Chapter 460 Such a Handsome God, but He Looks so Unserious! [Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket]

In a small town near Weizhou, Zhang Fei was patrolling on horseback.

He had just taken this place without any effort. He found that most of the residents were Han people, and only a few were herdsmen.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the army, both herdsmen and Han people were very enthusiastic. They not only ran and cheered to welcome them, but also took the initiative to take out their food from their homes to entertain the army.

The people of Qilin Village, who were originally prepared to kill, were a little unresponsive.

How did a warm-hearted activity turn into a welcoming of the king's army?

Since the people cooperated, Zhang Fei took the opportunity to convene a town-wide complaint meeting. According to everyone's feedback, he dug out several bullies and handled all the unjust, false and wrong cases in the town in recent years.

In the original work of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", although Zhang Fei was a rough man, he had been a governor and governed the local area, so he had no problem handling some cases.

By handling these cases, he also got to know the general situation of this town.

This is a town where farmers and nomads live together. Such places can be seen everywhere in Weizhou. Many herdsmen can speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, and perform Chinese rituals. This is a typical case of herdsmen being assimilated to the Han people.

In history, this situation is actually very common. When there are more Han people, they will assimilate the surrounding ethnic minorities. When there are more ethnic minorities, the Han people will be assimilated.

This is almost the case at the borders of all dynasties.

For example, Gao Huan, a famous pretty boy in the Southern and Northern Dynasties who founded the Northern Qi Dynasty, was a typical Han Xianbei assimilation. He even gave himself a Xianbei name of He Liuhun.

After Zhang Fei convened a grievance meeting, he executed several bullies, and then reappointed officials here in the name of the Han Dynasty's General of the Northern Expedition. Then he moved out the statue of Zhang Daoling and led the whole town to swear in front of the statue.

Time is urgent, and it is impossible to tell whether the people here are sincere or false, so they can only rely on the power of the gods and change their beliefs.

When everyone swore, Zhang Daoling also appeared from the air and brought blessings to everyone.

Many sick and frostbitten people began to get better under the cover of the sunset glow.

Such a miracle made the herdsmen who were still hesitant suddenly become pious. They not only kowtowed repeatedly, but also hoped to invite Zhang Daoling's statue to worship at home every day.

People are realistic. In the past, when they encountered disasters and diseases, they prayed desperately to Changshengtian, but there was no response at all. However, the gods in the Central Plains were so effective after worshiping once, and they didn't have to sacrifice the few livestock in their homes.

Everyone knew what to choose.

Zhang Fei was not surprised by everyone's choice. When the people sighed that their health had improved, he thought it was the credit of Qiao Daoqing:

"It must be very difficult for the Taoist priest to do such a big illusion?"

Qiao Daoqing bowed respectfully to the sky:

"This is not an illusion, this is Zhang Tianshi himself coming down to earth... I thought the gods here would not care, but I didn't expect him to be there all the time."

After Zhang Daoling appeared, he melted the snow around the town, and then turned into a golden light and disappeared into the sky.

"General, can we build a temple here to commemorate the appearance of Tianshi Zhang?"

An old man of high moral character came over with a cane, and on behalf of the people in the town, he requested to build a temple to commemorate the appearance of Tianshi.

Zhang Fei waved his hand and said:

"Yes, but it can't be too extravagant. The gods in the Central Plains sympathize with the people. There is no need to build a golden statue or pay for land and fertile fields. Just worship sincerely."

Hearing this, the people in the town cheered again, and Qiao Daoqing even took the initiative to help them build the temple.

High in the sky, Master Xuandu saw this scene, turned his head and looked at Dizang and said:

"Buddhism has gone a little too far in this regard."

Dizang hurriedly bowed and said:

"I will report to the Buddha and change some of the doctrines of human faith, clean up the scoundrels, and return Buddhism to a clean place."

Zhen Yuanzi bowed to Zhang Daoling who had just returned from his divine appearance:

"Congratulations to Brother Zhang for adding a new temple and blessed land. With this miracle, it will surely attract countless believers. Congratulations!"

Zhang Daoling Ling quickly returned the greeting:

"Great Immortal Zhenyuan, thank you for your compliment. Even if it is a small temple, we must first worship the goddess... May I ask the great immortal, can I place your statue beside the statue of the goddess?"

When Zhenyuanzi heard this, he was overjoyed:

"Of course I am willing. I have wanted to ask it several times and even secretly went to the statue of Erxian Mountain to see it. If Taoist Zhang can help, I am willing to give you three ginseng fruits!"

Before, he was like a guest, only participating in dinners and fights.

Now that he can have his statue in the temple of Nuwa, it not only greatly increases the collection of faith and thought power, but also means that he has become a member of the goddess's side.

He was so happy that he couldn't help himself. The great master Xuandu beside him was a little anxious:

"Master Zhang, what about me?"

Although Zhenyuanzi didn't have many believers, he at least had the territory of Wuzhuang Temple. We in Xuandu had nothing, and even in the "Taoist Scriptures" it was just a symbol.

If I can take this opportunity to have my own statue in the Nuwa Temple, it will definitely be a great thing.

And I am also the son of Nuwa, and I was the first batch of people to be molded. Now it is only natural for me to stand beside my mother!

Zhang Daoling smiled and waved his whisk, and a statue holding the Tai Chi diagram and the Tiandi Xuanhuang Linglong Tower on his head immediately appeared next to him:

"What do you think, brother?"

Xuandu looked around and put forward his own request:

"Can it be a little younger? This bald head shape is not good enough."

In the description of "The Romance of the Gods", Master Xuandu is a Taoist priest with a shiny forehead, who seems to be suffering from a hair loss crisis.

However, in the world of the book, every time he appears, he appears to be in his thirties, with thick black hair.

Nowadays, if you want to erect a statue of a god, you must pay attention to the image. After all, this represents the image in the minds of believers.

Zhang Daoling did not expect that this creature that had existed for hundreds of millions of years would actually care about this, so he swung the whisk and changed the age of the statue to be younger, probably less than thirty years old.

Archmage Xuandu made the final decision:

"Okay, that's it!"

After Zhang Daoling was confirmed, Zhenyuan was quietly added to the Nuwa Palace in Chaoge City in the Fengshen World, the Five Pecks of Rice Sect General Altar in the Three Kingdoms World, the Erxian Mountain in the Water Margin World, and the Nuwa Temple in Zhending Mansion. The statues of Master Zi and Master Xuandu.

But it is different from what Xuandu imagined. When people go to worship gods, they first worship the empress and the saint, and then worship Zhang Daoling. When they find two more statues of gods, they will subconsciously choose Zhen Yuanzi instead of the handsome one. Xuandu.

"You are so young, and you look like a newcomer at first glance. You are not as safe as the old gods."

"Yes, yes, worshiping gods is the same as seeing a doctor. The young doctor is not very good at first glance, but he is still reliable for his age."

"It doesn't matter if he is young, he is still so handsome. He is not a serious fairy."

"Maybe it's for those young women to worship. Let's say goodbye to other gods."

"..."

Listening to these discussions, Xuandu wanted to spit out blood.

Don't look at my appearance, haven't you seen the black and yellow exquisite tower above my head? Didn't you see the Tai Chi diagram in my hand?

Why do people like to judge people by their appearance so much?

Seeing the constant flow of incense in front of Zhen Yuanzi, and looking at the deserted appearance in front of him, Xuandu wished he could change the statue back to a bald one on the spot.

I always felt old-fashioned in the past, but now I realize that baldness is what adults look like!

The incident in the Nuwa Temple attracted Liu Bei. He respectfully offered incense to the two new gods. Only after looking at the gods did he know they were the Great Immortal Zhenyuan and the Great Master Xuandu.

After offering incense and candles, Fan Rui, who temporarily acted as a temple blessing, asked:

"Uncle Emperor, is this Zhen Yuanzi the ancestor of the Earth Immortals who took away Sun Wukong with one sleeve?"

"Yes, the last time my second and third brothers and I found the Jiutian Xuannv Temple and scolded Xuannv for causing harm to the world, it was this great immortal who took action and sent us to Qilin Village."

At that time, the three brothers were determined to die, and even if they died, they would reprimand Xuannv on the spot and speak out for the world.

The three brothers cursed loudly, and Laoguan even demolished the Xuannv Temple, but in the end they were able to escape and returned to Qilin Village safe and sound.

Later, Liu Bei learned that Immortal Zhenyuan had taken action, and the empress was watching silently.

"Now that Immortal Zhenyuan has appeared in our temple, does it mean that Sun Wukong is coming soon?"

Liu Bei thought for a moment and said:

"It stands to reason that the world of Journey to the West is about to open, but it's hard to say when Sun Wukong will come... But Li Shimin can talk to Li Shimin, the king of Tang Dynasty in Journey to the West."

The origin of the story of Journey to the West is that the Dragon King of Jinghe secretly changed the rainfall in order to make a bet with Yuan Shoucheng, and was beheaded by Wei Zheng.

Before the death of the Dragon King, he begged the palace, and Li Shimin agreed. As a result, Wei Zheng killed the Dragon King in his dream. The Dragon King persisted and attracted Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong to guard the gate. However, Li Shimin was too worried and finally went to the underworld. One day trip.

Li Shimin saw many ghosts who could not be reincarnated, which triggered a series of adventures. During this period, he met Cui Jue, the chief judge in charge of the book of life and death. Lao Cui also gave him twenty years of life.

After returning from the underworld, Li Shimin convened a water and land conference, which led to the plot of Xuanzang opening a forum to give lectures and Guanyin descending to earth for enlightenment.

Liu Bei said:

"According to my guess, the time to open the world in the book should be before setting off to learn the scriptures, and the chaos in the Heavenly Palace has passed. Otherwise, in the five hundred years it took to suppress Sun Wukong, our place would have changed a lot."

After leaving the Nuwa Temple, Liu Bei went to the Jimin Temple opposite to check out the opening of the porridge shed. When he saw a few beggars under ten years old queuing up to receive porridge, Liu Bei frowned and asked:

"Don't all school-age children go to Fengming Academy? What's going on with these children?"

Zhike, who is responsible for external affairs in the temple, said:

"They came from Dingzhou next door. The heavy snow made the people there hard to make ends meet. The price of rice was one per day. Many people couldn't make ends meet, so they fled to our side."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei said:

"When they are full, they will be sent to Fengming Academy."

"According to the order!"

Now Fengming Academy has taken in two to three hundred beggars. They wear new clothes, have hot meals every day, and can learn all kinds of knowledge from Wen Huanzhang, as if they have fallen into a honey pot.

When many children grow up, they put on full clothes for the first time, have shoes for the first time, take a bath for the first time, sit at the dining table for the first time, and eat and drink slowly like a human being.

There is no need to fight, no need to rob, no need to worry about being bullied by adult beggars, and no need to worry about being deceived by a nanny into working as a prostitute in a rich family or as a turtle in a brothel.

They don’t know what happiness is, but they know that their current living conditions are happier than happiness.

Liu Bei patrolled around, rode out of the city, and came to the weapons workshop outside the city.

Nowadays, this place has changed a lot. All kinds of cross-era equipment are dazzling. The emergence of large stamping machines has made the manufacturing of armor easier.

There is no need to thread the armor pieces together with hemp rope or silk thread, and there is no need to constantly remove the finished armor and replace the ropes.

The huge air hammer came down, and a plain steel plate suddenly turned into a breastplate.

After several parts are fastened together with buckles, a pair of light, durable and easy-to-maintain plate armor is completed.

Compared with infantry armor, the protection of plate armor is slightly insufficient, but it is more lightweight. Putting on plate armor, soldiers can still have the strength to kill the enemy even if they have to march ten kilometers.

But if it were a foot soldier, a ten-kilometer rapid march would be life-threatening.

No, it's possible that halfway through the run, the soldiers would collapse on the road, without any strength left.

Seeing Liu Bei, Deng Fei, the director of the weapons workshop, quickly came over to greet him:

"Uncle Emperor, we plan to build a set of armor for General Zilong, is that okay?"

Everyone in the weapons workshop was very happy when they heard that Zhao Yun was coming.

However, Liu Bei did not agree:

"Zilong will stay in the real world for a period of time. There is a blacksmith there who is proficient in armor and weapons. If I guess correctly, sir, I will ask the blacksmith to build a new set of armor equipment for Zilong. You should stop working."

The products produced by Zhao Dahu must be high-quality products. This is a fact recognized by military commanders in several worlds.

Liu Bei felt that instead of letting the weapons workshop spend time on this kind of thing, it would be better to produce more sets of armor for the soldiers, which would better help Zilong.

"How is the production of armored weapons going?"

Deng Fei replied:

"Now we have a three-shift system, with people and machines working continuously. We have built more than 2,000 sets of plate armor, more than 3,000 sets of various bows and crossbows, more than 5,000 various swords, shields, spears and other weapons, and more than 5,000 arrows. Thousands, and more than 5,000 special arrows were produced.”

After hearing these numbers, Liu Bei said:

"These materials are not enough for a big war...continue production, and go to the nearby state capital to exchange for armor and weapons. Be sure to stock up and be prepared."

The Three Kingdoms were afraid of poverty at that time, so Liu Bei is now working hard to prepare supplies.

After Deng Fei accepted the order, Liu Bei returned to Zhending City and ordered the Intelligence Department to publicize Zhending in nearby state capitals so that people who could not survive would come to seek refuge.

Although most people feel that it is difficult to leave their homeland, as long as a small number of people can come, there will be a great addition in terms of human resources.

Liu Bei also ordered Li Ying, who was in charge of money and grain, to purchase more grain, even if the price was high, and he must not be stingy.

While he was busy here, Li Yu was explaining to Yue Fei in the real world:

"After finishing the business in the restaurant, hurry to Zhending Mansion. Once Xuande's charm is revealed, maybe countless people will defect to him. Don't be short of food by then."

"Don't worry, sir, I'll be back in two days."

While the two were chatting, Li Shimin came to the study with his little hands behind his back and an unhappy look on his face:

"Sir, I'm being scolded again!"

Li Yu asked with a smile:

"What's wrong?"

"Dad said that I just ran around like a wild child every day and tried to beat me. My brother immediately started to stir up trouble. He said angrily that I was young and it was normal for me to be playful. If I wanted to beat him, I would beat him. He is the elder brother. I didn't take care of it... My father was just trying to scare me, but after hearing this, he beat me up hard. "

Good guy, why did Li Jiancheng become so drunk?

Yue Fei advised Li Shimin like a big brother:

"There's nothing going on there lately, so don't go out for the time being... Has the wheat harvest been good?"

"It's been a good harvest. Wang Junke and Uncle Wang were so excited that they burst into tears. They never thought that the grain output could be so high. We plan to raise some piglets in the village, and we will also engage in ecological planting in the future."

The excess grain is fed to chickens and pigs, and the pig and chicken manure is used to grow fruit trees or vegetables. People in the village will be more energetic after eating vegetables and fruits.

Li Yu remembered that the little guy had to leave a set of hydrological data and survey equipment a few days ago:

“Can we build a hydropower station?”

"Yes, the flow is not small, enough to build a micro-hydropower station... When we take Taiyuan, we will block the Fen River and build a medium-sized hydropower station, which can drive several factories."

Li Shimin took a milk brick from the refrigerator, sat cross-legged on the sofa and ate it happily.

Li Yu said to him:

"Journey to the West is about to open. Do you have anything to say to Li Shimin over there?"

When little Shimin heard this, he even forgot to eat the milk bricks:

"So fast? Can you send his second brother Qin and Yuchi Gong over here, and I will provide double insurance!"

Good guy, are you planning to let Jinghe Dragon King kill yourself?

Li Yu said:

"It's not necessary. You have enough talents here. Let's go back and think about it. Record some videos or something. When the world opens, let the administrator send it over."

Li Shimin asked curiously while eating milk bricks:

"Who is the administrator?"

"Your sworn brother—Tang Sanzang."

Hearing this name, Li Shimin became interested:

"How about I write Sanzang's customs clearance document when the time comes?"

Yue Fei felt that this guy's thinking was too out-of-the-box, and he actually cared about the customs clearance document:

"What are you going to write?"

"Write this sentence: If you don't let him pass, I will lead my troops and fight him!"

These words reminded Li Yu of Xuanzang's Buddhist pilgrimage in history. When he set out, Xuanzang had met with the leader of the Gaochang Kingdom. Not long after, the Gaochang Kingdom became an integral part of the Tang Dynasty and was destroyed.

Fortunately, Xuanzang's footsteps were fast enough, otherwise he would not be able to keep up with the advancing speed of the national border.

While they were chatting, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu and 5,000 vanguard cavalrymen had already arrived at Fukou Pass in the Three Kingdoms world, ready to take this pass before Xun You's army arrived.

"General Zilong, if you take this pass, you will reach Shexian County. After Shexian County, you will reach the vast Jizhou Plain, and you can go to pick up your family. But Gao Lan led his army to block us, and our attacks have failed repeatedly!"

Dong Zhao fanned the flames as soon as they met, and the honest Zhao Yun was fooled:

"I have heard of Gao Lan's name for a long time. He dared to block the imperial army. Tomorrow morning, Yun will definitely ask him for advice!"
