Chapter 7 Ten Directions Tianshi Great Array
It is said that ignorant people are happier, at least this is the case with the current Li family father and son.
If these two people knew that not only were Qi Refiners ambushing them halfway, but also a large group of people went to Lishan Village, I wonder what they would be anxious about.
Now, the father and son are sailing on a yacht borrowed from the Tie family to the west bank of the Fallen Star Lake.
Of course, they were not going to take the boat back to Lishan Village now, but to use another "boat" on the lake on the west bank!
"Mom, when will my father and brother come back?" Li Ziren, who looked very similar to his mother, asked with his big black eyes blinking.
"You have asked many times and said that you will be here tonight!" Wu Suqin said helplessly at her youngest son.
Li Ziren happily circled a few times and shouted, "Oh, I'll see my elder brother today, yes, and daddy."
He turned his head and asked, "Mom, Dad and Big Brother are back, what are you making delicious food?"
His mother said angrily: "You know how to eat. None of them is allowed to eat when they come back. Let's explain the matters over the past few months before they can enter. Especially your elder brother, Sanyi..."
"Mom, brother is the best. Don't be angry with brother!" Li Ziren likes his elder brother the most, so he threw himself into his mother's arms and naively persuaded him.
Wu Bamei held her youngest son and sighed and said, "The old one is like this, the older one is like this, and even the younger one is like this, I don't let me worry about it. I owe you Li family."
At this moment, a somewhat old voice came from the outside: "Madam, are you inside?"
"Old Han? If you have something to do, come in and talk." Of course, Wu Suqin recognized this voice. This was his own foreman and his husband.
Old Han, sweaty, walked in, but did not salute and greet him as usual. Instead, he looked out the door and closed the door carefully.
He came to the somewhat surprised hostess and lowered his voice: "Madam, I think the new batch of short-term workers are a little wrong..."
There is also a small village in a valley not far northwest of Lishan. This village is not like the Lishan Village where the Li family is located, which was enfeoffed by the Immortal Gate. Instead, it is a wild village where some farmers come here to reclaim arable land. Gradually, people live together and naturally formed.
In terms of absolute quantity, there are indeed many such no villages in Central China, but in terms of relative quantity, these self-cultivated farmers have never been the big ones.
The main problem is a cost-effective issue. Although farmers who depend on the sect must hand over some of the harvest as rent to the sect, they are not only protected by the sect and protected from bandits and beasts; they can also get other benefits from the sect, such as good varieties, elixirs and even artificially changed microclimates.
At the same time, their grains are not worried about no one purchasing them. After all, they can only eat enough, and other daily necessities must be purchased with Yuanshi.
Or in other words, it is precisely because of such a no village. The sects who are high above know that if they oppress the lower part too much, their tenants will leave their subordinates, either go to the city to work or become such a nomadic.
Moreover, the grain production in southern states has increased significantly and the prices are not very high. There is no need to ruin your reputation for a little money, so the rent is not too high, and you always leave stuttering for the people below.
Of course, there are villages like Lishan Village where the farmers live together, and the overall atmosphere is more harmonious.
So overall, it’s not that you are desperate. Generally, no farmers are willing to take their families to the wilderness to reclaim their own wasteland.
This village in the northwest of Lishan Mountain is called Yuejia Village by people nearby because its leader's surname is Yue. Of course, this Yue is a ghost soldier from Taiping Road.
Taiping Dao is called religion, but it is actually an organization established for military purposes.
This is best seen from the titles of all levels of the Taoist ranks. Taiping Dao has the fifth level of heaven, earth, human, demon, and ghost. Because this sect regards gods as its master, it uses demons instead of gods.
The bottom of the house is like the Peng family and the Yue Dazhuangtou, both of whom are called ghost soldiers. However, these few of them are low-level missionaries who tend to manage missionary things in the place, and they are civilians, and are not good at fighting. In fact, they generally do not need to fight. The Tieshan Rebellion launched by Peng Modao and his wife was unsuccessful, and indeed they killed the lives of the two. However, some ghost soldiers are real low-level combatants.
Don’t underestimate these pawns. If they really want to launch a blood sacrifice like Peng Siniang, their strength will be no less than that of the innate real people. But after all, these people are still disposable items.
The first level above the ghost soldiers is called the Demon Cao. However, the Demon Cao and the Demon Cao in the same place may not be affiliated with the Ghost soldiers. These people are actually full-time combatants or low-level officers. Not only are they high in their own strength, but they are not so easy to be destroyed even if they are drawn into the body. They can survive at least three or four times.
The one who really manages these two is a lieutenant like Yu Xiaowei. Only when you reach this level can you command missionaries and warriors in one place or several places at the same time. Their strength is naturally stronger, and their own cultivation is basically above the natural level.
"Generals" like Butterfly, they are called generals in the sect and are considered high-level officials of Taipingdao. These generals will not easily appear in the mainland of Central China, and will only be stationed by the church at critical moments. In fact, to put it bluntly, these generals are all possessed by demon gods. It is more accurate to say that they are demon gods rather than humans.
The highest administrator of Taipingdao is called the Heavenly Master. How many Heavenly Masters are there in total? This is a secret question even in the church. Anyway, there must be more than one person or one god. Even the church members below are not able to know where the church headquarters is.
Of course, Taipingdao also has the so-called leader. They respected the son of Donghuang Taiyi, Zhu Wu, and the daughter of Queen Mother of the West, Yao Ji, as honorary leaders. Although Donghuang and Ximu fell in the Battle of Heaven, the legendary descendants of these two were not killed by human cultivators, but instead went abroad. Of course, according to Taipingdao, those demon gods accumulated strength overseas and were always ready to counterattack Zhongzhou, Chixian.
It is worth mentioning that although the Eastern Emperor and the Western Mother are the heads of the banshee gods, they are not husband and wife, and each has their own spouses and descendants.
So for Yue Zhuangtou here, Yu Xiaoshou was the real immediate boss. He stood respectfully behind Yu Xiaoshou and stood on the wall of the village together to watch the busy construction site in front of him.
Yue Guizhu said with some gratitude: "Sir, it's fortunate that you have the manpowers you have, otherwise this Ten Directions Tianshi Formation can be completed on time. If it is really delayed, I will be very damn dead."
"Well, this is also the one who is the one who cares about General Butterfly, and you are doing things below, so I can come here as soon as possible." Captain Yu pointed to the workers on the construction site and lowered his voice slightly, "It seems that the sacrifices needed by this formation are still a little short of."
Yue Guishu took a step forward and whispered: "It's indeed a little worse, but as long as the captain captured half of Dingkou in Lishan Village alive, he could gather a thousand people."
Captain Yu nodded and said, "Have our people been infiltrated?"
Yue Guizhu replied: "I have sent Deli's subordinates to lead Fu Yaocao and others to pretend to be short-term workers to Lishan Village."
Captain Yu continued to ask, "You must arrange the guards around you, so don't let people discover the abnormalities here."
"Sir, please rest assured." Yue Guishu confidently pointed to the surrounding hills and said, "I chose this place to build a village. In addition to being rarely visited, the terrain here is also easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as you defend a few important roads, no one can get in except those flying immortal masters!"
Captain Yu said with satisfaction: "Yue Guizhe, as long as you succeed this time, you will be a great achievement. Don't worry, you will also be in this Ten Directions Tianshi Formation!"
The Yue Guishu was overjoyed when he heard this, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Lord Captain, I dare not take credit..."
At this moment, a believer hurriedly ran up the village wall and reported to Yu Zhengwei: "Sir, Fu Yaocao sent an urgent message with a message talisman!"
"An urgent letter? What did he say?"
"General, this is Hongyan Gorge, which is also the narrowest and most turbulent river section of Miaoshui. It is the most suitable place to ambush ships on the water surface."
General Butterfly observed the terrain of Hongyan Gorge through the gauze curtain on his veil. As her subordinate said, the wonderful water flowed here. Because it passed between two adjacent hills, the river banks on both sides suddenly narrowed, so the water became turbulent.
What is even more thrilling is that there are several reefs exposed to the water in the river.
The river water hit these reefs violently, covering the entire river channel with mist. As the sun shone in the sky, there were several neon lights on the river surface, and with the mist, this Hongyan Gorge is worthy of its name.
When the boats that were traveling against the current from Tieshan, there was no other way to move forward except to drag them with manpower. This is why, the Li family’s grain boats were all loaded, and they were basically empty boats when they returned.
She waved her sleeves and said, "Okay, we'll ambush here!"
This is not the first time that the father and son of the Li family have seen this "ship". It's okay for the son, but I still looked at it with amazement for a long time.
He asked again, "San Jiazi, did you really think of this?"
"Yes, father, Uncle Hu, didn't you tell me? It was indeed what I thought of." Li Zisheng replied.
Li Zhaochang shook his head, sighed, and only he could hear, whispering in a low voice: "I really don't know who you are?"
"Father, what did you say?" asked the boy who didn't hear clearly.
He smiled awkwardly, pointed his hand forward, and changed the topic: "It's nothing... Look, Master Hu and your adopted mother. The classmates have arrived!"
