Chapter 1 Heaven and Earth Are Like Furnaces
Volume 9 "Shenzhou Weiyuan"
*****
Around the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather on the Shenzhou continent is like a steamer, and the busy people are also in full swing. The time of the Shura Demon Clan's invasion was closer than originally imagined, and even so, the upper echelons of the imperial court had already prepared for the worst.
In the Helan Mountains, the fortifications have been temporarily put aside, and a huge magic circle with the sun, moon and stars as the heavenly disk and the mountains and rivers as the territory is being built. This is the Starfall Old Man...... That is, the grandson of the famous soldier Qi of the pre-Qin Dynasty, who spent the last time of his life and painstakingly researched the last masterpiece.
In order to build this giant magic circle, many barbarians were killed, and many more were enslaved and died. Although, once the barbarians invade, even the barbarians should not want to escape the tragic order, no matter which point of view, this is also for the barbarians themselves. However, it was still the muskets, the hooves, and the whips that really urged the barbarians.
During this period, there were naturally some local riots, but they were quickly suppressed. Even before Huaxia could make a move, the people arranged by the Divine Book Sect had already started to kill first.
The so-called "barbarians" themselves are composed of various different tribes, and at this moment, the god book Zongbei, who has been granted an official position by Haojing, and his subordinates, have become the overseers who supervise the barbarian labor. Just as when the barbarians invaded the barbarians, the Chinese people at the bottom hated the most, not the barbarians, but the Tianxiao army who took refuge in the barbarians, the history is always strikingly similar, and now after the defeat of the barbarians, the most ruthless barbarians who have become laborers are also barbarians.
The Xuan factories built everywhere, I don't know how many materials are piled up in the direction of Helan Mountain, and the war with the "demons" is unavoidable, if you can't win, all the children will be boiled and eaten by the demons, all the women will be torn apart by the demons, and all the men will be slaughtered by the demons, even if there are lucky ones who don't die, they will become pathetic slaves, and there are many demons, even men want to ...... Well, the propaganda of "Shura" has become weird.
Is this the legendary "demonization"?
It is precisely because not many people have seen the real Shura Demon Clan, and all kinds of strange imaginations of the Moro Demon Clan have piled up, which makes everyone fearful, so that under the guidance of the high-level, they launched the most desperate, but also the hardest preparation for counterattack. Just like the Xuan factories that continue to appear everywhere in China, the whole of China is also like a machine, rumbling and running.
Even if everyone in the whole of China is busy, there are also people who are idle and panicked. And the most idle among them seems to be the person with the highest status and most respect in Shenzhou Huaxia...... A certain supreme beautiful girl.。
Although she is the empress of Huaxia, she is really idle, rolling around boringly in the Kun Palace all day long. What she needs to do is really limited, but because of her identity, she can't go out casually, occasionally patrolling, and a large number of people protect and follow, which is even less free than when she was a princess before. Even if the red butterfly and the little heron can still run around on a whim, every time she leaves the palace for a tour, even if it is just to go around Haojing, it must be a big move to work the people and hurt the money, and it feels like she is adding chaos to everyone.
In the spring, the extremely gorgeous meteor shower brought with it an unknown number of stars, and the astrolabe seemed to be much brighter because of it. These stars that flew into the astrolabe brought with them many ores and materials that were unprecedented in Shenzhou. During that period, Sister Xiaomeng, who returned to Nujishan, was so busy that she could barely see her figure.
Song Cao didn't know what Sister Xiaomeng and everyone were doing, only that it was a major event related to the war between Huaxia and Shura. Later, those stars fell to Mount Tai and its surroundings, which had already collapsed, and then, I don't know how many people were mobilized, and a large number of researchers, a large number of ink masters, Yan masters, and forgers rushed to Mount Tai to analyze, test, induct, and summarize...... The so-called "scientific" method is applied to the "stars" that fly from outside the sky.
Then there are more and more Xuan factories.
On that day, Xiaomeng and Chun Jianli came to the Kun Palace together, and Song Cao asked them what she could do to help?
Xiaomeng raised his hand, and his palm habitually swayed back and forth: "It's nothing, it's nothing, Baotong, you just need to stay in the palace in peace." ”
"Lest you help more and more and drag everyone back!" Red Butterfly adds damage to the side.
"You're the emperor, as long as you're here, you've already done us a great favor." Chun Jianli comforted Song Cao.
"It's like a good-looking vase, just look at it, don't move it, lest it break, and even such a little bit of value will be gone." Red Butterfly continues to deal additional damage.
"Bastard." Song Cao ran after the red butterfly.
"Brother Ning, did you seduce other girls in the Shura world?" Huangfu Lu asked from the side.
"It doesn't seem to be there at the moment!" Chun Jianli squinted, "It's Xiaomeng who seduced one." ”
"Sister Little Dream!" A girl with a full chest ran this way, and Xiaomeng's delicate body stiffened......

Although it is a hot season, the climate around Helan Mountain is much better than that in the hot south. A large number of troops are gathering here, spreading all over the mountains and fields, waving flags.
On the railroad tracks that stretched from the south, the steam locomotive headed south with seven carriages, and the cars were all loaded with fierce fire oil wagons. On the side of the railway, some people looked at these fierce oil trucks and thought to themselves, it seems that they have completely withdrawn.
In fact, it has not appeared for many years, and the fierce fire oil trucks that first emerged in the vicious battle between the Weiyuan army and the barbarian army have been eliminated at the fastest speed when artillery and muskets are rapidly equipped in the army. In the foreseeable and not-too-distant future, the only role of the fierce fire oil car is estimated to be to become a witness to the great changes of this era, and it will be placed in an exhibition hall for people to visit.
Rumble! On the other side of the mountain, an explosion sounded, and the explosion point was a splash of earth and rock. Lu Yunfei looked up at the dirt pit in the distance: "The momentum is good, but the power seems to be very limited." ”
"This kind of grenade, the actual lethality is actually not very good, but it is easy to carry, and it also has a considerable disturbing effect on the war horse, as far as we know, the cavalry is still the main force on the side of Shura. When the enemy is too close, it is too late to raise the gun, so throwing a grenade over first should be able to make no small difference. Zhang Zhichi flicked his beard, "Do you want to be easy to carry, want to be amazing, and want to have the effect of a sect-level ultimate?" How can there be such a good thing in the world? You're thinking too much. ”
Lu Yunfei shook the oval object in his hand, which happened to be grasped by a grenade, obviously designed to be thrown out conveniently. In fact, its power is not small, especially its size itself is not large, the development of Xuan-style explosives has indeed greatly improved the quality and power of various thermal weapons.
Zhang Zhichi continued: "On the side of Longhu Mountain, a standard throwing posture has been designed, so that the soldiers below can practice more. In addition, a batch of rocket artillery was delivered to the rear...... A small artillery cannon based on Xuan-style explosives that can be moved. Of course, it is not as powerful as a large artillery carriage, but it is better to be able to move quickly. The specific application on the battlefield still needs more research and practice on your side......"
Then he whispered: "The news from the side of the Shura Realm, I'm afraid that as soon as this winter passes, the domain gate that connects with the Shura Realm will be opened, and at that time, the Shura Demon Clan will invade in a big way." ”
Lu Yunfei raised his head and looked to the north, his face solemn. The day of the Great War came sooner than expected.
Zhang Zhichi said: "About the Heaven and Earth Gathering Xuan Cannon......"
Lu Yunfei resolutely said: "Don't worry, I will definitely build it before the war." ”
Zhang Zhichi nodded: "The generalissimo has already determined that there are indeed large buildings similar to the Heaven and Earth Gathering Cannon on the other side of the domain gate, and when the time comes, the generalissimo will also make some moves on that side, even so, our side must also step up, what is needed, just say." ”
Lu Yunfei didn't speak, just continued to look at the north, the shadow caused by the spatial fault was constantly pressing in this direction, and with every day and every hour, the pressure that made people breathless became heavier and heavier. In any case, this battle must be won, for yourself, for your family, for Huaxia, and for Shenzhou.
It's a big battle that we can't afford to lose.
The Helan Mountains are in full swing, and the Imperial City of Haojing has never stopped these days.
Since the empress moved to the female mountains in the astrolabe, the imperial city has become the center of the prime minister and ministers to deal with state affairs. All kinds of documents flew in like snowflakes, and flew out like snowflakes. The parliamentarians outside are sometimes noisy, but the concentration of power in essence makes the whole state apparatus work very quickly.
In the people, the ever-changing science and technology, metaphysics has also brought earth-shaking changes, and after the collapse of Confucianism and Taoism that had been pressing on the head of the whole of China for thousands of years, with the appearance of the article "Theory of Seeking Truth", the mind has been unprecedentedly liberated. There is no easy-to-learn method in the world, learn from things, and seek truth from facts...... Change has become the norm in the whole of China, and new ideas, new trends, and new things that will appear every day have created a new China.
On the rivers and lakes, the masters who have broken through to the supreme saint have also reached more than a dozen, although they are still not comparable to the Shura Demon Realm, but it is an unprecedented event in Chinese martial arts. Subsequently, with the meteor shower in the spring and the appearance of a large number of meteorites that fell on Mount Tai and its surroundings, the masters of the army began to replace the Xuan soldiers on a large scale...... A weapon with its own mystical energy.
The scorching heat slowly passed, and in June and July, the weather began to gradually cool, and the cold winter was not far away...... It's a thought on everyone's mind.
In any case, it cannot be defeated...... This is also the consciousness in the hearts of all Chinese people!
***
On the other side of the fault wall, the hollow desert of the Shura Realm, at this juncture, is also extremely hot.
The one who commanded the army sent by the various domains and lords was one of the seven permanent attendants, the "Demon Peng Destroying the Sun" Guan Baihong.
Among the seven permanent servants under the Supreme Seat, they are divided into "three destroyers" and "four envoys". Among them, the "Three Destroyers" are the "Great Infinite Heaven" Cesium Zhaolei, the "Black and White Demon King" Xihuang Zhao, and the "Demon Peng Destroying the Sun" Guanbaihong Three Demons. These three annihilations and four royals, only obey the orders of the Supreme Demon Emperor, and bear the Supreme Command Sword, so that as soon as the sword comes out, the demons of the Quartet dare not obey.
"Demon Peng Destroying the Sun" runs through Baihong, this time by the order of the Supreme Demon Emperor, with the Supreme Order Sword to control the demons and demon generals who come from all sides, and build a peerless magic weapon "Chaos Bell". Now that the "Chaos Bell" has been built, the day when the domain gate will open is getting closer and closer.
As one of the seven permanent attendants, Guan Baihong has a slender body, a murderous face, and the Supreme Order Sword he carries with him is flashing with golden light, domineering and terrifying. Under the stage in front, the war horses are galloping, flying sand in the air, boundless magic flames, and the sky is full of earth. With a roar of invariability, two war horses wearing dark iron soft armor approached quickly, and the demon general on the horse held a big knife and a spear, and with the staggered passage of the war horses, with a bang, the earth shook, and the wind and clouds changed color.
The generals in the distance applauded, and Guan Baihong said with a smile: "It is worthy of the two generals of the West Ghost Snake and the Empty Mulberry Domain, and they are really strong." ”
Behind him, there were three more generals, each of whom snorted, these three generals were the three generals who led the army in the main realm, and the two generals sent by the West Ghost Snake and the Empty Sang Domain boasted in public that they were not convinced.
Guan Baihong naturally heard their dissatisfied voices, but only smiled slightly. The army is assembled, although all of them are under the orders of him, who holds the Supreme Command Sword, but the internal is under the command of various departments, and there are many contradictions. And from his point of view, the contradictions among the various armies were actually conducive to his moderation and prestige.
Anyway, with the opening of the domain gate, what is coming is no matter what is a conquest and massacre. No one can resist the iron cavalry of the Shura army, every time the domain gate is opened, every new world is annexed, and the most troublesome thing is not the killing of the enemy, but the internal struggle for power and profit caused by the internal turf and battle for merit.
"It's the same this time." He thought to himself, "Judging by all indications, the world that is about to open is as weak as ants, and there is no need to send such a large number of soldiers. As the Supreme said, it is good for everyone to get together to maintain the stability of the entire Shura realm. If you don't let everyone bite the meat from the prey, they will bite the meat from their own people, and occasionally bite, which is not a big problem, but it is also a big trouble. When the door of this domain is opened, a large amount of land and a large number of slaves are divided, and these people will be able to live quietly for a while. ”
"Destroyer!" A Shura soldier stepped forward to the stage, "The Demon Destruction Demon Sect has formed an Extermination Corps, led by the Young Sect Master of Extermination, who came to obey the orders of the Exterminator. ”
