Chapter Eight Eighteen
But when I heard that this was done to help Murong Yao eliminate his own disaster, Chen Jing naturally could not refuse. He just felt that learning art in the mountains would be difficult, and he was reluctant to leave.
After nightfall, Murong Yao rushed to the Shen family again and bid farewell to the elders of the Shen family. Then Shen Chen sent her to the deep mountains on the second day and worshiped her under the Gui Wuming's disciple.
After Chen Chen returned to the county town, the matter came to an end. Then he learned from his uncle that Zhou Tai learned that he was injured and had been postponing the celebration banquet.
Chen Chen felt that the county magistrate was quite intimate, so he sent someone to the county magistrate's mansion to tell him that his injuries were healed. So on the night of the next day, Zhou Tai held a celebration banquet in the mansion and invited civil and military officials to the table. .
Compared to the tense moments of the first celebration banquet, Chen Chen's status at this banquet was at its peak. The civil servants dared not to show off their strength, and even dared to face the young commander head-on.
On the side of the general, Xiahou Jun looked depressed, but he did not find Chen Chen. The other generals did not dare to target Chen Chen. On the contrary, they showed some admiration.
Half a month later, the Xiahou Army made great contributions to the eradication of Qiandao Village and was promoted to the position of Grand Commander of the State Army.
Nian Feihu was promoted and took the position of Qiuyang County as the commander of the Great Commander. Naturally, Chen Chen also received a letter of commendation from the prefect and general. Although it was just a letter of commendation, its significance was extraordinary.
You should know that generals will receive letters of commendation after making meritorious contributions, but generally these letters are not written by the state officials, but are just written by the official clerk and then stamped with a large seal. The letter is a letter written by the handwritten one Extraordinary reward.
Of course, in addition to handwritten letters, there are also rewards for rewards such as fields, large houses, etc.
However, this is different from the reward Shen Chen should have received. However, in the military's report, it was Xiahou Army who was the commander to command the night attack on Qiandao Village. The troops led by Chen Chen only appeared in the second half of the war. Although Chen Chen made his first contribution to the Helianshui Helianshu, he took the Xiahou Army's overall coordination as the top priority.
However, Chen Chen didn't care about this. What he wanted was to consolidate his status in the county town. In this way, it took more than a year to reach Chen Chen's age eighteen.
For more than a year, Chen Chen's status in Qiuyang County has reached an unshakable point. He captured the Lone Wolf Valley and the Shuilong Village, and made outstanding achievements in the night attack on Qiandao Village. Chen Xuyuanwen The position of the county magistrate and the commander of the county magistrate was under the command of Zheng, and he finally got married to the eldest lady of a famous civil servant in the county town. Therefore, although the Shen family was not very prosperous, their status was unmatched when they were in their first year. No one can stand out.
On the side of the military general, Chen Chen had already gained the morale of the army. Nian Feihu owed Chen Chen a favor in the war, and Kuang Shu knew he would not be able to defeat him, so naturally he would not target Chen Chen, but instead seemed polite everywhere. .
According to the commendation, Chen Chen's military lineup was also expanded, from a 500-plus number to a thousand people. In this way, he became the second only to the infantry among the seven lieutenants in the county city.
The remnants of the bandits and water thieves were originally hit hard after the demise of Qiandao Village, but naturally some ambitious people tried to take the opportunity to expand their territory. However, Chen Chen was in charge here, how could these bandits get what they wanted?
He took his troops and horses every now and then, sometimes he was walking around the west bank of Qujiang, sometimes he walked around the east bank, and sometimes he was sailing on the river. Every time he was elusive and wiped out the remaining forces.
After the battles of all sizes, Qiuyang County ushered in an unprecedented peaceful scene since its establishment. Without the harassment of the bandits and water thieves, the water and land routes were unobstructed. In addition, Qiuyang County has a rich mountain and water resources, so the county town and
The surrounding trade volume has more than ten times in more than a year.
The county was harmonious, trade was rising, and the county bank treasury had a lot of revenue. Zhou Tai naturally had a bright face, and the people in the county also lived and worked in peace. The name of the young commander was spread among the people, becoming a big story.
The weather in July also has a bit of scorching heat for Qiuyang County, located in the western part of the land. Fortunately, there is a long flow of Qu River outside the county. From time to time, a cool breeze blows on your face, which can also be relieved.
Relieve the heat.
As the troops were expanded to 1,000, the Chengnan Military Camp was expanded long ago. Zhou Tai personally ordered the expansion to design drawings by the best-skilled craftsmen in the city, and summoned a large number of workers at all costs. The military camp was built in a short period of time.
It is like a palace community, and its grandeur is even better than the military camp in the north of the city where the Grand Commander lives.
This is Zhou Tai's gift, and it is naturally his selfishness. However, compared to the domineering Xiahou Army, Nian Feihu is much more restrained. One reason is that Shen Chen is here, and he is highly valued by Zhou Tai. Two reason is that he is not only a matter of being able to do so, but also a matter of being respected by Zhou Tai.
The reason why Xiahou Jun dared not take Zhou Tai seriously was that he was born in the Xiahou family, and Nian Feihu naturally had no such a big backer.
On the stone platform in the military camp playground, Shen Chen sat in a bamboo chair and watched the soldiers below the stage practice carefully. After more than a year of training in large and small battles, especially the first five hundred people, they have been completely reborn.
He became a veteran and was quite experienced in marching and fighting. Naturally, many outstanding talents emerged. Shen Chen also selected fifty of them as his guards.
Over the past year, Shen Chen's own martial arts has naturally improved day and night. Since leaving the dying realm, he has once again released the power of Tianyun's strange fire and embarked on the road to taming strange fire.
He endured the power of the strange fire again and again, and ended with the exhaustion of physical energy to the limit. Moreover, he became stronger after each release of the strange fire, so Shen Chen did not dare to slack off at all, and practiced his cultivation hard, and every release he released
It seems like fighting the God of Death, the risks are unpredictable.
After going through a lot of hardships and countless trials, Shen Chen finally gradually mastered the mystery of the strange fire. As long as the release of the strange fire is controlled to a certain extent, the body can completely bear the force of its contraction and will not produce any more moments.
Loss of defense.
During the practice, Shen Chen gradually confirmed the strange things that had indeed happened to him in the crypt of the Death Realm Channel.
Just half a month after the dying world, Shen Chen suddenly found that he had the ability to see a ghost. It was an old man who had just died. He clearly saw that the old man's soul escaped from his body.
The space is twisted and takes the soul away.
When he saw this, Shen Chen was also shocked. Later, he discovered that every time the strange fire reached the end, the moment he restrained was extremely painful, and every time at this moment, a half-hot heat would come from his right eye.
The feeling was as if something was activated, which made the pain suffered by the body weaken a little in an instant.
It seemed as if there was some mysterious power hidden in this eye that could suppress the power of strange fire.
In addition, Chen Chen also found that the power of his right arm was significantly higher than that of his left arm, and it was several times the gap, which reminded him of the situation where two red and black lights penetrated into his right eye and right arm. , I'm afraid it's not an illusion.
Chen Chen took the opportunity to visit Murong Yao and found Gui Buzhi, so he told the matter out. However, Gui Buzhi was confused after checking, so he inferred that the red and black lights were probably extremely pure. Yin Qi attacks because of the appearance of the alien fire.
The ghost did not know that there was no Yin Qi in Chen Chen's body, so it was determined that the Yin Qi had been melted by the strange fire and converted into pure innate Qi, thus allowing Chen Chen to gain special abilities.
This is the most reasonable explanation at the moment, and Chen Chen believed it, after all, there is no explanation other than that. Of course, maybe a possible clue can be found at the bottom of the Death Realm channel, but with his current cultivation level, Going to the Death Realm channel is simply seeking death, so the only half of doubts is temporarily put aside.
Moreover, the newly acquired two powers were obviously a blessing in disguise. Even the soul-searching eyes that were unknown to ghosts had to use spells to gain the ability to see ghosts, but Chen Chen's eyes were more like natural yin and yang eyes, without any need Cast spell.
As for the strange power on the right arm, Chen Chen was even more surprised. This power-based warrior originally emphasized practicing brute force, which made his combat power a little higher than that of several times higher than the strange power of the left arm, and the strange power seemed to be as good as the one. As the cultivation level improves, Chen Chen ordered people to build a battle knife weighing 400 kilograms.
You should know that the swords of ordinary soldiers are only ten or twenty kilograms, but the weapons of military generals are different. There are still hundreds of kilograms in weight. However, at the level of the Duwei, the weapons of three hundred kilograms are already It's considered a downward slightest. After all, it doesn't mean that you can pick up multiple weapons, but that you can use your tricks like flowing water after picking up.
But even though the weight reached 400 kilograms, Chen Chen still felt that it was a bit unpleasant. It was just that building this weapon was already the highest skill of the county craftsmen and could not be demanded, so Chen Chen kept thinking about getting a handy weapon. It's just that there's no right time.
In this year, he did not relax his practice of the Nine Palace Yu Xun Art. He has been lifted to the third level of the Nine-level Heart Method. However, he has been thinking about the jade plaque left by Li Chengfeng. No progress.
Eighteen-year-old Chen Chen is taller than a year ago and has a stronger figure. It seems that he is practicing Tianyu Yiqiu. Chen Chen is more resistant to this hot weather than ordinary people. Although the sun is scorching, there is no drop of sweat left.
Of course, the soldiers trained on the playground are different. Everyone sweats and is sweating, but none of them is slacking off.
Everyone present admired Chen Chen's reputation and joined the army. Chen Chen has always emphasized the importance of military rules, so no one dared to be lazy.
Standing behind Shen Chen was the guard leader he personally selected, named Zheng Haishi.
