Volume 4: The Eventful Years Chapter 178: The Past Is Like Smoke [II]

However, today's country is in an awkward position, surrounded by enemies on all sides, and is very passive in its strategic posture. It may be stronger than any of the other four nations, but it is no match for the other two countries to attack together. One of the most important reasons is that it has lost its strategic depth of bordering the wilderness around Ba Yuan, and it is surrounded by national border fronts on all sides, and it does not have such a vast rear.

The other four of the five countries of Pakistan, whoever wants to unify Bayuan. The first step must also be the annexation of the country of Bamuro. This creates a very delicate balance, no matter which of the four countries takes the initiative to attack the Bamur country, the other three countries will not want it to succeed, because that would mean that one country in the country will dominate the country, and then threaten the existence of the other countries.

If any of the four countries takes the initiative to attack the Bamuro country, it will not receive support from the other countries. However, if the country of Bamuro attacks one of its neighbors in turn and tries to annex it to open up strategic depth, it will also be attacked by other countries. This makes it impossible for its strategy to succeed, which is why it is in today's stalemate.

In the view of fate, if the strife in the Pakistan Plains resumes, the goal of all countries is to unify the Ba Yuan. Then the most promising success is still Bamurokuni. If the country of Ba Muru got the help of Meng Yingqiu, before the other countries could react, they would destroy one of the countries of the Xiang Chamber or the Zheng Chamber as quickly as possible, and they would have succeeded in the first step. The second step is to accumulate strength and destroy another country, and to unify these three countries is a great trend.

Why can't you choose to attack the Fan or the Silk Kingdom first? Chiwangqiu is located on the easternmost edge of Ba Yuan, at the junction of the Fan and Pa Mu kingdoms, and does not border the other three kingdoms in Ba Yuan.

I think that at the beginning, both the Fan State and the Silk State had sent an army to attack the tribal land of the subject Chiwangqiu, but they were beaten badly by the Baifang clan led by Xuansha, and they have obeyed Chiwangqiu all these years, and Xuansha has also become famous.

Chiwangqiu must not want to see that a force has appeared on Ba Yuan, which is enough to challenge and weaken its position. If the Bamuro Kingdom first attacked the Fan Muro Kingdom or the Silk Country first, it would inevitably encounter Chiwangqiu head-on, and it would be impossible to succeed. It will then be attacked by the rest of the country, and its strategic plan is doomed to failure, and perhaps the worst outcome will be divided among the other four powers.

This is the judgment of fate on the future dispute situation of the five kingdoms of Bayuan, and the reason why she used divine thoughts instead of saying it directly is also because it involves Chiwangqiu.

Everyone has their own position, and the reason why Fate has such a view is also because Meng Yingqiu is located at the junction of the three kingdoms of Ba Room, Zheng Room, and Xiang Room. It also played a crucial role in the conquest between the three countries.

In the mind of fate, the so-called power that can challenge or replace the status of Chiwangqiu may not refer to the unified country of Pakistan, but to the sacred mountain Meng Yingqiu, which will be worshiped by the whole country in the future. Elder Qingxia was her most trusted confidant, so she mentioned this foresight to her.

Qingxia said with some astonishment: "The monarch of the Ba room country is sick and has no strength left, and it will take a while for the new monarch to control the situation in the country after he succeeds to the throne." And the Prime Minister is in the prime of life, and has been planning for this matter for many years, do you think that he cannot succeed?"

Mingsha sneered: "What kind of plan is he called? Everyone knows that he has this ambition for a long time, and if he takes the initiative to attack the Bamuro country, it is impossible to get support from other countries, and even if there is a small victory for a while, it will be difficult to hold on for a long time." If Bamuro can turn the situation around with a surprise attack, it will be a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation to destroy the Somuro country.

And among the two countries of Zheng and Xiang, if you choose one better. There is a Wufu Hill in the south of the Zheng Dynasty, and if the attitude of the sword is not clear, it is not good to attack rashly. In comparison, unless the Bamuro country does not want to unify the Ba Yuan, the first thing to destroy is the other Xiangmuro country!"

Qingxia: "The monarch of the Xiangmuro may understand his own situation, so he will think of making a move first." And over the years, he has also been enlisting Meng Yingqiu's support. ”

He said coldly: "If you want our support, it depends on whether he is qualified or not! Although he is not wrong in governing the country, and he also has some strategies in his chest, he is not an amazing talent, and what is even more fatal is that there is no successor in the country. Although there are more than a dozen sons, none of them are outstanding in virtue and talent, and even waste such as Miyaliang was actually an important candidate to inherit the throne.

I've seen this person, it's a violent death, don't look at him now, but he won't be able to jump for a few years. As a monarch for more than 20 years, he was bent on planning his own aspirations, but he failed to cultivate a successor. Not to mention that he can't unify Ba Yuan, even if he completes his volunteer in his lifetime, what's the use, and when he dies, will he split the country again?"

Qingxia: "The new monarch of the Keba Muro Kingdom is not in charge, and what will happen after he succeeds to the throne is also unknown. ”

He smiled and said: "In the Xiangmu country, can someone say a good word about Gongliang? And in the country of Bamu, has someone ever said a bad word about Shaowu? Gongliang often drives in and out of the border gates, and no one knows his whereabouts in the past three years, has there ever been a trace of indulgence?"

Qingxia suddenly said: "Therefore, the sect master hopes that Shaowu will inherit the throne, and in the future, he will use his hand to fulfill your great wish, and become the god of national sacrifice in the entire Ba Yuan, just like Emperor Taihao, not just replace Chiwangqiu." ...... If Chiwangqiu Bai Sha knew this, he probably wouldn't be happy. ”

Fatesha sneered again, "I never wanted to make Baisha happy. He came to Meng Yingqiu back then and made an appointment with me to try the method, thinking that I was the successor of the Shennong Heavenly Emperor's great weapon technique, but unfortunately he miscalculated, and the secret method I cultivated had nothing to do with the Shennong Heavenly Emperor. He passed on the recipe to me as promised, and made me vow not to pass it on to anyone else, and I also obtained a unique secret method that I was good at.

Before he had obtained the Great Technique, he had taken away all the ripe beads here. If it weren't for the fact that the place where Lizhu grew was too special, he couldn't transplant it to Chiwang Hill, and I'm afraid he would even want to dig up one or two trees. The Xuangong I am cultivating needs the help of the breath of the Separation Bead here, which is obviously hindering my progress. And what is the use of such a secret method as the Swallowing Technique for myself?

After so many years, these three trees have returned to their original flourishing, otherwise, I may have turned into a complete realm today. Seeing these three immortal elixirs, will I be grateful to Bai Sha? I am not his opponent yet, but with the momentum of the Ba Yuan dispute, Meng Yingqiu will not be able to make Chiwangqiu bow down in the future!"

Qingxia bowed and said, "I hope to see the day when the sect master will realize his great wish as soon as possible." ...... What else does the sect master have to say to the little gentleman who appeared recently?"

Fateful looked at the three Lizhu trees, and said with some distraction: "Gong Liang has only seen me once, and it is here. At that time, he was only an eighteen-year-old boy, and his cultivation had just broken through the second realm, and he was under the Lizhu tree, I wanted to see how this person would be affected?

When he saw me, he fell into a very interesting illusion under the tree, but when he came back to consciousness and left, he never realized that it was actually a self-generated illusion in his mind, and I found him very boring. I wonder if the little gentleman who killed him was funny or boring?"

Qingxia said: "I heard that the little gentleman is a boy who is about to become an adult, and he is already admired by the people in the Xiangmuro country. He is young and healthy, and he is handsome, and the sect master may be interested. ”

He smiled and said, "Oh, I'm already interested, and when I hear you say this, I'm even more interested, if he is a disciple of Chiwangqiu Xingsha, he must be interested!

If someone met him, he told him that the matter of Gong Liang was rude to Meng Yingqiu's disciples, but fortunately he had superb means to resolve it calmly. Meng Yingqiu couldn't ask anything for this, and wanted to give him an immortal elixir bead to show his apologies and gratitude. But if I want to ask him to go up to Meng Yingqiu to pick it himself, I would like to see if he has the guts?"

Qingxia covered her mouth and smiled: "If he doesn't have this courage, Xingsha will no longer value it, and it will be difficult to become a great weapon in Chiwangqiu in the future." If he comes, it will be the most interesting thing for the most outstanding personal disciple of the Star Sha, but his heart is broken by you, the sect master. ”

Listening to her tone, it seems that as long as the little gentleman comes here and sees the fate under the Lizhu tree, he will inevitably fall in love with the fate, love her unforgettable, and long to be close to her and get her favor. Fateful Evil may not be Bai Sha's opponent, but if you want to charm a young disciple under the Xingsha Sect, it is not a matter of being able to catch it.

......

Baoyu, who was walking on the road, of course would not know that the Lord of Meng Yingqiu had given such an order, and he actually wanted to give him an immortal elixir pearl. And let him take it with his own hands. If this news spreads, I don't know how many others will be envied, and climbing Meng Yingqiu to meet with Fatesha himself, in the eyes of many people, it is more enviable than getting an immortal elixir.

If it weren't for the impersonation and fraud, Meng Yingqiu and his fate would never have been deceived, and there would be many people in this world crying and shouting that they were the little gentleman, and they would rush to Meng Yingqiu. But Baoyu himself is probably the least tempted person in this world by the immortal elixir. And he just wanted to stay away from Meng Yingqiu's sphere of influence at this time.

Meng Yingqiu only ordered the disciples who were traveling outside to pay attention to the traces of Mr. Xiao, and if they encountered him, they would wear a message, and did not order to track them down. It also took a long time for the news to spread from one disciple to another, and no one in Meng Yingqiu's disciples kept going south like Baoyu.

Baoyu "walked" far faster than the news, and no one in the places he passed had heard of it. No one paid any attention to him.

After passing through a city outline from Laiwangqiu City, and continuing southward, the former convenience is not far from the country of Bamuro. The outlines of the villages and walled cities he saw along the way were all a scene of living and working in peace and contentment, as if they were far away from the turbulent and complex disputes on the Ba Yuan, and the people's expressions were comfortable and calm, and it seemed that the monarch of the Ba Dynasty had governed the territory very well.

As we approached the capital. The scenery is different, and Baoyu even has a vague sense of déjà vu, and he recalls the situation when he walked in the territory of Feihong City. It's not that the people in this area are not rich, but it's a mountainous place, and the city of Batu is surrounded by mountains. Many of the surrounding villages are not connected to the city, but are scattered on the plains or gentle slopes between the mountains.

From Batu City, there are many highways that pass through the surrounding mountains and passes, leading to all parts of the country. Mountains in the middle of Ba Yuan. Of course, it is far from being compared with the majestic mountains that stretch far and wide on the edge of the wilderness, but many places are also very high and steep, with rocky ravines and ancient trees towering to the sky, if you want to find deep mountains and dense forests, and inaccessible places, there are many around the national capital.

Why did the country of Ba build its capital in this place? Because it was the place where the founding king of the country of Ba first built the capital. Because it is located in the fertile plain in the center of Ba Yuan, many places have no danger to defend, and the national capital is located. It is necessary to have the strategic depth and the advantages of the terrain on a local scale.

Ba Yuan, which is thousands of miles in circumference, is surrounded by steep and majestic wild mountains, like a huge basin, and there are many mountains in the basin. The founding monarch of the year came to this fertile plain in the middle of the basin. He decided to lead his people to settle here. And when he entered the plain, there was a place surrounded by mountains, and when he saw three large hills at the water's edge, he put his staff under the mounds, and ordered the construction of a capital on them.

More than 300 years after the founding of the country, Pakistan was in civil strife, and the capital also experienced a catastrophe. However, when the country of Bamur was in power, it still chose to build its capital on this ruin, because it was really impossible to find a more defensible and difficult terrain in the territory of the country than here, and secondly, the country of Bamuro claimed to inherit the orthodoxy of Pakistan, so that it could also occupy the name of righteousness.

After more than 100 years of operation in the Bamu Kingdom, a more magnificent Batu Castle was built on the ruins.

As he approached Badu City, Baoyu once again left the main road and entered the mountains, because he wanted to find a secluded place to practice the secret magic he had recently realized. In the more than three months that he followed Cangjie's predecessors, Baoyu learned too many things, and he was in the process of thinking and digesting all the way, and he did not naturally pay attention to the texture of everything in heaven and earth when he walked.

But there was another thing that was delayed. Before he met Cangjie, he was killing the horse, breaking off its horn and being injured by it, which silver horn held all day, and he had been experiencing the state of flesh and blood and spirit reciprocity. Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible to have such a chance, and there was a moment when Baoyu and the horse seemed to be one and the same.

When he killed Gong Liang with a silver horn, he also had an indescribable feeling that the magic weapon he had just received was so easy to control. It grew in the flesh and blood of the horse, condensed with its natural powers, and finally became a magic weapon in Baoyu's hands. When the magic weapon is integrated with the body and mind, it is like a part of yourself, but for the magic weapon that you are not familiar with, you still need to experience and master the process if you want to freely use its magical powers.

But as soon as this magic weapon was sold, Baoyu was inexplicably so familiar, as if it had always been a part of himself, which was related to the unique state he had felt physically and mentally, so he wanted to enter the mountains and wilderness to find a quiet place to retreat and comprehend. Baoyu felt more and more that the mountain god asked him to take Xiao Tian with him, thinking about how thoughtful he was, he needed such a Dharma protector spirit dog by his side when he was in retreat.

Cangjie once said that everything in the world has its "texture", and people's body and mind are also a world, does it also have its "texture" of growth and operation?

Now Baoyu has re-entered the experience of the first realm, feeling an unprecedented mystery, as if a strange beast that has opened the beginning of spiritual wisdom. Of course, Baoyu didn't really become a horse, but it seemed to have fused the talent of the strange beast, and could simulate and master the operation of its divine energy.

At the beginning, he still held the silver horn in his hand, and then he simply put down the silver horn and threw it to Xiao Tian to play with. By the time Baoyu finished the retreat, it was already two months later. On this day, Baoyu stood at the foot of the cliff and pointed ahead, and a flash of lightning shot out from the palm of his hand, splitting the rock, leaving radial burning marks.

Being able to perform this spell meant that he didn't have to use the magic of the silver horn to simulate or master the horse's natural powers. Xiaotian next to him was startled, jumped up and screamed several times. Baoyu was playful, and turned around and shouted, "Xiaotian, be careful!"

Before the words fell, Xiao Tian saw Baoyu wave his sleeves and conjure up a horse out of thin air, and the bright silver horns stretched forward with a trace of electric light, rushing towards it. This horse does not exist, but the mana is condensed to the point that it can manifest its shape, and the electric light on the silver horn is even more fake, which is equivalent to driving a horse to fight in the fighting method.

Xiao Tian knew that he was not the opponent of the strange beast, let alone the opponent of Baoyu who conjured up this horse, so he turned his head and ran away with a startled startle. Xiao Tian didn't run slowly, but the horse was faster, it was made of Baoyu's mana, and the speed was as fast as the magic weapon he hit, and it even flew into the air without touching his feet.

Xiao Tian was also clever, very flexible in a flash, ran back in a circle, and hid behind Baoyu with his tail clipped, and the horse rushed towards Baoyu himself. Baoyu raised a palm, and the horse crashed in front of him and disappeared, as if it had become smaller out of thin air, and burrowed into his palm or sleeve.

If other monks saw this scene, they would definitely think that this was a core disciple of Chiwangqiu, who was cultivating the Swallowing Technique. Although his secret method of swallowing form has not yet been cultivated, his technique is also pure and skillful and amazingly powerful. Not all Chiwangqiu disciples can practice the Swallowing Technique, only the core disciples with good comprehension and root tools are qualified to obtain this secret method, otherwise it will be difficult to learn it.

If Baoyu took out the token of Xingsha and then used such a magical power, then the monks of all factions in Bayuan would undoubtedly think that he must be Xingsha's personal disciple.

But Baoyu himself didn't know this, and he didn't know what the Swallowing Technique was, which was just a wonderful method that he realized by chance and by chance. When no one comes out to tease the dog, he also thinks it's funny.

If Bai Sha used the Swallowing Technique, then the scene of the tiger roaring and shaking the mountain and the flying dragon filling the sky is estimated that few people in Bayuan have seen it, or can survive if they see it, and Baoyu will certainly not know it.

The mountain god taught Baoyu a lot of things, but he just didn't teach him the specific secret method of cultivation, Baoyu's cultivation is self-realization, the foundation of cultivation is solid and pure, and there is no prejudice in the heart, and the practice is naturally in line with the avenue. After retreating and realizing that Xuantong had refined such a supernatural spell, he was already very satisfied.
