Chapter 135 If you continue like this, you will be excommunicated!
The next day, early in the morning.

The city of Pucheng, which was in chaos yesterday, has returned to order today.

Women who got up early, carrying bamboo baskets, wandered the busy streets, bargaining with vendors and buying food for one or several days.

The shop owner shouted enthusiastically, providing fragrant noodles, steamed buns and fried dough sticks to regular customers.

Groups of farmers, carrying hoes, walked out of the city, chatting, and each of them had a lunch box on their waist.

Children studying.

Winery employees rushing to work.

All kinds of noise come one after another, creating a lively scene.

"Aaron, it's time for breakfast."

The virtuous Mrs. Yang knocked on Cheng Long's door.

The dark clouds that hung over the heads of the people dissipated one day, and a rosy glow appeared on the sister-in-law's face, exuding the charm of a mature woman. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was the result of Captain Yang's hard work last night, and he had served the sister-in-law very well.

Cheng Long opened the door and saw Zhou Susu, who looked very happy. He joked, "Sister-in-law, you look so happy. Captain Yang must have worked very hard last night. Can he still get up now?"

"What do you mean by can't get up? I don't know what you are talking about. Come with me and brush your teeth. You will get lumps of dough soon."

Zhou Susu rolled her eyes at Cheng Long in annoyance, her pretty face blushing.

This little bastard only knows how to make fun of himself, like a child who never grows up! What handsome guy, what evil way, in her eyes, Cheng Long is just a naughty kid next door, very kind.

On the road.

Zhou Susu looked back at Cheng Long frequently.

"Sister-in-law, do you think I'm handsome? You've turned around to look at me eight times?"

"narcissism!"

Zhou Susu blushed and patted Cheng Long, then said seriously: "Ah Long, why do I feel like you've grown taller?"

“It’s a little bit higher indeed.”

Cheng Long finished his work last night and came back to absorb the essence and blood energy of 38 people. 40- people can strengthen a Captain America. Sucking people at a time is so cool.

Before the time travel, he already had the physical strength to defend against cold weapon attacks. After this strengthening, he wouldn't say his body could withstand a nuclear bomb, but it would definitely be as painful as a tickle if a normal gun hit him.

The only hot weapons that can threaten him now are sniper rifles, RPGs and other heavy weapons.

His physical strength therefore broke through to one hundred tons. According to the classification of Marvel superheroes, his strength value is 7, which is on the same level as the Hulk and Thor.

The speed has doubled from 400 meters per second to 800 meters per second.

These are all improvements brought about by pure physical strengthening. After being enchanted, they will only be stronger.

When he woke up this morning, Cheng Long found that his height had increased to at least two meters and two centimeters. He didn't measure the exact height, but it was roughly the same.

To avoid being too shocking, he had to reduce his size from 2.2 meters to less than 1.9 meters.

But even so, Mrs. Yang still noticed it.

In this regard, Cheng Long could only say that this woman had a very sharp intuition.

He was actually a little uncomfortable with the reduction in size. He felt comfortable with his real body being less than two meters tall. His strength and speed were not suppressed, and his explosive power was particularly strong.

After the reduction, the strength was suppressed by at least 30%.

In other words, in his current state, he can only exert 60% to 70% of his strength.

But it's enough.

The physical strength alone is over a hundred tons, and if it's 60% or 70% it would be seventy to eighty tons. Even a hairy zombie can't stop it, let alone a human?
"From now on, the two-meter-tall real body will be called the Demon God's Body."

"As long as I continue to practice and suck blood, the body of the demon god will grow taller and taller. Sooner or later, I will be expelled from the human race. It is better to take the initiative..."

Cheng Long made this decision silently.

……

After breakfast.

Yang Kenan, Zhou Susu, Lao Liao and others, taking advantage of the fact that Cheng Long had not yet returned to the barracks, represented by Yang Dasao, raised a rather sharp issue that everyone in Pucheng was worried about.

"Along, now the Cao family army has become the Cheng family army, do you have any plans for the future?"

"Sister-in-law, I know what you are worried about. Actually, there is no need to worry. I am different from Cao Ying. I don't have the idea of ​​conquering cities and seizing other people's wealth."

Cheng Long, a demon cultivator who cultivates merit, dare not follow Cao Ying's old path of conquering cities and territories and training troops through war.

This is actually the lowest level and most brainless approach. It is not impossible to use war to support war and grow stronger in war, but it has to be done in troubled times and as a last resort.

Now we don’t even have an external enemy, and we are fighting each other all day long. Today you take my territory, and tomorrow I take your territory. Isn’t this just wasting our own manpower?
Although the upcoming war has nothing to do with them, Beiyang will choose to remain neutral.

But precisely because of this, the Cheng family army needs to accumulate more military strength in order to wipe out the invaders in a dozen years.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of interfering too deeply in World War II, Cheng Long would have wanted to unify the Central Plains and become the founder of the New Central Plains.

"Aaron, I feel relieved with your words."

Zhou Susu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, A-Long did not disappoint her. He was a kind-hearted monk who had gone astray and was often misunderstood. Whenever Zhou Susu thought of this, she would feel sorry for him and wanted to hold him in her arms and comfort him...

"Aaron, since you don't plan to capture cities and suck the blood of the people, do you plan to join the National Defense Army?"

"If you have this intention, I can introduce Marshal Hong to you. He is the commander-in-chief of the Southern National Defense Army and should be able to help you solve the problem of supporting the Cheng family army..."

Yang Kenan said cautiously.

The Marshal Hong he mentioned only appeared once in the movie. The actor who played the role was the leader of the Hong Clan, who was known as the "most flexible fat man", a majestic and sharp-eyed general.

"Whether to join or not is another matter, but we can meet first."

Cheng Long did not refuse. If the Cheng family army wanted to gain a foothold, they had to have territory. If they joined the National Protection Army, the commander-in-chief would have to allocate territory to them. Only with land could there be taxes, and only with taxes could there be income.

Of course, if he wants to get these, he has to contribute to the National Protection Army. If the war on the front line is tense, he will have to send reinforcements.

The most important thing.

If too many people are sent, the soldiers under your command will be merged into other divisions, and over time, they may be sidelined.

But he's not worried.

Zhang Yi, Mao Jun and others were either his servants or his puppets. No matter which division they went to, they were all generals under the command of his Cheng faction. With the enhanced physical fitness and wisdom of Zhang Yi and others, they could even climb up and become brigade commanders or even division commanders.

The ultimate beneficiary will only be him, the helmsman of the National Defense Army.

"Okay, I'll send someone to contact Marshal Hong and ask him to come here when he has time..." Cheng Long's straightforward attitude made Yang Kenan, Lao Liao and others feel very happy.

Finally they don’t have to worry about Pucheng anymore!
The Cao family army that originally threatened the people of Pucheng might even transform itself into a city defense army protecting Pucheng.

This dreamlike scene was possible only because of the extraordinary, young and promising man in front of him.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that a young man had such great abilities.

……

Pucheng, on the official road outside the city.

After three days of traveling and sleeping in the open air, Jingjing got up at daybreak and went to the stream to wash. When she came back, she woke up her master, Master Ikkyu, and hurried to Pucheng.

The master and his disciple hurriedly traveled for more than 20 miles and thought that when they arrived in Pucheng, they would see ruins and corpses all over the ground. They never imagined that the army that should have threatened the safety of the people of Pucheng was actually stationed outside the city openly. From time to time, a few people carrying loads on their shoulders would come out of the city and run outside the camp to sell food they made to the soldiers.

There was no sound of gunfire, no shouting of fighting and killing, only the noise of bargaining.

"Master, I'm hungry, let's go eat something!"

Jingjing hadn't eaten much since last night because she was worried. She only felt hungry now that she felt relieved. Pucheng was so peaceful, Brother Long would definitely be fine.

After eating and drinking, it won’t be too late to go into the city to look for people.

"I gave you some dry food on the road, but you didn't eat it. I thought you didn't know you were hungry!"

"Master, I'm worried about Brother Long and that he can't eat!"

Jingjing dragged Master Ikkyu to a stall selling fried cakes, asked the vendor for two scallion fried cakes, and began to eat them impatiently.

"Jingjing~~"

Just as Jingjing was wolfing down her food, Cheng Long's voice suddenly rang out behind her. Jingjing turned around in ecstasy and saw the handsome and elegant Brother Long walking towards her. She was so excited that she was speechless.

She was now exhausted, her mouth was full of oil, and there was a chopped green onion hanging at the corner of her mouth.

Compared with the well-dressed Brother Long in front of her, Jingjing was so excited but also so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

"Master Ikkyu, it really is you guys!"

Just as Cheng Long was about to enter the camp to explain some things to Zhang Yi and others, he spotted Master Ikkyu outside the camp. He excitedly ran up to the two of them and gave Jingjing a hug.

It is undeniable that Jingjing looks a bit rustic now, but it is rustic in a real and cute way.

Such a pretty little round face that I want to pinch it when I see it.

"Aaron, how come I can't even see through your cultivation level after just a few days of not seeing you?"

Master Ikkyu was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

In the past, I could still see some general idea and knew the gap between us, but now looking at Aaron, I just feel that he is unfathomable.

Specifically speaking, it was only three days and four nights.

How could Aaron become so unfathomable in such a short time?
"Haha, it's just a small breakthrough, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning..." Cheng Long smiled modestly.

Master Yixiu twitched his lips and said, "If this is just a small breakthrough, then I have been standing still for the past few years, right?"

"Master, let's not talk about this for now. Aren't you guys in Wangyue Mountain? Why are you in Pucheng?"

"It's all because of you..." When Master Yixiu mentioned this, he got angry and said with a unhappy face, "My girl, when she heard that you were going to Queya Mountain to exorcise the monster, she ran away from home without saying a word. With her limited cultivation, she is just causing trouble. If I don't catch up with her quickly, Jingjing will either be captured by the bandits or eaten by the monsters."

"I can't control this crazy girl at all. You came just in time. Now I officially hand her over to you. From now on, you will be in charge of her. If she doesn't obey, you can beat her. You don't have to give me face."

"Master~~"

Jingjing stamped her feet angrily. Her master really didn't give her any face at all.

She also said something about formally handing herself over to Brother Long. Although this is what she wants, you can't be so straightforward. Wouldn't that make me lose face?
