Chapter 115: Sealing off the Valley Township

Black Cloud City.

"Defeat a thousand men with force?!"

After reading the reply from the psychic bird Cui Yu, Master Wen was shocked.

Even the matter of the Red Flame Demon was temporarily put aside.

The warriors could rely on the dragon scale armor to kill the warriors in the chaos? ! And there were three warriors and several inbound warriors?
Cui Yu said in the letter that there was a magician among the Chiyan monsters who was able to perform strange magic. He just happened to have the "Evil-Repelling Seal" given by the commander-in-chief Sun Wandong in his hand, which increased his power and allowed him to shoot and kill the monster with a bow and arrow.

That's right, in order to illustrate the seriousness and harm of the Red Flame Demons, Zhou Qingshan did not dare to conceal the cruelty and strength of these demons. At the same time, he also asked Lord Wen to give him a detailed book about strange people, strange skills and evil spirits.

Master Wen thought of the two women who followed Zhou Qingshan silently that day. As the master of the house, it was his duty to investigate Zhou Qingshan, the great sage.

Daxian's wife was Mr. Li's student. She basically had no social interaction in the martial arts hall. She practiced martial arts, read books, and fought, never slacking off for a moment... Only then, at the end of her course, she achieved the "Black Iron" evaluation with those meager resources of great medicine.

From the few words in this letter, we can get a glimpse of Mo Yanqiu's strength. He must be a potential "army-raising" talent. If he has the right silver and spirit seed resources, after time and training, he will most likely become the sixth military lord of Black Cloud City.

"This kind of mentality and understanding is close to peerless? Was it suppressed by Mr. Li? Or was it a backup plan left by Gu Changfeng?"

Master Wen muttered to himself.

Root, understanding, and character.

If one of these three standards surpasses the upper limit and reaches the golden level, he or she can become a "Tao Seed"-like existence.

Black Cloud City is the base camp and has spies. Every strong stranger who briefly appears in the city will be recorded. There are records of Gu Changfeng and even Mo Lao.

It was just that the city lord and Mr. Li secretly provided them with identities and protection.

As a confidant who has supported the City Lord all the way, he knows the true identity of Gu Changfeng, that he is the City Lord's junior fellow apprentice.

They are friends, not enemies.

Master Wen put aside his doubts and turned to ponder another important matter mentioned in the letter.

He sighed softly, his tone filled with worry:

"Monster... The imperial court has imposed a 70% spiritual seed resource tax this year. Even a large city like Black Cloud City does not have any extra spiritual seed resources for its warriors. What is the king thinking? Is he trying to force all warriors to rebel?"

"I hope that Young Master Shenlong will succeed to the throne and change the world..."

Psychic birds brought news of the monster to all parts of Zhao State. In the history of the country, he had never seen such an arrogant and open monster.

Open rebellion.

Although the demon devoured enough flesh and blood, and his body was deformed and his strength was not bad, if he was a stranger, he could perform evil magic, but this evil demon was restrained by the blood and spirit soldiers, and his flaws were too big. In the eyes of the spirit soldiers and the soldiers, he was worse than grass. He could survive for so long and his inheritance was still continuous. There must be someone secretly providing protection for him, either a spy from another race or one of his own.

There was a flash of cold light in Master Wen's eyes, and then it subsided.

"General Longfeng, hold the order of my Lord and ask General Meng from the City Lord's Hall to go to Sanjiao, Xinyi, and Daze to recruit 300 combat soldiers each, lead 3,000 auxiliary soldiers from Fangs and Flying Eagles, build a pass, and guard Jiayu Township."

"Yes." Long Feng appeared.

Master Wen thought for a moment and continued, "Send the message to the various spiritual realms. The Lord of Shengfeng Territory was escorted and defeated a hundred demons and killed a warrior. This is a meritorious service. He will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, a military book, a pair of precious jades, and will be promoted to Lord of Xigu Township."

……

Five days later.

The psychic bird Cui Yu returns.

He brought a letter from Lord Wen, and the messenger also brought rewards, but this time there were no spiritual seeds.

Instead, the spiritual realm of Xigu Township of Liu family was conferred upon him.

This suddenly reminded Zhou Qingshan that his territory was only eighteen miles away from Xigu Township. As long as the population was sufficient and the luck was strong, if both sides expanded their territories at the same time, they could be merged into a territory of nearly eighty miles.

However, Zhou Qingshan plans to wait three months for the next batch of sweet potatoes to mature before recruiting farmers.

Master Wen also answered some of Zhou Qingshan’s questions.

the letter said.

The State of Zhao was in chaos, with demons under the banner of the Red Flame Army running rampant everywhere. All major spiritual realms were in riot, and countless guards were rebelling against their superiors, killing their lords. Even several small cities had been breached by the main force of the demons.

Knowing Mo Yanqiu's strength, Lord Wen only made a brief mention of Zhou Qingshan's safety.

Along with him came a human general from Black Cloud City who had a fiefdom. He led 900 combat soldiers, 3,000 auxiliary soldiers from the Dog-fang Flying Eagle Clan, and three masters from the Martial Arts Hall to Jiayu Township to establish a pass.

Its name, Jiayuguan.

Zhou Qingshan felt a little relieved when he saw this.

As for the Bailuli territory, it had been slaughtered twice by demons. In addition, it was too close to the front line of Jiayuguan and might become a war-torn area, so no noble was willing to take it over.

Zhou Qingshan can finally get rid of the days of fear for a while, but the habit has been formed. In addition, the second change of the sky has not occurred in the Cloud Top Chessboard. If it is not necessary, Zhou Qingshan will not enter it. He now stays in the main house to sleep every night. All chores are handled by trusted people. Zhou Hu and Gao Feixue, two warriors, lead 30 guards to maintain the order of the territory. Uncle Zhao leads the steward to handle affairs. There are small families.

Zhou Qingshan still had 900 of his own essence left, which meant he didn't have to worry about resources for the time being. He devoted himself to martial arts training day after day, hoping to reach the realm of an advanced martial artist as soon as possible.

As the expansion of the territory stopped, the gap in the spiritual realm became an urgent problem to be solved. After measurement, the width of the gap was close to 50 meters, which meant that a 50-meter-long wall needed to be built.

The farmers who remained in Nayu, who had followed the Red Flame Demon to attack the territory, were all used as slaves and involved in the construction of the city wall.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it’s already two weeks later.

During these ten days, the expansion work of Zhou's courtyard is in full swing.

The backyard part has been successfully completed by two strong men, Zhou Shiqi and Zhou Qingshan.

The newly opened backyard is surrounded by spiritual veins and has become a treasure land for cultivation. The training ground specially designed for Zhou Qingshan and Mo Yanqiu has become an important place for them to hone their martial arts and improve their strength.

The entire expanded area covers an area of ​​three miles, and its scale has exceeded the total size of the original Zhou family courtyard.

At this time, Zhou Qingshan was practicing martial arts in the woods in the backyard. From a distance, one could hear the sound of his blood rushing like a torrent, which was the echo of strength running through his tendons and bones.

As his practice deepened, Zhou Qingshan gradually entered a state of oblivion. The blood in his body was like a dragon ready to go, and under the guidance of the power of the awakened red gourd, it became more and more turbulent.

Zhou Qingshan took a deep breath and cleared away all the distracting thoughts in his mind. His state of mind became unusually peaceful.

He began to guide the qi and blood to flow rapidly in his body, attacking the bottleneck that had been hindering him for so long.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and the only sound that could be heard in the entire backyard was the sound of blood flowing in Zhou Qingshan's body.

The sound of blood flowing in Zhou Qingshan's body gradually became as loud as thunder, and every heartbeat was accompanied by a powerful wave of power. His skin began to glow with a faint red light, as if it was illuminated by the boiling blood inside.

Finally, after countless attacks, the bottleneck was broken by Zhou Qingshan's unremitting efforts. An unprecedented force gushed out from his body, and his cultivation had a qualitative leap at this moment.

Without the blessing of the gourd's magical power, Zhou Qingshan felt that his five senses became unusually sharp. Everything around him seemed to become clearer, and even the faintest sound of the wind could be heard clearly.

"It's so easy to break through the incoming warrior, and his strength has increased dramatically..."

Zhou Qingshan opened his eyes, and two rays of light shot out from his pupils.

He then tested the seven gourd magical powers he mastered one by one, and each one showed a significant increase in power.

Although the specific improvement of the red gourd compared to other gourds is difficult to quantify, the vision and hearing abilities granted by his orange gourd have been significantly expanded to a range of fifteen miles.

This distance was enough for him to hear the sounds from the spiritual realm gate from the main house.

After completing the test, Zhou Qingshan returned to the main house.

As soon as Mo Yanqiu saw him, she came forward and handed the Dragon Scale Black Armor to her husband. With a hint of expectation and tenderness in her eyes, she said, "My husband, my new blood will be complete tomorrow and I will be able to break through to the warrior level..."

Zhou Qingshan took the dragon scale armor, and he understood what Mo Yanqiu meant.

After becoming a warrior, one ignites the spiritual fire and reaches the second heaven, making a leap in the level of life, and it is basically impossible for one to conceive.

Therefore, Mo Yanqiu hoped that a child would be born for him during his time as a warrior.

Now, he has broken through the realm of strongman and can fully share all the strength of his wife. In addition to the seven gourd magical powers, his real strength is only half inferior to Mo Yanqiu. His pure strength is enough to overwhelm the warriors. His skills have improved by leaps and bounds. His archery skills can hit objects a mile away.

If combined with the dragon scale black armor, it would be enough to protect the safety of Shengfeng Territory.

Before, the two of them had been deliberately avoiding pregnancy because they were worried about the safety of the territory. But now, they had to hurry up.

"it is good."

Zhou Qingshan laughed. He took a step forward and gently and quickly held Mo Yanqiu in his arms.

Mo Yanqiu did not resist. Instead, she put her arms around Zhou Qingshan's neck and rested her head lightly on his shoulder.

Zhou Qingshan held Mo Yanqiu in his arms and walked into the main house.

Immediately afterwards, a crisp "click" was suddenly heard in the house.

It turned out that the big bed in the main room finally couldn't hold up under their weight and collapsed with a loud bang.

Zhou Qingshan hugged Mo Yanqiu tightly, subconsciously lowered his head, and used his body to shield her from the falling wood. He looked around at the mess around him, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
“Am I that heavy now?”

After a while, Zhou Qingshan stood up, carefully put Mo Yanqiu down, and then brushed off the dust on his body.

Mo Yanqiu: "It seems we need to build a sturdy bed."

　Thanks to book friend Xuantai for his support.

　　There have been some problems with my thinking recently. I have strayed too much from the topic and have not written many details. The author needs to think carefully about the ideas after Sheng Fengling.
