"Well, a few days ago, some monks from the eastern part of Tianxuan came over. According to them, the east is already in chaos. The sects in the east are not as well prepared as our northern sects. The main reason is that their methods are not as vigorous as the alliance leader, and The implementation of various plans was not as fast as ours. As a result, the west has now been divided into countless forces. These forces not only attack each other, but also attack the bordering south, central and our north. However, those monks from the east come over At that time, when we were at war with the demon clan, they sent a small team to investigate, and we found out and arrested them. These information are all their confessions."
Gu Shuo looked solemn: "So, our real crisis is not the demon clan. The northern demon clan is not our opponent. When they continue to attack for a while, the demon clan will retreat. Then the demon clan will kill each other for food. , they will also eat monsters and beasts, but after being severely damaged by us, they should not dare to attack us humans. And when the monsters retreat, our real crisis will come."
"The leader is talking about the human race from other territories?"
"Yes!" Gu Shuo nodded solemnly: "It won't be long before the Tianxuan people will join forces to conquer each other. We can't control other places, and we won't invade other territories, but we must defend the North. Anyone who comes I will fight back all the humans who attack our Northland so hard that they will never dare to invade our Northland again. Only then will it be the time for us in the Northland to recuperate. .”
"Leader, do you think the east is already in chaos? Will the south, west and center also be in chaos?"
"If they hadn't fought for time and speed as vigorously as we in the North, chaos would have been inevitable."
Sun Yi's eyes flickered: "Leader, they can invade us, can't we invade them? If the enemy can go, I can go too!"
Gu Shuo glanced at him, and Sun Yi's expression changed slightly: "Leader, I am also thinking about the human race. If we can enter other territories and implement our strategy in the North, more humans in Tianxuan can survive. .”
"Even if you have this intention, you can't do it now!" Gu Shuo shook his head and said: "You have to remember that now is not the age of cultivation. It is the age of mortals. In other words, today's war is no longer about moving mountains and filling mountains. The war between monks in the sea is a war between mortals. Mortal wars fight for resources. As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses have used food and grass, they go first. We have no food now.
wait!
When next spring comes, the first batch of grain will be planted. Check out the harvest in the fall. Don't think too much. The climate has changed drastically and spiritual energy has dried up. It is not easy to grow a good harvest of food. It will take several years or even ten years of exploration. Only when we have accumulated enough food to support us in fighting a war will it be time to send out troops. For now, we just need to hold on to the north. "
"Alas..." Sun Yi sighed and looked at the bloody ground outside the city: "This is the first year of the catastrophe. When will the catastrophe end?"
Gu Shuo's expression changed, and he felt that a ray of charm had returned. Sixty-eight of his charms had returned, and he was only four short of them all.
The return of Dao Yun did not make Gu Shuo happy, but made Gu Shuo feel heavy. He hurriedly communicated with Sun Yi, and then flew towards Qingyun Sect on Xiaobing.
Sitting on Xiaobing's back, looking at the snow-covered ground below, a quick glance revealed the frozen bodies in the snow. This is still in the Northland, where I sit and prepare in advance, and my bones are frozen to death, but what about the whole Tianxuan?
Now he is too lazy to look at the wisp of Dao Yun that came back. Every time a wisp of Dao Yun comes back, his heart will become heavier. The reason why these Dao Yun came back must be that the host it possessed died. In the past ten years, not a single ray came back, but now in less than a year, sixty-eight rays have returned. It can be seen that the entire Tianxuan is now The death rate is so high and the whole Tianxuan is in chaos.
Time flies, and we have arrived in the second year of the catastrophe.
The ice and snow melt, and the earth revives.
The demon clan in the North has retreated, and it will be impossible not to retreat. Although many humans also died, the demon clan died even more. After all, the Monster Race is on an expedition, while the Human Race has built up defenses early and is waiting for work. Therefore, when spring returns to the earth, the clan war is over. However, the human race is not too happy, they are facing serious problems.
food!
Thanks to this clan war, although many humans died, a large number of monster corpses were also obtained. But no matter how many demon clan corpses there are, they will all be eaten at some point, not to mention that the demon clan has retreated.
Qingyun Sect Gu Shuo issued the order.
Order 1: Not only the four armies from the east, west, north and south must take turns entering the territory of the demon clan to hunt the demon clan, monsters and beasts. Moreover, the borders were opened to allow capable people to go out and hunt. This is a way to supplement food.
Order 2: Start spring plowing, and Qingyun Sect and various sects will provide food seeds.
Order 3: Gu Shuo begins to understand Beidi with the concept of country. It’s just that the term country was not introduced. Not only that, he also did not establish the power and name of a state capital or county. This was a decision he made after careful consideration. Because he knows that this is a world of immortal cultivation after all, but the spiritual energy is temporarily exhausted, and the spiritual energy will eventually be restored one day. Tianxuan is not a real mortal world.
If he founded a country, it would be governed by a system of counties. When the spiritual energy is restored, the behemoth of the country will definitely have a fierce conflict with the sect. The final result is not mentioned, but it will cause a catastrophe no less than the depletion of spiritual energy. A large number of people will definitely die, perhaps countless times more than those who die from spiritual energy exhaustion. The world he comes from, in the past history, a war for the Central Plains was fought, and it was not surprising that every room was empty.
What kind of world should be, what kind of rules should be used.
It is impossible for one rule to fit all the world.
Therefore, the method adopted by Gu Shuo is not to use the name of the kingdom, but to operate the governance method of the kingdom.
The first is centralization, which he has done. Nowadays, in the entire Northland, the five sects of Qingyun Sect, Liuyun Sect, Wuji Sect, Baiyue Sect, and Qingyi Sect have established a centralized department, which is similar to a court. The only voice in this court was Gu Shuo. After more than half a year, Gu Shuo's position has become increasingly solid.
Secondly, in the second year of the catastrophe, Gu Shuo began to select a thousand sects, and used these one thousand sects as network nodes to include the entire Northland into the management network. In other words, these thousand sects are actually equivalent to the state capitals and counties of a country, and the powers and responsibilities they exercise are also the powers and responsibilities of the state capitals and counties. However, there is no name for the prefecture or county, and it still exists in the form of a sect.
What Gu Shuo thinks is that people's thinking has inertia. Tianxuan people have been accustomed to thinking for more than 10,000 years, and although Gu Shuo governed the Northland in a country way. But in name it is still a sect concept. In this way, when the spiritual energy is restored, the minds of these sect monks will be immediately attracted to cultivation. At that time, even if I do not release the power and responsibility of these sects, these sects will slowly return to Tianxuan's original position. Tradition, back to the way it was.
The inertia of a world is not so easy to change. Once the spiritual energy is revived, those monks who first think of the monks will resume their cultivation and continue their cultivation. Those mundane things in the mortal world can't wait to stay away, so as not to account for the cause and effect. And there is no concept of kingdom in the hearts of mortals. The inertia of this world will make everything return to the way it was before.
Even if some mortals have thoughts in their hearts, after their spiritual energy is restored, the monks will look like ants. Not to mention becoming a god, even a Nascent Soul cultivator can kill thousands of troops with just one throw of his magical power. Such a world of cultivating immortals is not a world where a kingdom can appear.
Order 4: The four armies of Qinglong, Zhuque, Xuanwu and Baihu began to dispatch to quell the chaos.
The long winter has passed, but the food in the North has been almost exhausted. Under this situation, there has been chaos everywhere. Many people gathered together and started to rise up. In this chaos, the Demon Sect finally took action. It has become the largest force, and like a snowball, people from all over the world are flocking to it.
In the spring of the second year of the catastrophe, according to incomplete statistics, nearly two billion people in the Northland died, about 20% of the total population of the Northland.
Tianxuan is very large. The North Land alone is much larger than the entire earth where Gu Shuo came from, almost three times as big. Therefore, it accommodates nearly 10 billion people, but it is still vast and sparsely populated. Now that 20% of the people have died, it looks even more empty. In such a big world, if it were not for cultivating immortals, it would be impossible for a mortal to travel all over the Northland in his lifetime. Therefore, now that the spiritual energy is exhausted, it is really a long and arduous task to eliminate those forces that are robbing and killing people everywhere.
Fortunately, each sect still retains the flying monsters they raised before their spiritual energy was exhausted, such as lightning eagles, cranes, etc. Although it cannot transport troops, there is no problem in delivering messages.
Therefore, Gu Shuo not only sent out the four armies of Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu, but also used flying monsters to communicate with various sects and families, so that they could unite nearby and form an army to kill the rebels everywhere.
Five years of catastrophe.
Nearly four billion people died in the entire Northland, and the war has been almost extinguished. Only the remnants of the Heavenly Demon Sect are fleeing, and the entire Northland is chasing and intercepting them.
And in this year, the fifth sword mark finally left the south and entered the central part.
Riding on the horse, looking at the somewhat unfamiliar middle part, the fifth sword mark felt a lot of emotion.
Five years!
He has been on the road for the past five years and has experienced many battles. Without aura, the only way to fight is with the power and martial arts of the body. In the past five years, both his state of mind and martial arts seemed to have opened a new door.
He is a genius, an unparalleled genius. One of the basic conditions for a peerless genius is amazing understanding.
The experience of these five years has made his once young heart become vicissitudes of life, and his martial arts skills have reached a level that surprised even him. Originally as a monk, martial arts was only a short-term process for him. When he was not as good as the Qi refining stage, he no longer concentrated on martial arts, but began to concentrate on Taoism. But now he only has martial arts skills left. The sword he carried on his back became his best partner and his never-ending brother.
In the past five years, the world has been in chaos. He encountered combat almost every day. It's the kind of life and death battle. Sometimes you are facing one person, and sometimes you are facing a group of people. Sometimes we fight one battle a day, sometimes we fight several battles a day. Sometimes he kills, sometimes he is hunted.
】
His martial arts became the basis for his survival. He began to study martial arts, studying martial arts that he had long forgotten, and picked up the martial arts he had learned before the Qi refining period. It was a little unfamiliar at first, but gradually the sword became a part of his body, as if it was connected to his body. You know, he is not practicing the sword, but fighting life and death with the sword every day. This kind of progress is rapid.
This surprised him. He had never expected that in this world where spiritual energy was exhausted, he would form such a resonance with the sword in his hand, and be able to become one with the sword.
He raised his head and glanced in the direction of Shaoyang Sect, and cheered up.
Shaoyang Sect was still very far away. He roughly calculated that at his current speed, it would take about twelve years to reach Shaoyang Sect. This is despite constantly changing horses.
How to change horses?
Grab it!
Along the way, there are always people trying to rob him, so he robs them back. And sometimes what he rides is not a horse, but a tiger, leopard and other monsters. With his current strength, it would not be too difficult to capture a monster and subdue it. Sometimes he can catch a flying monster by chance, but this happens very rarely, so he has to try his luck. It happened that the flying monster landed on the ground and happened to be near him. In fact, there were countless flying monsters in the sky that swooped down to attack him, but he caught them in turn, defeated them, and became his means of transportation.
But once there is such an opportunity, the speed of the flying monster is so fast! The reason why he was able to move from the south to the central region in five years was largely due to several flying monsters.
As for the flying monster that Zeng was about to capture?
Die!
There was more than one flying monster in the sky. The worst time was that he had just defeated a flying monster and was flying in the sky. Less than an hour later, he encountered a group of flying monsters. He hurriedly pressed The flying monster fell towards the ground, and that's it. Not only was his flying monster dead, but he himself was seriously injured.
Seven years of catastrophe.
The entire Northland has finally entered a period of relative peace. In the past seven years, the chaos in various places has been calmed down. I don't know if all the Heavenly Demon Sect has been destroyed, but it has completely disappeared in the Northland. Maybe they were all extinguished, maybe there was still fire hiding. It took seven years for the people of the North to become accustomed to spiritual energy depletion and become proficient in planting in this environment.
Of course, in the past seven years, the population of Northland has been less than 5 billion. Almost half dead. But perhaps because of the decrease in population and the results of large-scale planting, the Northland began to prosper.
