon-slaying sword, he looked at it carefully as if seeing a treasure, and suddenly sighed: "It would be great if I met you earlier."

Chen Shuai was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then fell into silence. After Su Qinghan's mood improved, he said: "It's getting late, let's leave here."

"it is good!"

The two of them walked away, taking advantage of the fact that it was still dark, and hurried until midnight. Along the way, they met many people who were fleeing, and they seemed to be targeted by demons. When Su Qinghan found out, he immediately took action. Su Qinghan, who had no worries, did it easily. She used the demon-slaying sword to kill the demon, but she could save the refugees from the demon, but she could not save them from the flames of war.

After traveling for three or four hours, at midnight, the two finally arrived at Sifang City. The gate of Sifang City was closed tightly, and they flew directly into the city.

After observing for a while, they found that there were no Taiping Sect disciples patrolling at this time, and there were not many soldiers guarding the Sifang City occupied by the Taiping Sect. The two randomly found an empty house and planned to spend the night in the open.

While waiting for tomorrow, the two of them will go their separate ways. Chen Shuai will go to Qingfeng City, and Su Qinghan will go to Luofeng City.
