The Dutian Lingguan Road that started from the Taoist soldiers

Chapter 152 Penglai Events
After returning from outside the border, the daily chores have obviously started to increase.

During the two months since Wu Yong left, Danyang and Heishan counties each moved two branches of the Zhenling family from Youzhou here, which was in line with the ancestral system of one county with three families.

When Wu Yong came back, he did not have time to pay attention to the two counties.

The Taoist camp lost nearly ten Taoist soldiers in this battle. After a thorough investigation of their birthplaces, it was discovered that they were all from the Qingyun Realm.

Wu Yong was also quite annoyed. He was frightened by the divine talisman of merit of that day's general and did not have time to deal with it in the Qingyun Realm. He had to wait until next time to make it up to his family.

They only had time to give a proper burial to a few Taoists who had met with disaster during their practice, and to select their descendants, either to send them to a Taoist temple or directly to a Taoist camp.

Because of this, Wu Yong felt that the number of people in the Taoist camp was still a little insufficient, so he ordered all the young men of appropriate age in the clan who did not have the aptitude for alchemy, preferably those from good families, to recruit another fifty people into the Taoist camp.

As the number of descendants of the Wu family was not enough, more than 20 boys and girls were recruited from the He family in Danyang.

After all, the reason why Wu supported the He family was because the He family was a large clan in Danyang County. They might not have achieved much in the way of immortality, but the number of reliable young men from good families in the clan was extremely large.

The He family could not afford to support Taoist soldiers, so they could only recruit soldiers for their clan members to learn breathing techniques, strengthen their muscles and bones, and then work as Taoist guards, herdsmen, fishermen, and coral collectors.

But Wu can afford it!
Wu Yong called the old man of the He family and asked for twenty boys and girls. He also considered that the camp could focus on training the next generation of teenagers from an early age. He said that the camp's future plan might be expanded to more than a hundred people.

As a relative by marriage, the He family was naturally close to the Wu family, yet they maintained a certain distance. The Taoist soldiers from the He family were more useful in some aspects than the family's own sons.

After the group was expanded to fifty more people, Tongyi was handed over to several strong men and experienced Taoist soldiers in the Taoist camp for instruction.

Wu Yong also took the time to meet with You Xue and Ma Wen, the man who was briefly affected by the demon of Slaanesh and then killed hundreds of the six demons out of revenge.

The three of them stood together in the back hall of the Taoist residence.

"People always make mistakes. Since you have chosen to make amends, and your fellow Taoists have forgiven you, you don't have to take it to heart."

"But you have to remember that this is a shame for you. People won't fall in the same place again, right?"

Wu Yong was in opposition to the Taoist soldier named Ma Wen, and now he has been defeated and then re-established to become the sixth Yellow Turban Warrior.

Wu Yong gently punched the guy on the shoulder and smiled warmly.

"I saw that you were burned by the evil fire on that planet, and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, so you got some flame marks. But the fire evil is harmful to the body, and it's not good for your wounds and lungs."

"Let me help you heal this burn scar and subdue this fire evil!"

Wu Yong had a deep impression of this guy. After he lost his mind and fell into the evil way, the first thing he thought of was to snipe and kill a hundred more evil demons to pay back his debt. He was very brave and responsible.

But he took a step back, knelt on one knee, and said hoarsely:

"Fazun, don't worry about me."

"This evil fire that eats away at my heart day and night can remind me to be alert all the time. This dull pain from the scars all over my body can make me realize what sins I have committed."

The strong man with burn marks all over his body knelt on the ground with his hands clasped, but he was determined to refuse Wu Yong's offer to save him.

However, he did not dare to look directly at Wu Yong's head. As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yong stood in front of him in an instant, holding his shoulders with one hand to prevent him from bowing any further.

Don't let him fall any further.

"I brought you out of the East County Taoist Temple. This is your seventeenth year, right?"

"You asked me to stop caring about you, how can I stop caring about you?"

Wu Yong raised his hands to support the strong man, and there was no way he could resist his tremendous strength, which was comparable to that of a fourth-level Taoist general. He was almost lifted up in the air by him.

Then Wu Yong spoke soothingly.

"You twelve people... I was your senior in the academy, and now I am also your leader."

"I won't force you, but please don't say such self-destructive words."

"You can keep the scar and be alert all the time, but the Fire Evil is no joke. I still have a Golden Sun Rejuvenating Pill that I made in the past. You can take it."

"In the future, you must be vigilant and help the newcomers in the future."

"This Dao Camp is our vision since the Dao Academy announced the results. You must take up the responsibility."

Wu Yong threw the Golden Sun Pill into his mouth and patted him on the shoulder to encourage him. Finally, even this strong man became blurry-eyed and retreated in embarrassment.

Of the twelve soldiers who were as weak as quails back then, nearly half have now entered the second level, and the remaining few are on the verge of a breakthrough.

Wu Yong was actually a little dazed for a moment.

"Time flies by so fast. We were so disappointed when we failed the entrance exam to the Taoist Academy. How could we have imagined today?" How could we dare to expect the future?

You Xue stretched lazily, rested her hands on the table to support her frosty face, and sighed slightly.

"Haha, that's not entirely true. If it was a normal route, you would have just graduated from the Dongzhou Dao Palace."

“The journey has just begun!”

Wu Yong turned around, raised his teacup, and took a sip.

"However, you have also seen our opponents this time. The authority of the gods is too ethereal, and the demons and heretics are also extremely unpredictable."

"From now on, Daoying must have a concentrated will. Both cultivation and mind cultivation must be put on the agenda."

"Those evil gods' followers are indeed strange, but there are ways to counter them."

"I have the Seven Nightmare Suppression Techniques, the Forbidden Laws of the Grass Spirit, and the Nailhead Book... When the time comes, we will find an opportunity to practice some of them in the camp, and offer a witch spirit in the camp to fight poison with poison..."

Although these techniques are evil or even demonic techniques that require some cost, they can be very useful sometimes!
Wu Yong and You Xue secretly taught each other one evil magic trick after another. The Taoist principles and legal theories that made people dare not think deeply, as well as the price to be paid and the horrific consequences that would be caused, made You Xue frown.

"Wu... Fazun, where did you get so many forbidden techniques? They are strictly forbidden in the Dao Court, so don't make any mistakes."

You Xue looked at Wu Yong with some worry, not knowing if he had been stimulated by something, could it be on that planet?

Thinking of Wu Yong's unnatural expression at that time, You Xue felt even more worried.

"I know I know."

"Forbidden techniques are also classified. The ones banned by the Dao Court are those related to the lineage of witches and ghosts, and the summoning of gods from the previous era, in order to avoid summoning some giant creatures that are neither alive nor dead."

"There are still people practicing the art of witchcraft, the art of nightmare, and even the art of the sea of ​​blood and the art of human puppets in Jiuzhou."

Wu Yong gave her a reassuring look.

"It's just that I was really scared this time. I also think that some indigenous worlds also have indigenous gods who perform rituals and worship ghosts. If we encounter something like this time, good luck will not always favor you and me."

"We must be on guard against one of these countless possibilities."

"After all, which famous Taoist priest doesn't dabble in all kinds of Taoism?"

Wu Yong and You Xue had another heartfelt conversation. Wu Yong sorted out the seventh-grade Wu Ling divine scroll about the Wu Ling's ability to change, and selected many evil methods to give Daoying an insurance.

If it wasn't included in the Lingguan Baogao, he really wanted to practice a complete book of seven arrows!
Wu Yong returned to the East China Sea and is adjusting the direction of his future cultivation after experiencing that terrifying journey.

However, in the direction of Penglai Sea, the Yuan family and the Xian Kui Sect were really getting angry with each other.

One is a descendant of the Taiyin clan, proficient in all magical skills and magic; the other is a person who entered the Tao through a side sect and suppressed the orthodox one, and has been hiding from the world for thousands of years as a strange puppet.

Yuan Jiazi, the Taoist general has been borrowed, and the spiritual treasure has been sacrificed. If he fails to achieve results, where can he hide his face? When the fight gets exciting, he just ignores his face and competes with others.

The Immortal Puppet lineage has never been a person who would swallow one's anger. They have flesh and blood spirit puppets, transformation of living beings, Mohist organs, soul puppets, corpse puppets, Yin puppets, plague puppets, poison puppets, and witch spirits that enter dreams...

The Yuan family's son didn't care about his face and killed everyone in one fell swoop. The Immortal Puppet lineage used all its sinister means. You sent out a Taoist general and held a magic treasure, while I drove a fourth-level evil spirit and sat in charge of a puppet beast. It was another fifty-fifty fight.

However, this tactic brought disaster to the surrounding sea area of ​​tens of thousands of miles. The corpses of sea beasts were floating everywhere within tens of thousands of miles, and epidemics were rampant on all the islands.

This incident alarmed Yujing.

The General Affairs Hall of Yujing was considering that Penglai was, after all, located in the sea area and there were only a limited number of spiritual islands. It was unknown how many noble families could be accommodated at most.

The next news we received was that the two Penglai families had fought to the death, leaving no life in the battlefield within tens of thousands of miles!

Ok?
What does Penglaizhou mean?
A day later, the General Affairs Hall of the Daoting issued three consecutive golden orders, ordering a truce.

But the two of them were already blood-thirsty. What if I stopped and he didn't stop? What if I stopped and the other party beheaded me?

Instead of a truce, the two sides put all their efforts into killing all the lower-level monks on the opposite side before the Dao Court could make adjustments.

On the second day, the Yuxu Palace of the Taoist Court issued an order to recruit officials from the Western Extremes and the Eastern Sea Dao. The four Taoist temples of Taisu, Taiqing, and Taiyi in the north, southeast, and others worked together to stop it.

The General Affairs Hall is filled with a bunch of miscellaneous third-level Dandao Taoist officials and clerks. They can't be commanded by the upper clan, and the others won't cooperate.

There are four Great True Lords on duty in Yuxu Palace, and all of them are from noble families. That's the sacred edict!

As soon as this order was issued, all four officials moved and rushed to the center of Penglai...
