When it comes to Liaodong, we have to mention the Golden Horde bordering Liaodong. When it comes to Liangzhou, we have to mention the Western Regions. When it comes to Yuezhou, we have to mention the Posa Prefecture at the end of the South China Sea. When it comes to Qizhou, it is necessary to mention the Golden Scale Prefecture across the East China Sea from Qizhou. When it comes to Shuzhou, we have to mention the southern Xinjiang bordering Shuzhou and the barbarians in southern Xinjiang.

In terms of threat, the barbarians of southern Xinjiang are far inferior to the Golden Horde of the grassland, when the Central Plains Dynasty is strong, they are obedient, and when the Central Plains Dynasty is weak, they rebel. After all, southern Xinjiang is not a grassland that plagues white disasters every year, and it is not yet to the point of life and death.

Now the Great Wei court is in decline, and the barbarians in southern Xinjiang have rebelled more than once, as early as the first year of Tianbao, Zhang Suqing said in his recital: "In the first month, the Golden Horde cavalry committed Liaodong. In February, millions of soldiers and civilians in Qinzhou ran out of food. In March, there was a famine in Liangzhou. In April, there was another famine in Yanzhou. In May, there was another famine in Shuzhou. In June, there was civil unrest in Yuzhou Tusi. In July, the Qinzhou exiles rebelled and attacked Shuzhou, and the southern Xinjiang barbarian rebellion invaded the border of Chongqing. In leap July, the Changhe River in Qizhou burst its embankment, the dead and wounded were not counted, and the displaced people were everywhere. ”

Zhang Suqing only mentioned the rebellion in southern Xinjiang and many other major events in the song, if you just talk about this matter, the fact is that the barbarian soldiers in southern Xinjiang sent seven prefectures in the south and central China, and approached the Yuzhou mansion, although the Shuzhou official army barely quelled the rebellion in southern Xinjiang, but also suffered a great loss of vitality, and when the northwest Great Zhou attacked Shuzhou, the Shuzhou government had no soldiers to fight, and there was almost no power to fight back, so easily conquered by the Great Zhou.

If you look at it from the perspective of the rivers and lakes, there are also great articles here in southern Xinjiang. At that time, the witch religion flourished here, and later after the ancestor Tianshi brought a sword to destroy the witch religion, the remnants of the witch religion retreated into the mountains of southern Xinjiang. Zu Tianshi founded the Zhengyi Tianshi Sect in Shuzhou, separating one side, echoing the Taiping Road in the north. Later, the Central Plains Witch Sect was finally annihilated, and the once-prosperous Heavenly Master Sect returned to the orthodoxy of the imperial court and was renamed Zhengyizong. The Taiping Dao was destroyed, and the remnants of the remnants evolved into the Qingwei Sect and the Taiping Sect in the future.

But then again, back then, the ancestor Tianshi only swept Shuzhou, and he was helpless against southern Xinjiang. In fact, it was not only the ancestral heavenly master back then, but also the Confucian sect known as the orthodoxy of the world, who only left a few footprints in southern Xinjiang with difficulty, and left in a hurry. In the eyes of the vast majority of people in the Central Plains, this is a miasma, not indoctrinated wild land, although Wuhou once crossed Lu in May, went deep into the barbarian and captured the barbarian king seven times, but after Wuhou, all dynasties, this place is still regarded as a daunting path by officials, and the emperor derogatory and criminal officials, which is nothing more than the bitter cold land of Liaodong, or the place where southern Xinjiang and Lingnan are full of miasma.

If the vast grassland is the natural barrier of the Golden Horde, then countless mountains are the natural barrier of southern Xinjiang, one mountain after another, one mountain after another, endlessly, among which the forest is towering, the road is few and sparsely populated, and it is full of miasma, it is difficult for the army to be stationed, it has always been the natural barrier of the barbarians, every time the Central Plains Dynasty conquers the barbarians, as long as the barbarians retreat into it, the Chinese army will be helpless, this move is similar to the Golden Horde retreating into the depths of the grassland.

The reason why Wuhou was able to pacify southern Xinjiang back then was that in addition to the elite soldiers and good fighting, Wuhou's ability was also very important. There are countless scattered villages in southern Xinjiang

In addition to attracting some of the familiar barbarians as guides, Wuhou also specially prepared medicines to deal with miasma, set up a cauldron in the military camp to boil the medicine according to the prescription, and then distributed the medicine to the soldiers in the army to drink, once a day in the morning and evening, day after day, so that the miasma can be regarded as nothing.

But even so, Wuhou had to defeat the barbarian king seven times before he could completely subdue the barbarians. Because the miasma is only one of the natural barriers of the barbarians, what restricts the movement of the army is the complex terrain, in such rugged mountains, not only the cavalry can not act, even the heavy infantry is also difficult to do, but the barbarians in southern Xinjiang have a kind of rattan armor soldiers dressed in rattan armor, climbing mountains and mountains like walking on flat ground, agile as apes, like fish in water in the mountains. Moreover, after the barbarians of southern Xinjiang retreated into the mountains, they were completely divided into pieces, and scattered everywhere with the stockade as a unit, so that the army could not form a decisive battle with it, and for this reason, even if the army of the Central Plains invaded southern Xinjiang and destroyed countless villages, it still could not really hurt its fundamental vitality, and finally had to withdraw from southern Xinjiang under the situation that the support of grain and grass was unsustainable.

In the hinterland of southern Xinjiang, a group of people is resting in a dense forest. At the foot of the foot, there is a rugged path that barely allows one person to walk, leading to a stockade hidden deep in the mountains. This group of people is dressed in Central Plains costumes, obviously not barbarians, although they have traveled a long way, but their spirit is still good, showing extremely good cultivation. The person at the head is a tall man, his appearance is very similar to Tang Qin who died under Qin Su's knife, but his demeanor is more resolute, and his posture is calm and majestic.

The people around him were all wearing cyan cloaks and hoods on their cloaks, and their faces could not be seen clearly, but each of them had a round of green sun embroidered on their cloaks. Among the three main altars of the Qingyang Sect, the people of the Qingyang General Altar wear cyan cloaks, the people of the White Yang General Altar wear white cloaks, and the people of the Red Yang General Altar wear white cloaks, so these people are undoubtedly the people of the Qingyang General Altar. Then the identity of the person at the head is self-evident, it is Tang Zhou, the general of Tiangong. No one thought that Tang Zhou, who was supposed to be in the White Emperor City, would secretly leave the White Emperor City and go to the depths of Southern Xinjiang.

Tang Zhou motioned to his subordinates to continue to recover their qi, and he jumped onto a five-zhang tall tree and looked at it from afar.

With his eyesight, he can vaguely see that thirty miles away, there is a beautiful scenery of the village, different from the Central Plains to resist the thieves and build a fortress, the village here is composed of a number of stilted buildings, outside the village is relying on the mountain to build layers of terraces, verdant green, in the sun flashing a refreshing light.

This is the largest stockade within a radius of 100 miles, with about more than 10,000 people, and it rarely participates in various wars and conflicts between southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains, so it can be regarded as indisputable.

That was Tang Zhou's destination.

At the time of the Xijing Change, the Holy Monarch and the Earth Master broke up, and in order to win over Tang Zhou, the two sides each sent two copies of sincerity.

A dying demon sent by the earth master, Tang Zhou killed the monster, took out the demon pill, and after taking it, not only did his cultivation increase greatly, but also had all kinds of miracles.

What the Holy Monarch sent out was "Qilin Blood".

There are in the world

Immortals, naturally, there are all kinds of mythical beasts and beasts. Although the mythical beasts and beasts have completely disappeared now, they still leave many "relics", such as the "Emperor Ying", which ranks third in the sword rating, is made of the backbone of a dragon. "Jiaolong blood" can wash the meridians and cut the marrow, even if the meridians are blocked and the dantian is destroyed, they can become Tianzhong wizards. Taking "Phoenix Blood" can obtain an immortal body, similar to the "Leaky Passage" of Buddhism or the "Liuhe Eight Desolation Immortal Body" of the Daoist Sect, which has the wonder of flesh and blood rebirth. Taking "White Tiger Blood" can greatly increase strength, vigorous blood and energy, and break through the limitations of the human body.

The so-called 'Qilin Blood' is the blood of the legendary Rui Beast Qilin, which is extremely strong and yang, and cannot be taken by non-Heavenly and Human Realm grandmasters, even if it is a master of the True Realm, if he drinks this blood rashly, he will be burned by the majestic fire contained in it. The Great Grandmaster of the Heavenly and Human Realms can increase his realm cultivation by taking the "Qilin Blood". If the cultivation is improved through the elixir, the higher the realm, the worse the effect of the pill will be, but the "Qilin Blood" has no concerns about this, as long as it does not reach the longevity realm, it is effective.

Back then, Sect Master Song took all the "phoenix blood" before fighting the sword in Yuxu, so that he could escape from Li Daoxu's sword. After returning from Yuxu Peak, he took away all the "dragon blood" before he disappeared, and this is why he has made a comeback today.

After Tang Zhou took the Demon Pill and the "Qilin Blood" successively, there was only a thin line left between him and the Heavenly Transformation Realm, and the reason why he couldn't break through for a long time was because his cultivation had gone a little wrong.

It can be said that success is also "unicorn blood", and defeat is also "unicorn blood".

Taking the blood of the divine beast has great side effects, and it is extremely dangerous when taking it, and the slightest carelessness can be life-threatening, which is one of them. The second is that after taking it, the human body will manifest various animal characteristics, or madness, or murder, or lust for life, or temperament drastically, in the long run, such foreign objects are not conducive to realm cultivation.

Suddenly, a look of pain flashed on Tang Zhou's face, and there was blood in his eyes.

Tang Zhou took off his gauntlet, and layers of scales appeared on the back of his hand, which was the hidden danger caused by his taking the demon pill and "Qilin blood". This is also the reason why there are clearly the blood of the four saints in the Wudao Sect, but few people take it. The Hundred Barbarian King once took the "White Tiger Blood", and although he practiced the "Hundred Beast True Scripture" with it, the whole person also became bloodthirsty and easy to kill. Even Song Zheng was born after death, Song Zheng was first offset by Li Daoxu's sword qi entering the body, and then avoided the "dragon blood" by dividing the soul and rebirth. But even so, Song Zheng almost couldn't enter the immortal realm, and almost became the golden horde's unsweet khan forever.

Of course, Tang Zhou did not have the means of Song Zheng, so during this time, he suffered a lot. If it's just a change in physique, the key is that the beast nature in the demon pill and the "Qilin Blood" is eroding his reason all the time, and he has a hunch that if he rushes to the Heavenly Artificial Transformation Realm, he is likely to become a maniac who looks like a beast.

Tang Zhou blamed the current situation on the earth master and the holy monarch, so when Song Zheng came to see him, he did not hesitate and returned to the old master, and Song Zheng also pointed out a clear way for him, and the solution to the hidden danger was in this village.
