Witch Wind

Chapter 176: Officials Force Officials to Revolt (Part )
Ying Wu's face flushed red, and black mist filled the air under his feet. He managed to stabilize his body with great difficulty. He looked at Zhu Diao Chong angrily and said in a stern voice: "Zhu Fei Chong, your cultivation is not right."

Zhu Diao Chong put his hands together, smiled and nodded: "Yes, you used to be Ying Wu, and you could kill ten monks with one finger. Unfortunately, I got the initiation from my master, and I became enlightened on my own, and got the Supreme Enlightenment, the Ten Faiths, the Ten Dwellings, the Ten Practices, and the Ten Resonances, which is already the true Bodhisattva fruition."

Xing Tianli’s eyes widened.

In the "Primitive Witch Scripture", more than a dozen witch characters flashed out weakly.

The Ten Faiths, Ten Dwellings, Ten Practices, and Ten Echoes are all detailed descriptions of the levels of Bodhisattva practice. The Ten Faiths are the most basic level of Bodhisattva practice, and obtaining the Ten Echoes is already an extremely profound power in Bodhisattva practice.

If we compare it with the immortals in common sense, the weakest Bodhisattva is also at the Golden Immortal level, and a Bodhisattva at the tenth level is the pinnacle of Golden Immortals, a terrifying existence close to the Taiyi Wonderland.

Fortunately, judging from the aura on Vermilion Diao Chong's body, his realm has indeed reached the tenth level of echoes, but his magic power is hindered by the obstacles of the Dharma Ending Age. Even with the initiation of a great being, his magic power is only that of an ordinary earthly immortal.

There were clouds all around and water vapor was rising.

Not long after, Cai Jing and Tong Guan came over with Zhao Qingqi. Xing Tianli hurriedly glanced at Zhao Qingqi. Fortunately, this girl was still a decent person and showed no signs of a surge in her cultivation.

Wei Zhongxian also suddenly flashed to the bow with a few gloomy old eunuchs, and grinned at Ying Wu with a forced smile.

Several men from the Great Chu State, wearing long robes and tall hats, were singing, reciting poems, drinking old wine, and stepping on the floating duckweed on the river surface. They came over nonchalantly, like young men on an outing.

There was a loud roar in the sky, and a large patch of dark clouds filled the air. A dozen ancient bronze chariots suddenly fell from the sky with thunder and landed directly on the deck of the giant ship. Dozens of men wearing heavy armor and with solemn expressions slowly stepped down from the chariots.

The leading man was over nine feet tall and thin, but he looked extremely murderous.

He had tried his best to control his breath, but there was still a faint blood mist floating from his body. In the blood mist, one could vaguely see a strange figure with a dragon head, a body covered with white bones, and seven arms on his back. His bony arms were tightly grasping seven bone swords, which he was slowly waving in the air.

Xing Tianli's pupils shrank.

This Dharma image is the humanized Dharma image of 'Zhu Yin', the death branch of the core bloodline 'Zhu Jiuyin' in the ancient witch palace, which specializes in the power of death and the netherworld Dharma lineage.

Needless to say, Zhu Jiuyin's origins were enormous and his power was simply horrifying. Legend has it that when he opened his eyes, the sun was in the sky and the world was bright; if he closed his eyes, the world would be dark and ghosts would roam the night.

The 'Zhu Yin' lineage is unknown in many ancient books, because its bloodline is rare and there are not many members of the clan. Also, because it specializes in the power of death and the underworld, it is not welcomed even within the witch clan.

In the ancient times, during the Yu Dynasty, when the human tribes formed an alliance, the Zhuyin bloodline was still the most important force in the human army. During the Xia Dynasty, there was no more annihilating war, and the human race enjoyed a period of peace. The Zhuyin bloodline gradually declined, and by the Shang Dynasty, the Zhuyin tribe had already disappeared from the world.

The man in front of him had a very pure Zhu Yin bloodline and a very high level of cultivation. His strength was definitely at the Golden Immortal level.

A subordinate of the Qin Dynasty, he specialized in the Zhu Yin bloodline, which was the power of death, and he had such a fierce killing intent. This person...

Ying Wu's face flushed red again, and he bowed deeply to the middle-aged man in dismay: "King Wu'an, I can handle this fat Zhu bug, why do I need you to help me?"

Xing Tianli was startled again. He asked in surprise, "Bai?"

There was a flash of blood in the middle-aged man's eyes. He looked at Xing Tianli. His eyes turned completely scarlet, but his pupils were like two white bone swords, shaking and jumping restlessly in his blood-red eyes.

"I am Bai Zhong. The Wu'an Jun Bai Qi you are thinking of is my father." Bai Zhong said in a deep voice: "Thanks to my father's influence, I was named Wu'an Wang in Qin... ahem, in fact, I have always been kind-hearted, and I have not killed many people, nor have I made many military achievements. I am really ashamed to be named a king by Your Majesty."

Xing Tianli looked at Bai Zhong who tried his best to control the blood and energy in his body, but still couldn't completely control it. He laughed, "Hehehe" - do you think I'm a fool? The Zhuyin bloodline can't improve cultivation if you don't kill people. Your cultivation has reached the Golden Immortal Realm, brother, you said you have always been kind?

If I didn't have an encyclopedia of the witch clan in my head, which revealed all your details, I would have been fooled by you.

Xing Tianli laughed dryly, while Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wei Zhongxian and others also laughed "hehehe" extremely awkwardly.

Obviously, they all knew Bai Zhong, and they treated Bai Zhong's words as a crosstalk joke.

However, due to Bai Zhong's bad reputation, even old swindlers like Cai Jing and Tong Guan were somewhat inexplicably afraid. They seemed unable to do anything except laugh dryly. But looking at their sullen eyes, it was obvious that they were angry that Ying Qin had broken the rules.

To put it simply, the Jiazi Walking means that the younger generations of the clan wander around the world, picking up some thorns and causing some trouble for the forces in charge of the divine weapons of China, and then sharing the profits with everyone when they return.

You, Ying Qin, actually sent out a military force like Bai Zhong. What do you want to do?
Especially since Bai Zhong is so powerful. Even if he is of the witch clan's bloodline and is practicing physical cultivation, he is at the Golden Immortal level after all. How much will it cost you, Ying Qin, to come out for a stroll in this Dharma Ending Age?

Aren’t you afraid that he will start a big fight outside and then empty out the wealth of your ancestral land when he returns?
When Bai Zhong appeared, the atmosphere suddenly became weird.

The giant ship has slowly approached the shore.

On the shore, among the vanguard troops sent by Xing Tianli, a dozen Xing Tian brothers led a large group of elite soldiers and shouted in unison, saluted Xing Tianli, and those indigenous warriors of Black Borneo knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation, and worshipped Xing Tianli.

For a moment, Zhu Diaochong, Zhao Qingqi, Mi Xiangjun, and Ying Wu were all envious and jealous. They stared at these elite soldiers and could not take their eyes away.

Zhao Qingqi pretended to be coquettish and said, "Brother Li, are you sure that you are not the Jiazi Walker of this generation of Daxia?"

Xing Tianli shuddered with fear and got goosebumps all over his body. There was something wrong with Zhao Qingxuan. She usually dressed like a man and acted in a dashing manner, but today she suddenly acted like a little girl!

What was even more terrible was that Xing Tianli suddenly discovered that she was wearing women's clothes today, a complete set of Zhao Song court costumes. On her head and hands, there were many dazzling ornaments, which made her look so dazzling that she looked like a peerless beauty carved out of jade.

What is this going to do?
You, Zhao Song, want to use a beauty trap?
Xing Tianli looked at Zhu Diao Chong with a strange look, and coughed lightly, "Aren't you Zhao Song and Zhu Ming planning to form an alliance? Hey, hey, I'm only sixteen..."

Zhao Qingqi's face turned red and he clenched his teeth.

The red carved insect smiled, clasped his hands together, and chanted the Buddha's name repeatedly.

Ying Wu and Mi Xiangjun looked at Zhu Diao Chong thoughtfully, then looked at Zhao Qingjun, and then smiled strangely as if they had suddenly realized something. Mi Xiangjun was a gentleman, and he saw through it but didn't say anything, while Ying Wu patted his chest and said, "Ha, so that's how it is, Zhu Fei Chong, are you going to marry into Zhao Song's family?"

Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Wei Zhongxian all snorted coldly and were about to speak when Bai Zhong took a step forward leisurely. The erratic Zhu Yin Dharma image behind him suddenly let out a sharp whistle, so the three old villains all changed color, took a step back reluctantly, forced their heads to turn, and looked at the river on the side.

Cai Jing sighed: "Such a beautiful land."

Tong Guan said quietly, "What can we do about the smell of stench all over the floor?"

Wei Zhongxian nodded: "When will China be restored?"

Xing Tianli weakly stabbed them: "You three are really not very good at writing couplets, so why don't you just write couplets? What makes the atmosphere so awkward? You are dissatisfied with Prince Bai, why don't you join forces and beat him up!"

Bai Zhong grinned, smiled, and nodded towards Xing Tianli with great pleasure.

The three old villains blushed slightly, and then quickly returned to normal. Wei Zhongxian laughed sharply and said, "What are you talking about, Lord Jieshi? Our three ancient families have been friends for generations. How could we do such a thing of fighting and killing? Hey, stop making noise. Your people are waiting for you downstairs. Let's talk about our serious business later."

Serious business?
Xing Tianli narrowed his eyes. Well, Ying Qin, Zhou Chu, Zhao Song, and Zhu Ming, the four great families' Jiazi walking warriors all showed up, and Ying Qin even sent out Bai Zhong, a weapon of mass destruction that is equivalent to a walking nuclear bomb. You guys are not reserved at all and don't even give the Dayu Dynasty any face?

Okay, let’s get down to business. I’m waiting to hear your serious stories.

Not even bothering to use the gangway, Xing Tianli jumped directly from the deck of the Lao Gao. Amid the exclamations of countless people who greeted him at the dock, he fell to the ground with a thud, like a heavy meteorite, splashing up a large amount of sand and dust.

All the brothers of the Xingtian clan bowed to Xingtian Li in unison: "Big Brother!"

Xing Tianli nodded and was about to speak when an old official who was about five feet one inch tall (one hundred and sixty-eight centimeters), thin, with a handsome face, a beautiful beard, and a sturdy figure, strode up to him.

At first glance, this old official looked to be at least seventy years old. Normally, at this age, an official of the Great Yu Dynasty would have resigned and returned home to build his own mausoleum. However, this old official was wearing a dragon robe bestowed by the emperor, a dragon-shaped jade belt bestowed by the emperor, two dragon-shaped rings and pendants hanging from his waist, and a yellow jade ruyi that was obviously made by the inner court was played with in his hand. He exuded a strong aura of "the emperor's great grace and a loyal minister of the country".

He had five thin braids floating behind his head. Although he was over seventy years old, his steps were more agile than those of a young man. He rushed to Xing Tianli and shouted in a stern voice, "Traitor, rebellious son, what do you want to do?"

Xing Tianli was stunned by the scolding. He stared at the old official who rushed to him less than two feet away. His saliva sprayed on the purple Taoist robe, but was bounced away by the invisible force around the purple Taoist robe. He smiled and asked, "Excuse me, old man, who are you?"

The old official raised his head proudly: "This old man is Wei Wuya from Hedong!"

The old man just gave his name without making any other introduction. It was obvious that he thought that once he gave his name, everyone in the world would know his name.

Sure enough, Xing Tianli knew him.

In fact, several years ago, when he was in Xiaolongqiu Town, Xing Tianli had already gotten to know the old ghost Wei Wuya deeply from official reports and folk gossip.

Wei Wuya, the governor of Hedong, was a child prodigy, a young celebrity, a middle-aged scholar, and a national elder when he got old. He has been the governor of Hedong for forty years and has never moved. He established the Chibi School in Hedong, and his disciples are all over the world. His influence spreads across the four provinces, and some of his disciples are in high positions in the court. His network of relationships spreads all over the world.

It is difficult to describe the glorious deeds of this old man in a short time, so let's just talk about one thing - the wives of his eldest son, second son, and third son were all princesses and princesses of the Dayu Dynasty. This shows the influence of this old man in the court and how brilliant and glorious he was.

But according to folk rumors, this man was a playboy when he was young and became a dissolute man when he was old.

Take this year for example. This old man is over 70 years old, and he has taken in four new concubines. Two of them are a pair of singing sisters. They are truly young and romantic. I don't know how his body can handle it.

What's even more exciting is that there is a secret rumor that this old man is good at "stealing ashes".

But the targets of his pursuit were not the wives of his other fifty or sixty sons, but the wives of his eldest son, second son, and third son, three wives with special identities.

Despite such behavior, the Chibi School founded by this old man still has the purpose of "studying with sincerity, establishing oneself in the world with loyalty, and cultivating oneself with virtue"!
'Cultivate oneself with virtue'!

Gee!

Xing Tianli looked Wei Wuya up and down. He smiled amiably, bowed, and said, "May I ask what lessons do you have for me, old sir?"

Wei Wuya said in a deep voice: "Are you going to rebel?"

Xing Tianli's eyes widened, and he said in shock: "Old sir, you dare not say that. I have always been loyal to the emperor and the country. The word rebellion is a taboo and cannot be mentioned at all."

Wei Wuya said sternly, "Since you are not rebelling, why do you send so many soldiers from Jieshi County up the Yangtze River, along the three major water systems of Jingshui, Weishui, and Lishui, and seize cities, towns and villages along the way, forcibly control the three lifeline waterways, and cut off the north-south traffic of the country? What do you want?"

Xing Tianli said in a deep voice: "Make sure my soldiers and food supplies are not threatened. This is the most important thing when marching and fighting."

Wei Wuya laughed loudly, "Hahahaha", he turned around and shouted at the large group of officials and countless civilians behind him: "How ridiculous, could it be that the officers and soldiers along these three major water systems are useless? Can't they guarantee the safety of your military and food routes?"

Xing Tianli also laughed loudly, his laughter even suppressed Wei Wuya's laughter: "It's interesting when you say that. If the officers and soldiers under your command are not useless, why not pull them out to fight with my soldiers? No matter how many troops you send out, the three thousand elite soldiers here are more than enough!"

Xing Tianli became angry.

If the army under your command, Wei Wuya, is just a bunch of idiots, then that's fine. Three thousand elite soldiers are enough to kill them.

If you, Wei Wuya, are unfortunate enough to have a group of elite soldiers under your command, they will experience how terrifying it is to fight against thirty-six celestial immortals, one hundred and eight earthly immortals, and about two thousand fairyland soldiers and evil spirits, with each person carrying a 150mm heavy howitzer and charging!
Three thousand large-caliber howitzers fired at the same time, and your million-strong army will be defeated.

Do you, Wei Wuya, have an army of one million?

You are just the Governor of Hedong, how dare you mobilize an army of millions?

Wei Wuya's laughter suddenly stopped. His face turned red from holding it in. He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, "What are your military and food strategies for?"

Xing Tianli looked at Wei Wuya curiously - just now Mi Xiangjun and others were on the river, making a fuss at the bow of the boat, it seems that you were more than ten or twenty miles away, and you didn’t see clearly what happened?

It is also possible that once these people take action, either the wind and clouds will roll, or the black fog will be everywhere, or the Buddhist teachings will be subtle, or their escape methods will be magical. How can a mortal eye see anything clearly from a distance of more than ten or twenty miles?
No wonder this old fool dared to yell in front of Xing Tianli.

If you saw clearly how these guys flew and hid underground, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have the courage to stand in front of Xing Tianli and make a noise, right?

Xing Tianli's voice became louder and louder: "Old sir, please understand. I am sending out a large army to the northwest to quell the rebellion. This is a serious matter to solve the country's problems and share the country's worries. I have a million troops under my command to fight against the rebellion. There must be no shortage of soldiers and food."

Wei Wuya laughed loudly again, "This is ridiculous. The rebellion has been quelled by the nobles of the imperial court. You are just a vassal, and you mobilized the troops without authorization. If this is not rebellion, then what else could you be doing?"

Xing Tianli coughed lightly, "I am just worried about my country and my people, the heaven and earth can bear witness to this... If I hadn't sent out troops, would the high-ranking officials in the court have been able to put down the rebellion? Look, look, now those rebel armies have taken down dozens of cities in the four provinces of Shanhe. The officers and soldiers are incompetent."

Wei Wuya was so angry that his nose was crooked. He roared, "How can this be absurd? If your three million troops had not surrendered to the enemy and sent countless supplies and food to the rebel army, the defense line of the four provinces of Shanhe would be as solid as a mountain. How could it be broken by a mere rebel army?"

Xing Tianli immediately cried out to Chao Tianyuan: "You old sir, please don't talk nonsense. The three million vanguard troops were the servants of Dongyun organized by me. Their fighting power is a little weak. How can I blame them for their defeat? Alas, I didn't expect that the people of Dongyun were so weak and could be so vulnerable."

"This is the incompetence of the Dongyun people. What does this have to do with me?"

Wei Wuya's eyes bulged with anger. His lifelong Qi cultivation skills were ruined by Xing Tianli's anger. He blinked and looked up at Xing Tianli, who was much taller than him. He suddenly shouted, "My fellow heroes, the traitor is right in front of us. Capture him quickly. He is such a great hero, how can we let him go?"

Behind Wei Wuya, dozens of strange-looking people suddenly rushed out from the crowd. They were all wearing official robes of various grades, but there was not a single official smell on them, only a strong aura of gangsters.

They shouted in unison and rushed towards Xing Tianli.

Xing Tianli raised his eyebrows and shook his head slightly at the Xing Tian brothers who were about to launch an attack. When a big man rushed in front of him and his fist just touched his chest, Xing Tianli flew backwards suddenly and hit his head on the side deck of the battleship.

"Bang!" The huge battleship was hit and shook violently, then slid backwards for more than two miles.

Xing Tianli suddenly bounced back, spitting out blood, and fell on the dock with a bang.

He roared hoarsely, "I have devoted my whole heart to the country, and the sun is shining, the sun is shining... But the country is unfortunate, with a tyrant ruler above and treacherous officials below, who wantonly harm a loyal minister like me."

"In that case, I will rebel!"

Xing Tianli's roar was like the sound of ten thousand huge cannons firing simultaneously. Countless officials and civilians in the nearby Chibi City could hear it clearly.

"Everyone, listen carefully. The most loyal minister of Dayu Chaotian, Lord Jieshi Xing Tianli, was forced to rebel by Wei Wuya from Hedong Province!"

"This sir, it's unfair!"

"Kill!" Xing Tianli roared, and with just a roar, the bodies of many officers and soldiers, many constables, and those heroes of the martial arts world behind Wei Wuya exploded one by one, and all turned into bloody mist.

A quarter of an hour later, the entire Chibi was controlled by Xing Tianli.

Transport ships quickly docked, and a large army of indigenous warriors and good family members marched like flowing water in all directions of Hedong Province.

Within half a month, with swift action and the assistance of a large number of vehicles from the British, the army of Jieshi Mansion, which could march hundreds of miles a day, had already moved forward like a tyrant. Starting from the city of Chibi, it advanced rapidly in all directions, sweeping across the surrounding area of ​​3,000 miles without any hindrance. In the southeastern area of ​​Hedong Province, hundreds of cities, large and small, all hung up the banner of "Xingtian Dancing with Ganqi".

For a moment, the Dayu Dynasty was shaken.
