The years when I explored the fairyland

Chu Zhou had to admit that he was still bothered by the escape of the old man Er Hu. He felt that it was wrong to let him escape after such a long time.

The walnut flying boat was one reason, but what else?

After self-reflection, Chu Zhou felt that it was because he had no means of tracking.

If he could lock the enemy thousands of miles away, even if the old man Er Hu escaped to the horizon, he could chase him to death!

Therefore, when exchanging again, Chu Zhou first valued the tracking technique, and the three he chose now were the best among them.

Among them, the "Thousand Mile Soul Chasing Technique" is the most standard tracking technique, which can be guided by the breath and point to the enemy's location. The principle followed is that wherever you go, you must leave a trace.

When this technique is practiced to the extreme, the maximum range of tracking can really reach thousands of miles away.

Any concealing means such as bathing, changing clothes, and perfume powder are useless, because a person's own breath cannot be changed.

The only trouble is that before using this technique, you have to use the previous technique to collect the enemy's breath.

Moreover, this breath is constantly weakening after the "Thousand Mile Soul Chasing Technique" is launched.

Under normal circumstances, if you can't catch the enemy within three days, it will be completely dispersed.

As for the "Bloodline Tracing Curse", it is a pure evil curse, which is to kill everyone without regrets. Its feature is that it can use blood as the source for tracing.

Just like the old man with the erhu, if Chu Zhou knew this technique before, he could cast the curse with a broken arm and blood, and he could not only trace himself, but also his blood-related clansmen.

Because of the mixed blood, of course it is impossible to track endlessly, but with the recipient as the source, three generations cannot escape.

Therefore, if you are used to killing the whole family, this technique is a must.

It is worth mentioning that this technique has an obvious "side effect", which is to identify parent-child relationships.

Under the spell, whether they are biological or not is clear at a glance.

The last ‘Differentiation of Spiritual Consciousness Mantra’ is not so much a spell as a skill that must be mastered.

The spiritual consciousness of a person is like the palm lines and breath. No matter how similar they are, they can never be exactly the same.

The ability that immortal cultivators must master is to identify the identity of the other party through the fluctuation of the soul.

In the real world of immortal cultivation, cultivators believe that the results of the spiritual consciousness exploration even exceed the five senses.

Of course, the ‘Differentiation of Spiritual Consciousness Mantra’ is not so simple to teach. It can even determine the strength, cultivation, and the nature of the other party’s skills through the fluctuation of the spiritual consciousness, and even transmit information.

Speaking of these three spells, Chu Zhou had the most difficulty learning this one. The reason is simple. The environment does not allow it!

There are only a few immortal cultivators around him, and there is a lack of people to learn from.

And these spells have opened up Chu Zhou’s mind. His choice should not only recognize the killing power, but also take into account other things.

So, he picked a few more spells.

For example, the "paper crane letter" is to fold paper into a flying goose. After casting the spell, the information can be transmitted. The only problem is that the distance cannot be too far.

For example, the "Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Technique" is to prepare in advance. After communicating with the same vibration, the message can be transmitted by magic.

After this magic is transformed into a talisman, it is the "Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Note".

Unfortunately, compared with the convenience of talismans, the consumption of magic is too large, and the distance of sound transmission is directly linked to the realm.

Moreover, there is a certain probability that the other party will not receive it.

After all, everyone is very busy. When sleeping and practicing, this sound transmission is like a mosquito buzzing in the ear, and it may be ignored.

Chu Zhou also chose a "Beast Language Listening Mantra", which can sense the emotional changes of birds and beasts to a certain extent, so as to better guide and tame them.

In fact, Chu Zhou envied the Tiancang Sect's taming of the goshawk. The transmission was too convenient. Chu Zhou also thought about directly exchanging for a "Basics of Beast Taming" and raising a group of spirit beasts.

He believed that what Jieyin Hall gave was definitely a legacy far beyond Tiancangmen, but after looking at the reserve of merit points, he chose to give up.

With a tight budget, he could only settle for the next best thing. This ‘Beast Language Listening Mantra’ was also a basic beast control technique, barely enough.

In addition, Chu Zhou also used the ‘Zhutian Yanfa Platform’ a lot, not only for deduction, but also for various experiments that came up with ideas in his mind.

For example, he felt that the ‘Cloud Climbing’ technique was convenient but too slow, so he wanted to combine it with the ‘Wind Summoning Technique’ or the martial arts stepping into the air method to create a more durable and more commonly used flying technique.

There was an effect, but it still needed to be tried continuously.

When the cultivation of the two ways of immortality and martial arts occupied all the time, when practicing techniques again and again became the norm, when body training became a daily must-do, when all the energy was occupied by cultivation...

Chu Zhou returned to a busy state, but unlike the resistance to dealing with trivial matters, he felt joy, fulfillment, and happiness.

He could clearly feel his progress, just like climbing a mountain, every step he took, every step was his achievement.

Occasionally, he would look down. Although he had not reached the point of "standing on the top of the mountain and looking down on all the mountains", he could see beautiful scenery everywhere.

Of course, Chu Zhou was practicing, and the entire Xuanzhen Temple was not idle.

Those inner disciples had their spiritual roots tested with the "Spirit Verification Method", and then they formally led the Qi into their bodies and embarked on the path of immortality.

Because of their vigorous Qi and blood, they entered the door quickly and were already trying the method of combining immortality and martial arts.

The outer disciples had also passed the stage of tempering their bodies, and now they were all condensing their strength and sensing Qi and blood.

This is a threshold. The pioneers have crossed it, but the latecomers are still struggling.

It is worth mentioning that the task system has been basically established, and the entire sect has become prosperous and full of vitality.

Of course, unlike the stability of Xuanzhen Temple and even Tianquan County, the outside world is not peaceful at all.

Especially Hongde County, most of the land has been occupied by the Qihuo Army.

The county magistrate's army of Hongde County, 30,000 soldiers under the command of General Hongwei, was defeated three times and kept retreating.

The Bingxi Sect is plugging holes everywhere, but the holes are getting bigger and bigger.

Many noble families have fled with their families. They took their tenants and slaves with them. Some fled to Botou County and some fled to Dongli County.

Some felt that these two counties were not safe either, so they migrated to Tianquan County.

These are also refugees.

But compared with the victims of Tianyuan Prefecture, they are more orderly and calm.

Chu Zhou's attitude towards these people is to accept them, collect a certain amount of protection fees, and then move everyone back.

It is difficult to say whether there are spies among them who have mixed into the Qihuo Army. It is absolutely not allowed to stay in Yanshui City, and even filling them in the three lines of defense is not advisable.

Therefore, the county magistrate Ji Mingqian directly filled them outside Baisha City and went to Sanhe Town. He cultivated land along the way, which can be regarded as another form of land development.

Because of the construction of the information channel, a lot of intelligence was obtained and it was very complete.

And by combining this information together, Chu Zhou roughly figured out the reasons why the Bingxi Sect retreated and Hongde County fell.

In his words, it was really a weird state of "the soldiers don't know the generals, and the generals don't know the soldiers"!

The system of this world is there. The martial arts sects do train masters, but the inherent model is destined to not have too many people.

For example, in the battle between Yunya Sword Sect and Wenxiang Temple, both sides almost showed their own old bases, but they only gathered a thousand people each.

This is already a force guarding the sect in a county. If you add relatives, slaves, maids, and chores, each of them can exceed 10,000 people.

But there are only so many who can fight!

On the battlefield, when there is no absolute gap, the number of people is extremely important.

Therefore, the Dayun Dynasty has set up county guards in almost every county, with a number ranging from 30,000 to 40,000.

Whenever there is a war, these soldiers can have a sufficient foundation to recruit soldiers and horses, equip weapons and supplies, and quickly raise a large team.

This is the most commonly used method, but it has the most obvious problem.

That is, there are enough people in the army, but not enough masters; and there are many masters in the sect, but there is no army that obeys orders.

In this way, the two cannot be integrated, and when they encounter a tough opponent, they are easily beaten to the point of losing their armor and armor, with countless casualties.

The Hongde Army and the Bingxi Sect fell into this vicious circle at the beginning.

The army masters were unable to defeat them and were beheaded from time to time, while the Bingxi Sect masters were able to defeat them, but they were besieged to death.

Of course, they were not stupid. After the initial panic, they quickly joined together.

However, the two were incompatible and had their own contradictions. After several head-on battles, they were still beaten back step by step, which was horrible.

On the contrary, the beggar army led by the Weeping Heavenly King was deeply tied to the Xuanyue Sect and the Red Lotus Society.

According to the secret methods of the two sects, they quickly increased their troops and became stronger and stronger.

In fact, this problem also existed in Botou County and Dongli County, but the situation in Tianquan County was better.

And this was due to the integration of Xuanzhen Temple.

Of course, although this system has its shortcomings, as long as the strength is strong to a certain extent, problems will become no problem.

Just like the Ba Zong!

The contemporary Ba Wang brought 18 masters and the disciples of the four major halls down the mountain, with a total of only more than a thousand people.

But they pushed forward all the way, killing anyone who stood in their way, and dispersing all the beggars along the way.

The Xuanyue disciples and the Red Lotus followers were either dead or disabled, and many of them couldn't even run away.

There are only nine of the so-called Twelve Heavenly Kings of Beggars left.

Until now, Xiong Kuohai is still wandering around Tianyuan Mansion, apparently wanting to find the real high-level leaders of the two factions to fight it out.

This action can only be described as "domineering and unrestrained"!

This is the crushing of absolute strength. When it really comes to this point, the number of people is really not a problem.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was March, the early spring season, and the busy farming season began again.

The whole Xuanzhen Temple has started a new crop of farming around it, and Chu Zhou is also tending to his own two acres of land.

The purple bamboo rice still needs to be cultivated continuously, but it is a high-yield variety, which he has already cultivated.

The taste is a little worse, but the yield of 800 kilograms per mu is definitely enough for all the tenants and farmers in Dayun to set up a shrine for him.

Of course, due to the quantity problem, in this first year, only the land under the jurisdiction of Xuanzhen Temple is planted with these fine varieties.

At this time, Chu Zhou was busy tending his own fields, loosening the soil and applying fertilizer.

This was a rare leisure time for him after practicing, but just when he was halfway done, the jade talisman on his waist kept shaking.

Chu Zhou's face changed, and with a casual touch, a jade talisman floated in the air, and Wei Fangjie's voice came from there.

Even if he tried to suppress the sound, Chu Zhou still heard the trembling in it. It was hard to tell whether it was fear or excitement.

"Big Brother, Big Brother, the beggar army has arrived at the city, and there are so many people that it is difficult to count."

Hearing this, Chu Zhou straightened his body, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his flashing eyes became more dangerous.

What was supposed to come finally came!
