Chapter 133: Endless Turmoil

The night passed in a flash, and the next day arrived quietly.

In Luohe City, Li Yanbing looked at the secret report in her hand and felt a headache. She really didn't expect that the rebellion in Liu Prefecture hadn't passed for a few days before changes began to appear in other places.

"The Northern Barbarians are knocking at the pass. This group of jackals who eat people without spitting out bones actually seized the opportunity to prepare to go south!"

"Liang Prefecture probably won't last long. Although the combat effectiveness of the border army is stronger than the government troops, now natural and man-made disasters are constant, and grain and grass are difficult to supply..."

The first message in the secret report concerned the survival of the entire Great Xia Dynasty. The barbarians from the north were cruel, terrifying, and addicted to looting.

Now that it was winter, the northern wilderness was probably covered in ice and snow, which was the time for these barbarians to go south to burn, kill, and loot.

Besides this, there was another message that also attracted Li Yanbing's attention, which was the incense towers that suddenly appeared in various prefectures.

The people of the *Zhenguisi* were not blind, and the *Xiangmiao* made such a big move, so they naturally discovered it.

It was just that the *Xiangmiao*'s current approach seemed to be doing good deeds. After all, distributing money and grain to the common people could not be considered wrong in any way.

"Will the *Xiangmiao* people have such a good heart?"

Seeing the description on the secret report, Li Yanbing couldn't help but sneer. Even raising pigs had to be fattened before killing. Who could be deceived by this kind of thing?

"*Xiangzhu* is born."

However, compared to the situation of the incense towers, these four words were the real bombshell.

This meant that the real troubled times had begun, because every time this saint appeared, there was no exception, and it would open a dark age!

Staring at these four words for a long time, Li Yanbing finally put down the secret report in her hand.

"Incense towers have appeared in Lin Prefecture and Ming Prefecture. I am afraid Jiangzhou will also be infiltrated by the opponent!"

"No, no, that's not right. These two prefectures are adjacent to Jiangzhou, but there are no incense towers. This is already quite abnormal. Could it be because of the senior *Qi Tian Da Sheng* (Great Sage Equal to Heaven)?"

Originally, the *gui* body dharma image of the *Xiangmiao* ancestor appeared in Luohe City, but was directly repelled by the senior *Qi Tian Da Sheng*. Now that the senior *Qi Tian Da Sheng* had become a half-step saint, it was normal for the opponent not to want to provoke him.

"Go and call Chang Sheng!"

However, after thinking carefully, Li Yanbing still ordered the guards outside the door.

"As you command!"

As the guards left, soon a silver-plated divine catcher with a calm face came to Li Yanbing.

"My Lord, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, go to the villages and towns near the borders of Lin Prefecture and Ming Prefecture to see if there are any incense towers. If there are, tear them down directly. If not, pay attention to inquiring about the situation in the surrounding area. If anyone is luring the people to worship some *Wufu Shenzun* (Five Blessings Divine Venerable), take them down directly!"

Li Yanbing looked at him and said without hesitation. She absolutely did not believe that the *Xiangmiao* people would do anything good.

This kind of thing should be done early; the later it is, the more people will be affected, and by then, it will be impossible to solve once it forms a scale.

"Yes, subordinate obeys!"

Hearing this, Chang Sheng immediately understood the meaning. To put it bluntly, it was better to kill by mistake than to let go!

Soon, Chang Sheng led a team of heavy-armored paper dolls to leave Luohe City. With the speed of a *Gui* controller, it wouldn't take long to reach other parts of Jiangzhou.

Now, the entire Jiangzhou was recuperating, and refugees fleeing from other prefectures were being settled in those villages and towns that were empty due to *gui* disasters.

Everywhere in the fields, there were farmers working hard to reclaim wasteland. They ignored the cold temperature of early winter and were still working.

According to the government, the reclaimed wasteland was their own, and there would be no tax for the first three years!

Land was the lifeblood of farmers, and harsh taxes could be fatal.

Now that both of these things belonged to them, it was a great thing for the farmers and common people.

After all, Jiangzhou had a big river, and the water source was relatively sufficient compared to other places. As long as they reclaimed more land, they wouldn't go hungry next year.

In a market town near Ming Prefecture, many people were gathering in tea houses and wine shops to discuss some news they had heard recently.

"Is that *Wufu Shenzun* really that powerful?"

"That's not it. After believing in *Wufu Shenzun*, our family got a lot of white rice and white flour. That's precious stuff. We can't bear to eat it, wait until the New Year to take it out and have a good year!"

"I heard it too, as long as you go to offer incense, you can get money and grain!"

"My goodness, is there such a good thing?"

"I want to go too!"

The same scene happened in many places. Chang Sheng came here and indeed did not see the so-called incense towers, but often heard these statements.

For this reason, he specifically took down several people who were praising *Wufu Shenzun* everywhere. As a result, these were just ordinary people who had received small favors from the incense towers.

"I'm afraid the vast majority of Ming Prefecture believes in this *Wufu Shenzun*!"

Finally, according to the clues, he learned that the vast majority of people in Ming Prefecture had become believers in *Wufu Shenzun*, and he immediately felt a chill.

"Not bad, not bad, now there are twenty-one disciples in total!"

Lin Feng, who was sitting on a recliner sunbathing in the Ding-character graveyard, suddenly opened his eyes and smiled with satisfaction.

The current situation belonged to blooming everywhere, and many corpse-collecting paper dolls had found disciples.

"I can let the corpse-collecting paper dolls teach the disciples some martial arts, um, fist techniques, light-body techniques, stick techniques, and then a breathing and exhaling internal skill."

Lin Feng had plenty of martial arts. If these disciples knew a move or two, not to mention becoming first-class masters in the Jianghu, at least their ability to save their lives when encountering *guiyi* would be stronger.

"For fist techniques, choose *Shaoyang Fist Strength*, which is most suitable for people with masculine energy to learn. For light-body techniques, *Shadowless Trace Steps* is quite good. As for stick techniques, *Ape Demon Stick Technique* is very good."

"Knives and swords are too eye-catching after all. Practicing stick techniques only requires a wooden stick to be a weapon, so there's no need for so much fuss."

"Finally, internal skills, what should I choose?"

"*Nine Turns Swallowing Qi Skill* practices step by step, which can lay a solid foundation and progress is not slow, so choose it!"

Soon, Lin Feng chose the martial arts to be passed down. He was still quite optimistic about those disciples.

This era was not his previous life. As the saying goes, "a teacher for a day is a father for life." The inheritance of master and apprentice in this era was not just a name.

"Wangcai caught something good today!"

At this time, the old lame man came back supporting a hoe, and beside him, Wangcai had a wild chicken in its mouth.

Ever since Lin Feng turned the wasteland behind the graveyard into a vegetable garden, the old lame man basically ran to the vegetable garden every day.

Either watering it, turning the soil, or making the fence more solid.

Anyway, since this old boy had this piece of land, he hadn't stopped, almost sleeping in the field.

"Not bad, not bad, it counts that I didn't raise you in vain!"

Seeing Wangcai's battle results, Lin Feng didn't feel strange. This guy had now caught everything that flew in the sky, swam in the water, and ran on the ground!

"This dog is raised well, many people look at it with envy, hehe, some even asked me if it could be taken to breed!"

The old lame man put the hoe at the foot of the wall, turned his head and said this to Lin Feng, his expression looking very obscene.

"Bah, this guy is only four months old and they want to take it to breed? I think they are crazy, right?"

Lin Feng couldn't help rolling his eyes. In this era, can a dog open a harem if it grows well? ===== CHAPTER 134 =====
