The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 194: 191: Sedimentation and Battle Situation (22)

Chu Zhou had to admit that he was still bothered by the escape of the old man Erhu. He felt that it was wrong that he was allowed to escape after all the circumstances.

The walnut flying boat is one thing, but what else?
After self-reflection, Chu Zhou felt that it was because he had no means of tracking.

If he could lock on to the enemy from a thousand miles away, even if the old man with the erhu escaped to the horizon, he would be able to chase him to death!

Therefore, when exchanging again, the first thing Chu Zhou looked at was tracking spells, 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 use breath as a guide to point to the enemy's location. The principle followed is that wherever it passes, it must leave traces.

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

All concealing methods such as bathing, changing clothes, and using perfume are useless because a person's own breath cannot be changed.

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

Moreover, this aura was constantly weakening after the "Thousand Mile Soul Chasing Technique" was launched.

Under normal circumstances, if the enemy cannot be captured within three days, they will completely disperse.

As for the 'Blood Tracing Curse', it is a purely evil curse that aims to kill everyone without leaving any regrets. Its characteristic is that it can trace the source through blood.

Just like the old man with the erhu, if Chu Zhou knew this magic before, he could cast a curse with the broken arm and blood, and he could trace not only the person himself, but also the clan members who were connected to him by blood.

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

Therefore, if you are used to wiping out entire families, this technique is your must-have.

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

With the help of magic, it is clear at a glance whether the child is a biological one or not.

The final "Spell to Identify Spiritual Consciousness" is more of an ability that must be mastered than a spell.

A person's spiritual consciousness is like the lines on his palm or his aura; no matter how similar they are, they can never be exactly the same.

The ability that immortal practitioners must master is to identify the identity of others through the fluctuations of their souls.

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

Of course, the teaching of the 'Spell to Identify Spiritual Consciousness' is not so simple. It can even determine the opponent's strength, cultivation level, and the nature of their skills, and even transmit information through the fluctuations of spiritual consciousness.

Among these three techniques, this one is the most difficult for Chu Zhou to learn. The reason is simple: the environment does not allow it!

There were only a few cultivators around him, and he lacked anyone to learn from.

These techniques have opened up Chu Zhou's thinking. His choice should not only focus on killing power, but also take other factors into consideration.

So he picked out a few more techniques.

For example, 'Paper Crane Sending a Message' is to fold paper into a flying goose. After casting the spell, the message can be transmitted. The only problem is that the distance cannot be too far.

For example, the 'Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Technique' requires advance preparation, and after communicating with the same vibration, the communication can be transmitted through magic.

When this magic was transformed into a talisman, it became the 'Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Note'.

It’s a pity that compared to the usefulness of talismans, the consumption of magic is too great, 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 they are sleeping or practicing, the sound transmission is like a mosquito buzzing in their ears, and they may just ignore it.

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

In fact, Chu Zhou was quite envious of the Tiancang Sect's taming of the goshawk. It was so convenient for communication. Chu Zhou also thought about directly exchanging for a course on "Basics of Beast Taming" and raising a group of spiritual beasts.

He believed that what the Jieying Hall gave was definitely an inheritance far superior to the Tiancang Sect, but after looking at the merit point reserves, he chose to give up willingly.

Since I am short of money, I can only settle for the next best thing. This "Beast Language Listening Spell" is a basic technique for taming beasts and is barely enough.

In addition, Chu Zhou also used the "Zhu Tian Yan Fa Platform" a lot, not only for deduction, but more for various experiments of ideas that popped up in his mind.

For example, he felt that although the 'Cloud Climbing' technique was convenient, it was too slow, so he wanted to combine it with the 'Wind Calling Technique' or the martial arts method of stepping into the air, in order to create a more durable and more commonly used flying technique.

There is an effect, but we still need to keep trying.

When the cultivation of immortality and martial arts occupied all the time, when practicing magic became the norm, when physical training became a daily routine, when all the energy was occupied by cultivation...

Chu Zhou returned to his busy state, but unlike the resistance to dealing with trivial matters, he felt happy, fulfilled, and enjoyable.

He can clearly feel his own progress, just like climbing a mountain, every step and every stair he takes is his achievement.

Occasionally, he would look down. Although he had not reached the point of "standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking all the other mountains", but when he looked out in the distance, everything he saw was beautiful scenery.

Of course, while Chu Zhou was practicing, the entire Xuanzhen Temple was also busy.

Those inner disciples all had their spiritual root attributes measured using the "Spirit Verification Method" and then formally drew the Qi into their bodies and embarked on the path to immortality.

Because of their abundant Qi and blood, they were able to get started quickly and have already started trying to combine immortal arts and martial arts.

The outer disciples have also passed the stage of strengthening their bodies, and are now concentrating their strength and sensing their qi and blood.

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

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

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

Especially in Hongde County, most of the land had been occupied by the Qihuo Army. The army of the governor of Hongde County, 30,000 soldiers under the command of General Hongwei, were defeated three times and kept retreating.

The Ice Rhino Sect tried to plug holes everywhere, but the holes only got bigger.

Many aristocratic families have already fled with their families, taking their tenants and servants 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 moved to Tianquan County.

These are refugees too.

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

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

It is hard to say whether there are spies among them who have infiltrated the Beggar Army. It is absolutely not allowed for them to stay in Yanshui City. Even filling the three lines of defense is not advisable.

Therefore, the county magistrate Ji Mingqian directly moved them to the outside of Baisha City and headed to Sanhe Town, reclaiming wasteland and cultivating crops along the way, which can be regarded as another form of land development.

Because of the construction of information channels, the intelligence obtained is very complete.

By combining all this information together, Chu Zhou roughly figured out the reasons why the Bingxi Sect was defeated and Hongde County fell.

In his words, it was truly a weird situation where 'the soldiers didn't know their generals, and the generals didn't know their soldiers'!
The system of this world is there. Martial arts sects do train masters, but the inherent model means that the number of people cannot be too large.

For example, in the battle between the Yunya Sword Sect and the Wenxiang Temple, both sides almost brought out all their strength, and each side only gathered a thousand people.

This is already a force that can guard the sect in an entire county. If relatives, slaves, maids, and servants are included, 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 set up county garrison troops in almost every county, with the number ranging from 30,000 to 40,000.

Whenever there is a major war, these soldiers will have sufficient foundation to recruit soldiers, equip them with weapons and supplies, and quickly form a large army.

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

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

In this way, the two cannot be integrated, and if they encounter a tough opponent, they will easily be defeated and suffer countless casualties.

The Hongde Army and the Bingxi Sect were trapped in this vicious circle from the very beginning.

The military masters were unable to defeat the enemy and were beheaded from time to time, while the Ice Rhino Sect masters were able to defeat the enemy but ended up being besieged to death.

Of course, they were not stupid. After getting over the initial panic, they quickly got together.

However, the two are incompatible and have their own contradictions. After several head-on battles, they were still defeated and the situation was horrible.

On the contrary, the Beggar Army led by the Weeping Heavenly King is deeply tied to the Xuan Yue Sect and the Red Lotus Society.

Following the secret methods of the two religions, they quickly increased their military strength and became stronger and stronger.

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

This is due to the integration of Xuanzhen Temple.

Of course, although this system has its shortcomings, as long as the strength is strong enough, problems will no longer be a problem.

Just like the Hakko clan!
The contemporary Overlord brought down the mountain with eighteen grandmasters and disciples from four major halls, a total of no more than a thousand people.

But they just pushed forward all the way, killing anyone who stood in their way, and dispersed all the beggars who passed by along the way.

Those Xuan Yue disciples and Red Lotus followers were either killed or maimed, and many of them couldn't even escape.

Of the so-called Twelve Heavenly Kings who beg for life, only nine are left.

Until now, Xiong Kuohai is still wandering around Tianyuan Mansion, apparently trying to find the real top leaders of the two factions to decide the outcome.

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

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

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is March, the early spring season, and the busy farming season has begun again.

A new round of farming has begun around the entire Xuanzhen Temple, and Chu Zhou is also tending to his own two acres of land.

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

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 quantity issues, in this first year, only the land under the jurisdiction of Xuanzhen Temple was planted with these improved varieties.

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

This was a rare leisure time for him after his cultivation. However, just when he was halfway through, the jade talisman on his waist began to shake.

Chu Zhou's face changed, and with a wave of his hand, a jade talisman floated in the air, and Wei Fangjie's voice came from there.

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

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

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

What was supposed to come finally came!
