Qin Xu certainly had no idea at this moment what the disaster he had left behind had become.
Huang Yunling's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds since her enlightenment. In just a few years, she has already formed a golden elixir.
And his view on things is very thorough.
The Ninth Prince sometimes asked her for advice.
As for the title of the Virgin Mary, the reincarnation of Maitreya, it was naturally something she had carefully considered and did not completely follow the doctrines and structure left by Chen Shiyan.
Because she has a Taoist partner who is competing for the throne.
One of them may very well be the crown prince in the future, and may very likely be the son of the Holy Emperor.
So she wants to build momentum for them.
It can also be considered a fallback.
The Ninth Prince knew something and acquiesced.
But he didn't know that this Taoist companion had great ambitions. She wanted to use the White Lotus Sect to help the Ninth Prince ascend to the throne.
Then she pushed for her son to inherit the throne.
At that time, her son, who had been personally educated by her, would definitely regard the White Lotus Sect as the state religion.
She could then establish a Buddhist kingdom on earth here to help her enter the true vacuum hometown mentioned in the jade slip.
Truly get in touch with the source of the material world.
This matter is Cheng Qian's fault. Time was tight at the time, so he haphazardly crammed in some Buddhist, Taoist and even materialistic settings without sorting them out properly.
This has led to the current situation where if you look closely at each paragraph, they are all correct, but when put together, they don't resemble a single entity.
Huang Yunling also kept sighing that it was indeed the true method.
......
Tianhua County, the county seat.
Everything changed overnight.
If the people coming were not soldiers from the imperial dynasty, many monks would have thought that they were being attacked by soldiers from other dynasties.
Among the five hundred cultivators, most of them are at the peak of foundation building, and a small number are at the golden elixir level.
In this small county town, they are truly unstoppable.
There was almost no resistance.
All members of the Guo, Lin, and Hu families were detained.
The family property was confiscated.
In less than five days, everything that could be taken away by these three big families was packed up, and the family monks were taken onto the flying boat of the bandit-suppression army.
He came and went like the wind and left Tianhua County.
In the vast blue lake, the bandit-suppression army found empty strongholds according to the points marked by Qin Xu.
Then they divided their forces and detained the people of the three families on three islands and kept them under strict surveillance.
In the Bibo Mansion camp, Qin Xu was welcoming Shen Yuchang and Nangong Yu who had just arrived.
They came with two battalions.
While chatting, the personal guard Xia Cheng came over.
"Sir, everything has been done. The three families are in collusion with the bandits. The evidence is irrefutable. The criminal has confessed to the crime."
"We also found several pirate bases under their guidance."
Shen Yuchang and Nangong Yu also heard what Xia Cheng said.
Both of them looked a little unhappy.
What do you mean?
We arrived a few days late. Have you finished suppressing the bandits?
Then why are we here? Don’t you want to give us credit?
Especially Nangong Yu, who has been in the army for many years and is well versed in military affairs.
I want to persuade Lord Qin later.
You don't understand military affairs.
Is this how you suppress bandits?
How will the local officials who asked the Ninth Prince and the dynasty for help deal with your efficiency?
How will those generals who have suppressed bandits in the past and will suppress bandits again deal with it?
Alas, young, still young.
Qin Xu didn't know what the two were thinking about, so he nodded.
Said to the two generals who had just arrived.
"Gather the monks under your command who need military merit, and follow me out later."
They both nodded in agreement.
Soon, nearly a battalion of monks were gathered together.
These are all young masters who need military merit.
Or it may be to gild your resume so that you can get promoted when you return.
Maybe it's for the family, or maybe he has some other considerations.
Qin Xu boarded the flying boat with them.
Soon the flying boat appeared above the vast blue waves.
"Sergeant, this... we just arrived and we are going to fight? If we don't prepare more, will there be any danger?"
A soldier who looked like a handsome young man asked his sergeant cautiously.
While questioning, he was also checking the various spiritual weapons on his body.
Although everyone who saw it knew that this was not an ordinary spiritual weapon, various flowing runes were flashing on it.
Captain Wu was also a child of an aristocratic family. He looked at this newcomer who was at the peak of the foundation building stage.
It was similar to the first time he went to the battlefield.
Although there were some fights on weekdays, those who were born in the imperial city family rarely experienced life and death during the foundation-building period.
It is not their turn to experience life and death.
And just when they are about to face this kind of danger, it is on the battlefield where two armies are fighting.
This kind of environment is far more dangerous than the fight between three or five monks.
"It's okay, just pirates."
"When I first joined the army, I went to the border area and escaped unscathed from a battle with a foreign army. Compared to that, pirates are nothing."
He always liked to brag about how he was assigned to the frontier army right after joining the army and participated in a border friction war.
In fact, it was an unexpected encounter.
They were taken to experience the frontier atmosphere, and happened to meet a group of newly recruited monks who were patrolling the frontier for the first time.
They all thought that the other side was coming to attack their new recruits, so they started fighting.
As the fight went on, Shangguan discovered that everyone was equally matched.
So there was a tacit fight between the new recruits.
The fighting lasted from morning to noon of the next day, three battalions against three battalions, and only five unlucky guys died in total.
But that doesn't stop them from bragging about it.
As a new recruit, he fought against foreign troops and escaped unscathed.
Seeing that the boy still looked a little worried, he whispered to him.
"Don't worry, I have some friendship with your father, I won't let anything happen to you, try to stay close to me when fighting."
There are usually large formations in public places in the dynasty. Large formations usually have detection functions. The fluctuations of spiritual power such as sound transmission can be sensed and will attract the attention of the formation operator.
This is also the reason why the monks of the dynasty do not like to transmit messages in public areas covered by large formations.
Many recruits in the flying boat were checking the various spiritual weapons on themselves.
Looking around, most of them are defensive spiritual weapons.
Even some of the Jindan had several defensive magic weapons on them.
Various chain mail, inner armor, breastplate, pagoda...
For a moment, precious light flashed in the cabin where the soldiers were.
All officers above the rank of colonel are here with Qin Xu.
I am listening to the instructions of the commander-in-chief.
"Military merit will be indispensable in the future. The 'water bandits' here are rampant and can be said to be endless."
Nangong Yu quickly said, "Sir, do you want to call for some more support?"
"You are also an old general, so why should you be afraid of the pirates?"
"Commander-in-chief, how could I be afraid? I am being cautious and thorough. War is not a joke. There will be large numbers of monks falling."
Shen Yuchang followed up and said, "Yes, sir, we should be more cautious. If there are any great monks hiding among the pirates, we may not be able to deal with them."
Qin Xu didn't explain anything further.
How could he not know what kind of character this pirate was?
"In my army, you just follow orders and don't worry about anything else."
No one spoke anymore, but they all felt that Lord Qin underestimated the war.
Even this kind of war between soldiers and bandits.
The fighting between monks, once it reaches a certain scale, will become extremely uncontrollable.
Nangong Yu sighed secretly.
I don't know where this kid gets the confidence from.
Following Qin Xu, sooner or later he would have to use his famous skills, the wind is strong and he would cry~
Soon they came to a place marked as a bandit stronghold.
When getting off the flying boat, everyone was a little nervous.
Seeing this, Xia Cheng shook his head and smiled.
This group of people, it’s fine if they just bully the families in the city, but if they are really asked to suppress the bandits, I’m afraid all kinds of accidents will really happen.
These battalions of soldiers did indeed live up to their "reputation".
