Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 650: Country, people

The clouds are as black as ink.

In the middle of the month, the clouds that had accumulated for half a month had turned black, the clouds were thick, and the sky had become extremely low, as if you could reach out and touch it.

Bowang City, a 100-foot-tall building in the city.

The roof of the building has been submerged in dark clouds.

The attic was brightly lit, and Jue Mingfeng was sitting directly above, looking at the dark clouds outside with a very worried expression.

"Young Fox Kingdom sent another letter of credence, ordering us to go to support. If we don't go and offend them, Wang Kingdom may be in danger of subjugation again."

"Master, don't worry too much. We stopped Shu Kingdom and saved Youhu Kingdom from the enemy in the north. It is a great achievement in any case. Besides, Yunhu and Anhan are also from Wangguo. They have already left. Enough explanation."

Lu Tong sat on the left and drank a glass of wine.

The real war is between Jiguo and Youhuguo. Life is like an ant, life and death follow the sky. Once they get deep into it, the Nascent Soul Realm may also be in danger of falling.

Jue Tianniu sat opposite Lu Tong and echoed: "Master, we are in trouble, and we are unable to support the young fox. However, the young fox has always been in the upper position. If it is rejected this time, it is likely to be slightly punished. We should have taken precautions early."

"It's all up to the King of Heaven."

Jue Mingfeng looked depressed.

Zizhen King, Shu Kingdom, and Youhu Kingdom attacked one after another, and Juemingfeng had no idea.

Jue Tianniu looked at Lu Tong and said, "Master Lu, Jinjing City is located in the southwest, not far from Youhu Kingdom. I would like to ask Master to be more vigilant and arrange for his Taoist soldiers to patrol the border between the two countries."

Lu Tong’s eyes moved slightly.

It was a hot potato, so I pushed him out to pick him up, but it was just what he wanted.

It's hot if you can't catch it, but it's a delicious meal if you catch it.

"This is a difficult matter."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Lu Tong knocked on the wine glass, pondered for a moment, and said: "I have only been through the Nascent Soul for a short period of time. I can't stop the illusions and gods of the Young Fox Kingdom on my own."

"This is a major event for the country. If the master needs anything, we will definitely help him."

"The monks under my command are good at transforming demons. The more such methods, the more powerful they will be. Does the Great Heavenly King have such methods?"

"Haha."

Jue Tianniu was shirtless, raised his head and laughed: "Wangguo comes from the Baolian Sect, and is naturally good at transforming monsters. I will use the 'Purple Back Bear' method, which can reach the highest level of the Golden Elixir. Master What do you think?"

Lu Tong nodded slowly.

"There is no danger to defend the country, so a high tower must be built. This is expensive and requires the assistance of some weapon refiners."

"High tower? But the blood tower on the island behind the weir?"

"Exactly."

Jue Tianniu's expression darkened slightly, he glanced at Jue Mingfeng, pondered for a moment, and said: "To be honest with you, Master, I once visited Yanhou Island from a distance. The Blood Tower gathers blood energy, and it is responsible for Wang Guo's "Demon Mansion" The Return to Yuan Gong is of great benefit."

Lu Tong understood the meaning of the words and said directly: "I belong to the prosperous country, and I will be prosperous. I am willing to share my blood and blood with the Great Heavenly King."

"I thanked my master first!"

Jue Tianniu raised his hand and said: "But if you need it, Master just make a list."

"Okay."

Lu Tong picked up the filled wine glass and motioned to Jue Longhorn.

The two drank together.

Lu Tong dropped his wine glass heavily and said in a deep voice: "To the west is the Young Fox, to the north is the Kingdom of Shu, to the east is the Blood Refiner, and to the south is the Ghost King. We are committed to this place. If we are careless, we will lose our foundation."

"Hey."

Jue Tianniu sighed and looked downcast.

The three of them sat for a while.

Lu Tong did not wait for the news of the fight between Jiguo and Youhuguo. He stood up and left, saying: "It seems that we will not take action today."

"The master must stay for a few more days within three or two days to prevent the Kingdom of Shu from breaking the contract and going south to plunder again."

"Okay."

Lu Tong leaves the attic.

Jue Tianniu watched Lu Tong go away and returned to the building. His face became as serious as water, and he said in a low voice: "It's time to consider the way out."

Jueming Feng was still in a trance and seemed not to hear.

"Feng'er!"

"Huh?"

Jue Tianniu shook his head and said: "The Jue family has reached a critical moment of life and death. Is it time to consider the way out?"

“Hasn’t it been decided a long time ago that before the country is destroyed, the whole country will be merged into the Young Fox Kingdom?”

“Today is different from the past.”

Jue Tianniu looked at the seat where Lu Tong was sitting, sat down slowly, and said: "The fox girl is not a good master, and this master Lu is not a kind person either. They each have their own needs, and the Jue family still has something to offer. There is room for selling."

……

The next day.

In the early morning, a heavy snowstorm suddenly fell. Big fluffy fluffy snowflakes fell overwhelmingly, as if billions of geese were flying all over the sky.

Lu Tong turned into a thunder dragon, shrugged and flew up.

Jue Longhorn and Jue Mingfeng also flew high into the sky, looking towards the west together.

"Here we go."

"Yeah."

There are only dark clouds and blizzards ahead, and nothing else except black and white.

However, all three of them noticed something unusual.

The cloud is getting angry, this is the aftermath coming from a very far distance.

Jue Tianniu said: "Excuse me, Master, go to Lixian Pier and guard the people of Shu Kingdom."

"Okay."

Lu Tong also intends to leave.

Jue Tianniu said again: "I will go guard the direction of Youhu Kingdom, while the king will stay behind to guard the capital."

"Master of hard work, king of hard work!"

Lu Tong flew out, and after traveling a few miles, he transformed into a moon-worn monkey owl. He shot out hundreds of ink arrows one after another, and soon arrived at Lixian Pier.

A golden light hangs in the clouds on the pier.

Lu Tong approached and said, "I've met Uncle Master."

Qu Shenpeng nodded slightly and said: "Let's go, I'll wait for you to come over and let's go and see the methods of Jiguo and Youhuguo."

"Okay."

The two headed west together.

Near the Young Fox Kingdom, the clouds were shaking like waves and the sound was like beating the sky. Countless roars merged into one, blending into a shocking roar that was inaudible but reached straight to the soul.

Amidst the layers of dark clouds, a flash of white light stands out.

Que Shenpeng escapes into the light.

Lu Tong followed closely behind, and his eyes calmed down for a moment after entering.

There are no dark clouds or blizzards in the light, only the fragrance of flowers and wine. Real people and real demons are sitting on the futons, looking relaxed, chatting and looking at the light mirror in the center.

A total of fourteen Yuanying realms.

Queshenpeng reached out to several people and walked to sit next to Yun Ao.

"Coming."

After Yun Ao took over the Lixian Pier, he seemed to become friendly and handed him a glass of wine himself.

Lu Tong took the wine glass and asked in a low voice: "Who are they?"

"Lianzhou Mountain, Jianze, the major fairy ships, Longchao Mountain, Blood Refining, Treasure Country..."

Lu Tong looked at them one by one, and finally looked at the light mirror in the center.

The vast mountains were reflected in the mirror, and the sky seemed like a big mouth, spewing out blizzards of snow.

A hundred-foot-long windmills floated under the clouds. The windmills rotated, and the blizzard disappeared and wrinkled. They gathered together and turned into ice spears that shot downward.

The land has turned completely white.

Dozens of giant beasts braved the ice spears and collided wantonly on the ice sheet, flattening icebergs, ice trees, etc., and carving out ravines.

Lu Tong looked slightly calm.

The Bull Dragon Beast is a monster from the Northern Demon Mansion. It looks like a rhinoceros, ranging from tens to hundreds of feet tall, and its strength is extremely amazing.

Yun Ao created a layer of mist, shrouded the surroundings, and asked: "Is there anything unusual in Wangguo?"

"No."

Lu Tong took a sip of wine.

The picture in the light mirror changed, and a large hole several miles in diameter appeared on the ground.

A few golden elixir monks sat cross-legged in the air, waving their hands to direct the ice spears falling from the sky into the cave. Nearly ten thousand people were guarding below, ready to attack at any time.

Yun Aodao: "Most of the Young Fox Country has gone underground."

"This is the ghost cave left by the three kings."

Lu Tong felt sad.

Ghost caves and tunnels, the layout left behind by the ghost town back then, are still in great use after changing their owners.

"Coming."

Queshenpeng suddenly spoke.

A flash of pink appeared in the light mirror, and a large stream of phantom smoke was emitted from the cave. A large group of people, foxes, wolves, tigers, etc. swarmed out, wrapped in black smoke and killed towards the crowd.

When the ice spear fell, several more tall gods rose up in the cave.

The gods have different appearances, some have fish heads and human bodies, and some have bird-like human faces. They all exude divine power, as if a gust of wind blows, large thick clouds dissipate, and half of the ice spears disintegrate directly.

"Block the spiritual energy."

"Yes, the gods imprisoned the spiritual energy and dispersed the source of the ice spear. The Young Fox Kingdom has already taken countermeasures, and the Ji Kingdom may not be able to win."

“A few little gods can’t stop the power of God.”

"Not necessarily, I heard that Zuntian Divine Realm has invested a lot of money this time."

While the few real people were talking, there were more than a thousand corpses lying in the mirror, and dazzling scarlet lumps appeared on the snow-white ice.

Lu Tong's mood gradually sank.

You don’t know until you compare. It’s only after comparing that you can see how big the gap is. The total number of people on Yanhou Island can only withstand this kind of fighting scene three or two times.

As for Young Fox, there are nearly a thousand large and small ghost caves in total.

"Where is the Nascent Soul Realm?"

"It's not the time yet."

Yun Ao was also moved. He drank a glass of wine and said: "The fight between big countries is different from that of small countries. The Nascent Soul realm is easy to move, and all the competition is for national strength."

Lu Tong thought for a moment and said, "Are you afraid of the powerful method?"

"Not bad."

No matter whether it is a big country or a small country, the great power will surrender three times.

Small countries are weak and often need the leader of the country to personally fight. As a big country has a profound foundation, its leader will not take action easily until it is at the end of its rope.

The scenery in the mirror changes.

A phantom fox, one foot and a half long, hid in an ice cave and cast illusions, trapping a group of Jiguo Tao soldiers and causing them to kill each other.

Then it changed again.

A group of Jiguo monks, wearing ice armor, holding ice shields in their hands, and holding orbs between their eyebrows, looked like a walking ice wall, rushing into the cave together with thousands of ice spears.

Then another change occurred.

On Jieshui Lake, a star-colored spiritual whale half jumped out of the water and was frozen in mid-air, with several groups of figures surrounding it digging a **** hole.

Then...

After changing again and again, there was no longer a large expanse of white snow in the mirror, replaced by streaks of messy blood.

Lu Tong felt bored.

Suddenly I remembered an old incident. When I transformed into a Bactrian camel, I fought with hundreds of wild beasts in the yard.

This situation is no different from that time.

"The struggle between great powers is not external, but internal."

A murmur suddenly sounded in my ears.

Lu Tong looked at Yun Ao.

Yun Ao lowered his head and said: "The old gentleman said that to achieve a great country, you must be considerate of all the people. Only when the country is strong and the people are strong can it be called a great country."

Lu Tong blinked and vaguely guessed Yun Ao's problem.

The country not only refers to the country of Shu, but also refers to the ruler and officials within the country. They take advantage of the people. No matter whether it is a big country or a small country, all the officials in the country are strong.

Strengthening the people is as difficult as ascending to the sky.

A country's interests are limited, but its people's hearts are endless. When hundreds of officials take advantage of the people and compete with the people for profits, it is very easy for the country to become strong and the people to be weak.

If the people are weak, it is easy to fail in foreign wars. In the end, the country will be destroyed and the people will perish.

"Hey."

Yun Ao sighed and said: "Shu Country is very rich, but the wealth is not in me, let alone the people. 20% of it is in Shelu, 20% in Feiguan, 10% in Mingfeng, and half in Yaowei. . I and the people of Shu Kingdom together account for 45%."

Lu Tong glanced at Que Shenpeng.

I am afraid that many of the remaining 45% belong to Que Shenpeng.

"You want to attack them?"

Yun Ao smiled, shook his head and said: "They are so powerful, how can they move lightly? If you can't move them, you can only make profits from outside."

Yun Ao looked at Lu Tong and said: "From now on, I want to monopolize all trade in Wangguo. Whether it is magic weapons, medicinal herbs, or grains and fodder, it must go through the Dashu Chamber of Commerce."

"Want the country to support the country of skills?"

Lu Tong let out a breath.

Looking at the blood and corpses in the light mirror, I felt that this bloodless fight was no less impressive than the outside.

"They are the people of Yangshu Country."

A few thoughts came to Lu Tong's mind. He looked at Yun Ao and suddenly said: "Do you still remember the underworld?"

"Remember."

"Back then, the underworld also used the mortal world to support the underworld. You should be very clear about what happened next."

"Will you take action against Shuguo?"

Lu Tong slowly shook his head and said: "There is no choice. Anyone who is forced to take advantage of Shu State will be angry, and the public will be indignant. If I want to be the leader of the country, I can only follow the trend."

"How can a dignified person be manipulated by ordinary people!"

"How can the majestic ruler of the country be constrained by hundreds of officials under his command?"

The two looked at each other.

Yun Ao tightened his lips, took a breath, and said: "For fifty years, Wangguo will provide me with profits for fifty years, and then I will help you become the leader of Wangguo."

"The king has long been in my possession. ~IndoMTL.com~ Lu Tong took out a jar of wine and drank it in a big gulp.

There are only two roads left in Wanguo.

One is to seek refuge in Linguo and merge with Young Fox, Xuelian, or even Jiguo; the other is to change the country's leader after the next war.

Lu Tong is fully confident.

No matter what price the neighboring countries offer to the Jue family, his conditions must be more favorable, even so generous that no one has any reason to refuse.

Yun Ao picked up the wine glass, drank a glass, and said: "After this time, the young fox's vitality will be greatly weakened. If Ji State retreats, they will definitely annex Wang State, and you will have nothing by then."

"Lu still has the strength to fight."

Lu Tong dropped the empty wine jar.

Que Shenpeng has been sitting next to him, shook his head and said: "Why is it so? There are not only Shu Kingdom and Wang Kingdom in the world. Besides, Young Fox Kingdom may not be able to survive this disaster. If it loses, wouldn't it? A good piece of fat?"

The two of them were speechless.

Lu Tong looked into the light mirror.

The scenery in the mirror changes drastically.

The phantom smoke rose up and spread everywhere, dyeing the small half of the mirror pink.

A red heart the size of a pavilion floated at the entrance of the cave, swelling and shrinking. The monks and monsters around it seemed to be going crazy, not distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy.

Illusion, illusion breaking, ice magic, ice breaking...

As a monk in the sky activated the jade talisman, two oxen, dragons and beasts ran over each other, and humans, foxes, tigers, etc. all turned into a piece of flesh.

Lu Tong looked at the spirit in the mirror and said, "Can you rest your spirit in Jieshui Lake?"

Yun Ao turned his head slightly.

Que Shenpeng asked: "Nurture divinity?"

"Yeah."

"Of course you can, but the spiritual land is rare and it would be a waste to use it to nourish your spirituality."

"Not in vain."

Lu Tong shook his head, pointed into the light mirror, and said: "Trade with the Zuntian Chamber of Commerce, bribe Yongwu, and break through the Young Fox Kingdom together."

"What?"
