Chapter 166 The 72nd Year of the Great Zhou Zhifeng
The 72nd Year of the Great Zhou Zhifeng.
The eight great immortal sects said that there were evil demons coming from the lower world, so they sent disciples to search the world.
All suspects were arrested without asking the reason.
This action destroyed countless sects and families, and everyone in the world was in danger.
It happened that there was a strange phenomenon in the sky, and a white rainbow pierced the sun in the northwest. Then a celestial being entered the Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace, but was blocked by the sword of the female emperor.
The six sects of the demons took advantage of the opportunity to enter, and the northwest border was in chaos, and the disaster was difficult to suppress.
...
Linjiang County City.
Hui Shi had a strong execution ability and ideas. After two months, he had gained Pei Yuezhi's trust.
Now he has become Pei Yuezhi's deputy in the identity of Chen Shihui, and has shared a lot of work in recruiting guest officials.
However, even so, every day is still very busy.
More and more people from the martial arts world come to seek refuge.
In the past, the Divine Realm was the best, and now even the former wealthy and powerful people have come to seek refuge.
As time goes by, the actions of the eight major immortal gates are getting more and more crazy, and they are intensifying their searches for sects in various places.
Especially the three sects of Tianhe Holy Religion, Zhenkong Dao, and Baiyun City, they have even begun to slaughter without explanation.
But no one can stop them.
The immortal gate is the master of Tianxu Realm and the supreme existence.
Now the Great Zhou territory can be regarded as the most stable and safest place in the entire Tianxu Realm.
After all, there is the empress, Pei Tianren, and Daoyi Palace here.
Even the immortal gate will not come here easily and act presumptuously, and they will be beaten out if they come.
But outside the Great Zhou, there are vast territories, numerous countries, and countless sects and families. They are in trouble.
Even the nine surnames and twenty-four families can hardly protect themselves.
In just two months, ten wealthy families have been destroyed, and several small countries have been overthrown.
Therefore, there are often warriors whose families have been destroyed and their families have been destroyed from outside to escape into the Great Zhou, and the Linjiang Pei family, which is recruiting guest officials, naturally becomes the best place for these people.
The increasing number and strength of guest officials makes Pei Yuezhi happy and worried.
The happy thing is that the stronger the strength of Naxiantang, the more stable his position in the family will be, and he will have a better chance of being appreciated by the ancestors, and maybe he can enter the realm of God before the age of thirty.
What worries him is that with more and more people, the burden is getting bigger and bigger. He feels that he, a small inner world, can no longer control the situation.
After all, now even human immortals have been recruited.
In the world of martial arts, a inner world like him is not even qualified to be looked at by human immortals.
Even among the major families, he has to call those human immortals uncles.
The current Naxian Hall has exceeded his management capabilities.
Fortunately, Huishi has always performed well, and even the two new human immortals have obeyed the system of Naxian Hall.
But Pei Yuezhi always felt a little uneasy, so he specifically found Huishi to ask.
"Mr. Chen, what do you think I should do now?" Pei Yuezhi said with a knotted face, "Now the reputation of Naxian Hall is getting louder and louder, warriors from all over the country are flocking here, even immortals are here, I can't cope with it."
"Sir, do you mean to stop recruiting?" Hui Shi smiled, he had seen through what Pei Yuezhi was thinking.
"Of course we can't stop. This is what the ancestor wants to see." Pei Yuezhi shook his head and said, "If we stop recruiting now, people will think that our Pei family is afraid of the eight immortals. The ancestor will definitely be unhappy when he finds out."
Having said this, he paused and asked in a low voice, "Actually, I want to ask, Mr. Chen, how did you make those two human immortals obey you?
"Although this is the place of the Linjiang Pei family, they asked for shelter here and should abide by the system of the Naxian Hall, but they are human immortals after all, and they have become immortals.
"People like us who have not yet achieved immortality are like ants in his eyes. How do you get along with them, sir?"
"That's easy." Hui Shi nodded and smiled, "I have always been good at convincing people with reason. I will explain the facts and various situations to them clearly, and then explain the reason to them. As long as they still want to seek protection, they will not act rashly. Don't worry, sir."
"Convincing people with reason?" Pei Yuezhi couldn't help but feel a little confused when he heard it, "Is it that simple?"
...
When Hui Shi left Pei Yuezhi, it was already night.
He went straight back to his residence.
However, after returning to his residence, Hui Shi did not go back to his bedroom to rest, but went to the reception hall, as if waiting for some guests.
After a while, he saw two old men coming to visit.
Both of them were in their sixties or seventies, with white hair and beards, and looked like immortals with extraordinary temperament.
"Greetings, Chen Tianren!" The two old men bowed to Hui Shi respectfully.
"No need to be polite, both of you." Hui Shi stood up to greet them and said with a smile, "You two took the initiative to come to me, I think you have already prepared the things you want to sort out."
He and the two old men were old acquaintances.
He had met them earlier when he was in Dajin.
One of the two old men was named Tang Huaiyi and the other was named Song Zhong. They were from the Maojun Tang family and the Guichuan Song family, two of the twenty-four wealthy families, and both were human immortals who had entered the Zhenyuan realm.
Some time ago, they went down to Dajin to collect Tianlu crystals, but were caught by Cui Heng.
At that time, they were among the many immortals on the side of the wealthy families.
When Cui Heng allowed the immortals from the noble families to return, Hui Shi was watching.
Therefore, the two old men knew Hui Shi, so they obeyed his orders. They dared not say anything else and were extremely respectful.
This was not only because they found that Hui Shi, who was not even an immortal, had become a celestial being in such a short time, but also because they knew that Cui Heng was standing behind Hui Shi.
In their opinion, he was a very powerful person, who might even be a celestial monarch, and was equal to the nine major immortal gates.
This might be their only way to survive in the future.
Because, now the Tang family of Maojun and the Song family of Guichuan no longer exist.
A month ago, the angry Zhenkong Dao earth immortal Mie came to these two families and asked them to explain their experiences in the lower world.
These two families knew how terrifying Cui Heng's strength was, and no one dared to say it.
Then they were wiped out by the earth immortals of Zhenkong Dao.
In the end, only a few immortals took advantage of the chaos to escape, or used secret methods to pretend to be dead and escaped death.
This is how Tang Huaiyi and Song Zhong survived.
Originally, they came to Linjiang Pei's just to try their luck and seek a chance to survive.
Unexpectedly, they met Huishi, who immediately made them see hope for the future.
As long as the immortal Cui Heng is there, they have hope of survival.
So, the two joined the Naxiantang of Linjiang Pei's family, followed Huishi, and did things according to Huishi's orders.
Huishi's previous words "convincing people with reason" are this principle.
...
"Chen Tianren, the things you asked us to sort out are all here, please check."
"Chen Tianren, the things you asked us to investigate are also sorted out, please check."
Tang Huaiyi and Song Zhong said to Huishi very respectfully, and presented two volumes of books together.
One volume is all the information about Maojun Tang family and Guichuan sorted by Tang Huaiyi, including historical inheritance, news in various places, and inherited martial arts.
The other volume is the result of the investigation of the two people together, and Song Zhong is responsible for sorting out the data, which is the result of the investigation of the overall status of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Especially the status of ordinary warriors and ordinary people.
"Thank you both." Hui Shi nodded, took the two volumes of books, and said with a smile, "After the Immortal Venerable comes, I will hand over these two volumes of manuals, and I will mention you two then."
He was not arrogant in front of these two people.
Because he knew very well that whether it was Tang Huaiyi or Song Zhong, the one they really wanted to rely on was Cui Heng behind him.
And he worked wholeheartedly for Cui Heng, so naturally he would not pretend to be powerful under Cui Heng.
"Thank you, Chen Tianren, thank you, Chen Tianren!" The two thanked in unison, their hearts were very excited, but they were also a little worried.
"Chen Tianren, may I ask when the Immortal Venerable Cui will come?" Tang Huaiyi couldn't help asking.
"Yes, Chen Tianren, is there any news?" Song Zhong also asked cautiously.
"It should be in the near future..." Hui Shi nodded gently.
At this moment, he seemed to sense something, and his shoulder suddenly felt hot, and he saw a little fire dragon flying out.
"Aowu!"
The little fire dragon shouted with great joy, and looked towards the northwest with great joy.
Hui Shi was also overjoyed and said with a smile: "The Immortal Lord has descended to this world!"
...
The northwest border of Da Zhou, a dense forest on a rainy night.
The grandfather and grandson ran in a hurry.
"Grandson, hold on a little longer, the Da Zhou is ahead, as long as we enter the Da Zhou, we will be safe for the time being." Hong Kang panted and persuaded the little boy beside him.
He is already over ninety years old this year. If he had not cultivated his martial arts to the Xiantian realm and lived for two centuries, he would have died of old age.
But even with the Xiantian Qi, he ran thousands of miles with a nine-year-old child on his back for several days and nights without rest, and he was almost exhausted and died.
"Grandpa, please take a rest. I can feel that you are very tired." The little boy's name is Hong Shen. He is only nine years old and has a basic understanding of martial arts.
"No, we can't rest. Once Grandpa rests, he might not be able to run anymore." Hong Kang shook his head repeatedly, gritted his teeth, dragged Lao Mai's body forward, and said through gritted teeth, "Sun'er, remember, after passing the border of Da Zhou, you will take the secret treasure and go all the way east. You will encounter a big river. Follow the river and you will find Linjiang County."
"Grandpa, I want to go with you!" Hong Shen clenched his little fist, his eyes red, "I also know martial arts, I can kill people, I can kill bad guys!"
"The bad guys are too powerful, Sun'er, you are not their match." Hong Kang was still running, and smiled bitterly, "No hurry, no hurry, it won't be too late to kill that guy when you grow up, cough cough cough!!"
"Grandpa!" Hong Shen panicked.
"I'm fine, don't make a sound!" Hong Kang lowered his voice.
"Grandpa..." Hong Shen's tears flowed down his face, blending with the rain.
These two grandparents were not from the Great Zhou.
Instead, they were from a small family in the neighboring country of Daqi.
The Hong family.
A few days ago, an inner view master of the Tianhe Holy Church found the Hong family and said that the Hong family was reported to be hiding a suspicious person. In order to hunt down the foreign evil demons, they wanted them to cooperate in the investigation.
But this was a fabricated thing.
The Hong family was not large, with only more than 20 people in total. They lived in a mountain village and rarely came into contact with outsiders. How could there be any suspicious people among them?
At that time, Hong Kang saw at a glance that the Tianhe Holy Religion's inner view master must have heard that the Hong family had hidden a secret treasure, and wanted to take the secret treasure away under the pretext of hunting down evil spirits.
Sure enough, the inner view master was exposed when he searched the Hong family.
After finding that he could not find the secret treasure, he was angry and started killing people.
The Hong family is just a small family, and the strongest is only Hong Kang, who is a congenital.
How can he defeat an inner view master who came from an immortal sect and practiced superior martial arts?
So, Hong Kang could only take advantage of the chaos and take his grandson Hong Shen away at night.
After the inner view master of the Tianhe Holy Religion found that the two had escaped, he determined that they had taken the Hong family's secret treasure away and chased them all the way.
Fortunately, the inner view master could not fly into the sky or hide in the ground, so he could only use light body kung fu to track them.
Hong Kang and Hong Shen, the grandson of the two, took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain and fled for thousands of miles. They were caught up several times, but they managed to escape and finally arrived at the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Under the almost crazy search of the eight major immortal sects, the Great Zhou Dynasty almost became the only pure land in the world.
Especially the Linjiang County City where the Pei family was located, it was the dream place of countless warriors who had their families destroyed.
"It's almost there, it's almost there, we'll be there soon!" Hong Kang comforted himself in his heart.
In fact, he already felt his vision blurring, his heart pounding, his head aching, a rusty taste in his throat, and his whole body aching.
Even the innate true qi that could fully nourish the body in the past and theoretically be endless, is now almost completely exhausted and can't be regenerated at all.
This is a sign that the body is about to collapse.
A normal warrior would have been lying on the ground unable to move at this point.
But he was still running.
Relying on his own strong will, he ran away in the rainy night with his young grandson on his back.
Boom!
But at this moment, a loud bang came from the front, and the towering trees collapsed one after another, piled up on top of each other, blocking Hong Kang's way.
Hong Kang instinctively turned around and ran in another direction, but then there was another series of loud bangs, and the trees collapsed one after another, blocking the east road ahead again.
At this time, Hong Kang seemed to sense something, and finally stopped slowly. He stepped his feet in the muddy rain puddle, looked at the dark forest in front of him, took a deep breath and said, "Sir, can't you let our grandfather and grandson go?"
"You old man, you are dreaming." A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties walked out of the dense forest, sneered gloomily, "Hand over the Hong family's secret treasure, and I will leave you an intact body!"
"Then you can take it yourself!" Hong Kang gritted his teeth, dragged his body that was about to collapse, got ready, and roared, "Grandson, run away!"
Boom!
Suddenly, a thunderous sound that shook the earth exploded, and the golden dragon-like lightning split the sky, illuminating the dense forest on the rainy night.
Two figures were vaguely seen walking slowly.
It was a young man and an old Taoist priest.
The two walked in the heavy rain, but the rain deliberately avoided them and fell only three feet away from the two people.
