Bai Xiaowen didn't mention the benefits he gained from participating in the war between the Song and the Mongols. He only talked about the destruction of the country.
Of course, he wasn't lying to Chen Rong. This was because Bai Xiaowen had also lamented the fall of the Song Dynasty in history.
Bai Xiaowen wasn't a nationalist, and he didn't have strong national sentiments. He had enmity towards the Mongol Empire and the Qing Dynasty. Apart from the foreign races entering the Central Plains, he also could not tolerate the massacres of the Han people by them.
In 1207, the population of the Jin Kingdom was 45.81 million. 27 years later, the Mongols destroyed the Jin Kingdom. The population was reduced to 4.75 million, and the mortality rate was 90% (Shang Cheng's Historical Essentials of China). The Jin Kingdom occupied the land of the Northern Song Dynasty. Most of the people living in the Jin Kingdom were Han people.
When the Mongols destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, 200 cities were massacred. The war in Sichuan was the worst. The population was reduced to 4%!
(This figure was calculated by combining the Records of the Yuan Dynasty's Founding Ancestor and Li Xinchuan's Miscellaneous Records of the Court. I won't go into the details.)
It was recorded that the Mongols massacred 200 million people in the world. 60 million of them were killed in the Song and Jin Kingdoms. This was a conservative estimate.
Therefore, fighting against the Mongols and continuing the unification of the Han Kingdom was also Bai Xiaowen's wish. Therefore, he was more persuasive when he persuaded Chen Rong.
Chen Rong thought for a long time and said, "Now I understand why you did this. Lv Wang, I admire your sacrifice and I'm willing to support your dream. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Thank you."
Chen Rong then said, "However, I can't use the power of the entire Shangqing school to help you fight against the Mongols. The elders of Shangqing school won't agree. I can only provide you with my personal help and help you build a resonance transmission array … "
Bai Xiaowen nodded to show that he understood. The Mongols' massacre in the 13th century had just begun. Chen Rong and the elders of Shangqing school couldn't see the future.
In the eyes of these cultivators, self-cultivation, self-improvement, and seeking a higher realm was the ultimate goal. Everything in the mortal world was just a burden and an obstacle.
Chen Rong had made the decision to help Bai Xiaowen out of consideration for their friendship.
…
Three days later, Bai Xiaowen and Chen Rong led several leader-level disciples of the Shangqing school to Black Sky Peak. They found the ruins of the Resonance Transmission Formation built in the Tang territory.
Bai Xiaowen used the source of spirit energy and cooperated with Chen Rong and a few disciples to repair this array formation. He shifted the location of the resonance to the teleportation array of the White Phoenix Territory.
An azure door of light slowly opened. The resonating teleportation array was successfully constructed.
At this moment, Bai Xiaowen also received a notification from the Spiritual Realm's laws. The Spatial Resonance Teleportation Array was activated.
Bai Xiaowen followed the instructions and made some settings for the Resonance Teleportation Array. For example, he could only use the Teleportation Array with the consent of the White Phoenix Territory.
"Is it done?" Chen Rong asked.
"Yes, it went very smoothly," Bai Xiaowen said. Back then, a group of martial artists from the Black Sky Sect could assist the Tang territory in building the teleportation array. What about these professional cultivators from the Shangqing school? Of course, it was easy to repair a small array formation.
"That's good … What are you going to do next?"
Bai Xiaowen said, "I'm going to set up a secret organization to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Great Song government, gather intelligence, and seize power."
"Secret organization … What's the name of the organization? Can you tell me, so that when the disciples of the Shangqing school go out for training, unnecessary conflicts will arise because of misunderstandings? "Chen Rong asked.
"Name …" Bai Xiaowen thought for a moment. "Let's call it the 'Undying Group'."
"…"
Chen Rong was silent for a moment. "Why is it called 'Undying'?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and raised his hand to summon a Ghoul Archer. "Because the members of this organization are all undying 'puppets' that I control."
Strictly speaking, the leaders of the four major clans could no longer be considered as marionettes. They had their own intelligence. But in Shao Ding's world, it was more reasonable to call them puppet demon soldiers.
Chen Rong understood, but still couldn't help but say, "This name is a bit … too straightforward. How about we call it the 'Longevity Sect'? Doesn't undying mean longevity? "
"That's fine too."
Bai Xiaowen, on the other hand, readily accepted.
He felt that Chen Rong's naming skills seemed to be a bit better than his. Longevity Sect sounded like a righteous sect full of immortal aura. Initial favorability + 10.
Chen Rong saw that Bai Xiaowen had accepted her nomination and felt inexplicably happy. She said, "Is there anything else that you need my help with?"
Bai Xiaowen pondered for a moment. "The most important thing in an intelligence organization is to exchange information. Is there a Communication Talisman that can be used for longer distances?"
Bai Xiaowen found the best Communication Talisman in the Shangqing school's "Sect Contribution Exchange List". It could only transmit information within a few hundred miles. It was about the same as the pair of wooden carvings that Chen Rong had given him.
This was obviously not the best Communication Talisman because Chen Rong, who had made this wooden carvings, was only a Level-13 Junior Leader.
Now that Chen Rong had cultivated the "Shang Qing Treasure", she was a Level-15 Rare Overlord, half a step away from King-level. Not to mention other things, her talisman-making skills must have greatly improved, right? Bai Xiaowen speculated very logically.
Sure enough, Chen Rong immediately took out a talisman and a jade scroll and handed them to Bai Xiaowen.
"This is a Thousand Mile Voice Transmission Talisman. It can be used even from a thousand miles away. Each talisman can be used ten times. I made it with reference to the Shang Qing Treasure. In the jade scroll, the method to use the Thousand Mile Voice Transmission Talisman is recorded … "
Without waiting for Bai Xiaowen to thank him, Chen Rong took out a small and delicate paper crane. "If the distance is more than a thousand miles, you'll have to use the 'Flying Crane Messenger'. The advantage of the Flying Crane Messenger is that it can be used for long-distance communication. It can be delivered even if the distance is thousands of miles. Its disadvantage is that its flying speed is average. It can only fly 1,500 miles a day. Each paper crane can only be used once. "
Chen Rong also taught Bai Xiaowen how to use the paper crane.
"Thank you so much. You've helped me a lot."
Bai Xiaowen hurriedly thanked him. The value of these communication methods was immeasurable.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me." Chen Rong suddenly revealed a sly smile. "These are not free. Your sect contribution points will be deducted. So … Elder Lu, how many 'Thousand Mile Voice Transmission Talismans' and 'Flying Crane Messenger' do you want? Your sect contribution points don't seem to be enough. "
Bai Xiaowen: "…"
Of course, he wanted as many of these convenient communication tools as he could get his hands on.
If possible, Bai Xiaowen wanted to learn how to make them. Of course, he couldn't make these high-end talismans now. He didn't know the "Shang Qing Treasure"! Therefore, he could only obediently lower his head to Great Sect Master Chen.
