Chapter 90 Dust filled the sky and the ground collapsed!

Although Zhou Hongyi did not go directly to see Cui Heng after arriving in Lu County, he still asked Liu Zhizhen to pass on the news that Wang Clan of Langya and Xie Clan of Pingshan were joining forces to attack Lu County.

Three days later in the morning.

After Zhou Hongyi finished burning incense and fasting, he brought Liu Zhizhen to the county governor's office and presented a visiting card.

Afterwards, Xu Fengan walked out from inside.

"Please come in, Taoist priests." Xu Fengan smiled and said, "The master is already waiting inside."

After entering the office, he took out the talisman and handed it to Zhou Hongyi.

"What is this?" Zhou Hongyi was a little confused and did not take it directly.

"My Lord, you should be polite and courteous. You can't just let you burn incense and observe the precepts while I don't show any appreciation." Xu Feng'an smiled and said, "Take it. It's a treasure."

"Treasure?" Zhou Hongyi was a little confused. How could a talisman be so precious... "What, what is this?!"

As soon as he got the talisman, his heart was filled with shock.

Zhou Hongyi felt that his soul perception seemed to be strengthened thousands of times in an instant. The laws of heaven and earth that were vague in the past became clear and visible, allowing him to observe and comprehend.

The essence of breaking through the inner world to the divine realm is to adjust one's own inner world by observing and comprehending the laws of the outside world.

When it is adjusted to the degree of harmony with the outside world, it can induce the vitality of heaven and earth to transform the body, open the divine treasure in the body, and break through to the divine realm.

The biggest difficulty is to observe and comprehend the magic power of the outside world.

Now with this talisman in hand, it is equivalent to being able to directly adjust your own inner world according to the "answer"!

The difficulty of breaking through the divine realm is directly reduced to zero!

"Unbelievable, too incredible, there is such a treasure in the world!" Zhou Hongyi was shocked to the extreme, and secretly said, "This Lord Cui must be an immortal, there is absolutely no mistake!"

Before meeting Cui Heng, he was shocked by the effect of this talisman, and determined that Cui Heng must be a hidden immortal god, an extraordinary existence.

After arriving at the inner hall of the county governor's office, Zhou Hongyi and Liu Zhizhen finally met Cui Heng.

The first reaction was that he was so young.

He looked only eighteen or nineteen years old!

Did he attain enlightenment at a young age, or did he regain his youth after practicing to a high level?

Whatever the reason, they were both shocked.

"Greetings, Master Cui!" Zhou Hongyi bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Master Cui!" Liu Zhizhen also bowed with the same respect.

Although Liu Zhizhen still didn't know what made Cui Heng so powerful, he had learned a lot about Cui Heng in the past three days in Lu County.

Even if we ignore other things, the fact that Cui Heng confiscated the property of the aristocratic family and distributed it to the people is enough to make people admire him.

"Please come in, both of you." Cui Heng looked up at the two of them, nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Sit down."

"Thank you, sir."

The two of them said in unison, and then sat down.

"Master Zhou, thank you for bringing the news of Wang's family in Langya and Xie's family in Pingshan." Cui Heng smiled and said

politely, then asked, "I wonder what you are doing here this time?" "Since you asked, I will tell you directly." Zhou Hongyi's attitude was very humble. He stood up and saluted and asked, "May I ask if you really have the ability to call the wind and rain?"

Seeing Zhou Hongyi standing up, Liu Zhizhen, who was standing beside him, naturally did not dare to sit down anymore, and quickly stood up and retreated behind Zhou Hongyi.

Cui Heng looked at the two of them, nodded and smiled, "Yes."

There is nothing to hide. Since he wants to gain the support of Daoyi Palace and sit on the position of governor legitimately, he must show something more substantial.

"Uh..." Zhou Hongyi was stunned when he heard it.

He originally thought that Cui Heng would cover it up, but he didn't expect him to admit it so easily.

This seems to be a little different from the image of the legendary hermit.

Isn't it said that hermits always like to hide their strength, and even if their strength is exposed, they will cover it up in every possible way?

Or is it that this Lord Cui's realm has reached a certain level, and he doesn't care much about it anymore?

What a carefree immortal!

Zhou Hongyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, so he took a deep breath and asked: "May I ask, sir, is it you who was responsible for the falling star in Xiling County?"

"Just a little trick." Cui Heng nodded lightly and smiled.

"Sure enough..." Zhou Hongyi's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and the whole person seemed to become extremely excited. He trembled and asked, "I wonder if you, sir, have become an immortal?"

At this time, Cui Heng found that Zhou Hongyi's body was emitting a yellow light that only he could see.

The yellow light symbolized "desire".

The desire to seek the Tao!

And it was extremely strong.

After Cui Heng collected it, the yellow light around the golden elixir directly increased by five points.

"Sir! There is military intelligence!"

At this time, Chen Tong came here in a hurry.

He looked at Zhou Hongyi and Liu Zhizhen, came to Cui Heng, and said in a low voice: "Sir, the joint forces of Langya Wang and Pingshan Xie are ten miles outside the city. I wonder how to deal with it?" "

How many people are coming?" Cui Heng asked.

"No less than 30,000!" Chen Tong's expression was very serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Although the two coalition forces initially had only more than 2,000 elite soldiers, many merchants and even sects and families along the way heard the news and defected, and even provided their own weapons and food, just to take them with them to attack Lu County."

"Oh?" Cui Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled, "This is the Homecoming Corps trying to counterattack. They can actually gather 30,000 people. It seems that Hui Shisha is not thorough enough!"

"Homecoming Corps?" Chen Tong was stunned at first, then he understood what this meant, and immediately nodded and said, "Yes, these people basically come from the places where Chen Fu County has implemented policies.

"Moreover, these returning groups were desperate to fight back, and they almost spent all their remaining wealth to recruit soldiers. Almost all of the 30,000 people were armored.

"With soldiers like this and the elite troops of the Wang and Xie families charging in the front, they may be more powerful than the 100,000-strong army of the Yan bandits! My lord, do you want to organize soldiers to defend the city?"

"My lord, I can go out of the city to persuade the Wang and Xie coalition forces to retreat." Zhou Hongyi suddenly said, "The Wang and Xie families dare not disobey Daoyi Palace's face."

"They won't be persuaded to retreat." Cui Heng shook his head and smiled, "Now it's better to say that the Wang and Xie families are entangled by these 30,000 soldiers, and it is not up to them whether to attack Lujun City or not.

"What's more, whether it's the people of the Wang and Xie families, or these returning home groups, since they have gathered together, it's just right to get rid of them together, and there's no need to persuade them to retreat. "

Get rid of them all together?!"

Chen Tong looked at Cui Heng in astonishment when he heard that.

He didn't know that it was Cui Heng who made the Juhe County City call the wind and rain, and the Xiling County City was full of falling stars.

Although Chen Tong had also seen Cui Heng raise Huishi to the innate level in one breath, and possessed the powerful strength of gods and Buddhas, and defeated thousands of elite soldiers head-on, but in his cognition, there was still a big gap between a few thousand elite soldiers and 30,000 troops.

Zhou Hongyi thought of the question he had just asked, and was immediately excited, "Sir, do you want to..."

Liu Zhizhen also became excited. Is this a chance to see the immortal take action?

"Wait a moment. "Cui Heng smiled and did not say anything. Instead, he came to the table and picked up a brush.

This left the three people present confused.

Cui Heng quickly drew a straight black line on a piece of paper, handed it to Chen Tong and said, "Go to the city gate tower, and when Wang Xie's army is five miles away, burn this paper."

"Ah?" Chen Tong was confused as he held the piece of paper with only a black line, but he believed that Cui Heng would not joke about such a serious matter, so he saluted and said, "Yes, sir!"

"You two should follow Chen Tong to the city gate tower." Cui Heng said to Zhou Hongyi and Liu Zhizhen, "By then, you will naturally know the answer to the question you asked."

"Yes, sir! "The two said in unison.

They also wanted to see what that piece of paper could do, and what kind of divine means it would be.

After all, this was Cui Heng's answer to "whether he has become an immortal."

...

Has Cui Heng become an immortal?

For him, of course not.

Not only not, but also very far from it.

Above the Golden Elixir, there are Yuanying, Huashen, Fanxu, Hedao, Dujie, and Mahayana!

Only after Mahayana, can one be considered an immortal.

But according to the division of the twenty-one realms of the immortal and mortal worlds in this world, his strength and realm have long surpassed the so-called human immortals, earth immortals, and even heavenly immortals.

Therefore, instead of giving an ambiguous answer, it is better to show it. Some small tricks, let Zhou Hongyi judge for himself.

The piece of paper with only one line is actually the same as the one he wrote "Zhou Hongyi" on before.

They are all talismans.

Recently, Cui Heng has made a lot of progress in the research on the transformation of the power of the golden elixir into runes. Compared with the previous time when he branded Hui Shi, he has been able to write runes with ordinary pens, ink and paper.

However, it is still necessary to inject mana into the runes, which is essentially a kind of use of mana.

"If one day, I don't need to use mana, but just a stroke of the pen, I can also exert great power, then I should really touch the use of rules. "

Cui Heng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He was only at the great success of the Golden Elixir, and was still far from reaching that realm.

...

On the city gate tower.

Wang Jinsheng, who had been hung on the flagpole for three days and three nights, was already in a daze. Suddenly, his ears moved, and he suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the distance. His cloudy eyes suddenly became bright.

"Hahahaha! Here they come, here they come!" Wang Jinsheng shouted excitedly, his eyes staring straight into the distance, laughing, "Uncle, look, here they come, it must be my father bringing people here!"

"Yes, it's him, it's my second brother! The group in the front are his soldiers!" Wang Qingquan also laughed, he looked again, and laughed again, "Not only your father is here, your uncle is here too, and there are also Xie Beixing's soldiers, haha!"

"Great, great!! "Wang Jinsheng cried with joy, and summoned all his strength to shout into the distance, "Dad, Dad! Come and save me, come and save me!"

The experiences of the past few days have brought his spirit to the brink of collapse. If he had not had a little hope in his heart, he would have gone crazy long ago.

Now seeing the arrival of the Wang Xie coalition, all the anger and humiliation in his heart burst out immediately.

"After my father breaks into the city, I must kill that Cui Heng with my own hands, skin him and pull out his tendons, no, execute him prematurely!" Wang Jinsheng's heart was filled with extremely cruel thoughts, "By the way, I will also massacre the city, I must massacre the city, kill everyone here, kill them all! "

Bang, bang, bang!

As Wang Xie's army got closer and closer to Lujun City, the ground inside the city began to shake noticeably, and many ordinary people could hear dense footsteps coming from afar.

Many people couldn't help but panic.

However, Cui Heng had already made arrangements for this. Liu Litao had prepared countermeasures three days ago and soon brought people out to maintain order and arrange for the people to evacuate in an orderly manner.

Although it was impossible for the Wang Xie coalition to break in, In the city, leading the people to escape is actually a superfluous act, but it is still necessary to do so that the people can feel more at ease and avoid causing a lot of unnecessary chaos in panic.

And inside the city gate tower.

Chen Tong, Xu Fengan, Zhou Hongyi, and Liu Zhizhen looked at the tens of thousands of troops coming in the distance with rolling dust.

They couldn't help but feel a little palpitated.

In front of a real military formation, martial arts masters can only protect themselves at most, and it is impossible to confront them head-on.

"Captain Chen, should we burn that..." Zhou Hongyi pointed to the piece of paper spread out on the table and asked Chen Tong.

"Well, the distance is about the same. "Chen Tong nodded, picked up the piece of white paper with only a straight line on it, and placed it on the candle beside him.

Whoosh!

The white paper was ignited and turned into ashes in an instant.

But the black line on it seemed to be not afraid of the flame at all, and it actually floated above the candle in the air.

Then, the black line suddenly turned into gold, emitting a bright and dazzling light, and flew out of the city gate like a meteor, rushing straight towards the direction of the Wang Xie coalition!

At the same time, on the flagpole of the city gate.

Wang Jinsheng, who was imagining how he would torture Cui Heng and the people in the city after breaking the city, suddenly changed his face. He felt a sense of panic for no reason, as if a disaster was about to happen.

"What's going on? My father and uncle have already led the army here. They can break the city with a snap of their fingers. What else can go wrong?" Wang Jinsheng frowned and shook his head, "I must have been tortured too much these days. After breaking the city, I must..."

But at this moment, the thoughts in his mind stopped abruptly.

At this moment, the sudden scene in the distance made his brain a mess. Only

one thought remained -

"How is this possible?!"

Boom!

A deafening sound came from afar, and countless sand, dust and rocks were shaken into the sky.

The earth shook violently, and the walls of the entire Lu County City were shaking and about to fall.

Chen Tong, Zhou Hongyi and others in the city gate tower showed horrified expressions, and the guards on the city wall looked ahead in astonishment.

The ground under the feet of tens of thousands of Wang Xie's coalition forces, the ground within a radius of several miles, actually -

collapsed without any warning!
