The closer you get to the southwest ancient road, the more you feel the oppressive momentum of the mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building.

Prior to this, everyone, including Yifeng, felt that the Wind Roar Army was already an invincible army through this period of marching, resting, and training during this period of time.

However, as the news from the front came one after another, Yifeng and all the generals and monks began to realize the extraordinary nature of this war.

First of all, Yi Xiao and the two shepherds who were cowering in Sachuan County gathered the nearby guerrillas to disperse, and the strength of the army had reached 100,000, nearly twice the number of the Wind Roar army.

Secondly, the 10,000 Tiger Roaring Cavalry has begun large-scale drills, many of them have not participated in the battle of the Southwest Prefecture Bema Canyon, and the war horses have also rested here for many days, it is the time when the fat horses are strong and strong, the closer to the southwest ancient road, the more you can feel the trembling and trembling from the earth.

Before entering the southwest state, Zhenglin suggested that all the war horses should be raised in the west of Yunzhou, and then enter the southwest state, because the topography of the southwest state is really not suitable for the march of war horses, so he only purchased thousands of mules and donkeys collected from local villagers as the burden of the baggage camp. This can't be blamed on Monk Zhenglin, he didn't expect the battle situation to develop.

After entering Mizhou, Yifeng and Liu Yi realized this problem, and began to arrange for Xiugu to search for available war horses everywhere, and Xiugu also knew the importance of this matter and collected and purchased horses everywhere.

The closer the towns and villages along the way are to Mizhou, the more horses are raised, but the war horse is not an ordinary horse, in addition to the size and foot strength, running ability, it takes years of training to achieve the ideal effect of moving like the wind and quiet like a mountain.

Of course, it was too late at this time, and Xiugu spent an unknown amount of effort to buy and collect nearly 4,000 horses that could be used.

Liu Yi hurriedly summoned the previous cavalry and selected the new monks, established a new Wind Roar Cavalry Brigade, and conducted intensive training, walking while training, and preparing for war intensely.

At the same time, the supply of weapons for such a large army has also become a big problem, and the combat readiness of the Wind Roar Army has been carefully improved by Xiao Fudie's careful cooperation with a large number of craftsmen.

But now after cleaning up the battlefield, there are a lot of weapons, but there are not many craftsmen, so they can only summon the few nearly 100 craftsmen in the baggage battalion in the Wind Roar Army to build them day and night, Xiao Fudie is anxious, but there is no better way to do this matter no matter how anxious she is.

This is how wars are all about, where there is never a sure victory, and what appears to be a strong and unrivaled force is likely to be crushed in the next moment.

And the reasons for the defeat come from all sides, some of them can't even be seen, heard, or thought of at all.

But Howling was ahead, and he was waiting for a wind and his army. He later learned that there were only 20,000 monks who ambushed him in the Bema Gorge, which made him extremely angry and felt that he had been teased. He had already heard the news that the Wind Roar Army was advancing towards him, and he decided that this time he would never let them go, he would not let go of the Buddha, and he would never give up the hero who became the first Buddha to kill the Buddha.

This time he is ready to go, just for a shame, wait, Buddha!

When there were still ten miles away from the Southwest Ancient Road, Yifeng ordered to stop advancing, and now this distance is the best distance that Liu Yi has calculated.

Liu Yi said that with his understanding of Yixiao, he is definitely not a patient person, he was not waiting for him in the mountains of Southwest Prefecture before, and now the Wind Roar Army is opposite him, just like a mouthful of greasy fat is in his mouth, he doesn't believe that Yixiao can hold it, and he will definitely find the opportunity to strike first.

With the current state of the wind roaring army, the long-term marching monks are in the process of continuous running-in, and the advantages and disadvantages of the war horses are different, so it is not the best policy to take the initiative at this time.

But if Yi Xiao really wants to send troops, this ten-mile run will definitely make most of the strength of the Tiger Xiao cavalry of the Long Wu Army pour out most of their strength, and at this time, they can only take advantage of the opportunity to fight back.

Yifeng is most worried about the two Buddhist scriptures, but this Cuolun Temple is behind the roaring Longwu Army, not to mention that at this time, the three major legions led by the Longwu Army are very ready to bypass the vigilance, that is, they have successfully bypassed, whether the Buddhist Temple was damaged by the Longwu Army, whether the Buddhist scriptures were destroyed, are unknown.

Even if he was anxious, he had no choice now, and only after defeating the three major legions, he would have the opportunity to find the scriptures.

That night, Yifeng summoned Liu Yi and others and all the ten thousand monks and thousands of monks, as well as the Buddhist monk combat group, he looked at the people full of tents, his heart was full of emotion, and said: "Fellow Buddhists, we have finally come here after a hard journey. Death is a great suffering, who can not be afraid of it? I know that many people are afraid of war and death, and this is not because the level of Buddha cultivation is not high, but it is the instinct of being a human being.

"However, we have come here, and we are standing here just so that the Buddha path in our hearts will not be extinguished! General Liu predicts that tomorrow the Dawu army will come to attack us, they want to exterminate us, destroy the Buddha's way, we trek through mountains and rivers, and wait for the day, just for this fight in one fell swoop, this is very close to the sky, closer to the gods and Buddhas, the gods and Buddhas are intentional, they will be able to protect us and win the victory! ”

Nearly 100 Buddhist monks recited the six-character mantra in unison: "Om, man, horn, honey!" ”

Outside the tent, 60,000 wind roaring army stand quietly in the wind, follow the tent to recite the six-character mantra together, the Buddha's voice is grand, shaking the heavens and the earth, praying that the monks will turn evil into good fortune and be auspicious in death.

This night must have been a sleepless night, and he didn't sleep well, as soon as he closed his eyes, it was the appearance of the Buddhist monk he had killed, and each of them was so clear that he didn't know why he remembered it so clearly. There was also Zhenglin's painful murmur in his ears: General Feng, I'm so scared······

Yifeng read a large number of Buddhist and Taoist scriptures during this time, and he knew in his heart that even the killing under the unjust persecution of the Heavenly Dao could not cover up the criticism of the essence of Buddhism, and this was what he was really worried about.

Because Yifeng was anxious and tossing and turning, Xuanluan in the form of a bird also jumped around restlessly as usual at night, flickered, and turned into a human form again, squatting on the side of Yifeng's bed, staring at Yifeng's two dark eyes, staring at Yifeng, and his golden-winged Xuanying eyes flashed with a faint golden light.

Yifeng turned over and saw Xuanluan, was startled, and said, "In the middle of the night, what do you think I'm doing?" ”

Xuanluan tilted his head, his voice was crisp, and said, "Brother Yifeng, are you afraid?" ”

Yifeng opened his eyes and said, "Who, who is scared?" I'm a Buddha, okay, what do you little girl know! ”

Xuanluan grinned and said, "Brother Yifeng, I can see your soul!" ”

Yifeng was speechless, sighed, and said, "Did you disappoint?" ”

Xuanluan immediately shook his head and said, "You are not an old man, how can you not be afraid after killing so many people, that is strange!" ”

Yifeng looked at her and asked, "If you become a Buddha, you won't be afraid anymore?" ”

Xuanluan shook his head again and said, "Some gods and Buddhas are also scared when they see my old man!" Because the old man could see through their souls at a glance, there was no one in the Three Realms who knew souls better than him. ”

"Do you understand?" Ichikaze asked.

"Of course I understand, and I don't want to see who this girl is!" Xuanluan said arrogantly with a small face.

Yifeng hesitated for a moment, stared at her and said cautiously, "Then you, do you think I'm a demon?" ”

Xuanluan shook his head as a matter of course and said, "I have seen countless demons, but no one has grown a divine soul like you, and it can still emit Buddha light when wrapped in Shura karma. ”

Ichifeng breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "Why did he send you to me?" ”

"Protect you!" Xuanluan looked a little proud.

"Is it because I'm a Buddha?"

"Of course not, it's because you're abandoning ······" Xuanluan was taken aback, and hurriedly covered his mouth, as if he had accidentally leaked a big secret that should not be said, and looked at Yifeng with a pair of eyes in horror.

Yifeng's eyes were misty, looking at the empty sky.

"Is it an outcast······
