61. Painted skin
When he was in the mountains, Youshu had practiced various formations countless times, and he was confident. He increased the input of blood and spiritual power, and set up another formation, when Shuanglong exerted his might, not only destroyed the huge sand table, but even the roof of the tent was overturned, and the generals were even scarred by the wind blade, and the wolf was unbearable.
At this time, looking at the young man again, where did they dare to show disdain, knelt on the ground and kowtowed eight ~ nine times before they dared to get up, no matter what the young man confessed, they agreed one by one, and treated him with ten million times more respect than the Nine Emperors.
Youshu asked the generals to select and transfer fifteen cavalry to explore the place where he had just set up the formation, and if the terrain was not different from the sand table, he would go to see it in person, and then set up the formation on the spot. The generals took the order and rushed out.
The curtain fell silent, and Youshu looked up at the dilapidated roof, and her high-spirited expression slowly turned to timidity and apprehension.
"You ......"
As soon as the Nine Emperor Princes spoke, he was hurriedly interrupted, "You said you wouldn't ask for the time being." β
The Nine Emperor Princes were silent, and he became more and more worried, and even his voice became trembling, "Do you think my abilities are terrifying?" If I want to harm you one day, don't you even have the power to resist? But I can swear to heaven, if I harm your heart, let my heaven thunder, and it will not ......be good."
"Enough!" The Nine Emperor Princes shouted, "Don't make such an oath casually. I'm sure you won't hurt me, and I don't think you're terrible. We promised each other more trust, have you forgotten? β
The boy's extremely insecure appearance made him feel pity, but also anger. Although he always said that he was willing to believe in himself, there were still many uncertainties hidden in his heart. He may always stay by his side, scolding and not leaving, beating and running, but he can't trust wholeheartedly.
The Nine Emperors rubbed their foreheads in frustration, not knowing what to do to completely eliminate the barrier between them.
Youshu was like a chilling cicada, but he couldn't see the master uncomfortable, hesitated for a moment and slowly leaned over, massaged his temples, and remembered that he liked his kisses very much, just like a puppy, he kissed a lot of times, until half of his face was wet~.
The Nine Emperors were so angry and funny by him that they couldn't push away after a few pushes, so they had to take the person into their arms and kiss them back tightly. After a while, he let go of the young man's red and swollen lips~ and said, "I don't want to ask too in-depth questions, I'll wait for you to confess yourself." I just want to know, is it possible to hinder you from using these Qimen Dunjia techniques? You can hide it from others but you can't hide it from me, this formation may only need a few drops of blood to practice on the sand table, but if it is used on the real battlefield, it will not be this number. Also, how much of a sin is it to trap and kill millions of living beings? Will it be on you? Since his reincarnation, he has become convinced of fatalism.
He pinched the young man's jaw and commanded in a deep voice, "I want to hear you tell the truth!" If the price of the formation is to lose you, then I would rather fight for my life. I have my own hands, and I really don't need you to make any sacrifices for me. β
Youshu is a person outside the world, and there is no cause and effect involved, so he can act arbitrarily. He was very moved in his heart, his eyes were wet, and he said firmly, "Master, don't worry, this formation will not hinder me, I said that I will be by your side well in this life, and I will naturally not lose my words." β
The Nine Emperors looked at him for a long time, and finally believed it. Youshu has never lied, especially when facing himself, what he thinks in his heart will be written on his face immediately, so that people can see through it at a glance. The mood eased slightly, and the Nine Emperor Princes let go of his jaw and leaned over to kiss him hard.
Youshu was rewarded by the master, and he was immediately excited, if there was a tail behind him, it would have been shaken off at this time. He picked up two sets of awl thorns and explained them one by one, his eyebrows and eyes were very vibrant, "Master, look," he raised a large taper two feet long, "The equipment used in this set of formations was originally of this size, and the inscription engraved on it has the effect of gathering the aura of heaven and earth and summoning the two dragons of wind and earth. It is indeed not modest to say that this set of magic circles is not very powerful, because there are three dragon arrays, four dragon arrays, and five dragon arrays on top of this magic array, and if you summon nine dragons, you can destroy the heavens and the earth and shatter time and space. β
The Nine Emperors rarely saw the young man talking eloquently. Most of the time he was silent and tense, as if he was wary of the world. He even has some low self-esteem and does not dare to fight for what belongs to him. But now, he looks so happy, proud, and full of confidence, as if his whole person is shining.
The Nine Emperor Princes loved him very much for his current appearance, gently stroked ~ the hair that was scattered on the back of his head, and coaxed him to continue, "Since it has such great power, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money when urging, right?" β
Speaking of this, Youshu was even more energetic, explaining, "That's true. If the Double Dragon Array was activated in a normal way, this set of cone thorns alone would need to be refined for 7749 days, and 9981 human lives would need to be sacrificed every day, in exchange for the power to tear apart the water and soil. But you see, I've modified the runes carved into this set of cone thorns to retain its power, but simplified the urging process. Let me tell you this, these fifteen cone thorns were originally fifteen main programs, and in order to achieve the ability to control heaven and earth, energy must be injected and activated at the same time, and the spiritual power consumed is enough to drain a character like Zhang Tianshi. But now, I have broken down these fifteen programs into thirty interlocking programs by modifying the runes, of which the large fifteen cones are still the main program, and these small cones have become the driver, and the apone of the array eyes is the main program in the driver. In this way, I originally needed fifteen magic weapons to be urged together, but now I only need to urge this one, and I only need to refine this one, and the blood consumed is less than half a bowl, and the time is less than seven days. And because the big and small cone thorns are connected by guΓ² runes for remote sensing, I don't need to be on the battlefield in person, I just need to stay at the eye of the formation and use the sand table to control the situation. I say that, do you understand? β
He looked at his master.
The Nine Emperor Princes pondered for a moment and confessed, "I roughly understand. One, you have reduced the complexity to the complex, increasing the fifteen Dharma instruments to thirty; Second, you have simplified the complexity and reduced the amount of energy required to activate the magic circle; Third, you only need to control the small cone on the sand table to make the big cone fully release energy. That's what it means, right? β
Youshu gave a thumbs up to the master, admiring him for being able to understand it like this. He also wanted to explain it more clearly, but the way of the formation talisman was too difficult for ordinary people to understand. Aside from the computer program he was most familiar with, he really couldn't find a knowledge system that was closer to the formation talisman. In fact, when he was on the mountain, he had already made simpler and more effective adaptations of various formations according to his own understanding, which made the old man feel so amazing that he almost stopped him from coming down.
The Nine Emperor Princes erected the wood carvings on the table one by one, placed one at intervals, and then knocked down the one in the front, causing the back to fall layer by layer, and said, "The formation you changed has the power of four or two thousand catties. It only takes one finger to destroy a world, right? β
"Yes, yes, master, you are too godly!" Youshu has the feeling of finding a soulmate, and leans over to "bobo" for a wild kiss.
The Nine Emperor Princes, who were kissed by him on the face, hurriedly pressed and patted the person, his heart full of pride. Don't look at Youshu's words, but in fact, it takes more than 3,000 lives and all the mana of a Taoist ancestor to activate this magic circle. This has completely departed from the category of Qimen Dunjia, which can be called immortal art, and should not have survived in the world. But with only a small change, Youshu turned it into a battle array that ordinary mortals can control, and his understanding and wisdom have far surpassed everyone in the world.
Even if he doesn't follow himself, sooner or later he will become the most dazzling being in the world. He even has the strength to sweep Kyushu and even the world. But this stupid boy has no ambition at all, and he is not angry when he is even called a pet for more than half a month, and he can only show a little bit of strength because he cares about his own life.
He wanted very little, but he was willing to give everything for that little wish. Such a simple and pure Youshu, how could the Nine Emperor Princes not love it?
He hugged the person, kissed him firmly, and then asked in a low voice, "Now I have one last question, you have been pestering me to suck dragon essence recently, is it to increase mana?" Are you a goblin who uses essence to cultivate? Well? "The last tail note dragged on long and lingering~, and it sounded very ambiguous.
Youshu's cheeks were red, smoke was coming out of her head, and she said, "No, no, I'm not a goblin, I'm human." β
"Really? Let me touch ~ touch it. The Nine Emperors went to kiss his big wet ~ eyes while groping down.
Youshu dodged again and again, and hurriedly explained, "I don't need to absorb ~ essence to cultivate, but inhaling your essence can indeed enhance mana." I had to do this to make sure nothing went wrong, master, and you can spare me. β
"No, I can't spare you. Do you like to suck? Then I'll punish you for sucking to your heart's content! "The Nine Emperor Princes threw the man into the couch and covered itβ
After seven days of refining and half a month of topographical survey, Youshu finally chose an open place as the battlefield, and drove two sets of cone thorns into the ground and the sand table respectively, while he stayed in the formation ten miles away. The Nine Emperor Princes sent a column of iron horsemen to protect his safety, and he took command of the expedition himself.
Xia Qi's arms were tied with a bright red scarf, which looked very eye-catching. They met with the Four-Nation Alliance at the Dragon Pass, and began to call for battle after a gap of thirty miles. The commander of the four kingdoms demanded that the Nine Emperors take their own hands before the army, and they immediately withdrew their troops.
This plan to divide the world was not successful, and the Xia Qi soldiers had a firm expression, their eyes showed their fighting intentions, and they rushed over under the command of the Nine Emperor Princes. The coalition forces did not hesitate at all, and bravely met the attack. After a fierce battle between the two sides, he saw Sergeant Xia Qi fighting and retreating, slowly introducing the coalition forces into the hinterland of Longkoukou.
At this moment, a hurricane suddenly blew around, lifting the sand and dust on the ground into the air, obscuring the sky and the sun. The coalition forces could no longer distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, let alone which was the enemy and which was the friend, and it was difficult to move an inch except to cover their mouths and noses to avoid the wind and sand. Sergeant Xia Qi was not affected at all, as long as he encountered someone who did not wear a red scarf, he would kill him with one sword, but he would destroy tens of thousands of enemies in a moment.
"What are you hiding? Rush me! The commander of the coalition forces yelled hoarsely, followed by a cough that had choked into his throat from the sand.
The soldiers were about to give it their all, but they felt the ground begin to shake violently, as if it was about to turn upside down.
"Dragons, there are two purple dragons in the sky!" I don't know who shouted, everyone looked up to look, and then their hearts and galls were broken.
I saw that there were indeed two purple dragons in the sky, opening their bloody mouths, spraying dragon breath in the direction of the coalition army, each dragon breath was accompanied by a hurricane, and each dragon breath moved for a while, causing countless casualties to the coalition army. On the other hand, Xia Qi's side was calm and stable as a rock. They were still stabbing in the wind and sand, moving forward, their faces stained with blood, but they also carried a strong fighting spirit.
There is no doubt that the appearance of these two dragons is a catastrophe for the coalition army, but it is auspicious for the Xia Qi army. Could it be that even God is helping Xia Qi and the Nine Emperors? The Four-Nation Coalition was invariably secret.
At this moment, the gray sky broke through a cloud hole, and a clear voice descended with the skylight, "God bless Xia Qi, the emperor star returns." The four countries insulted their demon stars, which is really perverse, and they deserve to be punished by heaven! The two dragons of wind and earth are in battle! β
After the sound died down, the two dragons swooped down, heading to the camp of the Four-Nation Alliance. Before the dragon could really exert its might, the soldiers were completely frightened, threw away their weapons and ran wildly, shouting and not listening. Several commanders were suspicious, but they didn't dare to flee, and when they were about to resist, their heads were cut off by the wind blade, and the surging sand swallowed their horses one by one.
Within a quarter of an hour, more than half of the so-called army of one million had perished, and after another quarter of an hour, only thirty or forty thousand remained.
At this time, the black clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the two giant dragons also turned from solid to virtual, and the previous Tianyin warned again, "The Great Dao is fifty, and the Tianyan is forty-nine, and there is only a glimmer of life left." Today, I will leave you a glimmer of life, go yourself! β
As soon as the words fell, the dragon pass, which was still dark, was now a clear and clear sky, and the warm sunlight fell on people, bringing a sense of being separated from the world. Xia Qi's soldiers obeyed Tianyin's orders and did not rush to kill them all, while the only remaining tens of thousands of allied troops looked around, with an expression of disbelief on their faces.
A sound of kicking and tapping sounded in the air, and everyone looked up to see that there were two more armies, standing on the cliff wall dozens of miles apart. When he saw the marshal flags of the two armies, Xia Qi's soldiers were shocked, but the coalition forces all came back to their senses and showed excitement.
It turned out that these two armies were the Red Eyebrow Army led by Zhou Yi, the god of war of Zheng State, and the Black Dragon Iron Cavalry led by Zhu Mingyu, the general of Qin State. With these two people joining, the tide of battle can be turned in no time. They stood on the cliff, and Xia Qijun was distributed at the bottom of the cliff, and they only needed to draw their bows and shoot quickly, and they could be completely annihilated in less than half an hour.
"General Zhou, General Zhu, come and help me!" The only surviving coalition commander waved and shouted, leading his soldiers to retreat as he shouted.
Xia Qi's army was also a little chaotic, but when he saw that the unharmed Nine Emperor Princes waved his hand slightly, the two of them on the cliff nodded slightly and left quickly. They have been watching the battle here for a long time, and they are also the leaders of the hidden countries in the shadows, loyal to the reincarnation of the overlord.
In this battle, they shirked the responsibility of being in command for some reason, but each led their private troops to come to the rescue, although the number was small, but they occupied the advantage of the terrain, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the two sides to attack, and they could also achieve a big victory. However, they never expected that there were such strange people hidden by the master's side, and they would trap and kill millions of troops without much effort.
Put the remaining tens of thousands of horses back, and let them publicize this unbelievable war, which is enough to spread the news that the master is the Emperor Star of the Mandate of Heaven. Heaven warns, the dragon helps, who dares to say that the master is a demon star? Aren't you afraid of the same damnation as the coalition forces?
The Nine Emperors did not sue anyone for this move, so Xia Qi's soldiers were even more shocked than the remnants of the coalition army. They looked at His Highness sitting on horseback, and at the upside-down battlefield, and finally surrendered completely.
"Go back and tell your master, within four years, this king will definitely set foot in the four kingdoms and unify Kyushu." The Nine Emperor Princes raised their voices and said.
The remnants of the coalition army were captured by his majesty, and they had the urge to kneel and worship, and had to use their swords and halberds to stand on the ground. The surviving generals were not easy to answer, so they only waved their hands and ordered everyone to retreat, but retreating to the valley mouth seemed to hit an invisible wall, and they could not advance an inch no matter what.
What's going on? Could it be that God repented and didn't let us leave alive? Just as they were on the verge of collapsing, the transparent wall suddenly disappeared, causing the first few people to fall hard. They hurriedly got up and fled, believing in the legend of the Heavenly Mandate Emperor Star, and secretly hated the lord who spread rumors and pushed the four kingdoms to extinction.
In the panic, they did not notice that a young man in white clothes and beautiful appearance appeared on the top of the cliff. With a slight wave of his sleeves, tens of thousands of people flowed away like a flood that had leaked ~ the sluice, and he didn't even dare to turn his head back. However, Xia Qi's generals all stared at him with burning eyes, and when the enemy retreated, they dismounted one after another, bowed down sincerely, and called themselves immortal masters.
The soldiers who received the order to surrender were very resistant to the orders from above, but now they realized that there was a superior person behind it. They also knelt down the mountain and shouted Chitose, and the volume was almost earth-shaking.
Of the people present, except for Youshu, the only one who didn't kneel was the Nine Emperor Princes. He looked at the young man with crimson cheeks and seemed to be ashamed, and slowly opened his arms, as if he wanted to hug him across the mountains. This is his lover, the most unique being in heaven and on earth.
Youshu understood what he meant and smiled slowly. Even when he saw his own devastating power, the master did not feel fear and jealousy, he was proud of himself, and he wanted to share the joy of success with him. It turned out that in my previous life, I missed such a beautiful moment.
Youshu smiled and smiled, but two lines of tears fell, and she hurriedly covered her face and fled away. The iron horsemen who were waiting not far away immediately surrounded him and protected him from the air. This master is now a national treasure of Xia Qi, and he can't even hurt a single hair.
After the Battle of Longpass, the four kingdoms fell completely silent, and General Zhou and General Zhu defected with their private troops respectively without being pursued or assassinated. On the contrary, the legends about the demon star that were originally spread in Shikoku have all become the return of the emperor star, causing the people to panic all day long, and they all secretly hate the perverse behavior of the lord of the country.
After the great victory, Xia Qiguo only suffered a few thousand casualties, while the four-nation alliance army was in the millions, which caused shocks on all sides. It is rare to win more battles with less, and it is even more unheard of and unheard of for Xia Qi to win like this. After this battle, who would dare to plunder Xia Qi's edge again? Who can muster an army of millions?
Various versions of the legend circulated in Shikoku, and then gradually unified the caliber, that is, the Nine Emperors followed a strange person by his side, who could go to heaven and earth, call for wind and rain, and shatter mountains and rivers. If you get this person, you will get the world. For a time, there were countless spies who came to investigate the strangers, but they all circled around the camp randomly, and were easily captured by the patrolling guards at dawn.
Over time, the rumors did not subside, but became more and more magical and absurd, and this person was shaped into an immortal. The Nine Emperor Princes with the help of immortals must also be the emperor star, and the mandate of heaven is in the body, and it cannot be disobeyed. The alliance of the four nations collapsed because of this rumor, some lords advocated submission, some lords tried to seize the immortals, and some lords were still hesitating to wait and see.
And the immersive Xia Qi soldiers, their awe of Youshu will only be deeper. In the past, he was laughed at by people wherever he went, and now he is bowed down to wherever he goes, and even the things he discarded will be snatched up by the soldiers in the blink of an eye, and he plans to take them back as heirlooms~ treasure. This is an immortal thing, with a fairy aura!
Three months after the Battle of Longpass, a thousand-mile horse galloped into the city with a soldier. Seeing the token in the soldier's hand, the guards immediately dispersed the crowd and let him pass unimpeded. A quarter of an hour later, Emperor Zhong Kang, who was sitting on the Jinluan Palace, received an urgent battle report of 800 li, and before he could open it and read it, the ministers below had already shown sad faces. There is no doubt that they have even written a memorial to the former prince, and they have hidden it in their sleeves, ready to take it out and recite it at any time.
Emperor Zhong Kangdi had already made contact with his son, but he had not been able to provoke it, and what he was waiting for was this war report. He wanted to see what kind of masks the group of people below were wearing and what kind of drama they would play.
He slowly opened the battle report, and then his eyes widened in disbelief, and his fingertips trembled violently, as if he could not control himself. The ministers knelt down as if they had been commanded, and begged him to keep the dragon's body, and the princes wept bitterly and shouted for the prince.
Are these people really crying or fake crying, how can Emperor Zhong Kangdi not see it? His sharp gaze swept over the princes one by one, and finally stopped on the faces of the six princes with the most sad expressions. When the sixth prince was flustered by his scrutiny, and almost lost his temper, he heard a cry from below, like killing a pig, "My son! Dad said he wouldn't let you go, you want to go, and now the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, and asks me to follow you~ How can my mother live in the future? β
is obviously crying for the prince, why does this person have a mouthful of "my son"? Too bold, right? Emperor Zhong Kang looked at it fixedly, and suddenly had a splitting headache. Isn't the master who beats his chest and feet down and rolls all over the ground just have his father? With such a fat and round body and such vulgar behavior, how did he raise an immortal like Youshu?
Emperor Zhong Kang couldn't cry or laugh, held his forehead and quietly looked at Zhao Shilang, and only after a quarter of an hour did he hand the battle report to the chief eunuch, and said, "Take this battle report to Lord Zhao to see." Tell him to stop howling, I have a headache. β
