In order to prevent the innate grandmaster who had finally arrived at his door from escaping, it was also to show his sincerity.
After receiving Lu Yuan's request for support, the Danding Taoists discussed it, and finally the Taoist master decided to give him super-standard support.
And they sent Master Anqiu to go out personally.
It was not only to show the importance, but also to let him take a look and confirm whether the situation on Lu Yuan's side was true.
Obviously, Dan Ding Dao also had doubts about Lu Yuan leaving a good innate master to practice the short-lived immortal method without causing brain cramps.
Therefore, it is impossible for Dan Ding Dao to deliver aid at will without confirming Lu Yuan's true intention.
After checking at this time, it was confirmed that Lu Yuan was innate, which made Master Anqiu feel a little happy.
But just because of this, I want help, but it’s not enough.
Therefore, after a little praise, Master Anqiu said directly: "Friend Lu Dao sent a letter to say that he wanted to compile the Taiping Dao Book. Is this true?"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Of course it is true."
Hearing this, Master Anqiu felt relieved, but after looking at the other person up and down, he asked, "Why hasn't that fellow Taoist practiced Taoism?"
He had given the Taoist book to Lu Yuan at the beginning. If the other party really wanted to practice it, the people of the other country's current territory would have been able to practice the Taiping Taoist book long ago.
Lu Yuan had already said something about this. At this time, he said: "If you want to practice Taoism, you need to build an altar first. Now the altar is still under construction, and the Tianzhu has not been worshiped. How can you practice Taoism without the spirit of the immortal spirit?"
Due to the limitations of Taiping Taoism, or the limitations of today's world of immortality, no one can even think of cultivating immortality without knocking on the pillars of heaven and attracting the energy of the immortal spirits down, without leaving the paradise of cave heaven.
This is already the consensus in the world of immortality.
Master Anqiu nodded slightly, agreed with this statement, and then said: "Fellow Taoist, has the altar been built?"
Lu Yuan nodded and said: "It is still under construction. It will take a few months to be completed."
Anqiu frowned: "It's just an altar to worship heaven. It can be built in a few months by recruiting tens of thousands of people. Why is it so slow?"
Lu Yuan glanced at him and said angrily: "You need to ask Taoist friends about this. The chaos on Taiping Road in Jian'an County alarmed the government and the public. Do Taoist friends think that what they did can be hidden from the world?"
If I build an altar with great fanfare, it will definitely attract the attention of the world.
At that time, if people recognized that this was the Taiping Daoshu sacrificial altar, wouldn’t everyone know that I practiced Taiping Daoshu?
In this case, how can the court tolerate me?
What do people like Ziyundao think of me?
Therefore, I will never reveal my practice of Taiping Taoism unless absolutely necessary.
Therefore, the altar to worship the Tianzhu had to be built secretly, and it was impossible to use a lot of manpower.
I had people start working on this at the beginning of the year, and now only half of it has been built, and it will only be completed in three to five months. "
When Master Anqiu heard this reason, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Indeed, the incident that Dan Ding Dao had caused in Jian'an County had completely exposed the Taiping Dao Book to the Yue State Court and Ziyun Dao.
And if Lu Yuan practices this book, he will inevitably embark on the path of conquering the world.
In this case, the Yue Kingdom, which is located in the south of the Yangtze River, will certainly not be able to accommodate him.
Sending troops to conquer is a common thing.
And over there at Ziyundao.
In order to make Lu Yuan give up the idea of cultivating immortals, Master Zhenxuan specially taught him the secrets of innateness, in order to prevent others from continuing to cultivate immortals and divide their little fairy spirit.
If Lu Yuan chooses to cultivate immortality and his practice of Taiping Taoism is exposed, it is hard to predict how Ziyundao will treat him.
With these two concerns, Lu Yuan was more cautious, which was indeed in line with common sense.
And if the other party can consider this, it can also be confirmed from the side that he really has the idea of cultivating Taiping Taoism.
Otherwise, why do all this covering up?
With this thought in his mind, Anqiu Zhenren already believed most of Lu Yuan's idea of practicing Taiping Taoism.
But just to be safe, he still had to make one final confirmation.
"Fellow Taoist said that an altar has been built. Where is this altar? Can you guide me to have a look?" Master Anqiu asked.
"Of course it's okay."
Lu Yuan had nothing to do with this. Anyway, from the position of Danding Dao, it was impossible to do anything to damage his altar, so he responded directly: "This altar is in Yangshan Mansion, not far from here. If fellow Taoists don't mind it, come with me to take a look.
It just so happens that since I ordered people to build the altar, I have been busy with military and political affairs and have no time to inspect.
It might as well go and take a look at this time. "
Master Anqiu smiled when he heard this: "Then I'll trouble you fellow Taoist."
Lu Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's a small matter."
After that, the two of them didn't waste much time. After Lu Yuan briefly explained the affairs, he took Master Anqiu and rode on a fast horse and ran all the way to Yangshan Mansion.
The two of them traveled day and night, and it took only three days to arrive at Yangshan Mansion.
Then without stopping, he went straight to the territory of Yangshan Mansion and deep into the mountains of the Lianshan Mountains.
Lu Yuan told Sun Siwen to build the altar in the deep mountains.
After spending a day walking through the mountains, the two of them arrived at a valley.
This valley was originally a mountain stronghold of the Miao people, but as all the Miao people in the three southern prefectures were wiped out by Lu Yuan, this mountain stronghold was no exception and was directly conquered and occupied.
Later, Lu Yuan needed a secret place to build an altar, so Sun Siwen found the Queen of Yangshan Mansion. He felt that this place was the most suitable, so he transferred Miao prisoners, and Lu Yuan sent his trusted aides to guard them, and slowly built the altar here.
Now time flies and half a year has passed.
"Master, now the foundation of the altar has been built. Now we only need to continue to fill in the base, lay the rituals given by Master, and decorate the patterned sky pillars. Then the altar can be repaired."
On the mountains on both sides of the valley, after learning that Lu Yuan had arrived, a named disciple in charge of the valley came to pay a visit and led the two of them to inspect the progress of the project.
After Lu Yuan and Anqiu heard this, they each looked at each other intently.
I saw thousands of young Miao people in the valley at this time. Under the supervision of more than a hundred sergeants, they were carrying baskets and baskets of earth and stones to build an altar.
While they were being piled up, specially made ritual instruments were also laid on the altar at the same time.
Such a large altar covers an area of hundreds of acres, with a vast area and a huge project.
It is indeed not easy for these thousand Miao people to achieve such progress in just six months.
Therefore, after reading it, Lu Yuan couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction and said to his disciple: "You did a good job, but the construction period needs to be accelerated."
When he said this, he glanced at Anqiu next to him. Obviously, he meant this to the other party.
The disciple listened to the master's instructions and said quickly: "Yes, I will give instructions later and let the Miao people work for one more hour every day, so that it can be completed as soon as possible."
Next to him, An Qiu looked at the altar and looked away. Seeing the performance of Lu Yuan and his disciples, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "The altar is a delicate thing. It is related to the sacrifice to the Tianzhu, so there must be no mistakes.
If the work is rushed and causes problems with the altar, the work will be in vain.
Taoist friends are innately talented and have plenty of time, so there is no need to rush. "
After confirming that Lu Yuan was really serious about building the altar, Anqiu no longer had any confusion about whether the other party practiced Taiping Taoism.
Therefore, after achieving his goal, he began to care about the quality of Lu Yuan's Taoist practice.
After finally meeting an innate master who was willing to practice Taiping Taoism, Master Anqiu didn't want Lu Yuan to die early because of his hasty practice.
It can make the other party live for two more months and provide more practice data, which is very meaningful to Alchemy Dao.
Now he took the initiative to advise Lu Yuan not to rush to practice Taoism.
The real owner is not in a hurry, and Lu Yuan, who wants to deceive the other party, is even less anxious.
So he glanced at his disciple and said calmly: "Did you hear it? Since Master Anqiu has said something, then just do what he said. Slow down the construction period, work slowly and carefully, and don't cause trouble."
Seeing that Master Anqiu asked his master to change his words with just one word, the disciple was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. He just nodded and said: "Disciple, I obey. I will give the order later. The daily working hours will be reduced by one hour, and must be allowed to work." Those Miao people can spend more energy and polish the altar."
"Well, let's do it."
Lu Yuan nodded, then waved his hand and said, "You have nothing to do here, please step back."
The disciple bowed and then quickly retreated.
After everyone around him had left, and only two people were left here, Lu Yuan looked at Master Anqiu and said, "Now that Pindao's matter has been confirmed, my Taoist friends have confirmed it. What is Pindao doing?" I need help, can you please give me a confirmation?
To practice Taiping Taoism, you need to establish a country, gather the fate of all people as a king, and worship the Tianzhu.
If you really do this, it will be equivalent to breaking up with the imperial court.
Now that the situation in the imperial court is getting better, hundreds of thousands of troops are marching westward to Dongting County, and several masters are accompanying them.
If I don't have enough strength, I will not rashly fall out with the court in the current situation. That would be the same as seeking death.
Therefore, if fellow Taoists do not give enough benefits, then the practice of Taiping Dao Shu will have to be put on hold indefinitely. "
Now the reason why Lu Yuan is cooperating with Master Anqiu is to show the other party his innate strength, and to attract people to check out the altar. He is busy running back and forth, just for the help from the other party.
If you work like this, the other party won't give you enough benefits.
So sorry.
Don't blame Lu Yuan for not serving you.
Master Anqiu also knew what Lu Yuan was thinking. He laughed twice and said confidently: "Fellow Taoist Lu, don't be anxious. The previous many things were just to confirm the Taoist friend's intention to cultivate immortality. Now that it has been confirmed, naturally no more will be done. verify.
Moreover, the assistance prepared by our Dao for Fellow Daoist Lu this time will definitely satisfy Fellow Daoist Lu. "
Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel curious when he saw Old Tao Anqiu's big words. Could it be that the other party really prepared tens of millions of taels of silver this time?
Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat and he asked, "My fellow Taoist said that, so I'm curious. I wonder what your Taoist plan is to help me?"
Anqiu stroked his flowing beard and said with a smile: "Ten million taels of silver, two million stones of grain, ten thousand pieces of iron armor, ten thousand strong crossbows, thirty thousand strong bows, and fifty thousand swords and spears." I need fifty pills of divine blood and three first-class martial arts. I wonder if these are enough?"
After Lu Yuan listened to the other party's report, he was stunned.
Too much, too much.
There are too many things given by Alchemy Dao.
Not to mention the ten million taels of silver and the two million stones of grain. These supplies are enough to support Lu Yuan's 100,000 soldiers for almost a year and a half.
Ten thousand pieces of iron armor, ten thousand crossbows, thirty thousand strong bows, and fifty thousand swords and spears each were of greater help to Lu Yuan than the silver and grain.
The reason is also very simple.
He has 100,000 soldiers and horses. In addition to the original 10,000 veterans, there are 90,000 soldiers left, all of whom were recruited within this year.
With the sudden increase of 90,000 soldiers, it is not difficult to feed them, but it is difficult to equip them with iron armor.
Under Lu Yuan's rule, basically all the six mansions suffered from wars, local production was destroyed, and the government treasury was exhausted, and it was impossible to supply enough weapons and armor.
Therefore, among the 90,000 newly recruited soldiers, except for a few of 10,000 or 20,000 who had some captured leather and iron armor, the rest did not even have sets of armor.
And as everyone knows.
On the battlefield, whether there is armor protection or not, there are two completely different situations.
An armored warrior can deal with three or five unarmored people under the same conditions.
Needless to say, there is a strong bow and a powerful crossbow.
If you want to build a good bow and crossbow, it will take at least a year or two.
Lu Yuan expanded his army in such a short period of time and could not afford so many crossbows for his own large army.
This also led to the fact that many of his men who were born in the Orion Mountains could only use those very powerful hunting bows at this time. How could they be so miserable?
If you can have 10,000 strong crossbows and 30,000 strong bows, then distribute them.
Let those Orions in Lu Yuan's army who are good at shooting replace their shotguns with cannons, and in an instant, the long-range strike capability of his army will increase several times.
The other 50,000 swords and spears each are inferior to the armor and strong bows, but they can also greatly alleviate Lu Yuan's lack of ordinary weapons and give his army a new round of equipment.
In short, all the above-mentioned military aids are in place. I dare not say that there are too many. It is possible to increase the combat strength of the 100,000 soldiers in Lu Yuan's hands by half or even double.
This is only aid to the army.
Compared with the fifty divine blood elixirs and three first-class martial arts that follow, they are not bad at all.
Let's not talk about those first-class skills. Lu Yuan is not lacking in these and is not very interested in them.
But fifty divine blood elixirs, if used properly, can directly train Lu Yuan to nearly ten first-class masters.
If he could be assisted by so many top-notch experts, the top-end combat power he originally lacked would become abundant in an instant.
Not to mention guarding the existing territory, even controlling a county is more than enough.
To sum up, this time Danding Dao provided so much assistance and was so generous, it is no wonder that Lu Yuan was stunned.
"Gulu..."
Lu Yuan swallowed hard. After coming back to his senses, he looked at Master Anqiu's smiling face and couldn't help but confirm: "Is what Master Anqiu just said true?"
He couldn't believe that Dan Ding Dao could give so many good things for just a little help.
real.
Originally, Lu Yuan only thought that Dan Ding Dao could give him a thousand taels of silver, and that would be enough.
But now it seems that this is not a thousand taels of silver.
All the aid added up, a thousand taels of silver doubled ten times, is barely enough for comparison.
There were so many benefits, which made Lu Yuan feel a little uneasy.
'I originally wanted to trick Dan Ding Dao, get the benefits, then default on the debt, and let them suffer this dumb loss.
But now the other party has invested so much, if I still refuse to pay.
I'm afraid that after hearing the news, the Taoist Master of the Alchemy Cauldron will be unable to help but come out from the mountain gate and travel thousands of miles south to take my life, right? '
Lu Yuan felt a headache in his heart when he thought of this possibility.
The more Dan Ding Dao takes this matter seriously, the more risks and blows he will bear when he falls out with the other party in the future.
By now, he was somewhat giving up.
After all, even without the aid of Alchemy Dao, as long as some time passes, he can successfully destroy the Iron Sword Sect.
So, although the benefits obtained are not as good as this aid, they are still one-fourth or five-fifths.
Although these gains are not too much, they can still support the troops in hand for several months and a half.
If the Miao people can be successfully surrendered later, they will also be able to obtain the goods they previously looted from Dongting County, which is also a huge amount of income.
If there is still not enough, you can even ask Yan Wangqiu, Su Xuange and others to borrow some money and food to support them.
With many sources of money and food, it was enough for Lu Yuan to fight for a year and a half.
There is really no need to provoke Danding Dao and offend such a great sect.
But just when he was thinking this.
"These promises are naturally true."
I saw Master Anqiu confirming Lu Yuan's question, and then explained: "The reason why our Taoist has not responded to fellow Taoists this time is to raise these aids for fellow Taoists.
Now tens of millions of taels of silver have been transported from Liang State to Dongting County.
Two million stones of grain have also been purchased from all over the country of Yue through the channels of our Danding Dao, and can be transported to fellow Taoists at any time.
Those weapons and armor are somewhat difficult to transport because they are suspected of being prohibited. But it can be shipped within two or three months. "
When Master Anqiu said this, he took out a jade box and three books from his arms, waved them in front of Lu Yuan: "As for the fifty divine blood pills and three first-class exercises, the old Taoist has already I brought a fellow Taoist, you can take it."
After saying that, Master Anqiu sent the things over.
Lu Yuan looked at this scene and couldn't help but swallow the words that were on his lips.
Aland Cauldron has prepared everything. Now that he wants to withdraw, the other party will probably not agree.
After all, there are so many aid materials this time. If you want to mobilize them and transport them, it will probably consume a lot of resources.
Even Lu Yuan, who said it was comparable to aid supplies, believed it.
The other party has paid such a price, and if you say you don't want it, then you don't want it. Do you really think that they are easy to bully?
If he didn't say it here, the old Taoist Anqiu in front of him immediately turned against him and started to fight against him.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but swallowed when he thought of the other party's identity as a senior immortal cultivator.
Although he has also become an immortal, he is also an innate martial artist.
But when it came to facing Anqiu Lao Dao, to be honest, he was really not sure that he could beat the opponent or even survive from the opponent's hands.
Thinking of this, he could only show a smile, reached out to take the jade box and the secret book, and said, "Thank you so much, fellow Taoist."
