Chapter 308: Energetic
Huo Junyuan stretched out his hand and pressed Fang Ling's wrist, testing the meridian qi and blood in his body, and then said in amazement: "It is worthy of being born in the Nine Heavens Thunder, the power is infinite, second brother, the strength of your physical body is only much stronger than I was back then, since this thunder is sleeping, it is better not to move it for the time being, after all, with your current cultivation, you can escape death, and it is a great luck to improve your cultivation by two levels." ”
Fang Ling nodded, and couldn't help but say, "Big brother, is it good or bad for this thing to stay in my body?"
Huo Junyuan smiled lightly: "Whether it is good or bad, this thunder of the Nine Heavens falling into the body of the second brother is already a fixed number in the six reincarnations, but it is a death calamity for the second brother, fortunately, you have the help of the people of the Changfeng Sect and survived this level, so as to get blessed, as for whether the remaining thunder is good or bad, no one knows, so the second brother, you must step up your cultivation and obtain the power to suppress this thunder as soon as possible, so that it will not pose any threat to you." ”
Fang Ling's heart was secretly heavy when he heard this, and he clenched his fists and decided to cultivate more diligently.
When Huo Junyuan said this, he couldn't help but snort heavily, and his jade face was dyed with a rare layer of anger, "But this Zhenguo Heavenly Master of the Changfeng Sect is really ridiculous, he actually imprisoned his disciple in the Heavenly Prison, if it weren't for the destruction of my body, otherwise I would definitely have to find him to seek justice!"
Fang Ling didn't think that he was really angry, it can be seen how much he values the honor and disgrace of his master, he thought for a while and asked: "Big brother, one of the Changfeng Sect and the Moon Moon Sect is in the Chu State and the other is in the Qin State, separated by Cai and Wu, it stands to reason that there is no border between this region, how can there be such a deep contradiction?"
Huo Junyuan sighed lightly and said, "Second brother, you don't know anything, but since you mentioned this, it's good to let you know the origin of this matter, so as not to cause trouble in the future." Three hundred years ago, when the four kingdoms of Chu, Cai, Wu, and Yue did not exist, this area was the territory of the Great Song Kingdom, and the border with the Great Song Kingdom was the Qin State. ”
Only then did Fang Ling realize, indeed, the Qin State was one of the most powerful countries on the earth, and although the Great Song State was destroyed, the Qin State was getting stronger and stronger.
Huo Junyuan continued: "At that time, the Changfeng Sect was the Immortal Gate behind the Great Song Kingdom, and the Immortal Gate behind the Qin State was our Moon Sect, and the regions of the two Great Immortal Sects were in contact. Although there have been frequent conflicts between the two countries in the mortal realm, in the cultivation realm, the two major sects are both on the right path, so they get along relatively peacefully, and occasional small disputes do not affect the exchanges between the two sects. ”
"So, there must have been a major incident that caused the two sects to clash?" Fang Ling pondered.
Huo Junyuan bowed his head and said: "At that time, the Great Song Kingdom was during the reign of the last Emperor Xiaowu, and it invaded neighboring countries on a large scale, and even wanted to conquer the Qin State for a time. You must know that immortals have immortal rules, and the two immortal gates will not directly intervene in the political affairs of the mortal world, that is to say, even if the Great Song Kingdom destroys the Qin State, the two immortal gates will not go down to the mortal world to help. However, because the strength of the two countries directly affects the interests of the Immortal Sect, the relationship between the Changfeng Sect and the Sect was very tense for a time, and it happened that at this time, a cultivator artifact left over from ancient times was found in the border area of the two Immortal Sects. ”
"True Cultivator Magic Weapon?" Fang Ling narrowed his eyes slightly.
Huo Junyuan said: "The cultivator magic weapons left over from ancient times are generally stronger than ordinary cultivator magic weapons, and this magic weapon unearthed is also accompanied by a vision of heaven and earth, which is by no means an ordinary thing. In order to compete for this magic weapon, the masters of the two major sects at that time were concentrated in the bordering area and fought an earth-shattering war. ”
"The war of the cultivators? I don't know how magnificent it is. Fang Ling couldn't help but sigh, recalling that with the help of the Thunder Tribulation, he almost divided the entire island into two, if a real cultivator used martial arts, then he really didn't know how powerful it was.
Huo Junyuan continued: "At that time, the war was very fierce, and the number of casualties on both sides was quite large, and the vitality was greatly damaged, and finally our Mochizuki Sect obtained the true cultivation weapon. At this time, Emperor Xiaowu of the Great Song Kingdom died, and the Great Song Kingdom perished, splitting into four countries: Chu, Cai, Wu, and Yue. Originally, a powerful immortal sect could become the immortal gate behind several countries at the same time, but the Changfeng Sect was greatly injured due to the battle with our sect, and finally the other three immortal sects took the opportunity to snatch the control of the three kingdoms of Cai, Wu, and Yue, while the Changfeng Sect only occupied one country of Chu. ”
When Fang Ling heard this, he already understood everything, and he said, "So the Changfeng Sect put all this account on the head of the Moon Sect. ”
Huo Junyuan sighed: "Yes, originally according to the immortal rules, the travel of the disciples of the Immortal Sect in the countries of the land is not restricted, but the people of the Changfeng Sect made it difficult for the disciples of the Sect who entered the Chu State because of this matter, but I didn't expect to do such a bastard thing as imprisoning!"
Fang Ling's face was also stained with a layer of frost, and he said lightly: "I originally thought it was a big contradiction, but it turned out that it was just such a thing, the Changfeng Sect's skills were not as good as others, and it was really ridiculous to blame you." For such a ridiculous reason, Xiao Xue was imprisoned for a whole year, and I will naturally find the Zhenguo Heavenly Master to settle this account!"
Huo Junyuan heard the thick murderous aura in his tone, and suddenly understood: "Second brother, should you be ...... to my junior sister?"
Fang Ling was angry for a while, and couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, Huo Junyuan laughed out loud and said: "To be able to become a member of my Moon Moon Sect, the qualifications must be extraordinary, and the woman who can make the second brother fall in love with it is not ordinary, I really want to meet my junior sister now." ”
Fang Ling sighed and said, "It's just that the eldest brother and sister are very arrogant, but I'm afraid that they don't take me to heart." ”
Huo Junyuan smiled and said: "Just like the immortal gate, the heart and nature are naturally different from mortals. But when did you say such frustrating words, second brother? Although you have not entered the immortal gate, how many people can get this immortal fate? What's more, with my understanding of the second brother, you are not someone who will give up casually. ”
Fang Ling laughed dryly and said, "Naturally, I won't give up easily, but I still have to ask my eldest brother to help." ”
Huo Junyuan couldn't help but point at him and scolded with a smile: "I knew that you guy wouldn't let me go, but how can I help you feel like you're pushing a sheep into a tiger's den?"
Fang Ling hurriedly said, "Then big brother, you can rest assured that your junior sister will be handed over to other people? ”
Huo Junyuan suddenly smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Second brother, I'm afraid I can't say anything about your mouth, but what you said is also a bit of a truth, I really can't trust other people, so it seems that I have to help others to the end." ”
Fang Ling was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly told him about the doppelganger mirror, Huo Junyuan frowned slightly when he heard it, and said, "So, the doppelganger mirror hasn't been found yet?"
Fang Ling suddenly 'touched' the signs from these words, and said happily: "Could it be that the eldest brother came to Chu State back then to find the doppelganger mirror?"
Huo Junyuan smiled slightly, and said admittedly: "But all the people who travel to the mortal world are not simply visiting relatives, they are actually burdened with tasks, and finding the doppelganger mirror is one of them." I did have this mission at the time, but I didn't expect that after 300 years, the doppelganger mirror had just been whereabouts. ”
Fang Ling said: "I don't know what that doppelganger mirror looks like, if I know the specific appearance, it will be easier for my people to find it." ”
Huo Junyuan didn't understand his thoughts, so he smiled and told what he knew about the doppelganger mirror, which naturally included the appearance characteristics of the doppelganger mirror.
Fang Ling was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately after he left the inch, he found Zhuo Shangchao and told him about it.
Originally, Yinhu Water Village had a large number of contacts, and now it has clarified the shape of the mirror, but after two or three days, Zhuo Shangchao brought the news about the mirror, and there was a rich family in the first town where Xiao Xue appeared, and it is said that there is a secret treasure in the family, which is a mirror that can be made of strange crystals.
You must know that whether it is a flat-headed common person or a royal nobleman, the mirrors used are all made of copper, and they have a vague appearance, and they are not clearly reflected in the water, but it is said that this mirror looks as clear as if they are facing each other, which is a strange thing, and this appearance is exactly the same as what Huo Junyuan said.
Later, after the town was occupied by the Yizhou army, in order to protect himself, this person presented his family's treasure and this ancestral treasure mirror to the defending generals.
However, the mirror is not in the hands of the defending generals, but is sent back and forth by these corrupt officials, because many things are secret, so it is not easy to trace, plus the continuous war, many related officials died on the battlefield, so there is no clue to who the treasure mirror fell into, but there is only one thing that is certain, that is, the person who got this treasure mirror must be a general-level official.
When Fang Ling heard this, he suddenly understood, Xiao Xue also saw through this, so he repeatedly appeared on the battlefield commanded by the general, just to find out whose hand the treasure mirror was.
However, although Yizhou is small, there are many characters above the general level, and it is very troublesome to analyze them one by one and find possible objects.
Fang Ling thought about it, and then sent an order to go back to the mountain city to find Zhu Yanding, maybe he could find some clues.
Fortunately, Zhu Yanding really sent a very useful clue, the doppelganger mirror once fell into the hands of a person named Shi Baoliang, this person is a deputy general under Chang Bai, the general of the southern part of Yizhou, he and Zhu Yanding's general is a fellow villager, and he has a deep friendship, so before returning to the mountain city war, the general came to the southern general's station once and saw Shi Baoliang show this mirror with his own eyes.
After learning the news, Fang Ling rushed to the East Dome Pass with Shen Ling, and Song Ying'er and Lu Bei and other guards naturally escorted him, although Fang Ling's body had basically recovered, but it would take a period of recuperation to recover to the best state.
At the same time, because of the fact that he cooperated with his fellow martial artists to kill the evil path of the Tiankui Sect again, the fame of the King of Shicheng once again resounded all over the earth, and the people of the Dingjian Gate and other sects who had experienced this battle even rendered this matter as if the heavens and men were fighting, especially the shocking sword of the King of Shicheng, which was depicted like a miracle, and the miracle of the tiger Jiao turning into a dragon was on par with it.
You must know that people in martial arts are different from ordinary people, and they inevitably think that they are superior, so in the past, they sneered at the rumors about how good King Shicheng was in ordinary people, and felt that it was just a lie.
But this was spread by a gate sect like Dingjian Sect, and the effect was different. It's just that although this kind of propaganda is very beneficial to Fang Ling's reputation and makes him famous for the third time, the crisis it brings can also be imagined, after all, the people of the Tiankui Sect are unwilling to give up.
Fortunately, now he is accompanied by the immortal disciples of the Changfeng Sect, so Fang Ling can also feel at ease for the time being, and in the afternoon after a few days of the trip, everyone came to the East Dome Pass.
As the first fortress in the East, the East Dome Pass is not known for its treacherous terrain. On the contrary, the terrain here is flat and endless, but one fortification after another has been built on the terrain, making it a natural battlefield, which may contain a huge force of four or five hundred thousand, which is almost equal to the entire strength of a large vassal state.
However, the pressure on the East Dome Pass is not small, now the Yizhou Kingdom, the Dongzhou Kingdom and the Anxi County Kingdom have gathered more than 400,000 troops to besiege the East Dome Pass, more than a dozen battles, the loss around the East Dome Pass is also quite serious, a large number of fortifications and facilities have been destroyed, the troops have been consumed, and the opponent's troops are getting closer and closer to the East Dome Pass.
That means that the identity of the person who comes is above himself.
At such a young age, with extraordinary momentum, good cultivation, and above himself, there is only one person who can meet these conditions on the land of Chu State, Huang Longhu suddenly felt bright, suppressed the shock in his heart, and half-knelt on the ground and said: "The last general Huang Longhu will meet His Royal Highness the King of Shicheng." ”
Fang Ling didn't expect Huang Longhu to be able to identify his identity at once, so he couldn't help but smile, strode down, took Huang Longhu's arms and said: "General Huang, please hurry up, you are old and respectful, your prestige is far and wide, and you are one of the generals that this king admires the most." ”
Huang Longhu originally judged Fang Ling's cultivation to be just good, but seeing him help himself up so easily, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, you must know that he is also a master of the Qi Realm, and his martial arts attainments are amazing, just this contact, he can immediately feel Fang Ling's undispersed Heaven and Earth Qi, and he is definitely also a martial artist at the Qi Realm level.
The surprise in Huang Longhu's heart can be imagined, so much so that he actually forgot to speak after standing up, he is one of the dignified generals of the Quartet, and immediately discovered his gaffe, and said modestly: "Your Highness has won the award, and the important ministers in the court are as brave as tigers, and the old decay is not ranked." ”
Fang Ling smiled, and he was not saying polite words, and after Huang Longhu sat down, he said casually: "I heard that the battle in the East Dome Pass is also very fierce now, and I see that some of the soldiers in the city are also quite tired. ”
Huang Longhu said calmly: "Now that the people of Yizhou Kingdom, Dongzhou Kingdom and Anxi County Kingdom are attacking my East Dome Pass, and after more than a dozen battles in a row, it is true that the soldiers are also tired. However, Your Highness can rest assured that the last general will definitely defend this pass and will not let the army of the Three Kingdoms attack further!"
Fang Ling had already collected the Xingzhou war through the ears and eyes of Yinhu Water Village before he came, and when he saw Huang Longhu showing full confidence, he couldn't help but smile faintly and said: "However, according to this king's view, Dongqiongguan is indeed an internal and external trouble, and the situation is not as optimistic as General Huang said." ”
Huang Longhu squinted slightly, and pretended to be puzzled: "Oh, how can Your Highness say this?"
Fang Ling flicked his hand and said: "The country's civil and military generals are nothing more than divided into three major factions, one is the forces that support the crown prince's queen and Prime Minister Cui, the second is the forces that oppose them and support the king, and the third is the middle force. There is no doubt that General Huang is one of these forces. ”
Huang Longhu smiled lightly: "The last general has always disliked to talk about politics, naturally he doesn't like who to support, who owns the throne, everything is up to His Majesty's decision." ”
Fang Ling chuckled and said, "Of course, it is best for General Huang to think like this, but it is not necessarily that others will necessarily think like this. As far as I know, Empress Song has always taken the means of co-opting the middle forces, but if the co-optation is not successful, then she will try her best to eradicate such a large piece of fat in the state, but I am afraid that she has long coveted it, but she has never had a chance. ”
Having said this, although Huang Longhu's face did not change his complexion, his brows couldn't help frowning.
Fang Ling saw his expression in his eyes and continued: "The men and horses stationed in the East Dome Pass are 460,000 people, the Yizhou army is 150,000, the Dongzhou army is 200,000, and the Anxi County Wang army is 100,000, adding up to 450,000. However, His Majesty is only afraid that he will not increase the number of troops in the East Dome Pass, because Empress Song knows that if the East Dome Pass is lost, then she can push her forces here. ”
Huang Longhu's heart sank when he heard this, he didn't expect Fang Ling to see the situation so clearly. Indeed, he had already asked His Majesty for more troops, but he was beaten back. Now that I think about it, it is indeed very likely that Queen Song is blowing the wind on the pillow.
He looked at Fang Ling intently and said: "Your Highness is really wise, the last general doesn't like to talk about politics with people, but some people like to use politics against me, but Your Highness, the last general will never stand on anyone's side." ”
Fang Ling already knew that he was a hard bone, so he was naturally not in a hurry to gnaw on it, and laughed: "General Huang is not on the side of the prince, that is already the best news for this king." So, let's discuss now how to solve the problem of the East Dome Pass!"
Seeing that Fang Ling did not take the opportunity to 'force', but instead helped solve the problem, Huang Longhu couldn't help but be stunned, Shen Ling smiled slightly: "Your Highness is worthy of being Your Highness, and you are not aggressive at all, and it is because of this that you can win the hearts of the people in the world." Uncle, I think let's listen to His Highness's idea. ”
Huang Longhu asked, "Then I don't know if Your Highness has any way to solve the current problem?"
Fang Ling smiled lightly and said, "It's very simple, just defeat the Three Kingdoms Alliance!"
After Shen Ling's guards showed their waist cards, the group came to the outside of the main hall in the city unimpeded, all the buildings in the East Dome Pass were built in all directions, the roads were as neat as a ruler, people came and went, most of the soldiers were in good spirits, but their faces couldn't hide a little tiredness.
Because Fang Ling told Shen Ling not to let people report it, so as not to leak the news, after all, as the commander of the Dingzhou border, if it was known that he had come to Xingzhou, he was afraid that he would be taken by someone with a heart to talk about it.
When the group came to the outside of the inner hall of the hall, the guards outside the hall told Shen Ling that Huang Longhu was holding a military meeting in the hall and no one was allowed to break in.
Although the people who participated in the military meeting were all important figures of the army and all of Huang Longhu's henchmen, Fang Ling was not prepared to 'show' his face in front of so many people, so Shen Ling asked the guards to pass the news of his return, and then took Fang Ling to a small hall on the side of the hall, drinking tea and chatting.
Shen Ling had never doubted that Fang Ling had cultivated the True Cultivation Method, after all, there were still many geniuses in this world, and with his extraordinary talent, he had reached an astonishing level at a young age, plus Fang Ling had endured the Heavenly Thunder, and his physique had been strengthened, and the Qi of Heaven and Earth would be more refined, not to mention Shen Ling's suspicions.
It's just that Shen Ling is not without envy during his conversation, after all, Shen Ling is also highly qualified to be selected into the Immortal Sect, and with the guidance of the Immortal Master, with the assistance of the Spirit Pill, he was promoted to the beginning of the Qi Realm at the age of 25 or 6.
However, Fang Ling was blessed by misfortune, and he actually stood on the same level with him at the age of less than 20 years old, and now Fang Ling is far superior to Xianmen disciples of the same age.
These days of getting along have also laid a good foundation for the friendship between the two, originally both of them were from everyone, and their preferences and so on were similar, so they naturally talked about many topics.
Song Ying'er was deeply relieved by Fang Ling's cultivation for improvement, and stood aside and listened quietly, looking at the young man with a smiling face, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
After a while, with the sound of steady footsteps coming from outside the hall, a burly old man in a general uniform walked into the small hall.
Due to his profound cultivation, the old man's appearance was about forty years old, but in fact his age was over fifty. His sideburns were gray, his forehead was wrinkled, his gaze was firm and blazing, and his lips were covered with a thick beard.
He is eight feet tall, as strong as a lion and tiger, and he walks like a dragon and a tiger, and he has a general-like momentum as soon as he enters.
Fang Ling couldn't help but nod again and again, just this momentum was worthy of being one of the four great generals, the Eastern General.
Huang Longhu had already seen Lu Bei and others who were guarding the hall as early as outside the hall, and when he saw a few people with good momentum, he couldn't help but take a few more looks, and now when he walked into the small hall, he couldn't help but look up and down a few times when he saw Fang Ling.
The young man is dressed in white, extraordinary, and at first glance he is the son of everyone, and he is also looking at himself, his eyes are calm and calm.
Huang Longhu was secretly surprised in his heart, the young man was a few years younger than his nephew, but his temperament was not inferior to his "color", and he dared to look directly into his eyes without changing his "color", and it was even more obvious that his heart "sex" was extraordinary, and even the "beautiful" maid behind him was different from an ordinary little girl.
What surprised Huang Longhu even more was that Fang Ling was sitting on the main seat of the small hall, he knew that his nephew was not a person who didn't know how to measure, so he let the guests sit in the main seat
