Tang Ping changed his strategy.
With the improvement of cultivation, the training of subordinates does not necessarily have to start over. After all, the time is too long. Even a genius will need more than three hundred years to become a talent; to become a top master, it will take at least five hundred years.
In the past, my cultivation was low and I could only cultivate talents from scratch.
Now that the system has just been established and there are magical weapons for self-defense, even if they are not on their own territory, it is not a problem to deal with people who are much stronger than themselves.
Therefore, talents can be absorbed and some ancient creatures can be considered, especially those who cannot survive.
The twilight candlelight falls into this category.
Strictly speaking, the candle-bearing snake counts, but this guy is not very safe.
The candle-bearing snake relies on candlelight to survive, but its Taoism is its own. After this beast is alive, it will inevitably not take action against itself.
After much deliberation, I decided to recruit two sisters to try the waters.
Seeing that the two women were a little stunned, Tang Ping said again, "Are you willing to join Shinto?"
"You... actually refined Canghai Tianzhu!" Zhuguang said in surprise.
It goes without saying that Canghai Tianzhu is powerful, but this is not the reason why it is difficult to refine, but because Canghai Tianzhu has its own master.
The owners are two sisters, Xiaoming Zhuguang, the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven.
When Emperor Shun fell in Cangwu, the ministers rioted. These strange people and beasts lost the suppression of the Emperor of Heaven, and they immediately split up and fought. The two women were injured, and the divine fire in their bodies was taken away, and they were made into the Canghai Heavenly Candle.
But the two of them are not dead, and the candle-bearing snake has been unable to refine this thing.
But I didn't expect that it would be refined by Tang Ping today. This is really rare.
Doesn't it mean that their lives are controlled?
Today, the status of both parties has suddenly reversed.
Whether it was the unruly candlelight or the calm Xiaoming, the two of them understood one thing. Tang Ping's words were not to discuss, but to give them a choice.
Either gain freedom and choose to become a god; or refuse and be trapped here forever. In serious cases, Tang Ping may be angered and killed.
"We chose to become gods, but then again, what are your gods?" Xiao Ming was puzzled.
"What is it?"
This sentence actually made Tang Ping ask, what is a god?
Isn’t this something that has existed since the birth of humankind?
Wind, thunder, rain, lightning, mythical beasts, ancestors... people regard them as gods, and they are enlightened and spiritual.
After thinking for a long time, Tang Ping gave the answer and said: "Our Shinto is the order of heaven and earth. Come with me."
Two balls of fire flew out of the Canghai Tianzhu in Tang Ping's hand. The firelight formed auspicious clouds, supporting the bodies of the two people, and part of the flame power poured into their bodies. Xiaoming Candlelight's eyebrows bloomed with a faint red light.
"This is……"
Before Tang Ping could answer, Huo Yun carried the two of them to the outside of the Xiang River.
This is the first time the two of them have gone out to the outside world since they woke up.
The long-lost feeling of freedom made the two feel relaxed and happy.
The fire cloud flew near Qunyu Mountain.
This is the headquarters of Shinto.
Here, the two also saw the so-called order.
Shinto is not simply about enjoying incense. You must know that the necessary condition for the promotion of a god is to see whether he has sorted out the filthy atmosphere of heaven and earth.
In this era, most places were uninhabitable at all, and the south, which was looked down upon by others, was even more uninhabitable, with hot and humid weather and miasma and poisonous water.
Within the scope of Shinto, most of the land sealed by the gods basically looks like this. They work day and night to sort out the environment to make it habitable, allowing people to migrate there, and the population grows with the habitable place.
After the sorting is completed, it is not over, but it is more busy. They are responsible for the security of the territory. Some will recruit ghost soldiers to patrol, while others use birds as their eyes and ears, and beasts as soldiers to serve them.
You must ensure that there is no trouble in the territory. If you encounter monsters and ghosts causing trouble, you must personally go into battle to kill the enemy.
Don't think that you can sit back and relax after becoming a god. The mortality rate of pioneer gods is one-fifth, and the mortality rate of other gods in mature lands is one-twentieth.
After a war, this number can be doubled several times.
Therefore, there is no situation where the quota is full, and with the positions reserved in advance, Tang Ping can always find a suitable position to reward newcomers.
Tang Ping introduced it once, and then did not explain it again, letting the two of them realize it on their own.
"The blue strands on the road open up the mountains and forests."
The two of them chanted this sentence. This is the spirit that has been implemented since the founding of the Chu State. After more than ten generations, it has been deeply ingrained in the blood of the nation.
After the two looked at each other for a while, Xiaoming took the lead and said, "We are willing to join Shinto."
"Okay, I will confer you two as the goddess of Xiangshui."
Tang Ping condensed two talismans. He said not to resist, and then the two talismans sank into the foreheads of the two women.
Xiaoming was the first to open her eyes, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of surprise, and she immediately understood the mystery of Shinto.
No wonder it is the order of heaven and earth. It is connected with heaven and earth. Naturally, it is the guardian of the order of heaven and earth. It is born to maintain order.
Otherwise, if others destroy their homes and kill all their believers, what will they use for cultivation?
"Understand it carefully. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
Two masters of travel, you can sit back and relax.
Although they are not in peak condition and have not fully recovered their strength, the two of them combined are equivalent to a single flight, right?
Like the Yin Shen above Yuanyu and the Apparition, both have condensed inner elixirs in their bodies. The inner elixir is the essence of the whole body's cultivation. At this stage, the combat effectiveness will undergo earth-shaking changes.
It is best for two people to guard the orthodoxy.
The Xiangshui River was originally managed by Wu Ji. There is nothing to take over now. Just leave a few tributaries. This guy is not practicing water magic at all. The Sealing Water God is useless to him. Now that the Yin Earth has not expanded, he can only feel aggrieved. He did.
Several people returned to Xiangshui and experimented with their magical power by candlelight at night, and had a great time.
Tang Ping sat in front of Bailongdong Mansion, waiting for them quietly. This was also a process of adapting to his identity.
Soon, the two came back.
Tang Ping suddenly asked at this time: "I have a doubt. What is the basis for what you said about getting the divine fire and resurrecting Emperor Shun and the second concubine? We are on the same boat now, so there is no need to hide this, right? "
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "My father was not buried in Cangwu Mountain, but in an unknown fairy mountain in Yunmengze. The coffin is not known to anyone. The second concubine was buried in the Xiangshui River. We have also searched for it over the years. Xiangshui At the end of the water is Yunmengze, and maybe the body is also in Yunmengze."
They said that they could resurrect their father by taking back the divine fire. This was just self-comfort. They thought that after regaining their freedom, they could return to Yunmengze to find their father. Now that they were free, they ended up looking confused and without a clue.
"What about the elixir?"
"The elixir was not found, only clues, and the clues were buried with my father."
"It's still a long time. While you are cultivating and recovering, you can enter the Yunmeng water system to check it out. Also, the water vapor here must be sorted out to make this place livable."
Tang Ping also gave instructions without hesitation.
The elixir was dispensable, but when he learned that Yuren's bronze sacred tree might have the ability to elixir, he was a little tempted.
The elixir of death can extend the lifespan of most people, which is best for Shinto. Otherwise, even becoming a god will not extend the lifespan, which would be too embarrassing.
But this also depends on the type of elixir. The Emperor of Heaven passed down eight kinds of elixirs. These eight kinds of elixirs may have different properties. Maybe the elixir of the Yu people is to extend the life of a race. At least I haven’t heard of which of the Yu people is immortal. of.
Tang Ping returned to the cave.
The Dongfu practice room is very simple, with a futon-like thing, a material cabinet full of grids, and a stone platform filled with miscellaneous items.
Jade tripod, Wanlong jade seal, Canghai Tianzhu...all kinds of sacred objects are placed everywhere.
After the war comes calm.
Tang Ping didn't know what to do.
You still need to continue to refine the Ten Thousand Fire God Curse, and you must refine it to different flames. In this way, you can refine the elixirs that are constantly facing many difficulties.
Practicing the basic skills, I passed one-fifth of the time without realizing it.
In more than a hundred years, we will almost be able to break through to the later stage.
"Forget it, let's make a pill first."
He took the jade tripod and transformed it into a wisp of candlelight, and the flame burned brightly under the jade tripod.
With the new flame, the efficiency of alchemy has been increased several times.
Tang Ping had the idea of developing elixirs again.
In addition to practicing elixirs, there are also various functional elixirs, such as invisibility, healing, etc.
There was plenty of time, so it was quite interesting.
Sunrise and sunset.
Thirty years passed by in a flash.
I wish you a breakthrough to manifest your spirit (dinxia) and extend your life for 500 years.
In thirty years, many people have reached the end of their lifespan and disappeared into the long river of history.
In Bailongdong Mansion, a batch of fresh elixirs were released.
Tang Ping stood up and stretched. The ghost did not make this move, but was just used to it: "Oh, there are no enemies anymore."
Yu Renqing is dead, Jiang Feng is dead.
Most of the people who directly had hatred against him were dead. The hatred of the Tang family back then was also avenged, and the motivation was suddenly reduced a lot.
Of course, there are many people who have indirect enemies, including the ancient Wuxia Kingdom, Dayi merchants, and the Yuren clan.
There are thousands of countries in the world.
They used human blood for sacrifices and believed in witches and ghosts.
Mortals are the foundation of Shinto and the source of spiritual practice. For these people and countries, they are theoretically their enemies.
So you still can't relax, lest someone catches your eye.
Tang Ping's guess was correct. Someone was indeed eyeing this vast land.
At the end of the Xiangshui River, the river water merges into large tributaries, and the tributaries divide into countless small tributaries. These water flows along the mountains, and when viewed from a high altitude, they are a dense network of water, cutting a flat continent.
There are also lakes like a network of stars.
Waves of water mist cover the earth, and the mountains are looming, like fairy mountains blocked by white clouds in the sky.
Yunmengze is rich in products and is home to immortals.
There are even ancient civilizations buried in the lakes and swamps. There are also rumors that these ancient civilizations have not disappeared, but live in very hidden ways and are not known to anyone. Strangers once went deep into Yunmeng Ze and saw cities, tribes, And war.
Ahead are dots of lakes again.
A little further forward from the tributaries that the Xiang River joins, there are these lakes.
But these lakes are different, and their arrangement is very strange.
It looks like stars over the moon.
Ten circular lakes two miles wide, forming a circle surrounding a mountain.
The fairy mountain keeps spewing out clouds, which turn into clouds, then fall into rain, and the rain turns into streams.
It is obviously a mountain, but it can spit out clouds, and the clouds turn into water, and the water gathers into lakes and streams.
It is like a cyclic ecological environment.
There are two women on the cloud, they are the gods of Xiang River.
Looking down from the sky, the ten lakes are not natural lakes, but large pits dug by humans. Lakes were formed due to excessive rain.
The water in the lake was so clear that both of them could see the bones at the bottom of the lake.
"Dog bone pit, human bone pit, cow bone pit, chicken bone pit, dolphin bone pit... jade pit. Is this a sacrificial object? There are actually people here."
Only then did the two of them notice two huge stone drums on the mountain.
"Dong dong dong!"
At this time, the stone drum rang, and a group of Wuyangyang people rode on the clouds and landed at the foot of the mountain.
There is an altar made of stones by the lake, and soldiers with stone helmets come out of the mist in the distance. Dogs, cattle, pigs, sheep and humans are on bronze carts.
These people were dressed in colorful clothes, tall and had their hands above their knees. Other than that, other places are no different from ordinary places.
Under each lake altar, there is a group of people dressed more strangely, with red coats, the men wear red evil ghost masks, and the women wear golden fairy masks. The masks are surrounded by pale hair, which is as long as the waist.
There are ten for each altar, a total of one hundred people.
They danced to the beat of drums and chanted ancient songs.
Sacrifices were constantly being killed and thrown into the lake, and the lake surface was dyed red with blood.
The clouds and mist dispersed, and the true faces of the two stone drums were revealed.
Two miles in diameter and ten miles apart, there are two tattooed arms holding stone hammers and hammering drums.
The reason why it is said to be two arms is not to say that it is a person, but because it really only has two arms.
Two arms stretched out from the clouds, and looking at the clouds, it didn't look like they could hide a torso.
Soon, the sacrifice ended and the arms disappeared.
Ten huge turtle shells of different colors and patterns are suspended in the sky on the top of the mountain.
Out of the mist came a nine-foot-long man with a more terrifying mask and more ornate robes.
"The divine turtle has spoken, and the Daxi tribe can come out of the mountains."
The priest pointed south, his square pupils shining with greed.
"There is fertile land and countless people worshiping the gods."
"Master Nuo, isn't that the south?" someone asked.
The South is notoriously poor.
The voice was heard by the Nuo Lord on the mountain. He smiled and said: "No, someone has already opened up the land for us. The Daxi people can go out and receive everything the gods have given us."
"color!!"
The Daxi people quickly disappeared into the mist.
The two looked at each other, and their bodies turned into flames and disappeared.
In Bailongdong Mansion, Tang Ping was not surprised but overjoyed when he heard the reports from the two women.
"Can mountains produce clouds? Clouds turn into water, and water gathers into streams? That's a lot of money."
There is another underworld contract that has not been used. By concluding this mountain, doesn't it mean that the Yin earth, water flow and even misty clouds can be expanded at the same time.
He might have a chance to become a Cloud God.
"But there is a witch on the mountain, and the witch is very strong."
"You can trap them, as long as they dare to come."
"There are ten unknown turtle gods on the mountain."
"I have methods. Maybe they are very strong, but there is a high probability that they will become your colleagues and my subordinates."
The two women couldn't help but feel pity for the Turtle when they thought about what happened to them.
After concluding this mountain, if the ten turtles cannot leave the mountain, wouldn't it be a big profit?
Of course, early expansion is necessary, and it is impossible to master all of this mountain from the beginning.
Besides, Tang Ping hasn't found a way to conclude it yet.
