As he spoke, the void became distorted.
Marshal Zhao Gongming of Qiuwen appeared in the Guanshuai Temple astride a black tiger, holding an iron whip in one hand and a treasure in the other. He had a black face and a thick beard, and was in full military uniform.
“Brother Gongming (I’ve met the true king)!”
When everyone saw this, they all saluted.
Chu Chen was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he quickly figured out the way.
In fact, he flew to the Guan Commandery Mansion to recruit troops. General Zhou Cang could have told the truth, but the other party did not mention the reason. It was clear that he wanted him to go there in person.
Not to mention, Lao Liu rushed to pick him up as soon as he left the underworld.
Each pile, each piece, is like a "containment" for him to drill into.
But now, the person who "took advantage of" has appeared.
At this thought, Chu Chen couldn't laugh or cry, Zhao Caishen thought highly of him too much.
"True Lord, it's not that I don't want to arrest Guo Liang, but I'm overly motivated and unable to do so. Currently in the Dachang Dynasty, a group of top powerhouses are searching for the whereabouts of the plague god Guo Liang. There is no news so far. I'm afraid it's hard for me to shoulder the heavy responsibility."
Chu Chen told the truth, although he was eager to recruit troops and raise a hundred thousand troops to guard the Cave Heaven Paradise, he did not dare to promise anything to the Immortal God.
Zhao Gongming, the God of Autumn Plague, was not surprised when he heard this.
Things were inherently difficult, and he knew the situation very well.
Originally, he did not put his hope in Chu Chen, but in the Immortal Court of Dachang Celestial Dynasty to help him solve this problem. Unfortunately, the Immortal Court of Dachang Celestial Dynasty disappointed him so much that the reward was not given even after it was increased. A ring came.
On the contrary, Chu Chen's rise made him quite unexpected and pleasantly surprised.
There is a huge gap between the level of the fourth-level great magical power monks and the upper-level third-level great supernatural power monks. He had never thought that Chu Chen could help him solve the troublesome matter of "Guo Liang". But now, Chu Chen has become a third-level Taoist monk, which makes him My eyes lit up and I saw hope.
Speaking of which, Chu Chen was the first person to discover that "Plague God Guo Liang" had escaped into Dachang.
The more advanced one's Taoist practice is, the more important it is to pay attention to the word "conditional method".
He had an inexplicable intuition in his heart, feeling that Chu Chen was the "destined person" to help him solve his troubles.
"Little friend Chu, you have to help me. If you let Guo Liang and that guy start another plague, I will be left with nothing to eat."
Zhao Gongming looked quite sincere:
"I don't insist on how long it will take to capture Guo Liang. I would like to ask little friend Chu to be considerate and pay more attention. If there is a chance, I will kill that guy. I will be very grateful!"
Speaking of this, what else could Chu Chen say, and he immediately wanted to agree.
"A true king, I will do my best."
Just when he was about to speak, Guan Shuai on the side suddenly said:
"Brother Gongming, if you want the horses to run away, you have to let them eat grass. If you ask people to help you catch the plague ghosts, you have to express your gratitude."
Zhao Gongming, the God of Autumn Plague, laughed loudly when he heard this and nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, yes."
As he said that, Zhao Dacai looked at Chu Chen with a smile:
"Little friend Chu, I heard that you plan to recruit 100,000 troops?"
When Chu Chen heard this, he felt inexplicably excited and nodded repeatedly:
"Exactly!"
"Hahaha~ It's easy to talk about. I will help you solve it with the customs clearance document."
Zhao Gongming, the God of Autumn Plague, pondered for a while and said:
"As for the money needed to recruit 100,000 soldiers and horses, I have also helped you out. I will allocate you 100,000 soldiers and horses in one go!"
Good guy!
What a grand gesture!
Chu Chen and Lao Liu took a deep breath together.
He is worthy of being the God of Wealth. He is very wealthy and can command hundreds of thousands of troops at a time.
Even if these "100,000 soldiers and horses" are all sixth-grade soldiers and horses, and it costs 2,000 jade coins to recruit one person, one hundred thousand soldiers and horses is equivalent to 200 million jade coins.
This handwriting is really jaw-dropping.
Originally, Chu Chen only planned to recruit more than 80,000 soldiers and horses, and the first batch of soldiers and horses only planned to recruit 40,000 soldiers and horses, in order to reduce the pressure of "raising troops". This was not the best choice, but a helpless choice due to limited funds.
However, I never expected that the plan would not keep up with the changes.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Gongming, the god of autumn plague, changed hands and gave away 100,000 soldiers and horses for free. He was really dozing off, and someone brought him a pillow.
The God of Autumn Plague, Zhao Gongming, noticed Chu Chen's heartbeat and smiled slightly. Then, he changed the topic and said:
"But, these soldiers and horses are not given for free. It lasts for ten years. Within ten years, you help me kill Guo Liang, the god of plague. I don't need any money to recruit soldiers. I give them to you for free. If it doesn't work, you can pay me the original price." ,what do you think?"
When Chu Chen heard this, he felt slightly happy.
At first, he was a little worried when he heard that Zhao Caishen gave him 100,000 soldiers and horses for free, but after hearing the following, he suddenly felt at ease.
The bet made by Zhao Gongming, the God of Autumn Plague, was quite sincere and very beneficial to him.
There is no need to go into details about how he killed the plague god Guo Liang.
To say the least, it was a very good deal if he did not kill Guo Liang in ten years.
It is equivalent to Zhao Caishen giving him a ten-year interest-free loan, and also helping him get the customs clearance documents so that he can get on the bus in advance, recruit a hundred thousand troops in one step, and train them early.
For him, it was also a great thing.
It can be said that no matter from any angle, this bet is quite sincere, and Chu Chen really can't think of a reason to refuse.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao Zhen, for taking care of me. I will do my best to capture and kill Guo Liang!"
"Great kindness!"
Zhao Gongming, the God of Autumn Plague, stroked his beard and was very satisfied.
While speaking, Chu Chen thought of something and asked:
"Zhenjun, if someone else kills Guo Liang, what will happen to him?"
"It's easy to say. If someone else kills Guo Liang, you give half of the recruitment money and the other half as a bonus!"
"The true gentleman is magnificent!"
Two days later.
Since that incident happened a few years ago, countless underworld gods have been beheaded and exterminated, reviled and reincarnated, and ended up miserable. Today, the guardian of the ghost gate seems to be extremely well-behaved.
After Chu Chen presented the [Customs Clearance Document] from the Qiuwen God's Mansion and the Fengdu Recruitment Certificate, the guards immediately arranged the inspection process, not daring to get stuck or rip off, with a very good attitude.
After only half a day's work, the gate of hell was released.
With the gate of hell in Fengdu underworld closed, Chu Chen bowed his hand to Lao Liu, who had been by his side these past few days:
"Lao Liu, I'm going back to Dachang first. Let's have a good talk next time when we have time."
The little devil also popped up at this moment, a little reluctant to leave, and kept waving: "Senior Brother Lao Liu, remember to come to Dachang to play with us when you have time."
"Hahaha~"
After Lao Liu transformed into a human form, his figure was a bit dark and honest, but now, his smile was a bit chic:
"Why bother in the future? I will follow you back to Dachang today."
Chu Chen was slightly startled.
After becoming the God of Hades, it is not that easy to enter and exit the underworld.
Even if you want to go back to the world of Dachang, you can't go there. You can only come in an incarnation. Moreover, it is strictly supervised by the heaven. Even if Emperor Guan comes forward, it will be very troublesome. You have to wait and see the opportunity, not just go when you want.
But now, it is obvious that there must be a hidden meaning in what Lao Liu said so casually.
"Hehehe~"
Lao Liu saw the surprise and confusion in Chu Chen's eyes and said with a smile:
"I no longer deserve to be a god. I will follow Brother Chu back to Dachang to practice."
"ah!"
The little ghost opened his mouth wide, and even he knew that Lao Liu's behavior was a bit shocking:
"You behave like a good God and return to the world of Dachang. I'm afraid you are crazy!"
Chu Chen was also a little surprised, but he was not surprised like the little kid. He asked thoughtfully:
"Lao Liu, does Guan Di know? What do you think?"
"The emperor knows!"
Lao Liu pondered for a while and said: "We are all born in the world of Dachang. Now Dachang is surrounded by demons. I should go back to Dachang to practice. If nothing else, Brother Chu is affectionate and righteous to me, and I also want to help you."
"That's good!"
A smile appeared on Chu Chen's face.
Lao Liu has indeed broken the shackles, his understanding of the way of "loyalty" has become deeper, and his vision is extraordinary.
For Lao Liu, returning to Dachang World is indeed the best choice.
It is much easier to achieve enlightenment in the human world than in the heavenly underworld. With Lao Liu's qualifications, it would be a waste of talent to not go to the human world to work hard and achieve perfect cultivation but to become a god of the underworld in the underworld.
It was not easy for Lao Liu to practice to perfection in the underworld, but it was easier for him to practice to perfection in the world of Dachang and understand the profound "way of loyalty".
In the future, the achievements will be even greater.
However, it was not convenient for him to speak before. After all, the title of god is extremely precious. They have been fighting life and death in the human world to cultivate their merits, and they can only ask for this.
Now, seeing that Emperor Guan and Lao Liu had made this arrangement, he also strongly agreed.
While they were joking, the two of them did not linger any longer in front of the gate of hell. They led an army of 100,000 people and went straight into the void passage.
"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh"
Not long after, the Lingshan Sect in Yunzhou came to Qingchen Cave.
"Ooohhoho!"
A tiger roar came from far away. The powerful golden tiger guarding the cave heard the sound and rushed over after hearing the news. When he saw Chu Chen and Lao Liu, he was overjoyed:
"Sir, you are finally back."
Halfway through the words, Dali Huzi showed a look of astonishment.
There was no other reason. Outside the Qingchen Cave, the void was distorted and turned into a big hole.
In the large hole in the void, a burst of sound of gold and iron horses came from far to near, boiling and noisy, resounding throughout the world.
Immediately afterwards, flags fluttered, and a group of soldiers and horses flew out of the big hole in the void on black clouds.
At first, it was just a stream of soldiers and horses, not very eye-catching, but as the hole in the void grew larger, more and more soldiers and horses flew out, like a long dragon.
This shocking vision not only stunned Dali Golden Tiger, but even inspired the Lingshan Sect's mountain-protecting formation, with countless formations and formations quietly operating.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
For a time, the Lingshan Sect, which did not know the truth, was in a state of shock, with countless disciples running around in panic.
"Fellow Taoist, who are you? Come to our Lingshan Sect."
After the words fell, Taoist Fu Hua, Taoist Fu Ling, and Taoist Xu Ping hurried over. At first, the three thought that a powerful enemy who did not know the details had broken the formation, and quietly sneaked into the Lingshan Sect to summon an army to attack the Lingshan Sect. , everyone was subconsciously nervous.
However, when they actually arrived at the scene of the vision and saw Chu Chen relaxed and content, standing in the clouds, the three of them were stunned.
Taoist priest Xu Ping was stunned:
"This disciple, did you summon the soldiers and horses?"
"I didn't invite you."
Chu Chen saw his master and master were surprised and puzzled, and smiled: "These are the soldiers I just recruited."
Taoist Fu Hua, Taoist Fu Ling, and Xu Ping were stunned when they heard this, and then they all looked into the void, stunned.
What a grand gesture!
In an instant, with a rough sweep of their consciousness, the number of soldiers and horses in front of them exceeded 20,000, and soldiers and horses continued to pour out of the large hole in the void.
"this"
The three elders swallowed their saliva together, a little shocked:
"Zhenyi, how many troops have you recruited?"
"Fifty thousand soldiers and horses of the fifth grade, fifty thousand soldiers and horses of the sixth grade, a total of one hundred thousand troops."
"What! One hundred thousand soldiers and horses!"
Taoist Fu Hua and Taoist Fu Ling were dumbfounded: "You are too generous."
Chu Chen smiled, feeling a little helpless.
Originally, he thought it would be enough to recruit 100,000 sixth-grade Fengdu Yin soldiers. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhenjun, the God of Autumn Plague, recruited 50,000 fifth-grade and sixth-grade soldiers and horses for him. In addition, he also sent 20 fifth-grade and sixth-grade soldiers. Pinfengdu is a ghost general.
This result was good, but on the other hand, his debt risk increased.
The original debt of up to 200 million has now become 350 million.
Obviously, this was the God of Wealth Zhao putting pressure on him to make him pay more attention to capturing Guo Liang, the God of Plague.
On the other side, Taoist priest Xu Ping, who was from a high-level position in Xianting, was surprised when he heard this and frowned slightly:
"Disciple, not everyone can recruit a hundred thousand troops."
Chu Chen understood that his master, Taoist Xu Ping, was worried that he would raise soldiers and horses privately and cause trouble, so he smiled and did not hide anything:
"Don't worry, my disciple asked Mr. Ming Jing for permission. I only recruited him after he approved it. I am not acting recklessly."
"I see!"
Taoist priest Xu Ping and the other three suddenly realized.
"One of the few top immortal sects in the world of immortality, the local god overlord maintains a hundred thousand soldiers and horses under his command, and can recruit soldiers and horses whenever trouble occurs. It is really majestic."
Taoist Fuhua's face was filled with joy and emotion:
"Unexpectedly, for decades, our Lingshan faction can one day can hold 100,000 soldiers, oh, Guangzong Yaozu!"
"indeed."
Taoist Fu Ling smiled and echoed:
"Back then, when I went out for training, I was envious when I met a comrade with such a top background."
"Master, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. The right to recruit 100,000 troops was only given to me and cannot be passed on to the Lingshan Sect."
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he added:
"However, as long as the disciples are here, the Lingshan Sect disciples can be summoned."
Chu Chen plans to train this 100,000-strong army in the Lingshan Sect and use it as the Lingshan Sect's suppressing army. It will temporarily serve as the sect's foundation. When the time is right, he will send soldiers and horses to Dongtian Paradise to guard it.
It's not that he doesn't want to take a hundred thousand soldiers and horses under his command and refine the troops with him, but he really has no means to "retract the troops".
Whether it is the "Third-grade Great Cave Urn", "Tianxin General Summoning Urn", or treasures such as the Iron-Blooded Red Heart Treasure Gourd, they can contain at most 8,000 soldiers and horses, and they cannot be carried around at will.
Unless, one day, he gets a top-notch magic weapon suitable for refining weapons, which can defeat an army of 100,000 in one breath.
When the time comes, that will be awesome.
Commanding an army of 100,000 people, killing gods when gods block them, and killing Buddhas when Buddha blocks them, is really impressive.
Of course, Chu Chen is just thinking about it now. The top-level weapon refining magic weapon is extremely precious and not so easy to obtain.
Instead of thinking about these things, it is better to improve your Taoist and magical powers. After all, only if I am strong as a general, can an army of 100,000 exert its astonishing power to defeat the immortals, gods and demons.
What Chu Chen didn't know was that the scene of his deep contemplation fell into the eyes of his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping.
"Eh~"
Taoist Master Xu Ping sighed quietly. As a master, he knew his eldest apprentice very well. He had long noticed that the apprentice seemed to have something on his mind and was under some huge pressure.
In the past, when the apprentice was weak, he, as the master, could still help.
And now.
Taoist Xu Ping shook his head and sighed in his heart. Xu thought of something, and sent a message to Chu Chen with his spiritual consciousness:
"Disciple, your father-in-law came to your door yesterday and gave you a treasure. Since you were not in the cave, I collected it for you."
Father-in-law came yesterday? !
Chu Chen was inexplicably surprised when he heard this.
One hundred thousand soldiers and horses will not greatly improve his Taoist and magical abilities for the time being, but what his father-in-law sent is different. It is a treasure that truly enhances his strength.
The Divine Origin Orb is finally here!
