Celestial Immortal Chapter 948

  Chapter 948 One Hundred Thousand Banners Kill Yama

   One hundred thousand soldiers

  Mr. Mingjing was startled when he first heard this. It was the first time he heard such a bold and reckless person dare to ask for 100,000 soldiers in front of him.

  In fact, as a prince, he was cultivating confidantes and promoting talents in the army. He had discussed with Yulou Zhenren and Yuxuzi back then, intending to let Chu Chen, who had inherited the military tradition, join the army and become a commander in the army, leading the troops to fight.

   It's just that Chu Chen's ambition is not here, so he didn't force it.

  At this meeting, Mr. Ming Jing was quite surprised that the old matter was brought up again.

   Not to mention, Chu Chen didn't intend to command an army of 100,000, but "supported 100,000 troops".

  The two are "totally different". Those who command 100,000 soldiers are imperial soldiers and horses, and are under the supervision of the Celestial Court, while "supporting 100,000 soldiers" is to support their own private soldiers.

  Sitting on one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and it is a frontier land, it definitely has the ambition of a separate party.

  If it is an ordinary ruler and minister, after hearing this, he will immediately fly into a rage and fly into a rage.

  However, Mr. Ming Jing is obviously not an ordinary emperor, and he also knows Chu Chen. After being slightly surprised, he looked at Chu Chen, guessed something, and said:

   "Ling Xiao, do you want to raise one hundred thousand ghost soldiers and generals?"

  Mr. Ming Jing knows Chu Chen quite well, he knows that he has learned the Guigu military art, and he has extraordinary attainments in training soldiers and generals, and he is supernatural in soldiers and horses.

   "Mr. Wise!"

  Chu Chen cupped his hands, feeling a little uneasy.

   Raising ghost soldiers and ghost generals is two different things from separatist regime, holding heavy soldiers privately.

  Ghosts are not things in the yang world, and they cannot affect the fate of the country, and cannot shake the rule and luck of the Dachang Dynasty.

  In fact, the Celestial Court does not prohibit mages from raising soldiers and horses. To a certain extent, it also encourages monks who are good at soldiers and horses to raise soldiers and horses to train Yin soldiers and Yin generals, supplementing the strength of the Celestial Dynasty, and reducing the pressure on the gods of the world.

  For example, when Chu Chen was in Xin'an County, Guangping County, the local city **** encouraged him to raise more soldiers and horses, hoping that he could recruit hundreds of soldiers and horses in one go.

   But, recruiting 100,000 soldiers and horses in one go is another matter.

   Not to mention one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, even if you raise ten thousand soldiers and horses privately, you need to get the permission of the Celestial Court. If you raise them privately, it is "conspiracy to commit crimes", and the problem will be serious.

   Of course, this matter is not without precedent.

  Some of the top sects of the immortal sects, the private soldiers of the top gods' mansions, also have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.

  For example, the holy land of military strategists "Shuiliandong, the main branch of Guigu", has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under its command. In addition to the soldiers and horses of the major branches, the number of soldiers and horses has already exceeded 100,000.

  For another example, in the Five Sacred Divine Mansions, it is not uncommon for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to be used in the top-level divine mansions above the third rank in various places.

   In other words, Chu Chen's "request" is not the first of its kind. Many top sects and top forces have precedents of raising 100,000 soldiers and horses.

  The only difference is that his family has a deep background and powerful influence, and the Celestial Court only allowed it to acquiesce, while Chu Chen and Lingshan School are far behind in this respect.

  This is also the reason why Chu Chen said it was an "unfeeling request".

   Sure enough, Mr. Ming Jing saw that this request was true, and shook his head with a smile:

   "This matter is not so simple, it is difficult to handle."

  Chu Chen was taken aback.

  Mr. Ming Jing did not agree, but he did not refuse.

  “Difficult to handle” does not mean impossible.

   This made him see hope, he was overjoyed, and bowed his hands:

   "Also please give advice, sir."

   "If the secret biography of the great day Tathagata you presented is true, it doesn't matter if you are allowed to raise one hundred thousand soldiers and horses!"

  Mr. Ming Jing's words changed to this point, and he said again:

   "It's just that although I am the Son of Heaven and the Supreme Being in the world, I can't settle it with a single word when it comes to military affairs. There are many obstacles in all aspects, so don't have too much hope."

   "Thank you sir for fulfilling!"

  Chu Chen was overjoyed.

  He naturally knows the embarrassment of Mr. Ming Jing. Those top sects and forces with "a hundred thousand soldiers" are all created by various historical factors. His offering of the secret inheritance of the Buddha is enough, but whether it can be achieved is another matter, and there are many resistances in all aspects.

  This is the difficulty of Chu Chen's "request".

  However, now that Mr. Ming Jing has spoken, things are different.

  Mr. Mingjing kept saying that he couldn't "settle it with one word", but Mr. Dabao has been in charge of the artifact for more than ten years. He has long been in control of the court.

  As long as he agrees, the matter will basically be done.

  Of course, no high-ranking person will agree.

   On the one hand, there is room to avoid embarrassing situations when an accident occurs. On the other hand, it shows the difficulty of things and wins people over better.

   "No need to be polite."

  Mr. Ming Jing saw that Chu Chen was very grateful, and now, he may have thought of something, and added:

   "Ling Xiao, as I said earlier, you can raise hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, but in the future, the soldiers and horses cannot be transferred to the Lingshan faction to inherit, and the right to raise soldiers cannot be inherited to future generations. It can only be owned by you alone. You have objections!"

  Chu Chen nodded slightly, quite pleased.

  He wants to raise 100,000 soldiers and horses for his "qualification" to defend the blessed land, not to pass it down from generation to generation for thousands of years like some top forces.

   The "right to raise soldiers" that is not inherited will face much less resistance.

   After all, he will ascend sooner or later, and there will be no hidden dangers. The Celestial Court will not suffer from this exchange.

   "I have no objection."

   "Great kindness!"

  Lingshan faction, Qingchen Dongfu.

   "Wonderful!"

  Chu Chen was playing with [Golden Dragon Token] in his hands, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

  This time, his clone projected tens of thousands of miles into the imperial capital, and met with Mr. Ming Jing, which was very rewarding.

  Exchanged the "Secret True Inheritance of the Great Sun Tathagata" in exchange for the "qualification" to raise 100,000 troops. His first step of raising 100,000 celestial soldiers to guard Dongtian Paradise is considered successful. Next, he can start recruiting and raising soldiers and horses.

   It's hard to say whether this business is profitable or not if it is placed on others, but it must be profitable if it falls on Chu Chen.

  A blessed place in the cave, a chance to become a fairy, is worth all he has.

  In addition, in addition to the "Secret Inheritance of the Great Sun Tathagata", Chu Chen also "sold the stolen goods" to the treasure house of Xianting.

  Mr. Ming Jing summoned the supervisor of Xianting Treasure House and asked the two to negotiate.

  After some haggling, Chu Chen packaged and sold all ten pieces of Buddhist esoteric magic treasures for 20 million jade coins and ten copies of five elements' rare treasures to Xianting.

  In this transaction, he was at a small loss, the transaction price was only 50% of the market price, and the Xianting Treasure House was not paid in one lump sum, but in five years, in batches of jade money, natural materials and earth treasures.

   But, Chu Chen still made the deal very readily.

   After all, this treasure is not easy to "sell stolen goods", and the Xianting Treasure House can eat it in one bite, even if the discount is serious, he is happy to save trouble.

   "Accidentally, I got the limelight again."

  Chu Chen replayed the game, feeling a little bit emotional and looking forward to it.

  This time, he destroyed the [Great King Kong Temple], "showed his merits" in front of Mr. Ming Jing, and showed his magical powers. Although Mr. Ming didn't say anything, he still looked at him differently in the follow-up conversation.

  Besides, he asked for 100,000 soldiers in the follow-up, and to some extent, it also revealed the information that his military skills are proficient and swift.

  He was already "simple in the heart of the emperor", and now his strength is gradually revealed, which is extremely beneficial to his next promotion.

  The matter of promotion in Xianting, a three-year minor transfer, and a five-year major transfer.

   Before I knew it, more than two years had passed.

  Chu Chen is still very hopeful to be transferred to the position of third-rank immortal in the future. He is a majestic elder in the center of the fairy court.

  His promotion to the State Taoist Institute and the State Supervisory Council had great hopes. Now that he has shown his strength, Mr. Ming Jing must be more daring in employing people.

   "The governor of the state and the head of the Demon Academy dare not think about it. It would be quite good to be able to serve as the head of the mountain and the supervisor of the state in a state."

  Chu Chen couldn't help but secretly look forward to it.

  His current meritorious deeds are 8,900, which is far away from 10,000 meritorious deeds, and he is still far away from practicing Lei Zu's top thunder method supernatural power.

  If you can hold the position of a decent immortal, it will be much easier to achieve the goal of 10,000 meritorious deeds.

  For the next two days, Chu Chen was counting the loot and harvest, immersed in small surprises every day.

  As the saying goes, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy together.

   Master Master Xu Ping rejected Chu Chen's donation to the sect and supported the Lingshan School, but well, Chu Chen didn't really eat alone.

  He is currently planning to raise tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. It is indeed a time when he is short of money and treasures, but he is short of big money and not short of small money.

   While counting the treasures, he wandered around the Lingshan School from time to time, and he was quite aggressive, rewarding the disciples of the Lingshan School with large sums of money.

   As long as the disciples of the Lingshan School perform well and have potential, he will reward them with large sums of money, and he will also reward them for making a little progress.

  Whether it is an old Lingshan disciple or a new Lingshan disciple, they are treated equally and all are rewarded.

   After a few days, the entire Lingshan sect disciples were more or less rewarded by Chu Chen, which greatly increased his prestige as the "young master", and everyone praised the young master for his grandeur.

  Of course, apart from the disciples of the Lingshan School, Chu Chen did not forget to respect his ancestors, uncles, masters, uncles and uncles.

  This time, Master Xu Pingdao did not refuse Chu Chen's filial piety.

   After some rewards and filial piety, Chu Chen spent millions of dollars, which is just a drizzle to him right now.

  Chu Chen finally took stock of his gains. All kinds of treasures were added up, including magic weapons sold at a discount to Xianting Treasures. His net worth soared to 140 million jade coins.

   This is an astonishing amount of wealth, and the general sect of the immortal sect can't make up such an astonishing amount.

  However, if this money is used to recruit soldiers, it is nothing.

  Especially high-level soldiers and horses, the value is extremely high.

  Before, Chu Chen used the [Dixin Seal] to go to Yincao Difu to meet Guan Shengdijun's incarnation in Yincao Fengdu [Marshal Fengdulang Lingguan], recruited more than 2,000 elite soldiers from Lord Guan, and spent more than 10 million jade coins.

   To recruit fourth-rank soldiers and horses, one is 10,000 jade coins, and to recruit 100,000 soldiers and horses, that is one billion jade coins.

   The money in Chu Chen's hands seemed like a drop in the bucket, let alone feeding, he couldn't afford to recruit.

   Even if it is a fifth-rank soldier and horse, it will cost five thousand jade coins, and he cannot afford to recruit them.

  Of course, Chu Chen didn't intend to become fat all at once.

  One hundred thousand third-rank and fourth-rank heavenly soldiers cost too much, he dare not even think about it, even for fifth-rank soldiers and horses, he still has some pressure, the best situation is to recruit sixth-rank soldiers and horses.

  Last time, he learned that rank-6 soldiers and horses can be recruited for as little as two thousand jade, which costs much less, so he can afford it.

   After all, the recruitment of soldiers and horses is not fixed. If they are trained well in the future, they are expected to be promoted.

  In the past, Chu Chen urgently needed to improve his strength and didn't want to be distracted from training troops, so he directly recruited fourth-rank soldiers and horses. Now, he has the time to figure it out slowly, and recruiting sixth-rank soldiers and horses is the best choice.

  Besides, Chu Chen didn't plan to recruit 100,000 soldiers at once.

  He has 3,000 elite soldiers and [Heavenly Heart General Summoner], he can temporarily call 6,000 soldiers and horses at present, and he can call up 12,000 soldiers and horses at most in the future, which can be regarded as a boost.

   In other words, he only needs to recruit 85,000 soldiers and horses.

   As for the first phase of recruiting soldiers and horses, he only intends to recruit 40,000 soldiers and horses first, and keep a sum of money in his hand, which will be used to raise soldiers and horses later, so as not to be too stressful.

  After careful calculation, Chu Chen felt that the matter was more interesting, and his mood suddenly became clear.

  Speaking of it, [Qingchendongtian] is certainly a great chance, but in the dark, he and Qingying are under great pressure, not to mention crushing them, at least it makes them a little breathless.

  In the past, no matter what the two faced, they relied on Long Jun and Xianting. They had a backing, and they didn't have so much to worry about.

   Right now, these pressures can only be borne by themselves. Telling the matter to Long Jun and Longling Empress will not help.

  If the two elders intervene forcibly, they may encounter accidents because of it.

  Therefore, Chu Chen, Qingying and his wife chose to bear the burden on their own, and Qingying herself, in order to share the pressure, even chose to go out to practice in order to break through the realm.

   Another two days passed.

  Mr. Ming Jing's secret decree did not exceed Chu Chen's expectation, it came as scheduled, and even came earlier than he imagined.

   "Right now, everything is ready and we only need to wait for the response from the Fengdu Underworld."

   After receiving the imperial decree from the envoy of Xianting, Chu Chen couldn't help being in a good mood.

   One hundred thousand flags beheaded Yama!

  If he holds a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers in his hands, and has achieved success in Taoism, let alone beheading Yama, and guarding the blessed land of the cave, then there will be absolutely no problem.

   "Boom boom boom!"

   "Congratulations brother, congratulations brother!"

  Little Guizi has a great ability to read words and expressions, and he can see that his senior brother is really happy. Although he didn't understand what happened, he came out to congratulate him at the first time.

   And, this time, the little devil looks pitiful, tears are about to come out:

   "Brother, you have rewarded all the disciples of the Lingshan Sect, but you have not rewarded me"

"Hahaha!"

  Seeing the little ghost boy's aggrieved appearance, Chu Chen felt better. He did not reward the little ghost boy, so it was a lesson for him.

  However, he is not a stingy person either. Now that the fire is almost ready, he immediately nodded slightly, took out a cloth bag from his sleeve, and threw it to the little devil:

   "Okay, brother, how can I forget you, here is the top spiritual incense treasured by [Great King Kong Temple], I reward you."

   "Thank you, brother!"

  Little Guizai was overjoyed: "Hee hee hee~ I knew that brother loves me and won't forget me."

   This time, the little ghost boy was completely satisfied, and the grievance in his heart disappeared without a trace. He arched his hands and said auspicious words:

   "Brother is so generous, you are so generous, everything will go well, everything will go well."

   "You brat!"

  Chu Chen smiled helplessly, ignoring the little devil.

  There is no other reason, he faintly sensed it, and took out the bracelet from the Immortal Mansion, and the [Earth Letter Seal] appeared in his hand.

   "There is news from Fengdu Difu."

  Chu Chen couldn't help looking forward to it, and his mind sank.

   Not long after, the smile on his face disappeared, and then he looked depressed, and his eyes fell on the little devil.

  Little Guizi was stunned: "Brother, what do you think I am doing, I haven't made any mistakes recently."

  Chu Chen shook his head and asked, "Did you just wish me all the best?"

  Little Guizai nodded.

   "You crow mouth!"

  Little Ghost Boy: "o((⊙﹏⊙))o"
