The Immortal Taoist Priest in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 23 Priest
Xu Xuan went down the mountain for the first time in five years.

All the previous living supplies were provided by people at the foot of the mountain.

This time I went down the mountain for the first time in five years.

Before leaving, he had one more thing to do.

In the back hall, Xu Xuan carried a coffin and headed to the jungle outside the palace.

In the dense forest, Xu Xuan used a shovel and dug out a rectangular pit. He gently put the coffin in and opened the coffin lid. The old man lay quietly with the corpse-fixing talisman on his forehead.

"Goodbye, Mr. Li Hu."

Xu Xuan uncovered the yellow talisman on the zombie's forehead and then filled it back with loess.

Nine more bodies were buried next.

The remaining eight were carefully selected. As for Li Hu, Xu Xuan chose to let him rest in peace. The great revenge has been avenged. For this person who helped him a lot in his cultivation, Xu Xuan still felt that he should return to eternal tranquility. as well.

After doing this, Xu Xuan packed up his things and stuffed eight zombies, mirrors, spiritual stones, swords, talismans, alchemy cauldrons, etc.

The ten cubic meters of space was almost full.

Xu Xuan stepped lightly and rose into the air.

It flew down the mountain at a low altitude of five meters, flew for a full kilometer, rested for ten seconds, and flew again.

Flying down the mountain in less than a moment.

The flight is still unstable, but it is really convenient when no one is around.

Xu Xuan went down the mountain, and a group of light cavalry came.

The knight immediately dismounted, cupped his fists and said, "Welcome the Heavenly Master down the mountain."

The visitor is none other than Ghost Partridge.

"Give me a horse and I'm going to Chenzhou."

"Yes!"

Xu Xuan rode his horse to Chenzhou Mansion, escorted by twelve cavalrymen.

On the way, Ghost Partridge introduced the situation in the past five years.

First, Xu Yong was recognized by the imperial court and was granted the title of Commander of the Capital of Chenzhou and the title of Xuanwei Envoy.

He also captured the four prefectures of Yiyang, Guizhou, and Qiannan, with a population of more than 80, [-] standing troops, and [-] mountain barbarians, making him a powerful force in Huzhou.

In recent years, he has made great achievements in suppressing bandits and has been praised by Chongzhen many times.

The first ghost partridge who followed Xu Yong all became a general.

Speaking of Chongzhen, Xu Xuan suddenly realized something and asked: "How old is it now?"

"The 12th year of Chongzhen."

Xu Xuan secretly said: "The Ming Dynasty will fall in five years."

On the way to Chenzhou, hungry people and dead bodies could be seen everywhere.

The wealthy families still sang and danced and hired many servants to guard their property. Occasionally, a few would give out porridge and food, but it was just superficial.

"How can you allow these people to exist without destroying their mansion?" Xu Xuan asked.

"We are in official status now, so I'm afraid this is not good."

"What's wrong? Do you really think they recognize you? These scholar-bureaucrats despise warriors the most. They would rather seek refuge with foreigners than rise up with warriors. Don't talk nonsense to them. Just confiscate your property and divide the land. It's not okay to do it openly, and it's not okay to secretly be a bandit secretly. ?"

Ghost Partridge's eyes lit up, and he looked like he had been taught something.

There are still five years until the end of the Ming Dynasty, and things are far more serious than imagined, with rogue bandits and grass-head kings running rampant.

Only the common people suffer.

Xu Xuan could have stayed in the mountain to practice safely, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.

"Most of the ancient classics were destroyed by war. The fall of the Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly the greatest damage to China. If we don't find the true classics as soon as possible, we will have no chance in the future."

This is what Xu Xuan thinks.

As for saving the Ming Dynasty?That’s looking too high on yourself.

It would be okay if he traveled to Jiajing and Wanli, but when Xu Xuan came over in this era, he would have been hopeless.

As for assassinating the Jin Emperor... it's not possible now. It's useless to kill one or two. If there are too many, they will set up an ambush. When a few rounds of cannons come down, his little arms and legs will also be dead.

The best way at present is to divide the north and the south, develop stably within ten years, and then go northward ten years later.

This has been planned in advance, and Xu Yong will be Nanming's Dinghai Shenzhen in the future.

Soon, the group came to Chenzhou.

In Chenzhou, after several years of development, workshops have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Xu Mansion.Xu Guangting teased his grandson with a rattle. In recent years, Xu Guangting had a boy and a girl, plus Xu Feng's son, so Xu Guangting was too busy.

"The eldest son is here!"

"Ok?"

Xu Guangting raised his head and saw his eldest son coming over under the leadership of his servants.

I haven’t seen him for five years, and his appearance is still the same, but his temperament is becoming more and more out of place.

"Come back? These are your nieces and nephews..."

The little guys hid timidly behind Xu Guangting.

The father and son exchanged pleasantries without saying a word.

Soon, Xu Yong and Xu Ling'er also arrived.

"Big brother!"

"Long time no see. Is the Yamen okay?" Xu Xuan asked.

"It's no big deal." Xu Yong briefly explained the situation.

Thanks to Xu Xuan's words and deeds, Xu Yong is generous and fair in his work and can get along well in Huguang.

"Here you are holding this thing." Xu Xuan suddenly conjured up two rice-like things. Everyone was used to this kind of magical behavior.

"What is this?" Xu Yong took it and saw that it was really rice.

"Thousands of pounds of rice can adapt to various environments and is not afraid of pests."

This is one of the materials Xu Xuan found in the storage bag. It can produce a thousand kilograms per acre, which is a weapon for the cultivator family to rule the mortal world.

The Li family has more than 30 people in one county, three times more than the population of the four counties in Chenzhou.

Although there is fighting and killing in the world of cultivating immortals, the people at the bottom are actually living better than most of the people here.

"It's great. With this thing, there's no need to worry about the failure of the foundation." Xu Yong realized the value of this thing and couldn't help being excited.

"Also... I came down the mountain today just to tell you that I am going to travel around the world, so you can take care of yourself."

Over the years, many secret techniques have been sent to me from the mountain, and as expected, almost all of them are fake.

Xu Yong and others did not have the ability to distinguish between true and false exercises, resulting in very low efficiency.

So Xu Xuan simply went out on his own.

"Stop eating?"

"No."

Xu Xuan gave a few more instructions to everyone, turned around and was about to go out.

Xu Ling'er suddenly spoke at this time and said, "Brother, will you come back in the future?"

This sentence also represents everyone's thoughts, fearing that Xu Xuan will become an immortal immediately after leaving and never see anyone again.

Xu Xuan stopped and said, "I'll be back."

He led a black-maned horse and set out on the journey.

First stop - Changsha.

There is a Yunlu Temple in Changsha. It is said that it was built by Taoist priests from Zhongnan Mountain during the Northern Song Dynasty. It has survived hundreds of years of war and may contain many good things.

There were a lot of bandits on the road, and he didn't use any spells. He usually killed them with two or three arrows. His force had reached the limit of this world, and it was even stronger with the blessing of true energy.

An army of dozens of people could not trap him.

On the other side, eight knights escorted a carriage to Changsha.

In the carriage, there was a blond-haired, blue-eyed Westerner wearing a Confucian scholar's robe, and sitting opposite him was a young man dressed in hunting attire.

"Your Excellency Ai Xiru, are there really gods in the world?"

The young man asked the foreign monk curiously.

Ai Xiru said seriously: "There are gods! Yueshu is the only god. If there are gods in the world, it must be Yueshu who descended to earth. There are no other gods except Yueshu. Most of them are legends that mortals can only imagine."

"Sir Ai, you will be beaten if you say that." The young man curled his lips, thinking that he was his sponsor, so he did not refute.

The young man is Chen Guang, the incense master of Longmen. Longmen is a martial arts sect that mainly operates escort agencies and other businesses.

But to be fair, this foreign monk is actually quite good. He is friendly to others and often helps the weak and needy. However, his personality is too pedantic. He talks all day long, a bit like a foreign scholar.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Suddenly, a group of bandits appeared on both sides of the road.
