Yusheng Yan quickly returned to the Peak of Our Lady, and once she returned to the mountain, she was immediately arranged by the Holy Mother of Silence to a very important position - there were many people on the mountain at the moment, and a large amount of supplies and food were needed, so she mainly stayed at the bottom of the mountain to mobilize materials, and sent them to the mountain to supply everyone in a very covert manner.

At the same time, she was put in charge of the entire White Lotus Sect's intelligence network, and arranged for all the manpower to try their best to find the news of the Divine Whip. According to her mother-in-law's words, this news investigation is the key to dealing with Tantra, so she only needs to find the whereabouts of the whip with peace of mind, and nothing else needs to be bothered...

There are many people in the Dharma on the mountain, in addition to the Hachiman sect in the line of the onmyoji, there are all complete, Taoist Zhutu, Zhengyi, Quanzhen, Jingming, etc., Buddhism Tiantai, Three Treatises, Dharma Xiang, Huayan and so on; Miaojiang grass ghost family, Xiangxi descended to descend people, drove corpses, supported the Luan Sanren family, and walked through the yin and the underworld; Among the four major families, the Maoshan Zhang family in the south, the Huang family in the north, the Shi family in the west, and the Gazan family in the southeast, all belong to their own divisions, and they work together to resist the enemy...

Our Lady Peak is not small, but at this moment, it is not enough for the more than 1,000 Dharma sects and hundreds of White Lotus disciples accommodated on the mountain, and dozens of loads of firewood and rice alone will be consumed every day.

Under the instructions of the entire Dharma Sect and the White Lotus Sect, Yusheng Yan tried his best to collect food and all kinds of food, and used the disciples in his hands to spread the news far away, only saying that the disciples needed to worship now. As a result, the congregants in the surrounding provinces tried their best to deliver food here, carrying on their shoulders, wheelbarrows, baskets, shelves, etc., and the food was not only enough, but even far more than what was needed - even if no more food was delivered, the Peak of Our Lady would last for more than a year.

Whenever a congregation brought food to this place, someone in the congregation paid the money and instructed them to store the food for later use when they returned home - "The red sun has come, and the sky is chaotic; Storing grain and cellar food, tidying up is sufficient; Our Lady of Faith. Pious Sumeru; Gloomy everyone, all things are determined! ”

Although these words were confessed by Yusheng Yan, even she did not understand the meaning, only that it was a joint decision of all the Dharma masters and the two Holy Mothers, and it was a sign that a great catastrophe was coming.

The cave that was once used to enclose the living corpses has been completely converted to store food supplies, and the grain has been piled up like a hill like a pile.

The matter of the warlord's attack on the mountain was handed over to the Dharma Sect and the Holy Mother of Silence to discuss and decide. There are also people who are responsible for collecting the wind and releasing the line, and there are people who are keeping an eye on the soldiers stationed in the county, and there are also people who lay various traps and set up ambush arrays in the mountains... The entire area around Our Lady of the Peak is built like an iron bucket!

In addition, he also sent a lot of Dharma disciples to those neutral masters to prevent Tantra from having any more tricks, and secretly recruited more masters to hostile the Dharma.

The warlords in Huaxia who had been reined in were indeed like the news they received. There were about seven or eight thousand people gathered in the nearest county towns to the vicinity of Our Lady's Peak, but for some reason they were unified, and it seemed that they were just gathered in twos and threes, and they didn't take this Peak seriously, but only regarded it as a mountain and wilderness rogue - of course, from the news that came back. There are many contradictions among these warlords, and it is not surprising that there is no harmony at this time.

However, this is the intention of the White Lotus Sect, and it would be better to be able to disintegrate those soldiers one by one.

Soon, the Holy Mother ushered in the first wave of enemy attacks, more than a thousand soldiers under the leadership of a brigade commander set off from the county town towards the Holy Mother Peak, this time before those people reached the foot of the Holy Mother Peak, they were sent by the White Lotus Sect to attract a fierce ghost at night, and the army was quickly disintegrated.

Even so. Those warlords still didn't work together, at most a few warlords who were close to each other put together and set off towards the mountain again, preparing some feces, urine, incense ashes and other things to use, but after experiencing the attack on the City God Temple, the Famen also had a plan for this, how could they be trapped by this Fa again?

And so, several attacks by those armies. All of them have been disintegrated by the White Lotus Sect and the Dharma...

At the end of the spring of the 11th year of the Republic of China, the drought began to rise, and the 12 provinces and regions of China did not fall in a single drop of rain, and more than 1,000 counties fell into drought. The summer grain harvest failed. The autumn grain could not be planted, and the grain was not harvested for two consecutive seasons. The Republic of China was originally a troubled era, most of the people were suffering, except for a few solid families, the vast majority of farmers rarely stored grain, generally harvested a crop to eat a season of grain. In this way, when the harvest failed in two seasons, the disaster spread rapidly at the autumn solstice.

"There is no moisture left on the ground, the house is fresh, the ground is thousands of miles, and the wells are blocked without smoke".

'A solid house, a room crying, middle and lower households, neck stretching to be killed'.

Thousands of hungry people searched the fields for grass roots and tree bark to satisfy their hunger; Many people go around picking up bird droppings, washing them with water and eating the incompletely digested grain particles. A small number of victims devoured white soil to satisfy their hunger, and died of stomach attachment shortly after eating; Cattle and mules and horses were slaughtered, dogs, cats, mice, insects and pigs became the objects of capture and swallowing by the victims...

When winter came, the disaster intensified, and a large number of desperate people left their homes and fled the famine. Hundreds of thousands of women and children were sold outside the province; The number of people dying of starvation in various parts of the country has increased exponentially; Tragedies of devouring human flesh have also occurred one after another.

In all counties, the sale of women and children has become a legal business, and there are open markets on all county streets, and the prices of children or women who are sold are clearly marked: women are worth two or three yuan per person, and children are lower.

At that time, the price of grain soared, and the price of wheat was between 5 and 8 yuan per bucket, and in a few areas, it had risen to more than 10 yuan per bucket. The value of the women and children who were sold was less than one-third of the value of the doumai. In order to survive, many women have to sell themselves without taking a penny.

Traffickers from the provinces of abundance flocked in droves to transport large numbers of women and children who had been bought at low prices out of the border and sell them at a high profit. Although the provincial governments have issued orders to all counties to ban human trafficking and confiscate human traffickers, this prohibition is actually just an official article, a dead letter, and many of the deed of sale held by the traffickers is written by the local county government officials on their behalf, called the traffickers, but in fact the head tax is extracted.

At that time, on the road leading from Guanzhong to Tongguan, hungry people were carrying the way, and the crying shook the wilderness, and many women and children died of hunger on the way out, and starvation could be seen everywhere in the shallow ditches and fields beside the road.

In the countryside, there is no shortage of people who change their children and eat, and even dig up the corpses of newly buried people...

Under such circumstances, I don't know how the handsome man suddenly found a way, bought many beautiful girls in that great dry land, and then sold them to the South Seas, and then changed them to the latest foreign chariots and weapons--how could others turn a blind eye to such a lucrative and well-paid way, and suddenly everyone flocked to this road.

First of all, he was driven by interests, and then he saw that the marshals on the side had obtained all kinds of new armaments, and he was afraid that he would be annexed after the power of others increased, so he was more active in this, and even the orders of the tantric master were a little disobedient, and he didn't obey them...

At the end of the year, when many of the Dharma sects on the Holy Mother Peak thought that the matter was over, there was suddenly a news: among the seven great masters of Tantra, they were going to send four people to China to preach to solve their doubts and overcome misfortune and unify the Central Plains Dharma.

This news was not heard by sneaking in, on the contrary, it was made public in the form of a proclamation stamped with bright red prints by the warlords in various places - it can be seen that Tantra is really preparing to press the realm on a large scale this time and officially declare war with the Huaxia Dharma Sect!

Don't underestimate this notice, although it looks like a thin piece of paper, but the meaning is very different!

It indicates that Tantra has finally moved from the dark to the light, ready to take the monks and soldiers to officially intervene in the situation in the Central Plains, stand on the opposite side of the Famen, and even do not hesitate to fight!

Although the Dharma Sect was shocked when it learned this news, it was not too unexpected, even in the name of the White Lotus Sect and the Central Plains Dharma Sect Three Sects and Nine Streams, it was said that the Middle Earth Dharma Sect swore to defend the Huaxia sect to the death, and would never allow the Tantric Outer Sect to enter the Central Plains to preach, and formed the Huaxia Water and Land Dharma Sect Conference to contend with it.

The warlords of the Central Plains reacted differently to this, such as which ones have been collected by Tantra and are making wild remarks, praising Tantric Buddhism, attacking the Yin and Yang of Zhongtu Dao Buddha, and many methods as divine sticks; Some timid parties could not afford to be guilty, so they pretended to be deaf and dumb and pretended not to know; Only a few great marshals in the northeast and southeast refuted it, saying that they would absolutely not allow such cults to appear on their own territory -- naturally, these marshals had already arranged for their Dharma disciples to protect them.

But even so, in that late autumn, an army suddenly came out of the Tibetan country!

This army is wearing ordinary monk's clothes and trousers, but it has Tantric Six Banners, Demon Descending Pestles, Gabala Bone Ornaments, etc., and Western firearms on their shoulders, and the nectar-destroying soup in the skin bag around their waists, and the leader is a teacher!

In addition, there are many people in the army who have vultures and lonely birds on their shoulders, holding wolf mastiffs and jackals in their hands, but they are more like hunters who come out of the deep mountains and old forests.

Monks! The army raised by the Tibetan Tantric Sect finally escorted the great masters to the Central Plains at this time.

At the same time, the various commanders also seemed to have received unanimous orders, and they organized their armies one after another, and went to the vicinity of the Virgin Peak, surrounding the dozens of miles up the mountain, and not even a single mosquito was allowed to fly out.

After the monks came out of Tibet, they quickly detoured to the land of Sichuan and Chongqing, changed into boats and went down the river, the goal was to go to the peak of Our Lady...

But where is the food that can be supplied to them, after a year has passed through all the places they have passed? So, these monks and soldiers caught people and cut meat, cooked it and mixed it with glutinous ghee and so on as rations, and all the way to the villages near the Sichuan-Chongqing official road.

Fortunately, they had something to do, but they didn't cause much trouble, so they were able to leave some remote places to live, so that there was not even a single person to collect the corpses - after more than a month of travel, these hundreds of monks and soldiers finally came to the periphery of Our Lady Peak.
