Chapter 147: Great Virtuous Teacher

Since Qin Guo became powerful with the help of Shang Yang's reforms, as a neighboring country of Qin, Han Guo did not know how many times it had suffered from Qin's attacks and plunder. In the hearts of ordinary people in Han Guo, the people of Qin were all tigers and wolves, vicious and cruel.

Almost every war initiated by Qin would cause many Han Guo families to be broken and displaced, suffering much pain.

As a result, this time, the Qin army led by Wang Xuan Jian exceeded their expectations.

After the place where they lived was occupied by the Qin army, they all thought that a nightmare awaited them. As a result, not only did the Qin army not harass them, but they even actively provided relief to them.

This drought affected who knows how many people, causing them to fall into a food crisis.

It was said that Qin Guo was also in a severe drought. As a result, not only did the Qin army not actively plunder the little surplus grain in their homes, but they also actively distributed grain to save them from famine.

This behavior could not help but change the views of many lower-class people in Han Guo toward Qin.

It seemed that Qin Guo was not as bad as they had imagined?

Moreover, it was said that the people living on the land previously occupied by Qin lived quite well... Anyway, it would not be worse than the current Han Guo.

If these people were living and working in peace and contentment in Han Guo, and their lives were happy and fulfilling, they would obviously not have such thoughts.

But because of the drought, they could barely survive in their own country. Anyway, there was no situation worse than the current one. When Qin Guo showed them kindness and gave them hope, their perceptions also changed.

The purpose of the army led by Wang Xuan Jian was to destroy Han Guo in one battle. The main task was not to provide relief to disaster victims, so he only took care of the disaster victims when he encountered them.

The specific disaster relief work was the responsibility of the Qin officials who arrived in Han Guo later.

After a conversation between Su Xuan and Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng not only wanted to take this opportunity to destroy Han Guo, but also intended to take advantage of the drought to win the hearts of the people of Han Guo.

Although this move would bring a heavy burden to Qin Guo, which was also in a drought, it would be worth it if they could win the hearts of most of the people in Han Guo.

In addition to the Qin army and subsequent officials coming to provide disaster relief, under Su Xuan's order, the Yin-Yang School also walked out of Lishan and came to Han Guo to participate in the disaster relief work.

The disciples of the Yin-Yang School were proficient in Yin-Yang arts, but in the past, Yin-Yang arts were a means for them to fight and attack the enemy, because during the period of Donghuang Taiyi, he always wanted to surpass the Daoist School, making the Yin-Yang School the head of the various schools of thought. And the simplest way to surpass the Daoist School was for their experts to be stronger than those of the Daoist School.

But that was the Yin-Yang School of the Donghuang Taiyi period. The current Yin-Yang School was controlled by Su Xuan, and the Sect Master called himself the Profound Heaven Dao Lord.

In Su Xuan's view, besides attacking and killing enemies, Yin-Yang arts could actually be used in the daily lives of the people.

Just like this disaster relief.

Water-type Yin-Yang arts could condense water vapor in the air to create clear spring water out of thin air. Fire-type Yin-Yang arts could create flames, although they were not of much use during a drought, they could be used to light fires and boil water. After all, once a disaster occurred, there would be an epidemic. To avoid an epidemic, it was best to avoid drinking raw water and drink more hot water.

As for the rest, Wood-type Yin-Yang arts could quickly urge the growth of plants. When cultivated to the extreme, they could produce autumn orchids on flat ground. Although this would consume a lot of internal energy from the practitioner, at critical moments, they could quickly urge the growth of seeds carried with them to be used as emergency food.

Earth-type Yin-Yang arts were not very useful alone in disaster relief. They could only be used to cooperate with Wood-type Yin-Yang arts, just like Fire-type cooperating with Water-type to boil water, to make the land more fertile, so that the plants urged to grow could mature better.

Relatively speaking, the disciples of the Gold Department of the Yin-Yang School performed the best this time.

The Gold Department was good at alchemy and medicine. Although their attacking methods were average among the five departments, when the drought led to the rampant spread of epidemics, their methods of alchemy and medicine truly saved many people's lives.

Although many Yin-Yang School disciples were very unhappy that Su Xuan asked them to provide disaster relief—after all, they had never done such a thing in the past—they could not resist the order of the Sect Master, so even if they were unhappy, they honestly obeyed.

"Good people! Good people!"

Whenever they saved a place and helped temporarily resolve a crisis there, they could hear such words.

If the Yin-Yang School disciples didn't care at first, thinking they were just completing the orders given by their superiors.

Then, when they heard similar words and similar expressions of gratitude, even the people of the Yin-Yang School could not help but be moved. After all, human hearts were made of flesh. Before joining the Yin-Yang School, many of these disciples were born into poor families; it was only because of the environment within the Yin-Yang School that they were forced to become cold.

In the original work, even the Eastern Lord would have feelings, let alone these ordinary Yin-Yang School disciples.

"So, being thanked is such a feeling!"

Many Yin-Yang School disciples thought so.

After this thought, they said to the people who were grateful to them: "Don't thank us, if you want to thank someone, thank the Great Virtuous Teacher!"

"It was the Great Virtuous Teacher who let us come to help you!"

"Great Virtuous Teacher?"

"That's right, the Great Virtuous Teacher of Qin Guo!"

The people of the Yin-Yang School did not know how many times they had said similar words. Although their number was small, as the places they passed through increased and the number of people they saved increased, gradually, many disaster victims in Han Guo also knew that there was a Great Virtuous Teacher in Qin Guo who sent many capable people to save them from the crisis.

In a village, a pair of master and apprentice passing through here also heard this title.

"Great Virtuous Teacher? Master, this title..." A young girl couldn't help but look at the master beside her, wanting to speak but stopping.

Her master nodded slightly. Since learning about the disaster in Han Guo and upholding the duty of a doctor, she had brought her apprentice, Duanmu Rong, here to provide disaster relief. Having passed through several villages, they had already heard this title several times.

To say they were not curious about this person named Great Virtuous Teacher was obviously impossible.

However, they could be sure of one thing: no matter who this person named Great Virtuous Teacher was, since he sent his disciples to help these disaster victims and save them, he was definitely a good person.
