The Dutian Lingguan Road that started from the Taoist soldiers

Chapter 72: Clearing the Wasteland
"Why?"

"Haven't you managed to hold on in the Half-Demon Village for so many years? Why did you come to me at this time? Why do you think that things will get better if you follow me?"

Wu Yong stood up slowly. His handsome figure was in no way inferior to the sturdy man opposite him, and he looked even more oppressive.

"Because of you!"

Pei Qinhu did not avoid or conceal anything.

"You promulgated the Law of All Spirits and armed the militiamen of the Great Wilderness with magic arrows. They already disliked us, and since then they have ignored us even more."

"Half-demons are not good at farming. Many of them are not good at fighting due to blood defects. Even if we, who are a bit stronger, try our best, it is still difficult to support these thousands of half-demons all year round."

"The people of the Great Wilderness now have magic arrows, but they won't sell us food or linen clothes, and they don't have any iron tools."

"If this continues, our lives will become increasingly difficult, until we end up becoming bandits? Bandits?"

Pei Qinhu shook his head. In the past few months, the village that originally needed them to provide some protection had stopped providing them with food, and he couldn't rob them.

The arrows were as powerful as thunder and as loud as the collapse of the sky, but they were definitely not something they could block head-on. Even if they used force, it would be difficult now.
After much thought, the only way out is in this city!

"Well, how many of you half-demons are there now?"

"I have heard that some half-demons have defects. For example, a deer half-demon has hooves for its feet. It has good jumping ability, but its natural balance is extremely poor. It is difficult for it to run on two hooves, and it hurts its feet if it stands for a long time."

"For example, a snake-like demon has no lumbar spine to support it, so its upper limbs are extremely weak, and its lower snake body is slightly weak."

Wu Yong knew quite a bit about this half-demon and had even read ancient books on the subject.

Generally speaking, most half-demons have only half human body and half demon body. In many cases, half-demons lose all the advantages of both races.

"There are still more than 8,000 half-demons in the village, and about 800 strong men capable of fighting."

"The deer half-demon is not good at charging, so I will train it to jump and throw, and I will train it to be a spear thrower. The snake half-demon has weak upper limbs, so I will refine its venom, and I will train it to be a poison master. The crane half-demon is not good at strength, so I will strengthen its muscles and bones and train it to be a scout."

"Half-demon takes the extreme blood of both parents, so they can follow this path of extremes. If they are born with deficiencies, they can make up for them later. At least, they can survive!"

This strong man, Pei Qinhu, actually has such knowledge?
Wu Yong raised his eyebrows, but he looked at him with a little new respect.

"Since you have come to me, I have also heard about half-demons, so of course I can help you choose one. If you consider yourself human, then I will treat you like a normal person. If you consider yourself not human, then I can't do anything about it."

"But I want to know, you, what do you want, what can you bring?"

Picking up the teacup with his right hand, Wu Yong turned around and returned to the main seat. He glanced at Pei Qinhu with his dignified eyes. The chilling light seemed to pierce through him to see what he was thinking.

Pei Qinhu didn't have time to be happy before he broke out in a cold sweat after being frightened by Wu Yong's scrutiny.

He was quite resolute. He put his hands in front of his chest, crossed them, and took hold of his sleeves and tore them apart with force.

It was with this tear that the half-demon, Pei Qinhu, finally revealed his full appearance. His muscles bulged as if they were cast in steel, his arms were like tiger claws, his feet broke through the straw sandals and turned into animal feet, and from under his thighs swung a several-foot steel whip, which turned out to be a tiger's tail.

The most ferocious among the monsters - the tiger half-monster!
Pei Qinhu no longer concealed his true form and a murderous aura rushed towards him. His whole body showed signs of long-term cultivation and training, his muscles and bones resonated, and in terms of power, he seemed to be even more powerful than the caged Tiger Mountain King who was several feet taller than him.

"I am trying to survive in the wilderness. My tribe is not good at farming and raising livestock. In order to survive, the half-demons have to constantly train their evil bodies to gain some strength."

"Serving the Immortal Lord with all his might, I should be able to be a guard for a battalion!"

Half-demon, practicing the military doctrine of the various schools of thought, forging a demon body, and mastering martial arts, but still has some human nature, able to build a village to support the elderly and the weak, and often picks up abandoned half-demon children in the wilderness.
"How about this, you half-demons choose a dangerous place, but be careful to avoid places that are swept by the strong wind period. From now on, one more township will be added to the seventy-six townships in the southern wilderness!"

"If your village is an exception, not good at farming, and not good at raising animals, you should carefully consider how to make a living. Will the whole village support you? Or will you support the whole village? But what if you are old and powerless in your later years?"

"You should think carefully about how to make a living in the future. There is one more thing. Half-demons and the humans of the Great Wilderness have slightly different habits and habits after all. It is not suitable for them to live together. There are the most disputes between the territories."

Wu Yong thought about it for a moment and saw the problems that the half-demons in this village were facing: being excluded, having no productivity, and not being able to understand the customs.
I am afraid that even if we build a village for them, they will still have to go through many difficulties!

After receiving this promise, the tiger half-demon immediately knelt on one knee and said:
"About 80 miles west of the Southern Wasteland is the outer periphery of Panshan. In the middle is a Jingni Gorge that can protect against strong winds. Behind the gorge is a small path that leads directly to the West Panshan. There are fruit trees and fertile land, and in front of the gorge is a large river."

The fruit trees and animals in the old forest on the mountain and the fish in the river at the foot of the mountain are enough for the half-monsters in this village to survive.

"I have wanted to take this canyon for a long time, but was blocked by Tiger Mountain Lord several times. Now Tiger Liao has surrendered. Please, Immortal, establish a settlement for us in Jingwei Gorge."

Pei Qinhu was particularly angry when he talked about this. As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. The tiger king of Panshan Mountain would not let him, a tiger half-demon, get close to him. He led people to the canyon several times, and all the extra half-demons were killed by the tiger king.

After that, it was left unresolved!
"The mountain stretches for two hundred miles, and hunters from all the villages still hunt under the threat of mountain kings. How can you occupy the entire village? I'm afraid the militia from all the villages will surround you with bows and arrows the next day!" "Let's settle down in that gorge first. When the immortals go west to expand the wilderness for thousands of miles, they will mark out a sacred place for you."

"You go and start the construction. The city will notify all the villages. Open another village in Jingwei Gorge and call it Qinyuan Village. Half-demons and humans are connected by blood. This is your law."

"I will ask the city to allocate 20,000 pieces of clothing, silk, shoes, socks, and daily iron tools to you. You should discuss this carefully with the city's military chief."

"Within ten days, bring your two hundred men to the city to await orders. I will prepare weapons and armor for you, as well as talismanic arrows. At the end of the month, we will clear the wasteland, and you will be the vanguard."

"Go!"

Wu Yong seemed a little annoyed and waved his hand. A Taoist in a green robe pushed the door open and came in. He bowed lightly to Wu Yong, and then his blade-like eyes swept over the body of the tiger half-demon.

He nodded gently and said, "Come with me. My name is Jin. If you have any difficulties on your way to the village, just come and find me."

While talking and giving instructions, he led the half-demon out of the hall.
After a long time, black mist spread in the hall, and there was a flash of blood. Two figures, one black and one red, landed beside Wu Yong.

When Yin Erlang and Xue Shen Zi were refined into evil spirits, they were stamped with the idea that human cultivation is supreme in the Dao Court. The matter of establishing a half-demon village seemed to have touched their nerves, and they reacted violently.

"Zongzi, what you are doing is not in accordance with the principles of Jiuzhou!"

"Yes, Zongzi, if the Dao Court finds out about this, you will be severely punished."

Blood God Son and Yin Erlang successively opposed it and were not happy to establish this half-demon hometown.

But Wu Yong was extremely persistent.

"This Qingyun Realm does not practice war and there is no immortal sect or Taoist sect to protect it. These three cities and hundreds of villages are still protected by the Jing family."

"There are many cases where humans are kidnapped by demons and demons are raped by strong cultivators. Behind the origin of every half-demon is a tragic past."

"At least they have the blood of the Great Wilderness people in them, right? They speak human language and do human things, so we should give them a chance to survive."

"I will write a letter to Yunmeng Jing Clan and explain the reason behind this!"

On this point, Wu Yong had his own persistence. Even if the half-demon village was full of old, weak and sick people, he would be able to protect them.

Let’s see if the tiger half-demon Pei Qinhu is worthy of his protection!
These are just mundane chores and minor incidents, not worth expending too much energy on.

Wu Yong took out a large stack of talismans from his sleeve and laid them out on the table one by one. The stewards who came in slowly from outside the hall stood aside with bated breath.

"I sent people to buy this yellow talisman from the shops in Yunmeng Fairy City. It is a soul-binding talisman. I only need to strike it at the sea of ​​consciousness of the ferocious beast to immediately take its lifeblood. I can use magic to command it and make it my servant."

"Recently, I have gained a lot in the field of spirit and soul, so I made some improvements on the yellow talisman and got this green soul-binding talisman. It is attached to the spirit and soul, but it is much more dangerous than the yellow talisman and can control big monsters in the foundation-building stage."

"Two thousand yellow talismans and one hundred green talismans. An ordinary Taoist priest cannot use them. They must be managed by a sorcerer."

"Who among you is willing to volunteer to take on this mission and lead this battalion of ants during the Western Expedition?"

Wu Yong piled the two stacks of talismans together, glanced at the sorcerers, and asked.

But no one answered.

There are more than twenty Five Horse Pagoda Locks in front of them. If such a heavy weapon is handed over to a Qigong Taoist, there must be one or more sorcerers as the commander-in-chief. Who wouldn't want to supervise more than twenty heavy weapons of the Soul Dao?
If you take on the task of binding spirits, then it will be meaningless compared to being the Governor of Buddha!
"Well, Taoist priest, let me do it. After all, I know a little bit about talismans, and I also studied this soul-binding talisman when I was young."

An old Taoist in a white robe stepped forward, bowed, and accepted the task.

The old Taoist also knew that his age, Taoist skills, and fighting skills were not top-notch, and he was not considered Zongzi's confidant. There was no hope of becoming the commander of the Five Horses Buddha. It would be better for him to accept the order and study Zongzi's improved new talisman at the same time.

"Manager Xu is mature and prudent, I feel at ease with you handling this matter!"

Seeing the old Taoist coming out to receive the order, Wu Yong felt very relieved. He put the talisman into a mustard seed bracelet and handed it to the old Taoist. He patted the old Taoist's shoulder lightly, turned around and called on the other Taoists.

"You lazy bastards, all of you want to hold on to the Five Horses Pagoda, what's that?"

"If we conquer the Southern Continent this time, whoever among you can master the Gangsha skill early will be rewarded with a magic weapon from my palace!"

"Let's go, let's go. Pick out more than a thousand local warriors, and in ten days we will march westward and wipe out all the land in the five thousand miles ahead."
