MTL - Everything Is Too Easy After Maxing My Talents-Chapter 253 The arrogant Huo Chuan sect has hollowed out the foundation of the Great Zhou!
Chapter 253 The arrogant fire-transmitting sect has hollowed out the foundation of the Great Zhou!
The end of August in 7895 of the Great Zhou calendar.
Information about the appearance of heretics near Chunshui Lake was collected from various sources and passed on to Gan Tian, governor of Fengnan County.
After receiving the information, Gan Tian, the county guard, did not dare to be negligent, and immediately convened the top leaders of the core departments in Fengnan County to discuss overnight, and finally decided to use a Qi refiner in the Void Realm as the leader, and hundreds of Concentrating Spiritual Guards as the core combat force , in addition to thousands of elite soldiers, jointly formed an elite team, and assembled as quickly as possible to go to Chunshui Lake Town to investigate the situation.
While Fengnan County was still preparing to send troops.
Gan Tian, the governor of the county, received the latest news from the local spies of Chunshui Lake. The letter stated that the local county magistrate was accidentally killed when he led troops to round up the so-called "immortal" in Chunshui Lake.
When he heard that there were so-called "living gods" pretending to be gods, Gan Tian didn't have much emotion on his face.
After all, these years have been full of wars, and countless demons and ghosts have become more and more active with the turmoil in various parts of the court. It is not so rare for some messy ambitious people to act as demons.
Gan Tian already had a complete set of solutions for this.
As long as you follow the procedures, there will be no big troubles.
But when he saw the county magistrate Zeng Youwei died in Chunshui Lake, Gan Tian's face suddenly turned white.
Nothing else—just because Zeng Youwei is the younger brother of the newly promoted Empress Zeng.
Although this guy was relegated to Chunshui Lake by the upset Emperor Zhou because of some ridiculous incidents in Haojing, and became a ninth-rank sesame official.
However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that as long as Empress Zeng is still in the harem for a day, Zeng Youwei, the emperor's brother-in-law with a high status, cannot be exiled in the wild forever.
One day the emperor's anger subsides, maybe he will be brought back immediately and continue to eat and drink.
Gan Tian, as a prefect of a locality, is a serious second-rank official, a senior official in frontiers. In various senses, he is not afraid of being successful, but he also does not want to interfere with the family background within the royal family.
Therefore, when the emperor transferred Zeng Youwei to Chunshui Lake as the county magistrate, Gan Tian did not ask or participate from the beginning to the end, and all the procedures followed the normal rules.
Under normal circumstances, no one can blame in this regard.
But now Zeng Youwei died in Chunshui Lake, and he probably died on the way to eradicate the cult...
To Gan Tian, this was a big event no less than a thunderbolt from a clear sky.
After all, no matter how you say it, Zeng Youwei is still the emperor's brother-in-law and the empress's younger brother, even if he is a piece of mud that cannot support the wall.
Identity and status are all here. Even if you die accidentally because your left foot is mixed with your right foot when you are away from home, a large number of related people will definitely be implicated to pay the bill.
It's just that some insignificant guards may be buried with them who pay for it.
Now, Zeng Youwei died in Fengnan County, and he died on the most sensitive road of eradicating cults.
As the governor of Fengnan County, Gan Tian is undoubtedly the biggest blamer for this matter.
Dare to ask is there anything more unlucky than this in the world?
Finally recovering from the news that was like a bolt from the blue, Gan Tian's face gradually turned from white to purple, looking like a piece of pig liver lacking oxygen from a distance.
If this matter is not handled well.
Once he gets stabbed on it, I'm afraid he will have his own life in danger.
Therefore, after seeing the contents of the secret letter, Gan Tian immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
Immediately used his power to mobilize more people in Fengnan County, and even moved out all the master Qi refiners in the Guiyuan Realm from his own clan. It would be best to take the lead in killing Zeng Youwei before the incident of Zeng Youwei's death was discovered by the higher authorities. The dead and promising heretics were brought back.
At that time, even if the higher authorities blame him, he can immediately hand over the real culprit to take the blame. In this way, let's not talk about whether Wu Shamao can be saved, but at least it should be no problem to save his own life.
Early September.
Fengnan County urgently mobilized a lot of food, grass and soldiers, and it only took more than ten days to form an extremely elite army. Under Gan Tian's personal leadership, they went to the vicinity of Chunshui Lake to arrest heretics.
The actions of the officers and soldiers were extremely fast, and although the turmoil caused was barely controlled to a more acceptable level, it still attracted the attention of many surrounding areas.
After all, the south-central region is the core grain production area of the Great Zhou, and there has been no such urgent military action for many years.
Now, Fengnan County has made such a big commotion without saying a word, and the governors and princesses of other nearby counties have sent letters to inquire, but Gan Tian has not received a response.
Naturally maintained an extremely high level of attention to related matters.
The senior officials of the Great Zhou court who heard the news from all over the place are all guessing what happened in Fengnan County, which is worthy of Gan Tian's secretive and violent actions.
After thinking about it, everyone found that it seemed that only things related to the 'Bringing Fire Sect' could cause such a big turmoil.
But the question is, hasn’t the Fire-Chuan Sect settled down a lot during this time?
According to some clues detected by the inner guards, it seems that the witch who is good at bewitching the people of the Fire Passing Sect has left the land of the Southern Barbarians, and her whereabouts are unknown...
Did you come to Fengnan County?
If this is the case, I am afraid that the entire land of fish and rice in the central and southern parts of the Great Zhou will be in trouble.
The county guards and governors all over the country involuntarily tightened their minds.
…
…0…
Under Gan Tian's intensive arrangement.
An army of nearly 10,000 people set off from Fengnan County, traveled south along the official road all the way, and drove non-stop for a month, and finally entered the county government of Chunshuihu County at the end of September.
After the army entered the county government, they immediately witnessed an extremely shocking scene.
—But I saw that the Chunshuihu county government office was in a mess. All the case files and mountains, rivers and geography files kept in the county government office were swept away, and some confidential rooms still showed signs of being forcibly opened from the outside and broken into.
Seeing this scene, even Gan Tian gasped.
You must know that this is the magistrate of a large county, representing the majesty of the entire Da Zhou government.
Nowadays, some people dare to behave wildly in this kind of place, and even dare to **** the files and materials in the county government.
To do this is tantamount to open rebellion.
Even if there are nine heads of relevant participants, it is not big enough for the Zhou government to chop off.
How dare this group of troublemakers?
Aren't they afraid of being punished by the nine clans?
Including Gan Tian, all the soldiers and officials of Fengnan County couldn't help being stunned when they saw this messy scene. They couldn't imagine that someone was so bold these days.
However, while Gan Tian and the officials under Fengnan County were still in a daze, a few extremely embarrassed little officials suddenly rushed out from an inconspicuous corner of the Chunshui Lake County Government.
When they saw wearing the Dazhou-style armor, the petty officials immediately fell to their knees, rolled and crawled, hugged Gan Tian's boots and wept bitterly, "Master, there are many 'legends' in Fengnan County. They are members of the Fire Sect, and I heard that the Holy Maiden of the Fire Sect has also rushed here from the depths of Nanman not far away..."
"They organized the people to repel the officers and soldiers of the county government, forcibly broke into the county government and took away all the files and materials of the county government. If we hadn't begged hard, they would have planned to burn the county government..."
"Sheriff... Sheriff, you have to make decisions for the little ones!"
When Gan Tian heard this, his whole face immediately pulled down completely.
before.
Hearing that a 'living fairy' emerged from Chunshui Lake, Gan Tian thought it was a wandering Taoist priest pretending to be a ghost. After receiving the news that Zeng Youwei, the county magistrate of Chunshui Lake, died on the way to exterminate the immortals, he began to take what happened here seriously.
But now, when he heard the words "Tianhuo Sect", he realized that his thinking was still too simple.
That's right, how can ordinary people dare to confront the government at such a jittery moment?
The so-called 'living fairy' of Chunshui Lake should not be some charlatan.
Instead, it is really related to the Vulcan religion!
In addition, I heard from the little official that the so-called 'Saint' of the Chuanhuo Sect also appeared in Chunshuihu County...
It can be seen from this that Fengnan County is very likely to be the next direction for the Fire Sect to infiltrate vigorously.
After confirming this point.
Gan Tian's blood that had been extinguished for a long time suddenly boiled again.
A long time ago, he dreamed of becoming a general who fought in all directions.
However, due to various pressures, he was not able to get what he wanted.
I thought that in this life, I would never have the chance to lead troops to fight in Nanshan.
But I didn’t expect that the end would still have such a great opportunity.
If we can wipe out the Fire Chuan Sect here, especially the so-called saint. This great credit may be able to free him from the embarrassing situation he is in now.
It may not even be possible to return to the pinnacle of power in the Great Zhou!
As for the Fire Passing Sect itself, Gan Tian didn't take it seriously.
After all, no matter how evil the Fire Spreading Sect is, in his opinion, it is just a xie religious organization that gathers a group of mud-legged people to make trouble, and it is destined to not be a big deal.
The reason why the government has been unable to do anything about it in the past two years is only because the traces of its core decision-making level are erratic and hard to find, and the speed of the spread and diffusion of teachings is too fast.
It's like a wildfire appearing on the plains covered with licorice, as long as the wind blows, it will be a big fire that can block the sky.
Not how powerful it is.
Therefore, according to Gan Tian's prediction, even if the Fire Sect organizes a certain armed force, it should be completely vulnerable to the nearly 10,000 imperial elite regular army he is leading now.
If Chuanhuojiao really set up its headquarters here, the core saint of the sect is still here.
For the Great Zhou court, I am afraid there is no better opportunity than this to suppress the Chuanhuo Sect.
Thinking of this, Gan Tian couldn't hold back his excitement.
He licked his lips, his eyes showed a bit of fierceness, he lowered his head to look at the panicked little official and asked, "Magistrate Zeng is dead, besides you, where are the other people in the county government office?"
The little official showed fear when he heard the words, and after feeling Gan Tian's scrutiny, he hurriedly replied: "I...report to the county guard, the chief secretary and the county magistrate...they, they were all arrested by the Chuanhuo sect. Let's go, I heard that there will be a public trial for them in a few days..."
Hearing this, Gan Tian showed a bit of anger on his face, and after a while, he suddenly laughed back angrily: "The Huo Chuan sect has been arrogant in the southern valleys for several years, and I really think that no one in this world can cure them." You guys are offended, right? A group of unscrupulous people really ate their hearts and leopards, I want to see, why do you have a public trial!"
…
…0…
Time passed and another ten days passed.
Gan Tian mobilized officers and soldiers from several surrounding counties to tightly block the roads around Chunshuihu County, and even sent heavy troops to guard the passes upstream and downstream of Chunshuihu County.
All the military forces in Fengnan County have been mobilized.
Weaved a net of heaven and earth for the members of the Fire Passing Sect.
At the end of September, the cool wind arrives, the white dew falls, and the cicadas sing.
Eagle is a bird for sacrifice, and it is used to kill.
The people near Chunshui Lake got up early on this day, took their benches and walked out of the house, and tacitly came to the shrine where Li Yueming was enshrined.
At this moment, the small courtyard where Li Yueming is located is completely different from the past.
Not only has the courtyard doubled in size, but there are also various exquisitely carved pavilions and pavilions.
Beside the small bamboo forest outside the gate of the main courtyard, it is always smoky, and there is an endless stream of incense from all directions.
Although the overall layout still looks like a small courtyard, the more charm is no different from those well-known qi refiners Taoist temples.
Because I felt the real air of heaven and earth pouring on my body.
Li Yueming became a little interested in this road of pretending to be a ghost.
Therefore, in these years, in addition to daily practice, Li Yueming's spirit floating in the outside world will also do something for the people around him.
For example, if someone asks for a child, if it is due to physical reasons, Li Yueming will take care of him.
Another example is that someone is seriously ill and can't afford it. If the disease is not terminally ill and there is no cure, Li Yueming will more or less relieve some pain for him according to his specific situation.
Of course, it wasn't that Li Yueming was unwilling, but rather that he was powerless.
After all, people live in the world and will always suffer from various kinds of suffering. Some suffering is purely self-inflicted, and some suffering is unexpected.
But no matter what, Li Yueming is neither a Bodhisattva nor a savior. All he can do is to show some so-called 'immortal' means to alleviate his urgent needs.
As for wanting to get anything here, it is definitely impossible.
But for this real world that is even more **** than hell, what he has done is enough to shine everywhere.
…
In just over a year, his reputation as the so-called Chunshui Lake Immortal has spread from the area of Chunshui Lake to the entire towns and counties near Chunshui Lake.
Because coming here to worship him never needs to offer gold and silver. The people under his care spontaneously renovated and expanded the courtyard for him, and even a wealthy businessman wanted to build a golden statue for him to thank him for his achievements in saving the suffering people in the world.
All of them were rejected by Li Yueming.
This relatively peaceful period lasted for more than half a year, and it didn't end until more than two months ago.
After receiving the news, Suxuan, who had changed her appearance and became the "Holy Lady of the Fire Passing Sect", finally came to Chunshui Lake to find Li Yueming. After discovering that Li Yueming had become a **** worshiped by the local people, she immediately began to spread the fire. The identity of the Supreme God was crowned on him.
If it was placed a year ago, Li Yueming might have refused.
After all, Suxuan's hand on the Chuanhuo sect is good enough. He only needs to stand behind the scenes to control the overall situation, and it is not suitable for him to stand in front of the stage and show his face.
But now this year's harvest has made Li Yueming feel the benefits of stealing the luck of heaven and earth.
Let’s not talk about other things, Li Yueming has won more favor from the world, and the speed of introducing air into the body alone is already many times faster than before.
Even when Li Yueming tried to open the sixth human body treasure, he had a lot of sudden bursts of aura after having more heaven and earth luck.
This is just the effect of heaven and earth luck on the bright side.
As for other hidden effects that cannot be seen clearly, there are countless.
—This thing is used by the world consciousness to cultivate the Son of Destiny, and it is the core original substance of the world consciousness!
Every time one more strand is stolen, it will be a world-shaking change for the individual.
…
Therefore, Li Yueming did not reject Suxuan's proposal, but started to integrate with Chuanhuo Sect.
After all, in this fantasy world, the country is extremely vast.
Many ordinary people can't get out of their one-acre three-point land for a lifetime.
The most effective way to expand your influence is to make more noise besides spending time.
As for the follow-up repelling the officers and soldiers, looting all the documents and county chronicles in the county government, this was the first action after the fusion of the Chuanhuo Sect and Li Yueming.
As for the purpose...it's simple.
It is to replace the already decayed Dazhou government and complain for the people.
Li Yueming is going to uproot the foundation of Da Zhou's survival from this angle.
At that time, Li Yueming has the Xingyue Army in his hand, which can tear up the defense line of Dazhou's army on the frontal battlefield, and secretly can hollow out the foundation of the entire Dazhou's rule through the Fire Sect.
Under the internal and external mergers, as long as the Xingyue Army can invade Haojing, the work of taking over the Dazhou territory will be extremely smooth, and there will be no time for other countries to rip off.
When the dust settles, even if the other countries still want to get a share of the pie, they have to carefully consider whether they can pay a matching price.
