Chapter 1349 The trend of recruiting the army
Finally, based on Li Yao's experience from Ou Yezi's memory fragments, barbarian monks who generally come from the barbarians on the edge of civilization often have a bit extreme and sinister personality, with all kinds of strange habits, and without the concern and constraints of famous and upright sects, others are easily unwilling to get into their bad habits.
Playing such a role of "no strangers to be close" also eliminates a lot of concealment.
Li Yao was originally a big expert in disguise. He carefully prepared for this exploration, with various tools and potions, and even directly changed his appearance and body shape from the cellular level. It was not difficult to disguise a marginal figure who disappeared fifty or sixty years ago.
Before he could completely figure out the other party's feet, Li Yao was unwilling to disguise himself as Master Lingjiu himself.
If he is a "public enemy of the cultivation world" and has provoked a person of the God-transforming level, then he will be backfiring.
Therefore, Li Yao had a little conspiracy in his mind.
...
At night.
The narrow and long rift valleys are covered by lush trees. Outside is the blue sky and white sun. When the world is bright, the canyon is gloomy and terrifying, and the sun is dark.
Strangely, at night, two bright moons outside were shining with blue and white, but the soft light penetrated through the leaves like wisps of light smoke, immersing the Rift Valley in a silver-white cloud of smoke.
Li Yao sat in mid-air with his knees on his knees.
The hundred ghosts were pulled by invisible silk threads, sinking and floating in front of him.
Li Yao followed Master Lingjiu's appearance and two white lights radiated from his nostrils, wrapping around the surface of the Hundred Ghosts, gently rubbing them, releasing all the souls of the children imprisoned inside, allowing them to absorb the essence of moonlight and strengthen themselves.
In the past, every time Master Lingjiu summoned them out and allowed them to absorb the essence of moonlight, he would torture them in every way and brutally ravage them to inspire their ferocity and hostility.
Li Yao naturally would not do this. Instead, he had to use his gentle spiritual energy and the bright moonlight to wash away their hostility and ferocity in strands.
This is the time to grind water, which cannot be interrupted every day, and it consumes extremely mind and time, which is not beneficial to Li Yao's own practice.
However, his heart of Tao is like this and the spirit of the Starry Federation is like this. This is their greatest support for fighting the real human empire. Li Yao naturally would not sit idly by and watch these children's souls slowly turn into evil spirits and ignore them.
Hundreds of small souls carefully drilled out of the Hundred Ghost Order, thinking that he would suffer inhuman pain again, but he was lying on the Hundred Ghost Order, pushing and shoving, and he refused to come out quickly.
Li Yao smiled slightly, and strands of warm and water-like spiritual energy lifted them out one by one, immersing them in a warm and hot spiritual spring.
The souls of these children are all a piece of white paper. The joy, anger, sorrow and happiness change very quickly. When they sensed Li Yao's kindness, they immediately cheered and turned into a little bit of green ghost fire, jumping around him, dancing and dancing.
They are all descendants of the natives of the mountains and forests. They are lively and active by nature, like hundreds of little monkeys the size of fingers. They sense that Li Yao had no malice and became more and more bold. They slowly got closer to Li Yao, and finally jumped onto Li Yao.
This one climbed Li Yao's arm, the one holding Li Yao's hair, and a few climbed onto Li Yao's ears. Some people tried to open Li Yao's mouth and crawled in, but they regarded Li Yao's body as a big amusement park.
Children are all forgetful, they are innocent and carefree, but they have forgotten all the inhuman pain they suffered in the past.
Feeling the glory and joy emitted from the souls of these children, a faint wave appeared in Li Yao's heart.
"Three thousand worlds, perhaps society, country, law and civilization are different. Many times, it is impossible to tell which is right and who is wrong."
"However, children who have just been born and have not yet been influenced by society and baptized by civilization may be the same!"
"The ancient cultivators in this world may be very different from the modern monks in the Starry Federation, and there may even be differences between the great way and water and fire."
"But what is the essential difference between these Wuman children born in the mountains and forests and children born in the federal modern hospital?"
"Maybe, they are all the same, they are the future of human civilization!"
Under the clear moonlight as clear as water, on the turbid waves on the river, Li Yao was pondering, feeling and practicing while the play and fighting of one or two hundred little ghosts.
...
Ten days later, he had been dormant in the cave of Master Lingjiu, analyzing the techniques left by Master Lingjiu, and simulating the sound, light and electricity effects that would be released during the use of these magical powers.
At the same time, he also reviewed the many classical magical powers in Ou Yezi's memory and the Refining Heaven Tower.
Afterwards, he refined many magic weapons left by Master Lingjiu and refined several new ancient magic weapons.
Li Yao reflected on his battle with Master Lingjiu, and felt that he had revealed too many traces of moves that did not belong to this era. If he fell into the eyes of those who are interested, he would inevitably reveal some flaws.
For example, the worst possibility is that if there were already scouts from the Expeditionary Force of the Real Human Empire lurking in this world, they might be able to see through his identity.
Therefore, Li Yao decided that in his subsequent exploration, he would never expose the moves and magic weapons he brought from the Federation without any exception, and would honestly use classical magical powers and magic weapons to fight against the enemy.
This exploration is very likely to encounter strong people above the high-level Nascent Soul, so disguise should also be used in an unusual way to slowly change one's appearance from the cellular level.
This is also the meticulous embroidery effort, which took Li Yao half a month.
In the past half a month, of course, he would not miss the traces of the army that had been trying to recruit people. He sent the Xiaolong to search for the traces of the other party crushing in the jungle, and hung behind the other party's butt from both sides.
After more than half a month ago, especially after killing a master of Killing Dan level, the local barbarians seemed to be deeply afraid of the army. Since then, there has been no head-on conflict, but they have turned into small groups and hid in the jungle. They accidentally launched sneak attacks, smashed and killed one or two, and three or five people fled.
This kind of tactic is extremely difficult, and the natural miasma and poisonous fog in the Wuman Mountains made the army miserable. The originally powerful and strong top warriors all became pale and thin, and weak.
However, not all mountain forest witches are against the "King Master".
After half a month of observation, Li Yao gradually discovered that the barbarians in this area were roughly divided into two categories, one of which was to completely eat raw meat and drink blood, cut off hair and tattoo, wear pungent bone rings all over, live in stone caves and tree nests deep in the mountains and forests, hunting for a living.
This type of barbarians has the deepest hostility towards the royal army.
There is also a type of barbarians who live in places with slightly better environments, such as streams and river valleys, and they will also reclaim farmland, plant crops, and live a relatively stable life.
This type of barbarians is relatively civilized, with daily necessities relatively exquisite, and they also know how to use rattan armor to cover up their shameless bodies. There are even concepts similar to "town". In the towns, some "Central Plains people" with appearance and clothing that are the same as those of the king, engaged in work such as ironclad and trade. In a relatively large village, Li Yao even saw a white-haired old scholar who looked like a "Teacher", with more than a dozen barbarian children shaking their heads and shaking their heads.
It seems that there are also concepts of "birth" and "familiar" here, including both savages who are unruly and resist the royal army, as well as obedient people who admire Central Plains culture and obey the rule of the central dynasty.
Sure enough, Li Yao discovered that this trick to attack the army seemed to target the "familiar" cities among the 100,000 mountains.
Whenever I go to a city, although the local natives cannot say that they are "eating a pot of rice and slurry to welcome the king's army", their superficial attitude is quite submissive.
In particular, the Ling recruited the head of the barbarian Jiedan monk "Hei Abi" who was killed more than half a month ago, and after going around the village, the natives in each city were all stunned and looked like earth, and they became increasingly afraid to infringe on the other side.
They kept all the seriously injured in the army for maintenance, and prepared sufficient food, clean water and essential medicines in the jungle. Many barbarians even took the initiative to join the army for the army for maintenance, and all kinds of fancy flags flew around the sky, which made the army's momentum more and more powerful.
The Ling envoy did not disappoint the "expectations" of these natives. Wherever they went, as long as the locals were obedient on the surface, they would bring out some from the camp... In any case, Li Yao's opinion, it seemed like an "executive" thing, in short, it was the imperial court's intention to enthrone the local barbarian king.
The Lord of the Barbarian King, who was granted official positions, was overjoyed and worked harder to prepare supplies and soldiers for the royal army.
This is also a conventional method for many ancient times to cultivate the world and the central dynasty to deal with barbarians.
When recruiting envoys, how do you say the word "recruiting"? It means that the barbarians who are respectful to the court will be "recruited" and incorporated into the court's bureaucratic system. They will be appointed as officials, and then join him to "strike" those disrespectful barbarians.
Taking advantage of the other party's internal conflicts and using barbarians to control barbarians is a masterpiece. Otherwise, how could the Central Plains army, which was not suitable for the local environment, completely pacify the many barbarians who were poor and bad?
Li Yao was not very concerned about the joining of ordinary barbarians in the "King Army".
However, in addition to ordinary barbarian soldiers, as the news of the recruitment of the army deep into the jungle spread, whenever they arrived at a city, many barbarian "strange abilities" surrounded by spiritual energy came to serve.
