Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 699: Mountains and rivers
"An earthquake?"
"Get down quickly!"
"Don't make any noise, everyone lie down, don't run around, otherwise your death will be in vain!"
In Liang Yaozheng's country, from south to west, from west to east, every blood tower is crowded with people.
"Rumble..."
A long series of very dull loud noises came from deep underground.
Soon, the ground began to shake.
An invisible wave of air surged from the ground and shot straight into the sky. In an instant, all the clouds within hundreds of miles dissipated.
"Boom!"
The shaking gradually intensified, and cracks gradually opened on the ground.
"Poof!"
In several corners such as the southwest and southeast, a fountain of water gushes out.
The rolling river flows freely and spreads in all directions, flooding countless fields and rushing near villages and towns in the blink of an eye.
"Get up!"
A golden **** with an eagle head and a snake body flew out, waved his hand, and mountains and rivers rose from the ground, leading the river water to the north.
"Boom!"
Thousands of gaps opened up at the source of the Mi River, water surged out, and the Mi River broke free instantly, like a silver dragon escaping from its trap.
"Hey."
A sigh sounded in the sky.
Baorong looked at the ruined cave and said, "It's a pity that the medicinal fields that have been cultivated for hundreds of years are all destroyed."
Lu Tong stood next to him and said: "You can't build without destroying. After the Bu family moved away, you had the fire mouth and the water cave all to yourself. The water and fire in the new cave are harmonious, which is several times better than before."
"Where did the Bu family go?"
"Shu Book City."
Lu Tong looked into the distance.
The mountains and rivers were broken, but as the water flowed through them, they were repaired again.
This time the mountains and rivers have been greatly changed, and it is not just the mountains and rivers that have been changed.
There is also Qiangwu Tower, which changes fields and crops, completely sweeping away the foundation of Baishan to facilitate follow-up actions;
There is also Shushuxian Ship, which took this opportunity to open an inlet in the north. Shushuxian Ship was parked outside the inlet to block the undercurrent and create a large new paddy field;
There is also the Bu family. There is a large weapon refining array in the Shu Shuxian ship. The Bu family moved it to the ship, which not only facilitates the weapon refining, but also can use the formation eyes to check and balance the Bu family.
"Boom!"
The air flow in the sky turned sharply, and after brewing for a long time, it gathered into dark clouds. With a roar, heavy rain poured down.
Yongnuo's body is like electricity, and he brings Pingfeng, Jiumu Yuan, etc. to open rivers, move mountains, and cultivate fields.
"The king."
Jue Tianniu flew from a distance, looked in the direction of Xuelian Kingdom, and said, "Someone is spying."
"Go and see."
"Yes."
Jue Tianniu jumped up and flew away.
After a long time, nearly half of the land of Liangyao Zhengguo turned into a turbid quagmire.
The dark clouds in the sky dispersed.
Hundreds of river turtles emerged from various water springs. The giant blue turtles rolled up layers of ripples and followed the river all the way north. The swamps they passed quickly turned into clear waterways.
Great things have happened.
Lu Tong withdrew his eyes and returned to the Purple Air Palace.
Outside the hall, Ji Baobao stood alone, wearing a colorful tiger robe, with many water stains remaining on the robe.
"Master."
Lu Tong glanced at it and entered the hall directly.
Ji Baobao followed in and shouted again: "Master!"
"What's wrong?"
Ji Baobao opened his mouth, showing a mouth full of fangs, and said: "Xiao Longting said that after this time, all the mountains, forests and fields will be taken over by Liangyao Zhengguo, and the things from our Hushan can only be turned into talismans, elixirs, etc. , and will be returned year by year by Qiangwu Tower."
"Yeah."
Lu Tong raised his eyelids and said, "What's wrong?"
Ji Baobao was very dissatisfied and said: "We paid for those things with our lives, why should we take them away for nothing!"
"Who said it was free?"
"No difference!"
Lu Tong frowned.
Ji Baobao was not afraid, and said: "There are not only living people there, but also dead people's property. They died for the country and relied on the few acres of thin farmland they earned with their own lives to feed their children. Now Xiao Longting has taken a step back. Strangling to death!"
Lu Tong looked at Ji Baobao and said, "Are you here for the living or the dead?"
"Dubai, I can't let my men die in vain, nor can I let the living ones fight in vain."
"What about yourself?"
"For myself too, no one can do it in vain."
Lu Tong grinned and said, "Tell me, what is a wasted death, a wasted effort, a wasted effort?"
"If you are cheated, your death and your efforts will be in vain."
"If you take away a few acres of land, you are a liar?"
"Yes."
Ji Baobao made up his mind to come forward.
Lu Tong shook his head and said: "Then Qiangwu Tower will issue a military salary every month. Is this considered a lie?"
"Forget it."
"From now on, the children of monks from Baishan can enter the academy for free. Is this considered a lie?"
"The academy is originally free."
"No longer. From now on, only literacy will be free. If you want to practice the "Neither Human nor Demon Sutra" and the magic of transforming demons, you must take a test and pay money."
"That..."
Ji Baobao was stunned for a moment, then looked anxious and said, "I didn't even need money before."
Lu Tong smiled and said: "Yes, someone paid for it in the past, but if you don't do so in the future, you can only pay for it yourself. You can't take advantage of decades. If you don't take advantage, you will suffer a loss, right?"
The situation has changed.
In the past, when the country was poor and the people were weak, they had to give whatever they could. Now that the country is strong and the people are prosperous, we must find ways to get the people's money back so that they can continue to work hard.
Ji Baobao was silent for a while and said: "Xiao Longting took away our land and used our money."
"So, that doesn't count as cheating?"
Ji Baobao didn't speak, but he was still very dissatisfied.
Lu Tong calmed down and asked, "Who asked you to come?"
"I did it myself."
"There are dozens of Mountain Masters in Baishan Mountain. Why don't others come, but you are the only one?"
"They dare not, they only dare to complain behind their backs."
"Don't you dare to do dozens of them?"
Ji Baobao tightened his lips.
Lu Tongtong: "Don't be anxious when something happens. I rushed over as soon as something started to happen. It's okay this time. What if I encounter an enemy next time?"
"When I get to the battlefield, I will be careful to distinguish myself."
"I'm just afraid that by the time you realize where the 'battlefield' is, it will be too late."
Ji Baobao gritted his fangs and said: "Master, I promised all my subordinates that I would lead them to make meritorious deeds and become rich together. I can't break my promise and get rich."
"Still anxious."
Lu Tong shook his head and continued: "Hundred mountains are the foundation of a country, how can you cut off an arm? If you want to make a move, you might as well wait a few more days and see Xiao Longting's arrangement before coming over."
"Yeah."
Ji Baobao responded.
Lu Tong waved his hand and said: "Go, the people below are still waiting for you. Remember that you are the master of the mountain. No matter what happens, only if you don't mess up, the people below will not mess up."
"Yes."
Ji Baobao bowed and took a few steps back.
Outside the hall, Lu Tai stood nearby. When he saw Ji Baobao coming out, he immediately bowed and saluted.
"Sister."
"Get out!"
……
"Master of the country, Baochuan sent an envoy and is willing to give us a Nascent Soul inheritance in exchange for our help to help the Blood Refining Kingdom change the country."
Xu Ling handed over a letter of credentials.
Lu Tong stared at Xu Ling, took the certificate, glanced at it, and said, "Wuxiong, is this the method practiced by King Jing?"
"Exactly."
The Baolian Sect uses demon blood to fortify the body, and several sect inheritances contain corresponding methods of transforming demons, including Sleeping Salamander, Xishi, Wuxiong, Sanshanling Niu, etc.
Among them, the sleeping salamander is the strongest, followed by the creek lion, and then the other monsters.
Lu Tong looked down at the letter and said, "Do you think I should agree?"
"It shouldn't be."
Lu Tong raised his head and asked: "Why?"
"Returning to the country, no one can do this except us. You can continue to increase the price."
"How much to add?"
"At least... at least we need to add another inheritance."
"Just add one more thing?"
Xu Ling paused for a moment and said, "The king is unwilling to trade?"
Lu Tong did not answer, put down the letter, remained silent for a moment, and said: "After this incident, how much strength do you think the Blood Refining Kingdom still has?"
"Eight points."
"The fields are destroyed and there are countless refugees. How can we still survive such a disaster?"
"The refugees were deliberately caused by Baochuan, abandoning some ordinary people to preserve Taoist soldiers who could fight, so the strength of the Xuelian Kingdom was not greatly damaged."
"That makes sense."
Lu Tong nodded slowly and said, "Do you know why the Blood Refining Kingdom wants to change the country?"
"In order to deal with mildew."
"What do you think will happen if we don't help?"
"If there is no other way, Xuelian Country will inevitably suffer damage. If this continues, we can only continue to abandon ordinary people."
"How much wealth does Paochuan have that can be squandered?"
Xu Ling looked more cautious and said: "The king plans to attack the Xuelian Kingdom?"
"Is there any chance?"
"This matter is of great importance, I dare not speak out."
Lu Tong smiled and said: "It's okay, let's take a look first. Baoguo takes action first, and they will definitely not be able to bear it. Let's just watch and carve up the Blood Refining Kingdom together if we have the chance."
"Yes."
After Xu Ling agreed, he hesitated slightly and said: "Master, I heard that fellow Taoist Yun Ao was once the master of Shu Kingdom, but now he is the deputy palace master. It is very inconvenient to get along with him. How should I deal with it? ”
"What's the inconvenience?"
“She often inquires about secret matters, including the secret arrangements in various places such as Xuelian Country, Ji Country, and Bao Country.”
Lu Tong frowned, pretended to think about it, and said, "Do you know why she was allowed to enter the ceremony hall?"
"I don't know."
"To give Shuguo an explanation."
Lu Tong thought for a moment and said, "Don't offend me. Give her the hardest bone to crack. If she is willing to help, we will use her help to go one step further. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
……
The Kingdom of Shu.
Lu Tong and Yu Chao sit in a lotus flower, sinking under the water, floating slowly along the underwater undercurrent.
"The war is about to begin."
"Refining the country with blood?"
Lu Tong nodded, looked at the colorful lotus mark between Yu Chao's eyebrows, and said, "How much strength does junior sister still have after leaving the Kingdom of God?"
Yuchao smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Within God's Domain, I can easily capture Paochuan; within God's Kingdom, I can also block it alone; leaving God's Kingdom, I'm afraid I won't be the only enemy of Paochuan."
Lu Tong was a little surprised and said: "But it's not as good as before?"
"Well, the divine soul is connected to the divine realm, and the divine realm is connected to the divine kingdom. Now most of the divine soul, mana, etc. have been scattered to every corner of the kingdom of magic."
Lu Tong lowered his eyes.
Paochuan is a mountain. If you want to capture the Xuelian Kingdom, you must bring down this mountain.
Yuchao took out a blue flying sword about a foot long and handed it over: "Senior brother, this is the artifact I refined. It can command the water, and it should be able to somewhat restrict Baochuan's water magic."
"Thank you, junior sister."
Lu Tong put away the artifact and said, "I have something to ask my junior sister to come forward for."
"Brother, it's okay to say it."
"Zuntian Divine Realm has a profound foundation, and I think there is no shortage of demon-transforming methods. I need a few demon-transforming methods in the Nascent Soul Realm, preferably not ordinary monsters."
"Okay."
……
One month passed, and in a blink of an eye it was the second year.
After a black rain, countless black lines appeared in the crisscrossing river network.
Lu Tong stood by the river, picked a water potato and pinched it open. His heart was completely shattered when he saw the snow-white potato flesh.
Return to the Purple Air Palace.
Qin Zong paid his respects immediately and said: "Master, this is the first good harvest. I think we can waive taxes and let the people make up for last year's deficit."
The people of Liangyao Zhengguo were originally relatively wealthy.
A bout of mold destroyed less than half of it.
More than half of the remaining money was spent on trivial matters such as buying boats, renovating houses, and farming after the great changes in the mountains and rivers.
Lu Tong had other plans and asked, "Is there any money left in the treasury?"
"A little bit, we still have Shuishi City, Commercial Tax, Zuntian Divine Realm and other sources to fill in, which is enough to support the next harvest."
"Inappropriate."
Lu Tong shook his head and said: "The war is about to begin. We need to be prepared. The land tax will still be collected."
Qin Zong's expression changed slightly and said: "My lord, you must not do this!"
"Why?"
"A major change has begun, and it is not appropriate to start another war. The country's mountains and rivers have undergone tremendous changes, and the people have just settled down. Most of them are in poverty and are in urgent need of recuperation."
Lu Tong was silent for a moment and said: "There may only be one chance, and it will only make the people suffer for another year, so go ahead."
"Hey."
Qin Zong left dejectedly.
After a few breaths, Zhang Qiao entered the palace and said, "Master, what happened? Qin Zong asked me to come over to discuss the tax exemption with the master."
Lu Tong smiled and said: "I want to capture the Blood Refining Kingdom."
Zhang Qiao frowned and said, "My lord, this is not a good opportunity."
"Why?"
"First of all, the country is not yet stable. Secondly, I heard that Qiangwu Pavilion is practicing Baishan, deducing the coordination methods of various monsters, and the strength is not yet complete."
Lu Tong also frowned.
Opportunities are fleeting.
Even if you are not ready, you must act as soon as possible when you meet. Otherwise, by the time everything is ready, the opportunity will often be gone.
"I'm worried that in another year~IndoMTL.com~Xue Lianguo will find a way to deal with mildew."
"How does the king deal with Paochuan?"
"I'm going to invite King Zizhen."
"It is not a good idea to borrow the help of the demon clan. Lord, now that the country is prosperous, there is no need to take such a risky step. Besides, there are Jiguo and Baoguo watching around."
Lu Tongsheng hesitated a little, but was still unwilling.
When Muzhi started causing trouble, Liangyao Zhengguo was the first to deal with it, a few steps ahead of Xuelianguo. If you don't act now, you may lose a few quick steps.
"Go to Baoguo privately and ask them when they will attack Xuelianguo."
"Yes."
"Don't let Xu Ling know."
Zhang Qiao's expression changed slightly.
Lu Tong sighed and said: "Xu Ling and Baochuan still have contacts."
"Understood."
Zhang Qiao took a deep breath, suppressed the surprise in his heart, and slowly exited the Purple Air Palace.
That night.
While Lu Tong was having an affair with Jue Hua, the little blue bird said outside the door: "Master, someone wants to see you and is waiting in the Purple Air Palace."
"Who?"
Everything went wrong today, and Lu Tong was very upset.
After a moment of silence, the little blue bird's voice sounded again.
"Mrs."
Lu Tong calmed down for a moment, his annoyance disappeared instantly, and he hurriedly left the room and flew towards the Purple Air Palace.
The little blue bird has only one wife.
In the hall, Dian Si'er sat on the couch and said, "Master, the opportunity has come."
"What opportunity?"
"King Zizhen asked me to invite you to attack Baoguo together, and Xuelianguo will also attack together."
"What?"
Lu Tong's eyes widened and he asked doubtfully: "King Zizhen wants to attack Baoguo?"
"Yeah."
"Why?"
"Hey."
Dian Si'er sighed and said: "The water flows downwards. If the treasure country is not destroyed, if there are two more attacks of mold, the demon clan will be destroyed."
