Mo Tianxie did not sweep the rivers and lakes as soon as he grasped the power of the sect as Huo Yuanzhen imagined, and the entire Tianshan Demon Sect was unusually calm, and even many people did not know that Mo Tianxie had become the sect leader again.

But Huo Yuanzhen understood that Mo Tianxie took great pains to regain the position of sect leader, and he definitely didn't want to just sit still, this person's ambition was unimaginable, which could be seen from his early determination to surpass Ding Buji.

Maybe he was integrating the internal forces of the Demon Sect, or maybe there were still unstable factors that had not been dealt with properly, in short, such peaceful days would not last forever.

But as far as the Shaolin Temple is concerned, now is the best time.

Huo Yuanzhen knew that he must make Shaolin the number one in the world, and he was afraid that one day he would confront Mo Tianxie, but before that, Shaolin and the Demon Sect were not enemies.

After bringing Murong Qiuyu back, Huo Yuanzhen began to devote himself to cultivation again.

Now the development momentum of Shaolin is good, there are no enemies on the rivers and lakes, and Huo Yuanzhen basically doesn't have to worry about ordinary things, everything is on track, the monks perform their duties, everyone is self-disciplined, and there is no chaos in other rivers and lakes.

Huo Yuanzhen's top priority now is to improve and improve, and progress and progress.

Although he has learned the Dafa of Absorbing Stars, cultivated the internal force of the Northern Underworld, and learned the Ice Palm from the Holy Fire Order, these martial arts basically cannot be used.

Just as Huo Yuanzhen couldn't use martial arts with obvious Shaolin characteristics after putting on makeup, he couldn't easily use non-Shaolin martial arts after removing his disguise.

After all, as the abbot, he still has to play an exemplary role, and everything is based on the interests of Shaolin.

From the middle of December just after returning to Shaolin, until the end of December, except for the first day to stay with Ning Wanjun and them for one night, Huo Yuanzhen never left the abbot's courtyard again.

Nearly ten days of sleepless cultivation made Huo Yuanzhen's internal strength make great progress again.

The three-point yin and yang air mass in the body has reached a diameter of one meter four.

Huo Yuanzhen is completely cultivating Tong Zi Gong, because the progress of the Northern Shen Gong can absorb the opponent's skills, if he deliberately cultivates it is not beautiful, he will use his mind on Tong Zi Gong, after these days of cultivation, Tong Zi Gong has gone half of the road from the early stage of the congenital to the middle of the congenital stage.

Huo Yuanzhen estimated that if he did not break through to the innate in the Northern Underworld, the diameter of the three-point yin and yang qi in his body would reach: when he reached the middle stage of the innate level, it would be when his Tongzi Gong reached the middle stage of the innate stage.

The joy of cultivation made Huo Yuanzhen almost forget about other things, and it wasn't until December 22 that Huo Yuanzhen stopped cultivating because of an unexpected news that interrupted him.

......

The Northwest Territories stand alone!

The Northwest side of the Dulu is not news, the Northwest General Ma Daoyuan has been fighting with the imperial court for a while, and the imperial court has always had no way to take the northwest, the tug-of-war between the two sides is exhausted, and the endless war quagmire has exhausted everyone's enthusiasm.

After Zhao Wukui became the emperor, he failed to reverse this unfavorable situation, because winter is coming, the northwest region is cold, and everyone thinks that this battle will not end before winter, so everything is done by Yuan Jing, and he looks forward to the early arrival of winter, so that everyone can rest.

In ancient times, wars were customary, and generally in winter, there would be an automatic truce, because the winter was cold, the roads were difficult, and the logistics supply was difficult.

Even Zhao Wukui himself thinks that there will be no results before winter, and he will only have to wait until next spring to bloom before making plans.

Winter came, it snowed, the two sides automatically truce, and the imperial court's expeditionary army also automatically stopped, stationed in the only city in the Hexi region that was still controlled by the imperial court, Liangzhou City. ..., at the beginning, the imperial army was still on guard against the sneak attack of Ma Daoyuan's army, but as time went by, it was the end of December, and seeing that it was a new year, people were no longer vigilant.

On December 18, Ma Daoyuan sent an army to attack Liangzhou City at night, and cooperated with the fine workers in the city to conquer Liangzhou in one fell swoop, and annihilated all the 100,000 troops of the imperial court to conquer the west.

The troops were in the barracks, told to clear the snow and hoard hay, but the snow was swept away and set on fire in the middle of the night.

There is no snow to extinguish the fire, and there is dry grass everywhere, countless people died in the fire, and the only exit is to be firmly guarded by the enemy, under the leadership of some martial arts masters, they slaughtered, and in just half an hour, more than 9,000 corpses rushed out of this exit.

Under the threat of death, the collapsed imperial army turned against the army, surrendered on the spot, and accepted the reorganization of Ma Daoyuan's army.

100,000 troops marched to the west, more than 30,000 were killed, 50,000 surrendered, and some were seriously wounded or disappeared.

After controlling the situation, Ma Daoyuan immediately waved his army to brave the wind and snow to advance, and took all the Liangzhou territories along the west of the Yellow River.

Ma Daoyuan announced that he would establish the country after the Spring Festival, that is, on the first day of the first lunar month, and set the country name as Daxia, the capital city as Xiaozhou, and renamed Youzhou after the capital.

The territory of Great Xia is almost equivalent to half of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the large cities such as Youzhou, Liangzhou, and Shazhou in the territory, and it has also conquered some small countries and city-states on the border of the Western Regions.

The Yellow River defense line is the boundary between the Tang Dynasty and Great Xia, the imperial court lost thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the west of the river, and wanted to recover the powerless, and feared that Ma Daoyuan's army would take advantage of the situation to kill the Yellow River and threaten the safety of Lanzhou, so Lanzhou became the front line, built beacons along the river, and defended the Yellow River.

Ma Daoyuan's army had not killed the Yellow River, and he knew that it was impossible for the imperial court to send troops to recover Liangzhou in the short term, so he also took this opportunity to build a defense line on the Yellow River.

Both sides want to defend it, and the Yellow River has become a border here, and a situation of ruling across the river has been formed.

When this winter passes, whoever wants to attack the other side next year may become a luxury.

This incident shook the world, originally the entire northwest region was in the Tang Dynasty, but after Ma Daoyuan's rebellion, Shazhou, Youzhou and Ganzhou and other places did not belong to the Tang Dynasty, but Liangzhou was still in the hands of the imperial court.

Now it's a good thing, the great rivers and mountains within a radius of thousands of miles have become another country, and the army of the imperial court is actually unable to kill the Yellow River, these things make Zhao Wukui, who has just ascended the throne as emperor, anxious.

......

The news reached the Central Plains and reached the Shaolin Temple.

Huo Yuanzhen has always been more concerned about the affairs of the country, but for this matter, he doesn't want to care about it at all, and he doesn't have the ability to take care of it.

But there was one piece of news that caught Huo Yuanzhen's attention.

That is, in the Battle of Liangzhou, the Jianghu people who helped Ma Daoyuan's army block the imperial army.

At that time, the exit was the main entrance of the barracks, and the rest of the place had turned into a sea of fire.

Because the people who are far away also have to leave a passage for themselves to enter and exit, there is no fire here at this main gate.

The main gate has become the only door of life and death, you know, there are 100,000 troops ready to flee here, charging up, who can stop it?

So this matter is almost unimaginable in Huo Yuanzhen's opinion.

But the fact is that the 100,000 people of the imperial court did not rush out, because Ma Daoyuan not only arranged catapults, crossbowmen and many obstacles at the exit, but also a group of Jianghu people participated in it. ...,

At that time, it was General Ouyang, the commander of the Tang Dynasty's expedition to the west, who commanded the imperial army to charge, but as soon as General Ouyang emerged in the rear, a flying knife flew over thousands of troops and horses, and directly shot General Ouyang with a knife!

As soon as the commander died, several adjutants fought separately and led their sergeants to charge indiscriminately, which gave Ma Daoyuan's army a chance.

Although the news is not very detailed, Huo Yuanzhen can fully imagine what an important role those Jianghu people played in this battle.

It can be said that the knife that shot the boss of the Tang Dynasty at the beginning played an almost decisive role.

If the commander hadn't died, Ma Daoyuan's army might not have been able to block it, because it was a night attack, and Ma Daoyuan's army had less than 10,000 people entering the city, but just a few thousand people, it dragged on for half an hour, and in the end waited for the arrival of the last reinforcements, which completely ruined the fate of the imperial army.

If the imperial army rushed out at that time and wiped out Ma Daoyuan's army, then Liangzhou would not have been lost, and it might even be possible to organize a counter-attack, and everything would have been different.

Therefore, this knife is the most critical knife in Huo Yuanzhen's opinion.

General Ouyang is very cautious, he values his life more than anything else, and when he charged, he commanded from afar, and he was actually killed by someone with a knife, which shows that this person who shot is definitely a master, Huo Yuanzhen estimates that he is a master in the late congenital stage.

Just when Huo Yuanzhen was wondering if this Jianghu man was the man who used the flying knife he saw last time, another piece of news came.

It was Ma Daoyuan, the emperor of Great Xia who was about to ascend the throne, who announced that the Fallen Flower God Sect was the state religion, and all the people of the Great Xia Empire were not allowed to believe in other sects.

And the leader of the Falling Flower God Sect was canonized as the Holy Mother of Falling Flowers by Ma Daoyuan's relatives, and the grapevine said that Ma Daoyuan also once said that as long as the Holy Mother of Falling Flowers is willing, the position of Queen of Great Xia will be hers at any time.

Huo Yuanzhen hadn't heard of the Falling Flower God Sect before, but this time such a big thing happened, and he also thought of a lot of things.

Obviously, the Jianghu people who used the flying knife were from the Falling Flower Divine Sect and made meritorious contributions in the war, so Ma Daoyuan rewarded meritorious deeds and made the Falling Flower Divine Religion the state religion.

But who will this Fallen Flower Lady be? Could it be Li Qingtuo who uses a flying knife?

If it was Li Qinghua, how about Dongfang Qing, who went to find her for revenge very early?

Thinking of this, Huo Yuanzhen suddenly felt a palpitation, Dongfang Qing, why is there no news yet?
