You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 100: Marching North

On the third day after the lecture, Zuo Chen was about to leave.

Before leaving, he specifically called Xiao Changcheng over.

"The entire Xuzhou you have conquered will probably attract the attention of the world in no time. The neighboring vassal kings will probably not be too quiet. You must work hard to raise soldiers and collect food. Although the two golden bean generals I left for you are capable, they are few in number after all. You cannot rely on them alone."

Zuo Chen instructed Xiao Changcheng, and Xiao Changcheng nodded. His mind couldn't help but pop up what Coach Guo had told him about the general situation in the world in the past two days.

The two people who are most likely to attack Xuzhou now are King Wei of Youzhou and King Shou of Qingzhou.

King Wei is of a very high standard. He is the one who conquered the world with eight thousand cavalry. However, this tyrannical strength will naturally make other vassal kings wary. He is sandwiched between Xuzhou, Jingzhou and Kyoto. Because of this, King Wei will not act rashly.

If he gathers his entire army, the whole world will be in chaos, and when the fighting starts, it won't just be his business.

King Wei was well aware of this, so he acted very cautiously.

He controls the largest number of troops in the world, yet seems to have no desire for this world.

Given King Wei's current state, even if he discovered that things had changed in Xuzhou, he would not easily send his men over.

But Prince Shou was different.

Prince Shou is slightly stronger than Prince Kang, and further south is Prince Xuan.

He was no match for King Xuan in terms of ability, and could not suppress his own ambition, so he directed his spearhead at King Kang.

On the surface, they still maintain their brotherly love, but they do a lot of small things behind the scenes.

What about using the big lake to raise evil creatures and recruiting people from noble families to learn magical powers? It was precisely because of his mess in Qingzhou that King Kang became stressed, causing the master to take advantage of the opportunity and help King Kang come up with a more evil and damaging trick.

Then King Kang was killed by evil.

Of course, there is a lot of nonsense about the cause and effect relationship here. In the final analysis, it all comes down to the saying that in times of chaos and war, it is best to be careful.

After explaining a few things, Zuo Chen remembered the knife that was lost by Liu Laizi, and his expression became a little strange.

According to common sense, the knife that he had taken out at the beginning must have been covered in blood, and the Qi attached to it should have disappeared completely.

He didn't know why, but Zuo Chen always had a strange feeling in his heart.

It’s as if this knife is still circulating somewhere in this world.

After pondering for a few seconds, he finally decided to tell Xiao Changcheng:
"If the Prince of Shou comes to harass you, he may bring a special knife with him. That knife can cut through metal and iron, but if you pour a basin of blood on it, it will be scrapped on the spot. You should be careful then."

Xiao Changben originally thought that Zuo Chen would leave behind some military books or tactics, but he did not expect the Taoist priest to say such a nonsensical statement.

But this was the Taoist's idea after all, so he guessed that he must have seen it from observing the celestial phenomena last night, so he kept it in mind and prepared to have his men prepare two big black dogs. If Prince Shou really sent out some fierce general with a knife, he would pour the dog's blood on him.

should be effective.

After explaining all these things, Zuo Chen waved to the donkey not far away, and the donkey immediately came to Zuo Chen happily, rubbing its hooves against his side.

I haven't seen this donkey for many days. It seems to be well fed. Its fur is shiny and it looks energetic. Its two ears are standing upright. It looks more energetic than a human.

"You seem quite happy."

Zuo Chen turned over and sat on the donkey, and Caiyi also got directly on the back cart.

"Don't you want to stay and be the eldest aunt?" Zuo Chen asked Caiyi, "The people here all respect you very much. Xuzhou City is also short of manpower for reconstruction. With your ability, if you stay here, it won't take too long. You can enjoy the wealth and honor in front of and behind people."

"No way." Caiyi shook her head like a rattle: "It's too tiring to stay here. It's not as relaxing as being with the Taoist priest at all."

He blinked again and said with a smile:

"Besides, learning skills from the Taoist priest is much better than being an old lady! Even if I were given a mountain of gold, I would never change my seat on the donkey cart!"

"You think a lot. How can any god move a mountain of gold for you?" Zuo Chen said with a smile. He spread his hands slightly, and the golden boy and jade girl in the colorful sleeves jumped out and fell into the palm of Zuo Chen's hand.

The two kids rubbed Zuo Chen affectionately, obviously they hadn't seen him for a long time and missed him.

Zuo Chen also touched their heads and put the two little guys back into his sleeves.

At this moment, quite a few people had gathered at the entrance of the village, and the monk was standing among the crowd with the villagers whose souls had turned into spirits.

They all waved and said goodbye to Zuo Chen.

Zuo Chen also smiled and waved goodbye to them.

The donkey paddled and pulled the cart slowly forward. The figure became longer and longer under the sunlight, and finally disappeared at the end of the horizon.

Seeing Zuo Chen leave, Xiao Changcheng also put down his waving hand.

He turned around and looked at everyone, saying:

"Work hard, we have to make Xuzhou better and better. If the Taoist priest comes back and sees that we are still standing still, it would be a huge loss of face!"

Everyone laughed and went back to their posts.

Xiao Changcheng looked at the place where Zuo Chen disappeared twice, and finally returned to the village.

He also has a lot of things to do.

For Xuzhou’s current planning and for tomorrow’s food production.

……

Since the county magistrate returned, all matters big and small in Luoshan City have been back in his hands.

He wanted to refuse, thinking that he was unlucky and that if he became a ghost official, it would easily implicate the entire city. But the ghosts around him thought he was the most suitable and took him to court.

There was no other choice, so the county magistrate paced back and forth in the court, thinking for three or four days.

It was also his first time as a ghost official, and he was not quite sure what he should do.

When he was alive, he had to take care of food, clothing, shelter and transportation. After he died...

First of all, these ghosts in Luoshan don’t need to eat, and secondly, they don’t need to wear clothes. They can live in any house they choose. Some of the more naughty ones even like to hang themselves on the street to rest.

Row?
Where can they go?
My father told me that the Taoist priest also established a village full of living people, and we could indeed talk and interact in the future, but obviously not now.

After thinking for a while, the county magistrate really didn't know what to let these ghosts under his command do.

But he also knew that he couldn't let these ghost people continue to be idle.

After the evil ghost army was dealt with, there was no danger. On weekdays, these little ghosts seemed to have nothing to do but to play with the peach tree goddess, dancing around the peach tree, making the little peach tree confused.

The Peach Tree Goddess is growing peacefully there, how can she go there and cause trouble every day?

This is outrageous!

After much deliberation, he finally decided to train a group of capable and skilled people, take some special tokens from the mountain, and wander around Xuzhou city, looking for those homeless ghosts without graves, and fighting against those evil ghosts who bully people and bring disaster to the world. In this way, he would have fulfilled the obligations of this big city.

After making this plan, the county magistrate immediately ran to the back warehouse, took out some special paper, and took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, intending to write a ghost order to recruit a group of righteous ghosts.

But just after he got the things and returned to the main hall, he found that a stack of yellow paper and a thick letter had appeared on the table.

When he saw the yellow paper, he was startled at first. After making sure that there was no danger to him, the county magistrate moved closer.

After taking a closer look, I discovered that the letter was actually left by Zuo Chen!

The county magistrate hurriedly opened the letter and read the contents.

"This is... the City God's Law?!"

After reading it from beginning to end, the county magistrate realized that this letter was actually teaching him how to be a city god!
More than a hundred years ago, there were still City Gods in Daliang. There were even many rumors that the City God would appear to help people. But later, for some unknown reason, the number of City Gods became fewer and fewer. By the time he reached the age of the county magistrate, even the rumors about him were pitifully rare.

He didn't expect to see the City God's decree today, which really surprised him.

However, when he thought that the things were given by the Taoist priest, the county magistrate was not so surprised.

He had seen the immortal's methods with his own eyes, so the county magistrate would not be surprised no matter what he took out.

He looked at the talismans again and realized that they were treasures specially used to protect sneaky people. He put them away carefully and decided to use them when necessary.

"I have no way to repay the great kindness of the Immortal."

The county magistrate secretly vowed in his heart to manage Luoshan well and not let Zuo Chen down.

……

The donkey cart moved forward slowly, and Caiyi kept looking around on the road, marveling at the surroundings.

"After all the vegetation grows in Xuzhou, it will be quite beautiful."

Zuo Chen nodded in agreement.

When green plants and cistanche grow all over the mountains, the whole Xuzhou looks beautiful, bright and full of vitality.

This is the scene after Xuzhou's vitality was partially damaged by the wilderness. If there had been no disaster, Xuzhou would be even more beautiful today.

"By the way, Taoist priest." Caiyi blinked her eyes: "Besides looking for Xian'er, do we have any other plans as we continue to head north?"

"Maybe we can fight some enemies that even I find difficult to deal with."

After these words were spoken, Caiyi almost fell off the carriage.

What the hell?
Even the Taoist priest finds it difficult?
hiss!
Seeing Caiyi fall into worry, Zuo Chen was in a good mood.

He had felt like something was missing when he was acting alone before, and now he realizes that it really wouldn't work without someone to support him.

How boring!

Caiyi worried for a while, but finally put all her worries behind her.

Anyway, I haven’t encountered it yet, I’ll talk about it after I encounter it.

The car moved forward for a while, and Zuo Chen saw a boundary marker with the two big words "Youzhou" clearly marked on it.

Continue forward and you will reach Youzhou.

After the wheels entered Youzhou, Zuo Chen, who was sitting on the donkey's back enjoying the scenery, suddenly moved his ears.

He seemed to hear a faint humming sound coming with the wind.

Looking up, I felt that it was in the direction of the extreme north.

seem……

It was at the end of the horizon that someone was telling him something.

Calling him.
