Great Xuanwu Sheng

Chapter 198: Hanbei Rookie Genealogy

 Yuzhou.

 Seven Xuanzong.

 The courtyard behind the main hall on the main peak.

 The elder and acting headmaster Qi Zhiyuan was sitting under an ancient pine tree, reading a book in his hand.

Beside Qi Zhiyuan, there is a middle-aged man wearing Qixuan Dharma Protector robe. He is standing respectfully, reporting many intelligences from other places to Qi Zhiyuan.

“...Above, the remnants of the Haoran Sect and the main force of the Qinglian Sect were completely defeated by the Zhenbei Army. The remnants of the Qinglian Sect have withdrawn from Hanzhou. Now Zhenbei Prefecture has absorbed Beizhou, Hanzhou, and Youzhou, and governs the three states."

Qi Zhiyuan listened to the protector's narration, put down the book in his hand, and said slowly: "To capture Youzhou, Zhenbei Mansion should not use any more troops in a short period of time, but after this battle, Zhenbei Mansion has grown by three points. "

 Zhenbeifu.

It is the Daofu that nominally governs the eleven states of Hanbei Province, and is also responsible for containing the "King of Zhenbei" who is stationed at the border of Beizhou. However, when the Daxuan court gradually declined, Zhenbei Prefecture actually existed in name only.

Nowadays, Zhenbei Mansion has become a banner controlled by the Zhenbei King. Under the banner of Zhenbei Mansion, he sent troops to various state capitals and defeated the Haoran Sect, Beihan Sect and Qinglian Sect in ten years. Now it completely controls the three states of Hanbei Dao and has become the most powerful force in Hanbei Dao today.

“Elder Qi, that man is so ambitious that he probably has his eyes set on more than just the three states…”

 The protector next to him spoke worriedly.

Although Yuzhou is not connected to Beizhou, Hanzhou and Youzhou, the three states are now under the jurisdiction of Zhenbei Prefecture. If one day in the future, Yuzhou may also become a place of war.

In fact, when Zhenbeifu attacked Youzhou, Qinglian Sect also asked Qixuanzong for help, but Qixuanzong considered that Youzhou was too far away, and Zhenbeifu defeated Qinglianzong and captured Youzhou, so it also attacked Yuzhou. There is no threat for the time being. Even if Zhenbei Mansion is ambitious and menacing, it is not the Qixuan Sect's responsibility to travel thousands of miles to help, and there is no benefit.

What’s more.

Large sects like Haoran Sect and Qinglian Sect are not destroyed so easily. Even the Haoran Sect, which was initially captured in Beizhou, is still intact in its organizational structure, but it has lost its control over Beizhou. Due to the lack of control, the clan had to move, and then joined the Qinglian Sect to resist the soldiers of Zhenbei Mansion.

In addition, in Kuzhou and Songzhou, which are adjacent to Youzhou, the two major sects, Wusheng Temple and Tianyahai Pavilion respectively, have unclear attitudes. This is why Qixuan Sect finally chose to sit back and watch the battle in Youzhou. one of the reasons.

after all.

If Tianya Haige or Wusheng Temple have secretly united with Zhenbei Mansion, then traveling thousands of miles to support the Qinglian Sect is equivalent to falling into a trap. Although it is unlikely for a group of old monks from Wusheng Temple, Tianya Haige cannot That’s easy to say.

What's more, the Qixuan Sect is not monolithic. Many old peak masters and elders are not interested in the chaos in the Hanbei Dao states, and have no thoughts of fighting. Even the sect leader is now in seclusion all year round, ignoring the sect's affairs. They were all handed over to Qi Zhiyuan, the 'acting leader', and it was precisely because of this that the Qixuan Sect was closed off for many years.

“Everyone knows the intentions of the King of Zhenbei, but so what?”

Qi Zhiyuan said quietly: "To unify Hanbei Dao is not something that can be achieved in a short time, nor can it be defeated by force alone. In the past, when Daxuan was at its peak, there were still so many sects in the world. , what does Zhenbei Mansion mean now, let alone when it comes to really having to make a choice, do you know which side is the most correct?"

"this…"

The protector looked hesitant.

It is true that everything in the world is in chaos. Except for the eleven states of Gyeonggi Province where Zhongzhou is located, which is relatively stable, the rest of the world is basically like Hanbei Province. Some places are even more chaotic and not as good as Hanbei Province.

In the eleven states of Hanbei Dao, there are many sects such as Tianjianmen and Xuanji Pavilion. Each of them has different ideas, some are radical, some are conservative, and they are all large sects that play a decisive role in the eleven states. It can be described as a mess.

Zhenbei Mansion is ambitious, Xuanji Pavilion is also secretive, Tianjian Sect only focuses on martial arts, Hehuan Sect and Xueyin Pavilion are even more difficult to guess. Currently, Qixuan Sect and Xuanji Pavilion are vaguely opposed to each other, and they really have no time to care about it. .

“Soldiers will come to block us, and water will come to cover us. Don’t think too much about it. The general trend of the world is like this. At best, we can go back to the old days, when all the sects in the world had to obey the orders of the imperial court. At the worst, what can we do?”

Qi Zhiyuan shook his head and said.

Like Qixuan Sect, a large sect that stands at the top of a state, as long as the sect continues to inherit and has top martial arts experts, and has a deep foundation, it is often difficult to collapse in one or two battles.

Zhenbeifu pacified the three states, why not exterminate the Haoran Sect and Qinglian Sect?

 Haoran Sect also has a blood exchange realm!

It is easy to kill ordinary disciples, but it is difficult to kill such an extremely powerful person. Once someone is completely angered, he will attack everywhere without any scruples. Even Zhenbei Mansion will have difficulty in dealing with it. On the contrary, sects such as Haoran Sect and Qinglian Sect will be retained. A rough establishment can make these extremely powerful people fearful and not act recklessly, so that they can reach a tacit understanding with each other.

Of course, if the sect does not have the ultimate existence in the blood exchange realm, then there is indeed the possibility of annihilation, but it is only possible... Like the Xueyin Tower, which existed hundreds of years ago, and has been listed as illegal and banned by the Daxuan court The Demon Sect has been pursued and suppressed in various ways, but it has been suppressed for hundreds of years but has not been completely eradicated. Now that the troubled times have arrived, it has immediately returned to the bright side.

even.

The Heavenly Corpse Sect, which was the enemy of the whole world, has now begun to revive. Not only did Yu County dig up its traces before, but now according to intelligence, the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Sect are haunted in several states.

Naturally, the Qixuan Sect also has the top beings in the blood exchange realm. This is why the Qixuan Sect stands in Yuzhou and can sit back and watch the chaos in the eleven states of Hanbei Dao. At least with such a figure who stands at the top of the martial arts, there will be no party. He will fight to the death with the Qixuan Sect, and there will always be room left.

“Compared to the situation in Hanbei Road, have you read the ‘Hanbei Road Rookie Profile’ listed by Tianya Haige?”

Qi Zhiyuan suddenly clapped the book in his hand, smiled at the protector, and said: "There are four people in our Qixuan Sect who are listed on the book, but they are not bad at all."

On the cover of the book, there are the words "Hanbei Road Rookie Book".

Protector Qiao Yue was startled for a moment, then hesitantly said: "I looked and found a total of fifty, but our Seven Xuan Sect seems to only have Zhou Hao from Taixuan Peak, Ling Zecheng from Shangxuan Peak, and Lu Gong from Tianxuan Peak. In the genealogy, there are only three..."

"Hahaha."

Hearing this, Qi Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Although the man from Yu County is not the true successor of our Qixuan Sect, why can't he be counted as a disciple of our Qixuan Sect?"

Protector Qiao Yue suddenly understood and said, "I forgot about this."

He had also heard of Chen Mu's name. After all, he was better than Gu Hong of the Tianjian Sect and Hua Nongying of the Hehuan Sect. It was said that there seemed to be two true disciples in Xuanji Pavilion who were suspected to have died at the hands of Chen Mu. In those days, he learned He was still shocked when he heard the news. He didn't expect that such a person could appear in Yu County, the most remote county below Yuzhou.

Qi Zhiyuan smiled and said nothing.

For Qixuan Sect, the more geniuses like Chen Mu who can rival Zhou Hao of Taixuan Peak, the better. He has already ordered people to introduce Chen Mu to the sect. After Chen Mu joins the sect, It is estimated that it won't be long before he has the strength to fight Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao was too outstanding in the Qixuan Sect before. He had no opponents at all, so he was a little slack in his practice. After being defeated by Zuo Qianqiu, he finally got up a lot. When Chen Mu comes to the Qixuan Sect again, it will become a prosperous place. scene.

 …

 Yucheng.

Under the blazing sun, the bottom of the towering city wall shows many traces of erosion and erosion by running water, and a lot of silt and sand are accumulated at the bottom of the entire city wall.

At this time, many figures can be seen, clearing away the sand bit by bit along the city wall. All the figures are in ragged clothes, and they seem to be forced laborers from the city. Some of them are old and staggering. portage.

 “Hurry up, hurry up! The old thing is so slow that he doesn’t want to live anymore!”

There were officers in official uniforms, holding whips in their hands, standing in the distance and shouting loudly.

Snapped.

 Suddenly he felt his shoulders sink, as if someone was tapping him from behind.

The guard cursed and turned around and said, "Who the hell... eh."

When he saw the figure standing behind him, the officer was so scared that he didn't pee. He knelt down on the ground and said, "Sir, sir, please see Mr. Du Si."

As a sergeant, it is a basic skill to recognize the rank of official uniforms. Even if he has never seen Chen Mu, he can recognize Chen Mu at a glance because he is wearing a purple robe. To him, he is an extremely important person. , even his boss’s boss would have to kowtow here quickly... Besides, he really knows Chen Mu. He is a servant in Wutong, and he was once a servant under Chen Mu. When Chen Mu left office, he thought that Chen Mu had offended the He family and had a gloomy future. However, in the blink of an eye, not only Chen Mu jumped He became one of the top figures in Yucheng, and even the entire He family was destroyed by Chen Mu!

Every time he thought of his experience as a servant under Chen Mu, he felt as if he was in a dream.

 “How were these labors collected?”

 Chen Mu took a look at the officer, but he was not very impressed. After all, he was already a police officer when he was a messenger in Wutong. He had hundreds of officers under his command, and he basically remembered very few of their names.

The officer hurriedly returned: "Sir... all of them cannot pay the poll tax and are fined with hard labor..."

 Is this so?

Chen Mu sighed in his heart, and then said calmly: "Sooner or later, all this sediment will be cleaned up. You go and pass on my order, so that everyone should not be forced too hard. In addition, who dares to deduct the daily meal money?" , just go to jail and spend your time slowly."

"Yes Yes…"

The officer responded quickly.

When there was no movement, he slowly raised his head and saw that Chen Mu's figure had disappeared. Then he quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then looked at the laborers working in the distance, and felt a little emotional for a moment, Chen Mu Mu's official position has reached such a high level, but his behavior is still the same as when he was in Wutong.

 I immediately patted the sand off my uniform and hurriedly reported to various places.

 …

 Inner city.

 The residence of the Yu family.

 Chen Mu's courtyard is still as clean and tidy as when he left.

In the side room on the east side, Chen Yuezheng and Yu Ru were seen huddled together, holding a book and flipping through it. There were some words on it that Chen Yue didn't quite recognize, and Yu Ru was reading them for her.

Then she didn't know what she was thinking of. Chen Yue suddenly hugged Yu Ru and whispered in her ear, and then started to giggle. Yu Ru couldn't help but burst out laughing, and bursts of cheerful laughter filled the yard. sounded.

 While the two were laughing.

 Suddenly a voice came.

 “What book are you reading? It’s so interesting?”

When the familiar voice fell, Chen Yue and Yu Ru stopped their movements immediately. They both looked at the door, each showing a look of surprise, and then stood up together.

"elder brother!"

 “Brother Mu!”

 “When did Brother Qi come back?!”

Chen Mu smiled peacefully and said, "I just came back, why did you two come to my yard? I remember Yue'er, you don't like reading, so why are you reading with Xiaoru?"

 Chen Yue smiled and shook the book in her hand at Chen Mu and said, "Because there is a brother in the book!"

"oh?"

Chen Mu walked over with a little curiosity and said: "When did I enter the book? Let me see... Well, Hanbei Dao rookie genealogy, where did this come from?"

Chen Yue explained: "It seems to have just started selling yesterday. I heard that my brother was composing the music in the book, so I went to buy a copy with Xiaoru and planned to tell you when my brother comes back."

"Well."

Chen Mu nodded slightly and then opened the book.

 The content on the first page immediately came into view. It was a paragraph of text, with a name at the top.

 ‘Zuo Qianqiu’!

 The leader of Tianjian Sect’s True Succession.

Using jade bones to form the five internal organs, he is the only being who has followed the lineage of the Heavenly Sword for hundreds of years, and has practiced the artistic conception of the Heavenly Sword to the second step. He practices the way of killing with the Heavenly Sword, and his method is the "Seven Heaven-cutting Swords". The contemporary Tianjian Sect No one among his disciples could catch up with his three swords. He defeated Zhou Hao, the leader of Qixuan Sect's true successor, with his fourth sword, and defeated Hehuan Sect's Hua Nongyue with his sixth sword...

  Comprehension assessment: A-top.

 Qualification assessment: A-top.

Strength evaluation: Level A, eleven states in Hanbei Province, first among the five internal organs.

 “Zuo Qianqiu…”

 Chen Mu looked at this page thoughtfully.

He remembered that Hanbei Dao had a "Feng Yun Ranking", which recorded the top beings under the marrow-cleansing masters in the entire Hanbei Dao. Among them, Yan Jingqing was also on the list. The "Feng Yun Ranking" seemed to come from Tianya Hai Pavilion.

This Hanbei Dao Rookie Book is also written by Tianya Haige, but it lacks a personal portrait and lacks a bit of flavor.

 Continue to turn back.

The second page.

 ‘Yuan Yingsong’!

The 13th son of Zhenbei King Yuan Hong, the governor of Zhenbei Prefecture on the left side of Dongguan, mastered the artistic conception of Kun and Earth in the eight phases of the universe, and ordered him to practice the artistic conception of Lihuo. He took the second step and practiced the Eight Desolate Halberd Techniques. He once killed hundreds of foreigners outside the border at the border and defeated the geniuses among the foreigners. Later, he single-handedly defeated the four true disciples of the Haoran Sect who joined forces...

 Qualification assessment: A-top.

 Strength assessment: Above, with Zuo Qianqiu or between the two.

"Yuan Yingsong... I have never heard of this person's name before. Yuzhou is still too far away from Beizhou. No, it should be said that Yu County is too remote. Many news cannot be spread here. If it is in the state capital, there should still be these rumors. .”

 Chen Mu murmured in his heart.

I then continued to rummage around and soon saw some familiar names, such as the Acacia twins ‘Hua Nong Yue’, Kou Zhi, the Secretary of Xueyin Tower, Zhou Hao, the true successor of Taixuan Peak of Qixuan Sect, etc.

 After flipping all the way to page 27, he finally saw his name.

 ‘Chen Mu’!

Du Si, the Supervisor of Yu County, Yuzhou, was born in poverty and rose to prominence at a young age. He did not practice martial arts until he was more than 20 years old, which took many years. However, he still had extremely high understanding and realized the Xunfeng, Zhenlei, and Li in just a few years. He has cultivated all the three artistic conceptions of fire to the second step. In addition, he has also initially mastered the artistic conception of Genshan. He once defeated Gu Hong, the true disciple of Tianjian Sect, with one sword...

  Comprehension assessment: A-top.

 Qualification assessment: A-top.

 Strength assessment: Under Armor.

Affiliated: The qualifications are high, and they are peerless geniuses. They are low in their body and have not been discovered. They are too late for martial arts. Otherwise, the strength is far from today's level, or it can be over the top ten of the rookie.
