Destiny is ashes

Chapter 911 What a coincidence, you are here too
What Gu Yeqi was talking about was the matters concerning the restoration of order in Dachen after the frost disaster subsided.

Although the Frost Disaster was eliminated and the Chen Li side had no power to interfere due to the war, order should have been restored quickly on the border of Dachen. However, the officials and warriors who had distributed relief supplies and controlled the trading and transportation channels with the help of the Frost Disaster were unwilling to give up their power easily, and the reconstruction work was extremely slow.

Even the progress of reconstruction work after Mingjing's Nirvana was faster than that of Dachen, which had not experienced the war. Up to now, the border areas of the northern region such as Xishan are still in chaos, with all kinds of smuggling, robbery and bandits. Many disaster-stricken towns have not yet been rebuilt. God knows where the supplies and food dispatched by the court have gone.

During this turbulent time, the Tianyi Demon Cult naturally developed rapidly. Many mountain villages and remote towns would rather accept the blood tax of the Demon Cult than live under the corrupt order. However, the most eye-catching area is the area under the jurisdiction of the branch temple presided over by Bai Qinghan, the Xuanyin Goddess.

As the Xuanyin Goddess of this generation of the Tianyi Demon Cult, Bai Qinghan's actions have always been watched by all parties. Unlike everyone's expectations, Bai Qinghan's controlled area expanded very slowly, but every time she took action, she could subvert a big city.

Many times, in order to avoid direct confrontation with Dachen, the Tianyi Demon Cult would choose to expand from remote areas, using force as a shield in exchange for the loyalty of ordinary people and to gain manpower and resources.

However, Bai Qinghan chose to infiltrate the big city from the beginning. In the name of worshipping minor folk gods, he established mutual aid sects, controlled the streets by distributing supplies, and then used force to control them, replacing local gang forces, and then used gang forces to maintain stability.

A little porridge and a few eggs can be exchanged for repeated kowtows and gatherings. Presiding over funerals and taking care of the sick may seem troublesome and wasteful, but they have gained the power of the ritual doctor.

By eliminating and replacing local gangs, they gain the power to secretly use force and establish the basis for order.

With these foundations, the poor and helpless can also become the basic assets of the sect, those who are unemployed can be arranged to work, and the poor people who are despised by the masters of Dachen can also serve the cult in secret, or be sent to the rear to farm, or become spies and laborers.

To become a believer, one only needs to praise the Emperor of Heaven and come to the gathering at a fixed time. Not only does it not require any offerings from others, but it will also give some benefits.

But if one wants to become a member of the sect, he needs to offer his property, food, oil and house. It seems harsh, but it is something that cannot be snatched away in time, because members of the sect have the qualifications to practice martial arts. Even if they cannot use it themselves, their young children can be sent to be trained.

Bai Qinghan took over the grassroots construction and control that Dachen had given up. Before long, although he did not have actual control, several large cities on the border of Xishan were already in his hands.

The only problem is that other leaders of the Tianyi Demon Cult also began to imitate and learn from them, and their methods were even more cruel. They had the advantage of low human rights, and the temptation of blood pills could drive many people crazy. In this regard, Bai Qinghan's too ordinary and light-tasting "reward" seemed to have no appeal.

But even so, Bai Qinghan's reputation gradually spread in the martial arts circle, especially after she defeated several martial arts academy heroes from Xishan who wanted to come here to do justice and eliminate demons, and even defeated a guardian master who had his eyes on the sect's resources, proving that she was indeed the master of the stars.

"These are just suggestions from Senior Brother. He told me a lot of ideas. Although there are many problems in practical use, the ideas are correct."

Hearing Gu Yeqi's praise, Bai Qinghan lowered his eyes and said, "In the final analysis, it is Dachen himself who is not a good son. The people in dire straits will climb even if a spider thread is dropped. What's more, if I am really willing to lend a hand?"

"In the final analysis, it is only because I have the support of the Divine Religion that my share of resources far exceeds that of others, so I can use benefits to lure them in... while the Mirror Sect can create such a paradise from nothing."

She raised her head and looked towards the Tagu tribe town. Gu Yeqi looked around with her.

Clean and tidy streets, neat and vast plantations, laughing children, smoke rising from every household. Bai Qinghan narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at all this. She was a little lost in thought: "People who live here have neither urgent things to do nor responsibilities that they must fulfill. No one will urge them, nor will anyone blame them..."

"If the world could always be like this, even if I were asked to destroy Dachen, I would be happy to do it."

"How can it be so good?" Gu Yeqi laughed, but she also understood Bai Qinghan's feelings: "We can do all this because of the technology that Senior Brother brought from another world."

At this point, Gu Yeqi perked up: "Hey, speaking of this, you can really ask Senior Brother later - you guys should be short of labor right now, right? If you are willing to exchange spiritual materials, I think the sect shouldn't mind trading Yan Kui!"

Bai Qinghan's eyes lit up, but then he hesitated: "It's a bit hard to believe. I also know the method of Yan Kui. The Yan Kui in Tianji Mountain can work like a living person, but their intelligence is low. They can only handle logging, farming and digging. And they are expensive."

"Although it is a great help, I may not be able to use it in my situation."

“Not to mention…” At this point, Bai Qinghan turned his head and looked towards the direction of Tianyi Mountain: “This kind of puppet technology, if handed over to me, will definitely be analyzed by the Divine Cult.”

"This may cause trouble to Senior Brother." "Ha." Gu Yeqi didn't care at all: "I am responsible for this matter. I will calculate it for you in detail later, and you will know whether it is expensive or not."

"As for the trouble of technology leakage... that is just a trouble for mediocre people."

At this moment, the two stood in front of the door. Gu Yeqi said frankly: "Although the senior brother has not said it, in my opinion, he does not care about the leakage and spread of Yuhua Dao and Yankui technology. If everyone in this world has Yankui to use, without consuming blood and energy, and without wearing down people's will, do you think the senior brother will be happy or angry?"

With her back to Bai Qinghan, she calmly narrated: "I have thought about this more than once. If we die in Xuanming Manor, the pace of Senior Brother's advancement will be faster than anyone can imagine."

"Compared to you, we are nothing but a burden to our elder brother. The value of death is much greater than living."

"But it is precisely because he will never allow this to happen and refuse this seemingly easy destiny...that is why he is so strong."

Bai Qinghan did not respond, but just lowered his eyes and thought silently.

However, before the two of them went to the kitchen, Bai Qinghan suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of An Jing, frowning slightly: "Who is this aura...?"

Gu Yeqi was slightly startled. She wanted to say that it was the old man in her family who was communicating with An Jing about matters related to Shenjing, but after sensing it for a while, she also showed a strange look: "Strange thing, the old guy is gone? Why does the guy now look a little familiar?"

"who is it?"

She opened the door with some surprise and saw it.

An Jing had ended the long-distance communication with Gu Yunzhi, but was still communicating with others. Right in front of him, there was a girl wearing a black brocade robe with gold edges. She had hair like crow feathers, dark eyes with golden pupils, and a sweet smile.

She is not a real entity, but a projected shadow, dim and flickering. The signal is not good, but she can indeed be projected.

"Big Brother? Who is this...?"

"Brother, who is she?"

Gu Yeqi and Bai Qinghan opened the door, and their surprised gazes made the girl with dark eyes turn her head and slightly widen her eyes.

"Eh..." She was also surprised and asked, "Who are these two..."

"Ye Qi. Qinghan is here too?"

An Jing was not surprised at all when he saw this scene. He laughed and started to introduce her directly: "This is You Ruhui... Oh, you should be more familiar with her other name, Xuan Mingjing, the daughter of King Jing, the princess who defected from Dachen and helped me a lot."

"As for these two, Ruhui, these two are my junior sisters. I have told you many times that Ye Qi is my deputy in the sect and has been helping me with my training."

"And this is Bai Qinghan. You should have heard of her name. She is the Xuanyin Star Fate of this generation and the Goddess of the Demon Cult."

"What a coincidence."

At this point, An Jing stood up with great interest, and directly arranged a row of jade slips and distributed them to the three people who were almost stunned: "Just now I was discussing matters related to the Cave Heaven Method with Ruhui, and now I have some insights. I am worried that there are not many people who share the same path."

"Come on, come on, everyone has their own insights, let's brainstorm and practice together!"
