I have been slaying demons in the Demon Slayer Division for thirty years

Chapter 365: Gathering of Luck (Part 2)

The sky is bright. read

A large number of monsters flew from the sky, including white cranes, black crows, gray eagles and green harriers.

When they got closer, they could see clearly that there was someone on the back of the bird and beast, wearing a strong sword and complete armor.

Phew!

The leading golden eagle let out a long cry, took the lead and dived to the ground, landing outside Tongshan Fort a moment later.

When the village chief saw the visitor, he asked loudly: "Is it General Liu Yi?"

"Exactly."

Liu Yi jumped off the golden eagle's back and waved out the Da Chu token.

Dachu is different from Daqian and Dashun. The village and fort are surrounded by wilderness. Only the demon king and the big demon have left the demon kingdom. The number of remaining demon beasts is no less than that of the human race, wandering around to harass the human race.

Fairies such as fox demons and flower charms often change their human form to trick the fortress gates into opening, causing a lot of casualties.

Nowadays, anyone entering the village must identify themselves.

According to what the Dachu official said, the village chief had verified that the token was genuine and quickly ordered someone to open the door. .

Liu Yi ordered his soldiers to rest where they were and entered the village fort alone.

"Yesterday, the Star King sent down an oracle that a demon king was killing humans. Your Majesty ordered me to come overnight to check. What are the casualties in the village?"

"Fortunately, there are Master Chen and...Master's Wife. The casualties are not large, but less than half of the residents in the village are already there."

The village chief once lived in the Demon City and saw many incidents of demons cannibalizing people, and the Dragon Clan was no exception.

Last night, I saw Ao Ying transform into a dragon to save the human race. I felt quite uncomfortable in my heart. I was grateful for Ao Ying's help in exterminating demons and saving lives, but I also hated all demon clans with utmost hatred.

"An offering found in the village?"

Liu Yi followed the village chief to the square and happened to see Chen Qing carving a stone statue.

"Brother Chen!"

"Brother Liu!"

When Chen Qing saw Liu Yi, his sad face softened slightly, and he kept carving in his hand, carving one by one according to Ao Ying's appearance in his memory.

The village chief immediately explained that Chen Qing and his wife had been living in the village castle these days, killing monsters and teaching Taoism.

"...The demon attacked last night, and Master Niang risked her life to stop it, so she had time to pray to Xingjun."

"Brother Chen, since you came here early, you should go to Chudu to practice!"

Liu Yi blamed: "Not long after Fengzhou was pacified, demon kings often appeared. If it were in Chudu, my wife would not..."

Chen Qing was silent for a moment and said: "Ying'er is a demon clan!"

"Um?"

Liu Yi was slightly startled and said, "Sorry."

He had partnered with Chen Qing before, and they were like-minded and treated each other as brothers. However, Liu Yi was not qualified to forgive and accept the demon clan on behalf of Dachu or the Twelve Sects.

The blood feud between the Twelve Sects and the Monster Clan from generation to generation cannot be resolved by simply distinguishing between good and evil.

Chen Qing slowly shook his head and had no objection to Da Chu.

Through the guidance of his master and Hongluan Xingjun, Chen Qing already knew that Ao Ying died due to God's plan.

As the carving knife fell, the Ao Ying stone statue came to life, as if it was resurrected.

"Brother Liu, if you want to serve the great Chu, can you recommend me?"

"That's natural!"

Liu Yi said happily: "The king wants to build a country and is recruiting strange people. Brother Chen is very lucky, and the king will definitely give him an important position to consolidate the luck of the court."

"Luck?"

Chen Qing wondered: "What does the establishment of Chu have to do with luck?"

"The king is the son of destiny. He once dreamed of a divine being one night and was awarded the divine sword of the ancient emperor."

Liu Yi explained: "This sword is a supreme treasure. It can gather the luck of officials and people, and condense it into the luck of the country to suppress everything. Therefore, people with prosperous luck must be used in important ways."

Liu Yi's luck is also extraordinary. When he embarks on the path of spiritual practice, he has a smooth journey.

The only one who failed was the Tomb of Taiyin. He encountered a true immortal and demon god, and was able to save his life and get a large amount of spiritual stones. It was already blessed by luck.

"I see."

Chen Qing put the stone statue into the magical artifact, then took out a stack of Taoist scriptures and said to the village chief.

"The poor Taoist will go to Chudu, and he will probably not come back in the future. These Taoist scriptures will be left in the village and recited every day, so as to preserve the spirit and enlighten the mind and not be disturbed by external evils."

There are several volumes of exercises and formulas in the Taoist scriptures, which can be read by those with superior talents to understand magical powers.

"Thank you Master Chen!"

The village chief and clan elders were very grateful to Chen Qing and said after discussion.

"I have nothing to repay. In the future, I will carve a statue of Master Niang and offer it in the ancestral hall. I will offer incense in the morning and evening. There will be no shortage of sacrifices during the New Year."

"Excuse me, old sir."

Chen Qing felt relieved when he heard this. Master promised to practice the Dafa of Reincarnation. If he thanks the merits of the incense, he will definitely have a good life in the next life.

"Master's wife died for us, so she should be worshiped as such!"

The village chief then looked at Liu Yi and said: "General, now there are less than half of the residents in the village fort. Please send the people here as soon as possible to prevent the village from being deserted."

"The number of forts in Dachu Village has exceeded 300. The number of people rescued from the demon country every day has rarely increased. They will be distributed in turns and will be much slower than before."

Liu Yi said: "When I return to the capital, I will inform the people from the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Nowadays, the human races rescued by the twelve sects from outside the territory are no longer resettled in Daqian or Dashun, but are sent to villages and fortresses under the rule of Dachu.

The village fortress was opened in the wilderness, and monsters roamed in all directions. Even if it was guarded day and night, it was still impossible to avoid the monsters hunting it.

Every once in a while, Dachu must replenish the population of the village fort, otherwise there will be fewer people living in the village fort, and the surrounding land will become barren again, which will inevitably breed more evil spirits.

"Thank you, General!"

The village chief looked happy. Favors are indispensable in any place. The general said that the Ministry of Revenue would not mind selling favors and allocating people to Tongshan Fort as soon as possible.

"General, can you please have more girls? All the men in the village want to marry their wives."

The clan elder on the side said: "The young men in our village are extraordinary. Master Chen teaches them knowledge. Not only can they read, but they can also recite Taoist scriptures!"

Liu Yi didn't have a tough and cold temper, so for Chen Qing's sake, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

All villages and fortresses in Dachu have more men than women. When allocating the population among households, they can only try to be as even as possible. They even communicated with the disciples of the twelve sects to give priority to women and children when rescuing people.

Women are scarce, children are highly malleable, and only men are useless.

After a while.

Chen Qing followed Liu Yi on the golden eagle, soared into the air and looked down at Tongshan Fort below.

It was not unusual at first, and you could vaguely hear the villagers waving goodbye. After rising into the sky, Tongshan Fort turned into a little yellow among the greenery.

The golden eagle flew more than a hundred miles, and Chen Qing saw another yellow spot on the ground, which was another village fort.

Liu Yi sighed and said: "People in each village have died one after another. I don't know when these villages and castles will be able to become one continuous piece!"

"The ancestors of the human race overcame thorns and thorns and fought against the heavens and the battlefield to this day, and we can do the same!"

Chen Qing understood Da Chu's strategy. By building village fortresses, he continued to squeeze out the living space of monsters until the entire Feng Continent turned into fertile farmland and became a humane country.

Half a day later.

A group of soldiers were on the outskirts of Cangsuyuan, and all the small towns originally built by clans and sects had disappeared.

There is only one huge city left, with two big characters written above the city gate, Chu City.

Liu Yi couldn't help bragging to Chen Qing that the deeds of King Xiang Xiong of Chu State were worthy of being called the illegitimate son of God.

At that time, Xiang Xiong led tens of thousands of people to live in Zhangjiabao. Before he could plan his future plans, three families came to surrender that night. They were originally dogs and horses under his command.

Their clan leader claimed that he saw Ziweixing coming to Zhangjiabao with his own eyes, which was a good omen!

As for why they were so lucky, all of them had bruises on their noses and faces, and their arms and legs were broken and their breath was weak, it was unknown.

Xiang Xiong had seen a lot of intrigues outside the territory, and was wary of these people and the Zhang family. It wasn't until they donated all the treasures and spiritual stones for free to build the city that they had no choice but to believe it!

After that, clans and sects came to seek refuge with Xiang Xiong every day. If they didn’t take him in, they would fall to their knees!

In just a few years, Da Chu was the only one left outside Cangsuyuan, and everyone else was a citizen of the Chu state.

"The King's legendary deeds are more than that!"

Liu Yi gushed: "I encountered a bottleneck in my practice. I went out to relax and picked up an elixir. I fought with demons and the magic weapon broke. The god gave me the most precious treasure..."

Chen Qing was stunned when he heard this. He was considered a lucky person, but compared to Xiang Xiong, he was simply unlucky.

"Hearing what you said, I hope to see the king as soon as possible."

Liu Yi said: "Now you should be in the study room to discuss matters with Mr. Sanwu, and then go and see him later."

at this time.

The study room of the City Lord's Mansion.

Xiang Xiong looked at the huge map on the wall, which showed Fengzhou and its surrounding areas.

Among them, Fengzhou is the most detailed. There are hundreds of ink dot marks on the southern boundary, which are where the village forts were built.

"Sir, according to the fortune-telling of Master Xuanji, the founding of the country is around the corner."

Xiang Xiong worriedly said: "It is so vast and sparsely populated, and it takes a long time to fly to the Qi Refining Realm between two village castles. How can it be convenient for the court to manage?"

Xuanji Zhenren is now the Great Chu Jiantian Si Jianzheng. He is the descendant of the mysterious Tianji Palace. His divination skills are extraordinary. He said that Xiang Xiong has a king and a king, and he traveled thousands of miles to join him.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry."

The old man in the study said: "Place the communication paper between all the villages and castles, so that communication can be smooth."

Xiang Xiong shook his head and said: "The communication spirit paper is precious, and its refining is complicated. It requires at least hundreds of pieces..."

The old man assured: "There is no need for the king to worry about this matter. I have already ordered people to refine it, and it will not delay the founding of the country. There are more than ten spiritual papers in one village and forts. Keep in touch with the surrounding villages and forts. If evil spirits invade in the future, you can also watch and help each other."

Xiang Xiong said: "Sir, you have worked hard. If it weren't for your help in recent years, I would not be able to sort out many affairs."

The old man said: "What the king has done is the most difficult thing, to rescue the human race from the demon country outside the territory, otherwise I will have no people to rule."

"If one day in the future, this king dies in battle, sir, he can ascend the throne..."

Xiang Xiong doesn't know how long he can maintain his destiny. Because the Twelve Sects have been rampant in recent years, destroying demon cities everywhere to save the human race, he has already formed enemies with more than a dozen demon immortals.

Even with the protection of Hong Luan Xingjun, there is no telling which day he will end up in the belly of a demon fairy.

Unlike Daqian and Dashun, Chu State has never been called a royal family. It is more like a tribe that pioneered the wilderness. The road is difficult and difficult, and the position of king can only be occupied by those who are capable.

Just as the old man was about to speak, a guard's report came from outside.

"Your Majesty, there is a Taoist who claims to be the Lord of Fengdu Ghost City and is here with his disciples..."

“Fengdu Ghost Town!”

Xiang Xiong was shocked. The ghost city was not a peripheral force in Cangsuyuan. The strong men in the city were not weaker than the True Immortal Sect in Cangsuyuan. How could they succumb to the unknown Chu Kingdom.

His mind was spinning. Xiang Xiong couldn't figure out the key points and said loudly.

"Please ask the real person to go to the front hall and talk about it!"

"Congratulations to the king for your help. I will take my leave first."

The old man bowed and left the study, then turned into light and disappeared.

…

Wulong Mountain.

Yunxiao Taoist Palace.

Sanwu woke up from seclusion, thought for a moment, and gritted his teeth to make up his mind.

"The old Taoist, despite his face, also asked the Patriarch to take action to support the founding of Da Chu!"

A few years ago, he participated in the Fairy Association and saw Xiang Xiong rescuing people while passing by Fengzhou. Sanwu felt admiration and left an incarnation to protect him secretly.

After Xiang Xiong unified Cangsuyuan, Sanwu incarnated himself and called himself "Mr. Sanwu of Wuyun Mountain" to advise him.

Sanwu was born in the royal family of Daqian. He lived for nearly three hundred years. He never ate pork and saw too many pigs running around. He handled the affairs of Dachu in an orderly manner. Xiang Xiong respected him as the prime minister of the country.

"The ancestor likes to drink wine and taste tea..."
