Chapter 323 Lingtai Temple counts
Travel back in time?
While perceiving this possibility, Cao Yang and the others also wondered if their classmates were deliberately fooling them.
But the battlefield that has just ended is still filled with a thick bloody atmosphere. Bloodstains, remnants, battle flags...... None of this can be faked.
Coupled with the laws of heaven and earth perceived at this moment, it undoubtedly told them that this place was indeed no longer the later Xia Kingdom.
Therefore, the world law of this era is different from the "Heavenly Dao" of their time.
"In this era, the Heavenly Dao veins are strange and unpredictable, as if they are covered by a turbid fog. β
Therefore, the two of them could not manipulate the aura of heaven and earth like their arms and fingers like in later generations.
Of course, the sun that dominates the sky is also the most favorable proof. In their time, there was more than just a sun in the sky!
"What are the names of the two of you, which unit?" the chief looked at the two of them, and wondered, "What about your military badges? Also, why don't you wear armor?"
"This chief, we are both from Los Angeles. Well, sneaking over. Yang Shang was in a hurry and came up with an excuse.
"The students over there in Los Angeles?"
"Yes, yes, Shi Chang is right. β
At present, the military system used by the Xia State is modeled after the homeland.
Five people and one team, there is a captain, two teams and one team, there is a captain, two teams and one team, there is a commander. Sometimes, the tun chief is also called the "captain" and manages a crowd of 100 people.
Ertun is a song, and the official position is a military marquis. The five songs are one, with a school captain and a management of an army of 1,000 people. Ten generals are generals, that is, a general of 10,000 people.
However, with the current strength of the Xia State, if you don't count the number of slave troops, only from the perspective of the descendants of the ancestors, there are at most two generals. Among them, Yang Ke, as the monarch, also has to directly govern some of his own soldiers.
No way, the population of this era is too precious.
Shi Chang looked at the two, and indeed the two of them were childish, not like real soldiers.
"Sneaking here, I'm afraid I didn't hear about the demons, and I plan to come over to show my means?" Shi Chang kept shaking his head: "These little young people are really newborn calves - too tender." β
Cao saw that he believed it a little, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.
If we really travel through the times, then we must not change the things of this era. In other words, we cannot interfere in the world, let alone reveal our identity. So, we have to find a way to get an identity in L.A., and then find a way to return to our time.
Suddenlyβ
Not far away, there was a sound of rustling.
"Not good, enemy attack!"
Hearing that something was wrong, the soldiers hurriedly showed their weapons.
Shi Chang scolded the two: "What are you two still doing in a daze, don't hurry up and prepare!"
Cao Shen and the others reacted, picked up spears and iron swords from the ground casually, and also took a posture in that direction.
Not far away, two three-meter-tall orange sarcomas slowly wriggled and devoured the corpses on the battlefield. And next to it was a three-armed flame demon shrouded in flames.
"It's the Nine-Eyed Insect Demon and the Three-Armed Flame Demon!" Shi Chang's face was solemn: "The insect demon is slow, let's deal with the fire demon first." β
The adult three-armed flame demon has the strength of no less than the three dings. And with the two insect demons, I'm afraid it is not inferior to the power of Siding.
Seeing the Flame Demon and the Insect Demon, Yang Shang was truly sure at this moment: the two of them had really come to the past.
His brain was spinning rapidly: in our time, these two kinds of demons were extinct. It seems that this is indeed the past. The combination of the fire demon and the insect demon, I remember mentioning it in the history books, is a strategy used by the demons in the early days. The Nine Eyes of the Insect Demon can shoot death, but they have low intelligence and need to be controlled by the Fire Demon. Their coordinated attacks can be compared to the power of the four tripods, similar to me. But I don't have pen and paper around me, so it's hard to use the power of poetry.
So, he looked at Cao Shen beside him.
"Find a way to confuse the other party's sight, I'll attack and kill. β
"Understood. Cao Shen looked at the three demons who were approaching intently. His left hand was hidden in his sleeve, secretly sealing, causing a white mist to envelop everyone.
In later generations, the Xia State had four veins of the art of war, and what Cao Shen learned was the "Yin and Yang of Soldiers". This vein pays attention to taking advantage of the time and place to construct a special environment suitable for one's own army. Generally, everyone who studies the art of war in this vein tries to integrate the technique. Use magic to manipulate the storm and fog, and move mountains and seas to increase your advantage.
The thick fog filled the battlefield, and everyone had this opportunity to breathe, and even the chief shouted: "Hurry up!
"No!" Yang Shang took advantage of the thick fog to cover up and rushed towards the other party's fire demon.
Demons, a race created by the god of the night. Born from the earth's fierce evil spirit, it lives in the ghost world, and the human races such as the human race and the elf race are endless.
In this day and age, as creatures of the Goddess of the Nether, they are only a fledgling race. A passage opened in the southern part of the Xia Kingdom kept pouring out, clashing with the Xia army.
But five hundred years later, the characteristics of these demons have long been controlled by the Xia Kingdom.
In the three hundred and twentieth year of the Xia calendar, the Yang family gave birth to an emperor with great talent. With the support of the sun god, Xia Guo followed the passage of the demon world into the other world and exterminated the thirteen demon races of the other party.
The Nine-Eyed Worm Demon, who specializes in deathlight and venom, and the Three-Armed Flame Demon, who specializes in poisonous smoke and flame attacks, have long been extinct.
"The weakness of the Nine-Eyed Demon Worm is not in the eyes, but in the nose in the center of the nine-eyed face. There is a meridian behind the nose that connects the nine eyes, and as long as it pierces the nostrils, it can blind the nine eyes and make them lose their combat effectiveness. β
"The weakness of the Three-Armed Flame Demon is in the heart. Piercing the heart, the demonic fire in the core of the fire demon is naturally extinguished. β
"Cao Shen's dense fog is immortal art, which can shield the perception of demons. In the fog, they can't detect my location, so-"
Thinking back to the information in Taixue, Yang Shang accelerated again, running the ancestral mantra, and a flame divine power emerged from the short sword......
"This guy!" the chief cursed, but beckoned his companion to come up and help. After Yang Shang blinded the Nine-Eyed Insect Demon, they went up to help stab the Insect Demon to death. Then join forces to slay the fire demon.
At this time, Shi Chang breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his head to look at Cao Shen, who was constantly manipulating the dense fog behind him to interfere with the fire demon's vision: "Is the fog you use Taoist or witchcraft?" It seems that there is a bit of a 'soldier yin and yang' path. β
"Bing Yin Yang? Brother Shi Chang also knows the faction of the Bing family?"
"Don't look at my brother, I'm a big boss. But during this time, I didn't fall once in the temple calculation of the Spirit Palace. Seeing the death of the devil, Shi Chang laughed heartily: "Several generals have counted many rounds in the Lingtai Temple, and the results are already coming out now." Bing Yin and Yang said, Huo Da Sima had already shown his power before. β
Lingtai temple counts?
Cao Shen and Yang Shang's hearts shook.
Lingtai Temple is an important event related to the foundation of the military family in the records of the Xia Kingdom in later generations. It is also a compulsory question for the exam, such as what is the result of the temple calculation, how many games are conducted, when is the time, etc.
It is said that in the early days of the Xia Kingdom, the literature on the art of war in his homeland led to a conflict of ideas on the art of war, and it was difficult to really learn and apply it because he did not adapt to the local environment.
Therefore, the emperor ordered the generals of the homeland to carry out the Lingtai temple calculation, determine the theory of the four veins of the soldiers by the method of military deduction, and sort out many military works. In the same way, among these four veins, there are also the four cultivation methods of the soldiers.
Taixue taught the doctrine of the Hundred Schools, and both Cao Shen and Yang Shang had been exposed to the idea of soldiers. One studies the yin and yang of soldiers, and the other studies military strategy. Hearing that such a big thing as "Lingtai Temple Calculation" was going on, he couldn't suppress his excitement, and even left the purpose and situation of the two of them behind.
"Brother, is the temple still going on?"
"You two are from Los Angeles, you should know better than me, right?"
"Ah, the two of us came out privately, and we got lost on the road for a while, I don't know what time the temple has played?"
"I heard that the thirty-second game is going to start. When I'm done clearing the battlefield, I'm going to go back and watch. β
Thirty-two rounds!
It's almost over!
The two of them couldn't wait even more, patted their chests and agreed, and helped Shi Chang clean up the battlefield together.
Not to mention, under the detection of the two people's magic, a seriously injured person with a few wisps of breath was indeed found in a pile of corpses.
The wounded man was unconscious and happened to be buried under the position where Cao Shen had crossed. They carried him out and hurried him to the camp.
But at the moment, the military doctors in the camp are busy. Seeing the wounded man who was almost dying, he hurriedly said: "My medical skills are shallow, so I can't save him." Hurry back to Los Angeles through the teleportation array, and ask the two seniors of the Medicine King Hall to take action. β
In the center of the barracks, there is a purple-filled spiritual platform. This platform is three zhang long and three zhang wide, built of white jade, and is a teleportation array built by the wizards of the Xia Kingdom.
Shi Chang took two subordinates, together with Cao Shen and Yang Shang, and carried the wounded into the mourning platform. The wizard in charge of teleportation next to him immediately began to chant the incantation.
Cao Shen and the others looked curious, looking left and right in the teleportation platform.
In later generations, Xia Kingdom's technology developed rapidly, but the technology related to space teleportation was hidden. According to the Taixue teachers, this is because the mythological era has ended, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has passed, making it impossible to arrange such a lossy formation as the teleportation platform for a long time.
"In our day, teleporters were available in every big city. But they are all in a sealed state, and they are not allowed to open on weekdays, except during wartime. β
It's like now, the army is accompanying the arrangement of the teleporter, I don't know how convenient it is.
Purple qi filled the spiritual platform, and everyone moved the space in a piece of light. After a few seconds of waiting in the dark, a bright golden light appeared in front of Cao Shen and the others.
Looking at the magnificent and solemn palace outside, Cao Shen's face showed a shocked look.
In the distance, there are a number of divine light platforms, and each divine light symbolizes a god. These altars are scattered throughout the palace, and in the center of the palace complex there are three exquisite and gorgeous palaces arranged in a line.
Above these three temples, there is an endless sea of clouds with endless glow and haze.
"Is this the Spirit Palace of five hundred years ago?"
The Spirit Palace, where the emperor lived in the early years, was also the place where witchcraft arose. The Yongle Hall, the head of the three halls in the middle, is said to be the original residence of the emperor.
"Are you transporting the wounded?" a pleasant voice sounded from outside the portal, and everyone turned their heads to see a shrine maiden overhauling the circle outside the platform.
Everyone came out of the teleportation array, and Shi Chang stepped forward and bowed: "Your Excellency Cui Jing." β
Cui Jing, the Divine Mother of the Heavenly Witch Sect?
Yang Shang raised his head sharply and looked at the woman outside the altar.
At this moment, Cui Jing does not have the prestige of later generations. In the eyes of the people, Cui Jing is a powerful witch, but her status in the Spirit Palace may not rank in the top ten. is just one of His Royal Highness Yu Yuan's deputies when he is busy, and he is a witch who is more valued by His Highness the National God.
But Cao Shen is different.
Coming from later generations, of course they knew Cui Jing's deeds.
There is a holy immortal palace in the immortal road, which is said to be established by Zhao Zhiwen, a real person of Liangyi, and is the orthodoxy of the immortal road. However, because of a split in the witch cult, the holy land of the witch cult was divided into three, the Taibutai worshiped by the royal family, the witch temple that worshiped the gods of the Xia Kingdom, and the Tianwu sect that studied the way of the witch gods.
It is rumored that the witchcraft is divided. It was caused by the Divine Mother Cui Jing and several witch sect leaders fighting each other.
Cui Jing is not only the leader of the Heavenly Witch Sect, but also the fuse of the witch sect's split!
In the era of Cao Shen and the others, it was rumored that Cui Jing was a great predecessor who was retributive and had outstanding strength.
"You two, why haven't I seen each other?"
Cui Jing noticed the gaze of the two, and her beautiful eyes swept over the two.
Suddenly, the hearts of the two of them froze, as if they were completely seen through by the witch's gaze.
Cui Jing's eyes showed a different color, and she asked in surprise: "The spiritual power in your body is very strong, where did you practice?"
Although the current Xia Kingdom is different from ten years ago, such a young Siding monk is still rare.
"The two of them seem to be students of the Academy. Shi Chang explained: "They were curious about the demons, and they secretly ran out of the city, and they happened to be brought back by me. β
"Xue Gong?" Cui Jing stretched out his hand and grabbed a wisp of Wen Qi from Yang Shang and the others. Especially Yang Shang, because he practiced Cangjie's poetry method, he condensed a strong ink and literary atmosphere.
The ink-colored Xuan Qi circulated in Cui Jing's palm, and the sound of reading aloud was faintly heard.
"It is indeed the door of His Royal Highness Emperor Shi. Cui Jing's guard relaxed slightly, but only slightly. With this witch's scheming and prudence, she won't be as easy to deceive as Shichang.
She quietly observed the two, and Yang Shang secretly complained in her heart. If this big guy invites His Royal Highness Emperor Shi here, the lies of the two of us will be exposed immediately.
At this time, Cao Shen hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, it is important to save people. I'm afraid this brother won't last long!"
On the stretcher, the seriously wounded soldier gradually lost his breath.
Cui Jing waved his hand and shot out emerald light to cover the soldier and stabilize his injuries: "He will hand it over to me, and I will send someone to send him to the Medicine King Palace." As for you ......"
Sure enough, couldn't this matter dispel her vigilance?
The two of them smiled bitterly in their hearts, Cao Shen had already begun to calculate, should he directly find a way to find a big guy and reveal the identities of the two?
Well, of course, Cui Jing is absolutely not credible.
But from the future, will anyone believe it?
"Your Excellency. Shi Chang spoke: "We came back in a hurry, and we don't plan to return to the barracks immediately." I want to see the results before going back. β
"This temple is almost over, and there is still about half an hour?" Cui Jing retracted his suspicious gaze and said to Shi Chang: "You go quickly." Don't delay, go early and return early, you can't leave the barracks casually. β
"It's okay, I reported it specifically. Besides, I'm a logistical clean-up of the battlefield, and I've just finished my busy work, so I can't let our group go out again in half an hour, right?"
He glanced at Cao Shen and the others, and led everyone to the temple hall together.
Cui Jing wanted to investigate the origin of Cao Shen and the others, because from the clothes of the two, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Although it is the clothing and ornamentation of the Xia Kingdom, those clothes feel like they have never been seen before, and they are a little surprised by the current national wear.
Seeing them go to the temple venue, Cui Jing temporarily put her mind at ease.
"There are Your Highnesses at the venue, even if these two people have problems, they will be arrested on the spot. β
Cui Jing looked at the wounded people left behind, her face was different, and she actually was: "Is it Cao Ling, this kid?"
Cui Jing knows this injured man, this person has a good relationship with Huo Quai, and he has not yet reached the crown. He came to Huo Quai's illness last year and begged to go out to fight, but he didn't expect to be seriously injured here.
Cui Jing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent someone to send Cao Ling to the Medicine King Palace.
On the other side, Cao Shen and Yang Shang, under the leadership of Shi Chang, went to the Nine Chapters Spiritual Platform at the temple calculation venue.
But the closer he got here, the more difficult it became in Cao Shen's heart to control himself.
Lingtai Temple counts, this is a military event presided over by the emperor himself. In other words, not only Huo Dasima, General Meng Tian, Wu Anjun, Wei Yugong, and General Pagoda, but also the emperor himself is here.
Thinking that he was named "the son of the emperor", Cao Shen actually had the idea of not daring to go and not daring to meet the emperor.
