Chapter 150: Chu Ge's Secret, Possessing Food and Self-Respect, Hong Mo's Breakthrough (Willful Extra)
Who is Chu Ge?
Of course Chu Ge is the demon son of the original demon sect.
Could it be that Feihu, the defender of the city, has already found out something from Linyuan City?
Faced with the sudden questioning from the Feihu guarding the city, Miao Daqi was a little frightened for a moment.
He thought quickly in his mind, and from Feihu Bacheng's expression, he vaguely realized that Feihu Shoucheng went to investigate Chu Ge, which must have been instructed by the other party.
Now that the situation has been exposed, should he tell the truth about Chu Ge’s identity as the original demon and protect himself?
While he was thinking in his heart, Feihu Shoucheng suddenly changed the subject and smiled coldly.
"But where he came from is no longer important. Elder Miao, do you think so?
He has now betrayed his cooperation with us and the Great Zhou. Regardless of whether he has any adventures or secrets, he has become our enemy."
Feihu Shoucheng suddenly looked at Jiao Yongji and said, "How should we deal with enemies and traitors? Master Jiao, I will propose to Deputy Master Ji.
I ask you, me, and Elder Miao to immediately form a pursuit team to hunt down Chu Ge. We must capture him and punish him severely to serve as a warning to others."
After he said this, he suddenly felt refreshed, and he finally let out some of the anger he had suffered at the hands of Chu Ge.
I began to imagine the joy of capturing Chu Ge and asking him about his secret.
This was actually indeed instructed by Feihu Bacheng.
But at first, they didn't take Chu Ge too seriously, they just wanted to avenge Bu Xianglin.
However, as they investigated Chu Ge, they discovered something strange.
Chu Ge’s cultivation speed is too fast.
Feihu Bacheng seriously suspected that Chu Ge might have obtained some kind of innate magic weapon, and it was a kind of magic weapon that could help to practice quickly.
But their Feihu family lacks this kind of natural magic weapon.
If this is true, then it may be the next opportunity for the Feihu family to rise to prominence.
Therefore, after Feihu launched a tentative attack on the city defense, he suddenly changed the subject in order to avoid revealing too much information and causing Jiao Yongji to make associations.
Now, he was certain that Miao Daqi must know something.
At this moment, Jiao Yongji looked hesitant.
Faced with Feihu's proposal to defend the city and Feihu's gloomy face, he was in a dilemma.
And he was riding on two tigers.
Chu Ge suddenly quit and left. From his perspective, it was clear.
The other party is most likely under pressure from Feihu Bacheng and therefore does not want to play with them.
But this kind of behavior is indeed excessive, but it cannot be considered as betrayal.
After all, the other party killed Sha Hongru and Bai Ran before leaving, and he also withdrew, which was equivalent to handing over Yunying City directly to them.
Although it is wrong to take away so many resources, at most the merits and demerits offset each other, and it can't be considered betrayal.
When Jiao Yongji was feeling a headache, Feihu Bacheng snorted coldly, stared at Jiao Yongji with burning eyes, and said.
"Master Jiao, do you think Chu Ge's behavior is not considered betrayal?
If we let this go, other partners in the future may follow suit, get the benefits and then leave the mess behind. Then where is the prestige of our three forces? How can we convince the public?"
Miao Daqi's expression changed slightly, and he thought something was wrong.
Judging from the posture of Feihu Bacheng, it seems that he has discovered something extraordinary and is planning to chase after that demon.
Time passed quickly and soon it was noon the next day.
It is more than 700 miles from Yunying City to Fengliang Town at the foot of Yinshui Sect Mountain.
Chu Ge and two other ghosts drove the carriage from midnight to noon without stopping. The four strange-blood horses finally dragged the carriage to the end of the field, looking a little tired.
The closer you get to the town, the more pedestrians you see on the road.
Most of them are mountain farmers or hunters driving ox carts or donkeys.
It is rare to come across traveling merchants driving mule carts.
People like Chu Ge, who drove two carriages with strange-blood horses, were obviously rich and powerful and not to be messed with, so people on the road avoided him.
The car drove along a winding country road.
The road will cut the yellow and green plain in half, extending towards the distant Fengliang Town and the mountains of Yinshui Cave.
This town lives up to its name. The farmlands on both sides of the road are full of vitality in early spring.
The paddy fields waiting for rice planting were as flat as a mirror, the water was shining with golden light, and the blue sky and white clouds were swaying.
In the middle of the wheat fields, there are some sweet clover with small red flowers and radish flowers with small white flowers. There are more bright yellow rape flowers, exuding an intoxicating fragrance.
However, mixed with these aromas is the primitive smell of cow dung.
Occasionally, some traces of cow dung can be seen on the road, but the cow dung has disappeared as it has long been picked up by farmers and used as fertilizer. If you pick up a lot of this good stuff, you can exchange it for a meal at the tenant's house.
Dugu Mingxin was obviously not a noble lady from a rural background, and she probably seldom came to such a small rural place.
When she smelled the cow dung, she couldn't help but cover her nose and frowned slightly.
When the car curtain was inadvertently opened, her beautiful and clear face was revealed, which immediately made the passers-by and farmers who saw her outside the car stunned, and they stood there in a daze, unable to move.
In fact, for people from small places, it is indeed difficult to meet a beauty like Dugu Mingxin. If they exclaim that it is like seeing a fairy, they would be stupid.
After all, in the countryside, no matter how beautiful a girl is, she still has to do farm work and eat brown rice.
In this world, it’s good enough to be alive, what’s the point of talking about beauty?
Therefore, among the people Chu Ge met along the way, except for the warriors, there were very few tall and strong men, and there were also few beauties among the women.
Some so-called warriors in the countryside are nothing more than farmers who have learned some farming skills.
He was carrying a rusty spear that came from nowhere. The spear was more than twice as long as his three-inch height. He carried it on the road, but it was enough to scare some farmers who didn't know the way and they all got out of his way.
Chu Ge looked for a while and had a rough idea of the appearance of Fengliang Town.
This may be a small town with a small population, abundant food, relatively backward economy, and not very strong per capita military force.
Compared with Linyuan City, whose prosperous economy relied on water transportation, although its economy was relatively backward, it was self-sufficient and had less population mobility, making it a more suitable place for defending the city.
The Yinshui Sect is located here, which is a symbol of military force and represents the backing of Fengliang Town, protecting the large amount of crops and grain grown by the many people here.
In this chaotic world, the Hidden Water Sect controls this town and a lot of food, which is equivalent to a small kingdom. It truly has a sense of being independent from the rest of the world, isolated from the chaos.
If there really is an enemy attacking, the Yinshui Sect can close the mountain gate and defend it.
And there is no reason for a strong enemy to continue to attack.
After all, this place is not a transportation hub and the economy is not good.
Apart from a large amount of food and a few relatively spiritual mountains, there are no other important resources, so there is no need to fight to the death with the Hidden Water Sect.
After roughly examining the situation, Chu Ge felt more and more satisfied.
At this time, the carriage, driven by Xiao Qian and Xiao Gui, who were wearing cloaks and hats, arrived at the gate of Fengliang Town.
Chu Ge waved his hand, turned away Dugu Mingxin who was about to come over to give him a massage, and said lightly.
"If you want to show off, do it sooner rather than later. You're about to get off the bus, so what's the point of showing off?"
Dugu Mingxin lowered her head charmingly and said, "I understand, Your Highness. Mingxin will be smarter next time." After that, she put on her veil gracefully. Her peerless face and figure were pure and noble, which only Chu Ge could admire.
Chu Ge admired the way Tianming Sect trained women, and it seemed like they knew men’s minds very well.
The saints and spiritual officials trained are all graceful and inviolable, and can only be admired from afar but not touched.
In fact, once it falls into the hands of the child of destiny, he can play whatever tricks he wants.
This is unless you meet a female emperor like Wu Zetian.
Otherwise, some of the chosen ones would have to be controlled tightly, after all, even a hero would be tempted by a beautiful woman.
Unfortunately, he is different.
He has been hanging around with Long Zhong for a long time, so he likes to take advantage of others and ignore them, and he is tough from beginning to end.
Now, Dugu Mingxin has made another breakthrough in his martial arts and his strength has improved a lot, which is also a good thing for him.
At this time, the carriage had gradually arrived at the inspection point at the city gate.
Chu Ge took off the porter's mask and walked out of the carriage.
Several young men who had been waiting at the city gate saw him, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they all came forward to greet him.
"Master Chu!"
The call of "Sir" frightened the people around so much that they all fled in panic.
Chu Ge turned his eyes and found that the people coming towards him were Bai Yun, Li Chenxi and others.
Obviously, Bai Yun, Ling Mu and the other two had left on horseback last night and were going to arrive at Fengliang Town before him, so he was waiting at the door to greet them.
"Lord Chu!"
At this time, the captain of the Fengliang garrison who came with Bai Yun and others also stepped forward, clasped his fists to Chu Ge and said with a smile.
"We have all received the advice of Chu Zhen and Elder Liu. Once you arrive, we will take you to settle down in the city."
Chu Ge was not surprised by this.
Before he arranged for these young people to come here for refuge, he had already discussed it with his sister Chu Feixue.
What's more, Ma Lin once personally asked the Yinshui Shen Ni to take him in.
Chu Feixue obviously also had the support of the sect, and everything had been arranged long ago.
He immediately followed the crowd into the city.
The captains of the garrison in Fengliang City all follow direct instructions from the Yinshui Sect.
This is enough to show the status and authority of the Yinshui Sect in Fengliang Town.
This place is a remote mountain town, where the emperor is far away.
Now that troubled times have come again, the Hidden Water Sect is able to protect the safety of the people in this city.
I’m afraid that the people in Fengliang Town may not know whether the emperor’s surname is Zhou or Yun, but they definitely know who the leader of the Yinshui Sect is.
After a cup of tea.
Passing through the hotels, restaurants and taverns along the street, Chu Ge was led by everyone into a towering three-in-one courtyard-style building.
All the supplies were put into the room which had already been cleaned and looked after by Ergui and Dugu Mingxin.
During this journey, Li Chenxi and others told him good news.
Cong Hongmo has already broken through the Condensation Realm.
Moreover, he had achieved a breakthrough just yesterday and is now in seclusion to consolidate his state.
Chu Ge was also quite pleased with this good news.
Among the fifteen young men he rescued, Cong Hongmo was the only one with superior spiritual aptitude and had the greatest hope of breaking through the Condensation Realm.
In fact, if these young men had not been captured and imprisoned by the Shenyi Sect for a year or two, some of them might have already broken through the concentration level.
Cong Hongmo is the most promising one among them.
Next are Li Chenxi and Linghu Xianji, two of whom have upper-middle spiritual qualifications.
"It seems that the blood-boosting and marrow-cleansing pills I gave you last time were not wasted. They helped you quickly recover the damaged blood and qi that you had in the past. Cong Hongmo's breakthrough is a good result."
In the courtyard, Chu Ge and the young men who came after hearing the news were walking in the corridor, and suddenly their eyes turned to Li Chenxi and Linghu Xianji.
"I see that the Qi and blood of both of you are not far from the peak. I just happened to get a new Blood-Boosting and Marrow-Cleansing Pill. Do you have the courage to take the pill and try to break through?"
As soon as these words were spoken, some of the other young men behind him showed envy.
Li Chenxi and Linghu Xianji both had different expressions.
Linghu Xianji was obviously more hesitant, and he clasped his fists carefully and said, "Master Chu, I just took the Blood-Enhancing and Marrow-Cleansing Pill some time ago. To be safe, I would like to practice slowly for a few months to stabilize it before preparing for a breakthrough."
He knew this was an opportunity.
After all, the Blood-Enhancing and Marrow-Cleansing Pill is very valuable. Chu Ge is willing to give it to them. This is real resource training. If they miss this time, there may not be a next time.
However, breaking through the state of condensed energy is a matter of great importance, which affects one's future prospects. One cannot afford to make any mistakes, nor can one act too hastily.
With upper-middle spiritual aptitude and top-notch cultivation techniques, there is indeed a 60% chance of breaking through to the Condensation Realm.
But after all, there is still a terrifying 40% failure rate.
He would rather go slow and take it slow.
Li Chenxi frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded with a firm look, "Thank you, Master Chu, for your appreciation. I am willing to take the elixir and give it a try. I dare to ask you to protect me."
He had his considerations. The side effects of the Blood-Increasing and Marrow-Cleansing Pill were minimal, and he was trying to restore his former Qi and blood state. In fact, the foundation had already been laid.
Inspired by Cong Hongmo, his desire to reach the state of concentration was surging and urgent.
"Okay! Protecting the Dharma will be no problem."
Chu Ge smiled.
These are all geniuses, each with a different temperament and understanding, different levels of confidence, and their own understanding and grasp of their own martial arts and breakthroughs.
So he just threw out the questions and left them free to choose.
However, we will not use our own temperament or the temperament of others to try to change or suppress the development of these geniuses, so as not to ruin their potential.
He looked at the other young men and said, "If you guys cultivate to the middle stage of blood exchange or above, you can also come to me to get a blood-enhancing marrow-cleansing pill.
If you perform well, you can have both. "
Chu Ge spared no expense for these talented young people.
These people were all saved by him and they regard him as their benefactor. Their loyalty can be guaranteed and they are his confidants.
The more he invests, the more powerful supporters he will have in the future to help him gain a foothold in troubled times.
Although the Blood-Increasing and Marrow-Cleansing Pills are precious, in fact, the two bottles obtained from the Evil-Suppression Bureau this time contain as many as seven pills.
If you need more in the future, you can spend more money to buy it.
If you have people with power, you don't have to worry about not having money or resources.
