Knead the technique with your hands and point your finger knowingly.
The spiritual talisman turned into a pale white smoke cloud, and Han Chen's figure emerged out of thin air in the mist, cupping his fists and saluting.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, long time no see."
"Fellow Daoist Han!"
Chu Chen returned the favor with a smile. He and Han Chen were already close to each other. Ever since he lent the "Five Elements Fetus" to help Han Chen break through the bottleneck, the relationship between the two had become even closer.
He is a Taoist friend on the road of spiritual practice, and he is also a natural ally who does not form an alliance when working as an errand in the Immortal Court.
Speaking of which, the two of them are currently in similar situations.
Chu Chen made a breakthrough by chance at the East China Sea Feast and reached the fifth level of Taoism. He has devoted himself to cultivating in the Taoist Academy for the past year.
Han Chen's situation is similar. After he resigned from the post of director of the Ghost and God Department in Guangping County, he was directly transferred back to the Imperial Taoist Academy to practice his natal supernatural powers and has been cultivating to this day.
The two of them had been meditating for a year and had no contact. When they met again, they were quite emotional and missed the days when they worked together with ghosts and gods in Guangping County.
After some pleasantries, Han Chen remembered something, looked apologetic, and apologized to Chu Chen:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, when my junior disciple was chatting with friends, he accidentally revealed the situation of my breakthrough to outsiders, and leaked the fact that you lent me the Five Elements Fetus."
When Chu Chen heard this, he suddenly realized. He was also wondering why Li Guang suddenly knew that he had lent the "Five Elements Fetus". It turned out that the source really came from Han Chen's sect.
The Dachang Dynasty was vast and vast, and it looked big, but the real circle of the upper class was not that big.
Li Guang was from a large Immortal Sect and had a wide network of contacts in the imperial capital, so it was not surprising that the news reached his ears.
"I have been practicing Qiang for the past few days, and I just heard about this today. Li Guang seems to be a big guy, but he is actually a bit petty and petty. He must have given you a lot of trouble recently, right?"
Han Chen was very embarrassed.
When he accidentally encountered the opportunity for breakthrough, his master went into seclusion. Thanks to Chu Chen's "Five Elements Embryo", he did not miss the opportunity for breakthrough.
This is a great favor to help the Tao.
Now that something like this happened, he couldn't bear it.
"Hahaha~ It doesn't matter!"
Chu Chen smiled, quite calmly, and said: "Li Guang did not want to see me a few days ago, but I am not in the Ghosts and Gods Division, so there is nothing he can do to me."
"Besides, I'm not a fool. At most, he won't give me a good look, and he won't dare to openly target me and Master directly."
Seeing that Chu Chen was calm, Han Chen nodded slightly.
Xu Ping has the influence left by Taoist Yunlei. Although he is the newly promoted deputy governor, his position is very secure. Chu Chen himself is also the mountain chief of the fifth-grade Taoist academy.
The influence of the master and apprentice in Guangping County should not be underestimated.
"Fellow Daoist Han, this is a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. You didn't come to me specifically for this matter, did you?"
Chu Chen was a little surprised. This was not an important matter. Lao Han could contact him through other methods, so why waste a precious ten thousand miles transmission note.
This kind of one-time transmission sound for thousands of miles is worth a lot of money. If it is not important, it would be a bit of a waste.
"That's not true. I have something else to do with you."
Han Chen smiled and asked:
"How is the tide situation in Guangping County?"
Chu Chen said truthfully: "The county government, the county ghosts and gods department, the ghosts and gods of the mountains, rivers, land, and the underworld, and the people in various places have suffered casualties, but the situation is still stable, and we have safely passed through the early stages of the tidal natural disaster."
"Hmm~ This situation is not bad."
Han Chen was not surprised, but he had a complex look on his face and sighed:
"Unfortunately, this is just the beginning of the tidal disaster. The next few years will be the real test."
Chu Chen also knew this truth. Although the first wave of the tide was fierce, it could last for a long time. If the Celestial Empire was properly prepared, it would soon be able to control the situation and quell the turmoil.
The next small-scale and continuous tide of evil energy in various places is the most deadly.
In the next few years, the power of demons will expand rapidly, and the empire will be under great pressure from internal and external troubles.
"Fellow Daoist Han, the important thing you want to ask me about is related to the evil tide?"
"good!"
Han Chen nodded, and then looked around Chu Chen's surroundings. When he saw that it was a private study, he immediately said mysteriously:
"After the evil tide ended, the officials invited Mr. Ming Jing to the palace overnight last night to discuss important matters. Do you know what the two supreme beings of the Celestial Dynasty discussed?"
Chu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Fellow Daoist Han, don't try to titillate me. How would I know?"
Han Chen laughed loudly and did not continue to whet his appetite, but said casually:
"In the next few years, the world was full of chaos and turmoil. The officials wanted Mr. Mingjing to go out of the customs and enter the wilderness of the southwest to guard the borders and combat the arrogance of the demons. The officials then personally marched into the northwest to wipe out the demonic atmosphere. .”
The so-called "outside the pass" refers to the land outside the Central Land of Kyushu.
The land in the middle land of Kyushu is the place where the Dachang Celestial Dynasty thrives. It is rich in products and has a dense population. It is the foundation of the country and the country. Therefore, the heavenly dynasty set up a border on the border of the middle land of Jiuzhou, guarded it with heavy troops, and deployed a shocking barrier to protect the land in the middle land.
In fact, the territory of Dachang Dynasty extended far beyond Kyushu.
In addition to the middle land of Kyushu, there are many barren states and counties outside the pass.
In the past, Taizu's fist controlled the world and wiped out the evil atmosphere. The entire continent fell into the hands of the Dachang Dynasty, and then the world was divided into ninety-nine states.
However, even when the Celestial Dynasty was at its peak, the demons declined and their power was compressed to the northwest and southern corners of the continent to survive, the Celestial Dynasty was not able to swallow up the entire continent.
The reason is no other than insufficient population.
The natural environment in the wilderness is harsh. Even if the demons recede, ferocious beasts, insects, poisonous miasma, etc., it is difficult for ordinary people to survive.
Unable to immigrate to the wilderness in large numbers and actually control the wilderness, over time, the demonic forces recuperated and slowly recovered their strength. Naturally, they began to occupy a large amount of uninhabited territory and swept back.
However, since the founding of the Dachang Dynasty, it has never given up the management of the wilderness outside the customs. The nominal territory of the Ninety-nine Prefectures has been reduced "since ancient times", but the actual controlled territory has not been reduced, but has been growing slowly and continuously.
As the Dachang Dynasty continued to expand outwards, the kingdom of demons and demons swept back. The good and the demons bordered on the wild demon realm and launched a protracted battle.
This is a war about "survival".
Neither side dared to give in.
Land is the foundation for the survival of living creatures and races.
Losing a vast territory means losing countless and endless resources, which means weakening the strength and shrinking the territory.
One goes down and the other goes up, and eventually the country is destroyed and people are destroyed. All the people in the world are reduced to livestock and allowed to be slaughtered by demons, entering the dark age.
The tide of evil is raging across the world, and demons are taking advantage of the right time and place to rise again. Neither the current Holy Lord Lingwei Emperor nor the next generation of the Supreme Ming Jing of the Celestial Dynasty will sit back and watch the demons rise again.
Chu Chen was shocked when he heard the news from Han Chen.
The tide of evil was raging, and the Celestial Empire did not choose a conservative strategy. Instead, it faced the battle with war, stationing heavy troops outside the pass to open up territory and attack the demonic forces.
Chu Chen quite recognized this:
"Han Du Guan, the decision made by the superiors is very wise. The tide of evil will be of great benefit to the demons. At this moment, the dynasty cannot retreat. If peace is sought through struggle, it will survive peacefully. If peace is sought through compromise, it will perish peacefully."
