The group of people passed by in the air, which can be said to be quite eye-catching. However, dozens of miles outside the Grand River City, it was a desolate scene, with almost no villages anywhere.
Huang Huai, who was sitting on the carriage, looked down from a high position and looked around. Although he had left Huaxia City and even Tai'an Mansion before, this was the first time that he had carefully observed the scene outside Huaxia City.
Just like when he went to Linjiang Mansion before, he was brought there by Emperor Guan Sheng's magical powers, and when he went to Qianfeng Mountain, he just wanted to hurry. This time, Huang Huai looked at the scene outside Huaxia City and fell into deep thought.
Previously, Huang Huai only knew that the area under the jurisdiction of Huaxia City was limited to a few dozen miles outside Huaxia City. He had also visited several villages, and in those places he could see a scene of fields and fields, giving people a feeling of popularity.
The carriage flew over more than ten miles or even dozens of miles across Huanghuai, but there was no human habitation. It was just that there were no human traces. On the contrary, Huanghuai saw the evil spirits rising from many poor mountains and rivers. Demons can be seen in those places, and they are obviously places where demons gather.
"Brother Huang, what are you looking at!"
I don't know when Ji Yang ran to Huang Huai's side and landed on Huang Huai's carriage. He followed Huang Huai's gaze and looked down, and happened to see a hilltop where evil spirits were entrenched.
Inviting Ji Yang to sit next to him, Huang Huai sighed softly: "I just didn't expect that we are only a hundred miles away from Huaxia City, and the outside world is like this. It's really a bunch of demons dancing around!"
Ji Yang blinked his eyes and said: "My sister and I came to Huaxia City from Tai'an Mansion before. Although we saw many evil spirits in the wilderness along the way, there were really not so many evil spirits at that time. ."
Huang Huai couldn't help but think of the great evil god that Ji Changnian had said earlier was suppressed by the Tai'an Mansion. Obviously, the growth of evil spirits must be due to that great evil god.
Suddenly, there was a roar from the front, and Huang Huai and Ji Yang couldn't help but follow the sound.
In front of a mountain peak, he saw a hundred-foot-tall god and demon roaring angrily under the siege of more than a dozen evil demons. Beside him, there were several gods and demons fighting with a group of evil demons.
Behind these gods and demons is a continuous building complex, with a small city vaguely visible.
Huang Huai couldn't help but be stunned. He saw that those demon gods were obviously the gods and demons worshiped by cultivators. The small town that was being attacked by the demons was a human stronghold, but he didn't expect that in this barren mountain and wild land, There are actually traces of humans.
Ji Hanyue, who was following Ji Yang, suddenly said: "Those who occupy a mountain top, build villages or small cities, and protect tens of thousands or even more people are usually sects or families that are not very powerful. In the past, there were not so many evil spirits, and they could protect one party with their own strength, but now..."
Ji Hanyue didn't say any more, but Huang Huai could understand what Ji Hanyue meant.
I'm afraid that now these small and small forces entrenched outside the big city are facing the threat of a sudden increase in evil spirits.
As soon as Huang Huai thought about it, he saw the carriage stopped in the air and said to Zhou Cang who was accompanying him: "General Zhou Cang, please bring a team of yellow scarf warriors to kill those evil spirits!"
Seeing that the cultivators in the small city below were showing signs of being unable to resist, it would be fine if they hadn't seen them, but since they had met them, it was impossible for Huang Huai to turn a blind eye to the thousands of people in the city. .
Zhou Cang took the order and immediately took a dozen yellow scarf warriors and roared away with auspicious clouds.
With Zhou Cang's strength, it really wasn't that difficult to deal with a group of demons. He just strangled them all in the blink of an eye.
Many people in the city who had narrowly escaped death and escaped from the hands of evil spirits could not help but express incredible surprise when they saw the frame of Huang Huai in the sky and the scene where Zhou Cang led the yellow scarf warriors to strangle the evil spirits.
"Thank you God, thank you God!"
After coming back to their senses, all the people couldn't help shouting loudly and bowing down to Huang Huai's motorcade.
Soon Zhou Cang came in the clouds with a burly man.
The big man bowed to Huang Huai to express his gratitude.
From this big man's mouth, Huang Huai knew that this big man was called Gu Zheng. It was the family established by Gu Zheng that protected this small city with a population of nearly ten thousand. A small family with only six or seven cultivators was the strongest. Gu Zheng only has the strength of the second level.
According to what Zhu Zheng said, in the past six months, they have encountered more and more demon attacks. However, they did not expect that the demons that attacked this time were so strong. If Huang Huai hadn't taken action in time, he would have killed them with all his strength. After defeating these evil spirits, the Gu family could not stop the next wave of evil spirits from attacking.
"I, the Gu family, would like to join Huaxia City, and I ask the city lord to take me in!"
Seeing Gu Zheng prostrating himself in front of him, Huang Huai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He just couldn't bear to watch the people of a city lose their lives at the hands of evil spirits, but he didn't expect that Gu Zheng would actually support the whole city.
At this moment, Ji Yang said to Huang Huai: "Brother Huang, this is a geomantic treasure. Why don't you ask Gu Zheng to build a temple in the city to worship Emperor Guan Sheng, Master Guanyin, and Erlang Xian Sheng Zhenjun? You just need Just give a sacred statue that will distract the mind."
Huang Huai's eyes lit up. If according to what Ji Yang said, with a second-level cultivator like Gu Zheng here, plus the statues of Emperor Guan Sheng and others given by him, those unworthy evil spirits would naturally have Gu Zheng. And the cultivators of the Gu family can deal with it. Those who are powerful can also ask Emperor Guan Sheng and Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun to show their saints.
In this case, unless there is a real encounter with a powerful evil spirit, the Gu family town does not have to worry about being destroyed.
Huang Huai's eyes fell on Gu Zheng and said, "Gu Zheng, what do you think?"
The mountain forest where the Gu family is entrenched is only a hundred miles away from Huaxia City. Gu Zheng has gone to Huaxia City more than once, so he naturally knows the strength of Huang Huai. Although it is not clear who the true emperor Erlang Xiansheng is, Guan Sheng Emperor, The Killing Bodhisattva can be said to be like a thunderbolt.
At this time, Huang Huai said that he would give these statues to these distracted gods. Gu Zheng couldn't help but be very happy. He paid homage to Huang Huai and said, "My subordinate Gu Zheng thanks the city lord."
Huang Huai thought about it, waved his hand, and immediately saw tons of copper ingots flying out.
Among the yellow turban warriors, Deng Mao and Liu Pi flew out together, each shooting a ball of divine fire, and soon the copper ingot turned into liquid.
As streams of light disappeared into it, several bronze statues of gods soon appeared in front of everyone. They were the statues of Emperor Guan Sheng, Master Guanyin, and Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun.
With a flash of divine light, two illusory shadows of gods were seen coming out of Huang Huai's body. They were the distractions of Emperor Guan Sheng and True Lord Erlang Xiansheng.
The two silhouettes turned into divine light and sank into the statue, and the statue suddenly became a little more divine.
Huang Huai looked at Gu Zheng who looked excited and said: "Gu Zheng, please order people to build temples for these statues in the city. From now on, your Gujiashan City will become a part of our Huaxia City. These sacred statues will naturally Shelter et al.”
At Gu Zheng's repeated requests, Huang Huai's carriage appeared above Gujiashan City. At the same time, Gu Zheng loudly announced above Gujiashan City that from then on, Gujiashan City would join Huaxia City to worship the gods such as Emperor Guan Sheng and Erlang Xiansheng. Blessed by Huaxia City.
The people in the city couldn't help but be shocked at Gu Zheng's decision. After all, the Gu family had protected the people in the city for hundreds of years. This sudden change still had a huge impact on the people in the city.
At this moment, two phantoms of gods emanating divine light were seen descending from the sky. It was the two statues of gods that had been distracted.
The splendid power exuded by Emperor Guan Sheng and True Lord Erlang Xiansheng was like two mighty suns descending in the center of Gujiashan City, turning into two statues of gods. This scene was like a brand that was imprinted on the hearts of tens of thousands of people.
As the Gu family members were the first to bow to Huang Huai's motorcade in the sky, people all over the city also bowed to Huang Huai.
Although it is said that the statue of Guanyin has no miracles, Gu Zheng, who is holding the statue, does not dare to look down upon it. The murderous Bodhisattva's evil name was forged with the lives of countless demons in Qianfeng Mountain.
Huang Huai's carriage did not stop and continued towards Tai'an Mansion.
Along the way, Huang Huai saw many dilapidated mountain cities and villages that had been conquered and occupied by evil spirits. They were in a mess, with bones scattered among the ruins.
Similarly, Huang Huai also saved several small towns. Except for one small town that was unwilling to attach itself to Huaxia City, the rest all expressed their willingness to join Huaxia City, worship Emperor Guan Sheng and Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun, and be protected by Huaxia City.
Regardless of whether it is a big force or a small force, as long as the main god worshiped is changed, it is equivalent to completing the annexation of a force to a certain extent.
Just like the original Dahe City, the whole city worshiped the Three Mountain Demon-Suppressing Gods and the gods and demons worshiped by Zhang Yan, Yang Li and other high-level officials of Dahe Gate. However, now the whole city of Huaxia City worships Emperor Guan Sheng and Erlang Xiansheng Zhen. Jun, Guanyin, and even the door gods and kitchen gods at the bottom have also completed their replacements for the gods of protecting the family and the gods of house control, and have completely controlled the beliefs of Huaxia City.
In order to show their determination and sincerity, the first thing these small sects or small families who have joined Huaxia City have to do is to change the main gods enshrined on their own territory to Emperor Guan Sheng, Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun, and Guanyin Master. The gods of protecting the family and the gods of keeping the house should also be replaced with Chinese gods such as the door god and the kitchen god.
The addition of several small cities was not only an increase in population, but more importantly, the Chinese sacred faith left the Chinese city and began to slowly take root in this side of the world and integrate into the lives of the people.
It can be said that the forces collected along the way have extraordinary significance to Huang Huai.
Along the way, Huang Huai's face was filled with a kind of joy that could not be concealed. Ji Yang looked puzzled. Isn't it just the refuge of a few small towns? The total number of them is only tens of thousands. He himself Brother Huang is not so happy.
Just when Huang Huai felt that he was still unfinished and wanted to see if he could absorb a few more forces, Huang Huai soon discovered that wherever he passed, there were large villages, fields, and many working people.
Huang Huai was slightly stunned and said with a bit of regret: "Has this entered the territory of Tai'an Fucheng?"
Ji Yang smiled when he heard this and said: "Yes, there is still nearly a hundred miles to Tai'an Fucheng. We have entered the boundary of Tai'an Fucheng."
Compared with Dahe City, which could only protect a dozen miles around Dahe City before, it is obvious that Fucheng, as the core of a government, can protect a wider range. From this point, we can see the strength of Fucheng.
After all, Huang Huai has really seen what it means to be plagued by evil spirits along the way. It can be said that there will be large and small evil spirits entrenched in every poor place. If there is not enough strength, it is really impossible to protect one party. common people.
On the tall city wall of Tai'an Fu City, teams of guardian gods can be seen patrolling all directions.
It’s just that it can be clearly seen that these protector generals are all unified with tiger heads and human bodies holding broadswords. The aura on their bodies is not even comparable to that of practitioners who have just entered the first realm. They are obviously created by the three major forces of Tai’an Prefecture using part of their incense and will power. The guardian general who came out.
These Dharma Protectors do not look like much, but they are enough to deal with 90% of the evil spirits. After all, those unscrupulous evil spirits are not even as powerful as these Dharma Protectors.
These days, the three families of Tai'an Mansion have obviously strengthened their inspections of Tai'an Mansion, so some of the children of the three families are leading the patrols of the guardian gods on the city wall.
Ji Yong was currently patrolling a city wall with Li Hu, a disciple of the Iron Banner Sect. Behind the two of them were more than a dozen tiger-headed body-guarding divine generals.
These two days are the days when the leaders of the various forces under Tai'an Mansion come to Fucheng to pay the incense tax. At this time of year, almost most of the leaders of the forces or important figures of one force will come to Fucheng.
Therefore, over time, the day of paying the incense tax once a year has gradually become a day for the leaders of various forces to take the opportunity to show off their own strength and heritage.
The most obvious thing is that the carriages on which the leaders of the various forces travel, the incense beasts that pull the carriages, and even the accompanying divine generals who accompany them, etc., are all the objects of secret competition among these people.
Ji Yong and Li Hu looked into the distance from time to time while patrolling. Over the past few days, they had seen the appearance of no less than dozens of forces from all sides, but they were still very interested and looking forward to it.
A team slowly approached from the horizon. The leader was a rather luxurious carriage. Two black wolves were pulling the carriage in front. There were four boys and girls on both sides. There was a team of about thirty-six wolf-headed men and women in the rear. The Dharma Protector General came with strong armor and murderous intent.
Ji Yong and Li Hu glanced at each other from a distance, with a bit of surprise on their faces, and heard Ji Yong say: "Hey, isn't this the Lord of Black Wolf City, Black Wolf God? There are actually more boys and girls this year. The guardian general of the Dharma, it’s going to be exciting now.”
Li Hu couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Look, the enemy of Black Wolf God is coming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw divine light filling the air in the distance, shining in all directions. What came into view was the ancient Taishi chair carried by eight people. The most important thing was that the people carrying this Taishi chair turned out to be eight beautiful women, and the two Taishi chairs were On the side are two young girls holding flower baskets in their hands. From time to time, the girls throw out the petals in the flower baskets. These petals are scattered in all directions, blooming with dazzling light.
Such a group of women who were obviously the guardian generals attracted the attention of Ji Yong, Li Hu and others as soon as they appeared.
When their eyes fell on the pale young man who was dressed in black and holding a folding fan in one hand and fanning slowly on the Taishi's chair, they had such a look on his face.
Hearing Li Hu laugh and say: "Young Master Lianhua is really the same slut as ever. There is no change this year, he is still the same as last year. I am afraid he will be ridiculed by the Black Wolf God later."
As soon as Li Hu finished speaking, he heard a burst of laughter: "Hahaha, pity the handsome young man, you are not being squeezed dry by some seductive evil spirit, are you?"
Mr. Lianhua, who was lying on the Taishi chair, glanced at Heilang Shang Shen and said with a bit of disdain: "Hey, Hei Lang, from which family did you kidnap these little dolls? They are still children. How could you do this?"
The team of God Black Wolf stopped, looked at Master Lianhua from a distance and said: "I heard that Master Lianhua, your Lianhua City was attacked by evil spirits some time ago, and suffered heavy losses. Even you yourself were seriously injured. Look at you. A small face is so pale."
Li Hu and Ji Yong on the city wall watched with interest as Young Master Lianhua and Lord Black Wolf mocked each other.
Before the people sent by the city lord's palace to bring them into the city arrived, the verbal exchanges between the two would definitely not stop. This was also performed every year, and many people watched it as amusement.
At this moment, Li Hu was heard exclaiming as if he had discovered something extraordinary: "Brother Ji, look, what kind of force is that? Why have I never seen it before? This scene must be too big! "
Without Li Hu's reminder, Ji Yong also saw four golden lions exuding divine light above an auspicious cloud in the distance, pulling a carriage and galloping towards it. Two powerful generals were accompanying the carriage. On both sides, there were two teams with strong auras, one foot tall and emitting bronze brilliance. They were followed closely by the protector generals who were like gods and demons.
As this group of people appeared, the eyes of many people on the city wall were attracted.
Although the frame of the carriage doesn't look like much, the four golden lions pulling the carriage and the accompanying divine generals and yellow scarf warriors are so eye-catching that people can only marvel at it.
In particular, some discerning people could tell at a glance that the yellow scarf warriors were all real gods who were enshrined in incense, rather than crude guardian generals who were simply shaped by the power of incense.
At first glance, there are hundreds of such Dharma Protector Generals. You must know that even the three major forces of Tai'an Mansion cannot produce such Dharma Protector Generals.
"When did such a force appear in Tai'an Mansion?"
Some people looked puzzled, and there were also well-informed people who seemed to have thought of something when they saw so many guardian generals and exclaimed: "I thought of it, this is the team of Huaxia City Lord Huang Huai, right?" !”
"Is it the lord of Huaxia City, Huang Huai, who is said to have enshrined an emperor, a god, and a demon?"
"Is this the person who killed Beiling Prince's son and an incarnation of Beiling Prince in the street? I heard that the other party was quite powerful, and even the princes of Dayan didn't pay attention to it. No wonder there was such a battle. "
The Black Wolf Goddess and Lianhua Gongzi, who were originally sarcastic with each other, have obviously become backgrounds at this moment, and everyone's attention has shifted to Huang Huai and his party.
Even Lord Black Wolf and Young Master Lianhua were looking at Huang Huai's team in surprise and curiosity.
As the leaders of the same force, how come they haven't heard the rumors about Huang Huai? They haven't seen Huang Huai yet, but when they glanced at the two powerful generals in front of Huang Huai's carriage, they couldn't help but twitch their eyes. Shrinking, there are waves in my heart.
Guan Ping and Zhou Cang sensed the prying eyes of Heilang Shangshen and Lianhua Gongzi, and just glanced at them lightly.
But the casual glances from Guan Ping and Zhou Cang actually caused a warning sign to appear in the hearts of Black Wolf Shang Shen and Lian Hua Gongzi. At that moment, it seemed as if they were being targeted by some terrible evil god.
"What a powerful general!"
They looked away in fear. The two of them dared to look any further. It was just that the two divine generals were so powerful. If this caused displeasure to Huang Huai in the carriage, they would not be able to withstand Huang Huai's anger.
At this time, in the carriage, Ji Yang was introducing to Huang Huai the team of Black Wolf Shangshen and Lianhua Gongzi not far away with great interest.
"Brother Huang, those are the Black Wolf High God from Black Wolf City, and the Lianhua Young Master from Lianhua City. They are old enemies. Every year they meet, they always have a verbal spat."
Huang Huai withdrew his gaze from the teams of Black Wolf Shang Shen and Lianhua Gongzi, and compared them for a while. He was secretly satisfied. It seemed that his appearance was not bad, at least he was not easily compared with others.
"Brother Ji, why don't they enter the city?"
Ji Yang was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said: "I forgot to tell Brother Huang that they are waiting for the city lord's palace to send someone to hand over to them before entering the city."
Huang Huai nodded slightly when he heard this and said: "So we have to wait here to complete the handover before we can enter the city!"
Ji Yang nodded and said: "This is the normal process, but I have informed my father in advance. I think he will arrange someone to pick us up."
While he was talking, suddenly the closed gate of Tai'an City suddenly opened, which only made many people look surprised.
You must know that the main gate of Tai'an City is rarely opened, only once or twice a year, and it is only opened on important days. On weekdays, it usually opens the small doors on both sides. Unexpectedly, this time it turned out to be the main gate. The openness naturally aroused many people's doubts.
But when many people saw a group of people filing out from the gate, those who were originally surprised showed a look of astonishment.
I saw that the group of people were all representatives of various forces in Tai'an Prefecture. These people, headed by the head of the Ji family of Tai'an Prefecture, the head of the Lieyang Sect, and the head of the Iron Flag Sect, walked out of the gate of Tai'an Prefecture solemnly. .
Someone subconsciously said: "Even if the Beiling King himself comes, I'm afraid not all the heads of these forces will come to greet him personally."
Someone on the side immediately sneered and said: "The King of Beiling is here in person. It would be good if the number of people who come to greet you can be more than one-third of the number now. You still expect so many prominent figures to come out to greet you. Who has such qualifications... …”
But before the man finished speaking, he shut his mouth, as if thinking that there was actually someone in front of him who asked so many people to come out of the city to greet him in person.
The Black Wolf Master and Lianhua Master in the sky saw a group of people filing out of the city from a distance. When they saw the familiar figures in the group, they were startled, almost immediately Order the team to lower their heads.
Here, they looked at Tai'an City and sighed that Tai'an City was indeed the core of the city. Huang Huai, which was large and majestic enough, was waiting for the Tai'an City Lord to send someone to complete the handover with them, so that they could enter the city.
Suddenly Ji Yang exclaimed: "Oh, brother Huang, look, the person to greet you is here, but this scene is too big!"
Huang Huai followed Ji Yang's gaze and saw a group of people approaching him. Huang Huai saw the familiar figure of Ji Changnian among the leaders.
Immediately Huang Huai gave an order, and the convoy lowered its clouds. At this moment, Ji Yang excitedly said to Huang Huai: "Brother Huang, this scene to welcome you is too big."
Huang Huai glanced at Ji Yang in confusion, and at this moment Ji Hanyue coughed slightly and explained: "Chengdu Huang doesn't know something, these people are all prominent figures in Tai'an Mansion, let alone my eldest nephew. , the master of the Iron Flag Sect, the master of the Lieyang Sect, and some of the leading figures in the city set out together, and I am afraid that only the legendary Emperor of Dayan came in person to receive such treatment."
Huang Huai originally thought that Ji Changnian brought some random people to greet him, but after listening to Ji Hanyue's words, he realized that those who followed Ji Changnian turned out to be the leading figures in Tai'an Mansion.
Looking at Ji Changnian and others approaching, Huang Huai stood up and stepped off the carriage, followed by the two great generals Guan Ping and Zhou Cang, and behind him were two teams of powerful yellow scarf warriors, whose momentum was no less powerful than those facing him. Ji Changnian and others came.
When Ji Changnian saw Huang Huai, he couldn't help laughing. He strode forward and said to Huang Huai: "The Lord of Huang City is here, and I am sorry for not being able to welcome him from afar."
Huang Huai bowed his hand to Ji Changnian and smiled: "Master Ji is too polite."
At this moment, the master of the Iron Flag Sect, the leader of the Lieyang Sect, and others all stepped forward and saluted Huang Huai, saying, "Welcome Master Huang City to Tai'an Mansion."
Huang Huai smiled and nodded in response, surrounded by everyone, and became the center of the audience.
Many people crowded onto the city wall, or went directly out of the city gate and stood in the distance to look this way. They were pointing and talking for a while. Needless to say, there was no shortage of discussions in Tai'an Prefecture in the next few days. content.
Compared to Huang Huai, who was the focus of everyone present, the two teams, Black Wolf Shangshen and Lianhua Gongzi not far away, were lonely and unnoticed, as if they were directly ignored by everyone. They looked so The desolation and loneliness.
It's just that even the Black Wolf Goddess and Lianhua Gongzi, who were ignored by Tai'an Fucheng, now looked at Huang Huai who was surrounded in the distance and headed towards Tai'an Fucheng. In addition to envy, they couldn't help but sigh. :
"This is what a man should do!"
