After Guan Luoyang beheaded Shi Wengong, he took back the Wuwei Divine Sword, searched the surroundings, and reached the military camp halfway up the mountain in a moment.

According to Gongsun Sheng, there were originally 800 elite soldiers here, and Guan Luoyang just killed less than a third of them, but there was no one in the military camp.

He listened carefully, and there were sounds of fleeing in all directions among the mountains. Not only the soldiers, but also the majestic overseers seemed to know that something was wrong. Some of them were lucky enough to find some nearby mines to hide.

Some have already fled far away.

Among them was a group of people with the most chaotic sounds, heavy steps, and the largest number of people.

On a mountainous area covered with tree stumps, Mr. Zeng was being held up by two Zeng family members. With his feet in the air, he fled out of the mountain faster than a galloping horse.

The people gathered around him included children of the Zeng family as well as soldiers in the army. Most of them recognized him as an old man and felt that following the old man to escape safely and find a new career was more likely.

These people all have some martial arts skills in their bodies. Even the powerful slaves of the Zeng family have actually practiced magic techniques. They can walk on tree stumps, run and jump as if they are walking on flat ground.

Seeing that he was about to escape from the Nineteenth Peak of Cangshan Mountain and head towards Yizhou City, Mr. Zeng's panicked face suddenly became alarmed.

"not good!"

His scalp was numb and he was frightened. He suddenly thought, "What a disaster! Originally, although the madman killed Shi Wengong, he didn't know whether it was for revenge or for what reason. Everyone fled, and he probably couldn't kill them all.

.”

"But with so many people gathered around me and running so fast, wouldn't it be that I was the one who stood out and attracted the attention of the murderer..."

Thinking of this, Mr. Zeng shouted at the top of his lungs, "Get out of here, get out of here! Get out now. We will go to Zengjiazhuang at noon tomorrow. Each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. If you don't leave now, you won't get a penny."

"

A voice came from the air.

"Oh? You are so generous, old man. I wonder if I can get a few taels of silver."

Guan Luoyang came down with his sword and stopped in front of everyone.

There was no need for Mr. Zeng to speak now. The people gathered around him all dispersed with a roar.

Mr. Zeng's face turned blue and he forced a smile and said: "This strong... Your Majesty... this Taoist Priest, I am a pure and kind man, but I have always admired those capable masters. If Taoist Priest...

When you are a guest at home, you are willing to offer all your family property to show your sincerity."

Guan Luoyang looked him over and over, suddenly smiled, and said: "I heard that Shi Wengong was able to manage the mine here in an orderly manner, not only because he had elite soldiers, but also because there was a family named Zeng who was very wealthy.

Recruited many brave men from the countryside to serve as supervisors for the officers and soldiers?"

Mr. Zeng struggled twice, landed on his feet, cupped his hands and said, "To be honest with you, Taoist Master, in fact, the little old man's family has been suffering from Shi Wen Gong for a long time."

"All the young men employed by the family were brought in by him to do some hard work in the mines, and no one cultivated the fields. The family property accumulated from doing business in the early years has suffered a lot of losses in recent years. Every family in the Zeng family has a wife, young and old,

I miss my husband and son, but I dare not speak out in anger towards Shi Wengong, and secretly shed tears in the middle of the night."

Guan Luoyang snorted: "So you should thank me?"

Old Mrs. Zeng suddenly knelt down and prostrated himself on the ground, saying: "I have no repayment for my great kindness. As long as it is useful to the whole Zeng family, I will never refuse."

Guan Luoyang nodded: "The old man is so sincere, it's really hard for me not to go. In this case, you old man, go to the mine with me, gather all the people in the mine, and I will take you home."

"

After saying that, he turned around and left. Old Mrs. Zeng was so frightened that he climbed up twice but could not get up. The two young men next to him helped him up and put them on their shoulders.

Mr. Zeng was quite moved and whispered: "You two never abandoned me. What are your names? I will promote you to the position of general manager when I return."

The two young men both had grimaces on their faces. The one on the right forced out a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "Thank you, old man."

The one on the left said with a cry in his voice: "I wanted to run away, but after that person looked at me, I really didn't dare."

A tall and thick man choked up as he spoke, and his body was shaking from crying, but his hand holding Old Mrs. Zeng was still very strong.

Old Mrs. Zeng rolled his eyes in anger and was dragged tightly by the two men, following Guan Luoyang's back.

Gongsun Sheng hurried over and first saw Shi Wengong's body on the cliff over there. He was amazed and inexplicable. Then he scanned the surrounding area and found traces of Guan Luoyang.

"Brother Dao, are you okay?"

"No problem." Guan Luoyang smiled and said, "You have been a Taoist official in the imperial court before, so you must be well-informed. How does Shi Wengong's martial arts compare with those of the generals of the current dynasty?"

Gongsun Sheng followed him, glanced at Mr. Zeng behind him, and said: "Shi Wengong's Jiu Di Pi Yi Jing cultivation is exquisite and extraordinary. In terms of the depth of his skills, he can steadily overpower the generals in the court.

I'm afraid there are only five or six people like Yun Tianbiao, Guan Sheng and so on."

"But in the past, the poor Taoist only heard about his reputation. Today, when I saw him fighting with his Taoist brother, and in the slightest danger of life and death, he would not hesitate to arouse the deep turbidity of the devil's path and go crazy to survive. The cultivation of his character is really not enough. If we really meet on the battlefield, I will meet him on the battlefield.

There are probably nearly twenty generals who can kill him."

Guan Luoyang had an idea in his mind and asked again: "What about the Taoist officials? How many Taoist officials are stronger than him?"

Gongsun Sheng hesitated for a moment and said: "Pindao once accompanied the army to conquer Xixia, and he still knows a little about the generals. However, most of those Taoist officials accompanied the emperor in Bianliang. It is difficult to tell the level of their cultivation. Only Chen Xizhen, Liu Yongxi, Liu

Hun Kang and Wang Laozhi are definitely far superior to Shi Wengong."

At this point, a look of hatred flashed across Gongsun Sheng's face, "My master is a scholar of heaven and has already mastered the indestructible golden elixir. He can be called an immortal on earth. His cultivation level is not inferior to that of Mr. Yuan Miao when he was in his prime. But back then, he was

He was entangled by Liu Yongxi, Wang Laozhi and their men, fought hard for a long time, and then was surrounded and killed by the army. Only then did he die of mental exhaustion."

The cultivation of immortality in this world is mainly divided into three major levels. The first is to practice the nine orifices, and the second is to gather mineral energy, purify it painstakingly, and accumulate it into jade liquid. When the jade liquid turns nine, you can enter the third major level.

Indestructible golden elixir.

It is said that the golden elixir also has nine turns. For each additional turn, there will be an additional Taoist text on the golden elixir. After nine turns, one can become an immortal.

It's just that the path to immortality is elusive, and no one can tell whether anyone in this world has truly become an immortal in the past few thousand years.

Those who can practice the golden elixir are already the pinnacle figures in the immortal way. Their solid foundation is far beyond what ordinary Taoist priests and magicians can match. Even on a battlefield where millions of people are fighting, they can ignore the influence of turbid energy and easily perform it.

Use all kinds of magical powers to shake up the battle situation.

As for Lin Lingsu, he was too desperate to take the initiative to get involved in the center of the dynasty's destiny. He also created an unprecedented system of Taoist officials outside the dynasty's official system, which had a profound influence and spread throughout the world.

Only then would he suffer such severe backlash.

While he was talking, Guan Luoyang had already arrived at the mine and ordered Mr. Zeng to come forward and call out all the Zeng children who were hiding.

After passing through several mines, the number of people was counted and all the soldiers fled. About 40% of the Zeng family members also fled.

On the contrary, the miners were exhausted and slow to react. They had not yet figured out what was going on. They just stayed where they were, squatting on the ground at most, trying to take the opportunity to rest for a while, but no one had time to escape.

Guan Luoyang asked the Zeng family to take all the miners to Zengjiazhuang.

Mr. Zeng quickly asked: "What are you doing?"

Guan Luoyang turned his head in confusion, put his hand on Mr. Zeng's shoulder, and said: "Isn't it an old man? Are you saying that those young and old wives are looking forward to their husbands and sons? Of course, you should take them back with you to eat, drink and have a rest."

.”

"But……"

When Old Master Zeng saw Guan Luoyang's thoughtful look, he immediately did not dare to say any more. He nodded repeatedly, with tears in his eyes for joy, "What the Taoist Master said is that these people have not been home for a long time. The Zeng family members all listened,

You must not neglect these fellow villagers in the slightest on the road."

He shouted loudly, personally kicked away several young men of the Zeng family, took away the wooden sticks and whips from their hands, and scolded them to be gentle and kind.

Many miners dropped their mining tools in confusion and followed them out.

Guan Luoyang first took them to the military camp, scavenged the food in the camp, and cooked everything that could be cooked. The dry food, fruits and vegetables were also properly distributed and distributed to each miner for them to carry.

When everyone left the Cangshan Mine, the strong men of the Zeng family were all pushing the carts originally used to transport minerals. The carts were crowded with the miners who were not very able to walk.

The cart was made wide and strong. When the miners used to push it, it would take four or five people to help it move. However, these strong men of the Zeng family are all proficient in practicing magic. Even if ten people sit on the cart,

With a few people, it was only a little difficult to push it.

Lin Lingsu and Dai Zong have also joined the team.

Gongsun Sheng's fly whisk formed into a cloud-like white futon, floating in mid-air, allowing Lin Lingsu and the mercury, who had difficulty moving, to rest firmly on it.

While Lin Lingsu opened the bamboo tube and poured jars of mercury into his mouth, he said vaguely: "It's true that magic has been revived. Like these wealthy dog ​​slaves who are just colluding with the local government, everyone can practice magic."

Kung Fu. Huh, I don’t know how much of the output from the Cangshan Mine fell directly into these people.”

Gongsun Sheng said from the side: "Senior, these common people have been working in the mines all year round. They are more or less corroded by the miscellaneous gases in the mine veins and have become seriously ill. I see that Brother Dao is willing to cure them. I wonder if there is any way, senior?"

Lin Lingsu said: "Isn't the solution very simple? Let them also practice demonic skills. Just let them maintain the level of just getting started, so there will be no risk of going crazy and annihilating humanity."

Gongsun Sheng shook his head and said: "Although the magic skills of the devil are not as literal as the immortal skills, they still need to be shown the movements day after day and take them to practice together. These people will eventually be released to the countryside.

Where do you have the time to study?"

Lin Lingsu chuckled twice and said: "If Guan Luoyang really thinks so, then I should persuade him to send all those people back to the mine now."

He looked at Gongsun Sheng and said sarcastically, "Release them to the countryside? With their current appearance, they can barely make ends meet in the mines. If they were to return them to the countryside, it would be too late to cultivate the fields and there would be no other way to make a living. I'm afraid

It's more miserable to die than in the mines."

Gongsun Sheng was awakened by his words, rolled his eyes and remained silent.

After these young and middle-aged people from the surrounding countryside were dragged to work as miners, their own fields either fell into waste because they were left with only their wives, children, and children, unable to cultivate them, or they were annexed by the wealthy families and sent slaves to take care of them.

Now that the spring plowing season has passed, if we let them go back at this time, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive the next round of grain harvest, and the best they can do is become beggars.

But after Guan Luoyang left and the mine reopened, even a beggar would be dragged to the mine again as long as he didn't lack any limbs.

Gongsun Sheng thought that his magic skills were not weak anymore. Brother Guan Dao and Mr. Yuan Miao were even more capable, but there seemed to be no way to properly and permanently solve this kind of problem.
To be continued...
