Kyoto is prosperous and beautiful in summer. Neat and gorgeous houses, spacious and flat streets, parks and gardens set up in the middle of the street, poplar trees and cherry blossom trees planted on both sides of the road. Due to the spiritual gathering array set up underground, they can absorb a steady stream of spiritual energy, so they are luxuriant all year round. , flowers bloom.
There are many shops on the street, shouting and selling, and most of the pedestrians are well-dressed and polite. Even the peddlers can afford to wear clothes made of silk. Everyone has a pride and pride that only metropolitans can have on their faces. Kyoto was originally only the size of a county in China. However, since Jianzhen's eastward journey and Yun Canghai's teachings, it has brought a "peaceful and prosperous age" to Haizhou and a long period of peace in the future. During this period, the country's financial and material resources have greatly improved Kyoto. It has been expanded six times and is now a giant city covering an area of 50,000 square kilometers and with a population of 3 million.
This is not only the political, economic, and cultural center of Haizhou, but also the most elite talents and the most powerful cultivation groups and academies in Haizhou. Whether it is the Yin Yang Sect or the Vinaya Sect, although the core holy places and ancestral temples are located in secret and Although it is a safe paradise, the largest and most formal branch institution is located in Kyoto in order to continuously absorb fresh blood and make the sect prosperous.
If you look down at Kyoto from high altitude, you will see that there are four huge buildings in this city that are far beyond their similar size and momentum:
The splendid and solemn palace of Haiju County King, full of majesty and nobility; the Kyoto branch of the Ryūshu sect, filled with light incense and the light of Buddha, where the sound of chanting sutras and practicing martial arts is endless; the Kyoto branch of the Yin and Yang sect, covered with black and white yin and yang, is mysterious and profound. Dioceses; large tombstones and monuments standing compactly, generally gray in color, surrounded by green smoke, with a certain sacred and tragic atmosphere. This is the Heroes Memorial Forest jointly established by the royal family, the Vinaya Sect and the Yin Yang Sect. Buried in it are those who have suffered from the evil disasters in these years. The warriors who died in the heroic battle with the demons enjoyed incense from all over Haizhou to commemorate their achievements.
At this time, a serious meeting was taking place in a certain room in the palace. There were only a few people participating in the meeting, but all of them were people with huge power and influence. When everyone walked out alone, they were big shots in Haizhou who would tremble even if they stomped their feet. But here, they all have serious faces and solemn eyes, and the atmosphere is very heavy.
"About the demon invasion in the south, I believe everyone has learned about it from the report just submitted by the Intelligence Department. I am very sad that this happened. You must come up with a charter to deal with this emergency." The golden host, a middle-aged man with a majestic expression wearing a bright yellow embroidered dragon suit, looked at the circle of people around him and said in a heavy tone. He is Lee Min-ki, the King of Haeju County of this generation. After learning about the demon invasion in the East China Sea and the South, he immediately summoned Haizhou's top ministers and representatives of the cultivation community to discuss how to deal with it.
To be honest, although the demonic disasters in the mainland became more and more serious, and the Song Dynasty court was in a panic, it tried its best to fight the demonic forces with the strong support of the cultivation world, and finally reached a roughly balanced situation. This is not to say that the Song Dynasty is not strong, but that the territory of the Song Dynasty is too large. Even if there are big cases in this vast territory, they will be scattered and naturally they can only put out fires everywhere to encourage support. However, compared to the Song Dynasty, Haizhou has a small territory and is surrounded by the sea. There is no need to worry about a large number of demons coming across the sky and sea. Moreover, the density of domestic cultivators is relatively high and it has an offensive and defensive alliance with the local demon clan. It can concentrate all its efforts to defend the periphery and concentrate its powerful strength to eliminate any one. The demon riots within the country suppressed the threat to a minimum.
In addition, with Jian Zhen and Yun Canghai, two peerless experts who could compete with the top demon gods, there was no need to worry about the domestic situation without five demon gods leading an army to invade. Therefore, even though Middle-earth was in chaos due to the demonic disaster, Zhonghai State still maintained basic stability without much panic. It even had the energy to input a large amount of weapon refining materials into Middle-earth and sent a large number of elite practitioners and warriors to support humans and demons. battle.
But now the situation is different. The demon actually landed from the East China Sea and swept through most of Fukang County. It not only seized the country's important grain production areas, but also killed many masters of the Tokugawa family, the powerful lord of the south, and almost wiped out the Tokugawa family. This is amazing. Not to be underestimated. The Tokugawa family is a large family that has been inherited since the Warring States Period in Japan. Although after Japan was changed to Kaishu, the imperial family, the Onmyoji sect, and the Ryuzong used intermarriage, splitting, training, and support to break up and transform these local families. These families have lost their pure Japanese blood and have long since become Chinese families. However, the accumulation of aristocratic families cannot be underestimated. The Tokugawa family still has two Void-returning level onmyojis sitting around and cannot take it lightly. Now that these two Onmyoji actually died in battle, it fully illustrates the power of this wave of demons.
"Your Majesty, if the situation is really as serious as what the Intelligence Department says, then I think that the sacrifices from the worshipers alone may not be enough to fight against the strong ones among the demons. And there are no top strong ones to suppress the Royal Exorcists and the Samurai Order. You can't fight the demon alone." An old man in white, who was skinny but with eyes shining with eyes, bowed respectfully to Lee Min Ki and said slowly.
The Intelligence Department is the most efficient intelligence organization in Haizhou under the direct control of the Haizhou royal family. It contains samurai, onmyoji, sorcerers, priests, ninjas, monks and even other practitioners, all of whom have undergone systematic and cruel training and rich experience. Since the intelligence reported after their confirmation, there is no need to doubt its authenticity and accuracy.
"What Zhang Aiqing said makes sense. Since you said so, what are the countermeasures?" Li Minji nodded and asked calmly. The old man is Zhang Zhongjun, the Minister of War of the Haizhou imperial court. What he said certainly makes sense.
"Ordinary strategies against demons are of no use. We can only defeat them with our true strength. In times of crisis, we can only use holy monks and deities." Zhang Zhongjun thought for a moment and said with certainty.
