101: The 101st Palm: He will become the new Zhonglang General (asking for monthly votes)
On the scroll, five large characters boldly declared—"qingshan demon subduing chronicle."
Below it was another line of smaller text: Volume One.
A storybook?
Could it be that Qin Hu had taken out the wrong one? Had he pulled out a storybook he usually read?
However, he didn't say much and turned to the first page.
On the first page, a line of commentary was boldly written: "I have traveled the Jianghu, wandered in all directions, and seen the world ravaged, with demons rampant everywhere. I have seen the world's Weapon Repository, bowing its head and closing its eyes, ignoring the common people, and I have also seen a rustic individual, with a saber held angrily, cleaving through a demonic mountain."
"One day, I passed through a remote county in Shu, named Qingshan County. There, I met a wonderful person. He invited me to drink and eat, and his story was truly magnificent, making me unable to resist. Thus, I took up my brush and ink and wrote this book."
When Xiang Qingtian saw the two words "Qingshan County" later on, his eyebrows raised, and he turned another page.
Indeed, it was like a storybook, in chapter form.
"Chapter One: The Demon Calamity in Yunlu County on the Jiazi Day, Chen Yuan's First Display of Power in Langdang Mountain."
"It is said that a hundred li east of Qingshan County lies Yunlu County. On this day, the Jiazi Day, demon calamities erupted throughout Yunlu County. The county magistrate declared a curfew for the safety of the people and ordered the city sealed. However, the demon calamity only grew more severe, and finally, the common people realized something was wrong and began to flee..."
Chen Yuan!
The protagonist of the story appeared!
Xiang Qingtian's eyes suddenly glowed with intense light, his gaze like a torch, and the scroll in his hand rapidly flipped through his fingers.
During this time, Qin Hu couldn't help but look up.
Seeing that this Zhonglang General was reading very seriously, he couldn't help but recall the origin of this storybook.
In Qingshan County, wasn't there a Storyteller with a goatee?
This "the pacification of demons" was compiled by him.
This Storyteller compiled everything he saw and heard in Qingshan County into the book, and the protagonist of the story was precisely Chen Yuan.
The other party even compiled this book into volumes and circulated it among the people of Qingshan County. At that time, Qin Hu encountered it during his patrol of Qingshan County and found it quite interesting, so he bought a copy.
He read it, and the stories within were largely accurate. He originally intended to buy it to tell Chen brother as an interesting anecdote, but he had too many things to do and forgot about it.
At this moment, with the Heavenly Commander asking, he certainly couldn't explain it clearly in a short time, so this storybook came in handy!
Meanwhile, Xiang Qingtian quickly learned about the events in Qingshan County from this "the pacification of demons," or more precisely, he learned about an obscure individual under his Fushi: Chen Yuan.
From the demon calamity caused by the Demonic Cult in Yunlu County and Chen Yuan's intervention, to Tiger Leaping Gorge where Chen Yuan transformed into a mountain lord, playing tricks on the red goat and the bull demon, then to the subsequent killing of the two Demonic Cult envoys who pursued him, followed by the collective unconsciousness of the people of Qingshan County whose Divine Souls were drawn into a dangerous place, Chen Yuan's knocking on the Heavenly Gate to rescue them, closely followed by the Demonic Cult army's siege, Chen Yuan's divine intervention, fighting the Azure Dragon Dao soldiers, and defeating the Demonic Cult.
The story ended abruptly here.
The entire book had thirty-six chapters. Xiang Qingtian finished reading it quickly in just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, and he still felt a lingering sense of unfulfillment.
The person who wrote the book seemed to have good writing skills, and the story within was even more intricate and tumultuous, with a certain grandeur.
Closing the book, Xiang Qingtian's eyes surged with emotion, feeling that the story wasn't over, and quickly asked Qin Hu,
"What happened next!"
Qin Hu knew what the Zhonglang General was asking and quickly replied, "After the Demonic Cult's Dao soldiers failed in their siege, the Demonic Cult's Qinglong Venerable personally led his troops. The vanguard he sent was captured by Chen School Commandant, who obtained intelligence about the approaching Demonic Cult army. Subsequently, Chen School Commandant decisively acted, single-handedly intercepting the enemy over four hundred li away, personally severing one of the Demonic Cult's Azure Dragon's Dragon claws. Afterward, while preparing for battle, he dispatched this humble subordinate to come to the Fu Gate to request the Fushi's decision."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Qingtian's eyes immediately sparkled, and he couldn't help but let out a loud laugh,
"Good!"
"Courageous, resourceful, and brave!"
"No wonder that Azure Dragon lost a claw and was forced to use his trump card."
"The timing created by this person was perfect. Not only did This General bind together several disunited individuals, but it also caused the Demonic Cult's Four Symbols to suffer a great loss."
"For my Fushi to have such a figure emerge is a blessing for my Fushi, and also a blessing for the tens of thousands of people of Baidi City!"
Saying that, he shouted loudly,
"Someone, issue the order!"
"This humble subordinate is here!" Behind him, the Garrison Commandant responded.
Xiang Qingtian's eyes blazed with heroic spirit, and he rolled up the scroll in his hand,
"The hearts of the people throughout Fu City are now wavering, filled with anxiety from the disturbance of the Demonic Cult, and there are even those with ulterior motives watching from the sidelines. This General orders that this book be printed and distributed, so that those people know that my Fushi's thunderous might is still present, and also to let the hundreds of thousands of people of Baidi City know that the land outside the pass has not completely fallen, and that my Sky Patrol Division is still lighting sparks and fighting against those beasts!"
Xiang Qingtian's voice resonated, and his eyes burned with fire.
His order was not baseless.
At present, the entire Baidi City desperately needed such a person to step forward and boost morale.
The land outside the pass had fallen, lives were ruined, and countless refugees wept and wailed.
Everyone was worried that the Heavenly Gate would be breached by the Demonic Cult, living in constant unease.
And Chen Yuan's appearance led to the opportunity of today. The opportune timing, favorable terrain, and human unity, all interlinked, brought a glimmer of hope to the originally grim situation!
"This humble subordinate obeys!"
The Garrison Commandant took the scroll, his voice stern.
But his leopard-like eyes, fixed on the qingshan demon subduing chronicle in his hand, felt as if claws were scratching at his heart.
He had never seen This General so joyful.
Who exactly was this Chen Yuan?
He suppressed his curiosity for now, turned, and led his men away.
At this moment, Qin Hu remembered the Banshan Tiger Talisman entrusted to him by Chen Yuan, as well as the tasks he needed to complete, and his expression slightly changed.
That Banshan Tiger Talisman, in order to cover his breakthrough of the Demonic Cult's blockade, had completely shattered during the fight with the Demonic Cult's Azure Dragon.
"This General, this humble subordinate has one more matter concerning Chen School Commandant!"
Xiang Qingtian immediately became attentive,
"Speak!"
Qin Hu then explained the other matter Chen Yuan had entrusted to him.
"Chen School Commandant asked Old Qin to bring his Tiger Talisman and also wanted to inquire if there were any Geng Metal items in the Fushi's Weapon Repository."
"He said he wanted to use the points from his Tiger Talisman to exchange for such an item."
"But just now, Chen School Commandant's Tiger Talisman shattered to cover me, This General, what do you think?"
Upon hearing the four words "Geng Metal item," Xiang Qingtian's expression slightly changed.
That was a Heaven And Earth Treasure used to condense Dao soldiers.
Could it be that this person had already touched upon this threshold?
No, according to the book, Chen Yuan had only recently knocked open the Heavenly Gate. It seems he was making preparations in advance.
This was a good thing.
He looked at Qin Hu and smiled,
"If this Tiger Talisman shattered, then so be it. It no longer suits him. This General will soon report to the Dao Fu Division."
"It is estimated that soon, he will become a new Zhonglang General!"
"And the Dao Fu Division will certainly not be stingy with that Geng Metal item!"
"Haha!"
Hearing this, two chapters together, asking for monthly votes. Today's monthly votes are a bit low, so I'm asking for some. Caizi bows in gratitude.
