Supporting the younger generations

Li Fan knew that he had no such thing as a bastard's spirit.

However, he had seen the experience of these Danxue Mountain guards before. He knew that they were besieged by a group of monsters, fled all the way, lost the important place of Phoenix Nest, and were executed according to military law. Now that they are desperate and want to seek refuge under the Mozhu Mountain to survive, it is not possible.

Accident.

Of course, he was still a little curious, "What kind of treatment will the Nangong family give you?"

Chang Jian replied, "One hundred and eighty guan of money and three hundred and sixty shi of rice per year..."

Li Fan was stunned, "Oh, it seems like a lot."

It's quite a lot. When you are a soldier, you have no place to spend money. There are looting and military merit rewards, not to mention the rice is given directly. When he was using the golden elixir, he only had ten guans a month...

Chang Jian smiled bitterly, "We handed it over to the Nangong family."

"What??"

"We have been the military household of the Nangong family for generations. We have to cultivate land and pay taxes to support ourselves. If we owe taxes and pay, we have to use military merits and deeds to offset the debt. I will ask the superiors for a loan."

"According to the old rules of the Suwei Immortal Army, although our military households pay taxes and serve, the Immortal Army also has armor-arming techniques, foundation-building elixirs, etc., which are distributed based on military merit and qualifications. Therefore, it is okay for a village to work together to support a few Immortal Soldiers as backers.

Barely feasible..."

"But now the harvest is getting worse every year, the Shen Gang money is not worth much, and the foundation-building elixirs for the hair are often insufficient, and there are not so many military merits. You have to bribe the superiors to get the ordnance!"

"In the past, you could still become an immortal by working for the Immortal Palace, but now this road has long been blocked! Everything costs money! Pills cost money! Military achievements cost money! Promotion costs money! Even those damaged by daily training

Armor and weapons must be paid for and returned to the military commander!"

"It's getting more and more outrageous! I haven't paid my salary for ten years! I haven't received the subsidy for guarding southern Xinjiang for a long time! I work as a soldier for the Nangong family, but I owe the Nangong family thousands of dollars every year.

!”

"In the past, we could kill some monsters, steal some phoenix feathers and sell them to merchants, and give some heads to the captain to support us. But recently, we are not even allowed to kill monsters! It's a joke! Why should I come to the south if I don't kill monsters! I

If I don’t kill it, they will kill me too!”

Speaking of the Nangong family, the immortal soldiers were really complaining and angry. Every word you said to me made them want to spit out their shit.

Li Fan was stunned when he heard it, but after asking carefully, he understood it.

In the final analysis, the Nangong Clan is still an old-school foreign vassal immortal army. The military system is not much different from the Suwei Army. They are ordinary people who farm the land for the immortal palace. The immortals select qualified people from their subjects and train them into heavenly soldiers and generals.

The promotion in the Immortal Army back then had the characteristics of Xuanmen merit-based selection and divine religion discussion of merit. It could also be regarded as a formal promotion channel from mortal to immortal.

But the problem is, as the demon clan was expelled and killed, and the Immortal Palace became peaceful for a long time, this channel was naturally cut off.

The Suwei of the Central Plains relied on their military exploits and accumulation to quickly become a clan. The land has been divided up by these immortal cultivating families, and normal taxes have long been unable to be collected. Only by selling official titles at clearly marked prices can the Sanyuan court maintain normal expenditures.

Operation.

Oh, you want to be the hereditary school captain, okay, pay the money. Oh, you want to be the guardian of the Immortal Palace, okay, pay the money. Oh, you want to upgrade the Divine Infant Pill, right, okay,

Pay money.

So now the Twelve Kingdoms of Immortal Palace play like this, and the Nangong family has not done anything particularly excessive. They are just normal Suwei warlords. Maybe ambitious people like Nangong Immortal King, in order to organize the rebels, use internal techniques

Ah, the elixirs are still cheap!

But the problem is that these subjects of the Nangong family really have no money!

Who are these people in Sanyuan? They have followed the Immortal Lord and reaped the dividends for thousands of years, okay! A few external elixirs are nothing! Who is not a lot of magical skills, secrets, family treasures and private soldiers! Fighting with a family

It’s all just a servant, you don’t even have to go by yourself!

Who are these people from Liguo? They are said to be foreign vassal troops, but they are all poor people who have been occupied by land and driven out of the Central Plains to open up wasteland! It is already miserable enough to fight for land and farmland with monsters and beasts in the deep mountains and old forests! They also have to pay

Protection fee! You have to perform military service! No military pay! You can’t let anyone live anymore!

Of course, the Nangong family should not be so stupid. Judging from the size of the existing immortal army with a large number of golden elixirs and Yuanying, the strength of the Nangong family at that time was probably indeed able to support the strongest army among the eight lords.

Not quite yet.

Considering that what they were facing at that time was the Immortal Palace that had been ravaged one after another by various forces such as Xuanmen, Divine Sect, Northern Expeditionary Army, Luo Feng Army, Luo Sect, and Black Lotus Sect, it was impossible to

Fortunately, when the Nangong family rebelled, they did have a slim chance of winning.

But the problem is that the Nangong family still can't beat this kind of opponent. They lose in one try. Who can blame them...

After the Guanzhu took Mozhushan to make the cut, and even lost the titles of General Zhennan and Lizhou Mu, Nangong's economy must have suffered a huge deficit, but for the survival of the family, it was necessary to maintain a large army to protect itself.

In the past, they were still pretending to be big-tailed wolves, but recently the Nangong family has also begun to use troops against the Xun and Kun countries. It must be that the internal situation is indeed very tight. The soldiers and horses on the Shiwandashan side were directly abandoned, which is understandable.

Moreover, Li Fan felt that there was no need to look rubbish at everyone. Compared with the Central Plains, the quality of the Nangong family's immortal soldiers was at the normal level, not much worse. After all, they also have the qualifications to practice seriously.

He was just selected to join the army. After all, he was a veteran who had guarded southern Xinjiang for many years.

The immortal soldiers at the bottom are the most sensitive to lack of food and pay, and they probably don't have much loyalty to the Nangong family's weirdos, let alone some of them are so mean and considerate of the Nangong family's use of gods worth tens of thousands of gold.

The Yingdan and Jindan level armor weapons are cheap and can be given to you on credit for a few thousand dollars, right?

So Li Fan raised his hand to comfort the immortal soldiers who were so excited that they were about to cry.

"The Nangong family is despicable and rebellious! I, Mo Zhushan, have never been ashamed of these rebellious officials and traitors! We only concluded a no-war agreement with them to avoid the loss of life. Since you can't survive anymore, and you are willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light, I will not cut off your way of life.

.

I can accommodate you temporarily in Lingqiu Mountain. If you give up your military membership of the Nangong family, Mozhu Mountain will naturally have a place for you.

But what you mean is that you disdain to practice with the people, and you still want to be treated like a disciple of Mozhu Mountain, right?

But to be the steward of my Moshan Li family, your current skills are not enough..."

Chang Jian and the others were seen through by Li Fan and did not dare to mess around in front of such a vicious person. They quickly stopped complaining and recommended themselves,

"I have been fighting against the monster clan in Danxue Mountain all year round. I have made many military exploits. If I haven't killed any monster in the village, I am an old opponent!

It’s just that I can’t move up because I don’t have the money to gain military merit, and I can’t get the Divine Infant Pill breakthrough!

Mozhu Mountain wants to destroy the mountain and cut down the temple, and we are willing to be the vanguard. We can also help train these refugees. We are also familiar with the method of battle formation and marching! If Guishan suppresses the south in the future and attacks the north, we will also

I am willing to win the hearts of the mountain master!"

In order to hug their thighs, these people almost had "I want to lead the way! Let me lead the way!" engraved on their faces.

Li Fan shook his head and smiled, "I don't lack your fighting power, and I don't want to seize the Nangong family's territory. I just want to show everyone a new way. If you want to come, just follow me.

But I’m going to start with my ugly words. You are all veterans. I guess if you follow Nangong’s banner and work for the tiger, you are greedy for life and afraid of death, see gains and forget justice, and are afraid of danger and hardship, your Taoist heart has long been in a mess.

Now if you convert to my path, I think you will have a narrow escape from death. If you don't have the consciousness to commit suicide, it is better to abandon your armor and become a grassroots farmer. Anyway, in Mozhu Mountain, there are very few people cultivating the land now, and I will lend you pigs to help you plow the fields.

Woolen cloth."

However, how could Chang Jian's group of immortal soldiers give up their immortal path and go farming? Their reasoning is also very simple. If you follow someone with a big fist, you can be more powerful than a tiger. It doesn't matter if you don't have meat to eat but have soup to drink. Anyway, don't be a poor man and be bullied, so

They all knelt down and did it again,

"I am willing to die for the mountain master!"

They were making such a big fuss that Li Moyun, who looked like a big man, also had some thoughts, so he waved his hand, and a group of homeless commanders and their adopted sons also knelt down and worshiped, "I would like to be the master of the mountain."

Die!"

One by one, they shouted at the top of their lungs, as if the boys in each class were fighting at a school sports meeting, attracting everyone's attention...

Chen Asha and a group of Mozhushan disciples looked at Li Fan with a look like, 'Don't even think about it, we won't do this.'

Li Fan also coughed twice in embarrassment, "Okay, okay, everyone, don't be too polite. This time I encountered a sect disaster in Mozhu Mountain, and I got together with the activities of destroying mountains and temples, and I was entangled with each other. It's exactly

It’s a good opportunity for everyone to change their lives against the odds.

I have already eaten half full, and I had no intention of making any more moves. But I see that all of you are just wine bags and rice bags, useless snacks, and cannot be used for anything. If I really entrust you with the important task of destroying mountains and temples, I won’t even look at it.

The reality is that I really can’t rest assured.

Therefore, I decided to take you and other juniors together to patrol the mountains and brush monsters, and go to Yangjia Mountain for some training. I will see your actual level and accumulate some luck, and then I will teach you in accordance with your aptitude. It doesn’t matter if you go up a few levels.

It's too fast.

Now, if anyone is willing to go out with me to slay monsters, they can assemble as a team outside the formation. If they don’t want to take risks, they can stay in Zhonggu and guard the dojo."

So Li Fan waved his hand to send everyone away to prepare for the expedition, turned around and handed Zhonggu's formation flag to Fu Ling, and gave her some instructions on how to open and close the Zhonggu formation.

After all, a key place like Zhonggu has been besieged by a group of monsters for more than a day or two. The magic circle arranged by Huang Zhenren has been polished for many years. It has been tested and repaired for a long time. There are several sets of spare spiritual magic weapons to supply the big array.

There are also sixty-four variations, which can trap and kill four at the same time.

Transforming the God Demon King, the opponent's tens of thousands of demon soldiers have been fighting for a long time, and they are too cautious to dare to invade rashly. This also shows how powerful this formation is. In fact, there is no need to have a real person to guard it at all. Send a disciple of the golden elixir realm to operate it.

You can defend it with the help of the formation that has been honed over many years.

It's a pity that although Poria is good at business and logistics, her qualifications are still a little bit behind. In a hurry, she can only remember how to follow the steps step by step and recite the incantation, open and close the formation. While fighting, she can calculate based on the opponent's situation.

Forget about advanced gameplay such as changing formations. The level of Xuanmen disciples is really not something that can be achieved by just being diligent and rote memorizing.

So Li Fan took a look for himself, repaired the formation, and gave Fuling the thunder talisman, sword talisman, and other things that Hengshan had given him for self-defense. He wanted to give guidance on the exercises, but the problem was that Fuling's qualifications were really not good enough.

It's okay, after following Fairy Wangshu for so many years, I'm only at the level of a Zhushan disciple.

On the contrary, Poria was worried about him, and gave him some mind-calming elixirs, and repeatedly told him, "Qingyue, your state is unstable now, so be more careful and don't kill again."

Li Fan also nodded in agreement, "It's okay, sister Fuling, don't worry, I'll just bring the newcomers to gain experience. I'll go back after a while. Let's go!"
