Chapter 270 The final decisive battle in preparation(1/2)
Chapter 270 The final battle in the making
After letting go of a group of Taoist cultivators, Yan Nu joined hands with Shen Leling and Lao Gui to press down from the clouds and land in the palace of Rome.
The slave rebels have occupied this huge city, as well as the surrounding manors and several small cities.
They established a new regime and all slaves became citizens.
At first, the governance of Sparta was poor. They had little culture. The nobles either ran away or were killed by them. The whole city was in chaos.
During the month when Yan Nu was trapped in the underworld, they were completely in vain.
It wasn't until Chi Qing came out that he helped them re-establish the government system, distribute land and industries, and restore some production.
In just ten days, the social order was already in order and running.
Because Sparta was a Thracian, that is, a former Greek, it established the ancient Greek city-state system, and he served as a consul elected by the citizens.
However, he seemed to understand but made a mess, but after all, the culture was like this, so Chi Qing followed the locals, introduced the laws and financial system of the Han Dynasty, and combined it with a system that combined Chinese and Western methods.
"Well done, Chi Qing, you can do it." Yan Nu praised.
Except for Miao Han, Yan Nu rarely has anyone as capable as Chi Qing. He has all kinds of laws and regulations at his fingertips, knows complicated data clearly, and handles government affairs with extreme efficiency.
Originally, the city of Rome was in a mess, and Yan Nu planned to let Miaohan help Sparta take care of it.
But Miaohan was too busy, and she was in charge of Xingtian's army. After Ragnarok, she immediately attacked various sects and took in loose cultivators from all continents.
As for Luo Yan, who was busy with matters in the underworld, he had no time.
As for Yuan Fu and other monks, although they have read poetry and books and can do some paperwork, they have been practicing immortals for hundreds of years and their management will be like that of masters and disciples of the sect.
Even less so with the Qing hermits, who are famous for being undisciplined and unable to take on tasks.
In the end, it was Chi Qing who stood up and stabilized the situation in Rome.
If you think about it carefully, although Chi Qing was just a casual cultivator and was reduced to a slave, he secretly planned and single-handedly planned the Spartan uprising.
"Senior is laughing at this. I once paid homage to Bo, the Chief of the Imperial Palace in the Western Regions of the Jin Dynasty. I am determined to be a great minister and help the country. It is not my original intention to become a Taoist and become an immortal..."
Chi Qing stood up and held up his hands, with a bitter look on his lips.
"Oh?" Yan Nu's eyes lit up. The last person he heard wanted to help She Ji was Miao Han.
And among the group of monks, there is not even one of them. After all, he has cut off his mortal fire and is an outsider from now on.
Hoping to find people who care about the world among practitioners is like looking for beautiful jade in a mass grave!
"Do you want to help the country?"
Chi Qing said solemnly: "Although I am from a humble family of the ninth grade, I still have the ambition to become a successful person."
"I have been studying for twenty years, and for no other reason than to one day help the Jin Dynasty to help the country, clear up this turbid world, and create a peaceful and prosperous age with clear seas and clear rivers, and a bright and prosperous world."
Hearing about the peaceful and prosperous age, Yan Nu smiled crookedly.
Among the immortals who came to be a master, there was no Chi Qing who could make him happy.
What does it mean to be a member of the same camp? Although Xingtian is powerful, his goal is to destroy the destiny of heaven, not to achieve peace.
Xingtian is only a part of the Taiping Road. When Miaohan first told the Immortal Emperor Nitian's strategy, he said that this was only the first step. It was the first step to have this environment, and to implement it accurately on the Taiping Road, we still need to explore it from top to bottom.
He said he was asking for help, but in fact, Miaohan was the only one thinking silently.
The way of others does not ultimately fall on how to manage peace. All those who punish the sky only want to overthrow that day.
"Peace is good! Brother! I just want peace in the world! Don't call me senior, we will be brothers from now on!"
Yan Nu grabbed his shoulders and laughed happily. Even though Chi Qing's strength was low and he was inconspicuous among Xingtian's forces, it made him feel as precious as gold.
Chi Qing was shocked and said quickly: "I don't dare to take it. I don't dare to take it. Have you ever dared to call yourself a brother?"
"What senior! I'm only sixteen years old! How old are you?" Yan Nu said with a smile.
"What! You're sixteen years old?!" Chi Qing's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
Yan Nu is powerful in the cultivation world, and his strength is astonishing. He doesn't look like he is sixteen years old anymore!
The corners of Chi Qing's mouth twitched and he said, "I'm... thirty-five."
"If you aspire to peace, you are my brother. I will call you Brother Chi from now on." Yan Nu grinned.
Chi Qing said with shame: "We, the scholars, should cultivate our moral integrity, regulate our families, govern the country, and bring peace to the world..."
"Then why did you become an immortal? Are you living overseas as a slave?" Yan Nu asked curiously.
Chi Qing looked sad: "I studied hard since I was a child, and I studied everywhere and visited famous teachers. Later, because I was proficient in barbarian languages, I was recommended to be an official in the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions. I worked hard, but from the beginning to the end, I didn't know that I had immortal bones...
…”
"Fifteen years ago, the Qiangqu clan conquered Zhangye. Since then, the Western Regions have lost contact with the imperial court. I escaped from the chaos and was displaced. I only wanted to return home."
"However, the Qiangqu clan dominates the Western Region, so I had no choice but to take a detour through the desert, and in the end I almost died of thirst..."
"When I was about to die, a practitioner passed by, found me, and gave me food and water, so I survived."
Shen Leling sighed with emotion: "What a good fate. He must have seen that you have immortal bones and wants to accept you as his disciple, right?"
Feng Junyou couldn't help but said: "I also know the deserts in the Western Regions. You are so brave. You dare to cross the desert alone."
"If it hadn't been for this unexpected encounter, I would have died."
Chi Qing nodded and said: "That's right, so I am still grateful to that monk for saving my life. It was also at that time that I knew that I had immortal bones. He said that I had good qualifications and wanted to accept me as a disciple and practice with him."
"But I am determined to help the country and want to return to the Central Plains. How can I want to follow him?"
"He tried to persuade me no matter what, but I refused. I just thanked him for saving my life and begged him to send me to Yumen Pass."
"The benefactor walked away in anger."
Shen Leling was surprised and said: "We were in the desert at that time. If he left, you would definitely die, so why not just pretend to agree to him? Survive first, why are you so stubborn?"
Chi Qing shook his head: "He saved my life, how could I lie to him?"
"I also thought I was going to die. A few days after he left, I still headed towards the Central Plains, and eventually fell asleep from exhaustion in the desert."
"I didn't expect to wake up again and see food, water, and a scroll of Taoism."
Yan Nu smiled and said, "So he didn't leave?"
Shen Leling said: "I think he said it on purpose to see if Chi Qing would regret it. He never thought that Chi Qing would head towards the Central Plains until he fainted and died, and then gave up, but he still left Taoist scriptures and water to help him.
Leave the desert."
Feng Junyou stroked his palm and said, "I'm afraid he is really a master. If you follow him, you will definitely have a great opportunity."
Chi Qing pursed his lips and said, "It's fate or not. I wanted to go back to the Central Plains and successfully walked out of the desert. Unexpectedly, I encountered bandits again."
"I was captured, suffered all the humiliation, wandered all the way west, changed hands several times, and was sold to Rome..."
"It was on this road that I studied Taoism on my own in order to escape and embarked on the path of spiritual practice. The Taoism is very comprehensive. In addition to many magic spells, it also describes the art of war and strategy, the scholarship of various schools of thought, and overseas experiences. The content is complex. Come to think of it,
It is the essence of that monk’s life.”
"After I became a little successful, I was about to run away. However, the slave owners in Rome, possessing divine chains, imprisoned me until today. I have been away from the Central Plains for fifteen years."
Yan Nu sighed, Chi Qing was really unlucky.
No wonder that as a cultivator of immortality, he only wanted to help the country. He was forced to cultivate immortality and wanted to return to the Central Plains from the beginning to the end.
"If you want to go back to the Central Plains, I'll take you back."
"However, in human affairs, the interference of heaven is the most serious."
"We will unite as one to defeat those immortals and gods. As long as we are strong, there is nothing Heaven can do to me."
"But if the general trend of the world is reversed, it will only get worse. All living beings will be devastated, the sky will collapse, and the world will eventually be destroyed. Earth, Feng, Shui, Fire, etc. will be re-refined."
Yan Nu explained the reason why the sky was first leveled, and then the world was leveled.
Chi Qing frowned: "I didn't expect destiny to be such a substantial thing. In the books I read, it has always been emphasized that the human heart is destiny."
"Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world..."
Yan Nu said straightforwardly: "That's it! What kind of destiny do you want?"
Chi Qing raised his head and looked at Yan Nu: "Speaking of the destruction of the world, Rome established a new religion and also mentioned a 'Great Judgment Day'."
"Protestant?"
Seeing that Yan Nu was unclear, Chi Qing quickly explained the dramatic changes in Rome in the past ten days.
"What? The belief in the gods has been abandoned?"
Yan Nu thinks this is a good thing. Anyway, the Roman pantheon is gone, so it’s okay if everyone doesn’t believe it.
As for the Heaven-defying gods under his command now, they are actually another pantheon of gods, relying on the beliefs of the Heaven-defying sect. In Christian terms, they are all devils.
Moreover, all the expenses in the underworld do not rely on human faith. They are all provided by Yan Nu with divine power. He simply has everything he needs.
Shuntian's Roman pantheon is dying out, but Yannu has backed up everything. He is Daozang, and the demise of others has nothing to do with him.
However, Rome changed its religion again, skipping the gods and directly believing in God, the way of heaven.
This is an obvious general trend.
