Chapter 229: The Immortal
From Tiangang City to Xuanzang Academy, Yang Qi and Lu Yuan helped to 'open the light' in the spirit pagoda along the way, otherwise even if Ding Yi activated the jade talisman in the school's spirit tower, he would still not be able to contact Tiangang City. This so-called scientific research institute Xiuzhen technology needs to be separated by hundreds of kilometers all the way to relay the 'light', which is actually not very advanced.
Is there a higher means of communication in the Empire? Of course, there are, but this so-called higher is actually the most primitive means. That is achieved through a special kind of cultivator, who is called a 'Psychic One'.
This kind of monk is useless, no different from mortals, and its only role is to act as a messenger to achieve ultra-long-distance communication.
Some researchers say that these 'underworld people' should be the longest-lived people, but in fact, most of these people died young, and their lifespan is generally less than that of mortals. They are the saddest cultivators in this world. They burn their lives, they overdraw their lives, they spend their whole lives in captivity, they have no freedom, they don't live as well as mortals. A cultivator with such qualifications, once discovered, is destined to be a tragedy. They are just a caged bird, unable to change their tragic fate
There is such a person around Zong Xiao.
There are 100,000 mountains in the southwest, and many mountains have natural phenomena that cannot be explained by modern civilization. 'Qianli Transmission' and 'Wanli Fu' will fail here, and carrier pigeons and eagle harriers will fly around and can't find their way. And this is a wild place where poisonous miasma is everywhere and monsters are rampant. It's even harder to connect with the outside world.
As the commander-in-chief of the empire in charge of the rebellion, Zong Xiao is under great pressure. The empire poured all its strength into the country and recruited hundreds of thousands of monks to encircle and suppress the dregs of the empire, such as the Mang Ancient Sect, the Truth Society, and the Witch Cult. After finishing his work, he wanted to completely erase the enemies of the empire, such as the Manggu Sect and the Truth Society, from this world. It's incredibly difficult.
The 100,000 mountains in the southwest, the vast land, and the complex and harsh ecological environment can all be overcome. But the endless raids, assassinations, and ambushes are like shadows that cannot be escaped.
Ever since setting foot on this piece of land in the southwest, these harassments have never stopped. Poisoning, spreading plague, and releasing Gu worms...... All kinds of evil methods have never stopped.
What's even more terrifying is the terrorist hiding in the crowd, you can't tell whether he's a civilian or a dangerous one. One moment, he may still be a harmless aborigine, and the next moment he can transform into a terrifying demon king and launch a frenzied surprise attack.
Men and women, young and old, may be members of the Manggu Sect and the Truth Society. In fact, according to insider information, these extremist sects have sent at least 10,000 such dangerous elements to mingle with the crowd. Some of them are cultivators, some are created mutants, and some are the most ordinary aborigines. Maybe it's a fanatical religious believer, maybe it's a poor person who coerces and seduces, and he can't explain it clearly, he can't understand it. Wandering through the crowd, who knows who they really are if they don't move?
Zong Xiao made several plans.
With the division strategy of razing and razing, he used the great clans who originally lived in the southwest and had their hearts to the empire as the vanguard of the rebellion, and took advantage of their local people to be familiar with the local mountains and rivers to carry out the first blow to the evil sects such as the Manggu Sect, the Truth Society, and the Wiccan Sect.
The aborigines should be held in a chain to supervise each other and ensure the safety and stability of each place to the greatest extent.
Adopt the method of advancing layer by layer, and set up layers of obstacles along the long provinces and counties to cut off traffic. Dragnet moves in tandem to compress the space for these rebels to operate.
It has adopted the establishment of special operations units, and sent special operations squads one after another to enemy-occupied areas to carry out special operations and carry out precise strikes against the places where the rebels may appear, such as the Manggu Sect, the Truth Society, and the Wicca Cult.
Treat the different sects differently and divide the rebels. Countless leaflets were dropped, psychological warfare was carried out.
Tens of thousands of spirit rune camera arrays were put into place, and the empire's most elite scientific research institute 'Thor Group' was mobilized, using the empire's latest cultivation technology to carry out unprecedented technological warfare against these rebels.
......
I have thought of all the methods I can think of, and I have used all the means that I can use. It didn't work out very well, though. Of the thirteen provinces in the southwest, the four provinces that have been regained are still not completely guaranteed to be free of those rebels
casualties have also remained high.
The opponent is very experienced in fighting sports warfare, attrition warfare, and guerrilla warfare. Mysterious harassment, sabotage, and assassination cannot be prevented. In fact, since the beginning of the war, there has been no major victory against those rebels, and only a few small fish and shrimp have been killed and caught.
The chaos has become a long process, and Zong Xiao has thought of countless ways, but there is still little progress at present.
Little Pattern came over, she was a girl of twelve or thirteen, she had delicate facial features and fair skin. She was supposed to be a treasure held in the palm of her parents' hands, but she was a 'psyche', and her fate was like the pale lips of this child. She was destined to be a 'sacrifice' to be consumed by the Empire.
She pulled Zong Xiao's clothes, and Zong Xiao turned around to look at this girl who made people feel pity.
"Xiaowen, have you finished your homework, don't run around, go back to your house......" Zong Xiao said softly.
Xiao Wen looked at Zong Xiao with wide eyes and said: "Zong Xiao, since the suppression of the rebellion, the organization of the rebel army has been scattered, lax, and sluggish, and the army has not been effective in attacking and fighting. Since hundreds of thousands of monks were stationed in the southwest, they have spent countless national funds and resources, but they have not heard of a decent record. On the contrary, there were casualties in the army from time to time, which was a strange thing that had never been heard of since the founding of the empire! The council has instructed you to break the deadlock as soon as possible, to exterminate the remnants of the bandits, and to make a new improvement within two months, and to make a major gain within the year, otherwise you will be punished for the crime of delaying the plane and being lazy. ”
Zong Xiao was shocked, it turned out that this was an admonition sent by the speaker of the parliament.
For a long time, several major departments headed by the military department and the parliament did not get along very well. The parliament is in charge of the budget, the right to approve, report, supervise, and review, and has always been dissatisfied with several major ministries. Unexpectedly, this time, the parliament bypassed the military headquarters and gave orders directly to him, which is simply unheard of.
The speaker of the parliament is pointing fingers behind his back, what is this?
If the council feels that it is not competent, it can remove itself and arrange for someone trusted by the council to lead the army.
Empty talk is misleading the country, and these guys who are in the House of Representatives, playing tricks all day long, and arguing endlessly, can only talk on paper, and how many of them are people who really do practical things? How many of them have practical experience? Don't think that just because you have played a few games of 'Contra', you really think that you are a military strategist! In reality, there are not as many things to consider as a game, and this is chaos, which is different from ordinary warfare. What else can these guys do but pull their hind legs and talk big?
Zong Xiao's face was full of green anger, but he quickly suppressed this resentment again.
"Speaker, the situation in the southwest is treacherous, the traitorous people of the ancient religion and the Truth Society are originally the natives of the southwest, the geographical environment here is complicated, and there are many civilians and villagers, and most of them are deceived and bewitched by them, and the poison of the cult cannot be eliminated in a short time, and the evil bandits hide in the mountains and forests, taking advantage of the geographical advantages, and opening up the allocation to our army, and there are many disadvantages in the war, and the township party and the evil bandits here also have many contacts, and the screening and verification work is arduous, and it cannot be ......done overnight."
"Don't talk about these things and don't have them, this is a national matter, not a bargain in the vegetable market, you only have two months, remember, two months, the parliament has to see the results. Xiao Wen said sharply.
"Speaker......" Zong Xiao has yet to explain. The little lines have fallen down softly.
"Watson, Watson, Xiaowen fainted, hurry up. Zong Xiao shouted outside the house. Watson, his medical expert, hurriedly rushed in from outside the house, picked up the little girl and began to treat her.
Jonghyo sighed and walked out of his room. This is the residence of a large family in Thang Long Village, and it is the forward headquarters for fighting rebellion and counterinsurgency. Looking at the mountains and mountains, the world is full of generalities, and Zong Xiao feels tired.
Ding Yi was also very tired, physically tired, and mentally tired, which made him extremely sleepy. I just want to lie down early after eating.
took Jiang Yuhan to the canteen in Yushan, Ding Yi, as a team member of the Qinglian Championship, of course he would not return to the Zanggu Cave to eat 'small grass'. There are stir-fried vegetables here in Yushan, and there is no need for me to pretend to be that high.
It's only three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and Fang Ying and the others haven't come over yet. On the side of the cafeteria, there are only two senior brothers who are still earning credits. Ding Yi is the one they all know, and Jiang Yuhan is the first time they have met.
Because of Jiang Yuhan's poisonous spirit qualifications, in fact, she is the senior sister of Fengyi Palace every day,
Bring food back to eat.
Seeing Ding Yi come over with a veiled little girl, both of them were a little strange. Ding Yi, this little guy, is a legend of the Xuanzang Academy, this little guy, there are always some strange things that happen, first he was favored by the old-timers who retired from the former Xuanzang Academy, and established the Xuanji Society for him. Later, he went outside and came back and became a spirit-level mid-level puppeteer. The most amazing thing is that he has now become the main general of the Xuanzang Academy of the Qinglian Tournament, and even the 'Wooden Dragon' Long Yan has been defeated by him. It was not surprising to turn a little girl over this time.
"Little Ding Yi, I heard that you were carried here in the morning, didn't you?" asked the big fat brother with a smile and a joke.
"I heard that the noon meal was fed by the little junior sister of Fengyi Palace, Senior Brother Ding, you are really blessed!" said the thin senior brother.
What could Ding Yi say, he could only bow his head shyly.
"This junior sister is very clumsy, why do you travel with your face covered?" asked the thin brother casually.
"This is Senior Sister Jiang Yuhan of Fengyi Palace, I'll bring her over for a bite to eat......"
Before Ding Yi finished speaking, Senior Brother Fat and Senior Brother Thin changed color on their faces, hurriedly took a few steps back, and shouted loudly: "Hurry out, hurry out, Senior Brother Ding, you can stay, this ugly monster hurry out." ”
Ding Yi was stunned, this is good, how could these two senior brothers say such radical words.
Jiang Yuhan knew what was going on, but she was still very sad in her heart, her eyes were full of tears, and she turned around to leave.
Ding Yi also reacted at this time, and he didn't want to blame the two senior brothers for this incident, after all, they were the blame, and he whispered to Jiang Yuhan: "Senior sister is waiting for me outside for the time being, and I will come out soon." ”
After Jiang Yuhan left the cafeteria, Senior Brother Slender couldn't help but blame Ding Yi and said: "Senior Brother Ding, this girl is a poisonous spirit, you don't want to die, it's too late for others to hide from her, you are still with her, don't look at her good figure, talk like a silver bell, this girl is actually an ugly ......"
Senior Brother Fat Man said: "A cultivator with poison spirit qualifications has its own toxins all over his body, and he unconsciously absorbs toxins from the outside world, and at the same time alienates the surrounding environment. Staying by her side, it is inevitable that you will be affected by her and be poisoned to a certain extent. After a long time, even a small life is not guaranteed. This is not a joke with you, we work in the cafeteria, this food safety matter is no child's play, if there is any accident here, the two of us can not afford it. ”
Ding Yi frowned and said: "Senior Sister Jiang, she is a member of my Xuanji Society, she is the most kind, but because of her own qualifications, she is a little defeated, and she is not to blame, no one has the ability to choose her own qualifications, she was originally a beautiful and dignified girl, with such a face, she is already very sad, and it is a harm to Senior Sister Jiang when the senior brothers say such things......
Ding Yi also knew that these two senior brothers had no bad intentions, and said: "Senior brother's care for his junior brother, junior brother has a sense of guilt, but he is a little too unkind to Senior Sister Jiang. Please give me three large meat buns and a few crispy dried fish. ”
Senior Brother Fat said: "Senior brother is also a kind person, we won't say anything superfluous, you stay for a while." ”
After that, he and the thin brother entered the kitchen together, and after a while, they wrapped three large meat buns in a piece of oiled paper, and took a perilla leaf and wrapped a few dried fish and handed them to Ding Yi.
After Ding Yi thanked him, he left the cafeteria.
Jiang Yuhan stood alone at the intersection, and it seemed that he had cried again. Ding Yi walked over and handed out the oiled paper bag.
"Senior sister, don't be sad, you should hurry up and improve your cultivation level now, and become a spiritual-level cultivator as soon as possible, so that you can be free to put it away, and the senior brothers won't talk nonsense anymore. Hurry up and eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold. ”
"Senior brother, what if I can't become a spiritual-level cultivator in my life?" Jiang Yuhan didn't move, and said quietly. In fact, there are indeed many cultivators who only stay at the feather level throughout their lives, and cannot be promoted.
Ding Yileng paused for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then you can only follow me." No matter what, I have to train you to become a spirit-level puppeteer. ”
Jiang Yuhan burst into tears and said with a smile: "Senior brother's words count, you can't go back." A handful took the oiled paper bag.
Ding Yi himself also has the qualification of a poisonous spirit, and he is not afraid of Jiang Yuhan, so he took a meat bag from Jiang Yuhan's hand and chewed it.
